Ooo Detic looks like what I'm looking for. Being able to differentiate between subclasses of objects is key.

If I was still working as a professional photographer (and if I didn't know anything about programming) I'd pay for this kind of thing for sure. I have enough experience in Python to know it's possible but I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
> There is no such thing as “scarce workers”. The problem is scarce salaries.

Well, yes, and the point is that workers are more scarce at any given salary than they used to be last year, or in the last decade, etc. At the same time, robots get more affordable. Isn't that the reason why employers want to automate as much as possible?

It's a question of how quickly the robot can pay for itself and provide a return on investment. Whichever tasks can be performed by robots will likely be automated.
Among developers, probably the most popular text editors are VSCode, vim, and emacs.

On a spectrum of "notepad to IDE", vim is closest to "editor only"; although with effort it's possible to get an environment with nice bells & whistles.

Emacs has always been 'heavier' than vim (although I don't think it's "works well out of the box enough" to count as an 'IDE'). A couple of ways in which it's heavier is e.g. its fancy UI for customising properties; or its "apps" like org-mode or magit, or having an elisp shell or support for virtual terminals.

VSCode's also not quite an 'IDE'. But it's also heavier than just a pure 'editor'.

VSCode doesn't quite have the insane level of customisability that Emacs has. VSCode also doesn't have people bragging about e.g. reading email from VSCode. -- But, VSCode does have some of these features (e.g. an 'app' for interacting with Git, or inbuilt terminal).

I like to think that VSCode's discoverability owes a bit to Emacs (e.g. the key bindings showing in the command palette reminds me of emacs' which-key).

This doesn’t take into consideration the amount of food rendered inedible due to radioactive fallout especially the food out in the fields. This article also seems to have its own faults.
I always try to separate facts, deduction and values.

* We can agree and disagree about the facts. This is the worst case and it is probably not worth discussing and try to change someone's mind if we disagree about basic facts.

* One can discuss the logic/deduction that goes from these facts. That's probably the most meaningful thing to discuss and one can try to change somebody's mind on that.

* People have different value systems (i.e. what's important for the society and how much). And here there is no right or wrong. At best one can agree that our values are different, and it can be worth discussing (but likely nobody will change their mind)
People always take a good idea to far.

There's nothing wrong with loading a page and then everything on that page loads data from the server and renders it.

Where the issues come in is that modern SPA claims loading a new page is unacceptable and that somehow doing so means you can't fetch data and render anymore.

It's just not true.

Only in a very, very tiny window. I’ve never seen a system sustain it for more than a trivial amount of time before it OOM kills something and then voila, enough memory.

I’m sure someone here will chime in with their example though.
> despite its flowery language at times, Homeric language is full of repetitive turns of phrases too

Absolutely, as I understand it that's believed to be a direct result of it being passed down orally, a technique for memorisation.

I just meant that the dialogue is generally colourfully exclaimed, never merely 'said'; though plenty of those individual words even (for describing how it's.. said) are repeated endlessly.

Though, I've only read one English translation, so I did hesitate to draw the comparison. I assume no respectable translator would start 'flowering up' a text like that if it did hypothetically say the equivalent of 'said' all the time though.
You seem to take it as a given that the language needs to work the way you already think? The people enthusiastic about array languages have put some time (but not as much as you might expect) into learning this different way of thinking about problems and find it pretty neat. Okay, the fetishization of a language that looks really crazy is... probably the main reason it ever shows up on HN. But the different way of thinking is pretty neat!
Pretty fun hit of nostalgia. I feel like FB/IG/whatever have lost a lot of what made it fun to share things about yourself or personalize your page in a creative way.
15ms to who? I’ve never had that kind of latency on a cold connection. My pages have an LCP of around 600ms, and it’s hard to push it much lower because even static pages on a CDN end up taking 400ms to connect and download.
I use syncthing with logseq and I'm pretty happy with the match up. You do have to be careful when you have multiple logseq instances running at the same time. I try to avoid that. I utilize the re-index feature quite a bit too.

I love syncthing itself though! I used to use resilio sync and syncthing is so much better.
By “fingers” do you mean “things which can apply precisely controlled forces to individual atoms”, or..?

If you have two atoms in a vacuum with one moving directly towards the other at a not very high speed, I’m pretty sure they don’t fuse.

There’s a repulsive force, right? Like, the (expectation of) potential energy goes up (up to a certain point) as the centers of their nuclei get closer together (after perhaps getting lower for a bit because maybe they form a bond or something)?

So, presumably the “fingers” would have to do enough work to get past this potential energy barrier? (Or at least, make it high enough up this barrier that the probability of tunneling through becomes non-negligible?)
Several comments here advise getting a good mushroom identification book instead of relying on plant id apps for foraging. Do you have any recommendations? And more generally, how would you go about assessing the trustworthiness of any such book?

To elaborate: UTF-8 is the most common I/O encoding, but UTF-16 is often what you need to work with the OS APIs (Win32, macOS) or popular frameworks (Qt).
https://www.phantasmagoria.me has no filters, for what it's worth.

Well, technically it does, but you can see/use the image just fine, it just doesn't make it onto the front page.
Reminds me of "Airplane Mode" a game available on Steam that is a simulator of a airliner trip -- no, not as the pilot like in a flight simulator, but as a passenger -- so you have to spend the time listening to podcasts, watching movies, or reading a book. It's simulating the utterly mundane which is amusing.
Civil court has a lower bar for guilt, is one difference.
The need to convert UTF-8 <-> UTF-16 is not going to go away anytime soon. Many existing formats or APIs specify one or the other.
For non-Portuguese: the eucalypt refers to eucalyptus plantations, the wood being used for paper production. They are a disaster for native species and also extremely susceptible to forest fires.
My gut feeling is that we'll solve AGI before we solve the niche case of fully autonomous vehicles.

AGI is a generalization and super set of self driving cars and has a far wider impact and set of people researching it.

The two problems seem equivalently hard in that fully autonomous vehicles must be five nines (?) reliably safe. That's a ridiculously hard problem.
The irony is that the guys who invented aviation are from "flyover country" (Ohio).
Oh no, we can’t sell people their legalized meth-analogue.
Figuring out how much extra capacity is needed still needs to be done.

Simply stating that no new peaker plants are needed "because storage capacity will be there" is a bit too simplistic.

I'd be glad if that's the case, but I'm not convinced it's actually true.
If I were dog, I would be a mutt.

But due to being human, I just call myself an Earthling. This despite my heritage being from multiple cultures (8?) from around the world, some of them very long lived within their family trees. If you were to do a full deep dive on my lineage, you would find that my bloodline goes back not just decades, or even centuries, but millenniums. Technically, so too does everyone else who is alive today, for we all came from some line of apes that evolved or another. And that's ignoring all the stuff about Neanderthals and such.

To me, it doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, or where you came from. What you believe is another matter, since there are wrong opinions about many things abound, but I tend to leave that alone; because arguing with idiots is a good way to lose to them when idiocy outnumbers intelligence since the days of the stone age. (With some exceptions thanks to the coincidental silver lining of plagues.)

To me, people who focus solely on race in any fashion, need to stop. Not only is it not rational, but it's divisive. Which is why politicians love using it in some form or another, when we start to get along again; and most intelligent people know that politicians are less trustworthy than some random person on the internet.

Yet we keep falling for their bullshit. Why?

Because we deeply want to belong to something more than just ourselves, I think. And when that thing we belong to is supposedly threatened by another group inside or out of our own group, we fight them.

Doesn't matter which group, it's the same for all.

Now excuse me while I go back to trying to get things put together in my own life so I can make a place for people who think like me where we can escape the rest who obsess about race, colour or creed.

You're all welcome to join me, though it may take some of you time to de-escalate your emotions over these sorts of things.

People like the convenience of having their bookmarks and saved passwords available, so the Incognito mode serves a purpose, it's just not what its name implies. Only its name is a problem, the description on the starter page correctly describes the behavior.

"Guest Mode": (1) hides the identity on the internet, and (2) hides the activity on the local machine.

"Incognito window": (2 only) hides the activity on the local machine.

To clear the confusion, "Incognito mode" should simply be renamed "Ephemeral mode" or "Transient mode" or "No-Save mode".

The issue is fairly well documented. In a nutshell, it's that the Windows kernel has rather high-latency disk I/O, and emacs plugins tend to spam the disk.

I actually would rather synthetic or screw tops, but I'm mostly into whisk(e)y not wine. Corks can fail way more than other options. I do like a nice cork pop though.

Plus cork taint is no fun (yes, that happens with whiskey too, it's a myth it can't)

Also another down side of spirits being capped with a cork is that at higher ABVs they can slowly disolve the cork ... (Not sure when that starts to happen, but I believe 40% ABV can)

So 2.4 billion light years away, yet several times the article says things like "This event, because of its relative proximity to Earth, is also a unique opportunity" and "Because this burst is so bright and also nearby, we think this is a once-in-a-century opportunity."

2.4 billion light years is not close.

I have to disagree with this point in this context. "Changing someone's mind" is a collaborative act. If you change someone's mind about something important, they are more responsible for the change than you are, because they have more power than you over the change. You don't own the beliefs of others.

Share information when you have it. Maximize peoples' opportunities to hold informed beliefs.
For particularly open ended explorations, I like org mode.

For cementing understanding, I like carefully crafted notes on pen and paper, sometimes a first and second draft.

Otherwise plain text files. I organize my files by putting them at first randomly into one folder, and then sorting them as I refine them and make second drafts. This is nice because I can always sort by most recent - anything not very important or timeless goes somewhere else.

'Note taking tools' sounds like such a misnomer, a notepad is just to write scratch down in so you can focus on something more important. To elevate scratch to such a level of sophistication is missing the point - to really test your knowledge, you must be able to write about it and read and edit as the role of harshest critic. A good single text file or essay is enough to encompass very large blocks of knowledge - the rest comes from organizing those essays.

If you are studying for a test - then feel free to search for enhancements to memory, but to build understanding most of that organizational work will be taking place in your head, not a tool. When it is organized in your head it is easy to organize into a file, paper, or set of folders.

Let's change the first line:

> One misconception is that languages like J are in the same caliber as less practical languages (esoteric languages like brainf*k) that use symbols more than words. The assumption is that these are mostly for recreational programming.

Making some crude assumptions here, I believe you've already invested a lot of time into studying python, or some other well known language. Understanding python or C gives you an idea of hundreds of other languages because they use similar keywords and structures to represent their code. English also helps a great deal in understanding these languages.

Now, looking at this, giving a language like APL or J a chance means that you have to spend time learning their kind of notation. If you spend your time looking at APL without making an effort to understand it, then you cannot be surprised that it looks like regex to you.
Similarly, currency symbols + noreply/no_reply sender addresses could be useful to filter out receipts. Though it might make sense to have a higher-priority rule or an exception for your bank domains.

I think it would go significantly better if we make roads for self-driving cars.

Right now cars are trying to drive like a human. Based on the same cues and road markings, signs etc.

What if we started embedding road signs with radio beacons. Cars with transponders like aircraft have. Road markings in a digital way that's easier to follow for a machine.

We could start with some lanes dedicated to automated traffic. If the goal is that humans will no longer drive themselves, why should the road design still be prioritized for humans?
Maybe we'll get noclip mode.
First rule of contacting is never teach anyone anything. I see our contractors follow it religiously. Rule number 2 is to work lots of OT to extract maximum profit.
Philosophers are paid thinkers, and they fulfill an important social function, like theologians to a God, in this case the Market.

i’m a long time cubendo user. i’ve tried to switch to ardour a couple of times (although perhaps lacking in sustained effort), but i can’t ever quite seem to get the same productivity in my workflows - e.g. multi-track slip editing for a whole drum track recording, sidechaining effects, and routing (a non-exhaustive list). this is most likely a time/experience issue, to be fair.

what tips would you give me for making ardour feel a bit more familiar? i understand that’s a very vague question, and a vague response would be justified :)
> I'm happy to pay for it as well.

Assuming you're not lying, you are in the mass minority and I hope you do donate; the truth is Moxy has said in the past that it's completely funded as of right now and for the immediate foreseeable future due to the foundation donations.

But Meredith Whittaker (ex google) just took Moxy's role and has given an interview on how things will be funded moving forward, which ultimately relies on the small donation model spread from it's userbase, so I have and will continue to donate and I hope you do as she expresses very well in that interview [0]: privacy by default is getting rarer if not completely gone besides Signal due to most tech corps business models and that has dire implications.

>> people like stupid bullshit

Agreed, but if that helps bring in more possible donations than it's worth it; personally< i have never had any social media (assuming HN isn't) aside from a reddit account but these things are seen and UX enhancements from traditional platforms so hopefully we some significant migration

I understood "lesser-gifted" as just referring to facility with symbols and memorization, so I feel like you're reading a bit too much into that comment.
Yet, to me, Incognito is even more careful that Firefox in some respects.

From what I understand, what's most important to you is having a model that's already trained on something, rather than the architecture. Yolo is probably fine, as would be some of the older ones. You should be able to find a model that's been pretrained on COCO - you can look at see what classes are included. I don't know if there are other broadly trained models available that will serve your purpose. What I'd do is just run your picture through a COCO trained object detection model and see if the annotations do what you want.

Though backing up a bit, there are also image captioning models that may better do what you want to do for organizing your photos. I'm not really familiar with any - though I did come across BLIP the other day but I haven't used it: https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP

This may be a better way to get at what you want

8 fun creating and printing, but early printers had issues, printer objects some times come of platform and you waste materials as well as time printing. Setting of higher heat need to know about as well. I like the new sites to get new objects to print and easier tools to make stuff.
Thank you for clarifying and providing the use case. It makes total sense to me! I'm adding this to my to-do list.

There can be many potential use cases, such as providing typing information to the IDE's LSP, ejecting them directly to the code as you suggested, integrating them into the CI process, etc.

I'm very open to providing all those possibilities, and there's no reason to limit how you use the typing information when you possess them automatically.

I've used Ardour to mix-down my last few tracks. I write EDM and I decided to try creating a track entirely in Ardour. Coming from "clip" or pattern based sequencing, working with Ardour was pretty painful. I went back to Ableton for sequencing and arranging.

Glad to see they've added a clip based workflow, makes it a lot more useful for the way I do my sequencing and arranging.

> I mean I like good UIs and this is what attracts me.

Hard disagree. DAWs like Logic, Ableton, and Bitwig have consistent, straightforward, and (given the amount of data) relatively uncluttered UIs. The open source or cheaper DAWs, like Ardour and Reaper, are a veritable explosion of inconsistent and different sized widgets, fonts, and styles. Reaper also apparently likes massive walls of random text for its menu system too. This is only too typical of open source software: there's no UI designer who can rein in the chaos.

Where I lived in rural Nebraska, polka radio stations were more common than country radio stations. This reflected the ethnicity and immigration history of the region I lived in.
