I have a Mazda, and it also parses ogg metadata strangely; if you have multiple fields starting with "ARTIST" then it will fill the artist field with all of them, but without erasing the buffer first.

As a counterpoint I'm a libertarian and very anti centralization. I see libertarians arguing for bitcoin alone the same lines as you. A decentralized medium of exchange might be nice, but as it is, cryptocurrency fails to address any of the concerns with fiat, and most importantly is a scam who's value is entirely based on speculation / greater fool, and not on it's utility as a medium of exchange. From what I've seen, it's on that basis that HN generally doesn't like it, not based on some deference to authority, which I agree is present in many discussions
This. It's harder than you may think to leave zero cloud trail of your activity and storage.
All that may be true.

But we don't pay people based on how much they make for the company. We pay them based on supply and demand.

And I believe the pool of people that can do the job of the big company CEO is way larger than the $100m plus pay packages would indicate.

Companies go with the high dollar rockstar CEOs for the same reason they select IBM or Oracle and pay up the nose for substandard results.

Fake news. Macron says now that he was referring to the current status of Sweden and Finland as "neutral" countries. And he never used the F-word, which concerned parties regard derogatory.
It wasn’t free and limitless, but it wasn’t scarce either—you probably had 100–1000× more disk space than RAM, which is close enough to unlimited for most text purposes. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_hard_disk_drives suggests 1GB was typical in the mid-1990s.)

Consider also that at this very time we’re talking of (early 1990s) the industry was shifting away from largely 8-bit code pages to 16-bit UCS-2, which is an even more extreme cost when compared to UTF-8, doubling space requirements for most people, rather than merely the 50% increase yongjik speaks of for certain languages. Yet this change was being done (more’s the pity).

Concerning the scarcity of bytes, yongjik’s point would certainly be valid if it referred to the 1970s, was probably valid of the 1980s, but is not valid of the 1990s. (But the point about keeping the full document in RAM is an unrealistic strawman.)

Sorry, I must ask. shell?
I couldn't stand the Cal Worthington commercials, but I'll remember them fondly because a sweet, elderly neighbor with dementia misunderstood the repeated phrase at the end of the song, and would loudly sing along with some rather improper words that were VERY funny to a kid.

In addition to our friends in the diamond business, we also had Jack Roberts Appliance who was less offensive than the others.
Oh sure, that instant effect is more important for transactions where you don't feel like waiting for it clearing before getting the "reward". Say, being able to buy at an online shop before noon to get it shipped the same day, without any credit history or such required.
Well said. There is a big difference between reductionist arguments that everything could be a scam, and enterprises that contribute nothing but the potential to enrich the first people in.

The big difference is that marketing firearms are still safe, or as safe as firearms tend to get. It's a fully functional firearm; they want feedback on whether the ergonomics are good, whether the weight is good, how it handles recoil, etc.

It would be more akin to handing out prototype weapons to police departments, which doesn't happen specifically because they might fire themselves or blow up or fail in some annoying but not spectacular way like failing to feed new rounds.

A poem, by the Washington Post and Emacs auto-fill-mode:

Russian warships sailed toward
the Black Sea on Tuesday,
stoking alarm among U.S. and
European security officials
who warned that the final
capabilities for a large-scale
assault on Ukraine appeared to
be falling into place.

On a day of frantic shuttle
diplomacy by French President
Emmanuel Macron, who hopped
among capitals trying to avert
a conflict, Russian officials
gave little sign that the
French leader’s initiatives
had changed their
calculations.

Telegram makes it insanely easy to have a non-encrypted message, so the NSA definitely wants terrorists to use that. It also has central mass data collection. Of course the NSA wants people to use Telegram.

This is a bad critique for two reasons:

1. Linking the name of a company to people and places that don't exist doesn't demonstrate anything.

2. You don't even know enough to know that the Palantiri were originally created and used by the elves, not Sauron.
Getting tired of people calling things "useless". Clearly I have a usecase for fixed width text encodings.

Source code manipulation is frequently Unicode aware but doesn't care about combinations or things outside of a strict subset of Unicode to modify lexing control flow.

Being able to store (and later refer to) character offsets in the source code is a plus because they'll only ever occur in places where the strict subset is enforced.

This is especially true of languages with line-only comments, etc, where different writing systems being used won't affect the error message information.

Like I said, there are a few useful cases where having a fixed width encoding is beneficial. It's less helpful to the discussion to assert you know better for every case, ever.

Correction: I should have said that the Kelly criterion and DP-based approaches diverge when there is a maximum amount of wealth that can be attained (e.g., $250 in TFA), not in scenarios where there are a fixed number of betting rounds remaining.
The heuristics are actually ok. The only thing is missed is not accounting for adverse events.

Risk = Odd x Impact

In the examples, the odd is very low but the impacts could be fatal. That’s where is NOT OK to ignore.
But if the risk is low, you can follow whatever your momentum approach is.
Not only is not the greatest, it's literally the worst database technology that's in use for the things PgCat is trying to solve. And that's not a knock on PgCat all (or on Postgres!), it's a knock on the "golden hammer" type worship of Postgres that's been the zeitgiest for the past few years.

The state of the art for sharding, connection scaling, and failover for Postgres is far behind everything else. MySql has Orchestrator and Vitess, the NewSQL systems are doing lots of interesting stuff with replication and sharding, etc. etc.

edit: Look at the work that Notion had to as of just 3 months ago to shard Postges: https://www.notion.so/blog/sharding-postgres-at-notion. Maybe they would make the same choice over again, and that's fine, but doing stone age level work to shard a database in 2021 doesn't jive with the whole "just use Postgres" idea to me.
It really is awful, and it seems like most people just don't care, or don't even know that they could care. Perceived latency was a bit motivation for me to ditch macOS last year and go back to Linux. I haven't got benchmarks to prove how it felt to me, but it felt like everything has become spongy and asynchronous. Even with a decked out iMac and fast SSD, it feel like applications don't launch immediately. There's enough lag time that I sit for a second thinking 'did I double click or not? Did it launch and then crash? Oh, here it comes'. Keyboard input feels laggy.

I hate that more and more things are becoming software controlled. "What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away" is not a law that I want to apply to machines that can and should continue to function instantaneously.
First of all, the last straw that breaks the camel's back. These flights are additional and more are coming.

One thing that's clear is that there are some underlying traits that manifest in many different domains, such as language skills. A friend I knew was extremely good at languages (fluent in 10+), and also excelling at math and programming. Traditionally, these fields are considered different but they are more similar than we give them credit for. All are heavily symbolic, relational and contextual domains.

To complicate things more, you can become great at math and programming by having e.g. a visually oriented mind. My friend didn't seem to have much of that though, which suggests you can excel in a domain using different underlying skills or traits. Totally armchairing of course.

The in-spirit premise of the proposal (fundamental traits are mostly roll-of-the-dice) is still compatible with your response.

Like the author, I've been burnt by assuming that traits overlap way more than the opposite - eg if someone is good at X intellectual thing they're good at Y too. So many times I've gone "how can such a smart person not get this simple thing?".
I mean, the quotation includes a list of things he desires.
This reminds me of some of the studies illustrated in The Undoing Project (story of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, leading behavior psychologists) where it showed that incredibly simplistic algorithms could be doctors in predicting whether a tumor was cancerous or benign.

They asked the doctors what factors to look for, the doctors could accurately describe what to look for. They then created a program that did exactly those things and pitted it against the doctors expecting it to perform poorly and needing iteration -- but it beat the very doctors that described the process. It beat most doctors that describe the process.

Leaving out the pretty extreme lack of morality going on here, one reason that may resonate in this community of rich programmers and capitalists is that we shouldn't do it because fraud is inefficient. It is a huge drain on your economy. It is not a good use of capital or time. If for instance it is all a scam and everything collapses to nothing, that's ten years of completely wasted human effort. If you built it and profited from it, you are to blame.
> In Pittsburgh

i've never been, but that might be part of why.
the solution to author's condundrum is twofold:

"soldiers who are resistant to a military order fall into one of four categories recently described by Eric Hundman: grudging obedience, refinement, exiting service, and defiance."

But I'd say not masking is more "grudging obedience" not "defiance". It's minor, and easily correctable if challenged. They start court-martialing for a single mask violation, then it starts to look like defiance. But if the structure from top to bottom "accepts" that non-masking is context-sensitively and accepted (sometimes), not adhering to the "letter of the law" is just skating by or cheesing-it. Not open defiance. Yeah, that sounds a LOT like the real military.

To me this means the issue there is the chain of command. Look, it's either a serious issue or it isn't. If you send mixed signals, then what do you expect?

The second thing is that, in the real world, orders can't be "stupid". If your orders are to run into a machine gun nest and certainly die but as a hero for the greater, etc. even that can work. See that ain't stupid - that just sucks for you.

But if it's stupid you are saying - do this for no reason because bureaucratic stupid, stupid. And you are going to get at best grudging acceptance. I'm not saying it's actually stupid. I'm saying the behavior of all ranks indicates they "think" and act as if it was thought "stupid". I mean, when you are young and healthy and a war-fighter - do you really think that "useless" masking to avoid a "minor flu-like" virus might not just seem "stupid".

To be clear, I'm not saying it is stupid or is just the flu or whatever. But it's clear to me that a bunch of military and first-responders that have a very different risk posture might very well be just thinking along those lines and they act as such. They aren't acting stupidly or randomly. There's a reason that there is such blowback.
I left a startup after 3 months because I felt it was scamming people. But it wasn't even crypto. It was a marketing automation tool and most of the clients were gambling and forex trading apps. The tactics they used were extremely shady and I just got to watch the logs and see the insane amounts of money people would lose with the 'help' of our product.

I took my first offer out of there and it was the best decision I could make. It's always better to work on something that aligns with your beliefs and goals as a developer.

Coincidentally I don't think crypto is a scam. Crypto tech has pretty much been proven to work by now. The speculative products built on crypto could be a scam. But that's not all that different from speculative products overall.
For some reason I never minded Jack Roberts. I can't explain it.

But I dearly loved the old Ivar's commercials. That man knew how to advertise. I'd always go out of my way to eat at Ivar's just because. He was always "fresh" :-)

Rainier Beer also knew how to do ads right. I always picked Rainier because of their amusing commercials.
You're right that stuff is quite difficult. I write a Firefox addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wingman-jr-fi..., https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/wingman_jr) and train an associated NSFW model (https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/model) - I've been at it for a few years now, and have had to plug many specific edge cases.

- Babies (https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/wingman_jr/issues/22)
- Beach volleyball (but this definitely has SFW and NSFW variants, based on a somewhat subjective line)
- Athletes in general. The model particularly thought some American football players were NSFW for a long time.
- Swimming
- Yoga - again, most SFW and some NSFW here but it still struggles
- Wrestling was a tough one for sure
- Pokemon

While indeed tough, I've seen definite progress. So it's not just a matter of tech, but also of considering the human element - the state of the art may not be up to the challenge of perfection, but it is definitely up to a point of true utility for some use cases. I'm happy about that.

As a note, it uses an EfficientNet Lite L0 backbone - I'm a bit limited in what type of scanning I can perform in a sufficiently speedy manner.

I also agree on the context for sure - one reason I haven't tried switching to an object detection method (and that I don't rely heavily on truly random crops) is that the focus of the image is highly important for the NSFW-ness in some cases. True, two images may contain the same content ... but one is far worse than the other. The nature of CNN's still has some of this location-invariance baked in, but I don't want to exacerbate it.

One challenge I think the OP may run into here that may also not be immediately obvious is that accuracy on image stills does not translate that well to video. I have basic video support in my addon, and while I knew there would be some differences, I was surprised at how many discrepancies there really are. As two examples:

- Images in video are often blurrier. In true still images, there is a somewhat higher prior involved with amateur NSFW content and blurriness. This can be a source of false positives.
- The opposite of the note above about focus. Taking stills of moving images will have many transitory frames that seem inappropriate on their own because it seems as if they are focusing on something when in reality the camera is just panning - obvious to the human, less so to the model trained on stills.

At any rate, given how well your list of edge cases coincided with failures I've grappled with, I'd be interested to see how well you think my addon stacks up for still images when set to stay in "normal" mode. I'd love to hear any feedback you have via GitHub so I can make it better.
If they change

print(repr('some string'))

to print

"some string"

instead of

'some string'

then that would remove the only hangup about Black that I have.
So the profits are greater and the costs are marginally cheaper?
I'm listed as a founder of crypto startup and I think it's a scam.

I got there by accident. I thought it's a scam before but now I'm more convinced. My best friend works for a company that is literally a scam (founder arrested etc). They changed owners but he wants to cash in on that. Another colleague actually bought into the whole nonsense and started something. Then we all got roped in. I want out but I'm torn because that colleague has been very loyal to me when I needed him and I don't want to be disloyal.

Fortunately, it seems he is getting disillusioned too so we might leave that nonsense behind. Technically I don't do any work there. It's just my name/face as I'm reasonably known in IT and have some clout.

ISRU (what you're describing) does require a large amount of energy to do at scale. Also, ISRU has never been at the scale required to fully fuel a rocket.

There is a decent writeup on wikipedia[1] on how difficult this would actually be to do ISRU on mars. The TL;DNR is 56,200 meters squared of thin film solar panels. Granted, solar power is roughly half as effective on mars as it is on earth, but still. For reference, an American Football field is 7,140 meters squared.

Another reason you would want a service in front is for schema management. I suppose it depends on the use case at hand.

Also, 20 connections per service process seems pretty high. Unless there are many long running queries and clients are willing to wait long times for responses.
