I mean, Shores of Hazeron is a 10+ year old game at this point. You can't, with any shred of genuineness, actually compare the graphics between it and Star Citizen. Same with Star Sonata (it's really not that hard to scroll up and actually be respectful and use the name of the game instead of belittling it to a "2D game") which is almost 15 years old now.

Of course the graphics of S:C are going to be more complex. But that says nothing about the underlying technology, which you claimed is so incredibly groundbreaking but were immediately disproven by other games managing the exact same thing a decade ago.

It's really not as insurmountable of a challenge as you make it seem to support prettier graphics on the same technologies used 10+ years ago with the massive CPU and GPU upgrades we've had in the last decade.
That's beautiful. And I thought I was lucky to live in the hills above a river that usually has a trail of thick fog hugging it in the Fall and Spring.

And that's just the engine. Gta IV already had a framework in place for "telling gta stories" so, even if they had a off the shelf game engine, se would still be making a "game" from scratch. Gta v probably tweaked most everything from iv beyond recognition - but they kinda started from a working game, and made another game.
Yeah PUBG has 400k players on steam, down from 1.5M at peak. Not bad at all considering nowadays most games last a year or two at most before they decline quickly...except the evergreen ones like Counterstrike and League/Dota

> Price-averse? There are people literally throwing (digital) money at streamers just for fun, or to troll them, or to get their message announced on stream, or any number of random antics a streamer sets up.

The magic of twitch (and league of legends, and a few more) is that this is indeed a very price-sensitive crowd, but one that is willing to engage in a steady stream of frequent capex-style microtransactions while refusing to touch opex/subscription-based models.
Why not browse in incognito, so the cookies clear out when you close the window?
It's all relative. Gamers are a heck of a lot more price averse than corporations, and the same person is more likely to spend money on a service that helps his/her business than one used for video games.
Couldn’t the government do the same for other kinds of vice (drugs, prostitution)? They could permit activities to the level where you get a power law kind of trade-off between consumption and risk from consumption so as to monitor and educate participants over a long period of time (more than 80/20 for behaviour with more detrimental outcomes). You also get the benefit to study the behaviour and figure out how it works in order to have truly effective solutions through repeated experiments etc.

waaat...

1. Marriage exists because it's a religious ceremony in pretty much every religion since man started talking.

2. The government got involved and provides a non-religious marriage.

3. this has nothing to do with religion

4. government marriage was defined and commonly understood to be a partnership between a man and a woman. this needed to be redefined, as any government thing does.

?? you are completely wrong
6. Profit for me. My taxes are a lot less after I got married (wife makes less), and will be even higher discounted if we have kids.

Getting married is not speech - it's a government status with limitations and rules, which needed to be updated and did. Getting married religiously is protected speech, and no one ever prevented anyone from doing that - man+man or man+dog. we had civil unions, and most had the same rights as marriage, for gay people. they didn't like that and redefined a dictionary and legal meaning of a word. who cares. let's redefine straight as inclusive of gay also just like a woman can now be born w/ a dick. I personally don't care. crazies do crazy stuff - effects me zero - I know my language and my world.

the truth, dear sir, is exactly opposite of what who wrote.

We had ventrilo and TeamSpeak but mostly used Skype for a small group from a clan.

It's harder earlier in career, but the guy I interviewed (mentioned in separate comment) successfully did it as his first job (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...). He was:

1. Existing employee, so he was valuable to them, and had proven he could work shorter hours since he'd been there part-time initially when he was in university.

2. Willing to quit. In fact, what actually happened is he said "I quit", they said "but we don't want you to quit" and he said "how about 4 day workweek".

This is not a very reproducible method, but I've interviewed another person (for my book - https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/) who was somewhat early in his career. Again, he did it at his current job, with willingness to leave if necessary.
That sounds weirdly related to the REC movies from Spain. REC and REC 2 particularly. (Highly recommended horror/terror)
Okay, sure, as long as you're not trying to say this contradicts the post. "A resistor" was just an example of how you could waste the power and not get much heat.
"it would be the most boring place on the whole planet to land."

Would it? Wouldn't the ice preserve certain things (e.g. any microorganisms which might have lived there) better than if they were left out in the open?
>The analogous problem for you would be that you couldn't maintain your electric heat ray (or whatever) for a time equal to or greater than the time you spent collecting.

Yes, yes I can. 1000 solar panels (200 watts each) will power a an electric arc welder up to 20,000 C continuously for as along as the sun shines in the sky.

There is nothing here that collects energy across time, all energy is immediately imparted onto the electric arc.
Wait, I had anemia all my life and I thought this was bad. Does this mean I'm actually healthy now?

There's a reason enrichment of foods is illegal in most of Europe.
Typical marketing bullshit.

The definition of 5G is steered by a globally recognized technical authority, and when they issue press releases[1] which are in turn reissued by media agencies informing the general public of what to expect, AT&T doesn't do anyone other than themselves a favor by introducing "5Ge" marketing bullshit knowing very well that average Joe User will simply dismiss the deemphasized "e", and doesn't have the technical means of independent verification in any case.

The problem is AT&T wants to have their cake and eat it too: they're trying to normalize an ignorant public to 4G tech by obfuscating the market with a false perception that their networks are on the bleeding edge of standards integration. Through my eyes, the confusion such practices illicit are not unlike the damage caused by trademark infringement.

I don't think this would help a ton in tech. The people that get burned out the hardest can't stop thinking about work if they're on the clock or not. They'll just have another day to stress about not getting stuff done or how much more they'll have to do when they get back.

I don't know enough about physics to judge whether Randall's argument is correct, but in general it is possible for a sequence to be strictly increasing yet bounded.

"Collaboration and access to great minds" comes from influence. As does the opportunity to shape postdocs and graduate students - the generation of future faculty you're talking about.
Controlled by Facebook? Why not just throw a ledger onto a relational database. Surely they trust their own servers.
It reminds me of the days of CDROM speeds: 2X, 3X, 4X, etc. At one point the number before the X was related to the device’s actual data throughput, until the marketers took over, and they changed what it meant, and then it just turned into a number arms race. I think I remember seeing something labeled 72X.

Most customers don’t know what a G is or why he wants 4 or 5 of them. They think a “bar” is a unit of signal strength measurement. Since there is no regulatory reason to be truthful, it’s inevitable that companies are going to start inflating the numbers.
A significant percentage of people are living comfortably up to an age of 70 or more even in the poor nations. I think this focus on marginal effects is not going to cut it any longer.

How about focusing on air pollution, which is the likely emerging leading carcinogen in developing countries?
I also use Steam to buy games but unless Discord lands some super good unique tripleA names, I don't see many people moving away from Steam...even considering that there are other games marketplaces popping up left and right.
People find it hard to stay committed again. It’s becoming a thing. Getting information & data you need is quite not a big deal. Sometimes the truth needs to be unveiled by whatsoever means necessary.The latter of the case should always be reckoned with, of which it would be known eventually what would be the data at hand afterwards. definitely(BOBHACKER911•(<@>)• GMA;|) would do justice on this intercepting with wares. All will be well.
You can't focus light from a single source with just magnifying glasses at different positions onto the same point. You can try it with the sun, get two magnifying glasses and try to focus them on the same point at once, it's not possible.

With the addition of some well placed mirrors though, that's possible.
https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/issues/88 mentions a "pre-trained model named librispeech-glu-highdropout.bin", but I couldn't find it anywhere.

https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/issues/93 also mentions a pre-trained model but without any reference which one or where to find it.

Googling "librispeech-glu-highdropout.bin" still shows the text "luajit ~/wav2letter/test.lua ~/librispeech-glu-highdropout.bin -progress -show -test dev-clean -save -datadir ~/librispeech-proc/ -dictdir ~/librispeech-proc/ -gfsai ..." for https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/blob/master/R..., but clicking it, it's gone.

But the Google Cache still has the result, including 3 pre-trained models:

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/wav2letter/models/librispeech-glu-highdropout.bin
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/wav2letter/models/librispeech-glu-highdropout-cpu.bin
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/wav2letter/models/librispeech-glu-lowdropout.bin

The cache also includes a much more detailed README on how to use the software.

I first discovered Cooper through his song Resynthesis[1]. I'm not very much familiar with electronic music but really like his records. His frequent collaborations with Rob Clouth[2] are also great.

I had a ton of fun remaking Resynthesis when I was first learning to use reaper using free VSTs.

If you surround the penny with sun with no gaps, all the light hits the penny.

If you add more sun, you add gaps, and the amount of light hitting the penny stays constant.

It never has more than one penny-surface-area of light hitting it, so it never has to get hotter than the sun.
Doing the math out loud:

Worth $1.65B April 19th, worth $1.85B December 19th (+$150MM in new money, for a post-money of $2B ignoring rounding, options pool expanding and preferences).

So their value grew ~12% in 8 months.
That is what confuses me. It is a widespread issue in the industry, but somehow Facebook is getting singled out for it. And the particular integrations in question were disabled years ago.
Totally agree - it's hard to say which sequence architecture works best for your problem (are there long term dependencies, do they exist at multiple levels of scale, etc) and dataset size.

Convolutions are cheap to compute and can be more efficient on smaller data but it's also possible that a CNN outperforms when you have a small dataset and an RNN when you have a larger dataset.

I would think twice about hiring someone if their previous place of work was a scam company, at least because it tells me something about that person's ethical compass.
I would be interested in suing them if they have a page up for me. How do I tell if they do?

Please don't submit job posts as stories. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

A "Who Is Hiring" thread appears on the first weekday of each month, and can be found at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring afterward. You post your job as a comment in that thread. Please read the instructions at the top and take a look at some of the other posts to get an idea of the conventions. These threads become closed to new comments after two weeks.

One important point is that you have to personally be part of the hiring company in order to post. Third-party recruiters and job boards aren't allowed.

Wow, that's pretty wild, I figured they would be pretty common. I probably would never sell it anyway, but maybe it'll be worth even more by the time the game actually comes out. lol
"...something that truly benefits ticket-buyers: by nudging people to save more or, even, to engage in safer sex."

Whoa. I guess poor people should not be allowed to participate in the joys of family and child raising. How did this get by editorial?

Edit: at the end of the article, the author links sex to health. I apologize, I didn't make it that far. Would have been better to say heath education in the earlier statement...
Edge cases always look bad, a 1% drop in signal quality can result in a dropped call, but is only significant in some areas. Though it looks really bad in those areas.

The reception at my parents house is horrible and I have needed to hold several cellphones in very specific ways for them to work there. This is going back to flip phones though the number of locations phones work has been improving over time.
>>> While the state lotteries in the United States don’t achieve those particular goals, they already do some good. Roughly 40 percent of the lottery income is used to finance education, environmental protection and other causes.

That's dubious, because money is fungible. In my home state, lottery money "for education" was matched by a reduction in money for education from the state's general fund.

When you said personal journal my thought was, this isn't a journal but it is a personal log. It's not like me or any other users can see it.

I definitely want to move in the direction of users logging partners on their own, and clinicians sending out the alerts but don't know how to tackle that part so Im starting with user inputs since thats fairly straightforward.

Why are you so accepting of it in the context of a healthcare system but not so much when its outside of that? Isn't a registry a registry no matter how slice it? And what features or safeguards would make you more comfortable with it outside of a healthcare system?

BTW I really appreciate you letting me pick your brain.
Google already has offices in Austin and Ann Arbor.

On the scale of things academics are pretty cheap so they can afford to have lots of offices and cover the top 20 schools. Really they should have one in New Haven as well.

The prestige thing is not as important (I believe). For instance they had offices in Austin and Ann Arbor before Princeton NJ.

The prestige thing is only important for client facing roles (McKinsey or Goldman want to assure the money people that they are in good hands).
We also assume access to arbitrarily long spaghetti and ignore concerns like relativistic effects or free breaking length.
More or less, with the very big caveat that the specific terms of the deal means it's almost never actually a straight exchange of money for share of equity.

You've crossed into incivility in this thread. Please stop.

Believe me I know what it's like when it feels like you're right and everyone else is wrong and ganging up on you, but the only thing that works in this situation is to remembe that it's just the internet and let it go.

Yes, exactly. Morrowind isn't a Chosen One narrative, it's a subversion of and critique of Chosen One narratives. The self-fulfilling nature of prophecy is a major theme of the game. Skyrim is the first game in the series where the player character is unambiguously a prophesied hero by right of birth. (Oblivion is interesting in that it does have a Chosen One, but you end up playing his sidekick.)
I daily use the exact same setup for all three, but with the Android equivalent.

...so it's not like this app is unheard of, per this thread's parent comment.
Super odd that they didn't include it haha
Because the alternative is for every single OEM to reimplement this on their own, probably in a worse way. Everyone (including Apple, who have far more leverage over carriers) is basically forced to comply with the carriers here, so there's really no other option.
I've found discord to be a very reasonable alternative to slack and I think their branding as a 'gaming service' is more of an effort to carve out a niche than related to functionality. It actually works pretty well as a generic chat / collaboration tool.
Some manufacturers have things like "WiFi+" (Huawei) which performs regular speed tests and saves regular location data to estimate the end-user speeds.

You can also turn on some developer settings; e.g. mobile data always on (even with WiFi turned on).

Can't say if Apple got this right.
I don't think it could remain above the source temperature in equilibrium, because it will radiate back toward the source!
I think there's a missing point: the convenience factor.

Earlier this week, I went and set up a certificate of deposit. It took half an hour, making arrangements to visit on the rare day their hours didn't clash with mine, presenting two forms of identification, and having a significant amount of money to contribute to the account at once.

I also bought a Powerball ticket the same day, which was a $3 commitment and took 20 seconds at the all-night Kwik-e-mart I was already visiting.

Yeah, people keep coming up with various gimmicks (apps, automatic transfers, rounding up your purchases) to encourage saving, but that still targets an audience fairly high up the curve-- people with savings accounts or at least bank relationships already.

If you made a product reminiscent of the UK Premium Bonds, made them a bearer instrument (to minimize friction in purchase, no account or KYC stuff needed), and sold them in every store that offered Lotto tickets, you'd have a product which could get a lot of people onto the savings bandwagon. You've got $10 to put away? You're undocumented? You're 12? No bank will touch you, but you can start squirreling away these bonds, and in a few years, have a nice little nest egg, even if none of them pay out.
I think the point is if one company is making outrageous profits it’s trivial for a competitor to undercut them. The food industry for example rarely makes more than 2% in profit because it is so competitive.

Vouched. If we're going to talk about Blind of all things (and the kinds of sentiments it reveals, incites, or amplifies) we can't bury those perspectives.

Sure I'd rather keep most of HN clean of vitriol, but a thread about it? We need to challenge, understand, and dissect these perspectives, not disregard them.
I'm in the Seattle area. Every year in late spring, the cottonwood trees start emitting huge quantities of seeds attached to fluffy "cotton". It gathers in drifts on the road. The fluff is light enough to be tossed about by small eddy currents in the air, so you can see how house walls, arbors, fences, small trees affect the air movement. Fascinating, and something I look forward to yearly.
Daggerfall, on the other hand, was not at all gracefully designed to handle that. It was way, way too easy to accidentally derail the main plot.
Discord isn't owned by Microsoft, everyone uses it, and it runs in my browser.

That's more than enough reason to never touch the flaming pile of shit that Skype is today, thanks to corporate development strategies and bloat.
Yeah, I think it kind of is. I was 10 when BG2 came out, and that’s when I first played it too. It would have taken me far longer to understand what to do in all the quests, and how to be effective in combat, than any adult. I loved that I could just enjoy playing it slowly.

I remember loving the original Fallout, until it basically said “you didn’t find the water chip in time! Goodbye!”

Exactly the same story with Commandos 2 vs Commandos 3.
