Ah, yeah, company ethic lectures,pamphlets and statements. I love those on webpages.. right beside the company locations world map.

Love it, when they then have branch offices, that "exclude" one another - as in you can not be active in both countries, without violating a law of one, and obviously bribing yourselves out of that to be active in both.

At least they prevent some moral philosopher from starving, who got bribed to write this.

I don't know. If we are including suicide by cop and suicide attempts by cop, I think this isn't reducing suicide rates and isn't reducing the trauma some cops encounter (for the cops that care). I don't know how it compares to all suicides, suicide attempts, or suicides that didn't happen.

If you have those numbers, be my guest.

I'll still be for reducing ignorance either way, at best I might find it good parlor talk to repeat the concession about how the myth tricks people into living.

The absolute worst thing is false negatives. No tests should allow those. We can live with false positive to some degree. But we should nonetheless try and minimize the false positives since high false positives might do more collective harm than no test at all. What the false positive limit is, I guess it's up to society and the medical profession to decide.
Would love to see a benchmark comparing SQLite, DuckDB and this SQLite/DuckDB combo with the same queries and data.

Is this adapter copying the contents of the SQLite db into DuckDBs own memory layout in order to optimise the queries or is it just “proxying” to the SQLite library?

It's somewhat disturbing that you would claim I'm "victim blaming" by asking for details on what these "unsuccessful marketing musicians" actually studied. "Victim" is a wholly inappropriate word to describe being unsuccessful at something.

You initially added nothing to the conversation, except for a very brief and vague claim about how you may know some people who contradict my own experiences. So, I'm not sure what kind of response you were hoping for, but a little snark never hurt anyone, and you're overreacting to it.

If you have an actual example of a musician who studied marketing and business but was unsuccessful, I'd love to hear about it, because I've simply never seen it happen.

They claim that was adjusted for socioeconomic status.

Rather than being a matter of better access to health care etc, I suspect a reverse causation -- people who are in poor health are less likely to go out to the golf course. The same applies to Vitamin D, taking international flights, and reading books, all of which are correlated with reduced death rates.
I'm curious for those that work with NeRFs what their results look like for random images as opposed to the 'nice' ones that are selected for publications/demos.

> Usually a ~ signifies a bitwise-NOT operation*.

Only in expression context. C doesn't assign any meaning to ~ in type definition context, nor does it have an existing way to represent the concept of "any type reducible to X". Since it doesn't diverge from C in either syntactic or semantic meanings when considering context, I don't see this being an issue in practice. Any potential confusion argument you can lay onto ~ could also be used against |, but I don't see any mention of that being a problem.

I can't "disagree" with your reaction -- that would be silly even if I wanted to -- but I claim that you would likely stop suffering from increased mental effort as you read and write this syntax over time.

Why should they do it themselves?

Food is necessary for the public, but there aren't a lot of governments running their own farms. Or construction companies, power generators, or really anything else. The best possible system is where people create goods and provide services to each other, and the government ensures a system where this exchange can be fair and thrive. This is exactly what they are doing with this law.
Yes, but I think I was imagining a world without servers.

For example, you could update your IP address (for people to contact you at) by sending a signed message to a global DHT, or, for more privacy, put the address of your current rendezvous server in the DHT instead. The rendezvous server would be responsible for forwarding incoming connections to you, which you could refuse based on the public key of the initiator.

If the rendezvous server only stores a lookup between your public key and IP address, perhaps only in memory, for a few hours, before you switch to a different rendezvous server, that doesn't feel like having an "account" on a server.

I think with any tech demo (or other corporate PR piece), it is good to assume the worst, because companies spin things to be as ducky as possible. This is a self-reinforcing cycle, because if two companies have identical products, then the best liar--er, marketer--will win.

(not to say this sort of behavior is exclusive to corporate PR. as the best and smartest person ever, I would never need to exaggerate my achievements on a job application, but others may)
Precisely. Most of the points about where it doesn't make sense to use blockchains are valid (Social media, storing images on-chain, etc) but the critics themselves like to filter, dismiss and scream ALL of it as an entire scam, which is quite a dangerous assumption for them in the long term, but we'll see.

Who knows if the larger cryptocurrencies will still be around in 10 years time due to those criticisms or will they just adapt and fit in to better use cases? I also dislike the hype around NFTs as them being a marketplace for JPEGs but not all of them are like this. Perhaps 90% of NFTs will crumble with only 10% of them still being around that have a use case.

Due to a few of them having some utility, I certainly won't dismiss the whole thing or the technologies behind them. Otherwise we will see yet another HN crypto post with the same comments and dismissals attached to them.

I expect for them to easily ignore it since they are convinced it will completely collapse in the future. I'm not sure why they find it very difficult to do this but even I also think the majority of the hype will collapse too due to regulations, but the technologies (including blockchain) will still live on.
> even if you were 99.9% accurate, that 0.1% inaccuracy is compounded over time

Not really, with SLAM there are various algorithms to keep inaccuracy in check. Basically it works by a feedback loop of guessing an estimate for position and then updating it using landmarks.
This would be super useful for something I’m working on using datasette, querying across three tables with over 1.5m rows. Going to try the same queries on this tomorrow.
SAT scores would be positively correlated with success even if they were entirely random as long as universities continued to use them as a factor in admissions. It's sort of a corollary of Goodhart's law that it is difficult to assess the quality of a measure while it is being used as a target.
Long exposures can still have a duration censored. This is digital photography, not chemical. If you expose for 1 million seconds, you can edit out 60 seconds where a satellite passes. That data is forever gone, but you still get the rest of the data from that pixel time.
Hi chipx86! I remember "Gaim's An Instant Messenger" used to be on the old website but either google or my memory is failing me.
For many devices it wouldn't be "pain in the ass", it would be straight up impossible. There are millions of devices, like smart TVs, that are out of support and don't receive updates, substantially changing API would break them. It might happen at some point, but it would piss off many people.
Regarding the “late stage” segment, how does HN feel about AGPLv3 and the like?
Yep. The last company I was at was a Java shop. We had no need for containers. We built a fat jar for each "service." A deploy was little more than copying that fat jar + configuration file over. Multiple services easily ran without Docker.

This approach was way lighter weight than pushing enormous images around.

They represent the same value prop as any stock. Any company could go to 0 and the floor of the exchange is littered with delisted companies.

Amazon is big and the chances it goes to 0 are less than a company still making vcrs. The same can be applied to bitcoin.

Government and other contracts could be cancelled. The value of assets can be lower the debt. Bitcoin has no debt while a company like Amazon can have billions of dollars of debt.
Back when I was a kid, my grandfather got a hold of some of that many-pair telephone cable. I helped him separate out the individual pairs and wind them onto separate spindles. It made fantastic wire for electronics, given the sheer amount of color combos (first model trains, later breadboarding). I've still got a small bit kicking around here and there, but now remembering it fondly, I've got to wonder if it would be possible to find some more.
I am kinda skeptical, AI demos are impressive but the real world results are underwhelming.

How much it resources it takes to generate images like that? is this the most ideal situation?

Can you take images from the web and based on metadata make a better street view?

With all this AI where is one accessible translation service? or even an accent-adjusting service? or just good auto-subtitles?
Yes and that's a fundamentally different problem; I think this is because there is always some kind of state in a protocol. SOAP has this problem, and also YANG[1] and tools that try to replace SNMP. You can never abstract away the state that the consumer and producer of the protocol has. There are lots of tools to disect, debug, resend and parse network protocols like IP and TCP but in those protocols we know there is a state built in that can not be broken, so we do not build OpenApi for them.

OpenApi specifications that need three or four requests to reason with are a lot harder to work with than ones that are only one request, and these are different beast they become protocols. In my personal experience the binary specification often are protocols with a lot more implicit state in them, e.g. binary diff of in memory struct etc. You quickly lose the usefullness of Swagger the more state you have.

That said there are lots of good example of binary protocols that try to be stateless.

Conclussion: This blog post need to be scoped a bit better, what kind of binary communications do you want an OpenApi for and how is that different from what exists today?

As soon as you have to encode the state of the application in the specification of the protocol (like TCP above) things get really complicated.

I think implementing just the e2ee part of the WhatsApp protocol (which happens to be the Signal protocol with open-source libraries available) client-side and have a server-side bridge transport the encrypted messages over to WhatsApp and vice-versa is a sensible option not mentioned in that blog post. Yes, worst-case it means that for interoperability you have to create a bunch of message encryption routines. But we are effectively talking about iMessage and WhatsApp - Facebook Messenger doesn't do e2ee and no other company that built a widely used personal IM system is big enough to be covered by DMA.

Regarding moderation and spam: I think a company with €7.5B yearly revenue should be reasonable able to build something such that moderation and spam prevention are also possible with federation. Google already does a pretty decent jobs in spam filtering with e-Mails, I guess they should be able to do something similar with IM.
If that's really the case then they'll pull out of the EU market rather than comply with this law. Let's see if that happens or not.
This is a complex issue. Even with Crunchyroll, we were unable to stop all piracy or even get all anime translated since we can't force people to release their work overseas or on a subscription service. Scanlation and piracy will continue to exist for monetary reasons, availability, ideological, and personal preferences. For example, some people don't like the style of some official translations in terms of either the wording of the translation or the visual presentation of it on the page and will go to piracy to get a scanlated copy the matches their style. Though there is a path to severely reduce the amount of manga that isn't officially translated for series that are available for overseas distribution so that it can garner a fanbase. That reduced reliance on scanlations is what we are focused on.

What do you think owning something outright means?

(If i can own something outright while it not legally being mine, and me paying for its use monthly via a contract, you have a more flexible definition of outright ownership than me!)

With this definition, I own my home outright with a mortgage. (This is of course nonsense, and by definition owning outright means it is unencumbered).

"What about, to gain saner semantics (static typing) while retaining the portability and versatility of shell scripts?"

I think I was insufficiently critical in a misguided intention to be nice. Let me correct that a little :)

If the need is great enough for a DSL, then the need is great enough for python or c or any of 100 other fully fledged universally available languages, and either require it's interpreter or ship a binary.

However annoying it may be to require a ruby interpreter or something, there is essentially no case where the most sensible answer is this "Vala-for-sh".

It's the worst of all worlds. Taking the whole life cycle into account, it's not saner or portable or versatile, it reduces all of those.

If you ask most programmer, ~ is definitely not a bitwise-NOT operation.
No, because the label never had that power to begin with. They were always at the whim of social media and other factors. The trick is to not dedicate yourself to one platform, because they should all be treated as separate venues with different types of audiences (because they are). Social media sites are tools, not goals.
Right. That's what's impressive. They built the right tools, presumably during previous projects. The tools they built were useful enough to enable future work.

You may not know what tools you will need in the future but when you need a new tool you can build it in a way that it is reusable.

In other words a good tool solves an abstract problem. I don't need an Ikea-Bergmund-chair-leg-attacher. I need a screwdriver.

Once you have a toolbox full of these basic tools you are better prepared to tackle those future projects.

I don't really understand why NeRFs would be particularly useful in more than a few niche cases, perhaps because I don't fully understand what they really are.

My impression is that you take a bunch of photos in various places and directions, then you use those as samples of a 3D function that describes the full scene, and optimize a neural network to minimize the difference between the true light field and what's described by the network. An approximation of the actual function, that fits the training data. The millions of coefficients are seen as a black box that somehow describes the scene when combined in a certain way, I guess mapping a camera pose to a rendered image? But why would that be better than some other data structure, like a mesh, a point cloud, or signed distance field, where you have the scene as structured data you can reason about? What happens if you want to animate part of a NeRF, or crop it, or change it in any way? Do you have to throw away all trained coefficients and start again from training data?

Can you use this method as a part of a more traditional photogrammetry pipeline and extract the result as a regular mesh? Nvidia seems to suggest that NeRFs are in some way better than meshes, but according to my flawed understanding they just seem unwieldy.
Do you read manga? The books, in English, are still right to left pages.
Did you expect an army of whistleblowers? Aren't most whisteblowers solitary and generally disgruntled former employees?

One thing to consider is the tech industry is over represented by neurodivergent people that struggle with social interaction. What you're suggesting is not feasible for everyone.
What kind of large-scale evidence would convince you? The numbers seem quite clear to me. Cops arrest rich black boys as much as they do working-class white boys; punishments are harsher; the disparity increases as income drops.

In aggregate, the accumulative benefits of capital are denied them; black wealth crosses generations at a fraction of the rate white wealth does. In this sense it is hard to make a case for any black American being a member of the true capitalist class.

All the blood, sweat and tears we gave during the early 2000's to make FLOSS the standard, how we advocated for it on grounds of openness and auditability, how it would - and did! - help foster a local industry... All this work and see it being undone by the current government and their cronies.
