No one is confusing the two because “saving the planet” is always meant as in “saving the planet as a hospitable environment for humans and/or animals” (a bit of a mouthful, no?). Literally no one cares about the rock called the Earth for its own sake.

You might as well go and argue that some particular person from Africa can't be called “black” because his skin pigmentation is brown. That's equally productive.
US healthcare system works for people with money, and people with money make up most of the voting base.

I'm having doubts about what you mean about "TEE", I suppose it's term for "trusted execution environment". I'm not sure about I might answer, and it's probable the right question to ask to Apple engineering. I think Apple can use the same technology they used for Apple Pay via the Secure Chip. I'm talking mainly about exchanging keys via servers, decryption and then serve the content via a sort of "frontend". I wish to know more about TEE to give you a more detailed answer.

EDIT: thinking about secure enclave.. maybe (still an hypothesis) the chip does not have the bandwidth to perform decryption just in time. Probably it's a huge cost for Apple to apply something like that.
> most ludicrous wall street craziness I've ever heard

I have heard many more ludicrous things. Japan is already heavily indebted and as relative per capita productivity will decrease significantly while while taxes increase there won’t be necessarily that many incentives for young people to stay in the country further exacerbating the problem.

> their pyramid scheme isn't the only way to do things.

Any suggestions?

> better position than those continuing to push unsustainable growth to defer the inevitable.

Or far worse.

> without ever increasing population

Who said anything about ever increasing population? Why are you even saying that?

The problem is a severe decrease in population accompanied by a similarly severe increase in average age.
How about we stop trying to come up with any reason but the objective one for the cause of the problem?

Why the quotation marks?

The good news is that technological innovation is reeling back emissions and land encroachment, the bad is that growth in developing countries is outpacing innovation such that the demand for fossil fuels is still in an upward trajectory. Quality of life is improving, at a cost. East Asia won't grow this fast forever, but we're in a position of requiring some imminent intervention. I expect to see more policy moves in the near future as nuclear and viable carbon-capture won't come quickly enough, and rich people don't want shit weather and paying out billions in damages every year either.

Slowing down won't happen because we can't ask other countries not to improve their quality of life, and even if we did, they wouldn't listen. That's where the extra demand is coming from. Domestically you could put a small dent by disincentivizing purchases of SUVs or whatever.
As the fine article explains, that is what RFC 7606 specifies.

Or they'd need to have designated closed off areas to park them, and maybe attendants. Maybe they could get away with something like bike locks using public bike parking spaces. In any case, how to avoid fines for abandoning property all over the city should be their problem.
This is not surprising. Facebook users aren't known for their mental agility. Those who were getting their news from there are not about to seek out reputable sources.
Copenhagen is probably one of the most expensive city in Europe and hardly representative of the continent as a whole. Even then, a quick Google search estimates that cost of live in Copenhagen is 15-25% lower than Seattle/LA, without even accounting for the absurd american healthcare costs.

afaik Its not normal in the statistics sense of the word, most people are falling in a tightly centered distribution. But I'm not going to debate here that it's a moral choice, or that you're somehow wrong by being one or more SDs out of center. (It might be, but this isnt the forum for it). Anyone who does not want to have children of their own are well within their rights. I'd encourage anyone who doesnt have kids to still find someway to contribute their time/interactions to the next generations though, I've found it really changes the mindset of people to invest in someone else with no expectation of return.

It's a fairly small project and doesn't have too many costs, relatively speaking.

Previously the main income was from selling CD sets (they intentionally limited the web download options), but they stopped doing that about 15 years ago orso.

Honestly, most of the people I know who have serious problems with obesity have some kind of metabolic disorder. Diabetic or pre-diabetic.

And I think this has become far more common than people will admit. We're burning out our pancreases through processed & high sugar, low-GI foods because the industrial food supply is poorly managed and under-regulated.

That plus cars.
If you use an induction hob, a classic stovetop kettle (the kind that whistles!) will allow you to boil water quickly. The large ring on my last hob was 3kw.
Yea, let's not forget the dark times of the late 1990s / early 2000s. It was next to impossible to motivate developers to release software for more than Windows. Windows application software developers were thoroughly steeped in the platform. WinMain(), HINSTANCE, LPTSTR, CopyMemory(). Even for parts of code that did not require interacting with Win32, they'd reach for DWORD instead of unsigned int. The effort of porting these monstrosities to something non-Windows was enormous. As a junior engineer, I'd butt heads with my senior leads, arguing to keep the business logic in portable C and keep the "windows stuff" minimal and in its own cordoned-off directory. All the senior guys thought this was ridiculous--we would never have to port this to anything but Windows. Their idea of "portable" software was: It works on Windows 95 and Windows NT.
The metal technology is outdated for this kind of structure

This should be rebuilt with far lighter weight carbon fiber composite structures for the suspended equipment and far higher-strength and lighter weight carbon fiber rope/cable.

Both technologies are very well developed and proven. Structural carbon fiber is used in everything from aircraft [2] to buildings to bridges [1], and it is only carbon fiber ropes that allow elevators to work in new kilometer-tall buildings [0].

Merely reducing the weight alone reduces the stresses involved in supporting the required equipment, and even greater benefit and safety margin is gained with the higher strength of engineered composite materials.

Time to rebuild with the next generation of technology.

Who are these people excited about scrum? Most of the scrum masters I know dislike it and would rather build ad-hoc from the agile toolbox. Scrum is popular because it's an easy-to-implement general process that enough people know.

Scrum is the duplo block of agile. That said, it doesn't have to be that heavy. A retrospective every other week, A sprint review every other week, a sprint planning every other week, and 15 minutes a day for standup.

So that's a half day block every other week and 15 minutes a day otherwise. It doesn't even need to be a half day block - our sprint plannings usually end up being 15 minutes because we work on refining tickets through the week.

My teams have 3-4 hours of standing meetings a week. We try to group them as much as possible to avoid dumb blocks of time. The vast majority of that time is going through the work together.

The vast majority of our meetings are making sure we are building the right thing. Reviewing the specification for gaps happens with development. You could say that that could be done asynchronously, and it does. But I think so much of the issue here is that people add more.
....If you can afford it. Which, you having lived in multiple countries, sounds like you can.

If you cant afford it, you're fucked in hundreds of different ways, including basically signing for any care "i agree to pay whatever im told for the rest of my life" blank check.

And healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy. This sort of crap doesn't happen in a decent country.

I will ask you the same question about the information which you read on the internet.

Whatever your answer is, apply that to ChatGPT. It is no different.
And it's back.. that was a pretty quick turn-around, I'm impressed
If you prompt directly about the subject it can be fine but it veers into BS territory more often if you try to get it to synthesise information meaning it's less good with applied examples that are given to it by the user. Not always but the error potential is definitely higher.

The problem then I think is that this means that students will have to prompt "on rails" to get reliable answers. The most curious students who want to stretch their knowledge are likely to cause it to generate falsehoods which are presented confidently and convincingly.
Scrum was a (failed) attempt to get companies to think outside the box. For a variety of reasons, it doesn't really work and you can't fix bad management process with it.

You can't save a company with scrum.

What you might be able to do is study it as an open minded organization and pick out the best parts. And also make sure you have an appropriate engineering (non-functional requirements) process.
The problem is getting people to settle for less. We have an entire generation that expected to own single family homes, travel frequently, have new outfits every season, new car ever few years and live lavish lifestyles they see in the media.

How do we put the genie back in the bottle and get people to accept a smaller, maybe generational home? And maybe only travel out of the country a handful of times in their life? And buy a good pair of clothes and shoes and make it last for a decade? Maybe forgo owning a car all their life? How do you get entitled people to live more humbly putting less pressure for economic growth at all costs?
I'd like to see a new regulatory regime that allows individual health care providers like doctors, nurses, etc to start their own practices that are cash only. The sense I get is that small strappy businesses like that can't start because of the regulatory regime that's too expensive to comply with.

But yeah in the end all of this machinery that gets between the patient and the provider and affects that relationship negatively needs to be done away with.
If you can afford it the healthcare in the States can be quite good. And there's a massive number of Americans who can afford it. I can't say off the cuff what share of the population is that but Americans being ever on the verge of bankruptcy is mostly a cliche.
US Air Force wants $6B to build 2k AI-powered drones
This is exactly it. Everyone asks why the American people put up with this, as if our congress actually gives a damn about the average American. Congressional votes are bought and paid for by corporations which benefit from the current, broken system.
I believe most of the sources do tax their products heavily. I'm Norwegian and we tax them at about 80%. Surely the Saudi princes' private airplanes were paid for with tax revenues, too.

Maybe you mean that the consumers' countries should tax the fossil fuel sold to consumers. You're a voter in one of those, I bet, and probably one that taxes fossil fuel at a rate well below 80%.
The DOJ statement has more detail on the fraud:

>Under government contracting rules, there must be a nexus between the costs charged to a government contract and the objective of the contract. Thus, a contractor may charge to a government contract costs directly related to that contract, as well as indirect costs that benefit multiple contracts including the government contract. A contractor may not charge costs to a government contract, however, that have no relationship to that contract. This prohibition prevents government contractors from using taxpayer funds to subsidize non-government related work.
That's building regulations, sadly. Sockets need to be multiple meters from splash zones, but there's an exception for shaver sockets, which have their own transformer, limited amps, and have a plug that looks very similar to the non-grounded EU plugs.

I just use it to kick start my learning process. It's basically the quick summary of Topic. And I ask GPT to cite sources. Then you can jump into to more authoritative articles/etc. Can't trust it blindly.
In my 20 some years of using .NET and C#, I don't think I've ever run into a case where I felt "this is some Microsoft bullshit".

It's continuously gotten better, but I feel that many folks still have an image of C# and .NET from back in 2003 rather than 2023.
Thanks.

> Imagine if all drinks came in glass bottles

I can totally imagine. Glass bottles with deposit. Return them when empty, reclaim deposit. Most plastic bottles are also, I don't know, for crap products (?). Sodas, energy drinks. We could just drink more water.

> plastics are an outright miracle material though

Absolutely. There's certainly "good" applications of plastic. I don't dispute that.
I believe the lowest power aircraft engine currently in production is the Swedish Radne Raket 120 at the manufacturer's claimed output of 14 hp. However, Wikipedia suggests that the only fixed-wing aircraft using this powerplant requires two of of them, therefore adding up to 28 hp.
Have you stopped using fossil fuels and consuming products that required fossil fuels for their production and transportation? I'm guessing not since you haven't starved to death and have access to the Internet.

It's not possible to stop this juggernaut through individuals choosing to opt out of fossil fuels.
True, but imagine a decade or so down the line where well-off families could purchase a general purpose robot butler for $20k (Elon Musk's target price for the Tesla Bot) or $30k (about the price of a Honda Civic) - why wouldn't you? Some chores it could do for you:

* Taking the kids to school

* Preparing a meal plan for the coming week and getting the groceries from the store

* Making dinner

* Setting the table

* Clearing the table + doing the dishes

* General tidying up after humans throughout the day

* Dealing with washing and drying my laundry

* Folding and putting away my laundry

* Collecting my wedding suit from the dry cleaners

I'll take your word for it, you're welcome to it, but I'd rather it just didn't show up so high in search results.

Oh, and if it could stop recommending pro-anorexic content to my teenager, I'd like that to. It's banned on the LAN but I can't enforce that elsewhere.

It's a dumpster fire of SEO dark patterns and unmoderated shitty content and shouldn't be ranked so high in searches. Google should have routed around them years ago.
This is the same nonsense as the “population bomb” doomerism of the 60s.

The right decision is specified in RFC 7606, which is usually to treat the malformed announcement as a withdrawal. (BGP attributes cannot in general be discarded safely.)
Thanks for the feedback again. I did really appreciate it. Oh the website you mentioned seems interesting, especially for a person that does not speak English daily. I'll keep in mind, and of course I bookmarked it.
Often the problem is bait and switch. For example, I went into the Witcher series expecting a show focused on Geralt, like in the games and books. Over the seasons it progressively devoted more screen time to Yennefer and Ciri, effectively making Geralt a side character in his own story. Now season 3 is sitting at a 19% audience score according to Rotten Tomatoes, viewership has cratered, the actor for Geralt (Henry Cavill) has left, and people are betting that it will be cancelled.
Next you'll tell me I shouldn't use a calculator, or a computer at all.

The conceptual level at which I work benefits massively from the recent developments in LLMs, and to stop training myself for the new meta means to drastically fall behind and possibly miss my goals. There is absolutely no reason not to evolve alongside this new technology.
Honestly when I accepted that clever code is bad code, my passion for coding died and now I just want to coast until I get fired and then go work at a phone repair shop

I think when I picked my major, I never understood what software engineering is, or even what engineering is. Honestly I shouldn't be complaining. So many people have it worse.

Coding would still be fun if it weren't a job, where we bend tech backwards to please the users (instead of teaching users to do the right thing)
If you know git or any other version control then using CVS really isn't that hard; many commands are similar.

And everything is exclusionary to someone. Pure git email workflow? Exclusionary to people who find it hard/difficult, or use email in a different way (e.g. only gmail web UI). GitHub Pull Request workflow? Exclusionary to people who don't want to run non-free JS, or don't want to use "Micro$oft GitHub", or don't like using web interfaces.
Where is your tolerance level? There's plenty of robot vacuums that don't have cameras on them (the majority actually) and they use mapping via LIDAR. They may lose features such as object avoidance however.

If you're concerned with house mapping data then there's always the dumber bump-and-run models that don't map anything.

Some of the older Roomba models use a remote control to set schedules and timers and can be use completely without an app.
It's right there.

To be honest for the many years I lacked a proper stovetop kettle it felt wrong to not have the whistle. Though I also missed the auto-shutoff.
As an American, I find the boiling speed of 1L in an electric kettle to be remarkably fast compared to drip coffee or boiling on the stove. Granted, that says more about my expectations than the actual speed.

Generally I use an insulated 4L kettle that stays warm all day, so it heats up very quickly when needed and somewhat negates the issue.
No, it's that congress generally only cares about those that donate to their campaign, and that just so happens to be the corporations that benefit from the current broken system.
It’s not donations. It’s the fact that the largest employer in nearly every congressional district is a healthcare system. Heard this from a guy who worked on the ACA.
Absolutely wrong, stop trying to rewrite history. Look at what happened in Melbourne, Australia. 1 hour of state mandated "outside" time per day, restrictions on gatherings, 5KM restrictions, 9PM curfews, park and gym closures, restrictions on shopping, public transport shutdown to stop protests, get the jab or lose your job. All that to "help" us, and we're living with the consequences to this day. Groceries 50%+ in the last 3 years. House prices are off the charts. Inflation that the government will blame on Russia, COVID supply shocks, aliens, but never their actions. The policies you backed well and truly fucked us. Own up to it.
Or a dog :)
The power companies know this, and time their cutovers from Europe with the end of Eastendets, which is when people turn on their kettle for a cup of tea before making dinner.
(I’m not sure if that’s still a good hint, but it certainly was ten or so years ago.)
>Accelerate education at unprecedented levels (if we can figure out how to integrate LLMs into the education system).

More likely we'll replace poor people's teachers with ChatGPT and whoever has more cash affords actual teachers. This is so real that we're experiencing this >today<, in a different scale with private schools and distance learning in countries such as Brasil where there are projects to reduce schools and/or move some of them to use distance learning.

Show HN: Video2SRT
Hello HN!

I’m a bachelors student pursuing Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Signal processing and during the year I had the goal to build my first AI Tool and launch it. I got inspired by how capable Whisper is, and combined the Whisper CPP Bindings along with FFMPEG.Wasm to create a tool that is capable of transcribing and captioning video files that contain one or more video tracks. Along with that, I’ve also added the support for transcribing audio files with the option to export those outputs as .SRT, .WebVTT or simply a text file. All done privately on a user’s web browser with WebAssembly. The only internet connection that is required is to download a particular model.

You can check out my project here: https://video2srt.ccextractor.org and I’d love to hear your ideas, feature requests, and feedback ^_^

to be fair ... so dot not-short URLs
Going from memory but this is an artifact of WW2. There was a copper shortage so they decided to save on wiring costs by running only a few high current circuits through the whole house. The appliance plugs are instead fused as any fault in the appliance would happen after the plug. This is why UK plugs are all fused - they are the final branch circuit over current protection device. I actually like the idea.
