> There is nothing wrong with using a TS stream for HLS that makes it inferior.

Not wrong, but a bit surprising. As you mention, transport streams are designed to operate over unreliable connections (like satellite or terrestrial transmission). Reliability is not an issue with with HTTP or TCP.

Other than being archaic, some disadvantages are that TS has somewhat more overhead than (f)MP4 and poor ergonomics for random access / on the fly repackaging caused by continuity counter, padding, PAT/PMT resubmission timing, PCR clock.

If it were up to me to design a streaming protocol like DASH, HLS, Flash, or SmoothStreaming I'd instantly choose mp4 (or plain elementary streams). I wouldn't even consider TS or PS unless some spec forced me to.

Why not both? If someone is buying a firearm off the black market, the buyer is in the wrong but so is whoever is selling it to them without doing a proper background check.
I'd argue it's the most important goal of all consumer software. It needs to be respectful of the player. To do that you need to really, actually care about where they are in their lives and what you can do to meet them. We had an expression internally: "surprise and delight". On a more personal level I've always loved Gunpei Yokoi's "lateral thinking, with withered technology".
The problems you want solved are not being solved adequately because people paying for it cut corners. I empathize with your frustration but this looks like a weird take to me.

A lot of simple and correct things were built by passionate people, and play is a necessary prerequisite to nurture passion.

As to the amount of play to be encouraged in a work setting, I don't have a strong opinion yet.
What a grumpy cynical take. We are also overflowing with useless, heartless, meaningless, superficial book content everywhere, doesn't mean Gutenberg should have dropped his printing press idea. Cream rises to the top, even if that means we have more chaff at the bottom.
Obvious answer to this is that if you create overly simple model of human body so that you can apply the easiest law available without thinking, then you are not trying to deduce off laws of physics.

It is scientism and not a science.
You'd have to include the servers doing the auctions, sentiment analysis, profiling,... into it as well. And then the whole ad industry, every email, every meeting, ...

I don't think you can actually put a number on this waste.
Microsoft will bend over backwards to maintain compatibility but at a huge cost to themselves. Can you imagine trying to fix a bug or vulnerability in some thirty year old Windows code without breaking anything. It must be like wading through treacle.
Sometimes companies are incentivised to grow, sometimes to cut costs - investors reward different things at different times. Knowing areas that could be trimmed and not trimming can be entirely rational then.
You project, you need relationships with normies, not me. I can't have relationships with normies, and it's good, I don't miss them.

None of that has much to do with modern economics. Just like criticising alchemy doesn’t make you a contributor to chemistry.

Buy MWG’s Microeconomic Theory and study it. What does it have to do with Adam Smith’s theories on barter or someone’s (whose?) theory on primordial debt?
It's somewhat endearing that a trillion dollar company goes through something similar as I did - fiddling around with rEFInd, my BIOS splash image, plymouth-git & plymout-sddm, "quiet splash" and god knows what else to get a "smooth" boot experience - not only adding several seconds to the boot process but also having to rescue the system multiple times with a boot stick.

I've come to embrace the flicker and the systemd messages. It's just a boot, it's in the order of seconds in this day and age, I can't even tell you what the initial reason for my obsession was.
For investors winding down and returning money fast might be preferable to a company without profits.
Do you fire engineers who consistently finish projects ahead of their estimates?

Is any degree of sandbagging is a firing offense? If not, wheres the threshold?

Is your organization completely and unconditionally free of mandates like each department must "Cut budget x%" or "improve output by y%" -- irrespective of the incremental cuts and improvements that a group may have had in recent memory? If not, isn't a group that diligently finds and implements efficiencies at a disadvantage compared to ones that just don't look until a mandate comes in?

Kudos if you really do have an organization where there is no structural incentive to sandbag or otherwise bank results.

I the term bot is interesting, I think it cbelievean be expanded to any automata predictably responding in a certain fashion. Twitter "reply" accounts even if operated by humans but acting like bots should be considered bots. Posts that don't move the discussion along but just reaffirm in one direction or the other are just pure noise and useless. Discourse is broken or the human brain is, unsure which it is.
Regulatory capture covers more than just regulations. It also covers the lack of regulation; including anti-trust.

The cost saving comes from the fact that Snowflake virtual warehouses by default time out after 10 minutes and this can be lowered, realistically to 60 seconds.

They must have been using very overprovisioned servers to run up $1 million per year in Snowflake spend for occasional 10 minute bursts of activity prior to the change.

I think this points more to poor and ungoverned use of Snowflake and Cloud than it does organisational dysfunction.
It'll go to niche services. Dropout, Nebula, Curiositystream, possibly even Patreon.
> And not just the bad ones, like Google Analytics. Even Fathom and Plausible analytics struggle with logging activity on adblocked browsers.

I believe that's as they're trying to live in what amounts to a toxic wasteland. Users like us are done with the whole concept and as such I assume if CSS analytics becomes popular, then attempts will be made to bypass that too.

The judiciary system takes lies into account. Doing that while testifying under oath might end poorly. See SBF's trial for reference.
It's not how many calories you put in your mouth and swallow though. It's how many calories get taken in through your digestion system. Gut microbiome likely has an effect on that as well as a few other things.
"Nonetheless, the debate around liability still needs to be addressed. From my perspective, the idea of holding AI accountable should honestly just be thrown away. Not just because these are not moral or sentient beings with the capacity for intent or reasoning, but also because it removes the responsibility from humans, and this is where the responsibility lies completely."

Agreed (at least for most deployment scenarios).
I'm guessing you're not a fan of Google Wear watches or Microsoft Surface ARM at all or you'd be more aware of how Qualcomm treats their gift horses worse than I've seen any company. We are talking 10 year old mediocre designs being shown off as their flagship parts in some cases here and I'd expect if they did turn over the Pi to Qualcomm you'd get the best 2015 $100 phones had to offer as the SoC
Nice implementation! Just a heads-up, hashing the ip like that is still considered tracking under GDPR and requires a privacy banner in the EU.

The argument would work better if the Abrahamic god wasn't so clearly immoral, like in the example of Sodom and Gomorrah, killing of Uzzah, the Flood. The god appears to be a narcissist (the faith in him is the most important quality in a person), putting reverence and obedience above all (commanding Abraham to murder his son for no good reason). God as described in bible is a morally despicable person and surely no example to follow.
Sure, and for a period corporate raiders took advantage of companies like that-- but standard defenses against raiding have become well known and widely deployed. Like life learning how to make cellulose suddenly the landscapes were littered with the husks of things that nothing knew how to digest.

But the value to society at large isn't just a profit (much less an ever growing profit). It's good that we have businesses which simply satisfy the involved parties (their customers, their employees, and their owners)-- even if they don't perform well on any external metric of efficiency.
At that point I would auto download any videos from my subscriptions so they are controllable locally. Then an AI or integration with an Sponsorblock could skip the adverts.

Host this all in a system similar to plex and it would be quite transparent.
The same really applies to all external resources, including anything hosted on CDNs.
I can regulate my weight by doing sports regularly or not with zero conscious attempts to change what I eat. And yes, non sports like taking daily walks have measurable effects too on me.

People who stop doing sports suddenly gain weight. People who get into sports habit like running or swimming slowly loose weight.

So, imo, this uber simplified model of just don't work like that.
Earlier this year, this podcast had some episodes on Michel de Montaigne who I found to be quite interesting.
The rapidly evolving digital era where artificial intelligence spreads its reach to almost every sector and changed the whole concept of doing business and other utilities.

The recent collaboration between Microsoft and Builder. ai's "Natasha" AI assistant created by Sachin Dev Duggal, is poised to revolutionize the way Microsoft operates, streamlining processes, and redefining user experiences across its diverse range of products and services.

> FWIW, the Python developers have wanted to drop the cgi module for over 20 years. It has no maintainer.

You could stitch together multiple. Mike Duncan's History of Rome is as thorough.
What does it mean to say "it has no maintainer" about code in the Python standard library? In most other projects the standard library is jointly maintained by the core team. In version history the cgi module seemed to receive small fixes couple of times a year from different people.
As a technical generalist I certainly find myself pretty empowered by these LLMs. It's never been easier to dive into a new problem, figure out the boundaries and solution paths and get cracking.
On the topic of analytics, how do you store them?

Let's say I have an e-commerce website, with products I want to sell.
In addition to analytics, I decide to log a select few actions myself such as visits to product detail page while logged in.
So I want to store things like user id, product id, timestamp, etc.

How do I actually store this?
My naive approach is to stick it in a table.
The DBA yelled at me and asked how long I need data.
I said at least a month.
They said ok and I think they moved all older data to a different table (set up a job for it?)

How do real people store these logs?
How long do you keep them?
> I really wanted to touch it. I bet it would’ve been weird to feel it as you looked at it.

You can get that weird feel by walking around an indoor space with only one eye open. When I do that, it feels as though all the (varied) colors I see are flat paint strokes lying on some flat surface at some undefined distance from me (as if my perception was stripped of all distance content). I become comically bad at simple tasks like reaching for the door handle or the light switch. When I use my hands to touch the wall it feels like I'm touching something that I'm not seeing (even though I'm looking right at it!)
A lot of big companies don’t. Additionally, a single success often implies multiple times smaller successes that are just not visible outside a corporation.
Sometimes being big is a structural advantage. Also there's a variant of the Peter Principle at work: any effective company grows until it is ineffective, therefore productive work is done only by companies that haven't finished growing yet.

At its core a company is a machine that makes money.

Once the machine is up and running, you just have to avoid not breaking it. An org at this stage can be completely dysfunctional as long as the machine keeps running. Also figuring out the "wins" while scaling are much more obvious than while trying to start.

> Can someone explain again how an ML system scanning and training on a copyrighted work is different from a highly skilled artist doing the same?

Its legally different because the human brain is not considered a fixed medium under copyright law, so a human experiencing and learning something is not making what is potentially a copy or derivative work under copyright law, and therefore not exercising, potentially without permission, one of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder.

> There are artists that can study a painting for a few minutes and then recreate it from memory

Right, and those artists violate copyright at the moment they recreate it in a fixed medium without permission, but encoding it into computer storage media is already a copy, so a machine (or, rather, the person using the machine) hits that threshold before creating an actual visual output.

> That is, we focus on the output of the process to determine infringement

No, we focus on what is set in a fixed medium. If that is done at an intermediate step of the process, rather than being an output, it can still be infringement.

Its just that a human doesn’t always need to make a copy in what is legally a fixed medium until the output, but that is not the same as categorically only treating outout of a process as legally relevant.
Air pollution raises risk of type 2 diabetes, says landmark Indian study
This is such an uninformed response. Inter-sex people (different from those who identify as trans whose body isn't ambiguous) have existed throughout history. Religions have had various stances on categorising them. It's a non-issue.

Most of these are millenia+ old traditions. Of course the people belonging to those traditions have accounted for the things they have experienced in that time. How could they not?
Investors certainly look at winddown scenarios for companies not performing. Sometimes broader considerations win out, sometimes a change in management is all that is needed, sometimes more aggressive things happen.
Probably quite pretty if you could take a photo every million years or so (for a comparison, the Sun makes one orbit around the center of the Milky Way roughly every 226 million years).
> Large organizations are toxic and often sociopathic. So are small orgs.

It's important to remember this.

To give an example, most large (multi-billion dollars) companies I worked for where amazing with happy people, whereas the small startups where filled with people backstabbing each other to make sure to be at the top of the food chain IF the company were ever to make money one day.

The moral of the story is: anything can happen anywhere.
> It costs them nothing to directly name the "giant European telescope" and which US telescopes "await rescue".

Have you thought about how “giant European telescope” and “US rivals” are more descriptive than ELT and GMT/TMT? Especially to people who are not already well informed about the arcana of under-construction future telescopes.

> not because it refuses to tell me WTF it's talking about unless I get reeled in

Idk. You keep using that three letter abreviation of a swear. Is that also very emotionally charged in your usage? Because to me it seems you are very angry over what to me appears a mild editorial disagreement. They haven’t tried to kill your puppies, they are not trying to scam you out of your retirement savings, they just wrote a descriptive title to the best of their abilities.

If I am missreading the emotional content of your comment then I am sorry. If I am not then I’m sending you a bunch of good vibes. Either way, hope you will have a lovely day.

Didn't have an Atari Jaguar CD myself, but I did have a friend with one, and have fond memories playing with the Virtual Light Machine. Never knew anyone with a Nuon so never got to play with the VLM-2 though.

Was always comparatively disappointed with subsequent music visualisation like MilkDrop and Geiss on Winamp to be honest - they always seemed to be just doing their own thing without as much reference to the music, and of course without the interactivity you were just watching rather than playing (or consuming rather than creating).

Same here. It's got a lot of great games, has backwards compatibility with the Wii, and because of the hardware similarity, with some homebrew (nintendont) you can load gamecube games and play them natively (ie without emulation). And having a hdmi port makes it more convenient than pulling out my Wii for Wii or gamecube games.

That's three generations of Nintendo consoles in one.

My only complaint is the gamepad. The battery life is terrible, even when not on and the console won't boot without it.
