Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out. But one needs to know that there is an invisible widget (at least I see nothing at all there, after it has faded out) to hover over. I certainly had no idea.
The other aspect of this subject that I am interested in, is the idea of a virtual focal plane. With an array of cameras (or if you have time instead of budget, one camera moved about), you can align the images, and select for a specified focal plane, which can be in almost any angle relative to the camera.

Lytro made a camera with a series of microlenses inside that captured a lightfield. As above, this allows focus shifting AFTER the photo was taken. The camera itself had no focusing mechanism, it was fixed... all the focus was in postprocessing. You never had to worry about a blurry shot.

Once you get into this experimenting with cameras in different locations, you start to consider Photogrammetry, the measurement of locations by photograph. With a sufficient knowledge of the lens used and a rough idea of location, of each picture, you could assemble an array of images of an object over time, and measure even small shifts in position. Like, for example, brick walls shifting position as buildings settle, etc.

Denmark (~1% of the world population) has been doing quite well with it's 2GW of wind, powered by "modest average wind speeds in the range of 4.9–5.6 m/s measured at 10 m height." With a mean January temp of 1.5 °C (34.7 °F), wind covered 47% of yearly electric in 2019. (71% yesterday). Plans on 84% by 2035. It also has 1GW of solar. They got started early, and it shows. Too bad for heel-dragging Texans.

> We’re sure bananas would be fine served as a vegetable, or with bacon, but this is certainly not the role we would assign to them today.

Yes, these are also not exclusive and many jobs evolve, of course. If you think up something people want and build it, you might then spend time improving it. Or you might let others do that while you go back and build something new again.

You get to choose what you do. And as another commenter suggested you get to choose your values too.

Use your time.
> While working on open-source projects might be tolerated, even on company time, it makes sense that it won't put you on a path to promotion unless there is direct benefit to the company from it.

The thing is - this is all theater. It's mostly made-up storytelling. An individual engineer's self-review doesn't actually speak to their direct impact on the company's success.

It's fallacy to act like you can map commits to dollars. But there's a lot of money to be made by HNers for trying, so I'm sure they'll act like they can do the impossible.
Atleast someone's working on it.
A fun consequence of this is that running a python script that doesn't have the shebang will mysteriously hang with a crosshair cursor until you click the mouse. When the shell encounters the first "import foo" line it tries to run ImageMagick's "import" utility which tries to take a screenshot of the selected window.
I remember reading an account by a German soldier in WWI who had just taken an American trench and in it he found a fresh Apple Pie from Boston, and he immediately knew the war was hopeless.
Ask HN: Why are map apps so bad at figuring out direction when not moving?
When I'm not moving, Google Maps (and similar) are terrible at figuring out which direction my phone is facing. This is particularly annoying if you're just getting in your car and need to figure out which street to turn onto.

Doesn't the map use the phone's built-in compass, which should be reasonably accurate even while not moving? What prevents the app from knowing the phone's orientation accurately while stationary?

Always been curious about this.
This is really cool. It would be nice to have a way use custom audio, but I really like the range of visualizations and the interface. (one very minor issue is that the scrollbars seem to intermittently appear on firefox when dragging sliders)

edit: It would also be cool to see the visualizer's current estimate for the BPM.

2nd edit: Is the shader code for the visualization's available anywhere?
Basically we can use the error-returning pattern from Go in typescript for great good. And since typescript has more expressive type checking, we can accomplish it without polluting the namespace with err1, err2, err3... Best of both worlds.
I think part if it stems from how multidisciplinary a game studio can be. In my experience, visual programming languages allow people with minimal programming experience (artists, designers, etc) to implement ideas. Im willing to bet onboarding someone with a visual language like Unreal’s blueprints is a much better time than trying to teach them C++. I also find prototyping, especially collaborative prototyping, to be easier with visual languages; its easier to “follow the fun” when all it takes is a drag-and-drop to change some logic.
Thank you for the advice friend, and well wishes to you and your family.
Not uncommon in the US to have bananas on pancakes, but the bacon -usually- is served as a side (unless you're getting an "Elvis", which would have peanut butter, bacon, and banana, which I have seen as a waffle or pancake option).

But to the article, bacon wrapped bananas, standalone, aren't things any more.
Is there really that much exotic toxic stuff necessary in a rocket? Starship is made of steel and the fuel is already abundant. (Liquid oxygen and methane) Sure the engines are made of fancy alloys and such but those are reusable. I guess I don't know what the thermal tiles are made of or where that comes from.

There's also kinetic launching - address the bootstrap problem by concentrating an amount of fancy metals and such in one giant motor that can be reused many times.
Whether you admit to having seen a problem before is up to you but make damned sure you are able to keep your story straight if you don't. We had a candidate say they hadn't seen one of our warm-up problems before when explicitly asked only to later find out that one of our folks had accidentally used the same question for the phone screen. It's never a point in the candidate's favor if there's suspicion that they lied about something.

Really though, if you think LeetCode style questions aren't worthwhile but the employer does, there's a big cultural mismatch between you and them already. Simply go elsewhere and both of you will be happier in the end.
I didn't word this well -- I do cook most of my meals from scratch (and have my entire life; I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten McDonald's or most other chains).

What I meant was most prepared foods, even ones that are ingredients themselves: our entire food supply chain is built around uniformity, shelf stability, etc. constraints in ways that have fundamentally changed how things combine into final edible products. Tomatoes that are all the same size, for example, or the fact that I can leave peanut butter in a humid cabinet for months without worrying about it going rancid.

How it's done?
My work is heavy serverless and nobody I work with has had any luck with Localstack, myself included. It's just too limited, fragile, and buggy to work for anything we do. Our stack isn't anything particularly unusual either, it's just that if you are using Lambdas heavily they are probably tied in with a whole bunch of other AWS services in ways that are hard to replicate locally; and Localstack just isn't up to the task.

While there are some nice benefits to serverless workloads on AWS, local development and reproing production bugs are major weak points.

Besides the references to his company which has customers and a product that already works on these principles the literature currently shows that this is very much possible if you dig into the correct niches. Besides the SOTA in few-shot and meta-learning it is possible to smartly choose the correct few samples for the network that yield the same results.

You make some very good points. But creating and maintaining a credible and safe nuclear deterrent is VERY expensive. I think the trick to convincing people they don't need it is to not go around invading other countries in the first place. Mexico doesn't have nukes despite the US easily having a half-dozen reasons it could trump up for "regime change". South Africa gave up their nuke program (I REALLY need to study this one, it's on my To-Do List). Right now we are witnessing Ukraine shatter the Russian military, a pretty good endorsement of conventional deterrence against invasion at least for everyone else who is concerned.
I think they have the same issues as any other popular science publication, where they are trying to tiptoe between making it palatable for a general (math/science inclined?) audience and people familiar with the field, and end up in an awkward middle ground.

While I'm not a massive fan of their writing, they cover quite a few interesting topics. I generally find clicking straight through to the paper/research they are covering is a much better use of my time.
Is there a compass in the phone or is this derived from the gps cloud and relative motion? I assume there are accelerometers that let the maps deal with tunnels…
I agree with your last sentence, but of course we can't instantly redesign any road at any time, and so there is a standard, orthodox method of setting speed limits which is the 85th percentile of the speeds people actually drive at.

From a random document summarizing the process:

"With the definition of 85th percentile speed, it would seem that the signed (posted) speed limit of a street would be highly influential in determining the 85th percentile speed, however the exact opposite is the case. A deeper dive into 85th percentile speed helps to reveal why it is a major consideration in determining a street’s posted speed limit.
As described above, the 85th percentile speed defines the speed that 85 percent of drivers will drive at or below under free-flowing conditions. Most people don’t drive according to the posted speed limit, but account for the visual aspects of the street and a ‘feel’ for the street. The visual factors that influence speeds can include:

• Lane and shoulder configurations, widths, and presence of curbs

• Presence of vertical and horizontal curves

• Sight distance and obstructions

• Presence of surrounding developments to the street

• Access management characteristics and medians/turn lane configurations"

"This uniformity of vehicle speeds increases safety and reduces the risks for vehicle collisions. When vehicles deviate from a standard speed, either faster or slower, the potential for crashes increase, whether caused by a slow car in a rear end collision or a fast car completing lane changes to maneuver through slower traffic. By setting the speed limit to the 85th percentile speed this uniformity is achieved and safety is increased."

I wasn't satisfied with Jekyll and other similar implementations, so I wrote my own in an afternoon with the actual posts made up of markdown stored in GitHub Gists.
Indeed, I used to write specifications about my products and services which could be turned into an RFP and it was interesting to see our own capabilities returned to us in the form of a question. The downside in that small industry was that when a competitor saw a question that aligned with our unique product offering, they knew we were in the mix.

As for white papers, on the networking and security side, we wrote our white papers with the IT and Security Professional in mind. We were respectful fo their knowledge, vocabulary, and spoke at a high level of complexity; i.e., we didn't dumb anything down. The introduction to the paper clearly indicated that we would be using terms and concepts familiar to such professionals and that they were free to contact us with questions.

Generally the paper would be handed to someone in their engineering / IT department and when the time came, they would agree that having our service on their network was a non-issue.

Know your audience and treat them with the respect they've earned and deserve.
This is 100% valid. Unless you personally influenced the RFP and have a champion who has told you you’re the preferred vendor, it is a guaranteed waste of time.

If a small mass has this much complexity, interacting small masses should be vastly more complex. And by moving slowly I bet a lot would be time based as well.

I think it's pretty likely a collection 10x the size would have much more than 10x the complexity due to the interactions. In the same way as a quantum computer, the state of each collection of cells is not quantized because it has many analog values at different ratios and interacts in complex ways with the surroundings.

Of course by this logic a collection of phytoplankton is complex because I'm sure they all have chemicals they excrete. But I also kind of honestly think a rock is conscious by any reasonable definition, so I know I'm not the one who should be drawing the line...
OK so selectivity is causal to difficulty, everywhere but at the school you attended? Are you sure you didn't study law, because this kind of insane logic is something I've only read in legal briefs.

FU money is often defined as having enough money to not have to deal with crap. But I think most software developers really have that kind of freedom. They might not have the money to never work again, but many can just quit jobs they don't like and eventually end up at one they do.

As someone who was a founder/manager, it's often the managers who have to appease devs. We've seen people who just... don't work and they still don't get fired. Because there's too much work to do and finding a replacement might take 6 months.

If your goal is freedom, then starting a business ain't it. You no longer have to worry about your rent. Instead, you worry about salaries, office rents, unit economics. You stop sucking up to your boss, and start sucking up to investors and customers. Most startups have a runway of several months, at which you get fired by the market, and have to fire everyone in the office. In the early stages, you also can't afford anyone decent, so you're still doing everything yourself or dealing with the cheap side of the market. If you're burnt out as a salaried employee, you take breaks, unpaid or paid. As a founder, all breaks are unpaid and they always lead to more undealt problems when you come back.

But starting a business and getting rich within 10 years is practical and repeatable. Just follow the playbook: https://playbook.samaltman.com/
Ok, I am not looking for an argument but based on this response, I don't think you understand the critique at all. You keep using these words like democratic power, and it's not clear to me that you mean anything other than "things I like."

It’s fascinating how much this can change if you find a good source for local stuff. Tomatoes go from uniformly-sized red food pellets to a huge variety of sizes and colors with a lot more flavor to them.

"GE produces world's largest recyclable wind turbine blade" (2022)
https://newatlas.com/energy/ge-worlds-largest-recyclable-win...

> The 62-meter (203-ft) prototype blade is made with Elium resin from materials company Arkema, which is a glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic. Not only is the material 100 percent recyclable, it is said to deliver a similar level of performance to thermoset resins that are favored for their lightweight and durability.

> Through a chemical recycling method, the material can be depolymerized and turned into a new resin for re-use, acting as a proof-of-concept for a circular economy loop for the wind energy sector. Before that happens, in the coming weeks LM Wind Power will start full-scale structural testing to verify the blade's performance
Right, but they can achieve the same with managed kubernetes.

I am not sure what management overhead you are referring to? I.e. what do you "manage" (as human) if you choose a managed kubernetes offering [e.g. digital ocean or linode] (Vs open stack) ?

Also, I am not sure that hardware utilization issues has any relation to kubernetes? I.e. you would have this problem regardless?

In general , my own moto is that if you do not use kubernetes, you would end up writing it.

I'm also in the industry as an artist, level designer and gameplay programmer and have shipped games in Unreal 2, 3 and 4 and Unity, and you'll never convince me that creating boxes and wiring them up will ever be as good as text at expressing game logic and game rules.

I can understand why you might want to use it for shaders. (but not really)

And when it comes to placing volumes and marking up the scene I'll absolutely want visual gizmos.

I genuinely believe that if Epic had taken all the effort they put into blueprints, and put it into a text based programming environment, game designers would be more productive.
An aside, but can someone explain to me the use or utility of ligatures? To be frank people who use them seem like those who change their i3 layout every few months, they seem/feel like a gimmick to me. I hope that isn't too harsh, perhaps I can be convinced they have use.

Ligatures remind me of the symbols in APL. There, I can see sort of a use if your language requires it but generally in the terminal? I don't get it.
