My dad, who passed away 2023, left a stack of over 100 VHS tapes full of 80s TV. It’s mostly music (esp. bass guitar orientated), steam trains, photography and I think this would make the perfect way to digest that content.

Thanks for sharing.
On paper, Stephen Tobolowsky seems like he shouldn’t be successful enough of an actor to warrant an autobiography. But man do I love Ned “The Head” Ryerson in all his incarnations. What a strange, tall, little man.

That the world does not have a Stanley Tucci, Stephen Tobolowsky buddy comedy trilogy has made it all the poorer. But it’s been a while since someone tried to remake The Odd Couple…
Why is this downvoted? This is factual.

Electronic imports, no/low tariffs.

Import material to produce electronics, high imports.
Er, aren't the cars in question electric cars?

That has little to do with the pollution or traffic, and more about the extreme actions of their manufacturer. It's symbolic, albeit largely ineffective and ignored by the target.
This is actually pretty cool. I don't have an immediate use for it, but I'm making a mental note, because I'm sure something will come up soon.
> Reducing this to "orientation of the camera" is such a dismissive take

What's more important: the person behind the camera or the camera? Show me the photos taken without the camera and then look at all the great photos taken by amateurs.

> They require training sets to be anywhere near useful.

And the camera needs assembly and R&D. But when either arrives at your door, it's "ready to go".

> Cameras _do not_ feed on all the previous photographies taken by others.

Cameras do feed on all the research of previous cameras though. The photos don't matter to the Camera. The Camera manufacturers are geniuses, the photographers are users.

It's really not far off from AI, especially when the cameras do so much, and then there's the software-tools afterwards etc etc.

Yeah, yeah, everybody wants to feel special and artsy and all that and looks down on the new people who aren't even real artists. But most people really shouldn't.
> They don't hate good AI images, and when they see great AI images, they don't even realize they are made by AI.

There's a decent size group of people who have a knee-jerk negative response toward AI regardless of quality. They'd see that image, like it, and then when told it's AI, turn on it and decide it was obviously flawed from the beginning. Is there a version of "sour grapes" where the fox did eat the grapes, they were delicious, but he declared they were sour after the fact to claim moral superiority?
You can use harder rubber compounds but that's a non-starter because longer stopping distances.
Those don’t have a fake address. You still have to put the right name and billing to pass verification.

A prepaid Visa/MC/Amex gift card might work, but those are easily blockable. I’d expect Adobe to do so.
> What we are doing in practice when delegating coding to LLMs is climbing up the abstraction level ladder.

You’re not abstracting if you are generating code that you have to verify/fret about. You’re at exactly the same level as before.

Garbage collection is an abstraction. AI-generated C code that uses manual memory management isn’t.

Did Trump actually withhold foreign aid from Ukraine, or did he threaten to do so?

Because if it was threatening to cut funding this is a pot calling the kettle black situation
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/us/politics/trump-ukraine...
And checking this NYTimes timeline, they say that the funds were released on September 20th. So the funding to Ukraine was not withheld, but delayed. The exact same thing that Joe Biden was doing.
Saying in all caps "It's a great time to buy" before the stock market goes up 10% isn't insider trading, it's a politician delivering on his promises immediately.
No, unless somebody starts a stream there's no computation. If nobody is watching, it's idle.

If somebody tunes in, the server figures out where to start the stream and begins streaming.
> The fact that so many people look at a job as a money optimization problem says a lot about society.

Yes, to an extent.

Looking at the costs of housing, especially in a market like DC, the motivation isn't "making lots of money" per se, but rather "maybe I can actually make enough to afford the mortgage on an 800k crapshack" and the acknowledgment that gov roles aren't likely to cover that.
> I'm no Hayao "I sense insult to life itself" Miyazaki

He was saying that in response to a computer-animated zombie that dragged itself along in a grotesque manner. It wasn't that it was animated by a computer, it was that he found it offensive in that it felt like it was making light of the struggles of people with disabilities. You definitely would also find it disgusting.
Yeah I also cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want a web site that converts files. Just install a desktop app to do the same (GUI or otherwise) and it will be more pleasant to use, and more performant. The Web is not a good application platform no matter how much people try to shoehorn it into being one.
If you are greedy (or cautious about how you spend, because literally RooCode can code 0.5 to 1 USD per request), you can enable slow-mode in Cursor, and just ride the wave with Sonnet-3.7 for free.

(or create a new free account and enjoy 500 fast requests)

In theory, you could use RooCode with the GitHub Copilot API too, but in practice there are limits that makes it unusable.
I will note that car burning is rare during protests. It mostly happen during riots, which are quite rare (i think 2005 were the big ones, and some light ones started last year). What can happen is a luxury car finding itself on its own roof (those racing cars are light).

During the yellow vest protest, "unsafe" property destruction started, destroying an apartment and putting in danger bystanders (the only death was due to a police grenade shot trough an open window, but the protesters put in danger bystanders too, and only luck prevented any deaths). Which triggered an interesting response from old punks/antifas (and also active ones): They joined facebook yellow vest protest groups to teach "how to" destroy property properly: spot danger points, how to find a target, how to avoid side effects, when to avoid using fire (99.9% of the time), when not to, how to deactivate teargas grenade (it is surprising, but a lot of people do not know how to), and instilled in some very theoritical points about secrecy and compartmentalization that were passed down from like the "groupe Barta", which, to be honest, is quite funny.
Let's be real here, a huge chunk of car traffic in cities is purely for convenience.

Once that's reduced by say, 50%, everything becomes much better, but nobody gives up convenience voluntarily.
With EVs, 100% of particulates are from tires, etc! It's a disaster!

Except, you know, the amount remained the same, we just got rid of the other 98% that used to be there.

Massive strikes that are hard to contain got use the 8 hour work day, weekends and a lot of labor rights. Civil right movements won only because a huge portion of them were militant (back then even the National Rifle Association supported banning guns).
A violent status quo necessitates violence to achieve change.
You’d think if they were being swindled someone in academia would have been pissed about it and sounded the alarm. These are smart people after all who fight tooth and nail for every dollar of grant money they are awarded. They don’t like paying indirect costs either. But it turns out, you kind of need a functioning research building in order to do research. Now admins at universities are trying to figure out how they can get the damn toilet paper paid for as a direct cost because that is actually where we are at with this stuff today.
The NASCAR layout was pretty nuts and Anema (EDM) robot guy leaps off a cliff
It's not just about emissions. The entire character of the area changes. The streets fill with pedestrians and bicycles.

Garbage trucks and ambulances still use the streets. But they face no traffic and are exceptions rather than the rule. They don't need to be either low emission or quiet, though those things are also nice to have, since those things are no longer the most pressing issues.
Which is only true if you are not interested in the “self-hostable” part and you installing an app is a significant difficulty.

Once an app is installed locally it is more convenient to use - that is why it is so common for apps to replicate (or just wrap) websites.

If you are not interested in the self-hostable part there are lots of online converters.
Is Amazon a product or a place to sell other products? Does that make Amazon not a winner?
This is hilarious if you know what universities pay DOE facilities for indirects. Their charges are up to 100%%.
I have a good feel for this working with ORNL.

I hope this means they will be dropping their indirect rates to 15%. Yeh, right.
> without which there is zero chance of being sustainable or competitive

It seems like some of these comments are missing how competition works.

Competition happens within the same type(s) of goods, not across them.

That is, the companies making the goods still affected by tariffs aren’t in competition with the companies making goods now exempt by tariffs.

Yes, its true that they will have a better chance at thriving under these exemptions, but whether they thrive or not should have little impact on the other companies.

To be clear, I’m not arguing in favor of this decision — or any of the tariffs, for that matter.

I’m just simply arguing that competition isn’t really the angle to use to argue against this particular decision.
I took the most obvious cultural displacement industry as an example of the correlation between tropes, personas and delusions. Of course the internet is another one of those.

Whether is it the cause or not, it is impossible to say, at least in the way the paper studies it ("meta-analysis,", another way of saying "loose correlation").

People love it? I don't know. Maybe it's like an addiction instead of a real desire for it. Have you ever been in a culture without those elements to know what is like?

Anyway. Talking seriously now, schizophrenia is a big elephant in the world's room. Lots of correlations, no clear cause. The more you look into it, the more the cause seems to be inexistent.

Given its current symptoms-based definition, with very low effort, anyone could be classified as schizophrenic. Just one push to disrupt "normal everyday functioning behavior" and even the most sane person could end up in the schizo bucket.
Is there something in the water here on HN that prevents people from differentiating between intent and outcome..?

I like the way that you phrased “I agree with you, it is not cheap or easy” here
The comment you resond to is obviously a joke, and so is yours (in a way) but owning and driving a car in Paris almost certainly places you in the upper class. Most Parisians don't own cars, most don't use them to drive around the city.
Mostly only social media/messaging sites report daily active users regularly. Everything else usually reports monthly active users at best.

>in the last day? If you’re only using something once per week, it probably isn’t that important to you.

No, something I use on a weekly basis (which is not necessarily just once a week) is pretty important to me and spinning it otherwise is bizarre.

Google is the frontend to the web for the vast majority of internet users so yeah it gets a lot of daily use. Social media sites are social media sites and are in a league of their own. I don't think i need to explain why they would get a disproportionate amount of daily users.
The intent will be obvious from the prompt and context. The AI will behave differently when called from a Doc about the yearly sales strategy vs consumer search app.
Everything 'just works', yet you needed to create your own server for it which needs scripting support?

IMO 'just works' means Apache suupports it out of the box with a simple config file and you can just start sending messages to client IPs.
What you just described is an idea that's around intellectual circles about the nature of power in this era. It's the idea behind the book "Ipnocrazia" (not yet released), which gained fame around europe and south america.

Citing from the top of my head: "Simulation isn't imitating the real anymore, simulation precedes the real"

If I understand it right, tragedy is first simulated. Once the simulation is bought by the population, it gives the ruling class a reason to act how they really want to act, and the tragedy is made real.

In other words. It's population control without coercion.

A narrative puts people in a trance (they're hypnotized), inhibiting their cognitive capacity. The narrative is the simulation. The goal is to make people fearful and disoriented so they delegate their cognitive capacity to "illuminated" rulers, accepting the simulation as real.

If i were to put it in real terms. Let's spread the narrative of an incoming world war 3. Once it's settled, the population will just accept world war 3 as a matter of fact, unavoidable. This would allow us, the ruler class, to extend trump's presidency even beyond.
Not all software work is generic CRUD work. Some work requires actual, domain level expertise that has been built up over decades. Admittedly, this work is few and far between and usually you wind up shoveling shit into a dumpster fire...
Pausing tariffs was an official act. The Supreme Court ruled courts could not consider presidents' motives for official acts.
> I started this thread referencing comments (including the one I cited above) where people explain how they cutoff their friends and relatives because they "side with evil".

Okay, but in the sentence _right before this one_, you acknowledged that evil does exist in modern American and it is popular.

So no need for the scare quotes. They don't "side with evil". They side with evil, literally, by your own admission!

> They're signalling that their tribe is more important than friends and family.

No, they're signalling that they don't want to be friends with people who side with evil.

I don't understand how the point keeps bashing you upside the head and it's still not clicking. You're acting like they're cutting them off because they love their tribe. No no, it's because those people are bad people.

Even regardless of tribalism, there exists bad people. Why would you want to be friends with bad people? That's not a rhetorical question. Is it not kind of pathetic that you wish to befriend people who harm you? Why is that not only something you're advocating for, but using as some sort of moral high ground?

I just don't see the purity or the angelic-ness in supporting or being friends with people who are bad. Really, I don't. I don't see how you, and others, are constructing a pedestal there. It seems self-destructive and virtue-signalling to me. Which, ironically, _is actually tribalism_.
Absolutely! And the rates DOE labs charge for “work for others”. Makes MIT and UCSF seem like huge bargins.
In Finland hand tools are all awful. Anything available is just cheap chinese junk.

Recently found a german manufacturer, SHW, that still make forged hand tools like shovels and mattocks in old school designs. Bought a grub hoe and a strassenhacke from them and they are excellent.
Manhattan recently got congestion pricing and it’s noticeably more enjoyable because of this, even indoors.
I don't understand how Google is willing to do this but won't sell TPUs to other days centers. It should be obvious from Nvidia's market cap that they're missing a huge opportunity.
Ever driven a vehicle with drums in the front? Even on a light vehicle they take a long time to stop.
There was a time in between, where electric streetcars (trains) were a common mode of transport. But those got torn up for cars. That’s a real tragedy in hindsight.
There's this guy on YouTube that travelled to india and one thing stood out to me was the non-stop honking of cars and bikes. Just endless forever. What a nightmare!

I wonder what that does to a population. How does anyone think??

You get what you incentivize.

Europe chose to levy big fuel taxes and punitive displacement taxes. Diesel cars are some of the best when it comes to driving experience and fuel economy for a given displacement. What followed was perfectly predictable.

The road to hell is paved with public policy implemented with willful ignorance to obvious 2nd order effects.
I think, if I remember correctly, that b and i are used to only alter the style of text, while strong and em are used for emphasis in something like a paragraph of text.

So you could use b in something like UI breadcrumbs, but of you wanted to strongly highlight something as an author of some text, you'd use strong.

I'm not really sure we need these though. As for my breadcrumbs example, I think everyone would use CSS rather than a b element.

So, I kinda understand the idea, but I've never needed it.

A thing that maybe comes to mind is that inner monologue in books uses italics sometimes. So using i would make sense more than em. But when wanting to emphasize/stress a word or phrase an em would make more sense than i.

+1 regarding <spoiler>!

Wait, what? When did Google DeepMind open an Atlanta office? That seems like a news story in and of itself... maybe I’ve been under a rock the last few years.
And even moving material from one place to another differs so much depending on what material it is. There are very good reasons for so many shovel designs existing.

It is amazing what this has achieved in Manhattan.
Google knows how to avoid mistakes like not bucketing by session. Holdback users just did fewer unique search sessions overall, because whilst for most people Google was a great way to book vacations, hotel stays, to find games to buy and so on, for holdback users it was limited to informational research only. That's an important use case but probably over-represented amongst HN users, some kinds of people use search engines primarily to buy things.

How much a click is worth to a business is a very good ranking signal, albeit not the only one. Google ranks by bid but also quality score and many other factors. If users click your ad, then return to the results page and click something else, that hurts the advertiser's quality score and the amount of money needed to continue ranking goes up so such ads are pushed out of the results or only show up when there's less competition.

The reason auction bids work well as a ranking signal is that it rewards accurate targeting. The ad click is worth more to companies that are only showing ads to people who are likely to buy something. Spamming irrelevant ads is very bad for users. You can try to attack that problem indirectly by having some convoluted process to decide if an ad is relevant to a query, but the ground truth is "did the click lead to a purchase?" and the best way to assess that is to just let advertisers bid against each other in an auction. It also interacts well with general supply management - if users are being annoyed by too many irrelevant ads, you can just restrict slot supply and due to the auction the least relevant ads are automatically pushed out by market economics.
We still have that danger. But the animals are homo sapiens and they are surrounded by 2 tonnes of metal. :)

To my knowledge, most regular web servers either cannot speak DTLS at all or only have limited support for it, but all modern browsers work with it just fine for WebRTC.
This is a bad-faith fallacy. We had cars that emitted X amounts of tyre/brake particulate and 10X amounts of combustion residue, we got rid of the combustion part, and now we hear "OMG! 100% is tyre particulate!!!"

Sure, but people won't stop moving, and there's no vacuum, you should compare brake particulate to whatever else people would use if cars didn't exist.
Oh you’re right, I’m just so used to making the TLS argument because there is also the cost of syscalls if you make small reads without buffering, sorry xD
Yes, but I think they can basically still do it. If they hadn't been buying F-35s they'd presumably have pushed their stealth fighter projects to be finished by now, and what more is really required?

I think these trade routes etc. will stop mattering rather soon. Batteries are coming and once that's here the oil trade's gone, and then you have no need to export things to get something to trade for it, so in a decade or so none of this will matter.

International trade will go from being mandatory to optional, and thus become much less important.
> Trump won the popular vote.

He did not, he got <50% of the total votes at final tally. People who parrot this are under-informed, or lying to claim a mandate his administration lacks.

Also, CAT is run by CATNMS, LLC which was created in response to an SEC rule 613, however it is operated by the same consortium of SROs that it purports to provide oversight on...

All these layers of responsibility diffusion and a notable absence of penalties for failing to meet rule 613 guidelines mean that rule is little more than for show.
