Although Pinata offers a SaaS service where you pay them monthly to pin and they charge for bandwidth, web3.storage lets you pin 1 Tib for free and without bandwidth metering. So I pinned there, and then got the hash and found the gateway+cdn with low ping time and just concatenate the url, which I hardcode in the frontend

note, I append ?filename=filename.extension to the url to keep track of which hash is what

ironically Pinata is also a gateway that will show any hash for free

then I just deploy the whole project/frontend/backend to github and that auto deploys to netlify and the domain name routes to that instance
How does solar produce substantial power in northern and southern latitudes for several months of the year? How about at night? How about during long cloudy periods? Solar usually ends up with carbon based backup. It should be nuclear instead. For solar to really work, it will take massive energy storage capabilities. That is NOT ready to deploy. Until then, solar will only be a partial solution at best.

Anyone who wants carbon free power generation should be pro-solar AND pro-nuclear.

Ah, yes. The same “states’ rights” used to subjugate black people with chattel slavery should now be repurposed to subjugate women by robbing them of bodily autonomy.

Your 15 weeks bit is actually where I expected this to go. Robert’s, who I genuinely believe is aware of and concerned with the perceived legitimacy of the Court, I expected him to broker a compromise that looked like that. But that’s not what this draft looks like.

You may believe abortion is murder but that’s a completely arbitrary and, more importantly, a religious doctrine. As an aside, even that view is a modern reinterpretation that has its roots in segregation. In the early 1970s, Baptists said the Bible was silent on the issue.

Your religion is your business. I draw the line at you imposing it on others.
> Are native apps dead?
> Not yet… but they’re going to be.

This post makes very big claims based on a very basic application that doesn't seem to be much more than a few toggle buttons and a couple of animations thrown in, and some 'statistics' that don't appear to be based on any actual facts.

I work in a team developing an app that has around 5million users, and we abandoned an Ionic first version 5 years ago, after a couple of years of nightmarish development, where (after the first implementation, which went reasonably well) we spent most of our development time fixing inexplicable bugs, chasing native features, getting inconsistent UI problems, broken builds from package updates and a myriad other problems that just drained our energy and were generally dispiriting.

I personally felt the entire experience was a horrible professional dead-end. Luckily our management decided to switch to a native application, and learning Swift has been the most fulfilling part of my entire career. The application is faster, more reliable, the bugs are locatable and fixable; the entire framework feels solid and professional.

The application itself is immeasurably better now. We attracted better-qualified colleagues who have been a great learning resource. And the app itself went from an appstore rating of (iirc) around 2.8 stars to its current rating of 4.6.

We would never dream of going back to the nightmare that developing a complex and performant app with Ionic was in my experience.

It's possible to have some parts of what serde does if you restrict yourself to aggregates (no private members, no explicit constructors), e.g. your types are simple structs such as

struct foo { int x; std::string label; };

Here it's possible to serialize/deserialize this structure in a generic way without having to annotate it - currently it's a bit complicated to implement so libraries help doing it (e.g.https://github.com/apolukhin/pfr_non_boost) but in 23 the missing language feature that makes the code trivial to write without any library should be there.
Win7 software tends to run quite well in Wine. Of course some things like document/spreadsheet macros are more problematic, but those are not that common and can be rewritten.
I'm sharing perspective. I understand it is somewhat orthogonal

> "1KB" is not a quality.

1 KB is indeed not a quality, it's the target size of the "fallen apart" example images in that section.

> The article doesn't tell you not to use thumbnails, but rather compare images only at qualities you'd actually use.

> So if you're interested finding a codec that is best for low-quality thumbnails in particular, then comparing low-quality thumbnail images is the way to do it.

> But that section exists because there are many comparisons on the net where people extrapolated cheap-ass quality test to everything. It's not correct to find the best codec for cheap-ass thumbnails and conclude it will be good at other image types too.

Again it's not really anything to do with "compare at a realistic quality" because there is no one quality that corresponds to real world use cases with which one can compare at. The problem comes from people coming to conclusions/claims with extrapolated data not that the single quality they picked happened to be a certain value e.g. low. Had they singularly picked mid or high quality and extrapolated they'd still have made inaccurate conclusions by extrapolating. The only appropriate ways to handle it are as stated, either frame your results in context of a specific use case or do a comparison across the spectrum instead of picking a quality.

> Consider a simplified case of the classic JPEG vs "JPEG-with-blur-applied" codec. If you compare both at cheap-ass quality, then the JPEG-with-blur will look better: less blocky, without ringing artifacts. But the thing that makes it good at low quality obviously backfires at any higher quality, because it can't preserve details smaller than the blur radius. Modern codecs actually have features that behave like this (in-loop deblocking, intra prediction), so you need to be mindful if you're after quality ranges that are made better or worse by blurring.

Better to to not be mindful of things like this and only speak to the result data. It doesn't particularly matter how the codec gets better results just that the scoring algorithm says it did. Of course bearing in mind to not extrapolate past your data (in any direction) as mentioned above otherwise you're back to talking about your assumptions not your testing.
Decode doesn't take up much space in a high-end processor. Even if your architecture's decoder doesn't "scale" as well, you can just throw a bunch more transistors at it to get performance. That said, I doubt there's many CPU designers unhappy about a simpler ISA...

No, I didn't. Look. I couldn't possibly give two fucks about whether or not some random HN user agrees with me or not. Trafficking in alt right conspiracy theories and other alt right nonsense warrants the label alt right. Blaming Prop 47 for California's ills is an alt right talking point.

As someone who's also studied California politics in an academic setting, attempting to lay blame at its feet is objectively ignorant and completely lacking in nuance (at best). At worst it's disingenuous.

As a San Francisco native and lifelong Bay Area resident I've followed the airport thing a bit and aside from the sheer ridiculousness of calling something "anti-lead propaganda" it's a gross mischaracterization of what's actually going on. Ars had a decent writeup, but it's not clickbaity enough to end up at HN.
Redistribution would not nearly be enough to offset the economic damage to the lower class. A big percentage will be lost to bureaucracy. Inflation would skyrocket. Those with assets see all the benefit of inflation, while the poor people with no assets have their purchasing power eroded away. Housing will become even less affordable. There's no free lunch.

> Corporations are made of people. It's all just people doing things. Taxing anything is always taxing people which is a non-interesting statement.

This is a ridiculous point. Surely you understand the different between things like income, sales, estate, capital gains, and corporate taxes? They all affect radically different individuals. I absolutely do not think that poor people should pay to clean the earth for the elites.

It seems fine for these cases to become a traffic stop. But as soon as the driver produces documents saying they've legally got the car, the arrest shouldn't proceed unless Hertz claims the documents are false.

A quick phone call to Hertz customer service by the police officer should answer that question.
> Why do I have to request anything?

I'm guessing it could be one or a mix of these:

They want to build a database of people interested in this and vetted by some other organization as worth hiring. Just more people to feed to their recruiters.

To see the output of the work. While academics will credit their data sources, seeing "XXX from YYY" requested, and then later "YYY releases product that could be based on the model" is probably pretty valuable vs wondering which ML it was based on.

A veneer of responsible use, maybe required by their privacy policy or just to avoid backlash about "giving people's data away".

This is a good argument for continuous release and agile over waterfall.

When making estimates, I also like to differentiate between what I call happy-path projections and lazy-bayesian estimates. The former take a sort of get-there-from-here best-case-scenario approach with some buffer tossed in to make it seem like we're not completely delusional. Lazy-bayesian estimates try to identify similar projects or references as a baseline for forecasting.

Daniel Kahnemann refers to the two approaches as the inside and outside view in Thinking Fast and Slow and offers an excellent tale to illustrate the difference:

No, they would likely not say anything. Explicitly denying it is saying something. But also - just to backup your claim how do you fingerprint a model? It seems logically impossible to me, if you are trying to mimic a certain intelligence, and you specifically "unmimic" it... then you may as well not try.
Reality Platforms | Software Engineer (hire #1) | Full Remote (current team in USA)

Hey HN! I'm the former director of YC's Startup School and am now working on my own startup called Reality Platforms.

We're building a community-collected and community-owned alternative to Google Street View. There's a lot of latent demand for a comprehensive street view dataset that isn't tied to Google (which is a competitor to many of the potential users of street-view data). In the last few years consumer smartphones have gotten good enough to make them a viable means of collection, so we'll be relying on a community of "reality miners" to gather the imagery.

The project uses cryptocurrency to track the distributed ownership of the dataset and pay out individual collectors when their data is accessed. But unlike many crypto projects which are just dressed-up Ponzi schemes, we have a solid, long-term business model!

We just closed a $6M seed round and are looking to hire our first engineers. We have very strong compensation with both salary and equity.

If you're interested or just want to find out more, please email me! kyle@realityplatforms.org
Surely in any language you would have to learn tooling ? What happens when your user report performance problems on Python, Java or JS programs, you surely use some profiling tool there, no ?

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote

Hello, DocSpring [1] is looking for a front-end developer who can help us fix a few issues in our React application. This would be a short-term contract to fix some specific issues, so it may take a few weeks, or perhaps a few months. The backend is written with Ruby on Rails, so some Ruby experience could be helpful, but this is not a requirement. You must have great problem-solving skills, and a lot of experience with JavaScript and React. Please send us an email if you are interested: jobs at docspring.com

I think small bits of irregularity in a UX breed uncertainty, which breeds anxiety, probably even moreso for non-technical people who can’t quantify what they’re seeing. It may not be something conscious that they can articulate, but I’m confident that it matters.
I also always wonder this, as it constantly seems like the only people I know who care are people who have gone out of their way to study UI; everyone else seems to find bespoke UIs "fun". It certainly doesn't seem to have hurt game developers much that every game has an unrelated UI..

This is not correct. What you’re describing sounds like how HTML5 standardized parsing of invalid HTML, but that is not the same thing as implicit closing tags, which have have always been valid, correct HTML producing an unambiguous, clearly defined result.
Hydro is tough for a lot of reasons. It's pretty ecologically devastating, flooding large regions and turning fish into mulch. It can also produce as much climate impact as a fossil fuel plant - or more - largely due to methane and CO2 emissions from the newly flooded land. [1] I'm not 100% sure where the Quebec hydro mix actually lands due to the significant variability on a plant-by-plant basis, and I don't know if that's factored in or how it was amortized in the StatsCan link - this wholistic analysis is fairly new afaik.

I trust StatsCan though, so your point is well made.

> This is a very odd appeal to authority.

They're just the talking points of the last cycle, when the case was argued in front of the court. I don't think the poster as quite internalized what this opinion means in relation to those old talking points. The thinking back then was that the court was maybe going slightly soften Roe by changing something subtle like the line past which an abortion is no longer legal. With a decision like that, the defense would be "Well look at these European countries! You can't say we're worse than them, because Europe is so progressive and liberal, right?" It was supposed to be a way to short-circuit Democratic arguments.

With this newly leaked opinion, the calculus has changed -- it seems that the court will not go with a slight modification to Roe and is instead going with a complete overturning. I think the mistake is in assuming that that's where it all ends. The court has surprised the right and the left here (in opposite ways). So I think it's a valid question as to how far this goes. Because who can stop it? All it takes to invalidate gay marriage is for some religious conservative to put it before the court, and it's done if the court says so.

Huh? Your argument is "that role for the Supreme Court wasn't decided until 1789"?

I mean, that's correct, but isn't that relevant to the discussion of the Court's role 230 years later.

I think what you want to say is "when the court rules the way I like, it's correct, but when it doesn't, the court is acting incorrectly".

It doesn't work that way

And what’s most hilarious is nobody actually read the draft opinion it says “Roe vs Wade has not resolved it, far better to have Congress resolve it”.

How is that an opinion worthy of attack?

HN likes to think it has as a more intelligent and logical discussion but looking at these comments it’s clear about 90% of it typical social media commentary you’d find anywhere. The few well thought out comments are downvoted to oblivion.
I'd say that's more a problem with their incentives. When companies treat them like cannon fodder and cut them based on their monthly numbers, there's a huge incentive to do what it takes to make a sale. What's the worst that happens when you lie and make a sale? You get told not to do it again? Better than getting fired.

That an inexperienced C programmer wrote what appears to be 5000 lines of assembly in 24 hours implementing a fully working C compiler seems... a rather extraordinary claim. The file size of around 130K would indicate typing non-stop for 24 hours at something like 100 characters per minute.

See my sibling comment. This is dramatically underestimating the economic damage to those with lower income. Literally everything will become more expensive. Things like food, housing, infrastructure, medical care...

> ...but we already do this today with tax credits and welfare for the poor. It's a a solved problem.

Hey man, if you've solved our carbon emissions problem no strings attached you'll have changed the world. How are the current tax credits and welfare systems "solved"? Social Security is expected to collapse in the within 15 years.
Adoption of the network is not related to its electricity consumption. The number of validators is a function of how many people want to invest (capital and resources) to secure the network.

I prefer to downvote the discussion since I'd estimate 80% of flagged but highly upvoted threads I've read in my time on hackernews have actually been ok.
Just so I understand you properly:

Original Inputs (A) -> NN (Q) -> Output (X)

You are saying you could train something that would take X and identify that it is the product of NN (Q). Even though you don't know A?

So, to simplify and highlight the absurdity: If I made a NN that would complete sentences by putting a full stop on the end of open sentences. You could train something that could detect that separately to a human placed full stop?

(This seems actually impossible, there is an information loss that occurs that can't be recovered)
> The same “states’ rights” used to subjugate black people with chattel slavery

States' rights is in the Constitution: the Tenth Amendment. And there is another amendment that abolished slavery, so we fixed the issue that you are talking about here. But that fix did not abolish states' rights. It still leaves things to the states that should be left to the states.

> should now be repurposed to subjugate women by robbing them of bodily autonomy.

I already explained why this is nonsense.

> You may believe abortion is murder but that’s a completely arbitrary and, more importantly, a religious doctrine.

Not everyone who believes abortion is murder believes that on religious grounds. There are valid non-religious grounds for considering a fetus, or at least a fetus after 15 weeks, which is the deadline in the law under review, to be a person, at least to a sufficient extent that aborting it would be murder. (The brief for petitioners in this case describes some of them.) You might not agree with them, but that doesn't make them "arbitrary".
