Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@MinutePhysics says : Go to https://mondly.app/minutephysics to get 95.5% off lifetime access to 41 languages and start learning today. Also, a correction: the footnote text at 4:31 is WRONG. The whole point is that getting farther away and zooming in to keep the same frame size is super helpful. I apologize - that footnote slipped in late in the game and it missed double-checking.>> <<@kirillsukhomlin3036 says : 2:25 if you look at a CSS spec, pixel is defined as angle unit %-) Multiply by 1920 pixels and you have the angle.>> <<@gordonfurness6253 says : I personally don't care if a person's eyes are moving. I care about the subject matter. Your friend is probably one of the rare instances of someone that does care....and well, he can just get over it.>> <<@sween187 says : Less text on the prompter, have them appear 3, 4 words at a time in the center of the prompter>> <<@Takahanazawa says : dont say: "i did not take that into account" try: "this is left as an exercise for the reader">> <<@drone-time says : Are you only looking at (pun intended) teleprompters that are directly in front of the camera? What about those teleprompter screens that are set up on poles independent of the camera, like the kind you can see out in front of the president during a speech in front of a large crowd (think Obama during his inauguration)? I always thought they worked like the heads-up displays in a fighter jet, in that the image projected on the screen wasn't necessarily focused on the screen at all. The image projected on the screen could be set so that it appears to be far larger than the size of the screen itself, positioned well beyond the screen. VR headsets and augmented reality glasses work the same way, the actual image is on a tiny screen very close to the viewer, but projected in focus way larger and farther away. Am I completely off here? I don't think any of this is crazy, future tech I'm not supposed to mention anywhere outside the mothership, but in case it is, whatever you think you just read, no you did not.>> <<@lolzipop12 says : The other solution is to develop special telescopic contact lenses>> <<@josephpachev8753 says : Anyone else seeing his face for the first time?>> <<@autusgo says : Was that rioplatense accent? ♥️>> <<@GodsFolk-o3m says : All this so that your friend won't judge us>> <<@fubytv731 says : It's not that deep. I listen to talky videos while sleeping anyway.>> <<@blackopg says : or use sunglasses like some kids do this days>> <<@yondie491 says : 1:31 is there a ***VALID*** reason for that shitty thing that youtube video creators do where they have a 24-second passage of text appear on screen for less than a second? The only reason I have ever been able to come up with is that it's a low-brow bullshit way to get people to rewind in an attempt to discover whether or not the text is something legitimate or not. It's the on-screen version of tricking your audience by changing the thumbnail and/or title of a video a few hours after posting it once the viewcount starts to dip... y'know... try to trick people into clicking again. It's dishonest and scummy. The fact that I'm asking instead of unsubscribing is solely because I love this channel and I have higher expectations for it. There's legitimate, well-made, broadly accessible science being presented here, so when I see stuff like this that I am only able to view as clickbaity or yellow journalism (whatever the science equivalent is) or whatever... it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Hence the intentionally bitter way I'm presenting what is an otherwise sincere and honest question. Cuz it feels utterly *YUCK* and gross whenever it's done in a legitimate, non-content channel like minutephysics. It would be like if you started having gigantic unmotivated red arrows/circles in your thumbnails with titles like "7 reasons why blahblahblah... #3 will shock you!". You're better than that. This video has MULTIPLE examples of sub-second paragraphs on screen. ... why?>> <<@sharonminsuk says : I'm greatly distracted by this: " 1/60° " The way that's written, those aren't degrees, they are inverse degrees (1/° or degrees to the -1).>> <<@chadportenga7858 says : It amazes me that some math nerd actually figured out an equation for the teleprompter's distance and size. Get a hobby!!! (I say that jokingly as I'm a bit of a nerd, too, and so are some of my hobbies.)>> <<@ViamoX says : It's a dilemma, not a paradox!>> <<@MrGustavier says : How does John Oliver do it ?>> <<@ADBBuild says : Mike Rowe made a video years ago about how he records TV show narrations using an ear prompter. It's pretty wild to watch as he is really good at it. Edit: Found the video! https://youtu.be/J4LhdU3a1KM?si=PnsA_YerLtuCQ05c>> <<@flohwald says : Read with sunglasses 😎>> <<@MrGanso-wh1dk says : those quick notes are driving me nuts>> <<@michaeldanielson2602 says : Just use Descript>> <<@aaaa-c7o2p says : We should have words that you zoom into instead of reading them straight on. Problem solved.>> <<@BioniChaos says : Can you just make the text scroll on the prompter screen so you can keep looking at the same spot?>> <<@Smudge4C says : 1. I don't think this meets the definition of a paradox. There's nothing paradoxical here; it's simply a matter of finding the best balance between two competing aims. 2. There are other key factors that will help hide the apparency of teleprompter use, such as facial expressions, moving your head, and looking away from the teleprompter occasionally.>> <<@StuffBudDuz says : I think you're missing the point. The main problem with a teleprompter is that you're reciting a script. It doesn't matter if you've memorized it, have an ear-prompter, or are reading it, the viewer will feel distanced from you. Rather, just talk to the viewer like you're talking to a friend. Even if the grammar isn't perfect and you sometimes have to use extra words to make your point, the viewer will be much more engaged with you. This is true whether you appear on camera or not. I can always tell when an off-camera content creator is reading from a script, even if they're doing it really well. And I hate it. I will ask YouTube to not recommend that channel.>> <<@andreac7a says : Why not make the text scroll horizontally at the right speed, so that your eyes don't really have to move at all?>> <<@ericvanderaa says : Is the video sped up bij 10%?>> <<@MovieDemon-666 says : Forget all that trouble, just edit your eye movement in after effect with some simple scripts. that makes your eyes stationary and natural.>> <<@TheFlyingDogFish says : 2:57 1/20 of a degree is more than 1/60 of a degree.>> <<@Horinius says : Mondly isn't actually that great application to learn foreign languages. There are a lot of errors in their course. When I reported this problem to them, they told me to tell them the errors! Come on! They are supposed to teach people, not receive teaching from people!>> <<@sundog486 says : As a former broadcast engineer, I was waiting to learn about a paradox I'd never encountered. Please check the definition of 'paradox'. Clickbait.>> <<@b.s.7693 says : Perfect video for sleepless night at 3 am>> <<@sebastianbajescu4513 says : God is good trust Him amen ❤>> <<@Ray_of_Light62 says : I don't have a problem to appear in public or on camera with a bunch of papers in my hands, which I read from. It is more natural, and reassuring for those who are watching...>> <<@Mr.PudgeMuffin says : Teleprompters are fine, dont care, irs the effin ring or halo lights that freak me out, they make peoples eyes look like android eyes and its way too uncanny for me to deal with.>> <<@caligo5322 says : I used to watch this channel when I was a little kid, and it's kind of incredible that videos are still getting uploaded.>> <<@Wattsepherson says : Great video. You can tell people are reading from a teleprompter as you can tell they're not being themselves. You can tell when somebody is speaking naturally from their own brain and reading something - they act differently and they become monotone.>> <<@scottgray4623 says : 1/60th of a degree... so 1 minute? MINUTE PHYSICS! 🤯>> <<@pb5640 says : i’m sure there’s some sort of workaround or AI that can correct eye-movement on the video. if there’s not something like that, there will be soon>> <<@PeterLGଈ says : There's another issue: if the viewer is (like me) watching a fixed point on the screen such as between your eyes, they will notice the movement of your eyes quite clearly no matter how small those movements are.>> <<@RaptieFeathers says : People being pedantic and saying this isn't a paradox: There are many kinds of paradoxes, including the "veridical paradox." Which this is. Wikipedia has some really good articles on paradoxes if you're interested in learning more. :D Be careful about trying to be pedantic when you haven't done research.>> <<@Daybreak_System says : The eyes moving isn't noticeable in any case for me, but you staring straight into the camera full time is extremely unsettling>> <<@ExistenceUniversity says : What if we put the teleprompter behind the camera and made the camera transparent 😂>> <<@ExistenceUniversity says : I'm upset that you repetitively said 1/60° and not a minute, then announce we are currently doing minute physics>> <<@PhantasticPhysics says : I never realized there was so much physics involved in deciding the distance away from a teleprompter! Great job>> <<@gordonbrinkmann says : Did I hear this correctly around 2:52 that you say, when the motion of the eyes is less than 1/60th of a degree, the viewers "probably" won't notice, and if it's less than 1/20th it is physically impossible? But 1/20th is three times wider than 1/60th, so if 1/20th is impossible to notice, than 1/60th is not "probably" unnoticed by viewers, but even more impossible physically.>> <<@devtrash says : 10 bucks says Destin gets drunk and rants about DeMOcraTs always using teleprompters.>> <<@hawladarnazrulislam2685 says : Excellent video>> <<@technoterror1129 says : Video idea: is it possible to capture a cloud? If you dragged a big open bag/ net behind your airplane could you kidnap a cloud?>> <<@dannybean1497 says : one of the biggest factors, if not the biggest, regarding how easy it would be for a viewer to notice your eye movement relates to the quailtiy of the camara along with positioning, i might've simply missed it but im curious why it wasnt mentioned>>
