And for what, a little better battery life? It's just not realistic.

Having entire vertical control, with the flexibility and profitability that entails. Apple is paying hundreds to thousands per processor to Intel, and worse (for Apple) they are beholden to Intel for their product map. This is the antithesis of what Apple is about.
Launch HN: 10k – build worlds using data (in VR)
Hi HN

I run a small visualization company, Dynamoid. For the last four years, I've been building out a VR interface for using our internal tools for importing and visualizing scientific and other datasets - it's now a full VR visualization platform, 10k.

This week I launched it on Steam Early Access.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/879660/10k/

It runs on both Rift and Vive (and theoretically Windows MR though I haven't tested it enough).

10k supports importing molecular structures from the Protein Data Bank (rcsb.org), financial datasets from Quandl.com, neuron structures from Neuromorpho.org, as well as 3D models and images (FBX, OBJ, PNG, JPG).

More info about the data types can be found here: http://10k.systems

Oh, and, the name is short for Ten Thousand Things, meaning everything in the universe.

Thanks for taking a look!
Twitter censorship is pretty extreme. My Libertarian friends and Islam critics get partially banned almost every week. It is pathetic and I think there is a larger market for more free speech. Twitter is probably becoming like SF, a shoddy hipster town full of junkies all around.
Combating Social Engineering: Tips from Black Hat 2018
I understand the emotion just fine. It is superficial frustration from wanting to be able to do something and not being able to. The solution is just to let go of it. Sleep and dreaming being what it is, I often do not remember that this is a problem until I wake up a bit more enough to remember "oh, yes, this is a problem".

Many people certainly seem to dream about issues of great significance to them. I have before, but it is by far an exception and not the rule. My dreams give me a window into how I conceptualize the world and how I break things down and store them, but it's actually quite unusual for me to have anything that can be traced back to specific emotional experiences.
Thing is, Microsoft completely deserves it because they are insulting their users every day. They are now consistently forcing changes on their users that nobody asked for, and it takes significant amounts of complaints for them to yield in even the slightest degree.

See: Metro replacing the start button, forced Windows 10 upgrades, and forced updates in Windows 10 in for starters. Users said they didn't want these things, Microsoft told them to get bent.

Casey complained about some issues with VS on HMH, Microsoft reached out and made some suggestions, suggestions completely broke his build environment. That's the kind of crap we're dealing with from today's Microsoft. Calling them babies is far more polite than what I routinely call them.
That helps you track the location of one fix, but not of all the other places the bug still resides (other release trains, for instance.) I feel like maybe there are several release models that would benefit from different types of bug trackers.
Battles are not important. Today's leaders fight wars.

It was also true in medieval and classical times. Battles were the exception. Sieges were far more common. What are sieges about? Logistics.
I'm curious how the "they're a private company, they can ban whatever they want, it's not a 1A violation" argument fares when you have government officials publicly urging Reddit and other companies to ban 3D-printing files [0]. Do these companies feel free to act independently, or does this signal governments attempting to use wink-wink-nudge-nudge influence on private companies, then being able to claim that it's the private companies that are exercising their own rights to censor? Seems like we are entering an interesting future of public-private cronyism.

I'm surprised to see as liberal a paper as The Washington Post supporting this. Or really any news source coming out of a democracy.
The AI control is architected such that failover isn't really necessary; the local control is always in control, it just gets suggestions (which it can safely ignore) from the AI. If the AI disappears or starts sending bad suggestions, the AI gets kicked out.

We're trying to continually improve the AI so that its time in control is maximized, much like Waymo's early days with self-driving car software + safety drivers.
Much of this "painful year" are a direct result of his own words. It's easy to have seen this coming for a while now.

Elon seems eager to play the press and for some reason the media loves following his every move like he's a celebrity. There are plenty of others who work harder than he does who don't manipulate the media nearly to the same extent.

He would do well to step his ego out of his public interactions so these things can slide right off. That, and also stop making claims upon which are impossible to fulfill.
I think this IPO could happen sooner than you think. The Saudis seem to have quite a bit of influence on the current US presidential administration and I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis played a role in the decision to sanction Venezuela, who was at the time was the #1 oil exporter in the world, and the decision to sanction Iran, another huge oil exporter. They've recently coordinated oil supply cuts through OPEC and also isolated Quatar, another large oil exporter. I think the claim that peak oil is behind us is reasonable conjecture, especially with the rise of economically viable alternative energy sources. I think the Saudis are well aware of this and they're currently making what looks like a very effective short term play at cashing out as much as they can.

A little side bit to this is that Saudi Arabia's King Salman named his 31-year-old son Mohammed bin Salman (MS) as crown prince on June 21, 2017, removing his nephew, Mohammed bin Nayef, as heir and one of they key platforms on which MS has sought to earn favor from other ranking figures has been the promise to make this IPO happen asap. The longer it takes the bumpier his transition to power will be, so you can bet he is well incentives to cut the needed deals to drive that price of oil as high as he can as fast as he can.

The UI I just looked at said something like "100% to the Dasher" under the tip selection.

Do you have evidence that they're lying about that (which might be outright fraud and thereby a risky move)?

Or are you saying something different, that if a customer tips $0, DoorDash has to pay $7 (or DoorDash pays $4 to make up for a $3 tip, etc), but if a customer tips $7 or more, DoorDash has to pay $0?
Today, probably not many. But from the 1600s to the 1940s, it was definitely the norm. And there's a lot of people who will read the self-congratulatory histories from that time period and parrot the "facts" back as unquestioned truth.
Are you in control right now? Leaving the deep philosophical questions aside, you can have the same kind of control in a dream. As in, you feel 100% (or sometimes much more) awake, alert, and in possession of your full waking capacities, but what surrounds you isn't the physical world.
Stats are just lies wrapped up in theory. Anything that shows Subotai as less than a top 3 general is inherently flawed. Relying on Wikipedia for data is also folly.
Having types on your API names is a good indicator that you didn't abstract your problem in separable enough concerns.

It does help one turn a bad API into a bad API that will lead to slightly less bugs.
It's interesting how whataboutism is called out in every thread about China but its somehow okay when the topic of interest is the Brits/French. Your two examples don't even hold water, the first one is a temporary exhibition of donated artwork, the second is filled with replicas or illustratory material, not original works. You even say yourself that you can't easily find too many others, while the examples you've found are like apples to oranges compared to the art unabashedly displayed in european museums that were looted from their places of origin in very near history.
I really like Kakoune and its ideas. But I've invested too much into vim to switch at this point :(
"Lucid dreaming is a remarkable state of consciousness..."

Like anything else, it's only remarkable until you've understood and experienced it. I look forward to the time when this is considered a normal state of consciousness and is just something people do to enhance their life experience.

We in the west have a pretty weak relationship to the limits of consciousness. It's great to see this changing with studies like this popping up more frequently.

That said, I've only achieved mixed results with my lucid dreaming experiments as I found the training to hamper my energy the next day. I'm going to give galantamine a try and see if I can get some more consistent results.
ULA announced Vulcan's (partial) reusability before SpaceX landed a rocket, and I imagine they had been working on that for some time before it was announced. Granted, SpaceX certainly lit a fire under them to make some changes and bring costs down with Vulcan
We're certainly working with companies (at least, the ones that will talk to us), but the goal is to get people who own toys to make their own interfaces. That's where the really interesting part of the project is, seeing what people come up with given the chance.

There's a whole bunch of ways to handle large files in git nowadays without bloating the size of the repo. Hopefully the distributed bug tracker would work with those...
Is it? You can use it without being a developer, you just need something that supports either GamePad Vibration or Buttplug itself. For example there was a cam model doing a stream where she played Rocket League, re-routing the gamepad vibrations to a toy.

Great pick up!!
> I also really like the idea of tickets moving and closing as a part of merges

So does that mean that bug reports are tied to branches? (I.e. depending on which branch you've checked out, you see a different list of bugs?) I wouldn't like that idea at all because how would you keep track of bugs (and related discussions) across branches? (For instance, having 10 branches would imply that you suddenly have 10 versions of the same bug discussion, too.)
We're being realistic, you can't save everyone. There's billions of people who have a quality of life magnitudes below yours and mine. It's naive to think we can simply allow them all into our country without consequence.

I suppose this is precisely why the project is changing direction. LXDE/LXQT are pretty cool desktop environments and I'd hate to see their development come to a halt even if I'm personally not a user.

If it is not a common fallacy, let me make an appeal to you:

If I go to your house and beat you up, you have every right to call the police on me and they should be able to throw me in jail, and keep an eye on me until I've reformed my ways. However, this doesn't mean you can go to my house and start stealing all my things: just like any other immoral act, as you point out, one crime doesn't absolve another. This should apply even if you're a policeman.

Accordingly, the USSR should not have seized Kaliningrad, Stettin, and Silesia. Don't you think those territories should be returned to Germany?
I did my PhD dissertation on a similar topic to this. The company I worked with despised neural net methods because it wasn't robust to new operating regimes that cropped up frequently and it wasn't explainable enough for anybody to trust it.

That said, it'd be cool if Google opened the data set for everybody. The process monitoring community would be excited!
>"Would we rather that Musk had just never founded Tesla and SpaceX, ...

If not, then it would surely be better for the conversation to be less about how crazy or unstable or reckless Musk is..."

This seems like a false dichotomy. The headline of this piece has a reference to Tweeting and the article by extension concerns his at time provocative social media presence. I am someone who is rooting for Tesla and the mainstreaming of purely electric cars and reusable rockets. And there are many investors who are actively rooting for his successes as well. But he doesn't do himself any favors by calling someone a "pedo" on Twitter or stating "he's secured funding to take the company private" etc. We live in world of hyper-sensationalized news cycles, something he's well aware of. I would rather the media and public discourse focused on the positive aspects of his entrepreneurial endeavors. But when he as CEO gives them lots of fuel and easy path to do otherwise he's kind of part that problem in that no?
True, but it is not only the data. Even if it was why aren't the big 3 doing this already? Tesla is a technology company more-so than a car company. They employ the engineers focusing on machine learning and gathering the right data to support that. This would be a brand new area for Ford, Chevy, etc... I'm guessing. Not that they couldn't ramp up, but I don't think it would be as easy as you seem to suggest.

Walmart had the funds to overcome and mimic what Amazon was doing early on as well and they didn't. Why not? Some companies are set in their ways and have trouble seeing the future...or at least be willing to sacrifice short term revenue goals for long term gain (often times big profitable companies act this way).

TBH, I own a Tesla. I agree they are likely not the leader in the best technology for driverless cars, they are definitely the leader in affordable driverless cars. The interesting thing is autopilot gets better and better on streets you drive over and over again. Tesla's have ruined my experience for driving any other car. I'm sure someone else will make some great electric cars in the future as well, but right now there is nothing that compares to it overall.

Edit: To add one other point on my initial paragraph (and coincides with my last). Tesla not only gathers the data but has the autopilot features to be able to test changes to the algorithms in place and improve them over time. Even if the big 3 started collecting this data they are far behind in the ability to even simulate much less enable it for real feedback on the roads.
The closed boot loader is a red herring. Unless you have the underlying RTL source the hardware could do anything - no secret boot loader required. Open source without open hardware is a false sense of security.
I used to smoke the leaf occasionally. The next two nights I'd have insane amounts of dreams, but also not feel properly rested, like it kept you at a lighter level of sleep. Which makes some sense.
Hi! I'd love to connect with you. I work with non-technical founders, mostly women, to help them sell the right product before investing too much in developers building the wrong one. There are a few people I can share this opportunity with and can think of a bunch of places on Facebook to get the word out.
Vercingetorix held the numerical advantage in the decisive battle of Alesia. Caesar got himself sandwiched between the town he was besieging and the relieving gallic armies. I think Roman engineering overwhelmed him.
Around 1975/76 Byte magazine had a couple of very good articles about building a speech synthesizer for S-100 bus computers.

Since it was still the very early days of personal computing, it was very ELI5, so still very useful.

It's amazing how little data is needed to generate useable speech. If I ever get some free time, I want to see if I can use their schematic to make it work on RS-232.
agreed. to be clear i like this project a lot. we desperately need innovation in this area. this current github+jira duopoly on issue tracking is annoying.
When I've flown in my dreams, it always begins by zooming up from solid ground, not by leaping off a roof or out a window.

So, no harm in accidentally trying to fly in reality. Except looking weird.
Yea. This is a wart. I'll be fixing it.
Its possible, the Angular Service Worker has one for example.
Ahh, as I assumed you had nothing to support your argument, but a typing one must go.

As mentioned in a different subthread [1], their actual delivery fee can easily be above $8 when including their 11% "service fee". (If the "delivery" portion is only $3, the total CCF check would need to be $45.50, which doesn't seem outlandish for that establishment).

Even denser cities are likely to have even more (cheaper) competition.

It's not open source, but our FR software runs on as low as a $100 Intel Compute Stick, while still providing 10+million FR compares per second, at accuracy rates in the 90's. On a 3.4Ghz i7 we provide 24M compares per second. That could be video or stills, acquired from live cameras, media files, or still images, via local/network storage, rtsp and related ip streams, or a REST API. Exports have full customization, able to include video tracked heads, pose corrected heads, and even full 3D mesh reconstructions of each tracked face per frame. If one wanted, video "face swaps" are a piece of cake with our software. Not open source, if the expenses above are typical, we cost far less less than using open source: https://cyberextruder.com/facial-recognition-software/
Bugs Everywhere:
- bug are stored as files alongside the normal code, which is different than the vast majorities of bug tracker operate, and also rely on git to merge properly the bug's files in a correct state. In git-bug, merge is simply rebasing commit, there is no conflict.
- last commit was in 2013

As far as I understand, the data model of git-bug is much closer than what github does internally. If you look at githug's API, you will find the same timeline of edit operation, so it might help them to pick up the idea.
Well, anecdotally, I'm from the UK, and hadn't heard of the Nissan Leaf until you mentioned it. Tesla, on the other hand... Although yes, actually that's very impressive.

With regards to Hybrids, my (limited) understanding is that they are part of the problem - they're better, but only better by half. From what I'm reading about global warming, we need to push as far as possible towards a fully electric, mostly renewable future as quick as possible.
Just realised that Passmark does not have a Linux benchmark program, so wont be able to run it.
The way that genuine lucid dreaming differs from those scenarios is that it's been shown empirically that the dreamer is in fact aware that he is asleep and is dreaming.

Check out Stephen LaBerge for more info. They found that while asleep, a person is basically paralyzed with exception to their eye movement. In a lab setting they were able to have the dreamer use a signal, using eye movement, that they were dreaming.

One thing they did was to test the theory that subjective dream time is different than time experience while awake. They did this by doing the eye signal, counting down 10 seconds, and then signalling again. They found that there was no "time dilution" when compared to wakefulness.
Nothing is forcing people to wade into that cesspit though.

Currently what's actually going on is "Jack, ban the people I don't like or I will leave."

That's a really shitty ultimatum.
> I think what OP wanted is usable NUC alternative on ARM (popularity is the result of that and is really proportional)

There's a little truth to that, but it also overlooks the huge effort the Pi Foundation has made to foster a community, which I think is the one thing the Pi team do that other board manufacturers simply haven't come close to matching.

I'd personally argue it's the work of the Pi Foundation that has lead to the boards success more so than the boards themselves, which to be honest are increasingly pretty under powered compared to almost all rivals and have very long intervals between upgrades. It has probably also helped that the Pi Foundation is a charity promoting CS education in schools, rather than a commercial enteriprise.
There problem here is that now you need to scan beyond the function signature to see what the parameters are for. It also makes it impossible for your text editor or IDE to tell you anything about the function call you're hovering over besides 'n'.

The idea is to reduce cognitive load as much as possible for someone navigating your code. Every line the reader has to read increases cognitive load, and slows him down.
Yep, it's already shipping on the Qualcomm HP Envy x2. Performance of x86-on-ARM seems to be mixed/disappointing so far, but the bigger catch seems to be that it doesn't support x64 yet:

i don't think that's the right way to think about it. Legitimacy is only meaningful when it can be enforced.

It's not Ambien or nothing for most people. This is a false choice and a dangerous way of framing it. Cognitive therapy for insomnia is just as effective in short-term and, unlike sedatives, do not cause sleep to be worse in the future.
