Turning off autoplay is helpful, but it'd still be nice for it to not shrink the credits to try to entice me to watch something else.

Almost as bad as when I went to the cinema recently and the projector turned off when the end credits started scrolling. Ugh, turns out there was a mid credits scene I missed too.
I have something like "es-ar, es, en, en-us". Probably if the first one is not English or a version of it, the site default to Czech.
I think you’re conflating cultural phenomenon (people like to dissociate by losing themselves in consumption) with biological fact.

Humans 10,000 years ago may have spaced out and daydreamed. But this daydreaming was probably very different in psychological effect from scrolling feeds. The two are not even close to the same
I don't actually see anywhere that they claim to be open source?
Super cool, congratulations! This was an excellent reminder of just how difficult and multi-faceted the decisions made during COVID were for legislators. Obviously neither extreme (close everything vs open everyhing) was ever going to be satisfied with any government's response, but I think this made me appreciate the impossibility of managing a pandemic even more.
The hitting a child with a belt is a weird analogy. I don't think it's as acceptable as you think it was. Yes we all probably experienced it growing up, but how many times do you see a child given the belt in public? Did you ever see someone walk up to a parent with a crying child and ask 'why haven't you given them a flogging? You can use my belt if you want'. It's always done behind closed doors out view. An adult hitting child is always likely to spur negative emotions in people and opinions are likely to change.

That is completely different to kids in cars, there wont be a time where we will decide 'Hey maybe leaving them in the car is better.', it just wont happen.

Society views always change, that should be obvious to anyone. Events that shock people change the way we think about certain situations. Kids dying in cars as hot as oven's is one of them.
This doesn’t need a treatise. You know it when you see it, and if multiple people on your team disagree, for whatever reason, it’s definitely not a microservice.

For gphotos at least, could I not just put them in an album that's shareable by link and then paste that link into Runway for it to ingest from? There'd still be an "upload" stage, of course, but not involving someone's home internet.

Ha, yes, that's what I thought initially as well. I believe the only valid possibility would be that in claiming to apply the license to the work, ST has actually failed to apply the license to the work, so all purported licenses to the work were actually invalid. Similarly if I have a license text which simply says "you may do whatever you want with the work, except that you may not receive, use, or distribute the work under the terms of this license" that's just ... a failed license.

The problem is that the ULL is actually not an open source license anyway, and this became apparent when I gave it a closer reading:

> The recipient will not take any action that jeopardizes STMicroelectronics and its licensors' proprietary rights

This appears to make political lobbying to abolish intellectual property a violation of the terms of the license, putting it in probable violation of the OSI Definition item 5: "No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups"

> This software or any part thereof, including modifications and/or derivative works of this software, must be used and execute solely and exclusively on or in combination with a microcontroller or microprocessor device manufactured by or for STMicroelectronics.

This is a clear violation of the OSI Definition item 10: "License Must Be Technology-Neutral" and item 6: "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor".

So unfortunately you don't get the fun paradox like I initially thought, because the license is clearly not an open source license even without the "no open source" clause.
Can you explain why you'd attribute this to imperialism? Seems to me that women are finally fighting back, after taking shit from the extreme Islamists for too long. Similar scenes were seen when Kurdish women took up arms against ISIS.

My reading of the Culture novels is that the Minds basically regard the non-Minds in their society as pets or curiosities. The society itself is basically that of the Minds, as no other participants really have the capacity to interface with them on that level.
I don't see why they wouldn't. This seems to be entirely caused by a South Korean law that has nothing to do with intellectual property.
>Consider avoiding the use of stuff you don't control for important things. Be conscious when consuming free candy from a for-profit entity, even if you think your interests are currently aligned. But don't force anybody's hand.

This is excellent advice, but it doesn't help all the people who are not even in the same league as this idea, who are just making their way through the landscape using whatever they come across to not get herded further into the vortex of asshole walled gardens.

First Vietnam, now Afghanistan. The wealthiest nation with the most powerful military was bested twice by a passionate local force that played the long-game. Iraq is not exactly going well either.

I'm glad that America can return to its isolationist roots and stop policing the world. Export culture, not troops. You simply can't force a country to act the way you want using a military invasion.

If Afghani women want freedoms, I'm glad they are fighting for it themselves. It makes it significantly more authentic (perhaps the only way it can be treated authentically) and will give the Taliban far more pause than the US forcing them to respect women at gunpoint.
Synthetic Aperture Virtual Focus photography. I was inspired by Mark Levoy of Stanford who had an array of 128 video cameras that he could combine/align the images from to generate a virtual focal plane. His demo showed focus on subjects at various distances in front of some shrubbery, then the subject otherwise obscured by the shrubbery.

I did a lot of things with my 1 camera, and many photos from slightly different view points, aligning them manually using Hugin (the open source panorama tool) and a small python script.

I got written up in a magazine in Germany once. I also made contact with a few others doing similar things.

If we just apply some of what we have learned about WFH in knowledge professions to, ironically, another knowledge profession (students), we can can easily see how physical attendance can be a distraction.

If a lot of kids are behind, or struggling, dealing with the social aspects of school (do you fit in? Do you have friends?) and rigor of work (wake up at 8am, power through a 8 hour a day, 40 min lunch break), then there’s no point in saddling them with that extra burden.

We don’t give kids the flexibility that we ourselves need to distance ourself and focus on things from time to time. When you don’t provide that, they will do what all of us do, disassociate and approach things in a ‘whatever, life sucks’ way.

That person has weird definition of "golden handcuffs" that that does not match the common meaning of the word. Investopedia says it well [0]

> Golden handcuffs are a collection of financial incentives that are intended to encourage employees to remain with a company for a stipulated period of time.

The last part, "stipulated period of time", is the key. The salary or perks that you get every month do not count as "golden handcuffs". The stock grants that vest over two years are. The most famous / egregious example are Uber's non-transferable options [1] -- you get millions of dollars but only if you stay with the company until IPO.

> I'm not saying Google makes horrible offers, but I'm not sure how their recruiters marketing matches up with their internal calculations of target comp. I have read complaints on blind that Google is using it to show higher first year offers or to compete with other offers.

I can certainly believe this, lots of companies play games to make first-year comp look higher, I certainly don't put it past my employer.

What I'm describing however, isn't anything to do with external hiring, its a common complaint made by existing google employees about how they feel comp drops in year 5. I agree with you that its not totally rational, but people aren't totally rational, and it wouldn't at all surprise me if doing something like this improved retention past the 4 year mark (but it also wouldn't surprise me if the better year 1 comp makes Google appear more competitive with Facebook. Two birds or something).

And yes, you should absolutely compare stock refreshes (if you can get data) when comparing offers! FWIW, I have no clue if Google's are particularly good or not.
“ There's no magic bullet, but the basic process is lots and lots of documents.”

That’s probably it. My company has systems engineers and even in relatively small projects you often have inconsistent and incomplete requirements. It’s one thing to design a piece of hardware but you also need to track how logistics and other factors have an impact on the system. So you need a lot of people who constantly check these changes.
I believe you meant to say "of course, they are not extremely smart at computers like me, so they do not deserve to live". Don't worry, everyone posting here agrees with you!

I don’t like it either but in regulated industries like space, medical or aerospace it seems the only way to manage things in a controlled way.
One thing I ve been painfully working on is upgrades as well. We have, in our bank, 2 system, one to trade with exchange automatically, one to approve short sells based on various inventories.

Both are built as micro services, with various robots talking to each other, optimized at the sub millisecond response time. It works.

But the difference is one has a release/repository organization based on each individual service, the other is deployed as a monolith with all robots all redeployed.

The system with split releases is barely maintanable, bugs appear in one version of a shared dependencies and we cant upgrade all robots without a mind blowingly complex procedure, regression tests etc. It s sometimes impossible and bugs are worked around up or downstream.

The monolithically deployed system is a breeze, we can fix an issue in a dependency and all robots benefit the next week.

There's no difference technically except in the minds and cultures of the team that in one system it s too hard to deploy everything and in the other it s mass redeployed every week.

1500W! Wow, that’s a lot, especially compared with the limits of lower frequencies like 1W or 5W.

On the 630 metres frequencies:

> 5 W EIRP maximum, except in Alaska within 496 miles of Russia where the power limit is 1 W EIRP.

Wonder where that weird distance came from. 496 miles ≈ 798.2km, so it’s just below what I’d expect to be chosen as a round number, whether defined in miles or kilometres.

Strongly agree. When functionality is in the same service, you can have logs with a reasonable sequence, a shared clock, stack traces, cache consistency, fewer failure points, one commit atomically updates both ends of an interface, etc. Since modularity is lower overhead, you encourage breaking things into smaller pieces with libraries. You can have softer API contracts which enable deleting old code and faster iteration.

Turning all software into a distributed system and solving the above problems isn't free, and your productivity is better spent elsewhere unless there's a payoff.

Smaller units of deployment, being isolated from implementation changes, etc. are all valuable, but more so across teams than within a team.

Voting and drinking ages used to both be 21. Notably, around 1969-1971 during the height of the Vietnam draft, 30 states lowered their drinking and voting ages to 18. Most of these went back to a drinking age of 21 by the early 1980s, but voting remained at 18. It was directly due to pressure from the anti-war movement.

I'm building this! Minus the "computational methods" magic... Because as someone has already commented, there are significant issues with just merging the telescope data together with computational magic.

With the advent of SpaceX's Starship providing a 100% (and the 100% is crucial to the economics of this project) reusability there is significant potential to reduce many of the costs that normally increase the price of a satellite. From not throwing away a $10,000 PPOD (cubesat deployer) to the myriad cost savings available when you know the next flight is cheap and you don't need to buy a $500 part, where a $50 or even $5 part would do the job, due to the different risk profile in many smaller satellites, compared to a few larger ones.

> Instead of building one huge short life-span spacecraft, why not launch hundreds or thousands of lower cost, less capable birds incrementally? You can start with a small "first light" capable instrument with a dozen or so spacecraft, then over time and more launches put up more and more capability and decommission failed or low capability pieces.

Thats the basic plan in a nutshell. Start small, build up, from the ~10cm primary mirror "phase one" prototypes, to eventually using ~50cm primary mirrors. Steady progress using a standardised telescope "chassis" for each generation, with each having a specific camera/instrument rather than the common (for space telescopes) practice of having complicated multi-instrument optical pathways.

Think Planet Labs, but facing out at the universe, not down towards the ground, and a non-profit/charity not a commercial company.

I'll spare the whole spiel that I've regurgitated into grant proposals (space costs money and it would be nice if I didn't have to pay the entire $250,000 or more out of my own pay-check over the course of a decade) if you want to know more (or just talk about it, or offer to help, or whatever else at all) you can contact me directly (email in my HN profile) or wait till I publish the eventual website later this year, I'll be sure to post a Show HN once I have pretty pictures of hardware.

Well I mean, if you think about, everything they do is just making up work. They've basically succeeded in the whole "mega corporation too big to fail, huge amounts of regular automated revenue" thing. They could probably kick their feet up and just coast for a while and not worry but instead they have thousands of employees and hundreds of managers all making up things to do to try and position themselves to make more money in the future. They're already just making up stuff to do
I think needing a super fast Internet connection is like a huge barrier for adoption. Even in India, say they had their backend servers, expecting everyone doing video to have a 1Gbps connection is not easy. [1]

Also, the demo tells me the target audience is not pro video folks (film/TV) rather individuals. They might find it harder to keep spending so much on shuttling data. The power of ML in video has been clear to many but we need these tools to work offline.

Are there great ML specific chips for PC/laptops? I mean like the ones that Apple keeps talking about? I am not in the domain so I don't know, but I guess GPUs are the best chips for this, is there any reason this software would not work on a beefy RTX 30X0 based device?

Update

1. I mention "even in India" because I keep seeing bandwidth pricing here is still relatively cheap, globally speaking. OK, not cheap by typical Indian household measures but if you are doing pro video then yeah, cheap infrastructure.
Few protests are ignored when the participants carry antitank missiles and AKs, and presumably a goal of the US occupation was to prevent "civilians" from bearing arms. Maybe a cultural victory...
Fascinating reading. We have two school age children, and two who are not yet school aged. We would like to home school, but have the same concern others here have articulated (and other HN posters have answered, partially) regarding socialization.

One concern I have is that an oft-given solution to socialization is "church," but we are not religious and do not plan to become so. This limits options somewhat, and also makes us unlike (our perception of) other home-school families.

Would be glad to hear other suggestions from others who might have had this experience (i.e., being non-religious homeschoolers).

“Add a speed bump to the way you work”. I like that a lot. People work better when they pause, and I think one way to do that is being intentional. In fact, it’s not about getting to a place fastest at the cost of leaving it just as fast.

It's still working out ok for us. We're doing the 2 DVDs at a time, and while I understand netflix always was suspected of "rate-limiting" people who had too much churn, we must not be anywhere near that since turnaround is still just a few of days. We're not impulse watchers so it's fine.

It's still tons cheaper than individual stream rentals, there's more device flexibility, a lot more choice, doesn't require blackbox DRM on the devices (they are probably going to force secure enclaves on linux for their DRM at some point once the kernel patches propagate).
The regime supported by the USSR lasted several years after losing all Soviet support and with the Taliban getting full Pakistani and US aid. And this ended in a horrific blood bath (not to claim the Soviet-supported regime by itself was anything to write home about).

So there's some incentive for the urban population, especially women, to resist the rise of the Taliban. It should be noted the US has spent twenty years in the nation aligned with the drug lords of what was once the Northern Alliance, a group that could, among other things, could never develop the country. It's not surprising the US could get nowhere.

It's a history of pain and tragedy.

Stop pretending you're more 'informed' then others or an expert on risk management. You think leaving multiple kids in a car with the engine on is effective risk management. Now you're trying to convince us it's weird that someone would ring the police if they saw a child wandering the streets without a parent. So they are too young to manage a carpark and its best they stay locked in a car, but letting them wonder off to the park on their own across how many roads is fine. People who would be concerned are generally stupid and watch too much news.

This is all one big joke. I think I'm about finished arguing the absurd.

You're allowed have sex. You're allowed to give someone money. But you're not give someone sex for money.

What China has done is take an arbitrary, ridiculous rule like that, and make it even more absurd. Imagine if they said that after 30 minutes, a massage is by definition sex. And if you do it more than 90 minutes a week, it's sex addiction.

It's just arbitrary ways of controlling the populace. I doubt if they care whether kids play games. It's just a way to start facial recognition for the social credit system early.
