Any opinions on peripheral support and software, especially
the camera module?
Measuring "Intelligence" always seems to result in some questionable science.....

That being said I do wonder about how I would have turned out had my childhood not been spent hiding under the covers at night with a small light devouring novel after novel and instead been inundated with social media and other distractions.
I've been using my original pixel 2 since the day it came out. Still works like a charm. Fast, battery is good, small and the camera is great. I've been looking at getting an iPhone mini but what I get for the price doesn't seem to be that much better than what I have now.
As others have said, the pros noticed. Having an incorrect calculation and seeing large jitter spikes can probably push the latency into something like 50ms momentarily, enough for pros to lose their "immersion".
Yep. This is not limited to any particular issue or ideology. It's not about accomplishing any of your policy goals anymore, it's about scoring grievance points. On the left, we accomplish this by tying everything into sexism and racism, even when other things would explain it better. Everyone knows sexism and racism are bad, so if we frame X as one of those, then X must be bad. It's intellectual laziness, even if you're right.

The way I see internet debates is like this: am I going to change this person's mind? Probably not. But this is a public forum, and there are many other people watching. Some are young people poking their heads into politics for the first time. Those people are the ones dragging the Overton window around.

I do not want their first impression of my side of an issue to be "wow, these people are just incoherently mad about everything, but the other side has a bunch of well-reasoned arguments". Regardless of my opinion on the premises of those arguments - and that's all this is, you're starting from different premises than me and you reached the only reasonable conclusion from there - that is going to affect their perceptions of my side and push them toward the people I disagree with.
Umm.. there are literally 100s of small Android phones:

Yeah, not enough coffee - got my DOF and FOV mixed up.

In any case I find if you sit close to your camera, 35mm is a good FOV that will fit in your head and shoulders. The background blur for f/1.8 works well if you enable Servo Autofocus with Face Detect. It will momentarily get confused if you step out of the frame and back in again, but it can track a face pretty well after that.
1. Your assumption is wrong. I use my Q2n-4k, my friend uses his GoPro, we want to share our recordings once in a while.

2. Your assessment of P2P being "unworkable" is just mistaken (besides the obvious fact that two machines have to be online at the same time). Syncthing works great, wormhole worked fine, filepizza worked fine. I remember long time ago I simply used a magnet with a bunch of open trackers attached and it worked wonderful.
FoldingText was an absolute work of art, best outliner I've ever used. It's one of those pieces of software I keep using, long after it has been discontinued, holding my breath with each OS release to see if this is the one that breaks it. That will literally be the only thing that keeps me from using it. I sincerely hope Bike adopts a lot of the same features!

Equity premium puzzle: The equity premium puzzle is thought to be one of the most important outstanding questions in neoclassical economics.[6] It is founded on the basis that over the last one hundred years or so the average real return to stocks in the US has been substantially higher than that of bonds. The puzzle lies in explaining the causes behind this equity premium. While there are a number of different theories regarding the puzzle, there still exists no definitive agreement on its cause.[7]

So solved in this context means consensus, not as in something mathematically rigorous. I think this is the problem with a lot of these unsolved problems. When I think of something being solved, it means that it absolves doubts.

Improved Black–Scholes and binomial options pricing models: The Black–Scholes model and the more general binomial options pricing models are a collection of equations that seek to model and price equity and call options. While the models are widely used, they have many significant limitations.[11] Chief among them are the model's inability to account for historical market movements[12] and their frequent overpricing of options, with the overpricing increasing with the time to maturity.[13] The development of a model that can properly account for the pricing of call options on an asset with stochastic volatility is considered an open problem in financial economics.[citation needed]

This is already done. There are a plethora of models to account for everything. It's not an open problem. It's just messy mathematically and does not have the elegant solution like the Black Scholes option pricing model does.
Webcams often simply use cheap, small sensors but I think it's worth mentioning that these "proper" cameras are also not designed to do on-demand video well. It turns out that if you spend $1000 on camera + lens it will look better than your $100 camera + lens, but that's not because the tool is 'better designed' for your use.

On the higher end, cameras make different choices around pixel quality, heat fluctuations, etc in still and video cameras. I think the "professionally remote" segment of the market is super under developed but it's the perfect bingo of awful startup challenges: selling specialist (HIGH capital) hardware to end users with a socially-contextualized value proposition. Good luck!

Edit: in case anyone else is confused - it's that you build a sensor differently to best transmit lower-resolution images for extended periods of time.
If you already transitioned to a paid account (like me) you can easily switch back to free.

That's a great opinion, but even if so - you know who has less idea? You and me. And you know who has even less idea? Some random corn farmer.

So why on earth would you advocate for the people who know the least about a topic to make the decisions? It's bananas.

There's no janitorial staff on Apple's board. There's no cooks on the Facebook board. There's no software engineers on the Twitter board. At least in industry we've - more or less - accepted that the folks with the relevant experience should be making the relevant decisions. This should be no less true in governance.
> It depends on the app.

Yes. The problem is that apps have this power. As a user, I should be able to restrict access to certain folders, regardless of what the app requested.
> I feel like that's the one scenario you'd care about, making the Busan players have 35 ping was the whole point

I think the key word is "significantly". The post states that the tool was originally developed for matches where both teams would be remotely connected, so neither team would have a significantly different latency (you can usually enginneer this by the first approach they suggested, of picking a server in between two locations).

You could’ve kept things simple and attracted a larger audience by just saying you want a smaller phone.

This reads like an over passionate CS freshman…….

“Dude wouldnt it b cool if it ran Arch Linux”

I’ve rarely heard net positive reviews for phones from no name Chinese brands like One Plus or whatever that thing is.

There just needs to be a smaller modern phone, that’s all. No TTL connectors, no OCAML based user environment.

I promise there are enough frustrated kids and adults in the planet to sign a strictly smaller modern phone petition.

Unfortunately the Smartphone world is pretty dominantly Apple, Google and Samsung.

Hopefully the petition will raise notice, but we all know companies rarely operate this way.
I looked into buying a Picasso once.

Someone on Reddit mentioned that his pottery was lesser known and could be obtained for a reasonable amount (10-15K at the time I think).

I just thought it would be cool to say that I owned a "Picasso". :)

It ended having to read everything I could find online about detecting fake vs authentic artwork.

Anything on eBay is (probably) a fake.
Anything from the big auction houses will have authenticity priced in (makes sense).

I never bought anything.
Yeah some people really need medication to get past things and that’s perfectly okay.
Eh.. I don't see the same resemblance. I mean Justin is no Pierre but he's not a Castro from what I can see.

That's a perplexing blanket libertarian statement

Sorry to say, but if a person shares a positive thing that's happened to them, and their "friend" makes that about themself in a negative way, the problem isn't really the delivery mechanism (social media)
Have you asked that bunch of people how they would like to cooperate?

My ignorant suggestion towards sharing those gigabytes of data: have you considered bittorrents?
>Most self-styled experts on developer productivity seem more interested in selling something rather than painting an accurate picture of how devs really work.

Says a blog post from a CTO who sells a product to track software productivity.
I've just got the galaxy s10e, a phone released 3 years ago, for this reason. The new s22 is also only slightly bigger than it. Samsung seems to now have this form factor as the baseline of their line up, with the top one added extra things that don't matter such as bigger, higher display frame rates and curved edges (whoever came up with this stupid trend needs to go to jail, but it's good that Samsung thinks that's a "feature", so it sells normal screens at a discount)
I think if you divided economists up into two groups, with A including all the economists with popular media platforms or who work in government policy, and with B including the rest, those stuck in academia writing papers that only other economists ever read, then you would find that group A fits your quip very nicely, and group B does not.

What got you into modern jazz, and was it an acquired taste?
An old phone is probably your best bet - you do not necessarily need that big of a sensor to get decent video. As long as you can provide enough light to keep the noise down and the lens (there are addon lenses for phones that are not half bad) is decent you can achieve probably what you want. The phone will have the necessary horsepower to actually process the video - I think that is probably the main issue vs a webcam

More importantly though why does most conferencing software limit us to such low resolutions? From what I remember Zoom is still max or 720P which is pretty damn terrible....
My Response to Daniel Bergner's NYTs Piece on Psychotic Disorders
I think we state transparently enough that we only report usage data and not your data within ZITADEL and you are free to disable it any time.

If you don’t agree with this I recommend not using ZITADEL
Thank you for working on this! I want to be honest, though, and say I think you're missing what the majority of users on this forum want in a small phone.

> Sub 6" display, matching size and design of iPhone 13 Mini

No, bad. What most of us want are the particular set of trade-offs made by phones around 2015. Design wise, that means that you've got to have another hole in the bezel, because there's going to be an earphone jack. That's apparently anathema for modern phones, but probably 90+% of us want it. Again, that's Hacker News specific. I haven't polled the market in general. I just know that I (and many others) won't consider buying your phone unless it has a jack.

Likewise, I have not much interest in a phone with a hole punched in the screen (?!) for a camera or an ugly "notch". I realize this is more controversial, but I don't know the last time I even used a front camera. I think it's more in keeping with the ideal 2015 design to make the bezel just large enough to contain a camera, speakers, light sensor, flash/LED, etc. I would reluctantly buy a phone with a camera hole if it was otherwise acceptable and there was no ideal option on the market.

I'd prefer if the back were completely flat as well, with no camera bump. That's totally just my aesthetic preference though, I don't know how others feel. I think it should be possible to achieve this if we're going back to not worshiping thinness, and making the small phone thicker for the sake of battery life.

I'd also prefer a 16x9 display to whatever Apple is doing now. So much web video is still 16x9.
Have you published those tools? I don't find anything relevant via Googling nor searching your repos.
> Mediafire and Megaupload, both of which are no longer around.

Mediafire is still up https://www.mediafire.com/

> piratebay might still point to trackers that have copies, but bittorrent isn't as popular as it was in the past

Most music pirates have moved on to using Soulseek (a P2P network) it seems. Releases not found on bittorrent can most likely be found on SLSK.

Hi - I assume your question is which webcam did I use for narrow FOV - for actual camera, it's trivial to pick a lens or zoom :).

I ended up getting Logitech Brio. It's expensive for a webcam, and honestly I'm a bit peeved - I don't feel I am getting my money's worth in terms of image quality. The software is also absolutely atrocious, so I don't really use it. But it is the best compromise of image quality and FOV that I could find.

(if your question was about DOF / bokeh/ blur, no webcam will do that and so far I haven't liked any software options. I just put a black collapsible photography background behind me so nothing but me is in the photo to begin with :)
The state of the industry could be way, way better. We just decided not to do so for.. some reason. We could answer it, but every time someone does, they get dogpiled by naysayers.

On the other hand, if the industry truly evolved, it would probably up the barrier to entry to a level a lot of developers would be out of a job.
You could even have it change at random intervals so it looks like you're on a choppy connection.
I fail to see where you disagree with me, on the ethmological part. Yeah, Hakenkreuz describes the swastika, a "Kreuz" mit "Haken" on the ends, but then... it still is just the German word for swastika, no? Like "Hakaristi" is in suomi / finnish. "Eisenbahn" still is just the word for railroad and not for "iron track", even though it's technically correct :D

"This tempel has a big, golden swastika" could be translated as:
"Dieser Tempel hat ein großes goldenes Hakenkreuz" or
"Dieser Tempel hat eine große goldene Swastika", neither of them is wrong, even today.
Yea, I guess the question is whether or not to try to do it at the packet level or just keep a running average of ping latency and adjust it over time. They said `adjust the latency (ping) to 35 ms` so I am assuming they are just trying to do something like attempting to maintain an average ping latency of 35 ms.
It's primarily about what you want out of it.

The first few times I tried using Twitter to promote my stuff and failed miserably. If you're there purely for promotion you won't get far, and it's definitely not the best channel for that purpose. (Especially if it feels like a slog to you).

If you're there to interact with like-minded people AND share something you're working on in the process, that's a different story. Still takes effort, though.
Anything CM related always reminds me of this Richard Feynman story:

Interesting discussion, but buried in a lot of legacy thinking about schemas and personally, I don't find Yet-Another-Schema-Abstraction (YASA)™ layer very compelling when better solutions in functional programming and semantic ontologies are far ahead in this area.

Suggest looking into JSON-LD which was intended to solve many of the type and validation use-cases related to type and schema.
Agree, Twitter really needs a shake up, and Musk is probably just the person to do it
Wow this is basically Keynesian gold digging but perverted to an even higher degree. Keynes idea was that we burry bank notes and tell people to dig them up as proof of work. Of course Keynes mentioned building houses and the like would be a better idea but if the political environment wouldn't allow it (guess what hasn't changed?) then any crackpot idea that brings money into the hands of those desperate for employment would be better than doing nothing. I guess you can take this idea too far. If the political environment got so bad the only way to justify further employment is (preparing for)war we should take a step back and really think about what we should be doing instead.
Yes, you just nailed it. It’s the cognitive dissonance. “That doesn’t make any sense, huh” leads to getting annoyed when the world seems to disagree with something that you just can’t figure out any other way.
And helps build a personal network that could possibly help
Obviously that was my point. Usage data is still the user's data and you are not entitled to it without the user's consent.

The fact that you disclose your unethical behavior does not make it ethical.

A better thing to do would be to patch out the feature that abuses the user's data. The trend of open source spyware needs to stop.
They can still buy and sell their own company, but they have to respect the black out dates.
Its just the reference implementation of the EL3 "Secure world" monitor, and this is where some of the power management stuff is implemented according to ARM standards (e.g. PSCI).
Technically I'm pretty sure you could do without it, but then you'd need to amend the devicetree and drivers to handle power state transitions.

On the Rockchip SoC in question, boot security is disabled by default, so you can compile it yourself from source and run your own modified version if you want to.
Yes, both — writing something with chalk on slate.
That's also the kind of error that one can easily catch with a unit test.
please reverse the order you list the phones in your last image... no reason other than it irks me that the lowest phone in the image is listed highest and vice versa
Thank you. This is a great opportunity to learn how that theme applies to basically all versions of Orthodox Marxist Communism, Libertarian Marxism, Austro-Marxism, Left communism, Ultra-leftism, Autonomism, Western Marxism, Eurocommunism, Luxemburgism, Council communism, De Leonism, Situationism, Impossibilism, Marxist feminism, Marxist humanism, Primitive communism, Anarcho-communism, and Communist Bundism, It would seem you have your work cut out for you.
now extend into raft atop rdma :)
(Just to clarify, those were interesting links at the time I posted them.)
"Truly random batches are not trivial to implement and any statistical pattern in the batching could be exploited."

If an HFT manages to exploit a correctly implemented entropy-pool random number generator using AES-256 to extend the stream as needed, they're welcome to pick up a few more bucks as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, problems have existed before but I'm sure in this case we can assume high-assurance and careful programming, not some fresh grad being assigned the problem and thinking linear congruential generators sound really cool.
It is a very serious tournament, it's just not as important as Worlds
And this is why I still want phones with removable batteries.
Thanks. So this embedding of a database engine into the Raft FSM is the general pattern then?

It looks like Phil's post uses boltdb for the Postgres storage engine as well as for Raft log(via Hashicorpo's implementation Raft lib.)

Thanks for the link to the slides as well. I've seen rqlite mentioned a few times in the last few week and so it was on my short list of things to read up on.
I can imagine there will often be comments along the line of „What’s that, a phone for ants?“
Curious if YC has any data on the outcomes of the co-founder matching programs they've been running?

I'm a bit apprehensive because most of the advice I've heard from YC and elsewhere about finding a co-founder involves looking for someone you have a long history with, and that's by definition not something a co-founder matching program can offer.

Wondering how the outcomes here compare with just going at it solo. I understand having a co-founder de-risks the business and increases the chance of success in a bunch of ways, but it also introduces a bunch of new risks that can turn out to be pretty catastrophic.
> Some people really want a nice camera, some a headphone jack, some a SD card or big battery etc

We used to have these things in small form factors. Those of us annoyed by where the big companies forced the direction of development are mostly very aware that things have regressed hard.
Interesting, but auction houses are historically known who sell fakes as authentics (sometimes/often knowingly) & eBay would be one of the easiest hiding in plain site for a thief to offload his wares…

That said, your comment is probably the true one in reality.
Group B would probably be split in one bigger group that fits and another smaller one that doesn't.
I guess I wasn't really thinking outside my bubble, but generally around me I don't see much of the government getting involved with directly producing marketable goods. The government may equip a police force, but it doesn't produce the guns or vests or cars directly, and it doesn't liquidate its services.

I mean, in general, we don't have to government do jobs that would be profitable, but rather the jobs that we believe are necessary regardless of profit. Schools don't turn any monetary gains, but we believe it's necessary for the betterment of our children.

I therefore wouldn't expect the government to be turning large gains back afterwords. Feels like underperformance in that sense should be expected.
Funny enough, both seemed to have carried their haircuts through all, or at least most of life since late adolescence (dunno about earlier). Perhaps so that they could be told apart by that detail.
macOS tips and tricks
What does an Amazon economist do?
But there are plenty of static type systems that let different types share the same code, the problem you describe only exists in nominal type systems (like C++) as far as I know. With structural types like in TypeScript or Go you can express this trivially.

For that matter you can do this with subtype polymorphism in most cases. In Rust you can do it with trait objects as long as you control either the type or the trait. Probably there’s a way to do it in C++ too.
+1 for the C920.

Got lucky and got one before the prices of webcams went crazy due to pandemic demand. Think they are back to around ~£60 now.

It just works. Plugged it in, picked up within macOS without a problem, immediately usable in Google Meet. Picture is fine, audio is fine. No complaints.
Not the OP but the GP, FWIW:

On full frame I used 85mm 1.8 to get a a good FOV / DOF / proportions.

But it sat on a tripod 1.5 meters behind my computer and made the room a nightmare to navigate :D

35mm on FF would indeed be mildly wide (just on wide side of "normal" 50mm lens)
