I think this is the key point:

> But still, people who read have always been in the minority. And I think that’s what most people who think that “video is the future” don’t get. Sure, people are getting lazier and they want you to feed them content.

> But think about it. Do you really want to serve those types of people?!

The number of people online reading blogs when they were the 'most popular' form of content creation was far lower than the number watching videos or using social media sites or what not.

Statistically there are probably more people writing blogs now, and more people reading them. They've just become less of a percentage of the overall internet audience than they were back before YouTube and Twitch and TikTok and podcasts became big things online.

So while it may seem like those people abandoned blogging, you have to ask yourself whether they would have ever cared for it to begin with.

I shoot lots of 120mm on a Mamiya 7 and am currently stuck with an Epson V600 as my best option. Unfortunately, the scanning experience sucks for 6x7 photos because of how not-long the bed is. You can only scan two 6x7 photos at a time, and then have to turn the film around. It's a tedious process that means most of my film remains unscanned.

As others have mentioned here I am also looking into trying to fauxscan with a DSLR and a macro lens, but I'm also wondering if there is enough of a market/interest in a more DIY/FOSS scanning project.

I've considered trying to build something more standard that could be printed or manufactured, that combines some small pointgrey (CV) cameras and macro lens, a light, and some film rolling mechanism to keep the film tight - the idea being that you could basically "scan" the film as a moving roll, scanning a whole 120mm roll in seconds. Pointgrey cameras also have a great api, so you could actually build software on top of it.

I've long thought about putting time to this, but the intersection of pro film shooters and programmers is so small that I'm not sure it would be worth it. If anyone else is interested in the idea, I'd be happy to collaborate on it!
The movie The Core begs to differ.
I wrote a free PDF editor (open a PDF, edit, export a PDF), my users edit around 500,000 PDF files every month.

I have been gradually improving it for the past five years. It is a part of my photo editor https://www.Photopea.com. I know really a lot about PDF, I wish I didn't know that much :D I am glad to see that there are others who try to "make sense" of PDF files instead of just rendering them :)

** fun fact: Often, a PDF contains text as an array of characters, each has its X and Y coordinate and a style (white characters omitted). It is up to you to "cluster" them into words, lines, paragraphs ...

** Often, PDF text is made uneditable (on purpose). You see a text "Hello", but in fact, there is a text "bsiin", and a font, which renders "b" with a shape that looks like a letter "H", "s" as "e", and so on. If you open that PDF in a PDF viewer, select "Hello" and copy-paste it elsewhere, you get "bsiin".
As far as I know those basically only exist in a few major US cities. Some smaller metro areas have alternatives -- Illegal Pete's in CO's Front Range comes to mind, or Mighty Taco in Buffalo -- but if you're driving across the country, or in a rural or suburban area, Chipotle is frequently the only non-fried fast casual option.
Unfortunately, the existence of the law cartel does not make this ok. The solution is to break down the law cartel so that there are more mediocre bar members that can facilitate the AI argument being made.

You can represent yourself (where applicable) or you can have representation. That representation is an officer of the court and must adhere to professional standards to maintain their license and bar membership. Even if you could force an algorithm to adhere to professional standards, it’s unlikely that it could be legitimately considered an officer of the court any time soon.

I can't access the article due to the paywall, but I do have a take worth sharing.

I think there's a perfect synergy between:

1. Corporates being an immensely near sighted form of human interaction,

2. Creation of massive, high-maintenance assets when relevant labor and money was cheaper,

In the two senses above, core business software is not that different from e.g. the NYC train system or indeed virtually any other utility in the US.
The symmetric flow of information back and forth between yourself and the AI assistant is the key distinction here. It's a very beneficial, symbiotic relationship.

The problem will be the asymmetric, uni-directional flow to those whose sole function is mindless consumption of AI-generated content.

The fact these cases made it to SCOTUS basically ensures there were multiple legal theories that arguably correct. If there was only one true interpretation, the cases would have been solved by a lower court. Then SCOTUS itself was split (along partisan lines no less).

So this will not show me replies to my comments, it is just showing comments with different layout? It's not very clear from title and description.

I am following my comments through threads button in top, though it's not so easy to notice which have new reply and everything need to be checked manually.

Imagine that I'm an employer and I am hiring for a position that I think could generate $1.5M/yr in value for the company. I'm probably willing to pay the perfect person $1M/yr for that (plus 20-25% in fringe expenses).

Some people might want all cash; others might want mostly RSUs. I'd want to pay the first person $900K in cash and $100K in shares. I'd want to pay the second person $100K in cash and $900K in shares.

The law requires me to post only the cash portion of their compensation; from the above facts, my range is quite genuinely $100K to $900K.
Great feedback, will try to add that feature soon.
A lot of people are still using them, especially in the IndieWeb scene. I came across this really cool blog last night (click the different theme switchers in the top right) and the author is using one:

"Study suggests", I generally avoid or at least read with more speculation as well as source checking with buzz word terminology such as this, facts support evidence, suggestions assume. Also n=1 study "suggests" lack of other supporting material.
It's worth taking a tour by clicking on particular objects that will zoom in close and show each object as seen by space probes that have visited. E.g. 21Lutetia that was photographed by Rosetta in 2010 is a 90km diameter oblong rotating once every 8 hours with three separate sets of impact craters in tight groups showing the impacts in each group were likely fragments of single objects. The craters are about 10-20km across.
Fast food? HA! That’s for the common man. Not me. I cook every meal and haven’t eaten out in 50 years.
This is a colossally stupid idea in my opinion. A lot of people, especially outside the US, will probably revert to SMS as the most stable and ubiquitous solution. But hey, what do I know...

I don't like the term credential stuffing. It is inaccurate by definition. Stuffing - "a material or substance used to stuff something".

I know right? You can build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.
Doesn't matter how much security software you have, when the root password is written on a note posted on the front door.

Similarly it don't matter how many times people have had "firearm safety" explained to them, if they'll insist on pointing a firearm at someone and pulling the trigger.

That is the failure that matters here. That is the action that should not have been performed even if the gun was a lump of rubber.
nice :) thanks for making this for us
I missed that there was a posting on HN about Netflix's posted salary ranges a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34268691. There were people in there that knew Netflix employees who got 700k-1M pay packages, so in reality it doesn't seem like the top end of the range is definitely out of the question. I'm pretty sure the bottom end though is way below what they would actually pay for these posted senior engineer positions.
ChatGPT says that all it needs are separate components trained on every modality.

Yes, all you have to do is train it using multiple examples of every possible situation and combinations thereof --- which is practically impossible.
totally - info overload is already a huge problem, and only going to get worse.
If I am having some problem with the federal government, I can call up my local representative and their office will help me sort it out. If it's a situation where I'm being treated unfairly or not according to the law, a sternly written letter from the representative usually sorts things out. If it is a case of the law being unjust, they might get the law changed, if it's not a politically difficult problem.

You might find it surprising that this actually happens in a country of 330M people and just 435 representatives, but it does. In part because only a small percentage of people need this service, but everyone benefits from having it as a contingency plan. Helping a single constituent can pay big dividends at election time as they tell their friends, family, and social media about your help. Likewise, not helping can cause great harm as you alienate your voter base.
One conversation I've noticed going on recently re Twitter and social media is the power of owned media, like podcast, email, and blogs, over walled gardens. Blogs, maybe "personal websites", are a home base. Maybe not the whole solution but a foundation.
I don't. It sucks. Although, it does pay ok money.
>I'd guess 99% of people, like me, sort a group every time they add a file though.

I definitely do, as I find makes it quicker to find stuff as project grows in size.

The behaviour of Finder in MacOS (7.1 was my first version) of remembering the position of folders & files I never found that helpful, and in particular it made working on other peoples' machines really hard since you constantly wanted to clean-up or reorder to what made sense to you but didn't want to mess with their preferences (or their particular personal chaos, as it sometimes was).
I put my name first, because I do the taxes and have all the data at hand for myself.

Afterwards I get what I need to fill I my wife’s form.
Show HN: Precloud – Dynamic tests for infrastructure-as-code
Infrastructure as code (IaC) often fails during deployment due to dynamic constraints such as name collisions, quota limits and other resource-specific constraints that devs run halfway into an IaC deployment. We witnessed this first hand at TinyStacks and built precloud - an open-source framework to define and run dynamic tests before IaC deployments.

The precloud framework currently supports Terraform and AWS CDK with several default checks (unique names, service quota checks and more) and ability to define your own!
> And obviously the writing and ideograms is something that every one of them had to painstakingly memorise over 15 years of schooling...

Designing in a colour blind world
Man alive, I just got a Technorati flashback.

Remember Technorati tags? If you were at all vaguely technical, you HAD to add Technorati tags to your blog, so the Technorati search would find and classify your blog.

The Future Was Then!
Currently, I added post comment option. Add this feature request. So, you can use this feature soon. Stay tuned.
Until 2022, I think everyone in engineering at Netflix had the title "Senior Software Engineer" - so that might actually make sense for them specifically. But, IIRC, they recently introduced levels, which makes this feel more petty.
Seems good for negotiation. If a company offers you $180k, (given that range) they're implying you're in the lowest 10% of your field. Ask why they're willing to hire you if you're so terrible. If you're in the top 25%, you should be worth $700k.
Based on all the comments in this thread about people not going to Chipolte anymore due to quality issues, I wonder if there is a slow moving collapse moving through the restaurant industry where they are losing customers permanently and haven't realized the impact yet.

If this is the case, I wonder how long the stock market will take to internalize this. I work for a large legacy F500 company that is internally a disaster and ticking time bomb, yet I look at the stock price and cannot believe how it continues to slowly go up.

It really made me realize the stock market has no actual clue on how companies are really doing. Its all a bunch of nonsense.

This is why I think about other industries that have already internally collapsed but the world hasn't realized it yet.
It would be interesting to see whether a label emerges, to denote content created pre-chatGPT; ex: certified pre-2023 AI-free content.

Also, it would be possible to train bots on an archive of such material.(accordingly, out of date; so less useful in numerous ways).
Is this kind of like Auth0 but with more common features built in, or is something like auth0, AzureAD still needed in order to issue jwts?
I'm not sure a short sentence, stating a preference as a global best practise without further explanation/reference, counts as evaluation and commentary.

This shows the sort of lack in interpersonal skills that us nerds are often associated with. Are you sure you aren't one of us? :)
Well, for me I don't want anything like that. I think the site works better without becoming like other sites with all the bells and whistles. But each to his own.
I would say even earlier than 2008, at least if my memory is not betraying me.

I guess it depends of your definition of blog, but I remember Fotolog being incredibly popular circa 2006 even when compared to mainstream social networks. While Wikipedia says it's a social network, I recall it was used mostly for blogging (not so much for social interaction).

And IIRC, when Google acquired Blogger (2003) blogging was not exactly a obscure thing, although I don't think I knew anyone with a personal blog back then.
Probably as investments
I'm not entirely sure whether to praise or condemn them for it, but OpenAI has chosen to keep their initial introduction/company plan publicly available on their site: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai/

----

"OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.

...

As a non-profit, our aim is to build value for everyone rather than shareholders. Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world. We’ll freely collaborate with others across many institutions and expect to work with companies to research and deploy new technologies."

----

My mocking about OpenAI(tm)(c) was not just juvenile "Micro$oft" type nonsense. At some point they discovered they could make a buck, and their ideology suddenly shifted 180. I have no qualms whatsoever about businesses pursuing profit, but the entity currently known as OpenAI couldn't be much further from the principles and values OpenAI was founded on, and their name itself is rapidly trending towards becoming a "Don't Be Evil" type of sardonicism. If this was Microsoft, Google, or other such companies operating in this way - I wouldn't have any expectation of anything besides what OpenAI is doing.

Companies tend to get quite a lot of credit when claiming some socially motivated interest, probably much more than deserved. So when they turn against those ideals, it should be noted - loudly.
If you were to ask what is the probability that this specific error happens again, I would think it would be pretty low. Probably lower than a week ago. If you were to ask what is the probability that some significant, costly error happens again, I don't think the probability is that much lower than a week ago.
Except Netflix compensation is famously all-cash (with the option to buy Netflix options with some portion of that cash monthly).

I suspect choosing Mexico was deliberate. Mexico won’t mandate low-sulphur diesel for a few years. If the SO2 in the balloon happens to be sourced from diesel, then legally this is moving pollution using latex.
The law requires they actually list the absolute maximum for the position so if they ever pay $900k they need to list it. This means they list a low end that is unrealistic so that people think the whole range isn’t serious and it doesn’t turn into almost everyone applying wanting $800-900k.
The fact that it happened so long ago makes it more likely to happen sooner. Also, my understanding is that we don't really have a good grasp of what's out there outside of of the immediate vicinity of Earth. There are millions and millions of them hurling through our system. A planet-killer can show up on our radar any day.
I totally automate my roles on projects all the time so I can move on to more interesting things. I guess you mean that no one wants to be fired, but I don't see how that can result from automating one's work.

Also, I HATE doing repetitive things. Some people seem to like it though. To each their own, I guess. Reminds me of https://youtu.be/wNVLOuQNgpo
I work for a company that writes a lot of the fundamental technology for car dealers. In most cases you probably are getting actual handwritten notes from salespeople. They’ll absolutely put that minimal effort into lead generation.
I can’t recall the last time anyone asked me about shit on my resume - tbh.

It’s all kinda pointless. People do leetcode, system design, and then a (series of) manager interview(s). They don’t often ask me much about stuff directly from my resume - especially for technologies or skill cloud related shit.
I'm saying there are applications where you don't have to know! As long as the fraction incorrect is less than 50 % and you have 2:1 odds on the consequences you don't have to know which 50 % are incorrect.
Good point. Is it correct to say that on a long enough timescale, self-produced content is cheaper than licensed content? Or is the production cost so high that that basically doesn't matter?

Makes a lot of sense to push the content that folks can ONLY get on your platform, since that's a reason for customers to stick around. It's too bad they overdo it to the point where I actively dismiss (and get annoyed by constant promotions of) Netflix shows unless a personal friend indicates one is actually worth watching.
