The car has the light and is already contributing to being able to see and avoid the pedestrian.

The pedestrian now has an independent choice to wear clothing that helps make themself visible or clothing that makes them harder to see. Their own safety will be affected by their choice.

I wouldn’t pass a law requiring it, but I do choose light/visible clothes for myself and for my family when out at night.

Ask HN: Is there a market for community revenue sharing bootstrapping?
I read the post about being paid for open source and how they took a page from the SaaS handbook to create a pricing page and offer add-on services

I feel getting people to pay for things is extremely difficult if you have zero experience building a product.

On one hand you have people that are highly resistant to paying for things: perhaps organisational culture, not having resources or not wanting or being capable of spending money or not having permission. In my experience of reading about Software developers they prefer not to pay for the tools they use. Generalisation.

If I had to pay for my open source stack, it would be expensive because of the value provided.

So my idea is why isn't there a company that provides payment services that offers expensive software in return for a proportion of revenue?

You could have a community website that was pay-as-you-go that offered payments integration for automatic collection of revenue.

The idea being, build your side project with us and you'll pay as you go

The company would be designed around a scalable architecture that can handle rapid growth. You rely on clients to drive revenue and you win.

I didn't realize OpenJDK targets systems without filesystems. That's cool. I thought the Java Smart Card days are behind and the Java folks only care about server applications now. However having a requirement that all tests be inline seems a bit onerous. Do they inline images as well for testing BufferedImage and company?

I can see how an external file makes it a bit more of an "integration test" that would in effect be testing several moving pieces. I don't agree it would create more boiler plate or make things any less clear though. It makes it much easier to test many different complex and large inputs and to feed in new tests without needing to recompile. It's also easy to version control and introduce new tests with pathological cases. It presents a clear separation of test inputs from code - but maybe I can understand the counterargument. It does look neater to have everything together
In the context of the u.s. system of capitalism, "non-profit" does not equate to "non-capitalist". The institutions still serve capital (if we look to Marx's conception of capital as a process) -- at the very least, in avoidance of taxes, R&D to ultimately increase productivity, pacification of potential insurgent action (e.g. Andrew Carnegie's intent). We should distinguish between the role of local, community run organizations and "non-profits" that receive millions in funding from venture _capitalists_.

A few discussions here https://www.teenvogue.com/story/non-profit-industrial-comple...

"Under the nonprofit-corporate complex, the absorption of radical movements is ensured through the establishment of patronage relationships between the state and/or private capital and social movements. Ideological repression and institutional subordination is based on “a bureaucratized management of fear that mitigates against the radical break with owning-class capital (read: foundation support) and hegemonic common sense (read: law and order).”

it is a wrapper around underlying os webview, basically you load your apps js/page in that webview, if you want to do more native things then you can communicate with that app with ipc (probably tauri_sdk_thing that wraps that ipc )

kinda like electron but donot have to ship chromium browser so less ram usage/ binary size

also since it is a warapper around webview not a lib_chrome_libary like in electron so it has less control in some case otherwise pretty great idea

how do open source maintainers make a living

Most who make a living out of it work on the project as part of their jobs at larger tech companies or universities. A few manage to start a company around that project and make a living selling various licenses and support. A tiny number manage to (at least temporarily) scrape together a living from donations.

For a large number of them however being an open source maintainer is an unpaid hobby they do on their evenings and weekends.
I don't think that's at all surprising. Companies can run with a skeleton crew... for a little bit (most web services get through major holidays on a handful of on-call employees, say). But that only works for so long.
The Chinese Room thought experiment is kind of a different mistake. In the Chinese room argument, Searle attempted to imagine an AI system that was "obviously not sentient" because it was made up of hard rules and facts (presumably legible to us humans), and it was argued that it should be obvious that the system wasn't sentient.

For the ChatGPT case it's not clear the Chinese room argument even applies. First, it's not even a Chinese room, it's trained by a neural network, an a neural network is inspired by the structure of our brains. There's no "set of instructions in English" for anyone to follow, but it's a rather overwhelming set of neurons somehow producing the results that it was trained on, and as an outsider we have no idea what's going on inside individual neurons -- just like our brains.

I'm seeing a lot of people claim that "we know how ChatGPT is created, and so it's not sentient", maybe this looks like the Chinese room fallacy (I'm calling it as such), but it's like claiming we know the laws of physics (Schrödinger's equation etc.) and then claiming we know how the brain works because it's all quantum physics. The fact is we know how to build GPT but we don't actually know how it works.

Besides what happens to humanity when we learn more and more about how our own brains work? I'm pretty comfortable with the idea that we're not sentient (yay), but I'm pretty sure those same people would then come up with other nonsensical arguments to prove that they are different from the robots we created.
> At least, the machines of the future will have feelings, and they will see how people of the year 2023 treated their predecessors.

I'd be pretty annoyed if I was given the same rights as an ape or a phone's autocorrect. I think the actual sentient AI will understand.

I'll be one of the first to campaign for actual sentient AI rights, but I'm not going to act like a clown by jumping the gun.

It's still only able to respond, it cannot communicate on its own without external prompting. It has no desire or even capability to do so. It's not sentient.
In my view, the concern lies with the lack of transparency. Just be open about what you did and why you did it..

It is completely understandable a project of this nature would require galaxy brains (w/ very lucrative alternatives) and the capacity to burn billions prior to seeing any meaningful returns.

One could easily argue that pursuing a non-profit approach was ultimately ineffective, and that open-sourcing the project would make a for-profit model unfeasible.

However, Sam is choosing to be closed lipped about it, having only made vague references to the potential risks of open-sourcing the project several years ago.
Nothing ironic to see here, just Vice.com complaining about a company parading as one thing and then realigning it's "goals" while hiding behind modern day social politics and ethics in order to make money.

It's difficult to judge based solely on experience, but it's definitely felt worse to me recently. I don't remember having so many problems with basic functionality before — things like tweets showing up in one place and not others. Tbh, many of the problems seem to be related to poor cache management.
That's not what Bing AI is doing, at least not yet. Bing AI doesn't make any HTTP requests to external sites, even with prompting. And if you think it does, I'd like you to produce a server log showing that's the case which should be very easy to produce.

My understanding is that the Bing AI is reading whatever the Bing crawler has already cached.

The reason is that they probably have distribution rights for the US/North America, so if they're streaming to other locations, they can be sued. So they need to at least appear to be 'taking steps to prevent' such things.
I you want to get a head start on something, Kanji is probably a good idea - there are about 2000 of them in common use (more, if you read more advanced stuff or in names), and teachers probably won't have a lot of time going over them. Plus, you essentially just have to memorise them, something you can only do on your own.

There are several ways of learning Kanji, each with their benefits and drawbacks, such as WaniKani, Remembering the Kanji, Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course, etc. Ultimately, Kanji are painful and time-intensive to learn, so none of these will be perfect, but you can maybe spend some initial time trying to find out which works best for you and then just stick with it.

First of all: This seems solely political and thus misplaced.

Secondly: Not arguing this isn't used for political gain by other authoritarians, but looking at the USSR, China, Cambodia... this feels like a healthy response to any notion of leftist ideology getting traction.
Funny you mention that metric since it happens often and is irrelevant since throughput would be way more interesting since it is often chosen as a metric to "solve" congestion, especially total throughput (including not cars) would most likely increase the total speed (in general) for all commuters due to limiting congestion.

Don't mention to car-centric politicians the most effective speed for safe throughput is about 40kph/25mph and not 120/75.
Not just the UK.

France had some interesting home micros, and of course Minitel.

Japan had some amazing machines, and MSX did some stuff that no other 8-bits ever did.

Behind the iron curtain there was a ton of R&D, including legions of clones, but also PDP-11 home computers, machines that used trinary instead of binary and all sorts of exotica.

In the Southern hemisphere, Australia and several big Latin American countries had their own industries, due to the costs of imports.

Very frustrating to have an otherwise well maintained mountain bike and bombproof wheelset with a snapped fork. To get a new fork I need a new frame and front wheel. 20mm-thru axles are no longer popular. Headsets similarly have changed design.

At this point I have a room of partial bicycles just collecting dust.

When new some of these bicycles were more valuable (retail price of all components) than a cheap used car. Then there's the problem of importing them, dealing with customs shakedowns or traveling abroad to purchase them.

Internal gearhubs and fat chains are a good choice if you are looking for longevity. Avoid the latest fads where possible. For my usage weight savings is secondary to overall durability.

How does this work?

Does it transcribes the video with timestamps (probably using Whisper), uses GPT to highlight/summarize the most relevant parts, cuts and speeds up the video based on timestamps that correspond to highlighted parts, generates summary by GPT and generates a voiceover?
Same. I feel like the title set me up for confusion. Still very cool and very used but not what I was expecting.
I agree with you around VS and I use it all the time. The problem is that Rider for example is the same. I've had the chance to do a project with Rider recently and I have to say performance-wise both VS and Rider are just slow and prone to crashes and random errors. It's true they offer immense power. Debugging and profiling is unmatched in both IDEs. However, what I'd like is a more modular approach in both of them where I can disable certain things to take a load off the dev experience. I'm not sure if their architecture would allow for such a change, but I'd love to see it.

I'm back to my usual VSCode setup now for .NET/C# work, but there even though I have more than 50 extensions, they are all enabled on per-project basis so the experience is pretty light. I still have to boot up VS/Rider from time to time, but it won't be my first choice.
ucode cracking is relatively straightforward, I wouldn't call it a JIT. https://intelxed.github.io/ref-manual/

It's more like an intepreter for x86, seeing as it is actually executed on a dataflow architecture.
M can be wider because it’s easy to decode ARM in parallel. X86 parallel decode becomes exponentially harder with more width due to crazy instruction length rules.
Also,

<html lang="ja">
Japanese text ...
<span lang="zh">
Chinese quote
</span>
...
</html>

is much easier than mixing encodings. With the above entirely in Unicode, it will be handled reliably by anything that can handle Unicode, and is still reasonably readable even if the Chinese text is shown in a Japanese font. Reading just the fourth line without the third will still show something 'OK'.

Mixing Shift_JIS and Big5 sounds like a recipe for corruption, but something similar was done in an old Russian and Japanese encoding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_Out_and_Shift_In_charact...

Uncurled: A book by Daniel Stenberg, creator of curl
Things like "public goods" are an outdated concept, with a distinctly 19th and 20th century feel. In our postmodern world the very idea is almost taboo. The few things that remain, do because they have been grandfathered in.

> nah, capitalism is a great driver of progress

yes, in terms of angel investment and investors willing to make risky bets but also "super-no" in terms of publicly traded organisations, The worst excesses of the market just plays "number goes up" via price gouging or rent seeking while using their "at any cost" capital to buy out any emerging competition and transforming it into the same dire pattern.

In practice I would argue that any system has its positives and negatives and the top end (publicly traded organisations) of the American system can be quite disgusting at times by taking solid business models and squeezing them until they're a former shell of themselves. All while stripping back further investment or maintenance and ignoring every warning or employee protest until the trains fall off the tracks and poison an entire town.
Since when experts are credible for anything these days?
I'm pretty sure those massive A-pillars are to avoid roof collapse during a tip-over and not airbags. My previous smaller car had the same airbags my new one (new ones a longer but just as narrow) has and had about half the width of the pillars, the new one is also twice as heavy (still light by US standards).

I'd argue there are no reasonable use-cases for HTTP except web browsers.

I would assume that depends on the road in question? Eg Autobahn vs dirt road?

Show HN: PixelForge – Verticalize YouTube videos with AI for TikTok, Reels
Hi everyone!

PixelForge aims at easily convert horizontal videos into vertical videos without having to go through the tedious process of video editing again.

Among the different possibilities, I really wanted PixelForge to be efficient in the following areas:

- Developing your audience on YouTube

- Growing your audience on other platforms

- Reduce the financial impact of content repost in other/same platforms

- Getting more value out of your horizontal videos.

>> So what's the problem? Why this project ?

As a former content creator on YouTube (+50k subs & ~5M views), I've seen the platform evolve and I've witnessed several problems over the years.

One of the best ways to succeed on YouTube today is to Shorts, which they are known to have have a wider reach. However, this can be a big challenge when your content is mainly horizontal.

In addition, many creators have their content stolen and republished on platforms like TikTok and Reels for monetization purposes, resulting in a significant loss of revenue. Unfortunately, extracting a vertical video from a horizontal video is not an easy task and requires a lot of extra work in video editing.

>> The solution?

PixelForge tackles this problem head on. The tool allows content creators to work on their horizontal video as they usually do. But once the video is published, they can quickly generate tiktoks/shorts/reels using the AI-powered tool that slices the horizontal video into relevant segments. The creator only has to choose the different segments to compose his final vertical video that he can publish on different platforms.

>> What's next?

PixelForge is a new tool, but I'd like to continue developing it with your help.
Here are some of the features I'm currently working on:

- Adapting the tool to handle Twitch to extract vertical videos from streams

- A system to select the cropping area of interest in the video instead of just centering

- Automatically generating text on the video in a "tiktok" way.

- ... and I'm open to suggestions ! :)

If you are interested in the development of this project, I will share its progress from time to time on twitter: https://twitter.com/RiadEtm
