"Why are you adding barcodes to stamps?"

"The move is part of the Company’s extensive and ongoing modernisation drive and will allow the unique barcodes to facilitate operational efficiencies, enable the introduction of added security features and pave the way for innovative services for customers."

Guess with tri-graph elimination & awk getting unicode support will have to gawk C with cpp using pipology theory.

But think the cpp has to go away first, after enough sed.

Interesting to me that it includes Python 2 support. I guess some things never die.
It is possible that the lower CPU time scanning barcodes vs scanning color images and detecting the stamp is a big enough optimization to be worth it at scale.

How to Remember the Math You Learn (Math Sorcerer) [video]
Another really common one is that casting from void * to any other type doesn't require a cast in C, but it does in C++:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
int *foo = malloc(sizeof(int));
return 0;
}

That works in C, but not in C++.

There's actually another subtle different in there that main() means "unspecified arguments" in C, and "no arguments" in C++. ("No arguments" in C would be main(void).) However, it's no longer commonly used that way in C, but casts from void * to other types is very common in C.
Well I m in China myself so unlike the person you re replying to, it's not just a bias but my entire life depending on not invading Taiwan. Nobody here or in other cities I know wants to invade Taiwan: people think it's already Chinese anyway, and it's just a political disagreement (ofc in TW they think otherwise and I agree with them to an extent: they re a country but they built all their identity on being "the true China").

Our dependency on the US, but also Japan, India, the EU and to some extent the rest of the world is bound to force us to keep a slow grind rather than blatant violence. At least outside of China.

I know Russia disproved the theory: they were dependent on the EU and fuck it all up anyway but... Russia then proceeded to prove the disaster it is for the country, the people and even the war: you cant win territory easily by murdering blindly left and right your commercial partners and your cultural cousins and unlike what some may believe, even some past expansion had to be based on mutual interest to last.
In an ideal scenario, you're right. This is not that. It's a good question to ask.

Interesting it takes so long for a low 10% of it to move to other countries.

This could mostly be a matter of politics though.
It’s not so much about face saving as it is about maintaining some form a transition path to a more peaceful state. And to understand what path might be an option one has to have some forum of frank discussion - likely not with the leaders themselves but with high enough level people from both sides that they are at high enough level to see the lay of land.

I don’t know why you put image and imagination in the same place. It is different. Imagination is the result of thinking. Image is the result of action.
We can imagine killing people. Nobody harmed. But killing people in real life?
You're right of course.

However, I think it's more dangerous on sites like HN where it's wrapped up in this illusion of rationalism, intelligence and elitism along with HN reputation for a "higher level of discourse" which makes people more likely to believe.

Turns out HN falls prey to all the same human biases as everywhere else.

A quick way to see it in action is find a thread about something you know deeply and read the comments.
If people believe you (not even everyone, but the right people at the right time) then you have done harm to Rick.
Awesome, the FCC has finally decided to stop helping scammers to call me.

I did not know they were helping scammers to call me in the first place.
No, that is in Santa Barbara. Same university system though, just two hours north.
I, too, learned C by reading K&R cover to cover and solving all the exercises (in front of a Sun 3/160 running SunOS 3.5-ish). Even then back in those ancient days, it was obvious trigraphs were evil and should have been abolished to a special place in hell.

> They're also multithreaded by default, the reporting is OK, doctests of doc-comments are on and enabled by default

A caveat here - doctests end up compiled into a separate binary for every test. I tried turning my unit tests into doctests, because they felt more natural there, but test iteration time went from 0.02 seconds to 14 seconds :(
So the question for GP would be: we’re they not aware of this investment package? Or were they aware of it and take it for granted? Or were they aware of it but consider it not enough?

this is an unamerican opinion on hn so I don't expect it to be popular but I would imagine this is a proactive effort by Apple in light of recent and persistent American brinkmanship over China in general. first huawei, then trump, then tiktok, now Taiwan. apple can explain away suicide nets and child labor, but geopolitical turmoil is risk to the shareholder.
Yeah I've had caps explode on me before, but nothing that could possibly cause this kind of harm. I think you're possibly closer to the mark with a gas leak.
This thread is cathartic. I've been feeling uncomfortable with the level of control being sought over the usage of these tools for a while, but didn't want to ruffle the wrong feathers while just getting into AI as a hobby. I think there will be a pretty short window in which all of this hand-waving will be taken seriously. Not because AI won't be used for terrible things (I'm sure it already is) but because consumer hardware can already be used to build a dataset and train a model, and eventually there will come a realization - it doesn't matter how ethicists want "the general public" to use AI. The general public is fully capable of figuring out on their own how to do whatever they feel like doing. It's like a compiler or a hammer or a car, all of which can be used for positive or negative purposes.

I do understand the fear of being sued or targeted in the media over misuse, though. The person misusing technology should (obviously imo) be held responsible for that, but since it's new tech, the tech will be taking the blame for the first really controversial cases of disinfo and/or harassment that utilize it.

That’s part of it.

And yes Russia use twisted pretenses about nato and nazis as boogeyman quite a lot and it works wonders judging by the way this thread is going.
This rhetoric is the reason why we're in the situation we're in now.

China doesn't care for niceties, they will fleece everyone for all they are worth at the first and every opportunity to advance their own agenda which is very clearly not aligned with western interests.

Put another way, you know who's funding the Chinese military? We (the west) are. We are funding the very regime who would sooner see us dead than alive. There is no room for the west in their One China vision.
Thanks (I haven't seen this despite lurking on HN for 'a long time' and interacting with it recently, however, you clearly didn't quote the doc, which says Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.)

Has it been evaluated whether any real-life evacuations were time sensitive enough to where a wide bodied plane would have resulted in more deaths? Doesn't seem like a real problem intuitively, but I don't really have any data to back that up.
I'm not personally, but there was a near-universal meltdown as soon as the sale to Adobe was announced with people scrambling about to find alternatives. I agree that Figma was highly successful and achieved its goals.

> There's a reason they didn't. They tried and they couldn't do it.

Time, mindshare, and brand. They could absolutely do it (all of their apps are insanely complex), but it's far faster to cut a check and wipe out your primary competitor and eliminate the cash flow leak (which based on that number, they estimated would be greater than their purchase price for Figma).
1. A fusion plant would be extremely expensive to build. The most optimistic estimates are 10x per GW vs. fission. But we really don't know how to build one; nobody has identified a material that would work.

2. It is extremely expensive to operate. The most optimistic estimates are >10x fission. A thousand tons of lithium "blanket" would have to be sifted daily to get a few grams of tritium for the next day's operation. Nobody knows how this could be done.

3. It destroys itself with neutron irradiation in only a few years. At best, major parts of the structure would have to be replaced using robots because of the extreme radiation in the parts being replaced. Similarly, for repairs. Nobody has built such robots, so they are custom one-offs.

The fuel cost of fission is a negligible part of its cost. The fuel cost of a fusion plant would be negligible, assuming enough tritium could be obtained at all. The ITER project expects to run out and does not know where they will get enough for future experimentation.

Nothing about fusion is free, or even affordable.

Define “social media” first. If we’re going for media that have a social component, Minecraft is one.

If you are diligent in telling every single one of them “take me off your call list“ it does make a difference.

I started receiving spam calls again (after a very long time without a single one) because one of the weasels I had to deal with to buy a house apparently sold my information. I ignored them for a while, mostly because they call when I’m sleeping during the day, but then started answering to get off the lists and haven’t had one in a while. Seems like one company is responsible for the bulk of them and once you get off their list things get significantly better.

All of which I shouldn’t have to do because I’m on the (completely worthless) do not call list.
The key is come up with something, then stick to it. Too many people spend months or years chasing perfection that doesn't exist.

And sort of the opposite of that, I once had someone say they wanted to contribute to the C++ portion of our codebase, but the only problem was they didn't know how to make the "->" character, and did they need to get a special keyboard?

Thanks. I code in python and Haskell 98% of the time. So I don’t know how math works. I guess it’s time to learn math, sadly my highest math is discrete mathematics. I have no idea what the hell I was doing. It’s all gibberish for a grade.

I’m Glad every equation i type into python or Haskell. I just get an answer.

I guess all these years has been leading me to read a math book. You better have some pretty pictures and cartoons like Haskell and python has for beginners.

It’s just another textbook if you google version 3. Don’t waste your time. There are no simple straightforward explanations. This is just another academia person flexing.
Do they do all those evacuation tests with able-bodied volunteers? How would they evacuate for example five wheelchair users within the 90 seconds or whatever is required for the test?
uh wow. It goes without saying that you should know what the commands do before you run them and should not ask for help and then be hostile when people offer to help.

The things I wish I knew as a beginner freelancer
I believe you misunderstood my post. (Or I have misunderstood yours) I was not arguing that the models should not be released. I was pointing out that the statement that no harm has been done with them was false, and that even though that is the case it is probably better for society, on the whole, for them to be open.

We can both admit that the tools can and will be used for bad purposes, and come to the conclusion that their benefits outweigh the negatives. We would not be doing any favors to our own arguments by pretending otherwise.
Image is not the result of action, it's the projection of imagination into the physical world.

In your example, the correct parallel isn't killing people in real life, it's making an image of killing people. The ethics of making such images are debatable, but they already permeate our society without AI.

SHOWRUNNER | Senior JavaScript, Fullstack, & Unreal Engineers | REMOTE (US Eastern Time ±3) | Full-time | $120-$200k & Equity | https://showrunner.tech/

We're building technology to power the future of film & TV production. Our software tackles interesting problems for real users with solutions at the intersection of IoT, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and software-hardware Tool & API integrations.

Primary technologies today are TypeScript + React, and C++ for Unreal development. We use best-in-class tools to build best-in-class tools, and have a fun team invested in each other's growth and success. We're still early, so those who join will be able to help shape the company culture and product.

About the company: SHOWRUNNER connects devices around a film set so that you can run it more like a smart home. In particular, we make it easy to do high-tech filmmaking, like using LED video walls as virtual backgrounds.

We raised seed capital earlier this year, have our first few clients, and are aggressively growing the team to help build our product for our initial clients and partners. We're building a team of diverse talent and backgrounds to help us tackle the wide array of problems we're solving.

In addition to Fullstack Engineers, we're also hiring: - Forward Deployed Engineer - Unreal Engine Engineer - UI Designer

And more! If any of this interesting to you, fill out the form here: https://showrunner.tech/jobs#openings
I've got several small enough projects that would benefit from an automated sort of logging: ALL impure function calls and their outputs are logged, and then (almost?) everything else about program execution (i.e. all other function calls and parameters passed to them) can be deduced from that. I've seen similar solutions being called "time-travel debugging", but I haven't found anything that's just "plug-and-play" for any major language. Any recommendations?
Might not be the most straightforward way, but not so far fetched either. I personally got interesting by writing small programs on a HP48, I’d imagine people getting hooked either from small algorithmic games, or writing shortcuts/automations.

1) because you are Christian ...

2) do you consider how Jewish people feel, who were prosecuted, discriminated and killed by Christians, when you refer to Judeo-Christian traditional values? The early massacres in Europe on Jewish people were mostly done by Christians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism
As I said, my Jewish friends get quite rattled and angry if somebody uses the term.

3) For one: religious tolerance: when other religions fought religious wars, Islamic countries were the first who tolerated other Abrahamic religions.

Also the impact of Islam and Muslims on philosophy is enormous. For example, we would have lost most of Ancient Greek texts without the Caliphate ... the Caliphate saved them and developed them when Christian countries were thinking about holy war :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_world_contributions_to...

They occupied Spain for a long time, brought irrigation, math (the concept of 0), geometry and a lot of other sciency stuff to Europe. You know how the Christians responded, getting all that tolerance, knowledge, and culture:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista#Conversions_and_ex...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

Interestingly, they also forced Jews to convert ... this seems where the first citings of your used word "Judeo-Christian" comes from (the Inquisition lasted until the 1800s). Can you understand that Jewish people might not be found of you using it, now.

Oh and when Christians still used bloodletting to remove "evil spirits", Islamic countries had actual medicine.

Yet, you are probably right, they didn't contribute anything. The only contributions that count are the contributions of our tribe and what other Christian authors say about them.
Yep, agreed - though I suspect it's a rather larger group than those who currently charter helicopters for transport.

At the carrier level, number spoofing doesn't mask where the call originated from. It's simply a mechanism for a caller to convey to the receiver who is calling.

It's allowed to be spoofed to enable legitimate things like all call center lines to report as the same 1800 number of a business. The problem is that it's been on the honor system.

With stir/shaken it's a matter of proving identity.

Carriers are required by law to connect calls, it's a monopoly thing to prevent an AT&T from refusing to connect competitor's calls to damage their business.

The FCC hasn't just given them permission to not connect calls, it has ordered them to cease connecting those calls.
I mean, if you just browse website picking out hot-takes and negativity from twitter, maybe it's not twitter that is the drain, but the websites that you visit that amplify those people.

I use twitter a lot to stay up to date on tech and follower developers. Your feed is what you make it, and if you curate it to only follow decent people you don't have to read all of the arguments and politics that happen on other parts of the site.
