I love to talk about this stuff as well. My stack is video -> extract audio -> whisper for transcript -> break it into segments -> create embddings for each segment -> get query from user -> get query embeddings -> compare and show the best results

There are a couple other tricks I use such as an overlap window for segments and a little post-processing for better results from the comparisons; but overall, this is the gist of it.

An issue with this approach is that ques-ans doesn't work as well as I'd like bec question and answer don't necessarily have similar embeddings ("What's the dog doing?", "He's sleeping" can be 2 completely independent sentences). So I would love to investigate more into Flan-T5 for this.

Can You Stop Beans from Making You Fart?
You seem to be missing the point of the article, which is this:

> the great majority of users are oblivious of the detection and remediation of malware on their Macs, which occurs in complete secrecy

This is a problem that Apple could solve but chooses not to. Everything the author is doing is admittedly a poor workaround for Apple's lack of user notification.
Ya people on this forum are a small subset of the population that know how to interpret ChatGPT. The general public, let alone kids, will have a hard time distinguishing fact from linguistic hallucination.
> If you live on your subscriptions channel, you never need to worry about content being thrown at you, or radicalization rabbit holes.

Ok, but you understand why someone might be weary that the most common first hit for someone might be an arbitrary youtube video given your premise is living on the channels you've subscribed to.

The bulk of youtube's content is garbage. You have to go sifting through the content over time, suffering through the recommendation engine (or a shortcut - ask friends who've already lived through that nightmare) to find the geese who lay the good eggs.
How is Google currently preventing others from "freely making their own browsers based on a standard browser engine"? In no way, as far as I can tell. They are paying for the vast majority of the browser engine development, and all the companies you list are free to then build high quality browsers with minimal cost and little in the way of engineering competence.
How fast a network are we talking about? SQLite can max out my NVMe drives, despite its internal serialization constraint. Thousands of connections at milliseconds is similar to a few connections at microseconds. Latency is everything.
I was an OpenBSD and FreeBSD user at that time DragonFly was announced so I remember the original fork. Improving SMP (or SMP at all) was a thing a few of the BSDs were working on around this time as I believe processors were starting to add hyper-threading. I think that was the core rationale for the fork but Matt Dillon had a few other things he was trying. There have been a few similar forks like this where someone wanted to go their own way some with better success than others.

See Annoucning DragonFly BSD!

I visited this in 70s as a kid with family as my father was trained for priesthood in CofE here. I was born in Cleethorpes but grew up in NZ and now reside in HK. An amazing site worthy of several days of exploration. Greta article.
in a banal sense this is true but the reality is less clear than the CICO folks would have you think. there are regulatory functions in the method for energy consumption (basal metabolic rate is not constant) and microbiota have a substantial effect both through their own metabolism and endocrine effects
Yeah, I've never struggled with weight the way other comments in this thread have, but I made similar changes when I was younger and they've been one of the best things I've done. I have one largish meal a day, with one smaller or a snack, and focus on low GI foods but in a mild way. When I get that "brain is bored" style hunger I go for tea with a squirt of water enhancer in it lately.
The literary life of Pessoa’s alter ego (2020)
This is GMG's MO. If it's not a Tesla shitpiece, it's another bloody slideshow.
I'm gonna to be blunt: after reading more reviews, I picked a very poor car to use as my example of a bad PHEV. Prius prime actually sounds like a pretty solid vehicle.

The general complaint that I hear about other PHEVs is that car manufacturers publish the "combined highway/ city" rating, which is weighted heavily in favor of city driving- which is where a PHEV is incredible thanks to regenerative braking.

But if you're not using the brakes and just driving a long distance, your battery stops helping after 30-ish minutes and now you're just in a gas car with an undersized engine carrying a very heavy battery.

Better to go pure EV instead, which is what I'm on a damned long waiting list to do right now.
I don't exactly agree with the article's comment that, "the fuel is ignited by the glowingly hot engine itself" - sort of implies the engine body proper is some hunk of hot glowing metal.

Wikipedia's description matches my memory that "the ignition is accomplished by a combination of heating from compression, heating from a glow plug and the catalytic effect of the platinum within the glow plug on the methanol within the fuel."
Which sensor did you go with?
It's faster than you think. :)
Laying people off reduces one of the biggest costs to an organization, thus making it more profitable (even if in the short term), thus the stock price rises. Stocks are always forward looking and investors believe that by cutting down costs and re-focusing will make amazon worth more in the future.
The author also falsely claimed that Google acquired Danger - it did not! I get the distinct impression that the thread is poorly researched, and I am therefore wary about the conclusions drawn.
Ah, I think I understand your previous comment a bit better now. Yes it's a fair point about the best place to enforce the invariants.
The cheap generics never appear till the last of the patents have expired regardless of demand.
In many cities they just bolt these support wires into adjacent buildings when there isnt a convienent lamp post.

Electrifying core parts of the route (eg: the most heavily travelled bottlenecks these trucks travel) could fix this issue, enabling charging and heating the battery and cab while still en route or plowing snow.
Calorie is not a calorie.

We now know, for example, that fibre is very good for our microbiome. Exclude it from your diet and you'll suffer.

So it is possible or not? Why the quotes?

I'd like to see you try (just salad as you wrote, no oils and animal based products, please).
Black man wrongfully jailed for a week after face recognition error, report says
Man, I'm really sick of this outlook. There's a whole solar system here full of unlimited space and resources.

What do you think most apps are? Frontends to some faraway backend web service. With some TLC most users wouldn't know the difference.
Ask HN: Stripe/Google/Apple squeezing the little guy?
Hi folks,

I started a small website as fun project. My goal was to create the fastest p2p content transfer site. It's a free site that allows anyone to send files p2p files. No signups needed. User can send a file anywhere in not more that 3 clicks.

It was a project that grew and gained some traction. I got feedback from customers who loved the simplicity.

Naturally, as it grew I needed to pay the bills for hosting and my DNS (about $20/month). This is where my difficulty began. Initially, I was able to accept stripe payments but then that got abruptly canceled. Stripe will not allow me accept payments, Google will not allow me to host ads, And apple will not allow me to distribute my app in the app store. I get vague reasons ranging from violation of TOS , hidden features in app, poor performance. I'm a solo developer and my app is far from perfect but it's very frustrating that I'll will be unable to generate any income to keep the service going even though it used by thousands of users. I'm old enough to remember a time when you could host ads on a self hosted blog without so much bureaucracy. It's troubling how centralized the internet has become over the years.

Are there any alternative tools for monetization that early stage founders can use? Essentially, in my business model, the site is free to use, but users can purchases namespace that they can own to transfer content. I'd would like a simple payment provider that can facilitate this.
Wasn't it Bulgakow who said that "you can't sell an idea but you can sell a manuscript"?

"for someone to even seriously consider touting that all websites work equally well in all browsers is just trying to be a troll in my book."

Who was touting that?

Meanwhile, I use Safari 100% of the time on the desktop and haven't encountered a problem with Netflix or anything else I can think of at the moment. I'm not saying that this one example disproves your claims; nor did I demand that you "list them off one by one." But by asking for examples to check out, I could actually join you in protesting against those who publish defective sites.

P.S. I just fired up Firefox 106.0.5, went to Netflix, and started watching a movie. So... I wonder what's up on your side.
>(maybe in 2 years for at least 10K, rite??)

grabbing the wheel and jerking hard left on the conversation, but this comment struck me as funny.

rite?? like getting a 10K raise in 2 years is a rite of passage that we should all be expecting to happen to all of us, right?
I'm not really sure what you're talking about then. What exactly is a .NET database? Every language has its own implementation of in-memory classes and instances, and these are translated over some protocol to a database that then translates to a on-disk format for persistence.

That's how they all work, with various trade-offs. If you want a ".NET database", the only example would be to simply dump the in-memory bytes to disk, which you can through the various serializers in the framework.
I'm going to try this because I recently fell off the OMAD wagon, and it usually takes me 3 solid days of white-knuckling it to get back to it feeling natural without wanting to eat during the day. Wondering if some plain celery or olive oil can ease the transition.
Does this mean if an obese person took this drug for 2-5 years, changed their diet to eat less, they’d keep it off?
> I ran little snitch for about a week years ago and there were hundreds of thousands of requests just from typical apple services so trying to curate that list was an exercise in futility.

It is difficult to set up, but it's still possible. One of the main reasons I use Little Snitch is to stop Apple from phoning home to Cupertino so much, to take some control back for myself.

There are a ton of background processes on the Mac that can be blocked with no negative consequences AFAICT. Occasionally I trip myself up, but I'm willing to accept that consequence.

I've sometimes thought of publishing my Little Snitch setup, but the problem is that I'm typically 1 major macOS version behind, including now. A lot tends to change from version to version.
Serious question: does anyone still trust supermicro?

I have them on my mental blacklist since the reveal they were injecting backdoors into their hardware.

I also dont trust shell games under the label of "changing suppliers" when supposedly the hardware backdoors were added on US soil.

Probably the best after Meta and Airbnb from what I've seen. Looks like most large companies have been generous with their severances with the exception of Twitter (not sure about Amazon).
This is false.

You burn ~50 calories per hour doing nothing.

You're saying that the only way to live longer is to lay down and do nothing and IV ~50 calories per hour into your body.

You're not going to live very long like that.

You're obviously not going to live very long if you simply never eat and starve to death.
If you follow up about the nonexistent function, it will often implement it for you.

The other thing that I've had success with is asking for references for the information, which will often link you to the relevant docs.
And who is going to buy all those things?
The human tag on google wouldn't even be a new idea. Stack overflow already has a "not a robot" badge and there around 1.100 of us - don't trust the rest.

On the other hand our standard tests of verifying humans on the internet are more and more failing. Captchas are easier to solve by robots or have to accept that humans aren't perfect either, especially as a herd. Just yesterday I've seen a motorbike being accepted in a "mark the bicycle" challenge.
JWS (the thing that the author is complaining about) involves a canonicalization step to resolve that footgun.

I think Steve Jobs, as great as he was, didn't initially grasp the immense money these setups can make.
It's been a couple years since I daily drove FreeBSD on, my desktop/workstation and I never ran it on a laptop. Still chugging along on my home built NAS(read: shitty old tower with a bunch of disks in it) though.

I switched over from Arch on the desktop for a couple years at one point, and overall I was very happy. The FreeBSD project is still going strong, and they've been greatly improving their Linux syscall compat layer the last few years. ZFS support is great. It's perfectly viable as a desktop OS if you're experienced with Arch and you don't use a lot of weird hardware or software.

What I did when switching was just to install it and start slowly rebuilding my Arch setup as much as possible. It's a fun weekend project with some patience, and you'll quickly find what the pain points might be that way.
I mean, I have a conspiracy theory that the new Edge was a coup to destroy Microsoft's web platform from within by "former" Google employees hired by Microsoft that I could spin you.

But Alex is just very much promoting the concept that Chromium be the sole standard implementation for the web.
Yeah having good colleagues makes a big difference. You all support each other against a common enemy. I once worked for a very-much-not-minimum-job dysfunctional company where even the colleagues were jerks. That was pretty bad. Luckily that is the only bad experience I have had. Most companies I worked for in my career were pretty good.
Same thing happened during COVID-19.
The Jetex Heyday
This would be fantastic as a free bonus with purchase of the ebook, but I'd be extremely reluctant to actually purchase an AI audiobook. Doesn't seem worth it.
Ha that last is the truest advice ever. I trust some people to end up at good decisions, but in the flux, there are many silly things tried, thought, and proposed. Don't even trust your past self too much.
> without even a vote
I’m not sure I follow what kind of “vote” you mean here. The legal framework behind the decision has been in discussion since at least 10 years ago, and most EU countries and the EU parliaments are democratically elected. The lawmaking progress in the EU parliament also is very open to public scrutiny and feedback, and the privacy laws went through it. This all supports the idea that the right to privacy online is pretty much a core value supported by most of the EU population, one which they have been supporting through their votes and participation in the law-making for many years.

And if your implied suggestion was that the business model of company X (and whatever benefit they may provide through this model) is a more important vote than the basic value of privacy, or that the issue of cost was not brought to the table enough times for people to understand the trade-offs, then I guess my understanding of how democracy works is different than yours.
Are coverarts also different across platform?
Incredible. I had this exact idea rolling around in my head. Could something be trained to decompile binaries to source in a readable way? We have vast source code available and can build the binaries.

Tell that to the young Greeks that have had their cultural items sold via corrupt political channels.
A lot of folks will claim all of this is just survivorship bias, but I believe there are lessons to learn. For example most of the extremely successful software products produced by small teams have a heavy focus on UX. Arguably, it is nearly impossible to achieve in a big team, because UX is a bottleneck that is hard to scale.

I also find it really sad that a lot of the small teams who are on the road to success get distracted by applying "best practices" that were built for big teams (e.g. Google uses kubernetes, we should too).
> Rather, it sounds like they want to run their EV plows like they run their regular plows.

Probably because they have to use regular dollars to buy one or the other: cost-effectiveness cannot be ignored.
An ode to Quora and bilingual friends
If you're not eating every other day you can still go to the eating place and sit with folks. Also you can just talk more since they have to eat and you don't. Sounds like MORE socializing.

Rosetta is closer to QEMU than to v8 or Hotspot. Granted, it benefits from an insanely large out of order execution engine, but it shows that there's only so much you need to optimize when translating assembly code.

The one time I installed Facebook I found it inferior because it was ironically less native than the website.

Through the website photo uploads used my phone's native image picker which integrates with services I've chosen to use.

The app used it's own image picker which was limited to photos that were saved to my phone.

"it's relatively easy to be in a light to medium information dense conversation and still meditate with ease"

This is to my surprise also. As one who has recently taken up this technique of constantly meditating - it all goes out the window immediately in any human interaction. Maybe this is social anxiety, but I'd appreciate any tips that allow you to do this.
Lol same. So I decided to finally make it over new years.
Another solution to this problem is to get a standalone numpad and assign the keys as hotkeys. Lots of macro apps allow different functions to be assigned to specific keyboards.
In general layoffs especially when they are proactive, which in this case they seem to be, show investors that the company is being fiscally responsible. This isn't an indication that Amazon is going to increase profitability it's a sign to investors that they are taking in recession indicators and adapting accordingly. It doesn't seem malicious it seems perfectly reasonable and sane. Of course it's Amazon so there is another layer of context, but this is a rational and normal investor response.
Battered by Covid, China Hits Pause on Giant Chip Spending Aimed at Rivaling US
A business is run to maximize shareholder value. Cutting costs is part of that equation.
A friend of mine was hired by Salesforce in January. He worked there for six months. In that time, he did the haphazard onboarding they offered him... and that was it. Every day, he would ask his manager for work. Every day, his manager would tell him to hang in there, work was coming soon.

He never did a single moment of actual money-making or money-saving work for the company. They paid him about $50,000 for the privilege. Exhausted by the absurdity of the situation, he quit, and is now making substantially more money elsewhere... but also has actual work to do.

Nice gig if you can get it, I guess.
And of course, the modern solution is to get them addicted to a new drug!

The top comment even recommends that everyone should be taking it. Yikes.
Warren Buffett has mentioned in several interviews that he doesn’t think intelligence much above average is required to be a good investor and may actually be a hinderance. Investing, like high-level poker, is about having a sound strategy and sticking to it. Eventually if you play enough hands you should end up on top. Most people can’t do this because emotions get in the way.

It is why investing in an S&P 500 Index fund and not touching it tends to out perform even professional investors. It is a sound strategy and eliminates human judgement. If you are thinking about getting into investing start with small amounts and learn the hard lessons. Panic selling and buying is a very hard emotion to overcome.
This comment is confusing because you're talking about the article by a different author linked from the post, not the linked post itself.
If the EV plows aren't drop-in replacements for ICE plows, then they are not fit for service.

Be an EV fanboi all you want. There are practical tasks that must be accomplished, and if one option achieves those tasks while another doesn't then the one that couldn't needs to either meet the competition or drop out.
That makes sense but it may also be that you just need to make different social circles. There are tons of casual sports teams, for example, and those people are all bonding over playing volleyball casually (not at a high level or something) or things like hiking.

Good diets are simply a healthy human diet, which should not send your body into panic after an adjustment period.

This is similar to exercise. You body goes through a period of panic and resistance.

This is why consistency is important for both diet and exercise, so you dont have to struggle and battle to rebuild the habit.
