Unfortunately I’m not in a situation where I can test that. It’s very possible that that’s the case, but it then leaves the question of why the non-https ycombinator.dev is what we eventually end up on.

It's not a concern. As an average user your only consideration is "Do they keep my passwords safe on the disk?", and the answer is "yes" for all of them.

If you work for the NSA and cover yourself with a tinfoil blanket to enter your passwords, just lock and close the password manager completely after you've used it to login to a service, and you're all good.

I'm not aware of any kind of lens or gear technology being developed during the dark ages. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Renaissance? The dark ages are called that because no one was educated and no one wrote anything down. There's very little recorded history during that time, which is where the name comes from.

If we stop think 5G as a "G" in Generation, and starting thinking it as improved LTE, an evolution rather than what many are trying to spin as revolution. From the point of average consumer is exactly what it is, improved Internet. 2G was about Voice, 3G was Voice + Data, 4G is all about Data. 5G is much improved 4G. Making Data Cheaper.

>>when most carriers aren't running full bandwidth 4G and have significant data

Time and Time again I have seen this everywhere in forums. In Reality is not like Telcos, MNO or Carriers what ever you like to call it, tries to limit your Data Cap. MNO are fundamentally limited by their capacity. There is roughly 10 to 20% YoY increase ( Depending on Nations ) in Mobile Data usage. There is a long tail of users just coming in from 3G to LTE and start enjoying the Mobile Internet. Since their Infrastructure don't improve their capacity 10%+ per year, that is why you have Data Caps and why your Mobile Network isn't getting faster. ( And may in fact be getting slower ).

MNO reframing the 3G spectrum to LTE to help lessen the load, users upgrade to latest Smartphone with better features set to improve network efficiency usage, The faster you finish, the less time you are on the network. Another reason why MNO wants you upgrade to the latest and greatest Smartphone

Once 5G reaches the current stage of 4G, you are likely looking at ~10 to 20x Capacity improvement. ( This is accounting for 128 x 128 Massive MIMO, Small Cell etc ) In theory this gives plenty of room for different MNO to compete, and should lower the price. In the long term, 5G should lower the cost per MB for everybody. That is assuming all else being equal, wages, lease, equipment, etc. In realty those prices are rising as well.

But judging at the current climate we are at least 4 - 5 years away that happening. One being Cell Site infrastructure, despite what AT&T or Verizon wants you to believe, they are far from optimal. It will likely take another year of testing and tuning before widely deployed ( Or to be more precise, Switched on. Since most of the current Cell deployed are software upgradable to support 5G ). Second being 5G Smartphone will be expensive. Everything from Silicon to the Antenna are much more complicated. And as we know technology aren't dropping prices like they are used to. Third is Smartphone replacement cycle are now into 4 years. If you buy an Smartphone in the past 18 months, it wont be until 2022 before you might get a new one. And 5G Smartphone might still be expensive then, which causes delay it for another cycle.

The sound check takes literally a couple of seconds. How did you even have time to try to silence it?
I'd say that the prediction model that they are using basically would end up being the same as Markov chains. So if you just slide through a dasher structure set up with words you'd more or less get the most probable Markov chain output.

Really I started this project before having any idea of the dasher so I'm coming from a bit different angle. My original idea was to make use of trees that are selected step by step, i.e. with discrete movements instead of continuous movement. So basically you'd have a tree that you step down through. The most frequent symbols would appear closer and as such have shorter paths describing them.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/aKl7jUrtcOt8/

As I see it the markov chain:ines is not the intent of the algorithm but rather a byproduct of it.

I only heard of dasher last December, and my mind was blown. It was almost eerie how many things we had approached similarly.

As for the rendering I am proposing I'm in the process of rewriting all my work up until now in nim as a form of advanced procrastination. But I aim at having a prototype up and running quite soon. One thing that could be optimised with in dasher is that some of the letters are not visible at all times. Why is this well, because they are drawn up on a line, so at best you can have sqrt(ww+hh)/font_height letters at a time, given a diagonal approach.

Imagine instead that if we draw the line on the radius of a circle with the radius of w/2. Then we could have (pi*w/2)/font_height letters drawn out along that line at a time.

However if we draw a fractal that more or less traces the same arc, the jagged edges would extend to an infinite surface. Of course we're still limited by resolution. Still the advantage here is that we make use of the 2-dimensional nature of the screen is put to use. From the edges that have no letter a deeper structure furthermore could be extended.

The next advantage of this, where this becomes a synthesis of my more tree like structures, is that the most frequent letters could be placed closer to the cursor/player. As such the velocity on average by which the cursor travels would have to go through would be reduced by quite a lot.

Sounds good in theory in my head. But you can't really be sure until you have it tested in code right.

This will be out within the few coming days.

B.t.w. I'm doing this research on my own, so if there is any interest in participation in any shape or form, be it suggestions, testing or whatever would be greatly appreciated.

It is a matter of degrees really. Someone merely asocial and there to build up experience so they can launch their own pursuit isn't even really a bad thing. That is accepted as a free market fundamental - people need to get funds and experience from somewhere. The 9-5 guy with dreams elsewhere isn't really a problem.

Someone passionate about their work would be better for the company but well perfect being the enemy of the good. Trying to get all "perfect" employees for everything is usually a "juicero" approach in majorly overspeccing for what could be better handled by the common. Just because rocket science and self driving cars need top talent and passion doesn't mean that your IoT waffle-iron company needs fanatics. Not meantcas elitism but "there are places for all kinds of people - and nobody is entitled to them".

To bring the metaphor to a creepy but apt conclusion the AK-47 was legendary for its reliability with imperfect parts and loose specs while being roughly comparable to more expensive and precise rifles prone to issues in harsher environments. There are many valid approaches to things.

Humans are forever attracted to the new and shiny. They are attracted to it so much that they start chasing it before they have it in place to make sure the old new and shiny that they chased two weeks ago isn't going to just disappear.

The example given in the article is "meet your new hires on the first day." This was a new and shiny at one point in time. It's become new and shiny again, because now someone is paying attention to it. But it will soon become old and crufty, and then forgotten, unless one can manage to enshrine it.

Find out where in the organizational vision this insight belongs. The organizational vision is the new and shiny that stays new and shiny, because everyone participates in and contributes to it.

This doesn't just happen. It's the job of upper management to keep the organizational vision alive. If it doesn't, then it gets old and crufty, and then forgotten, like everything else, until someone suddenly wakes up again and says, "hey this would be really cool!"

This applies to personal life as well.

On Android 9, you can do this even more easily:

Adguard functionally operates similar to a Pihole install - it just maintains a DNS-based blacklist. You give them your DNS queries, of course, but in return you get an almost entirely ad-free experience with just one setting.
I ask this in every systemd thread but I genuinely would love a real answer. Can anyone give me exact real-world examples of where systemd is objectively better suited than any number of other init systems?

The fact that I still have yet to see any such examples in the last half a decade seems pretty telling. Wouldn't and shouldn't there be tons of such examples given the rhetoric?
It would be interesting to see how realistic a cat thinks these are, maybe by measuring brain activity or reactions. It's possible that a cat may not be fooled by cats we think look real, or perhaps more interestingly, that a cat is fooled by a not particularly good image.

Common cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests. The chicks don't necessarily look much like the host species to the human eye, but they can fool their hosts along the correct dimensions to get food from them. It's an interesting question to what degree ML algorithms trained on human dimensions could be foiled by an animal whose brain has been wired for different perceptions, or how feasible it is to train an ML algorithm on animal perception, or if it's possible to make an algorithm that successfully fools, say, both man and dog.

On the last point, for example: to make fake sounds that fool animals with different hearing ranges, presumably you have to be able to output sounds across the union of the ranges and train on sound data over the union of the ranges.

(Note: I'm not a biologist, if someone more informed wants to correct me on anything here you are welcome to do so.)

For those who don’t get the title reference: ”[Programming Pattern] Considered Harmful” is a title meme that began in 1968 — over fifty years ago — and still going strong today!

It all started with the famous Edsger Dijkstra paper titled “Go To Statement Considered Harmful” [1], which lead to an endless series of subsequent papers later patterned after its title [2].

I agree with the sentiment that this title pattern is overused currently, to the point of being cliche — with perhaps a bit of presumptuousness as well, due to the implicit suggestion that the author’s claim of “Considered Harmful” will withstand the test of time as well as Dijkstra’s paper (though perhaps I’m reading too much into it, in this case).

> All of your data structures have types ... Static typing just means that you annotate ...

Programs have (static) types, data does not. Static typing removes correct programs from the language. Try this in some ML-like language:

let selfapply f = (f f) in
let identity x = x in
selfapply identity 42

If you transcribe this to (e.g.) Lisp, it will return the number 42. The program is short, simple, and safe, but well-regarded static type systems can't cope.
Does upstart not count as an alternative?
We used to get drunk and debate the merits of the DSM as undergrads. Most of my friends who went on to get their PhDs still see it as a imperfect but necessary evil. As a researcher, you need a common language to discuss what you're researching. There is value to studying one particular group of symptoms vs another; different ones have different treatment guideless, medications, and potentially common biomarkers. But people don't always fit neatly in these boxes, as the article shows. It's entirely possible someday that we'll move past specific labels, but we don't have viable alternatives to the DSM right now.
> Essentially what we define as toxic, he defined as dangerous,

Are we? To me, it seems that what is meant by "toxic" in the article and this comment thread falls on the "COMMANDERS" square. Smart and lazy.

In full honestly, I believe "toxicity" is orthogonal. Dumb "toxic" people are easy to get rid of. Smart "toxic" people are the ones over which a company may agonize.
kinda funny how this GAN picked up the strong presence of cats within early 2010's memes, some of the resulting photos have remnants of the distinctive white-on-black text from some of the training data
Yes absolutely, the countermeasures aren’t produced because the only laser weapons deployed for the last two decades are either giant chemical lasers mounted on 747’s and designed to imtercept ICBM’s, smaller (but still quite large) ground based lasers designed to intercept rockets, or dazzling lasers that haven’t been deployed at all. The former two aren’t used against human targets and would be expensive and unwieldy if you tried. The latter don’t burn anything, they temporarily blind and disorient.

So yes, why would optical countermeasure be produced and deployed against a threat that doesn’t exist? That isn’t to say such countermeasures would be difficult to produce or deploy against a laser in this power range though.
I have recently been labeled a “brilliant jerk” at a FAANG company and threatened with termination. In actuality I now know that I have acted like this (not always but sometimes) and I take ownership of it. In trying to come to terms with it, I’ve been doing a lot of research and I think the research is overly simplistic particularly when it comes to motivation. I am not a psychopath and I am not purely self interested. My motivations have never been money or climbing or anything like that. I’ve wanted to build cool stuff that people say can’t be done but that is also successful. I have always pulled in the direction of the company and not my own (at least in my mind). I have never treated anyone badly simply to treat them badly to make myself feel better or to put them down. I always thought it was best to give people direct and honest feedback. It’s almost never what I was saying that was wrong but how I was saying it. I was too harsh and I ignored emotional data. In trying to be objective, I tried to keep things logical and data based always; I would get upset when people could not follow a logical line of thought. I often used, in a modified way, the Socratic method to show someone that their argument was wrong. This led people to feel I was disrespectful to them because it would force a contradiction. By doing this, I meant to teach them but I was wrong; it simply made people feel foolish. I ignored the emotional side of things and that’s a big problem for me. It’s also not true that I would never concede I was wrong. You just had to have a really strong case.

Up until now this has also “worked” as it’s gotten things done on time. In one case, my work saved a product line that would have failed entirely. It took a lot of courage to stick my neck out and said we had to change direction. The change in direction meant abandoning something I had spent a year designing. Nobody wanted to abandon that work and shift. It was the right thing to do though. I took a huge amount risk and flack at the time and probably was almost fired. So there is good and bad to this. I am working to change but something is going to get lost. I probably won’t stick my neck out like that again.

I am also human. I make mistakes too and I’m trying to learn from all this.
It has been a great choice. I've incorporated companies in multiple countries before, and Estonia has been by far the best. Easy, unbureaucratic, extremely competent, they speak great English and are always very pro-active and helpful. We work with the guys from LeapIN and it has been a great and pleasant experience since day 0.
I wish researchers were using these examples to further understand what this network does, how it fails and what are its fundamental limitations. However, such digging would undermine the hype, so I'm not particularly hopeful. Most of the issues are just written off as kinks to be ironed out.

Another thing that really bothers me is that no one tries to replicate any of these results without neural networks[1]. To most people here this is the natural result of deep neural networks being the bestest algorithm ever. To me, this indicates that much of the current ML research fails to generate true insight.

>Having recently moved to Florida from Sweden, I was shocked at how biker/pedestrian hostile it is here.

Sorry if this sounds rude, but this was a surprise to you? I thought everyone in Europe realized how bicycle/pedestrial-hostile US cities are. Did you not come here first to check things out before committing to a cross-Atlantic move?

And seriously, Sweden is one of the top countries on the quality-of-life indices. The US is definitely not. Why would you leave there to come here? That's like me leaving the US and moving to El Salvador, thinking it'll somehow be nicer. (This is a valid comparison: compare the murder rates of Sweden vs. US to US vs. El Salvador.)
> This provides a far more general model of concurrency than something like the Actor model

It doesn't. Actor model is as general as it gets for concurrency. Any constraint only makes it less general.
Woops what an embarrassing typo sorry about that.

Well imagine if you would like to draw as many intervals of any given shape but with the same length on a line.

Let's start out with a line. Then you can only have so many symbols given by the height.

To continue if we instead where to space them out over the circumference of a circle, we would on the same width have more symbols.

If we go even further and give the circle jagged edges that go in and out. Theoretically we have an infinite length on the line, but resolution on screen and eyes sets an stop to that.

So basically making use of the area of the screen instead of only a line.

Did I make more sense to you? The fractal thingy is just an experiment and not the main point of the comment so I gave a very brief description of it. It may very well be that my capabilities of describing it in proper mathematical is a bit lacking.

Will have a demo of it within a few days or so if you are interested keep your eyes open.
systemd can be used without most of these things. systemd as a project has other services in but those you can use or not use.

And the claim that they are 'inferior solutions' is just absolutely false in most cases. It often replaced horrible old tools that haven't been updated in 30 years. It often provides far better interfaces and tooling then the existing solutions.
> All useEffect and useState does is turn pure functions into mud that reads like a class but drops all the syntactic sugar that makes it readible.

You've nailed it. Their solution to the issues with certain JS OO features was to re-implement Objects minus the features that were a problem, with new syntax. The code's worth a read for anyone who's read how the feature works and is still thinking "no, surely they didn't, it must work some other, magical way".

I don't like them when they aren't adjacent to the main lane. You end up outside the zone where drivers are looking for fast vehicles.

An improved shoulder wide enough to not have storm drains or debris to deal with is ideal. You can enter the roadway proper as needed to take the lane or prepare for turns like every other vehicle. You don't get abuse from ignorant drivers who expect you to stay in your designated space.

The current traffic system is the best known way to share the roadways among different types of vehicles, all subject to the same rules. Trying to construct a set of grids for different types of vehicles which interact at certain points is silly, consider what happens when new types of vehicles come into being, like electric scooters, are you going to construct yet another "independent" grid for them?
