I gave this a go today and managed to install huginn on my synology nas by simply searching for the docker container. I then setup 3 agents to scrape a Shopify webstore jason endpoint that I’m always checking for inventory, have huginn parse the json and send me an sms via twilio if inventory changes. Took about 2 hours, wasn’t too bad. Huginn twilio docs seemed dated.

Used python simplehttp server and ngrok to replicate a json url and play with the triggers to test it all before pointing it at a real website.

Nice to add a new tool to the belt, thanks!
If it is so easy, as you say, then if you can release examples where you do that using their training data, then you would probably get some acclaim, and I personally would applaud your effort.
The idea with Ultra Wide Band is that it is meant to be always on, much like WiFi or Bluetooth if you choose to have it on listening all the time. So if the user wants to have Ultra Wide Band on all the time are you saying that they should ask the user to provide their location, then just assume that they will never leave their country? How do you detect if they have left the country to a location where Ultra Wide Band is restricted?
The wording is right there in the article in the title.
"Gathering the approximate location of your Sonos system allows us to auto-populate your registration postal code and predetermine the radio locale for your system so it is configured as soon as you are done setting up your system."

You're right, you could do that however in the context of user experience you might choose to remove that from the application such that the user is able to register their devices faster. And if you really only need and use that information during the setup as they said, then what's the problem?

With regards to spoofing, if it is correct that they need the locale in order to know whether they can serve that location. And they implement a location check to satisfy that, then if the end user spoofs the location, surely Sonos don't care because they've done their due diligence. If you choose to spoof the location that's a different story, Sonos if they could would provide the service to everyone its the licensing companies that tell where they can.

My opinion, if you are required to obtain the location of the user as part of the setup process due to determining the radio locale. And you do so only during the setup process as you have stipulated on your website, then I don't think its that big of a deal. Either way I'd have to provide my location using a drop down menu and for the end user its just one part of the overall setup process that is done for you.

Struggle sessions aren't analogous, as they were held against class enemies (out-group). More akin are the self-criticism sessions that Maoist cadre held. Communist cadre criticized themselves. Which, if you want another analogy stretching backward, would be confession in the Roman Catholic church.

Tangentially, struggle sessions only arose to prominence during the Cultural Revolution. The main criticism of class enemies were the Speak Bitterness sessions of the 1940s, where communist cadre would facilitate a village's peasants criticism of its landlords. Despite the notion that communist cadre were instigating violence, most of Mao's letters were to cadre who were taken aback by peasant's (sometimes fatal) violence toward long hated landlords, Japanese collaborators etc.

My diagnosis is that almost nobody knows how to hire programmers. Recruiters don't know how to hire programmers. MBAs certainly don't know how to hire programmers. Even many programmers don't know how to hire programmers. Good programming sense is an art, and it's really hard to evaluate it in someone else without truly grasping it yourself.

So in the absence of real criteria, like a poorly-trained ML model everyone just latches on to superficial signifiers that have worked out in the past, and that local maximum probably gives them slightly-better-than-random outcomes, even if it's far below what it could be.

I don't understand neither the author's nor yours approach to doing this in Illustrator.

If you want to have a square inset into a circle in Affinity Designer, you:

- Draw a circle.

- Create a square from the middle of the circle outwards. The square will _constraint_ perfectly to the circle.

If you want to do the reverse (circle inside square), it's even easier since the bounding box of the 2 objects is one and the same ...

I have the feeling that the author is simply unfamiliar with current design programs. Those haven't stagnated like one might think from the article.

I was staying in a hostel in the Philippines and they had a pet crow that would greet you, but he'd also fuck with you - or at least me. He'd say "Come here" over and over until I went over to him, then he'd turn away from me when I got there. As soon as I turned back away he'd say "come here" again. Funny little shit.

There is a persistent lure to symbolic AI, and it is the lure of anthropomorphization, of thinking that AI must be smart in the way humans are smart, by manipulating symbols.

But natural language is not so much a central expression of machine intelligence as it is of human intelligence. Humans confuse linguistic aptitude with intelligence. Symbolic manipulation will be at best an API by which machines can relate to humans as the machines get smarter and smarter. Symbolic tools that conform to the bandwidth limitations of humans, which are constraints that our current machines don't face. (Historically they did, and symbolic AI made more sense then, since neural-net training was unfeasible.)

The lure of symbolic AI puts us in the bondage of old ideas, as Keynes would say. Symbolic AI is the equivalent of replacing our economy's fiat currency with an arbitrary supply of a yellow mineral.

Regarding the second part of your question.. As a person who worked there, I can tell you they take the care of your dna much more seriously than other companies. They know that what's good for customers is good for business. The company has huge legal pull from on staff lawyers who keep the customers best interests at the forefront (to avoid even potential lawsuits). I'm not speaking from a pro-company stand point (as I mentioned, I work-ed there), but from someone who knows the details.

Financial situation affects both house appearance and insurance claims. Some people won't bother to file legitimate insurance claims for small things, while other people will file fraudulent claims.

House appearance and car crashes will be related by risk-taking behavior, carelessness, and being too tired. For almost any two things in life, an inability to keep one in good order will most likely predict the other.
A relative of mine used the Shuttle last month.

It managed to arrive 30 minutes early for the pickup, yet about 30 minutes late for one of the passengers in the shuttle, who barely able to make their flight.

I've used them once before and the experience was close to what you describe - absurdly long ride for what should have been a 35-minute breeze.

This guy argues that "instagram brows" are drag queen brows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVvhWQVbR-g. He's a makeup artist and criticizes it from the standpoint that drag is hyper feminine on a masculine face, so while women can (and probably should) draw inspiration from it, the general technique and shapes aren't appropriate for women. It's more artistic commentary than anything about the freedom to do it or politics of it.

Here's another video I ran across looking for that one where he demos and criticizes apps that influences use on videos to get clear skin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1lovMzixm0

At least this one has a direct title. The other "but what if we ignore thermodynamics for a moment" articles that pass by HN sometimes bury the lede a bit.
It might be some people's reason. I got to a point where I couldn't even get decent 2D X behaviour, and DSDT configs for laptops stopped working, or even depended on Linux to get them working. It was a signal. Van Jacobsen dropping primary development of his TCP work in BSD and moving to Linux was another signal to me, maybe some others.

Overwhelmingly I think desktop support and the Ubuntu/LTE effect did it: FreeBSD demanded more of you, to get it to work. The working outcome I still like, but commodity UNIX is just simpler from OSX, or from Ubuntu. And vendors back it enough to mean you can get more things to work, more quickly, closer to the cutting edge. I am pretty sure I will get a working Linux desktop on any laptop I plausibly buy next time. I believe 80% of things will work fine in FreeBSD but the last 20% (Synaptics driver, fingerprint driver, TPM driver, blob-ridden WiFi Driver...) are going to be hard.

I use SuperShuttle pretty much all the time. I understand why the service is widely disliked. Most people expect a predictable shared ride with least surprises. The pick up is predictable but not the ride itself. Sometimes it's like 3-4 stops and the whole thing takes a long time.

On the other hand, I have tried uber shared ride from airports and it's way worse (at SFO). The rides keep getting cancelled. Late at night, you have to keep re-booking or do a non-shared ride for a very high price. Atleast with super shuttle, pick up is never an issue.

No chunked support. Well, if ever I use this (and... I do have a pressing use for something like this), that will be a PR I'll send in, probably using async.h[0] to allow handlers to be asynchronous.

Also, it's no fair to compare this server's performance to nginx if this server has no TLS support: you'll have to setup a reverse proxy, and then what will that be?

The lack of URI parsing is not a big deal for me, but it'd be nice.

Windows server log system for status server
Your modern Intel chip only has 48 addressable virtual address bits. The recent Ice Lake processors support 57 bits. I deal daily with Python processes that have "6.1t" in the "resident" column in top. Hitting the 48-bit 256 TiB limit isn't science fiction to me. I can already hit that with a moderate amount of effort (by memory mapping ~100 large kv-stores). It isn't that I need to do it, but I could imagine that someone does.

It is well and proper that Intel rounded up to 64 bits. It should serve us well for the next 40ish years, which is good enough for my professional lifetime at least.
That sounds backwards. If my ad blocker fails and I'm forced to see an ad, I want it to be as irrelevant as possible to minimize its effect.
One of the things economics is pretty sure about nowadays is that it doesn't matter who you tax, it matters who is more flexible. If employers can fire you and hire someone to replace you easily they'll be able to pass on most of the cost of the tax. If you could have your pick of jobs you can make your employer pay most of the new tax even if technically it's a tax on employees.

Ask essentially any at least minimally competent expert in economics and they'll tell you it doesn't matter who hands the money to the government (although they might call it the relative elasticity of supply and demand dictating tax incidence). They may all be wrong, but your phrasing gives me the impression you haven't considered this and came up with a good counterargument.
They get told to fuck off.. Sort of employees own fault.

> I found it horrendous to find a job after graduating. It took in excess to 500 tailored applications and 6 months to get anything at all.

Honestly, six months isn't that long. I've spent that long looking for a job. But I found one. And furthermore, getting a job in physics at all is the whole point of grad school. If that isn't a success condition for you, of course you shouldn't go to grad school. If you want money, be a chemical engineer or write software.

And this doesn't make you look good:

>4 years doing a physics PhD in the UK, almost all my experiments failed (in the building managers cranked up the heating/air con so the temperature was fluctuating +-5 degrees throughout the day and all carefully aligned optical components couldn't be kept aligned, etc way rather than the expected effect is weak), 30 mins with a supervisor once every other month, only person in group other than supervisor, etc.

I've been in two grad programs and had close experience with another three. Grad school is supposed to be self-directed. Unfortunately a lot of students show up with no communication skills and aren't helped in building them. But you can't self-direct without communicating. Especially not in science.

And everything about this paragraph points to a lack of effective and timely communication from your end. No contact with advisor? Advisor is busier than you are. You email first. Building manager stupid? Tell them off. No others in group? Email someone at another university. No response? Try someone else. You sit in a room and work alone, you lose.

Those are all things I wish I had done when I was in a PhD program, of course.

I actually am not bothered by your transgressions. But I’m not bothered by a car rolling through a stop sign either. It was more of a “pot calling kettle black scenario” that I thought was curious because a cyclist was trying to enforce a petty offense while also committing petty offenses.

It’s hard for me to understand the situation of all other drivers. So I’m not going out of my way to judge them when I have incomplete information. If a driver is doing something reckless or dangerous I will try to prevent it by alerting authorities.

I’m more in favor of eliminating minor traffic offenses and having police work on important issues. Or even free a community up to not have as many police and perhaps have more teachers or other civil servants.
Edit: I am possibly wrong here, and confusing this with an issue that was reported earlier
I've come across this issue in some tools in neuroimaging which allow you to make sub-voxel super-resolution volumetric inferences based on a trained model. This is all fine and good if you experimetal population matches the training population, but that is rarely the case in disease/disorder/developmental neuroscience. If you cant see it in your data then its only possible if the assumptions hold.
Interestingly, the guy who rear ended me was in a 30-year-old pickup and had a suspended license.
The problem is that you’re likely imagining an idealistic home farm scenario. My great grandparents had a farm, a couple cows, few horses, some pigs, many chickens etc.

Those animals lived the life you describe. Pampered, taken care of, room to roam, and then swiftly killed because fear sours the meat. They’d kill maybe one cow per year, 2 or 3 pigs. Many chickens.

An 800kg cow produces ridiculous amounts of meat. They’d give it away to their entire extended family because no way they’d eat it all in a year.

But meat you buy in a supermarket comes from factories. Their living conditions are the absolute minimum you can get away with to keep the animal healthy enough to sell its meat. Ridiculous things like keeping chickens in cages then throwing them out in the sun for a week so you can get that “pasture raised” label. At that point they’re too weak to even walk around because their muscles didn’t develop enough and their genetic mutants with oversized breasts.

that shit ain’t cool and we should do what we can to get better laws
There are lots of youtube videos of talking (and swearing) crows.

It's more likely to happen with parrots (since they can legally be kept as pets and interact with humans more closely), but crows have the brainpower for it.
Ah, SuperShuttle. Great idea, poor execution. Back in 2011, one 10pm ride home (from a very nice trip to Kauai), the driver was apparently dozing off during the ride, and veering into the opposing lane - this happened multiple times and he was resentful to anyone who corrected him.

I bet during that ride lost their business for good for every single passenger on that ride.

The 'X' I was under with MDMA was a feeling I can reach when I'm in a loving relationship and have had my needs met. I don't need a pill to get there, but knowing all the meaning and work I put into getting to a relaxed and contented atmosphere can be bought for a few dollars a pill fundamentally changes what those feelings are worth and mean for the worse.

The feeling of bliss should come from a successful relationship with others, not some drug.

The author of that piece, Jia Tolentino, has a collection of essays called Trick Mirror. This quote pretty aptly describes the transition to the social-media-driven internet:

“At ten I was clicking around a web ring to check out other Angelfire sites. At twelve I was writing five hundred words a day on a public LiveJournal. At fifteen I was uploading photos of myself in a miniskirt on Myspace. By twenty-five, my job was to write things that would attract, ideally, a hundred thousand strangers per post. Now I’m thirty, and most of my life is inextricable from the internet, and its mazes of incessant forced connection — this feverish, electric, unlivable hell.”

I will not say i understand it, but when an MRI aquires an image it is a rich k-space dataset. This data is then reduced to a single number (ie intensity) for each voxel in a MR image. Usually the k-space data is discarded after it is used to predict the voxel's intensity.
