AR camera shots often have an uncanny valley appearance.

It would be cool if there were an option to have the initial simulated image ‘annealed’ with a generative adversarial network.

Maybe you could also partner with local frame builders (ask for 2% of sales or something) to send clients your way, since, so often, the frame has a large effect on the art’s aesthetic impact.
Truly living up to the URL! Great stuff
Yes. The official stance of the OpenJDK organization is that there is no such thing as a "JRE" anymore, and applications are expected to use jlink or similar to bundle a customized Java runtime.

The distributions that matter here are for the JDK, which simply provides the "full" Java runtime along with developer tools such as javac and jlink.
Cool project!

I have a pretty extensive niche art collection at home, and this sort of thing would be really useful. If I could suggest one important addition...

It would be great if you could set a surrounding frame and matting. You could maybe offer a few different frame styles/colours, and let users access a colour picker to select the shade for the matting. Then you could project a "framed" piece of art on the wall with AR.

This would make it really easy to see how a new piece would look in context, alongside other artwork which has been professionally framed. It would save a lot of uncertainty before a visit to the framing shop :)
I think so, it's an alternative frontend to youtube servers. Like NewPipe on android.

That's fine. As long as the sensor is available the user can expose it. I think this is a pretty cool idea, and would yield more accurate measurements than estimating based off of latitude and cloud coverage alone. Albeit it'll all but guarantee tan lines.

The lack of communication for an outage this big is absolutely shameful. I put this on the leadership, not any of the engineers working round the clock. Having been in the middle of a critical service outage that lasted over 24 hours I totally get the craziness of the situation, but Roblox seriously needs to revisit their incident management and customer update process. Even though kids are the main consumers of the app, the near total silence speaks volumes about their business's lack of preparedness for disaster scenarios. If nothing else, I hope they'll see this as an opportunity to learn and do better next time.
Not easy, unless you have an ability to identify opportunities that others don't have (such as applying your domain knowledge on a new trend, as I mentioned). You may do better than the market (market == passive index fund == averages) sometime, and worse some other time. And over a long time, you may just end up matching the market, minus any fees. With a passive index fund, the fees will be tiny.
> I take 10,000 IU with vitamin K about 5x/week. I am 35 now and I happened to check my levels around Jan 2020, to make sure I wasn’t overdoing it. I was at 53 ng/mL, which was perfect.

As a counter example, I took 5,000 IU per day and almost ended up over the 100ng/dL upper limit. I had to reduce my supplementation to avoid overdose.

Vitamin D supplementation is very person-dependent, so I recommend anyone supplementing with higher dose supplements (5000IU and up) check their blood levels every few years.

> Just because windows says the GPU is "100"% doesn't mean it's using maximum power; I've had games that make the fans go crazy at "100%" and games that at "100%" the fans never leave their default.

I don't know tax laws in other countries, sorry. Some of them have similar tax-sheltered retirement accounts though.

The 15-30% is if you're being very aggressive (but not reckless) with leverage. You wouldn't get that much in Wealthfront's default portfolio, or a target-date mutual fund, for example. That's also on average over time; some years will return much more than 30%, and some will lose money, and, of course, past performance can't guarantee future results. Broad market conditions could shift enough to invalidate any strategy. But you can do better than index funds. Compare PSLDX to SPY over the same period: https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&t...

Notice that they both had ~50% drawdowns, bottoming around 2009, but PSLDX was not that much worse, and grew faster afterwards. SPY also had a slightly worse worst year. PSLDX had significantly more volatility, but the returns more than made up for it, giving it a better Sharpe ratio than SPY. So not only are the absolute risks comparable, but the higher Sharpe means that if you leverage PSLDX down to SPY's volatility (by keeping a 17% cash balance), the drawdown was smaller and the return is still higher than SPY at ~15% instead of ~11%.
And yet, that (generally) true statement seems hardly a deterrent to production or use thereof.

Cheapest to deploy, meaning adding new energy sources.

For instance, even since the year or two that EIA has last updated their numbers to the numbers that just came out that include August 2021... the amount of total solar (far right column) generated (154TWh) vs total electricity generated (4087TWh) gives about 3.8% solar electricity for the last 12 months rolling.

Correct, EXCEPT for thin film cells by First Solar (who make the whole module). Although hopefully this is changing.
People are very bad at estimating risks using their gut feelings. They overestimate low probabilities and underestimating high.

Did you know that polio is survivable in 99.8% of cases and asymptomatic in 92% (up to 99% by some estimates) of cases?

So, was it worth inventing a vaccine for it? Or taking it? Risking long term effects?

About long term effect of mRNA vaccines... you know what has long term effects? Covid.

And if anyone read about mRNA technology for an afternoon it would be painfully obvious to them that whatever super long term effects covid vaccines might have, covid will virtually surely cause them as well, because mRNA vaccines don't do anything else than covid does. And don't fool yourself that you don't get covid. Unless you are planning to die of something else soon. I will not get covid is as silly as saying I won't get neither flu nor cold before I die, even asymptomatically.

> It makes more sense for individuals to evaluate their risk tolerance and circumstances to decide which trade-offs they are willing to take on.

No, it doesn't, because people actively avoid available knowledge in their personal risk estimations. So their estimation of both the risk and their willingness to take on risks is estimated wrong.

Did you hear about a single person dying in hospital from covid saying, "we'll maybe I'm dying but I'm proud of my decision to not get vaccinated, not supporting mask wearing" or whatever? Because plenty of such people recognized they were horribly wrong in their estimations.
The sheer quantity of things not even started because of the excess cost of targeting everything absolutely dwarfs the sum total of what is now built for this or that target. We have seen this dynamic play out over and over again, in the past six+ decades, going all the way back to FORTRAN.

A standard target would multiply the size of this "market" many times over, generating additional demand for implementations throughout multiple industries. Balkanization has always been a debilitating tax on everyone, not excepting "market leaders" scrapping over the artificially reduced pie. Everyone made way more money after FORTRAN than before.
> Pay money for the very very valuable data

I would assume a primary internal use for this would be to test their driver against specific applications and to develop enhancements and improvements for them. The driver offers application specific mappings, so perhaps they want to know what applications are actually being used to better inform their efforts.

If the drivers are continuously updated with this information to provide an improved experience for the largest parts of their user base, then they are effectively paying back for the use of this data.

If that's as far as their use of this data goes, then what more do they directly owe you for the data?
Reframing riots as protests and vice versa was exactly my point in the post above. It's not a "tell", I explicitly stated it. The official media story was that these were "protests" and even if they were riots, well it was the "good kind of riot". The BLM riots didn't bother me any more than anti-mandate protests bother me. It's all well within Americans' constitutional rights to do so. If you want to kneel during the national anthem or shout "Let's Go Brandon", it's all fair play. However, it's not controversial to simply notice the major news outlets valorize any protest movement that has progressive aims while demonizing any protest by conservatives.
>> This justification for bash has always been perplexing to me. If I’m operating in an environment where my ONLY reliable infra invariant is “bash will probably work”, cleaning up the org’s infrastructure clusterfuck is probably my #1 priority.

> That is not your job.

This sort of thing is definitely your job have the word "Principal" in your job title, and probably also if the word "Senior is in there as well ;-)

And in any case everyone is responsible for excellence in the milieu in which their team operates. If Senior or even fresh grad Jr. comes to me with a solid good idea I'll champion for it as if it were my own baby. And then recommend/fight for rapid promotion in the case of Jr or put in a good word for promotions for the Sr.

If you recommend your org have standardized images with well-documented info about language versions etc. and the answer you get from your management/tech leadership is "not your job", I recommend finding a new job.

> Adding a new package means going to the production committee with your proposal and justification and analysis of the increased threat surface.

The context of my quote was "knowing which version of ruby/perl/python is installed". There's almost certainly a version of one of those on your standard linux machine, and everyone pushing to prod should damn well be able to look up exactly which one.

> Adding a new package

The general debate here goes way beyond adding a new package. Good infra needs WAY better invariants than "definitely bash is installed in the usual place". If a concern is "IDK which version of Ruby is installed on the machines I'm targeting" then either you're fighting fires and need to keep every intervention really damn simple or else your org as Real Issues. In either case, bash is the enemy.

> The defaults are everything.

Those defaults aren't handed down from Gods. Your org chooses them.

HN is absolutely not the most popular tech forum in the world (most stories struggle to get half a thousand votes, and the actual rate of access for HN is so low that dang is alarmed when he sees more than sixty logged-in queries a second[0]), and reddit just reposts what's on HN.

You're conflating "I read this" with "The world reads this." This is a common error. The trick is to realize that your experience with the internet is not universal, and that it is unlikely you are the average user in any group you're in.

Further, it doesn't even show up on the subreddit you mention very often; I just checked the reddit BigQuery database and FORTH posts don't collect a portion of upvotes worth mentioning in any given year.

Also: Using superfluous question marks for emphasis is a reddit habit. It should not be done on HN, because it is annoying and lowers the quality of discussion; the guidelines forbid uppercase-emphasis for this reason, and this is more egregious.

OpenJDK is also their JDK.
some mystics have said plainly for a long while that logic-reason by itself enables insane conclusions and perhaps actions. I agree.
It is confusing from the outside though, trying to decide if you should use Java from your distro, from Oracle, Azul, Amazon Corretto, AdoptOpenJDK, Eclipse Temurin, or Red Hat OpenJDK. Which ones have might have builds for your various platforms, what support they might offer, how closely they track OpenJDK, etc.

One good example is what is meant by "LTS". You get different answers to that question depending on which JDK it is.[1]

I don't remember another language where it was ever this confusing.

No, that’s a completely healthy level of respect. Maybe you just don’t value your eyes or understand lasers. I’m sorry to tell you that you have to live in a world where other people do value their eyes.
I get you on Amazon, they are abusing their function as a market platform for others and that needs cracking down on. That's not really anything to do with being a monopoly, it's just abuse, I suppose being dominant makes it easier to do it. That's not going to stop them dominating the market though, just stop them abusing that dominance.

How does spinning off google's non-search businesses address the dominance of Google search? I don't see how gmail or docs makes any difference to that. I don't see how making Youtube a separate company benefits youtube users.

How does spinning off Instagram and whatsApp from the facebook social network make any difference to anything? The facebook social network would still be dominant. It would make no difference to their ability to collude with google on ads, those are completely orthogonal issues.

I'm not saying these companies aren't dominant in their market segment. They should not be allowed to abuse that dominance through e.g. coluding on ad placement. Regulation and enforcement is needed. However nothing you have suggested would make any difference to the dominance of google search or of the facebook social network. I also don't see how it would benefit users.

Can anyone who buys the idea that google search is a monopoly, or that facebook social network is a monopoly, tell me how they would end those monopolies, why they would do it, and what the benefits would be?
I run my own mail and haven't seen any of this.
I interpret this that if you want more then 3 years of security issues fixes you have to pay, it is similar on how other companies charge for extended support, if you don't like it you update faster.

But what is your opinion, everything should be free for big companies to use and then who pays the developers? Even in Linux world you need to pay to get extended LTS support.
Alternative sources for covid information have been beating the vitamin D and dietary zinc drum since almost the beginning of the pandemic. This could have saved so many lives. Yet the authoritarian medical establishment (governments and approved NGOs) doubled down on wait for vaccine providing no other prevention recommendations than masks and lockdowns and actively suppressed information on treatments.
> This is absurd in the extreme. The proposition was that those that are the least impacted by covid--specifically, those like me who are healthy, young, getting adequate sunlight--should not have to bear the responsibility for those who are vulnerable.

We have radically different values.

Of course the strongest and most able in society have to bear the majority of the burdens. That simply seems morally obvious. The rich should pay more taxes than the poor. The young and healthy fight in the military and not the old and infirm. Adult children will make personal sacrifices to save their elderly parents. What about asking the healthy to make sacrifices to protect the weak is unjust?

A world view of “let the weak fend for themselves for the strong should take what they want” is utterly repugnant.
> They are hugely desirable for quickly hacking something together

Undeniably, yes. I was there in the 90s ;-)

But hacking things together in a way that's robust is difficult, and bash isn't a good match for that difficulty.

These days I mostly operate in the realm of "how can I enable others to hack things together without blowing tens of millions of our dollars and their very early career on a stupid mistake".
Do you have a source for how "oftentimes" in your assertion?
I think people take offence in you not noticing that vaccines also reduce symptoms and even stop them in some cases. And that this fact has been better proven than any claims of vitamin D effect on covid.

Literally billions of people already took vaccines for covid, some, almost a yer ago. Time to update your mental model.
Yep, I follow a few people who are as left leaning as they come but just because they oppose identity politics, they are now called right wingers. I used to be liberal and still am on many issues but I can’t stand the current “left”.

Now a days, anyone who speaks out against identity politics gets labelled “insert label here”. I am brown but if I make a comment against identity politics on Reddit or somewhere where my skin color isn’t visible, I get called names. Just last month or so, someone on HN assumed I was white just because I was commenting about something against identity politics.

Even in person, I have gotten called “race traitor” because I don’t believe in judging people by their skin color and quite honestly, I find it highly patronizing that people expect me to go along with their narrative on how I must behave because of my skin color. Treating people as a perpetual victim damages them more.

If I am getting a heart surgery or getting taught mathematics, I don’t care about what skin color you are or what you do in your bedroom. I care about your skill set. The current DEI does the opposite. Also ironic that they claim to want “diversity” but that diversity is limited to skin color and gender. Diversity of opinion isn’t allowed.
You also can not distribute it for no fee, which impacts anyone that wants to, say, do a desktop app and ship a bundled executable, which is, arguably, a key tenet of the modularization effort done in JDK 9 to make the JRE lighter and more nimble.
I tend to start writing things in bash (piping into things like grep, tac, sed, etc

However if I’m not careful they get painfully complex and I tend to regret not writing it in perk. As such I now switch to using Perl when I get to the function stage, or anything other than the most simple bash arithmetic.
personally I'm looking forward to "this gourd does not exist"

Ok, sure, I can clarify that. I was talking about a pattern of commentary downplaying the professional consequences for running afoul of DEI orthodoxy, as if it is not worth discussing. The op-ed author here was not fired. However, Don McNeil of the NYT was pushed out, and as of yet has not found a comparable job AFAIK. He's just one example of the many whose experiences with DEI administrative authoritarianism have been minimized as unimportant. Justine Sacco is another, although she did eventually get back on her feet.

The point is, there's always a way to minimize and downplay and say that it could have been worse for the person who suffered some consequence. But it's just a deflection from whether the consequence itself was appropriate.
Maybe off topic, but I take a lot of online courses (Pluralsight being the majority) and I find that this standard approach of “intro”, “content”, “summary” doesn’t add much for me.

It might just be a personal thing but it’s never felt useful and just serves to lower the signal to noise ratio. I always skip the intro and summary sections. I find the same with blog posts that religiously follow this structure.

Just tell me the actual information!

It could be a very subjective thing. I have a short attention span and will generally crank up the speed of these video courses too. I just want to quickly and efficiently extract the raw value without the fluff.

I don’t find it helps comprehension and retention. (For me, the only thing that does is immediately putting into practice what you learn).
