This looks great, but it's not clear to me how to use it for a practical task. I need to transcribe about 10 years worth of monthly meetings. These are government hearings with a variety of speakers. All the videos are on YouTube. What's the most practical and cost-effective way to get reasonably accurate transcripts?

> 10 years worth of monthly meetings

if it's 1 monthly video and thus 120 videos (or so) you could try recall (getrecall.ai not recall.ai that is a similar product with a similar name). They summarize youtube videos, but you get the transcript. AFAIK you cannot batch the processing and you have to add each video one by one, that's why 100 or 200 videos is doable but probably not thousands.

Has anyone yet designed a language with the explicit goal of being cheapest/easiest to use by an AI coding agent?

I see tons one them regularly here. And it's probably useless because LLM need a ton of training data

What I really want to see from a "*-programming-language" post on HN is _why_. Why Lily?

99.9% of the time it will be "just because"

I think the worm reproduce better in humans, so if we can cut humans the population in other animals will hopefully decrease. (And probably add a plan to identify and capture infected animals, to ensure this.)

You are right. Wikipedia write it is limited to dogs, cat and baboons, and that animal hosts have been only proved in the 2010s, so I guess they are unlikely to become infected by the parasite

But the question would be how many more go undetected in those animals. (I.e if wild animals carry it, how accurate are these numbers).

glancing at the wikipedia page on the topic it seems that it is limited to dogs, cat and baboons, and animal hosts have been only proved in the 2010s, so I guess they are unlikely to become infected by the parasite

The decrease from 3.5 million cases to only 15 is impressive but I don't see how we can eradicate zoonoses

Perhaps next time read the whole article?

> Finally, can it be flown legally? Most of the trajectory can pass over the oceans, but skipping land completely would take too much of a detour, and likely be incompatible with prevailing winds. Although the political climate may be hostile, it is still legal to fly civil craft over other countries.

It's legal to fly a civil craft over other countries but it doesn't mean there are no rules. The article touches the subject a bit at the end but doesn't go very much into details so I guess it's either a thought experiment or a planned in a future far enough that it is not relevant yet

They're still quintupling down on their sad Python-lite clone language and toy inbuilt text editor, what a damn shame. Still no way to avoid GC in C#. Godot had real potential, but they continue to insist it is a playground for learning about game development, rather than a tool to release a real game. If a fraction of gdscript and editor manhours had gone into real engine development, it would be better than Unity by now.

It has been used for pretty successful games on steam
