The blu-rays contains m2ts files, which have the same video data in them as an mp4 container would (h264, usually, vc-1 sometimes).

Remuxing them can be done a NUC-class CPU. Transcoding them requires hardware support to do in real time with today's hardware, but the hardware support is quite light - an AMD iGPU can chew through a 4K BDMV no problem, so long as the codecs on both the input and output side are supported for acceleration.

Jellyfin tries to prefer Intel Quicksync for some reason but it works with other GPU accel too. The problem isn't the performance envelope, it's how poorly the code is implemented on the Jellyfin side: it's not reliable at starting and managing the concat process, and it forces a transcode to embed subtitles for no logical reason I can see.
But the whole point of these “deep research” models is to.. you know.. do research.

LLMs by themselves have not been good at this, but the whole point is to find a way to make them good.
For context VP is not really a senior position in JP Morgan anymore. There is such a thing as a Senior VP too, but even that is usually gained by time served as opposed to suggesting someone with real decision making power.

Obviously the VPs in this case may have sway, but it sounds more likely they overstepped, creating a particularly unsavoury mess.
Correct. I usually only see it when I have a proxy issue, eg, my jellyfin is flat out down and my proxy is still up.
Super encouraging. Is it just the CGM or pump too ?
The mistake was for the expenses to be so high. It's because she previously worked at corporate channels that had those positions so she hired for those roles without understanding that a new channel in a crowded segment (cooking) will take many years to build an audience.

If she had done more of the work herself, it may have meant longer time between each video but more potential for the channel to be profitable.

Profitable channels, and there's not that many of them, usually take many years to get to profitability- or some semblance of being able to live off YT. Without that patience and keeping costs down while income is low, is a recipe for an unprofitable channel.
I guess somewhat a solution to this is to contribute anonymously, via Tor/VPN, incl. any emails so that nothing can be traced back to you.

Fun fact, Volvo created and patented the three point safety belt in use today after years of R&D and testing expenses, but immediately made it free for all other car makers.

I wonder if companies would do that today without heavy incentives. I can’t imagine for example a VC backed company doing that.

Want to Train Your Own GPT-Style Model? – Step-by-Step Notebook
I’ve been diving deep into training language models and put together a notebook that walks through building a GPT-style transformer from scratch. The goal was to make something educational, lightweight (single GPU), and practical for experimentation.
I saw the argument more as: Gorton begat Leroy and that became the defacto technical drawing standard through the widespread adoption of drawing templates. The differences between Leroy and the standards you mentioned seem very small to me.
This is such a weird objection. I'm sure national forests and BLM lands could be better managed, sure. But I can still camp, bike, motorcycle, raft, canoe, swim, hike, climb, ski, etc etc etc. I'd rather have poorly managed land I can use than a bunch of no trespassing signs.
There is no learning process. No feedback at all is given.
Could you share the template please?

Definitely an artifact of its time. I have older family members who still resent seatbelt laws, who still have those "buckle only" defeat devices that stop the chiming. "The government can't tell me what to do" can be such a deeply ingrained attitude!
It is hard to say what the effect will be:

If it's true that these indirect costs only contain expenses closely related to the actual research then they can just move to the actual grant with somewhat more accounting overhead. I suspect the universities are doing that accounting already for their internal purposes so it won't be that big a change.

But if it's true that a significant part of them are not related there would need to be significant changes in budgets, and whoever benefits will have a problem.

I suspect the truth is somewhere inbetween. In any case it's a good opportunity for these organizations to figure out how to become more cost effective.
The executive doesn't have to declare a law invalid here. From where I sit the question is whether a budget approved by congress must be spent or should be considered a "do not exceed" spending cap.

There is gray area when Congress says we need a department to manage our education system, for example, and sets a budget. Congress is only approving the spending there, at least to me that means it can be spent but doesn't have to be spent in full.

Now it is the executive branch's job to execute on that department. I think it would be a stretch for them to just not create the department. Their job is to properly and effectively implement what congress asked for though, and it is reasonable for someone coming in to say that what was done in the past isn't meeting Congress's request.

That isn't to say Trump is making a legitimate or reasoned argument in that vein, but the power is there at which point you have a weird legal battle attempting to decide who can make a better case for the success of any specific department. With congress defining little to no metrics for success that battle seems largely to be in the eye of the beholder.

The "why" of existence is part of the human condition, and it's a big reason for the development of individual and societal artistic and intellectual endeavors, including work that happened in pre-civilization by cave dwellers. I'd like to know what I can.
I think this is an increasing trend in opinions (trim the fat, fire the do-nothings, it can't possibly cost that much to produce <insert product>, etc).

It makes sense - the amount that something costs to make always sounds like a lot (especially media, music, film, etc). But, while I have no authority of experience at all, my personal lifetime heuristics tell me that, if you could define the number of dollars something should cost to produce, where spending more isn't worth the quality bump and spending less isn't worth the quality dip, that number would probably be closer to what people are actually spending than whatever number the "that sounds like too much" crowd would come up with.

I mean, it's of course pretty subjective (you can make content at varying levels of quality with equal justifications for each). I just tend to lean toward the "things cost more than you think" direction.

I could be wrong in this case. I don't know. $3500 seems like it's in that range to me (where it sounds like a lot, but might not be for the production level she's aiming for).

Making YouTube videos costs as much as someone wants it to cost. All anyone needs is an smartphone, and maybe a computer if they don't want editing to be annoying.

Doug DeMuro is a great example of this. It's him, wearing whatever he was going to wear that day, looking however he looks, in whatever lighting the weather gives him, with a tripod for a main camera, and an iPhone for interior shots. He hasn't really scaled up production value as he's gotten popular, and I think people appreciate the authenticity.

Even if she had ambitions for high production values, starting simple and scaling up when the channel can financially support it, seems to make much more sense. My guess is she was used to the production and budget of Bon Appétit, where she used to make videos, and was looking to fast track to a similar setup where she just had to care about the cooking.

Ya, I'm just too old for bottomless pits anymore ;-) Patience sorting is still worth study, for its elegance, simple code, and real-world practicality in the context of solving the longest increasing subsequence problem. As a full-blown sorting algorithm, it only excels at reverse-ordered and "low diversity" inputs, but that's in return for very simple, uniform, and easily understood code.

Of course any of these could be changed to use the powersort merge strategy, if desired. It's elegant and principled. But it also exploits that timsort and powersort keep the _number_ of runx simultaneously active no more than log2(N). Needing to keep track of potentially O(N) sublists simultaneously is potentially burdensome.

In any case, I'm most interested in adaptive sorting, since partial order so very often exists in the real world (as you noted that Orson Peters noted, this is often due to "low diversity" as a consequence of sorting on one field of a complex record - but it's more than just that). Thanks to your good explanations, I'm persuaded that JesseSort isn't much more promising than patience sorting in that specific respect (yes, looks like JesseSort can handle ascending order in linear time too). So thanks again!

> To advertise on my channel, that number [CPM] is about $29 per thousand views.

> My RPM is around $10

> Again: It costs $29 per thousand to run an ad in my videos, and I get $10 per thousand. Where does the other $19 go?

You can't combine those two stats like this. CPM is the cost to the advertiser per ad view. RPM is the payout to the creator per video view. But it's not the case that every video will result in exactly one ad view. Sometimes the viewer is blocking ads. Sometimes there's no ad in the inventory for that specific view event.

The issue isn't whether or not it's feasible now.

Reducing usage of fossil fuels is a prisoner's dilemma problem... No country is going to do it if it hurts them in any way.

Also, even if we stopped using all fossil fuels today, cold Turkey, lots of damage is already done. Carbon capture is the only potential way to reverse this and that alone is worth investing in.

It might not be feasible today but that doesn't mean it won't be feasible in 50 years...
> which is to privatize the government.

That isn't clear yet from what I've seen. Destroying or knee capping departments is one thing rebuilding them as private or functionally private organizations is another level.

If they are planning to do this I don't think we've seen any direct signs of it yet, though I don't know how it could be anything other than fascism at that point.
An Australia's worth of kelp farms in the deep ocean might do it too. Tricky parts are supplying the nitrogen fertilizer (upwelling might be enough), automating planting/harvesting (many drones on a wire probably) and fuel costs (offshore rig-based ideally). Sinking the kelp may keep the CO2 on the ocean floor long enough to do the trick, or sink packs of rotting kelp in kelp-plastic membranes for much longer. Bonus is this is all basically bio-fuel, so you're basically growing a renewable oil patch. Drawdown til targets are hit and then you can burn or eat the rest. Also bonus: dampens waves, so seastead potential. Recommended: attach simple motors to the anchored tethers, sinking kelp 30m down during storms or nearby ships to avoid big wave damage and the deepest hulls. Or keep it at that level for just slower growth.
A tree normally is carbon-neutral. Is captures carbon when it grows then releases it when it dies and rots.

Unless you have an ecosystem that prevents rotting (e.g. an anaerobic swamp) in which case you have steady accumulation of carbon (e.g. in a form of peat, which is a fire hazard btw). When people speak of planting trees to capture carbon they rarely mean creating swamps.

> I have never heard of someone on the streets directly for marijuana usage

Yeah, I'm certainly not talking about this class of drugs. The context of the discussion is opioids, and I'm mainly referring to the more destructive ones. I had no issue when marijuana was legalized in my state.

> The poverty is quite related to the costs, and I think that's where I challenge your take.

I'm not sure that represents the whole picture. Beyond relationships, the main thing most people I've met in this situation lost was their job. Followed by whatever housing situation they had. Sure, cost doesn't make it any easier on them, but from my perspective, it was the drug abuse and the resulting cycles of high/low that led to their financial demise.

> The reason why I come back to legalization is that I cannot tolerate the fact we have such massive funding sources for the cartels (and police) in the illegal trade

Yeah, I agree, and I have the same feelings. I just can't, in good faith, support legalization with all I've seen. It's a complicated problem.

You are missing the fact that the US manufacturer is paying more because the US tax system applies sales tax multiple times on inputs as they move through manufacturing steps. Raw materials like steel are often exempt even in the US, but many other business expenses are not. This is outdated approach to taxation. The entire world has moved on to VAT, which taxes only the final sale to the consumer. Foreign countries are not being unfair, as it is not their responsibility to manage the US tax system and keep it efficient - that's the job of the US government.

Had a thought: imagine if it were a subcommand of nginx (whichever fork will accept it) - that’d give it a much wider audience.

Even more impactful would be if analysis always ran at nginx startup. Wouldn’t have to be blocking but getting warned about risks would help more folks configure things more correctly more often.

Either way great to have tools to help with correctly configuring the parts of your infra that are exposed to the wild internet.
My mother died during my second year of college. My father died when I was in my 30s. My mother's parents died before I was born, and my father's had both died by the time I was 10 or so.

We had cats when I was a kid, and two of them died while I was in my early/mid teens. They were "mom's cats", and at the time I didn't understand why it affected her so deeply. It made me sad, to be sure (both cats had been around my entire life up to that point), but I didn't get it. Not until I lost my own cat, anyway.

In a strange way, a way that I sometimes feel bad about, losing my cat hit me harder than losing my parents.

The Beliefs You Never Chose
I’m writing a ten-part series about something we don’t often question — not just who we are, but how we became this way, and how much of it we can actually change.

This first post dives into how we unknowingly absorb our beliefs in childhood and how, by the time we reach adulthood, they feel like undeniable truths—even when they’re just conditioning. Most of us assume our identity is just who we are, but in reality, we were shaped long before we could even think for ourselves. Our beliefs, fears, and limitations weren’t chosen—they were absorbed.

Some people grow up believing in themselves because their environment reinforced growth. Others inherit self-doubt, not because they were born that way, but because the people around them shaped their reality.

Would love to hear from others who’ve recognized this in themselves or questioned how much of their identity was shaped before they could think critically about it.

All the press release mentions is that they are not moving forward on new standards that Biden was pushing for while he was in office. Existing energy efficiency standards for appliances are still in effect.

Sounds like a VP is under a tremendous amount of stress, and took it out on this one employee. This is not professional behavior in the least.

The good news is that he manned-up to his mistake by acknowledging it and apologizing and trying to make amends. I've seen many execs never acknowledge their mistakes for yelling, swearing etc, so I give this guy credit. People make mistakes, and unless this VP has a history of doing the same thing, I would take him for his word and it feels like the firing is water under the bridge.
Hah - yes... typing finger issues :)
These press releases chill me to the bone with how 1984 speak they are. I’ve never seen whole agencies just completely gutted and replaced with nonsense like this before. The executive branch of the government was never meant to have this much power. We didn’t fight a war against a king so that we could just devolve to that again.

The title is in fact correct. They are ending the appliance efficiency standards recently set.

It doesn't say they're ending "all" standards, which is what you're implying.

So you can drop the "flagging for lying".

All the press release mentions is that they are not moving forward on new standards that Biden was pushing for while he was in office.

This is a very odd take. The title is based on the only part of the article that isn't PR fluff and describes what was done:

> Today’s actions postpone the efficiency standards for the following home appliance rules:

Clothes Washers and Dryers
General Service Lamps
Walk-In Coolers and Freezers
