Ask HN: How to Search for Transparent Images?
My daughter is trying to find an image of a sunflower seed with a transparent background right now. I showed her the "filetype:png" trick in google image search to get PNG only results.

However, it seems that in the past few years the results are getting less and less reliable. Images now show checkerboard backgrounds to indicate they are "transparent" but in actuality, they are not transparent. They have an opaque checkerboard background.

Is there an image search service that shows transparent image results, testing the transparency is true before presenting results?
It became the standard _because_ of OpenBSD! They mocked others for decades. People forget that!

I remember SuSE 6 from me youth. It run of the box (having selected a Desktop-Setup) SSH, Telnet, Apache, FTP, Finger, Samba, CUPS and probably other daemons I forgot! You dail-in to the internet and bam: everthing/most was accessible via a public IP. I used to "pwn" boxes with exploits from packetstorm myself.

(Ironically OpenBSD was late to the "easy update"-party. You used to need to patch and compile updates yourself.)
This seems like a huge shakeup. And it's not just Qualcomm who'd be impacted. What's the rationale for this move?

> Furthermore, Qualcomm claims that Arm is telling the OEMs that semiconductor manufacturers will not be able to provide other elements of their Arm-based SOCs that Arm also offers as a licensed product. This includes GPUs, NPUs, and ISP.
That kōan has an obscure codicil. Not many know it, but if this response is given, the student is known to be enlightened, and can skip all further training:

Huongbo looks dazedly up from the smoking ash pile of the former fox spirit and into the eyes of the grinning Baizhang. Speechless at first, he finally stammers "Baizhang. That's quite an act. What do you call it?" Baizhang wraps both fists in Huongbo's beard, pulls him close and screams "The Aristocrats!!"
>Yeah, just think of all those farmers who had no choice but to commit suicide when threshers, steam engines, and milking machines were invented.

Yeah. Many farmers did become redundant. You're not thinking clearly.

>You're confusing a boon with a tragedy. It's a GOOD thing to be made redundant by automation.

You're an extremist thinking all technological advancement is a boon never considering the nuances of situations. It can be good and it can be bad. Obesity for example is the result of improved efficiencies in automated manufacturing of food.

> Now you can do what you were supposed to be doing all along... whatever that is.

What's funny is you don't even know what they're suppose to be doing. What's a human being suppose to do when every ounce of his capability is rendered redundant by machines? What happens to the economy how does it work? You don't know and you think it's a good thing. That's bias right there. Not knowing something and thinking it's good AS IF you know it. You can't know something is good without knowing what that something is.

You know how the economy works right? Let me tell you what it actually is. It's an UNKNOWN thing. Never in the history of the human race has this type of economy existed where most humans no longer need to be productive. If you think everyone is going to have equal access to the benefits of AI and automation history says this isn't what typically happens.

Bloomberg wants to blame Gen Z, but at least where I'm standing the minimum wage hasn't changed since the last time I got this high on a Saturday.

You'd be surprised how many people absolutely lose their pearl clutching minds if someone makes a show of offering to set you up with one of those Good Will Hunting style interviews at yet another Cyberdyne lookin' FFRDC, and instead you go to down city council for the first time in your life and make a show of clapping very loudly every time someone makes a good point.

I think maybe Gen Z should take advantage of this... "stacked" supreme court and see if we can use religion for something other than oppressing the folks who didn't want to date us in high school (and continue to not give a damn if you... live) and make some Novel legal arguments like "voting in a fascist then charging me this much interest is usury, I didn't choose to be born."

But if there is a 1:1 mapping from Freetone to Pantone, shouldn't this still work? Crappy thing is that Pantone wants designers to pay for the ability to associate some area with a specific Pantone hue.

Yes, you chill the air. You get to recover the "cold" from the nitrogen (by using the cold separated nitrogen to chill the incoming air via countercurrent heat exchange), so you're actually only chilling (without recovery) the oxygen.

Cryogenic air separation is done on a vast scale to get gaseous oxygen for the basic oxygen steelmaking process. LOX can be obtained by tapping off some of that rather than also using to chill the incoming air.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history

Trans people have spanned history, and much like people who experience same-sex attraction have experienced a variety of acceptance and rejection based on the culture at the time.

In what way is this piggy backing? In addition, as far as western contexts pre-GLBT, both transgender and same sex attracted people have been related since pre-nazi Germany and both were persecuted by the Nazis (to be clear, this is not an invitation to invoke Godwin's Law, nor me comparing you to a Nazi. It's just an example of a case where gay and trans individuals have been joined together).

E: Fixed spelling and expanded second paragraph.

Guarding the sense doors can be done by sitting in a cave on the side of a mountain. Buddha saw this as useful, for a time, until he realized that coming back and sharing what he gleaned while sitting as also useful. He about died in a river heading back into town, after deciding to end his ascetic lifestyle (and get a bite to eat).

His discovery was more or less about how practicing a good balance between asceticism and sensual indulgence leads to a means of escape through realizing the Four Noble truths:

1. Dukkha: An innate characteristic of existence in the realm of samsara; it is the constant cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

2. Samudaya: The cause and origin of dukkha through tanha. Tanha can be seen as the factor tying us to dukkha, or as a response to dukkha, trying to escape it. It is the result of our unguarded sensory contact with the world, which gives rise to craving and attachment to impermanent states and things.

3. Nirodha: Translated as "cessation," "ending," or "confinement." In the context of the Four Noble Truths, it refers to the idea that dukkha can be ended or contained by renouncing or letting go of tanha.

4. Magga: The path leading to the confinement of tanha and dukkha.

The path consists right understanding (Samma ditthi), right thought (Samma sankappa), right speech (Samma vaca), right action (Samma kammanta), right livelihood (Samma ajiva), right effort (Samma vayama), right mindfulness (Samma sati), and right concentration (Samma samadhi).

Now we ask GPT-3 about something very specific using the above as a prompt:

Human> Theorize on the loss of the ability to recall imagery and audio, in mind, in the population as related to the path in Buddhism.

GPT-3> There is no real answer to this question as it is purely speculative. However, one could theorize that the loss of the ability to recall imagery and audio could be related to the path in Buddhism in a few different ways. First, it could be argued that the loss of these abilities is a result of the practice of mindfulness and concentration. When one is focused on the present moment and not letting their mind wander, they may be less likely to remember things from the past. Additionally, it could be argued that the loss of these abilities is a result of the practice of renunciation. When one is trying to let go of attachment to things in the world, they may be less likely to hold on to memories of past experiences. Finally, it could be argued that the loss of these abilities is a result of the practice of right effort. If one is constantly trying to improve their mental state and focus on the present moment, they may eventually lose track of memories from the past.

Human> So, forgetting may be a useful trait?

GPT-3> There is no easy answer to this question. On one hand, forgetting may be seen as a useful trait because it can help one to focus on the present moment and let go of attachment to things in the past. On the other hand, forgetting may be seen as a hindrance because it can prevent one from learning from their past experiences. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether forgetting is a useful trait or not.

The relevant concept is called "chain of custody"; essentially you're trusting every person who ever handled the sample to have correctly documented where they got it and what they did with it.

Germany, IANAL but was curious because I've seen it differently here: "donations" that are clearly not tax deductible, the only real test for that wird in some sense.

Lawyer Google tells me donations are just money gifts. Some organizations that are approved can hand you a recipe that allows you to tax deduct it. And I think those organizations also don't need to pay taxes on it.

TIL. Not sure how well that resonates in Sweden though.
The problem with the 12c Platinum, is that it was a "ground-up" rewrite, and is actually slower than the early 80s 12c.
"Late" support. That's easy to say when you're not the one needing to use hardware that Linux doesn't support a decade later. Or the more mainstream features that aren't supported for 3-5 years after they went Mai stream.

In counterpoint, the wisdom and knowledge that Watts delivers has massively helped me out of chronic mental health problems (being the middle class white target audience).

The thing I really enjoy about Watts, and what seems this article seem moot, is that lazy mysticism is half the point. He is offering a counterweight to social pressure and an 'age of anxiety' by suggesting new points of view in which desperate clawing and ladder climbing are absurd. He says very clearly not to take him too seriously, because he's not offering a new totalizing point where you should be anxious about nothing - just showing that there is an alternative, and you are poorer for not having considered it.

And if that doesn't work for you, no worries, he's a lazy mystic not a preacher.

Lithium Ion batteries do burn much more readily when fully charged than when discharged -- this is because they self-discharge rapidly at elevated temperatures, which provokes an even greater reaction of the materials inside of them. Specifically, if the cathode of NMC/NCA batteries gets hot enough, it will decompose into oxygen and really kick off the graphite + electrolye burning.
Discharged batteries are tougher to get to burn since it's harder to heat the cathode to that point externally so oxygen has to come from the environment.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I am (was?) addicted to ideas.

I love to create things and think of interesting situations that could potentially take off. The idea itself is thrilling! There's a self fuelling feedback loop.

But I've learnt to temper myself a bit. Great ideas are common, but to even just implement one "fully" will take many years to then sell on to other people and get investments and so on, not withstanding time it takes to maintain. Something I can't balance with a full job and kids. (Funnily enough, my current job is maintaining software for another person's great idea, but less risky, more upfront money, and more focused on what I want to do, so why do I want to do my own?).

I sometimes think I should start my own software shop so that I can action ideas, but realistically this is more risky, not less.

Because I'm staring at screens all day during work hours, I really cannot bring myself to make prototypes. So instead I just look to fill my pen-and-paper journal with ideas and wireframes and things. I'm thinking of getting an eink tablet to digitise the process.

This helps me to get the idea down and out of the system, and then I look at it a bit more objectively and realise it does or doesn't work, or that I wasn't understanding the original problems fully, or that it was a hammer looking for a nail. If anything seems sensible and is low effort I'll do more to validate it, writing down why it might fail.

I think this helps me the most, and I have an index of ideas I can refer back to when I'm out in the park.

It's impossible to get AAA games (and most AA games) without some form of DRM (with some notable exceptions), the same as high(er) budget media productions.

The Kindle was already 8 years old when I got it, isn't it better to re-use it with more current software? The same with router hardware that gets exploited to flash OpenWRT.

It's very hard to get a modern Smartphone (with acceptable cameras, battery life, performance and software availability) with manufacturer-intended root access.

While I agree that people should adopt Rust (and other approaches) for their security porperties, it's not hard to see how it may lead to exploits getting rarer and to more categories of devices & content that can't be reasonably used in a "free" way, even if not intended by the manufacturer. Thus making it much harder to have control over the devices you own (without becoming some kind of luddite).
It's not enough. I used to always skip the ad of the canonical site I was looking for to avoid incurring them a cost when I knew what I was searching for.

So you have to click the ad.

Not only seen as clerical, the women who did the work were collectively known as "computers". These computers filled vital roles during both world wars, being tasked with computing the trajectories of shells fired from cannons in the first to working with the mathematicians of Bletchley Park, in England, with solving the decryption of the German Enigma machine. Even as late as the 1960s, women, primarily black women, were employed by NASA to perform a variety of complex and utterly essential calculations that predicted where the rockets were to go during the manned space program. It's really only been within the last 20 years are so that they have achieved the recognition and acclaim they most assuredly earned.

> I'll assume it implies a 90% chance the evidence says the defendant is innocent

Evidence isn't there to _prove_ anything, else we wouldn't need to ask anyone to be a juror. That's why we use "preponderance of evidence" and "beyond reasonable doubt" as our metric.

It also assumes that all juries, once they see bite mark analysis, presume it's magic then simply decide they're going to convict at that moment and shut off their brains for the rest of the trial. Do people really believe this is something that happens?

> A 99% probability of innocence is probably about right in that part of the criminal prosecution decision tree.

I find it very difficult to believe there's a single piece of evidence in a trial that could convince anyone of this. The totality of the evidence is what must be considered.

A single test tells you about a single sample in isolation with respect to it's time and method of collection. It doesn't definitely prove anything about an event, and I'm astonished that you could see it that way; unless you're operating under the presumption that all District Attorneys are corrupt to the point of no longer caring about justice and truth.

There are certainly examples of corruption, but to presume it's the norm to the extent that a single piece of evidence presented in a particular fashion would cause you to turn _your_ back on justice and truth as a matter of rote course.

How is that an improvement?
