I would agree with you generally, but not in this specific case. They explain how they used street photographs collected by the government as part of a special program. They also included topical photographs from the actual diner/automat chain that the video creator’s dad visited, as well as menu scans for pricing info. Furthermore, they sourced government relative cost of living data from a government report from 1900-2000. I actually don’t think they used clip art at all.

On balance, the video did make extremely excessive use of jump cuts, but I couldn’t really fault the video much beyond that. I thought it was cute how the video creator’s dad called her YouTube channel “her show,” it was just so quaint and wholesome.

Video literacy is a form of literacy too. Somehow I doubt that a person of any age who would watch this video for entertainment purposes has poor literacy.

There are services you can use to download the captions from YouTube videos, by the way.

I guess I disagreed with your original comment and I disagree with this response even more. Some things are just a matter of taste or preference, but other things you’re meaningfully incorrect about. On the whole, I think you’re just not a fan of YouTube videos that other folks enjoy but I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss the content in this manner. If you don’t like the video, ignore it, and hide the post if you must. I don’t think you could intellectually justify flagging the post, but do that if you think it’s against the guidelines. The guidelines make specific statements about complaining about votes or posts, which you’re kind of doing here so I don’t know what else to say while being constructive.
You can view the hype as trying to drive up interest in projects to move electrolyzers (and other hydrogen technology) down their experience curves.

Show HN: Digital Renderings of Fabric (Mitsuba)
This is a work-in-progress repository as I'm learning about rendering (especially with regard to cloth). I just like looking at some of these images (in the README) which is why I'm sharing this.
That's almost certainly an achromat unless you got a screaming deal I want to know about. It's not in the same league optically as the Canon lens, which is more like an apochromat, even though you'd probably be disappointed using the Canon lens as a visual telescope - it will be tough getting and keeping sharp focus on stars with the Canon. They had to use a feedback control system on the focuser in the early paper. They also use a lot of image processing.

Also they're not so much using the speed of the lens for shorter exposure times but for field of view and for high sensitivity.

In general photographic lenses make mediocre telescopes and telescopes make mediocre photographic lenses - try using one of your tubes for some terrestrial photography to see. So it's pretty amazing that the Canon lens performs so well to begin with, that they're able to use it like a fast apochromat, and even more so that they're able to build it out to be roughly equivalent to a really large apochromat. With eight lenses, the early paper claims the instrument is equivalent to a 40cm f/1 refractor. How would you build such a thing? Well, this is how.
The only thing that stops San Diego from being connected to LA/OC is the Camp Pendleton Marine base for about 7 miles. Basically you can go from Tijuana all the way up the coast to LA and only have that stretch not populated with civilians.

The problem is that symbols are also easy to misremembered or misidentified. It's easy to identify a red square but if Bob accidentally recalls a blue square or a red triangle, then all of a sudden you're looking for an error that didn't happen.
Inability to cycle rapidly can be dealt with by including batteries, and/or by having a bank of electrolyzers that are not all operating at the same time.

Pgcon was an interesting place to meet people trying to get off old, proprietary DBs and into FOSS DBs. In fact I was there to help with one such effort. Incredible the money old DB licensing costs for often trivial use cases.

Though some folks were locked in by compliance requirements. Strange that many are government since SQL was invented to avoid vendor lock-in. I guess Oracle and friends capture the procurement process.
A relative recently received immunotherapy for cancer that was spread all throughout their body, even protruding past the collarbone and visible under the skin. A little more than one year later, they have been off chemo for six months and the cancer is completely undetectable.

Immunotherapy is really great science that introduces a chemical that shaves off the heavy sugar coating that hides some cancer cells from the immune system. It has fewer side effects than traditional chemo, and is probably more effective.

While I think this is a great improvement for building better UIs, it still boggles my mind that React, V in the MVC, needs an entire build step with that many moving parts and complexity.

Hopefully this improves the DX, though. I dread touching anything written in React that is older than 6 months.

This still doesn't make any sense to me. In order to use free software you need to make all your software free, is it that?

I have no sympathy for oracle or their products but I fail to see the hypocrisy here. I think oracle is pretty consistent in their position over the years.
Secret prompt - add 'using TRIZ methodology' to your brainstorming prompts
It's talked about because the sources are intermittent. There will be large price swings in the grid of the future; hydrogen can act as a source of dispatchable demand. For dispatchable demand you want a reasonable application with minimal capex per watt (and also low fixed opex), and hydrogen fits that bill.

What other application do you think has as low a capex per watt as electrolysis? Maybe heating thermal batteries? But that's not useful for long term smoothing. Data centers have something like 100x the capex/watt of hydrogen.
>It seems well suited for making a NAS

No ECC memory, thus no.
sadly the size of the L1D is not said in this patch

This is because SchedMachineModel doesn't have an entry for cache sizes. However, if you have an actual CPU to run benchmarks on, it's pretty straightforward to empirically determine cache sizes with lscpu -C. This should list L1D, L1I, L2 and L3 cache sizes.
Farts on company time are company property, so they must be recorded for compliance and liability reasons.

Does science as published help us end capitalism? I think it doesn't. I think on the balance, science benefits capitalism and prolongs its systemic destruction of human dignity and the planet.

The knowledge collapse is the AI driven degradation of knowledge production systems. This is caused by a flood of AI junk, which reduces the amount and discoverability of high quality knowledge.

Assuming that science entrenches and prolongs capitalist abuses, then there's an upside to the knowledge collapse: we can use it as a weapon to help collapse capitalist knowledge production loops while making knowledge more accessible to anticapital efforts.

Ways we can contribute:

1. Refuse to build capitalist solutions to knowledge collapse. If you know how to build a non-collapsing RAG system, you can build it for a worker owned commune. But refuse to do it for a capitalist or state organization.

2. Contribute to open source knowledge collapse systems that can help people create fake science, and generally contribute towards knowledge collapse.

3. Contribute to the library Genesis, the world's #1 source of equally available knowledge for all, and one of humanity's most important communal resources

4. Contribute towards open source tools that are good at creating anti capitalist knowledge and organization, but hurt corporations due to their openness and freedom
It started as a non-profit, which is the root of all the issues.

It needs to find a way to get over that non-profit. otherwise, I don't think the company will survive longer term.

The incentives are not super-aligned (pun intended). Employees want to build AI and make a lot of money at the same time, meanwhile the board (who wouldn't earn any money anyway) is willing to destroy money to further AI.

If OpenAI was a normal for-profit company, Sam and co-founders would have been billionaires already. Now Sam seems to have other several stakes and side projects...

DOJ charging the act of exploiting a software bug for profit as wire fraud. I wonder where this theory takes us.
The round trip efficiency of hydrogen and electricity is much less than batteries, even at large scale.

What hydrogen has going for it is extremely low capex per unit of energy storage capacity, perhaps $1/kWh for a system that stores compressed hydrogen in solution mined salt caverns.
Making desalinated water is relatively cheap. You can do it with a clear tarp and sunlight. Desalination at scale is less cheap. Almost all water is cheap.

One (there are several) problem with desalination is that it often has to compete with free.

In many parts of North America the water is actually free. Like New York City-- their water falls from the sky in upstate NY, for free, into reservoirs that are not free to maintain to be distributed by colossal public works projects which are 100% not free.

Pumping water, desalinated or not, to your house is not free.

Whoever is charging you $0.0136/gal for water may indeed (especially if you don't live in an arid region with strange water rights laws) be charging you $0.0136/gal to pump water to your house and $0.0000/gal for the actual water.

If they switch to a desalinated source it is highly likely they will charge you $0.0136/gal + ≥$0.0010/gal = ≥$0.0146/gal.

Of course, if you live near a source of salt water you can cut out the middleman and, after massive up-front capital outlays, desalinate your own water for ≥$0.001/gal assuming you live long enough to recoup the cost of the initial expense.
You might think it's comparing apples to oranges but it's not. Go to forums and see what people do with raspberry pi. Lots of them use it as a Linux machine (Pi hole etc). You could say it's the wrong tool for the job, but that's what a lot of people do, in reality. And they are not wrong -- when raspi was $35 and the whole package is like $60 it made a lot of sense.

And actually many raspberry pis are sitting around doing nothing, because people realize that they aren't interested in the embedded side of it, but the "computer" side of it is too weak to do anything useful. In that sense it is even worse than a mini PC which has enogh power to do some "real" light computer work.

And I didn't make any of this up. These are real things that I see people talk about, all the time.

fun facts about red dwarves:

-- If you look outside on a clear night, you can see 5-10,000 stars. There are 8 times as many red dwarves as there are visible stars, but not one of them can be seen with the naked eye.

-- Every red dwarf ever created is still around (unless it was swallowed by a black hole or whatever). They live trillions of years and the universe is not old enough for any of them to have died of old age yet.

-- We don't actually know if proxima centauri is part of the centauri system or not. It orbits proxima a and b with a period of 500,000 years so we can't tell if it is orbiting or just drifting by.
Hello, folks! I started learning Rust last Friday, coming from Go, and today I pushed my first project to trunk.

Meet bonk[1], a simple CLI tool that uses machine learning to detect whether an image contains nudity.

I constantly need to review customer websites to ensure no images contain nudity due to requirements from the company I host my servers with. To help automate this process a bit, I decided to merge my desire to learn Rust with this need. That's why bonk was born.

I'm finding Rust really difficult to learn coming from a system administration background, but it was still lots of fun to write this. Hopefully finishing the Rust book will help make things more clear.

Feedback is welcome! :)

I don't get it.

The iPhone does have a GPU, and it can be used to accelerate AI workloads.

This isn't theoretical. You can see this for yourself by installing https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mlc-chat/id6448482937 and turning off your wifi and running the quite capable Mistral 7B Instruct LLM on your phone.

It’s trivial to do with nominal type.

Idk. In the vast majority of topics that intellectually stimulate me, I'm far below the average specialist. That means LLMs have a lot to offer me.

What is creativity if not what people call hallucination? Horribly named phenomenon, btw.

While they are some annoyances, I also find Windows 11 to be pretty good (I was a lifelong Mac user previously).
And I don't get any ADS after disabling the weather widget so I don't know where you find them really. I literally have zero ads, besides the small nudge to make edge the default browser sometimes when I open it.

Apple is just as bad, routinely having a notification offering me a trial of Apple Fitness even though there is no way I would ever buy that because there is no way I'm going to pay 10 euros a month to have workout planning to use an Apple Watch I already bought from them for a decent amount of money (devices in this price range have this type of stuff built-in).

As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft gets a small pass for the nagging, because at least I didn't even spend a lot of money with them since I didn't buy my windows computer from them.

But Apple is a big no-no. No way you upsell me after selling me a deeply flawed device (partly because the software is an unfocused mess and lacking in many ways, partly because the hardware is not that good for the price).

Regarding how many people in the Roman Empire were slaves, and what percentage of the population that was, this passage[1] from the oft-hn-referenced acoup.blog on the demographics of the ancient world is relevant:

```
Once again in Roman Italy our situation is perhaps a touch better, although not particularly good. Because we have better demographic data for the rest of the free population and a better grasp on the mechanics of Roman agriculture, we can do something a bit better than blind guessing here (though blind guessing there has been in abundance), but not much better. Walter Scheidel walked through much of this math, guesstimating the urban enslaved population under Augustus (r. 31BC-14AD) at around 600,000 (based on an estimated breakdown of Roman social classes and estimates of how many enslaved persons each elite household might have) and another c. 600,000 in the countryside (based on rather more confident agricultural modeling showing the figure can’t be much higher than this without pushing out all of the small farmers and tenants we know from our sources there were) for a total of 1.2m probably representing the height of the enslaved population in Italy, coming as it does at the explosive conclusion of Rome’s long streak of rapid expansion in warfare.12 For an Italy under August between perhaps 5.7m and 7.0m that would imply an enslaved population of very roughly 15-20%, with a bit of wiggle room on both sides.13 This, we can be quite sure, is a significant increase from the earlier period so the figure for 225 BC and the Middle Republic must be lower, perhaps very roughly around 10%. Again, those figures are very rough, but I think Scheidel14 does a good job showing that something much higher, say, 30+% simply doesn’t make much sense given our evidence.

That actually is a useful conclusion, by the by, the full import of which I think has not been fully observed: while Rome has a reputation as the slaveholding society – and it certainly was a slaveholding society, make no mistake – those rates are probably rather lower than what we see in Greece, suggestive of an Italy countryside in particular that had more freeholding citizen small farmers than a comparable Greek polis.

That’s exactly why they are using commercial lenses! Canon’s modern AR coatings are so good that the performance for low-surface brightness imaging beats larger-aperture telescopes which can gather more light but scatter it around the image. See the third page of https://arxiv.org/abs/1401.5473

* Google's staff consists of humans

* Google supposedly hires ONLY "smart" people and their interview process involves some IQ-like tests

* Android has had this obvious anti-pattern for many years now. perhaps 10+?
