Interesting. Might have been just lucky.
We are eager to announce to the HN community the public release of "WowTo" - software for creating How-To videos.

Pain point:
Creating How-To videos which can be tutorials, guides, step-by-step walkthroughs or video slideshows are difficult to create with current video editors in the market. Because they target a wide base so either they lack certain much needed features for creating How-tos or becomes complex to edit the video with their timelines.

Solution:
This presented us an opportunity, to address this problem with WowTo. It has a video editor that is specially created for making HowTo videos. Infact our first beta testers are elementary children who were comfortable using our product without any assistance or documentation.

Here is a list of features that makes WowTo - Wow!:
WowTo makes it easy to create howto videos with its natural AI voiceover feature, intuitive editor and multi-lingual support.

* No technical or creative knowledge required for creating videos.

* Select from 300+ AI voices with different languages

* Update videos for voice or content in just a snap

* With WowTo, let viewers listen in their native language instead of subtitles

You can also create HowTo videos from a variety of sources:

* Turn PDF document to a HowTo video

* Make a HowTo video from powerpoint in a single click and let your presentation do all the talking

* Use our Chrome extension to capture workflow steps as a HowTo video

* Have a screen-recording? Simply import it into WowTo and magically convert your voice to script

Sometimes the aid needed is a place. I have no idea what you mean by obligation or what axioms you base that conclusion on but it seems somewhere in all of that we disagree. I think we should provide people a place if they need it when we can afford to. I think, for one, it's cruel not to do so, but secondly it's good to promote a norm of doing so. We may be in need of a place some day (think war, climate change, economic crisis, etc.) We can't do more than we can do but I think we should do what we can to help.
Those are also CPUs were multiplication is most likely to be significantly more expensive, or not implemented in hardware at all (though almost everything has a multiplier these days).

I mean, IPMI is nice, and I'd love to have it, but a thrift store monitor ($20-$50?) and a $10 keyboard is an acceptable emergency console as long as you've got space to put it near the server. And you save money on every build. Now, if someone would make an IPMI add-in card or cheap IPMI boards, I would probably do that. I'm also going to take a look at the vPro stuff mentioned elsewhere in the thread (and I think AMD has something similar)... that might work enough and may be available on inexpensive parts??

ARK is still earning fees, and a -50% drawdown in a highly volatile thematic fund isn't that bad. Comparing her to investors who lost everything they had because of leverage? Yeah, she's definitely not falling.

You could possibly argue that ARK investors have fallen, but even that is a question semantics and of what the future holds for innovation. She has a broad set of funds in the growth space. Perhaps a bit US-centric, but that's easily known before buying. Are we really seeing a future where those companies won't be bid back up?
Careful, or you'll be told that you should start thinking about 'fleet logic'.

Better oven ergonomics leads to less cooking fatigue, which leads to less accidents and therefore less downtime. Sometimes it actually pays off to have a higher maintenance workload, especially since most of it is planned downtime, or features that don't have fixed urgently. And sometimes this idea of radical simplicity only shifts maintenance workload from one component to another. One example that gets a lot of pushback in US cooking is gas connections.

I keep most IoT things on a tight leash.

I have a couple of IoT VLANs that devices gets sorted into by my level of percieved trust. Things like AppleTV and Sonos goes into the trusted one, things like Printers, various chinese IoT like Aquara sensors, Eufy cameras and more are put into the untrusted one. Trusted devices have static DHCP assigned IPs, as well as printers (for AirPrint and mDNS)

Everything in the untrusted VLAN is blocked by MAC address in the firewall in the outbound direction.

I keep a (surprisingly small) spreadsheet of all my firewall rules, so migrating to a new firewall is a matter of spending 30 minutes setting up the 50 or so lines from the spreadsheet, of which most are rules for allowing inter VLAN traffic, i.e. allow AirPlay reverse connections from AirPlay capabale devices.

I should add that i run Eufy cameras in Homekit mode, so they only need access to talk to a HomeKit bridge/hub (AppleTV/HomePod), and only need internet access for firmware updates.

You realize that inflation hit corporate profits too?

If a company has a profit of $10M and inflation is 10%, then the following year a profit of $11M is a "real profit" of $0.
That isn't working fine. Any properly working economy is able to represent negative yields and thereby solve the wealth accumulation and unemployment problem.

The idea that your wealth ought to grow exponentially regardless of whether the economy itself is growing and how much you contributed to the economy is ridiculous. What did people expect from this arrangement other than accumulation of wealth at the top?

By the way, the economy won't work, it will collapse at some point, because 3% growth over two thousand years would imply colonizing entire galaxies. People think they have a birthright to eternal 3% growth without even being aware of what it means to grow exponentially for that long.
Our people are doing pretty well here in northern Europe. We've taken good care of them and of course we can always do better and I'm sure we will do so in the future. In the meantime, I think we should also help other people when we can afford to do so. I think it's cruel not to do so and I think it's in everyone's self-interest to promote the helping of others when we can afford to do so because we may some day need such help (because of war, plague, famine, climate change, economic crises, etc.) Promotion of such a norm is insurance.

It could do. And a greed narrative gives (poor) cover for price hikes driven by any number of other things. Just stating these things does not help us get an understanding though. I want to know what changed.

I'd be more inclined to believe the disruption from production to supply chains to storage and demand, migration, etc due to covid regulations (not just the Chinese lockdowns) to have had the major impact. But it could also be for example energy costs due to expensive green regulations, or cartel behavior from energy producers because energy prices have been a major leader in price increases and those affect virtually everything else. Just saying "greed" doesn't help understand anything. People are greedy, we already knew that. Aristotle knew that.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, etc. In light of these posts, which clearly do not match what GP is claiming, I'm going to conclude that either side could be right, I just don't have enough information.

Agreed.

What's worrying though is the amount of water wasted in the delivery network. Really annoying when people trying to save a litre here or there and then millions are just going straight in to the ground.

Has anyone worked on fighting back this kind of telemetry/spyware of essential consumer appliances?

I'm thinking something similar to what https://adnauseam.io/ does, but but amplified:

1. Someone reverse engineer what does the device send to which address.
2. Block the particular device to access internet (and make it easy for others too).
3. Constantly send bogus data to the manufacturer so the personal data they get overall loses value or is unusable. Make it easy for a lot of people to do it as well, or even just rent a bot farm.

There's too many legit and good services that end up being turned down due to abuse and DDos, and they don't even bring anything good to the attackers. Why not using these techniques for something actually good to consumers privacy?

high prices are the cure for high prices.

in a sense this is a good thing if it halts the consumer in its track.

the more consumer weakness the sooner we can get rid of inflation and get back on a sustainable growth trajectory.

if instead demand was still booming i think the fed would have to raise rates even more aggressively and cause a more serious recession

the only downside is if it just causes them to spend the money they would’ve spent on gas elsewhere

Have to agree an asset is not a currency, in some case one can consider labor an assets and by extension an asset that can produce value. Labor might be unique in that regard but property seems to be similar you can derive value from nothing by putting property to use and since you can always change what the property produces. However, without any property, you physically cannot produce anything.

But as long as you have your consumption under control, you are your own water company and you may choose not to bother with appliances that focus on water efficiency.
Interesting product. It's not targeted at me specifically, but I could see it getting a lot of adoption. If this also had a programmatic API for video generation I would have some personal use cases for it!

There are several issues with that. The largest one is that you assert that the costs can only inflate. They cannot.

TL;DR – Yes, but the added value gets smaller each recursion, such that even if you add on an infinite amount of these costs it will only come out to a finite value. The productivity of a single person, which in today's industrial world is immense, makes these costs so small they might as well be cents on the final product.

Let's say a farmer farms a square field with 100 metre sides, or exactly 1 ha of land. This is a size which it is perfectly reasonable for one person to farm, even entirely by hand, and which is woefully small considering modern farming equipment. On it they grow wheat, with a production of 0.25 kg/m² annually, or 2 500 kg when you do the calculation. This is a perfectly reasonable yield. Taking into account milling yield, we end up with only about 70% of that, or 1 750 kg of flour. A loaf takes roughly half a kilo of flour so, assuming water and yeast are effectively free, so selling this to a baker, they produce 3 500 loaves in the end.

So far, so easy. Then we take into account the losses that are going to be accrued for the loaf of a single customer in this very small thought experiment economy, in which exist only the farmer and the baker. Each, we say, might eat 2 entire half-kilogram loaves in a week, so 8 in a month and 96 in a year. The baker prices one loaf at (flour cost + 96·loaf cost)/3 500. The farmer prices his flour at 96·loaf cost/1 750 kg, but as the farmer buys everything, we can ignore the division. The price of one loaf is now (96·loaf cost + 96·loaf cost)/3 500, or 192·loaf cost/3500, or, rounding a bit, 0.05·loaf cost. Propagating it down, we have 0.05²·loaf cost, then 0.05³·loaf cost, and when you recurse to infinity, we have 0. The further you get from the producer, the smaller the added cost becomes in reality, such that even if you add up all the costs you eventually reach not an infinite value but a finite one.

If we say that each take a profit of $100 annually in addition to what they need to live, we get that the farmer prices their flour at ($100 + 96·loaf cost)/1 750 kg and the baker their bread at ($200 + 192·loaf cost)/3 500. Propagating it down, the price becomes ($200 + 192·($0.06 + 0.05·loaf cost))/3500 = ($210 + 0.05·loaf cost)/3 500. Going further, it will be ($210 + 0.05·($0.06 + 1.4·10⁻⁵·loaf cost))/3 500 where we entirely lose precision and the added cost from profits appears to stay at $210/3 500, while the rest of the calculation becomes so small it disappears off to 0 at infinity once again.

While this example is only very simple, and I won't prove here that it applies in larger or more complex cycles, it is nevertheless fairly obvious that this disappearing off applies to everything. Whereas your recursive argument about costs only being able to inflate is correct, they can only inflate up to a finite value at the limit due to the inflation added at each level of recursion being smaller than the last.

How do these no code tools solve migrating data / db migrations?

I suppose nosql for db migrations makes things a lot easier.
One weak point I see - this tool only measures how much an individual input token would be changed to decrease the loss. The reason a token might have large gradients might be related to how many times it appears in the training set and how consistent is the training set with the evaluation set, not just how much the prediction disagrees with the target label.

So it jointly measures data coverage, consistency and data to target fit. Just my intuition, might be wrong.
It's generally going to be easier to disable the signal circuits on the appliances than to jam them. Either wrap them in foil, disconnect the circuits, or wait for some brave soul to figure out what to break for it to stop working.

That being said, jamming is relatively easy, just saturate the channel you want to jam with noise. That will also probably kill your cellular connection though.
Embedding subtitles directly into the video stream is a bit more complicated. Interestingly a lot of video creation platforms don't support that as a feature even though it's useful in some cases (E.G. videos on instagram/tiktok/etc.) I actually had to write my own service on top of ffmpeg to do this shrug
> This isn't the media's job. Their recommendation is to talk with your doctor. This is realistically the only safe suggestion since all of the alternatives are bad.

I wish people would lay this blanket advice to rest, unless they are doctors themselves and can give relevant advice immediately. I live in Germany, a country that everyone praises for its healtcare system and it is incredibly hard to get a doctor's appointment here that is not months down the road. Sure there are emergency options, like the hospitals that you mention, but imagine what happens if millions of deperate people try to tap into the strategic formula reserves of hospitals...

During a catastrophic event, I absolutely expect the media to spread ideas for creative solutions. You can always say that talking to an expert is the best option, but what is plan B if plan A is no realistic option?
