Show HN: Ritt – Tag-centric file manager
Hello HN! I am very excited to introduce Ritt, the tag-centric file manager. Tags are excellent for managing images, videos and documents, yet most file managers implement tagging functionalities as an afterthought. Not so with Ritt.

Ritt is an acronym for Representation of Independent Tag Trees. As the name suggests, tags are front and center in Ritt. Ritt is designed to allow for fast and efficient batch tagging of files (and folders). Drill down to your desired files by intersecting and/or excluding tags.

Other features include:
- Sync tags across machines
- Advanced search by combining tags using logical operations
- Create links and backlinks between local files and folders
- Auto Tag image files with AI
- Powerful built-in previewer, hover over video to scrub
- Create tasks within folders

If you have any comments or suggestions for new features, please do not hesitate to let me know!
Hopefully they can sue Amazon next.
Project management software is a solution, not a problem. An example of a problem could be that freelancers are forgetting things, or don't have time to get their work done, or have trouble finding clients, etc

> I think to be clear, brute force generally means an iterative search of a solution space.

Sure, but not an exhaustive one - you stop when you get a solution[1]. Brute force does not require an exhaustive search in order to be called brute-force.

GP was using the argument that because it is not exhaustive, it cannot be brute-force. That's the wrong argument. Brute-force doesn't have to be exhaustive to be brute-force.

[1] Or a good enough solution.
Then you’re going to have to undo the destruction of journalism, local entertainment, and a lot of other industries that have been eliminated or cut down by tech. People are trying to make money via their blogs because the journalism job they would have gotten a generation ago doesn’t exist anymore.

They did test for and find hypomethylation.

It’s mentioned in the article here:
> How had this happened? The team discovered that the DNA in the grandfather mouse’s sperm had changed shape. … The gene for this olfactory receptor had been demethylated (chemically tagged), …

As well as in the abstract of the linked study:

> Bisulfite sequencing of sperm DNA from conditioned F0 males and F1 naive offspring revealed CpG hypomethylation in the Olfr151 gene.

Biden is viewed unfavorably by a majority of Americans (as is Trump). As recently as 2008 both major party presidential candidates had net favorable ratings from the country.[0]

That’s not even getting into that the claim of Biden as “center right” is based on Overton window shifting. Biden repudiated many of his earlier more centrist positions on DEI (e.g. his anti-school busing activism in the 70s), immigration, abortion, etc to win the nomination. Compare Biden’s platform and positions to the Obama 2008 campaign platform and can you really see it as a “rightward” shift?

Very American to believe that small communities can solve this problem and to not even expect parliament to do anything.

Parliament not doing anything is obviously a self-fulfilling prophecy, and small, local solutions to a tragedy of the commons.. I don't believe it'll work.
I'm confused. You both said the battery is outside the laptop it came in (suggesting a removable battery?) but also that it's internal.

If it's external (ie it can be detached from the laptop and the charging prongs are accessible), check out those adapters. They have their own charging circuit that mimics what the motherboard would do. It's just a question of whether they made one for your specific battery.
> privacy page will be up soon

Well it has been almost 24h now, and it is still not up.
I think it is concerning that you did not put up a simple "we immediately delete the images you upload and we do not store any data about you, nor do we track you using cookies or share data with third parties".

Since you do not have a privacy policy, I would expect that you do not do any of these things. So why not write this?
It may also make it actually easier for them to "be able to do that too." Being able to fake it may allow many to make it that otherwise would not have simply due to not having the right connections or the right "look."
I didn't get the change to customize the default and built-in components from Clerk. So, it's hard for me to share any experience. But, I know you can do little customization using https://clerk.com/docs/components/customization/overview and play with CSS and Tailwind CSS. Maybe, for complex customization, it's preferable to not use the pre-built components and build it yourself.

Currently, I just feel the default UI from Clerk works good with Shadcn UI, both works great together. Definitively not perfect but do a great to job for a solo developer or for a small team.

And, I mostly using for advanced authentication features like user impersonation, multi-tenancy, roles & permission.
Exactly this. My response is usually just asking if they believe in compounding interest. It's the same concept, but with those farther up the curve justifying themselves.
Yeah - this is my point precisely.

X-rays are mentioned 28 times in the Wikipedia link about CRTs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

Although X-rays are not used to draw the image, they are generated as an unwanted side effect. The phosphorescent screen emits X-rays when struck by the electron beam. To protect the user, the glass must be a special kind of glass to absorb those X-rays, and the accelerator voltage has to be set not too high.
Agreed - most people don't even realize that what they get from Google is not what other people get from Google.

We're talking about influencers here. Not artists.
Absolutely correct. I wonder what the % of monetized channels (which only starts at 500 subs) make a sizeable amount of money, say more than $1k a month.
The Accidental Poison That Founded the Modern FDA (2018)
While this comment is correct, the OP is specifically referring to creators, not all vocations. This comment doesn't apply. Influencers could easily work at McDonald's but they are choosing to remain online because they presumably enjoy the act of creation.
But is that "willingness to do for a low price" some kind of inherent property of artists as a group of people, or does it come from somewhere else? (The "or" here is not necessarily XOR.)

What if it all comes down to supply and demand? Maybe the supply of artists is much greater than the demand for art, while for tech products it is reversed?
RISC-V is disrupting ARM's low end, the pace it's occupied safely for decades. As RISC-V matures, it will move upstream along the same path that ARM did. The difference is that it will be easier to move because the transition to ARM is demonstrating that companies don't need to be locked to a particular ISA.
Now that you mention it, I don't remember any Biblical support for animals not being conscious. Humans being special, yes - animals being unconscious automata, no. A quick Google search suggests the opposite conclusion can very easily be drawn, although I see no reason to elaborate on those arguments here.

While I entirely agree in spirit and in context, and I get the point too, the historical specifics as clarified by GPT were:

During the period from 2000 to 2013, the S&P 500 did experience significant drops, particularly during the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s and the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The largest drawdowns in this period were:

1. *Dot-com Bubble (2000-2002)*: The S&P 500 fell significantly after the peak in March 2000, dropping about 49% until it bottomed out in October 2002.

2. *Global Financial Crisis (2007-2009)*: The index again suffered a major drop, losing approximately 57% of its value from its peak in October 2007 to its low in March 2009.

However, these drawdowns did not last continuously for 13 years, nor did they result in a cumulative drawdown of 60% sustained over that entire period. The S&P 500 recovered from these lows and even reached new highs within the timeframe specified.

YouTube channels contain some of the most valuable content on the internet, especially tutorials or explanatory videos. I’ve been able to fix household appliances and work on my car because of content of these creators. While it seems a tough career, I’m glad to see some people are making it work and wish the others well.
It's difficult. Now I'm old in IT terms (48) I try to act in a mentor role for young developers I come in contact with. I have discussed their career progression and helped them apply for jobs etc. I don't feel this has ever been to the detriment of the company/project we've been working on at the time. Most of my "mentorship" involved telling the technical people not to focus on their technical skills and build other skills that they don't think are relevant, e.g. written and oral communication, English language (where not UK/US national), being dependable/reliable, not over promising and taking time to get things as right as possible 1st time (not rushing). I also look to the skills from ancient times, like those listed in the book Code Complete, and the lessons of mythical man month etc.

I was naturally quite a shy and reserved engineer and if asked to do something more senior or non technical I would avoid it want to continue coding. People who I've met later have encouraged me to go for it a bit more and accept responsibility or roles where I will have to learn on the job. I am not really coding nowadays but am involved in architecting some complex cloud systems. It has been a good progression, but work is stressful at times, mainly due to external factors.

I would not insist on a mentor, you should be ready for one, when one comes along, be open to it and try to talk to people at all levels and across different companies as well as the one you're at.
The article has a good setup for it's premise.

a new, cutting-edge use case for enterprise AI: trying to prevent call center workers from “losing it” by showing them video montages of their family set to their favorite pop music after they have been barraged with angry callers

First Horizon Bank was able to replace many of its call center workers with an IVR (interactive voice response) system, to allows its call volume to balloon without hiring more of them.

The problem is, everybody absolutely hates IVR. It’s one of the most reviled forms of automation in existence, and this is why so many customers are livid by the time they reach the beleaguered call center workers who remain on hand.
I'm using chatGPT to Google something for around a year (or whenever bing browsing became available), and I'm yet to set a single hallucination based on web search results. May be Google is just not very good at this.
There's also, depending on what they are influencing, a lot of in-kind payment like free travel / electronics / makeup / clothing or whatever they are promoting/"reviewing".

Most of the stats I've seen is that influencing is actually about 75% female, partially because the ad metrics show women respond to it more strongly. So its unfortunate they mostly highlighted men in the article.

One part of the drivel - he says don't let the government inhibit the invisible hand of the market that Adam Smith discusses in The Wealth of Nations. But in The Wealth of Nations, the invisible hand is the hand of the government inhibiting free trade between nations.
I'm guessing they hate it because the main character shifts in the manga vs anime from a middle aged widower to an (at the start of the series) annoyingly idealistic teenage girl. Although as the anime progresses, it doesn't focus nearly as much on her, shifting to one of her coworkers...

Personally, her aggravating her coworkers is hilarious, and if you've ever had a late-teens/early 20's intern/employee in your workplace, you've been there, and perhaps you remember being like her - very pure and simple in your ideology and worldview.

People who don't stick it out more than a couple of episodes don't get to see her character development and its message to both young idealistic folks who grow, and their cynical adult coworkers who help them achieve that growth.

It's a wonderful 'soft' scifi anime with good production values and a storyline that avoids the typical anime bullshit ("enemy bad, us good...but....SURPRISE, enemy not bad!", "teenager drama involving kids who are the only ones who can save the planet/japan from aliens", and "deep" plots that are mostly just the writers creating stuff that doesn't make sense and never explaining it, with random plot twists)
I think you missed the parent's point. For starters, "making cool stuff" and "holding a steady but boring job" are not mutually exclusive.

Perhaps more importantly, being a successful "influencer" seems to require accepting and internalizing a startling amount of personal and societal dishonesty. From buying your views/ranking to shilling products that you would never use, or are even actively harmful. (Like VPNs that are literally anything but private.)
I don't classify groups like the United Way as activist organization - they are an organization that are broadly focused on making things better, rather than single focus organization, which have to pivot (or move goal posts) once they reach the ends of their goals.
We're a lot closer to the limits of copper than I realized. Apparently motherboard designers have to make the length of clock/data traces for DDR5 memory as close to equal as possible, otherwise the entire bus just doesn't work right (maybe this isn't news to other folks).
You are absolutely right, I forgot one of the most important things piled into -ffast-math!
I would suspect its one of those things like driving for Uber where the majority of people don't check the math on their true profit per hour, so there is a lot of churn.. but the truly successful are the ones with rigor in their process.
China is still a developing nation. China is winning at the junior economic Olympics. The same way all the major 1st world economies dominated it when they were developing.

Come back and waive your victory banner when China has a $60k GDP per capita and has the current growth trends it does. It needs to increase its GDP 500% before that happens though...

Until possession and distribution of such apps becomes a crime in itself.

That's the only way to enforce it and there is history for it in cryptography export laws and anti-circumvention laws.
This model is truly amazing. I hope they give more technical details soon.
Many social media platforms exacerbate and amplify some of the worst qualities of humans. Bullying is taken to an extreme, people are often engaging with others in bad faith, and other times you're not even engaging with real people at all.

People are much more likely to say mean things to another when they're behind a keyboard and talking to a screen name or avatar. And real life conversations are much harder to manipulate as compared to social media. Add to that that these platforms monetize by keeping your attention, so there is an addictive component to them. Quitting social media is often very hard, psychologically.

You're correct that many of the problems with social media are not unique to the technology, but like a lot of technology it often times makes existing problems worse. There are strong correlations between certain kinds of social media content and the development of eating disorders and self harm, especially among young people. And we have the ability to start mitigating those problems today, but "fixing" human behavior is going to take a little longer.
People identifying as rationalists are also often misguided. It’s a common trope among programmers who think they’re smart and think their intelligence leads to them being logical and unbiased.

I hate to break it to you but if you think you’re smart most likely you are more biased than normal.
I'm the first to argue that Go is "most reasonable" all around.

Even things which are technically wrong and _could_ have been done differently are still reasonable.

First and foremost because sometimes the alternatives would have meant breaking backwards compatibility (or at the very least forcing people to hassle with migrating code with "editions", which are probably better left for more impacting problems than "what if a new OS comes around")

That said, I think it's important to call out design mistakes when one sees them (as long as one engages constructively with them instead of just throwing a random "Go is magic/sucks/etc" without putting things into context, like how do other practical languages fare on all the metrics combined)
>Also it sounds extremely illusory that the people exchanging CSAM wouldn't simply switch to private services knowing their messages on public services are scanned.

The justification is obviously a lie anyway. If CSAM were such a huge concern, you wouldn't have member states where distributing CSAM is about as severe of a crime as theft, which is the case in Germany.

Surely the first step would be to have actual significant criminal charges for these crimes in all member states.
I agree? I didn't know close biological relation was a prerequisite for a good analogy, but I'll gladly oblige: vampire squid, velvet ant, slipper lobster, naked ape.
It must be a extremely narrow definition of "content-creator". There is no way 13% of TikTok video uploaders are making more than $100, let alone $100k.
True, I wish there was more information and data on this across networks like that (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, etc). I makes me wonder if this information is intentionally withheld so those who want to make money as a content creator don't fully understand how rare it is to make any money on them.
That doesn't make sense. There are 2 versions of chatcontrol:

1. Voluntary chatcontrol (i.e. temporary derogation of the ePrivacy directive)

2. Mandatory chatcontrol (i.e. services must scan private communication once a detection order is issued)

The first version of chatcontrol is currently in effect, but it will expire in a few years. It was introduced, because social media (like facebook) was already scanning private communication to find CSAM and then someone pointed out that this is illegal in the EU and thus the ePrivacy directive was sabotaged to allow the scanning of private communication.

Facebook wanted to have a legal basis for the scanning of private communication. This does not hurt non-EU social networks, it helps them.
>> We are governed by low calibre people that should already be in retirement.

>> Core of the problem is that talented people no longer go into governance in the West, it’s now low-status career.

>> Until we have high-calibre, ambitious and talented people go into politics again, we will continue this muddling decline.

I very much resonate with this. Also, with concerns that the opposite might just be as bad: I could name en European, western country of several dozen million people governed by (downright) a career, borderline pyscho narcisist career politician. How do we keep -that- from happening?
Plenty of people grow up wanting to be a cook though. Usually if you take the “low-status” element of a job away and give people autonomy, the shitty jobs become desirable to someone. Hell, I know kids who want to be garbagemen because hanging off the back of the truck seems fun.
This is just a marketing brochure...

Not to be "old man yells at sky" but a lot of these new cloud-based/cloud-focused architectures seem to be geared toward highly specialized needs that 99.9% of businesses aren't going to need. However they do one important thing - they over-use resources that line the pockets of MS, Amazon, Google, Data Bricks, etc. A Data Lakehouse is fine but what benefit does it give you over a much more simple solution of ETL/ELTing the data in batches (weekly, daily, hourly, etc) and letting it sit in some kind of DB.

They say the Data Lakehouse needs all this metadata storage, API access layers, etc. Seems like an overly complex system for anything but large real-time systems that need to replicate a DB but due to data volume and throughput, are unable to. Perhaps you also aren't just driving traditional reporting (dashboards, etc).

I'm happy to use this new technology to make more money for myself as a specialist, and effectively be in on the scam, but from an optimal solution pov they suck.
