Thanks for the mention:

Like Pranav said we think the space is good to have multiple players and we've had many friendly conversations where we have traded notes.

I think our vision is very similar in terms that we eventually want to focus on omni channel customer communication.

A few things that Chatwoot has that we don't at the moment are:

1. Omni channel through messenger and Twillio integration

2. A Mobile app to chat with your customers

3. Shared inbox for teams - for team management

What we have that differentiates us from Chatwoot:

1. We have a Reply from Slack + Reply from Mattermost integration where you never have to leave your workspaces (We believe your tools should conform to where you work and not force you to use a different tool)

2. Highly customizable [chat widget](https://github.com/papercups-io/chat-builder) with react and flutter components

3. We have a live screen sharing feature that lets you debug issues with your customers through the browser

Our goal is to build out omni channel communications too but at the moment we want to make our chat widget experience amazing and we believe that your chat widget should look like your website and not an ad for your tool.

*Note we do have apis and webhooks that you can integrate with dialogue flow and Rasa
Interstingly I found a similar career path in many scientists. Some of them are getting completely out of touch (you never see them in a lab, they don't learn new techniques, they rigidly defend things they learned before but that is obsolete) and just presenting their students/postdocs works and editing papers.

> qrxfil: file exfiltration across airgaps using QR codes.

I'm a little confused about the scenario here, how are you getting qrxfil onto the airgapped system, and why doesn't that method allow data egress?

For example, using ultrasonic audio as a channel allows you (once installed on the target system via a usb device) to invisibly exfil files to devices with no line of sight to the airgapped system.

Another method can steganographicly encode files into benign-seeming printed documents.

Everyone was afraid that someone was watching them, but they are missing the fact that it's is difficult to watch everyone. Even with algorithms, I don't think it's possible.

Essentially, I believe the three letter agencies are pattern oriented when it comes to tracking.
I'm curious about something: would there be any hidden gotchas involved if someone forked the Mattermost repo, and added features like that? I understand not wanting to spend the effort on implementing and maintaining these changes, I'm just trying to figure out if there's any other reason for not doing it. From what I can see, the license is APL 2.0, which I think shouldn't forbid that, but IANAL (or expert on working in open source).
so basically, base rate fallacy strikes agan.
It's amusing to read this comment in response to one that calls out Boston 3 times.
A good experiment (which I cannot do): take a true photo of somebody, reduce it in size and then “super-resolve” it. How much must you reduce in order to produce a different “person” (or a non-person).
He's definitely the most prolific 3D artist, ever. Nobody else even comes close.

As for being "the best" or "the biggest" or "the most popular", these terms don't make sense even in non-digital art. Indeed, he is not any of these things, but neither was Andy Warhol.

It's not a coincidence that he, of all people, managed to sell 69 million dollars worth of cookie-cutter crap. That's what makes him the Andy Warhol of digital art. That's how he earned his place in art history.

As for the "enormous number" of other 3D artists, most of them are busy creating escapist stuff that will never get the attention of the art scene. To that end, skill just doesn't matter.
Cool. As an aspiring podcast host this is exactly what I am looking for.

Unfortunately the license isn't very well explained, I can't seem to figure out if I can run ads in my podcast at all if I use your tracks, or what you mean by "shared on an open distribution platform" - does Anchor count?

Finally the way I read it, if the organization behind it grew to more than 10 people I would lose the license to the music and have to go through all my old content and remove it. That would be a gigantic pain in the rear and a concern for youtubers (since my podcast would be a hobby project I don't really care).

Again I love what you guys are doing, but you need to simplify the license - otherwise you are taking the pain out of finding music, only to add it back in when I have to consider the license.

For an example of what is useful and not painful, have a look at storyblocks.
Exactly what I was thinking. So you have yaml file that makes it easy to deploy your blog with k8s and you don't understand why people would tell you that's silly. Meanwhile you're spending $50+/month for something you could run on a $2.50/month VM from digital ocean or vultr. And oh by the way, there aren't a dozen moving parts that you don't fully understand that could create security vulnerabilities if misconfigured.

Ah thanks! These are really cool. Nice work.
That's boring, and the current top players are looking to have some fun. Chess has become something of a spectator sport on twitch.tv over the past year, and both the players in this article have been at the forefront of that movement. Every time someone trots out a bongcloud, chat goes absolutely bonkers. Using it in an actual tournament only elevates it further.
> You talk as if everyone using it experiences bugs very frequently…

I said that it crashed “when I used it”. I thought that was enough to make it explicit that I was talking about my own experiences—but I don’t think that should be necessary.

Just like when you talk about how Audacity doesn’t crash when you use it, I know you’re talking about your experiences, and not anyone else’s.

> Because it sounds like you are trying to speak on behalf of every user.

That interpretation is incorrect.

> Maybe it's hard for you to believe I used it for years and never had one problem. It does seem like you can't really hear what I'm saying.

What you said is that my criticisms didn’t seem “fair”. I do a lot of software development—it’s my job—and when a piece of software I write works for user X and crashes for user Y, my conclusion is usually “my software is buggy”. If user Y complains that my software is buggy, I would consider their complaints completely valid and want to fix it—and it looks like the Audacity team has made some great strides fixing bugs that don’t affect everyone equally—which is a very typical experience when fixing bugs.

To quote the release notes for version 3.0, “Some [bugs] though were really juicy high priority bugs that would have mattered a lot to the people affected by them.” It sounds like the Audacity team, at the very least, were aware that some users had very negative experiences with the software and I’m glad that they’re making stability a priority.
This is really cool. The whole experience is slick!

One thing I noticed is that some colors appear brighter, but are further down on the Saturation scale. For example, mediumturquoise and turquoise are shown as being less saturated than cyan, though cyan doesn't mix in any gray. Are these sorted by the sums of their RGB values? I'm also not too well versed in color theory, so I could be missing or misunderstanding something too.
Hello again HN! 12 months ago I told you LitiHolo (I’m the founder) was working to create a 3D Hologram Printer, and asked for your input. Well, we built it!

I've been involved with hologram printers all the way back to my grad school days (MIT Media Lab), and have built custom industrial versions for in-house commercial hologram work. But more recently LitiHolo has been focused on simple educational holograms kits. With this 3D Hologram Printer, we are kind of bringing the two together -- a simple hologram printer that makes the technology more affordable and accessible.

These are true laser-recorded holograms, and we are starting small and simple to get things off the ground (think Makerbot for holograms). Would love your feedback on how we can continue to make hologram technology like this more accessible, as well as ideas for possible killer apps and use cases.

Here's our previous HN post from 12 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22616010

And full disclosure: we have launched a Kickstarter project for this, but would appreciate your input whether you back the project or not.

I was totally with you up until the suggestion for red street lights. Besides the fact that it would make me feel like I was living in a horror film, I have a camping head torch with red and white lights (actually I've owned several over the years, from pricey to cheap) and the red light setting is close to useless. The only time I use it is if I wake up to step out of the tent and pee (it's great for not blinding me and waking me up) - but for actually doing anything it just doesn't provide enough light to see. Factor in that a big reason for street lighting is safety, and I don't think red lights will cut it, sadly, in spite of your valid points. Yellow lighting seems to be the happy median.
Kubernetes is... fun. It's fun by making things that used to require hundreds of hours to figure out, only require dozens. This can give superpowers to the right kind of engineer. I spent a bunch of time hand-rolling my own cluster with it's own Wireguard network, on personal hardware, with one node in the cloud because I thought I needed one.

What's neat about it is, you generally solve one problem, and once it's solved, it stays solved. Your solution is in a yaml file somewhere or in a command line option that you've persisted to a script or whatever. And everything accumulates! If you manage to get a storage cluster installed, boom, all of a sudden you have a ton of options available to you.

Once the cluster is stable and you are comfortable bringing it up and tearing it down so that everything's working right, you can start pulling parts of the k8s infrastructure in, need a DNS server? Run it on your cluster! K8s wants a docker container registry, you really don't want to run that on your cluster in the beginning, but once your cluster's secure, why not! K8s starts eating everything in your life like the effing Borg and it's great!

If you're the kinda cat that will spend 80 hours on a Factorio world, then dive into the mods and make the tweaks you really wish the authors would make, and you have enough admin experience to do general troubleshooting of complex systems, I can't recommend Kubernetes enough for the sheer fun factor.

The downside if you want to do anything serious with it is, actually the same as running your own infrastructure always is and was, network connectivity. Hardware is cheap. Last mile network connectivity, isn't. The solution to that, is, of course, colocation.

Often in tournament chess you cannot offer a draw for the first 10 moves. However a 3-fold repetition is automatically a draw.

The idea is to try and provoke games happening, even if the players come to the table wanting a draw (someone can still botch their opening!). Ultimately though, if GMs want a draw, they'll get it.
Rust is designed to be built from source, and the development toolchain is light enough to keep on a VPS if that's your bag. If you have Cargo installed, compiling and installing from source is easier than using NPM.

Uh, Fibonacci is not embarrassingly parallel. That term has a precise technical meaning; it is that the parallel processes have no dependencies and require no communication.

Fibonacci computations depend upon prior results, which is why it is a poor fit for parallelization in general. While, yes, it is possible to fork on every recurrence and join to wait for the result, the overhead of that is gigantic and dwarfs any benefits.

I think it is a bit of a plausible deniability thing. Offering a draw after the first move looks bad. There may even be rules against offering a draw before the first X moves. It also takes prolonged confirmation to agree to a draw via repetition.

Yet another solution looking for a problem to solve. We don't need better tires. We have them. They're called 'pneumatic' and in the late 1800's they were a significant advancement in technology. They provide a great ride, great traction, and are straightforward to repair. I seriously doubt whether "Smart METL" airless tires meet those same marks.

This is a really good point. You can have at it all but you can definitely wish ;)
Yeah, although technically the goal behind things like 'super resolution' is to add data that is not there anymore but probably was there before.

i.e. you had the original scene that was captured by a digital camera (a lossy operation) and then saved as an image file (often also a lossy operation), and then a tool like this makes an educated guess as to what information was lost in the 1st and 2nd steps.

That doesn't make me want to work at GS. I know people will discuss how well it pays but for 100 hours a week I would have to make nearly 7 figures to be comparable to my current job. I make low 6 figures, the actual amount I work per week is well under 20 hours, the rest is wasted in meetings and responding to the never ending deluge of drivel that is slack. I can't imagine spending 100 hours a week working.

I had the same concern. There's also the matter of supporting upstream development, which the maintainer does address in his readme. I ended up paying for a premium subscription of vanilla Bitwarden, which I self host. Sure it's overkill on resources and number of containers, but it's still insignificant. It seems slightly more safe to trust a company that depends on the software for revenue, if I'm going to use it without auditing the source. I've also e-mailed their support quite a few times, and they're great. It just doesn't feel right to me to do that while using a free custom backend to avoid the cost...
Not much, actually. Dual actuators only improve parallelism, not media transfer rate or latency. In practice, dual actuators don't even double external transfer rates due to occasional latency (which is unavoidable even for the best-case scenarios) and internal contention elsewhere in the drive. Even if you had four actuators working perfectly in concert, and weren't bottlenecked on the external interface speed (which you would be), a 4x improvement in transfer rate vs. a 8x increase in capacity would still mean a 2x increase in fill/empty time.

As with the shift from 5.25" to 3.5" to 2.5" and even 1.8" drives, the only way out of this bind is really to take advantage of the improved areal density to make drives that are the same capacity but smaller and pack more of those into the same volume or power/heat envelope. Drive manufacturers could help this along a little bit e.g. by sharing a motor and some environmental bits between what are otherwise completely separate drives (including separate external interfaces) within a single package, but mostly we'd all better get used to higher drive counts. Dual actuators - and this is far from the first time they've been tried BTW - are mostly a red herring.

Background: I worked on exactly these problems for the latter half of a thirty-year career, most relevantly at my last job working on an exabyte-scale storage system at a FAANG.
> I raise this as a general point: I've never seen any good resources to help people estimate full environmental impact of disposable vs. reusable things, accounting both the difference of {emissions, energy, water, plastics} used in manufacturing of disposable vs. reusable item, and then the difference of those in ongoing maintenance.

It's a very good point. This kind of stuff is impossible for the lay person to estimate.

I'd be interested to see at what scale parallel evaluation in Clio beats serial evaluation that has been compiled to native machine code with basic compiler optimizations, for scientific computing (say, solving nonlinear differential equations).

My guess is it's enormous, but I could be wrong since contemporary JS engines do quite well with numeric computing.

But there's a wealth of scientific computing that can't be magically made to be parallel and the parallel equivalents are often slower due to duplicated arithmetic and overhead in setting up the computation (recursive computations are particularly bad about this) - finding a parallel evaluation strategy that is actually faster is nontrivial.

It's really not a safe assumption that parallel = faster.
Thanks, I'm glad! :)

I think there's a misunderstanding there. Mediumturquoise and turquoise are both located above cyan, which means they are brighter as the vertical axis is the lightness.

Also, to answer your question, colors are sorted by their hue, saturation and lightness values. So, it's actually a 3D color visualizer, where one dimension (hue) is reduced into just a slider at the top, and the other two dimensions are represented in a 2D grid.

Thanks for your comment!
