> We like them because you can make one or two cups without wasting a lot of coffee or water.

So just like a regular espresso machine. You put espresso powder for one or two cups in the portafilter, put some water in the tank, done. Tank doesn't need to be filled completely, but you can just keep the water in there for the next espresso. No waste created, and you can even reuse the powder as fertilizer.
Why IPFS won’t probably be powering RPKI anytime soon
For our masters thesis, myself and another colleague looked at the possibility of using IPFS as a distribution mechanism within RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Public_Key_Infrastructure.

The summary of our research findings is that, in general, IPFS performs worse than HTTP at content retrieval. This poor performance characteristics would probably be the reason why IPFS won't be explored as an alternative distribution mechanism within RPKI in the nearest future.

The report can be found here: https://homepages.staff.os3.nl/~delaat/rp/2019-2020/p95/report.pdf.

Comments, thoughts are welcome!
That's the wrong point, you misunderstand the situation.

The article was about caricatures and the movie, which both were definitely and verifiably censored and suppressed. (As usual, the bans are unevenly and arbitrarily enforced.)

You talk about toys and books, which are not a problem.
Sure, but I don't think those things are related. It's possible to solve problems without causing package bloat. Typescript and Prettier have no dependencies, for instance.
I hope you can enable doing the vice versa some day. I mean HLS/DASH to single file containers like MP4. It seems that you can't pull segments from remote URLs in M3U file for the time being.
The metcal PS900 is actually cheaper now than the equivalent bottom end Weller TCP units and much much cheaper than the Hakko FX951 irons.

The TS type irons and the T12's are however 100% not safe devices. The tip mount/socket shorts out which will blow the guts out of the MOSFET and there are various brown-out conditions which cause the thing to crash and dump the entire supply into the tip until it glows orange. And also the thermal sensor fails unsafe. That risk is especially high when you have high capacity supplies.

An image to back up my claim:

https://imgur.com/uE1CPn0

Buying a decent, simple iron will probably cost you less than your house does if it goes up.

As for leaving irons on I have never done it. Metcal PS900 also has an optional stand which puts the iron in safe standby mode. They heat up within 2 seconds when you pick the iron up as they do not use normal heating elements. They use RF heating. There is no condition that can cause a complete thermal overload cycle.

On the T12 irons which are sometimes mentioned they are borderline illegal when it comes to the power supply design earthing and will quite happily kill you dead if you don't rework them first.

Is economy worth it? Probably not.
This is a big effect size at least, so less likely to be a fluke. Also many previous results indicate interferons (whatever they are, I don’t actually know!) are useful. I believe differences in interferon production between sexes also explain why men get worse Covid. So there is existing background information that makes it more likely to be true.

Could still be a flop of course...
The Notre Dame Review of Philosophy provides book reviews of contemporary philosophy books, in ways which are good pointers to knowing if you want to pick up a book yourself. I'd also recommend The New Left Review, though it's subscription-based for most articles (though comparatively cheap for a subscription).
The average anime or children's cartoon won't compress well with this approach unless it's authored with it in mind - if you look at the average anime episode it's full of raster effects, layered gradients, 3d perspective, and mixed in 3DCG. Worse still the anime is typically sent to the broadcaster in an already-lossy format so the vectorizer will have to handle macroblocking and noise.

Here are two random screen captures from anime airing this season:

Suffice it to say that vectorizing this content would be difficult and the vector representation wouldn't be particularly small.
> That doesn't negate his point (that RobinHood can fill your order just as well, or better, than eTrade or Fidelity)

That may be right, but "better" order filling or any other bells and whistles will not help to beat the market or gain substantial benefits from it in the long run. I've seen traders sending orders in slow command line and making substantial returns, so the tool perhaps is not the instrument for success on the market in the long run. It's like saying that green car will drive you faster/safer/etc compared to black or white cars, while the most important contribution to speed and safety lies between steering wheel and driver's seat.

> You can (and should) use stop limit prices to guarantee a desirable price in which case there's nothing a hedge fund can do to bump you

Needless to say orders may not (and most certainly will not) be filled when market (or HF) make sharp moves.
Computers can now produce text that is indistinguishable from (badly) human-produced text. Arguably they always could; it’s less bad now than ever.

The “Turing test”/Chinese Room school of thought would assume that as the text becomes better, it is at some point good evidence of reasoning behind the scenes. I never bought that: there should be “easier” ways (than reasoning) if you just want to produce human-level text output.
Each capsule contains 5-7g of coffee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nespresso), so that's roughly 35-50 capsules per 250g bag of ground coffee. Even if the recycling scheme was used by all consumers (highly unlikely) these things are still vastly more resource intensive than alternatives.

Let that sink in... ARM has an instruction which zeros out an implementation defined amount of memory...

How can ARM ever hope to become the new-x86 with things like that? It's pretty rare a programmer wants a randomly sized bit of memory zeroed...

For many, the suffering is not worth any vision. For some, like myself, doing nothing is a greater suffering.
This reminds me of a paper from 2005 by Daniel Sýkora et al. [1] which tries something very similar, with the specific use case of animation video. The authors describe it best in the abstract I think:

> Video Codec for Classical Cartoon Animations with Hardware Accelerated Playback

> We introduce a novel approach to video compression which is suitable for traditional outline-based cartoon animations. In this case the dynamic foreground consists of several homogeneous regions and the background is static textural image. For this drawing style we show how to recover hybrid representation where the background is stored as a single bitmap and the foreground as a sequence of vector images.

The idea of using prior knowledge about the nature of the content to decide on an encoding scheme makes intuitive sense to me, though I'm not a codec person so I don't know how feasible it would be to make these ideas into the hardware-accelerated codecs we know from other methods.

Of course, these methods would make the most sense when used directly by the animation studios during export, not as an afterthought. But I'll take what we can get.

By the way, the corpus of Sýkora's works [2] is really really impressive in my opinion. He gave a talk in my institute while I was researching methods around neural style, and his take on parametric models, paired with the quality (and speed!) of his results, really left a mark, if not to say they made me seriously question wtf I was doing there. His work is strictly tailored to a
professional animation / video production setting, so it seems extremely applicable compared to the toy-like nature of neural style methods. That is not to say he doesn't know about those. His team's recent papers actually fruitfully combine the two.

I've spent two years with them and didn't see Erlang anywhere. It was occasionally mentioned as obscure thing you are forced to do in some other department, while rest considered themselves lucky to be using C++. There were also teams doing Java, Python, JS, Matlab, roughly in that order of popularity.
I can see the plot twist from there, where the protagonist was in fact not a human all along :-)

It's interesting that in such a setup, all participants must pretend to be judges. I've always felt uncomfortable that the Turing test is rewarding good lying. The AI must lie to pass. But developing judge AI is very interesting I think.

Even in your setup, immediately, the Judge-side winner is not guaranteed to be a human, since each match results in an evaluation of both sides and AIs can be trained to detect other AIs. And obviously once we have one that is very good at judging, we can fold it over itself for self-improvement.

Actually I wonder if being a good Turing test judge is an easier goal than passing the Turing test itself. All you need is come up with interesting questions and understand enough of the answers to make a judgment. It should be relatively easy to create this dataset by combining GPT-3 turing test and Mechanical turk turing tests. Can AI beat humans at this task before we have full AGI?

A while ago someone posted a Show HN thread where you would be matched with 50% probability with a human or AI and you could ask questions to guess which. In reality there was no AI, it was all humans vs humans, and they were harvesting Turing test questions!
> - enable HTTPS

I really wish HTTPS hadn't changed the URL scheme so you could host both HTTPS and fallback HTTP under the same URL. However most HTTPS sites will redirect http://domain/(.*) to https://domain/$1 (or at least they should) so this doesn't need to break URLs.

Well sure, but git invented that wheel before you. Just use the last 11 characters for local discussions/notes/whatever.

Finally, what about people who are non-native/fluent in English ?

"e0e93156-c68b-493d-bf31-19048db7dd9e" flows accross borders and languages

"Romeo Romeo Where For Art Thou Romeo" could easily be meaningless gibberish for a non-native/fluent English speaker, and also opens up totally un-necessary issues of pronunciation and spelling.

There is also the possibility certain words might mean something different in another language. Such as the famous Colgate in Spanish which means "go hang yourself" !

> avoid manual espresso machines - even with consistent top quality semi-auto machines good espresso is not easy

I was always able to get something I enjoyed drinking out of an entry level, single boiler, home espresso machine. It was also fun and meditative learning the skill and doing the routine.

I'd take a less than perfect home espresso over just endless other brewed methods. I love an occasional pour-over, but not every day.

Everyone always says to avoid it, and that's true if you can't envisage doing it a couple of times a day (in which case, the cost and kitchen workspace requirements make it silly), but personally, I'd take an 80% espresso at home over not.
Five Best Practices for Proactive Security Posture Management
The best cheap iron is a Metcal PS900. You can look for Metcal MX units on ebay which tend to go for not much. They can switch from soldering 0402 parts to nuts onto bolts without changing the tips or damaging anything:

Nothing _wrong_ with Julia, and likely my knowledge of it is outdated. But my point is, Python ranks, in popularity, quality and appropriateness, as a top choice for so many categories of SE. It’s not like a, say, good scientific programming language with an also surprisingly good web front end. Not sure you would say that about Julia, for lack of popularity if nothing else.

Why are people overcomplicating web video so much?

With the HTML5 video tag it's not much more complicated than serving an an <img>. You still "need" two formats, I know that sucks (but av1 will hopefully become the solution). A small to medium sized blog can just upload the files to shared hosting (or even archive.org if space is sparse). No JS, no CDN needed.

Looks like this instruction can't even be trapped to emulate a different behaviour. So that means if you design code to run on one arm CPU, you couldn't run it on another even with special kernel support to emulate the behaviour of the original CPU.

I am not sure of what is the historical order of things: in Latin the word "anus" does also mean "ring" or "circle", although it later came to only retain its anatomical meaning, while its diminutive retained the general meaning. But as for what caused what, I have no idea.

Let me just note that there are other words that descend from the Latin diminutive instead of the basic form. For example, "castrum" with its diminutive "castellum" became "castello" in Italian and "castle" in English, while the base form was retained only in toponyms (the suffix "chester" in English and "castro" in Italian). As for "anellus", I see no compelling reason to use the diminutive instead of the base form. I guess it's just an artifact of time (with a funny result: since Italian has again suffixes for diminutive and augmentative, we can use the words "castellino" and "castellone", literally a "little little castrum" and "big little castrum"; confusing!).
Gmail is by far not the best mail system - in enterprise settings it's possible the worst actually.

It may be "capitalist" in the sense that things are being bought/sold/owned sure. But it's being portrayed as a concept/occurrence that is mostly if not entirely a product of capitalism. Which is plain wrong because we've had slavery and various forms of it in a multitude of situations and political systems throughout history, a lot of which were in no way capitalist. It's white-washing a lot of our collective history and suffering just as like claiming that slavery was purely done by "western", "white" or "imperialist" nations.

The debate is very muddled because we're breaking standard definitions and using them each in our own way. I struggled to phrase the above properly, and no doubt I'm probably misusing some of the terms on some level.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I felt kind of misled by your post by the time I finished reading it.

US healthcare is notorious for its problems so I was ready to believe your initial statement. But actually you say:

1. "Nobody goes bankrupt from going to the doctor", but "if you get rare / serious condition you can still get ruined financially". Those two statements are direct contradictions of each other.

2. "you can walk into the hospital and be seen pretty quickly" but also ... "it's not unheard of that critical treatment is delayed because the patient is trying to find money". Again, being seen pretty quickly and not being seen because you're trying to find money are in direct conflict.

Nowadays more and more people begin to purchase commercial health insurance - which are still an order of magnitude cheaper than the U.S. ones

Everything in China is cheaper than in the US. It's still a poor country.

Honestly both systems sound just as bad as each other, or rather, the Chinese system sounds far worse. I'd rather be alive and bankrupt, rather than refused treatment entirely, because I didn't have the cash at the exact moment I fell ill or there was some SNAFU with payment systems.

If more and more people choose to buy health insurance, that sounds like China is well on the way to a US style model as it develops.
I honestly can't tell if this was generated or not either. Where does the monty python reference come from?

FWIW:

- The ab nihilo mention of 'Turing explains' (explains what? where?) feels odd.

- The quotes are redundant, but seem designed to make the statement sound weighty.

- "It's" is a common grammatical error in corpuses, but not one likely to be made by any kind of practising philosopher.

- The concept of "meaning" is one implicitly eschewed by the Turing test, so the discussion of meaning here seems odd.

- The comment is circular: unless we build minds, we won't build things that pass the Turing tests, which are minds.
>It continues to amaze me how some people know exactly what they want to do in their freshman year or even earlier.

It's pretty easy. People try things out and if they don't like it, they pick something else. When someone appears to know what they want it is because they did the experimentation phase before they chose their field. It looks like you have the "experimentation phase" still ahead of you and there is no shame in that.

Well, considering i've seen several games break even with 120fps (they were probably never tested at such high framerates), i'd say there are. Though the lower the cap, the less likely you are to see issues in such games (probably because the games were tested with those framerates).

But the tiny deltas are one issue. Another is that you get variable deltas and they can go from big to small (even capped) from one frame to another and this can still introduce numerical instability and harder to spot heisenbugs.

It might sound like a PITA to keep the previous state around but you really only need it for things that can't be calculated on the fly (e.g. position that can arbitrarily change) but others can be calculated (e.g. particles) and in the long term you are making a more robust system and saving yourself from having to chase after weird bugs. By having everything run at fixed updates you know that once you see something working, it'll keep working regardless of the framerate.

But it does reduce the cost of research and development coming out of the company's pocket. That said, in a capitalist society, the production price helps to set where companies will stop making it.

The price is actually set to where profit is highest, meaning it's a function of: how many people will buy at various prices and how much does it cost to produce at various quantities.

One of the strong arguments for single payer healthcare, IMHO.

Currently, the virus is out of control. We might be able to bring it back under control. The Israeli experience suggests that, since half their cases were from schools, opening schools doubles R. There's no measure that will be realistically implemented in the next month that would cut R in half.

Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production. The means of production is usually defined as tools, machinery or technology, not people.
