For lossless cut, there's the LosslessCut [1] app, which even has an experimental but mostly working version of a "smart cut" feature [2] (aka. only re-encode the minimal mandatory amount of frames if you trim at a point between 2 key frames)

Out of curiosity, what would be your n for each supplier?
Same here. I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible. In the Netherlands we do have 'Bol' but it basically boils down to the same thing: giving your money to one big player.

Another option is getting it at the Dutch Online Library but they have a limited selection.

In some cases you can buy the book directly from the author (like Derek Sivers) but that's more an exception than the rule.

I really wished there were more small e-book stores. Maybe focused on specific genres but so far I have been unsuccesful finding any.
As a Californian, I experienced a lot of trouble getting quotes for collision and comprehensive in the past year for reasonable prices, if at all - everyone was happy with liability, but it sounded like general property damage (fires, floods, landslides, etc.) for autos led a lot of companies to exit the California market or be very selective.

Of course higher repair costs due to general inflation, newer cars having lots of sensors etc. add to it as well, but the agents I talked to specifically cited general comprehensive (not collision or liability) claim concerns as one of the main reasons.
The kinds of EV repairs insurance companies are concerned with are likely not cheaper. Less third-party parts, fewer technicians with expertise, and some models like Rivians are ridiculously expensive for even basic body work. I assume they have a higher risk of being a total loss (especially if the main battery is damaged)
I think maybe the point is rather than faces and voices can be indexed like text now too. For a brief time this was probably computationally infeasible and so it offered privacy, but now a government or company could theoretically automatically analyze all video chats.

PGP+email still makes indexing this content computationally infeasible though.
That’s cool, but is there a way to use another vendor instead of GitHub CoPilot?
You won't ever see fast compilation times with it, and here's why:

> type annotations are rarely necessary, thanks to powerful type inference. This keeps the code clean and feels like a dynamic language.[1]

I prefer Sorbet[2] for Ruby, which is pretty fast and a reasonable compromise. People complain about the verbosity, but you can't have both speed and type inference. Pick one.

Some of the verbosity in Sorbet, however, comes as an indirect result of an underdeveloped Generic type system (the rest of the parts work great though). Some of the verbosity comes from lack of fluency with the tool, which gets better with practice, and doing research. The bottom line is I often think its a skill issue when people say it leads to code that is too verbose.

Youre right there is a lot of ambiguity there. I think being able to scan user actions helps a ton with this though, because you know exactly the steps the user took. Most of the times I want this is when I literally have to repeat the same set of actions 5+ times and writing a script to do it isnt worth it. I want to be able to just save/train the model and have it do what I want. Today I literally built a jar 50 times, with each time having to open up two folders and copying files between the two same directories. Massively annoying.

There is still some ambiguity there because cases might slightly differ, youre right.

For rm/mv. mv is easily reversible no? You just need to store some context. Same with rm, just copy it to a temp directory. But again with a confirmation prompt its a non issue either way.

> The future of Chinese tech belongs to companies that are much more fast moving

Not at all. The future of Chinese tech is state owned enterprises [1]. Just like other Chinese industries, such as state owned real estates [2] or state run communal restaurants [3]. Just like Soviet Union, before it fell.

"The Peterson Institute for International Economics analyzed the market capitalization of China's top 100 companies. It found that the share of total market capitalization held by state-controlled enterprises, in which the government holds a stake of 50% or more, rose to 50% by the end of 2023, the highest proportion in five years"

We need to be able to "pin" sub-comments like this as "top comment" in a thread. Very well played!
Labels like these are arbitrary anyways. It's just about what is explicitly said vs what happens in the shadows.

Take "fines" for example. They are the cost of doing business and never actually dissuade the behavior (in the USA). This in effect allows the government to act as a shareholder (fines = dividends) under the guise of domestic legal enforcement.

Then they turn around and protect the same corporations intellectual and physical property abroad.
It's worse than bare maintenance, MS may have entered the stage of "clueless breaking" probably for the same reasons outlined above (newcomers don't understand what came before them).

The following is an account as an end-user. It is an old Win32 program from the 90s. Remember the theme styling controls from Desktop->Properties etc? For example you could change the white Control background to something else. Even if it never worked well enough everywhere, it was supported by native Controls. And in this application too. Recently the developer must have migrated the app to a new SDK (I guess). Not only did the clickable buttons lose all their borders, making them harder to eye-track, but all those native Controls? Lost their legacy theming support. Changing the background color no longer applies in the new version, it remains white.

And that's unlikely developer's own work. I assume the SDK adheres to newer guidelines itself.
I don't think they are clear they did not? In fact, they are clear that they did publish their key, because they mention depublishing it to test their hypothesis.

The part they say they didn't opt into was that Proton (or any specific email client) would use the key by default.

Ask HN: Pivoting made the traction go away
Hey all,

I need some suggestions on my project and it's messaging.

I thought of building a simple communication template organizer. This idea got a lot of signups.

But recently, before launching, I thought of pivoting the idea a bit. I made it into an AI copilot that learns from conversations and generates replies.

Now this is getting fewer signups. Which is counterintuitive for me.

In my perspective, an AI copilot does everything that a template organizer could do, and even more.

What could be the reason?

BTW - Here's the project link http://cheatsheet.to

You triggered a memory from when I bought Avatar on blu-ray.

PC at the time had a blu-ray drive. Booted up Windows. Opened up one of the few dedicated software options I was forced to buy for blu-ray support. Disc doesn’t work properly?? Check software’s support forum and the software hadn’t been updated with the most recent DRM.

I felt burned at that point. Pirate copies already existed but I couldn’t play my legally acquired copy. So yeah, +1 on fuck DRM.

Traffic in Human Bones— A ship from Hamburg arrived at Lossiemouth last week, laden with bones, the property of an agriculturalist of Morayshire, and intended for manure. The master of the vessel states that the bones were collected from the plains and marches of Leipsic (sic), and are part of the remains of the thousands who fell in the battles fought betwixt France and the Allies in October 1813

~ The Spectator (London, 7 November 1829) https://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/7th-november-1829/5/...

The bones being taken for use as fertilizer, for sugar from beet, the teeth "Waterloo Teeth" for false teeth for the living, etc were things that happened and were reported at the time . . .

There are academic papers on war fields where this is known to have happened and others where it is conjected to have occurred .. but proof of actual occurrence exists.
I have the original manuals describing how to rip using a radial arm saw. The blade is set at the level of your stomach and mere inches away from a spinning blade as you walk a sheet of plywood along it. There are so many ways for that situation to go wrong, and so few ways to make that situation safe. I have a beast of a radial arm saw, and I set it up to rip out of curiosity, and it would be insane to ever do it that way. It will cut your guts wide upon if you so much as slip.

And when that saw bites, and comes at you with enough force to be too much for you to react to. If parts of you are in the way, it'll rip right through them as it punches you in the jaw.

> ruby seems to embrace the monkeypatch

How recent were your experiences with this? In recent years I've seen monkeypatching treated as more of an antipattern. If you are on a project where people are doing that without very good reasons, that says more about the team than the language.
exactly what I was thinking. Why would these whistleblowers lie? Their lives are not just figuratively on the line through things like being burned by a fairly niche, even if lucrative, industry. More importantly, with the level of money involved and the general unhinged state a lot of executives embody, the fact a previous whistle-blower 'killed themselves' the risk of coming forward is astronomical.

Ultimately, who am I going to trust? someone who does their job for the fact they really love what they do and possess at least a handful of positive human qualities like passion, thirst for knowledge and a desire to improve the world - OR - do I trust some coke fueled over-paid nepobaby?

Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?
For every major sense but touch there's a major form of art.

For vision, our most dominant sense, there is literature, painting, sculpture and film.

For hearing there is music.

For smell there is perfumery.

For taste there are the culinary arts.

Touch seems like the odd one out - it's playing second fiddle to taste in food, and to appearance in sculpture and clothing. You only very rarely find some artwork where the main draw is the tactile experience. Why is this?

Visa holders wouldn't be the first to go. Not by a long shot.

1) They come from places that have much lower pay for software engineers. Seriously, people forget just how much more American tech companies pay their devs than just about anywhere else. That means that you can wave a smaller pay package in front of them and they'll be more likely to take it. Replacements from local labor markets are more likely to know what they're actually worth.

2) If they aren't making you 100% happy and they're at-will employees, you can hang their entire lives over their heads. Do you want to have to pack up everything in a few weeks and move back to your home country in shame after your families sacrificed so much to get you here? No?

I think this plays a huge part as well. My wife and I were watching an episode of the US cop show “The Rookie” and they casually discussed paying a ticket for driving SEVENTY MILES OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. I went and checked and in LA the cost is about $500. This blew my mind.

In Australia, you are very at risk for jail for going over anything above 40km/h which is about 25mph. It’s considered reckless/dangerous driving. Your license would also be suspended for six months. I think we have excessive fines but the US seems to go in the opposite direction.

Uh... What makes this better than just installing something like the Stylus extension and learning some CSS? For the price (and even a subscription?) it just seems ridiculous and just spending some time with perusing MDN docs and/or an LLM. We may not even know that in the future that this extension will be properly maintained for a long time, making the settings difficult to migrate. Will this export to CSS?

Even if this is aimed towards non-technical users, in the first place most laypeople looking to change websites' looks will either (a) use Arc Boosts most likely, (b) learn some CSS eventually since they will most likely be design-oriented people, or (c) use Stylus if they have heard of it and just use the preexisting styles made by the community on popular websites that a majority of people spend time on (which already have good styles)...

[end devil's advocate]

The UI of the extension looks nice though but it just seems kind of ridiculous with the pricing.
>SpaceX employees take the Musk fundraising and spend it well. They have systems in place to minimize his technical interference.

Sounds like nonsense used to wave away his success with SpaceX.

If you look at his interviews, it seems like he is most involved in SpaceX of all his ventures. He can explain deep technical details of the product whereas this is less true for Tesla and has been proven many times that he cannot do the same for Twitter.
