It might be easier to design the room to create false positives and undermine trust in the detectors. Assuming you have that kind of influence, anyway. That's not an option if you're just trying to plant a camera in an existing room.

I assume minimizing the aperture would be a fairly reliable way to avoid detection. A pinhole camera would be hard to find by any optical technique, though the video quality would suffer. Perhaps one could project through a pinhole onto a screen and record the projection, so the sensor is angled away from the room?

My gut reaction to general lockdowns, early on in this pandemic, was that they were driven more by an inviolable ethic of egalitarianism than by a rational assessment of risk, especially since the most dangerous comorbities seemed to correlate with demographics that, historically or presently, suffer from prejudice.
From a technical perspective, AMP had two, intertwined goals: 1) allow third parties to safely rehost your page, so that they could provide a seamless preloading experience—fetch & render the page in the background, and display it to the user immediately when they click a link. This massively improved the time it took to load search results on mobile web, since it moves the request out of the critical path and allows Google's CDN to serve your assets. 2) Provide a front end framework that focused on performance and UX, forcing developers to get rid of layout shifts, weird scroll effects, and other things that made mobile web browsing a nightmare. This framework allowed for a limited subset of HTML and CSS, but no custom JS, allowing it to enforce these rules for all rehosted pages.

It will have BRAM. There’s a detailed information about one of these ICs in their software - ForgeFPGA Workshop.

SLG47910V has: 32kb of BRAM; 900 LUT4 equivalent; 1.8k DFFs; 5kb of distributed RAM; integrated 50MHz OSC, PLL.
AMP solves a social problem for newspaper owners. They are all evil, venal people incapable of hiring for or motivating technical staff to make the right choice for users. This is why your average local newspaper or TV station site downloads 100MB of crap, fires 10000 timers per second, and needs 10-60s to render on your phone. AMP puts these jerks in a straightjacket while also trying to ensure they still get paid.

Theoretically there's a marketplace where better/faster news sites would be preferred by readers, but in actual fact all the news outlets are owned by the same guy.

Ah, I see what you're saying. That does make sense.
I dunno, there is something obviously wrong with this engine.

> Now, one could argue that the coal company town was 'more free' than the cotton plantation, I suppose.

Yes! Crucially because its residents were free to leave. Doing something unpleasant or dangerous due to economic necessity is vastly different than doing it in chains.

You're assuming the Appalachian coal company residents had no other options when clearly they did, as evidenced by the patterns of migration to and from these towns. Working in a coal mine was just their preferred choice, given the alternatives available. Many of these men took pride in their work.
I think it is ironically relevant.

People complain about the target selection and first-mover advantage of Von Neumann, in the same thread which seems to be taken over by collateral damage of polarizing identity politics propaganda, set to target social cohesion of American civilians (which leaks into Western culture) done by the very same adversaries targeted decades back by Von Neumann.
Unfortunately again, IQ is highly predictive. It obviously clashes with the massive emphasis on merit, grit & educational attainment placed by western liberal ideology. It fundamentally shakes the very foundation of outcome based evaluation of one's protestant/puritanism, especially in American Academia.

(the deeply rooted nature of protestantism in the pro-science / anti-religion/ Academic community in the US is long discussion I would love to have at some point. I want to be clear that I do not mean it in a derogatory manner. It is an observation. Not a value judgement)

Imagine if grit, intelligence and productivity within a capitalistic system were highly predictable at birth. Then the claim to eliteness that lends these elite institutions power, will suddenly get the appearance of genetic superiority. It quickly starts sounding like old school eugenicists. They/We will become what they claim to hate.

Intelligence is an easier discussion in the east. The floor for the value you bring to society is not based on your intelligence alone. They also don't hide the brutal realities for survival/thriving in a society where you might lack vital skills from birth.

I think everyone on HN would agree that a feudal-class system determined at birth, is not a desirable outcome. As it stands now, ignoring the ground realities has led to us building exactly that. The tabooing of IQ does not serve to stop the creation of this dystopia. It serves to obscure the reality that we might already be living in it.

Razib Khan [1] writes a lot about intelligence from a genetic standpoint (He works in population genomics).

One quote of interest

General intelligence is one of the most predictive psychological measures in existence.
The chestnut of wisdom that ability to test well measures how well you take a test is true but trivial.
The implication that test measurement does not correlate with other aspects of performance is manifestly false.
Those with higher measured IQs have higher incomes, greater educational attainment, and lower crime rates
(this remains true among siblings who differ in IQ).
This is well known within psychological science,
but for various reasons has been obscured and downplayed by broader American culture.

As with the athletically gifted,
the differences in outcomes is most obvious in those who are intellectually gifted at a young age.
The chart below shows the outcomes of 259 children identified as very gifted in their early teens on the SAT:

One out of thirteen of these extremely bright children became tenured professors.
One out of thirty-three wrote a book. Nearly half obtained doctorates.
These are not average kids who simply “test well.”
There is luck in life, but the die is loaded.
Very high intelligence is no guarantee of exceptional achievement,
but it clearly changes the probabilities.

I feel after these last couple of years have been in such a way, that Hollywood needs to up the ante on their disaster movies.

Things that were outlandish and seen only on TV are becoming reality.
Only wild if you assume that everyone has the same likelihood of having proximity to such an event. But people involved in smallpox research have a much increased chance because they have (physical) proximity to the places this can happen and those that find them have (secondary) proximity to those that have higher (physical) proximity. And Gates funds lots of these researchers so he has a very, very high likelihood of being withing a few steps of relation to something like this. Think centrality from graph theory. Gates is a very central vertex.
What a weird line of reasoning. That something is allowed by "the rules" doesn't make it morally justified. Assholes should be called out on their behavior, rather than hating on the creators of a system that believe people to act in good faith. Sure, those creators can take steps to mitigate malicious behavior, but the onus is not on them.

Regardless of this, it's generally good form to define an acronym the first time it's used, even if there was no duplication/overlap.

With that said, while you're correct:

- A significant portion of tech advancement is US-centric, so I understand the instinct to ask for clarification

- I'd argue that the LAPD is relatively well-known world-wide, much like the RCMP, or RAF, or other very famous organizations
That’s a lot of bullshit to make a moral equivalence between murdering tens of millions of people in cold blood and not murdering tens of millions of people in cold blood.
Sure, but there are still different interpretation of QM to sort out, and electron jumps have recently been measured to take time. Which contradicts the idea that jumps were instantaneous. We don't know everything about QM, so it's right to push back somewhat on claims that it's just different. Isn't that basically saying shut up and calculate?
Of the four or five people I've know with Viking appliances, every one to a person has had them serviced to fix what broke far more regularly than any kitchen appliance I've ever owned. One person that inherited them in the house they bought flat-out said they were over-priced, finicky junk they'd never directly buy themselves.

So I'd buy Viking if it lasted longer (because I'm tired of buying disposable appliances, too), but the anecdotal data I've collected says it won't.

disagree with this and the language of "riot" of diversity is very telling.

It's a sort of purely individual definition of freedom in which a free society is one of permanent dissent. Dissent not as a tool to come to consensus but as a way of life and it is fundamentally anti-governmental, it sounds nice but does not work. If everyone assumed this position, the end result is permanent dysfunction.

I can't remember who said it might have been Zizek but he proposed that the proper understanding of democratic freedom is something akin to: "Say your opinion, say it freely, come to a consensus, but then shut up and obey.". That is to say, in any group that wants to function, diversity or dissent is not a permanent state of affairs, at some point when one needs to act options need to be closed off. Abstract freedom is always embedded within social order. You can only freely walk the street because you rely on the fact that everyone else conforms to the rules of traffic.

"Do no harm" sounds nice but it's not sufficient, it may even be wrong because harm cannot be entirely avoided. You cannot navigate the world and act in the world as a group without actively making concrete choices, sometimes to the detriment of individuals. People like Snowden or Ai Weiwei celebrate resistance because permanent resistance is their job. Rebelling is their profession. It's very sympathetic on the surface but it does not address how people ought to organize society.
At least in Eastern Europe the word was used as a synonym for both during the communism, or well at the time there was no difference between the two (piderast/pederast etc)
At what point did we retire the option of convincing people to stop being hateful? I didn't get the memo. It seems we want to ban whatever groups are considered "hateful" (but not the oppressed expressing their anger at the oppressor! Such an easy distinction to make) eventually leading to what, legal bans on speech?
Many people find selecting a candidate for political office with 20-30% support to be deeply suboptimal. You're flirting with your government being perceived as illegitimate by regular citizens. At the national level these are incredibly powerful offices- imagine a divisive President ruling the US having won under 30% of votes cast. This is how civil wars start. Yes there are a few countries whose systems work out that way (the UK at times), and it's been criticized for decades.

>what's unnatural is the idea that 50+% of a group

This is literally how a runoff works- a pragmatic system that's been used for decades by 50+ countries globally. It also enhances democratic legitimacy, as the majority of people feel invested in having voted for the eventual winner.

(To be fair, I will say that using AV to select the top two candidates who then go to a runoff is pretty interesting)
This is not a good topic for Hacker News, you might get a better reception on Infowars.
You said it really, we're already drowning in dodgy systems code or no code. I'm just concerned to not make the problem worse with an even more powerful way to cause a disaster. Think the excel spreadsheet powering the quarterly results on steroids.

I don't deny there's a place for no code, I'm just sceptical about intended uses. Not least because a lot of what is written are puff pieces by someone with an agenda. This is big business.
I don’t think the voting system will be around very long if we end up with goodspaceguy.
>the purity needed for the silicon used in processors was absurdly high

Yes. Silicon wafers are cut from a monocrystalline boule, a single flawless silicon crystal with no defects or inclusions. A big chunk of silicon atoms, nothing else at all. (Doping happens later) To the extent any physical object can be called "perfect", a semiconductor wafer is perfect.

(Of course after manufacturing it will start picking up embedded hydrogen and helium atoms from cosmic rays and alpha particle background radiation.)
That would still be circumstantial wouldn't it?

Huh? Bill Gates is looking to the future and imagining the shit storms we're not prepared for, not sure what you're trying to say...
Ultimately it's an experimental fact - a very surprising one when discovered:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_experiment

In theoretical terms, the equation used to describe all massive fermions known at the time (like the electron) is built out of four-component quantities called Dirac spinors:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_spinor

A Dirac spinor can be viewed as composed of two simpler, two-component quantities called Weyl spinors:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyl_equation#Weyl_spinors

You can try to describe a fermion using only one Weyl spinor, but then it turns out that you can't build mass terms (unless you're willing to violate special relativity).

The massless equation you can write down with a Weyl spinor has two plane wave solutions with opposite helicity, left and right. A Dirac spinor combines a left-handed and a right-handed Weyl spinor; the mass term of the Dirac equation "mixes" them, in the sense that if you start out with a Dirac spinor having its left-handed component set to 0, the mass term will cause it to grow at a rate proportional to mass. If you set the mass to exactly zero, you're left with two uncoupled Weyl equations, one for the left-handed component, one for the right-handed one.

Knowing this, and faced with the experimental fact that weak interactions make a distinction between left and right, you write down separate weak interaction terms for the left- and right-handed components of your Dirac spinors. Eventually it turns out that the simplest choice, having only the left-handed components participate in those interactions, is the best fit to experiment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_isospin#Relation_with_chi...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My assumption is that a couple (say) would be running with pretty thin margins, even assuming no mortgage interest or rent and modest living, on $40,000 a year and a fairly low CoL area, so losing another $7k (that's per person, right, not the max-out-of-pocket for the whole plan? Or maybe your exchange plans are way better than ours) would be be very painful, at best. A forever-alone hermit living in a rural trailer park might be another story—there are definitely some circumstances I can imagine in which it might be kinda OK to try to retire before Social Security and Medicare kick in on $1m savings, but not ones that involve anything like a normal life.

And sure, you may not be missing payments thanks to the $1m in the bank, but if you start eating that principle too early (=before you're 60ish years old, at a minimum) you might find yourself needing to get a job after being out of the work force for (say) 10 years and while possibly dealing with serious, chronic health problems. I'm not sure how disability works when you haven't worked for a few years due to retiring, and have six-plus figures in the bank still, but my guess would be "it doesn't", until you are, in fact, ruined.

FastAPI Creator Sebastián RAMírez Interview
Especially the family part. That is the source of great personal growth, development of virtues (as we learn from each other and serve, and seek one another's comfort and well-being), and of long-term happiness and support in life.

It is not pleasant for me to imagine life w/o my family. We are certainly not perfect, but we try to be a benefit to each other, and we are. Our parents (who are now great-grandparents) have set examples of long-term unselfishness, which helps. Others can do that to start such trends and traditions of their own. So worthwhile.
Hello. =). Besides this account, what are some places where I could see how you more systematically think? I'd like to add to your list the claim that there's more to be said for owning the means of production (including distribution) and the types of autonomy that arise in constructing (and reconstructing) the limits of the medium in which one engages in signaling.

Many of these tools and centralized platforms automate most of the process (encouraging even structural uniformity), and that's quite convenient in many cases. I think most people would be surprised what kinds of communities can arise from humble links and by-hand human convention even on a read-only network (where we can only write to our own node).

> The only reason people are used to it is because MS has spend decades, and plenty of money, getting their foot into pretty much every IT education of relevance.

This is the same argument that people have used for the last 20 years of "this year is the year for Linux on the Desktop!". I don't think it was true then or now. People that use Linux consciously, or unconsciously, build/buy systems that work with Linux. I've tried many times in the past but gave up and moved to OS X after getting tired of fiddling with wifi, sleep/wake, trackpad, graphics switching, and battery life problems. If I'm going to buy a system for an OS, I might as well optimize the integration by buying an integrated system/OS. I suppose you could claim those are the fault of MS popularity, but I claim it's the result of volunteers not having financial incentive to add support for the random hardware that was in my computer.

I was used to Windows, but I'm not using Linux only because I didn't buy a system for it.

> I’m increasingly fatalistic about computer security. It seems like your options are carefully auditing all dependencies (difficult and maybe impossible if the dependencies are highly technical or the malicious code is sufficiently subtle or obfuscated) every time you update, not updating at all (which leaves you vulnerable to all the bugs and other security issues in the version you choose to pin), or not using dependencies at all (by spending months or years totally rewriting the libraries and tools you need, and of course your own code will have bugs too).

There is also the option of having trusted third parties review code. This is by no means an easy option but it does seem more feasible than everyone auditing every line of code they ever depend on. You do end up with spicy questions like who do we trust to audit code? Why do we trust them? How are they actually auditing this code?

What did your check consist of? I’m asking because I know people who’ve been using both Word and LibreOffice for many years to write huge amounts of technical documentation and their experience is that LibreOffice is much more reliable with longer and more complex documents. When a certain document size or complexity is reached, Word apparently starts to behave erratically and even crashes occasionally. They’d prefer LibreOffice any day but some customers require Word.
