Blender is starting to get strong traction in the industry, and will likely eat Autodesk alive in the following decades (at least the 3D modelling part of its business). It may be a way of ensuring they stay relevant; for example, if tools like Photoshop "play well" with Blender, users are less likely to switch to something else.
Seems to be right in line with other online only banks.
There have been several studies that more lanes tend to lead to more traffic, not less. Here's a wiki article about the phenomenon:

I'm just confused. You're giving an opinion that falls within the realm of answers to the question (it's yours but also not what you were trying to say?), zooming out to a different topic, saying it's the more important debate, then saying that the journalist not being of the same opinion is either malicious malicious or ignorant. Right?

If so, ok. I disagree, but ok.

> Adobe is one of those companies that [isn’t] nice… See for example, [it charges money for software]

The absolute state of HN.
Restaurant owners refuse to pay higher wages because that would remove a huge profit source for them - variable pricing.

As long as part of the wage is in tips the owner effectively is capable of charging customers different prices. Rich people pay more but poor poeple also visit. If you raise the price to pay a good wage without tips and abolish tipping you lose the poor customers.
> Inexperienced, will buy anything that sounds good and trustworthy, no matter whether snakeoil or real deal, because they don't know better. That is most mom&pop shops.

Since switching to contract IT work and coming in much more direct contact with "mom & pop" shops than I did in prior years, I've come to realize that most "mom & pop" shops are far more business savvy than they're often given credit for. They mostly just don't have access to any sort of fair and reasonably priced IT folk who ain't tryin' to scam them outta house and home.

I've found that by offering that fair price and quality work, I can gain a level of loyalty that results in me not even needing to advertise my services to have more than enough work and profit to keep me goin' and happy with my career choice. "Word of mouth" is by far the best advertising you could ever ask for anyhow… Nothin' beats trust for generating "brand loyalty" and return business.

> Experienced, when they had a real disaster in the burned stage, recognized their lack of proper tools and manpower as a reason. Now they try to evaluate suggestions properly through inhouse expertise. Only possible if large enough.

I've come across these folk as well. They also tend to be able to recognize instantly when they're not bein' taken advantage of. This type has always been a good loyal customer type worth putting in a bit of extra effort for, too. Having been "burned" before, they recognize the value of payin' a fair price to an honest hardworkin' tech.

> Burned, will buy/do nothing, because when they were inexperienced they were sold/told crap. Now they trust no-one and also think they can save money.

The saddest example of the three, because they'll continue to suffer because their trust had been abused.
Spring Cleaning MDN: Part 1
I agree it’s an going to show up in nighttime photography. You need better timing, manually remove them from photos, or take extra shots etc.

I am simply saying it’s not a major impediment for amateur Astronomy as you can time things to capture a clean picture of most objects as long as you time them so their above the horizon.

Also, if you want to aim for a mountain in long exposure all the stars are going to be smeared in the photo. If it’s short exposure their going to look like just another star.
The feature I missed the most in this amazing tool is the ability to compose existing node types to create new node type. It this adressed somehow in 2.0 ?
Even that's lopsided. Assuming the idea is purely software (no hardware manufacturing involved), then the vast majority of the actual work is to make the product.

I would not accept a 50/50 split where he "has the idea" and I do the software. I wouldn't even accept a 50/50 split if the Idea Partner also does a little sales and marketing. I would maybe accept 50/50 if the Idea Partner also provided all the capital. Now we're talking...

You're probably interested in something more like the holographic universe hypothesis. Under that hypothesis, I believe "entangled particles" end up staying close to each other in the projected space. 3D space in that case would be an "emergent phenomenon" that isn't necessarily the "base data structure" of the simulation.
A lot of software in production is designed like a bunch of railroads that are unnecessarily twisted and dangerously run into each other for no apparent reason. So train wrecks are to be expected.
You're simply not the target audience. It's brilliant for those that need what it does. I'm a developer, but when I need something quick and easy, I pull it out and it's great.

If I'm totally honest, I never thought of it this way, but humour me this: if OF and the like are considered distributors in the traditional sense of the entertainment world, would they typically be responsible for engaging in legal disputes over unauthorized distribution?

My feeble understanding of the law is that it would be more appropriate for copyright holders to sue in instances of illegal distribution. I understand why this isn't an option for most people (they don't have the resources a studio does), but I'm just trying to trace back who has the right to press for charges.
Maybe I am a bit naive, but I don't understand how this is a big problem. Sure it would have been a problem in the past where long exposures were captured to film, where one satellite streak may overexpose the entire frame. But in the digital era, it will always be 100% known where the satellites were at a given point in time, so why can't software be used to exclude the affected frames and pixels for analysis? Surely that would not result in a very large amount of data being lost?
> The signal to noise ratio would be too high to know the difference.

That's a very good reasoning why it is an unlikely thing to be. But the sensitivity of humans to gravitational differences is not a law of physics. This is a very important distinction.
The phrase "breaks the laws of physics" is not just a rhetorical flourish.

If I point at a go-kart looking thing and say "that thing can go 0.8 Mach" that's a practical impossibility. For many reasons it is very unlikely, to be true. But does not break the laws of physics. (Who knows, maybe it has a nuke under it, which can loft it that fast for one glorious moment of go-karting fame.)

If I point at the same go-kart looking object and say "that thing can go 1.2c" that is a whole different ballpark. It might still happen, but if it happens that will make us re-evaluate nearly everything we think we know about how the universe works. This is what it means that something "breaks the laws of physics".
I think the catch is, a human is considered a creative being, as in it can create new content which consequently is copyrighted to that human.
An AI cannot - at least so far - not create create genuinely new content and also cannot assume copyright.

If the copilot would have been trained on open source software e.g. to discover bugs, bad code style, or other things "learned" by analyzing existing code and using the results of this analysis as a metric for judging code, it wouldn't be a copyright problem. But creating new code based on what it "learned" is a much more difficult field, especially, if it is "quoting" so literally.
I'll just point out that not all ground-based astronomy is affected. Satellites are only visible when the sky is dark but the satellite is not in Earth's shadow, so only observations at dusk and dawn are affected.
Some people did decide that benefits are better than working yes, but the reality is more complicated than that - https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-restaurant-...

I personally know 3 people who left the restaurant industry (1 RNA certification, 1 barbering, and one realtor) last year. I know of one person who spent their time during shutdown working on IT certifications who is currently planning an exit. I don't blame these people for not working in food service. I did my time there, it's miserable on all fronts.

I think the bigger problem is shutting down the industry and starting it back up. People who had to go elsewhere to make ends meet aren't going to go back. It's going to take a long time for these restaurants to recover lost talent. They are going to have to offer a lot more than the old status quo if they want to woo workers back.
I worked a long, long time in the food service industry and it was the tipping that drove me away. I just could not smile and bear it anymore. I never got angry at a customer, never lost my cool in front of them, and did my best to be polite and humble, but it just wore me out. I felt like every day I was begging, hoping for them to like me so I could pay rent. If I didn't have to worry about that I could do the job professionally and know my pay was not tied to if the customer liked me or not.
It does hint at how generous the rushed stimuli were:

So what happens here in the UK with my visa debit card, is that if I somehow go below 0 using it(very difficult, but it has happened before) then my bank sends me a text saying "hey, you have gone into unarranged overdraft, please pay in some money before tomorrow 3pm or we'll charge you a fee".

But of course, that implies that the bank isn't greedy.
> An exec at John Deere donated 500,000 to a 501c3 (non lobbying) for right to repair, which John deer the company matched.

This is much like Mark Zuckerberg's donation to Diaspora [1], the decentralized and open source social network. It's a token donation to the opposition that isn't really viewed as a substantial threat. It can be pointed to internally and externally as a fig leaf, but it doesn't yield any strategic edge. It's cheap posturing, and it works.

What gives you the idea that these tools are cash cows? It's quite then opposite, really. In FY20, Mesia and Entertainment was 5% of Autodesk's revenue as per their own report.

I think this is Adobe hedging their bets against Autodesk as they don't have a full 3D DCC software suite. There are 3d modelling and rendering features in some products, but they are just in a supporting role.
I’m sure many get low pay, but the women I knew were making $50k - $70k in their 20s. That was when housing was far, far cheaper too. Hardly min wage.
In the first video, it looks like there are intersection issues (the block being carried by the agent appears to pass through other blocks). The agent hovers above the ground, and manipulates blocks but has no visible manipulators. When the agent drops several levels, I cannot tell if it is accelerating as it falls. So what do they mean exactly when they say this is a "physics-based simulation"?
Perhaps they see this as a way to get some measure of influence over Blender's future direction, which would be strategically valuable. Or maybe it's to give themselves cover when they're accused of being anti-competitive, etc.
Embrace extend.. no thank you
That might be a possible future, but why is starlink required in that process? I can definitely see a future where we have space telescopes without giant satellite swarms obstructing the view from Earth.
Those objections to super determinism seem weak, or more along the lines of “I don’t like the implications, so I won’t consider it.”

My understanding is that nothing has happened on migration because there is no agreement.
I think many people new to Kubernetes get intimidated by its perceived complexity. It has so many resources, huge manifests, and a billion tools, with more coming online by the day. I was a huge Kubernetes hater for a while because of this, but I grew to love it and wouldn't recommend anything else now.

I'm saying this because while their architecture seems reasonable, albeit crazy expensive (though I'd say it's small-scale if they use network CIDRs and tags for service discovery), it also seems like they wrote this without even trying to use Kubernetes. If they did, it isn't expressed clearly by this post.

For instance, this:

> Writing YAML files for Kubernetes is not the only way to manage Infrastructure as Code, and in many cases, not even the most appropriate way.

and this:

> There is a controller that will automatically create AWS load balancers and point them directly at the right set of pods when an Ingress or Service section is added to the Kubernetes specification for the service. Overall, this would not be more complicated than the way we expose our traffic routing instances now.

> The hidden downside here, of course, is that this excellent level of integration is completely AWS-specific. For anyone trying to use Kubernetes as a way to go multi-cloud, it is therefore not very helpful.

Sound like theoretical statements rather than ones driven by experience.

Few would ever use raw YAMLs to deploy Kubernetes resources. Most would use tools like Helm or Kustomize for this purpose. These tools came online relatively soon after Kubernetes saw growth and are battle-tested.

One would also know that while ingress controllers _can_ create cloud-provider-specific networking appliances, swapping them out for other ingress controllers is not only easy to do, but, in many cases, it can be done without affecting other Ingresses (unless they are using controller-specific functionality).

I'd also ask them to reconsider is how they are using Docker images as a deployment package. They're using Docker images as a replacement for tarballs. This is evidenced by them using EC2 instances to run their services. I can see how they arrived at this (Docker images are just filesystem layers compressed as a gzipped tarball), but because images were meant to be used by containers, dealing with where Docker puts those images and moving things around must be a challenge.

I would encourage them to try running their services on Docker containers. The lift is pretty small, but the amount of portability they can gain is massive. If containers legitimately won't work for them, then they should try something like Ansible for provisioning their machines.
Part of it is a numbers game. One asshole per unit of time is stressful regardless of how many non-assholes you serve in that same unit of time. Now consider that a waiter working a 30 hour week can serve hundreds of individuals at even a modest restaurant.

Less objectively, I feel like assholes are much more likely to express their negativity in a service scenario. You may run into these people all the time and not see their behavior until you're the one serving them.

The ways some people not-uncommonly behave can be absolutely gobsmacking. It's hard to relate to what is going on in these people's emotional thoughts. Spontaneous stress reactions like road rage are at least relatable, but the purposeful way some people treat others when being served by them can be, frankly, totally alien.
Every time there's an SF Bay area thread, you get libertarians pointing out how the lack of enforcement against shoplifting has destroyed the ability to run stores in the area. From afar in Canada, I have no idea if this is true or not.

But you can see the reflection of that in this mess - the lack of enforcement of cultural norms about being a nasty piece-of-work to waitstaff and other front-of-house jobs has raised the labour expectations to the point that it's no longer a worthwhile employment option for many people. There are similar jobs with similar pay but less emotional labor.

This is the price of ignoring the emotionally laborious. And yes, "laborious" has a two different meanings when applied to people.
I read a paper once about an ancient tribe of hunters who had exhausted the local fauna and consulted the wisdom of the spirits through an oracle bone ceremony for the next bounty.

In essence, the oracle bone would give them a random direction. If there was nothing, they'd ask again, if there was something, they would keep asking. Doesn't matter. The important function of consulting the oracle bones was that they were randomly distributing their hunting patterns without overexhausting one particular area within range. This allows the population of game to stabilize over time.

tldr

If you're looking for answers, searching at random and searching frequently is probably the most efficient method instead of wasting time figuring out how to find it.

They're referring to unemployment benefits. I was surprised to find out that a friend's kid has been collecting them for a year - this person has a STEM degree and lost their job due to a fire at work, not COVID. Doesn't matter, the state gave blanket extension to unemployment benefits. In the past you could collect for only a few (maybe 6) months - not sure of that particular state's laws.

How was the app deployment, I have been told there's different ways to go about it, the "apt install" way being harder since your app has to be vetted and what not, understandable.

It's just as far as "barrier to entry" for users that's one of the things that could be problematic if there isn't just an app store they go to.
I’m in favor of immigration but I don’t think we should incentivize anyone absorbing they abuse.
Pulling this attack off requires enough access to the machine to either run the unprivileged commands needed to create the exploit condition or to upload a binary/script that runs unprivileged that in turn creates the exploit condition.

If the attacker already has that level of unauthorized access, you're already doomed.
> If we were designing the interstate system today, that's actually a fun thought experiment. What would we change? I would probably focus more on throughput -- cars can be half as wide and still seat tons of people, 5 lane highways today could easy be 8 lanes of narrower cars.

Why would you go narrower? That makes problems worse for trucks and other cargo conveyance; note that in general, newer highway standards tends to increase lane width, not decrease them compared to older standards.

(I guess you can see the same effect with railroads--the UK railroads have smaller loading gauges than newer networks like the US, Germany, or Sweden).
While this is absolutely true, it would also make the job very stressful (and potentially dangerous) if front-line staff, or any staff really, has to eject people on a regular basis. I definitely wouldn’t want to do it, the people who you’d be refusing service to would be the worst of the worst and likely not take it well.
Amazing extension. Thank you.
It would be really interesting to see a future in which giant companies fund open source work as a way to weaken their competitors.
Reminds me of another interesting thread on the topic, from January: "What do we lose when we lose the stars?"[0] Sadly, it seems many on HN don't seem to feel anything towards the dark sky at night. I wonder if it's because most people grew up in an urban area? I'm from a rural area and always had a stunning view of the night sky and would truly miss it, and feel like something of inconceivable value is lost if it just becomes a flickering mass of satellites moving around. It's something I'd love future generations to be able to have, especially as we're already going to be depriving them of so much given our current tendencies.

For me, job stress has little to do with being extremely busy in the moment and a lot to do with thinking about far-flung high-leverage consequences of mistakes (will this system crash in the middle of the night 2 weeks from now, costing tons of money and causing someone to call me in a panic?). With something like being a cook, failure feedback is usually pretty immediate, which IMO is nice for stress levels.
Well we're also built to behave in accordance with what's "right" (moral etc).

So options are being weighed.

I have always interpreted "moves" in this context to relate to straight line acceleration, like when somebody says a sports car "really moves" they mean it's got quick straight-line acceleration.

Immediately after this quote Ford (or maybe Zaphod?) says something about how he had been passed by some ship at great speed, and shortly after it crashed into a planet or something. I can't remember off the top of my head. But that seems to support the interpretation that it can move fast but can't steer.
Truth being relative is a recent phenomenon, but only from a historian's perspective. Post-modernism has been mainstream for three, four decades. I don't see it going away any time soon, because it's awfully compatible with our marketing driven economies. What matters (and coincidentally, sells) is not what reality is, but the stories you can tell about it. Not vanilla or chocolate, but liberty (0).

Covid became a very partisan issue across the world, despite the numbers being clear. So have climate change, incarceration versus rehabilitation, drug legalisation versus prohibition, increasing minimum wages, single-payer healthcare systems, quantitative easing or austerity.
