The Death of Partying in the USA and Why It Matters

news.ycombinator.com Derek Thompson 2025-09-03 06:43:43

In January, The Atlantic's Ellen Cushing published an essay with an admirably blunt title: “Americans Need to Party More.” Burrowing into the appendix tables of the American Time Use Survey, she unearthed the fact that just 4.1 percent of Americans said they “attended or hosted” a party or ceremony on a typical weekend or holiday in 2023. In other words, in any given weekend, just one in 25 US households had plans to attend a social event. The ATUS is a government questionnaire that asks a larg

HyAB k-means for color quantization

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-03 07:34:30

This in theory should result in better image quality. I’ve been obsessing over color quantization algorithms lately, and when I learned that an image conversion app called Composite did its so-called pixel mapping step in CIELAB space, I instantly thought of the “HyAB” color distance formula I’d seen in the FLI

Judge Slaps Down FCC Rule That Would’ve Made It Easy to Cancel Your Subscriptions

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-03 07:00:37

On July 14, the Federal Trade Commission’s long-awaited rule would have required businesses to make it easy for consumers to cancel subscriptions. Instead, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit has clicked to cancel the rule entirely, leaving us all stuck suspended in the elaborate web of subscription services. The three-judge panel, which included two who were appointed to the court during Donald Trump’s first term, voted unanimously to turn back the click-to-cancel rules that were dra

ChatGPT made up a product feature out of thin air, so this company created it

On Monday, sheet music platform Soundslice says it developed a new feature after discovering that ChatGPT was incorrectly telling users the service could import ASCII tablature—a text-based guitar notation format the company had never supported. The incident reportedly marks what might be the first case of a business building functionality in direct response to an AI model's confabulation. Typically, Soundslice digitizes sheet music from photos or PDFs and syncs the notation with audio or video
