fair enough. I do feel like there's almost no evidence the dom is not enough, and I'm hoping custom elements radically rewrites the common mentality for the web, reveals a better truth, (& conjoins with linked-data). I see few limits to what can be done. but I definitely expect change. a lot of change. I just expect it to be intensive, I see the platform as already providing, but we are learning & adapting new systems& new ways to work it.

I definitely am interested in other pro-user systems. to me, I like the dual, the page & the developer tools, but making the objects of the web more real more reified, less bundled deeply in js & actuating more visibly via interactions between elements on the page, begets an understandability & extensibility that folks can wade slowly into, easily. still a seeing behind the curtains system but one we'll get increasingly awesome at onboarding folks onto.

if and only if the "haha the web is now vnc and your dev tools don't work" camp doesn't find the structural support mbers of this wonderful ever giving expedition & blow the whole thing sky high, 'to improve their industrial output.'
I cannot work while stoned - velocity drops to a crawl, and any complexity becomes overwhelming. And dealing with colleagues becomes much more difficult.

I can code with a few drinks in me; in fact the activity of coding seems to reduce the amount I drink (I'm a functioning alcoholic).

It's decades since I drank during working hours. In my early career in the City, it was the custom to drink at lunchtime. Those days are passed.
In the beginning years of the web, a lot of energy was wasted by a substantial amount of the best and brightest: They argued against any commercialisation of the web at all, fighting a battle that could not have been won. Instead these people should have developed models for the RIGHT way of commercialisation, precisely because they had the right sensibilities.

Now some of them (re the OP) seem to come around. A bit late, but I think not too late.
I'm liking the Robert Norton chart about 2/3 of the way down, showing how safety factors need to be adjusted quite radically once we think about how reliable or rickety our estimates might actually be.

Particular kudos to thinking harder about whether we've truly tested the actual environment where our product might be used.

I wish social scientists would do the same in controlled studies of human behavior -- which are then extrapolated to the ways that people make real-world decisions. A particularly vexing examples involves the way that psychology students make decisions in short experiments involving small amounts of money or other rewards. (Endless variations on the "marshmallow test," etc.)

Knowing what a college student will/won't do for a whimsical $5 reward says almost nothing about how an adult on the brink of poverty will balance bigger, more difficult decisions. Yet we apply a 95% confidence level to the college-student experiment and think we've learned something about the power of all financial incentives
That was a great video, thanks for the share!
They indisputably did, though. No fact can be racist.

Not because they're inhuman, of course; that sort of behavior has happened all throughout human history. It's just that, with China in the 20th century, the scale was huge.

Wow, what a terrible interview. It was so bad I thought it must be satire, but apparently it’s real. Andreessen comes across as mind bogglingly ignorant. Who could possibly care what this guy has to say about anything?

HN has guidelines, not rules, and there are times when they can be bent.

For titles, finding (or manufacturing) one that's clearer based on actual article text is a common alternative. I've suggested "Chinese paddlefish has gone extinct due to overfishing and dams" to the moderators. (Much of that phrase occurs within the article.)
My uncle flew Cobra helicopters in Vietnam and the us developed a new anti air system and he was supposed to fly against it to demo its effectiveness. I don’t recall the story well but he flew nap of the earth and in a certain manner he knew would counter the aa system and embarrassed the hell out of the bluefor test team and engineers who said he cheated. A friend in the army did an excercise at Bragg where Special forces made him and the other guys attached into opposing force to hunt them down. My friend and his team circled back from the trucks and climbed in the bed and when the sf got tired of looking for them and came back to the truck my friend popped out from under a tarp and simulated kill with miles gear and they said he cheated as well. I guess there are a lot of egos and sore losers in the military throughout history.
I am not involved at all in our sales department, and I have no interest in being identified, so I can't offer much more. We do have some very large customers, although we are not always a large account for them. But maybe you misunderstood - all our customers want "classical" audience targeting, to the point they're refusing contextual offerings even as GDPR regulations and technology changes make the audience-based products ever less efficient. If they want anything besides that, it's cohorts, which they don't really understand but see as a way to do targeting magically with storing cookies. If they want anything besides that, it's some BI assistance e.g. uplift models. Contextual is absolute last in line.
Oh haha nice!
Sort of. OGS is the Lichess of the English-speaking world certainly. There are several much larger servers if you speak Korean/Japanese/Chinese, but they also have less in common with Lichess.
So far, the only dictionary I see with any hint at the etymology (apart from saying it's cut + over) is Wiktionary.

From: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cutover

3. The process of quickly replacing a telephone switchboard, in which the connections are duplicated to the new machine and the original connections are then suddenly disconnected.

1913: Bell Telephone News, vol. 2, no. 7, page 18:

> After the heat coils were pulled on the old main frame, the remaining step was merely to pull the wooden plugs on the new switchboard by the strings attached to them (which are bunched together) upon a signal given from the old terminal room, indicating the removal of the heat coils above mentioned. By this means the cut-over was accomplished almost momentarily, the process occupying not over two seconds’ time.

Surprisingly, many dictionaries don't have this sense of the word at all.

EDIT 1: Changed the dictionary from Wordsense to Wiktionary since that's where they were getting it from.

EDIT 2: Interestingly, articles in "Bell Telephone News" also use the term "cut into service":

> Two telephone exchanges which the Western Electric Company has been installing in Pekin, China, were cut into service on April 2

> In June, 1910, the second unit (Belmont) B board was cut into service

> Cut-Over at Watertown - The New York Telephone Company's new exchange at Watertown, NY, has been cut into service.

I wonder if "cut into" refers to splicing. Or, it could just be that "cut into" naturally emerged because "cut over" didn't adequately capture the case where no previous connection existed.
So where do I go?
To who? To achieve what? Etc. while your statement is accurate it doesn’t scope it such that this is a fair argument to make.

Sure, cryptocurrency is not a great payment method or currency today. That does not mean it is not useful from day one, it just means that use case was not from day one. There have been technical advancements that people are using from crypto currencies. It may not be what you feel is useful, but some do.
Aren't all the major bridges in New York built with ridiculous safety factors? It's why these century old bridges built for carriages and small trucks in a city of a million, can deal with 2021?

Building a job board with social impact, one month in
Well, in retrospect it's easy to say that air power is the future and battleships are obsolete. But with the information available at the time, I don't think it really was that clear back in 1932. Back then, no capital ship had been sunk let alone been severely damaged(?) by aircraft. Aircraft, and in particular naval aircraft, at the time were flimsy biplanes, with monoplanes slowly entering the scene. Sinking a battleship with those? Pfft, entirely reasonably people said.

I mean, put yourself into the hypothetical supreme naval planner of, say, the US or Japan at the time. Are you really going to gamble your entire nations (or empires, if you will) capability to project force overseas on the notion that air power is the future and battleships are obsolete? If you're wrong, the enemy battleship fleet will just shrug off your feeble aerial attacks and proceed to crush your navy and conquer your overseas assets.

So in that sense it's no surprise that both USN and IJN built both battleships and carriers. And at least the US kept building them long after Pearl Harbor (though the Iowas were all ordered before Pearl Harbor, but they weren't cancelled in favor of carriers or converted into such either).
Could it work on a live amp like the Kemper or a quad cortex? And can the models be exported and shared?

Because if those two things were squared away, I could see this being an extremely viable project.
This scrap-and-build approach is a quirk of the Japanese housing market that can be explained variously by low-quality construction to quickly meet demand after the second world war, repeated building code revisions to improve earthquake resilience and a cycle of poor maintenance due to the lack of any incentive to make homes marketable for resale.
The post qualified as <= 10,000,000 total records. For that number of records, there's about a chance of about 0.00001 that you get a collision, assuming good randomness.
It was probably the 'dont' title that was off-putting. Using base58 makes good sense and even applies in URLs if using 128-bit UUIDs internally.
in my experience, fb ads are a mixed bag. they tend to give you the illusion of control without the commensurate results, converting at a noticeably lower rate. sometimes prices are low enough to compensate for the lower conversion, but not usually.

though it might be changing with the normalization of the fb marketplace, folks aren't usually looking for the things that require advertising inducement on facebook, so there's a significant intent/context mismatch.

The google shakedown- "It'd be terrible if ya know Lyft, got that top spot..."
I've implemented temporal anti-aliasing, and done poorly it can leave ghosting artifacts, but done well it's like magic how much more detail you can get out of a scene using this technique. There's a really excellent GDQ talk about this by the makers of Killzone: Shadow Fall, and it's like night and day how much they were able to improve volumetrics using temporal stabilization, and for their split-screen multiplayer they basically use it to upsample a half-resolution image with very good fidelity.

With AA it's a little easier, because you can just throw away accumulation data if the new pixel is too far away from the last frame's result, and you might get momentary aliasing but without ghosting. With RT it's a little harder, because that bounce lighting information actually needs a few frames to exist at all.
Agreed, I don't understand why anyone reaches for uuid v4; it's the dumbest thing out there that sees regular use for no reason whatsoever. The number of developers who reach for uuid v4 is scary; I swear they don't understand what it contains, or care to think critically about their use case. The worst is reading about using uuid v4 for "offline client-side ID generation", such that any client can fixate object IDs that wind up in the server's database, and in fact are likely NOT unique if you have nefarious clients purposely generating duplicates client-side.

There is also no reason to give up 6 reserved bits of a uuid v4's 128 bits (it's only 122 random bits + 6 bits of unnecessary version info). If you want random IDs, make your own. Simply generate 16 bytes of raw data; or combine two random 64-bit integers; or combine a timestamp prefix with random bytes at the end. Your needs probably don't warrant exactly 128 (well, 122 bits) that uuid v4 gives anyway, so you can customize to a specific number of bits. You can also use base62 (0-9, A-Z, a-z) or base64 instead of hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) to reduce the number of displayed characters (eg. in URLs), while omitting the stupid hyphens of a uuid too.

tldr; uuid v4 shouldn't even exist, and certainly should not be used unless integrating with pre-existing systems.
The loose industry term for this is “plot armor” [1]. There is no explicitly stated reason for the hero(es) being nigh invincible (be it person, spaceship, car, etc.). The only reason why the character survives is that it has a reason to continue existing for sake of the plot.

So yes, I suppose you can rationalize in your head that most ships are made out of super strong materials in science fiction, but unless that’s clearly laid out, you may just be rationalizing writer’s convenience.

Odd that they aren’t more specific than saying she was arrested on “serious” drug charges. Depending on who you ask, that could be anything from possession to trafficking. Sure, that’s not what the article is about, but leaving it so vague just make the absence of that information stand out.

Also, the story here really just seems to be this: police poorly but lawfully install tracking device on car, owner of car removes it, and police demand it back. Then they discuss a previous case where they court said it wasn’t theft to remove the device.

I’m not sure there is much of a story here.
Now that's impressive. Seeing the dog picture scale out is encouraging. All the LOD algorithms do a good job on rocks. It's all repeated instances of one object, though. I'd like to see someone load in a big game level at high res and give us a tour.

Quadric mesh reduction, where the algorithm tries to minimize the volume difference between original and reduce geometry, does great on rocks. Terrible on thin sheets like cloth or long thin things like hair. Mediocre on objects with lots of hard edges, like houses.

I've been trying to run the UE5 Early Access version on Linux. Building UE5 Editor worked, and I built and ran one of the built-in sample projects. But the files for the demo are only available for download via Epic Game Loader, which is only available as a 32-bit Windows program. Trying to run that under Wine leads to a popup complaining some DLL is missing. But it doesn't tell you which one. Some people have been able to get it to work, probably depending on what Windows DLLs they happen to have installed.

Trying to run Nanite on Linux produces a line of red text saying that the machine doesn't have a supported graphics card or driver. This is with a NVidia 3070 with the current NVidia driver on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which is about as good as it gets today.

It's a typical "we tossed the Linux users a crumb" port. Well, it's early access. Filed all the appropriate bug reports.
> Unless... that person (who grabbed you while you are walking down an alley one night) is a police officer

You see, this is the wonder of due process. In a mostly-reasonable jurisdiction, police officers are required to, first and foremost and at the very least, identify themselves clearly as law-enforcement, and with that carries the implicit suggestion that "you need to cooperate and not fight back". No identification and they might as well have arrested you without reading you your Miranda rights.

> Police officers in America, and most other countries, need to adhere to a completely different and much more lax set of rules than most people

I wouldn't call it lax but I'd settle for slightly different. Of course, a lot can be said about abuses of this "privilege to be different", which is maybe why observers would say law-enforcement is held to a relaxed standard.

It is different but not lax because:

- ordinary citizens can't break down doors into private property but law-enforcement can if they have probable cause (Have you watched Breaking Bad?) or a search warrant. Good luck obtaining a search warrant as an ordinary citizen, if that's even possible.

- ordinary citizens are not ever expected to result to fisticuffs and if they do so, they would face fees or even jail. But law-enforcement can do so except there's gonna be a fuck ton of paper work afterwards and, should their reason for resorting to force be successfully challenged, face suspension or dismissal but hardly ever fees or jail time.

Of course the MOST IMPORTANT caveats here are (a) law varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, even for reasonably-democratic territories and (b) this is HN playing r/legaladvice, which is fun but not as productive IMO.
Some info, yes. Definitely conclusive? I don't think so. It can be ie in form of my name & passport number. Which after changing the passport can suddenly point to number of persons from my area.

Even if it includes my address (which I highly doubt), it will be different than it was 10 years ago.

Eventually, they'll get there. But I am fairly certain today they are not there and they don't bother for average Joe anyway. For me personally, the experience, especially in hindsight for what it offered, was/is well worth this minimal risk.
Huh, TIL...

Looking at some sources the issue seems to be fairly complex, however it does indeed seem fairly easy relative to other countries like Canada to gain Japanese citizenship (though very few apply).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Japan#Immigrant...

Looking at this and other citizenship guides, the main requirements seem to be that:

1. You live and work in Japan for 5 years (not counting student visas)

2. Are the age of majority in your country and over 20

3. Have not broken any laws while in Japan

4. Are able to support yourself financially and are willing to renounce other citizenships

It seems that about 90% of people that apply for naturalization are accepted. Yet less than ~10,000 are accepted every year, so applying for citizenship seems unpopular relative to other G7 countries.

Neat. I wonder why I was so certain that immigration was next to impossible and only visas were granted?
I haven't heard of an aqueduct here in the United States capable of carrying boat traffic. I think of aqueducts here as only part of drinking water or irrigation water systems, like the California Aqueduct which brings water from Northern California to Southern California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Aqueduct

I don't think of them as parts of navigable waterways!

Edit: Apparently there are some, mainly on the Erie and Chesapeake and Ohio canals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Navigable_aqueducts_i...

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Canal_aqueducts_...

The Erie Canal is still operating along with some of its aqueducts, while the Chesapeake and Ohio canal has been shut down and it seems most of its aqueducts are no longer maintained or operational.

I don't think I ever knew about that. Maybe it's better-known to people who live in the vicinity of those canals?

Artificial navigable waterways are a lot more pervasive in the Netherlands than here. :-) Maybe partly because the U.S. is a lot hillier.

Saying this up front, as an American, I believe we were lied to and misled in lead up to the invasion of Iraq, and someone should have gone to jail for that.

That said, this statement isn’t quite this simple, “ they were not sufficient to occupy the country in a way that stopped it descending into chaos.” The US administration made a decision to disband the Iraqi military and it’s other paramilitary forces. That meant that all existing structure for maintaining order in the country was lost. By doing this, it necessitated a large occupation force, that never was created, and only made the US more hated there.

Look at the occupations of Germany and Japan after WWII and it’s a very different outcome and one where existing systems were left in place to help maintain an orderly transition.
I think you’re mostly addressing issues of user experience. Let me put it this way, just for sake of simplicity, assume all the system did was keep a set of instructions to be read by your loved ones upon your death. The instructions could be to contact your lawyer for a copy of your will, or to delete your porn hard drive, or to deliver a letter to your child etc. Forgot about estate law and those complications. Forgot whether you think there is a need for this service. Assume that you do. What matters for my purpose is that you need to trust this service to keep your info for longer than you will live, and to make that info available to the people you specified when you die.
What would make you trust this system with these all important instructions? How could this company set itself up that will make it certain to deliver its promise?
Immigration doesn't imply permanency. Indeed, most migrants don't aim for permanent residency.

There is a widespread idea to count permanent migrants only, but in practice, that's impossible to determine in the first place, and has no tangible consequences either.

Think about undocumented migrants, who do not have the right to abode, permanent or otherwise. Think about nations that don't offer permanent residency to newly arriving immigrants, or at all. Think about people who already have the right to abode (e.g. a citizen of Ireland in the UK) - are they immigrants without setting foot in the country?

Tying migration to a permanent status just doesn't make sense. Indeed, the UN Migration Agency (IOM) defines a migrant as:

> any person who is moving or has moved across an international border or within a State away from his/her habitual place of residence, regardless of

(1) the person’s legal status;

(2) whether the movement is voluntary or involuntary;

(3) what the causes for the movement are; or

(4) what the length of the stay is.

She didn't have to click "I agree" on a giant pop-up model explaining tracking policy? I bet they even have trackers on their website too.

And how is it that they can justify trying up multiple people to attach the device, but not to track the thing and pick it up?

Interesting the comments mentioning they would keep it. If the police are showing up at my door looking angry and asking for their stuff back, I'm not going to argue.
UUIDs are great when you use the id "publicly" but using an incremental value would be too revealing for different reasons.

So it's good to know that performances are not bad.
