We have tried both Meet and Zoom for the ASL class I am taking. Both are fine until the instructor needs to present a powerpoint. Zoom stops showing everyone's video. Not sure if there is a difference between Zoom desktop app and Zoom chrome extension.

For Meet, it is nice that the instructor can present from a tablet but there is no way to hid the presentation video so it is way too small to see everyone signing.

I suspect you're being downvoted because people are misreading your tone, but I agree with the overall sentiment: D&I is often (though not always) coded language for "critical-theory ideology". I'm likewise suspicious of organizations that reify this in a particular board or department, especially when the company culture seems to be very procedural, bureaucratic and/or CYA. When it comes to weeding out *ism, these groups have a tendency to care only about hit-rate with little or no regard for false alarms. In extreme cases, they view any disagreement with their principles and practices as an affront in and of itself -- one that calls for punishment.

The whole world doesn’t need to. A sea level rise of 2m doesn’t matter for most of the world, or even for most coastal regions. And of the coastal regions that will be impacted most can be sacrificed with limited disruption. For the much more limited areas of the world that are coastal, have low elevation even well inland, and are densely populated or otherwise economically valuable, flood control is totally realistic (with the exception of some places like Florida that are screwed by the underlying geology).

"Use your brain" indeed.
I've noticed that since everyone has gone remote, everyone wants to Zoom more. Things that could be a short discussion in Slack or a quick comment on a github PR are now a full-fledged Zoom meeting. I end up taking notes, which makes the meeting even more slow and awkward. If I were deaf, it would be impossible to do my job.
Hmm... honest question, do blind people learn the shapes of letters?

Surely even if blind from birth they'd at least want to touch embossed prints to feel the shape of characters? On the other hand I suppose there's not much of a need to memorize them?
Interestingly I once had a near-accident with a Waymo car because I had a stop sign and thought it was a 4-way stop (which would mean I got to go first since I stopped first), but it was only a 2-way stop, and the Waymo had right of way.

That's right, in California, 4-way stops aren't [edit: consistently] labelled 4-way, so when you come up to an intersection with a stop sign you need to peek around at the transverse road (sometimes in the dark) to see whether or not they also have a stop sign to know whether it's 2-way or 4-way. All while looking out for cars on both sides.

The Waymo car stopped just in time and there was no accident. Not sure if this was because of the safety driver or because its algorithm had seen and extrapolated my car's motion and actively avoided the collision.

(Or if they are advanced enough, maybe they have mapped out all the stop signs in California and have labelled all the intersections that are 2-way stops in which a driver could accidentally think it's 4-way, and anticipate the possibility of an accident in advance at these dangerous intersections. I doubt that though.)
There is no way to author a set of rules such that it can't be abused by someone with the power to enforce it. That's why the law has judges, juries, courts of appeal, standards of evidence, disclosure rules, corpus delicti, habeas corpus, and so on.

The problem is not the CoC, but the lack of accountability, oversight, and transparency in enforcement.

> The problem with non-binding agreements is the same as unenforced laws -- those who are "good" people follow the rules, and those who are "bad" don't. In a competitive environment, those who have no qualms about breaking the law (agreement) are at an advantage.

I agree with this. See: How rogue countries such as US just walked out of non-binding Paris accord.

However, there is no big daddy to enforce any agreement. Anyone trying to be a big daddy and force other countries to submission will only lead to another world war

This has played out before, right after WW1 where America and UK tried to subjugate Prussia to shame. It only led to simmering tensions and WW2. That is exactly the reason why after WW2, Roosevelt decided to lead the world with multipolar institutions, where many powers have a stake in the well being of the world. With big daddy diplomacy, there will be winners and losers and the next WW will not forgiving on mankind.

Before accusing someone of simplicity and emotions, acknowledge that you may have gaps in your understanding of WHY we do non-binding agreements. Do your homework, learn some history.
I'm on the flip-side of this. I have enough hearing that it is only sometimes a barrier. But I have an associated speech impediment. Voice recognition is always garbled.

> it's at most a false claim

In your opinion. As the recipient of said 'claim' I took it as an attack. Maybe I'm an overly sensitive person, maybe it's the end of a long week and I'm just feeling cranky, either way it offended me. So in this fictional world I feel that I have been attacked, and the HN CoC frowns upon members hurting other members' feelings. What should be done?
Don't be obtuse. It's a partisan tabloid spouting off an emotionally worded narrative.
If you have two screens for Zoom you can keep one screen for screen share and see everyone else on the other. I think there might be a way to turn on this dual window approach on a single screen too so you can control how much screen real estate each gets.
It's a feature of Zoom, meetings can be set up to force presenter control. I'm not sure if there's a way to allow individuals to bypass it, but it is something the meeting-creator can turn off.

Got it. I can't speak of Gradient's roadmap, but as of right now they are using Jupyter as a notebook and focusing on infrastructure around it. We are innovating on the notebook itself.

Huge part of it is simply the UX. There's a wide range of what kind of work a data scientist does. Some train models that go into production, some analyze the datasets and build reports. Probably best to try both products with your workload and see what works better.
Both! I need to be able to handle merge conflicts for data, but I also need the machine to be able to apply the changes.
I guess that doesn't surprise me too much for a sim, though the future of racing games may be the other way around. Some of the most loved tracks in racing games are fantasy ones where you have full control to iterate on the experience and scenery.

Would be nice to see next-gen racers returning to that in a big way and eventually have people wanting to license the tracks for real-world construction after they've been battle tested by millions of virtual drivers.
Not in a holistic way AFAIK, and for sure not rigged up to the Raspbian kernel (since all of that lives on the videocore side), but I bet Broadcom or the RPi foundation has access to some undocumented perf counters on the DRAM controller that could illuminate this if they were the ones debugging it.
Some of these special vacuum tube devices were really hard to make and required a lot of physical skill to make by hand.

My wife's grandma actually did that, making special vacuum tubes for a tech company after WWII up until she retired in the 60s.

That was a highly skilled job and the family legend is that grandma was so good, even after she retired, the company would sometimes need to beg her to come back for a day and make something particularly tricky.

Its a single lane pcie gen2 interface. The max theoretical is 500MB/sec. So you can't ever touch 10G with it. In reality getting 75% of theoretical on PCIe tends to be a rough upper limit on most PCIe interfaces, so the 3Gbit your seeing is pretty close to what one would expect.

edit: Oh its 3Gbit across 5 interfaces, one of which isn't PCIe, so the PCIe side is probably only running at about 50%. It might be interesting to see if the CPUs are pegged (or just one of them). Even so, PCIe on the rpi isn't coherent so that is going to slow things down too.
True true... though in my work trying to get a flexible 10 GbE network set up in my house, I've found that the support for 2.5 and 5 GbE are iffy at best on many devices :(
That is a nonsensical and entitled notion of property that stated an entitlement to another's server.

Channels, accounts, and online storefronts don't stay online of their own accords. They require hardware, software, and occasional power.

If I decide to unplug an old PC that was acting as say a dedicated game server would I be depriving many people of property? Which would make my own ownership of the server a lie?

The only way that would be sustainable would be a contract to pay the host. That is basically existing contract law with a self-aggrandizing name attached to it. It contributes literally nothing new conceptually.
Thanks for the feedback! We will be adding "Object Detection" next, which is identifying objects within an image and adding a bounding box around it. We are also exploring multi-label classification to classify an image as "dog" and "cat".

For Image Classification, that is a good approach is predicting if an image has both a cat and dog is important.
Thank you, working on a video right now.
Am I reading this correctly?

It seems to say that Jeremy is still considered guilty of a CoC violation but if he appeals then the board will hear it (rather than the committee). So Jeremey has to file an appeal or the decision will stand? So the onus to fix this is on Jeremy who seems so exhausted by this whole process that he's quit conference talks?

That seems a response that lacks any sense of empathy to Jeremy.

edit: Okay. On Twitter they said that no judgement was made even now. However their enforcement policy (which the apology explicitly references) only mentions appeal if an action was already decided upon "Give them a place to appeal to if there is one, but in the meantime the action stands." Given that not adhering to their own process and written documents was a chief complaint it seems they haven't learned much yet from the incident.
Funny, just spent this morning working on a Hugo project for the first time in a while, because I just discovered https://netlifycms.org.

I love Hugo and how fast it generates my business site (https://sunboxlabs.com), but having just hired a first (non-technical) writer I had a classic dilemma: either teach them the Hugo command line/markdown or switch to something like Forestry/ButterCMS/Wordpress for a non-technical CMS.

Then I found https://NetlifyCMS.org: You just add an /static/admin/ folder with two files in it and BOOM: non-technical users can create and edit posts with a Wordpress like dashboard (saves as Markdown to Git still). Strongly recommended.

I agree. But somehow city people have lot of opinions about farmers, what they should do, how they should think, how they should live their life. And I never see it the other way around.
>>>", because he now has a "previous CoC violation allegation" on his permanent record, regardless of his acquittal."

Couple that with the "public apology" seems like an open and shut lawsuit that many lawyers would be happy to take on contingency.

So theoretically, 5 Gbps was possible

No, it is not. That NIC is a PCIe Gen2 NIC. By using only a single lane, you're limiting the bandwidth to ~500MB/sec theoretical. That's 4Gb/s theoretical, and getting 3Gb/s is ~75% of the theoretical bandwidth, which is pretty decent.

This all reminds me of a talk Justice Scalia once gave. The gist was that the US Constitution isn't very good compared to a lot of countries' equivalent document. For example, the Soviet's Bill of Rights was undoubtedly better.

The important issue is how you structure the governing bodies and separate powers. If you don't do this correctly then your Constitution, or bill of rights, or Code of Conduct, is worthless.

I don't think the tech community has figured out this second part.

I’m sure this differs across people and companies, but in my experience a one-on-one Zoom meeting is often faster than the slack discussion would be.

It’s similar to walking over to your coworkers desk to chat for things that are too longwinded for slack but not worth a meeting.
Unfortunately RCV has some of it's best properties nullified when it comes to how the US does presidential elections.

Spoiler candidates are back in the running under this system.

E.g. everyone in maine has the following preference:

Jo Jorgenson

Joe Biden

Donald Trump

They have demonstrated that they'd prefer Jo Jorgenson over Biden, but Biden over trump. The reality is that the rest of the country can only show a preference for one candidate as first choice. Maine submitting a vote for Jo Jorgenson when she can not win the whole election really goes against the principals of RCV.

For now it'd be really good if they specified their delegates to vote in a way to best preserve the total ordering, not just to vote for whatever candidate 'wins' the RCV for maine alone.
If you're working in a group think conformist organisation with a single mono repo like Goolge then gRPC certainly has some allure.

But if I'd like to remain a little more decoupled it's not very good at all.

REST is definitely not a magic bullet either because more often than not we fail to do that hard modelling aspect well enough.

Sorry about that, I am currently updating it and I will upload some questions the following days.

About obsidian.md now, it's a great, smart and extensible piece of software but its type of usage is slightly different from wreeto. I don't know If obsidian.md has a cloud or a server version to be honest. Plus the roadmaps of the two (will upload wreeto's as well) is different.

Hey there! Thank you so much for the feedback, we are planning improvements like this.

Here's a few tips for now:
1. You can view by "Test Images" on the Train tab (view options). So you can see how well your model is performing on your test images (a random 20% split from all of your images).
2. You can test your model on the Play tab, by dragging in new images your model has not seen, to see how well it is performing. You can also tell Lobe if it was correct or not and iteratively improve your model.
% echo '{"a": 5, "a": 42}' | jq

I totally agree, but people don't generally claim we should get rid of the law for these reasons. I am responding to the claim that we should get rid of CoCs, which I disagree with. I am not arguing that CoCs are perfect, or that we don't need checks. In this case, it seems that the CoC was pretty poorly written, and the team didn't even follow their own procedure. I think we should fix those problems rather than throw the whole thing out.
It looks nice! But it's still missing a semantics. When are two values equal? When are they distinct? JSON and most other formats also have no real semantics. XML is a notable exception, with XML infoset defining a semantics for the syntax. See also https://preserves.gitlab.io/preserves/why-not-json.html

With the Zoom desktop app you can click a button on the top right to switch the view. This allows you to see the presentation and the gallery view at the same time (make sure to have a recent app version). With the mouse you can resize the view between presentation and videos if you like to make the videos bigger.

They are offering a life-long 80% discount for early registrants, with one month's notice. That is quite generous. To twist that into a "pressure sales tactic" is one of the most HN things I've heard.
Coincidentally, I just converted a small personal site from Hugo to Jekyll (a custom home page and a handful of blog posts). Took about 3 hours to make the full transition.

Build times went from 10 seconds to 0.2s.

I don't love the template language but once we've coded blog post pagination, head tags, image optimisation etc. it's rare you need much more.

The speed up feels amazing when you're developing, I love that it's a single binary as you know it'll build without issues when you return to it in a few months, and it has enough built in (Sass, minifying, JavaScript bundler, image optimisation) that you just focus on site content rather than procrastinating with your build chain.
So... it's a "dark pattern" to give you access to some articles for free and then, should you like them and want to read more, ask you to pay for them?

IDK, but that seems pretty straightforward to me.
Interesting idea. I can see this working with a small team of the right people, but I can also see it being counterproductive in some ways.

Specifically, the amount of process described in this document is massive. Printed out, it becomes 9 pages of process. Surely competent engineers can pick up on it quickly by following the guide, but what benefit does all of this process have over simply creating a Wiki page and having each team member write their discussion in their own section?

These things always feel fun at small companies within the teams that conceived them, but it's easy to lose track of how unwieldy these process- and tech-heavy solutions to simple communication problems are for newcomers.
However, it may be less convenient for them when you do that.

I don't think the body works like that. After you eat carbs, your insulin level goes up and the cells get the glucose in them. If there's more than they can take, it is put into the adipose tissue as fat. Eating carbs once every 3 days is in no way telling the body that there is enough food, quite the contrary actually (all this is just my opinion).
I thought your Your 2.08 crashes/million miles number had to be wrong, since if that were true the average person would have about 1 accident every 50 years or so (which doesn't match my experience of everyone I know having accidents).

Your number was "police reported accidents" which was apparently 6.7M. Anecdotally, I have been involved in 10 accidents or so as a passenger or driver, and none were reported to the police.

So I can't find good numbers on what the real number is but I think its conservative to estimate it at 1/2 are reported to the police. In addition, "Crashes" mostly involve 2 cars, so the "police reported cars that crashed" is roughly 2x, or >12M.

Basically, those changes makes it roughly 8 crashes per million miles for normal driving, or Waymo being basically the same.

I still think that accident rate is too low though. This estimate is 6 crashes every million miles based on allstate data https://mashable.com/2012/08/07/google-driverless-cars-safer....

If that was the case, then humans would be at about 12 vehicle crashes/million miles, almost 2x as dangerous as Waymo.

So about 2x better than human performance?
