Sure, you and many people. I'm saying there's an in-between level of enthusiasm where you do want to learn new things and experiment but without getting yourself into any long-term commitments.

I'm sure you'd agree that it's also easier to scale your experiments/interest if you only do small experiments rather than go all the way in every dimension.

There were a few shots with CGI, and a lot of shots with practical effects.
Yeah. I haven't set that up yet after getting Proxmox up and running, but it's something that I should probably work on.

I've had such a good experience with this one that I keep trying to figure out if I can replace my Dell T20 minitower router running VyOS with one. The blocker is that the Dell actually has standard PCIe slots, whereas if I were to use a USFF I'd have to either go way up market to something like a Lenovo M920Q or accept USB ethernet adapters.
I'm not sure what exactly your concern is. Someone just trolling? The nice thing about this concept is that no one can waste more time then they're willing to spend themselves. But if people just want to talk to HN users, even though they don't use it themselves, I think that's fine?
Can't wait for 3D printed parts made out of this stuff.

> the new material’s elastic modulus — a measure of how much force it takes to deform a material — is between four and six times greater than that of bulletproof glass. They also found that its yield strength, or how much force it takes to break the material, is twice that of steel, even though the material has only about one-sixth the density of steel.

That's going to make for some fun prints.

Edit: density of steel is 7.85 g/cm3 and 1/6 of that is 1.3 which makes it less dense than wood! (1.5 g/cm3) It floats!

Also, the only reason that we think of recent ambitious CGI attempts as "overdoing it" is because they are by definition at the bleeding edge of our abilities now. Old practical effects and green screen work was probably "overdoing it" at the time too, because it was also at the bleeding edge of our abilities then.
I mean, maybe? But I don't really think so. Here's a list from IMDB:

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls009003184/

Let's take a look at a few of the entry's from the 1970's that actually had practical effects:

Logan's Run - Here's Logan fighting a robot: https://youtu.be/USADM5Gk9Gs?t=106
Star Wars - : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g3_CFmnU7k
Soylent Green - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z2txLk0ybo
Invasion of the Body Snatchers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc_0dlmSq7I
Alien - here's the chest buster scene - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQ7om598OM

I don't think these hold up as well as nostalgia would suggest, the exception being the alien chest buster scene, which is amazing. The others are much less ambitious and simply don't look as good as modern movies. Many of the practical effects look small or toy like. Maybe there's a sweet spot in the 90's?

Yes, each movie should aim to push the boundary out a bit. But you don't try to film Avatar in 1978 (without completely changing the scenes), because with puppets and matte paintings it'll be relatively unwatchable.

35mm film comes out to about the same sharpness as a 1.5k CG image. Even with the best lenses and scanning, 35mm scanned at any resolution still doesn't get sharper than a crisp 1.5k upscaled to be at the same resolution. Even middle of the road RED cameras have exceeded large format film in their sharpness and sensitivity.
Genuine question, what are the reasons to be a software engineer without much ML knowledge in 2022. Seems like a wake up call for developers
Thank you for explaining this, it perfectly describes the stress I’m experiencing and why.

Not quite. They once did a measurement of the effective resolution of actual analog movie theaters (sometime in the 2000’s IIRC), and the result was in the ballpark of 720p, so halfway between (anamorphic) DVD and Blu-ray.
In the United States, the common interpretation of Section 508 requires that vendors and vendors of vendors of federal government contractors adhere to WCAG 2.0. Building it from the start prevents you from having to redesign parts of your work and churn your users when you choose to pursue this market.

A minority of your users may have permanent disabilities but many have many have temporary or situational (looking at their phone in a bright coffee shop, forgot their glasses) disabilities, and building to common a11y standards allows you to use off-the-shelf tools (e.g. axe) to easily and semi-automatically help maintain that you can deliver a good experience in these circumstances.

Some surveys I've been aware of find a surprising amount (1/3 to 1/2) of users use screen magnifiers. This isn't common among developers who have 30" IPS monitors and good or well-corrected vision, but it is more common in the general population. Anecdotally, many people have awful displays too.
Awesome! Any chance for an online demo (like https://6b.eleuther.ai/)?
I was kind of sad for me, to be honest.

Between the ages of 18-26 or so I was a really big Elon Musk fan. It's hard to deny the exciting technological progress made by Tesla and SpaceX on many fronts and I hugely bought into the idea that this stemmed from him. On some level I still believe it does - he's been running both successfully for a long time so he clearly isn't utterly full of shit.

But watching the autopilot predictions become progressively sillier, over and over - watching the Thai cave diving debacle - watching his pathetic Twitter exchanges where he needlessly belittles people in childish ways when he could have just maintained his silence and ignored them - his idiotic pronouncements on the pandemic - I found along the way I lost nearly all of my respect for him. I stopped taking him seriously and came to believe most of the things he says publicly aren't worth hearing or reading about.

I still view him as a brilliant business leader, but....interestingly, he seems to also be an imbecile. And I guess that isn't really surprising, because people are rarely reducible to one thing, but it wasn't until I reached my late 20s that I started to see it more clearly.
Yup the point I'm making is its built in. no hoops no babel. I find myself gravitating towards Deno before Node because with node I know I'll have to do some hoop jumping to make it work.

Improving Powkiddy V90's Portable Experience
If an artist is clearly a master of his or her craft (e.g. Dylan, Picasso), I don't mind plagiarism so much.

However, I found this passage wrong-headed:

> “Academic plagiarism norms”, Frye writes, “are primarily an inefficient and illegitimate form of extra-legal academic rent-seeking that should be ignored.” And although he doesn’t quite call those who disagree with him “wussies and pussies”, he does disparagingly refer to the “plagiarism police”, which includes anyone who tries to identify academic plagiarism and somehow punish the plagiarist.

I completely disagree. I am a non-academic who takes published academic work seriously. My number one discovery mechanism for new knowledge is not arbitrary web searches or the even a library catalogue, but citations. A strong norm against plagiarism in academia (where everyone really is standing on the shoulders of giants) is essential for academic knowledge to be available among the public, not to be cloistered away, only available to a learned elite.

Academic research already presents so many accessibility barriers to the public (stiff & boring writing, copious jargon/symbols, excessive abstraction, lack of data for reproducibility, false published conclusions and even publisher paywalls to name a few), I'd hate to see academia create another by normalizing plagiarism.
I'm already anticipating having the job title of "Query Engineer" sometime in the next 30 years, and I do NLP including large scale language model training. :(
Keep in mind you're earning a six figure salary doing over double what is expected at a "normal" 40h/week job. If you consider it as an hourly rate, is it worth sacrificing your health over?

Ahhh, that's it! I've been wondering why I prefer it to wordle and why it's more fun to solve.
I gave up on it solely because of the GUI. It's confusing as heck and very far from Apple's Home app, which is the preferred UX of the CFO (Chief Family Officer), even for fairly complex automations.

So I just used homebridge for everything, with a smattering of Node-RED for (very few) device shims (it is _very_ easy to do MQTT handling with it).

Also, I now have zero YAML to maintain, which is also a boon.

Kudos, though, for Home Assistant auto-discovery, which I use with my Tasmota-reflashed devices (there is a homebridge plugin that transparently adds them to HomeKit as soon as they're set up).
Handling a Hybrid War in Ukraine
Well i 'll try using this bookmarklet:

javascript:void(document.body.innerHTML+='<style>*{font-family:Garamond,serif!important;}</style>');

Let's see if it makes me believe your comments
Zsh (and possibly other shells?) will expand a raw ^ into filenames. '' is a little shorter than '^' if you have to quote it.
I’ve used Home Assistant on a Pi 3B+ for about a year now. My main objective is like yours, I want as few devices as possible connected to the internet and generally only buy devices that have a local API (local polling in HA terms). I do pay for Nabu Casa, HA’s cloud service for convenient access to everything but nothing I use requires it. This also help support a project that I really enjoy using and rely on.

I have most devices connected to an old wireless router that is completely disconnected from the internet. The raspberry pi is connected to my main network through ethernet and is connected to my “smart network” over wifi. I like to think of the HA instance as a two way mirror since it can reach the internet and see the devices but the devices themselves can’t phone home or access the internet in anyway.

For bulbs, light switches, and smart plugs I generally stick with TP-Link Kasa. The local API works great with HA though I believe they are removing this in future firmware updates [0]. This appears to be for the UK only but I’m not 100% sure on that. I purchased a plug a few months ago that still works.

My thermostat is a Venstar color touch with the local API. I have it connected to the internet but I could disconnect it and everything would still work how I want.

You can flash Wyze v2 cameras with the official RTSP firmware to view them locally. You lose some of the features of the Wyze cams but I think this is a fine trade off. While this works with the Pi, streaming video taxes it a lot. It isn’t a perfect experience by any means.

I also use Zigbee devices instead of Z-Wave (no real reason other than the first device I wanted was Zigbee). I have a Sonoff Zigbee bridge flashed with Tasmota that allows me to use any compliant (or quasi compliant in the case of Xiaomi Aqara) plug, motion sensor, temp sensor, etc across brands. The Zigbee bridge is also has access to the internet because it needs to connect to an NTP server. This means that these devices work fine when the internet goes out but if for some reason the hub gets power cycled while having an internet outage they stop working.

You can get Zigbee antennas that connect directly to the Pi but I avoided this because the USB ports can cause interference. You can fix this by getting a USB cable extender.

Feel free to ask any other questions about my setup.

Doing that is one thing, and certainly won't increase your personal safety. Doing that and telling the western press to embarrass them is insanely stupid.

> bringing up individual rights in every discussion of Singapore strikes me as a very privileged take. As someone from Bangladesh, I wish Americans and others in the international community would focus more on understanding how Singapore turned itself from a poor third world country into an affluent one in a single generation.

I sort of agree, but both should occur. Letting transgressions slide because economic progress is made should not occur. Letting the bad happen and excusing it as ‘growing pain’, ‘we are bringing them to the table’ etc has all occurred in the past. The next thing you know, they are big and powerful and don’t want to change.

It doesn’t take much reading about Singapore to be fairly alarmed at the state of human rights and government control. They are listening, recording and require you to register for things like public speaking. This is apart from issues like gay rights, workers rights, flogging of criminals and executions.
Government opposition parties are under active surveillance and quickly sanctioned should they push too far. I’m surprised anyone argues for it, however those I know from Singapore strongly defend it.

> and I expect will eventually crumble into unreadable tech debt

Or crumble when tsc tries to follow them ;)

I’ve sometimes found, perhaps for the better, that when I get too creative with types the typescript compiler will at some point just not be able to follow what I’m trying to tell it any more. Even though my types are correct, theoretically, it will just sort of tip over. That usually serves as a good sign that I shouldn’t be trying to do what I’m doing at all.
> But I'm skeptical if it'll ever be able to synthesize a program entirely.

Emotional skepticism carries a lot more weight in worlds where AI isn't constantly doing things that are meant to be infeasible, like coming 54th percentile in a competitive programming competition.

People need to remember that AlexNet is 10 years old. At no point in this span have neural networks stopped solving things they weren't meant to be able to solve.
Yep. Basically any time you think "it must have been difficult or expensive to shoot in that location," you're probably right, and it's probably CG. And I'm not just talking about obvious examples like "abandoned Times Square." I mean pretty much any public area (especially a popular recognizable public area) where it would be logistically tricky to shoot.
It seems like this is a special case of project management software. If the existing products can't handle incidents then that software should be improved, not new software written. It's the best way to ensure that everybody on the team knows how to use the software when it's most urgently needed.

E.g. would you change your favorite editor to a different one, in case of an incident? Probably not. So why change project management systems?
The biggest thing with settings pages is stop redesigning them. If I've figured it out once I don't want to have to again!
Django developer here. I have limited experience with WP but used Drupal back in the day, and from everything I've heard WP is the same with respect to what I'm going to say.

You can touch your nose two ways right? You can just reach up, or you can contort your arm and reach around your head. Working with Drupal very much felt like the latter.

I had to jump through so many hoops to do everything. Just one example: If I wanted to turn off a Preview button in one part of the site, the code in that view had to check what application was running, or ALL the preview buttons in the whole site would disappear (i.e. there was no app scope). Drupal databases were hairy balls of complication, but that's the case with every system I've looked at that has to support "every" use-case.

With Django you just build what you need and you're done. It's very straightforward. Your code and your data model can stay really simple. I built out whole sites really fast with it, even when I was a relatively inexperienced developer.

It's not about the size of the ecosystem, because with a tool like Django it's really simple to just build what you need yourself.

That said, this model works best if you have access to at least one developer. If you're not willing to cough up for that, you're at the mercy of things like WordPress.

I want to use a Pi4 8GB as an arm64 build host so I'm going the USB SSD route there. But adding on additional hardware ultimately seems like the "stone soup" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup) version of setting up a server.

Furthermore I'm hesitant to rely too much on the arm ecosystem in general. If one pops a drive with a Linux installation into any amd64 machine, it straightforwardly boots. Whereas just making an arm device boot can be its own tinkering session of figuring out its own bespoke partitioning scheme, firmware files, and U-boot image. Many times you're stuck using a non-mainline kernel since that's what the embedded developers hacked on to get something running. Devicetree compiler what? And sure, using a purpose-built distro can hide much of the complexity, until that distro decides your device is too old and drops support.

Heck, I've even moved my wifi AP's over to low power amd64 machines instead of the popular answer of OpenWRT/DD-WRT. When I want to upgrade to a new wifi standard, I'll just pop in a new wireless card. The same machines also run Kodi for the TVs (which used to be separate RPis).
I'm not sure what you mean by a tiny portion of that, virtually the entire budget of a movie goes to paying the people who make it.
Because it is the point. This whole thing is about controlling the narrative and censorship. Whether you agree with what the people are saying or not, if you think they shouldn't have a forum to say it that's censorship.

The institutions that previously had more control over the narrative and are losing the control have the most to lose.
Yes, for very precise, comprehensive text descriptions of problems.

It will take a far-far more advanced AI to write such descriptions for real-world problems.

Writing requirements for a project is difficult work, and not for technical reasons, but for human reasons (people don't know what they want exactly, people have trouble imagining things they haven't seen yet, people are irrational, people might want something that is different from what they need, etc.)

In this regard, we are safe for a few more decades at least.

I understand that you don't intend to open source your work, but thanks for the writeup. I like the idea of going over rows and columns, I'll probably shamelessly copy that (my current version uses a tree for display, much like Reddit or Hacker news comments, but that becomes difficult to parse after some time.

Write It in Doves Type, imo – https://typespec.co.uk/doves-type/
Lighting in general seems to be underappreciated, even without CGI.

I'm reminded of Fifty Shades Freed, which starts with a wedding scene that's lit with green. Green lighting is basically nonexistent in nature, so when you see it, it's not an accident - someone had to mess with it, and it's usually to indicate something is wrong/unnatural. You can really see the care put into films like The Matrix with how they use green lighting, which is in stark contrast with films like Fifty Shades Freed which use it mindlessly.

But when the author says

> Every movie now takes place as if it were in The Matrix, appearing in deep greens or blues or in gray shades, like the complex colors of the world have been bleached out.

I don't think he really gets it. Sure, unnecessary color grading is easier than ever to accomplish, but intentional use of lighting to help tell the story is probably going over his head.
I'm fine doing away with Uber's self-driving as well. Although I think Tesla's is the worst of the lot, I'm not confident in or thrilled by any self-driving tech on public roads in the next decade
