I tend to avoid more extreme carnival rides due to motion sickness, and must take drugs to be out on the open ocean and my own experience with VR was a mild feeling of being unwell that persisted for a few hours after the end of a session.

This was only for the first week of owning and using VR, after that I acclimated to it just fine.
Nothing can make you care about anything. Caring is always a personal, subjective decision.

Eg, I could decide that:

1. God exists.

2. God wants me to do/not do these particular things.

3. God will punish me for disobeying.

4. I still don't care and will do whatever I want.

You can't prevent #4 by any means whatsoever. "I don't care" is always an option.
The vast majority of co-ops are for-profit enterprises, so I'm not sure why you'd phrase it like that.
Is "dreambooth" a fork? Or another feature that has been created by composing Stable Diffusion w/something else?
Hi - thank you for the reply and your thoughts.

I very much agree, we should not live in a fantasy world. Perhaps this is an issue with how I described the newsletter, versus the content itself.

If you look at the examples on the next HYVE website of the type of content shared, it is not ignoring the major issues of today. There is place for a news, but there is not enough of 'okay, so what are going to do to solve the issues brought up in the news.'

For example -- The Ron Finely Project is a real example of what someone is doing to combat food deserts. The Medium article by Jesse Weaver proposes actual ways of changing how we do UX design to better solve for large scale issues such as climate change. And the Street Psychiatry film shows a practice happening right now in San Fransisco and LA to better provide mental health services to those who cannot access them.

Each includes non-utopian factual details, actionable plans, and people who have run into issues trying to turn visions into reality as roadmaps for action. Is this type of content still something you're against on principle?

Would love to hear more to help shape what is included and why -- thank you.
Rotor diameter of 222 meters! That's almost exactly three Boeing 777-300ERs back to back; or nearly 10 acres of cross-sectional area being covered by the blades as they rotate. How amazing.
Ultimately, anything sent to a smart contract is not "yours" any more though; under the "not your keys, not your coins" premise though - right? As you point out, you are depending on the strength of the technical, social and security controls on the contract.

I moved from a ThinkPad T450s upgraded with RAM, SSD and a battery to an AMD Advantage Edition laptop from Asus last year.

Key takeaways for me were:

1. Increased display resolution and display rate

2. Better battery life (99whr battery). I get about 10hrs just browsing and around 7-8 if I watch a movie

3. Better thermals, rarely notice the fan kick in

4. Nice coterie of ports: I get 1 HDMI, 1 USB-C, 3 USB-A, 1 3.5mm, LAN port

5. Good GPU (6800M) for occasional gaming and messing around with plaid-ml

6. I really love the processor, everything screams on it!

7. Mood based lighting (haven't tinkered around with it much, but my infant loves it)

8. I love whatever Asus has done with its 2 way Noise Suppression AI. I have my infant screaming and neighbors dog barking, but the person on the other end generally gets a very crisp voice. My boss has a few dogs barking all the time and I won't generally be able to notice them in meetings.

9. Upgradable dual RAM slots and SSD. The first I didn't find on a lot of laptops for some reason.

The only cons that I have are:

1. Lack of a webcam. I do have an external USB Lenovo 300FHD cam that I adore for it's privacy cover. I also tend to unplug its USB cord when I'm done with the meetings as well

2. Noise suppression thing seems to work on windows only
I created the Neat CSS framework in the same spirit. It's so minimalist that there's no publishing system; you just grab the CSS file and write HTML. I use it for all kinds of sites, including the occasional blog.

Some things are more visible via runtime observation than via code inspection, plus I have prior experience coding with NSS and trying to work around its performance shortcomings. I'll bet neither you nor any of the downvoters have checked the code either, or worked with NSS, or even remembered prior cases where NSS was responsible for major slowdowns. Some people just don't like to see criticism of their favorites, and lash out kind of mindlessly. I have no interest in trying to engage with people who bring nothing but denial to the table.

What I'd love to see is something comparable to the long-hold punctuation that's been available on Android keyboards (Swiftkey definitely, I think it used to be on Swype) for probably most of a decade. Heck, even having the ability to have a number row would be nice.

I love that I can type my password at phone start without having to change keyboard screens multiple times. Doing the same on iOS with the native keyboard would require at least 6 context switches.

I can predict one unverifiable thing from the (still!) state of the iOS keyboard: Steve Jobs had a sh*tty password.

Sure, the GP is happy. I'll admit my main interest as an amateur researcher/pundit is the "how much can current AI components be used as elements/inputs to reliable software" rather than "can you make money with this".

I think the interesting thing is how hard it is to combine neural output into something reliable in the real world. It gives clue that some ingredient and not just some level of processing power, might be missing.
It's not an oversimplification if it is a common use case. Yes, the crypto purist will cringe at considering the entire system a ponzi but if you're that deep into crypto you probably can't see outside.

From the outside perspective, even among technically competent people, crypto has gone from a really cool "FOSS finance" type thing to basically exclusively being used to part morons from their money. That's not even to begin talking about the relative volatility in something that will allegedly replace cash.

While true that it is not crypto as a whole, by-and-large the nature of crypto has been reduced to a scam/crime currency. The community at large who loves crypto should really be doing more to stop every person with a modest twitter following from performing a successful rugpull since now the governments want to be involved.
According to my research just now, they were initially included as a bonus to another product, like gum or cigarettes! Presumably you didn't know which ones you were going to get and had to trade around if you wanted a complete collection. According to this source [0], the trend switched from cigarettes to gum after it became illegal to sell cigarettes to children.

Single source “massive models” may be more difficult to get out, but Emad said they’re working in licensing a ton of content to train future models. Even then, anyone can train new models now - The output from Dreambooth and Textual Inversion are already impressive, and seem like just the beginning.

Going to be an interesting road ahead.
Being agnostic and having grown up in England, I regard myself as Secular Anglican and I think so do many of my countrymen (many people I've discussed it with wouldn't use those exact words in self-description but immediately recognise and understand the thing and agree that we share it.)

i.e. we have it as a sort of cultural and moral framework but faith (or lack thereof) is effectively orthogonal to that.
Perfect summary of fukuyama neoliberalism.

That would be a marginal improvement, but I don't see how it makes VR substantially more compelling or useful.
Under the hood celsius was investing user funds in typical degen ways: liquidity pools and token farming operations. Many users were using Celsius to leverage their assets for the same reason. This recursive borrowing becomes ever more precarious, and then the dominos fall. So I think there were actually layers involved, where some of the deeper layers were more ponzi-esque than celsius itself, which was operating more like a hedge fund.

The author was writing just ahead of the Dream Chaser development but does mention the X-37 "(This problem cropped up again in the X-37B program and resulted in a big payload shroud being added.)." I think that DC and X-37 are great capabilities to have even if they require shrouds on the way up.

Dream Chaser is an American reusable lifting-body spaceplane being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems. Originally intended as a crewed vehicle, the Dream Chaser Space System is set to be produced after the cargo variant, Dream Chaser Cargo System, is operational.

The Dream Chaser design is derived from NASA's HL-20 Personnel Launch System spaceplane concept, which in turn is descended from a series of test vehicles, including the X-20 Dyna-Soar, Northrop M2-F2, Northrop M2-F3, Northrop HL-10, Martin X-24A and X-24B, and Martin X-23 PRIME.

The Boeing X-37, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), is a reusable robotic spacecraft. It is boosted into space by a launch vehicle, then re-enters Earth's atmosphere and lands as a spaceplane.

This is good. It’s been a while since I found an article about software development worth bookmarking.

I think anyone should be expected to write a simple bug report, with reproduction steps and expected versus actual result. There are a lot of people out there who don’t do this simple, necessary task well!

Heads up: you can swipe from the shift or symbol key to any other key on the iOS keyboard to shortcut to the alternate outputs (eg “g” becomes either “G” or “(“) Which I believe is what you’re after.

Same situation. I switched to Brave a couple of years ago (from Firefox) and I occasionally check in on Firefox to see if I should switch back. I haven't seen a reason yet. Things like full screen support in YouTube sees a bit janky still. I like where Brave is going with getting rid of cookie consent and other annoyances without extensions.
What do you mean by "brigading like this"? The German parliament (Bundestag) doesn't restrict the right to support petitions to German citizens or to people with German residency even. I'm not a lawyer but I think this is in line with the fact that "jedermann" (everyone) is allowed to submit petitions to the parliament. The "basic rights" listed in the German constitution are really valid for everyone.

And, in general in the US, there's not a lot of licensing for engineering professions in general. It's fairly common in civil engineering or other jobs where you're signing off on things like drawings that are being filed with regulators. But it's not common overall.

Notion Databases are neat! I’m not familiar with them, I just glanced over some of the documentation. I think its safe to say Notion Databases would let you create your own Linkidex (or your own todo list app, or your own food macro tracking app, etc) as long as you are willing to spend the time building and maintaining it, which you must if you have already put in the work!

May I ask what made you choose notion vs any alternative? Do you like having complete control over the shape of your data, do you like the UI, or is there something else about it?
Correct. In a different field, we're using AI to do the same thing but for streets: https://twitter.com/betterstreetsai

Which is then annoying because if you want an optional integer you now need a pointer, and a heap allocation.

Substack doesn't have a paywall.

Substack authors can have paid content, this is categorically different.

Anything an author marks as free, anyone can read. Substack doesn't have separate subscriptions for Substack, there's no "you've read your Nth free article!" etc.

Conversely, if something is paid, you have to pay for it.

Consequentially, if you see a Substack link here, you will be able to read it.
Hell no. It's fantastic. No traffic, Minimal car expenses, No special clothing expense. Cheaper meals. Freedom of time.

No, it won’t. Successfully written does not mean what you think it means. If there is “newer” (by timestamp) data on disk or in memtable then it will not be returned to a client, regardless of which order that data arrived. It is unlikely even to be written to disk (except the commit log).

Since at least one of those nodes has the “newer” value, only one node can serve this “older” value
OnionShare 2.6 – Released → (October 9, 2022)
Depends what you care about. I think there are two main reasons to use Firefox over Chrome:

- better privacy protections

- not wanting to leave web standards entirely to Google/Apple (for-profit corps)

Brave attempts to address the first, but does little about the second as it uses Blink (i.e. Chrome's engine). Personally, I care a lot more about the second.

I get it! I haven't used Macs much, mostly windows and linux, suspend/resume is really funky on windows for me. Linux was pretty much instantaneous when resuming on my ThinkPad.

Q&A with Emad Mostaque (of Stability.ai, Stable Diffusion creator) – 2022-10-10
Super fascinating Q&A with Emad about the future of AI and upcoming model releases.
I think the issue is that articles are trying to tie something that is a mentality to something physical. My analogy for quiet quitting is the lame duck time after you've put in your two weeks but extending that to full time. It's doing your duties, but not being engaged; going to meetings, but not participating; doing your job per say, but reducing your role to absolute minimal possible. You have mentally checked out from the job and your team, more so than normal or what is expected at a position.
If you believe hiring departments shouldn't use such signals then how can they be a "fantastic resource to put on a CV" and "skill amplifier"?
I don't own an iPhone, but most of my family does. One weird thing is that you can input numbers without a context-switch on an iPad, but (as far as I can tell) you can't on an iPhone; drives me a bit mad.
I'm fine with calling Blink based browsers "Chrome skins" and WebKit based browsers "Safari skins" but only if we all understand that "skin" isn't just a cosmetic thing. Firefox on iOS has its own features, settings, history, bookmarks, sync system, and other stuff that can create real, noticeable differences. Even if you assume "skin" means just the UI behavior, wouldn't it make sense that there could be a Firefox-specific bug with the URL bar?

To answer the GP's question, this does sound like a known Awesomebar issue that might be improved with a future update to the Places database: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/11775
It’s just the feeling! :-)

vBulletin 4 was also okay in the end, but I always thought vBulletin 5 was trying to be too many things at once. It’s just too modern! I understand, of course, that the online community landscape has changed since back then and vBulletin has to adapt to remain competitive.
I meant no offense by those thoughts, I thought they were in the spirit of HN curiosity, and I apologize if I caused any offense.

Since I posted my parent comment, it seems that at least one party has been trying to hack my accounts (including phishing attempts, and trying to social-engineer my phone carrier).

As an individual, I'm not hardened against attacks, and can't afford them, so I hope they will stop.

(If the parties want, they can go look at my publicly-shared open source software projects and community support, and see that I'm not an adversary.)

Hacking an individual is threatening and harmful, and not what I think any of us wants this Hacker News facilitated global community to be about.
Yes, the industry has been extremely productive at data leaks and invading users privacy! With regulation, how could there be innovation in the "spying on every moment of your life" and "everything-as-a-subscription" industries.
In the end I believe the Bayesian inference is more straightforward to implement and understand if you can afford computationally sampling of the posterior. So I think at least in physics there is a shift towards Bayesian approaches.
Life is, after all, what happens when you put together a bunch of hydrogen and wait a while.
You can do this on a train, as there is a mobile network tower every 10 miles/15 km.
With satellites, this means that before one satellite has crossed your sky and disappeared over the horizon (the reason for the 4mn) another should have appeared and taken over (handover).
In low Earth orbit, a satellite travels 300 km in one minute.

I guess that's unlikely because it means about 50,000 satellites will be moving into low orbit for this network alone. The surface of the Earth is approximately 510 million square kilometers.

If your satellites do not cover all Earth surface (as Starlink), then it's another story, you need much less satellites, so the probability of always having a satellite above you improves. As of September 2022, Starlink consisted of more than 3,000 small, mass-produced satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). It covers only 5 orbital planes with hundreds of satellites in each group.

Guys, please, please make copy-paste in Firefox reliable on macOS. That's worth much more to me than more performance, because I find the performance quite good already! It's so frustrating to CUT (or copy) something in Firefox and then paste only to find the previous data still on the clipboard. It's been like this for ten years now, and it's still broken a good 20% of the time. It's only Firefox that I have this problem in, and it happens irrespective of profile or machine (I have many).
Hoping to find someone to buy mailgenius.com
Hey HN, very long time reader but rarely post. Long story short, myself and two others made mailgenius.com and over the last few years it's ranking highly on Google, and now get plenty traffic and usage.

Does anyone here know someone who would be interested in taking over the site? Specifically it would be really valuable for any company who can sell something to those with email deliverability issues.

In my opinion, these companies would really benefit from owning mailgenius.com:
- neverbounce.com
- kickbox.com
- mailchimp.com (maybe)

Rough stats for MailGenius:
- approximately 1,000,000 email tests per year
- approximately 20,000 GA Users per month. Usually searching for terms such as "email tester" "email deliverability issues" "why is my email going to spam" "email spam test" etc.

I really hope you all take this post well, it took a huge amount of effort to build up MailGenius - this is a "shot in the dark" post incase anyone here has an acquaintance that might be interested.

Thank you!
Pretty much everyone, when presented with a poor VR experience (high latency, low framerates) will get nauseous. But there is also a minority who can never get used to even an otherwise good VR experience. Especially if there's any kind of sliding.

Sadly (note, my opinion comes from being in that minority who can't get used to sliding), the current VR player community has settled on sliding as the best mode of movement, and berate developers who create alternatives, when they even create alternatives (Boneworks, etc).

Even many games which do offer alternative movement methods still expect you to crouch, kneel, lean, pivot, etc. I'm not 20 anymore.

Combine the above with the lack of audience (largely due to cost), it's a positive feedback loop of mediocrity. The Quest2 was the closest we came to affordability, and it was still the cost of a middle-range cell phone with limited utility and way fewer games.

It sounds like you’re answering your own questions here.
I often considered the lure of raytracing as a project was that it was rather simple to get really good results. Of course there is no limit to how complicated you can make one, you don't have to put much time in to get really nice images.
