I've never read Han (hadn't even heard of him), but what this immediately reminded me of, in particular the notion of the achievement subject being reduced to basically some sort of stimulation machine, made me recall something from Baudrillard's America

"This ‘into’ is the key to everything. The point is not to be nor even to have a body, but to be into your own body. Into your sexuality, into your own desire. Into your own functions, as if they were energy differentials or video screens. The hedonism of the ‘into’: the body is a scenario and the curious hygienist threnody devoted to it runs through the innumerable fitness centres, bodybuilding gyms, stimulation and simulation studios that stretch from Venice to Tupanga Canyon, bearing witness to a collective asexual obsession. This is echoed by the other obsession: that of being ‘into’, hooked in to your own brain. What people are contemplating on their word-processor screens is the operation of their own brains. It is not entrails that we try to interpret these days, nor even hearts or facial expressions; it is, quite simply, the brain. We want to expose to view its billions of connections and watch itoperating like a video-game. All this cerebral, electronic snobbery is hugely affected - far from being the sign of a superior knowledge of humanity, it is merely the mark of a simplified theory, since the human being is here reduced to the terminal excrescence of his or her spinal chord."

There's also a great Nick Land piece called Meltdown from his saner CCRU days that captures the 'Burnout' notion very well: http://www.ccru.net/swarm1/1_melt.htm
Really interesting but, sincerely, I would rather use sqlite.

I know: It's a binary format.
And you need to add a library to read it.

BUT

- Your configuration _has_ data types.

- You can have a copy with an old config within the file easily (create table backup_config as select * from actual_config; ).

- The file is small.

- Encryption is built-in if you need it.

- And it's programable
> Encryption is indistinguishable from noise. So the difference between a high power encrypted transmission and high power jammer is semantic

The difference, from an RF perspective, of an encrypted signal and a non encrypted signal is non-existent as the encryption takes place before the modulator. Therefore encrypted signals won't impact the noise flow for everyone in the band. This would only occur if the operator were using frequency hopping.

>you're still monopolizing part of a very small band with a private conversation preventing others from using the shared resource

Depending on the technology used in the receiver, this also isn't true. There are numerous techniques to allow for multiple carriers on the same band. CDMA for example would allow for this. It would take some coordination to make sure each carrier is using a different code but should be feasible for amateur radio operators. It all depends on how sophisticated their receiver is.

>Error correction necessitates a higher duty cycle

This is true and is why encrypted signals have lower data rates. So instead of having a longer transmission you lower the data rate to get the same effect.
> Berenstain Bears

Now that's a weird one, never saw that example before. I'm familiar with the subject ... yet, if you asked me to spell it, it would have been -stein.

Very interesting.
I'm very pro-crypto, and also very pro exploring DAOs as an organizing structure.

But this one feels so rushed that I won't be surprised if scandals and controversies follow. A lot has to be done properly here, and there's a lot of places things can go wrong.

If the aftermath has problems that are too spectacular, it could cause trouble for more carefully planned efforts.
Keenly waiting for masonry layout support in browsers.

Anyone know alternatives to achieve it without requiring Javascript?

I want to use it for my own website: https://searchableguy.com which is going to get a lot more cards added soon.
It's been a total parade of biases. In particular normalcy bias is a lot stronger than I'd thought it was.
Mastodon API only allows one delete request per minute in 2021

What's your reasoning behind using 4 separate browsers? I've tried Brave and Chromium but I don't see any reason to switch between my usual Firefox and another browser (unless a webpage doesn't work at all on FF)
By intent and design, the Outer Space Treaty was more or less obsoleted by 1979 "Moon Treaty" (so-called -- it actually applied to other celestial bodies, not just the Moon).

However, given that no space-faring nation (U.S., Russia, China) has ever ratified the Moon Treaty, and, given that the U.N. normally can't even enforce its directives here on Earth (especially not if a Security Council member -- such as, again, U.S., Russia, China -- objects), it would appear to be rather toothless.
I assume you're referring to the rule prohibiting "messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning" (e.x. encryption).

I don't think it's particularly limiting, as you can still use cryptography for purposes other than "obscuring [the message's] meaning", e.x. authentication. You just can't encrypt the payload.

It's also likely necessary to prevent the bands from being overrun with people using them for commercial purposes.
I find the sign for this arena to be a little embarassing:

Pixel phones can take "Motion Photos" — it seems like this is basically just an mp4 file stuffed into a jpg somehow (but without sound). The Google Photos app lets you export it as an mp4 or gif file, or pick a specific timestamp to export a still image.

It looks like the Samsung Camera has something similar, but I'm not sure if it's compatible...
This has nothing to do with confidence.

It is a psychological manipulation tactic to make it more difficult to cancel, in the hopes that the subscriber will give up partway through the process because they don't want to pick up the phone.

It's all about profit. The shareholders don't really give a damn about the company's confidence in its product. They care about subscriber numbers and the dollars that come from them. The quality of the product is way secondary to that.
Your argument could be applied to anything you don't like. I'm sure free speech sometimes has a negative impact on family members and communities, that doesn't mean it should be limited outside where it presents a clear and present danger to others.

As you acknowledge, the same goes for your speed limit example. It directly affects others and it could be argued it is necessary to protect their safety. Even though I acknowledge that, I don't think speed limits save lives over longer periods of time and could be removed. There would likely be a spike in accidents shortly after the transition but would normalize after. Having lived in several countries around the world, some with de facto no speed limits, people just avoided the left lane where the super fast people drove. I didn't see accidents everywhere.
You definitely can drive actions from a spreadsheet — it's one of the most common usage patterns.

Here's a demo showing it in action: https://docs.browserflow.app/tutorials/tutorial-scrape-a-lis...

(The demo shows scraping each URL but you can perform arbitrary actions for each row of the sheet.)

As for Firefox, it's unfortunately not currently possible: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29256938
Can this also view all open PRs across multiple repos? One issue I've struggled with with polyrepos is having an organization-wide PR list. Having exposure to the entire org helps with cadence and visibility but PRs are typically silo'ed to the affected repo.

Thanks for the question! My background is in numerical optimization for optimal control. Projects like this https://github.com/acados/acados motivated the development of prometeo. It's mostly about solving optimization problems as fast as possible to make optimal decisions in real-time.
So let me get this straight. There is an auction for a priceless (well, very expensive) item.

A group is trying to raise funds to buy this item, but is not guaranteed to win the auction anyways. Participating in an auction while having a publicly known funding cap feels like a poor position to be in.

Further, let's suppose the group wins the auction, and is now the proud owner of a copy of the Constitution. This entire end goal of this project seems dependent on finding a partner that is willing to cover all the costs associated with storage, display, security, etc of this high value item.

This feels like a whole lot of "ifs" for a project trying to collection $20M.
> One could still run a numbers station? There's no way to prove the code words have any meaning beyond what is obvious.

I'm not so sure one could, legally. A number station would broadcast regularly a one-way communications, with no clear meaning. Here's an excerpt of the law from FCC part 97, which is actually surprisingly short and readable. It prohibits:

"messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning, except as otherwise provided herein; obscene or indecent words or language; or false or deceptive messages, signals or identification.

(5) Communications, on a regular basis, which could reasonably be furnished alternatively through other radio services.

(b) An amateur station shall not engage in any form of broadcasting, nor may an amateur station transmit one-way communications except as specifically provided in these rules..."

The others who prefer Emacs's default behavior are a dwindling constituency of the user base. Eventually they will all be dead, and the only people becoming users of Emacs (if any) will be people used to the Windows/Mac way of doing things.

You have to meet your users where they are, otherwise you won't have users. For desktop applications, that means using the standard interface conventions and shortcuts for common operations.
I had trouble hearing it too, so I closed my eyes to remove the flashing light as input and, I shit you not, just straight up told myself "you will hear brain storm". It was interesting not only in that that worked, but that my perception of the word was so completely different that it sounded nothing like green needle.
Yes, the current regulation is targeted at government sites authenticating citizens, but the goal with these revisions is to require VLOPs to support this, along with allowing them the ability to require this for all websites. The original roadmap called out by the European Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) suggests a long-term goal of making this mandatory, effectively reviving the idea of the “Internet drivers license” (for users) and “Authorized domestic website” (for servers).

I mean whats the point of asking these? Being vegan doesn't mean you have to eat healthy food 24x7. They are normal human being following ethics. And there is no rule that tells vegan should abstain processed foods.
Wellll, Finland IS Scandinavian, in social system if not in language.
I actually tried this approach before, but eventually something would be come a last straw to force me give up. For example, as I know, there is nothing comes close to Windows RDP on Linux Desktop. On Linux desktop, it's very hard to remote to the local desktop session from remote, also no automatic resolution adjustment like RDP.
Seems like a python to C++ would translate more of the language to like for like concepts more easily.
My team refers to at it as "plumbing" - we are modern data plumbers. We "glue" the pipes together to make the data flow. Ever see spaghetti plumbing? Some application architectures look like that. It's just easier to hide because normal people can't see what a wreck it is. Anyway, there's no shame in being a data plumber.
Yes it can! we also have a search feature that lets you find PRs across repos (and by author, in case that's helpful)
Good job you didn’t need to look ~~at~~ through it all day in order to use the product then!

More than likely a literate person of European or Christian background. The phrase references a key moment from the New Testament.
This is all the initial recommendations says about browsers and certificates, there is nothing about preventing browsers from allowing the users to configure this, just to have them support it (and most of this is already supported by browsers, this is mostly just a recommendation to force all browsers to implement site security):

> To that end, web-browsers should ensure support and interoperability with Qualified certificates for website authentication pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. They should recognise and display Qualified certificates for website authentication to provide a high level of assurance, allowing website owners to assert their identity as owners of a website and users to identify the website owners with a high degree of certainty.

Edit: It also limits this to larger web browser providers in another part and only after 5 years. So people are free to run their own forks of browsers, so I doubt that it will be forbidden for browsers to just have a setting for specific sets of certs.
What I've seen it is not just expectations, but also experience/inertia.

When somebody is used to (for example) Windows, he then approaches any problem the Windows way. But the Windows way may be not the optimal one on any other system. But since it was optimal on Windows and the person doesn't know anything else, then he will see suboptimal results anywhere else.

It is not just Windows -> Linux; the same problems will be experienced with Windows -> macOS. Even Microsoft had the same problem, when they redesigned Windows elements and the uproar it caused.
I laughed way too hard at this, having been a gym subscriber in the past, and also a fan of Douglas Adams.
It's not so easy deploy an algorithm written in Julia on an embedded platform though, is it?
There are also software mouse jigglers, such as: https://github.com/arkane-systems/mousejiggler

At work we have annoying security policies that cause remote desktop sessions to lock their screens after 15 minutes of idle time. A mouse jiggler on the remote VM is useful because it keeps the machine from going idle, which prevents me from having to enter my password every time I want to go back to that session.
Really the key is using words that aren't in a dictionary, or at least not the same dictionary. It's pretty trivial for a brute force attack to just take a list of English words and try them in a large number of combinations. But if you have some non-english words, as far as that attacker is concerned its random gibberish. Of course the attacker might use a few languages so just mixing say english and spanish won't do that much better, but if you got some navajo or some quenya you're likely immune to any attack that isn't specifically targeted at you. And it doesn't even have to be a foreign language, even many proper nouns won't show up in a dictionary. For a password like "PoggleExclaimsGeonosianBarahunde" or "Seanbeanfearsburzum-ishikrimpatul" it would take trillions of years to guess a password without very specific pop culture knowledge.
They're still lacking things in the SQL space. For example, Databricks say they're ACID compliant, but it's only on a single-table basis. Snowflake offers multi-table ACID consistency, which is something that you would expect by default in the data warehousing world. If I'm loading, say, 10 tables in parallel, I want to be able to roll-back or commit the complete set of transactions in order to maintain data consistency. I'm sure you could work around this limitation, but it would feel like a hack, especially if you're coming from a traditional DWH world (Teradata, Netezza etc.).

Snowflake now offers Scala, Java and Python support, so it would seem their capabilities are converging even more, but both with their own strengths due to their respective histories.
maybe, but if you asked me "What is Word", and I replied "you can make a text document with it" would be not a very useful answer.

Sadly, most people just scratch the surface of what OBS can really do. If you really want to dig in to it, it is has the capabilities of a TV Broadcasting Studio for the financially constrained yet fanatically devoted to the cause level of features. I have used it in place of a TriCaster. I find myself constantly amazed at the things that can be achieved with this software to the point that I shake my head and think this shouldn't be possible. And then grin as other people think it was done in a studio.

So, yes, this thing can make a text document.
I once asked my friend: "Is there anything Regex can't do?" He replied: "Work the first time?"

And that's how I always think of Regex now. It's an incredibly powerful tool that I pull out pretty often, but if I'm doing anything beyond the most basic pattern matching I know I'm about to lose a bit of time questioning my abilities and sanity.
TLDR:

The Summary
Ivermectin doesn’t reduce mortality in COVID a significant amount (let’s say d > 0.3) in the absence of comorbid parasites: 85-90% confidence

Parasitic worms are a significant confounder in some ivermectin studies, such that they made them get a positive result even when honest and methodologically sound: 50% confidence

Fraud and data processing errors are of similar magnitude to p-hacking and methodological problems in explaining bad studies (95% confidence interval for fraud: between >1% and 5% as important as methodological problems; 95% confidence interval for data processing errors: between 5% and 100% as important)

Probably “Trust Science” is not the right way to reach proponents of pseudoscientific medicine: ???% confidence
It’s not that I want to, it’s that I’m forced to.
In Germany, the inflation rate is calculated by looking at the development of prices of a set of goods that an average consumer would buy. That will include things like electronics that become cheaper all the time which skews the rate for people who do not buy these goods.
It might be similarly done in the US?

This is false. The first emojis were Japanese in origin and were the first to use yellow faces. Apple copied the existing style from the Japanese illustrations.
Without Microsoft, Edge would just be another chromium fork for the pile. If it's not directly imposed on you, it would have little value to add.
Big companies could handle this so much better. They are going to hire thousands of $role in any given year. Once an applicant gets routed to a particular team, they might not get picked in favor of another candidate, but that doesn't mean they would be a fit for any of the other hundreds or thousands of open positions.

It seems like something an ATS startup could fix, though it also seems hard to address, since your customer would need to be an enterprise which is a hard first-niche for a product.
Even if that's the case, you're still shipping the whole library. It's not an uncommon complaint that the file size of applications is massive (here on HN anyway, outside of tech I don't know if people really take notice).

You're talking about CSS. I'm talking about classes.

> `class="m-0 md:m-4"` is more legible because it describes exactly what is happening

If by "what is happening" you mean "how it's styled", but that's extremely presumptuous. You might as well argue that there's no difference between Flash and an equivalently styled web page since if you took a screenshot of each they'd be visually identical—as if the whole thing begins and ends with getting the "rectangle full of little lights" to change in a particular way <https://xkcd.com/722/>. It's very narrowminded.

I'm not saying you have to be full on schema.org-conformant, but include something that actually makes sense instead of being as useless as the spew that CSS compilers put out.
From Wikipedia its kinda funny:

The case received international press attention following Microsoft's perceived heavy-handed approach to a 12th grade student's part-time web design business and the subsequent support that Rowe received from the online community. A settlement was eventually reached, with Rowe granting ownership of the domain to Microsoft in exchange for an Xbox and additional compensation.
Thanks for reporting it! Nothing like an influx of new users (and now premium customers!) to re-light some fire under a bug! We'll work on it.
“Natural philosophy” has contributed basically nothing to the structure of our society. To our ideas of fairness, and ethics, and how to co-operate with untrustworthy strangers. Its impacts, like medicine, have, but that's like saying trees are responsible for how our society works.

So much of this, we just take for granted. Philosophy is either obvious or wrong.
You have to clear the cache constantly.
That's an easy thing to say because it's more difficult to disprove. You could say that about the NYT, Al Jazeera, NPR, CNN, etc etc.

Of course the topics that an institution choose to talk about also biases it. If you spend all of your front page space complaining about unions and talking about business, that is a different bias than one who dedicates column inches to stories about the environment. Or different from once that dedicates column inches to ones about social issues.

But even if you go on wsj.com, I see "Biden EV Tax Credit Puts UAW Over Environment, Nonunion Auto Makers Say," -- which is such an interesting way to frame the topic, but certainly not what I would call neutral. The topic pits UAW versus Nonunion automakers.

If you want neutral news, in terms of content and in terms of story coverage, there are better options than the WSJ.
Sounds like it's a pretty simple loop of

1. Find bright spots in last second of exposure (which is then added to a sum for the final picture)

2. Compare their locations to bright spots in the previous second

3. Move the sensor slightly so the bright spots remain "in the same place" on the sensor.

Note that cameras with integral anti-vibration do that by moving the sensor, so they already have the hardware for (3).

For star tracking there would be a max speed of stars based on Earth's rotation multiplied by focal length you could use to set a reasonable cap on movement. You could also expect similar movement for each second to the seconds before.

The camera could have a data structure per star being tracked, capping the number used to say 32 or 64 "stars" for accuracy. Each "Star" would "vote" how much movement has occurred. You'd gain faith in various stars as analysis frames go by if they keep giving valid results, a black-list of "not stars" would also be useful.

Some would be stationary, like lights on the ground. Some would be bogus, such as navigation lights on aircraft. Actual stars should expect similar movement and "agree" though if the zoom was low it might change across the image.
Intrinsics (or directly assembly) are used in BLASFEO (https://github.com/giaf/blasfeo) the linear package used by prometeo. It would be cool to generate assembly directly for a few things, but that would require quite a bit of work!
