Hey Stefan and Elijah, I really like the approach you're taking, especially with Hamilton being the open core.

I've got recent experience with data eng / pipleine startups and wondering if you are hiring for your first engineers at this time.

If anyone else decides to give this a try on video files with multiple audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to tell it to select a certain track.

I got it working by manually adding `-map 0:2` (`2` being the trackid I'm interested in) when calling ffmpeg.

You'll have to make that edit in both `videogrep/transcribe.py` as well as `moviepy/audio/io/readers.py`.

And I'm not sure how easy adding real support for that would be, considering that moviepy doesn't currently have a way to support it (https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy/issues/1654)

I just started playing around with the transcription part after seeing this blog post. Consider giving it a try.

I'm not sure how well most subtitle sources will work with this. I don't think they'll generally embed the word timings needed for picking out fragments (just line timings). The blog post mentions it being the case for `.srt` specifically. Not 100% sure, someone with better understanding of the subtitle formats would be able to correct me.

FWIW I'm finding the video transcription to be working quite well (and I even decided to use Japanese-speaking media because I wanted to see how well vosk handles it).

It might be my system, but the transcription is unfortunately a bit slow/single threaded. I quickly added a GNU `parallel` in front of the transcription step to speed up processing an entire season.

Oh hey, thanks for the info!

I spent some time evaluating Arc for my team's ETL purposes and I was really impressed. I hesitated somewhat to move forward with it because it seemed really tied into the Spark ecosystem (for great reasons). We just weren't at all familiar with deploying and operating Spark, so ended up rolling our own scripts on top of (an existing) Airflow cluster for now.

Besides performance reasons, are there any other advantages to porting Arc to run on top of datafusion? If the porting effort was shared somewhere I'd love to dig in and see what the proof-of-concept looks like.

I've been following Arrow and Datafusion dev for a little bit, mostly because the architecture and goals look interesting.

What I'd be curious about is one of the possible use cases mentioned in the Readme: ETL processes. I have yet to come across any projects that are building ETL/ELT/pipeline tools that leverage Datafusion. Might not be looking in the right places.

Would anyone have insight into whether this is simply unexplored territory, or just not as good of a fit as other use cases?

No, you'll just remove them from the economy without their consent, by introducing regulation to artificially lower supply

A few things:

1. Presumably any carbon tax would have to be secured and defended by our democratic institutions. Thus we would have consent (or as close as you can get to large scale consent in our multi-actor society). While I agree that regulating basic consumption for large swaths of the economy has a bit of an authoritarian bend to it, I'm not sure how else we incentivize ourselves to decrease consumption.

2. Lowered supply is not a given. Companies would be incentivized to find production chains, energy sources, and materials that had a lower impact (and thus a lower tax). Less impactful products would be able to price themselves under the high-impact products and satiate the demand.

EDIT Added 3. Consumption itself is not the enemy. The thing we want to minimize is negative externalities. It just so happens that under our current system, manipulating levels of consumption is the only lever our society has for affecting industrial emissions.

I agree that we will definitely want to do it in a way that minimizes how regressive the outcome is.

The easiest way to get people to buy less is to raise prices.

If we had a carbon tax that correctly priced the environmental impact of goods, it would decrease consumption. Without having to shame people into removing themselves from the economy.

The commenter was talking about a release of create-react-app, which is a starter-kit/scaffold. For such a project with the goals of being a packaged collection of tools/configurations, it seems prudent to only release if your set of tools present a consistent experience.

Many js developers see formatters as a sane default, and create-react-app is a layer in the ecosystem that incorporates it as a "core" piece in the way that you meant above.

I'm curious. Did you have the same reaction when Overwatch removed the ability to play duplicate characters on the same team? If I remember correctly, that change happened between seasons 1 and 2.

To apply your reasoning above, removing that ability was a "short term" (rules based) solution to a "long term" problem (balancing the hero roster to make duplicate heroes work in a competitive environment)

Ah, it seems I did overlook the significance of that part.

My apologies.

EDIT: Disregard

Comment was:

This is testosterone administered to a fully formed brain. While it's still an interesting result, I would hesitate to make extrapolations to brain-developmental environments or developmental disorders.

Definitely. In order for WW style tablets, I think the biggest hurdles would be material science.

It's also sci-fi and the rule of cool. If someone wanted to parody WW, then a fun scene would be the tech support at HQ. Imagine seeing main characters treating them as disposable and regularly having to pick up new ones.

While I'm really glad that Yang is in the race, and I would definitely vote for him if he got to the General Election, I think the chance of reducing gridlock will be small. Anything outside of the current Dem consensus would need to be sold to his own party first, and then somehow find the right stick/carrot to get the (likely republican) Senate to agree.

There's also the possibility that he only enters office with enough political capital to do the above exactly once. Personally, I believe if he only gets one shot transformative legislation then I'd like to see something that moves the needle on his UBI proposals (the "dividend" marketing is spot on I think). Mostly because I expect subsequent reforms to be easier once a stronger social safety net is in place.

If Yang made it, what would you want to see him put his capital behind? I could see the argument for it being privacy legislation, seeing as he is in a unique position to market that to the typical voter (nobody in this thread expects the party leaderships to prioritize it).

Why do you say that? the headline might have been hyperbolic, but the contents of the article don't seem anywhere near Ayn Rand.

Approaching this issue from the perspective of management quality is interesting. I'm curious what metrics/outcomes you are using to make your case. What specific benefits accrue to US corporations due to their advantageous managerial environment?

Is it something along the axes of innovation, efficiency, or profitability?

Keeping in mind that the article we're discussing already frames the discussion as (paraphrasing): US management and boards are great at their job, but are the assumptions behind corporate governance/stakeholding correct?

Agree. I love the design behind the Westworld folding tablets. I don't see myself jumping aboard the train until we get at least a little bit closer to that form factor.

Thank you for mentioning! I was under the impression that I had it enabled, but your comment got me to check.

By being an American citizen, are you tacitly approving drone strikes? No. By paying taxes that fund drone strikes, are you tacitly approving drone strikes? No.

To me, the answer to those questions is not as clear cut as you are portraying. My gut reaction to those questions is to answer that, yes, those attributes in a vacuum imply tacit approval.

That is not to say of course anything about guilt or moral judgement. It is relatively easy to dissuade someone from assuming that approval by speaking against drone strikes.

For an American taxpayer, absent any opposition (private or public) the tacit approval is a default assumption. Not a strong one though.

Hey, as a fellow ADHD sufferer, I totally agree that fine-grained reminders and the "remind me again in X minutes" functionality is huge in a productivity app. I find that a reminders-based app needs to have a fairly specific level of forcefulness, or basically the ability to "nag" you. Too often, and it becomes noise. Too forceful, and I find myself hating the experience and it backfires.

That said, I'm actually getting a lot of mileage from a new one I'm trying "Due" (iOS/mac only. unfortunately). Really lightweight reminder system with a great snooze feature at its core. Recommend giving it a shot.

My current system is two-tiered. I have a traditional to-do manager (Omnifocus) for more abstract project tracking, and a lighter weight app (Due) for reminders. Not having it all in one system, or integrated between the two is kind of a plus for me in some ways. When I get a reminder, I don't have to "load" the full context (and emotional baggage) of the overall project/task in order to make a decision. It becomes more reflexive, with the easiest options being to just do it or pick another time for the reminder.

This looks great.

I'm interested in the possibility of running a private mirror. Does anybody know if they've release the source for proxy.golang.org? I can't seem to find it in the golang github org.

I think the hostility seems focused in two areas.

* Brave browser still being chromium under the hood. It's not the worst thing in the world, but there's plenty of sound technical/ideological reasons to be against a browser engine monoculture

* A (healthy IMO) skepticism of cryptocurrency backed projects

Do you think those concerns are irrelevant? I find it funny that you accuse HN commenters of being Google shills (my experience is quite the opposite).

Brave skepticism is not automatically pro-Google.

To the issues raised in the article? Unfortunately I don't have one to present to others. Everyone is different and my only advice is to find a professional that can talk through specifics and provide the right approach.

If you're asking more personally, I identify with a lot of the same struggles as outlined in the article and here in the comments, but I stop short of feeling the excessive anxiety. Instead I'm just paralyzed by inaction and have low energy for pursuing any ambition.

I'm currently in the process of ruling out all other possible health factors first (ADHD, hormonal imbalances, sleep deficiencies, metabolic issues), but if those end up being exhausted I'll probably explore Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Training myself to have healthier mappings between emotions <-> thoughts <-> behaviors seems to me like the best approach. And then maybe I'll be capable of applying the sort of "just do what you feel like" advice you provided above.

Dispensing advice like this to someone with anxiety issues is exactly the same as telling someone with depression that they should get out of bed, meet people, be happy for what they have, or smile more.

It is the kind of swapping of cause and effect that many neurotypical people fall into when conversing with those who are suffering. All of the behaviors and habits you describe are largely the result of healthy mental states, not the cause (there can be feedback loops that make the distinction fuzzy, but those feedback loops are very fragile and require constant maintenance).

I'm sure its well intentioned, but it's just not going to be very useful advice.

I’m confident that some humans will survive

Well yes, at our current technology levels ecological and climate based collapse has almost no chance of making humans 100% extinct. But I don't think that anyone is arguing the opposite.

The moral calculus for addressing climate change isn't that affected by differences in the survival rate of 0% vs 5% vs 50%. All of the above would be catastrophically bad in human terms.
