mandeepj··on Lazycut: A simple terminal video trimmer using FFmpeg
I guess I can find another implementation to combine trimmed parts after taking out certain scenes?
mandeepj··on 2026 tech layoffs reach 45,000 in March
> Their last success was acquiring Instagram in 2012.

WhatsApp can be dubbed a success as well, and Oculus wasn't a flop. And, what does that tell you about the company? They can only acquire and integrate products. Why? Because Leetcode (LC). Fk LC, Hard!!!

mandeepj··on Can I run AI locally?
> I formerly used that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for a license

Azure Doc Intelligence charges $1.50 for 1000 pages. Was that an annual/recurring license?

Would you mind sharing your OCR model? I'm using Azure for now, as I want to focus on building the functionality first, but would later opt for a local model.

mandeepj··on First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3B
"The January 6 rioters acted because they knew how bad for the country it would be if the wrong candidate got into office and started a war."

I don't think that's what they were told when they were given marching orders to fight like hell

Now, Someone has to review tests! Just shifting ownership! Claude has just released 'Code Review'. But I don't think you can leave either one on autopilot.

mandeepj··on Yann LeCun raises $1B to build AI that understands the physical world
Appreciate your work! Healthcare is a regulated industry. Everything (Research, proposals, FDA submissions, Compliance docs, Accreditation Standards, etc.) is documented and follows a process, which means there's a lot of thesis. You can't sneak in anything unverified or unreliable. Why does healthcare need a JEPA\World model?
mandeepj··on Traffic from Russia to Cloudflare is 60% down from last year
VPNs didn't help?
mandeepj··on Things I've Done with AI
> Result was amazing. I now actually fully understand the tax position.

You couldn’t do that with TurboTax or block’s tax file? You don’t have to submit or pay.

mandeepj··on New imagery suggests U.S. responsible for Iran school strike
> this is who Republicans are. Guardians of Pedophiles.

They are the worst of the worst! Always projecting!!

Republicans spread hatred about trans people during the day, but at night, they thirst for them and get caught fucking them.

Their voters are just next level dilusionals!!

mandeepj··on New imagery suggests U.S. responsible for Iran school strike
I’m afraid Israel will not hesitate from turning Iran into rubble just like what they did in Palestine.

Israel definitely has a lot of moles in Iran. They weren’t bothered to confirm whether the target is a school. US earlier tried to turn it on Iran’s failed defense launch.

mandeepj··on Noem Can't Explain Why She Hired 8-Day-Old Company for Ad Campaign
Not sure if they'll be ignored, but there's an effort to rein them in

mandeepj··on Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous 'Stop Cop City' Protester
>Proton is a privacy based email server, it is not the dark web where you can do as you please without consequences.

If you are so hard-pressed to do something, then maybe setup your own smtp server

mandeepj··on OpenAI is developing alternative to Microsoft's GitHub
> The founders of GitHub -whatever they got - left 99% of the money on the table.

They weren’t visionaries then? They bailed out way before anyone imagined this AI mania.

mandeepj··on Iran War Cost Tracker
Orange clown has a strange way of looking at things. He's now saying - He's not starting a war, but rather ending one.
mandeepj··on U.S. science agency moves to restrict foreign scientists from its labs
> Foreigners are inferior by definition

Trump's first and current wife are foreign-born. VP's wife was born to immigrants. So, WTF? Republicans never make any sense.

mandeepj··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
> 'All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.'

mandeepj··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
Right! I meant to write ‘Congress’, but mistakenly wrote Senate.
mandeepj··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
First of all, there's no such thing as "Department of War". A department name change is legal/binding only after it's approved by the Senate. Senator Kelly is still calling it DoD (Department of Defense).

> Mass domestic surveillance.

Since when has DoD started getting involved with the internal affairs of the country?

mandeepj··on OpenAI resets spending expectations, from $1.4T to $600B
Oracle said something very similar, a short while ago. Besides a short lived peak, it didn’t do any good to their stock thus market valuation.

I haven't tried, but I think most of the steps you have listed can be done in NotebookLM. Thanks for sharing your workflow. It's great.
mandeepj··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
> 4) Seller gets to keep the returned tax money as pure profit

Seller may not reduce the price as well. Thus, continues to keep the raised price due to tariffs as free profit.

mandeepj··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
Someone else might say ISP (starlink)? But you always go by the parent company unless they have clear boundaries like conglomerates.

mandeepj··on Ghidra by NSA
$160k-$170k is not a bad salary; in some cases they get $250k, but sure, it's not a FAANG type.
mandeepj··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
> Tesla's choice to abandon lidar will be one of the biggest oof in business history.

Tesla's design team prioritized form over function. Lidars definitely look ugly; they didn't want them on their cars, so as a consequence, they shoot themselves on the foot.

mandeepj··on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash
“Canceled” for now. Maybe it was just a video, they’ll continue with the “quiet” development and slowly launch it
