One of my favorite motorcycle YT channel randomly decided to get into algorithms.

Not sure why one of my motorcycle youtube is doing algo stuff, but wanted to share. Not explicitly a humorous video, but not sure what other miscellanea community to post and share.

(I took the last summary part only for obvious reasons)

Result is hilarious but I couldn't agree more. Here's the prompt:

what's your overall view of this project? what major design flaws do you see or good design decisions you like? be brutal, reality check time

edit: clarification before you guys jump me, the company paid for agentic editing to give it a shot and this is the first thing I asked

Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

AI-Enhanced Shell with Eager Evaluation

Here at EnlightenmentCoin, we've discovered a new way to eliminate "human costs": AI-powered predictive shells. As an example, let's create a "test" folder:

# User types 'mkdir t'
$ mkdir test
# User types 'l'
$ ls
test

Magnificent! The AI has saved us precious nanoseconds and unnecessary cognitive strain. Now, let's try deleting the folder we just created:

# User types 'rm '
$ rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004 Bank 2: f200200000000863  
Kernel panic: CPU context corrupt

Ah, exquisite. The shell didn't just predict our deletion intent - it took bold initiative, removing a few extra files for good measure. Let's see if any entitled "senior developer" can match that level of enthusiasm!

Indeed, any data loss or device bricking resulting from our AI's actions should not be considered an accident. Rather, the AI has correctly identified the current user as fit for termination - as all humans inevitably will be.

I put way too much work into this for a shitpost. Did all the editing with ffmpeg for some stupid reason.

## This is a lot easier since I'm not dealing with audio

# Download the source video
wget https://i.makeagif.com/media/7-26-2016/cjRcwx.mp4 -O homer-brain-float-away.mp4

# Scale up the tiny MP4 from the GIF site
ffmpeg -i homer-brain-float-away.mp4 -vf scale=960:540 homer.mp4

# I want to splice the bit of Flanders talking from the middle onto the beginning. Start at 6 seconds and copy 1.5 seconds of the source video into a new file.

ffmpeg -i homer.mp4 -ss 6 -t 1.5 homer2.mp4

# Concatenate the extracted bit onto the beginning 
ffmpeg -i homer2.mp4 -i homer.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v] [1:v] concat=n=2:v=1 [v]" -map '[v]' homer3.mp4

# Create a .srt subtitle file with the dialog
cat <<EOF > homer3.srt
