I was interested in how many of the trees they've found to be viable, but since they've only planted 50,000 and the drones plant 40,000 a day, they've only been working for 1.25 days so presumably they have no idea.

Not necessarily. I've been at some places where you just "do it live." We had dozens of worker nodes. An engineer would "reserve" one for debugging purposes, editing python code live, adding logs or prints as needed and restarting services. Worst case a small percentage of requests was lost, though generally they would be retried except in the most extreme cases. This risk was considered acceptable.

Obviously, depending on the business and maturity level of the company, this could be a big no-no. In general, I find those "wild west" environments more fun. Waiting for an hour long build, deploys, and "approvals" to add a couple of prints is a big drag.
People should be called on their bullshit. And saying that an entire race is to be held responsible for a rape is bullshit.

If it were a "white" person that had raped his god-daughter would he be clamoring to live in a different community. Without knowing this person, I can confidently say no based on the stereotypical racism in his outlook.

Racial categories are a societal invention. They are completely made up and arbitrary which is why we should be especially intolerant of racists. Not only is it a cruel viewpoint, it's a stupid one.

A knife is a knife is a knife. But the definition of what race someone belongs to is entirely up for debate depending on where in the world they are.
> How can you conclude that when you previously said you can’t “ give exact prediction and timelines”?

Because I read "the limits to growth", the IPCC report summary, and various authors on the topic and that's what they say based on actual data. And I'm yet to find quantified arguments that say otherwise. You're the one whose ideas are based on faith, not me.

> To me, you seem to be repeating the same “the world is ending!” nihilism that has always permeated society.

No, because
1. I don't think the world is ending, just that current growth will stop one way or another, because it's not sustainable and limits are within sight
2. it's not about nihilism but predictions based on numerous data, which are more accurate and comprehensive than what was available in the past
To be honest, I haven't looked too deeply into Sycamore.

Was the Panzer II a tank?

Because the Panzer II only weighed 9 tons. So the modern M2 Bradley has more armor _and_ a bigger gun. (Panzer II has a 20mm primary gun, M2 Bradley has a 30mm primary gun)

--------

I think the issue is that WW2 had definitions for tanks (light-tank, medium-tank, and heavy-tank). But today, armored-vehicles are classified by their tactics. (Ex: M2 Bradley would be a "WW2 Medium Tank", but the M2 Bradley's tactics / expected use case is really "IFV", infantry fighting vehicle).

Back in Ww2 days, there weren't many kinds of armored vehicles, and the systems of classification (and tactics) were just not very well defined yet.

Because today's wars are more complicated and have forced a change in military language to keep up with.

Case in point: I'd argue that the "modern Panzer II" is maybe something like the M113 APC (yeah... not really modern but...). With a 20mm gun, only ~12 tons of weight, the M113 APC would be a "light tank" in terms of WW2 terminology.

Of course, M113 is an "APC", not a tank. Panzer 2 wasn't a troop carrier either. But I think this example shows how the language has changed in the past 80 years, due to the change in armored-vehicle tactics.

The trick isn't to shop for /most/ Chromebooks. The trick is to shop for /decent, expired/ Chromebooks. Chromebooks are designed around planned obsolescence, and all come with a use-by date, after which they stop updating:

https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en

Chromebooks near or past the planned obsolescence date can be had for a song, including decent models. The market is close to non-existent, so there's a glut of them.

My Chromebook has a 3200x1800 display, 16GB RAM, and takes an SD card (for expandable, albeit slow, storage). That's plenty for most of the types of work I'd like to do on a boat. It was under $200, almost expired. New, it would have been close to a grand.

Typically you set up many devices that can be used for authentication - your android phone and windows desktop, as well as a USB key in your safe for emergency access into bank accounts and the like.

Account recovery is a pretty well-known space as well. If the person does not have any authentication mechanisms left, you can send an email link or go through identity proofing depending on your security requirements.
Space has nothing to do with the limitation. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Chesterton%27s_fence
Deleted articles aren't THAT big an issue, since most articles that get deleted are crap (there are exceptions). Maybe more important is idiots reverting good edits or otherwise removing info from articles, without the articles themselves getting deleted. The info is thus retained in the edit history, but it's harder to programatically recover, because: the context changes in later editing; it's hard to distinguish information removal from ordinary editing/rewriting; there are tons of automated edits that are just plain noise with no clear way to distinguish them from human edits, etc. I've been wanting to spend some time on this some day.

Hey, I feel your pain. It’s important to consider though that you can only do your best with what you’ve got. So long as you’re doing your best, your honest best, what else can you do?

I know the urge to beat yourself to for it is pretty strong. But the only thing you can do is regroup and try to make the rest of today better. Then start again tomorrow.

You’ve achieved something, right? Maybe it took ten times as long. That’s fine. Just keep at it. Don’t compare yourself to other people, just yourself yesterday. That’s all that can count.

It’s easier said than done. Don’t hate yourself though. Life isn’t easy, you just make the most of it. Take care.

The rationale for deleting articles on Wikipedia has nothing to do with saving storage space, as I just said. Your comment implies that they do; in fact, you essentially argue that losing the "save space" excuse is fatal to the policy. You need to understand those policies before you can plausibly critique them. You evidently don't, and your critique is consequently implausible.

I also couldn’t imagine police knew it and left him free despite 7 previous condemnations. He was a nice guy, met at salsa lessons, invited several people for my birthday.

Police left him free. Police left him free because the judges free them. They wouldn’t free a white guy. It’s outrageous. Police left him free!!!

There is nothing intrinsically different about computing from, say, 10 years ago. You might still want to read some text on a webpage, click on a few buttons and have them do something, maybe fill out some text fields, or even upload/download a few files.

Instead, you get "visual experiences" with overcomplicated UIs with similarly overcomplicated underlying technologies (edit: not to say that there aren't benefits to technologies like Vue/Angular/React, however they aren't "necessary" to get things done most of the time, in many cases even server side rendering without JS would be enough), all of which waste all of the resources that you'll give them, especially if you don't have ad-blockers on which means that you'd get bogged down with dozens if not hundreds of malicious scripts.

Of course, this is a bit akin to shouting at the cloud, but nobody should be too proud about the state the modern web is in and use it to justify wasteful hardware and software requirements: https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm
Because after WWII, when the US workforce had a lot of leverage and the power of unions was high, the US criminalized a bunch of things that unions do in exchange for a few token concessions.

exactly https://youtu.be/BxaG4YdsHTg?t=31 - unspecialized small drone (22 V at 80 A) just dumping what seems to be like small mortar rounds onto the Russian tanks.

To the comment below - the upper armor is much thinner. You don't even need an RPG warhead here. Small mortar may do it if it hits over engine behind turret. It easily can also be just a small shaped charge bomblet from a disassembled cluster Smerch warhead for example. Such a bomblet pierces 5 inch RMA - well enough to take out the tank from the top.
Your first question is the primary topic of the article.
That's nothing, and in addition to that, it's a huge waste of seeds (these companies are buying up all the available seed for certain species of trees, which means net fewer trees planted). Manually planting already germinated baby trees is more efficient both in terms of hours and labor spent and has a higher germination rate.

Ask HN: Why is CGI been so bad in the past 2 years?
I just got out of the new Dr Strange movie and the CGI is the worse I've ever seen. I just don't know or understand what is happening. Is it all related to Covid? Is complicated tools plaguing the movie industry like it is web development? As we progress further, websites are getting worse.

Spider Man No Way Home looked really bad in quite a few spots. Just simple things like a person on a green screen look bad. It's been taking me out of movies recently. It's like no one is on location anymore. I saw a trailer for the new Jurassic Park and it seems like where there in the desert just talking is on a green screen.

I rewatched the first Avengers (2012) movie just to make sure I'm not going crazy and it looks 100x better. I can't even tell it's CGI in some of the city scenes.

Can't wait for the new Top Gun to get out of this CGI hell that's happening.

Really cool work. My impression after reading the article is that it’s significantly inspired by SwiftUI, but without the magic annotations (@State, @Binding, @EnvironmentObject, @StateObject, etc.). It will be interesting to see how Rust handles the fully-statically-typed view tree, which has been really pushing the limits of the Swift compiler.

Question for the author: perhaps I missed it, but how do you plan to handle view trees that change based on state (ie SwiftUI’s IfElseView + viewbuilder)?
Identification systems on computers are already abused to extremes. There is no way a putting a identifiction system inside your body is not going to result in tremendous abuses on the long run, with much more terrible social consequences since it will be linked to individuals and hard to disable or remove.

The simple fact there no guaranty of safety that can be made about such a system despite its obvious consequences about tracking, power and control should alone be a red flag.

When I read such a comment, I can't help but think school should make kids read more science fiction. Many authors covered why something like this is a dangerous idea.

Apart from this, posting their religious affiliation on Facebook gets people in trouble. Blaming Facebook or whatsapp for this seems like a reach. It's a problem but im not sure its whatsapps or facebooks problem. These attacks were carried out long before facebook and whatsapp existed.

> People should be called on their bullshit.

I’m calling you on your bullshit, but only because you present it that way: You are denying that there is a widespread rivalry between two ethnicities in France, and there are real victims. Real victims on one side (including rape, murder) and mostly paper victims on the other, and you are helping this situation to happen, mostly by putting pressure on the police to not jail the culprits. It’s like foxes in a hen enclosure, where you would blame the hens for speaking up.
Now add 500 more features and 10 engineers and see if it scales. Hint: it doesn’t. Sure you can make it work, but as someone who regularly makes FE decisions for a team, I wouldn’t want to impose vanilla on them.

What I will say is it’s tough. I don’t like the idea of react at this point. I like building products that don’t need something heavy like react/redux.

I recently launched https://lists.sh to scratch that no js itch. It was a ton of fun and I want to chase that feeling.

But building a web app is what businesses want. And while you could make vanilla js work, you’d be reinventing a lot of tooling to get you there.

Wait, what?

I stopped fighting for articles like these years ago because I grew to despise arguing over Wikipedia's policies. There's power users who seem to delight in bureaucracy, but for me it just sucks all the enjoyment out of participating in Wikipedia.

That being said, I still make edits to articles sometimes.
People say things like this, and I believe them. But can you provide some examples of edits you've made that didn't "survive the Reversion Police"? One very good thing about Wikipedia is that most of what happens on it is logged; Wikipedia Jurisprudence works for the most part the way people HN say real jurisprudence should work: with version control. Let's talk about specific examples! You should have a bunch, given what you just wrote.

Not really strange. Voice data are large.
Imagine 1975: ICs with dozens of transistors are common, you can have a nice IC-based analog amplifier, for instance. But memory is ridiculously expensive, even something like 1KB ROM, and there is no such thing as an MCU at all, you need 5 extra ICs to even play your poor-quality short digital clip from ROM.

No wonder you just pick a mechanical solution which is well understood, can store many minutes of sound, and the sound records are easy to swap and cheap to produce. You use the amplifier IC with it because it's already cost-effective.
Nope, I don't code on any substance other than caffeine. When I drink enough to get buzzed, I usually start losing interest in that level of careful planning, and likely wind up in front of a TV or on Facebook.

I'm curious if it's reasonable to push more processing to the browsers to save on server costs.

I know multiplayer games generally need a server to "referee" (and to matchmake) but I wonder if games ever offload most of that work so the client does the heavy lifting (e.g. find a path from A to B) and then submits its work for the server to validate (e.g. this path from A to B works) and broadcast rather than the server doing all the game simulation work. My understanding is that multiplayer game clients generally just do graphics/sound and user interaction processing.
