I'm skeptical about vi/vim but I like to watch videos like these occasionally to see what I'm missing out on. But I lost interest here as soon as he said he was going to avoid using regular expressions. Of course you would use regular expressions to do this task. It makes zero sense to me to commit a bunch of vim -specific tricks to memory instead of practicing regexes which work not only in vim but in almost any decent editor or programming language.

for a task like this, I would often prove it out with regex search and replace in an editor and then if I felt like I was going to need to repeat the task often, turn that into a script

I feel like many people are unnecessarily afraid of regexes but they are a much more broadly useful tool than vim commands
There was an example I liked where somebody asked it a scientific question and it wrote an answer that looked superficially OK and wrote citations that looked like real citations except when somebody tried to look them up.

ChatGPT has no conception of "truth" and when I see people who are excited about the junk that it spews I think it makes those people look really bad because it seems like those people have trouble telling fact from fiction.
Well, and that's why I'm not eager to enable 2FA just to store the secrets in the same place I already store my passwords (Bitwarden).
Protip: for simple lossless cutting, ffmpeg is more than enough. To make a 2 second clip starting from the third second of input file:

Processing 1M Updates per Second
Tremor Video is processing data on 20B devices with greater than 30k attributes and is updating them at a rate of greater than 1 million records per second using FeatureBase. Not only is the ingest throughput amazing but reduced the hardware footprint of the main table to ~12TB from ~200TB in other, much slower and much more complex databases like Cloudera, Druid, Vertica, ArangoDB, Redis, and Aerospike.
Or, the reverse: what stops the fediverse from becoming Twitter? Like the post shows, it seems like these apps tend to consolidate around one or two instances. So you just end up making Twitter again.
The fact that vivitrol is both rare and stupidly expensive is a tradgedy. Like, if the goverment just forced pharma companies to supply the stuff for free or extremely cheap it would help addicts immensely.
Also why not hit people with the vivitrol shot the second they get caught with opioids or show up in the emergency room because of an OD? Don't bother with criminal charges or forced rehab, just mandate the person comes in and gets the shot for a few months, free of charge.
I know vivitrol isn't perfect but it's the closest thing we have to a vaccine for opiod addiction, we should be giving it out like a flu shot.
You claimed solar has too low EROI to be viable.

Prove new solar in a median location is lower EROI than the median for new gas using up to date info on the whole process and solar cells you would buy for a project started now such as 155 micron wafer mono PERC.
Wow, I had no idea. That would not have been on my list of potential dangers from long swims at all!
There are many different kinds of laws that are supported under the banner of "right to repair", even some that I support, such as limitations to IP, even though I'm generally very sceptical to any proposal that is advised as "pro-consumer" as such proposals are usually intended to help prevent competition and allow big and established companies to form and maintain oligopolies.

Even if the lasers were currently 100% efficient, the Q still needs to be increased by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. That's because they're making less than a penny's worth of energy here, and the system cannot be economically feasible with that little energy per expendable target.

I was thinking similar things while watching the video - my thought was to use column selection mode to create the link tags, though. It's basically the same flow as cmd+ctrl+g to get the new lines.
True. That was my take on Elon: the alcoholic just bought a brewery.

Knowing how connected the guy is, I'm guessing he'll only serve a few years at most. I sincerely hope I'm mistaken.
"..He went back a few days later and the price was still wrong."

I've occasionally wondered about this, as an entirely new class of crime. One where a motivated regional manager at a modern supermarket chain could get together with someone in the IT infrastructure and decide to tweak a number (a price) in a database, and carefully watch the uncontested sales vs requests for refunds ratio. These 'mistakes' could be happening all across the stores' offerings and no one, including most of the employees, would ever be the wiser.
Zip disks were earlier, in the 1995-2005 decade, by the end of 2000's they were already going towards obsolescence.

After the 100 MB, there was the 250 MB and later even came the 750 MB.

In my experience they were very handy/useful, particularly for backup use, but they were seriously troubled by the click of death issue.

USB 3 came well after 2/4/8 GB USB (2.0) sticks were common enough, USB 3.0 started becoming a common thing around 2010 or later, around 2004/2005 a common USB stick would have been 256 or 512 MB, in a couple years they quickly grew to 1/2/4/8 GB minimum.
> Define significant part. There are people in 2020 living in absolutely abhorrent slums. Most major US cities have areas meeting this definition.

The 1920 slums meant living at 5-10 people per room, with no running water, in constant stench from the nearby factories. I doubt you can find many places like that in US today.

> Unsure if this is true.

That's what the data I've found says - average time worked in non-agriculture was close 3000 hours per year (so, 60 hours per week for 52 weeks per years - no sick days, no vacation). Plus constant risk of death or maiming, plus obviously inhaling all the deadly pollution etc. (Communist countries at least started recognizing that conditions of working in a coal mine or steel mill will literally kill you over time, and gave those workers full retirement after "just" 15-20 years of work there). Conditions were bad enough that people were risking their lives trying to start trade unions. Many were killed for it, too. How many trade union members were killed in 2022 in the US?

Women didn't worked at jobs, but slaved away at homes. Living without modern amenities plus large families meant a mountain of work. For example, my grandmother didn't have a washing machine and washed the bed linen by hand, which meant 10+ hours of physical labor. She insisted on doing that every 3 weeks or so.

> Suicide rate in the US has been steadily climbing decade over decade. What does that say about our living conditions?

Hard to say? For example, during wartime (cannot imagine harsher living conditions than war), number of suicides can go down significantly - they did in the UK during WWII for example. The relation between living conditions and suicides are complex at best.

I'm a civil lawyer, not criminal, but maybe a criminal lawyer can chime in. Don't they have to allege specific facts in an indictment? If I were served with this as a civil complaint, it would be deficient on its face.
> This app is not for exact cutting. Start cut time will be "rounded" to the nearest previous keyframe, which may be a fraction of a second before your desired cut point, or up to several seconds, depending on the encoding.

I found this problem with all ffmpeg-based editors...does anybody know of an editor capable of cutting between inter-frames? The same happens with sound files, which is inconvenient.
How anyone could look at this man's behavior over the last few weeks and not think he was on a fast track to a federal penitentiary is beyond me.

A word to the unwise: If you have done something, anything, that you have a credible reason to believe the United States government thinks is illegal, shut up. Do not do any of the following:

* Go on a podcast and talk about it

* Go on a Twitter livestream and talk about it

* Tweet about it

* Answer questions from those you committed the crime against about it

* Speak to journalists about it

Instead, shut up. Shut up shut up shut up shut up. Your defense attorneys and your ankle will thank you.

It does not matter whether it was an honest mistake or not. It does not matter whether you agree, philosophically, that it ought to be illegal. It does not matter whether Congress wants to talk to you about it first. It doesn't matter whether you've lived a life so sheltered and privileged that you cannot conceive of the idea that anyone from the government might be out to get you.

Imagine the US Justice Department as an extremely patient, extremely hungry predator, and yourself as a delicious, plump prey animal with two broken legs hiding behind a rock. Anything you do or say to anybody except your lawyer will be used against you. So shut up.

You make the same mistake fission boosters make. Converting heat to electricity is expensive. Solar and wind skip the expensive step, going straight to electricity. Electric power from solar and wind is already much cheaper than coal, without subsidy, for this reason, and because coal has to be dug up and transported. Coal has a high operating cost. Solar and wind have extremely low operating cost, and also very low capital cost, always falling.

Solar and wind, un-subsidized, are the cheapest power the world has ever seen, and their cost is still falling at exponential rate.
> It's yet another "over unity" announcement.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there haven't been "over unity" announcements before this -- aside from bombs. The Q of 1.5 here is the story. All Qs before have been under 1.
Probably because HN is not a law enforcement agency for New York City. The law has some exceptions, perhaps those apply. Why not contact the company and politely ask for the salary range?
I found it increasingly less easy to like him.

I mean, when Musk was mocked I used to say. Well, at least, whatever the room he may be in, he is the smartest in it.

Now, I dunno. Is he playing 4D chess so that he can transmogrify his fortune into a political one?

Or is he just a dick who happened to be at the right time at the right place, where they just happened to need a dick at that point.

Most of these seem to boil down to "he seemed like a smart guy who knew what he was doing and wanted to help people." That's basic grifting. It seems odd to say that it only works on elites.

Particularly the last. Elites love to help people, unlike common folks who are too selfish to fall for a con like this? That's the opposite of the usual stereotype.
Feeling an emotion across the body (chest, temples, mouth of the stomach, etc) is a very common thing for an awful lot of people. So common that you can find it in literature since antiquity, across cultures, as something that does barely require explanation. And even if it weren't, I would suggest against labelling people as weird based on the way they feel.
Here are the numbers from the current live discussion :

300MJ in at the wall, 2MJ produced at lasers (using 1980's laser tech), 3MJ out from reaction
Yes. Got tired of the many updates which forced me to continuously change my configurations and app versions. After some distro hopping and wm hopping I landed at NixOS with Gnome. Very happy I made the switch.
> Why spend all of the money to create and sustain a fusion reaction in a gravitationally subcritical environment when there is a giant perpetual fusion engine running on gravitational criticality alone a scant 93 million miles away?

Because Fusion and Gen IV Fission the kind of tech that would also dramatically improve standards of living.

Renewables + storage essentially keeps the present day standards of living without CO2 emissions. Big deal. That proposition won't convince the very high IQ people you need to drop from Wall St. and FAAMG.

People work to improve their standards of living, thinking that it would be possible to mount a global effort to sacrifice ourselves for the benefit of people who'd be alive 200 years from now is a proposition which is solely realistic in the minds of naive and monodimensional people like the Greta Thumberg, Extinction rebellion etc.
yes, I don't mean not doing what a user does. My main concern is test execution speed. When you have a system that's not that fast and a lot of long tests, that can quickly add up. My idea is to avoid redo redundant steps.

Let's say that a user can book a flight and after it's booked he can manage his flight. I can have two tests: one to book a flight, and one to manage a booked flight. The second one doesn't need to book another flight as precondition, it can use the one booked when executing the first test. Hope this makes my point clearer.
I switched to Linux when Windows 95 self-destructed because I needed a OS that would show up for work every day. It hasn't been all smooth-sailing, but, tbh, I caused most of the issues I've had.

A few years ago, I took a job in an all-mac shop and I figured it out. It never stopped feeling clunky, but that was certainly a matter of personal preference. Eventually, I got all the docker things working well enough in linux that I installed ubuntu on the mac and it was a really nice experience. I dig their hardware.

I think it comes down to what you're good at and used to.

With that said, as a python developer and system maintainer, I found the whole brew thing in macos awkward and extremely finicky, though I was always able to get things working eventually. I did drop macos within a few months, but I am sometimes made aware of the polished software and device integrations that just aren't available to me on the platform.

I think my few months of experience with the mac echoes what others have said about Linux. I might have enjoyed all the work to figure out how to make it usable when I was younger and had more time, but, at the end of the day, I just needed it to work and it only sort of did. I much prefer linux (ubuntu, gnomeshell, x11).
Hertz settles lawsuits over hundreds of alleged false arrests
I'm no doctor or anything but that sounds serious. Could you expand on "failed to get diagnostics from doctors, hospital"? Did you get seen and evaluated for symptoms which could suggest heart attack?
I started wondering why the beginning was an advertisement for diversity and inclusion, along with a constant back-patting of the current administration, even though this was a decades-long endeavor spanning both republican and democratic leadership.
I love making Gtp-3 summaries. It is starting to save me real-life work as well now. Here is a tl;dr for this article.

Elon Musk has been engaging in far-right activism, including mocking transgender and nonbinary people, expressing disdain for public health officials, and amplifying and advancing the interests of right-wing reactionaries. He has advocated for free speech and amnesty for those who have offended his rules, while simultaneously suspending accounts that have mocked him or expressed left-leaning views. His far-right activism appears to be personally motivated by a desire to be perceived as a visionary and to preserve the political values and systems that keep him on top.
It does indeed support common CPUs like the Intel i5 (and a bunch of others I forgot existed): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/mi...

But if you're referring to lack of official support for 9th gen and older CPUs, then it is indeed a pain in the butt. Plenty of valid computers losing official support because reasons is a travesty, but at least W10 is still getting updates for a while I guess? FWIW I have a PC with an i7-7700 and no TPM running W11 for the heck of it, and it runs fine, but it wasn't happy about it. This is just the TV PC, so nothing critical; I wouldn't do this on anything even remotely important.
I think there is a difference between actually caring (when you reflect on your life, it is important to you) and having a rush of dopamine that makes you feel the need to check these apps and continue scrolling.

Variability Becoming More Problematic, More Diverse
I see a lot of reasons to version code.

I see far less reasons to version data, in fact, I find reasons against versioning data and storing them in diffs.
It's often arrogance that leads to these things. I have a feeling he thought that the "aw shucks, I didn't know what was happening and I want to make things right" shtick would somehow work. He seems like a pretty dumb guy.

E = mc^2

Consume a small amount of mass, release a very large amount of energy due to the huge conversion factor. The first law isn't violated because the energy being released is coming from the annihilation of matter.

Mass and energy can in principle be converted given the right process. LLNL consumed the mass that produced the energy.
And in Ohio, Republicans legislated natural gas as green energy.

I don't pity SBF, but this advice is important for innocent citizens. It's unfortunate that anything you say to law enforcement can be used against you - but none of it can be used for you. A police officer can testify against you, but if they try to support you it will be dismissed as "hearsay".
it's not about powering something powerful, I'm not sure if you're actually a "kid" like your username suggests, but when generating energy we're looking about the input and output of Watts or Megawatts. So how much energy do I have to put in to get to which output. What you do with that energy doesn't matter, it can be a server farm, it can be your grandmas kettle

Google is bad and obviously being gamed and Google clearly doesn't care. But it's still better than Bing. One example: if I search for a part #, like an IC, Google at least tries to show me some actual information about the part (datasheet, manufacturer web site, etc) on the first results page. Bing shows me nothing but SEO spam from people trying to sell the part for pages. In my experience, if advertising exists for a search term, Bing wants to show me every bit of it before giving me any useful information. Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo seems only mildly better, but to be fair I've only been using it casually.
What a cynical response to a genuine scientific advance. Getting net power from fusion is an incredibly difficult task, and scientific breakeven (and ignition, i.e. where the fusion energy contributes to heating further fusion reactions) is the first step, and this hasn’t been done before. Why not celebrate that? Why such cynicism?

We are developing literally a new way of making nuclear fire, a method which previously required an atomic bomb to produce. The first small kindled flame is definitely a triumph, even if we haven’t yet built a power plant for it.
