Well I'm definitely not FIRE.

Prior to the pandemic my partner and I were thinking of taking our family to Italy, I'd begun lining up a remote part-time job, and was looking at doing a masters in Italy at the university of Padua, one of the world's oldest universities, you can study in English and
it's cheap.

You already know why that didn't happen.

I decided to start over with an undergraduate degree in biomedicine, because that's what I wanted to do. If you want to go straight to a masters, I wouldn't discount the possibility.

Here are some sites I found useful:

https://www.unipd.it/en/
https://www.unibo.it/en

https://www.mastersportal.com/
https://www.distancelearningportal.com/countries/

During the pandemic local universities that normally have large numbers of foreign students were desperate for new students, fees were lowered on a number of subjects and everything went online , and they got very loose about deadlines - everything was asynchronous, so I was do all my school work after hours and on weekends, and I used leave to take time off for exams - in Australia we have a minimum 4 weeks annual leave. I live outside Melbourne, which had the longest sustained lockdowns anywhere, maybe it's been surpassed now, officially there were ~260 days of lockdowns, things are only really starting to open up again now. I used this time to do the introductory science subjects that normally have long in-person lab sessions. Classes are still only partially back on campus, and will probably remain mostly asynchronous forever.
So that's how I have been able to study and work. As to how I made the transition, I applied for jobs, but it's was through word of mouth that I got to speak to the biomed start up I'm now working for. I think it was pretty novel for them to meet someone who had a strong software background, and was interested and contributing to a discussion about physiology so we hit it off and now I'm working with them full-time, and more productive and satisfied with work than I been for, well ever actually.
Does this incorporate GFPGAN for face detection/cleaning and realesran for upscaling?
Having to prove yourself innocent of criminal accusation after killing someone else seems like a pretty reasonable system. The idea that killing other human beings using a car is "expected" and "the norm" seems to me like the bad system.

I agree and I think it would be more important to focus on maintaining a baseline of productivity, by helping people to get through life _at all_. We are loosing too many humans on their way through life, more than we loose by not everyone being 100% productive all the time.
In the EU, many companies (esp. government) are required by law to layoff recent hires first, or in a particular order. Governments have largely decided that the government, not large companies themselves, do union negotiation, giving what the government wants, tempered a bit by negotiations (but NOT negotiated with the employees themselves), the force of law.

And mostly it's most-recent hire gets fired first. Of course the government does exempt itself from these regulation: both union folks themselves and people that are for various reasons placed by government (e.g. people who have a regulatory function, but work/are paid by the bank, and usually a whole management structure above them), cannot get fired. Only in healthcare have I really seen that there's a real order, and of course, it's based on perceived status. Maintenance personnel gets fired first, administrators last. Despite the obvious problems this generates for the care patients receive.

The real kick in the nuts of these agreements is that because they have force of law, they override your contract (instead of contracts taking precedence like in the private sector) and are not bound by many rules (e.g. they can devalue pensions already earned AFTER THE FACT. For example, say you "earn" 100 per month pension for every year of work. After 20 years, they suddenly decide that, no, they're only going to pay you 50. Despite you having already earned that)
> You have to rotate the quad to face the camera

Or you only run the center point through the camera transform, and then render the quad in screen space. Should be cheaper in terms of compute.
I agree that JuMP is great, however most people (outside of academia) aren't solving optimisation problems in a vacuum. Once you start trying to build a useful application with data IO and transformation, configurations, UI, queueing and batch processing, and all that 'boring' stuff around your optimisation program it often gets easier to do it in a different language, like for example python. If nothing else you will have a much larger pool of developers to hire from. You now have the choice between trying to call JuMP from Python and just using a python library like Pyomo, which is almost as good as JuMP.
Go without the garbage collector.

I like the article but it lacks some very important topics on the benefits side.
When using SaaS, you normally do not need an administrator/devops and you do not need to reinvent the wheel.

Imagine you would need to run applications like linkedin, hubspot, calendly, google workspace etc. on premise like it was in the past.
I wasn't really sure about some of the technical details myself including the X-rays. I think when you are talking about something with as much energy as an X-ray you would be looking at multiple effects with a cascade of electrons and photons being emitted and absorbed at different energy levels. But I think it would all be optimised for wrapping around the fusion core.

I also think comparison of efficiency is tremendously hard because if you managed to create a fusion device with direct energy conversion you might have something that is essentially solid-state with no moving parts (apart from fuel injection). That implies being smaller, having faster control of the output power levels, and less maintenance. Hard to compare but a nice dream I think.

When GPT-3 was hot but unavailable, there was an online experiment where you could query an AI philosopher. Invisible to the user, the GPT-3 would first be prompted that it was a great philosopher, after which the user query would be appended. You didn't actually see any of this mind you, only the GPT-3 output.

But, you could get all kinds of unanticipated outputs by hacking the prompt in similar ways as the OP. I even got it to output its secret prompting, which in turn helps to make new hacks.

Ahh, fun times.

Our old cutlery is apparently Dubarry pattern (fairly similar to that linked below) which looks to be a very similar profile but less fancy than your Kings pattern. I much prefer using it over our newer Newton, see my other post in this thread for what I think about that one.

In my experience, quite a few libraries only worked when pulled from conda, due to the whole M1-compatible compilation thing. So while Apple does not force you to install conda, in practice you kind of are forced.

This is/has been changing slowly, though. Things are much better then they were a year ago.
What does well known history mean when the problematic posts are quickly deleted and someone got KiwiFarms removed from the Internet Archive?

> showing that Japan's vital statistics

You believe there is ~1 monthly death of US citizens in Japan? No, those stats are not useful.

> All of the "confirmation" that appears to exist is an anonymous person on Twitter

And you know... confirmation from Near's friends if you don't ignore them.

> The KiwiFarms thread also points out that Near had threatened (or maybe pretended to, can't remember) to commit suicide before

And this is just disgusting. If you want to publicly discuss someone's attempted suicide and consider if you can legally take their money to remove that discussion... You've hit the bottom. You need to reconsider your life choices at that point.

Ask HN: Why is pay so much higher in the US? (or is it?)
Even compared to other developed nations in Europe and most certainly compared to my country (Korea), the pay range I see for remote jobs from US seems to be in a totally different ball park. There must be numerous contributing factors, but I can't quite grasp how come.

Or maybe not all jobs are paid so well or living costs compromise all that, but do they?
I truly don't understand why everybody keeps referencing Mick West's debunking video of these pieces of UFO footage. He gives the distinct impression of being a smugly dogmatic "skeptic" who approaches this subject with all the answers set in his mind beforehand and then molds any arguments or evidence to fit what he's already convinced of, He does this as rigidly as a deep UFO nut would automatically assume something unusual in the sky is always aliens. Note that this behavior is emphatically not genuine skepticism, it's all the opposite in many ways and no more reasoned or rational than a blind belief in the paranormal.

I actually corresponded on the guy about inconsistencies in his own claims about the navy UFO videos and he gave no satisfactory justification for his extremely superficial arguments, which essentially focus on his own perceptions of inconsistencies in the footage itself and simply disregard weeks of repeated sightings, radar tracking and up-close eye-witness encounters between trained, professional pilots and the objects themselves in the air.

These are pilots who on at least a couple of these occasions observed the objects from fairly close range, in broad daylight and had their observations at least partially confirmed at the same time by also professional operators of sophisticated tracking systems (radar etc) onboard the Navy's ships.

Mick West mostly disregards all of this

Debunking with a critical eye is good and necessary but again, one sometimes one gets the feeling that certain debunkers feel a need to do so at all costs because that's their label, even if their own "rational" interpretations make leaps of logic much worse than simply admitting that something inexplicable was observed.
Public transportation is inferior in almost every way to private cars.

The only real advantages are cost, emissions, and the ability to read a book instead of focusing on the road.

The US, being overall a very wealthy country, is going to go straight to self-driving Teslas which address the second and third consideration, and not indulge in every other irritating and suboptimal aspect of public transportation while pretending it is better.
Ask HN: Niche high-tech software companies?
I'm interested in small software companies that sell highly specialized software. Examples from the top of my head would be Hex-Rays (selling a disassembler and decompiler) and AbsInt (selling static analysis software and a formally-verified C compiler).

There was a nice educational game for mobile devices called Dragonbox Elements that also did this, in a very kid-friendly way. But I always thought Dragonbox's interfaces (they had an algebra game too) were almost too nice for kids' games, I wanted something more useful as a proof assistant. So very happy someone is exploring this space further!

logitext.mit.edu/tutorial was also something similar, an interactive, puzzle-game like interface for proving statements in the sequent calculus. Maybe that can be an inspiration too?

I like the way you put that. Life is but a dream.
You neglect to mention that this "child porn" example was private communication between child/parents and their doctor showing a medical issue, which (an algorithm of) Google had decided to upload, scan, and sent to the police.

It was never the intention of "the poster" to "share child porn". They never had any to begin with. It's just algorithms doing things, then blaming the owner of the device for what Google (incorrectly) perceived them to be doing.

Use composition, views are great for that, modern databases will optimize trough views as well so it's not like the day of old where a view with a join was an all consuming monster.

We already had the best minds in the world to try and replace sql, but because sql is rooted in group theory and math is hard to budge they all eventually had to get back and implement the group bys and havings and whatnot that complicate the sql syntax, except tackled on and with their proprietary syntax.

How could anyone write this article and fail to include pictures of the spoons? The first thing I did was skim the article for spoon pictures or links to spoon pictures and was immediately disappointed.

Gotta agree with the other posters, this is a pretty shallow article.

However, seeing this makes me cognizant that there must be a huge cutlery fandom somewhere.

But in reality, there can be no perfect spoon. The ideal spoon will vary depending on your situation and use case. The best spoon is whatever's available on hand. The curse of expensive cutlery is that it only gets used on special occasions, in a betrayal of purpose.

One can imagine a fine dining experience where the spoon head is pre heated or cooled in preparation of a dish. This level of attention to detail is a delight.

Impressive. I want it.

Often downloading a book again to get it into a standalone pdf reader is faster than searching in chrome.
TIL that I am a product engineer. I identify very strongly with many of the points made in this article.

But I have to say I’m disappointed in the conclusion about hiring. Early in the article it teases that PEs are “easily identifiable” in the interview process. But the final conclusion is to just ask general problem solving questions and not require specific language expertise, which I’d argue most companies are already doing. Consider the classic FAANG interview - general problem solving, interviewee picks the language.

Would have loved to see this part fleshed out more because I agree with the general premise of the article and also think there are real ways to identify PEs at the interview stage.

If the dashboard only needed hourly or daily updates and the previously rendered dashboard stays visible, there's no need to leave the Raspberry Pi running all the time.

Back when I worked in the video game industry I built a tool to find places in the collision mesh where objects could fall out of the map. It worked by just doing millions of ball simulations. Distributed the job with one sector per core to every developer machine at night. Worked great!

Oxydendron is an Ericaceae, same as the blueberry. There are lots of very good honey made of this family, and even some sligthly poisonous as Rhododendron's honey. None of them are this blue. Blueberry honey is amber and the well known Oxydendron honey is just ligther in color. Unless something has changed in the mix is dubious that is the culprit here.

One possibility would be some bee antifungus treatment using methylene blue, because it does not contain copper (Anything with copper would be toxic for bees). This does not explain the aluminium in any case.

Other could bee hydrangeas treated with aluminum to remain blue, but I'm just speculating. Bees are attracted only by some hydrangeas that don't need this. They like my blue bird Hydrangea serrata for sure.
Probably, everyone is coding software using electron.

(While I am picking on electron, the truth is, if compute power exists, it seems DEVs never need to reign in code, or worry about efficiency.

Where I work, we purposefully set DEVs loose in VMs with minimal RAM, minimal CPU. If your app can't work with small RAM, and small CPU, how on Earth will it scale to 100s of requests per second? Compute costs.)
i disagree because land developers and land development programs already exist we simply need to coordinate a co-op effort.

using homes an investment leads to hoarding of resources.

Why does america have more empty homes than homeless people? Markets have failed because they're chasing imaginary rental demand instead of adapting to real demand.

If people could only own 1 residential property at a time this would not be an issue and the whole program thecalebf built would not be needed.

the program you built helps exacerbate a social ill, and while it's great technically it's horrible socially.

I hope this feedback helps you pivot to solve the more pressing problem in real estate.
This is an amazing engineering and artistic achievement. I have the Live Wallpaper for Android and it's the most delightful $2 I've ever spent, even though it crashes every few days. Right now it's snowing. Yesterday night I spotted a shooting star.

Interesting. You’re the first person to ask for same tab opening. But it might make sense for this particular case. I’ll have a think.
> even if you don't have a car, you benefit from the roads existing

That's the most interesting part to me. Trucks using the road is really important to our society, and if everyone benefits from it I'm not sure it makes much sense either to make commercial entities pay in full for it.

The same way railroads where heavily subsidized and water ways are also usually state/government projects, road maintenance could be (and probably is up to a point?) handled at the same level.

My ideal would be to get rid of SUV preferential policies so there is no need to counterbalance their use on other aspects. In a balanced setting, SUVs are rarely a rational choice (cf. the cars that get chosen everywhere else in the world).

I had been trying to push this PEP ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0582/ ) which requires a very minimal work and it will help a lot of people and it seems stuck

So I'm not really surprised PIP is pretty much abandoned/dead. No one wants to introduce changes or improve it, it is easy to think: it works (for me), so why change anything?

Ubuntu LTS is no longer viable, their last viable revision was 18.04.

I kinda doubt it. Only new ISPs are rolling out IPv6 ATM, because they know they will not be able in the future to get enough IPv4 to satisfy demand. Everyone else is sitting on a crapload of IPv4 and will never bother to implement IPv6 until it is mandated by either the Italian government or the EU, whichever comes first.
I think people use different terms imbued by their own value system to describe the same thing.

Sometimes people talk about code being “beautiful”. I’ve never felt beauty from code, but I’ve felt pleasant satisfaction with well-designed code. Maybe just the same thing?
Oof. Everything in my 12-13 years of engineering has led me to the exact opposite conclusion of literally every point you made here.

Are you genuinely suggesting that making a network call is easier than calling a function in the same code base running in the same process?
