Many people suggest that you can auto-backup with whatever other tool works, and indeed there are a few choices.

But that misses the point, which is that in Google Photos you can manage the same collection from the phone or from the web. Adding a pic to an album should feel the same, no matter whether the pic is already synced or not yet synced.

The glitch isn’t in ffmpeg, it’s in the receiving phone since you sent them a format which isn’t supported by that phone’s hardware decoder. The trick of youtube isn’t just a quick upload, it’s the auto transcoding to formats for anything that requests it over any arbitrary link speed.
It probably comes from this statement:

PTSD comes from trauma, and trauma is subjective. This statement above, intended or not, comes across as dismissive.

You don’t organize your inbox. You manage your emails. Stop ignoring emails, don’t let them pile up. At least once a day:

Unsubscribe from anything you don’t need or care about.

For actionable items either reply or move them to a task, note, calendar event, or tag & archive.

Use tags rather than folders for saved emails.

Get to inbox zero as often as you can. It’s not a cult, just proof you can organize your emails.
> who fired AI ethics researchers for their research in AI bias that Google did not like

I'm no fan of Google, but this seriously glosses over a rather complex situation. A paper may have been the catalyst, but I'd argue definitely not the reason for the firings. You can't just demand things with the threat of quitting, then act surprised when you're terminated.

> This statement above, intended or not, comes across as dismissive

My thought as well. It gives me slight "victim-blaming" vibes, "If you would've defended yourself you wouldn't be traumatized now."

If it would be that easy to prevent trauma, it wouldn't be such an issue. Trauma is not a decision, the only influence you have is how well you're able to handle it after it occurs, and even then it can be overwhelming for some and they need external help or even medication.

Now I'm not saying that OP is a bad person for thinking what they think, but they shouldn't generalize mental health issues just because they experienced them in a certain way.

Same can be applied to depression, burnout, suicidal thoughts etc. If you're able to handle these things without issues, perfect! Good for you. Just don't apply this to every other depressed/burned out/suicidal person.
So I wasn't skeptical in the way you found it, but it did sound a heck lot to me like tradition numerical solution of PDEs...but with NNs in there somehow.

Not sure what you mean by that, hypervisor is what allows the VMs to exist.

Anyway, containers are a Linux thing so I use a Linux laptop when working with containers. No VM is needed and life is great.
Kudos to being honest about your previous silly ideas.
Meditation has been the most life changing thing for me, the only thing that without any external tools has been able to silence my mind.

Had to learn to meditate when working at a mobile game company, and under a lot of stress. Could not quiet my mind when going to sleep, so I started learning meditation in the game room of the company. 2 minutes at first, then 5, and so on.

Now I try to meditate every day at least 18 minutes, which feels like a good amount where my mind is quiet and I can defrag the thought processes and let them go.

The writer reflects nicely the strong ideas that we attach to and think as of truths in our lifes. I now understand a little bit better why some people like to push their wrongful agendas to others, so thanks for this reflection moment.

I can reveal one of my silly ideas, I used to not want to consume any dairy products, as part of me believed that "you are what you eat", and I did not want to be a cow, an easily controllable herd animal.

This made my life too difficult for too many years, until I finally through help from a friend and lots of inner reflection, managed to let go of this thought. I might have pushed this idea to others also in my fiery moments, so I can relate to this writing in some way.
It looks like most of what you're objecting to is the style of the storytelling.

But to the parts that aren't, I'm open to be convinced. Tell me what you think is unrealistic in the substance of the narrative, and tell me how you came to know how these things work better than the rest of us.

I know from many jobs that the image we would like to preserve for outsiders about how you work, especially in leadership and decision making, is a lot prettier and competent than how it actually works. Hearsh's source tells a story about a messy process, which he sounds, despite it all, kind of proud that still worked. Only he thinks the whole thing should never have happened. I can totally relate to that. It's completely different from typical conspiratorial stories (including some of Hearsh's).

And you sound, unfortunately, like one trying to defend the reputation and preserve the prestige and mystique of planners and decision makers in hierarchical institutions. All that's missing now is that you reply with some variant of a huffy "think what you will" to this.

But you can try to prove me wrong, by spelling out in detail what's so implausible about the sources story.

It says it uses an over-lay network? If the topology is just like:

peer A <---> overlay (server N ...) <---> Peer B

And your design is to try get packets between the peers then this is going to be very slow. They will have to go via the routes on the overlay network which may have multiple virtual hops to reach their destination. This is a massive increase in round trip time. I'm not sure if I understand the solution right though as I took a brief look. But I don't see how this solves port forwarding or NAT issues as the actual instances still need to be publicly reachable.

I wrote a library for peer-to-peer networking recently and unlike libraries like Libp2p -- my emphasis was on getting direct connectivity to work between peers. I'm not using an overlay for this. I use a range of techniques [direct cons, reverse con, tcp hole punching, TURN] to make the connections happens. With some minor signalling traffic happening over public MQTT servers.

My software is at https://github.com/robertsdotpm/p2pd if anyone finds it interesting. Sorry for the shameless self-plug but I figure it is related. We're both free open source projects. I don't provide a tunnelling solution but you could easily build something like ngrok with this software without relying on proxying as the primary solution. Currently the software has no way to easily get another peers 'address' so using this will need to solve that problem. But a simple key-value store would be enough tbh. Going to improve usability when I next have time.
They're the one saying people at SO aren't nice. My guess is just that the person feels that way after getting pushback from their own behavior / attitude. I feel it's a trend, I see lots of toxic comments from people "having given up SO", and I think to myself that it's a good thing..

For what it's worth: DaVinci has both a free and a paid version - and the paid version is not even 300$. If you're an indie filmmaker or hobbyist, it's certainly a better offering than a Premiere Pro subscription unless your muscle memory is trained too hard on Adobe tooling.

Good Math a Geek's Guide to the Beauty of Numbers, Logic, and Computation
I mean, I am all in for updating your opinions, but I remember his blog post about Why We Sleep where he tried to shit and basically discredit whole book, talking so authoritatively and now 3 years later he does 180 switch?

I think this just shows, trust the scientist that spend their whole years studying stuff like sleep. Don't trust random self proclaimed "internet scientists". Best would be to find experts that are humble about what they are unsure of what the field knows.

He spent 100 hours trying to debunk the book, but it just shows - if you are highly motivated and biased to prove something you are emotionally motivated to find you will find the way.

I do the same. I believe random bullshit that can change my mind and preach it to my friends and then 2 months later I change my mind. I am sorry to my friends, but at least I don't post blogposts trying to debunk scientists

Tesla’s former head of AI joins Elon Musk-founded OpenAI
That is already possible as long as the machine you are hosting photoprism on is already open to the internet. You can create a shareable link to an album (dont know about individual pictures) which gives people read-only access to that specific album and nothing else
With the popularity of ChatGPT in the news, I've seen on many occasions now where the headline would refer to OpenAI as having been founded or co-founded by Elon Musk. Granted it makes a good lead story inserting Musk into it but how true is this claim? I hope karpathy can put this question to rest: can Elon Musk claim to be a co-founder of OpenAI in the true sense of being part of the founding team? (Recall the Tesla founders story.)

According to the blog entry at https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai/, the founding members are:

"OpenAI’s research director is Ilya Sutskever, one of the world experts in machine learning. Our CTO is Greg Brockman, formerly the CTO of Stripe. The group’s other founding members are world-class research engineers and scientists: Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba."

Elon Musk is mentioned as a donor. And so is AWS, Infosys, and Reid Hoffman.

"Sam, Greg, Elon, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research are donating to support OpenAI. In total, these funders have committed $1 billion"

Surely, donors cannot claim to be founders of OpenAI, the same as how VCs cannot claim to be the founders of startups they fund. If this were the case, then Jeff Bezos, owner of AWS then, could have the same claim as a co-founder of OpenAI.
Retroshare may not be viable as a worlwide social network but it is definitely useful for smaller circles, families, etc.

AFAIK it is still maintained.

This will change at some point. The inexorable march of technology.
Carbon fiber is indeed superior in many ways, but it’s also very expensive. At least that’s the impression I get from it being used only in expensive cars.

So it seems to only be worth it if it doesn’t increase the total cost of a new wind turbine by too much compared to the added efficiency.
I agree.
I also recommend using t3-stack with supabase/firebase.

That burnable folder icon is pretty fun. If you drag it to the Finder sidebar, it has a special icon too. I opened terminal, and did "mkdir Test.fpbf", then in Finder, navigated to the home directory and dragged that folder to the left sidebar. It shows up with a "nuke" icon to the left, and a grey nuke icon to the right.

When I was much younger, I loved Hackathons. I never won anything substantial but it was usually (i) the best designed app in a Hackathon or (ii) idea that can spawn a product/startup/company.

The best part, I made life-long friends. Well, a good friend, then a hackathon friend became my neighbor (he has his own company now). He knows how to "hack" a hackathon and every time I see him, he won either the first or the second.

I was so much into hackathons that I bought a hot domain during the 2008-crash recovery (2010-11-ish) and was running tiny hackathons. I ended up selling the domain for a not-so-bad enough sum.

Recently I was the "external judge" for a company hackathon and the common theme of the comment from the participant were "you are different." I love that.

Anyone running a hackathon and want me to judge, I'm here (online or in Bangalore, India). I can speak design, tech, and business in the same breath. ;-)
The Future of Copper
ChatGPT and the Attention Economy
Social media turned human attention into a commodity. AI can be used as an attention multiplier to fight back.
Let's forget about the solar cells (there's not that many on this bike) - e-bikes really are extremely eco-friendly. Your points are not correct and I want to point out why:

> It's expensive

It's cheap. An e-bike like this costs as much as some of the extras on a car.

> it's not going to do much good for your health

This is just incorrect - if you have an e-bike, you are way more likely to use it compared to a muscle powered bike, and you are going to ride longer distances with it. In sum, the positive health effects of using an e-bike regularily are larger than using a muscle-powered one.

> compare it to a reasonably light "ordinary" bike, driven by muscle power, this is nowhere near "eco"

if you count calories, and are on an average omnivore diet, e-bikes are actually more efficient than muscle-powered bikes. it's eco.

> leave the pedals out and be honest about it

?? not sure what you mean with honest?

> in a few years when it's out of fashion

opinion: e-bikes are not a fashion, but here to stay. it's far less trash than a car.

The gasoline-electro argument is kind of true for cars though, electric cars are not eco, just slightly better than gas cars.
As a dumb person with too much money, I avoided Steam Deck and instead went for a slightly more powerful and perhaps 4 times as expensive gaming laptop with AMD CPU and GPU. I installed Nobara Linux[0] on it and everything has been pretty much perfect.

Certainly I have to thank Steam for making all this work so well. Just a year ago things were in a much worse shape. If I was in this situation again, I would certainly save a thousand+ euros and get a Steam Deck instead.

It's clearly not allowed. People shouldn't be surprised when their answer gets closed. The goal of stack overflow is to build a quality mapping from questions to answers. There is no way to map a subjective question to an answer.
Agreed.

Also the comparison is between Google versus Dropbox (the underdog David that's analogous to OpenAI), not Google versus Amazon or even Google versus Microsoft.

Google is 51% of office productivity software market versus Microsoft. Microsoft is at 47%, Dropbox isn't even listed. [1]

Dropbox has a decent share of the personal cloud storage market but has really failed to expand beyond that vertical or become significantly profitable. [2]

Many questions get dupe-hammered within seconds of being asked because it remotely resembles an older question. If it doesn't get dupe hammered, the platform encourages other users to answer as quickly as possible to appear on top. Unfortunately, this promotes many dangerously unsafe answers. Many articles have reported on the high number of security vulnerabilities in accepted and highly upvoted answers.

However, even when ignoring all that, if you really ask a "well-researched and well-articulated question" on a complex matter, you will not get an answer in most cases. For those after reputation points, it is far easier to answer simple questions. You are far better off raising it as a GitHub issue if it is an open-source framework.
> Ads came to "save" the internet from this problem. I really hate them and I wish we had a better model, but they seem a necessary evil as people just got used to believe that all digital things are free when they obviously cost something, and that still shows today in the apps stores.

Advertising worked just fine for more than a century, ever since the invention of consumerist society. (How much of that is really necessary in a society that is pushing headlong into unsustainability is another, bigger story.)

The disaster we have now in our hands is of a more immediate and crass nature.

Think about it: there are algorithmic breakthroughs that can help everybody on the planet raise their level of information retrieval and the only discussion is which of the former or the current consumer tech oligopolies will use it best to push ads and how to double down on a bad design.
Yeah it would. Where there is a gap someone it something will fill it. It's just a matter of tech maturing and someone rubbing some coins together
What? Webrings?

Don't tell me you forgot Yahoo, Excite, Altavista, Lycos, and all those other search engines existed! Lycos also had hotbot and tripod.com, back when homepages were your internet presence instead of social media.

I know all that. I just thought you might like to do another pass editing your piece. It is your marketing material at this stage. It would be nice if it gave people a clearer impression of what the capabilities are and where trustfall is positioned in relation to SQL, GraphQL, and other stuff. I came away a bit suspicious of your claims because I didn’t understand them when I first read it.

My only question about the actual code is whether you can write these indices to do hash lookups across data sources. Can I avoid table scans when joining two data sets from different adapters?
