For those who haven't seen it, here's Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon: [1]

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a version of this film with the original Teiji Ito soundtrack, so the one I linked to has a soundtrack by another artist, which I don't find to be as good as the Ito version, but it's better than watching the film without any soundtrack at all.

Also regretable is that I haven't seen many films that seem to be influenced by Maya Deren. The closest are probably some of the films of David Lynch (such as Mulholland Dr), which also show a fascination with dreams and dream symbolism.

I would have loved to hear Lynch speak on Maya Deren, if he could somehow be persuaded to give a straight answer without veering off on a tangent like Transcendental Meditation.

Yep. Apple's game has always been marking up marginal utility, and that's ultimately what you pay for here.
> From the research I've seen, all this privacy-invading crap doesn't even improve ad performance much

Which research? From my experience, personalized ads perform ~50% better than non-personalized ads. This would also explain why Google and Facebook are fighting tooth and nail to keep their tracking infrastructure.

I have this same theory with road cyclists. I have no problem with someone bicycling to get to work but there are many other types of exercise that don't involve blocking traffic by making other drivers terrified to hit you. It's like doing jumping jacks at a gun range. There must be a dominance factor at play.
Fossil is a pretty significant player in the industry, I own their Carlyle 5 model.
The argument that I hear often is that people in 200/300 years would precisely love that kind of thing. My history book in high school was filled with things like that. Articles from journals, letters from soldiers sent to their families. I think we don't need to keep every single high school newspaper, but I wouldn't know where to start if I had to choose which ones to keep.
Not to mention our entire driving infrastructure, which is wholly built around visual driving.
We don't really use stereo vision for the distances required for driving. Our eyes are simply too close to each other for that.

Stereo vision is mostly usable below 15 ft/5m range, if even that.

So, i was responding to your comment:

> I would have thought most talented programmers don't want to waste their time on leetcode, so it would primarily select for people who can't succeed without dedicating time to it.

I was saying that it's not that much of a waste of time, because it's not that much of a time investment for a good outcome (doing well at interviews).

If you want to change the argument from "it's a waste of time" to "it's trivially easy and easy to game", then why are there people who complain about leetcode and not wanting to do it?

What we call "culture" is often collective trauma, it is history. To be left behind. We are all humans, dysfunctional in different ways we call "culture".... until one can hope, someday the fish sees the water.

There is strictly no sane reason why a human being should withdraw a smile or any kind of positive emotion or spontaneous expression so long as they are emotionally healthy.

At same time the need for boundaries in our relationships (professional , intimate etc.) is universal, not cultural.
The dynamic range is the kicker. Automotive cameras are already grayscale to get as much light as possible and not compromise vision at night but its still far inferior to the human eye (and even that is bad! but it's the benchmark Elon chooses).

No surprise then that the vision-only "level 5 autonomous driving" system would want the high beams on...
Same here, been hosting for over a decade now. You do need to be on top of all the latest technologies, and still some problems will arise once in a while. But all in all, it's a pretty smooth operation.
Learning a new language/framework on weekends isn't "work" unless you're billing your employer for the time. It's professional development in a field you care about personally.

I would be learning new languages and frameworks and hacking even if "computer programmer" weren't a profession, same as writing or djing or photography or any other thing I've been doing my whole life.

It sounds like you feel badly for pursuing your passion, which you also have as your profession?

There's no harm in that. I do a bunch of computer shit that has nothing to do with my computer-based revenue generating businesses.

From memory rr has a substantive recording overhead, and is specially made for debugging, right? But yes it is very useful to analyse a past state and to understand a chain of events.

I should clarify my use case: I would use such a feature (go back to previous state) for a speculative execution tool. I'd execute the happy path all the time assuming no error occured, but if I found out later that something went wrong somewhere, I'd want to go back and start from there knowing what went wrong, and so on. With as little perf loss as possible. Not sure my explanation makes sense.

I know about dmtcp, criu, vm snapshots, but they all come with big overhead (I don't want to pay too much for the checkpoint).

The closest I found was @gamozolabs amazing work on snapshot fuzzing (pushing the limit of what's possible on x86_64 hardware, including using Intel PML - similar to userfaultfd but hw-accelerated...).
> Why is google providing account recovery passwords to the general public

It doesn't refer to passwords but email addresses.

And Google doesn't have to provide them even the actual address for them to determine that they are identical, they just need to provide something that maps 1:1 with the email, without the mapping.
Because they had no tv?
Both Google and Facebook have substantial proportions of their revenue from CN based advertisers.
I find the article’s mention of the “static smart speaker mirage” unconvincing. I use Amazon Echo at home and have found its voice recognition and capabilities vastly superior to those of Siri. In my opinion it’s fair to say this is an area where Apple is flat out losing to the competition. I too had assumed the watch or phone would provide all that functionality, but it appears I was mistaken.

I think the major lead Apple has in wearables has to do with ecosystem. I wear and Apple Watch because I want to listen to Apple Music while running. Doing so is clumsy with any other device.
You seem to be projecting. My motorbike always had a street legal exhaust on it and it wasn't particularly loud.

Perhaps you should spend less time worrying about a little bit of noise, especially during daylight hours, presumably on mostly sunny days.

The human eye is a far better sensor in many ways than the CMOS sensors used in cars. They have variable focus lenses, finely controlled irises, and are on gimbaled mounts in the head. They have integrated shades/shutters and cleaning mechanisms. The head itself is on a gimbaled mount which itself can be moved. Attached to the eye mount are inertial sensors, audio sensors, and an accelerometer.

A camera or even a stereo pair of cameras mounted in or on the car will provide inferior imagery to the control system than eyes to the brain. They have less dynamic range and no articulation. If you wanted to replicate human style vision you'd need a bunch of fixed cameras and inertial and acceleration sensors all on top of AI that's better than what Tesla's been demonstrating.

LIDAR is the most straightforward augmentation for fixed cameras because it can build very accurate depth maps and image segmentation. You need fewer fixed cameras if your spacial model is built with LIDAR. You're in even better shape if those systems are augmented with radar.

While humans don't have LIDAR and such, our visual systems are highly developed and augmented with highly developed proprioception. Trying to replicate it with just cameras and tons of processing power is a fool's errand.
Excel achieves its robustness (and it hardly ever crashes) by protecting the user against arithmetic errors, and circular reasoning. Excel doesn't offer infinite precision arithmetic, that is rarely needed in practice.

Null pointers are something that plagues Java, which are primarily caused by having some computation out of sequence. By using the State-Action-Model pattern, most of Beads code will be devoted to rendering the model on the screen, and that one-way transfer of information can be made very robust, provided you have a closed arithmetic, which it does.

I figured. I went down the rabbit hole, prolo, and prolog and hoped it wasn't a pun :-) yes I think backtracking as a general OS mechanism. Since the kernel already knows which pages differ between both processes, and could 'just' plug back any socket, file, shm, pipe 'as is' when 'restoring'. All the state is know to the OS!

Maybe something with ebpf in twelve years...
Not really, it depends on each service provider.

You can imagine each user as a folder in the /var/mail directory, it depends on your implementation to encrypt the folder or not. Gmail encrypts all in-transit e-mails but I cannot find a reference for encrypting on their servers
write your own? many personal tech blogs do this for comment forms and the like. any kind of ambiguity that’s natural for a human to parse accurately but not obvious for a machine is fair game. most bots won’t one-off a solution for smaller sites, so it doesn’t need to be too fancy. for larger ones where one-off customizations might be more likely, lots of engineering resources go toward security and fraud prevention already, so they can afford more sophistication.

but more importantly, in the long term, it needs policy and legal progress. it needs to be costly and international (via treaties/sanctions).
Rumor is that Mahindra is going to introduce Metropolis in the price range of 2.5LacsINR to 3.5 Lacs INR (~5000 USD), Not sure how they are going to manage that(possibly eyeing police force) but at that price it's going to be a deal and unlikely to be matched by other 3-wheelers currently in the Intl. market(In terms of price).

>However, the x86 chip in your laptop and the x86 chip running on your deployment target, probably aren't similar enough to help you reach that goal.

Cross-compiling is still very buggy, code built for ARM on x86 can still just _not work_ correctly when deployed on ARM. In such cases, it really does help that my laptop is running x86. I hope running arm stuff will be similar.
but you can find the main point in 3 seconds - it's in the second line, on it's own, with a symbol beside it. Then I get into the story. You can choose to follow along or not afterward - you've gotten the most important point right away.

> If I have owned a dev and can push code to a branch I can likely execute code in their build environment.

But then you’re also executing that code as a trusted user. Ie the real hack is owning the dev.

> This is how the vast majority of build systems are configured.

No. The vast majority of build systems are either locked to private repositories, and/or a subset of developers, and/or run in an ephemeral sandbox.

> But I do wonder what the cumulative impact of every binary on your system being memory safe would be.

I’d already answered that. It’s negligible because if someone can exploit a buffer overflow in awk then they can already run arbitrary code in awk (remember, awk is a programming language). So if you’re not already taking precautions about who is running what on your build system and how running code is sandboxes then it’s not going to take a buffer overflow bug to RCE it.
Although it seems to go against the spirit of Protonmail and its ethos I'm not exactly sure there are many good options, hcaptcha is the lesser of two evils and a fundamental requirement on the modern web.

Even HN requires a recaptcha if you fail too many times (and it's also based on IP).

If you want to blame anyone blame:

1: The bad actors spamming logins

2: Google for essentially monopolizing captcha

hcaptcha proves there's a market/demand for alternatives, this is HN, if you dislike it, go build a better alternative than Google's and I am sure PM will be only too pleased to switch.

Complaining is easy, actually changing something is more difficult.

(P.S I challenge anyone to deploy a system used by tens of thousands and not have any abuse/rate limiting systems, you'll soon be turning to captcha's at some point)
no, there is a typo in the video. The SDK is the best authority for Beads examples, as those are checked on each build for any errors. We have about 20 sample programs, some large enough to show most of the language features.
As much as I appreciate this comment, it is weird that it floated to the very top when the article is about location tracking built into Android by Google.

Protonmail might have issues, but the threat of some leaked information through javascript and/or cookies (hello google fonts!) can be attributed to literally every site that uses recaptcha whereas the article is talking about a much, much worse practice of tracking physical location constantly and making it difficult or impossible to use your phone without giving that information to Google.

I hope protonmail finds a better way, and agree that it's not in keeping with their stance on privacy, but it is distracting from what Google is actually doing with phones by talking about an entirely unrelated issue.

No offense intended to the parent, the comment is interesting, it's just not about the article at all and yet is the top comment at the time I write this.

Self-balancing e-bike could be helpful in more than one way to those with disabilities, Considering our travel range is on average limited to those without physical limitations I would be happy to charge my bike at home without awkward petrol(gas) station visits.
Well the base salary for the tech stack I was working on at the time was substantially higher. Also I worked in another part of the country and she had spent 20 years working in the same company in a small town in Florida. Honestly there are more reasons why i was paid more then there ever would be to justify why she should have been paid the same. Also my team handled the product that delivered 80% of the companies revenue and 90% of its profits.
I didn't get it till reading this.
I don't really agree. I've owned a Fossil Carlyle 5 smartwatch with WearOS and an Apple Watch 3, and Apple's lead is definitely on the software side of things. I actually really dislike the material build of the Apple watch. The screen is designed to expose as much of the surface area as possible to scuffs and scratches, while the body of the watch feels larger than any other smartwatch I've used. The Apple Watch got hotter than the Fossil, somehow, and the sensor bump is also much more pronounced.

Anyways, it's not like this is up for debate anyhow. Ask any analyst who's watched the industry for the last decade, they'll still tell you that Apple's advantage is in the software world. If iMessage and MacOS were available on other hardware, Apple would be selling two crazy handfuls of nothing to customers. The average consumer doesn't care if their laptop has faulty graphics, a keyboard failing en-masse or soldered storage. They just want the little blue bubble to pop up when they send a message from their computer. Recognizing that, Apple arguably makes more compromises than anyone else in the industry. Their concept of "iteration" really only involves bringing their product to the next most common denominator.
It looks like spreadsheet has the developer’s public email, not their recovery email.
Ok, that symbol though - the > is generally used as a quote symbol in HN, so of course I was confused as to what was being quoted.

I treat each and every Chrome extension as potentially malware, given that there are plenty of instances of legit extensions being sold and repurposed, and Chrome will silently install malware on my machine because of its auto-update-without-asking-or-verifying policy.

Thank you! I was actually considering starting a blog to collect them, glad to see that someone has stepped up and done it already.
I’ve had multiple wearOS watches and switched to the iOS platform in the last year. It’s frankly night and day, for the extra bulk in the wearOS watches you get worse battery life and dismal performance. A lot of the blame can be placed on Qualcomm’s back for not keeping pace with wearable processors. I’m wondering if Google’s Whitechapel and their cooperation with Samsung can improve this at all, but it’s currently a sad state of affairs. Dieter of The Verge and Linus of Linus Tech Tips have made all the same points scattered throughout this thread.
Thank you for explaining here, I really appreciate the work you’re doing and understand the non-trivial work it takes to protect users. While l’d love a Google free experience for PM, I also love having a near zero chance of a brute force attack. I’m a paid PM user and have been using it since the very early beta days. I never see the CAPTCHA on any OS, but I only connect from about 5 different IPs or while using ProtonVPN.

Off topic: please implement font size adjustment capability on iOS!
Yeah, thanks it was my first idea, but then 1) I'd have to re-attach everything to the child process and 2) I'd have to go one step further for every snapshot, right ? If everything goes well and I want to continue, next snapshot I'll have to fork the child process, and so on, no? The idea is to keep a somewhat short (some minutes?) of snapshots.

Thanks for the timetravelpdb link!
It used to be the case that both ProtonMail and FastMail were frequently recommended on HN. So, how is FastMail doing in comparison?
Yeah. The only extensions people should install are uBlock Origin and EFF extensions like Privacy Badger. All others are potential malware.
