im not "clinging to single universe world view" but
i got 2 questions:
1. has this alghoritm actually been executed somewhere?
2. does this mean there is infinite storage posibillity to store any data you want or it must be "special" data. and how much time does it take to access any segment of this data.

if the answer is no to both question then my answer is: "it doesn't work."
I guess you haven't seen ARKit yet?
Super interested to hear more details on the display tech. Although they specifically state 'not lenticular', providing a '4 way view' still seems to indicate some form of lens setup. There's a few microlens array based displays which, while definitely much better that an old school lenticular strips, are not great for detail.
Rotating something that size in Mars' gravity is far more difficult that rotating something in space. Clearly, you're far less competent than you think you are.
Yeah, perhaps namespaces will satisfy them, but from what I've seen network namespaces leave something to be desired. I found that it wasn't too hard to roll my own container implementation and hook it up to a tool that was already providing software environments to unprivileged users, so I think there's plenty of room for other people to take the primitives that Linux provides and run with them.
This isn't very uber-like, since it's only for businesses. I'd love to be able to easily get someone to pick up cardboard and other trash at my house. We're big users of Amazon Prime and also starting a business that involves a lot of large deliveries, so we're completely buried in cardboard and the expensive local garbage/recycling service cannot support us. We're ordering our second dumpster in less than a year to try to clear out.
> extra failure modes

Well, different failure modes, maybe. If an external process crashes, then you just have your editor restart it. But if you've linked a library into your editor, and it crashes, then your editor crashes.

I much prefer either keeping that code in a separate process, or having that code written in a memory safe language, where it won't take down your editor when something goes wrong.
There was an app called Minecraft Reality back in 2012 that would seem to prove otherwise: https://mojang.com/2012/11/announcing-minecraft-reality-for-...

It placed a Minecraft creation into your environment in realtime. Though it seemed mostly like a tech demo without much of a point, it was pretty impressive when I played with it.

SunOS definitely had shared libraries -- I think those go back at least to 4.3BSD.

Anyway, how much I/O do you need to support people running terminal apps over Ethernet?
Yeah that bit doesn't make any sense. If anything the pi would support more users with similar workloads to those being run on the sparcstation in the same fashion (without containers).
Let's Encrypt is just about the best thing to happen to the web this decade. It really is huge to have encryption be something that can Just Work. It is, by far, the most popular feature we've added to Virtualmin in many years (and we had support from very early on due to the high demand for it).

Wildcard certs have been a common request, but you can already specify multiple domains using SAN. And, since you can issue a new LE cert on-demand, it's actually not necessary for a lot of use cases that would have required a wildcard in the past. In the bad old days, getting a new certificate (even just to change details like adding a name to it) was time-consuming and often cost money. Most of the time when our users have needed a wildcard, it was just because they wanted to save a little money by having all of their subdomains on one cert; and not so much that they really needed to be able to spring up dozens/hundreds/thousands of new subdomains that could just automatically be secured. If you have a fixed number of names that need SSL with the same cert, you can already do that today with Let's Encrypt.

Nonetheless, this is great. I'm just super impressed by how effective the LE folks have been at improving the state of security on the web, and for free! They really deserve every kind word and every donation dollar that comes their way.

It's interesting that almost all of the comments here assume that the 'AR' in Pokemon Go was showing the Pokemon character in the camera viewfinder during the catching sequence.

Is it not also AR to have many invisible creatures, gyms, and resources placed in the real world? I don't think there needs to be a visual component at all for it to be AR. When I used to play the game my reality was augmented because everywhere I went I thought "I wonder what Pokemon are around" and would check the app.

A seamless visual integration would be nice (I want to see some Pokemon battle in my living room) but even just the Ingress-style map integration is AR in my opinion.
Very interesting article. Can anyone comment on how this differs from clipboard access in *nix land? One of the things I miss about Windows is that copy+paste between applications is a lot more seamless.
My grandfather taught me well: one should never, ever talk about their health unless it's good.
Granted, sometimes gimmicks can be enjoyable. But in the case of AR in Pokemon Go (and IMO most 3D movies) they just distract from the actual content.

We handed new devs the ELF spec, the PE spec, and the MachO spec. But we were doing low level work that integrated our SDK into already built binaries.

I've run into problems in the past with namespaced classes not raising link errors for duplicate destructor definitions. That took us 2 weeks to track down.

In any case, at the moment it's mostly just causing confusion. It's a one-man project in FB Research, and he hasn't done any namespacing.
Fire hot. Fire scary. Fire magic too much me learn.
Not only that, but it means if the library crashes, your editor process dies. That hardly seems better than sending some text over a socket. At least if the external process crashes, your editor can just restart it.
This has more to do with the regime change in the US than you might think. Democrats/liberal values are spread over the most part of cultural and news business in the US, and when they are in power, talks about a brighter future is always in vogue. If you look at the tech hype cycle, the first bubble happened on the end of Bill Clinton's government. Now the same thing happened at the end of Obama's, although it didn't come as a stock crash.

The most amusing part of this was in NT 3.x they made a big deal about everything not being in the kernel in all their marketing vs Netware where a bad NLM could crash a Netware server.
Heck, it's just like the 3DS AR functionality, which ended up being a fairly big part of the console's promotional material/hype but got thrown to the wayside about a year or so in. I mean, when was the last AR game you played on the 3DS after the built in stuff and maybe Spirit Camera?

Just like with AR functionality on phones, the functionality on the 3DS just didn't turn out to be that useful or interesting for video games.

Just the math is not enough, you need some connection to reality. For instance, your formula does not describe reality for large v. This can be tested.
> It seems your variant does not support the common convention to use lone two dashes ('--') to separate options from non-options that for some reason start with dashes too (e.g. strangely named files).

It does, actually. See http://repo.or.cz/OptFetch.git/blob/HEAD:/optfetch.c#l172
From personal experience, it does not.
It's strange to have that allowance laid out as a fixed number up front.

Most of my jobs in my career have offered 25-30 days paid holiday, plus the 8 or so days of public holidays, and paid sick leave.

That way you don't fall into a trap of debating whether you should use your last allotted "personal day" on something you might thing isn't worth taking it for as you might need it later.
Or make it as difficult as possible so it will eat up the attacker's time.

I think the worst part about MongoDB in that timeframe was the poor CPU utilization since it was single threaded.

In order to leverage the multiple CPUs in a box you'd need to run multiple instances of mongo on the same machine and we designed a whole system around sandboxing instances.

But then you'd run into memory allocation issues and how badly it would handle indexing and handle running out of memory, which mostly involved crashing.

We ended up having to run about 100 bare-metal servers to support what would probably have been a level of queries about 10 PostgreSQL boxes could handle easily.

Truly a terrible DB.
That doesn't solve the problem of a segfault in the C library crashing the entire JVM.

It's exactly what my previous article "Image resize in browsers is broken" is about )

https://blog.uploadcare.com/image-resize-in-browsers-is-brok...

It originally was written two years ago, so some things have changed. But in general, it is still correct: for most browsers, you need to combine several ugly technics to get suitable results. Though, the quality will have nothing common with quality when you have direct access to hardware.
>scanning a c project for buffer overflows is relatively trivial compared to scanning tons of libraries for flaws so obfuscated they made it through review

You would have to scan the C project for buffer overflows and memory leaks in addition to scanning the tons of C libraries that it uses[0] for buffer overflows and memory leaks (note that openssl is in that list, among other massive libs). This is not even taking logic errors into account. There is simply too much to consider all at once, and being in C just makes it that much harder have a reasonable sense of security.

You're also implying that it's easier to spot intentionally backdoored C than intentionally backdoored Python, Go, Java, etc, but I have no reason to believe that that's true. Furthermore, the number of eyes that have been on those projects is far higher than the number of eyes that will ever grace Magma.

I wonder who they think will buy this initial batch? Its obvious they don't have the ability to produce these things in any sort of high capacity. Are they only expecting existing RED owners to buy them as some sort of companion or accessory? It seems to have the POGO pins on the back like the EPIC has for mounted accessories. Other than that theres so little info to go off of that I don't see anyone else buying them, especially at that price.
Interesting point. I'm not sure what the actual definition of AR is, but the article seems to assume the same definition that several others did, including myself:

Let me insert my personal pet-peeve: have you thought of making it colour-space-aware? Most (all?) images you'll encounter are stored in sRGB colourspace, which isn't linear, so you can't do the convolution by just multiplying and adding (the result will be slightly off). The easiest way would be to convert it to 16-bit-per-channel linear colour space using a lookup table, do the convolution in linear 16-bit space, then convert back to 8-bit sRGB.

> No, you can't. Because reasonable is a subjective moving target.

I don't think that matters.

> "Unlimited" is a scam

Baloney, everyone knows you can't actually get a million dollars of storage for $5/month just like the people at buffets know you can't just scrape $1K of food into the trash without the buffet getting shut down. There's always reasonable use limits on "unlimited" that any customer is aware of. I have unlimited checking and it's not a scam but there are obvious limits, if I wrote a million checks for 1 cent they would either close my account or change the terms. Writing a million checks is not a reasonable use case though, that would be me shitting in the pool.
heh, no kidding :) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ARKit&page=&utm...

Even though, to his point, he's technically correct, it was just a "dumb" overlay. However, part of the excitement of the game was that you could see it in the world (both physically by having to walk around to catch it, and visually via the AR). I'm surprised you didn't see people posting pictures of pokemon in funny locations/situations back when it was really popular
New York City fines people $100 to $400 for using improper receptacles, leaving receptacles uncovered, putting trash in front of others' buildings and/or leaving loose rubbish lying about [1]. Note that these can accumulate, e.g. if you put loose trash in front of someone else's building in an improper receptacle, that could be $300 to $1,000 of fines.

Those fines pay for enforcement. They also pay for picking up garbage dumped by unknown persons. This model shifts the burden from everyone to just the offenders. I find it preferable to small households subsidising big ones.

I think you're the one who's demonstrating an atypical case here; most lectures aren't presenting on some rapidly changing topic, and even if they are, there is some Wikipedia text that is kept up to date.

>The main issue is that none of this is equivalent to the transcript. Nothing of what you propose would make the video accessible to a deaf person. A textbook chapter or the lecture materials are alternatives to the video, it helps making do without the video, but doesn't make accessible the part of video where the lecturer is writing something interesting on the blackboard and explaining something that you can't hear.

That's overstating it. The relevant metric is, if some deaf (or video-hating like me) person wants to learn the material, do they have a useful option? The fact that you can't make that specific video useful isn't relevant. Even pointing to some text that hits the same key points is major step up, and is trivial to do, and yet most refuse to do, just like most refuse to provide the one insight that they're making me watch a three minute video to hear.

> to say they are pushing hard on VR is an understatement.

Well they do own Oculus, so they have a vested interest in making sure VR succeeds, whether it is a demand or not.
From the link:

> Cuck began its life as cuckold, and when exactly its shortening became de rigeur will likely remain a mystery unless any intrepid data adventurer can scrape the entire log of 4chan from 2013/14 without losing the will to live. Looking at the normalised graph above, you can see that the misogynists of TheRedPill have been using "cuckold" since their subreddit began, and that it appears to have been shortened to "cuck" in 4chan at some point in 2014. The term emerged in the manosphere, and its misogynistic connotations have stuck with it ever since.
That makes it sound a lot less stupid. The Uber comparison strongly implies that it is consumer focused, and intended to privatize an existing public service (mass transit in that case).

It does. Because there’s also libraries to automatically spawn a separate JVM and communicate with that via an IPC system. Or even spawn other things.

But if you want a system where I have to transfer gigabytes via a JSON IPC bus every minute, sure. That’s totally not going to destroy performance in projects that are several millions of code long with major auto-generated assets.

The language server protocol is useless for larger interwoven projects. The same issue appears already with JetBrains Rider (a C# IDE where the C# parser is implemented in a separate process)
> With optimizations, Uploadcare now needs six times fewer servers to handle its load than before.

This is devil's advocate, but did you guys have concrete need for this optimization? You now need six times fewer servers, but was that a crippling problem, or is it a cool statistic for the future when you get more users?
Your points are understandable. But what would your plan be to keep the doors open? They need to make money somehow. Not being sarcastic, am genuinely interested.
Governments are a default state produced by groups of humans. They are inevitable. Making them better is incredibly hard work, but that is the only option.

Often times, they are improved by working outside the system itself, it seems. So there are some interesting options for tackling this hard problem. The company mentioned in the article may turn out to be a great example of this.

Governments do come in many forms, with varying size, composition, and effectiveness. However, the ancap vision of no government and everything done by "voluntary" contract has no meaningful basis in reality at this point, as far as I can tell.
Just in case folks are unaware, this is the parapsychology guy that believes the following:

> Sheldrake's morphic resonance hypothesis posits that "memory is inherent in nature" and that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind" ... Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms". His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, telepathy and the psychic staring effect as well as unconventional explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.

The reason his TED talk was pulled is because he's a crank, and the entire talk is a confused defense of pure BS.
I swear business materialize out of thin air, when someone literally just thinks of them. How else can you explain that it seems like EVERY idea already has an app + business!
Don't worry, he's willing to pay a few bucks for it.
I'm really happy to see this. The one time I tried looking at the PIL sources for resizing, I was appalled at what I saw. Simply seeing that you're expanding the filter size as the input to output ratio shrinks is a huge deal.

When I wrote my own resizing code, I found it helpful to debug using a nearest-neighbor kernel: 1 from -0.5 to 0.5 and 0 everywhere else. It shook out some off-by-one errors.
Was this the main issue stopping you? Wildcard certs are only 45 USD per year.
This is one of those statements that is "not even wrong." Bundling it with insults and arrogance does not improve the statement at all.

Climate is not weather, climate is the patterns of weather that are seen. You can ask, "is this year a drought or a rain bonanza" and have it make sense, but it doesn't make sense to say that of the climate; both are possible at different times.
For that matter, the conversion should be to CIELAB, which is perceptually uniform.
