It is not "simply wrong." Do not get "fixated" on materially fixed. The point is to be fixed in a tangible form of expression, that can be communicated / disseminated / published and most importantly copied.

Undeveloped film meets none of these criteria even though the light has been "fixed" on the film. Are you disputing that images can be viewed, transmitted, etc until negatives have been created, authoring a work that can be copied?

It is not a trivial matter either. Consider computer source code. Let's call that expressive, fine. That binary machine code is "copyright" even though no one can read it has caused amounts of untold grief.

A link to a case in 1884? A commenter after my own heart! Thanks for sharing. However, that seminal case affirming copyright status to art photography has little to say regarding whether undeveloped film has the same status. In fact, according to its reasoning that has since been deemed faulty it requires that the "film" be developed to see the subject matter (must be artistic).

The issue was lithographs (images) of Oscar Wilde were duplicated without photographer consent produced from plates (developed film).

I actually felt that the instructions weren't that clear if you were joining via the app. I incidentally did join some of the rooms after the actual conference, but FOSDEM could have provided more instructions beyond "sign up on our server and use the web client" - the main Android App client, and most popular server are hardly niche. And many people already have that setup. I did eventually work out how to find the chats - but it took me a while too
> if you are unable to find out that 90 percent of people can't use a major feature

How would the users know they can't use a feature they don't know it exists?

Let's say you add a brilliant new feature X, but due to a bug the users can't load the code for that feature so they never see it. How would they know to submit a form feedback for a feature they don't know it's there?
File monitoring is particularly slow, though not for any fundamental reason. But you can still monitor lots of files efficiently by just limiting which files you look for, which lots of companies do.
There are a bunch of people who think that their mail system is named Thunderbird.
But on the flip side I have shallow conversations that dribble my attention away throughout my entire day.

The first time I worked for myself - pre social media - was really, really lonely. This pandemic and lockdown is really, really lonely.

I can silence my phone, I can turn the screen away from me. I can focus when I want to. But it's truly a blessing knowing I have WhatsApp groups with friends just bantering away throughout the day. Doesn't have to be meaningful, it's just great having that "water cooler" interaction.

Wow. I've heard some really narrow and privileged perspectives in my time, but that one is really something.
I will only ever commit to a homework assignment if the employers' commitment level is on par.
For example, if they want me to do a homework assignment before meeting the hiring manager, no way. In other words, the assignment CANNOT be the first gate otherwise companies will just spray and pray then find the most desperate candidates.
> Pinkerton are the corporate security company of choice for a lot of organisations...including Facebook

> I wonder why multiple people read his comment as pro Pinkertons

It was stated as a whataboutism, which is a defensive tactic.

If the point was to indicate that the Pinkertons are not unusual, then that would be the subject. Instead, it reads as "this is not unusual", which is incorrect, regardless of intent.
A very optimal mission.
Re 2: I believe he had in mind a class used only to define some static methods.

The original OO language, that is the lambda calculus, had no reference comparison -- All You Can Do Is Send A Message is the slogan in general. http://www.erights.org/elib/equality/grant-matcher/history.h... lists some less familiar ones.

Given mutability, identity determines how a message to one object reference affects what happens when you invoke another one. If you go up from the above URL you'll see a bunch more discussion.
> Running linux on laptops is still a gamble

I believe the same is true of OS X, which only works reliably on something like 12% of laptops sold.
As right as you can get them in an imperative programming language, perhaps, but the semantics of closing over environments containing mutable variables is still confusing to even the smartest of people (cf. [1]; it's about Python, but JavaScript has essentially the same nature in this regard).

"Prague's Cemetery" has its moments. It's better than "Queen Loana", but that's not saying much. I wouldn't recommend either.
You shouldn't be offended that Rob Pike thinks he's a much more advanced programmer than your average programmer.

He is.

Whatever his motivations, he created a very productive language. As it turns out, even advanced programmers benefit from having a simple language when it comes to getting practical work done.

oh for sure. I differ though in that that's not the comparison being drawn in the article. TFA compares iPhone apps to pimply kids making web pages for local businesses in < 2001, and not, as you suggest, to developing web apps.

I had a few friends in high school that made decent money making websites for eg a local car dealership. It was easy because it's just HTML.

Not so happy with gvim. Can't use anything that returns immediately or else the code doesn't see what you're doing.
I assume that the same technique that he used to prove the 4 color theorem can be directly applied to testing drivers (some sort of approach to addressing the halting problem???) and therefore makes it easier to spot leaks and bugs?

> Apple should have put iPhone 4 units on display in Moscone, like they did with the original iPhone at Macworld 2007, if only to inspire developers to create double-resolution artwork for the custom UI elements

I think the Simulator provides all the inspiration a developer needs. Seeing your work suddenly presented to you at twice the resolution and detail is very stunning and thought provoking.
This is kind of a privileged take. There are many people where struggle is survival, not an opportunity for growth.

Unless theres an equal playing field for all and everyone has means to overcome their suffering, then this "God" is nothing more than perverse and cruel, not some kind of benevolent parental figure encouraging us to edification.

I reckon a lighter hammer swung faster is more likely to end up with a bent nail.

Also, exponential would be 2^v. v^2 is quadratic.

(And you need to sub in the F=ma part as well to demonstrate your point, so your gain from the lighter hammer should be less than quadratic. Exercise left to the reader.)

NVIDIA Broadcast is only available on Windows (but free and works very well if you have a RTX card). Use it if available!

It's sad that OpenCL development seems to have lost its way. I have some OpenCL workloads where a running on a CPU is faster and some where GPUs are much quicker. The beauty of OpenCL is that I can choose between the two with zero code changes.

But CUDA and ML have steamrollered everything!
And SSN shouldn't be used as authentication either. It's too easy to steal, too hard to change.

We have a similar issue with Finnish Personal Identity Codes, which are legally public, but there are restrictions related to their processing. Which leads to the common misunderstanding that they're secret, so they're used for authentication. It's a mess.

Suppose you want to defeat a "Reflections on Trusting Trust" attack and bootstrap a toolchain source code you believe is clean to produce binaries that are clean. You need to compile llvm/clang (or gcc). You start with something small you can audit manually, use it to build binaries that can compile llvm, then use llvm to build itself to get an optimized compiler that doesn't have malicious code to recognize the password check inside the login binary and emit machine code that is not faithful to the source code.

Sure. It could also be that the end of the second quarter only means that the doses are delivered on 30th of June and that actual vaccination will be a little later than that.
And yes, 4.5 month is a long time, i just wanted to point out that until the end of the summer probably everybody who wants to will have a chance to be vaccinated - at least in Germany. That is though if the organization of actually vaccinating people keeps up with that.

Uhm, a visual HTML designer, a field where we've not had any tool before (/sarcasm). But this is different! And you're totally not going to drop it once you've learnt the complexity and discovered all limitations. But hold on...

Ah yes. So the really complex stuff you'll still do with text. Got it.
See the above thread given in [0]. It sounds weird, but they are talking about the strong CT thesis (e.g. that all realizable models are polynomial-time-reducible to BPP), not just the usual one ( that no realizable model can solve halting-hard problems).

I have heard this line enough with regards to Google that I believe it is Standard Operating Procedure. Your counterparty knows they are in a negotiation. They have been in thousands of negotiations. They have a written list of words to say because they win negotiations.

You can adapt to this environment, for example by coming in with prepared messaging of your own, and not meekly acquiescing to their first offer when their second offer is their first offer plus the food they were going to give you anyhow. (News you can use guys: this is also Standard Operating Procedure.)

Now you either give up everything else Haskell gives you, or you've created a new language. Do you see how both of those solutions are problems in and of themselves?

The battery life is abysmal. These machines use the same batteries as every other piece of contemporary tech.

Spot can walk about for 90 minutes top and the more it needs to do (e.g. running additional sensors, performing autonomous functions, etc.), the shorter its battery life will be (I'd guess around an hour is more realistic).

Bipedal prototypes like Atlas wouldn't last that long. Think 20 minutes or so for a heavy robot like that.
I suspect the powers that be will want to send a strong message.

Hi HN,

Author here. I had been fascinated with Andrej Karpathy's article (https://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/) -- especially where it shows neurons being activated in response to brackets and indentation.

I built Ecco to enable examining neurons inside Transformer-based language models.

You can use Ecco to simply interact with a language model and see its output token by token(as it's built on the awesome Hugging Face transformers package). But more interestingly you can use it to examine neuron activations. The article explains more: https://jalammar.github.io/explaining-transformers/

I have a couple more visualizations I'd like to add in the future. It's open source, so feel free to help me improve it.
Sounds like the real punishment should have been the abolishment of the 737 MAX. All the R&D money would be lost and they'd have to start over with a new model.
> Aren't you adding some assumptions about the implementation in your comment?

You'd have a point if they were talking about implementation semantics, but they're talking about language semantics. A Scheme program can assume TCE, a CL program can not, an SBCL program can.
Wait, Spot's power source only lasts minutes?

Ah, its battery runs for 90 minutes.
IIRC the vertex coordinates were single precision floats (at least that's what my 24 year old pascal code uses :-) ) that were then additionally scaled and translated (so the center point was at the floor). What made it wobbly was the animation technique used. It had several animation sequences (walking, running, dying, etc..), each with multiple frame specifying the coordinates of a fixed number of 3D vertices. The indices of those vertices corresponded to the indices in a list of 2D vertices giving coordinated into a single 2D texture. IIRC Animation between frames used linear interpolation.
Oh please what absolute bullshit. Almost in the same vein as all Americans are stupid and know nothing of world affairs.

By the way, bare e-mail is usually enough if you omit bloated signatures and quotations and just send short messages that way. There even is a Telegram clone which actually is an e-mail client.
Yes, and also because in the future people will not own cars. Whenever you need a car, you just order one and within minutes a self-driving car will be in front of your door. Not owning a car also means people will not really want "premium" brand (or perhaps only on special occasions).

This post may draw up a lot of criticism, but if nothing else, kudos to the author for implementing a crypto scheme to understand how it works and for encouraging others to examine and learn.

Now, that isn't to say that we should actually use this library (as-is). You know, don't roll your own crypto for real use. With this particular algorithm, you're putting a lot of faith in the RNG, and it's easy to miss that you need a huge key (or lots of small ones).

Finally, the claim that it's "unbreakable, even in theory" (which comes from the Wikipedia article) to me seems a bit misleading -- isn't the theory usually stronger than any particular implementation? (The word "even" throws me off.)
Enough competition in what? Search generally? No, but that is because every other site sucks, not because google is being bad.

In finding news? yeah, I actually do. You can find the current news by going to any newspaper of your choice, and read them there: you don't need to search at all (archives are another matter, but then I suspect that that is a very small amount of their traffic).

I actually think Facebook is a harsher competitor: people will share interesting articles (or those that make their side look good) there, and that traffic is harder to replace.
A "miniroot" is stored in the kernel, indeed the entire OS is loaded into memory. Other BSDs and Linux have used, and may still use, similar approaches in some cases. (For example, BSD install media.) This is old hat but reliable. What is amazing is that you still see people in 2021, when most computers have ample amounts of memory, complaning about "disk" issues, e.g., people try to use SD cards as a "hard drive" for RPis.
Tim Cook, in a creepy speech[1], had the audacity to cite the following as his moral dictum for us all, and the reason why he must censor you and me: "Do not be indifferent to the bloodshed of your fellow man."

He says this while frequently hobnobbing with the likes of MBS at his HQ and overseas.[2]

I guess that whole "being indifferent to bloodshed" rule doesn't apply to censorious industrialist oligarchs like himself and his friends. Sure seems quite indifferent to bloodshed to me. As expected.

The public couldn't ever cancel Tim Cook, though; that would be blasphemy! Ask MBS what he thinks should happen to blasphemers.
