Ask HN: Subtitles are not the same as sign language
I'm working on a new service that will let people add sign language to any video. It doesn't matter where the video is from.

Who do you think would be interested in such a solution?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Will

King’s is amazing, IMO. Very didactic and covers C in depth.
(For context I'm not Christian I'm Muslim) Wait is the modern pope an extension of the Christian Roman emperor? I always knew the Vatican was in Rome, but I never knew the reasoning
I think Intel’s current leadership is slowing righting the ship, it just takes time in this space. It seems like Intel is making the right moves for 5-10 years from now instead of trying to maximize short term returns.
It appears one road span is completely in the water, the other span appears impassable. A fuel train on the railroad span caught on fire and was fully engulfed. The entire route is impassable.

From video it appears a semi crossing the bridge exploded.

This is in my opinion why you're better off as a graduate student, than a graduate worker, as some people want to become. When I was a graduate student I wasn't employed by the university, so they had no say in what I did with my time. You don’t need worker protections if you avoid being a worker in the first place!
That's the whole idea:

1. set noindex tag, don't get indexed
2. cry "conspiracy"
3. get elected
You assume the "noindex" was a mistake, it wasn't.
There was no need for that second comment
Walk me through it. The Russian army, which has not shown any qualms about rape, torture, and murder, is given reign over a huge slice of Ukrainian territory without a fight. Am I pro-bloodshed, or are you pro-genocide? I am sorry to get personal, but this is bullshit.
Don't worry this year they nominated Zelensky just after he asked NATO for a preemptive nuclear strike against Russia
I've been trying to figure out how to define a living will that is actually quantified, but I just can't come up with anything. Everything I can think of has exceptions in it, and I'm sure I won't cover all the holes.
You have to feel sorry for him. Pretending both to be a free speech candidate in order to not lose the libertarian-leaning base and also trying to get some cred in the oppression Olympics using the Christian-values base's mythology of persecution at the same time is a tough road for somebody who also desperately wants things censored.

edit: It's going to be a problem for a lot of conservatives this cycle. A lot of candidates in general. Claiming to be for free speech and free expression, with long lists of books to be burnt.
Interesting. I wonder if the kpti path leveraging PCID has 'tipped' into a performance improvement? Maybe a larger PCID cache on the CPUs and optimized codepaths for specter-usage?
From what I understood, the point was to monitor how often grad students use their desks so they could move to time-sharing and the university could reduce costs.

Guess it's a more dystopian version of open offices :P
That's why you should hire the PR companies they're using, not the train companies themselves.

Partially joking, I think the image stems from the past, but the system degrades when it's not maintained appropriately.

There was an entertaining talk at a CCC event a few years back which looked at DB reliability and accuracy (in German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rb9CfOvojk
Indeed it does cost them, and so you are right - they should simply pirate instead.

Which language to choose? Wanna develop an IoT solution
Hi mates!
I am going to develop an IoT solution, maybe a framework? Anyway still in design. The problem is which language to choose, seems Go would be a better choice for its fast and high performance. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
It broke the site guidelines and therefore was correctly flagged.

> […] almost too-good-to-be-true symmetric 1.5gbs FTTH with Bell Fibe.

One issue I have with Bell Fibe is the new HomeHub 4000 hardware is mandatory, and the GPON optic is not removable (the one in the HH 3000 is).

I'm not exactly enamoured at having to use Bell's hardware (though I'm sure it gets the job done for most people).
Since I can't post the Pepe Silva/Red String Guy meme here directly, I'd be much obliged if you'd just imagine it for me. Thanks!
Yeah obviously it's efficient, so I used it to establish my IoT framework. I have to say it is working perfectly, maybe you can have a look and make your own choice. Check it out here: https://github.com/Edgenesis/shifu

Show HN: State-of-the-Art Arithmetic/Range Entropy Coder/Decoder in Go
Much better is the idea to redirect asteroids into the sun’s orbit that encodes flashes of light in some unique pattern (pi?). The light sends the signal in potentially all directions and the signal would last for a lonnng time.

The ability to achieve that feat is in itself evidence of the beings intelligence and accomplishments.

“Intelligence was here”
I work on a PACS system. The problem isn’t DICOM, it’s big ass EHRs that don’t need to cooperate with anyone but themselves.

Also, we’ve always had to allow exports in .iso/.zip with a viewer for the image data - going back to 2008. This is mostly forcing the big EHRs to stop playing games with patient data

Calling DICOM ancient is funny, the whole industry has basically been dragging their feet adopting it. FHIR will be “ancient” by the time it’s widely adopted, as well

See if you can make the simple fix yourself.

From wikipedia:

Arithmetic coding (AC) is a form of entropy encoding used in data compression. Normally, a string of characters is represented using a fixed number of bits per character, as in the ASCII code. When a string is converted to arithmetic encoding, frequently used characters will be stored with fewer bits and not-so-frequently occurring characters will be stored with more bits, resulting in fewer bits used in total. Arithmetic coding differs from other forms of entropy encoding, such as Huffman coding, in that rather than separating the input into component symbols and replacing each with a code, arithmetic coding encodes the entire message into a single number, an arbitrary-precision fraction q, where 0.0 ≤ q < 1.0. It represents the current information as a range, defined by two numbers.

> "They are proposing that grad students share desks, taking turns with a scheduling web-app, so administrators can take over some of the space currently used by grad students"
Lower frequency is less demanding, possibly allowing smaller or less numerous devices, more compact layouts for the same circuit, etc.

Less threads allows saving on elements that need to be faster to serve more threads, often with one instance per thread: for example, to run at full speed the instruction decoder needs to simultaneously decode one instruction per thread, and each thread is likely to need a separate set of registers to avoid the unpredictable delays and horrible complications of sharing them.
> Also, the second issue I noticed is that it is now very hard to find good branded products with Amazon search.

This. It seems well known brands have almost abandoned Amazon and low end consumer electronics altogether in some categories. A couple weeks ago I wanted to get a mains extension cable (power strip) with USB-C power connector for my phone. There wasn't a single brand I recognised apart from Belkin, who seemed not to sell any with USB-C (only USB3). The brand I opted for ended up being garbage (USB socket loose, general chintzy feel to something that will handle mains voltages and stay powered-on under my bed for years - no thanks).
the industry needs better advertisers and investors, then
The conspiracy theory that "Big Tech" and the "Deep State" are involved in an orchestrated conspiracy to deplatform Republicans and silence their views is literally just normalized Trumpist propaganda. Social media may have had a part in accelerating the normalization, but blaming it alone would be ignoring the root cause.
Sabine: Cold Fusion is Back (there's just one problem)
I hate hearing about this. I’d be angry too if I invested all those hours and was banned by a bot.

The risks involved investing your time into building out your project on a 3rd party platform make it not worth it.

I hear about Google and Apple Apps being banned on the regular. Even a few weeks ago the Google Stadia platform being shutdown after a gaming developer spent several months building out their game. When will people learn?

I also hear about way too many of the younger generation who invest much of their time on social media aspiring to become an influencer on YouTube/Instagram/TikTok. It’s not sustainable long term and it never will be.

It’s important that the message gets delivered that these platforms are not sustainable. Sure there’s a small minority out there making it work for them but for the 99% you’re better off investing in higher education and working a lucrative career starting in your late 20s - early 30s.
I wonder if there'll be a 30th anniversary edition like there was at the 25th
My Thinkpad X220 still going strong, and I miss a computer I can open up, replace or upgrade what's needed in an easy way. The form factor is good enough and I don't need or want this inch thin laptops just because one company decided it's suits them and fashionable.

Unfortunately Lenovo doesn't really keep the brand and in the gazillion models they have on stock, there isn't one that can replace my X220 in convenience of use and long term usability. There is a market for this laptops and as long as they ignore it they will just lose more and more market share.
Before people get their hopes up on this, remember there is no enforcement mechanism currently. OIG has to issue a final ruling on the penalties for HealthIT which I've heard from some insiders could take as long as another year. For providers, a preliminary ruling and then a final ruling has to be made which could take years.

So yes, the law mandates that your entire EHI* designated record set be made available there is NO enforcement mechanism to penalize bad actors at this point in time. Also its important to note that HealthIT and providers can make a claim to continue to block information if it falls under 8 categories (patient privacy, patient harm, financial costs, content exception such as psychotherapy notes, etc). The proposed penalty is 1 million per Information Blocking claim for HealthIT. So HealthIT has a huge incentive once the final ruling is made to make sure there is no information blocking, but providers right now don't have any kind of penalty themselves.

*EHI = Electronic Health Information, note this moves beyond the USCDI V1 standard someone mentioned in another post to the entire Designated Health Record Set including claims, payment information, imaging data, and anything that is used to make a healthcare decision by providers.

* Disclaimer I've done work for an open source EHR and I've been forced to become pretty familiar with this stuff.
Hack the world, man!
Cynicism is not thinking. It's not wisdom either.

The job that takes the longest is the one you don't start. Don't want to be successful? You're on the right path.

EDIT:

Since HN won't let me respond, here's my response:

When I first graduated, a house was definitely out of reach. It all seemed so unfair.

Instead of dwelling on that, I got to work. I now own (completely) my house and am in a profession that is rewarding.

You can either hold yourself back with cynicism and blame others for your problems, or you can get to work and solve them. No one else is going to.
China already makes x86 and ARM knockoffs. x86 up through SSE2 (and maybe SSE3) is already patent-free too.
> If it's found within your natural lifetime you will be dead before the research is complete

I'm 30. If it takes another 30 years, I'll be 60. That's late, certainly, but I could still avoid a lot of health issues if I'm able to start taking something then. Most older people I know really start to degrade around their 70s and 80s, often after some sort of health incident or chronic issue crops up.

And if not, ok, well then some younger people in a generation or two will benefit and I'm happy for them.
IBM's ThinkPads lasted to this day without having issues.

My Lenovo ThinkPad T14s AMD has multiple dead pixels, enter and backspace keys not working at all and completely fucked up USB bridge, resetting devices all the time which results in unsolicited clicks and drag'n'drop or screen selection being unavailable both using mouse and touchpad.

"Business laptop" my ass. It's a disgrace to the ThinkPad brand what Lenovo sells.
I think making a reasonable effort to cover likely scenarios is a good way to communicate your intent, and if a situation comes that you didn't cover, a trustworthy reader has a good chance of taking the action you would have wanted. At some point you have to accept that you're going to have diminishing control over things.

Greed (as opposed to sensible, sustainable profit) is ultimately counter productive over the long term.

Being totally oriented toward the short term, many American businesses have yet to fully appreciate all the implications.
Intel's 10nm mistake was trying too many new things at one time. Now that they've fixed that, they've not only fixed 10nm, but also fixed problems other fabs had pushed off until later, so catching up will take a lot less time.
I hadn't heard of Garth Nix!

It was in fact from the German. I like the suggestion that the CI should feel like "nothing at all" (rather than the painful slow trial-and-error process of setting up most CIs, which makes you very much aware of them).

I also happen to live very near where Marlene Dietrich lived, who has a famous song in which "und sonst gar nichts/nix" is the refrain ("and nothing else") [0]. When garnix becomes a noun of its own, as here, it reads instead as "and otherwise, garnix", which I find mildly funny.

Perhaps the proliferation of recorded written, audio, and video communications might have re-calibrated people’s assumptions.

Every time a leader or respected person says one thing and is trivially proven to have been lying puts a dent in societal trust.

Off the top of my head just in my lifetime, Snowden’s revelations, cops lying and suffering no consequences (over and over and over), politicians espousing views directly in contradiction with their actions, the myriad sexual abuse scandals, even tech leaders emailing each other to hold down pay for engineers who might have looked up to them and so on and so forth.

And then, of course, the whiplash from mob justice where certain thing get taken out of context or are difficult to understand without experience, and the consequences of that on those who are watching and understand.
The problem is that the whole socioeconomical system is built on and fueled by greed instead of sustainability.
If you believe he jumped to conclusions, I have a bridge to sell you. One doesn’t accidentally request to block indexing of their site.

Right, that's essentially the same thing, with aleph being a shortened way of saying rishon and bet being a shortened way of saying sheni. My original point was that I'd never heard of "ve'adar". Apparently as the Wikipedia entry says, that's less common. Curious if the Mishna or Talmud ever uses "ve'adar" (I've never seen it, but doesn't mean it doesn't exist)
I used to use a lot of direct language and I've switched. I think a lot of it has to do with whether it is done in person, where you have intonation and body language to interpret. The exact same question can be taken in totally different ways when only in writing, especially if you've either never met someone even over video or you've not had the best first experience with them.

To take the example from your parent, some sort of problem where you had to choose an algorithm to solve some problem. There are multiple choices that have their pros and cons.

Mh, very interesting! Why did you choose that algorithm?

Imagine this in person. The "Mh" comes out finger placed on mouth, thinking and exclaiming an excited "Very interesting!" as he has some realization from thinking about it. Then, with an excited face expression and in a tone that signals he is interested in comparing notes asks the "Why did you choose that algorithm?" question. Totally OK. You now go on to discuss the pros and cons and why you chose that particular algorithm over another one.

Now the very same one:

Mh, very interesting! Why did you choose that algorithm?

Imagine this either in person or in writing where you've had previous "run-ins" with the other person, so you imagine it like this: The "Mh" comes out scoffing, almost barking. A mischievous "very interesting!" that transports his contempt for your choice. He knew you'd make this totally inadequate choice of algorithm even though better ones exist. Followed by a condescending "Why did you choose that algorithm?". That conversation is dead Jim!

The point after all this being that the word why can very easily be interpreted this way, which is harder to do when using these other words in part also because you have to structure the sentence in a less 'violent' way.
I've seen computers improve lives

At a former place of work the secretaries became experts at using Excel and even Access or Crystal Reports. I remember one had a beefy SQL book on her desk to make queries directly from the company's Oracle databases.

Eventually they got newer titles of "executive assistant" with better pay.

The IT department I worked at also lobbied for a policy, so that when computers were upgraded that they should get the newest and more powerful ones, since they were doing the bulk of computing.
Really strange to me that given its obviously possible to securely verify someone’s age without requiring personally identifiable information at the endpoint requiring verification (or for the system verifying attributes to know the endpoint requesting verification) that anyone would even want that information flowing through their systems — unless they wanted the information for other reasons. To me, unless the prior technological features I just mentioned are baked into the law, this feels like it’s either intentional or laws are being crafted by people that have no clue what they’re doing.

More generally speaking, governments should start seeing the hoarding of data by itself and others as a national security threat, open source any government systems — and offer bounties for anyone able to maintain the objectives of a system while reducing the system’s access to sensitive data.

______________

* EDIT: 100% sure that it’s technically possible to have an endpoint anonymously verify age and a verification system to do so without knowing the endpoint requesting the verification, but unable to find technical explanation of how this might be done using existing technology; might be wrong, but believe it included a combination of differential privacy and zero knowledge proofs. Does anyone have a link to detailed explanation of how to implement such a system?
