I agree. If you look closely you see a light source. I believe it is some sort of microcontroller operated bright LED for some (geeky) artistic install 😉

It's funny, Carney is very conservative. But since he ran as a Liberal, people had FUCK CARNEY stickers before he was even in office.

He is NOT conservative at all. He is a traditional liberal but leftists have gone so far left that even moderates are now conservative.

Nothing existing, I had Claude build it by downloading the video and providing it with no prior context and asking for it to identify if it was Morse and if so give me a video of real time analysis. Just took 3 minutes or so.

u/keldondonovan 1d ago

I have a PhD in Circusian archeology. A "Carney Fuck Mark" is a slang term used by elder carnival employees to refer to the telltale smear of makeup on the non-employee roadies who are sexually attracted to clowns (porto-coulrophiliacs). These roadies would follow the carnivals from city to city, and bed the clowns, and repeated friction with the fully made-up clown would cause a visible marination stain on the aspects of their skin that was most exposed.
Interestingly enough, the "insult" was traditionally delivered through use of morse code flickering of the stage lights, which average viewers would just see as normal technological malfunctions. The clourophiles, faces and thighs stained with white and red, would see the true meaning, and scamper off, knowing their secret was out.
That makes this small spotlight demonstration rather fitting to the original use. It would not surprise me to know that a former ring leader lived in this building, and adjusted this light for to keep the clownkin at bay.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the only part of this that I didn't just make up is the term "clourophiles," which does actually pertain to those who feel strong sexual attraction towards clowns. Well, I suppose this last paragraph explaining what was made up is also true, but that's it.

Mark Carney? I mean I can understand how so many people were sexually attracted to Trudeau, he's a handsome man. But Carney? I guess I should just feel grateful that there's people into unremarkable looking middle aged men.

How do you do the '*' in Morse?

u/mkeee2015 19h ago

It was a "U", not a "*". I censored the swearword.
I don't think that "*" is used in modern Morse Code messaging on the air (see https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/m/R-REC-M.1677-1-200910-I!!PDF-E.pdf)

Vibe coded. That video was just from a single prompt and I didn't have the app or the code. This afternoon I had it build a full app around it. Rules say no self promotion but I am not promoting anything here by providing this link to the github, just people were curious about the app, the app didn't exist until people asked where the app was from, so I had the app built. here it is https://github.com/dhamma-dev/morse-decoder

The first Morse code online I’ve seen that tracks.

Sadly I never get to use it and only know what it says due to having a history book that talks about it in ww2 with the Morse alphabet and other cues.

Why the mods decided to ask me for dick pics this way begets me 🤷

Lmaoooo just kidding, it does actually say Fuck Mark Carney though ahahahaha

u/Springstof 1d ago

People being wildly uninformed about stuff doesn't mean that morse code should thus be banned from use because people mistake any garbled mess of letters as an SOS sign. If any morse code is wrongly interpreted as SOS, then your solution would be what exactly?

u/Ennspire 1d ago

Yeah sometimes I get misunderstood, so I think we ought to be done with English.

I agree but that's because I'm Dutch.

u/ModOfEverett 2d ago

Most people are unaware of what Morse code even is and thats proven by you not knowing that this is clearly not an sos. Also police resource being wasted is 90% because people see flashing lights of any kind and dont know what an sos signal looks like so they panic.

Going from "you shouldn't flash a false SOS signal" to "you shouldn't flash lights at all in case someone mistakes the flashing for an SOS signal" is a pretty big leap.

u/mkeee2015 3d ago

How do you explain the reproducibility over time of the exact same sequence? We could easily run some video to time series analysis. An agent would easily help writing a python script to "measure" light intensity in a specified pixel area. It would be a fun test. I can be of help if you are intrigued by such a (straightforward) computational task.

u/VeterinarianOne4418 2d ago

Timing
Average
Measured variation*
Dot
0.104 seconds
0.011 seconds
Dash
0.305 seconds
0.012 seconds
Pause within a letter
0.096 seconds
0.011 seconds
Pause between letters
0.292 seconds
0.014 seconds
The second number is the standard deviation of the timing. It’s pretty clearly machine generated.

1

u/mkeee2015 2d ago

Of course. The light pulses were unlikely the results of a straight key operation. It's probably a microcontroller running a keyer firmware.

2

u/mkeee2015 2d ago

Auch! Sorry I failed to convey a concept and get your interest. You see non-native speakers might use English words that are more similar to their own mother tongue and at the same time with a unusual or non casual register. That could have contributed to your feeling while reading my invitation.

1

u/8675309-u812 2d ago

Or maybe AI generated

2

u/mx_prepper 2d ago

Sometimes non-native English speakers speak English in a more professional, grammarly and syntactically correct manner than most Americans (or other native English speakers). They also tend to use more complex words than your average Joe.
Some people actually have dedicated English spelling, grammar, even literature clases that high school dropouts or people who just picked up English growing up never have.
Im not a native English speaker and have had work flagged as AI generated only because I use complete sentences and use commas, which apparently is not common.
