The problem you're describing is kind of dual to the problem with parametrized representations.

It's easy to construct parametrized boundary representations (as OP used) that maintain topological invariants, but it's very difficult to use them to explore the space of possible topologies (which would be relevant if OP wanted to say, design a lighter wheel).
I don’t think this is a meaningful example, the canon does not need to take 128 pics to reduce noise in the first place since it has a massive sensor.

VLIW is an intellectual dead end because superscalar architectures perform reordering and parallel execution on the fly.

The memory protection scheme used in Elbrus is unworkable with almost none of the software stack utilizing it. You can't even code C++.

The entire thing doesn't help the domestic semiconductor industry as production is outsourced.

I'm not black but I've been subjected to stop and search on the streets of London. I've been taken aside and put in a room by police while they checked me out on entering the UK only to eventually be told "OK, you can go" at the end of it, no apology. But generally I've found with police that if you're polite and cooperative they are respectful in return. My first boss in the UK, who wasn't white, one of the first things he said to me was to be wary of black people, they have a chip on their shoulder.
I was pretty shocked to hear him say that actually.
Nvidia do care about Linux. Almost all of their cloud/AI sales run Linux. So CUDA normally works, but the graphics drivers themselves are crap.

If I were to specify a system most likely to "just work" with Nvidia, I'd probably go for whatever version of CentOS FB, Google and Amazon use internally.
Agreed; so figuring out how to sustainably meet (and ideally exceed) people's basic needs is important to safeguard content production.

As a single power user of such software, I assure you that multidimensionality is a characteristic of the data and not a feature that’s convenient only once one has multiple users.

The classic product/channel/geography relationship is one of those. There’s a myriad others.

Besides, Improv had many other positive features beyond multidimensionality (including the separation between data and formula).

Child abuse, terrorism, drug trafficking and professional crime in general is a needle in a haystack compared to boring petty crime let alone normal communication.

Law enforcement entities that try to prosecute these kinds of crimes doesn't do it by building haystacks of data and then combing through looking for needles because that's a waste of their resources relative to the amount of results obtained. They do it by attacking the endpoints where the abuse or terrorism, or other professional crime has to actually happen. They find a terrorist, or a child abuser or a drug trafficker or they find evidence of their handiwork and then work from there. They see where they get their money, their bombs, their drugs, etc, etc and follow the links as much as they can. When law enforcement is actually trying to target crime they don't go fishing, digitally or in meatspace because that's not an efficient way to obtain results if the goal is to go after some genre of professional/organized crime.

Running a mass operation with no specific target (like speed traps in meat-space or dragnet operations in the digital world) is great for padding stats because you can say "look, we got X pounds of meth off the street" or whatever but it doesn't actually do much to target the professional crime because professional criminals take steps to avoid being caught in lowest common denominator type policing.

Neutering encryption (so that cops can continue to run surveillance dragnets) doesn't do anything to help the cops catch real criminals, that's just a talking point made up by the people who want the government to have the ability to put any arbitrary person under a microscope.
> You will find plenty of marketing experts all around you, but none of them will work for a commission

There are many marketers who will work on commission (e.g., affiliate marketers, some/much of which is not BS). The challenge is creating a context in which a producer and seller can work well together. Specifically:

1. The seller needs to have a product that people want. That’s product-market fit.

2. The seller needs to be willing to pay the marketer enough to make it worth their time. Many producers fall woefully short in this department. Sometimes it’s because the producer is cheap, sometimes because they don’t value marketing, sometimes it’s because they don’t price the cost of marketing into their product (either not at all or not correctly).

3. On top of all of the above, there needs to be a sales funnel that converts. This can be set up (even crudely is ok) by the producer, or it can be set up by the marketer. Note that a good sales funnel takes time to develop and refine, and doing so is expensive —- expensive to the point that the marketer maybe should be a co-owner rather than a hired gun.

If a producer is missing any of the above, they will naturally only attract folks who will work for a flat fee rather than a commission, and that’s because the groundwork has not been laid for a commission system to work / be worth their time.
Reminds me of when I was about 13 and I had this brilliant idea for an insanely good compression scheme that could handle random data.

I was teaching myself programming using QBasic and I had just discovered the random number function. My idea was essentially to find a random seed which would make the random number generator generate the same byte sequence as the input block. Then you just had to store the random seed, huge win!

Of course, it didn't take me too long until I realized just how long it would take to compress, and I hadn't even thought about the limited number of byte sequences a 16-bit random seed could generate or the fact that the random numbers it would generate aren't all that random...

But for a few hours there I felt really, really clever :)

It's always a fun day when the HN camera thread comes around!

Here are some examples of what you need to be able to do with a phone before it makes sense to talk about interchangeable-lens cameras not needing to exist any more.

> they're angry about someone dying.

They're not angry about someone dying!

That's disingenuous, and breaks the basis of your argument.

The problem isn't dying at all, it's why.

They're angry about a murder, which reminds people there are too many murders.

Angry at a murder by a police officer who thought he could casually do so in broad daylight surrounded by onlookers, because he lives in a culture where he expects to get away with it.

Angry at a culture where a police officer can reasonably think he'll get away with it, because they often do.

Angry at the other officers on the scene who went along with it instead of intervening.

Angry at all the other racist murders that keep happening, and systematic racism on a massive scale in general.

That said I thoroughly agree with your point about protecting the elderly. And for that matter, protecting large numbers of young with asthma and diabetes, and conditions nobody knows about because they didn't matter before. (How easily people reduce these things to "just old people" so they can be ageist).

Trouble is, there's a real dilemma over the right and effective things to do. I think there is a deep human social instinct in play. The protests are not about one person dying, or one person being murdered even. They are about a serious systemic problem which undoubtedly results in large numbers of people, more black than not, dying prematurely. As well as a culture problem, which maintains that problem as those with more influence in society treat the problem as unimportant. I would not be surprised if the number of premature black person deaths in the USA, directly or indirectly caused by racism, comfortably exceeds the number of deaths caused directly or indirectly by COVID-19 in the end.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#His...

> Android Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White.[16][17] Rubin described the Android project as "tremendous potential in developing smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences".[17] The early intentions of the company were to develop an advanced operating system for __digital cameras__, and this was the basis of its pitch to investors in April 2004.[18] The company then decided that the market for cameras was not large enough for its goals, and by five months later it had diverted its efforts and was pitching Android as a handset operating system that would rival Symbian and Microsoft Windows Mobile.

Emphasis mine. It sounds like it was intended as an OS for cameras, but in the end it was not designed as one. However source from [18], confirms OP's memory - https://www.pcworld.com/article/2034723/android-founder-we-a...

>The creators of Android originally dreamed it would be used to create a world of "smart cameras" that connected to PCs, a founder said, but it was reworked for mobile handsets as the smartphone market began to explode.

> "The exact same platform, the exact same operating system we built for cameras, that became Android for cellphones," said Android co-founder Andy Rubin, who spoke at an economic summit in Tokyo.
Is it me or the uppercase i looks a bit weird? Like a serif letter among sans serif ones?
I don't. It's easy to be cynical, but the internet in particular has given birth to or allowed to flourish a number of...interesting communities. Not to mention tolerance on a number of dimensions, like race, gender, and sexuality, is way up.

You could argue that it's not that we're nicer to "weirdos", but rather we've expanded the bounds of what's considered non-weird behavior, but at that point you've basically just used circular reasoning: "Niceness to weirdos is constant because I define weirdness such that niceness to weirdos is constant."
"ex" stands for extraterrestrial.
Exactly! How hard is this?
I'm not so sure it obvious bullshit.

If some company told me I could go "private", then when it turned out they were following me everywhere they said "Oh no, when we said go private we only meant part A of our company, part B is still following you everywhere", then I'd be unhappy.

The question is, how do Google advertise incognito mode? At the moment the pages are very minimal, but I am sure they used to make bigger claims in the past (this will of course come up in the case)

Ironically one time in a single weekend it backfired twice...on a Friday while doing planks/pushups on a yoga mat in a park I was attacked by someone yelling “get out of my country” because they thought I was a Muslim praying to Mecca. Then the very next day I went to fresh market and ordered bacon and baby back ribs from the butcher and was confronted in the store by a man who followed me into the parking lot to attack me for being a bad Jew and ordering bacon and ribs on the sabbath.

I’m neither Muslim nor Jewish, and even after learning this neither of my attackers were apologetic.

TC entered the market at a much better time. There was much less competition, huge demand and people were still used to paying for desktop software. For that reason, you can't really compare fman to it.

Having said that, yes fman misses important features. It is I think the main reason why fman does not have more adoption. But adding the features would take another x,000h.
But axle position and constant radius are the only reasons why a circle is the best wheel shape, instead of Reuleaux triangles or something entirely different. If axle position isn't a factor that makes it seem like the code is just searching for an object with some constant radius X. Which is a fine task, but it's not really about the "Optimal Rolling Shape"
While phone vendors are unlikely to offer it as a first party feature, Apple has APIs to get raw sensor data and various third party photo apps will do that for you if you want. I assume it’s the same in android land.
Nokia phones are made by HMD Global, a different company that licenses the Nokia brand.
I like the examples but I’m not sure I agree with the conclusion. An alternative argument is that it’s in some sense easier to be a weirdo or misfit today because much of what was a weirdo or misfit in 1935 is now accepted today (though I guess other things aren’t)
Why so? For the most part, modern society doesn't really care about who you are and what you do. Most things have become very dehumanized, for good and for worse.

You can order whatever food and food combinations you want, just make the order and wait for it to arrive. The driver won't judge you; he cares little and has probably seen weirder orders.

It is also easier than ever to find people with similar interests and 'weirdness' as you: there's a zillion small (or not so small) communities that find each other on the internet. Furries, lgbtq+, or magic card collectors. There is still some judgment and negative social repercussions of course, but magnitudes smaller than what it used to be a hundred years ago.

> Getting angry could cause more innocent people to get killed. Some are working towards a better future in these protests. Others are just getting inflamed and doing things they might regret.
Adding emotive fuel will only cause more harm

...to which, you called for more anger and adding fuel to the fire.

As I’ve already identified above, the two extreme forces are the violent law enforcers who abuse their power and the arsonist protestors who are looting and vandalizing businesses as some kind of retribution. Both extremists are unjustifiable. It’s good they don’t represent the majority. It’d also be good if we were to not let them represent the agency ... and, frankly, to have control over our prejudices and our anger.

> The better cell phone cameras get, the more frustrated I get with their limitations — and the more I recognize how much better a dedicated camera is for those situations

Totally agree, as a long time DSLR user.

Six months ago I bought a Nikon D850 – which has 45 Megapixels (8526 x 5504) at a full-frame resolution, allowing aggressive image cropping if I need it. I often use a 200-500mm lens. If I switch the camera to a cropped sensor mode I get a 1.5 x increase in effective focal length (i.e., 850mm) while still getting a 24 mPx (5408 x 4584) image. The D850 also has very low sensor noise, which makes shooting in low light a pleasure.

If I want an image of some friends for a typical social media application, then, yes, I will use my smartphone and get something that is usually good enough. But, for my main application - wildlife photography – there is just no comparison. I want to be able to see the detail of the individual feathers on a bird. And now I’ve gone up the learning curve, unless I make some stupid mistake, the camera will always get a shot if there is one to be had, not let the opportunities slip away because I can’t control the focusing or similar.

[Edit] The D850 also has a tolerable DSLR video capability, although video autofocus sucks a bit. Shooting video at HD resolution, it has some very impressive live view focusing guides (sharp objects are highlighted in red) and a live histogram display. HD or 4K video with a 850-effective mm lens is truly awesome. The newer mirrorless Nikons (Z series) are functionally very similar from a video perspective.

Also, if I want a stunningly fast burst mode for 'small' (1920 x 1080) JPEG-quality images, I can use slow-mo video to get 120 frames per second.
Realizing that I don't have to give a fuck has definitely felt like an important step towards actual emotional/intellectual maturity. It has happened to me relatively recently, so I'm still new to the feeling :D

Thank you for your comment. I hear you when you say postgres would probably be faster. However, I imagine there would be more work if I chose postgres and the whole development and testing paradigm would change.

First, I would need to figure the right schema and populate the database.

Second, it would need some creative SQL acrobatics that I would probably not be comfortable with.

Third, it would probably be hard to perform quick tests at a small scale that I can perform easily with text files.

Fourth, the solution would probably be hard to port elsewhere where postgres is not available. Most Unix systems have awk available.

Fifth, programming the postgres db in a higher level language would require connector api libs which would be additional effort.

Note that this is not a production work -- it started simply as a hack to see how far I can go without getting into serious rabbitholes and giving up. Surprisingly, with Awk I went really far and never fell into any rabbithole so to speak.
I imagine it's not meant to be 100% accurate. If it identifies even 50% of the people that may have come in contact with someone who's positive, even considering 50% false positives, I would consider it a rousing success.

I mean I don't blame restaurants for only accepting orders over the phone, given that the alternative is a money-grabbing monopolist trying to take away all of their customers.

Yelp is another matter full of fake reviews and spam - I can also see why restaurants don't want to have a "social media manager" doing that for them.

I mean, you're using smart vocabulary "due dilligence", "Yelp" - but how much of that is literally spammy articles that have nothing to do with the real quality of the food in the restaurant?

We use Google-recommended[1] dynamic rendering techniques and other best practices to automatically optimize your pages and images on a per-page and per-visitor basis. So you can e.g. have your home-page fully statically rendered and everything else as normal like Netflix does/did.

Your React apps and client-side rendered sites are automatically pre-rendered (like SSR) to guarantee search engine and social-network indexability.

Your images are automatically optimized and resized depending the browser window size and image formats it supports.

Even a static server-rendered site like HN can see Lighthouse score improvements[2] :)
