I disagree with the people here saying that no image is better than a camera feed. As an individual contributor and trainer myself, multiple times, I've found out that looking at someone explaining something in itself adds value. It doesn't need to be a sales pitch, you can discuss something with a colleague with a shared whiteboard, and still I appreciate seeing another one, their expressions, face complexion, mood, even their cats, dogs, etc.

That doesn't subtract to the fact that audio is the stronger medium. A great mic setup is orders of magnitude better than a pretty face via a DSLR. Podcastage has been one of my favorite youtubers on the matter since last year, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEMZa5VN3Zw, and in that video he somewhat proves the point.

For camera recommendations, I agree with the majority that it needs to be a reliable setup. I was not a fan of DSLR with capture cards precisely because of that. I recommend AverMedia line of 4K webcams which have good defaults, amazing glass and have a great resolution and adjustable depth of field. In the past I used an Aver C340 4K which is amazing, but bulky, and now more recently I use a PW513 which is way better than anything Logitech has to offer.
LoL is not using lockstep. Lockstep has two big disadvantages for a competitive game. Tt requires both client to have the full game state to run the simulation, which makes creation of maphacks trivial. The second issue with lockstep is that if one player is lagging, all players are lagging, which is also not something you'd like to have in a fast paced competitive game.

At work we had to create a streaming setup to provide remote training to a customer on the other side of the world that involved parachute packing & guided drone integration. Stuff that was usually done in person but due to the pandemic traveling was not an option at that time.

vdo.ninja and a couple of iPod Touch's (RIP) were really useful to give the trainers the ability to walk around the parachute loft to get up close and personal with a specific set of equipment. Combined with OBS, some powerpoint plug-ins, and vdo.ninja, we were able to bring something together that worked really well in no time at all.
I am terrible at everything about hand drawing. I mean I can't even draw a square right.

When I first saw "simplifying the bull" I felt I could draw a bull by replicating what Picasso did.

I am still terrible, but in a way he gave me the tools to draw something (or an idea of it if you will) without being able to actually draw it.

His process is assimilable to research at its best.
Perhaps this has changed, my late 2020 Model X had it on by default.
"Yes, it is absolutely in a feedback loop. It's kind of bizarre to see up close."

So supply chains behave like ecosystems.

In the natural world we see insects and animals develop things like bright plumage and big horns because the animal before them was successful in doing the same thing. This behavior can go on for a long time too. Then an asteroid hits (tantamount to bad economic times) and the fast moving generalists seem to succeed better than the highly adapted specialist.
Am I missing the comparison of avx ve non-avx performance?
thank you for this feedback. We've made several edits to the quickstart to get users started as quickly as possible as proof-of-concept installs either on a test cluster in the cloud or a local cluster.

We will definitely better address this in the future. Thank you for pointing this out.
> This connection is irrational as well - the name "streaming services" already implies that content is being streamed for viewing and not downloaded for storage.

I remember all the way back to the late 90s, when we were already ridiculing the people who thought "streaming" was some radical new concept that was different/better than downloading. I remember a VC or some other exec hotshot coming to visit a startup I was involved in, insisting he was interested in investing in media streaming, not media downloading. Everyone on the eng team just held their chuckles until he left. There's really no technical difference between streaming and downloading, besides that streaming has an extra deletion step. It's all just transferring bits from one computer to another. "Streaming" is just downloading dressed up in a business suit.
Both responses address the problem with a human making a biased decision based on race, which I think mostly we all agree would be bad.

The question I was posing is different, though, because this was discussing an AI system that looked at the underlying [in this case, recidivism] data which had race and race-adjacent information removed, and the AI has effectively rediscovered the concept of "race" by connecting it to some set of attributes of the actual [in this case, recidivism-predicting] features. If the AI were to determine such a link, that doesn't make its results biased, it just makes them uncomfortable. It's not clear to me that in such a case that would mean that we should remove those [recidivism-predicting] features from the dataset just because they ended up being correlated to race.
It sounds like you want an artist who paints in the style of Rembrandt today? Why would a genius deny themselves the license to be original?
>> I don't understand when did the ability to choose a product fitting your preferences become a bad thing on HackerNews

> Because so many on HN have been indoctrinated into the "scale at all costs" mentality.

HN also has many fanboys that slavishly celebrate the decisions of certain prestigious companies as the best possible ones, because that prestigious company made it. Other decisions can be assumed to be inferior because, if they had merit, the company would have picked that instead.

IMHO, a lot of technology has plateaued, to the point where the hip new thing is objectively a regression that just looks different.
Putting authentication on the site would be easier.

There a rub here, in that people expect to search things without being logged in. But then if you don't log in people, anyone can come calling, including bots. This then causes you to do things like get a third party to filter the data, which then affects the users by having to reroute their traffic to someone else to get rid of some of the visits you don't want from the bots.

And round and round.

Simple authentication to the site with tokens might solve the problem. If an IP comes calling that does so with out authentication, or payment, then hang the connection.
I really like FoldingText that was also your development. Sadly, it's been discontinued. Looking forward to see if Bike feels as great as FoldingText.
Yes, I know it's volatile and has practical issues. It gets better every day, because it's just a matter of maturing in the market. The primary purpose of money is to be a store of value, which it has done very well, from 2009 to this day.

USDT minting means that someone buys USDT with USD. There's nothing funny going on. Most of the USD in this market is invisible, because it's on exchanges, not in stablecoins. There's also USDC and BUSD, which are combined as big as USDT. I hope Tether falls, if that means cheaper Bitcoin.
The update data is not redistributable, but there is nothing copyrightable in what the "fake update server" returns (30 lines of PHP serving some trivial static XML files).
This is weird. I have made edits with a new account on articles and they were accepted.
Not very significant articles, maybe.
> The tradeoffs don't work unless you're the richest company in the world.

More accurately, I think that would be "unless you sell the most phones in the world." A niche iPhone still sells more phones than Google.
>Why would customers buy this?

Indie consoles like Ouya that’ve tried to capitalize on platform branding have failed pretty roughly in the past. It always seems ironic because anyone savvy enough to know of one likely also knows they have mediocre setups involving existing consumer technologies.

I would like to see an Indie NES approach. Something actually using 8/16 bit hardware. Or at the very least an exclusive console that has really well made games that people are dying to play.

Part of me also thinks people would find that exclusivity annoying. And instead of buying the inevitably high priced artisanal console, they’ll emulate the games effortlessly, as they should.
(Apologies if you already know this.)

Heat pumps work by moving heat, they usually move more heat than input energy.

Basically, a refrigerator is a heat pump. The input energy runs the heat pump, which it uses to move heat out of the refrigerator. Typically, for every watt of electricity, more than a watt of electricity is moved out of the refrigerator.

They work by compressing gasses into fluids, and then letting the fluid expand back into a gas. Basically, when a fluid evaporates, it absorbs heat as potential energy. The energy can be harvested by compressing the gas at a high enough pressure that it condenses into a fluid. Do this in a loop, and you can move heat.

No laws of physics violated!
Most Melee players use a frame delay that's equivalent to the lag present in a Gamecube + CRT setup. A little artificial input lag goes a long way!
Isn't that the point of the org though? They spin out cheap hacker-friendly ARM hardware at cost for interested hobbyists and that's about it. They're very clear[0] that they don't necessarily provide software outside of the bare basics for it.

> In the event I can't get this I will switch to a cheap feature phone since I need something for emergency use.

I tried switching to a feature phone and was surprised how often I use a smartphone; and how many people, banks, government organizations, restaurants, etc, assume that you have one.

Vetted by Google. For Google.

Man, I have seen this everywhere, there is so much low hanging fruit for organizations that take developer productivity seriously. It is insane the amount of friction (leading to burnout, disengagement, and ultimately turnover) that developers deal with, every day, just because no one in the organization can see past their quarterly OKRs and fix basic things.
honestly I can't tell the difference. for online meetings both are good enough as long as I am not colsulting a dermatologist for a problem with my skin.
Yeah, or I guess you could pass some object in:

File BeginWrite(DeferTrustee t) {
PleaseDeferMe<File> p = File.open(...);
File f = t.defer p;
f.Write(some header);
return f;
}

And then the caller would look something like:

void WriteWholeFile() {
DeferTrustee t = defer; // defers to the end of this function
File f = BeginWrite(t);
f.Write(the body);
}

Then you can still defer before anything else and avoid unsafe situations.
At first I thought this was a relaunch of Infra App[0], because that project has been stale for a year now since they introduced licensing and has been superseded by Lens feature wise anyways.

This looks very interesting, will give it a try.

Threads that are full of flamewars, name calling, and outrage farming is my personal definition of cesspool. I follow many that hold opinions I don't agree with. As long as the conversation is civil I'm perfectly happy talking. But if it drags me into an internet flamewar where I am expected to pile onto someone else out of manufactured outrage then count me out.
I don't think it is possible to fix corporate capture in a capitalist nation.

Let's take a look at IRS, IRS could bring in a lot more money, however, they simply do not have the funds to go after the big fish. Seems like its been getting gutted for a reason. While, politicians can continue screaming TAXES BAD, rich give you jobs.

Drug companies even have their hands in education. Here is an article about a lecture which discusses some of the issues: https://ethics.harvard.edu/event/drug-companies-and-medicine...

Money gives an individual/corporation power. If you are extremely wealthy individual you are a lot more likely to avoid punishment for doing things, which are illegal. Some large companies have more cash than whole countries. It is mind boggling.

We as individuals are generally NOT FREE at all. Doctors? Surgeons? Engineers? Youtubers? Researchers? We are just slaves of the system and we generally cannot express ourselves completely because making $200k doesn't mean we have financial freedom. It means we have a decent existence and nice things, then maybe one day we reach financial freedom. Therefore, people who write the checks have influence and that may affect our judgment.

I recently read about a physician that was reporting a drug was causing heart attacks. First he contacted the drug manufacturer, then the FDA, then the news because nobody cared. The drug maker funded a discrediting campaign. His bosses were having talks with him. He was concerned he would lose everything he has worked for.

I believe until we are truly free we will never be able to be completely honest. At that point money can just fund discredit campaigns and our voice wont matter to the general public.
What's wrong with Samsung S22? It is 6.1 inches (author mentions 6' but I find this close enough), cameras are great and while not stock Android the OneUI stuff is not annoying for me at least. Plus it does have some of the other ideal/nice to have, although not a perfect fit.

I have to admit the S22 is one of the smallest high end Android phones that caught my eye.
Overcenralization in an environment of increasing disruptive dynamics is a path to eventual catastrophe when survival boils down to minimizing latency to action.
I use my GoPro and it's pretty excellent. The logitech C920 is amazing when using the software "webcam settings" unfortunately the app no longer works. You could adjust the gain, exposure, every setting that logitech for some reason does not let you adjust. I could get incredible quality out of that thing with that software, but since I can't use it on my M1 it's garbage.
Good breakdown, thank you. Seems like a number of Ruby people have moved on to Elixir and Phoenix. Interesting stuff. Appreciate it.
Video muting needs to be normalized
To add on: Older processes also have lower static current consumption due to less leakage from bigger features. They are quantitatively better in many applications for low power or high precision.
What is truly economically illiterate is to think that an economy needs to grow every year just to maintain the same standard of living. The economy is currently set up in a way that we will lose more than just future progress if growth stops, we will also lose past progress. It would be wise to get rid of this pointless rigidity.

This fixation on growing every single year hurts prospects to grow more over longer periods of time. It also causes needless environmental destruction. We would rather deplete the soil for a quick buck than maintain it and make it better every year at the cost of lower initial yields.

> What's the difference between "attested" and "audited" in this context.

Attestation: "Person X has $50 million dollars in an account."

Audit: "Person X has $50 million dollars in an account, and we know how it got there, who has claims on it, and whether it's fairly likely to still exist tomorrow."

As a concrete example:

https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2021.02.17_-_settlemen...

> On the morning of September 15, 2017, Tether opened an account at Noble Bank.
Later that day, Bitfinex transferred $382,446,847.71 from Bitfinex’s account at Noble Bank into Tether’s account at Noble Bank. Friedman conducted its verification of Tether’s assets as of 8:00 p.m. EST.

https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2021/attorney-general-james-...

> On November 1, 2018, Tether publicized another self-proclaimed ‘verification’ of its cash reserve; this time at Deltec Bank & Trust Ltd. of the Bahamas. The announcement linked to a letter dated November 1, 2018, which stated that tethers were fully backed by cash, at one dollar for every one tether. However, the very next day, on November 2, 2018, Tether began to transfer funds out of its account, ultimately moving hundreds of millions of dollars from Tether’s bank accounts to Bitfinex’s accounts. And so, as of November 2, 2018 — one day after their latest ‘verification’ — tethers were again no longer backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars in a Tether bank account.

An audit would've flagged this. An attestation does not.

It's like a kid who answers "are you eating cookies before dinner" with "no" because they stopped when you asked the question and are not currently eating one.
From the article:

"Our jobs are at stake; he’s [Musk’s] a capitalist and we weren’t really operating as capitalists – more like very socialist," Murugesan said, before adding, "we’re all like commie as fuck."

"Ideologically, it does not make sense like, because we’re actually censoring the right, and not the left – So, everyone on the right-wing will be like, ‘bro, it’s OK to say it, just gotta tolerate it."

It is the same reason companies predicted to have large growth have higher PE multiples. A PE of 6 indicates that the market does not believe Intel will be able to keep this level of earnings in the future.

Here are some of the factors:

* Getting beat in manufacturing by TSMC
* Competition in X86 infrastructure from AMD
* Centralization of the lucrative server market into a few very large players that are fabricating their own ARM based chips (IE AWS gravitron)
* X86 no longer having the same moat as ARM mobile domination has made many major libraries,languages and frameworks work just as well with ARM.
* Recent track record of failing to respond to such challenges in a competitive way

Of course they could turn this around and keep making insane profits, but that is what the market is thinking at the moment.

You would be surprised how similar someone looks to another when they dress alike, have a covering that obscures half their face(beards that are similar in this picture) and have a similar haircut/skin tone. Looking at that picture if you look at just their eyes and eyebrows you can then see the differences, I think if they were clean shaven they may look more dissimilar.
Thats roughly my team's budget for a laptop.
Like profile pictures?
I looked at similar cameras a while ago (Mokose brand), but never got around to it because I was unsure of the lens. Especially field of view (is it wide enough angle?), but also overall quality. I saw a sample somewhere with a dark ring along the edges of the final image.

Did you have any issues with that? Do you have a rough approximation of what zoom setting you're using and what FOV it gives?

I'd love to get a better camera than the built-in laptop one, but also don't want to shell out $1500 plus the hassle of a DSLR…

> And how many economists pretend that expanding the money supply doesn’t increase inflation?

A live demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. The effect of change in money supply on overall inflation is mediated by the velocity of that money. If the money supply were doubled but banks & consumers sat on the cash, stowing it under their mattresses, then there's no inflationary pressure on products to be had. Conversely, if an asteroid were to strike us in a year, then regardless of if the money supply was shrinking, if people were spending their life savings in days then inflationary pressure would skyrocket.
I've had one for 2 years now. Love it and agree with all Eric's points except

> are easy to use one-handed without dropping

I find it very hard to use one handed and it keeps slipping through my fingers if I try to type on it one handed. Also my finger constantly partially block the rear camera when taking pictures. It probably has something to do with the size of my hands. Otherwise, I love how light it is and you barely notice it in your pocket when walking or biking.

I've never owned a better phone than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G because it's substantially thinner and lighter than any other phone of that size. A smaller screen size may be nice but I've realised how much more I really care about the phone being thin and light. I don't even notice it in my back pocket. I'm now allergic to picking up the new heavy iPhones.

If the smaller screen wouldn't make the phone even thinner I probably wouldn't care enough to switch.
Maybe we have different salt. In my regional vernacular, "salty" means something you did or didn't do is making you look like a fool.
