Hi, as someone interested in both ML and fashion, this is pretty cool!

How are you addressing the idiosyncrasies of how clothing can fit differently? Personally, I like wearing a variety of different fits (slim/boxy/etc).

From your demo, it seems like the model is learning a single type of fit (the average of your training data?) and then mapping a texture + details onto this single fit.

In physical reality, the fit of a garment is obviously affected by both body type and garment measurements (as alluded to in other comments). Data quality (e.g., consistent scale and angle) also would be important. I imagine that because of these factors, the fit estimation problem is very challenging.

Best of luck with these interesting challenges!
Anecdotally I've observed older people around me who retire early for various reason have much earlier decline in both mental and physical health. Where as the ones that work until much older age tends to be healthier. And it does seem causal too, since the decline doesn't happen until years after retirement.

For example, many of my aunts and uncles that retired around 55 - 60 are / were having many health issues some have experienced decline in mental sharpness. Where as my grand parents who worked on the farm until into the 70s were fairly healthy until towards the end of their lives.
Natural gas fired peaker plants will continue to be a crucial part of our electrical system indefinitely. They allow generation to be rapidly spun up and down to stabilize the grid; other generation sources can't react as quickly, or sometimes can't react at all. And natural gas isn't very dirty.
It depends on your needs. I still have some big plastics for step-in crampons so my single-layer winter boots are just some mild duty Merrell's (in maybe wide?--which is what I need in some circumstances). Just go to an REI or another more specialty store and try some on with winter-type socks.

Honestly not sure of the best recommendations these days. And depends if you go above treeline and/or do winter backpacks.
They are very practical in the extreme cold, they will keep you close to 0C/32F when its -30 outside.
It will effectively replace ACH for <$25k transactions (larger amounts can traverse FedWire), although the intent was to offer a public infrastructure option to commercial banks to prevent The Clearing House’s RTP real time payment rails (“Zelle” from Early Warning Systems runs on these rails) from becoming a monopoly, possibly gating smaller banks and credit unions from a competitive deposit account feature.
I've never really had a problem staying warm winter camping - even around zero degrees. The key is a warm mummy sleeping bag and a small tent. The air in the tent is basically insulation, and in a small tent your body heat keeps it pretty warm. Use the mummy bag properly and you might even get too hot and need to unzip it a little.
I would be beyond surprised if trans porn was a significant factor in peoples' decision to transition.
So much this. I was in that beautiful space where schools experimented with CNA and A+ cert programs that set me in the generalized basics of how to escape from proprietary stacks.
> Why not have a berm in the rear area that's designated for sighting in rifles?

Because they're using fixed (non-floating) barrels and they need to re-zero in the field and can't get back to a rear area to do that.

He does claim to be Korean royalty, so this checks out.
> The fact is material and pertinent.

The comment would potentially be much more valuable if, besides the bare fact, it made the case for how/why that fact should be given weight in the context of the instant article. (I can't judge whether it would or not without the content of that argument, but it at least has potential.)

> Whether you AGREE with my assessment that, no they are not a good faith actor, is perhaps an open question.

Whether or not I agree with that is tangential to whether I would agree that pointing one fact forming (I hope only part of) the basis of that assessment with no further elaboration of its relevance to the immediate subject of discussion is a contribution up to the minimum quality standards expected on HN.
I agree. I think one way to demonstrate that is to consider a particularly contentious debate. Say, the Palestine-Israel conflict. If you're on the side of Palestine, agreeing with Israel only leads to more death and hate. If you're on the side of Israel, agreeing with Palestine only leads to more death and hate. The center doesn't know what to think-- it's complicated but it definitely needs to end. So the centrist point is almost pointless. If your on either end, then they are simply protecting injustice. Same thing with people who were lukewarm about civil rights. The ones who said "yeah blacks should get rights but there are a lot of people against it that deserve a say" we now look at as wrong. In a task life scenario, necessity sometimes demands a choice be made
$300/month would be tough for me but maybe doable. At $10/day, you're having peanut butter, tortillas, and mashed potatoes for just about every dinner (maybe tuna and ramen sometimes?); you're only rarely staying in hotels or hostels; and if you're getting a ride somewhere, it's from a trail angel, never a taxi or a shuttle.

It's possible but I really enjoy getting into town and having a real meal. Everyone hikes their own hike.
I mentioned it in another comment, but if this is the case it feels like calling the movement a “great resignation” is a bit misleading, as a more appropriate label would be a “great company switching”
Yep. There's probably a function that describes this. Since I started experimenting in games development and design, I've learned that ideas are like a daily crossword puzzle (or a similar analogy).

Start small.

You can write it down.

You don't have to finish it (now).

You should probably throw it away after a week.

Over time, you're more likely to find a different permutation of ideas that you had not considered before.

I see this criticism often, but the program focuses a lot on proper form, starting with relatively light weights, and only increasing weights when you can complete all sets, so I don't really agree with it.

However, I do agree that if you want to get just a bit more in shape, a simpler program without barbell compounds is a better choice. I was assuming that the grandparent wanted to get into weightlifting, as most people in my age group mean that when they talk about wanting to get fitter.

Yup, and it's worse if you're on the US west coast, where it becomes 9 hours (10 to eastern Europe), and then any synchronous meeting means one party gets up early or the other stays late.

My intuition is that a max of 3 or 4 time zones is the sweet spot, but it's cool to hear that you've had success up to 6.

Austin has terrible housing prices (and likely the same for office space). Miami is hot as balls (I assume), and is fairly tourist focused. Plus who knows how long it will stay above the water line.

But in reality, start a business where you are, and move it to be closer to your customers, suppliers, or employees.
"not even a pet" is a level all on its own.

If it is a pet, an extra hundred to couple hundred dollars is not much compared to all the other costs of moving. Just vaccinations and neutering could be as much for a replacement.
Not to mention the possibility of a widely deployed moderation bot being used to attack the servers/channels they're running on, en masse.
During the civil rights era, there were people that said "yeah I don't like racism but it's people choice to ban blacks from their businesses. I totally empathize with you it's awful, but over turning freedom would be more awful"
I think very few people know to lubricate their zippers, however. Honestly, it's something I've never heard of.
It was also fast, used quite minimal amount of resources even when there was a lot of diagrams included. Did I mention fast? Sure, generating an index could take a while - on PIO3/PIO4 drive with 486.

Cheers. What I’d like to find is something that’s zero-lift, warm enough for zero-degree weather, and handles ice well (your mention of silicone-based nubbies is what caught my eye). Kind of a niche (maybe impossible?) product, but my sandals don’t do me so well in the snow :)

You’re grasping at straws to support a failed technology.

Tell that to the Finns or French.

You're linking me "can do" articles. The industry itself states there's not enough data:

https://iea-pvps.org/key-topics/lci-of-current-european-pv-r...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) installations must be properly dismantled and any waste treated and disposed at the end of project life. However, because most of the world’s nearly 400 GW of PV systems have been built in the past decade – each expected to operate for between 20 and 30 years – current PV module waste volumes do not yet justify widespread operation of PV recycling facilities.

It is indeed an unfair comparison, because there's not enough data to compare.

I don't see anywhere where the cost of all of this is factored into solar/wind. Neither can you, because probably no one knows at this point.
> I'm not begging for donations

No, you’re begging for free access to millions of users to do whatever you want with them. Which Android/Windows/Linux will happily give you.
The open source user they're referring to is the package creator, not the package installer. The package creator takes responsibility for the software they package. I sure hope they check the diff. I certainly do for the packages I maintain.
If you've decided that you trust the "firewall or other device", perhaps because you purchased it, or because doing so is a condition of employment, then you get to keep both halves.

If the "firewall or other device" tries to interpose when you don't trust it, that won't work, for the same reason it doesn't work for bad guys. We do not distinguish the apparent reason for attempts to destroy the confidentiality, integrity or authenticity promises in TLS, whatever the apparent motive your HTTP transaction will either work, delivering those promises or you get an error and no progress is made.
> I think the problem is if you use a self-signed certificate, the web browser tells you this is a grave concern. In order to avoid this issue, ACME requires your web server to communicate with an external service provider to sign the certificate. But now you're dependent on Lets Encrypt being able to access your server!

Not necessarily, you can use lego client with dns01 challenge. This is how I issue certificates for local services running with dnsmasq or hosts file.

Quit my sales job cold turkey. I'm in the enviable position of a having a large bank account and and setting my sights on reading more and creating a business. There are challenges ahead that is to be sure but the significant weight on my shoulders has been lifted.

I got so tired of the micromanagement and constant pressure from Management to meet production standards, that I couldn't take it anymore.
There's a lot of tech nostalgia for old software. Just for fun is plenty reason enough. I also bet there are people out there who prefer it. I wonder if it is snappier than Word? I just opened MS Word on a recent Mac and it took 5-7 seconds to open to a blank document, including requiring me to choose an option and click through first. Just saying.
Surly made a couple bike you could put fat tires on - their touring bike and a cyclocross bike. I don’t know if they’re still available but they were selling them in the mid-2000s
Absolutely, Jan isn't the only one running some numbers, nor the most objective / consistent. Here are two sets of better measurements on a range of sizes of a single tire model, on the same wheel, over a range of pressures, with precise measurements of critical factors like tread depth, sidewall thickness, tread thickness, real world actual width, and actual rolling resistance measured in watts:

https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/specials/conti-gp40...

https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/specials/schwalbe-m...

So, wider tires mean you can run a comfier lower pressure at the same rolling resistance. Looking through the rest of this site, it's also super clear that there are far more significant factors to rolling resistance than width. It's practically criminal this site doesn't get tons of attention!

That's a test file.
Two words: Reveal Codes.

Have you ever moved your cursor and started typing, only to find out that suddenly you were typing in BOLD? That's due to some bold code left behind from earlier in the edit. In WordPerfect you could press F11 to Reveal all the Codes, delete the bold code, and move on with your day.
> The center doesn't know what to think

On the I-P and the way you've framed it, there centrist-on-this-question positions that don’t meet that description, e.g.:

“both Israel and various entities on the Palestinian side have engage in, and continue to engage in, actions which are intolerable and not excused by abuses on the other side The international community should cease aid to all offending parties so long as that continues, while engaging in dialogue aimed to a more complete resolution, with readiness to commit substantial resources to support a peaceful resolution.
And quite a bit of the money they spend comes from companies trying to sell gear to hobbyists. It's a rather wild mix between ride what makes you fast and ride to pretend that it makes you fast.

WP is and was wicked fast, and the blank screen, distraction free ui is amazing, the macro language is very powerful also.

There were law firms that used it well into the late 90s due to the amazing macros they had going. Think of the complicated Excel macros one hears about. Same thing, only with law firms and lawyers.

There are still people who run wordstar (which WP supplanted in the eighties).

I wouldn’t use it now, but is was an amazing product in its day.
Try Abiword.
Monetary policy should be implemented to make those investment opportunities more attractive than holding half a trillion dollars on a commercial bank’s balance sheet. Negative interest rate policy comes to mind.

Central banks don’t confiscate your fiat, they use policy to strongly encourage desired behavior.

This can be an underrated feature of software, although I feel like we're getting better at it. I remember being so frustrated with guides to using software back in the early 00s where part of the guide would be reconfiguring default settings. It always seemed to be a sign of sub-par quality software.

Ignoring Tech. Energy, Telco, Retail and Banking are all concentrated in a few companies in US. Comparing it to EUR you see it is spread across at least dozens of companies. Some of them private. ( like Ikea )

Unfortunately the list doesn't allow you to sort by Industry. But you can easily see larger number of Top 100 are Tech companies. Nearly Half of the Top 20 are Tech companies if you include Tesla.

Then there is the Tech / US stock market value differential.

So EUR aren't really doing that bad. Not to mention half of your 5G equipment are from EUR. Ericsson and Nokia which has a low market cap but fairly high importance.

I am not an Open Source advocate by any definition. As much matter of fact I think I prefer to use something like Shared Source as in Unreal Engine. But anyway since tech will be the infrastructure of any modern society, I would not be surprised if one day, OS, and basic form of Software are all Open Source.

> Why such a big issue now all of a sudden

Part of the issue is that the league wide batting average is at a historical low, and almost every game is turning into a pitching duel to see who gives up the least amount of home runs. This leads to some incredibly dull games, which isnt what the MLB wants.
I still occasionally use WordPerfect on my PS/2 when I want to get serious writing done. I don't have any multitasking set up, just plain DOS, so no internet or other distractions to occupy my time.

>Do we want to punish regular people that happened to have some of that stock but didn't have any inkling of what was going on?

Sure, why not? The market has been doing this itself every 10 years or so for a long time. It'd be just another form of bankruptcy. I have to say that it's truly odd to see someone lamenting a company going out of business on HN.

I'm going to ignore the special pleading of "30K employees" and Walmart and the yada yada of extreme examples. Do those companies do what Moviepass did? Was Apple sufficiently punished in their wage-collusion case? I'd say no to both.

Corporate malfeasance is essentially legal, at least in the US.
Too big in capacity. My favorite backpack hat around 24l. I guess I could travel with this pack for 10 years. This gives you an Idea. (no tent of cause)

There was a EU based, tiny equipment manufacturer that actually produced backpacks for very tall people. I had some contacts in travel related business that could have brought it back on track. I asked if the owner is willing to let me buy into the business (I was interested in other niche products in his business) but he preferred to close it down.
