Any reason this type of work couldn't be done with mininet (http://mininet.org/)?

I can see this was developed for NRL research, so not trying to say it's a knock off or anything. Seems to have been developed a few years later, but close to the same time, one of those things like Deep Impact and Armageddon both coming out at the same time.

Anyway, having used mininet quite a bit back in the day in grad school, this kind of thing is great. Not sure exactly the extent of networking you can simulate with this toolset, but mininet lets you put entire simulated autonomous systems on a single laptop and you can mess around with BGP policies. It's really cool, stuff you would normally need to work for AT&T with access to millions of miles of fiber to have a chance to do.

> open-source . . . home security camera solution

i (deeply) reject your inquiry as a harmfully narrow, reductive consumerist ask, when this could be a much more neutral, open ended friendly question. you have qualified this from the start as a "solution," which is against the best premises, the best strengths of open source: "small pieces, loosely coupled."

the best software is small, purposeful, targetted. interwoven with other systems. only then is open source able to continue to focus on innovation & advancement, without becoming mired down in endless maintenance & complexity.

you should re-evaluate your ask, to ask for something that, will, in the end, not becoming limiting & ossified. open source ought best avoid the pretense commercial software competes on, of being a complete and final thing, of being everything to everyone. open source ought be more humble, and for this, it is better. ask, instead of a solution, after what systems of software might help one accomplish the home security systems they might want to build.

the best piece of open source home security cameras that I've seen is Frigate, which has masking & less interesting to me but probably interesting to many, object detection. designed for home assistant but it has other uses. much assembly required. good. solve your problem how you want to solve it: not how everyone else also has to.

i'd point out that home assistant itself is regarded by many as somewhat of an abomination, too big, unwieldy. core has 1.4k issues open and almost 300 PRs open. it's a shit show. it does way too much, it's way too monolithic, the project is basically doomed to stay where it is. it's a solution, and one that will rot & be no better in 3, 30, or 300 years: there's no open future here. it's only upside is that it is a plugin architecture, that it is an interoperation layer, that projects like Frigate can contribute & add capabilities too. home assistant is hugely popular, but basically it's core redeeming feature is that it allows small pieces, loosely coupled, to do something. home assistant itself is an anti-solution. frigate is an anti-solution. they are both parts, pieces, and in that is the strength. and hopefully, someday, we can kind a better system of pieces such that we can get rid of bloody ugly home assistant.

As one of the many people who was disappointed by the show when I watched it ages ago (despite its amazing aesthetic and visuals), I can totally believe that. In hindsight it's obvious, but after watching things from different subtitlers, I realized what a difference subtitle quality makes.

It's especially annoying when you naturally start to pattern match and pick up certain common words (if you've watched a lot of stuff for years) and see a short subtitle that seems like an extreme simplification or ham-fisted watering down of what a character just said. Subtitle timing and duration can also make a difference.

It makes you really appreciate good subtitling, at least.
> In one instance, she was able to determine that two users who frequently made transactions with one another were a married couple in San Diego who owned a car and a dog and had recently taken the dog to the vet. She was able to distinguish that they shopped weekly for groceries at Walmart, were paying off a loan and frequently ordered pizza.

This is why people don’t take the threat seriously. If I told any of my family and friends about this find they’d shrug unless they already agreed with me. Some of them even want people to know the things about them that can be found out through Venmo and use it for that purpose.

The article vaguely mentions stalking, but doesn’t really point out a specific credible threat. It doesn’t feel very visceral to me and because of that I suspect it won’t feel visceral to others and they won’t consider it a problem.

In the adversarial case, yes, there is. I agree that avatars help you distinguish among ~a dozen users; what they don't do is provide strong guarantees that the person you're talking to actually is who they claim to be.
You need a client number for that which is an additional level of security since most people keep that a secret as well.

Yeah, the fact is other people are often more talented, any maybe worse, even if other people aren't more talented, you just screw stuff up--often a lot.

It's part of life and putting your head in the sand about is just weak. If you could have been farther--and worst case the only reason you aren't is because of mistakes you knew better than to make--face it, accept it, forgive yourself and use the experience to keep your head on straight going forward. It's all you can do anyway.

As for tactics, sometimes it might help if you imagine it was someone else who screwed up the way you did and consider how you'd treat/view them. (For those of us with really super-critical inner voices, this can help us get in touch with our compassion.) Like all these kinds of things, YMMV.

> It’s silly to complain that AWS doesn’t have a service that allows any random programmer to deploy a globally scalable app with one click. For one thing, you aren’t AWS’s primary target audience.

I won't be surprised if AWS makes disproportionately more money off smaller operations which don't want to care about honing their infra, but want something be done quickly and with low effort. They quench the problem with money, while the absolute amounts are not very high. So targeting them even more, and eating a slice of Heroku's pie, looks pretty logical for AWS to do.
You would think that, but a year is a long time for an experiment to run. I suspect they could have asked reddit to move their experiment elsewhere at this point if they cared and it's actually an experiment still. Otherwise, it's not an experiment because there is no end, and it's just special behavior applied to one subreddit in perpetuity. You can still get data from that, but it's disingenuous to present it as an experiment (it could entirely be reddit being weird. I'd believe that as wel).
Thanks for the details and video. That confirms what I thought playing around earlier: turns out, we don't have a max/min-height set, and so it's possible to have popups on screens where it's impossible for the popup to not overlap. (For some reason, the positioning is also almost as bad as possible when the popup must overlap, but that is a secondary issue.)

I think this can be easily fixed by adding a minimum height to the media-queries and falling back to popins... Obormot might want to do something different, so we'll see. But shouldn't be hard either way.
I wish there was an MDN for Python/Julia.
I closed the page in frustration when I got this popup to subscribe and haven't been using it as much since. I thought it was real. Or maybe it was and this is damage control?
The thing is, if you want to use existing older camera lenses a large sensor is a hard requirement unless you want an ultra-zoom. Which is why people are having success with the rpi sensor for astrophotography, but this article is about making a portable, everyday camera; I'd quite like to be able to use my old Nikon 20mm as a 20mm, not a... um, 112mm or thereabouts.

You'd think so, and some printers like the Prusa Mini use newer 32-bit controllers, but a lot of the most popular models (other Prusas, most Creality models, etc.) use the ATmega 2560, which is an 8 bit controller that came out in 2006 and isn't much different from what was available in the late 90s. They didn't exist in 1989, but they weren't far off.

I don’t really understand the I think he gives great advice.

> every day on hn there are countless articles that are of the self-help variety from various entrepreneurs and startup celebrities and whatever. why is this kind of content so popular on a place that prides itself on rigorous rational inquiry (or whatever it is that's on the masthead)? basically i see people nodding along with the most superficial "wisdom" and i don't understand

It’s funny you say this because I was going to comment that this is the comment I see everyday on HN whenever anyone gives business advice.

The HN comment section of every article written by an entrepreneur (especially a successful one) that gives basic advice is filled with comments about how they are tired of business people selling them a dream. You almost always can find a comment on survivorship bias, luck, privilege, etc.

> 1) why people are fine with being pandered to

Have you ever considered that people actually find these articles useful ? HN has been extremely valuable for me. I’ve learned so much about the startup world and it’s awesome to here from people who have built successfully companies themselves.
Well it depends. Those self-help gurus are also finance-driven, while religion is often, especially at the start, more like a focused group-building exercise.

You reject all attempt at explaining the world so you don't get stuck in awe on the beach looking at the sky, and start instead the long work of cultivating fields, building monuments, joining armies, things like that. Islam was a tool to unite then conquer, Judaism possibly an emancipation/union initiative for slave, and Christianity a very soft society transformer in Rome. They all served group-building exercise.

Self-help instead does a bit the opposite, it focuses on you as an individual, is very transactional (you pay to read advice), and has very little to show for (or it's very hard to measure), unlike say Christianity arriving in a slave colony.

>EDIT: Oh, I also watched Ergo Proxy in an overnight binge so I honestly can't remember much about it. A lot of people like it, I found it really boring and felt too grandiose for what actually happened in the end. There's an interesting story behind it all, but I had to resort to reading fan theories to get it.

The most common reaction to it I saw at the time actually was "really boring and felt too grandiose for what actually happened in the end". (That was my reaction, too.) It just has a lot of other characteristics that make it appealing; it's arguably still the best-looking anime I've seen, despite being 15 years old. Especially since I'm a fan of that kind of dark aesthetic. And it starts out really promising and curiosity-grabbing.

I think when people say "just do a little better than last time" they leave off an important, potentially implicit, but important part that is "than yourself last time".

Self competition is one of the key parts to maintaining a healthy mindset when improving on anything versus overly relying on external comparison.

The author also briefly touched on another topic I think is incredibly important for improving and moving forward with "I'll say it for you: you're forgiven".

I consider myself rather Type A and one of the hardest things is forgiving myself for anything really. I carry things that happened N years ago with me that likely no one besides myself noticed or things they did but forgave me for a long time ago. Forgiving myself is even harder than not focusing on external comparison and I'm getting better with it as times goes on and sometimes it fuels me but at other times it really is a lot of weight that can slow you down when you don't want it to.

So I'm still working on forgiving myself on things that I really should be able to and knowing the difference for things I maybe should carry with me for a bit. As I've lived I've realized I am without a doubt my own harshest critic and the critic is a right bastard who's not always in the realm of reality.

HN is an institution. The tech industry should be ashamed that they have HN modes.
That sounds really interesting!
That's an interesting thought though; does the UI of HN help to foster this community in any way? I would argue it absolutely does given the amount of people I see (myself included) that hate designs like the new Reddit, for example. I would then argue that the UI of HN does indeed play an important role in defining it.
The world is not as simple as you make it to be. SpaceX was founded by a guy who squeezed not one but many bucks out of the world. The same company just closed a funding round worth $1.2 billion from many investors who I'm sure are master at squeezing a buck or two. Yet they dream big and inspire a lot of young people to tackle hard problems. Turns out a squeezed buck today can go a long way to confront looming problems.
So, I think you've gravely misunderstood the concepts at work here.

You know NullPointerException? Does that feel like maybe "getting it wrong" ? But it does still happen to Java programmers. That can't happen in (safe) Rust. If you write a program that could try to dereference a null pointer it won't compile. You'd be getting it wrong.

Or let's try something a bit more sophisticated. Many Java data structures can be subject to a Data Race in threaded software. So you may be "getting in wrong" in the sense that on John's 16 core monster server the output is incorrect, but on your cheap 10 year old laptop it works (much more slowly but) correctly. Both outcomes were valid meanings of your Java program, and Java provides some tools you could use to protect yourself, but it won't even warn you that you were "getting it wrong" the results are just incorrect, too bad.

In (safe) Rust, Data Races can't happen, the compiler will reject your program. Some other types of Race Condition can happen, but no Data Races.
Same here. In fact, in looking at the Ian Knot page again, I might start tying the "Starting Knot" differently as well!

what was so wrong with my comment? already voted down? by who and for what? are we supposed to "rah-rah" the tech being pushed here without thinking?
Ah, alright. Thanks.

As for how much this resembles walking, if we label the states with integers rather than their binary expansion (uh, maybe assume infinitely many bits, and represent the negative numbers with the ones starting with all 1s?),

Well, the state corresponding to a given integer is sent to a linear combination of itself and the states corresponding to integers either one or 2 higher or lower.

If this were a transition function for a classical random process (with non-negative coefficients which sum to 1 instead of having absolute value squared-s which sum to 1), that seems to me like it could be called a random walk.

hadamard on last digit does,
If n is even, |n> -> (|n> + |(n+1)>)/sqrt(2)

If n is odd, |n> -> (|(n-1)> - |n>)/sqrt(2)

So, combining this with the incrementing,

For n even, |n> -> (|(n+1)> + |(n+2)>)/sqrt(2)

If n is odd, |n> -> (|(n)> - |(n+1)>)/sqrt(2)

Composing with the hadamard again

For n even, |n> -> ((|n> -|(n+1)>)/sqrt(2) + (|(n+2)> + |(n+3)>)/sqrt(2) )/sqrt(2) = ( |n> - |(n+1)> + |(n+2)> + |(n+3)>)/2

For n odd, |n> -> (|(n-1)> - |n> - |(n+1)> - |(n+2)>)/2

And so, including the final decrement, the whole operation does

For n even, |n> -> ( |(n-1)> - |n> + |(n+1)> + |(n+2)>)/2

For n odd, |n> -> (|(n-2)> - |(n-1)> - |n> - |(n+1)>)/2

Certainly if you measured the result after each application of this, you would observe behavior like a classical random walk of sorts (it would have a bias towards increasing when n is even and a bias towards decreasing when n is odd, but otherwise looks balanced.)

Though, I don’t really see much advantage of this over simply taking what is initially being used as the least significant bit of an integer, and instead using it as your coin qubit, and using the rest of the bits for the integer, instead of using this weird mashup of the two (which seems to maybe give something almost but not quite equivalent to it.)

Edit: oh! They clarified what they meant, good
