I use Hugin[1] to manually align images and combine them into virtual focus.[2] I started doing this after learning of the Stanford Multi-Camera array[3], and wanting to replicate the ability to see through things[4].

I didn't have the budget, so I used one camera and a cluster of photos from slightly varying locations. I got there eventually.[5]

I am a week late. Real Life Happened. :-)

I probably phrased this really badly and applied it too broadly. Take the early days of Machine Learning. Everyone was working to crack it open and make money off of it. They still are, but now we’re almost to the maturity portion of it’s lifecycle.

But in the early days, if you were smart enough and showed promise, you could get hired before you even finished your doctorate. Everyone trying to crack open the ML egg was doing this, so not doing it gave execs FOMO about letting someone else employ a very smart ML scientist that developed something that made a lot of money.

So it’s less that it’s risky but for very specific and developing areas of CS it’s considered a worthwhile expense rolling the dice to own the patents on the next big breakthrough outright for the cost of a single salary.

That sounds like 2010 thinking, when everybody thought that the iPad was going to take over the world and we would have computing appliances.

Actually what happened is that esports became a huge deal, console gaming peaked and desktops are still here undefeated.

Sure, gone are the days when everybody had a desktop, but what red blooded man/woman doesn’t desire a juiced out gaming PC with a 3090 and a truckload of RAM?
I can second what you wrote about jemalloc. Some internal services at Amazon are using it with solid outcomes. I also recommend trying out 5.3.0 version released earlier this year.
There will be lots of stuff, but what are the odds that exactly the thing you need will be available and in working condition? If you can make something entirely from scratch, you can make any subset of it from scratch. More generally, developing the means to do something yourself gives you a much deeper understanding than simply utilizing someone else's solution.
The youtube description for each video has a lot more details, especially on how long the different steps take.

And no doubt Intel has them by the short hairs; they can't afford to go all-in on AMD, and can't afford to break ranks. You have to be Dell, ASUS, or Lenovo to dare cross Intel. Intel has myriad ways to make life uncomfortable, and uses them ruthlessly.

Even the Big Kids sabotage their own "build-a-laptop" pages to carefully steer you away from AMD machines they do build. Particularly Lenovo.
Isn't this project mostly about interfaces for businesses to connect their guts? The language used to implement services behind common interfaces shouldn't matter all that much. It's just the reference implementation in js, no?

ACH is reversible and non-final.
That's what research is starting to suggest for at least some opiate addicts.

Opiates have a very strong anti-depressant effect, that also tends to make the depression worse after coming down. Well, really it's the activation of "opioid" receptors (becoming a bit of misnomer) that have a very strong anti-depressant effect, which is the same mechanism that the anti-depressant effects of ketamine derive from despite not being an opioid (anti-depressant effect is almost entirely negated if taken with naloxone, aka NARCAN, to inhibit the opioid receptors).

This worsening of depression symptoms after coming down from opiates causes a vicious, psychological feedback loop in addition to the physical dependency. This also may be why ketamine has higher risk of addiction than other psychedelics like psilocybin.
If you're a manager, and you're not director or c-suite (i.e., you don't control the budget), this isn't your problem.

Go to your manager and present the situation, and see what they have available to you. Do they have budget for contractors, new hires, etc? Because, if they don't, you don't have any real options besides dumping the work on one or more people, or allowing deadlines to be pushed back.

They either have/make headcount or they don't.

If your business is already short staffed, the employees are already being exploited.

Let me repeat: Perpetual short staffing is exploitation. "Running lean" isn't a real thing, it's just a fancy way to say that the company is making compromises that an established business wouldn't make. You either need staff or you don't.

The business will miss deadlines and that's fine. Unless you own the company, it's not your problem.

All the things you listed are industry-wide standards or frameworks where people are essentially forced to use them. I mean sure, not at gunpoint, but they’re inescapable in practice, especially at typical workplaces.

All of those things are also fairly opinionated and all-encompassing, trying to be all things for all people… and failing to be a good fit for many of them.

Hence the grumbling.

You’ll see similar conversations about government too for the same reasons: forced on people, wide scope, poor fit for many.

Inevitably someone will say: “But you have a choice! You don’t have to use whatever the subject is!”

Sure… I can live on an island away from everything.

I’m a Windows systems integrator and I’m learning Kubernetes now even though it’s a poor fit for Windows.

Why? Because it’s the “new hotness” and several vendors support it and clients demand it.

So I’m forced to deal with something I don’t really want to. Not to say that k8s is necessarily bad, just that it’s not nice to deal with in my scenario…

The source of inflation in Europe is the godfather in Moscow shutting the valves on natural gas pipelines. Barring war with a nuclear arms power, the remedies are diversifying natural gas supply and lowering its consumption. I see far too little too late action on this front.

I've been waiting for half a year now for a simple and effective EU wide coordinated effort. It's just not happening. Our political class seems to show very little sense of urgency.

One example out of many. Heat pumps are still in stock in most of the EU, with installers available to install them. We're speaking of systems that easily cut domestic energy consumption in three. Still available, after over six months of emergency!
edit people are mistaking this comment for anti-Unionism.. isn't it obvious that this is anti-"corrupt union management" and nothing about the virtues of working life, protecting workers from exploitation, and a social path to prosperity for a greater number of people?

Very cool idea! I have developed no-code tools for artists, and worked for one of the best known game engines. Now, I don't think most of what you need actually requires AI. You are basically asking for a character customization tool, and maybe the backgrounds are the ones that could be auto generated. AI could also be used to beautify the rendering.
Using a valuable rate-limited post to say: you can. USB4 mandates direct host-to-host connectivity. If you bought an Intel laptop with 11th-gen/Rocket Lake (March 2011) or better, the cpu has built-in 40Gbps USB4/thunderbolt that can do host-to-host, although not every laptop implements the actual PCIe side of that. This has been support in Thunderbolt since Linux 4.15[1] in 2017.

Alas more generally, things aren't super hot for USB4 devices & things like ethernet integration. USB4<->ethernet options are still very very limited. Paying multi-hundred dollars for 10Gbe is... unfortunate. We have a long way to go before USB4 IP starts coming to actual devices; the hubs shield us from the obviousness of the need by being, in effect, a far-away mini-southbridge with wild behavior-switching on each port. So it's easy to keep doing what we're doing. But eventually I hope we stop using bridge chips and have some re-usable PCIe tunneling or other just better actual USB4<->flash or USB4<->ethernet chips that really try to be modern. It'll be a while.

As another poster says, cable length is short. 2m with active cables. USB3 had a lot of great cables with active repeaters built in (for a while there my desktop was 10m away from my desk), and I admit, I'm surprised I haven't seen this happen yet for USB4, but it should. One of my desires from USB is to make a longer range USB spec. Please give me 20Gbps over 10m? But for people just wanting to plug their laptop or desktop into their NAS, or wanting to direct-attach a mini-cluster together... heck yeah, USB4 is there for you, today.

That's crazy, like something out of a movie. Growing up in the pandemic was the most surreal thing. Knowing any second there could be an outbreak, or a new transmission vector could be discovered that we weren't covering. Having to stay inside the house and even in there wear masks sometimes, for a year was something out of a world war movie. It was like we were all stuck back home fighting for our soldiers out in the front line.
No the OP, but we had similar issue — our service was leaking when allocating native memory using JNI. We onboarded Jemalloc as it has better debugging capabilities, but the leak dissapeared and performance improved. We never got around to root causing original leak.
I don't know if this will help you but:

Cannabis tends to amplify whatever you are thinking about. If you are mentally focused on the pain that will almost certainly be counter productive.

For paranoia, a trick that works for me is to mentally/consciously call out the paranoia and acknowledge that it is exaggerated/not real and instead caused by the cannabis. As soon as I do that it disappears.

I love this channel and have been watching it for years, but one note of caution: this isn't the same type of primitive technology our ancestors used tens to hundreds of thousands of years ago. I would best describe it as "technology from scratch using all available modern knowledge".

In a way it's even more interesting than trying to do primitive technology as it actually was. In this example, he's using modern knowledge of ore smelting and doing it in a way with the fewest tools/processes possible. Our ancestors (250,000 to ~3000 years go) could have done this, but they didn't. Metallurgy did not appear until a few thousand years ago and iron working working even later than bronze and other types of metal working. In fact, he's not even trying that hard, as he doesn't use the stream to build a waterwheel and automate many of his processes (though he did build a water hammer once).

Really makes you think what's perfectly possible physically today, but we lack the knowledge to actually do it.
I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here. I'm well aware of this. I'm saying that we need to do something about it or stop complaining. If you complain and take no further steps you are advocating for the issues, not condemning them.
I've got a fairly common Gmail address as my primary.

I get all kinds of account sign-ups, and also home purchase paperwork and sheriff's office employment offers, from multiple states.

I used to feel bad, and spent a couple years trying to get in contact and correct whoever used my email.

Now? Fuck em. If you use my email, it's my account. I just deleted "my" Roku account and unsubscribed to the services attached to it (required to delete an account).

Me deleting "your" account is the least-abusive thing I could do if you sign up with my email address.
>Side note the most common problem for the PS support queue was PlayStations not reading disks properly.

I laughed when I read the following quote from Andy Gavin's blog, now I'm crying after seeing yours.

"Kelly asked how many of these CD hits Andy thought a gamer that finished Crash would have. Andy did some thinking and off the top of his head said “Roughly 120,000.” Kelly became very silent for a moment and then quietly mumbled “the PlayStation CD drive is ‘rated’ for 70,000.”

>The fix was to turn the machine on its side or even upside down to get the CD closer to the laser.

Was this the precedent for marketing the PS2 vertically?
> On the plus side, on Linux /proc/<pid>/environ is a snapshot created at the time of execve() and kept by the kernel, nothing other than execve() can change it (don't quote me on this, I'm only 90% sure.)

prctl(PR_SET_MM_ENV_{START,END}) will change the contents of /proc/<pid>/environ.

From what it looks like in Linux's source code, twiddling the bits at the base of the stack will also cause the procfs file to change--it seems to read directly from the process's memory. Ditto for /cmdline and /auxv, it seems.
https://bol.com in the Netherlands has delivery within a few hours (by bicycle) for some cities and select products. I got in this way an inflatable mattress (old one was punctured, so I needed one by the evening for my guests) and a few other electronic devices or household items.
Job levels and titles are fun. At my current company internally I'm a System Architect 7 (what my compensation is supposed to be but really isn't based upon), Vice President and Chief Engineer (the role I'm currently filling). Externally I have several titles depending upon the customer or business partner I'm dealing with. Some customers I only talk to a couple of times a year and have to refresh myself as to what to introduce myself as since my title on their project is contractually defined.

The person I report to in my role of Chief Engineer has a VP job title but internally is a Senior Director and as such reports to me for some internal company stuff. To make it even more entertaining I have never been a system architect or really an engineer even of the software kind (I've never written a line of code professionally). Until my current Chief Engineer title, the only other title with engineer I ever had was Internet Engineer III when I worked in the network backbone planning and design group of a large international ISP about 24 years ago.

Except if our society was to collapse there would be brand new massive veins of resources extremely close to the surface and with incredibly high purity in the form of the old cities and infrastructure that we already built. Eventually they would have to make some jump from recovering previously collected resources to exploiting new sources, but by that point they would already have reached levels comparable to us.
There was at least one model of Dell switch that used HDMI for 10G connectivity a few years back, so it seems doable. I think most people looking for cheap and fast home networking end up going TCP over infiniband, which is a project I've been meaning to look at sooner rather than later myself. You won't touch 120G though, but I don't think you'll find disks that fast anyway.

> The Base-T Ethernet standards get very creative about their modulation levels.

Yeah, just look at 100BASE-TX. It also uses 3 signal levels, but in a repeating cycle and the incoming bits decide how long to linger on each voltage.

Fun fact: Both 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T have a symbol rate of 125MHz.
Odds are that 9 cents is the production cost in massive quantity. A single unit might be days of work and a few dollars of parts. (Inflation)
What's your USP compared to others in this crowded iPaaS+EDI space (ex. Celigo, Boomi, SPS, etc.)? Maintaining reliable integrations requires a lot of money, especially at scale and even more so when traversing borders. And EDI 850 is pretty well-entrenched. I guess I'm mostly asking who is this for, like specifically what size and type of customer?
The Army Research Lab in Aberdeen,MD,also experimented and patented some applications for using Aluminium for H2 production. On closer review it is not feasible for large scale. Besides: producing Aluminium is extremely energy and CO2 intensive
Gas power plants on the grid are pretty inefficient. Like a modern furnace they are pretty efficent at getting the heat energy out of the gas. However the efficiency of turning the heat into electricity is low. They get something like an average of 40% overall efficiency. The best gas turbine plants on the market can get about 60% efficiency max.

If the power plants were able to provide the excess heat to nearby businesses and the like, they could be a lot more efficient overall, and there are some that have tried to do that, but transporting heat itself is not an easy thing to do efficiently, and many plants are things like peaker plants, which don't run consistently, making it even harder to sensibly use the "waste" heat in the nearby communities.

Then there is the grid losses. Grid transmission loses 5 to 6% of the power in the US, making the grid 94-95% efficent.

Yeah, that was something I particularly liked - it took a loooooooong time to get the squad control right, but I think it worked nicely. One interesting artefact is the sweeping camera movements (when switching units) and the follow camera algorithm was something I originally invented (probably reinvented) for Lunatik and I built it into Battalion Wars - so it bookended my time in games!

> Off the beaten path here, but just for my own curiosity: did Nintendo seek you guys out when they wanted a third party to try their hand at the license, or did you go to them with the pitch for "3D Advance Wars in real time"?

I thought I remembered this, and I thought they came to us, but the more I think about it the less sure I am of that fact! I'm now semi-thinking that we pitched the idea (not as Advance Wars) and they said "Let's make it Advance Wars 3D". But, yeah, passage of time, makes me question that. Sorry!

Seems like if there were enough metal in the soil to be this easy to retrieve, a larger mining interest would already be there. Then again, I know nothing of Queensland to know if it is protected against that kind of thing or not.
Genuine, this-never-occurred-to-me question: are there lots of people out there with boilers that DON'T do this, or areas where it is not normal?

If so - this might explain something that's been mildly irritating me. When looking for alternatives to fuel-burning boilers it seems easy to find positive stories about space heating - and much less info on water heating, to the point where it's starting to look like maybe some of these options might not be great. Water heating is my largest home energy usage and space heating very little because it is grossly overrated; if you are not really unwell an indoor temperature around 10 c is quite pleasant, so I tore my (rubbish) radiators out in 2017 and never looked back. This is making it surprisingly hard to figure out what replaces the boiler. If the marketing is aimed at pure heating boiler replacers, this difficulty is at least easier understood if not easier solved.
