It's ffmpeg's fault that the correct implementation is overly complex. You will think that your code is correct, but actually there is a flag somewhere you have to set, or you have to copy something from one buffer to another. Due to the drastically large input space of different codecs and settings for each codec and how corruption is handled can make it hard to test. Instead of there being a simple API, there are all sorts of things you just have to know you should do. The examples given by the ffmpeg project are not enough. It's a case of there being many unknown unknowns.
>I will always choose to live somewhere that is exciting over somewhere that will be the same forever.

If you were to ask the local home owners they want it to stay the same forever. In fact, the city isn't changing at all, it's the people that are changing.
> Of course we don't even know whether this sense of self is really purely attached to the brain. That brain is still connected to the rest of your body, and who knows what the body chemistry of the body donor will do to the new brain?

Imagine just one aspect of this. A thyroid disorder.

If the donor body was hyperthyroid, the head transplant would result in someone with the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Angry, irritable, racing pulse, etc. If they had hypothyroidism, they would be depressed, lethargic, etc.

And that's just one organ in the body. It could radically alter the "person" who they are presuming lives only in the head.
Interesting idea, I would suggest looking into TypeScript enum support as well as it is a different syntax than the JS object based variant (the const string definition can be shared)

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html

Edit: from the image it looks like you're using some non standard formatting for the JS output, using Prettier may be more standard - https://prettier.io
That's a worrisome timeframe, though, if it scales linearly. Hopefully it's parallelizable.
I would say persuasive bullshitters probably includes the perhaps small group of people who have realized that everything people say (themselves included) contains at least some small measure of bullshit (however you define it), and that it isn't necessarily intentional or malicious, and that it doesn't fully invalidate the statement. Thus, they are willing to confess to engaging in bullshitters, and while quick to recognize it in others, they are generous enough to play along for what truth might lie within.
The unique expression of ownership is novel, it really depends on how they're legally interpreted to conclude if they're bad.

If you interpret them literally they're a better form of copyright that what currently exists. It accepts that digital recreations are easy and doesn't seek to prevent them yet still provides scarcity and reward for the effort in producing it.

The NFT of Jack Dorsey's tweet is interpreted to captures some essence of the time, effort and manpower that went into creating twitter the platform.
It could be worse now, but to be honest what you describe doesn't seem very new. Maybe you didn't notice the first time around.
This is really where OLED is the right answer, I think. On smaller devices it's more or less entirely replaced 7-segs and similar displays. High contrast, high legibility, high resolution, but high cost. But if you're considering the cost of a monochrome/limited-colour OLED vs an LCD against the rest of the cost of upgrading a bus stop signage display the differential won't be a huge factor - labour, metalwork, etc will be. I've also seen high-resolution signage-oriented LED/LCD displays used for this sort of thing successfully.

Oxford's travel signage has always been a bit crap, though (and not alone, of course, in this - lots of places in the UK and Europe (and I'm sure US) have crap signage following similar patterns).

The amber matrices were at least clearly readable, but the presentation of information left a lot to be desired. Even on legible displays, constant scrolling displays that alternate between scrolling directions for different text displays for no good reason, and other such madness make it so hard to actually get information about stops that I ended up writing my own wrappers around APIs/website scraping to make a legible display on my phone.

This sort of thing should really be considered in terms of accessibility - for able-bodied people with good eyesight and a quick mind these displays may be legible, but a good % of your users are disabled, elderly, etc - none of the moving display, low-viewing-angle, small-text displays will be usable, but partially sighted/elderly people will generally make do with big friendly text that doesn't change except when it needs to.
That's just cruel
> I might even go to say that persuasive bullshitters have something to gain from believing and taking in and joining the other persuasive bullshit.

To bring the conversation closer to what's usually on this website, AI in cars has been a bullshit discourse for at least five years now (since I've started to more closely follow the conversation), and what you're saying is correct, many of the people that spat out said bullshit had direct financial gains from it via investors' money who wanted to trust that bullshit.

Each NFT is separate. You can authenticate a digital game by owning the nft. The publisher can sell as many tokens as they wish, that's entirely different. The point is that they can't stop you from reselling, because it's on the blockchain, not on steam.

"All skin folk, ain't kin folk"

Black Lives Matter has been on the national stage for almost 6(!) years and has accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars, affecting zero change or influence in Black communities.

A film was recently released about Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party (strangely enough, from what I gather, glorifying the man who coordinated his assassination). I bring this up to say, millions of dollars collected by Black Lives Matter and I have not even heard about them even frying a dang omelette and handing it to a Black person, let alone a Black male (whose bodies the movement continually uses as a springboard to notoriety).

Nonetheless, funding alone will not solve the issues at hand in the Black community. But a few omelettes a day at least would be a better start than whatever else is going on.

I’d like to hear more about the situation with integration.

Like you know if you take a look at the innards of a 80s pc (say 286) it will be chock full of discrete ICs. Caches, bus controllers. Now its just a handful of chips plus tons of firmware.

I find it strange that the number of features and sensors would so directly drive the number of semis. Maybe at first, but in the end a car will be a ”SoC” (or few) like everything else.

What am I missing?
South France: taxis have a manipulated meter installed which they can alter the price via a button next to their leg or the gear stick. The route starts with normal meter speed and in the last 1 or 2 miles the prize often doubles or triples!! They will _always_ do this when picking up tourists from the airport. Or if they realize you don't know the system.

Being a taxi driver in Nice is like being part of an organized crime ring (petty crime for sure but still crime). It's "organized" because they even has/had lobbyists engaging in local politics.

Not sure if Uber actually fixed this problem in the region but I recall when the first Uber's started driving they would sometimes end up in physical fights with the taxi drivers who unlike Uber drivers were in radio contact with each other and happy to help fight an unruly customer (or competitor).

They're so convinced that they're entitled to this scam that reasoning with them is impossible. I ended up with an argument at 2 AM because the taxi driver refused to acknowledge that he was actually manipulating the meter. That was even after I showed him the wiring and the button with which he did it. I made the same trip many times so I knew the fare was ~€65 but certainly not €250 (!!).

From all the sh1tholes I've visited and been ripped off by taxi drivers in 5 decades on this planet nothing has ever come close to how blatant they go about it in the South of France. :chefs_kiss:
But the study accounted for that by having people self assess how often they would persuasively bullshit and evasively bullshit.

Harmed by a poorly trained AI? You should be able to sue, says law prof
"Companies deploying machine-learning systems trained on subpar datasets should be legally obligated to pay damages to victims that have been harmed by the technology under tort law, a law professor has opined.

In a virtual lecture organised by the University of California, Irvine, Professor Frank Pasquale, of the Brooklyn Law School, described how America's laws should be expanded to hold machine-learning companies to account. The talk was based on an article [PDF] published in the Columbia Law Review.

'Data can have massive adverse impacts, and therefore I think there really should be tort liability for many uses where there has been inaccurate or inappropriate data,' Prof Pasquale said. But in order for victims to build a case against vendors that have been training AI systems in a reckless manner, there has to be some way to obtain and investigate the training data."
Maybe the black tax is partly an IQ tax - black people on average have lower IQs according to every study on the matter. As unfortunate as that may be.
>> Do animals do anything that can be considered not instinct?

All the time. Animals accumulate new behaviors through repetition, reward and corrective interactions. They also play. See dogs, cats and any other mammals humans have relationships with.
And advantage I see is the shared protocols and blockchains offer quick and seemless ownership validation even after the original merchant has gone out of business or stopped selling. And for the merchants, its painless and seemless to sell and delegate ownership without having to manage that inhouse, or pay a large fee for the service.
To be fair, you could argue that your mentioned behaviour is an undesirable feature of current revision control software and code editors. The formatting could be declarative, so that compiler-meaningless indentation is not on disk. And, compiler-meaningless changes could be ignored by revision control (that's probably provided if meaningless changes aren't persisted to disk in the first place).
Well, yes, that's the primary tool, but from my now-fuzzy memories working on Riak at Basho, I recall there being subtle and not-so-subtle risks and complexities to manage.

"Müller" and "Mueller" are actually different names. But if umlauts aren't available, "Müller" should still be represented as "Mueller", "Muller" would be just wrong.

Ordering also depends on the context. Usually "ä" is sorted like "a", but in lists of names it's sorted like "ae".
"New laws must be passed at the state or federal level to force companies to be transparent about what data their systems have been trained on, and how that data was collected, he stated. Next, federal organizations, such as the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Health and Human Services, or Office for Civil Rights, should launch efforts to audit the datasets to analyze their potential biases and effects."
>Most of SFs biggest problems like affordability are caused by too many people wanting to live there. These are problems other cities are jealous of.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? How the fuck can you brag about incompetence? Seriously. This isn't magic. All you have to do is absolutely nothing to achieve this outcome. It's basically the opposite of prosperity. Vancouver is also suffering from this "success". Berlin too. Are they examples of cities to look up to? Hell no.

People are not jealous of your city taking jobs hostage and extorting people who want to live there. After all, the pandemic ruined your cities' ability to take jobs hostage. That's why people are leaving.

When I think of SF I think of hundreds of thousands of people who failed to make it because of gate keeping.

Maybe with the right technology you could map out each nerves function for both donor and patient before the procedure and match them up. I wouldn't be surprised if brains and nerves don't work as simply as an API though.
I'm sure there are some great research papers that can be written by applying ergonomic economics to those problems.

Is your point here that Ole Peters should convert all problems in economics to ergonomics economics all at once? Cause that's a bit of a silly point to make.

There is also a fundamental problem with expected utility theory in that U can set to any formula. It's pretty close to just making stuff up on the fly.
> I mean, let's be honest - the days are fast coming when anything that looks like remotely hosted javascript is going to be blocked, no matter how benign it is.

I'm sorry but what? Remotely hosted JS seems to always be growing in popularity, at least in the SaaS business and related area. Can I ask what industry you're in where you see more and more people blocking _all_ JS, not just analytics/tracking? (The HN bubble doesn't count as a "industry")

I have a really hard time as seeing your statement as "the truth". People today seem even more likely to accept arbitrary JS running in their browser, than how it used to be.

After taking a quick look at existing visual scripting tools[0], it seems like the main feature differentiating this from the others is that the nodes are code modules instead of primitives. I think this is where visual programming can really shine, write modules in a text editor and then wire them up in a visual editor. This gives you the high level, conceptual view of the program flow without the excessively verbose visual spaghetti of wiring up individual operations and control flow statements. I think UE4's blueprints can work this way as well, writing a new node in C++ and then wiring it up, but they're not really portable to the wider development ecosystem.

I like this. A while ago, I was asking my co-founder the question "Why isn't there Git for data like there is for code?" while working on a database migrations engine that aims to provide automatic database migrations (data & schema migrations). After all, code is data.

Some more context: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/31/business/google-hbcus/index.h.... The allegations about Google discriminating against graduates of HBCUs are deeply troubling. For historical, cultural, and political reasons, HBCU’s are a cornerstone of both economic mobility for lower income Black people, as well as the maintenance of economic and social capital among upper income Black people: https://cmsi.gse.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/EMreport_R4....

Companies, not just Google, seem to have a real blind spot here, insofar as they seem to think they can just wait for Harvard or Stanford to graduate more Black students with the degrees they want. A lot of the Black people they want to hire are at HBCUs. Many upper middle class Black people—the folks whose kids had access to technology to tinker with growing up, just like the upper middle class white and asian people who make up much of Google’s workforce—attended HBCUs. And their kids want to go to HBCUs, both to be in a supportive environment but also out of a sense of contributing their economic and social capital to a primarily Black college or university. (Obviously this doesn’t describe all Black people. But it describes a very large group of Black people, and is something that has no analog among white or Asian people. I myself was totally unaware of this dynamic until moving to an area with a lot of affluent Black people.) If companies cared about equity, they should be lining up to hire from HBCUs.
The Brext Oxley domain lockdown turning into PR nightmare for GoDaddy
Well, when it comes to work I think it pays to be a lot more ruthless with cutting out aggravations. But when it comes to friendships, I think the situation is a lot more gray. For me personally, as I've gotten older, I've found that it's rare for me to have close friendships with people who are too politically minded. It's a matter of practicality -- I find myself asking, can this person really hold enough space to tend to our friendship on an ongoing basis, or will it become lopsided and a real downer?

On the other side of that -- I've found that I've also begun to gravitate much more to folks who are either expressly apolitical or who otherwise are willing to set aside their politics and focus more on the people around them. Now, it's true that politics isn't just some purely abstract thing -- it's very concrete, and as you say, sometimes folks have politics that directly harm you and then you can't really maintain friendships with them.

But beyond that, I've gravitated much more to having close friendships with people who simply care about me, and that's it. Another thing I would say is that 4 friends -- if they're truly good, close friends, who will see you through thick and thin -- is quite a lot. I can count maybe 4-8 close friends who I could rely on to that extent, and I consider myself extremely lucky as many folks rarely find even 1-2. If you do have 4 close friends, perhaps consider the silver lining -- sure, you've pared down your circle of interaction, but that also gives you more energy to invest into the friendships that really matter and which sustain you.

My heart goes out to you regardless. That doesn't make this process simple. And having seen a lot of friendships drop in perhaps the same manner you have, I can say (perhaps as you too understand) that it really hurts. It stings. Even if I understand why it happens, and it all logically adds up, it really breaks my hurt. It's okay to feel heartbroken that way. Don't be too hard on yourself. This past year has been extremely hard on everyone. Best of luck.
I think the number one detractor to black neighborhoods from engaging in CS is more of a cultural thing. The same reason why women in tech is still pretty low is also the same reason black people in tech is low. The culture tied to their race/sex in the immediate area tends to sway their futures. If dealing drugs or just dropping out is the norm among your friends, it's gonna be very hard for one to just pick up CS at a high school or early college level for men. Even if it's free.
> French people do use the regular order but in some occasions do write it as FAMILYNAME GivenName

The EU also likes to do this, perhaps so HUNGARIAN Dude isn't called "Mr. Dude".
Not exactly a pure Black problem, being dragged down by family money problems is very common in poor and lower middle class. At least in my culture (Brazil). Family freeloaders are more difficult to spot because things are generally hard, so the support network ends up being spread thin. One must to learn to be tough, and live with the reputation, if they wants to accumulate some wealth.
FFMPEG's API is far from perfect. In order to work with a video in a memory buffer you literally have to write part of a virtual filesystem driver. That is not perfect API design. You should just let me pass in a memory buffer and length. I am not really bothered with how verbose it can be since it is rather low level. What I am bothered by are undocumented pitfalls in demuxing, decoding, and handling color spaces. Ideally their should be an API that handles taking care of all the pitfalls correctly or there should be documentation explaining the pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Strictly that's not correct. The whole experience here was a "warning", though it was given to users of the site and not the owners directly. Chrome will allow access through that warning page via an override, and of course they have the option of using other browsers.

But even interpreting you narrowly: How much warning do you think Google should be expected to give before flagging sites with known malicious content? Would you apply that same logic to the sites you visit as a user?

I just don't see how the principle you want is going to work in concert with a world with rampant malware. Most of us very much want the trigger happy filers, because it keeps the problem manageable at the cost of some inconvenience and increased vigilance on the part of the content providers, which is IMHO exactly where it should be.
