I like Kdenlive, but for the simple video editing I do (cuts, splices, remove/replace audio, freeze frame etc) the fastest thing is ffmpeg. I just give an LLM a list of files, a set of steps and timestamps, a directory to work in and h

Many of their military assets are underground out of reach of bombers. And you need somewhere to stage out of. Probably not the Gulf bases that are being wiped by missiles and drones at the moment. The aircraft carriers have been having iss

I live remotely in a very isolated area and work remotely (no slack, just email). I live with my partner but she is in town for work during the day. I go to town a couple of times a month. Before COVID I had an office in town but realized I

Namecheap does the same thing though, at least they did with an .online domain I have.

You may be correct about many US programmers not keeping up, but the H1Bs I've seen in action, other than being more compliant, didn't seem to be much better and often worse. "Top Talent". Ya, no not generally. Not from

I used to do things like that with about 10 lines of jQuery.

They have replaced them with exclamation marks! Every sentence must end with an exclamation mark, or you aren't excited and positive enough!

How will they know who wrote the code?

Exactly. I never saw a reason for that to be a paid service in the first place.

I guess I'd rather just complete one tiny part at a time with Claude and understand the output then do all that. It seems like less effort and infrastructure. And a lot more certain in outcome.

I'm starting cold weather veggies indoors for my spring garden and preparing the soil. I've been playing with various mineral amendments for years and produce some extremely tasty produce I have yet to see matched in stores (even

That is one of the best comments I've seen on HN to date! It seriously got me laughing. Thanks.

I'm in the opposite position. Been a Linux user exclusively for 16+ years. But I wanted to build some desktop apps and look at arcGIS so I finally installed Windows 11 on a laptop my first Windows in nearly 2 decades. This was a month

It's something they say in sociology 101 at colleges in the US and some people occasionally believe it.

Ya I saw a comment a few weeks ago about "leaving productivity on the table!". I'm generating 3 long files at a prompt now, how much more productivity do I need? Any more and I'll have zero idea what is going on.

I haven't (yet) tried Claude but have good experiences with Codex CLI the last few weeks. Previously I tried to use Aider and openAI about 6 or 7 months ago and it was terrible mess. I went back to pasting snippets in the browser chat

The LLM providers got paid. Reminds me of an offshore project I was involved with at one point. It had something like 7 managers and 4 years and over 30 developers had worked on it. The billing had reached into the millions. It was full of

It's going well for coding. I just knocked out a mapping project that would have been a week+ of work (with docs and stackoverflow opened in the background) in a few hours. And yes, I do understand the code and what is happening and di

"Supply shock" might not be the only, or even primary cause. As far as I know fentanyl is still widely available and inexpensive. My guess is only a subset of the population is willing to both A) Use a substance like street fentan

I just asked chatGPT. "do llms give wrong information often?" "Yes. Large language models produce incorrect information at a non-trivial rate, and the rate is highly task-dependent." But wait, it could be lying and they

"Often" is relative but they do give false information. Perhaps of greater concern is their confirmation bias. That being said, I do agree with your general point. These tools are useful for exploring topics and answers, we just n

We didn't have the internet back in the 80's and 90's to doom scroll all day. We read the events in the newspaper and watched it on on the news at 6pm and that was it. This might be partially why things seem darker.

If you remember the aftermath of the Iraq2 invasion (which a lot of people claimed was about oil) gas prices did not plummet at all but the reverse. Gas doubled at the pump, maybe slightly more.
