Two points:
1) This goes back to the assessment that "the object" is not "The Art", it is the totem that represents the cultural milestone of The Art's creation date and position in cultural time and location, and "The Art" is The Artist proclaiming a vision/perspective they share to others. This is part of the reasoning that allows extremely similar works of art to be designated as unique - they are milestones for different cultural points in history and different intellectual perspectives.

2) 40 years ago, I dated the daughter of a major art collector; he owned the entire collections of a few major artists. He commissioned Warhol do to a Jean Cocteau portrait. Girlfriend's dad expresses anger one day, as Warhol is weeks late on his commission. He takes he daughter with him to Warhol's studio to complain, and upon return expresses utter disgust with Warhol and his process. He returned with the portrait, Warhol made it in 15 minutes upon Dad's arrival and complaint, seemingly with zero forethought. A Cocteau series followed, but GF's Dad was completely uninterested in Warhol after that point, calling him "an advertiser".

IMO, Warhol's fame and artistic perspective is exactly like P.T. Barnum, Warhol simply proved “There's a sucker born every minute” is also true for serious fine art. And that transference of suckers existing in the world of Fine Art, transforming their "foolish art" into "Fine Art" is Warhol's Art.
A central component of a working *currency* is *consensus*.

Crypto has no realistic mechanism for achieving this. Allowing anyone to create their own currency is an absurd way to reach a *consensus*. Requiring the energy consumption of a small country to verify transactions is equally absurd logistically --- inadequately slow and expensive.

A good thing to come out of crypto --- it helped prod the Federal Reserve to update the antiquated banking system in the USA. By mid-2023, the Fed plans to nail the coffin shut on *legal* use of crypto as an actual *currency* --- and no it doesn't involve regulating crypto.

The point is, countering negative ideas with suppression does not work. Countering speech with more speech is better. Roger Baldwin, founder of the now gone-astray ACLU, may have put it best [1],

> Host: "What possible reason is there for giving civil liberties to people who will use those civil liberties in order to destroy the civil liberties of all the rest?"

> Roger: "That's a classic argument you know, that's what they said about the nazis and the communists, that if they got into power they'd suppress all the rest of us. Therefore, we'd suppress them first. We're going to use their methods before they can use it."

> "Well that is contrary to our experience. In a democratic society, if you let them all talk, even those who would deny civil liberties and would overthrow the government, that's the best way to prevent them from doing it."

Regarding your claim that this is only "faintly" related to free speech, you should know that Jonathan Haidt is very near to that issue.

It certainly made publishers put pressure on nvidia to block their games from its "stream your own steam library" service, because it gave them the idea they could get service exclusivity bonuses and full retail price for the privilege, something I doubt they'll roll back just because that model has failed for now
Completely agree.

In my early twenties I felt super bad about leaving my first ever corporate job for a step up in life.

My boss pulled me aside and said “Dwolb, once you walk out of here, the people here won’t care about you for more than 5 days let alone 5 minutes.”

Totally changed my perspective on work and work relationships.
>>> Start today: do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups and go run-walk for 20 minutes. Do that everyday, continuing to set goals. Rain or shine. Even when you feel sick, hungry, tired.

Can confirm - I did this but also with 100 squats and a 10k run daily.

All of my hair fell out from the exertion, but I feel invincible.
FWIW This ping/latency tool is a great tool and impressively terse, I've had to implement it myself several times the last 20 years for reasons. So I am glad someone actually shipped a tool for it.

It’s hard to stop caring about you’re work. It’s a part of you, you are creating something after all. And often at work it’s hard to let your coworkers down, because the job may be terrible but you like them. It’s wrapped up in our identity. Often when meeting someone new people ask “what do you do?” And the answer is work related.

You say you stopped caring, but you are still stressing. You should look at that a bit.

Other advice here seems solid, other activities will make work seem like what it is, exchanging your time for money.

Part of it is it takes time to adjust. I went from a place where we tried to make software really perfect, to a start up I reported a bug and the CEO told me not to fix it. (In our meeting he assigned it low priority. He said he could see it was bothering me but reiterated to leave it be. He was right, but it hard for me not to care.
The "average" gamer/consumer doesn't want to fuss with any special gamer hardware or upgrading PCs. They may not even know what a GPU is. And they probably accept that there are lots of things that they can't do with bad internet most of which they care about a lot more than games.

The idea of Stadia made a lot of sense to me when I first heard of it. I guess the implementation wasn't very good though.

I see. I disagree with that opinion, too. Where would you draw the line between "unimportant" and "important" - therefore, between prices that should and should not be (allowed to be) maximized for the sake of profit?

Food, water and shelter is obvious. Is there anything else you consider important except those three? If not, would you be willing to live a life where the only things available to you are food, water and shelter - i.e. a life of a prison inmate, or a labour slave?
Geez, being forced to talk to people, to lie and persuade and scam them of their money seems very grim for the soul.
Asset voting gives no guarantees whatsoever without extensive set of assumptions unless one candidate gets single majority.

Most of these systems can be made better with multi-member districts. At this point D'Hondt-method is tried an true. The US could use Jefferson method (invented Thomas Jefferson) because "Murica" but it gives the same result :)

I agree with you, that the most important thing is to implement some change, not strive to fix everything at once. Once voting methods change, politics change and other changes can become easier.

Don't stop caring as such. Try to get closer with the people you like and I guarantee there is a circle of people like you with a private whatsapp/whatever channel trying to survive. It will instantly turn your life for the better. If there is not such thing yet (hard to believe) start one with just one more person you think can be on your side. Chat, gossip all the day every day. And then - stop caring ))
You need to decrease your productivity during the work day. Various strategies are to finish the work day in the early afternoon after lunch, stop once you've solved the problem of the day, go for a walk before knocking off time, things like that. You want to create a barrier between your real life and work life such that problems don't exit the building with you.

I'm a big believer in reducing productivity if you've been at a place for a while, especially if they ain't giving you a pay raise. Missed deadlines and missed meetings start to create a pattern that they can't take you for granted.
I'm really curious: do people consider common lisp to be the go-to lisp today?

> Any YouTube game video could have a button for 'play instantly, one click' that loaded an already running Stadia session into a game-state with the player in a fun spot.

I think the tech that this feature requires would be a huge thing for computing in general. Easy, lightweight state-saves for any program. Quick hibernation for any game. Imagine how much easier the Windows update problem would be if users knew they could open everything as it was before in a few seconds.
I consider myself quite technically minded and interested in the workings of machines. I had not considered what was inside a steam engine's boiler before, nor what one would look like after an explosion. The pictures are indeed bizarre, looking almost like entrails hanging out in many cases. I find them even a bit creepy.

So for me, and likely most others, the title is not clickbaity and the content is not what one might expect.
There are a lot of responses that critique the intensity here which is fair but I think the spirit of the comment is right on.

Even if it’s not exercise specifically. Find something else you can care about!

I’ve had this problem my entire career. I’m over invested in my work even when I don’t want to be and I can’t stop thinking about work (sometimes big things and some times minutiae) and it invaded my sleep. I’ve recently started a few activities that I believe are helping me separate from my work (and sleep at night). Here’s what I’m doing…

1) Exercising to a level I’m comfortable. For me that’s running a few miles a day and incorporating kettlebells, weights or med balls into my morning workout.

2) Reading books and simple puzzles like word search. I wanted to find an alternative to phone and social media - I think too much of that stuff sucks for mental well-being. Currently I’m reading Plato’s The Republic.

3) I started volunteering at my church. Churches and local institutions are suffering right now from lack of participation and have legit challenges to apply yourself to. So far this hasn’t kept me up at night or interrupted my sleep.

So I think the combined effect of these changes is that I’m out of my own head and applying myself to doing things other than using my personal time to marinate in my professional life. Oh and I’m no longer waking up at 3am every night unable to fall back to sleep.

No, the correct answer to this is "provide free/subsidised schooling to exceptional people who cannot otherwise afford it".

By the way, this is the meritocratic way because we're looking for best people, which includes identifying unrealized talent and then nurturing it.

Instead, the SJW/woke way is "reduce standards until everybody passes", literally

Despite your emphasis, I don't find that anything has been "obvious" or "proven" about these pieces. The fact of the ongoing lawsuit implies it's not definitive for the authorities involved either.

If you see it so clearly, it's because you're uninformed about or otherwise disrespectful to the actual social norms/rules at play.

The main thing that helped me let go a bit was meditation, but it doesn't work for everyone. I used to have Generalised Anxiety Disorder, literally a constant sense of both perpetual dread about nothing in particular and perpetual worry about lots of things in my life, and also I had social anxiety. Meditation, somehow, got rid of both. I still have depression though, which seems far harder to fix.

It sounds kind of stupid, but the thing that really let me know that my anxiety was gone was when I realised I could smoke a lot of weed without any anxiety, which before would have been ridiculous, since I always panicked at the bodily sensations. Of course, meditation helps you learn to accept with equanimity a wider range of sensations that come up. Again, it did not help with my depression as much though.
Yes, what you describe is the Golden Gaze problem (related to golden touch of the King Midas). There are several techniques mentioned in the article to mitigate the problem. Combination of gaze and hand gestures (and voice) seems like the most efficient and natural.

Foveated rendering is also interesting, but that is pretty straightforward application of gaze contingency.
> censoring and punching Nazis did not stop their rise.

Precisely. Nadine Strossen, president of the ACLU board from 1991-2008, argues that censorship helped the Nazis [1]

> "In the Weimar Republic there were laws very similar to the anti hate speech laws that still exist in Germany today. And they were very strictly enforced, there was an umbrella of Jewish organizations in the Weimar Republic, the head of which did a study. They said that these laws are by and large being strictly enforced, the prosecutions are being capably handled, there were many convictions, including of Nazis, and the Nazis loved the propaganda. They got far more attention than they otherwise would have, became free speech martyrs, actually had posters saying, 'In all of Germany why is this one man silenced?' They gained sympathy and attention that they otherwise never would have."

It's a matter of principle. And once the VM's are created, they don't add much overhead.
On the other hand modern batteries for mirrorless have twice or more the shooting time of batteries for DSLRs when they dominated the market (manufacturers paid special attention to this to improve video times).

I'd say for photography, it's beyond what most would care about anyway, you can go shoot 300-400 pictures all day and not have to recharge. And if you need to shoot longer, you could carry a pound or less battery in your pocket.

The weight will be offset by the much smaller weights of mirrorless cameras and mirrorless camera lenses - as the former don't need to carry a prism mechanism, and the latter can be made smaller and closer to the sensor area.
My only advice if you can't stop seeing things as wrong is to broaden your perspective a little bit. Everything is wrong really and most people really do try their best given the circumstances. What seem like stupid decisions are usually just constraints that are poorly communicated.
Yeah, on one hand "large protests", on the other, more than 70% of Germans are for continued help to Ukraine despite gas shortage.
It's very case-by-case if a rewrite makes sense or not. For a greenfield project you'll have a whole different experience and it's more of a no-brainer, moreso the less you depend on un(der)typed frameworks.
> Emacs is not an independent project, and it isn't governed by its contributors. I'm the head of the GNU Project, and that includes Emacs.

Honestly adore this attitude and wish more devs had the self-assuredness to run their projects this way. Assured not only in the their vision but in their ability to have a vision.

When that’s missing it becomes really easy to write software that creates tedium instead of freeing us from it. There’s even a word for when a project’s vision is to avoid vision. The one word in a readme that fills me with more dread than any other — “unopinionated”.

Translation: “Here, you make all the decisions, because the only way I know to avoid having any Wrong Opinions at this scale is to have none”. If the concept of “unopinionated software” had a favorite color it would be “What’s yours?”
It died because it solved the problem nobody really had. It's Startup 101.

Who said hardware is the problem? Modern consoles are relatively cheap, especially considering modern $60 price tags on games. So why Stadia tried to solve that?

I'm sure Google has a lot of brilliant engineers who can build a state-of-the-art streaming platform that can leverage existing Google cloud infrastructure. But that's all it is - a brilliant piece of technology nobody really needs. And not that innovative as well - I've met a bunch of game streaming startups back at Jan 2016 CES, something like two years prior the launch of Stadia, so the idea has been around for quite a while.

Hardcore gamers are buying a lot of overpriced gaming gear all the time. I can't see how people spending thousands of $ on tuned hardware suddenly would want to change all that on a faceless streaming platform. Ownership and belonging is a big part of that subculture.

Stadia could make sense for a casual gamer who doesn't want to invest into expensive hardware. But games a casual player plays are not GPU-heavy and work fine on any relatively modern platform.

Too basic for a hardcore gamer, too powerful and demanding for a casual one. The Stadia's fate was sealed.
Doing a cute name can work for a project that are public but when it is private and you don't have a good way to search for projects or even understanding why you would need the project it really confuses people.

Naming versions is worse for Ubuntu because I can't remember what the two letter phrase is. But, a single word I can somewhat remember (macOS uses a single word).
I'm not 100% sure but isn't it about focusing more on customer value instead of churning out features no one uses? So in summary:

- Output: what you produce, the features, bugfixes, documentation whatever

- Outcome: the actual value for the stakeholders. You could build one hugely important feature which would make the stakeholders love you but the output is still just 1.
It’s an insightful critique that a mandated statement does force many academics to lie.

This is by grasping at straws trying to find a relationship between their decades-long research thrust and a shiny new requirement popular among the administrative class that is now in charge.

Unless Andy Warhol’s genetically sequenced AI brain is actively making decisions for his estate, I’m not sure this is relevant to the question of what Andy Warhol himself would’ve done.
the fact that an article taking Warhol’s side omits the actual pictures is telling
While you could say a drug is "LSD-like" because one of the many receptors it targets is also targeted by LSD, that would be more akin to saying a keyboard is "hard-drive-like" because they both plug into a computer.

Biology is extremely complex, and even drugs that have similar receptor binding profiles can have very different effects.

Most drugs will have action across a wide range of receptors. There are a multitude of drugs that target the 5-HT2A receptor, including the most common antidepressants and antipsychotics, for example.
Ask HN: Why doesn't anisotropic filtering integrate over trapezoid?
Hi, I'm just starting to learn the basics of graphics.

From what little have read so far, it seems that the issue of texture filtering is essentially a matter of Moire patterns arising from zero-fillfactor sampler when the ground-truth should be an integration over the projected area. (Moire pattern occur when the fillfactor of the kernel is less that unity, the generalized Sampling Limit is beholden to the spatial frequency of the "gaps" rather than the actual sample interval)

Since a square pixel generally projects a trapizoid onto the texture surface, it takes only four points to determine the list of texels being integrated within that trapizoid (Think Starcraft 2's minimap frame), in which case we could simply reverse-rasterize it into a "texel fragment" that is the union between the trapizoid-footprint and polygon boundary, and just average up the values.

Why then do anisotropic filtering need to send out multiple probes, when four would suffice and the resulting fragment is contiguous data anyways? It seems like all these extra complexity arise simply working with the texel-aligned grid rather than the pixel-projected coordinates?
Though Xicrosofter returns none.
