It's not easy to move your viewership out of Twitch. Even top Twitch streamers had this difficulty so it's not going to be doable for an up and coming streamer.
> Good grief. I wish we could skip the incrementalism for once and just put an end to all animal slaughter, extreme or not.

At some point - we have to eat something that is alive. Even plants react to being damaged in intentional and measurable ways (including trying to repair themselves, signaling neighbors of the damage, and passing nutrients to each other in response). I think it's impossible to ditch incrementalism, because EVERYTHING we eat is already somewhere on that sliding scale of "something alive that is trying to stay that way".

I am in favor of reducing the harm I am able to, while still acknowledging that simply existing requires that I consume resources (And those resources have to be a living thing, because humans are consumers... not producers). Those resources could have gone to keep another living thing alive, but I am using them. At some point, I expect to die, and it will be something else's turn.

> It's a welcome change from the insane hustle culture of the last 15 years, and that they want to live simply and pursue higher meaning and purpose in their lives is great.

"Pursue higher meaning and purpose" is still striving, basically a different face of the hustle culture you speak of. I'm already FIRE, but I basically putter around most days. I don't think there's any particular higher meaning or purpose that makes sense for me to chase.
Huh interesting it does appear pretty good at summarization when I tried it. Are they consistent enough to not modify the information or mix up numbers in your experience?

That's my main concern is it making "changes" to what it's summarizing for that usecase.
Better in what sense?
I should add that while this only works with Postgres, there's no reason this only has to work with Golang. I'm planning on releasing implementations for Typescript and Python over the next few months. If anyone would like to help out, send me an email (in my bio) or send a PR/note on Github.
Excellent. This is a good approach. The most hilarious way to deal with Google's lack of leadership would be to build out a browser that rivals their offering on top of their own core.
Deep learning actually provides something of value now, and the training is in service of seeing if maybe it could do better in the future. Crypto provides a way to part fools from their money, and a way to circumvent financial laws.

Yes, I get that there's "value" to circumventing sanctions and whatnot, but that's the same sort of value as making people phone you to cancel a subscription or optimizing CTR on an ad or whatever. It's not the kind of "value" that benefits society.

Yeah, people forget that the iPhone was actually considered a flop when it first launched; it was too expensive so despite the interest in the product relatively few people were actually willing to pay for it.

The true genius was getting AT&T to subsidize the handsets and pay for the marketing, which gave Apple a lifeline worth billions and essentially created the market.
I don't know why HN is so obsessed with this particular image format. Adding image formats on the web has a really high maintainability cost and there is a fairly reasonable argument that it wasn't worth it in this case.

Alternative to ngrok, no login or API keys required. You can share your localhost project, use for webhooks and go online in a single command. It includes Persistent URLs, custom domains, multiple tunnels per host, TLS termination, SSL certs. I used ngrok for a while and seemed expensive and frictionful. So i wrote a tool for myself and have been using it for my projects. It's pay what you like. Please feedback if it doesn't work as expected, i can help fix it.

I'm from a country that uses subtitles for foreign movies, but in the last decade I have begun to activate subtitles for native movies as well. Good subtitles are not distracting and I sometimes even forget that they are there. It's a seamless experience for me.

Somwtimes I watch American movies that are missing translated subtitles and have to use English subtitles. These are often closed captions instead of normal subtitles. I think those can actually be distracting.

Unless [DOG BARKING] is an essential part of the story, they should just leave it. It often has no relevance to the story and is just added to fill an otherwise silent scene. A classic example is someone walking in a neighborhood at night, and the director felt they had to add some type of noise to justify their budget.

A person who does not have problems with hearing also does not need subtitles to be prefixed with the name of the character.

What you need is two sets of subtitles. If the streaming services insist on badly mixed audio, they should at least provide good subtitles for everyone.

I think the issue with American subtitles is that viewers are not yet used to them, and the producers don't have enough experience to make good subtitles.

When HBO started streaming in my country, the app used white text without any background... It's things like these that adds up to a bad experience. I could spend hours writing about them

Netflix also used to have subtitles that were difficult to read, so I assume it's due to the lack of experienced product managers/designers in this particular area

You might could hit 5Ghz by overclocking the appropriate CPU. I remember 10 years ago looking at the liquid cooling setups needed to hit 5Ghz on a core.
I don't mind the impending death of the suit, but I hope it doesn't get too weird to wear blazers and sport coats in informal settings, in my lifetime. They're so very nice. Wish I'd started wearing them years ago. Like a hoodie, but looks way better and has a ton more pockets. I'd hate to see that go the way of nice-looking hats (you can't wear those anymore unless you're 80 years old or want to look like a douchebag—your only option if you're not in one of those categories is bad-looking hats, which is unfortunate)

That and loafers. I'd been slipping on my (tied) sneakers for years, while all that time I could have had a shoe designed for that and that looks way nicer and lasts far longer! In America, you can dress those all the way up to business formal and down to going-to-the-grocery-store! So versatile. What a fool I was.

Incidentally, we in (at least certain segments of) this industry definitely have a look. I've got a pretty good record of spotting tech workers in non-tech-heavy areas and settings based solely on clothes & affect taken in from a distance, and I don't just mean when one's wearing legible clothing with some tech slogans or logos on them.
I'd also venture to guess (no hard numbers) that most successful streamers -- measured as "they don't need a day job" -- started streaming as a hobby. Such a person is much more likely to be willing to spend a few dollars a month, especially considering they'll likely already have purchased a microphone and webcam.

That being said, maybe it's better for it to be free considering the people paying for such a hobby would be among this "massive pipeline of kids dreaming to be stars".
For the next few months at least, it looks like JPEG XL is just going to be one of those formats for Apple users, like HEIC. With people complaining about programs not supporting WEBP all the time, JPEG XL isn't going to gain much popularity in the mainstream either.

At least people supporting Safari will be able to make use of the format for faster load times soon; the <picture> element makes the transition quite painless after all.

Has anyone tried Steam under Linux? It's quite bad under MacOS (2016 casual games stutter, and there is no 32 bit support).

Thanks for explaining why this is an apocalyptic religion. It's all there:

- reliance on apocalyptic fantasies to defend unethical decisions (while actual suffering and real threats flourish)

- inability to comprehend pragmatic humanistic and ethical thinking unless it's justified by irrational utopian fantasies (e.g. space civilization)

It's some kind of a perverse attempt to define agnostic morals.

But sincerely, I don't even believe that - it's more like a modern scam religion to distract from actual problems.

E.g, AI could be used to limit resource consumption, provide efficient public transport, feed the world.

Instead it'll be used to maximize resource consumption of rich people (cough, autonomous self-driving electric cars, but not for everyone...)
> HN is possible because it's not optimised to it's full monetary potential.

This sounds eerily similar to congestion-based breakdown in data networks, or the impossibility of a 100% efficient windmill. If you squeeze too hard, you end up with ~nothing.
The biggest risk with AI, in the medium-term at least, is it will be used by governments and organizations with power to surveil and manipulate people on a previously-impossible scale. Automated systems monitoring everybody, pulling levers to prevent anybody from speaking out or causing trouble.

In the long run, it will be the end of human freedom

For example, it looks like Xi has been pretty actively pursuing this, based on the news over the last 10 years

> China has one surveillance camera for every 2 citizens (...) These camera [sic] checks if people are wearing face mask, crossing the road before the green lights for pedestrians are turned on. If caught breaking rules, people lose their social credit points, are charged higher mortgage, extra taxes and slower internet speed. Not only that, public transport for them gets expensive as well, and the list goes on. [1]

It's not like we're immune to this. All the malls I go to lately are packed with facial recognition systems to analyze our behaviour.

More humane slaughter for now. Eventually, eating them will doubtless be banned. You can tell from the sentience in the name of the law what the intent is.

I don’t know where I heard this analogy, but there are lots of things in life that don’t change linearly, but asymptotically to some target, and the analogy ad absurdum goes something like: “Thousands of years ago we thought the earth was flat, now we think it’s round, what’s next? A torus?”

The idea being that there is a period of massive change as we figure out how something ought to work, but then once we do, the change gradually slows and then stops. Spreadsheets are basically a solved problem, and they’re also very useful, so for certain types of work, changing it is probably only going to make it worse. Multiply that by all sorts of different types of software, and it’s hard to find any areas where we fundamentally need a new paradigm.

So it’s not surprising that 25 years ago, software was changing all the time, and since then it only seems like we’ve changed the window dressing. Because most of the time, we actually got it right 25 years ago, and there’s no reason to change it further.

I’m increasingly of the mind that AGI _is_ the great filter. For all of human history people have leveraged knowledge to gain advantage over one another. Why anyone would want to create a super intelligent entity, much less be arrogant enough to believe that they can control it is beyond me. That said, climate change is going to get us anyway, so f**k it, let’s give AGI a shot.

Alive and sentient aren't the same thing. You can eat non-sentient beings that are alive (like plants) and they won't suffer.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant 'a humane execution'. Requiring a human execution before eating meat is a little extreme.
I don't disagree with you regarding the negative cultural shift caused by social media nor your concerns about stuff like kids wanting to be TikTok famous. Where I do disagree though is your suggestion that kids now are exclusively content consumers at a level higher than in the past and the idea that tech like smart phones and tablets have caused that to happen. If anything it feels like kids have access to way more ways to be creative and create new things than ever thanks to those devices.

When I was about 10 years old I wanted to make a movie (it was going to be a basketball version of The Sandlot) but my parents didn't own a camcorder and couldn't afford to buy me one so I was out of luck and never got to experiment creatively in that way. Last time I saw my brother's family his 9 year old was super excited to show me the musical she and her friends had recorded using her Amazon Fire tablet. My cousin's 12 year old has a bunch of (actually rather impressive) stop motion shorts on Youtube that he created and edited on the family's iPad.

In high school it was super time consuming and slow learning to program reading books and writing simple command line programs I could only run after being super careful installing a Linux distro from a CD in a magazine on my family's one PC cause the C book I bought was unix focused. Now my significant other's 16 year old niece is learning to program on an iPad with Swift Playgrounds, she was literally doing it sitting on the beach last time we went on vacation together. My sister's 11 year old meanwhile loves showing off the frankly ridiculous number of levels he built in Roblox just using an iPad.

Like yeah, theres definitely a lot of kids (and adults) that do not create and only consume content, and I've definitely seen all of the kids I mentioned doing the dead-eyed-stare-at-glowing-screen thing, but I don't think thats new, most kids and people in general have always been like that. And yes most devices are mostly used for consumption, but suggesting those devices limit the ability of kids to be creative just seems incorrect when I see them providing so many creative outlets that I never had access to because they didn't exist previously.

Not necessarily. I've taken LSD before and it legitimately seems to increase persistence of vision (otherwise known as tracers). If I wave my paw in a circle on LSD, I can see a short trail behind it, and it seems to slightly lag behind its actual real-world position (by around a quarter of a second?).

It looks a lot like this: https://youtu.be/ggFKLxAQBbc?t=26
This is true though. Modern warfare became much less deadly to civilians. Just compare Russia's total brutal destruction of Mariupol with their barbaric indiscriminating artillery barrages and Ukraine's almost bloodless liberation of Kherson, without a single artillery or air strike on the city itself — a very clear contrast between 20th and 21st century's warfare.

Wars will never go away, but by making them more precise and intelligent, we can make them not as horrible as they were in the past.
