Nice work!

I have been researching and working on this webcam quality problem for a while. I have tried a couple of webcam-over-phone solutions and while they solved the image quality issue, they tend to introduced quite some lag. Especially when you use your dedicated microphone, then the lag becomes a huge issue (because the microphone has minimal lag and the webcam has a significant lag leading to the voice not matching the lips).

Have you thought of the issue and have you done an analysis on that?

Besides, with this setup, you have to rely on a driver that turns the video from whatever phone to a webcam. That in my experience is quite flaky, but perhaps not inherently problematic. So I wonder if you could comment on OS support for people who want to use your software with say, Linux?

Disclaimer: I use and package a software suite to turn a raspberry pi high quality camera to a webcam. The lag seems pretty good and it appears as just a good old usb webcam on linux and windows (although I haven’t managed to make it work on macOS) [1].

To me this is as simple as some people made an easily copied site that provides very little value (there's 50+ lyrics sites). Google, rightly, adds lyrics results to search. It's part of their mission.

Sucks to be Genius but if they want people to visit they need to provide something more than "facts".

As for the idea that Google scraped the site, as pointed out elsewhere, they didn't, their contractors may have, the contractor pointed out to Genius that the same results Genius was complaining about were on many other sites (maybe those sites copied from Genius as well). The contractor offer to remove many copies anyway, Genius didn't respond.

Further, this is exactly the kind of thing that is probably not too far from automating via speech recognition and/or ad partnering. If it was me, I'd consider trying to partner with the music companies, send us the lyrics and we'll link to your site/band/videos...
Seriously looking forward to receiving this .. one thing everyone should understand is that the reason to have it based on FPGA tech is that there are other cores in the pipeline - so its not inconceivable that this could be not just the ZX Spectrum Next, but also the Commodore C64 Next, or Oric Atmos Next, and so on ..
I'm not the one who wrote it, i found it while looking for Nim bindings for Lazarus' LCL.
Most of those include marketing too. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_g... Star Citizen has the highest development cost.
Honest question, why would you read a book about Regex? I personally find it a lot easier to learn how it works just by going to sites like https://regex101.com/ and trying things out while reading their docs.
CCP state-sponsored hiring of top talent from TSMC is plenty of pushback.

An ASEAN-EU-US alliance to directly source cutting-edge research from TSMC like the defense industry sourced from Silicon Valley in the early days when it was just a bunch of scattered suburbs among fruit orchards for example, would pump sufficient money to increase retention via pay and benefits. Lots of problems with that approach, of course. But options exist in Cold War II.
It works great up to the point that you have one week to deliver a feature, and that one afternoon is the difference between you delivering a half-tested or well-tested feature.

Also, as pointed by other comments, people are generally not good at estimating.
How to Write Decent High-Level Software Product Specifications
This is my recommendation as well, although since you mentioned it, I would throw in SICP as well,

You can work through SICP to help learn Clojure/LISP at the fundamentals level, and then expand out to more practical use cases with the recommendations above.

The military uses it's own relay network, and will of course be largely unaffected. The military was also least involved in the crackdown, with an attempt to involve paratroops in Brest two nights ago. The response was apathetic and they didn't leave their trucks.

Police and KGB use packet switching network at levels beyond tactical, and it piggybacks on civilian infrastructure.

I get the point that everyone is making, including the point that you're trying to make. But if I just take your question at face value, isn't the answer simple: from billions in profit they make per quarter.
This needs about 1000 upvotes.
So much truth in so few words.
You left out the second half of my short first comment:

Hi, I'm Peter, a part of the team.
There is quite a few solutions already that try to make it easy to make data applications with Python or R.
The most relevant solutions include Plotly Dash, Shiny, Voila, Streamlit. All of them are great projects even though all of them are very different.
Our project is an attempt to explore this area and figure out what would be a way to build these applications without having a need to do programming, CSS, HTML, or deployment.

Basically, we want to make it possible to make data apps as simple as writing a few lines of code using only the libraries that data scientists already know - pandas, Matplotlib, scikit, Tensor, pytourch, etc. Ideally so you don't have to write your application code at all, and rather deploy your data science models and simply bind them with a simple UI logic.
We believe the need to apply ML to enterprise use-cases will grow even more and tools like that will be very useful.
Basically you'll be able to create an application that help your HR/Sales/Marketing/Product/<you name it> department to apply ML – in minutes, without the need to write this application, deploy or maintain.

Traditionally in these arrangements you give them 6 months to recoup the cost of introducing you and then you can work directly. But that is when there isn't friendship on the line.

Sharing this after a really interesting klerotoria.org submission - unfortunately they're not public (mailing list) by design, so I couldn't submit that (and copying the text seemed not right) - with an interesting history, which seems to be only partially discussed in the Wikipedia entry.

I can't find a great source/description for it all in one place, but between Wikipedia (OP) and this: https://www.zvab.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30660656674

There is. It is called "restricted funds":

https://www.501c3.org/kb/what-are-restricted-funds/

The more people use restricted funds designation, the less bloated non-profits with wishy-washy missions there would be and the less money there would be to pilfer by the parasite class that lives in the executive roles of the non-profits.
Auth and API Security. Lots of apps fall apart when time comes to add login and data persistence!

Also, Jupyter Notebook is really cool, and it would be awesome to have Web Assembly versions that work in the browser. Colab is a nice UX, Binder, Thebelab, all steps in the right direction. Feels like notebook computing with WASM is under explored key infra for AI
Yeah. My first thought was: yearly employee reviews... nice thought though!
Yeah I have that one too and yes it's a good general overview of the broad space and yes there is some overlap. If you're thinking of selecting a streaming solution in particular--and it's definitely not for everyone--Streaming Systems is more in depth into the workings and tradeoffs and might be helpful understanding your problem. I'd check the TOC on the link above to decide.
Yes, both carbonate and orate. The carbonate, well that flattened me out of course, but it did not make me feel as good as I do now. (Which is not that good but much much better.)

The ortate I took as an experiment wen I was more recently depressed and it made me hypomanic. This makes sense if you know Lithium inhibits IMPase and IPPase. And on the other side GSK-3.

It is only at high doses that you get the NMDA and GABA effects. Which is too high IMHO. I still rely on Klonopin now and then when I mess up. (No, I do not take it everyday and I take the lowest dose possible, so don't bother telling me how dangerous it is.)
Ask HN: What AI/ML domain should I choose at FANG?
I have a neat opportunity to join an AI/ML team at FANG, where I can choose the team. I have no formal AI/ML background, so would very much be learning on the job (I realize it won't be a walk in the park).

The issue is, that there's mindblowing tech all over the company, and I'd like to learn all of it. How should I think about zeroing in on a domain? Domains include Ranking, Computer Vision, NLP, Personalization, among others.
I don’t know if it’s guaranteed, but here’s my perspective (as someone with 2 BScs and an MSc, who also self teaches a ton of stuff):

My personal drive for self-teaching generally stems from either a specific problem I’m trying to solve on a project or a desire to dig deep into something “cool” I’ve come across.

In the first case, I’m tugging on the strings that seem most likely to get me to the solution to the problem I’m trying to solve. There’s a bit of backtracking here and there as I choose dead end paths, but it’s usually a depth first traversal. I’m not trying to learn all of a field, I’m just looking at what I need to know to move past the hurdle I’ve encountered.

In the second case, the goal is different but the process is pretty similar. When I’m learning for fun there is usually a bit more breadth, since I’m not trying to solve a specific problem in the immediate future, but I’m also probably not building a robust implementation of anything. I’ll usually end up with a decent surface level understanding of a topic; this is useful in that, if I encounter a related problem in my work, I’ve got at least the concept in my mental toolbox already and can do a deep dive more easily.

Over time I’ve built up a pretty wide and deep understanding of a lot of things as I’ve built them, but I am also fully aware there a ton of gaps (and have a big topic list that I occasionally visit during a slow period).

Surely the option to have tabs organized vertically on the side of the windows instead of stuck crowded to uselessness on top can be considered as a technical merit.
Almost the same here I learned touch typing because I wanted to handle many chats on Facebook, when the web interface was all they had.
I think it would be best to not poke bears and call him by his actual name. If users are instinctively flagging things they see as critical of someone they like, maybe the best way to ferry them back to reality is to provide them with information that, while truthful, doesn’t overtly denigrate their intellectuality. I myself am guilty of knee-jerk reactions when someone portrays me as stupid.

That’s not to say I don’t agree with you, though. It would be a sad thing if the people of HN were taking advantage of anti-spam features to turn this space into something of an echo-sphere, regardless of political leanings.

I also don’t see the vouch button. Sad that there’s a karma threshold for this kind of thing but I understand the purpose. Wish the barrier to entry was a tad lower though.

Edit: I’d like to point out that the article in question has nothing to do with Donald Trump specifically, but it does discuss the reliability of Fox News, which has willfully linked itself to the president and his ideology/persona.

What if the USSR had machine learning-powered central planning, fed by IOT data collection across all supply chain in all industries.

Shall we try again?
i'm not looking to learn backend through this book, I find the content of the book interesting and just wanted to know if my inexperience with server-side hamper my ability to grasp the content of the book.
In my specific instance, I have taken both.

I experienced some reduction in anxiety with the glycinate. It also seems to be the best form for sleep support.

But the l-threonate was on the level of an SSRI for me. The anti-anxiety effect was really pronounced.
streamlit.io is one that i've just finished trying, and find it easy to use.
As a self taught person this lines up with my experiences and it depresses me that I 'missed out'. But I try to make up for it by continuing to learn, I'm just now really getting into Information Theory though and can't help but think how this intuitive understanding would have helped me twenty years ago.
That’s AMP, or at least the good parts of it.
I wouldn't assume the growth in binary size is anything like linear with code size (i.e. there's probably a lot of fixed overhead). And they appear to be using the "--dev" compiler profile, which is unoptimized and meant for debugging.
'Fake news' stopped being newsworthy to anyone in tech probably many years ago. I find the following HN guideline to apply well to this:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
If you really want to confuse people, get something like a split ortho board or a 40% keyboard. Even without blank keycaps people at work used to be very confused seeing my Keebio Iris and they're very fun to build and type on!
Specializing in hardware design is really a poison pill despite how interesting the field is. You spend more than a decade in school to gain the skills needed to work at the chip level, which often requires a PhD. Then it turns out that there's only a handful of companies in the world with the equipment or supporting personnel needed for the field, and your skills are worthless outside of these specialized environments. No wonder pay is so low despite the years of schooling needed. After going through those considerations, I ended up dropping out of a PhD in RFIC design and fell back to embedded systems. More companies hiring and versatile enough to slide into general software or web programming if necessary. Chip design is still fascinating, but all traps look nice on the outside.

Also, for any aspiring undergrads wandering this way that thought RFIC design was fascinating because they picked up a copy of Razavi's "RF Microelectronics" or something similar and couldn't help but read it cover from cover, the textbooks lie. The analytical equations in a chip design textbook are not reflective of what the actual process is like. While you're still in college, try and get a professor to give you a student addition of Keysight ADS or Microwave Office AWR, along with an SDK from a fab. Then spend a few months of simulation time to see for yourself how much simulated results diverge from analytical models and how painstakingly slow it is to optimize those simulations especially once you start moving into EM simulations. And keep in mind these are simulations, chances are the physical chip will diverge even more due to process variations, unknown parasitics, or even bad simulation models from the fab. If the lack of precision, simulation time, and general drudgery doesn't kill your enthusiasm when compared to your textbook learning, then by all means proceed.

It's still a fascinating subject. Every so often when I need a break from code I'll take out my old RFIC textbooks and read a chapter or two. But you really don't want to know how this sausage is actually made.
Yikes, that screenshot looks pretty bad. Are you sure they are not tailoring it to the individual users' tastes? This can't be the default of their recommendation engine...
The $2000 I would need for a nice weekend away in Paris would totally fit in my jacket pocket.

The rest of my money would be in a sturdy safe back home, guarded by someone who thinks their job is to keep people from vandalising my quite nice house and doesn't know I store my cash in the basement.
Mobile or desktop dev (not Electron or React Native). See how the other half lives.

Last I checked Apple TV recommends a markup+JavaScript development process for standard TV streaming applications. It's not a web environment, but it should feel pretty familiar. Easy transition, knock out a demo app and you could start pulling contracts for that, maybe. Dunno how hot that market is.

I'd second others with leveling up with SQL. Maybe also dig into esoteric or advanced uses of HTTP daemon software, Redis, et c.
Even Microsoft - with countless more resources and motivation - failed to make traction in mobile. Blackberry was swept off the stage in the blink of an eye.

Firefox OS was abandoned pretty quick as I remember, 2 years tops?

I would not single that out as a failing.
Imagine saying something this stupid in nazi Germany.
You misunderstand what I am saying. I meant that the nature of this type of business is that it that you can't really scale it out
Does anyone know if there is any chip manufacturing capability that doesn't require supporting the imprisonment of literally millions of Uighurs or Black people? It seems like the free countries of the world just don't want to compete in this market.

EDIT: Only one downvote? C'mon guys, I'm over 100 karma and need to burn it off, I thought for sure the 50 cent army could get that done. Are you guys asleep today or something?
Everyone has massive holes in their knowledge, but holes which formal education tries to address tend to stand out more.
I don't think it would be very comfortable to rest in a null pointer.
> That sucks. I much preferred the drivers Windows automatically finds over navigating shitty vendor websites that break their links every other year and sometimes just take down all drivers for some of their product.

I think you're conflating at least 2 other Windows features with the one removed.

Microsoft didn't get rid of the database of WHQL drivers that ship with Windows, they didn't get rid of the Windows Update mechanism for updating those drivers.

They got rid of the feature to search online for a driver when Plug-And-Play setup fails or when you manually go into the Device Manager and click the Update Driver button on a device.

The only time I've seen this feature kick in was when I plugged in a brand new GPU or random microcontroller board (e.g. Digispark). In either case it failed. I honestly don't recall the feature ever working.

Hey if it worked, I'd consider that impressive, not concerning!
Some people need payloads put into space.
Religion is basically just the public policy of 1000+yr ago. If you look at the economics and societal mechanics of subsistence farming societies it's pretty clear why homosexual marriage throws a wrench into all the various mechanisms (inheritance, training the next generation in the skills they will need) that keep things moving from generation to generation and increases risk by reducing the future labor supply (kids). Disallowing homosexuality screws ~10% of the population but over the course of multiple generations and with the slim margins that agrarian societies exist on forcing that 10% of the population to find a heterosexual partner and raise a family and act like everyone else may very well be enough of a boost to keep your community intact when the next 50yr drought hits.

Forcing Steve and Stan to find wives and raise kids is just the 50AD version of "your rights end where the community's ability to survive the next famine begins". Remember, there was a lot more suffering back then so people not being able to marry and live with who you want mostly didn't make the short list of problems these people had.

Of course, over the past 1000yrs things changed. Famine mostly isn't an issue. Modern families don't need to pump out a bunch of kids to ensure they will have enough labor to work the fields when half of them die before age 5. We have ubiquitous written communication so that Steve and Stan can write their wills and their families won't feud over who gets the farm when they both meet an untimely end in an ox drawn cart accident.

So while disallowing homosexual marriage seems nonsensical to us now they were actually optimizing for something 1000yr ago when the legacy code was written (written by people with information that mostly only consisted of what could be observed in a human lifetime no less).

Traditional marriage as in "pegs minus holes = 0" doesn't really make sense as a sticking point in the modern world. "Traditional marriage" as in "for life unless something exceptional happens" is still accepted as the gold standard for child rearing (or all the public health experts and sociologists are wrong). So we definitely shouldn't trivialize marriage and unless something changes we should probably continue to have public policy carrots/sticks that keep child rearing parents together.
> requires the kind of long term, open collaboration & innovation sessions that the CCP seems fundamentally incompatible with

I always see this but it just seems like such a reach - Nazi Germany didn't seem to do too badly on the innovation front, did it?
I think the argument is if you can't look down you work harder at remembering it because that easy reference isn't there.
> I don't think I can get a job as self-taught in this field.

Good security firms are the last ones to gatekeep over a degree or other paper.
That's correct however the publishing company that administers an artists royalties is generally the one to bring the suit. This is the same type of royalty as sheet music.

I feel like this is a forgotten bit of history but for years Genius didn't pay royalties for reproducing lyrics instead choosing to claim that their own reprinting of lyrics fell under "fair use" guidelines:

>"David Lowery, frontman and songwriter for Cracker and Camper van Beethoven, is waging war on the sites he believes make money off song lyrics but don't pay the songwriter. Once he took a closer look at where his music was making money on the Internet, he realized: There were more people searching to find lyrics to his songs than searching to illegally download mp3s of his music. And he wasn't making money off those searches. Last November, after months of exhaustive and systematic Googling, he released something called The Undesirable Lyric Website List.

>"The National Music Publishers Association seized upon this list, and announced that it would be sending take-down notices to every single name. At the top of that list was the very popular Rap Genius."

>"Rap Genius has been around for a few years, and it's extremely popular. No ads, lots of traffic and, just recently, a major investment from one of the hottest venture capital firms in Silicon Valley. The founder of Rap Genius, Ilan Zechory, says the site doesn't belong on Lowery's list. Because it's way more than just transcribed lyrics. He says the site is more like a social network: a discussion board for music geeks and even some of the musicians themselves — prominent rappers like Nas and Rick Ross — to comment on their own lyrics. Artists, the founders say, love the site."

>"Just this week, Rap Genius announced that, despite its opinion that the site falls under the criteria for fair use, it's going to pay songwriters for posting their lyrics. It's just easier than fighting with music publishers, who've been very successful at going after other lyric sites in the past few years. ..."[1]
