Complaining about literary trends is like complaining about too many people eating an ice cream flavor you don't like: pointless because there's no scarcity. If you don't like it don't read it.

Personally I don't ever see myself reading a present-tense novel for pleasure. As a reader it makes me feel put-upon, as if the book is angrily demanding I approach it in a particular way. I tend to start reading faster and faster, subconsciously thinking I can outrun the narrator and get to a place where I can calm down.

Neurologist Antonio Damasio Finds That Consciousness Is the Feeling of Feelings
Animals have evolved highly functional visual systems to understand motion, assisting perception even under complex environments. In this paper, we work towards developing a computer vision system able to segment objects by exploiting motion cues, i.e. motion segmentation. We make the following contributions: First, we introduce a simple variant of the Transformer to segment optical flow frames into primary objects and the background. Second, we train the architecture in a self-supervised manner, i.e. without using any manual annotations. Third, we analyze several critical components of our method and conduct thorough ablation studies to validate their necessity. Fourth, we evaluate the proposed architecture on public benchmarks (DAVIS2016, SegTrackv2, and FBMS59). Despite using only optical flow as input, our approach achieves superior results compared to previous state-of-the-art self-supervised methods, while being an order of magnitude faster. We additionally evaluate on a challenging camouflage dataset (MoCA), significantly outperforming the other self-supervised approaches, and comparing favourably to the top supervised approach, highlighting the importance of motion cues, and the potential bias towards visual appearance in existing video segmentation models.
There are several possibilities of dealing with UDP traffic in OMR.

1) Multipath VPN (glorytun).
Thing is that UDP spread over multiple paths will not as well as MPTCP. MPTCP creates multiple subflows, one for each available path. Each subflow behaves (roughly) as a separate TCP connection, carrying some part of the traffic that goes through the pipe (byte-level splitting of the traffic, not packet-level). What's important here is that each subflow has its own separate congestion control.
The congestion control mechanism [1] is a very important aspect of TCP that basically controls its speed in a way that your internet connection is not overloaded and concurrent connections aren't disrupted. QUIC also includes a congestion control mechanism. But with MPTCP, each path is treated individually; with QUIC-over-multipath-VPN, where we just spread UDP packets somehow over multiple paths, the congestion control mechanism will get confused, b/c in the reality the congestion can happen separately on each path which will be hard to see; also, there will be packet reordering which will not improve the situation either. Basically, this is what happens when you try to spread plain TCP over multiple paths naively, and it's the reason why MPTCP was invented in the first place.

2) UDP-over-TCP.
In this case, I'm afraid that given that QUIC has its own congestion control, we might get unpleasant side effects similar to "TCP meltdown" as in case of TCP-over-TCP [2]

In some cases it might be due to the curse of knowledge. You assume because you understand it that the subject must be pretty simple for others.
Unfortunately that's not really accurate. :(

That might also be something less dramatic. After a year of mostly staying at home, I had the same feeling, but in the end I think it was mostly stank from some of the more extreme diets I had in recent times. Now that the weather allows for full days of ventilation again (combined with baking soda) that smell was pretty quickly gone.

When will we be able to make real backups of Signal messages using the iOS app? Privacy is valuable, but important messages without ability to make backups is already very risky. Having data loss bugs is unforgivable.

Bug report for existing functionality that does not work as intended. Signal was my default app, so to even receive an SMS I had to switch to Android Messages. I have been using the app for over half a decade and kept transferring messages from phone to phone. I fear it's because it's low on space (it has an SD card but afaik signal can't use that except for backups) and maybe something temporarily fills up the main storage and signal corrupts. I didn't get this in time. I checked and didn't have any signal updates or OS updates happen for at least a week, I don't think that was the issue.

The problem started one day with "... has joined Signal". (It is possible that the phone was low on storage on that day.) Subsequently I got this stack trace upon startup 4 out of 5 times, and 19 out of 20 times when trying to open any conversation: #10868 (comment) This instant crash made Signal unusable for the last few months. The backup procedure ran through within 1 second, and the created backup file is only 1 MB in size. Reinstalling Signal and trying to import that backup has no effect.
Flatpak is the only practical approach to achieve some degree of isolation on Linux today, unless you are willing to go with Qubes OS.

And yes, I know Flatpak has some way to go before it actually reaches that goal, but I don't see any other solution to this problem that Linux users in general seem to be happy just pretending doesn't exist.

If not Flatpak, do you have an alternative approach to propose to regular users who just want to be able to run a random application without worrying that it has access to all your information?

There's an infinite set of things you can diversify into. Speculative mania does't have to make the list. It can, but it certainly doesn't have to.

I personally believe everyone should allocate 5% of their portfolio to GameStop. There's only 69 million shares outstanding, that's not enough for all the world's millionaires to own just two! I'm as in on GameStop as I am index funds, and real estate, and various tech picks.
People from around the world work for low pay in grad school because the opportunities afterwards are much better in the US, either in industry which is where most go now, or even in academia. The federal government dumps more money into research grants than any other country, and this is able to support a lot of researchers and generate a mountain of scientific output.
Zink was used by ancient Greeks and Romans in a brass alloy. Zink and copper are interchangeable in a crystal structure of brass, and are inseparable because of that. Obviously, brass is useless in voltac pile because of copper in it.

I am not that sure about vinegar as a medium. I beleive it will lead to low voltage and weak power, rendering the pile useless for long distance transmission.

The same applies to copper wire. You need steel to draw copper to make wire, otherwise wires will be short, need to be soldered and become ineffective for long distance.

Also, telegraph lines are too easy to sabotage. Fire signals are much more reliable to rule ancient empire.

Both have their merits. It depends on what's needed in a specific location, how much incident sunlight there is, and what the effects on other cooling loads are.

By reflecting white light back through the atmosphere, rather than absorbing light and re-radiating heat (infrared) wavelengths, more energy can be transmitted back through and out of the atmosphere into space. Air, and specifically the CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in it, are relatively opaque to infrared light, so that is trapped.

In areas with high cooling loads, offsetting heat before it can enter into structures has benefits. This is reflective rather than insulative blocking, and is quite effective.

Solar panels are of course useful, though expensive compared with even specialty paints. They also convert most of the incident sunlight to heat (only about 10-20% is typically converted to electricity), which is re-radiated into surroundings. Again, typically this isn't a major factor, but it could well be worthwhile painting surfaces not covered with PV arrays white, especially in warm climates and high-solar-incidence regions.

I have my doubts whether this specific paint's characteristics are all that meaningful in a real world with dust, dirt, grime, and bird droppings. But the underlying idea is valid and has been used in similar technologies and deployments.

Summary of the article

The Duties of John von Neumann's Assistant in the 1930s. A 26 year-old former graduate student of Columbia University, Edgar R. Lorch (1907–1990) has just completed his Ph.D. in mathematics. He is, in his own words, awarded a National Research Council Fellowship for a year of post-doctoral studies.

John von Neumann taught at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. John Lorch was offered a position as his assistant at the IAS. Lorch's duties included reciting aloud lines from Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" and reciting German poetry.

In the 1930s, von Neumann's assistant was required to keep up with him and his lectures. The assistant was also required to translate his numerous 100-page papers into English. The job required a person to be "sharp, fast, clever and tough," writes author N.A. Vonneuman. "No matter, the Annals of Mathematics editorial assistant retyped the letter, supplying all the missing symbols" "I left my meeting with Veblen in a downcast mood" "The job entailed such onerous duties that only someone with an iron constitution could survive" This essay is based on the article "Szeged in 1934" by Edgar R. Lorch. It is part of a series of stories on math-related topics, published in Cantor's Paradise, a weekly Medium publication.
Excellent work.

Fantastic. The ability to train without labourious labelling/annotations can really help produce effective models appropriate for real-world use cases.

No code as yet, but looking forward to having it released and playing with it: https://github.com/charigyang/motiongrouping

*Edit: It will be interesting to see if this works Video > Image as well. Much of the current video AI work stems from the image foundation, ie split a video into constituent frames and run detection models on those images. But the image detection/segmentation models assume each image is different, and so the process when parsing video this way is unnecessarily complex - sequential video frames in the same scene are more alike than different.

If good segmentation models for video can be more easily trained using this method, then it would be interesting if they can also be applied accurately to still images, since a snapshot of a video is a single image anyway.

My one question is how security is upheld in what seems like a project maintained by a small number of people.
You don't need to understand every implementation detail of a technology to solve problems, you need to understand the abstraction it exposes. In this case HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 expose the same abstraction that HTTP/1.1 exposes.

The only thing you need to know is that the cost each request/response is much smaller then before, so you can make more of them with less overhead. That's it.

Without abstraction this world is so complex, we wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning and put our pants on.

I disagree with you. Some coins like tezos and cardano or a similar coin will be a creative destructive force for many institutions. They allow for truly decentralized authority.

It should be obvious end to end encryption and ephemeral messages are for different threat models. And blocking iOS backup but allowing Android backup, desktop backup, and iOS history transfer is a really bad way to implement ephemeral messages.

You assume someone will know what they'll want later when they receive it. Saving several messages together is tedious in most apps. So is organizing saved messages.
My recollection: We attract students from all over the world because you simply can go to school here. Most other countries have significant barriers to entry for college that we lack.

In some countries, you have to choose between a trade school track and a college track around the time you enter high school and there is little to no opportunity to change tracks at a later date.
It was a flippant statement, but it’s still more right than your righteous reply.

I have experience here, literally with isolation diets for immune issues on starches, common for immunologists to run, see AIP which can start extreme down to one thing. I had a friend who had to do a super intense version, luckily, mine was quick.

There’s no problem with flippant statements, just bad faith replies that try and pick fights over nothing.

Also didn’t claim benefit. It’s potato. If there were some significant problem we’d have known by now.

Gold isn't being treated all that differently to the other period 6 or 11 elements. Although it does sometimes get randomly good tax treatment due to its history which keeps it entrenched as the first choice for a monetary metal. But fundamentally it is being sold at cost to mine + a margin, same as everything else. My memory is anything with similar properties to gold has a similar price. The bulk of its value comes from nobody being able to produce the stuff for much less than $50k/kg US.

If history was erased, the price of gold would go down a bit because demand drops, but it would still be somewhere similar to $50k/kg US - to a first approximation people can't produce gold more cheaply than that. The price might even go up if the cheap producers are big bulk-mining operations.
My gripe with all schools of economics is how real estate/land market is completely abstracted away. Even though it is the largest financial market of them all, with everyone except homeless involved.

In mainstream economics it is treated as just another good, such as break or milk, but somehow it behaves differently. The dynamics of the market are driven by monopoly pricing and mortgage and rent are paid more like a tax than a payment for a yoghurt that you can choose not to buy or buy an alternative. You can't choose not to be housed.

Since its monopolistic nature the house/land market works like a gravity for excess money and endless bubble which keeps inflating and bursting forming a housing cycle, which many confuse with a business cycle.

Real estate is literally where money go to die. Excess money or surplus and corrupt money gets parked in it and unless additional money is used for repairs it actually loses value. It acts as a sink of money flow in the economy.

Classical economists in the 19th century were actually aeare of this. Ricardo and his law of rent actually really describes what is going on with the economy. It explains what wages even mean, instead of just payments for work, based on margin of production. It's actually one of the few law of economics which actually behaves like a law of gravity in physics, being consistent globally, unlike the rest of them resembling the theory of epicycles.

Since the marginal revolution housing, land and rents were abstracted away and economics started resembling some mathematical system for an imaginary game world with researchers being drowned in neverending epicycles.

If the theory doesn't model land and house speculation then it will fall into the same traps and will be chasing parameter tuning to ever more complex equations forever since it will never understand the actual money flows in the economy.

I think i'll stick with TLS and http/2.
So, the "something you have" element of security is to primarily avoid remote compromise. And even make local compromise require an additional theft step.

If the hacker gets your key, and your password it's game over.

But hacking the password will take some time hopefully, and systems usually have retry limits etc. so if you discover your lost key, you hopefully have some time to revoke the lost key.

I personally would not use it for password-less login, as it is only good as a second factor.

If your threat model includes any real likelihood of people capable of stealing your keys and cracking your passwords, then 2FA is only a small part of the opsec you need.

Things like NSA's Zero Trust Security model comes to mind https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26549363

If you're at that level, you probably need specialist infra.

But potential compromises don't mean you're not less secure than before, Yubikey would still make you more difficult to hack.
> Some coins like tezos and cardano or a similar coin will be a creative destructive force for many institutions. They allow for truly decentralized authority. Think passports without an issuing country. Think money without a central bank.

These are all just words that amount to nothing but marketing. To be all that these coins need to painstakingly re-create all the institutions that make passports, money etc. possible: laws, courts, trust systems, enforcement etc.

There's literally nothing in the "fundamental societal concepts" that they modernise.

Not to belabor the "startup" debate but they actually do discuss growth goals on the blog:

"We don't want to speak for you, but we're sure you've felt it: Ever notice how your favorite applications seem to get slower over time? That's no coincidence. They call that "growth". It happens because panicked teams were frantically trying to throw more functions at what was a good idea for some stupid business goal. And a good idea turns into something that isn't, real quick. That thing you loved metastasized into something you hate.
