Words to live by.


Where did perching_aix say that?

Do you have sources for that? As far as I know VLC has actually always been famous for supporting basically every format.

ffmpeg supports every format. ffmpeg wrappers don't need add much value in order to also do this.

(Lots of corner cases apply and VLC developers do assist ffmpeg, host a conference, etc.)


TBAA = type-based alias analysis


Or we could, you know, restructure our economy so that we don't have huge semi-monopolies anymore. I know, not going to happen, but one can dream.


And then we would have health insurance and health care level problems with lots of things.


Nope. When on Windows I tend to use one of the US International or the Pseudo VT320 layout from https://keyboards.jargon-file.org/ .


We didn't have the right, obviously, but it has happened and we need to deal with the current situation. And the Netherlands has offered them sovereignty multiple times in the last fifty years, they can leave anytime they want. But nowadays they want to stay in the kingdom, mostly because it offers them some security and stability.


Trump doesn't understand the word "allied".


AML = ?

(edit) Ah, right, anti-money-laundering, found it in your last sentence.


Anti-money laundering.


Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.


Ok so now it's stupid or malicious to use RL as reinforcement learning on a blog about AI where everyone in the field has been referring to it as RL forever? Even wikipedia puts (RL) after reinforcement learning.


That's the normal way to introduce an acronym in an article.

Anyway, I was just saying that however irritating, it's likely just an omission out of forgetfulness, not deliberate clickbait. A minor application of Hanlon's razor.

Seeing the downvotes and even a flag, it appears I'll have to lower my expectation of people's cultural baggage here.


Additionally, replying to "in the field" in GP: this is about the article title. You first have to know which field the article is in, which simply is not clear if you are an HN reader that happens to not be in that field.


There needs to be a new law, applicable to posts on the Internet of any kind.

Because that law doesn't hold, when malice has a massive profit motive, and almost zero downside.

Spammers, popups, spam, clickbait, all of it and more, not stupid, but planned.
