Branch prediction is great except in the rare cases where it isn't. I wouldn't want to see it removed but I would like to see better documentation and a more transparent interface onto it, so that those rare programs that do need precise control over it (e.g. security code) can have it.

If it's your home network, you could use 172.16.0.0/20, as well as the CGNAT /16.

> If I'm going to do that why wouldn't I just go straight to IPv6?

Because it is a lot more than just renumbering.

Whether or not it's a good idea depends on what you expect to get from it (anything?), how good your ISP's IPV6 support is, and how good the support of hosts you connect to is.

If whatever hosts you contact are all on IPV4 only, then you'll have to occasionally debug the 6to4/4to6/Teredo/whatever kludges that add latency and provide nothing of value compared to using an IPv4 directly.

But also relatively outdated graphics drivers outside the NVIDIA proprietary drivers (yes, I know that there is a branch with Linux DRM drivers). This also means relatively limited support for Wayland, so you have to use X11, which is insecure.

Even though there are proprietary NVIDIA drivers, CUDA is not supported, which excludes most modern machine learning.

Show HN: Placr – dope backgrounds for your video selfies
Hey everyone!

Placr CEO here . We are launching an app (Placr) that uses neural networks to change a background of your video selfies in real-time.

In Spring, 2016 we came out with an idea of a fun mobile app that would let users to change backgrounds of their video selfies. We wanted to let people place themselves wherever they want. As it often happens, it was just an idea and nothing more.

2 years later, we decided to finally give it a go. We challenged ourselves to ship it within a month. And after 4 weeks of hard work our MVP is here :).

If you are interested in trying it out please check out our ProductHunt page! At the moment, Placr is one of the featured products of the day. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback, and happy to answer any questions.

Hope you'll like it!

A lot of this boils down to preference.

For example, I've never liked IPT and I believe the way you set up pf(.conf) makes a lot more sense and is easier to understand. You can work somewhat around that (and vice versa as well via pfctl) but I prefer PF. YMMV.

Things like ifconfig and ip differ per *NIX which is bloody annoying. The macOS ifconfig and route differ a lot from the Linux one, for example adding a default gateway in Linux and FreeBSD with the route command requires different syntax/argument and just typing route on macOS doesn't yield the current routes (cause logic). As much as there is a learning curve involved, iproute2 is a great solution to simplify. There's even iproute2mac for if you're accustomed to iproute2 on Linux. It is a wrapper for ifconfig/route/etc though advanced arguments don't work.

Systemd has the same problem iproute2 has: a learning curve of an integral part of the OS.

As for snapshots, Windows, macOS, and Nix have that as well.

Personally, I love the macOS desktop (and Mac in general with UNIX under the hood) but something like i3wm would also do the job. And I bet it'd run just as great on FreeBSD.
This is made worse in my mind for games that are essentially single-player yet have some sort of online element that means you cant just hit pause or save & exit whenever you want. You have to keep on going for longer than you want until it is "safe" for you to stop.

In the old days you could just exit out to the pause menu or save so you could go to the toilet or answer the phone or talk to your family and your in-game activities were safe. You could pick and chose when and how you wanted to play.

Now you cant stop when you want, because if you do you'll just be left "idle" in-game. This means that you're prey for other players or NPCs in game, and you risk losing your character's progress and you're back to the start (sometimes there is a significant time-investment to this progress so understandably you dont want to risk it). You can only stop when you get to some sort of safe-place in-game, which means you have to play longer than you want to.

So you get situations like where if I am playing a game and my wife asks me to come and see something or make a cup of tea or something, I have to ask her to wait until it is "safe" for me to stop. I feel like I am prioritising the game over my wife (and I guess I am to an extent).

I dont like this.

I really wish games would allow you to just quit whenever you want without risking your in-game progress.

Perhaps we can try to cut down the red tape a little but we can't eliminate the idea of informed consent. If you're doing a study on patients, they absolutely have a right to know and a right to refuse to be a part of your study without any repercussions.

I think informed consent is something we can't get rid of even if we do something drastic and eliminate medical licensing altogether.
When tobacco advertising was banned from TV, literally all tobacco companies profited. It was a classic example of game theory - If one of them advertised, they all needed to advertise to keep up, but if none of them do (or were unable to because of regulations), they all profit because people were still buying tobacco.

It may not be possible. Addiction is a disease of our systems governing attention and motivation: Normally those systems should adapt so that we pay attention to those things which are most relevant to our long-term well-being, and so we are motivated to act in ways which sustain our well-being and success.

Addiction occurs when a pattern of exposure to an acute stimulus activates our reward system in such a way that our attentional and motivational systems are subverted to cause us to seek out more of that short term reward, at the expense of our long-term happiness.

The "satisfaction", as you put it, is the subjective experience of that overwhelming, system-breaking reward signal. To get that experience without the resulting behavioral consequences would require us to fundamentally augment how reward affects the brain. It's doubtful it's possible to do that with addictive stimuli without causing wide-reaching effects on general learning and adaptation.

If the cost of food doubles, your cost of a meal out doesn't double, but merely increases by a lesser amount.

This is a 25% bump, a portion of which will be borne by the manufacturer, seller, shipper, and money handler.

I don't see how it's even close to possible for customs to intercept 50% of the mail coming in from China to ensure they've paid the tariffs.

So, things will range from unenforceable and unenforced, to a minor price increase, so small most of us would never notice. Akin to a minor currency fluctuation that everybody who doesn't use or peg to the US dollar has to deal with already.

If you can afford the time to be a maker, this will not impact anything at the end of the day.

Build software that integrates with popular 911 centre software; a local muncipality somewhere will trial it. Work with them to get it in the hands of the citizens there and let it grow out.

Simultaneously, get it in to small rescue outfits (For example, a 26 mile lake close to my home has a volunteer boat rescue service) for free and promote it around closed communities (Hillwalkers, climbers, or in my case, marina members) where it can easily spread.

Building the software upfront for 911 integration means when the big boys finally take notice, you're ready to get involved with them asap, before anyone else can

Its a risky upfront strategy but it helps with what others have discussed in this thread - When you need Apple to support you to integrate further with them, you're the one holding the cards and presenting an easier option than building out their own alternative.

LightGBM on AWS Lambda
Research at Nvidia: Transforming Standard Video into Slow Motion with AI
I was always into "computer stuff", but nothing serious where I could earn any money (gaming > programming). So the programming part, where I ended up in the end as software developer, took off very late for me.

I studied computer science, but didn't really know why I did it. I learned about all this programming syntax, solving smaller problems, but it was always difficult for me grasping the bigger picture. But there was one seminar for half a year which open my eyes: Distributed Systems. Suddenly the bigger picture, having webservices, IOT or mobile devices, made so much more sense to me. Everything is connected with an API and not till then the acronym made sense for me. After the seminar I saw this huge potential in programming, because everything could be connected. That's when I started to develop serious interest in programming. If you are interested about it , you can read the whole story over [here](https://www.robinwieruch.de/what-is-an-api-javascript/).

I think so. I was really addicted to playing the guitar when I was younger. You get that same dopamine release from learning a riff or finally getting through a solo without messing up (which you may end up trying 100 times in a row). Then once you pull it off, you do it again, and again and again because it feels good.

The same thing happens with any skill based activity. Like learning a 120 move form in Karate, or pitching a no hitter (where every single time you prevent a hit, you get that hit of dopamine), etc..

Or programming where you might spend 15 hours a day consumed with it, forgetting to eat, etc., where you might get hundreds of dopamine hits during that time frame. Each one being triggered by your app doing what you wanted it to do.

Some people have a ridiculous amount of determination and will not give up until they do what they set out to do. It doesn't matter if it's a video game or not, the activity will consume them. Video games just make it easier for more people to get addicted, but that deeply rooted dopamine cycle will affect you no matter what you do. If video games didn't exist, you would find something else.

Nuclear weapons have minimal potential for domestic use, short of a geographically partisan civil war. Facial recognition conversely has huge potential for domestic use, and arguably little potential for foreign use in a major conflict.

Well, you don't have to use those abstractions. But yes, it's a sad fact that when programming in Scala, the closer to Java-style you program, the faster your program will be.

I haven't read this paper closely, but it looks like it's more measuring the performance of Akka, rather than the performance of Scala. Akka does reasonably well here compared to Erlang, so I don't think there's anything we can complain about.

Could you get all of Akka's features with better performance if it was made in Java? I doubt it. Optimized Scala and Java code should be identical.

Google Claims Its AI Is Better at Predicting Death Than Hospitals – IQVIS Inc
This is often used as a the reasoning behind the succes of Linux. But the AT&T lawsuit was already settled in 1994. I first installed FreeBSD in 1996, long after the settlement, and FreeBSD was a better more polished system with ports, good documentation, etc. Remember that in Linux-land Slackware was the most popular distribution, RPM did not exist yet, and SUSE had just rebased their distribution from Slackware to Jurix. At the time, FreeBSD and BSD/OS were also quite popular for servers (web, mail, DNS, etc.).

The AT&T lawsuit may have been a factor, but I think a more plausible explanation is that the Linux ecosystem just moved faster by having short incremental release cycles, where FreeBSD only branched from -CURRENT every few years. So, you in FreeBSD-land you basically had to choose between something that is unstable or something that is old.

Another factor (I think) is that the Linux ecosystem marketed itself better. FreeBSD was a non-profit project (even though Walnut Creek supported them), Linux had a lot of commercial vendors (Red Hat, SUSE, Caldera) that were actively pushing boxes to book stores, etc.
Damn, that is the way it should be in the rest of the world.

>There will always be a small handful of engineers that can push the button to move code into PROD or even change code in PROD live.

What? Why?

Nobody on my development team has access to the production code signing keys. And nobody - at all - has the ability to remotely make a production system take an unsigned update.
They have, and broadly speaking I certainly agree with how they choose to engineer their software, to an even higher degree than (whatever I still know about how) the FreeBSD team choose to engineer their software.

(FWIW, that's why I actually run OpenBSD on the few non-Linux machines that I use :-) )

However, it seems to me like this is one of those cases where there's more than one way to skin a cat. FreeBSD is missing a lot of useful hardening features, such as ASLR (yay, it's 2003 again!), and has made a couple of "interesting" security choices, but judging by the number and scale of FreeBSD deployments, it seems like there are convincing ways to work around these problems in practice. That document suggests there's a lot of work involved in working around them reliably; again, the number and scale of deployments would suggest that the trade-off is considered reasonable by a lot of people.

I agree, but to many try to ride that middle ground, KDE is probably the best example. It aims to be simple but so much is configurable via hidden context menus and drag and drop controls that users can completely rearrange their desktop accidentally, even when it's locked. I don't know how but they do. If they'd just hide everything in text config files it would be better for both groups.

> Btw2, in my childhood we had no computers or experience, but no one failed to manage volumes on chained-together audio systems. A good subject to think of.

My family were constantly getting confused by things like the volume button on the VCR remote and the surround sound home theatre craze was a nightmare (and notice how so few people bother with this complication any more?). Other things like only changing the channel on the TV while recording something on the VCR and why the have to press AV2 when they used to just put it on channel 5 needed constant reminders. Their way of looking at the world just never understood input/output pipelines, at best they had to learn what to do by rote.
