IQ is overrated. If IQ mattered as much as people think, then all the jeopardy champions would be millionaires. Some of the dumbest people are willing to go up to strangers and ask them to buy something they don't need. Intelligence can get in the way more than people think. Just gotta be above the disability level. Your emotional, energetic, environmental, and cultural traits will do the rest.
Here is a useless, but interesting remark about spherical models: the surface area of a spherical hyper-cow reaches maximum in 7 dimensions, then rapidly shrinks to zero. This should give an idea what hyper-cow is ideal.

Saying that Ukraine is winning is like saying someone is winning a boxing match when their opponent has a machine gun that they haven't decided to use yet.

The opponent should not use the machine gun. It may even be unlikely that they'll use it. But the only reason the unarmed boxer is winning is because their opponent is not desperate enough.

I hope that Russia is never pushed to use its tactical nukes or any of its other astonishingly destructive weapons, but there's no reason right now to assume that they won't.
Have you heard the term "self-fulfilling prophecy"?
This.

I've pushed back on "why not X?" before; the most often reason being "it does not have the features we need". Then implemented it anyways when some astronaut architect decreed it shall be so, and duct taped around the aforementioned gaps as best I could. To whomever handles that in the future: I'm sorry.

Or sometimes the decree just comes down "adopt X" with nobody really having done any legwork to see how good X actually is in practice and we just find out by adopting.

> Why not protocol buffers?

Because we were looking for performance, but the backend was in Python and wasn't getting re-written in Rust anytime soon, and JSON was faster because it is a native C extension¹.

¹and technically, protobufs can be too. We evaluated the C extension, and there was one problem with it: it reliably segfaulted. We disabled it, and tried the pure-Python version, but it lost to JSON.

> Why not cloud-managed relational DB?

We need spatial indexes, and the cloud provider didn't offer them, then later did offer them but they didn't work. I hear they work now, but we didn't wait around for the cloud to implement…

Although sometimes, the answer is just "honestly, I'd love to adopt X. Haven't had the resources to do it, (probably, haven't had the time)."
My memory of Carlin's episode on that one is that it's broadly accurate as per the historical consensus, but as a note one should beware of taking Carlin too seriously more generally. Good for the basic shape of things, maybe good for tone, but probably not good for the why things actually happened most of the time. Too deep in the dad-history bucket.

(But that's not to diminish that Julius Caesar was a bad dude.)
Who cares? IP is a racket. It's criminal that copyrights we're ever extended beyond the original 14 years they were supposed to last.

I think it’s a stretch to say the Eastern Roman Empire lost its ability to project power in the Mediterranean by mid-600s.

During the Macedonian Dynasty (867-1056), they were arguably still the dominant power. Arab-Byzantine Wars lasted for 500 years and involved the entire Mediterranean. The Byzantine Italy existed until 1071.

Even after, the Komnenian Restoration (12th century) revived the Empire to some extent in financial, cultural, and territorial form.

Sure, they weren’t as powerful as the Roman Empire at its peak, but still could project plenty of power after mid-600s.
No, the general consensus is that you should break the law when you know you won't be caught anyway.
That's a fantastic question, and as someone who feels some kinship with the OP but without any further understanding of their viewpoint, let me stipulate that, to me, it's emergent xenophobia, racism, and inequality.

If these things are rampant, but on the decline, it's not the same thing. If they were more or less in check, but are now running wild through the decaying empire, that's the signal.

Again, my opinions are totally my own (and maybe somewhat overstated here) and don't reflect OP at all. Just a thought.
I've played a bit with weggli, it's pretty useful for "grepping" an entire codebase for patterns (for example, to search for antipatterns in a codebase)

Perhaps more capable but also more complex is clang-query:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/exploring-clang-tooli...

I couldn't find any direct documentation of clang-query, but it's part of clang-tools:

https://clang.llvm.org/extra/doxygen/ClangQuery_8cpp_source....

Similarly clang's LibASTMatchers (for writing matchers which can do anything from displaying a message, to actually transforming the matched code):

Modern fire safety standards are worlds above what they used to be when the requirement for windows went into building codes.

I'm not saying it is nice, but I am saying that flop houses and boarding houses filled a need in society that, for many people, is currently being met by living outdoors in tents instead.
On the object identity issue - I always wished JS had some way of getting at a unique (printable!) identifier for objects. It’s not very often but sometimes it would be so very useful to be able to console.log(obj.underlyingPointer) to see if an object’s identity is changing. It would also be useful from a teaching perspective.
> No matter where you are, if you go looking for people who will influence your life in an expansive, positive way, you will find them. You don't need to go to school for that. There are countless other reasons to choose one school over another.

I agree with this. Also less prestigious universities can have better people to influence the OP right now, even if the end goal is to do a PhD at MIT.

For example, take a look at how some great football (soccer) talents are managing their careers. Many deliberately decline offers from top teams in order to keep growing organically. Knowing when to get into a top team (or university) without getting burnt out is an important aspect in managing your career.

Depending on the OP's personality, getting into MIT too early might be detrimental. Lots of students might not enjoy an excessively competitive place for an undergrad for instance.

In my case, if I was going to college again, I would probably consider small liberal arts programs and some ivies (with access to great CS coursework, e.g. Dartmouth) rather than MIT, if both admitted me of course. That's just me, as I value more that kind of academic lifestyle.
They should just remove the camere entirely. Would save me the effort of trying to cover it with stickers or removing it.

Discord usually works like this for me although occasionally it makes sense to do a voice chat or screen share.

But honestly your question makes me suspicious, because I have had a client bring on a few people into a project (who I was not able to check beforehand) who abused this asynchronous thing.

One was just QA person who just had multiple jobs and would literally have a different and creative reason she did not have time to finish her work every day. It could take a few days for her to get back to you even if she appeared to be idling in the server. Then with the excuses.

Another was an American scammer who claimed experience with just about every technology, and pretended to be working on "wireframes". When we complained too much that he wasn't available to discuss things, he supposedly started showing up in the chat room. But strangely his answers were quite short and sometimes somewhat broken English.
I sort of tolerated it for a week or so because I was really busy doing my part. But then we were supposedly having a call to discuss the actual details and amazingly he seemed to have no problem talking about the project for several minutes without ever actually saying anything specific to the project.

So on that call I insisted that we discuss it, and asked him a specific question about the core technology. He could not think of another way to evade the question so he left the call.

Anyway he eventually admitted to hiring some overseas person to "work" on it, and that was the person who was sitting in the chat room. (Although not really saying or doing anything useful).

Having said all of that, I think video calls are usually unnecessary, and text chat should be sufficient 95% of the time.
idk, everything i think i know about it i read on wikipedia earlier today lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praenomen

"The praenomen was a personal name chosen by the parents of a Roman child."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomen_(Roman_name)

"The nomen gentilicium (or simply nomen) was a hereditary name borne by the peoples of ancient Italy"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognomen

"Initially, it was a nickname, but lost that purpose when it became hereditary. Hereditary cognomina were used to augment the second name, the gens (the family name, or clan name), in order to identify a particular branch within a family"
Correlation isn't necessarily causation. The majority of organ donors in the US are probably car drivers, for example. They also breathe oxygen, which can be fatal in the long term.
A tiny dom lib like https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml is more than enough for very complicated UI, with understanding how events work, will be able to implement very thin state management on top. With game programming styled manual render() call here and there as needed, pretty neat.
You know what happens when you ASSUME things?

You are ASSUMING that I offered them less money.

You are ASSUMING that I somehow forced them to do something they wouldn't do otherwise.

Reality is, they themselves offer great deals on whatever is left. No coercion required.

And last time I checked, it was a free world: I'm free to take their deal or not, and they're free to offer me one, or not.

And by the way: I learnt of this trick from farmers themselves.

Red light cameras have been rules unconstitutional in my state and taken down fwiw.
For me, part of the sales pitch of splitting different workflows into distinct processes was that it often turns out that in a healthy system you need about twice as much hardware for Service A as you did for Service B, so if they are separate clusters (or separate pods) you can do that without wasting hardware.

Then I remember that half the time we only notice a problem with service A because service B started getting slower, and that it can take a lot of servers to make sure that you aren't "wasting" servers.

Sometimes a little slack can be cheaper. Sometimes side effects shorten the feedback loop for a group that has a bad habit of letting problems fester until someone on another team notices.
I think the reason is because Russia can still deploy tactical nukes and nobody is ready to bet on Putin's unwillingness to force Ukraine's hand in case the situation becomes unbearable for him.
No camera can compete against a phone for "post cat pic instantly", because a 10 year old camera phone can already produce a good enough picture and a phone has a cellular connection and instagram app to upload it instantly. A camera has to compete in the "better pictures" space.
Of course. But it can fix many artifacts like field non-uniformity and distortions (both spectral and spatial), which otherwise require more lens elements, precise production and exotic materials to fix. Software correction is typically slightly lossy, but it's a reasonable trade-off. Per-lens/per-body calibration extends this much more than it's currently possible with vendor-supplied profiles, but requires pretty complex and expensive gear.

> "...anything but the original intent"

We're only hearing about the "original intent" now, via a smug tweet in 2022. It doesn't say much about someone who insinuates people "don't understand the cascade" if they don't follow an undisclosed design spec.

And if they wanted it to be for font size only, they should have made it work only for fonts rather than any property.
Yes VRoom! with renaming has as many registers as it has commitQ entries plus the architectural ones. So 64/32 + 31 (integer) + 32 (fp) + 32 (vector)
> They sell their goods at multiple farmers markets.

Unless they invented some time-travel machine, it's impossible. Most farmers markets around these parts have similar hours: 9AM to 2PM or so.

So, if the farmer leaves the market at 2PM, where will they go? No farmers market is open after 2PM.

There goes your little theory.

Pro-tip: stop treating farmers like children who don't know what they're doing. You city people think you know it all, when in reality, you don't.

Sadly I have never seen a diversity initiative that tried to help creative students who weren't getting good grades, or any other way to help increase diversity of thought in physics. Taking the people of different colors with the best grades doesn't lead to the diversity you talk about, instead it seem to make the criteria we use for merit ever narrower in order to ensure fairness, so we are really going backwards.
Thanks for the explanations and the perspective! I'll definitely need to play around with Polylith :)

Never thought iPhone 13 has bigger battery than iPhone 13 Pro.

It's almost as if they deliberately added this seemingly bad option so people would choose the most expensive option iPhone 13 Pro Max. Because it would seem like the best deal out of three. I mean the Pro Max is just $100 more expensive than Pro, right?

But remove this decoy option, and most people would just buy the iPhone 13.
At least the illusion of trust. Much more valuable to market your past experience then privately give away your secrets in private.
I'm sorry, but I just don't think people use code like you're describing. In your mind, you see this:

hello := 2
hello * time.Second // oh no

But people actually use code like this:

hello := time.Second
hello *=2

People working with Go code (who know what they're doing), don't declare an int, only to immediately cast it to something else.
That's all true; I also think it's a wise choice to invest in your team for long term.

My point was to simply define a quantitative-value that folk who are not familiar with these costs could see as a minimum. Because "not hard" and $10k mean very different things.
Hoping to help those HN readers who aren't familiar and/or are planning on starting a company.
Excuse me? Focus is a property of the lens, no? I understand rapid e-shutter for dynamic range (kinda like bracketing then mixing in post), but how exactly is a single camera taking three focuses? Or do you mean the two+ distinct cameras being fused together? Because I don't think they do that (yet), but I could be wrong.

Personally, I like the control a more manual camera offers, but appreciate the quality of my phone's camera at times too. Generally, I agree, technology that tries to outsmart us feels out of place. Technology that tries to empower us feels just right.
For anyone interested, you should look into George Knapp's Hunt for the Skinwalker. It ties in with the were-mythos.
You need 3-5x exposure bracketed RAW to recreate most phone tricks, and there's no software that can do it. The big one is HDR photos in HEIF; "HDR" photo editing software does tone mapping into sRGB, which is literally the opposite of an HDR photo.

(I'm actually not sure why this is, since pro video workflows handle it. I think it's because phones and movie theaters have HDR displays but PCs don't.)

Presumably they can do something like deep fusion for noise reduction/superresolution even better than you already have from a real camera, but nobody seems very interested in doing it. Adobe can't even improve their image resizing for some reason (backwards compatibility?), when they come up with a new resizing method they have to put it in a different place in the UI and give it a silly name like "neural enhance RAW".

I live in a fairly dusty environment that also gets quite hot in the summers. I have to clean my i9 16” MacBook Pro’s cpu fan and heatsink every 3-4 months or else the CPU starts throttling. The MacBook Pro is relatively easy to clean. You just need to know how to remove the bottom cover and the fan plus heating assembly is east to access. But it used to be much easier with the older models. This Mac studio’s design makes it very difficult to clean the heatsink and fan blades. Also the heatsink looks like it has lots of thin narrowly spaced fins, something that will get clogged up really fast in a moderately dusty environment.

I was a tad surprised by:

> when a request was made through Google Takeout for the Google Account data associated with the apps used for testing, the data Google provided did not include the telemetry data observed.

That google collects it is unsurprising. That they deny having it is somewhat surprising to me.
While the role of Europeans in exacerbating existing tensions shouldn’t be overlooked, it’s incorrect to call the division between Hutus and Tutsis “artificial.” Tutsi were originally a herding class, and Hutus were farmers. Divisions and conflicts between such groups run deep throughout history in many locations. Eventually Tutsis became feudal overlords, and imposed practices such as a system of indentured labor that had to be provided by Hutus. The distinction was sufficiently developed that Hutu women were prohibited from marrying Tutsi men (presumably to control inheritance): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuhake.

It’s like when people say that the British created the tensions between Muslims and Hindus on the subcontinent. That overlooks the millennia of Muslim invasions and rule by sultanates (the process by which I came to have an Arabic surname despite being born 8,000 miles from the Middle East).
I'm normally pretty tolerant of Google's data collection because I've seen the internal privacy protections firsthand. Yes, some collection of ML jobs know everything about you. No, humans don't get the same access.

I suspect these would work much better on an SLA printer, as the result is a) homogenous/solid and b) much smoother than something off an FDM printer.

Unless you have chosen a "Fir" batch which is essentially what's going to be a next gen version, you should have already reached your place in the queue for the final, FCC certified and mass produced "Evergreen" batch at least a few months ago based on your order date. If you haven't chosen "Fir", then you should probably reach out to support, or check whether your address confirmation e-mail didn't end up in spam.
We always have attachments; the question is whether we've been guided into pragmatically useful ones. "Care more about everything" as a rallying cry is simply anxiety-inducing; too many of these things aren't within our control, in the Stoic sense. And in the way it's usually used, it comes with an implied political angle: care more about this group, not that one. This person should be deserving of access to resources, not that one. Always trust these people, not those people. And so on; a scramble to establish and normalize an order within society that positions groups A, B, and C in their "correct" spot, manipulating their identities into victims, heroes, or villains as necessary.

But the good actually comes from a place of strength. Carefully saving and deploying your own energy, willpower and resources allows you to contribute while protecting you from getting sucked into an impoverished state yourself. That kind of thing thing has very little to do with the political order, and a lot to do with personal conduct. And it's much harder to be taught personal conduct of this sort than to fall into some group identity; to be met with the messaging of A over B each day and say not "that's right, go get em!" but "I can't focus on this, I have to tend to my own affairs" while actually applying virtue to your affairs.
But the market is so efficient, it will find the best way soon enough.
I am very interested in this as well. Could even help us with endurance info for other sized cards (like regular SD, etc) if they are using the same chip manufacturer inside!
