I don't watch YouTube but if I would / I would if I'd cut out anything with faces or speech & use an LLM to summarize what's technically relevant from the transcript in a way that fits length of what remains.

Pipeline such content, but use weighted random videos, with low weights for types of content with clickbait headings & perhaps blacklist for words like meme or lol in transcript to cut out things with stock footage. I am not sure of exact best way to remove it, actually, other than "using the transcript for some computational technique of probabilitistic stock footage prediction" which I bet would be most effective.
> The Verge article was incomplete and misleading because it says nothing about affiliates (doesn't even mention the word) and says the bookstore always gets all the profit from any referral.

It also doesn’t mention whether they take UnionPay or how easy it is to park outside their office, so yeah, if it’s trying to be a compendium of human knowledge related to the website Bookshop.org, I guess it is pretty incomplete. Possible that it isn’t, though.

Affiliate links are to Bookshop’s main site, not one of their cobranded bookstore storefronts. When you buy from the main site, the affiliate who linked you there gets 10% and bookstores and Bookshop split the rest, as they always do. When you buy from a bookstore storefront, the store gets 30% directly. As far as I can tell, there are no affiliate links to bookstore storefronts, so your question isn’t applicable.

> We are stumbling fools without systems and rules (organizations, institutions, laws, regulations, ...) to rely on.

There are no organization or institutions or anything else that matters: only people matter. If people don't bother to have integrity then "institutions" (or anything based around them) are irrelevant.

"There are no institutions, only people." — https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1231219728619835395 (possibly quoting Papandreou)

In the US context:

> Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks—no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

If one of your family members was killed because of Brian Thompson using an bot to auto deny valid medical claims, among hundreds of thousands of others, you'd consider him a mass murderer too.

Do you have an argument about why you think what he did wasn't mass murder? Do you not like the specific term, do you think he should have been prosecuted but disagree with the wording, what's your actual position or are you just going to make vague irrelevant platitudes? (Left right politics isn't even relevant to this issue either)
There’s nothing you could do on a C64 that you couldn’t do on a modern computer. It’s just that doing that on a vastly more complex and capable system is intrinsically more complicated.

An interesting experience is trying to run a program on an emulated 60’s mainframe OS. 1960’s and 1970’s mainframes were about on the same league of 1980’s and 1990’s home computers, but a lot more complicated and with much more control over the low level details. It gives an interesting perspective on how software complexity tracks hardware capabilities.

Left-leaning political ideology implies regulation?

What about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism

A more convincing argument for me would detail the regulatory frameworks that lead to economic stagnation, not bucketing a whole continent in an attempt to correlate a glut of regulation with economic stagnation.

News from the time the rigs were sold were relatively clear https://spacenews.com/spacex-drops-plans-to-covert-oil-rigs-...

Shotwell said "They were not the right platform" and that they needed "to first start launching Starship and better understand that vehicle before building offshore launch platforms".

The stated goal of Starship is that the booster can be refueled and relaunched from the recovery tower within hours. So "launch platform" is a misnomer, these guys are ideally also recovery platforms (with the chopsticks and all that). In addition, even if an offshore platform could work for booster recovery, it still needs a Starship to be stacked. There's probably a bunch of concern about having a Starship sitting around in the open near a booster recovery (the exact effect of blast/debris around a booster recovery is probably one thing they'd want to characterize).
Sorry that happened to you. It’s understandable that you would feel that way.

Ask HN: Resource for AI/agent design patterns?
I am looking from some options for design patterns and UX for AI, with a focus on agents. Right now it seems everything is a chat bot, but I am not convinced that’s a great pattern for a lot of applications. Does anyone have resources for agent UX ideas?
Eh, the way I see it the entire practice of computer science and software engineering is built on abstraction -- which can be described as the the ability to not have to understand lower levels -- to only have to understand the API and not the implementations of the lowest levels you are concerned with, and to have to pay even less attention to lower levels than that.

I want to understand every possible detail about my framework and language and libraries. Like I think I understand more than many do, and I want to understand more, and find it fulfilling to learn more. I don't, it's true, care to understand the implementation details of, say, the OS. I want to know the affordances it offers me and the APIs that matter to me, I don't care about how it's implemented. I don't care to understand more about DNS than I need. I definitely don't care to spend my time futzing with kubernetes -- I see it as a tool, and if I can use a different tool (say heroku or fly.io) that lets me not have to learn as much -- so I have more time to learn every possible detail of my language and framework, so I can do what I really came to do, develop solutions as efficiently and maintainably as possible.

You are apparently interested in lower levels of abstraction than I am. Which is fine! Perhaps you do ops/systems/sre and don't deal with the higher levels of abstraction as much as I do -- that is definitely lucrative these days, there are plenty of positions like that. Perhaps you deal with more levels of abstraction but don't go as deep as me -- or, and I totally know it's possible, you just have more brain space to go as deep or deeper on more levels of abstraction as me. But even you probably don't get into the implementation details of electrical engineering and CPU design? Or if you do, and also go deep on frameworks and languages, I think you belong to a very very small category!

But I also know developers who, to me, dont' want to go to deep on any of the levels of abstraction. I admit I look down on them, as I think you do too, they seem like copy-paste coders who will never be as good at developing efficient maintainable soltuions.

I started this post saying I think that's a different axis than what layers of abstraction one specializes in or how far down one wants to know the details. But as I get here, while I still think that's likely, I'm willing to consider that these developers I have not been respecting -- are just going really deep in even higher levels of abstraction than me? Some of them maybe, but honestly I don't think most of them, but I could be wrong!
US is not exempt because it accumulates throughout the entire process whereas VAT is refunded. US bakes the sales tax on acquired parts from their suppliers into the cost of their exported products whereas the EU exporters have an advantage. It’s a structural problem with the US tax system in this case.

Only other thing I would like to add is CASH.

I've always thought the point of philosophy, and of philosophers, was to provide some ultimate salient, some final read-out, at the furthest point of a way of thinking. One can then sample from these positions, or use them as lenses through which to see their various experiences and understanding of the world. Today nobody serious is going to "live as Kant would" or Nietzsche or Wittgenstein.
Speaking of Nietzsche, I don't think Midgley was the first to remark on the fact most philosophers were single men.

> What are you talking about, seriously

It's probably unavoidable that people's memories will differ, but personally, as someone who worked with Java 10–15 years ago and then ran away as fast as he could, these are the things I remember most: the IDEs being awfully slow and unstable (though quite powerful for their time) and the language/ecosystem being painfully verbose and full of boilerplate and layers of indirection. I remember how, after switching away from Java, I felt elated by how easy and maintainable things could be when I was allowed to use simple, fast tools and write straightforward code that just did what it was supposed to do.
When I was financially comfortable and not busy I did my very worst work and ultimately wasted my time. I didn't come up with a solution, but I think aggressive timelines which you always keep to are probably the answer.
The issue is that GCed languages get a bad rep, while the amount of allocated and freed objects is the same in GCed and non-GCed languages.
Ive had this experience with team-specific vocab where certain terms organically end up having terms with two or more conflicting meanings and it was horrendous. It led to all sorts of bugs, misunderstandings and even arguments.

Even worse, most people didnt realize there was a problem coz they always knew what they meant.

The only time I managed to work past it was by convincing everyone to never use that term again - burning it to the ground - and agreeing to replace it with two or more new, unambiguous terms.

Id love to burn "unit test" and "integration test" to the ground but nobody outside my team listens to me :)

Id probably replace them with:

* code coupled

* interface coupled

* high level

* low level

* xUnit

* faked infrastructural

* deployed infrastructural

* hermetic / non hermetic

* declarative / non declarative
LOL, no. Rust is not eating javascript but COMPILED languges are, and only in the build pipeline. Rust does not matter, even Go is far more superior than anything in JS land.

Eg. My webpack builds in 35 seconds. The i try esbuild and it does the same job in 35ms. Insane! Ok now lets try rust, now i get 20ms. Wow!

Do i care about 35ms -> 20ms? Nope, not one bit. I just want it to compile under 1second.
Sure but why not, say, an XYZ or XYZT gantry instead?

There are a lot of downsides in 'arms' -- stacking all the axis hurts their speed, stiffnes, accuracy, increase complexity (e.g. in pathing, limiting speed, restricting to safe areas), limited reach.

I've always thought of them primarily as beneficial for flexibility at considerable cost, but if it's not 6dof then the flexibility isn't so great, then why not some other geometry?

On Windows one can change how a date is rendered, without changing the locale. I need to look up if this is propagated to browsers.

Also, I hate DOB selectors which don't allow me to manually enter the date, and default to today, and don't have a year << arrow. Only month.

Now I need to click at least (age - 1) * 12 on the < arrow.

In general, I wish more websites would use native date / number / dropdown pickers.

Nobody is making this argument for JS tooling.

The article does mentions GC, but that's just demonstrating differences between JS and Rust.

The other popular JS-tooling alternative is esbuild, which is built in Golang, which has a GC.

If anything, the two most common arguments in favor of Rust for this specific use case are null-pointer safety and speed.

I don't think I could agree less. Numba has always had too many errors, bugs, and too inconsistent of a performance gain. Moreover, Python has always been a glue language where numerous packages interact together to form functionality, and this glue usage makes no sense with Numba.

I would actually agree with you on that in the case of Twitter, but in what sense is that comparable to the current situation? Unless you mean that Musk is succeeding by destroying a bunch of American assets (i.e. the agencies) and then being lauded for this destruction. I could see that value once again going to Musk (and Trump), but in what sense would that value not be lost by your average US citizen? It's not like Musk bought these agencies before destroying them, he's just destroying them. He's no longer burning his own house down for life insurance, he's burning your house down for life insurance.

Please break down how a 200k Caterpillar becomes 55k more expensive for a German buyer compared to a 200k Liebherr manufactured in Germany.

The US government does not charge consumption taxes on a Caterpillar exported to Germany, so both are priced at 200k before taxation in Germany. The German government charges its 19% consumption tax equally, regardless of where a bulldozer was made, so both end up costing 238k for the German buyer.
I'm patiently waiting for resynthesizer to be ported. Then I will make the move to 3.0.

Dugin had ideas of spheres of influence. Roughly speaking, he thought that America should be dominated by the US, Europe/Africa by the EU and Asia by Russia.

This however coincides with the much older ideas of the technocracy movement, which was championed by Musk's grandfather Haldeman:

So it is not necessarily Russia driven, but surely RT has recently published an article that defends the Technate (RT is blocked, so here is a copy):

Europe is a bit slow in picking up on all this: Russia, the US and China are carving up the world and Macron calls a summit to determine how to make Russia and China eternal enemies. The EU (and Ukraine!) have been played since 2008/2014.
Java checked exceptions are (were?) a wonderful feature that was wrongly dissed for the same reason Java types and IDEs were dissed. It forced people to handle exceptions or pass them up the call stack but they had to be dealt with. And IDEs were aware of them so not catching or rethrowing was immediately flagged by the IDE.

I give it five years until Typescript and peers adds checked exceptions.
> On top of that, mass media controls the narratives way too hard - just look how fast Luigi Mangione got out of the news.

People say this a lot, but it seems just as likely to me that the media is simply reflecting what we care about. Coverage fades because, broadly speaking, people have moved on from the story. Even more "intellectual media" like the Atlantic has moved on from it. I get that it’s uncomfortable to acknowledge, but an equally plausible explanation is that the public is far more interested in Blake Lively’s lawsuit than in Mangione or the state of healthcare in the U.S.

Yes, it’s a symbiotic relationship, but I think people are often too eager to blame a shadowy cabal rather than recognizing that it’s often just a reflection of what society actually values. Probably because, as stated, dismantling mass media seems like something that could possibly happen while changing the entirety of a nation is essentially impossible.

This is a strange distinction. So something is garbage because it is not used? In Rust, a Vec is only deallocated at the end of the function, regardless of when it is actually stopped being used. Are those garbage too?

At this point, garbage just means whatever does not follow RAII. And RAII is not the best solution either. For throughput reasons, GC languages can be siginificantly faster exactly because it doesn't have to clean those "garbage" at every step.
