e.g. the NHL has people recording plays second by second (not just minute) and photographers of course. But those people aren't the commentators, or the people in the studio. And the 6min and 30min condensed game recaps just have the commentary from the clips they include; they could make more sense with a generated track.

Pre-authorization sounds good, but unfortunately a lot of the time it isn't possible. For example, when I was in the ER they gave me a few choices on how they could do stiches on a big cut... But there is definitely no way I could compare the costs! I just ended up paying a $500 bill a few months later.

This is probably the most expected news I have read in a long time. Of course a 20 foot well is creating a marked for 20 foot ladders. If this was Slashdot I guess the comments would be "Nothing to see here. Move along"
The same reason that guns result in 1% of deaths but you hear about them constantly. It makes for a good news program.
I’ve heard of this before, but part of me thinks also: How many people are getting away with fraud because they are utilizing Benfords law in order to make their data appear more normal? Or is there another attribute that can’t be accounted for when aiming for that?
A lot (most?) of these are skipping “hit to target” entirely. They are just testing if previously identified drugs also work for the virus.
The underlying paper was previously discussed on hn here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22132867

Note: The published paper is titled "Up to 2B times acceleration of scientific simulations with deep neural search", which can raise some hackles, including mine. Doesn't prove anything but still.
Not what I'm up to presently, but I would advise you to not worry about title and really shoot for company size and sector. In a nutshell, big companies hire specialized cogs, small companies hire general purpose cogs. If you want to be able to roam about and do everything, go for companies that are small but need the skills of a generalist to get them going.
Example of even how the most absurd successes often have nailed the important details really well.
This sounds like more of an argument for smaller, niche communities. I agree with this. How can you contain all of humanity's diversity of opinion and experience into a single "platform" with coherent norms? You can't. It's a fool's errand. Small communities do manage their own norms in a way that is consistent with the values of their members, and they develop their own methods for doing so; there is no need to create a legal enforcement mechanism.
Television has been paying for programming through ads for decades now. Do you think that's not a 'real' business model? A good business model is one that makes someone 7 figures a year for cloning solitaire. It might not be the most enjoyable gaming experience, but if purity of solitaire is what you want, then there are plenty of paid alternatives.
I have other more important rules I need to memorize with those brain cells, that I don't need to voluntarily choose to give myself more problems that require me to memorize ridiculous rules and obscure special edge cases to look out for all the time, that inexplicably screw me if I happen to slip up and forget to apply them. I stopped playing "step on a crack, break your mother's back" years ago, when I was old enough to actually have somewhere I needed to be.
I heard that ordinary MRI machines can't ever be powered off or they heat up and the expensive liquid helium boils off. How does this particular machine overcome this issue? Seems like it would be a huge problem for a portable MRI
Not to refute you but my understanding was that many people simply assumed something was wrong if only because of the consistency of returns he claimed were pretty much impossible.

IIRC at one point his numbers showed on a month to month basis losses only 4% of the time.
Apollo 11 was a little less than twelve years after Sputnik-1.

The rush to get people into space and men on the moon was because of politics. If Musk wants people on Mars, he doesn't need bodies in orbit, he needs ships capable of carrying bodies in orbit. It's fine (and unnecessary) if they're unmanned. Which SpaceX has already done, docking with the ISS. NASA and the USSR were hasty putting people into orbit because it was a political necessity, not because it was important to the goal of developing ICBMs, surveillance satellites, or whatever else. They each needed to be the first to put an object in orbit, a human in orbit, a human on the moon, etc. Musk needed cheap, reusable spaceflight as an intermediate goal and a maned Martian capable profile as goal number 2. He doesn't need to take his picture at all the road signs along the way.

Musk at some point said he wanted to launch a human toward Mars by the 2024 launch window. I think this is optimistic, but it's not that far off. I would be surprised if they don't launch in time for the 2029-ish launch window.
I believe this would eliminate many uses of large list rendering libraries (such as react-virtualized/react-window). That's pretty neat.

The same caveats seem to be present for strict containment mode though. The width/height of a strictly contained element wont't update if its contents change.
Absolutely. But, this is Zuckerberg's full statement:

>I do think that there should be regulation on harmful content ... there’s a question about which framework you use for this.

>Right now there are two frameworks that I think people have for existing industries - there’s like newspapers and existing media, and then there’s the telco-type model, which is ‘the data just flows through you’, but you’re not going to hold a telco responsible if someone says something harmful on a phone line.

>I actually think where we should be is somewhere in between.

Here is a charitable interpretation: he's considering how it should be regulated, not what the company exactly is or should be. And I think his statement there is correct. In practice, many people do treat Facebook like a sort of newspaper. I definitely think they shouldn't, but it's a fact.

He seems to be saying that, as a result, some kind of regulation similar to newspaper-targeted regulation is necessary. But, at the same time, it's certainly not exactly like a newspaper, where content is produced and published exclusively by the source. Facebook doesn't even explicitly curate content (or so they claim), let alone create it; they try to let curation occur automatically through algorithms.

This absolutely may be a duplicitous attempt at humility on his part, but, regardless of the underlying intent, I think his public message is that Facebook is in a unique position where it can influence a lot of people to believe certain claims and ostensible facts like a newspaper would, and yet is not an author of content in the way a newspaper is. I think he's trying to allude to the additional responsibility they have and the risk they pose which telcos don't share, and that there's a need to regulate them more strictly than telcos as a result. He's saying they're a telco that should be treated with some of the regulatory gravity of a newspaper, rather than that they're a newspaper that should be treated like a telco.

So I think people are kind of interpreting it in reverse. He's trying to sound humble and accountable - perhaps to misleadingly deflect from his probable true personal belief that they should have as minimal regulation as humanly possible - rather than arrogantly proclaiming they should be immune from regulation. (One can't rule out the possibility that he's being sincere, but of course that's not exactly his reputation.)

tl;dr I think he's likely being sneaky rather than shameless.
> but the system would fail them if they did

I'm not convinced on this point. Over 90% of Americans have health insurance[1]. Sure, insurance might not cover every dime of every bill, but I can't imagine falling ill is an instant and universal cause for financial ruin like people claim.

Disclaimer: I've been lucky enough to not have to use my health insurance for anything serious. But I have had to use other kinds of insurance (car, home) and by and large it's been fine. We hear horror stories a lot because they're sensational and they sell well, but people continue to buy insurance because it actually does provide value.

If your skills aren't valuable, then yes, they won't be worth much. If you have invested in developing skills that are valuable, then you have all the leverage in the world. But even if you flip burgers, if you can convincingly commit to being reliable you can command a %15-20 premium.

The power to walk away is the greatest power of all. But if the chips are down, you have to eat, and so your BATNA is poor. This means having a job is the best time to look for the next one. If you need one, you're a price taker. If you don't, you are the price maker.

The hardest thing to accept is that it's mostly attitude.
So they basically let you not get paid for a while? What incredible generosity!
If I understand it correctly, the machine uses permanent magnets rather than a giant solenoid.

The magnetic field is way less strong (0.064 Tesla compared to at least 1 in most machines), but the machine doesn't have to generate heat while producing a magnetic field
I think fixed machines are like 1.4 - 3 Tesla field strength. The portable one is like .05 Tesla... So maybe it doesn't even use superconducting magnets.

But you can get high temperature REBCO tape now and get super conductors that can be cooled with liquid nitrogen.
People create new spaces, etc, but if you are able prevent the formation of echo chambers that is a victory.

Strange for that wikipedia page to not contain a single graphic representation of what's being described.
I think your parent is basically referencing the fact that you can find large groups of people who share your views, no matter what they are. Nervous about vaccines? Great, you can find literally thousands of people who affirm your fears, and you needn't even speak to anyone who doesn't. That's what's new, that's how scale changed things.
> We have a right to exist too.

You do.

On a separate note:

1. From a technical point of view it's poorly-designed software for 2020. For example: you can't measure how many of "we" are refrigerators. You apparently don't reflect about how that may open up exploits to a wide variety of attackers in "their own space" for the "anything goes" crowd. (Same for HN for that matter.)

2. From a practical point of view this type of software serves as a poor entry point for a persuasive free speech argument. I much prefer using E2EE messaging apps as the entry point for a strong defense of free speech in the digital era. We know bad actors have used them and will likely use them in the future. Nonetheless, the rest of us use them and will fight to continue to do so on principle (e.g., for security in a weaponized internet, for privacy, for research purposes, etc.). Those principles are at the forefront, as is the fear that will be used in the counter-argument and which we must resist. We know the value, we know the cost, and we can argue the point clearly.

If we instead start the argument with poorly designed, buggy software that requires a birds-eye view of the network in order to properly assess when and how it's being exploited we're going to be fighting on two fronts. (As well as ignoring the risks of the design as I believe your comment does.)
... no? I mean, of course not - it costs money to maintain and upgrade train stations as well.

But I am confused about your comment. There are two distinct statements. X = "Adding capacity to the sky is easy because it's empty. It's essentially just about scaling air traffic control systems." and Y = "Rails need constant work to keep them in good condition".

I don't believe X is correct, and I gave a counter-example about adding capacity to London.

But that doesn't mean I think Y must necessarily also be invalid. While it seems you interpret my comment to mean that Y is correct? And I don't understand how one can draw that inference. So I don't understand the point of your comment.
Because the 'false' in "falsely yelling fire" is subjective and has its origins in the suppression of legitimate political speech.

I’d say Facebook does much more than have limited editorial control. They dictate what you see, malicious Intent or not
I didn't realize that implementing a screen saver for Mac back then required such low-level hacking. I guess that shouldn't be surprising, if the OS didn't have built-in support for screen savers.

The interview briefly mentions that the same company, Berkeley Systems, developed a screen magnifier for people with low vision. They also developed a screen reader, OutSpoken [1], for blind people. Utilities like those also required low-level hacking.

Just remember, the route prefix you use to define the CloudFront behavior will also be added to the request sent to the origin server. So in this case, all routes defined by the API must be prefixed with `/api/`. This makes it hard to refactor existing APIs with many routes and dependencies, but works great in a greenfield scenario.

(Of course, you can rewrite the URL on the fly via Lambda@Edge but that's a PITA to maintain)
Another mesmerizing screen saver is Electric Sheep, which just keeps getting better and better over time, as it evolves in response to user's feedback:

Electric Sheep is generative crowdsourced evolutionary art that enables viewers to vote for their favorite "sheep" animations to send them off to the pasture to breed with other user's favorites with genetic cross-over and mutation.

So it just gets better and better, in response to what people actually enjoy!

Once I fell asleep while watching Star Trek Deep Space 9 on Netflix, and then half woke up after the Electric Sheep screen saver has kicked back in but I didn't realize it, so my brain struggled for several minutes trying to make sense of the never-ending wormhole sequence that I though was an out-of-control shuttlecraft lost in space!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15668253

I have spent so many hours staring at Electric Sheep, thinking and wondering about how it works, that I finally looked it up, and found the papers about it!

It took less time to read the papers than it took to stare at the screen all day tripping out and wondering, but I like to do both.

The Flame Algorithm

Flames are algorithmically generated images and animations. The software was originally written in 1992 and released as open source, aka free software. Over the years it has been greatly expanded, and is now widely used to create art and special effects. The shape and color of each image is specified by a long string of numbers - a genetic code of sorts.

This really reeks to me of trying to shoehorn Rust into the solution rather than it being an organic fit to the problem space.

I don’t see the value in this level of thinking here. Why should any developer go through this much hassle when they have a perfectly good solution that, really, I’m not seeing any discussion about this that actually highlights issues in the approach to using ago for this sort of thing
Well, good you were here, now you have heard about radixes as hashes. ;) It's good to see and understand the connections and relationships between these things.

You're right that a radix doesn't scramble the key, but the quote you've picked is a qualified subset of hash functions. That paragraph is attempting to define a practical/good hash function that is used in specific ways. Not all hash functions scramble the bits, and the Wikipedia article is very clear about this if you read the whole thing.

You skipped over two important sentences that came before it, and a whole sub-section on radix hashes after it:

"A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values." (very first sentence, emphasis mine.)

"In some cases, the key is the datum itself." (Right before the 'scramble' quote)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function#Radix_conversion...

String hashing is sometimes similar to radix as well: "Simplistic hash functions may add the first and last n characters of a string along with the length" and I've seen string hashes in production that do only the first n characters and stop. That kind of hashing is frequently useful in small, embedded systems, video games, etc. where you have a limited set of strings and a good idea of how well distributed the keys are.
Q: Anyone knows if there are any service that is equivalent of 'This Voice Does Not Exists'?

Google Text-to-Speech has good Wavnet based voices[0], but the focus seems to be generating human like voice intonation, accents but not generating infinite (or large) set of different voice characters.

Then there are services like Lyrebird[1] where focus is on cloning a real person's voice (ex. your own).

But there doesn't seem to be any which creates fictitious voice characters which is totally new every time (synthesizing pitch, tone, accents, intonations); same as perhaps what GAN does when generating 'deepfake faces'.

Because there's hundreds of nuances and circumstances that can affect how much a business needs to pay someone to secure their service, and not all of it can be compared apple to apple.

Real world example: I'm paid almost twice the market rate for my current job. Why? Not because I'm better at it than my peers, but because when I started, I opted for more RSUs (public company) instead of base salary, and the company has grown tremendously. Folks who didn't take the same gamble have a much lower total comp now. Years ago no one knew this was going to happen, so my base salary was lower. If the market hadn't shifted the way it did, should I have been able to complain others are paid more than me? Seems like a gamble with no drawback which is a bit unfair for the others, no?

Some folks opt for more time off. People with the same title end up at a different place within the salary bands based on countless factors, many of which are very subjective (and if you put too many titles, then people will just negotiate the title instead of the salary, effectively doing the same thing).

People are also generally biaised when talking about themselves and aren't very good at fully understanding the context around the salary of others.

All these factors mean that an objective salary based purely on quantifiable factors won't end up 1:1 with how good people are at their job. Thus we have negotiations.

And then there's environmental factors. If companies aren't allowed to negotiate, you end up with a situation like this:

Company Foo pays 150k for a Sr Eng. Bob is paid 160k at his current job, and Foo is trying to poach him. Bob asks Foo for 165k. Without negotiations, Company Foo can either:

A) Tell Bob tough luck (which in the current market is a bad move. Software Engineers don't grow on trees)

B) Give all their Sr Eng (potentially hundreds or more) a 15k raise. But then the same thing will happen to Company Bar... When does it stop? Should everyone at all tech companies but paid precisely 150k? What if Company Foo and Bar are very different and why? It's very subjective.

To say women can't negotiate is the most bizarre and offensively sexist trope I have ever encountered in acceptable discourse. I"m not necessarily making a direct accusation, but we should acknowledge that the very idea is un-serious.
I just finished a yoga retreat, on which they organized the group on Facebook. At the intro the karma yogi requested our phone numbers for WhatsApp, which, like FB, I refuse to participate in
(I happily provided my number, though)

You know what? A bit of an obstacle for the organizers and slightly more hassle for me (for example: I'll have to mail one of the participants so that he mails me the pictures shared on WhatsApp).

Else than that? A complete no-brainer for all involved.

I totally get why those tools are used to help organize such an event. They totally got why I refuse to come close to anything Facebook with a vengeance and were happy to work around it.

As an added bonus I was the only one in the group who shut the phone off on Sunday evening and didn't touch it again until the retreat finished the following Friday.

If people really believe that I'm an antisocial hermit, which cannot be trusted? Well, fuck them very much!
