I'm a fan of the result achieved with just the HDMI cable in that video - the first pass of processing that's removed by the gameshark hides the dithering, so removing this seems to make things look worse in a lot of cases (and as you point out makes it feel less like an n64 and more like a PS1 - just add some polygon jitter and you'd be all the way there). But the second layer of processing that the HDMI cable removes just adds more blur for no reason.

Edit: actually watched the whole video and realized the HDMI cable is actually doing post hoc image processing to reverse the blur, which is why the dithering is still wiped out but the blur is gone, which is pretty neat.
The third-hand description that I've found best describing the single engine burn is that it is comparable to driving fast on a gravel road.

It's bumpy as hell of a ride due to all the vibration from the engine placement but otherwise it's not too bad.
Your first link is not working for me on mobile. Thanks for the clarification though.

Exp(x^2) is a finite composition of a polynomial and an exponential function so from what you posted, it does fall into the Wikipedia definition of elementary function.
...allowing Facebook to build a profile of you regardless of whether you use Facebook or not.

Why isn't there a law to prevent this while there's a law that accomplishes nothing except guarrantied annoyances? Is not the government that makes laws?

You're right that a 'law is only words unless there's someone who will inflict a penalty'. The question we've seen over the past few weeks however is 'who watches the watchmen?'

The answer is, apparently, nobody. The police should not be above the law they're enforcing. The only thing that's changed is that with the mass adoption of smart phones we're able to see from multiple angles how deep the corruption goes.
Over the last week I have been starting to realize that what you said is true in general, and not just of protests. It seems that police inflame and instigate most of the violent situations they are involved in. We are literally paying to be abused. We shouldn't be trying to get that money back; we shouldn't even be paying it in the first place.
> if it means the same object/array spread syntax can be used everywhere for the same effect

It cannot. Because, as you yourself said it: the function must know how to deal with object-as-parameters.

> relating on composition of core syntax features over introducing new syntax

This doesn't work for named arguments. They either exist in a language, and you can use them everywhere, or they don't, and you're left with inconsistently implemented workarounds.

As a bisexual guy, I enjoyed this article.

I'd like to point something out, though: the title contains an anachronism. "Bisexual" is a thoroughly modern category, just as "gay" and "straight" are. Most cultures have not categorized sexuality as we do, with "we" being the post-Enlightenment West.

Propensities toward attraction were recognized, but it never formed a core part of personal identity. Plato would have been very confused if you asked him if he was straight, bi, or gay.

Another anachronism in the article: the West never practiced "racism" in the modern sense until the sixteenth century at the earliest. Race was an ideological lens to interpret and justify colonial and imperial expansion.
“For example, microprocessor degradation may lead to lower performance, necessitating a slowdown, but not necessary failures. In mission-critical AI applications, such as ADAS, a sensor degradation may directly lead to AI failures and hence system failure.”

This is probably a superficial analogy, but this made me think of people suffering from dementia in old age.
While I will celebrate the fall of NewsCorp, old media does include a swath of local television and print media that are doing good work for the communities they're part of.

I often hear that concern met with unsympathetic calls to get with the times, but making a media company purely out of social media isn't profitable either. We'll be left with nothing but social media if we're not careful.

If the "library" division of Internet Archive is engaging in book-related activity that puts the 501c3 non-profit donation-funded web and public domain ARCHIVE at risk, perhaps IA should be legally separated into two organizations.

There is no reason for humanity's digital web of Alexandria to be burned for a dispute with book publishers who have no legal claim on the contents of the Wayback machine.

The many people who donated to Internet Archive were doing so primarily to preserve materials that were unavailable elsewhere, e.g. lost websites. They were not primarily donating money to enable lending of currently published books, which are widely available via multiple channels.
Great case study!!

From the article :

Swift is a crescendo of special cases stopping just short of the general; the result is complexity in the semantics, complexity in the behaviour (i.e. bugs), and complexity in use (i.e. workarounds).

Ironically, cookies were GDPR-compliant when first created, and they envisioned the problems they're causing today. Hell, parts original cookie specs read very much like GDPR.

1. Poverty, especially generational poverty, is extremely difficult to get out of. Studying in a university means you won't be able to help your family financially for 5-8 years. Which can be really difficult for many.

2. No role model. Let's say you can somehow manage those hardships. But how do you know all this effort and education loans will be worth it? There are not many role models for African Americans in STEM so they are afraid to dream big. For Indians it's very easy, our culture (especially the Brahmin upper-middle class culture) has always had plenty of role models.

3. They never really paid the true price of getting out of poverty. Education in India and China is highly state sponsored, so all the quality education you got there was mostly tax paid, which enabled them to immigrate to US in the first place. If you give African Americans the same quality education fully sponsored by the state things will change for them too.
I live basically in the CHAZ in Seattle, they haven't taken over anything. The police just abandoned the precinct building and left it unlocked and people are gathering peacefully to listen to other people speak. It's like a street festival or a farmer's market but with an explicit aim of stopping police from killing black people.
Got it, thanks. Since that's that's been a big trend recently, is there anything that can be done to make sure posts like these don't just immediately get flagged into oblivion? I can absolutely see campaigns against HN that flag these sorts of posts to get off the front page.

Not expecting the answer to be yes, but figured I'd ask.
How is the adoption of IPFS going, any example application that are using it and are themselves being used? I'm thinking of integrading it into a product, it has the best blockchain like properties without the mining madness.
Thousands of police officers are not killed actually, their jobs are actually not even the 10 most dangerous jobs in America. As a black man you are more likely to be killed by a cop than it is likely a cop dies in the line of duty (ftr around 1 in every 1000 black men and boys are expected to be killed by police. In 2019 there are over 600,000 law enforcement officers but the Officer Down statistic lists 106 deaths...)
Depends on the intensity. 7 minutes of push ups is a lot of push ups, for instance.

Plus the convenience probably helps to get people over the initial hump and used to a daily workout, and they can expand from there
Well if the furthest stuff we can see all happens to be the same distance away from us, that would mean the universe is larger than the observable, unless were in the center, which, as history shows, is a bad assumption to make.
That would definitely fuck up the housing market for starters.
A reasonable crane operator would hopefully call for help and not push it to the limit.

Personally, I’m not convinced cops need to go for a 100% apprehension rate all the time no matter what with 100% control of every situation.

Mostly because of the rate at which crimes happen without a cop around and then go unresolved.
Because there's a huge difference between being "blatantly non-compliant" vs "properly compliant".
There's also two halves to this, sure the TV itself might not be made up of clean square pixels like an LCD. But the source image that's being sent to it absolutely does have a discrete horizontal and vertical resolution in square/rectangular pixels.
If I had been trying unsuccessfully to monetise my uninformed, poorly researched, and barely coherent opinions, I too would pivot to a strategy of blaming platforms that peddle similarly poor content for free and demand 10% of their advertising revenue.
Award winning virtual reality startup to boost tourism in Tanzania
First, I always ask ex-founder candidates to tell me about the startup(s) that they ran. This is a chance for them to really shine. At the same time, I look for warning signs that they won't work well with others (random example: look for an extreme ratio between when they say "I" vs. "We"), or signals that being the boss of other people has become an entrenched part of their identity.

Unless I expect that it'll be an extremely sore topic, I will typically also just ask them why they want to work with us. I think that some people are shy about the questions you can ask in all sorts of situations. If you ask people they'll often tell you.
I didn't know about such stories. It is fair to ask for context of each videos. Videos are just like words, they can be taken out of context.

The police abandoned the city blocks first. The intent was to purposefully set up a situation where cops can point to rioting in an area they intentionally vacated so riots could happen. Protestors have responded by sitting and watching documentaries about police brutality in that area.
I would expect the problems to become both exponentially harder and exponentially more to solve as we scale down. But vice versa, using the process and knowledge we gain from 5 nm chips might improve the lifetime of 7 nm chips by orders of magnitude. And again using the 4/3/2 nm process knowledge we might obtain very durable 5 nm chips in a few years.
The trick of the GDPR vs those browser technologies is that there’s actually regulation because obviously the industry can not be trusted to self-regulate.

Indeed, there should be an enforced UI, but that’s not how the EU tends to regulate on privacy, and without EU regulation none of the companies currently trying to entirely ignore the GDPR will use it. They have put out guidance that some current attempts at pretending to comply are illegal, and I expect to see fines regarding that in the next couple of years - the difficulty is creating a solid case that isn’t going to undermine the GDPR through case law. I wonder, though, if there were a dirt simple API for consent in the browser, whether independent developers who would honestly like to comply would use it.
That's only a function of how good they are at what they do. They have to engage in over 10 million incidents a year. Any one of those could be a routine traffic stop that suddenly turns into a gang bust and an attempt is made on their own life. They don't have the luxury of foresight of knowing if they're coming home today or not. They know they're a target. Contrast that with your average aeron chair programmer and I'd say their job is incredibly fucking dangerous.

Edit: It's number 15 and only because 2019 was a near record low year, following decades of decline and improved equipment and training. That's a function of how good they are. And if you make them worse or non-existent, crime will go up.

While the construction industry is accidentally dangerous, cops are victims of intentional violence and hatred. They have to deal with drugged out, abusive, angry people all the time. They have to console rape victims. They have to help assess suicides, murders, deadly car accidents and all kinds of unpleasant bullshit. They see death on the job every single day. It's not a walk in the park. It causes unbelievable stress (especially in high crime districts) and it pays 1/3 of what a junior JS dev makes and they don't get stock options or grants

It's 5x more deadly than average occupation and 6x more injurious. It also causes loads of psychological and emotional stress because they have to deal with people going through some of the worst episodes of their lives...all the time.

It can - you pass objects to functions declared with named parameters, and you pass lists to functions declared with positional parameters. It is true that the function must be written one way one or the other a. priori (it could theoretically detect, but that’s not ideal).

And what I’m saying is that if they don’t exist in a language and you can instead using other more core things in the language to implement them rather than adding new syntax (complexity) to the language itself, that’s (in my opinion) a better language and the one I’d rather work in.
It's not so surprising that Australia's government listens to what Murdoch wants. After all Murdoch played an important role in their election.

What worked for me: I got an internship at a big company in the field I wanted to work in. I stayed with that company throughout the entirety of my studies, I knew just about everybody in the company and had a list of job offers to choose from when I graduated. I declined all of them and moved overseas with the same company - was difficult to find but I managed it in the end. Had I wanted to stay in the US it would have been very easy to find work. Also, I graduated in a not so bad economic time - so I guess luck was part of it as well.
investing in a business (buying stocks) is not the same as speculating. Options trading is speculative in nature, because for someone to "win", someone else has to lose.

That is not the case for stock purchases - the stock appreciates in value because the business it represents appreciated in value.

Just because something has risk, doesn't automatically make it gambling.

Ask HN: B2B cycletime from zero to first deal closed?
Context: We have an MVP out, lots of interested prospects, and a few POCs going. I'm trying to set realistic expectations towards my sales cofounder; however, so far, zero deals materialized. So I'd like to ask B2B founders:
* What sector are you in roughly? (If willing to share, also corpname)
* How long did it took from company founded (whatever that means to you) to first customer deal closed?

Thanks in advance!
They are symmetric in the sense that you can both buy and sell options, so whatever payoff curve you get e.g., by buying an option (say unlimited downside and fixed upside) you can sell the same option to get the mirrored outcome (unlimited upside, fixed downside).

speculating is not a net societal negative - it allows one party to trade the risk away.

But of course, the same instrument can be abused by gamblers. But it's not the instrument itself that's the problem - it's that there are people gambling with money they can't lose.

Hi. I do research pertaining to this disease and can answer your very thoughtful question. It is in fact safe for pregnant women to have high levels of fetal hemoglobin. There is a condition known as Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin (HPFH) in rare individuals who express near 100% fetal hemoglobin into adulthood, and they are able to undergo pregnancy perfectly normally with no harm to mother or child. While it is true that HbF has a mildly higher affinity to oxygen, it has not been shown in population-based studies that having higher levels of HbF by itself causes any actual clinical adverse events.
I think the most frustrating part is that people don't know what NAT they are behind. I wish WebRTC easily told people the attributes of their NAT. Not sure if it would help production deploys, but would make learning a lot easier.

Someone contributed a really cool tool to Pion stun-nat-behavior[0] that I use a lot. It prints out NAT details. It uses the modern/correct details. I see a lot of docs that still use symmetric NAT etc.. RFC 4787 [1] suggests against all that.

Police have been systematically killing people, inciting riots, executing pets as a matter of course, and using chemical weapons of war on civilians. Many police departments have more funding than any other portion of the budget combined and they still can’t stop themselves from executing civilians, stealing their property, and lying about it. A black man is more likely to be killed by a cop than a cop is to be killed at all in the line of duty.

Law enforcement is necessary(strictly, a crime investigation unit, a force capable of handling armed/bomb situations, etc.) but something has seriously gone wrong with the way it’s been implemented in many cities, counties, and states.
I agree that the old media is worried about losing control of the narrative. However, i think that sweeping all negative coverage of Facebook under this rug is not helpful either.

There is a real loss to the community if newspapers don’t have the money to pay journalists to do real, investigative journalism - and it’s tough to argue that Facebook has not accelerated the decline of newspapers.
It's the default, and most people who would change it (let's be honest, for privacy reasons) would switch to something like Firefox.
Noted. Thanks for clarifying.
not investment advice: no, you shouldn't. the spreads you get can be tighter (good when you want to buy and sell), and any hypothetical front running of your order would lead to miniscule slippage over the long-run. buying SPY and TLT is more or less the same experience in robinhood as it is in schwab, TDA, etc.

even as a day trader i wonder if it matters. i would be more annoyed that RH doesn't allow options on indices or futures, which leads to RH traders loading up on similar-but-not-identical products (eg USO as a substitute for oil futures or whatever VIX etf's remain standing)

> How does such a line of argument square with the fact that even making personal use of a digital item inevitably involves multiple copy operations on a local device in the best case? Even moving it between two partitions on the same device involves copying it.

Most digital goods are "sold" as a copyright license.
I also agree on this. I think in terms of liability humans who one can sue when they make a mistake is more valuable than a machine.

That's why in life critical applications companies who are capable of taking the risk are scarce, because when accidents happen, the company has to take responsibility. It cannot be resolved by just firing employees.
That is suprisigly low number. US has nation wide riots right now. If police or national guard did they work, there would be way more cases.

Adjusted for probability, upside and downside are theoretically the same with options.

> Unlike when purchasing long positions in stocks, when trading options it's possible to lose many times more money than you initially put in.

The converse is also true. It’s entirely possible to almost guarantee yourself a tiny profit and almost no downside risk as it is to create infinite risk.

So EMH definitely maps to the options market.

There was an SEC enforcement action a few years ago where they went against a platform trading company that catered to especially unsophisticated and risk taking clientele.
