That isn’t really applicable here though. That’s kinda like claiming we should be against Linux because it runs all the web servers. There is a difference between centralization and standardization.

> The dataset is actually ~3x bigger than ImageNet, FWIW.

Oh that is very interesting. Thanks. Do you know anything else about the dataset? I was looking at the link for some quick stats and didn't see them. I'm curious if there are metrics to support or disprove my hypothesis about body features. If so ADA would still help because there isn't an even distribution of the features.
I have resurrected an old side project that once hit the front page of HN and did Ok on Product Hunt.

I burned out because what started as a selfish dog-fooding utility became this vision less beast filled with feature requests from strangers.

The reboot is now tightly scoped to what I want and only what I want. Once done I slap a price on it and call it feature complete.
Some of us believe that the client-server model has led us to the current situation, ruled by internet giants. A future where people are less reliant on giants is within our reach, the biggest hurdle is making it available to the masses.

Hopefully uptake by non-mainstream browsers like Brave will increase the exposure, attract developers, increase the network and get us closer to having IPFS, Hypercore or some other protocol available to the mainstream, whether that be in Firefox or by some other means.

Besides, you could argue that browsers have added plenty of fad technologies over the past few years, DRM comes to mind.
I have worked a satellite with a Baofeng (and Yagi antenna), so at least one works.

I stopped using mine because I don't have a spectrum analyzer and was told by Reddit that they send a lot of power out of band, which isn't something I care to do.

(I have a VHF module in my KX3 that meets my VHF needs. Mostly. Would like even better frequency stability for meteor scatter, WSPR, etc.)
Somehow I doubt that terrorists will be sending QSL cards...

Capitalism is an enormously powerful tool but morality has to be considered as well
This is why China used the GFW to grow Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, WeChat and more that provide more than sufficient infrastructure and delivery, from servers to payment processors, and currently has almost-good-enough alternatives for the silicon down to the foundry level.
> If you expand the definition of terrorism to such an absurd degree (anybody who may need grief counseling) you're diluting actual terrorism.

> The Pulse nightclub is what real terrorism looks like. And the Christchurch shootings. And 9/11.

> The storming of the capitol was not at all similar.

Interesting. What makes 9/11 a terror attack that doesn't similarly make the Capitol Insurrection one? Because they both left a similar imprint on the people, and they were both implemented by groups with extremist ideologies and political objectives in mind.

I note that you tossed the reference to the definition of terrorism and focused on grief counseling. Interesting decision.

This lends some credence to reports that it is Putin who is the richest person in the world.

I've had a UV-5R for four years. Receives fine. The handful of times I've used it to transmit on a local net nobody mentioned vomiting in disgust at its poor transmission characteristics. The original battery even still holds a charge, which I really didn't expect, since it's probably spent 3.9 years sitting on the charger being kept at the float voltage.
> Yeah, I think the people that had the best of this shitty situation are introverted, no child couples with stable remote supporting jobs.

These people are also the most overrepresented on various internet fora.
I agree - there is a sample sentence comprehension - and you have to work hard to understand what the intent of the question is (far harder than actually trying to comprehend the question)

cf

>>> The sentence-processing items require the respondent to assess whether a sentence makes sense in terms of the properties of the real world or the internal logic of the sentence.

Now "a person who is 20 is older than a person who is 30". Does that "make sense"? Is "sense" meaning the statement is true or not?

If we ignore if the statement is true and just go with making sense then the next question

"a comfortable pillow is soft and rocky" also makes sense even if it is wrong - but i suspect that would be makred as not making sense.
No one knows why but it’s often said(with anecdatas) that >50% of creators for these content are biological female.

So girls draw sexualized girls, some men do as well. Some says the high composition of female artists comes from the fact that moe arts are extension of Shoujo Manga market where predominantly female characters are portrayed by predominantly female artists for predominantly younger female audiences.

Whatever the actual reason might be, it’s probably more complicated than “person with polar opposite sexuality of the subject consume porn”.
Do all battery producing companies use child Labour? I highly doubt it. Apple might have had a hard time moving away, but they're Apple - they create billionaires within their supply chain. Foxconn wouldn't be so without Apple, and in turn a ton of Chinese suppliers wouldn't be so without Foxconn.

Yet Apple decided to play the same game as the rest of the mobile phone market, instead of using its heft to make sure suppliers adhered to its high standards.
>doubt it'll even be a topic of conversation in a few years, just like we don't talk about 1983 United States Senate bombing today at all.

Unlike the Senate bombing, the Capitol attack was the coda on four years of the American right wing and Republican Party sliding into fanatical racism-fueled conspiracy theory on behalf of, and encouraged by, the most hated President in American history losing his damn mind about not winning a second term.

I mean, Trump was already going down in history based on his personality, Twitter trolling and all around incompetence even before he purposely undermined and politicized America's COVID response, creating the atmosphere of fear and paranoia that led to armed marches in the streets. And then came the "stop the steal" movement, which had already committed violence prior to an armed insurrection against the government itself.

People will definitely still be talking about this in a few years. People will be writing theses on this. You could argue this isn't "our" 9/11, but only for the relative lack of violence. In terms of the repercussions on America's cultural, social and political landscape, it is, and it isn't leaving the cultural consciousness for a long time.
I think it is the other way around.

FRP goes further than state machines, in that it forbids any side effects.

E.g. you could build a state machine that, when in a certain state and getting a certain event, responds or acts by printing the current time. A classical state machine will thus behave different, depending when it receives the event.
However, in FRP you _must_ either parametrize the event with the current time, or you need to have something _outside_ of the statemachine (such as an effect interpreter) which handles effects such as printing the current time. A classic state machine does not have these restrictions.
Probably better off using a service like https://bunny.net for cdn and storage.
I don't see anything in that post about suppressing speech—can you help me see it? The main bullet points in the article don't seem to have anything to do with suppressing speech (unless that is how you are framing the bullet point which reads: "Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation."
Having traveled to Gelendzhik and Sochi I can attest that it is real.
I fundamentally disagree that placing some limits on speech is necessarily destructive to democracy or implies the removal of power from the people, particularly as the people have the power to elect those that could change such a policy.

Yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre is not protected speech, yet we don't challenge the democratic credentials of a nation that prevents that, nor is such a rule considered beyond the reach of democratic governments to change or alter, it is not an untouchable decree handed down by a group of bien pensants. Nor do we say such things about criminalisation of incitement to violence. Perhaps something in this mode of thinking is more appropriate.

And I'm also going to have to say again - this is not something I'm proposing as a solution. I am not even proposing a solution

I am identifying a failure mode in the sort of absolute free speech idealism that is common and particularly in the "marketplace of ideas" concept. I don't know how to fix it but it is clear that it is a threat to democratic principles in and of itself in the face of mass communications. And I disagree that taking steps to address it would necessarily be undemocratic, depending on what those steps are.

By your A and B premises, Germany is undemocratic, even though their rules on holocaust denial could be democratically removed were there the will to do so.
> The state of the art, for example that site that generates images from sentences is much more impressive to me.

Come on, DALL-E came out like last week - give us a break! That was a major research project contributed to by at least 11 fulltime OpenAI researchers using 400 million images; and this was like 3 hobbyists in a Discord occasionally.
I was looking for a mentor for years and eventually I settle down by mentoring my own self if that making any sense lol.

How I did it? Well, I built this mental model that goes like this:

1. If a task is difficult, simplify it by splitting it to smaller tasks. Sort them in ascending order of ease.
2. Start questioning the "how"s on your smaller tasks and do your research to find multiple solutions, suggestions for improvement, optimizations, potential rewrites before becoming a bottleneck that would demand a major refactoring.
3. See whether you have answered your "how"s from #2 or not. If not, go to #1.
4. Based on #2, find the best material possible other experts in that field suggest or highly recommend; try not to fall in commercial traps or biased reviews. There are lots of valuable resource on such topic, and trust me GitHub has incredible content in markdown format with ultra-advanced levels of explanations.
5. Narrow down your expertise in a specific tool set, be it languages or IDEs / editors of your choice and learn them inside out as much as you can. E.g.: you want to master your craft around web development; fair enough. Learn JavaScript in depth and use the framework your current job demands you to know. Go to #1, then to #4, and then #3.
6. Start writing a blog or an ebook. Guess what; after a certain amount of time, you have just become yourself the mentor you have always wanted.

At least that was my own experience so far ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

It does not mean I'm a success though :D I'm a living failure, that's why I always push myself to become better at what I do.

I'm an eternal student!
Also, in some jurisdictions the car is not considered "stolen" until it has physically moved.

If the engine can move the vehicle just a centimeter before stalling under the load, then the vehicle is stolen for legal purposes and that has effects on reporting to the police, insurance for broken windows or valuables missing, and even crime statistics if the OP is thinking long term. It also might enable the OP to file a complaint with his HOA, who may be responsible for ensuring that the parking lot is better protected.
Are you able to elaborate on the differences between NSW and other states?

Also, when not complying with what was requested you don't appear to consider personal responsibility and just object. Is that a fair interpretation?

NSW are still dealing with an outbreak that started a month ago, whereas Victoria got on top of theirs relatively quickly (2 weeks I think?). There are lots of factors but I think still having masks indoors in public areas and on public transport helped.

That said, I probably agree with you that Victoria's lockdown was a bit too harsh. I live in Melbourne and had to sit through it too, and I broke the curfew, 5km radius and 1 hour exercise rules frequently.

I do wish that the response was consistent across all states. I also am pretty grateful that we've come out of the whole thing as well as we did.

Honest question: what does it mean that Brave supports IPFS in this case? I can load IPFS links on my Firefox just fine.

To me it seems the definition of "child labor" that we're collectively operating under needs clarification. My general assumption has been that "child labor" in the international industrial context was grade school children (5-12 years old or so) working, often in a compulsory manner.

As someone who worked since the age of 14 (part-time) here in the US to help put food on the table, I don't see an issue with 14+ yr olds working. That was in the late 90's, but I can't imagine there aren't 14yr olds working in the US in all manner of jobs today after school and on weekends. The existence of of such jobs here in the US was the difference between food or going hungry for my family. I have to imagine that in less developed parts of the world this version of "child labor" may actually do more to lift those families out of poverty than eliminating them. Unfortunately, as you said, it's hard to discern what the nature and context of this labor truly is.

Let me sketch a way to get the determinant basis-free:

Say we live in an n-dimensional vector space V and have an endomorphism f : V -> V. Now, we consider the pullback [1] f* : Λⁿ(V) -> Λⁿ(V) induced by f on the vector space of n-linear alternating forms Λⁿ(V) on V.

This is just an endomorphism on Λⁿ(V). However, Λⁿ(V) is one-dimensional, hence necessarily invariant under f*. This means f* has an eigenvalue (!). This eigenvalue is what we usually call the determinant of f.

This is completely independent of any choice of basis, orientation, or an inner product.

[1] That is, given an element w ∈ Λⁿ(V) and an arbitrary n-tuple v₁, ..., vₙ of vectors from V, we have (f*w)(v₁, ..., vₙ) = w(f(v₁), ..., f(vₙ))
>However, Musk claims that Tesla designed crash absorption rails that can be cut off and repaired to preserve the packs.

Crash repairs are one thing, but what about complete replacement of the battery pack? if it's a major structural part of the car, are replacements even possible? and even if they are, would it be financially viable to do so?

I know someone with a ~10 year old Toyota Prius who had to have the battery packs replaced and it cost them a few thousand in parts and labour, but that was designed to be fairly easily replaced (and the battery packs are a fairly small part of the car compared to those of an EV). If the batteries are non replaceable you've essentially made a disposable car with a 10-year working life. By comparison, my current ICE car is ~12 years old and less than 1/5th through the useful life of the engine. This is quite possibly one of the most decadent and completely wasteful things I've ever seen.

I was listening to a talk a while ago by one of the founders of Cirque du Soleil, and he said they ran into a problem in (iirc - this was a while ago) a European country where they were told they had to stop performing one off their acts, because the performers were too young and so were considered child workers.

As you point out, we seem to be OK with child actors and child paper routes and child you tubers, for some reason.

I think I only started feeling burned out in the past few months, despite doing a masters degree in parallel with full time work as a software engineer for the past 3 years. Now that I'm supposed to be working on my thesis in my "free time" when there's little diversity in the proper free time, it's been weighing on me. I can barely focus, the hours when I'm doing my job are actually the most pleasant because I don't have to worry about the pressure from the project. Lots of problems going to sleep as well because I keep worrying I'll fail the masters.

While there's no proper pain involved (maybe a bit of anxiety from time to time), my productivity has taken a huge dip and it's really frustrating.

If China's system is really "open source" then this is really dumb. Basically, they give out any innovations they create, while shielding themselves from any external innovation.

I don't see how this could possible benefit them over any measurable amount of time. Sure, they can do private repos for sensitive stuff, but the benefit of an open system like github is not in the closed off stuff... it is in the openness and propensity to inspire collaboration. Without the openness, they will only fall behind from the second they enable their one way information shield.
This is why you report stolen guns ASAP.
It's not the effect you're talking about, but it reminded me of a study that found that the value of Lojack (an early GPS-enabled car theft tracker) decreased car theft for everyone in cities where it became prevalent, since would-be car thieves were reluctant to steal any car knowing that it might have a tracker.

I think another good question is: What percentage of raw materials does Intel import from China? For Intel chips made in the U.S., how much of the resources used to make the chips are extracted with US-based labor (since that's generally the most acceptable standard for ensuring slavery isn't used during production)?

the last time the west only managed to "win" the moon race because it was competing against financially poor and poorly managed soviet state(all key brains behind soviet space program were released from gulag just to work on it and knew that if they will not please their masters they will go back to gulag and die. the greatest motivation of all time)

china now is a lot more sane people that don't mess with politics/publicity enjoy comparable levels of freedoms to the west(In a lot of cases more economic freedom but in all cases no political freedoms) which makes them much more likely to succeed competing against corrupt west as it is now

Solution is this:

Assign UUID to each async call, including retries.

Or disallow retries.

Sprinkle in some optimistic update if you want.

Keep track of results, mirror lower level timeout (75 seconds for HTTP).
The thing about radios isn't true. You can remove them easily, but they are usually locked in software to that vehicle so can't easily be reused. That doesn't mean they can't...

Last year someone broke into the underground parking of my apartment building and stole the radios from a couple of new BMWs. No way was that just a random smash and grab, as to get in you need to go through the car elevator or unlock two doors (with plenty of cameras that turned out to be useless).

You wouldn't do that unless you already had a plan for reselling them.
Many people weld a cage around the cats, or across them. Of course, the cage can be cut just like the cat, but it makes a 3 minute job turn into a 10 minute job, which may be riskier for the thief.
Yeah. One time it was an older lady with her daughter. They stayed with me 3 days until they managed to sort something out with social services. I think they're in San Diego now.

They had a dog along who crapped in my living room, and they ended up cleaning my house top to bottom as an apology.

Just because someone's homeless it doesn't mean they're on drugs or stuff like that!
The conclusion doesn't follow from the premise. They take the banning of Trump and conclude that there needs to be transparency in advertising? I mean, I agree, but it's certainly a weird article.
