This is awesome.

I always wanted to do 2 things and never found enough time

* ballroom dance competition videos to share on insta for peers and judges

my kid is doing ballroom dancing and as a dance parent i record every competition, but i always struggle to find time to edit it well to share it.

I end up with a lot of high quality videos from my sony a6700 or iphone 17 and do some editing with resolve but it takes FOREVER and so i do it rarely

* Travel videos to share with friends and colleagues

I love travelling and this summer i have hiked through Albanian Alps and Dolomites and wanted to stitch those into a cool video to showcase to my friends and coworkers, but i just dont have enough time.

I have a lot of high res videos on my Iphone 17, Insta360 x5 and DJI Avata 2 that i have no time to edit.

My dream would to unleash my agents on these huuuge files and to help me organize them by time, and place and then to use agents to pick out the best scenes per place and help me stitch great showcasing videos

Does anyone have a good workflow for these? Would Kino be a great tool or is this best done locally with Claude/Codex?

Have you measured how much energy it uses once you have your frigate continuously recording and go2rtc multiplexing all the streams

P.S. Most stories on HN that mention Israel in anything remotely related to tech end up with hundreds of comments

On other hand a story Saudi national spying on OpenAI this week got 6 comments

Or if we are to be historically correct, Israel is a result of nation building as a result of breaking a British empire, just like 35 other countries across Asia, the Carribean and the Middle east.

That includes India, Pakistan, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, UAE, Yemen and others.

Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Irans regime.

In the past Jordan, Egypt, Syria.

Interesting, never heard a term "Oriental" Jews. I guess it means those who were not expelled from the Middle east.

The grand parent is not wrong -- 22 to 25% of individual nobel prize winners in 20th and 21st century were of Jewish descent.

Although laureats of Asian descent have been on the sharpest upward trajector in the recent decades

At cost of power at $.45kwh here and dual 3090 setup easily approaching 1kw per hour at 120 tok/sec, latest Luna is cheaper per million tokens.

Your electrical costs are likely less than mine though

$10/mo buys 7 vCPU Cores and 8gb ram which is not bad at all.

This is where freedom of choice is great. You can follow the people you want on platforms of your preference.

The smartest people i know, i mostly know because of their X presence.

How does one not engage with the corporate product at all?

Im typing a comment on a website of a corporation whose goal is to grow companies into corporations, via a computer manufactured by a corporation on a keyboard produced by a corporation, staring at a screen produced by a corporation, while connecting to an internet service offered by a corporation. Never mind that im also employed by a corporation, dressed by a corporation, drive a car manufactured by a corporation that takes fuel from a corporate gas station that is extracted and proccessed by a corporation.

What is the alternative exactly

You want to read what service XYZ offers, but you dont want to do it within the constraints of service XYZ.

If you dont want to follow the constraints of service XYZ, you dont have to consume its content.

The market would dictate that if X content consumers found it too inconvenient to consume from X and that would result in a significant drop in demand, the X content producers would stop producing their content on X.

I dont like many things about X -- random ads, bookmark folders being a paid feature, enshittification of the algorithm if you god forbid linger over some controversial video or content.

But i keep coming back to it because its the best way to follow the minds of brilliant techies. The basic sign up flow that i did years ago was basically a no-op.

I suspect that for most people, creating an account is basically a few button clicks (thanks OAuth) and they dont mind creating an account.

Wow, апельсин - apelsin(Russian) makes total sense now

You dont need a van. You just need to be comfortable at being uncomfortable.

Yes, tickets are expensive. Yes you need to bring survival stuff like water and food. Yes you will be underslept most likely. But it will be worth it.

So what is a good coding model to run on a 128gb m5 max MacBook nowadays

I reference direct statements by DSA made on their own websites that they aim to

* replace capitalism [0]

* own means of production [0]

I state the fact that Scandinavian/Nordic countries are Social Democracies (embracing capitalism) and Not Democratic Socialist countries.

You state that Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism is the same.

I ask you "tell me how Social Democrat parties of Denmark or Sweden views on capitalism same thing as DSA view" [1]

And your response is "nobody wants to replace capitalism, you're being absurd reply" inspite of official DSA statements that i linked to in [0]

My 2 points stand:

* DSA is pretty clear about its desires to replace capitalism [0] and own means of production [0]

* Nordic countries are Social Democracies. THey embrace capitalism, not aim to replace it (as its stated on DSA's own site). Your statement is factually wrong, unless you can find it in your heart to prove me wrong.

I dont know why you felt that bringing Israel discussion about clear socialist goals of DSA will help your argument whatever that is, but try to keep focus about systematic issues with DSA, not geo-political.

I’m observing a pattern - you don’t like to answer questions, provide evidence or context.

Youre statements peak at a single sentence with minimal signal. You’re not interested in conversations or debates

Really?

So tell me how Social Democrat parties of Denmark or Sweden views on capitalism same thing as DSA views on it stated in DSA sites I linked elsewhere?

Do these social democrats also want to replace capitalism?

You are mistaking Democratic Socialism (of DSA fame) for Social Democracy practiced by Nordic countries.

Different beasts as I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49404166

Scandinavian countries you are referring to are practicing Social Democracy, they are not Democratic Socialist states.

In other words, Social Democrat != Democratic Socialist

Scandinavian model relies on competitive private enterprise to create wealth, combined with strong labor union collective bargaining, universal public services, and high consumption/income taxes that apply broadly across society.

DSA seeks to move past or dismantle the capitalist economic system, advocating for social, public, or worker ownership of the means of production.[1]

That doesn’t sound like Hawaii

This does

“ A Solar Boom So Successful, It's Been Halted Photovoltaics proved so successful in Hawaii that the local utility, HECO, has instituted policies to block further expansion”

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-solar-boom-so-s...

As of today Hawai’i rates are at $0.40+ per kWh

Find my phone

Camera remote

100% disagree.

SmartPhones, Cloud, AI.

Just three things that happened in the past 20 years and were brought to the world by US companies.

There is more to yard work than mowing the lawn unfortunately. Trimming. Fertilizing Etc etc

If I can get a robot replace a gardener who I pay $170/mo for 2 visits per month, i probably would. But I suspect that would kill lawn

As I was traveling by trains and planes with finicky internet I started using mosh + tmux + Tailscale + VPs to run my agents

Curious how herdr or agent-manager fits into this remote-dev with intermittent connections experience

I bought a lightly used Apple Ultra Watch 2 6 months ago and it solved all my issues with my previous Apple Watch - specifically battery life.

I can use it as a sleep tracker and only need to charge it once every 2 days unless I take extensive hikes or use a lot of camera remote control.

The latter is magical btw especially for solo travelers - ability to set a scene on the iPhone camera while being in it by glancing on your watch is science fiction!

I have used omlx.ai with great success to both download multiple mlx models (including gemma and qwen) suited for my hardware AND to be able to automagically launch both open-source and close-source (claude code, codex) harnesses using these models. All from a web or desktop UI

You would not need to follow a blog post with omlx IMHO

I read his comment as tongue-in-cheek.

Why was SAT gotten rid off - testing is racist.

Why is 6-8th grade accelerated math pathway gotten rid off - math is racist

Imm overwhelmed with a variety of SDD tools out there.

Github spec kit, spec-kitty, symphony, GSD, this.

How do people decide on the framework other than try them all.

p.s. found this mind-boggling list of them all https://github.com/cameronsjo/spec-compare

In unrelated news

"More than 600 University of California faculty members, led by mathematicians at UC Berkeley, are calling on the system to reinstate standardized testing requirements for science, technology, engineering and mathematics applicants, saying that six years of test-free admissions has not reliably assessed readiness and professors are often teaching middle school math to incoming students."
