We're all a part of this. I've been asking myself questions, at an increasing rate lately, like "where does all this material come from?", "who makes all this stuff?", "what's the effect of making this?', etc., and any hint of an answer leads to nowhere good quite quickly. That is especially true when you consider the human and other animal elements. Just looking into the trash makes you realize the insane amount of single-use material that is used for daily life. Search the food Amazon throws away, including masses within the usable dates. Even things that are not single use makes my mind be boggled where all the stuff comes from.

Humanity's obsession with growth and scale is like a dark force we have to actively fight against, but the obsession is winning handily. And it feels that less and less are pushing against it, with many pushing for it.
Neither of you are adding any information — could you? Actually very interested.

I'm not sure what the solution is, or whether it is even a design problem at all, rather than a societal/political/licensing problem.

My older vehicles had 3 controls for exterior lighting: parking lights, headlights, high beam. They were simple on-offs with feedback that indicated their current state. If people couldn't see your car, you couldn't see your gauges.

My 2021 Honda has SEVEN pages in the owners manual dedicated just to the headlight operation -- not counting the several other sections it calls out for related information. Some sections are called out as US specific and some called out as Canadian model specific.

Let's take just the high-beams for instance:

Flashing the high beams is a different physical control than turning them on. Activating the auto-high beam functionality is somehow not a separate control, but is done flashing your high beams, and there is a not-very-clear symbol in the instrument panel that indicates the current state. This means that when you flash your high beams, you are also changing the current state of the auto headlights. If you flash it an even number of times you will keep the same state, if you flash them an odd number of times, you change the state. Furthermore if you hold the stick in for 40 seconds, you disable the auto headlight feature entirely. If you hold it in for 30 seconds, you turn it back on. Yes, there are two independent levels of "on" and "off" respectively just for the auto-high beams.

It works perfectly fine when you know what it's doing, but it isn't something that a person would automatically know if they were someone who started driving when you turned on headlights by pulling a knob on the dash.

Besides that one specific gripe, there's 160+ pages dedicated to just to controls and the instrument panel alone.

Anyone who reads a modern 600+ page owners manual will learn something. The problem is that people don't, and sometimes the thing they didn't learn is important.

The workers at the foxconn factories have a lower suicide rate than the average for all people in the provinces in which the factories are located.

A few dozen suicides is a normal number out of a population of 350,000 human beings, which is how many foxconn's iPhone City holds.
Adversarial examples don't confuse people, only algorithms.

Perhaps you need to face the fact that if the CV algorithm fails against these examples when humans don't, then the CV algorithm is too brittle and should not be used in the real world. I don't trust my life to your "It kinda looks like a road, oh wait it's a pylon, I've been tricked, BAM!" dumpster fire of an algorithm.

We used to have to craft robustness into algorithms based on the false positive rate. Nobody looks at a CFAR style approach anymore, and it shows. The state of the art approach of pinning everything on ML is a dead-end for CV.

I think the idea is that you let in water from rivers and possibly also from the Atlantic and possibly even the Red Sea, in a controlled manner, have it run via turbines and keep the actual water level low via evaporation to keep the whole scheme working.

This will eventually result in salt and minerals from the water concentrating in whats left of Mediterranean - so basically the exact opposite effect.

This is a pretty cool database of visual ornaments published in texts during the Yellow Nineties movement (1890-1899).

In the DB you can enter a term, like "head" in the search box and get visual elements containing heads!, with high quality images of the element and sources for which yellow nineties publication the element occurred in.
Aside from this being a really simple calculation for which there are lots of online calculators and articles...there is no reason to buy a prime lens for streaming.

Modern kit zoom lenses are more than sufficient for even raw 1080p...and by the time your stream has been compressed twice (the first time likely by a hardware encoder on your video card, which is not exactly stellar encoding quality in the first place), there is exactly zero point to the very minute difference in quality, particularly since in a studio you can provide enough light that the lens can be stopped down to its ideal aperture.

If the goal is "head and shoulders shot", you probably want an 85mm (35-mm-equivalent) focal length, or thereabouts. 85mm is the classic portraiture focal length for 35mm format, because it yields a very natural look. 50mm might be more conducive to smaller spaces, however.

If by "Sony" you mean one of the a7 series mirrorless cameras...unless you're planning on streaming in candle-light conditions, that's also a massive waste of money. Any micro four thirds camera made in the last ten years will output gorgeous video quality for streaming even if you don't go to great lengths lighting-wise.

Just dug a little deeper, and I've arrived at this conclusion:

In accents with the merger, "four," "for," and "fore" are all always homophones.

In accents without the merger, "four" and "for" are never homophones.

And in some subset of these non-merged accents, "fore" may be pronounced identically to "four" (as listed in the IPA guide in your first link). In another subset, it may be pronounced identically to "for" (as implied by the "Homophones" section in that same link).
Only on youtube, you have to watch everything through a filter of "who is an expert sharing their knowledge" and "who is trying to sell me this thing".
Potentially yes, but hard to believe that a $7bn business exists only because of lack of information. I certainly don't lack the information and few other people from my circle that also pay for it so it is hard for me to scale from there.
While I do agree that security theater does have a connotation for things that have no reason to be done, I only meant that it's not enough. It's theater in the sense that it would only provide a sense of safety, not solve the actual underlying issue or vulnerability class.
Misinformation and lies can directly cause harm - i.e. scaring/deluding people into not getting a vaccine for COVID-19. Any blatantly incorrect speech where the expression alone can kill others should be evaluated for censorship. Even the founding philosophers of free speech agreed that expression should be curtailed when it would cause harm to others.

Also weirdly enough, Galileo was censored because he insulted the pope, not because of his theories on heliocentricity. Galileo tainted (part) of his objective scientific truth by injecting his own biased personal vendetta into it.

That might be a valid thing to defend against by using specific algorithms that protect against it, but that's distinct from what you wrote about it being easy to forget to implement a crucial part of it. Everything in cryptography is easy to get wrong, that's why we use tested libraries. But if there is new advice on protecting against attacks like spectre, rowhammer, and others that exploit hardware problems, I'd be interested to learn more. If you have a blog or paper where someone explores the fragility of different algorithms in that regard, let me know!
Galileo's book was censored by the church because it insulted the pope.

I'm not certain if that exists much today. Similar censorship would be curtailing mockery of public authority figures.

Strongly disagree. I see no bias in vaccine uptake with respect to health outcomes. If anything I would expect the more at-risk to be more likely to be vaccinated, which would skew results towards showing an anti-vaccination result, yet...

Measuring COVID cases and outcomes in two unbiased population samples gives a statistically significant result. Please show me why this is false, I would love to know, but I don't see how what you list would introduce bias that would make that graph "more or less useless"

We created Security Camera Lens Calculator with 3D graphics(WebGL) and a built-in camera database.

https://www.jvsg.com/calculators/cctv-lens-calculator/

It is a web app (Javascript+React) that runs in a browswer or on a tablet or a smartphone.

It took our team more than 1 year to complete the calculator.

Calculator functions:

- calculate pixel density (PPM/PPF)

- clearly see dead zones in 3D

- check DORI zones (detection, observation, recognition, identification) based on pixel density calculations and IEC and EN 62676 standard.

- calculate lens focal length

- load a floor map to see camera coverage on your plan

- over 9,000 video surveillance camera models embedded in the CCTV Lens Calculator.

- 12 languages supported.

Today we launched our Security Camera Lens Calculator also on ProductHunt.

We would love to get some feedback. Particularly from people using it to solve real world problems.

I know that’s the popular western view. But at least in this case, it doesn’t seem to be related to Foxconn. It looks as though Xu even enjoyed his time at Foxconn (given he left and then came back, and was actively involved in the newspaper). The problem was, he wasn’t enjoying his time in society.

I think the high suicide rate is related to the plight of migrant workers (datong) in China. It is a reflection of just how hard life in China is for the urbanising population. If you’ve spent time in the big 3 cities, you’ll have seen this phenomenon, a massive exploited workforce often homeless, or living in cramped conditions.
I think Guttman is referring to the GCM nonce when he talks about the "counter"; GCM has a famously short nonce, so the common advice is to use an incrementing counter as your nonce rather than risk colliding random nonces. In that context, "forgetting to increment the counter" is a huge footgun, not a "core and simple feature of the mode".

(You can't really forget to increment the underlying CTR counter; your system won't work.)

what does "register" mean as you use it?
The issue isn't whether hybrids have some use cases, it's that Toyota is actively fighting EV adoption and trying to teach kids that EVs are evil, bad for the environment, etc and hybrids are cool/better. Simply because Toyota has been caught off-guard big time by how fast the EV market has moved, and now they're left holding a very wet, cold blanket that is hybrid technology.

EVs will meet most everyone's needs, whether it's a bike, motorcycle, car, or van/light truck. Wright's Law has held for EVs and batteries, and very soon EVs are going to be cheaper than ICE cars. Just the last week or two on HN alone there have been articles about how battery prices are continuing to plunge. Capacity/density improvements are slower, but already many EVs have nearly the same range as a lot of ICE car equivalents. For example, plenty of cars have about 300mi range, and 250 mile range EVs are now commonplace.

Given they're the most expensive part of an EV and there are already numerous EVs on the market that are at least within spitting distance of ICE equivalents - in a few years EVs are going to be eating ICE cars for lunch price-wise. They're mechanically simpler, lower maintenance needs, etc.

Solar keeps getting cheaper, wind keeps getting cheaper too. In the US, +40% of the installed electric generating capacity this year was solar and wind. The installed capacity last year was equal to something like twenty nuclear power plants.

Liquid iron-based batteries already being sold...and are safe, simple, and cheap as hell to make and scale well all the way from "household" to "grid substation" levels which is the last hurdle for us going to significantly more renewable energy technologies.

I could see in ten years having an iron-based battery in my basement or in a little shed behind the house, my roof covered in solar panels, and an electric bicycle and car in my garage. Maybe a co-generation furnace (sterling engine generator that also supplies hot water for heating and bathing) as a backup...but quite possibly no grid connection at all.

>regardless of social or economic status

Absolute nonsense. Only 11% of Indians spoke English according to 2011 census. The ability to speak fluent English is the biggest marker of social and economic status after caste in India.

This is not really some deep insight. Everybody in India knows this, especially the 89% who don't speak English. There are even bollywood movies even based on the concept (see Hindi Medium, English Vinglish).

>Every child gets to learn 3 languages

The quality of teaching of English in government schools especially state boards is abysmal.

If you're going to look at it that way, then we have a mostly-white middle-class who is experiencing for the very first time the government wielded against it as a weapon. (They are less than thrilled.)

But I don't think that's exactly what's going on; I think it's a clumsy attempt at a rehash of Lyndon Johnson-Great Society-style governance. And it's obviously not working, so there's a rush to find the most plausible people to blame.

Just because you were able to resolve the ambiguity doesn't mean there wasn't a problem.

Precision matters: Ambiguity is perhaps the leading reason that parties to contracts find themselves embroiled in costly, dragged-out lawsuits: When a term in a contract could plausibly be interpreted in multiple ways, and there's money riding on the outcome, the lawyers for both sides will come up with all kinds of arguments why their client's interpretation should win.

Here, the GGP's misuse of the language doesn't really matter. But it's still better to stick to the standard, so that when it does matter, the meaning will be clear.
> With GCM, incrementing the counter is done in the library and not exposed for you to forget.

GCM has two counters, the message-block-counter (4 bytes), and the message counter / nonce (12 bytes). The former is inside the crypto library, the latter is supplied by the client and can be mismanaged like any other IV.
