I don't think this is correct, one of my colleagues made a MVP using ChatGPT a month ago (I don't know how it works internally, but it was fully integrated with our system, a multi job posting system).

That is (probably) because the editor uses certain marks in the video (I don't remember how they are called) that "group" the frames together, and you can't use simple editors to re encode the video.
I had this issue some time I tried to cut videos from my gf. Then I moved to ShotCut, that cuts the videos exactly where you want, although the walkthrough is a little longer.

[1] I made a comment before regarding how HN works, and usually when one certain issue piques interest there's an influx of related posts.
Somebody develops something, gets a lot of buzz, doesn't deliver, buzz dies slowly, and then several years in the future somebody else actually builds the tech stack needed for it, and it takes off again.
Voice assistance, chat robots [1]... the metaverse.
[1] Several years back I attended a chat in my city where some people from IBM showed us how to implement a chatbot I think with Watson.
Beyond the trivial examples, it was nearly impossible to implement anything (Or the people giving the chat didn't know how to implement those) but the documentation was nowhere to be found beyond those trivial examples.
some of them I want to keep for "reasons" so every once in a while I do some cleaning.
Firefox has now that beautiful feature that originated in Chrome where each window has a drop down (To right, a rotated "greater than" - or "smaller than" - symbol pointing down) that lists all the tabs ina window, and I can close them from there.
So, cleaning time just got slimmed down greatly :)
As a side note, what I truly like about random comments like this is the app naming. Never ever had heard of Yakuake, but that looks seriously interesting (Tough luck I'm on MacOS now).
Fetching Kate as we speak.
Before, Firefox would bring the laptop to a crawl with ~200 tabs (Yeah, I know). Having PHPStorm open at the same time was a sure machine killer.
Just today I found myself casually with close to 350 tabs, while at the same time working in PHPStorm with no issues.
In my experience (My previous box was a Thinkpad T430 with 16 GB of RAM running Debian) linux is far from this good handling memory.
Also, the state management in MacOS is equal to no one. I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 (I7), and having to wait for it to restart when I open the lid is excruciating. I should put a "This is my pos laptop" on it.
I'm no industry expert, but I wouldn't trust EM with my mom's bakery.
But as you state, there's nobody countering my comment.
All in all, interesting times. Obviously nobody wants a non-democratic US, but if that happens, I'm going to have the popcorn ready.
Gerrymandering, yo.
This is _such_ a US centric view. Guys, you have way a worst problem than elections. You have a party strongly pursuing getting rid of democratic results altogether.
Beyond the stated (That G word) the republican party is STRONGLY preparing the landscape to not recognize the results of the next election (Or the next one after that).
I actually have a bet with a friend about when the last democratic election is going to happen, and my money is on this last midterms being the ones (Gotta reckon, I wasn't expecting Gen-Z, and I'm gladly surprised I might be wrong).
Take for instance the last election in Brazil, where Lula beat Bolzonaro by the bare minimum: 51% to 49%. What would had been the results of such an election in the US? In 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1%, and _still_ Trump won the presidential race. In 2020, even thought Biden wan the popular vote by a large margin, the results were still down to a handful of votes [1]
The problem, as I see it, is that you have a democratic system that allows for suppressing democracy.

> and would say something like this on a public forum
Why, is it a crime against humanity, or what? Based as well on my experience, there are things said constantly in public forums that are much worst than this.
How high is the moral pedestal you are standing on?
Some time ago (~6 months) my company was looking to hire a programmer.
We don't have a established process for this as it was some years since we hired a coder, but then we are in the industry (hiring) so published a couple of adverts here and there and we got the thing rolling.
Most of the applicants were seriously under qualified, and my colleagues had to go through a lot of rubbish in the form of CVs in order to find suitable candidates.
But a few of them were good enough to at least make it to the interview step, and off the invitations went.
One of'em candidates - Let's call him "Rajeed" - promptly accepted the meeting, and due to the small amount of people that made it that far - let me remind you, first interview - my colleagues were slightly excited, but at the same time also weary as our experience with coders from India is far from stellar.
You can imagine my colleagues surprise when they opened the Zoom session and Rajeed was nowhere to be found. Instead, there were two person of whom we knew nothing about - apparently they were running some sort of coding shop - and when my colleagues asked for Rajeed they just said "Oh, it's OK, it's OK. You can talk to us."
For obvious reasons the meeting didn't last long.
We ended up hiring a coder from Poland that, even thought he was decent, was miles ahead of the rest of the candidates.
I'm not "writing off" a billion people. But. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
I did some research when this happened, and they even have a name for this [1]
Coincidentally, our experience with people from Easter Europe is quite the opposite: Of all the people we hired from there, all except one were stellar (And the "one" was also good, just that he had some greys ethically: Had a disagreement with our boss, and disappeared over a weekend after siphoning large amounts of data from our system)

Luckily I'm using PLA for printing, but I do plan to take the printer out to the balcony once I start printing "big" pieces.
I've always been fascinated with robotics, and the barrier to entry is getting lower by the second.
But I want to know all the details, so I'm going slow and steady at it (Like, instead of using libraries - at least when learning - I'm coding 100% of the stepper motor control routines).
I plan on making my own designs, and make my own versions of known ones: The first thing I want to try my hand at is either (my own version of) a PolarGraph or an AxiDraw.
Then I'll move to other things, also in the early stages of designing a chess playing (arm) robot.
What I would do, is establish a more or less organized schedule, but letting her know that you will set apart a certain amount of time daily to play with her. What to do with then, is up to her.
Also, try to get her involved with the house chores. As long as it doesn't feel like work - obviously don't make her work - she'll also enjoy those tasks, while at the same time learning, getting used to it, and enjoying her time with you.

This is an interesting article, but I haven't seen this happening much (yet).
First and foremost you have to recognize that Argentina is a very large country, with very different local economies, so there isn't a "one size fits all" experience.
All this brings back memories from my childhood (I'm in my late 40s) when there was a period of hyper inflation in the country; my parents used to tell the stories about those times when they went to the market right after getting their salaries and would pick stuff from the shelves before the person that was up marking the prices (This happened sometimes twice a day) got to the stuff they were picking.
But I wouldn't agree that this note is that accurate.
You have to understand that, except for the past 5 or so years where we had inflation rise almost from a single digit [1] to where we are now, we had a period of around 10 years with inflation below 11% (and some times as low 5%, as per the graph) a few years of turmoil (2001 - 2003) and then around 10 years (If I recall correctly), the last decade of the 20th century, of the dystopian "1 peso - 1 dólar".
So, basically, out of the past 30 years, the very first 25 were very easy for us compared to the previous decades.
What is stated in the article might apply to people +40 that might remember what the 80s were, and are frightened for what the future looms. But for a lot of middle class Argentinians this is new territory, up to the point where a lot of people that has money to expend (again, middle class) struggle with the prices - in a very first world problems way - because prices vary so rapidly that it's impossible to know if something is expensive or not.
I wouldn't go (much ;) ) on the economics of it at length because that's not what this article is about; my position is that the peronists failed to seize the opportunity they had in the first decade of this century, and then failed miserably trying to hide their failures. And the next government (Macri's) literally did a pull rug of the country's reserves with the 50+ bill credit lent by the IMF.
Besides that, as stated in other comments in this thread there are a lot of "funny" things happening like the mess of regulations that you have to go through when working for a company in a foreign country when you loose aprox. 60% of your buying power if you do enter the money illegally (While, at the same time, tourists are allowed to get legally a close to black-market rate for their money), or the fact that the tax brackets for freelancers do not keep up with inflation at all, thus actually inviting evasion.

As an Argentinean, I can tell you that _nobody_ in this country (And, very likely, in the whole world) can explain our inflation.
