But isn't client-side adaptive bitrate switching the point of HLS and DASH? Given that server side software (encoders, live and VOD origins) and clients (shaka, hls.js, dash reference client, set top boxes, smart TVs) exist ... doesn't it make more sense to set up http/3 and have it all in a well established standard?
The presumption that information warps minds consistently leads to free speech restrictions. My perspective you need to proove harm, then proving Tiktok caused the harm, and showing banning is the only remedy.

I'm not sure even sure Tiktok causes harm, let alone more harm than other social media.

> Such constraints were tackled by old innovations like assembling space stations using modules launched separately, or more recently, with inflatable modules like BEAM (sadly not in development anymore).

Another good example is JWST, which required an elaborate (and therefore risky) "unfolding" process. The costs of such approaches seem somewhat self-reinforcing: a failure would be very costly, so it's worth spending more on validation and testing; that extra expense would make a failure even more costly, justifying even more spending on testing! (In that sense it's similar to the tyranny of the rocket equation: having to carry more propellant in order to propel that extra propellant!)
It's okay-ish for projects that involve planned, pre-rendered scenes of pre-determined length.

For anything involving live-action clips (using it for "talking head + b roll".. tutorials, documentaries etc) mainly could use the features I noted above.

More workflow polish the better, though. Makes it good for a wider variety of video types.
Qualcomm and Iridium were always a strange partnership to me, with Iridium constituting the top shelf option in mobile satellite services (100% global availability, priced accordingly), but Qualcomm not exactly popular for their premium mobile SoC offerings, which would likely be non-competitive if it weren’t for their grasp on the mobile baseband market.

It makes much more sense for Iridium approaching smartphone vendors directly – this is more of a premium offering, and many premium Android phones no longer use Qualcomm SoCs.

And for the low to mid range SOS market, Starlink will likely be a strong competitor (if they actually manage to pull it off).

What's I really love about it now is how deeply and sincerely it's integrated with Python. That didn't used to be the case originally, but I believe it happened kind of early on, so it's had a lot of time to mature, and there's all that RNA/DNA stuff to automate Python bindings. I'm working on learning more about that stuff myself! Do you know any more of the history, trials, and tribulations of that?

That smells like almost a flaggable threat. Very "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" kinda vibes.

Also, haven't we figured out that we need to stop making societal problems a question of individual average-person morals? We're never going to recycle our way out of global warming, and we can't rely on all the software engineers in the world to down tools to prevent these kinds of business models. We need to start passing laws against this kind of shit (and, yes, we need hold the individuals that we elect to power to higher moral standards).

I know it's not just screen readers, but what a11y concerns would make sense for blender? It barely uses audio and what it does probably can be covered by external tooling. For visuals... the only things that occur are probably covered by Blender's UI scaling/zoom. But I could easily be forgetting something or ignorant.

Edit: Oops, somehow forgot input - but there again, I would natively expect most things to work via keyboard/mouse emulation, and beyond that you'd probably need custom integration, but it's got the Python hooks to facilitate that.

TFA doesn’t say “best television shot” though, it says “best timed television shot”.

Well, yes. That’s why everybody is talking about it as the best timed television shot and why people are puzzled at this golf shot being brought up where timing is not particularly relevant.

What you're suggesting sounds like bread lines.

That's not really a step up from the current system that lifted millions out of poverty and hunger.

The US has enough grain to pass it out to everyone, no magic technological leap needed, we already ship our massive amounts of excess grain across the world to developing countries.

Noone in a developed country wants to eat just grain though!

Also who gets to hand out the grain? That never really goes well when authoritarians control who gets to eat and how much and what. (some animals are more equal than others)

And who gets / has to do the automating / maintaining? Are they compensated extra or is it forced?

> It would be reasonable to assume for ubi to work, we would need a reasonable amount of land to be farmed.

We have plenty of farmland. The thing you need most for "free food" is more ranchland in the US.

Otherwise you will have to develop the natural grassland as farmland, killing every creature under the topsoil and using A LOT of water.

As you can tell I have a few issues with this communistic approach, but I would like honest answers to these proses as they come up in history as "problems of implementation" to be generous. (killing millions via famine and force)

Edit: downvote all you want, but questioning a proposed new system to govern humans should be scrutinized given the past failed experiments with millions of people's lives.
Reading the responses on this page reminds of the quote

> most managers give their team the benefit of the doubt that they are working at a reasonable but sustainable pace

Close examination shows that this is just a covert way of saying: a manager, tasked with figuring out whether other people are doing their jobs, decides that the best course of action is to not do his.*

> Curious how you would measure whether they are "performing the tasks for their jobs"

What is this, a public referendum? Another way to offload the costs of working out how to make a given business successful onto others? It depends on the business. And it's work that needs to be undertaken (and the associated costs borne) by the business itself.

Generally they are rewarded with seniority and better pay. Or better offers as management move to other companies and want to bring high performers with them.
Burke even mentions that in the Ars interview:

> Television is entirely different. I remember walking around the world with a film crew, sometimes 15 people, and pointing at a bush and saying, "What am I doing here?" That's very time-consuming and expensive, and we no longer need that kind of thing. This time, there's no money. [...] Nobody went anywhere, so we didn't get up and catch planes all the time. And nothing got in the way of the story except me. All I did was stand and talk. Because of the structure, the nature of the production style, the story can move more densely and more quickly than ever before.

I don't know if I agree with him that it's a good thing. One of the things I loved about the original Connections was the experiential aspect of it. James Burke in front of a green screen is just James Burke in front of a green screen.
Do you think wasm has any chance of replacing the whole html/css stuff with just webgpu in a canvas?

Photoshop seems to be runable in the browser now, and I've seen a lot of other cool stuff, but things like fluid simulations seem to still be very laggy.

Not sure about MonoGame. Way back when XNA was released it was a great step forward for indie development - a framework using an easy-to-use language that allowed publishing even for the Xbox 360 - that was a great step forward. It included solutions for every problem that tended to come up in gamedev - from audio to graphics, font rendering etc.

But it had a fair bit of downsides too - it had to have all content compiled into a proprietary format using a Visual Studio plug. The font rendering was blurry and had poor support for internationalization. And the ergonomics of its APIs left something to be desired.

MonoGame has essentially replicated XNA 4 wart for wart including the content pipeline. Development has been really slow on new features.

Sure it's just an analogy. We clearly don't have 3 distinct separate levels, it's more like one memory where recalling memories strengthens them (but can also change them). But whatever we have, it's clearly very different to an LLM.

We don't even want to replicate the human mind exactly. If we did that what'd be the point? AI is useful exactly because it's not the same as how people work.

I don't think RAG is a good analogy for how the brain works because RAG is about finding original concrete sources (like books), not about matching and recalling digested and abstracted thoughts inside the "mind" itself. The article does talk about this a bit at the beginning.
Ukraine wasn't a "tiny breakway state" - it had some of the heaviest USSR industry, crop production, education facilities / educated populace, and most combat capable military units due to being on the border of Europe.

It has since sold off a lot of this due to corruption. However, just a couple of nukes could have avoided this whole fiasco. There are modern, deprecated (read: late 80s) launch facilities, even one of which could have prevented the war (possibly).

You should consider that you're imagining enemies.

For example, I have never been to SF nor have I lived on the West coast. I have no feelings about it and I have no interest in defending it as some kind of stand-in for my politics. Some people downplay the crime as an unsubstantive retort to another commenter, and some relative-statistics-based defenses are dishonest, misleading, or at least not holistic. I find this attitude infuriating, and in the worst cases I believe that it's essentially antithetical to civilization and progress. Safety and community are values that should be passionately embraced and viciously defended. It's hard to overstate how strongly I feel about it.

And yet I flag politically petty, antagonistic, or unnecessarily provocative posts like yours, the parent, and the GP. There is just as much social-politics-motivated irrationality on the anti-SF side. I believe the US, on the whole, has a sickness that manifests in being too hateful of criminals. I think fairness is essential in treating criminals, and that we should devote far more than we do to addressing the root causes of crime, rather than just focusing 100% on being "tough on crime". However, I also believe these ideas should never be carried to the extent of minimizing the victims or downplaying the fact that to rob somebody is to terrorize them and erode a community.

You can be balanced, curious, self-bettering, and passionate at the same time. You should consider that people are not one-dimensional, and might say something in one post that puts them into a bucket in your head that they don't belong in. You and those who agree with you do not have a monopoly on the qualities you are lauding HN for.
> ChatGPT is not going to tell you how to design a system, architect properly, automate, package, test, deploy, etc.

If you ask the right questions it absolutely can.

I’ve found that most people thinking ChatGPT is a rube are expecting too much extrapolation from vague prompts. “Make me a RESTful service that provides music data.” ChatGPT will give you something that does that. And then you’ll proceed to come to hacker news and talk about all the dumb things it did.

But, if you have a conversation with it. Tell it more of the things you’re considering. Some of the trades off you’re making—how the schema might grow over time, it’s kind of remarkable.

You need to treat it like a real whiteboarding session.

I also find it incredibly useful for getting my code into more mainstream shape. I have my own quirks that I’ve developed over time learning a million different things in a dozen different programming languages. It’s nice to be able to hand your code to ChatGPT and simply ask “is this idiomatic for this language?”

I think the people most disappointed with ChatGPT are trying to treat it like a Unix CLI instead of another developer to whiteboard with.

This is an interesting thought. And at that point, if we have sufficiently advanced technology we can simply do away with money and dispense necessities as necessary. A bit like communism, if it hadn't been plagued by resource shortages (ignoring the human causes).

>Especially in video games, everyone loves quoting Sega v Accolade or Sony v Bleem as proof emulation is perfectly legal.

There's no need to prove emulation is legal. There's a need to prove it's illegal. There's a long history of making compatible things. Everything from toner cartridges to PC compatibles to auto parts. And especially in the context of copyright law, explain the possibility of a copyright violation in a piece of software written to emulate a hardware platform when there is no ROM or firmware distributed by the authors? Now how most people choose to run emulators is copyright violation from horizon to horizon, but I don't see how that has anything to do with people making emualtion products.

That's just what I was getting at when comparing Blender to GIMP in this other discussion:

>All of these ideas could be applied to Gimp too, of course, but I've found the Blender developers to be much more open to entertaining other people's ideas and contributions about user interface design than the Gimp developers, who have been historically NIH-limited and stubborn (especially about changing the name to something less offensive to the general public). At least Blender already supports pie menus well, and changed the default mouse bindings in response to user demand, and has made huge strides in usability lately. At this point I think it would be much easier to just add a great image editor to Blender, integrated with its video editor, than try to change the minds of the Gimp developers.
