I think it's a bit more complicated than OSS is people that are willing to work for free - and that sort of conception, unfortunately, is why I also think it might not be sustainable.

Social contracts are really the key here. What OSS is offering is something for a per-unit price of 0.00, for everyone, and without expectation of 'proper use'. Unfortunately, what OSS needs in return isn't well-defined even within the open-source community itself. But it certainly does need something. Otherwise it wouldn't be a social contract, i.e. be able to exist for very long.

Sure, it's a little more complex if you want to train on specific heads as opposed to a generic model, but not hugely so. The biggest challenge would likely be downsampling the video stream into something the model can process quickly enough.

> the first thing he's likely to do is unban Trump, Along with all the other far right nutcases.

How is Trump far right? Has he ever advocated for a white ethnostate, rallied against Jews, gypsies and black people? Worn a swastika? Supported Hitler?

Please don't use words when you don't know the meaning of them. Trump is right wing (and fairly left of the right wing, he's socially liberal in many ways). He is not far right.

Your entire post is full of severe assertions with no supporting arguments.

Consider that the first real commit is to a virtual commit with hash 0000000... that contains an empty tree.

History is absolutely fascinating (one of my favorite subjects), but not very useful. History has too high of causal density to allow drawing any clear lessons. We’ve studied WWI and WWII extensively, and nobody’s really sure what ‘caused’ either. Was it the shooting of an archduke that caused both? What about the arms buildups? The alliances? Just flukes? It’s not clear, and it never will be.

History is a beautiful subject and a great hobby, but almost completely useless. On the other hand, every student needs to understand finance and the law, both on the individual level, and in order to be a thoughtful voter.
Echoing my frustration... A few months ago I went through a similar search. IIRC my needs were: binary data storage (not ascii), index-based access on arrays without loading the whole file in memory, being able to attach metadata with the file contents, with interfaces for multiple scientific programming languages (Python, Julia, etc).

I recall going through ASDF, BSDF and a handful of other formats, finally ending up with HDFS -- which was okay, but not fully satisfactory (I don't recall all my gripes right now).

Good managers will and in return turn you into a better person for it too!
According to a anecdotal test on one of the images found elsewhere in this thread, JPEG comression at 80% quality can chop a factor of 16 off the size of a 24bpp .bmp file.

384 / 16 = 24bits per [64x64x4-] array value. Integer range of 32bit float is 2^24. So "literally just a jpeg packed into 16K floats" is a option.
Knuth and Conway, each have 100s of articles, yet, Barry Kercheval has none. Guess which one taught me more about programming and the CCP?
Honestly, listen more. Who is an effective speaker in your work or community? What kinds of phrases do they use to make people feel comfortable and heard? Echo and mimic what seems to work and see how it feels.

When we have stressful events at work I pay attention to what our manager says and note what's effective. You can even write down useful phrases and try to incorporate them into your vocabulary. Pay attention to how people respond...if it's effective, keep it, if it's awkward, keep trying.
No. We are doomed.
You don't need 'hundreds' fps - you can do it w/ 10sec and get better reaction time than humans (reaction under 100ms in track events is consider foul). It should not be so difficult with a separate GPU and a capture card.

I'm late to this, but you can't post national/ethnic/regional/racial slurs like this to HN, regardless of which group you've had a problem with.

I noticed that you've done this at least once before about a different part of the world ("a bit of an asshole"). Can you please not post like this to HN? We all have these sorts of prejudices because we all overgeneralize from limited experience–but when we broadcast them to thousands of people, which is what you're doing when posting to HN, it tends to produce flamewars, which we don't want here.

Rich people are less affected by inflation because they have access to investment opportunities that aren't as affected - for example, I'm sure German billionaires have money in American hedge funds. The middle class are most negatively affected by the tax of inflation because they have enough money that having the value of it reduced by inflation is meaningful, but they don't have sophisticated investment instruments to hedge against inflation.

This takes us back to what I wrote originally - why is inflation the way to do this as opposed to just tax and spend? That is, why not create a specific tax and implement that and use the proceeds to pay for poor people's energy? Money printing is just a dishonest way to sneak a tax in on people who might not recognize it as a tax.
Bioinformatics file formats are broken, but it's better to try to understand why they are broken before rushing to fix them.

One key problem is that technology changes quickly. There are always new instruments generating new kinds of data with new properties and new features. People are using that data in new applications.

Software comes many years behind the state of the art. First you need to figure out what is the exact problem the software is supposed to solve. Then you have to solve the problem and turn the prototype into a useful tool. This work is mostly done by researchers who may know a little about software engineering. By the time the situation is stable enough that software engineers who are not active researchers in the field could be useful, it's often too late to change the file formats. There is already too much legacy data and too many tools supporting the established formats.

Another key problem is that the "broken" file formats are often good enough. When you have tabular data where the fields can be reasonably understood as text, a simple TSV-based format often gets the job done. Especially if individual datasets are only tens of gigabytes. By using a custom format, you avoid having to choose from many existing formats that all have their own issues. And that often guarantee you version conflicts and breaking changes in the future.

Also, when it comes to parallelization, it's hard to beat running many independent jobs in parallel. While computers are getting bigger, individual problems are often not, as the underlying biological problems remain the same. In the work I do, a reasonable target system had 32 cores and 256 GB memory in 2015. That's still a reasonable target in 2022. The computers I use have become cheaper and faster, but they have not really changed.
That's a generic AI. I would be very surprised you could get it to work accurately for games and hyper specific the heads of (possibly non-human)models. The box you see in the marketing material is completely useless for this use case. Besides how do you get the data to your standard second PC, scale the input the USB thing expects. Send it over USB and back, and then you have to send it to a custom mouse that receives the click command over bluetooth? I don't think 7ms just for the inference step is going to cut it.

A weekend project were you have to design an ultra low-latency software + hardware stack, a custom mouse and train a custom AI. I would be incredible if anyone manages this in a weekend.
Its not a problem but a fact of life. Symbiotic relationships are most commonly parasitic. It takes a lot of evolutionary fine tuning for a mutually beneficial system to emerge. Plenty of things have gone extinct over the course of life due to other species doing. Perhaps the worst event was the great oxygenation event, when photosynthetic life emerged and polluted the earth with oxygen to the point of mass extinction of the previously dominant anaerobic life forms.

We humans are no different than what came before. We are a parasite to most species we rely upon. We pollute the air to the point that it harms other species much like earlier forms of life have done. Solving this 'problem' for good will amount to an evolutionary change in our species. I say problem in quotes because its only a problem for humans and any of the current crop of species making up the biomass on earth who are harmed by our actions. Extinction exposes opportunities for other phenotypes or species to take advantage of the earths resources at least. One thing that is certain is that life on earth moves on as always.
I imagine that the OP probably has savings to fall back on (since they stress financial security), and more equity in the home than just the downpayment— not to mention that if they bought it not so recently (5-10 years back), the home value appreciation has likely been insane to still come out well ahead in even an 2008-esque crash, plus they could have refinanced at 2% fixed 30year rates in 2020-2021 drastically lowing their monthly payments even further, depending on how much equity they had.

Also, California just passed a law requiring minimum wage be $22 in some industries/companies of a certain size (and the next step will likely be rolling that out to all industries and companies, as they did with the $15 minimum wage between 2016-2020)

> But, as we take a bunch of small steps and gradually move back through the diffusion process...

...but, the question is, why can't we take a big step and be at the end in one step.

Obviously a series of small steps gets you there, but the question was why you need to take small steps.

I feel like this is just a 'intuitive explanation' that doesn't actually do anything other than rephrase the question; "You take a series of small steps to reduce the noise in each step and end up with a picture with no noise".

The real reason is that big steps result in worse results (1); the model was specifically designed to be a series of small steps because when you take big steps, you end up with over fitting, where the model just generates a few outputs from any input.

Flattening everything and then making it available through the 'verb' syntax is an absolute joy to work with, especially if you're doing time sensitive work or trying to debug a test setup.

The CLI flows like a language, and you find yourself guessing at new "phrases" that very often _don't_ summon demons and actually do what you expected. I like it so much, I emulate it whenever it makes sense to do so for my own CLI tools.

That’s an interesting idea, but I’m not sure people who have leaned game theory in an academic setting actually apply it to their lives. This would be evidence of ‘transfer of learning’, which is alarmingly uncommon. If the students did manage to benefit from learning game theory, I’d support it being added to the curriculum.

Complaining about printing money is like complaining about the internal combustion engine in an electric vehicle. This is especially annoying when what people are really asking for is a speed limit. But since everyone keeps talking about the wrong thing nothing will get done just like how an ICE mechanic isn't going to fix your EV.

> Java is an extremely mature piece of technology, and having used it on the enterprise, I can attest that few things come close on flexibility and stability.

Very much agreed, as long as you don't have to deal with legacy projects with Java 8 to Java 11 migration, which might sour the view of the language as a whole for some folks. I think Java doesn't get as much love nowadays due to some of the frameworks having to deal with historical baggage (e.g. Spring being unwieldy, which is at least partially why people prefer Spring Boot), though Java probably isn't the only language for which this is the case: https://earthly.dev/blog/brown-green-language/

That said, Java and .NET are both good options in my eyes - reasonably productive, with pretty decent type systems and good runtime performance. Not perfect, but almost always decent choices. Oh, and the runtimes themselves are pretty great, especially because we get languages like Kotlin, Scala for the JVM and F# for the CLR.

Then again, for different use cases I wouldn't scoff at Python, Ruby or Node either. Even something like PHP can be passable in some cases.
At this point we start moving into non-euclidean territory.

I never said that it was inflationary in the California case. I don't think it is. As to whether or not the state should send checks to everyone - I don't really know anything about it and so don't have a firm opinion. My intuition is that individuals will likely spend the money better than the state would have, so that's good, and it's probably an indication that taxes are too high if the state has a big surplus.

It has some advantages in that derivatives of the BSD networking code turns up all over the place, so it can be useful to know your way around it - and the Richard Stevens TCP/IP illustrated books are a very helpful guide.

But I wouldn’t deliberately specialize: get a job working with BSD or Linux, and learn by doing; but keep an eye on the other kernels to see how they do it, and to get a broader basis for your skills.

I like the idea of network, but also I have some negative feelings about HN/Redit.

The problem with the comments is that it is way to easy to go out of rails, then you need moderation and "karma" what I think is awful, because pushes everything to the uniformity of the "majority".

One idea (did not think it through, just a shoot in the blue): what if you can replay to other links, but you have to reply with a link? Yet one notch: you can replay positive or negative, that is a link in the same spirit/direction, or a link stating the opposite opinion.
It’s always been my impression that school history is more about indoctrination than any broadly applicable lesson. I took as much as I could in high school, and loved my teachers, but I’m not sure I learned anything I can apply outside the classroom.
Please don't refer to the "legislative branch" of the EU. The EU doesn't implement separation of powers like most governments do. Laws like this originate with, are passed by and are enforced by the Commission.

There is a so-called Parliament. It's more like the US House of Lords power-wise. It can slow down legislation or tweak it a bit. It can't actually change the law, which means it's not a Parliament.

There is a set of courts. You can appeal to them against the decisions of the Commission after the punishment is enacted. Unlike in normal democratic systems of government, the government doesn't have to prove guilt in a neutral court of law. They assert guilt, fine you a few billion dollars and then if you have enough money left over you can appeal in the courts. Years will pass and if you eventually win, you might get the money back. Of course the Commission might then just fine you again - the rules are vague and being in compliance essentially political. The courts also have a history of activism and 'discovering' new laws in the texts of existing laws.

The EU is structurally and philosophically a Soviet-style system, which makes sense given its origins in the Ventotene Manifesto. Like all such systems it has institutions that use the names as western democratic institutions, but on close inspection the rules are sufficiently different that they aren't effective.

"we have a society here and it demands concessions"

"Society" doesn't care about phone connectors or make demands. Governments do that. Survey the populations in EU countries and their top priorities are nowhere even close to this. They mostly care about the economy, immigration and climate change.
You could scrape and dissect the world, but that would just amplify existing conditions such as paranoid-schizophrenia.

He didn't say it's a good thing, nor that he approves, just that it is unsurprising that people (attempt to, and sometimes) cheat because cheating is a rational response.

It's just a different way of saying that when the measure of something becomes the target, then that measurement is gamed.

Would you also assume that Goodhart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law) prefers cops who issue illegitimate tickets, or lawyers who pad their hours?
I love the fact there are so many news about cheating in a sport/game. This suggests the world has no real problems.
I can’t help but feel like there’s far more people who do not need more than really simple calculus than people who do. Should we really disadvantage people by frustrating them with subjects almost useless for them just for the sake of the few who will need it? There could be other things to learn with as much or more interest for them. Calculus can be a good thing but we should stop to make mandatory for a lot of persons and refuse it to reconsider its use.
> The key question is how the radioactive I-131 gets into your body in the first place. I think its fallout, but I'm not sure. I mean, how could significant amounts of iodine enter your body? You'd have to breath a lot of radioactive dust, and at that point is your thyroid really your primary concern?

I-131 is a primary product of fission. With an 8 day half life it's intensely radioactive. And it bioaccumulates in the thyroid. Thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine contain iodine. So iodine is a trace nutrient, at 150ug/day.
> When you have tabular data where the fields can be reasonably understood as text, a simple TSV-based format often gets the job done. Especially if individual datasets are only tens of gigabytes.

In what other industry is less than 0.5% utilisation accepted as "gets the job done?"

TSV is a terrible format for multi-gigabyte files, because it uses line breaks.

Technically it's possible to parse them in parallel, but if the format enables quoted strings with newlines, then it isn't possible to do this safely.

A simple binary row-based or columnar format could be read orders of magnitude faster. No character-by-character processing needed, just "memcpy" and go.
