I really despise shorts. I wish i could block them in YouTubes own app.

About 10 years ago i put up some basic videos of some openGL stuff and games stuff I was working on for college. These were screen recordings. Not from a camera phone.

A few months ago I checked and YouTube had converted them all to shorts. No way to undo this. Now my decade old very basic projects get randomly shown to people that didn't search for it. And the Shorts format removes/hides all the text explaining the video context etc.

Youtube have no method to allow me to undo this. Any video of certain resolutions and lengths will be converted to a short. The only suggestion online from other users is to reupload the videos but add large side margins.

Although it consumes markdown, TinaCMS does seem to require a "Data Layer" for self-hosting. [1]

It can be hosted serverless but needs an instance of MongoDB[2]. This detracts a bit from other SSG that simply compile markdown into HTML, JS, and CSS.

One of the reasons for the shift from uuencoding to base64 is that the latter uses almost exclusively alphanumeric characters and consequently is more robust against cross-platform or ‘smart’ transformations or quoting or escaping issues.

Summary: Meetups, especially AI meetups, are back in SF.

Love to see it, but we're also seeing the same thing happen here in DC with the meetups I run, so it's not especially newsworthy?
Typically there's an inverse relationship with borrowing rate and asset price.

Right now, we have both - high prices and high rates.

In the ~2012-2018 era, we had low-medium rates and average prices

In the Covid 2020-early 2022 era we had super-low rates and high prices.

Because the asset prices have not adjusted to the new rates yet, now is a [temporary] worst time to buy, regardless of whether you are borrowing or not.

As a European pilot I'm always so surprised by the unprofessional incident handling of American ATC. Seriously, this crew is shaken up, someone in the cockpit interfered with the flight. Now they're making an unplanned approach and landing. Meaning lots of work, briefing, checklists, communicating with the company. They're busy. Why is ATC asking them three times what gate they're going to. Never heard that in Europe. Let ground figure it out, direct them to an available gate that works for law enforcement...

And even crazier to ask two times what the previous threat level has been, "for our report", what?? Write your report when we're on the ground. Figure it out yourself. Absolutely no need for those questions during flight.

Agreed. While manufacturers do show an impressive increase in the number of noisy qubits, we still have yet to see a demonstration of quantum error correction at anywhere near the levels needed to pull of a QC that breaks e.g. RSA.
I think ATX style machines are very niche. Gamers love them and 3D artsits, but outside of that I think no one wants them anymore. I think that ARM-compatibility for games in the near term is a hard sell (although Blender, Maya, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro have been ported to ARM for running on Apple chips.)

I think the market that NVIDIA should be chasing with the ARM CPUs + good GPUs is business machines. Our company is filled with very poor performing Window Surface devices - outside of those who insist on Macs this is what people get. Companies are spending a lot on these. And they desperately need better performance while also being cool with long battery life.
But if they don't take it down as soon as they are "notified" then they lose the safe harbor protections. I find the DMCA enraging but the law is pretty clear. You incur some liability by not taking down immediately, and no lawyer or business is going to incur liability when they don't have to.

Not only is this a lie you've been willingly sold, it appears you've bought it and taken it home.

This said I don't think you should feel too bad, we the consumer buy these same lies all over the place "If we have to follow these regulations then it's going to be a big problem for the industry".

At the end of the day some of the problems do not scale easily and cheaply. In these cases business have the choice of willingly being good societal actors and taking a loss of profit in order to prevent issues, or by means of regulation be forced to behave in a fitting manner.

I'd reject the notion that a hashtag you don't understand and feel inclined to question alongside a bunch of hashtags with an obviously positive meaning is equivalent to racist dogwhistling. Given the positive context of the hashtag it seems possible "better late than never" refers to the trucks carrying aid finally rolling, the freeing of hostages, or some other positive thing. It's not strongly associated with much of anything that's trending on twitter. A person with doubts about that commenter's intent would seek out greater context in the poster's other comments, I would think.

I found out about this company when I was job hunting last year. I almost thought it was some sort of joke or pilot for something more innovative than replacing a transparent refrigerator door with a screen. I do not like putting down peoples ideas, but it’s pretty safe to say that this is product is the Juicero of the 2020s.

It has a complexity that is equal to its lack of utility.
No, the article specifically talks about a device where the legs perform work continuously, as in cycling. The device you linked to only lets the legs work during ground contact.
> Surely someone must have noticed this

I thought the article we're discussing covered it well.

> "Transparency" seems like a poor choice of language when promoting a product that infamously compares poorly to the transparent door it replaces.
Why can't the JS ecosystem simply accept its non-complexity, deal with it and be done?

I know my share of frontend technology, React, Angular, AngularJS, MUI, Bootstrap and so on, Vue, Next, Nuxt, Svelte. Others.

None of it is really complex, there are competing, but increasingly incorporating patterns at play, just fighting for views, stars and clicks.

In the end, it boils down to the ever same boilerplate JS feeding a browser.

Please don't misunderstand me: JS can as complex as any "turing-complete"¹ language. But the things which seem to bother us have been solved over and over again, and there are no new solutions in sight, but only reformulations.

¹ there is no real turing-complete language out there, since memory is limited. Flamewar inc.

Part of YouTube premium dues go directly to the creators whose videos you watch. My understanding is that creators earn more from a premium subscriber view than from a free user with ads.

Patreon is much more helpful and we don't know how much of a membership goes to creators. Nebula seems great but doesn't allow for free access to education for all of it is a paid service so that seems like a worse way to gatekeep information than ads alone.
Ask HN: Bidirectional Text Navigation
This question is specifically for people who use right-to-left OSes and software (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, etc.)

When navigating (using cursor arrow keys) or editing "mixed" text (text that contains a mixture of right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) segments, what is your expectation (or wish) regarding the caret movement and appearance?

A bit of background. It looks like initially, many software packages employed what we might call a "visual" navigation, that is, repeating RIGHT arrow key would move the caret one symbol to the right, regardless of the directionality of the text. Some time after 2007, it seems, there was a switch to a "logical" navigation when the movement of the caret is governed by the position of the insertion index in the underlying (unicode) text. In this mode, repeatedly pressing RIGHT key results in the caret switching direction when it crosses the boundary between segments having a different orientation.

When it comes to the caret appearance, a number of options can be seen:

1. caret is unchanged

2. caret shows a little directionality indicator that looks like a little pennant or line

3. a dual or split caret

So the questions I have are:

1. Is there a consensus currently as to how the caret navigation should work in mixed text?

2. How should, in your opinion, the ideal navigation work?

3. How, in your opinion, should software indicate the insertion point for the next typed character?

4. Is there an example of software designed for your writing system, that get all of it right?

Your answers will affect the direction of a certain open source platform.

Thank you so much in advance!
I was actually surprised it was as high as 4%.
Another vote in favor of disc brakes. There's a greater sense of braking power modulation with disc brakes. If your rims aren't true, you're going to have a bad time with rim brakes. Also, I remember the huge difference in cold weather performance, which mattered a lot to me during the cold Midwest winters during college.

The same thing has happened with cars and performance. Stuff gets heavier, more expensive, and more complicated, and yet we manage to squeeze greater performance and efficiency out of less displacement. And then there's the eye watering power that comes from marrying this kind of tech to a big V8.
I always wanted to play it but my life was quite busy back then. Is there any chance we could have it released as purely a game?

How many people can actually pay $2000/month just from their index fund returns without drawing on the principal?

Even if you assume 4% real return (beating inflation), you'd need to have at least 600k worth of index funds, and you won't be growing it. Even for HN users, that's a lot of money.

This strategy will never work for more than 1-2% of the population.
Wouldn’t they need to keep updating this from time to time to stay current? That would likely kill any savings pretty quickly.
No, the difference is when/how you load the springs. This proposal seems to be that you load the spring with your leg in the air before it makes contact with the ground (achieved by attaching the top of the spring up the leg), then land the loaded spring and unload. Their argument is that this allows for higher overall energy output from the human body (akin to cycling). In a jumping stilt you're loading the spring when you put your foot on the ground and unloading immediately, so the energy output only really occurs during that period of foot contact, which presumably lowers overall output.

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned that 2 recording breaking marathon runs were by athletes wearing the Nike Vaporfly shoe.

The shoe was ultimately banned due to the giving too much "bounce" (free energy) to the runners.

echo -n is not safe, because some versions of echo will just print "-n" as part of their output (and add a newline at the end, as usual). In fact, XSI-compliant implementations are required to do this (and the same for anything else you try to pass as an option to echo). According to the POSIX standard[1], "If the first operand is -n, or if any of the operands contain a <backslash> character, the results are implementation-defined."

It's worth mentioning that ketogenic diets have also been used to treat dementia and alzheimers. With the proposed mechanism being a metabolic insufficiency in the brain caused by impaired glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier. Ketones are transported via a different mechanism, which appears to be unaffected.

There is a common trend of diets which simultaneously produce ketones, and starve bacteria/fungi being used to treat disease. It's difficult to know whether it's the microbial mechanism or the metabolic mechanism which is responsible for the effect.

No, LN was spun off from CC and after years of trying & failing to compete with TM, then acquired TM.

The point being: TM already had the market power before LN was on the scene, and all of LN's market power wasn't enough to get people to use their ticketing platform instead of TM. Saying LN is the reason everyone uses TM is very much getting it backwards.

You are wrong.

First, a ceasefire help Palestinian and Israeli civilians, so your first paragraph is wrong.

Your second paragraph is wrong too. Palestinian in the west bank are represented by the Fatah, which is a secular organization. Hence Hamas do not represent Palestinians. I'll add something else: Hamas only survived in Gaza thanks to the monthly 30M$ send by Qatar there: those dollars arrived by plane in Israel, where the Israeli army was waiting, then escorted (still by the army) toward Gaza, sent sent to an entry that was solely controlled by Hamas, ensuring their control upon food importation on one hand, and upon other political/paramilitary groups on the other.

This is linked to your third paragraph: UNRWA is seriously limited and cannot afford to give much more than schooling and food to children in Gaza. They would have done a much better job of securing peace than the Hamas with the monthly 30M given by Qataris. Who insisted that that money kept flowing into Hamas hands? [0]. I do not know why you attack UNRWA but the sister who called my grandparents to adopt my father worked with them, (the catholic hospital/school/orphanage she worked in before their expropriation was founded by this initiative) and I can't imagine her fueling any hatred: even when forcibly moved from the area she worked in for 40 years she said it was God's will and that she would do a much better work in her new place (at almost 80 yo)

Israelis civilians and Israel as a country has nothing to be blamed for, I agree with paragraph 4 and 5. But Netanyahu's government and his politic does. The 16 year blockade limited any influence work and humanitarian aid (its also why UNRWA critics specifically targeting the situation in Gaza to explain why it half-failed are at best fucking disingenuous, and i'm really nice). The decision to push the Hamas as a PLO alternative to limit Fatah increasing power in the Palestinian coalition was really short-sighted at first, but the continuous effort to keep that status quo by Netanyahu's government, including indirect funding of Hamas was criminal and probably the original sin of that pogrom (which do not absolve Hamas war criminals/terrorist of the majority of the blame).

Last paragraph: not sure why you conflate Gaza with Palestine. If it's on purpose, I agree that one solution would be to separate Gaza from Palestine (like Bengladesh from Pakistan) and going back to the original borders.

What really grind my gears is the western photo-open with Netanyahu. This is ridiculous. It would be like if all leaders went to General What's-his-name in Libya to take pictures with him after the dam failure that killed thousands of his citizens. It's pathetic, really.

That diet made me lose 15 kilograms over 2 weeks, 20 in total after first month. Pretty gruesome, because of the privation, the antifungal supplements and the slow die-off (migraines, sweats, general feverish-ness). Didn't feel hunger once I realized there was no portion-size limit and took the habit of getting full ('les dents du fond qui baignent') of whatever kind of food was left from the diet and still oncd the first month passes, felt so much better in every aspect (transit, clarity of thought, endurance, skin, bloodwork and ... fertility - labs results too).

I was pretty much skepticism incarnated and just what-the-hell-let's-prove-em-wrong-ed it. Whatever it was, either actually candida albicans infestation, or general bad eating habits, or whatever thing that this accidentally changed, or just the compound placebo of the diet discipline... the change was there.
