Can you please point me to the terrestrial explanation for the recent spate of "snake-like" UFO sightings?

In the absence of any positive evidence for its existence, I don't believe there is extra-terrestrial life. But I haven't seen any logical explanation for some of the widely observed phenomena, either. I usually assume it involves secret government projects.

The power of Jupyter is being able to reproduce somebody else's math and then take it in another direction. It has to be open source to actually work. I wish the best for Wolfram, but I hope Alpha Notebook won't take off in science community.
If you attempt an 'aggressive or creative' interpretation of the rest of the criminal law, you will very likely be going to jail. People have been trying innovative forms of theft for centuries, and the laws are broadly enough drafted that you're still going to be stuffed.

You're right about the high standard of proof required for tax cases, and the difficulties of prosecuting complex white collar frauds, but I'm not sure that we have to set the mens rea bat as high as we do. Plenty of other crimes can be prosecuted on "known or ought to have known" rather than having to prove intent.

Show HN: 3D Videos and Kinect-Like RGBD Streaming via USB iOS App [Record3D]
In general, assuming that we have constant-time operations on arbitrarily large numbers (which we almost universally assume when doing these analyses, except in very specific fields), then hash structures do check membership and add items in O(1) time (since the time spent increasing the structure size is amortized fairly quickly).

Additionally, the only problem with this approach is the extra O(k) space taken up by the structure, which doesn't meet the condition if the result is to be reported in a streaming fashion (but this is not the case in most practical applications)! For comparison, Vitter's is able to do this streaming output in O(1) space.
I'm looking for a feedback for my new iOS app Record3D (https://record3d.app). It can be used for live-streaming of RGBD video — essentialy real-time Point Clouds as the camera's intrinsic matrix is included — into a computer via USB cable. Open source C++ and Python libraries are available and are multiplatform (macOS, Linux, Windows), here's the source code: https://github.com/marek-simonik/record3d/

I'm looking for an inspiration of how the feature could be used by a wider audience (I made it just for my side projects because I don't own a Kinect and wanted to work with RGBD data).

One idea I got was to make a Blender, Unity or Houdini plugins on top of the C++/Python libraries so that the app would appeal to digital artists for making live performances. I don't know how to possibly market it outside of the developer community — do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

P.S. I'm also interested in your feedback regarding the "True3D" feature (head tracking-based parallax view) — video example here: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ReadyLeafyBumblebee-mobile.mp4

People got scared (somewhat legitimately) and we regulated them to death. It became so risky and so expensive to invest in nuclear that nobody, not even the big companies with nuclear divisions like GE did it.

People talk about failures of the market all the time, and there are many. This was one of the failures of regulation.

I think we're starting to see a small revival here finally, but is it too late? Renewables are driving down the cost of electricity so any nuclear companies not only have to find a way to be profitable today, but 1, 2, 3 decades from now.
I don't agree with this comment at all. Skepticism isn't denying the claim or advocating an alternative one, it is promoting thoroughness and responsibility. The uninspected claim is quite a bit more dangerous.

I recently started playing around with RetroArch, and found it quite hard to make sense of all the shaders it comes with. :) Looking forward to the coming articles to get a better understanding of the parts that make up the pipeline from raw RGB pixels to something that looks like what I remember playing on my TV as a kid.

One question to the article: Do emulators generally have the color correction/gamma adjustments built in? If so is there typically a flag to turn it off, so it can be done in shaders instead?
Not sure whether that was meant as a joke or not, but the difference is which term is real and which is imaginary, not the order of the terms...
Sorry, I was probably unclear. I imagine Cutter just tells you what each opcode does, no? gcc.godbolt.org does that too, with links to the ISA docs.

But here I mean that in the ChocoPy code you get explanations of what instructions do in the context of the program's semantics, i.e., how they relate to a higher-level view of what's going on. An example:

.globl $print
$print:
# Function print
lw a0, 0(sp) # Load arg
beq a0, zero, print_6 # None is an illegal argument
lw t0, 0(a0) # Get type tag of arg
li t1, 1 # Load type tag of `int`
beq t0, t1, print_7 # Go to print(int)
li t1, 3 # Load type tag of `str`
beq t0, t1, print_8 # Go to print(str)
li t1, 2 # Load type tag of `bool`
beq t0, t1, print_9 # Go to print(bool)
print_6: # Invalid argument
li a0, 1 # Exit code for: Invalid argument
la a1, const_4 # Load error message as str
addi a1, a1, @.__str__ # Load address of attribute __str__
j abort # Abort

Note that the different occurrences of lw and li explain the meanings of the magic constants in the code. This would be pretty hard to do from disassembly alone.

Renault K-ZE electric crossover launches in China for just –$9k – Electrek
As an ex-employee I am indifferent to WW’s success or failure, but to set a few things straight, very few of their members are on month to month deals. The larger deals they do for corporates are often multi-year commitments.

As long as a sophisticated large corporate sees a net benefit of being in a wework they will stay.

As an analogy, everyone knows running servers on AWS is more expensive per unit of compute than running your own hardware, however, there is a genuine value for a company to hand off the running of an office space (and the capital investment on buildout) to a third party in exchange for predictable monthly opex.

Oh… oops.
It has gone digital because it's cheaper and allows for better custom hearing curves. Because remember there's an underlying hearing issue already.

"It turns the world into mp3" digital quality is not necessarily bad, some models might have issues, of course.
It will happen probably. But even now it's not that bad. In 30 mins you can get 100s of km.

And also it's a different paradigm, since most people just charge it overnight at home.
So except when going on a long trip, you don't have to visit a "gas station".
My main problem with SPIR-V specialization today is that it doesn't affect the shader interface. For WebGPU, we don't want to validate presence of resources that the user doesn't need, we don't want to allocate registers for them in our pipeline layouts, etc. I think having this ability is critical.
Digital technology may offer advantages in its ability to tailor amplification to a particular individual’s loss profile as well as the availability of programmed settings for different social situations, plus extra bells and whistles like Bluetooth and app-tracker options. What it cannot do is faithfully reproduce natural sound in a way that is subjectively satisfying and moving and true.

Oh buddy do i have a xiph rant for you. I am more or less entirely willing to chalk this up to what I shall politely call “top-down effects”.

Frequency tuning and rapid readjustment of it is the key feature of modern hearing aids and we’re just barely scratching the surface of what we can and should do.

Here’s why: presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, has a cruel fact about it. As the threshold of audibility rises for a particular frequency, the threshold of pain lowers. Rather often, the reason people don’t use hearing aids is that they create a situation in which you can hear but also every sound is painful!

Precise digital control of per-frequency intensity amplification can make that a lot less terrible. If it hurts to hear at 4khz, we can squelch that frequency but boost the 100-400hz range and your speech audibility should still get the boost you need to talk to your grandchildren. Throw a BLE connection to a nice multicore GPU smartphone into the mix and we can start offloading really complicated processing to the thing in your pocket.
Wouldn't this have a bias to how the initial input sequence is?

EDIT: On the other hand, due to randomness, it could cancel itself out, I don't know, beats me. My brain hurts, at this point, I'd try to figure it out statistically first, to see if it's even a valid assumption before continuing the theoretical thought, but I'm presently too lazy to code that out... it's Friday, cheers.

It's interesting to see some negative reactions to what Alex did. His actions bring to forefront a belief which doesn't seem to sit well with many: his life is his own.

I'm back home after one month in Australia and when I was there I noticed a phenomenal amount of birds everywhere, even in Sydney, even in the City. I think that nobody can keep sleeping past 6 AM in rural areas, but Australia is one of those countries when people wake up early.

Compared to Australia, Europe is a wasteland: we do have birds but not as many. I guess you can't have both a lot of people and a lot of animals. When there are many of us there isn't enough space left for them.
As I understood it, those were not the two options discussed in the article.

Instead it was: use the color values specified in the code, ignoring that screens have changed and that they won't look the same at all, or account for that and make it look right.

The goal is really emulation, making it look like the original. Making games look better than the original is a harder job, that's more remastering the game to take advantage of newer hardware, like what is done on rereleases for new systems.

Algorithmic and signal-wise, there are common conventions in English-language journalism that signal "original reporting", or rather, not original reporting.

You do however get some power for more than 9 hours per day. Also, panels can go well past 200w/m at a theoretically possible 600w/m the numbers look rather different. Cars are only going 12-15k miles a year so hit 40miles a day and you generally stop needing charging stations.
It seemed obvious to me that their complaint was about a reduced dynamic range due to (poor) digital compression, even though that wasn't explicitly stated.
I worked in two F500 compagnies both are using k8s, Docker / grafana and Go. They also use C# but not in the cloud / operations / infra world.

The fact that C# was running on Windows only until 2 years ago explains why.
yeah basically, but with no driver. That was my point about over-engineering: the army didn't want an expensive re-invention of off road vehicles, just existing technology tailored to their needs.

There is a lot of cool research in separating sound sources in general. From friends in the industry, I know that the traditional approach taking advantage of phase difference between microphones is hard, because the of the small separation distance (within 1 hearing aid device and even when you have one in each ear). Conversely I haven't fully comprehended it yet, because I've similarly read that Google Android's beamforming microphone tech should be quite good: https://github.com/shichaog/WebRTC-audio-processing/tree/mas...

Here are some examples of new research with neural networks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEk8cHF-OA og https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL6ltnSKf9k
Interesting argument but I don't buy it.

- Digital hearing aids are smaller, lower power and easier to configure than analog hearing aids (think "fits in your ear canal" vs. "you wear the original iPod on your belt")

- The benefits of full-analog audio are contentious at best and almost certainly imperceptible for people with hearing loss

If you want further convincing that A->D->A conversion is perfectly fine, https://xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml is excellent.

I wonder how this will deal with content that evolves over time. Some breaking news was published to BBC News with only a sentence and was fleshed out within the hour, so the original publication time and the possible originality of content are disconnected.

Further evidence that
e^{ix} = cos(x) + i sin(x)
is natural is that it fits in nicely with power series representations. If you define cos(x), sin(x), and e^x by their power series centered at 0 then it's straightforward to see that substituting ix into the power series for e^x yields the sum of the power series for cos(x) and i*sin(x) (as long as you accept that theorems about absolute convergence and rearranging terms extend to the complex numbers).
MongoDB Dev Advocate here. The following is used to construct an ObjectId:

The 12-byte ObjectId value consists of:

a 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch,
a 5-byte random value, and
a 3-byte counter, starting with a random value.

Potentially, you could end up exposing the timestamp of when the document was created, but that's the only thing that might be a potential concern. You should be good to go!

Additional Information about the MongoDB ObjectId can be found here: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/ObjectId/
I haven't actually read any internal resumes, but why do you think no one working on Google News has any journalism education or experience?
To the question:

- Smaller.

- Improved battery life.

- Better tailored to specific hearing loss (e.g. certain frequencies).

- Telecoil compatible.

- Improved Feedback Control. Better safety features.

The entire article could be boiled down to an argument that "analogue is natural, digital is artificial." It compares digital hearing aids to MP3s. The problem is, there's nothing inherently natural about the way analogue audio works, and it can manipulate and alter the sound profile just like digital (inc. compression/artifacting, particularly when space constrained/dealing with cross-interference).

Just because a technology is older doesn't automatically make it more "pure." If they argued for a way to configure a hearing aids/remove artificial filtering, that's fine (I agree), but to suggest that digital and analogue audio fundamentally work differently from a perceptual perspective isn't really factual.

It doesn't have to be inherently (intrinsicly?) good. It has good ramifications, such as the literally billions of people that have had a chance to live and be brought out of poverty that wouldn't have even existed otherwise.

Those aren't insightful questions. They only sound wise when you don't think critically about them.
Not necessarily.

Best way to learn C++ for deep learning?
I am a Computer Science Graduate who has quite an experience in deep learning in Python as I have done several internships and my thesis about that topic. However I want to make myself prepared for the industry ML/DL jobs which more often have as prerequisite C++ knowledge besides only Python.
