By an absolute quantity or an absolute measure? I daresay at least in India, the toleration for homosexuality, women, and general non-conformity is quite higher than it used to be. Casteism and religious hatred still exists in great quantity but has it improved relative to 1950? Probably? Things are not perfect but you’re underrating how awful they used to be.
The point is that iOS has always used a separate process for computing the GPU state. Android does this on the main thread, which is why Android feels like garbage.

Good times.
I'm always fascinated by these ultra-modern middle-eastern projects. While there is undoubtedly a concern to the focus of time, attention, and money on these projects (rather than daily-life for poorer natives), it is still interesting to see a government attempt developing "the future" complete with cinematic videos and "standard infrastructure but now in this cool shape."
Isn’t this kind of a social and cultural phenomenon though? It can’t be explained by means of a physical infection right, so it makes sense they have to reach for potential social or cultural answers?
You are completely right that TERFism is an issue. It certainly has a rapid onset and has been shown to be a pathway to white supremacy.

Terfism is a phenomenon where individuals who have previously identified as feminists or LGBT allies to suddenly adopt trans-exclusionary beliefs and begin to oppose the rights and dignity of transgender people. It also describes individuals who have undergone a sudden and dramatic change in their beliefs about transgender people who aren't feminists, often as a result of exposure to extremist or hateful ideas.

It certainly has been seen as a manifestation of prejudice and bigotry and is one of the reasons this commenter is using an anonymous account.

Sorry, I just really like the wording and wanted to make sure that people don't read that and think that there's some magic going on (like the "real" magic that goes on with eggs that make raw eggs safer to eat in some countries)

To your point about uncooked vegetables... the fact that that is what is left standing is a testament to us cooking meat and practicing proper food safety! I'm sure that stat would change quite quickly if people were having chicken sashimi more often.

Disclaimer: I eat sashimi quite often (steak tartar... sometimes. There are definitely restaurants I trust less to do that safely). Just also think it's important to conceptualize the size of the dice roll for various foods.

> 2. The transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake is driving the convergence of validators and exchanges.

...I have no idea what's being discussed here: Can you explain further into detail?

My best guess on this is that you're saying that exchanges, as a result of being the places where non-enthusiasts will park their their money at for safe investments into this space, will consequently be the place where we'll see more validators come online at, resulting in a concentration of network power accruing at the exchanges.

This has been a known problem with its own solutions, with Rocketpool being the leading case for decentralized staking. It's not perfect, but it allows for people to stake into a pool, & for validators to get the ETH needed to stake a validator node in a non-centralized manner, with improvements & lower validator requirements already being worked on. Stakewise is also going in this direction with DVT for V3.

This notion of a plain old lens has been around for a long time. See [0] for an example from 2007, but you can find this construct in functional programming at least back into the early 1990s.

However, it was hardly ever used in practice because it isn't polymorphic and, perhaps more importantly, it can only be used for accessing a single item from a record.

The reason for the explosion of interest in "optical" libraries in the 2010s is because of the development of other optics that can simultaneous access multiple fields (in order), access a functor full of fields (unordered), access field that maybe doesn't exist, pattern match on a variant, zip an indexed set of fields, etc. And all of this is done is both a composable, and transparent way.

Haskell's Traversable functors existed in 2008, and while your lens type can also be traversed, you have to explicitly convert it to a traversable to use it and, or compose it that way.

I'm sorry you feel the need to understand profunctors in order to use optics. Ideally the system would abstract that all way. Unfortunately in Haskell, some of these components leak out (how much varies from implementation to implementation) because this abstraction uses constraints and polymorphism in a very novel way. It's kinda amazing that Haskell's type system accepts it at all.

The alternative seems to involve a proliferation of casting of optics upon every use, requiring either chaining of casts or writing n^2 casting functions from between every related pair of optics.

Great! It means it's actually finding good names. Thanks for letting me know!
It would be lot
Cooler if there is an feature to show available names.
I have looked at these a lot and wondered when they'll push the bounds of their thermals-
I have owned some Therm-App cameras(384X288)(640X480), 30 hzsadly no longer sold as of recently - and it's been incredible having mid and HIGH grade thermal phone-based imaging- but a rugged phone is sturdier and more durable, which goes a long way.

I want to see 320X240(or the european equiv, 384X288), 640X480, and higher resolution thermals in them! Otherwise we're still hanging out around FLIR One Territory, and the years are going by fast and they aren't pushing the boundary really! Those Leptons are cheap, but haven't changed much! (And yes, FLIR MSX is a thing- but , owning thermal cameras with multiples the resolution- i'd take that over MSX if i had to choose, every time)

I see one competitor, the AGM ones like the AGM Glory Ones, (hard to see differences with their top models) , and a few other companies- have Night vision cameras with near-infrared illumination lights, for the user, as well- not just the thermal imaging- It's the dream to see as many different sensors and options in a phone as one can fit.

Trust me, they come into use- I've saved multiple pets in the dark in my neighborhood, spotted equipment that was about to ignite, and done so much more with my own thermal cameras- having MORE capabilities- actually goes farther than you can imagine, when you have them...
I think you're "begging the question." You believe that Tether is a fraud. You're using the fact that the price on a CEX and DEX are the same to justify that belief. "See, the price on a DEX matches that on a CEX, therefore Tether is a fraud."

Whether or not Tether is a fraud has nothing to do with the price match on a CEX and DEX. The price on CEXs and DEXs will always match due to arbitrage.

(This isn't a statement on whether or not Tether is a fraud. I'm just pointing out that the price on a CEX and DEX will always match with sufficient liquidity in the market).
So everything I just read in this article... it all came from a model that just "predicts the word most likely to come next"... that's it? None of this was intentional? I don't know how you begin to comprehend what this thing is or how it was created.
We used simple bit spinlocks early in the multiprocessor scalability work done on the Linux kernel. While nearly "optimal" in terms of memory usage and simplicity, they tend to fall apart rather dramatically on systems with higher core counts. But they're a great step in the process of learning how to walk before running on bigger MP systems...

The road that connects my subdivision street to the rest of the city I live in is woefully under-engineered--but it wasn't when it was built. It used to be your simple country farm road. The road has no sidewalks and no paved shoulders; the white lines are inches from soft dirt. The speed limit is 35 mph, but most drivers now drive at least 45 mph. In the past couple of years, tons of people have moved into my city from the far-away coasts, increasing traffic greatly on the road. The city obviously can't keep up as the city was primarily a retirement community and agricultural center.

The city is partially responsible because it has allowed development to occur too rapidly. The city's road infrastructure simply can't keep pace. Hell, most of our roads don't even have pipe drains but instead use culverts designed 100 years ago.

It's a sorry state.

...cameras might do the same thing, but only with considerably more effort, and due to the storage requirements of video footage, it's less likely that landlords would process the footage in time to form a simple entry/exit log. App-based fobs skips the whole processing step, and the data collection occurs on the phone, not on some device outside the owner's possession (the camera). I'd say it could be easily rejected by tenants in Europe based on GDPR, but not sure about America.
You don't need to become a Twitch streamer or anything, I expect the main developer of a significant open source library would have a similar advantage in adjacent industries.

On the other hand, having both Windows and Mac, I probably use my Mac more often when it comes to gaming. At the very least 1:1. Or 1:1:1 if I include my iPad.

Ask HN: What is the best way to distribute static content with authentication?
Historically, if one wanted to limit access (either for security reasons or paying customers etc), a server would be handle the authentication and then serve up the content. This could clearly still work but doesn't leverage the power of modern day CDNs.

How does one approach content delivery when the access to the content should be limited? Should a server provide the authentication and then pass along a token that is used to access the CDN? Can the CDN handle token signature verification or other forms that would allow a particular user to be cut off or a cert to be revoked if it was compromised?

I am looking to setup a system to distribute access to some artwork (still and video) and would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction or shared experiences around best practices for this type of setup.
What excites me about about ChatGPT is the fact that you can take a lot of data and a huge model and make it do something cool. Right now, "making it do something cool" costs tens of millions of dollars. If that cost can be brought down to the 10s of thousands of dollars, I think we'd start to see really mind blowing applications.
This is a logic failure; I didn't say specifically or exclusively brains, I provided an example of one of the many gruesome ways your dead body would cause harm to others based on your poor decision making skills.

Can't imagine it would be any different result. 10 minutes preheat on any range is a lot. My cast iron pan started turning silvery blue well before the 10 minute mark with my gas range on high.
> What happens if, one day, there is no node that feels like serving your request? The data is gone. All gone.

One stated objective of the Ethereum project is to ensure that a whole blockchain node can run on a consumer PC. This does limit how much data can be stored, but it also means that if you yourself are interested in keeping a copy of the data, you can run a node yourself.

As it currently stands, there are tens of thousands of identical copies of the Ethereum blockchain that are distributed around the world. It seems very unlikely that the data will disappear within our lifetimes.

> There is no system that guarantees redundancy, just upload and pray that the economy sustains itself.

I don't know if there are any guarantees in life, but the ongoing availability of Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchain data seem to be as close to it as you can get, given how many copies are already out there, and the ongoing incentive that exists to keep them up-to-date.

Do you really trust, say, Google Cloud (or any Google product) to last as long, given their history of shutting things down arbitrarily?

Even AWS's services are subject to prioritization decisions made inside Amazon. How can you really know whether or not the service you depend on is profitable enough to ensure that it won't be discontinued? Or that some corporate VP whose bonus depends on the success of a competing product won't make it his mission to shut your service down?

> I can appreciate this is much less of a problem for the more popular chains, but in any case, there are wayyy more than 1M tweets a day.

You can't run a service like Twitter on Ethereum, but you can timestamp more valuable content that is generated at a lower volume. A specialized Layer 2 application chain that runs on top of Ethereum could conceivably be built to handle larger volumes at lower cost, however.
I'm unfortunately aware, but you don't need every possible permutation to have a unique identifier. That's like trying to enumerate all 2^256 or so Bitcoin private keys. It's a stupid way to approach the problem.

Two of my mates run these phones, and while the FLIR camera is cool (and extremely handy for fault finding in HV switchboards and so forth), the rest of the phone is quite lacklustre.
No, because the economics are different. To put some things in context:

- Cost of the Saturn V development program: $6.417bn then / $35.4bn in 2020 dollars

- Cost of TSMC's Arizona fab: $12bn now

- The Saturn V program launched a handful of humans into space for $0.185bn then / $1.23bn now per launch.

TSMC's fab may cost a lot, but it produces a very large number of chips and, most importantly, it's reusable. The most density- and performance-sensitive applications use the newest fabs first, but the fabs are not thrown out immediately after a newer process is developed. Instead, the older fabs start making cheaper chips that don't need leading-edge performance. All of that up-front cost is amortized over a decade of continuous use.

If investors had poured money into rockets instead of chip fabs, we wouldn't have had everyone going to space. The investors would have just lost their shirt. Space has inherent costs we can't engineer around (e.g. fuel) and getting there is primarily a scientific endeavor rather than a consumer good. Keep in mind, there's nowhere to go[0] in space once you get there, except back to Earth.

Meanwhile, chips are something everyone needs now, and owning a fab is still a profitable venture even when the R&D costs go up - at least, for as long as the manufacturing technology works and people are willing to pay a premium for better chips. It's not purely an R&D arms race.

I guess corruption falls under "among other problems"? Why can't we use that word in America? We all know the word. And we all know its force is alive and well here.
