I see the misunderstanding - you are placing too much emphasis on "artist struggles".

I have seen "about the artist" writeups and museums, and I've been to about the artists talks - both talking about struggles. The idea that they don't exist is false in my experience. However generally writeups by the art itself is "historical, thematic and philosophical aspects to art".

The "historical, thematic and philosophical aspects to art" do not move me at all. I've seen plenty of writeups on them next to art I enjoy - I've learned to not bother reading those place cards (and I love reading!) because they are a waste of time. I know what I like, and those writeups are uninteresting to me.

If you like them fine, but they harm my enjoyment. For that matter if art exhibts were about something else than "historical, thematic and philosophical aspects to art" I would likely enjoy art more. (and I supposed artists would scream about the museums selling out)

Eh, seems likely to me existing companies are structured for human labor in a way that's hard to really hard to untangle — smart individuals can level up with this stuff, but remaking an entire company demands human-level AI (not there yet) or a mostly AI-fluent team (working with/through AI is a new skill and few workers have developed it).

New co's built by individuals who get AI are best positioned to unlock the dramatic effects of the technology, and it's going to take time for them to eclipse encumbent players and then seed the labor market with AI-fluent talent

> Because tips aren’t capped, waiters are motivated to go above and beyond to satisfy each guest. Without tipping, the server’s motivation often drops to providing only adequate service—more in line with the restaurant’s interests than with each individual diner’s needs.

Do people tip their accountants? Their nurses and doctors? Their dentist? Their mechanic? The cashier at the grocery store? The clerk at the shoe store who fetches the shoe in the size/colour I want?

Perhaps people should just do their jobs properly because that is what they're paid to do. And if they're not doing their jobs such that the restaurant/business suffers in its reputable they get fired and replaced by someone who will. (Kind of like how I have to do the job I'm paid to in IT or the company will act accordingly if I do not.)

I'll do one further. I don't care if the verbiage is "manipulative" or has a spin to it so long as the term and definition are not specifically crafted to overload plain english terms to facilitate being misleading with plausible deniability.

That's how low of a bar I'll set and they still can't meet it.

I think it's easy to forget how much low-hanging-fruit there still is, in terms of taking full advantage of this technology.

People are still figuring out very basic integrations, and even now, at this early stage, the things I can do with LLMs are pretty incredible. For example, I was able to set Cursor up on finally dragging an old codebase out of the dark ages. It then built new features that I've long wanted. It took a few hours on my end, but would have been at least a week or two without it.

I'm not exposed to much of the hype, though, so maybe my calibration of what the hype is, is wrong.

The Raspberry Pi SoCs optimised for cost rather than power consumption (or maximum performance). This is an engineering trade off, not a criticism. More power partitioning requires more area, more complexity in design and verification, and more expensive external components to support the internal voltage domains.

Another comment mentions the RP2xxx microcontrollers. If you look at those, they are optimised for compute power and data throughput rather than low power operation. I think it's a reasonable choice - the Pico boards are pretty sturdy and the original target is people running MicroPython, Arduino, etc rather than looking for µA standby currents.

Have you considered Cloudflare R2? It seems like that's one of the very few unmetered-bandwidth file hosting providers?

It doesn't do HLS out of the box (it's just S3-compatible storage, unlike the pricier Cloudflare Stream). But you should be able to do the transcoding yourself: https://github.com/wesbos/R2-video-streaming

Or what are some other good options for Vimeo replacements?

Show HN: YouStory – A personalized storybook agent that outperforms Gemini's
by hr98w | 2025-09-11 13:21:46+00:00
When the Gemini storybook demo was released, we were thrilled to see others shared our vision for interactive storytelling. Great minds, it seems, think alike! We were already deeply immersed in building YouStory, and that shared excitement only fueled our obsession with execution, pushing us to create an even more polished and magical experience.

Our AI agent lets you upload a photo of your child, their pet, drawings, doodles or a favorite toy to star as the hero. We combine this with a premium, non-generic art style and a collaborative agent you guide through conversation, making the result feel less like a tech demo and more like a truly interactive picture book.

We'd love your feedback at https://youstory.io.

the big O copmlexity makes assumptions that break down in this case. E.g. it "ignores" memory access cost, which seems to be a key factor here.

[edit] I should have said "basic big O complexity" makes assumptions that break down. You can ofc decide to model memory access as part of "big O" which is a mathematical model

> That does not seem like nearly enough money

Because that's not the reason (Israel primarily imports weaponry and munitions from the US and India [0]).

The issue is the other way around. A significant portion of Germany's ground AD and defensive systems are sourced from Israel- most notably the Arrow 3 missile shield [1] deal that recently went through. Germany is heavily dependent on Israeli cybersecurity companies as well [2]. Germany is also subsidizing Arrow 3 sales to Ukraine [3].

Protecting your nations citizens always trumps morality, and in Germany's case, it's become even more critical after what happened in Poland this week.

Ireland is a small windswept island country, which until the late 20th century had very little migration of any time (apart from a few cases of forced plantation). The vast majority of the country white Christians with a small population of Jews and even fewer ethnicities from out side of Europe. This Irish as a whole are not anti-semitic, but they are appalled by the fate that has befallen the people of Palestine.

> I mean the mathematical idea of the standard LLM is certainly truly random.

Not really, LLMs give you a distribution over possible next tokens. You are free to then sample from this distribution how you want. There is no need to hack RNG or whatever, for example you can simply just take a greedy approach and always output the most likely token, in which case the LLM becomes deterministic (mathematically). This is equivalent to setting the temperature to 0.

Both smartphones (and tablets, and smart watches) and the internet went through the hype cycle [0], and the sentiments I've been reading lately indicate AI is in the "trough of disillusionment" right now. That said, I don't believe AI will ever reach the heights (i.e. the measurable ones, how much it penetrates our lives, how much money goes into it) as either smartphones or the internet had. Probably higher than VR / AR, but nowhere near the other ones.

I think the long term assumption is that the first path mentioned by trjordan mentioned above, where AI does all the work, is the goal. The second path is a necessary evil until the first path, which requires as yet unachieved improvements in AI (maybe approaching AGI, maybe not) becomes feasible. Burning out employees doesn't matter since they're still creating more value than they otherwise would, and they'll be replaced by AI anyway.

It is not defeatist drivel to argue for political action rather than trying to hit everything with a technological hammer.

In the USA free speech rights defeated that law.

But nothing in those maths guarantee you the ability to use them legally.

>Will the cut really help pull the labor market up?

The capitalists don't care about the labor market as much as they do the stock market. In Trump's crazy Tilt-a-Whirl Policy and Tariff Generator (TM), what business would invest in expansion beyond what is necessary to grease the palms that need greasing? Way too much uncertainty. Time for stock buybacks.

He stated that we should not disarm ourselves because evil exists.

I’m not completely sure I agree with that answer, but it suddenly doesn’t excuse evil.

Also as immigrant I assure you that most of us are legal - please stop using us for your arguments in favour of illegal immigration - and would be unlikely to be arrested for a crime and would not try and flee if arrested, so there’s very little chance I will be eaten be alligators.

Kinda off-topic but for a while I’ve had an idea for a photography app where you’d take a picture, and then you could select a color in the picture and adjust it till it matched the color you see in reality. You could do that for a few colors and then eventually just map all the colors in the picture to be much closer to the perceived colors without having to do coarser post-processing.

Even if you got something very posterized like in the article I think it could at least be a great reference for a more traditional processing step afterwards. Always wonder why that doesn’t seem to exist yet.

Not that I agree but Governments take a very nuanced view on what they consider impact. Remember, growing your own corn for feed outside of the government quota was considered as having an impact on "Interstate Commerce".

In a hypothetical; If you were employed by an Canadian company, doing internal tech support and then you then move to Belize because you hate the cold. No interaction with anything in Belize.

The Belize government might say, "Not so, you moved here and are taking advantage of our infrastructure, societal governance, etc. but are not helping pay for it." Furthermore, natives of Belize may be upset that because you have a higher income than the native population you are affecting the cost of goods(not one person individually but if 1000 people with high income show up and are all looking to rent houses, the rental rates would rise both due to demand and the ability to pay.)

If we think about things especially from the second point of view, it would be very bad for a country to allow unlimited rich foreigners to come into their country and live there; Even if they are contributing by purchasing local goods and services, they are in competition with local workers as well; They might even stunt the economy if it becomes reliant on them and then they all move out suddenly; and the foreigners would also start shaping the culture of the country as well, which could be neocolonialism depending on your view of things.

EDIT to add: I like the idea of being able to live wherever I want to but it is also important to consider the views of those who are in those countries as well. I think that some(most?) people from Europe and North America don't have a strong national identity and don't see any value in such things. But there are people in other countries that do take a lot of pride in where they are from and how long their family has lived there. Some of this pride is what builds the culture and the local charm that those without enjoy but it becomes a sort of "We are destroying the thing we love by trying to experience it" situation.

The original quote I was responding to here was

> How do you see society surviving if the prevailing view is that anyone with a different belief is trying to bring on the end times?

The point I was trying to make is: this is not what’s happening. It’s not “anyone with a different belief”. But some people, Kirk included, literally advocated for, e.g., stoning gay people. That’s not a reasonable position we can just compromise on. That’s reprehensible dehumanization.

Or just never approve it and ignore any demands eu makes about it.

Just take a look at Orban with Hungary how many years you can keep doing this without anything actually happening.

EU in general works only to the extent that member nations want it to work and finding a concensus is always the first goal and split decisions are heavily discouraged (and pretty much anything that matters needs a supermajority at minimum).

If one of the member nations just goes "ah fuck it I don't like this" EU really does not have many tools to fight it (especially for things that effect internal things in the country not trade between them). This is also why directives like this are very unlikely to ever go through without unanimous support from the council (heads of state of the member nations)

I mean literally at worst EU could keep some of the benefits away from a country over not implemeting some directive (what EU is finally after years thinking about doing to Hungary) but that does not really work with a country like Germany that pays more then it gets as they could just go "fuck it we are not paying our dues then".

Basically unlike in the US where the federal government has police, army, etc to actually enforce its rulings EU has none of those. All it can really do is try to take money away which again does not really work all that well.

Its both, ultimately politics is not all-knowing and you can't stamp out all technical solutions.

Like, breaking encryption is just not possible if the encryption is set using a proper algorithm. Governments try, and they try to pass laws, but it's literally impossible. No amount of political will can change that. Ultimately I can write an encryption algorithm or use GPG or something and nobody on Earth, no matter how motivated or how rich, can read what I encrypted, provided I do not let out the key. If I just keep the password in my head, it's impossible.

So, until we invent technology to extract secrets from a human brain, you cannot universally break encryption. Its just not possible. Doesn't matter if 7 billion people worldwide vote for that. Doesn't matter if Elon Musk wants it. Doesn't matter if the FBI, CIA, and the NSA all work together.

I really admired Gregg early on in my career. He gave a fantastic talk in Austin, Texas back in about 2007 or 2008 for a Semantic Web Meetup (at a venue called "The Boom Boom Room" funnily enough) back when I was working as the resident search expert and linguist for an SEO consultancy (remember those?). He talked about RDF, OWL, and SPARQL, and some of the iterative ways we could get there on the sites we're building in a way that had me enthusiastic for the web's future. I spoke with him after the conference, and if I remember correctly, he encouraged me to start looking into Lucene after hearing about my job.

Several years later, I'm living in the Bay Area and working for Wikia (now Fandom), acting as their resident Solr expert after taking his advice to heart. Wikia was investing in their structured data initiatives, and ended up bringing Gregg onto exactly the team I was attached to in order to investigate how to apply his area of expertise to our vast store of user-generated, semi-structured data. The opportunity to work with such a talented researcher in a consultative capacity was a tremendous learning experience.

I felt privileged to get to work with someone I had admired early on and made an impact into the trajectory of my career. The takeaway from this is probably that you don't necessarily know whose future your might touch with a presentation or with friendly advice casually offered at a conference or meetup.

Something tells me I'm one of countless cases where Gregg didn't just push the science of structured data and the semantic web forward, but helped to mold expert practitioners through his kindness and enthusiasm for the work. In this way, his legacy will be long-lasting and inestimable.

It's federalistic. It's a bit drastic - but I guess no one could imagine one state having 66 times the population as another in 1789. Other federal states compensate for that - for example, in the German Bundesrat, each state gets 3 to 6 seats according to population.

A problem for the US is that /both/ chambers of parliament are skewed that way.

As sibling commentor mentions, Zuckerberg is dropping billions on AGI currently (or "super human intelligence", whatever the difference is). And, I don't have time to find it, but maybe Sam Altman might've said AGI is the ultimate goal at somepoint - idk, I don't pay too much attention to this stuff tbh, you'll have to look it up if you're interested.

Oh and John Carmack, of Doom fame, went off to do AGI research and raised a modest 20(?) million last I heard.

If you follow the links to the supplementary info it gives you intensity level, for example "The prepared dish was placed in a blue LED irradiation device and irradiated at 1.25 W/cm2 for 3 h."

As a reference, noon sunlight is very roughly 1000 W/m^2 or 0.1 W/cm^2, so this is pretty intense and I suspect would not be eye safe.

In America, at least in restaurants, employers are allowed to pay a lower minimum wage to tipped employees. So tips are an essential part of a servers compensation and should not be considered optional.

Let me put it another way for my foreign friends - if you are dining at a restaurant in America with table service, you need to consider (at least) a 15% tip as part of the base cost. If you can't afford that, then you can't afford to eat out, choose a different option.

That’s a very engineering viewpoint. But much of the world values the whole package, including clean and neatly set tables and place settings, advice on the menu, timing of courses, QA of prep and fixing issues without customer intervention, help with any mishaps like spilled drinks or dropped silverware, boxing of food to go, etc.

A utilitarian only interested in pure food quality is much better off cooking at home. You can do better at a quarter the price.

Food/software is only about 25% of the cost and value in these businesses, though perceptions on value differ of course.

There is no such thing like "bad government" and "good government". I mean - it really depends on people's views, therefore we must not blissfully put our data into govt hands because "they will protect us from terrorists and child rapists". What they will do, actually, is that for sure they will abuse innocent citizens at some point of time. They will. Even if they don't, they will. Or maybe they are doing it right now and they need more control to make it easier

Generally they buy companies which have been pumped with steroids (VC money). That have a good product with active customers but have unsustainable cash flow. They cut expenses, whether thats moving labor from silicon valley to europe, cloud hosting costs out of aws, etc.

Nothing new - happens in every other industry all the time. Usually companies get themselves into some sort of cult thinking so that only someone from outside can make the turnaround work. Nobody already working at a company and promoted from within is going to suggest moving the all the staff to Milan for example.
