Install Gentoo (not a joke! I have a 22 core CPU and it really helps)

Do heavy video processing.

Get a 4 channel TV Tuner card and a lifetime Plex membership, and use it to DVR OTA broadcast. Transcode them, which is where a beefy machine comes in - the default ts format takes up too much space. Lots of good shows on PBS. And as much as people complain about Plex, there is no good substitute for their DVR service.

> it was a nice intro to the world of BTC Lightning payments, and oh boy how many possibilities it sprung in my mind. I'm amazed that this is not yet widely adopted

I think there are two main roadblocks at the moment.

One: Media keeps talking only about the dollar price of BTC. Your average Joe does not understand the utility nor the need for BTC. They see it only as a speculative investments. The cryptobros do not help either, they only reinforce this idea.

Two: People don’t understand, and don’t want to understand, how to get Bitcoin. I’m not saying everyone should be mining. But most people are not yet interested in learning how to buy BTC on an exchange. Much less, to learn how to self custody.

The first time I transacted on the Bitcoin blockchain was in 2015. In late 2017 I got caught up in the speculation hype. Early 2018 I sold out, and had approx no gain nor any loss. Today I am using BTC as a store of value. The volatility is a bit uncomfortable sometimes but. I want to break free from the banker fricks, and I want to be in control of my money. I want to be able to save the money I make, by using BTC. And I want to one day buy a house. Soon. Not because of USD price of BTC, but simply because of working and making enough to afford a house without taking a bank loan. That is what BTC is, a store of value, and a means of transacting.

I’m always happy to hear when people use BTC for real life transactions. At the moment I still have to convert back to fiat to pay bills, buy groceries etc etc

> This is just the beginning of all US federal agencies being gutted down to the core I hate to say it.

I agree, but am pleased to see it.

From a personal perspective, every hobby or interest I have exposes some other federal agency that's hostile toward it, and hated by that community for going well beyond their statutory authority.

Speaking more generally... I think severely curtailing the non-statutory authority of federal agencies is just about the only path toward keeping our federal system in the long run. Most of this country (by area, not population) is increasingly resentful of the federal government's actions, and their ability to enforce the law is decaying over time.

I think we'll see the Chevron Doctrine significantly limited, if not completely overturned. There are several firearms cases working their way through the courts now that would be well-suited for that. If it's done via another case, those will likely be remanded and reversed by the appellate to avoid setting more precedent specific to firearms.

In most cases it isn't a literal subsidy. Fannie Mae acts as a government-sponsored market maker to purchase home mortgages from lenders, then package and sell them to investors. By providing an "artificial" source of liquidity and taking on significant balance sheet risk they keep mortgage interest rates much lower than they would be in a free market system.

I’ve found it’s very useful for understanding snippets of code, like a 200-line function. But systems are more than “lots of 200-line functions” - there’s a lot of context hidden in flags, conditional blocks, data, Git histories.

Maybe one day, we’ll be able to run it over all the Git histories, Jira tickets, Confluence documentation, Slack conversations, emails, meeting transcripts, presentations, etc. Until then, the humans will need to stitch it all together as best they can.

As I heard it, they wrote the script without concern for the gender of the actors, and they picked actors for the parts based on auditions. Although commercial reach reasons would also fit.

Inside Disney and Comcast’s Fight Over the Future of Hulu
I agree the For You tab is quite good, and is certainly better than the "recommended" tab was pre-acquisition. I wouldn't normally like being a "reply guy," but the For You tab ensures that even with hardly any followers, I can get targeted engagement when posting a reply on an extremely niche subject like package.json exports or iptables. And in turn, the algorithm responds by showing me more of that content in the future. That's the sort of positive feedback loop I appreciate, and one that will encourage more people like me (< 200 followers) to engage with Twitter.

However, it also seems to interpret "hate viewing" as "high interest" in terms of engagement. Sometimes I'll look at an account just one time, often by searching for it, in order to see some Tweet that's in the news or generating controversy. And then a few days later I'll start seeing Tweets from similar accounts in the "for you" tab, which I definitely don't want to see.

On other websites with recommendation algorithms, like YouTube, I can avoid this effect by viewing ragebait content in an incognito window, effectively curating my algorithm by opting out of it for content I don't want affecting future recommendations. But I can't do that with Twitter, because the login wall requires authentication to view more than the top three replies to a tweet. I wish there were some way to give the algorithm more intentional feedback on its recommendations.
Hopefully it doesn’t come to this. I will get prepared for the worst though. Thank you!
Cody, Wyoming is a beautiful city with all the natural wonders that could be had for nature lovers and those who would like to escape from metro areas for some peace & quiet.

A very nicely laid out city, ironically settled by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or Mormons. I was surprised at not reading a whit of this from those opposing the Temple as well as those who would want members to move.

The layout of Cody proper was taken from the plans of then Salt Lake City.

These concerns about lighting in the evening, disturbing the natural eco system of the area in which Temples are built, concerns of traffic harming the quality of life for the neighborhood are all too familiar and in the end are worry unrealized. Nothing but positives where these Temples land over time, so proactive in addressing concerns and modifying what can be modified in order to be good neighbors to the communities involved. Having experienced this in our lives over 20 years ago in South Richland, WA, as well as recently in Moses Lake, WA, I know first hand.

Calm your fears, you will be a blessed community, member or non-member due to facility. The data is there and shows this to be true, not withstanding those who for their own reason will never think differently.

I didn't lie. I said "a passport and visa is easy to get if your skin color is the right shade of white" which does not mean it is impossible to get otherwise.

Try getting an immigration visa as an Indian or a Chinese vs. being an Australian or from the UK, and tell me with a straight face that it is just as easy to get for the former as the latter. Now try that getting that visa as a white Mexican vs a non-white Mexican. American immigration policy is still implicitly racist, and the only reason immigration is skewed that way is because of demand for immigrating into the USA in the first place.

If your family has been in the USA for a few generations, your ancestors more than likely came here as undocumented. Its just now a certain segment of "got mine, scr*w you" America wants to call those same people as illegal immigrants.

I don't love reducing this to economics, but at the end of the day if you can't pay your LPs, you can't pay your GPs, and when you have second-rate GPs you're going to wind up with second-rate founders.

Without jet engines or jet fuel and in general being much less useful for mass destruction [1] there's a lot less need for "airplane security" and the modern American TSA apparatus. I still feel like that alone provides some benefits over current air travel modes. It would be nice to again have a form of more leisurely air travel with fewer security checkpoints and armed marshals involved.

Beyond that, Airships can be more "luxurious" in terms of cabin space utilization, given the differences in safety needs during takeoff/landing and turbulent environments in comparison to other aircraft. They can be more social and humane. That can be a fun trade-off for the differences in travel time. An airship cabin could be a bar/casino/lounge and give you something to do while you travel (in the old ways of train transportation and river transportation). They can give your legs some space to walk around rather than remain uncomfortably trapped in a single seat for hours (risking embolisms and related problems).

[1] Even when filled purely with Hydrogen. We all know the pop culture images of the Hindenburg disaster, but that disaster was incredibly relatively safe. It was "slow motion" enough that very few casualties occurred. Made for spectacular film coverage, of course, but overall everything about it was on a very different scale from modern jet liner crashes and pop culture has over the decades done nothing but ballooned the idea of the danger much beyond what it actually was.

There are some interesting niche historical museums and sites around Sacramento.

If it counts as a museum, the trains of the first transcontinental railroad at

Kids about 7-14 like the Exploratorium. It used to be over by the Palace of Fine Arts.

Most boys roughly 5-15 get a kick out of The Hiller.

In the world, one of the most interesting is the Torture Museum.

Elon talks about the average size of a tweet as 100 bytes (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1534939289653592065?lang...) so we're talking about writing 5.3MB of data and reading 1MB of data per month.

There's no world where that costs $100, $10, or even $1. My GoogleFi plan costs me $10/1GB.

It's wildly apparent that Twitter is overstating the value of the service they provide to the detriment to their users. They aren't trying to offer break-even prices for hobbyists.
He cut Twitter's expenses significantly while avoiding reliability issues (a feat that debunked several predictions by tech "experts" on HN about potential major outages) and while adding several new useful features. Admittedly, his decision to unban several controversial figures was debatable from a business standpoint, at least in the short term. However, this was not an oversight but a conscious decision, based on principles rather than profits.

> s haven’t tried GPT-4 or they have and are just stubbornly refusing to change their mind about something when presented with new evidence.

Have you considered that the evidence just isn't convincing yet?

If you view popular llms as text prediction machines, they are in fact much better than spell check or auto correct from a few years ago. But if you actually ask it to solve the problem with nuance it will not use nuance. That's the part that would impress me.

As a recent example if you ask chat GPT how to use ffmpeg to slice out a video. and you tell it that you only want 3 seconds of video. somebody who deeply understands how ffmpeg works, (or even someone who deeply read the documentation) would point out that you have to be aware that it can only cut to keyframes. so if the keyframe is not aligned to the time you ask for you will not get the video that you expect.

another example ask it to play 20 questions with you, it will cheat at the end. even if you give it very specific instructions it still is unable to follow them to the fair conclusion of the game. (or it will make a mistake and understanding about some of the semantics of the question, but I don't fault it for a difference in context)

I'd caution you that just because you're impressed for the subjects that you understand deeply does not mean that chat gpt is good at all subjects. and therefore I assert that it is disrespectful to be so dismissive of people who have different opinions than yours. I believe the default should be to assume good faith rather than dismissiveness "they just don't understand"

You don't need to be a savvy operator at all, you just need to have followed US politics for more than a few years. The parties have been doing this since, what? 2014? We're going on a decade of this. Both parties do it and always compromise just fine in the end. Blaming one party or the other shows a distinct lack of self-awareness.

Land doesn’t vote.
So your assertion is that the gun the GOP is pointing at the US economy isn't a big deal because the economy has a bulletproof vest on?

Or you think that the Democrats are to blame for not capitulating to a hostage-taker's demands?

I'm not a trained economist, so I can't weigh in on the "how big a deal is this really" conversation. But I know how the debt and the debt ceiling have been explained to me, and it sounds as though the "debt ceiling" should not exist. It is not a budgeting item. It is an arbitrary constraint that now only exists to allow the Republicans to play chicken with the world economy.

Want better spending habits? Want federal budgets tied to fiscal caps? Write a bill that requires debt to be factored into budgets at the budget building stage. No one should get to tell the Treasury to stop payment on things we've already told citizens and bondholders we would pay for.

Of course, building a budget on an annual basis is too much for Congress, too, which is why we should radically transform our federal government. Articles 1,2 and 3 need a rewrite. I digress.

Hmm... So, we will build a Turing machine (TM1) that will simulate this other Turing machine (TM2) and TM1 will tell us if TM2 will maliciously halt bringing down the world's infrastructure. Wait.... that requires the halting problem to be decidable (which it isn't).

Let us substitute regular testing in lieu of formal verification. TM1 will snapshot TM2 periodically. If TM1 doesn't find a suspicious state, it will conclude TM2 is running normally.

That's just great.

Both those things will soon become false - US economy will be eclipsed by China, and the process of de-dollarisation of world's reserves is accelerating. The fact that the US can print as many dollars as they want is one of the reasons for it.

This is not a problem. We know this isn't a problem, because ABS almost always uses wheel speed sensors to do it's thing, and ESC usually taps into the same wheel speed sensors. Hell, those sensors are often used to tell you when your tires are low on pressure, and yet that doesn't prevent any of the other functions from working, or even affect your speedometer enough to care.

Changing wheel size enough to affect readings of speed does not change the broad slope of the derivative of wheel speed.
