skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I'm the other main dev (and co-founder) on this project. Some interesting things to note:

* This is all our data from our other site, so it is very real-world and diverse. We don't have a short list of supported categories like some of our competitors seem to use, but a single monolithic network that handles all inputs.

* We are really focused on speed and efficiency, so this is using a fairly small network compared to the huge networks that have been coming out in recent years. This keeps (our) costs and runtimes down, so the site is fast and we can offer more for free than our competitors without it hurting too much.

* This market (for background removal) has stagnated a bit, with the top couple players seeming a bit entrenched. This means there has been a lot less price competition than I would have expected, given how many upstarts there are. Unclear why that is, but we're hoping to shake things up a little.
What do you mean the receiver pays? You mean roaming?

Also: most plans in Europe include like 3000 free minutes/sms per month so nobody really pays for calls anymore here. The big bucks are in data.
Every camera does that to a degree pretty much by definition. I don’t think iphones would fair worth to their adherence to reaity than a “proper” camera does on auto.
I've tried the same but the graphics performance was too slow (no GPU acceleration). The current setup is to use a virtual machine but connect to it via VS Code's Remote SSH extension from the host.
>Unfortunately in modern society

Not that in ancient societies was any better, your place in society was practically decided at conception: your father was a fishermen, well you know exactly what you will be doing in your life, that you like it or not. Almost all the disorders typical of this new millennium seem to originate from an infinite liberty without a guid, a paralysis analysis of some kind if you like. "What will I do with my life?" was not a question that pestered my ancestor (I come from a country where, untill my father's generation, all jobs were de facto hereditary). "What is the purpose of my existence?" was a question with answers in the local religions. I hope that, in building the future, we will use something like the fichtean dialectics (wrongly attributed to Hegel):

thesis --> antithesis --> synthesis,

and that wi will be able to take back all things positive present in our traditions and assimilate in a modern vision of the world: it is evident that, taken in isolation, both visions of the world had negative aspects that greatly surpass their benefits.
>it says that Red Hat is not "true" open-source

This is true though as RH will terminate your contract if you redistribute their binaries. So they use a contractual backdoor to undermine GPL. And before people talk about how GPL covers source but not binaries, it covers binaries. In fact, all of CentOS, Rocky, Alma, etc. is a massive waste of everyone's time, energy, land, and electricity. Something akin to crypto mining. Everyone could have used RHEL, but we need this complicated indirection for no reason.
My memory is a little rusty, but I believe yes. If I remember correctly simulation of the virus helped medically in a few ways. Specifically I think it gave insight into the mRNA vaccines and what sequences to use to make them effective (by basically making a slightly worse spike protein). I am sure it helped in drug discovery as I know our lab used simulations to suggest some potential drug pockets. There were some really good talks about it at NVIDIA's GTC last year or so (maybe more at this recent GTC but I had too much going on personally to watch the VODs).
Not sure if you're referring to Surfside [1], which failed due to ignored maintenance in a highly corrosive environment. More importantly, has someone done the math to understand the realistic costs of ongoing maintenance of this building assuming rising sea water, and who is going to hold the bag (some combination of investors, owners, and insurers) if an honest accounting of this hasn't been done.

As a Vive owner, this is the first headset to really catch my interest since!

120hz and OLED are exactly what I've been looking for in a "next gen" headset. The inside-out tracking does give me some hesitation, but overall it's sounding like this will be an excellent piece of hardware. The biggest downside (and upside for general consumers, just plug and play) would be platform support limited to Playstation... Which I'm eager to see if community efforts try to bring PC support given the excellent hardware specs/price.
A moral high horse is great, but if you're stuck in the cycle where you learn destructive habits from your parents that are hard to overcome in adulthood, how do you break that cycle with out a nudge from society and policy makers?

> yet society and policymakers do very little about it depending on where you are.

I think your focus is misplaced. It is not policy issue, it is the general public itself that is the problem.

Policymakers tried, via prohibition, would you mark this as a success?

I dont drink, and never have so i am on the outside looking in. It is astonishing how "alcohol" is front and center in many things.

Hard day at work and you want to go out with coworkers.. Where do you almost always end up?

Want to celebrate something? Head over to the bar?

The root issues with alcohol are the same with other drugs, smoking, etc. Peer pressure, societal norms, etc.

Policymakers hands are basically tied.

On one hand they LOVE the revenue. Here (Canada) we have "sin taxes" and alcohol is heavily taxed. No government will want to forfeit this revenue.

Manufacturing alcohol provides jobs, inspecting it provides jobs...

If it is not legal, bootlegging will return.

I would also like to see a decline in Alcohol consumption, much as we saw with smoking.. but you need to take the successful aspects of the "quit smoking" program and apply them to alcohol.
Interesting; could this be because you've been using outdated C++ ? (legacy codebases started before C++98 tend to be particularly painful)

FWIW, I prefer the power of C++ over Rust's hand-holding; but can also see its appeal for someone that's not as confident over the minutia.

I think It's funny. the blog is literally the opposite of gate keeping, trying to get non FP people into FP. Even provides a book, a course, doesn't throw around Math terms and yet your argument is "Well, some FP practitioners are smug and suck, so why bother?"

Elixir is a functional programing language (It's not pure like Haskell or PureScript, but thats besides the point.)

The Elixir community is absolutely awesome! All or welcome.

There are soooo many resources for people to learn FP, the gate keeping thing may have been true ten years ago but I certainly don't think that the case today.
The mere idea of waiting for a kitchen appliance to "boot up" makes me angry. How did we normalize this madness? Telephones, TVs, car engine instruments, HVAC thermostats, why can't any of these be instant-on like in the 80s? Apply power and it starts working is a basic design principle.

I specified Japanese company for a reason... I've worked in 3 Japanese companies, 2 being "foreigner" (where they did not offer that) and one traditional Japanese (where they offered that).

I know 3 Japanese people (nothing to do with foreigners or foreign companies) that had their house paid by the company totally or partially, and they told me it was common in their company/industry. And those were large industries (train company, hospital, manufacturing).

Mine is anecdotal, but from how they described it it's an anecdote involving hundreds to thousands of people indirectly, so I'm very confident that it's not an isolated thing.

What about subtle formatting differences (Country, Territory, Postal code is the norm. Doesn't have to be.). What if we applied this to hand written addresses? (Adding an OCR component).

Alternatively, technology has advanced to the point where this kind of work is doable by the private sector.

Drastically more wealth concentration has existed in humanity's past, but they weren't building reusable rockets because of it.

Also, SpaceX in particular was founded and started advancing this technology well before Musk at least was anywhere close to such extreme wealth. You might be putting the cart before the horse.
> Inlinking third party resources is literally in the original hypertext specification of the web.

Indeed, but it was intended for real content. That intent is being abused by large corporations for tracking purposes and necessitates a heavy-handed block to it. Plus, including third party resources often ends up causing bitrot. It's much better to host your own copy of the things your site wants to load. You want to put in some 5 megabyte of javascript trash? Then you should pay the bandwidth costs for that too instead of letting someone else, with different motives, handle it for you. If you don't want to handle updates to that javascript library, if you don't want to pay for the bandwidth, if you want to offload all of that cost to someone else who doesn't care about the end user's privacy and functionality, then you are literally one of the problems with the "modern" web.

> An HTML site might want to play a video hosted by a third party, or load a shared resource.

There's no situation where I want website A to load resources from website B. Want to share a youtube video? Then give me a youtube link. I don't want to open some potentially malicious third party website which just loads a youtube link. If I don't want to use youtube _at all_ then your site will break too. If I get blocked or banned from youtube, then your site will break anyway and that's still a _you_ problem and not a _me_ problem. It's the same for images, audio, javascript, whatever. If you want it to load on my machine, then you should host it on your machine accessible from the exact same domain that serves your website.

> I would argue a browser that doesn't access resources on other domains or IPs is not a web browser at all, but instead some weird sandbox that lets you run a self contained app.

That is exactly what we have right now anyway. And I fully agree: browsers have turned into semi-sandboxes to let people run self-contained "apps". I don't want or like it and I argue that that very "model" of the web is not conducive to users' privacy.

In a world where your two options are object-oriented and functional, functional is naturally superior. But just because the last twenty years have had all the oxygen sucked up by object-oriented does not mean there are no alternatives to it other than functional. Like all good IEEE articles, it's seven years out of date: Rust is one of the most maintainable languages around, simply by embracing good old fashioned procedural programming. And the only practical example they give, null pointers, have been a solved problem outside FP for an even longer time.

I'm a bit confused as to what exactly this is supposed to be. It looks like it's supposed to be able to search across a bunch of stuff like Slack, Spotify, cloud storage, local files such as Word or PDFs, etc. But it also seems to be something with automatic organization of files? Could you give a bit of a rundown of what is expected to come out with the closed beta coming in about a month? And maybe a bit about why I might use this instead of searching Dropbox (where I have most of my files, and it can search file content), or using macOS Spotlight/voidtools Everywhere? (or Evernote if someone uses that, etc.) Not trying to be negative about what you're making here, I'm just not entirely sure what it is quite yet and the main value proposition it adds other than maybe a better search than what I already have access to. (which if done well would in and of itself be a huge value proposition, which makes me think of the old Google product that would index your computer locally and provided a search on top of it)

Something on that order, yeah. Looking through my phone's call log, I had a call with a friend in mid-August, and another with another friend in mid-July. Prior to that was a call with my mom in April and that's as far back as the log goes.

I've been complaining for years how touching ANYTHING in the ios phone app initiates a call. Can there be a setting for "confirm before calling"?

I'm always upgrading to Windows 11 after some big release and then quickly reverting back to Windows 10.

Things I can't live without:

- Ungrouping programs on my taskbar. For the love of god. I can't use a desktop without this;

- The right click on explorer is still beyond dumb with that absurd two step to go to the useful stuff.

- I "really" don't like how they grouped the icons on the traybar. On Windows 10 you can click on the wireless icon and then immediatly change your wifi. On windows 11 you need to activate that group settings and then click on the wifi item.

I'm well aware that I can install third party options to aleviate these painpoints, but it doesn't make a lot of sense install a bunch of third party software to fix things that I shouldn't be fixing anyway.

So, for the time being the plan is to use windows 10 until EOL and then hope that Linux is in better shape for my Hardware by 2025.
I think this has more to due with the contexts/industries we typically see Python used in over pure popularity. If popularity was the only factor I'd expect to seeing a lot more news about these problems in Java/PHP ecosystems which are absolutely massive.

C++ is still dominant in the AAA games world, and there's no signs of it ending its reigns at least at the engine level.

IMO it's not so much that there aren't talented C++ developers or "Rust is the new hotness", it's the long standing WLB/culture issues of the games or the finance industry that's causing many of them to burn out and move to FAANG/Microsoft/etc. (I'm one of them)

This, 100%. He has become very successful by showing up as an outsider to a couple of different industries and successfully challenging entrenched conventional wisdom, in ways other people had failed to do previously. It sort of seems like this has led him to (mistakenly, in my view) decide that all conventional wisdom in all domains is wrong, and that he is uniquely qualified to challenge it, which seems to have then led to him saying lots of demonstrably false things and generally looking like an idiot.

But it doesn't seem like there's any fundamental tension in assessing that in some domains he has done good/useful work and in other domains he's acting like an idiot. It needn't be the case that he's either an all-around genius or an all-around fraud/charlatan/megalomaniac/whatever.
Storage time is also important, and it's likely easier to store long term (Earth-Mars flight time is months) mid-cryogenic LOX and liquid methane rather than deep-cryogenic LH2.

I don't think it's a killer app problem so much as a general UX issue. I really love RE4, I've played it 100x on the GC and Wii, I could play it in my sleep.

I got it on VR and it was awesome. It was so much more intense and fucking cool and extra flexible (I can hold a knife and a shotgun at the same time???? fucking amazing).

The main thing is that I don't want to just play video games. I like to jump around a bit and do other things. Switching apps is just really annoying in VR, usually it's not even possible.

Probably a better example is Netflix. I usually have TV shows on throughout the day, pausing them constantly for seconds, minutes, or hours, as I do something else, or often letting them play in the background. Can't do that on my Quest 2, it's either "sit in front of a TV and do nothing else" or don't.

To me, these issues are really more OS level/ platform level. The VR UX is out of whack with how I want to use it. Individually though, I can say that my experience is that a VR version of something can be way cooler.

Also, I'd like to have a keyboard interface. If I could wear something like fingerless gloves + have a keyboard hooked up and I just sit at my desk with N virtual monitors that would be amazing. But again, that's not really an "app" problem, it's the OS/platform/UX.
