Luckily, driving away with the vehicle is impossible unless you are able to mimic the PKE system, which incorporates a 4 way handshake. There has been some research where a similar system was broken but I haven’t had the chance to try it on the civic.
Exactly this. Design is always a compromise between discoverability and post-discovery efficiency. Programming languages are the extreme case of the latter; literally everything requires a reference, but once you’ve got the reference memorized you’re invincible.
I knew there would be some layer cross-cutting prioritization. It's interesting to hear the exact details.

I assume there's no way to specify different QCIs for data packets or even the whole connection ? That's all specified by the closed source radio firmware?

If I'm reading things right, it implies that IMS (eg modern SMS/MMS running over IP) actually uses a different data channel that gets a higher priority? So when one is entering hostnames in say APN setup, all that traffic is going on a different channel? And thus one probably can't just enter their own server info to self-host text messages (modulo obtaining network identity/connectivity) ?

Sounds like a bad test. You are not supposed to fill your head with details like what color shoes your teacher was wearing.
As a ruby dev this completely makes sense to me based on the Java developers I have worked with. I'm willing to bet he also never even considered jRuby as a happy compromise, also basing this on my experiences with the Java developers I have worked with
I have deployed and run Cassandra myself, basically as you describe.

The first 'dev' Cassandra install was three nodes. I downloaded the .tar.gz, installed it, started each process in turn on each node with the required configuration.

That was 2012 and there is a chance that cluster is still running. It was low-volume in terms of data. TTL configured so it would never run out of disk. Never had any issues in particular. I used it for ~5 years before concluding work with that client.

The problem in that case was Cassandra proliferated in that small company, they didn't build any particular expertise beyond me, and in the end I was being pulled into discussions from different teams, different products, split across about 13 clusters. Wasn't much fun - but that wasn't the DB's fault.

Paperless billing is such a nuisance. I get too much email and I'm far too busy, so anything in the email queue is quickly forgotten. I don't have the time or energy to be re-reviewing emails every day for bills that might be coming due soon.

I try to get all bills on paper. Then I just write the due date on the envelope when it arrives and keep them sorted by due date in a neat pile on my desk. Impossible to miss a due date that way.
Facebook Messenger originally used XMPP, and for a while, you could use it with Jabber clients, Pidgin, Adium, etc.
No, they mark it down as $69,000 and then show the "insurance negotiated" rate underneath. They do this regardless of whether or not you are paying out on of pocket. If you are uninsured they do the same thing but the discount is for "self pay" or whatever. It just seems kind of stupid but most people just see the insurance rate that applies to them when they are paying out of pocket in the deductible range. It's propaganda/manipulation.
Where Counties Are Growing
Guys guys, the whole article was written just to feed traffic to the website selling the hand exercise devices, including the scam powerball thing, which was a cool product when it came out, but for years has had such poor quality control that the devices always stop working after about two hours of use.
In the general case, this is the point where medicine arrive at both a medical and ethical problem. The biopsy and further tests both involve some non-insignificant risk to the patient, as does overtreatment. If 99% or even higher number of patients are false positive, and the biopsy has a risk of causing significant negative sides, at what point is testing doing more harm that good?

This is the general argument against testing for prostate cancer in non-symptomatic patients. If you only test patients that has symptoms then the rate of false positives goes down. The downside is that you only catch late stage patients where treatment might be too late. The alternative (which is used for mammography) is that for every person saved, an order of magnitude more will be permanent harmed by unnecessary surgery.
On the other hand the Play store is not being policed for days tracking and many apps are stuffed to the brim with tracking libraries.

So they really don't have a need to do this.

Apple can still make it difficult for them though. They can just remove the forbidden APIs and sandbox apps better. If they do this they don't even have to bother to review as thoroughly anymore.

The big benefit is that Apple no longer gets to decide what type of apps are allowed and what aren't.
2010 was a great time. Adium for universal chat and XMPP federated services. You could find almost every movie on Netflix still. You could tell the difference between buttons and labels in UIs, and few hamburger menus were to be found. You could still get AppleWorks. Firefox wasn’t trying to sell you stuff. Televisions didn’t come preloaded with spyware. Truly, it was a great time, but we have to build our cyberpunk future today.

At least we don’t have IE6 any more, so it’s a fair trade.
You could equivalently say that a rational actor would never sell any equity or property that was appreciating faster than inflation.

A deflationary currency would only be one of many different investments, and people will buy and sell based on their expected gains and risks of other holdings.
Whoa this is a great idea! One of our founders, Evan, is studying with WaniKani right now and he would love that. Thanks!

Seriously... the idea of living a quadrillion is hardly an extension of 100. You can still never go backward. You still need to plan your life. Death would still be a common occurrence.

> Something doesn't become more ethical just because it's described as an act of protest.

Agreed, but fighting back is often seen as ethical when unwarranted aggression is not.

In the case of this “protestware”, they’re both fighting back against unwarranted unjustifiable war AND doing no direct harm. They’re free to restrict who or where their software may run. They’re also free to include a boobytrap for anyone who doesn’t respect the license/restriction.
We had some cleanup to do with our custom reader to support this but we cleared that hurdle and have full screen support on our roadmap!
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into them and maybe we can figure something out.
> It shouldn't just be limited to messaging. An internet where everyone can built a client against Facebook's API, or Youtube or what have you and users get actual choice and control about how they consume those services would be a big leap forward.

Or a wonderful leap backward, in the most positive sense.

In these days of proprietary wall gardens everywhere it might be difficult to remember, but earlier in the Internet that was how things worked. Every protocol was public, documented in RFCs and all implementations were interoperable (barrings bugs/etc, but mostly anyway).
It looks like an F1 score is calculated from precision and recall. Sensitivity and recall are the same thing, but precision and specificity are different things.

Precision is not a good way to describe a test because, as I mentioned elsewhere, it relies on information about the population being tested.

NERF is a very active research area, and the progress from 2020 to now has been nothing sort of astonishing. In 5 years, I expect there to be fully generative NERF's in research i.e describe a scene, and a NN produces a full 3d scene that can you interact with.
May be worth trying Amazon-- it shows if you search there. Not going to give Bezos the satisfaction of the actual link to the product page, though.
Dropbox requires a kernel extension to work
I was installing dropbox via homebrew and I was prompted with the message "dropbox requires a kernel extension to work." and also a Warning "No checksum defined for cask 'dropbox', skipping verification." that there was no checksum to verify the file.

I'm weary of installing apps that require access to the kernel or administrative access... should I be concerned?
Even worse, you'll likely have spent these five years on the golf course.
You could train the initial model in sim and do sim2real finetuning. Someone must be working on this already
I did it for a project… it was SLOW! Gave decent rules for a large area, but poor results for small details.

The real trick is textures.

When the photo is laid over and wrapped on the model, it looks great. But once you remove that, the raw mesh underneath is not as impressive.

I would really like to see the examples they had here without the texture laid on top.

> First of all, 63 PB is nothing in terms of cloud storage

Not sure why you would compare it to cloud storage, because it's not. Storing files in Filecoin is more like making deals with people who offer space on their hard drives (which as far as I know, doesn't exists besides Filecoin). It also doesn't make sense to compare it to something like S3 as again, it is not cloud storage.
With this - and with all the footage on actors you have (their movies) - then you basically have all actor's models.
Russia starts military drill on disputed islands off Japan
"...The Russian military said Friday it has started a military exercise involving more than 3,000 troops on a chain of islands including those disputed with Japan, Russian news agency Interfax reported.

It is the first drill on the disputed islands off Japan's northernmost main island of Hokkaido since Russia's Foreign Ministry announced earlier this week it will suspend territorial talks with Japan. Russia is withdrawing from the talks over Tokyo's sanctions against Moscow in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.

Some hundreds of military vehicles are participating in the drill under a scenario of launching a counterattack against enemy forces attempting to land..."
for any college students here - indexes 120+ of the top learning / study sites - chegg, quizlet, etc. to understand homework problems, prep for exams, etc.
Yeah fully agree. It's a big ask. Reading my comments again today, I made it sound more negative than I should have. It would be awesome to have that, but often unrealistic.

About bottom up training, I'd also love to have some extensive training on app security too. I know some basics, but learning some more systematic security testing would be cool.
Not even a full 3-D environment is required, just a bit of 6DOF and parallax would go a long way. I think VR videos (ok, porn) has gone as far as it can without head tracking.
Checking the Wikipedia article, for every woman saved there is 10 women who will get unnecessary surgery and 200 that will get to go through extended testing.

It would be interesting to know the mortality rate of unnecessary breast surgery. I would hope the number is less than 10%, but I suspect it is not an insignificant number of people. Net beneficial, but definitively controversial.
Announcing updates to Learn Ada website
That's just for debugging Hammurabi's code.
I get that's the insinuation, but there's a leap the reader is expected to make between "this middleman made a lot of money" and "bribes were clearly happening" without further investigation. If a car salesman convinces me to pay more for a car than someone else pays that doesn't mean someone was bribed; the rest is a matter of degree.

I get that bribery happens, and I get that the SEC stepped on Microsoft employees for bribery in Hungary. I also get the impact that bribery and corruption has on lives. None of that is material to what's being said about this situation. In fact, it's relying on the reader's passion to make these leaps.
Can it be done with Google's existing Street View data?
So this 366-line script compiles into 588 lines of shell, 2,229 lines if we count the parts that seem to come from the imported modules. That includes a lot of auto-generated names like `_cotowali_tmp_166` or `first8b04d5e3775d298e78455efc5ca404d5` and replacements for built-in shell functions like `eprintln` or `rm_r`. In fact that script seems to use `eprint`, `eprintln`, `println`, `print`, AND `echo` which seems a little much.

It would have been nice to see something more transparent, e.g. a type-checked extension to shell, like TypeScript is for JavaScript. Something to make it easier to write correct shell scripts, but would generate understandable, editable shell scripts.

So that's why retirees who have their money in investments that constantly increase in value over time never spend money?

Come on man. This argument is patently absurd. I expect better from the HN community.

The only thing an inflationary currency does is wipe out the savings of the poor who don't have knowledge or the privilege to invest in harder and/or income generating assets.

Tangent question from a layperson: are we surrounded by photons? say im in a room, ive turned on a light bulb, and now I turn it off, where are the photons?
I'm like your acquaintance. Did mechanical engineering, worked for a few years and realized the jobs around here doing mech eng kinda suck and the pays bad. In software now and sure, it's not hands on as much as I'd like but I earn enough money now to live comfortably and work on my own projects at home in my free time. For me it was a priority shift. Earn more so I can provide for my family better and then use the rest to work on modest projects as hobbies. Or earn less so I can work on mechanical projects but not be able to provide the quality of life for my family I'd like.

That is exactly the point. There is nothing inherent in an Xbox that prevents it from running a web browser. Only our collective acceptance of the practice of denying users control of their devices, and letting these arbitrary restrictions contribute to e-waste.
Bs. People do different things. But nobody can sit around wallowing in the VR. Having seen what death of my cousin and grand parents did to the family, moving on helped every one heal in a way. VR would have been a torture to live in.
The risk of injury in ejection is quite a bit higher than most people expect (typically over 25% towards 50% for older tech ejection seats). It’s still a way better scenario than riding it in.

It is not uncommon for an ejection to end a pilot’s tactical jet flying days for medical reasons.
Given the same amount of compute as this used, photogrammetry would be about as fast.

They hypothesize two reasonable mechanisms for increasing health:

>Stronger hands grip tighter to prevent falls — and brace stronger when you tumble.

Why Democracy Stalled in the Middle East
Without any intent to take away from how cool this is (seriously, it's awesome) I do wonder what kinds of applications need this sort of capability.

Surviving a reboot is a very specific capability. With no hyperbole intended, who needs it?
The writing system (Syllabics) is quite simple [1]. The languages that use the writing systems, like Inuktitut, Cree, Ojibwe, and Oji-Cree (aka Severn Ojibwe; the language in the article) are not related to English and are difficult to find comprehensive resources for online.

The only 'NFT' that has a use-case so far is ENS [0] and domain names on the blockchain. The JPEG NFTs (which don't have a use-case) have captured the hype of the critics and that will likely collapse in the long term and those NFTs are what the critics will just keep talking about.

There is a product that is using it for identities already: [1][2] I can see businesses using ENS or similar solutions as a way to replace those long hexadecimal names into something readable, so that say; merchants can use it for users to donate / pay towards verified names e.g: (myshopname.eth) and not accidentally pay to a random address like 0x123..cdef.

I won't be surprised to see even reputable payment services like Stripe, BitPay and Coinbase Commerce use something like ENS for the verification part and do the same thing in the future.

Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: The Latest Stage of Capitalism
Graph Attention Networks (GAT) in 5 minutes
I mean, this is the parent posts point; the use case for a static photo or a static 3d nerf is pretty limited.

With other structured data compositing and animating is relatively trivial.

It turns out that people have approached this problem before and you can composite nerf too (1) by sampling different functions over the volume.

…but, let’s not pretend.

The complaint is entirely valid. You’re taking a high resolution voxel grid and encoding it into a model.

Working with simple voxel data let’s you do all kinds of normal image manipulation techniques, and it’s not clear how you would do some of those with a nerf.

Practically speaking, the applications you can use this for are therefore reasonably limited right now.

This has a POSIX layer so it's not free of 'unixisms' by design.

I agree it's a always great idea to explore new ideas from zero without any conceptual baggage. I'm sure that unix-like OSes will still have a lot to offer for some usecases though.

Disturbingly for a forum which is constituted of Assange-like-minded hackers and cypherphreaks, the anger shown towards him on here is always surprising, no small thanks to the work done on Assange by his enemies.

For anyone who's not read this already, I've found the following to be the most eye-opening analysis of how Assange came to be framed as a more divisive figure than he actually is:

> «A murderous system is being created before our very eyes» A made-up rape allegation and fabricated evidence in Sweden, pressure from the UK not to drop the case, a biased judge, detention in a maximum security prison, psychological torture – and soon extradition to the U.S., where he could face up to 175 years in prison for exposing war crimes. For the first time, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, speaks in detail about the explosive findings of his investigation into the case of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Maybe NeRFs can be used as an intermediate step to reconstruct the scene, and then extract the surfaces and their materials to more conventional representations like meshes, textures, refraction index, etc. I guess the main benefit is that it fills in the undersampled areas in a scene, whether that's an occlusion, a reflection angle, or something else.

My main problem with them is that it seems as if all the data is unstructured and interdependent, not like pixels, voxels, or similar where you can clearly extract and manipulate parts of the data and know what it means. To use your photograph example, a digital photo is a simple grid of colored points, and it's easy to change them individually. A regular 3D scene is a collection of well defined vertices, triangles, materials etc, that is then rendered into a digital photo using a easy to describe process. A NeRF on the other hand seems to be more like enter camera pose => magic => inferred image.

Maybe I'm overthinking it and it doesn't have to be as general as out current formats, maybe a binary blob that can represent a static scene is fine for plenty of applications. But it feels needlessly complicated.
Oops. Thank you. I need to be more careful.
I immediately think of profitable applications

Another comment mentioned education: I take classes, formal education, for things that are immediately applicable for me right at the time

So its pretty consistent for me

Another thing that might be different is that I don't go for perfect or good enough, or worry that an existing alternative like "having an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem" might already exist, I just go for novelty and am selling to people that also like novelty
Too many. I wonder if it's by choice.
You can just make a mesh once you have the NeRF, which is plenty fast for VR. (What's important isn't new perspective generation but scene training. New perspective generation doesn't have to be real time just within a reasonable time to preprocess and then make a mesh.)
