The lessons look interesting from a high level perspective. And I think could help people guide their applications.

I think there's also a need for a very low level course in deep learning. I.e. on the level of someone who wishes to write their own deep learning library. Because from high up, sure it all looks like the chain rule, but down low, it gets messy quickly if you want to write a high performance library on your own.
How to Evaluate a Counting Statistic
As others have noted, this is common in rural America, which tend toward being very high-trust communities such that many people don't even bother to lock their doors. Bartering local goods and services is such an integral part of the rural social fabric that everyone has an interest in making it work well with minimal transaction costs.

Part of what makes it work in rural areas is that no one is really anonymous. The local social networks tend to be very quick to identify bad actors.
we can hope ;)
Yeah, "transfer" is so... bloodless as to be a lie.
In Paris pavements are routinely lined with stacks of books, magazines, comics, etc. The idea being 'you take some, you leave some. Or just take, at least the books will find some use.' I've seen it abroad so it's probably widespread.

Slightly more tangential, but people also often leave furniture (or clothes) they don't need outside for the taking, often because they're moving places. You notify the municipality, put up a post-it with a number on it so that they can eventually identify and carry the stuff away if it finds to takers, but in the meantime other people are free to help themselves. I have friends who would completely furnished their apartment with furniture found on the street.
Nobody is talking about every piece of software having to be free; if they want to make add-ons that can be sell they should have made those plugins for a software that allows such financing model such creating plugins for Autodesk Maya.
To serve customers in high-risk areas safely, it's much more expensive than to serve customers in low-risk areas. Insulated overhead conductors or buried circuits are expensive. Yet the current regulatory paradigm requires that the customers in both regions pay the same amount for electricity.
We could call it the Great Leap Forward or something like that.
Agreed. Lighten up, HN. He didn’t even make any jokes about the Sixth Greater Abyssinian Baptist Church or something.
2.79b is what you get with stock Ubuntu. Is it worth getting 2.8 if one is starting now?
Man I can relate!

I met most of my closest friends in College and we graduated almost a decade ago and have ended up moving to different parts of the states but I keep in contact with most of them via a Discord server and play with some of them on a near daily basis.

It's really great since it feels like we are just hanging out in the dorm hall just shooting the shit.
The fatal flaw of course is that everyone accessing their stream gets the same random data, making it substantially less random in the sense of others not being able to predict it. So do not use for cryptography!
Blender is a great piece of software and I appreciate their choice of license (GPL). Obviously the GPL put a lot of thought in the development of their licenses and it's important for software developers to know about the subtle differences. With AGPL they try to close the loophole that companies use to build a network layer around GPL licensed code. AFAIK if you link to GPL your work is "derived", so you have to open it which is not the case if used "over the network".

I wonder if AGPL should be considered a secret weapon against the big SaaS companies. On HN I read that GPL and especially AGPL software/libraries are a no-go for some of these companies, but maybe this can be a feature for small players?
If you want electricity, you may be required to pay them to extend the infrastructure to your house in the middle of nowhere (at your cost) and then they are required to provide you power and maintain the infrastructure (and assume the liability). If other people begin using the infrastructure within a set period of time, you will receive partial refund for the upfront expense.
The punishment rolls down to the architects designing the system, who risk getting fired. Ultimately, they are the ones who decide if something is compliant or not. In my anecdotal experience;people in good rep tech companies take compliance requirements very, very seriously.

While the punishment may not have a huge adverse affect on the company, it does on the people implementing said systems. Being the one in the middle of a GDPR/SOC2 compliance oopsie means you lose all upward mobility in said company and risk getting fired.
like the "molecules of freedom" or "freedom gas" but then "programs of freedom" or "freedom software" ?
I'm self conscious about my double chin. I don't want the cute guy working at the NSA to see that.
Just looking at the quote of "$58/mo for a vCPU", they're clearly taking the median cost of a vCPU across all instance types, which includes hyper-expensive instances with value-adds like GPUs or tons of memory.

The real, distinct cost of a vCPU is probably closer to $25/mo. You can look at a m5.large instance, their "general purpose" instance, 2vCPU+8gb @ $70/mo, which would put 1vCPU+4gb at $35/mo. Google Cloud specifically lists the distinct price of a vCPU in custom instances as $24/mo, and AWS feels close to that when you consider the cost of memory in that $35/mo.

The lack of networking cost also seems like a big oversight; if I could force every engineer to know a single "AWS Cost" that affects every vertical of development, from frontend to backend, I want them to know how crazy expensive DC egress is.

I agree that the marginal cost of providing those services to rural homes is higher than urban/suburban homes. However, I think you're vastly overestimating the actual costs incurred, as many (maybe most) people who live in rural areas don't have most of those things.

I live in a mostly rural county in north-central Colorado. The county maintains ~250 miles of roads of which only 39 miles are paved (the rest of the roads in the county are state and federal highways).

Outside the few small towns in the county, there's no sewer or municipal water. Everyone has a septic tank and a well on their property that they're responsible for maintaining.

Same with cable/fiber. Unless you live in a town, your options are ~1.5Mbps DSL or ~5Mbps fixed wireless (if you have good line of sight to a base station). Neither the county nor any of the ISPs in the area have any plans to significantly improve services, so I'm really hoping that SpaceX gets Starlink up and running sooner rather than later.

Considering all that, I don't think that your calculated premium of $400,000 per rural home actually applies in most situations.
Android 9, and maybe 8 but I never checked, offers an opacity setting.

I leave the filter on, and the setting to a point where I see an overall display color temp close to the old NTSC value: 6,500k. Being an 80's kid, values centered on 6,500 were common. I remember the shift upward becoming more common. It was intense!

For people who were viewing during the cooler periods, warmer displays are something one can feel. It is a lot like the feeling one gets when stepping outside after a long, device free, period indoors.

A 6,500 ish display temp presents an orange tint when compared to most device defaults seen today. For me, this is almost unnoticeable after a brief time. I adapt quickly and basically become unaware.

A nice, darker phone theme helps.

I really like the warmer settings, but they do have an impact on me. Sleep and eye fatigue. For most things I find I just do not care and will save a really warm session for a movie, or other special time.
>I don't really see the difference between this and "accept its drawbacks"

The difference is one is known, and the other is unknown. When you're evaluating existing software you can evaluate multiple competitors based on their finished product. You can't do that when you're hiring a developer.

>and if the developer fails, you can replace them (whereas for a given proprietary product, you typically can not replace the vendor while keeping the licensing agreement and investment in training [this last bit being a big part of why in-house developers make sense for Blender, as they always have for 3D animation studios]).

I'd say this argument supports using only existing established successful products, to avoid being burnt.

Not all reactors; fast neutron burner reactors output less Pu than they consume.
It shouldn't be all that different than swimming against the current in a wave simulator or one of those home jet pools people use for practicing laps.In both cases you retain the sense of moving forward, but will go backward if you are too slow about it.

Come to think of it, a running machine or even walking/running the wrong way on an escalator is essentially the same case.
Are you sure you understand the situation? The buyers knew up front that this was just a trial, there's nothing underhanded here.

As one of those younger users, I still have an account on all of those and still use many. Instagram is from Facebook, Tumblr is from Yahoo which is owned by Verizon. A lot of funny content is taken from TikTok, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and more and reposted over and over through those platforms.

This is directly in response to "As we've seen with myspace, digg, etc., and as we're seeing with tumblr and also facebook now, younger, more tech-savy users have no issues with changing platforms.. from facebook to tumblr to snapchat to instagram to SomethingNew(TM)."
Agreed, yet that conclusion (that low cholesterol is somehow harmful) cannot be excluded either. I agree that it would be interesting to see how the results of the Korean study would change if statin-takers were excluded.
A 5G Iron Curtain?
> Why is that so hard to grasp for technical crowds?

Because laws concerning actual theft are objectively defined, and are logically consistent with themselves and other laws.

Laws about 'hacking', where the crime is simply a message, not a physical action, are extremely subjective. It revolves around intent more than the action.

For example: If a user goes to the website of theirbank.com and the root page is a list with all the credit card numbers of all the clients. Is he committing a crime? He used computers to get information that he shouldn't be allowed to see. Most people would say: no, he only wanted to visit the website.

If I see that the bank's API has no security, am I committing a crime?

If I use SQL injection to see all the users data, am I committing a crime?

Most people would say that it depends on intent, but intent is extremely subjective, and IMO a pretty bad way to define laws.
Give people a taste of power and you see their character come out.
> except anything we don’t want you to do. The MIT license is the one that is actually free.

GPL's ideals are good. It's just that the ideals are hard to achieve when there's a need to also make money. I would describe MIT style to be 'free to exploit me [the software] as you please, even if you don't intend to contribute anything back'.

I bought a monitor with a "Low Blue Light" feature built-in. At first I didn't use it, but after reading up on it I decided to give it shot. I have three monitors on my desk so I reduced the blue on the other two manually.

It was a bit hard to get used to at first, it seemed to make things a bit more green to me, but after about a week I switched it off and it only took a few minutes to notice the difference. My eyes felt a lot more strained with it turned off.

If I were doing graphic work I suppose I'd have to turn it off, but I'm not so I don't worry much about how it effects the little bit of UI work I do.
It's still in beta with a release slated for July, but yes.

only someone who hasn't really used the tool in anger and mastered it would claim this. I can't even switch to eclipse from intellij and not have a huge productivity hit for several months. and that's just typing code! A real 3D modeller would have so much muscle memory for their modelling app of choice it't not funny.

Am not sure there was any solid plans. People have, or had, different aspirations.

It, more than anything, IMO, was said to appease the fear of the HK people who had a deep mistrust of the PRC government. Still, a lot of people emigrated before 1997.

Note that the saying is kind of vague anyway, it just says that the capitalist system and "ways of living" will not change.
This article doesn't offer much advice other than "be tough and don't be late." Seems to be clickbait.
Another reminder that the advice doled out to teens to "follow your passion" when selecting a major and a future career, is rather irresponsible. Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You" is a great read on this topic: https://commoncog.com/blog/so-good-they-cant-ignore-you/
> How did you come to the conclusion that Blendle didn't get the major national newspapers on board?

You're not carrying NRC. Any serious collection of Dutch quality newspapers includes at least all three of Volkskrant, Trouw, and NRC. The rest is regional, tabloid (Telegraaf), or mostly irrelevant (AD).

How is the fact that there is old code in modern Linux distributions suddenly becoming empirical evidence on the viability of a business model? A business model does not become viable because you as the customer are somehow able to work on the project after it is no longer commercially available. By the way: there are a lot of commercial projects having escrow agreements to solve that problem without having to be open source.

I simply don't buy that we all should be living off donations to support our software development. It's utterly clear that only the biggest projects can pull that off, and even there — only to a certain degree, with some notable exceptions (RedHat, Linux).
How about we start treating alcohol like smoking? For example ban alcohol advertising like we have with tobacco and I bet society would improve in a lot of unforeseen ways (besides the obvious reduction in alcohol related deaths and diseases and family issues).
I would say that most HK ppl just want a stable environment to live and happy to have a status quo. But recently, given the circumstance, more ppl do think UK can take more measures, say, in some way, to allow BNO holder to work and settle easier in UK, given that these holders are willing to and capable to do so.

And ppl might miss the last decades of British rules too, in an emotional way, as Economically and culturally HK was in a very good shape. Though most ppl won’t express it with a union flag in a public setting.
So if the utility is on the line for wildfire costs regardless, then here's a thought: maybe they'll do the economically rational thing and "accidentally" trigger smaller fires every so often.
Hmm...but doesn't this suggest then that cholesterol levels are merely a biomarker of something else that causes the mortality, and not a direct cause of it?
A few weeks ago I was outright downvoted right here on HN (edit: and also right now, within literally the first 30 seconds of posting this very comment!) for merely suggesting people start by getting their companies and coworkers to see business travel as a carbon liability to be minimized rather than a work perk to be maximized. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as to how much we're genuinely willing to even consider entertaining the remote possibility of sacrificing from our own lives.
Interesting. I have a hunch that this all is an attempt to game Google Summer of Code to win sponsorship. I think the sponsors look for open source contributions, and they created all the copies, organisations etc. to make it seem like significant profile. It’s crazy that people would go to such lengths. Like you said, it’s very odd, and sloppy.
The disruption everyone talks about in this industry is much like self driving cars so far off into the future.
Can the process be streamlined yes, can you get rid of some of the players not really. You will always need a title check you will always have to handle servicing( some banks and lenders do it in house depends on the cost) you will always need someone to buy a pool of loans and sell it to other investors.
Sure, however:

a) This built-in feature is way below the standards trivially achievable via extensions in Firefox, Chrome etc.

b) It's a downgrade in relation to what Opera itself used to offer in the past (and then, if I recall, got so stripped of functionalities it didn't even support bookmarks at some point).
What you're describing sounds like exactly what the CAC score is good for. Most people don't mind taking a statin if guidelines indicate that they should. But if they really want to avoid a statin, then a CAC of zero is reassuring.
State Dept Answers FAQs on Social Media Screening Visa Applicants
Meson developers are highly opinionated regarding what "should" and "should not" be supported, and aggressively block anything that might be considered, or even lead to "badness". Sometimes this is justified, but it makes one's job very difficult if one disagrees with them. For example, they insist on completely integrating Rust into the build framework, but also (apparently) don't have the manpower to actually implement that, so, coupled with the fact that extending the language is impossible from within the language, practical Rust (i.e. any dependencies, any Cargo use at all) is difficult to impossible.
What's great along with Blender, is the availability of very very inexpensive rendering using https://golemgrid.com/. It's name your own price and can be had for 1/10th the cost of using a render farm.
Real CSPRNG designs are a bit more complex, having at least a state (like a hash function) but also an output mechanism to let it generate more bits.

One way to do that is to “compress” all your input entropy into a single state, and then use that as the key for a stream cipher, like AESCTR or Salsa20.
People read news on whichever device they're using at the moment. MMS would mean you're stuck with content on just your smartphone.
That is a good question. These results tell you that statins don't take your risk to zero. If you were totally protected from CAD as soon as you took a statin, then I agree that confounding by indication would not be a thing.

But, across all fields of medicine, we know that confounding by indication is a problem. Preventive medicines, by and large, are not sufficiently powerful to reduce risk to zero.
Didn't we try that with prohibition?
I have the opposite problem. Call quality over cellular networks is always terrible. Even when you can hear each other, the quality is awful. I generally use voice over internet with something like signal.

It's potentially cheaper for a lot of these places to have off-grid infrastructure.

+ Solar + batteries for a home that uses a modest / conservative amount of electricity should be under $50k.

+ Water + septic should be under $25k, assuming you have a well

+ Gas can be installed for well under $10k, you have a large tank in your yard

+ Internet can be done using long range wifi. Takes the whole town to cooperate, but these days everyone wants internet, as long as someone spearheads it you can get an ISP out.

That pretty much just leaves roadways, which you definitely have various qualities of roads that you can build, but I don't see a cheap way around this.

edit: further research has revealed to me that lots of electric appliances can be replaced with gas powered appliances. So if you are primarily depending on gas for things like your refrigerator, you can bring the cost of a solar installation way down.
It's called Tinder. It's better for everyone to just date outside of the office. And if you can't succeed there any success within the office is a hint that maybe power dyanmics and subtle coercion is at play.
There’s lots of small shops transitioning to Blender or using Blender. The studio that makes A Man in A high Castle VFX used Blender and there’s some animation studios in Spain using Blender.

The reason why it’s not used more: as good as it is Blender is still not Maya or Cinema 4D. Each 3D application has its own strengths and Maya has a LOT of tools that are application specific and that other applications might struggle to copy because they are so intertwined into its UX/UI and of course lots of proprietary R&D.

There’s also the question of pipeline - .fbx file format is the standard in the industry and for good or for bad it’s ruled by Autodesk afaik. Other applications have to adversarially replicate it (i think?) a bit like .doc files going onto iWork

And on your comment of having employees working on Blender - I believe Disney has a few people who contribute to Blender. But lots of the other applications like Maya and Katana are also extensible and studios like ILM have extensively modified Maya and others so to answer your question - they do extend other applications like Maya, Katana and NUKe and they have people on staff working on those extensions.

The thing those extensions or plugins turn out to often be excellent competitive advantage against other studios so it’s actually helpful to keep them in house. All the big VFX studios have multiple proprietary technologies that they don’t share them with anyone at all - unless it becomes advantageous to sell it to others, in which try often spin it off or sell it to The Foundry.
The vox video paints the Belt and Road Initiative in a negative light - which i feel is wrong. Why shouldn't China be allowed to invest and gain soft power? Why shouldn't they be allowed to make deals with countries the US deems 'undemocratic'?
Um, prohibition is the complete ban of all alcohol.
umvi is proposing the ban of alcohol related advertising. One is completely different than the other.
This appears to be a lone case issue, and the thread doesn't resolve what is actually going on.

I'm curious how "devices" became pluralized. Is there more than this thread about a single device describing the issue?
No, it was time 30 years ago. Now it's too late.
I have the opposite problem. Call quality over cellular networks is always terrible. Even when you can hear each other, the quality is awful. I generally use voice over internet with something like signal.

I also find that Apple's FaceTime is the most consistently good and functional with little "can you hear me now".
Banning advertising of something is a bit different than banning the thing itself
That's simply not going to happen because there is no "second hand sugar" scenario. Even alcohol, which is incredibly destructive to third parties by any measure (domestic abuse, drunk driving, etc), hasn't successfully been publicly vilified to the same extent as smoking.
