Indeed - I love the Mandalorian but costumes/puppetry aren't on the highest level in my opinion.
The painting also changes over the course of the movie... Of course they could have just made more than one painting.

I do think it probably just wasn't ready, but you should probably see this as a win for quality: they got to take more time to get the painting they wanted without delaying production, and paid no visible price for it.
That's because all that technological advancement went into making houses cheaper not better. Add to that the financialization of everything but especially housing over the last half a century (things that are the same as each other are easier to price and finance), and you get a country that builds mostly cheap low-quality housing that's all the same as each other. Add to that the fact that the labor force and the construction industry in general has coalesced around the new normal (which is natural), and you have a knowledge gap too, where most people and companies in the industry only know how to build the fast, cheap, easy-to-finance way. Anything other than the fast, cheap, easy-to-finance way is now niche, and therefore even more expensive than it would otherwise be. I think that this knowledge gap is the biggest reason why even even the richest people live in what is essentially just a bigger breadbox. If those rich people were to get anything other than a big breadbox, they'd have to really know what they wanted and seek out niche professionals who can build to their exacting tastes. And some do. But most rich people are just like anyone else, and they pick their new house from what essentially amounts to a catalog, and the builders put in the catalog what they already know how to build and like building - which is fast, cheaply built, easy-to-finance, disposable housing.
It’d most likely be similar to automobiles where you don’t void your warranty for repairs. Only when it’s proven that your repair broke it further or something else breaks will warranty not cover a repair, but still doesn’t void warranty on unrelated parts.
Is there a book which describes and explains all such things in detail for common public?
What is useful usually correlates with truth though.

The mind can be though of as a compressed predictor. Compression is important to save energy, there's no need to imagine all the gears of the watch if the goal is just to make a good guess as to when the hand will hit a certain number.
Considering they sold 930k cars in 2021 alone, I would guess they have a good bit more of cars on the road now, but less than Mobileye.
Radar, as we know from some Autopilot incidents, has problems detecting stationary obstacles.

I sincerely hope all the progress with the FSD package, which is different from the Autopilot software causing the phantom braking, quickly leads to an Autopilot update which avoids phantom braking and is good at avoiding any obstacles.
Both actually.

As dads are finally becoming academic research subjects over the last 10 years, we're learning more about the impact of fatherhood on their body/brains, how support needs to be more specific to dads, how their impact on their kids' growth is different from mums'.

But I'll say that most dads we've spoken to over the past year, after having felt invisible in their perinatal journey (or considered like "the lesser parent"), have said that they wanted some validation and wanted to read articles that would refer to them as 'dads' and talk about them dads. That's also why there is a section in the app that aggregates media articles written about fatherhood.
Cool idea. I spent a few minutes waiting for a match but no luck, so I’ll try again later. If this link was shared to say, Reddit or 4chan, would it be fair to say we wouldn’t pair with random HN users?

The only use I’ve ever found for traditional cruise control is to reduce ankle strain on extremely long road trips. Not a big fan.

Adaptive cruise control is about my favorite “driver assist” technology though. Makes the constant speed changes of rush hour driving much less stressful when you use a large enough safety window. Also on open highways it is just wonderful as you basically never touch it (unlike traditional which constantly has to be disengaged for even a single other car in your lane).

Worth noting that my vehicle’s emergency braking system is distinct and active regardless of ACC status. Also I’m always ready to brake manually.
Good luck using PTP in EC2.
They did get a 250,000 eur fine, however that is based just on IAB membership fees.

This ruling should make it a lot harder for advertisers to hide behind the IAB though. One would hope that opens members up to more substantial fines in the future.
This was a simple software bug. Firefox isn't forcing you to use telemetry.
Even with 7-8 hours of childcare I'm struggling to find time to code. How do you find time?
History isn't a great guide here. Historically the abstractions that increased efficiency begat further complexity. Coding in Python elides over low-level issues but the complexity of how to arrange the primitives of python remains for the programmer to engage with. AI coding has the potential to elide over all the complexity that we identify as programming. I strongly suspect this time is different.
I'm also very interested in open protocols, like Matrix and DeSo. However I disagree that everything has to turn into a media behemoth like Facebook. You make what you measure.
I was surprised about that too.

Still, we know that even while we don't have access to capital T truth, nature has the rules in place to make the Natural Selection of our paradigms to compete until one of these ideological constructs converge to capital T truth forcing the rest to reveal themselves as false truths that appeared to be valid up to a point by certain individuals in certain epoch of history.
I am curious, what happens if I get a /48 from you and some time later you decide you don't wish to be a LIR anymore. Do I get to keep my /48 somehow (i.e., does RIPE guarantee this)?
Your search engine is awesome, I've been using it since I saw it elsewhere on HN a few months ago.
That is true, but currently most manufacturers use a system like the initial Autopilot, the Mobileye solution with radar and some camera information.

LIDAR should be quite for collision avoidance in conditions where it can be used. This should improve car safety quite a bit.
replace "Singapore" with "China", then instead of flagging your comment, the HN crowd would shit themselves over your comment.
Is "lonely" one of the top 4 adjectives you'd pick to describe fatherhood? top 25? Maybe if they've described the costs in terms of benefits (as you did) it would be more accurate; I think they might mean it CAN BE emotional, draining, (still not sure about lonely) AT TIMES. If I was betting on it I'd guess they came to this characterization while trying to come up with their call to action, (probably subconsciously). Nothing sinister just off the mark.
Why not just augmented glasses? I mean with a transparent display that is just a display, showing the time and notifications in one corner. A larger view if pulled up through a menu.

I bet they could make them look very slick, since the hardware requirements would so much less arduous. There was a set of 'augmented' bicycle glasses here on HN some months ago and they honestly looked pretty compelling.
On a long highway run I find cruise control helps with economy more than anything else. This is because it stops you unconsciously accelerating when you don't need to. It also gives you the chance to wriggle your feet and legs a bit which can be nice. It's only really of use in light traffic as it'll quickly put you in conflict with other drivers who aren't using it. The other benefit is cognitive, but not in the way you might expect: it's not relaxing to turn it on, you still have to steer and very much drive the car; it's more that when you get bored, you can turn it off and "hand fly" the car again, and that change of modality is refreshing in itself.

(This is purely an aside but I have a temporary soapbox so why not. I'm skeptical of more advanced forms of cruise control, even simple things like adaptive. Anything that reduces your need to concentrate tends to leave you open to daydreaming (never mind actual distractions like phones); an example of the "TSA agent problem" where staring at a screen of benign bags all day turns out to be a bad way to detect guns in hand luggage. Better I think to have nothing, absent sci-fi-years-in-the-future autonomous cars where you can sleep while they're underway. Humans are awful at passively waiting for something out of the ordinary to occur; computers are great at that. Computers suck at common sense and detecting intention; humans are amazing. The current state of self driving cars plays to both actors' worst weaknesses!)
Perhaps they mean it skirts current privacy rules through legislative technicality.
Using Documentation-Driven Design to Guide API Decisions
imo there are often several components to burn out...

- going at it too hard, for too long
- letting your health and body deteriorate
- having your goals change without noticing
- bureaucracy taking too much % of your time
- creativity going out of the work
- too much stress for too long

My past experience with burn out is that it is a health issue first and foremost. You can't run your brain & energy systems flat out forever. Stuff starts to break down. Effect gets worse when you get older. When you are young, you can probably get away with it for a lot longer.

The stress you putting on yourself to "deliver results for others" means you walk around filled with anxiety and tension at all times.

In programming roles with regular stand-ups and tickets, the feeling of being monitored constantly for productivity (by management and peers) means you are carrying anxiety 24/7. In my opinion, some of the "well intentioned" group productivity methods such as regular meetings to check on deliverables tend to escalate stress levels.

Starts to feel like micro-management.

This rapidly can turn into feeling like "weekly / daily public humiliation" exercises if you are not able to maintain the cadence of results. The anxiety you might be feeling is actually a looming sense of dread of being micromanaged to deliverables in a public setting.

IF your projects have no program management, rational control of deliverables...pretty soon you just feel bad all the time. More anxiety, less motivation, more burn out. The daily stand-ups devolve into: "Lets see how much you have failed everyone today." That is a punishment, not a reward.

Once your work becomes a regular habitual exercise in punishment, then of course you are going to back off and not want to do it anymore. It is one of the same reasons why it is so important to keep a healthy mental frame around exercise and diet (reward, not punishment). Humans are animals. Animals like rewards and hate / avoid punishments.

So suspect your job has been turned into ritual humiliation / punishment and that is the root cause. Other factors might be at play, but that is my guess. Need to find a way to restructure work so that it is rewarding and not flagellating. That might mean systematically dropping some deliverables, pushing things out and renegotiating deliverables.

Having been a developer who also got stuck with project management - nothing is more stressful than having to both do the work and do the "client facing / management facing" negotiation.

You may find you don't want to be management and would prefer to be a pure specialist.

Smartest guy I ever met once told me: "The first thing I do when taking a new job is tell them I never want to be promoted. If you want to be promoted, they can make you do things." :)

I think so much of what made The Thing great is what they couldn't show because of their limitations, not because of their great special effects. It's a thing that the great digital effect artists have realized and integrated into their movies.

When you look at movies like The Arrival, which is not considered a great special effects film because they're understated and get out of the way of the story, the effects artists plop a digital ship into the middle of a field and leave it there. Understated digital effects, in conjunction with practical effects, are often the most effective and least appreciated.

Villeneuve has a tendency to direct movies that do this well (and I apologize for being a bit of a fan boy), and I hope that more movies take this direction.

I enjoyed the Marvel films, but at times they looked a bit like digital vomit on screen and became hard to follow. I couldn't even finish Aquaman, TBH, as it was just over the top with the amount of digital noise. Though, Justice League attempted to do better than this, the Darkside fight was a bit nauseating =(

Again, though, I think the Villeneuve films will stand the test of time, where as the blockbuster comic films will go the way of films like Predator. I enjoyed it at the time, but it doesn't really hold up.
>nobody's buying it

The top grossing films of the last decade disagree with this take. Many people are, in fact, buying it. We might not like it for aesthetic reasons, but you can't argue that it doesn't sell.

The examples in this article are surprising because I don't think they look very good.

While the CGI in the Star Wars example isn't amazing, it's no worse than the Ewok that has fabric folds showing on its costume.

In the second example, the devil is too human looking so all I see is a person in makeup (good makeup) where Steppenwolf looks completely alien.

Finally, the dune example gives a feeling of being truly out in the desert, where the Lawrence of Arabia looks like they're filming in a yard and the colors look oversaturated compared to what I've seen in real life deserts.
Maybe there are good actors but anytime people are spending money the market will arrange for a lot of people to try to fleece uninformed buyers, and on the internet to uninform the buyers.
This doesn't work for conduit and plumbing. mmWave radar does.
CGI worked pretty well in the original Matrix and Terminator 2. When CGI is innovative and fits the plot it's fine. When it's used in the same formulaic superhero movie 30-minute final battle scene we've seen a dozen times--with the same big boss and hundreds of disposable minions--it gets old.
The difference is that China doesn’t have real elections, and Singapore does. They’re not any less real than elections in say California or New York, even though one party always wins.
Really cool! Are headphones a must for now...?
'The Thing' wasn't greenlit because it used existing IP with a guaranteed audience. It's just a short story that recieved two very different adaptations 30 years apart.
Am I the only one who uses Fhem? From my point of view it‘s extremely robust which increases the wife acceptance factor . I‘m running Hue, Z-Wave sensors, Shelly‘s, Homematic and an Echo connection. Sooooo much potential.
The problem I have now is that after reading about how Mandalorian is filmed, I simply cannot unsee the set. Every time somebody walks around you can tell by subtle signs that they are on a small set surrounded by CGI. These days I yearn for a true exterior shot.
Personally I quite enjoy when my expectations are broken by interesting patterns in music. I enjoy a lot of 'experimental' stuff. Again this is just my personal preference, but most of the popular music in the US I find boring because it all seems to be rehashes of the same patterns, just getting louder.

I wish more people were exposed to a wider variety of types and patterns in music, there's a lot of great sounding music out there which breaks the usual mold played on radio stations
The problem is, this fits the pattern with what Heroku has been doing for years now. Whatever works and keeps working, they're happy to steer you towards. Whatever isn't working, they're just kind of hands up in the air letting things stagnate.
i have a fun one. i like to write and use firefox for research. i am using kde neon and past 3 weeks, on 7.2.5 and earlier, i think from 7.2.2 every often if i Alt-tab out of libreoffice, the app would crash. thankfully i have a habit of automatic ctrl-s whenever i take a break after finishing a sentence so i never lost any data but it was fun to have the same bug for quite some time.

no problems with 7.3 so far
It's market forces at work. When most people in a certain situation neglect a cost so they can afford everything else in their lives, everything else has a tendency to raise prices to eat up all of their income anyway.

It comes down to most people paying a lot of money for rent and not being able to afford other things like healthcare. Well rent is that high because enough people neglected to pay for healthcare that the competition for space made rent go up.

I live in a place where low income people have a whole lot of access though the state to get low or zero cost health insurance which is very good. My taxes pay for that and I have no problem with it.

A lot of the states that don't have such nice programs are largely run by parties strongly favored by the low income population so I'm not really sure this is my fault now.

People don't want these solutions, especially the political parties of the people who would benefit the most from single payer. If tried it will lose elections.

The things which could win elections are pragmatic measures to address the biggest cost excesses in medicine individually, but people are pretty dumb and tend not to rally for a large number of incremental improvements instead pretending that one big solution will definitely solve their problems and not just add new, different, and perhaps bigger ones.

Here's a job. You need a job. It pays in company scrip [1]. People took those jobs despite the negative consequences. The government eventually made such schemes illegal.

Your argument is "People have free choice, so anything that they do is legal."

The excuse of the perpetrators is "I'm not the one (directly) responsible for your poor economic situation, or your lack of education, so it's fair and moral for me to offer you a terrible proposition that you absolutely would not make if you were in a better economic situation." This is just where extreme capitalism gets you.

The list of examples is endless. Scrip. Children working in mines or cleaning chimneys. Click-through TOS. "Free" email. Indentured servitude.

At the end of the day it's no different than "You need to get on this boat to america, or this gentleman here is going to cut your wife's throat. Hey, it's not me doing the cutting. I'm the good guy. I'm trying to keep you safe. But its your choice."

It really depends on what we mean by "choice".

I pretty much lost all my friends once I had kids. I could not figure out how to balance working, being a father and having a social life. So the social life lost out. Its been 10 years and I have still not found the time to get new friends and not even sure I would know how now. Pretty much entirely related to having kids. Don't get me wrong, would not change a thing as far as my kids go and most of it is on me for not being able to figure it out but it definitely led to loneliness on my part.

A lot of it seems to be the vastly different quality of documentation and support based on programming language. Where AWS seems low level enough it doesn't matter what language you write your software in, and Azure has made "bring your software no matter what language you write it in" a very explicit message even in its high level cloud offerings, Google gives the strong impression/ego that there are "right languages" and "wrong languages" and they aren't going to support you well (or possibly at all) in the "wrong languages".

Some of that impression is leftover from the way App Engine handled things and the first impression that left, but even GCP documentation itself still seems to struggle outside of "Google approved" languages.

Disclaimer: I interviewed with GCP as a .NET developer with a lot of experience in .NET to try to improve the situation. I got a lot of nasty ego directed at me that interviewers didn't trust my technical expertise because it was in such a "gross" stack and didn't know how to interview me technically. I personally saw that as direct evidence for why I'd never use GCP.
I think I have never used grep -r. I'm sure gnu grep has some way to specify which files to search, but why would I learn that syntax as well when I already know find, and exec works (exec + is much faster, but exec ; gets you the results too if your find lacks exec +).
