I was a full time Windows developer (WinForms, WPF, and ASP.NET) for three years until January. I used Windows 10. Still hated it. The search worked sometimes, but that's no excuse for having more than one place to go to change system settings. Microsoft have not released a completed operating system since Windows XP.
This is not true. I've used exclusively Firefox and Safari for years and have never fallen afoul of recaptcha except when testing it as a developer.
The Cost of Proof of Work
I wonder how a group of pure go-getters would fare on a grade structure like this.
There was a kerfuflle some months back when the FDA was going around slapping huge fines on craft distilleries who were making hand sanitizer. Don't recall the specifics, it was either something about exceeding allowed production quotas for ethanol, or taxes, maybe both. I believe that sanity prevailed and the fines were not imposed.
> The video provides a good overview about the issues surrounding bias in ML, and I think it motivates a discussion that would be useful to have on HN, given the number of people who work on such systems that regularly visit this site.

Have you read any sane discourse on HN in the last few years? The top post on any thread like this will discuss how algorithmic bias is just some SJW conspiracy or concern.
They're also going to be more male, meaning they didn't die in childbirth, a serious cause of death for women through most of history. And not males in warfare, a major cause of death for young men through most of history.
In hindsight, you're right. And obviously I didn't. However at the time, it was the uncertainty as a result of never having done something like this that made me worried.
Something like that, correct. According to the tech specs you have "Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless" and Bluetooth as options. The hyperspeed thing is what causes system interrupts out the wazoo.
Ask HN: What service would you pay for that isn't available today?
Hi HN,
As a team of engineers, or as an engineer, what kind of services would you like to have or happily willing to pay for?
Deflation. The price of the burger in BTC has largely been falling. Why spend your appreciating* bitcoins when they will bu worth more tomorrow. If the price is stable this effect goes away and you might as well spend them.

* Who knows if this will continue
The point was that battery tech is not very advanced (compared to, say, building a microprocessor), and hence the assumption that an Asian country can easily duplicate it, especially considering the points you make (low wages, different standards, etc.)
The Bandcamp website renders a nice 1500px image of the album art when you click the thumbmnail. It's a nice touch that I hope they keep.
Same. I heard a famous entrepreneur say on a podcast recently that every time he felt a bit of pain he knew it'd been because he hadn't hit the gym for a few days... 100%. I get back in the workout routine and it's all good.

On a positive note it's just insanely effective at getting me to exercise. I just have _no choice_ so I know I'll be regularly exercising so long as I'm still using computers.
It definitely is doable, but the efficency of the process probably prevents market adoption, until fosil gas gets more expensive. (cheap fracking gas)

And if you use a methan fuel cell - you can use its surplus heat for heating while generating electricity.

I don't think they are market ready, though. But there are lots of options out there and the best solution is likely to combine what works now.

Btw. I think there was a breakthrough with natrium based batteries. (No lithium needed).
They were just not as energy dense as lithium based ones, but that matters not so much for stationary use. So with no ressource limitation, you could produce them in very big quantities..
Swift writes her own music. She works with collaborators and producers but she writes her own music. Dessner sent her instrumental tracks that she turned into folklore (writing to track), it was similar with Antonof. This isn’t a marketing charade, she’s literally a songwriter first.

She has included song-writing voice memos that show the progression of how she wrote certain songs on 1989 and the documentary “Miss Americana” clearly shows her songwriting process (as does this collection of clips from an AT&T promo she did for Reputation https://youtu.be/I4WlSnWtkt8).

Liz Rose, who co-wrote some of Swift's earlier songs (including the much-loved, “All Too Well”), described the process of working with her as editing [1], something all of her other collaborators have said too.

There are a lot of pop stars who get a writing credit for doing very little on a track but Taylor Swift isn’t one of them. If anything, she’s been quite clear that her success is directly tied to her songwriting. Her voice alone (especially as a teenager) wouldn’t have made her a star. It was her songs, paired with her voice and her personality that made everything work.

> new features -> plugins. Required features -> converted from plugins to native.

I like that framing. What counts as required will always be up for debate, but I like that framing.

> at the same time it has evolved into something required for modern development.

Has it? Is the implication that any development done without it is somehow not modern? Or that most modern development tend to eventually bump into this requirement? Assuming you mean the second one, I'm not sure that's true... it certainly hasn't been true for me, but maybe I'm in the minority and don't realize it.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Leaving this comment as-is, so as to not hide my shame. I see now why this feature in particular should probably be baked in.
The army probably misunderstood what they meant by telemetry.
THIS.

If anybody at Apple Music is reading this, please prioritize the song from the actual album in search results. It kills me to be bumped into Greatest Hits or compilations so often.
I mean, outspoken internal employee groups exist and higher ups acknowledge them. Satya drives home the empathy and feelings message more than any other CEO. And AFAIK, I don't recall an instance of Microsoft suppressing an employee's voice similar to what happens at Google frequently. They tried getting their employees to participate in their internal social networks but it never caught any attention. Microsoft just does a better job convincing their employees everything they do is for the greater good.
Don’t tell, show!
From what I've seen the two key use cases are 1) being able to see a "gun's eye" view, enabling you to poke your weapon out of cover and fire without exposing yourself 2) faster friend-foe identification through the AR overlay. Both of those seem like significant upgrades and arguably worth pursuing, but you can be sure a bunch of other nonsense will probably get tacked on that may make it worse than useless (like giving it excessive network connectivity: it wouldn't be fun to get a forced auto-update in combat).
> People on the ground never have use for such tech.

Strong disagree.

I would absolutely love to have access to field and barracks VR and AR tech. I think there are many immediate and practical and simple applications.

Private, patented R&D which benefits a single trillion-dollar corporation funded by public dollars. Too common in this country sadly.
Tracing Paper (2020)
I've coded by myself for my own business, for the last 10 years. The best tool I found to give me objective feedback on my code is Code Climate. You can upload your code there and get a grade and feedback, which helped me improve immensely. I also focused on learning how to write good tests and used a web app called "codecov" to understand my gaps. It's not an easy hill to climb so don't be so tough on yourself, just make some changes and improve.
> so gold mining is 0.2% of global CO2 emissions!?

Looks like iron & steel is 7.2%. Non-ferrous metals are listed at 0.7%, so gold is ~1/3 of the CO2 of non-ferrous metal production.

Paper ("and pulp") is 0.6%.

Only if by "lots" you mean "almost no one".
This stuff really doesn't warrant a response. Simply say "good luck banning it".

There are a large complicated set of reasons why it isn't going to happen but the proof of this is that many governments have many reasons theyd love to ban crypto but they don't because in the end they perceive it to be either an economic or political loss and can't make it happen.

Anyway, this isn't keeping me up at night.
I'm curious, what's the obstacle? Can't they take the display from the hololens, make it smaller and integrate it into one eye of an existing headset that the military uses?
I like it! Looks great and seems to work great too (tho I didn't register so can't comment on all the things). I would like to suggest a few things:

It automatically detects your location, which is great except if you're on a VPN. A (pre-populated) Location field would be great. (Bonus points: add a "More..." button or something to expand the search radius.)

How about adding a Twitter account for us to reach you?

Not a fan of "View" opening a new window; how about expanding details in-line?

Good start on a list of game systems and tags but it would be really nice to give registered users the ability to contribute. And once this gets popular you'll want an 'admin' role that can approve these! Think Big! :)

Very good start.
> We won't consider machines intelligent until they have and demonstrate the capacity to consider us not-intelligent.

I don't think it needs to go that far. Birds that can solve simple puzzles are obviously intelligent, so are cats who can open doors, etc. I think the human perception if intelligence is hugely based on the notion of, "is this thing self-aware?" or "is there someone in there?", "does it have a mind of its own?"

I would say we'll consider machines intelligent when they're able to have some amount of independence. Right now, they can't solve problems they're not specifically designed/engineered to solve. We don't have any kind of general-purpose artificial intelligence. You might try to argue that reinforcement learning is that, but no, RL doesn't really work outside of a sandbox with an artificial reward function, and it's very sensitive to hyper-parameters.

If you could have a chat bot that can pass the Turing Test with a high degree of success, I think most people would consider that intelligent. Same thing for a robot that can do your laundry, wash your dishes and make some mac and cheese without days of training and without fucking up more than a typical human child would.
This makes me think of some of the battles that play out in Daemon and Freedom [1]. They're able to visualize all other parties in the area mapped by drones in real-time. They fight with massive AI swarms and are able to control the AI bots with hand gestures as they see them on the field, all while cruising around on modified motorcycles. We're in for a wild future.

And if you want to contest ownership there's no one to invade, no one to attack; the best you can do is make a fleet and try to mine

No one except for the owners of major BTC mining operations.

If a state actor, such as China, was motivated enough to identify, capture and coerce these miners it would be pretty easy to perform a 51% attack given that China accounts for around 65% of all bitcoin mining globally.

Beyond the citation though, it makes logical sense. The mechanism for sanitation is that the soap itself destroys the bacteria. This mechanism works regardless of temperature. Cold water + Soap should be just fine as long as your hands are otherwise visibly clean.

In the food industry, we were required to use high temperature water. This was presumably to remove actual surface contaminants (dirt, grease, other food contaminants) rather than for actual sanitation. That's why you might still see guidelines for using hotter water temperatures.
Please point me to an example of this. Short of prepo supply, I never once saw an example of this.
Upper body and core. At home, pull ups and chin ups and sit ups are the best. At the gym, weight machines isolating key muscles.

It's not rocket science - if your back is stuff and hurts, generally working out your back would have been a good preventative measure (but obv be careful with injuries etc!)
If it helps, I doubt the contract forbids MS from using any of its R&D on other projects, ie. Hololens 3/a consumer edition hololens.
Sure, but the process of getting there will either directly physically harm some humans or just otherwise be highly financially inefficient (in the case of developing wartime technologies which have no wartime purpose).
I have worked in this space for a long time .

Most of these companies implement COTS software . So if you want to implement Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Service Now , JIRA or other such enterprise software , you will invite bids from these consulting companies for implementation, support and SLA .
I've found that hand sanitizers cause a tingling sensation and makes me more prone to RSI-like symptoms.

Could this be related?

Has anyone had a similar experience?
Non-measurable sets are precisely the kinds of things Arnold wanted marginalized in mathematical pedagogy, instead of placed front and center. They are necessary auxiliaries to the main theory, that of measures and integration but auxiliary nonetheless.

I disagree that transfinite numbers are detached from physical intuition since most of the ones you or I could write down can be easily visualized with a few ellipses here or there. But i do think Arnold would consider them marginal players. Perhaps he thought set theory was a formalist distraction from the main of mathematics!

> Almost no tool or application is typically run as service requiring such.

I build embedded systems and appliances; it sounds like you might have to deal with this a lot less frequently than I do. I don't have to deal with it as frequently in the age of systemd though, because more projects are providing unit files now that it's everywhere, and it's a lot easier to glance at a systemd unit someone else wrote and decide if it's correct than it is to audit a random shell script and figure out what needs to be added or changed to get it to work correctly in your distro of choice.
Thanks, I appreciate the thoughtful reply! Do you use Mullvad? (kyawzazaw, I'm interested in what you use as well.)
I’m building an app in Objective-C. It is shares code on Mac, iOS and server and I’ve done it with the express purpose of learning every single little bit of the stack. (In part, to discover why Smalltalk didn’t make it.)

I just finished a class I call GTKManySocketManager which abstracts away over the “polling” functions (poll/select/epoll).

I wish I knew it was this easy when I learned Javascript.

I hate hunting a library to do something for me—and, when I do find code I want to use, it is almost always best to modify it.

Love it. Long live the socket. Build your own stack because it’s worth it’s worth it.
Purchase digital albums via the label or Bandcamp, which come with the art either in the directory or already tagged. Use a third party music player.
Taylor Swift and the Weeknd are two of the biggest artists out there and they put out albums. I don't think the concept is as abstract as you put it.

Whether artists have enough material to justify an album-length release is a different topic.
yeah it does, for CDN. But not the latency for server response.
There needs to be a fallacy I can simply name for this kind of thinking. In a world where you can't downgrade software 99% of the time, how do you show one of these companies that the change they made is shit and you don't like it? Go on Twitter and complain? "Buying power" is also an extremely crude signal. I might stop using Spotify for all kinds of reasons, like their shoddy revenue sharing. It's not like there are 100 competitors that are each nearly identical except for some specific element like album art size and I can choose the one that agrees with all my UX desires.

Edit:
It seems like a kind of UX paternalism has crept into the software industry. In the Winamp era it was possible to radically customize your music player (even making it massively ugly if you want). Over the years, more and more configuration options have been removed so now you get "dark mode" and that's basically it. Nearly all other options are chosen for you either by designer hubris or, more likely, the vendor's commercial priorities.
> Do we really need a conflict to be willing to stand behind an expense?

I think not, considering the situation veterans find themselves in.

The US won't stand behind an expense unless there's money to be made from it.
The army has a little under 500K active-duty soldiers. As a gross overestimation, if they were delivering one headset per soldier, napkin math shows: $22B / 500K = $44K per headset.

Even if the tech were super useful and every single soldier got one, that price tag seems absolutely absurd. How can anyone be okay with this?

This website looks like a (sad, tasteless) April Fools' joke.
I just watched a not-incredibly-terrible Russian (English overdub) Netflix war film that featured a Boston Robotics dog with a mounted gun. Maybe it was a fake (probably).

Either way, it's a bit like selling your sister into prostitution but agreeing that you all get some financial benefits. It's not how humanity should progress.
No matter how clever or acclaimed Arnold is (or was), this speech is nothing but an extended rant on how deficient in skill and intelligence he finds his peers, his students and his contemporaries, and by implication how incredibly clever and acclaimed he is by contrast.

As for the argument that mathematics and physics should be conjoined - yes, physics and mathematics are incredibly close. My view, however, is that mathematics is applicable to so much more than physics - in my specialist area of set theory, for example, the underpinnings are Cantor's transfinite numbers and the theory laid down by Stoll, Codd and others in the '60s. There's no quantum about it.

What an egocentric piece this was. Hopefully long-forgotten by those who had the misfortune to attend it.
Infantry here too, I think it would be cool for the TC to have the blue force tracker, maps, and any other sensors available in a heads up display.

Also, seems like a no-brainer for tankers.

I do not want to carry this shit on a patrol though.
I wonder how much more a project like this costs than in California than in a state like Arizona.
It's also not rational to believe that a sovereign currency which is backed only by government fiat cannot crash due to inflationary spirals.

After all, if it should happen to be the case for the currencies we all use right now, it would be the first time that this experiment, which has been tried often enough throughout history, hasn't ended in that particular way.

We've put all our eggs in that basket, and it's working... so far!

I'm glad there's a hedge against that outcome though. If the worst happened, and the debt balloon triggers ECB, the Fed, and their Asian cousins, to initiate hyperinflationary money printing, we'll all be grateful that there's an alternative to going back to shipping convoys protecting boats loaded up with gold and silver.

I don't even think the aforementioned hyperinflationary spiral is inevitable, or even more likely than not. But I repeat, it is irrational not to consider it a real risk, given history, and that outcome would lead to immeasurable human suffering, which cryptocurrencies cannot prevent, but can at least ameliorate.
Wonder who put it on WWU Münster website.

Arnold's views on mathematics might be curious, but are far from being mainstream.
What tiny change has significantly improved your work day?
I recently set my chair to a slightly lower position and now I am feeling so much more comfortable during the day while working! Now I wonder if other people also experienced small things that made a huge difference. What's yours?
They are good books. (I started the first one when writing a compiler).

The valid criticisms of them relate to improvements in parsing, and in optimization, which has progressed significantly in the years that they were written.

Fun fact: On the compiler we wrote, Jeanne Musinski PhD, a student of Ullman was on our team. She wrote the parser, and actually discovered an improvement in error recovery during our project and published a paper after conferring with Ullman.
Sadly the brochure site is unresponsive:

The artists listed in the article are the same ones I have to listen to all day, which is why I thought my whining was relevant. I know there's good music out there and I've got it on my phone. I just didn't have my headphones charged yesterday and hit a wall listening to the same songs.

I don't listen to the radio on my own time. I've just been working with guys who cycle through 3 stations that all play the exact same songs.
They hope to train the soldiers with it, so they can be more ready in the real world? is that their thinking?
I'm inclined to agree. While it might be nice in theory to have your battlefield painted with where the friendlies are or something, there are so many issues with that in practice I can't imagine it actually getting used by infantry.

Just off the top:
All the electronics shit is gonna add weight, bulk, and power requirements.

It's gonna get dirty, fogs up, w/e.

It's gonna not work for one reason or another b/c it can't get a link, or it gets bashed against a humvee/wall. It doesn't get updated information, etc.

If the enemy picks it up it either shows them where to shoot your guys, or it involves some authentication system that will make it useless to guys in a gunfight anyway. (What happens if your guys accidentally switch headsets after lunch?)

It adds a bunch of extraneous bullshit in the form of information you don't need to be dealing with. Ever get lost while listening to the radio? Now raise your hand if the first thing you did was turn the music down. When shit is going south you need to REDUCE cognitive load. Pasting extra information into someone's field of view is likely to be unhelpful.
