Actually you're right. It's been a while (almost ~2years) so I didn't fully remember.

The car did NOT connect to the phone Hotspot, iirc, and that was one of the things that irked me. If a phone can connect to both wifi and 3G/LTE/whatever, why shouldn't a 50.000$ car? Especially if that car necessitates being online for its function.
I use my Raspberry pi to proxy any cloud video to my LG Smart TV, at native resolution, using rclone mount and Emby Media server. It's great. I can play 4K 100mbit videos from my cloud drives directly on the TV.

Side note, you can also use cloudflare free for dns, it's easy to setup.
I heard plex server is no longer supported on the Pi's though.

Once you jump up into the 4GB model and are looking at "home server" or "media server" type functionality, other solutions might be more attractive.

For example, used ASUS Chromeboxes are all over eBay from $50-$120 or so with a real SSD, x86-64, nice enclosure, etc. And they are easy enough to use a SeaBios ROM with for regular Linux instead of ChromeOS.

Edit: not disputing the Pi is king at lower memory / lower storage / lower cost points.

Udemy is one of the most corrupt / worst marketplaces I've ever encountered in the world -- for the folks who make courses at least.

For reference I've had some of my courses on their platform for years and it's not like I'm bitter because no one bought my courses. I've made a solid amount of money there over the years (6 figures).

The problem is they constantly sell your course for $10 and then take 50%+. Any traffic coming from Google results in them taking 50%+ too. If you opt out of their controlled pricing then your course will be hidden from all search results, in which case you'll make nothing because no one will be able to find you and that defeats the entire purpose of using a marketplace.

But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Udemy heavily hand tunes search results and cuts behind the scenes deals with instructors in certain niches, and when those deals happen, other people in the same niche get completely fucked over night.

For example, I was selling close to 50+ courses a day, then Udemy signed a contract with another person in the same niche (they told me directly). A few days after their course went live, the traffic to my course dropped by over an order of magnitude and my sales dropped by 20x. My graphs literally looks like a nose dive and I went from being able to sustain myself to having to stop creating courses.

The hilarious thing is my course is even higher rated than theirs and I've had people message me privately saying they took both courses and much preferred mine, yet it sits barely on the first page with a 4.7 average rating and like 1 sale a day with little to no traffic.

Every time I email Udemy asking about this they say they don't modify search results, but then every time I show them screenshots of very strange ranking behavior they change what they say and usually I get in a bump in sales for a day and then it drops off.

For the last few years I've spent a lot of time (and a lot of hard work) attempting to build my own audience instead of making new courses so I can drop Udemy all together. I'm not there yet, but one day I hope I'll never have to deal with that platform again and I wouldn't recommend using Udemy for both buying or selling courses to my worst enemy.

Oh, and one fun thing about being on Udemy too is, you can expect people to black mail you for unreasonable things. I've had more than 1 person on the platform email me saying things like I "MUST" help them with their custom project for free and if I don't then they they are going to give my course a 1 star review. I think due to Udemy's low prices, it attracts a certain type of person.
Nope, higher testosterone is not an predicting factor for violent crimes. If you measure a mixed group what you get is the same correlation as you would get with any other sex trait.

Many research papers has been written on the topic of testosterone and violence, including meta studies. The general conclusions is... there is a weak link between testosterone and violence. No cause and effect, but there is a small amplification of existing behavior, a common finding among endogenous studies.

The full reason is complex, but a simplification is that testosterone increase preexisting behavior in relation to social status hierarchy. It makes individuals spend more energy in defending their place on the ladder (spending more time looking at faces to recognize threat, increased response to threatening faces, more suspicion against ambiguous faces). This in turn has a link towards violence, but only in cultures where status is given as an reward for violence.

But there is an additional complexity that should be mentioned. A lot of the effects of hormones such as testosterone only happen as a result of changing levels of hormones rather than absolute values. The absolute value has less of a predictive effect then changes over a short time frame.

I'm glad I found this and of course I'm familiar with Big Clive (I watch his stuff regularly), EEVBlog and others mentioned here.I've had mixed success with low-cost LED lighting and often discuss that and related subjects on my own blog at https://tech.scargill.net as well as reading what others have to say. I get a lot of feedback on that subject.

I note comment below about Poundland. Related to that (I guess) is PoundStretcher and up to now, the highest failure rate I've had in LED mains lighting are the bargain LED lamps (Hitachi) from Poundstretcher (and I get samples or buy LED lights from China, Europe and various locations in the UK so I'm no stranger to the subject).

Haiku is full of little interesting design decisions like this. I would _love_ to have it running on a laptop (nearly there) or a Raspberry Pi (sadly, not likely to happen soon, because the initial ARM developments sort of shunned it and it's taken them a good while to re-focus).

Within the rule of law, yes — though the standards of international law were changed retrospectively after the event because of how obviously evil it was.

Transparently? I’m not sure. What would your standard be for that?

I’m not sure why you see your point as a relevant counter-argument though: the people voted, several minorities were systematically exterminated.
The forks are functionally better but missed the point. Dump1090 created this large community because the code was well written. Forks have a lot of mess inside. Anyway I updated my code a few weeks ago to switch to open street maps.
Someone else has mentioned that HVIF supports level-of-detail hinting.

This is renderer-dependent (as it's a relatively new feature), but SVG alsp supports altering the vector by scale via CSS media-queries. Oversimplified example:

<svg viewBox="0 0 48 48" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<style>@media (max-width: 24px) { .detail { display: none; } }</style>
<path d="basic icon here" />
<path class="detail" d="extra icon details here" />
</svg>
Even that is not that simple. You have set your browser to US-English and you expect your date to be displayed that way in the application, but you see something completely different because your OS happens to be set to French.
No, it's legitimate. Google is the last company that needs marketing gimmicks, let alone ones based on outrage.
Predicting is absolutely key. If you've been around the Waymo cars they horribly manage simple situations. They're VERY safe because they take no risk, but that won't work at scale. "What's that? Stop wait..., what's that? stop... wait wait wait"

They're very jerky at intersections where there's even a mild amount of uncertainty and really only go when it's very clear. It reminds me of lots of first time drivers reacting to new situations where safe is the best way forward. But if we had pure first time drivers, we'd be a gridlock at even a mild amount of traffic that enters and leaves the roadway.

Looking forward to this next set of 5 years. Hopefully us drivers will get replaced in 10? maybe?
Signal basically trusts on first connection where you trust the Signal company to do something with an SMS to link your identity with your phone number. After that you have a fingerprint (they call it a "safety number") if you want to check to see if you are still talking to the same entity. It will warn you if the number changes.

So how different that is from Conversations depends on how much you trust the Signal company and the phone company. In either case you really have to check the fingerprint, just like with everything. The issue is inherent to secure communications and can not be avoided with any sort of improved user interface.

Adversarial approach to driving results in staying at home, because you're likely to be rammed by a bad driver from behind, and you should almost never brake and drive always as fast as possible. Alternatively always stop when you see any pedestrian on the walkway, because they will drive in front of your car.

Driving is cooperative not adversarial, even certain classes of illegal behavior are predictable.

>A truly general framework will be tough, because of the different nature of different types of content.

I've been thinking for years what it would take to create a general framework like that, and I think we're in the middle of a language revolution like the one in the 80's, that will end-up creating such new system; all the pieces are in place, it just need one project to integrate the best parts and take off.

My ideal solution would integrate:

- the programming model of a spreadsheet (reactive functional programming), useful for building models;

- interactive graphics like those in explorable explanations, integrated with the data models stored in the spreadsheet;

- a good templating library with a visual designer and auto-generated markup, for building visual components based on the models;

- and an outliner storage model with "external reference" transcluded nodes, to build and evolve projects from the tool itself, without an external IDE.

Several companies are very close, but none of them include all these pieces, as some of them come from programming language design and others from user interaction; right now, only a very senior interdisciplinary team would know how to integrate all them in a single unified approach.

Yeah ... I'm not quite getting the same hostility in the air when it concerns US corporations accused of doing exactly the same. Or people defending something as despicable as US Adtech. It's like people sometimes forget they're people, whether it's being fed by the propaganda machine, or being from China, or both.

Literally the same situation happens, when FB employees post from an anonymous account and defend Facebook.

Reactions are quite a bit more reserved, if not always nice or believing. They will get pointy questions, but they are expected to be treated with respect. Sometimes HN mods even remind people of this.

I think it's actually pretty disgusting how forgiving a large part of the HN crowd is, when they do it for US companies. It's just the big X-word. Hostility against those who are even suspected of doing it for the US media enemy du jour.

Now of course FB is a finger of the hand that's feeding you the very idea that Huawei is doing it more than USFAANG. (who, coincidentally, also are monitoring you as you speak)

Morgan Stanley to Buy E-Trade for $13B
I would say not really, apart from the fact that they both fund individuals or projects at the earliest possible stage.

EF is in-person and more focused on matching co-founders and forming teams. You need to have a project for Pioneer, while EF accepts people based on their profile/interviews.

You can say that all accelerators are pretty similar: you get investment, listen to some speakers, attend office hours, etc. So what matters in the end is the network of people running the program and participating in it.
They buy with the expectation that there is a relatively quick turn to "expose value". So lots of cut-throat, short term, etc, decisions post purchase.
> HVIF does have level-of-detail hinting

Yeah, the Icon-O-Matic application documentation[0] has some more info on this.

From the site:

> With the LOD you control the visibility of a shape depending on its size.

> That way, you can leave away details of an icon that look good on a bigger icon, but maybe not so much on its smaller version.

> The LOD is not only for leaving out detailing shapes, but also to e.g. change the stroke width at different sizes, if you feel that's needed.

> Simply duplicate a shape, make your changes and set both of their LOD settings to show either one or the other.

Looks like somewhat similar to CSS media queries.

Edit: Looks like[1] SVG has a similar feature too.

I will say it:

Gender topics have reached a point of dogmatic idiocy that is only shadowed by the theories itself. Some think it to be the antithesis to religious dogmatic thought, and maybe it was at first, but it has long since looked into the abyss as it seems.

Not a bad short term business decision but I doubt it will net Google many points in the long run. Although they certainly already had their missteps with race.
>I recommend everyone still using the ancient ones like Unreal and Unity to switch to it, at least on new projects.

The last reason you'd want to switch to a new game engine or framework is because it's newer.

And, while I like Godot, the implication that it can replace Unity (much less Unreal) at this point is just ludicrous for anything but bare minimal toy projects.

>You can script it in pretty much whatever language you want.

Yes, no and maybe?

Someone has to write the interface for each language and be willing to update it with each version of Godot, and all existing documentation and tutorials reference GDScript and maybe C#. There are language forks out there but I'm unaware of any projects being completed with them, so their stability and viability is questionable.

It's about anchoring your knowledge/trust. If you start with zero data, you're saying that it's enough to just fetch that record. How to do that? You need to query full nodes specifically for the block that contains your record. But how do you know it is part of the "real" blockchain? They could provide you fake block - even faking whole history, just to fake your record is there.

That is not possible when you are querying many full nodes for current node, without telling them what you are looking for. They cannot return different results based on your query. You can trust that one piece of information - newest block.

In order to verify validity of the record, you need the block containing that result and checking that it is in history of the current block. That requires fetching O(n) blocks. Keep in mind that you need to trust just the head - even if someone wanted to provide you fake history, they are not able to, as it is infeasible to create block matching specific hash.

But instead of having linear block chain (corresponding to list datatype) you can have a Merkle tree (corresponding to tree datatype), where it is possible to compute hash of each node having just its two children. You can anchor your knowledge in the hash of the root (e.g. by having all nodes provide you the same value). Than anyone can prove you in a trustless way, that the tree contains specific leaf: by providing way to verify the hash of all nodes on the path from the leaf to the root. That requires O(log n) data, compared to O(n) in linear blockchain.
Mainly just a fun prank to change the icons without breaking stuff.

The performance use case is most significant to me. But I’m not sure why the OS wouldn’t look up all the icons used in a folder and only read them once for reuse. So having a thousand Word documents would only need one read of the Word icon.

I think it’s a nice packaging feature to not need to distribute a separate icon file, rather just include the icon in the file directly.
Isn't elo pretty bad for subjective/multidimensional matters?
Legally, no.

Socially, though, yes. The generally accepted limit on age differential in romantic relationships is ten years - 50 year olds shouldn't date younger than 40, 40 than 30, etc. While it's perfectly legal and possible to have a healthy relationship with a wider age gap, it's not socially acceptable.
> But much more interesting to me is a lossless domain-specific compressor, which I’m not aware of any examples of. (Please tell me if about some if you know them!)

A bit academic, but if you check out this paper from 2015 https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.04623.pdf on a neural network trained on binarised MNIST (28x28 pixel images), Table 2 quotes entropy figures of 116.815 after converting to bits, which would be 28*28/116.815=6.71x compression (if used as a compressor)
Automatic gender detection should certainly not be used for data entry where the data is of any real consequence (even if we ignored trans/non-binary people), simply due to the fact that it can't be proven to be perfect.

This isn't correct. It was thrown out because the Democrats lacked standing. It wasn't ruled on the merits: a standing argument means you are not eligible to bring a case yourself.

It's not even a sensible argument: salary is a nominal sum the government pays the president. Emoluments are gifts from foreigners. There's no logical relationship between salary and gifts.
