You might not know unless you interact with the machine tool world but Index is a pretty strong brand identity.
But from your own example, why on earth would you need a "state of the art app" for something like banking? You're displaying transactions, maybe getting push notifications about transactions, etc. Even the feature that you may argue requires a native app, mobile deposit where you take a picture of a check, can definitely be done with a browser. Stripe's new identity service where you take a picture of an ID does on-device, real-time image analysis and it works beautifully and simply, no app needed.
> Maybe it's just me but at least from what I see personally there's loads of errors small and larger in the news these days. It's weird.

From what little I know about journalism (very little), editors at traditional media had a very opinionated stance about language and punctuation. It is to the degree that they're not merely finding errors like these, they're also suggesting rewrites for clarity, etc.

I, too, notice many simple errors like these that make me think that editor must not be as valuable a role as it was in the past. As the cost of communication dropped toward zero, an editor role becomes a more significant cost, maybe. Would the cumulative effect of errors like this one be enough to impact the readership of The Verge?
You're right that's probably what they intend it to mean, but I think there is a reading of it that they are moving workloads from mainframes to the cloud, and during that process will be "hybrid cloud with mainframes".
The majority of Covid disinformation was spread by 12 people with limited resources. They didn't need deepfakes. Deepfakes add nothing of substance to the liar's toolkit.

It's easy to lie to people so long as you're saying things that validate their shitty emotions. Conversely, it's extremely hard to tell people the truth when it goes against their shitty emotions.
I'd hire both of them. Artists in the VFX field are frequently constrained by the capabilities of their tools.
They should! Though there are more people that can read English than those that can read code, not including when bugs exist outside of it.
A roll of the die is not 50 percent (that'd be the flip of a coin); I take it English is not your native language, so just for the record what I meant was "it's down to luck".

This latest comment proves one thing: you're a burden on society whether you want to admit it or not (and whether you're vaccinated has long stopped being relevant, this attitude is a problem). You're just trying to rationalize yourself away by trying desperately to find people "worse" than you. McDonalds eh? Come off it.

Your arguments are so off base they're not even worth debating. Done wasting time with you.

Here's a five year old kid driving a toy car. He didn't take any training course to do this. He didn't need to be told not to hit the dog or drive off the side of the hill.

Is this kid ready to drive on public roads? No, obviously not. But this kid is arguably better at handling edge cases on the road than any "self driving" system trained on a billion miles of road data.
Alternatively, you were dreaming the whole time. I have _many_ dreams where I "woke up". I'm totally convinced it's real in the dream-- even though I also have telekinesis and can fly.
In my experience, the harder and more scratch resistant the glass the easier it shatters. Maybe the more sustainable option would be to have normal glass or some kind of plastic that you can easily replace every 1-2 years? I guess it is a hard problem though since for phones the glas is usually bonded to the touch sensor and the LCD. Maybe you can make the screen protector a first-class citizen.

Also I'm not a huge fan that every capacitive touch screen is glossy. The anti-glare coating doesn't really work well for me. You can get matted displays (for example car GPSes often have them), but they have a diffusor that reduces the visual quality. I think it would be nice to try a non-matted, but non-glossed display like what you have on certain desktop monitors. Then you could also try other top cover materials instead of gorilla glass.
Affordability is one thing, but it also sounds like a colossal waste of resources to dispense with these batteries in volume. Gas engines last decades with good maintenance and can be rebuilt. The idea that the modern EV is basically toast (cost prohibitive to repair like all modern electronics) after 5-10 years is not the green future we are trying to work toward.

It would be interesting to understand the true environmental impact of EVs.
Phone batteries are typically used very aggressively by charging them to 100% every day. The time spent near 100% causes most of the damage.

EVs typically come with a configurable maximum charge limit (e.g. 80% or 90%) which avoids a lot of battery wear.
I blame the French... We could have had it all properly and use grave... But no, too big... One of the few ugly bits of SI system. In general otherwise it all just works together so nicely.

Then again it's not only weird unit we have, dB is the other one. Ofc, units are nicer to handle, but still... Not that bell isn't weird unit anyway.
According to Oxford dictionary, self driving implies:

> capable of travelling without input from a human operator, by means of computer systems working in conjunction with on-board sensors.

A taxi clearly does not match this definition, since it has a human operator.

I assume we are not just making up words ourselves, because that would be meaningless. What definition are you referring to that would match your usage?

Ignoring the fact that Koreans still have to use Chinese characters in technical snd academic contexts and the fact that the unstoppable change of language means that certain spellings are already becoming non-phonetic, from a technical point of view it's the same issue. If you look at Unicode Korean still has to use thousands of characters for precomposed Hangul blocks. Koreans also have to use input methods to convert from keystrokes representing individual Hangul letters to one of the thousands of precomposed Hangul codepoints. In fact the fact that Korean input methods like to change the precomposed characters in the text field as you type makes it more likely to break than Chinese and Japanese input methods.

The implications for the entertainment industry are massive.

When I was working in indie game development, I wondered if you could use deepfakes as a voice actor. Basically get someone famous/good voice with infinite voice lines, without having to pay for studio time. Obviously, you would need them to sign-off on using their voice for commercial purposes.
I wonder where this leads in the long term.

Do we have different actors deepfaked in for different markets?

Do actors even act anymore? Do companies just pay actors for their likeness and do the rest?

Do we get to a point where you can choose who is acting in a film you're watching?

How are deepfaked voices? Can we substitute audio as well?

I understand that deepfakes are still a bit of a manual process, but presumably that will change.

You're not wrong, there's real upsides to push notifications. For example the thing I love about the iWatch is how it lets me never check my phone because anything relevent is pushed to the watch.

But I think you are really underselling the downsides of push notifications. They are easily the most heavily abused feature of the modern web anywhere they exist. If every single app responsibly used push notifications then sure, it would be great. Here in reality push notifications aren't some personal majordomo making sure only important issues are brought to our attention, push notifications feel more like walking down the Vegas strip having leaflets constantly shoved in your face.

I think its premature to say that we have the answer and just maybe Apple dragging their feet on this will help us find a solution that is better than the advertiser friendly free for all that Google is pushing.
My understanding is that the tech unicorns do not, but that there are some off-the-shelf applications (in e.g. banking) that run on mainframes that do lead less tech focused companies to get into the mainframe game.

Apps don't ask if you want to be tracked they just do it in the background. They don't ask if you want to sign up they force you to sign up to use the app.

I can't believe the HN crowd likes spyware-loaded apps which take up expensive phone storage space and don't respect user choice over websites which ask you for everything they want to do.
Google lens can already do this. It identifies other things too, which is nice. And from my very limited testing lens is more accurate.

I guess this is nice for the "cancel Google" crowd though...

> Two things: first, without having a recipe for very productive people, our best option is fostering fertile environments for development and then seeing who comes out, and that's very much a numbers game of getting as many entrants as possible.

I don't see the connection. Why do you need to get many entrants as possible? Why not do the obvious thing and create those fertile environments instead of letting random chance decide everything? All I am seeing here is the argument that given a high enough population fertile environments don't matter. No matter how difficult you make it for fertile environments to exist a higher population will always cancel it out.

Why would you lump PWAs and AMP pages together? They're hardly the same problem. PWAs are a threat to the App Store model. It's obvious that it would spawn a new category of apps that effectively enable sideloading. You've got access to all the native functions too (sensors, camera, storage). Apple doesn't want that. So they drag their feet when it comes to support.

> I'd prefer to hire somebody who takes twice as long to complete a task, if they're taking that time to ensure that it won't cause problems downstream or in edge cases. Fast & sloppy programmers who maximize a commits per hour metric are the worst.

That's a strawman. You metric of "job done" is "ensuring that it won't cause problems downstream or in edge case". Fast & sloppy programmers are not fast, as they didn't achieve your metric of job done. Thus you actually prefer fast programmers to slower ones.
I think it is an AI-processed dialect of COBOL and INTERCAL where you have to prepend PLEASE every few statements to get the compiler-AI to parse it.

> Do actors even act anymore? Do companies just pay actors for their likeness and do the rest?

I assume that would eventually get to generating a totally new person, rather than modeling after a specific actor who costs money.
Maybe `inf` and `1/inf` are bad names for the concept the value represents. Perhaps 'overflow' and 'underflow' are better - they are error conditions that propagate (when they would affect the result, e.g. `x + underflow` would have been `x` anyway, thus it is not propagated), so you can diagnose when your computation has suffered from irrecoverable precision loss.

> Most people still want to get their work done, not caring about security at all.

That's exactly why tools and languages should be designed for security, so that their users don't have to care.

I also disagree about 'not caring about security at all': security is opposite to functionality, since it prevents things rather than enabling them. If developers truly didn't care about security, we would see far more use of 'eval' as a way to plug systems together. Instead, we see a huge amount of effort spent on defining data and interchange formats, parsing parameters, branching on their values, etc.

For example, any time an API/URL provides options like '?sortField=age&sortDirection=DESC', that indicates developers who do care about security. In contrast, we can make a far more flexible API by accepting arbitrary code instead, like '?postProcess=(x) => x.sortBy((elem) => elem.age).reverse'; and this is much easier to implement, since we could just send it to 'eval()'.
I think they have been making a push on this front with POWER so maybe this is leading up to a similar hardware push for z systems. Still guessing buzzwords

Helping Build a Green Internet
I agree that Apache and Nginx are not critical attack surfaces, especially for static web sites. I have been experimenting with running static sites on Cloudflare Pages, delegating security and infrastructure to them. This goes against my desire for decentralization, however. I usually use GCP for my web sites and it is so little effort to occasionally start a fresh VPS, a few git pulls, and copy an Nginx config file, and flipping DNS settings. Automating this process to happen frequently would avoid the problems associated with hackers taking over your servers and use them long term.
In my experience a new unicorn will never architect anything the requires a mainframe. It is the older banks and insurance companies that have workloads designed specifically for mainframes that have 30-40 years of development and maintenance baked into them.

This is common indeed, and isn't a bug in the affected source languages for reasons. How it displays when printed is irrelevant.

Here's Linus Torvalds explaining it better than I could: https://youtu.be/Pzl1B7nB9Kc?t=263

And sure you can transfer your string that someone else does not consider a string using alternative mechanisms, but then you are only not doing anything wrong because you are not doing it at all for entire categories of languages. There is no integration story for these, and once one mixes with optimizations like compact strings or has multiple encodings under the hood one cannot statically annotate the appropriate type anyhow. And sadly, adapter functions won't help as well when the fundamental 'char' type backing the 'string' type is already unable to represent your language's string.

I also do not understand where the idea that a single language always lives in a single component comes from. Certainly not from npm, NuGet, Maven or DLLs.

Extended this post to provide additional relevant context. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Commercial pick-place machines have moving 'beds' as well, and they move quite fast. SMT parts have sufficiently low inertia that the paste keeps them put. I'm sure that tuning the stage acceleration rates for max speed in development is a messy process though :p

When you get right down to it the obsessive range anxiety doesn’t make a lot of sense. How often are you going on road trips? Actually I’d guess it’s so infrequent that renting would be fine. This sounds crotchety, but it’s a bit of a recurring pattern that I see that presents problems for adopting more efficient standards: everybody needs a pickup because they haul or tow once or twice a year, or long range in case they suddenly decide they want to drive cross-country, even though they never do that, etc.
Could you describe your understanding of what that term means to you? I always hear it referenced but it haven't really clicked to me what people mean by mentioning it (reading the articles barely help for me).

I've got 85,000/136,000 miles/km on my 2018 Model 3, Long Range.

Initial range: 315/500 m/km

Updated Range: 325/520 m/km

Current Range*: 302/483 m/km

*(maximum charge I see when recharging over night)

Using the 325 as a starting point, that's 7% decrease in range after 85k/136k m/km.

Using 30% decrease as the point where you'd upgrade the battery, and prorating from 7%, you'd drive 360,000/577,000 m/km before needing to replace it.

At 18,000/29,000 m/km average annual driving distance, you'd drive 20 years before needing to replace the battery.
I think we'll eventually see hardware that cryptographically signs the content as soon as it is produced with timestamp, but then that could be fooled by someone creating a deepfake, projecting it on a high resolution screen and then photographing with another camera. Or we wouldn't believe things unless they are captured by multiple cameras at different angles and maybe future GANs will be able to cover that. We are seeing the beginning of an arms race!

Technically, the hyper in hypertable was originally connected to the fact that they hypercubes as part of the partitioning logic: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/blob/master/src/hyp...
Over time, that connection sort of got lost in favor of hypertables just being useful for storing and analyzing time-series data. So, these functions are conceptually similar in that they make analyzing time-series data easier, even if they don't involve hypercubes or the like. And I'd bet that most users will use hyperfunctions on their data in hypertables, but you can also use them on data in regular Postgres tables etc.

Yeah, we gathered that from the GP. Supporting your argument would require not just repeating where the proof isn't, but showing where it is.
Not to mention the politicians who are recorded doing something genuinely shady and will wave it away as fake news - this is happening already even without deep fakes.

But like you said yourself, they didn't catch on. Therefore I wouldn't describe those vendors as "successful". Apple was the first vendor to achieve that. It may be that the Qualcomm chips used by the majority of those devices just aren't competitive enough to replace desktop use cases.

That doesn't strike me as a good characterization. Especially because both Python and Cmake are quite imperative. Meson is declarative with an emphasis on immutability.

It's "cmake in role only" - both are build systems, that's where the similarity falls apart.
