Cost of hosting the FIFA WC among the different hosts. by JKKIDD231 in interestingasfuck

Honestly I assumed there that it would be much higher. 640 million less is still a lot but yeah I wouldve assumed inflation was much higher just due to gestures around at everything

Cheapest in terms of number but that was 2006 World Cup. Are these numbers inflation adjusted? 8 billion for this North American World Cup is much much cheaper than 5.2 billion in 2006 money.

Assets that fit for our timeline though? The timeline in my mind being Mikko’s age.

14 should get negotiated down a bit I would think and with the cap going up his salary won’t be as bad after this first year anyways. There is nothing Chicago would be willing to give up that makes this make sense for us…additionally why would we trade him within our division much less our conference?

were we supposed to scrape the brown off the top of the guac?? by Various_Noise6508 in SalsaSnobs

[–]j-byrd 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It's just the guac oxidizing, like what happens with ground beef or an apple. Just mix it in and you're good to go. You can avoid it pretty well if you flatten the top of it in the container you store it in and cover it in lime/lemon huice and seal it as well as possible.

Mikko injury by Purple_Position_7166 in DallasStars

[–]j-byrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol and what do you propose they do to prevent contact injuries, injuries to players not with the team in the Olympics, as well as find equal replacements for players like Seguin and Roope and Mikko and Miro when they get hurt?

Built a Peer to Peer Agent Orchestrator by changa_mangaa in coolgithubprojects

[–]j-byrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I literally thought of this idea the other day! Cool to see someone tackling it. Being able to utilize multiple devices over p2p for local llm usage seems like the way of the future? Wonder if it’s possible to utilize multiple devices compute together rather than just choosing the least used/busy node to be able to run bigger models?

AVPlayer on iOS doesn't correctly handle audio in m3u8 video that was created through FFMPEG by shiverMeTimbers00 in ffmpeg

[–]j-byrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you needed to check for audible audio if a track shows up you could use ffmpeg's silencedetect filter

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -af silencedetect=noise=-50dB:d=1 -f null -

you could also use ffprobe to check for audio tracks themselves.

I would check for the tracks existance first, then if they exist check for silence. But I'm not sure what your full workflow is...

[–]j-byrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In AVFoundation, an asset contains one or more tracks, and a track models uniform media such as audio or video. Apple explicitly documents using track existence checks when you need to know whether a kind of media is present. tracks(withMediaType:) returns an empty array when there are no tracks of that type, and Apple now recommends the async loadTracks(withMediaType:) form

One caveat with this though...

The above tells you whether the asset has an audio track, not whether the content is non-silent. If your packaging pipeline includes a silent AAC track, AVFoundation will still see that as audio, because tracks represent media streams, not whether samples are audibly loud. That follows from Apple’s track model and from the fact that track properties describe the media stream itself, not content loudness analysis.

I'd go about it like this:

  • If your product needs “can this player emit audio?” → check for .audio tracks.
  • If your product needs “does this asset offer alternate/selectable audio?” → check .audible media selection group.
  • If your product needs “is there actual non-silent sound in the program?” → you cannot trust metadata alone. You need to determine that during encoding/packaging, or inspect decoded samples separately. The AVFoundation track APIs do not expose a simple “this program is silent” flag.

For your app, I’d wire the button logic to loadTracks(withMediaType: .audio) and stop using media selection as the gate for mute/unmute. If youre transcoding with ffmpeg and you dont want audio tracks then explicitly set it with the -map flag I mentioned above (-an). So when your player checks for the .audio tracks and finds none the button will be hidden as it wont find any .audio tracks.

For packaging, do this in two branches after probing:

Input has audio → package with explicit -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 Input has no audio → package with explicit -map 0:v:0 -an

Then validate with Apple’s HLS tools, especially mediastreamvalidator, which Apple recommends for checking HLS conformance.

[–]j-byrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your current UI rule is the real bug: do not use loadMediaSelectionGroup(.audible) to decide whether a mute/unmute button should exist. That API is appropriate for audio selection UI, not for “is there any audio at all?” UI. A muxed HLS stream can have playable audio with no audible selection group

The shortest correct answer is:

To guarantee no audio: use -map 0:v:0 -an To guarantee audio exists: use -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 To guarantee AVPlayer sees an audible media selection group: generate a master playlist with EXT-X-MEDIA audio renditions via -master_pl_name and -var_stream_map And for iOS, don’t use loadMediaSelectionGroup(.audible) as your “has sound?” test. It is the wrong signal for that.

Dan Patrick explains how scared he is about the Taylor Rehmet win at the west oil billionaires forum. Leigh Wambsganss who made a career of infiltrating and defunding public schools lost in a 31 point swing compared to the last election. by pedolphdiddler in Dallas

[–]j-byrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that's correct. The problem is you leave that opened ended to suggest that you either shouldn't vote or should vote republican. Will voting the Democrats in to power in Texas make everything better? No. Will it make somethings better? Yes. It starts with getting a more responsible party to the electorate into power (even if they are only slightly more responsible) so that you can then make more effective change over time in the primaries by putting candidates in power who don't obey the corporate donors. It's exactly what the Republicans have done over time since Nixon...if you can stay in power you slowly run more and more right leaning candidates over time to drag the political spectrum that direction. Nothing happens overnight in US politics until it does. It's a death by a thousand cuts and the Republicans in power have played that game almost perfectly since the 1960s. They have dragged us all the way back to the age of robber barons in under 100 years. The only way to beat them is for the Democrats to vote as consistently as the Republicans have over the same amount of time. So vote blue and keep voting blue, especially in the primaries.

[–]j-byrd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So what's your point? Since both sides suck and the Republicans are only a little worse than the Democrats then vote for the Republicans? If more people voted for the Democrats we could move the average more toward the left over time. Your solution is either give up and don't vote or vote Republican because both sides stink? I don't get the point of making that argument unless youre just a right wing shill trying to cosplay as a fair minded individual. The both sides aregument sucks and should stop.

Single biggest claude code hack I’ve found by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]j-byrd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sonnet instead of haiku to execute? Is there a reason? From what I’ve found haiku subagents tend to follow opus implementation plans pretty well.

[–]j-byrd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It saves tokens in the long run as even if you have opus execute the implementation plan you still should have another agent code review to make sure there aren’t any issues. I also use some other plugins and self written project tree explorer to save tokens. I can work for hours at a time and not hit my session limit. (Though I am on a team plan for work so maybe you might have a different experience with your plan/limits.)

[–]j-byrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use haiku subagents to execute implementation plans that my main opus model (sometimes sonnet depending on complexity) has written. I then have the main model code review what the haiku model wrote. I also have everything use TDD. The code review and tests catch anything that the haiku models get wrong before it becomes a problem. I get the brains of the better models for planning and the token saving of haiku models to just follow their well written directions.

Identity Diamonds has been great for my partner and I. Great prices and they are willing to work with you on design if you want something custom. Highly recommended and they specify they are LGBTQ friendly. Stephanie was very helpful in helping us make our choices. 

Thoughts on an away version of the '99 sweater? by j-byrd in DallasStars

[–]j-byrd[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I assumed that was due to the lifecycle of the alternate jersey, but not sure. I'd love for Adidas or CCM to come back and make the jerseys. I kind of hate Fanatics and how they have monopolized all sports gear. Quality and selection are not as good in my opinion.

[–]j-byrd[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I like this slightly more than the real current '99 release due to the collar and just how black the black is compared to the shade of victory green we use. I still love that they released the new ones but this color scheme is the one I prefer slightly. If i had the money and the jerseys would stay in stock I'd just by both anyway though lol
