Pseudo-Lidar: Bridging the Gap in 3D Object Detection for Autonomous Driving
Baffling. The amount of people in the world who can meaningfully reproduce, and hear the difference in, "better than CD quality" digital audio is minuscule (and doesn't include me, I'm happy to admit!). Is TIDAL's "masters" tier really that much of a money spinner? Last I checked, TIDAL as a whole was in the red.
I would have done the same thing.

It doesn't mean there is a law granting us permission to do so, which was the part of the comment I replied to that I took issue with.

Its just something that is gray and we have to do when we need to.

It is the same logic as the, "I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by 6" crowd, interestingly.

I can't stand slatestarcodex or lesswrong. They're not INTP but try really hard to be.

Exactly. Does anyone know what are the difficulties to provide a pleasant experience for Inkscape on Mac? Gimp looks decent. With Inkscape I wouldn't need anything else, really. Both are amazing.
I agree, laser printers these days are an interesting option to consider (one advantage he didn't mention is the speed of printing, which makes life significantly easier when you often have to print large stacks of documents)

However, what I don't like is his treatment of colour printers. He somehow concludes that the only use-case for consumers to print in colour would be photos and then goes on that printing photos at home produces crappy results, so you shouldn't do it anyway. Therefore, consumers do not need to print in colour. QED.

I'm always wary of "tell me one reason you're gonna use it for" type arguments, where the asker then goes on to treat the answer as an exhaustive list of use-cases. Only because I cannot think of a use-case in that very moment does not mean a use-case doesn't exist.

For colours, additional use-cases would be colour-coded diagrams or documents that for various reasons, you just want to look pretty.
Indeed, one of the most prolific of all synthesists has even established himself as a leader on this particular topic - using ML techniques to create FM patches. And, it is simply bloody awesome:

It's also worth nothing that these days there are many LED printers, which use the same kind of tech as laser printers, but substitute expensive lasers with LEDs. They typically have a bit lower DPI, but are also significantly cheaper while still keeping cost-per-page down.

My OKI color LED printer cost about 150$ and has network printing support, duplex unit and contains pretty large toners.
By "hard refresh" I took that to mean using the keyboard to forcibly reload the page and all assets, e.g. CTRL-F5 on Windows. Of course, the average user probably doesn't use keyboard commands, or even know this one exists.
And powerlifters lift more weight than weightlifters.
Slightly off topic. I just added a link in that Wikipedia entry to the the Phone_connector_(audio) entry at the first occurrence of phone jack because I'd never seem that connector referred to by that exact phrase.

Back to the topic at hand. I've played with software gizmos, and recently picked up three secondhand units from the Korg Volca range. I'm not particularly musically talented, trying to change that over time, I find the physical controls way way way more intuitive.
Also doesn't work using Brave on Android. Which is unexpected, since it's now based on Chromium.
Berlin does it. On paper. You need a permit, which you are unlikely to get to rent out a complete apartment (or more then 50% of your place).

The same law also states that a flat cannot go unrented for longer than 3 months. You would also need a permit here.

As far as I understood it, the problem here is enforcement/execution, which is basically Berlins root problem.
Hijacking CTRL-F drives me nuts!

I really think this should result in a permissions dialog from the browser.

But it's still forbidden. In Spain it's the same but the rule you learn is "always on the right, except when you're going faster than the cars on the right". And you can't overtake a car when you're on the right, it is only allowed when you're on the left. But there's a lack of enforcement as it is also sometimes difficult to know when someone is breaking that rule.

No, i don't buy this. The world has a way of forcing people to face realities. It is just that they willfully turn themselves away from the cold hard fact and rely on "enablers" in the society to look the other way and help them "save face". Social norms and Diplomacy also play into this. As long as it is contained and doesn't have major repercussions we can overlook it. But when it becomes chronic and leads to self-harm we should speak up.
Getting rid of scholarships that differentiate on gender, race, or religion on a national level would be a nice improvement to society. I suspect however that such change has very little political support.
Which is why companies shouldn't use it to base employees salaries on (GitLab I'm looking at you).
I can't help but think that this was made possible by the complete collapse in common UI standards. 'Apps' have stopped being OS-toolkit apps and moved onto the web, and of course each designer needs to have their own special on-brand widget style. This has leaked onto the few remaining desktop apps: Chrome rejects the standard Mac OS widgets and reimplements everything, from buttons to the print dialog. Spotify does its own thing. And lest we think Apple has much respect for UX, iTunes is a mess. I genuinely can't use it.

The result is that users have been trained not to expect consistent UI paradigms. Every UI is hunt-and-peck. And that paves the way for this kind of exploit.

Managing Complexity
As a fellow European with experience driving in California (who prefers driving in the right-most lane), I believe it boils down to a few ways in which CA freeways are different to those in Europe:

- posted speed limits fairly low (typically 65mph)
- *much* higher traffic volume
- traffic consisting of ~95% cars
- left-lane freeway ramps
- ramps usually merging directly into the freeway (mentioned by another comment here)

A combination of these factors results in all lanes moving at roughly the same speed (a few mph above the posted limit), which may feel bizarre to a European driver, but certainly improves traffic flow in this specific scenario.

In general, freeways are windy (similar to most European 'dual carriageways'), which requires low speed limits, which reduces throughput. Since the traffic volume is very high, to increase throughput left-lane ramps and ramps merging directly into the freeway are introduced, which may cause occasional hiccups, but on average works well. Since the vast majority of vehicles are cars, all travelling at roughly the same speed, the highest throughput can be achieved by fully occupying all lanes.

There was an interesting related discussion on HN on a few occasions about the best way to utilise escalators at metro stations - see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10916704
In high school I replicated the entire login UI of NT LAN manager (I think it was called) and had it save the password and then crash the machine (via c:\con\con). Asked the teacher to login for something and tada, admin password.

If you ever wondered why you have to press ctrl-alt-del to log in, that is why (nobody ever fixed this for Linux).
That's why Windows can be set to require Ctrl+Alt+Del before login as it can't be intercepted by a fake login screen.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Paternity leave is really important - some of which should be "must take" as much as a woman "must take" time and the rest can be taken by either parent or both parents can work less than full time. IIRC, paternity leave means women are discriminated against less for taking maternity leave.

But it is more than that. Making sure parents can take time off work when their child is sick or they have a meeting with the teacher and things like that are very important. Health care and so on? Important.

I'm guessing that where the paid leave comes from is really important as well: It seems that most of this should simply be taxpayer funded so it doesn't actually break a small business. The US medical leave laws exclude small businesses, so these folks can just fire you and besides, there is nothing saying you get paid time off at all.

There are probably other things that contribute as well.

There are a couple ways you can look at this situation:

- There generally isn’t an ‘optimal’ solution, but there are a lot of solutions with tradeoffs.

- Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and gravitate towards different molds.

- People aren’t born perfect, but what they can do is grow. How can you help them do that?

Software Does Not Make a Product
I don’t think the OP has children. Mine are the primary users of our printer, and never print in black and white, since “regular” essays are mailed in. They print out photos, colored shapes, game maps, etc.

I probably print out something twice a year, and quite often only so I can move it to the scanner tray and fax it in to some government office (because nothing else in the house but our printer has a modem, and Portuguese post office/customs/etc. still operate in the Middle Ages).

And even then the main reason I do that is that I prefer to use the printer menus than install HP’s utterly hideous Mac software.
Anecdotes don't defeat the general fact: education is a good proxy for intelligence, conscientiousness, IQ. This is not contentious.

Yeah IPE is definitely the best tool for this job. For 3D diagrams I've also used blender, either with its line rendering plugin Freestyle or by tracing over the output in IPE.
Facebook and other social media rely on that heavily and make their users do as much work for them as possible.

The constant stream of notifications makes it easier. Instructions can be presented as „tips”: upload a new photo, greet new users on your fanpage, reply to this message.

Some users are getting paid in just likes, but an increasing number receives very tangible business opportunities or direct compensation.

This is getting very close to employment territory. But unlike real employment, social media get to set the rules.
How did you find working in that environment compared to some other projects with clearer direction?

No intention to impose tax on social media Ads – Egypt's Ministry of Finance
GWT was a transpiler, optimizing Java compiler, optimizing JS compiler (had two backends inside of it), a container for hosted development environment, an annotation processor environment (before Java annotation processors), an SDK with a huge number of APIs, a Linker, a UI toolkit, and on and on, it basically was an end to end build environment.

J2CL is a transpiler, from Java to Closure annotated JS. It does no optimizations. It has no APIs. It only deals with standard Java inputs, everything else: SDK, debugger, optimizer, build time processing, edit/refresh, etc all has to come from the rest of the toolchain.

GWT was monolithic. J2CL is a step in your build file.

J2CL also produces smaller code than GWT, compiles faster, and fits into existing JS ecosystem a lot better. It's not hard to say, wire up J2CL code with any arbitrary TS or JS node module.

HP's pagewide inkjets have print heads wide enough to print the entire page in one pass and compare pretty well to medium end small business laser printers on cost and speed.

Hmm...

Is it legal to read a book outloud on Twitch?
Yes, I experience this issue most commonly when there are two lanes and I am using cruise control. I come up behind a truck or a bus and I need to pass it, but someone is coming down the passing lane like it's their own personal express lane. If I change lanes and pass at the speed limit then the person behind me will catch up quickly and start high beaming me. The alternative is I disengage my cruise control and hang back, allowing the speeder to pass first, but this plan often backfires in denser traffic because speeders often run in packs and other cars will jump over and immediately accelerate, after letting them pass and merging behind them they will vary their speed erratically as they try to sort themselves back into the right lane (or not, some of them of them just keep barrelling down the left lane forever). Usually in this situation I'll try to compromise by accelerating to +10 over during the pass, but I am not really comfortable doing it and often it's still not enough to stop me from getting flashed at.
Fascinating Article!
FM synthesis can generate a very broad array of sounds. A lot of the time you get bad results but if you’re looking for something that can make all kinds of different sounds that’s one option.

'Many home users print less than a page a week on average.'

I am a one-man business and home user, printing on average less than this. I've used the sama canon inkjet printer for several years and changed the ink maybe twice in this time.

Recently though, while staying with my dad, I bought another cheap inkjet partly because he needed a printer too and it would be useful for when ever I was there.

I made the mistake of buying a 'Google Cloud-print' compatible printer since my dad uses a Chromebook. I have to say that thing has put us both through hell and is the worst purchase I have ever made.
The article did not address this use case enough, but it was addressed in part.

> Reproducing colors in photographs accurately demands a lot more than just some barrels of color ink; it demands a high-resolution printer and special, treated paper that can hold colors better than plain old printer paper can. You can buy that stuff too, of course, but doing so expensive and complicated, which makes it hard to recommend when you could alternately just send your photos to a photo printing service and get much better results than you’d get at home for a fraction of the price.
Rugby was the worse. The season is during the cold months of the year, so you were basically guaranteed to end up cold, wet and muddy. I would have preferred to play hockey, but at my school that was for girls only.

This was at secondary school (11 - 16). At my primary school (until age 11) we didn't have showers so the sports were more tame.

big companies do not innovate. (counter examples welcome!) unless you’re in a 1-20 person startup, your impact is -5% to +5% as a division. Essentially you’re stroking egos: yours or management’s. best to choose the latter and try your hand at changing the world in after-work projects.
I really like Tikz but I find drawing anything with it extremely time consuming. At some point you have to ask yourself whether it's worth it. Personally, I think I'm done with Tikz. Next time I'm gonna try something else. Inkscape in particular looks like it could be a good alternative.
Midimutant is an evolutionary resynthesis system. These have been around for about a quarter century but I think they've not proven very helpful.

There is another way to let the machines do the work: interactive evolution. Brian Eno thought of this in 1995 (among others): the system presents you with N candidate patches, you select the ones you like, and it uses your selections to think of N new patches to offer you. Basically it's assisting you in moving forward through the space of patches in search of interesting stuff without having to program them.

Interactive evolution works really well for FM, but systems which provide it are rare. And now for the self-promotion. As it so happens, I just presented a paper on this a few days ago on my system.

I would agree that I’m willing to take a slightly lesser pay for having a private office or at least a cube. I have never felt comfortable working in an open floor plan office.

But, somehow, the non-engineers who make these decisions praise the open office and think it is best for us. Meanwhile, they always get themselves the corner and most private desk, and some even have their own cubicles and private offices.

It seems to vary by state (see the link I posted in a sibling of your comment) but the general rule is that the left lane should only be used for passing in which case logically there should only be one "pass" happening at a time so yielding is not an issue.
I was curious about the actual cost of doing this.

Average annual rent $/sqft = $30 (US), $40 (Seattle), $70 (SF/NY) [1]
Average private office space: 196 sqft [2]
Average cubical: 90 sqft [2]
Price of upgrade: $3180 (US), $4240 (Seattle), $7420 (SF/NY)

Another way of looking at this is ~$2-4/hour.

This ignores that if you did actually give every developer an office, prices would increase due to lack of space. It also likely ignores a slew of other factors from the real world.

It's pretty great! I used it to build my business's logo and really enjoyed working with such a comprehensive suite of tools, probably using a fraction of a percent of its capability and doing so in a brutish fashion.

However, my biggest challenge with it, and I've experienced this with other similar software, is how it handles text along a path.

After struggling with this for some time I just took a somewhat brute force approach and made hidden arcs that achieved the target text curvature, despite that arc not being part of the circle.
Part of what you're talking about is what bugs me about Amazon and the publishers. When I buy an audio CD, I can have it "auto-ripped" and available to download immediately as an MP3. I wish the same applied for more expensive physical copies of books, too - I wish they would also offer me a digital copy for my own convenience.
Preach Brother! This has become ubiquitous and the Norm in the Software Industry. People's mindset and expectations have been so programmed that nobody calls out BS; they just accept it and move on using the excuse "everybody does it". Every Engineer in the industry has to play this "game", how much ever he may find it distasteful, if he wants to get ahead in his career. You can see the results everywhere; job ads asking the impossible, resumes filled with skyhigh exaggerations, completely mystifying product presentations, companies with claims which have no bearing to reality etc. It is a vicious cycle and i can see no end in sight.
