naktinis··on Where does next-token prediction leave us?
The question is what classes of jobs will replace the ones made obsolete by a particular innovation, and how many vacancies there will be. With electricity we had managerial, creative, high dexterity, etc. jobs. If a sufficient amount of human capabilities are replaced then that may be different to electricity. Also it's about how many top-tier "power plants" (AI, robotics) there are, who owns them, and once "everything is solved" (which it isn't yet) how much of that will trickle down to everyone else's life quality.
naktinis··on Google Bard AI Now Has the Ability to Understand YouTube Videos
It seems it's only based on the transcript for now. For example when I asked to comment on visual content it mentioned requiring a captions file:

> I'm sorry, but I'm unable to access this YouTube content. This is possible for a number of reasons, but the most common are: the content isn't a valid YouTube link, potentially unsafe content, or the content does not have a captions file that I can read.

naktinis··on Slack Is Down
It was updated just now with a message saying "Users are having trouble connecting to Slack". So about 15 minutes since the comment above. However, I think the first reports started a bit earlier, so maybe 30 minutes is a better estimate.

Will be interesting to see how long it takes them to update the status page. I will use this comment as a timestamp.

Client down for me. Can't send messages. Same for my colleague in another country.
naktinis··on The Framework Laptop is now shipping
Very excited to see modular and repairable tech in production! Just wanted to make a top-level comment in support of a trackpoint option. Given modular design and the Marketplace it could make sense to have a simple drop-in replacement for the keyboard module that would potentially lure many hardcore Thinkpad fans.
naktinis··on Firefox Picture-in-Picture
It may be a nice feature, but for me Firefox's implementation seems to be a bit too intrusive, because as a developer I can't disable it and it is always visible as a browser-styled overlay.

Not all video elements are for stand-alone consumption. For example, there are "hero" videos in landing pages, enterprise solutions requiring smart overlays, or imagine a component in an online video editor.

Firefox also have no plans to support the Picutre-in-picture web API: https://www.w3.org/TR/picture-in-picture/.

See, for example, this bugzilla issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1611831

naktinis··on Froont Wants To Keep Developers Out Of The Responsive Web Design Process
I don't think this is a mock-up tool. If I'm not mistaken, this is a design tool that produces production-ready HTML.
naktinis··on Tell HN: Take My Idea - A Social Calendar
This is exactly what we are doing in toostis.com. We try to create a one-in-one tool for sharing this kind of information with your interest circles (that we call "tribes"). Currently when you log in and start attending events the recommendation algorithm learns about different social groups you belong to.

One needs to consider three approaches of forming an interest circle: shared (an explicit list of members), individual (each user maintains several lists of his friends) and automatic (extracting subgraphs of user relation according to attendance).

What we are currently willing to provide is the combination of them all. Automatic extraction is fun to play with, but you always want more control over it. We are also preparing to launch something similar to the shared model, where you could subscribe to an organizer which is basically a group of related events.
