Thank you!

Yes, exactly. We do forced alignment when you edit your transcript. The new words don't have any timestamps, so we need to align them. For short sections we use interpolation. If we need align whole sections we use Gentle[^1].

I have found this to be a good, if somewhat unreliable way to find therapists. But it definitely is a real resource that shouldn't be sandbagged with downvotes.
It's not a price floor [1].

If the wholesale price of power is higher than the strike price, then the operator pays the difference to the regulator.

what's wrong with just getting the soldiers out of the field all together, period?

I like the idea but the way it's actually going down is awful. Russian soldiers that returned without permission are being brutally abused and made examples of. Youtube takes down the videos but you can find some of them on bitchute and 4chan.
This comment sums up HN beautifully: "Here's an article from a subject matter expert on this topic, but I'm going to go ahead and ignore everything that was said because it doesn't fit my narrative."
I have been on HN ~5yrs and only like last week I started getting an auto-ban of sorts about "you are posting too fast" even when I post ~15min+ between posts and then it takes something like 6-24 hours (haven't kept trying to measure it) to reset. Been meaning to do ask hn post about this but that counts against my daily allowance of like two posts (hope this one makes it lol).

I think moderation (in general not at HN specifically) should be transparent, truthful and measured. But at the same time, if you don't pay to use a site you have no say in how it is operated.

I would like to know if I said things that are not welcome at hn? Or perhaps I broke rules without knowing it? I try my best to be reapectful and kind to others but I also do get angry at some posts and let emotion get the best of me sometimes. But if I did something unacceptable I cannot stop doing it unless I am told what that thing is, so shadowbans work against the moderator's interests if the moderated subject is being cooperative.

At HN: the decision to allow political and controversial non-technical posts also means accepting undesirable or controversial views (even if they get downvotes) else you are just creating an echo chamber of ideas. I had a post where every hour or so when I checked it goes upvote then down vote all day long because it was controversial I guess but I thought I simply had a strong opinion on a subject instead of being hostile or posting something irrelevant or invaluable to the discussion when I started noticing the restriction.

But like I said, I have no qualms on any moderation decisions on a free to access site. But also, I am very supportive of solutions to scale moderation. I really think paid human moderators can be scaled for many online communities and social networks.

Why isn't FB hiring people for $12+/hr to moderate stuff? The idea that it is either humans or ML as opposed to humans working with ML is silly. Or maybe they are already doing that at major social networks. I always wondered why reddit for example doesn't allow subreddit members to have paid subscriptions to support moderators.
I'm not sure I'm "good" at answering these kind of posts, but I'm the same age. I can't speak to everything, but I can to a couple things:

>I know the best of my life is behind me

Simply not true. This is a mindset thing, I think. I had a great time in my 20s and 30s, no regrets. But I wouldn't go back there for anything. Everything about being older and wiser feels better to me. Sure, I'm slowing down physically, but that's something I can (and do) easily work on.

>As I stand, I have no current skills related to either my education (MEng) or my previous work experience (BI Reporting/Analytics). I don't have ideas/skills/network for entrepreneurship.

So, this is going to be tough in the short term, no lies. But it's not insurmountable.

We're going to go through a little bit of a rough patch in hiring in this space thanks to the recession that's coming or we are already in. It sucks, but that's the way these economic cycles work.

But it sounds to me you are related to a hot segment of the economy. Take this time to catch up on the state-of-the-art. Data literacy is not going anywhere. Learn about and play with the tools of the Modern Data Stack. There are entirely new roles out there you can get into in this space: Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, etc. Take whatever work you can in the space to get something on your resume. When the economy recovers you'll have no problem earning a living in the space.
I think governance is a theme we appreciate, and how to weed out people like him from public life is an interesting problem to solve.
The law is that <13 can not be voice recorded without parental consent, the way Fortnite broke this was by having it on by default. This does not mean the only way to break this is by having it on by default it's just what Fortnite was doing.

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2017/10/...

Even if "by default" was the law though that would seem to make things even more theatrical and less pragmatic anyways.
Early success is an outlier propped up by media's focus on the few who did it. Most big successes come from people in their 40s and older. There's a long tail of fulfilling possibility below the top that can happen at any age.
> I […] value seeing the original failure instead

This is what Python’s “raise from” is for; to preserve the original exception.
Fun fact: Originally, Wesley was intended to be female: Leslie Crusher. So the original idea was to not even bother with gender-swapping.
That's a mutation of the reproductive system of the class Gender with male as the value, also known as a sex. Still a male, with their mutation event modifying the state of their reproductive system into damaged, one that is different from the original state. That does not change the class but simply the value of a property within that class.
I’m in the market for a car and the short answer is my partner wants room
I thought I was done professionally in my 30s, was also quite depressed, I thought I wasn't good at anything. I landed a great job in a different field at 44. I don't know if I'm super happy but with motivation, luck and work, it's not too late for change.
Barnes & Noble store expansion leads big-box real-estate revival in 2023
There are magic bullets. But I feel a few months ago as if I stumbled upon one:

My regular sports team (ultimate frisbee) disbanded after the pandemic, so I found myself without any physical exercise. I thought I probably should go to the gym but realised I wasn't going to do it after work, and neither before breakfast. Also, I am 34 and have never visited a gym before in my life.

Then I found a gym across my office which specialises in High Intensity Interval Training. They are group trainings that only last 25 mins. Including overhead (shower, dressing, etc.) it takes 40 minutes. This means my lunch break is about 1h15 minutes long, but it includes sports!

It has transformed my wellbeing, and I feel suddenly I am acting on issues that I have been procrastinating on for years.

Obviously there are many other things you could/should do in your life. And the other comments here are very valuable. But maybe if you are only going to do 1 thing... Consider this. Or consider it several years down the line when other things have worked out :).
Sounds like he's an icarus-style fraudster who is flying too close to the sun. Can't believe people think they can get away with this sort of thing in 2022. What will the consequences be? Is any of his conduct a crime?

The best of your life is definitely not behind you!

Others have suggested therapy, and as someone that spent some years with a therapist I agree with that part, so I won't comment more on that. But I would really emphasize finding a physical practice of some sort. Finding a yoga and martial arts (muay thai) practice changed everything for me. Another comment mentioned you might be in Germany, and if I were there I'd go take a week retreat at Shaolin Temple Europe to study some forms [1]. He takes people of all ages and all levels there.

I don't know the laws re: the Digital Services Act but I don't think this guy does either. Also someone was speculating that since Musk had a tweet saying Twitter is a publisher, it arguably is no longer governed by section 230 which has massive ramifications in America.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604588904828600320

Add to this the fact that twitter data security is possibly a national security risk to countries all over the world, and I'm unconvinced. Twitter is a global media company and needs to follow laws all over the planet as a result, Musk and Twitter can't just act like hackers coding up fun internet services in their garage anymore.

Except hundreds or even thousands of dollars you may or may not have to pay the counselors until you find the right one. I don't mean to be discouraging anyone from getting help, but keep in mind the counselors are not fungible, and, at least in my experience, many of them are useless or just plain weird. (This is not to stereotype, just stating the reality.) I wish there was a way to prefilter them out, but it is such a subjective field and the treatment options are highly individualistic.

I would suggest any kind of community involvement with people you have an affinity for. In person, preferably. That brings on a set of new problems, but at least it will help get you out of yourself and away from too much navel-gazing.
If OP is in Germany, I can second this recommendation. They're funded via Christian organizations but as far as I'm aware the hotlines themselves are secular by default so if you're an atheist or non-Christian you don't have to worry about them pushing anything religious on you. Also, given how strict German privacy laws are, their claims of anonymity are as reliable as they can be (caveat: don't confess to any major crimes you have committed as those are usually not covered by privacy laws).

The easiest way to access a therapist is to ask your general practitioner (Hausarzt or Allgemeinmediziner) for a referral. You'll still have to find one yourself but they can direct you towards a list. The wait times can be very long but the sessions (and meds if any) are covered by public health insurance.

I suspect many are deeply uncomfortable with the idea that a person could ascend to being the richest man on the planet without any personal merit justifying that rise.
How do we know the geese the OP speak of were not Canadian?

Could be Canada Geese from Canada which would then properly be Canadian Canada Geese.

Could be any other species of Goose from Canada which would still be Canadian Geese, but just not Canadian Canada Geese (or is that Canadian non-Canada Geese?).

If you want to pedantically split hairs, why stop 1/2 way. We need a xkcd style venn diagram here.
This is why the actual training they need right now at this moment is to stop using the trenches. As soon as drones enter the picture, trench warfare is a losing battle. Both sides are still doing it and there are thousands of FPV videos of the drones dropping explosives on the soldiers that think they are hiding. They need to split up. They need real signal intelligence. They need to capture the drones and get the encryption keys off of them ASAP. They need to shut down all RF communication.

If people insist on using trenches, they will need to change the methodology to the tunnels used in the Vietnam war vs open trenches. This is of course not feasible in the ground where they are located.
Ok you're hired, show up outside Market St in SF and I'll let you in.
Not like I can give a good life advice, but from my life experience as a man knowledge about psychology and anthropology - you need a goal/aim to work towards.
I say "experience as a man", because this is especially true for males.
Everything else will fall in place little by little.

And usually when someone doesn't know what to do with their life, I suggest them to learn how to code. This platform is the best one I know how to start programming: https://www.freecodecamp.org/

Why I say this is because it's easy for anyone physically capable to start coding for free. And the job prospects are good. And consequentially, there is a high probability this will give you some meaning/goal/aim in life.

Sorry, if this was a crappy advice. Just trying to help.

There is no harm in trying out therapists. Don't be afraid to fire them and find a new one. They shouldn't take it personally. Much of it is about fit and you need to find the right person for you.
It actually is beneficial, and is instinctive. There's a difference between bites (which introduce bacteria deep into punctures where they don't belong) and licking which places nitrites, lysozyme, and other antimicrobials onto the skin. see here: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

This. At highway speeds, air resistance dominates the energy consumption. It is roughly proportional to air density, which in turn is inversely proportional to temperature. Compare a nice summer day at 300 K, say, to a really cold day at 240 K. That’s a ratio of 5:4, pretty close to the 20% figure mentioned.
I always use private browsing window (and note my recommendation on how to replicate - to use Firefox Focus as this does not have any persistent data) - so yes.

I was depressed and NEET for about a decade too. Cognitive behavioral therapy helped me get a better outlook on life and put me on track to a successful career.

My advice is to be humble and open-minded to things that can drastically improve your life.

Do not think you are entitled to anything because you have a degree or for some other reason; let go of those thoughts - they can make it seem like you don't have an employment option "good enough" for you or that nothing you do could give you the luxury/quality in life you expect. Accept that you will need to start at the entry level. Let go of all expectations. It should feel very freeing.

Then become open to doing the things that push you toward your goals. First, consider what you want in your life as a next step. Is it therapy? Is it getting a job? Is it something else? Pick one, and focus on that. Secondly, execute without judgment and thought. Once you plan, do it without thinking, like a ribosome translating RNA into a polypeptide. It doesn't care whether the protein it builds is good or "right." It just does it by script. And so can you. If you wish to do therapy, just show up in your sessions. If you want a job, just pick an easy entry-level role and attend the interviews. Whatever you decide to do, start executing and never stop. Even if you just do one task a day (like today you research therapists available to you, tomorrow you call one, the day after that you call another; or today you decide what job you want, tomorrow you research how your resume should look, the day after you update your resume, then you look for open roles, then you apply).

Whatever you do, make it easy for yourself by removing judgment, expectations, and time pressure. But once you start, do not stop.

You can also see this when people think a good physique isn’t the result of work in the gym. As if it’s just a natural body variant on a continuum with no muscle definition on the other end.

People also fail this test for women who, for example, do barbell hip thrusts every day in the gym to get a nice butt that everyone takes for granted. “You’re so lucky to have a body like that. I wish I was.”

I think we see so many good looking people so often we lose sense of what it takes to get it.
Just so.

Having survived several monolith to micro service transitions I can confidently say that you don’t want to go there if you don’t have to. Modular monoliths are the next logical progression in scaling your architecture for the next magnitude of growth. You get a lot of the same benefits and separation of concerns without the overhead. If you find yourself ready to take things to the next level (congrats!) you’ve already got some logical boundaries to chop things out. Even then you might want to consider the “macro services” approach the author recommends.
How do you suggest picking what to invest in for the new cycle? That's always been the hardest part for me.
>>It's not theft to "possess" Call of Duty if you never paid for it?

From a US law it is not even theft to distribute it, it is infringement of copyright which is not theft.

>Now, can I go into Sam Goody in 1983 and just walk out with a cassette of the same album?

That is shoplifting of a physical product, very very different than replication of digital product

if you were from the future with a Star Trek replicator an when in to Sam Goody, Scanned the Cassette and made a perfect replica of it it would not be theft

Similar if I am a talent artist and I make a perfect replica of a famous Painting to hang on my own wall it would not be a crime, it would only be a crime if I attempted to sell the painting as if it was the original work

See that is the key point, duplication of copyright is not a crime, selling it is, distributing it to others is.
The design of NIF was never intended to be viable for commercial power generation.
Also, men can circumvent fertility issues by dating younger. I know two 40+ men who started families with 20+ women, and so far so good.
I figured this was going to happen at some point. People are tired of only shopping online, and it's nice to go to an actual bookstore and look at physical books. We went too far the other way, and now things are swinging back toward the middle.
Show HN: ByteSync – A smart data sync solution for Windows, Linux and macOS
Hi HN!
I'm Paul, from France, and I'm the creator of ByteSync, a brand new data synchronization solution available on Windows, Linux & macOS (https://www.bytesyncapp.com/).

==WHY==

In my previous job, I frequently had to check if large files were identical on remote, cross-platform and often changing repositories and I had to synchronize them when they were not. With the existing solutions on the market, the implementation of these operations was often too long and tedious for my taste.

So I started developing ByteSync and extended it as I went along.

==WHAT==

The main goal of ByteSync is to transfer or synchronize data using an rsync-like protocol (diff-based) over the Internet, with very fast deployment, multi-directional synchronization and up to 5 remote or local clients running on Windows, Linux and macOS!

ByteSync does this by leveraging the cloud and rsync together.
Here are the main features of the software:

- Very fast deployment: download, unzip or install, and it's ready!

- Remote and local backup via a session system with 1-5 local and remote clients

- Remote security through end-to-end encryption with AES-256

- Smart and optimized data analysis

- Transfer only file differences and share transfer buffers

- Native applications for Windows, Linux and macOS, with the same user interface and features.

==WATCH==

You can discover the Cloud Synchronization mode in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XJhdSRcmwE

==HOW==

The solution is based on several modern technologies, including .NET 6, AvaloniaUI, Azure and SignalR.
Working over the Cloud, it embeds end-to-end encryption and client authentication based on RSA key pairs.

The software is available in portable and installable versions for Windows and Linux, and in DMG format for macOS.
ByteSync is a proprietary and commercial application. It will be available with both free and paid versions when released.

==BETA==

Be aware you that the solution is not yet production-ready. ByteSync is currently Beta Software!

==TRY.IT==

There are 2 ways to try the solution:

- Either you join the open beta on https://www.bytesyncapp.com/#beta. You'll get the benefits of registration, such as access to support tickets to discuss developments and issues, and discounts that you can use when we start selling the solution.

- Or you don't register and use generic logins specific to HN community. All information is at https://www.bytesyncapp.com/hi-hn/
Instead of loading in the page, and then accessing that image, disable the loading entirely by using e.g. `data-src` instead of `src` in the HTML. You then fetch() the URL in that data attribute in your Javascript.

Here's a straightforward tutorial covering that: https://trezy.com/blog/loading-images-with-web-workers [0]

Note that this does mean the images will be delayed from loading, and will cause a layout shift when they're finally inserted. It's best to inline the image's height & width into the HTML if you know them in advance (or use `aspect-ratio`): https://www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com/blog/setting-width-and...

This should never be allowed.
Yet, by far the vast majority of content produced today, technical or prose, is read on screens.

Responsive webdesign has been around for quite a while. I don’t see a reason, other than lack of effort/investment, why we shouldn’t be able to read technical papers on variable-width screens, in a non-paginated form.

Dealing with the technical challenges should not be the task of the author, but the publisher. And indeed, most publishers are on it.

What‘s missing is a standardised format that can be downloaded, annotated, re-shared like a PDF.
Yeah I used hckrnews before Serializer, but top10/20 has too little content and top 50% or all too much, I find chronological Serializer very mild filtering better plus Serialized allows syncing across devices (smartphone/desktop) through unique URL you just save to bookmarks.

For Top charts I find BestHackerNews at heroku better, since you are not limited by amount and you can see all sorted by top in last 24 hours, week or month.
