What do you mean "made up"?

The Arrs suite is definitely a thing, as are the other tools I talk about.

There's a reference docker that automates this whole toolchain https://github.com/AdrienPoupa/docker-compose-nas

Whats nice is that Prowlarr will scrape all the torrent sites for goodies to index, and your users in jellyfin can just request, and it just shows up. You can even have a discord channel and the tools will announce when stuff's done.

Piracy is 10000x better than paying for continually worsening streaming (pile of shit).

Edit: And frankly, the billionaires copy with little ramifications, and add paywalls. I'll copy as well. The big difference is I do it for free.
I have a work-issued Lenovo ThinkCentre M Tiny...it's so infuriatingly loud! The fans seem to spin up at completely random times that have nothing to do with workload, and they're incredibly loud.
My guess is that you signed up through a VPN, and this is an anti-bot automated system. I'm not a meta employee, just speculating. Remember, VPNs are the collective abuse of all of their users, not just you; same with public access networks.
I had small talk with a stranger on a train, once. In the exchange, he said something that I hadn't heard before - it's not the weather that is bad, it's that you aren't dressed right for the weather. It meant so much more than just about weather to me - also, started looking at weather differenly, haha... I am glad that we had the little exchange of small talk on a cold rainy morning in London.
Why does this matter at all? We’re talking about statistical models not humans
I used twilio for years until in August of 2023 they started blocking all my text messages, then they wanted you to describe what you're using it for and you had to pay money to fill out a form to tell them what you're using the text messages for.... then they would deny that and then you basically can't use twilio, or pay them to fill out the form again so they can deny you again.... This is for outbound SMS (payment notifications to customers) so I wound up writing an Android application that runs on a phone that just sends out SMS messages using an API talking to a server..... I'm paying $8 a month to Tello now which is about 1/5 the amount of money that I was paying to twilio so I'm glad that I switched..... but I think they really screwed up recently.
> the U.S model of copyright is not the only one in the world and many other places do not believe the purpose of copyright is to foster human progress.

In democratic places, copyright is extended for the benefit of the population at large. That does not necessarily mean fostering human progress, but it does mean something that benefits the population as a whole. Copyright can be taken away if the people at large don't see some kind benefit.

> I'm thinking you probably don't know anything about the pricing of short stories?

If exchanged for $1 per copy, you have a theoretical ~$8 billion dollar market. $65k is chump change in comparison. Hell, make it 1¢ – that's still $80 million. If you have not captured anywhere close to those numbers, you have either failed to do your work justice in distribution or it is actually worthless. Either way, in that state what is the benefit to you holding it back?

> Let's say you sell to the New Yorker http://quick-brown-fox-canada.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-new-y... so you earn about 7,500 for the short story.

But in that case you can sell the copyright, so they would inherit the copyright cost. Whether or not they see $65k worth of copyright value is up to them. It would no longer be your burden if you return to your minimum wage job after the sale.

> I really find it amusing that HN of all places really wants to limit how people can make money on what is an entrepreneurial activity

I find it amusing that someone, on HN of all places, falls down to basic logic. An idea posted on an internet forum does not imply one's wants or desires.

Moreover, for practical purposes, why would you even talk about what you actually want? The thing you have chosen as your want is where you will have already put in the most thought effort. What more are you going to learn once you have settled on something? The things you don't want are going to provide a much more interesting discussion and opportunities to learn.
It's almost as if the laws of physics align entirely with the observed result! Baffling!

Would totally derail faux open-source LLMs.

Genuinely open-source LLMs woukd bw fine.
> nonetheless, the point stands.

I'm not contending the point (I'm in slight agreement with you, I believe). I'm only trying to point out that people are often talking past each other, because each person in that two-way conversation are often using different meanings of the word "evidence".

There is too much nuance to call either end of the spectrum "wrong for the meaning of 'evidence'".
I think if you account for all of the 2000s devices that had embedded java (but no web browsers) (think feature phones) java is probably "more multiplatform"
Neither is/does an LLM. Animals are also not humans, btw., so the differentiation is a bit more nuanced as you make it out.
You’re applying a technical standard to a people problem.

The issue here is likely legal liability, as evidenced by the pilot’s union opposition to longer recordings.

Whatever the law, there is always a loophole.
For better or worse, several of the recent tax laws have heavily incentivized domestic manufacturing, especially in high-tech spaces like batteries, EVs, and semiconductors. There will indeed be a lot of actual manufacturing in the states in the next few years. Just look at the construction investment charts, there's legitimate industrial policy for the first time in generations. Compare the manufacturing facility spending today vs. the "other" category which included the housing boom in 2007;

It's not about cost or technology. The pilot's union is against longer recordings.
Maybe, but the recordings until that point would still be available, so we would atleast hear what happened to the copilot and what did they say etc.

How is that worse compared to now where we don't even know where the plane is? Just the underwater search cost $200M, with no results. Would've costed more if they didn't give up so easily.

Yeah, they can use Starlink to stream it across X, then store it (distributed, hashed, salted, and encrypted) in Tesla on-board storage. Only gold verified X users would get to access it without FAA permission.
Are there any alternatives that are as comprehensive and nice to use as Sentry?

I’ve been growing more and more disappointed with the JS bundle size growth over the last few years, some of which can be mitigated by webpack config hacks (https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/co...) but it’s still quite a large portion of the production bundle.
Ah yes, Bombardier. I got it mixed up in my head. Thanks for the correction and a perspective on the deal
>In the sciences, "someone says" is the lowest form of evidence there is. It is so close to "no evidence" that we simply disregard it without further thought.

hmmm. So citations in scientific papers are really disses? Interesting!
I love this kind of work. I've had a (40+ year old) belief that LRU is probably the right approach, and since I don't pay much attention to cache algos that belief has settled comfortably in the back of my mind.

It's so great to see that this area is subject if theoretical and empirical work and in fact my default view is likely wrong in most cases.
So if talent is cheap and we have many smart people unemployed why don’t we get organized and experiment on startup ideas we always wanted to build?

OK, again, you make good points about Singapore being like a second Switzerland. But what I was trying to convey initially is that such countries are like oversized tax heavens. Combined population of both is what, 10 million? Compared to 8 billion humans living in this world. That was my point. How many more countries can you convert to live off finance? It's a niche, a very cozy one for sure, but it's not something that would be globally applicable. And anyway, since most of the capital flowing through these small countries is foreign, it's subject to the restrictions of the countries of the origin. So it's not really Switzerland or Singapore's capital.
The enslaving happens by 'financialization' of industries. This term has already well known meaning which you can look-up to get a good description because I'm afraid I can't articulate it good enough. But in a nutshell it means destroying industrial base for short-term gains and siphoning off of _existing_ wealth from the industry into finance.
Funny, I was just thinking that they're refreshing different looking. Almost everything on the road today looks the same to me, I often have to look at the badge on a vehicle to know the manufacturer.

I do not own Apple stock, I don't work for them, and I'm not buying one (although I'll be watching with great interest)

However.... whether or not you think any of these products are worth it, the Apple Vision Pro is objectively pretty far ahead of the Quest 2/3 in terms of capability.
Author here. Spent far too much time staring at spreadsheets in my living room calculating observability costs across different vendors and decided to write a post about it.

This is my attempt to create a common model for thinking about usage based pricing across all the vendors and (make a best effort attempt) normalize and compare the actual cost of usage.

If you have any questions or comments, would love to hear them.
I feel like this "bad data" problem would disappear immediately if there were real world consequences for it being incorrect.

Which is to say, if you were to build out a system that limits speed based on some authoritative database of speed limits, then suddenly there's an incentive to make sure that database is actually correct (where there was no such incentive before).

The good part is that you can upgrade ram/storage/interfaces. The bad part (as far as a tidy integrated package) is that they have external PSUs.

I have a trouble-free HP G series but it isn't clear to me what would differentiate it from the equivalent Lenovo or Dell.

I thought the article might be discussing the impact of CPU caches on the Sieve of Eratosthenese when used as a processor benchmark. I'm pretty sure I thought wrong.

Next I thought it might be an algorithm for managing the CPU caches, Wrong again (I think.)

I think it's a discussion of managing application caches or perhaps things like disk caches. Not sure if I'm right.

I think the feedback you'll get is that ideas are fairly worthless. They are not validated with a market, and it is all about implementation anyway.

So this is the kind of thing I'd absolutely browse with interest. But there is zero chance I'd pay for it.
If you don't need a lot of performance (depending on how old those games are) you can get a second-hand HP EliteDesk 705 G5 Mini or Lenovo M75q Tiny (both with AMD Ryzen 3200GE / Vega 8) for very little money.
The rebuttal of the jackass is always to attack others reading comprehension. I don’t care about your anti-human philosophy anyway, humans are what matters not machines owned by billion dollar corporations looking to skirt copyright laws.

The long term effects are potentially pretty bad for the US (and it's aerospace industry generally), if the FAA is no longer trusted then that's a loss of prestige and a business cost because anyone wanting to sell abroad can expect local regulators to get involved, FAA and EASA have had a bilateral agreement for a while to basically cover a "you do yours and we'll do ours" approach.
Is the typeface/font being used here glitch for others, too? It looks kinda like a dyslexic optimized font where certain characters have different weights.
By HR. HR decided to add them. They make a judgement based on your how well you did at education, which does imply how smart you are.

But as I said, HR added them and stopping using tech because of the HR works is a bit ridiculous. "I don't use your product because I was going to apply for a job and your questions were stupid" is weird as hell since their product isn't built by HR.
Show HN: A Site to Catalog Media Mentioned in Podcast Episodes
Hello, HN!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past year: it's a website that visually catalogs all media mentioned during a podcast episode. This tool is designed to enhance the podcast listening experience by providing a reference to all the media mentioned during a podcast. It's essentially a show notes site.

Given the response for the initial podcast (Armchair Expert) I think there's value and potential to expand this concept to more podcasts and would love to gather feedback, ideas, and perhaps even discuss collaboration opportunities.

The content is manually added to the platform for not until I can find a reliable ML source that can successfully parse a podcast transcript for movies, shows, etc.

Here's an example using the Armchair Expert podcast - https://armchairmediaexplorer.com

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
What kind of recommendation is this? Either buy outdated stuff or buy something bigger while ignoring the thousands of minipcs models available?
Peregrine moon lander suffers anomaly after launch
(1) Starlink for airplanes is very expensive. Multiply that by many many thousands of planes and its $$$$$$$$.

(2) With that many planes you start to get into Starlink bandwidth issues. Cant it support that many? I honestly don't know

(3) Its a new complicated piece of equipment that may fail. What if the transmitter is broken? Blackbox systems are much simpler

(4) A lot of this data is already transmitted (speed, altitude, position, etc, just not voice), so no need to build a system for it.
In English common law, this is called "taking judicial notice".

It's usually for common-sensical things that aren't controversial. Of course, judges could misapply this rule, but if a judge is sitting on a blasphemy trial you have more problems (with the legal system) than a dispute about whether "religion is real".

I suspect the rule is just to make things less "anal" for court procedings. Otherwise every small bit of fact needs to be proven. Things like "summer is hot", "Taylor Swift is a famous singer", "computers can be hacked", "smart phones can take photos", etc. etc. Surely you don't want to call expert witnesses for these, right?

And given that the judge ultimately calls the shots (since they're the ultimate interpreter of the law), you'd have a problem if a biased judge is appointed anyway, no matter what rules of evidence is adopted.
LLMs are simply machines.

Human rights (and obligations?) for all self-aware animals then? I personally am quite fond of magpies, so there is that.
Probably not, considering it uses gcc as a backend
Doesn't https://caniuse.com already fill this need? This article is just evangelism, if you want technical sources the community has had you covered for a long time.
Sitting in traffic is not real life. Real life is bingeing Netfix series!
Yeah, this is an inane, self-inflicted, and completely trivially solvable problem.

The voice recorder overwrites itself on a two-hour loop. Two hours of voice data takes about a gigabyte of space at most. There is no technical barrier to right sizing this, and there is nothing special about the aerospace use case that prevents it.

Why would anyone think a two-hour buffer for something so critical would be appropriate? And why would it continue to overwrite itself after it’s grounded? Why is there no backup? Has it never been thought relevant to gather, say, an entire flights worth of data instead?

This highlights a complete failure on multiple levels and an inability to critically think about the problem space. How much time was spent implementing a system that under most circumstances where it would be needed would render itself entirely useless?

These signal words act as a silent, passive test of competence in that once you hear them, you can be assured of the speaker's ignorance and discount their opinions accordingly.
on the flip side, so much of the Covid discourse was about these fabled policies which would do great things (but required 100% compliance), followed by indignation/panic and hysteria/angry mobs when it turned out that 100% compliance is hard.
"No cause for concern" and "denied any association" are not the same thing.

Because a model isn't real, it's not alive, it's not human, it doesn't know right from wrong, it's a software machine, nothing more.

A "boot" is US Marine who has recently completed basic training (commonly called "boot camp"). It's a multi-use term and not a simple insult (but it's never a positive statement).
Not everything is an invention.

Do you have any routines that you've refined over the years? Is every step you take in a routine something you were taught or learned elsewhere? Or did you "invent" part of it yourself?

I know how to make tea or coffee. Should someone take the credit for the fact that I know to start boiling water first, while I get everything else together, because this results in the most efficient use of my time?

Denise: C64/Amiga emulator with PAL shader and runAhead
I look at your screenshot list and those are huge problems with huge companies trying to solve them. This seems more like a big opportunities startup list than something for side projects. That may not be representative of what is in the database, but those are huge pain points, not niche problems.
Features are both being added and removed. Actually, the main difference is that more feature are being added than were before, but this is being done in a more haphazard way. Sometimes things appear to break but are then fixed. It's not awful though, is what I'm saying.
There’s different kinds of “masks” and different kinds of “work”

FFP3 are the standard for protecting against airborne disease and they work as intended. That’s literally one of the purposes they’re designed for.
FF2/N95 also work quite well, which was known for a long time, including from SARS and MERS studies.

Work can mean that they prevent transmission or reduce the risk. It might have been worth wearing a surgical mask, as I remember reading that it did reduce risk enough for it to be recommended in Germany once the establishment got over their mask procurement predicament.

Finally, original Covid was not as contagious as current Covid, which is one of the if not the most contagious airborne disease.

Based on e.g. SARS it would have been rational to recommend FFP2 masks, as was done in e.g. South Korea. However, incompetent Westen governments utterly failed to make such masks available to the population, so they tended to err on the “no evidence masks work” side.
(That's what I thought as well)
Do you have references to share?
It depends on what part of browsers are being spoken about. They’re plenty flexible and capable for the case of traditional pages and server-side apps, but it’s a totally different story for interactive widgets and especially full blown SPA’s.

For example, browsers don’t furnish a tableview/datagrid or even a basic single column recycler view, meaning one has to find a third party library to do those things that’s still maintained, fits into your stack, and has holes in functionality that are tolerable for the use case in question, or if none meet those criteria write it themselves. The result is a million reimplementations of the same thing nearly all of which have major shortcomings (some of which are present only because they aren’t implemented as a native browser control).

I totally get that styling is a pivotal part of web apps but I think that can be maintained without requiring devs to build castles from grains of sand instead of giving them more appropriate building materials to use.
