"I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the Universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually other life. A supernova! Creation itself! I was there. I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull! With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air. ...

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me!"
Odd that they checked the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One, but not the newer PS5 or Xbox Series consoles.
The viewer is really worth checking out. The full model seems to be there, though some settings look disabled.

I can imagine making changes to a battery production line, scanning a few samples, and using the scans to tweak angles, speeds, stops etc.

I'm sure these scanners are expensive. Very cool though.
> Supported file formats include H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW, with clips able to be imported from the iPad Pro internal storage and Photos library, or externally connected iCloud and USB-C media disks.

Since it runs on an iPad, I assume it uses the system libraries to support H.264 files properly, but I can't pass up the chance to grumble about the HyperDeck Studio Mini. It says it supports H.264 files, then you find this deep in the manual:

“HyperDeck Studio Mini will play back H.264 files recorded on a HyperDeck Studio Mini, but not H.264 files recorded on other video equipment.” —https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/HyperDeck...

Also, it pretends the files it doesn't like don't exist at all, rather than telling you.

That’s why I choose a school for my daughter that differentiates in the class. That means they adapt material per student by their abilities across subjects. My daughter is extraordinarily advanced in reading and math, but she is in a class of kids around her age but the material is adapted to her ability individually. The age component for me is about maturity in a social context.

Ah yes, the good old security clearance polygraph. My friend failed that one 3 times through nervousness. I believe that whole process is just partly to make you nervous and off-balance while they ask you probing questions and partly to signal that you, as an applicant, are willing to ask "how high?" when the government says jump. I did a few clearance processes when I was in the military, ultimately got a TS-SCI, but never took a polygraph; I think because I had a clean-as-a-sheet record since I joined the military a week after my 18th birthday.

Just like the people that hated that Apple was removing the headphone jack, they'll just not buy it.

Oh wait, they still did.

And now Androids are losing the headphone jack, too.

The viewpoint of just letting the market decide is naive and assumes consumers are rational, behave in their own best interests, and will always vote with their wallet, when the reality is they don't. They'll bitch and moan while still forking over their cash, signaling that they'll accept it. Other car companies see this model is successful and join in.
To me it seems the other way around.

1.5 was apparently held back by Stability for weeks.
Runway finally decided to just release it.

Stability requested a take down, and here you see the Runway CEO telling Stability in no uncertain terms "this ours to release, we created it, it's under an OS license, you don't hold any IP rights here; all you did was provide compute"

If anything this is a pretty stern rebuke of Stability and a sign of considerable disagreement between the two parties.
The article mentions in passing that "The negative electrode is copper; its yellow color in our visualization means it’s denser than the other materials in the battery." So presumably the blue to yellow scale corresponds to material density.

There isn't really much to learn when going from Java to Kotlin. Most Java devs with a bit of experience should be "fluent" in Kotlin within two or three days.
Apple supports standards they don’t own like h264 and h265. Why should they be forced to support this particular standard?

Do we want the government dictating which video encoding standards we have to use?

It’s not Apple is only allowing QuickTime, their fully owned protocol that others must license from them, and nothing else.

What is Apple doing on this issue that would be an anti-trust issue?
Yea, a good point that perhaps this device isn't what Apple is targeting or intended to take part in this API, but as a user I don't care: I should be able to do what the heck I want with my hardware/software. I know that isn't the case at all, and it makes me sad. I could go to Android and have a bit more freedom, but then Google will be a monkey on my back looking at all my content.
That's beautiful. Forgive my ignorance -- what's that from?
> Even if you find a job and a place to live in the same superblock, people are gonna (a) want to have options to leave that job in the future and (b) know people outside of those blocks.

You seem to be stretching really hard here to try and conflate "no driving through them middle of the superblock" and "people in the superblock aren't allowed to have cars", but those aren't the same thing at all. You just put the parking in centralized places at the edge of the superblock, where economy of scale can apply.
Stability has a research team. They've just brought over David Ha (@hardmaru on Twitter) from Google Brain to lead strategy.
They probably haven't, yet ;)

But if a song (yours or other people's songs on Beatport/Bandcamp/Spotify) becomes popular enough and it has samples you haven't cleared, expect your door to be knocked on by some of the right holders who are gonna ask you to pay up.

There are plenty of cases of unknown people making songs that become popular overnight and then get stuck in long litigations regarding sample usage. Obviously they're not gonna go after music makers who barely have any listeners.

Don’t make a programming language part of your identity, not even your professional identity. Programmers use languages as tools.

If you have significant experience with Java you can quickly pick up C#, Go, Python, PHP, Javascript. With just a little more effort you can learn C++ or Rust. Those languages already have big footprints in back-end work, we’re past calling any of them “the future.”

To really learn a language you have to use it in practice, learn the idioms and the ecosystem. You have to know databases in some depth since those make up a big part of web back-end programming.

Domain expertise and experience with any common language (such as Java) should get you in the door, especially if you move top companies in the same or similar business domain. Right now the job market has tightened up and more programmers than usual chase fewer jobs.
Totally. 5 years of smart, conscious riding will definitely give you that bandwidth, but I've also met people who've been riding twenty years tell me they "had to lay 'er down" in an accident as if it was the result of a planned maneuver and not a fistful of front brake as they shat their pants. Imo it doesn't matter how long you've been riding if you don't make the effort to hone the right instincts for when shit hits the fan.

Ahh, great quote from Battlestar Galactica.
That's not the point I'm trying to make.

If everyone still needs cars, you gotta put them somewhere. And the roads have to be big enough to accomodate the commuting and the inter-block traffic. If you put them on the perimeter and route the cars around the perimeter, you don't have a walkable city, you have a car-centric city of high-traffic roads people drive on to walk around little walkable islands. *Same even if you put them under the superblock.* Tons of these sorts of mini-downtown walkable areas in LA, for instance, but nobody's calling LA walkable.

Transit, transit, transit. You can't superblock your way around the need for it. "Walking to a car to drive to another part of town" instead of "Walking to a train to get to another part of town" is going to give you a dramatically different experience, since one of those is far, far more friendly to low-density SFH surrounding development than the other.

I believe the research on the bat viruses was being done under BSL-2 conditions, which basically means normal lab practices, an autoclave for waste, and some of the work needs to be done in a biosafety cabinet. Of course, that assumes the procedures are strictly followed.

In 2016 I had bought a new car and it came with an XM Radio trial. I wanted to know what satellite radio was all about, even though I figured it was a dying technology getting replaced by music streaming. After deciding it wasn't going to be worth the money, I cancelled my trial.

Yeah, it was a mistake.

I was getting calls, but never answered them. I changed my number in my account and the calls stopped.

But I was getting 1-2 pieces of mail PER WEEK from them trying to bring me back.

At first, I was like "you dumbasses want to waste money sending me this much mail, have at it", but eventually it got tiring and I followed the directions in the mail to opt out of the marketing.

But seriously, I do have to wonder how much money they are burning spamming the shit out of peoples' physical mailboxes trying to get subscribers.

I think the only people that spammed me worse than XM Radio was SoFi while I still had student loans.

Protecting children, fighting terrorism, and other hot button rationalizations are definitely true. Those who try to discount those lines are either ignoring real problems or are as guilty of having ulterior motives as those they accuse. That said, there is certainly plenty of reason to question the consequences of violating people's privacy, and likely plenty of reason to question its effectiveness. For example: having all of the evidence in the world is going to do very little if it is buried to protect an individual or an organization.

As for plausible excuses to violate people's privacy ... I am not so sure about that one. It certainly may be true when you look at things at an institutional level. It may also be the cases that everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer, which is to say these organizations may be looking at evidence gathering as an exercise in data harvesting since information technology is currently the most popular tool at hand. While I don't think there is a clear-cut answer at an institutional level, I do believe that having the data at hand opens up many avenues for abuse. Institutions lobbying to collect that data may not have the intent to abuse it, yet individual members of the institution may find excuses to violate people's privacy since the data is at hand.
No I mean natural sciences too, I am a former photovoltaics researcher and know for a fact most articles in the field to be dubious.

It is hard. In a nearby field, I once spent a few months characterizing a high-precision mechanical high-vacuum pressure sensor, astounded that nobody else had done similar work many decades prior.

Turns out I was missing a critical keyword from the early 1900s. All of the researchers in the field from ~1900-1940 used the term "manometer" to refer to even precision vacuum gauges. Once I had it, it unlocked a flood of references to top-notch work.

The real key is a living corpus of scientific knowledge -- people you can ask and solid review papers. It is one of the superpowers of the very-experienced and the well-read to be able to know what has already been done.

If something matters, it will generally get rediscovered in fairly short order. The biggest risk comes with measurements made that either can never be repeated (think changing bio-ethics rules or SN1987A) or can only be repeated at great cost (people are still analyzing high-energy physics experiments from the 1990s and earlier).
>> I don't see how Niemann expects to win any damages in this case

I don't think that's the only reason you bring a slander lawsuit. I think sometimes people do it expecting they will lose, but knowing the defense will be "we have no evidence the things we said were true, but our false statements are technically legal", and making the defendants go on the record with that defense.
I agree, SHA-2 is secure as far as we know. But since it's based on Merkle-Damgard, it permits length-extension attacks - i.e. given H(x), one can derive H(pad(x) || y) without knowing x.

So we need to be careful not to use it in setting where that would be problematic. Or we can use it with workarounds, like double hashing (SHA-256d) or truncating its output.

SHA-3 is sponge based, so its output is always truncated, preventing length-extension attacks. So I think SHA-3 is a better default, though it's fine to use SHA-2 if you know what you're doing.
Av1 helps google and other competitors. It doesn't help apple much.

"It's time to build bitches" vs "it's time to build, bitches"
Whatever you use (I’m guessing Chrome?) is actually Safari under the hood on iOS, not Chromium.

Apple has stated reasons besides “control everything”. Many people dislike/disbelieve the reasons and have objections. It’s not worth litigating here (see: every thread anywhere mentioning iOS or Safari).

The point is, from a technical point of view there is only Safari on iOS. Chrome can’t add new APIs or rendering features that aren’t built into Safari.

And since Safari on iOS is very common and adds things when/if Apple decides, it’s often compared to IE6, rightly or wrongly.

(Not trying to debate the issues, just explaining the comment)
Compared to a jail cell? I think your perspective is wildly off. COVID “lockdown” would be a paradise in comparison.
I made that image![1]. And this is not the first time it's been on the front page of HN either[2]. So I'd like to share some context that I've not mentioned elsewhere before.

My father died from alcoholism in 2004. He made his living writing software (hence why I do too, and why I enjoy HN). But he also, for a short time, taught Astronomy evening classes. I've always felt short-changed by the emotional absence and traumatic passing of my male parent. But the continued virality of this image has been some sort of magical glimmer from the depths of the universe that it was still his shoulders that I stood on in order to reach where I am today. Maybe it was the glint in his eyes every time he showed me the latest APOD image[3], and the deep love with which he would explain their contexts. I made this composite image of Andromeda and the moon precisely because of that extra commentary, or rather I should say, extra love, of the night sky that my father gave me. Seeing it here, sparkling in the "night sky" of the HN front page stirs the same kind of wonder I sometimes feel catching those million year old specks of light above my head. Reminding me that though the universe is mostly cold and dark that doesn't diminish its warmth and brightness.

So figure out what's wrong with the US and why voting out incumbents works for other countries.
Thanks. My take on it was this is about mid terms, and nothing at all really to do with rolling back the war on drugs. The governors "way ahead of him" are in states that are already voting blue. It's meant to put the red states at risk, in a damned if you do, damned if you don't way. It's fairly brilliant honestly, strategically, but tactically I don't think will have measurable effect.
Good luck making those arguments to law enforcement.
Maybe these conversations would be more productive if we didn't make so many unwarranted presumptions of malice on the parts of our opponents.
Every browser on iOS is essentially safari but reskinned. Apple forces browser apps to be WebKit based. That means supporting other codecs, and different types of web technologies, etc, only happens on iOS when WebKit supports it, because all browsers have to use the WebKit that’s provided by apple.
That's an interesting thought: the less you ride the worse you are, so you absolutely have to ride often to maintain your safety profile. I imagine one of the least safe things might be an experienced rider not being able to ride for a while, and not taking that into account. I'm less angry at my neighbors with loud bikes riding all the time, thanks to your comment, because at least they are staying safer than if they just did it once a month or something (and I do like my neighbors, aside from 5am VROOM-VROOM noises).
I have the same setup! Very happy with the Fly pihole + Tailscale combo, but I recently tried the Tailscale + NextDNS combo and I might move to it altogether. Only problem is that NextDNS seems blocked at my university and I am not sure how to solve that yet. Using pihole on Fly with Tailscale works fine.

See I’m not so sure that’s a problem. Many of the things they haven’t added I’m glad they didn’t. I like that they aren’t just rushing to implement everything someone proposes or a competitor ships.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
> proprietary drivers out of the box

This is it for me. Ubuntu works out of the box as well as Windows does with any hardware I've chosen. From what I've heard, the same can't be said for most other distros.

I use Linux because I like being able to tweak my experience easily, but I do not enjoy spending time fiddling with drivers. I'd rather use Ubuntu and disable the things I don't like than use something that's more "pure" out of the box but have to tweak a bunch of configurations to get things to work properly.
