You could use photogrammetry, or lots of measuring, trial, and error.
Wait, that's what that passage is supposed to mean? It does not seem obviously correct to me. Why can I not enroll several trusted devices?
To add a specific example. A common pattern is 'put some objects in memcache' in front of the DB. Imagine if you can:

1. define a view representing the object fields you want to cache
2. define eviction and properties of the cache
3. use queries to query either the cache or the db

Specifically, do all of the above using edgeql and not have to write the cache consistency or serialization/deserialization logic.
I tried printing a case for my phone. Aside from how annoying TPU is to print, finding the measurements of the device was surprisingly frustrating.

You can, if course, just measure and draw it out yourself. But the rounded sides are likely going to be guesses.

So, major kudos on this release. Could probably just sketch in blender and then just standard difference tricks to put your case on one of these.
Sure but if it and signal are the only game in town then it's time to "try that drug dealer app"
Not at all. I was playing devil's advocate and taking the perspective of someone who ordered online. They are as much as a customer as one who dines in.
How about a synthesis of the two: “will to find something worth believing in”.

I've been aggressively sharing my location with anyone who will have it[1] because I think it's important that we grapple with how many people might be aware of our location at this point. Our locations are all shared with many people we will never meet, often in ways that are indirect. The social experience of being able to see a 'location'[2] at any time is a pretty new idea (relatively) and I think the only way we (collectively) are going to form an opinion about how we would like engage or block it is to engage.

What I mean by 'engage' is not to use location sharing (tho I do), but to hypothesize what each one of us thinks is the right approach to location monitoring (embrace, block, etc) and try to implement it. It's the only way we'll develop informed opinions about what should be different and how to improve the system we are building.

[1] If you reply to this with a Gmail address (or message me on twitter or email me: aeturnum@gmail.com) I'll share my location with you. Feel free to share back, or don't! I am not picky.

[2] The idea of a location is super complicated. It involves coordinate systems and maps and abstraction. So I am loath to just talk about it like it's straightforward.
It's also enough to make news and sound bites. We are talking about mass media here, not a peer review scientific journal.

Take measurements, draw/model it. There’s a real art in being able to recreate something accurately.

For something like this, use a contour gauge at certain offsets from a set point will give you a set of curves you could model through.

Well they did say "JS is ass". Happy to give them them the benefit of the doubt but I appreciate more obvious supportive commentary.
The first entry in the change log makes me think Mozilla knows exactly what it's way is, and is sticking to it:

> Rejected by Mozilla Add-ons Team. The reason is that I did not provide an exact link to the origin of the hsluv-0.1.0.min.js library used by uBO to implement dark theme (uBO's About page does credit the author of the library). A README has been added to 1.41.2 to disclose the exact origin of the library.

And for that reason, I'm sticking with Firefox. It's such a delight to see "transparency and audibility" are a hard engineering requirement. We in open source don't have much in the way of firm engineering processes, but we have that - and usually it's enough to ensure our software doesn't actively undermine us.

My bf and I share location, I think its pretty useful. Just shortcuts the "how far away are you" conversation every time we need to meet up.
This seems like a pricing issue then, doesn’t it?

FWIW, when I worked at BigCo Splunk was really great for standardization of logs and debugging across teams. We used it a lot when there were major outages to share unified ways across teams of slicing data and deep diving into logs together. I think it’s a fabulous product. The fact that they haven’t been able to monetize it effectively is a bit baffling since it doesn’t seem radically different than other B2B software solutions aimed at large corps.
> I'm not trying to support either side here but I find a bit odd that Russia is depicted as the 'bad guy' for keeping troops within its borders

Russian troops are occupying substantial parts of Ukraine, which is a key part of the context of Russia massing additional troops on the border of Ukraine, in other, Russia and Belarus (the latter of which is a cooperating partner of Russia, just as the NATO countries the US is deploying troops to are of the US, but definitely still not within Russia’s borders.)

> while the US are depicted as the 'good guys' for moving troops abroad

The US troops are all deployed with the permission of the host governments in NATO allies. Like Russia’s troops in Belarus (which are “abroad and next to Ukraine”, in much larger numbers than US troops are “abroad and next to Russia”), and unlike Russia’s troops in Ukraine, which are an actual (not potential imminent) invasion and occupation.

But nice try.
If someone is studying physics to become a physicist they would be a fool to complain about learning all that math. If someone is learning physics to be a telescope operator then it seems like they have a reasonable complaint.
This is actually a problem with all SaaS apps. You subscribed and bet on some SaaS, but after a year of usage, being dependent on them, they decided to fuck up the UI? There ain't anything you can do about it. There is no "old version" you can download. You are fucked.

Not a single SaaS out there has an older version you can switch to. Don't like the new Stripe UI? Good luck. They do version their API though which is the core of their offerings. But what about Office 365? Notion? RIP.
Corruption is better than destruction.
> the end product at the high end isn't much improved. But we miss out on the breadth of teaching across a wide spectrum of people

I think this can't be overstated.

It means that these elite schools (where the elite go, and where they are recruited from) largely filter for people who are great when they enter the school, and not much else.

Potential for greatness through learning doesn't matter much then, does it? Between the economic filtering for admission and courses like these that will favor students that arrive with a bunch of training you're much more likely to receive of your parents are wealthy, these schools mostly seem to aid the elite at preserving the status quo...
Physics is full of concepts that are counterintuitive. Inertia is an early example of one such concept. But ideas are adopted based on their explanatory power, and one way you get places is with an ethos called 'shut up and calculate'. I.e., don't think too hard about the 'counterintuitive' nature of what the theories predict, crunch the numbers and figure out what the predictions are and leave the implications to the philosophers.

Once you accept that the speed of light is constant in all reference frames, relativity falls out from that. That in itself is a bit hard to accept, though, which was why it was some number of years between the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 and Einstein's paper on SR in 1905. GR basically also comes from 'shut up and calculate' after accepting the principles behind SR but adapting them to non-inertial reference frames (and also the insight behind gravity being a fictitious force), but the mathematics is much more complicated than SR, which I assume is why it took Einstein over a decade to work it out.

Offtopic, but... that theme is gorgeous! Does anybody know its name?
Welcome to HN. Sorry some nasty people in the community think you're a fake account. I don't think so. I think you're probably just lurking for many years.
I like Raised by Wolves. A lot of it is "here's another unrealistic coincidence" and "that character has a lot of plot armor", but I'm hoping it's because the overarching mystery story makes it that way. I'll be disappointed if this turns out to be sloppy writing.

Certainly a chunk of the writing so far is cliche. I'm pretty sure I saw parts of this show a dozen times in various 90s shows and 50s/60s/70s books. Anybody remember Earth 2?

Although the child actors are quite bad at acting, the adults largely make up for it.

The environment does feel like a Star Trek jungle set, where it's hard to suspend disbelief that it's not just a few hundred square meter outdoor stage in South Africa. But we've been suspending disbelief on low res sci fi shows for years, so long as the story is good, and even when the writing is bad.

For instance Babylon 5 is one of my all time favorites and the writing is bad and the acting is worse. A couple actors elevate and save it (Peter Jurasik, Andreas Katsulas, Ed Wasser, Walter Koenig). But what really saves it is story: not effects, not dialog, not delivery, just compelling world-building story.

I'm hoping Raised by Wolves turns into something great, but so far as it's at least good, I'm along for the ride.

Let me introduce you to the idea of freedom. You are free to not go. Me too; I have no intention to ever go to Mars. But if some people want to go to Mars, why should I question their pursuit of happiness?
There are some pretty simple hardware mitigations that would render this and similar attacks nearly impossible and they only add pennies to the design.
Ideally you want the tracker deeply embedded in the thing being stolen. So for an ebike the tracker is on the main chip of the control board. And the thief gets a message saying "the bike is tracking you" and their only option is to dump the bike rather than rip the tracker off.
From the link you're referring to:

(3) The arresting officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States.

Therefore, if you try to leave after being ordered to stay, during a crisis situation, without a valid reason, you should expect to be arrested and further dealt with.

Where is the "capitalist" in your description coming from?

I disagree that they're necessarily more radical as the other commenter suggested, by they are absolutely far more bias towards left-leaning viewpoints. So much so that in many cases I believe its restricted free thought more so than nurtured it. Many students fear that if they have an opinion which doesn't align with the administrations stated political narrative then they could face academic, social, and/or administrative repercussions.

Fine-Tuning OpenAI's GPT-3 (Weights and Biases)
Oh hey, fancy seeing this here! I'm the author

I'll try to answer questions below.
its nice to see this.

the idea that speed, safety and usability are mutually exclusive has always been wrong. trivially so imo... but clearly not given how long the myth has persisted.
Yes, the article is using "anti-racism" as a term of art but that of course leaves it open to this kind of criticism. I suppose one ought to use something more precise like "prejudicial anti-racism" or the like. Since 'prejudice' is the individual attitude that's ultimately leading to these problematic behaviors on the anti-racist side.
This is a lengthy read, but I was startled enough by an observation halfway through that I thought to comment on it: after mostly quoting legendary physicists to drive home points about stupidity and arrogance, the author quotes a certain Judith Rich Harris. I only recognized the name because, in the course of reading various parenting tracts, I came across her book The Nurture Fallacy and it absolutely upended my beliefs on the subject. That she would be placed alongside Richard Feynmann as an exemplar of scientific virtue is a testament to the boldness (and truth) of her theory, but it is inconvenient enough to her field that it has been largely buried and most parents will never hear the truth.

You are in touch with your kind of people, the kind who graduate from university.

If you were doing a PhD you were at the kind of university that has a PhD programme. Probably it was one of the 200 or so US universities out of a thousand that are selective, rejecting more students than they accept. I doubt there was a single student in your seminar who wasn’t in the top 30% by academic aptitude of their age group.

OpenAI software may be "conscious" in the same way that a flatworm is conscious.
I find my far left friends often being quite irrational. Any mention of taking a person in the context of their time (slave owner) for example makes some of them explode in anger and cut off contact for weeks at a time. I never make excuses but I stick to my mantra of being honest about history means considering context and that "evil" is not an absolute and changes with morals of society. I believe your friend is on to something. When I (moderate democrat/social libertarian) was at university I had some really good debates with mixed groups of friends at parties, lunch, bbq's etc. Now everyone in their 20s and below (on the left or right) seems to be in their silos and don't want to hear that others are human, and have reasons and logic for what they chose and aren't literally the enemy. Kinda scary...
We're talking about a person who has less than 48 ours ago threatened nuclear Armageddon on the entire world. [1]

Strictly speaking, he said that bad things you're talking about would happen "if Ukraine joins NATO and tries to retake Crimea by military means." Not, as you seem to imply, just for the fun of it.

The U.S. has also threatened, or considered first-strike nuclear attacks several times (albeit not publicly) numerous times, as recently as 1997. Usually against smaller countries (the usual suspects) but also against the Russians in the event of an attack on Berlin during the 1961 crisis:

I think what I'm trying to understand is this: if I use EdgeDB in production, how often will I end up dropping down to the SQL level to debug things? If I'm trying to debug a slow query, can I do it at the EdgeDB level? Or will I have to open a PostgreSQL terminal, see how things are laid out there, run EXPLAINs, check the slow query log, and so on?

When I use ORMs, the answer to this is "pretty often". The ORM makes my application code cleaner, but I still need to have a complete understanding of the underlying SQL representation in order to ensure good performance and debug errors. I'm curious how that compares to using EdgeDB.
I mean OK, cool, you have checked, but IMO that's not very relevant.

I genuinely enjoyed the promo site and immediately installed the tool and tried it and loved it. Check my comment history if you like, not a bot or anything, just a normal programmer always in need of more tools to enable and improve his work.
Welcome to HN :) There's always weirdos looking to hate on stuff here, but you didn't deserve to be called a fake account. I think you just read but don't comment. The mean people are just projecting, and suspecting others of what they themselves would do. Sorry they did that to you today.
The real issue here is they changed the behavior and have no way to restore it. I personally do not like when I lose filtering by changing search terms, but every time it happens—unless I’m using something very specialized cough GitHub—I think “what would I expect, or more importantly what would my non-tech family expect?” Often enough, I come up 50/50 depending on usage. Usually my reconsideration favors resetting filters, because most people are not adept at refining search terms in a general context. But both are perfectly reasonable defaults. The issue is that you can’t reclaim your muscle memory once it’s been taken away.

I fiddled with this prompt

Calculate 721*436

Step A: Multiplication table.
721*0=0 721*1=721 721*2=1,442 721*3=2,163
721*4=2,884 721*5=3,605 721*6=4,326
721*7=5,047 721*8=5,768 721*9=6,489
Step B: Multiply digits
436=4 hundreds + 3 tens + 6 ones
721*4 hundreds=2,884*100=288,400
721*3 tens=2,163*10=21,630
721*6 ones=4,326*1=4,326
Step C: Add the first two
288,400+21,630=310,030
Then add the last one
310,030+4,326=314356

To get GPT-3's answer to this one correct (this is its answer, but it took some trial and error with the prompt to get it to stop making small mistakes)

Calculate 312*481

Step A: Multiplication table.
312*0=0 312*1=312 312*2=624 312*3=936
312*4=1,248 312*5=1,560 312*6=1,872
312*7=2,184 312*8=2,496 312*9=2,808
Step B: Multiply digits
481=4 hundreds + 8 tens + 1 ones
312*4 hundreds=1,248*100=124,800
312*8 tens=2,496*10=24,960
312*1 ones=312*1=312
Step C: Add the first two
124,800+24,960=149,760
Then add the last one
149,760+312=150,072

I then tested it with two random 3-digit numbers

Calculate 669*306

Step A: Multiplication table.
669*0=0 669*1=669 669*2=1,338 669*3=2,007
669*4=2,676 669*5=3,345 669*6=4,014
669*7=4,683 669*8=5,352 669*9=6,021
Step B: Multiply digits
306=3 hundreds + 0 tens + 6 ones
669*3 hundreds=2,007*100=200,700
669*0 tens=0*10=0
669*6 ones=4,014*1=4,014
Step C: Add the first two
200,700+4,014=204,714
Then add the last one
204,714+306=205,020

204,714 is correct, but then it gets confused in the very last line because of the zero.

Anyway this, I think, proves that GPT-3 can do zero-shot math if it doesn't have to do it in its head all at once. Is it good for a calculator? No. Is it good for a language model trained on web text? Yes, absolutely.

E: Correcting the start of Step C in that last example to “200,700+0”, and replacing “XYZ=X hundreds + Y tens + Z ones” with “XYZ=X Y Z=X hundreds + Y tens + Z ones” allowed it to do 145*585, 961*761 and 592*555 correctly in a row, all randomly chosen, and at least the last two tried without changes to the prompt. I consider this an adequate test, and it demonstrates GPT-3's algorithm following abilities. As GPT-3 is still a tiny model, this seems important to note.

E2: To be clear this is still nowhere near 100% successful. GPT-3 still makes a lot of errors. I ran 100 tries of a slightly different prompt through the API, and got a success rate of 42%.
This article is almost criminally flawed. The author makes some horrible assumptions and presents shoddy data. Even if we assume that the latent space model is "correct" (we shouldn't), they don't present anything like variance or number of samples in a year. Then they sort of arbitrarily fit a line to data which pretty clearly looks non-linear.

Suppose, for example, that The Crimson (not Harvard btw, it's a student newspaper) runs 10x as many articles this year as last. It's possible you're going to get a huge reduction in cosine distance just by virtue of a few authors producing a lot more content.

At a minimum, we need mean, variance, and number of samples. This doesn't tell you anything about "Harvard", it just tells you about the students who the Crimson choose to publish. There are lots of structural reasons within Harvard that the Crimson has probably stopped being a unified voice of the student body -- but again, that's not what the article purports to show.
Obviously, the reasonable believe is that the person trying to leave is doing so to remove, or otherwise tamper with, evidence.
