News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hey all, figured I would share what I'm working on here. It's been a long frustrating road, learning how to train a custom ball detection model, but here we are.. Just about ready!
this was a weekend project that I wanted to share. If you know anything about the world of stage lighting, lighting software sucks. I decided to have Claude connect all of my lights, bypassing software, and it built a pipeline for creating automatic/AI-generated light shows.

Enttec DMX ARTNet device -> Computer -> Claude indexed all DMX fixtures, channel mappings, and built a control panel

Hey all, creator here. Share your scores after you finish. It's not easy!
Wrong. Money, power & control. If you limit what one can do if they don't have a vaccine, you create an artificial demand for the vaccine, thus driving profits through the roof.

Basic economics there.

I won't be getting my "ID" card if they ever make one.

"Not that some wealth redistribution wouldn't be nice" == "Not that some theft wouldn't be nice"
The green new deal is absolute garbage, along with this notion of "social justice", christ.
Re:When Henry Ford Doubled His Minimum Wage (2014) on Thursday May 02, 2019 @09:01AM (#19807389)
100% agree. In Ford's case, it was a voluntary decision to attract and keep the best workers. In the case of federally mandated minimum wage, it's a threat of force against business owners who are otherwise acting peacefully and quite literally, minding their own business.

Raising the minimum wage results in: - A raise in the price of products (hurting the poor the most) - Firing employees - Reducing hours - Going out of business - Outsourcing

I'm a business owner, and I'm not going to sit here eating up the cost of a higher minimum wage. The central planners don't seem to understand this -- or they do, and they ultimately want more people dependent on them. If that's the case, raising the minimum wage is a great idea.

Government. I didn't read it, but that's the reason.

And many countries are authoritarian shitholes who care more about revenue generation than protecting people. People don't need a speedometer to drive safely.
Yeah, but that's not like a huge badge of honor. I can build a site and make it hit beyond a 200k alexa within a few months with minimal effort.
Re:Static site generators need less rigid content APIs on Thursday October 11, 2018 @12:22PM (#18194818)
No mention of NuxtJS in the article or in the comments here. I highly suggest checking out nuxtjs.org (built on Vue) with the `npm run generate` command to generate a static site.
"Bezos is no fool. He will reduce his headcount, and step up his automation effort to eliminate as many low-skilled jobs from Amazon. Then he will lobby Congress to increase the minimum wage for his competitors that still employ lower-skilled workers. As these competitors will lack the resources to automate, they will be driven out of business, and all their workers will lose their jobs. Less competition will make it easier for Amazon to raise prices." - Peter Schiff

I'm all for voluntarily raising wages for your employees; that's a great thing. But if we see that Amazon is backing efforts to raise the minimum wage, we'll know Schiff was right.

Re:Amazon raises minimum wage to $15 for all US employees on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @12:53PM (#18123414)
Get ready for higher Amazon prices. Raising the minimum wage == raising prices, laying off employees, etc == hurts the poor the most.
UBI is an absolutely terrible idea by the way. The problems you speak of would only get worse.
Do you want to pay more for Amazon products? Because that's what you'll get if Mr. Socialist Sanders has his way.
Re:YouTube (Un)Blocks Blender Videos on Friday June 22, 2018 @10:17AM (#17374108)
As a YT creator with 200k+ subscribers, shit like this scares me. Fortunately, I do not put all my eggs in one basket, and YouTube is just one of 4 ways I monetize my business.
