Do you have any evidence for that?

Because [1] says that mackerel are of "least concern."

> Despite its highly commercial status, the Atlantic mackerel is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and global catch has remained sustainable.

Now, for herring: [2]'s most recent date was 2010. However, Google says:

"Is herring being overfished?
Image result for are herring going extinct
Population Status. According to the 2022 stock assessment, Atlantic herring is overfished, but not subject to overfishing. Summary stock assessment information can be found on Stock SMART. Herring populations are naturally highly variable."

[3] says "U.S. wild-caught Atlantic herring is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations."

The idea with A is that you will get a more representative sample if you follow up specifically with the people who did not initially respond. Yes, some will never respond, but the ones that do answer will increase the quality of the data, moreso than an additional random sample. The people who did not initially respond are more likely to be busy/lazy/unengaged, and without as many responses from that cohort, the data will be skewed.
All implementations can update the function because all function calls are resolved at runtime (e.g. the symbol is examined). I don’t know what happens with inlines and macros though — don’t know if any implementations recompile those.
Completely unrelated probably but who knows but this reminded me of the time when my McDonald's receipt printout from that self-ordering terminal started with a bunch of XML, then the regular receipt part and then ended in a bunch of XML. That was fun.

Slashdot's moderation used to be (maybe still is?) something like this. With meta moderators that annointed and oversaw the mods. At its heyday slashdot would have been far bigger than a small village - more like a giant metro.

That said, although /. lives on, it is only a shadow of its former self AFAIK. Perhaps that indicates unsustainability.

> Decentralization is super hard to achieve in anything other than a toy universe. "Proof of humanity" in theory is cool, but humans can be bought. Power will always tend to centralization when money exists. It's obvious when the decentralization key is computing power, as money buys more computers and results in centralized control. Even if unique brain patterns becomes the decentralization key, nothing stops two unique people from colluding and voting in the same direction. Nothing stops one person from purchasing the voting power of another person.

> I think Vitalik even said once that the only reason for small fish to buy governance tokens is in expectation of the price going up, and hoping they can be sold later to a larger fish, where the actual network is governed by a few. I don't see how "proof of humanity" is any different than this, since nothing stops collusion or other vectors for "vote buying". Centralization infects the very roots of decentralization. This is not an easy problem, and Bitcoin doesn't solve it, and no token out there currently solves it. There might not be any solution in the real world, where humans can communicate freely.

The parent comment is likely right, but it's engaging in a "it's not 100% perfect, so it's useless" fallacy: Just because we can't get 100% of the way there doesn't mean that the effort shouldn't be done in the first place.

The Bittorrent protocol is a good example of this, as the protocol's not perfect either, relying on centralized trackers for fast peering. Still, that didn't mean that the protocol couldn't improve, with Mainline DHT eventually being developed for the protocol. Even though it's still slower than a centralized tracker, it does its assigned job well & to great success.

Were such a viewpoint to be transplanted towards the Bittorrent protocol before DHT's creation, the parent would've likely viewed trackers to be "un-decentralizable" & therefore a waste of time. Attempts at decentralizing trackers would've been seen as a futile effort, as "they'll never be as efficient as centralized trackers".

In general, no working system is ever 100% perfect, so why is such an attitude still being projected upon all open-source projects?

It's likely that 100% decentralization will never be achieved, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't aim for at least 50%. The alternative is a nihilistic "we'll always need centralization" dystopia, & that fundamentally doesn't sit well with me all.

VSCode remote code execution advisory
With regards to retained mode overhead, I mean it across multiple forms not just the cost to redraw.

There’s the overhead of pushing updates to the UI layer from your app code, having it trigger an update, which in turn makes it check what other things have updated and what needs to redraw. UIKit is handling all that for you, but as a result you’re not getting full control of when you’re updating. You get pacing issues, where you can’t really guarantee you’re drawing at set intervals either which can lead to pacing stutters since you’re beholden to the apps event loop.

With an immediate mode UI in a game, yes there’s more cost to set up your draws, but you have more direct control of when everything will update because you’re handling the event loop more directly.

As for other priorities, I don’t mean just app priority. I mean intra-app priority. Lottie has to mix in with user code, the app it’s within might schedule a task with a higher QoS priority. It’s not just showing a fixed animation, it’s part of the app interaction model. So it’s easy to get into a situation where the rest of the app introduces stutters inadvertently.

Using CoreAnimation lets you sort of side step that discussion.

And yes I agree games have it harder over all because they have to handle everything. That wasn’t my point really. I think though that games have it easier when it comes to frame timing as a result of being able to control the entire event loop. So it’s easier for a game to reason about and guarantee smoothness of motion than it is for a framework that has to fit into arbitrary applications.
Inside Outside: on the significance of the Trips Festival (2020)
Wow, that worked great! Found some new names for a new hardware product we're launching. Thanks!
Sure, but that should be considered an accuracy problem. Telling a system to do its best to extract words from background sounds, and then getting words from it, is a different type of problem.

-------

I can't reply to the below, but you have to consider the difference in the signal to noise ratio for why it should be considered a different problem.

If I told a binary image classifier to classify a clear image of a cat as either a "cat" or a "dog", and it said "dog", then that would be an accuracy problem.

If I gave the same classifier an image of a black cat standing in a very dark room, where even a human would have trouble identifying it, and it says "dog" it's not an accuracy problem as much as a signal to noise ratio problem.

It seems like you're making the assumption that all of these have the issues you describe have the same root cause. I don't think that's a sound assumption...tehe.
They could probably do something like that, but you'd still be putting your credential into an input form on a third-party service and counting on that service to encrypt it.

The more concerning part to me is that, even with the best of intentions, this flow is completely indistinguishable from the TOTP phishing flow that we try to train users to avoid.
Wow! Thanks for sharing, I didn't explore the repo much beyond that link, this looks very promising, I was going to tomorrow but checking out the src and building now! The confidence color coding btw is chef's kiss. Great job with this.
The Interrotron
They don't give a shit because they don't know better. My wagon carries just as much cargo as a mid-size SUV but it gets 10-20% better mileage and can take a corner a hell of a lot more comfortably. It's just a much better driving experience.

Their loss.
From the article:

“The legislation on sex outside marriage and cohabitation is complaint-based, with only a husband or wife of a married person or the parents or children of an unmarried person able to report a matter to police. That means de facto foreign couples effectively can’t be denounced to authorities.”

If the law were to limit complainants to permanent residents and citizens, not overseas family members, it would not be a problem for tourists.
As someone who's been fortunate enough to work on and lead these kinds of projects (and watch coworkers work on them) I've come to a near opposite conclusion which is that sprints reveal how bad the ROI on this work tends to be.

The way many of these projects go is someone very smart works with subject matter experts to map out the problem space. The smart person (or people) then go and begin building this set of primitives and integrating the product, adjusting as they go along accruing some warts.

After 6-12 months we have this beautiful tool that improves developer velocity, new features are easy to code; then disaster strikes. It turns out the map of the problem space was wrong! A bunch of things the team believed to be invariants aren't! Suddenly business needs are forcing developers to tear down walls in their beautiful abstraction castle until all that's left is a tangled maze no other developer has a hope of understanding.

Now the project is a millstone around the dev team's neck rather than velocity boost they'd hoped for.

The way these projects more often succeed is some senior engineer pastes together an abstraction layer sends it out into the world. It gets heavily abused for years until finally the team says "We know this sucks, and there's a lot of business value if we make it nice, let's invest a bunch of time in retrofitting this" and fight like hell to make the business case. IMO this tends to lead to better projects and value (though unfortunately many companies make the fight harder than it should be)
> What is “weird” or “suspicious “ about these?

Lets go with simpler one.

Giving people 17 days to exchange all their cash under penalty of losing all of it is weird, suspicious and stupid. And evil or incompetent or both.

People responsible for that are responsible for massive amount of human tragedy without a good justification (no, good intentions do not count as one).

So Tesla is now going back and adding ‘HD Radar’ to the mix… after claiming it was a net negative and removing it barely a year earlier. No one saw that coming. <sarcasm>

For a company that partially exists because of the economies of scale and energy density gains in better battery tech, it always shocked me that Elon thought LiDAR was too expensive. In the time that Tesla has spent failing to achieve anything beyond level 2 autonomy, almost everyone else is about to release commercial vehicles at level 3… and they use LiDAR.
Well, there was an academic bias (I left academia for industry long ago but stay in touch with many past colleagues; she lived on the campus of $MAJOR_UNIVERSITY when we met).

I think it’s less that there aren’t an enormous number of lisp developers (though perhaps there aren’t) but ppl who use Lisp mostly do so in certain domains.
there's so many options that it's difficult to say.

Two options are immediately obvious:

First option is to serve only encrypted content, and only hand out the decryption key to the parties that need it. If it's web then you can use javascript to unencrypt- though I'm not a web developer and that could be cumbersome.

This was how we did it for uPlay.

Second option: Akamai/Google CDN have the concept of a "signed" URL: https://cloud.google.com/cdn/docs/using-signed-urls which does basically what you're asking, but can be cumbersome to use in practice too.
I would say it is a utter failure of a question if an expert in the topic is perplexed by the answer and there is (presumably) a supposedly correct answer.

Have you read The Three Body Problem?
Though I too get a little frustrated with the lack of doing deep programming sometimes, I'm extremely grateful that I don't have to manage a machine with a database. You know what sounds really boring, at least to me? Making sure the machine has power. And cooling, and proper backups, etc.

I am so, so grateful that someone else does all of that stuff, and I can pay cheap cheap rates for some space on that machine, and a few CPU cycles on another one, etc.
This creates a problem, and even risk, where clear-channel (in the generic sense, not of the firm that appropriated the name, see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear-channel_station>) stations whose signals may reach 1,000 miles or further at night will often report on local traffic and weather conditions using entirely generic terminology: "in the local area", "around town", "in the suburbs", "metro area", "twin cities", "tri-city area", "quad cities" (there are numerous of each), etc.

That might work if your station's reach is the typical 10--50 miles of an American FM broadcast (notable exception: San Francisco's KQED which can be picked up by direct line-of-sight at least 120 miles away as one approaches Yosemite on CA-120 near and east of Groveland, CA.

There's a similar issue I find with online news items from local broadcast (usually television) stations, which similarly utterly fail to note the city and state in which a story occurs, though at least in this case it's usually possible to punch the call signs into Wikipedia to find out where the station is located, something that's not always possible traveling remote regions by car at night. (Though to be fair, far more possible now than it was several decades ago.)
> Since 2016, Tesla has claimed that all its vehicles produced going forward have “all the needed hardware” to become self-driving with future software updates.

The specific claim in 2016 was that "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver":

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

Maybe they'll give free radar upgrades to everyone. Maybe it will be lidar installations next.

A Market Hype Cycle Winds Down
Probably nothing more than a requirement for resiliency. With thousands of restaurants, chances of a couple of them losing connectivity each day are going to be pretty good, through traditional interruptions like backhoes digging up cables and drunk drivers taking out telephone poles.

If those messages are discarded because the store can't talk to MSK (or MSK is unavailable), then things like automatic replenishment based on order volume couldn't happen. The store manager would have to do a daily physical inventory count to know how many bags of fries, boxes of drink straws, etc. to reorder.
You can't take it out of country without an export license- Someone else will have to comment on the process of doing that so they can take their camera on vacation or something

I mean I'd expect if they're already all-in on AWS they'd just use Firehose with some deduplication instead of whatever home-brew fallback solution they described, but other than that it doesn't seem like they built much?

What's impressive to me is that they need all that architecture. Mcdonalds sells under 100 burgers a second from what I can find, their order load is probably bursty, so assume maybe all the orders come in the same third of the day, so 300 per second, and every burger is it's own order... that's still not that much.

One order is more than one operation when you're dealing with everything a place at McDonald's scale, but even if you multiply by a factor of 10 to account for analytics, compliance, etc. 3,000 operations per second? Does that really require an entire Kafka-driven event architecture?

Tell HN: ChatGPT is like the invention of the spreadsheet
The spreadsheet (visicalc) is perhaps top 5 most revolutionary pieces of software ever created. It lets non programmers unlock a ton of computing use cases without hiring programmers. It’s a plausible programming environment for most people. Think of how hard it was to develop even trivial accounting software before the 70s?

ChatGPT similarly unlocks a lot of trivial natural language oriented programming tasks for real people. You can use it and a bit of prompt engineering to create simple interactive systems. Instead of unlocking the mathematical compute, like in a spreadsheet, you unlock the essentially most common human knowledge.

It’s thoroughly revolutionary. But like the invention of the spreadsheet, it’s not some zero sum game. Sophisticated systems require precise correctness. And we do currently write pretty terrible code on average. Perhaps because we’re burdened by so many mundane tasks that we can hand off to chatbots.

So don’t despair. Spreadsheeets didn’t kill programming as a profession. Neither will ChatGPT.
There is also the solution from Klein Tools which may use (not sure) Flir sensors...
There are various kinds of crystal sets.

I don't know the theory, though I did make one as a child.

It was the non-tuning type, and would pull in only the strongest-broadcasting local AM channel.

It's also possible to create a tuner which can pull in a specific station (or more accurately: frequency). These can also operate without a battery, though battery-powered radio is of course more versatile.
> It's unenforced

This is false, depending on the region.
>it's a fine question

>It's not a multi choice question

But it IS a multiple choice question, and it is ambiguous, which is why it's not a fine question. It's a sloppy, poorly constructed question, which isn't even enumerated correctly, allowing the instructor to select the "correct" answer based on unspecified reasoning, potentially discriminating against the person answering the question (which I suspect is the intention).
Those people don't have any governance power, they can't change the rules of the game. They only have the power to double spend or change the order of transactions in blocks.

It costs currently over $10B to pull off this attack, and the rest of the network can do a fork and burn all your tokens as soon as they notice. So game theory wise it makes no sense.
