By default NeRF does not produce a mesh (but one could use marching cubes as does Atlas) and it requires training a neural network for each scene whereas Atlas (as far as I understand it) uses pretrained network to process new scenes.

NeRF would probably produce a much better final result but the Atlas approach (no need to train something from scratch) is the only one that can hope to be run in real time which is vital for some application.
I don't know if this is the case with techdirt, but by far the most common reason why sites and domains (for mail) end up getting flagged is because their resources have been hijacked by organized criminals and are being used for crime, unbeknownst to the people who own the domains. So if this ever happens to you your first instinct should be to question your own production security situation, not to assume that Google has gone off the rails.
I personally haven't seen Greyhound, but if you found this article interesting, the 2019 French film Le Chant du Loup is entirely about sonar crews on modern submarines. It's definitely a fun movie that seems (to an uninitiated) pretty technically accurate.

I agree with that piece of the article. That is, we should make efficient use of our time and resources.
I just don't think it follows that you should raise less money.

Raising more money (especially on non-onerous terms, as suggested in the article) grants you additional optionality down the road (when shit inevitably hits the fan). This sort of optionality is a great way to mitigate risk in what is already a very risky endeavor.

At the end of the day, there's nothing stopping you from being just as efficient with your time/capital. If you want, just set aside that extra money as a safety net, and if you don't want to use it, close shop and return it to your investors.

Plenty of people were driving for Uber and Lyft before the pandemic when unemployment was low and real wages were growing. The notion that people were predominantly driving for Uber and Lyft out of desperation does not hold up to scrutiny.

This thread is being rate limited reply in edit:

These drivers aren't slaves. Out if all their work options they chose ride share. Now, their options are likely going to be strictly worse. The "bar" might be low from your perspective, but it was the best option these workers. How do you think their situation is improved by eliminating (or drastically altering by removing the ability of drivers to set their own hours) this option?

>An investor can raise the valuation by putting in more money for the same ownership percentage or same money for less percentage.

That's the confusing part, and it seems backwards. The valuation should determine how much money you are willing to put in for a specific ownership share. It should be an input, not an output.

Either you aren’t being serious or you just haven’t lived in a city with real public transport.

You can get to a lot of places in the Bay Area by public transport, but the time penalty for doing and the number of services you have to use is absurd outside of downtown SF. Typically 3x driving and upwards.

Compare this to New York, or London or Amsterdam, where it can be close to parity, or on the 1-2x range. (I mention these because I have), and you’ll realize that Bay Area public transport is effectively non-existent.
AB5 is already a mess of these kinds of exemptions. Prop 22 just proposes another.

Yes there is. Or at least there is with most people. Even if you are adamant on price there's plenty of other areas for negotiation like when the work will occur, subscription agreements, or the kid can try to work it out and cut your grass at the same time as your neighbors.

The idea of it sounds interesting to me. Not necessarily as a "phone" though, but more of an iPad replacement.

The problems for me:
1. It runs android. While I hope that MSFT will support it into the future, I fear if it flops that the dual screen setup and support is going to dwindle over time.

2. No pen slot. This is a huge fail IMO - one of the main ways I would want to use this is as a small digital notebook. Having to carry a surface pen separately kind of sucks.

3. No external display. I know they are already pushing it price wise, but even just a small OLED strip would suffice, to let you see a notification without having to unfold the device to see what it is. Missing this makes me think this will be a terrible phone - to know who is calling you now have to take it out of your pocket, open it, then choose what to do.

The problem is I think the $400 iPad Mini likely outclasses this device in terms of software and performance.

The university makes it clear in their statement that they don't consider it a walk-back.

> I am discouraged by UCSC essentially walking back any penalties for violating their no-strike clause. They agreed to terms, and actively chose to violate them.

Their contract is with the university, which is within its rights to decide not to enforce those terms. The university is under no obligation to hold the line and be an example for other institutions.

At a more pragmatic level, since the weight of public and political opinion appeared to be against the university, enforcing that clause was likely to be seen as excessively punitive, and cause further damage to the university's reputation.

> You can't just carry an argument to its complete extreme - that's not how it works.

Reductio ad absurdam is a legitimate way to respond to an argument, if the argument is susceptible to it.

"It's not a bad law - if Uber can't operate in compliance with it, it has a bad business model." is an argument that could be used to defend any law. It defends the concept of law itself, rather than the specific law we are discussing. It's perfectly reasonable to point that out and ask where the line should be drawn.

Tom Hanks wrote the film as well. He has done a lot of good in terms of WWII history. Greyhound was one of those movies that really brought to life just what combat looks like on the water. To an outsider, naval combat seems rather benign and “far away” compared to Infantry, but the reality is that naval combat is terrifying and up close. It was an incredible film in capturing the horrors of naval warfare. Just seeing how hard it was to be a captain (or even a sonar man,) gives me redoubled respect for those that serve on the seas.
Here's how to add a new framework: https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/api/new-frameworks
You and I have very different views of coercion. Making a choice possible is not coercing people into that choice.

Debtors prisons are bad but of course that’s a separate issue.
The playbook is nothing new:

“Allow homeless encampments locally in inconvenient locations to visually show how bad things are getting.”

“Allow looting, pillaging, free cop-zones and curfews in inconvenient localities to visually show how bad things are getting.”

“Allow mass protests during a pandemic but arrest business owners who choose to open to visually show how bad things are getting.”

The playbook is, inconvenience enough people into the action you are interested in from them.
The following justifications are given:

-Use-after-free, double-free, memory leaks, and other lifetime bugs are prevented at compile-time by the borrow checker where the compiler checks ownership of data.

-Buffer overflows and other memory corruptions are prevented by compile-time and runtime bounds-checking.

-Pointer deference bugs are prevented by the absense of NULL pointers and strict ownership rules.

-Uninitialized memory is prevented because all variables and fields must be initialized.

These are all only true in safe rust. A hypervisor has to do low level things like translate memory addresses, move stack pointers around, etc. Nearly all the buggy C code, if implemented in Rust, would be wrapped in 'unsafe' and would be just as buggy.

I recommend everyone interested in Rust to take a look at how the standard library Vec is implemented[1]. The code is littered with `unsafe` - There is just no way to avoid it and do something useful at the same time.

This isn't really a shortcoming of the language, but of modern computers. It is fundamentally an unsafe operation to read or write memory, to communicate with a disk, etc. Every computer program is fundamentally unsafe. Rust does a fantastic job of making this explicit and controlling it as much as possible, but the idea that Rust code is bug free for free is just wrong.

Fund round naming is basically a joke. I know a guy who raised "pre-seed" money because he thought the amount he was looking for was too small to call a "seed" round. I know another guy on his 4th "seed" round in as many years. The cumulative value of these seed rounds is more than some series A's in the last decade.

You need to be very careful with projecting, particularly in a production environment. Costs are not evenly distributed across the month (e.g. IIRC reserved instances hit on the first of the month with a potentially very large cost).
Rust definitely has that advantage. The downside is most device driver programmers know C, not Rust. So if you want other people to work on your driver you either have to expect them to want to work on it badly enough to learn Rust or to already know Rust.
So if a government sees a company's actions as too unethical what are they to do about it other than target them with a law? I don't know about the specifics of this law, Ill assume you're correct it's poor, but I have trouble understanding your point of the law not being used as a weapon against these companies. That seems to be all its for to me, something to be used to stop a bad actors behavior. I can't imagine the majority of laws are created preemptively.
They were operating with the law. The law was arbitrarily changed to screw Uber. Can't believe so many here don't see this.

This syntax (and maybe it's just Yew) feels like it has SO much boilerplate. For you seasoned rustacians out there, is this something that could be reduced? It feels overkill for me. But then again, maybe I'm a spoiled JS dev with the wrong expectations.

Really curious to answers on this.

Other cloud providers can only offer the Apache-2 version of TimescaleDB. So you wouldn't get native compression, continuous aggregates, downsampling, etc.

So again, the value add in Timescale Cloud are those features (all of which took a long time to build!). Also: we fully manage the database, are responsible for keeping it online, are available for support via email and Slack, etc.

The only real alternative to Timescale Cloud is to run it yourself, where you get the features but not the services/support. But you are welcome to do that if you'd like :-).
You can set your own hours with W2 employment. There’s nothing that says that Uber can’t give their W2 employees that flexibility.

They could hire W2 employees right through the app, there is no technical barrier.

Uber just wants to avoid their fair share of payroll taxes and employee health regulations that their upper caste office employees enjoy. They want to provide benefits to some employees but not all, purely based on their job description.

I bet your ridesharing gig worker friends you know would love no longer covering the full payroll tax bill, and they’d love to be covered with workers compensation if they got into a car accident while driving for Uber.

If companies don’t want to pay for healthcare and benefits anymore, maybe they should start putting their lobbying efforts toward making healthcare paid through tax revenue rather than through the inequality and inefficiency of employer subsidy and for-profit private insurance companies.
It's garnering downvotes because a lot of HN readers have never worked with a very large and mature codebase before and understand just how crazy a migration is. They seem to think that writing in Rust magically eliminates most bugs. No... it eliminates certain classes of bugs but instead you get plenty of logical bugs.

The number of new bugs introduced in a migration would be enormous. It's not just "translating" the C into Rust-- you ideally need to write "idiomatic" Rust.

Rust is a fantastic language but what I despise about its community is how they seem to think every C/C++ codebase should be rewritten in Rust. Either it's a monumental effort or it would decrease the developer base in many cases. In the case of C++ template libraries then it's in some cases even impossible to replicate functionality.

I am not questioning the morality or strategy. I am questioning the principles. Additionally, "minor-thing" is completely objective. What might seem like a minor action from the US POV on the other end things are often taken very differently.

> Most importantly this is not anywhere near the level of intervention shown by Russia. Really, it's extremely insignificant by comparison.

Again who gets to say what is or is not insignificant?

Lord have mercy on anyone trying to explain this to angry boomer parents that live in Orange County (mine generally included).

The reason your kids cant buy a house down the street from yours has nothing to do with how much taxes your kids pay and everything to do with the policies that you've voted for over a lifetime of homeownership that have insured way less supply than demand.

Housing can be affordable or an investment, but not both.
