Technically, the %PDF doesn't have to occur at byte 0. But, like many others inferred, that pushes onward toward real world structure (vs. an academically correct but useless PDF).

If you want a fully covered example it'll need a trailer, xref and at least one obj reference. ...and there are TWO flavors of those (linearized and not). ...and flate coded and not.

Huh, what? It needs almost a million views, and takes 1-2 days to train on a GPU. I’m not sure where the “5 minutes” number comes from.

EDIT: I was referring to the last paragraph of section 5.3 (Implementation details), but maybe I’m misunderstanding how they use rays / sampled coordinates.

Very impressive visual quality. But it seems like they need a LOT of data and computation for each scene. So, its still plausible that intelligently done photogrammetry will beat this approach in efficiency, but a bunch of important details need to be figured out to make that happen.

Not really. Doom has enough of a brand name that the average person probably isn't going to say, "Great, now that I know a DRM-free version exists, I will pirate it!"

More likely, someone like me would just say, "Sweet! Now if I buy the game, I can get at a version that won't slow down my performance with all of the obnoxious DRM crap running in the background!"
While I 100% think these cops should be immediately fired and prosecuted, being innocent is not an excuse to resist arrest.

People are still having 200+ person weddings in Williamsburg as of this week. Absolutely crazy to me as a resident of the neighborhood:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/nyregion/Coronavirus-broo...

"Concern over the spread of coronavirus in Hasidic communities had already been raised by a series of large weddings held this week. On Tuesday, the Fire Department broke up one wedding celebration in Williamsburg that had more than 200 guests."
I've driven past a park yesterday, five miles away from the center of the outbreak in the US.

It was packed to the grills with schoolchildren in the playground, and their parents watching.

People aren't taking the rules seriously until you shut things down.
I remember the people of Iqrit and Bir'em villages were told to evacuate their village for just a few days, until the battle dies down.

People seem to be caught up in a frenzy of the importance of PCR testing.

In reality, even if no one got tested, Doctors would still be doing pretty much the same things they are doing now. The same numbers of people would live or die. Hypoxemia and pneumonia are easy to diagnose. The treatment is standard. Any medicines are likely to work the same without regard to the exact RNA makeup of the virus.

Quarantine is still a good idea. Remember, if it mutates all these tests are going to be useless anyway. So a negative result has to be treated as dangerous anyway.

Fantastic metaphor
I think Germany is handling this crisis really well[0].

Almost 20-25 days back, Merkel herself stated that they are expecting 70% people to get infected and that their main objective is to flatten the curve so as not to stress healthcare. It's hard in times like these to be so truthful about numbers(right from start) especially when other leaders were just denying the truth until the cases ramped up.

It also shows that the administration was listening to experts right from the beginning rather than playing the wait game or blatantly denying the seriousness of situation.

> I thought you had to use a column still to make vodka, and that if you use a pot still, it's basically (white) whiskey.

a column, typically a reflux still, is generally what is used, yes. it provides a much higher alcohol concentration to be extracted in one single pass. at highest efficiency, you'll get 95% alcohol as a return.

you can also make multiple (5-10) passes in a pot still to get the same purity, it's just nowhere near as efficient (because of the multiple runs).

HR Conferences in the era of Covid-19
Hey, thanks for the clarifications, and apologies to the community that I started ranting.

The equivalence between "takes time to train up" and "20 years of systematic dismantling" is that we have lost many of the experts we might otherwise depend on in a national emergency. For example, Trump dismantled the Pandemic Response Team. You can't easily replace that overnight. Longstanding cuts to CDC budgets, etc.

You are also correct that I was making a rather unexpected analogy between our current crisis and the environmental crisis. Yes, this would catch a reader off guard and cause the confusion you suggest.

Here it is again: The economy is a complex system. Each part basically assumes that the rest of the parts are there. Imagine Amazon without a postal deliver service, for example. Or your grocery store without a trucking industry.

Much of the global economy is now shut down. We will have to re-start it, which we will do, but it will be painful because of complex interdependencies between parts.

Here is the analogy: Life on earth is also a complex system. We have done our best to extract and destroy as much of it as possible. For example, insect populations are down by 80% in Western countries.

We take for granted that the natural environment is there, providing what it has always provided, without realizing how badly we have disrupted it.

Just as the US has taken good health for granted and dismantled things like the CDC, taken good roads for granted and not repaired them, taken good education for granted and demonized public school teachers (hello, Wisconsin!)....

Ask HN: How can I tell if my software has restrictions or tarrifs in China?
I recently had a request from a company in China to buy my software, and they sent me a form asking for export classification, and if I have tarrifs or a restriction code.

demand a salary close to what they think they should be getting, according to their advisers or statistics or whatever.

The OP's comment implies that the job applicants are entitled for making salary demands based on statistics. There is nothing entitled about asking for market rates.

The comment responding to it points out the problem with this thinking in a lighthearted way. To me it was the perfect response. I understand you may disagree, but it was in no way unreasonable.

My comment on the other hand could have come across better. I implied you were not following the rules you set which I don't think is fair. I may disagree with your decision, but I could have done it in a more respectful way.
Cuomo is a pragmatist above all else. The mission is flatten the curve. If some asshole decides to have a party and get people sick, that is awful, but the 10 other people who follow the rules will be at lower risk.

Instead of the California approach, where you say "don't this, except for reasons 1 ... n", he's attacking the demand side. You can go out, but you don't have anywhere to go.

All of the problems get worse if you make people panic. My buddy who lives in northern upstate NY was just telling me about all of the people "bugging out" and taking their RVs up to the Adirondacks. If you tell people it's martial law, people will flee NYC Metro for wherever.

The other thing is that people will always be out. How do you deal with homeless people? Arrest them? How do you deal with people who claim to be medical people? How do you identify Trader Joe's employees? Are the police going to setup roadblocks? How do the police maintain a rosette stone of who is worthy of travel and who isnt?
I hope too that most developers already know that they need to use real-time schedulers for real-time work.

I kind of disagree, I would consider reunification efforts during the cold war to be a much bigger challenge than coronavirus. Also making comparisons to ww2, however valid, is just about the fastest way to get people to disregard a statement as hyperbole. Optics is important.

My concern is not overwhelming hospitals translates to 20 years of lockdown. It isn't feasible. But we might not figure it out until we've destroyed the economy. Then we end up with the same deaths from the virus we were trying to prevent, plus the suffering/deaths of a crippled nation/economy. This sucks.

I appreciate the feedback. I feel like there is a healthcare revolution taking place that most people have no clue about, especially in terms of interoperability. I am constantly amazed at how few tech workers have any knowledge of FHIR and related technologies, especially considering the opportunities they provide to startups.

Also another one of my links includes Direct which is a healthcare technology that provides secure communication for clinicians that uses identity vetting to ensure the recipient is who they say they are. I wish it had wider adoption.

Solid post. I think someone who's just starting out with ML or even basic mathematically notations would find this very helpful. Especially someone knows programming, but struggles with mathematically jargon
Man, I hate this take. I get where it's coming from. In times of significant stress, it's important that we all pull together and do work to benefit society as a whole. And part of the way we incentivize that is by calling out people who don't do their part. I get it.

But we are already inundated by outrage journalism, cancel culture, and public shaming. The last thing we need is more of that. We've already got enough things to be stressed, worried, anxious, and angry about.

The vast majority of people will respect the good advice coming from leadership, and those people are the ones who deserve our attention, in a positive way.

Look at this like engineering. With a large enough system, you are always going to have some components that fail. When your network has a million machines, you don't get upset when a server goes down, you just engineer some tolerance into your network, define processes to handle them, and go on with your life.

I have been constantly gratified by how many people are doing the right thing and those are the people that I want to focus my own attention on. I think we will all get through this with a little more sanity and emotional health if we can take a break from the perennial game of torches and pitchforks for a while.

> Whey Protein Concentrate

From the article:

> Large, corporate-owned creameries can afford the expensive equipment that converts whey into profitable products such as protein powder. But at his family-owned, 20-cow farmstand creamery, Koch and his wife simply fed their whey into the fields through a nutrient management system.

Smaller creameries lack the capital to buy equipment to create whey powder and even if they had it, few people would buy small-brand protein powder. It is also apparently not worth shipping & selling to companies with the equipment so it ends up as an expense to dispose of it.
The first word in the post you're responding to is "legally". Obviously the state has guns. Come on!!

For teams without as much funding, there's also a competition called the "First Tech Challenge". It's a smaller robot, which makes it far easier for a team to self-fund and get started.

My guess would be because it's how a lot of essential workers get to work.
This is the feature list from the link:

- Use of Julia multiprecision integers and rationals
- Finite fields (prime order, naive implementation only)
- Number fields (naive implementation only)
- Univariate polynomials
- Multivariate polynomials
- Relative and absolute power series
- Laurent series
- Fraction fields
- Residue rings, including Z/nZ
- Matrices and linear algebra

What exactly do you consider "numerical" here? AFAIU those are all standard constructions from abstract algebra and number theory.
I can't speak for the parent commentators motives but guns are for more than just suicide. They can also protect you from people crazy enough to break into a home. They can also be used to hunt for food.
Because without subways many of those essential services (including health care) stop functioning as workers can't get to their jobs. Then everything goes to hell as actual mass panic breaks out.
I agree, but I suspect that South Korea also has heavy bureaucracy.

The sad thing is the USA and Europe were fully capable of handling this just like South Korea. That's why this is really about a failure of leadership.

I would like to think that this crisis will force Americans and Europeans to demand accountability, but I don't think that's going to happen. A token scapegoat will be found, "the people" will be congratulated for taking action in a time of emergency (and failure of government) and the leadership that were out-to-lunch when this stuff started going down will be accountable to nothing.

This is true, but much of math understanding comes from analogies. Summation over an infinite set is like mechanical summation over a finite one, etc.

As a teaching tool I think it's valuable. But it's important not to identify the math with the analogies that are used to teach it.
I hope you can correct my numbers but I am pretty sure this is within the same decimal order of magnitude :

And this ignores controllers, cabling and chassis.

And this is before we look at our storage software licenses.
