That's true in almost every field. Einstein was standing on the shoulders of Mach.
I have pretty mixed feelings about FreeCAD, having used it for 100+ hours across a few different projects.

It’s wonderful to have a open-source alternative to the expensive CAD software that muscled its way into a near monopoly in academia/industry, but it suffers from some really inexcusable design problems, on a fundamental level. As it is, I don’t think it’s really usable as a serious tool for creating complex assemblies.

I’d be curious if anyone here has managed to use it effectively for a large project (something real-world, not just showcasing FreeCAD).
If you buy what I could call a standard/proper home theater receiver, it is likely to last you a lifetime. But with Sonos you are buying cutting edge features that have not been tried and tested in the long term and are likely to change.

The idea with Sonos was that they wouldn't release new hardware each year, but that the hardware would improve through software updates. For example, I have had two Play 3 speakers and the Sub since 2016. These worked great, then Sonos released TruePlay which allowed your speakers to configure themselves based on the space you were in. Its important to note that these speakers have been around since 2011 and 2013, so not a short space of time when it comes to technology.

The amazing thing with Sonos, was that anyone in the house could open up the app and play music through WiFi AND have a home theatre setup that could play from the TV. The beauty of the app is that it operates on its own, it doesn't rely on your mobile phone once you have left the house.
no GPU drivers do not support webGL natively.. Although gecko use Angle from google, 3D rendering is a multifactorial problems that can be optimized from many aspects of a web browser (display lists vs immediate rendering, various caching systems, direct compositing, a lot of low level optimizations, reducing memcpys, etc)

This...is just how in-memory data stores work, right? That's what "in-memory* means? Or am I missing something obvious?
SOL is the gas on Solana smart contracts. In a "normal" transaction on Solana, SOL goes towards paying the TX fee itself.

In the case of the Wormhole bridge, there are transactions on both the Ethereum mainnet side (paid for in Ethereum gwei) and the Solana network side (paid for in Solana gwei). The only lossy factor is in the bridging fees themself which are typically a "flat" fee.
90% sounded high; I found an article saying as of today 79% of people in France have had both of the initial shots (not sure how they figure single-dose vaccines like J&J and Oxford), and 80% had 1. [1]

Let's say it's 80%. 80/20. Primary vax status probably hasn't changed too dramatically in 1 month.

p(hospitalized | vaxxed) = p(vaxxed | hospitalized) * p(hospitalized) / p(vaxxed)

= 0.6 * p(hospitalized) / 0.80

= 0.75 * p(hospitalized)

---

p (hospitalized | unvaxxed) = p (unvaxxed | hospitalized) * p(hospitalized) / p(unvaxxed)

= 0.4 * p(hospitalized) / 0.2

= 2 * p(hospitalized)

Vaccination gives a 2.67x reduction in hospitalizations (against omicron which all the anti-vaxxers are saying the vaccines don't do anything against).

With your 90% figure, it becomes 2/3 instead of 3/4 and 4 instead of 2, which is 6x, confirming what the other replier got.

If you're a member of a group and that group pulls out a Nazi flag, do you leave the group or do you expect random passers-by to think for a moment that maybe you aren't a Nazi sympathizer?

"Oh, everyone knows ipaddr! He hangs out with a bunch of Nazis that protest to entrench "born white" as the de facto ruling class of the country, kill all the gays and trans people, and to have two separate sets of laws, one that only applies to them, and one that applies to everyone else, but he's sweet as can be!"

No one is going to waste the brain power.
Usually the county clerk will have some pointers. Always double check lot lines, plat maps, zoning, permit and ownership history yourself. Use the realtor provided information as helpful pointers to get started, not ‘the truth’. They often aren’t trying to mislead, just not questioning things they are told or that are convenient for them to believe, but there but there are also some outright frauds.

Also, pay for your own independent well inspections (it has a well right? If not, uh oh), septic inspections (the soil type is okay for a septic system the county will approve right? If not, uh oh), and walk the property a couple times at different times of the day and night.

Sometimes there is a noisy train line, or airport landing patterns change during certain times, and what was a mellow quiet plot can be noisier than LAX during Christmas.

>And we have -- we can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real world data.

I am in the process of editing a book each my kids are writing (boy! chasing authors for deadlines is a thankless task). The idea is to self-publish on Amazon later on.

This is probably the best thing I have read about all week. Fantastic.
Companies hire people from government agencies for their connections. Government jobs doesn't pay a lot. Thus there is an implicit agreement that if a government employee awards contracts to a company they will eventually be "rewarded" by being hired into a good-paying job with that company. Repeat this process a few times and employees learn the process. You scratch our back and we scratch yours.
Maybe they mixed up your username with mine? And if this is the Ted Sanders I’m thinking of, good place to mention that you did previously work at Netflix. Offering help with a hacky solution and smiley face would be consistent with the Ted I met.

You have to understand there’s very few games out that inspire anything in people now days. It’s all very uninspiring, and it’s almost better to put your hopes into an attempt at something better.

Still a thing in much of Asia, certainly Japan, Thailand - instead of "smoke anywhere so long as it is outside" it is more "smoke only in the designated place, inside or outside, not in the street". Being able to smoke at an inside restaurant table but not outside the front door out of respect for non-smoker diners very odd.

Do you remember the brief period around 2010 where people were vaping at their desks all day in normal office buildings?
Definitely!

The main reason was because we were building with the Ruby SDK and it didn't have bridging (future chat...) nor a direct E2EE solution included. In that, we had a bunch of business and product solutions we wanted to understand and Matrix was clouding our ability to do that.

Would still be very keen to see a consumer grade social network built on Matrix, though.

Chat soon!
I guess it's also the same as when some CEO of a multi-national corporation says "nobody's really tried proper communism" but I'm failing to see what the pimply faced first year uni student really yields to this argument - since both of those theoretical people definitely exist. Some people do use really bad arguments - people who bring random unrelated characteristics in to color an attack are definitely in that crowd.

Seriously though, every NA forest community I’ve seen is similarly screwed. There is a reason the firefights always get seen as heros - those communities would not exist if it wasn’t for them.

Truckers having their own trucks is history in the EU. Well almost. Nowadays the whole truck busines is in East Europe. with a wide variety of big companies.
Mostly if not all international EU transport is driven by trucks from those low wage countries Poland, Bulgaria, Romania. You see them everywhere. From Ireland to Portugal to The Netherlands etc. Most highway parking stops are filled trucks from those countries. They live in their trucks for weeks if not months. It used to be quite dirty environment on those stops. With many eating next to their trucks. It's getting better now.
> They don't get you anything but the satisfaction of getting it.

High quality music doesn't provide anything but satisfaction either to those who enjoy it, so I guess that's useless too huh?

You're just making a completely facile judgment that amounts to "things other people like are dumb and incorrect." The things you like have some greater value, the things other people like don't count.

> (because people enjoy it, does not mean it without dark pattern)

If people generally enjoy a thing for its own sake, then it's not a dark pattern. That's the whole point of what a dark pattern is; essentially tricking people into doing something that they'd otherwise rather not. If people legitimately enjoy leveling systems, if removing said systems would make the game flatly worse for them, it's not a dark pattern, no matter how much you personally don't see the point.

"It gets people to play the game more" is irrelevant by itself, since almost anything good in a game gets people to play more.
In many cases, speeding up the entire video is even better.

I've been watching a lot of educational videos and lectures on 2x or even 3x speed, thereby saving a ton of time.

Of course, when the entire video is watched at 2x speed, the pauses can comfortably be shown at 5x speed or even faster.
You’d probably just get really angry - likely well north of $1m in raw construction costs.
Yes, we should normalize not reacting violently to theft because items can be replaced by insurance.

Theft is not a problem at the volume you're suggesting it is a problem. Most people don't have most of their things stolen most of the time, and AirTags have absolutely nothing to do with addressing the threat of theft.

And yes, it absolutely has to do with your emotions; everything has to do with emotions, the entire concept of reacting unemotionally is literally not possible for a human being to successfully execute unless you have a severe mental disorder (you don't, I gather).

>Money is an abstraction for the value of productive work. We must each produce enough value that we can trade it for the things we need. It's also why univeral income will never work. If money is given to someone in exchange for nothing, it is worth nothing.

But we're literally handing money to people in exchange for nothing right now (ie. welfare), yet US dollars are worth something.
The solution to the problem is real time pricing based on the grid's requirements at any moment in time. The current model also disincentives battery installations.

If prices were adapted to grid requirements, we'd have negative energy prices during peak solar production hours so customers should be encouraged to charge their own batteries using their solar or even get paid for charging their batteries via the grid. During hours of high demand but little production, batteries should send energy to the grid.

Of course all of this requires infrastructure as well, which needs to be paid for somehow.

I'm pretty sure it does not work that way unless they sell. Rivian's IPO changed the nature of Amazon's investment so that probably triggered the reporting. Now it won't affect the bottom line unless they sell or some other major event occurs.
I think these were measured shortly after reaching full vaccination status (>=14 days after second shot). That seems to be a different thing than, say, six months after vaccination.
> Sure, but it isn't a CORE REQUIREMENT for the service to function.

Again, you don't know Maps product roadmap. Google is taking its "Next Billion Users" initiative very seriously internally. They might be looking at ways to offer navigation using only a Wifi/Bluetooth chip so they can make Android devices as cheaply as possible.

There is also the possibility that GPS may not be functional in areas Google wants to serve. The US Government blacked out GPS over multiple states during a test. China has satellites that can rip other countries satellites out of the sky. Russia intentionally crashed an old weather satellite into an Iridium satellite just as a weird flex.

> If you look carefully it is not infrequent that your brilliant idea was had by someone in 1970. In my field I found a paper from 1922 which basically revealed the key point the field is based on, but it was forgotten for nearly 100 years

This is common outside the life sciences, too, FWIW. It seems that we're doing a very poor job of organizing the existing body of research in ways that could benefit the field as a whole. Not to mention that older papers/monographs/etc. are generally not even digitized, which makes them essentially inaccessible by modern standards.
Librarians are some of the most outstanding folks we have. This is such an adorable story.
The US Interstate system is extensive, well maintained, and fast. 60-80 mph will be the average speed for a truck on these roads.

If you are a long haul trucker you spend 95 percent of your time on these roads. You want high speed stability that a longer wheel base provides and don’t care too much about tight menuevering, because you probably don’t have too much tight area navigating to do. You will drop at a large warehouse on the outskirts of a city that was built for trucks like the one you are driving and be back on the road to the next warehouse.
It's true actually, levels shows them topping out at ~400, but I personally know a few who are well above that.
Yeah, but general damage to the environment is better than destroying a specific group of people's homeland. Oil pipelines leak frequently. An oil leak in some tribal lands could poison the water and make the tribal lands unlivable for years.

Why is that less of a concern than the environment as a whole?

It's no more right to justify that than it would be to justify putting all of the country's debt on a single person or taking all of the pollution in the atmosphere but smothering individual children with it so that everyone else can breathe freely.
Ask HN: Is (Web) Cacheing Broken?
There's your own markup and how it asserts cache lifetime (or not)

There's the subtle changes made on-the-fly by smart boxes in between you and the outside world.

There's cacheing in the GCP buckets, Amazon S3 buckets.

There's cacheing in your frontend CDN.

There's DNS cacheing.

There's in-browser cacheing, differentially for page content, for crypto assets like X509 certificates, for DNS FQDN query results.

Maybe it's just me, but it "feels" like we have a cache problem at scale:

* you can't update your own cache lifetime without strong likelihood somebody else erodes it.

* you can't easily flush all these caches. Some of them are at scale held by millions of things.

* they interact!
Truck accidents where the truck plows into another vehicle are relatively rare. We know because they're recorded by the DOT, and kept as statistics. You're more likely to take them our with the trailer than driving over the front of them.

I have seen four wheelers do all sorts of stupid shit around trucks, stuff that endangers everyones lives, I want that extra little bit of hood in front of me.

I agree that going to a hybrid model is good, where its a short nose conventional cab, like the Cascadia - rather than a long hood-high hood model.
An important reason why you can't play Youtube videos through Sonos is because the music providers are linked into the app. This means that it doesn't rely on the device to play the music. It also means that when I open up the app I can play music from my housemates Apple music account, as well as my Spotify account. But I agree, they did remove the ability push music from some apps directly to the Sonos app on Android & PC.

For me I play Youtube videos by Chromecasting them to the TV, which is connected to my Sonos playbar and the rest of the ecosystem.

Reminds me of Comcast, ooh sorry, XFINITY (rebranded to try to drop their reputation as the #1 anti-consumer company) enabling public wifi on your modem / AP without your consent, then burying the opt-out.

Not on the same level, but Netflix auto-playing videos and previews is also annoying, and the option to disable it is purposely hidden on their website, not accessible through the app. Ugh.

This phenomenon of the unvaccinated being “Petri dishes” for mutations occurs in the vaccinated as well. So let’s not spread misinformation based on a complete misunderstanding on how mutations form in the body.

>out of context quote

It's not out of context, it's completely in context. Biden said you won't get COVID if you take the vaccine, full stop. There's no additional context that changes the meaning of those words.

The fact that he also made other statements about COVID doesn't render the quote out of context.
How exactly is it limited?

The author wants a speaker to pull a video off YouTube, which isn’t exactly know for be friendly to non-official clients, and play the audio. Please find me any speaker in the world that can be given a YouTube URL and will play the video audio with no other equipment involved. I’ve tried writing the URL on the speaker cone of my boring speaker, unfortunately no sound is coming out.

If the author just wanted to plug speakers into his computer and get sound, then he would have bought a non-smart speaker and amp. But clearly the author likes the ability to stream audio from the internet directly to his speakers. It’s just unfortunate that YouTube refuses to let people easily access the audio stream from their videos.

It’s like normies have discovered small radio transmitters for the very first time or something. This isn’t new tech, it’s just more accessible and the monitoring network is better. ISM 433/900mhz transmitters with small microcontrollers have been around for quite a number of years, but I guess the reduced burden from “watch a few YouTube videos and spend some time tinkering with a soldering iron and batteries” to “buy this and hide it somewhere on a car you’d like to steal” + the anonymity (even though they’re registered to an iCloud account…) and ready availability of these now is a game-changer for criminals.
