Transformations like these have wide applicability. Performing optics in software so to speak, is more flexible and cheaper than grinding lenses and building special cameras.

I was charged once, with transforming images for projection onto a sphere through special lenses. I didn't know the lens transform, the manufacturer kept that secret. I did know that the intensity across the spherical surface was of uniform brightness - the manufacturer boasted about this. With that bound I could guess the transform, as each pixel of the source image would have to illuminate an equal surface area of sphere once projected.

The manufacturer advertised a service to do this transform on your image, but they wanted $10K for each run! Once I presented my insights and a little math, they capitulated and did it at cost. I never got to write my projection software in the end.

I consistently see NHS results at or near the top for most symptom searches.

I don't know if that's geography specific.

I just tried it for "swollen ankles" and the NHS came top, followed by webmd.

I've typed Dvorak for years on staggered rows, and retained my ability to switch back to Qwerty at ~70% of the speed. I just switched to staggered column 58-key Dvorak though, and I have noticed it takes me a minute to go back to staggered row on my laptop keyboard in either layout. I think it has more to do with the key positions than the layout.
I feel like every layer of the stack (poor UX design, discord, chrome, electron, windows/android, drivers, my actual microphone) is not to be trusted now more than ever. I'm not even talking about conspiracies or the NSA, I'm only talking about glitchy buggy behaviors that cause things like "I didn't know I was unmuted". Things are so unreliable and untrustworthy these days I can only falt OP for not being overly paranoid and double checking constantly.
Why not fight fire with fire?

Consider checking for the Chrome user agent on your personal website. When you detect it, either:

1. Display a screen that encourages to use a browser that respects their privacy, such as Firefox.

2. Show a popup explaining that "for an ad-free experience, try Firefox + uBlock" and add a bunch of fake (or real) ads to a special Chrome-exclusive piece of the site.

If enough of us do this with personal websites, more and more people will stop using Chrome and start using Firefox. You don't even have to cut Chrome users off from the content -- just annoy them a little, and suggest Firefox.

After all, if Google refuses to fix bugs introduced by Google developers who don't test software in browsers other than Chrome (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1069227), the least that the rest of us can do is fight back in some small way.
This write-up seems awfully bent on making vaccines responsible. What about infection numbers, different variants and whatnot?

If anything, “peak vaccination” totally destroyed excess deaths almost immediately, while the wave was already rolling way before.
I don't have to imagine - Healthline.

it's clearly an SEO game that's cropped up recently, but it's executed in a sustainable way. The articles I stumble on are actually helpful.

For example, there was a recent HN article on research supporting the practice of grounding. So I googled it, and found a Healthline article: https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding#benefits

It clearly explained what it was, why it may have benefits, what a few experts say, risks, etc.

There are ads but barely (for now) - on a recent article on mobile, it's one small banner, and then one in-line ad that doesn't even look like one. It's not a barely-readable dumpster fire like WedMD.

Of course, all roads lead to Rome, so at some point Healthline may look like a dumpster fire as well, so enjoy it while we can!
One man's 'cruft' and 'substandard syntactic elegance' is another man's 'decades of backwards-compatibility preserved'.

People are of course free to use the newest languages with the shiniest syntax (and many do), it's just that they pay the price by using untested, unproven languages when they could have been using ones which have been battle-tested in production for literally decades.
Isn't it pretty much redundant? You just have to enable advanced mode in ublock origin extension settings. The interface is arguably slightly harder to figure out though, but the functionality is there once you've enabled it.

the ublock origin repo actually has a video linked how it works: https://youtu.be/2lisQQmWQkY?t=294
Everything traces back to colonialism - the incompetent people in charge today largely inherited their power from the colonial masters, mostly by being close to the colonists and being steeped in their traditions.

Power structures don’t disappear the moment a dominant power leaves a country. Power just shifts to their closest proxy at first.

It can take decades for the locals to vote/throw out these people and elect a government and build institutions that are more aligned with their local way of living.
Details Emerge on Nvidia’s “Grace” Arm CPU
Yes but if you hire a lot of smart people and then have a process where they cannot make any decisions but instead someone from sales decides every little thing you will still not get anywhere regardless of how many smart people you have.

But I agree if you have a lot of smart people you can go for a lean process, and let everyone mostly guide themselves. But you do have to provide that freedom.
I worked on the Stable Diffusion and GPT-J integrations on NLP Cloud (https://nlpcloud.com/). Both can be used in FP16 without any noticeable quality drop (in my opinion).
Stable diffusion requires 7GB of VRAM on a Tesla T4 GPU.
GPT-J requires 12GB of VRAM (but if you really try to use the 2048 tokens context, the VRAM will go up and reach something like 20GB of VRAM).
Yeah, cvtsi2sd has 3-9 cycles or latency on Zen3, but throughput ain’t too bad. The table on uops.info says on Zen3, cvtsi2sd has 1 cycle throughput, meaning a core can complete these instructions every cycle. There’s no other dependencies so the pipeline will deal with the latency just fine, by dispatching instructions for multiple loop iterations.

It can’t deal with the latency of ARM64 equivalent of addss/addsd due to the dependency chain. I think that’s the bottleneck of the OP’s microbenchmark.
Oh, that is even worse! Only big corporations can afford to do this, as this borders on banking services and you need good legal grounding for this type of business.

I should probably clarify that by "impossible" I really meant "does not make business/economic sense". You can do microtransactions with individuals, but if you're spending €2 (rough estimate) per transaction for invoicing, accounting, VAT processing, etc, it no longer makes any sense. Thus "impossible".

It’s not a risk of contamination, it is that the treatment plant pumps can’t keep the water pressure up right now. Otherwise, river water is hopefully cleaner than what you’re trying to flush. Though in Jackson, MS, I wouldn’t take that as a given.
I am too but I don’t think you’ll get it, even on HN. Good luck though
We have had people spend more time in space stations than it would take to go on a trip to mars. The biggest problem is that space radiation and hazardous dust are far more dangerous than psychology.

A donut is a way to embed a two-dimensional torus in our three-dimensional space. What we have here is different. It's a visualisation of a three-dimensional torus. On a two-dimensional donut, there are two directions which loop around. In the space shown here, the only difference is that there are three directions.

A three-dimensional sphere also loops around, but it's not quite the same. One way to get the three-dimensional sphere would be to glue each points at the cube boundary to every other point on the boundary. One way to show that this three-dimensional sphere is not the same as the three-dimensional torus is that in the three-dimensional sphere, you could gather up any tied rope by passing it around the cube boundary.
I think most are vastly underestimating the impact of Synthetic AI media - this is at least as big as the invention of film/photography (century-level shift) and maybe as big as the invention of writing (millenia-level shift). Once you really think through the consequences of the collapse of idea and execution, you likely to tend think the latter...

What we're seeing now are toy-era seeds for what's possible - e.g. I've been making a completely Midjourney-generated "interactive" film called SALT:
https://twitter.com/SALT_VERSE/status/1536799731774537733

That would have been completely impossible just a few months ago. Incredibly exciting to think what we'll be able to do just one year from now..
I think you're probably right. Every now and then I've had something fall in my lap from someone I knew. I've done a few focus groups (though those are during the day.) And so forth.

But, perhaps not unsurprisingly, there really isn't a general source for short side gigs paying a few hundred dollars an hour--especially for asynchronous tasks you can do nights or weekends.
Beekeeper here... I can completely believe that bee venom could be used medicinally. While I know many beekeepers hardly notice stings after a while, I find that mine go through an extensive healing process. I'll spare the gross details, but the week-long process culminates in the sloughing of several layers of necrotic skin. Brilliant idea to figure out this same action could be used against cancerous cells.
> Having worked with a lot of artists, they are seeing stable diffusion and other image generators as a way to generate lots of ideas.

But it also dillutes their own ideas. I know of painters painting AI generated stuff and that is likely a new genre but a lot of genuine artwork will lose interest on the market. It is what it is and don’t I love or hate it…
Why do you think work is going to dry up soon?
That is not exactly so, because the prompts are not reproducible input cases; you don't get the same image every time for a given prompt. An association between a prompt and, say, around ten images would be something resembling a cache.
To be fair, it’s hardly code golf. It’s just that Lwt takes a monadic approach to concurrency and that’s always going to look a bit strange to someone unfamiliar with using monads and who doesn’t know that (>|=) is fmap.

I never understood why Lwt chose this aweful operator by the way. That’s a really unfortunate choice. My guess is that they really want people to use their ppx extension. I really hope that eio will solve the current concurrency libraries mess.

It’s the same for the first exemple: if you don’t know (:>) is upcasting, you are going to wonder what you are reading. I have to confess I had to look for it. Despite using Ocaml professionally for a bit a decade ago, I never had to upcast anything.

It’s hardly beautiful code but it’s fairly readable.
Being unknown to you doesn't disqualify something from being recognized as a first. Plenty of unknown inventors and scientists have been recognized as pioneers much later when their work was unearthed and made known.
"perform" is a method of the Object (i.e. Integer super) class, the argument is a symbol; this call just does a second method dispatch, i.e. "perform" does yet another dispatch on the Integer object and then calls the "factorial" method; so no, neither this is message passing; it's rather like Object.getClass().getMethod() and Method.invoke() in Java.
It must be interesting being a graphic artist in 2020-2022. First NFT's that enabled some to make millions of dollars. Less than 2 years later, Stable Diffusion, which will probably shrink the market significantly for human graphical artists.
You opened by saying that "folks" are using Tailwind CSS instead of your preferred arbitrary class names that would mean nothing to browsers. Tailwind is a styling tool. There is nothing stopping you from using additional random class names you believe might make a difference to search engines - there is also nothing encouraging you to do that either other than a footnote in the HTML spec.

I don't know why you don't remember you opened with that, but, after seeing attacks like "single minded", "bubbles", "professional ideological grounds", merely for telling you that in the real world people are not using CSS class names in the way you want them to be and are instead using microdata, I won't be engaging in this pointless debate further.

The braces here absolutely denote a new scope. You can't bind vals inside parentheses, for example. You can inside braces.

I would rather not as using braces for the final argument has been the Scala idiom for a long time now.
“Illegal combatants” was a term made up by the Bush administration so they could pretend they didn’t need to treat their POWs according to the Geneva convention. So we have a group of people who don’t get the protection of either the Geneva convention or the civilian courts. It’s a war crime is what it is.
I feel ad proxying and server side rendering would be a better fit for the brand identity you are trying to create. Why does one need javascript to serve some text or image, along side some content? One of the common reasons for blocking ads is they slowdown websites by using more resources and thus also reduce battery life. It also introduces another barrier to trust you more - how do I know that the Javascript code is not doing something unwanted (like browser fingerprinting, introducing some annoying animation etc.) - after all, it would be a pain to keep reviewing your javascript code and would be easier to just block it.
As an experiment, I will try that next time I’m buying an OTC remedy. It sounds like we share an opinion: Given that drugstores unironically place homeopathic nostrums and essential oils right next to actual medicines, I treat them as hostile environments out to scam unwary consumers rather than honest sources of information. But, as I said, I will give that a fair test.
It might be harmful if it was universal, but it's really just another facet of the normal, perpetual tension between generalization and specialization.

Large organizations working on grand projects benefit from slicing up roles so that experienced specialists can anticipate and prepare solutions for the uncommon challenges that arise in those projects (and so that the bureaucracy of large orgs can be managed at all).

Meanwhile, smaller organizations, or groups working on more modestly scoped projects, benefit from generalists who can hold much of the project in their head and develop highly cohesive solutions that can be delivered efficiently.

A skyscraper requires seasoned architects or its going to crumble under its own weight, but even an extensive residential home renovation can be planned by a general contractor and done way cheaper than if many specialists were brought in.

It sounds like there are some organizations/projects you wouldn't want to be involved with, but that doesn't mean that those organizations/projects are doing something harmful or regressive. They just don't suit the way you want to approach work.
Most distributions have an AArch64 build. Secondly, macOS Ventura will have Rosetta 2 for Linux as well.
The point is that they are doing well with the limited thermal stress their CPUs put off, very intentionally.
This is the easy answer, but I don't think this is the right answer.

The right answer, I'd argue, is that this was Prometheus giving fire to the mortals, and then the mortals quickly discovered everything that could be possible with fire.

Europe?

There really isn't too many reasons why electricity should have "shock pricing" like this.

Here (Ontario) electricy prices are fairly flat over long time periods. https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/elect...

probably because once the plants are built, the cost to maintain them is fairly fixed?

Off peak power is 8.2 kwh Feb 8, 2022 and was 8.7 back on Nov 1, 2016

in order for this to change, it requires government approvals so it wont be "changing at short notice".
That’s a funny way to say cigarettes are vanishing, and weed is more legal. Stay classy, journalists.
A good observation! That does feel pretty short. One thing to note, PCIe's regular cadence is three years (3.0 lasted way way longer.):

> The group responsible for developing and updating the PCI Express standard, the PCI-SIG, aims to update that standard roughly every three year. [1]

PCIe 6.0 is already released & uses the same transmission rate, but is PAM4 to send two bits per tick. Which I expect AM5 will be able to handle. Samsung is already making DDR6 ram. By 2026, there almost certainly will be pressure to advance the platform.

This platform feels amazing & fresh right now, & hearing it'll only have 3 years life does feel short. AM4 lasted >5 years. It'd be neat if AMD would back-release new processors on older sockets in the future, but I can also imagine the bios support for these scenarios being tangled & gross.

I think that this might have been a larger portion of it. A large amount of the audience for this type of content has either deleted Facebook, or is too young for Facebook. I completely stopped watching T90 (a very entertaining/iconic Age of Empires 2 caster) because he moved to Facebook, and several of my friends did too.
Umm Threadripper CPUs have historically been on their own sockets/mobo platforms. They aren’t drop-in replacements for the mainstream CPUs. The grandparent comment was wondering if we’d get Threadrippers in this generation, which has nothing to do with “this product segment,” whatever that means

I did this last year. I work full time for ~100/hr, and someone I've worked with before, recommended me to an early stage startup in the US. They paid me ~130/hr just to be part of the meetings with their EU based dev team. Monthly I was making 2-3k extra but the context switching, startup rollercoaster, dev team not performing turned out to be stressful. In the end they secured funding and assembled an in house dev team, so they didn't need me anymore. I suggest you try it, but not for the extra money because the extra stress is not sustainable long term, do it for the learning experience and maybe that will help you in the future.
I generally agree with your comment, but I think your love of guns slightly detracts from the point you are trying to make.

Sure, in the US, the 2nd Amendment does relate to a right/liberty, but other countries have managed to enjoy greater liberty (in particular, fewer murders per capita) while heavily restricting the use of firearms. That doesn't necessarily mean that the US would be better if the 2nd Amendment were repealed, I'm just saying that "boo firearms" is a perfectly valid (and liberty defending) opinion for some people in the country to hold, unlike "hooray (warrantless) government spying" or "hooray hackable voting machines".

Just consider what it is you are "all for". You want an environment where parents need to surround their children with armed guards in order to protect them from armed militias trying to intimidate them into not exercising their right of assembly. Does that really sound like a country where people are free?
For a sphere, the location of where you land when you go off the screen is a continuous function of where you started from. If two Pac-Men exit the screen next to each other, they will re-enter the screen next to each other.

The real Pac-Man game is a donut because it's discontinuous at the corners. If two Pac-Men are right next to each other near the top-left corner, and one exits via the top and the other exits via the left, they will end up on opposite sides of the map.

There's a mathematical formalization of this, where the thing you look at is closed paths of Pac-Man leaving a point, traveling around, and returning back to that same point. You group such circuits by whether they can be continuously deformed into each other. The discontinuity at the corners makes two distinct families of circuits, which correspond to traveling on a donut around the circumference vs going through the hole.
Personally, I don't want to be fined by the city. It's a poor reason but a sufficient one.

I maintain a lot of habitat in the back, but the front has to stay high and tight. My neighbors prefer it as well, you can change a culture but should think carefully before defying it.
Yes - this will make artists hyper productive IMO; and will make a lot more people willing to make art! If you've ever had a little ditty and wondered what it would sound like as a violin concerto in D minor, now you can know! If you ever wanted your wife painted as a Rembrandt, there you have it. If your five year old comes up with an idea for a fun video game called Laser Chicken, now his friends can play it.

Imagine pairing this with bespoke automated clothing output - take a photo of an outfit, verbally describe the changes you want to it ("a little more debonair, dark lapels, 1920's styling"), click a button, preview it as it would look on you in several recent pictures you took, and a week later your tailored suit arrives. Now for sneakers. Hats. Bags. Watches.

The 20th century was about mass production to ensure everyone could have things: food, clothing, transport, entertainment. The 21st century may turn to expression: allowing each person to express themselves however they want in their goods and services. Or just following along to buy whatever your favorite tastemakers recommend. However involved you want to be!

The world is about to get a lot weirder and more interesting.
