What purpose does mocking this person's question serve? Do you think you're going to convince them of something by making fun of them?
Count the wheels ;)

I chose my words carefully. Seems like bike trailers have mostly replaced those kid seats that used to go on the backs of bikes.
I recommend watching Adam Curtis' documentary called Hypernormalisation to get a sense of how badly this can get abused by political operatives. Especially this clip: https://youtu.be/Y5ubluwNkqg

What would be the logic behind “deaf”? That “mute” is a homonym/polyseme of a word for a disability, so let’s just use the first letter of any disability?
> Would you just set up multiple “origins” with each one pointing to a head maintainer’s computer (and named appropriately)?

That's one way of doing it. There are others as well.

I think the Raspberry Pi 4 should have had one standard HDMI port and one micro HDMI port. That would have addressed the majority of users. Only the minority of users that want a second monitor on their RPi would need an adapter or special cable.
It hits everyone equally by use of carbon. It doesn't hit everyone equally overall. $100 a year is an annoyance, especially if rebated. $10,000 a year substantially changes farming economics.
I think the source for hn isn’t on GitHub. I think it was (partially?) published a while ago but has since changed. Not that I disagree with the sentiment

After a bit of a scare a few weeks ago, I've started doing regular Google Takeout data downloads of email in addition to my normal backup procedures. I also verify that I can load the resulting mbox files into Thunderbird or another client.

I don't use Google Photos, I have my own local storage, backed up in triplicate by three different processes.

Finally, I'm a heavy user of Google Drive, but that is synced locally on several machines, and backed up in triplicate using the same processes as the photos.

Never rely solely on a 3rd party for your critical data. Always have an exit plan. And test it regularly.
>Do we need billionaires for our society to function?

Definitely not. They're exploiters, not producers.
"connectivity to one of those datacenters is lost"

Anecdotal, but AWS had more global problems than the triple connected data centers I've used in twenty years.

I suffered through many rough times, data center connection or power problems were not (very seldom) one of those.

Most of the problems came from apps that we didn't build well to scale or that had bugs (most frequent cause of problems and sitedowns).
But wherever there is patronage, you run into similar problems, and patronage seems to be a common denominator amongst many of africa's worst-off states.
I took that to mean it the projected image could be seen in daylight.
Happy fastmail customer of 5 years here.

I found a UI regression a few months back with the way threaded messages were working. Notified FM, they replied within a few hours acknowledging it was a bug and they would fix it asap. Fix was out within a few days, and they followed back to with me to confirm it was fixed for me.
Create short deepfakes that can go viral and be so ridiculous that they're both entertaining and obviously fake. Obama advocating for a border wall. Al Gore lobbying for the oil industry. Steve Jobs advising against staring at a screen all day.
I understand the worries behind deep fakes, but i'm going to be a bit facetious here, hasn't getting the most realistic, lifelike images always been the goal of computer graphics? Wouldn't deepfakes be the ultimate culmination of lifelike CGI. So lifelike it's indistinguishable from the real thing?

Like for most of my life, this is the goal I keep hearing about. Now it's here, suddenly it's too real.

I dunno just seems a bit funny to me. I've never been one of those graphics people myself, but it seems like a case of getting what you asked for, but being upset because it's different to how you expected it was going to be.
>I've been doing a 16-20 hour fast since the lockdown and WFH, and to be honest I saw a significant decrease in my overall anxiety as a result. Anxiety I often offset with significant amounts of CBD (a $100/month expense).

Ironic, because what I've noticed is my anxiety goes absolutely haywire after a long period without food. I can go with OMAD, but I have to be careful to have some nuts or something on hand if I need them
>And if you happen to be a shop that sweats assets for 7+ years that number starts being measured in the hundreds of percentage points more expensive.

If you include the growth in electric efficiency over time, it can be bad to run old servers after a certain point.
Not shipping a large amount of complex software with few users that went officially EoL long ago and is maintained by a skeleton crew, is hardly irrational.
Do you know what brigading is? I'm not sure where I implied YC itself was putting this on the front page.
Interestingly, on this forum, it is pretty common to espouse the "paranoid style" against tech giants, etc.

The "paranoid style" is just an extraordinarily resilient meme. It might just be genuinely unbeatable.

If I was doing my own thing I would go the same route as you, but I’m knowledgeable about this stuff, and can manage the entire system (network, replacing bad hardware, etc). It would need to be a very good reason for me to be oncall for that, or else I’d save money by going with something like ovh.
This is all wrong.

> probably the only sensible way would be to use Unity or similar

You're going to need to explain this one.

> you'd be stuck with a long and slow installation step instead of an instant load experience

A 20mb app takes the same amount of time to download whether it's a zip file or a WebGL app, but the browser one will be much slower, much more error-prone, have less features, likely will require an internet connection every time you want to use it, and isn't guaranteed to be available indefinitely (and is usually non-trivial to download and play locally).

> Even worse, you'd be at the mercy of each platform's capricious gatekeeper. Have fun passing certification requirements for all those consoles, buying a Mac to build your iOS binaries, paying the associated developer program fees, and good luck getting your app on Tesla and the long tail of smart fridges etc

And this one isn't very accurate considering you can't run a WebGL app on any (non-jailbroken) game console. Idk about Tesla or smart fridges though.
What I mean is that in a system where you’ve defined a type that requires validation to be assigned safely, and where you’ve provided means to validate untrusted input, functions which don’t handle untrusted input should be able to use those types freely... unless you don’t trust other people assigning types in the system.

In TypeScript we sometimes define nominal types with a technique called “branding”, and it works the same way: validate untrusted input and cast; trust at layers beneath that surface area.
> You'll pay more than the price difference for someone to implement all of that from scratch.

This is a common trap for startups. AWS has been around long enough that everyone has a 1st-hand or 2nd-hand horror story about someone with a $5000/month AWS bill for a basic website. This creates a false narrative that AWS is bad and or dangerously expensive. Or worse, that clever devops engineers can simply roll their own solutions with open source tools for half the cost.

The reality is that if a startup truly needs $5K/month of AWS services, they’re getting a bargain by buying it from Amazon instead of building it out themselves. $5K/month won’t even begin to buy you another qualified devops engineer to build and maintain custom infrastructure. The first rule of startup engineering is to use every tool available at your disposal to get to market as fast as possible. Cost reduction can come later, but you can never get back wasted time spent rolling your own solutions when an off the shelf vendor could have solved your problem in days rather than months.

However, the other trap is when inexperienced or overeager engineers see the long list of AWS product offerings and think the goal is to use as many of them as possible. There are some misaligned incentives for engineers who want to gain as much AWS experience as possible on their employer’s dime, regardless of whether or not it’s the right business decision. Worst case, mid-level engineers use as many AWS services as possible so they can pad their resumes, then use the experience to pivot into a higher paying job elsewhere and leave the startup with a mess of half-implemented, unnecessary AWS infrastructure and no one to maintain it. Unfortunately, it happens frequently in the startup world where companies are more likely to hire junior engineers who are eager to tinker with AWS and build their resumes.

The brute force way to avoid this problem is to simply constrain the engineering team to a less powerful platform like OVH or DO. If you don’t need any features of the bigger clouds, this works. However, as soon as you do need the big-cloud features you’re going to waste huge amounts of money building them out yourself. It won’t show up on the monthly provider bills, but rather be hidden in the much higher engineering costs and longer project timelines.

The real solution is to hire experienced engineering leadership who will keep complexity in check, then use AWS or other big cloud providers responsibly.

What is this Gemini thing anyway, and why am I excited about it?
This is SO GREAT!

I often feel deep existential dread about deepfakes and the lag between when they are viable (now) and when everyone stops trusting video that doesn't have some kind of rock-solid signed/encrypted/testified provenance (years from now or never?).

What better way to educate the public about deepfake technology than with over-the top satire?
"The "3 kinds of ice cream in Poland" example runs counter to your argument, because it's actually a case where consumers benefit from choice."

Are you seriously saying that '3 kinds of ice cream' represents 'choice' vis-a-vis the the literally hundreds of kinds of ice-cream that people would otherwise be able to choose? Of different flavours, textures, ingredients, sources?

You're taking a very obvious example of 'lack of choice' and trying to spin it as an example of choice?

The government says 'we can only have 1 type of SUV, 1 type of Truck and 1 type of Sedan' - and this would be 'choice'?

No, that's absurd, I can't really think you meant to actually write that.

As for 'towing' - you're mixing my metaphors here.

The 'Golden Gate' towing situation is an example of 'single point of failure' where there probably needs to be intervention, I was merely explaining how that 'special towing service' they have might very well be extremely inefficient. None of that example really folds over into the 'regular market' for towing'.

So yes - you have indicated that 'towing will be competitive' - but that's literally the artifact of the industry that keeps it efficient. When there is 'overcapacity' it adjusts, likewise 'underapacity' - it adjusts.

Those artifacts of the 'invisible hand of the market' are the literal functions that help us do price discovery and understand 'how much people are willing to pay' for stuff.

Any industry can be taken over by the mafia - more likely than not, it depends on the kinds of people involved in the work. You local drug R&D company is probably not going to be related to the Mafia. The 'Auto Shop' is full of the kinds of people who may 'know someone who knows someone' and since it's small business, local, it's more amenable to problems - but so are many industries.

Fighting the Mafia is no excuse to socialize.

At no point has the OP or yourself really given a good reason for why, systematically, towing should be socialized - again - the GG example is a very special case, not a general one.

Finally, yes, 'Government run liquor stores' were enabled in to help control the distribution of alcohol, so there is a historical social externalization there, but that's a very long gone artifact of history. It hasn't been relevant for 50 years.

In reality, there is no difference between distributional impact of social behaviour in Alberta / BC / California (open sales) or Quebec / Ontario / Sweden (Government sales). So it's not an argument, just a historical artefact.

The government is materially 'not succeeding' in 2020 to do anything with respect to social policy whereas the other social cost: expensive alcohol and lack of choice, is a material cost.

There's no reason for them to exist, they exist because of incumbency and the guild of people involve who benefit from it over others.

Get an owncloud/nextcloud account somewhere (or host your own) and use that instead. Works pretty much the same.

I would never say "don't use hash table" but I do think that a lot of the benefits from special data structures like these are more due to the organization of memory than being explicit about memory loading and disk writing.

In this case it seems like the downsides you mentioned are the downsides of keeping things on disk, not memory mapping (which would only hit the disk on the first load and would automatically use any available memory). Organization to use disk pages effectively would benefit memory mapping as well.

I've been in these conversations several times recently. My tips:

Go in friendly. Make an effort to assume and embody good will and rationality. The premise of most conspiratorial thinking is very dichotomous. They see themselves as the open minded against dismissive, closed minded opposition. Don't play into this by being dismissive. Be generous instead and assume that they are truth seeking just like you.

Don't be too defensive. If you don't know the "proof" for Gm1m2/r^2, don't pretend you do. Spend time. Be proactive instead. What's the proposed alternative to Gm1m2/r^2 and why do they think that one is true. Instead of seeking out logical holes and dunking, seek out points you can concede. This creates a common ground and gives them permission to concede points too. Intellectual honest is a reciprocal game.

Make it an interesting conversation, not a game you're trying to win. Almost all of their exposure to the topic(s) is either monologue (probably youtube), or ridiculing/dismissive debate. Good faith dialogue will be a rarity. Be that. It often gets epistemological, and that actually is interesting.

Last, remember that almost no conversation ends with a change of mind. That happens later, if at all. What you can "prove" within the conversation is that not all spherists are closed minded, dismissive arseholes.

I'd also recommend doing it. There's a lot to learn here that transposes onto less fringy stuff... especially politics. You likely can't convince Democrat to be a Republican, but you can convince them that some Republicans have reached their conclusions with an open mind, good faith and good intentions. That's the myth which needs to be busted. Other myths are secondary.

Conspiracy theories are about people and their perceptions of other people, primarily. The object of the conspiracy is secondary.
Hey there!

I’m Brian, Co-Founder and CTO of Voxel51 (voxel51.com). I’m excited to share FiftyOne, our open source tool that accelerates machine learning experimentation.

Nothing hinders the success of ML systems more than poor quality data. And without the right tools, improving a ML model can be a time-consuming and inefficient process.

We built FiftyOne to help ML engineers and scientists spend dramatically less time on ad hoc experimentation and instead uncover the insights needed to build better datasets and better models.

With FiftyOne, you can:

- Curate diverse, high quality datasets

- Visualize and evaluate annotations and model outputs

- Search, filter, and explore scenarios

- Identify failure modes in your models

We believe developer tools are most impactful when they are open and transparent. That’s why we released FiftyOne open source on GitHub! We want everyone to have the best tools for rapidly iterating ML models.

We’re excited to hear your thoughts and see the amazing ML products that are built using FiftyOne! Drop me a comment here or email me directly at brian@voxel51.com.

I always thought it would be a unique method of prayer (for an existing or new religion) that used part of the IPv6 packet header or an ICMP packet. We would be sending prayers at random with a ttyl to be broadcast across existing networks, and routers/endpoints could choose to listen.
Yup, me too. I thought I figured it out, until I started builing apps for an airline. Cabin crew wish to view their schedules in local times when departing and arriving. It took several tries to show their schedule in a calendar-like view that intuitively made sense to them.
Hi there, and welcome to HN. Have you done any analysis (or know of studies) that bear on the wonky technological (or tech adjacent) issues that tend to consume this forum? Examples would be copyright and patent issues, broadband availability, antitrust, net neutrality, technological unemployment [0], free trade / tariffs / trade war, H1B visas, gig work (eg. Uber), R&D spending, space exploration, AI/algorithmic biases/ethics, open source, capital gains taxes, etc.

Conversely, how do you view the structure and detail of party and candidate platforms (eg. Warren's "I've got a plan for that" vs., well, anybody else)? Is more detail better or worse in terms of election results?

I take such an issue with the portrayal of conspiracy theories like this, that is black and white. As with everything, it's that they encompass a range of things. Many times people have called conspiracy on something that's turned out to be true.

It's just as anti-science to be extremely sceptical of everything as it is to be extremely susceptible. Some people believe in lizard people, and some think China is trying to undermine world security. One may or may not be more or less believable than the other.

Why should I — someone with many of my subjective ideas and opinions try and talk someone else out of their personal beliefs and opinions. And why is the BBC, arbiter of shoddy journalism providing me with guidance on how to do it?
I agree with you, but the article just glossed over it. It should've done what you did and expanded upon these points.

As it stands, the article is just "The story of Sebastian's Mum: a victim of conspiracy theories" which is a more fitting title and still interesting, but it's not really a guide, so I also agree with OP, it doesn't really offer insight.

Once I finished the article I was like "is that it?!"

Unfortunately, I've grown pretty used to it. This year especially is vitriol to anybody that questions the mainstream narrative.
Some work needs to happen locally to show you a preview of what you're going to transmit, as it should for most video related work.

If the segmentation is done server-side, then you need to sync it to the sender and reflect that quickly in the preview. It's probably not a great experience, at least for a launch.
Good point. I'd hope they'd receive regular testing as well.

SFC Needs to Resign from Microsoft Before Telling Microsoft to Resign from RIAA
It's funny, this is almost exactly the argument we used to switch to non-BYO systems – moving from Jenkins to CircleCI.

We had Jenkins, but it required so much engineering time to manage, secure, upgrade, etc. Then when we hit scaling limits as our team grew, scaling it out to multiple machines took more time and cost a significant amount as we had to have capacity for peak time, which when all engineers are in one timezone is a significant peak compared to, say, the weekend.

We moved to CircleCI and while I have many frustrations with it, parallelism and ability to speed up the pipeline with minimal development overhead are not really frustrations I have. The cost is also minimal compared to the developer time, and while we're getting "less for our money", because we only pay for the active time, it's actually cheaper for us than Jenkins was just for hardware rental, let alone developer time managing Jenkins.

I can completely see how a different org with different constraints, different deployments, clouds, strategies, provisioning, distribution of engineers, etc, could come to the conclusion that you did – that BYO is better, but I think it does depend on so much.

There were quite a long work, for couple of years, on the parser. The first article about the parser is https://natsys-lab.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-fast-finite-stat... and next I updated it significantly in my talk at https://natsys-lab.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-fast-finite-stat... (http://www.tempesta-tech.com/research/http_str.pdf and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQc4er8ng64&feature=youtu.be... ). The talk also discusses code repetitions: compiler makes duplicate code anyway, even for straightforward `for` loop and nested `switch`, but in our case we had much more duplicate code.

The thing is that we used hot/cold labels to minimize jumps over the code and improve instruction cache usage, so calling functions isn't good at all. We wanted one big function with is executed as linearly as possible to improve instruction cache prefetching.
