If you're using ESPhome, the BedJet addon replaces the hardware remote and app. It's kind of funny if only because the only processing inside the BedJet is..... an esp32, so you're throwing an ESP32 at another ESP32 ;)

I run my BedJet into HomeAssistant (and from there, into HomeKit) so it's so nice to ask Siri to warm up my bed now.

I found mine at a Value Village for a hundred bucks with everything but the mattress clip and remote, and BedJet support was able to just let me buy the mattress macguffin again for around $25ish.
It depends on how heavily targeted the terms are. The two big objectively user-hostile lines I was watching and have seen crossed:

Artists are making plenty. It is just that the supply of artists is much higher than the demand, because lots of people want to make money playing music, but there is only so many hours a day to listen to it.

And while I get plenty value from my Spotify subscription, I also spend much more on music than I otherwise would have.

Yes! This idea of a uniform hive mind always struck me as simplistic. I want gods that keep learning, keep experimenting, keep evolving, keep philosophizing.

All these forks and branches might eventually become different settlements, solar systems, multiverses... it's all information, and each world an experiment unto itself.

Morality can't be stuck in the pre-industrial era, and our current religions aren't really well suited for questions of matter and energy, consciousness as an emergent phenomenon, scaling thought past biological bottlenecks, etc.

I'm really excited about this future, even (or especially) if it means the end of human dominance. Life will find a way :D

This is the kind of anecdote that tries to make an example that proves the argument, but it's so wildly different from the average music consumer in the 1990s that it's completely irrelevant.

You bought 10 CDs at a 2nd hand store in your entirely life and now you pay more for Spotify. But most people were buying 10, or 20, or 30, or more CDs a year, .... and now they're paying _less_ for Spotify.

To give context on this video for anyone who doesn't understand. In this video PI* is referring to an idealized policy of actions that result in the maximum possible reward. (In Reinforcement Learning PI is just the actions you take in a situation). To use chess as an example, if you were to play the perfect move at every turn, that would be PI. Q is some function that tells you optimally, with perfect information the value of any move you could make. (Just like how stock-fish can tell you how many points a move in chess is worth.)

Now my personal comment: for games that are deterministic, there is no difference between a policy that takes the optimal move given only the current state of the board, and a policy that takes the optimal move given even more information, say a stack of future possible turns, etc.

However, in real life, you need to predict the future states, and sum across the best action taken at each future state as well. Unrealistic in the real world where the space of actions is infinite, and the universe to observe is not all simultaneously knowable. (hidden information)

Given the traditional educational background of the professionals in RL, maybe they were referring to the Q* from traditional rl. But I don't see why that would be novel, or notable, as it is a very old idea. Old Old math. From the 60s I think. So I sort of assumed its not. Could be relevant, or just a name collision.
Well we do have almost technological gods in fiction in the Culture series:

Ok slight miscalculation, having looked again, by revenue it would be around the size of the 250th largest company, ie the recorded music industry has the same revenues as GAP or Nordstrom. If GAP disappeared overnight, few would be impacted. If all recorded music disappeared overnight, it would be a disaster. Ok piracy then, and free music, but I think there’s a serious crisis in the production of new and innovative music, and it’s indicative that recorded music was a 20th century phenomenon.

To be honest Google scrapping the "don't be evil" mantra was quickly followed by Google beginning to behave substantially less ethically. In retrospect it's hard for me to argue that it didn't work.
Enough sunlight falls on Earth every 2 minutes to power humanity for a year [1]. If we need more power, we construct additional renewables. We will need to generate enough aggregate power in order to sequester all of the excess carbon emitted into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial age. When the price of power goes to zero or negative, that is the ideal time for batteries to charge that provide power to carbon capture facilities.

Of course, we should still be leaning into generation and consumption that does not emit carbon. Otherwise we continue to rack up carbon debt we will have to pay back with future clean energy.

My favorite form of carbon capture is building habitat for organisms. Then you are increasing the carrying capacity of the planet for life, which also stores carbon. And you are addressing the extinction event.
> While slavery made money for the slave owners, the South as a whole was poor and couldn't keep up with the North when it came to actual economic activity. That is why they lost their war of survival.

This is 100% false. The South was wealthy as fuck. The North and South had a very important trade relationship where they both benefited. The southern plantations grew the cotton that the northern industrialists profited from.

> One of the reasons why slavery died out in the Western world was that it was becoming uneconomical in a world that was shifting from agriculture to industry.

This isn't true as far as I know. The South tried to replicate slavery with Jim Crow because the free and cheap labor was immensely profitable. The South fought the Civil War because they were fighting to protect their right to slavery since it made them so rich.
Skepticism is warranted but PV outlook is also a bit tricky since it’s similar to a massively scaled process and China was able to bring an enormous amount of capacity online. I’m not sure that there’s much possibility of that kind of curve for carbon capture.

Orange wine is made from white grapes fermented on the skins. It's probably past its peak of popularity at this point, but for the last few years it's been the "new big thing" in trendy wine circles.

Some people speculate that it is designed to take foreign satellites offline. Perhaps part of that mission is bringing them back to Earth to be analyzed.

One would think the answer would be competing against the bad platforms by offering alternatives with the quality of service the incumbents are denying to their users. If Google is shit, simply building a better, non-shitty Google should be enough. If it isn't, that's evidence that Google isn't actually shit for most people.

That or everyone retreats to small web alternatives like Gemini[0] which are purposely designed to be anti-growth and anti-capitalist, and gatekeeps the hell out of everything.

Show HN: Daily algos trainer with progress tracking
Because I wanted to refresh some basic algos from time to time, I've extended a repo from ThePrimeagen so it allows me to practice some selected problems and gather info about my attempts. The data is then saved and if it resides in a public repo, it can be used to create a Github badge (WIP).

A tendency that would take humanity a few hundred years backward, that's such a shame.

Aren't you making things needlessly complicated as this point? I like Vim, and Neovim, but wouldn't it be better / smarter / faster to just use Xcode?

It's great that Neovim can be used for iOS and macOS development, I perhaps fail to see the point. Xcode isn't the greatest IDE developer conceived by man, it's probably not even in the top 10, but at least you know that it will remain fairly stable (as in it's a stable platform, not that it's unlikely to crash) and always support iOS and macOS in the latest version. Every bit of documentation and reference material out there is also going to assume that you run Xcode... Oh and as the article points out, you're going to need Xcode anyway.
It would raise too many questions like "why did most of my money go to artists I never listened to in the first place" and Spotify does not want you to be aware of that.
Humans are more than language models (language processing machines); LLMs are not even a sliver of what a true AI would be. It's so very silly that so much credence is given to them.
Totally fair take. As a consumer I have a tendency to forget it's a game of trade-off, but I don't think that it's worth it, which is why I returned the phone, but I hope my opinion won't match everyone's and a lot of people will be happy with the device.

It's just a shame, even now I find myself eyeing the black Friday sales prices. I loved everything else about the phone, but I know that the battery life is going to drive me mad and with all the heat and increased number of charge cycles there's just no way the battery is going to last as long as the support does and that's a deal breaker for me.
> "depend" is too strong a word, given that you can accomplish the same task (finding pictures) manually as well

Ok, do this exercise right now (if you have anywhere between 1-10k pictures on your phone): find all the pictures from 3 family members of your choice.

Clock it, let me know how long it will take you to perform this task.

Now think about my mom in her 70s, do you think it's completely doable for her to find pictures of my dead grandmother this way?

> Honestly in my personal experience the best way to accomplish such a thing is still to order by date, because you, holding your camara/phone, move continously through time/space. Pictures of a certain person usually occur together and aren't randomly distributed. An exception is maybe your SO and others you may take a photo of on a whim.

How would ordering by date give my mother access to all pictures she might have from my grandmother?

Of course that AI will not find every single instance of a face at any angle, but it will be "good enough" to find a bunch of them pretty quickly when my mother is missing her mother and wants to see a nice picture.

That's the use case, it's not someone trying to organise their pictures with utmost precision, accuracy, and completeness, it's a common person trying to find some nice pictures of a loved one. If they don't have to spend 2 hours scrolling through an endless set of pictures it's already a pretty damn good feature.
Check the sibling comment for a graph that claims otherwise. And even if they did change after more than a decade it doesn't give me confidence in new predictions from them.
You beat me to it. It is indeed a fantastic Veritasium video. One of his best, in my opinion.

Yeah I'm not that keen to pay for anything - hence not using Productboard as I mentioned. If the pricing was usage based (ideally with some amount free) vs. per user that might be ok. Like say if I could have 100 or whatever ideas before I had to start paying, fine.

Issues/kanban is the most I do, just looking for a little more than that (and more product vs project oriented to think of it from a much bigger scale perspective) - somewhere to distill ideas before they end up as actionable issues, where I can work out what the issues should actually be if that makes sense.

Maybe I just need a big whiteboard.
Would you even need any explosives? Even just hitting something with an empty RV is going to be a fairly effective weapon.
> most people were buying 10, or 20, or 30, or more CDs a year

So most people have a collection of 100 to 300 CDs? And if you include tapes and records, the average senior owns between 300 and 1500 albums?

This seems totally delusional, I think you are in a bubble.
For years, I've actively pushed against the cashless society, I'll withdraw cash from an automatic teller and use it in preference to using my cards.

For starters there's privacy, one's cash transactions aren't sold off to data brokers or if they are then it's much harder to link a sale to a particular person. Then there's the reliability of cash, I'd hate to guess the number of times I've been held up in a supermarket aisle because someone's electronic transaction hasn't worked. Also, cash is just so convenient for small transactions.

Several weeks ago at a café where I get my takeaway coffee I had the owner whinge to me that the electronic transaction network had been down and he lost much business because customers carried no cash. To not disappoint customers he offered some services on an honor system where customers would later pay what they owed but this turned out to have several negative effects, the first was that a large percentage of customers failed to honor the debt and second, he actually lost customers overall because those who had not paid up were embarrassed to show their faces again in his café.

One wonders what will happen in a cashless society when we have a repeat of the Carrington Event and electronic systems go down for extended periods everywhere. As sure as eggs, such an event will happen eventually. At present, the move to a cashless society seems almost inevitable, perhaps the only thing that will stop it would be such an event.
Do you really think current AI progress is nothing more than an NFT repeat?
surely there are some countries on earth where fission reactors could be developed without government interference if that was all it took.
The price of something is determined by those that are willing to pay for it. And I am a Spotify artist just over the >1000 streams mark.

Spotify (and others) are a discovery service that you happen to get some money for. You are trying to get into the algo and if people like it reads that signal and puts it out. It has NOTHING to do with fairness. If your music doesn’t connect with people then, that.

If interested. Work cost circa €600 (mostly from session drummer) and an awful amount of work from me as the producer. Am I annoyed that I may never break even? No because I am realistic about the product I am creating and how it is a pyramid scheme. But I do get to listen to it

FWIW I paid roughly $25 USD for a lifetime license for BetterTouchTool about 5 years ago, and I still use that daily. Only going off the description, BetterTouchTool seems like mostly feature overlap (not fully) and more flexible version of OP’s app. With a free trial model like what BetterTouchTool uses I could easily see myself spending $49 USD on a tool like that today. It would obviously have to be as mature as BetterTouchTool and not brand new without as many features and polish like OP’s tool, but probably OP can start to increase the price over time to something more in that ballpark as more features are added without much chagrin.

Also FWIW, I tried the free/FOSS tools like Spectacle and Rectangle before eventually deciding on BetterTouchTool for its flexibility with key bindings and wide swath of api’s that they can be bound to.

When I write raytracing code or fiddly logic for games it will often give me comments along the lines of #I have no idea how this will work, probably should look this up.
The counter is also true that A1 gets money from people who have no idea A1 even exists. It's hard to say if one method is better or worse for the smaller artist. Basically, is it better to get a bigger piece of a much smaller pie or smaller piece of a much bigger pie. Without the data it's hard to know.

EDIT

I'll also add that the big name artists have value beyond the number of streams. A platform without Taylor Swift will have less overall users, less money for the royalty pool, less money for platform development, etc...

An interesting thought idea would be to create a streaming platform which only has artists outside the top..50? and see how it does.
