You don't need analog computation. The theory of Computable Real Analysis still assumes a digital computer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_analysis

See here for a concrete application of the theory: https://icfp19.sigplan.org/details/icfp-2019-papers/15/Sound...

Another application is the Android calculator, which computes over exact real numbers in the sense described by Computable Analysis.

Finally, it's debatable whether analog computation achieves true computation over the real numbers. The presence of physical noise, and the fact that many physical quantities (like electrical charge) are ultimately discrete at the quantum level, implies that it doesn't really work AFAICT.

> there’s no way you can work a full time job, stay healthy, and dedicate enough time to a serious new endeavor

I agree. I didn't stay very healthy when I was working a day job and also working nights / weekends. It was exhausting.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough savings to be able to quit my job. It was definitely a trade off.
The sheer arrogance of thinking the people that disagree with your controversial topic are the "malicious, ignorant mobs". Hahaha, the irony here is funny.

For the most part, cancel culture has been applied to writing letters criticizing people, boycotting people/companies, and other actions consistent with 'speech'.

Of course outright harassment and doxing should be dealt with harshly.
I understood it so as well. It seems to be the most horrible application of machine learning I have heard of lately.
Is this any different from the Find My Apple Stuff feature on modern iDevices? One of the options is remote wiping. I assume android as a similar feature.
Amazon already created a pretty perfect show in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (89% on Rotten Tomatoes). That is going to be really hard for them to top.

HN is filled with people who are hardly ever on the receiving end of abuse bemoaning "cancel culture". Yeah yeah, cry me a river.

People are really out here using Justine Sacco, who spoke about going to a country and getting AIDS and got rightfully attacked by the citizens of that country, as a poster child.

Lol it seems like a lot of you have lived lives without consequences for your actions and are suddenly surprised that this is how the real world works. I personally wouldn't cancel anyone but I hope cancel culture lives forever.

> In addition, the file format is less likely to be affected by ‘bit errors’ and other file system errors due to its more efficient coding structure.

This is confusing. I think they mean that a file is less likely to be corrupt if it's smaller, which is debatable. But I wouldn't use a newer codec just to make smaller files, I'd make them higher quality at the same size. In that case you need redundancy, which is the opposite of compression efficiency.

> A higher dynamic range is also supported by the format with no limit of an image’s bit depth.

JPEG supports this, but most decoders don't because pixel depth is not something you can just abstract away. Do JPEG2K decoders actually support 10/12-bit? HEIF does.

I think that's the problem. Any condition beyond being not insulting and not threatening leaves a place to drive in a wedge by those opposed to free speech. They say, if you won't let this Nazi speak, you shouldn't let this person I associate with Nazi-ism speak.

Instead we should let the Nazi speak. And the pedophile, human extinction advocate, anti-vaxxer, etc. We don't have to listen, but neither should we punch them, rhetorically or otherwise, as long as they follow some minimal content neutral standard of decorum.
A vanishingly small percentage of beef comes from the lands under discussion. [0] The reason is simple: cattle were not evolved for the alpine desert. Consumers wouldn't even notice if cattle were outlawed completely on BLM land. Wildlife biologists certainly would notice!

TLDR ooh Amazon has pagers, I wonder how?

Are there any pager networks left in the US? I've always been interested in them out of historical curiosity because I was too young to use them when they were actually a thing, but from what I understood, pagers are pretty much not a thing anymore.
People are mad because their livelihoods are being ruined with drive-by character attacks from people whose sole purpose is tilling the data landscape for any scrap they can latch onto to accuse a person of a heinous moral crime. It's as simple as going out and branding someone with the R-word without consequence; even if you're just making shit up you stand to lose nothing whereas even the label towards a person can destroy a person's life. You don't have to demonstrate any sort of credibility or saintly behavior; just toss an oppression monicker at someone and stand back while the mob handles the rest for you.
Is your point that because these issues have been fixed there will never be a new camera exploit in the future?

I don't see how what you're saying supports that. If your point is simply that Apple has resolved camera vulnerabilities in the past, that's nice, but doesn't exactly give me much peace of mind about future vulnerabilities.
I used this on the 2016 for years, but even though it's incredibly thin, it is too thick for the 2020. Would love to find a replacement if anyone has a suggestion.

I used to believe this was correct 100% of the time, but I think it's been demonstrated over the past ~5-10 years that it's possible for a brand of these folks to emerge that practically thrives on looking like fools, in a twisted sort of underdog way that goes hand-in-hand with the culture of trolling.

American here: When I'm in the country, I use a prepaid plan from an MVNO. It seems to cost less than what I hear people saying they pay for a similar contract plan on Rogers or Bell, and it definitely involves less interaction with creatively dressed wildlife.

Maybe it's more obnoxious than it's worth when you're using it full time instead of a month at a time, but it seems to work well. I keep meaning to see if it would make sense to switch to a prepaid MVNO for my US cellular service as well. AT&T and Verizon are, for their part, a consortium of skunks and raccoons standing on top of each other in a trench coat.
Very very unlikely. Low power leds rarely malfunction.

Add more than one if this is a concern, and it can still be compact. This is already done today in "RGB" leds.

That's a really odd statement since Stitch's main feature is multi-channel inventory synchronization and Square doesn't do that at all.
>> [pg] That does count for a lot with us. It's surprising how many of the groups who apply have a cofounder who's not willing to quit his or her job. It's a worrying sign when someone who knows the company a lot better than we do isn't willing to bet on it. But again, there are always exceptions.

The conversation is about the dropbox founder quitting his job to wok on dropbox part-time.

The problem I see with pg's logic is that the founder and YC are not betting the same value on the company. The way I see it, YC is asked to bet some money, but the founder is asked to bet everything they got. If YC was asked to bet everything they had on that one company, they'd say no. In that case, having a plan B is not a sign of lack of resolve, it's a sign of sanity.

But I'm probably missing something. I really don't have the whatsitcalled, entrepreneurial spirit. It all looks like gambling to me and I hate gambling, especially when the odds are stacked against me; which they always are, otherwise it's not gambling. So I guess I don't get it.
Why do you think Amazon doesn't have a clear legal basis to decide which devices are allowed to connect to their internal network services? Or, for that matter, to decide which devices ca be taken into non-public, secured parts of Amazon buildings?
This is certainly better, but it doesn't really get us to the point the GP is describing, where authenticating "feels about as much trouble as how you have to hit the spacebar to make spaces when typing, ie you aren't even aware of it." I have to somehow get both my phone and my token out of my pocket at the same time, and hold them together, which can be awkward on a cramped subway, or when I'm holding something in my other hand.
That is squarely where the problem lies. There are good open source developers out there as evidenced by the great Github projects. There are also good designers out there such as those that maintain Dribbble.com profiles. What keeps them from collaborating to produce top notch projects?

Yes they do... The problem is some users in Germany actually prefer to use their personal one so they don't have to carry two.. But due to this mindset they can't.

I don't think the German approach is always the best.
It depends on the execution.

It feels super nice on iPad and if you're running a Catalyst app or such on macOS that's designed for it, it could be cool to be able to toggle between the cursors.
With everything being digital these days, physical failsafes are slowly becoming a luxury. I love having the vibration/sound-on hard toggle on my iphone. I don't see why this can't exist for something people feel so insecure about like webcam functionality - a physical toggle that physically disconnects webcam wiring.
I've never written Haskell but I'm a Agda programmer (a Haskell dialect with dependent types) and I almost always put all the types and don't rely on type inference. The obvious exception is if something quick like

a = b

otherwise I'd always do

a : Some -> Type -> MoreType
a = f b

Readability is a reason why. Types are extremely pedagogic tools. I believe when I think about my code, I just think about types. I don't think about computation, just the topology of types. Can I go to Int from X. If not why? This is very different than when I write Python code. So seeing types in code helps me a lot understand what's going on.

But the real reason is: errors. It's so much more easier to understand errors when types are explicit.
You cannot unify a string and an integer. 'Base type' is just an abstraction over the enumerable primitive types (bool, unit, char, etc). It's generally understood that these are simple cases to unify, so they aren't even mentioned most of the time.
There's a lot more moving parts to go wrong.
TIL, thanks, I didn't know that.
same, had a really bad experience with Stitch. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of custom middleware connections between Shopify and Shipstation. InfoPlus is another one that was pretty decent when I used it several years ago.
Is it always on? This is really cool. I like the idea of self-sustaining electronics(robotics in particular).

I wonder if there's any gain using a UBEC or something vs. the car cigarette lighter usb thing you're using to jump from 12V to 5V.

Edit: yeah I was going to say, I think I saw someone do a toolbox build before where it was solar powered/had a GSM module in it for communication... but I don't think it was a website, still neat.
Imagine you tried to replicate your PC by creating a simulation of the CPU. Sure you could probably simulate some of the functions without too much difficulty, but the value of the PC is not in it’s CPU alone, it’s in the interaction of all the components, the screen, the ram, the disk, the keyboard, the GPU. Isolated these components provide a fraction of the value they do when they are combined and simulating the whole PC is an order of magnitude at least greater than simulating only the CPU because you also need to simulate the environment it’s in.
I think this is what the author of the article is trying to say, not that it’s totally impossible just that we are nowhere near doing what needs to be done to effectively recreate the highly emergent properties (strong AI) of the human body.
I am very sorry, I don't have any. It's been a long time since then
The interview covers this to an extent, the reason is a lack of appreciation of the potential and an overestimation of the complexity. It’s a somewhat complicated thing to multiplex all the samples correctly, it’s too complex a scheme for an individual lab scientist to do, it either requires a robot or some form of semi automation, I think in Rwanda they were using a smartphone app to tell the scientists which batch to put each sample in. I think that if you could convince the worlds public health bodies, and we can get saliva sampling off the ground in combination you could get to the levels of testing needed to actually do national level surveillance.

Dropbox feels more bearucratic internally than Google, a company two orders of magnitude its size. I feel like it is a perfect case of all the “VC-style” advice of “CEO job changes every 6 months and you should adapt” going haywire; mistaking the focus to be building an abstract hierarchical HR org, while completely losing the ability, vision, or desire to build a product that people love.

I find the text on the reference decoded image easier to read, despite the colorful speckles surrounding the words. JPEG2PNG doesn't smear the letters a lot, but does appear to slightly deform them. Consider the leading "a" in "add license, readme", whose upper half seems to be closer together after the JPEG2PNG run.

However, now I'm wondering whether my impression that the reference decoded text is easier to read is a form of overfitting. I have spent the past 20 years reading low-quality JPEG screenshots on the internet, maybe the perceptual centers of my brain have developed an unblocking algorithm?

It's too early to call it decisively but it really seems like Pepe the Frog was a one hit wonder and that this isn't going to work nearly as well a second time around. That movement has committed the cardinal sin of defining itself and letting itself be identified with concrete ideas, things, and personalities.

I watched that wave build in the early 20-teens, crest around 2016, and recede. I never went for it and always saw it as mindless and ugly, but I have to admit it did have a certain shimmer of novelty to it. That's gone now. I can recognize 4chan /pol instantly now, and since it has no actual substance the fact that it can be recognized at all renders it inherently banal and un-interesting.

A huge fraction of the popular wing of that meme-complex has also been pulled into the absurd tar pit of the Qanon cult, a brain virus from which I doubt they will recover. They're in the process of becoming right-wing new-agers, which is just hilarious.

Between the never-showered CHUD odor of 4chan /pol and the asinine LARP that is Q, it's now possible to instantly recognize and write off virtually anything even tangentially connected to the meme-complex that helped meme Trump into office. That effectively cleanses the cultural fringe, making way for something genuinely new.
