How common is this pattern? I've gone about this at length in my comment history, but I think people drastically overestimate how often that happens. It's rare enough that I've never seen it after looking into dozens of use of force events by my local PD. Not saying it never happens, but usually there's a good explanation for lacking body cam footage (like the officer was off duty or undercover). It's actually somewhat reassuring that a lot of the time you'll see cops reminding each other to turn their cameras on, or freaking out if it falls off during a scuffle and they can't find it.
Maybe you could read up, instead of guessing.

Dikes are a technology older than writing.
Yeah Facebook is operating like a startup that is expecting high growth year over year. But a big company like that just can't do it anymore. The problem is, it's really hard for big succesful companies to just rest on their laurels. Their shareholders demand more growth.
Target is people who don't know already or are not interested. We on hacker news are interested, I am working on solving climate change problem, this is almost daily topic. Such actions only work to raise awareness. Are such actions successfull or have proper good impact? I think not, but that's different topic than "who is target audience".
Except, not.
For anyone wondering, that site is blocked in the UAE (and trying to access it probably got me on a list somewhere).
Wow not what I would have expected, though a lot of my intuition about Rome is probably wrong. I respect your effort in looking up ancient pork prices. I may have to change to Beefnubbins.
Exactly! Cryptocurrency was developed to enable decentralized, anonymous assassination marketplaces so you don't have to rely on big government providers.
I can put you in touch with the Montgolfier brothers for a reasonable price. :)
I don't know elsewhere but where I live it's 10x easier to buy pirated Pokemon cards rather then the original ones. You can even buy them in Amazon (but that's nothing extraordinary).
The battery life difference seems to be mostly on paper so (never tried it, but based on the meassurement method). Testing requires the cameras to be on for a certain time between shots, mirrorless obviously consumes more power with screens and EVFs powerd, DSLRs don't use any power at all when not shooting. Propably wouldn't make difference for me, my cameras are always off when not on my eye. The time it takes from getting them up there is enough for them to boot (Nikon bodies), so the difference between an EVF and a DSLR should be marginal in that case.
You can be on multiple platforms. So you should start looking for the best alternative platforms for your interests now and start participating in them. Then if Twitter gets bad drop it.

People who don't know or don't care about global warming. I still think that such action is stupid.
> I'm not asserting any moral high ground.

Wonderful.

> I'm saying we should stop factory farming cattle that are fed with heavily subsidized, fossil fuel grown crops, stop clearing land for more cattle, and hold the meat industry to some basic environmental and animal welfare standards.

Oh, I didn't see where you were saying that.

Almost all global food production has large fossil fuel based inputs, land clearing is the unfortunate reality of growing population and consumption but at least the market allocates it somewhat efficiently, and its quite fungible, so it makes no more sense to say no more land to be used for cows than it does to say no more land to be used for almonds or tomatoes or quinoa. And in the western world at least animal farming and the meat industry is held to some basic environmental and animal welfare standards.

> You're welcome to continue eating what meat is available in such a world and should thank anyone you meet who eats less so that your combined share of a sustainable world can meet your personal demands.

I don't know or care about your fantasy world, but I am quite welcome to eat meat that is available in the world I find myself living in. Just like you are quite welcome to buy a new iphone every year or go on frivolous vacations to ski or sight-see whenever you choose to.
I charge my iPhone on an 0.5A source. What's the lowest a cable goes, the USB 2.0 spec of 2A? Even power-only is fine in most cases.
Is it really worse than Twitter's? The image has the website telling you exactly which account is already using that password (it's actually a joke from reddit).

It's interesting to know that this was actually a thing though...
As far as I understand it, there’s no AF “sensor” on mirrorless cameras apart from the image sensor itself. They just adjust the focus until maximum contrast is achieved - but obviously it’s more complex than that.
He's building nothing of the sort.
Biological brains have had a few billion years to optimize. Over the past decade or two, it's been increasingly apparent that the structure and algorithms that govern a particular neural net's behaviour are extremely important to its efficacy.

We likely have a very warped view of what intelligence is, because the most prominent examples of it have been aggressively honed over an extremely long period of time to be good at tasks crucial to their survival, such as effectively navigating a 3D environment. We consider art to be a difficult and complex task, and making a sandwich to be a simple one, but that's because our particular brand of intelligence is optimized toward the latter.
It is not "more sustainable". It is just, likely, cheaper.

Siting, operational, and land use concerns for pumped hydro are, generally, trivial. If one site is bad, another is good. There is absolutely no shortage of sites, so only the best need be even considered.
I translate this as "Musk sent his crack team of engineers to Twitter to assess the engineering culture at Twitter. He needs to find out which engineering department is weak and needs attention"

The problem is nobody wants to use a device whose main login is a real-name social media account to view porn. Meta needs to completely split its Facebook /Insta logins from Meta accounts, moving them to something more akin to Apple logins.

Agreed. If someone has a deep enough understanding of engineering fundamentals, moving bits is moving bits. It doesn't matter what use case is sitting on top of it.

Also - Let's not act like Twitter is absurdly complex. Handling that amount of traffic was hard in 2008, yes. It's not hard in 2022. The app itself is what? CRUD with stream processing? Some complexity with scaling that, but it's not self-driving... that's for damn sure. Even if they haven't reached L5 yet, L4 AV is an infinitely harder problem than storing arbitrary text/images and serving ads.
Sure! That's a very good remark and we plan to integrate this kind of information to our tool.
For the moment, you can check paperswithcode.com which already gives some useful insights on benchmarking results ;)
I shoot weddings/portraits with a Z6ii (mirrorless, $2k) and a D850 (widely regarded as the best DSLR ever made, was $3k - now less). The D850 has much higher resolution.

I’d much rather use two Z6iis. The only reason I haven’t upgraded is because I’m anticipating a Z6iii soon and I’d love for it to be ~33mp as I think that’d be the sweet spot for me.

The autofocus advantage is huge, and the viewfinder is typically much easier to see. Yeah, I need to swap batteries at least twice as often. One battery still makes it through a 2 hour portrait session just fine.
Amazing work! Ever since I watched the documentary about the ScanPyramids Project I've been waiting for a full 3D Scan (moreso even for a VR Project, but that's only a small step from this). I figured they were probably not allowed to publish their scans, so this is a nice surprise.

This looks a bit "segmented" to me? As in, the scanned parts are not necessarily 100% overlapping (and resulting in a single union model?). Nonetheless amazing work.

If you're interested in VR compatibility, I believe A-Frame (https://aframe.io/) (also threejs and webbased IIRC) might do the trick.
It's not decades. That's ludicrous. Actually those glasses exist, they just are lacking in field of view or some 3d tracking abilities. Such as the new Spectacles.

There is no reason to think it will take two decades to increase the field of view.
Yeah, people who need "fact checkers" banning people for misinformation, which are proven to be information only months later should jump the ship.

But to be honest, Musk is just controlled opposition, don't expect really significant changes from him.
are you aware that all vehicles from Telsa, are permanently "tweeting" huge telemetry data to an amazon cloud infrastructure managing those petabyte of data to for analysis, training AI, and whatever a fucked brain could imagine.

So basically, there is not difference between "hi im having a pizza with friends at this new restaurant at the corner of my street" and "hi im item #12314 and i just turn left at 50mph speed on a busy road"

Telsa and Twitter are both very mainstream business at acquiring huge amount of data, So intuitively they would share the same similar issue and challenge...

Life is full of repeated, daily annoyances. Allowing yourself to get angry about them is a choice. Traffic is super irritating. But if you get angrier and angrier every day you have to fight traffic until you explode, that's an anger management problem. Taking a breath and letting the small shit go, accepting that other people do dumb things sometimes, you don't have to succumb to anger. Anger is where you stop being smart. Papercuts are just papercuts. You wouldn't scream at the first or the hundredth. They won't kill you. They heal and you get more. That's life.
Keep asking yourself "am I dreaming" throughout the day. You'll lucid dream that night.
Don't know if I should share it here but hey, we all make mistakes :)

I had to implement a "forgot password" feature in a web application. I implemented it via:

1) Take the user's email
2) Generate a 6 digit code
3) Send the code to the email
4) Send the hash of the code to the frontend and save it in local storage
5) Compare the code from user which they get via email to the hash in local storage

Someone could change the hash in the local storage and bypass this.

Of course, I reverted to use Redis instead of local storage for this after like 3 days, fortunately with no mishaps.

I've since then made up my mind to not implement bad workarounds like this because it just felt so wrong.
Let's also not mention the social stigma and peer pressure kids exert on each other because they don't have an iPhone and their name is apparently some different color one chat window.
Very well said, most people don't know about shorter way

> This is absolutely ridiculous.

Asking people whose work you trust to evaluate something you can't evaluate yourself is ridiculous now?

EDIT: however, it does leave a bit of a bad taste in Twitter employees mouths, in that it basically indicates that Musk doesn't trust them. Hmm, that's not optimal.
> but upon reviewing my photos I've come to the realization that the vast majority of them are useless. Many of them are videos for my 1SE vlog, screenshots or pictures of things I wanted to share to a friend, or pictures of food. I'll never again look at 90+% of all these pictures, which leads me to the conclusion that 1. I should be more mindful of when I choose to take pictures (and take fewer in general), and 2. I should do something about the best 1% of my photos, like post them on this blog.

I would say way more than 90% of my photos are useless. Heck, every time I take a photo I actually take 3+ and then share the one that looks best. Meanwhile, dropbox automatically backups all the photos and my photo folder keeps getting bigger and BIGGER and BIGGGGER.

QUESTION: What program works best to go through a lot of pictures and delete those that don't matter? I tried the default windows once, xnview, and a few others, and they are all so slow at navigating photos that I would never finish :(
We currently have an app store issue with one of the 8 apps that we provide (same codebase, mostly same Features, different brands etc).
On one of them, we got a very picky reviewer that doesn't like our Account Deletion feature.

This & the other apps had it live for months, the others are still fine, just this one app now can't get updates. And we simply can't make it better (due to legalities) - still no cooperation from Apple.
From your link:

> The term may also be used to describe a person (a "gaslighter") who presents a false narrative to another group or person, thereby leading them to doubt their perceptions and become misled, disoriented or distressed.

A false narrative is not necessarily including a false history of things. He is spinning a false narrative by using facts, but presenting them in a way that is misleading. like a politician. He is inventing a problem ("dead accounts are a huge problem that is causing my valued users many issues") and presenting a solution for that new problem that is mainly benefitting himself. All social media platforms have a huge number of inactive accounts, but that's for some reason only an issue sometimes. For example when Elon Musk takes over Twitter. Generally these platforms welcome inactive accounts, because it is inflating their numbers. Now Durov wants more money and he is inventing a problem and pointing at the users as the culprit.

He is achieving two (edit: tree) things with that:

1) He is gaslighting users into believing that it is their own fault that they lost their account name, because they have not logged in for three months, when stealing account names is actually just an arbitrary decision that he made.

2) He is incentivizing occasional users to log in more often, so they can keep their name. I guess he can then later use these numbers to sell ad space: "Unlike on other platforms, our users are much more engaged.

Edit: 3) Money
Pumped hydro is not, in fact, very dependent on location. You just need a hill. There are a lot of hills.

Even places without hills often have deep underground cavities, which also serve.

> I applaud your efforts to dig into body cam footage for police accountability. But there is probably selection bias in that you're looking around already noteworthy incidents where there might be suspicious behavior.

"Footage only goes missing if that would help the police" is not really a compelling defense of the integrity of the system, even if that happens in less than 1% of cases. "We're here for you, except when you need us" makes an awful slogan.
So does Fuji. Fuji has a pretty unique sensor with x-trans.

Sony and Samsung are both producing a lot of sensors for mobile devices though. For example Apple has used a lot of Sony sensors over time. And likewise most camera manufacturers do not design their own sensors at this point.
I'm no fan of Facebook either, but if they collapse and die one day soon, one thing I'll really miss is FB Messenger. I just haven't found anything remotely like it that works as well for keeping a friends list, letting me chat with them, and letting me do video chats, both on my phone and (very importantly) on a PC.

Everything else fails in some way, usually the PC part. Most chat apps have some video chat function, but it sucks and is totally useless because it's only on the phone; there's no way to do it on a PC, so what's the point? I don't want to see shaky video from someone holding their phone in their hand. I can chat with people using Zoom, but that's a pain because it requires a native application, it's only for video chats (not for keeping a long-running text chat), so while it's great for business meetings it sucks for personal use.

I think PayPal survived. Without any course correction so far as I know. Whose idea the hybrid solution was I don't know - it's not impossible it was Thiel since Palantir is a suspiciously similar hybrid solution (or a series of them), in part. But more likely a third party. Witnessing the success of the hybrid solution up close would be enough to impress both of them with the lesson.
> The AI field is fundamentally missing something. I don't know what it is.

I can only speculate but it certainly is for a reason that certain parts of our body are vegetativelly controlled whereas others are under the active control of our consciousness.

If you step on a nail, the first reaction comes from vegetative stimulus, later your consciousness processes that information. A squirrels neuronal network is also separated in that way. That may be a reason.

And second, AFAIK AI still doesn't 'think' in concepts, it has no notion of the 'world'.

And third: The capability of reproduction and acting accordingly may be another thing.

> Legally, Musk has to pay Tesla for this, and someone very senior at Tesla (the board or the senior executive team) has to approve – without Musk being in the room. But, why wouldn't they say "yes"?

that's not true at all. there's no law that says Twitter/Musk has to pay Tesla engineers anything. it's only up to Tesla's management to decide what they want in return for those resources. Also, as CEO there's nothing stopping Elon from using all of Tesla's resources to help Twitter or any other company. it is entirely up to Tesla's board and shareholders to punish Elon for what should be a gross misappropriation of Tesla's resources
I see your point and agree. Anyway, I am already using “anyone can decap a chip” for the listeners' amusement in my daily conversations.
> Some site says "get our app". Click. A banner shows up showing the app name, icon, screenshots?, highlights the domain.

Remember when Android would give you a list of permissions that an app needs and everyone clicked through it because it was impossible to make an informed decision on what the app did?

> The odds are that Twitter will probably be dead in a year.

And that's based on what exactly?

> He'll bring on a few yes-men executives that'll applaud him

Again, based on what?

Now here's a prediction actually based on Musk's past perf:

He'll bring in people who get shit done, and get it done fast. Twitter will achieve things everyone says is stupid, ridiculous and impossible now as he's done in the past 20 years with Tesla and SpaceX.

That will be followed by a large swath of copy-cats who will try to replicate it to no avail.
I like how the author emphasizes IA — Intelligence Augmentation as a counterpoint to GOFAI. I’m less inspired by his vision of II (Intelligent Infrastructure); probably bc I’m concerned with the degree of surveillance we already have to live with.
...and I hope you used a proper TOTP method to generate and validate this 6-digit code!
If GOFAI is Weizenbaum's Eliza - yes.

If GOFAI includes semantic reasoning in real world concepts modeled eg. with theasauri and concept maps - I think AI research was on the right track but went astray as there was not enough resounding business success to warrant further funding.
