The material database provides broad coverage of common and more specialized materials, including isotropic and anisotropic BRDFs of metals, paper, car paints, organic samples, fabrics, etc. Each material is available in a spectral version that covers the 360(UV) - 1000nm (NIR) range with ~4nm sample spacing, as well as a RGB version for compatibility with renderers that do not support color spectra. The representation is extremely compact, requiring approximately 16KiB and 544KiB per channel for isotropic and anisotropic materials, respectively. Furthermore, it provides a natural importance sampling operation that does not require numerical fits or complex additional data structures. Technical details on the underlying parameterization and measurement methodology are available in the paper

I see so many people around the Internet who smugly explain to their comments section of choice what Kessler Syndrome is, and link the Wikipedia page for it, and almost none of them actually know what they're talking about.

Whenever I bring up the density of debris in a given orbit, or the drag characteristics of the debris, they get mad. Everyone should read your comment and realize that it's possible to know a lot more about this than the Wikipedia article tells you, and accept that they are not a special enlightened environmentalist.

Kessler Syndrome is not a serious risk for Earth. It would be expensive and difficult to cause a long-lasting debris field that made space launches impossible on purpose. And we're trying to avoid it. Every organization with access to space is taking steps to mitigate space junk, including CNSA.

The idea of drag-and-drop editors replacing code is laughable as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe not! The last half of the article is all about the faults; the closing line of the article (before footnotes) questions whether or not Apple is making the right maps at all.

And the footnotes are relentlessly negative about Apple:

"These building height regressions are surprising because they contradict TechCrunch’s claim that Apple’s buildings are now 'more accurate'."

"Consider that just two years after it started adding algorithmically extracted buildings to its map, Google had already added the majority of the U.S.’s buildings. But after four years, Apple has only added buildings in 64% of California and 9% of Nevada."

"All of this new detail is not without cost. In many areas, Apple Maps’s roads are now harder to see than before."

"Part of the reason why Yelp’s place database is so much smaller than Google’s is because Yelp is largely focused on businesses with consumer-facing storefronts. And you can see the consequences of this on Apple’s map, especially with government-related places."

"Or maybe the issue is that Apple’s extraction algorithms just aren’t as good as Google’s yet?"

"Another advantage of the Local Guides program is that Google owns everything that’s contributed, including all of the photos."

"For instance, here’s the Six Flags Great America theme park that’s just seven miles away from Apple’s headquarters." (With a shot of Great America lacking detail in Apple's map.)

"It’s odd that Apple refuses to track trip start/end points but sees nothing wrong with mapping tennis and baskball courts in people’s backyards."

"It’s almost as if Google is saying this is now a map of destinations—all of the places it’ll be able to take you to, someday soon."

"I think Google’s ambitions here run far deeper than being just another Yelp or Foursquare. If you zoom out on everything Google is doing, you see the makings of a much larger, end-to-end travel platform."

It's kind of interesting -- it's as if halfway through he forgot that he was writing about improvements in Apple's mapping and decided he was writing about the promise of Google's mapping as a new kind of platform.

But either way, this is a classic rhetoric. It's the bit where you praise a specific thing to the skies, then pull back and reveal how in the big picture that thing doesn't matter so much. Note that I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm just saying that this is not, over all, an article that praises Apple.

How about from the people who study chance ?

The issue with rare events is that you can never estimate the probability curves. This has the strange result that each one looks unique, complex and very much non-random ... despite potentially being very common, simple and random.

We have one example from an unknown distribution. You can always read a lot into it's exact properties ... but there's nothing to be read, because we don't have the variation on those properties. So this could have been a very common run-of-the-mill interstellar asteroid ... and it could have been an alien explorer. We don't know, and we probably won't know. Well, I guess in the second case we'll eventually realize.

Storing the data no, but text output as you’ve mentioned, or even passing it into some algorithm that update your profile with some signal that “may be interested in...” is entirely possible with minimal data requirements.

And I’m not saying Google or Amazon are doing this today. If not then it may be one bad earnings call away for some engineer to say “well....we could...”.

Anything is possible in the pursuit of profits. I’d Google is willing to buy users offline credit card transactions to link to their profiles, it’s clear they will slurp up all data available for them. Why not that listening device in people’s home? “Overheard user X saying they signed up at google-ads-customer.com” “overheard user Y saying google-ad-customers service is fantastic”
Ask HN: Why Apple Notes have two search boxes?
To the UX experts: when one tries to search through apple Notes inside the app, it's a two step process. First, type the query into the search box in the title bar. Then, select a note and ⌘F to search within the note, possibly repeating the process with another note.

Question: why can't you do it in one go? And highlight the matches from the start?

I used to wait to be the very last person to board the plane. I saw no reason to board early and then wait around while everyone else boards. Unfortunately the recent move to charge for checked baggage has made that approach problematic because far more people are bringing full sized carryons, making overhead space precious. However if you have minimal carryons, I'd recommend being the very last person to board--it is far less stressful.

These days, I just don't fly unless I absolutely have to.

Hm, please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Zuker algorithm inherently a dynamic programming algorithm? If so, I would have liked to see this paper compare to directly optimizing the input space using a differentiable form of the Zuker algorithm, e.g., using ideas related to https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.03676.

IMO it's unnatural to rely on deep reinforcement learning when we know so much about the mapping between input space and reward space (here, because Zuker's algorithm is not a black box). To me, deep RL is primarily for the domain where the mapping is highly complex and largely black box. Deep RL might be more useful if the authors didn't use Zuker's approximate algorithm but instead performed molecular simulations to determine secondary structure folding that is more faithful to reality.

I wonder how well the best designed intentional "Kessler weapon" could perform.

Some sort of large rocket that would fly to the right orbit height, and orient itself in a manner to ensure it's shaped charge explosives would send maximal debris (ball bearings of the right size) in directions azimuthal to the planet. How many satellites could you knock out if you really tried?

Quite an optimization problem for the secret skunkworks folks.

Speaking of Ubuntu-based distros with KDE desktop, I recently found a distro called "KDE Neon".

https://neon.kde.org/

Well, actually, they themselves describe KDE Neon as "not quite a distro".

> Is it a distro?

> Not quite, it's a package archive with the latest KDE software on top of a stable base. While we have installable images, unlike full Linux distributions we're only interested in KDE software.

https://neon.kde.org/faq

Anyway, I recently switched my laptop over to KDE Neon after my faithful FreeBSD install broke.

I have previously used KDE-based desktops on Fedora and on openSUSE. (And a lot of other DEs and distros over the years but the point was to speak about KDE.)

For my laptop I have been very satisfied with KDE Neon. Still debating whether or not to run it on my desktop.

Right, and nobody did that.

Just playing devil's advocate here but why would you need to use a map, if not for directions or locating a specific thing? Are you just trying to check out what roads are around? In Apple Maps, if you switch to walking view, you get a closer view with the road names. In driving mode, it makes sense to me that those would be less useful unless I'm navigating.
I started porting my 2D roguelike game to a 2D engine like this one and got so bogged down in lighting difficulties that I gave up and abandoned the project.

I used to work for Google, but not on maps. You can see the zoom level for yourself in the URL. Use the scrollwheel or its trackpad equivalent and the Z parameter in the address bar will change. That's where I got the numbers, not any special knowledge.
And this depends on who "owns" it. If you don't have communal ownership of code, don't make drastic changes without consultation. This is like rearranging someone's kitchen for them "because it's more efficient". It's not, because now they don't know their code anymore (I had this happen to me a few times, I know it needed work but the work done made it harder for me to make other changes later that the "helper" didn't know was planned).

If you'll be the one owning the code, do what you want. If it's not yours, check first.

If you do have communal ownership, coordinate and establish style guides, ideally using tools to establish conformance (rather than eye-balling it, this also leads to greater consistency).

I used Bulma as a way of getting up to speed after a hiatus since circa 2001 when it comes to web stuff. I needed to quickly throw together a company site.

I searched around and Bulma seemed ... "not insane" which was good enough for me. And it is good, and good enough. But I can easily see how you could start fighting against Bulma if you wanted to do much customizing.

If I ever get caught between a rock and a hard place and need to do stuff not easily wrought in Bulma, I will check back on Tailwind.

You make 1 in 1000 sound peachy. Imagine if you had a 1 in 1000 chance of collision every time your 747 crossed the ocean.

In 50 years I hope we are doing 50 space launches a day. At that volume, every single debris item is risk and headache. 10 years later and we've got a full 2,000 golf balls left in orbit? That's a lot. There have actually been casualties to blowing up the FY-1C? That's also significant.

These things get worse as we put more in space. If each explosion takes out on average 1 victim satellite per 5,000 satellites, and generates 1/100th the debris of the original explosion, we've got a cascade at just 500,000 total objects in orbit.

That may seem like a lot compared to the 5,000 we have today, but already we are discovering materials and technologies that are useful which can only be manufactured in free-fall. If orbital manufacturing ever takes off, 500,000 objects in orbit will be nothing.
Thanks. Scrolled through the whole page to see if it’s a new distribution with interesting new tech, or just a desktop spin of something.

Who knows, maybe they enabled some power management or browser hardware acceleration out of the box, which would make it immediately better than most attempts at a Linux general purpose OS. I saw no mention of that, only desktop environment features..

Speaking of which: I’m not too well versed on the state, but isn’t chromeos just a Linux browser with power management and hardware accelerated browsing? Ubuntu and fedora and as far as I’m aware none of the traditional distributions do that, instead they make desktop environments all day. Maybe it’s time for some market analysis?
