This Show HN cost me around 150 € via the API so far and I had 3 orders, so I guess this will be more of a cost center :D

Generally public officials in countries with fair elections are an order of magnitude better than public officials in countries without fair elections. For example, compare Bush II with Ahmadinejad.

> Doesn't seem to stop people from electing horrible sheriffs time and again.

There are some problems with the current election system in the US in that many potential voters don't register to vote to not get summoned for jury duty and similar issues, while lots of police vote in blocks guided by powerful police unions. These problems can be fixed, and overall the US election system is better than in countries like Russia.

> Is your comment satire?

Even US politicians who are massively disliked are way better than their counterparts in countries without fair elections. Furthermore, these massively-disliked politicians get voted out at the end of term if a better politician runs against them. And even if they don't get voted out, they have to leave eventually due to hard term limits.

I'm not saying that democratic elections with term limits for police will keep absolutely all bad people out of police, but what I am saying is that there will be an order of magnitude less bad people in the police, and they will also be an order of magnitude less bad than under the current traditional employment scheme.
There is precedent for nuclear powers losing wars in the sense of them having to withdrawal from quagmires without accomplishing their initial objectives.
The joke, for anyone else here who isn't a book nerd (my wife is), is that now whenever an old author dies with unfinished work, or hasn't finished their work (that's you, George!) people make a joke "Just let Brandon Sanderson finish it!" because Mr. Sanderson is an absolute writing beast, he's a "100x writer" if there ever was one and he is working on (or finished?) a book series[0] by a now-dead author and most people think he made it better.

This is the perfect level of description, thank you. Looking forward to checking out more of your work.
I couldn't figure out what software is being developed to pass the sqllogittest suite here. Will this be a SQLite-like database or SQL parser implemented Zig?
I don't get your argument, something tells me we are talking past each other..

If you are using a model from Raspberry from which they have a margin (essentially all the things on the Compute Module line), that's fine by me, it's great that the foundation can use that as an income stream.

I feel very differently when you use models that are obviously sold at a loss to pad the margins on your product.
Interesting idea, might consider to have it as an option. Thanks!

Dismissing things as a "crazy conspiracy theory" adds nothing.

All indicators point to a lab leak. The project was called DEFUSE, proposed in 2018, it was led by Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance and funded by the NIH.

Nope. It just means that we have to force our politicians into reviving proper (pre-Bork) anti-trust. This existed once, so it is possible.

> Well if you live long enough you're basically guaranteed dementia

Not true; I'm sure there is a relationship between age and prevalence of dementia, but it's far from a guarantee.

I've known too many centennials of surprisingly sound mind, and they eventually start having falls and the body can't heal sufficiently to fully recover.

Once the dementia sets in, though, that's another story. The aging process seems to advance quicker when dementia is present.
Very good points. The proprietary test suite is clearly the (open) secret to SQLite's success. It seems to me that it isn't even entirely accurate to describe SQLite as written in C when the vast majority of its code is probably written in TCL that none of us have seen. It's more like C is just how they represent the virtual machine which is described and specified by its tests. The virtual machine exists outside of any particular programming language but C is the most convenient implementation language to meet their cross platform distribution goals.

If someone did want to carve into SQLite's embedded db monopoly, it would take years to develop a comparable test suite. This seems possible, particularly if they develop a more expressive language for expressing the solutions to the types of problems that we use SQLite for. Who would fund this work though when SQLite works as well as it does?
In video footage that shows a lot of other officers, you can see if they're wearing BWCs. When there's an Officer Involved Shooting, all cops in the area are going to rush to the spot (as the shooting officer should have been in danger), so you should be able to see a lot of officers wearing BWCs.

I don't know if LAPD releases much of that BWC footage in unedited form, but where I live (Chicago), a civilian oversight board reviews use-of-force incidents and makes BWC footage and other materials public [0], and in my experience as a homicide researcher for UChicago, officers were initially skeptical of BWCs, but now they consider them a valuable piece of personal protective equipment, as they are often exonerated by their BWC footage.

This is fixed in C++23 by adding explicit object parameters to the member function (and lambda) syntax:

[x](this auto) -> future<T> {
co_await something();
co_return x;
}

The lambda capture is copied into the coroutine frame on launch, meaning that it won't dangle.
> That all said it demonstrates the issues with a lot of new c++ features, in that even today new features are added without real thought to memory safety

I would go much further than that and claim that there are new C++ features added without real thought to other features. The C++ feature list is so incredibly vast that language maintainers / spec writers would need to know every little intricacy of other features to assert that a combination would still produce correct output.

He's one of the first developer bloggers. He wrote a load of famous articles, the echos of which you'll have been exposed to even if you've never read them.

His first set were from his time at Amazon: https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/blog-rants

He then wrote a load of later ones when at Google: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/index.html

And, yes, the (in)famous platforms rant.

While the blogs range widely, a major overarching theme was static vs dynamic typing.

Basically everything he wrote is worth reading; and definitely a thousand times more that whatever's on the HN front page these days.
I went through my credit card statement this month and am cancelling a bunch of things I barely use. The mess of subscriptions most of us are forced into is getting absolutely insane and the "software makers need to do this to be able to eat!" excuses I see here are just silly.

I don't want my card dinged every month. I don't want to "manage" dozens of different subscriptions across different companies that all have different systems and methods for managing your "relationship" with them.

There are cool things you can do with a smarthome, like let a friend into your house remotely, but those aren't the selling features.

The selling features are the boring things. Like connecting a light switch to a lightbulb without having to pull wires through external walls. Or instead of waking up to an annoying alarm clock wake up to your blinds opening.
Something being "more recent" doesn't necessarily make it better :-)

> What I have said, over and over again, is using round count as some sort of point is very misguided.

You have said that over and over again. You aren't supporting that point in any way though, you're just saying it over and over.

You seem to think that "police training" or "firearms training 101" or whatever is a fundamental, unchangable law of the universe. "Of course they shot at a random bystander 107 times, gravity is 9.8m/s^2, what do you expect?"

In reality this "training" was developed by psychopaths who want to ensure that cops are held to a different set of standards than the rest of us unwashed masses. It's not a natural rule of the universe! It can be questioned and changed!

Imagine if after the single "jumpy" cop took one shot the other cops said "hey knock that off, there's no threat here." That seems to be wholly against this precious training you're willing to go to the mat for, but I'm expected to believe it would be a worse outcome than shooting innocent bystanders 107 times? Get the boot out of your mouth.

Exactly. The "win" for shareholders here is that Musk has damaged their asset over the last few months (in terms of reputation and taking cash off the balance sheet in legal fees) but he will still purchase it at the originally agreed upon price.
> White savior complex is used to describe people who try and solve problems for people they pity.

> I’m not trying to solve any problems for any groups I’m not part of. What I am is an ally who strives to understand the realities experienced by marginalized groups and I am willing ...

A large part of the problem is calling it a racial problem. You're declaring yourself an ally to a racial group which means that the problem then has to be universal amongst your concept of that racial group. If a black person testifies that this isn't a universal race-based problem they aren't listened to (as tautological proof of their statement) but instead lambasted as having internalized white-supremacy or whatever.

Also, 'ally' is a pretentious term in this context. Ally generally means peers who support each other not a paternalistic protector but BLM showed that this isn't how it was being used in a social justice setting. There's a video from Portland during BLM of a black resident trying to talk to a black officer and a white Antifa runs between and starts shrieking at them because it would destroy the narrative if we could simply discuss our problems calmly.

It quickly starts to look like using marginalized people as props in a fight against your political enemies more than actually trying to help them.
I use this project by Don Melton to get a Blu-ray video down to an 8 - 10 GB file size: https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding

It uses HandBrake, FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, and MP4v2 with some custom tuned settings and has really good results from my experience.

That adapter acts like usb host IIRC. So does your computer. Connecting two hosts with a A-to-A cable is not going to do anything good (and might cause harm). This is why A-to-A cables aren't supposed to exist as per usb spec.
A one-to-one mapping between standard plugs and standard wall power makes a lot of sense. But different standards of wall power should not share a single plug; that's just asking for trouble.

As for global standardization of wall power; maybe in an ideal world. But in reality, it would cost a ton (way more than merely replacing plugs and outlets) and doesn't seem worth it.
> I am trying very hard to imagine any other higher level language where two distinct features, each used correctly in their own way, can not be safely combined. The only thing that comes to mind are python's default parameters and passing an empty list as one.

And even then it's not a bug per-se, at best a misfeature (it can be useful as a performance hack although the performance improvements of global and builtins lookups of 3.11 might finally put that to rest).

DRM-free video should be a thing. Buy and save the file - that's it. If you don't have the file you can back up, it's a scam and not buying.

GOG tried to introduce that, but legacy film industry is too obsessed with DRM for all its usual wrong reasons so that didn't work out.

> even then must fire a warning shot before they can engage

Calling BS on this story, sorry. No one in this world is training to fire a "warning shot". That is from the movies - full stop.

A "warning shot" - where do you fire it? Into the road so it can ricochet and kill an innocent onlooker? Into the air so it can do the same? Into a building with an unknown backstop? This is beyond absurd.

Eh, u/glommer is calling it libSQL, not anything with "SQLite" in the name, so I wouldn't assume that u/glommer wants the trademark. But u/glommer does want some of SQLite's reputation to attach to libSQL -- that's going to be an uphill battle.

I’m going to pile on, but it’s important that it’s part of the copyright discussion:

Current copyright is dramatically limiting culture and cultural growth.

Any artist now needs to make sure that they are not inadvertently copying anything from their entire lifetime, and that of their parents.

It’s rarely good enough that an artist shows that they had never been exposed to a previous work, and so now I see artists taking one of two paths: 1) working in secret, trying desperately to thread the needle between making a living creating and losing it all by being discovered. 2) Forgoing the idea of true creative expression altogether, and limiting themselves to samples that they can pay for up front.

Today? Yeah, it is. But the previous claim was that freedom of speech was some kind of essential, enduring feature of "the west". But Europe's (and its colonies') history in that regard is actually a patchwork of freedom and oppression — but mostly oppression, much like the rest of the world. Europe's trend over the past couple of hundred years has been good regarding political and religious speech, but I wouldn't base any sweeping conclusions about long-term cultural differences on that.
In places like Russia, those words are very dangerous, and could get you jailed or sent to the front. Even calling it a "war" was/is a punishable offense.

So, yes, words, but the potential consequences of these words have more significance than empty air.

Qualafied immunity is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy. People who advocate for its elimination only know about it from the negative context and don't fully understand its value.

For example say a rich person murders their partner. The cops show up and the killer says "if you arrest me I will drag all of you into court personally for years to come and bankrupt your families." Without QI the officers need to make a decision if justice is worth the risk of personal loss.

Or if a rich person wants to build a new deck which is denied a permit, QI is what prevents them from personally dragging everyone involved to court personally.

QI does not eliminate personal liability when a crime has been committed. If an officer shoots someone and is charged criminally, they can then be sued personally.
Doesn't really make sense to me. Since when has he ever cared about criticism? He had a binding merger agreement. He didn't have to do any 4-d chess to buy twitter. What establishment? What makes you think they were gearing up for a fight? They agreed to sell him Twitter

Initially the Twitter board didn't want him to buy twitter, but he made a big offer and they were forced to take it. He had already "won" by then. If anything all this stuff since has damaged the value of twitter, which he now owns.
That would be very expensive, and would require extensive funding, and would take years to complete.

The authors take pains to point out that alcohol is still definitely bad for you overall, and they also point out that heavy alcohol use is known to cause dementia. I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that this is a statistic artifact, and even if it isn't you still shouldn't start drinking.

>While light to moderate alcohol use may reduce dementia risk, even low levels of alcohol use have been associated with reduced brain volume, grey matter atrophy and increased white matter hyperintensities [5, 44, 45], indicating that alcohol use is unlikely to be directly neuroprotective. In addition, light-to-moderate alcohol use has been associated with other health conditions, including some cancers [46], cautioning against recommending the commencement of alcohol use in those who abstain.

>There is evidence from other sources, such as hospital-based studies, which indicate that heavy alcohol use and alcohol use disorders are strongly and causally associated with dementia (particularly young onset dementia) [7], as well as neurocognitive diseases where alcohol use is a contributing or necessary factor (i.e. alcohol-related dementia and Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome) [8].
If it helps you to understand at all, assuming you have a CS background, any time you see the word "tensor" you can replace it with "array" and you'll be 95% of the way to understanding it. Or "matrix" if you have a mathematical background.

Whereas CS arrays tend to be 1 dimensional, and sometimes 2 dimensional, tensors can be as many dimensions as you need. A 256x256 photo with RGB channels would be stored as a [256 x 256 x 3] tensor/array. If you want to store a bunch of them? Add a dimension to store each image. Want rows and columns of images? Make the dimensions [width x height x channels x rows x columns].
> The Fed is a creature of Congress, which is to say that Congress completely controls the Fed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "critical incident videos" have a 1:1 relationship with critical incidents, not with body cam videos. Every critical incident has a video. Even if there's no body cam video of the actual shooting, police are still obligated to produce a video containing 911 calls, radio calls, body cams from responding officers, etc.

I do not know of a "critical incident" that doesn't have a corresponding video (except for deaths in prisons and negligent discharges that don't result in injury). If there's no actual media to go with it, they'll still show a talking head reading a statement listing off the address and police version of the narrative (you can see examples if you look at LASD, since they've halfassed their body cam deployment). I'm curious to hear if you know of any exceptions (excluding events within the last 45 days or so, before the deadline).

LAPD releases a list of all of the critical incidents and the videos, so should be easy to cross reference and see if anything is missing.
> also have [cops] be subjected to term limits just like politicians

Why would we want cops to have less experience on average?
> Are there not corrupt politicians?

There are, but there are a lot less of them in countries with fair democratic elections, and those who are corrupt are on average a lot milder than in countries without fair democratic elections. On average we're talking theft vs murder / genocide.
There are tons, and the new page is fickle to the point that good stories often don’t get placed and the moderators here invite them back to try again. Here should definitely not be your only source for news.
Body camera systems are not sold to police departments as devices that are meant to keep cops honest, they're sold to police departments as devices that will keep the lying public honest and thus keep cops out of court and prison.

They're meant for cops to turn them on when they feel like they need evidence against whoever they're detaining, arresting or otherwise dealing with.

In this case, video surveillance was working as intended.
