We're passed that point. Probably by a couple of years at a minimum. No sarcasm. Content farms are definitely using techs like this. GPT-3 is really good at generating text but still has some characteristic failures, and I encounter content farm web pages (despite my best efforts) that have clearly used it or something like it as a tool. Even just in the last couple of weeks I've been seeing some new, innovative content farms managing to pollute my search results that I've not seen before.
I think that as long as you don't put a live version (where you don't require your own API Key) and you don't misuse the results, there shouldn't be a problem.

Even so, it is a good idea to adjust, I'll keep an eye on your fork. Thanks!

That's the point with VC money, for some markets. By burning the entire market for everyone else, you can then own it. At smaller scales and for some products this sucks because VC money distorts the market for otherwise perfectly/better designed products but that don't have the same monetization possibility.

I believe it's one reason so much VC money pouring into web3 now. They aren't about to let an actual decentralized vision take hold.
No, basically consciousness as we know it, entails a capacity to suffer, which is important to acknowledge on moral and health grounds, and that capacity is likely to be an essential part of consciousness. It makes whatever consciousness is or isn't, an important quality which demands consideration, to avoid suffering or to increase fulfillment or wellbeing etc in whatever we believe to be conscious. To 'virtualize' or academically detach that kind of importance of consciousness, as logically illusive or intangible distraction, is pathological.
I tried to reply to the notion that consciousness "is just an emergent phenomena of complexity" . The words 'just' 'only' 'simply' can hardly be applied to such a special thing. The idea such a thing arises at a threshold of complexity is quite empty of insight. At a certain level of complexity - an iphone emerges! That's no understanding of what is required to create an iphone or how it works.
What is required to emerge consciousness? if it where a matter of complexity then some quantity of iphones should achieve that threshold. But no mountain of iphones can experience suffering.

Smartcar.com is super cool, but I don't think it meets the requirements -- which is a standardized, open data-sharing platform. Do such open standards exist?
You know Amazon wasn't profitable as well right? These things take more time than people would like to admit. The whole point of investing is finding those gems you believe in. Cloudflare is one of mine. The physical infrastructure they have in place, their network expertise and their consistent ability to try new things make me think they will either be bought or move to be an extremely profitable company in the future.
Only 15% of gas in Germany are used for electricity production. 85% is used for heating and in the industry and this is completely unrelated to the shutdown of nuclear plants.

Germany needs to replace gas heatings with heat pumps and gas usage in industry with hydrogen to reduce the dependency on Russian gas.

The problem is not a lack of electric energy (this year also 12 coal plants will be shut down, while a lot of renewable energy is being installed). Reopening the nuclear plants will not help.
Between this app with RGBD videos and 3D reconstruction, I think in the future, there can be some software turning RGBD videos to reconstructed point cloud/mesh, so that you don't need to run a dedicated 3D reconstruction app at the time recording. Maybe I'll be able to work on it like... 3 years later...?
OK, but the cafeteria worker is part of Facebook. Every single person in the company is replaceable, but does contribution not mean more in terms of what that person is "worth" to the company? If you were looking to distribute money by fungibility, you'd end up giving minimum wage to almost everybody and millions to that one sysadmin who has created an elaborate system that nobody understands.

There is no objective measure for what ratio people should be paid at, because different roles often cannot be compared; I think it's best decided democratically based on assessment contribution.
I'm not talking about going full "BYOC" - I think they should still sell the whole kit - but I think it'd make it easier to see the long-term value proposition if I know I _can_ build my own compute module in the future - that I'm not wholly reliant on their corporate solvency to use the hardware going forward. Effectively, they've got an all-in-one computer with a really novel/interesting display, and the issue with many all-in-one computers is that the computer guts usually age faster and less gracefully than the displays. They're showing the compute part as modular, but that's not useful if the company isn't around in ~3 years unless I can build my own.
I agree that lack of resources is a contributing factor.

> I don't think they're going to put a high priority on the fact that there's a naughty movie out there that someone willing filmed themselves in and is now regretful about.

This characterization of revenge porn is exactly the victim blaming and minimization of harm inflicted that I was talking about. Consenting to film a sex act is not consenting to have it published to the wider world.

I think that's pretty much aligned with Google reasoning back then. Go was designed to make it easier to onboard their fresh grads + scientists hiring,which were more familiar python to do systems stuff.

Many of the target users are probably perfect touch typists.

But according to the product comparison the SimulaVR also has handtracking. I wonder if it'd be possible to track hands and keyboard accurately enough for those who are not perfect touch typists.
I am very excited to try this out.

One day we are going to reach a convergence of really expressive typing tools (for interface description languages [IDL] and downstream consumers) that realizes the dream of effortless interop.

I bring up using protobufs everywhere Ive worked since 2014 when I learned much about them from a xoogler but so few people see the benefits.

I think tooling like Buf should help reduce the friction (and fear) I just need to carve out time to try it.

> My inkling, as a former lawyer, is that this would not be theft if you didn't know the item was there

Not theft, but still conversion. The thief could sue you for the value of the items. When a car is repossessed the chattels (personal items) have to be returned to avoid liability. There is case law establishing that if you tell the repo agent you have stuff in the trunk and he drives off anyway, that's prima facie conversion (monetary liability) regardless of whether they try to return the items later.

Flying often enough to justify even installing the app/getting any benefits from it surely does count as luxury flying though?
Switching from hash table to B-tree is another example of something Rust is good at and Go 1.10 wasn't, so I'd call it a fair part of the comparison. That version of Go doesn't have generics, so you're stuck with the builtin hash tables, reflection, or code duplication/generation. (Also, I'm reading the post correctly, this switch was included in the first set of graphs that he called "roughly comparable").

I've never seen a "we switched program $X from language $Y to language $Z" post that reproduced exactly the same program, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect that. This one doesn't seem to have done anything crazy like a completely different algorithm, SIMD intrinsics replacing naive code, etc. (The Game's programs actually are that different, so I don't like that study at all.)
That's Technic Lego.
Lying on the side, cat purring and curring snuggled against your chest, throat and chin, paws clamped crosswise over the hand holding her chest and throat with three fingers, thumb and little finger around/under her 'armpits'. Autonomously releasing 'clutch' if she moves/turns/leaves. Autonomously re-enagagiging 'clutch/coupling' if another one takes over, or comes back.

Nothing is more relaxing for me.
For what it's worth, I hadn't heard of this before. And I develop Android apps, use F-Droid and NewPipe, and have been avoiding ads since forever.

Edit: after having a look I prefer NewPipe still.

I would be curious to know what malicious implications eBPF could have. related discussion [1] [2] For example, could a file-less trojan be injected via eBPF to reroute specific data payloads or copy specific payloads to different destinations? Or silently censor specific destinations?

Are there ways that eBPF could be abused and if so what mitigations, limitations and logging can one implement so that eBPF can remain enabled in a hardened and sensitive environment?

Intel competing with TSMC will not be a problem for Intel or TSMC until the chip shortage is well and truly behind us.
I've always felt a little uncomfortable how many open source projects README files they've edited to recommend their product. You read it thinking it's mandatory, then you realize it's just an ad (see "PRICING") and that you can continue to use "go generate" like you always have.

(Example: https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/pull/1971)
>When moneyed interests compete it becomes the same as their being no moneyed interests

No. That's very incorrect.

For example: Moneyed Interest #1 wants A & B, Moneyed Interest #2 wants A & Not-B. It's entirely possible that Not-A is a bad business model, but is also in the interest of the citizenry at large to have Not-A be law.

What a terrible take. As someone with an interest in monorepos, who's currently working with a company adopting Nx, I found the page interesting and compelling. I spent a good 30-60 minutes following links and investigating deeper.

You didn't even read past the fourth paragraph. You should be ashamed for derailing what could have been a productive discussion about an interesting topic with your shallow dismissal.
Yes, I think we're still a couple of years from this becoming an intractable problem, but it's absolutely coming.

Startup entrepreneurs in the mood for a Hail Mary play take note. How do you have a web search engine in a world where there no longer exists any algorithm for telling spam apart from real content? "Go back to the original Yahoo" is a decent start but certainly nowhere near a complete answer in 2022!

My guess is that it may not even take the form of what we have today, with an arbitrary text box. Maybe you have to go down to a specific category at least. Who knows. I sure don't. All I can say is that it sure looks to me like the spammers are only a year or two from effective total victory in the current paradigm.
In that case, Python is also a "systems language", but you don't see people claiming it as such.

If you care about those things very deeply, then perhaps that is exactly the right thing to do. Lots of people don't do things because of ideological or personal beliefs, even if it limits their options.
I've assigned this the Global Security Database (GSD) ID GSD-2022-1000285 (https://raw.globalsecuritydatabase.org/GSD-2022-1000285) and started a discussion about these informational entries at https://groups.google.com/a/groups.cloudsecurityalliance.org...

TL;DR: if you run nginx I assume you want to know about these types of potential problems, so sticking it into the security database makes a lot of sense in my opinion for discoverability.
This article is a product promotion as much as it is an (anti-climatic) story about crime, and the two are mixed in an unpleasant way.
Just gotta put googly eyes on the front.
Disclosure: I work for GM, everything expressed here is solely my own opinion.

I think people see car companies as a huge monolith with nearly limitless resources. I can see where this comes from, but those resources are split into silos, and those silos have limited capacity. Especially for companies like Subaru, which is actually pretty small comparatively. They may have done a cost-benefit analysis and decided that the investment was not worth the money they get from selling those option packages.

On a broader level, I think right to repair can be perceived as a feature, but many executives have a default negative stance on openness.

I think of it like the GM LS engine. If you're at all familiar with car modification, you've heard of the LS Swap - people changing the engine that came with their car for a larger, more powerful, more versatile GM V8 engine. The LS swap ecosystem grew because the engines were relatively cheap, relatively easy to work on, and relatively reliable (your mileage may vary). Imagine if GM executives had tried to lock down the engine swap environment.
Haha yep. I had one customer tell me I should go to work for him in construction or go to school instead of working at Lowes. The look on his face was kind of funny when I told him I have a masters and work as a software dev. Then it stopped being funny when I realized how shitty it is to be working 40-50 hours at my main job plus 16-20 hours at Lowes and nor even make $100k. Masters degrees are such a waste of time.
The article body and headline are (of course) at odds IMO. The headline is very much "doomscroll" material while the article points out that interference could basically manifest as having to rely on secondary systems and protocols to land. If I'm missing something then happy to be corrected :D
>Android makes it sufficiently difficult that only 0.01% of users can do it,

That's BS. My mom installed f-droid by herself and can install apps from APKs without any help.

It's not like you gotta root your phone, use ADB, or break out the CLI for that. All you have to do is tap Install when prompted, that's it. OMG, so complex, only 0.01% of users can tap Install in F-droid. /s
First of all, you can look at C code and have a pretty good idea about the generated machine code, or at least a much better idea than with C# and Java. Secondly, it's even easier to predict Go code because Go compilers don't optimize as aggressively as C compilers and because Go has very little UB.

> Secondly, it seems that its common in the golang community to parrot things that not only are incorrect, but provably wrong.

Whatever your intentions may have been, this is just language war flame bait, and it's against the rules.

True, there are already some tools available to improve Kubernetes resource usage. Some might also use the VPA that comes with K8s. With Optimize Live we focused on the developer experience and precision of our recommendations.

Optimize Live can look at all historical data and trends and uses our machine learning algorithm to recommend improvements. From an engineering perspective, you don't need to write YAML files, write load test or make your way through complex configurations. The recommendations for more optimal configurations comes directly as YAML file which you can either deploy manually after checking or automatically and put optimization on autopilot once you feel comfortable with the tool.

My opinion is for sure biased but at the moment, we think we have the simplest solution to the problem of over-provisioning, CPU throttling or OOM issues.

I think there are two missing things here. One is that this is not coming from a specialist camera, but from iphone cameras. Many mobile phones (including some android ones) already have hardware to capture depth. And the next is about color information. This video has no information loss in terms of color compared to ordinary videos. It's just that they are mapped into 3D space. The example you are watching has 720p color resolution.

Using YouTube only via Firefox with the uBlock Origin plugin works pretty well too. The simple solution without requiring any additional apps. Firefox has its own quirks which are discussed on Hacker News at length, but it's good enough.

Actually, I've considered installing an older version of Firefox and disabling updates. But I feel that might pose security risks, and if at some point there's a novel virus requiring updating, I'm afraid the shock might be too big, as compared to a little shock every few months. Still considering what's wise here...
I know this won't be popular but I think it is important which is why I am writing this.

IMHO, "imposter syndrome" is yet another pop-psychology nonsense fabricated to make money for the professionals, in the same category as "Just pay us $300 per hour and we'll listen to you and tell you how everyone you don't like is a narcissist".

If you have had to exaggerate and lie about your talents and capabilities to land yourself a job, you are a real imposter, in every sense of the word. It is not some "psychological disease" which is not representative of reality.

If you are in a culture/market, where you have to one-up your competitor's exaggeration of themselves to survive, you gotta do what you gotta do. You can accept it as it is and maybe at some point, you can get yourself in a position where you can be honest and survive (even though lying would get you much better opportunities)... or just embrace the fact that you are okay with being a liar and justify it in whatever ways it gives you comfort.

If you have a problem with lying, you will have a problem with it whatever you dress it up as... and it will continue to eat you from the inside even though you know all these fancy theories made up by psychologists. At least knowing and accepting it will help you get out when the situation favors you to do so.
Or just ignoring it, which seems like it would make more sense for a local news station?
Sorry about that. I was thinking of radar as a subset of weather-related radio. I'll fix that for clarity. Thanks for pointing it out.

What do VCs have to do with it? Cloudflare has been publicly traded for over two years; one of the basic success metrics for a public company is whether it turns a profit (or is capable of one, absent an overarching R&D investment scheme like Amazon's).
ORMs map relational databases to objects. Calcite does not do that. Calcite takes different data sources (potentially with different data models) and presents them all in the relational model. You interact with your data entirely in SQL while ORMs typically have some DSL which uses whatever object model the ORM defines. ORMs are also typically designed to connect to a single data source at a time. I'm personally not familiar with any ORMs that allow combining data from multiple sources within the same application.

The primary advantage of Calcite for connecting multiple data sources are 1) easily joining data sources that use completely different APIs (assuming there is a Calcite adapter available) and 2) supporting more complex queries than the original data source supports without having to write code (other than SQL) to do the processing.
As I understand (not a pilot but just interested in aviation), these altimeters are critical for use during low visibility landings, to determine when it may be safe to continue landing, or when they must abort landing (e.g. if they can't see the ground yet because of fog)

Being wholly inaccurate or no reading may be equally dangerous if it happens at the wrong time.
