It’s not ironic. It’s by design. Too many companies depend on closed-source ecosystems to siphon a profit from the average user, so they will never allow Linux to serve the masses while also allowing it to remain open and free.
Not sure if "10 high-res pictures of the object from all angles instead of a model" saves any disk space at all considering models in games are usually just one high res picture uv wrapped to vertexes.

Also, creating new content from GAN might not be super appealing for the artistic qualities of the game. Why not do what Escape from Tarkov seem to do with photogrammetry on real objects? Many props like soup cans, couches, whole environments, weapons, can be acquired in real world reasonably easily.
Haha yeah I couldn't care less, I just thought it was a funny anecdote and it's probably not entirely just because of the color, that's just what she said when I asked her about it a couple years ago. And excluding me from the group chats and having her relay everything to/from me is probably for the best anyways, I'm terrible at checking my texts and my friend/family know the fastest way to get a hold of me if Im not replying is to text her instead :p.
Yeah a lot of it is Quant Infra, but there's also a lot of internal applications for dealing with different aspects of their consumer facing business. On top of this, there's also a lot tools that are not customer facing and are just to track different aspects of the business and every day operations.
These are very broad and bold claims. Do you have any evidence to support any of these claims you made?

Also, why do you think a shady person would be likely to reside in Cambodia? Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
I'm sure this is funny but a much better example would be the Prius and electric vehicles.
Isn't the barrier to entry SEC regulations about being a public company? This is not avoidable through crypto.

As of now, we have a moderation portal and a team on standby to keep the site humming along. To get a sense of how decisions are made, you can see our content policy: https://www.netvyne.com/content-policy

There's also an automated component that will be scaled up as time goes on; while moderation will not be fully automated in the near future, the realistic target is for a AI-assisted system that will greatly increase not only throughput but consistency/correctness as well.

There is a lot of uncertainty here that we'll have to manage moving forward. My background is in deep learning (mostly CV), and there are some parallels between these challenges. Because of this, I do believe these problems can be solved over time.

Curating civil discussion is our goal. Personally, I found the quote on dang's profile quite beautiful in putting into words a noble target that we ourselves will be working towards with our content moderation.
Like millions of others, this site looks great in a text-only browser that has no Javascript support.^1 If automatically running other peoples' Javascript or some other "feature" of a popular browser^2 is preventing someone from viewing the text, and the only way to avoid this annoyance is to disable the feature, then the problem is not necessary the feature, but how the feature is being used. People who disable or avoid the feature are not necessary anti-[feature]. They are trying to avoid the effects of how that feature is being used by web developers.

Actually, no. I run these tests on Digital Ocean servers in Bangalore, which almost always hits the DEL Cloudflare POP, where Airtel is the upstream and blocks the connection.

To fix this, an Indian user must actively avoid Cloudflare POPs, which is a bad proposition. Also, it shouldn’t be up to end-users of Neovim to fix what is CF/Airtel’s fault.
I guess that's a silver lining, but I'd imagine it has more to do with the absurdly early hours schools set.
The problem with windows updates + windows defender seems to be that they interact synchronously and only use a single thread. Even on my work laptop with an NVMe drive updates bring a single core to 100% for several minutes and it's nowhere near saturating IO bandwidth or IOPS.
"home server" here was intended to mean "network-facing http and maybe smtp server", not "server for domestic duties". Sorry if that wasn't more clear.

of course, no reason why the same box couldn't do both.
Yeah I think you bring up a good point. I actually meant to write a bit more on the Tech Risk aspect of the business. There's a lot of red tape, and it can be overbearing sometimes. But it is a bank so most of these measures are necessary.

While this is just an initial exploration and the authors admit as much. I can't resist pointing out the multitude of problems.

First the most nitpicky but easiest to solve: They tried lowering the music by tiny amount. Will lowering it more be even stronger? In particular will lowering it by a semitone work even better? Then it would suggest it's about the pitch rather than the tuning.

Second, they did first 440 and then 436. There will be a familiarisation effect. 2nd time in the same situation with the same music could likely less stressful. But yeah they mention they want to do randomization next.

Third, music is a deeply cultural thing. It may be that it's not objectively soothing, but rather subjectively soothing for people that grew up in certain culture and learned certain subconscious assocations. Some people like music that other people hate. This could quite plausible apply to even the tuning.

I basically rewrote the whole thing in an edit so yeah.
> This raises an interesting question - can a new technology ride the hype-train sufficiently long enough to become mainstream and benefit from network effects and ecosystem dynamics kicking in, even if in its best case scenario - it's only a replacement of status quo and not necessarily an improvement?

That's more or less how Uber works. They just ignored taxi medallion laws, and only ended up winning because everyone decided to abandon them.

Both of your solutions are great but don't fully cover the use case. They are useful for multiline strings, but implicit concatenation is also often used to break long strings that may not have newlines.
As a non-enthusiast I agree with your points. I’ve heard a lot about cryptocurrencies since 2010 and I’ve never had a need to use them. Paying for goods or services on a black market might be a valid use case, but I, like vast majority of people, have never needed to do that. Smart contracts sound like an interesting concept, but again, I don’t really have anything in my life that could use them in the foreseeable future.
Seriously, why the fuck not just bump to 8.0.0 or whatever?

Yesss... but I don't know how much I can say, so I won't say anything about it besides that it was a very complicated and interesting situation.
Ultimately this is why I don't like to work in Ruby. You can just never trust any line of code between the gem updates, the unhelpful signatures, the overreliance on hashes everywhere, and a million different levels of mix-ins and indirection. Yeah, it's expressive, but how much time are you really saving once you consider all these maintenance headaches?
im just saying if you believe this is actually the root of the problem, how do we get out of it? it is kind of our job? right?
I’m kinda jelly of “you people”. I grew up/live in far PNW and am a history nerd. Going to the east coast it’s just stunning how much living history is there, not to mention the accessibility of museums and archives for stuff I’m interested in, and the potential of so many forgotten relics hidden in attics, under staircases and in the back of closets. A different life I’d live in the western woodlands of VA and visit national archives for research each week and road trip every other. :D
Where is the world wide web in this?
Ops, my mistake. This is not Web 3.0, this is web3.
The tax service paid special attention to immigrants for the day childcare support system because immigrants in average commit more fraud (1) on other areas. This was understandable, not meant to be racist but very wrong and illegal. Also they just clawed the money back and you have to proof that you were innocent and they did not look at the evidence. Tax service uses outdated computer systems which are not connected to local system. Politicians promised to solve it and never did (still not).

(1) Many commit fraud by accident because of language issues and complicated rules. Also there are a lot of traveling immigrants who make mis-use of the Dutch welfare state by applying child credits or unemployment benefits while abroad.
YC's hard on for ex-Googlers seems odd, though maybe it's incidental. The focus on top schools is quite boring as well, but I guess there's still alpha there. It mostly seems like an easy filter for intelligence and conscientiousness.

Rebel's use of ML to predict future winners is odd to me, since it completely relies on interpolating within the set of past winners. I guess it might work, but it's not creative and seems highly correlated with the rest of the VC 'market'.
Why not? If NFT ownership ever became meaningful, the people with the guns can simply keep a list of ownership amendments separate from the blockchain.
Just the other day, there was a thread on HN about how terrible it was that employers could look at a candidate's salary history before making an offer.
It will never be there. Adobe and Microsoft won’t allow it. There can’t be a replacement for industry standard tools (like Word, Excel, Illustrator, Premiere) unless the replacement becomes the new standard.

Even if they could select them, how do they propose to invest? These are competitive processes; sophomoric Medium posts are unlikely to make them stand out.
"Anchoring" is a big deal in negotiations. It's useful to make the employer put out the first number.
>Poisoning? That's a bit bold. Can't take seriously a study with an agenda.

My daughter got into the dust of ant poison, so I called poison control. They said that the chemical was pretty inert to kids - she might have a nasty poop, but that was it. It was still poison
We don't have bank account fees.

Another fun fact: pretty much everyone here pays off their credit card every month.

The bank will close your account if you do not.

Of course there are exceptions, but this is the general rule.

(if you need money the bank will lend it to you and help you arrange payments)
I'm not sure it's that subtle. In the screenshot it looks like a random user was charged each time the method was called. A test for "run the query, notice the user was charged" would have failed. Maybe they got very unlucky and the test randomly picked the correct user, or maybe they ran the test against a database which contained just a single user, but that last part is within their control.

> I don't think any reasonable level of testing would have been thorough enough to catch such a subtle issue.

If there was a staging environment which tried to match production as closely as possible, and end to end tests of this feature were run, then this bug would have been caught. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable level of care for something as sensitive as billing.
I had XMLHTTPRequest functionality before they even released it by exploiting a MSIE bug.

I didn't tell them about it, since I could also read files on users' hard drives, and I didn't want them to remove the feature (bug), but it did enable the future of the web on my tiny little websites before people even started talking about XMLHTTPRequest.

I'd argue you don't even own the database entry. You own _a private key for a wallet that appears in_ the database entry for the hash of the image.

But to truly _own_ something, all the cryptographic guarantees in the world won't change the fact that true ownership can only be enforced through violence. And if your private key can be stolen by hackers in countries without extradition treaties, one could argue that anything digital is only "owned" in the absolute weakest sense of the word: no one has tried disputing it yet.
Very impressive project, but its always dissapointing to see something closed source. Look but dont touch seems the norm in lots of hobbyist scenes and it always holds back the state of the art. Have to respect the creators wishes though, and I can appreciate not wanting to field tech support questions about this for years.
What behaviors would you exhibit that you worry would get you in trouble?
It's not even a web that's being built.

Even Ethereum relies on TCP and UDP ports which are Web 1 as far as I care.

Invent some new "XYP" or whatever that isn't TCP or UDP and you can call it Web 2, maybe.
Sure. I'm just speaking hypothetically. It might have been better to say "uncorrelated" rather than "competitors".
On a side note, I found the point interesting about policing it by publishing/logging who has searched for your tax info (and limiting people to 500 per month). Although, in today's age of data sharing, it's not like that is a great barrier against wide publication of factual info.

I had some kind of similar idea about when you share your online / phone location with friends, but are worried about someone just using it constantly to monitor you. Make it clear to everyone that every <x> times, their use of it will be logged and published to the owner, so that they know they are also being kept track of...
> That doesn't describe a problem though, it describes a technical solution.

I'll present a problem that that solution solves. That cryptographically backed record establishes a closer approximation to the abstract idea of "ownership" than anything has before.

I was a pretty naïve first-time home owner in that I was surprised to learn about something called "property tax". "property rent" would be a better description, since its not a one time fee (like most taxes) but something you have to pay to a government entity in perpetuity. Don't feel like paying it? You get booted off "your" "property".

Title theft and fraud are also a thing, and we even have "title insurance" to help mitigate falling victim to it.

Neither of these things is possible on a cryptographic blockchain (eviction or theft). Ownership of the NFT cannot physically be altered without the owner's volition. Establishing a link between the NFT and the underlying asset is certainly a problem, but it's not one that blockchains are attempting to solve.
Here’s the best explanation I’m aware of. It’s long but worth it. It changed how I think about food. I’ve been much more successful in eating healthily now that I understand how the body processes different types of sugar. Refined sugar (fructose) is poison.

100% ... I read somewhere to only think about just the next step.. Nothing more. And I did. No grand plans just what I'll do tomorrow. I was going great.. then I started to get ideas and I made a to-do list I haven't worked touched it in 4 days now... It's like mind is at limit of processing.. like on 2% battery you can get by on light work auto pilot but do something intensive it will shut down, which is try thinking about tasks in to do list why? Not sure but I think probably because I visit reddit, HN, other stuff daily and already have brain bucket full of things to think about... I'm not sure how doers type manage it
High schoolers do not need daycare; they also do not need parents to dress them and get them to school. They should be able to manage those things on their own, and take care of themselves for a few unsupervised hours a day.
I wonder how large is IPv4 allocation business' impact on the stallment of IPv6 adoption.
I guess Shakespeare did write it that way, but I've always heard the saying as "Not all that glitters is gold." Perhaps he took some poetic license at the expense of logical correctness.
As an article this starts well but descends into the usual denial of commercial reality you see from Linux enthusiasts. The reason why you can get your 70 year old mother, or my 75 year old father in law to use Linux is because for their use case it is good enough and the best operating system is the one that a) meets your needs and b) you are used to. For me that is Windows. It could be macOS (except for games), but it isn't, because I'm not used to it so find it frustrating. It can't be Linux because I do a lot of intensive image manipulation, digital sculpting and CAD and frankly gimp et. al are terrible compared to photoshop, Zbrush is a none starter (yes Blender is good, I develop addons for it, no it's not a replacement for zbrush), fusion360, catia etc. not a chance to get them working properly and the open source alternatives are like going back to the 90s.

The idea that major games companies should spend 10s or 100s of millions to develop games just for Linux isn't commercially viable. I mean why would They do this? They don't have any kind of emotional investment in Foss which is the only real motivator. They would go broke AND they would get attacked by every other Linux user because the game wasn't free (as in beer and as in speech).

It’s hard to give meaningful advice without understanding the full context of the business. Details such as maintenance, customer acquisition, etc. all play a factor in your next step.
Some NFTs are stored this way (e.g. Blitmaps, Terraforms, Corruption(*s), &c); it's a more restrictive artistic medium since storage costs are high and technical limits feel like a trip back to the 80s. If you can fit nice art into the constraints then it can become quite popular/valuable since fully on-chain NFTs are actually decentralized (rather than the more common practice of linking to an external image).

I run Photoshop CC 2018 on Ubuntu 20.04 with WINE and it runs like a dream.

Anything earlier than 2018 won’t support high resolution displays and anything later is not currently supported by WINE, but Photoshop CC 2018 is very good.

Take a look at a sub elite/elite power lifter. They may be have a body composition of 20%+ fat, but they are also packing a lot of lean muscle. For the most part, I would call that a healthy individual, even though they're BMI (which is... problematic) would say that this person is overweight and in need of a diet. That doesn't even pass the sniff test for me.

Thinness is not the goal you want to achieve. It's a very easy goal to achieve when compared to being a fit individual. Starve yourself and you're done.

You can not starve yourself into being a fit individual.
Performance doesn't scale linearly with power use... very far from it actually. So making comparisons like "uses 2x the power" means very little. CPU will consume 2-3x more power to gain 5-10% performance. Especially in the desktop setting, they tend to consume as much power as possible for even the most incremental gains in performance... because obviously you're plugged into the wall.

And M1 is a process node ahead of Intel's offerings.

Intel fell laughably far behind on the manufacturing side, but people touting M1 as some design achievement and not simply a more cutting edge manufacturing process don't know what they're talking about.

The big gains in CPU performance in the modern era have always come from process node jumps. The big/little concept is a great architectural change for mobile as well. But you're not going to get substantially improved performance without improving the manufacturing side.

Both AMD and Intel's 5nm equivalent offerings will perform similarly to M1 on both power and perf.
There is hardly anything that doesn't evolve the internet one way or another. Haven't all the frauds become wire fraud now? Does this legislation still make any sense?
a) having been on the side of the ISPs that shady vpn providers approach when they're looking to rent dedicated servers or colocation space. 90% of the time when we did research into the potential "client" it turned out to be too much risk. Lots of common things like we couldn't tie them to a specific LLC or corporation in the USA or Canada, they couldn't provide any information of creditworthiness, the persons who wanted to sign the service agreement we had no way of verifying they were officers of the entity they purported to represent. People who would only contact by email and refuse to have a phone conversation or face to face.

b) that's a specific person, but I won't say who, for obvious reasons. Lots of reasons why from the POV of a shady vpn service provider you might want to live offshore and pay as little money in taxes as possible, I suppose, so there's a certain logic to it.

Please keep in mind I have been seeing weird/shady things in internet infrastructure for a very long time. I was helping set up OpenBSD firewalls for online casinos colocated in small island nation states 22 years ago, so I have a certain jaded perspective on these things.
