>because I don't own a new car and don't feel the pain of things like replacing a broken windshield

I’m having my Land Rovers windshield (with heated filaments and collision avoidance) replaced in a week. It’s a $50 deductible and they said a $50 calibration charge, but that wasn’t on the final bill. Given that these windshields are $500-$1500, I’m pretty happy with the cost.

Ask HN: Any tools to search video based on audio?
Hello,

I am wondering if there is any tool (good to have opensource) which lets you search an audio+video file based on the audio. Basically enter a search string containing text and the result is the video player showing the video frame containing the audio in which this text exist
Zero explanation appears to be the popular policy with all of our social media overlords.
Let's have some fun with this. So maybe I am near a hospital, or an elementary school, whatever. I have a nice plot of land. You think people will be okay with me storing nuclear waste for a fee on that land?

Maybe I am next to your house. I want to have a hog farm or a 24/7 very loud factory.
It might be premature, but it seems like the cat is out the bag, especially if it means lower operating costs for businesses. Everything in the near future points to cash-flow positive businesses being the Wall Street darlings. Being unprofitable is no longer in vogue, which is a pretty seismic shift for the bay. If you don't need the office space, you're going to get undercut by your competitor who goes without. Besides staffing costs (which also go down when you hire technologists from outside of Bay Area), your second biggest software company cost is going to be office space.

I’ll take an office job when by travel time is taken off my work week/fully paid (including car/bus/w/e costs). But that job would also have to have affordable and desirable housing commensurate with the compensation.

What we’re actually going to see is a division better highly skilled people going to companies that understand what humans need and lesser skilled or otherwise problematic employees settling for the less desirable jobs with backwards looking management and worse total compensation packages/work life balances. These regressive companies will slowly implode due to cancerous cultural issues that will blossom wonderfully when toxicity is given the fertile ground of desperate and problematic staff coerced into interacting in bullshit jobs.
While quantum indeterminacy is fairly offensive to most of our experience, and creating a theory which doesn’t have it is definitely possible, the result is a theory with some equally (or perhaps more so) offensive ramifications. Assuming you accomplish this with hidden variables, this theory would by necessity have to have global hidden variables and instantaneous information transfer.

I don’t know if this actually impacts this broader discussion, and of course we can always discover new science, but there is a reason quantum indeterminacy is so widely accepted despite the near universal distaste for its existence.
Panic didn’t say they did.
> guess we'll do nothing" means they [Democrats] probably deserved it

To use an Americanism, “all y’all” don’t deserve it, but you’re the ones who will suffer while the people you elect will, by and large, float on.

Personally, I think most Americans are generally good people who’d just like to get along, having adequate empathy to support basic human rights and basic social welfare systems. If more voted, everyone would be better off. Mind, getting more people involved in primaries is probably necessary, because the parties as-is are not representative of the people: they’re representative of decades old internal power struggles. All y’all need new, fresh representatives.

Consciousness is the result of billions of years of random chance in the form of evolution. We can simulate a nuclear reaction, but our minds can't even conceive of the time scale of a billion years or any of the associated concepts.

"We can do one complicated thing, therefore we can do anything" is a shaky basis for beliefs. It's possible that multiplying matrices can replicate a couple of billion years worth of dice rolls. but I doubt it
Note that rulex replaces the named backreference with a numeric one. Named backreferences are much easier to work with, because you don't have to count capturing groups, which is error-prone and complicates later modifications.

An more accurate translation of the above into a (PCRE) regex would be

(\s)(?P<named>.)\k<named>

However, named backreferences aren't supported in JavaScript. Rulex makes sure that the emitted regex is correct and supported by the target regex flavor.
It'll generally work for a few metres with Cat5e, but I think it's always been too problematic to be officially supported. Though looking around it seems some manufacturers do say it'll work?

It works fine over Cat6 yeah, but if you've not got that deployed then 2.5Gb or 5Gb is a good step up from 1Gb.
Yes that's the idea? They get to live out the rest of their years, and then their heirs pay the deferred taxes, selling the house if needed.
I drove a rented Nissan Murano and I found the lane keeping and adaptive cruise control to be excellent. If the auto supply was in better shape, I’d have seriously considered buying one.
Possibly, but I imagine they could get by with less square footage, and in a less expensive space, so rent would be substantially less. But, yeah, oven and other cooking apparatus is probably the same regardless of scale (up to whatever size starts requiring duplicates).

And from a societal perspective, saving on commute time/expenses but with $15 bagels is still better than wasting 2+ hours/day, additional car expensises, and only a $7 bagel.
850,000 living there against their will, I presume? What is it about the city that makes people froth at the mouth? The ridiculous characterizations I read don't match what I see day-to-day at all

> The fact that you can tag some part of the code as [unsafe] does not make the rest of the program better of "safe", this is magical thinking at best.

Good thing nobody is claiming that then. Let's see you try to actually articulate the argument being put forward instead of putting up a straw man. Here's a hint for where to start: describe the difference in safety (with respect to whether undefined behavior occurs) between a language like C++ and Rust.
Oh ya, if you read my replies around this thread (I’m not suggesting you should) I’m saying that it’s “to each their own.” I’m only defending stand up as a concept, but if a team doesn’t find it valuable they shouldn’t do it (same goes for all rituals and meetings). I’m realizing now there is a distinction on where the discussion is “I’m being forced to do stand up and it sucks” vs “This is why I like stand up.” As someone in the latter camp, if your standup is a soul-sucking status report (pr just plain soul-sucking), then atop doing it! And yet, your company is forcing you to do it. And that sucks.
> Mr Johnson ought to have resigned for lying repeatedly to Parliament about whether he broke his own laws

There seems to be a problem developing across many western democracies that a large segment of voters have developed a tolerance for lying by their leaders. Perhaps it's just me getting older and more cynical but I really feel like this was not how it was 30 years ago.

I'm not sure where it will lead but it feels like this is one of the hallmarks that you would expect to see at the beginning of the breakdown of a civilised society.

How does having a user account make you less free or infringe on your privacy?
Domain names can't have slashes. But I think the DNS protocol just works with binary strings that are up to 255 bytes long (or was it 256?). So I guess most CLI DNS tools don't care if it is a valid domain name.
Yes I understand, that's why I talked about stocks and investing in the S&P 500.

I just wanted to state the obvious first that quickest way is to find a better paying job. And it doesn't even cost money like there are lots of free tutorials online to learn how to code better. I also understand that OP might already understand it (finding a better job as the best route) so I didn't spend too much time on that idea with just one sentence.

He also said that he wants to enjoy the finer things in life; so it makes sense for him to think about ways to get a better job.
If they did that those people would get fired once Musk had control.
In Japan, you’re supposed to pay for NHK, so they send old people door to door whose job is to guilt you into paying. I pretended I didn’t speak Japanese and then went back inside for more of that great bilingual nightly news bwahaha
Instead of choosing between density or single-family homes, why not have both? (i.e. single family homes that are built in a dense style). All you have to do is look beyond the borders of North America for working examples.

The Tokyo suburb of Seijo mostly consists of single-family homes but is also dense. The homes aren't massive, but based on the Time article, residents are okay with smaller homes as long as they are detached. This blog post explains how it's done: https://newworldeconomics.com/how-to-make-a-pile-of-dough-wi... (it's a long blog post . . . you can skip to the line "I chose Seijo because:" and start reading from there)

Some notes about Seijo (summarized from the blog post):

- It is mostly SFDR (single-family detached residential), usually with parking for one to three cars per house, not dense apartment buildings without parking.

- Has a population density exceeding that of Brooklyn

I don't see why such a development style couldn't be implemented in a North American context.
Interesting. My intuition is the opposite [1]: computers are highly optimized to decouple the different functions and subsystems. That is, even when the state space is huge, only a very narrow set of state transitions is possible. This constraint is what makes experimentation tractable, in contrast to biological systems, where state will bleed across the whole system because, at some point, that was a fit adaptation.

I think that view is historically validated in that, in wartime, one side would steal the other's encryption hardware (e.g. the Enigma machine) and be able to piece together a meaningful description of what it's doing, without access to the original designers, and even get to the point where they could pose what encryption function they're trying to reverse.

Of course, there's a key distinction there -- those were largely mechanical systems, while the question here is about tiny microprocessors. So I'd agree there's a sort of pre-requisite that physicists be aware of the existence of some key primitives that the system operates on (here, current, voltage, electricity, etc. along with the ability to see small enough parts). If that's what you meant by being "trained in computer science" then I'd agree, though that's a non-standard use of the term.[2]

In any case, there's more to the physicist's toolbox than closed-form analytical equations.

I finally read the whole thing. The word that comes to mind is "unremitting." He must name over a hundred details from the closely-read book and interprets--or just declares--each one to be proof of my worthlessness.

If I suffered from imposter syndrome, this would be the dreaded exposure of the horrible truth about me, but I don't, so it's not. It's certainly an impressively complete theory.

And I just marvel--and feel sort of honored--at someone taking so much trouble about such a thing.

Greatly depends on your definition. In the communities I frequent "novice" means a strategy like that will still get you progression. There are also a lot of people complaining about having plateaued or even regressing but still sticking to non-periodized programs, i.e. they're intermediates trying to train like novices.
I don’t think they segregate their training data based on car models. I mentioned in an above comment, but Comma.ai doesn’t do this and their devices support tons of cars. It would be very odd if a company far smaller than Tesla was able to figure out how to account for different camera positions and Tesla wasn’t. I bought a 2022 model year car and plugged the Comma device in and it just worked, and they would have had pretty much no training data from my car at that point. Just my speculation though.
The article is quite inaccurate, the ruling class runs scared of precisely nobody. They own the country and they will dispose of its capital as they chose, enjoying their property rights without the ignorant meddling of marginalised outsiders. The Tory party run essentially unopposed and the political preferences of isolated elderly people are shaped largely by the deluge of lies and fantasy which stream constantly at them from the murdoch press.

Tax breaks are awarded to businesses, and tax rises are heaped on workers and the youth who are increasingly impoverished. Failing to adequately tax or regulate all of this "productive activity" results in a windfall of profits for a few who hoard it and stagnate the economy while the demand for basic goods and services dries up and actually-productive sectors wither in favour of extractive rent-seeking "productive activity". The resultant budget deficits lead to crises in basic services, crumbling infrastructure, inability to intervene to keep incomes in line with living costs (even if a political party with the will to do that existed, and could get elected, which it doesn't and can't), and a spiralling budget deficit.
Yeah, OK bud... But let me please point you to every single talking point from USG at this point, not to mention the increase of any given congress person who has a base salary of simply ~120K (now 175K) etc... dont fucking argue with the salaries over time... who have magically grown that base salary to ~$200 million over time, without RSOs options, aquihires, buyouts, going public. (and their spouses who made LLCs to get TARP buyouts, or their kids....)

Get lost with apologist sentiments about whats really happening in the US political spectrum.

We know how technology works. We also know how corruption works...
I'm totally ok with believing statistics that don't match my worldview. I've even adjusted my worldview because of some statistics I've seen but my understanding is that those statistics are flawed. A very important part of statistics is understanding how they're gathered and these are usually gathered from crimes reported to police. From what I've heard people haven given up reporting most crimes there.

If you're going to blindly believe statistics without trying to interpret them then what about the ones showing the outsized homicide rate for Black people? Without interpretation all you can conclude from that is something extremely racist.
It might not depend on indeterminacy, but a number of “large” effects are themselves the result of an underlying quantum process, e.g. the black body radiation spectrum.

>I'm pretty sure 60 is within 30-60.

Uh hu, but since I gave a range obviously we don't have 60 minutes of issues every week. If I meant that, I would have said we have 60 minutes of issues every week instead of giving a range for the meeting length.

>It's a tactic for managers to feel better about themselves. Look, the team is expressing gratitude! I'm a success as a manager! If you want to thank someone message them on Slack. We don't need a 30 (or 60) minute meeting for an enforced feel good moment.

You're projecting so hard here.

(1) We didn't have a manager for a couple months now and retros went on unchanged.

(2) Talking about wins isn't an enforced feel good moment. It's about identifying things that worked well so that the team can continue doing them.

Your position is extreme and not everyone feels the same as you.
How we won the war on infectious disease
My prediction would have been different 2 years ago. Pre-COVID, I worked on a few 100% remote teams, and it worked great.

COVID didn't do what I expected. Instead of online learning moving into the mainstream, we got emergency crappy online learning, and the world burned out on online learning. Everyone now believes it can't be done.

All the businesses I worked with switched to WFH, equally poorly. In my current job, working from home, I feel isolated and asocial. I hate it. That's true of many coworkers as well. It's not the fault of remote work, but it's the fault of the very poor implementation of remote work at my employer.

I don't think my employer is unique here.

I now share your prediction.
That is one comparison that should be made. The more important one is to compare having covid versus having the vaccine, the outcomes and the outcomes of you get covid while vaccinated.
That is a recipe for a variety of nagging injuries, at best, that will almost certainly get exacerbated.

Exercising only highly-restricted movements by themselves looks nice on a training log, but isn't really effective.
Pretty amazing company. They're a big Ruby on Rails shop. At least they were back in 2016. FYI, I was offered a position there but didn't take it up due to long commute.
I can see that coming - examples are Amazon's sidewalk project and Apple airtags.

At present, connecting your device is an opt-in since you have to give it wifi creds. In the future, devices will be connected by default and you'll have to opt out if you want to disconnect. Even if you're one of the few people who opt out, devices are going to have fine print that they can always receive "critical" updates via mesh.

Eventually many devices simply assume they are always connected, it's baked into their operation. They'll delegate key features to the cloud and opt-out won't even make sense.
Post it on Stackoverflow. I can't even count how many times I found myself in a situation where I had no idea what was going, googled and found the answer on SO/SE written by myself. Sometimes as recent as two years ago, sometimes a decade ago.
Basically the authors concede that everyone makes these stone gyoza, but claim that the reduced variation in the tool within this region means increased communication of tool-making is associated with this era of increased tool-production.

The data seem to bear this out, but they do not really address differences in materials or differences in morphology of the user.

Arguably valid reasons for ignoring both of these are given,

1) that in a limited view material has little impact and material was not selected for within populations who could have traded or traveled for similar materials, and

2) (this may have just been implicit) these are repeatedly indicated to be backed tools. This means they were designed to be mounted in a carrier tool (typically wood or bone that did not survive to present day). Like a safety razor blade, you don’t hold it in your hands.
I don't know if they still have it but they used to have a giant catalog that was the same thing in paper form. Super thin paper thousands of pages of just random stuff.
Keith Rabois and David Sacks and all of the other billionaire VCs who love to whine and complain about SF on twitter are nowhere near the crime (which is totally blown out of proportion). These guys own $20-30MM homes in Pacific Heights which is one of the poshest neighborhoods in the world. They're complaining because they're used to being able to pay for perfection - perfect dinners, perfect vacations, assistants and workers who do exactly as they're told, and SF is frustrating because if you live here you can almost see how it could nearly be the perfect city, but no amount of money can make it perfect - there is no such thing in reality as perfection and these VCs are pissed that they can't throw money at it and make it so.
> The majority of the US population lives in the same 6-8 metro areas;

According to [0] that isn't true. The eight most populous metro areas make up less than a quarter of the population in the U.S. You'd need the 48 most populous metro areas, not the 8 most populous. That means including all the way down to... Salt Lake City, Utah, at just over a million people.

there's no min age requirement for investment - start as early as possible, because time is a valuable resource for investing.

Getting a higher income (aka, leveling up) is great too - not mutually exclusive with investing.

doesn’t the car have multiple video cams built in? Take the footage and upload it online, if you have it.

I see Elon constantly interacting with fanboys hyping up autopilot features. One would get the impression that all features were perfect with the hype videos online.

Mach 2 (and thus XNU) was built on BSD 4, which was derived directly from Bell Labs UNIX V7. It has been “natively UNIX” as long as the other ancient V7 and SysV derivatives, like AIX and SunOS.

Maybe what you really mean is you don’t like UNIX and expect it to work like Linux?
Not that I disagree with your characterization, but I can understand why a real estate agent wouldn't advise you. They are not consultants or professional service providers, and are not set up to do hourly work. If you're an engineer or a lawyer, you have limits on the kind of consulting you would do, and have insurance against errors, plus your whole business is set up to handle hourly consulting work.

A real estate agent won't have the insurance, probably has not mechanism to even take your money through their brokerage (who would want a cut of everything and limit the kinds of services the agent could offer). Plus what they told you is correct, there is a limited upside in making even a very high hourly wage offering you advice, and huge downside if there advice doesn't pan out and you sue, or they have some reputational issues from second guessing colleagues. The whole market just isn't set up that way.

And I'd guess a big reason is that at the residential transaction level, there is basically no demand for it. If you're buying a site for an industrial project or housing development or something, I'm sure you can find a consultant that specializes in that.

Tldr, there are good reasons why a real estate agent wouldn't advise you like that, even if overall it's a scummy job.
I've seen other in-markup code execution software and my favorite by far has been org-babel for org-mode.
This tool was as close to ubiquitous as tools get. Within the paper it is mentioned the tool existed for 50k years or better, and they compare this population from southern African with one spatially and temporally removed in Australia.
