I recently bought a TCL TV with a Roku OS.

I think it's great. It was cheap. I'm a fan of Roku (been with them since 2008 or so).

I'm disappointed to see these tiffs with content companies. Remember the time when every video you wanted to play on your computer required a different software player? Are these companies planning on re-doing all that with hardware?

"Oh, I have a Roku for most things, then plug in Apple TV for Apple+, I use the Fire stick for Prime Video, and the Chromecast allows me to watch YouTube TV! I just needed a TV with 17 HDMI ports!"
I have not, though my coworker does sometimes (Camo) and the video quality is quite good.
Maybe more attractive, but only in the 'defraud them by going bankrupt after getting the certification' sense, where they educate the students without getting paid in some cases.

One of the biggest reasons student loans can't be forgiven in bankruptcy is because, after school, chances are the graduate has zero assets and can go bankrupt with the only downside being destroying their credit for 7 years. Whether or not you think this is justified or fair is up to you, but the situation before this ruling simply [de-]elevated Lambda School to the same playing field as other educational institutions - the only difference being that those institutions don't offer student loans themselves.
I am doing production with these recordings, tools are more precise at higher bit and sample rates. Also quality of listening equipment is a factor as hearing is not a flat frequency response, things as ambiance and resonance play a role, music is not a single frequency tone but a combination of complicated frequency additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions. So more frequency room can produce nicer highs and clearer sound, especially when music is uncompressed.
It is simplistic to state that 44.1/16bit is enough, if that is the case then any combination of recording, amplifier and speaker would suffice.
This just isn't the case, also that we would need awesome priced equipment isn't really worth it.
But there really is a difference between a phone with a music app playing a 16bit/44.1kHz song on a medium quality headphones and a dedicated player with a good DAC chip playing a 96kHz song on a good quality headphones.
People that cannot hear the difference should not invest in such equipment and will be happy with the need to invest less money for their entertainment.
I think it is very rude of you to have removed the other part of that sentence that addressed that. To then insult me based on this misreading is really boorish. If you are interested in conversing with me, please do not do that.

Now, for anyone else reading for whom it wasn't clear: I want schools to primarily receive economic benefit by providing economic benefit but (quoting from above) I believe students should have an escape valve to pay for education that does not have direct economic benefit. I believe that paying upfront is sufficient as an escape valve.
> The reason I picked and stay with Roku is that they aren't married to a single Big Tech co.

Same. I'm so sick of being locked into one system or another, having my eyeballs monetized, or getting the shitty version of an app because it isn't the vendor's platform. I got a Roku because they're as neutral as one can get, and so far I'm happy paying for YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime and Netflix. You tell me I can't run those on my Roku, well fuck you and your service.
> 2. iTunes is part of Movies Anywhere just like all its competitors. Being “required” to purchase/rent movies through iTunes isn’t really ecosystem lock-in.

Movies Anywhere doesn't exist outside of the US fwiw.

Personally I flat out don't trust Apple on content censorship, as I think the Apple TV UI is not very good.
> you can bet they'll make them more reliable.

Or a lot more expensive. And if you don’t care about the 10 year reliability, you are being hurt by having to pay more.
They solve different problems.
Thanks for reminding me about Portal, and for the TV analogy. It might have been a Gamasutra article about games also being works of art, and a young medium (tabletop games, too, have both come a long way and have room to grow). We certainly have a plethora of options for how we spent our time alive.
The Oscars have always had this to some degree, though.

> Computers probably can not be worse that the people already on the road.

And yet there is no evidence that computers are better drivers than people are.

I do have to ask, are we using the same computers? I've been using them for decades, and they're consistently buggy, error prone and straight-up factually wrong a lot of the time.
It's not about being attractive, it's about ex-students not declaring bankruptcy because they think it won't remove their lambda school loans. Thus lambda school keeps getting money from them instead of getting nothing after they decide to declare bankruptcy. That clause was, in my eyes, clearly designed to discourage students from exercising their ability to clear debts via bankruptcy.
Not sure, I leave it on permanently on 'anywhere'. It still gives a prompt to confirm execution but it becomes a click through rather than anything actually trying to stop you doing stuff.
Idk if it's that simple, what if you reduce highway deaths by 100 but rural roads go up by 10. If I'm primarily a rural driver that's not enticing.
Wouldn't someone truly "trying to follow the new law" have started following the law beginning from the date it's in effect? (Of course mistakes happen, and yes it is probably a sign that they weren't trying to fight it too much, but that's a low bar assuming it is legally clear)
Thanks, that clarifies it!
Off by one character.

Is there an free/open software solution? One that is or could end up being a second best, if W3W is primary?

If so, does it suffer the same problem? Of very similar words that are likely to be misheard/misspelt being close enough IRL that it could be mistaken to be real.
There's no AD step in the ELP. it's an analog system from the laser to the line out. So there's no way to do multiple passes while listening to the record, though you can adjust the depth in the groove that the laser scans.
I try to do something this when I'm teaching classes. Do the "why should I listen to this? What's it going to get me?" bit right at the start.

Give some examples so folks can decide if it's relevant to them, then show them how to do it (with follow-along coding or a hands-on lab if at all possible), and only at the end dive into how it works.

That way, even if people zone out partway through, they may have learned something useful.
You are probably right about 2021, but I think it is very likely that when L5 does come, it will arrive suddenly and unexpectedly. The same as AlphaGo did. Yes, I am aware that AlphaGo was the result of years of effort. Obviously there is an element of “how do you define ‘arrive’“ here.
Thats interesting, when i got my first roku with voice control, the remote had the voice control button where the play button used to be so i cut it off the remote with a knife because it was annoying the shit out of me.
"Will the Olympics take place in 2021?" is both a question and a prediction.
Washington state passes new capital gains tax
It's like Microsoft sponsoring the NFL and so they have to use Surface tablets. That means they don't have Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and other competitors tablets. Is that anti-competitive? If so, then every business out there must be anti-competitive. Buying ads to get yourself on a higher position in search results, buying ads on TV during primetime slots, and any behavior that makes you look better than your competitors would also be anti-competitive.
> I suppose they could program the train schedule in, but what if the train system changes the schedule?

Just check the train locations instead :)

I used to think that way, then I was forced (through damaged previous device) to consider a FaceID phone and I'm sold now.

Cooking with TouchID is an exercise in frustration.

Ideally I'd like them to be able to combine auth mechanisms but we can't have everything.
The scene from Spies Like Us always comes to mind when bouncing lasers around. Or the Real Genius as well. So you better be careful using this around corn fields, or we know what can happen.
Interest in the Oscars is at an all-time low. The statistics are inconvenient, but there they are. This is probably a good thing.
Seems pretty simple...

Student loans become dischargeable > lenders stop lending where tuition cost != market value > exorbitant tuition no longer affordable > universities forced to reprice to new market coniditions > paying back tuition now preferable to 7 year hit on credit for bankruptcy > diplomas for everyone :)

The inability to discharge tuition via bankruptcy has become a moral hazard that society needs to deal with.
This is a bizarre response. You were caught putting deceptive language in your contracts. You now have to hire a third-party to ensure all of your contracts comply with the law, and 90 days to review all of your previous marketing material and certify it wasn't dishonest. You're on probation. This is nothing to be excited about.

This is similar to when you fought with the BPPE for a year because they insisted you can't operate in California while offering ISAs. After you finally gave up the fight, and agreed to not offer ISAs, they approved you. You said:

> Their approval is a huge testament to our team and our students, as well as an official endorsement of our all-remote, career-focused educational model.

The BPPE does not endorse schools. They simply said you were no longer operating illegally.
That seems the same as any other method of using a postgres container?

It'd look basically the same in GitLab, Circle, Travis, docker-compose, whatever.
Well, we can always spray sulphur aerosols in the stratosphere without all the CO2 and acid rain.
But inflation is also no good if salaries don't rise with it.

The way inflation is calculated is quite flawed from my understanding (they don't include rent/mortgage payments or college tuition - prices of which have exploded in the past two decades).
Strangely Youtube suggested exactly this topic on my feed last week and weird enough it isn't the first time I've seen stuff on HN after it popping on there. Just an observation.

If only it included Web Push API capabilities. But of course, Apple won't do that, as then developers wouldn't have to beg to be in their app store, and pay a 30% commission on any payments.

I would have more respect for Apple if they just came out and said it, but the fact they haven't mentioned it at all, is just cowardly.
Why would there be disagreement about what is considered a long time? You are arguing that longer half life = bad, shorter half life = less bad, which misses the point.

An effect with a shorter half-life could be a lot worse/more dangerous/threatening (potentially apocalyptic) than an effect with a longer half life.
Interesting. You've made me revise my estimate of the % of murders that are due to gang violence up.

My gut says you're right, Chicago probably doesn't generalize well to the rest of the U.S. It could be that there are huge swaths of the country where there basically are no gangs, and so all murders are not gang-related. But still, the data you're showing makes the federal numbers seem way too low...

This [0] suggests that about 1/3 of murders in the U.S. go unsolved.

Turtles all the way down! It would be more humorous if we used Skia, since that arguably fulfill's OPs proposition that someone would eventually rewrite the browser in said framework
Lol @ your attempt to shame me. It doesn't work because I regret nothing, and apologize for nothing. It's not illegal to seek feedback about self from others. It's not illegal to be tall, young, male, english speaking. And most of all, it's not illegal to think a woman with a beard emoji is ridiculous.
> That being said, f*k Roku and their voice remote. They've been pushing that crap hard. Showing prompts on screen for upwards of 30 seconds to push the Mic button. I don't want my remote to have a microphone or be able to listen to me.

It sounds like they have been pushing too hard, but discovery of voice commands is hard. Pushing them is probably useful for some set of customers.

For example, I have an ATV. While watching something you can click the voice button and say something like 'what did he just say' and it will go back 30 seconds or so, turn on captions, replay the bit you missed, then turn captions back off. As a user how would one discover this amazingly useful feature? I didn't even know it existed until I happened to hear about it on a podcast.
Yes, they are but also a lot are sped up. The videos that are raw show the car still struggling to see around corners since the cameras are just not in a good enough spot. They really should have put cameras on the very front corners.

But TBH I'm not really THAT impressed it can take corners and follow more lines. It still doesn't handle very important edge cases, and the people testing and uploading videos are naturally biased to show how good it is to push their referral codes.

I'm not anti-Tesla, I love my M3, but we need to be realistic about the future of what these particular cars can do. They're never going to be L5 with the current sensor suite - and they're certainly never going to be robo taxies. Who really wants that anyways? Last thing I want is some drunk bros to destroy my car and have to deal with Tesla support.
Why do your weeds have 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth in all of the training libraries?
I can't disagree with your point that resources and opportunity beget more resources and more opportunity. I don't think that is the only path to success.

I also see advice in here that implies he tried and failed at many things, and perhaps was most successful when not focused so much on money:

• A multitude of bad ideas is necessary for one good idea.

• Most overnight successes — in fact any significant successes — take at least 5 years. Budget your life accordingly.

• Don’t create things to make money; make money so you can create things. The reward for good work is more work.
You can do that
The version I heard was, "be prepared".
Thanks for the reply. It seems like a pretty complicated subject, and I'm sure I'd need to learn more of climate science if I want to feel good about interpreting data like this.
Would you really rather that rubber/plastic of the case was fused to the phone instead of just separate and replacable?
Don't use their modal trick, it breaks accessibility.
I wonder if the accusation is that they were trying to mislead people into not understanding that bankruptcy is an option, in the hope that they’ll be less likely to default? Still doesn’t really seem that serious to me. Nobody who was under the impression that the loans could not be discharged by bankruptcy will be disappointed to find out that they can.
Signal is still a secure messaging app. Signal will always be a secure messaging app. They have ignored feature requests to maintain secure/private messaging. Secure communication is paramount to signal.

There is 0 evidence signal is diverging from being a secure messaging app. Are they adding non-chat related features? Yes. Are they making their app any less of a secure chat platform? Absolutely not.
Hmm... When I think of decadence I think of Marie Antoinette allegedly asking "Why don't they just eat cake?" Like, actual decadence. In this context is "decadence" being used as a loaded word? At university I never saw professors or administrators popping Cristal and making it rain hundos, for example.

(Edit: For the record, I didn't downvote you. One can't downvote a comment one is responding to.)
One red flag imo is not necessarily gaps, but also length at jobs. If I try to hire you but only see you've been max 6mo-1y at each job, I'm afraid you'll leave soon.

I don't know your precise situation, but if that's the case you should prob prepare an answer for that too. Health issue (as recommended elsewhere) seems perfectly fine.
Yes, The Republic, and Plato's last dialogue is called Laws and it describes a state governed by laws. Judeo-Christian societies were and are based on deontology i.e. the ten commandments.

What you're talking about is the harmonization of all interests around a single ideal, something that never ends well (including Plato's attempt in Syracuse). It's been criticized to death by liberal philosophers, in my opinion rightly.
The social biome: how to build nourishing friendships – and banish loneliness
And to address the several commentors who say this technology is orthogonal to agricultural practices:

An alternative use of ML, CV, and robotics, might be something that can observe and identify all the participants in an ecosystem, such as food forest, and use ML to sketch out the possibility space in which viable cross species synergies can enhance an ecosystem. This could be used as an aid in designing a food forest.

One use of ML, accelerates ecological degeneration. A different use of ML accelerates ecological regeneration. I don’t think the latter involves a weed killing robot.
I'm surprised that non-anonymous people, who rely on their salesmanship for income, are comfortable publicly embarrassing themselves like this.
> And even if not, these users who have different expectations should not be matching with the former.

Actually, given the extreme social stigma worldwide (even in the most progressive western countries) against casual hookups and low-commitment dating, people looking for "more of a Netflix model" will still gravitate towards the same sites ostensibly servicing those "who would rather just be happily married and get on with life"[0], because these services offer the widest choice of possible partners, while giving everyone plausible deniability.

--

[0] - I think that, given aforementioned stigma, it's even hard to estimate how many people in a given age bracket want this, and how many just say they want this, because it's the only accepted thing to say out loud.
https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

I am as much of a Java fanboy as it gets, but football team level love-hate of languages is stupid. Also, this benchmark is not necessarily applicable to reL world programs.

The CLR provides some access to low level primitives, while the JVM rather hides them. The first choice allows for more optimization by the developer, but that will be explicit and will potentially disallow some automatic ones.

Java on the other hand hides most of these details and depends on a very advanced JIT compiler for most optimizations (like escape analysis), in which way even a decade old program will get magically faster. Of course it is only a crude difference between them, with Java getting primitive types, and CLR continuously improving in JIT and GC.
The IPCC doesn't produce scientific research as you are implying. The purpose of the IPCC is to justify the basis of "global climate action" so their opinion has no relevancy when it comes to debating the scientific upsides and downsides of rising CO2.

What few people seem to realize is that during the last ice age CO2 levels @180ppm was so low life on earth for mankind nearly collapsed - and we know CO2 levels on earth have reached 8000ppm in the past - so there is significant reason to be at ease with a rising CO2 considering how close to extinction level CO2 was a short while ago.
> Can you put a link to your comment in your original blog post?

I could, but I'm never sure how much work I want to invest in maintaining and updating old content. I try to focus most of my (limited) time on making new stuff and, even though I'm generally a perfectionist, I think it's generally best to just keep moving forward.

> I am curious though: what do you think about structured concurrency?

I'm not familiar with it, sorry. My overall impression is that there is no silver bullet when it comes to concurrency. Humans aren't very good at thinking concurrently, so there's always some level of cognitive inpedence.
Why would you prefer he say nothing? As long as he’s not misleading people I don’t see what the harm of commenting is.
It seems similar to pg_virtualenv that I use with `-o fsync=off` in my Jenkinsfile.

That is not random speech however. That is a protected affiliation. Similarly you cannot discriminate on political or religious grounds.

Some speech is more protected than others.
Most ride-hailing companies that invested in self-driving cars are giving up on these projects. Most of these startups struggle to sustain their business.
You don't get notifications when you get a new Email or Social Message? You don't have Facebook/WhatsApp/Email?

If not, then I applaud you. If you do, but keep notifications off, that's kinda respectable too.

But I'm guessing you do get a notification when you get a new text message, chat message or email.

Why should only native apps, that go through a dictatorship approval process from Apple, be allowed to send you notifications.

Of course, you should always be able to say "No" to a site or app sending you notifications. This is the case on Android, as could be the case on Apple.

Progress Web Apps are opening up the potential for developers to spend less time on the *worst* development platforms (xcode and android studio), and more time on their product.

That being said, it would be cool if an app could not "force" notifications to be allowed. Like, you could choose "Allow", "Deny" or "Hide" which would trick the app into thinking you had allowed notifications, but then just not show them.

It would stop bad advert behaviour. Although, on Android, I have never seen this be abused (yet).
I learned to drive in Mexico at 13, where there are almost literally no rules or traffic signals (see the black arrow on the wall? that means don't stop). I remember thinking about how different things were when trying to get my driver's license in US at age 16 - almost easier - in spite of how many more rules there were. I wonder how self-driving cars perform when trained in a world of rules and order and are then thrown into complete chaos in other places.

What does training look like? Do self-driving cars only work in certain countries where they have been trained?
But it was also a county official, not a local official...
Not excused but forgiven.
This is a bit how I feel about advertising in general. Human beings' time is being taken and mouths are being fed not to increase overall output, and thus lifting the overall well being of members of society. Instead, Company A hires advertisers to convince the public to buy their product instead of a competing product to Company B. Value is created for Company A, but entirely at the expense of Company B. At no time in the economic... chain?... of events that is advertising is anything actually created, yet vast sums of money, and thus allocation of resources, is put here. It seems INSANELY wasteful.
It's been released to a small number of people, but... beta-FSD isn't level five.

The only specific statement I've read from him is that the basic functionality for level five will be available this year.

What's interesting to me is that people seem to attribute what news articles synthesize about his statements as statements made by him.
