It's built into the meters based on a hardware ID code, so any particular meter will only accept a certain set of highly sensitive operations on particular days. So if you need to shut off Mrs. Miggins for non-payment (not legal to do remotely without sending an engineer at present but technically possible) or switch her meter to pre-pay (which is legal) then that command might only be acceptable to the meter once every 20 days. That does mean you can't immediately do it if you're the supplier but also limits the damage that a catastrophic compromise of the smart metering security system can do.

I think you were getting trolled. The auto focus from day one has been excellent and has only gotten better as they have been releasing updates. I own one and don't really care to take part in forum mudslinging, but I would seriously question anyone who thinks that the autofocus is anything but good (for MILC).
Disclaimer: IANA scientist of any sort, just a huge nerd.

I've been interested in astronomy since I learned to read, and JWST has been planned for most of my life(all but 2 years if you count all explorations of ideas for a post-hubble telescope since about 95). I've been waiting for this my whole life, so this feels like a strangely personal event to me even though I had nothing to do with it myself. It's so hard to even put into words the tremendousness of this technological and scientific achievement, so I won't try.

Anyway, enough sap.

I'm super stoked that they've already started taking spectra of exoplanets. This one was sort of an "easier" one but the detail was unprecedented as with all the other observations. I can't wait to see some results on some of these smaller rocky planets in their star's "goldilocks zone".

These are the planets that have simply been out of reach until now, and are the most interesting in terms of searching for signs of life.
I don't know. My 10 year old dslr has much more detail than an iPhone. IPhones photos basically can't be cropped. Even uncropped, when I see a photo at almost full screen size on my 27" monitor, it looks pretty crappy.

Of course you can argue for social media it doesn't matter. But that's another point. And for things such as YouTube it's incredibly noticeable when a video is properly filmed vs using a phone (see Mkbhd "secret" iPhone recorded videos)

The former. This was back in the days when CGI was popular and it was common for the URL path to point to the file that served the application, with the web server recognizing that it should execute the file rather than serve it. In this case the misconfigured web server didn't execute the file but rather served it up as if it were a regular file.

When selling my last house, I invited 3-4 local realtors for appointments. 3 showed up with some printed comps and gave me a general idea of list price right then. The last showed up, walked through the house, asked about upgrades I had made etc etc then said "Let's meet again in a few days when I've had a chance to accurately price your place." He got the sale.
Mirrorless is incredibly common. Every major player has a full range of mirrorless options. Pentax is the last holdout not offering a mirrorless option.

The last market segment that was holding out was the Pro and Prosumer segment since initially mirrorless lagged on feature parity, especially in AF. Mirrorless cameras have effectively reached parity now.

Now there is, in real use, no advantage to SLR type cameras, and, pure guess, mirrorless are probably cheaper to make since you can dispense with an entire mechanical assembly.

Many people were working these jobs without realising what a bad deal it was. They were kicked out during the pandemic and learned that any other job is better.

The only thing that was keeping this jobs in place is imperfect knowledge. Most job seekers have a limited knowledge as only know their own past jobs and the ones from close people (and to talk about pay is quite taboo in many countries). And that is how we got here. Even when there is public information, many people have a hard time understanding the implications of the statistics and concrete job differences.

Corporations have thousands of data points and share salary statistics between them.

Staying at home and even firings have helped some people to gain that knowledge.
Tail-call elimination applies to any function which calls another function as the last action.

Turning this into a loop is only possible when the function calls itself, not when it calls another function, and not (naively) when two functions call each other in the tail position.
I've used modern Fujifilm (X-Pro 1-2-3, XT-1-2-3-4, X100 series), Sony (A7s3), Nikon (Z7) and other mirrorless cameras and I still hate the experience. Battery life is not great. I don't need or want exposure preview. The refresh rate will never match a SLR. With every camera there was a feeling of being detached from the scene and subject because of the EVF and almost every EVF gives me a headache after a few minutes of using it. The user experience on the whole has been more frustrating and less reliable than something like a Nikon D3 which just kind of gets out of the way when I am making images.

The accurate autofocus is nice but I would rather have an older flagship DSLR than any modern mirrorless camera. The only exception I might make is for a more recent Leica M camera, but that's only because I've sold one and would like to use those nice tiny little lenses again.

> Thanks, but how is the sausage made then?

I can't tell you because I wasn't looking over the shoulder of whoever made the image, but at a guess they started off from a black and white image, then turned it into an RGB image and change the various hues until relevant details became easier to see. The reason that that works is because a large scale structure has areas that emit at roughly the same intensity so you can bring these out by colorizing such a range with a gradient around a single hue.

This is not an automated process because a computer would not know what we humans find 'interesting structures', if you could put that into some form of definition then you might be able to automate the process in the same way that black-and-white images are automatically colorized (which works, but which is sometimes hilariously wrong).

As for the sausage, how it is made is interesting, how it tastes is from a PR perspective probably more interesting. And regardless you could argue that anything that differs from an utterly black square is 'not truthful'.
Email dang otherwise it might never get fixed. There is just too much volume everyday.

Racism is bad because it is logically flawed, and the (im)morality of it derives from this logic. The logic is simple: individual behavior cannot be inferred by any prejudice against their group. From that, the immorality of racism is clear.

You are putting the horse before the cart by saying that something is bad first, regardless of whether or not it is logical. If you are saying feudalism is bad (again, I don't know enough on the subject to speak about it), but it is consistent with my logic, then you have to explain how the logic is flawed, which you have already asserted in your previous post.

Producing an "image" of a black holes requires astronomical, ahem, resolution because they're so far away (thankfully). To achieve this kind of resolution you need an aperture of thousand of kilometers.

The EHT images are created using synthetic aperture techniques to create an effective aperture with a diameter of earth's orbit around the sun. But this is only currently possible at radio frequencies due to our ability to capture, store, and coherently combine the phase information. It's essentially SDR beam forming across space and time.

We can also study black holes though visible and IR observations through their effects of the things around them-- lensing from their mass, matter heated up by falling in. Here is an image I took of the relativistic speed matter jet believed to originate from black hole in M87: https://nt4tn.net/astro/#M87jet ... and Webb can do a lot better than I can with a camera lens in my back yard. :)

Aside, there is some controversy about the EHT black hole images. A recent paper claims to be able to reproduce the ring like images using the EHT's imaging process and a simulated point source-- raising the question of the entire image just being a processing artifact. https://telescoper.wordpress.com/2022/05/13/m87-ring-or-arte... Though it's not surprising to see concerns raised around cutting edge signal processing-- LIGO suffered from a bit of that, for example, but confidence there has been improved by a significant number of confirming observations (including optical confirmations of ligo events).

So far the consensus seems to be that GaSaaS doesn't scale.

I would like to protest this sentiment.

With technology, you can empower non-wizards to give substantially more of a shit than they otherwise would be able to.

The danger lies in the specific nature of those technological implementations and the engagement models applied to their usage. Today, our models look something like "fuck your dopamine loop as hard and fast as possible without any subsequent regard for anything at all"

There's absolutely no reason to make an arrow function a regular function just because it goes past a certain number of lines.

For fun, get your English-accented acquaintances to pronounce "drawing".

Officially, the Queen's English says this is pronounced "drawing". But most Brits feel compelled to insert an R, "drawRing".

Good way to make BMW drivers who aren't entirely filthy rich to start seeing the issues with capitalism.

Heated seats are unimportant in the scale of things, but this is also how capitalism approaches something you literally have no option to do without like health care.

Also since this is _Hacker_ news, it should probably be mentioned that a MIG welder could probably be used to put whatever seats you like into an old used BMW. Buy the body and powertrain that you want, cheaply, do your own maintenance, then fit the aftermarket bells and whistles yourself to make it comfortable.
If this were true then cryptocurrency would not replace regular currency for drugs, assassinations, and dark market activities generally.

> I disagree. A large percentage of the DSLR market are hobbyists who want to feel professional, just like with musical instruments, sports equipment and so on. Amateurs outnumber professionals by 1000:1 or more.

And tons of people who want to have a youtube channel. Hell there are lots of people that use a SLR just for their zoom calls.

As a hobbyist photographer myself I can confirm that I spend serious amount of money on equipment that is pro-level. The last camera I got was the Nikon Z6 Mark II, which is an entry-level pro camera. Why? Because "The picture quality matters" and it feels good to have a really nice camera when you're standing around a bunch of other hobbyists who all have pro cameras.

For the most part the people who take photos with their phones were never really buying DSLRs. They were buying all the other digital cameras. When you go for a DSLR you're wanting to control everything, shutter speed, the aperture, etc. You want to be able to go wide-lens, tele-lens, you want to be able to choose between 2000/second and 100/second. You want to do time delay.

If you're even half interested in taking good photos you're looking to get a DSLR even if you don't understand everything. You can look at the photography sites for hobbyists such as youpic.com and 500px.com. These sites are full of people sharing their hobby photos and you'll find 1-2 out of hundreds using their mobile.

Things like looking for IR spectra of water vapor in the atmosphere of planets outside of our solar system we can't even do from earth, since our own atmosphere is not transparent at those wavelengths due to the water in it. (ditto for oxygen).

A thing they mentioned in the presentation today but mostly only in passing, was that images like that deep field image were captured with only something like a dozen hours of data collection and had better resolution and much better SNR and many more far redshift objects visible at all than an image of the same scene that took Hubble weeks of data collection to make.

I did not object at all to you raising what you feel is a valid warning. Nor, as far as I see did the other poster, they simply disagreed politely.

My comment about you overreacting wasn't about the definition of what is/n't safe for work/life, but that you referred to one polite disagreement as “people being outraged”.

> Also, I would say your work is unusually lax if you see nothing wrong with pulling up bikini images there.

Deliberately pulling up such images, perhaps for the purposes of ogling them, would be inappropriate. Happening upon them while taking a break and looking as at random site would not, any more than there would be an issue with such an image coming up as you browse a newspaper that happens to have an image of that sort illustrating an article about the current heatwave, or some holiday offer, or a beech fashion event. Sensible rules have room for context.

I find your comment on empathy ironic, given the rest of this bit of thread!
Japan seems content with "Japan" for now but they have been trying to get English speakers to say Japanese names with the family name first recently, but it hasn't really caught on outside of state organs. Note this NHK article about the funeral of "Abe Shinzo" attended by current PM "Kishida Fumio." https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220712_31/ (NHK is a state-run public broadcaster.)

I do wonder why we say Chinese and Korean names in the proper "backwards" order but have historically flipped Japanese names.
(Disclaimer: I am not an astronomer)

As you may be aware, all digital images are composed of a color palette applied to monochrome images, it just so happens that we usually pick a color palette of red, green, and blue, which ideally correspond as closely as possible to the three wavelengths of light to which the imaging sensors in our cameras (and also our eyes) are sensitive, thus reproducing what our eyes would see in person.

In the case of JWST, mid- and far-infrared sensors were chosen for several reasons, the first being that due to the accelerating expansion of the universe, light from further away (equivalently, light from further back in time) has been stretched out along its path of travel, causing its wavelength to be shifted further into the infrared spectrum. Another possible reason is that infrared wavelengths penetrate the interstellar dust clouds much better than visible or ultraviolet light, allowing us to see stars and galaxies that were previously hidden by dust.

Since JWST captures wavelengths of light that we can't see, we have to apply some sort of visible-light palette to the monochrome images it sends back. At the bottom of this image, you can see which wavelengths were mapped to which visible-light colors: https://stsci-opo.org/STScI-01G7N9A6934R1WRWBJY1ZXB98B.png
One key aspect of this mapping is that the order of wavelengths has been preserved; shorter IR wavelengths are colored blue while longer ones are colored red. It's likely that this mapping is non-linear though, so the relative distances between IR wavelengths are not the same as the distances between the hues in the image, and this mapping was chosen to maximize the visible detail in the resulting image, as well as to highlight scientifically relevant information such as dust clouds and areas of star formation, so it's not totally arbitrary.

In addition, the dynamic range of JWST is much much larger than the pixels in any display. The raw data values probably range from 0 to some hundreds of thousands, while your display's pixel brightness can only go from 0 to 255 (or maybe 1023, if you have a 10-bit HDR display). While we could simply map the maximum pixel value to 255 and compress everything else in between, this would lose nearly all of the detail present in the darker regions of the images, compressing them to 0. Instead, a non-linear brightness mapping is applied, to best represent all the information present in darker regions without blowing out the bright stars and galaxies.

So to answer your questions, the colors shown in the images are not what you would see in person. Without any enhancements you probably wouldn't be able to see much if any of the dust clouds, and many of the redder galaxies would not be visible to you at all, while all the rest would be different hues than the ones shown (probably mostly whites, yellows, and reds).
Everyone saying it doesn't scale is missing the point.

Scaling is a winner-take-all, venture capital mindset. The article is about service businesses, which do not need to hit web scale! We are talking about services here not your web startup.

Even beyond services, giving a shit and building saas is not impossible. In fact, I wish more tech companies started small and stayed small. I absolutely want to run a digital small business and I want to give a shit, it makes the building feel purposeful instead of this product-led growth at all costs bullshit.

I hope we see a software middle class grow in the next decade. Middle class tech companies are going to be coming from the bootstrapper + founder focused funds (TinySeed / Calm) and they are going to have a distinct advantage if they understand their strategy/context in their chosen verticals.
Seems like we're seeing this pattern across the board in the economy: shortages of labor, and salaries aren't increasing enough to lure people in. Are employers unable to raise salaries, or are they unwilling? If they are unable, where does this leave us if no one can afford the price of labor? If they are unwilling, is this just a game of chicken to see who blinks first between employees and employers?
