There's no AI in my program, it's as simple as it sounds: get regular screenshots from the video, collate the corresponding closed captions. One natural improvement of this, though, using some ML would be to focus on the slides when there is a slide+banner+floating head type of presentation. That wouldn't be terribly hard to implement in Python, in Haskell would get me ages (there's Hasktorch, but I havent' tried it, also I have many more years of Python behind me).

Your idea sounds intriguing, though. I wonder how one could measure _interest_ in this regard, some form of entropy measure might be right, but how to construct it would be the fun part.
Hello,

I'm genuinely curious: why did you implement it in FreeBSD rather than Linux? Isn't that kind of offload something that already exists in Linux? Or does something in the way Linux is implemented/designed that makes it impractical / impossible to implement as efficiently? Or is somehow Linux not secure enough for your use case? Or not something else enough?

I'm asking because I'm always interested to know what are the practical limitations of Linux and also because, while I think it's nice that Linux had some serious competitors, I cannot help being a bit sad that contribution like this will only benefit the few people that use FreeBSD (even if to be fair, it seems that it will benefit all netflix customers at least, which is quite a few people ;) )
This is a bad expectation to have

> If it takes skilled human effort, we expect it to be well compensated.

Because this is true

> The employees are poorly compensated because people will do that job for that level of compensation.

I would rephrase to:

“If the supply of labor is low relative to demand, and the purchaser has the ability to pay, we expect it to be well compensated.”
I've spent a fair bit of time in India, mostly with work, over the past 15 years or so.

Despite being a meat eater at home, any time I'm in India, I don't eat meat - none at all, for up to 4 weeks at a time. And I don't miss it one bit! Fact is that India veg food is much more common, but also IMO much more tasty.

So you're assuming native 4KiB sector support (which requires both modern disks and operating systems)? Traditional 512 byte sectors only allow for 61 tables to be updated atomically.

What happens when you exceed the limit? Does it silently become non-atomic?

Also, I find it a bit strange you're talking about pages, not (disk) sectors.
They cut down waste a lot when it comes to manufactured home,s pre-built walls, etc..
Yes, of course they wanted the building to be tall. The claim is that it wouldn't be super-tall, skinny, and with so much empty space, if not for the particulars of NYC zoning law. If they were allowed to make a normally-proportioned building on an entire lot, then they most likely would have done that. But they aren't.
We import those products like garlic and broccoli from China as part of a trade deal where they import corn and other grains even though they can and do produce their own. They have many more mouths to feed, so on their end, getting all of this extra grain in exchange for shipping over a select variety of vegetables and fish is a net plus to them, and to us, it provides an established return on government provided grain subsidies that allow them to issue more grain subsidies.
The blog post currently says: "I would love a many cities". I would guess that "a" should be replaced with "so" rather than "for". Perhaps the author will correct it and we'll find out.

You're missing the part where those government subsidies are being issued to growers who provide products certified for the SNAP and WIC programs.

It is:

Of course, they could have called the second one "shop2" and so on. But then one is really only distinguishing machines by their number. You might as well just call them "1", "2", and "3". The only time this kind of naming scheme is appropriate is when you have a lot of machines and there are no reasons for any human to distinguish between them. For example, a master computer might be controlling an array of one hundred computers. In this case, it makes sense to refer to them with the array indices.
I don’t understand what “natural” has to do with the article. The article mentions a new material that is transparent and has better insulating properties and makes no claim about being natural
How is that different from saying: "It's silly to eat Indian food [prepared by Americans] when there are plenty delicious American dishes"? No one is forced to eat fake meat, but as vegetarian who likes burgers, how am I silly for eating fake meat burgers? I also eat tofu, vegetables, Indian, Italian, and Vietnamese food, and I think variety is a nice thing to have. Silly me.
If BTC mining and related operations were halted right now as you wish, by what percentage would the CO2 production decrease? By 0.1%, inconsequential.

> Automation increases your productivity and thus increases the amount of value you can produce.

But not the price you can sell at, unless the demand curve also shifts in proportion to the increase in supply.

> Those burger flippers are compensated poorly because you need a lot of them to run a restaurant that serves cheap food.

They are compensated poorly because there exists other supply of burger flippers willing to flip burgers at that level of compensation, and because burger purchasers are only able/willing to pay a certain amount for burgers.

> You still need proper government policies that drive unemployment down to reap these benefits.

You need government policies to restrict the supply of labor because the increase in supply of labor is not being met with a proportional increase in demand for labor. Hence overtime, vacation leave, parental leave, minimum age, taxpayer funded education, etc.
Well, I must admit that users currently need to know a little bit about how things work in order to use it, it isn't completely foolproof.

As an example, the type of channels/branches in Pijul contains things equivalent to `BTreeMap<String, (BTreeMap<Vertex, Vec<Edge>>, BTreeMap<u64, Change>)>`, and failing to update the pointers can result in corruption. Of course one can provide a safe interface on top of that (which I do in Pijul), but that depends on the types, so it isn't done yet (macros to derive safe implementations would be a really cool project btw).

Edit: to answer your question more specifically, small sectors might make it silently non-atomic, but there are workarounds (for example by using an extra level of indirection).
I have a similar grip with "plant-based meats" - no, it's not meat and doesn't accurately mimic meat either; and if you want to go a layer deeper, meat is already plant-based due to the animals eating plants which then get concentrated down into dense nutrients and calories, and if talking about high fat red meat, then in the exact proportions our body and brain needs -which makes sense since we're animals too.

Won't the foam deteriorate over time, possibly faster than the concrete ?
What would the price of meat be if producers had to pay for the impact on nature and actually care about animal welfare?

I admit I love meat but I am increasingly trying out plant based alternatives and I must say that I am increasingly impressed by what I taste. Availability is a problem for me. Most stores don’t have all these new products.

It is also one of the downsides and benefits of living inside the Norwegian agricultural bubble. We rely a lot on our own products which is limits variation given how small the Norwegian market is. On the positive side it means better animal welfare and meat safety. When you don’t directly compete with foreign meat producers government is not pressured to lower standards to be competitive.

Not an intentional feature of the iPhone however.

Which the article states as such "they are engineered to allow us to use strong magnets over the chest to control their function"

Probably because these devices are already known to the patients an doctors, but until recently, phones havne't had magnets big and strong enough for this effect.

The IP datagram is printed, on a small scroll of paper, in
hexadecimal, with each octet separated by whitestuff and blackstuff.
The scroll of paper is wrapped around one leg of the avian carrier.
A band of duct tape is used to secure the datagram's edges. The
bandwidth is limited to the leg length. The MTU is variable, and
paradoxically, generally increases with increased carrier age. A
typical MTU is 256 milligrams. Some datagram padding may be needed.

Upon receipt, the duct tape is removed and the paper copy of the
datagram is optically scanned into a electronically transmittable
form.

Speaking about at least NYC, the nightclub prices have gone just a little bit too nuts right before Covid - think $2k for a table for 4 with a single bottle of ($30 dollar) vodka. $25 mix drinks were a norm.

Combined with lack of innovative artists and ever-increasing homogeneity of style (do I sound like a grumpy old man yet?), clubs seemed to have been racing towards a peak. Smaller venues were suddenly cooler, cheaper, and more interesting.

As well as misplaced quotes, a lot or people like to identify connections between places that Tolkien lived in or visited and places in Middle Earth. Clearly, there are likely inspirations, for example, young Tolkien's walking holiday in the Alps may have informed some of his descriptions of the Misty Mountains, and World War one battlefields may have inspired the Dead Marshes and Mordor. But did 'The Hollies' park in Leeds [0], where Tolkien was a professor, inspire Hollin, just outside the gates of Moria? Who can say?

Incidentally, I have lived in two of the cities that Tolkien did: Leeds and Bournemouth. As a post grad at Leeds University, the small office (just east of the current Student Union building) that I shared for a while had reputedly been used by Tolkien long before I was born. We joked that it was the inspiration for the damp, dark, twisty caves of the goblins in the Hobbit.

[Edit - just checked - Tolkien explicitly references his Swiss walking tour as an inspiration for parts of the Misty Mountains]

> Sadly, the proof of work (POW) principle makes Bitcoin not physically nor ecologically sustainable. Any cryptocurrency based on this principle suffers from the same problem.

Not to the same extent. A big contributing factor is the very high price of bitcoin that results from the FOMO on its finite supply, nearly 90% of which is mined already.

If Bitcoin had no halvings, then its inflation rate would come down much slower and its price would be much more reasonable.

Sadly, very few PoW coins follow that wide distribution model.
We do as a collective culture! Bigotry is subjective and changes with time. There is never going to be an ironclad list of protected classes that are going to remain fixed in time. That is because discrimination and what society feels counts as discrimination changes over time.
I still buy my eBooks from Amazon. I currently live in Germany, but use Amazon’s India store to buy eBooks because the same ebook in Amazon.de costs twice. All you need is a transferwise card (or something similar) and you can pay in rupees.

The farming industry in California would be non-existent without constant subsidizing both of the crops and the extraordinarily wasteful and expensive importing of water from numerous other states to prevent the farmland that was originally desert from reverting back to it's natural state.
These are problems that would have been solved without the preemptive FDA ban on unapproved drugs.

Society, as usual, over-reacted, and created a set of highly restrictive rules that have cost probably millions of lives over the subsequent decades.

A much more sensible law in the aftermath of the drug scandals of the 1930s and 40s, that would have run a much much lower risk of having a myriad negative consequences, would have been a requirement to include on any drug, a disclosure of whether it is approved by the FDA. Non-approved drugs could have been required to include a warning that the FDA recommends a person not take the drug as it has not been verified to be effective or safe.

This provides most of the benefits of the FDA's role as gatekeeper, without most of the harm done by heavily restricting a market and making it totally dependent on a single central authority. Providing consumers with the ability to ignore the warnings of the FDA would have acted as a lifeline/failsafe in cases where the FDA erred.

Tariffs are a much worse idea than direct subsidies to farmers. If you want people to buy American garlic, pay US farmers to sell it for cheaper than the Chinese garlic. A tariff is a regressive tax that makes life harder for the poor.
As someone who made most of his wealth from BTC (really early proponent), I strongly believe there is no value to Bitcoin apart from the value people ascribe to it. There is no value in mining it and spending energy, just as there is no value in mining coal in a 100% green economy. If I put "work" to go into the bowels of the earth, only to mine a clump of dirt, does that make it valuable in spite of the amount of extraordinary effort it took?

If BTC were somehow linked to and used to solve some of the world's most pressing problems such as modelling protein folding or some equally significant problem, then that would make it partly energy efficient. I don't know of any such crypto, and I think I've heard of only one such crypto that's somewhat like that. And as recent evidence goes, no crypto gives you respite from the law - on the contrary, it will bind you in constant avoidance of the law.
I console myself with the notion:
Rich people are often unhappy because they have a very high 'drive'.

It is the dissatisfaction with what we have that makes us unhappy. Dopamine has a lot to answer for, because if you're high in dopamine you are constantly searching without ever succeeding.

So the very thing that makes successful people successful also tends to make them unhappy.

The state of searching is a state of dissatisfaction. You have to stop searching in order to be content.

Looks cool, but how does it get around the table-maker's dilemma? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Table-maker's_dilemma

"No general way exists to predict how many extra digits will have to be carried to compute a transcendental expression and round it correctly to some preassigned number of digits. Even the fact (if true) that a finite number of extra digits will ultimately suffice may be a deep theorem."

My guess is they aim for convergence and it works well in practice but it's still unknown if that's guaranteed to be correct... is that right?
Greate explanation.

There are already plenty of incentives for improving energy generation, reducing waste, and getting better at efficient delivery: people are willing to spend money for electricity for useful purposes other than speculation.

If anything, bitcoin mining is a disincentive in making a more energy efficient green economy: instead of reducing waste and reducing power production as needed, we now have a way to turn excess power production into money directly. While a carbon tax could have shut down a coal plant, now the coal plant could instead get a bitcoin mining rig and power that, as long as the carbon tax is lower than the (extremely volatile) value of bitcoin.

To avoid the most apocalyptic effects of global warming, we have to close down most fossil-fuel based energy generation today, literally. Bitcoin is actively working against that by driving up the price of electricity to fuel a speculative bubble.

Functional names for servers are IMHO one of the worst possible options, because functions drift over time.

Have individual hw named in unique way that isn't related to functionality it runs, then use CNAMEs specific to functionality - i.e. never point a DNS client at "freddy.dc.somecorp.com", you point it at "dns01.dc.somecorp.com".

The decision on what machines need unique names, not just pseudorandom IDs or similar crap, is well described by another comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26054487 - which I like to put as "named systems are the systems you care about"

In a very real physical sense, the energy is not stored, it is getting converted to waste heat.

Sure, the monetary value of that energy may be getting stored, but we can't buy lower temperatures with money, unfortunately.

When you store energy by pumping water for example, you can later let that water flow to get back the energy itself (with some inevitable waste, of course). When you're converting energy to bitcoin and later require energy again, you have to use the bitcoin to buy more energy (either from the market or by building a new power plant or something), you can't just physically convert the bitcoin back to energy.
My experience is in London, but very similar. Even if you can afford it, the "real" nightclubs are total waste of time and money.

Unfortunately a lot of places that were actual music venues (Fabric was the one that got the most press attention, but there were others) got shut down in recent years because of noise complaints, drug investigations, etc. This of course played right into the hand of property developers. I'm sure lockdowns aren't helping either, and there's probably a bunch of suits frothing at the mouth to replace everything with "luxury housing units" in places that currently have decent nightlife like Vauxhall, the northern part of Kingsland Road leading to Tottenham, etc.

On the other hand I don't think it's possible to kill culture, and the people who want to put on events will find a way. At least that's the only optimistic way to look at the current situation.
