There is also interesting preliminary work on mRNA for Malaria and various bigger parasites (hookworms etc), along with traditional long-term foes like HIV, RSV, herpes family, etc.
Bluntly claiming someone's post is false is rather rude isn't it? particularly on a subjective philosophical topic.

Governments are never "givers" they are just different systems of trade-offs, which can also be in terms of services and freedoms. For example, you have a right to justice if you are wronged. Society can either step aside and let you seek it yourself, or, if that behavior (vigilantism) is outlawed, then they are obligated to instead provide you with a system to seek justice within. Or they could come up with some alternative to allow you to protect your right. From this perspective, your right is not an entitlement and you don't have to postulate a new entitlement every time the govt creates a new program for (ostensibly) helping people achieve their rights better.

Remember the Rittenhouse trial and the big to do about the video being enhanced when zoomed? Digital evidence and photos are suspicious for the purpose of evidence. Not commenting on the results of the trial.

Sidebar not specific to that trial, slow motion, and slowed video shouldn't be shown to jurors because it creates the illusion of having more time to think. Everything in real life happens at one speed, you can't back it up, slow it down, or armchair qb it then decide if an action was appropriate.

This came up big time with the Rittenhouse trial when the judge didn't want to use the pinch to zoom method on video of the event. A lot of people laughed because he talked about AI but he was on the right path, it does inject pixels to scale the image.
my kid brought home a picture of them taken at school by the school. It didn't look like her. the shiny smiley filters were not real happiness. cameras replacing happiness that is there with happiness that isnt there is quite a delusion.
You’re spot on. I’ve done exactly this for the last 20 years with several old Mercedes. It only works because I have a great local independent mechanic, and I don’t mind spending $2k/year in maintenance.
I think he is hired for his contacts. Not for his skills.
Good question.

We empower the government to guarantee our rights.

They are rights whether the government exists or not, and whether the government enforces peoples' rights or not.

For example, slavery violates peoples' fundamental right to liberty, whether the government legalizes slavery or not. Rights do not flow from government action. Rights are a fundamental consequence of human nature.
Or, maybe, knowing that releasing software that turns out to deliver markedly lower quality results for people already weary from centuries of marginalization would open them up to such accusations, they didn't get lucky so much as their are enjoying the benefit of having listened to such criticism, testing their software across a set of data as diverse as their customers, instead of just that set of photos from D'Brickshaw Ferguson's and Abigail Cumberbatch's wedding.

It's not like it goes from 10mph to 15mph to 5mph constantly or anything. Accelerating immediately causes the board to tilt back to your neutral angle and the controller lowers the output after a few milliseconds.

You can generally keep going at whatever speed you want to go but there are probably tiny fluctuations.

While I have my doubts with the build quality (initial Model 3s had panel gaps my finger could fit in), my low opinion of Teslas goes far beyond merely their inability to put a sheet a metal on straight, or merely make sure the colors match[0].

The Model S interior is ugly and empty, and the Tesla infotainment system is a joke. Just integrate with CarPlay, and toss that Mickey Mouse crap like off brand maps and streaming services.

> You can't just tell someone they're not allowed to take food from your plate, while simultaneously not providing anything for them to eat.

You can, and a lot of people do say this. And it was said many times in history, and ... people were maimed for it regularly. (And every day we get the reports, pictures, videos about people inside a fence saying that those who are outside should just go and try their luck somewhere else.)

The whole point is that wordgames are not going to get us the desired utopistic society where people feel that obligation to act to uphold others' rights in accordance to their power/ability for doing so.

It needs a culture that cherishes this, enforces this, perpetuates this.

In essence we need a control loop that keeps society on track, and this system has to be aware of all the usual problems (the optimal set-point of intolerance of intolerance, top-down systems tend to consolidate power, bottom-up systems can easily oppress minorities, political arbitrage of resources for favors is an ever present problem, and so on).
> A fully loaded F-150 is $78k. I would be shocked if you also said anyone driving an F-150 is by definition rich

Someone driving a fully loaded new one has to be pretty comfortably upper middle class to rich.

And also a fully loaded F150 buyer is culturally a different market segment than a Model 3 buyer. There's no real comparison between them.
They already have been giving them a dog tongue and whatnot.
I also agree that relying on database schema is a show stopper.

First counterpoint: As long as data type information isn't completely messed up, I can dump excel spreadsheets in a database, or dump database CSVs in a data lake, and start querying them right away using SQL with complex joins using auto-completion from the dataset alone.

Second counterpoint (harder to communicate):
I work with a SaaS database (MS Dynamics/Dataverse) which doesn't provide direct SQL access and is not supported by common ORMs. Some of the data APIs require relationship schema information which invariably put a needle in attempts to generalize functionality, or just consume.

In this context, creating a simple in-memory test database or serializing records between modules, cannot possibly function without also knowing schema information if queries are going to make use of it. So now you need to carry schema information for everything, and load it at run-time from generated code or a live database, in back-end and front-end, just to interact with data where simple SQL would have worked just fine.

Conclusion: I dislike the proposal -- even if not breaking backward compatibility, it brings database-configuration details to SQL. SQL is imperfect and is already hurt by database-implementation details (like date functions) but it remains a beautiful expression of relational algebra and set theory - a query given the same data should return the same output, regardless of context. SQL is lingua franca for a reason.

The proposal feels like a fairly specific developer-centric extension and isn't where SQL should be headed, in my opinion.
I recently bought blank keycaps to remove the temptation. It’s been a happy experiment so far.
What about an offline password manager? Like pass[1] or one that supports the KeePass format. Then you could use your regular file synchronization tool to synchronize the database files. You could also use a P2P sync tool like Syncthing. (Of course this makes more sense if you already have some kind of file sync setup.)

I always do cut-paste at the source and then paste at the target.

I've been using Moom since 2013 as a window tiler on macOS. That combined with the new window snapping is much better than macOS tiling IMHO.
Agreed as we've been living in the era of deep fakes for a while. I shudder to think how computational photography can advance to such a degree to blur the context to any unsuspecting user, whether accidental or intentional.
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery – a fan's tribute 10 years on
Ah right, we "ugly Americans" are always pretending to know things we don't know, like whether a car dealer we wish to buy from sells in our own market. We should defer to our international betters on these sort of basic facts, as well as on the appropriate number of random blue rounded rectangular rings that should appear on the exterior of a car (the answer, apparently, is much more)
Altering photographic images has always existed. 35 years ago I developed my own films, and took artistic liberty on each photo I printed on photographic paper. I also used a sepia process, and my sister would colour the photos afterwards (we didn’t have colour film, but black and white).
The issue is alarm fatigue. Couple this with the regular result of a collision avoidance situation being to go at most ~0.5 NM behind. You also have issue with corners where the vectors will intersect. There are projects to start trying to share waypoints through something similar to AIS which may help reducing the number of alarms to something workable.

Look here for a nice example of chaos (or anywhere around Europe for that matter):

If you option one so it's as expensive as a Model Y, then yes, absolutely. Honda also makes a Type R civic which is definitely a rich man's toy.
Which monitor? I'd been waiting for the LG (forever) and finally ordered the Lenovo, although my shipping updates keep changing. I'll have to try rectangle once it's here.
Genes absolutely determine who is smart and who is dumb. This is an incontrovertible fact. There is no single other factor that has more effect. And the truth cannot be racist; it is inherently non-ideological.
And if it is May 29 and you notice an attacker has been lurking in your network for at least 2 weeks (but you don't yet know exactly when it started or how they got in) you will be very happy that you have netflow and access logs going back 30 or 60 days or a year. And that's considered an operational requirement for anyone who cares about the safety and security of their systems and networks.

This is the sad truth, especially in companies the size of the ones listed and many more like them. I would be curious what would happen if a company gave developers at least some power to decide priorities for a quarter.
If I hadn't been gifted a pair of beats earbuds, I could see myself believing similarly. The ones I was given were very nicely built, with tactile components that felt of significant quality, as though they were assembled with great care. They were also the muddiest, mushiest, and most unpleasant listening experience I've had in the last couple of decades outside of bad laptop / phone speakers or scenarios that used explicitly damaged components. When I first got them I thought that I had received a bad pair, only to find online that the sound profile was intentional.

They were awful.
I wouldn't trade KDE for macOS. Not even close.
Well if India the country cant even bother to inspect its own factories (in many countries we dont bemoan the american overlord to please stop our people from beating each other: we just inspect ourselves), nothing will change.

The problem is Indian or Chinese people valuing each other so low they do that to each other. The american overlord, they tell him yes yes and will print all the pretty pictures and stamped documents he required. So Apple, Foxconn, I dont think we should even care, they dabble in a specific environment: what is India doing for its taxpayers ?
So there is all this evidence that Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to interfere with the election, you're absolutely sure it exists, but you can't actually point to it. Same as this Korean wall.

The Mueller report concluded that there was no evidence of collusion (conspiracy), bu that doesn't mean anything because it's like how you can't see the wall from South Korea.
This is very true. Cheap umbrellas are a community item. :)
>You can't have nice things because you aggressively criminalized the white hats

This isn't how a white hat should behave. At the first issue, they should have stopped, reported, and waited. At the very least, a responsible disclosure, followed by a reasonable time, then maybe public disclosure-- or just move on. Continuing to dig and steal information because someone didn't reply is unacceptable.
You’d still use a possessive “‘s” after “Emacs” because it’s singular, like “Emacs’s context menu”.

> You can’t gather up a second of frames and stack to one photo.

Oh, but you can. A full second would make for a very choppy video of course so you don't have as long in which to do it as you might for a still, but there are benefits to be gained and the Pixel 6 series does exactly that.

Yeah no, sorry, if you can afford a $45k car you must be pretty rich. I know there are places in the world where a $45k car is almost a toy, but that's an extremely narrow and very priviledged perspective.

It isn't part of KDE/Plasma ever since KDE4 AFAIK. It is "there" in the sense that you can find it in KDE's website and some distributions provide it, but it isn't the KDE file/web/whatever manager anymore.

Also the functionality i described above doesn't exist anymore in current Konqueror - doubleclicking on an .html file doesn't open it inside Konqueror (not even selecting "open in tab" does - even though it does open an empty tab that does nothing :-P), it opens it in Firefox (or whatever browser you have installed i guess). Index.html in folders is not handled anymore and the option to toggle/enable it is also gone.

This is from a quick test i just did with Konqueror available from openSUSE Tumbleweed's repository right now. Also it crashed twice and the settings window had some missing icons and other weird glitches, both of which basically show that it barely receives any attention nowadays.
Can move != Does move. All this talk, but not a single customer mention.

I copy and paste from SO, but it's pretty rare that I can use the code as-is. Sometimes it's not even in the same language. My usual habit is to leave a link to the web page in a comment. Sometimes the link is more valuable than the code itself because a SO thread will include differing opinions and good explanations.
Most jobs in industry are in quality control for medicines, food, paint, cleaning products, etc. Most industries need at least one chemist to analyse input and output to your processes. Then you have academia/teaching.

Ask HN: What will stay the same in the next 50 years?
As a senior CS student, I am interested in looking for ways to improve my professional skills and develop habits that will ultimately pay off long-term in my career.

From browsing internet forums and listening to friends it seems that a popular approach to bettering oneself as a software engineer is to "learn the latest technologies". However, with so many new technologies to choose from, how will I know which ones will benefit me long term? This reminds me of the Red Queen hypothesis [0], learning new stuff just to keep up.

I suppose the stereotypical example is the web development space with its many frameworks (Reactjs, Nextjs, Svelte, Remix). I notice this as well with programming languages such as Go, Rust, Julia, Dart, and Kotlin.

On the flip side, I wonder if mastering the fundamentals and the things that will not change in the next 50 years is a wiser approach. This is inspired by the ideas of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett [1, 2]. If this is true in technology, then I wonder what are those things that will not change in the next 50 years?

I also wonder how the Lindy Effect [3] applies to technology. Would it be more worthwhile to strive for a high level of proficiency in decades-old languages such as Java and C++, or focus instead on promising languages such as Go and Rust? Reading Dan McKinley's article on Choose Boring Technology [4] nudges me in the direction of focusing on more mature technologies.

AI enhancement of imagery injecting made-up data was a minor plot point in the novel Congo (the one about diamonds and apes), if I recall correctly, so this has been a known risk for a long time, and ML educators and practitioners aren't doing a good enough job of managing and talking about that risk.
In theory what prevents me from using a huge lens and sensor on a DSLR or a mirrorless camera and then using the same advanced software but now running on a desktop computer or a server that is many times more powerful than a smartphone to do advanced post processing?
Have you ever tried to bike to work regularly? There are a huge number of problems, at least in American cities that aren't NYC:

- drivers don't give a crap about cyclists

- every time it rains everything you wear gets mud all over it
- no bike lanes in a lot of roads

- terrible public transit, either you sit next to people who smell like pee or the train comes every 30 mins or there are no bike racks or your bike is likely to get stolen if you leave it alone for 30 seconds

- if you need to pick something up on the way to or from work you basically need to wheel around your bike in the store because otherwise it's 100% getting stolen by some guys with an electric saw

- some American cities are very hilly, so any commute longer than 2-3 miles becomes very tiring

I see lots of folks in the tech industry using password managers and using the password manager to create and fill passwords. I've also seen people use password managers to remember the ~1 password they self created and consistently reuse.

Bitcoin is a decentralized monetary system. Nobody controls it, nobody can print new bitcoins out of thin air, nobody can confiscate your bitcoins as they could from a bank account. The fees are quite low, considering that you can securely transact hundreds of millions of dollars of value for the cost of about $1.

And I don't understand how does LN centralize the chain. Who gets more control and what exactly can they do with that control? Can they print more bitcoin? Can they seize funds? Can they censor your transactions? No.

>Far from being a general-purpose asset, NFTs commonly have double-digit transaction fees to work with or mint, making them unsuitable for the vast majority of artists who are interested in them

So they are beneficial only to a subset of artists, not all of them. I can live with that.

upd:

>There isn't really a version of this world where coins become tremendously valuable or renewable electricity becomes cheap and widely available, and we don't have any new miners entering the system. In fact, quite the opposite, the system relies on that not happening -- if electricity and GPUs get too cheap, the network has to scale or it becomes vulnerable to attacks from rich actors.

This can be said about any industry that has to consume energy to create profit. All the actors compete for energy and try to outbid each other, eventually finding an equilibrium. The solution is to get more energy, so that there is enough both for mining and for videogames.

When you're operating in a non typed language, you don't have a choice. That's the best option.

I'm a big fan of printing articles to read. Digital reading--whether my Kindle, phone, tablet, or computer--has always been a worse experience for me in a number of ways. The only benefit I've experienced is portability, but I get so much more out of having some printed articles, so I don't think of it as a real con.

My biggest problem is formatting for printing. And, unlike the author, I often find that there are graphs or tables in images that I want printed, so stripping all images doesn't work. But I don't need pictures just because there are pictures.
