Bipedal walking and running on uneven terrain has been demonstrated years ago - Boston Dynamics has a lot of nice videos; e.g. here's a four year old video on walking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVlhMGQgDkY , here's two year old videos on running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjSohj-Iclc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LikxFZZO2sk - perhaps it's debatable if it's "full human level" but it seems sufficient to me for most purposes. IMHO any improvements to that would be mostly for sensors (seeing what terrain is there even in poor conditions e.g. fog/rain/snow) and modelling environment (understanding which objects might break or slide if you step on them), not walking/running as such.

The main problem for bipedal robots that makes them still impractical is the hardware expense (wheels are simpler and cheaper) and the power supply required, so for most use cases it's more efficient to use something other than a bipedal robot and there's limited business application and future revenue in scaling up research demos of bipedal walking to practicality, so most people who are working on walking algorithms are doing so in simulated virtual environments (where we have algorithms that can learn walking and running "from scratch" through experimentation) and not building very expensive hardware.
Exactly agreed. I basically only use Flask for things I want to explicitly be single-file these days. For anything larger, I reach for Django, because I know that if I need at least one thing from it (and I always need the ORM/migrations/admin), it will have been worth it.

My current favorite way of building APIs is this Frankenstein's monster of Django/FastAPI, which actually works quite well so far:

https://www.stavros.io/posts/fastapi-with-django/

FastAPI is a much better way of writing APIs than DRF, I wish it were a Django library, but hopefully compatibility will improve as Django adds async support.
I found that seeps through largely via HR people in the contacts. Dropping them reduces the feed to the usual corporate announcement buzz.
Access to a laser cutter is probably also one of the easier things to find, since they're easy to run compared to many other machines.
The author says it himself in the introductory paragraph:

> I never used LinkedIn... hadn't even updated my profile in the 9 months since I left my last software engineering job.

So you use LinkedIn only passively, never do anything on the platform and then write a rant on how it provides you no value? Maybe actually _try_ to use the strengths of LinkedIn before you dismiss it?
It looks like another preprint found antibodies in the airways mucosa instead of blood. That would perhaps explain why some were undetectable.
I maintain a fairly complex flask application and cannot see a better tool for that job. Our code looks similar as well. It's boilerplate repeated often for sure, but there will always be that one endpoint where you need that flexibility to do something a highly opinionated framework just won't let you. In the end it's deciding whether you write some extra code with flexibility or some extra code fighting the framework.

Can you show me a comparable codebase in django and how it looks? I'm genuinely curious how people deal with edge cases.
PR stunt. At every turn people pleaded with Amazon that police is going to abuse this technology (and shown them they have), Amazon was amazingly tone-deaf talking about how this tech will improve policing, keep society safe, all the regular talking points from pro-state surveillance supporters.

Worse, they even went above and beyond with Ring, giving police full access to their data, with no judicial warrants, etc.

So yeah, nice try Amazon, but I know you wouldn't have done this if it wasn't looking really bad for you right now, while also attempting to gain some PR points out of it.
Many African countries are making masks mandatory
Americans mostly only care about other Americans (if that) - i.e the "Black lives matter" is just a shortcut for "Black Americans matter" - they don't give a rat's ass about black people living in horrible conditions anywhere else in the world. They certainly don't care about your situation as well.
The wealthy individual in the metaphor is quite up-front that he is buying the HDD to destroy it, and is more than willing to provide counselling and support to get you back on your feet.

The alternative in the metaphor is you keep the HDD, suffer financially and the wealthy person can't become wealthy because these trades are how they make money. It is worse for everyone.
Like all other subject matters that routinely get silenced?
Sanger, from what I've read of what he has been saying, doesn't appear to deny the remarkable achivement of Wikipedia. He's arguing it is increasingly losing a sense of - a culture of - neutrality that helped to make Wikipedia possible.
Microsoft did change.

But then it looked how Apple and Google did the same thing, successfully, and sailed away in terms of market share and now it wants to replicate the success.

The thing is, I don't think it is going to succeed. The likely thing that is already happening is that power users are leaving Windows and once power users leave the platform will die.
But it's factored into the price. TV prices fell a lot during the last two years or so. They earn from the ads, they sell your usage stats. You get a subsidized TV. Don't connect it to the net.
I have had a very pleasant experience using types in a FastAPI project (detailed here): https://www.stavros.io/posts/fastapi-with-django/

I quite like Python's type system, it's not very mature yet but it's definitely good enough to already catch a lot of bugs.
No, because that was a study of the water flow, which contradicted your idea about it being dry. There are countless other studies where they look at how for example how radioactivity affects corrosion etc.

It doesn't matter why Yucca was abandonned. It isn't active. If it is technical or political reason behind it. It doesn't matter because you still don't have anywhere to store the waste. If it is political or technical problem doesn't matter, because it is still not solved.

And about that desert, maybe you have heard about this thing climate change that sometimes they mention in the news? That might actually mean that in even a hundred years there isn't any desert there any more.

Arsenic occurs naturally in many places. Would you mind me burrying a few gallons of it in your backyard? You'll know where it is, so you don't have to worry about it.
As a consultant, LinkedIn is also helpful if you are trying to turn a niche consulting area into a resellable software product (the dream of every hourly consultant). You can find and reach the end users of whatever weird niche you want to sell into and have them try out a prototype, etc.

Most of the world's employees aren't software devs who get
annoyed by regular cold calls from recruiters. So often non-software people are happy to talk to someone who speaks their language and values their advice. It can even lead to new relationships and your initial product sales.
FreeCAD is cool but very ugly both in terms of aesthetics and UX.
It's definitely a defensive posture - in my corner of the world, unless you're a hotshot name, not having a LinkedIn profile at all will raise eyebrows when jobhunting. So you must have a presence, even if fundamentally idle.

I agree that Premium is useless. If you start spamming people you'll just look desperate. And I've not had a single job application go through with LI, I think employers just use it as "the new Monster" (post because you must show effort, then just ignore the thousands of CVs you get, as most real candidates will come through recommendations anyway). It's only useful to be there in case a recruiter calls with a good job (rare but it happens).
I would be more interested in how much LCZero cost?
The main takeaway here is that there is a difference between Europe and the USA.

Sadly yes and it is very counter productive from my perspective. It is no secret that there are some groups that just blame people on their skin color or sex or whatever else. They have been there since the dawn of the internet. But recently they seem to be holding a lot of people in some kind of mental prison.

I wouldn't even want to read an article about Floyd because it won't net me believable information. I will just say that he was a victim of state violence. That is more severe than violence between any groups and everyone in a society is responsible to a degree and that social media or the internet in general is a bad place for reverence.
Wow. I did not realize the other apartment was located above. I thought it was next door.

Just, wow.
From a professional standpoint LinkedIn gave me a lot of value for free so I'm mostly feeling positive about it, but I agree that like any social network it has downsides and can lead to psychological stress.

Personally I live by the mantra that "scrolling is dangerous", i.e. I try to never interact with social media or news platforms that incite me to scroll down a feed of algorithmically curated news or updates, as I find this to be the primary mechanism by which these platforms try to suck people into their content machine (there are other mechanisms like notification spam). Most of these systems seem to target dopamine-releasing pleasure mechanisms in the brain, but some are built around darker psychosocial patterns (e.g. success relative to others, the feeling of adequacy and social confirmation).

HN is like a diet to my brain in comparison as it just presents a single page of news without inciting me to scroll to the next page and doesn't show any notifications to me either. Please keep it that way!
Heya :)
I work in this exact area it's tough but not impossible (based on over 20 years industry experience).
You are right that hotels hate the commission, actually even more they hate the way they are treated by the big agencies and they are held basically hostage by the massive advertising spends of the big players.

It's an uphill battle, and a slow one, but chances are now things might actually take a turn for the better because the OTAs have suffered under the crisis too.
There's a lot of similar projects out there as yours, but it's also a huge market. It takes a lot of work on the consulting side, because hotels are an industry that's ages behind other digitally-capable businesses. So you should look more to changing their mind than looking at the guest side, trust me on this.

I'd be happy to talk and share what I know, we need every hand we can get to turn the situation around. I also work directly with Google Hotel Ads and can share some insights there. Ping me on the email that's in my profile, there's a lot to explain and it would take a book haha.
I leave this turned off just so their analytics show me bounce to old reddit every time I get the new one. Luckily I don't browse it enough for this to be a large inconvenience for me.
I'm really liking Python static types to the point where I don't write new programs without them. Give them a shot, they really help.
As I said:

Bringing up another completely seperate category of abuse is again another completely different discussion, and completely not relevant to this one.
Trend is up for new cases and hospital beds in almost every single state that opened early. The only exception is Georgia which has been caught falsifying data more than once.
Maybe Wikipedia shouldn't allow certain articles to be added/edited until things cool off a bit. Writing history out of anger is probably not the best idea.

> It's about time for Roboflow to pull this article.

The article still adds value by suggesting how one would run the network and in general the site seems to be about collating different networks.

Perhaps a disclaimer could be good, reading something like: "the speed improvements mentioned in this article are currently being tested". As a publisher, when you print somebody else's words, unless quoted, they are said with your authority. The claims are very big and it doesn't feel like enough testing has been done yet to even verify that they hold true.
It isn't a matter of national interest because nobody in the nation is interested. Nobody has ever heard of or cares about the very similar site that is 10 km away but not on the mining lease.

YMMV.

"never anything remotely useful" is... quite a blanket statement.
> I could not disagree more re. the expiring credentials. It is a bad practice to have credentials that never expire, especially on developer laptops, especially credentials of this nature.

For the specific use case of the developer box and the Docker registry, resetting the credentials every 12 hours doesn't offer any more security than not on its own.

The reason for that is after you try to login to ECR after the expired time, the way you authenticate again is to run a specific aws CLI command to generate a docker login command. After you run that, you're authenticated for 12 hours.

If your box were compromised, all the attacker would have to do is run that aws command and now they are authenticated.

Also, due to how the aws CLI works, you end up storing your aws credentials in plain text in ~/.aws/credentials and they are not re-rolled unless the developer requests to do so. Ultimately they are the real means for Docker registry access.
Easy fix: Disallow use of MacOS. I really don't get why developers use an OS where no upstream package management of developer tools exists and that offers no way of running performant VMs.

I have three favorite properties on the web: Wikipedia, the Khan Academy and the Internet Archive.

Whoever thought this was a good idea should own up to it and step down, this was a dumb move if there ever was one and risking one of the prime - and very fragile - properties on the web like this was highly irresponsible. Keep in mind that IA already has plenty of enemies who are continuously monitoring it and hoping to find a way to shut them down, then hand them this sort of thing on a golden platter. Beyond stupid, really.
Every programmer comes to believe that comments are the symptoms of bad code at some point in their development. Many, but not all, of them realize that they are wrong quite quickly afterwards.

Comments aren't a crutch to be used because of an impairment , they are helpful support in the face of the challenges of diverse technologies, poor documentation and difficult communication over time and space. Importantly they are integrated into the code base and are aimed at a very specific consumer - future programmers. Future programmers who may include you!
Well, I would say HN seems interesting in most cases, not only some attention grabbing platform. Don't you agree?
> Architects draw detailed plans before a brick is laid or a nail is hammered. But few programmers write even a rough sketch of what their programs will do before they start coding.

Is the second sentence here true in any meaningful way?

Usually when I start on a personal project that is bigger than a oneliner or a script and more novel than a web page I've been thinking about it for weeks and have made a few sketches of the architecture and key data models and even then I start with a rough outline of the code ready to throw it away.

I don't think everyone does like me but it would surprise me if most professional programmers doesn't make some kind of sketch before starting on a project..?

Either I'm really unusually professional (I don't think so) or this article has a weak starting point.
Apple is not Microsoft, if you don’t maintain your software you’re left behind.
The one thing I find (as a UK woodworker) when watching US or Canadian channels is (a) they all seem to have massive workshops, like size-of-a-barn massive, and (b) they have machines for everything. I could not tackle many of the projects they do because of limited space, which restricts the machines I can accommodate.

Paul Sellers definitely understands that many UK woodworkers are in their garage or garden shed and keeps that in mind for his projects, and uses predominantly hand tools. I'm not saying I don't like the North American channels, and Matthias is a true hacker as well as a woodworker, but it's a different world.

Just to add my own recommendation: Alain Vaillancourt does some excellent stuff, from his vast workshop located somewhere in the New World:

I think a blueprint is more like the source code, and a building is more like an instance of the software running in memory.
I got my last few good-paying contracts from LinkedIn, so I can't complain. I've even started paying the premium plan. I know ...privacy and a lot of noise, can't disagree. But that's the price to pay if you want a career. Can't become rich by living an easy and private life.
Power users customize their own installation, they don't download a modified ISO from Yandex. This isn't aimed at power user but at regular users who don't understand what was done to it or the risk of downloading your OS from an untrusted source. It's so easy to turn them into rootkit encrusted ISOs and just call them "NEW! Updated Ninjutsu OS v2.0".
Fair enough.

Linkedin has helped me find and secure new roles. I do agree that its becoming that sort of FOMO experience when I think about. In fact thats why I deleted Facebook, Twitter and Instagram many years ago, which has positively helped me. But, I do feel like its turning into that Facebook experience. I do often reject those random Linkedin connection requests from time to time. Other than that I just play along with it. Use it when I need to use.
If you want a functioning shop, and you were limited to four initial options:

1) prohibitively expensive power tools

2) prohibitively expensive hand tools

3) cheap hand tools

4) cheap power tools

...I'd go for cheap power tools every time. You could get more tools than you'll ever need for $1-2k buying cheap but usable brands. They probably wouldn't stand up to more than DIY use, but they will work, and you'll learn what items you really value. For example, I now know that I use my cheap table saw enough that I could justify a more expensive one, however I'll never buy an expensive scroll saw.

I think it's bad advice to start with good hand tools unless you have a high tolerance for manual labour or are apprenticing under someone in a fine woodworking area (e.g. luthiery).
LinkedIn is fairly useless, but it’s a game I play. Some folks just expect me to have a LI profile, so I keep it up, and treat it respectfully.

I do like to have a platform where I’m not constantly reading troll screeds (but it’s starting to show cracks).

I mainly use it to reinforce my “personal brand,” and give people a place I can send them to, where they can find out about me, in a format with which they are comfortable.

I don’t treat it casually, as a lot of folks take it seriously, and treating it badly is disrespectful (IMO).

> Hiring is broken

Yup. Not LI’s fault, though.

I won’t even begin to address that, but, as an older techie, with an enormous portfolio and experience, and mediocre “schoolboy test” performance, I have encountered this in spades.
I have some experience on being recruited. Most of the messages you receive are indeed junk.

But that's not the value of LinkedIn. The value is being connected and receiving recommendations from your current or former colleagues. That's not something you can easily maintain on your own.

And if you want to be recruited, then you have to actively improve your profile and even to actively seek a job — this means maintaining relationships with capable recruiters that can filter out the junk for you, or even contacting the companies that you like directly. And in both cases having an up to date online profile helps.

In other words a combination of outbound and inbound marketing. LinkedIn can help with both, or it might not help, but passively receiving messages from recruiters is not the provided value.

Due to the supply and demand curve, software developers have gotten lazy, but marketing is a soft skill we should all learn.
IA has ruffled a lot of feathers over the years with their copying of copyrighted content, putting all the eggs in a single basket was understandable given the resource constraints they are operating under, starting a war using that basket as a shield was not the best move they could have made, especially knowing who the opposition is.

The publishers have been out for their blood for a long time, this is essentially handing them a very easy victory. They'll be very lucky if they survive - and so will we.

Assuming it is possible to copy the data I would support an effort to make an off-line backup on the off chance that they get shut down completely and lose access to their assets.
I mean it could be part of the OS. It would be kind of cool if your OS could have an API to encrypt private user data with some key that only the other persons OS can decode.

Chat apps could then delegate security to the OS, rather than having to trust that the app developer has a security team that knows what they're doing.

You could even take it one step further and have the plaintext of the users messages secret from the app - the OS would draw them direct to the screen. A bit like opaque cross-origin data in webpages is secret from JavaScript on the page.
I think this is what author is saysing exactly. If you use it passively then there is no value (add?) and then the question is why to have a profile at all? Did not look like a rant to me.
