HKSV doesn't use any storage, but I'm not sure if that's available in the cheapest plan. I use scrypted to push all my UniFi cameras into HomeKit for free recordings and identification of people/packages.

Looks like it's unlimited only on the higher plan -

For $0.99 per month, iCloud+ will offer 50GB of iCloud storage and support for recording video from one HomeKit Secure Video camera. For $2.99 per month, iCloud+ will offer 200GB of storage and support for up to five HomeKit Secure Video cameras. For $9.99 per month, you get 2TB of iCloud storage and support for unlimited HomeKit Secure Video cameras.
It's the idea of both at once that's implausible. Making it more walkable would gentrify it and raise rents? Sure, I can see that. But the idea that this would also somehow increase crime? Pedestrians are much more able to see or intervene in a crime than drivers are.
You're responding to a post that links to the Keccak designers saying that the padding change isn't nefarious. You have to be able to do better than "NIST bad" in comments on threads like these.
I've seen several papers with the opposite conclusion. Why do we only see the lab leak hypothesis front paged on HN?
I don't understand the comments regarding delayed live stream. Splitting video feed, visually analysing a board from it, and feeding it feeding into an engine, are all rather straight forward things to do. And delayed feed for conspirators seems redundant.
I'm not saying it's a "death sentence", just that physically, your body tends to deteriorate with age. The situation isn't a binary one: being young, your body is much more forgiving, which eases parenting, especially if you want to have more than one child.

So yeah, it's better to start having children early than late. It doesn't mean that you'll be crippled in bed because you had them late (aside from the fertility issues).

Also, Hacker News is essentially composed of well-off, western people working in white collar jobs. Of course, those people will have easy and healthy lives; I wouldn't say the same for a mason or a cashier, and those people exist.

> So you absorb 3 to generate 3/1, then you absorb 7 to generate (3×7+1)/(7×1+0)=22/7, then you absorb 15 to generate (15×22 + 3)/(15×7 + 1) = 333/106

The OP did not have the sequence of best rational approximations derived from the continued fraction, but

3/1 = 3.0
22/7 = 3.142857142857143
311/99 = 3.1414141414141414
355/113 = 3.1415929203539825

That is decimal-based, picking, for any number of digits, the best (according to some criterion) approximation of pi using that number of decimal digits.

They skipped 333/106, for example, because the better approximation 355/113 uses the same number of decimal digits, and included 311/99 because it happens to (just) need 5 decimal digits.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I used the horn on any of my motorcycles in two decades of riding (>100kmi, various situations, not much commute, less in the dark). In dangerous situation where honking might have helped, I typically was busy to either break or steer out of harms way. Aside that horns on m/c tend to be meek. They seem to be installed only because some law requires them.
Well oops. I'm not anti-nuclear, but it seems a valid question

I'm thinking of a bar in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, back in the day, where the owner got tired of repairing destruction and lined the whole bathroom with stainless steel plate, to which he welded stainless steel sinks, urinals, and toilets (as used in prisons).

At the end of the evening, he'd take the firehose in there to clean up.
I can’t imagine many engineering teams that would hold up very well if 75% of the team vanished —- you would lose so much knowledge of your own codebase for starters, and morale would be a disaster. 90% of those who remained would start thinking of switching jobs out of pure pessimism.

Then again, I bet it won’t happen. The actual cuts will be far smaller once it’s actually time to do it… Unless his finances are too strained I guess
"husband stitch" ngrams:

Someone recently linked to a weird competitive debate culture, where the rules of the form apparently caused people to start always talking about nuclear war, for reasons that I don't fully understand but are probably something to do with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_calculus

I immediately thought of the effective altruism movement and their fixation on existential threats and wonder how much overlap there is. It feels like with any system of rules, there comes a point when you're exceeding the original intent of the rules, and you can choose to double-down on that, or expand the rules.

So, is the most pressing world problem, actually a meta question like, why aren't the worlds most pressing problems being solved automatically? At what point does coming up with that better (even if imperfect) system beat out better and better answers to the wrong question?
the bigger problem is we have lost the true meaning of "science" or rather the "scientific method" as a huge part of forensic "science" has no connection with the "scientific method" upto and including the foundational "science" of fingerprints which is more of interpretive art than science

I wonder a bit on the "provide unlimited food and use that to determine what they should eat" - if applied to children we'd learn they should subsist entirely on a diet of candy and soda.
Newbury Street was already a pretty narrow, notoriously parking unfriendly street--with a lot of stores/restaurants--so selectively making a street like that pedestrian only makes a lot of sense. Minimal impact from a traffic and parking perspective and a win for pedestrians. It also directly connects to parks.

Shutting down (a small section of) Memorial Drive on Sundays in the summer also seems like a win. There's a parallel road on the other side of the river that can pretty much substitute at a lower traffic time, but you almost certainly wouldn't want to cut that capacity at rush hour on a weekday when both sides of the river are already horrible in terms of traffic capacity.
I used to agree about paying rent for my old files until I realized that it costs me anyways to ensure those files are available over a long time.
> So since no one has mentioned it yet, you could rewrite this stuff in rust as a poor man's substitute. It will catch some of the aame things, but ultimately there is no substitute for test coverage with sanitizers.

That's backwards. You'll catch more cases with a Rust-style type system that naturally checks everything, than with sanitisers that can only check the paths that get executed in tests.
Oh shit. I better check my native Ruby extension that I believe uses the reference C code.
Why not CCTV? Having video footage to subpoena after a crime is committed, then analyze, seems less surveillance society than going straight to a real-time, individual tracking data store.
That's the point I'm trying to make. The popularity of having NVR systems with multiple cameras, rather than just a Doorbell makes it viable to think people would want this option over a supercharged Doorbell — The idea to process object detection at the doorbell is kind of ludicrous.
For the same reasons that car buyers enjoy more consumer protections than purchasers of most other goods. Because cars are incredibly expensive, are necessary for life in America, and because there's huge incentives for manufacturers and dealers to screw the buyers.

People occasionally want to go to places other than the city where they live.
Or, when a dog's "evidence" is used to get a warrant. The argument is that the right to privacy does not exist for illegal actions, and a dog will only alert for illegal contraband. So a baseless fishing expedition without any reasonable justification is rendered legal based on pseudoscience.

Cars don't have to be as complicated and expensive as they are now, especially with electric cars becoming ubiquitous. You don't -need- tesla level electronics and extra grafted on garbage. You need a vehicle that will get you from A to B. I believe that some company will come along (probably Chinese or Indian) that will grok this idea and come up with something that we can fix and they can sell for a profit. Battery tech will only get better and cheaper. I think we can do this :) . The ICE age is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean DIY has to.

Wouldn't surprise me if equipment failures of even well maintained vehicles can get you to 10x. Just random failure on a motorcycle and you go splat.

I was riding during daytime, with many years experience, safely while going in a precisely straight line and not changing speed. Nice, 90% tires with rain tolerant tread and perfectly maintained vehicle. All drivers around me driving safely, me driving safely, rainy but good conditions. Hit a slippery patch on the road, that was somehow angled such that my rear tire slipped at an angle and I was almost instantaneously thrown high-side from the bike, at 70mph from an interstate.

Full body suit, helmet, gloves. I walked away without even a scratch (I still can't believe how). But almost died; only survived by the fact I was thrown towards the curb instead of towards the fast lane of traffic.

I'd been in lots of crashes before, but usually because I did dumb shit. This time really shocked my conscious because there was just no explanation, no bad drivers, no bad vehicles, no dumb shit, nothing remarkably bad with the road, nothing I can assign fault to anyone or anything. It was a solid week before I got back on the bike after that; usually after a crash I'm back on within minutes if it's still rideable. Impossible to prevent, and no way something like that can happen in a car.
Exactly. But that won't change the 'respectable' cover story.
You'd think so but the reality is probably a little bit more complicated for a legacy software codebase like Twitter.

I agree the GOP has quite a bit of support, even when they lose an election they still get close. However, it’s important to understand what is actual support vs designing your platform for the system vs tweaking the system.

The 2016 presidential election was R 62,984,828 to D 65,853,514 in votes with 55.7% turnout of registered voters. But in that exact same election the house votes went 63,182,073 R vs 61,765,832 D. In other words the R house got +200 thousand votes and D lost over 4 million votes in the house.

That kind of advantage is common in recent elections. They lost in 2020 at R 72,760,036 vs D 77,529,619 in the house, but was still much better for them than the presidential election at R 74,216,154 vs D 81,268,92.
I like the idea of combining this with the recent ideas around semi-automatically distributing funds to dependencies.

So these all seem like core dependencies and sure, you can just have a human being decide what is a core dependency, but if we could automate that in a way that lets new core dependencies slowly develop and attract funding and investment, that would be cool.
I don't disagree, everyone is different.

But so is having kids when you're in your twenties compared to having them when you're mid-midlife crisis in your forties.
> This seems like a really straightforward thing to test. If I get a thousand people together, have them each bite 10 human skin analogues, identify the participants and each of their bite records with a GUID, can bite mark analysts map bite records to biters and with what accuracy?

Not quite the same thing. Because that assumes you already know it was one of those people.

More appropriately you should ask the labs "does this bite mark fit any of these 100 people", where none of those people actually caused the bite mark.

Will the lab recognize it was none of them? If they just falsely identify one out of the hundred, that extrapolates to millions of people.
I don't think they believe that. But the only way you get anywhere is by not making ad hominem attacks.
Easy to say. But to the extent that it’s easy to get rid of judges they can’t be an effective check on the other branches.
Because it's a set of massive engineering systems, applications, advertising market, social institution, etc.? Big, complex sociotechnical systems require a lot of human beings to keep moving along.
My last intel laptop had a whining from the cpu, apparently triggered by it switching between q states or something. Reddit said it was a common issue with that model. I returned it and tried an amd chip next and this new laptop is super quiet.

My question: is this common, or was it a coincidence?
That's interesting and somewhat surprising. I'm not knowledgeable about battery design by any means, but I would have thought that there would be a better way to make a battery pack for a car than connecting thousands of small batteries together.

Why does porn consumption tend to result in less sex between couples? I see three common possibilities:

1. It increases arousal, which would hopefully increase sexual desire.

2. People use it as more of a "complete solution" / substitution.

3. People use it as a tool to avoid confronting and dealing with the inevitable problems and complexities which are bound to arise in any long-term relationship.

To me, pornography seems like such a poor substitute for real life connection and experiences, I've found it doesn't replace anything beyond, uh, basic "maintenance" needs. Porn is enjoyable, but pales in comparison to a real interaction with a real live person.

Between this and the depressing macro-economic climate, our generation has a tough road ahead.
I'm going to beat its reliability (and successfully do so) because the complexity of my stack is less than 1% of Amazon's. I have way less moving parts (and complex interactions between them) to worry about than Amazon. My only liability is hardware failure, and it turns out that stuff has gotten pretty reliable nowadays.

Am I able to beat Amazon on their wide range of services? Absolutely not - if you're looking for FAANG-level scale, you're talking to the wrong person. But for the handful of services I do need (HTTP LB, app servers, relational database and cache), I beat them because I only need to deliver very specific services and can schedule the risky operations (maintenance, hardware upgrades, etc) around my business' needs, something AWS can't do because as a global provider any time they pick for maintenance would inevitably clash with someone's business-critical hours. Turns out most companies also only require a small chunk of what AWS offers, so the rest of the AWS control plane's complexity and its global scale is actually a major liability.

> AWS has over a decade of experience and a ton of full-time dev ops to make complicated cloud usage easy.

And yet that one time a client's RDS instance ran out of disk space, it got stuck in "modifying" for 12+ hours (I assume an AWS operator eventually manually logged in and fixed it) with no way for us to recover, forcing us to restore a backup and reconstruct missing data from logs to bring our service back online in a timely manner.

Would it fail the same way on bare-metal? Yes, but at least I can SSH in and fix it immediately. Not to mention, the only reason it ran out of space is because AWS' pricing forced us to be very conservative with storage, where as the bare-metal machines I rent - for far cheaper than AWS' offerings - come with terabytes of storage as standard so this incident would've never happened to begin with.
It runs great on even a 10 year old machine these days.

Parkitect is the modern spiritual successor to rct1+2, while Planet Coaster is more like 3. The thing I (and some others) don't like about Rct3+planet coaster is that they're park painters where they're more focused on decoration and making a pretty park and the game is trivially easy, vs rct1+2 and parkitect where you generally have to put some work into making a profitable park and there's a bit more focus on the management and simulation.

Parkitect also has multiplayer.
Rust isn't perfect. UB is a bug in rust, but it occasionally has bugs. Ideally you'd do rust and asan with good unit tests. And yes, if you only picked one, it should be rust, but don't just pick one. And just because you are using rust is no excuse to skip static analysis like prusti, coverage with gcov, llvm, or tarpaulin, and certainly not unit tests.
They know exactly what they're writing. They're not saying it because it's true; they're saying it because saying anything else would leave them open to certain rhetorical attacks from the people willing to manipulate their audience to get these bills passed.

Remember: the goal of political speech isn't to convince reasonable people of anything; reasonable people don't need convincing, they just need facts. The goal of political speech is to (somehow) convince unreasonable people of things. Which requires, for a start, showing deference to what they already believe.
There have always been and always will be misinformed and poorly educated people who believe all kinds of ridiculous things with no factual basis. A healthy democracy doesn't deal with these people by declaring their opinions illegal.

Once you have the state deciding and enforcing what is and isn't true, any hope for a liberal democracy is gone.
