> I'm not sure why you mention off-topic GPT3.

I mentioned that because there are true scams where they accept literally any text (and payment!) and "publish" it on their online only "journal". I believe instances of GPT-like nonsense being "published" by those scams have been posted to HN in the past. I was just trying clarify that I was NOT levelling that accusation against SPIE, in my case my original comment had made it sound like I did. Your offense at me bringing it up, just to say that I'm not accusing SPIE of that, is frankly an overreaction.

> SPIE has a different audience compared to basic research. ... it is a venue for applied research

"Applied research" is not an excuse for articles that contain little or no technical content. I have seen several articles that are just a description of a demonstration that took place of a new product. That product undoubtably contains interesting technical innovations, but those innovations are not described in the article, at least not in any sort of detail that would benefit future practitioners. That is not a serious research article of any kind, including applied research.

> There have been many highly cited papers from SPIE in my applied field. SPIE cooperates with OSA on the largest optics conferences ...

First of all: Regardless of this whole SPIE discussion, I have seen some truely awful articles that have been cited a lot. Infamously, there was an article in a medical journal that reinvented the centuries-old (millenia-old maybe?) trapezium rule for estimating the area under a curve and was cited thousands of times. Citation count, I'm sure we can all agree, is not an indicator of quality, at least not by itself.

But, as I said before: I can believe that interesting original articles with some real technical content are published to SPIE, particularly in its original field of optics. (The articles I'm referring to are more like products that include a camera or similar as a component, which technically falls under the field of "optics" but is rather far away from something more basic than a study of an individual type of lens, as in this article.) If you have seen articles like that then I'm not trying to invalidate your experience.

But I have also seen papers very unlike that, as I said above, and I ask you not to invalidate my experience by claiming that those don't exist. Ultimately, the conclusion for a reader like me that hears "this paper was in SPIE" is that maybe it's like the dubious papers I've seen in the past. If SPIE publishes some serious papers and some rather less so, perhaps in different journals under the SPIE banner, then the blame is on them for tainting their previously good reputation by accepting lower quality articles.
The relationship is also largely reciprocal. Humans are terrifying land creatures, but don't often attack Orcas.
To take this to a fun little limit, I tried to turn it into a self-saving form. Unfortunately, I hit problems with the History API being forbidden, replacing the URL seemed to only reload the page and not change it and so on... But I did eventually get something that is quite useable, which you should obviously not copy and past blindly:

data:text/html,<div id="c" contenteditable></div><a id="p"></a><script>var el=document.getElementById('c');el.addEventListener('input',function(){document.getElementById('p').textContent='Copy me';document.getElementById('p').href="data:text/html,"+this.parentElement.innerHTML;},false);</script>

And to expand that awful payload, it's basically the very simple:

<div id="c" contenteditable></div>
<a id="p"></a>
<script>
var el = document.getElementById('c');
el.addEventListener('input', function() {
document.getElementById('p').textContent = 'Copy me';
document.getElementById('p').href = "data:text/html," + this.parentElement.innerHTML;
}, false);
</script>

The idea being, you can _almost_ have a self-saving editable page. Because it was fun to make.

> For purchased software there is a contract for the sale of the software subject to the license, but that shouldn’t be confused with the license itself.

That's simply not true. You are indeed making a contract for the sale of the license itself. Otherwise subscription models wouldn't work and would even be legally allowed to share and resell the software, which you aren't (i.e. just because it's possible to resell an acquired license while keeping a working copy, doesn't make it legal to do so).

Wholesale prices in Poland fluctuate as well, but they're still higher at any given point in time.

And wholesale prices matter to investors - recently we had a large coal project shut down because with the added cost of CO2 credits the LCoE was simply too high, so nobody was willing to finance it.

you shouldn’t take Germany as a positive example for decarbonizing the electricity sector. We aren’t.

I'm not, because the UK with its shift from coal to gas+wind and increases in energy efficiency is a much better one. And also a great example how nowadays nuclear means mostly cost and time overruns.

Meanwhile France is operating on a aging fleet of nuclear reactors(35 years old on average), which hasn't increased in capacity for 20 years now. I'm not sure what's their plan when they will be forced to phase out some of the older units.

I’m very glad Poland and the Netherlands are actually planning to build nuclear power plants.

Well it's not going to happen here because these plans were a vessel for corruption from the get go.

On the other hand solar is growing because it's cheap and with two-way metering coupled with incentives homeowners have all the incentive they need to set up their own installations.

Nice, I just tried Demucs on my go to track (Fleetwood Mac - Dreams, mainly because it happened to be on my computer and I thought I could hear it multiple times without going crazy, but also it does seem to be a reasonably good test as there are some effects which seem to make separating the voice non-trivial etc) and the end result was very impressive. Definitely much cleaner sounding (sharper and fewer FFT artefacts) than Spleeter, especially on the drums and vocal.

I also tried it on a dance track (BT - Mercury and Solace) and the results were much less impressive. I guess this maybe reflects what it was trained on?

Too slow. Assuming that was a serious suggestion anyway.
I don't think the fundamentals of the technology are ever the most important aspect of the debate. What constrains us are human, political and market factors. That is why America has been slow to adopt renewables and why the nuclear industry has declined. That is why the US grid is in such a poor state.
> How are smartphones and tablets different from laptops and regular phones in this regard?

They are more likely to be attacked because they are better targets. They are more often carried around, have GPS and more cameras.

They are MUCH more difficult to manage centrally (e.g. company-managed antivirus/vpn/firewall, locked-down software installation, secure boot...), or inspect or modify.

They are more often used to all sort of untrusted networks (cafe', airport, hotel...)

Personal phones often have tons of untrusted apps with access to microphones.

Courts will generally not second-guess the judgement of management, but they are obliged to act in the interest of their shareholders, primarily, because shareholders have the ability to fire the board of directors.

If someone who owned a share of Search Google managed to get a controlling interest in Ad Google and was operating it to benefit Search Google to the detriment of Ad Google's minority shareholders, that would be one of the rare cases where a court would intervene.

Hobbyist game dev who's dabbled in Unreal and Unity with no CS degree and no experience in C# or C++ (but a fair amount of python).

Both are fine, but if you're going to pick one, I'd suggest Unreal by a long shot. Switching between the two is tricky and is likely to make one feel whichever they started with is more intuitive as the UI design is pretty different for each editor, but both feel fine after a short effort. The main reason I'd vote for Unreal is that Unreal feels like it's getting better at a noteworthy pace, and Unity is stuck in a one step forward, one step back pace.

* C++ (unreal) is not as fun as C# (unity). But Unreal's blueprint system (a visual, node based coding system) is much easier than both, and super helpful in the game dev world because it makes the engine API easily discoverable. Not good if you want to write a list sorting algo. Very good if you want to make a character jump. Dispense any preconceptions they may have implied about "not needing to know how to code" to use blueprints. If you can't code you will likely burn out trying to use blueprints without grasping the fundamentals of coding, because blueprints are just code with visual syntax, and syntax is not the hard part of coding.

* Marketplace assets on unreal seem way better. The high end stuff is better. The free stuff is better. The number of high quality textures and prefabs you get for free via quixel in Unreal is astounding.

* Unreal requires more computing power, and I found the editor crashes more. That's not so good.

* Networked multiplayer is just broken in Unity, versus integrated into everything for Unreal. This is huge! for shame, unity.

* Unreal's financial terms are more indie friendly (free for first million of revenue)

* Neither is going to make or break your game dev experience versus the other.
This is actually fairly unremarkable for some levels of security. Someone I know who works for a defense sub-contractor, they can't bring phones in their classified labs.
That is one way to do it. I wonder if you couldn't apply the effects to the tracks themselves.

Take tracks A and B. If the final audio track is composited as λ(αA+βB), perhaps you could save λ(αA) and λ(βB) as separate tracks in the file to be composited as λ(αA)+λ(βB). That assumes λ is linear, but you can likely cheat a bit to make it work on non-linear functions as well.

But once you start going down that route, you need to assume that the player will mix those perfectly, and looking at history, I wouldn't take that for granted. Some shader compilers are buggy, imagine what would happen on low-power HW, I guess it can only be done reliably if you control the player as well.
They’re two very different features.
If they're not flight risks and are not able to permanently disappear from the justice system's reach, then they're not the reason the bail system exists.
The truth is surely somewhere in between. Of course it's not healthy to log off your coding job and just keep coding for yourself, day in, day out. A full life involves so much more.

But on the other hand, I do kind of agree with the parent that a coder who shows no evidence of ever having experimented with a new technology or scratched their own itch with code seems like someone with neither love for nor curiosity about their craft.
What does forced to use a bondsman mean? Just that you can’t post your own bond from your pocket (which some jurisdictions allow, but how often does one have a bail amount of money in their pocket)?

I bonded someone out a few decades ago and instantly became a bondsman by so doing. (I have no other connection to the industry before or, thankfully, since.)

Based on the stream of paperwork I received threatening me with loss of bond money I posted, I’m not sure he ever returned to take care of the matter.

> Or maybe it's impossible to implement that hash function reversibly without preserving a copy of the input in the output.

Cryptographic hash functions rely on locally non-reversible non-linear operations.[1]

So you don't need to copy the original input, but you will need to copy bits here and there throughout the hash function, which allow the input to be reconstructed.

But that's not surprising, even a humble AND gate is non-reversible. So even a humble AND gate program will need to copy its inputs to the output if it's to be reversible.

[1] (As well, cryptographic hash functions are generally not reversible anyway. As in, different inputs hash to the same output value, so there's no unambiguous reversal.)

> It's amoral and when owned by the "good guys" (whatever your definition), it amplifies those morals and ethics and vice versa for the "bad guys".

I think my main point is that it is the technology-wielding side that prevails, independent of morality. Which means that technology has a moral impact, in reshaping what would otherwise be a fairer fight. Having won, the tech-wielders claim they are the good guys, independent of the actual morality of the situation. "Might makes right." "History is written by the victors."
Bail bonds fees are about 10% of bail bonds. You don't get any of your bond fee back because you got a 90% discount on bail. It's essentially a payday loan, with all the pros and cons.

That is exactly what it means: Sometimes, the courts won't allow you to just post bail, but force you to pay a bondsman. There is no choice. (My brother had this stipulation when he was 17).

With the power bank plus the internal battery, it plays for at least 10 hours on full volume, probably 12.

Also the sound is better with the external power bank, as the DSP limits volume and bass response when running on internal power. The PB100 is good value for the money, but don’t expect hifi quality. Its currently the best off-the-shelf solution for something you can still stuff in a backpack, unless you spend the big bucks and go with a Soundboks.

They really half-assed it tho:

- the LED lights are erratic and don't look that great

- the BT range is crap

- no built-in connector to connect external DC power like in the PB300

- internal battery life is not great, just 2400mAh, also not swappable

- no second set of tweeters like in the PB300

- takes a long time to boot (~20secs)

- no app to adjust the DSP or disable the startup sound
So, being genuine here. I don't care about carbon fuel, in the sense I have no particular attachment to it.

In every case where I've replaced carbon with something else, it's turned out to be preferable. Cleaner, quieter, lighter, longer lasting.

To me, there are lots of other reasons for cutting carbon than the environment. The environment is just a big plus. If we cut all carbon fuel and ended up with longer lasting, more efficient products, but global warming increased, why would I think cutting carbon had been a waste?

Personally, I'd like to see some state where there was a hypercompetitive market of many different energy sources, rather than being dominated by carbon. I'm not sure what that would eventually look like — maybe carbon would be a part, maybe not — but it would be better.
