>Maybe the top companies can do this because people like saying "I work for ___", but I would never consider working in an office again.

That, though, is for as long as market conditions give the choice (or perpetually, if you have money in the bank).

Otherwise, all it takes it a downturn of the economy making the IT job market much worse, and devs wont have much choice anymore if they want to work.
about the same but soon chrome is going to be handicapping adblocking and ublock origin dev said he'd probably have to back away from it since they are crippling the interface he used primarily (basically taking it away in the name of "security").
I’ve been using this for years for the 5e game I run. It’s surreal seeing it here but it’s a great tool
Why not just copy all the data while at her house? Seems like moving the machine was an unnecessary risk. Bring over a box with some large drives and just let it run overnight?
This idea that there's a crime wave seems to be pushed here and on reddit by month old accounts with no real proof. The reality is that crime is down in most places.

Lets look at San Francisco. I'm going to get my stats right from the San Francisco Police Department.

Homocide - Down 20%

Rape - Down 23.8%

Robbery - Down 20.7%

Assault - Down 8.8%

Human Trafficking - Down 83.3%

Burglary - Down 45.4%

Motor Vehicle Theft - Down 6%

Arson - Down 7.9%

Larceny Theft - Up 12.8%

Year over year the only type of crime that is up is Larceny Theft, and most of that is shoplifting. Everything else is down, and some of it by significant margins. There is no real basis for this "crime wave" people keep talking about. That pressure is really just right wing propaganda.

Quick Edit: When I published this the stats were only current to February 6th, but they were updated after I posted with data up to the 13th. So my numbers above are going to be slightly off, but you can confirm them by changing the timeframe to end on the 6th.
> you must submit a new app that uses the new entitlements.

That's easy to do. Simply change the SKU and Bundle ID, and set up a new app in iTunes App Store. Deprecate the old one. Lots of apps do this, anyway. It's sort of S.O.P. for new paid versions.

I've released a whole bunch of apps, over the years. I've retired most of them, and come out with entirely new versions of others.

It's a pain, but nothing too intimidating. I find the article to be a bit ... hyperbolic ... The process I just described would take me a day, and that's mostly because I'm fairly anal about hand-crafting a lot of stuff that many developers can integrate into their CD process.
I feel like there were a decent amount of people, blocking various places, that said the only way this was ending/they were being moved was in a violent shootout.

Do you understand how much $ worth of mobilization has to happen to safely attempt to deal with people who say they’re going to start shooting at you in a city?

It’s a lot of time, money, & other resources. You can choose to cognitive dissonance this fact, but it doesn’t change it.

IMO, Canada didn’t use as much force as they should’ve to remove people who literally told them they were going to fight to the death instead of moving. Pretty big threat.
You've made this way more complicated than it needs to be: "I'm tired of hearing about something ... STOP MAKING THAT NOISE!"

Try to imagine someone on Hacker News who followed your every comment. Should you complain about something, they mention that this is the result of a world which has turned away from Christ, or has not embraced TimeCube, whatever. Just over and over again. You'd get sick of it, right? That's how I feel about the squawk of "capitalism has failed us." It's not much more complicated than "Your probable alternate wasn't that great, either."
I'm sorry if my comment came across as offensive, it wasn't my intent. I wasn't aware that there was a community fork of bass, and bass used to be pretty abandoned, so I've been advising people against it for quite some time. I'm happy if there's a community willing to reprise development on it.

I will open an issue, and I've joined the discord if you want to discuss about this. I'm happy to help though I've not really used it for years now, but I am happy to at least tell you why I stopped using it so that you can ponder this for future developments.
Me too. For those interested, bad capacitors can be identified by their rounded top. Replace with a new one with the same voltage and capacity rating as the failed one. Prefer parts with a brand and data sheet over no-name generic ones. The latter may not last as long as the original component.
I'd say that's usually a problem with websites and not the browser.

Many websites are just designed with the 80% of most frequent configurations. And when autoplay is disabled, the browser window is too narrow, a special font isn't loaded or a cookie is blocked all bets are off.
Near where I live, one of the BLM protestors tried to burn down the local 911 center. He’s currently in prison for arson.

Haven’t seen anything like that in this protest, but honestly I haven’t been looking too close.
Nobody intimidated or enact violence against Ottawa residents. Based on what I saw with my own eyes last week, protesters and truckers are friendly and peaceful. IDK maybe they turn to werewolves at night, but the most aggressive thing I saw there was "fuck trudeau" signs everywhere.
Clever. For the first 90 seconds of the video I was scrutinizing the image for defects. Turns out the narrator speaking was the AI.
It's in Google's best interest to save Firefox and, in turn, save itself from anti-trust/monopoly allegations in the near future.

The problem for your narrative is that there are dozens of livestreamers showing the exact opposite of what you claim. Unless YouTube shuts them down, you cannot control the narrative no matter what story you spin. It's a new age, stop playing cards from an old one if you want to be believed.

Browsing through their code, it looks like they are using a VQGAN for image generation and ESRGAN for super resolution.
It seems like (maybe it's a polarization thing) its becoming
more common for all sides to want to go straight to the
(thankfully only metaphorical) nuclear option to try and
end situations.

It may "seem like" that to you but that's factually incorrect, at least in this case.

This blockade has been ongoing for weeks. Maybe you only just heard about today, but they certainly didn't go "straight to the nuclear option."

Also, what do you mean by "nuclear option" anyway? To me, that would be the most extreme possible response. Nobody is saying the current situation is great, but there is clearly a lot of room left for escalation. (May it never come to that)

Calling the current state of affairs "the nuclear option" is disingenuous at best.
Yes that's correct, our democratically elected government with a charter of rights and freedoms and independent judiciary is allowed to impose reasonable restrictions on citizens freedoms under specific circumstances. No, a mob of thugs who represent a minority public opinion are not allowed to impose their will on society. If that's supposed to be a mic-drop comment you're going to have to try harder.
Not in the ways that matter to the point I'm making
Just adding a note that there are other easements as well. For instance the back line of my family's property grants an easement to the utilities for maintaining the electric and telecom wires.

Another way of thinking about it is that the notion of "ownership" is limited in a variety of ways. We also don't have mineral rights or control of the airspace above our house.
Source? I have not seen anything about this on the news.
Hardware. If Firefox had a phone to compete with Android, even if was $1000+ it would gain ground. Also selling laptops to compete against Chromebooks.

The hardware has to be top of the line and work perfectly with the OS. Work with every major linux distro to make sure they are compatible with no fuss. Only make one or two models total. Rally the entire opensource openhardware community around a single high end model. No companies working on their own lines, but allow any manufacturer to release a phone or sell parts that match spec.
Colab GPUs have more vram than a 3080 let alone a 3070.

I just noticed that someone finally fixed that stretched minesweeper screenshot on Julia's landing page.
Well, what I had in mind was just to set aside some time to think about friends and contacts and get in touch with people I haven't spoken to in a while, then follow up organically from there.

In fact I just called up two people today to see what was going on in their lives.

You do your thing, and I'll do mine. :)
Uh, how is someone supposed to protest? I mean, I see clear differences between going up to someone's home or into someone's workplace and making noise in the street. Any protest is almost guaranteed to inconvenience someone, unless you want to limit a "protester" to yelling in their own home. So what would you suggest is the line?
> The traditional med chemists were, in my opinion, rightfully skeptical of the suggestions coming out of the predictive modeling group ("That's a great suggestion, but can you tell me how to synthesize it?").

Start by plugging it into askcos.mit.edu/retro/ then, do your job?

> As one of my co-workers said to me: "The predictions made by the modeling group range from pretty bad to ... completely worthless."

Workers feeling threatened by technology think the technology is bad or worthless, news at 11.
Nice! That covers a lot of services.

Is it only for text? Will the fact that I video-chatted someone appear in Beeper, even if I have to use a different app to video-chat? It doesn't include email, right?
I see 'imposter syndrome' as a 'rite of passage' where as people progress from being a learner to being one of the lower-level top experts, they feel they are not worthy of being included in the rank of the top experts.

That will pass as they become more and more expert in their field and become one of the higher-level top experts themselves.
The people who have their lives taken away have little left to live for. The increases the violence and grows a movement you want to stop.

If Trudeau opened debate weeks ago I wonder where we would be today.

Do you watch college sports? Or are you just talking about what you imagine to be true? It’s not the same thing as a team of mid 20s+ trained professionals working in the context of a tech org. Indeed, The excellent talent skips college, goes to the pros, where talent matters much more than the org management.
So 1200 years ago--before there were nearly any humans on the entire continent--it was just as bad as today? Interesting.

You think most Canadians support the illegal blockade? Really? Evidence please.
Long Term Disability. Basically, if you get a disability that will prevent you from working, you'll be paid X% of your salary for some period of time (possibly until retirement age; depends on the fine print, the disability in question, etc). Many tech employers do cover this; if yours do not it is highly advisable that you invest in some, at the level you feel you'd be comfortable at.
Hey, you forgot to put this in the title: "written in Rust" :-)

This looks nice, though I looked through my command history of "watch" and couldn't find any use cases where hwatch would be more useful. Am I using it wrong?
Sure, my team and I created “style transfer” GANs to help people better understand particular data in light of other data (the latter of which is usually easier to understand but not always available in practice). It ended up getting strongly positive feedback from large stakeholders, we secured a large contract to deploy, and deployed / maintain it as a SaaS. I even got a patent for the work! I’m sorry I can’t be too much more specific. But, it’s also partially why I may come across as slightly annoyed with the presentation here — HuggingFace is 100% something with functionality I would have preferred to leverage versus my team needing to handle modeling, training, building, releasing, deploying, SLAs, etc. And I would love to support them. But all the presentations being rudimentary with poor UX makes it difficult for me to use them to convince people of this fact, so it’s harder for me to get buy in from finance than it might otherwise be if HF released polished, well thought out demos.

As an aside. I do not personally feel the future of generative modeling is in generative art or creating new Pokémon or things like that, categories which broadly seem like neat tricks without real world usefulness or at least adoption.
And mistakenly flagging you when you switch to/from VPN.
Yea, could be that a purge helped. I tend to think assholes produce a toxic working environment and are almost like malignant cancerous tumors in the way they impact a company in the long run.
"Passive aggressive" is exactly how you expect people to behave when you force them to do things they don't particularly want to do -- and follow this up by not paying them for it.
Except there is an ever-increasing pressure to install more apps. Even governments partake in this.

Soon you can't have a normal life without installing at least a dozen of apps.
Something similar can be achieved by using explicitly named continuations, though they carry more overhead in the happy path than exceptions (but are far cheaper to throw and catch!)

It's funny you say that because many people I know said they've simply stopped recording or responding to crime because everyone knows there will be no consequences for arresting somebody and the risk isn't worth arresting people in most cases.

The prediction was that next people would use the evidence that there are fewer crimes being reported as proof that nothing is wrong. This does seem very much like what we are seeing here.
At interest rate of ~1.5%. Is that what a credit card interest rate looks like?

Interest on debt looks like ~450B / yr, like 2.1% of our GDP to maintain the debt. Would you say someone who spends 2% of their income to maintain debt as someone in danger of collapse?

I agree we have way too much debt and need to consolidate it and practice fiscal responsibility. But fortunately the debt is insanely far within manageable status. Were that money used wisely (it isn't) on investing in infrastructure and research, the yield would be much higher than the interest.
There's too many bad programmers that are able to get by because of clueless managers. And schools aren't good indicators either. So for that reason I have to disagree very strongly. CV/Resume is a VERY BAD way to evaluate candidates. At a minimum you miss super talented self taught individuals, and at worst you end up with posers.
> On the other hand, I’ve heard the protests have caused millions in trade to be shut down which I would not consider a peaceful act.

Since when did economic disruption become violence? I just don't understand. It makes zero sense to redefine violence to mean "something that inconveniences me, that I disagree with", Where does that end?

When next the liberals want to protest something - an oil pipeline for instance (economic disruption) - would that also be called violence?
As long as they keep the 27% fee, I don't see any apps switching, also if they don't have to build a second app.
Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar hell. This internet track leads nowhere interesting.

I've always thought they should create their own Electron engine, or NodeJS variation. Should have reached out to the Deno team about using SpiderMonkey instead of V8.

Granted, users don't know or care which engine they're using, but it would allow Mozilla to "control" important infrastructure that apps are deployed on. Maybe it would turn into a revenue stream by providing official support, or maybe it just helps keep Google's fingers out of everything.
That's basically what most EULA read, only in many more words
Coffee shop with the window smashed (speculated it was because of the visible pride flag)

These trucks are extremely difficult to remove. And while you can still remove them if the air brakes are on it takes longer. Not only that, most rig towing companies won't do anything for fear of reprisal.
Housing is healthcare. I've already said that in my very first comment in this particular thread.

To whatever degree a mental illness is treatable with medication, it can be viewed as a physical ailment with somatopsychic symptoms.

I've already said that, elsewhere in this article discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30334409

If that isn't computing for you, it isn't going to get better to keep telling me I'm wrong and you don't agree.

Your mental models of this problem space and mine clearly aren't jibing. This form of engagement isn't likely to bridge the gap between where you are on this and where I am.

I've spent years talking about this stuff online, including on HN a whole lot. It's not been a waste of time but there's only so far that goes.

At this point, my focus is on trying to flesh out a potential pilot project -- like I said in my first comment.

Sometimes words get in the way. Sometimes the best thing to do is do it and show people.

That's what I hope to do though I may not be able to. I'm not wealthy. I'm not connected. Most of the world does not see what I see.

On the video of the announcement you can clearly see & hear them state that all actions will be subject to the Charter Of Rights And Freedoms. Go look/listen.
> I think of crypto not so much as a currency. You can’t really use it to buy a coffee at Starbucks.They’ve been failing as that kind of currency. I think of them as new kinds of computers, new kinds of legal systems, and new ways of achieving reliable decentralized consensus. So I think they’re most analogous to advances in computing rather than some kind of monetary event.

This is a point I like to make about Crypto. Unless your country's money is terrible, cryptocurrency is a terrible alternative.

It's better to think of the blockchain as an incredibly efficient title transfer technology. If you've ever bought a house, transferring the title is a fairly laborious and expensive process. Crypto makes that process so cheap we're using it on much dumber things. But that doesn't mean the technology itself is a dead end.
There's a GMO chestnut awaiting FDA approval that, with some luck, will be wholly immune to the blight and could prove to be the comeback generations have been waiting for. Unfortunately, this requires a rather long, painful bureaucratic process.

(On my phone, otherwise I'd find some links.)
I'm happy that you haven't experienced any of that. None of what I said is untrue. I'm glad there has been lots of support from this protest to attempt to make up for some of the damage. It is still an illegal occupation that is costing my city millions every day, thousands of people are out of work at the Rideau Centre alone, libraries have been shut down, school children are being intimidated...

I'm happy you're having fun.
> What style of street are you thinking of? Stop sign streets? Main streets with stoplights? Are just wanting to literally walk across any road without looking and force all traffic to stop?

Essentially, yes. Roads are for people, and of course drivers and passengers are people using the street too, but they don't deserve top priority over other uses, especially as the effort for them to get around is low (they are using external power to move themselves; the other users are not).

> Is walking down to the nearest stop sign/traffic light really that inconvenient?

Depends on how far and if it's safe to walk there. I live in a town with walkable footpaths on every street, and even between some streets, but neighboring towns are not so accommodating. There are plenty of places where the footpath simply ends in the middle of the block.

Anyway it's less convenient than being pulled to the intersection by a motor.
Sorry, so you're supposing that there's a bunch of dead bodies lying around that no one is counting as murder?
> Finally: every kid can draw up novel structures. Then: how do you actually fabricate these (in the case of real novel chemistry and not some building-block stuff). Noone has a clue!

I personally have a clue, and the entire field of organic chemistry has a clue, given enough time and money most reasonable structures can be synthesized (and QED+SAScore+etc and then human filter is often enough to weed out the problem compounds that will be unstable or hard to make). Actually even some of the state of the art synthesis prediction models are able to predict decent routes if the compounds are relatively simple [0]. The issue is that in silico activity/property prediction is often not reliable enough for the effort to design and execute a synthesis to be worth it, especially because as typically the molecules will get more dissimilar to known compounds with the given activity, the predictions will also often become less reliable. In the end, what would happen is that you just spend 3 months of your master student's time on a pharmacological dead end. Conversely, some of the "novel predictions" of ML pipelines includign de novo structure generation can be very close to known molecules, which makes the measured activity to be somewhat of a triviality.[1] For this reason, it makes sense to spend the budget on building block-based "make on demand" structures that will have 90% fulfillment, that will take 1-2 months from placed order to compound in hand and that will be significantly cheaper per compound, because you can iterate faster. Recent work around large scale docking has shown that this approach seems to work decently for well behaved systems.[2] On the other hand, some truly novel frameworks are not available via the building block approach, which can also be important for IP.

More fundamentally, of course you are correct, and I agree with you: having a lot of structures is in itself not that useful. Getting closer to physically more meaningful and fundamental processes and speeding them up to the extent possible can generate way more transparent reliable activity and novelty.
