Couchmate - TV Guide x Discord | REMOTE or Chicago, IL

The goal of Couchmate (https://couchmate.com) is to build the future of social interaction and community around live TV where current platforms (namely Twitter) have failed. Couchmate creates real-time, ephemeral chat rooms for every single live show across every provider in the USA and Canada, currently.

Looking for a co-founder whose strong in Marketing, brand building, growing social media accounts and has some graphic design chops.

I'm owning the entire engineering side of the company and have already built the apps and backend to scale up quickly.

Would love to connect if you're interested, hit me up. Email in bio.
> The one thing I agree with is that scrolling through Amazon Prime / Netflix is a draining & dissatisfying experience

But not (only) because they lack a good catalog. It's mainly because they don't (want you to) have the tools to find content you'd truly like. They're focused on promoting new and trending content. The proper approach is to have a list outside content providers and not use providers as discovery tools. (Edited a typo.)
From the poster sharer username here in HN it seems "the poor author" is also the one sharing it here, so it seems this blog post is at least partly directed to the general HN audience, not like the hypothetical situation you are placing here. So the whole "It's just not for the overall HN crowd" is probably not a valid point?

I found it a throwback to my university years, but I did study Industrial Engineering with thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and whatnot so I did find it interesting. I'm pretty sure it's usable by a bunch of people in HN as well in many fields where software intends to emulate the real world, like designing a smart appliance, games, VR, etc.
> TV and Film have switched spots

I think this is true. But like... ok? Longer form series are better for a lot of content. Characters and relationships are better developed. TV has taken on film-like quality in many cases I don't know that I really see the difference.

> Most Stories are the Same & You Learn the Tricks

Than the formulaic comedies and romantic films and action films churned out in the 90s and 2000s? Yeah right. This has always been true. I find inventive plots are much easier to find these days. Especially with more foreign film getting up to speed.

It's difficult to break the mold in a single film, not to imply plenty of films don't do this frequently. But this is another advantages of TV series. There's a lot more room to explore different directions. Creative freedom has never been more alive.

Even the superhero film franchise that must not be named does some creative stuff these days besides two beefy boys punching through explosions.

This is my favorite kind of review on Steam.

For someone on the outside, what was 'the pipe dream that was never going to work'?
You are assuming a fair and competitive market where the consumer is actually in charge. False assumption.

The world is the way the people with money want it to be, because it’s the lowest effort, most extractive model they can legally get away with. That’s not to say people didn’t like Endgame, but we all could have done without the last 3 or 4 Transformer movies. There are plenty of examples of trash movies that only get made because the story is watered down enough to pass globally.
The Romans also used Lead as a sweetener, and that arguably contributed more towards the lead intake than the pipes and cooking vessels. Those last two things certainly contributed, but the direct use of Lead as a food additive was way worse and often overlooked.

On pretty much anything Linux is running on, full words are loaded into registers before a multiply begins. Even for say, something like x86 where a multiply can have a memory argument and say that it straddles a cache line boundary so you could get a portion of the word, the system still splits it into load to (temporary) register, execute mul, and store to memory micro-ops.

> anywhere in the world with a functioning local government will be similar.

Boston does not have a functioning local government. A developer in my old neighborhood blocked a sidewalk for three years without a permit. Public works issued them one $50 fine. The same developer also abandoned the site in an effort to pressure the zoning board to allow them to add floors to their plan.

I'm a huge movie buff, and have watched thousands of movies over the past 25 years - what I like about movies:

1. Many movies are acquired taste - so even though you don't like them the first views, they can turn out to be fantastic movies down the road. Some movies, I've had to watch as much as 4 times, over the span of many years, before I finally fell in love with them.

2. There's so much information. You have the music, visuals, storyline, the actors themselves, etc. I've watched some pretty terrible movies, which still had some redeeming values, deep down if I you just looked hard enough.

3. The market is HUGE! Like with music - if you can't find any good new music, you're likely not looking hard enough. Indie movies, foreign movies, art movies, they're all out there.
> You are trivializing every bit of research and advancement gone into improving search engines in the last 20 years.

I disagree. If anything, I think I give this research more credit, because I appreciate it as imposing a normative view on what makes search results "good."

This is more than just "how do we sort a list containing billions of keys" or "how do we grab data from a distributed database;" it's also "how do we understand relevance or quality based on machine-interpretable signals?" The latter is a judgment call.
Covid isn't over and saying it is reflects really poorly on you. It makes it look like you live in a very small bubble.
Ask HN: What is the difference between managing 10 and 1000 containers?
I am trying to wrap my head around scalability.

From a dumb perspective, managing 1 container is different from managing 'n' (where n>1). I can understand that part. I guess I can even extend it to where 'n' is greater than 2, and certain decisions have to be made.

But what is the difference between 5 containers and 50 or a thousands? I'd think at 5 containers you have already dealt with all issues around multi-tenancy. What changes from there to 1000 containers?
That effort has been happening for production code in high integrity systems since Ada was released to the world in 1983.

My only point is how many in the Rust community advocate as if Rust would be the first language having features, that actually were already in Ada for the past decades.

As for Ada on Linux, naturally Linus would never go along it.

A C kernel guy liking a language with Pascal syntax, a community that worships a paper that hasn't been true in the Pascal world since early 80's, not even at gunpoint.

If you want to see a use case where Ada was chosen against Rust, check NVidia's project for self driving vehicles firmware.

GPL uses copyright and its viral aspects strongly to try to undermine copyright's goals. That's precisely why it is viral, because it is copyright, and doesn't make it any less viral. BSD-style licenses' terms minimize the viral impact of copyright on the free use of the covered work rather than trying to maximize that viral tendency toward achieving some opposing goal. The distinction still works fine. GPL is viral, as contrasted with BSD licenses, but not as contrasted with proprietary copyright, and for the same reasons.

That sounds a lot like the C-10 bill here in Canada.

And yeah the world is steering towards china like totalitarian censorship, but canadians think that since we are a western liberal democracy (tm) it's all fine because we just couldn't be the baddies. Like when we do it it's fine and justified, because why should we even care about muh rights and muh freedumbz in a free country?? The cognitive dissonance is just maddening at this point.
> categorically preventing this type of attack should be possible with the right internal security approach

Yeah. But many many small/medium businesses have been left behind in understanding how software works and how to be secure. A lot of that is because big businesses offload the cost of it onto others instead of leading the way like they should.

Where before you'd have humans interacting which would prevent massive promulgation of bad actors... now a lot of that is automated. So all it takes is one weak link in the chain.
>The article goes against what you have been claiming.

Not really, that article is an example of people spreading the lies.

Perhaps it was not clear to you, but my claim in the previous comment was that a, pretty much all liberal voices were saying that bill would weaken the existing child labour laws and b, that all of them were lying. So the fact that you can find many such articles saying those things is not really inconsistent with my claim.

>How did your programmer brain not see the flaws satyarthi is pointing out?

Because they did not exist. Like I said, I read the bill and the law that the bill seeked to amend and found that there was not a single instance or way in which the bill would weaken the child labour law. In fact, in was very significantly strengthening the child labour law.

Look, I know for you it is just one random person speaking on the internet vs hundreds of sources and people that you inherently trust. So, I can understand if your instinct is to not believe what I say and in that case you are welcome to just ignore me and move on.

But if you actually want to get to the bottom of this, then please do read the bill (now act) and the original law, and you will find that I am right. All you would need to prove me wrong will be a single example, however hypothetical or far-fetched, of a situation in which it was earlier forbidden for a child to work that would have been allowed under the new bill.
>the fact is that Rust has a larger and growing mindshare so this effort is unsurprising.

I think that is a false perception created by the dev-blogging community. Based on GitHub activity (https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2021/2) Rust usage is declining (absolute numbers show little growth). Based on developer surveys (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/) very few people use rust outside of hobby development.

I think the concern is that the core argument that "I think Linux should adopt rust for safety" is a bit dishonest, given that there are a large number of well-vetted alternatives. "I think Linux should adopt rust because I like rust for social reasons" would probably be more correct. That Google staff seem to think rust is good for the Linux kernel but not, say, Zircon, would be surprising if those same people actually believed that any legal rust program is safe and inherently trustworthy. "Embrace, extend, extinguish" wasn't that long ago.
It didn't make the site measurably slower. We specifically tested this. We already optimize in other ways and lazy-load most of the property images. The only ones that load right away are the first 3 property images in the list.
> I can only stand short productions which have a definite end, like Chernobyl.

Same. TV writing seems to forgive (perhaps even encourage) a lot of writing laziness. I can't stand shows that end up rushing plot points to end a series, like GOT Season 8, or even worse, ones that never deliver an ending at all. (Worst are series that end on cliffhangers as a gimmick to get renewed, but get cancelled.)

I've read that a lot of Korean dramas are like what we might call a "miniseries" and actually have a beginning, middle, and end so that viewers know the story will wrap up.

Not even, we've used AI to describe entirely preprogrammed and non-ml agents in video games for decades now.

Is it artificial? Does it make decisions? It's an AI. Even if it's crappy, and not very intelligent.
Yea, statistics can make a case for anything.

Life expectancy went down, but the average age of a covid death was 82 years old, meaning half were older than 82.

These octogenarians and older are pulling the average life expectancy up every year they continue living.

It would be a way different story to have the average life expectancy go down because a bunch of, say, 20 year olds died.
I agree and thought that was well-conveyed, but guess not.
The fact that the "Creator of mRNA" got a own Wikipedia page only two weeks ago makes me suspicious. And that his name is only listed on questionable websites. And I've learned that big things are usually not created by one person. The developments around mRNA are mostly attributed to Katalin Karikó, Ingmar Hoerr and Robert Langer - over a long time period.

>Microsoft requires a hardware upgrade for security

"This is bad news"

No idea what causes the human brain to rationalize corporate choices, but Apple gets apologies and praise. Microsoft/Google gets hate.

Maybe I'm a negative Nancy and negatively respond to everything, but I don't think I've ever seen people defend a Google or Microsoft choice. Brand loyalty is quite a psychology trick. I think we should praise Google and Microsoft for not hacking our brains.
Exactly. It is a social commentary story where a result from a student's project was a lucid analogy of the plight of their lived rat-race in modern China, with the lesson being: Cut your losses and lie flat. To those within ML field, this is less than new, but as a commentary on how such ML issues can be a teachable and easily understood analogy to people's lives certainly makes the story interesting to me.
Movies are a short profit item, Studios need to keep making them to stay relevant, Movies are 'profitable' that aren't good.

How many zombie movies can you possibly make and still keep the quality up? (Have you looked at what's on page 5 of the Netflix Sci-Fi category? The Effects are convincing, the movies aren't good.)
What's fascinating to me about bitcoin is how much it shortens the chain of transmutation between electricity and money.

A typical situation might involve a business or manufacturer taking power, raw materials, and labor to create something of value and sell it.

With bitcoin, anyone with sufficient capital can simply exploit natural resources and turn it directly into money. It's a capitalist dream: remove nearly all labor from the equation leaving only capital and land (land in the Georgist sense being natural resource like coal, oil, land, water, etc). I think in this way it exposes market failures faster than anything else since the efficiency of capital-infused actors is so high...

What a well written blog post. I couldn't agree more. I've almost entirely given up on movies as form of entertainment. Just like the author of the post notes, just about every new movie that comes out is predictable and boring.

I've been trying to transition to reading more literature for entertainment just because the variety of stories are a lot more diverse and interesting.

The notion that a government which regulates and 'meddles' is progressive, as opposed to being the former normal from which we have departed, is historical revisionism and propaganda disseminated by those who oppose this kind of government.

Just to clarify, so we're on the same page, silicon is the most common detector material for visible and UV. It absorbs a photon by kicking an electron into the conduction band, which is then swept to an electrical terminal and registered as a voltage or current.

Silicon transmits IR, and can be used for optics and waveguides. So there's two sides to silicon, with the transition in that regime of about 900 nm.

Actually, silicon photodiodes work down to about 1050 or even 1100 nm, but at a rapid loss of sensitivity and temperature stability. On the UV end, the silicon might be perfectly friendly, but the layers of stuff on top of the silicon become problematic. Silicon is also used for higher energy particles, just due to the havoc caused by absorbing an X or Gamma ray.

I was actually teaching at a post secondary institute this spring. It was all remote this last year and it was awesome. I've been meaning to take the leap into software development and an opportunity opened up just as the semester finished. The school semester would have had me commuting in the fall. Now, the new software job not only has started my career in software but is fully remote. That's one of the reasons I switched as well.
