I have a text file with some common commands, so no tools needed. But yea ffmpeg is awesome software, one of the great oss projects imo. working with video is hellish and it makes it possible.

I had worms as a kid once in the nineties, I ate some cookies I found buried in the sand on the playground. It’s not super common (if you live in Europe) but it happens. Meanwhile my friends who grew up in a tropical country they had to tak

In most cases you can’t use the device without agreeing to the terms of service right? For example a service I use a lot recently changed their terms of service - there was no way to keep using the service without agreeing. Might be differe

That is fair even though I referred only to Palantir with that part. Did you name this account after Eru Illuvatar?

I specifically referred to the witch kings surveillance artefacts with misreading. I don’t think their creation story is mentioned in LOTR, other than that they are extremely powerful and dangerous. But you are right of course about Anduril

As a former child my favourites were Playmobile, Lego, Duplo, wooden blocks and those little matchbox cars. For cleaning we just dumped everything into a big box. Repeatability is endless

You heard of Duplo? It’s like Lego but big.

I guess they are named after the founders (Angie and Mark) - but still an eerie coincidence…

So so weird that we live in a timeline where Anduril and Palantir are military contractors of the US and other governments. I know it’s somewhat of a tired observation by now but I still wonder every time how badly you have to misread LOTR

Tbh like 99% of web apps aren’t critical - most of them are for buying something or providing infrastructure to make it easier to buy something anyway. It’s fine if your online shop is down for a few minutes (of course the business won’t se

I wish it was true. From the bullshit jobs in the book, I can only see the box tickers being replaced. The flunkies, goons, task masters, and duct tapers will probably continue to exist. Als unless we come up with something like UBI or a d

You could easily replace them with an LLM if that were the case. Although I don’t completely disagree with your cynical take I don’t think that’s actually the case for most of the Guardians journalists, they do a lot of quality reporting to

To be fair handling Word documents is much more complex than redacting a PDF properly.

by sallveburrpi 10mo ago
To me this is the only explanation that makes sense. However wouldn’t they risk repercussions when this is inevitably found out? I assume they have records who redacted which documents

I would consider it gross negligence on the journalists part to not know the technical details here. It’s really not that hard; as someone else on this thread pointed out even my grandma knows this… You can find out the technical details in

Is that a joke? I’m eloquent in 3 languages and I don’t even consider myself to be particularly good at languages. Or maybe you have a really high standard for eloquence.

And? I don’t see the direct correlation. The same might be true if we get a China-dominated century - or not who tf knows…

For sure and it’s not even clear if there will be be a lot of long term damage. The next admin might roll all of it back and then some. It doesn’t seem extremely likely at the moment but I also don’t think it’s super unlikely.

Worse for US Americans probably - rest of the world? Not so clear cut

Not entirely baseless though : > the US government has cut scientific grants to academics working on diversity-related topics, halted biomedical grants to international partners, and demanded universities shut down academic units that “b

So summary is that useful quantum computing is definitely not imminent (as in probably happening in the next 10-20 years) - or am I misreading ?

Like I recently read on HN: “everything written online is an advertisement - everything” It’s pretty cynical but there is a strange truth to it, even this comment is an ad in a way.

In some (more catholic) regions in Germany you spend a (voluntary) week in a monastery during school - called Besinnungstage (loosely translated as “mindfulness days”). I went and thought I would hate it at the time - mostly because I reall

I get what you want to say but on the other hand the 40 hour week - which is kind of the standard in modern capitalism - also ain’t it. Especially if you work in a toxic job you hate just for the money. > that if you want to live a good

Chat Control was first proposed in 2022 and is still in parliament. Some try to push it through again and again but it gets blocked. I don’t see why it should be different this time and so far nothing has actually changed for EU citizens.

MSG is only bad for you because it makes things taste amazing so you are going to eat more than you actually should. Nothing wrong with butter btw. As with most food stuffs if not consumed in moderation it can become a problem.

Inherently means “qualities or traits that are intrinsic and fundamental, not added or external” So yea cars are inherently dangerous. I’m not sure who you think I’m indoctrinated by but around 3000 people are killed every year in my countr

Zero degree of impairment is only possible if we don’t have access to 2 tons of murder box. I think the way cars dominate roads and our public spaces and how they are being used is inherently dangerous. I know this is going to get downvote
