I'd say they're more algebraic representations of regular geometries.

Algebraic Geometry as a mathematical field is interested in solving highly non-trivial geometric problems (think, from differential geometry, functional analysis, etc.), using tools from Abstract Algebra (think Galois Fields, Lie Groups etc.)

It saddles a bridge between traditional geometry, and abstract algebra, and allows insights from one field of mathematics to be applied to the other. As such, it allows practitioners skilled in these tools to make many useful inferences about incredibly complicated systems.

It's also incredibly dense. In part because many of the tools of algebra are incredibly involved. But also, in part because to define an algebraic object in a way that is equivalent to a geometric object, sometimes requires a fairly complicated definition.

It’s hard to even find a review with gaming benchmarks. A quick search and I’m not sure any eGPUs are even being made? All the reviews seemed to be from 2019.

It’d be awesome if eGPUs provided high throughput and low latency. But it really doesn’t seem like that’s the case.

It happens but you make it seem like picking what you want to watch on tv. For those that are devout, the odds are incredibly slim that such a thing happens.

I have yet to find ANY EV owners who are willing to let the power company slash their car's already pitiful range by draining their battery (at the grid's convenience) to power the grid. The greediest people I know are EV owners, whose lives must center around keeping their car's batteries constantly topped off.

I've got better things to do with my life that worry about that crap - I can just refill in well under 5 minutes nearly anywhere, and even adding an unreasonable number of chargers (at about $500K/POP, BTW) doesn't get EV users to that kind of worry-free transportation.

This is something of "the exception that proves the rule." Literally everybody brings up this specific index as the example. And further, it saw a ridiculous growth prior to its collapse.

In the tech industry, it used to be that the real customer was the investor and the real product was the user (e.g. Social media monetizing users to meet the needs of investors).

Nowadays, the real customer is the founder and the real product is the investor (monetizing investors to meet the needs of founders).
He's joking about the "universal" in the UTC acronym. If UTC doesn't work on Mars, it's hardly "universal".

Yes, from the demand side, it is the new Medium because that's where readers that didn't have a curated set of blog/column subscriptions or bookmarks are going for breath-of-fresh-air articles and technical analysis.

On the supply side, it's a different business and discovery model, as many others have noted. But you are asking about the demand side, i.e., what people are reading and sharing.
Yeah, I could see that even outside of the context of the Cassandra virtual nodes primitives.

These could be K8s nodes for example, that don't make full utilization of the underlying VM, which would completely make sense at APPL scale.

For some background to other HN users out there, "virtual" nodes refer to logical nodes in distributed database software where # of virtual nodes >= physical nodes. This means if the size of data passes a certain threshold, physical nodes can redistribute the virtual nodes, reducing the amount of data shuffled across physical nodes (as opposed to a naive hash function that mods a key by a fixed number and requires all nodes to reshuffle data when a new node is added).

At the top of the article you'll see that it's outdated. System76 has firmware hosted on LVFS and has a good relationship with him today. The lapse in communication was simply because Pop!_OS was consuming all engineering time, and we needed more time to get back him, which made him think that we abandoned the effort. He implemented a desired feature that we were concerned about having (disable tracking of downloads), helped us get adjusted to the firmware upload process, and the rest is history. We in turn have helped HP get the HP Dev One on LVFS too. Unfortunately, some people are still trying to weaponize this as FUD against System76.
Not for moving the cursor, but I saw the “vim clutch” on here a while ago:

Let's play a (squid) game of best-case scenario/worst-case scenario. Let's say you study a new subject up until the point that you feel the diminishing returns were no longer worth your effort. So like a one-trick pony, you create something using your limited knowledge and put it on the market, ready for sale.

The best-case scenario is you've made a lot of money with a little effort. The worst-case scenario is you made nothing but you also lost only a bit of your time. That's actually a decent outcome. At least you validated your efforts quickly by shipping early.

Now, let's say you put yourself in a position where the best-case scenario is you live to see another day and maybe make a bit of money on the side. The worst-case scenario is you get a criminal record and go to prison for a bit. All of a sudden, you feel under-prepared for the situation using the limited knowledge you acquired. That's a classic case of being over-leveraged.

I once knew a successful investor. The way he made successful trades was through thorough investigation and careful decision making. He wasn't a workaholic, but you could describe him as assiduous. He would never slack on his duties, and then tell himself, "the money will come". I think no one with a proven track record would say that, unless he's enslaved to some ponzi scheme.

You see, restricting your studies by the power law means a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. This is especially true if you're prone to risk-taking behavior. But even as I say this, I fully understand, the crucial pattern I've seen truly successful people apply will go in one ear and out the other.

Essentially, by forming this group of get-rich-quick community, you've filtered for peers who fail to understand the consequences of their actions, even as the evidence is piling up around them.

I haven't ready any public writeups from emulator developers, no games have been released with it but Zelda BOtW2 is expected to have it. Some guesses are that it will be based on measuring specific call execution times.

The switch is already weak in terms of hardware so I am not sure how many games will end up integrating it. Regardless of what Denuvo says in marketing, it will slow down games. Nintendo has since tried to distance itself from it, but Denuvo has said they have entered NDA agreements with large publishers already. Denuvo would also need low level access and approval from Nintendo, so I am not sure why Nintendo is pretending to separate itself from this effort.

Seems like the research should be focused on behavior of neutron heavy isotopes in metallic lattices rather than trying to see how much fusion gain is happening or not happening. Like why is there the 100X amount of neutrons coming out compared to expected.. super interesting problem.. is the 100X the same for all metals? What about different metals? Doping of metals changes the shape and spacing of the lattice.. could they dope the metal with something to change the lattice spacing then shoot deuterium in after that? Tons of possibilities in the research..

This could be easily solved, if the burden of proof was on the company itself... when they report/sue you for copyright infringement, they'd just have to prove, that it's reasonably simple for the person to obtain the material legally (so, is there a (eg nintendo) distributer in the country of the accused, is there a store that sells those games there, is it possible to buy it online, etc.). If there are no reasonable legal ways to obtain the material, then you cannot claim lost profit and the "pirate" cannot get fined/sued for infringement.
It is my understanding that they follow a minimally observable protocol and power up the terminals for needed traffic. The traffic will be encrypted and designed to shorten the time window during which the enemy can acquire response data. I have not seen any news about numbers of Starlink terminals found/destroyed - but operational security will lead Ukraine to deny intercepts and at the same time Russia boasting about hundreds destroyed. I am not sure how far away the Starlink Antenna can be from the control console. One would anticipate shielded cables for data. The high Ghz RF will be in the plane of the antenna - control data will not leak, being data and not high Ghz RF = nothing to leak and it could be 500 feet away from the dish in case of an incoming missile. In addition, there will be foot pickets to detect infiltrators, and few Russian will volunteer to sneak up on them. Russians are more likely to state they walked the whole area for 8 hours and saw nothing, even as they lay flat in a trench. Russians have few professional soldiers, they are wealthy in buck passers as their system rewards and promotes buck passers.

Epic wants to nurture creatives, so I strongly doubt they'd try to squeeze it. Especially not before the full plan comes into fruition.

The game plan is this:

1. Draw capital from Fortnite and investments (Tencent, Sony, etc.)

2. Build up creative tools (Unreal Engine, Metahuman), marketplace ecosystems (Bandcamp, ArtStation), and platforms (Epic Games Store) to build the movies and games of tomorrow. Make them more compelling and synergistic than peer competitors.

Tim Sweeney is gambling he can turn anyone creative into a filmmaker or game designer. The long term game is to then take 10-15%.

It'll be interesting to see if Godot develops at a fast enough clip to become compelling to the next generation of game developers and eventually companies that want full IP rights.

It'll also be interesting to see if Adobe and other media companies can stop Epic from eating their Hollywood lunch.

AI/ML might also throw a wrench into these plans.

Ask HN: The Future for Strategy Consulting?
I recently sold a business to a global consulting firm (actually going better than expected!).

I am curious though as to what the future of strategy consulting looks like… it seems still very much based on people & day rates.

Surely this is ripe for disruption, and must require shifts to:
- more real time, on demand advice
- stronger data and ai support direct to customer (ie embedded advice, maybe even through metahumans)
- better focus on execution and shared reward for outcomes

What is the value prop?
- execs can “cover their arses” by having a branded report justifying a big move (or no move)
- better data to model decisions / scenarios
- extra capacity on demand
- impartial advise on politically contentious issues
- risk/value share based on outcomes which gives a signal on probability of success
- people who have broad current insights because of exposure to different industries coupled with subject matter expertise and knowledge capture/sharing.

My question is:
1. What do you think consulting’s value add is (if any)
2. Where might it be disrupted?

> In the Keyser Pod experiment, the cumulative sound exposure level (SELcum) value was 191.29 dB re 1 μPa2s at a distance of 10 meters from the transmitter. Note that this value is within the limits defined by Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) for all marine mammals except for mammals that lie within high-frequency cetacean hearing group. However, there were no mammals from this group (or any other group) within the 10-meter radius of the

That's a good analogy. You can perform a signed word different ways. Faster. Slower. Sloppily. Etc. And then you have your expression to go with it - surprised, bored, funny, sarcastic, etc., to demonstrate how the verb occurred.

Most of the world's oceans remain unexplored. Underwater cave systems in particular have a lot of uncharted territory. It's dangerous work, but explorers are still finding new caves and naming them.

Underwater robotics makes this task a lot easier. It's interesting to think that most of the planet's surface is abyssal plain, the largest habitat on Earth, flat surfaces on the sea floor beyond the reach of sunlight.

Ocean exploration really sparks curiosity. We are in such a rush to leave our beloved blue planet and send people to uncharted frontiers, but we still have an unfinished frontier right below our noses. Marine exploration also coincides with environmental preservation, as oceans are made of the most vital, life-giving resource on the planet.

Something interesting you learn in SCUBA diving is that sound waves travel faster in water than in air. This makes it difficult for humans to discern the source of audio while underwater, but machines like this seem to emulate the sonar capabilities of underwater creatures.

The COSMIC desktop isn't ready for anything either so they're a perfect match made for each other. There's no better time to invest in a new GUI library than doing so as you're already building a new desktop from scratch. Imagine how much money and effort would be wasted if we settled for GTK4 today and then later had to rewrite everything to Iced after someone else did the work for us. System76 would rather push the envelop and resolve this chicken & egg scenario instead of waiting around for consensus.

People also underestimate the talent that works at System76 and the amount of work required to bring Iced up to speed. Iced has already proven itself, and its using an architecture (Elm) which has also already proven itself. It's the best way to develop a GUI in Rust, without a doubt. Jeremy has developed an entire desktop OS from scratch, including making a GUI toolkit for it, so it's not like we're oblivious to the effort required.

Iced already has a fully functioning layout and rendering system so that webbrowser and JS engine analogy is complete. There's just a handful of features that are missing that are either partially implemented or we've already got 5 developers working on it full time to do the rest.
As a lifelong vegetarian, the article is spot-on. At least with respect to the replacement of vegetarian options with vegan options in restaurants (in the US vegetarian options are dwindling and vegan options rising). And also very much so with regard to the overall disdain of the vegan community of vegetarians. A typical vegan has less respect for a vegetarian than even a meat-eater.

I've worked a little with commercial eye tracking software. It's typically paired with an infrared sensitive camera and IR lighting because the pupil stands out more against the iris under IR light. It also benefits from a rectilinear camera lens and/or software calibrated lens distortion.

Environmental challenges like lighting conditions, glare, whether the user has glasses or hair obscuring their eyes need to be controlled. If the user is looking downwards towards the screen, their eye appears more closed making it hard to accurately find the iris location.

You also need an accurate measure of the position of the head/eyes relative to the camera. So dedicated hardware like a depth camera might be needed for high precision tracking. Depth cameras come with their own set of issues.

The resolution of even a high-res camera versus the change in pupil location for small eye movements means that by the time you crop out the eyes, you might only be working with a very small image (<100pixels or less). Even with subpixel hinting, there's not a lot of detail left. Small errors here and in the head tracking location can cause large errors in the screen position estimation.
