A man has a hotdog stand that he never cleans. One day, a health inspector comes by and tells him that unless he cleans his grill every day, he can’t keep selling hotdogs. The man shouts “I’ve never cleaned the grill in my life! It’s impossible, nobody does it! And who’s going to pay for the cleaner and the five minutes every day, me? No, I’ll just go sell my hotdogs somewhere else.” And he leaves. Later a regular comes by, sees the missing hotdog stand, hears it happened as a result of the health inspector’s visit, sees that other people are now eating the man’s hotdogs while he can’t, and thinks “Man I’m hungry. Screw health inspectors.”

Taking care of people can be a thankless job.

AMD and Intel had been providing open source drivers for their gpus for long time and they've yet to have had any legal problems with it.
> America is a fundamentally revolutionary nation fighting for global democracy.

I've studied the history of the US enough to know that this is brazen propaganda with no firm basis in reality. The US has no problem propping up brutal tyrants when it's convenient.
If you want legal recourse and refunds why would you use a currency that explicitly does not allow for those?

Seriously, if you want the protections of the legal system, then use currency controlled by the legal system.
> It's orders of magnitude easier to make working software than it is to make a hit record.

That's apples-to-oranges. Obviously a "hit" anything is hard in any field, by definition. A hit app is just as hard (even harder, probably, since there are a lot less hit apps than hit songs).

But producing a single track? Seriously, it's not that hard. Yes, it takes a team of people and a lot of creativity and skill, but I don't know what this "incredible sacrifice" or "miracle" that is "more effort than you could ever imagine" is that you're talking about. It's a creative project like any other.

But that's not even the point of the article, which is simply to release tracks piecemeal and regularly rather than in an album only occasionally. There's nothing about everyone working "that much harder".

It sounds like you had a hard time in the biz, and I'm sorry. But I don't have any clue who the "geeks" are who "talk about the industry" that seems to bother you so much, and which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article. I know a lot of software engineers who are also really into the indie music scene in Brooklyn and I think everyone does understand the work bands put into their music and their touring, and that most of the bands are never going to make it beyond attracting a few dozen or couple hundred audience members at any show, but they do it because they love it.
Anthony Fauci Explains Why the US Still Hasn’t Beaten Covid
In its full generality it's undecidable, but there are probably restrictions you can build into the type system to make it decidable. I was thinking something along these lines:

class Symbol {
@init(constructor) originalToken: Token
@init(constructor) position: SourceLocation
@init(Parser.parse) scope: SymbolTable
@init(Parser.parse) declaredType: Type
@init(TypeChecker.typecheck) inferredType: Type
@init(DataFlowAnalyzer.computeLiveness) usages: List<Expr>
}

And then the type system carries an extra bit of information around for whether a reference is fully-constructed or not, much like const-correctness. Fields marked with @init can only be written on a reference that's not fully-constructed. There's no compile-time enforcement for initialization order, though it'd be pretty easy to do this at runtime (convert them to null-checks or special not-initialized sentinel values). Newly-created references start out with the "initializing" bit set, but once they're returned from a function or passed into a function not in the list of legal accessors, they lose this bit unless explicitly declared.

It's basically the same way "mutable" works (in languages that support it), but with a separate state bit in the type system and extra access checks within the mutating functions to make sure they only touch the fields they're declared to touch. You can fake this now by passing mutable references into initialization functions and then only using const, but it's a bit less specific because many classes are designed to be long-term mutable through 1-2 specific public APIs but also need to be mutated internally for deferred initialization, and lumping these use-cases together means that deferred fields can be touched by the public API.
When I lived in Europe, all my cards required 2FA via 3-D Secure for online orders (variously marketed as Verified by Visa and so on). This would ask me to use my bank's authenticator to generate a one-time code.

I've seen 3-D Secure flash by when doing online orders in the US, but it's never required any authentication. It just says "3-D Secure" briefly and then it's seemingly skipped. This banks simply not roll it out?

Have you updated Wrangler lately?

It used to be super slow to upload the worker to Google Cloud but it's much faster now (that's what happens behind the scenes when you do wrangler dev).
> Edit: Yea, reading the study, I don't see anything about controlling for fitness level.

They specifically control for the following lifestyle factors: "smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass index (BMI) and vegetable and fruit consumption."

(Ctrl+f for "covariates")

In the conclusion, they acknowledge: "Although we had carefully adjusted for potential confounding lifestyle-related factors in our analyses, we could not exclude the possibility that the results were confounded by unmeasured lifestyle-related factors."

But if someone "works out heavily and supplements," that should show up in self reported physical activity, and indirectly in BMI.
Yeah, as soon as that Vice article came out it was clear they were toast. You don't brag like that and get away with it.
Anyone who believes that the hard problem to solve with estimation is getting people to give you some estimate before starting a task is definitely very new to this field, or has been extremely lucky in the projects they got to work on...
I don't know about the public. That is many people I don't have control of. I do know that I can do it myself and it works fine and I can work around things.

I think this is true for many technical people. And I think doing this would encourage many of us to think of better ways to design and implement no-JS fallback functionality when making things for the public to use.
Personally, I find "it was a prank" extremely easy to believe. It's the simplest answer to the question "Wait, if someone compromised Twitter so badly they could tweet anything from any account, why didn't they try to move the whole stock market or start World War III?"

"Because they're young punks and didn't think of that" is a reasonable answer.

>How do they capture revenue from people like me in your model?

It's not like bands stopped selling CD's/BluRays's, collectible box-sets, stickers, pins, access to behind-the-scenes videos and mailing lists. But the most someone like you can do for an average band/performer is promote their art through any channels available. The most valuable resource you have is your attention.
I'm not trying to frame it as oppositional to a political trend, but rather that it's unfashionable an angle to take, to not take up the mantle of victimhood. I was commenting on the relative location of my position because I'm aware of its unfashionability as I write.

If anything, I was being peremptorily defensive, not redirecting to some other external target.

The thing is: there is more talent available than there is available attention, and especially _shared attention_, to go around. Success means outcompeting other musicians for a finite amount of attention. It's a gamble - and there's a good chance you won't get the attention. Even if you did the last time.

Nobody is saying that it isn't hard work to create a record. That is a straw man.

But someone did get up on a stage and point out that monetization of your work will require a strategy that is adapted to reality. If you want financial success you have to do different things than before. You can get angry at it and wish this was 1983 again - or you can get cracking.
If they multiply it to what artists are demanding, I will just turn to FM radio with ads.
Domestic ownership requirements are common throughout the world. In comparison to many other countries (look at the UAE, at least till last year) the US has traditionally been open to foreign ownership.

The thing that is notable is that the US has traditionally advocated for open markets and cross border ownership, but now is jumping on board with tactics it once campaigned against.
"The UK Biobank used a baseline touch screen questionnaire to assess several potential confounders: sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity, Townsend Deprivation Index, education and average total annual household income), lifestyle behaviours (smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass index (BMI) and vegetable and fruit consumption), health conditions (CVD (myocardial infarction, angina or stroke), respiratory disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema), cancer, digestive disease (liver failure, cirrhosis or alcoholic liver disease), dementia, depression, longstanding illness, hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol), drug use (chondroitin, aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use), vitamin supplementation (vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, multivitamin and folic acid) and mineral and other dietary supplementation (calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and fish oil)).

Reading the two complaints, it seems that they basically obtained Discord chat records and tied those usernames to an OGUsers db that was hacked & leaked in April.

Seems like the OGUsers database was the key piece of info, but it was 'a rival criminal hacking forum' that actually got the db and the FBI 'obtained' a copy of it.
Isn't that how they got Stuxnet into the Iranian nuclear facilities?

> The US and NATO have intervened in the two civil wars

It might have been a civil war at the start, but after that it was a war of the US against two sovereign states. Nothing civil about that.
My guess is that wider and more open communities only make it easier for everyone to become "special" at their own little thing, with their own little (but still quite large given the scale we're looking at!) following of admirers. But most people are failing to recognize this, because they expect the kind of dynamic that would apply in a tiny community - where you can be "the best" at something as broadly defined as 'telling stories', and be respected for that.
>>* Hitting a 17yo with 30 felony charges feels a bit steep to me.*

what charge should they leave out? Also he will not serve, say 15 years X 30 charges, if found guilty.

Now they are dealing with him, what happens to Twitter, if anything, is a different story. 17 years old or 19...he knew what he did
Are you sure about that? It depends on how Cloudflare defines what a cold start is. It might well include the initial loading of your code, with imports and init.

I've always wondered if 320 is supposed to be distinguishable from lossless.

Like, wasn't MP3 encoded at 320kbps designed to sound like a CD, while still being compressed? If it's still possible to tell 320 from FLAC in enough circumstances, then is that a failing of 320? If so, why stop at 320? Why wouldn't there be a bitrate somewhere between 320 and uncompressed that makes it impossible for practical purposes to tell the difference between lossy and lossless?
Ask HN: Best boilerplate project to start up my mom's online catalog?
Hey all! Some time ago my mom set up a small store to sell her hand made baby bags, beds and clothes. Now she's ready to move to the next step to have her own web catalog on top of social media to show a bit more her work. As a former full-stack and current back-end developer I know why I don't like doing front-end, so I thought of using a boilerplate project for setting it up.

Have you ever used any light-ish boilerplate project, hopefully in node + react/vue for something similar? The idea is to have a way of uploading new products with pictures, with no need for online shopping for now, it should have also responsive design.

Any other recommendation of a similar tool using a different stack would be also appreciated!

Thank you!

It is not odd at all when the foreign company is one of the largest espionage threats to United States, which is one of the largest markets in the world.

Yes, the US government is mulling over the idea of banning TikTok but that is only one of the problems. The immediate problem is that US companies have seriously assessed the security risk. TikTok and China have a credibility problem in the business world.

TikTok shareholders sees the same risk and they want to protect their investment. Not odd or surprising.

Thanks for the validation! that's precisely how i feel. I have been with the company for almost two years and it was a simple google form MVP when I joined to build it out into an actual product. The founder says he hired me as a product manager so from his perspective I was just doing my job (with lower salary and no equity becuase we just formed the cap table this week). The chairman of the board resonated with his sentiments because he also said the incoming exec should see me as a "peer"
this is the most philosophically abject concept I came across in a while ...
This is generally accurate, but I want to highlight the awesomeness of opaque structs. In C you can declare a struct in a header file, but not its fields ie struct point;. Then in the corresponding c file you can write out the whole definition ie struct point {x: float; y:float;};. Any code that includes the header can pass pointers to struct point (or pointers to pointers, etc) but can't directly pass points around because the compiler doesn't know their size.

All this said, this is basically OOP in C, and the code is still bound to the data, only it is bound by naming (point_add()) not by a scope (point.add()).
Not looking forward to this at all. This is one of the clear-cut cases that should be shut down by antitrust regulators.
there are quite a few ortho split ergo offerings out there now. but still just one with curved key wells (as far as im ware) in the dactyl manuform, and that generally requires self-assembly. wonder why that is - manufacturing difficulty? lack of interest?

I’m not rich, but even I view a food service job at a fast food business (besides owning the business) as transitional. In other words, I would have no intention to stay there longer than absolutely necessary. I would forego many comforts to save what I need to make my move and get out.

There’s a saying that if you took away all of a rich person’s financial assets (anything owned) they would be rich again within a few years. That may be a bit of a stretch (it might take more like 10 or even 20 years), but the point is, there is a required mindset that it takes to get out of poverty, and that is a firm determination to not accept the status quo.

Don’t get me wrong: having that determination doesn’t guarantee anything (plenty of people work hard and don’t break out of it after 20 years because of hard luck or inescapable obligations), but those who do make it out always have that mindset. And those who don’t have that mindset never make it out, even if they win the lottery.
You do not need to go to a music conservatory to be a musician. And among the musicians with the highest net worth, few have formal training.

Take for example, Metallica. To my knowledge, none of them have formal training, yet each member has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Do you know anybody willing to pay over $150,000 for temporary access to Obama’s twitter account? I find this type of comment kind of naive and poorly thought out.

Just because you’re a hacker doesn’t mean you know how to sell secrets to Russia, and trying to establish lines of communication like that are probably going to raise red flags with law enforcement.

To be fair, the strategy of scamming for bitcoin was crazily simplistic and destined to fail, due to how easy it is to track bitcoin. I am not at all surprised that some of the people allegedly involved have already been caught.
> We should talk about free college education or heavily subsidized one

It already exists. It's called the internet. You can learn almost everything you need, and in much greater detail, than a traditional 'higher education' offered by a brick and mortar institution.

The problem is only convincing the gate keepers.
I don't remember if he was reporting on any of these 3 guys. But I do remember that a huge media outlet/conglomerate was quick to accuse Krebs of wrongfully accusing somebody (no idea how they got that, behind a paywall) and how he had previously wrongfully accused people.

Felt a lot like a hit piece to me, at the time. It would be interesting to know if Krebs turned out to be right. That could say a thing or two about that news paper.

I agree this bothers me to my core. Even the 22 year old hasn't developed a fully functional neocortex. I know it seems a little hypocritical of me for getting sad when this happens to a young programmer and not an inner city gang member, but it does.

To pull off a hack like this is indicative of these kids being intelligent, risky and bold. Yeah, they went where they shouldn't, but I personally think these are the types of people we need leading us into the future of science. It does us no good to keep rewarding sycophants with 4.0s and fellowships and tenure, but removing the "trouble makers" from the system.
If you're breathing both in and out 30 times per minute, you should probably speak to a doctor. There are a number of medical concerns that could be behind that, and rapid (and therefore shallow) breaths can fail to rid the body of carbon dioxide, making your blood overly acidic.

Yes, it was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 signed by President Trump.
No, there is hardware for it, and it makes a big difference. Ballpark 2x, but it can be more or less depending on the details of the workload (ie shader complexity).

One way to get an empirical handle on this question is to write a rasterization pipeline entirely in software and run it in GPU compute. The classic Laine and Karras paper does exactly that:

https://research.nvidia.com/publication/high-performance-sof...

An intriguing thought experiment is to imagine a stripped-down, highly simplified GPU that is much more of a highly parallel CPU than a traditional graphics architecture. This is, to some extent, what Tim Sweeney was talking about (11 years ago now!) in his provocative talk "The end of the GPU roadmap". My personal sense is that such a thing would indeed be possible but would be a performance regression on the order of 2x, which would not fly in today's competitive world. But if one were trying to spin up a GPU effort from scratch (say, motivated by national independence more than cost/performance competitiveness), it would be an interesting place to start.
> Not sure I get what that means.

Generation of video clips of human gestures, by automating a 3D modeling software, like Blender, will give you not only the video, but also depth and other data related to the video.

If you are looking for sources to train your model to recognize depth / gestures, videos from TikTok are far less useful, than generating your own ones by automating or programming them.
Are you referring to WASM/WebGPU when you say open standards? Personally think it's going to revolutionize how software is delivered.
As a personal anecdote, the quality of the recommendations I receive across the board has been roughly inversely proportional to the level hype around ML in the tech press and academia.

This isn't a bad move strategy wise. If the Apple performance is as awesome as is rumoured and hype, there are going to be a lot of people looking for new arm chips, with no obviously ahead players. nVidia has looked a couple of times at building their own x86 core, and ARM cores may be a better bet.

At this point - AMD, Intel, Apple are all looking at fully integrated APU/CPU/GPU stacks. That leaves NV out in the cold if they don't do something.
