I've been using Bing as my primary search engine for many years now. Every once in a while, when I really can't find something, after trying all kinds of search terms, I'll end up doing a Google search too.

For a long time Google did help in those situations, and solved whatever query I had, and quite fast too.

Very recently though, when finally going to Google as a last resort, I notice that it doesn't manage to find a good result for me either. I wouldn't necessarily say the results are better or worse than Bing, but for me, it's not as good anymore that I know I can depend on Google when all else fails. It has been downgraded to "just another search engine".

@s8n
I was not aware that people applauded. Nice.

@nosleep
cum dump is pretty gender neutral.

Maybe I should rephrase that to "do moderate to left-wing Americans still want Canadian healthcare". I already know that right-wingers never wanted it.

@matrix
I can't answer the first question, but I can answer the second.

Concorde was never a good commercial plane. When it went supersonic, it obviously made a LOT of noise. Because of regulations, it was severely limited in it's speed when flying over populated areas. So most of the time it didn't fly even close to the speed of sound, like it was designed to. Which ultimately resulted in it being highly inefficient to fly. Which meant expensive tickets, which lead to low sales.

Do Americans still want Canadian healthcare?

@mushroom_soup
It does take some... patience and trial and error to get prompts to give you something good, but he's up-selling his "skills" by a lot.

As for "it takes less time to create art traditionally", what kind of art are we talking about? Cause if your art constitutes taking pre-made models, posing it in a pre-made 3D scene, and rendering that in Blender, then sure. That can be done pretty quick. Probably that was what his art was before.
But that ignores the time it takes to model and texture all of that.

I know how Epstein died.

He applied for Canada's assisted dead program.

The only way to win this game is by not playing.

It's pretty obvious that this is the case. It's not hard to spot an AI anime drawing, even when they don't have misshapen hands, or too many arms/legs, or don't know how to eat food, or...

I tell her to climb faster.

@thor
I recognized that instantly.

I abandoned my search earlier, cause I thought ffmpeg was giving me buggy audio. Turns out there was something wrong with mpv, and a restart solved it.

This will download the stream, extracts only the audio via ffmpeg, and outputs only the audio to listen to mpv. But for your use, maybe you can find something that can take the audio stream instead and direct it to your iPhone. I have no idea what that could be. I honestly don't know how I'd do it for Android either, but I wouldn't need to do things like this for Android in the first place.

The only positive in all of this, is that the output audio is AAC, so iPhone friendly in theory.

yt-dlp -f 94 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk" -o - | ffmpeg -i pipe: -c:a copy -map a -f adts pipe: | mpv -

@thor @k1tteh
Yt-dlp supports piping too.
Test I did just now, but it's video + audio, so not exactly what you want. Maybe including ffmpeg somewhere in there could work for your needs.

yt-dlp -f 96 https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=jfKfPfyJRdk -o - | mpv -

This extracts 1080p stream, but I suggest you use -f 91, as you're not interested in video quality, and the audio quality is the same for all.

@thor @k1tteh
P.S. You should also replace youtube-dl with yt-dlp. The latter is a fork that can still download at high speeds. The former is deprecated.

@thor @k1tteh
You can specify what format you want downloaded via an ID. Livestreams have their own ID, different from a completed video. for example 138 is h264 1080p 30fps, 140 is aac audio only. You'd issue both those IDs to get a complete file. (youtube-dl -f 138+140 [yt link here])

But livestream, 96 is 1080p h264 video and audio together. (youtube-dl -f 96 [yt link here])

@thor @k1tteh
Having a quick look, it supports livestreams, but you can't download just the audio part.

@thor @k1tteh
Youtube-dl supports livestreams. That I know for sure.

Head coverings + headphones simply don't work together the way you want them to work, unless you manage to find a beanie that doesn't come close to covering your ears.
Only ear buds work at their full efficiency in those situations. Which is why headphones are for indoors, ear buds for traveling.
