OSN did it on their youtube for their old OSL series, I think it can be done better but I think original still is much better to look at, at a corresponding resolution.

The key expression for playlists or yt browsing is this `AI 업스케일`

This is what I mostly miss in all the AI-related stuff churned out. Any tool will only be ever useful as well we understand it. Like, how many hours must have been put into this project, insane! And the results look tangible. I hope other project authors take note b/c this seems to me to only way to diverge from the path of overwhelming information that Stanislaw Lem has warned about.
How would you handle export / import functionality?

I really like the inversion of block to allow I think it makes sense.

In my use-case I would allow different lists for different profiles

(on the other hand I have blacklisted domains that I block regardless of using work / private / family profiles)

[1] 5+ years of backend/studio/technician/etc -- Co-founder of a startup community radio and radio studio, where we also wrote an archiver Api and back-end for all our radio shows and live broadcasts. We hope to provide an easier and simpler solution than airplay.fm, mixcloud, soundcloud that is private and self-hosted. - https://github.com/lahmacunradio/liquidsoap - https://github.com/lahmacunradio/arcsi

I'm also running the infrastructure for [1], [2].

I have worked a lot in my local communities to create successful non-profit startups which is why I can not currently relocate. Besides [2], [3] as part of a DIY group, renovated 900sqm into rehearsal space and venue. I wrote a chat bot that handles all necessary administration (ie. a stripped down Loomio). I hope to illustrate that I have a strong set of soft skills when it comes to meetings, organising, I work free and autonomously with a systems thinking approach that creates value. [2], [3], and this one as well are all volunteer non-paid jobs I work on in my free time. I'm looking for a new job after 7~ish years at a startup doing [0] and a small sabbatical break. I hope to not have been a bother thanks for listening!

Recently I've been working as a devops/release engineer specialising in mobile application deployments so I got fairly familiar with gradle and xctool internals.

I'm curious and would like to learn and earn challenges.

I have worked a lot in my local communities to create successful non-profit startup. A web radio and archive system; and a co-op management suite for a DIY community space. These are volunteer jobs so I would like to earn money beside so I won't burn out.

Note: It might be guessable but rather I would like to state, for me ethics is quite important when selecting workplace. This limits my potential jobs but I hope that there are good things on this board!

This manga is part of the variety art works series which transcribes (transdraws?) important literary works for younger japanese who might not have the understanding yet to read them in their orig. translation.

You can find a list of series here: https://myanimelist.net/people/21441/Variety_Art_Works

Edit: This is the same series that includes mein kampf and capital, both which have had many panels screenshotted you can find around the net circulating (f.e. if you'we ever met a mangaised Marx, or some weird collection of nazi's illustrated they are quite common tropes)

> There are simply a lot of people out there who can’t live alone without lots of help. To think otherwise is insanity.

> housing first simply doesn’t work, (...) implementation is much more complicated than that.

Thanks for sharing your experiences as well which helps understanding your position. However by your comment you seem to be arguing with yourself. I totally agree that they need support that's what I'm advocating for. You are the one in our discussion advocating against (or, at least, pointing out fairly hypothetical and broad-scoped reasons for possible failure) any advancement on giving that "lots of help" (eg. basic human decency). Surely you can't mean that leaving these poor people on the street, or moving them to an island for some zoning law schenanigans or just general sociopathic disregard (if they need it -- shouldn't they be consulted what is that they need?) looking through them or commenting here how giving them housing won't work, is a way towards giving them that?

Just for the fun of it you might try to imagine a situation where your home gets broken into you are robbed of your posessions, your sense of security but worse follows, a misinterpreted word on your interview with the kind insurance guy, or a mail never delivered makes them mark you suspicious and stall on paying you. You have no friends or ones you have are out of town, your parents can't pay for your accomodation, you spend a few nights at a hotel but then you might not have more cash, you are out of options and spend a few nights strolling or staring in a McDo, stressed out and tired. US has this stupid no-notice firing thing, so let's say after a week of no-show you get to charge your laptop to see you have been terminated. Now imagine how would you like others and the society to handle you and your situation. In one world you are now described as an addict, homeless person that might be unable to live alone on some webforums.

>Are they allowed to cook meth in the place they are given? What about renting it out so they can get some money to buy drugs? Do they have to ever clean it to avoid bug and rat infestations? What happens when their dealer comes to collect? And will neighbors tolerate a dramatic uptick in porch piracy and prowling needed to get money to buy those drugs?

Most of the comments here makes me incredibly upset and disgusted just by their nature of inhumane scape-goating and denigrating from a privileged position. But its not just that, I lost some hope that people here would be curious enough not to bring up these shitty panels. But these questions are especially wrong, not just by the attitude but also because it is totally irrelevant to homeless of Houston.

All these questions you ask apply to sheltered people with addiction, or sheltered people dealing to people with addiction, and mind you old people (elders, grandparents, who you might think much of and respect [rightly so!]) who can not take care of themselves anymore, as well.* Why would you need to differentiate let alone lump all of homeless people under the label of "addict." Some are addicts yes, however have you thought that this might be not the cause but the effect of their state? They are easy targets for blame, wouldn't you agree that it is intellectually quite an easy way out of interacting with part of our society? Why would you point fingers at those who lose for the whole slew of issues with how modern societies are priced and functioning? For me your comment comes off as an example of ignorant and narrow-minded attitude: assuming the worst and pointing out all the why-nots. I encourage you to study this issue and read upon it, just here for example on HN if you search for homelessness there is a nice study on how Finland provides for them. I hope you can develop some empathy towards these people who are behind the veneer of urban filth just the same as you or me or ancestors from 500 years ago.

Disclaimer: I have been homeless while sober and have been an addict while sheltered and working.

* As far as I know, the contract between old people and society is to move them to homes for the elderly. Which makes me think that while there is more love and money involved, the motives and solutions are the same to both problems
