Exactly. I'm finding it very hard to follow HN's rules and not engage in personal attacks against the developer in this thread. It's hard to put into words the disdain I feel towards the kinds of people who build things like

You're making a rather large and unsupported assumption that "speeding" is dangerous. In the overwhelming majority of cases it is not. 10-100M people in the US speed every day. "Speeding" as a term makes no distinct

Oh I like HEVC in theory, but its patent encumbrance/licensing has delayed it’s rollout immeasurably. These realities far outweigh the technical benefits IMO.

I’ll bite. Yes I am, but on the other hand none of the SEC’s decisions have impacted me negatively. I have never held XRP for example, so while I dislike them it’s entirely because I don’t believe they should exist in the first place, they

Asleep? SEC has been screwing small investors for as long as it’s been around. Screw the SEC, just another in a long list of government agencies that shouldn’t exist.

Finally! Given the large overall percentage of web bandwidth that’s video this will really help. Hopefully Apple pushes this over HEVC/VVC garbage in their next release.

I agree, but I only have windows machines as exclusive gaming boxes. No password on login, no web browsing period, no access to NAS/media/files, no cloud access etc. just has windows and steam/various launchers and peripheral

Yeah I posted about that here (this just bit me) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30757193 and I was flagged to oblivion. Looks like I really need to keep a 3rd party nav app installed just in case!

Apple Maps is down, and so is installing other map apps via the App Store

Because we are a civilization in steep decline, and this is just another symptom.

It's a shame. 90+% of their customers would hear "AV1" and think "Apple Video 1".

I for one get really annoyed with the people who go “it’s aliens!” every time, but the cynical “debooonkers” that will seemingly go to any length to say it’s _not_ aliens bother me even more. We simply need more information.

So when the pilot says “it’s rotating!” And the lens flare rotates with it, that’s just a coincidence? The far-away-plane hypothesis would have the exhaust as a point source. The lens flare would maintain it’s orientation as the plane rolle

We have incredibly strong claims that lead to congressional hearings and classified reports to Congress. The public videos are heavily redacted and lower quality than the classified ones. So is your claim that they’re all lying? Is Congress

Except they had RADAR locks, experienced jamming, and had visual identification in some cases. The whole “lens flare from a far away plane” hypothesis has been throughly debunked. You have to ignore evidence to reach that conclusion.

This link is much better, thanks. It’s too late for me to edit my post I should have used this.

The core claim of this joke of a production is that it’s just lens flare. They use weasel words to hedge their bets, but their intention is pretty clear. The facts are that these pilots also saw these things with their own eyes and got rada

Mick West is a buffoon, and his “debunking” videos intentionally mislead his audience. I say this because he has had this explained to him again and again but he still ignores evidence. When you have infrared, multiple radar, and visual obs

What? Mick west does a terrible job, all of his arguments that I’ve seen are preposterous, and require ignoring tons of evidence.

Mick West utterly failed to “debunk” these videos, and actual fighter pilots have debunked his “debunk”. https://youtu.be/ro29w4ESw44
