I added ErsatzTV to my Plex setup about a month ago and we honestly love it so much. I've got 2 sitcom channels, British panel shows, Taskmaster, all Star Trek all the time, British sitcoms, cartoons, and a few others.

Its really nice to just sit down and watch "whatever is on" (even though I could switch over to the main library and watch any episode I want).

Sometimes I just want a 0-effort/0-decision background noise while I work on something else or browse on my phone.
It solves the problem of having to give the company enough information for them to steal your identity in order to do business with them. That isn't a power companies should have over you, and those who do should be extremely heavily regulated to ensure their data protection is top level quality.

This way it isn't a big deal if small businesses leak data, since they don't have the important parts, so they don't need to be regulated that hard.
> For years, analysts have gone on channels like CNBC calling Bitcoin “digital gold”, and many everyday crypto investors truly believe that.

This has always been silly. You can stick gold in a basement and come back 200 years later to find it completely intact. Redeeming bitcoin depends not only on a functioning software ecosystem (imagine trying to run today's software 200 years from now) but also on the mining community continuing to operate forever.

Bitcoin's primary appeal has always been unregulated, online exchange of value.
I like the constraints these models impose for some applications, but I don't see them as fundamentally revolutionizing the application development space. You are still ultimately responsible for persisting every last byte of state that these virtual actors embody. Much of this looks like "How to Draw an Owl" [0] to me.

You could tie your own hands in approximately same way in a typical monolithic codebase by spinning out some Actor/Grain base types and enforcing a similar execution model around their implementations.

Nope, I just have better things in life than to be pissed off in Internet when people using English grammar rules accordingly.

We both made it quite clear where we stand, so there is hardly any value pointing out uses of C/C++ expression by other key WG14 and WG21 members, papers or products.
I don't normally comment, but I think I just had a meltdown. I'm just in disbelief that this can work and a judge will allow it.
Yep. Every couple of years "Bitcoin will perish" and then doesn't.
Short answer is no, because there is no 'standardized' use case.

One thing is sure - that current commonly used benchmarks are mostly polluted and worthless. So you have to go to niche ones.

For example the one I check for coding is Aider LLM leaderboard [1].

We maintain Kagi LLM Benchmarking Project [2] optimized for the use case of using LLMs in search.

We, the Headlamp project, don't make any claims about being state-of-the-art as that's hard to define. But we do think Headlamp ranks high among having the best user experience and believe the fact that we're a 100% open-source project is a huge plus compared to some other projects in the space.

I think one area that we are rather different than other projects is that Headlamp is not only focused on end-users but also for teams looking to build their own Kubernetes UX by leveraging the Headlamp plugin system. Our thinking is that this will foster broader community participation and make Headlamp the most viable project in the space.

If you find that there is anything missing please file an issue and we'll consider it: https://github.com/headlamp-k8s/headlamp/issues/new

So neat! I've been thinking of something similar to this where content creators would join their content to form channels in the original sense of the word and users would browse much like how they would on a normal TV
I don't understand the difference between forced arbitration and sharia law. I don't think the courts do, either, seeing as they've ordered raped/stalked women and labor-trafficked children into "spiritual arbitration" through the Church of Scientology.

In a future so near as to have happened a few years ago, monopolies and near-monopolies can force people who use their services to submit to arbitrary private legal codes and systems of judgement. It's almost like giving up your citizenship. It's like how the US government doesn't have to follow the law in Guantanamo, except Guantanamo is Walgreens, or Amazon.

edit: I just had a 10-second nightmare where giving Walgreens my phone number and hitting "I accept" on the screen at the checkout, in order to get the sale price, somehow prevents me from suing my doctor for malpractice after a horrible medical accident. I thought I was just selling my privacy, but I was actually selling my rights as a US citizen.
this is phenomenal, i love it, it genuinely feels like flipping TV channels. really excellent work!

This is all publicly available information but:

Advertise prices are not the actual prices that people are actually paying.

RealPage doesn’t just show the prices of other apartments around you. It gives a recommendation for what you should price your listings. The heart of the price fixing claim here is that this price is higher than landlords would select on their own.
What does that have to do with the definition of Conservatism as political thought?
Also, financial. Interest rates play a huge part in both the supply and demand for housing.
Trump is both partisan and biased and doesn't claim to be neutral. Of course he was trashing things to do with his political opponents (he was running against DeSantis in the primary at the time).
I think an important piece of context here is that this is not useful for non-ser/de patterns in Python: if all you have is pure Python types that don't need to cross serialization boundaries, then you can do all of this in pure Python (and refine it with Python's very mature type annotations).

In practice, however, Pydantic is one of the most popular packages/frameworks in Python because people do in fact need this kind of complexity. In particular, it makes wrangling complicated object hierarchies that come from REST APIs much easier/error prone.
Someone has been independently "discovering" this every fortnight since I first heard the word Bitcoin. The answer will always always be, read the bitcoin whitepaper please... This is explicitly discussed.

What RISC-V needs to take off, IMO, is laptop/workstation solutions. I believe what has given ARM a huge leg up in terms of development mindpower is Apple's M1. Ideally for RISC-V, there'd be an apple product with it inside. Barring that, you are basically asking for new software for RISC-V to be developed on non-risc-v devices. That can work, but I think it really slows down adoption.

I was visiting my 75-year-old father who's struggling with memory issues last week. He has an awful time working his TV - he has Roku, but he can't figure out how to use it and if you show him, he'll end up forgetting. I was thinking this would be a great market for older folks who don't want or can't use "smart" TVs. Even YoutubeTV doesn't offer a way to "flip through" channels.

Understandably, since, in this case, surface area is more intuitively captured by our brains than volume.

Also because we are very small. The amount of water, from our perspective, makes it look like a water planet.
At least the lawmakers in both of our legislative bodies are democratically elected, unlike the UK which somehow still has hereditary positions in their government in the year 2024.
How do you square this opinion with countries like South Korea or Japan, two of which both have extremely low immigration and low fertility?

I think the, more obvious IMO, answer is that as a species we no longer have an optimistic vision of the future.

Income inequality is rising around the world and in certain elitist circles there are serious discussions about creating a neo-aristocracy/neo-feudalism. Where are the stories about bettering ourselves? Why does it feel like we have to fight the fights of our ancestors to demand the same rights that they bled for?

It's depressing and collectively I think the vast majority of us recognize this and feel powerless.

People want to fight climate change, but a handful of individuals are able to stop all progress? People want to usher in new civil rights, but now we have to continue to fight for the same rights previous peoples had? People want better welfare programs, but we have to fight to return to previous tax structures that enabled this decades ago?

How can you tell an optimistic vision of the future when people are actively fighting, and winning, against it?

Yes. I think what makes some people unhappy is the perceived inequality: you can do whatever you want with my contributions, but I can't do whatever I want with the software.

But there simply has to be control and restrictions over the use of software for it to be commercially viable (in almost every case).
1. If the ad selection is too good, people will fall into the uncanny valley. They have to make it terrible enough to maintain user confidence.

2, They may not have anything better to select from. Quickly start/stop the ads a few times and it will usually (but not always) give up on showing any ad at all, which suggests to me that the available ad pool at that point in time is being exhausted.

I’d like to see this.

If creators make money it should be from YouTube handouts from Premium and paid subscriptions and/or creators seeking funding directly outside YouTube.

Having less “professional” content (and less content in general) is a reasonable price to pay to break our dependence on adtech and the “attention economy”.

And, at the one-hour mark, this post got knocked out of the top 10 on HN's front page to the 106th spot on the 4th page, for no stated reason, which has happened before. (Perhaps it's HN's "flame war detector", idk; for me, that usually only knocks a post to Page 2). None of the comments are too negative about the piece. But in any case, this will likely get flagged by enough users, and I get it - people own a lot of this stuff. It's a major looming issue for the space though (Bitcoin dominates all other cryptos). It's another reason a project is in trouble: when you can't have tough and open conversations about it.
America being the country which runs the war on drugs? Where mandated speed limits came in back in the 1970s and remain in place?
The solution to a lot of those is to just have a goto show that you watch. Before netflix removed The Office, that is what I always did when wanting something to watch while eating a snack on the couch or to have noise on in the background. I'd just fire up netflix and resume whatever episode it was last one.

We ditched cable forever ago, but I do find that I miss just watching 15 minutes of some random show like I used to. I usually forget about it until I'm at someone's house or a doctors office and catch a snippet of some random car show or cooking show.

> I was thinking about a coworkers hearing aids

For info: I started wearing hearing aids later in life. Couldn't function without them and the occasional glance people give them is nothing compared with being thought stupid because you apparently haven't understood something (people seem much more likely to assume you are stupid rather than deaf).

Even though they are free ('socialised') medicine - UK NHS here - they are still functional blue tooth devices that can stream audio, etc, which is awesome.
It doesn't negate the legitimacy of the argument in any way. The issue takes time to manifest.

Your comment is essentially the same as shitting on climate change for the reason.
If AI has gotten to the point of doing nearly all science for humanity, we are probably close to, if not already at, a post-capitalist state. The implication being there's no real resource scarcity at that point.
> No, they don't. They are police officers, not lawyers.

How do you enforce laws that you don't know or understand?

Think about it. These guys mobilize themselves to use force to achieve their goal. How is step 0 of this whole process not "check if what we are about to do complies with the law"?

If they mobilize themselves to use force to achieve a goal through illegal and criminal means, they are not different than organized crime.
This is cool and really well done, I'm kinda blown away. Would love to hear from the creator on what inspired them and how they designed and made it retro yet also minimal and so smooth. It's been awhile since I saw something so well polished!

Imagine if it also included to an index channel like the old Cable TV Guide programming schedule screen, with the blue background and time slot cells. Some versions of this even had a PIP (Picture-in-Picture) sort of capability.

at least the car accidents is not very free. most people have to drive for most trips because any other mode of transportation is not really practical for the purpose, and our regulations reinforce this trend; it is the law of the land in most of America that builders must include oversized parking lots for free, which make it harder to get around by walking or public transport or bike. (And when I say oversized, I mean the general minimum amount of parking for stores, for example, is pretty much never filled up even on busy shopping periods like Black Friday.)

This is awesome! How are the videos being chosen? Without any monetization, I guess we shouldn't expect anything more than a loop of the same videos, right?
> If someone wants to speed or OD and die, that's their choice.

I'd recommend digging into this topic a little bit to find out that it's not as simple as that. It's not that these people partied too hard. Every overdose is a sad story that could have and should have been prevented.
I would be more interested to see natural death rates compared. Including homicide and drug overdose just mixes different groups and doesn’t give a good understanding of how possible is long life.

People who study China and authoritarians note that the end goal is not the same as capitalism. The goal is to always maintain party leadership and control. The CCP made a deal with the people, rapid growth in exchange for govt control. Now that many hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty, they are looking for what comes next, choice and a say in how they are governed. Unfortunately, this does not work for the CCP. Their greatest enemy is a political alternative to their leadership.

The primary end game is thus

- staying in power at all costs, economics matter little

- elimination of political alternatives, most notably Taiwan as ethnic Chinese with a democracy and great success

All else is secondary. Authoritarian regimes are always willing to harm their people and country for their own benefit.
But (most) Drugs, speeding and murder are still forbidden in the US (and carry larger penalties, especially the drugs and violent crimes than in other countries).
Never heard of the "learning zones" as a concept but from my own teaching experience after a while I was aware if I made my lecture too accessible and easy to follow through my students got overconfident and didn't fully engage with the problems I gave them as an assignment.

On the other hand if I deliberately left little things out to later test them, they became more engaged because they knew I only gave them the necessary tools but they had to work out the little things by themselves. The students were more on the edge and this resulted in better engagement overall.

It was fascinating to experiment with it because my expectations of hard/intermediate/easy problems were at times wildly off.

And surely, there are adaptations at play here, if one is used to discomfort in order to learn hopefully the danger zone gets smaller with time. Sometimes I feel - especially for younger folks coming fresh from high school - the zone between comfort and danger is pretty small as they got habituated on cramming which is essentially all danger zone.
> As Bitcoin becomes scarce to obtain, it's price will skyrocket

This kind of logic always reminds me of the Terra/LUNA fiasco. An economic model that works as long as nothing unexpected happens. For the price of bitcoin to skyrocket, you need a constant stream of new investors willing to buy bitcoin at these inflated prices. What if this just doesn't happen?
>Every entity I need to give an address to gets a unique, randomly-generated one. I figured this would let me spot the leaks.

I do the same, except I don't use a randomly generated address. Rather, I use something that identifies who it is. e.g., if I had a relationship with Tesla, the email address would be 'tesla@myemaildomain'.

What (if anything) is the advantage of using a randomly generated email address over the scheme I use?

N.B., I'm not dissing your strategy at all. I do exactly the same. I'm just curious about the "randomly generated" bit.
I'm only midway through it, but its hypothesis is that (a) we typically draw using preconceived symbols and (b) we can improve the accuracy of our drawing if we learn to ignore these symbols and focus on what we can literally see (ie., shapes and colours). I don't know how universal this perspective is, but as a beginner, I have found the approach to be helpful.
I don't believe that's actually true, I looked that up myself and it appears to be a mistaken calculation that many pop sci articles ran with.

I have so many subscriptions on youtube that the home recommendation is actually a quicker way to find something interesting if I have limited time, since the subscriptions are full of shorts and 'reruns' now where creators try to monetize old videos in new ways.

The only issue is that my youtube is the one on the main tv, so sometimes the suggestions get messed up when my kids watch. Youtube probably has a really confusing set of conflicting beliefs about who I am.
There is an (apocryphal) anecdote about the person next to Picasso at a corrida being amazed seing him sketch a bullfight in seconds, to which Picasso allegedly replied "Seconds? It took me my whole life to be able to draw this."

I think it was Franklin who is quoted to have said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

While I've always resonated personally with this quote and how it relates to what I consider a fundamental principle we should strive to achieve/maintain, I recall there being some debate about the 'etymology' of the quote itself.
I wish my YouTube recommendations were anywhere good enough to do this.
> People who worked at Twitter said it was bullshit

No, we have no idea from The Verge article whether the sources are even qualified to make such statements or if the statements are even true. In fact on the basis of the 99 percent speculative quote we can disregard the source quotes altogether. I'll say this, I work on far less significant software than X and we get DDOSed all the time.
