Well to the suits at ESPN, HBO, Netflix, and YouTube, those video files are indeed content. They are the contents of their platform.

But if you're in a conversation with an a filmmaker, a musician, a novelist, or a painter, and you try to call their artistic output "content," they might take some offense, because you're kind of reducing their work to a mere consumable product.

Yes, art can be packaged up and put on a platform and distributed and profited off of, or bought and sold on an online store like toasters and dish soap, but that's not the reason it exists - it's form of human expression.

Just as not all digital content is art (e.g. NBA games), and not all digital art is content.

Jack Dorsey: A native internet protocol for social media
Yeah, I hate saying stuff like "it only matters when it hits the pockets of the rich" because it's reductive and cynical, but seriously - how are the patients not better protected here? How is that not the bigger story?
- nicely designed app, great work!
- sliders on the right side are very difficult to use, instead of hover to select it would be better as click to select
- have some sort of onboarding that lets me know I need to put in my api key
Going with the vision of one man, and the "style that he prefers" is often better than design by committee, or data-driven decisions that end up in the best case being a bland product that nobody hates, and in the worst case in a crappy product designed with the interest of the companies that produces it and its partners before the interests of the users/customers.

Doomerism Marketing is dangerous too!
The problem is that combining the two would actually give you significantly more information than either individual datapoint. A mismatch between Apple ID region and IP region will very reliably identify a subset of users (either expats or travellers).
> when you don't know that a product definitely can do something, you don't sell it saying that it has the "capability" to do it. That's fraud.

Capability is defined as "the facility or potential for an indicated use or deployment" [1]. There are other definitions. But selling capability based on future potential is not fraudulent, unless you say the capability is present.

“The U.S. case and most of the current outbreaks in Africa (which was declared a polio-free continent in 2020) are linked to vaccine-derived strains of the virus. These strains were originally part of oral polio vaccine. They were shed in human stool from those who'd been inoculated and mutated in the wild, regaining strength and becoming just as dangerous as the original virus.”

In my experience, persistent message queue is just a poor secondary database.

If anything, I prefer to use ZeroMQ and make sure everything can recover from an outage and settle eventually.

To ingest large inputs, I would just use short append only files and maybe send them over to the other node over ZeroMQ to get a little bit more reliability, but rarely are such high volume data that critical.

There is nothing like free lunch when talking distributed fault tolerant systems and simplicity usually fares rather well.
I don't think it's coherent.

It doesn't really make sense to use htmx and svelte together.

(This QuickStart just shows svelte. htmx imported but not really used.)

I think I remember this was posted a few weeks ago too, but maybe then it really was htmx?

But it's really unclear why you'd use this over, say, sveltekit (the "native" app framework for svelte the reactive UI library) or, if you don't want to use that style of framework, any of the many other routers, server, etc.

Good name, though. Maybe that's why it keeps catching my eye.
HN would be if we could clone @dang 1000 times and make some sub-HNs.
Worth noting, if all you need to do is trim the video, Quicktime can do this quickly out of the box without iMovie (Cmd+T to trim)

A lot of the time I find this preferable because iMovie is not very flexible with video aspect ratios/resolutions

Strange, making the very low contrast text more visible on this site is an instant improvement, and it's right there in the "color theory"

The great shake up has started. Google pissing their pants with AIs abrupt arrival, Twitter dying a death by a million cuts, Facebook in mid-air making their VR play, the tech skyline will look very different in 5 years.
The problem is the cheaper vaccine is live attenuated virus and is becoming infectious and spreading to new people.
> Although IQ differences between individuals have been shown to have a large hereditary component, it does not follow that disparities in IQ between groups have a genetic basis

Sure, but this is not the claim I originally quoted. I was taking about heritability, and you're taking now about disparities between groups.

Nevertheless it seems you agree the heritability of IQ is well established, which you were denying originally.
Yeah this was what I noticed too. I write custom cover letters for jobs that I apply to, and it often takes 30-60 minutes. Sometimes I'll even tailor my resume for the ad. But I also only apply for a job every week or two, and I only apply to ones that I'm actually very interested in.

> You won't know this for any local models either.

But you will know the model hasn't changed, and you can always continue using the version you currently have.

> Most people find the SEO spam in their results more annoying.

This is the same problem. These models will degrade from research quality to mass market quality as there's incentive to change what results they surface. Whether that's intentional (paid ads) versus adversarial (SEO) doesn't matter all that much - In either case the goals will become commercial and profit motivated.

People really don't like "commercial and profit motivated" in the spaces that some of these LLMs stepping into. Just like you don't like SEO in your recipe results.
But foo(1) is a constant expression, and the compiler accepts it.

Not sure what you mean by a "constexpr expression" exactly. My point is that a function can legally be constexpr-qualified even if it can produce UB when called with certain arguments. I think it's very common to call such a function "a constexpr function". Of course, we agree that not every expression where a constexpr function is called is a constant expression (such as foo(100) in my example). However, expressions where that function is called with arguments where it does not produce UB are legal constant expressions (such as foo(1) in my example).

Perhaps I misunderstood your original comment and we are in fact in violent agreement. If so I apologize.
However the exit nodes used by Private Relay always map to your current country and not the billing region of the Apple ID, thus a persistent discrepancy is still possible.
Except that the reason for the comeback of Polio are not anti-vaxx people, but flaws of the original vaccine itself:

"The U.S. case and most of the current outbreaks in Africa (which was declared a polio-free continent in 2020) are linked to vaccine-derived strains of the virus. These strains were originally part of oral polio vaccine"

"Last year there were only 30 cases of wild polio detected while there were nearly 800 cases of vaccine-derived polio. Of the 15 cases reported in the first quarter of 2023, 14 are from strains of the virus that mutated from the oral polio vaccine used in lower-income nations."
Substack and Beehiv is my favorite.
I don't like it either. I use Substack (and previously Medium) when I want to read long-form content instead of tweets. If I wanted tweets, I'd use Twitter.

But Substack Notes allows for greater potential monetization (ick): TikTok style content, algorithmic recommendations, and ads. Especially ads.
Url changed from https://twitter.com/cjgbest/status/1645804524068818945, which (sort of) points to this.
I'm not sure you read the article. Vaccine-derived cases of polio far outnumber cases of wild polio in the world now. Polio can be created in a lab with publicly available information. This virus WILL be with us forever. The discussion is how to handle that fact.
Why leasing an EV might be the smarter choice
I'm not on Mastodon. So that works?

Actually, this site is usually the best, and Facebook (the latter might reflect my audience).

Reddit subs tend to censor any attempt at self-promotion, which you can't blame them for, I guess. And StackExchange is the absolute worst. The level of asshole-ness there has to be seen to be believed.
What about receiving stolen property, perjury, campaign finance violations, etc? There are enough ethically flexible people out there and if you remove the major deterrent from doing these societally bad but nonviolent things I think occurrences of them would all increase a decent amount.
While incarcerated, half the people "know a guy". Maybe the prison was "better", or maybe it was just a different mix of pros and cons.

Not only was the advice I received unhelpful, following it actually made my stay longer. My family would have been better off taking the substantial amount of money and setting it on fire.
I honestly can't imagine a better marketing campaign for Substack Notes than Elon 'Streisand Effect' Musk's ongoing shenanigans.

Sorry in HN I default to US centrism.

Anyways I'm assuming you can be legally imigrating to a country at which points laws should be make to protect you too.

I don't see how is there any morality in laws that disregard a human being due to their passport or lack of thereof.

I understand it is what it is, still madness.
It's not about cost, it is about protecting the planet and every resource that is extracted that could be recycled is never coming back.
Hey now, don't forget the lives of everyone else they are in traffic with. That increases the number of beta tested by an order of magnitude if you think about it.
In my country, yes. In fact because the True/False were there, or to circle the correct answer, I was in this way given a hint of what the correct answer is. Had I needed to think of it, I wouldn't have managed to graduate high school.

Full disclose, I graduated with something close to a D, but in actuality we are graded from 2(F) to 6(A) and my HS diploma says 3.97. And it is largely fictitious, in reality I was closer to 3 and less.

Honestly, my confidence in the Fediverse is in part because it has no business strategy. The tooling behind it is at the moment pretty much universally AGPL (a license which I don't think is very good but it seems to keep away big businesses). It probably won't reach mass-appeal outside of gradually amassing tech nerds, but at the same time... maybe that's for the better?

I dunno, I think a lot of the enshittification[0] of social media companies comes in part because of their business strategies. VCs demand eternal growth or an eventual buyout. Fedi doesn't have that incentive. The worst that can happen to it is what happened to e-mail, where you get a few nebulously large providers but it's still more than possible (although with e-mail, rather aggravating due to an outdated tech stack that we've bolted a bunch of asterisks onto to try and make it more suited for general use) to live outside that bubble and interact with that big provider bubble anyway.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think they are saying to never use borders, but instead use them intentionally. They explain better than "Use less borders" below:

> Borders are a great way to distinguish two elements from one another, but using too many of them can make your design feel busy and cluttered

The example screenshot on the page shows a use case where they want to highlight a single row from a table, and using less borders is great for that. However, if they were trying to increase readability of the table overall, they may choose to keep the borders in place for contrast.
It makes no sense, the science is free and open, the companies just put their money into throwing data into the model. Once you have the big llama model filled with all the humanity information as an open source thing at bast a company could sell you some small stuff to add on top, like maybe Disney would sell you a "license" and a lora to generate Disney crap, their model would probably will be lower in quality then the open ones but the license would be the important part.

It is kind of idiotic that some scientist can spend years and a lot of public money to create some technology and then bilionairs are miliking all the profits.
Precisely. You have to wonder why so many people still take Musk at his word.
> What did you do to avoid implicit locking, and what sort of isolation level were you using?

I avoided implicit locking by manually handling transactions. The query that acquired the lock was a separate transaction from the query that figured out which jobs were eligible.

> Without more information about your setup, the advisory locking sounds like dead weight.

Can you expand on this? Implementation-wise, my understanding is that both solutions require a query to acquire the lock or fast-fail, so the advisory lock acquisition query is almost identical SQL to the row-lock solution. I'm not sure where the dead weight is.

Exactly. Exactly.

Good luck to Substack, though. I'm rooting for them in this scenario.

Watch (or listen to) some of the old Steve Jobs interviews at ALl Things Digital: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steve-jobs-at-the-d-al...

It is remarkable how prescient he is about the future that was a decade away. How revolutionary some of the things he demo'd were at the time that we now take absolutely for granted.

The man was mercurial and probably not fun to work for. And many a marriage or personal relationship was probably ruined by the intense Apple work environment at the time.

But he shaped (not built) a lot of our future. No one else at the time was as visionary.

And I say this as someone who endlessly criticized Apple at the time. I hated everything they were doing. I thought they were making toys for finger painters. I didn't see it.
Wow I had no idea that existed. What a great service.

Money Is Backed by Everything
The short answer is "yes" but the questions that you should be asking are: A) How long am I willing to block the queue for additional consumers, B) How committed am I to getting close to exactly-once processing, and C) how tolerant of consumer failure should I be? Depending on the answer to those three questions is what drives your queue architecture. Note that this has nothing to do with time spent processing messages or "long running jobs".

Assume that your producers will be able to spike and generate messages faster than your consumers can process them. This is normal! This is why you have a queue in the first place! If your jobs take 5 seconds or 5 hours, your strategy is influenced by the answers to those three questions. For example -- if you're willing to drop a message if a consumer gets power-cycled, then yeah, you'd immediately ack the request and put it back onto a dead letter queue if your consumer runs into an exception. Alternatively, if you're unwilling to block and you want to be very tolerant of consumer failure, you'd fan out your queues and have your consumers checking multiple queues in parallel. Etc etc etc, you get the drift.

Keep in mind also that this isn't specific to RabbitMQ! You'd want to answer the same questions if you were using SQS, or if you were using Kafka, or if you were using 0mq, or if you were using Redis queues, or if you were using pg queues.

Sounds like throwing gasoline into the fire. Housing prices are high because of supply and demand... so CA wants to use taxpayer money to increase demand?
My thoughts exactly.

But... paying for a Tumblr sounds weird. People are already used to paying for Substacks, so there's that.
I mean for her yeah. The average guy wanted on a felony for stealing cars or something, could probably be fine working as an agricultural worker on a farm in Brazil or something for the rest of their life. I've met plenty of white euro looking people in South America living off the black market and frankly no one would bother to find out who they were unless their were some big reward, and usually there isn't.

'Censorship regime'? In the time since Musk took over twitter I've gotten right-wing tweets forced into my feed despite not following a single right winger and a ton of high profile people have been banned for speaking out about him.

Not to mention that old Twitter never hamfistedly censored people by straight up shadowbanning users for using the words 'mastodon' or 'substack' in their tweets.
One thing Apple was good at is not releasing a product until the technology to make it good exists.

There have been rumors of an iPhone way before release, even the name was obvious to everyone (after the iPod and the iMac), and Apple probably had a prototype with a stylus and a plastic screen. However they didn't release it until capacitive screen were ready for consumer electronics.

That's why Apple is often seen not as the company that makes a certain product category popular: because they wait until all the pieces are in places when other companies will release earlier with whatever tech is available at the time.
With helmets, I won't even buy them online - because I can't fit check them, and reputable retailers won't take returns of helmets.

Its cheaper to buy a helmet online, but it is generally better to pay the extra 10-15% and try the fucking thing on in a shop, ensure it fits, etc.

Some manufacturers (Mammut, for example) only really offer one or two sizes, others offer a variety.
I read the report much more bullishly. It's clear that the things driving actual technological progress are growing. Active developers seems to have doubled over the last few years. NFT buyers is surprisingly high, having fallen much less than I imagined (need to look into this). Academic interest has skyrocketed on a 2-3 year timeframe.

The report, very honestly, seems to be saying that the underlying tech is developing even though hype seems to have slowed (a repeated pattern in tech).

Overall, good news!

How do you know when there is content to scroll then? You randomly scroll parts of the screen to see if they move?
This is an excellent question but a massive one to answer. Probably the length of a scientific paper. It'd involve thermo, engineering economics, etc.

To keep it short, yes there is a return to scale, but it's a diminishing one. Gas turbines run at about 55% thermal efficiency. Large of small it matters little, that limit is set by the blade materials' melting temperature (which sets longevity).

Your car typically runs at about 30%, its efficiency partially offset by heat losses to the cylinder walls (ie the larger the better), but is mostly set by engineering decisions other than fuel efficiency (one big cylinder has less surface heat loss than four little guys but would be unbalanced)

But there are so many legacy design decisions in an ICE that no longer apply if we have hybrid drivetrains and ammonia/urea injection (to mitigate NOx from high compression).

The Prius challenged a lot (but not all) of these decisions and remains, in my opinion, the most revolutionary car of the past 50 years.

I really believe that an fossil fuel car engine can get an efficiency within the transmission losses of the best gas power plant. But even if ICE development were frozen, hybrids still make more sense, from a CO2 POV, than EVs
I did this rabbit hole about 15 years ago and have a couple vanishing points as a result. Today Zebra Sarasa at work. Fountain pens are fun but fiddly with refills and blots. Fun to write with.
I'm curious when you say LLM convert words in to vectors, is it similar to vectors in physics, with one part being a magnitude and the other part being a direction?
It's also setting up terrible incentives for the state to continue to see houses appreciate instead of making them more affordable. This makes wholesale housing reform even less likely than it already is, the state government is just getting its beak wet.

Instead of you know, building more houses so that houses can be affordable instead of a good investment.

Wanting housing to be both affordable and a good investment is a fantastic example of 'no take only throw' economics.
