I transcribed between 3000 to 4000 of 10s-30s short videos, every day for almost 2 years for fun. A cheap desktop linux with second hand x-mining RTX 3060 and 3080Ti, connected over home network using basic Gradio and faster-whisper, so they can be exposed as public API and called from corporate network. Relatively easy and much cheaper compared to commercial offerings at the time. These GPUs are over powered for the task and every day only spent 1 to 2 hours of actual encoding, it's so quick, and it's using the biggest whisper model with audio preprocessing and VAD to improve success rate.

Don't they ? I have books printed in the last half of the 20th century where I'm starting to get worried about the yellowing of the pages (and the seemingly degrading structural integrity of the pages).

I've heard it was something about acidic paper (with it also being a plague of cheap printing, while being much less of an issue of expensive printing techniques).

We need to encourage our kids to repair stuff. It aids the environment (less e-waste) and teaches them a valuable trade. I know that's it's typically cheaper to replace than repair, but to me that's a market failure.
I'd posit that the PS5 and Xbox Series X are more "general purpose" than my iPhone.

Both consoles run pretty much off the shelf PC hardware, iPhone has a custom chip.

There is no valid reason why I shouldn't be able to install, say, Firefox on either of them. The architecture is there and on the Xbox even the APIs are there.

Seems ironic to be working for a company without integrity, drawing a salary ie your livelihood from such an organization while believing somehow your personal integrity is not already impacted by doing so. The two seem incompatible to an outside observer.
Your computer physically exists, just as your lawn mower. Amazon and Oracle on the other end just exist in our minds. Physically it’s just people interacting with each other. So for me personal integrity depends on each specific interaction.
Translation: Amazon doesn't need so many engineers anymore.

I don't want to run random self-made apps on my watch, I want it to work reliably at all times. And that is done by using APIs and frameworks provided by the smartwatch manufacturer.

There are fully custom watch solutions where you can program everything from bare metal up yourself. Get one of those.

The most notable things that he touched upon are:

1. Music is cheap, you can get access to vast catalogues of music for 10dollars a month

2. Music creation is widely accessible, cheap (laptop, a microphone and some software) and in lots of ways easier.

Nobody will ever convince me that prices of goods going down is a bad thing. Or that it's bad that people can get more for less.

What you won't get is the same feeling of having to save money to go to a record store to buy an album, go home and have a whole dedicated listening session. Obviously music collection you worked your ass off to buy and collect and share with your friends will have way more meaning compared to just typing in the artist in spotify or youtube.

The music can't get worse... because all the great recordings of the past are readily widely available.
And loads of good music is still being made, maybe the "mainstream" popular music has become worse, but it has never been "good" to begin with.
You are correct - I should've been more specific. Binding a package(s) to a third party index is currently unsupported (see issue: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/171) as it is something that pip itself does not support. PDM/Poetry implemented this on their own - though this it's an important feature and as far as I can tell it's coming.
The most important things is to figure out what you roughly like, and then find other people who like the same thing.

I'll either quickly skip through to a few parts of the song, or just listen to it straight. I can generally tell what I like very quickly. It should either immediately "spark joy" or have signs that the artists other works have potential. If not then it's chaff. My favorite songs tend to at least partially be under the wide genre of "metal", but most things under that label I don't care for. I toss it quickly and move on.

A quick and easy way is if the music you like is on bandcamp, and seeing genre's or artists recommendations or who bought the song. For example https://yobislove.bandcamp.com/track/adrift-in-the-ocean-202... has a list of icons under "supported by" that you can browse through and see if someone might have similar interests, in which case you can follow them.

Finding the artist mentioned via reddit or youtube in playlists or seeing manual recommendations in comments is also viable.

In my case, looking at "similar artists" under and artist's listing on https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Yob/10929 can work.

That said, in my case, Weedian (whose one of my few patreon subscriptions) has basically overtaken all the searching for me currently. The range of genres they include is wide, and I can't even get through the lists they drop before they drop another.
Good job at creating more competition, but sorry for being a little bit rude, most software forks die out, try to convince me using this instead of Continue + Claude-dev, which are open source extensions for the vanilla VSCode (or VSCodium).

A company doesn’t physically exist, the reality is people interacting with each others. People are not responsible for others whole experience, but certainly for their actions. You can’t hide behind non-existent things, you are having a real interaction in the real world and impacting real people. Otherwise it leads to systemic evil.

Author here, if you are comfortable with filter/map/reduce, than JAQT doesn't provide much benefits, I agree. My target audience is developers who aren't that used to that. I've had much more success with junior developers using JAQT, then trying to get them to use map/reduce.

I get the fun part of engineering this but can't put aside that it doesn't bring that much new feature, a thermometer, international time, more advanced chronometer. That's all thing that I don't really care about.

On the downside, you loose the cheap aspect of this watch and the battery life is divided by 7. From 7 years to supposedly a full year.

I buy a f91w because it cost less than 5€ and I don't care to break it or get it stolen.
I spent a good 10+ years hunting for my perfect travel watch. I was hung up on getting a mechanical watch, but also wanted it to solve the IST problem, which is 30 minutes off the standard timezones. It was an impossible task, especially with price also being a factor. I’ve had several Apple Watches, but having one more thing to change daily was something I didn’t like, and especially didn’t want while traveling.

Eventually I came to the realization that I was looking at it all wrong. With a 10 year battery, I can change it when I renew my passport, and anytime in between I can grab and go. Being cheap means I don’t have to be precious with it, nor does it make me a target. If it breaks, oh well, I’ll pick up another one. The time zone function is more flexible than an analog watch, it solves the IST problem, and also solves the issue of DST differing by country (a problem I didn’t know about when I got it, but have since run into). Every time I wear it I smile, as I’m reminded of the long road to get to such a simple place, and how it ticks all the boxes, once I woke up to realize what I actually needed vs what I thought I wanted. It really took a shift in mindset.

One big thing I didn’t like was the ugly text on the case. I already bought it and know what it is, I don’t need a sales pitch on my wrist. Thankfully, an eraser is able to take it right off. It takes a few minutes, but does the job and makes it look much better. Some videos will say to use chemicals, but they aren’t needed (and are likely bad for the finish).

There are sites that sell solid metal brackets and metal cases (to replace the plastic case and hollow links it comes with). I thought about going down this road, but if I did that, the watch then becomes precious and goes from a $30 watch to a $200 watch, with effort put into the swap. I’d be much more upset if something happened, so I decided against it and am happy about it. The last thing I want on a trip is to worry for even a moment about what’s on my wrist.

I have about a dozen or so watches. I’m seriously considering scaling back to just 2 that will fulfill all my needs, and this Casio is one of the two.
Oh boy.

I can relate so much to this article and everything said here. I published a book last year and it has been a long journey. It took me one year and a half to write it. But then when you think it's done, it's just a second challenge coming up.
I wanted to write a book that was as straight-to-the-point as possible. The publisher I signed with didn't really understand my approach and wanted me to turn it into a random book ("less rough") where you would get the usual long and useless introductions that I hate. Took me a while to realise that if I signed with a publisher it was just to get this "I'm an author" recognition this article talks about. I realised I didn't even buy "regular" programming books and most of my library are self published books. I didn't want to publish a book I would have not read.

Ended up cancelling my contract and publishing it myself. I talk a bit about it in this article: https://www.einenlum.com/articles/my-book-from-php-to-python...

I sold like 50 of them but got great feedback. To anyone wondering if it's worth it financially, definitely NOT. Is it still worth it for other reasons? I would say I don't regret it but you first have to realise you'll go into a rabbit hole and experience the levels of stress the author of the article talks about.

Cool, who's going to write all the new software for your platform?
Well right, Amazon will never share their internal data with you, and they will use language to avoid insulting anyone. The fact they, along with most other major tech companies, are going back to in person work is what’s telling. If Amazon could find a way to avoid spending money on office space they would.

What I can say and have been saying is that in my experience, it doesn’t work. It attracts employees who don’t understand the mission and people who want to do as little work as possible. If it works for you that’s great, but to attribute the move back to offices as some nefarious plan to waste money fundamentally misunderstands how businesses work. It also makes me wonder if you’re exactly the kind of employee I don’t want to hire

AWS' moat, if they have one, is not in renting out generic compute. That's been done since before anyone ever heard the term "cloud".

I think the point was that the things LLMs are useful for can increasingly be done with freely available models you can run on your own hardware, hardware you rent from someone else, or via a 3rd party's hosted service. Want to run Meta's models on Google's server? Nothing stopping you.

The police steal it because they can. As things progress down this route, the police will soon be doing more things just because they can. Already they've been seizing cars in Florida from people who haven't even been charged with anything. The way things are going, soon the police will start holding people hostage without charges, asking for ransom from the person's bank account. Since the President and the Supreme Court both don't care, there is no limit here to how far the police can go.
It’s very hard to deport someone legally against their will in some cases (i.e. they are refugees, don’t have any documents, are “underage” etc.) There are all sorts of technicalities and legal processes than can be appealed.

I've been working remotely for 8 years..there are remote jobs out there. Good ones too with good pay. Especially good when you balance for time saved not going to an office and being forced to be "on the job" for 8hrs a day. Shrink that effective wage denominator.
> This is standard practice in basically every country.

The United States is NOT every country. We have a Constitution that makes this behavior unacceptable.

> So by all means, the police should keep the money until you simple prove the non-existing totally legit reason why you could not use a bank transfer. I understand the problem with this, but you don´t prove that you are innocent; but large amounts of cash are usually connected to crime and it is your job to explain why not.

Once again, I’m not sure where you’re from, but here in America, we’re innocent until proven guilty, and that’s a pretty big deal. Also, the burden of proof is on law enforcement to prove that a citizen is guilty of a crime, not on the citizen to prove that they’re innocent.

Legally, it’s entirely irrelevant that you or anyone in law enforcement believe it to be strange that someone is either carrying large amounts of cash or sending cash via mail—it’s perfectly legal behavior.

My grandma has never ever put a single dollar in the bank, because she doesn’t trust them. I don’t have her experience, but she should be able to do as she pleases with her cash without law enforcement treating her as a criminal just so they can steal her money. It’s that simple.

LINQ is much more sophisticated, translating as much of the query as possible to the target (server) language, like SQL. JAQT is not doing that. lodash, underscore, and others, had a great impact on javascript by introducing lots of functional paradigms. Most of that is now part of javascript itself. JAQT's main purpose is to allow you to filter arrays of objects and create custom objects, just like GraphQL. And be a bit easier to learn than Array.map/reduce/filter.

in general, an AGI might want to perform experiments to guide its exploration, but it's possible that the hypotheses that it would want to check have already been probed/constrained sufficiently. which is to say, a theoretical physicist might still stumble upon the right theory without further experiments.
