Yeah I wanted to make a small change to Prusa's mk2/s extruder a long time ago. Rendering that design takes five or six minutes on my relatively-fast desktop, and it's an extremely simple thing. It was not clear to me why it was so slow.

In general I see OpenSCAD as a fun toy for making software-generated artwork, but not as a serious tool to make real things.
I question how much of "modern" graphics (IE things you can get a PHD for) is a manifestation of the engine, and how much is a result of the underlying libraries being used, and the fancy shaders being written. I don't think it's unreasonable to believe an engine like this could catch up.
I feel like the underlying issue is the actual quality of the scanner doesn't matter. It's more of a liability checkbox or culpability shifting device.
Well, their previous 'Sputnik', the Google alternative (sputnik.ru) failed miserably, so they're trying another one. And besides Chinese vaccine was first.
That people should discuss the issue even if one account of the issue is only 90% correct. People seem to be deflecting.
oh i completely agree that a binary distinction between 'tools' and 'science' is not useful. it's also extremely hard to be a good scientist without being very good at 'tools'.
however, editors at peer-reviewed academic journals or people awarding degrees mainly need to ask whether the work has advanced our knowledge on X.

if X is e.g. microbiology then it's fair to ask whether (1) some python library proposes something in terms of microbiology, and (2) bunch of biologists should make that decision.

this is why refactoring code is mostly dismissed as 'doing science' by most phd supervisors. sure counts as 'developing skills', which certainly should feature prominently as part of your training, but it cannot be all there is to a project.

I fear they honestly wont stop at app banning now that it has a precedent and apparently lots of people are cheering for it, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_... poem:

"First they came for chinese apps, but I didn't speak up for I didn't use chinese apps.[...]
Then they came for E2E apps..."

Honestly this all could be mitigated if we had less dependency on app stores, if iOS could send notifications from mobile Safari, WeChat could just migrate to PWA and its most loyal users would follow.

It seems like yesterday (it was) that people on HN were supporting a digital boomer equivalency of not allowing notifications because the web apparently must always be a document serving thing just cause, and a UX problem of websites asking a lot for notification must be met with removal of the function.
It's possible, but it would be very difficult. I wrote a blog post about this: "Can't you just right click?"

Oh yeah for sure, I am indeed biased and I recognize that. I still think that most people here fail to see how the app is used throughout the world in positive ways.

Interesting find. That would seem to strengthen Apple's case that they are not separate entities.
The Americans might charge you with sedition - the Chinese will rob you. ... but the second is way more likely than the first so you're trading evils.
Does their brain consciously drive the control of their cell pigment/color ability, or is it something more subconscious/reactive/instinctive?
Seems like the brain has to be involved to coordinate...

I wonder what the closest thing like that would be for humans? Would it be akin to me thinking “i want to be more tan” and somehow my cells get the signal to be more tan?

Obviously we will likely never know, but there is some leap here I wish we understood better. (Or do we and I’m just unaware?)

Edit: thinking about it more... i don’t know what happens when i think to “make a fist” and yet it happens, so maybe it is something more at that level...
No, ozone only happens below 210nm, which is why narrowband 222nm is good.
Hey I do agree with those things, I agree there are some actual good reasons and I agree there are PR reasons, I'm not arguing that. I guess I am miscommunicating, being misleading in a way I don't understand, or my style is grating some people.

I will just add that I agree that pushing to hire more diverse candidates isn't likely to cause a law suit for most companies. It might for a large company that is lopsided and clearly discriminating, but it'd take evidence which is hard to get. That's really outside the scope of what I thought we were talking about, though, because pushing to hire diversity isn't something that requires all employees to actively participate in the process.

The other two, avoiding implicit bias training and not removing sensitive words, in combination those could cause problems - and I know of companies where they have caused problems. If people actually use words that make multiple employees feel uncomfortable, and the company management has a record of complaints and no record of action to resolve the complaints, there is real liability there in today's world.

By and large I think there's probably a lot more agreement here under the surface than it looks like. My mistake might be failing to clarify that I'm not saying legal reasons are the only reasons. There are other reasons, I'm just saying the legal reasons are usually there, and are important. This is probably getting less true over time, where legal reasons were what it took to get some companies to actually do something, and today growing awareness means that companies are more likely to think it's the right thing to do, more likely to agree with the law, and more willing to begin taking action without any specific legal concern. I guess maybe it's quite a good sign that people here are disagreeing with me because it means things have been going the right direction, compared to my work experience over the last couple of decades.

> The US should only engage with foreign governments that respect free trade.

It may be a bit naive on my part, but in theory restricting free trade on this basis just makes us poorer. As long as two parties are trading, they both get benefits.
I find this amusing as this is an inherently human emotional evaluation. Perhaps that is not the point in the grand scheme of things?

Octopuses have survived for 500+ millions of years and I would say more intelligent and peaceful than humans who 'ruled' or savaged their own species for... what benefit actually?
There is a phenomenon with Physicists in their emeritus years.

They go into other fields, declare that the field is just so easy, try to model things as 1m radius spheres of water, see that the four interstitial cell layers of the bovine second stomach are hyper-complex and noisy when saline levels change 2% (or things to that effect), declare that the field still needs to change, write a paper up that is simplistic and help no one in the field, get a bit of press coverage, assuage their damaged egos, and then try out landscape painting or Ethiopian cooking.

This phenomenon of overconfident and un-humble emeritus Physicists is not restricted to just them, I'm afraid, but all people.

Humility is a virtue.

As someone who also feels they’re evil (left 5+ years ago), I will grant that it’s not all bad like many here like to think. I imagine many small businesses and nonprofits derive a lot of value from their community building and targeted advertising, which is (maybe) a good thing.

That being said, it’s a good idea to understand why the pay is so high (and it’s not because they’re nice people who only want the best for their employees):

You will be expected to leave moral qualms at the door. This an unwritten rule at many companies, but Facebook had to write it. That says something.

You will be expected to work for it. Hard. The people I know at Facebook easily put in 1.5-2x the hours I do at a FAANG-ish (late nights and weekends seem to be the norm), but get paid roughly 1.5-2x what I do. If that’s a tradeoff you’re willing to make, go for it. I however am making more money than I know what to do with, and thus value all the time I’m not working (hobbies, travel, side projects, etc) way more than the money I’d make from working during that time.

At the end of the day you aren’t going to singlehandedly destroy the fabric of society all that much in your first year, so you’re fine making the above sacrifices for a year or two for some quick cash then fucking off to pursue some real interests, go for it. But I sincerely warn you against sacrificing too much of your life (youth especially) and morals for money —- it really isn’t as valuable as it’s cracked up to be.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, yes it's an anecdotal, but it's also something that can't be explained other than "we don't know what long term effects are". If you said "my 20 year old nephew got covid and died and he was healthy", then sure, that's an annecdote of a rare event.

The general view now seems to be "it only affects over 55s", and that's mostly true -- there's lots of data to show that kids particularly are far more at risk of dying from other every day activities.

We have a rough idea of the IFR of 40 year old fit men, or 20 year old obese women, or of 7 year olds and 70 year olds. There's little long term studies for a disease that was identified less than a year ago - at least that I'm aware of.
This is surprisingly hard on some sites (try bookmarking your progress through a twitter thread, or your progress in an endless scroll site)
That's not how the burden of proof works.
Abstract it this way and it’s hard to argue that any blog post (or stack overflow answer or, I suppose HN comment) isn’t an ad. Or conversation at a cocktail party, for that matter (“lapetitejort seems to know a lot about bikes. I should ask them about mine.”)
Human life spans are driven by the fact that newborn humans need the support of their parents to survive until they reach sexual maturity. So there is selective pressure on humans to live just long enough to see their grandchildren born and not much longer. Octopi don't have that constraint. They just need to reproduce, then they're done.

Potential market share for literally any other company: <population of world - population of china>.

Since <population of china> is ~1.4 Billion, and <population of world> is ~7.8 Billion, how does one not understand that a chinese company has an insane and unfair advantage.

Tabbed browsing: a lousy band-aid over poor browser document and state management (2014):

...What I want is to maintain a list of current references, preferably with some spatial context (tree-mode browsing is great for this) to what the relationship is between pages in my browser session. I do not need is for every last single page to be open at the same time, sucking down memory, CPU cycles, and worse: playing videos and/or making noise.

That state-management is missing. Bookmarks aren't really it -- they're a permanent quick-reference to stuff you want to go back to, and as with any storage locker or closet, suffer from the clean-out problem: it's a goddamned pain in the ass to go and sort through the stuff you've tossed in there and clean out the junk.

Browser history isn't it either: it's too comprehensive, is insufficiently contextualized, doesn't record relationships between pages (other than, maybe, relative time). On mobile devices it's a chore to sort out where in your history a given page was in the highly constrained display available. Site-supplied titles are often absolutely worthless for finding content (though some such as HN do this well).

There's a space between the comprehensive listing of everything you've visited, and the highly organized catalog, that's missing in the browser space. Effectively: the current workspace, with the papers and books with which you're currently working open in front of you. I've been playing with this stuff for decades and it's still a frustration....

This sounds like you just don't know, or didn't know, how MacOS differs from Windows, and that you're confusing your ignorance for a decline.

"the mess that are locked down and all-over-the-place plist-files (good luck with those!)"

I have utterly no idea what you're on about here. .plist files are preference files, and they're overwhelmingly contained within either ~/Library or /Library. And they are not ever "locked down," at least not in my experience.

"When I first got a macbook at work four years ago, I couldn't even figure out how to install software"

See prior note. That you think you need an installer to install software is you mistaking Windows methods for methods universal to computing.

"when I'm writing code, I'm writing for linux-machines."

Many folks do x-platform dev on Macs, but you certainly DO need to take steps to accurately model your target environment before doing so. It sounds like you'd be happier on a Linux machine, but that isn't an example of failure or decline from Apple.

Your tie-in on vscode and your WSL sounds like a good feature for you. But this, too, isn't an example of "decline" for MacOS.

"The platform that is windows 10 feels so much more powerful and up-to-date than macos, it's not even a fair comparison."

This is a truly weird statement. I use both systems side by side, and have for 25 years. Windows is a fragile house of cards if you frequently add and remove software. C:\Windows inexorably expands, and the only fix is to wipe and reinstall from scratch.

You know what I've literally NEVER had to do on a Mac? Wipe and reinstall from scratch.

"But the sentiment I'm used to from my company is that "windows is completely unusable garbage, and apples computers are perfect""

As with most binary reductions of real-world situations, I agree that this is not a great statement. But Windows as a system still doesn't strike me as something I'd want to depend on in any meaningful way.

I run VMs (on my Mac, and on the Dell), and I have a fairly minimal environment my own loaded XPS 15, because that way I can get the whole setup running again with minimal effort when Windows shits the bed, as it very very often does.
The problem with that analogy is that Chinese companies are subject to the same bans as foreign companies. TikTok is not allowed to operate in China.

So, the special rule forbidding the FC Barcelona from leaving their side of the field also prevents the team of you and your co-workers from leaving your side.

There are laws in China that explicitly give Chinese companies an advantage (e.g.
mining is completely off limits to foreign companies) but internet censorship is not one of those. Chinese companies have to deal with all the same bullshit, and foreign companies who do censor (like Apple and Microsoft) are still competing and doing quite well for themselves.

What I like is that this engine actually have a demo which is more than few cubes and sprite: A full tiny game. Game engine should have more tiny games as it's a good way for newcomers to have something they can start to hack (change gravity/texture/lighting effects) and understand what a game engine is and how it work.

The code is quite clean and it also provide scene editor with dedicated UI widgets.

I see what you are saying but still I think there should be a machine readable format that browsers can parse and display in a unified way. For cookies it should work as I described. For advanced fingerprinting techniques that need to be disclosed that could be done via an additional plain text which is just rendered by the browser, still in a unified way. Then future browsers could detect/block even some advanced fingerprinting but check for an explanation (eg in /.well-known/privacy.txt) and present the user with a choice.

I just do not get way the website itself has a say in how to display the constent prompt at all (it needs to be accessible, should be readble and dismissable without javascript, actually I would want to be able to read it before visiting the website). Currently I can not even get a list of all websites of which I accepted any agreement with not to mention re-reading any of those consent texts.
LOL. It's an American publication, writing for an overwhelmingly American audience, so...
agree in broad principle, but disagree with the details.

do not impose your western values on China, as the one true morally correct way of life. what China chooses to do is their decision; we are in no position to make any moral judgement on it one way or the other. in fact, in many ways "we" are the morally bankrupt ones. "we" have not just voluntarily, but even eagerly exported slavery to China. it's really great because we can claim a high standard for human rights at home, and ignore them over there.

anyway, it is 100% fair for China to close commerce within China to China-controlled or China-owned companies. this is not dirty behavior, not one bit. i'll go so far as to say, how dare you. it is completely within their right. it is also 100% fair for us (USA) to do so, or not, or to be arbitrarily selective about it.

so your comment also is that this is some kind of retaliation, a tit-for-tat. and that it's a competition for revenue. it is neither. it's recognition that China (the state) is collecting very powerful data on US citizens.

like it or not, we are at war with China. this data collection cannot be allowed.

There is a difference in what happens if you fail to pay these 110 dollars or if product is broken.

With loan, bank will use a court system to get back its money, and court can size your other property to return your debt, and by the power of small text your fines can unexpectedly outsize the price of the product by one or few orders of magnitude. With Sharia banking you will never pay more than these 110 dollars, and if you fail to pay them, the bank will size that product without using the court as it is legally a property of the bank unless you paid these 110 dollars.

I think more like moving your body. You can do it when you want to, you can do it on autopilot with varying degrees and axes of control, or do it while asleep. You don't need to subvocalize it, you think more about the result, next intentions, etc.
Sarcasm? If you disagree with what you quoted, perhaps you could explain why? Simply saying you disagree doesn't really move the conversation forward, does it?

It seems quite obvious to me those are not equivalent statements, but if you think I'm wrong I'm willing to listen to why you think that, if you're willing to explain it.
