This is not a valid comparison, though. Rather, consider the extrapolation: "drive for 20 hours or let a computer drive for 20 hours?". (edit: the extrapolation is intended to highlight the absurdity of the premise.) The correct answer is to mitigate the risk with breaks or safer alternative transport such as a hired driver. It's not a closed system with only two possible solutions.

If the solution is not tenable, the plan should be aborted. Not rammed through via abuse of technology.
A good way to grasp huge numbers on a national or global level is to see what they are per person.

In this case, 1.9 billion tonnes per 7 billion people is about 270kg (600 lb) per human
> You cant say a diet (vegan) that requires artificial produced supplementation (vitamin b12) in order for you to survive is the optimal diet for humans.

You know animals don't produce B12 as well, right? They come from bacteria in the soil.

> The longest living populations are eating diets that are heavy on plants yes, but not vegetarian or vegan.

Take a look at the Seven-day Adventist study (the population with the highest longevity ever recorded). Between this group, the ones excluding all animal products from the diet actually live longer than the rest.
But how can it be hard to make a bot produce the input it flagged?

I can see that if you are talking about humans asking them to compose detailed and specific reports has costs. But we're talking about machines, not humans.

Basically all anyone is asking for is a stack trace so they can identify and debug the issue. I don't understand why that's unreasonable for a bot.

It's like a complier that aborts with nothing more than "syntax error". Most people know compilers can be much more helpful than that.

Those cables don't meet the standard, then. The minimum is 3 amps and a single pair of data wires. And that doesn't require much, especially for a little 6 inch cable.

> Ask yourself why all of these companies were not greedy in previous years,

In the case of Safeway/Albertsons, they jacked food prices up to make their finances look better for a merger.

Flip side of this would be a subscription company dropping prices (or offering lots of promos) to gain lots of subs before a merger.
For what?

I can't believe this kind of crazy comes from an elected official and republicans support her.

I like watching TV quietly, so others are not disturbed. Also, I absorb information better when I read it. Both reasons why I like subtitles, and I suspect many others do as well. I have no issues with my hearing. I don't like large subtitles, either, but if I can set them to be small, they don't bother me.
> hey would will need to trick people into giving them money upfront (preorders?) or borrow from 3rd party to cover a product that will sell and bring cash.

My take on that is that with Witcher games and even with Cyberpunk they made a lot of money. In fact they made the amounts not often seen in Polish economy (I think at some point they were most valuable company in Poland). They should have a lot of cash saved, no need to borrow money.

EDIT: In fact I did find the info about their cash reserves and they are about $220M, which might not seem much from US perspective, but in Poland it is equivalent to their 3 years expenses.
I think remakes also work out well for consumers. Gaming isn't always about novel experiences. Sometimes you just find a satisfactory loop and want to stay in it. People have enjoyed chess for decades. For video games you can reuse the same gameplay elements and just apply the latest tech each time and people will enjoy it.

Personally I check the steam store regularly and buy new games often but I rarely end up playing them much because I prefer to just jump back in to Skyrim or some other game I have been playing for years.
Sure, but I'd rather pay a 2% PayPal tax for that ability than a 30% Apple tax.
They are enormously biased toward people who can afford to pay for ads.

So they aren’t the best new products and services.

Also they encourage behavior that harms the planet like overconsumption and buying things like Coca Cola and whatnot.

The world would be better without ads. And I think videos, articles, and images would be better with alternate forms of paying for them.

They are shared with the public by default. The video downlinks are not encrypted and with the appropriate equipment and knowledge you can watch them in real time. In a lot of places TV stations get the direct video feed under an agreement that they delay it by a few minutes to avoid helping suspects.

In terms of body cam footage, missing video or intentional obstruction are relatively rare occurrences - but it gets heavy media play. For the most part public defenders hate body cams because they dramatically increase work load [1] and make the defense of observable charges (DUI, resisting arrest, etc) very difficult.

People just want to charge their phones. Maybe if someone actually cares about USB3 transfer speeds, they'll go buy the slightly more expensive cable for that. It's not like TVs even have USB-C.

And I don't think this reduces ewaste. It's about the same.
This is basically bioforming, and I'm sure it's more complicated than "removing keystone species == always bad". For instance, sperm whales compete significantly with humans for tuna fish, making up about 50% of the fish eaten. As our demand for tuna grows, wouldn't exterminating sperm whales help us meet that demand?

I love these kinds of things and use them in GPU programming, among other things. Things have changed in a variety of ways: population count and count-trailing-zeros are generally available as fast instructions now. Multiply is also now just as fast as other operations, so is not to be avoided.

A couple examples. [1] computes the sum of the number of bytes used of four consecutive segments of a bezier path - each segment can be lineto, quadto, or curveto, can be the end of a path or not, and be i16 or f32. 4 tag bytes are packed into a 32 bit word, it computes all these, then sums them together.

[2] linearizes a recursive subdivision into an iterative loop. The stack depth is represented as the number of zeros in a word, so pushing the stack is a left shift, and popping is a right shift. It turns out you want to pop multiple levels at once, and the number of levels is computed by countTrailingZeros. ([2] is experimental Rust code, but I will adapt this into a compute shader)

Perhaps. I suppose that would depend on size and depth of the reservoir and the makeup of the river. Also without a dam the water would be traveling the river mostly during the cold wet season with little evap. So yeah likely so. But in the end the cost would be lost saltwater. Probably a benefit for those that are worried about sea levels.

Personally I like that the cables can get better over time, I just want them to have the speed labeled on them.

But this is a charging standard and for charging all cables are the same for the vast majority of devices.

All the stuff that might break because I don't have high speed data is no worse than lightning which never has high speed data*.

According to random numbers off the internet, a Model Y needs 16-18 kWh/100km. A comparable ICE car is going to need lets say 7-8 l/100km, so 2 kWh ~ 1l (which seems realistic). A kWh of electricity is generally not more expensive than half a liter of fuel, and maintenance costs etc are also still a factor.
I try to be useful in my local community.

I was living in a condo in Thailand and noticed there were many designers. I offered my help on the WhatsApp conversation to make a free workshop about AI generated images, because I thought many designers might not know about it but gain something valuable from it.

After the workshop we just naturally went to grab some beers.

I like to give free and fun programming courses for kids to get them interested in science. Of course these kids come with their parents, or siblings, etc.

I don’t want to quote the Bible, but just try to be useful, entertaining, tell good stories, or just be easy to be around.

If you work from home, do something unexpected once a week (it could literally be anything : I became friend with a prostitute in Phuket, because I was reading Don Quichotte earlier this year. I did not want to read from my place, so I just decided to head for the closest bar, order a cold beer or two and enjoy my classic. Few of them came to engage the conversation because the bar was almost empty because of Covid, I treated them as absolutely normal people, we just ended up shared life stories until late into the night, practicing English, talking about which part of the world we would like to visit)

We are still regularly meeting to grab a coffee or do free diving.

You can make friends with pretty much anyone (especially in big cities, you are not the only one feeling isolated)

They do it when we watch tv as a family, so it isn't that the noise disturbs others.

I dont think watching "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" requires the subtitles so they can absorb information ;)
I think we need to engineer this balance. The ones we need we keep; the ones we don't, we don't. This is basically bioforming.
Good examples. But what about the rest of the continent? And while these companies are the largest on their home markets, they're not the only ones there, are they? And they operate on foreign markets where they are a corporation like any other. For this we should consider only the home-based operation where they can have influence on the state policy, IMHO.

And what about EU rules against unfair competition? They basically force these companies to behave like any other market participant and forbid the state from giving them much/any help. This had real consequences in Poland and Czechia where the states wanted to help nuclear projects (in case of Czechia it was CEZ - the partially state-owned energy company) but the EU stopped it.

> Open source is unsustainable right now —- Github Sponsors will not save the maintainers with software used by Fortune 500s expecting business level support. That shouldn’t be the situation, but it is.

I was actually thinking along exactly these lines this morning.

That's why I was disappointed in particular because of who's name was on it, because to me it reads poorly. That's why my reaction was so visceral. I'm glad to hear that in actuality it has really been benefiting those OSS maintainers, but I stand by at least my suggestion that some of the explainer/marketing copy on that site needs to change. It in my honest opinion does not read to the same level of positivity that you or lbotos below put it to.

I guess I took your comment as putting down "enterprise software integrations" as inferior and putting down the community as being "about that".

If you say that wasn't your intent, I believe you, but I doubt that I'm the only reader who took things that way. It can be difficult to read intent accurately from short internet comments. Ultimately the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

To be honest I still find it hard to read that comment and not feel that it was being snide. If one takes your question at face value, it answers itself: of course the community is not "about that"—it's got all sorts of people doing all sorts of things.

The world of high performance CSS animation has not changed much in 6 years (or more![0])

Your demo is doing the same thing as the original – transitioning a `translateX` value. Indeed, I get a smooth, consistent 60fps from both, and a performance profile reveals that no paints occurred in the original! That's AKA "there is no way to improve this"

So, I'm pretty sure float won't have any impact to performance, as the elements themselves don't reflow during the transition.

I agree, and we should probably understand it before we change it. It was already engineered by natural selection long before we gained the capability to alter it. Now we are in the process of destroying it by accident as a byproduct of thoughtless growth. If we want to survive we should understand it and then carefully cultivate it for maximum performance.
There's no way multiplayer would've made sense in CP77 with how OP the netrunner build was, nevermind how the Sandevistan is supposed to work across the wire.

GitHub completely replaces “following activity” with algorithmic feed
GitHub introduced a new algorithmic feed back in March which received a lot of negative feedback at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30788364

It was, however, optional and hidden behind a "For You" tab. The default homepage experience was still the chronological activity of users you follow.

This appears to have changed (unless I'm a part of some horrible A/B test), and the new algorithmic feed is now the only option. There are options to filter noise out of the feed (announcements, releases, sponsors, "recommendations", etc), but the resulting feed is completely useless in that it doesn't include the stars / repos of people I explicitly follow. If it were a strict superset of functionality of the old "following" tab and I could disable all of the noise, then I'd be fine with it, but as things stand, none of the old events appear in my feed.

This is a really useful, core feature of GitHub imho. I've spent years curating a close group of developer experts who I trust and frequently use GitHub's "following" feed in order to stay up-to-date with their work.

Please GitHub, make the algorithmic feed optional as it has been since it's introduction back in March.

Note that this change doesn't seem to appear in GitHub's official changelog (https://github.blog/changelog/), so hopefully it's just an ill-advised A/B test, but I'd be pretty upset if it wasn't.
Olympus (or "OM System" as it's now called) has a bigger problem, and that's the software that runs on your computer. Unlike almost any other manufacturer, in order to do a firmware update, you have to install a special application on your computer. If you have a Mac, that application requires a kernel extension. For what reason, I can't even imagine.

The software is just awful. Why they can't just go with "put the updated firmware on the SD card", I have no idea.
It is I, the pearl clutcher.
The main software tricks phones are using are HDR and noise reduction by means of stacking. Your D750 has an exposure bracketing feature and many image editors have stacking functionality. Of course it's hard to get perfectly aligned shots without a tripod or a very good image stabilizer, though I imagine some software can align and perspective-shift them enough to get decent results.
Your best bet is probably to just find a simple form backend that can make use of webhooks (or easily communicate with Zapier, Integromat, N8N)

I don’t think someone is going to build a form with hundreds of integrations, it’s not worth the time investment
The verbosity is optional; most examples you see will be verbose in an effort to be more clear (i.e. Get-ChildItem vs 'gci') but when you have a little experience are typing with Powershell, you'll find the verbosity basically goes away, because you'll be familiar with using aliases and because you won't need abstruse tools and sublanguages (which are more verbose) to do filtering and processing:

gci *.txt | %{ $tot += $_.length }; echo $tot

That's not more verbose than bash (one way of doing this):

ls -l *.txt | awk '{ tot += $5 } END { print tot }'

So you'll see the pipeline written (in an example, for clarity), more like:

Get-ChildItem *.txt | ForEach-Object { $tot += $_.length }; Write-Output $tot

But that's not how you'd usually use it; until/unless you're putting it in a script.

Note that 'ls -l' and guessing that you want to total up field 5 is brittle in way that the Powershell snippet isn't, but I'm leaving that issue aside.
You actually did the research I suggested! I'm so thrilled.
