As someone who worked in streaming, I hope new opensource formats burn down the incestual cesspool of rentseeking codecs and bury them under tons of concrete.

You're literaly commenting here on an article where Dolby CEO gleefuly explains how he made profit by using streaming services to make users pay for their own patents and royalties. And we didn't even get to the DRM which lies deeply integrated into every part of those formats. Or insane complexity of HEVC and Dolby Vision profiles which somehow don't bother you at all.

So, AVC, HEVC, Dolby anything, DTS anything, burn the rentseekers to the ground. I'm sorry if you need to transcode an additional video format for that.
The motion seems like it mimics what skateboarders do with their front foot when they ollie.
Train trips mostly fit Japan better, and it's more relaxing.

Kyoto is an amazing place, Tokyo is a must, and Mount Fuji is quite nice. I've heard Osaka is cool, but I've never been. Beyond that, specifics depend on what you're into.

First, they get the university to publish an article making their claim seem credible.

They then get an investor to give them $300,000 and make a custom order with a factory in China to add another piece of plastic and some branding to an existing device.

They wait 3 months and then receive 30,000 "magic" gizmos in the mail.

Then, they sell people a $250 electric muscle stimulator that you wear while sitting.

Then they buy a really big new house. They live in a city in the United States though so after taxes and paying a few other people off, it barely even qualifies as a mansion.

Probably aiming for something like this one https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6503-Edloe-St-Houston-TX-... which is very nice, but his country club friends who are really rich will compare it to their guest houses.

Fortunately they are almost done with the $59.99 app that tracks how much fat you are supposedly burning while you sit there for hours and your calfs twitch.

I think this will sell very, very well. People are incredibly lazy and want to believe that not only do they not need to get off their fat ass, they don't need to move anything other than their feet and legs a few inches. Not only that, they don't even need the willpower to move on their own, and in fact it only works if they plug in to a device that does everything for them. Lol.

Reddit is vote based so would you include that too? HN also has advertising (it has hiring ads for ycombinator companies put in as mostly organic-looking posts with no [ad] tag).
I'd get offended, but I wasn't paying enough attention to what the conversation is about to understand what side to be on!

Nice. Another meta thing I would like to do, is to generate a bunch of prompts around a topic, mashed up with related or unrelated other topics. So that I can get a bunch of images and just be able to review/curate them all in one go. Does anyone know of tooling in that direction?

But how do you reduce m1 without reducing r? TFA (correctly) points out that many attempts to reduce m1 will also reduce r, which can be counterproductive.

I'm seeing even worse. On my M1 Max 2021 macbook pro, I tried transcribing a 30 minute video file and left it on overnight and it was only half way through. I feel like something could be wrong with my setup but I'm only using the defaults.

Who was de-platformed?
here's my thought - and ill be the first to admit that i may not be correct.

its the front loading of a huge number of patterns which ends up being the barrier. An argument is made for "future proofing". Its not unlike Python whitespace indentation or golang's unused variables restriction.

But the design pattern complexity is far more harder than all these things.

There is a certain degree of complexity when all of this starts making sense. Or maybe do what Redux did ... and abstract everything out to somewhere else.
I’m not sure I’ve tried those. You’re not referring to Tyrkisk Peber are you?
Also, prior to Google throwing vast sums of money at phone companies, Bing was paying off many EU mobile phone providers to install Bing as the default search engine on all their Android-based devices and lock users out from changing it to anything else. Since those companies were government-enforced oligipolies, this meant ordinary users effectively couldn't get devices that sent their searches to Google or anyone other than Bing in many countries unless they went off-piste and bought their own device online from someone other than their mobile provider (which doesn't work a lot of the time these days with 4G calling). This could well end up substantially reducing consumer choice in a way that directly hurts Google. In fact, an astounding chunk of the Google anti-trust actions from the EU seem aimed at giving Bing unearned advantages...
Yeah, sure.

For corporations that aren't closely held, it's not clear that changes much, though.

[EDIT] Changes much legally, I mean. Ethically—well, again, corporations are a creation of of government, so it seems to me that can come with whatever strings attached the government cares to create (so far as what's ethical, if not what's a good idea), and if the folks running corporations don't like it, they can always... stop running corporations. No one's forcing them to run a corporation, and they can all go do whatever they like with full protection of the US Constitution and all that jazz, if they use their own personal resources and don't hide behind corporate liability shields.

The Soleus muscle (Soleal pump) is partially responsible for helping to return blood from your legs back up to your heart while upright. [1] This is a fairly critical process so it would make sense that it would be able to metabolize multiple energy sources.

Weird to call it a recall when nothing is being returned.
No way, I'm already at a good healthy weight. If I lose 20 lbs my doctor will get concerned, and I'll end up spending a lot of time getting tests for various cancers.
One thing I still miss in JVM is bundling the app into one executable binary, like others do (Go, Nim, Rust). I don't mean AOT compilation like GraalVM does, just either bundling needed JVM modules like jlink does (aka static) or depend on local pre-installed JVM (aka dynamic).

Yes, there's been jlink for a long time, but it still generates a folder, not a single file.

There is jpackage, but it generates installers for various platforms, not an executable binary.
could you talk more about this ? because in most other languages, there is no forcing of DAO/DTO.

>Fun(?) fact: in the US, about 1,000 per year are killed by police [3], which amounts to about 0.3 per 100,000. An American is about as likely to be killed by police as a Japanese person is to be killed by a murderer.

This is a direct result of the larger population of armed murders in the US. "An American is about as likely to be killed by police as a Japanese person is to be killed by a murderer" is only true when you include armed robbers and murderers in the data.
You are making it out as some sort of gatekeeping. A veterinary tech has absolutely no business publicly contradicting an epidemiologist during a pandemic.

When the building is on fire and the firefighters are yelling at you to get out, but Bill from the copy room is like "wait nooooo smoke is good for your personal aura," it is perfectly fine to question someone based on credentials alone.
What a mike drop comment.

I'm sorry, I went further down the thread, but it never got better than this.
> You may not like it but that doesn't change the fact that that's how vaccines (at a societal level) work.

That may be true for virtually all of the common things we are vaccinated for but it sure ain't true for covid. The covid vaccinations did very little to stop transmission or even infection. I mean, if they did then why the hell did so many states bring back mask mandates even after 80% of their state got fully vaccinated?
Don't make cash that spies on us
It's the same bit as the article itself, right?
One of the main things were learning from the current trajectory of large models is that this kind of supervision isn't necessary. It's better to focus on bigger models, more data, and better datasets. Models will improve faster than we can come up with clever ways to add this supervision.
> When activated correctly...

Any chance they found that it's the same activation you get from walking but just kind of left that part out?

Edit: Never mind, watched the video. Apparently it's the exact reverse of that internally? Did they test a moonwalk?
As someone who makes a living partially by doing custom distros for arm custom boards (and apps on top of them)... no. There is no difference between linux distros.

Same for Android flavors for that matter.

JFK - HKG is 17h30. Even SFO to HKG is 12h30, and those are two cities on the coast in a middle position. (I'd rather pick Shanghai as a comparison but there are no direct flights at this time due to zero COVID so the info is hard to get.)

The longest scheduled flight right now is probably SIN to JFK at 18h30m. Qantas wants to do a 20h JFK-SYD route.
I've been known to pump my leg rapidly like in the video when I'm anxious. Maybe it's an involuntary artifact to "keep the engine running" just in case my flight senses are triggered.
While it might not be a record of an experiment, it's a whole lot better in terms of data analysis than just someone's gut feeling. That last one was something I expected much more in the comments where people would just "well duh" this type of publication.

At the very least this data analysis shows something with a trace, instead of just throwing an idea out there and hoping someone builds a complete thesis around it and starts experimenting while everyone else is still guessing and having feelings but not getting anywhere concrete.
> I think that is unlikely, and I think it is likely we will see Google change the illegal licensing.

According to another comment, they even already changed their practices in response, a few years ago
Hey, thanks for correcting me. You're right that the issue was Limbaugh's radio program, not his TV. I apologize for getting my example wrong, but I think my overall point is still a valid one (that just because social media is more effective at spewing bad rhetoric doesn't mean bad rhetoric is ineffective in other media).
We have no-spy cash already, it's called cash.
It probably will be interpreted in all the wrong ways you can't even anticipate. All you need for an example is 2A.
I'd add one argument about art: living in a "primitive" state full of unknowns promotes imagination a few orders of magnitude.

Another one: I make a parallel with pre-tooled humans that these people long ago were living on a thin line and had to be extremely lean and yet wildly efficient all the time, you don't have much time to craft a spear and it better be lethal when you finally approach a prey. And you do this with your hands. It looks as stupid as senior writing a few lines of code and looking dumb when it fact it's 80% right the first time.
I really want to use this, but sadly the one thing that's missing is any sort of bucket access logging.

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure modern calorimeters won't catch the energy available via nuclear reactions. What if our digestive tracts have evolved some as-of-yet undiscovered mechanism to tap into that energy, thereby invalidating all the "CICO" people's claims? Now that would be a real pickle.
I’ve wondered that too, but I also think that part of that $1B budget is paying for PR firms to blanket the universe with positive reviews.

I haven’t met a single real human who likes it. And many who will go on for many minutes about how much they despise it.
And the Atlantic isn't even a particularly high-end magazine! Granted, the really fancy ones will run you more like $20.

The actual quote from the article - “The soleus pushup looks simple from the outside, but sometimes what we see with our naked eye isn't the whole story. It’s a very specific movement that right now requires wearable technology and experience to optimize the health benefits,” said Hamilton.

This is a statement around how to activate the soleus itself, and its an accurate statement for the majority of the population. It's an odd muscle to target, as we're generally more used to using our gastrocnemius muscles when plantar-flexing our ankle joint. Sitting helps target the soleus (which is why you might find a seated calf-raise machine next to a standing calf-raise machine at the gym) but it still requires a strong mind-muscle connection to activate without having the gastrocnemius take over.

Having some electrodes to measure and display specifically targeted muscle output would help, and this is likely what he's referring to in the article.
The issue with the meta products is that no matter how much you try to personally curate who you see stuff from, they will insert sponsored content you have no choice in and that can be real ads but also random posts.

I did a one month vinyl record shopping trip in Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo a few years ago by train.

Hiroshima was my favourite city. Considering what happened there, it had a really peaceful vibe and the city rebuild in the affected areas is great.

This also reminds me of something C programmers have all witnessed at least once: inline assembly.

Outside of bare metal programming, pretty much anything done with inline assembly can already have been done with straight-up C. BUT by using inline assembly, the coder has (nearly) direct control over what the compiler spits out.

And the reason I say "nearly," before someone corrects me, is that there are multiple ways to express the same operations in assembly.

For example, ADD AX,BX can be compiled as C303h or D801h... the end result is exactly the same, but the binary code is not at all the same. Incidentally, this is one of a few methods forensic agents heuristically determine what compiler was used for a given malware sample.

It's abstraction all the way down. Even at the Assembly Language level.
Right, and if that momentum is going to last 20 years, then that's going to dictate what's a good strategic decision and what isn't for the next 20 years. Thanks for letting me know what the good options might be when my infant daughter is halfway through college, that doesn't help me save for it in the meantime.

Prior familiarity is a very good reason to pick an option for a greenfield project if you're operating on any type of serious budget (time or money), especially if you need to hire others to help out. There's also the annoying reality that most libraries for new/up-and-coming languages are simply inadequate, despite whatever claims they make.

For instance, one of my personal side projects involves getting familiar with WebAssembly (note: not on a serious budget), and I'm using emscripten to transcode because that's what the internet seemed to think was the closest thing to a standard toolkit. I found a bug simply by combining two pieces of example code from Emscripten's own documentation (you'll note I'm transcoding from c++ due to prior familiarity): https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17143

This is not a dig on emscripten, merely pointing out that it's probably not mature enough for the stress of corporate-scale development, where you encounter all sorts of crazy edge cases well beyond the sample code. Java over the years has obtained that level of maturity. The edge cases are largely solved or at least known, and there's an army of experts and consultants ready to help if there's a problem. When time is money, that matters. It determines the risk profile of any project, greenfield or otherwise.

Java's momentum hasn't stopped, at best it's simply slowing. And at this rate it'll take decades to come to a stop, and decades more to recede to any meaningful degree. I'll also point out that C is very much alive and well in the embedded world. Plenty of job postings looking for C experience explicitly, for new products as well as legacy.
Standing calf raises train the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Many gyms also have a seated calf raise machine which is meant to isolate the soleus.

I don't think I ever felt anything special after using it.
What you have just described matches no mechanical process I've undergone getting my name on a patent my employer owns. At no time did I receive a patent that I then assigned to my employer. Such assignment is included in my employment contract.

I think that may be a hair-splitting on the process; point is it is possible to write a contract where work done by someone else has its copyright assigned to a contracted employer. But honestly, that entire point is less interesting than the question of how many quanta of work one has to put into a mechanism-facilitated process to be able to claim copyright of the result.

So paint-bucketing one square is insufficient for unrelated reasons of originality (the inability to copyright a shape). But Piet Mondrian's "Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow" (1930) was just a few squares and lines and was copyrightable. So clearly, it doesn't take too many horizontal and vertical black lines and full-block fills to create original art.

If I write a small script and put it in the public domain to generate Mondrian-like output and hand it to you, and you run it twelve times and pick your favorite, is there any reason you couldn't copyright that one? What's the important difference between picking the output of the script you ran on your hardware and drawing a few grids and paint-bucket-filling yourself? Is it not two paths to the same result: a novel Mondrian-style image that you created? How much intention is needed to make it copyrightable vs. how much random-algorithm output?
Another example is https://www.palladiummag.com/subscribe/ -- it costs a pretty penny at $50/mo with issues only being released once a quarter, so $150 per issue. But I do think of it as more of a "thank you" gift for a charitable donation to a project I support, since I believe all the articles in each one are all available online before the print version comes out.
Oh, --compressed is is a great point, thanks. Updating the blog.

I am suspicious of the methodology because of how quickly Facebook rolled out across most colleges/Universities. I want to say within a year. It feels unlikely that the data would be granular enough (and the survey given frequently enough at each University) to reach these sorts of conclusions.
It’s as sexy as it gets, even as it is. It has one of the biggest ecosystems, has insanely good performance, the best GCs, very good debugging capabilities, best dev tools, and that’s just the present.

It already has loom in preview which will make the whole previous thing suddenly non-blocking (this is uniquely possible with java due to the ecosystem being 99.9+% purely java, no FFI).

Once value types arrive, I will honestly see no niche other than embedded/lower-level not served by this platform. Oh, and there is of course Graal which will bring all these capabilities to even polyglot code bases, you can just execute some python script on basically java objects with java’s speed!
In terms of claiming the results of the election is illegitimate, "voters were influenced by Russian propaganda" instead of "votes were impacted by direct fraud" seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

https://news.yahoo.com/hillary-clinton-maintains-2016-electi...

In 2020, Hillary Clinton was still casting aspersions regarding the outcome of the 2016 election, sowing discontent about the electoral college, preparing Democrat voters to ignore the results until Joe Biden was declared the winner.

Portraying this game as if it's only being played by one team does not help restore any trust in the federal election process.

Great, sounds patent-able!
I'm making a boring empirical observation that people disagree about how to apply that word. You need only look at the current thread for proof of this.

If that's not obvious to you, it may be because you happen to agree with one interpretation rather than another; if so, I assure you that other people agree with their interpretation rather than yours. Hence the word "divisive".

Many parts of the stdlib are being slowly gemified, that's the case of `pstore` too hence why it has it's own repo.

It's now no longer technically stdlib, but a "default gem", a gem that is installed by default with ruby, see: https://stdgems.org/

Since a few years every version remove one or two rarely used default gems. The Ruby core team just doesn't like big breaking changes.
