Show HN: Bite-Sized Summaries of Patents
Hi everyone

For the past several months I have been building a platform to publish bite-sized summaries of latest patents. The purpose is to help engineers and product managers keep track of changing technology landscape and learn faster.

Recently, we published summaries of 22 Apple patents related to augmented & virtual reality.

Follow this link to read:

https://www.fastscience.tv/collections/k1ntwsy7lJLihhL5iA89

Use cases described in summaries: Move around furniture, make travel less boring, a better Google Cardboard, enhanced interaction with maps, annotate real world objects & more.

Please follow the collection if you like the idea :)
I've spoken out against HR for dissimilar reasons and found myself out of the job not too long later. I don't blame him for not raising his head at his workplace...
There's no such thing as a "loop" on an FPGA. If you declare a loop in Verilog, the synthesizer allocates one set of gates per iteration. That's probably why your runs take all night.

HLS notwithstanding, you don't use traditional control structures to tell an FPGA what to do. You use clocked FSMs and asynchronous expressions to tell it what to be.
Downtowns may be abandoned, but the shopping malls aren't (where I live).

Local businesses still can't compete with big box stores.
I don't totally understand the economics of how those work in NYC. Just sheer density and throughput? Family-run shops staffed by extended family working unofficially (avoiding payroll tax, minimum wage, etc.)? Some mixture?

In the "is DC a real city?" angst, people occasionally claim there aren't any such shops in DC. But there are, it's just that the sandwiches are priced at $10-14, so people don't think of them the same way. DC shopkeepers get defensive about it, and put together spreadsheets showing that with rent, labor, etc. you just can't break even selling $6-8 sandwiches in the DC market.
IA needs to make it much easier to have content removed from their archive. A simple form and a simple verification step.

Their robot.txt BS does not work.
Even under this definition how in the HELL are they "routinely" trawling our production data secured by these keys. I mean, does not one think that is rediculous?

This isn't amazon billing data etc (obviously I expect they analyze that carefully given they bring in billions from billing). To ROUTINELY go through AWS customer production datasets is beyond all reason.
You were invited to the correct party?

No.

Also no. His name and photograph are right there in the post.
I would say B is debatable in all cases considering you'd have to factor in the costs of ebook medium, and the fact that there is a real argument that agreeing to publisher's licensing/DRM scheme can be trivially argued to be an unreasonable price.

Throw in the constraints arising from social distancing strongly disfavoring physical purchasing, and it sounds to me like the industry is simply refusing to adapt to the times.

If people will not purchase your book at the price you set it at, I'd argue that it isn't a reasonable price. Further, if you invest large amounts of capital into technological infrastructure to thwart free dissemination of digital content, and people decide not to aid you by recouping your investment through purchases, I'd consider that the Invisible Hand at work.

The publishing industry is less a disseminate anymore, but more an IP speculator. I file them with patent trolls at this point.
I was working remotely for a few years and in my opinion coworking spaces are the best of both worlds. I like to leave my apartment for work, I need a environment where I can concentrate and I like to see and talk to people, making friends. But I also like not having a boss around and being able to come and go whenever I want. You have all this in a coworking space and if you move to the opposite part of town (or change the city) you just change your space so that your commute never gets more than 10 minutes. Best of both worlds!

What Is Data Appending? How Do Business Benefits from Data Appending?
I love retro-ish design but it's often not practical or pleasing, past the initial novelty, and a reminder of why things change.

This looks excellent (from the screenshot). It reminds me of a mid-late 90s Windows Usenet newsreader, which I wouldn't mind if every web forum looked like.

I currently live in New Orleans, which is very mixed-use if you're in the city proper. It's really, really nice. I bike everywhere. Groceries, bookstores, head shops, cafes, bars, hardware store (with a super nice housewares department on the second floor), plumbers, auto shops, restaurants, snoball stands, parks, schools[1], dentists, optometrists, lawyers, there's pretty much everything I need in a 20min cycling radius. A lot of these businesses are in buildings that are pretty much indistinguishable from the houses next to them; there's signs and various adaptations for whatever they're selling but so many of them started out as a house rather than something built from the ground up to be A Store.

Leave the actual city and it starts turning into suburbs, where every distance is designed for a car and all business is concentrated on one big road that's got giant parking lots and big boxy buildings all along it. I go out there when I absolutely must. There really aren't many reasons to do that.

1: sadly the city's schools have gone to hell in many ways since I was a kid, but hey, I ain't got kids so I only get to worry about that in the abstract...
One of the best bits I took away from that interview is Jim's comment that a lot of things need to be "rearchitected every decade, or even faster".

It's such a throwaway comment, but I think there's deep insight behind it from someone with extensive experience in the matter.

I also feel it applies to many other things, not just ASIC design.

For example, every customer I go to manages their VMware farm just like they managed their bare metal boxes in the past. Just as they're oh-so-slowly wrapping their heads around the design concepts that are a better fit for virtualisation, they're moving to the cloud. So of course, they deploy everything in the cloud just like they're used to in their on-premises VMware environment.

It's shocking how much low-hanging fruit is out there, just waiting to be rearchitected by someone with understanding and a clear vision.

As a random example: I just saw a bunch of Azure servers with empty 1TB "Application" D:\ drives. The team that built it was used to how VMware thin-provisioned drives only allocate 2MB blocks at a time, so the 1TB max capacity is just a high water mark that has no real cost. Meanwhile, Azure bills based on capacity, not usage, so that 1TB is burning money.

It seems like a small thing, but if you store 1GB in a 1TB volume in the cloud, you're not paying $123/TB/month, you're actually paying $12,288 per terabyte of data stored per month!

If you look around, it turns out that everywhere you look, people are doing "what they've always done", and it leads to crazy inefficiencies.

I remember seeing that posted often, back when email spam was a big problem, and it always bothered me. Whenever people were discussing possible fixes, someone would post that checklist -- and you could always find some way to apply the checklist, even if it was just by invoking the generic "Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches" objection. Every sophisticated person knew that the email spam problem was intractable. Your inbox would always be full of spam, and it was considered foolish to think otherwise.

I haven't had much spam hit my inbox lately, though. So much for the checklist.
These two statements contradict:

>It's for a limited period of time usually a couple weeks, in an app of some sort. That's what they did, that's CDL.

>They temporarily removed waitlists which did allow more people to borrow a title than they had licenses

That is not CDL, by definition (lending out more copies than they had licenses).

Here's a crazy idea: no zoning. Let people decide what they want to do.
I grew up in Greensboro where A&T is located. Many of my high school classmates went to college there. One friend even led the top CS student org on campus.

I pushed so hard for my employer, Sexy Unicorn Startup which said all the important things you expect a woke company to say, to recruit there. I told them I would set everything up and that all I needed was a budget. I got nothing but lip service.

So, HN, you want to do it the right way? I can be on A&T's campus in 15 minutes. I will connect you with the student orgs and help you do it the right way. You won't regret it. Email is in profile.

Farther (300m): fresh produce market, pharmacy, and a bunch of other shops.

Farther (10 minutes):

- A green space of about 350 acres

The catch: a lot of them live there. By there I mean they own the house. The shops are on the street level, and they live in the upper levels. Some others live nearby, as in are either the owner's neighbor from a few houses away or 5 minutes down the road. But you can pretty much do a lot without moving.

You can train an obscure and undocumented ai. Sounds simple enough.
Since this is written by a Black person in tech, my guess is that his beliefs are based on a lifetime of being treated as a second-class citizen, and this anecdote was merely a particularly obvious case.

However, like you, I am way of anecdotes and put more faith in empirical studies [1]. So what do the data say? Turns out they align with the lived experience of the author: widespread hiring bias by employers hurting Black people.

Ireland Open Sourced Their Covid-19 Tracker
I'm not misunderstanding the basic idea so much as rejecting it.

Isn't one of the supposed benefits of UBI that people, once no longer occupied by work in order to provide for themselves, will be free to pursue other interests? That it would enrich our lives to be free from labor prescribed by others?

Burying and digging up money is not productive; that's exactly the point. To the extent that scare resources are allocated to unproductive work, actual productive use of resources (time being one) suffers. If money-digging is more lucrative than producing food, people eventually begin to starve, increasing the demand for money-digging. If a person spends his time digging for money instead of learning something (or, indeed, planting his own garden) society is immeasurably worse-off.
Why Your Invention Should Be Banned
Restaurants, accountants, lawyers, and such may do fine with mixed use zoning, but retail simply can't compete without economy of scale.
It's definitely a mindset and is self-fulfilling, once I started working in a restricted area (no internet, cell phones, other electronics allowed) I stopped feeling like I was having trouble working 8 hours a day.

Yes, I write software.
Do you think it could possibly be that the black city college might be a lower ranked school than Georgia Tech? Or did Georgia Tech not have any women or minorities? I went to a lower ranked school that was the most diverse in the state, and I've also taken classes at Stanford and Berkeley. There is no question that the students at Stanford and Berkeley were way more motivated, worked a lot harder and were academically much stronger than the students at my school. So I would expect those schools to get a lot more recruiting attention than my school. That doesn't mean the students at my school can't be successful, but it did mean that you had to put in a lot more work than the median student at the lower-ranked school to be successful.
Accountability is important right?

The courts understand that they (and the Police) have a legitimacy problem. As legitimacy deteriorates, the number and size of protests increases, which can reach a tipping point where there aren't enough police to push back.

This is exactly the problem we faced in Iraq as our tactics only increased the size and power of the insurgency.

Revoking Qualified Immunity is the lede.

> Their core mission is to develop "space power" to "present to our Combatant Commands." And we're meant to believe that Armed Forces that are developing space "Combatants" for "space power" aren't the "militarization of space?"

Yes: military use != militarization. Let's consider hypothetical: you quoted this:

>> The U.S. Space Force (USSF) is a new branch of the Armed Forces.... USSF responsibilities include developing military space professionals, acquiring military space systems, maturing the military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces to present to our Combatant Commands.

Let's invent the "US Logistics Force", a new hypothetical branch of the US Military:

> The U.S. Logistics Force (USLF) is a new branch of the Armed Forces.... USLF responsibilities include developing military logistics professionals, acquiring military logistics systems, maturing the military doctrine for logistics power, and organizing logistics forces to present to our Combatant Commands.

Would the existence of such a force be a militarization of transport links? Not necessarily. It could just be akin to a civilian shipping and logistics company where the drivers wear military fatigues and sometimes drive unusual 8-wheeled heavy lift trucks [1] to strange destinations.

The USSF isn't militarizing space because it's not stationing weapons up there, and the kind of stuff it does put up in space, for the most part, are the kinds of things civilian organizations have also put up there (communications, sensor, and navigation satellites).

Diversity in suburbs is a very recent development. Look at the historical demographics of the suburb you probably live in. It's great that it's changing but suburbs are not a product of seeking to preserve diversity.
"Making risk/reward calculations in the absence of complete information" describes almost all decision making.
All good questions.

The answer is probably complicated. I'd guess that India pushing tech in their education system is one factor. Indians and Asians are also a numerous and growing cohort, whose families are immigrating from higher populated regions. Their families may also encourage their children to go into tech. And the racist stereotypes these populations face are likely very different than others, such as African Americans.
Always more than what we currently have, until the dam breaks, then people start saying "wow! I had no idea! Why didn't anyone say something sooner?".

Banks make the same promise that it is a "limited group of trained and vetted employees."

In an organization as large as Twitter or a bank, that still means thousands of people. You are seeing 1000 as large because you are forgetting the scale on which they operate.
I could give a long, detailed answer, but basically, the 1950s happened.

The orthodox-progressive split was Hunter's original thesis 1991 and last part of this essay suggests that digital media has fragmented the sides and this two-side model may no longer be sufficient.

1. There's a split within the atheist progressives between trust in scientific rationality and trust in individual subjective experiences.

2. The loss of national identity as previously shared histories and values are challenged and how this leads to some trying to ground national identity in ethnicity while others try to abandon patriotism instead.

3. A new split emerging between those committed to economic growth and consumption above all and those that believe that economics should be tempered by some kind of morality.
China Orders U.S. to Shut Consulate in Chengdu, Retaliating for Houston
That in and of itself isn’t surprising. Programs tend to be ranked in top 5/10/25/50/100 kind of buckets and that would define where they’re recruiting from when they’re told “get the best” and have to draw an arbitrary line when the talent team have no idea what they’re actually recruiting for.

From what I’ve seen there is a real difference in the rigorousness of the top 5/10 CS depts and then everyone else is relatively the same at large state universities.

This started happening already in the 1950s before desegregation. The rise of suburbs is directly related to the boom years after WWII and how much development happened outside of cities, where throwing up a new subdivision was much cheaper, and the booming auto industry absolutely loved new demand for commuting.
A consequence of this is that you may find yourself changing your views-- or at least being more open minded about things your friends don't approve of.

If it's just politics with no direct relevance to your life-- are you really better off that way? Is being more right or just more open minded about something that you have no influence do you any good if it alienates you from friends or family at all?
One of the more disappointing aspects of this-- it's not even a good service to these businesses to operate this way. Some of the least effective colleagues I've had the pleasure of working with attended these brand name schools. Now, I certainly wouldn't say that represents all graduates, but some of them are absolutely being carried because they look good on paper. That's no way to build out your workforce.
That's correct. 98 was the first release to have it, chronologically speaking. 2000 was the first NT based Windows to have it.

So 98/NT didn't make sense to me. NT4, the last release to use the name NT, had a very Win95-like appearance. I also remember NT 3.51 (and I guess there were other 3.x) that had a very Win3.1-like UI despite being 32 bit.
I agree that many aspects of the (U.S.) economy are wholly unproductive, and even that such behavior is made possible (if not outright incentivized) by institutions like the Federal Reserve and many aspects of the U.S. military. I'm not sure I'd hold that up as a shining beacon of privatization. You'll have to extrapolate on why you think that's "better by definition, supposedly."

If you're trying to speak solely to the financial sector divorced from the rest of industry, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on whether money-digging would be a suitable replacement.

Welcome to a new world. Who you know is less important. But everyone is on equal ground.
I remember an interview with a very wealthy person. While describing his young adulthood he mentioned having the goal of buying his first luxury watch (think $10k equivalent today).

Now I don't like the if-you're-not-a-billionaire-then-your-entirely-incomplete subtext of motivation/self-improvement culture, but this man spoke honestly about having a goal to acquire something luxurious for himself, and the work ethic it instilled in his younger self.

I suppose the point is there is a huge different between life goals (even material ones) and retail therapy.

Getting married (as in, finding someone you want to marry and making it happen) is a mission. Perhaps becoming a parent is for many. Striving to be a good parent is definitely a mission.
