Do you actually have an argument about nuclear proliferation or are you simply taking a jab at the Americans? I'm not an American the Embassy issue isn't relevant to this topic at all nor does it invalidates the stance that we should prevent further nuclear proliferation.

Claiming that this is some dick waving contest between the US and NK is ridiculous, and comparing Trump to Kim is simply vile.
N. Korea is objectively about as evil as a regime can get it killed millions of it's own people and will continue to do so for no benefit other than the perpetuation of a single family line.

> it seems to me giving away your code for no return indicates you don't really value it that much

Well of course it seems that way to you, because you have defined it circularly. Open sourcing code is in no way "giving it away for no return". There is massive return on open sourcing code, from money to improvements in the code and all other manner of things.

I have the opposite perspective from you. I think that closed source code indicates you don't value you it very much. But I understand that perspectives are different and that's okay. But you have made your own leap to not valuing code very much but you should know that the truth for a lot of people is the exact opposite of what you wrote.

Governments use GASB accounting standards, and non-government entities have to use IFRS accounting standards. There are completely different and far more stringent requirements for non-government defined benefit pensions (PPA 2006), and far more lenient standards, if you can even call them that, for taxpayer funded pensions.

If that doesn't scream corruption, I don't know what does.

I'm going to hijack this thread to mention that I'm thinking of open sourcing a SLAM system I've been working on under BSD or MIT.

Ive been working on this because I'm interested in underwater drones (uuvs), and hope to commercialise this in the form of services.

My current understanding is as follows:

- most open source systems come from universities and are GPL, with the option for licensing. (PTAM, ORB SLAM, DSO, SVO, LSD)

- Optimistically, it would require $1-3 million to build a compedative system privately. The sky is the limit here.

- No one, neither the universities nor private entities, is making serious money by licensing just a SLAM system. The well performing startups are somehow coupled to a product or a service.

- All systems basically solve the same problems, but mix and match different solutions. For example for initial motion estimation, you could rely on constant motion (DSO, ORB SLAM), image alignment (SVO), or solving directly for rotation between cameras (GSLAM).

- As a researcher, to implement a new idea, you either need to implement an entire system from scratch, or modify a GPL'd system. This is great in theory, but since everyone is playing the GPL or pay game they are reluctant to accept contributions.

I'm imagining something like opencv, with implementations of common algorithms accompanied by wiki pages describing high level details. Components could be mixed and matched into different reference SLAM systems targeting different use cases, do you want something that will run on a MAV or a self driving car?

From a commercial point of view, companies could worry more about tweaking things to work for a particular use case without needing to start from scratch. I believe that universities, with their many departments, have more opportunity than anyone else.

My belief is that it's time for a liberally licensed SLAM system. Has anyone come to a similar conclusion or care to comment to the contrary?

Thanks HN
An article with some more (past and present) "state of the art":

https://www.theb1m.com/video/a-short-history-of-bricklaying-...

using adhesive (for thermal blocks) removes a lot of the variables, to have thermal efficient structure the smallest (thinner) the junction layer is, the better, and as a matter of fact various kind of adhesives are already replacing mortar in construction sites, with precision ultimately depending only on dimensions of the bricks used.
What is missing in the announcement is a link to a quality / bitrate comparison with perceptual quality. Netflix seems to have a good automated perceptual metric. PSNR is still a popular metric because it's "objective", but codecs optimized for PSNR produce ugly, blurry results, like all the VPx codecs. That said, a codec with great PSNR can probably be tuned for great perceptual results.

The Vorbis people, who were involved in AV1, have produced some impressive perceptual improvements even with inferior technology (Ogg Theora, based on VP3.2), so they know what to do and how: https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/theora/demo9.html

>, all the projections when they created the pension benefits assumed unrealistic rates of return.

It would be interesting if ComputerGuru's post was "politicians promised mathematically impossible pensions" instead of "undeserved pensions".

Maybe the replies would have focused on that aspect. The issue is that the unrealistic pensions were promised by politicians instead of competent actuaries. With promises like automatic 3% annual pension increases, they've created an exploding liability that even Norway and Sweden couldn't fulfill. Illinois created promises that exceeded the productive capacity of its citizens' tax base.

Very well written. It has to be tough to walk away from something with as much trajectory. It also takes someone very self-aware to know when they are helping and where their talents can be better utilized.
Google also has a lot of category 4 data; although I don't have any Google accounts I am well aware that they track everything coming from my IP addresses, and from any of their cookies that I inadvertently allow through.

All Google's posturing about 'review and manage your data' is meaningless to me in that regard. Why can't I ask them to delete everything associated with my IPv6 block, for example?

Hi anc84, I made http://www.muusical.com and was imagining it being something like musicbrainz but with actual, playable music that is streamed in from youtube or soundcloud. I haven't been actively working on it in a little while but would love to find other kindred spirits who share the vision. After taking a step back, possibly the best approach is to just use the data from music brainz and use my site to attach the playable music. My meta data editing interface is very rudimentary compared with musicbrainz.

Let me know if you're interested or know anyone who is. You can get me on twitter @patrickjbradley. Thanks.
It is a new tool, not any sort of replacement. There is much more to brickwork than laying bricks. Show me a robot that can crawl under a house to fix a cracked brick, or one than can shovel a trench without breaking something.
Title should change. Sounds like Docker is shutting down permanently since the site doesn't load and the title is French for Good Bye.
> I've never been worried about my employer seeing my social media profiles. If I wouldn't do something in public, I wouldn't post it to social media.

Employers (and potential employers, for job applicants) don't use access to social media only to see what you post to social media and judge you by that, they can (and do) use it to see who you are connected to on social media, what they post about you, and what they post about other things, and judge you by that. They can also use it as a pretext to discern things that are protected by anti-discrimination law and which they would not ask you about directly for fear of lawsuits, as a means of difficult-to-detect unlawful discrimination, using, again, not only what you post, but information from others that is connected to your profile.

Now, you can limit your interaction in one of the prime mechanisms of social communication in modern society to mitigate the risks that poses (which itself undermines the point of legal protections, especially for things like religion and, in California, political affiliation), or you can, as many people do, create what essentially amounts to a bogus profile that simulates doing that which is shared with prospective employers, but neither of those are ideal.

I'm not a production user, but I've had a look at both. From what I've seen OpenShift provides a more polished and complete package than base Kubernetes, so if you're looking to get productive quick, it's probably a good option.

Kubernetes base is more flexible of course, but with that flexibility comes more stuff you have to do yourself...

Either way they're both based on the same tech., so experience with one largely translates across to the other
The Uber-Arizona story is the American economic-political dystopia in microcosm.

For-profit corporation helps elected politician maintain power.

Elected politician uses the power of the state to promote the corporation and eliminate oversight that would have been in the public interest.

All of this is done in secret, of course. The rubes who elected you don't need to know what their "representatives" are doing in their names.

The politician wins, the corporation wins, and the public is the big loser.

Back when I was a kid, public sector jobs were known to pay less than private sector jobs, but offer stability and a pension.

They're also one of the few sectors of our working economy readily represented by unions.

My take on this is not that the public sector somehow struck it rich, but that the rest of us--those of us in the private sector--have had the screws put to us for a long long time, and that's why the public sector now looks fat and happy.

They didn't strike it rich, we struck it poor.

Implement a Dynamic Relational database: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66385/dynamic-database-s...
We have plenty of dynamic languages, but no viable dynamic relational databases. There are dynamic databases, but they are either not relational, or use a query language nobody is familiar with. Dynamic Relational can use SQL with only minor modifications from "static" SQL. It only adjusts RDBMS conventions just enough to get dynamism, but keeps enough the same to reduce the learning curve.

I figured everyone understood this, but you are right, it bears spelling out:

Any modern [video] compression format is extremely flexible and allow great liberty for the compressor (whereas the decompressor is strictly defined). This means that there is ample room for work on improving the quality and efficiency of the compressor for years to come.

In other words, AV1, the spec, isn't some magical unicorn. It's the sandbox in which the 'corns can be raised.
Sure, but it promotes the "Silicon Valley car tech is killing people" narrative. How many times would you ever see the headline, "Old woman crushed by a Buick?" Probably never. But if it were a Tesla -- then the headline would be "Elon Musk kills old woman with a Tesla" -- or something equally ridiculous.

With the Uber self driving car story in Arizona, a human driver wouldn't have been able to avoid hitting that person -- the victim essentially committed suicide by traffic, but the "angle" of the story has continued to be some variation of "self driving cars are killers."

It's the media generating click-bait by playing to ignorance or Luddite fears.

For many years, you'd see headlines like "SUV crashes into a house and kills a small child." As if the fact that the vehicle was an SUV was material, when the actual cause was a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. But that sort of title played into the big SUV backlash that happened in the early 2000s. I never saw, "Convertible kills small child," or "Hatchback plows through a wedding, killing the groom." It was always, "SUV this" and now it's "Tesla that" or "Self-driving car this.."

Now, we see the same thing: anything "self driving," anything "Tesla" or "Uber" or anything related to those "evil" Silicon Valley people gets top billing and clicked. A local taxi driver assaulting a drunk girl wouldn't make the local news. An Uber driver being slightly rude to a pet cat would make international headlines.

"Man dies in auto accident doesn't get the emotions working like "Man murdered by an Uber driven by killer robot."

Is it just a conscious joke at this point to put "incredible journey" in any of these types of announcements?
I get what you are trying to say, although I think you hit on what the actual problem is. I don't think the issue is that there is unauthorized propaganda vs. authorized propaganda. I think the issue is just that there is more propaganda out there. Yes, it's "all just additional information", but it's too much information.

I think people in general struggle to objectively weigh the information they are presented with, but they struggle so much worse when they don't have the time or ability to sift through the amount of propaganda being thrown at them.

When social media was first finding its roots, many people, myself included, were excited for the prospect of the empowerment and new voice being given to the masses. But not all voices are created equal. Its the equivalent of going from an auditorium of people watching a panel debate a topic to literally everyone in the auditorium trying to debate by shouting over each other. No one has time to consider, let alone fact check, all of the information being presented to them. Its practically gotten to the point where people pick their own reality, with different sets of "alternative facts". Don't like what someone is saying? No problem, there is a never-ending supply of voices out there backing up whatever opinion you want to believe.

Additionally, perhaps the entities most empowered to push their agenda have been the already empowered. 99% of the public does not have the resources or the expertise to collect and analyse data being generated by social media. The people who do are government agencies, political campaigns, and corporations. They have more information on you, how you live, and how you think than at any other time in history. And they can influence public opinion with that information, along with new vehicles of propaganda like botnets, in a way that no regular person can.

So even if social media was originally supposed to bring people together and give a voice to the masses, the reality is that it has resulted in a more divided, disenfranchised populace than before, in my opinion.

Show HN: A poor-man's paywall destroyer
That looks fantastic, thanks for pointing it out. I had been entertaining the idea of running my own STT server alongside mycroft to keep everything local ... snips.ai could be a much more simple solution.
The thing about the VIC II and SID is that they have just enough flexibility by exploiting the HW to pull off an astonishing number of effects, like stretching sprites/screen/characters by tricking the VIC to redisplay lines, this allows cool HW scaling effects. Or getting the VIC to delay displaying lines, which allows shifting the screen by more than 8 pixels in vertical and horizontal directions (the scroll registers normally only allow 8 different pixel positions)

People have exploited interlacing/sub pixel/NTSC/PAL effects to generate new colors, or simulate hi-res. They've combined changing color palettes per-line with sprite overlays to breach the barrier of 4 unique colors per 4x8 pixel block.

The list of surprising effects I've seen on the C64 never seems to end. Some crazy people have also managed to get the C128's VDC to do demo-scene effects as well.

One trick I was working on in the 80s before I quit the C64/C128 to go to the Amiga was to try and use the C128's MMU chip to run high speed 8502 code. The C128 MMU could remap the 0 page addresses ($00-$FF) into other memory regions. Because 0-page instructions run faster (e.g. STA $C000 vs STA $C0), if you could remap zero page, you could write code in a style that is significantly faster.

I wanted to use this to write a fast line drawing/poly-filing routine. Since the VIC could also be remapped by the MMU, in theory (I never go to to test it), you could map the zero page to a VIC mapped address, and do pixel block operations at 2-3 cycles per write.
