I don’t know what level you’re playing at, but at the Diamond+ level, I run into cheaters almost every night. They’re blatant and 30s of spectating will prove that. I also watch a lot of pro streams and they have the same experience.
I'm somewhat surprised at the responses for this.

I believe your issue can be easily solved - have supervisors wear a distinctive color from a non-supervisor. For example let's say it's yellow.

OK so now you have yellow wearing supervisors and everyone else. To resolve the issue you have described acquire a month or so of footage, with labels per minute describing how many yellow wearing supervisors and how many people (in total) there are.

So the data you have is:

1. Yellow wearing supervisors

2. Total amount of workers on the floor

Then with this data you can train a network to do what you're describing pretty easily. Assuming there are a lot of workers on the floor, trying to do person detection or face detection would require too much data. Just have a uniform enforced and train on the colors/presence.
That's a bold prediction,

I predict that gaming could see a huge uptick in crypto-currency usage. Could you imagine a game like Grand Theft Auto or World of Warcraft utilizing a crypto-currency rather than an in-game artificial currency? You could create entire in-game economies with real life value. People could actually make a living by playing games full time as scary as that sounds.

Could you imagine the moral implications of someone robbing you of crypto-currency in a game like GTA or some survival game?

I just think there's some very creative use-cases for crypto-currency that will pop up over the next decade.
It's probably not that they're much more expensive to make, but there are much better economies of scale with a 16:9 ratio... the same panels work for TVs too
Around three years ago, bestbuy realized that they would need to make some sort of change. They did and their stores got better. It still isn't a replacement for what Fry's used to be.
> he said they were told no

This is what companies that are going out of business tell their employees in order to keep enough people around to help liquidate/pack up when it's time to shut down.

Curious to know if employee paychecks are still arriving on time and clearing.
This is so silly. So activists don't want ICE to use Github. Great, they can just use

- Gitlab
- Google Cloud Code
- Bitbucket
- Sourceforge
- Azure Repos
- Oracle Developer Cloud
- IBM Cloud
- AWS Code Commit
- Adobe Cloud Manager Repository

There are so many options and a lot of these companies love to work with the US Government
CUDA/SPIR-V "cores" are not true cores - they're the equivalent of CPU execution units (ALU's). You don't really "group threads together" on a GPU, so much as use a single real "thread" to execute a whole bunch of computations in lockstep, using a lightly-extended SIMD model. That's the only way you can make such a huge amount of execution units/ALU's useful, and not all domains are well-suited to this approach. (Which is one reason why a lot of code still runs on plain multicore CPU's.)
> because tech people are so idealistic

Unless idealism is the strategy to combat idealism?
I think that protocols that are simple and open should be used, rather than very complicated and messy ones. Text-based also helps since it allows to use without specialized software. IRC is designed like this and I think it is good.
> Almost all the floor people are paid in part on commission.

Yeah, every time I picked my item off the shelf, if anyone was nearby they would grab it from me and say "I need to give you a quote."

The first few times, I dutifully followed them to their terminal hoping that the "quote" might be a buck or two off the sticker price. Nope. The quote was for exactly the same price.

After a while I got in the habit of saying "just browsing", and as soon as they left the aisle I would grab my item and make a beeline out of that area.

One time I bought a $20 case for my compact camera. I told the guy I would be a while trying different cases to see how they fit. As soon as I picked one and started to walk away... Yes, you guessed it, "I need to give you a quote." And he wrapped it around my little case and taped it all over the place to make sure I wouldn't throw the quote away.
Who is going to choose who the good / bad people / companies / institutions are? Activists?

You cannot (even in good faith) deny certain groups access without undermining our societies. E. g. denying certain groups human rights is not acceptable. Even murderers have to have a fair trial and most countries don't allow the death penalty because human rights apply to everyone.

It's the same with open source. Once you deny access to certain groups, it's not _free_ anymore. It's politized. As a german I've learned a lot about where exclusion of certain groups and people lead. Who is the good guys? From my grandparents generation POV the bad guys where the "greedy jews" and they were the good. From my POV the reverse is true.

Values have to be universal, even if you don't like the other side. You don't have to like ICE, but either you stand with your values or you don't.
> I reserve the right to link to dipshits and crazies. I link to what piques my curiosity, what amazes me or what horrifies me. This includes you.

Awesome site. Thanks

> You might also look at it like: maybe I’ve friended these links. But instead of putting them in a big number that represents my friends—my 11 friends, for instance—I list my friends out neatly and try to coax you to meet them.

Perhaps there is no need for friending. For likes. For upvotes. For hashtags. For boosts. For trending. For rank. For followers. For an algorithm.

Perhaps linking—and spending time telling you why I linked—is good enough. Perhaps it’s superior!
Is that law ever enforced? I get packages from Amazon couriers and FedEx in my mailbox all the time and I've never heard of anyone going to jail for that. I can only imagine how much I'd get laughed at if I called the cops about a delivery person dropping a package off in my mailbox. Maybe I'd need to call the USPS Inspector General
Great guide - though unless I missed it I think this is missing the latest advancements around Transformers, BERT, ELMo, etc.

This stuff is pretty fresh, so it's understandable, but the NLP chapter would be greatly enhanced by covering these newer topics
This link to the list of Ethereum mining pools might help make more sense of that: https://www.poolwatch.io/coin/ethereum

As you can see there are ~570k workers contributing to ~79k mining addresses. A lot of the data you see about "distinct miners" might be pools rather than your loner GPU miner.
I first heard about Lisp from reading Paul Graham's articles, so naturally I learned about its history the same way.

In PG's essay introducing Bel, a new Lisp dialect, he mentions the origins of Lisp: "His goal was not to define a programming language in our sense of
the word: a language used to tell computers what to do. The Lisp
in his 1960 paper was meant to be a formal model of computation,
like a Turing Machine. McCarthy didn't realize it could be used on
computers till his graduate student Steve Russell suggested it."

Given how much research he's done on Lisp, I figured his interpretation of its history would be correct.

On the topic of trusting domains, big companies are not helping themselves. Lets use a big financial company as an example.

I recently got an email from them to check on a transaction that settled, the domain was:

https://click.SOMECOMPANYNAMEHEREinvestments.com/? ...

Their real domain is SOMECOMPANYNAMEHERE.COM but as you see they made a special domain just for email clicks. I thought at first this was a scam email, but then tried clicking and sorted out that it redirects to the real site and login.

But man you can't even easily trust real emails if you're paying attention, i dont know how regular people will defend against stuff like this.
I find it interesting that so many like Three Body that much! I found it an extremely poorly written book. I think that in the hands of a better writer it could have worked as a Kurt Vonnegut-style satire in the vein of The Sirens of Titans. Some interesting ideas here and there, but overall very disappointing. Mind you, I haven't read the sequels, and did not feel compelled to.
Sorry but it was a scenario I imagined and not something that happened in reality. I can't talk about some of the real-world scenarios that I am asked to consult on, so I made up a rather poorly thought-out one.
Yeah, the HP Envy 13 I use has a sharper display, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM, and twice as many cores for $100 cheaper than the 2019 MacBook Air.

It got crushed by an airline seat reclining but other than some slight warping it's fine, so the build quality is actually pretty decent on it.

The only things worse about the Envy are the tiny trackpad and the lack of OS X, but I prefer Ubuntu to OS X these days anyways.

Yeah, pretty sure there are multiple other ways to switch browser tabs, not a good reason to put PgUp/PgDn there. You can always map keys as well, but having hardwired keys right next to arrows make them a bit useless.

Thank you. But can we codify it in a mathematical language that can be a visual map? I chose Vedic astrology because to a certain extent the astronomy and math part of it is pretty well documented and authored.

How to extract the predictive pattern recognition aspects of it so the ‘intuition’ part of it can be understood?
They probably don't want to do it because then everyone will complain that the battery life is garbage. My specced out 16 GB MBP barely gets 4 hours without being plugged in.
A lot of discussion of best language, etc, is just bikeshedding. (See Parkinson's Law of Triviality) We talk about technologies we use because it's easier and safer than talking about the actual product.

Implementing something like what you describe, IMHO, would have the greatest positive impact on the health and welfare of Americans, of anything this century.

I have a friend who is very high up in one of the largest health insurance providers in the US, and I have often debated over the years with this person that same point, that the insurance layer is what creates the model for inefficiency, and abuse at the provider level ($5 Tylenol pill, $10 Band-Aid, minor treatments and return visits of dubious value, etc.), and that if we treated medical care as an ordinary consumer good, outside of the extreme emergencies that are bankruptigly expensive, things would be a lot better. The person I know at the insurance company doesn’t necessarily disagree either.
This. Been through two medical device companies that pivoted from clinical trials to product and the major hardships came from not fully understanding the money trail. In the UK the 'Cathedral' of the NHS means that the benefits may not be felt by the your customer.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium) – Elevation of Privilege to Potential RCE
Sorry, I thought I was replying to Someone1234, you are right you did not make such a claim.

Elon Musk settled charges with the SEC before this tweet happened.

Elon Musk "settled" contempt charges over this tweet with the SEC, in the sense that the SEC capitulated and agreed to no punishment whatsoever after some strong words from the court that barely fell short of a ruling against them...

I haven't been following any shareholder lawsuits closely, I'm willing to bet that there are none over this tweet though. This tweet did not move the market, and to the extent that it was incorrect or even plausibly inappropriate it was immediately corrected. I strongly suspect all shareholder lawsuits are over the previous "funding secured" tweet and tweets around that tweet in time (before any settlement with the SEC happened). That is not the same infraction as the tweet being discussed here.
Why would someone want an IR camera?

I can't find any information online about why that would be useful.
I guess it really depends. Any risk might be worth it depending on the benefits.

That said, if you're operating out of the EU, and are targeting EU customers, being GDPR compliant seems like a no-brainer. Especially since it can be built in from the beginning with far less effort and money than retrofitting for GDPR compliance later.

The same goes with accessibility. Building with it in mind is cheaper over the long term than fixing it later.

The key is that your business won't just lose customers over these kinds of issues, the business instead gains legal liabilities with attached fines, legal fees, and remediation costs. Even if the goal of a startup is only to be acquihired, the acquired liability might not be worth the gain of an employee or two for a large corporation.
The artist has a degree in philospophy, so he calls his art philosophy.

Is putting a ring on a tree to measure its growth (and highlight the lack thereof) any more "art" than "philosophy"?
Even regarding different species, we haven't intentionally wiped out very many of them and even engage in conservation efforts. We quite literally devote resources we could use to less advanced beings. This is antithetical to the philosophy governing the Dark Forest.

Now we could consider other earthly life to be a "close genetic relative" I suppose, but if we're capable of making that extension of our concept of self, then why not also extend it to other intelligent life?
I was put-off by the price of an e-bike, but noticed that the Xiaomi M365 electric scooter sometimes dips down to $299 online. It goes 15 mph and it has a range of about 10 miles with a 200 lb person on it (18 mile range if you go slow and don't weigh a lot).

It's fantastic, since buying it I've never ran a < 4 mile errand in my car. The scooter is easy to park / lock up, it gets down the road well, and I like that I'm so high up I can see everything.
Syntax matters. But...

1. Other things matter more. How a language scales to 100 programmers working on 10 million lines over 20 years, say, matters more (in some environments) than the syntax does. Syntax contributes to that. But syntax contributes to that precisely by being pretty vanilla, uninteresting syntax. More, sexier syntax makes a language worse for that environment. (I'm talking about go here. But I could make a similar argument for other languages in other environments.) Syntax matters as a means to an end; the end matters. Syntax where the end is syntax doesn't matter so much.

2. I suspect (and assert without proof) that peoples' brains work in different ways, and that a person finds languages easier or harder as those languages conform or conflict with the way the person thinks. Ruby syntax gives you a headache? And the problem isn't that you just need to learn Ruby better. But for every you, there's (at least one) someone who has the same issue with J/K/APL. And that's fine. People whose way of thinking matches APL should program in APL, and those whose way of thinking matches Ruby should program in Ruby. We don't need one language to rule them all. They each have their target niche and their target audience.
Seems fair. Dropping support doesn’t mean it won’t work anymore. Just that it’s not as tested (reading the RFC).

32bit MacOS was never used on x86 as far as I know. And even PPC 32bit was a very small number of machines a very long time ago. Not sure about 32bit iPads and iPhones.

But, I’ve never seen a project using rust on iOS. Does anyone have an example of this?
Jailbreaking is against DMCA laws (which by the way are pretty stupid; they should only account for cases when the locks are circumvented for piracy/malware purposes; but at least we got exemptions...), but there is an exemption that specifically allows jailbreaking.

Important to note however, that is a DMCA exemption, not an "EULA exemption" (used quotes because that term probably doesn't exist), the exemption ignores the DMCA law, not the EULA, which proves that the EULA isn't really legally enforceable, it's more of a threat from Apple "if you do that we won't give you support/service".
Hmm can you expand a bit by what you mean by “titles are accented”?

In my app’s settings, you can scroll down to fonts, padding and compactness and completely change them to your liking. Would this help?
This is the first thing that came to mind for me too! I loved VistaPro so much. I got a copy in one of those old programming books you used to buy with the CDs. It also came with PolyRay and some old-school VRML tutorials.
The tumbling was a reasonable interpretation of light curve data. But the data was limited, and something else may have been happening.
I'm surprised Microsoft would let them use that logo on a product not sold with Windows.
I had the same thought at the Fry's on Canoga in Woodland Hills, it felt like the only items left on the shelves were the things nobody would steal.

Sad to see them slip away, one of the joys was wandering the aisles looking for things I didn't know I needed/wanted.
It's for Windows Hello (facial recognition login).
If you're treating that number as accurate, then I'm running on a 896-core x86 computer.

As a comparison between GPUs and CPUs, each "CUDA core" is approximately equal to a SIMD lane on an x86 core. So 56 cores, times 16 lanes (AVX-512) per core, is 896 cores.
We have a system for determining these kinds of questions - the courts. It's not the open source community's responsibility to make sure other organizations are behaving ethically.

If people believe ICE has broken laws and violated human rights they should be pursuing a trial, not attacking the organization's ability to host Git repos.

Same here in CA, you had to wait in line forever, have them dig through your boxes taking everything out, then stand waiting for a manager to also come over and do the same thing and then approve it.

I think the most practical solution here is to train users not to use domain names and de-emphasize them in the UI (and URLs more generally). Which I hate as much as anyone here, but if I'm going to give my parents advice on how not to fall for a scam, telling them "Google the name of the bank [or whatever] and click on that link" seems like the most secure path.

Once security keys become ubiquitous, they should also provide some protection. But right now setting up 2FA for every site they use is impractical.
I think the courts have been pretty consistent in saying that the 1st Amendment applies to speech and press on the internet (although there is some interesting crossover with the 2nd Amendment, a la https://codeisfreespeech.com) Some things are a bit muddled when you have things like cloud providers and crossing borders, but the 4th Amendment certainly covers at least a subset of digital communications.
This may seem like a minor issue, but the downward firing speakers are a ridiculous choice for 2020. There are laptops that don't have compromises like these. Yes we can use headphones or pair an external bluetooth speaker, but sometimes it is nice to just have your laptop fill your hotel room with sound and you may not have these other accessories on hand.
Technically that 20% applies to both life and intelligent life. Of course I'm just playing devil's advocate -- there would certainly be fewer instances of intelligent life than life. We believe it took >4 billion years for intelligent life to evolve whereas life took hold pretty much immediately upon planet cooling. But it did happen, and we have a number of species of different Orders that are somewhat intelligent and able to use tools (crows, octopi, primates, dolphins), and it only took us ~5 million years, the ability to free our hands to manipulate things, and some natural disasters to get from where they are to where we are.

As you suggested, it is unlikely that a futurist from a newborn civilization would accurately predict what a million (or billion) years old advanced civilization would actually do, and I am also legitimately unaware of whether we have any reason to believe that such projects would be visible when we can barely make out the closest planets outside our solar system (and only indirectly via math). Or if someone blotted out an entire star, how would we know? We use a term called dark matter to fill in the 75% of the universe that we can't describe in conventional terms. As some people posit on this subject, do animals in a nature preserve know they are in a nature preserve? Doesn't look much different than their world did thousands of years ago aside from occasional ufo's flying overhead (planes) unless they stray toward the edges/out of the solar system.

Btw, I would have been one of the skeptics writing these comments three years ago pre-Nimitz release (in fact, if you go back far enough in my HN history I found some comments saying that if there was a greater intelligence it would just ignore us LOL https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=lend000&next=1418634...). If you study this incident and a whole plethora of other phenomena with an open mind, you'll find some pretty damn fascinating things from various places with different agendas and levels of credibility (it is certainly not 0 evidence) with significant implications.
Oh wow, so the arstechnica article is mistaken. This is great news.
