Why do demos need Google or other login ? This is such a friction . I should be able to get access to demos w/o having to login .
Also the use case for pre sales is interesting. Has anyone really had any success during pre-sales for an enterprise customer agreeing to installing a collector on their applications ?
Trackballs are great, but the reality is they are bulky. It was probably best to switch to a touchpad. Those of us who are interested in other pointing devices can always bring one along.
Good tomography meant that we get useful solid models in a form that is easy to interact with and pull numeric dimensional data from. Is the software separate from the hardware, or coupled?

Good resolution is also important. Say I want to analyze something the size of a can of soup and get to tens of microns resolution.

Zeiss and Nikon are not cheap options. Is anyone out there bringing the cost down?
Malcolm Gladwell explains why it's statistically FAR better to be among the smartest kids at a 2nd or 3rd tier school than struggling to get into some elite institution where you will be below average among your peers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UEwbRWFZVc&t=220s

If you're borrowing money to pay for a degree, going to a school where you are not at the very top of the class is really taking a big risk.
Create a VM and install it, see if you like it. It's based on Ubuntu/Debian, so it's not that different to Ubuntu proper. I like it, but to each their own.
Sir: surely you're not suggesting that we (humanity) may not be interested in metaphysics (the fundamental nature of reality (both physically materialized as well as counterfactual), the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, consciousness, possibility, etc), but that metaphysics may be interested in us?

Because if you are, I have some unfortunate news: metaphysics is woo woo. And if you do not believe me, try doing a survey and see what results you get. Or, if you do not trust the opinion of the general public, try also running surveys within scientific and Rationalist communities, or even here on HN, and see if your results are substantially different.
note that this is a perfect example where you should use scaled integers. you'd get 4000x more precision.

I'm Kweb's creator, happy to answer any questions.
You can vouch for comments to unflag them by clicking on the timestamp. I have done so multiple times when it was clear the author had made an interesting point but did so in an unduly hostile manner. However, the ratio of flagged comments that didn't deserve their fate is incredibly low.

The free speech martyrdom angle makes sense on paper, and it's true that there are users that act as commissars, but the practical reality is that no interesting discussion actually flows from the flagged content. This is something every online community eventually learns through experience.

Most of the time, the abstract idea of free speech is the only merit these comments have, and from that we can also ask if flagging is not an expression of speech in and of itself.
Same but with Moderna 2x. Had Covid three weeks ago and it came back for me but is slowly fading.
The problem is that the story is short.

Compare those CoDs to e.g Cyberpunk which I needed like 40 hours to complete

It's a video game, that is, it renders in real time on hardware costing a couple thousand dollars max.

It's not trying to look impeccably realistic cinema level CGI, but it's damn impressive given the limitations of a video game, and of gaming hardware.

True. I did use correct qpwgraph (with lowercase q), and don't even know who broke the title as I did not touch it at all.
A more charitable interpretation is that a student body made up of too much of any one thing is not good. Part of the value proposition for going away to university for four years is to spend that time surrounded by diverse and interesting people.

That doesn't excuse the actual racism that we've seen in admissions, of course.
I know this was technically possible in Rust (the game, not the language) circa 2015 (when I last played). I'm not sure how often it was used to trigger bans or local law enforcement action, but I wouldn't put it past people in that community. I stopped playing specifically due to the community's toxicity.
You make a really good point.

However, nobody would "frame" someone for deception's sake. There's gotta be an underlying motive. If the deception works to achieve that goal (or even 90% of it) I'd say its pretty successful.

I agree it's a weird gray area though and you're correct that a "perfect framing" would never be found out.
The photogrammetry of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is also impressive to just look at.
Maybe I'm just naive, but I found this principle overly cynical.

For example, the "sociopathic" intern can also be described as someone with healthy amount of disrespect to existing organizational structures and tries to bring innovation to a dinosaur firm. He took the risk and suffered the consequences like a man.
Alaskan moose stand about 7 feet tall at the shoulder when mature, alot of that is just long legs, but a complete bull moose can easily be 3/4 ton.

most collisions with cars end up clipping the legs out under it and the moose goes straight through the windshield at whatever speed you were moving.

for those reasons and others large trucks are the rule, and cars are a risk.

moose here are mostly crepuscular, active during dawn and dusk, and chillin in between. they are very hard to spot except for eyes reflecting light [catlike]

Its common to have high intensity long throw LED lights[i call'em moose blasters] mounted on your rig so you have a chance to see them, and have time to react.

there is a list here of experiences that you must compleate, to be considered, a seasoned skookum alaskan, moose collision is one of them.
I'm not sure that wasn't the original intention for many if not most of the people advocating those positions.
The near-perfectly-straight vertical division in the video would seem to make it particularly easy to fake, especially when combined with the fact that you don't see the other side of the door.

He can just shoot 7 consecutive arrows at the back of a door, then leave the camera running as he shoots 7 consecutive arrows through the keyhole (with the tip starting out in the keyhole so he can't miss), and then composite the footage of the arrows going through the keyhole on to the footage of the arrows coming out of the bow.

The time gaps in between the arrows will be different, but nothing much is happening to the back of the door during this time, so you can just slow down or speed up the "back of door" footage during the dead time to line it up.

(I'm not saying he's done that -- I think it's real -- but that is how I would do it).

I'm not sure about the audio, but it doesn't seem too much of a stretch to fake the audio as well.
Hillary's email server?
Modern renderers:

Use the GPU to decide what to render, and in a growing number of cases, will cull triangles in compute (software) instead of letting the fixed pipeline do it. The vertex shader feeds parameters to the fragment shader even if the triangle is culled (depth or backfacing), so with vertex counts climbing, there is a lot of dead time spent feeding fragment shaders that are never ran.

Render at a lower resolution and temporally upsample to a higher resolution.

Using low overhead apis that optimize command recording performance (DX12, Vulkan) and transfer / memory access.

Multithread all the things.

Obsess over data locality and compression.

This is a thought-provoking read. I'm currently going through Meta onboarding for the third time (once before as an intern and once full-time). The first time it was exciting; the second time it was interesting but seemed quaint, but still, neat for a first-time job; the third time it feels like a pipeline for molding the exact sort of Clueless people the article describes.
I actually think this would be a good way to run admissions at ultra-selective elite universities - places like Harvard or Oxford where getting in or not can make a huge impact on the entire rest of your life. Everyone knows the evaluation process is bullshit and highly dependent on luck, so why pretend otherwise? Just discard those applicants who don't meet some minimum objective standard (SAT scores or whatever) then pick the remaining names out of a hat.

It's never going to happen, but still. If people don't like it then maybe the solution is to improve the quality of other universities so that getting rejected from Harvard isn't such a big blow in the first place.
A selection process based on academic achievement alone yields a graduate more highly valued by corporate America [1].

Private universities should be able to use whatever criteria they want (as long as there is no illegal discrimination) including "building communities" and "shaping the student body". (It's a free country after all!) But public universities must use objective criteria. Students need to be able to control their own destiny through hard work. That's a basic principle of fairness that should apply in this land of opportunity. No "shaping" of the student body by universities that receive funding from taxpayers, because that is unfair to students. Imagine being denied admission by the only good public university in your state, not because your grades or test scores are not good enough, but because you didn't fit in whatever "shape" the university decided is appropriate for that year! For more on this see [2].

Do you happen to know which OS Phil was using, when he lost his private key and what the exact circumstances were? This is a nice story to be told, but without details it is not worth that much.

I noticed in some of the screenshots that Tokyo System House (TSH), which produced the game for NEC, sublicensed Tetris from Bullet Proof Software (BPS), which licensed it from Elorg (Электро́норгтехника).

In 1988, BPS produced Tetris for many computer platforms in Japan, including FM-7, MSX2, PC-8800, PC-9800, X1, X68000, and Family Computer (NES). Some of these are NEC products. By 1991, when the word processor version was released, Tetris had been ported to even more machines including TRS-80, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, and Macintosh.

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

So I imagine the high polish of the game is due to existing industry experience and references.
When the bill is issued, round the amount due and recorded to the nearest penny (integer) since this is what is being paid.

Do this continuously and consistently and you can easily avoid the "mystery" penny problem.

Very few locations produce chips, but some things like real estate or food production are hyper-local.

I tried "combine only when full" mode for a while in Windows 7 and 10, thinking it would be the best of both worlds, but quickly realized that

1. usually I have too much open + the title captions aren't good enough for the tiny snippet that fits to be useful

2. keeping my pinned apps in predictable places is more important than saving a click occasionally

3. if I really want to see all the open windows with their titles, alt-tab or windows+tab works better for this

So I don't miss it on Windows 11, although I don't like the default centered taskbar (sacrificing (2) to move stuff around all the time for no good reason) and change this setting.
Hey tried to send you an email but the recipient's address was rejected because the address does not exist.
I jave had the misfortune of being tangentially involved in two separate CSAM investigations, and in both cases, the inventory of items seized was pretty detailed, including serial numbers when they were legible.

In one case the suspect was innocent and no evidence was planted to try to convict. (The daughter of the woman who made the initial report admitted several months later that her mom had made the report up in order to bolster her child custody case- there were no consequences for the woman who made the false report...)

In the other case, the suspect admitted guilt forthrightly.

Now, I can't say what the norm is across the country/world, just my own experience with the system.
It's interesting therefore worthy imho. Not every post has to geeked out to the max

With you, and I hate the destructiveness of it. I notice thought, it's those who have least to offer are first to criticise. Look at the comments of those who are genuinely good (eg. BeeOnRope here on HN) and you see a far more tolerant and constructive responses.
I could maybe see this working if you have a year or so to do it.

Make it look like a game or something but copy incriminating stuff in the background. Then "tip" the authorities a year later, the person would probably forget all about it.

If it's too soon they might still have the USB stick. No idea if that would pose an issue tho.

I dunno tho. Not a cyber security guy or lawyer, but interesting "problem" to think about, haha.
It also takes a lot of expertise to understand why certain subjects are introduced in intro courses, and to frame those ideas in a way that will help those students learn more advanced topics.

It doesn't require Ph.D. level knowledge, but it helps a lot, especially when you're talking to one of those few students with more and deeper questions about the subject.

"People seem to gain something by trying to be the person hardest and last to impress. "

It's not considered positive to be impressed easily and often, that's similar to how a child acts, which equates with immature for most people. Also, if you are hard to impress then you must have experienced more than those easily impressed. For some it's a way to appear superior with just a simple opinion. Basically arrogant assholes.

The alternative is cynicism but then again that's also sometimes used to seem elite.
I doubt that video of a vaccine is going to immunize anyone. Better to get the actual jab.

I saw your posts about this searching through the archives; I'm not opposed to learning about anything, maybe you have some additional info or context, since you've posted about this several times? Thank you, appreciate your sharing, I'll take a look and see if there's anything to this, at least as an option at some point.
Thanks for that. It's a shame no one posted the original nature link previously.

> How likely are you to go to the doctor if you symptom is reduced libido and you have no recent major medical issues?

What's your estimation on how likely this is? If someone had just recovered from the worst pandemic in a century, would they self-assess as having no recent major medical issues? It's an interesting question.
And this relates to long COVID how? Maybe you should post this as a story rather than hijacking comment thread of another story..

ocaml.org’s new website is packed with lots of great early intros.

most learners eventually gravitate towards Real World OCaml https://dev.realworldocaml.org/ for additional learning.

Unfortunately, the learning resources for different domains out there isn’t as highly curated or prolific as, say, rust. If you do web dev like me, it takes a bit more work to find the tools and put them together. But the language itself lends itself well to systems level programming.

Fortunately, the forum is a great help.

Ah, the irony of music lyrics explains the inversion. (TMBG has always been in sort of a blind spot for me.)

FWIW you can hand wave away the existence of overt governments with the same rationale. Identifying and naming emergent structures is how we make sense of the chaos.

I mean take google for example. Who is paying money to have bots come on here and claim "google starts 100 projects and never finishes them" ?

Everyone knows that, because everyone is/was a user of those projects, lol.

Yes please keep up the hope. As I mentioned in a deep thread below, the causal link between EBV and MS only got established in 2022 so there is hope that in 10 years time you will live through major medical advances.

Ask HN: Is Google a Monopoly?
Do you see Google as a monopoly? I have noticed a lot of behaviors by Google that seem like a monopoly. There is no way to reach a person for support, even when you are paying, for most of Google's products. For example, I was trying to run Google Ads to help my wife and I find a pregnancy surrogate, but my ads were incorrectly automatically flagged for violating Google's birth control policy, which stated no birth control products in Muslim countries like Iraq and Egypt and no mention of the USA. But my appeal was denied even though that is for an entirely different category of ads in entirely different countries. No way to talk to a person to explain or ask questions. Super frustrating. Has anyone else been frustrated by Google's monopoly?
>If you feel that describing your painting to a blind person is beneath your dignity as an artist

It has nothing to do with dignity it has to do with artistic vision. If you don't want to present your art in ways you don't intend it to be consumed, you shouldn't be forced. If someone else wants to do it for others, that's fine. You could even start a business taking art forms and describing them for people who can't appreciate them in their natural setting.

Why is it that when a broker shows an apartment they can be expected & liable for showing illegal units/terms/etc, but when Big Tech apps which replace their jobs at scale do it.. "it's hard" so "they shouldn't be expected to"?

It really isn't that hard, and they don't even try because it would reduce their revenue. We can argue if they need to enforce block by block HOA & condos/coops rules.. but they aren't even trying at more macro levels like state/town laws.

I live part of the year in a large summer town with ~100k residents.
It has clear, well known rental laws that have been on the books longer than AirBnB existed. For example the minimum lease term is 2 weeks. Yet, of course, if I go to AirBnB and search in town, there are 100 homes being offered by the day. Meanwhile if I go to any of the brokerages to be shown rentals, they only offer month/summer/year length rentals.. because its the law.

At UW they call it "race equity" [1]. Meaning that you can't have more than x% of Asian Americans in the UW if the percentage of Asian Americans in the community is x%. The Supreme Court will soon decide if this practice is legal [2], and it is going to be interesting either way!
