I take it they're not forcing contributors to lint code, then?
Yeah, I agree, that metaphor lacked an explanatory conclusion.

If I had to fill one in, I'd say that people often blame the external world for not providing the ingredients necessary for happiness, when they actually do have them on hand already. What they are lacking is choosing to compose them into a meaningful whole, which requires effort on their part.
Actually, I almost want to give it a try now. There's some messy try-catch Java code at work that might benefit.

Don't worry, I won't deploy it until my team has seen it ;)
Kubernetes as Virtual Machines Orchestrator
Hey I'd like to share my article about how to turn Kubernetes into a tool for running virtual machines with KubeVirt. Software-defined storage and networking are covered with LINSTOR and KubeOVN technologies.
I remember the default media player that shipped on Windows was absolutely terrible because it could only play a very limited number of file formats, none of which were actually used much by movie files found in the wild. If you wanted to actually play a video, you had to try your luck and choose among several 3p "codec packs" half of which were probably loaded with malware.

People who have always lived in a world with great software like VLC and MPV and ffmpeg underestimate how hard it was to actually play a video file on your computer back in 2000.
Never Burnout: Here Is How Healthy High Performers Approach Time Management
Engineering and finance folks are going to love me because I think I can say what I mean better using formulas than words.

What I am saying is that, instead of “my whole time – my work time = personal time”,

I want you to switch to “my whole time – my personal time = my work time”

The self-care time is the guaranteed piece in the equation and the work time is the one that fluctuates over time.

This shift in mindset is really helpful when work demands start eating into your personal time, which usually happens all the time.
Haven't really dived into Rust yet because its syntax looks a bit ugly to me. But yeah if I have to choose between Rust and C++, I would be happy to try Rust if there is a library/framework in Rust that does a better job.
Compared to 2024, when of course nobody would throw away an enormous amount of existing brand awareness to have an X for their product name
First of, ffmpeg is amazing, I'm very thankful to everyone involved in it.

> dnn filter libtorch backend

What's ffmpeg's plan regarding ML based filters? When looking through the filter documentation it seems like filters use three different backends: tensorflow, torch, and openvino. Doesn't seem optimal, is there any discussion about consolidating on one backend?

ML filters need model files, and the filters take a path to a model file as one of their arguments. This makes them really difficult to use, if you're lucky you can find a suitable model and download somewhere, otherwise you need to find a separate model training project and dataset and run that first. Are there any plans on streamlining ML filters and model handling for ffmpeg? Maybe a model file repository with an option of installing these in an official models path on the system?

Most image and video research use ML now, but I don't get the impression that ffmpeg tries to integrate the modern technologies well yet. Being able to do for instance spatial and temporal super resolution using standard ffmpeg filters would be a big improvement, and I think things like automatic subtitles using whisper would be a good fit too. But it should start with a coherent ML strategy regarding inference backend and model management.
Why, exactly, is that a stretch? I gave reasons as to why a car is a computer. Examples of parallels between it and phones/tablets/computers and examples of the literal interconnected computers being used in modern cars. You’ve done nothing but say it’s a stretch in two different ways now with no justification or reasoning.

If you don’t have any actual reasons or rebuttals, then there’s nothing left to discuss.
This market is troubling. But I have a different question:

What does the long game look like for raw training data? How will AIs maintain the quality of their diet?

To compare, web search started — in the early days of Google — as a huge win because so much valuable information that was scattered around became findable. But over time it has become whac-a-mole with spam and AI copypasta, and now it's a struggle to keep returning good results, for any search engine.
As a native Californian this provokes a bit of a chuckle. Try a six plus sometime!

Escaping the bog is a toothbrush problem, not a diploma problem.
Rust's error handling is in my opinion perfect. An operation that can fail will return a Result<T, E> type, it will either be Ok(T), or Err(E). You can pattern match a Result, and decide what to do with it.

Or, more likely, you just want to pass that error back up to your calling function to decide what to do with it, so you just put a ? on the end of your function call like this:

let result = potentially_failing_function()?;

A lot of the problems seems to be that Internet service doesn't need to be a full monopoly. Separate the organization that tears up the ground and from the one that provides data service.

I failed to report an entire W2 on my taxes back in like 2018. The IRS sent me a nice letter that said "Hey, we noticed you did your taxes wrong, so we amended them for you and you owe us 272 dollars"

I have ADHD and suck at doing important things, so I uh, never got around to paying that owed tax. A few years later I get a letter in the mail saying "Because you owe back taxes, the IRS is claiming your state tax return". Because it's a small amount, they did that two years. The back taxes are now paid off, and the IRS has not contacted me since, and I am under the impression they are satisfied with the situation.

The IRS does nothing unless you fragrantly and willfully attempt to defraud them. Mistakes are not something they give a shit about. They will send you a letter that explains what they believe you owe them, and if you do not dispute that situation, they will claim tax returns and other sources they have easy access to pay it off. Garnishing wages is not easy to do and they would likely not do it for small amounts.

I'm so tired of the right wing "if you mess up your tax form the IRS will arrest you!" BS. It's just fear tactics to continue to disassemble the IRS so that they cannot stop large corporations from straight up lying to the IRS.
The entire part? I can't help you with fundamental reading.

Yes, I've seen this, but I am a bit of a fitness enthusiast, and nobody's going to prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide until I gain 200lbs and wreck my health, which I am unwilling to do.

Mostly due to cache reads / writes if I had to guess, the dashboard isn't showing any data currently.

Overall, it's really not clear how this can be optimized.
It's... cache... You could have less cache writes, but it means your users see stale content, which isn't an acceptable solution.

It was Gate One: https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne

(Note: Company no longer exists so it is unmaintained, fork at will =)

It's been so long since I've looked at the code but I did write excellent documentation, most of which is generated from docstrings. Example:

https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/blob/master/gateone/core/...

You can read the documentation here:

https://liftoff.github.io/GateOne/

If you look at the bookmarks plugin you can see an example of how I performed this style of client<->server synchronization using an Update Sequence Number (USN):

https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/blob/6ae1d01f7fe21e2703bd...

After the web client connects to the websocket all the plugin's `init()` methods are called and the bookmarks plugin's javascript file calls `userLoginSync()`:

https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/blob/6ae1d01f7fe21e2703bd...

It sends the current USN (which is retrieved from `localStorage`) to the server (the routing is quite sophisticated... Just know that the message ends up going to the correct function =) and if it's different from the USN on the server the server will send an updated list of bookmarks to the client at which point the client will take care of that via its own handler:

https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne/blob/6ae1d01f7fe21e2703bd...

If you examine the bookmarks.js from top to bottom (it's not THAT long) you should get the gist of where and how various states are stored. That plugin mostly deals with stuff in `localStorage` but if you poke around in Gate One you'll see vastly more sophisticated state synchronization and state update routines at work.

If any west-coasters are confused as to how this is news: the Northeast is sort of geologically unusual for the US in that we have almost no surprising, sudden weather thingies.

No tornados, mild thunderstorm, occasional hurricanes (but they are usually weakened a bit compared to, like, Florida by the time they get up here and they’ve spent a long time going up the coast so they tend to be well tracked by forecasters), some flooding but not much, and no earthquakes. Our bad weather events are usually blizzards, which you can see coming and which take a while to accumulate.

We’re right in the middle of the North American plate and the area is covered in gentle old hills and mountains.

So, we’re all just not used to the planet surprising us!
I was curious if it was just some kind of horrific backlog but there didn't seem to be an oppressive number of PRs open, although it seems the new submissions drag their feet quite a bit https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls?q=is%3Apr+i...

Also, it seems there is currently one in progress to drop the "6" qualifier on the ffmpeg binaries <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/23315/files> so it'll be fascinating to see if any new ffmpeg7 then subsequently puts the "7" back, beginning the cycle again
Stack traces and error handling are different thing. You want a stack when you have an unhandled error and need to figure out what went wrong. By definition "handling" an error goes down some known path where you know where you were and why. I mean, it's true you can handle errors well or badly; but as a general rule if you need a stack to figure out what your handling output means, you did it badly.
Funnily, this is how Google improved their voice recognition.

> You can leave a ChatGPT instance running for a thousand years and it will never do anything until prompted. That's not intelligence.

I do not see how this requirement you have stated is an inherent property of how you have defined "artificial" or "intelligence". I think what you have described fits more with the traditional depiction of AI, but I don't agree that it is inherent.

Which I why I agree with the person you responded to: I think there is no consensus view on what is and isn't AI because people seem to have different tests, weights, etc. in their mind for what "counts". I think it's a bit of a pointless exercise, but a mildly interesting one at least.
The procedural error was that the prosecution neglected to have someone testify that the evidence submitted of the emails, texts and phone calls was a true representation of the actual emails, texts and phone calls originally made.

That's a mistake for the prosecution to contend with in correctly making their case before the court, but it doesn't stop everyone else from casting their own judgement.

I can't think of any other plausible explanation of why he was arrested with $500 in his hand at a specific place that had been prearranged over email, phone calls and texts, other than to commit the rape of a 12-year-old girl, for that price, that had been discussed with the undercover officers - can you?
So Tesla is abandoning the one the thing where they've shown competence, building good-enough EVs, profitably and at scale; in order to enter a market where competitors are already established, the legal requirements are high, and the public already has a sour opinion of the company.

yes social safety nets would be the usual way the impact/consequences are taken care of. At the same time america could also lean into the idea of the employer providing everything, in that case it would make sense for the employer to also take care of the consequences.
I think your evaluation of Windows is outdated. Windows 11’s settings screen is quite unified. I haven’t seen anything that resembles Windows 7 in a long time.

The rest of your comment is pretty irrelevant to this OS if I’ll be honest. It’s all about cloud storage and uploads, all activity unrelated to the local OS.

It's the same thing for me. I don't have any goal for books, but I look back and think "hey, last month I wasn't reading too much, why is that?"

This year I'm also interested in movies, so I set a goal to watch at least 4 per month. It's more to make sure I don't waste time on Youtube/TikTok/Social Media, and take the time to do things I enjoy more in the long run
