Show HN: RuGiVi – Adult media landscape browser
RuGiVi enables you to fly over your image collection and view thousands of images at once. Zoom in and out from one image to small thumbnails with your mousewheel in seconds. All images are grouped as you have them on your disk and arranged in a huge landscape. RuGiVi can work with hundred thousand of images at once.

Fly over thumbnails and zoom in on any image anytime in an instant!

Tested with around 700.000 images, that's a RuGiVi Pixel size of 4.600.000 x 4.400.000 pixels or 20.240.000 Megapixels or 10.120.000 Full HD Screens to be scrolled through.

RuGiVi works on Windows and Ubuntu Linux

RuGiVi saves all generated thumbnails in a database and can load these on the fly at the next session.

Oh and regarding my other project: RuGiVi integrates fully into the Fapel-System [1], so you can travel trough your collection and tag images as you fly over them!

Have fun!

What did these people not learn in school?

I know there are autodidactic folks, but I would know substantially less basic math, biology, chemistry, English, and history if I hadn't gone to grade school.
I'd download and run a few open-source LLMs that can be run without internet access and a laptop - can be an infinite source of math problems, quizzes, programming challenges, etc., that should keep you occupied for a very long time.
No they didn't. Governments don't spend, they invest. That may seem like splitting hairs but it's not. It's not like there were trillions of dollars sitting around waiting to be spent. The real tragedy of war is not that trillions were spent, but that millions of people and resources are poured into it instead of something that improves society.

Your argument of efficiency is inherently flawed. It implies that war is good as long as it's cost effective, which isn't true.

A little over 6 months unemployed with around 6 years of experience. Recruiters dried up except for a couple spouts last year and couple last month. Most of the interviews were shockingly hostile. Job applications are a void and frankly I’m seeing less and less jobs relevant to my skill self and less generalist jobs in general.

If things don’t shape up this month, I’m preparing for the worst and possibly giving up. It probably hurts a lot, but I’m still preferring remote. I had a lot of bad luck at the beginning of the year and had to hemorrhage a ton of money on emergencies and am steadily bleeding mostly through rent and bills. I really do not want to pay for moving expenses right now.

Pretty interesting to think about how the internet has changed engineering. Eg if most things were learned by book in the past, I’d guess that would result in more coalescence around the standard libraries — need enough readership to make it worth writing a book on it, and it’s also easiest to find the books that are most widely available. Now that we have internet and can easily find stack overflow pages, it probably leads to package proliferation, and less solid knowledge of the standard libraries.
Exactly, a lot of people expect VC funded output from Mastodon when Mastodon project only gets about $30k a month. Enough to pay for 1 developer, 1 designer, and not much else.

Tech doesn't get funding because it's good, it gets good because it's funded. Blusky will be the Windows to Mastodon's linux.
> I've found that DeepL already does this well

Yes. DeepL is very good! But with ChatGPT I can "tune" it more towards one way, whereas DeepL just only does whatever it does. DeepL has very very sensible defaults and the UI is great. But in fairness, DeepL basically will never just insert an appropriate idiom. Also GPT-3.5 is still worth comparing to DeepL as well.

> very real risk of instigating civil war.

Doubtful. Especially considering the American Civil war was started by wealthy land owners, but fought by the poorest conscripted Southerners. I don't really think Americans are willing to give up their extremely consumerist lives to fight and potentially die over what is essentially a hobby to most.

Of course it's a convenient narrative: that Americans would take up arms in a glorious battle to defend the Second Amendment. But, ultimately it's a marketing tactic pushed by gun manufacturers, a scare tactic to get people to buy up excess inventory before the next capital 'D' Democrat takes office.

Around me, a lot of people use the iPad to do drawings, animation, audio and video editing where a laptop or workstation is simply not possible because there's no desks / infrastructure to connect/power/store those products.

The macbooks are indeed used more by developers, but as soon as you get into the more 'creative' areas, the iPad + pencil for those kind of things wins big time.

It's $199. It's only ever been $499 until 2013, when the price suddently dropped to $199, and it has been that ever since.

Logic Pro is ridiculously cheap compared to most other DAW out there. There aren't tiers, there's no upsell to unlock basic features like unlimited tracks, it's just a full featured DAW, the end. Heack, a license for the "full feature, but not bundle-padded, version of X" costs:

- Reason: $60 (personal/limited commercial license)

- Renoise: $75 (and is the only tracker-style DAW)

- Tracktion Waveform: $149

- FL Studio: $199 (thankfully)

- Reaper: $225 (unlimited commercial license, by the time you need this, you already have seven other DAW already, too)

- Cubase: $329

- Studio One: $399

- Bitwig Studio: $399

- Ableton: $449

- Reason: $499

- Pro Tools: $499

So it's a great deal!

...

...but...

...$199 is also extreme expensive for people who bought a second hand mac, or have a hand-me-down ipad, and don't have two hundred dollars to casually spend on something they never played with because it's been out of reach due to a sky-high price. A subscription for Logic is the complete opposite of nuts. At $5 a month, someone can use Logic for 40 months before it would have been cheaper to buy it up front. That's more than three years, but which time you either know this is what you love, or you stopped using it already and moved on to another hobby. Heck, at $45 a year, that's four or even five years. Plenty of time to get your priorities straight and start saving if audio work brings you joy.

The audio crowd got used to incredibly high prices for software, $100+ for an app or even plugin is considered "normal", and has made it completely impossible for kids or just people without disposable income to get into. Everyone knows this, which is why everyone who actually cares to get those folks into their ecosystem either dropped their prices, or now offers a subscription model in addition to buying a perpetual license for a specific version.

And in an ecosystem where subscriptions are $9.99/mo (which they pretty much all are), $5/mo is a power move.
It's peanuts compared to VC funded projects.
“Symbiotic” by definition means one depends on the other. I think it’s moot who depends on who more. They both depend on each other in a substantial way. Without the other they would likely adapt, but in a suboptimal way, at least for some time.

But I think folks dramatically undervalue what GitHub(Lab) brings, and how expensive it is to host such a system for everyone.

Talk about being out of touch. Especially considering that concerns regarding the buildings appearance and height are often about keeping surrounding property values high.

I'm not sure if you realize that you're agreeing with me.

Go ahead and apply enough force to the hub to exactly cancel out the preload. Then when the bottom spoke has zero tension, cut it, and observe that the bicycle is unaffected.

Is your position that the load is then being carried by a spoke that doesn't even exist?

If so that's fine, but it is a stretch to call any other view a misconception.

A agree you can't 'get all the guns back', but there are still reasons to consider more stringent controls, two spring to mind:

1) It's about the social permission you give to people by making guns easily available. For example, in many European countries, bars, pubs and drinking are an absolutely central part of life, whereas in the US drinking establishments often have a much more 'taboo' vibe about them. Alcohol consumption is much lower in the US than Europe. Obviously there are questions about cause and effect, but I suspect that if the US made gun ownership into a more transgressive behaviour, there would be less gun crime.

2) Sometimes a tiny bit of friction makes a big difference. In the UK you can only buy paracetamol (Tylenol) 16 capsules at a time. Nothing stops you buying more by going to multiple shops, or by going back in the same shop multiple times. But that extra bit of friction has dramatically reduced the amount of paracetamol lying around in people's homes, and suicide from paracetamol has radically reduced as a result.

I get the principle you are articulating, but, in practice, it's probably quite a bit more nuanced. Texas isn't likely to be a state full of criminals, rather it's a state with different social norms around firearms, and permissive gun laws.
But it's a feast or famine deal - one year you make enough for a house, the next 5 years you are looking for another show to work on, and that's assuming you are at the top of your profession - a lot of people doing writer's work (such as writing spec scripts) have never had a gig, and even among those who do get a paying writing job many won't find a second. I don't know the numbers for TV writers, but 65% of people with a movie writing credit only ever get the one, and only 20% get 3 or more. Residuals might take the edge off, but if you're only expecting to see one solid payday a decade you better be getting enough to buy a house.

I suppose it depends on what "pass a referendum consistent thereto" means. I have no idea.

My suspicion is that it's talking out of both sides of their mouth. It means they can go to any kooks and say "We want to secede", while saying to everybody else "oh, it's just a referendum to re-assert what we already claim to be true, just for funsies".
The tradeoffs are more subtle. A JIT compiler has more timing constraint, but more information about the runtime behavior of code.

As a counter-point to your argument, consider a highly dynamic language such as JavaScript, in particular the '+' operator. An AOT compiler would have no choice but dispatch to a generic heavy implementation that could handle any possible combination of inputs. On the other hand a JIT compiler can observe the runtime values used and specialize using Inline Caches, potentially down to just a few instructions.

Maybe what the American public needs is a little gore to snap them out of whatever trance is making them constantly vote for these disasters.

Look at how vanilla and sanitized 'mass shooting' news has become:

Talking head: "Tonight another mass shooting. Over to our field correspondent..."
Field reporter: "Thanks, Mike! Another terrible mass shooting."
[Camera shows vague picture of a police car]
Police officer: "There was another mass shooting. We came here. Things happened."
[Camera shows SFW picture of a body bag that may or may not be on top of human-like form]
Bystander: "Yup, I can tell you there was a shooting and I was scared."
[Camera shows an ambulance]
Talking Head: "Well, public, you're now informed. Back to beer commercials!"

Perhaps if they actually showed the brutal, gory aftermath of these things, we might stop supporting representatives who do their best to keep them happening.

IMHO, there's a big difference between doodling, making paper airplanes, trying to wordlessly communicate with friends, etc. vs cell phones.

At minimum, the previous boredom regime taught you how to (a) be okay with nothing happening & (b) use your creativity to amuse yourself using the materials and capabilities at hand.

Both of those skills seem to have atrophied in post-smartphone generations.
There are two taxes that apply to dividends in Sweden. First the company has to pay a corporate tax of 20.7% on profits. After that tax the person receiving the dividend has to pay a capital gains tax of 20%[1]. So the effective tax rate is 36% [2] which is about half (?) of the tax on labor.

Also, companies do not have to pay VAT on services and goods, so it's very common to by work tools and such through the company. Then you're able to buy stuff for untaxed money and without paying VAT. You're not allowed to pay for private living expenses through the company, but I know people that do that, which effectively makes the tax rate 0%. Until you get audited that is. Buying a computer, headset and paying for your phone service through the company is just fine.

[1] note that there is a cap on how large dividends you only pay 20% on, over that cap the tax rate is higher

I think what's needed here is actually just a cross-platform binary format that can be linked and loaded without using the OS native linker, along with an integration with cross-compilers. Java apps mostly use JNI to either access operating system specific APIs, or to access high performance hardware the JVM doesn't directly expose (like simd), and WASM doesn't help you with either.

And then you also have the problem that WASM/WASI is basically a new OS which is incompatible with every other, so it requires ports.

On the other hand, if you had something like ELF, PE or Mach-O but designed for cross-platform distribution and which had a nice and convenient cross-building toolchain and a portable dynamic linker, then it'd be a lot easier to compile and distribute once but use on every OS. Sort of like MachO fat binaries but more fine grained and not Apple specific.

Graal also has some sort of capacity for that in the way it can execute LLVM bitcode. You can do it either inside a sandbox that looks like a virtualized Linux (syscalls are recompiled into upcalls into the JVM), or it can be allowed to access native code. There is a toolchain that you simply point your PATH at and it produces the necessary files. But, it's not well known, LLVM bitcode still requires JIT compilation before it can execute on the CPU, and the toolchain doesn't really cross-compile in the way I mean above. Plus bitcode isn't a stable format.
I've been to visit friends in neighborhoods in Seattle where they put up apartment buildings with no parking, and what happened is street parking turned into a shit show for blocks around as people parked in fire lanes or blocked driveways.

People still need a car in Seattle and building expensive luxury apartments without sufficient parking spaces for the residents just seems like a way to off-load the costs of the developers onto the surrounding neighborhoods. The apartments aren't any more affordable from what I could tell.
>As for the US, I did say actually passing a constitutional amendment to allow succession would be unlikely, but I don't think it's legally impossible?

Why would you need a constitutional amendment for more seasons of a popular TV show?

Even if the producers don't want to make any more episodes, all it would take is the money to acquire the rights to the show and pay for production costs. No Constitutional Amendment (or even a law) required.

> The way the country was set up, the laws that affect you are supposed to be made at as local of a level as possible

That's not really true. The various states are (and always have been) unitary states from a political governance perspective. As expressed in modern jurisprudence, the majority of states are Dillon Rule states: states where local governments are purely creatures of the state government, and whose powers (or even existence) can be expanded or abrogated at the sole pleasure of the state.

> and the federal government exists solely to pass laws that affect the entire country, about matters that the states can't handle themselves the way they want, and it's supposed to still be kept as minimal/small as possible.

This is somewhat more true, but it's still a pretty poor reflection. Recall that the US Constitution was not the first form of government the US had: it was a response to the issues with the Articles of Confederation, which had the "federal" government as much, much weaker. It's not even fair to call the US a federal government at that point; the notion of a federal state--two levels of government, each with their own, independent locus of power not derived from the pleasure of the other--was more or less created from scratch for the Constitution.

The Constitution does limit the powers of the federal government to, broadly speaking, two areas, with a third later being developed via amendments. These are international affairs (both in treaty making and military developments) and commercial regulation, with enforcement of civil rights later coming into play. Now, it's the case that things like the EPA or FDA aren't mentioned by the Constitution, but that kind of regulatory authority just didn't exist when it was written, and the existing grants of commercial regulation strongly suggest that it is intended for the federal government to have that regulatory authority to provide a single, integrated market among the several states of the union.
Also if you want to do just one project (i.e. you don't produce music/video for a living, but you know enough to do your own stuff), then you can probably get away with paying $5 a month for just enough months to finish your project.

That was a use case completely uncatered for with a $400 one-off license fee.
I'm happy with Mastodon and want the fediverse to succeed. I don't want one single project controlling the fediverse. I have a feeling Bluesky is trying to Microsoft (embrace, extend, extinguish) the fediverse. Why? Because there is no clear way to make money off people in the fediverse. You can't rent seek like the centralized services do. My sense is Bluesky is embracing federation the same way Microsoft embraced open source.
