I'm glad that the transition to GEGL is complete and the benefits that come along with it. High bit depth color (32-bit channels) is a nice improvement too.

I've used GIMP for a long time, and find it more intuitive than either PhotoShop or competitors like Affinity Photo. I'm glad to see it making strides in features and quality.
not quite the assembly, but you may look at small intros at https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php of sizes 32 bytes and so on.

many intros are provided with source codes, and others could easily be viewed in disassemblers.

especially look at intros by such brilliant people like Digimind and Řrřola.

CC fraud is such a big problem, it must be a huge advantage for Amazon. Most of their purchases come from repeat customers that they can be confident exist. Smaller shops have to figure that out nearly every purchase.

I never thought of that before. Maybe there should be a central shared central repository of who are known good customers/address/cc combinations, or maybe that is what stripe etc do already.
The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant by Nick Bostrom
I read the original retracted story linked elsewhere in the comments: https://web.archive.org/web/20180403204501/https://www.npr.o... But has anyone found the site that Jeff Ervine tried so hard to get removed from Google? This whole things sounds pretty interesting and part of me thinks that maybe NPR discovered the lie that was removed was partially true. Many are wondering why they would take down the story rather than publishing a note stating it was retracted. Maybe the same litigious Jeff Ervine is suing NPR to remove this story or preventing a correct version of the story from being written?
My goal was pretty shallow, honestly: I was going to be looking for a job in the new year, and I wanted to be able to fit into my interview clothes again. I also wanted to move my BMI into the average or low-end of the overweight category.

Re: your interest, there's a segment in a movie called 'The Science of Fasting' available with Amazon Prime streaming which follows a woman undergoing chemotherapy whose doctor ok'd her desire to fast during the process based on promising results from an animal trial[1]. During her first round she fasted and only minimally felt negative effects from the chemo. During her second she ate normally and reported feeling substantially worse. The film also goes into how fasting significantly alters short-term gene expression, which might also be of interest.

I agree that the area is exciting. What little work has been done seems to show that the field holds huge promise for a number of therapeutic uses, the least of which is weight loss.

Here's a question:

"If the distribution of wealth is incredibly skewed, how exactly could the distribution of home ownership not be similarly skewed?"

YIMBY seems reasonable as response to homeowners leveraging zoning to distort building priorities and so protect their home values. But if one millionaire will pay (rent or mortage) more for a mansion on a hill than all the potential poor occupants of entire apartment building on that hill could pay, then the developers will build just that mansion, even freed from NIMBY constraints. And that's not even taking into account way that the most developers are going to have an incentive to keep rents overall high and so have an incentive keep the housing markets tight.

State housing projects and zoning that actually incentivizes affordable density indeed could help that. But here, not only have housing project not been build but a lot of these projects have been torn down (leveraged by poor-people horror-stories of course).

Anyway, I would answer my question above as "the way we've have decent housing for working class and poor people has generally involved the rich and powerful being far-thinking and seeing improving everyone's conditions improves their position overall." But a variety of factors have thrown out all the far-thinkingness of the powerful today, as is evident in any number of fronts.

If I was to design a reunification strategy, I'd probably start with limited emigration/immigration into and out of the country. Open up trade as much as possible (except for defense). Start allowing the people of the North to build up capital, and have a reason for staying. When the country is more stable, then I'd open up immigration more widely.

I'd also ensure basic human rights are currently being addressed. I don't have a solution for past violations, that's a tough issue.

Basically, I'd go with the China model.
Yes, and we've repeatedly researched MSG on the basis of experiences like yours. It turns out there is no evidence that people who self-report as sensitive actually are. Yes, even if they're really, really sure.

Maybe you are some sort of undiscovered outlier? That may be compelling to you, but it seems unlikely to me... the research indicates you're far more likely to be among those who have misidentified a cause for their symptoms, one conveniently pointed out to them by urban legend. It's completely unsurprising, and I've done the same many times before.

Would authorities in your jurisdiction do anything? Could they reasonably be able to do something?

In my city a friend of mine had some checks stolen our of his car when he was out of town. The check info was used to pay for some utility bills. Reported to the police and no one gives a shit. The police know where the criminals live. They paid their electricity with it. Nothing done. Compared to online fraud this was a simple bust waiting to happen.
If they had tried to get the other party to comment at the time of writing the original article I think that would be fair enough, but they didn't. Apparently after the story was published they were sent an email from

Bill Gates on Saving Babies, Educating Kids, and Picking a Major
Yeah, essentially no local law enforcement is going to care about some guy successfully scamming you for a $100 chargeback. We were basically told not to bother for anything under $25k from a single actor, and even for amounts over that I think we only managed to get law enforcement action through personal contacts.

I think the one case that law enforcement did act on was a group that was using a newly built neighborhood as a drop point for stolen goods. It was complete enough that there were addresses to ship to, but nobody was living there yet, so it was easy to just pick up packages off the front steps. From what I heard, the police ended up picking up some guy with a truck full of iPods who was just going house to house picking up the deliveries.

A bit disappointing. I was expecting them to elaborate on the nuclear propulsion that might be used to achieve escape velocity for a typical Super-Earth.

Wouldn't such a spaceship still need to have materials that are able to withstand the heat/energy produced by nuclear propulsion?

It's a classic chicken/egg problem and the NIMBY argument is let's just not have the chicken or egg. City politicians can't fight that argument. Something needs to happen above the city level that makes density a given that they can't do anything about. Then the discussion can shift to how to handle the traffic from the density because even the NIMBY will accept they can't do anything to stop the density.

However, all the power is at the city level, so that's why the situation doesn't change. California recently tried to introduce a bill to use state level power to force density, but it was voted down and defeated.

I have mixed feelings about all this. I don't like the idea of a higher power like the state or federal forcing everywhere to be dense. Residents should have some control over how their neighborhoods develop. But the current housing shortage is really bad. Long term, it will destroy the economy because people will move away to other states when they start families, and that's often also when their careers reach their prime (maximum tax revenue).
It is a virtual certainty that Numerai is lying about using homomorphic encryption. The only known algorithms for FHM encryption require specialized algorithms to perform computations on the encrypted data. You can't just run a standard neural net over some homomorphically encrypted data and expect an interpretable result. Yet, Numerai claims that this is exactly what's possible with their data. This is clearly false. They are probably obfuscating their private signals in some extremely trivial way.
Well, an (overly flexible) reading of that policy is that they won't simply delete a story from their website without a trace, but will allow themselves to replace the story with an retraction and explanation if the story is so flawed that it can't be fixed. (You'd have to make the dubious interpretation that "content" refers to the story as a whole unit, rather than the divisible text.) In fact, this is really the only interpretation consistent with the practices of NPR and many other new organization (e.g., NYTimes) of making repeated edits to stories without leaving the old versions online; instead they simply note that edits have been made, and summarize them. It would be weird if they could freely delete wrong statements from an article but not delete the entire text of an article if the entire text is unjustified.

Of course, I agree with most HN readers that the most transparent, ethical, and self-consistent policy is to keep a complete edit history of the story available.

You might just as well raise concerns about adverse effects from dill, or alliums, or fava beans. In fact, all three of those are more likely to be associated with ill effects, because they're more allergenic.

The reason MSG gets such harsh pushback is that the idea of "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" or "MSG sensitivity" has been rebutted pretty comprehensively both from an empirical perspective --- decades of studies have never established a link, which according to the narrative of MSG sensitivity should be very easy to do! --- and from a theoretical perspective. In fact, the theoretical basis for the safety of MSG is pretty plain just from the molecule, which makes you wonder how people could be spinning stories about the dangers of chemical MSG at all.
The overbuilt body is most likely due to two factors: (i) Tesla does not have the design know-how to do better (ii) Tesla's manufacturing capability is below that of other car makers. As I've recently outlined in another comment, the manufacturing process for these is quite involved and finely tuned. People who do (i) also don't grow on trees, because self-supporting car bodies are basically the pinnacle of that particular engineering discipline; essentially no one outside that industry has a need for those requirements in that combination and manifestation.
The problem with criminal records is that when they get expunged, they are only expunged from the government's records. Third-party aggregators and background check agencies can retain them.

I love GIMP as well and have used it for a long time, but it does feel like a stretch to call it "intuitive" :-)

I'm guessing the vast majority of Android development is still using Java as its language, but I would assume with Kotlin being an official language for Android, that will be changing in the next few years.

And of course, you're not really targetting the JVM when you're programming Android, but Dalvik or whatever runtime powers Android these days.

A more paranoid person might conclude humans are easy to be distracted by short-term entertainment/profit and handle long-term threats very poorly. It's not like climate change, mass extinctions, and environmental damage are unheard of - the vast majority of people have heard, but just don't care in ways that would make a significant difference. I'm doubtless among them even as I complain about it.
What's wrong with that? If somebody wants to pay more for electricity, why not let them? And besides, they have significantly different light spectrum.

>The fact that Tesla can simultaneously demonstrate brilliance and incompetence in the same vehicle is not surprising, considering it is a high-tech software company trying to master complex manufacturing processes that took established automakers more than 100 years to perfect.

This is wrong. At the very least it would be since the 60's and probably later. Seeing as 1963 was the first time CNC was used by the auto industry as far as I can tell. While they have been making cars for over 100 years you really can't include the time before technologies like CAD and CAM. And even those took a while to see widespread usage. Add to that the ability modern CAD software has to model stresses bases on the different forces in play makes a hell of a difference.

Even just going back 12 years and the amount of computing you have access to vastly changes. That was when AWS came out. AWS lets you compute massive amount of engineering data without having to invest into a super computer. (Not to say the auto industry did not have those super computers before then.)

totally false. Machine learning is not my companies core competency, but we do have a team of data scientists (myself included). Most of the data we get from our data providers is garbage by itself, but using our own data along with features from providers, we are able to pick out a huge amount of fraud.

These types of models are actually quite simple to build and implement if you actually have data.

My thinking is that if you really think that an idea is false or harmful or both, you would feel morally compelled to remove that idea. That is, morality is often the first justification for censorship.
Your reply, "I don't know the prosecutor is even going to bring up the ancestry DNA in the trial", exactly reflects my concern. Are you asserting that the DNA search and the "much more accurate DNA match" are statistically independent or that their dependence (overlapping genetic markers) is not relevant?

P.S. Regarding your "RTA" ... from the Hacker News guidelines at the bottom of the page, I quote: "Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article."
North Korea has wanted a peace treaty for some time. E.g. 2016 Rand did an analysis on North Korea wanting a peace treaty to get the US to withdraw from South Korea (https://www.rand.org/blog/2016/05/behind-north-koreas-bid-fo...). They wanted a peace treaty under Kim Jong Un's father as well (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-korea-north/north-korea-c...).

Everyone seems to be forgetting that the reason that WE have refused to sign a peace treaty for decades is because of the human rights violations in North Korea. I have no idea how the narrative switched to North Korea wanting a peace treaty as a concession from them.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is an amino acid bound to a sodium molecule to make it into a shelf stable powder. Much like table salt (NaCl) is a sodium molecule bound to a chloride molecule to achieve the same. When they contact the water in food they both dissolve into the component molecules.

So really what you're talking about is glutamate which is a very widely occuring amino acid. It's "non-essential" which means that your body produces it. Almost all fermented foods contain it (including liquid aminos). Cheeses, meats, vegetables, etc contain it. It's very likely that you eat several times as much naturally occurring glutamate in your diet as you would if you used MSG in your cooking.

Basically if someone says they are allergic to MSG, but not allergic to all of the other foods that contain glutamate, is like someone saying they're allergic to table salt, but not allergic to all of the other foods that contain sodium, which is not medically plausible.

The flip side is that very high blood concentration of sodium can cause medical issues, and people worried about glutamate argue that a similar effect is going on when you eat MSG, but research so far indicates that at normal dietary levels, you're fine to sprinkle a little of either molecule on your food.
MSG is, chemically, just a specific salt of glutamic acid. When dissolved (in food, or in the mouth) it forms free glutamate, which triggers the umami sensation on the tongue. Liquid aminos, cheeses, tomatoes, and many other foods are naturally high in free glutamates — and thus the savory, umami flavor that comes with it — even if MSG or other compounds aren't specifically added.
