Is there an LLM that can solve the following simple coding task?

Make a simple HTML page which
uses the VideoEncoder API to
create a video that the user
can download.

Since the VideoEncoder API is made for this exact use case and is publicly available, it should be able for an LLM to figure it out. But I have yet to see an LLM answer with a working solution.
Yes, I agree - advertising with a silly premise

I'm not discounting the effectiveness so much, just really trying to assert it's closer to bait than the other poster would admit.

The invoice - for the cable - told them the same thing as the scanner, lol. We're talking so it worked, sure. Bait... or more kindly, advertising - I said it first! :P
On every single page you try to read or get something done on, though?

Ads can be useful. How else am I to know of this amazing new music service or when there will be a certain show in town? But it needn't be all day long everywhere you look, and one ad on every page still has that issue

Not that I would know how to solve the problem of reconciling (1) sustainable website income, (2) annoyance factor, (3) sufficient targeting to reduce the annoyance factor, and (4) privacy issues. I just know that websites suffer from my adblocker and that I suffer from the web without adblocker. For what it's worth, I do have an online newspaper subscription and donate to nonprofit/opensource services that I use (like f-droid and openstreetmap), but it's not a full solution...
But: where do you start with those after a blackout (which I assume is pretty possible in a scenario where the grid is under attack). How do you sync them all in that case?

Can maybe be done via GPS timing, but hard to get that coordination going after you've needed it.
If AT&T wants out so bad, they should give their copper network away.

Even using the term "We" here seems so casual and sick to me.

"We" vs "Fascists". Wow.

Gitlab is a publicly traded company, it’s literally been for sale to anyone who wants it for 3 years.

If you made an offer to buy it for ~$15B right now, the board would basically have to approve the sale.
It's basically the difference between top-down and bottom-up. For good planning, you need to have a good knowledge about your domain, and lay out all the routes and solutions, and then just execute them. But new greatness usually comes from the unexpored, dark corners of your knowledge-map, so it's by definition kinda impossible to plan for greatness and success. Though, you can plan for raising the chances of finding success, but this is a different domain of planning, so it's not something anyone can do just because they can plan other types of projects. And let's not forget that humans are very depending on mindset and energy, to manage their limited mental abilities. Executing one type of plan will naturally prevent you from doing other things.
Not sure why folks are down voting you; it's a legitimate fact.

If ink is way overpriced and printers are locked down to use only the overpriced ink, then the printer business should be insanely profitable. Is it?
YouTube already had a shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_headquarters_shooting

SV may be different though in that most cases you are opting in and most people agree that the products improve their life. If you feel otherwise don’t buy it. Someone can still decide that technology is bad and go on a bombing campaign like the unabomber, but we haven’t seen much support for that approach, instead questioning his sanity. I think the YT shooter fell on the crazy side of the scale in public opinion as well.

With health insurance, you are forced to buy it or have little choice on which company you go with when it’s provided through your employer.

I guess if you’re forced out of a job because of AI or something that’s fair. I always thought the best argument for UBI was if you take all of our jobs and give us nothing in return, we can make your life a living hell.
It seems the company behind this product has gone out of business and the product itself is no longer sold (their e-commerce site is still up, but the shop is empty)?

Which is a bummer, as I went looking after your comment - Toniebox is great but I agree it feels overpriced on the content side (perhaps it isn’t, if their competitor couldn’t make the business model work…)

Would they get to watch it for free if they release their review months after the movie is released? If no, then it’s an ad, with just a very low price.
IT policy flick of the switch disables that, such as at my organization. That was instead intended to snag single, non-corporate, user accounts (still horrible, but I mean to convey that MS at no point in all that expected a company's IT department to actually leave that training feature enabled in policy).

Russia is pretty inclined to fight, so I'm not sure if I understand your point here.
There's overhead with parallelization. Security issues, race conditions and resource contention. I think the big one is its ass to debug.
Agreed. You do your best to counter and mitigate this type of foreign influence, but once people have voted, they have voted. Once you start to rationalize "but they only voted this way because X", it will be tempting to expand X in a way that disenfranchises and disempowers citizens.

Remediation without limiting CO2 output is almost certainly going to be even worse. It would be like stomping on the brake and the accelerator at the same time: maybe your speed is what you want, but the wheels are going to literally come off.

If we have limited CO2, manipulating the albedo will likely not be necessary. It will be easier to adapt civilization than to modify the planet itself. Once we have reached the point where that is no longer true, there will be little left to salvage, and geoengineering would likely do as much harm as good.
My last name has an apostrophe in it. This isn't super weird or anything, there have been "O'Haras" and "O'Neills" (with 2 Ls) forever.

And yet whenever I deal with a computer system I don't put the apostrophe in because even in 2024 it is completely jacked up. Sometimes it's just disallowed. Sometimes I get "\\'" showing up. Sometimes I get "&apos;". I've seen "&#8217;". One time, one system accepted it, but another system that accessed the same data didn't allow apostrophes so the person using the second system couldn't access the record, and it took 2 phone calls and 3 people to come up with a workaround.

It doesn't work often enough that I don't even try anymore. There are just too many opportunities for it to get forgotten or handled improperly from all directions.
Oh wow, I forgot about that. I tend to add a bookmark and then make that a search engine, but yeah, that will require you to type the bookmark's character every time. Annoying that you can just add your own engine URL.

I got dinged by the hand wipes for "positive explosive residue". My only guess about that it could have been was I was still using the nicotine pouches at the time and they do have an interesting powder on them. They said it happens pretty often, but I was pretty wigged out and I'm usually a very calm traveler.
I think it's time to question what "necessary" means for a product/service delivered online.

If it's unnecessary to use React et al, why is it necessary to complicate your application server with UI concerns so that it can build a big html UI string that is sent over the wire? And this only works for web browsers and no other clients?

Instead, it could be a simple API server that doesn't need to know about the UI at all.

There are obviously trade-offs in either direction, but to talk about necessary vs unnecessary doesn't seem to reflect that. There is nothing more necessary about one set of them over the other.
A very reliable source!
There's a simple way to think about this that doesn't require doing a ton of research and number crunching. Think about the volume of fuel in a single airplane, about 7,000 gallons for a 737, or about 100 55 gallon drums. It's nowhere near exact, but you can roughly equate that volume of fuel to the volume of volume of wood to compare carbon - I'm pretty sure this is being very generous to the energy density of the wood, but it gives you an upper limit on what the wood could be sequestering (I think in reality jet fuel is something like 2-3x as energy/carbon dense per m^3). Now think about how many planes take off every day from an airport, and the volume of n*100 drums.

It's just nowhere near in reality, and we're not going to make a large dent via sequestration, the "finite" airports is functionally infinite for our purposes. We have to start making carbon neutral fuel.

That said, manufacturing concrete is incredibly carbon intensive, so avoiding making the amount we would've needed for this building is a pretty good win.

Here's a short fiction idea if anyone wants to take it up.

Forward causation in time with predictive ability must imply Downward causation.

This scenario is similar to the scenario in which the time and space axes inside
the black hole swap places. If that is possible within the blackhole, then it must mean that it should be possible everywhere. Similarly to how we first find
the holographic effect to apply to only blackholes but then generalize to the whole universe.

But make sure you buy Brother toner because when you use third party toner the print quality is intentionally degraded. Cheap, but not all that cheerful IMHO.

GP had it exactly right, perspective distortion ONLY depends on the distance between objects to the camera (entrance pupil). The focal length literally does not matter at all.

(This is an interesting point of contention, because conventional wisdom up until a few years ago was exactly what you said, and relaying what GP said got you tarred and feathered as an imbecile in the usual "photog forums". It's also one of these things which were never in doubt at all, and are very easy to check for yourself.)
With Unicode the same grapheme can be written with a sequence of one or more code points, and each code point can be a sequence of one or more code units.

For example "å" can be written with U+00E5, and the same visual glyph "å" with U+0061 + U+030A ( U+0061 {a} plus the code unit U+030A {Combining Ring Above}).

Another homoglyph Unicode user name example:

· is Café == Café ?

· C + a + f + e + '́ ' vs C + a + f + é

· Utf8: 43616665CC81 vs 436166C3A9

As one user has pointed out in another comment, some kind of standardisation for that specific use case with some kind of normalisation would be needed first (nevertheless a database search would want a different one, and so on). The above examples are among the simpler ones, there are also unprintable characters, etc.

It can be done as in "nothing is impossible", but it's not that easy, it's actually complex.
The most fundamental problem with OS/2 is that it wasn't designed as a multi-user OS from the start. It had some multi-user functionality but there were core architectural problems that made it impossible to move forward without a complete rewrite.

On the UI side it also had a single input queue. Which was such a stupid design decision that I can't imagine what they were thinking. Fixing that would have also required a major rewrite.

> It is impossible to reason about or even understand have the statements made by members of other teams in a meeting or communication because every other word they use is a code name for something that you’ve never heard of and the name doesn’t bear any resemblance to what it represents

Then it's working. That is exactly the point of code names.
Like any other service, you’ll just pay for it with your money.
What about gitlab now
I’ve been using it for a couple of years and would add that it’s probably the density of high quality results that’s better, rather than the best results being better than Google.

In other words, there are fewer low quality results which raises the average quality of the results you’re presented with
Is there any room for ornamentation in your view then? I'm afraid that your cause is dead in the water with that perspective.
Warcrime becomes increasingly a previous century thing. This century war itself is a crime and to counter it all means are on the table again.
Cannot emphasize this enough. I think one of my best purchases in the past year or two was investing in the MFC-L3780CDW Brother laser printer.

Took some research and timing but couldn’t be happier with no longer having to worry about ink clogging / going bad if I haven’t printed for a while.

Toner cartridges aren’t exactly cheap, but they will print a ton of pages, and they take way longer to go bad from what I’ve experienced so far…
That is an extremely impressive roof, and I agree that the title isnt grabbing. I too clicked on the picture but had previously skipped the article on HN.
"...this can also be a bad thing, in that the bar to entry in theory is quite low, meaning you might have to deal with people arguing in questionably bad faith, or who don’t have first hand real world experience of the subject."

FWIW, this isn't something that can only happen in the IETF. Lots of other SDOs can have this issue. Some (usually corporate sponsored) participants in SDOs participate solely to slow down/poison work. Usually as an effort to gain market share while things are debated and become the de facto standard rather than allow something they may not implement become standardized.
> The software development is absolutely a fractal.

I think this analogy is more apt than you may realize. Just like a fractal, the iterated patterns get repeated on a much smaller scale. The jump to higher-level languages was probably a greater leap then the the rest of software innovation will provide. And with each iterative gain we approach some asymptote, but never get there. And this frustration of never reaching our desired outcome results in ever louder hype cycles.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I think it would be great to drop this (or something like this) in the project README.
Hear! Hear!!!!

Practical, reliable, affordable and just works technology; The amazing Brother HL-L2320D printer. I can't remember the last time I bought toner. The thing just keeps on printing. I think they make a wireless version, but I can't be bothered to change something that just works the way this printer has. We have fancy printers at work that are also Laser based and they are not as reliable the printer sitting next to me.

Open-Source vs. Closed Ecosystem: What's Better for Startups?
Many startups face the choice between leveraging open-source for rapid development or building a closed platform for better monetization. Which of these approaches do you think is better for long-term success?
Like water and power, the government does a better job at this than the private sector.
Agreed. We run a respectable Freax shop around here.
There's a very obvious reason sci fi armors don't look like historical armor: so they look sci fi. If you make your plasteel armor look like a medieval suit then your movie will look like laser jousting. It's why tatooine looks like a western even though it's made of jet engine parts- everyone is just dressed like a western, except the guns shoot lasers.

Also, weight is no longer an issue like it historically was. You used to march to a place and set up camp to fight; now you run patrols and missions. Soldiers need to carry packs and water and ammunition; every loadout will be heavy and cumbersome.

Transport and communications make heavy loadouts possible. Realistic sci fi would not have two armies sprinting at each other or dramatic last stands or light loadouts. Unfortunately that makes for extremely boring movies. People carrying 100 lbs of gear and ambushing each other, then sitting in cover and waiting for heavy fire support is not dramatic.

That said IMO there's a dearth of "heavies"- dress up some huge 7' guy with 4" thick plates of chunky armor and those leaf spring stilts and have him sprint around with a machine gun. That would be fun! If you have a massive population and elite soldiers then why does every single guy look incredibly normal?

Alao shoutout to edge of tomorrow for shaving the coolest power armor of any movie, even if it looked pretty dumb when they were just gliding around on wires. Tom Cruise sprinting in that getup looked awesome.
Not OP but I’ve used Garmin’s for about 15 years and over 10k running miles. I don’t like or use non-fitness related smart watch features, so I can’t speak to those or recommend a good "smart watch that also does fitness". If you want top of the line with more data than you’ll know what to do with and a ton of fitness activity tracking beyond running, the Epix2, Fenix 7, or Forerunner 965 (I have the Epix2).

A step down but still great is the Forerunner 265. The feature they all have and I think has been the most useful is the Training Readiness. It looks at a bunch of different metrics, both current (your HRV, last workout performance, sleep, stress) and chronic (your weekly and monthly total exercise amount, types of running, etc) and advises you on how hard you should train and suggests a running activity for the day. It is basically a digital running coach/personal trainer that makes sure you are getting a good mix between tempo runs, long runs, easy runs, etc. and makes sure you aren’t overtraining or if a bad day means to switch to a light workout. I normally use it loosely to inform my choices but I’ve tried using its daily training plans exclusively and it was very good at keeping me progressing.

Hopefully this helps.
I think this is a pretty clear-eyed view. I've been a developer for 25 years. I use Copilot every day now exactly the way he describes. I get it to do XYZ, then use it to refactor what it just did or clean it up myself. Every now and then it goes sideways, but on the whole it saves me time and helps me focus on business problems more than ceremony.
I do not want to criticize anybody. But I think this is a fire hazard and I would not recommend it in a place so close to jet fuel and jet engines.
There should be links to other artciles on BBC, like TicTok admitting the bots farms used, a big one from Ruzzia.

We here in Romania are following this for weeks so we know all this details, hard to find now english links, but imagine some candiate having the guts to declare zero spending in campaign, like how is this possible?

I will try to find the tTic Tok admitting the issue, maybe then the skeptics can accept it or maybe they will claim Romanian gov controls Tc Tok

I am sure there is more but Tic Tok found this "by mistake", they also did nothing about electoral content not being labeled correctly.
I hate that we still are talking about this. Ads suck, and there's already a better way to do things.

Micropayments are the answer. Everyone on the internet pays a small monthly fee, say $5/month (ideally this would just be integrated into your internet bill), and every piece of content you view streams tiny amounts of that fee to whatever content you are viewing. The actual amount sent is based on your monthly usage, and never goes over that $5/month cap. People who browse less send more.

A webextension tested this years ago & it was sweet. Businesses could be sustainable on there own, no ads, no data selling. If you have viewers, you have currency. But, it wasn't a seamless experience so it didn't take off.

Make no mistake: This is the best possible way to fund the open web, which is exactly why Google pretends it doesn't exist. If chrome had this feature built in & people never had to think about it, ads would drop to near 0 incredibly fast. Google says no.

We are doomed to have an enshittified web because the powers that be won't integrate sustainable funding mechanisms.
You don’t get to kill people when you don’t get your way. I can’t believe I even have to explain that. If assassination is acceptable behavior society is doomed. And the people carrying out those murders aren’t going to build anything better than we have now.

Yes, the healthcare system has flaws. But those flaws are fixable. In living memory we have seen dramatic improvements in the healthcare industry. Murder isn’t the solution here.
Yeah, this is also my experience.

AT&T won't even build fiber home internet to urban/suburban residents that have existing fiber-to-the-node (original U-Verse) service -- places less than a mile away from functional residential AT&T fiber drop already (DSLAM).

They're still happy to charge me the $100/month for that ~60mbps VDSL copper service though. (even though, if anything happens to that line, they're refusing to repair/replace it)

It's ridiculous.
I notice you're hotlinking the images from their respective sources.

This isn't ideal from a privacy PoV, because you're basically announcing your presence to tens of different orgs even if you don't click on anything.

And, some hosts might not appreciate their images being hotlinked - the big sites probably don't care or even notice, but someone's personal blog without a media CDN might end up getting hammered with traffic.
I agree on the first part. Having used kagi for about 6 months it often lacks behind on recent things. I find myself automatically adding !g on such queries
