You are free to not spin your legs out of where I walk, unless you do so at reasonable speed and give me right of way. Normally I don't see that happening.
FIRE spreadsheets and calculations are overrated in my opinion. The decision to walk away is much more complex than plain numbers. Even if you end up walking away based purely on numbers, it’s very likely you will be back in a few.

My bet is that there are many who actually can quit based on just numbers but who don’t or can’t. I was one of them. I’ve attempted to take an alternate look based on my own experience instead of the typical crap that’s out there.

The destroyed drive was discovered before the trial started and there was a motion for dismissal that was made, appealed, and ultimately denied because

A. The evidence was available through other means

B. It was not strong enough to exculpate the defendant

[1]

I agree that taking a strong inference against actions of prosecution when evidence is destroyed and unrecoverable. However, in this case, that's not what happened. Evidence was destroyed, but it was also preserved in other locations (it was uploaded on dropbox).

Our court system, while weak in many areas, isn't terrible in this sort of circumstance. It doesn't take hard lines because things are tricky.

This sort of problem with evidence is made to come out of the regular court proceedings. It's why discovery happens before we start a trial.

This thread is seriously bonkers.

When we were children, our elders were well aware of a link between alcohol and cancer (among other failures like cirrhosis) because their elderly friends would pass away from one or more of these. It was, albeit unscientifically, established that there does exist a strong enough correlation to warrant warning children about it. To this day, none of us needed a study for any of this. What happened?

To see HN stand up for Big Alcohol and twist this study with whataboutism and other nonsensical detractions is just plain morbid.
Based on the title alone, I expected the statue to be a lot more pagan, along the lines of the Venus of Willendorf or other fertility statues with... attributes that might offend Puritan western sensibilities besides its name.

The NYT article is trying very hard to paint the 'monument' in a positive light.

> “This is a masterpiece, or close to it,” he said, “and I’m the only one who cares whether the thing is actually done.”
> None of that is true.
> Except the masterpiece part.

As I read the details, I can't help but feel that the place is boring but the author is trying to spin it in different, abstract ways, that is, you really need to "get" it.

I'm also spotting details that put it in a negative light for me, as a waste of resources and a monument to hubris, and I don't know if it's my kneejerk reaction to being told what to think, or whether I'm saying that the emperor has no clothes.

The most glaring is the self contradictory,

> This is “democratic art, art for the ages,” is how Heizer describes it.

later followed by

> Because Heizer fears crowds diluting the experience, the current plan is only six tickets a day — about the number of seats on a SpaceX flight — and only on some days during certain times of year, suggesting long wait times.
"while this seems to be the case for you, I'd like you to ask yourself if that's the right question to be asking."

I don't actually care about the social dynamics of scientists, because since the start of COVID I've developed a strong cynicism about all academic reliability, and so really wish that No True Scientist type arguments would go away. They're boring and even if an academic consensus did exist (it doesn't) I wouldn't care anyway.

But look at my other top level post in this thread. It makes two points. One is a technical point about ECS ranges. The other is about the way the article tries to make it seem like there's been a century-long consensus of scientists. The first is more important, but the replies and arguments are all about the second. Nobody seems to care about ECS. They're all about what some random guy whose data was cited in an article thinks, and whether I'm trying to deliberately mislead people.

So, arguments about what scientists as a group do/did believe are unavoidable because so many people have developed extreme views like Net Zero on the back of reading in the Guardian that all scientists agree on <some prediction>. You can argue about the scientific details of the claims, and that's really important, but it's of limited use because most people aren't basing their views on science anyway. For people who say look, just give me the 10 second summary of what the experts think, the only thing that can shift their view is by showing that the experts actually aren't expert at all.

The global cooling thing is therefore important, not because people aren't allowed to be wrong or change their mind - they are and they can - but because when that happens on a large scale, we'd expect to see some sort of post mortem where they collectively study why so many bold predictions were made that they later recanted. No such reflective learning process has ever happened. This raises questions about how genuine their expertise really is. Instead, as I and others document elsewhere, what they actually did is try to rewrite the past to claim global cooling was never a thing at all. They even edited temperature graphs to erase the cooling entirely. Then when it's pointed out that this isn't true using archival evidence, the claim changes to be that journalists were - inexplicably, as a group - engaged in a vast conspiracy to s/warming/cooling/g in everything scientists said. This claim is implausible, it's also literally a conspiracy theory, except one with no motive and no proof that it's real.

So yeah it'd be great to talk about the science more but there's little appetite for it here. They want to talk about social dynamics.

W.R.T. virology, how many virologists objected to the famous Lancet Letter in which dozens of scientists said "We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin ... Scientists from multiple countries .... overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife"? Zero? One? A consensus of people and institutions like that is worthless.
> As long as the Feds were just cracking the heads of black protestors and snatching brown people up out of their beds, Trumpists were hard-core thin blue line.

The FBI are investigators, not traditional police; they aren't generally the ones people are talking about when they say "thin blue line". It wasn't the FBI cracking heads and "snatching brown people out of their beds." The phrase is a reaction to perceptions of widespread civic disorder and violent crime; it really has nothing to do with the FBI at all.

Apple Pay on all desktop browsers
What: Gamma Pay - Apple Pay on all desktop browsers.

Demo: https://gamma-pay.com/demo
(use a desktop browser + an iPhone for the actual Apple Pay step)

Why: Apple Pay and mobile wallets are the fastest, most secure ways to pay online — you don’t need to enter all your payment/contact details nor share your raw CC #. The reduced checkout friction results in significantly higher conversion rates [1]. I personally prefer using Apple Pay pay so much that I find myself avoiding sites that don’t support it.

Unfortunately Apple Pay is largely unavailable on desktop browsers where over 50% of actual transactions happen [2] because it's only supported in Mac OS Safari, which has a sub 10% global marketshare [3]. Gamma Pay was born to make Apple Pay available on all desktop browsers.

How: Gamma Pay is built as a drop-in integration that works with existing payment solutions like Stripe, etc. It seamlessly handles the payment portion of a transaction on the customer’s phone without disrupting desktop checkout flows.

Tech Details: A fair bit is happening behind the seems to create a seamless end-user experience.

To achieve a drop-in integration, Gamma Pay implements an API compatible version of the Apple Pay browser APIs. This way, payment solutions like stripe.js, simply work without code changes because they believe they are interacting with the regular Apple Pay APIs.

During a transaction, Gamma Pay uses QR codes and a rendezvous server to establish a persistent bidirectional connection to a mobile payment UI. All Apple Pay API calls are then routed to the real Apple Pay implementation on the customer's mobile device in real time. Interactions like negotiating the shipping costs etc are all handled through this mechanism. Once the transaction is complete, the connection is torn down.

If you are interested in learning more or integrating Gamma Pay into your commerce site, commerce platform or payment solution, get in touch at pasha [at] gamma-pay.com

Some governments do. For instance, check Brazil's constitution: http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/constituicao/constituic... which has for changed articles both the original text (in strike through), the updated text, and hyperlinks to the legislation which was the source of each change. (And it's not just the constitution, all federal legislation has pages presenting in that format.)
I worked on an OS like that once. The problem is with "all the other stuff" that you need to support that's outside the core mission of your OS. You wind up bogged down on each additional feature that you need to implement from scratch (or port from another OS with a compatible license). With FreeBSD, all this comes for free.

We chose to use FreeBSD, and have contributed our code back to the FreeBSD upstream to make the world a better place for everyone.
Lol. Thanks for the laugh.
Encrypting assets on the fly using a per-consumer symmetric key would be prohibitively expensive, so I'm sure the media is stored pre-encrypted using a shared symmetric key.

It only really matters that this key is unique per package, not per user, because once even a single user can compromise the trusted execution environment and extract either the key or the plain video stream, that piece of content is now pirated anyway. So, key reuse against the same content probably isn't really a major part of the threat model - this attacker could share the key with others, but they might as well share the decrypted content instead.

> I'm sure there are lots of interesting details on how it deals with recording noise and such.

There's more to Shazam than that but Fourier transforms gets rid of the noise. I ported a FFT to Java back in the days and it was, IIRC, not even 100 lines of code. Amazing algorithm. I used it to record engine noise under acceleration and then derive power/torque curve of my car (it took into account the number of cylinders): drive the car several times, both ways, on a street, record the noise. Apply the FFT. Input the rims size / gear ratio etc. And I'd end up with about the exact same plot as the official one from the car manufacturer.

Noise simply disappears with a FFT.

A more concerning issue is harmonics.

> using ramda for brevity

please don't do that. Unless the article also uses Ramda (it doesn't) its not really appropriate for you to do so. If you want to use Ramda in your own, personal code, go ahead. But if you're posting a public example for other people to look at, including Ramda only makes sense if you're on a Ramda forum.

The whole point of this article is clarity in programming, you've reduced that with you decision to include some obscure package.

Surprisingly low CPU usage for such high frame rate action! Nice work :)
Why did you want to do this in the first place?
Linux has supported ARM CPUs for decades too.

Linux has run on ARM since 2002. Apple OSX was first released for ARM in 2020. Apple iOS on ARM wasn't released until 2007.

Though I doubt that any of this is relevant for a CPU only benchmark. I'd bet the effect of compiler support overwhelms any other effects.
Yes. You are. Because ethics lapses by State actors who are empowered to such an asymmetric degree, demand it.

If exculpatory evidence is destroyed, adverse inference demands the court infer that that evidence be viewed in the worst light for the destroyer of the evidence, which in this case is the State. It really doesn't matter what was on that disk at this point. Now that the chain of evidence has been destroyed, we have to assume it truly was exculpatory.

Just as we'd assume a defendant destroying evidence would indicate it was so damning the jury should assume it was just the thing the State needed to prove their case.

Good of the goose, good of the gander. No self-referential inconsistency.
That's not ideal, but it's certainly much better than every other ad company out there.

Apple can at least enumerate the ways it profiles you in plan text, and most of it makes perfect sense. (Though I'd be happier if they excluded age and gender.)

The other companies profiling information requires a massive spreadsheet, or even a JSON dump that no human being can make sense of. And that's just for their internal data, not the data they sell (oops, "share with trusted partners").

> However, that GPU could probably handle only half dozen users

It may only be able to host a handful of users making requests within the same second, but there's a lot of downtime when users are not triggering inference requests – time reading code, navigating around, etc. Add to that the fact that most engineers are having meetings, writing docs, testing things, they do a lot that isn't writing code. Then you add the fact that users don't work 24/7.

Between all of this, I'd be surprised if a GPU wasn't able to handle ~hundreds to ~thousands of monthly active users.
A glut of very affordable, yet relevant, books from days of yore--many scanned, some still retained as physical treasures--marks the nascent field of computer science.

I read and re-read parts of "Principles of Program Design" (1975) and type little C programs from King's "Modern C" (1996).

The new wonders may come from familiarity with bare metal, algorithms, and the desire to build the "virtual machine" to solve each problem.

The loans are usually sold as a bundle, with an aggregate risk calculation.

If you first skim off the "best" loans, the ones held by debtors in a position to pay them off at a reduced rate you know have a higher risk/lower value bundle.

So what do you do with the new remaining bundle of loans? Offer those debtors the ability to pay them off at even greater reduced rates?

Eventually you iterate down to the highest risk lowest value bucket that almost nobody would see the value in purchasing.
