> HDR on windows is also totally broken. It was a nightmare to get something that correctly rendered full 10bit HDR video (I ended up having to use MPC-HC with madvr and a ton of tweaking). You also have to turn off windows HDR support and use D3D exclusive mode. After updating my TV to get DRR, the audio for this setup stopped working.

Odd, I've got 3 different HDR monitors across 2 Windows computers (one Nvidia, one AMD) and also 2 different HDR TVs occasionally connected to each and I've never had to turn HDR off or do tweaking in madvr to get it to look right. Having HDR disabled in Windows globally makes me wonder if the adjustments you're talking about are referring to tonemapping HDR content to an exclusive SDR output.

One thing I will say is TVs default to some god awful HDR settings. Well I guess you could say that about picture settings on TVs in general but it's even worse for HDR. It took me a solid 40 minutes to figure out how to get the picture settings for a Samsung Q900R to display HDR properly instead of "worlds darkest picture mode" (turns out the same values take different actual effect depending on the type of source you identify it as and "PC" is not what you want even though you specify HDR picture mode elsewhere and it detects an HDR signal...). Also for SDR content you'll need to adjust the SDR bridghtness slider depending on the actual brightness of your display.
Do you have an up-to-date reference that handles all those concerns in one place?
I suspect, totally off the cuff, that this is more related to destruction of insect habitat, overuse of pesticides, cats, night time lighting, and a whole slough of other anti-insect man-made problems. Global warming plays a part, no doubt, but my guess would be that it’s not the primary problem. Almost all of the yards around me are insect deserts, and these yards are common across the US urban and suburban regions.

For many decades now, we’ve effectively been waging war on a key part of bird diets.

Edit: also, as mentioned elsewhere, we’ve reforested, but have subsequently lost critical meadowland. And our new forests tend to be more monocrop than the woodlands of old.

Indeed. The author writes:

But i have never heard this said even once. Rather, inevitably someone will bring up the point that you can do it with reference_wrapper. Check it out:

I suspect you might be experiencing the classic freshman medical student syndrome. The papers (or medical studies) need to be contextualised, and that contextualisation takes lots more of knowledge than just reading some papers casually.

Instead, I suggest reading IPCC reports. While quite stark and damning, they provide context for the predictions and balance speculation out, so you don't get "we're all going to die in a decade", "our kids are going to starve to death" kind of nonsense that gets into public attention (thus incentivising lousy papers coming to similar conclusions).

Bear in mind, this isn't "how rich" Elon is, eg. his liquid cash, but rather his net worth that takes assets/stock into consideration. I'm not particularly fond of the guy, but saying that he's worth more than 250 billion dollars seems like a bit of a stretch. He's got a cult-following and a never-ending hype cycle that greatly exacerbates the value of his stock and assets, which while technically valuable, doesn't really pan out in real life. I wouldn't be surprised if the dude is relatively cash-poor, considering the how the SEC breathes down his neck when he moves a muscle. If he tried unloading any of his ownership of his companies and/or stepped down from his leadership positions, his net worth would nosedive. People don't buy into Tesla or SpaceX for the value they present, they buy it because Elon will keep being Elon, and much like Steve Jobs before him, you can always count on the cool hipster to sell more status symbols.
That was already called full speed in the USB 1 days though. There's a mode called low speed too which was 1.5mbit and meant for low throughput devices. Full speed was 12Mbit. This way stuff like keyboards and mice didn't need to include the highest end controller chips.

Calling it Full Speed was more a lack of vision than a deliberate attempt to confuse consumers as this HDMI thing seems to me.

So then when 2 and 3 came out they were forced to find superlatives. Hi-Speed, Superspeed.

The same happened with radio. High Frequency was up to 30Mhz. Then they found they could go higher. Very High Frequency, VHF. Then came more advances and Ultra-High Frequency.

Eventually they gave up after XHF and SHF and started using band letters :)

Using relative terms for constantly changing technologies is just a bad idea :)

I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned with social media. Mastodon too. I feel as if we've moved from long form content to essentially posting single words almost. Articles -> blogs -> microblogs -> tweets. I skipped Instagram and tiktok outright but I'd put those next on that "developmental" path.

With regards to social media I feel as if we are living through the proverbial lead in gasoline phase of this particular story.

Still derive some value from forums though.
I do remember how much changed in the last decade. A very nice decline in solar power cost. But you know what? That didn't solve any problems. Emissions kept rising at an exponential rate, meaning the problem not only kept getting worse, it got worse at a faster rate. Adding solar capacity replaced no fossil fuel capacity. We're using more fossil fuels than ever. We are still on exponential growth. So the next decades look bad. And those half-century bad predictions? They wouldn't be nearly as bad if we didn't continue exponential growth--that literally means no GDP growth, something no politician or public policy advocate will even talk about. Growth is making the problem worse, yet it is literally the only strategy that any one can think of to make life better in any way. Exponential growth of something. We've lost our collective minds, TBH. Like trying to grow a watermelon in a lightbulb. Exponential growth busts this planet's capacity, every time.

Lots of traffic problems in major cities due to giving Uber unlimited public resource capacity, rather than using the free market to bid it out (which is what medallions are, if I understand correctly).

Did the world blow up? Is that our standard for success? The world of many medallion owners blew up because Uber bought off government and propagandized the public to give them for free what others have to pay for.

OK so I read through the reports here and... there's nothing there. The report focuses on the reach of these people, which is legitimate, but the report also operate on a tenuous (if not entirely false) premise that the information compiled is "false" or "misinformation" similar terms. The very few (and obviously cherry-picked) examples for each supposedly nefarious actor are hardly damning. The report's authors do absolutely nothing to "debunk" the claims (and I recognize that there are claims that cannot be debunked by virtue of their design), and simply says "This is wrong."

Forgive me for not trusting either side here, but simply saying "you're wrong" to someone else doesn't meet my criteria for believing that you're right.

For many of us, we have ancestors (and cousins) in parts of the world where this is all just fine. So why would we prefer one set of ancestors over another? Why should we believe that the decisions the US-based ancestors somehow reflect a different reality here, rather than just, say, the motivations of the Prohibition movement?

So I guess my next question is: what is the replacement rate? Because 2.6B dead a year from a single source when there is only about 10B alive at any one time, AND that 26% annual death not being the highest cause of bird mortality (e.g. >>26% of all birds die a year), then that means there are a lot of bird babies and a lot of bird corpses out there. The stats are a bit mind boggling for me.

People are paying for the branding, not the item. It's the same reason a rolex is substantially more expensive than a watch that tells time just as well - people spend money on more expensive versions of things that provide no additional practical benefit explicitly to demonstrate that they have money to burn. If you don't care about the brand, you can still buy third party options and they work just fine at a fraction of the cost. Indeed if you had to pay for the expensive apple version, it wouldn't mean anything that you spent so much, and then it would ironically be significantly less valuable.

That chart clearly shows a handful of countries happier than the US with less GDP per capita…
A lot of times the idea is wrong (and thus not valuable), and that can’t be proven either way without the code and data. So an idea that depends on code without the code is less valuable.

> using the free market to bid it out

that's pushing the use of "the free market" quite a bit. Cities control the supply of medallions. The fact that people can bid whatever they want for them doesn't make it a "free market".

Just a reminder, but we solved, err, almost none of those things. The ozone layer hole has just barely stabilized, and might recover by 2075, acid rain was never a scientific concept, but a media scare, but leaded petrol did absolutely contaminate the air and water and that lead is still out there, so is most of the asbestos, we just let it be for the most part, as it is really expensive to deal with--I know, I have some in my house.

It's a matter of perspective. Do we solve large problems? Not really. Do we forget about large problems and/or declare victory? A lot. We only have so much attention span.

For some papers. Others make a claim about some statistically significant look at data that might not have any basis in reality because the code is wrong. A famous example being the R&R paper in economics where a second look at the showed massive mistakes in the excel document they were using, invalidating the central thesis. Unfortunately not before being used by the world bank for years as a metric for forcing austerity on countries.

I've looked at this before to some extent. The problem seems to me to be that (at least for training) adapting a model in 'real-time' in response to new input just seems too hard to do in practice. In reality when training a model there are usually lots of tweaks, fine-tuning and iteration needed that require human intervention, at which point you don't really need real-time anymore. Perhaps there is a case for using such approaches for inference although it's not something I've thought about too much.

We would not be giving free public real estate to a private business. We would be giving a permit to use public real estate for a publically-endorsed purpose, a public good.

It's no different than allowing private bus companies to drive on public roads, or ice cream vendors to sell from their carts in a city park. We think those are good things, so we allow private businesses to do them.
I'm not expressing feelings on the premise one way or another, but in regards to the empty "advantages" section, I instantly thought of a line from the movie Trainspotting (albeit about heroin):

“People think it's all about misery and desperation [...], which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid.”
The problem with this post is that it's too short. It explains only a feature in your site, and it's not a knowledge transferable to other sites. Also, the solution is just to click in the obvious spot.

Only posting about your stuff is discouraged here, but if the post are interesting people will turn a blind eye. It's difficult to be sure how interesting are your own post, but at least you can easily check the length. Not too short, not too long. Add some relevant photos or graphics for bonus points.

It's easy to explain with an example. For example, bemmu had (has?) a small business, you subscribe to get a monthly package with weird candy from Japan. He posted from time to time blogs post about problems he had to solve in his business. For example how to (not) use advertisement in Youtube, or how to deal with credit card fraud, or how to repackage a thousand of candies. The first two are interesting because they may give ideas for other business, the last one is just one of the weird interesting articles that are good for HN.

Take a look at https://hn.algolia.com/?q=candy+japan and try to copy the length and style. (Perhaps it's a very high bar for starting, but try to aim for something like this.)

EDIT: Note that bemmu also post other stuff and is active in unrelated threads.
Yes. However, using modern computing and communication technology, it would be possible to run a complex economy with calculations "in-kind". That is, most calculation could be done using the inputs and outputs of millions of processes. Such an economy could avoid the instability of our current economy with its cyclical booms and busts.
> Basically, you don't want optional<T &>, but a parallel optional_ref<T>: something that optionally references a value, and if so, that value is somewhere else.

I figured it was more because some of the drones are out-dated. Current models capture more detail and can fly longer on a single charge, so older ones are being taken out of service as they fail, rather than being repaired and returned to the sky.
What a lovely idea.
They cost inordinately more than what profit they are getting from ads & spying, and are often missing things like multiple HDMI inputs. It's not a real solution, but a bad workaround.
I'd say "professionalized", but that's really just another way of saying the same thing. I see it as a positive thing that there are those who have specialized in it, and that it's a resource you can get.

It should be part of your mental health care, and it sucks that we've commercialized that along with the rest of our health care. That costs a fortune in the US, and mental health care is often limited. It would be great if we had a more rational way of paying for it, freeing up our professionals to put their help where it's best used rather than for those who can best afford it.
I really don't think its your own friends who need to be convinced to use Mastodon or anything else ActivityPub.

Who needs to be convinced are the content creators.

What we really could use are content management systems that can publish directly to the open web and then be interacted with by compatible systems. CNN.com and House.gov, for example, could be host systems that provide content out to the wider Fedi.
I can list many major influential papers in computer science that described an idea and didn't really give any concrete code, where we're still using the idea today.

For example the paper on polymorphic inline caching, which is the key idea for the performance of many programming languages today, just described the idea, and didn't present any code. How was it evaluated? People sat and thought about it. Holds up today.

You can reason about an idea through other things than concrete code. Code is transient and incidental. Ideas persist.
