I would guess he might be talking about how integers are objects in python, and stored in heap, rather than being stored as values directly on the stack. I haven’t looked, but it could also be in python that all numeric types are stored according to IEEE 754 before being unboxed to the indicated type.

Is the hash matching being done on device or off device?

Up thread it was said that the device will hash the picture then send hash off for matching.

If that is a case, then the hashes coming off your device can be intercepted and checked vs other databases.

Tailwind doesn't really work that well on static websites, or apps that have markup that you have to repeat all over. It is supposed to be used with components.

If you have a button, it should be its own component, rather than something that you have to copy-paste around.

Of course, you can use @apply to merge Tailwind classes into CSS Components, but it kinda negates the benefits of functional CSS.

> Moving CSS into HTML does not makes much sense either, as it's far stylistically cleaner to separate CSS and HTML into their respective files.

The "separation of concerns" idea is still here, but the idea is that HTML+JS is the "presentation", while the "content" comes in the form of JSON (or any kind of object, if you're using it in the backend).

Without this conceptual shift, it really doesn't make sense to use Tailwind.

Strategy as a Way of Life
From another comment

> 1. Lose weight and get fit, everything else depends on this.

I'm going to disagree here. I can speak from experience, and you'll find plenty via a search that getting fit may even lead to more problems if done alone.

That's if OP has esteem issues. Weight loss was suggested and nothing was mentioned in OP about weight issues.

So, OP if either apply to you, read on, if not, safely ignore.

While many of us fat kids (or formerly fat kid/adult) tie our self esteem to our being unfit, the fact is once someone gets fit that poor self esteem does not get magically fixed like a lot of us think it will. I know I did. I was 300lbs, dropped to 160 and started thinking "why am I not happier, I did all this work and still no social life?"

I dare say for myself and others that the magical non fix made things worse.

IMHO working on that poor self esteem is what everything else depends on. Then other things will start getting easier.

That's not to say that you can't work on both at the same time, but go for self esteem first.
I'd like to imagine that the engineers tasked with developing these systems are aware of management's evil endgame, and leave in whatever obvious bugs they can to slow down the loss of computational freedom. The spec for the next version will include an on chip regulator, and they'll have to sabotage it a different way.
Tell HN: Cloudflare is rewriting my Date response headers
Earlier this year I added HTTP response signatures to my business's API, per the HTTP draft spec [0]. These signatures utilize the standard Date response header to help prevent replay attacks among other attack vectors. But to my dismay, Cloudflare rewrites the Date response header at the edge. Meaning, if a particularly unlucky request leaves my servers at 14:01:26.999 with a Date header "Thu, 12 Aug 2021 14:01:26 GMT" and takes ~1ms to process at the edge, the Date header from Cloudflare ends up being "Thu, 12 Aug 2021 14:01:27 GMT". This is problematic when it comes to HTTP response signatures, since the signature is now invalidated. This ends up causing intermittent response signature verification failures.

Cloudflare's support previously suggested that I use (and pay for) an unbound Cloudflare Worker to manually set the Date header to the value of some other internal, unmodified X-Date header. I tried this, but that's actually a noop! So not only are they rewriting the Date response header, but there is no way to stop this behavior. Looking at the HTTP spec, this seems in violation of it for a proxy to rewrite the Date after it has already been set [1] [2], but I can't be certain (keyword: "date and time at which the message originated"). Either way, this is unexpected behavior -- I'd expect every header I send in a response to actually make it, unmodified, to the client. But it seems that's not the case with CF. Honestly, I find this to be unacceptable behavior, but perhaps I'm out of line?

As you could imagine, this issue has been frustrating and was incredibly hard to debug. I spent days digging into and stepping through Puma and Rails internals, thinking they were somehow overriding my Date header before sending the response.

CF support has made it clear that this is a 'will not fix.' Thus, here we are. Perhaps there are a few CF engineers on HN that can help here.

The survey was online, yes, which is what allowed over 5 million people taking part in it. This is not uncommon in scientific articles, and I don't see why mentioning Facebook in your comment is relevant. Also 2.1% of the responders had a PhD and 2.0% of the US population has a PhD, that does not seem like "a fair amount higher". They also mention that "our sample is
more educated with higher vaccine uptake than general population, indicating that vaccine hesitancy is underestimated in this sample." and that "Survey weights adjust for non response and coverage bias".
With regards to the "small percentage" of transphobic comments, they say that "A sensitivity analysis eliminating respondents with self-described
gender produced very similar results". So basically everything you said to try to discredit this particular paper that goes against your preconceived beliefs is irrelevant/wrong.

9.2 million parameters per neuron. There an estimated 86 billion neurons in the human brain [0] and 19 billion in the neocortex [1]. That means that, for this strategy to emulate a human brain or neocortex would require 791 quadrillion parameters or 175 quadrillion parameters, respectively. The largest ANN built so far, GPT-3, has 175 billion parameters [2]. We are 6 orders of magnitude from being able to pull it off.

There's been a big focus on video in developing VR, and it's definitely gotten better, but I think audio is too often overlooked. It's a potentially even harder problem than video.

Audio has fallen victim to voice-specific compression and noise-gating in almost every talk-over-the-internet app. Music performances don't translate, for example. Audio nuance doesn't translate.

But there's a further problem: how to you put everyone into the same acoustic space? Currently, all participants come from disjoint acoustic spaces. One person is in a large room with wood floors, another in a small, carpeted room. How do you strip out the sound of those rooms, and add artificial ambience as if everyone were gathered in the same room, or no room at all (outside)?

People may not think of these things, but they profoundly affect our sense of "being there" in subconscious ways. I think we're still pretty impressed that we can send video and audio over the internet. We need to get over that, and realize we still have a long way to go.
As a reddit user for more than a decade: Reddit has always been dying (for me personally, it was the digg exodus). Everything you describe has been around for at least 5 years.

Reddit will die when there is something better (for the user experience) available. Right now, I do not see a better general-purpose forum alternative.
Bringing NPCs into it makes it really interesting. You could imagine an NPC lying to the player in such a way that incautious players might lose game items that are worth real world money. That NPC, in a large MMO, could scam large numbers of people out of a large amount of value.

Is that wrong? Is it part of the game? Obviously there would be something wrong if you sold people your digital tokens and then took them away from players - you agreed to give them digital tokens and then took them away. But if an in-game character is making false representations as part of the game, that seems different.

The sad irony is that if HN is anything to go by, SQLite is super trendy now.

I feel like "just sqlite" was really a very practical idea and now, because it has already failed once, we can‘t really try it again, or can we?

Having the spec basically be "bundle one particular piece of software into the browser" might not be in the spirit of web standards, but on the other hand SQLite is so widely bundled into everything, does it really matter?

I'm actually surprised to see this comment so far down on HN.

I switched after Dropbox started imposing a device limit. There was a but of a learning curve to get it all set up and the quality of the client software can be hit-or-miss. That said, the core functionality (syncing files between devices) has been rock solid.
I find Image Capture to be perfect with the exception of the default file naming scheme (please just name the first file ‘Scan 1’, that would make so much more sense). QuickTime on the other hand is an embarrassment but I guess with alternatives like IINA it hardly matters.
These claims don't need to be credible. They're propaganda and theater to fire up the base, not something intended to stand up in court or convince anyone who knows what they're talking about.

Very few people know what actual cyber forensic data would look like, and any packet capture would be meaningless without a lot of context information about when, where, and how it was captured.

My favorite bit of propaganda leading up to the "pot dispensary putsch" of January 6th was the comical Qanon military LARPing in some of the Q drops. Shit like "testing alternate satellite route code (let cat walk on keyboard) trust the plan, Q". Meanwhile this junk is being posted on a shitty chan board with no cryptographic signature, because that's exactly how a real "Q-level" intelligence expert would communicate.

A real spy would never ever even use a PGP signature to authenticate their literally world saving information. They would also pre-announce their intent to take down a super-powerful global criminal cabal to make sure their adversaries knew ahead of time.

Absolutely hilarious nonsense for people who know nothing about computers, telecom, encryption, the military, or intelligence.

I would argue that narrative-building isn't necessarily wrong or insidious, as that's how some people understand their relationship to the world around them.

The fundamental premise of journalism as "writing the first draft of history" (in the best-faith interpretation) is that most significant things that happen are a confluence of conflicting claims, motivations, and understandings of circumstance and context. The work of the journalist is to piece those conflicts into a coherent essay such that a reader outside of the context of an event can piece together a mental model for actionable decisions relative to the event.

Not surprised in the least, SwiftUI is unfortunately nowhere near production ready on macOS, and arguably iOS depending on the use case.

Electron is essentially the only reasonable way to develop non trivial macOS applications at the moment.

It’s also v debatable whether the UX is much worse with electron as well, are text only List components still failing to scroll at 60fps? Can I rotate the utterly bog standard example Landmarks app’s detail scene without breaking the NavigationView?

And at least in ~2017-2018, the vast, vast majority of competent AppKit developers appeared to either be in China, or Cupertino, unlike UIKit.
One other big change since the 1990s, though, is that Creative Commons is now a real thing. Many publications/sites including Wikipedia, Stack Overflow and open-access journals release everything as CC by default, and Wikimedia Commons has become a treasure trove of materials that can be freely remixed.
Yes, that's a very reasonable assumption. I assume all information I give out will be shared beyond my control, unless the recipient promises in writing to protect it and would suffer proportionally if they broke that promise. In practice, this only happens when federal regulations apply (i.e., health care or banking).

If you want to rely on other people behaving a certain way in the future, either form a personal relationship or write up a contract.
This article is a factoid filled hit piece. Not defending Lindell, but I would encourage people to find better coverage of this event. Finding unbiased coverage is likely impossible, but try to find at least a few you regard highly and read through the mess.
I made a QT screen recording earlier this week, exported to 1080p, and uploaded it to Microsoft Streams, which worked fine.

So either the QT export was a standard h.264 file, or Microsoft Streams is set up to recognize whatever weirdness comes out of QT (which seems unlikely to me).

digg died fifteen years ago. clearly a lot has changed, and the mistakes that killed digg have not been made.

and i think reddit is beyond the point at which a digg-style fuckup could kill them. at worst you might see cadres of ideological users depart for something like lemmy, which is already happening to an extent, but there is a lot of space to flee internally, so most users don't feel the pressure. and diffusion to federated media is in the future for every mass audience. reddit has such a huge and active userbase it will dominate for the foreseeable future.

Uber Eats gained ground incredibly rapidly on other delivery options in my market, and then basically just as rapidly has lost it to DoorDash in the last couple years.

Batteries are better because of all those improvements.

>In fact, gains in the amount of energy [lithium-ion batteries] can store have been on the order of five percent per year. That means that the capacity of your current batteries is over 1.5 times what they would have held a decade ago… A study may identify a way to significantly improve one characteristic, generating an exciting top-line conclusion. But the design may be impractically poor in some other way. While battery researchers learn from what does and doesn’t work, this means that a lot of laboratory batteries you may read about will never hit the market…A recent study noted that “the real price of lithium-ion cells, scaled by their energy capacity, has declined by about 97 percent since their commercial introduction in 1991.” The early lithium-ion cells in the 1990s were around $3,000 per kilowatt-hour. By the early 2000s, that was nearer to $500 per kilowatt-hour.[1]

Ask HN: How short is too short for brief job stints on a resume to you?
I've been involved in hiring decisions at my current role and have interacted with quite a few engineers who've been at startups for short stints like 3-6 months. I'm a little worried we might onboard someone who won't stick around. We grant a competitive amount of stock, though I think the best way to get people to stay is a good environment for work, and meaningful work to do that feels rewarding.

How much would you weigh brief time at a company on a resume, would it differ if the brief stints were with larger companies?
This highlights an oddity I've always found fascinating about the Russian language: blue. Most languages have blue, then dark and light blue, and some smaller niches for specific niches like turqoise etc. Russian has "regular" blue (синий), a darker version of that blue (темносиний), and a lighter version of that blue (светлосиний). So far so good. But then it also has a very specific "lighter" blue (голубой), a darker "lighter" blue (темноголубой), and a lighter "lighter" blue (светлоголубой). What is it, I wonder, that historically brought forward the existence of two very distinctly different kinds of blue where most other cultures use one?
This thread proves the cast system on HN. Only rich people can comment on their survivorship bias and any poor person who comments gets treated with disrespect. There is going to be a time when great violence occurs because of this behavior. I look forward to it.
Mexico, Canada, Brazil and many other nations are part of "America" so I don't like the phrase "American".

Egypt and France have both had "riots" over fuel prices if you consider burning cars and the like to be a "riot".

Developing countries such as Egypt frequently have a policy to subsidize fuel, whereas European countries like France have a high tax on fuel. Thus there is a policy to explicitly control the price of fuel.

You might say that the US influences fuel prices indirectly through policy but I still think the market prevails despite that. I see that because fuel prices are notoriously volatile in the short term but remarkable stable in the long term. Higher prices really do modify user's behavior and promote investment in new capacities.

Policies in energy (nuclearization, synthetic fuels, Keystone XL pipeline, ...) often turn out to be irrelevant in the end, but technological changes (such as the replacement of steam turbines with gas turbines) seem to rule all in the long term.
Thank you for the insightful comments and questions!

1) There is a ton of interesting research on the topic of what happens from the onset of the stroke until permanent lesion formation.

In brief, there is usually a stroke "core" where the damage starts within seconds to minutes.

However there is a big volume surrounding the core, usually referred to as "penumbra" that is of substantial size and remains "live" longer due to access to collateral blood flow. This practically means that the small arteries which run in parallel to the main one that was blocked (causing the stroke) can sustain the surrounding tissue for a longer period of time than the core. However this blood flow is not enough to sustain those tissues in perpetuity and as a result the penumbra will also "die" if no treatment is provided promptly to re-establish flow in the "main" artery.

So there is a real race to save the penumbra!! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penumbra_(medicine))

Summarizing the above -> Time=Brain.

The most important point to keep in mind is that for treatment to be provided there must be something "left" to save upon arrival at the hospital. This is usually not the case when people get strokes during sleep or when they are alone (it's hard to detect so there is a ton of delays pre-911)

2) The management of a stroke depends on the stroke type, location, severity, symptoms. For ischemic strokes (85% of all strokes) the strategy is to bring the patient as quickly to the hospital, complete imaging diagnosis and re-establish blood flow in the affected vessel (via thrombolysis or thrombectomy)

These options are really well explained here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stroke/treatment/

3) We are optimizing our tools for zero false positives. Final product requirements will be set in communication with the FDA.
