I've got a ~80k library and it seems to handle it ok. Scanning isn't very fast, but it does pull up a lot of cover art and artist profile pictures, so that may be why. It doesn't seem to respond at all to changing tags for files it has already scanned, so far the only solution was removing the library entirely and re-adding it which is tedious.

It supports drilling down by Album Artists which is a minimum requirement for nay big and diverse music library. Genres seem to work fine, you can select one and it will at least list all albums under that, but no option to change the grouping to artists or something else exists.

The web interface does ok at first when loading a big playlist. For example, trying to play my OC-Remix collection which is essentially an album composed of ~4k songs works for the first few songs and moving around the playlists is somewhat smooth, but picking a song at 1000 place or so just awaits forever. I don't know whats up with that.

The playing queue is very terse and doesn't like listing the track number, artist nor even the album (it does show a thumb sized album art for each entry but good luck with that). This is a very dumbed down mobile centric design, could do much better here...

All in all I would advise just trying out more than one media server. Jellyfin is ok-ish for music and great for videos but if you are gonna go trough all the work of setting that up it doesn't cost much more to also setup something like Navidrome which will give you a decent subsonic instance which is compatible with many clients and will likely give you a better experience when handling big and diverse music libraries. That said, Navidrome's built-in web client is pretty bare-bones, so you are gonna have to rely on the "native" clients more.

For example, you can use Strawberry's subsonic feature to access your Navidrome's library on a pretty damn good interface for music nerds who feel comfortable on "spreadsheet" like interfaces. No tag editing, but you don't usually want to expose your library with write permission on these services anyway. But it does pick up on tag changes if you tell it to a complete re-scan which takes ~15 minutes.

>These government systems by necessity are not very complex

I don't believe this is correct. CMS has a bunch of their source code on their website. The COBOL parts are quite expansive and there is probably a whole lot more out there: https://www.cms.gov/PricerSourceCodeSoftware

Look, I have no issue with wanting to modernize government systems. An organization I used to idolize, the US Digital Service, did this as their full time gig... and most of them were just axed. I'm not sure a few 19 year olds are going to do better than this organization. It's hard work.
You can likely get by with Google Docs. The only issue is legal docs so maybe only a few or one person needs a license.

> the drama around the integration of skip intro

what are you referring to?
I just gave it a shot, by running:

$ podman run --rm -it -p 8096:8096/tcp jellyfin/jellyfin

And I get the "Welcome to Jellyfin!" page, which lets you set the language/setup a user account. So I think in general if you are just running the OCI image it is not typically expected to see the server list. (I'm sure it's still possible to get to, and presumably you can wind up there if some RPC fails.)

That said, I might've found a clue: if you re-run it, you get another randomized hostname, and then you get the server select page. If I clear cookies and reload, it again skips the server select page. So it seems like if you have the hostname of your jellyfin instance change, say, by starting a new Docker container with a different name, but have it accessible at the same place, that might cause this weirdness.

Other issues may include improperly configured reverse proxies. (If you're using a reverse proxy, you should make sure it's configured right for Jellyfin's websockets and CORS usage and potentially some other stuff.)
The Sims is one of my all-time favorite games. Reading these documents have been such a surprising delight and are a huge dose of nostalgia for play this game in my childhood, but now (>20 years later) I have a huge respect for how well-thought out and absolutely massive the whole game is. I especially enjoyed the TheSimsDesignDocumentDraft3-DonsReview.doc writeup, such as the `Other game elements` section because it shows how daunting it is to do a life sim game like this and do it well. Thank you for sharing!
Nowhere – I don’t follow the issue. The question was for those people who are somehow convinced that it’s complete chaos. In my experience, complete chaos is very rare, but fake reports of chaos in every field are a daily occurrence. If you believe every report of chaos that comes along, you’ll believe the world is ending every day. Which it obviously has not, yet. It follows that most reports of chaos are always false. Therefore, if you believe that some specific issue is really as chaotic as reported, you’ll have to have some pretty good sources to back that up.
Worth adding that:

vaccine-associated renal AE reports

is more or less as meaningful as

tax-filing-associated renal AE reports

in the sense of correlation with semi annual event (for the most part) and that while "renal AEs [adverse events]" probabilities are indeed very very small in number, the percentage of those renal AEs that have "Serious clinical outcomes" are in the 10 - 20% range (not every adverse event is clinically serious, most are not).
If you only include sufficiently dense areas, what percentage of the population do you get? I suspect it's still high enough to make a big difference.

And, honestly, I think some number of people would be willing to move into denser areas if there was good transit, so it's a problem that might work to solve itself in time.
> These government systems by necessity are not very complex, because the hardware at the time did not have capacity for anything too complex.

This is possibly one of the most absurd takes I've read on HN in a while. I'm imagining someone trying to learn how a PC game programmed in Assembly works going 'how hard could it be, PCs in the 90s weren't that complex'

I love thinking basketball but think he completely missed the point here. An apt quote is when he's talking about how much strategy the game has and says "its like high speed chess." The problem is that people dont want to watch high speed chess. The NBAs job is to be as entertaining as possible, not just as strategic as possible. Like it or not iso plays are entertaining even if theyre "bad basketball" in terms of winning. He says the only thing thats changed is that people take less mid range shots and more 3s as if thats a good thing but the league has replaced entertaining sets where you have to actually beat your defender with shooting contests(even if you have to run around a lot or step back to get the shot off) and the product has suffered because of it.

I think defense is a lot more interesting now and the media has done a horrible job capitalizing on that but end of the day people care more about offense.

This is not something you want to go cheap on. iPhones are flat out better hardware than everything shown. I went down the Android route for Omnipod/G6. Was horrible UX and unreliable. (For a while, the OmniPod app would only work on <10 Android phone models. Ugh).

The requirement he missed is Dexcom Remote. That’s not a “cheap” phone thing.

Algorithm, hardware and funding advances have made LLM/AI/ML etc more feasible than ever before. The success of wrapper startups remains to be determined by the value of the solved problems. The most lucrative solutions typically require deep domain expertise in addition to the technical expertise.

The danger for startups is creating complex technical solutions in search of worthwhile problems.

Large companies, just like Microsoft, Oracle, etc in the past, will continue to see the most lucrative niches and either acquihire or build-it-themselves. Using their extensive sales network then outsell the previously successful startups.

Tired of and a bit amused by the Betamax trope. When VHS debuted with a two hour recording time, Betamax couldn’t hold more than an hour’s worth of video, making it a horrible fit for most films and sports. The workarounds for this involved compromising the picture quality advantage. Beta was also more expensive. This was not some case of being outmarketed, or unlucky: Betamax was worse technology than VHS. And while git’s design leaves much to be desired (which modern VCSs like jj make clear), there is a helluva lot of great technology in it.

If your private club is a business whose job it is to grow, that seems very not private club.

I've been to some local private golf clubs (usually have golf and social events) and they involved families (pools being the draw there) and for the most part their efforts are around stability rather than continuous growth. That seems almost like the only way to do this thing and feel private.

If your income tax goes up a lot, you have a ton more wealth. Which means that a small downsizing to match the same tax level leaves you with a bunch of cash.

That's exactly what should happen in a productive economy: big cash payments to give up underutilized land to somebody who can make better use of it.

People talk about taxing granny out of her house, but they conveniently forget to mention that granny is keeping half a dozen people homeless by hoarding an underutilized property.
The real problem is the amount of ads and game breaks. Everyone knows basketball is about the fourth quarter so the league has backloaded ads. Now it routinely takes 20-30 minutes to get through the last 6 minutes of a game. Completely breaks the flow of the best part of the show. Second problem is that with the play in 2/3 of the teams make the post season so there is little incentive to try for a top seed anymore.

You're much more up to date on the details of recent developments than I am. It's faded into a background interest (although a persistent one) for me.

One thing that wasn't clear to me about JesseSort: in what way(z) are Rainbows believed to be an improvement over the simpler scheme used by the older "patience sorting"? They both maintain a collection of sorted sublists merged at the end, both use binary search to find the right sublist to add "the next" array element to, and both excel at "low diversity" inputs (if there are K distinct values, patience sorting will build at most K sublists).

As I recall, full-blown patience sorting isn't "naturally stable". Searching through the JesseSort paper, I didn't find it addressed, and the details were too fuzzy to guess offhand. While this is in no way a principled objection, it just _seemed_ "too complicated" to me. Then again, my intuition for such things has served me well before ;-)

> All you need is napkin maths. We gain energy by turning carbon into carbon dioxide. Now, we need the same energy to reverse it, but with a loss factor.

I think you're forgetting location and energy sources are
a big factor here. Nobody is suggesting burning carbon to capture carbon. If you could somehow e.g. use nuclear power in the middle of the continent to capture carbon emitted across the world - that would be incredibly useful, even if you had to put in twice as much power as you had obtained originally.

(I am not suggesting carbon capture is a particularly good idea, just pointing out that your napkin math ignores some key factors.)

You are a bit behind. All the "deep research" tools, and paid AI search tools in general, combine LLMs with search. When I do research on you.com it routinely searches a 100 sites. Even Google searches get Gemini'd now. I had to chuckle because your very link provides a demonstration.

Overfitting to Theories of Overfitting
Analytics leads to teams converging on the same strategy, at least on offense. The data makes it clear that you should almost never being taking mid rangers or running iso sets. So now those plays are gone from the game.
This blog post was likely inspired by an article published by Bloomberg yesterday, about how basketball had fallen into an efficiency trap, centered around avoiding mid-range shots in favor of threes and high percentage close range shots.
I have explained this across multiple threads for multiple people.

To put it simply, VAT-based countries have a built-in trade advantage because their exported goods leave the country tax-free, while US goods do not get equivalent tax relief when exported.

You are right that VAT is a consumption tax and is paid by the consumer in the destination country.

However, given the choice, a consumer will typically choose the cheaper option which is often the option that does not carry embedded tax costs from the country of origin. Since VAT refunds remove tax from exports, goods from VAT-based economies often have a competitive price advantage in global markets.

Basketball is not football. It is a five man game where one player can have an outsized impact.

Superstars not only impact the makeup of their teams roster, they impact the composition of rosters across the league. When Shaq was in his prime teams used to carry extra big men to have more fouls to give.

The most recent iteration of the league was teams going for small ball with three point shooting wings to compete with the Warriors. Right now you see serious contenders in the western conference going for size to make it past Jokic. The next iteration will be the Wemby stoppers.

Before Wilt and Dr J you had Oscar Robertson, Pistol Pete Maravich, Jerry West, Rick Barry, George Milan, etc. The league has always revolved around stars.
Lots of youtube videos are not the well-organized presentations you describe, but instead have a minute or two of good information with ten minutes of meandering asides, background you already know, and other fluff. Some are well-disguised clickbait. A good summary prevents a lot of time wasting.

As for the good videos, I can't watch them all. If I can skim a good summary, I can decide whether, for me, this video is worth watching, or ignoring, or just reading the summary more carefully.
Bhutan's Dark Secret to Happiness
Reading the comments on Gina Trapani's "My Life in Weeks" submission I was surprised by how many commenters found the shortness of life terrifying or horrifying.

I read of the Bhutanese practice of contemplating death several times a day years ago. I found it to be very liberating and continue to practice it in my own way. When I get stressed out I think about the fact that I'm going to die. Often this brings makes me laugh out loud or smile. Not that I want to die, but it reminds me that more often than not that thing I'm stressing about just isn't that important.

I watched my mother and my grandmothers take their last breaths. All of their deaths saddened me and I - a grown man of 50 - still get teary eyed when I see the 14 year old girl's headstone a few plots away from my mother's. Jeez, even now I'm misting up thinking about her.

But, while I feel grief and sadness, I don't cling to it. The dark days make the light days brighter. Death, something we can't escape - would I want to? - is part of the circle of life. Heck, it's the circle of the universe from what little I know of astrophysics and cosmology.

Maybe I'm a weirdo. I don't have much money. My little hatchback has 260,000 miles on it. I don't care. I feel free. I can sit and enjoy a sunset without the pull to be doing something else.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, but, for me, life is better and valued more when we recognize and accept the impermanence of it all. To each their own.

For an extreme example of being very comfortable with death, I encourage you to read up on the Tibetan sky burial. Warning: the description can be very graphic. If you find Trapani's post disturbing this may not be for you. Right now anyway.

I never figured out the payroll tax thing. I was working for the overseas affiliate of an American company, but never had SS/medicare withheld for anything but my dividend income. I also paid Chinese payroll taxes, and they obviously don't have a totalization agreement with the US.

As far as state income tax goes, the only state you really need to worry about is CA, who doesn't recognize foreign residency as an excuse against paying CA tax, especially if they claim you are still a resident because you own a home in CA.
