Yeah, I see what you mean! When we say 3D here, we mean working with actual 3D scenes—models, depth, and lighting—rather than the '3D movie' style like Pixar. The goal is to use 3D to control AI generations more precisely, so things stay consistent across frames instead of AI hallucinating every frame from scratch."

Your experience with Minimax sounds cool! Adding 'animated' to the prompt helping consistency makes sense—AI models often struggle with structure, so any guidance helps.
History is absolutely replete with "technologists" underestimating the difficulty of transforming complex government systems. Health, education, why not add aviation safety to the list.
I guarantee this will be the case, as it's been the case every election since forever including 2020 when liberals were fear-mongering (like they always do) when they were out of power.
Article 2 says “the executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” That means the power to “enforce laws, manage national affairs, and oversee government agencies.”

It’s Congress’s role to allocate funds to certain purposes, and the President’s to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” including overseeing the bureaucracy that implements them.

The President already has dictatorial power over the bureaucracy, as per the Constitution.

The USA is not just a democracy, it is a republic. Trump is not all-powerfull for 4 years because he won one election.

If you think so, then I can see a future Democrat president curtailing the 2nd amendment via executive fiat. You happy with that? This is how democracy works, right?
all right, maybe it is a spectrum.

That's been my impression too, seems like people (even more Americans) are extremely uneducated about the whole process of fascism. Instead they end up with this cartoonesque picture of what it looks like: SS officers standing guard over concentration camps, Hitler's speeches to huge crowds wearing swastika armbands, war.

No, that's the fucking end point of it, after all is done and the wheels have been far gone from the wagon, the process itself is much more nuanced and step-wise but the uneducated ones never ever heard of it. Feels like they live in a world where someone turned on a switch and everything changed at once...

Worst: it's coming from people who have lived through a pandemic, watched the social strife and divisions unfolding right in front of their faces, how can those same people not see that massive social movements aren't ever clear-cut? It's all just so stupid and ignorant.
Why glasses? Why not a headband / bandeau / frontlet / taenia?
There is a high level of remedially about this. For a starters, if you're trying to make it in a profession you should already be keenly aware of these things, if you are not, you should be doing proper research and conversing with other real humans who are experts as, through that method you gain considerably more than just this list.

I can't think that producing a new abstraction of a signal that was already readily available in a way that is less information rich not more, is a good way to be competitive in the job market. Basically: it's lazy and encourages others to be lazy, and it's lazy in the worst kind of way (lazy that seems it isn't).
> Jim Keller says a 'great Intel' is worth $1T

But the market and it seems the board/management don't think a 'great Intel' is achievable or likely and the best way for the shareholders to get $1T is to sell bits of the company for the best price and invest elsewhere.
There's more at stake than cost. Steel, electronics, and vehicle production are strategic capabilities, essential to fighting a long war. And even if no major war ever happens again, importing the inputs to an economy leaves the country vulnerable to sanctions or to being undercut when the nation providing the inputs moves up the tech stack.

For too long Americans have preferred immediate profit over long-term capacity.

> Instead, understand your own economy and what actually makes sense to produce locally. Of which there is plenty - really the US economy is doing pretty well

I'm curious what you're referring to here. It seems to me that China is catching up in most of the industries where America is still competitive (e.g. computing, pharmaceuticals, vehicles).

I'd say our economy is mostly floating on our military strength and the financial system it protects, but that won't last without a tech or manufacturing advantage.
Cute but useless.

* 99% of jobs advertised online are fake, including HN's Who's Hiring. They are posted just because some manager wanted to fake growth, wanted to pretend fairness for a position that will be given to patronage, forgot to remove an add posted long ago, etc. Like in online dating, online job postings is mostly a scam.

* The "most wanted" skills are somewhere between the "junior skills that are necessary but not sufficient" and "rat race". They are the skills most likely to be replaced by AI or cheaper workers from 3rd world countries.

I've applied for online jobs, I've been through the pain.

There are only 3 ways of applying to online jobs that preserve your emotional health:

* Use an automated tool like loopcv, Sonara, Jobscan, LazyApply, SimplifyJobs, Massive, etc. Yes, they're crappy. But with enough quantity, quality of application becomes irrelevant.

* let recruiters find you, don't search for them

* look for positions in fora dedicated to specific/niche technologies (e.g.: Reddit, Dischord, etc).
Re-reposting this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28502232 by https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=heymijo from the 2021 HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28500508 of this Smithsonian article on leaded gasoline https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/leaded-gas-poison-... . The MentalFloss article about Clair Patterson is especially good. Pasting the comment in full (again, this is heymijo's work not mine):

> Two beliefs became entrenched:

1. that lead is natural to the human body, and

2. that a poisoning threshold for lead existed

Robert Kehoe, working for GM, was the chief advocate for leaded gasoline, and really the only person/lab doing research on lead until Clair Patterson stumbled into it while measuring the age of the earth. [0,1]

A modern equivalent might be if Facebook was the only organization researching social media's impact on society, while being able to set the paradigm/assumptions about said safety for half a century.

So even when Patterson's research was published in 1965, it took time to change the paradigm, and more time to phase out lead's use.

Should anyone want to read a narrative about the intertwined lives of Midgley, Patterson, Kehoe and lead, then this Mental Floss article is a good read. [2]

What it says is bad enough. Those agencies are independent for a reason. They're not supposed to be the president's political agents. Loss of that independence is a serious, damaging thing.

Next question: Why does Trump want control of those agencies? General principles? People around him told him to? Ego (proving that he's the Big Man In Charge)? Or does he actually intend to use that power? If so, for what?

This is a big deal. This is reducing the US federal government's ability to competently govern, and that's going to hurt, in concrete ways, before too long. If this stands, we're going to regret it.

If. I still have hope for the court system to overturn this.
Recruiters conflate skills with technologies. Or perhaps the author does. I feel like a skill is something that doesn’t go away if a particular business folds.

This might seem nitpicky, until you’ve had a recruiter ask how skilled you were in JIRA and demands you tell them a story about a time when you used advanced JIRA skills to solve a problem. It becomes a checklist of things that really don’t matter that much compared to actual skills.

Employers, this is also why you can’t find good candidates. They might not have a lot of “skills” in the way they’re being defined.
In that case you took a gamble and you lost. That's how gambling works.

If you don't want to gamble then sell the stocks, that way you are not surprised by later changes.

We and several other startups tried this, and we even filed a few patents.

1. The users with experience and patience for this are slim. Blocking out a scene and the animation are tough, and the users with this skill and inclination are using Blender and ComfyUI already or are submitting renders to RunwayML V2V. We're still too early for AI auto rigging and animation to work, though those technologies will make this approach easier.

2. AI video users want I2V quality and predictability, not unpredictable V2V style transfer. You need control over the exact look and feel of the starting frame as well as the animation. If you can't get this, the renders are useless.

3. One of the advantages of AI video is that it can animate things a human animator cannot easily do. Non-humanoids, crowd movements, explosions, etc.

Basically, this requires deep integration with a new class of video model.

You'll find that even with this technology perfected, it fits into a comprehensive suite of tools that AI video creators will use. They will still lean on I2V for most shots and V2V compositing for other shots.

I've done a lot of hands-on interviews and demos. Steve May, various studios, schools, etc. Steve kind of negged me and told me there are bigger players working on this. My guess was Odyssey Systems at the time, but they turned out to be working on something else.

I do think this is a valuable technology, but there's a tremendous amount of work to do to make it work.
As a person who's somehow managed to build something innovative, I believe you can.

Look for Redis, MongoDB and millions of other companies

My problem, ultimately, was that my SCM muscles were extremely overworked and felt like I was hiding two brautwursts in my neck - the muscles were so tight that they were pinching some kind of nerves and sending referred pain to my head and eyes. After changing back to a spring mattress the muscles softened and returned to normal and the pain subsided.

I think that since I am a side sleeper (and have desperately tried other positions with no luck), that my body was sinking in to the bed but my head was not and so my neck muscles were compensating to try to "hold" my head/neck all night long, causing them to become overworked and fatigued.

I suspect people who sleep on their back or stomach have different experiences; my wife sleeps on her back and found the Casper to be comfortable but ultimately she got tired of the 'soft' edge of the bed which was not easy to sit on without sliding off, so she shopped for a spring mattress - and once my pain subsided we were able to put the timeline together.
I dunno, I have lots of photos of kids on my phone just like I described. It's true, sometimes they do do that, but also, because I take so many, they got over it.
Broadcom is a very hostile and abusive company. That would be the end of Intel chips.

Things Broadcom would do: sell you a chip, nerf if after a year and charge you a subscription to unnerf.

Look at what they did to VMWare. If you were a VMWare customer you were and are in deep shit right now. The fact this conversation between Intel and the Grim Reaper is taking place means everybody, from consumers to OEMs to clouds need to divest away from Intel today.

Sell what you have while you still can get some cash for it and remove it from consideration for any future plans.

I've found modularity to be helpful in general whether there's an LLM or not.

Easier to test, lower cognitive overload, and it's faster to onboard someone when they only need to understand a small part at a time.

I almost wonder if these LLMs can be used to assess the barrier for onboarding. If it gets confused and generating shitty suggestions, I wonder if that could that be a good informal smoke alarm for trouble areas the next junior will run into.

This is where pseudoscience comes from. You dropped acid and think it helped you but you probably tried many different things before acid which "didn't work". In all likelihood the acid had nothing to do with it; it was just a coincidence that your symptoms improved.

Also, it's common to have a lot of migraines for a period in your life and then stop having them. Or sometimes the reverse. I used to get very painful migraines about twice a year. Eventually that stopped. I still get migraines a couple times a year but they're quick "silent migraines" i.e. not painful, just annoying and disorienting.

I have not; we had a spring "pillow top" mattress and I got the Casper on a whim as a gift for the wife, but after a few years she had enough of the edge of the bed being so soft and hard to sit on without sliding off and she shopped for another coil spring mattress. Haven't tried a latex one, but it sounds like possibly a good combination of both, I may investigate that

Hey everyone,
I'm a 2x non-technical founder that has postponed learning the basics of coding for too long.
2024 changed that and now I'm shipping my first solo products. This is the #4.

Out of everything I’ve explored through my self-development journey, Stoicism stands out for its practicality and profound impact. But let’s be honest: ancient philosophy can be hard to understand, let alone apply in today’s fast-paced world.

That’s why I created SerenoAI—to make Stoic teachings simple, modern, and actionable for people like me - and maybe you too.

Sereno AI is a stoic AI agent that unlocks ancient wisdom and breaks it down in a simple, modern way, on a daily email so people can 10x their life.

Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts and improvement ideas :)

I had a similar adventure.

I ended up with a Meebook E-Reader P78 Pro. It is an android based e-reader with a stylus and note-taking capabilities. Even has the ability to enable Google Play Store.

I added Kindle, Library, and Audiobookshelf to mine, along with Obsidian and some note taking stuff. it works fairly well, nowhere near perfect, but its also much cheaper than the DC-1.

Maybe look into that also. There might be newer versions or alternatives. Maybe something from Boox

It does help, because major version updates are more likely to cause breakage than minor ones, so you benefit if you wait for a few minor version updates. That is not to say minor versions can't introduce bugs.

Windows is a well-known example; people used to wait for a service pack or two before upgrading.
I don't disagree with you, and neither would the Founding Fathers. In fact they were even opposed to the concept of political parties, but the power/convenience they enable means that lasted all of 5 seconds. But I would say that Congressmen being threatened with being primaried if they do unpopular things is literally the entire point of representative democracy.

I think the question is when that pressure to obey is coming from the people and when it's instead coming from the party. In the ideal scenario the party and the people (at least the constituency) would be in lockstep. In any case term limits would help. If you're going to be out of office in at most two terms, it eliminates any point about sacrificing your values for some sort of long-term favor/benefit with the party.
Possibly, but there are a lot of people that self-administer LSD for migraines who say it helps tremendously. I'm also one of those people. Between occasional LSD and daily magnesium supplementation, my migraines are very infrequent these days.

I'm probably biased, but in the number of cases where I had to work with Kafka, I'd really prefer to simply have an SQL database. In all of those cases I struggled to understand why developers wanted Kafka, what problem was it solving better than the database they already had, and for the life of me, there just wasn't one.

I'm not saying that configuring and deploying databases is easy, but it's probably going to happen anyway. Deploying and configuring Kafka is a huge headache: bad documentation, no testing tools, no way to really understand performance in the light of durability guarantees (which are also obscured by the poor quality documentation). It's just an honestly bad product (from the infra perspective): poor UX, poor design... and worst of all, it's kind of useless from the developer standpoint. Not 100% useless, but whatever it offers can be replaced by other existing tools with a tiny bit of work.

... After a heroic research effort that took 2.5 years and 500,000 euros, he and his colleagues had managed to shepherd a large group of frail, elderly subjects through a six-month strength-training program. Those who had taken a daily protein supplement managed to pack on an impressive 2.9 pounds of new muscle. Success! Old people could be strong!

... On his phone was a photo one of his students had just sent him of a large plate stacked high with bulging cubes of raw beef. In total, there were 3.1 pounds of beef—a graphic visualization of the muscle lost in just one week by subjects of a bed-rest study the student had just completed.
