You can find lots of examples of this work-your-way-up approach in the history of organized crime; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonanno_crime_family#Downfall_... serves as a decent example, leading to the family's boss himself turning into an FBI informant.
More likely, the NSFW classifier has a lot of false positives because that’s the only way to effectively prevent those outputs, even though it causes it to detect nsfw when there is none.
I am, but I could make $40-60 in the next few hours by dumping the batteries' charge into the grid in the next three hours. That's much less than what I'd get normally.

Basically, I want net metering to be proportional to carbon (and therefore peaker plant use). It's less about the amount of money I get back.

In related news, my batteries aggressively charge themselves during the morning CO2 peak because power is cheap then. They should sell solar production into the grid during those hours and start charging at ~ 10 am.

Crucially, Alireza was banned because of his skyrocketing rating (which is of course indirectly an indication of potential cheating), not because of suspicious play.
Just recently, there was a story of man who lost access to his google account (email, etc) because Google accused him of sending child pornography. The images in question? They were pictures his doctor requested he take and send to him. The police looked into it and were very clear that it was _not_ child pornography. It's bad enough the man lost access to his account without warning or the ability to question the charges before it happened. It's even worse the Google did not re-instate the account, because they decided their automated system acted correctly; even though it's been factually shown they they were wrong.

So YES, Facebook should need to give the person the right to defend themselves before acting taking action because of _alleged_ child porn.
Isn’t that why many invasive species were introduced in the first place?
Velocity is a useful engineering management metric, but solely for the Product Owner's discretion in informing the Business when some particular functionality or set of value can be delivered, based on an ordered, story-pointed backlog.

It's essentially a long term weather forecast. Don't plan your beach vacation for November; don't plan to launch Product Feature X before we could have it done. "Velocity" makes it sound like it's measuring your productivity now, but it's more of a general forecast of the future. And absolutely nobody should be looking at it but the PO.
Tell HN: Sites like Kiwifarms are destroying free speech
Over the last few days, there's been a lot of discussion about kiwifarms being taken offline by Cloudflare. As is expected from HN, the average response was one appalled by the apparent free speech violation, and a general concern for the precedent being set.

While I understand the sentiment, and have thought the same in the past ( with Aaron Swartz or Chelsea Manning); I want to pose an alternative question: What's the precedence set by continuing to do business with kiwifarms?

Over the last few days there's been a lot I've wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't speak. I've been on HN for the better part of a decade, but I can't say anything as myself. Instead I need to use a throwaway account and only connect over a VPN, because I'm a trans woman talking about kiwifarms.

I've seen how dangerous it can be for a trans woman to stick her head up. I've watched friends and strangers alike be harassed, attacked, SWAT'd, and doxxed. Not public figures (though they don't deserve death threats either), just regular trans people trying to live their lives and speak their experiences.

I no longer feel like I can speak up, for fear of illegal reprisals. Why should they be allowed to infringe on my rights? Why should I have to hide?

Cloudflair's decision to stop doing business with kiwifarms is a step towards free speech, not away.
For this sort of thing you have to always tell some authority first, before doing it, and have them approve of the reason. Like a judge of the Law, a grandmaster, something like that. And if she/he refuses don't ask anybody else, no forum shopping, you can ask the same authority again after many intervening interactions a single second time, or allow him to return to you. Or put it on the blockchain, there has to be a commitment is the term of art. It's cheating after all, there has to be integrity from before the fact.

You have any idea what happens when you dogmatically refuse to cheat?

You're conflating a number of points here. California's State Constitution provides a positive right to speech. The Pruneyard case, concerning protests in an open-air shopping center, was upheld due to the Court deciding that the State Constitution's right to positive free speech does not conflict with the negative right to free speech outlined 1st Amendment under certain conditions (i.e. only using common areas accessible to the general public, not protesting inside storefronts, etc.) While it theoretically applies to other states with positive free speech rights, so far, the Pruneyard case has, in practice, only applied to California. Even then, Pruneyard does not apply when it comes to regulating the time, place, or manner of speech and may be rendered irrelevant for supermarkets. (https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/4th/...). And, as a result of Section 230, I certainly doubt Pruneyard applies to content providers, if it ever had any.

In addition, what the Supreme Court found in HiQ Labs vs LinkedIn in regards to obtaining publicly available information says nothing about pinging a website too death until its offline. We're both quite capable in separating the two.
This isn't uncommon. I recall reading an article from the point of a woman in Afghanistan, where she said as much. The Taliban has issues, but the US army that empowered unjust warlords were much worse.

> Nearly every person Shakira knew had a story about Dado. Once, his fighters demanded that two young men either pay a tax or join his private militia, which he maintained despite holding his official post. When they refused, his fighters beat them to death, stringing their bodies up from a tree. A villager recalled, “We went to cut them down, and they had been sliced open, their stomachs coming out.” In another village, Dado’s forces went from house to house, executing people suspected of being Taliban; an elderly scholar who’d never belonged to the movement was shot dead

>When I asked Shakira and other women from the valley to reflect on Taliban rule, they were unwilling to judge the movement against some universal standard—only against what had come before. “They were softer,” Pazaro, the woman who lived in a neighboring village, said. “They were dealing with us respectfully.” The women described their lives under the Taliban as identical to their lives under Dado and the mujahideen—minus the strangers barging through the doors at night, the deadly checkpoints.

>“My daughter wakes up screaming that the Americans are coming,” Pazaro said. “We have to keep talking to her softly, and tell her, ‘No, no, they won’t come back.’

So as a result you have people who don't agree with the Taliban ideologically, joining them just to keep American empowered war lords from killing civilians;

>But in countryside enclaves like Sangin the ceaseless killings of civilians led many Afghans to gravitate toward the Taliban. By 2010, many households in Ishaqzai villages had sons in the Taliban, most of whom had joined simply to protect themselves or to take revenge; the movement was more thoroughly integrated into Sangin life than it had been in the nineties. Now, when Shakira and her friends discussed the Taliban, they were discussing their own friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

Unfortunately these real stories aren't told. I consider myself a liberal, but the amount of liberals bemoaning America leaving Afghanistan was scary. People completely convinced they know the best thing for these people they never met, while American journalism made it clear that the death and rape of American rule in the Afghanistan countryside was not the feminist human rights- filled utopia some still think it was. When you see this, it makes sense why they so easily took over.

Yeah, but there's also defence in depth, right? Being unable to delete a message means you're exposed to anyone who can see your main Slack channel for the stretch of time between posting and rotating, as opposed to the smaller number of people who saw the message or who are running a weird patched Slack client.
Wind resistance increases with the square of speed so going faster than “normal” speed, i.e. the speed they use when calculating range, leads to dramatically less range.
I don't know about Slack, but ones I've used in the past would continually show that indicator if you accidentally hit a key and leave something in the input box, but have tabbed away.
> and then merged them with mix-blend-mode.

In the demo, `mix-blend-mode: normal` is used. This is the default, so this line of CSS isn’t required. You can get some interesting effects if you do use one of the other blend modes with the blurred layer.
That's interesting. Is it because the wires into your house cannot safely take it if you dump your batteries's contents in a few hours.
It doesn't sound like Magnus has made any accusation, right?
it's not the way the world was intended to be.

What? History should always be immutable; let's keep it that way.

If someone sends you a nasty message which they immediately delete: then isn't the world a better place?

No, I think it's better to just apologise for your past actions.

It's a somewhat philosophical and moral question...

Agreed.
But the thing is that mainframes abstract a lot of the fault tolerance in hardware thus absolving the developer of a lot of the responsibility and the cognitive overhead.

A mainframe in software pitch sounds a bit like that 90s RAM expansion software. Could it possibly work? To a limited degree, perhaps. Would I want it instead of an extra RAM stick? Hell no!
I love net metering, but long term it isn’t an entirely fair system. I imagine once they move off of that they’ll be able to have better incentives for those on solar with batteries.
Came hear to mention the ELF and PBLE.

It's shocking to me that someone would expect an enclosed battery-electric vehicle to cost anywhere close to $2k unless their mental image is a cheap electric bike with a rain cape or something?

The ELF and PEBL start(ed) at $10k and while I could imagine that coming down a couple thousand dollars at high volumes I have trouble imagining what corners you could cut to hit a $2k or even $4k price point.
If things are built at maximum cost, there are far fewer things that can be built. Certainly not enough to house everyone.
I would imagine that the root of all evil is anytime you do something without having a clear goal in doing it.

Premature optimization is when you optimize without a slowdown anyone has noticed.

Going overboard with architecture is designing for scale when you have had no need to scale.

But does the fact that a business will push you to keep delivering new features mean that it's often better to prematurely optimize, prematurely architect, so that you don't end up stuck with code that you hate and can't maintain?
Apart from humans.
Honestly, I am very over this (I am 42y/o).

I get a stable salary just for doing my stuff with (mostly) independence. If they want to never use it then that's on them and it's their loss. I still learned good lessons by working on it and that knowledge I'll have until my grave.

To me it's a win all-around. I can and will mention it during meetings if the right moment rolls around but won't insist or push hard on using the about-to-be-abandoned code. As a good colleague I'll point out an inefficiency that slows down product launch. If that gets ignored then I shrug it off -- the leader was given the info and chose their present course despite of it. It's their prerogative.
Building reactors and drilling wells increases supply which decreases cost.

Saying this wouldn't help is just false. Of course increased supply helps with shortages.

Oof.
It's too bad this article never links to the paper [1] being hinted at.

In late 2012 (first submission) tensor decomposition was likely very interesting (the paper has >1000 citations!). But given that this article doesn't distinguish between "use tensors" and "use tensor decomposition, not SVD or similar for old school setups" I think the article is super confusing.

Perhaps the author didn't get the distinction, and decided to write up a "renegade/rebel" piece that is sadly a non sequitur.

No it's not. But one has to be obsessive if one's to keep the salt below 2.4g and do so every day!

For me, cooking is a chore however I eat mostly at home. Two issues: almost everything other than vegetables has salt it, even packs of herbs. OK, I can run without condiments and herbs of any kind but it's damn boring. The other issue: you tell me how one can cook for a family and keep the food salt-free.

They wouldn't stand for it. Riot time, anyone?

Edit: the key issue here is lowering the consumption of salt across the whole population. You obviously like cooking and that's fine. But look at the stats, people not only in the US but all over the world are eating out more than ever, cafe culture seems to have taken over the world.

The moment you eat out you've lost control over the salt content.

TX does have its own grid, but it is able to import power from the eastern grid (not the western that CA is on, though). Moreover, in the middle of the winter, what was equally important was that the natgas pipeline capacity was shared with other states (and Mexico), and that's what had the biggest failure, because many others were using record amounts of natgas at the same time TX needed it, in part to fuel electrical plants. Unlike, for example, coal, where you have a big mound of it next to the plant, and sure it's brought in by train but it's not expected to show up just-in-time.

All of which is to say, being on a larger grid only helps if everyone else isn't peaking at the same time you are.
COBOL was designed to help BAs write code. Kinda.

Fit/Fitnesse/Cuke were designed to help them write tests. But only sorta.

What we really need is a framework for them to do UX . . . just kidding!

Let's just keep BAs (or PMs or POs or . . .) far away from any code. We can do that and still be "agile" and involve them. right?

It actually is. The major "hack" in lossy formats is psychoacoustics. It's literally about removing the things you don't hear. At lower bitrates, it's about removing the things you hear less.

The argument Montey is making for 44.1/16 vs. 192/24 is partly about the hardware and distortion of higher formats, but he spends a lot more time in there talking about what we don't hear.

The real point is: what we hear is the important quantifier for audio formats. Arguments from data purity are almost entirely the same quasi-religious stuff that the hi-fi world has been producing since at least the 70s.

(And again, it's weird: there's nothing similar in images: lossless photos just don't make sense for general consumption; they're only useful for archival and post-processing purposes. But there are immeasurably less imagephiles than audiophiles. My guess is that it's because there was a time when being an audiophile was a class signifier.)

Even the original thread author was mostly making an argument from purity rather than from audio quality. Audio quality is the only thing that matters.

FLAC is great for some stuff (again, where you may need to reencode, where you're creating archives, etc.), but for casual listening, it's entirely pointless. For the same reason Montey spends most of that article on: because you can't hear a difference.

Montey is the creator of Vorbis. He's spent a lot of time thinking about what people do and don't hear. The reasons people don't hear differences in 192 kHz and 44.1 kHz are different than the reasons people don't hear the difference between a 256 kbit MP3 and a FLAC (at 256 kbps, virtually noone can hear a difference), but it's still an appeal to ears being the important instruments in measuring audio quality, not bits, or gold plated cables, or other esoteric things that seem to beleaguer impassioned audio hobbyists.
Those of us who have been doing this a long time develop an awareness of our "hot path", and defend it against encroachments. Work keeping speed bumps out of our hot path is not premature.
No, but I feel like the ideology of the person posting this misses the fact that they are on the side of what empowers people like Putin.

Kiwi farms is clearly an issue that needs to be handled, but in my mind to handle it requires you be hesitant, it requires you be reluctant to shut them down because you don't want to step over that line. It means setting up barriers to your authority to shut other people down.

This, what I see here, is a glee for it. It's loarding your power over others, it's enacting revenge.

That is the toxicity I see. Pragmatic handling of speech requires that you sometimes shut down bad actors, but when the people in charge are doing it without concern, or the people driving it or using unchecked forces to do it, that's an issue.
The point is that just because something can be represented as the result of malloc(), doesn't make the data structure the same as that thing. That is, what is:

float* x = malloc(width*height*channels*sizeof(float))

Is x an "Image"? Is x a "tensor"? Is x a "raster"?

For tensors specifically, if x is not itself the product of vector spaces, then it's not a tensor.

tl;dr: While every rank-N tensor can be represented with multidimensional arrays, not all multidimensional arrays are rank-N tensors.
Let's add that there is much snake oil in the audiophile obsession. Audiophile formats, equipment, and marketing come and go, but the single most important differentiating factor in audio quality is the equipment and engineering talent at the time of recording.

For example, much of the great early Bluenote jazz was recorded by RVG in the living room of his parents' home in New Jersey. [1]

I certainly never implied Texans were "dumb." It is the case that Texas' unique situation makes them LESS connected, and therefore less stable, right?

As far as everybody else, I think the calls for updating the grid for everyone have been around for a while and that's why Congress set aside a bunch of money for it? Because it was needed and everybody agrees? No need to make this partisan. I think everybody favors a more robust grid, even folks who voted against the legislation for other reasons.
Can California buy eneergy from neighboring states?
Texas has a pretty sweet setup because their solar resources are far to the west of their population centers. In California, it’s the other way around. Our solar resources are east of our principal cities, so at that critical moment right around sundown in the late summer the demand and supply have a close encounter.
Is asthma affected by CO2?

> You’re saying that if demand for electricity goes up, it won’t be met?

Yes.

Because government does not price things based on supply&demand. Therefore, you get shortages (rolling blackouts).
I was referring to branding. To clarify my point, I believe having branding separate from Arm’s does not substantially indicate a desire to move away from Arm.
Original comment.

"and then sent over Wifi or Bluetooth"

the information about lossless was informative.
Good website, but note that the data is from 2020, which is better than I've got but one might expect Industrial to be actually higher in 2022, and residential somewhat lower.

Hard to compare with CA though because their data is probably even more skewed by 2020 special factors.

Startups are supposedly fast and agile enough that perhaps they can evaluate contractor work week over week.

There is no direct admission. It is still a speculation: https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/x6rxcx/fact_check_is...

At this point, I am just extremely skeptical of the narratives in chess. It is much like politics. No substance, all speculation. If I have to speculate, it would be that Hans is a weirdo and has no social skills, people are piling up on his atypical asshole-like personality.

If there is proof to any of this, we should condemn it. Cheating sucks. It is even more serious if Hans actually cheated in an OTB game, that would be a major violation of sportsmanship. It would be a career ending move.
I really cannot understand how we went from having excess capacity as described in this article (https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fproj...) to the current situation.
