I've got two large format cameras.

One is a Horseman L45 which is a monstrosity that has a rail. It can only be used on my largest of heads (a bogen 3047 head).

My other large format camera is a Horseman HD field camera.

While the L45 is a beautiful camera, it is, by itself, a 10 lb camera that can only really be carried in a suitcase sized hard case that supports the rail properly. (Not my camera - but it gives you an idea - https://www.ebay.com/itm/364081119414 ).

The HD field camera is the one I'd take lug around in a slightly oversized messenger bag. http://www.bnphoto.org/bnphoto/LFN/CamProf_Horseman1.htm

The front standard of the HD had some reasonable movements. There was also a FA ("fine art" rather than "heavy duty") one that had a little bit of rear standard movement but was a bit heavier and less rugged.

My favorite use for the HD camera was doing a in field polaroid transfer onto a watercolor paper postcard which then got a stamp on it and went into a mailbox or giving it to a person who was interested in it as I took the photograph. These were necessarily a one of a kind image as the process was destructive to the polaroid. I might still have one in a book of watercolor paper as I was working on learning the process at Fort Point (hallway, 2nd floor, south side of the building, shooting west) as that was a place that was often quiet enough to photograph without disturbance and the staff was amenable to a photographer with a tripod.
Okay, I'm not Canadian, and I'm not going to pretend to be intimately familiar with how things work there. But then I read appalling anecdotes like this one:

https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/10/13/medical-assistance-de...

> “I don’t want to die but I don’t want to be homeless more than I don’t want to die,” shared Farsoud.

One doctor has already signed off on his euthanasia and he only needs one more.

I don't know how common this kind of story is but it shouldn't be ignored - and it's the exact kind of thing that all those scary right wing monsters warned would happen if we didn't listen to them.
I'll give you a few minutes to read [1] and [2] before I reply earnestly. I know it takes more than 10 minutes to read them because, and this is true, I have read them. The answer to your questions is there. They did.

Why did they stop at a fine? I don't know. Maybe there were jurisdictional issues, maybe the Feds were/are looking at it. Heck maybe they thought it would be better if the thing fell in on itself so they weren't viewed as the entity that took down crypto. I dont work at DoJ so I can't tell you. Doesn't change anything though.

On the other hand I've given you plenty of night-time reading where you can find the answers to basically every question you've asked me.
Others have pointed out why this might (not) be code red for Google, but I'll say that it's code red for every ad-supported site on the internet: just as artists are up in arms over stable diffusion, this potentially abstracts information at a level that simple fact extraction doesn't.

Once upon a time, Google presented information from Answers.com along with search results. There was a link, so Answers didn't mind much (I worked there around that time).

Then Google started displaying facts from Google Knowledge Graph alongside search results, cutting out Answers (which had a favored status) and every other site that tried to monetize how tall Abraham Lincoln was (6'4").

Now Safari lists that information in the Siri Search Suggestion, potentially cutting out Google.

In any case, whether it's Apple, Google, OpenAI, or someone else, a service that digests the internet and then offers up e.g. "jokes about going fishing" potentially destroys the market for people to publish jokes about fishing.

FYI, I just tried, and Chat GPT's jokes about fishing are awful. e.g.:

Why was the fisherman always calm?

Because he had a lot of baits!

The fishing humor section of the internet is safe for now.
Yeah. For big fantasy series I much preferred the Malazan books. Sanderson is fine, but if somebody really likes those books I know I can mostly ignore their other recommendations because our tastes just differ too much.

That’s not to say hard magic systems can’t be done well, I think Robert Jackson Bennett does a superb job in the Foundaryside books.
As far as I can tell, the only benefit of this scheme over content hashes and signed outputs is that Guix can serve their updates over HTTP. Otherwise it's vulnerable to the exact same scenarios as Nix: the rogue Git forge employee/maintainer can replace signatures just as easily as they can package sources.
DevonThink. Literally the perfect application for this if you’re in the Apple ecosystem. I went into detail here about my workflow:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33757241

It has now evolved so that I group articles in folders by year and month e.g 2022 -> 12 -> article. I think for the coming year I may even group them by week and then at the end of each week do a review where I identify my favourite articles which I could then use for part of a newsletter. And then having a “favourite articles of the year” come next December.

It cost Americans tax payers $800000 per job for the few extra jobs created by the washing machine tariff- www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2019/04/23/trumps-washing-machine-tariffs-cost-us-consumers-every-job-created/. Do you have any data that supports your claim?
Most of the "news" is propaganda or advertorial marketing campaigns. If you want to make sure you don't get caught with your pants down if something affecting you happens then let someone else live on that content treadmill. Find a few newsletter digests by people you trust and read those daily or weekly. The only people who need to keep up with the news cycle are the ones creating it and using it to psyop their enemies and marks. Everything else is better when it's had time to mellow. Skip the hot takes. Wait for the cream to rise. Focus your life on things within your control. You'll be happier.
Nix and Haskell? You and I must work at the same place.
I am not sure if I would turn it into a business but one of my plans is to have many happy chickens and many freeze driers running 24/7 to make healthy freeze dried eggs. One goal being to contribute a percentage of them to low-income people and disabled veterans in my area. They retain taste and nutrients for 25 to 30 years. This project is on hold until the cost of steel comes back down a little bit but it will eventually happen.
Not at all. I tried to have it solve a common issue with desktop software, and it confidently told me how to fix it using settings that don't exist in the app and have never existed.
one thing I always think about is:

- a human is a "generally intelligent" being, great.

- humans know a lot of things, great.

suppose there was a website - human.ai - that let you speak with an actual human and you could ask it questions and it gave you answers. this would be slow since humans do not optimize for processing speed.

for conversation let's say humans would take no longer than 1000ms to respond to your query on this website. excellent.

now, would this site be better than Google? in some ways, way better. but just like a real person, it would require much back and forth to get the intended answer from the human, just like it would with your friend.

I'm convinced there's something missing. precognition + training on your own life?

this is all to say that I'm not sure conversational search is better in general. some sort of precognitive search would be great. with enough context I'm sure you could have a fairly high confidence on what you want next (ironically this is how language models work to some degree, but it needs to be extended generally speaking)
Does Apple need to catch up with Qualcomm and MediaTek in terms of raw gpu performance when Apple can optimize software and apis given to developers to work on its hardware? Or am I really out of date and is their public evidence of Qualcomm and Mediattek outperforming apple's hardware in real world workloads?

Nvidia primarily makes add on GPU's, if I understand their business correctly. Apple integrated a GPU onto its m2 (or whichever chip is used in their studio) that performs comparably to the 3060, and even beat the the 3090 in some benchmarks/workloads. I think that's pretty impressive.
Military history is full of a simple concept. Big Powers don't give a shit about what small powers want.

Look at what Israel or Pakistan or Saudi or Japan or South Korea or Taiwan or Iraq or Afghanistan or literally every African country actually ask for. And look at what they are given.
Just a nit pick but those who usurped Kodak’s ceded digital camera market only had about ten to fifteen years of market left. Most people gave up their point and shoots as soon as phone cameras achieved near parity with dedicated cameras. Today phone cameras are better than dedicated point and shoots and only full frame 35mm and above are better (in raw format). Phone do a lot of fancy processing to make up for the small lenses.

The point is that profit wasn’t in cameras or devices but in the multi-purpose handheld computers connected to captured services.
> There's a reason I'm picking silk.

Your entire argument seems to hinge on silk (or palladium, or tritium) being uniform in price. In silk's case that's demonstrably false: https://www.thepricer.org/silk-fabric-cost/

Comparing to precious metals, on that note, is folly; there's a fixed amount of said precious metals on Earth, whereas one can always breed more silkworms and plant more mulberry trees to feed them. That is: the supply of palladium and tritium is inelastic, while the supply of silk is elastic. Put simply:

> There is a fixed cap of most other things.

And silk is not among them.

Regardless of that elasticity of supply: if Wal-Mart buys silk from your silk-seller at $40/yard, do you think Wal-Mart is inclined to resell it at $40/yard? A 0% profit margin leaves Wal-Mart with zero reason to buy and resell silk; either Wal-Mart has to raise the retail price or has to negotiate for a lower wholesale price.

(This is, mind you, assuming Wal-Mart has precisely zero costs w.r.t. inventory management and retail sales; in practice, buying silk for $40/yard and reselling it for $40/yard would represent a loss)

As a result...

> The silk seller returns your laugh. "That will be $40 a yard still."

...and Wal-Mart laughs back, saying "aight we'll go to your competitor". Your silk seller's competitor hired a bunch of those TikTok-inspired young adults to raise silkworms and harvest/sort/boil/defloss/reel/twist/dye/weave their silk, such that labor costs drop by $5 per yard. As a consequence...

> The price of silk does not move. Not one inch.

...said competitor responds to Wal-Mart with "sure, we can do $35/yard", thus securing a hefty chunk of revenue while letting Wal-Mart handle all the intricacies of retail sale. Your silk seller now bears the opportunity cost of refusing to differentiate between wholesale and retail prices. Sure, this particular silkmonger could sell direct to consumers, making him a competitor of both the other silk seller and Wal-Mart... but now he's bearing the costs of silk selling itself and the costs of pursuing a bunch of individual retail customers, and very likely doing the latter far less efficiently than Wal-Mart due to the vast differences in economies of scale.

Do you think soup kitchens/pantries offer 3 meals a day? Can't keep leftovers without refrigeration. Most don't even offer food every day let alone give enough to keep people not hungry.

There's an expansive gulf of misery before you hit the Christian Children's Fund commercial, 5yo w/rickets starvation. I assure you that you have absolutely no clue what it looks like and what you've seen hasn't told you what you think it has.
I was able to purchase a LTO-7 library full of tapes a few years ago for basically nothing, and still haven't gotten around to using it. There seems to be very little in terms of free, automated software for managing the system and performing tasks such as backups. tar doesn't exactly cut it for hands-off usage.

The best I've found is using Veeam Backup & Replication, but it's Windows only and not great still.
In a similar (origins) vein, pocket calculators are 50 years old, most notably the HP-35 [1] (first scientific pocket calc)

> Look how quickly Shorts copied TikTok.

But they didn't copy the engagement or the traffic figures for that segment, and that's even after doing everything they can to ram them down your throat to the point of making youtube less appealing (shades of Google+ there).

Meanwhile TikTok is alive and well. It's not my thing but I've yet to see someone spontaneously point me to a Google short whereas I can seem to escape the TikTok link bombardment.
I have been playing around with django for the first time in almost 5 years recently, and it’s so much more productive. Wondering if I should try out rails.
Absolutely agree with you on that front. Go's tedious error checking and manual rewrapping is pretty annoying and I'm sure there's a smarter way to do things waiting to catch on. That being said, I prefer that annoyance over the horrors of working in a codebase where exceptions are used for control flow, not checked at all, or just treated as an afterthought. In my experience, those programs tend to be fragile, often crash with little context, or just silently continue after a failure. At least Go forces you to deal with it.
Randolph Air Force Base. You’ll see that the interference is associated with Randolph MOAs (military operating areas) and stops on weekends :) Testing and/or training.
Thanks for this. I was going to post a comment asking how relevant SoM is to the form and structure of modern ML models. From just the title, not having read it, it seemed like SoM might have been prescient. Apparently not so much.
> Google’s chat bots are way ahead of ChatGPT, at least from what we can see from the outside.

And there's the project. If the public (developers and/or end users) can't use it, it might as well not exist.

> ChatGPT is clearly nowhere near being ready for actual product use.

The only thing preventing ChatGPT from being used in production is that it's not exposed through a proper API. It's a demo preview.

There are lots of produts out there using GPT3 right now, and they will all benefit from switching to whatever next iteration (as result of feedback from ChatGPT) is.

> If the NYT really thinks Google is somehow caught unawares here, they clearly have no understanding of what Google’s research program looks like.

Journalists always exaggerate, but research is not production, and in the case of Google the difference is painfully obvious.
> So you can be guilty of “conspiracy to commit X” without ever getting even remotely close to doing X.

Probably most legal systems have something like that.

The interesting thing about US law - at least compared to German law (a Civil law country) - is the fact that even if you succeed with X, you can still be charged with conspiracy to commit X on top.

Musk added the view count. He removes this feature. He sees himself as a power user. But none of these things help Twitter grow.

Twitter isn’t a feature driven company. Engagement and sign ups increased under Musk because of the drama he created. He’s desperate to get Trump back to fuel even more engagement.
I think you've got a bit of a strawman in your head. Look back up at some of my comments you are replying to, namely the top one in this chain. A friend describes this as "violent agreement." I agree that it can be best to have a multipronged approach. That's why I said "It's a good technical book. A great one for it's time and subject matter. But that caveat is important, it needs to be taken in context of the time. It shouldn't be the first, and absolutely not the only, book you read if you are writing modern production C in 2023." I also address its short comings in that post.
I dunno if it was overvolted, all were done by someone else.
And just realized it was eps8266, not esp32. Also timeline-wise it was about 5 years ago.

ad zigbee - I already have some devices and I strictly wanted to have a complete different network for these. wifi is not an option (for me, at this moment). Just looked up their website, they make an esp32-c6 (risc-v core, wifi+bt+zb), and esp32-h2 (the same but has no wifi).
nope, not why. read Pathways. they're working on it, but it doesn't scale to Google's needs yet.
where did the previous poster say "white males"?
Here is all that you need for a small C project, say an executable.

project('hello', 'c')
executable('hello', 'hello.c')

Obviously use what you are comfortable with, but I don't see how this is overly complicated.
Stories about popular topics will have a natural leg-up in becoming viral. However, while a mundane story could become popular it will be hurt by people wondering why they are seeing it, other than simply because its about a popular topic. So it is common for such stories to also bake-in a facade reason for their popularity. No, no, no. You are not seeing this story on your feed simply because its about Apple. You are seeing it because something 'unprecedented' happened at Apple. And surely the more engagement you see on it, the more unprecedented the thing was! This effect has been weaponized in politics and crypto, where you get a huge base of proponents upvoting anything related to their pet topic.
If you are going to charge, notify the person before they spend the effort. I think.

The pay what you want seems cool.

I have a story like but needs images. I think that's the value add.
There was a lot available to buy - 4 previously unannounced books, a bunch of merch, etc. and he is a relatively popular author.
I used to use Reeder/Feedbin but I moved to NetNewsWire/Feedbin when they started updating NNW again. I like NNW a bit better.
When I want a short answer I Google, when I want a dialog with maybe or maybe not good answers I use any AI which destroys the context of the original answer written by human.

Ofcourse it’s a technology with big potential. But I need more as just an good looking answer.
I currently use removable hard drives for backups, but was considering the idea of adding a refurbished LTO tape drive to my XigmaNAS based NAS, however I couldn't find any information about feasibility, compatibility etc.
Does anyone have some pointers, assuming it is doable?
> We still had to pass ARM compliance tests.

You are making it sound like a burden, but I do not understand why it would be. Surely you are interested in safety checks giving you more confidence that you are positioning yourself to take advantage of the Arm ecosystem (instead of releasing something that is not supportable by compilers and OS experts)?.. Or am I misunderstanding the nature of the compliance tests?
Meanwhile, there are the gardens like GitHub that are not walled and indeed plenty of spammers are very actively gardening all that content to spam Google with and yet the masters themselves are incapable of indexing it. Maybe this is just a recent phenomenon but I find myself putting constants and various names from code into Google quoted for exact search and get slammed in the face with a "this literally does not exist you idiot, it has never been uttered" 0 results page.
> It's not just the leak that makes me lose complete faith in Lastpass. It's how they've handled the leak.

Absolutely. I'm switching to 1Password, and though the critics are correct that it isn't a great solution (being practically the same solution), at least they haven't stabbed me in the back or weasel worded me...yet. I was a premium subscriber for the 2FA, for all the good that did me.
I'm a big fan of visual learning/teaching so I created a comic series in which each episode is going to outline an adventure of how this "Ser4less Spy" uses serverless tech to solve problems. Let me know what you think and if you have any feedback!
Blackberry, and cell carriers, loved the extra fees attached to Blackberry Phone planes.

Meanwhile I'd guess w/o looking that Apple makes more money from their app store % cut than Blackberry ever did from however much BBM cost to add on to a cell plan.

Microsoft was too attached their success with the OEM Windows model (OEMs make hardware, pay MS licensing fee for OS) to realize things were changing. Google adjusted MS's winning business model of the 90s and threw in ads, while Apple finally realized obscene levels of success with the business model they'd been using since the 1980s. (Not to say the Apple II wasn't an earlier success of the same business model, but obviously many orders of magnitude less).

Company's are easily blindsided.
If you are the only contributor, targeting one compiler, on one platform, then yep, I could see how this might be overkill.
So is it game theory, or is it "the paradox of voting" (which is not a "paradox" at all)? You're mixing your metaphors.

In Catch-22, Yossarian says, "I don't want to go out there and get shot at," and they say "What if everyone did that?" He says, "Then I'd be a fool not to do it." That's intended to be funny.

Everyone didn't act like Yossarian in WW II for some reason, and some paid with their lives. Voting is voluntary in the US, and yet large numbers of people do vote.

So you need to figure all that out.
Not Plausible. Randolph Air Force base appears to be Northeast of San Antonio.

The -two bubbles- of Medium interference are on Highways to the -West- and -Southeast- of the city.

EDIT: Yea, that Weather Map does show big "MOA"s nearby. I guess it was silly to assume MOAS would be nearer Dallas, Texas, as the MOAS are really further from the capitol city.

Here's the two Interference bubbles near San Antonio

We want to stay free and open to everyone so we will explore private ads (not user dependent, only based on query, not tracking, similar to DDG) and useful monetized apps like youWrite or youImagine (ie stable diffusion).

If there's enough interest, we can also open up a paid account without ads.
I just look at the Wikipedia Current Events page [0]. It's possibly the most straight-to-the-point and least biased way I've found to just know what's going on. If you have any specific interests, there are similar sites. I've found Blue's News [1] to be great for a quick catch up on gaming.
