Actually I‘d probably buy this new VW Minibus, while I could care less about a beetle. The Minibus is always as history laden as the beetle, and it’s so much more versatile. In a world of autonomous cars, small cars will become ubiquitous and interchangeable since we don’t need to own them anymore to get to work, while big vehicles like the Minibus are more likely to be owned since they are needed for vacations, band tours, camping, IKEA shopping,...

EDIT: Changed Mini to Minibus.

This is partly about the Mandella Effect -- many people claimed to have seen the episode, but supposedly it never aired.

It's named after Nelson Mandela due to the widespread false belief he died in the 1980's.

I am a little bit bored with these GAN style attacks.
They show that the networks haven't yet generalized well enough. They don't show that the technology, or even the approach, is broken.

Personally, I think the main problem is some combination of a little bit of over claiming in research, and a metric ton of over hyping and generalizing in both media and business circles.

Robust multi model ensembles with strong generalization ability will show up within the foreseeable future, and will be no more susceptible to optical illusions than human beings.
I'm not trying to evoke the 'whataboutism' general response, but don't you think that automatically generated command decision systems might exist inside the US defence model at this time? Am I alone in wondering if the western threat analysis method was necessarily any better throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties. Demonstratably neither side launched, so at some level of MAD the system 'worked' but I'm less confident the risk exposed here could innately not have existed inside NATO.

For instance.. the process which led to CBW risks being inflated in the decision logic to invade Iraq. Was that not machine assisted?

Thanks. I've tried that in the past. The problem is still that it doesn't give any feedback on progress.

I still struggle to see how people actually use this with devops on a day to day basis.

I think that some type of integration with tmux would work well - have a running tmux session, and then just queue commands from emacs to that session, instead of running directly through emacs.

JHijack – JAVA Fuzzer for numeric session hijacking and parameter enumeration
Redis is an impressive piece of engineering, but it performs best as an in-memory kv-store on a single core. Its distributed capabilities target a different problem than other distributed kv-stores attempt to solve. Redis Cluster focuses on reasonable functionality for an in-memory store. However, Redis Cluster is neither highly available, nor consistent. There are multiple modes that can cause catastrophic data loss, so Redis Cluster works best in situations where losing data isn't a big deal. For it's intended use case, nothing else comes close to offering the same functionality, performance, reliability, and ease of use.
You're talking about a professional software suite meant to work on workstations often solely meant to run that suite.

Chrome has to cooperatively share resources with other applications and with aggressive caching at application level, the only strategy at hands of the OS is to start swapping.
They're so amazing that someone felt the need to poison them with more nodejs garbage. Yay!
And what functionality does it provide for that tons of javascript? I am asking honestly because most of the magic of gmail (which I love) is on the server side. The functionality that it has on the client side is trivial and in some cases atrocious. In these days it cannot even resize the compose box. The power of it's search bar should require trivial amount of client side code, so should the auto save. The only thing that should take up memory is client side caching of inbox which is primarily text.

What I'm missing here I'm honestly totally confused.
You have survival and creative mode. In creative mode you have all the blocks you want to make great buildings, dont need to mine them and you can even fly around.

Start with your son in creative mode and practice building basic stuff. Then learn how to go survival mode watching some youtube tutorials.
Small kids really enjoy creating their own houses, towns and megacaves in creative, when they feel comfortable they ask to go to survival on their own.
Then they discover roblox (that has hundreds of mods) and there is no back!

Cofounders/collaborators to build together the next-gen of prototyping hardware
Hi folks,

I'm working on an exciting new hardware platform https://www.hexabitz.com/

I just started sharing with the world. Still a very work in progress.

Looking for brave US-based (preferably in Seattle) cofounders/collaborators to join me on this awesome journey to reinvent hardware prototyping! It's lots of fun but lots of work as well.

If you're interested in a chat or have questions feel free to comment here or email me at asaad@hexabitz.com for more details

Cheers

Most amazon employees now use ec2 instances as their development environment so using a x1e.32xlarge with 128 vCPU's (64 cores over 4 sockets), 3,904 GiB of memory, 2 x 1,920 NVMe GB drives, and 14,000 Mbps of EBS bandwidth is possible.

Granted, I don't know anyone that uses that much and you would probably get asked by management for using a dev desktop that big but you can if you need to. I myself use just a i3.xlarge with 4 vCPU's, 30.5 or memory, Up to 10 Gigabit of EBS storage and 1 x 0.95 NVMe SSD.
Chrome devs are given both a laptop (most choose a MacBook Pro) and a fairly beefy desktop. My one had 64G of RAM, and that was given to me six years ago.

Dunno, pretty commonly I see reviews where cheap baofeng's reach repeaters better than more expensive Yaesu radios. Personally my ft-70dr doesn't hit distant repeaters as well as my baofeng. Is it a nicer radio in many ways, but not particularly good for distant repeaters. The yaesu does seem better in noisy environments though.

The menu system is MUCH harder to use and MUCH more inconsistent. Drives me nuts that when you find a menu, spin the selector to make a selection, to select you hit the PTT, sometimes you hit f, sometimes you hit V/M. Worse is often the manual doesn't even mention that part.

No, workstations and\or graphical stations are powerfull. Gaming rigs can be powerfull, but most of the time they are average or just above average.

Also - steam statistic will show you a great number of PCs that are being used only to play some indie games and\or Dota. 8gb is more than enough for that.
I'd like to understand your comment better but I really have a hard time understanding what happened in the USA in the 1860s. Just like TangoTrotFox was kind enough to assume that not everybody here knows Bavarian history by heart, can you not assume everybody here is American?

I googled for "USA 1860s" and followed some links but I can't get further than stuff like the "Dakota War of 1862" which I doubt is what you're referring to.

If the square was cut any smaller you wouldn't be able to fit the coaster through no matter how you try to fold the paper. The square and its size is a constant in this problem, using a scissor to make the square bigger after its given to you would be considered destructive. In the postcard problem there is no such constraint as you are allowed to cut in whichever form/size you want.

Ask HN: Bioinformatics blogs, portals and news outlets?
I am looking for new news outlets for bioinformatics. I am especially interested in the intersection between biomarkers (e.g. from blood/saliva) combined with digital biomarkers (e.g. self-reported patient data) and longitudinal tracking.

What are you guys reading? I have found Genomeweb be the best source, but they are expensive - and there must be others?
I'm confused; you seem to be saying that inflicting horrible pain and suffering on any person or creature should not give anyone pause. Really?
I think so, and iirc there are s lot of studies that have actually shown a negative relationship with conscientiousness.
Great start! Would need something to easily mass edit ID3 tags and also rename files based on tags - any good solutions? Surprisingly, I couldn't find a suitable CLI tool so far either.

For bioinformatics I read Genomeweb, but I am interested in other good outlets under the same theme
Depends.

For apps that I distribute generically for use with Django, I usually stick only to ORM features that are supported across all backends. And then I just have tox set up to run the tests with an in-memory SQLite database, since that's fast (and Django's test suite already exercises its ORM on all the backends, so I can trust the ORM will work on other DBs).

My personal blog, though? I run Postgres locally on my laptop (via Postgres.app) to make the dev/testing environment as similar as possible. Most places I've worked have done similarly, running either Postgres or MySQL locally, and I have run into bugs that only manifested on MySQL (not because of bugs in Django, but because of MySQL acting in the way MySQL acts).
Ask HN: Which VPN are you using and why?
Trust me, if Mozilla actually had a choice in the matter, they would opt for just having it all in Rust, too.

But there is no choice. Rewriting Firefox from scratch is going to take decades. Firefox has to continue to function in the meantime. They do occasionally replace components with equivalent Rust components from Servo, and that's so far been a great success, but it's still scary as all heck to take a software that millions of people depend on in their daily life and wholesale replacing the CSS engine, URL parser or media decoder in it.

Besides that, it's not like Chrome/Opera, IE/Edge or Safari are bastions of security. Users can't go anywhere that's decisively safer.
I’ve been a nomorobo customer for a long time, and I’ve had my full phone number entered in the system from day one. And you’ve had access to my contacts, too.

However, I still get the neighbor scam calls, and it’s one of the most annoying things I deal with on a daily basis.

I’ve been thinking that I should write my own whitelist-only call screening app on top of twilight, and maybe becoming one of your biggest competitors.

That is, unless you want to take this idea and implement it yourselves, and saving me the trouble. ;)

I read this a couple days ago, and found it clearly written.
The matrix exponentiation algorithm in the link you sent is O(log(n)). Yes, this might seem strange because the output (F_n) itself has n bits. But in practice most of the implementations would use long integers for output, so log(F_n) < 64 for these implementations.
> waking up early (at dawn in the summer at 4 am would be perfect), but naturally, without an alarm clock

There are alarm clocks that simulate a sun rise (over half an hour or so), which works well for me in winter. It allows to wake up slowly without the stress of a noise in the middle of the dark night.
It's a metaphysical question. How long did it take you to consciously feel pain the last time you accidentally touched a burning stove?
It absolutely does mean something. Just probably not what you had in mind. :)

In English toponymy "bury" refers to a fortified settlement, and "ness" is a promontory or headland.

Sure enough, Shoeburyness is a town on raised ground by the mouth of the Thames estuary, and has had some sort of fortification or another on that site since Roman times.
I wonder if slightly overshooting on purpose, then running the motor in reverse for a moment would actually be faster.
If we take the post at face value, it's strong overkill. Face value means that "46 characters from the full set" is even vaguely descriptive of the password.

(Key point: Gmail uses over 100MB where FastMail uses 10MB. Careful engineering helps a lot.)

Gmail provides a lot more functionality with that JavaScript than you may think. There’s a fair bit of magic that goes into making an email client work as you want it to.

That being said: most web apps are surprisingly inefficient in their memory usage (I find it surprising, anyway), and Gmail is no exception. I last used Gmail a bit over a year ago on Firefox, and it tended to start at about 60MB of explicit allocations, and work its way up to about 110MB. (Chrome being generally less memory-efficient than Firefox at present, I understand that figure to generally be two or three times as much.)

But a good email client doesn’t need to be like that; compare FastMail (which company I work for, but this aspect of the design and awareness of memory consumption happened long before I joined): the current explicit allocations on my two FastMail sessions are: 10MB for my work account (mail, open for several days and used plenty), and 27MB for my personal account (mail has been open for a few days and used plenty, and then I just opened calendar, contacts, notes, files and settings, so that all the code for all of them is loaded and all their views initialised, and let it settle down from 53MB to 27MB).

A lot of these things come down to having people care about performance (time, memory or whatever axis you like). Having a large team often makes it harder to get right too.

Almost all news sites, even many blogs and should-be-very-bland web pages use more memory than FastMail.
I find that a long-running Chrome instance will often start using huge amount of CPU time for no good reason (the Chrome task manager currently reports the "Browser" task is using 110% CPU and has used over 18hrs CPU time for my current instance). I've observed this on three different machines, one of which isn't used by me so there shouldn't be too much overlap in terms of sites used etc.

No problem. I really brought up calories, etc due to the other posters mentioning limited weight loss (or sometimes gain) as well as increased cholesterol even though they were reducing the frequency of meals (I was guessing at a reduction in calories because of that, though it’s fair to say that I don’t really have that insight in this case)

The info I’m conveying is part coaching, part experience/anecdotal, and part reading aggregate from health studies, running and sports health magazines, as well as general health magazines.

My parents were national-level athletes (70’s/80’s) and, later on, coaches. My mother was certified to coach in the Olympics (though she did not and continued her work locally). I was an athlete when I was younger and learned most of it then, but have in recent years taken a return to focusing more on my health. Also much of my reading stemmed from trying to lose weight after quitting smoking (also went from a physical job to a physically-idle one around the same time. Gained nearly 50 pounds. I was on antidepressants and anxiolytics at the same time. It was messy)

My girlfriend’s step mother is competing at the world championship Iron Man race this fall in Kona, and her advice was much the same (we plug everyone we can for coaching. Her stepmom even has her on a custom workout).

I don’t have much hard reading I can provide off hand, but a few searches surrounding the points I put out there should yield quite a bit of information. Primarily links between excercise and how it helps with depression and anxiety, and metabolic studies including starvation responses.

If you want to continue the discussion further I’d be happy to, and happy to help find further info that might resound more than some hexadecimal-aliased rambler on a message board. ;)
Playing games would have made it impossible to imagine Qualitative Easing? I played a lot of SimCity and it taught me that tradeoffs are very real and that mayors have a tough job; but it didn't stop me from independently coming up with the idea of qualitative easing as it happens. Still, I take the point, one can't use QE every time or in just any year to avoid a tradeoff - only when deflation is a real possibility.

I can't be sure about the first quote - 120 could be called the high end of average - but holy crap, the second quote describes me almost perfectly, word for word!

The reason I didn't became a scientist is that it SUCKS being a scientist in Poland. Last time I checked the best Polish university is outside the top 400 universities of the world. It's the last foothold of feudalism in my country. The academic environment is dominated by middle aged and senior men who are only concerned about keeping what they have. In many other ways, Poland has an innovation problem.

That, and childhood traumas I don't want to bother you with. When you get a bachelor's degree in CS, but you only have so-so grades and it took you 5 years instead of 3, it's hard to impress anyone in academia.

So I became a programmer. It was hard getting used to doing stuff initially, but I learned to enjoy it. However, I'm quickly bored by repetitive tasks and programming languages worse than Python. I seem to love learning new programming paradigms, libraries, programming languages even if they're difficult (I wrote a Rust program).

I like programming, but I'm not super excited by it. I wonder if you could suggest me some other career I can pursue if I don't have success as a programmer? I thought about an investigative journalist, but few people value good journalism around here.
Images load in the background, while the page is already usable.

Browsers could still help a lot with better efficient image loading, but the default is not all that bad.
I've heard the term "dithering" used for this, in electronics and a sort of related (reverse?) idea in displaying images on low color depth displays. I think. For example if you have a DAC generated 8-bit data, but you want finer resolution, then you could imagine averaging maybe every pair of samples, which if you add (and divide by two) the samples, you get an extra bit of information.

But that only works if your signal (including the measurement circuit) is not rock steady, which would make both samples identical and so you don't gain any information. Adding noise helps the samples be different which can increase the effective resolution. If you were just on the brink of a discretization bucket, a kick of noise will likely push you into the next bucket
