CRTs have some really nice characteristics with moving content. If you're using an LCD or OLED display now, if you quick scroll or drag a window around you'll see you can't read the text while it's moving. CRTs are different though, they strobe in a way that means motion is always clear.

While film lets you hide these artifacts with clever tracking and angles, it's very obvious with interactive video games. There are tricks to fix this, but consumer display tech is quite inconsistent.
Becoming increasingly common though.
What happens when someone's account gets removed, but they were in the middle of an auction? I'm sure they at least stir up a fuss.
I try hard to avoid this topic on HN but the 1st argument is:

> 1. The logic problem: no genocide in history has ever occurred amidst rising population, life expectancy, and income of those supposedly victimized

> the average annual population growth (of Uyghurs) is 1.94%, which is considered extremely rapid, and is close to the peak numbers for population growth globally, seen in the late 1960s

Interested why you see this as a bad leading argument against using the phrase "genocide"?

Also you say:

> The much stronger argument is that Zenz is a crazed religious propagandist.

Zenz's motivations or religious leaning is irrelevant, if you cant argue with the research papers he puts out then it only makes one side look bad here. Most of his work is pure OSINT stuff from Chinese local government websites.
Scamemrs hitting Elon's Twitter hard today
Spammers hitting Elon musk Twitter hard, tons of $ stolen

No verified accounts used, only regular ones. It would seem the scammers have access to thousands of these accounts, and twitter is unable to do anything to stop these scammers from breaking into the accounts day after day. Imagine having access to hundreds or even thousands of twitter accounts everyday and using them for anything at will, whether for spam or propaganda.

I think the situation is pretty bleak. Twitter can try to stop verified accounts from being exploited, but regular ones is far harder because there are so many of them. Facebook does not seem to have this problem, or maybe it does and I am not aware of it.

Unlike php, scammers never sleep.

These people are making so much $ it's insane. Even drug rings cannot make this much.

Endless spigot of victims and $. You would think 3 years later and thousands of victims, millions $, and tons of media, articles, and other coverage that the well would run dry, but nope. I think the main issue is that the scam is so damn profitable, which explains its persistence. If this were any other niche, instead of making 400k/day it would be maybe $40-400. Diet, fitness, anything else is total crud compared to stealing crypto.
I feel like it's fairly well-established that these text-only models cannot not have the capability of common sense reasoning because they don't incorporate sensorimotor/spatial/temporal/etc. knowledge. They can't because they are not trained with any of that, just text.
Js doesn't really care about types, and doesn't seem to convert a string "true" into a boolean true:

Sadly, this article does not really help you understand what electricity is. But I guess if you already know what it is in a wrong way you can read it and get some sort of negative feedback and, perhaps, get some epiphany about what it really is (or, isn't).

I was hoping for something to an article helping you understand. A list of things is it not helps, but only somewhat.

Not Ruby, but Rails.

And there, it is handled by a clear and dedicated layer: ActiveModel::Type::Boolean.new.cast(value)

The only thing you can complain about is that Rails loves implicit magic, which will call this layer for you. Without you needing to set it up, or call it yourself. Many people love this about Rails. (I prefer explicitness over magic.)
I've not encountered this format before, it looks really interesting, certainly much more human friendly than JSON. Thanks for sharing.
It's just akin to a recognized by the owner and others deed of ownership over an asset.

And this gets bought by the same people that might buy an autograph or memorabilia that would be about equally useless without the story around it and others valuing it too.
I would like to see something like this but for media licenses.

It would be nice to be able to keep an offline NFT library (of, for example, music) where the tokens can be presented (with authentication) to streaming services like amazon or spotify in order to download a DRM-free copy of whatever media the NFT proves I own license to hold.
I really wish the reports on hacks could treat attribution more seriously. Everytime a hack like this occurs it gets blamed on 'the Chinese', or 'the Russian', or 'the Iranians', without every showing any evidence to prove this. Attribution on the Internet is hard, like really hard. I want proof.

And if you don't have proof, or can't show me the proof, then don't just blame Americas enemies. It's sloppy and dangerous.

Like most platforms, when you tweet, you own the copyright but license it nonexclusively to Twitter.

Twitter cannot stop you from selling your tweets because you are the copyright holder.

Some things I like:

* Frequent feedback from stakeholders and customers

* Retrospectives

* Standups

These can be annoying but they help make sure that the right thing is developed.

Things I don't like:

* Things get rushed to get them done before the sprint ends (even if there is no deadline pressure)

* On the other hand, everything takes at least two weeks to get done

I feel that this turns the output of a very high-performing developer into that of a mediocre developer. I'm not a 10x developer, so I can cope. ;)

Things I don't like but don't blame on Scrum:

* Jira

* Storypoints

* Estimating: All estimates beyond the current sprint are completely unreliable. Still, people use storypoints to derive release dates and worse, measure the productivity of employees using them.

FWIW, until I learn of better processes, I prefer Scrum without "buts" and with continuous deployment.
I mayve read the presentation wrong but it says 3s/iteration on the MHE. That’s insane. I’ve run close to real time UKF for nav and control applications so it’s an apples vs oranges comparison.

We should standardize the GDPR “pop up” by putting it inside the browser settings, and send a HTTP header that reflects user choice.

I see no difference between websites adhering to a HTTP header versus what the visitor chooses in the website’s custom pop up.

To start with, we should add to the GDPR regulations that a “Do Not Track” HTTP header requires the website to not display the pop up and interpret it as the visitor allowing only “strictly necessary cookies for website to functionality”.

I am firmly of the opinion that industry should fund public education in their respective sectors. If every talented person gets best and practical-focused education possible, that's a plus for the industry. Commoditization of high quality education makes sense to them.
Where was that claim made (for pulseaudio vs Android)?

Hearing any claim that pulseaudio uses less cpu than some alternative makes me blink. For years I could not use pulseaudio while playing games, because it would eat 99% cpu and I only had one cpu core. Things are better now that I have eight cores, but I don't know if that's due to the extra cores or if pulseaudio has improved.

I tried jackd, but the documentation is overwhelming.

I remember ESD and OSS working just fine, but I was young and maybe I was just happy to get audio at all. I grew up with blips and bleeps coming out of the PC speaker.
Thats also untrue of osx, spotlight indexing, cron jobs, etc.
Visual Studio has been pretty modern, specially when compared against traditional UNIX offerings.

Anyone measuring typing speed as productivity measurement is doing it wrong.

Writing code is around 50% of daily activities.

Visual Assist doesn't do nothing when I have to write documentation, architecture diagrams, meetings to decide roadmap items, demos at customer review meetings,....

On top of that, none of the OS SDK replacements offer better UI or debugging capabilities across the platform tooling, they just play "catch-me if you can" with what I can get on day 0 of each OS SDK release.

There is obviously a difference between:

- There are many passive systems that work in concert to prevent the fission material from having a runaway chain reaction that continues on its own,

and

- It is literally impossible within our understanding of physics for the reaction to continue without the continued application of power to the reaction chamber.

No matter how 'safe' the former gets, it's just asymptotically approaching the latter. There will always be more assumptions and caveats involved in preventing a self-sustaining reaction from continuing.

In particular, re. that article, a lot seems to be resting on the sodium cooling pool being present while there's something else going wrong. So what if an earthquake breaks it open and dumps it out. Or a bomb.
This is a key issue I see with bugbounty programs.

They tend to react with "either you can show us that this is a real danger or we'll ignore it".

It seems pretty clear that this bug shows something is terribly wrong and probably dangerous. But the reporter might have limits in analyzing the bug, while the company could easily figure out what's going on and fix it.

Article focuses on US, but this is global.

> “It’s massive. Absolutely massive,” one former national security official with knowledge of the investigation told WIRED. “We’re talking thousands of servers compromised per

First off, enable showdead to see the shadowbanned users. I vouch for their posts sometimes, because sometimes they're good posts. But a great deal of them aren't really here to be a part of the conversation. It's not censorship, it's curation, and I think HN is better for it. Want trolls? Hit up 4chan or something.
I've only recently had the financial capacity to purchase games. However, I find that I've lost my appetite in playing them. I wonder with so many games at my fingertips I'm unable to find the motivation to play them like I used to. I'm baffled that I'd rather read about bash scripting.

Thanks for mentioning Hades, based on the steam reviews and gameplay trailer, it looks promising.
Advantages of NFTs:

• Auctionable and sellable on the blockchain without any AML or KYC

• Creates a paper trail that posits as a legitimate way to have accumulated wealth to the taxman and government

• Round-trip costs of <2% as compared to traditional money laundering systems which can be an order of magnitude more expensive.

• Plausible denialability as art.

Basically, NFTs are a great way to launder money.

Launders will likely also do some unrelated party transactions to counter anomaly detection, so even if you don't want to launder money, buying NFTs can give you the ability to capture some money laundering premium.

You may find this description morally wrong, but don't doubt the ability for NFTs to grow in value. Money laundering is big money.
Love this article. I wonder if this is a brain-type thing. It really rings true for me.

Developing the idea, I have a similar multiple definitions problem, in a much smaller context, with the word “prescription”.

In the UK it means all of: a doctor’s idea of what medicine to give to a patient, a piece of paper with that written on it, and the medicine itself.

I got thoroughly confused when I went to collect a prescription from a pharmacy and was told “it’s (still) over at the surgery”. It wasn’t, or rather, it was. But we were talking about different prescriptions.

Anyone else have these (pedantic?) confusions?

Agreed. Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell and John Rhys-Davies did a fantastic job in WC III. Makes total sense to go with "real" cutscenes if you can get actors of that caliber on board.
In P-type semiconductors, a small amount of impurity/doping produces "holes": http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Solids/dope.html#...

Free electrons can temporarily occupy holes, then dislodge themselves and move on to the next place. But it will look like as if the holes are moving from one place to another.
Are you saying there is still a use case for going straight to ALSA without something in the middle?
Thanks. Yep, a pure GPU approach is probably the way to go for this stuff in general. One reason I used FFmpeg here was the goal of applying the effect to stand-alone videos/images, which you can't conveniently/easily do with shaders (AFAIK).

The other reason is that my shader coding experience is pretty much zero, something I should fix at some point. ;) But if someone more knowledgeable gets inspired by this in the meantime and cooks something up, that'd be cool for sure.
No idea why this has been down voted, I think there’s a lot of truth in it. That said I don’t agree with the conclusion ;) I think there _was_ a more interesting an varied texture to the web back in the day. A feeling of experimentation and a freedom from the pressure to produce something “professional”. It feels like the rules of the medium are much more rigid now and to break them you must choose to do so deliberately rather than just kind of having to because of the lack of existing convention.
Things could be so simple if politicians had made the law more concrete or if it would be enforced.

Because some websites do comply and have a reject all button on the first pop up.
I know this us the law, but it should be... you know literally the law.

Why is the law not enforced for the online marketing industry? After all, you will scarcely find an industry so full of criminals as this one!
Took an algorithms related course. Video lectures are there. But practice using Quiz & auto grader for evaluating programs was pretty good. IIRC there will be transcripts but check with the particular course.
How do you fund that game prototype?
That's a very good question. I think that dialog in filesharing/linking court cases has moved from "link vs torrent vs file" issue to "does this site/person make possible bypassing copyright protection, and, if so, to what extent?" issue.

Part of the torrent community still holds to the old (and comfortable, I must say) idea, that files and links (no matter in which form, http or magnet) are something fundamentally different. Files can be illegal, links cannot. Links are just text, infohashes are just numbers and so on.

The reality, as I see it, is different:

1. If something makes bypassing copyright protection as easy as making 2 mouse clicks and waiting a few minutes - that "something" is illegal, the person which operates it also commits a crime. Indirectly, by facilitation (=providing aid), but still.

2. Even if the law in this area is too old or too general to specifically mention such cases - the court practice is still little by little moving in that direction (=files and links doesn't matter, those are technical details; bypassing copyright - does matter)
I love these articles and posted a link to them on a HN article a few weeks ago in response to a statement about the power company producing electrons.
Is this somehow related to cold fusion?
I'm impressed with the results from your lo-tech batch file approach. The output is really quite nice.

It turns out that real CRTs also have a number of user-adjustable parameters, which of course makes it impossible to define any sort of "canonical" or most-accurate preset. :)

(Like this weird paper-white monochrome CRT that uses P7 phosphor, designed for 350-line MDA but can also handle a greyscale 15.7khz 200-line CGA input... the scanlines are so sharp that it looks 100% fake!)

This article is pretty good. A short summary is that electricity is like a sound wave propagating thru a sea of electrons or protons or something charged.

This is however the tip of the iceberg. The real mystery is how those electrons and protons feel each other. They don't bump into each other like atoms in the air, they interact via magnetic field - a mysterious medium that magically appears around charged particles and alters their trajectories. It's the same magnetic field that surrounds bar magnets. Rumors are magnetic field is made of photons, but nobody has been able to see or catch those photons, so they have been renamed into virtual photons. Those special photons don't really exist, but still interact with charges.

As newer generations are increasingly living their lives in a digital world, is it that surprising that people will want to display wealth by acquiring native digital assets? If you had to predict what the youth of the year 2200 will be into, various forms of collectible digital tokens seems super reasonable.

The problem is knowing which ones.
It is about the feedback-response loop. If I type a character and it doesn't appear (what feels) instantaneous I start to feel physically sick. I have build up some tolerance but I think when I tried Julia with Atom three years ago, I gave up after 15 minutes (atom too much latency if I remember correctly and Julia as well)

I think you forgot the API endpoints that will tell you how few items are left in stock and how many other users that are looking at this item right now. Not all stores would be sophisticated enough to implement such endpoint though but luckily it is easy to approximate in your client using stock=Random.nextInt(1,2) and users=Random.nextInt(50, 2000).

That's a heck of a question to expect an AI to answer. It's weird (we almost never discuss half animals), oddly phrased ("on the moon" is much more standard), and runs afoul of an imprecision in English (we normally given masses when asked about weight, this requires an answer in force, or else by analogy a mass with equivalent Earth-weight).

That would be true if said intelligent people were optimizing exclusively for the metric you're looking at right now. In reality they usually are not, as they are themselves stuck in a system where their incentives are to optimize for things other than their supposed mission statement.
