To me it's crazy that a religious organization apparently has a 17gbits+ connection to the internet. Admittedly I'm not an expert and only know of one that I'd consider large enough here, but yeah... Second question is why their ISP never had any alarm bells going off with such a traffic pattern.
That’s apparently exactly what people have been saying for a decade and have been proven wrong over and over again.

Maybe it’s true this time around. I don’t know. I am certainly not an expert.

I wonder if it’s comparable to Moore’s law though.
Game of Thrones suffered from overtaking the novels. It was less about being dragged out (in my opinion) and more about not having George RR Martin at the helm with a thousand pages material already written and waiting adaption.

Martin is famously slow at writing the books, but that lead to some really deep and complex storylines. However when you try to compress that process into < 1 year and with different writers at the helm as well, then you’re inevitably going to end up with something that feels rushed and stripped of any substance.
My understanding is that your typical automotive radar will have insufficient angular resolution to reliably distinguish, say, an overpass from a semi blocking the road, or a pedestrian standing in the middle of the road from one on the footpath.

Radar does however have the advantage of measuring object speed directly via the doppler effect, so you can filter out all stationary objects reliably, then assume that all moving objects are on the road in front of you and need to be reacted/responded to.

So I think it's the case that radar can detect stationary objects easily, but cannot determine their position enough to be useful, hence in practice stationary objects are ignored.

“Lossy” is not the word.

Reliable/unreliable are the words.

Packets can and do get dropped, TCP, UDP or otherwise. It’s just a question of how the protocol behaves when that happens.
Sure. That's because most families do not have poor parenting strategy.

My point was that even with poor parenting, there can be a 3-kid family where all three kids are successful.

That doesn't mean the parenting strategy should be widely replicated, given that there are more generally successful methods.
Every time I try to create a new project in some sort of actor/graph manner I end up just creating some DB indexes and crons instead. Maybe I'm just not thinking big enough, but I hope I get to work on something that justifies this architecture someday because it looks like fun
But you only introduce an unnecessary extra step in the same theory. Life still had to evolve somewhere, just that now it had to embark onto interstellar trip.
This is not working anymore, getting 500's on every attempt.

Tweeting isn't controlling any narrative. If you ban one side and not the other, and suppress stories you don't like, that's more along the lines you're talking.
Now this is some fresh horseshoe theory.
I've heard people on the internet claim that, in automotive radar the first thing they do when processing the signal is discard any stationary objects. Apparently this is because the vast majority of the time it's a sign or overhead gantry or guard rail - any of which could plausibly be very close to the lane of travel thousands of times per journey - and radar doesn't provide enough angular resolution to tell the difference.

Personally I've never seen these claims come from the mouth of an automotive radar expert, and many cars do use radar in their adaptive cruise control, so I present it as a rumour, not a fact :)
The problem was that albatross of a gamepad. Not only did it have garbage battery life, but its presence led Nintendo to actively make games worse just to force mechanics onto the gamepad. Anyone else remember how godawful Star Fox Zero was, for absolutely no good reason?
I tried this a few years ago out of curiosity and couldn't get it to work at all. Tried again now and the UX seems more polished but got "sorry Briar has crashed" immediately after trying to add a contact.

I am always surprised at how hard it is to network any nearby devices on any hardware or OS compared to sharing files/messages etc via the Internet.
AI seems to have incredible potential in compression of audio, images and video.

None of which really seems to make any difference in a world of near-limitless bandwith. It just isn't the constraint it once was.
If you are travelling with family and have some serious distance to cover, this many long breaks will cost you more hotel nights.

Also, people go on vacation more or less at the same time, so be prepared to be in a line before you can charge.
Urgent for whom? It's important but there are far more pressing matters in this country.
That’s simply not true. It’s generally a matter of corporate dysfunction, not active sabotage.
I don't bother implementing that crap anymore. I just websockets which are message oriented out of the box.
I wanted to buy this console to play StarFox Zero, but then never did.

The game didn't age as gracefully as other StarFox games.
On the contrary: everyone who invested in Europe in building any sort of capacity was handsomely rewarded (incl. nuclear).

Energy prices are so high because too many guarantees were given to too many parties to entince investment.
I do think it led to the switch concept which has been very successful for Nintendo, my friend who had a wii U thought it was great, but just wanted the tablet to have better battery life.
Very interesting stuff, but not going to lie, I have trouble imagining how you'd build a viable company around this kind of thing.

Infrastructure/protocol companies are always going to be a very tough sell (Sandstorm) unless there's a compelling freemium model like with GitLab, Cloudbees, Sentry, etc.
Interesting, I grew up in the “village” of Theydon Bois, Essex which has shunned street lights since that would make it less village like.

There must be a fair few similar places. Although there’s been a fair number of car thefts.
They're also part of the bandwidth alliance, unlike AWS.
I like how your illustration also implies that -i is also square root of -1, which is true
There are some things that are often even easier than that:

1. not criticizing and not doing anything constructive

2. criticizing while doing something destructive, e.g. like framing every criticism in opposition to doing something constructive, as if the peole who are constructive cannot criticise and those who criticise cannot be constructive.

I would not be able to tell at a glance whether someone critical is doing something constructive or not. Accusing critics of not doing anything constructive is itself not constructive, but just evasion.
Airtel, one of the largest Indian ISPs - does not put users behind CGNAT. Plus, now that they have deployed IPv6, each of your devices gets a routable ipv6 (bit scary when I first discovered that!). So if you use airtel as an ISP, you can definitely self host: on IPV4 using the right port mapping, or on ipv6 without any additional configuration.

Additionally, airtel uses pppoe. If you wish, you can connect a PI to your airtel modem via a bridged connection (look in your airtel modem configuration) and then just run pppd and get a dedicated (though still dynamic!) IPV4 for your PI - seperate from the rest of your network. It works beautifully!
They also wouldn't fit onto TV today, for entirely different reasons (i.e. the homophobia and the fact actresses aren't considered a personal bonus to showrunners anymore).
The original point was that a shower would have to use more energy to heat shower water in winter. Not sure now how any of your comments relate to that - do you agree with it?
There's a scary chance that Bolsonaro contests this.
Maybe you're right, I don't care about Tesla drama.

Here is one possible perspective from an engineering standpoint:

Same amount of $$, same amount of software complexity, same size of engineering teams, same amount of engineering hours, same amount of moving parts. One company focuses on multiple different sensors and complex fusion with some reliance on AI. Another company focuses on limited sensors and more reliance on AI. Which is better? I don't think the answer is clear.

The other point is that I am arguing that many people are over-stating the importance of the sensors. They are important, but far more important is the post-processing. Any raw sensor data is a poor actual representation of the real environment. It is not about the sensors, but about everything else. The brain or the post-sensor processing is responsible for reconstructing an approximation of the environment. We have to infer from previous learned experiences of the 3D world to successfully navigate. There is no 3D information coming in from sensors, no objects, no motion, no corners, no shadows, no faces, etc. That is all constructed later. So whoever does a better job at the post-processing will probably out perform regardless of the choice of sensors.
That is the default view of many in SA, including the current pope. This is driven by the hate towards the US rather than anything else -- they dream of a 'multipolar' world and idealise Russia. Same with e.g. Chomsky.

However, Bolsonaro is arguably more pro-Russian: https://www.reuters.com/world/brazils-bolsonaro-says-western... So it does not really matter, at least Lula will help the rainforest or whatnot.
Back in the days there was a saying "Nobody will lose their job for choosing IBM". I guess Microsoft has been the new IBM for a while. I'm just praying that their decline will be imminent and fast.

It's still sad that incompetent people get to choose rotten technology - often burning tax payers money (or even religious donations).
I got my current gig with a $50K pay bump through a public slack group for devops engineers. There are almost certainly groups out there for software devs if you do some googling for them.
For what I see from Twitter, I'd say Twitter is the vocal minority.
The request can be logged on server side. Twitter thus logged passwords in plain text some time ago.
Typically, applications where bandwidth is sufficiently limited to warrant AI heavy lossy compression are also application with tight latency and computational constraints. Not to disparage these results, but the area of very low bitrate codecs is more or less over, voice and audio streaming is a solved problem. In terms of relative bitrate you can do much better with AI, but it will have diminishing returns in the real world.

On the other hand, I think AI-informed video compression will be absolutely transformational; it could enable practical transmission and reproduction of high definition holography (reproduction of an entire wavefront, allowing real 3D scenes viewable from multiple angles) that currently requires a small data-center to process.
Poor is perhaps a bit subjective, but I find the contrast to be very high and the color combinations are not ideal for reading.

This came up before. TL;DR: If you use arena allocators everywhere then you won't have any memory errors!

I think the idea is a really interesting one but it would be better if he didn't wrap it in typical "I don't make mistakes" hubris. I mean I guess at least this time he has some more reason than "because I'm not stupid" but I think he's still wrong.

His technique probably reduces the chance of memory errors, but there's still nothing checking his work so he's still going to make mistakes.

The other issue he doesn't address is resource allocation. It's fine to just drop the memory of a lot of things but sometimes you have to close files, handles, etc. RAII handles that perfectly. I'm not sure about this.

I would say RAII and Rust's borrow checker are still superior but it's definitely true that they don't work well with arenas.
I can recommend Tusky or the official Mastodon app. Both are available in F-Droid.
Nice idea!

I experimented with a similar concept based on n-grams instead of single words. Then I do spaced repetition on the n-grams and select sentences which contain patterns that need practicing. I'm using subtitles as a source of spoken language.

Maybe you are assuming it would be actually "scientific". IMO, TNG Technobabble was one of the worst elements of the later shows and inspired a legion of lukewarm nerd bullshit.

Keeping an existing customer is significantly less expensive than acquiring new customers. It has more to do with expected churn rate for customers and the cost to improve service not making up for the expected reduction in churn.
As you said, being critical to a certain degree is what allows is to make things that work. And there is enough stuff happening to be mad about.

I wonder whether those who feel the place has become too critical are not actually in dire need to face that cricism instead of finding some exuse why they would rather not.

Show HN: Generate Anki cards from your notes
Hi!

To help me prepare for a biology test, I made a Python app, using the excellent genanki package[1] to generate Anki cards directly from my Markdown notes. Cards are created from list items, using delimeters like `?::` to separate the question/answer (or front/back) from one another.

Example:

---

# The Solar System

- Number of planets ?:: 8

## Planets

- Mars

- Color ?:: red

---

This will create two cards:

(1)

Path: The Solar System

Front: Number of planets

Back: 8

(2)

Path: The Solar System > Planets > Mars

Front: Color

Back: Red

Other tools to generate Anki cards from Markdown exist, but none worked well with nested lists. I also really wanted to have a "path", generated from headings/ancestral list items, to enable very succint cards, such as the `Color ?:: red`.

I hope it might be of use to someone else.

I also prefer light modes, especially during daytime. I feel it's easier on the eyes.
I reckon Nintendo has the best strategy almost game consoles. Not focusing on the power/realism and instead of other aspects.

At some point, if someone buys a ps5 or xbox for power only. Then they just get a pc, those consoles takes years to design. By the time they're released, it's already outdated
Science is the difference between "everyone kind of already knows" and proven facts. Don't confuse a hundred years of Martian sci-fi with actual scientific discoveries about Mars.
Yeah, a good example of this is here - IMO the background color is just much too bright for the base text color to be so dark. You need a little contrast in the luminosity, even if you have perfect color vision. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altercation/solarized/mast...
You have to only care about it now.
>referring to a concrete construction

While common outside the US, most of it in newer constructions tends to be light concrete which is trivial to drill. But even 40MPa concrete is fine with an SDS, rent one if you don't wish to spend money on. In short drilling through outer walls is not difficult either.
Overtraining happens right after you start out, because you're not used to the training at that point. You're suddenly running a _huge_ ATP deficit, and ATP (and other metabolites) can't be produced on a whim, metabolism has to adapt. Many people stop right after they started because they exhausted themselves too quickly, instead of waiting 2 days and continuing then. Everybody should be worried about overtraining. Not only for mental health, but also metabolic and heart health. You know, sudden cardiac arrest and things like that.

I don't disagree at all with doing regular training. I'm doing 10km walks almost every day now. But everybody's metabolic capabilities are different, and rest periods are highly individual. Rest isn't optional, ask any bodybuilder.

What’s the issue with fitting messages in streams?
On one of my visits to japan my hotel had a toilet with a sink on top of the tank. Really loved the idea of flushing and washing my hands at the same time. The water used to wash your hands ends up being used for toilet water anyway. So you're not really wasting water at a completely separate sink.
If you're trying to use brute force to break this system it's important to realise that the search space is not all possible hashes. The search space is all likely names. This makes it trivial to break, especially for the CIA case where there are really only a few hundred likely adversaries.

The encryption/hashing doesn't really add anything beyond empty marketing. The trusted party who ppl report to could easily work out all of the names of they wanted to.

People can hold both reasonable and unreasonable opinions at the same time - especially across domains where they may be more or less knowledgeable.

Best to ignore the cult of personality altogether and focus on the merit of the argument.

If you remove politics, and focus on twitter. Then it takes someone a little wild to make the drastic changes discussed. If he makes the blue tick a paid option, promotes free speech from all sides, trims the fat, and explores new product ideas, then I think twitter could be in an interesting place in a year or two.

> You have to eventually decide to trust one or the other, in real-time.

More or less. You can take that decision on other grounds - e.g. "what would be safest to do if one of them is wrong and i don't know which one?"

The system is not making a choice between two sensors, but determining a way to act given unreliable/contradictory information. If both sensors allow for going to the emergency lane and stopping, maybe that's the best thing to do.
Yes, the name imaginary does it no favours. I was confused for so long about i, as it was never explained on classes, and it wasn't until 3blue1brown and other math youtubers showed me the light.

Depending on amateurs reviewing art does not scale. I do this scaling professionally, only relying on professionals, relying only on festival viewers (and certainly not audience festivals, but the best professional ones), and doing proper statistics to punish one-time viewers and outliers. This system cannot be gamed.

You only see the discrepance between US and World critics, the US being similar to the IMDb-India phenomenon, 2 pts too high on average, overly excited fans. And you see the phenomenon of first-town infighting amongst the professionals. Paris, New York, Vienna, London, Berlin critics usually have extreme standard deviations when fighting each others opinions. It would be best to exclude them, esp. the french ones. But with proper statistical measures they will be excluded automatically.

If living organisms can survive on a meteorite, they can definitely survive on moon/mars, which contradicts our observations.
I mean yeah, but it is a friggin ton heavy object moving at high speed controlled by a computer. Having another kind of sensor system to cross-check might be the reasonable thing to have, even if you happen to make it work well in 99% of the cases just with optics — the issue is that the other 1% kill people.

Your optical system can be good as heck till a bug hits it directly on the lense coving an important frontal area and make it behave weirdly.

Speaking from a European perspective, good work life balance seems increasingly compelling for many. My US based peers are still stunned when they learn that I have 32 days of paid vacation.

And while European salaries are lower than US ones, they still are high enough to make a decent living, especially if you’re working remotely from a lower cost of living country.

Regarding the economic outlook, unfortunately you are right. While economic uncertainty seems to be a common theme in a post pandemic world - the US markets took a pretty bad hit as well - the outlook for Europe seems far worse.
