Ah - got it. I used that in an earlier project too. I will take a look and see if there is another way to do what I want without it. Thank you.
I sincerely doubt it. There is much more that is published than the general public has an appetite for. Even in a narrow scope, people have a limited appetite for any particular form of content before they're satiated. If too much content is produced for any particular topic, people will burn out and tune out.

This is such a simplistic view of a vast and evolving field of scientific research, it's too cartoonish of an argument to even warrant a real response. Which is why the conversation around ML gets negatively selected against actual researchers and practitioners, who get headaches from opinions like the one above.
Looks interesting. What are the benefits to using this versus a vanilla Postgres and SQLAlchemy ORM setup?
And like constellations, those clusters are only observable together from a particular vantage-point (the earth), as soon as you go elsewhere (e.g. Alpha Centauri) the stars are in a totally different place and the constellations, as originally defined, simply don't exist.
This is a great question, and I wish more people were interested in how the biological clock works.

As a night owl, you basically get jet lag every day.

Jet lag means that your internal, biological clock is still adjusted to the sunrise/sundown times of another time zone, because you traveled faster than about 1 hour of timezone difference per day, i.e. per jet - that's why it's called jet lag.

There is no discipline to recovering from jet lag. Depending on the direction and the personal biological clock (they're all slightly different) it takes roughly 1 day to recover 1 hour of jet lag. So the craziest you can get is 12 hours off, which will take a week and a half to recover from.

Imagine your internal clock like a clock that you can only change the time on by about an hour per day. If you bring it to a timezone 3 hours away, you'll need to turn it by 1 hour for 3 days in a row.

"Easy" jet lag (e.g. US coast to coast) is about 3 hours, and so will only take a few days. Plus, you can miss 1-2 hours of sleep for one night and not feel that different - so it's easy to "power through" or not notice the jet lag.

Longer jet lags, like from traveling from the US to Asia, will be much more noticeable, and will often take a week or even longer to recover from. This is where you get people waking up at 2am unable to get back to sleep, and drop like a rock when the afternoon comes around.

It is slightly easier for most people to delay their sleep than to pull it forward, because the typical person's circadian rhythm is a bit longer than 24 hours. So flying from the East Coast to the West Coast results in slightly less jet lag than the other way around for most people, or at least they're able to recover slightly faster.

For night owls, if they would usually wake up at 10am and the sun comes up at 6am where they live, but really they have to wake up at 8am, they basically have a 2 hour jet lag every day. It's as if they're flying across 2 time zones every day.

This night owl will never "recover," because there isn't typically ever a sunrise at 4am at the place, which would trigger that person's circadian rhythm to wake up at 8am. You can try using tricks like light boxes (very powerful lights) to simulate the sunrise, but most commercial models are not particularly effective.

I can move my rhythm about 30 minutes forward using a commercial light box. But it gives me headaches, which I don't get from the sun. There was a post recently here on HN where somebody built his own, very bright light simulator by using LED strips. These were about 5x more powerful than the commercial light boxes, if I remember it right. He was using it to treat seasonal depression in the winter, but it should work for adjusting the circadian rhythm as well.

So these people don't just "believe" themselves to be condemned to being a night owl or early bird. It is relative to the sun, and it is malleable to a degree, but only to a degree.
I'm not sure if the compelled speech was actually adopted into law. I'm referring to Jordan Peterson's interview and senate hearing in relation to the law.

The French have admitted the reprocessing doesn't save them any money, in fact it's more expensive than not reprocessing. But the cost is still only a very small part of the cost of nuclear power.
You are quite arrogant.

He reloads and rebinds functions and symbols. That is not the same thing as hot-swapping functions. Hot-swapping means that the function is running and in his example no running function is replaced. Had the main function looked like this:

(defn main []
(let [what "blah"]
(loop []
(println what)
(Thread/sleep 1000)
(recur))))

It would neither have been possible to change the output nor the sleep time.

How have machine learning algorithms negatively affected financial markets in the last 6 months? Markets have been volatile because information about the real world has been volatile.

Yup. Fish checks both and acts accordingly, but they're kind of useless because `xn` could mean anything.

The real problem is I'm not sure when the last boolean capability was added to the termcap standard. While new terminals continue to add and update their termcaps, the spec itself is missing a lot of features that would help enormously.
I think the problem is that in a long list of edge cases, it's neither fake clever nor real clever but just "dumb". This is, of course, always an issue with computers, but what makes ML so vexing is that it's inscrutable.

For your fridge that's an annoyance, but when used for more serious applications the ramifications can be large. Example: https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/01/21/137783/algorithm... – there's much more where that came from.

ML works by taking a huge amount of data and finding patterns and is pretty much incapable of judging individual cases. We have ugly words for humans who judge people based on generalisations instead of judging the individual...

Computers and algorithms are devoid of empathy and humanity, I am extremely apprehensive in using them to make any sort of judgement call, especially if the calculation is inscrutable. Humans may not be perfect, but at least they're ... human.

ML is an interesting tool which can be used for many things, but right now it's also being misapplied for many things. I think a lot of opposition comes from that, rather than your fridge or whatnot.
No, probably not. A lot of the web services I use are based on AWS.
In addition to taking whatever technical measures you are taking, if you're in the EU, consider also grabbing one web site that has a particularly bad consent flow (e.g. a dozen clicks to not get tracked, or a "click or scroll anywhere to consent"), and report them to the appropriate DPA.

The DPAs often only work off consumer reports.

You need to know that these popups are a result of two separate laws: The ePrivacy directive aka Cookie Law, and GDPR. GDPR is enforceable one that you care about. A web site can process your data (e.g. for personalized ads) for one of the explicitly given reason, the most common ones being "legitimate interest", "fulfillment of a contract" and "consent".

There have been a couple recent statements about what counts and doesn't count as legitimate interest, fulfilling a contract, and consent.

You also have the right to ask the controller of the data (not the processor) for a list of data stored about you. Try it with one of said web sites! Make a clean cookie jar, use the site and only the site, send them the cookie jar, and see what data they store. (If they don't, file a complaint with the DPA)
No, they don't. Netflix is hosed on AWS, though.

I'm not completely certain, but my guess is a lot of software and midleware doesn't work well with non-continuous subnet masks.

It's one of this (many) thinks where in theory the RFC has intended support for this but in praxis it's close to unusable and better to block for most application use cases.

Like e.g. many valid email-addresses are in practice unusable and it's recommended to not support them because today they are basically only used to intentionally cause problems (I mean email addresses using quoting like `"a b"@example.com`, you always should support internationalized mail addresses, except maybe as mail provider where it depends on your target customers).
To add a bit of a mnemonic element to this story, you could introduce regex syntax in ways that relate to the characters. for instance the anything but the "bear door" part. It's a good chance to have the character be puzzled ? and surprised ! in some emotive way, so then we have an emotional story to remember that ?! means "A bear?! anything but the bear"

also. It would be nice to be able to click on the animated typing text, to have it complete instantly, if you just want to try another input.

I'm eager to create a higher quality video broadcasting (not web meeting, one way only) app for some local yoga studios I help out with and am hoping this article gives me a push in the right direction.

The audio quality on zoom is just terrible no matter if you disable DSP or not.

So many yoga classes require high quality music.

It's frustrating that chaturbate provides top notch video and audio quality for free essentially, while paying $20/mo for zoom gives you what looks like 380p video quality and audio quality I have yet to find a poor comparison for...

Does anyone know how one could emulate what chaturbate does?

Any good articles outlining how they do what they do?

Ideally, the teacher would just plop their phone down in front of them, hit broadcast, and a few seconds of buffering later 1080p video and quality audio would be visible through a browser.

Why is that so tough to do??? I haven't been able to find a single article that simplifies or distills it at all.
Well, in my ideal world a browser would ask for permission before placing a cookie at all. It shouldn't matter what the developers did, my browser would detect an attempted cookie placement, notify me, and ask to verify that that's okay.
I spend a lot of time reading research papers in various fields that the original authors were not directing toward me as an imagined audience, and get plenty of value from papers that could be called “unsuitable to the wider world”.

The ability to use the web, citation indices, etc. to discover and read papers has made the whole of the scholarly literature much more useful to me than it would have been a few decades ago.
I don't recommend anything more than 3-5 days max.

Without knowing what your goal is just try the 16:8 and eat a nutrient rich diet that is low energy. You should be able to fit 2 meals in (lunch and dinner) in a window from 12 - 8 pm. Nothing but water/coffee/tea before or after that window.

If your healthy and don't suffer from any issues, move on to one meal a day. After you master that then try a 1 or 2 day fast.

Lobbying itself is not bad: legislators need information to make decisions about things, and lobbying provides them with it.

The bad, and frankly unbelievable part, is the whole "money is speech" and the fact that it's OK for lobbyists to just transfer money in many different forms to politicians as a firm of persuasion to vote for/against certain pieces of legislation.
This is interesting, I will definitely try it, thanks!

It is really strange to you that oil company is not advertising a product that they don't have, a product which would compete with their regular product, a product which is hard to sell (more expensive and dubious value)?

My tastes may be a bit hard to model but I don't get any value from Netflix's recommendation algorithm at all. I find new things on Netflix by reading human curated reviews online and then searching for titles by name.
I think there's an opportunity right now for new, human curated indexes in the style of the old Yahoo index. AI content generation is getting too good at fooling AI curation and I'm getting less and less value in broad searches on Google. I would pay a monthly fee for hand-vetted lists of the best content on topics I'm interested in.
I’m rather happy about buying the recently updated 13” MBP and basically skipping ARM Macs. My last one lasted 8 years, so I expect this one to last roughly as long. By then they’ll _definitely_ have ARM figured out, and in the meantime I can continue enjoying x86 compatibility and VMWare. For the fairly small segment of the market that we devs represent, I suspect I’m not the only one here implementing a _reverse_ Osborne Effect. Get your x86 Mac while you still can!

I don't know the details of this project but I have seen emulators use processes more complex than a basic image upscale to get really nice results out of low resolution textures.

Yes, that would be great. The problem is that JSON doesn't actually provide this.

One of the most important aspects of a universal format is in my opinion the ability to rely on the fact that when I store a value on one system, that I retrieve the same value when I read it back on another.

JSON doesn't even do this for numbers. The documentation explicitly makes it undefined as to what the precision is. I might be able to store and retrieve the value 1099511627776 using one JSON implementation but when using another, I may get a different value.

It's probably still missing a lot features NSS supports and Firefox needs for backward compatibility and enterprise use-cases. As far as I know NSS does slightly more then "just" TLS.

Also rustls not supporting certain legacy/less secure settings can be a problem. Generally its a good idea, but sometimes you have to things like the "communicate with embedded hardware which can only do that probably backdoored eleptic curve in hardware and is too slow to do other curves in software" situation..

Through for a very high amount of use-cases this doesn't matter and rustls feature set has everything you need.
I do pay far more than the going-rate, and it is 5-6 days in the week. You could give it a try for much less and still pay more than the prevailing wage for caregiver work and have it for 1 or 2 days in the week and see if it works for you.
Hacker News doesn't have breadcrumbs either. The concept of a directory hierarchy inherently doesn't fit.

You could try to map the parent ==> child relationship of every individual post URL, which might be cool, but think about how long the URLs would get.

For sites with breadcrumbs though, the URL absolutely should follow the crumbs (and I've argued for such at my company).
"AI" is a very vague term. What you described aren't entirely "machine learning", but a combination of existing linguistic techniques and machine (deep) learning.

People confuse what AI can do, and what is AI all the time. It also doesn't help when there are so many inexperienced data scientist making promises that they can't achieve.

In your example, I'd argue that a human is not necessarily a better driver than a machine. An attentive and careful driver is certainly better than a machine right now, but there are many who drive carelessly. While a person is unlikely to mistake a square stop sign as something else, there are so many drivers that would simply ignore the sign, and traffic lights in general. They'd also drive dangerously because of road rage, and inattentiveness. And the majority of traffic accidents are caused by these drivers. A machine is unlikely to do these.

That said, until we figure out how to run all these deep learning models without a crazily expensive and power-consuming GPU, it is unlikely AI would be used as general purpose programs.
Ask HN: Is there a role or industry that needs good bug finders?
tldr: I am good at finding bugs. Dare I say, it's the most enjoyable part of my job. Is there a role or industry where this skill could be my primary contribution?

--

I started my career 20 years ago as QA but for the last decade have been a backend/data engineer. I am highly skilled at investigating difficult bugs and identifying or implementing a solution. I've done it for glitchy bugs in new development code and deep bugs in production legacy code where the original developers left years earlier.

I have a lot of patience, tool experience, and respect for this process. I've seen other developers get flustered or point fingers when they spend time on someone else's code that's not working. But to me, it's an interesting puzzle that I'd like to solve. I put myself in the developers' shoes to understand why their code was written the way it was.

Most of all, I really enjoy this task! At several jobs I've gladly taken up stories and bug tickets for work like this while my teammates run away and want to work on new development.

I'm considering doing this full-time. Is that possible? Perhaps as a contractor or working for a specific sector?

Is there even a name for this kind of role when I look at job openings?

Finally, is this good for my long-term career? Sometimes I think "yes" because there will always be bugs. But sometimes I think "no" because I might be pigeon-holing myself into a specific role that isn't known for being flashy.

Thanks!
I had the same experience. It was a video of a riot line of police with shields walking down the street, and people shooting fireworks at them. I welcome any content that shows events that the media isn't providing. But if someone is going to curate a list like this, don't sell it as something it's not.
I would think so?

Not directly in fish, because we manually set the tty flags and restore them after each execution (it's why your fish prompt doesn't break when you ^C in the middle of a redirect or when you accidentally output binary to the terminal), but e.g. in bash or if fish were to emit those escape codes directly. But yeah, it definitely seems like a good hack and it would cut down on the bandwidth requirements (you can notice the lag when using fish/zsh over ssh on a lossy connection).

Note that depending on the xn attribute, \r may or may not end up taking you to col 0 of the same row, depending on if the previous output caused a soft wrap but didn't include the trailing new line - you could wind up at col 0 of the previous row instead, if I'm reading it correctly!

> I can certainly imagine a world where DRM-free e-books are the norm and unlicensed distribution is limited only by legal threat and not by technical means.

The state of YouTube proves that the copyright industry will not accept such a world. They want the technology industry to prevent copyright infringement from happening. They don't want to have to sue anyone after it has happened. Copyright infringement is widespread, decentralized and international so legal threats simply don't work. Prevention is the only option.

Copyright infringement prevention is only possible if they seize control of our computers. That is morally objectionable and cannot be allowed to happen even if it destroys the copyright industry.

> how do we get the benefits of the GPL - especially receiving things like source code - if we no longer have copyright?

We don't. The GPL was created by Stallman in reaction to copyright protection being extended towards source code. Without copyright, the software development world might revert to what it was like before that event. I don't fully understand what it was like in those days but there are descriptions in his books.
For better or for worse, unix simply wasn't designed that way. Changing this now would mean breaking so many assumptions hard-coded into a vast majority of unix applications. Considering how complex unix TTYs are, there is practically zero chance this can be done transparently to existing programs. It's going to need a redesign of the I/O system, at which point, we might as well call this new system Plan10.

I also think there are problems with the approach itself. Making the shell sit between programs would complicate the interaction between various programs and introduce new bottlenecks in the shell. Additionally, it likely won't be an improvement over the current situation. Rather, it would just introduce another layer of incompatibility in the shell that programs would have to deal with.

This makes complete sense if you replace a power plant that produces electricity with an industrial process that produces heat, e.g. a blast furnace.

Then you can grab the waste CO₂ and turn it into something useful (ultimately liquid fuel, plastics, etc) by using the cheap solar energy, of which we often have a surplus at daytime.

This has the downside of only operating efficiently during sunshine, or needing a power transmission line from somewhere under sunshine currently (e.g. during local night).
