A new MCU movie is released, its 60 second trailer posted on Youtube, but I don't feel like watching the movie because I got bored after Endgame.

Youtube has very strict anti-scraping techniques now, so I use deep-scrapper to generate the whole trailer from the thumbnail and title.

I use deep-pirate to generate the whole 3 hour movie from the trailer.

I use deep-watcher to summarize the whole movie in a 60 second video.

I watch the video. It doesn't make any sense. I check the Youtube trailer. It's the same video.
I don't see any negative consequences. Humans are omnivores, humans eat meat. So are bears, badgers, raccoons, red foxes, chimpanzees, civets, pigs.

I have a Polestar 2 Performance, which is far from the paragon of efficiency, and it's still just $0.05 / mile in electricity to drive it.

A 40 MPG car, with gas at $3.29 / gallon is still $0.0823 / mile.

(EDIT I missed a zero and rounded wrong; number updated. Was not trying to argue it was an order of magnitude more expensive.)

Between fuel and maintenance, the EV has a much lower total cost of ownership. (And in some cases, has been approaching ICE levels for purchase, though it has a ways to go in the U.S. My example car was only an option as a 2 year old used vehicle... $40K off MSRP.)

This is an all-time classic, but, sadly, most HN commenters just don't "get it". Perhaps because they have no experience with the Erlang VM so they don't understand Joe's premises The Erlang VM is best described as a dynamic process manager and a "function" is just a callstack template. You want to fix a bug in your executing function without stopping it? Sure, no problem. Just reload the function and have the VM seamlessly upgrade the callstack to the new template. Since data is immutable it mostly just works. Now since functions forms the basic unit of work in Erlang modules are kind of irrelevant. Recompiling a module is the same as recompiling every function in the module. Hence, what use does the abstraction serve? The proliferation of "utils" or "misc" modules in not only Erlang but many other languages supports his point.

Btw, the more experienced I've gotten the more I've found that organizing code is mostly pointless. A 5000-line source file (e.g., module) isn't necessarily worse than five 1000-line files.

I agree with you- other than that they wanted Trump. In 2024, both candidates were historically unpopular, and polling continues to show that both parties approval ratings are at an all time low.

My read is the election was a rejection of globalist neoliberal capitalism and Trump was the closest choice to that. If the democrats had run someone who was even willing to lie about making changes for regular people they would have won easily.

There is a distinction between those companies who actually license their stuff under FOSS licenses, but use it to get more marketing/contributors/whatever, and what companies like Meta are doing today, which is calling something "open source" in their marketing material, but if you read the terms and conditions, they call it "proprietary" instead and comes with lots of restrictions that aren't compatible with FOSS.

One is a marketing tactic, the other one is outright misleading.
> Sure, but in practice I believe most developers would find it intuitive to just type . everywhere.

Yeah, but in practice I try not to produce write-only code.

Code is for reading more than for writing, hence make it easier to read. If it becomes easier to write as a side-effect, then so be it.

> This is easily fixable.

Gas is a lot more expensive ("fixed" with taxes) in the EU and the electric cars are losing steam here too.

You need to drive a lot (by EU urban standards at least) to justify the price premium and hassle of an all electric. Especially since we've been in a recession longer than the US which is just starting.

I'm at that stage in my career where I don't code much anymore, so I don't really share the same anxieties younger developers have about Gen AI. That might partly explain my more optimistic view.
To take a reductive view, art is people saying stuff. It's one thing to think that what is being said is not worth saying; but you seem to claim that nothing is being said. And that's just bragging about your own ignorance.

It already dropped oil prices substantially. And they are denominated in dollars which also dropped. Trump is going to make Russia suffer!

"The situation has nothing to do with the current US administration" - who for the past decade has ran on keeping oil fields drilling, romanticizing gas/oil money, and before Elon actively campaigned against EV adoption and claimed climate change doesn't exist so keep burning that oil.

And lets say all of this is true - how does that explain China's massive adoption rate of EV's if its so prohibitively expensive and non-sharable. We suck at producing, place low value on auto research and development, and have an entire swath of people dedicated monetarily to keeping oil/gas around despite its adverse effects.

Most American cars are behind practically every other corner of the globe in reliability, safety, and cost.
You're 24? Don't take this the wrong way but you have loads of time to do "youth shit."

I understand that, I meant they made the choice to use power and resources on the client end when internet bandwidth is abundant and they can utilize server resources for cpu intensive workload. Design choices such as these are exclude anyone who can't afford decent hardware and are inefficient in terms of power/energy usage.
>I don't think anyone imploring us to change agricultural practices

Before discovering agriculture, we were hunters gatherers.
Practicing agriculture allowed human population to expand tremendously.

If you forbid agriculture, how do you wish to proceed with eugenics and euthanasia? Because not practicing agriculture will probably only allow 2% of mankind to survive.
> Everyone keeps using this example, but you have the exact same problem calorie counting any food that might be lathered in fat.

Not really. In practice you need to know the ingredients to estimate the caloric value. Either because you prepared the meal, or because someone who wrote the recipe of it calculated and wrote it on the packaging/menu.

> If it can, then that's a huge win

But that's the point of the example. That it can't. If it could, that would be good. But it can't do it, and not because the app is deficient in some way, but because the necessary information is not available in the image.

> Or chill on the butter and restaurant food when you're supposedly trying to lose weight.

Yes of course. And that is one of the things you learn when you do calorie counting. The practice drives home that message, and many others. But you are not going to learn that if the app hides the signal from you.

He is a betting man. He himself says he and colleagues bet against the economy in the financial crisis and made shit ton of money.

Stock market/trading is a kind of zero sum game. For him to gain, someone else has to lose.

However, real economy is not a zero sum game and I dont think he understands that. AFAIK never was an entrepreneur, or created a business.

He advocates for a wealth tax, ie a tax on unrealised gains.

For realised gains, we already do wealth tax and thats called capital gains tax.
The real problem is that our auto companies (besides Tesla) are reliant and subsidized by the Government, making them highly inefficient, and unable to compete within a global market without giant subsidies.
That was the Chevy Volt. And it was a glorious piece of amazing engineering.

Not marketed. Barely sold. Dealers hated it (too reliable, too "weird"). Technology never transferred into a larger vehicle that "normal" Americans would want to drive. GM couldn't be convinced to make an Equinox or a Silverado with that kind of drivetrain, or even try. They decided that pure electric made more sense, but they also are incapable of marketing and selling that, either.

My cynical take is: Combustion engines and highways made North America as it is. The Baby Boomer "American Grafitti" generation that holds power lives and breathes gas burning auto culture as the apex of and very definition of progress.

ICE from their cold dead hands.

Our continent will go down literally burning because of it.

(Well, Trump is currently killing off what remains of the North American auto industry, so I guess we'll see...)
Out of interest, did you try changing the value of commit_delay? This parameter allows multiple transactions to be written together under heavy load.
I loved how the Windows 95 install CD had Weezer's Buddy Holly video on it. I remember finding it and thinking it was so cool they did that.
At the moment the price of gas is artificially low due to indirect subsidies. Eliminate those to give a fair playing field.
I think the switch will happen sooner rather than later, considering the progress BYD is making in China (and many of their export markets).

It's true that electric vehicles remain a bit too expensive for many, but most of those people aren't buying brand new ICE vehicles either. Why spend lots of money to buy a brand new car of obsolete technology, when the alternative is to buy used and wait for electric ones to get cheaper? I know literally nobody in my age group (adults in their 30's) who has bought a brand new car in past few years. I live in rich EU country.
the amount lost is insignificant compared to that lost to wage theft, inflation, rent, interest -- forms of capital expansion

It’s at least partially creditable to the nature of the models manufacturers chose to make, usually being midrange to luxury crossovers, SUVs, and performance cars. Yes the first two of those are popular categories and have no shortage of highly priced hybrid and ICE models, but EVs are too much of an unknown for too much of the population for those prices to be palatable.

Traditional automakers keep trying to replay Tesla’s entry into the market, but I don’t think that’s going to work. They need to instead be focusing on value above all else, which is something they’re severely allergic to. They don’t want to sell $20-$25k practical cars, they want to sell $60k SUVs with fat margins, but the appetite for expensive EVs is already well-sated with interested buyers having a plethora of options. So in a way, they’re guaranteeing their own failure when it comes to EVs.
Oh don't worry, I'm sure they've got some plan to burn down all the forests on NFS land or something that equally serves no purpose except to own the libs.

Show HN: We made an open-source alternative to Drata and Vanta
Hey HN!
I'm Lewis. I've spent the last 4 months building Comp AI - an open source alternative to Drata & Vanta.

Those platforms can cost $10,000+ per year. We've seen how over the last 18 months AI has changed software development...

We want to change how quick it is to get compliant with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR. Our goal is to help 100,000 companies get compliant by 2030.

You can check out our GH at https://github.com/trycompai/comp/
On the one hand, that seems problematic. But on the other, it seems cherry-picked: For the U.S., it generates a picture of JFK. For Russia/USSR, it gives Stalin. For India, it gives Ghandi. For South Africa it gives Nelson Mandela. For Germany, it provides an appropriately hand-wringing text response and eventually suggests Konrad Adenauer.

This suggests to me that its response is driven more by a leader's fame or (more charitably) influence, rather than a bias towards fascist ideology.

Productivity apps would be MS Office, yes, as well as separately-purchased licenses for Publisher (and I'm sure there were several other apps at the time). I do not know whether this category would include Visual C++ or Visual Basic licenses, but I suspect it did.

I think you are correct on the OEM vs Consumer split. Long-forgotten memory: For awhile people would resell OEM software licenses online. OEM software licenses could only be sold as a bundle with PC hardware. But that limitation did not specify /what/ PC hardware or that it had to be an entire working system. So resellers would collect outdated 1MB SIMM memory cards or other small, cheap, outdated components and package them with the CDROM.

I kind of feel like if you didn't vote for Kamala, you kind of signaled you're OK with Trump, since that's how the American two-party system forces people to act.

So all those that didn't vote, obviously didn't hate what Trump proposed enough to vote against him.
Are you really trying to say that people should not protest, unless they are the overwhelming majority or easily ignored, because their protest will (or even just might) turn into a civil war?
Does the total cost of ownership include battery maintenance? My Toyota 4Runner has 180k miles, still runs great, and is worth several thousands of dollars in Bluebook value. My biggest fear with EVs is that I've never heard a single positive story about what happens when the batteries fault.
If that is all they were they wouldn't be a problem but this is obviously an over simplification.
Sub Blocks – Manage subscriptions by how they make you feel
Hi HN – I recently launched a side project called Sub Blocks to help people make better decisions about their subscriptions—not just based on cost, but how they feel about them.

Instead of spreadsheets or expense trackers, Sub Blocks uses a block-based system with emotional categories like “Love It,” “Like It,” “Worth It,” etc. You drag and drop your subscriptions into the category that feels right. The goal is to reduce subscription fatigue and make it easier to cancel the ones that no longer spark value or joy.

Right now, it’s a mobile-optimized web app. You can manually add subscriptions or choose from popular services. It shows your total spend, upcoming renewals, and gives you a clear visual breakdown based on your emotional value—not just price tags.

Still early, but I’d love feedback. What’s useful? What’s missing? Would love to hear what you think.
Flyway is primarily an imperative migration tool, rather than a declarative-first system. Their paid editions do have support for doing diffs ("state-based") and auto-generating migrations, but it's bolted-on to a workflow that was designed to be imperative-first. From what I can find, their public docs are rather lacking on what types of database objects and edge cases it supports.

Skeema does indeed separate each DB object to its own file, and each logical schema to its own subdirectory. It also figures out how to correctly apply changes in a valid order, but yeah it's MySQL/MariaDB only. I think some of the declarative FOSS Postgres tools do attempt to provide a correct ordering, but from memory I'm not certain.
