If you are hinting to proprietary systems in your last sentence, you can go ahead and pay someone to lock you into their ecosystem. This is how Free Software works and I wouldn't have it any other way. People work on their own and bring it together into one whole system, and that can cause incompatibilities. However lock-step design is also one of the key ways to destroy innovation. If you lack the desire to learn how to configure your system, then you will probably not want to use a Free system. That's just how it is.

Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA or Cambridge, MA | Rust Engineer | Fulltime | ONSITE

We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Brown, Stripe, Twitter, Google, Salesforce, Palantir, DataPower, etc) and senior doctors (Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded by top-tier VCs.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Kubernetes. In addition to building our back end in Rust, we are also solving some very interesting problems in the areas of security, data transformation, high-speed APIs, flexible UX frameworks and fine-grained authorization for healthcare data.

Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[hn_rust]" in the subject line.

Other positions available: -
Techops/Devops Engineer (Kubernetes, SRE)
Senior Front End Engineer (React Native, React)
(please use [hn_ops] or [hn_react] in subject line for the above)

Locations: San Francisco, Montreal or Boston; sorry, no distributed/remote option at the moment.

videos can be altered in this way for a long long time now. just not by neural networks. so in reality, it changes nothing.
I think this tech is too complex to run on mobile devices in 8 seconds for video transfer from 1 selfie.

What I think Zao does is preprocess the videos (manually or highly accurate facepoint detection). They pre-calculate the transforms (standard facemorphing algorithms with opacity/alpha tweaks), and shading depending on the scene lighting. Then they just need a good frontal selfie, or do some frontalization, and keypoint detection, and the rest can be rendered/computed without much resources, following a pre-defined script.

If more advanced than facemorphing, then perhaps something more like: https://github.com/facebookresearch/supervision-by-registrat... (pre-fitting a 3D face mask, then texturing it with your selfie)
I certainly sympathize with the victims, but I also sympathize with someone who has been sentenced to life in prison (a small step above the death penalty, on my own morality scale).

Life sentences are not necessary to deter crime, as evidenced by crime and recurrence statistics of other countries.

I don't understand the matter first hand, but I believe this comment I read on reddit today:

The % of fuel used in this type of maneuver is negligible.

A sat in LEO like this uses fuel to:

- correct their orbit from the initial release from the rocket
- maintain orbit
- deorbit
- avoidance

The breakdown is something like: 66%, 33.5%, 0.45%, 0.05%

The ESA sat in this case boosted their sat...
which they planned on doing anyways. So it probably
cost close to nothing. It maybe reduced the lifespan
of the sat by 0.001%

Not saying you guys are wrong, just saying where it seems you get blowback for what another vendor doing more or less the same thing wouldn’t even register as a talking point. Not saying it’s fair, but it seems people hold you to something of a righteous/ideological expectation that Google et al can’t meet so they don’t even complain of it there.

In my mind, considering the push you’re making, you’d validate that vanilla chromium meets the requirements to achieve said push. If it didn’t, it’d be a non-starter and you’d have went a different route (leveraging aspects of Firefox’s stack maybe if, again, it met requirements).
In the example on the readme, why does it reverse the order of "casteli" (3) and "castle" (4)? It's a bit surprising that it understand the rest of the ordering (including the "and" in the center), but flips those two.

Also, if I were a developer trying to use this, I'd be constantly annoyed at receiving a dict with keys like "0", "1", "2" rather than just getting a list.

This is very cool.

I have a question for the community. A few years back I stumbled on a website that had really cheap prices for film, near but not expired. $2 (or $1?) for a roll of 24 run of the mill Kodak-200. I bought a dozen various rolls and I've now run out. I think it might have been one of the three big photo shops (Adorama, ect)

Where do you buy film cheaply?

> What's good about letting every script kiddie use it?

I think parent was making a point that once this tech is in the hands of the common man, it's value for sophisticated players might diminish strongly. Same way as an undisclosed 0day in a high value target (say IOS), is extremely valuable. Once it gets disclosed and everyone knows about it, people can come up with workarounds and eventual fixes, rendering the threat basically defanged.

I'm leaning towards the same school of thought. I'd rather see this tech widely accessible and hence all video/picture material henceforth considered completely untrustworthy, than living in the misguided notion that video evidence is trustworthy.

Ask HN: What's your total monthly SaaS spend? What products are you using?
Recently I was looking at how much we spend on SaaS, and it made me wonder -

For those who don't mind sharing, what's your total monthly SaaS spend? Where?

Here're some SaaS expenses that I can share off the top of my head: (amount in USD)

- Video Calling/Screensharing: 60

- Internal Docs: 80 (docs, spreadsheet)

- Emails: 60

- Team Communications: 60

- Customer Success: 90

- Survey/Feedback: 35

- Calendar Scheduling: 30

- CRM: 90

- Email Client: 60

- Lead Enhancement: 50 (get more details about given email/domain)

- Accounting: 70

- Private Beta Launch: 75

- Project Management: Free

- Analytics: Free

Total -> ~750 USD

+ PLUS
Few hundred dollars every month, while testing out a few SaaS, that requires credit card upfront, which you forget to cancel. (Q2 - Does this happen to you often?)

I'm currently working on a book about Django APIs.

I'm particularly interested in jobs that would give me the chance to further build skills in statically typed languages and/or working a large scale. Long run, I'd like to exclusively focus on backend development and systems.

“When everyone’s special, no one is.”

Basically, a (good) deepfake was out of reach for all but a few until recently, so if some bad actor with money and resources wanted to fake a video they could do it and few people would even think it could be faked.

Nowadays, the bar is way higher for this, as every video can be suspect.

> Diablo generates 9% of California’s electricity and 20% of its clean, carbon-free electricity.

It's remarkable that one nuclear plant generates 9% of the electricity for the entire state of California, and that they would have ever considered closing it (unless absolutely necessary).

Build a few more of those over time and California has no power concerns for the next 50-60 years combined with the expansion of other renewables. Even being conservative with their current budget they could safely put a few billion dollars per year into building new nuclear power plants.

Even better, build to surplus and begin exporting that green nuclear energy to other states.

The racism is actually shown by Kashmiri Muslims who ethnically cleansed Kashmiri Hindus. Hundreds of thousands of Hindus were forced to leave the Kashmir Valley.[1] Hundreds of Hindu temples were destroyed.[2][3] Even now they're forcing people from other Indian states to leave.[4]

If the behavior of Indian forces is really as bad as it is claimed then why no large scale migration of Kashmiri Muslims happened like it happened for Kashmiri Hindus or Rohingyas[5]?

Ask HN: How to do local speech recognition in browsers?
HI. Seeing that the speech recognition API seems to be somewhat stuck in its tracks (https://caniuse.com/#search=speech%20recognition , https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecognition), I was wondering how I could get a browser on most devices (inluding iOS) to reliably recognize simple words, like yes/no. I realize that it could, of course, be done online, but we'd need that to work offline (with the option of confirming/checking online later). Maybe there's something available for WebAssembly. Sites I visited based on google searches were somewhat vague. Anybody doing similar research or have something in prod already?
University of Michigan | Ann Arbor, MI | Full-Time | Onsite | $52-$68k

http://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/176986/research_support_...
My team is hiring a junior/intermediate Research Support Programmer. We are setup as an internal consulting service for the college of LSA that takes any programming job a research lab needs help with. If you think of yourself as a “web developer” or a “python programmer” then this might not be for you. We are looking for someone ready to learn/write/debug whatever the labs need. In the first few years, this will include working with a lot of new languages and technologies.

We are especially interested in adding someone who has experience/interest in interfacing with research hardware: Imagine a researcher just bought a big micro-fluidics machine and a microscope and needs to automate taking images during an experiment. We would be particularly excited to get a LabVIEW fan.

You can email me with informal questions, but the only way to apply is through the link above at the umich careers site.

Without the tag "enforcement" means censoring a co-user and the problem manifests as "who can wield this authority fairly and justly against their co-users"?

With the tag enforcement means who can triage new posts to tag them appropriately when a co-user does not. They're not the same problems and I think objectively this is a better problem to have.

Most decent size cities will still have labs, and there’s always the option to develop by mail.
