No. That’s an old article. Different event. Perhaps same problem, but there’s no evidence I’ve seen to support that yet.
Wouldn't that then require reflection, which is "slow" (comparatively speaking - if this isn't in a hot path then perhaps who cares?)

Some types of pickles, sure, but often traditionally it's just lactic acid fermentation without any added vinegar. Half- or full-sour dill pickles are just made with a 3-5% salt brine and spices. The acidity comes from the fermentation process, not added vinegar.

> tolerating the slightly thicker build, which is inevitable for highly serviceable machines

I'm in the same boat, and I actually think the lack of serviceability is a feature. On the x220 you can change the disk, the memory and the keyboard just by unscrewing a few screws. On newer laptops, including the whole Thinkpad line, you'll eventually end up breaking little pieces of plastic involved in holding the bottom of the machines, regardless of how much care you take, using the right tools etc...

Especially considering that the gain is to be thin, which really doesn't add much to laptop. If you're restricted for space, then the width is the key factor (try to use anything bigger than a 13 inch on an airplane!). "Thin" seems to be a pissing contest between laptop manufacturers, which the marketing departments then took care of convincing buyers that it was an important feature.
Humans fuse a lot of sensory data though. For example, walking without proprioception is incredibly hard: https://philosophyandpsychology.wordpress.com/2007/10/14/liv...
That surprised me really - aside from not knowing how bread sounds ideal to gatherers for condensing their finding into transportable and preserved bread. And they both do have a lot of time to kill too.

The tools sound like a real obstacle given how fanatically low possession hunter gatherers are - doing things like flint knapping on demand tools instead of specialized tools. Perhaps gatherer divergence - they would need just a pot and maybe a vegetation cutter at most to be useful for gathering and cooking while hunters could need just things to kill and butcher their kills. Wood and stone both being grabbed in situ.
Semi-related, the first time I feel like I was ever exposed to the concept of transgender was in the science fiction book Commitment Hour by James Alan Gardner

"The novel is set in Gardner's "League of Peoples's" futuristic universe, and plays out in the small, isolated village of Tober Cove. Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, Tober Cove most resembles a rural, seventeenth century fishing village, with one exception: every year, everyone below the age of 21 changes gender. At the age of twenty-one, the people of the village must "commit" to being male, female or both in the form of a Hermaphrodite (a 'Neut'), forever"

While I've never identified as anything other than my biological gender, when I read this around age 12-13 I thought "wouldn't the world be incredibly different if choosing your gender was a thing". Little did I know that 20 years later I'd be working with a female to male and a male to female and the Garbage song Androgyny would seem far less obscure and an actual reality.

Science Fiction does a lot for many issues and fields, I wish more people would read (and reflect on) well thought out science fiction.

Parsing isn't actually that hard once you wrap your hard around the problem. There are lots of good guides for writing parsers online which really helped me out when I was feeling the same bourdon as you are.

As a Turkish who's not in denial, I can tell you that some people may go great lengths to change your mind. I can guarantee that you'll be, at the very least, annoyed for no reason. It's a very sensitive subject and has been a propaganda factor from both sides. It's not that I'm insensitive to the people who lost their lives in this genocide, I'm just claiming that it's been abused.

Both Armenians and Turkish people in the area are otherwise peaceful.
While I will agree America’s math curriculum is a giant turd, this is simultaneously the common fallacy of a smart person thinking that more people would give a crap about their field if it were taught with more metaphors in it. For example, there’s no point whatsoever in teaching topology to anyone but people with a serious interest in math who are proficient in calculus and elementary analysis

Agreed. When it comes to hyper-realism, they draw a grid over the source material, and the canvas. It's not tracing, but it's a way of scaling and recreating the proportions of an image very accurately. You can see the grids in the below photos from him, and some others at the same studio.

Now, look at the work from this 11 year old when he draws a live person.

https://scontent-frt3-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/15e2a787bc8a92a6...

Don't get me wrong, he's talented, and it's clear he has spent a lot of time practicing. The below video shows him sketching a life drawing of a woman, and I think it's better than most could achieve.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQeNBCJt8-Y

When I was a kid, I tried to do similar things. I remember recreating photographs with pencil. I did a lot of measurements. For example, my drawing would be 10:1 scale compared to the source. So I'd measure the distance between the pupils, and mark them on the paper. Then I'd measure the source material for the distance from the left and right pupils to the right corner of the mouth, scale the measurements accordingly, and mark a dot for that position. In the end, I would get something similar to his below drawing, where it looked pretty realistic, but a little wonky.

https://scontent-frt3-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/e9bea443e7e0fe8b...

I was probably 13 at the time. Now, I'm a terrible artist. I probably spent hundreds of hours in life drawing classes in my late teens, and I was one of the worst people in my classes. If you give me a pencil and ask me to draw a person from my mind, or a person in front of me, I think I would do as good as the average person or worse. But, if you give me a photograph and time, I can do an accurate job at recreating it. I don't think it's much talent though, in my case it's more patience, and paying attention to small details.

In short, I think he's skilled at copying photographs, and shows a lot of technical promise at his age. That doesn't make him a genius artist though. Who knows though, maybe he'll get to that point.
I would always read “rule of thumb” as a general rule, something you would consult in your mind as potentially being applicable in any given circumstance (and hence is general, by definition, even if you did not use the word “general”).

I feel like I’m being chastized here for defending a reasonable, obvious interpretation of your comment, while you are doing mental gymnastics to try to add qualifications to it.

I’m fine to drop the issue from this point, sure. But it feels rude to me that I am being told to stop talking about it even though reading back through the comments after sleeping on it, it seems obvious that my original interpretation was right, that I described my counter point in a perfectly civil way, and that your replies don’t seem fair.
> You appear to be suggesting that I'm being hit by cars and not noticing because I'm not paying attention.

This is not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting that cars also pose a real threat to your life. I haven't been hit by a car either but I still worry.

I don't disagree that "many cyclists don't care about or look for pedestrians". My main point was that you should not paint such a broad brush against cyclists. Many cyclists agree with you! I have spent a fair amount of time talking to problem cyclists, and it seems to me that they would also be problem drivers behind the wheel as well. It's not cycling that makes them bad. It's their lack of concern for others.

> I'm sorry my experience doesn't match your prejudices

This phrasing strikes me as rather hostile. Again, I don't deny that you've had bad experiences with cyclists, so writing of my "prejudices" doesn't really make sense here as I don't believe what you seem to think I do.

In fact, while I won't go into details, I actually stopped talking to problem cyclists because I found them to be both stubborn and violent. I suspect my own experience with problem cyclists may be worse than yours. But again, I focus on problem cyclists, not all cyclists. I am not your enemy!
I've never understood the infatuation with Tim Horton's. Their coffee is okay and their donuts are okay. Not bad, just okay. Not enough to rave about. Their Tim Bits are pretty good, though. That's what folks around here like to get.

Yep, I was very happy to see the ARM and MIPS output. Syntax highlighting is a great idea. It didn't even bother me but this is coming from a guy that had a hard copy print out of the 386 programmers reference.
I have one of those from work and running NixOS in it, everything works perfectly and I love the machine.

Btw if thinking of a X1C for Linux use, I'd skip the latest for now due to them changing how the sleep works and it having issues even with Windows (losing battery while sleeping). The fifth model is great though, if you're not looking for the 8th gen CPU and HDR screen.
I've worked with a 2013 MBP 15" for 4 years and then switched to XPS 13 + Kubuntu. The touchpad is butter smooth - be it taps, clicks, or two finger scrolling (and three finger gestures thanks to comfortable-swipe).

Are there any good alternatives?

I've used Prime and Hulu before but they seem to have the same issue from time to time. The obvious alternative for me is to rent the content from Prime or iTunes (I have an Apple TV so my options are somewhat limited), but at $3-$5 per rental that's 3-4 movies on Netflix before I get my money back. I think I watch that many but I'm not sure. I watch a lot of crap I wouldn't otherwise that I feel like I'm settling for, but on the other hand Netflix is just my ticket to zone out and stop thinking about other stuff, so it does the trick.

It sounds like you're arguing that Netflix is not only impossible, but that it would be more impossible if it served text.

>But, the CEO is going to investors pitching the fact that we've built/are building some deep learning engine that can be applied to all problems.

Are you directly involved in the meetings the CEO is having with investors? Do you have first hand knowledge of how the investors are reacting to what the CEO is saying? Is what you are saying based on your experience in those meetings, or from other conversations with your CEO? Remember that your CEO may have conversations with you that don't, in any way, reflect the conversations they are having with investors.

The world of business and money is filled with hype, painting pictures, "vision for the future", etc. Startups, Big and Small Tech Companies, Non-Tech Companies, it's all the same if you're trying to get VC money or budgets. What's comfortable for CEOs,VCs, and marketing may not be comfortable for somebody in a technical role. The people investing the money or approving the budget need to do their due diligence properly.

Rather than asking about your CEO, ask yourself if your own sense of morality is being violated. I've been in a similar situations before, where the company I worked was using consulting hours to sell a terrible (in my view) Data Science product. The "Product" did more to satisfy the person signing the purchase order than anybody who actually had to use it. That being said, all the consultants were sincere and the customers were really happy with the work we did, even if they had to buy that terrible product to get more time from the consultants.

If you are enjoying the work and doing right by your customers, then let yourself enjoy it. If your CEO is saying you are doing cutting edge cancer research with your product and you are running the models for a active clinical trial, find another job!!

Leaving the EU with no negotiation means no flights to europe or the U.S. Overfly rights still exist because the UK signed up to Chicago Convention. There's a fair few countries where the UK will still have rights to fly to - Singapore for one, I suspect much of Africa too.

Large-Scale Visual Speech Recognition
Someone hacking your paper, in person, means you have much larger problems.

Most hacks rely on attacks of scale. They don't care about you. They care about some percentage of "you" that makes their hack work.

Of course, the very hacking has changed significantly since I started years ago. It used to be about exploration and investigation - it was much more akin to trespassing than anything else.

Now, it's about making money and influence control. That saddens me.

I don't think this is really news. Anyone with an SDR good enough could easy replicate and alter GPS signals. Since the satellites are so far away, spoofing and jamming are simple affairs. You could affect GPS for miles with something you can carry in your pocket.

You can see a crude form of this around tall buildings. Multipath from large structures is enough to "spoof" GPS by hundreds of meters.

It's definitely true for some people I know because it gets you above the fold for the game/category.

But for the minority of people who care about specific games/categories that usually aren't above the fold on browse (which hn is probably biased towards), this gets you quite consistent growth and engagement, especially if you're competant at the game or interacting.
