Neutrons visibly interact with matter, but only when there's a lot of that matter, e.g. reactors use neutrons to heat water. I'm yet to read the two links you provided, though.

The story is different in the interstellar space. The only matter there is sparse gas and neutrons, even lots of them, would have little opportunity to bounce into each other or those gas atoms.

Those neutron clouds could eventually form asteroid-like rings around galaxies: invisible, but massive. For the same reason, every massive object, including our planet, would have such a ring. That's a falsifiable hypothesis.

As for the black hole argument, there could be two explanations: first is that neutrons that are nearby don't get to stay too long and either transform into protons and become visible gas, or fall into the black hole; second is that neutrons that are really far, light years away, could happily orbit around the black hole unnoticed and if there's enough of them, we would see subtle gravitational lensing effects.

There's another valid point against neutrons: their lifetime is only 10 minutes. However neutrons and protons are two particular compositions of quarks. Are there reasons why quarks can't form a stable neutral particle in the interstellar space? That particle would be much like a neutron, but stable.

The reason I'm pushing for this idea is that there's an odd flyby effect: it causes spacecrafts to accelerate and decelerate slightly. We could use those observations to calculate the precise shape, mass and velocity of that "neutron ring", make a satellite fly in the opposite direction and observe if there's strange heating of water or other reactions that could be caused by neutrons. Since it can visibly accelerate a spacecraft, there should be a good deal of those neutral particles and thus they should visibly heat up water.

I'm not a physicist, but this seems a way simpler explanation of dark matter than "axion fields" or whatever is currently trending.
Latency and reliability on WiFi, even the best, pales in comparison to a simple UTP cable. Besides that, you're always just one step away from some security issue in the WiFi stack that might leave you wide open to abuse from nearby stations.
I agree we don't know the whole story. But this is the version of the story that puts the OP in the best light, and still, my overall impression is it just seems like it's not worth it.

What's the best case scenario they could get out of it? Maybe 6% equity, or maybe a $10k severance. But going after a company with no revenue and only $40k in the bank doesn't really seem like the best use of anyone's time, energy or money.

There's minimal available short-term value, and litigation/fighting will sharply blunt any potential long-term value.

Ask HN: What are you having trouble with in machine learning projects?
Hi,

Assuming you do it professionally, how do you go about your machine learning projects? What is your workflow? What tools do you use and why? What tools don't you use and why not?

How is your team organized if you have a team? How do you collaborate and hand-off each piece of the puzzle? How do you handle data, develop your models, track experiments, deploy and manage your models, etc.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Disclosure: we're building a platform[0] for our own needs for now, but I'm interested in how other people do it. Right now, we have real time collaborative notebooks, no-setup huge images with the most popular libraries, long-running notebook scheduling with output that survives closed tabs and network disruptions, automatic experiment tracking [we automatically detect parameters, models, and metrics and save them], AppBook publishing (one click parametrized notebooks), model deployment, and packaging models in Docker containers you can push to a registry.

Thank you,

How did a military alliance contribute to Israeli/Moroccan relations? AFAIK Morocco relies largely on Russian military purchases, and there doesn't seem to be more than a diplomatic quid pro quo in effect regarding their normalization of relations.

The Syrian conflict seems to be completely devoid of any influence by countries in alliance. Russia is just looking to sell gear to Syria as they always have, and to poke a finger in the eye of Turkey. They also have long craved a naval base in the Med and succeeded. Turkey has geopolitical ambitions as well, not wanting to see a Kurdish state get developed, plus wanting to flex some muscle. I don't see any treaties or alliances having a significant role in that conflict at all.

[opinion to follow, my own]

Even in 2020, while the rich get richer (literally being subsidized by COVID "relief" bills) and the poor are looking to avoid being evicted, the flood of pro-corporate defenders is never ending. It is a true downside to having such a large, albeit fragile middle-class.

The fundamental premise of this story is flawed given how most board/c-suite positions are attained and how almost all wealth is acquired e.g. inherited.

And HN is not immune to the rallying cry of defending billionaires and our perverted version of a "free-market" (lol).

Anyway, I'm mad, too, internet stranger. I'm mad that we spend more time admiring CEOs than we do fixing real problems.

Getting turbo is trivial on any backend. Just include the js.

Phone cameras are already at the limit of the space they can occupy. You would have to trade off the number of cameras.

As for the rest, lp/mm only makes sense at a given MTF rating. MTF50 is the standard. MTF9 is very, very, very generous. Incredibly so.

But anyways, sure, let's take 900lp/mm on the short edge for 4590lp/mm MTF9 - maybe I misremembered. A 5DSr with a real world zoom lens, the 24-70mm F2.8L, gets 7700lp/mm in the real world, and that's the MTF lens-sensor system, not just the lens. And that's not even close to the maximum possible resolution, nor to the maximum you can actually get in real life as you can. If you take the sharpest full-frame lens I know of whose MTF9 is limited to 400lp/mm because no testing apparatus was available that could go higher, the actual maximum is around 9600lp/mm. In any case, even the highest theoretical resolution of a phone is far lower than the practical resolutions of ILCs in use today, and is actually less than the sharpness of a 90$ lens on the very cheapest full-frame body you can find.

Indeed, take the Canon 50mm EF II, with an MTF50 yielding ~2000-2400lp/mm on the short edge of FF sensor. According to this source (https://www2.uned.es/personal/rosuna/resources/photography/D...), at around f/1.6 we should get around 420lp/mm, on the short edge that's 2142lp on the short edge, which is less than the cheapest EF lens in production right now. I don't know about you, but the best possible performance in theoretically perfect conditions being under the performance of the cheapest EF lens in the real world says something.

In real life, of course, the lens-sensor system will barely get close to the theoretically perfect result, and you will peak at the best possible result being around half the linear resolution of the cheapest production Canon lens.

Keep in mind, if you were to go for a larger sensor, you'd have to increase the focal length to compensate too. So 20% increase in sensor size length would need a 20% increase in focal length and at the same f number you'd need a 20% wider aperture too. And again, you'd be fixed at around 25mm FF eq. focal lengths, if you try more practical focal lengths like 50mm FF eq. you would see a drop in quality. They're already pretty much at their optical limits and have been for a while, actually f/1.6 isn't even the fastest phone lens - but those had smaller sensors still.

Well, I do think the game has some very big problems (aside from the bugs; see my other comments), but most of the story is very well written in my opinion and the characters are great. There were some moments that really hit me hard in the feels. There were some little details (ringing Jackie's phone for example) that were just fantastic. I'm upset with CDPR management for lying and for not giving the dev team the time needed to finish it properly, but I'm not upset that I bought the game. I got my moneys worth and had a good time with it (yes, the game did crash regularly and have lots of annoying bugs, but I was mostly able to ignore it and continue anyway -- on PS4 too!)

I didn't think I'd like Silverhand at all, I haven't really seen any Keanu movies since The Matrix so had zero buy in with him being in the game, and at the start he was such a dry character. However, as it went on and as V and he interacted more, he grew on me and I guess V did too, so the V/Silverhand blend at the end became something I actually cared about.
I'm pretty sure this is literal stalking. According to the law, AFAIK, the detective carries the risk of getting arrested for anything illegal they do, so they probably have very good lawyers standing by whenever.

There are exceptions to the law, though. In my country, you need a special permit to run a PI agency, which isn't just blindly given out to anyone. There's also not a lot of useful stuff a private detective can do. No installing of car trackers, no tracking of phone calls, no IMSI catchers, no recording without some specific exceptions (recording on the public road is acceptable, but recording things like a car's license plate isn't, etc.). There's also a limit on what can be shared.

If this came to an actual lawsuit, a lot of the evidence would probably be thrown out and a counter suit for infringing the victim's privacy would likely be successful, though the payout in a European court would not be huge. The goal here, though, is to intimidate and keep everything private.

Yeah I think you're right.

I got the LG Meetup for my living room at the start of Covid and it's mostly an overpriced disappointment. I also had to get the external mic because the built in one doesn't have the range advertised (they actually advertise two different numbers).

I wanted something I could just plug into my TV PC to use for video chat. The Rally setup has the PTZ camera I wanted, but requires two external boxes which (as far as I can tell) serve no necessary purpose other than bad design.

In hindsight the PTZ rally camera with an unrelated third party mic would probably have been the best bet. I would have thought El Gato would come out with some high quality webcam eventually.

This is such a tired line. No, we don't know the other side. But the OP is here and asking for advice, so rather than sliding into some kind of false balance you could simply assume that they are telling the truth and basing your advice on that. The obligation to inform is on them, and speculation on your part what the other side may or may not be is pointless.

That's all speculative.

Alternative point of view: if it was worth nothing the co-founder wouldn't be making such a play to own it all.

But that's exactly why the OP is here: to ask people if they do see such a path. If you can't see such a path then maybe just stay out of it rather than trying to talk the OP into something that they may regret gravely?

This rule does not forbid the hiring of banks to do all or any of these things. It just gives companies the option not to.

I expect this will improve both service and pricing from banks for work related to IPOs in the long run, as they now have to prove their value in absolute terms, not just vs competing banks.
It is simpler technology, just 1D.

You can read it with a led or laser, a motor with a mirror, a filter, a photodetector and a cheap microcontroller that cost cents.

The technology is so simple. A point of light moves and you get an output of ceros and ones, edges are supersharp.

There are lots of cheap chinese guns with the components already integrated.

If you have already a video camera and big microprocesor, QR are much better.Scanning barcodes with cameras is tricky, because barcodes edgess are blurry.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've enjoyed quite a few of Mark's videos over the years. He's clearly smart and talented, but it was unsettling how insanely productive he seemed to be. That sort of thing naturally creeps into my subconscious and not in a healthy way.

He mentions the people he works with but the videos are still presented in a way that makes them feel like a single person production. I should've figured there was more to it than that.
Using test equipment, I'd imagine the way to do it would be to sync a microphone and a logic analyzer and then short the shutter button. For the Sony A7 Mark I it's around 0.023 seconds : https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-a7/sony-a7A6.HTM

Granted, it's not "no shutter lag", but 2.3ms might as well not exist.
Agree! Let's not think leather shoes and shirt cuffs is always better. There's a long running issue with fee-for-service giving what the client wants. Ok to be fair to banks they could easily be value add but only if they face stiffer down side on fees when fraud, bs, and bad evals happen earning indeed commanding those fees on the upside or average case. It's separating risk from reward that is the issue largely.
The link included in the person you responded to says: "About half the journalists here are freelancers, who may lack the institutional support of a newsroom and the financial resources for a potentially expensive legal defense."

Well, Uber drivers definitely directly support Uber's primary business. So I'd say that's a different situation altogether. (and they're not really outsourced, Uber directly "contracts" each one of them) Many businesses fail when trying to outsource staff that directly support their primary product or service.

A more direct comparison to the issue of Frito-Lay's janitorial staff is something like: should Yellow Cab should hire their own car wash staff or make a deal with a local car wash?

The only big GWT project I've ever been on was a governmental project that I won't go into (because it's Danish and I would have to describe a bunch of stuff that everyone in Denmark knows and nobody outside would probably care about), but the company providing it was porting their Java version to JavaScript and had a significantly large codebase to leverage.
