While a good set of initial conditions is indeed critical, having a smaller model is helpful for modeling micro climates such as the ones you see in the Bay Area. At this resolution you can have a much more detailed representation of relief and water, which are two of the biggest drivers behind the beautiful dynamics we observe here.

Kalman filtering is only one part of the process, and plays a critical role during the data assimilation part. Classical Kalman filtering is optimal for Gaussian-distributed linear dynamical systems, but needs tweaks for non Gaussian distributions and non linear systems.

Classical NWP models for instance will integrate the primitive partial differential equations in time and space and run various parameterizations (which can be in some cases even more expensive than integrating the primitive equations). ECMWF on their end use IFS, which is a spectral method for solving the PDEs.

The whole process of solving these models accurately has definitely been some of the most fascinating science and engineering I’ve had the pleasure to work with. It’s extremely humbling :)

Biomass is the whole mass of life beings, a standard and common measure that represents the energy contained in a particular group.

I don't think it's fair that you were downvoted, at least without that person elaborating on why.

I would tend to agree that larger, more pluralistic societies may have a larger downside to the ability to rapidly changing their laws. As one group gets within power, they have the ability to make lots of changes, only to be upset by the next group that ascends to power. The U.S. has a history of voting out the current party in power and that constant whipsawing of policy might be a recipe for instability.
Folks stuck on Plex don't know what they're missing, and usually pay for Plex Pass.
Maybe, but Apple Watch was a device you could buy on day one and be pretty confident in - at least in terms of what you were getting and that it would work for what it is.

Apple Glass at $1k is not something I could buy day one even if I really liked the promo video. I'd need to see some reviews after weeks and how well the first version works before jumping in - I imagine a lot of people would feel that way - because it seems like something that could so easily just not quite work.

Did anyone ever snapped that "thin piece"? It is not that thin, and in fact, I never managed to break even the much thinner micro-USB tongue.

I have broken USB sockets, and seen broken sockets, but every time, it was either wear or the connector being torn off a PCB (they are not always mounted properly). The only times I have seen a broken tongue was with USB-A connectors (the big ones), probably from a plug being forcefully inserted the wrong way. Micro-USB doesn't have this problem because of the shape of the connector prevents it and USB-C is reversible.
>I would believe that more if it weren't constantly done in front of TV cameras. This is about drawing attention to yourself because you can't convince someone with rational arguments.

I don't disagree. I don't think the two are mutually-exclusive. The public performance is very much part of the quest for transcendence, and has its equivalents in the other forms of radical ideology.

> Ultimately it's technology, rather than tantrums, that will determine how food is grown and factories are powered.

Quite. And to your point, the interesting question now becomes: why are they throwing tantrums instead of useful work?

Every theory I have seen falls into one of two buckets:

1. They're incapable of it, or being undermined

2. It's not actually a solution they're after

I think it's overwhelmingly #2. Moreover, I think the thing they're actually looking for is exactly transcendent meaning.

P.S.: Is this true? I can see how it could be, but I was not aware of this. That's quite ironic, if indeed true.
> No tax is withheld at vest time. At least in the majority of cases/usually.

My last two employers deducted shares at vest as tax. This is in US, btw. I am surprised it isn't the common practice. The only problem was that the withholding rate was too low for my effective tax rate which means I always have to pay estimated taxes.
Which is what I feel like yelling when I remember how much power just those three companies wield over everyone’s lives.
Kodi is pretty solid too but I'm not sure if they've added things like background music and other features yet.
> This is exactly the case for CD Projekt Red. They built their own engine (RED Engine) for Witcher 1 and built on top of it for the two Witcher sequels and also pushed it to its very limits for Cyberpunk 2077.

Close. REDEngine was created for Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. Witcher 1 was built on a modified copy of Bioware's Aurora Engine (the Neverwinter Nights engine).

REDEngine versions were:

REDEngine 1: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

REDEngine 2: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – Enhanced Edition

REDEngine 3: The Witcher 3

REDEngine 4: Cyberpunk 2077
Should developers come together with a foundation for software distribution ? An appstore, members are individual or corporations, governance through election of a board by the members (see Debian and Openstreetmap)... And a little help from the European Comission who'll be happy to have a neutral channel to impose on the monopolists !
While I’m not sure about avionics, there’s some aerospace and automotive uses in non-critical places. A version of the rust compiler is undergoing certification so that it can be, but that work is not yet complete.

Also, there are multiple implementations, though they are in various stages of completion.
No thanks. Get these crypto scams out of here.
Getting in touch with Scryfall is easy, go chat with April King. She is on Twitter. But is it really all that useful beyond looking cool? Granted it seems easy to implement.
You have two tabs: curated, and what's popular.

Across all of the apps that I use to consume content, I only know one app that does this well: Criterion. Here, look:

https://www.criterionchannel.com/browse

First thing to note. You can browse w/o having to create an account!

You know what else Criterion does? Rather, what it doesn't do? It doesn't cut off the end of movies at the credits to spam me with what it thinks I want to watch next. There's no "you may like this other thing" based on my watch history. Rather, content is grouped already based on attributes of the movies, not based on my watch history.

Criterion cares about movies and about me as a movie watcher, and it shows.

I will pay Criterion $99/year till the end of time.

The only thing I'd like them to improve is their streaming quality a bit. The video stream is okay, but none of the soundtracks are anything but stereo at best, even for movies they also sell as Blu-ray that have multi-channel DTS soundtracks.
Yes but how do you know that Geo Locked with colleagues in person wouldn't end up teaching you more ? You don't know what you don't know.

Apple improves some things that users don’t strictly need. Like the speakers on their laptops, I don’t really need them to be as good as they are but it sure is enjoyable.
I don't bother renaming files after I download them so they're left looking something like this:

[group] anime name - 01 [fileinfo] [crc32].mkv

This becomes problematic when you have shows like New Game, where the first is stylized as NEW GAME! and the second season is NEW GAME!!. Jellyfin shows them both as the first season of the anime, where as Plex with the Hama TV scanner can distinguish between them.

Statistically yes, the average is between 2 and 3 years, you can look up the stats from multiple sources.

Obviously parent meant an average, not that almost nobody goes for 1 year and almost nobody goes for 4.

And heck even if you mean to keep it for longer, they're small semi-fragile things that are uncommonly easy to lose and break.
As far as I remember, the first Witcher engine was a weird mash of the engine from neverwinter nights 2 and their own modifications, and they introduced their own engine with the Witcher 2.
I can't actually remember the explanation but thinking about it E=1/2mv² but when the air is moving twice as fast the mass of air passing the wind turbine would also double. Sounds plausible at least.
Look at the New Green Deal proposed by some Democrats in 2019. It was a non-binding resolution. An attempt to give the US congress a long-term vision.

There wasn't an attempt to compromise. Every Republican Representative could have attempted an amendment to temper language they didn't like. There could have been a debate on the merits of the resolution.

It was turned into a hit piece so every time AOC is mentioned in social media some smarmy user pops up and screeches about hamburgers or cow flatulence.
We tried that, it doesn't work.

In our case, Google was claiming we were sending contact information to a URL corresponding to our static landing page.

In fact, we didn't even upload contact information anywhere.
I haven't looked at font hinting, but if you're root, you should be able to replace the ttf files by files you've edited to behave just the way you want.

Have you tried to do just that? If you can't, if you can at least give me fonts, I can try to take a screenshot for you after I've replaced the default fonts by your fonts.
Forget the China revenue, what about the manufacturing? How would Apple survive at all if the US and China were cut off from each other?
> Apple makes one of the best in class of these devices, and has successfully designed one such that it's hard to switch to a competitor (rather it's easier to stay in the ecosystem).

I wonder how many years it will take before I can convince some people that I actually just prefer Apple's phones to competing phones and that I'm not actually brainwashed or forced by Apple to never leave. But that's exactly what a brainwashed person would say...

They let it become a slum because they make bank off it. See their services revenue: it’s huge. Sad, but expected.
Re: reading: try KOReader. It was a straight upgrade from the reader app on my Boox device and I wouldn't switch back if you paid me. I only dip into the stock apps for note-taking now, all of my reading happens in KOReader; It took reading from "pretty good but often annoying" to excellent.

Agreed on the other points though. Personally I think we're a good two generations of color display tech away from general availability of really good e-ink hybrid devices that have color displays, high PPI and low enough display latency to feel responsive during markup. If you're okay with slower refresh the kaleido 3 stuff hitting the market this year might satisfy your desire for highlighting and color markup. Personally I'm waiting a bit, 150PPI just doesn't do it for me.
I don't know that they are made to.

Npm packages already do too much, with package.json being used to run scripts that have permission to do nefarious tasks to relying on C libraries.

If I were to use Deno it would be with the understanding that I'd need to find dependencies that are generic and standard... Not expect everything from npm to work by default.

If I used either I'd specifically look for dependencies that are standard enough to not matter or
Using recent activity as a metric seems like it would age finished projects out of the github platform. Active projects that have switched version control several times in their history might refer to previous versions on github without github itself being aware of the connection.

At the free level I could see unmodified forks and anything marked private disappearing over time, then culling empty accounts. If I created an account, forked a project, and then left, how many months would need to pass before I'd be surprised that my account hadn't been recycled without my active consent?
If you're body building or doing serious exercise, it can be hard to get the protein your body needs to recover and build muscle on a strictly vegan diet. I've tried it and it's difficult.
"https with auth" is fine and good, and obviously the world has been heading in this direction. But I secretly suspect this is because 90%+ of developers nowadays don't know how to hack on any layer below http.

Tailscale is not a typical VPN; it's just a system that attempts to provide beyondcorp-like behaviour at a lower level of the stack, so that you don't have to rewrite all your apps (ssh in this case!) to use https, and don't have to have open ports in your firewall, and don't have to run everything through the cloud if you don't want.

As in my post above, there's more than one way to do it. You can also build traditional-beyondcorp-over-https on top of a Tailscale network, so you get all the improved network connectivity and also all the benefits of a "pure" beyondcorp architecture.
This is also a dream of mine and I have many thoughts around this. I have a lot of little collections like this list and have always wanted a way to open this up to community contributions

I also don't think "awesome lists" are a sufficient solution for a number of reasons. Like this list is a perfect example of something that would (1) definitely get ignored on GitHub, (2) not reach the most likely target audiences, (3) not be easy to contribute to for basically anyone who doesn't know what a "git" is (so, the majority of people on earth)

I mean, I never said Plex was free. I paid for lifetime Plex Pass like 4+ years ago so I don’t have any ongoing costs.

I have no issue spending money (which is why I use Plex and not Emby/Jellyfin), I have a problem when you literally cannot spend any amount of money to get what I consider the best experience. Even if you pay for every streaming app on the planet you can’t get the experience Plex can provide (with media acquired legally or otherwise).
> The App Store is a fundamental de-facto monopoly on software distribution and (as we've seen with Spotify) service development.

This would be true if Android didn’t exist. But it does, so apple isn’t.

What would be funny is if Google stops developing android, since it’s lot lucrative, so they can sue under antitrust to improve their ad business that apple keeps hampering.
>There is just too much social resistance to overcome.

We're really only on the second wave of veganism right now. I can't say exactly when the first wave "ended", but I'd say the second wave started to roll in after 2010. But in this second wave, there is a lot of culture being developed that I believe will sustain a third wave. Whereas the first wave had a bunch of early adopters who had very odd food habits (i.e. eating barely palatable food or eating 50 bananas a day), this second wave is developing new food culture. There are large communities like the Vegan Soul Food Group. Groups like this share recipes and tips for making vegan food and, frankly, it's damn good. Not everything is the best nutritionally, but that's not why everyone is adopting veganism in the first place. There are also high profile chefs (and burgeoning chefs too) who are coming on the scene. Gaz Oakley, Yeung Man, Andrew Bernard, Vegan Bunny Chef. There are all sorts of accounts on tiktok with culturally-specific vegan foods - Mexican, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Ghanaian. Not to mention all of the "accidentally vegan" foods that already existed before.

These people are leading the way to a vibrant vegan food culture. They're developing new traditions and practices right before our very eyes. And a lot of people are joining in as a result. The younger generation is much less obsessed with this sort of "tradition perfectionism" where every element has to be there to make it a tradition. They were much more willing to change and adapt traditions to fit their own personal and moral beliefs.

The third wave, I think, is going to come as a result of what you're talking about. We have some great things like nut-based cheese, but also on the horizon (beyond meat ;) are things like vegan casein and whey, which will make it even easier to be vegan. At that point, the third wave will be as if people were never vegan in the first place.
Having worked with WRF for 13 years now, contributed patches to many releases, and built a SaaS business centered on WRF (https://cloudrun.co), I still discover new things about it and run into interesting scientific and engineering challenges. It's not the kind of software that's easily picked up and run by a non-expert. It's a large framework that's more niche, more obscure, and not as well documented as something like, say, Tensorflow. There's still a ton of value to derive from making WRF and similar models more usable by non-experts and without access to supercomputers.
Put it this way. He's got more money than he will ever be able to spend. He has controlling shares so no one can fire him. At this point, he's trying to boost his legacy. He wants to be known for more than just the hated Facebook creator. He wants to elevate himself to the likes of Jobs or Elon.

He doesn't care about Wallstreet.
What are you even talking about? Do you have any models that so far have been consistent with reality to support the idea that current ideas of vaccination and surgical mask wearing would actually meaningfully protect octogenarians from getting a SARS-CoV-2 (virus that causes COVID-19) infection before they die? What people like Vincent Racaniello, Daniel Griffin, and Paul Offit say is that immune memory pretty much can't be formed to any protective extent in people that old, so the correct strategy is for immune compromised, old, and otherwise high-risk people to make plans with their doctors to immediately take Paxlovid after infection is first detected, or otherwise to be infused with Remdesivir (Veklury) if that's not possible. For people like this, repeated boosting is just one step forward, and (a couple months later) one step back. The immune memory and anamnestic response never becomes enough. As far as anyone can tell, current vaccination strategies can't halt transmission anywhere in the world in real-life conditions, and it's highly unethical to give someone a biologic when the risk of that biologic outweighs the risk of not getting that biologic, or getting a less risky alternative.

You'd think using Unreal Engine makes it easier to hire but that's not the case, it just means there's more competition for the people knowledgable in it, and it drives the people that want to work on something different to other studios. It also doesn't cut down on development time or the needed number of engine programmers since studios pretty much have to modify and enhance the engine, often replacing several components in order to ship the game. In some cases you'll end up with an incompatible fork which requires its own team to extend and enhance it, meaning that to upgrade to a newer version from Epic you'll need to spend months merging the codebases.

Overall I see the adoption of Unreal Engine as a net negative for the industry, it's reducing the landscape to a monoculture. For all the talk that Epic does about being against monopolies, Unreal Engine is becoming one in a big way, and killing the ecosystem as it grows.
I thought TSMC is taking 3nm to volume production starting Q4 22/Q1 23. Why would the 3nm mac processor be on hold until 2024?
I've seen commenters saying that the intent of this action is to get people talking about climate change. So far, all I've seen here is a discussion around the actions themselves. I'd be willing to bet that the same effect is observable outside of HN.

To my knowledge, no one is saying "Hmmm, on the one hand this stunt inconveniences me, but on the other hand it also makes me wonder how much harm I'm doing to the planet." If anything, people are probably saying "I'm now going window-shopping for an SUV, because fuck these assholes." I'd be lying if I said that's not what I'm thinking.

Climate change is real, and we need to defeat it. But you can't do that without winning hearts and minds, and you can't win hearts and minds by alienating the people whose actions you want to change. I understand the frustration these activists have, but they need to ask themselves whether their actions are doing more harm than good, given what we know about human nature and behavioral change. If they continue down this path, I have to question whether their real goal is to reverse climate change or gain notoriety for themselves.
