As everybody never tires of pointing out, freedom of speech isn't unlimited nor does it apply to non-governmental actions. Can't get your jollies off yelling "Fire!" in a theatre. There's judicially accepted hate speech definitions. Also, what one says has consequences.

>Unless it's prefab house(aka modular home), it's gonna take you at least 6 month from the signing the contract of getting a lot to the house fully built.

Fully aware it's going to be a 1yr+ long process. But after going through the housing market gauntlet and flat out refusing to do the insane stuff it takes to even get an offer accepted now (waived everything, 10%+ earnest money, etc., etc.) I couldn't care less about the wait.
> The most effective method, though, is time.

Rather than waiting I'd suggest families try to find a therapist they can all visit for counseling together. There may be a broken relationship in a kid's past that can be mended, and that won't happen without understanding where the problem began. The kid isn't going to be able to tell you offhand where he went off the rails. It takes time to build a trusting relationship and share traumatizing stories.

> The author of the article is one example

It seems presumptuous to conclude the author never went to therapy or did not have further discussions with his parents that helped him move past the trauma. Maybe he says more in his book [1].

> there are many more in these comments

I haven't seen any suggest that waiting for time to pass is a solution for years of feeling "a blur of misanthropy".

> The key is to try to limit the damage of the "troubled" phase. If you end up going to jail in your teenage years because you act out, you're going to have a much harder time building a life for yourself later on.

It almost sounds like you would suggest parents bail their kids out of trouble so the system doesn't mark them as "bad". Maybe you're not saying that (if not, how would you "limit the damage"?). Anyway, I think parents covering up their kids' behavior, thinking it's just a phase, is exactly what gets kids into this pattern. People don't grow out of habits, they grow into them.

Note for the confused: the "observer effect", as in modifying a system by poking it in order to measure it, is not the same thing as the uncertainty principal. Evidently, somehow, Heisenberg himself got the two confused (?!) which is why when I learned about it by fucking reading Heisenberg ("surely this will be accurate") I ended up thinking the two were basically the same thing.
But can they pass muster with HR for a developer gig? I can pass their coding test for them, but will they ever even get one without some sort of degree or other that makes them look like a fit for the role? That's why I was thinking bad developer.
It is their right, but I share your sentiment.
How are you building your code ? Here's my iteration time when working on the main codebase I'm on, https://github.com/ossia/score which is very template-heavy, uses boost, C++20 and a metric ton of header-only libraries: first on some semi-heavy file and then on a simple one https://streamable.com/hfkbzg
It also says

This is going to come off as glib but the W3C has no relevance anymore, it exists to give the WHATWG the stamp of approval on it's RFCs. It's like the grandfather you give deference to but hasn't been relevant in years.

They may still "control" css and xml (not sure the exhaustive list) but I don't understand why those haven't been moved to WHATWG as well.
AI in medical imaging has been very limited and ineffective thus far.

A) I think it's too early to make a call here. The first big paper for AI in medical imaging with modern methods came out in 2016, and we are just now getting large scale prospective studies where algorithms outperform specialists:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/article/PIIS2589-7...

My institution pays for an expensive lesion detection / mammography CAD software package but it generates so many false positives I don’t use it in my practice. Overall having to review an extra n pseudolesions per scan results in decision fatigue and increases my miss rate, at least in my experience.

B) Totally agree that old CAD has not been effective, and this has created a huge trust gap for the new generation of technology. The new generation of technology using deep learning is also easier for anyone to create so it will take some time to separate the good from the bad.

There are several issues with AI when it comes to radiology that I can’t address with a single comment but given your question my biggest criticism would be that we don’t have a sensitivity problem in medicine. What we have is largely a specificity problem, but that’s inherent with imaging which is not a ground truth representation of a physical entity but rather how this tissue attenuates photons (for mammo).

C) This claim seems overly broad. If we can improve sensitivity it can certainly be a good thing. That being said, improving specificity in an assisted read scenario seems almost impossible in my experience, because if a doctor is convinced something is cancer, no output from an algorithm is going to get them to downgrade. We did an analysis on exactly what was going on when our algorithm would give a lower, non-recall score vs. a panel of radiologists, and we found that the most common situation was missing that a lesion was a scar. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-019-0447-x

It turns out that radiologists will in general not look at a lesion from all different possible reconstructions in 3D, because it's too time consuming. But sometimes there is only one reconstruction/view where the scarring is obvious. AI obviously does not have this issue, so in principle it is certainly capable of improving on specificity and this has been seen in many peer reviewed retrospective studies.

As I mentioned, the issue is how to make this happen in clinical practice where assisted read is the only option that will be tolerated for deployment for at least the next 5-10 years. In that time period, I think the only thing we can really hope for is a boost to sensitivity without impacting specificity. I believe eventually enough strong evidence (prospective observational multi site studies) will accumulate, and the algorithms will improve enough that for something like mammography, at least a portion of the reads can be done without a radiologist. This is probably the only way we will see improvements to specificity AND sensitivity in my opinion.
You're right. Lifting a coffee cup with poor ergonomics isn't going to cause any injuries. Typing for hundreds of hours over many years in a poor position can lead to problems such as RSI.
Actually it is, and only a very strict and damaging protestant work ethic would tell you otherwise.

Oh, you meant that those poor workaholics shouldn't exhaust themselves by overexerting over too much work? With that I can agree. But taxing those producing the most so as not to leave behind those who have received fewer gifts, inheritance or good contacts? That's how you build a civilization. If only because those producing the most are also those receiving the most from their peers upfront.

Why specifically nonlinear dynamics rather than starting with just dynamical systems? Curious because, in my expereince when studying control theory, nonlinear controls is usually one of the courses that is taken later in the sequence after a lot of linear control techniques.

Sibling commenters have already pointed out you're confusing OpenSSH with OpenSSL.

For additional context, since the gp mentioned that:

> the OpenBSD folks, who have a shockingly good track record

Not only is OpenSSH a BSD project, but so is LibreSSL (the OpenSSL fork that was a response to Heartbleed). Before LibreSSL, BSD folk were also working on assl - similarly an OpenSSL alternative motivated by the BSD guys having concerns about OpenSSL's codebase. So they very much have a solid track record of being pro-actively on top of this type of stuff.
Articles that engender good feelings, either by revealing a positive story or reporting a positive event, do not receive nearly the same level of engagement.

Anger sells. Outrage sells. Media companies have known it since the dawn of the newspaper. Bad news generates anger and outrage, hence all news is bad news. It's a natural consequence of the human condition.

Never hear anyone suggesting we start charging people who lied on their loan applications even though it was rampant.

People frequently would say they were going to make $X/yr where that number came from the amount of money they expected the home to go up, not actual income on a W2. Banks were selling the loans so they often didn't care to get real documentation of income either.
Yes! And unlike nearby problems you know you can't really do anything about them. How many people in the US would read a national story about crime or education without knowing who the police chief is of their city, or who is on the school board, or even who is on their city council..
With the error initialized to zero, this algorithm will always step immediately after drawing the first pixel, which will cause that pixel to "stick out".

y += 1; // y == 1
err += 2*y + 1; // err == 3
x -= 1; // x == radius-1
err -= 2*x + 1; // err == 2-(2*(radius-1))

You could compare the absolute value of the new and old error, or start with err = -(radius-1) instead.

And you don't need calculus to come up with the algorithm, just simple high school algebra: (x+1)² - x² = 2x + 1.

Claims about AGI without hard scientific backing make you come across as pseudo-intellectual, not smart. If you have actual evidence then articulate it or just don't bother replying at all.

I would not think it "Relativity-hard" to make a case against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Similarly, unless some clothing or other consumer item shows up real soon now, and they stop mixing the Z-flag with the Russian one, that shouldn't be all that hard, either.
wholly liked the article until it became a pitch....another platform isn't going to fix this issue. it's a deeper routed issue that stems from the inherent designs of the system and the roles people play within it.

it's not fixable from within the system

I love Johnny Cash, but it always annoys me when songs made famous by other performers and later covered by him become referred to as Johnny Cash songs. "I've Been Everywhere" is actually a very unique example of this since the original version is actually Australian[0] and was re-written with U.S. cities and became a hit for Canadian-born country singer Hank Snow [1].

The other song that routinely gets attributed to Cash is "Long Black Veil" which was actually originally performed by Lefty Frizzell [2]. I would argue the Frizzell version is the superior version in every way. Lefty had an incredible career and is sadly not very well known these days.

For anyone talking about the freedom of speech here, you should know that nazi symbols are also prohibited in Germany. So basically what's happening here, is russian invasion and it's symbols ("Z") are being equated to nazi.
This might be difficult for Americans to understand, but the freedom of speech has certain lines that cannot be crossed in Europe, and it's mostly about clearly hateful symbols and/or words. You just can't put a swastika on your sleeve and expect no repercussions in Germany, like it or not.
There are plenty of pay-to-win games, but LoL is not one of them. LoL has cosmetics, and pay-to-progress, but there's nothing you can buy that will give you an advantage in-game over people who play for free.

Unlocking new characters with RMT is not pay-to-win, because all the characters are obtainable for free without requiring unreasonable effort. You're not forced to get them from random lootboxes like Gacha games, and having every character doesn't give you an appreciable advantage except at perhaps the highest level of play.
"People have told me they work best under pressure"

What I have learned about this phrase is "I work best when I am hyper focused on a singular <event, issue, project, task> and that is usually associated with being "under pressure" that causes us to slide into a state of hyper focused thinking.
> Sure you can claim being apathetic/ignorant towards global current events makes me a bad person, but I do not care.

100% agree. The Media complex is the one that keeps pretending news is important-- its like a drug dealer saying drugs are important.
Oh sure, building an isolated Qt instance is quick.

But adding the Yocto overhead (entire bootloader, kernel, and then fetch/decompress/build all the packages) takes a bit more time. And Qwebkit isn't trivial either.

Once Yocto has it all in sstate-cache then it's only like 15 minutes for a total rebuild.
> A theoretical system that _perfectly_ tests only "are" could be more secure than a "have" && "know" system, depending on your threat model.

That circles back to the right against self-incrimination part. And a biometric system on its own (without the "have" part) seems like it could be done without verifying intent by just pointing a remote version of the same sensor at a person.

> Also the large number of DLC makes it difficult to determine what set I may have do give a canonical experience or if it is even viable gameplay wise.

I like this about Paradox games. When you buy a DLC, it doesn't merely expand the game, it totally alters it. I can see why people don't like this, but sometimes, a total reimagining of a game is fun. Especially in strategy games.
I'm in your camp. I'd posit an additional piece of my thinking.

I feel like gaming, even with microtransactions, is probably one of the most affordable pieces of entertainment you can have.

During covid, the height of my old-man gaming, I was probably playing an hour or two each day and 4 hours each weekend. That's about 700-800 hours a year I play. If I spent 200$ in skins on COD's battlepass, that is still an incredibly cheap amount of fun I've gotten for a whole year when the entire world was closed and I couldn't get out and have fun. I really don't see why people complain so much. Coin-operated arcades were literally a microtransaction model from the 70s and 80s!

I'm paying 25 cents an hour on a game with a lot more labor involved than an old arcade game.

Going to repost something I wrote up earlier on a similar topic, regarding how games are changing their designs to push players to buy things.

“The worst part of this trend to me is how many games sacrifice their identity to fit the mold that is now most profitable, it feels so soulless. This is all from my own experience/memory.

Every game needs live service, seasons, and a battle pass. While I appreciate that it can keep the game fresh and evolving over time, I think a lot of times its harmful. Sometimes a relatively simple game is blown out of proportion over time and id almost rather a stagnant game. Furthermore, gameplay can suffer too. In my opinion R6 siege started really strong, but has gone downhill recently, most obviously in operator design. Real power creep is sometimes an issue as well, somewhat recently I remember there were one or two operators added that felt like almost direct upgrades to base game ones. In its case, both the art style and operator design suffered from being stretched out for so long. Or RDR2, who sells most of the content through their premium currency and whose movement between the single player and online is so drastically different that fights online look like smash bros melee matches with frantic strafing and rolling. Compare this to titanfall 2’s design, which has remained stagnant (because it was killed a long time ago), but incredibly successful maintaining a large player base to this day.

Cod and pubg have sacrificed their art style and aesthetic, MW went from “realistic” tactical characters to jigsaw puppets and neon, out of place outfits. It’s like power creep, but for ridiculousness, skins have to get crazier and crazier because sometimes it keeps people buying them because its funny. It fit in fortnite because it was cartoonish and ridiculous from the beginning, but through MW and CW lifespan you can see the art style gradually decay. These game aren’t really meant to be taken seriously, but it always kinda put me off. Not necessarily making an argument about my taste, but rather how the games stray more and more from their original vision, driven by micro transactions.
Battlefield has thrown out their traditional classes for specialists following in r6 and other hero shooters footsteps, part of me always kinda felt like it was to sell skins for each specialist, but I might be wrong here.

This isnt the biggest deal, especially not within the games industry, but frustrating to see innovation slowly be stamped back into the mold. There are many games that hold true to their visions or fill these voids especially in the indie scene but the state of AAA gaming and how it molds to the market is a little disappointing to me.”
It's still an improvement over writing CFN templates by hand!
MTUs are fun. We (live video streaming platform) were recently investigating issues with users having trouble watching our live video streams when using a VPN. Since we're using WebRTC on the viewer end we thought immediately it was just some WebRTC "protection" trying to not leak the users IP.

Eventually we figured out that Open Broadcaster Software has a compiled configuration of a max MTU of 1392 for the UDP packets we're sending. Generally this is fine because most routers have a default MTU of 1500, however when coupled with some of the VPN technologies, it ends up pushing the MTU over the limit and the video packets get dropped.

Overall MTUs seem to be slightly a not well understood thing, because answers on the internet wildly vary for appropriate ways of handling it. The consensus from some Google/WebRTC folks seems to be that 1200 is a safe and fast default.

> Anyway, 1200 bytes is 1280 bytes minus the RTP headers minus some bytes for RTP header extensions minus a few "let's play it safe" bytes. It'll usually work.

That's exactly right, although if you take the Fourier transform of that modulated signal you'll see that it uses infinite bandwidth due to the square-wave modulation steps at each half second.

That can be sent through a narrow bandwidth channel, which will filter out the higher harmonics. But then, as the Fourier transform suggests, you'll see at the receiver a different signal, with rounded edges instead of steps in the modulated amplitude.

Those half second intervals set what's called the symbol rate to 2sym/s, and the Nyquist frequency for them is 1Hz.

If your channel bandwidth (the filter) is > 1Hz, the information will still be there in the modulated, filtered signal to recover, but you'll have an interesting time doing it if the bandwidth is close to 1Hz.

If your channel bandwidth is < 1Hz (the filter strictly removes all frequencies above 1Hz), you won't be able to recover all the transmitted bits.

I recommend building a demodulator and varying the channel bandwidth to get an intuition for how it gets trickier to demodulate close to 1Hz. Note that making the strict bandwidth filter is also quite an interesting challenge, especially close to 1Hz; this is called a brick wall filter. Doing the Fourier transform on the entire signal before and after filtering is a good way to visualise the bandwidth taken by a modulation scheme and the effects of a channel, and to see if it's correctly removed everything above the threshold frequency. Modifying those Fourier values in the frequency domain then using an inverse Fourier transform to construct a filtered version of the entire signal is a good way to construct an ideal filter for testing the demodulator.
Exactly. Then divide the saved time on things you can learn from, that you enjoy or to prep for things that can for your advantage (e.g. G-jobs).

Depends a lot on context. Here in Chile, you can't be a poindexter with technicalities when people whose dictionaries were incinerated along with all their other books tell you of their uncle's (usually uncles) tragedies. But in this context, HN, it's fine.

And you're right in many ways. So in fact the way Chilean human rights lawyers nailed some, but not all, of the military (but not civilian) torturers of the coup despite their amnesty when the military lost power, was by saying, well you have amnesty, but you don't have the body, so you can't prove you murdered him some time ago, for all we know he's still alive and you're kidnapping him to this day, so it's an ongoing crime, so you're still on the hook. Maybe his family is right in hoping he comes back any day now. And you deliberately wanted the family to hope that, you had decades to tell them you really were terrorising them. Or maybe you weren't, maybe he's in some attic in a jail somewhere, caught in a secret passage in a dungeon (real life dungeon adventure! real secret passages, traps, monsters, minibosses and final bosses!) but you lost track. Oh you looked twice? Look again! Looked again? Look again!

And the subtext is "fuck you, obviously you're an asshole. You put remains into the subduction zone, you must accept the consequences of your actions, if you want to see the light of day again you'll have to take a submarine and then dig, dig with your hands and nails you piece of shit, until you find the body and bring it back. And don't resurface until you find it. If you don't like that, maybe you should have given him a funeral and informed the family of his death."
