Phones aren't solved because we keep reinventing what a 'phone' is. The phone was solved 100 years ago, then we decided people should do their own dialing. Now we are at the point where a smartphone isn't really a phone anymore.

I can think of a few improvements to phones as well. Make them smaller, and add a headphone jack, sd card reader and removable battery....

There's probably some good books on the subject that I can't remember right now, I think that design in the large, has a good amount out evolution to it, I mean that in the proper biological sense. It finds one, or a few local maxima, but needs really shaking up to 'progress' from there. We have found the local maxima in the smartphone space, but then Stove Jebs will come along with a voice activated communicator that you wear on your chest, and we'll start again.
This looks awesome! I don't have any pressing need to develop on the desktop right now, but if and when we do, I've bookmarked Hover.
By "eval" you can also mean the training subset. As I understood is at the code to evaluate the network at a given point with a given dataset. For instance, after epoch epoch, the model is evaluated for both training and validation (you see both losses)

As you said, the test subset should only be used at the very last.

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output. The standard terms for these programs in the computability theory and computer science literature are "self-replicating programs", "self-reproducing programs", and "self-copying programs".

So it's a self-replicating game of snake? Sounds very much like a worm virus. Very nice project though!

Maybe Samsung needs to take another look at Apple.

You don't need to be first, Apple has repeatedly claimed to have the first of its kind but it was always just a clever rebrand of an existing technology. Sure somethings they did do first but sometimes it takes Apple years to adopt something and they will still claim they did it first.

I actually don't care who does it first. Its who does it best that matters.

> The negative spin would be: how to spend a lot of effort to solve a problem you would never have if you didn't use rust.

I can't totally disagree, I sometimes had this feeling during the implementation.

Contrary to other languages, you can't always choose your trade-offs: memory-safety is in practice almost non-negotiable in Rust (you can use unsafe code locally, but you won't implement the whole application in unsafe), so everything else has to adapt. For example, in another language, I probably would have kept slice+stride to avoid many refactors.

In the end, I am quite happy with the tiling structures API, but a lot of work (and [boilerplate](https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/tree/f1c43dbdc52016f67ecf33383...) was necessary to implement them.
What about WhatsApp? Virtually no one in my country--not even the elderly, who now broadly use the app as well--is willing to abandon it, no matter how its parent company is depicted. In fact, last time I checked, around 75% of all population use the app. I don't, and thus I'm paying the price socially--mentally, I'm better off; it comes without saying.
Patent litigation is complex and expensive. Also, often a lot of innovations are still patent pending due to the time it takes to get them registered.

It would be a short article. There's really no reliable data.
This is correct, raising taxes would increase demand for dollars. Supply is greater than the tax demand, but much of the additional demand comes from the tax in dollars requirement. Since businesses have to pay sales tax in dollars, they're inclined to only accept dollars to avoid complex accounting and exchange rate liability. Being able to transact with US businesses is a large source of dollar demand.

It's also worth pointing out that income doesn't always translate to inflows of physical dollars. Complex corporate accounting standards often result in recognizing revenue before any cash is received, and non-cash transactions that affect income.

I think the main difference is that Samsung is primarily a hardware company. Their phones are showcases of what they can do with screens, sensors etc.. Once they have shown that, companies like Apple will buy said screens from Samsung.

And that's the real problem with HN discussions!

HN already boosts comments from high-karma users. Then people like yourself come in, see them and boost them further because of the poster rather than the content, so the top of every discussion is perpetually filled with the same names.

If anything, a good experiment would be to obscure the usernames and then see if "good commenters" still get the same share of votes - this time based on the actual contents rather than their glorious posting history. It this happens to be true, bring back the usernames. If not, then see how to remedy this.
How has AWS added a paywall? They charged you for hosting ElasticSearch on their infrastructure and their management, yet there was no difference in the software.

When they decided to implement features that were only available in the proprietary version of ElasticSearch, they open sourced it.

Charging for infrastructure and management of said infrastructure is not the same as placing a paywall on software.

Principles and Techniques of Data Science
Camera companies have been competing on ISO/gain performance and dynamic range for as long as they've existed. It has little or nothing to do with skin color. There are plenty of motivations for delivering high ISO and good dynamic range beyond capturing skin colors.

The idea that it was furniture companies and chocolate vendors that drove this development is absurd, that is probably just Kodak sales pitches backfiring on them 50 years later. Anyone that wanted to take a photo of a white person, let alone any subject, in a slightly darker environment wanted the same thing.

Or for an even better way to look at it: if you can photograph fast moving subjects twice as well, you can also photograph subjects twice as dark. Again, this is something everyone that uses a camera wants, independent of race.

As for HDR: it is only relatively recently that digital sensors have started outperforming film's dynamic range, which was pretty good for a very long time. Digital camera vendors absolutely had massive financial incentive to fix this deficit. When they started to even come close, that's when the market exploded for movie production, and probably a lot of other commercial applications as well.
Once a probationary period has been completed (usually about 2 months in most companies) a month's notice on both sides is usually the bare minimum for someone in Full Time Employment in a non trivial job in the UK. after some length of service (in the order of 5 or 10 years) that can increase to 3 or more years. Of course the employer can opt to just pay your that notice period and say farewell if you are judged a security risk, and even with this notice period in place a UK firm cannot simply "fire" you because of trivial reasons (like you manager has a hangover and doesn't like your chirpy attitude that particular day) it has to go through a process - with exceptions for gross misconduct but they are usually explicity laid out in a contract and can be validated/overturned by industrial tribunal
There is complacency among the exchanges though. You really believe all that volume and price action is legitimate? Exchanges want tether to be worth what they say it’s worth, 1 USD. The alternative is a massive crash in tether and therefore bitcoin price therefore altcoins price therefore profit (trading fees) for exchanges. The scam can go on much longer than you/anyone can imagine.
True. So maybe skin darkening would be more practical than CV Dazzle, because it wouldn't be so unusual. Horrible legacy and PR, though.

Anyway, I suspect that was an evolutionary advantage. For hunting in forest and savannah, to hide in shadows. The human rootstock was black, I gather. And lighter skin evolved where soft UV was limiting for vitamin D synthesis.

But that's solvable with the right technology. Maybe something like getting overall color value, and then tweaking color contrast. If we can do it in astronomy, we can do it with people.

Plenty of people get by on $27,000 a year, which is the same as earning $30,000 a year and giving 10%. I myself did this for many years before becoming rich. I'm not saying you should do this or anyone should, but it's not impossibly hard for everyone. $30K a year puts someone in the top 1% of earners worldwide. Giving $3K of that to charity can be a drag, but the benefit to someone earning $300 a year in Africa is way larger.
Data 8: Foundations of Data Science
Ask HN: Is Tesla actually using customer data for training?
I've read many times something along the lines of "Tesla has an advantage in autonomous cars because they have the data of thousands of customers, which implies millions of miles".

However, I can't find any source detailing whether Tesla is actually using customer data for training (and not only for debugging).

If so, where does the computation happen? Locally? Then, are Tesla chips ready for training? Did they mention that when unveiling FSD hardware)? How do they sync/integrate/debug that data/training? Otherwise, if the training is done at Tesla, how they transfer gigabytes of data?

Also, wouldn't that be a perfect case for imitation learning?

And is it legal to use customer data that way?

Is it possible that FSD is "secretly" ready for training?

Thanks!

Following Noether's theorem conservation of momentum relies on translational symmetry of space which we assume but have no proof for (other than measurements of conservation of momentum). In so far it is theory territory.

Thermodynamics on the other hand relies only on effects of large numbers (of hard balls) with no further assumptions. In so far I can understand the GP assertion although I am reluctant. You put in the hard ball assumption (particles can exchange energy) which may put it in theory territory. As well the laws hold only for equilibrium situations which can be reached in (sufficiently dense) baryonic matter but maybe not for non-baryonic matter.
The OSHW community has every right to distribute crap schematics, but it isn't immune to criticism.

For the record, I haven't opened an Amazon box of my own purchase since 2016 (dropped that like a bad habit after 10 years of Prime patronage), although I'm admittedly failing to see what the relevance of Amazon and China have to do with this discussion. I don't contribute to the OSHW movement because, quite frankly, if I can't buy the custom hardware solution I need, I'll design it myself.
Well, unlike other lowly developers, FB engineers know exactly what is and isn't the right kind of mistake to make in pursuit of a company's vision.

Someone who works at FB even came out and said so:

"Remember, what Facebook is doing has never been done before. There are going to be mistakes."

So yeah, I think what that person is saying should be translated as:

This sounds pretty much what I described in http://www.mos6581.org/git_subtree_alternative. This solution splits your changes between different branches at the time of commit, instead of afterwards like git-subtree does.

While I do present a proof-of-concept implementation using hooks, a proper implementation would require some changes to the git client, I imagine.
Sure, but that's a bit like arguing that you don't need 'scope' for your variables and you can just prepend the function name (or multiple nested function names). Or that you don't need modules but can just put all your code in one file.

At the very least support of nesting is a huge convenience, but in practice I've also found that it saves me from all sorts mistakes, whether it's because I'm being stupid, or refactoring things.

That said, overusing nested selectors can be a problem too. I generally try to limit myself to two levels of nesting (component -> element), and then a third for pseudo-classes (:hover, :selected, etc.) and pseudo-elements (:before, etc.).

I have to agree. Here in the UK, Huawei regularly advertise on TV now (often just after a Samsung ad!), and the name "Xiaomi" is becoming more recognised.

Aside from brand recognition, they make some great devices that are cheaper than those from Samsung and Apple.

When it comes time to replace my S7, I'll certainly be looking seriously at Huawei and Xiaomi.

Nah, there's quite a bit.

However, saying that the Myers-Briggs is the worst personality test available is a little bit like saying the Holocaust was the worst genocide ever. It's true, but that doesn't mean that the others were good.

In general, personality psychometrics is a pretty difficult field to work in. We don't have another source of data for personality, and as such, it's difficult to measure constructs appropriately.

Additionally, modern psychometric methods like IRT work best for tests where the answer is known, and so without another source of evidence, personality psychometrics is a very difficult field.

Finally, the "supported" model in psychology, the Five Factor Model is potentially not robust. The issue is that the authors refuse to use confirmatory factor analysis on their model, and invent new methods (procrustean rotation) to justify their particular choice of constructs.

When these analyses were done by others and suggested that their model was incorrect, they huffed and puffed their way through the ensuing academic catfight in the journals.

tl;dr myers briggs bad, nothing else is much better.

Future Proofed Cryptographic Hashes
I studied in the UK and it was a BSc degree. Industrial Design should be engineering lead, if it isn't then it's Three Dimensional Design or Product Design. I studied it back in the early 90's, so it's not a new thing. I firmly believe that you cannot design something if you don't understand how it works or how it will be made. Design isn't about aesthetics - it's about solving problems, after all engineers design solutions.

The cliche is "make it work, make it correct, make it fast" but one of the unstated complications is that making something faster without stopping it working correctly can be hard. (Even more so if the output isn't deterministic so you can't directly compare the outputs of the slow and fast approach).

The proof of this pudding is whether later developments are sped up or slowed by this work.

The progress in speed and quality that rav1e makes versus AV1-SVT (which explicitly uses C to attract a wider developer audience) might be interesting to compare, though of course the level of resources that Intel/Netflix/Mozilla and the open source community put into each will be a complicating factor.
I still can't believe it's legal to detain people for so long without a trial.

I think you got the damn point!
I can see both sides of the argument here. On the one hand Amazon are just using open source literally as the license allows. But on the other hand it does feel a little underhanded that Amazon can incorporate these projects into their portfolio as their own and make large amounts of money from it while not giving anything back to the community.

Maybe there needs to be a new software license. One that allows for commercial use when the project is included as a module or infrastructure but excludes it from being billed separately. So you can use an open source component as a language library, shared object / DLL or even stand alone daemon / service installed as part of your web application (for example) but you cannot make that open source project a product in its own right. Obviously a lawyer would need to write the terms rather than an engineer like myself but I wonder if that kind of software license would offer a happy middle ground?
