I don't know enough technically to comment on, but am curious how this plays into the mobile gaming device SOC/CPUs from AMD. I can say, really like my M1 air, generally good enough battery life and great i/o responsiveness in general. Of course, then I price out a M2 mini, and once I add enough storage/ram it's no longer feels worth the price. Why they even sell a model with under 512gb storage or 16gb memory other than to have a lower "starting from", and even getting to 1tb disk and 16gb or 32gb memory already feels like way too much of a price hike.
We are often told that the conflict in WW2 was a conflict between a clearly good side and a clearly evil side. While it's true one of the sides was certainly the a much greater evil, it would be disingenuous to hide the short comings of the "good" side. The USA was a country that at the time still practiced segregation, and was the only country to use nuclear weapons. The British, French and Belgian empires and their conduct in India and their African colonies was not far off from what the Germans were accused of. It's not good to whitewash these facts.
What is the ugliness you're talking about? They're clear and explicitly named so I'm not sure what you could change that would make things better

Show HN: Zenitizer – Clean and Simple Meditation for Apple Devices
Hey everyone! After running a public beta for Zenitizer over the last couple months, it is now officially available to download on the App Store: https://zenitizer.app/install

My goal was to create a clean and simple (yet highly customizable) timer for "unguided meditations" (i.e. no spoken word content).

The timer is customizable with a range of different bells and soothing background soundscapes. Regular interval bells remind the user to return their focus on the breath when thoughts drift off. You can save your favorite timer presets as "routines" and quickly play them via Siri or Home Screen Widgets.

Users are motivated to keep up a regular meditation practice by setting a daily goal and tracking their meditation streak:
It is sufficient to meditate even one minute a day to keep the streak - you only need to reach your goal to grow the streak. I wanted to prevent users from feeling pressure about breaking streaks and reward them for meditating at all, however little.

Personally, I am particularly happy about Zenitizer's deep Shortcuts integration. Just say "Hey Siri, meditate with Zenitizer" or "Check my Zenitizer streak". With Shortcuts, you can also build cool automations like starting a meditation, setting a HomeKit scene and enabling Do Not Disturb Focus Mode with a single command.

Can you give some reasoning for this? Reddit certainly feels this way but I can't find anything other than "feels likes" for reasoning. If you compare die SKUs to generations, 3000 series got a "bump" (xx80 -> xx102) while 1000, 2000, and 4000 are consistent (xx80 -> xx104, xx80Ti -> xx102, xx60 -> xx106)

You make a good point, but there also could be more to it than that:

- Need to make sure the photographers are careful not to damage fragile pages

- Need a system of organization (syncing ten thousand default-named iphone pics with no labels is not ideal)

- You might be ignoring important differences between modern published books on your bookshelf and these materials (ex. maybe font is not same size, maybe font is not modern English, maybe characters are not printed consistently, maybe pages are dirty, all of which could impact OCR-friendliness of an iphone pic compared to something else

- There might even be valuable information in markings below the topmost visible layer which could be revealed by scanning equipment (especially for example if pages are stuck together)

And that's just off the top of my head, without real domain knowledge.
This is likely being downvoted because the US isn't donating weapons to Ukraine, it's leasing them to Ukraine in the same manner that the US leased weapons to the UK during WWII. The UK only finished repaying that debt in 2006.

Vertical works fine for like, a video of someone talking. But majority of scenarios it just doesn't make sense. Film aspect ratios evolved the way they did for a reason. If you're trying to fit a lot of "things" into frame, due to the nature of gravity they're probably gonna be sitting horizontally next to each other. Not stacked on top of each other vertically.

If I want to take a picture of my desk I need to shoot in landscape. If I really want to do it in portrait I'm gonna have to either use a fish-eye lens to warp the shot, or take several steps back, leaving a bunch of useless space on the top/bottom.

I think their mistake wasn't necessarily with ARM, so much as an exclusive contract with Qualcomm iirc.
Wars are fought by governments, but often started by individuals with massive leverage over the war-fighting apparatus of governments. Industry veterans hired to patronage positions in high office, who then push the government into a war that will benefit the industry or company. Or media companies, headed by executives seeking to push their own political will on nations, that harangue the public with fear and anger to instill a desire for war.

Governments have basically no agency or will of their own. They're like a mecha suit from an anime. Lots of infrastructure, but where they go and what they do is up to whomever's at the controls at the time.
> If you want to run ClickHouse at scale, you have to run your own k8s, figure out how to manage persistent storage, figure out how to replicate your data, manage cluster replicated tables, etc. Once you outgrow single instance, things get exponentially more difficult - both for the admins and for the users.

This greatly overstates the difficulty of running ClickHouse as well as the current state of the market.

1. ClickHouse has a good Kubernetes operator written by Altinity that manages most of the basic Kubernetes operations. It's used to operate many thousands of ClickHouse clusters worldwide both self-managed environments as well as multiple SaaS offerings of ClickHouse. (Disclaimer: it's written by my company.)

2. If you don't want the trouble of running ClickHouse there are now multiple cloud vendors in every geographic region offering ClickHouse-as-a-Service. Among other things competition keeps prices reasonable and ensures plenty of choice for users.

There are real differences between Snowflake and ClickHouse but ease of operation is no longer one of them. For example one major difference between Snowflake and ClickHouse from a user perspective is the following: You can develop great Snowflake applications just with a knowledge of SQL whereas for ClickHouse you really have to know how it works inside.
Hi everyone in this blog I will share my story how I sold one of my projects called "beSocial" for 30 USD to a foreign client.

Last year, in November I built a social-media-cum-blogging platform called "beSocial", which featured all the basic functionalities that are found in typical social media site: like share post, like/dislike, comment, follow/unfollow etc.

The project was made using Nodejs, Expressjs, Mongodb and other NPM libraries. I hosted it on Render.com in free tier. The website was minimalistic and easy to operate. It took me a week to design and develop it from scratch.

After deploying and getting beSocial live, I decided to sell it on sideprojectors.com, a platform where you can list your side projects. I listed beSocial for $30.

In May, I got an email from a person in Kenya, he was interested in buying the source-code of beSocial. I created a sales agreement and sent it to him. After three days he sent me $30 through PayPal and I, as per the agreement sent him the complete proper documentation along with the code, wrapped in a zip file, to him.

If anybody is interested in beSocial, they can contact me: merudra.official@gmail.com
You're basically saying pooling code between a large group might be worthwhile even if it requires you to take on a lot of book-keeping the computer could in principle help with. I don't think I've seen anyone else put it this way before.

Then again, we have so much compute going to LLMs lately, I wonder if we need to revisit our assumptions about how much hardware we have available for compilation. What might a language look like with the assumption we can spread LLM-training levels of hardware among everyone working on a large codebase? Or a compiler that can consult some sort of ML-based cache for reordering decisions? There's a new space of options opening up here.
Clearly that's not correct.

If you just want to make vanilla js reactive, you can use solid js but without jsx (or something similar). This library could likely do the same.

import { createRoot, createSignal, createRenderEffect } from "solid-js";

function SomeComponent() {
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);

const result = document.createElement("button");
createRenderEffect(() => result.textContent = "++ (" + count() + ")");
result.onclick = () => setCount(count() + 1);
return result;
}

createRoot(cleanup => {
const appv = document.getElementById("app");
appv.appendChild(SomeComponent());

It does, actually. Most encryption schemes have the property of ciphertext indistinguishability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_indistinguishabilit...

If they didn't, they'd be vulnerable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguishing_attack

However, something close to your point is true. If they compress the data and then encrypt, the ciphertext will indeed be smaller than the original data.
Hey there. Firstly, Congratulations on the progress. From the screenshot, I can tell you the UI/UX is great. I have been maintaining Awesome PaaS [1]. Overtime, I have started feeling this space has become commoditised. Because of containers, kubernetes etc. this has been an explosion in the number of tools in the space, however in your case, because of the django/python niche you might have something. In my opinion, very few early stage apps fit into PaaS model, most of the orgs have so much customization that it hard to fit them into your platform. I guess with Django as framework specialization this won't be a problem. Goodluck, with your endeavours.

Honestly it would feel magic back in 2009. Currently there are huge waves of changes. Everyone trying to offer utopian ecosystem. If the tendency is to gather community, it seems they need to chase companies given that many have somewhat stable stacks. Reshaping existing projects requires way more sacrifices. For example the major shift of Vue 2 to Vue 3, disrupted entire plugins ecosystem for Vue 2. People barely get motivated rewriting same thing for sake of composition api while options API remained. Idk exact reasoning, but there is a huge tech debt on Vue 2 plugin ecosystem. So again sacrifices, sacrifices.
Note that he was possibly also asked to lead a coup against FDR [1] which was never substantiated, but rhymes with other stuff going on at that time such as that covered by "Invisible Hands: A narrative history of the influential businessmen who fought to roll back the New Deal." [2]

These conservative groups were also heavily involved with extremist anti-communist and oft times pro-fascist efforts, even involving the CIA such as that covered by "The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government" [3] that shows how Dulles & Co. supported these same rightist American elites' business interests. One of these was Fred Koch - ie father of the infamous Koch Brothers, who expanded his campaign massively to this day.

Eisenhower's "Military Industrial Complex" final speech [4] actually was made because he was heavily pressured by these same groups to both profit from fighting the Cold War and as well as encourage its anti-communism to remove the threat to their wealth.

Anti-communism in the West can largely be viewed as wealthy businessmen being scared of getting their assets seized and making a long-term scare campaign to get the public onboard. I'm not saying I like communism at all, but their reaction was often very bad for the American people and the world in general, and it continues in forms to this day.

Twitter didn't "completely" crap out. There was a slight hiccup when a Twitter Space event was delayed by 20 minutes as engineers worked to accommodate the unexpected load. But speaking from personal experience as a daily Twitter user, I've noticed no significant issues post-takeover.

This type of exaggeration perfectly illustrates the mainstream media's tendency to perpetuate misinformation about Twitter. It contributes to the false narrative that Elon's stewardship is 'destroying' Twitter, which is far from reality.

How is it abuse? Think about it - something is turned on for you by default, without asking you, which sends all of your DNS lookups to some third party (Cloudflare), which we have no reason to trust (rather, we have plenty of reasons to not trust).

So a public network, which you already have to trust enough to use, tells you which DNS servers to use, and there's an implicit agreement and understanding about that. So which is more abusive - this implicit agreement and understanding, or some third party changing your defaults without asking you which then sends all your lookups to a third party you probably didn't even know anything about?

I think the best part about Nix is that it makes it super easy to get software into your development environment. This layered store is a pretty cool setup to make that efficient for Replit.

Not sure how if Nix/Replit has the program you’re looking for? Or what package name to use to actually get the program you want? Check out my cli search tool:

https://github.com/peterldowns/nix-search-cli

Edit: I can’t help myself from ranting, it’s insane that I had to write this tool. Speaks to the lack of user focus in the Nix community. Even the blog post here doesn’t mention how to actually find packages to install!

A lot of that is from world governments adopting centrally planned economic and scientific goals. We could do this whenever. We don't need a war for it.

I had it extract some general rules from this page and pasted them below:

https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/26302/ffmpeg-cutti...

USER
given the following general rules:

1. The issue described in the text occurs when cutting a video between keyframes, resulting in blank video with original sound.
2. Potential solutions include overlaying the copied part with a few seconds of the re-encoded original, seeking to an earlier frame, finding the previous keyframe and clipping from that, or re-encoding the whole clip.
3. FFmpeg does not have a built-in feature to automatically resolve this issue.

Are any of these rules applicable to the question below?

"how do I use ffmpeg to slice out a video. and I only want 3 seconds of video."
ASSISTANT
Enter an assistant message here.

ASSISTANT
Yes, rule 1 and rule 3 are applicable to the question. The issue of cutting a video between keyframes may apply when slicing out a 3-second video using FFmpeg, and FFmpeg does not have a built-in feature to automatically resolve this issue.

USER
Given that what is the answer to the question

ASSISTANT
To use FFmpeg to slice out a 3-second video, you can use the following command:

```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss START_TIME -t 3 -c:v libx264 -c:a copy output.mp4
```

Replace `START_TIME` with the timestamp (in the format `hh:mm:ss`) from which you want to start the 3-second clip. For example, if you want to start at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the command would be:

```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:30 -t 3 -c:v libx264 -c:a copy output.mp4
```

However, if you encounter an issue with blank video caused by keyframe cutting, you may need to seek to an earlier frame, find the previous keyframe, or re-encode the whole clip as mentioned in the provided rules.

It seems to be able to find the applicable rules and apply them.
