Have you tried Infuse as the playback app on AppleTV?

It’s one of the few apps I’m happy to pay the subscription cost for. Well worth it for a well made AP.

Not trying to make this sound like an ad. It’s just a legit good app.
My personal belief is that there are aliens out there but they aren't as advanced as us so no electricity to send signals or maybe they are too far away to send a signal yet?
Reindustrialization isn't possible because you cannot reduce your costs to China levels, particularly if you clamp down on immigration as well. The best you can hope for is to diversify the supply by industrializing other, geographically and/or ideologically closer countries that can produce at reduced costs and are also more dependent on your economy or your military might. A suite of vassal countries, if you will.
I'm out, that's it for using devenv in my stuff.

I was already put off by the way devenv uses direnv to pull down its nix logic. The latest version I'm willing to use (1.3?) at least hardcodes a permalink to a file in GitHub. The latest version apparently just sets your .envrc to run a non-deterministic devenv command to download and run god-knows-what.

devenv suddenly wresting control of what happens when I cd to my project is unacceptable, especially given this new insistence on telemetry.

It's not just Mastodon. The service I provide also gives accounts at Funkwhale, Lemmy and Matrix.

It's the other way around. Because the instance is only for paying customers, and because the customers know that they put money on the line and will be kicked out if they do anything that violates the ToS, everyone is super nice and the instance is incredibly civil.
But losing weight is a somewhat unhealthy condition, so you have to eat slightly unhealthy with as little side effect as possible to achieve that, no?

As in, preferably taking as much vitamins and micronutrients as practical, with less calories than your body burns within reasonable range.
> The argument for isolating the units from each other is that it is easier to spot a potential bug.

That's not the only argument. The important result of this, is ensuring the "unit" of code is written to be testable. This happens to require it be simple and extensible. It does not enforce making the code or tests comprehensible.

When you don't trust someone's code, have them write detailed unit tests. They will find most of their problems on their own and learn better practices, along the way.

I am, in no way, implying that unit tests are a replacement for integration or behavioral or E2E testing et al...depending on how you want to define those.
I believe you could also use VLC (via DLNA I suppose), since VLC has a direct chromecast integration in the desktop app.

News to me that it’s expensive. 365 business basic includes custom domain email, teams, and the basic office apps for about $6 a month.

Each of your employees costs thousands per month and you’re worried about a <$30 per seat subscription that does basically everything: corporate email, office suite, chat and video conferencing, and probably a bunch of other stuff I’m not thinking of?

You could use LibreOffice for productivity. Might make some of your employees think you’re a cheapskate though.

If you’re a Mac shop you could use Pages/Keynote/Numbers and then keep your meetings under 40 minutes and use Zoom for free. Might make some of your employees think you’re a cheapskate though.
Biofuels as in from farming? Modern farming just turns oil into crops, so turning the crops back into oil is a non-solution. The only viable current biofuels work by turn leftover waste matter into fuel - in other words, recycling.

Also, any farming done for primary energy is farming not done for food.
> You are thinking of a fully automated process, not of the human verification through `diff ocr_output llm_corrected`.

Fair, and I'm aware that that makes a huge difference in how worthwhile an LLM is. I'm glad you're not doing the annoyingly common "just throw AI at it" without thinking through the consequences.

I'm doing two things to flag words for human review: checking the confidence score of the classifier, and checking words against a dictionary. I didn't even consider using an LLM for that since the existing process catches just about everything that's possible to catch.

> I am using LSTM-based engines . . .

I'm using Tesseract 5.5. It could actually be that much better, or I could just be lucky. I've got some pretty well-done scans to work with.

> It's the opposite: for the numbers it could go (implicitly) "are you sure, I have a different figure for that" . . .

I honestly don't know what you mean. Are you saying that an LLM would know that a reference to "page 311" should actually be a reference to "page 317" based on context?

I think the example you've given makes a lot of sense if you're just using an LLM as one way to flag things for review.
> There are things that will react with CO2 and form something that isn't combustible.

Sure. There are plenty of such things. For example, elemental magnesium will happily bind carbon dioxide into pretty inert magnesium carbonate. But to _get_ that elemental magnesium, you need to expend energy, because elemental magnesium can't be found in nature.

There is only one realistic option: rock weathering. Silicate rocks can react with carbon dioxide to produce calcium carbonate and (eventually) silicon dioxide.
there were indeed some networking issues which should now be resolved :)

I live on a small island in Thailand, and here, "becoming Bali" is a term that describes a place that has been over-constructed with bungalows and villas; it has become very crowded and very expensive. Most tropical islands started out as hippie places where all houses were cheap, rudimentary wooden bungalows, but then mass tourism and housing investors moved in and pushed the "original hippie population" out and replaced them with expensive villas. That is what is meant by becoming Bali. My guess for the origin of this expression is that Bali was the first place where this happened.

Jacobson is anti-nuclear in a way that is somewhere on a spectrum between pessimistic and dishonest. His prior belief is that 100% wind/solar is the only way to go and all of his research aims to advance that worldview.
This is pretty great satire because it's a (presumably) working language that's chock-full of ridiculous design decisions that also happen to be in some of the most popular ones that people use every day. You can probably guess which is the chief target of its ire (though there are funnies from a few others peppered in there too).

A Reddit-tier post would be an image macro or Twitter screenshot. Alternatively maybe I find it funny because I've had to listen to lazy developers defend some of these types of decisions with a straight face.

MXRoute plus Nextcloud is a viable groupware alternative, generally at a much lower cost per user.

One of the bonus features being your email is much less likely to disappear within Outlook.com's mailservers. Not sure what is going sideways there, but those mailservers are not reliable and mail traces are ineffective in finding lost emails that have proof of delivery to the MX record listed outlook.com mailserver.

>I personally suspect that all the biomarker stuff are really just the biochemical remnants of processes that begin at the sociocultural level.

That is a bit extreme. The sun is still set to die out in five billion years, regardless how much we talk about it. Its entirely possible that Alzheimer's has an origin which goes beyond any specific social circumstance, though I doubt it.
China has started adding battery electric container ships to it's local shipping fleets. They have also started using some battery electric cargo trains. Now if they can just get off coal for their electricity consumption they are very close to the tipping point. So in my opinion we are getting there in terms of carbon output but I also think it is to late to stop global warming and we have crossed the point of no return already.

At my company, we have been looking at understanding how the beta-amyloid interacts with toxic metals in the brain that lead to formation of plaques. We have been studying the use of quantum computers for such complex reactions. Most of us come from quantum computing and quantum chemistry background, so, relatively low experience with biological aspects. And as we dug deep into the reactions and made some good progress, a few established biologists got interested and asked questions around the beta-amyloid hypothesis itself. So, I dug a little deep into the whole field, most of my information comes from the following article:
https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/faked-beta-amyloid...
After doing some independent reading, following were my big take aways:
- figuring out the truth in this area is incredibly hard. Science already suffers from social quirks like, scientists find it easy to say, 'hey, we replicated the decades-old established results and built something on top of it' rather than risk shaking the fundamentals of the field. All the big shots who did research on Alzheimer's got a lot of money from NIH for decades. Most of the projects were around beta-amyloid and these grants do not stop. So, if suddenly the field agrees that the hypothesis is incorrect, then a lot of people would lose jobs and livelihoods overnight. So, it is not just a scientific problem, the social-economic elements are quite powerful in this field.
- Another fascinating thing I learned was that at this point Alzheimer's and beta-amyloid are quite intertwined. In fact, if a patient has Alzheimer's like symptoms but does not have a high concentration of beta-amyloid plaques then, the doctors may bucket such symptoms another form of dementia, with high probability. Coming from a Physics background, I found it incredibly fascinating that we depend on some loose markers and symptoms to define such complex diseases. And as you may have noticed from some of your personal experiences, symptoms sometimes can overlap in diseases and many times not everyone experiences the same symptoms and in fact a single human may experience different symptoms from getting the same disease.
- So bottom line, not only we do not fully understand the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's, but there's a chance that we do not even understand what even is Alzheimer's.

You should absolutely hand off the security to something else - just exposing this publicly is asking to get hacked.

I use Wireguard for my private online stuff, that works nicely. Expose Jellyfin only on the loopback address and use Nginx to forward your domain to it, then setup your DNS entry to be the VPN address of your server. Just be aware that if you have your own local DNS server then you might need to configure it to allow serving up DNS entries with private network addresses in them, as these are often blocked for security reasons; or else just modify your /etc/hosts equivalent to manually add the mapping.

I kind of agree with you. What I mean is, I guess, is it devolves into unproductive political discussion, lots of stuff being asserted, lots of emotion, and little in the way of facts and evidence.
It uses cheap hobby servos which is, to put it mildly, not the same as steppers. You will never get 0.2mm precision with them. They will were out quickly and even quicker under load.

BTW, looks like it doesn't have closed loop control. "0.2mm repetability" (should be repeAtability) is only 'under certain conditions', no load.

I hear this a lot, but why is it a problem? For most people I encounter ephemerally online, as long as I can't tell the difference, it doesn't matter. If you were an AI, I wouldn't mind. I usually talk to such people to try to understand ideas better and if an AI could provide that, then no problem. If you want some sort of real-world interaction with them, there's a good chance that'll never happen with a real person either. I've had many online friends who I never met but I still felt like I knew them. The AI just has to be good enough never to burst the bubble.

Then there's the opposite problem that we already have to deal with - real people who are effectively AI and not capable of forming a mutual relationship with you, such as narcissists, people with dementia, and celebrities. People can spend years of their lives having a relationship where the other person only really exists in their own mind. Actually it's quite normal to build an internal imaginary model of the people we know which might not actually be correct.

Yes, presumably the approach would be to publish both a current dump of all of the databases every week or month, as well as a daily diff. Even better if it were just given away for free. The challenge would be around monetization and licensing. Even if you only published e.g. the kernel mailing list archive in this way, I could see someone like OpenAI turning around and suing to claim that you had given them copyright over that content rather than just providing the content itself.
You don't understand. Your COBOL code may be 99.99999% right and still cause millions of dollars to vanish :poof: in a flash.

If you avoid watching clickbait thumbnailed videos then you will miss out on a lot of good content. Perhaps you are fine with this but if the implication is that a clickbait thumbnail implies the video is not good, this is an indicator that, at this point has almost no correlation with the video quality. This is because content creators, pretty much have to use clickbait thumbnails to get views or traction, largely because of the way YouTube's "algorithm" works.

b) They attribute all assertions with a confidence level so it does indicate a level of discretion and consideration.

c) Volexity has registered the domains/emails with threat intelligence databases e.g. https://ioc.one/auth/website/90f8c2a0-efeb-4d5e-9d79-afa872e... so they are willing to stand behind their claims.

> "try to make it a clean fusion design" would actually be enough here

Most of fallout in a "regular" nuclear weapon comes from uranium fission by products and from neutrons activating the surrounding materials. In addition, most thermonuclear (fusion) bombs use natural uranium tamper to contain the fusing hydrogen. This tamper soaks up fusion neutrons and fissions, and that actually produces a significant part of the overall yield.

But that's not the only option. It's possible to use a lead tamper instead, so it won't produce any fission byproducts. The Soviet Tsar Bomba did that, and it resulted in the cleanest nuclear explosion on a per-kiloton-basis.

It's also possible to add a boron neutron absorber around the fusion stage to further limit the amount of fusion neutrons that can create dangerous activated materials.

Of course, even a relatively clean weapon is still going to produce plenty of pollution.

What sort of hardware are you using to do transcoding of the content on the source box? You could try adjusting the quality (or type) of the transcoding to potentially improve this. Like, perhaps you are trying to transcode into a format for which your video card doesn't have built-in encoding? (Like, nvenc units on an nvidia chip, if that's what you have.)

You could also try setting up directplay, if your stack supports that.

Lastly, it might just be a limitation of your host hardware. What are you running your jellyfin server on?

Bears with baby elks, cats with their prey, orcas playing catch with baby seals... none of them come close to what humans are capable of when they put their reasoning to work in service of inflicting agony.

Have you ever visited a museum exhibit on torture? The engineering creativity that has gone into exploiting physiology and psychology to cause unendurable, unimaginable pain is astonishing. You'll want to look away. You'll want to forget, to believe once again that cats are worse... but cats are to a first order approximation indifferent to suffering, in contrast to humans hellbent on maximizing it.

JumpCrisscross is taking a techno-optimist's perspective, but while I personally believe that humans should voluntarily seek to serve as "ethical guardians" and to minimize "sentient suffering", I don't trust them to do it. Not as individuals, since empathy is a weak force compared with first-person pain. Not as cogs within societies where inflicting pain is often a means to gaining and maintaining power.
This is all too often an invalid criticism.

At least 8,000 (that's just what I can see mounted under Jellyfin here locally).

Probably supports many more, for the collection here the thumbnail browsing, presentation, metadata display etc. isn't bad (MusicBee does it better) but as a media support under the Jellyfin umbrella component it's not the worst.

It's weak on support of FullAlbum.flac with TrackIndex.Cue arrangements though.

MusicBee present those as individual tracks with jump to track and shuffle options whereas Jellyfin (as of today) has them a single blob of audio start to finish.

Cue support is on the issues list (although issue support has a slow turnover thanks to the small time).
