The YouTube app on our Sony TV kills me. Out of a variety of apps installed (Netflix, HBO, Disney, Apple, Prime) it's the only one that we need to adjust volume for EVERY SINGLE TIME because they decided 15 should be loud vs 30 on all the other apps. Especially frustrating when a lot of the time the first play experience in YouTube is being blasted with some kind of rapid-fire ad sequence.

I never buy this tax multiple times argument. My wages (money from labor) are taxed multiple times. But when it comes to money from capital, i start hearing this argument about double taxation being bad. What???
Haha, a normal 1440p / 4K YouTube video is a pretty monstrous workload for my Intel Core i5-8259U CPU at least! I get by completely thanks to the Intel Iris Plus 655 HW decoder. Otherwise my Intel NUC would indeed be a screeching, hot mess, and then I'm only talking of H.264 and H.265.

It is a damn good idea, although one (of many) ideas whose raison d'etre is a little bit unfortunate. In so many clinics you can't even make an appointment without (the correct brand of) insurance, though sometimes if you ask nicely about self-pay you get a large but finite, figure.

We'd recover vast institutional waste by removing health insurance as we know it from the equation - or at least by empowering providers to get paid by whomever they please. But until that (never) happens, we can at least make it less bad through automation.
I watch software decoded video all the time because I like watching anime. I have never, ever had any problems for quite literally over a decade thanks to how powerful CPUs have gotten.

Way back 20 years ago, you would have had a point. But today? CPUs are several orders of magnitudes of overpowered for the task.
Note that, historically, the US Navy had plenty of its own shipyards, and did produce many of its own ships.

I remember the UMPC! That was a whole category of portable computers that didn't stand the test of time. Apple got a lot of things right, but I think it was less about timing and more about being usable, and affordable by the masses. Blackberry was great but it cost too much and didn't have a big enough battery.

I wasn't talking about having problems decoding, I was talking about software decode screwing your battery life due to high CPU usage on certain streams. Which is a problem, but not something most people who don't have laptops care about.

Show HN: Chatclient – Build custom AI chatbot agents for your Business
Hi Everyone,

I am thrilled to share with you the latest project I've been working on – ChatClient.ai.

ChatClient.ai is the simplest ever chatbot agent builder. It is designed to be used across any website. The fundamental idea is simple yet powerful: automatically generate a personalized chatbot for any website by training it on the site's existing content.

Here's how it works: users log in, input their website URL, and click a button to initiate the training process. As the magic unfolds, a chatbot is born and seamlessly trained on the entirety of the website's content. The result? A chatbot that possesses an in-depth understanding of the website, ready to answer any user queries related to that specific site.

To showcase the capabilities of ChatClient.ai, we've implemented a demo chatbot at the bottom right of the ChatClient.ai website. This chatbot is uniquely trained on the content of ChatClient.ai itself, demonstrating its prowess in answering questions related to its own domain.

I invite you all to explore ChatClient.ai, try out the demo, and share your valuable feedback. Whether you're a blogger, business owner, or tech enthusiast, ChatClient.ai aims to democratize the integration of AI-driven chatbots into websites of all kinds.

Feel free to ask any technical questions or provide suggestions – I'm here to engage in discussions and improve ChatClient.ai based on your input.
I didn't mean to insult you personally. It's this braggadocious attitude that I've encountered in a lot of bouldering gyms that I've visited, so often that I assume it must part of the subculture mentality.

I love the sport and the physical challenge but I don't buy into the whole weed-smoking "I'm so counter-culture, bro" self-image. It's like Crossfit but for hipsters with shitty tattoos.

More than once, it seems, I (as a noobie) have been in the way of some "bro", who took a date to the bouldering gym in order to show off in front of the woman and (pretending to assist) to feel her up.

Maybe it's different where you train. Is it?

To put it in a bit more context: this was out-of-hours, and those Walmart cashiers shouldn't be sacked for immaturity and poor judgement in their personal lives if their work is life is up to scratch.

I know it is more complicated than that when your actions have wider reach, especially for someone as high up as a CEO, but for all of us these days with ubiquitous social media potentially giving us all more reach, as what you do in your off-time can negatively impact the company, and your position can lead to your stupid moments having far more impact on people generally.

Even a grade A class 1 drunken cockup, in personal time, shouldn't result in a firing unless it is part of a larger or repeating pattern.

IMO: he has taken ownership of his actions, accepted that they were stupid, apologies for causing office (and not in the “sorry you found it offensive” non-apology sort of way), etc, so : ridicule him by all means, but sacking seems OTT at this point. And if he does it, or something else similarly foolish, again, then we break out the pitchforks.

Until YouTube blocks you.

I'm really not arguing for any particular course of action but these options have real and potential time costs that need to be weighed against financial and mental load.
My smart TV blocks ads: I have SmartTube installed on it. It skips sponsor segments too!
> when not in fullscreen mode, I don't see why all the controls need to be confined to the video frame and disappear when not hovering

YouTube Premium offers Premium Controls which is a sidebox with the controls like you are asking for.

how come decoding is more work intensive vs transcoding ?
Yeah sure. I live in France, insulin here is "free" as in, you dont take money out of your pocket to pay it. Now hear me out. I get 50k salary before taxes and 32k salary after taxes. yep (actually my company pays 90k so its even more taxes). Also price of insulin in France is 80€ for 4 pens, so we suck/dont want to haggle with big pharma. Dont ever give me the "public healthcare is good" crap. It's good only if your state is not extremely corrupt.
> ... not normal behavior ...

Are we sure about that? There are politicians who have coordinated/enabled things with consequences that would justify capital punishment if someone believes in that as an option. For example, from a raw moral perspective a reasonable person could support executing the entire congressional Aye vote for the US sending the army into Afghanistan.

That would be a terrible mistake, because the incentives don't check out, politics would become a bloodbath when people make honest mistakes, bloody vengeance helps no-one and there is a plausible question around whether the person voting is making a personal decision or just trying to channel their voters. But since it is a superficially reasonable position I assume people would say that sort of thing regularly. To argue it out and learn why it is a bad idea, if nothing else.
I have gastroparesis, which often gives me bloating/pain that lasts a long time, and if I'm too hungry at night, I have to choose between trying to ignore hunger and not sleeping for the next ~3 hours (even a snack or a cup of water makes me bloated). On top of that, I live in a studio with a cat and a morning person. Due to this, sleeping for 8 hours straight uninterrupted is extremely difficult, so I'm very curious about polyphasic sleep.

In your experience, are you able to learn and be productive while adjusting to these sleep cycles? How long does it take you to adjust and feel well rested? Are there any risks to be wary of, and any tips to change my sleep routine effectively?
Indeed, in Norway for example, the tipping point was ~1995: Suddenly the competition had heated up enough that there were "free" phones with contract, and "everyone" got one - in absolute numbers they were still not everywhere, but the rate of increase was dramatic, and you'd go from not knowing anyone with a cellphone (me in '94 - literally zero people) to a large number having one by the summer of '95.

Other countries will have different specific times when this happened, but my impression is that cell phones largely took off in a lot of countries in the same way, because competition and high prices for spectrum meant the large telcos suddenly had a reason to poor vast amounts of cash into pushing cellphones almost "overnight", and suddenly even if you didn't have one yourself you'd at least know enough people that it wasn't anything unusual any more.

I'm 48. While I've seen many technical changes, and been part of e.g. driving internet adoption (the company I worked at in '95 was an internet service provide I co-founded, and triggered a price war on internet access in Norway with, that we soundly lost but at least it helped significantly change the market), but none of those changes - including the internet adoption - had such extremely rapid, very visible, effect on society in such a short period of time

(I think pervasive internet access has probably made a bigger difference in the long run, but of course part of that was also enabled by cellphones, but it took longer for it to shape things as visibly)
My futuristic variant is that around a static magnet there are sections of coils (or a magnetic screens with a Foucault current) with compensation of the magnetic field in the opposite direction.

My last guess before going to bed was that there are three electromagnets facing different directions. They turn on one after another. The magnetic sensor measures each value over synced time. The software calculates the triangulation from these values.

Do you mechanically rotate a large neodymium magnet?
...How are the courts not independent in the US?
I watch on battery if I'm out traveling.

The very slight increase in CPU processing and thus power use doesn't bother me at all. The screen takes more power than the CPU.

I habitually have Task Manager minimized in the tray area because I like monitoring my CPU usage at a glance, and decoding video in software simply does not even register as a noticable blip anymore.
I grew up being accustomed to having the TV as background noise but stopped watching it when I moved out. Now, when I visit my parents, it's honestly quite difficult for me to focus on conversation - there's a machine in the corner making deliberately attention-grabbing sights and sounds. So I think your experience is normal & I empathise with the generation that complained about TV ruining family life.
Nitpicking, but at least in the US, you dont "own" a fund.

Instead, many limited partners LPs are contributing members and the GP has control of the day to day even though he rarely contributes in any significant %

No one owns that structure. The GP controls it but at the mercy of the LPs for any major decision.

If you truly had an individual owner of a "fund" , this most likely is describing some other structure like a family office, for example.
The US wasn't always as dysfunctional or as corrupt of a banana republic of some billionaires, a nonexistent middle class, mostly poor people, and undercounted millions of homeless people living along freeway embankments and under highway overpasses. The problem is the blind faith in capitalist utopian magical thinking when certain functions are perverted when they are abandoned to unreasonable and under-regulated profit extraction. Prisons, firefighting, public safety, the military, healthcare, voting, and education should not be privatized or for-profit.
I apollogize in advance. I do not know what you are trying to say, so I am going to ask for clarification while answering as best I can.

> Have you seen old manuscripts?

I have seen pics of old manuscripts online.

> They weren't wrong.

Are you saying the old manuscripts were not wrong, or that the people who refused to use printed books were not wrong?

> But "something vaguely similar to this"-type of argument

Can you please clarify? Are you saying I made some sort of argument comparing printed books to hand-written manuscripts?

> But "something vaguely similar to this"-type of argument is fallacious nonsense in the first place.

Because I do not understand what that argument is, I can not know if it is correct or fallacious.

I look forward to any clarification. I like learning that I was previously wrong.

We're already using Liquibase where I work (I don't remember exactly why it was chosen over Flyway.) I also worked at a company where every DB access had to be done with a stored proc. The stored procs would be reviewed by the DB team. They were versioned by using a version number in the name, like GetUsers_v1, and multiple versions could exist at any given time in the DB.

Indeed the Cook-Levin theorem

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook%E2%80%93Levin_theorem

which actually proves that there exist NP-complete problems in NP is not a trivial result (and was at that time a highly surprising one).

So, indeed, "one half of the proof" has been done; the other half (which seems to be much harder) of P vs NP is still open.
Hey someone finally beat my high score of 58. I am obese, but I’ve been down as much as 50 pounds and up as much as 40 over my current, and it’s never really made a bit of difference. I have a very “tight” neck and throat and probably a deviated septum as well (on top of chronic nasal allergies/congestion), so yeah, I mouth breath a lot.

I’m due for a new machine soonish and I’m probably going to push for a bipap. I’m on an autos range of 17-20, and I will max that out sometimes. My scores are usually real good (like, sub 1.0), but the lack of headroom is concerning. 20 is as high as my machine (Resmed, luckily) goes, but my understanding is most bipaps go to 25, and the actual bilevel feature will likely be useful as well.
I got laid off, then got tonsillitis which turned into quinsy. Three days in hospital, then got Bells Palsy. I’m meant to be resting and recovering but the job search is always on my mind. Not doing great.

So, today, what is the most practical way to solder two wires in a straight line?

I've tried the sleeves, but they are bulky, and it is difficult to see if a good connection is made.

I've also tried manual soldering but it is always difficult to align the wires with grippers, and the temperature causes the grippers to go through the insulation. And you need shrink tubing.

There's no out-of-hours for CEO. He was using is official Twitter account to make a public statement, that's a work-related mistake. (It's not like he used some anonymous account to troll on some subreddit)

> Walmart cashiers shouldn't be sacked for immaturity and poor judgement in their personal lives if their work is life is up to scratch.

I don't know if they should, but they definitely are. Musk's obsession with his employees drug use out of work is an example (and also an example of double standards between CEOs and blue collar workers).

It's a common problem for network protocols, IO subsystems, etc. and really even any software with error handling.

It's been a few years since I worked on any program using boost asio, but at least back then if you straced it you'd find it constantly attempting to malloc hundreds of TB of ram, failing harmlessly, then continuing on with its life. (bet that will be fun when someone tries to run it on a system that supports that much virtual address space)

Similarly anything with any kind of feedback correction. PID controllers, codecs that code residuals-- you can get things horribly wrong and the later steps will paper it over.

Taking a step back you can even say that common software development practices-- a kind of meta program-- have the issue: A drunk squirrel sends you a patch full of errors, your test suite flags some which you fix. Then you ship all the bugs you didn't catch, because the test suite caused you to fix some issues but didn't change the fact that you were accepting code from a dubious source.

So I would say that the ML world is only special in that they exist almost entirely of self-correcting mechanisms and that inconsistent performance is broadly expected to a vastly greater degree, so when errors leak through you still may not react. If a calculator app told you that 2+2=5 you'd immediately be sure that something is actually broken, while if some LLM does it, it could just be an expected limitation (or even just sampling bad luck).
