yup. also there is no real "competitive" nature to it.

I want to be able to beat it, beat someone else.

as for price. if it was around $2 a month I might pay for it. its quite likely I'd pay for it and not feel guilty about forgetting i've paid for it, which means i'd keep coming back to it after forgetting about it...
It doesn't seem particularly hard to enforce global rules about stuff. It's just a question about what you choose to prioritise.

So if you're an American worker you'd maybe want to get tough on Chinese workers rights, while if you own Disney you probably care more about them respecting your IP.

I'd say its lack of democracy in western states that lead to the tolerance of lack of democracy elsewhere. A democratic workforce isn't going to vote to send their own jobs overseas, even if the other workers are basically slaves and so 'cheaper'.
It's just a different formula. The elements are mostly still there.
Surely not being able to expect every single party member to toe the line cuts both ways. If you need N and have N in your party, either get all of them, get a few from the other party, or content yourself to accomplish nothing.

There’s been a lot of door #3 being chosen.
Why does it not have an application in video compression?
Google's key problem is that it seems to prioritize "freshness" above all else.

Experts on a given topic have no need to continuously spam their sites full of minutely modified "best of x in April 2022" listicles. They were authoritative when they published their views ten years ago, and they're still authoritative today. Google doesn't care. Ten year old information isn't relevant or useful.

" I have trained myself to ignore the news, or rather I have trained myself to think I can ignore the news, or rather I thought news can ignore me and we both can mutually agree on ignoring without even temporarily igniting the interest or a glimpse of it towards each another."

and then:

"But now, a real war... A war, aggression, a direct invasion is something my consciousness cannot ignore. It devours all my attention, all my thoughts, all my emotions and feelings – everything."

"Pain because of all countless stories, photos, videos, and live TikToks of destroyed cities and injured people, shootings, shoutings, explosions. Pain because I have friends from and in Ukraine. They tell me stories about their families and other people hiding in the undergrounds and basements, or desperately trying to leave their country, without food, shelter, or medicine."

There was always stuff to be scared of on the news. But from his perspective, what's changed? He still doesn't have any personal experience of this war, any more than he had of the previous stories he saw or ignored.

What's happened is that he is bought into it, because of the scale of what is being presented to him on screens.

There are other wars, but somehow those are/were possible to ignore (eg Yemen, Afganistan, Iraq, Ukraine pre-2022, etc). Eg apparently 97 people were killed in Iraq last month: https://original.antiwar.com/updates/2022/03/31/iraq-monthly... ... but this is NOT news.

This war is only special because the media are putting it in our faces. The media is a part of this - they are playing a role. Their role is to increase fear, by bringing our attention to this all the time. It is likely to me that the media reaction plays a role in pushing people to do something - sign up to fight, flee their homes, etc.

I don't trust the media nor what is presented. I'd like to understand better why this war is sucking in all the air, and why we have this being presented to us. I expect that the mass co-ordination of the media in promoting this story, at this time (immediately after covid) indicates that we are being manipulated.

You switched from VIM to VS Code? How was that transition?
The burden of proof is on the person claiming a thing, existence or no. Insisting something does not happen, in the total absence of evidence, is exactly as wrong as claiming it does happen.

Knowing there is no much evidence, it is absolutely dishonest to make the claim. The honest statement is that nobody knows.
Nice work! These 'habit tracking' concepts/products always have my attention. I built one myself 10 years ago - only personal use, but still using it - and I had big plans.

I'm a bit cynical now, about habit apps. I think they act more like a coping mechanism, a stress center, a buffer, etc. I also thought about more gamification to make it easier. Now, I think that's a slippery slope. I mean, what is it: a tracking app, or a game!? To me, they are opposites now. Gaming is for fun, changing habits is not a fun process. It's a serious and important process, but not fun. Free kudos (basically pixels on a screen) are not going to change that, but maybe that's just my cynical side speaking.

What I did found out was that my app was perfect for tracking expenses and putting spent money in neat boxes. It became more of a personal finance app this way. It became a general tracking app, without the habit changing part.

Another thing that I found out: I used procrastination as a means to change some habits. I gave myself points for procrastinating that next cup of coffee, for example. So maybe the gamification angle can work, I still don't know.

Also, changing habits is an all-encompassing process. Change of environment, inner change, change of deeper layers (which might be the root cause of some habits), etc. I wondered a lot if a tracking app can be enough.

Then there's two important distinctions I found.
The distinction between an app for habits in general, and an app for specific habits. I see you also chose the general path, with a multitude of habits that one can track. I chose that direction too, and I noticed that there's too much of a difference between habits. Drinking alcohol for example is different than eating too much junk, although they might seem similar.

The distinction between habits that you want to quit, and the habits you want to do more. Completely different approach. Although I still think there's power in swapping one for the other. Eat an apple instead of smoking a cigarette. Go to the gym instead of hanging out and drinking beers. Etc.

And at last, what's a habit? Is someone smoking cigarettes a habit or an addiction? Is "read books" (as I saw on your homepage) a habit, or just an act that you do?

I don't want to discourage you or other people, these are just some thoughts I had that might be of value. Good luck!

P.S. One of the main takes I learned, was that some kind of external thing can really help with changing habits. I noticed people with Apple Watches who took there exercise/fitness way more serious because that device gave you rainbows, fireworks and other colorful pixels when you reached some walking target or something. The tracking is done for you, there's no work entering stuff yourself, so only the shiny rainbow at the end. I myself really liked entering the stuff, but the positive kudos are linked to the act of entering, not to the habit changing.
Do you also spend insane amounts of time while searching websites like Amazon or BestSecret?
I didn't read details just introduction, and i do not understand how can it guarantee that order of operations do not matter. Eg. when one device delete some entity and other will later pin it to other entity how you handle that? and also in cases when you have like assigned owner and 2 devices change that owner to other one with change win? is there some timestamp that decide what change should win? and what in case when 2 changes have the same timestamp (i know it's corner case)?
Requiring to use proprietary software for ability to receive non-cash payments if you are a grocery shop, for example. In my country (my opinion is that was a result from previous statement) it has been grown to requiring to use proprietary software to receive even cash unless you are grocery shop in villages or in mountains or you are not a shop but a bazaar seller.

If somebody is interested in my opinion, next we are going to experience a requirement to use a smartphone like we have a requirement to have some plastic|paper documents.

I don't know about CUDA, however I've made an AVX2 based encoder a few months ago : https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/pull/143

I intend to create an AVX2 based decoder but I had absolutely no time to work on side projects in the past three months.

You might also want to take a look at this streaming encoder if you want to encode large files with a tiny memory footprint : https://github.com/MKCG/php-qoi/blob/main/src/FFI/lib/qoi.c
This seems more handy in a hostage situation than how to deal with grief in the medium/long term
There is so much wealth and power inequality in the world, why would there not be active conspiracies by the rich and powerful? They are confirmed every now and then.

The elites vilify and ridicule conspiracy theories precisely because some of them are or will be true. In a healthy world, they would be welcomed.
I kinda wish there was more of a push to investigate what search can be than just copying what Google is doing. In terms of development, I feel the "genre" has stagnated after very few honest stabs at the problem.

I do think it's a lot harder to beat one of the largest tech companies in the world at their own game than carving out some niche for yourself not just in what is indexed but what you are doing (and then maybe taking over the world once that foothold has been firmly established).
How-to of installing NextCloud to regain control over your data, and posting it on YouTube? You need another video on how to publish to PeerTube ;)
I'm still going at my bike computer - you know, the open source, hackable one.

I spent the past 2 months improving Tock OS - added GPS and file system - and yesterday got the display running:

The argument is ridiculous because there probably are thousands of videos on how to have your own cloud.
But monopolies are good for us and all regulation of companies is bad.

Might be worth telling Matt Stoller about this. https://mattstoller.substack.com/
I think I broadly agree with the author, but since they seem entirely ignorant of all the imperial shit that the US, the USSR and Europe got up to after the second world war, I'm not sure their advice can be fully trusted if they've only just woken up to this.

The use of 'defend' in the title, and the weird bit about how stationing troops in new NATO countries was the important bit we didn't do, worry me.

But yeah, decentralize power supply, spread global democracy, stop actively supporting fascists and oligarchs at home or abroad. All sensible things we should have been doing since the end of the second world war but it was more profitable for well connected people to align with dictators around the world, from South Africa to South Korea to South America and the American South.

Well done to all those, like George Soros, who actually championed Democracy as a real thing and don't just use that as a slogan to start wars for oil with dictators we couldn't control as much as we used to.
As a citizen, you "are" not your country or your power bloc. You can be against your own's and others' bad interventions. The alternative would be to sort of accept both? No thanks.

If it looks hypocritical from the outside, so be it. At least, when somebody says "but what about WMDs in Iraq", you can tell them that you were against that war as well and you protested - if you did.
Imagine AWS wanting to get rid of attribution. Sounds like something that isn’t the slightest bit disingenuous.
Conspiracy theories are interesting:

- they show you which parts of society inspire distrust (COVID is more a trust crisis than a health one IMO).

- they can show a lot of creativity (lizard people, come on!).

- they may point at something that will turn out to be in need of examination (remember before snowden how the gov spying on everyone was tinfoil hat BS?).

- they force public debate, and raise attention to important questions (e.g: how social network apps influence our society).

A like the article says, they show you in which way people secretly suffer. And that deserves compassion.
Host it on peertube and platforms less prone to cancelling you for no vaoid reason.
similar boat.

The trick to counter the bad I've found is to do these setups when my brain is tired, and in "delusions of grandeur" mode - which is at 2-3AM. The Habit app on Android has really helped me stick to some tough good habits and give up some bad ones.
Ah, the good part is probably that the connected machines are not going to move very much, nor is the AP (e.g. the connections between the AP and machines are all cables). I simply don’t have a cable pulled from the top floor (where my fiber enters the house) to the bottom floor where my office is.

I’ve played realtime games over it, and haven’t had too much issues, so I guess it’s working well enough for my use case.

It’s possible the actual speed is higher though, and the occasional bursts of nothing are still there (the link to my home is 2Gbit).
Video compression is typically not about "take each frame, and make it as small as possible". Video compression revolves around cleverly making use of deltas and segmenting the image so that you can reuse as much data as possible from previous frames/keyframes.
Conservatives don't generally project their worldview through the lens of large social groups pitted against each other, so it's kind of meaningless to argue about whether conservatives are pro- or anti- working class. They aren't generally pro- or anti- any "class" from their own perspective, because they don't think dividing society up like that is a legitimate thing to do to begin with.

A typical conservative would say something like: what do you call the boss of a small window cleaning firm? Is he a capitalist or a member of the working class? The left generally ignore questions like this because they can't answer them. But they do spend lots of time trying to tell everyone that society is simple and "conservatives" are one big blob that all hate "workers".

Generally conservatives are anti-union, because historically unions have been very tied up with communism, very aggressive/violent and very anti-competitive, all of which are antithetical to what libertarian conservatives believe yield the most socially beneficial outcomes. That is, they're anti union because they think unions are in fact worse for the "working classes" - to the extent such a concept makes sense at all - than not having them.
E-ink is not the answer to sunlight yet. You want a reflective LCD. There were nice monochrome ones ages ago but no one wants that any more. There were some color ones called Pixel Qi that got a little but of traction and maybe are still around, but have stayed pretty obscure. Anyway that's what I'd check.
> Also, NaR compares equal to itself, fixing one of the biggest bugs in floating point.

Wait, so with posits, sqrt(-7) == sqrt(-4)? And 1e42^42 == 0.0/0.0? And this is supposed to be a good thing?

The semantics around NaN, +/- 0/Inf are really important. I feel like most of the proponents of posits don't understand why it's so vitally important that these constructs operate the way that they do. Maybe there are some useful things to be learned from posits, but it's difficult to take posits seriously when two values can compare equal when they are quite obviously not.
Streaks. I use a really good habit tracking app (not going to steal poster's thunder here again) which is based on streaks. Has helped me at least maintain and build habits due to the loss aversion of some arbitrary streaks!
I'm no expert on this but I assume because it would be all keyframes? I.e. the format doesn't support encoding transitions from frame to frame. But I guess decent video support could be possible if you define video as pixel perfect animation, i.e. Animated GIF. These would of course not compete with traditional video.
I didn't read the spec, but I assume that if a single-picture format doesn't have the concept of making use of reference pictures (so previous or future frames), it's leaving _a lot_ of compression potential on the table.

You can of course just have a sequence of individually compressed frames, just as you can do with PNG, TARGA, or JPEG, but these are not usually the ways you would want to distribute the video due to the huge sizes.
Official propaganda by news networks is called information, and everything that derives from it is called disinformation, malinformation or conspiracy theories, no matter the validity of the points raised.

Its pure information control by using etiquettes to discredit everything else.
On a tangent, is there a source for the qoi-specification.pdf? I like the format.
Check out a history book about the lead up to 1939 (including an afterword why Russia doesn’t think 1939 is a special).
I doubt this is the real reason of the cancellation, although it's probably something equally ridiculous, and it's good we keep giving spotlights to the youtube abuses.
You are saying that people who learned Rust in class have an easier time, later, using C++ than people who learned C++ in class?

That is absurd, unless in fact you are teaching C++ so badly that they first need to unlearn more than somebody with no experience with it needs to learn starting from zero.
It is most likely because the AI mis-captioned your accent and heard something you are not allowed to say. No way it is because Google sees Nextcloud uprising as a threat to Google Drive as it is suggested in the post.
From the Rationale section:

This license has proven useful for code that is intended for developers to use as reference, teaching samples, examples, or templates that other developers may modify for their own purposes.

I don't think teaching proper care and attention of licensing is incompatible with wanting to release teaching materials under a licence that does not require attribution.
How much of it is about past lies and injustices though? Are UFOs emblematic of real world suffering? Is there a long list of elections rigged in the US? Are WASPs actually the most victimised social class in the US? The grievances often take weird directions precisely because people's existence is comfortable enough for them to have to manufacture them, or latch onto the grievances of figures they feel affinity with. Superficially, theories of aliens at Roswell pattern match onto real world issues with military secrecy, but that's because of how humans tell stories more than because military secrecy disproportionately hurt people who watched a lot of alien movies.

Telling people they're privileged when they feel pretty ordinary or calling them stupid when they're literally just asking questions doesn't help matters, but neither does telling them that yes, actually they really are victims of X on a significant scale but it's not quite like the only people talking about a massive problem with X say it is...

And whether the underlying grievances are real or not, the trouble with "Qanon makes a very good point but..." is that not only does it not seem to win many true believers over, but it also seems to encourage lots of people that happen to have legitimate grievances (or feel like they should have some) but haven't paid the strange sounding theories the slightest attention before. Why would you trust the people admitting "yeah actually, we do lie all the time" over the people who have absolute conviction in their outlandish theories? Sometimes you have to keep the best interests of the nonbelievers in mind too.

2D image compression is missing a dimension. Much of the savings to be had in a video compression algorithm are going to be based upon the similarity between frames (ie. across time) rather than within a given frame. Therefore, an algorithm that is designed only for the 2D image is not going to deliver the goods when applied to video. An example would be animated GIF. It's terrible.
I appreciated the link to Umberto Eco's essay on Ur-Fascism. Point 8 on the fascists is topical:

8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

Conspiracy theory is similar on how we're debugging until we find out the root cause. It's the nessessary skill every developer needs to actually learn how to debug software.
The withdrawal symptoms are nothing compared to opiates.
IMHO: Workflow, Text input fields and File formats are like APIs; if there is a way to abuse, hidden or public, then someone will use that in their process (https://xkcd.com/1172/). So adhering to Org mode in your own parser will mean a lot of work anyway. There will always be some subtle point that make your format incompatible with a tool you want to use.
NP/PA education is far less rigorous And requires far less hours than MD. Many more NP/PA schools have far more lax standards, and are probably better called diploma mills than MD schools.

It is all probabilities, and I would rather bet on an MD. At least compared to the current incarnation of NP/PA.
