Because we don't know what the full implications of training with untested, pseudoscientific 'tricks' from some website will be? Because for some people alterations in perception might be destabilizing? Because someone does not fully understand it? Because it's possible to train your mind to do the wrong things as a healthy person with no idea what you're doing?

Your assessment of site's content is just that -- an assessment by a random person on the internet about a subject they can't concretely demonstrate expertise in. A subject that, if misapplied, can ruin people's lives. If someone says "no I'm fine", that's enough.

Like I said before, I don't think anybody needs to justify to anyone else why they don't want to tamper with their mind. It's baffling to me why this isn't sufficient.
Thanks! I love getting answers like this from the community.
The abstract of the first paper says "Remarkably, the choice of DNN, datacenter, and processor can reduce the carbon footprint up to ~100-1000X." If your aim is to optimize CO2 emissions you have a lot of variable at your disposal and the architecture of the network is just one of them.

If the paper from the post indeed tried to evaluate and compare various kinds of optimization, then citing the CO2 emissions would be valid. But since it only discusses the improvements in the model itself, then it would be much more productive to just point to the reductions in the required memory, GPU/TPU-time etc.

The readers can do the carbon math themselves depending on how carbon-neutral is their datacenter.
I had the exact same problem. Even all the http servers had a lot of .net boilerplate to get started. A lot of that should be abstracted. I built an http server library that abstracts the .net parts. https://wiz.run/

The hello world server:

open Wiz.Server
open Wiz.Context
open Wiz.Route

let myHandler ctx =
ctx |> sendText "Abra Kadabra Kalamazoo!"

let myRoutes = [
get "/" myHandler
]

genServer()
|> setRoutes myRoutes
|> run
"Allow"? They aren't doing anything to disallow them?

You can use ANGLE if you want, for instance?

I wouldn't recommend using OpenGL for any new software, though, it is hopelessly clunky and outdated for modern applications.
Not sure if you managed to get your money back. But if you didn't, go research the contingent reimbursement model (CRM). Pretty much every major bank has signed up to it, and the CRM requires banks to reimburse victims, if the scam is sophisticated and the victim took reasonable steps to avoid the scam.

it's extremely easy to file the FBAR forms. and the rest are standard tax forms, and you even get to file later. I lived abroad and ran a US and Argentine company and had 2 accountants and a bookkeeper, so it can get complex when you have a lot of employees, but for the first few years abroad, when it was just me doing remote consulting, i just did it myself and it's not difficult.
It’s not a nice response, but IT needs to be able to answer questions about the extent of a given breach (what info was accessed by whom and when). This is a legal requirement in the case of health information. Ideally people could be courteous while fulfilling their legal obligations, but IT folks aren’t generally chosen for their public relations or customer service skills.

Looking at the story, this is more of a posture thing. I'm sure the Governor is surrounded with people who can tell him that no hacking took place, but why miss an opportunity to show you take the privacy of Missourians to heart.

From the study:

"The metrics were compiled from publicly available sports federation databases and/or tournament/competition records."

"Although not an exhaustive list, examples of performance gaps in a range of sports with various durations, physiological performance determinants, skill components and force requirements are shown..." [0]

To clarify why I'm quoting these - I don't think they're trying to spin it one way or the other. Reading the report one can see that they say things like "which creates advantages in sports where levers influence force application, where longer limb/digit length is favorable", i.e. not all sports.

So, they're coming to the same conclusion. Either way - some small percentage of people are always going to be upset if they can't just do whatever they want.

This is useful. I used to like, and went through lots of the "Blender Cookie" stuff; even got a paid subscription - but they pivoted to online courses and lots of their individual tutorials and previous work disappeared.
I don't think I can blame a politician for being technically illiterate, especially one that old.

I don't think age should excuse this guy at all, nor do I buy into the meme that age has much of anything to do with technical literacy. Consider that Brian Kernighan is ~78, Tim Berners-Lee is 66 (the same age as Governor Parsons here), James Gosling is also 66, Rob Pike is 65, Steve Wozniak is 71, Geoffrey Hinton is 73, and so on. And that's not even considering folks who were around so early they've already passed away, like Marvin Minsky, Dennis Ritchie, John McCarthy, etc.

This is optimistic, it would require traditional financial service regulators like the SEC to ceed power to a new agency. That's very unlikely to happen. Most of the regulatory institutions in America work to increase their power not hand it off to a new agency. We see this in coinbases own fight with the SEC and other agencies about who regulates yield earning stablecoins.

It seems deeply odd to say anecdotes don't help and then talk about movies, if it doesn't help him it doesn't help you
I dunno, this seems pretty normal. Just today news broke that in Germany some guy who found a flaw in a web-shop backend leaking the data of hundreds of thousands of people got raided, because the operator reported him to the police - and somehow both police and state attorney found it wise to prosecute him instead of referring the case to the GDPR officer to fine the operator.

It's pretty obvious that when you find a flaw you simply don't approach the people responsible for it, unless they have an EXCELLENT reputation of dealing with this. Otherwise do an anonymous full disclosure (edit: if you have an entity that routinely handles this sort of thing and has an EXCELLENT reputation, that would work too). If nothing happens, provide a PoC.

Of course people, even in IT, are kind of weird here. Somehow responsible disclosure got into people's minds as The Good And Proper Thing to do, and full disclosure being somehow irresponsible. Analogy: Some guy finds out the mayor is completely corrupt or does some illegal stuff. What do you do? a) Disclose this through e.g. the press b) Approach the mayor and try to get him to fix his stuff. Somehow, when it comes to IT security, people wanna see hackers do b) because a) would clearly be irresponsible. Wtf?

Read more history! (Especially read what the Wilson administration did to the Socialists - the origin of the phrase "yelling fire in a crowded theater." Many of us would riot if this happened today.) Stories like this have been happening since long before I was born, and will continue to happen long after I die, because voters will continue to elect stupid people some fraction of the time. The correct response isn't nihilism, but constant vigilance, and constant shaming of elected officials who abuse their powers.

The hogged resource for me is disk space. The more recent versions are bundling more and more features like a web-based word processor etc. that are just useless baggage for me. (I do like the calendar and contact sync.) I have a small hosted site with a tiny personal Nextcloud instance, just for sharing a handful of files, plus a small Wordpress site, and I had to upgrade from 500 MB to 1 GB to fit it in and also be able to run the upgrader.
Ask HN: Does a VC seed round make you “venture-backed”?
Does the term "venture-backed company" imply you've raised a Series A or beyond from VCs? Or does it still apply even if you've just raised, e.g., a $2M seed round from a VC? I know the seed rounds don't impact VCs' fund performance metrics as consequentially as their later stage investments do for some reason

Well, the straightforward approach would be to replace the zoom with transform, since it's standard and not deprecated.

>Microsoft only paying 7.5 billion for GitHub definitely makes me less confident that GitLab is worth 10 billion.

It's worth considering that between 2018 and now, tech valuations have exploded. MSFT is up 300%. QQQ is up 100%. I doubt GitHub is valued anywhere near 7.5B today.
Yes, since FB is a money printing machine producing lots of revenue which is some argument forms one market value for parts of a company.

The argument Here was "ORCL, MSFT, SalesForce and a few others would pay 10B+" but those would pay those valuations only for full control.

FB's market cap is around 900B$. Gaining full control over FB would be valued a lot more.
Her essentially 3 reasons for renouncing essentially and my responses:

>I could vote in the US, but no one represents the needs of US citizens abroad because our votes are dispersed over all 50 states.

* there's hundreds of millions of people and only two parties in the U.S. no one represents anybodies needs well

>I pay almost $1000 per year to an accountant to fill out the forms—more and lengthier than they’d be if I lived in the US—only to prove I owe nothing, since I pay taxes here in the Netherlands. FATCA forces me to hand over my private financial information, as well as my non-American husband’s, to an extent that homeland Americans don’t have to unless they’re suspected of a crime. FATCA strong-arms our local banks into handing over our private financial information as well.
It treats my local accounts as being equivalent to hiding money overseas.

* Taxes and the FATCA issues....to me and I'm sure billions of other people: $1000$ bucks a year is well worth it for a U.S. citizenship...Turning over financial records of the non-American spouse...this one doesn't add up, just do Married Filing Separately status in tax return.

>Without an address in the US, I can’t open an investment account there; with US nationality, it is becoming more and more difficult to do any investment or borrowing outside of the US.

* this doesn't make sense. Why would having a citizenship affect if a Dutch bank loaned you money as long as your credit score was good?

The reasons she gives don't make sense to me...something feels off here.
This governor is an idiot and should be removed from office for this.
struct Entity {
components: Vec<Box<dyn Component>>,
}

At this point you're effectively just hand-rolling your own ECS - and perhaps being in denial about it by touting the fact that the ECS is half implemented at best - rather than eschewing an ECS outright, IMO. If you want to skip the ECS, embrace the natural typing of the language - then you don't need to build something to query and filter components, and can instead just use the language's built-in constructs:

struct Entity {
pub position: Option<XY>,
pub sprite: Option<SpriteId>,
pub scripts: Vec<ScriptRef>,
//...
}

fn render_world(entities: &[Entity]) {
for entity in entities {
if let Entity { position: Some(xy), sprite: Some(sprite), .. } = entity {
// ...
}
}
}

Entity may eventually become a merge hazard on larger teams, and Entity enumeration without archetype filtering may eventually become a performance hazard if done too frequently and naively, but this kind of approach can work fine for many smaller projects.
This was common at many schools.

The key difference is the product. What a company has a monopoly over is important and is a factor in whether the government takes action and what kind of action they take. Heck, the government even enforces temporary monopolies of specific technologies to promote R&D.

A video game console is marketed and used as a video game console by most people. Mobile phones and tablets are used as mobile general purpose computing devices. I know many people who only have mobile phones and tablets as their computer.

This means everything they do online and in their cyber lives is through their phone. That means two companies have complete control of communications, banking, emergency alerts, voting information, dating/relationships, political discussions, job functions/searches, photo storage, shopping, education, entertainment, identification cards, health care, physical access credentials, schedules, location data, IoT device control, password managers, news, navigation/travel, religious apps, etc.

If gaming consoles begin to be used for most of these things.. then maybe we should look at it as a monopoly that needs to be broken or regulated, but until then its apple and oranges.
Do you know how we got penicillin? Alexander Fleming didn't keep a clean lab.

Do you know how we discovered X-Rays? Henri Becquerel realized his photographic plates had been darkened after being left in a drawer with uranium sulfate.

Do you know how electric guitar distortion was discovered? Willie Kizart dropped his Fender amp.

Worse things have happened than experimenting by throwing one more transform on your inputs before processing them.
Your lecture on jurisprudence and standards of evidence is misplaced. This isn't a courtroom. We are not judges presiding over a case. These are matters of politics and profession as much as law and here we are free to interpret behavior, state our views and consider our associations as our knowledge and experience inform us. Further, unlike Facebook which has long since squandered whatever good faith one might imagine they were owed, we are owed the assumption of good faith while doing it.
This might be an odd, or unpopular opinion, but I really wish there were more tutorials written down, in text, with separate images and instructions. I don't like searching YouTube videos for specific steps, but plain HTML documentation is greppable. Blender does have docs -- and they're usually very good, but often out of date. Creatives really shine on YouTube, and make amazing things, but hardly anyone seems to put together a page of instructions. I have memories of using an educational version of Cinema 4D, and one thing that struck me was the quality of the written, html-based documentation that was readable and educational.

I'm delighted Apple is helping blender, I think it's a fantastic amazing project, and I have huge respect for all who work with it and make tutorials. I just want to learn to get better at it, quickly. I've found that I've got an unexpected barrier to entry to get my brain to work with its UI -- probably because I'm conditioned by earlier experiences -- and I don't think that I've been helped by having to watch videos with frequent pausing to see what modifier keys were pressed, with little ability to quickly randomly access the material afterwards.
I used to use CentOS for all my Linux servers, but that's no longer an option of course.

I've been using Vmware PhotonOS for Docker host VMs, and I'm pretty happy with it.

For everything else though... I'm thinking Ubuntu, but I'm not sure. Might a *BSD be a good option? Does it have any real advantages over Linux? Or any drawbacks for that matter?
GitLab CI is world-class.
Really? Had no idea.
They did release it for the windows XP 64bit editions for AMD64. So no it was definitely released, it has rendering issues but it is there and works AFAIK. As best I can tell it was removed because it didn't fit vista's aesthetic not that they couldn't get it to work.

Because if MS had that agreement... almost nothing would have been released on AMD64 as very little actually made it to IA-64 or was supported there realistically.
I'm not sure why the order of this thread seems to have gotten screwed up.

In your view (or the view you are defending) is there any reason to be compassionate towards other beings ? If the answer is yes than that compassion should have extended to avoiding all manifestation so as to prevent their suffering.

If the answer is no, because they are just like characters in a novel, then there seems to be a very fundamental difference in morality between this view and most other spiritual teachings, which do teach compassion.
Can you share a source for that? I know at least 1 person first hand who has renounced and then later on in their life regained citizenship. It's possible the rules around this have changed however.
> The technology to make monoclonal antibodies is simpler than that for mRNA vaccines.

It’s more mature technology, but unlike the mRNA vaccines it’s not cell free and as a result is harder to scale up. At similar scale mRNA will still be cheaper; that’s one if mRNA’s biggest selling points.
More realistic avatars is interesting because it shows they're trying to make a broader platform that reaches outside their current demographic of mainly kids.

The face tracking via webcams is intriguing, I have implemented something similar in three.js for live synced facial expressions. I think this tech is the future of the metaverse, especially when you think it's applications VR and how your movements will be mapped 1:1 to your virtual avatar. On the topic of VR, I fully expect Roblox to launch on Quest 2 and future headsets bringing all of the content created for the platform into a new immersive paradigm.

Roblox is probably going to take things a step further on the virtual goods side and allow for items in-world to be minted on the blockchain as NFT's. Cosmetics, worlds, games, can all be owned by the users, which will see a massive uptake as it means better monetization for content creators. Their end goal is for everyone to use Roblox for work, play, and socializing, with all three blending into one to become the #1 place society spends time online. Just like billions of people today have a profile picture and page, and create content, their will be a 3D equivalent that equates to having an avatar identity, and spaces you've created and customized. That's the metaverse right there.

This is going to be incredibly disruptive to most social networks, as it means we're moving to a persistent, shared simulation that affords users a better sense of presence and being together.

We're in for a truly wild ride, folks.

The title only said "Governor" so I was like "gee, who is this guy/gal?" and so I RTFA and went back to the comments. Many were still referring to him as "Governor" and not by name so I thought it would be useful to mention his name. I then started reading his Wikipedia page and discovered he's a real piece of crap (IMHO) and decided to include that summary in my post. Am I starting crap? Maybe, but I think some background on his recent decisions in his role as Governor would be relevant to an article questioning a recent decision in his role as Governor.

>Thankfully, I had another credit card I could use.

You pretty much have to these days, preferably with the second one being from a different bank and potentially different payment processor. Between random fraud triggers and cards being frozen because of fraudulent charges or attempts, you really need a backup.

I've never had trouble dealing with the problem by phone but I'm still out the credit card in a foreign city for a few days and I may not even be at a location where I can easily have something sent to me.
thinking more about it, F# needs to appeal to non-dotnet developers and other developers looking for a functional language for real workloads.

You could tell a similar story about vulture capital in many other industries. So it makes me wonder: what value to society do these practices provide?
