The library function is fine, although the long name is unfortunate. The apparatus around applying it, in the example, is aggressively weird.
I've been using Moviepy for a while and am surprised to read this! Will see what can be done.
I think you're joking? My mom has a mac so she can go chat with the nice young people at the nearby Apple Store when she needs something fixed, which she inevitably does. We also learned not to buy her a desktop, like an iMac, because then she can't take it into the Apple Store for them to undo whatever damage she has wrought. So macbook for her, and peace of mind for me.
Big doughnut-shaped tank in the spare wheel well, bit of plumbing to the front (copper in old installs, plastic on newer ones - my "old" Rangie has plastic pipe because I refurbed it about seven years ago), and a thing like a diving regulator that lets the engine "suck" gas through after boiling it off using engine coolant, and feeds it into the throttle body. More sophisticated ones use solenoid injectors that work alongside the normal petrol injectors and provide a more "direct" flow of fuel and better performance. On my oldschool install there's a stepper motor that adjusts the fuelling based on what it reads from the existing lambda sensors. When you switch to gas, a pair of modules (four cylinders each so a V8 needs two) switch some resistors in series with the petrol injectors so they cannot fire but the ECU still sees continuity, cutting off the petrol, and the gas solenoids switch on allowing propane through.

To fuel up you just go to a filling station with an LPG pump (getting harder to find here unfortunately) and instead of poking the nozzle down the filler neck and holding down a trigger on the filler gun, you plug in a hose with a fitting like a BNC plug the size of your wrist and hold down a button on the pump until you've put enough in. It clicks off when it's full.

No difference in performance (in theory you could adjust it to get more because it's the equivalent of 115RON fuel!) and a bit more fuel consumption, but roughly 2/3 the price of petrol.
> Ghost wants to collab but there's nothing from Substack

Substack doesn't have to "collaborate" do they?
They added comments, chat, an app for reading, sections. There is a lot happening in Substack core product.

Edit: this looks like a good list for my standards: https://on.substack.com/p/product-news-dispatch-nov-22

And Substack discoverability is becoming a big thing for writers. I know the impact from a lot of anedoctes.
Why are they necessary grumpy. Its kind of true.

Lets look at Apple for example. They tout and market ideas of privacy, green energy, recycling, progressive social values etc... In reality they use slave labor in India and China that adhere to very little environmental standards. They also are not unionized.

As long as the concept of a corporation is based on a legal obligation to maximize profit.. then "globalizing" this structure will not necessary "improve" the world on a social or environmental level.
Thanks, going to Sweden next summer and this sounds amazing!
Also many of the rounds in game are miniarcs themselves. First the lull waiting for new round, then the setup, next build up maybe one or two players dying. Then it entering the crescendo and that is either it or we have post plant scenario with an other build up potentially coming to save by single player.
It really likely is one of those "never will be beaten" records because anyone sane would do it in a B-52 bomber and have some room to stretch out - but everyone would immediately know it wasn't quite as "real" as being stuck in a plane the size of a Volkswagen bug for 2 months.
“The best” here is measured by reputational vibes—not research value added.
Electronic garbage and (some kinds of) entertainment are basically the only things for which "globalization will bring down prices" has really delivered, at least in the US. Turns out it doesn't help with most of the stuff that actually matters, and might even hurt.

So a fry cook can save a little and put together an entertainment center that would have been the envy of the neighborhood—almost unimaginably good—in 1992. So what? They're facing a hopeless financial situation on every other front. I guess it's nice the 65" 4K TV, Switch, and budget surround sound system can provide a distraction from everything else being ruinously expensive and getting worse every year, with seemingly no end in sight.
You have to remember, phones = bad, instagram = bad, and taking pictures = very bad. Other people aren't enjoying their vacation precisely to the parent commenter's tastes, so they are bad people who do vacationing badly.
No, it's not. Compared to industry, it is very normal to challenge each other in academia. So much so that many people moving from academia to industry are often told they are too "mean" or "aggressive" in meetings because they tend to challenge the status quo thinking too much.
The title confused me - I think the 'it' is ambiguous. It refers to the school not the PhD. So I think the meaning is "The school that grants your PhD thinks that PhD is not good enough to hire you".
This article incorrectly asserts intent or bias.

In most fields the number of graduates is much, much larger than job openings. This creates a very competitive marketplace. Consequently, most graduates will not find a faculty position; and for those that do, most will be at less prestigious institutions.
This may be the case in the sciences and engineering, but is much less so in the humanities and the social sciences. They are very different situations.
Governments hijacking infrastructure is not remotely the same as governments hijacking personal devices.
I don't believe that's per person, that's total for the team. So <18k for 4 players and a coach. The tournament went for 20 days, so missing out on any income you could generate from another job during that time, excluding the coach that's 4.5k per tax, on the largest money making opportunity all year.
You have no right to dictate what the goal of FOSS is about. It's also patronizing to claim Ghost made some kind of mistake here. They obviously picked MIT for a reason, which means they are fine with companies making profits from their unpaid work.
SD 2 also removed quite a lot of images of humans due to their fear of people generating CSAM, so the quality actually has gotten worse for anything resembling humans than SD 1.
Meanwhile in the US we’re not allowed to care anyone else exists by putting more research and economic agency into better healthcare.

We tacitly decided no one is worth keeping alive unless they coincidentally happen to be rich under a system intentionally funneling money to the top like all the rest.

Why care what anyone else has to say if their existence is not something I have an obligation maintain?
Reading the book too.

It is a very interesting read, I highly recommend. The guy knows a lot and it has lots of interesting information.

But I am not convinced. I think his approach is just too American, in particular, when it comes to China. I am not American and, sometimes, his jingoism is just too much.
Seems pretty inconvenient, plus the world is moving to eSIM. Although, I wonder if the alert system even cares about SIM. Presumably they would send it out to any device connected to the network, not just those with a SIM?
I look forward to seeing your HN post in a month's time about it.

How Hard Can It Be...?
I thought the reason interest rates have been so low for the last ~30 years is because governments in the 90s (certainly the US and UK ones) took the decision to make it their monetary policy to keep them low.
If I use some MIT licensed dependency to power a service at work, I don't beg permission from the maintainers first
Yeah that still doesn’t seem like a good thing.

No one is worth reading solely because the “mainstream media” doesn’t like them. People who jabber complete fiction are disliked in that way. Doesn’t mean they’re worth the time.

Glenn Greenwald in particular depresses me. The days of his blockbuster stories feel like distant memories, now he just posts poorly edited (or more likely not edited at all) opinion pieces powered by nothing but rage. I genuinely don’t get why people would pay for it.
Yes, this is considered ok. It can also be the case that you have School 1 (PhD) -> School 2 (professor) -> School 1 (Professor). But that's still fairly uncommon.
When John says "product engineers" does that mean "the engineers who specifically work on the code that gets used by customers"? Ie. excluding the engineers who do all the support stuff: CI/CD/testing/etc. ?
But how else are all those engineering teams going to validate themselves to management? Gotta crank out them features!!
If you are using the Android OS originally installed on the phone, you can deactivate many of these at the OS level (not baseband) using ADB. This does not require rooting. An easy way to find and deactivate these codes is to use the UAD (Universal Android Debloater) found on Github.

> On the other hand, using the earliest of GUI's as an example is misleading since the improvements I mentioned will require about 1,000 times the memory.

800x600px @32b was my favorite resolution & depth for a long time. 800x600x32/8 (800 pixels x 600 pixels x 32bits per pixel / 8 bits per byte) = ~1920000 bytes. Call it just under 2MiB. But 4K? 3840 x 2160 x 32b / 8 = 33177600 ... or just around 32MiB... around 16x the size. No, it does not require 1000 times the memory. It requires only about 16x the memory.

Where memory is being lost is in massive amounts of inefficient languages copying and duplicating huge swaths of images (and tons of other datas too) that will never or rarely be used. Want a transparency on the window? Well now you have your image, the background image, and the real blended image. Want to show bunches of pretty little custom images? Each of those comes in, and some of them aren't even visible! But they still need to be loaded up.

And that doesn't even talk about the slowness of the application. Tons of IPC communication going on to enforce sandboxing, instead of just directly doing whatever it is that needs to be done. In-process multi-threading models with inefficient languages exacerbate it. Inefficient design with huge layers of abstractions to support a fifty bajillion different ideas for how a user might want those pictures shown (oh, you want big icons but another user wants little pictures; you want light colors, another wants dark colors, and a third wants custom colors...; different fonts, different etc...).

And that's just looking at images. What about datas? Gotta hold all of those APIs and telemetry somewhere. Gotta cache them so you don't have to request it again. Gotta hold it in memory because disks are slow. Gotta keep all of the metadata too. Might as well put it into a sqlite3 database and make it easier to manage! Or maybe the developer can just store it all in a linked list and look it up as needed... And what happens when you run out of memory? Goodness that's annoying and difficult, especially in a terrible language, so just don't worry about it. Just allocate something new and let the garbage collector... collect your garbage that you've strewn all across the user's machine. Who cares if it's "slow" as long as your application doesn't crash? Need to render a new image? Best to render it from a template image, so now you're holding even more images and also allocating new ones every time you need to render stuff. Except that it's all done in CSS by the kids these days, so the template image isn't even an image... it's text... to be rendered by the CPU. Yes, cool. No, not fast.

All of that ends up being on top of terrible "cross-platform" frameworks to make it cheaper (to the developer) to build the damned software.

Why are computers so slow and bloated these days, anyway? It's certainly not because computers are slow and bloated.
It gets really interesting when the setup is a diversity hire lieutenant and an experienced white male sergeant in a safety-critical industry. One person thinks she is being bullied, and the other one just wants to save his life.

Because the control flow happens implicitly at the end of the block, not explicitly as with goto, loop, if-statements, etc. A deferred statement can also have arbitrary time and space complexity, so it's not like a variable going out of scope at the end of a block which is constant time. It furthermore requires invocation of all deferred statements while unwinding the stack upon calling exit(). See the details here:

*Caveat

For me, typed code is more readable than untyped code. As someone who writes & is very used to typed code.

Thinking back to a previous iteration of myself, learning C/C++, Javascript & (old, hint-less) PHP in my early 20s, typed code looked alien. Sure, if I'd applied myself a little to the reading, I guess I could've figured it out pretty easily, but I wasn't inclined to because it appeared impenetrable to me. In a similar way to regex or terse perl (though not as bad obviously).

TL;DR: It needs the advocacy because the readability gains aren't obvious/implicit.
If it's not a user setting, then it shouldn't be listed with all the other user settings, and labeled as something the user has control over. At the very least, any setting that can be overridden by the carrier should have a note or warning next to it, stating that.

The fact that it's so unclear leads me to wonder what other settings -- perhaps some related to my security or privacy -- the carrier can modify without my knowledge.

Except they (rarely) held up to 2.88MB.

I think an article about removable storage would have been written similarly two decades ago. People do forget things or didn’t take note of them at the time.

For example, I remember a lot of things about the Commodore 64, but I don’t remember the capacity in bytes or blocks of its floppies. Also, I sort of remember that Amiga floppies were 880k after formatting, but I had to look it up just now to confirm.
That's kinda Go's whole schtick: Google couldn't be assed to hire developers who had the baseline knowledge of their field, so they needed a language devoid of any of the useful advancements in language design made over the last 40 years except garbage collection.

Its focus is to be written by the grossly inexperienced, and anyone who doesn't fit that category will miss basic functionality from every other language they've ever used.
Is that why every technology product has to be modified for the Chinese market and every single movie has to be edited for the Chinese market or edited before being made to be palatable for the Chinese market even globally? China's behavior is the exact opposite of what you state.

Thanks, USA. Globalization was only good as long as they thought they could come out on top and make everyone else dependent and obedient.

We should have continued to strive for globalization, and left the USA behind to implode into its own collapsed mess. Now we're just turning our backs to China and Russia, pretend we're the "good guys" and that everything's amazing.
There were quite a few proposals for how to reuse rockets stages - actually you can see more the farther you go.

Certainly it could have been partially due to not yet having enough experience with many real world launches.

But at the same time a lot of the funding was comming from ICBM programs that don't really care for reuse by design & from army and a high profile space race with USSR. That kinda favored the expensive get-it-done fast expensive MVP instead of a more complex reusable solution that could be much cheaper in the long run.

And then the status quo took root & reusable rocket proponens were no longer taken seriously because - what were they thinkig, this is how we have always been doing it!

I've been tenure track faculty and university departments are the last place I would go to look for a "diversity of thought", I've seen people excellent faculty attempted to be driven out of universities precisely because there thought was too "diverse" for the rest of the faculty.

There's also too many counter examples of this I know to believe there is any truth to that statement. The few times I've seen it it's because of how perfectly aligned the candidates thought is with the department (for both good and bad).

Consider that maybe he had some form of Asperger's.

The lack of ability to prioritize is because every single detail is consider important. Which is why he gain the reputation of writing perfect programs.

Choosing your battles is good in the interpersonal relationships; but Mother nature does not choose battles when enforcing its laws, it doesn't say "well... right now we should suspend gravity because there are bigger fish to fry".

From that perspective there are not major or minor points, there are only points. So, what might seem petulant for neurotypical people, for Asperger's people is much more black and white; which is a blessing and a curse. but you will thank me later.

If you are in fact the monarch of a sovereign nation, you can indeed give companies a choice: "either design your products to automatically decrypt themselves when they enter my territory, or don't do business in my country."

Companies will then be forced to make a decision based on the market size of your country. Or they will break the law, and you will have to deal with enforcement.

Most companies would like to do business in the EU.

You are correct. Deepmind released a paper earlier this year showing that data is the primary constraint holding back these models, not their architecture size (ie a model with 5 billion parameters is not much better than one with 1 billion, but more data can make both much better) [0].

I will copy paste the main findings from the article here:

- Data, not size, is the currently active constraint on language modeling performance. Current returns to additional data are immense, and current returns to additional model size are miniscule; indeed, most recent landmark models are wastefully big.

- If we can leverage enough data, there is no reason to train ~500B param models, much less 1T or larger models.

- If we have to train models at these large sizes, it will mean we have encountered a barrier to exploitation of data scaling, which would be a great loss relative to what would otherwise be possible.

- The literature is extremely unclear on how much text data is actually available for training. We may be "running out" of general-domain data, but the literature is too vague to know one way or the other.

- The entire available quantity of data in highly specialized domains like code is woefully tiny, compared to the gains that would be possible if much more such data were available.

SQL Database drivers have so much in common, but each represent schema and data table(s) differently on the wire. Some handle cancellation within the protocol, others require a work around (like another DB connection that issues a KILL command). TDS (Microsoft Server) is actually one of the better protocols and better documented protocols (due in large part to historical court orders) out there.

My takeaway is that compact schema streaming data is not a well developed field. I think we can do better. Not only that, but developing both such a schema, protocol, and associated tooling is key to significantly better data-centric applications from end to end, not just the database.
