Which doesn't imply that more aren't needed or possible.

Why couldn't overdrive simply cut a deal where a group of people (a school, a county, a company with benefits) is allowed to 'check out' a copy. Archive.org has that sort of concept for individuals of course (for free). I don't see any value added by getting the library involved (which are mostly just free internet, warming/cooling centers and bathrooms for the homeless, a source of self-help books and romance novels for a tiny section of an ageing population).

To be fair, the feature creep in public libraries is important to keep the iron rice bowl full. It would be more honest to put together a local 'activity center' that happens to have a few books.
Well the future will be ‘interesting’ if it is all approximately the same culture. Then the only reason to travel would be to look at different earth formations and buildings, and experience different weather?.

I’m currently working on just this. The concept allows you to search a combination of Wikipedia terms to find people at that intersection. Eg. Blockchain/JavaScript, Fermentation/Kombucha, Aquaponics/Blueberries, Electric Bicycle/Solar, etc.

Currently it’s set up much like HN, with ability to submit things at an intersection for others to find.

I’m also considering creating a game world map based off the entirety of Wikipedia. Then once you find a niche intersection you can drop into the world at the corresponding coordinates and chat with people nearby (searching the same or similar niches).
Did anyone ever figure out if Cybertruck is delayed to 2022 or just that orders placed now would fulfill in 2022?
You raise the tax rate so that land has more value/return having multi-storey buildings than single-storey ones.

Toronto (Canada) used to have a lot of flat parking lots, but they're basically all gone now. Gas stations downtown are getting hard to find (not that you have to drive far to kind one out of the "core"):

* https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2020/11/last-gas-...

Edit: it should be noted that Toronto didn't actually raise rates. Land just got more "inherently" valuable/expensive, and even with one of, if not the lowest property tax rates in the province, you get a large resulting product when you do the multiplication.
I get that too. It seems like it could have been some kind of race condition
Except most of Reddit’s most valuable users (the ones who spend time and contribute) don’t use any of that because the experience is terrible. Pretty much everyone uses the old.reddit.com that doesn’t really need product development and performs way better than the new site. All of their innovation and product dev is going into the new site, where few people see it.

I look at reddit and see a company that has built a product that it’s users like, but they can’t monetize that product. Everything they try the users either revolt over or ignore completely, and the politics of running the site are becoming untenable.

I wouldn’t touch this IPO with a mile long stick. There is no upside at any valuation that would be worth an IPO.

Yes to both.

There was a time when Unity had momentum because it was free* and the documentation was (comparatively) better than Unreal for the average user.

The learning curve for unity is arguably better for 3D and inarguably better for 2D than Unreal.

False dichotomy.

If a person with cancer is hit by a bus, their death is not and should not be attributed to cancer. Likewise, if someone with a critical illness is robbed of their last few months by COVID, then it is correct to attribute their death to COVID.

The logic of "they were going to die anyways" means we might as well change every cause of death to "old age" or "natural causes", because if nothing else gets us, that's how we will all eventually die. But, of course, that would be stupid, and it would make death statistics meaningless - which is why we don't do it for COVID deaths.
When we make accusations like this, its becoming to actually point to specific examples where specific individuals or organizations have done this. For example, this doesn't accord with my recollection, by my recollection is skewed in various ways.

One potential reason is that the 2d support in Unreal is not very good.
> The fact is there's no market for the product.

That's empirically not true; the first such product approved for clinical use entered the market in the late 90s, and they've had small-to-medium success since. Definitely none of them changed things radically, but it's pretty common CAD functionality now and has both detractors and champions.

> Radiologists can fly through those exams with high quality,

This is also not entirely true, one of the biggest problems for screening (not diagnostic) programs is that the false negative rate for radiologists is high. They do fly through these scans, but that's to make it economically feasible. Also, the average radiologist performance on screening mammo is not very good - most have to do it regularly (probably 100s per month) to do it well.

You are right that augmentation is the more plausible path to clinical success, but that's been what most of the clinical systems aim to do anyways, provide a sanity check on the radiologist.
Drat, I didn't come up with a perfect plan, with no possible hypothetical what-if responses. Back to the drawing board.

It's a solution to keep corporations that grow big enough to cause societal issues, having grown that big through utilizing society's resources, somewhat more accountable. There might be issues, but I'd suspect there to be more issues with the current solution: being "nothing."

> And speaking of IRC, even some games like the original Quake used IRC for in game chat right? And Twitch the video streaming platform used to have its chat built on IRC but I don’t know if it still is. Either way, it’s evident that it is more suitable for real time conversation.

Sure, IRC is all delivery and no permanence. But Discord is the opposite of that; it's all permanent forum posts.

"More suitable" is a weird thing to say. They refer to different things. IRC is a transport protocol. Discord is a website. The logical comparison would be between IRC and HTTP.

how did they get access to your mail?
Very interesting read.

Side question : my initial assumption on Apple's announcement was that they (like everyone else) were using PhotoDNA.

Apple's own perceptual hash has been found in current iOS and macOS releases, do we actually know if it is matching the results of that hash to a PhotoDNA database server side or not ? If not, did they train their model on the raw database with NCMEC's help ?

There was so much hand waving on their "tech" papers (and the recent announcement that they have a server side check anyway as a response to collisions being found), that I have a hard time reconciling everything.
That page explains the fallacy poorly. Like a lot of Wikipedia articles on technical topics, it gives an explanation that only makes sense to people who already know the concept (or at least I assume it does). For the rest of us, maybe someone could provide a clearer explanation?
Agreed, I really wish Lemmy and similar would get more love. There are so many awesome federated projects.

Maybe ot but it seems like the federated services are doing a really good job of keeping the crazies away. Nobody will link with hate groups so they can't recruit from the wider user base. Meanwhile Facebook and Reddit just leave hate groups alone and allow them to game algorithmic feeds for rage-engagement such that they have no trouble pulling vulnerable people from the wider community and radicalizing them.
At this point we can only hope that Nazi China implodes before it enslaves most of the world.

This is a fantasy. Reddit management has always paid lip service to "free speech at all costs", until reddit itself has to bear even the smallest of those costs at which point the principle is rapidly jettisoned. There are so many examples I don't even know where to start, from the perverted (jailbait) to the political (the_donald) to the offended zoomers (fatpeoplehate).
I understand and respect your point of view. I even agree with it in general. But in this particular case, it seems really off. The issue has been debated ad nauseam so it makes no sense to repeat the arguments, and it looks like there are two camps and it is going to stay this way. But this is supposed to be an interview with the creator of Bash, and the interviewer suddenly pops in with his opinions about RMS, talking about him in very base terms - but nobody even asked him about it!

My point is if we, as a community, start to ignore these acts of passive of active aggression, we will become worse as human beings - and hence my reaction. (And at the same time I'm sorry to see you intervene - I admire your hard work and I'm happy that thanks to you HN is a better place.)
I played with a dozen different game engines before settling on Unity, mainly because the quantity and quality of the tutorials/guides and community around it. I have to search less to find my answers compared to other engines.
I'm aware that's a Rammstein song, however American (Anglo-American does not mean what you appear to think it does) culture has little do do with the fact that English is on the list of most spoken languages. The reason for this stems back far before signal transmission was able to deliver the global audience. It comes from colonization by the English, and them installing English government, and as a consequence importing English folk into the territories. This is nothing more than Americentrism.
Wow that’s an interesting concept! I’ve only ever thought of these services one by one, I hadn’t thought of bundling them under the same service (except when they’re thematically linked like prometheus & jaeger for example).

Glad someone else is thinking along the same lines! F/OSS could be so much better with the help of platforms — there’s space for a win win as long as the platform side just pares down the greed a tiny bit.

Juan made it very clear in a follow up tweet that Sega would have had to have made significant changes to the engine in order to ship a game on it.

I spent three months working in Godot a few years ago and it was clear even then that there were significant bugs in major systems. If you want to ship on Godot you had better be prepared to roll up your sleeves and dive right down deep into the engine.

This is one of the few bugs I logged before finally giving up on the engine.

The object pooling system reuses references so that your script can't tell when a reference to an object it is holding, changes. They doubled down on the bug by making the behavior in Debug different to a Release build. It's marked closed, but users still report it happening.

There's another problem with Finland - it's just too geographically isolated. It's de-facto an island. To make matters worse, it's also a monotonous forested flatland. Not much of historical sites to speak of either.

Do Japanese women WANT that place? I'm bet money they don't just like how American women don't.
Now, perhaps. But that's a recent development, really only over the past 50-100 years. English language hegemony predates that. Prior to the very recent development of American cultural export, English was propagated around the world by England and their colonization. In fact, it's more accurate to say that English colonization enabled the United States to export its culture in the first place. Views like yours are exemplars of Americentrism.

> You can also basically pronounce vowels however you want.

I've been learning Hungarian, which has 14 vowels, all pronounced differently. To my American ears, the differences are very subtle and I often mix them up. To my surprise, even though I think the mix up is subtle, people often have a hard time understanding which words I meant to say. It's interesting to me that this works in some languages and not others.

You've given some examples in English. And in Spanish, there's a game called "hablando con los i's" (speaking with i's), where you replace every vowel with an i, and things are still very much understandable. For example: "Yi istiy hiblindi cin lis i's".

>How do you know all of them were on autopilot?

I don't, but statistically speaking, some of them likely were.

Tesla has shipped about 1.6M units globally, with most of those in the US. Let conservatively estimate half of those stayed in the US, and half of that half have used autopilot frequently enough for a high degree of opportunity of these kinds of crashes. That is still 250,000 vehicles. 12 of those being involved in crashes is a pretty low number, and we also do not know how many scenarios they avoided that a human might have missed.

> It's also 12 more than any normal attentive human has gotten into

What is your definition of "normal attentive human"? There are tons of studies showing how humans suck at long-term tasks that are repetitive or non-engaging (like highway driving). People get distracted all the time while driving and cause accidents. Sure an "attentive" human would not run into a police vehicle, but there are not enough of those on the road most days.

In other words, "No."

We've pretty much broken the global supply chains with the pandemic, the responses to it, and everything else as the wheels of our global industrial civilization start grinding to a halt.

Even the "big boys" are struggling - Toyota has cut production roughly in half because they can't get chips. GM just announced they are shutting down most of their North American plants for two weeks because... they can't get chips.

Supply chains are broken. Basic electronic components, basic microcontrollers, are listed many places as "We don't have any, we don't know when we'll have any, don't ask" (coded as "52 week lead time" - I assume that's the maximum the system supports). You can't rely on getting stuff, and if you do get it, you can't rely on getting the same stuff in a month. This is before getting into any of the various global events that could really put a crimp on chip supplies...

Just once, I'd love to see Tesla be honest. "We have no idea if we're ever going to be able to make these at this point."

For the majority of programmers I think it's lack of experience with data structures of any kind. C programmers have to understand pointers and most (I assume) would have implemented at the very least their own linked list at some point and maybe even a tree. But there are so many programmers who simply lack this experience so talk of pointers, links, graphs etc. is unfamiliar.

Then there are those whom I'm sure should have the necessary experience (because they are C programmers, for example), but still don't seem to get it. These people I think just don't care. They don't care about version control and therefore it's irrelevant what git is trying to represent. They just want to get their code merged.
