The camera already does realtime compression to the sdcard. It has dedicated hardware for this. USB-2 has adequate bandwidth for compressed audio+video.

Your HDMI capture device (which is a cheap portable device with limited processing power) is probably going to do a much worse job.

Sending uncompressed video over usb is absurd.
I just hit this, within minutes of starting... A cursory search implies this is a won't-fix: https://ziglang.org/learn/overview/#small-simple-language

Operating overloading is considered hidden control flow. I appreciate that the team set made and are adhering to principles, but it does not mitigate the downside of this omission to me. I do a lot of scientific and numerical computing, and use vectors frequently. Non-overloaded vector syntax is tough to read and write.

I'm aborting. This is an unfortunate decision.
FTA: "As part of the FTC’s proposed order — if approved by a court — GM and Onstar will be banned from disclosing data to consumer reporting agencies"

It's proposed, not official. And since the rule has a 30-day waiting period, and the powers-that-be absolutely despise Lina Kahn (who will be out of a job in a week), consider this rule completely defeated and bet that it won't be implemented.

The super-pro-Corporate party is about to take place, and GM donated to the incoming president. GM lost $10 billion on its self-driving unit, and wants to recoup a lot of that money. They've bought enough politicians to see that this rule never goes into effect.

It does - he’s talking about the philosophical difference between free software and open source, and I’m criticizing the moral argument he makes with regard to free software. If somebody decides to use GPL because they want to prevent others from copying their work and competing against them (which actually seems less open/free? besides the point) then that’s a pragmatic/economic reason, not a moral/idealistic reason. They would still be in the “open source” camp even if their license was written by Stallman.
The EOS R8 was released less than a year ago and that output is still capped at 2K and 30 fps. Meanwhile the camera itself shoots 4K at 60 fps (if you go Full HD, you can even shoot 180 fps). So saying it works perfectly is not quite accurate, you still need either extra hardware or extra software if you want to actually use it to the full capacity.

> The US really needs to strengthen the legal foundations for people's right to privacy.

That's at odds with the even higher (current) goal of "Make money". As long as those are at odds, entities in the US will always favor "making more money" above "people's right to privacy".

Or, people start preferring entities that aren't strictly for-profit, but seems unlikely to happen on the short-horizon.
Most of my work is in higher level languages and I never liked C due to its many quirks and footguns which made me think that I just didn't enjoy low level programming.

I learned that I was wrong when I spent some time hacking around lower level programming with Zig and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It just clicks for me in ways that C and C++ never did.

Not really. Operations is, at best, 5% software and more like 90+% project management. It is handy being able to write original applications on the fly to automate some of the insanity because there are multiple things happening simultaneously and many things to account for.

I remember being so upset reading Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics, which starts with a very clear and concise review of the basics of supply, demand, surplus and shortage, which leads directly to an overwhelmingly simple and convincing case against price controls. And the tremendous damage that they cause.

And yet people almost universally support price controls (e.g. laws against price gouging) during catastrophes.

It makes me think that either I'm missing something, or that it is a shame that every single voting citizen doesn't understand basic economics.

A limiter is a compressor with an infinite ratio. It does not clip.
Hurricanes usually don't affect the structure of a house. They might damage the roof, parts of exterior cladding, perhaps windows, and the flooding which accompanies hurricanes destroys personal possessions, interior furnishing, electrical wiring, and appliances.

In the US, manual labor is very expensive, home construction or repair is highly regulated and requires permits and multiple inspections from the local government, and the amount of flood-destroyable stuff - material possessions, furnishings, appliances - in a typical home is massive. As a result, a cyclone which a poorer country would survive with a shrug in the US becomes an extremely expensive disaster.
People were using systems like JWT but not so complex 20 years before, something like

session_id:user_id:access_rights:timestamp:signature

where signature has to be a good MAC, not the obvious

MD5(secret_key+":"+session_id:user_id:access_rights:timestamp")

that lets anybody append stuff to the end of the key. At the time there were a lot of commercial tools like ColdFusion that just did

session_id

and looked everything up and encouraged you to use this not just for auth but as everyday variables for application state which was problematic in so many ways:

(1) One of the best salesman I ever knew would pitch you on how web applications were revolutionary because small businesses could finally afford custom software; as a dev working for him I could give you many reasons, one of which was that once you wrapped your head around it, it was simpler to write a correct stateless back end and have just a little data in the front end and a lot in a relational database than to manage the disorderly graph of a desktop application -- session variables let you use the old patterns but those just didn't work transplanted to the web.

(2) Distributed systems issues

We ought to have a new standard that is radically stripped down. As with the old-style session variables, everybody on the team shouldn't get the right to stuff things into the cookie.

>Accusing thousands of people of being incompetent is more telling of you than them.

Not me. Facts on the ground do it. Honest question - if I wish upon you every medical professional from now on that treats you and your family to be as competent as the part of the administrative state that is responsible for wild fire management and prevention in LA - will you take that as a blessing or a curse?
Right, so the house is not constructed out of cardboard. Soundproofing in my part of the US is often rockwool and not cardboard.
This video has ATC audio captured in the effected region during the event.

Venus' Lower Clouds (2016)
The savings Spacex has promise of delivering to NASA make every dollar given to them probably an easy 2x-3x ROI.

Without Spacex, the typical cohort of gov contractors would have been happy bleeding NASA dry with one time use rockets that have 10x the launch cost and carry 1/4 the cargo.
Fascinating stuff. If there was a moment for SCOTUS to show that principles mean something, that was now, because it was easy and would have cost next to nothing. Now all bets are off, because the old guard likely managed to galvanize portion of the US user base by showing it what US truly values.

The Making of Lego Island: A Documentary [video]
my Sonos Beam soundbar has "night sounds" and "voice booster" modes that do an excellent job of solving this problem.
This video, the map elsewhere in this subthread, and the stream recording give a nicely detailed view into what went down. It seems like everything went like it was supposed to in terms of pre-warning, but based on the video the information didn't make it to pilots with coinciding flight plans until after the fact.

As far as I understand airline pilots have a high level of authority and diverting probably was the right call depending on the lag between seeing it and knowing what it was or if there was a risk of debris reaching them. They wouldn't necessarily know how high it got or what that means for debris.
Your TV, amplifier, or sound bar should have a night mode that does this for you.

My first 3d printer was a Qidi and it ended up having closed firmware. I replaced the motherboard with one from microcenter for $40. Problems solved.
On ios it does not do that. When I click on the original source link it replaces minifeeds page in the current tab. I can the ln click back and it does take me back to minifeed but then I cant click back again to get back “one more” to the minifeed index.
Part of why it has "weird Demi god status" is that it is not only so reliable but also so cheap.
Soyuz is not reusable. Falcon 9 is. That is why Falcon 9 is so celebrated. No other rocket company or state-sponsored space agency comes close to its track record of cheap, reliable, reusable rockets.

Oh certainly. I was arguing that if you need more isolation than a function gives you, don't jump to the conclusion that you need a service. Consider a library as a middle ground.
My college friend didn't attack anyone, but you are taking the sins of people who share his ethnicity and attaching them to him, and in the same breath bemoaning that we do that to the Jewish people (even though we never did that)
That's it. I have been an acting/deputy brigade S6 on and off for years. Its more people and expectation management at that point than anything directly technical, but you are still expected to be an expert, like being a corporate associate director. I just promoted out of that and am looking for the next thing.
This is one reason I think B2C is good for solo devs despite people constantly criticizing it.
That is a fascinating cultural perspective and explains a lot of things to me:

I've always treated cars like houses are in the USA- I buy an older higher end car like a Porsche, keep it in perfect shape, and expect it to appreciate- and it does. Most cars I've owned I ultimately sold for much more than I paid. I've never understood why anyone would waste money on a depreciating car, especially when a fully depreciated high end car is so much nicer and cheaper than a low end new one. Airplanes are not mechanically that different than a car, yet generally last and hold value if maintained.

I've also never understood why people in the USA assume houses will always appreciate, as if it is a law of nature or something- when at its core houses can't appreciate forever relative to inflation, because there is a hard cap somewhere below people paying 100% of income for housing. This basically proves it is just a combination of a culture that values older housing in the USA and regulatory capture preventing new construction. New houses are often seen as "cold," "sterile," or "lacking character" in the USA- and the stereotype of a successful wealthy person is in a giant old mansion.
I gave up and started using subtitles.
NSF was started by Chris Bergen, a meteorologist by trade and a space exploration enthusiast, in early 2000s as a hobby forum (good old phBB) for people to chat about space and rocketry. I'm sure he couldn't even dream about becoming so popular so he didn't spend too much time coming up with a name (ie to protect himself against copyright infringement lawsuits). In fact I'm sure he would love to change the name now as they try to cover space programs all over the world (it's too late as people know them as NSF).
> It's called supply and demand

Supply of the kinds of services under discussion here is rarely limited in any practical sense, so scarcity does not play.

> The way things should be priced is based on the value it gives you. If your service makes me or saves me $100 of value per month, I should be prepared to pay up to a little below $100 for it.

This ignores opportunity cost. Very few buyers have infinite cash, they do tend to have infinite ways they could spend money though and many of them will give a far better return than a couple of percent.

In reality if you're adjusting your pricing to try and extract the most you think you can get away with from the customer, you will lose a substantial number of buyers - and probably more so with buyers who have a technical mindset.
A key issue in the LA fires was bad management at all levels of government that could have prevented an order of magnitude of the damage (If procedures from the past were followed).
Skyvern Browser Agent 2.0: How We Reached State of the Art in Evals
I've been using FreshRSS for about 3 years now, with pretty much the same sources of feeds as the author.

The main pro is that the signal to noise ratio is incalculably better than social media. It's trivial to obtain updates you're actually interested in when you control the filters.

The main con is that even though it has replaced social media, it's still not fulfilling, in the same way social media wasn't fulfilling. It's still a stream of often entertaining but mostly irrelevant information.
He didn't get his visa through Egypt. He got it through Israel, and when it was randomly denied, he probably couldn't apply for an Egyptian one in time to make it.
> Now you appear to dislike that people who have different risk profiles are grouped together

There is no problem with pooling properties with different risk profiles so long as each property pays premiums that adequately represent that property's risk profile.
>Why group the unsure with supporters?

Because it is an a priori based on... "vibes" and a lot of hearsay (from the loudest voices).

And "nearly 6 in 10" (so, closer to 50/50?) is not a big majority. Just need that a few thousand people change their mind to reverse which side is the "majority". (Note the margin of error is not mentioned)
Someone says they're looking at what to do after their kids go to school and your reply is basically "well, if you think you're going to quit your current job, just so you know your spouse might divorce you for the money before you get a chance to quit".

Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
You don't have the individual vms check in. You have the VM coordinator report how many vms are running and get back an affirmation that it can cache until the next reporting period that the total is not over budget. If over budget, coordinator begins halting services.

API gateways are similarly sending metrics somewhere. The coordinator can be the place to ingest that data and send the aggregated info to billing. If it gets back over budget, start halting endpoints. etc.

Or do it within the billing service, but fire off a shutdown notification to the coordinator of whatever service created a billing record if over budget. Same idea.

Basically, batch, amortize and cache work. Same as every computer problem. You establish some SLO for how much time your services can continue running after an overage has occurred, and if that's a couple minutes or whatever that will cut out like 99.99% of the impact in these stories.
We sell a devtool (FusionAuth, an authentication server).

We have clearish pricing on our website (the options are a bit confusing because you can self-host or pay for hosting), but we do have our enterprise pricing available for someone, and you can buy it with a credit card.

In my four years there, we've had exactly one purchase of enterprise via the website. But every enterprise deal that I'm aware of has researched pricing, including using our pricing calculator. Then they want to talk to understand their particular use case, nuances of implementation and/or possible discounts.

Maybe FusionAuth and its ilk are a different level of implementation difficulty than keygen? Maybe our docs aren't as good as they should be (the answer to this is yes, we can definitely improve them)? Maybe keygen will shift as they grow? (I noticed there was mention towards the bottom of the article about a short discovery call.)

All that to say:

* email/async communication is great

* meet your customers where they are

* docs are great and clear messaging pays off

* devtools at a certain price point ($50/month vs $3k/month) deserve different go to market motions
If a property is uninsurable, it can be bought for cash. The actual land value can still be mortgaged, too.

Would you want to hold collateral that has a high risk of becoming worthless? You would effectively be self insuring it and would have to price that into a loan you offered.
> failed up to manager...

see, everything around can be a tool. Sticks, screwdrivers, languages, books, phones, cars, houses, roads, software, knowledge, ..

in my rosy glasses this line stops at people (or maybe life-forms?). People are not tools. Should not be treated as such.

But that is not the case in reality. So anyone for whom other people are tools, will fail (or fall) upwards (or will be pulled there). Sooner or later.

sorry if somewhat dark..
I do think the world would likely be better off without price controls during catastrophes, but I also think disasters are one of the places where they're least harmful: they're temporary situations, and also the normal assumptions around information and competition etc are less applicable.
What if in this case it was about keeping the accident rate low by incentivizing safe driving? Don't know if I agree with them doing it, but it's probably not an argument that any side would win, and we don't even truly know if it would be a negative or a positive for society when looking at it from every angle.
With CPU manufacturers it at least makes sense for them to have a market for partially faulty chips. That's not what's going on here.

at least that pun makes sense. in this context, "park", as I understand it, means to temporarily put something aside, generally something you have control of, like "let's park that idea and move onto ...", not like claims adversaries are making.
I'm unsure what the "fuck fuck game" is, but I honestly think HN tries to be more than just a "tech bullshitting forum". I think there's hope that you put some thought into what you say and how you say it.

Sure, there are certainly marriages for financial convenience, but you presented this like a widespread phenomena, so much so that you felt like you wanted to warn people about it.

You said so yourself, it's well documented that spouses divorce because of a change in finances and you could provide the evidence yourself of that, but, to my knowledge, not well documented that it's a common reason that spouses divorce because they want to force the unemployed high earning spouse into miserable work.

I'm not looking for a direct scientific study, but it would be nice if you could provide some sort of news article or the like about this phenomena. I'm sorry that I didn't just uncritically accept your anecdote as being true.
Readwise Reader. Yes, as another commenter stated it costs money, but it has many other features that I find useful such as good text-to-speech, integrations with other apps like Obsidian, and a good export feature if I want to switch to another feed app.
Falcon 9 was once in the same spot; simulator payloads (a wheel of cheese), years of delays, a bunch of smashed-up first stages and drone ships, etc. Even more so if you count the Falcon 1 failures.

Starship has already demonstrated several key things work - the new engines, catching the booster, and on-target intact reentry of the second stage, all for about as much money as a single SLS launch is projected to cost. (Thus far, they've only had one for $26B.)
Ask HN: Google forcibly enabled Gemini in our Corp Org. How to disable?
Google is playing strong arm tactics trying to get ahead of their competition. Our users logged in yesterday to see Gemini enabled in Gmail.

Despite what Google's literature says about being safe and private, they have a history of retroactively opting people into features and our corporate information cannot be submitted externally.

We cannot find controls in the admin console to disable. Has anyone else figured out how to disable Gemini integration with corporate Gmail?

This surprises me, because Google has been litigated against successfully in the past about forcing users into their products in the past.
Weirdly I had the exact opposite experience. Elgato always felt laggy. I bought a no-name USB Stick format card and it looked great (once I got my camera settings dialed in) but would disconnect when I bumped my desk. I cracked the case open and soldered a USB cable I cut in half to the pads, and 3d printed a new case and it's been rock solid for the last 4 years. Only problem is the once in a blue moon I need to use Teams my video get's horizontally squished and I can't seem to fix it.
It happens, sometimes, as i said. Probably not to them, nor did I claim it would.
