Back in the brick and mortar days, you could at least go look at the thing. Not that there weren't lemons, but the sort of extreme low quality alibaba crap that you find everywhere nowdays wouldn't sell at all because it feels so obviously low quality. Even having it on the shelves would stain the reputation of the store.

It's fascinating to me that a movie production with a budget of 10^8 dollars can't slice off a tiny bit of that for the people that literally make the movie.
Agreed. This is the movie equivalent of fixing bad UI/UX with "we'll figure out the messaging later".
The goal of the laser is to destroy the electronic detonator inside the warhead. If the detonator is destroyed then the potential damage from the missile is reduced from catastrophic to manageable. With a 100 kW laser I think the whole process could happen in less than a second.

I can't wait for native support for SOAP. It would be great to have a competitor to SOAPUI.
The whole approach is “concerning.” The agency is still collecting everyone’s communications and then it’s supposed to be enforcing rules about queries run after the collection. The statute[1] requires that only foreign persons are “targeted”. Until this basic problem (untargeted initial collection) is fixed the whole program is still illegal.

I get that the idea of being able to search communications for a person of interest after the fact is a powerful investigative tool, but the 4th Amendment and the FISA statute are supposed to limit the communications that the government can intercept in the first place, not just to limit what they do with their bulk collection.

It looks to me like they're turned into the appropriate Rust intrinsic.

Do you have an example where the read vanishes?

Notice that it's very easy for C programmers to write code they think is performing a volatile read, but isn't, whereas obviously the intrinsics reduce the scope for this error in the Rust (it is also, though that's not relevant here, easy to write C code that depends on imaginary semantics of volatile access and so the code doesn't actually always work, or it works but not for the reason the programmer expected)
Setting up an email server once sounds awesome. Coding an email server system from scratch also sounds awesome. But running an email server indefinitely doesn't sound super fun.

That example of practical effects looked quite stiff and fake like you said. But practical effects also continued to improve over the years even though CGI came to dominate the film industry.

Alien was released in 1979, but a few years later saw the release of An American Werewolf in London (1981) which featured a memorable werewolf transformation (all practictal effects). Then in 1982 saw the release of The Thing which took practical effects a notch higher.

Also, today filmmakers sometimes use a hybrid approach: combining practical and digital effects.

I do wonder how much further practical effects would have developed if CGI haven't overtook the film industry.
Pick the top sci-fi movie rating-wise from every year, going back 50 years. Then rank them.

They opensourced alphafold for anyone to use commercially despite big financial incentive to keep it private and use in their new drug discovery lab. No idea how this works or differs from alphafold but imagine they'll do the same here if possible
Those same studies about it then go on to find being in a relationship and having a family are some of the most effective ways to fight loneliness. SO it is kind of weird to include "lonely" in the call to action.
I don't believe there are not artists today who could animate deer antlers or paint beautiful backgrounds. Disney did not want to pay for them or wait for the time it would take to animate a film by hand.
Its all very well downvoting me, but say why not take the time to say what is objectionable?

Even if you don't like my assertions, I'm providing sources for them!

I have to say downvoting without engaging with what info is provided is one of the worst elements of this site. Surely downvoting should be used sparingly. It shouldn't be that just because you are a power user (with 500+ upvotes) who feels discomfort with whatever is being raised, right? Perhaps its hard to justify working at a big tech company, but downvoting would be a rather self-serving ideology, don't you think?
No it is not the same failure mode. One is unencrypted, unauthenticated, can be intercepted, spoofed, stolen, or shut off at whim. The other is a piece of paper.

This isn't hard.
Bernie's support of Clinton is something that a non-trivial number of his supporters did not agree with him on, I include myself in that number. Regardless, droves of Bernie supporters showed up at the polls to vote for Clinton, at a rate greater than prior Obama voters.

Snopes isn't a news site, they are fact-checking site... which means their politicization should be less, and their need for full fair context should be greater, as compared to the likes of CNN.

You're effectively arguing that stripping context, denying readers salient details to the story, is magically making it more more factual.

Regardless of where my passion might be on this matter, I'm not wrong that cherry-picked framing and the removal of context gives the reader a significantly less accurate view.
The "hosing the hedge funds" thing around GME was a big scam, and it seems that people are still falling for it. The GME pump and dump had no effect on the Wall Street establishment, and it's not even clear that any short sellers got squeezed. The pump started on r/wallstreetbets, following their normal modus operandi of sparking upward momentum in stocks by coordinated options purchases. The faux-populist narrative developed as a way to pull in first mainstream Redditors and then lazy journalists. At the height of the frenzy, average people were surrounded by messaging from most media outlets that buying highly leveraged GME options was righteous and would make you rich, and anyone questioning this narrative was derided as a "corporate shill".

By contrast, NFTs are refreshingly honest, even if their long term value is questionable. An NFT is the direct digital equivalent of a numbered print of an artwork, signed by the artist. There is no pretension of political righteousness, and mainstream media is inundated with messaging that they are a scam. Everyone involved knows exactly what they are getting, and has been endlessly warned of every possible downside.
Alien's horror genre gets away with not actually showing that much in order to build suspense. Few genres are afforded that luxury, particularly not super hero movies. I don't see many people citing Superman 2 as the kinds of effects we should go back to.
>This will lower the entry barrier to developing software so more people will go into the field.

Indeed. The ideal future of programming is something out of star trek. I often noticed how everyone on the ship is a programmer of a sort, they whip up a simulation as the problem warrants regardless of their field. But in this future, the job of programmer basically doesn't exist. As a programmer, I should be allowed to have mixed feelings about that.

> Lisp has a lot more "shoot your team in the foot" possibilities than C, and you absolutely need to learn to avoid those patterns or formally communicate your use of them in order to make Lisp effective on a software engineering team.

I love Lisp for its adventurous and fun nature, but the above statement is a huge negative for real engineering work on a team. Any time you can rely on your tools or language prevent these types of issues, that's a win. This became especially evident to me when my team started using Rust. Code reviews are now almost purely about logic and design.
Ulysses gives slowly, then greatly. It rewards return. But it is very hard at first and I know few people who've gotten through it just on their own. I didn't.

My route:
1) I read it out loud with someone I loved at a beautiful moment in my life. I don't know how anyone could simply replicate this, but you should try.
2) Years later, I got the audiobook and listened to it on repeat for awhile, until I started to really know and feel the text.
3) I just keep it around, occasionally reading a chapter, and now the experience is about as extraordinary as one can get from reading a book.
Indeed. An easy fix would be to compare, say, the year's biggest crossing action movies from 1980-1990 and 2010-2020 or similar.
Great question. Worked hard to convince a couple of higher profile parenting professional to join as advisors. No cash but a tiny share of equity. Then used that and the early traction that I could demonstrate on the Instagram account and our MVP to approach other parenting professionals and it snowballed from here. But it took in between 2 to 6 months per professional (we ended up with 16 professional partners - unpaid for now until the app gains traction) so I'd say that you need to be very organized and approach many people in parallel. If you email me, I can share more details.
I love this paragraph:

> The event promised to bring together the best of eastern culture (it took place among ancient carvings at the world heritage site of Al-’Ula on a historic trade route) with the best of western culture (it featured a performance from the dance duo Chainsmokers).

Hey Chris. Great demo. It got me interested enough in Elixir to order a book. Does LiveView work well bi-directionally? For example, is there a demo of implementing Google Docs in it? Curious about the whole class of issues there vs. broadcasting changes from a single publisher -> many consumers.
Of course I have no way to know who really is an HN user. But why would anyone who isn't use an app that's marketed as voicechat with random HN users?

Alien is my favorite movie of all time. I'm still made about Prometheus. Mostly for the plot, but the CGI is painful as well.
Well and bring up Lord of the Rings and you have to reckon with the beloved and acclaimed motion capture performance of Gollum by Andy Serkis.

Obviously the earlier Lord of the Rings movies did have lots of practical effects and models, but also major use of CGI. It's not exactly a slam dunk for anti-CGI, as an example.

The main problem with bad CGI is that it's bad, not that it's CGI.
It’s a fair comparison. If San Francisco had been an impoverished third world place back in the 1950s (as Singapore was), would its open and liberal culture have been conductive to it become a wealthy city by today?

I really wish this was more broad than just farmers. Everyone who owns equipment should have the ability to at least try to repair it. This quote doesn't strike me as very encouraging:

> Tester said: “I think when you get into other areas like cellphones and TVs and all that kind of stuff, it brings in all sorts of other issues that I am personally not as familiar with as agriculture. That’s not to say that those other issues aren’t really, really important. What it is to say is that I know this issue reasonably well, and I thought this is an issue that we need to deal with, and the sooner the better.”

Of course you don't understand all possible economic sectors and the issues they face. You're a Senator. You can't be expected to have personal expertise on everything. But it's your job to represent everybody anyway, not just the people working in whatever sector you used to work in before you became a Senator. This is why you have a staff. If you don't understand broader technology, hire people who do.
> Humans don’t really use stereopsis beyond the reach of their arms

This is outright false. A person with acute vision can perceive stereopsis out to 1/4 mile. Trivially, 3D movies are projected onto screens which are 10m away.

We don't drive using pictures.
Americans think they can ignore the GDPR because it doesn't apply to them.
Guess again.
Moreover, other countries outside the EU are modeling their own, new legislation on the GDPR.
Eventually, the US private sector will be forced to implement the GDPR for convenience' sake. The only issue will be the finding that because of built-in,NSA/FBI backdoors, data sent to the US cannot be secured under any circumstances.

It's also significantly easier (and cheaper) to make films these days.
And I often think that good old centralized nations were a mostly agreed upon set of constraints, and whoever managed to get access to its top and produce things (books, movies, else) would be granted a fair amount of value, naturally because it required stamina and grit to keep churning across layers and be recognized as worthy. The problem with that system is that you can get gatekeeped at the bottom by lack of luck or perverse agents but it granted some kind of filter.
From an American perspective they certainly are, but I realize we're the odd ones out here with extremely strong 1st amendment protections.
I looked again, and there aren’t any quotes from Arafat?

None of the states that Israel share a border with are theocratic enthostates. Iran? Yes. Lebanon? No.

Again you are playing on the “Arabs are barbarous therefore Israel is good” trope. I am far more bothered by the US alliance with Saudi Arabia, but that doesn’t make Israel’s action just simply because of the comparison.

Further, at no point have I been proscriptive about what Israel must do here. Due to the century and a half of conflict now, things have gotten extremely difficult and tangled. I do, however, object to what multiple independent western human rights organizations have characterized as apartheid, though.

I would like to see a path towards a solution with one democratic state wherein all of the people inhabiting Israel as well as the occupied territories have full citizenship, and the Jewish population can live in peace and security. I do not see any straight path there, though.
I don’t see the point of journalism, so maybe nobody is to blame.

> So, I think this issue would be solved if the majority of cyclists followed the rules of the road like the majority of drivers do. Until then, people like me are going to keep complaining

Again there are lies. Majority of cyclists do follow the rules, no worse than drivers do. You're just blind on one eye. If you're not a cyclist, you're for instance probably ignoring the tens of cars illegally parked on bike lanes we see every trip.

And majority of issues where cyclists break the law would be solved if cyclists got proper infrastructure. If you want to make your city safer, vote for that, instead of letting your hate for cyclists blind you.
>But saving money isn't the main reason we don't have practical effects. Saving time is the main reason we don't have practical effects.

And not just time in general. The CGI could take more time to produce than the practical effects, but it's in post. The practical effects have to be ready for the shot.
This only for TV though, right? Film was high resolution from the beginning.
> The Barbican estates in London on a clear summer day, to take in the hanging gardens and constructed river, and not be awed

I've seen this take too many times. CGI can have the same level of artisanship as practical effects, you just need to put in the work. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a great example: Weta Digital was part of the entire filmmaking process, worked extremely closely with the art department, and was part of the same entity that made most of the props and practical effects. The digital effects in the trilogy hold up, even the ones that look a little janky today, not because of some amazing rendering software, but because they were integrated into the vision of the films from day 1.

I think this can be observed to a lesser extent on many more recent movies with strong vision behind them. For example, Sony's Amazing Spider-Man movies had generally generic CGI, but the Spiderman model and sequences were phenomenal. The studio and effects shops had a really strong idea about how Spidey should feel and move, and that drove his visualization.

tl;dr it's not the effects, it's the creative bankruptcy.

I think it depends on how you interpret lonely. I've always had a great support system in family and friends so I haven't been physically lonely. But feeling a sense of failure or that I'm dealing with a specific issue that no one around me understands does make me feel lonely or isolated. From other comments in the thread I got the impression that OP has done a lot of research that led them to use "lonely" as one of the main emotions worth mentioning in their pitch.
Python did a good job offsetting speed issues by rewriting key parts of libraries in C (or maybe C++/fortran in some spots). I don't know if the same effort ever went into key Ruby libraries.

I don't think that's a fair example, because the issue is not about inaccurate data (the view count), but illegally gathered data.

An analog example would be stealing paint and painting your car with it. Should the paint be stripped off the car and given back? I don't know, but the victims are entitled to compensation, which isn't happening in the Google/Amazon case.

For what it's worth frenck does not represent Home Assistant and the first sentence of his profile is "Slightly assholic at first sight"...

That said you have a point but in my usage of Home Assistant almost since birth when it was a single pip install command I can tell you the sheer functionality, integrations, etc make getting it fully running a nightmare. Not to mention from their perspective actually supporting it almost impossible. Maybe this speaks to a wider problem but I'm very happy to install it with docker on the distro and hardware of my choice and have everything more-or-less just work.

I referenced the operating system approach here because it's the quickest and easiest path to get up and running on a Raspberry Pi and therefore relevant to the article.
This is nuts. I rented a Model 3 several years ago and had to stop using autopilot because the phantom breaking, which is really phantom _panic_ breaking, was so dangerous and terrifying. How has this not been solved? I've used lane keeping in many other cars since then and never once had an incorrect breaking event.
While I think the article is something to consider -- this could be because I'm reading David Mamet stuff just because -- I think a lot of this falls away if you have a good story which perhaps matter more than whatever CGI or not you're using.

E.g. I personally find myself dissatisfied with a lot of Marvel, probably because most of the movies are "cocky guy gets taken down a peg by someone who's kind of in the family and kind of not, but definitely wins in the end anyway."
