Vectorizing compilers have been around since at least the late 1970s; the Cray 1[0] had a vectorizing compiler in 1978.

Lamport’s Parallel Execution of DO Loops[1] was published in 1974.

There's an incredible amount of uses for high quality genealogical data:

-Actuaries/insurance companies: Longevity is largely heritable

-Drug Development/Pharma: The newest drugs are all gene therapies and data sets provide amble grounds for deep neural networks. Identifying potential causes of curable conditions, or identify a marketable consumer base.

-Police/Surveillance: I believe a genealogy database is actually how the Golden State killer was caught.

Certainly there are other use cases, but these are the most obvious to me.

"350-square-foot studio, starting at $115,000"

$330/square foot is not cheap.

I live in a prefab home that was trailered in and placed on the basement with a crane. I visited the factory in Indiana, which was basically a lot of carpenters building homes inside of a warehouse.

https://www.rochesterhomesinc.com/tiptown

My house is 1568 square feet and looks almost exactly like the picture on the website. The price from Rochester was $120,000. From the factory, the house was almost completely finished (drywall, bathroom, cabinets, etc). Carpeting/flooring was done after the house was delivered, as well as some customizations and modifications for code (sprinkler system).

$77/square foot.

There are tons of other costs with building a house on vacant land, but those are the same regardless of how the house is constructed.

Mighty Homes has some really interesting technology, but there is definitely a premium to be paid for it. It's really, really hard to beat the economics of stick-built construction. At least right now.
My issue is largely the assumption that presence of DNA == person who committed the crime.

We leave DNA all over the place. If I drop some hair at the scene of a crime 12 hours before it was committed, I could become the innocent sole suspect of something heinous.
I run a legaltech in the UK. Other than dealing with a similar case with my own co-founder (I ended up splitting ways very early which in hindsight I'm glad I did), we've dealt with a case on the platform where one co-founder wanted to oust the other for similar reasons. Not even thinking of this with a legal lens, if trust is already an issue, you need to have a 'hard conversation' with him. Trust is everything at an early stage, more than the problem.

Property rights are more "first class" than privacy rights; in the US, the idea that a company is not allowed to monitor the use of company equipment by employees is absurd- to the extent that many institutions are regulated to require it (i.e. monitoring for data exfiltration, etc).

Of course, most companies' monitoring is pretty shallow and reasonable, but there are exceptions, and I certainly wouldn't choose to work for one of the exceptions.

The problem is that it's a transmission vector.

If it was observed that, for instance, dogs were a transmission vector of COVID-19 but rarely suffered severe effects, it would be critically important to shut down all the dog parks. Not to protect the dogs, or even the dog owners (in my very limited experience the people who tend to take their dogs to dog parks tend to be younger) but simply to curtail the spread of the disease.

If the schools are open, COVID will be rampant in the larger population, even if few kids are getting seriously ill.

I joke in jest, but even official apple hardware has serious virtualization issues these days. Crazy kernel panics and vmware indicated they're not sure they can fix it (all in the hands of Apple).

This really makes my head hurt, haha. I've always heard the 7 shuffles to be randomized. Great. But if I shuffle one more time it's back to where I started? How does that makes sense?!

Of course, this is dependent on perfect shuffles, which I'm sure I never achieve. Maybe the 'seven shuffles to randomize' calculation takes into account the 'human' nature of shuffling during a game? It is almost a sure thing the deck will never be split perfectly in half, and a perfect faro shuffle achieved.

Someone else mentioned that it depends on if it's an 'in' or an 'out' riffle as well, so I read the wiki page. The basically tells me you should always try to do an 'in' shuffle, I will have to start looking out for this :)

What non-archival information are you talking about? Everything I see on familysearch is primary documents or text indexed directly. Anything else are simply trees that others have created. And I definitely wouldn't trust that info blindly because users do really get overzealous in trying to trace their lineage. But family search allows you to attach primary documents to all names so you can easily confirm whether that info is valid or not.
Better learn to properly import data via csv. If you just double click you get the excel helpfulness. If you choose open you can specify the column formats. I load dates and zip codes as text and then format the columns correctly AFTER everything loads. VBA macros are wonderful if you have the same format over and over again. If I has a nickle for everytime excel munged a date or stripped a leading zero from a zip code, I'd be rich beyond dreams.
Ehhhh. I wouldn't be surprised if the average instance of "HIV+ person without PReP having unprotected anal sex" infects more people than "COVID-19 positive person visits a mall without a mask" does. The worst case of 50 people can be higher without the average also being higher, is what I mean.

Further... Everyone else at the mall can also choose to not take that risk, though it's not really true for students in high school.
LineageOS is NOT guaranteed to be supported until your phone dies. The Lineage OS devs have repeatedly stated that builds are maintained by volunteers, and if the dev responsible for one phone model loses interest in that job or loses his own phone of that model, he can quit maintaining it at any time, and the community has no right to complain. Because Android development is such an arcane science, usually no one else steps in to pick up an abandoned phone model once the original developer has quit.

The time is overwhelmingly the cost of conversion to CPython objects, 95-99% of the total time. The actual document parsing to tape is always much faster than rapidjson. No CPython JSON library can get away from this overhead.

You see a real benefit when you don't need or want the entire document, and can use the JSON pointer or proxy object interface.
A site whose only purpose is to display short pieces of text, some images, and occasionally video somehow needs the very latest in software (which often also means hardware...) to do that, when those capabilities have been around for over a decade?

Fuck the users if they're using anything older, force them to buy new hardware and create more e-waste, because we just want the latest crap regardless. That sums up the sad state of "modern" web development.
Likely because your statement that your Pixel 1 still works and is not receiving software updates is exactly in line with the points being made in the comment you replied to, and people are probably interpreting your point as "but my device is fine, what's the problem". The problem is that your device which is still working fine isn't receiving software support.
It's a little hard to describe from scratch, but let me do my best.

The method is unattended, in the sense that it's photos + camera parameters in and scene representation out. The photos should all be of the same scene (e.g. the Trevi Fountain). Once you have a scene representation, you can ask what the scene would look like from new camera angles with your choice of lighting.

Choosing camera angles is straightforward. You tell me where and what direction the camera is facing. The question then becomes, how do you specify your choice of lighting? The answer is, you can't do so directly. Instead, you provide a picture with the lighting you want, and with a little magic, we can find a way to imitate that lighting. The way we do is by finding a corresponding "appearance embedding" via numerical optimization.

I’ll ignore the “won’t someone think of the children” argument, and highlight the research into how frequently DNA evidence is misused, and how poor juries are at understanding both DNA science and probability/stats.

Eighty-nine percent of funeral homes in the U.S. are owned by individuals, families, or closely held private corporations. The remaining 11 percent are owned by corporations whose stock is publicly traded.

From Wikipedia:

In the 1960s, a push for large companies acquiring smaller funeral homes and cemeteries occurred.[18] Although there has been a consistent push for consolidation, the majority of the industry still consists of small, family-owned businesses.[18] Experts and analysts of the industry have estimated that the top six funeral operators control 25 to 30% of all funeral services in North America, with the top four owning between 15 and 20% of all funeral homes.
Not only CIA but US/European governments also have the same problem. Two examples are Iraq war and bombing of Libya.

The big difference is that the Iraq/Libya cases were partially intended to do good things which could get some support from certain voters. That's worse than CIA coups with strategical goals but turned out to have unintended consequences which will be correctly evaluated later to avoid the future mistakes.

The actions with good intentions however are more deceptive because good intentions are often disguised self spiritual satisfactions so the real ground facts were less checked correctly. That's an theory that after tens of thousands deaths of Iraq war , the bombing of Libya could happen AGAIN with little objections because voters are fine with good intention of overthrowing evils, and with values (i.e. quasi religion) people are not likely to measure the magnitude of consequences.

In terms of disaster, next version of Hitler is a human rights promoter.(Tony Blair?) Good intention is a way to circumvent "fool me once/twice" alert because politicians cheated in a such a good way not only themselves are cheated to enhance the deception but talking is so spiritually attractive that even non-religious people don't think about the history of ground truth associated with those beautiful words.
They can converge. In Colombia, where instead of office cafeterias/canteens you have tiny independent set-meal/fixed price restaurants everywhere (often multiples per block). Even before Covid you could get subscriptions to have a lunch delivered to your office every day.

If more people work from home in the future it could make sense as an alternative to the office canteen, not the traditional anything anytime takeaways.
Is that really true in all cases though? That's certainly true for languages like c++ and C and other compiles languages with manual memory management because the compiler can't re-order things past a memory load. That's less true I think for languages like where Rust can get to (even if they're not there yet). In Rust you can reason about memory allocations because there's guaranteed invariants in safe rust that let the compiler reason more about what the code is doing and rearrange instructions more than what would be possible in C or C++.

I've possibly figured it out. If you scroll quickly and while the inertia carries the scrolling onwards hit ctrl+w to close the tab, it'll resize the next tab that gains focus. Presumably that's because ctrl is held down and it's scrolling, even though the scrolling is only from inertia. Obviously scrolling shouldn't carry over to the new tab, so it does look like a bug. Moreover, it also resizes the website of the tab you just closed.

Guess I need to submit a bug report.

Ask HN: Getting a legal template lawyer approved for $ 49?
Dear fellow HN-ers,

I am hoping to validate a legal template review idea. For context, I run a legaltech called 40Q which provides affordable legal quotes and templates to founders in 40 minutes.

We understand that founders often use legal document generators for custom use. They're often boilerplate and don't cover blind spots specific to a business.

We're trying to validate if we can provide a lawyer review service for reviewing any contract for a fixed price e.g. a 10 page TnC for $ x, 5 page GDPR policy for $ y etc. Reassurance for an affordable price is the mantra.

Hope to get your thoughts on this! Thanks in advance!

PS Please forgive the glitches on the website, it is still in beta.
It required some tinkering for me and the upgrade to Catalina before I could get it to cooperate, but iMessage did eventually work and has continued to work since that initial upgrade.
It's basically the definition of bankruptcy that you need to renege on your obligations to someone. Landlords run that risk. They're hardly the ones losing the most -- think of the poor creditors and shareholders. The landlords are only losing the expense of finding their next tenant, plus any difference in the market rate when the original lease was signed and today.

in terms of SVB, banks are a great option if you've raised VC. they can usually give you debt at 5-6% interest rates and 0.1-.5% warrant coverage but will only do a deal with you if you are "sponsored"

(meaning you've raised VC).

This isn't a uniquely Republican point of view, nor is it as prevalent among the Republican voter base as you imply.

Have you lived up north recently? Specifically the so-called "tech hubs" are filled with vile and judgemental people who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of groupthink and monoculture.
> And even they rely on being stored in a physically secure room and protected from theft.

Not exactly. You don't want someone sneaking in and misappropriating the HSM to authorize something bad. And if you set the system up for unattended recovery from a power failure, then in all likelihood someone walking off with the server the HSM is in can use those keys indefinitely. But there are options.

Some HSMs have self-destruct mechanisms that attempt to prevent physical access to the private key (ie by lapping the chip). Some vendors (nCipher, IIRC) have a smart card (a second HSM) that is required to authorize certain activities, like signing, or key recovery. In fact they had a byzantine generals solution that either had the key or a password for the key split between n cards. In the latter case you needed one of the original HSMs in order to clone the key, so a movie plot where you kidnap the entire team at a conference doesn't work. During initial setup the cert would be generated on the first HSM and copied to the others, having never seen daylight.

That system was quite difficult to explain to users, and I had to document it just so I wouldn't get confused and trigger a reset of the evaluation hardware (at which point all of our test artifacts have to be rebuilt).

It might be more complicated to start WWIII than to protect a signing certificate, but only just.
At this point, this method is only good at reconstructing parts of the scene that are well-photographed. You'll notice that our video for Sacre Coeur has some blurry bits, particularly the staircase in front of the Basilica. That's because we learn to reconstruct what was seen, but aren't yet able to imagine what wasn't!

Does this work in reconstructing indoor spaces? Give it a shot and find out!
That's very cool, but also makes it sound more challenging to integrate into the existing 3D modeling ecosystem vs, say, photogrammetry approaches. Is it possible to generate approximate textured meshes from the color and opacity information?

From reading the comments, it sounds like the only real choice is the Tor Browser if you want to be anonymous, or just accept all of it and use your device's native browser for best performance.

What I'd be interested to know is if all of this anti-tracking technology matters if you just isolate domains by using containers. My guess is that Google and company have so many tracking domains that containers have no impact on that, at least 3rd party. But it seems like part of a real solution.
That's right... we all know the reasons behind this... it's not insurance rates. Insurance rates are a reflection of the problem, not the source.
I'm actually kinda curious about this in regards to browser finger printing.

This isn't like statistics in a political poll where there is an expected margin or error, when it comes to logging sites you absolutely know everything about your users in regards to browser, operating system, and even the hardware (sometimes).

3% of a million is 30,000, 3% of 500,000,000 is 1,5000,000. An absolutely real chunk of users that can produce real value (for Instagram, ad dollars).

Why would there be a margin error at all? How would it be introduce? A large portion of crawlers masking themselves? I mean it's possible, but I do not know if that's enough to throw off proper logging.
On an audience of that size, with that many samples, I strongly suspect 3% is not within the margin of error.
Hmmm... Btw that was a joke to showcase the universality of trade-offs. And the idea that you do you and with that comes the responsibility to bear the consequences. Anyway be well.
