I had read a couple of Grisham's works some years ago and found them enjoyable.

I thought I had never read Crichton (just not into dinosaurs) until I realised that I have infact read his State of Fear many years ago. However, I have no recollection whatsoever of its story.

Another author who uses formula seems to be Dan Brown: everything happens within 24 hours, there's a hero with lots of travel (atleast an Atlantic crossing and back — which if you think about it screws up the 24 hour timeline IRL) a pursuing villain who's low-key psychopath, a parallel storyline...

It's quite enjoyable if you're reading him for the first time, but by the time you're into 3rd book you'll start to see the formula and then whatever you're reading instantly loses its appeal.

I have decided that, life's too short to be reading low-quality work, and now I try to read classics and other renowned works.

Of course, with this strategy you might end up missing good works by independent authors. So, keep an open mind.
Sure, you would need a suicide cord to power the pair through one side though.

If you know what you are doing, you could probably decouple the AC from the radios or power both sides with 5vdc or similar.
You could drop blind tower repeaters everywhere to make signal strength based triangulation useless, but short of that the only solution is to not carry a cell phone or at least keep them in airplane mode.

Apps like Briar can allow people to communicate peer to peer.

> After that we had Dilma's second term in very tough circumstances, the unlawful imprisonment of Lula, an impeachment that was deemed a coup by many, followed by 2 years with what was an interim President at best and a tyrant at worst, and Bolsonaro's ascension afterwards.

This whole paragraph is partisan bullshit. I’m not interested in further interactions. Enjoy the win of your pet criminal and have a good night.
I’m probably missing something here but usually a “business” looks to fundraising because it has some goal/need which requires money it does not currently have.

Usually this goal/need has some eventual outcome of generating revenue (whether directly or indirectly) and in doing so, paying its investors back.

Are you asking how to “raise funds” for some specific purpose or because you’ve built “an app” that uses “hot” tech to see how many thirsty “investors” you can get to send you money?

I’m not necessarily saying you can’t “raise funds” just for the sake of doing so (without any clear use for the funds and without any revenue) but unless you have experience/reputation for building valuable businesses/ip, connections to cc’s/capital who trust you’ll make good on their investments, id be kinda surprised if you get any checks.

That said, do lmk if you score - I’ve got a retired mining rig turned gpu farm for SD running with custom (locally trained/tuned) models as well as all of the 4chan/Reddit/etc ones as I’m sure many HNers have :)

Best of luck
I don't know much about AVIF (I guess the same concern applies though), but for JPEG XL there are actually two knobs for compression: distance or quality (`-quality` in ImageMagick) and effort (`-define jxl:effort`).

Distance is the target perceptual metric (Butteraugli), while effort controls a variance of the perceptual metric of the encoded image---which can be never accurate. Higher effort means more consistent quality but more computation as well. The default for cjxl, and probably also ImageMagick, is 7 ("squirrel"), which is very high and very slow as you noted. This is much like Brotli defaulting to the highest setting (-11) because both assume that you can spend much more time in compression. If it's not your assumption you should change that.

I do feel that this aspect of JPEG XL is not well communicated. Normally you have a single knob (quality) and increasing quality means more time spent for compression, but in JPEG XL this can be easily decoupled---very useful concept but also relatively alien one. A common mistake is to set the highest effort (9, nicknamed quite appropriately, "tortoise") for speed benchmark, which suggests that there will be people doing this in the production and complaining that JPEG XL compression is very slow, not realizing they can live with much lower efforts.
sorry tapping out of this thread but the short of it is that I think people act to serve their own class interests and that that trumps whatever one might know about anthropology
Good? Why are there people who think it should be a status symbol, to by recognized by twitter staff of all people as "noteworthy?" It's ridiculous and more than a little pathetic that people considered it a valid status symbol to begin with, and it should be dismantled as such. It's not called a "status symbol and we like this person mark" it's called "verified".
> Are you considering penitence to be a subset of rehabilitation? There's a reason they're called penitentiaries, after all.

That reason is because “penance” is, in ecclesiastical law, the earthly penalty for sin, and a “penitentiary” is a place dedicated to the experience of those consequences.

The connection to “penitence” (“the action of feeling sorry and regret for having done something wrong”) is more distant. (Also, the desire to cause penitence is more directly retribution, though it can be viewed as instrumental to rehabilitation.)
Trips me up as well, perhaps because I'm a non-native speaker. The mention of torrent in a networking-related context will immediately make me think of the bittorrent protocol.
The feature request might prove to be good. The cost is quite high though but the time to deliver on it is definitely too low.

The big limits of LiDAR are cost, more than anything. There have been dozens of public driving trials where from a functionality level the answer has been positive (apart from traffic lights, the bastards), but nobody wants to buy a solution with a six figure BOM, before integration.

I wrote about the differences and advantages of both networks here after using them for several years. Will probably be useful for people considering Mastodon.

I think the comment is there to serve as a catch can. It comes from a professor at an university in the communications department. Kind of just shoved right in to the article in my opinion.

I think today's young people know that if they are under a certain age that the legal ramifications of doing things is low (you're just a juvie). While at the same time things like this give them a high reward and credit for doing it. I believe that this will just give lower bars for tried as an adult in legal courts. Also, monkey see, monkey do.
I've been looking for something like this for a while. Really nice and clean UI. there's so much potential for question generation, but one of them is helping people understand whether they got through a page or section with good comprehension before they move on to the next section
One interesting thing about the XView toolkit: it built the entire UI out of fonts (bitmap fonts at the time). It supposedly allowed faster rendering because the fonts were loaded and were server side.

I actually used the low layer display layer under XView for some UI projects. Worked great!

While I'm here, the other nice thing about programming in SunView (and later XView) was the use of varargs call patterns to build UI elements. Early X development, as I recall, was significantly more verbose than the Sun equivalent, though probably more type safe. The *View APIs felt a little more like today's high level languages.
IIRC a single user had a sarcastic "kill count" added to their profile description, which was then reported as the website itself having that.
From the article:

>The directive is to change Twitter Blue, the company’s optional, $4.99 a month subscription that unlocks additional features, into a more expensive subscription that also verifies users

Sure sounds like they’re planning on giving blue checks to anyone willing to pay. It wouldn’t make financial sense otherwise; there are currently only around 300k verified users, so this would only generate a maximum of $6M/month in revenue.
I'd imagine part of mandated interoperability would be regulation forbidding such ToS.
Rethinking DAWs: Components
The details matter. Depending on how you contract for support, etc. 6x on optics may be the logical choice as compared to being in some situation where the vendor won’t fix stuff until you verify that it’s broken with their OEM parts.

If you’re the largest employer in the state, there may be some personal implications to a CIO telling a major OEM to f-off.

Yes it is. A responsible consumer ISP that's a good citizen on the Internet takes responsibility for everything that comes out of their system which includes, in practice, blocking ports for customers unless the customer calls tech support to get it unblocked. It also includes blocking outgoing DDoS traffic and kicking customers offline until they resolve the issue. And blocking spam sending bots. Unless you think keeping infected Windows PCs and rooted webcams online is a good thing.

Of course, not all ISPs do this, which is why DDoS attacks are still a thing, but the point remains, that responsible ISPs will take steps to prevent malicious traffic on the Internet from exiting their systems.

Oh and as a quick follow up, it’s probably best not to give up any equity at all (aka not raise funds - borrow if really needed but otherwise bootstrap) if you can.

If you really believe there is a revenue generating business there the worst thing you could do is give equity away at a value far below what you believe it’s worth
There is implicit lying by omission, in your favor, in these kinds of situations. You create value through scarcity but some won't know why the value is there, while others will take a long while to catch-on, giving you plenty of time to capitalize on the running-on-fumes value by lowering the scarcity.
How is that different from paper polls? Once you deposit the ballot you don't keep any record of your vote.

One of the reasons for the vote being secret and not leaving the ballot is to avoid people being coerced to vote for any particular candidate.

In Brazil we have the concept of electoral corrals. This is a known and wide practice, although it was much worse in the past. Electoral courts and processes have been fighting this since the early days of Brazilian democracy.

In a nutshell, this is when someone who holds a certain amount of power over many individuals (an employer, a farmer, a community leader, a church pastor, etc) exercises this power in order to coerce people into voting for their favoured candidate even if it goes against the individual's best interests and preference.

They would make people prove that they voted for candidate A, or get fired, expelled from the community, perhaps even fear for their or their family's lives.

These practices still happen and have increased massively this year compared to previous elections, but they're still lower than they used to be.

If people left the ballot with proof of whom they voted for, it would be much easier to coerce them.

With a secret vote being enforced the way it is, individuals still have the choice to agree with their superiors but cast whatever vote they want.

It's not perfect. Like I mentioned, the problem still exists, but it's reduced.

Like other commenters have already said though, the ballots are auditable (and audited).

I would rather our systems and processes keep improving rather than going back to worse ways just because what we have now is not perfect.

Is it misogynistic to revel in the female form?
I agree on that point. For self driving to be accepted, it has to be at least as good as a good driver. Drunks, oldsters, youngsters, and the like all push the average down. Many normal people are actually pretty good drivers statistically, and those are (perhaps not coincidentally) the ones most likely to be in a position to afford a fancy new self-driving car.
Does KYC help to prosecute Microsoft support scammers?

KYC's purpose is to prevent you from transferring money anonymously. However there still are methods to do this (for example, gift cards or betting on sports).
I totally agree. However, if you have the means to spend a bit more on appliances (with payoffs 5-10 years out), then you can easily reduce energy / water (ignoring grass/crops) usage by about 75% vs 10-20 years ago with zero lifestyle impact.

Not doing that is needlessly wasteful.

In the particular case of showers, get a High Sierra shower head. They have more apparent flow / pressure than a full flow one, but use a small fraction of the water. They cost under $50 and are extremely reliable. (Never had one clog, and never did any maintenance on one, even with extremely hard water.)

The article estimates scavenging the bath water heat would reduce total energy consumption by 1.2%. This is much better achieved by lowering the thermostat, or showering less often in the winter. (Or buying a low flow showerhead -- see above!)

Note: No affiliation with High Sierra. Happy customer for a decade, across multiple homes. We currently have a 1.5 GPM, but I throttle it down with the trickle valve. The 1.25 GPM is totally fine; the trickle valve might make sense for it too. Note that you can customize colors, etc:

As a small customer I’ve experienced them doing the complete opposite. I’ve had a 1u collocated at one center or another for the last ~15 years and occasionally we would be the target of a DDoS. The data center would just blackhole us until things calmed down. It’s better than a surprise bandwidth bill but certainly not great.

Lula’s party has a history of totalitarian tendencies and of siding with dictatorships (Cuba, Venezuela, Libya, Angola, etc) and a well known desire to control the media (of course, they call it “democratizing the media”).

If dictatorships, totalitarianism and state-sponsored censorship are not fascist, I don’t know what is.

The most important aspect experience gives you is ability to understand the full picture, how what you are doing affects the system as a whole. The second thing experience gives is the ability to jump to solutions (that won't fail in production) quicker when the requirements are incomplete because domain knowledge grows.
There was never a communist society on Earth, even if you take the propaganda of the countries that are colloquially known as "communist" at face value. The people, and the parties that they formed, called themselves "communist" because they were supposedly building communism. However, not USSR, nor China, nor any other place ever claimed to have succeeded at it.

The "who owns the means of production" problem was to be solved by socialism. Which then supposedly enabled the higher productivity and faster development that would lead to the true post-scarcity society - which would be communism. This is especially evident in Soviet sci-fi, which would often poke over that boundary - e.g. Yefremov's description of future communism in "Andromeda Nebula" and "The Hour of the Bull", or Strugatsky's in the Noon Verse series.
The tests can be ordered though a few online services. You pick the lab test, a doctor rubberstamps it and then go to Quest or LabCorp to get the blood draw. A few days later they send you the results. I don't think you can bill the insurer but the costs are not always that expensive for some of the common tests.
I used powerline for a while. I was into Cisco networking at the time and had some spare devices, so I setup an IPSec tunnel over the adapters. Extra overhead and config, but it was fun and made my traffic 'safe' over powerline.
Err, there are very obvious "beginner" mistakes that don't have to do with "smashing" out code:

Things like: State in strings instead of properly defined enums / data structures. Magic numbers instead of constants. Dangerous error handling. Compiler warnings. Missing or incomplete input checking. Anything vulnerable to SQL injection, or similar. Significant copy and paste within the same codebase.

When a developer with more than a few years experience writes code like that, (except in throwaway situations,) then there's a clear problem.

More subjective signs of a poor coder are: Super long methods, (or too many sort methods.) Passing around a single value but always picking a new variable name. Inconsistent naming conventions. Sleep statements to fix race conditions. Unnecessary special cases. Incorrectly using an ORM. Code that is many orders of magnitude slower than need be. (IE, sucking the entire DB into ram for just one value.)

Some language specific warning signs: Lots of "unsafe" (pointers) in C#. Lots of unwarps in Rust. Bounds issues is c/c++.
There's nobody you can complain to to get your money back from paypal in many situations, especially when it comes to receiving payments. If you use a credit card or have a bank send them money you have better options, but many people scammed by paypal have no recourse when they are on the receiving end of the money (which is the primary reason you'd have money held in paypal to begin with, as typically if you're sending it along you're not letting it sit there in the account).
I suppose that happens in tech startups a lot.

(One of the main reasons a side startup of mine fizzled a few years ago was because neither of us wanted to be the CEO, and we didn't know how to find one we'd trust not to kill the magic that would get us the users in the first place.)

> On August 24, 2022, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene stated in an interview with NewsMax that she was swatted twice by an individual claiming to be Kiwifarms moderator "AltisticRight". She demanded that the website be shut down.

I think it's naive to accept claims like this at face value.

Kiwi Farms is an extremely controversial website that people are constantly trying to take down by any means necessary, including DDOS and hacking. Isn't it suspicious that in the midst of a massive public campaign against KF, someone SWATs a far-right political figure and then calls back to say "by the way I am <well-known user> on KF"?
> Grapefruit is known to interact with certain medications —sometimes adversely — so the researchers caution people on prescription medication to consult with their doctor or pharmacist to determine whether their medicine will interact before consuming grapefruit products. Appropriate exercise, well-balanced nutrition and avoidance of tobacco also are important factors in reducing the risk of heart disease, health experts say.

This. (From the article) if you are on almost any kind of meds, talk to your doctor before eating grapefruit if they are not already aware of this component of your diet.

I still get asked about it, and garlic quite a lot. Which is reassuring.

it can (I believe) interact with a huge number of treatments.
