What about outdoor pm2.5?

I live in an area prone to frequent fog for many months out of the year.

I learned that the fog will thoroughly disrupt the accuracy of pm2.5 sensors.

After some research I found that running the air through a heated pitot or similar before taking a measurement will almost entirely correct this for somewhat obvious reasons; the fog is evaporated.

As far as I can tell, none of the mid to high range weather stations have such a system and they will all be corrupted by a sight fog.

I’ve resigned myself to making one… Does such a sensor even exist?
>Extortion is the metaphor I use.

When I mentioned "grift or worse", extortion is what I was thinking of but just unable to use my brain to get to extortion. So thanks for getting me there.
If you read the article, you would understand that is nonsense.

The law simply says that to be evidence they have to be specific, be relevant, and/or include non-publicly known information.

Another commenter brought up cash, and they’re right.
By the current rules, if the police in Reno had an unsolved murder in which the victim was shot, they could put Johnny Cash on trial and use “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” as being hard evidence and an admission of guilt.
Obviously there are reasons that the Reno police are not going to arrest Johnny cash on murder charges, but the example is completely true.

The first reply is passive-aggressive and is inappropriate in the context of an interview (assuming that's word for word what has been said).

A better answer would be either "Yep sounds good to me" or something along the lines of "Let's step back and first define what a state machine should do".

Even if GP was not getting the job it is the responsibility of a good interviewer that GP leaves the room having learned something. If GP left this interview still not knowing what a state machine is (or what the interviewer thinks a state machine is) or no closer to an implementation of a state machine then the interviewer has failed as much as the candidate.
Honestly, this seems all rather reasonable?

These companies are basically dying. So might as well manage the decline and return money to investors.

It's good for the economy as a whole if employees move to other companies; instead of engaging in make-work.
This seems to be a particularly bad time to implement this dumb idea. If it does become successful and prevalent, who do they think is going to be the writers apart from gpt3 clones.

Eheheh, eah, sure "master manipulators" without a shred of marketing talent.
Then they'd literally just go after people because they think they might harbor certain ideas?

"sir you are under arrest for maybe thinking about banning dairy production, which is at conflict with national security. We found an anonymous text online that has the same idea."

Why even bother to come up with a pretext then?
Many times it's the other way around.

Obviate has several cognates in romance languages, so it is straightforward.

Now, the phrasal verbs that are so obvious to a native speaker, these are the real head-scratchers.

Or street slang. It may sound like dumbing it down to you, but it actually adds complexity for a non-native.

> Automation is coming

This has been said over and over. In the 1980's people worried automation would leave lots of people unemployed. And long before in 1931 Keynes [1] predicted we should now be living in a world of abundance. He said our the biggest concern would be how to spend all this free time.

Yet I see people working harder than ever, and burnout is the number one reason for absence of work in many countries.

Every step you automate opens up new possibilities and more employees are needed. I work as a software engineer now for around 15 years. Never have my software reduced costs, because as soon as my software automates something people want more.

Although I'm skeptical, we could really facing a turning point, Keynes made his predictions for 2030, so we'll see :)

Sorry, it's a little clunky at the moment. Just to clarify, you're actually directly searching for images that have been previously been summoned by other users. Our recommendation algorithm right now is "pretty bad" because we're just checking for words that might be related.

But if you scroll down to the bottom of the search results, you can "summon more images from beyond", and then you'll see a direct prompt generation to your search.

Ideally this'll enable people to reuse images that are really good and viable over and over again just like stock photos instead of searching hard for new images from random image generations, which is pretty exciting I think.

Let me know if this helps!
It sounds plausible that it's the most expensive thing on the server side, if you have cheap simulation/behaviour and many concurrent users.

But unless it's a non commercial project, the cost shouldn't be a big deal, so it's still a bit strange.
It seems strange that this comment was so aggressively down voted. Anything related to Elon gets the same treatment by HN that I feel that Elon invites a visceral rather than an objective reaction.
Well you leave out the small inconvenient truth that TRIGA is not power generating.

The earlier series of the blog post we are discussing actually talks about that a significant fraction of the cost of a nuclear plant is the thermal power plant part, which is the same as for a coal plant for example.

Moreover, actually having to use a reactor for power generation significantly increases the complexity of the design, you suddenly need to heat water, which means two different water cycles which mustn't contaminate each other... And having water involved makes things more tricky anyway because of corrosion...
I only own a MacBook Air and miss my PC days for a more hardcore experience but I find it super hard to find fun games to play (maybe its age...) these days.

The last one I really had fun was:

Divinity Original Sin 2 - probably the greatest turn-based RPG
SteamWorld Dig 2

Really want to try the suggestions here though like Outer Wilds, Deathloop

Does the steam deck support ray tracing now? It didn't back when it was released (out of the box), and also required messing around with stuff to enable it.

If you don't care about ray tracing, Linux gaming on Steam is pretty much install it and it works. I enabled the multilib repos in arch, installed steam from pacman and that was it. I was playing games immediately.

You don't need to mess around with lutris/wine, Steam just does it for you with proton. At most you can install proton ge[0] to see if it fixes some problems with proton for the game you're trying. But if the problem is with proton, you'd have the same issues on the steam deck as well.

Toyota didn't jump on the EV trend because EVs kinda suck in Japan. Electricity is mostly imported and increasing reliance on it is a bad idea for Japan. ICE is worse, but Hydrogen is better (Japan is an island), which is why Toyota has been pushing Hydrogen.

> Any referendum carried out by an occupying force and followed by an annexation is against international law, specifically Article 47 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, not to mention the UN Charter

There is already a legal precedent with Kosovo, which at the very least means that the global community accepts voting "with armed soldiers behind your back".

It's not about hard or easy axis, it's investors' mood / dream / "vision" .. influenced by hype (which media they consume, which developers they listen to). It's as hard as someone want to put money on some horse and want some return, and that money is operated on assumption of willing to loss (amount) .. i.e. risk management. People only view it on one end like the other end is some sort of holy justice.

> I am stunned at how large the discounts are for some of the big celeb names. I’ve seen new children’s titles offered to us at up to 60% discount. This is very tempting for retailers because we can sell them at full price and make a tidy profit.

If you list your book on Ingram Spark (as I did), you have to choose a retail price and a discount for every country they sell in. You're given the printing cost, and it's quite possible, if you do it wrong, for your book to end up with a negative profit margin in some countries. From memory, the usual discount is 55% and (I guess) if you offer the retailer less, they just don't stock it.

Of course, that assumes they'd stock your book anyway. That's why this is just a meaningless game to me.

They warn you about negative profits, of course. You fix the problem by making the "retail price" even higher. Of course, you have no idea what the bookstore is actually selling it for.

It's interesting to hear that some big publishers get around that by taking a loss on the book. I suppose they do that to get shelf space. (Maybe someone who understands book publishing better than I do can explain it?)
Good luck with that.

The idea of a distributed bug tracker was in vogue in the first years of the DVCS rise.

The problem is that it doesn’t really make any sense, or at least nobody managed to make it make sense: a bug tracker is a synchronisation point, and a bug is a cross-cutting concern, and one which outlives it’s fix.

What is the `-m` for? Looking at the man page it says: "-m will produce the output only if -p is given as well."

Fwiw I don’t think my company would still be around today if I had started it alone instead of with my co-founder.

You gotta be lucky to get along, and we get along disgustingly well. We hardly knew each other when we started and now it feels like we’ve been besties since primary school or something. That’s pure luck, like so many things.

But the way we’ve carried each other through hard times is, to me, irreplaceable.

I've been trying for two months to provision internet service with AT&T, not because I like AT&T, but because they're the only provider with fiber in my area.

My emails aren't returned and every phone call only reaches people who have neither the ability nor the authority to fix the problem.

Today AT&T called me, not with a solution, but with offers for twenty percent off wireless service. Now that I'm a customer, I'm on every marketing list, but I cannot access the service I paid for.

AT&T's system is full of mistakes, and they haven't set up a functional system to let people get the mistakes fixed.

I believe AT&T is an evil and malicious organization for other reasons, but the fact they are denying me internet connectivity is not one of them.

This is either garden-variety incompetence, or it's a business decision that there's no ROI in fixing every broken process and edge case.
This is definitely a fair assessment. I think a lot of the "wow" factor is just seeing the generated images in the first place.

In truth I think a lot of value will be added as we start improving filtering. Once users are able to vote on "usable" or "unusable" images, or request variations of an existing photo.

I've genuinely used it for 3-4 photos where I would have previously used Unsplash, and I'm optimistic that I can get that number to steadily trend upwards.

I don't expect this to erase any of the existing stock photo tools on the market, though I do think this will add some new value to the space. Honestly my goal was "will my mom be able to use this?"

Hope that helps clarify the goal a bit more, and I do really appreciate the feedback!

This type of thing has been targeted at high school students and undergrads.

There are often cash prizes, comped travel, and companies are eager to give a lot of these people interviews. I'm fairly confident the US government is happy to shower this type of thing with money as well.

This is like ACM programming competitions. A significant number of the teams on ctftime.org represent colleges world wide.

CTF's come with points and scores and ranks. Why do people play recreational sports? Why do people do escape rooms or puzzle hunts or any of that other stuff?

As far as methods used to solve CTF problems, the practical knowledge gained from solving many CTF problems is directly applicable to future jobs in a way that other methods (like the majority of college homework) are not. If you do CTF's, you will definitely have to write programs that interact with file formats and you will definitely have to write programs that interface with webservers, and you are very likely to get into the esoteric edge cases of various languages that will result in a fairly deep understanding of how languages work past a few reserved words and a couple data structures. There are even problems that will draw you into learning about signal processing or how punch cards used to work.
> There comes a point where Youtube is not saving money by automating their content moderation but Youtube decides to keep pushing forward.

When you deal with the scale that YT are operating at, automating content moderation is the only cost effective way.

> At some point a competitor that is good enough will arrive

Competitors have always existed. They existed before YT got big, still exist, and new competitors have been created since. The problem isn’t lack of competition, it’s the network effect. People go on YT, few specifically load YT to go on specific channels. Or to put it in an old world context, people don’t buy a TV for a specific TV show. They buy one to watch lots of TV shows knowing there are multiple shows they could enjoy.

So content creators leaving YT doesn’t equate to all their subscribers leaving YT. If anything, what that actually equates to is that content creator loosing viewers. And bare in mind that most content creators will have significantly more viewers (regular + irregular) than the number who’ve subscribed.
I'm trying to be descriptive, not prescriptive. It's a black hole because these machines will acquire anything and feed it through the cash flow machine. Massive waves of layoffs because there will be multiple 1K+ layoffs coming over the next year or two as they execute the integration plan.

Massive waves of layoffs are bad for most people and usually great for the company but I won't put a value judgment on it. Some think it "leaves them free to pursue more productive things" and others think "that person is going to struggle for a while due to corporate greed for cash flow." Candidly, I've done several of these deals before where we merge two companies of similar complexity and lay off 50-70% of the combined headcount. The company almost always turns out better for it. Things are that inefficient past a certain FTE size.

For those laid off, it's a different story. An internal analysis done by consultants my team hired 3 years after a multi-stage layoff of 10K people found that >50% of those affected were materially worse off and only 10% were better off. Statistical analysis on the strongest prediction of negative outcomes was age. Nothing else was even close to as relevant.
I can see it now:

Microsoft: "Sorry $site_owner, We (some unaccountable ML model) detected that you have violated some rule (we will not tell you which) and as a result, your website can no longer be accessed.

There are other ways to protect user privacy without conveniently putting yourself in charge. They pulled the same move with UEFI and secure boot

Microsoft needs to be investigated and fined.
Maybe this is exclusively a networking or proximity problem but considering the tech circles I run in internationally, there just isn't an abundant amount of people I want to do business with as partners. And frankly, yes, it is because most people are woefully underqualified.

I think this is the attitude tech accelerators are actively trying to avoid when they look for startups with more than one founder. The most important thing by far in a startup is the ability of the founders to work with other people - to be successful in an accelwrator you'll need to work with the accelerator team, other founders, investors, people you hire, and your customers. Having a co-founder or two is a strong signal that you can do that. You will have no control whatsoever over who most of those people are, or how "qualified" they might be. You have to have the ability to get on well with them and work with them no matter what.

That doesn't mean you can't be a solo founder and succeed. People do that. It just means you're much less likely to succeed in an accelerator if you can't demonstrate the ability to work well with others.
I assume they’ll catchup as fast as they catch up with their FSD to Waymo. Which is driving customers for years, while Tesla’s FSD cannot go without intervention for more than few miles, at best, in any more complex environment. And yes, I know Waymo uses HD maps and limited geo area. So does Tesla, and they’re explicitly mapping and testing areas driven by popular influencers.

And it’s assuming that there’s actually a market for humanoid robots. Other than futurology folks getting excited about that form factor, there’s no real market for it, and research shows that humanoids robots are almost never a most optimal answer.
