I would think the logical structure would be to set up a holding company for each major production/show that the writers and other major contributors would hold equity in, and that holding company sells the rights to the work to the streaming company with regular renegotiations and some bonus clauses for short term success. So long as the content is still deemed a valuable asset, the holding company can keep charging a high price for the streamer to keep it, allowing the creators to collect dividends, or the streamer can buy out the equity holders if they want permanent ownership. With the bonus clauses (ie you get an extra lump of cash if this show winds up suddenly getting super popular) there is a strong incentive both to make something that will briefly drive a surge in membership, but with the equity there is an incentive to make something of genuine value that the streamer would want to make a permanent addiction to their collection. Of course if the streamer is bankrolling the production, it would make sense that they'ed have an exclusivity agreement in place so the holding company can't shop it around, giving them a very strong negotiating position (though they can't completely shaft the production team assuming they want to work with them in the future), but the people involved in the production would at least know what they are getting into ahead of time and decide if the equity they'd be getting is worth it.

Of course this is a change to how it's been done in the past, but not that big a change - this is basically already how the producers for movies get paid, essentially you'd just have a much larger number of "producers" with much lower individual equity stakes. And ultimately a new medium with a new business model was always going to require a new compensation strategy.

Sorry, this is absolutely not a thing. You’d have something if you said that someone could use the speaker as a mic, although of course you can’t do that on a phone without taking it apart. But the accelerometer on a phone, while in the phone, cannot be used as a microphone. I’d be very very impressed if someone managed to get usable sound out of an accelerometer floating in free space even, although that’s mildly conceivable. And while I hate to appeal to authority, I worked at Fitbit for 7 years and was directly responsible for the algorithms team that built the step counting, activity recognition and other algorithms for a chunk of that time. I’m very familiar with what the data off an accelerometer looks like and what you can train a model to extract from it.
If it's plausible that that strategy could work, it's plausible that someone will try it.

Show HN: VizGPT – Make contextual data visualizations with a chat interface
VizGPT provides a chat interface to make and edit data visualizations.

Not only can it create visualization with natural language query, but you can continue transform or edit your visualization in context.

You can build complex visualization with chatting step by step instead of design a large prompt at once.

There exist lots of great visualization product in the world, such as tableau, pygwalker. Traditional drag-and-drop visualization tool is hard to use for people who are not familiar with configs and viz/data transformations. For example, making a heatmap in tableau requires to make bin transformations to both axis, and then drag the measure to color. It is hard for people who are not familiar with data visualization to make a heatmap.

Some text2viz tools accepts natural language to generate visualization. However, they are not flexible enough to allow user to edit the visualization. For example, if the user want to change the color of the heatmap, they have to retype the whole sentence.

With VizGPT, you can build visualizations step by step with chat interface. You can edit/adjust visualizations in the context. It allows your to explore the data first without figuring out how to build complex visualization at begining, especially when you are not familiar with the data.

Features

+ Natural language to data visualization [vega-lite](https://github.com/vega/vega-lite)

+ Use chat context to edit your visualization. Allow user to change the chart if it is not they expected

+ Explore the data step by step by chatting with visualizations.

+ Upload your own dataset (CSV) to make visualization.

I think there's two categories of submissions on HN that I read. One is rumination about various tech topics and the other are technical teardowns or step by step how to run Linux on a Kindle, etc

I think the rumination ones can be replaced by AI right now. They don't really serve much practical purpose and are more for entertainment reasons while the technical ones teach you concrete things you are unlikely to reproduce without significant effort.

Personally I'd like to see the latter more celebrated because they entail a lot of work even if they're not as emotionally jarring.
I like this - the proletarians as the experimental group and the upper classes as the control. I think I'm going to use that.
Yeah it's not really JVM.

The thing with these kinds of ports is that they do some 'neat stuff' but ultimately, they don't come close to the real thing, often, not close enough to be a material substitute.

The JVM is a very sophisticated and nuanced thing, 'duplicating it' and the standard libs is a very big deal.

Theses are cool projects though and they have their use.

Bigger is one option, but more of them is another; combining the data from multiple telescopes at, say, 10km apart effectively turns them into a telescope with a 10km diameter (see e.g. the event horizon telescope that made the first image of a black hole: https://eventhorizontelescope.org/ )

Yes, and not just limited to social networks.
I think there are probably outside influences involved. But also, we've already had a civil war that predates the internet by a long shot, and I don't think we necessarily need outside influence for this to be an outcome given a lot of the incentives for radicalized viewpoints.
You could apply for funding from a charity to get a copy of the Internet Archive.
The IA is making incomplete copies including search function available in form of a container containing several 19" racks called the Petabox: https://archive.org/web/petabox.php

This is still useful after the conflict is over, as rebuilding infrastructure can take decades, and the container could be beneficial if hosted e.g. by a school.

You could create a mesh network that links local organisations to the Petabox without being initially connected to "the" Internet.

In any case, I wish you personally well and peace to your country!

If they're readers, they've read more accessible books. I don't think the lesser known works for those authors in any way prepare you for the more challenging ones. You either go for it as an experienced reader, or you don't. You won't really understand the appeal of Pynchon or Joyce without diving into them.

I would concede if there were a particularly outstanding accessible book, it would be a good starting point - I don't think there is.

The need for cooperation suggests that what's being learned here is the correlation between brain activity and produced language. Language is not all (maybe most?) of thinking though [1]. So it may not be a certainty that technology improvements allow decoding of subconscious thought processes. This feels related to the possible fundamental limitations of LLMs trained on language too.

More than likely the USPS would be motivated to build an excellent spam blocker, and then charge bulk mailers for delivery. =) The USPS doesn't "block spam" physically because the USPS gets most of their revenue from it.
Most shootings at schools are targeted (jilted lover type situations—often these target an adult, not a student; something related to other crime, like beef over drug dealing territory between students) or are coincidences (a shooting otherwise having nothing to do with the school happens to take place on the edge of the parking lot, or something like that). They're not what people usually mean by "school shooting"—though, I mean, obviously they're still not great.

However, even including those, a couple years back I ran the numbers on odds of a kid even being present (not hurt or killed) during any kind of shooting at a school, over a 13-year K-12 school career, and I don't remember the exact figure, but it was low enough that I concluded none of this was worth any real concern on my part at all. And that's assuming shootings at schools are evenly distributed, which I'm sure they're not.
Agreed, and further I don't think I buy the premise that without updates it won't work. For SaaS that's definitely true. For some desktop software that's true too, but it's true far less than we make it out to be nowadays. I have a handful of Android apps that got updated in a direction I didn't like that I still run and still run fine (sometimes dropping server supported features like old PocketCasts before the NPR acquisition) even though they haven't been updated in years. For apps that don't rely on server support this is nearly always true.

Based on when this conversation happened I expect it is a cultural difference; people who think this is normal are Indian/European and I am American.

In my experience in American bigtech, an engineer who rejects all meetings that don’t meet their own personal set of rules for what constitutes a worthwhile meeting (or I’m sure more accurately, applies those rules whenever they don’t want to attend) would be viewed very negatively. We’re expected to collaborate a lot by default, and by American standards it’s also a very snowflakey (making all meeting invites have to conform to your special little rules for you to grace us with your attendance) and aggressive way to express distaste in something.

IME it would be much better to directly just ask the creator if your attendance is truly necessary or even just noshow. But perhaps etiquette is different in other parts of the world.

Seems to me like it's ignoring context and indirectly applying literal synonyms in the wrong direction. That is, if screwing->fucking (sorry, it's necessary to make the point) but not the other way around except in one context and screwing can be synonym for tighten something in another context, then bracing->tighten and tighten->screwing, it could have "walked backwards" doing something like brace->tighten->screw->fuck, where the last synonym is not valid in the context where the first synonym could be.

Sorry about language and the poor description; I seem to have an idea of the problem, but it's not my field and have no way of describing it in formal way.
It can never be the Emacs of web browsers because the browser engine is written in C/C++, not Lisp and therefore minimally extensible through a very restricted API that is not even controlled or influenced in any way by the Nyxt team. I guess they could fork an engine but good luck with that.

I wonder what a textualist understanding of the constitution would produce and why the author chose to highlight one over the other.

It seems internally inconsistent to apply originalism to parking at all in the sense that there is no original thought on cars at the time of the drafting of the constitution simply because cars had not been invented yet.

What makes blue holes so fascinating, in my opinion, is the historical perspective they provide.

These were once deep air-filled vertical shafts, formed by the longterm erosional/dissolutional power of falling water under the influence of gravity. Speleothems like stalactites prove that they formed in an air-filled environment.

In other words, the present-day sea level at the Yucatan Peninsula was formerly at least 275m lower; and/or the present-day surface was at least 275m higher. The paper attributes this to "glacio-eustatic changes", which is the equal-and-opposite-reaction involving lowered sea level (increased global glaciation) and the buoyant rising of the regional continental crust since the mass of additional sea water has been removed.
the media does it to everyone they can - they raise you up for eyeballs, and then they tear you down for those same eyeballs.
I would come to the same conclusion if they had used something like Chisel or another of the new HDLs that are based on higher level languages and metaprogramming, but Verilog is arguably the older language when compared with VHDL.

As a millennial, The Onion used to be our satirical touchstone -- they even transitioned with us into the YouTube era with the inimitable Onion Digital Studios, bringing us top-notch parody of our own culture with miniseries such as Sex House [1]. Unfortunately once ODS was killed off, their content has withered.

The Hard Drive seems to have stepped up to fill its place in our social media feeds. The quality of the satire is across-the-board better than anything from the Onion in recent years, and taps into our generation's "woke" mindset. Here's one y'all will enjoy [2].

Yes and the material irradiated by the explosion itself is not very dangerous after a few weeks especially if you’re in a hermetically sealed space suit that prevents you from ingesting any of it. After 1 to 5 years there’d be very little left except for any small amounts of uranium or plutonium that were not fissioned but due to the Moon’s low gravity and lack of atmosphere a lot of these particles will be flung into space or so widely dispersed that there are unlikely to be any hot spots.

Also, the hand wringing about adding a crater to the Moon’s surface is just laughable. The whole surface is cratered, a tiny man made one wouldn’t even be noticeable.
The lack of AU on Windows, and the lack of VST on any mobile device, is done more to hold back DAW than anything else.

Ask HN: Things to Learn for Music-Specific Programming?
Hello HN,

I just started out my programming journey. I have learned some C through college courses, and I am trying to grasp larger CS concepts + python in my free time.

I have a desire to work at a company that improves or creates music production software. Some examples would be apple improving the application 'logic' or at 'ableton'.

Is there anything I should put extra emphasis towards in my free-time that would help me to work in these areas? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Depends.

Having our programs offline mean I can run them, even if the internet isnt working.

Instead of getting 0 data from downtime, I can still get the data, run the programs, and give it to the person who needs it.

If we are fully online, if the servers are down, we basically lose the entire time.

Not to mention, I think 'uptime' is a pretty optimistic number, unusable slow service doesnt seem to hit any metrics I'm aware of.

Maybe so, but I suspect there are better ways to sort through information, even if they're opinions tied to narrative. The current model, driven by ad dollars and cheap information, seems to have led to a landscape of noise; too much low-quality information to sift through. I'd argue that even the system of expert gatekeepers that came before was more effective than this.

There ARE better and worse ideas, even in the opinions space, I daresay. Perhaps not always right or wrong ones, but they can be sorted more effectively than they currently are, I believe.

Reddit, Hackernews, Quora, all provide examples of what a better model might look like. There's more open discussion, upvotes and downvotes, etc. People have the opportunity to synthesize and draw their own conclusions.
