You don't even need anything that fancy. Traditional structure-from-motion, or visual odometry gives accurate enough position estimations.

If you want to experiment, take a bunch (~100) of photos of an object, and use COLMAP to generate the poses. COLMAP implements a global SfM technique, so it will be very accurate but very slow.
It's just sad they couldn't just sell the service itself. After all someone might acquire and maintain it.
An Overview

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. ("FCPA"), was enacted for the purpose of making it unlawful for certain classes of persons and entities to make payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. Specifically, the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA prohibit the willful use of the mails or any means of instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of any offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment of money or anything of value to any person, while knowing that all or a portion of such money or thing of value will be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to a foreign official to influence the foreign official in his or her official capacity, induce the foreign official to do or omit to do an act in violation of his or her lawful duty, or to secure any improper advantage in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person.

Since 1977, the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA have applied to all U.S. persons and certain foreign issuers of securities. With the enactment of certain amendments in 1998, the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA now also apply to foreign firms and persons who cause, directly or through agents, an act in furtherance of such a corrupt payment to take place within the territory of the United States.

The FCPA also requires companies whose securities are listed in the United States to meet its accounting provisions. See 15 U.S.C. § 78m. These accounting provisions, which were designed to operate in tandem with the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA, require corporations covered by the provisions to (a) make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and (b) devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls.[1]

I'm not a lawyer, but at worst it's starkly clear to me that this runs afoul of the law. Might I suggest it may be the awareness of it is the something you are missing?

Just the other day I was watching the classic Sydney Pollack thriller "The three days of the Condor", with Robert Redford, and I was thinking they treated NY phone lines as extremely accessible. At one point, Condor somehow gains access to an exchange to make a call to his opponents, and proceeds to make his line appear like coming from dozens of different addresses, all with a simple tape recorder.

(it's also funny how in that movie Redford is supposed to be a hippie ubergeek forced to turn into an action hero - when he's clearly coolness personified)

> You can stop writing after this, you've already agreed with me that class is not the sole driver of material inequality.

It seems like a category mistake to talk about class as "driver" of inequality.

Class is a _type_ of material inequality. So it can't "drive" material inequality. Right? What could that even mean?

Maybe this is taking "class" to mean something like birth class, like inheritance, or parental status... which then it actually does make sense... but that's not what the word means at all in Marxist terminology. It's not what leftists are saying at all.
At least when we did anti corruption training for Microsoft China, the emphasis was on government employees, but that could also apply to grad students with stipends and anyone working for an SOE. So you can tip the doorman as long as they aren't working for the state, but you can't buy a grad student lunch (without pre-clearance anyways).
Awesome! I will follow the development and try it out!

Any plans to open source it? Is there a roadmap? My guess is that you’ll be adding custom font support (some unicode isn’t support by mainstream fonts and you can probably find a niche by supporting minority languages). also i suppose you’ll be adding bulk export to common comic book formats like cbz or cbr?

OP: I don't use Google products because Google collects a lot of data.
Also OP: I use Amazon Echo instead.

Setting aside whether or not OP even works at Google, did you ask yourself: what basis does OP have to suggest that Amazon or Apple don't collect similar amounts of data?

Solidworks now has a version for makers that costs €100/year. IMHO, that's a completely reasonable price for a tool of that caliber.
You're far too pessimistic (or maybe you don't know the field well). The problem
of estimating the relative poses of the cameras responsible for a set of photos is a long standing and essentially "solved" problem in computer vision. I say "solved" because there is still active research (increasing accuracy, faster, more robust, etc.) but there are decades-old, well known techniques that any dedicated programmer could implement in a week.

If you're genuinely curious, look into structure from motion, visual odometry, or SLAM.
I didn't say it was impossible. I said it was nearly impossible, which is a synonym for "hard" for some value of hard.

Case in point: I looked into Agda and ended up in a deep rabbit hole that involved something I had never heard of called "Walther recursion." Whether this qualifies as "nearly impossible" or merely "hard" is quibbling over terminology, not substance.
You are technically 100% correct, however the bultin object system in Javascript is so bad that a reasonable argument can be made that it's not particularly accessible or ergonomic to many of the folks who actually write it for a living.

I know lots of folks here on HN are super highly competent, and this contrasts with my IRL experience with colleagues who are less passionate about programming and just want to do their job- these folks aren't going to be teaching lessons in proper usage of objects in JS.
Typography Preserving Reader Mode
It seems like there is a lot of security in just physical stuff. A car that needs you to use a key to unlock the door vs a signal that can be intercepted. A scrap of unimportant looking paper containing passwords vs a compromised password manager. It makes the attack surface so much smaller since, unless you are some VIP, chances are no one is going to ever root around your home for internet account passwords on scraps of paper. Software used by thousands of people presents an attractive target given the work vs reward ratio is so much more favorable, and imo its not a matter of if, but when, these systems do end up compromised.

Maybe security in the future starts looking less like obfuscated software solutions, and more like simple analog solutions that ultimately require an operator on location, and are therefore too expensive to carry out to the scale that electronic crime has taken place in the past few decades.
Why am I not surprised. Microsoft operates in all the sketchy countries.
I am well versed in the shell, perl and python.

I first learned the shell, and pretty much stuck to it conservatively avoiding bash extensions.

Later, I learned perl (around version 4)

my first impression of perl was annoyance.

$foo = 123;

seemed silly because there was a dollar sign on the left side of the assignment.
and... $foo, @foo, $', $_, s/abc/def/;

all the syntax seemed needlessly cryptic and reinforced the "perl is a write-only language" idea in my mind.

But then something happened.

At some point all of these idioms went away as I became fluent and could think in perl.

Because there were many ways to do something in perl, I found that it
become VERY easy to get an idea in my head out into working code.

So perl was to me my most expressive language.

But what I've noticed is that many people haven't overcome the syntax barrier
and perl looks like line noise to them. More worrying is the fact that everyone
can get their ideas into perl, but because people solve problems so differently
their perl can be vastly different from what I am accustomed to.

So a few years later I learned python. The indentation requirement was a minor
annoyance, but that was quickly overcome by the consistency and visual structure
it added.

A more major annoyance was that many things were harder to implement in python.
Regular expressions is a huge one - they are a major feature of perl and I had
learned to use them liberally.

Yet I persisted and with help from the many "batteries included" with python, I
was easily writing portable maintainable scripts in python.

And they were still readable after 6 months.

Now I write only small shell scripts, and past a certain size all other scripting
is in python. It's quite easy to write meaningful scripts in python. (I've pretty much lost my fluency in perl via python -- I fumble around now looking at or modifying perl scripts)

by the way argparse is quite easily my favorite import in python.

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(argument_default=None)
parser.add_argument('-d', '--debug', action='store_true', help='debug flag')
parser.add_argument('-c', '--config', default="~/.config", help='config file name')
arg = parser.parse_args()

if arg.debug:
print('config file: %s'%arg.config)

I don't mean to critique the creation, but nobody would bat an eye at an identical solution printing the issues on a normal A4 desktop printer.

The thrower gets to asses if the answer was a good one, or a bad one or just mediocre. This has no effect on deserving a payout as long as there was a genuine effort to respond the question. It does however influence the scoring (karma) system with which the catcher is directly compensated.

The general rule is that answers that are subject to refund are answers that fall into 2 categories 1) it’s gibberish/trash/unrelated content (for example someone that repeatedly copy-pastes the same paragraph with no relation to the question hoping to earn money), and 2) offensive content (anywhere from trolling, racism, misogyny, etc).

As for your second claim, yes, you pay regardless if you find it useful (unless of course it’s any of the two categories I previously mentioned).

And the reason for this is because getting a large pool of diverse and unbiased data puts you on a better informed position and may open your eyes to angles you wouldn’t have considered otherwise. Regardless if you dislike them or disagree with them.

You’re not always going to hear what you want to hear…
Alternatively it becomes a play to thwart Chinese cultural ascendency. If you make a set of rules that a film’s cast an crew must have certain demographics which are only really attainable in the US, then it would exclude pretty much all East Asian cinema from winning best picture. Parasite won a few years back, but it could be made ineligible based on its homogeneous racial composition. It is hard to beat America when at a diversity contest, reframing the rules so that the contest is about diversity may have strategic benefits.
(Re)Vanced is an app, dealing with googles backend.

They can either change the youtube app, to break Vanced, but this can be mitigated by not upgrading the youtube app, until there are patches for the new version,... or they can change the backend, thus breaking all the older youtube clients, making everyone upgrade their clients "now", which is a pain in the ass for many people.
On the other hand, if network errors could be debugged by bribing foreign officials, I'm assuming there would be a lot of rather rich foreign officials.

Thanks for the comment. See calculation breakdown added in a few threads above. Some of our thoughts about the carbon negative part:

Paper mills captures CO2 from trees (that are sustainably harvested, more trees planted than harvested p.a.) of which parts of it is released after some of the lignin is burned (inefficiently) for fuel. If they stop burning lignin for fuel, they need other energy sources, and then the question is how the paper mill chooses to do this:
- The mills can choose to burn fossil fuels, get a renewable source, or buy electricity from the grid. We will only source lignin from players serious about sustainability and green alternatives (industrial broilers could also use green hydrogen), alongside prioritising maximised energy efficient operations
- Even if they get electricity from the grid, the world is moving forward and we’re luckily reaching a point where additional capacity in the grid is coming from renewables, while fossil is decreasing - boosting new renewable buildout more

What’s very important in what you point out is that when we expand our lignin supplier base, we need to be careful in selecting our suppliers, understanding their alternatives and understanding our Scope 3 emission effects to ensure it aligns with our mission of saving the planet :) And that's what we will do - ensure that this ends up on the right side.
Because that nets Sony an extra $150/unit (assuming Best Buy pays 1/2 the unit price). But Sony's customers feel cheated. Customers can handle not getting a unit via a "fair" practice, but they resent the rich explicitly getting better treatment for things like that. Also, they cannot plan a budget. Right now, if you have $500 you have a PS5 eventually. In your world, they buy an Xbox or spend it on something else because they don't want to keep saving and getting priced out.

But keep in mind consoles are all network effects, and the real money is on subscriptions and commissions on games. So, Sony gets a one time pop in revenue, fewer units lead to fewer exclusives, leads to more people selecting XBox in the future.

I think MS was willing to lose a billion on the first Xbox to get sufficient traction. If we discount inflation entirely and assume that was a reasonable value, Sony would have to sell 6.67 million units to be equal to the cost of losing a console war. And they could always end up pulling a Sega.
Interesting article. I think that, without deeper insights into machine learning it will be very difficult to make it better. At best, like the article says, we can guess why it made its decision. But we really don't know for sure. It seems like we will end up tweaking algorithms until we get the 'best' model, but will it ever be truely correct. Or just happen to be mostly correct. Does it really know what its looking for, or does it just guess correctly most of the time.
Calling machine learning 'it' is probably already a step too far.
Since there are various values attached to getting a CVE published, they just aren't always of the highest quality. Lots of "vulnerabilities" which are actually impossible to exploit or irrelevant in other ways in a real attack scenario, other low quality or misrepresented issues like we might be seeing here.
I don't know of a word for it. It's just a fact: GC simplifies code because it liberates the programmer from having to figure out when memory can be safely reused and transfers that responsibility to the runtime. It has next to nothing to do with any other aspect of language design, except insofar as if you have GC then your language can get by without any mechanism to allow the programmer to free allocated memory. This observation has some pretty significant practical impact, but you can't say much more about it than that.

No, don't leave anything up to consumer and manufacturer to figure things out. First of all, it not two way relationship, it is manufacture, insurance companies, consumer, other participants on the road and government in two capacities: as a an authority that sets the traffic rules and an another authority that maintains road infrastructure. These relationship is highly asymmetrical and tilted against the consumers, which asymmetry contract law won't work as expected.
This article has a bad "pop science" feel to it. The correlation between grip and survival is probably solid enough, but it's hard to avoid the nagging feeling that people who have a strong grip are probably stronger and healthier overall as well.

The article goes on to recommend grip strengthener and I strongly suspect that better skeletal-muscular health in general should be the goal.

I wonder what happens to most people when they see innovation such as this. Over the years I have seen numerous mind-blowing AI achievement, which essentially feel like miracles. Yet literally after an hour I forget what I even saw. I don't find these innovations to have a lasting impression on me or on the internet except for the times when these solutions are released to the public for tinkering and they end up failing catastrophically.

I remember having the same feeling about chatbots and TTS technology literally ages ago, but at present time, the practical use of these innovation feel very mediocre.

The distinction is meaningless to me. There were companies in the dot com bubble which had extremely high valuations which went bust as just one example among many. These stocks were not softly constrained at all. It was pure speculation and it happens all the time.

I don't think it is right to call growth speculation "intrinsic value". The only thing that is truly intrinsic in my opinion is profits. But profits aren't a good way to measure value of an asset. Because the asset (stock in this case) is separate from the company itself. A company could generate slim profits and not grow each year. That has intrinsic value to the employees and customers. But that does little for the stock.
That doesn't track with what I've read ... Unitary Executive Theory for instance.
There are reasons people don't pursue activities outside of work because they only require a minimal amount of interaction with people or they don't have time for socialization outside of work. Conversations with clubmembers won't be appreciably more meaningful than conversations with coworkers.

A benefit is that your social circle exists independent of your job status but you've got to do it on your own time.
