This is great. A lot of my favorite people don't self-promote interviews/articles/podcasts/etc on Twitter, so I love this.
I don't think the goal here is to create positive energy. A company is intended to create happy customers and via that, money, "positive energy" for employees is nice to have and may be an important ingredient of that, but it's a means to an end and not an end in and of itself.

Most obviously, one way to create positive energy is to never criticize or fire anyone. But that leads to dysfunctional organizations.
Note that Cloudflare Workers run before the cache unless you get creative (you basically need a second Cloudflare domain configured in front of your workers). For something as simple as a URL shortener it may not be critical but it does mean that you are paying for every request which can add up for a popular link.
I'm pretty sure the TJ-era wranglers (1997-2006), and the Cherokee of the same period hit a sweet spot. Dead simple, no frills, durable as hell, utilitarian but not uncomfortable. Everything after that is continual bloat - bigger overall size, more luxury options, more technology in general. But that's what people want - luxury, comfort, safety... I get it, but I love the experience of my TJ.

Herding dogs are like that.

When I was about 5, we took our 1yo Bernese Mountain into a field with grazing cattle. Being young and boisterous, and of a cattle herding breed, he naturally rounded them up fairly quickly.

Cows are smart though. The next time we were in the field, the same cows split up and rounded him into a corner.

Car guy here. Yeah, I’m with you. My favorite car was a ‘96 Tercel with mechanical steering and a 4-speed manual. It even had manual roll-up windows. It had less than 100 HP, but it was simple as hell to operate, very fun to drive, cheap to maintain, and extremely reliable up until I sold it with nearly 400k miles on the odo. I put an aftermarket stereo and speakers in it and I was set. Only reason I sold it was because my wife hated it and a friend needed a cheap reliable car for his idiot son who proceeded to neglect and destroy it quickly after taking possession.

Modern cars are absolutely terrible in the UX department, but they are a hell of a lot safer, so there’s that.

It's not exactly because they "think they're cool", it's because hipsters reject cheap mass-market consumer goods and embrace expensive one-off artsy goods, while simultaneously adopting poverty aesthetics like wearing old second hand clothes and recycling everything. They're seen, perhaps unfairly, as rich gentrifiers.
a RDS instance is way less labor intensive that properly roll your own backed up, automatically updating server that can be snapshotted at your will and can be upgraded and restored with no downtime, I've spent about six day in five years of continuous operations to keep it running, and that'd probably be two dozen postgres upgrades I'd had to roll and test manually if I went the unmanaged route

Now it isn't cheap, but the five year ownership cost difference compared to iron doesn't cover a month of my salary, so.

Truly, two things drive me to care about having this kind of personal media library, which is absolutely not worth it otherwise on a cost basis alone, let alone the time it takes:

1) Works that are only available via piracy, of which there are a handful of entries I'd hate to give up, and

2) Inability to create curated cross-service playlists for my kids, and lock them down to only watching items on those playlists. Only way to get this is by keeping your own digital copies of everything you want on those lists, or by using only physical media, which takes up more space and is prone to being broken or lost (especially when handled by kids)
Yes I suppose you're right, GPT-2/3 aren't particularly representative of the "average" industry problem. Honestly what I'm jonesing for is an insider's take on the cost/benefit of a solution like this vs cloud, in terms of problem size, future flexibility, raw price, talent required, etc. Even just a ballpark "this is probably an order of magnitude more efficient vs cloud GPU compute, game changer" vs "we'd have to carefully consider and test performance, etc"

But hey, that's the hard part right. Probably aren't many people total with experience with CS-1, let alone browsing HN :D
My cousins had collies as working dogs.

It genuinely does not matter whatsoever how much $1 buys you at any given time. It's a unit, like a liter, except one whose definition changes over time.

Roughly speaking, you can approximate this in your head by vintaging a dollar. A 2019-dollar is worth more than a 2020-dollar. They're different 'things.' But it doesn't matter because...

Your job is not to save money. Your job is to save value. You save value by exchanging dollars for investments. It's a medium of exchange and an intentionally-lossy short term store of value.

A currency should be (1) predictable (2) stable (3) fungible and (4) cheap and easy to exchange. It only needs to hold its value for as long as it takes you to either invest it or spend it on productive assets. Any longer than that is a non-goal.

Wages have kept pace with inflation. You can argue they should be higher but that's a social policy issue not a monetary policy issue. Without inflation they would have just been flat in notional terms. In a deflationary environment they would have gone down in notional terms. That part doesn't matter.

If you want to make things better for the lower class and reduce inequality, go talk to Congress. Vote for stronger unions, vote for a higher inflation-pegged minimum wage, vote for a wealth tax, vote for an estate tax, vote for universal healthcare. Stop tilting at windmills.

I am very late to the Media Library game, having amassed quite a bit of "stuff" (which I do not feel too terribly about giving the propensity of that stuff to vanish from streaming services), but I keep wanting to construct a kind of "TV channel," wherein multiple logged-in users can see the exact thing at (nearly) the same time.

I would manage the queue myself. This way, I could host watch parties of hard-to-find material, perhaps with intermission material ("let's all go to the lobby" or other nostalgia). Plex, from what I read, seems to be heading in a more legal direction, and Emby closed its source ...

I assume the shorturl would be named (hypothetically gov.uk/ucas -> gov.uk/university-clearing-through-ucas). Fully established tech companies has a similar process for requesting short links, for instance Google has an internal form to request g.co/ short links.
> In Rust it's not even possible to write such code.

What does "such code" mean though? Rust won't let you say that your mutable variables are just shared between threads, because that's unsafe. But if you say OK, I want atomic data types (and so they lack tearing and other things you were bothered about) then you can clone an Arc of them, and write code to manipulate the atomics whose consequences are just as under specified. It's just that now you have to spell out that this is what you wanted, writing e.g. std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Relaxed

If you later complain to me that this code surprised you because the memory ordering wasn't what you expected, I will point at that symbol. If you wanted some specific ordering then "Relaxed" was wrong.

> My point is that the assumption that a == b is invalid if x is a global variable.

No it isn't? This is an important optimisation, which you would prefer to sacrifice rather than just writing what you mean in the first place.

TLDR; get used to using a phone case to hide the camera bump.

Low-light is the primary competitive motivation for mobile phone manufacturers. Most metasurfaces have >25% transmission loss per surface when manufactured.

This is a cool research concept. >20 years away and doubtful it'll go into the mobile phone rear-facing cameras. Maybe the structured light forward facing cameras will use it.

So, to remove the 'camera bump' they'd need to design an F/1.2 lens to be equivalent to current F/1.6 iPhone 1X lenses. That assumes they can achieve comparable MTF with only 2 metasurfaces. If they have to use 3 surfaces, it extends to F/1.0. You can do the math to see how quickly it falls apart using this calculator: https://commonlands.com/pages/dof-calculator .

If you have Plex running on that router, yes. Same for Jellyfin (which I recommend) and Emby - as long as you have a corresponding app/client, DLNA, or a web client. If you connect with several clients you can "cast"/remote between them seamlessly so you can play to your TV from your phone, for example.

The library is centralized, though, so you need all the medial files on one place. Also, I'd recommend not running it on your router but on a separate device for various reasons (security, performance especially if you need to transcode). If you want to stream 4K without having to think about codecs you'll need decent CPU and GPU. For 1080p you should be OK with an integrated AMD or Intel, or even a decent SBC.
Ah, I was talking about the other cache...the KV cache. Meaning that the short->long mapping is cached for performance reasons, so it's an eventually consistent, distributed, link shortener.

But, yes, not free if you exceed 100k requests/day. $5 per 10 million requests beyond that.

The idea of fronting it with the actually free regular cache is interesting. There is an API to control that "regular cache", so you could probably control that from the side rather than chaining the proxies/domains.

I agree, and that's why I don't freak out when we have inequality. It's unavoidable for as long as we allow humans to grow based on genetic lottery rather than pre-approved personalities. No matter what system you have, if I'm smart and selfish enough, I'll find a way to exploit it for my benefit at least, and maybe go out of my way to harm others if I'm sadistic, too.

I've come around to thinking just having a cheap computer with a normal OS with a wireless keyboard + touchpad combo hooked up to the TV is less of a pain than the "friendlier" alternatives, for DIYers, because it's so much simpler to set up and maintain, at least for video libraries. About the only thing I miss with that is last-episode tracking for series.

Main down-side is that it can be harder to get e.g. surround sound and HDR working reliably with a VLC + filesystem-browser solution.
As a cheapskate, an hourly charge is exactly what would prevent me from using this for extended periods of time.

Dense stop-and-go traffic is probably where I want autonomous driving the most. It's one of the most frustrating driving experiences for me. But it will be hard for me to switch on autonomous driving: Not only am I going to waste my time in traffic and my gas from idling, now I'm going to waste money per minute to let the car inch forward.

I suppose there are situations where I would enable autonomous driving, like in an unfamiliar city or if I had been drinking at all (assuming it's safe and legal). This would probably add up to something like 10 hours per year, which seems like a huge waste of a big technological advancement.

This is a case I could see going either way. Random mutations are probably much smaller and closer to the original, and therefore potentially more viable. Yes, it's random, but most of the time it won't have a major effect on the proteins the DNA generates. On the other hand, if we are talking about transferring segments, there's the potential of that DNA to create actively harmful proteins.

Police departments in major American cities have bigger budgets than almost every other country's military.

Police officers earnings often rank in the top 1% of their communities.

This is a sincere issue. Most dogs are not fit or trained to ride unsecured in a vehicle.

The one exception I have found for this are cattle dogs in the American west who are basically raised and live on the back of a truck. These trucks often don't every leave the dirt road.

Dogs which are not secured will be injured, injure a passenger or both during a collision. Ever see a dead dog on a freeway? Most of them have jumped out of a truck or car window.
