Re: Swedish slow TV: The great moose migration [video]
#72Is there a tech angle to this submission? I'm not complaining or asking for one, but sampling the stream I wondered if there might be one that I failed to see: most of the time a random wildlife webcam would show a scene too boring even for slow TV, but if you have hundreds of them, some will likely have something interesting going on.
Continuously getting eyeballs on hundreds of streams to select one for the show would be incredibly expensive (the linked streams seem to be more condensed than a 24/7 selection?), but it would be the perfect ML playground: feedback is solved, viewer metrics has been an established field for half a century, wrong answers are zero cost and you could create something that simply did not exist before: real time wildlife where there's actually something to see. (or maybe almost realtime, because the human showrunner might decide to allow a few minutes of serenity from the ringbuffer before the action that triggered the detector walks into view, that would still be good enough for "today, at the current time of day")

#73Quite nice to have this up on a second monitor while working on something that doesn't need two monitors.

I've heard about this before. And I'm puzzled. Are the Scandinavians so bored that they find the dashcam of a train amusing? When people are given good social security, food, healthcare, education and everything else, do they start to find life boring? Update: I don't mean any offense to Scandinavians or anybody else. Update 2: I'm not American, so please don't use the comment section to crap on Americans with the as…
> When people are given good social security, food, healthcare, education and everything else, do they start to find life boring? Given?? We work 40h a week and pay taxes. Social security is not to live on forever, its temporary until you find a job. If you are too sick, then yes you CAN get it forever. Food? You think we are given food? We have supermarkets. Yes it is good quality as we have GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT,…
> 70h workweeks.
Which country? "The average American works 34.4 hours per week, as of May 2019. For people between 25-54, the national average work week comes in at 40.5 hours."

Sorry for the rude people on here :-).

1. I didn't mention your name anywhere, yet you got offended.
2. That's a lie. I made the update after you posted.
3. Look at all the comments around. You're the only one spreading hate here. The few other posts partly disagreeing with me are still civil and polite. So the point of my comment still stands.

Woah, the reaction you are getting is a bit insane. Some people cannot take any criticism of europe, even if your comment wasn't even actually critical at all. It's ironically starting to remind me of the super defensive americanism that was common a decade ago.

This is just trash honestly. Getting offended by what you perceived to be criticism by "the american boogeyman out to put down glorious europe" is not a reason for this mildly racist reply

I think having the view always be on something "interesting" would spoil what I personally find enjoyable about this stream. I've had this open in a little PIP window all day while I work. I enjoy the nature sounds and sometimes see a reindeer trot past or a bird, which is cool. And when a moose comes up it's all the more exciting, because it's a unique occurrence. Then you go to the chat and see other viewers excitedly post about how beautiful the moose is. I think if the stream showed something exciting all the time it would take something away from the flare of happiness when you see a moose or other interesting animal in-between the calming sounds of nature.
