For sure, a relationship of honesty and trust is a good default. And I'm not saying he shouldn't do that. However, one thing that struck me about the article is how hard he took his daughter's disappointment.

On the one hand, I'm familiar with that feeling, because I hate disappointing my own children. On the other hand, I've also recognized the inevitability of this, because even without encouragement, the kids form unwarranted expectations are disappointed somewhat routinely.
How many users submitted the form vs how many users reached the form's page won't tell you anything about why they left or how long they struggled before submitting.

A beacon sent for each click on links on the form's page will tell you how many users left for this or that other page, which is very useful to know and optimize by removing the link and/or bringing its contents to the page itself.

A beacon sent for each form submission attempt will tell you how many users make mistakes while filling in the form, how good the error messages are, and whether the users tend to fix their input or leave.

Bonus points for incrementing an "attempt" hidden field on each submit button click so that you can see how many attempts it takes for all fields to be filled correctly.

Tracking what works and what doesn't can drive a lot of UX improvements, for the immediate and measurable benefit of the user.
> Sorry, but it's dross! It's the kind of work the guy in the art shop up the road churns out, and sells to the ignorant locals in my town.

I want to chime in that I think this is not only technologically impressive, but also societally significant for exactly this reason. DALL-E isn’t Picasso, sure. But there’s a lot of dross artists out there. And dross writers. And dross coders.

When DALL-E and its ilk start to set the floor in these industries, it’s easy to feel as if we’re on the precipice of a world (or at least an economy) fundamentally different from the one we know now.
> Just knowing at all times, without need to look at anything, the directions to mission objective and back to base would be useful.

You are not going to get direction from GPS sadly. You could have it from differential GPS but I can’t imagine a way how to do mount a long fixed baseline comfortably on a vest.

That's exactly how I feel as well. I blog for my own benefit. If anyone else finds it useful, too, that's great. But it's not the goal.

Because it's a niche feature barely anyone will use or is interested in using and so they have nothing to say that would be on topic. But, this being HN, people still use the post to piggyback on with their issues or requests regarding Thunderbird in general.

Actually, this happens faily often. Each time some popular project gets a post like "php 8 released", "net 6 released", typically, what should be discussed is the theme of the release, new features, changes etc., but what the top posts end up being is just people arguing how php is shit and java/kotlin is better than net yadda yadda. Seems to be natural in open discussions, also happens on Reddit.

You make an excellent point even though some might find you obnoxious. Art cannot be judged out of context, and knowing this was generated from a few words by a complex training process of mimicking absolutely kills it for me. I think in fact the discussion here should be “look, machines can mimick us very well, nice!” but it somehow turns into “wow machines are making art!” No, they are not.

I do not think so (but the Kickstarter has not started yet).
The imcumbent cabinet and politburo are going out of term later this year and a new list of names needs to be appointed and rubber stamped by the upcoming 20th CCP National Congress. The government essentially operate in caretaker mode for several months before the congress and any major policy reversal would be taboo as it could disrupt the political horse trading happening in the background. This is just not the time for course change.

Ironically, a very similar situation played out in Wuhan . By mid December 2019 it was very clear that a deadly respiratory disease is in the community but the politicians were too preoccupied with the ongoing provincial party congress. Nobody in power was willing to take a bullet for announcing a pandemic until their posts are confirmed and secure. The rest is history.

That one. He is a classic, old school communist romanticising Leninist revolution and declaring western cultural expansion some kind of failure, while simultaneously forgetting the premise of his essay which was that western values caused the war in Ukraine, rather than the obvious aggressor nation.

He also claims that west vs east recidivism is somehow NATOs fault, which isn't supported by the facts of Putins increasingly oppressive and belligerent regime.

In short: he is a "i liked it better before" fantasist, not uncommon amongst conservative communist apologists. No mention of the gulags that revolution required.

There is no point celebrating Lenin era LGBTQ social changes that barely lasted a decade. The wests have already lasted 50. What his essay is attempting is equivocation, giving Putin some kind of weird historical justification for murdering Ukrainians.

If you start from the premise that a much larger portion of the vulnerable in the US have already been infected, the expectation would be that the gap will only ever narrow, so the direction isn't really an indictment of the policy in Australia, you have to look at where things end up.

"These days Sesame Street is paced and programmed to fit microscopic attention spans"

This was the first thing I noticed watching an old episode of Sesame Street back to back with a new episode. The pacing of the show was too fast. The camera kept cutting, the puppet jumped from location to location, there was no time to think. And educational shows need to give the audience time to think, otherwise it's just passive entertainment.
Encarta was awesome. It felt like it had a wealth of information on a cd-rom. It was quite magical in the early 90s. I miss those days. All of it.

My definition of kind is somewhat different, then.

The comment I replied to clearly stated that OP was missing "clarity about yourself, your own motivations" when OP had made that perfectly clear and even took action once they had realized it.

These projections are imho not "kind", nor "constructive, and non-judgemental".

But YMMV.

Just for experimental purpose, you can try disabling all UI animation to make ui interactions instant [1], and perhaps disable ALL antivirus and their filesystem filter drivers as they make all disk access slower [2] (including windows defender, you can re-enable it again after you're finished messing around).

Besides the statistical anomaly at the end (probably a one time correction for some past cases) the US death rate has always been higher. So the gap has been widening until now. Look at cumulative cases.

Only the derivative of the gap, the daily deaths per capita, has been narrowing. I agree that the daily numbers should become similar when prior immunity due to vaccination or infection becomes similar (all else being equal). But that does not erase the huge amount of deaths before people got their first vaccine.
Thanks for your reply! Faust is a great project, and it is really versatile.

However, I have checked some generated Rust code from Faust and found it relies on some unsafe blocks there. My concern is if one wishes to use Rust for audio, it doesn't make a lot of sense not to control all the details and make sure of the safety in detail.

The other concern is the incompatibility of license. In Rust community, MIT or Apache are more popular for further usage.

For VST, Glicol can run in vst and support sample-level control:
https://youtu.be/yFKH9ou_XyQ

Still a POC for now, and I need to make the input working. But I am not very optimistic for many use cases in VST. I think two main goals for Glicol is collaborative live coding in browsers and quick prototyping on Bela.
Eh, the people of Paris might win against the globalists, you mean. The people of Paris might elect someone who seems to have the interests of Parisians in mind. It's eerily reminiscent of Trump in 2016... an outsider wants to do a bunch of stuff that the average person considers totally obvious common sense, and the leftist media is uniform in its opposition, terrified that local people might succeed in electing the person who promises to do what local people actually want.

Abstract:

Humans perceive light in the visible spectrum (400-700 nm). Some night vision systems use infrared light that is not perceptible to humans and the images rendered are transposed to a digital display presenting a monochromatic image in the visible spectrum. We sought to develop an imaging algorithm powered by optimized deep learning architectures whereby infrared spectral illumination of a scene could be used to predict a visible spectrum rendering of the scene as if it were perceived by a human with visible spectrum light. This would make it possible to digitally render a visible spectrum scene to humans when they are otherwise in complete “darkness” and only illuminated with infrared light.

To achieve this goal, we used a monochromatic camera sensitive to visible and near infrared light to acquire an image dataset of printed images of faces under multispectral illumination spanning standard visible red (604 nm), green (529 nm) and blue (447 nm) as well as infrared wavelengths (718, 777, and 807 nm). We then optimized a convolutional neural network with a U-Net-like architecture to predict visible spectrum images from only near-infrared images.

This study serves as a first step towards predicting human visible spectrum scenes from imperceptible near-infrared illumination. Further work can profoundly contribute to a variety of applications including night vision and studies of biological samples sensitive to visible light.

Good diagnosis, terrible treatment.

First, haven't we learned already that any government regulation always ends up favoring the status quo? FAANG will be able to eat those costs right away and make it impossible for any competitor to rise up

Second, what happened with personal responsibility? We can still choose to patronize companies that do not rely on ads, we can still promote/fund the development of Libre Software that is focused on the users' welfare and not the corporations' bottom line. Most of us here on HN can even help other less tech-savvy people to avoid falling into those traps and educate them about less invasive alternatives.

When you say "the government should do X", you imply that we can not do it ourselves. And we pretty much can.

This is a weak assertion without proof. You can either agree with it, dismiss it or you can question the basis for it. Real logic is entirely useless here (for many reasons), but guessing the basis is logically flawed is perfectly reasonable for humans having a conversation.

Using pedantry to shut down differing opinions isn't useful.

The SEC is expected to announce ESG rules for companies this year for Type I, Type II, and Type III emissions. You might find opportunity there down the road. Nonprofits like the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) currently fulfill the role of emissions reporting to an extent, but the SEC rules may standardize and may add more value to their reporting even if it changes the nonprofit's operations. These accounting rule changes will require public companies to report their climate change risks and emissions, and to provide assurance regarding those risks and emissions. By assurance, I mean that auditors will need to come and audit their environmental reporting. You might try looking into that.

I honestly can't recommend going to work for a Big 4 accounting firm, because you'll find better hours and pay elsewhere. You might want to check out cloudaccountingjobs.com. A lot of small and growing firms are offering SMB consulting with a financial team to do cash flow projections and financial modelling that you might find interesting at places like High Rock accounting.
Product or project managers are non-technical roles that are adjacent to technical roles that you might find interesting. Business analysis is always hiring. I'd suggest doing a couple of internships to explore your interests.
One reason checked exceptions are a not great is that library authors would like you to implement their interfaces or extend their classes, but they've decided that you can't throw anything :)

Zig actually does pretty well on this front. you can write a library that accepts functions that return errors, and your functions will be specialized to return those errors in addition to their own if you don't handle them. Callers who want to handle errors exhaustively with a switch will get compile errors if the error set changes and they fail to handle new errors.
The article is proof that investors were correct. Stock prices are a present value of future earnings. In 2020, after the stock price had already tanked due to COVID and the bailout was announced, investors thought future earnings would increase. They bid up the stock price to acknowledge that belief.

At the time Disney+ was losing money, but the pandemic and the bailout were indicators that the steaming business would take off (it did). Their huge content backlog had them perfectly placed to manage a production shutdown. There’s also the 21st Century Fox acquisition that was Closed in 2019 and gave them more content.

If investors expected future earnings to grow more than current losses (which were already priced in by the market), then it isn’t wild for the stock to bounce. A year later, their earnings pretty much prove it.

We could also go into the calculations of why the value of recurring revenue (streaming subscribers) is much higher than the value of non-recurring revenue (park visits).
