You cloned every word, which is much worse than cloning the vector (which only clones a couple of pointers).

Here's the performance of the original code:

I'm sorry but I don't get what you mean?

People claim the OSI coined 'open source'.

I provided a counter example that shows they didn't.

That's not enough, and you claimed the example was the only one in existence, so I provided a second, which must have been a surprise to you!

Both use 'open source' in a similar context. One even capitalises it as a proper noun and presents it as a movement people should get behind.

What is your argument at this point? Both authors of those emails are time travellers or something? Do you think someone is fabricating these emails? Why would they do that and how would they get them onto these third-party websites?
The regulators were way too aggressive. They overburdened farms and dispensaries to such a degree that legal sources are having a hard time competing with the black market even though dispensaries were considered essential businesses (able to stay open) through the pandemic.

Will we ever get to some other metric than "money" WRT 'returns'?

I've always wondered about this WRT "black budgets" and the theories about Breakaway Civilizations; "Of what value does 'Money' have in Space?"

---

Lets assume that trillions are funnelled off into black budgets for [purposes] -- that assumes that hte 'money' (fiat currency (paper/the-concept-of-value/10101010s/etc)) is being used to pay for/buy [goods/services] -- Where the hell is all this money going? is there an economy and a place where such vast amounts are being spent.

Lets assume they are paying their engineers/suppliers/companies/etc - the Deep Workers far beyond the depths of SkunkWorks etc - where exactly is that money going? What are they buying.

This has been the biggest flaw for me in thinking about Breakaway Civs - and spending money/making money in Space.

If we were to assume that the moon had some set of valuable minerals/etc that would be beneficial to mine and then return to earth, where is the value in mining Tungsten on the Moon (given your shipping calc, for example) and bringing that back to earth unless the earth had none of said resource...

Personally, it would be interesting to think about how a production capability could be built on the moon to support the fabrication and manufacture of vessels on a lunar-orbitting ship-dock, which then could carry on to mars/wherever... and pull from the resources of metals on the moon, which AFAIK is supposed to have a lot of metal...

Further, why has Musk constantly talked about "going to Mars", but said seemingly very little about doing a dry-run, proto, etc to the Moon first?

Shouldnt building a Moon-base be much more immediately important than a Bezos-esque trip to Mars?

FFS SpaceX is talking about getting to Mars, but all the required life support eco-system requirements do not appear to have been even addressed?

It all feels amiss... Please enlighten me.
Pretty much yeah. Just to be clear, we only use the color and depth images from the camera. There is actually an offline calibration step to obtain camera intrinsic parameters, which are copied into each scene.

The integrate step runs a SLAM pipeline to compute the trajectory of the camera. Then we run an integration step to obtain the mesh.

Our core philosophy is to not stand in the way once you want to do something custom. So totally, if you want to just read the camera poses and 3D labels and do your own thing, you can totally do that and the data is available in each scene folder.
I think you should reread the article. One of the point of the APL community is that terseness itself is a goal.

The horror...
Occupying Afghanistan is just throwing money and blood down a hole for what exactly? For people who don't want us there? Because we're too embarrassed to admit there are problems we can't solve with M16s and Coca-Cola? It's the graveyard of empires for a reason. Even if you snapped your fingers and right now political violence was forever ended in Afghanistan it still wouldn't have been worth the cost. A foreign occupying force isn't "fixing" Afghanistan any more than an orderly is fixing a violent mental patient by sitting on his chest.
Ask HN: Evaluating Series C Offer
I received an offer at a Series C startup as the "Director Data Science" reporting to VP who reports to C level. Company was pre money ~450M in last round in April. Here are the details:

Salary: 205
Bonus: up to 18%
Benefits: Solid affordable health care and "uncapped" vacation
Stock: 18k options. No details in offer about the value. But i have access to research and the preferred stock price is around $8.

I'm pretty happy the the title, cash, bonus, and what the company is doing. But i feel that the shares for the responsibility i would have is low. My question is this. One, am i right to think the share amount is low? Two, I have some FANG interviews coming up for Data Science roles. I've been studying LEET code for a while and think i have a good shot. Should i hold out to see what they would offer me?
I doubt that. If you're in an ATG squat, I think your desk height would need to be below your (squatted) knee height - probably well below it. I'm about 9 cm taller than dgan and doing a quick test I think a desk height of even 17 inches (43 cm) would put my arms and shoulders in an uncomfortably raised position, so realistically I'd need the desk height to be about 5-7 inches (13-18 cm) above the surface my feet are on.
Contacting your local representative is the right move. Bear in mind this change is specifically to comply with a law mandating the scanning of photos stored in the cloud, that’s why apart from the opt in for children’s iMessages, it only applies to photos you upload to iCloud storage.

The way to stop companies complying with the law is to get the law changed.
While you're at it maybe you could prevent ransomware by making access to one file different than access to many files? Any application that wants to access many files, especially critical ones, should require special permissions, perhaps a USB access key. For critical infrastructure this could be very useful. Spawning threads for each file should be detected and require the same special permission. Emergency access could be provided via a physical "break glass" mechanism that triggers logging and an alert on the network (perhaps even via an independent mesh network based on cheap ESP32 chips). Sure it would cost more, require some OS changes, and be a hassle to use, but for critical infrastructure those costs seem worth it. I know computer science has studied such things, is there some known roadblock to implementing this? Perhaps it was viewed as making system administration too tedious but I haven't seen any other ransomware solutions [backups (which will not stop blackmailing with stolen data) and kill cryptocurrencies (not possible internationally)] that make much sense so maybe it is time to reconsider, the costs may be worth the protection.
I learnt Pascal at uni many moons ago and had a lot of fun with it. These days it just seems extraordinarily verbose to develop in. Languages like Rust let you freely express what you need without so much typing on the keyboard. Ada is even worse in that respect.
I see a lot of people saying this seems not a big deal, or that his leadership deserved promotion.

It’s because this is a second order article. The original, most substantive source that I could find is quite thorough:

https://archive.is/wqdkF

> "He would ask us to do personal things for him," one of these people said. "He said, 'I need you to write a briefing for me on Russian history and politics.' [...] We had absolutely no work in Russia."

I originally made a joke in a now-deleted comment, but then was slightly horrified to hear people excusing this behavior. So here’s a serious one: if you get locked into a prestigious institution under someone like this, run.

EDIT: I should have known this would turn into a sub thread about whether it’s ok to demand an AI researcher brief an executive on Russian political history.

Here’s another one: gossiping about firing someone across the entire office, before you fire them. This article says he did that. I recommend reading through it. I have to go move into our house now, so I can’t paste everything. Suffice to say, the behavior patterns were not productive.

I think people want to recognize DeepMind’s eventual success. Having worked under some effective YC founders vs some Suleyman types, I’ve learned that sometimes a startup can succeed in spite of flaws. And remember, DeepMind was bought by Google. At that point they were the anointed child. Their success wasn’t guaranteed, but it wasn’t as tenuous as pre-billions Google investment.

>I don't think they pros/cons they listed (i.e. price differences) are reflective of reality

What makes you think the pros/cons they listed are just the price? In the linked questionnaire they have:

Supporters of the system say it ensures high quality, safe products and a secure level of profit for farmers who, in turn, don’t have to worry about changing world market prices.

Opponents say it restricts choices and increases prices for Canadian consumers.According to some estimates, Canadians pay 1.5 to three times what they would without supply management for these goods.Opponents also say that while the system once protected more than 150,000 farmers in the 1970’s,it now protects only about 17,000, suggesting it is less necessary or outdated

That seems to line up with the arguments for/against supply management discussed in this thread.

>Reviewing the actual statscan data source [1], milk prices have been very stable at $1.25 to $1.37 per liter as long as they're been recording data. So I don't know where $2.25 came from.

The article was dated August 2, 2017. If we checked the archived page as of jun 17, 2017, we see the $2.33/L price figure.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170617054025/http://www.statca...

As for whether the numbers are representative because people buy in bulk: does it matter? The hypothetical non-supply managed prices were obtained by taking the current price and dividing by 3 (which was the suggested price premium according to University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy), so it doesn't really matter which starting price you used.

>That's firmly in Majority territory when it comes to Canadian politics :).

1. this is a sneaky moving of the goalposts from "most" to "majority"

2. Maybe en-CA has a different definition for "majority", but the definition on wiktionary unambiguously states that it has to be greater than 50%. maybe you're looking for "plurality"?

3. even if we use "plurality", using that to paint the picture that the policy has widespread support is misleading, especially when it's split pretty close 3 ways. At best it can be called "mixed".

>There's a reason even the conservative party (the only political affiliation with more people opposed to supply management than supporting it) will not touch the issue.

I don't get it. Why arbitrarily exclude people of a certain political affiliation? You can't say "most people disapprove of biden", then backtrack and say that it's true because you excluded all the democrats.
> "Employees said Suleyman encouraged them to use private chat groups on Signal and Telegram for work conversations, some of which were set up to automatically delete messages after a set period. Employees were also on occasion asked to delete messages from their phones, a former employee said. They were also told to notify the group once they had done so.

> "Mustafa was super paranoid about Google spying on him, so he didn't want to use corporate apps, even though we were doing corporate work," one former employee said.

Interesting but I can't wrap my head around its implications.

As a programmer I agree, but for a business a service might have a nice mote and offer the right incentives to develop and sell a service.

Yes you are. Leave the default and don’t enable this for your children’s iPhones, and the iMessage change won’t affect you. Switch off iCloud photo storage and none of your photos will be scanned. You have complete control over this.

This is true until it's no longer solving the problem. Maybe the business grows or changes and the software needs to change with them. Then the code needs to be easy to change and robust.

opioids are a large class of drugs with widely varying effects and potential for abuse. for instance, the active ingredient in Imodium is an opioid, but you don't see a lot of recreational Imodium users.

kratom is certainly not a miracle herb, but its characteristics do make it a lot less addictive and lethal than its more popular relatives. it's not unreasonable to think it might be used in replacement therapy, similar to buprenorphine.
> Also, if we just make vaccines mandatory there's no need to check as everyone's got one.. The lowest covid risk possible, and no privacy invasion

How do you make them mandatory without privacy invasion? You must keep records on who is unvaccinated.

Do you think this is the case here? That the models have been tweaked for 50+ years to claim something that is not based on what actually happens?
For me this effect is significantly compounded by not being from the US / North America. This has come up on HN before (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25226805 ) but it still strikes me as so odd that you need quite a bit of USA cultural / vernacular knowledge to navigate the internet anywhere in the world (or at least English speaking sites?). What a strange view into another country to see each day!
But that works in all directions. There are many kinds of people who cannot work together. I for one, despise the "lets all be friends and never say a bad word" crowd. They drive me mad and drive me to leave. I'd rather have a frank exchange of views with someone.
Yeah, instead of this war on COVID.
Same. I learned earlier this year that I have multiple of the ADHD symptoms. Since then I got an Apple Watch just for reminders, after reading people from r/adhd praising its use. For the first time I feel that my days have a structure, and I can check at any time if I already did something instead of forgetting about it and doing it more than once (such as feeding my cat, who needs a very strict diet because of a health condition)

What does OOP have to do with mutating vs non-mutating state?
If I suspect I could have a broken bone, I always go to the GP first. Otherwise, I skip the doctor because it is always the same routine that ends in painkillers and a recommendation for a PT.

Therein lies a major problem, PTs are so used to dealing with health plans capped at hundreds of dollars. People go to a PT expecting an instant solution which is impossible for complex problems. So the whole PT industry has turned into quick fixes in 2-3 sessions that have an immediate feel good result and hand out a piece of paper with a bunch of exercises no one does. It is just as well, without supervision and coaching, they are probably doing the exercise poorly resulting in minimal benefit.
> Google’s CAPTCHA images are frequently grainy and badly focused. This is likely because, as Vox points out, Google has gone through most of the easy visual-recognition training cases, where the pictures were clear and sharp. Now they’re stuck with the hard stuff, which tend to be pictures of terrible quality.

While this is true, I think some of the artifacts in the accompanying example are added by Google as a sort of adversarial attack on deep learning models trying to solve reCAPTCHA problems.

I've no evidence for it, but the noise in the bottom-left to top-right diagonal all have too much colour jitter to just be camera gain IMHO.
The state already knows who is and isn't vaccinated, otherwise they couldn't issue the QR codes. This is already a total known in Europe. It's linked to your healthcare ID (a lot of countries in Europe have nationalised healthcare)

The QR codes themselves enable businesses and government to track your detailed movements every day though. This is why that's much worse.
I’m all ignorance on this subject - what would making scanning illegal prevent?
I've watched a lot of things about Chernobyl but just 8 minutes in and I'm hooked enough to watch the whole thing. The speaker and the slides are engaging.
I've heard this exact story for over 30 years. We're supposed to be entirely underwater by now on the east coast. In the 70s everyone knew that overpopulation and starvation was right around the corner, there were models then too.

What drives me crazy is that it doesn't matter how well I design my passwords if companies immediately sabotage them with their laughable "security" questions. "Pick one of these security questions carefully chosen for you by our marketing director's 4th grader: What was Mommy's maiden name? What was your first pet's name?..."

So now a hacker can just claim to have forgotten my password, google for the town I grew up in or mother's maiden name or try a list of the top 100 pet names, and not have to deal with my billion-year clever password at all. So they allow you to harden the front door's security as much as you like but require you to pick one of their six easy-access window designs for the side of the house just in case you (or anyone else) are unable to get through the front door.

I can improve security by providing the wrong answer, but then I'll have to record it and won't remember it if surprised by a challenge (on the phone for example). What I always want is the option to create my own security question, because I can design one that only makes sense to me but that I can reliably answer from memory.
Or illegal to reverse engineer the scanning code, to work out how to distort the images so the hashes no longer match (or distort innocent images so that they do match, and then send them to someone else's phone).
Ah, duh, you're completely right. I somehow hallucinated another buffer between PPU-generated frames and video output. Which would have been rather expensive at the time...

Also I only just learned that because the NES does not actually output the half scanlines that make interlacing work, both fields are drawn on top of each other, effectively making it 50/60 actual frames per second anyway, instead of interlaced fields!
