VideoMentions is addressing the need-gap: 'Searching YouTube videos with transcript'[1] posted on my problem validation forum.

I appreciate that rather than just building a browser add-on to search individual video, You've built a business use case for brand monitoring. I hope you get profitable enough to afford the compute necessary to monitor top channels without having to explicitly mention them.

You're welcomed to explain how it addresses that problem at needgap, So those who need it can find it easily.

He said he feels sad, not that it was unfair. Sad that, for reasons Will makes very clear, he could not forgive.
Eh. Plenty of enterprise deals require services for implementation. None of this is shady. It’s incredibly common for sites to not have pricing. I wouldn’t chalk any of these up to Bolt being a mess. Their numbers and their founder does that for them already.
drew articulated it very well why google's offer doesn't help at all.

A full git clone just to DDOS a hoster to check if the user-experience is still first-class, and filling a proxy is not an acceptable solution for a module hoster who has the pay the hosting bills by himself.

If they want to know if their proxy is still uptodate, a cheap latest change request 8x/hour would be appropriate.

> Have you considered the robots.txt approach, which would simply allow the sysadmin to tune the rate at which you will scrape their service? The best option puts the controls in the hands of the sysadmins you're affecting. This is what the rest of the internet does.

> Also, this probably isn't what you want to hear, but maybe the proxy is a bad idea in the first place. For my part, I use GOPROXY=direct for privacy/cache-breaking reasons, and I have found that many Go projects actually have broken dependencies that are only held up because they're in the Go proxy cache — which is an accident waiting to happen. Privacy concerns, engineering problems like this, and DDoSing hosting providers, this doesn't looks like the best rep sheet for GOPROXY in general.
This is neat. I like how you explain here how you did it.

One suggestion, right now there is no connection for people browsing to the flight numbers and letters. We just know a flight has been diverted. I suggest adding an extra data point about # of people diverted. Not sure what is available, so maybe how many people on board isn't, but based on plane type, you could probably add "up to X amount of people on board". Now one is like "wow 150 people landing at an airport they were not scheduled to!" Make it more human and compelling.

Also there are more flights diverted in a day than I would have thought!
Speaking of rights, what happened to "well regulated"? There seems a lot of interest in "Shall not be", but far less the further into the paragraph you go.
a lot of popular and semi-popular startups are hard for some VCs to invest in. So some of them like ESO fund (https://www.esofund.com) will give you money to exercise and pay taxes but on condition that they'll take a decent amount of profits when you sell the stock
>But, if you are looking at it from a preventative stand point, it's a completely different equation. These aren't going to be legally obtained, randomized violence, caused by mental illness. These are generally crimes of poverty, means and lack of opportunity.

So someone is killing people because he is poor and needs money? Why doesn't he work instead?
I am actually excited when seeing a historical movie without epic exaggeration. Recently this TV series was my favorite: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10405220/

It presents a primitive material reality, but also the culture and supernatural beliefs.

It doesn't have to be without monsters, it just have to portray them according to beliefs of people of that time, and not according to our modern interpretation, or modern appeal. It could be an opportunity to also document ancient societies, culture, mythical beliefs too.

An addition. Also make a survival mode, where you are not just sightseeing safely, but also have to survive whatever is happening.
What is not obvious is why anyone would think using ternaries would be a "natural" way of writing branchless code.
> Public companies can't do stuff just for the fun of it, right? So there must be some commercial reasoning behind it?

Yes they can actually.

If you are a shareholder you can either sue (unlikely to succeed) or vote against the board. That's pretty much the only recourse.
i series is identical at the CMOS level to p series, and was already around 1990 when those were called OS/400 and RS/6000, resp. Dunno about System/360 times. Ofc DB/2 and RPG aren't exactly made for general-purpose computing ;) but there's something called ILE for C/C++ programming on i series (and z series) I believe.
> All the really bad security vulnerabilities were obvious.

All the really bad security vulnerabilities that were found were obvious?

One is more likely to find things that are obvious?
Only if the fiber provider is in the same area doing a build to serve at minimum a few hundred other homes at roughly the same time. Some people who live in rural areas where they would need a 60-80 ft tower for wisp cpe or starlink may be in a place so far from existing ISP fiber that a new build purely aerial fiber construction project could run $300,000.
Because felony murder is an outrageous US-specific injustice. The fact that you're guilty of murder in the US if you rob a store and the store owner shoots your friend defies common sense!

Because I know it matters to some people: this rule is used mostly against young black men.
> we (americans) all believe our 2 hours of work is equivalent to their 8 hours of work.

Well, if OP is correct, then there are two options here.

a. Since they're only working 2 hours but billing 8, your 2 hours of work is actually equivalent to their 4 days.

b. They aren't taking 3 extra days, your 2 hours is equivalent to their 2 hours, and they're billing you for 8 as a lesson in humility.

:)
> which creates strawmen I never said.

Yes you did, and you even repeat it in your reply.

> You’re welcome not to own a gun if you feel like that would be a better choice for you and/or your family. Nobody is making you.

Yes, they are pretty much making you in parts of the US, because things are so bad.

> What I’m saying is that you don’t have a right to take guns away from other people because you find them scary.

Not just because "I find them scary", but because they are literally dangerous. They are made to kill. That's their only purpose.

And yes, you absolutely have the right to take them away from people - just like you have the right to declare certain substances illegal to sell, consume or own, and limit people's freedom in a dozen other ways for the sake of society's well being as a whole.

> even if that is occasionally abused, leading to tragedy.

So where's the straw man again?

> People have a right to defend themselves.

And we arrived at the knee jerk reaction. Taking the arms race as a given. Don't even question why things are that fucked up in the first place. Might have to fear for my life any time of the day, so better have a semi-automatic rifle at hand. It's just so very sad.

> Over 100,000,000 people died to democide in the past century

In the US? Or Europe? Or might it have been in some really unstable chaotic parts of the world? Why you would even want to compare this to a civilized first world country is beyond me. A more reasonable approach would be comparisons with countries that are socially and structurally similar to the US but have different gun control laws, but that comparison wouldn't really fly with your views I guess.

> I’m sorry that the world isn’t as friendly and happy as you would prefer it — I find that disquieting too.

It doesn't seem you want it to be.

So for some kids it might be ok to drink and smoke? Presumably a letter of parents' consent to take to the shop would also be too much restriction?
> Sample x and y coordinates from a standard normal distribution. Then project the result on the circle, by normalising the distance.

I wonder if that's uniform...

I expect that you would have more points mapped to the corners.
And the conclusion was to remove the block they had previously put there.
Mental illness surely is a factor, but I don't think it's what pushes people over the edge.

Remembering my teenage years, the times I acted badly were because of anger. Extreme frustration towards a society or people who I felt treated me unfairly.

The hardest to deal with was (perceived) hypocrisy from people who were in a position of power.

Looking at US media, politics and justice is infuriating as an outsider. Everything that's done under guise of "freedom" and "democracy". All the "morality" work from people who by their own standard would go straight to hell. Zero accountability for anything.

Trickling down might not work for money, it surely does for the poison that this system produces. At least in openly totalitarian countries, people get a chance to see their government for what it is.
"Non-scalable" is a rather medium excuse though. There's quite a few ways around this:

1. Raise prices enough to employ enough humans. I imagine there's quite a few people out there who'd be happy to spend a pint's price on a quality gaming experience.

2. Give the GM better tools. Higher level half-scripted events + better sentiment monitoring. I imagine a single competent GM can run in parallel a bunch of events keeping quite a few players engaged.

3. Recruit experienced players to do this job for you. I imagine there's quite a few people who'd do this job for in-game goods, as long as an hour of GM-ing gives a couple hours worth of grind of goods.
Perhaps this is approximately true if you focus exclusively on mass shootings at schools. But shootings overall are one of the leading causes of deaths for children in the US.

See for instance the CDC's visualizations on causes of death per age group [1]. In 2020, 476 children aged 10-14 died in traffic accidents involving motor vehicles. 218 children aged 10-14 were killed in homicides by firearms.

Those two numbers are very much in the same order of magnitude. This is also the case in prior, non-Covid years.

What if they're traveling across the country for top-shelf training? I thought we wanted well trained gun owners?
I do not think this is an argument you want to make. Following this logic to it's ultimate conclusion is that we should just ban black people in the United States from owning guns, and I suspect neither you nor I want to do something so racist.

"Anglo" culture can support it just fine. The U.K. actually had lower violent crime rates before they banned guns. The fact that they felt the need to ban knives in London has very little to do with "Anglo" behavior.

Likewise, most places in the U.S.have rates of gun violence comparable to Belgium or Switzerland.

> When the addictive factor is deliberately manufactured into a product (AKA engagement)

So, every product from every company ever. That's the goal of marketing, after all. Why not extend this law for everyone? Why can't I sue Lego because my son keeps insisting I buy them, or why can't I sue Budweiser because I keep finding myself buying their booze?

It's an unfairly targeted law to win easy political points, because everyone hates big social right now, but everyone loves Lego.
Nothing, windows 11 is the beginning of trusted computing and the end of local applications that are text based binaries, they are building denuvo levels of drm into the os and hardware in future intel/amd cpu's and plugging the "digital hole" (i/o) to finally kill piracy, they are turning the PC into an iphone.

They are changing the executbale model to signed binaries and soon there will be no "Good old games". The idea that any software is "incompatible" is nonsense.

The "security features" are actually just content protection drm tech Netflix/google and game industry like sony has been working on.

It won't matter if you can copy files infinitely if they are signed and encrypted by an OS and CPU that won't execute the bits.

So no, windows 11 is the end of the PC as an open platform.

See here:

From 20 year ago, they've been working with hardware vendors to tpm the shit out of all the components for shit like this:

So thats why windows 10+ will be shit, and you no longer own your pc.
What sort of dev forums? I'm woefully underconnected to local discourse...
I don't think Will's experience supports that. It's not that he gave some consent that, looking back on it, wasn't valid. Instead, he repeatedly and explicitly did not consent, and was ignored.
>Twitter must provide multi-factor authentication options that don’t require people to provide a phone number."

Hmm. That might be difficult. I always thought the reason Twitter required phone numbers was to stop spam accounts from being created. So a phone number is basically acting like an expensive captcha. This order seems to be saying Twitter needs to stop requiring phone numbers. That might lead to an increase in spam accounts.
Thanks for the review. Agree with most of your points here, briefly:

iPhone app is just capture right now, intended for "I just had this thought that I need to muse on later." We don't market it much because it's so limited. Future version will build on the sync infrastructure to offer better capture and ability to look up stuff on your boards.

Board rename on Mac is a quick fix we squeezed in before launch. Will make that nicer soon.

Anchoring boards to the top left explained a bit here: https://museapp.com/memos/2021-03-flex-boards/ -- but has the tradeoffs you mention if you want extra space in the left and top.

OneNote is pretty great actually, ahead of its time. It does still have the "big list of documents" element and in general has the Microsoft level of design polish, which is to say, not much. So certainly our target market with Muse is folks that prefer something better-crafted and from a small/indie team. But that only emphasizes the importance of those fit-and-finish bits you mentioned. Now that our sync engine is finally out in the world we can spend time iterating on that.

Yes, we do need some way to link/embed/transclude documents between applications. OLE was one failed attempt, OpenDoc is another (in)famous example. This is something we're researching at Ink & Switch, but will be hard to innovate here without OS-level support.

Anyhow thanks for taking the time to kick the tires. I will happily take "Muse is awesome but could be more awesome" as validation of the work we've done so far, and motivation to keep improving.
Manipulating Machine-Learning Systems Through the Order of the Training Data
You cant remove gangs, because half of what is called gang is a bunch of young guys living in low socioeconomic area. When then hang around together and some of them is suspect of crime, they are fairly often classified as gang. It does not take much to be classified as gang. And then, any shooting involving them is gang shooting. Similar with drug related shooting, if one of them shoots because he is jealous of girlfriend and there are drugs in his pocket, it is drug related shooting.

Gang membership as traced by law enforcement is not something super formal.
Sorry for that, I also commented on your initial reply to point out my edit. I agree with you about chores. There seem to be cultures who have it easier in that regard (kids derive purpose from doing chores), but those cultures have a totally different day to day life.
the problem is easy access to guns. sure you can dance around the issue with mental health and gun ownership, but simply the high volume of guns means getting one is pretty damn easy for most people even without a license
When a team is so focused on the todo list they sometimes forget the obvious mistakes they still needed to fix.
My parents were similar (I played trombone, though I was terrible at it. Or I felt I was anyway).

One interesting thing, is the thing I am best at, I had to sneak and scrape and fight tooth and nail to do, which was learn to program on our PC: the thing that is my life and career now two decades on.

I've been programming my whole life, but all throughout my childhood my parents hated the idea of me spending my time on the computer tapping away at GameMaker v4 and work through QBasic and the C++ book a family friend gave me (I think I was using the Digital Mars compiler at the time?).
That's something me and my wife struggle with now that we have a child. We both wish we had been pushed more when it comes to music lessons. So, we think we will try to get him to learn piano or an other instrument (except violin). However, we will most likely put a time limit, if after 3 years he still doesn't really like it, he can give it up.

The idea, is that I think that for certain things like music, it only really become enjoyable once one has developed a certain amount of competence. So 3 years mean having enough basics so that our son can decide if he likes it or not.

Every time windows comes out people say that. It’s hilarious. Why are you using windows 10? Why does 11 make a difference?

If you think change in tools is bad, I’d agree, I like consistency. Linux doesn’t offer that though - vim upgraded from 7 to 8 a few years back and caused major changes to various defaults. Rxvt recent changed and sucked tons if time trying to fix paste (they put some ridiculous “security” thing so if I pasted a line from another terminal I had to then press “yes” to accept the paste.

Developers are never “done”, they fiddle, they make changes, and they set those new changes as default because they consider it better.

Personally I like the fact my screwdriver or saw or hammer works the same way as it always has, I don’t like to think about tools, I learn how to use it, and then I can concentrate on other things. Developers break that.

How low can you go? The golden rule of kakonomics (2013)
this post is garbage. This author clearly has some bias in his articles. Haiti and DR were one country at one point, the French debt forced Haitians to tax Dominicans to help pay off the money. Dominicans ended up fighting a war to separate which resulted in even more money lost. Secondly, the West completely shunned Haiti which is why France was even able to get away with the debt. US didn't want to trade with a country that eliminated slavery and other western countries felt the same. Lastly in regards to America's involvement. Who tf do you think was bankrolling dictator, Duvalier? Oh, that's right, the US. Take a look at Haiti early to mid 1900s to now. There is a stark contrast. The country itself may have not been extremely wealthy, but the image of being the poorest country in the Americas, complete collapse infrastructure destroyed what should have been a thriving tourist industry like other parts of the Caribbean. Instead the primary tourist destination of Haiti is leased by an American corporation
Two reasons:
1) Even though it's all technically very impressive, so far there's not a huge amount of commercialization potential here. OpenAI is charging for its GPT-3 model but its revenue is probably negligible next to the hardware costs (sunk + ongoing) to train it in the first place, let alone the researcher salaries they're paying
2) Most of the stunning examples are cherry-picked. These things fail much more often than they are willing to admit, and they're probably assuming (correctly) that not enough people are willing to pay for something that only-sorta-kinda-works 1/3 of the time, when you're holding it the right way.
Yes, we're curious to see how pure desktop usage evolves. A big part of the whole "thinking workspace" concept is the more relaxed posture of tablet use, the ability to scribble on things, etc.

That said, I've used Muse for Mac heavily for the past six months and find it's strongest when I am doing more text-oriented work. I'll also be curious to see how people use in practice and whether the value prop is really all your devices used in tandem (desktop, tablet, phone) or whether there are strong uses cases for just one at a time.
Because a criminal will just get illegal attachments or larger magazines anyways. I haven’t looked, but I’d imagine it’s pretty easy to find some online from overseas. Or criminals can steal them from legitimate places.
You have probably been tagged quite a few times in other people’s photos. Totally creepy, yes, but unavoidable.
The way I handle this with my kids is that if they don't feel like going to some activity at some point I will try to give a bit of a push (sometimes it's more about leaving the current activity then going to the next). However, I make very sure they enjoy the activities. If my daughter say they want to stop generally we will stop immediately. I am quite lucky though, if anything they need to be held back a bit, my older sometimes complains that there are not enough days in the week because wants to try something more.
There are still some stores that sell these "floppy disk notchers" [1] if you're feeling really nostalgic for authentic vintage units, and occasionally they'll pop up on the usual auction sites. Or you can 3D print yourself one these days [2]. I was too poor to get a real notcher, so made do with an X-acto knife and a cardboard template I would create over and over. By the time I could afford a notcher, the muscle memory was etched into my fingers and hands, and I never bothered to get one.

Around here, working multiple contracts is effectively prevented by clients sprinkling meetings all over the workday. Attending all of those for multiple clients AND getting your actual work done would be quite impossible.

Also, thank you for this. Now I know why out-of-country contractors have such a variable rate of output.

Imagine an /s here if you feel it's appropriate, I can't decide.
> Interesting. When compared to places like Australia, where guns are highly regulated and barely anyone owns a gun, such that there have been no mass shootings for 35 years, the solution really is obvious.

Is it that simple? The is little correlation between stricter gun laws and fewer number of dead people: https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/27-years-recorded-crime-vict...

That same link shows a slight negative correlation between stricter gun laws and sexual assault.

Looking at the numbers it's really hard to call any solution "obvious".
did you record them?
I don’t know which country you are talking about but I haven’t heard about prison sentences for not respecting lockdowns, only fines. At least in the EU.

And while those laws were pretty stupidly implemented they were just the outcome of improvisation from unprepared governments, not some totalitarian vision. Even citizens from countries with a strong culture of disobedience understood that.
