That's... certainly one way to create a community, but not the one I'd go for.

The other way to make a community is to have things "just work" as much as possible, and become a standard to the point where only masochists commonly use anything else.
I love Jeff’s channel.

Very entertaining and I learn a ton.

I have a Raspberry Pi NAS with 10TB (2TB of redundancy) but it’s in a box made out of MDF. And while I had fun making it, let’s just say I’m not a woodworker.

> I always wonder what specifically marked the turning point for web usability. Too many dark UX patterns, popups, ads and extremely heavy frameworks for extremely simple sites.

It's funny that you include popups in that, because actual popups are almost nonexistent today, whereas they were ubiquitous in the early 2000s web.
That particular bound wasn't. Others were. For example: Millikan's value for the electron charge was about .995 of the current best measurements. That was about a century ago. So either someone was wrong, the average rate of change has dramatically increased recently (in which case the universe is conspiring against physicists and all bets are off), or human biochemistry is significantly younger than human civilization.
Bitcoins can't be printed out of thin air. People can't own billions of them. Yes, you're missing something.

New bitcoins are generated at a fixed, hardcoded rate. First off, the software can't be changed to emit Bitcoins at a different rate just because banks might want to.

And if the software is changed to emit Bitcoins at a different rate, Bitcoin owners will say "Hey, this changes the rules, it's not fair, I'm leaving." They'll sell their Bitcoins and buy some other cryptocurrency that didn't change the rules.

With banks you can't say "this isn't fair, I'm leaving." With cryptocurrency you can.
I disagree with most of what you said (as well as most of the opinions in the article)

I'm sure you have your reasons for your opinions, but you didn't define them, you just said "no this, trust me" essentially.

You did expand on usage of the Context API but I agree with your opinion already on that one.
Averaged out globally that might be the case, but any one location might experience temperature spikes like that. Consider the Pacific Northwest “heat dome” that we got last summer, featuring temperatures 10-20C above normal. They indeed maxed out out at 50C in the village of Lytton, BC, which burned to the ground as a result.

I worked on framerworks like this. Heck, I built a (horrible, internal only) one once.

The issue with this was that it broke direct linking to pages, or created such ugly and long URLs that they were weren't "sharing" friendly.

It was horrible, and cookies were (and remain) a much better solution.

The citations on Wikipedia articles are often either broken, in a foreign language, or not up to an academic standard. However, following this practice is what eventually lead me to stop using Wikipedia for anything. When I tried to trace the citations to make my research easier, I found it actually made it a lot slower because I kept running into junk. Before I actually paid attention to the citations on a broad selection of articles, I was under the mistaken belief that Wikipedia was "good enough."
Good read.

Google isn't the core problem. It's all the other bottom feeders using the same technologies as Google to engage in mass surveillance. Google's inertia enables the bad actors to persist. Even with Google, the data they have on you isn't safe against an overly broad warrant.

Not alone. I love it. I want my DE to "just work" and I don't want to customize it or hunt for programs in a "start menu". Give me my hot corner and a short list of apps any day so I can get to work. Happy to type in to launch less commonly used ones the few times a month I actually need them.

As a bonus, Gnome 3 is incredibly easy on the eyes (subjective of course). I think probably a close competitor to macOS in looks category.
Nothing really, but it's just one extra layer of inconvenience. If you can edit full res, it's nice to be able to (especially for color grading and cropping purposes).
This is just confirmation bias. Let me present an alternate view: Microsoft is a corporation that wants to make $$$.

1. Making OpenGL a compatibility layer on top of DirectX simplifies the stack, and helps Microsoft save $$$. (Apple doesn't support OpenGL 4.4+, is that "psychotic ill-intentioned"?)

2. Giving things away for free costs $$$. (If the EU demanded that IBM provide an open interface to its mainframes, do you think they would comply eagerly? Would it be "psychotic ill-intentioned" if they didn't?)

3. Standards are almost never followed by the company with a dominant position. Standards benefit companies that are not dominant in the market. Adhering to standards as the dominant player in the market = wasted $$$.

4. Trusted computing puts PCs on the same footing as Playstation/Xbox and allows content to be streamed without risk of piracy. That's the simplest explanation. A lot of people would like to stream 4k netflix on their PCs, but they can't because piracy is too great a concern. More popular features = more $$$.

5. This has nothing to do with Windows vs Linux. Regardless, plagiarizing your competitor makes you more $$$.

6. It should come as a surprise to no one, owning property makes you more $$$. (If Nintendo buys a game studio, is that also "psychotic"?!)
(Not the OP) For background, this is the company that supposedly locates gunshot sounds in cities (and sometimes battlefields) by microphone triangulation. It doesn't work all that well and is selectively deployed in minority areas and is used by police to selectively enforce crimes, sometimes also altering the evidence. Vice did a few articles on them and the company tried to sue but had it tossed out. Shady all around.

There’s a page with a paper and video about to their Just-In-Time compilation engine: http://rgl.epfl.ch/publications/Jakob2022DrJit

It relates to GPU ray tracing because the engine can compile either CPU or GPU specific code, specialized to the available hardware and tailored to the specific scene data; makes it so you can render faster than otherwise.

I think it's the other way around.

The lack of expressivity is a strength. My idea of a good programming language is heavily focused on making it hard to write bugs.

The more flexible the language, the harder it is for the compiler to understand it, and the more you encourage random tinkering over bog standardness.

Great for academic language, but in production, the ideal language tries it's best to keep you from doing anything clever.

Core language features tell me that the designers said "This is common, let's provide this one way to do it and not bother with enabling any other ways".

It’s hard to compare economies over such timescales, but in terms of PPP per capita the US was shockingly flat from 1776 to 1900.

The overall GDP exploded due to a larger population and industrialization was in full swing, but people where also forced to farm more marginal land in the mid west largely using the same techniques from 130 years prior. The US started with extreme abundance of old growth forests, wild animal and fish populations, and farming some of the most productive land on the planet. The US was considered a land of opportunity for so long largely because there was so much to exploit, but people didn’t move to the west and then Alaska because the economy was booming.

From 1900 to 1970 things far more consistently expanded with multiple boom times, but the Great Depression also shouldn’t be ignored. If anything it shows that a steady and growing economy is largely preferable to one with moderately faster growth but significantly more wild swings.

For me it was this + small form factor + high pixel density. I always looked at System76 and the laptops were too big and the displays were disappointing. Other sellers seemed similar or were just refurbishing, except Dell briefly, but I never trusted them. Hardware integration is just very nice to have.
>A Cinema body has a lot more room for heat sinks, and can more easily accommodate fans

And yet, you'll still see cameras on hot sets with bags of ice around them because these heat sinks and fans cannot keep up. The original Red One was notorius for overheating. I have BMD Ursa Mini that was struggling in 105 degree temps. Big body does not mean over heating is solved. Personally, the camera that I've used that best handled heat was Sony's F55. Shooting interior of an old van with sun beating down through a window in the roof directly on the camera, 110 degrees inside the van (yes it was miserable), and the camera never once complained (unlike the cast&crew).

What does this phrase mean?
The web is SO much more usable now than at anytime earlier.

For example, browsers used to actually allow pop-up windows (as in it would open a new desktop window (not a tab), sometimes off-screen). And then when you closed it the browser would let it spawn more pages.

There was a common pattern of spamming popup windows with a "close" button the same place a "run" button was when you downloaded an executable in Windows 95.

And then after closing 10 windows with the button in the same place they'd hit you with an executable download.

This was common.
Right, but that's a feature not bug.

It seems like this means artists would mostly be needed for creative art, e.g. spaceships, monsters, etc. That is, things that don't exist, so can't be photographed.

But there are already commercial and free libraries of commonplace items like furniture, cars, and buildings. So isn't what I described pretty close to the same situation today already?

If you're interested in fundamental valuation, there are quite a few great resources.

I highly recommend starting with:

Value: The Four Cornerstones of Corporate Finance

Investment Valuation, by Aswath Damodaran

I also recommend Aswath's blog https://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com/

If you enjoyed the article, you might be happy to know there are several other analysis pieces on the Invariant Substack that cover specific companies and walk through valuation methodologies. There will also be many more pieces like this in the future.

Please sub and comment on the Listerine piece, as I'd love to correspond on the platform, and I'd be happy to provide guidance/answer further questions regarding valuation. If you provide any kind of identifier for your sub email, I'm also happy to answer questions and bounce idea via email. I'm always looking to connect with other curious people that love finance.
Jeff edits on a Mac with a 10 gigabit nic; he says as much in the article. Unless he's in an odd duck situation with an SFP device connected to his Mac I'm not sure what value going to SFP and back would add?
Wow, thanks for the link. I had no idea about this.

Promotional material issued by ATSC claimed that the ADE 651 could detect such item as guns, ammunition, drugs, truffles, human bodies, contraband ivory and bank notes at distances of up to 1 kilometre (0.62 mi), underground, through walls, underwater or even from aircraft at an altitude of up to 5 kilometres (3.1 mi).[12] In a promotional video, McCormick claimed that the device could detect elephants from 48 kilometres (30 mi) away.[13]

>"infinite context"

No.

That's a pretty poor straw man. As I said, literally seconds would have done it. Heck 3 more words would have done it. "I created Gnome."

Besides which, the article was written by someone who was also around and claims insider knowledge closer in time to the events than when Miguel was involved with Gnome.

It was a low effort comment that did not coincide with HN standards. You can't talk your way around that.

Miguel is hardly enough of a household name, nor does he appear to have been involved with RedHat circa Gnome 3 such that his 3 word low effort comment can stand, with his username, on its own.
This shouldn't be a problem if there's no actual dog present, only a robotic dog.
Be careful on licensing anything that gets linked/deployed in to the customers environment. There are many large and small enterprises with “strenuous review” policies, if not blanket bans, on licenses like AGPL. This is not to argue the morals or utility of those policies but it is fact.

Similarly it would behoove you to read on the “relicensing” issues of the last few years. Many companies start small with open source to drive adoption, then discover that business model also explicitly enables others to use the same work and compete in the same space. Much heartache ensues.
there are so many major problems with 'fund people not projects'. Science is already a little bit broken. Scientists aren't supposed to dragnet data until they get the results they want, but it still does happen. however, if we were funding people and not projects, this would happen almost every time.

I also think politics in science would become even more of a problem. all of our money towards science would go toward funding research that backs their worldview.

I also think we'd see even more social media like driven science. "I am going to research this because I can write on social media/youtube on this and get lots of click/likes-> money"
I’ve seen citizen burning cities when there were Americans involved, just think about the g7 and g8 and ttip protests, I really don’t believe polls, but we’ll see upcoming elections I guess
> The party, which is centrist, has no specific policies yet. It will say at its Thursday launch: "How will we solve the big issues facing America? Not Left. Not Right. Forward."

Universal basic income was a major part of Yang's campaign in 2020. Given enough time, I suppose it could become centrist. In the meantime, this raises the question of what positions this new party will support exactly.

> .. The leaders cited a Gallup poll last year showing a record two-thirds of Americans believe a third party is needed.

One of the reasons they do so badly is that American third parties have almost nothing to do with respect to local governance. They tend to be focused on trying to win national elections. It's hard to build a bench of electable national candidates when so few of them have run a city or state under the banner of the party they're running with.

Unless this third party is willing to make a serious investment in local governance, I doubt it will do much better than the others.

So lets say you release a 10 minute Youtube video. You now have 60 minutes of raw footage with multiple takes, you sitting in front of the rolling camera going over the script, ums and ahs, and maybe a take where the phone rang in the middle of a sentence. What are you going to use that footage for in the future, and is this hypothetical use case absolutely dependent on having raw 4K video? I understand that your answer is from a general video production standpoint, but my question was more in the line of "is this really necessary for this kind of content creation?".

And yes, I did see the part about editing, but are you really editing nine days worth of footage at once? Would it make more sense to put less but faster storage directly in the workstation?
> For graphic artists... perhaps also exciting, but not necessarily in a good way.

I think you're missing an important aspect of art - style.

The CG industry has been chasing photorealism for decades and we've been slowly inching closer. Photogrammetry is an important step that will provide a big boost in that goal.

But what happens when we get there? Once it's (relatively) cheap to make a AAA game that's virtually indistinguishable from reality, what happens next?

Everyone will love it for a few years but then they'll start to demand something new, and that might be non-photorealistic styles. Or it might be off world or impossible environments. Photogrammetry won't help much with a game set in space in the distant future, populated with non Earth creatures, plants, and architecture. Although it will help a bit, of course. There will still be a place for ultra realistic environments (war games, spy games, romance games etc.) but it will become just one style amongst many.

If anything this might lead to a revival in making real world models and then scanning them. Imagine a Dark Crystal style world except you are the player. All the characters and models were crafted by hand and then scanned into a 3d world where they are indistinguishable from their real world counterparts when viewed in VR/AR or on screen. That would be cool.

As for artists, perhaps they should be worried about AI stealing their jobs. But not photogrammetry, that'll just remove some of the tedious stuff like modeling furniture.
That sounds great. I was actually thinking "video game" but didn't bother looking it up because it's not really that important, is it after all?

But I can think of some other musicians who've worked on cartoons--David Bowie, Roger Waters, Primus, uh, Art Garfunkel. One thing they have in common is their notability didn't really come from that type of work. Straining a bit through the mists of time, I suppose Frank Churchill is genuinely notable for his cartoon work. Matt and Trey, of course, but they are writing show tunes for fun, it seems.

I mean, it's incidental music, right? Hollywood has lots of people who do that. No one cares about them either.

My understanding is that "contempt of court" is used to either punish someone's "bad" behavior or compel them to do something the court believes they are required to do.

In this case, wouldn't they just keep getting punished for contempt (racking up fines presumably) forever until they fulfil the court's request?
Would results of discovery be public record? If so, I could also see:

3) They don't want their "secret sauce" made publicly available.

That would both open them up to commercial competition, and make their product less reliable in court, as anti-Shotspotter experts would start figuring out how to effectively argue against the product's methodology.

In general I think technology like this should have to be fully transparent if it is used as the basis for public entities' decisions, but so far the arguments against that practice seem to have won out. For example, good luck getting source code or design documents to contest an automated red light or speeding ticket.
On the contrary. Using libraries with clearly defined interfaces makes it easier to combine those libraries into a single executable, reducing deployment and debugging complexity. It also dramatically improves performance given the lack of intermediate encoding/decoding protocol code and TCP/UDP hops. Experienced seasoned Architects knows this and work hard to remove unnecessary distributed complexity from systems they design. While “beginner experts” always pick the most complex “solution” for the job at hand. The worst spaghetti code I have ever seen in my 30+ year career is a 20+ years old Microservices architecture. So I can’t wait to read the future “We had a problem so we chose micro-services. Now we have N distributed problems + K impossible to debug obscure timing issues” articles.
What does it mean for a corporation to be held in contempt of court? I guess they will pay a fine and never have to produce those documents?
