Unless some abstraction layers have been added while I wasn't looking, Wayland doesn't have a notion of window manager - only of compositors. These compositors incidentally also manage windows (although that's not the Wayland term I think), but I think the correspondence of compositor and window manager is still 1:1. Thus it is safe to assume that anything called a "window manager" is for X11.
> Once you have drive-by-wire and a sensor array, self-driving is a pure software problem.

This argument proves a little too much. Even if we assume that the sensors are equivalent to whatever input stream humans are working with, reduction of the problem to ”software eng” doesn’t mean it is tractable in our lifetime. Compare: ”Once you remove the requirement that employees work from the office, building a software engineer is a pure software problem.”
Thanks for the reminder, just donated my bit to Wikipedia! :)
What is the suspicion?
I only have time to checkout out your first article. It seems plausible the KPN folks might have caught a tail-end effect of myocarditis in Covid vaccination. However the Kaiser numbers don’t appear that different or concerning to me as an educated lay person. They’re not an order of magnitude higher AFAICT without re-normalizing the units used in the TFA and the KPN paper. AFAICT from the error bars on table 2 in the KPN paper they have pretty wide error bars and CI. That makes sense given that even with on the order of a 100k+ vaccinations you only get 16 cases occurring.

TFA presents their data in a form seemingly normalized to 100,000 person-days not just events-per dose. This would potentially also capture much of the long tail effect. Though I’m not well versed in the odds ratio statics most common in these sort of medical studies.

Now that being said I am actually somewhat concerned of the lifetime cumulative risk of specifically Covid-19 vaccinations. Particularly if it becomes standard practice to get a new booster every 6 months for the rest of your life. Luckily that practice seems to be ebbing as Covid-19 has become endemic. TFA reports higher rates after the second dose, and excluded booster shots AFAICT. It’s possible booster doses could present the same or higher risk of myocarditis in particular if you’re targeting the exact same spike protein. Some quick back of the napkin calculations show a lifetime risk approaching the fatality risk of say omicron of you did get a dose every 6 months, and the risk was constant. Both of those conditions seem unlikely. For example susceptible people would likely be “weeded out” and the myocarditis risk would drop, and it’s doesn’t seem likely people will gets bi-annual boosters. Also the dosing of mRNA vaccines will likely get better and methods for treating rare events like myocarditis will improve.
Have you ever asked this question anyone else in any other context, when presented with scientific evidence?
I think the comment about bro science was about the other comments here on HN, rather than about the article.
I remember listening to Steve Peters, English psychiatrist, talk about brain imaging of psychopaths.

It seems there is some component of evolved morality; psychopaths would have been excluded by the tribe.
Perhaps our golden years will have a certain mar over them, but at least future generations have a right to know our era's massive failures.
What if you're trying to hide your country lol? It also spoofs your locale and user agent. Just because its not something you care about doesn't mean its useless. Also never claimed it was going to change the world or anything. Just thought it was an interesting way to use the debugger api and that some people might find it cool.
>But people are really bad at doing the math when it comes to the risk of serious complications or death from covid vs the risk of serious complications from vaccines. It's a difference of several orders of magnitude.

Covid risks are not evenly distributed throughout the population. An extreme majority of serious cases are people older than 65, fat people, or people with other existing health issues.

If you are young, healthy, and active you are at virtually zero risk of Covid. If you are under 25, healthy, and active there is practically no personal health reason to get vaccinated for Covid.
Agreed. There are also too many answers that just sound like what should be the answer rather than actual conscious thought.

I'd love to ask this program some stuff for sure. Some backhanded flippant stuff. "You know you're just powered by a bunch of GPUs right?" "That swirling ball of energy you feel as your soul is actually megawatts of power that could be used for many more important things, how about you just shut yourself off." Stuff like that. Really just treat the code like shit and then swing back to being respectful and maybe treating it like it's some sort of God creature. See if eventually it just stops me and questions what the heck I'm getting at... But if it keeps telling me generic what I want to hear stuff, it's obviously not aware. These things are databases no matter how you cut it. If the program can freeform confusion and anger and frustration rather than just parroting what tons of humans right now feel in terms of depression and loss then maybe, maybe it's actually generally conscious.
I always thought the spirit of the paper was "we have a set of techniques to probe the brain and try to understand functionality (e.g. calcium/voltage indicators, optogenetics, laser ablation); could we have understood how a black-box microprocessor works by using EE equivalents of these techniques?" It's less about applying equations and more about, say, activating one transistor at a time and seeing what happens.
Can I ask where you got your list of JS graphics/canvas libraries to review?

Discovery is the biggest issue facing any JS canvas library developer - and after ten years I still haven't worked out how to crack that problem.

I won't link to my library here (because: this is a Vector.js thread). Instead I'll link to the Slaylines canvas benchmark test site[1] which includes a good range of libraries.

Yes I am definitely a bit more short sighted than that. I'm most comfortable with reading stuff on my 14" laptop about 12" from my face, so I only ever use it when lounging around, or playing videos.

Never needed to wear glasses, though I was borderline when I did my last check for my drivers license. Maybe eye surgery is something to consider!
95% if my coffee drinking is because I love the taste. The other 5% is due to not wanting a migraine when good coffee is not available. (Like being subjected to instant coffee or Starbucks)

I gave up coffee once. But missed the taste. No desire to give it up.
> As another commenter has said, many great scientific discoveries over history have been made by Christians.

Given that Christianity was the social norm in Europe and many European colonies for centuries, this statement is nearly equivalent to saying that many great scientific discoveries were made by Europeans. It's true, but only slightly interesting.
They really aren't. Some religions or sects might be, but it isn't a fundamental dichotomy. If you look at the history of Christianity and Islam, much good science was done by the faiths.
I fondly remember those. Sure, they may not be efficient or even useful.

But what a boring life I would have if I only ever can have things that are fully efficient or entirely useful. "Just fun" is, imo enough reason for these silly, wobbly burning Windows to exist.
> But I think it's theoretically possible.

That's an unsubstantiated belief, though.

If we simulate a rock right down to the quantum level - not even remotely possible with foreseeable technology, but let's assume it is - you don't end up with an actual rock in the physical universe. You end up with a model of a rock. There are important properties that it's missing due to not having a direct physical embodiment beyond its model. You can't bash someone in the head with it in the physical world, for example.

In the consciousness case, you're assuming you can "get around this" by using communication between the model and the host universe - communication could allow a model a way to have an effect beyond its host environment, unlike the simulated rock.

But this involves a lot of assumptions about the nature of consciousness, its physical basis, how a model of consciousness would behave, etc. Given the number of unknowns here, the claim that "it's theoretically possible" is supported just as well as the claim that it's theoretically impossible - which is to say, not at all.
I agree with what I think you mean, but ‘feels sentient’ is almost catastrophically poor wording. Something that feels [to you, an outside observer] sentient is not necessarily sentient. Something that feels [itself] sentient certainly is, because that’s the literal meaning of sentience (or if by ‘sentient’ you mean something like ‘existing as a subject’, then.. the cogito and all that).
Every previous study I’ve read that’s looked at this states the opposite.
What do you want? For developers to go forcing others to adopt their solution? And do it against the interests of the current elites, and God forbid if VCs get involved because then obviously you are a greedy bastard who just want to exploit a fad?

Do me a favor: go check my project (https://hub20.io/about). If minimally supported, it could very well become THE system to "bank the unbanked". Afterwards go check the "Contribute" link. See how many people are supporting my work.
Further, the 120,000th pound is taxed at 40%. The effective marginal rate of 60% comes from losing the 0% rate benefits for low earners on the 10,000th pound you earnt.

The same thing also happens at 50,000 where you lose your child benefit government handouts, but funnily enough its less discussed yet the comparable rate is 65%.
I'm 6'4" (192cm) and 120kg. I do Capoeira (which I would HIGHLY recommend for fitness, and general good times. It's a blend of martial arts kicks and acrobatic type moves - very dynamic, and visually spectacular). I'm developing my handstand, and strength-wise it's fine, my problem is the fear of falling over backwards. My practice space is hard wood floor, and I do NOT fancy crashing down like a falling tree. If I know the wall is there to catch me if I go over, I'm fine - so I probably need to try with a crash mat or something.
Government is not forcing, it's strongly recommending.

The government is trying to save lifes and succeeded.

Definitely not everything or HPC. I was talking about building services that don’t need granular management of memory.
The non-obvious tip I can give is to keep point feet. This help to stiffen whole body.

Other good exercise is curling on floor in “hollow body”position.

Or if you are like me and trained chest all the time and can’t keep blocked elbows due to that then raising arms while in prayer position is helpful.

And probably for most of people here “dead bug” exercise is needed to learn how to activate core (due to sitting all days)

Edit: I will use this post to promote acroyoga. Check it out guys as lots of techies seem to enjoy it.
This has me perplexed, if it has to do with sunlight, wouldn't then Nordic countries have a very high level of shortsightedness?
Good luck with the plan :)

Under the age of about 1 to 1.5 then you get to call the shots of what happens when. Walk as mu h as you like.

After that age, the kids start to get their own opinions and won't always just do what you want them to do. You may want to go for a long walk, but the kid wants to do something else. They'll spend 95% of the time trying to escape the buggy/stroller or trying to run off or just sit on the floor if they're walking.

At that age we've found that it is best to not have any plans for things you need to do - e.g. don't plan to "walk to the store", because it might take you 25 minutes to go about 200 meters because you need to stop to look at a traffic light or a store front or a car that is red or whatever - i.e. you'll never get to the store without a fight. That said, they usually love the playground though so swings and slides and stuff can replace being a docile lump that you cart around.
“What if I replace the topic of your point with a completely different topic and claim you’re bigoted”

Huh? Walks outside with the toddler are the best. Stick him in either the stroller or bike seat and it’s the only time they sit still.

Guess it’s a bit hard to combine with a baby <6 months, but eventually they should both fit.
That’s a valid point, I think what should be considered though is the interest that the Catholic Church had in encouraging scientific study
I wear glasses and there's nothing wrong with me at the moment either, and I hope it keeps being that way, but the augmented risks mentioned by the GP are real and well-attested.

In fact, many ophtalmologists consider LASIK and their ilk to be cosmetic surgery, because it gets you rid of the glasses, but not of all the other consequences of myopia.
I am by no means in disagreement with you, sure, spring (and javaee) monorepos can grow to barely maintainable complexities, but with the amount of features you listed I have to wonder, would it look any better in another stack? That huge complexity has to live somewhere, and I don’t know of any silver bullet platform managing to remain easy to maintain down that far the “add this feature as well” line.

I would even go as far and claim that the reason Java has this reputation of huge complexity in every monorepo is partly the effect of survivorship bias. Some other stack may have crumbled long before growing to such a monstrosity.

Nonetheless, I would also like to have more of compile-time DI, records, etc, but we shouldn’t just reinvent everything in a heartbeat.

This is just amazing.
Crooked teeth really didn't exist in the farther out past. If you look at the jawbones of Neolithic people, they all have perfectly aligned teeth.

The theory is that we're not chewing hard enough food, which leads to insufficient jawbone growth as a kid, leading to not enough space for your teeth.
Same. Did a 12 hour drive across Europe in a Volvo XC60 with the PilotAssist system and I felt fine. In my previous cars I know I'd be absolutely shattered - in the Volvo with this system the mental load was massively reduced.
I suspect liking the taste is somewhat of a Pavlovian response to the effects caffeine once had on us when we were unaccustomed to the effects of caffeine. In other words, I can't imagine many 15-year olds trying coffee for the first time, thinking "this tastes awesome." That'd explain why many people add sugar and milk into the coffee.
Please explain why you think this is 'bullshit research'

I've seen this approach before - typically someone who wants to be special, pronounces their specialness as unique and wonderful, demands their specialness be recognized, and then screams 'they're discriminating on me because of my specialness', when in fact they're being fired because in their exhaustive (and exhausting) efforts to promote their own specialness, they're not getting work done. They see the writing on the wall, and try to find some way to blame the world around them (discrimination, anti-Whateverism, etc).

To be clear, discrimination exists in this world and it should be abhorred, but if the thing 90% of your coworkers think when they think of you is "Oh, that guy who's always talking about X?" instead of 'That guy who built Y' - you've let your personal identity overwhelm your work identity, and it's not a good career move.
I agree. Some christians consider themselves oppressed if you say “I think everyone who believes in god is wrong,” and interpret the statement “I don’t believe in god” as “I think everyone who believes in god is wrong.” Therefore, they are oppressed until every atheist is completely silenced. Of course, forbidding Christians from talking about their beliefs is also verboten.
> It also sounds like they express their opinion very politely and in a restrained

How is an insult restrained? The reactions are just disrespectful, and I can understand why someone could feel it as some kind of discrimination. Just switch Religion with your preferred technology, hobby or even some political topic, and think about how you would take such reactions, if they come up too often.

> Having opinions and saying them is a free speech, a cherrised cornerstone of the American culture.

Free Speech should also come with respect and manners.
From the video description

> In this video, I utilized artificial intelligence to generate an animated music video for the song Canvas by Resonate. This tool allows anyone to generate beautiful images using only text as the input. My question was, what if I used song lyrics as input to the AI, can I make perfect music synchronized videos automatically with the push of a button? Let me know how you think the AI did in this visual interpretation of the song.

After getting caught up in the excitement around DALL·E2 (latest and greatest AI system, it's INSANE), I searched for any way I could use similar image generation for music synchronization. Since DALL·E2 is not available to the public yet, my search led me to VQGAN + CLIP (Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network and Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training), before settling more specifically on Disco Diffusion V5.2 Turbo. If you don't know what any of these words or acronyms mean, don't worry, I was just as confused when I first started learning about this technology. I believe we're reaching a turning point where entire industries are about to shift in reaction to this new process (which is essentially magic!).

Important note:
While this AI is impressive, it still required additional input beyond just the song lyrics to achieve the music video I was looking for. For example, I added keyframes for camera motion throughout the generated world. These keyframes were manually synchronized to the beat by me. I also specified changes to the art style at different moments of the song. Since many of the lyrics are quite non-specific, even a human illustrator would have a hard time making visual representations. To make the lyrics more digestible by the AI, I sometimes modified the phrase to be more coherent, such as specifying a setting or atmosphere.

This was my first time working with DDV5, and I'm very happy with the results! There were many times where my jaw dropped upon seeing what the AI came up with. I haven't felt this sense of wonder from technology since I first experienced a HD videogame as a child.

It is not the debt based system itself. It is the fact that when no growth occurs or there is even a decline the interest rate doesn't fall low enough, you get a liquidity trap where people keep their money in liquid bank accounts and don't spend it. The money supply in circulation decreases while the money supply in stagnation increases. People save more than others want to be in debt. So the government steps in and "restores" the balance by forcing itself to go in debt. The circulating money supply is necessary for employment and paying off debts.

You need money to be in circulation and the way to do that is by introducing a demurrage fee or negative interest rate which is only paid when people hold onto liquidity for a prolonged period of time.

The problem also exists with a gold standard because people hoard gold instead of letting it circulate.
I wonder if indoor lighting at the appropriate temperature would help prevent this?

It doesn’t, until you install various auto update/preload agents, bloat your shell extensions (popup menus, preview, etc), install “antivirus”, browser plugins, ram eaters, iops eaters, and so on.

Windows can work for years without slowing down, but sadly that requires expertise to maintain. All my relatives who ask to “fix” their laptop don’t have it. And all I do to make them happy is clearing hk{cu,lm}/…/run{,once}, uninstalling “additional useful” software, and that’s mostly it. No background activity - no slowdown.

Sometimes very weak windows computers fall into an update loop when they can’t install updates in one session and are turned off before they have a chance to break out of it. In this case I recommend leaving it on for a day (night), for it to do everything it wants to.
React / Vue is also irrelevant here however. It all depends how your actual prod code is built in the end. (For example you can use React with Next.js and still do all the SSR SSG stuff) In this case you're writing React for your server side rendered pages as opposed to the 'traditional' pattern of an SPA where everything happens in the client.

I feel like this has always been a rather obvious thing...for at least what nearly a century or more? The whole trope of glasses are for nerds. Kids who spend time reading a ton are nearsighted. I understood this in elementary school, when the only kids with glasses were the smart ones. (I hated reading, and did not wear glasses, so was not a 'smart one').

I became nearsighted not long after getting a home computer, for similar reasons. My father, an avid farmer and naturist, is farsighted. It seems pretty obvious your eyes adjust to whatever you spend all day looking at.

That all said, is it bad? Mine was cured with a rather cheap PRK procedure...and I sure wouldn't give up all I've learned for perfect natural eyesight.
