My suspicions were raised seeing a site using the Winamp name. When it didn't display anything but the background for a few seconds on my overpowered desktop and internet connection, I was afraid it was trying to run an exploit of some sort. I closed the page before even seeing it.

And while it seems that's not the case, I'm still suspicious of the project since it sounds like it's just going to be the same as any other modern music player, just riding on the Winamp nostalgia.
Maybe Elon is right, and instead of spending tens of billions of dollars and decades on one bulletproof piece of jewelry, maybe we should just launch 20 cheaply built ones with less redundancy and hope a couple make it through.

Think monolith mainframe versus cluster of commodity hardware.

That's interesting - if it is harmful to minors, how it isn't when someone turns 18? I believe it should be banned across the board.

We are talking about democracies here. Specifically democracies where you cannot lobby with corporate money. If anything you should use this difference to monitor how much of your policies are shaped in the interest of lobbies vs citizens.

> In the Netherlands, the percentage of people that relapse after rehabilitating from GHB is the highest of all drugs, including alcohol.

Humans love alcohol-like feelings, so the comparison is vis-a-vis against alcohol.

Alcohol relapse statistics are on a much higer sample given how widespread it is, whereas for G the sample is much smaller.

Also among the people who don't relapse are also included in those who die or have their bodies so screwed up that have no alternative but quitting if they want to keep living. Alcohol does that to a whole lot of people who technically don't relapse....but don't breath anymore either.

G doesn't cause any liver, heart, kidney, cardiac, valvular, stomach, arterial, testicular damage, so of course people will come back for more.

If the only negative effects are psychological then it's a testimony to the amazing proprieties of the substance.

Also in science the standard practice is that if you can't measure it then there is no point talking about it or even discussing it.

We don't know what happens inside our brains, the mechanisms of addiction and so forth.. we can only evaluate the effects.
I haven't used it, but I am in principle tolerant of drug use. The three metrics of legalization/safety I have heard are: Level of addiction, Ease of overdose, and long term health impact.

You say cocaine in small amounts is a dandy stimulant. I take Adderall for ADHD occasionally, and I've been told by those who have used both that the differences in effect are smaller than one might guess. And while I suppose I could OD by taking a bunch of Adderall pills, I don't have a "drive" to keep on taking more for a short term hit.

My rambling is to say: My impression of cocaine use is that it does long term damage to the body and the nasal cavity, and that its short-term high makes people chase it more and thus is ripe for OD.

So I'm not too shocked that it's a controlled substance vs. something like cannabis.

I think we'll break the association between sex and gender, and we'll create contexts of more-than-two human genders, but types are too popular a feature in programming languages for me to believe that genders will ever find their way out of human languages--they both provide useful ways to reduce uncertainty while making concise references.

If everybody is a "they" then pronouns become less useful. Maybe we'll go through a stage like that while we rebel against binary-only gendered thinking, but eventually we'll want useful pronouns again and we'll reinvent gender.

There is too much traffic on the internet, which makes it hard to find interresting data in it. It makes sense to create huge VPN company and put money into the marketing. That way everybody who has something to hide (and is willing to pay money to protect his secrets) will route his data through your infrastructure. So you basicaly have pre-selected traffic of potential criminals. Now you don't have to sniff all internet traffic, but just traffic of people who feel guilty.

Funny, because that was almost exactly my use-case as well. I guess sending network requests during the onload event doesn't work well, but maybe for local things it works better, who knows.
In this scenario, what would be the point of deferring to the system libraries if you already shipped and made the user download the built in ones? As far as desktop integration goes, there is already a tool available that will setup the .desktop file for you when you first run an Appimage.

>The lack of sandboxing isn't a big deal in my eyes

It should be, executing random Appimages you've downloaded online is a huge security liability.

>Proper sandboxing needs some kind of gate keeper/moderator to pressure developers into following the rules

You make a good point in that a good moderation in the store is very important, but even lacking that you can still tweak the sandbox permissions yourself (very easily in fact with Flatseal) and it rocks to have that feature available to you.
Like most of the modern web, yes.
No thoughts about the fish, but I was recently very surprised to learn that some people exclude my country, Brazil, from “western” culture. Like you did opposing “developing” and “westerners”.

Aside from geographical position, I certainly feel closer in culture to North America and Europe than to Middle-East or East-Asia cultures.

Every time I hear a statement with ”in the western culture…” I always identify myself with it.
> TL;DR: It's complicated.

Economic modeling is complicated. The core fact that oil price shocks cause recessions is not. Your response is the reminiscent of a climate change denier saying "See! These two scientists disagree about how to model climate change, therefore it must not be real".

> And I wouldn't call 80$ oil a "shock", especially in relation to current asset and commodity prices. Look at prices from 2011 to 2014 - was 100$ oil shocking then?

Its not shocking as in "I'm shocked this is the price of oil". Its a price shock as in the price of a commodity rapidly changing. The absolute price doesn't matter as much as the percent change. There's no hard and fast rule about what constitutes a shock, but the price of crude oil has doubled since last November.
Sub-Second Live Streaming Server: OvenMediaEngine
Entertainment would be low culture then (?). A lot of modern media (marvel, netflix, most of youtube, anything trending basically) is made to be consumed once and forgotten. They're templated products made to generate the maximum amount of revenues from the least amount of work. Yet this is what people think about when you talk about culture these days (and definitely what they "consume" the most), culture has been made global and is all about marketing (go watch the top 1 movie on netflix right now, red notice, it's objectively bad on almost all aspects yet it cumulated 150 million hours of streaming)

Modern "culture" is almost entirely based on entertainment and pass time. How many times have I recommended a book and a movie to be told it's "too hard", "too serious", "not entertaining"... There is a reason why Marvel movies are always in the top of the charts, unplug your brain, grab you favorite sugary snacks and teleport yourself 3 hours in the future.

We call it "content" for a reason, shapeless and tasteless content to fill up the mere containers we became.
They may not have the labor to build two of them. It's exceptionally difficult to put together the team necessary to build one of them.

The US isn't a serious nation any longer. The US is increasingly becoming a clown show. The response you'd get if you suggested to consider building two of them - for the reasons you mention - is that people would freak out (two boondoggles, $20 billion in cost, decades of time; that would be the flailing, screeching response).
Probably? The original Winamp ran on hardware much slower than anything you can buy new these days. This website, not a chance.
It seems it is open source by the wording, he just makes it clear, that you can’t distribute it under that name because while he owns the rights to the code, Ubisoft owns the trademark(s). So any distribution would be required to remove the name completely from the game.

But that’s just my total layperson reading.

I think uBlock Origin is definitely a must-have as a browser extension.
uBlock origin in "Medium mode" does most of what you're hoping to get out of NoScript. Enabling it is basically just turning on advanced mode and setting 2 rules to block 3rd party scripts and rules - https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

Hey HN,

I'm Dmitry, one of the founders of in3D.

With in3D app [0], anyone can create their realistic 3D avatar with just a phone camera within 30 seconds. Once scanned, users can animate their avatars, make funny videos in AR, try-on digital looks, and play as themselves in GTA V, Second Life, and VRChat. Or order custom jeans at [1].

We believe that sooner or later digital copies of humans will become useful for many people. So we are building tech for digitization. There are two goals we try to achieve: 1) quality 2) accessibility. For the latter we try to design the scanning process to be as convenient as possible, i.e. we try not to require too much from the user, help users during the scanning process and fix any issues such as lighting conditions transparently to the user while building the avatar. For the quality -- MetaHuman quality would be great :)

One of the major challenges here is the absence of the datasets with 3D humans scanned in real environments. So it's not possible to create an end-to-end DL-based solution that works well enough. We managed to use FaceID sensor of the iPhone to build avatars without using much DL. And now we have a dataset of ~70k scans that we use internally to improve the algorithms.

We are also building some applications for the 3D avatars: our app [0] that is now more like a demo of the technology rather than a product, the Virtual Fitting Room for desktop [3] that we launched with digital fashion house Replicant [4]. We have helped Softbank scan people for World Gymnastics Championships [5] and celebrities for their game [6]. Soon, the game will have scanning embedded inside of the game app.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! You can try the app here https://apple.co/3vnUf3H (3 day free trial), Android version is coming in January.

Cancer Cells Use “Tiny Tentacles” to Suck Mitochondria Out of Immune Cells
I'd classify this one under: So what? If you beat your tools hard enough, something will give. The simple solution is to stop abusing your tools.

Generics were bolted on in Java 5, and some painful compromises had to be made to have both backward compatibility and generics. The whole type erasure thing being the prime example.

There is some kind of heap corruption in that you can force a Duck in a list of Cars. But the very first time you try to use that Duck as a Car, the JVM will catch it and hit you with an exception. You won't get C-like undefined behavior this way.

Java had some painfull bugs with real world consequences. This is not one of them.

Now if you want to really abuse Java, try this one :

Field field = Integer.class.getDeclaredField("value");
field.setAccessible(true);
field.set(1, 666);

List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3);
System.out.println(list); //prints [666,2,3]

and java allows half of the number 1s in your program to magically change into a 666. Total mayhem ensues. Solution: Don't do this.
1) look for python jobs (https://www.indeed.com/q-Python-jobs.html?vjk=91c523abc4708c...) or (https://www.python.org/jobs/)

2) figure out what roles he'd want to apply to

3) figure out what python knowledge / tools he's expected to know

4) find project tutorials that use that knowledge / tools

5) reach out to the companies saying what he's doing and if they have any suggestions

While I’m disappointed that we’re opening up the strategic reserve, and I wish your neighbors weren’t out of work, the rest of what you’re complaining about all sounds sensible to me. To continue to maintain the status quo is frankly suicidal. Oil and gas prices should be much higher than they are. The current cost to remove the CO2 from a gallon of gas using direct air capture is something like $6-9. It will be a painful realignment, but there’s no way people will reorganize in the ways that they must if gas remains at $2-3/gallon.
I think the difference in G forces sustained during launch and when hitting the floor are few orders of magnitude off.
- Long term health risks (normal use as well as abuse)

- Short term health risks (ease of overdose)

- Level of addiction

using those three metrics, there are some very large differences between cocaine, THC, tobacco, caffeine, alcohol, and say, heroin.

oof, that's ugly to hide like that.
Bandgap reference can't tell anything about body bias voltage, unless it itself built on top of insulator
Was that not a proxy doing DDoS protection?
Also, possibly a misfire. The clamp is under spring tension that can approach 50,000 Newtons, and the separation mechanism can use explosive bolts.

Not sure which configuration this launch entails but the telescope itself weighs 6,500 kg, so that sounds like a lot of energy to account for.

After watching an official JWST video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUAvXYW5bmI, they seem almost proud of having several hundred of single points of failure and an immensely complex deployment process that takes several weeks and must work perfectly. I don't know what engineer could be proud of coming up with a design like that.
They have done this several times in my lifetime. It never works to lower the price of anything.
I have a friend who dabbled in coke for a few weeks. I hung out with her once while she was high, and she was uncharacteristically mean. At some point she decided her life was becoming too focused on doing coke and told me she was selling what she had left. It took a while for her to finally commit to her last dose, but she managed to get rid of the cocaine, largely motivated by the money she would recover.

For weeks after, she would crave and daydream about cocaine. The fact that, despite being able to quit, she missed it that much made me decide to never ever try it. I know people get addicted to games or gambling or whatever else, but it seemed pretty bad.
Agreed. My most common use case for "finding stuff" on linux boxes is me looking for particular strings in clear text files, so I often end up doing "grep string -Ri {/etc,/var} | less".
Also, though find seems to be POSIX compliant, I just don't like it's syntax and how flags are handled.

It's too late already.

I get what you were saying but the emotion and anger are going to be what people remember not what he did or said.

He's tried to serve two masters and he can't. Either you stick to your guns on making climate change the priority and you accept the fact that the public is going to be pissed at you when energy prices are much higher, or you simply focus on reducing energy prices at the expense of the climate.

There is no middle ground on this. He's trying to find one and is going to fail. Prices will not be reduced and opening up the reserve will piss off the environmentalists.

Let's be honest here:
He doesn't really seem to be all there does he? At moments he is fully lucid and clearly in command but then at others he is asked about the same things he just spoke about a day before and says completely different things that sound like they were cooked up by his advisors. It reminds me of the way George w Bush behaved when he was being manipulated and advised by Karl Rove and company. The one difference is Biden's advanced age has made him come off even weirder. At times he has that behavior of a confused old man who lashes out in anger.

Most of my family lives in Virginia and all of them except for my father voted for Biden and then voted for Glenn Youngkin as governor. They are working class people and have developed an increasing contempt for the Democratic party they voted for 12 months ago. They voted for him because they wanted normalcy and he's instead embraced the radicals who advise him. I have both Latino and Filipino in laws, and he has lost all of them.

I've been a member of the Democratic party for over 20 years and this man has destroyed the entire brand. He's allowed Florida to be completely taken over by the GOP. He never should have run and the party never should have engineered the primary to cement his victory. He's too old and we all know it even if many of us won't admit it.
