Do we really want to speed up the rate of research much more than what it's already at? Society can hardly keep up with the speed of change we have now. At least the twitch streamers are a mostly neutral force on the world. Can't say the same about those researching facial recognition or new missile guidance systems.

Is there a way to get a monochrome sensor?

I suspect there is no market for it(astronomy perhaps) so the price would be high.

I don't think that works on something like a tower. When they use them on ships they change the voltage of the hull relative to the water but the tower doesn't have a continuous body of water to make a circuit.

Depends on how it’s done. You’d have to be quite the likeable guy to pull that off.

I think I would laugh and probably do it if it was a fun problem. I’d likely end up giving up on it.

That’s not surprising, OpenSSL has terrible code quality and besides that was written in the era of thinking you should unroll all your loops so they go faster.
That isn’t innovation either, it’s just game developers who are too busy to tell us immediate mode gui stories all day. The only innovation it has is solving the problem natural to the web only – dom changes suck, amplified by a historical lack of a cell concept (which is a core disaster). They partially “fixed” that by diffing vdoms. Everything else is just opinionated bargain on top of that.
I actually had the idea to help prevent this quite some time ago but unfortunately lack the skills to bring it to fruition. Maybe someone else can if I put it out there. Likely not, but here goes.

It's rare to impossible for a single institution to maintain all such personal record. The internet archive does a valiant job, but barely scrapes the surface. The only way for this to work is if individuals maintain their own historical record. So the question is how?

I figure most people aren't savvy so a company who provides a storage device, and perhaps services to help gather said data, would be essential. I'm thinking it works like life insurance where someone pays over time and their data is then delivered to them, at the conclusion of any payments, or to their family in the event of a death. Perhaps this could simply be rolled into life insurance or something of the like?

That's the basic gist. Put the power to save this information in the hands of the people to maintain going forward. Like having someone's written notebook kept long into the future. Except it's a storage drive. Tech hurdles there for sure, but with things like MS's Project Silica, and the like, perhaps not insurmountable.
Absolutely!

This makes sense. With interest rates rising I would guess this affects car loans faster than say home loans so consumer demand may go down. Fleet companies like car rentals could purchase additional inventory to meet the Summer demand since their fleets are simpler configurations. Last time I rented a larger vehicle was 2019 and the price then was $104/day. The SUV we got looked like it had been used on a construction site. Now prices are closer to $200/day.
From one to zero!
If someone were to try to do a bulk download of the data (well, or whatever they thought was the most significant data) through the API for preservation purposes, might it put an undue load on your server infrastructure? Some kind
of bulk data download might be useful insurance there.

There seem to be some interesting efforts to run SQLite in the browser so that server infrastructure only has to provide bulk data access, with precomputed indices to avoid full table scans; I wonder if those might be applicable here: https://blog.ouseful.info/2022/02/11/sql-databases-in-the-br... (though of course if you aren't using SQLite as your backend now it might be a headache)

Such an approach, if it were feasible, would have the advantage that bulk data downloads wouldn't look very different from normal use.
I also work weird hours at times, but hold my messages.

> Please don't take a message from me outside your normal hours to mean I want or need an immediate response unless the message is directly talking about a production outage in which case i'll be explicit about that.

This still means they need to wake up everytime a message is received. There are likely other mechanisms for waking them during an outage, but the pressure it still there that it could be related to an outage that did not page them specially.

Similarly, getting a message while you are at a BBQ, family event, or bar will make you start thinking about the problem right away. Potentially removing their mind from the moment they are currently in.

Languages that change the way you think about expressing algorithms (e.g., Forth, Haskell, Lisp, Prolog, Smalltalk) are worth learning. Others are just reskins of languages you probably already know.
At the point you've gotten syscall overhead is definitely going to be a big thing (even without spectre mitigations enabled) -- I'd be very curious to see how far a similar io_uring benchmark would get you.

It supports IOPOLL (polling of the socket) and SQPOLL (kernel side polling of the request queue) so hopefully the fact that application driving it is in another thread wouldn't slow it too much... With multi-shot accept/recv you'd only need to tell it to keep accepting connections on the listener fd, but I'm not sure if you can chain recvs to the child fd automatically from kernel or not yet... We live in interesting times!

I gave up on doctors a long long time ago. I found that I was far better at diagnosing and treating myself than any doctor I've ever met and I've met a lot of them. I get the meds I need on the black/gray market. I can get research peptides that are not FDA approved and they've been great. It is way more effective than anything a PT or even a doctor could do. I also do weightlifting and take special care of my hormones and diet. The ME/CFS is fine these days as well, I had a relapse with the vaccine booster but was able to medicate myself out of it.

Compaq were already using Torx for their products in the 80s and 90s, including some Torx variation screw with a slot cut across.

I don't know whether this was for some simple form of tamper resistance (I do not believe they actually used the security Torx), or rather for some reasons related to manufacturing and maintenance, which I find much more likely.

As the article points out, Torx does have superior torque handling, especially in a time where "lesser" screws may have been more common in PCs, and the use of automatic torque-limiting screwdrivers during manufacture and service would've been an advantage.

It's worth emphasizing this part of the quote from the author:

> But that's not how granting agencies work; they give out one or two year awards, with the understanding that those who are successful will apply for more funding later.

I've worked for a funding agency. It's tough to give out five year grants with no deliverables other than "be a genius". When you are funding basic research you have to be prepared for the idea that lots will fail, and many people will decide to leave. How do you know who is a genius when they are finishing their PhD? Everyone finishing a PhD at Oxford/MIT/Stanford/etc has a very impressive resume and the reality is you can't fund them all.

Two year grants seems a reasonable compromise here.
In 2007, I lived in my car and just had a storage locker. I mostly slept in the computer science building.

In took me roughly 15 years of dealing with this bullshit world to get back to the calm of that time.
I’d prefer it on long press to those 5 “it’s a party” things I can send.
Tbh it's the opposite for me. No more dealing with barely-understandable ghetto-slang from bored teenagers, no more saying "no" to umpteen attempts to "go large" or "do you want fries with that", no more queueing behind someone who wants a burger without a burger - tap tap tap and it's done.

Let's be honest - some retail jobs need the human element, but ordering a burger is not one of them.

The one complaint I have about the machines is that they run out of paper waaay too often, and they don't tell you in advance, so you often end up in a situation where you've paid but you technically have no way to prove it. The best approach at this point is to order through the app.

Considering what Thiago accomplished by forking Neovim, you can’t describe him as an inexperienced developer. By all accounts the cleanup alone was was a huge and very successful effort—-from 300k LOC to 170,000, huge jump in test covereage, modern build chain and code checking with Coverity. He didn’t do it alone, but he led the effort and managed it incredibly well.

Seriously, you don’t have to love Neovim, but credit where it’s due.

Sorry, I meant no need to add anything to the forwarding plane, or interfere with its efficiency at all.

The point is, the really fast part doesn't need to be more complex.

The part that handles new connections needs to be marginally more complicated, but not enough that it should really matter.

Ask HN: Web scraping based on Computer Vision?
Who's developing an approach to web scraping based on computer vision (CV)? I've looked for this but so far not found much beyond [0] -- although the motivations for this are also touched upon by [1].

Scraping is an arms race, of course. A simple but often successful way to fight scraping is, for instance, changing the names of classes routinely. This affects scrapers more than users, because a user doesn't see those class names, while a scraper relies on them.

Is anyone scraping using only (or mostly) computer vision on the rendered browser screen, and simulating mouse clicks and key presses?

It seems like anti-scraping measures to defeat an CV-based approach would be more intrusive to the user and thus they would be used less often.

Thousands of lines of changes in a repo where you have very little context, not just about the change, but about the project as a whole. While you're trying to learn about the project, submitters are hounding you with Slacks to get the review in so they don't miss some arbitrary sprint deadline.

First Blog Post – Permutation Generation Algorithms
Hi Marc (talawahtech)! Thanks for the exhaustive article.

I took a short look at the benchmark setup (https://github.com/talawahtech/seastar/blob/http-performance...), and wonder if some simplifications there lead to overinflated performance numbers. The server here executes a single read() on the connection - and as soon as it receives any data it sends back headers. A real world HTTP server needs to read data until all header and body data is consumed before responding.

Now given the benchmark probably sends tiny requests, the server might get everything in a single buffer. However every time it does not, the server will send back two responses to the server - and at that time the client will already have a response for the follow-up request before actually sending it - which overinflates numbers. Might be interesting to re-test with a proper HTTP implementation (at least read until the last 4 bytes received are \r\n\r\n, and assume the benchmark client will never send a body).

Such a bug might also lead to a lot more write() calls than what would be actually necessary to serve the workload, or to stalling due to full send or receive buffers - all of those might also have an impact on performance.
In the US, do you think that Silicon Valley will always be the center of innovation?
These past couple of years the population of the Bay Area has been on the decline, but rising tech areas such as Seattle (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/surprise-seat....) and Austin haven’t been increasing in population as much as SF has been decreasing (https://neeva.com/search?q=sf%20population%20decrease&src=nv...). I know population isn’t everything but it is a proxy for where the perceived opportunity is.

Terrorism is generally the use of tactics that inflict terror on a civilian population to get a desired effect. The specific exclusion of official government and military actions is motivated reasoning on the part of government officials, who prefer to use nicer euphemisms to describe their own actions.

> on 28 March 1945 the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, sent a memo by telegram to General Ismay for the British Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of the Air Staff in which he started with the sentence "It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of bombing of German cities simply for the sake of increasing the terror, though under other pretexts, should be reviewed...."[13][14] Under pressure from the Chiefs of Staff and in response to the views expressed by Chief of the Air Staff Sir Charles Portal, and the head of Bomber Command, Arthur "Bomber" Harris, among others, Churchill withdrew his memo and issued a new one.[14] This was completed on 1 April 1945 and started instead with the usual euphemism used when referring to strategic bombing: "It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of the so called 'area-bombing' of German cities should be reviewed from the point of view of our own interests....".[15]

(Incidentally, I think you have to stretch even my definition of terrorism to include hacking.. having your power turn off or your bank shut down by hackers is certainly destructive and disruptive, but terror inducing? That's a stretch. It's not like you're trembling in fear wondering if a bomb is going to crash through your roof tonight.)

I'm like this. Got some labs from when I was 36:

HDL: 1.96 normal range 0.90-1.60 ("good" cholesterol, above high normal)

LDL: 2.19 normal range 2.00-3.40

Triglycerides: 0.54 normal range 0.60-2.30 (below low normal, lower is better)

HbA1c: 4.9% normal range 4.5-6.5% (measure of average blood sugar over about 3 months)

I had these results while I was in med school (late bloomer) and having seen a lot of lipids/HbA1c I have to say I have never seen results this good in anybody else. Yes, I am pretty proud of myself!

At one point I ran a half marathon, but that was 4-5 years previous to this. By this point I was on 20 minutes intense cardio 3x week, and heavy weights. By heavy I mean heavy for me, as in I didn't show up at the gym expect to do 3 set of 10 no matter what. If I could do 3x10 of a certain weight, it was time to up the weight for constant improvement.

I ate balanced protein and carbs with some fat, a habit I picked up from Body for Life a long time ago. I ate a lot of chicken, plenty of beef, also fish. I also love candy, and will eat a lot of it while coding or studying. Never skimped on things like popcorn, triple butter please. Love eggs. Love eating out, rich meals and dessert. I have never been vegan or vegetarian. When I really wanted to build muscle, I ate lots of meat.

For a genetic background, I have a sibling who ended up with NAFLD in their early 30s. Aunt and grandfather with T2DM. Mother is on statins now in her late 60s. Generally my family is average build, maybe a big chubbier. I would say my health is 90% effort.

I think the key is, you have to use absolutely everything you put in your body. If you are not building a stronger body with it, it's going to waste.
