I got a teleprompter when Covid hit. I do a lot of training and I use it mostly for "looking into the eyes" of my students.

I have a twitter thread describing my setup. [0]

Were I to do it again, I would get a slightly larger monitor for it. I don't know if it is causation or just correlation (I'm getting old) but my eyes have gotten a bit worse in the past bit.

uhm, there is source code to the networks, or where else do they come from?

The problem is not the logic, but the shear size of it. That is not at all different from any sufficiently complex piece of software that allows side effects. And the comments can be totally useless or downright misleading anyway.

Also, there may be persons who are professional in both programming and lawyering.
Is this the SIFT and CADD systems referred to in the report:

"Bioinformatics analysis revealed a de novo, TLR7 p.Tyr264His (Y264H) missense variant that was predicted to be damaging by SIFT and CADD (Fig. 1a–c (family A) and Supplementary Table 2). This variant was not present in the databases of normal human genome variation (gnomAD, ExAC, dbSNP). Examination of the BAM files together with paternity analysis confirmed that the mutation occurred de novo (Extended Data Fig. 1a, b, d)."

I read that and thought that was pretty neat. CADD is Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion, and is "a widely used measure of variant deleteriousness that can effectively prioritize causal variants in genetic analyses." SIFT stands for Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant, and is "an algorithm that predicts the potential impact of amino acid substitutions on protein function."
There's a beautiful poem in roman dialect called "the war lullaby"[0] from this period. The last two stanzas speak of this, and go something like:

Sleep tight, my darling
while this mess goes on
sleep well, as tomorrow
we'll see the kings again

exchanging pleasantries
good friends as before
they're cousins, and amongst relatives
you don't need formalities,
again will turn friendly
the personal relations.

And reunited among them
with no sign of remorse
they'll give a nice speech
on Peace and Labour
to that dumb people
spared by the gun.

Hard to say without knowing what was fundamental and textbook throughout the years. I imagine nearly all successful pre-renaissance western artists and most successful pre-photography artists were more or less by the book, but even then, they probably changed things incrementally.

Without outside restrictions, any creative pursuit almost requires deviating from the norm though, even coding. Think of it like this, are you still using only the techniques you learned in college and nothing more? Do you not talk shop with your coworkers and try to think of new ways to do things?
Do you not believe the video evidence or do you just dismiss it because CNN or Fox didn't give it their stamp of approval to qualify it as "news"?

This is the number one issue. The writing is part of it but overall it just looks bland and not ‘fun tropical’.
Well, these photos evoke “some” reactions in people. Do your portraits evoke any reactions? The purpose of art is to express thoughts, in some dimension. And then viewer can make their own interpretations

It wouldn't make any technical sense to do so. 3DS is completely different hardware, Wii U has some hardware similarities but the environment in which games run is completely different (there's an OS, a bunch of dynamic linking, etc.).
The USD has intrinsic value - the US government insists on receiveing its taxes in USD, and only in USD. This alone creates trillions of dollars per year of real demand for USD. Crypto doesn't have anything like it.
Destruction of capital is good for capitalists. Scarcity of capital leads to higher yields and positive yields are necessary for the accumulation of capital. Of if the return on physical capital were to fall below the interest rate offered for money, capitalists destroy capital as it is too abundant. I have a hunch that this is what ultimately drives countries to war but it can't explain all wars. Primarily those following economic depressions.

Yes, capitalists are insane.
They used a complex and buggy solution when a simple solution exists: Use the `tc` traffic control [0] program to configure the Linux kernel to add a fixed amount of latency to traffic from the local players [1].

I’ve done this for two years with an A6400 (that is sadly discontinued and now sells for 2x the price with a kit) and a CamLink 4K, and I’m very happy with the results but for the usual web meeting, it’s overkill to spend $1100 on your setup (before lighting).

I record a lot of video in my office so it’s a different thing, but I think the new Opal camera ($300, I got one last week) is pretty great. It’s going to be my new travel camera setup.
Reminds me of a semi-famous artist local to me. Aethelred Eldridge…

He was certainly Michelangelo talented… & eventually ended up… hmm… as schizophrenic robotripping-esque?

Not sure that’s the most respectful way to describe his art, but it’s definition accurate.
I'm not so sure about that I work in graphics and we're 99% linux
But you do get self replication. Try wrapping your head around that feature.
That's a unicorn that doesn't exist because after you set up your Proper Incentives and take it to the Proper Government Agencies to get Proper Approval, they'll tell you "no". Then the project gets shut down and you get back in line to wait another 5 years for government regulations to maybe happen.

And that's how you get sketchy companies in Bermuda holding $100 billion in Schrodinger's assets, as well as other oddities like mining companies holding billions in assets because an ETF holding billions in assets would be illegal.
Most modern cameras have the ability to do constant autofocus in video mode, to varying degrees of quality and success. Usually they will try to follow anything that looks like a human face, or at least the brightest object in the field of view.

That said, even the greatest autofocus isn't going to be able to keep up with a person who moves around a lot at f/1.8 - so it's reasonable to stop down a bit if that's the case for your subject.

Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but there’s still a difference between juggling rubber balls and juggling knives.
I was specifically listing not-quite-rational arguments for C. The main real argument for it I can think of is that... sometimes it is currently the only reasonable choice.

But C++ is so much different than C. Not even a strict superset. Either way people will probably be pissed off and it will require work to get the benefits. So why not go for Rust?

C++ has no borrow checker. You can hack stuff on, but how much work can you really do before it's just not worth it and you might as well use Rust?

Of course scratch rewrites are a pretty horrific thing, but are we really going to just stay with C++ forever?
Newtonian mechanics is "wrong", but useful for everyday, macroscopic life. Relativity and Quantum Mechanics both provide good answers in their respective regimes, but they don't play well together. This suggests that there's more fundamental models/rules that are not yet found.

And as the joke goes, all apes who naturally made overly complex models failed to grab the next vine and so left the gene pool. We only need things complex enough to yield useful answers.
I used this for a while with my D850. It installed okay and worked, technically. I stopped using it for video calls because it was a hassle positioning the relatively heavy DSLR on my desk during calls and because it eats cam batteries for breakfast (you need a power lead that that slots into the battery location on the camera, which I don't own).

The (free) version of the webcam utility doesn't give you full tethered photographic control of the camera, which might have made it more useful to me.
I’ll bite. Rails is not dead yet and will get you very far.
There’s still good resources around and so many things you’ll want to do are already solved in logical ways.

The GoRails team offers some great current videos on Ruby and Rails and their jumpstart starter app (for a few hundred bucks) will move you forward insanely fast. I’ve no connection to them just a big fan coming back to Rails recently. https://jumpstartrails.com/

Hotwire and friends now mean you don’t miss out on adding 80% of js dynamic tricks. Setup a jumpstart project and you’ll actually build a great app much faster.
its certainly his use of pronouns that is the problem.
This is the reason I gave up on MTG in the 90s. I was a broke teen and it was clear that tournaments were won by the biggest investors in the cards. So I went back to chess.
You know the movie "Yesterday" where everyone except a small handful of people forget The Beatles ever existed?

Well, I sometimes wonder... if everyone in the whole world forgot about artists like Picasso, could the masses still be convinced his art is good in modern times? I for one would be pretty unimpressed with most of his work ("is this some random grade schooler's work you are showing me?").

Meanwhile if the whole world forgot about Michelangelo, my mind would still be blown if I saw any number of his works for the first time. The first time I saw The David up close I was astonished at the level of detail carved into the marble. Like... you could see individual veins in the hands and forearms.
In banking, this is pretty much how everything works.

There are vendors who took this one step further. They define a document "contract" which is populated with the raw business data and other important facts regarding the context of the transaction. You send this XML into their system and it will dynamically construct the required document based upon the inputs and send back the final PDF. Documents produced in this manner usually require far fewer printed/imaged pages, especially when working with business customers and complex retirement accounts that require volumes of potentially inapplicable disclosures.

We have also hand-rolled a lot of this kind of stuff in-house for our customers using HTML templating and PDF conversion. That said, anything that needs to stand up in court comes from one of 2 legal document vendors and we are required to use it pretty much as-is.
Induced demand applies to "free" resources. If you tax resource consumption it will go down overall.
The acceleration was my main gripe with the previous iteration. Thanks for adding it!

I want to stay up to date on this blog. Is there an RSS feed anywhere?
If you're there to go viral then sure, outrage can work - just like it does anywhere else.

But I'd argue most people aren't there to go viral or cause a ruckus. And in that case you can have a great time on Twitter with a relatively small following.

(Not to say I would mind having more followers, of course - but it's not the goal)
Yeah, Dolphin was a Gamecube emulator and since the Wii was basically two GameCubes taped together it was very easy for it to begin supporting Wii titles.

The Wii U is significantly different, I think.
Ask HN: What is your biggest complaint about your job?
completely agree!

My girlfriend she's a painter and studied fine arts in a London art school.

First thing she told me is that everything is asymmetrical, if you're measuring distances, you're doing it completely wrong.

Second thin she told me is that details are completely useless - if not confusing - if you don't get the basic shapes right.

As you correctly point out it's like a compression algorithm, and like compression algorithms (as a computer scientist) I think implementing what's already working is easier than come up with your own new algorithm.

But, despite all the help I got, I'm - unfortunately for me - still a terrible draftsman.
I think, to the best of my understanding, most of what you've said is correct. This is also why I always use blood ketone meters rather than urine strips.

Apologies for not including that, I guess I just assumed it was common knowledge? Mea culpa.
> According to the Court, Sullivan’s conduct was not covered under Dodd-Frank because his reporting was internal and he did not alert the SEC or others outside the company about the alleged misconduct. Sullivan did not “claim to have blown a whistle… but only to have confronted [the fund’s president] himself.”

These cases are always more complicated than presented.

Whistleblower protections apply to people who blow the whistle to an outside agency, not idiots who pick fights with powerful people without backup. This is such unfathomable incompetence my first thought was to question whether "compliance officer" was even his actual job title. On that note:

> The Court decided that, unlike the attorney in Wieder, Sullivan’s role in regulatory compliance was not at the core of, nor was it the only purpose of, his job. The court noted that Sullivan’s compliance officer role was only one of the five positions he held, and he was not associated with other compliance officers in a firm where all were subject to self-regulation as members of a common profession, as was the case in Wieder.

I recently investigated someone "fired" from the same position for similar reasons. Realistically, he was laid off as part of an unannounced RIF but played the whistleblower card only after he failed to substantiate claims of race and age discrimination. The DoD was only notified of the supposed compliance failure an entire month after he was let go, and only after two other unrelated defenses failed.
don't know what video you saw.. but the video linked here does not have any confessions, just a bunch of opinions from a nobody that we know nothing about that happen to work at twitter, edited by an organization without any credibility and know for using video to distort what people say.. everything laid out of context..

the video is total crap and not wort anyone to waste their time with..

so unless you have any reason on why people should give this video any credibility fill free to give to whoever comes looking for it..

i have already waste too much time on this crap, if you had anything to give this video credibility you would have provided already so i will assume there is nothing and move on..
Among smartphone customers, what do you think the numbers are for customers who prefer a big phone vs a little phone?

I don’t know this myself. But I figure that if no one is stepping into this market, it’s probably pretty damn small.

No, this was my issue here. I am an idiot lately. My apologies, and thank you for your patience. Pray for my brain, please.
> Microeconomics is a solid Hard Science

And what's you opinion on astrology?

FYI microeconomics is the most controversial part of economics. Doing advanced math on abismally poor world models doesn't make a hard science, especially when none od your results are falsifiable…
Here's a more accessible analogy: Here is Jacques Pepin making an omelet in 2 ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s10etP1p2bU

You can see every motion, every measure, the size of the flame, there are no cuts.

But if you actually go ahead and try to make this it turns out to be INCREDIBLY difficult to get it right.

Not every random mish mash or scribble is as random as a layperson will at first think.

The other analogy is look at the original post. Picasso COULD have painted like he did at 15 or 18 or 20 - which I assume you would agree you couldn't scribble yourself. But he CHOSE to paint in the style you are criticizing. You should default to assuming that there is more skill to it than you can see.
Awesome post. The pictures -- and the ideas they represent -- resonate.
Yes this is why humans must figure out how to keep themselves under control. If they don't then something else will do the job for us and we won't get a say.
surely at some point a viable e-ink phone will be released in the US

surely :|
NRE costs on a phone are easily measured in the $Millions. Your niche has to either (a) have enough volume to dilute those costs; or (b) be willing to pay a lot more per unit to cover them.

It's not a "bad thing" about HN or American perceptions -- it's economic reality: it just isn't cost effective for the big incumbents to pursue, and it's (likely) beyond the scope of a grass-roots, Kickstarter-style effort.
The difference between now and 2019 is the proximity to herd immunity.
This is essentially the birth of AI.

The lack of fanfare on this achievement is baffling.
I don't think the average user or custom cares all that much about what node they are actually on. Yes, of course battery life and efficiency matters. But if Intel can make some decent incremental improvements I just don't see them completely going away.

AMD and Intel have been trading the throne for years and every single time everyone says one of them is about to die. Yet here we are.
Yes, if you are using a camera for the webcam, it should probably be dedicated to it. Mine is a Canon M50, attached into a quick-release shoe into a teleprompter but even then it still two wires (USB and HDMI) and I also have to take out the AC power adapter to use the camera on its own.

I'm using mine all the time (I do corporate training and haven't done in-person since March 2020), so it sits in the mount. I also know the correct combination of rain/blow-into-the-Nintendo dances to get OBS and other software to work with it.
That sounds like it would be pretty cool to drive past! A local auto shop has a monster truck with smallish tractor tires parked out front, but that's pretty tame compared to these monsters.
Well the old guard were the ones who screwed up 14nm, so were they really the geese?
I went through hell trying to get a NanoPC-T4 (RK3399) board to work with NixOS. Getting everything working took up roughly a month of my free time and required engagement with multiple communities (including Armbian) and a bunch of digging to cobble together bits of information into a coherent build process (reading shell scripts from distros, etc).

I did finally get everything working, and I wrote some documentation to capture it.

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/NanoPC-T4

What I learned in the process is that Nix is a great resource to see how to get lots of Arm chipsets to bootstrap with Linux. Specifically, the uboot config file.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/misc/uboot...

By reading that, you can get a good view into what proprietary blobs and tools are necessary to get various boards working. As an added bonus, since Nix is declarative and versioned, weird boards should continue to work for the long haul.

Ironically, once I got the board up and running, I completely lost interest. Turns out the challenge of getting it to work was scratching a particular itch, not actually using it in practice.
Whoa, very weird to see my plugin hit HN! Dataview was initially borne as "Notion tables for Obsidian", but quickly became a way to do flexible data annotation + querying after I realized how powerful metadata can be. Viewing your notes as "text + data that can easily be accessed" can really alter how you think about note taking and knowledge management.

There is a fair bit left to do for the plugin (export to raw Markdown, section-level metadata), but I hope you find it useful!
A decade or so ago, Musk sounded reasonable. What has happened to make him so batshit crazy?
I would buy your phone, but I don't really like the iPhone mini industrial design. The square edges make it a bit hard to hold. I also don't mind if it's a bit larger than iPhone mini. Pixel 3/iPhone 13 size is my limit.

If nobody makes something like this, I'll likely switch to iPhone 14 when it's released.

Expectation: dirt-cheap, power-efficient and reasonably fast SBC computers so you can dedicate one per service (or form a cluster!).

Reality: a RPI 4 costing as much as a whole Intel NUC, but slower, without upgradable RAM, without native ports to mass storage (SATA/M.2), and not as reliable.

Didn't even have to think that far to see that SBC computers are a joke^W^W not there yet. Considered buying a NanoPi or a Raspberry CM + some board to build a router, with at least 2 physical Gigabit ports. Tallying up all components (sbc, case, power supply, heat sink, etc.) made the NUC with 4 gigabit ports look a bargain.

I really wanted to go the !x86 route, but...
The Wii U could run Wii games thanks to dedicated chips on the MoBo. That's why it has to switch into Wii mode. Most Nintendo backwards compatibility depends on dedicated hardware to operate. Wii and GameCube are the exception. The Super Nintendo was going to be backwards compatible with the NES but Nintendo found it too expensive.
Sneller founder here: we do not have any non-AVX code so we cannot compare directly against that. But generally speaking our code always works on 16 lanes in parallel per core, so that gives a huge speed-up.
Someday, a benevolent AI will serve as our supreme court.

One can hope... and/or fear!

I actually think taking things out of human hands could give them more legitimacy.
> But falling hook line and sinker for the Western propaganda talking points? Your bias is showing.

Such as?

> At the 2021 Brussels summit [1] NATO stated that "We reiterate the decision made at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance with the Membership Action Plan (MAP) as an integral part of the process".

And there wasn't any progress in this matter since 2008. It's still not even part of the MAP process.

> I'm just concerned how passively people are taking the sides of their government and selectively disregarding some information yet accepting other information without question, depending on who is spoonfeeding it to them.

Weird that you say that while repeating Russian propaganda word for word.
