And meanwhile there are migrant workers, refugees, and the like who depend on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for basic economic participation. If Bitcoin vanished overnight, they'd be back to being at the mercy of a legacy financial system that shuns them at best and actively exploits them at worst.
Yeah, it's not working though. I bet an engineer that trolls the comments for spam every day, writing one manual filter a day would be pretty effective.
As a kid in the 90’s sitting in the back of the car in a long traffic jam I’d always think of those toy cars that followed an inductive ink path.

My kid brain thought “wouldn’t it be cool if when the light turned green some of that ink bubbled up and all the cars started going at once instead of one after another”

Anyway - as self driving cars have gotten closer and closer to real, I always assumed eventually when most all cars were self driving, there’d be some standardized protocol for cars to coordinate with one another.

It’s hilariously depressing that cars in the same fleet have no interexchange.
Have you been working on actually detecting them or are you assuming they’re easy to detect? Did you go digging for false negatives or false positives in other languages? Considering that not all special characters are printable, these platforms don’t limit their users to ASCII, random foreign words are common in other languages, the false positive rate has to be pretty much zero, etc etc etc I’ll bet it’s a whole lot more sophisticated than you imagine.
It's even worse online where just silencing your opponent is considered a victory.

HN was particularly bad about this with post flagging a few months ago. It was weaponized to hide posts which _someone_ disagreed with, even if the post was later restored the hour to twelve it was offline was enough to astroturf debates.

I'm seeing less of this since GP started getting his own posts flagged. Shame Dang didn't do his job till his boss told him to.
Is there any easy tool out there to deal with paywalls other than paying for every news website out there?
The whole reason that these systems (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and unifying) use 2.4GHz is because it’s unregulated.

So if one Bluetooth device interferes with another, but not other bands, then it won’t be breaking any laws. But it might be breaking a contract about the use of the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi logos.
Render to pixels. If they look about the same, but are different, that is a high signal for spam.
Terrible idea. This amplifies turbo capitalism. You'd have to squeeze everything out of a trademark. Otherwise someone else finds out about the potential and bids according to it.

Yeah. It also does nothing to solve an insider sharing nonpublic information with a third party investor (with whom he/she then in some way share the profit made by trade).

Thanks for the link. Pretty impressive.
It is not like the citizens of Rotterdam are involved in this shipyards business. The shipyard is not even in Rotterdam (Alblasserdam), but its ships have to go to sea.
Also, the dutch shipyarding business is quite secretive about the actual buyer, partly due to the controverse that may arise.

On top of that, 'De Hef' is one of the most iconic historic bridges in the Netherlands and especially for the citizens of Rotterdam.
Anecdotal and the opposite effect.

When I was a kid I used to keep lizards as pets. I quickly noticed that if I filled up the water trays with cold water it would evaporate within a day from the hot heat lamps. Hot or very warm warm out of a kettle would last much much longer. I made a study as a science experiment for school and scored badly as the teacher said it was impossible.
You are right, apologies.
This could lead to market manipulation by disclosing you're going to make a trade the next day, then not executing it.
Exactly. Work, work, work, and then let the mind wander on its own and… Somehow eventually it dawns on you.
I've never thought about how it works on a technical level, but my guess is you just draw a random line across the image field and the widths of the barcode encoding characters are designed such that the dot-dash pattern produces distinct beat frequencies as the laser traverses. Your "software" is basically a FFT transform and then you look for your target pattern within your designed beat frequency range, so as long as the beam will randomly cross the barcode a reasonable amount the signal will pop out of the noise, and it's completely irrelevant which direction you go (although you do need to go along it not across it - hence it being wide and not square). Yeah it's not zero computational power but by the 70s you can bring a shitty fixed-function FFT chip to market for cheap enough, with the CMOS revolution and all.

People underestimate how much can be done with spectrographic watermarks like that, they're resistant to scaling (because harmonics), rotation and flipping (because it's not about any one position... it's about the beat frequencies between them), translation (of course), etc. That's iirc how the Eurion Constellation works - the patterns form a spectrographic fingerprint, but in 2D instead of just a 1D beat frequency. But it pops right out of a fft so you can put it into random copiers and printers.

I went to look up a source to describe the Eurion Constellation scheme (I'm not sure if an academic description exists given the commercial and sensitive nature?) and they brought up the practice of microprinting (of the super fine lines) and that probably is detectable with FFT and edge detection.

https://murdoch.is/projects/currency/

I wonder if phase (of micro-printed regions) would also work similarly to how frequency fingerprinting does?

Blame YouTube and attention metrics for that. Neon text and stupid human cutouts on video splashes is what happens when you optimise for attention hooks.

> The taxi driver having 0% chance of raping or stealing you would be prominent a clear win.

I find it interesting that this gets mentioned so much - I’ve done some moderate googling for cases of rape by a cab driver in Berlin and the last case that went to court was in 2013 - and even that is not a classic case of premeditated rape (+) There is one case later where a passenger raped a taxi driver and one where two rapists pretended to be Uber drivers - they could not have easily pretended to be taxi drivers in Germany since the cars need to have very specific signage and equipment.

Now, this doesn’t mean that no rape occurred - after all not every rape case gets reported - but it certainly indicates that the risk of being raped in a taxi in Berlin is low.

Things may be different in the US, but even there my initial assumption is that the risk gets overestimated since this is the kind of crime that gets overrepresented in the news.

(+) the passengers didn’t want to pay the fare and threatened the driver who then pulled out a gun and forced them to have sex as payment. Still rape, no question, but not a premeditated rape case.
> As with many of things related to self-driving cars, the target doesn't have to be "perfection" so much as "better than people on average".

I have an issue with that argument, because it's typically being used together with highly disingenuous statistics (like Teslas our FSD has less accidents per mile than normal drivers) to give the impression that autonomous driving is anywhere close to being "better than people on average". This is just not the case at least not in any region with a broad variety of weather conditions.

> Human drivers do dumb things in large groups all the time, like highway pileups in bad weather, or rubbernecking traffic jams.

Considering that most autonomous driving doesn't even work in really bad weather, I'd argue that humans are still much better despite the pileups.
A comment here. It seems to me insects are all over the place in abandoned land. But here we have most of the land alongside the road planted (and sprayed I guess). Which is to say, farmers are killing bugs near their plantation. So, no surprise there.
I empathize with skepticism that a lot of people show towards centralized authority, but I have yet to see a meaningful proposal for an alternative that doesn't not ultimately rely on some sort of equally implicit trusted entity.

I don't think the answer here is to loudly proclaim that _all_ registries of persons are a terrible idea. We do need to ensure that the data is being handled appropriately which it absolutely is not being on any level. We need accountability and for that to occur we need an engaged and educated population.
My experience was not good when I used the MX Master 3 with bluetooth. The cursor would sometimes lag which probably due to interference.

I never looked back since switching to the unifying receiver.
I use vim for a living. I need it to work. Always. Neovim in my experience hasn't been as stable, not by a longshot. Neovim adds things I don't care about (lua, lsp, treesitter) while taking away things that are essential to me (gvim, rock solid stability).

I see the neovim community holding up lua as a holy grail, rewriting entire vimrc configs just for the sake of it (even though a vimscript vimrc is much easier to read than a lua one) and rewriting rock solid existing vim plugins in lua, resulting often in a less stable and less feature complete plugin. But hey, it's now written in lua so it MUST be better!
I am completely and positively shocked by how little has been going wrong (as in upsetting the public order, damaging property or killing people) with AI driving over the last couple of years, considering the whole world is watching and the press is always happy to report on the next train wreck. Either it's the best cover up operation of all time or all the devs are actually a great right mix of skilled and careful.
Is this literally true?
That's a sour grapes reaction if I've ever seen one. "Oh, those billionaires with their fancy yachts, you wouldn't catch me dead in one".

This tech is probably a couple of years away from being useful in very specific niches, and in all likelihood about a decade from regular street use. Until then, good luck getting your hands on one, let alone having it vie for your attention. And then... you can just not wear one.

I'm sorry for being a bit abrasive, but I've never understood this kind of negativity, and on HN of all places. Outdoor advertising is getting a huge slice of our attention, and we're worried about contact lens prototypes? Is this a cool tech forum or what?
That was kind of my read too. Focus on the small things you can control to make up for the loss of control over the big things.

Inputs like what the humans inside the car are saying should be part of the decision making process. Like everyone inside shooting "DRIVE! DRIVE! DON'T STOP THE Fxxx CAR!". That should lower some thresholds for deciding to stop the car, as with a real human driver.

You can easily outsource app development project to Agicent on fixed price by defining project details in prior. However, there are times when our customers need to for longer term and hire mobile apps developers regular nature of work. Such customers are either technology companies themselves, or enterprises or startups in need of an App Developers team that work like an extension of their inhouse development team.

Depending upon the size and urgency of your need, you can hire a single app developer from Agicent, or a team of app developers, or a team having a mix of mobile apps developers, web developers, Testers, and business analysts. Our app developer rates start from $ 15 per hour, and we can always have good commercial options for a monthly fee. And for any App developer for hire contract, Agicent assigns you a Project Supervisor for free, who ensures that your project goes smooth and also acts as an escalation point.

Yes, clearly given the detail in your post, you are "not an expert". Thanks for being on HN and making this site great.
YCM is a plugin for Vim.
Time will tell what this issue is but the person reporting it is leveraging controversy to get clicks here. I suspect manufacturing issue.

The SSD performance problem on the 256Gb models is a massive problem though.

Although after all this I'm still not sure why the M2 MBP exists. By the time it's useful it costs nearly as much as the MBP 14" for the same spec which is far superior. And if you want to cheap it out, the M1 MBA is probably a better deal because it's far cheaper and perfectly adequate.
Left Facebook for quite awhile now. Got punished with post restrictions for quoting Futurama's Bender's "kill all humans" under friend's status update of how he's gonna watch the show after a hard workday. I mean, it utterly failed to deliver the very core basic feature it's supposed to - random socializing with your friends. My pal still doesn't have a clue I'm a fan of Bender.
Those sources seem to talk about the functional paradigm, when your original claim was about lisp syntax.

It took me reading Practical common lisp to appreciate the Lisp origins of Python (down to documentation strings and a lot of other details).

As a counter datapoint, I have seen people responsible for designing custom parts in Autocad (back in the day when you had to issue commands) master the lisp syntax without giving it a second thought. I found it weird for 5 minutes when I was maybe 12-14 (we had some course about it in school, I don't remember exactly)

You don’t need to share your theories on someone’s death to the world. It’s not your place and serves no purpose.

When I had a friend that was well-known in the tech world pass, all sorts of people came out with conspiracy theories on what his “real” cause of death was. To the bereaved, coming across random theories just hurts. Outside of that, opining without any medical expertise or insights on how he died serves no one but your own ego

Same for my 12yo son. He seemed to have connected very well with his audience.
His company pays design and UX experts a huge amount of money to come up with designs that work for users, not for him personally. Meta isn't Zuckerberg's toy. Ignoring that expertise, and designing for himself instead of users, is failing the shareholders by wasting money and not maximizing revenue.

The parallel to Steve Jobs is a fair one, except that Steve was brilliant at design and UX and got things right. He wasn't bothered about tiny details like the padding on a single button but rather the design of the entire system, and he picked up on things that didn't sit in the overall architecture brilliantly.

He also drove people to leave Apple, and that was a bad thing. Things aren't right or justifiable just because they're like things Steve did. Sometimes he got things wrong, particularly when it came to managing people.
> They have a functioning prototype. Who are you and why does your opinion matter?

I'm allowed to share my opinion on here, it's an internet forum dude. Besides, I don't need a PhD to work out that I don't want to put that thing on my eyeball, or that some of the claims are pretty fantastical compared to the proof given.

If they put their prototype on Marques Brownlee or Linus and they said it was good then I would be inclined to believe it. But the CEO being the only wearer and then saying "wowowoww my product is so good this is amazing" isn't too convincing to me.

There are plenty of functional prototypes that never become a viable product. This, to me, has the smell of a company that won't be able to bring the product to fruition.
In my career I have repeatedly seen people regret ignoring portability. Some times because the old supplier went out of business. Some times because CEOs had a big fight. But mostly out of carelessness. I do not really care as it has been a source of a lot of my work. But it is very important: Be portable.

What happens if you get kicked off AWS?

What happens if Oracle goes broke?

What happens if Sun decides it will not let Java run on MacOS?

Etcetera. Often there is limited possibility for portability (people often thought programming in Java made things portable - they were partly right) but each element of lock in you allow must have a very good reason.

In my experience it is usually not a consideration.
All bluetooth audio dongles work like that, from all manufacturers. They'll automatically connect to the first open audio devices they see, so you shouldn't leave the dongle plugged when not used. It is very infuriating when you have a neighbor that plugs their dongle all the time and it constantly connect to your bluetooth headphone the moment you put it to pairing mode.

> I love Swift’s syntax. So much of the repetitive boilerplate code that was necessary for C++ melted away in Swift, leaving only code necessary to represent the logic, making the meaning clearer.

I switch between Python, Swift, and C++, and it's funny how both Python and C++ make me wish I were writing Swift, albeit for different reasons.
Hardly. A lot of what they do is likely filibuster.
Though Lisp does not use the kind of a rule-based term rewrite system for computation, like Mathematica.
Why did that stop happening? I remember back in the early 2000s you might even come across a live concert where an incoming text message got caught in the PA and broadcast to the entire audience.
No worries.

> How does the shape look like?

> example

The shape is a list of natural numbers. Its length is the number of dimensions in the array, and each element is the length of the corresponding axis. For instance, suppose the contents of the array are the numbers 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23. Then, if the shape is 2 3 4, that is a 2x3x4 brick. The length of the array is 24 (being the product 2*3*4), and the structure may be elucidated by the following tabular display:

0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11

12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23

Applying the permutation 1 2 0 to this shape yields an array of shape 3 4 2, and requires the following result:

0 12
1 13
2 14
3 15

4 16
5 17
6 18
7 19

8 20

I am very confused why this got down voted.. I'm on the spectrum myself, and I see a lot of my own "sense of how things work" in his behavior (not the cheating, but the tendency to put my own sense of logic above the feelings of others), it just seems he is much less able understand that while his behavior may seem logical to him, it hurts and deprives his partner, and that he needs to do more, even if he can't really feel why.
