Nice ! This points me back to the my favorite mental model of machine learning/nn. It’s always about shuffling in an out of a number of dimensions and the mappings between them.

It would be interesting to assemble frames from a movie, say at scene changes, etc. and have this thing "narrate" a movie. It would be similar in concept (though not in content) to how narration for the visually impaired is offered as a form of assisted media viewing.

In fact, you could probably train it with existing visual descriptions from movies.
I agree the line is fuzzy between enabling a hardware feature built into the car and purchasing a software product but I think this case falls squarely into the first category.

Automatic braking actually is going to be required on all new cars soon, so yes I take issue with charging extra for a feature like that when the hardware is built in.

Maybe a decade ago when the hardware was more expensive and less common it would be totally reasonable to charge to have it added to the car, but I take issue with charging for software enables for hardware that you own.

If the software really does change the product (like theoretically an update enabling self driving), that might be different but I think this case is clear.
Surplus Absorption and Waste in Neoliberal Monopoly Capitalism (2016)

This makes Amazon look terrible but you do have to wonder about a world where politicians that control the most powerful government in the world are incentivized to play petty gotcha games on Twitter with their supporters cheering on, while we expect private corporations to be the adult in the room. The main reason why this makes Amazon look bad while politicians who do this (not taking sides here, this is clearly a bipartisan thing) get a pass is that our expectations for politicians are now so low that we don't expect anything but petty grandstanding and finger-pointing, while we expect Amazon to rise above partisan criticism.
>Kanji (at least the first 3-4000), counters, word-level pitch accent, etc are all totally learnable and I wouldn't consider them "advanced" topics.

For reference, the Kanji Kentei test[1] has 12 levels.

> Level 2 is as high as many Japanese, even those with higher education degrees, tend to go. Passing level 2 can be used as leverage when applying for jobs, etc. Passing levels pre-1 and 1 is especially rare even among native speakers.

Level 2 has 2136 daily use kanji. Pre-level 1 has 2965 kanji, Level 1 (the highest) has 6355.

Learning 3000 kanji is definitely "advanced".

I tried it putting it in my backyard... that puts things into perspective for sure.
Maybe depends on the variety? Used to eat pears straight from the tree as a kid and they were sweet enough.
Those are indeed 4 layers, but, as the author points out, those don’t map onto the bottom 4 layers of OSI cleanly.
I think you’re making a slippery slope argument here where none exists. The damage Chevron did In Ecuador was exceptional. It was not run of the mill stuff but really gross pollution of the natural world. If you’ve not learned about this case I suggest reading up on it. It’s worthwhile to understand what corporations are getting away with out there.

Of course! It's the way users can alert us to issues and provide feedback. That's why I feel stuck in the middle -- overwhelmed from the incoming issues and unable to move the needle by myself or with whatever support were allocated from corporate.

My experience is clearly different from the author's, who seems to have complaints about solo project maintenance. I just wanted to share my perspective.

Yes in some respects, but correct definition is also important.
Show HN: Free Client-Side Reverse Geocoding with IP Geolocation Fall Back
That's neat. Just curious - how do you decide - what links fall under the what categories?
Open-source projects allow you to get feedback and hopefully contributions to a code base. You need to like open-source and have other people want to contribute to your project.

If you don't want to do that, you most likely need to pay consultants to review the code.
That’s not true. If we could even just scale back global consumption of resources to 1960 levels, we’d be able to have a sustainable global civilization with enough of a buffer that we wouldn’t have to impose a hard cap on individual consumers. Instead, capitalism depends on constant growth to sustain itself, otherwise share prices won’t go up, which leads to all sorts of things that the capital class considers bad.

Edit: Oh, I see we'd rather just make this argument go away rather than address it, still. This is why we can't have nice things, y'all.
I want to see Collabora Office integrated as a Google Workspace app. I understand that others want to host their own servers, but I want the longevity of ODF combined with the convenience of a hosted environment like Workspace. I would think that governments that mandate ODF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_adoption) would want the convenience of an online version of LibreOffice combined with a native desktop application suite.
I believe that some attempts have been tried, at least in the general area of what you are proposing. Far as I can tell they have all been labeled conspiracy theorists, alt-right white supremacist fake news nazis, left wing radical SJW eco-fascists, or some other combination of epithets and denigration. And all it takes is for one of those labels to be plausible for a single article or contributor before some aspect. of the internet hive mind (incapable of forgiveness, nuance, or contextual interpretation) latches on and never lets go.
How exactly does sexism being a spectrum and not binary help men make decisions on this issue in any way whatsoever?

Do you think a slight or partial interpretation of sexism (even if misconstrued completely and therefore a false interpretation) will be treated with this nuance and proportionality you speak of by someone who wishes to publicize and cancel as described in this article?

The entire point here is that whether 9/10, or 999/1000 interactions with women go exactly or even better than interactions with men, it ONLY TAKES ONE to literally ruin your life. Get it?

Because of this, the natural defensive reaction is to avoid interactions and conflicts altogether, out of abundance of caution.

Is this sexism? Who the hell cares! Peoples livelihoods are on the line! That you would care more about your little intellectual exercises and nuanced view of the "isms" means absolutely nothing compared to putting bread on the table, or not, for most people.

One could even say this makes you privileged to even think they should care about this more than protecting themselves and supporting their families.
Agreed. To take it further, the OS APIs suck for protocol selection too. And router technologies. And basically everything.

E.g. in theory your router should work with level 3 and below. This includes the firewall. However, try to implement a new Level 4 protocol and all of a sudden your packets won't route.

This was the whole point of this separation - that while UDP and TCP are useful in general cases, there are much better and novel ways to frame packets for e.g. cust infrastructure with different properties and different requirements.

But it simply doesn't work.

This stuff has driven me nuts for decades. OSI has rarely been helpful aside from just general communication of ideas. It shouldn't be used as any authoritative reference, ESPECIALLY not in classrooms.
justinclift is right. The goal is to try to escape from a circle which is still a circle in 3D space. A 2D being may not be aware of the third dimension and might think it's impossible to escape it. Yet it is possible if they find a way to travel in the third dimension.

This is just an analogy anyway. My main point is, or what I hope science can figure out is whether the speed of light is a true limitation of reality or just a limitation of our own perception/understanding
It’s weird that in the post-9/11 years everyone seemed to talk about how the USA waged wars for oil and how oil is what props up USD, but now two decades later there “must be a deeper reason” why nuclear didn’t get to succeed on its own merits.

Ask HN: How to (partially) automate repetitive emails?
Hi HN, I write a lot of the same emails over and over again (macOS and iOS). What are your tips to automate or speed up this process? On one hand, I want my emails to have my personalized writing style but on the other want to automate as much as I can. My best solution so far is a shortcut (Shortcuts app) where I select the greeting, opening line etc., but one can imagine this gets repetitive after a while. Any way to mix and randomize things up a bit?

There's less money in developer tools than in selling to the general public.

I've seen some wonderful products, but it seems to be at odds with reasonable pricing because of the limited number of sales available.

I've seen some really interesting tools though. I remember trying purify once decades ago and it was like magic. It unobtrusively inserted itself into your code and found memory leaks and faults you never realized were there. And then I asked about pricing and it got into this complicated per-seat licensing nonsense that scared everyone away.

Same thing happened with electric cloud. I remember trying it out and it was very well done. It unobtrusively helped you run make. It figured out all your dependencies for real (it instrumented the filesystem accesses) and magically parallelized all your builds. And then pricing killed it all.

I think a Netflix model would have worked better. Provide a set of heterogenous dev tools for a low monthly fee, fund lots of individual tool developers, and be the tide that raises all the boats.

(coincidentally purify I believe came from reed hastings who also did netflix)

I think a very important point you are missing is that JetBrains was founded in Eastern Europe. Their developer costs when they were founded were probably ~20-25% (if that) of what developers cost in Silicon Valley, yet still at an amazing skill level.

I honestly don't think JetBrains would have been able to succeed if they were founded in the US.
Hmm, how do you figure this narrative is fiction? I'm not exactly sure one can be objective about this sort of thing, as obviously the success of a film is hugely multivariate. But I think a good place to start is box office from the new trilogy and subsequent films.

SW VII (2015) – $2,068,223,624

SW VIII (2017) – $1,332,539,889 <-- loud complaints by "YouTubers"

SW IX (2019) – $1,074,144,248

The downward trend is honestly pretty extreme. Of course you can blame this on fatigue, yet if you do the same analysis with the Marvel Avengers films (which have not had the same "too PC" criticism directed at them), you will see the opposite trend towards the story's climax.

You can also look at the Star Wars films that are not part of the new trilogy: Rogue One and Solo.

Rogue One came out in 2016, after VII and before VIII. VIII was widely considered (especially by the YouTubers you refer to) to be the most egregious re-writing of Star Wars lore, establishing (as the argument goes) the main character as a clear "Mary Sue" (ridiculously over-powered character with no flaws) and otherwise shitting all over established canon in the name of "subverting expectations" (in the director's own words). Meanwhile, Solo came out after Episode VIII, and focused on (I would say) the male-favorite character in all of Star Wars, devilish rogue Han Solo. So I think the reasonable expectation before the release of either film was that Solo would be the more likely to succeed. But again, Solo came out fresh off the heels of Episode VIII, the main film that received most of the backlash you claim is "fake". I will let their respective Box Office numbers speak for themselves.

Rogue One (2016): $1,056,057,273

Solo (2018): $393,151,347
I wonder if I can use zalgo text for an ssid.
Speaking as an Australian, I've always thought that the British were not actually that bad–at least in their treatment of those people whom the American founding fathers cared about.

Australians never had to fight for their freedom from the British, we were given it. In fact, the British Empire offered the self-governing dominions – of which Australia was one – effective independence in 1931 (by the Statute of Westminster), and it took Australia 11 years to actually accept that offer, which just goes to show how eager Australia was to be independent.

You read the US Declaration of Independence, and you'd think that life in Canada and Australia and New Zealand must be absolutely horrible, and yet the actual experience of that life is that it compares favourably overall to life in the US. You can point to some things those countries maybe do worse than the US does, but you can equally point to other things those countries arguably do better. (And a lot of that comparison comes down to personal value judgements about how much priority you put on various pros and cons.)

Some of the complaints in the US Declaration of Independence are really quite pathetic. They complained about cultural rights for French Canadians ("For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province" is complaining about the British allowing French Canadians to keep the French legal system, which they viewed as important in preserving their culture). They complained about the British government imposing limits on European settlement in Native American lands. Some of their examples of "tyranny" were arguably good things.

Of course, the British were bad, in a lot of ways – colonisation, slavery, genocide, theft of land from indigenous peoples – but can you really argue that in those ways the Americans turned out better? If you want to look at slavery in particular, the British Empire officially abolished slavery in 1833, it took the US another 32 years (and a terrible war) to reach the same outcome. I think it is likely that if the American Revolution had never happened (or had been a failure), the abolition of slavery would have reached the American South earlier. So was the American Revolution then really about freedom?

If Americans are finally realising that much of their national mythology is unbelievable, is that a bad thing? I wouldn't say that Australia has no national mythology, but I feel like it is a lot thinner than America's, and maybe that's not a bad thing? Maybe the thinning out of American national mythology is something to be welcomed?
US inflation has been over 1000% in the last century. Lots of money being made in the last century, and lots more people. Sorry for the tangent, had to look it up.

My wife, who is a second wave feminist that believes that women should be given the same opportunities, but are not victims, ran across some of the craziness a few years ago.

She was in a tech forum where a woman was complaining about her experience at a company. It amounted to this woman having a perception that she was not being valued as much as a male colleague and was immediately jumping to the conclusion that it was sexism. My wife jumped in and suggested that from the sound of things, it sounded like there may be some other things going on that this person could work on and that it may have nothing to do with sexism etc..

The other people in the forum, including men, crucified my wife for those statements. This along with her daring to suggest in other women in tech forums, groups etc. that not every piece of feedback that is not positive is sexist led her to be banned from several women in tech organizations. Many would not even tell her why, but if they did it was for "being harmful to women" and "suffering from internalized misogyny" among other things.

Given her experience alone, not to mention other things we have all seen in the community none of this is surprising to me. Ironically, one of her concerns when she saw the "micro-agressions" etc. trend take hold, beyond the fact that she felt it was trying to fix one wrong with another, was that it would lead to this...and here we are. [edited for clarity]
Same thing with reporters they're not on the scene getting a story they're sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring so that the police department can tell them what happened. "We're waiting on reports" "we're waiting for the investigation report" ect.
Diplomatic immunity extending to the point of sealing the case and suppressing reporting?
Yeah this really gets to the core of a lot of this for me.

Ask HN: Devtools, free for devs, but ask companies to donate 1c+ regularly
Reading recent discussion on devtools poor economics it seemed that devs have hard time paying for dev tools except for some crucially important sometimes, companies have little reason to pay, they do not care about productivity and they think in terms of legal obligations and ROI. As someone who is thinking to release some dev tool I came up with a fresh (silly?) idea I want your opinion on: make a dev tool free for individual devs, i.e. MIT or similar permissive license, but oblige non-tiny companies i.e. 10+ total employees, to donate annually an arbitrary sum of money. Even 1 cent or dollar will do, the idea is that if they go through a hassle of asking their accounting to do a money transfer they will probably pay a little more especially if their devs praised the tool. One question I cannot answer is how to put it in words and especially in legal words. Other is will it really work or am I just day dreaming. If they stick to minimal pay of 1 cent/year it still is sort of great because I have an official customer and can list it on the "used by" page for extra advertising bit.
> an economic power like China

Says who? China is a desperately weak country in reality:

- they import half of some foods

- their "GDP" is a real estate bubble

- they rely on US capital markets and non-payment of interest.

- most BRI loans will never get repaid.

- 1/7 of citizens are underemployed or worse.

- they have a demographic time bomb.
> It's easy for Europeans to dismiss the US as a young Country with little history

And Americans have long dismissed Europe as old countries that became "sick men", and now is known as Europistan.
There's a huge difference between reading music and sight reading music.

Being able to read music is important because it is how musical ideas are communicated with precision.

Sight reading is a skill that is only useful in certain professional contexts and adds nothing to one's musical ability. You can safely dispense with sight reading as a skill if you will not be using it.

> This is the take of people who have little on the line, and don't face issues everyday, falsely lumping all matters of outrage together. They're now upset, outraged even, that their status quo is challenged, and write about how we need to chill out and slowly work towards change. Well, yes slow change works if they've got little to lose from it.

> Articles like this help people lump everything in together, and feel better about themselves for being above it all. It's a supremely privileged position.

This is not a substantive response to anything the author wrote, it is pure ad hominem, and purely speculative, unless you know much more about the author than can be gleaned from this article alone. How do you presume to know what issues this author does or does not face every day?

Are they more receptive to feedback when you just launch straight into it? Or is there something different that you do to prime them to be receptive?
As you yourself said - a problem with implicit flows is abuse of open redirects. It's a rare open redirect that is vulnerable to implicit that's not also vulnerable to PKCE protected auth code flow. This pattern is generally true across the board for implicit grant vulnerabilities. I was hoping you knew of known value-add versus what's usually seen (when anything is examined at all) - contrived scenarios where the attacker can only abuse minor parts of an open redirect or has JS execution but not the ability to make off-box calls, etc. The subtle browser interactions, as you call out, are the problem, not the one versus two legged nature of running session existence into tokens. (Of course, in auth code flow you now have RTs, so now you have N+1 problems...)

It's more of a discussion for the standards groups I suppose.
I suppose it depends on your comfort level in the stack you’re dealing with. I’ve been writing software for 40 years. I’ve been doing Rails since almost the start, and find RubyMine slow and overwrought. However, I had to do some Java work (which I had never done in anger before) and found that IntelliJ really is worlds better than Eclipse. So much so that I paid for it out of my own pocket, even though I knew the project was doomed to failure. I hear good things about Rider, but I have yet to try it, as, after all these years, I’m pretty comfortable with VS. Rails work is EASILY done with a terminal and a text editor; the others not so much.
I am curious though...why wouldn’t historians trace Jewish roots like any other?

It seems an odd stance to assume that would be reserved for “cranks”.
In the OP's case it was done for deflection of blame rather than trying to track where the mutations are first noted.

Except for all of the mainstream media coverage such as this article in the Guardian, which credits the US vaccination program in contrast to Germany.

The article says:

"90 days since the first jab was administered, only 10% of Germany’s population have received their first dose, compared with 42% in the UK and 26% in the US."
