>Sure, but the long-horizon pessimism is back to what I was saying re: isn't that just being pessimistic about capitalism writ large?

I tend to think that, yeah, more often than not, capitalism ruins good things. The only difference is...

>... it doesn't feel healthy or helpful to look at every banal or even positive thing a company does and immediately jump to "but because of capitalism, they're probably going to ruin it all later on."

... I don't do that for every company all the time as some kind of "blanket take". I take it on a case-by-case/circumstantial basis and, in this instance, Discord's current situation (VC-backed tech company taking losses for user growth but will ofc need to profit at some point) makes it, in my eyes, a stronger candidate for the enshittification path than many companies.

>... at some point it feels like texting your friends every morning with "another day closer to dying." It's not wrong, but why do you feel it's important to bring up?

Because I initially commented only taking issue with someone's use of the word "just" when they said this was "just Discord making it easier to set things up and manage" - "just" is disingenuous because it's obvious that Discord would like (needs?) some of that money.

It would only be the equivalent of waking up and texting my friends if I were to have made my own freestanding comment that said, "Hey everyone, this is enshittification!". I didn't do that - I only used that word once you responded to me and prompted me to expand on my thoughts.
Reolink NVR kits do not require apps, and you can configure them on no-internet vlans as well.

There is a max number of cameras though.

You could spin up your own ShinobiCCTV if NVRs are your problem.
Looks nice! I might give it a try when I get the chance.

A few nitpicks:

- It would be nice if exports included the metadata as comments

- When I move my cursor over a code block, any key I press that isn't Enter will erase it, when really I just want to enter the code block and start writing. If I wanted to delete it, I could press del/backspace.

Assuming your numbers are accurate, that's still $5K per trashcan. Aviation is stupidly expensive.

Maybe contacting to a custom shop was an option but would take an extra week, and they needed those E3s in the air ASAP. I don't know what specific circumstances were at play, and neither does anyone in this thread.
Plenty of mathematics is ugly. Just look at optimal packing. People like to focus on the elegant parts.
This is a very disturbing trend for sure. Given that these new cameras that need accounts sure aren’t showing ads on the feeds either, meanwhile an account being required must be important to the manufacturers in some way.

I can only conclude that they must be selling access to feeds, because even the most incompetent agile product delivery manager type person isn’t going to simply suggest every camera needs an account along with all the extra engineering requirements involved for that for simply no reason - there surely must be a financial motive.

Furthermore what good is the feed if they can’t also sell the associated metadata, such as the account holders details, nearby WiFi access points, the list of devices on the network.

This is yet another angle they can use to try track every aspect of a home including the infamous example of Samsung “analysing” what type of content you’re watching and selling that to ad companies.

OP is probably better off looking at enterprise/industrial manufacturers.
> In the above program, why isn't `counter` an object?

> C in itself has no concept of an "object".

You answered your own question.

Without syntax to say "this is an object", you can take literally ANYTHING Turing-complete, mentally group data+functions and then claim "it looks like an object, therefore it is an object, why wouldn't it be an object". "Excel is OO", "Dwarf fortress is OO", "x86 assembly is OO", "pen and paper is OO".

Well, if everything is OO then nothing is OO, you've made it into a meaningless concept.

I suggest we stick to reality. The most basic requirement for a language to be OO is to have some explicit or implicit syntax for objects. That seems to reasonably partition languages into OO and non-OO.

> You are arguing "C cannot be an OO language because it lets you do X, and an OO language won't let you do X."

I'm arguing no such thing, and I never said such a thing. Would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth.

I'll ask again.

In my concrete example, given that FILE and DIR were classified as objects, to which of the so-called objects does F(const char*, FILE, DIR) belong? Possible answers: 1. FILE 2. DIR 3. None of them 4. Both of them 5. They stop being objects 6. New objects are created, and those own F 7.Something else

Pick one. I will then pick any other option and argue that, in my opinion, my chosen answer is the correct one. And then it's suddenly a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact, you won't be able to prove I am wrong, just like I won't be able to prove I'm right. So much for imaginary objects.

EDIT

> In the above program, why isn't `counter` an object?

To drive my point home, why is it an object? Just because you see an object? All I see is a struct containing 5 pointers. Oh, some are function pointers? What's the difference, it's still just a struct containing 5 pointers. You consider it an object, I don't consider it an object, and none of us is wrong.

However, an instance of a C++ class containing members and methods is unambiguously an object because the syntax clearly bound them together. Plus, you can do OO things with this object, which further reinforces the idea that it is an object.
A large portion of people don’t want to memorise all the commands related merging, branching etc, catering towards the lowest common denominator I’d important.

I get what you’re saying, but if most people thought this way products like Obsidian would never be as successful as they are. If you look at what gets added to md documents to support all the different plugins in the community, it’s pretty crazy and a far cry from textbook markdown language.
There is a way to publish a doc without looking like it's been marked up with tags - it's WYSIWYG, and it's by design impossible to achieve by... placing tags right there for everyone to see (though with some syntax highlighting you can make it less visible, bringing it closer to WYSIWYG again!

Markdown especially fails with anything remotely complicated like tables or even something trivial like font size/color
I have worked professionally with access control and surveillance. I can give you two manufacturer recommendations: Axis and Geovision.

Axis cameras are high end and expensive, but they will, in my experience, do anything an IP camera could reasonably be expected to do, and they will do it well. They are European in origin and are available from various retail outlets to ship this week.

Geovision cameras are low end and not expensive. They are Taiwanese in origin and are pretty easy to find.

I have personally configured a wide range of cameras from both of these manufacturers and I have never needed an app or internet connectivity. It's been a few years since I looked at Geovision's product lineup though, my information is not 100% current. I don't have any specific camera recommendations. If I were setting up a home NVR today, I would buy Geovision cameras and put them on an isolated network.

Both of these manufacturers are nominally ONVIF compliant (ONVIF compliance is a mixed bag and can't be fully trusted from any manufacturer IMO) and have readily accessible RTSP streams

And salt is a lot harder than a coffee bean. Blade is probably a really weak/soft metal. Might be harder than salt on the Mohs scale, but that just buys you time.

Blade also gets kicked around more going around the salt instead of grinding through, more bending = shorter lifespan.
In that case, maybe you're just human like the rest of us.
I bought a couple Amcrests just a week ago, and they still operate identically to ones I purchased back in 2017. They have apparently been re-branding Dahua's software, since the HTTP APIs are identical, and there are still lots of "Dauha" strings in the configs[0].

I think a lot of the problems with IP cams aren't with the cameras themselves, but the poor state of open-source media players. Getting mplayer, ffplay, or vlc to play nicely with any ipcam has been a Labor of Hercules. If you're using the versions in repos--which are usually quite stale--all bets are off. I've had much better luck using the latest installers, direct from the project websites. So far, VLC seems to work best for me[1].

See my first reply to the topic for more details, but over a decade ago I worked for Group 33 at Lincoln Labs and we considered trying to keep Boeing from overcharging the government too much to be an unwritten part of our mission.

That would be great! The build guides are helpful, but limiting in that they are often super strict in what they need to be functional, and end game focused.

Sometimes I just want to have a good time trying out a new build, even if it never makes it past early mapping, but the game just makes that so punishingly difficult.

Having a build advisor (maybe even built into the game somehow?) would be awesome. But I think GGG purposefully tries to keep it obscure and complex, maybe to increase longevity? Heck, it worked for me... got bored of Diablo 4 after a week because it was so basic.

Yes, FIFO-LP-QD is similar with a smaller queue and uses FIFO only. But goal is to 1 inspire other lazy promotion and quick demotion technique, and 2 show that FIFO-Reinsrtion is better than LRU and there is no reason to use LRU any more. :)

I'd like to encourage you to check out Vrite as a whole. I'm actively working on this to make it better for documentation and knowledge base management. Good UI and UX are among my top priorities.

There's already Kanban for better management of content production process and I'd say the editor is comparable to Outline. Other views and more editor features are on the way.

Still, as I'm updating it almost daily, self-hosting isn't easy right now. I plan to have a stable version sometime in Q3 of this year, with self-hosting and more features so keep an eye out on that if you're interested.

Fun changes with you i guess.

I've been playing videogames since the days of Pong. I've had a pong console, the ZX Spectrum, the Intel 286,386,486,etc, Xbox, PSP. Still have the Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, GameCube, Wii, Switch and nowadays i play most of my games on my "family gaming computer" which is a MSI Trident 3.

Of course life happened and i don't have much game time. And i got older of course. What i do like are the stories in the games. I like rpgs, but hate the fighting and grinding. I like fpses, but hate their mazes/puzzles (except for the Portal games).

The limited time has made me picky on what game i want to play, so there are very few games that i really complete. I want the most of my invested time. The last one i completed was Star Trek Resurgence. Nice story, nice graphics and the qte's made sure the game progresses without needing much time. It was lots of fun.

I'm still trying to complete Yakuza 5. The stories are nice, but it takes lot of grinding.

I heard they are the go to brand for any goverment organisation that cares about security and privacy.
I'm assuming, given where you're asking, that it would be fine to suggest a DIY option?

If so: on my desk right now is a Raspberry Pi Zero with a NoIR camera, configured so that when it gets power a small Python script starts up as a web server and begins hosting the camera output.

Here's the code for both the server and a webpage to auto-refresh the camera view. MIT license, so have fun:

Show HN: Joi – speech-tech exploration led to AI girlfriend on Telegram (NSFW)
Since few month I've been exploring all kind of AIs. When it came to text-to-speech technologies, the reality of some of them (ElevenLabs here for instance) made me reconsider the way we could interact with AI.
I started working on a Telegram bot, using both speech-to-text and text-to-speech technologies in order recreate a 'real' voice conversation with AI. In the meantime, I was exploring LLM models on HuggingFace, and APIs like their Inference API or even Replicate API to use these custom models, which I wanted to implement in a project as well, part of my exploration.

This is where Joi's idea came - an AI girlfriend 'with benefits' (understand 'intimate talks' or 'uncensored AI' here) as a Telegram bot.

For the ref: Joi is a character from BladeRunner 2049, an AI designed to be the ultimate companion, felt like a good fit.

That's a side project, built over the weekend, but realised it could actually be of use for some, to fight loneliness and so. Or just explore `unprecedented` way to converse with AI.

Added some google ads on it a week ago, until now: ~200 website visits, 60 people visited the TG Bot page, 30 started using it (quite a bad ratio) and used all the trial credits, 2 started paying. Will see how it grows.

What are your thoughts on this kind of AI application? Is it crossing the line? Was fun experimenting though.

Still considering launching it on PH or not - WDYT?
I'm not sure if this is specifically what you're looking for, but some folks have developed software for the budget "Yi" cameras. It complements (doesn't replace) existing firmware, but you can bypass account creation and disable the manufacturer's cloud. I use mine only occasionally so I don't know how it stands up to frequent use.

There are different maintainers for different models, but as far as I can tell they're all pretty similar: https://github.com/search?q=yi%20hack&type=repositories

Edit to add they work pretty well with Home Assistant with this HACS integration: https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack_ha_integration
AIUI that law only apply to businesses who make their employees use the software without accommodating their disablities, and customers that are required to use inaccessible platforms (e.g. only permitting refunds through a website and not in person/by mail, but the website isn't accessible).

Yes and I find it similarly extreme that a company would disable someone's doorbell because one person claimed something racist was said through it (?!?!). Are they going to set up a little Amazon Ring court to adjudicate every claim??

If Amazon hadn't taken that extreme step in the first place, the stakes wouldn't be so high, and there would be less reason to discipline the employee (for the record I don't think they should be fired in any case).
> most of them genuinely believe that there are tech company employees out there going through their private lives.

Are you implying this is an incorrect belief? There are reports of employees stalking their former partners at data collection companies.

Maybe. At the point in the process where you're seeing someone's project, you've already spent time probably phone screening them, sending them the project, hopefully reviewing it. It takes relatively little time to write a quick sentence or two in review of the assessment. It would be nice even if they didn't look at the project and just said "sorry, we didn't have time to look at your project because we're moving forward with other candidates".
I wish more research would dig into the ancient Persian tablets as well. There’s just so much mystery around Persia, and unfortunately, in many contexts (movies, books, websites, or discussions in general), people act as if Persia never existed. This is despite the fact that Persians had such an undeniable impact on human history. Cyrus the great, for example, was the one who liberated Jews in Babylon and wrote the first human right cylinder.

At best, Persians are portrayed as bar bars or black mercenaries (absolutely nothing wrong with being black. But Persians were definitely not black).
