Show HN: We built a Full-Body and Face Tracking SDK for WebAR
Engeenee SDK enables real-time body and face tracking in a browser to build immersive WebAR experiences like virtual try-on or gesture-controlled UI. The WebAR SDK is highly flexible and can be used with any rendering engine or UI framework. Additionally, it’s extensible and includes a number of useful plugins providing out-of-the-box solutions for many use cases. Simple but powerful, Engeenee enables the creation of immersive WebAR experiences within minutes.

I'm trying to think how you could reliably, securely hash one volume while running a potentially untrusted system from another volume. I imagine this can be done, but I'd be guessing as to how. For now, I suspect Apple has thought this through and has determined that booting the system into a known-cryptographically-clean state is the best method at hand for reducing the risk of a compromise/failure in the process of signing the system volume.

FWIW, APFS snapshots do at least provide an instant rollback mechanism, whereby a failure to install and sign the updates to the new temporary snapshot do not destroy the previous system. So what you describe seems reasonable and potentially feasible.
Same. Don't love that kind of bait-and-switch UX.
Seems like a good way to avert a midlife crisis is to explicitly make helping others a non-trivial part of one's life. Focusing on effectiveness on helping others is probably an important component as well.

I recommend looking into Effective Altruism - "a philosophy and community focused on maximising the good you can do through your career, projects, and donations"

https://www.effectivealtruism.org/

In my case I've joined Giving What We Can ten years ago - giving at least 10% of my income to cost-effective charities. No matter how badly my day goes, I can always reflect on how nice it is that through my donations thousands of individuals have benefited greatly.
Truth be told for me it was entirely a cost thing. Was looking at name brand chargers that can do 60W power delivery & they cost more than the iron itself.

Increasingly I've been wondering whether these agile approaches might be a detriment to most open source projects.

There is a massive pool of talented and motivated programmers that could contribute to open source projects, much more massive than any company's engineering dept, yet most projects follow a power law where a few contributors write all the code.

I think eschewing processes and documentation in favour of pure programming centered development, where tests & code serve as documentation and design tools, means the barrier to entry is much higher, and onboarding new members is bottlenecked by their ability to talk with the few main contributors.

The most successful open source projects have a clear established process for contributing and a lot of documentation. But the majority don't have anything like that, and that's only exacerbated by git hosting platforms that put all their emphasis on code over process. I wonder whether setting up new tools around git allowing for all projects to follow the waterfall or a V-cycle might improve the contribution inequality.

Clever idea. I like the concept, and think it could be a great product.

But your site gives me a bad vibe:

1) I feel like the term, "Socratic method" is fairly well understood. Am I wrong? Because trying to rephrase it feels like you are dumbing down your marketing for an audience that... well, isn't me. Which is fine if I'm an outlier. I just thought it was a common term.

2) Either let people try it, or make them create an account. Having a page that looks like it is going to let you try it, lets you enter a subject, and then prompts you to login feels worse than just forcing a login right away. (Which is also a problem, but at least doesn't feel like you are trying to trick us.)
A large part of the current usage of the terminology comes from historical momentum. It used to be the case that transistor size was fairly well correlated with performance and capability. Moore's Law was well-known and a simple transistor size was a good, easy way to approximate performance potential for power consumption, speed, capability, complexity, etc... That single number started getting slapped on all of the marketing and documentation as a somewhat useful "overall performance rating" substitute. Companies got used to showing it off. Consumers came to expect it. The real, actual usefulness of the number diminished slowly enough that it's just continued so far. And marketing doesn't like removing stuff that they think makes their products look good.

It's also still useful as an identifier to distinguish between one node process and another, so it's not entirely pointless, even if the nomenclature is meaningless.

I have a "Delphi for Kids" book which included a free version of the lowest Delphi tier. And yes, sure, I guess you can do the same with the current community version, but it does show how broadly Delphi was aimed and received.

Right now, it doesn't matter anyway. They're in that enterprise tier along with commercial Smalltalks and APLs, even if they'd give away everything for free tomorrow it wouldn't change the world of computing.
TDD isn't concerned with how your program works. In fact, implementation details leaking into your tests can become quite problematic, including introducing the problems you speak of. TDD is concerned with describing what your program should accomplish. If you don't know what you want to accomplish, what are you writing code for?
I have some in-laws who were avid hikers in the USSR at a time when it was nearly impossible to get off the shelf gear. They showed me some of the stuff they'd made by hand, including a backpack with an aluminum frame and cloth salvaged from an old parachute, and an inflatable boat they used to go camping in inaccessible areas. Both of them were indistinguishable from what you would get from a factory.
That’s not at all related to the point that you’re responding to, from my perspective.
I think about this all the time.

I believe it arises from an interaction between individuals and the surrounding culture and institutions.

Let's assume, a priori, that everyone is trying to maximize their "success". This doesn't necessarily mean purely selfish greed, but more an observation that there's a natural incentive to take care of ourselves and our own and that we will naturally try to figure out how to get there.

The "get there" part means navigating the social environment and institutions that surround us. We aren't living alone on a desert island where our options for survival are purely physical. Most of our interactions and choices are around other people and social systems. So when we seek success, we are pathfinding through the rules, norms, and ethics of the culture we're embedded in.

What kind of path do you take? In a culture with low corruption and high institutional trust, the most efficient way to acquire resources and stability is by playing the game honestly and cooperating in good faith with others. If we all do the right thing, we all win. Overall efficiency goes up and that benefits all of us.

In institutions with low trust and high corruption, playing by the rules and attempting to cooperate leaves you open to exploitation because your peers aren't doing that. You'll get screwed.

Now the fun part is the feedback loop between individuals and institutions. A culture is just the collective choices of all of the individuals in it, so every move we make in the game is also an act of defining the rules of that game.

The greater trust we have in each other, the more efficient the system gets and the better it is for everyone. But by that exact same token, the easier the system becomes to exploit and the more attractive it becomes to bad actors. The optimally efficient society is also the perfect honeypot. So as we seek greater trust and efficiency, we also directly incentivize deceipt and corruption.

Going in the other way, as a society gets more corrupt, it becomes less and less efficient. It's hard to get anything done when every single action requires several rounds of negotiation at gunpoint because everyone is presumed to be an adversary. So as a society becomes less trusting, it loses the ability to compete against other more efficient, trustworthy societies.

What I think you see is that as a larger society's institutional trust falls, within that society new pockets of trusted cooperating subcultures arise. Since those are more efficient than the larger society, they tend to grow and outcompete. But people in those pockets don't trust outside of that subculture, so you end up with the inefficiencies of mistrust and adversarial interactions at the boundaries between these groups.

Eventually a group might win and continue to grow, but the bigger it gets, the harder it is to maintain cohesion and trust across all of it. So eventually its overall trust fades but then new pockets of trust appear inside it.

This sort of slow boiling foam of fading trust and growing bubbles of cohesion is, I think, fundamental to human sociology.

> Isn't Johnson declaring himself the leader of the nation autocratic behavior? But simply non monarchical?

That's not how it works in the UK. In a general election it's traditionally the leader of the winning party who becomes prime minister, the electorate know this and it generally works out fine. The government of the day can still have their policies and legislation challenged in the houses of parliament (simplistically speaking).

Admittedly, what is anachronistic and anti-democratic are the current shenanigans going on to elect Johnson's replacement where the electorate have no say.

Books have paragraphs, which are newlines and indentations, specifically to help people read in the face of what would otherwise be a wall of text.

Being able to read large chunks of text with minimal or no formatting is useful, but so is knowing how to format the text you produce so it's easier for people to consume. We should all strive to be capable of both.

> If you send me some error logs, I can take a look or forward to one of the team.

I really appreciate the offer. I don't have the logs handy unfortunately and haven't been interacting with the Timescale instance in a few months. If I move back to that side of things I most definitely will take you up on that.

For what it's worth, I don't think the error was in running or connecting to Realtime; rather, I think what happened is there were duplicate, missing, or truncated messages. Thinking on it some more, I think TimescaleDB is using multiple tables under the hood for the tables they expose. Unfortunately, it's out of my depth of Postgres knowledge right now, so I can't tell you more

Show HN: Quick CPU Comparison
I'm amazed that something like a passenger car on the street is even allowed to produce 126db regardless of how it does it. I mean I don't really care if it's coming from an ICE, a speaker system, or an air horn, people should have a really good reason to generate that much sound pollution and I can't think of any short of needing it to save a life.

P.S. In the EU at least the legally mandated AVAS is actually a carefully studied sound with a mix of specific frequencies aimed at being clearly distinguishable regardless of age (can be heard by old and young eardrums), has specific attenuation parameters (doesn't travel too far but also doesn't dissipate too close), can be relatively easily pinpointed as a source, works up to a relatively low speed before rolling noises become prevalent, and doesn't go above 75dB(A) (just enough to be audible in city landscapes). It's pretty much the Star Trek Enterprise engine futuristic sound which you'd be hard pressed to find disturbing in any way.
Does this mean you have two clock speeds on the same die?
> don't see these trucks as a goldmine.

Think a few more steps ahead. A few too many instances of "police write $500 ticket to Jose the scrapper who's three owners removed from the one who modified the truck and is just trying to feed his family" is a great way to get the law changed. They'd rather have the law on the books so they can use it in their toolbox of slimy plea-bargain BS than actually enforce it and risk losing it.

There's also institutional inertia at play. When it comes to revenue enforcement police are all about volume vs margin. They have a whole body of case law that makes it easy to just write speeding, rolling stop and DUI tickets and be nearly 100% assured those tickets will result in money for the state or department and the officers themselves are very well trained at writing those tickets properly. So without external political pressure they just keep doing what they're good at.

Equipment violation tickets in most states usually have some sort of "prove u fixed it before the court date" clause that makes writing a $500 equipment violation less lucrative on average than writing 3-5 $100 speeding tickets.

And all this is before you consider the relative availability of speeders to ticket vs coal rolling trucks (many of which can act normal just by changing the tune in software).

TL;DR the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
> I wonder if the "midlife" part of midlife crisis does some harm.

As someone who more or less started a midlife crisis last year, this rings true. Among other things, there's a social double bind that lies at the root of this that must be examined.

On one hand, young people are framed as unable to understand themselves and that they must suck it up and act like adults. On the other hand, when those that do "suck it up" later end up in crisis, they are demeaned with, "You should have figured yourself out by now."

I yearn for a world where midlife crises are a cause for community celebration. One where we can say, "Tayo42, this is an important time in your life and everyone is here to rally around you while you navigate these feelings."

Instead we seem to socially allow for, but discourage people from self reevaluations - that there's a window in midlife for people to rediscover themselves, realign their goals, and sort out their lives, but instead of celebrating, we discourage it. And for what? So that we maintain the illusion of some sort of identity integrity?

Maybe I have something to learn here, but it would be hard to convince me that the current state of the social response to crises is anything but maladaptive.
It depends on your perspective. As a youngling who just got their first iPhone and starts experimenting, they likely grok web3 fast and have several wallets setup, probably have a Twitter with a .eth handle and:

types in all lowercase and constantly talks about web3 and crypto

As a forty-something I just can't grok web3. It seems futile and unnecessary when you consider all that we have already. 'How much is enough?'

I imagine a lot of people my age are just coasting, making full use of already existing tech and don't seek 'the new shiny' since we've already done that in our youth and that game gets boring. We've done it. We've arrived. Tech still has its issues, but we don't complain.

I recently got one of these for $847 claiming I owed a payment for purchased Bitcoin. It was disconcerting for sure, because it appears to be a legitimate invoice that you owe a payment for (rather than an attempted fraud that PayPal is making possible). So your mind immediately goes to that your account got hacked in some form, and somebody used it to purchase Bitcoin.

To make matters worse, the invoice sits there in your PayPal account, and you're just a mistaken click or so away from authorizing the charge. Under my "activity" section, it sits right at the very top, forever, under the "Pending" headline (since early July). For whatever reason I can't get rid of it (PayPal killed the actual invoice after a week, they must have noticed the fraudulent activity from that account; but the invoice card summary remains in my activity under pending, perpetually).

Here is what the core of the emailed text looks like:

"You Purchased BITCOIN (0. 054631) for $ 847. 12. Reference Number-N34421979 If you have any concern regarding your order kindly contact us because we are getting lot of complaints regarding fraudulent orders. HELP-DESK (806)440-0799."

It arrives from service@paypal.com with the email subject saying the invoice is from PayPal (rather than being from xyz merchant or similar; which only adds to the concern that a fraud has already occurred within my PayPal account). The text in the email otherwise looks legitimate as I assume it did arrive from PayPal's service. It would be easy for a normal user to fall for the scam.

In their haphazard greed, PayPal slipped up and made their invoicing system too loose, too unconstrained in how it functions.
