FAQ

When will presentation PDFs be available?

Presentation PDFs for a given day will be available 7AM (PDT) on the day they are presented on tutorials or conference pages. (NOTE: Credentials from registration email required.)

When do presentations begin?

Live presentations begin at the times shown in the program schedule at https://hc33.hotchips.org. All program presentation times are PDT (UTC-7). Google calendar program page

Will the presentations be recorded? If so, when will the recordings be available?

Live presentations will be recorded and available for replay shortly after each session concludes. Until these presentations are made generally available to the public, the stream recordings will remain available to you using your conference credentials. The recorded videos are accessible in a playlist linked at the top of the tutorial and conference pages. The talks are available in session long segments. You will need to scan to find the start of an individual talk.

When will the recordings and slides be available to the general public?

In late 2021 or early 2022 we will post the videos for Hot Chips 33 to YouTube and the slides to https://hc33.hotchips.org just as we have done in the past. Until then the conference site will remain available for viewing slides and replay for registered conference attendees.

My password lets me access the pdfs, but not the videostream. What do I do?

The credential management for PDFs and videos are different so you will have to login to both separately.

I want to download all of the PDFs at once!

After the conference, we will have the full “proceedings” available to download as a single zip file. For now only individual presentation PDFs are available and a zip file of the currently available PDFs.

Note: Switching tabs to and from the videostream page in certain browsers (esp Safari) confuses the streaming provider and gives a ‘too many devices’ error. Try to avoid doing so.
Note: You’ll get infinite buffering if your browser thinks it’s authed, but the server disagrees and doesn’t serve video. You need to get to the challenge prompt again.
Note: Scrolling with the mouse wheel adjusts the volume. <- Accounts for most local volume issues.
Note: Most of these steps are designed to force the video player to start from scratch, which fixes 90% of issues.
