Oh, I love it -- a disaster caused by "disaster recovery configuration" :-)
Since you do not live in America, I suppose you do not know how small 400 acres is. It's only 1.6 square kilometers.

Or maybe you live in a very small and dense country. Ohio is not a large state, but it is larger than many countries and perhaps larger than yours. Otherwise I cannot fathom your perspective. Whining about 400 acres of development in America is simply absurd.
You might as well make a scan of your actual signature and make the generator overlay the image instead.
Getting into amateur radio had had me do this re-think. The Icom IC-7300 has apparently been the best-selling HF transceiver for several years now (think Toyota Corolla for relative cost and performance), but even so, numbers in the low tens of thousands of units sold since it was introduced. They're 1200-1300 EUR new, and 800-900 EUR several years used. the other models are even more niche.

It is so common for amateur radio enthusiasts to re-sell (and re-re-sell) gear that swap meets are still a central activity of their meetings and conventions.
Because the regulations don't allow it. Laws and regs are very blunt and don't take into account every possible case, like 500g into stratosphere.
We engineers tend to overlook simple things like these in our grand vision of the world. Yours truly is also at times guilty of getting blinded by these blinders.

This reminds me of a joke that was floating around the internet few years ago. It goes something like this: The US and the USSR were in a space race and trying to put a person in space. To give the trainee astronauts a feeling of working without gravity the trainees were trained under water. But the US faced a challenge. There was no pen that would work under water for the trainees to use. The US spent millions of dollars on R&D and finally produced a pen that would work under water. It was a very proud moment for the engineers who developed the technology. After a few months, there was a world conference of space scientists and engineers where teams from both the US and the USSR were also present. So to get a sense of how the USSR team solved the challenge of helping trainees to take notes under water, the US team mention about their own invention and asked the USSR team how they solved the problem. The USSR team replied, We use pencils :)
> Neighbouring countries of Germany are pushing for Germany to stop polluting the atmosphere with coal.

Which is ridiculous on its own, Poland has been ordered for years to shut down the Turow open-pit mine on the border to Germany and Czechia, they refused and were sentenced to 500.000€ per day of continued operation [1], got 15 million € in EU disbursements held back [2]... the size of that thing is insane [3].

You've just described 100 years of car evolution.

Similar to software architecture, you do start by defining the preferred characteristics and then working your way to the other parts.

The issue with Mastodon is that your network ID is tied to the domain of the server you are connecting to. If you get kicked off of that server you can move to another one, but you effectively have to create a new account. You loose all your followers, etc.

Nostr fixes those problems. You can never lose your ID because it’s derived from your public key. You can be blocked from a relay, but it doesn’t matter because you can just switch to another one, and you are always connecting to multiple at the same time anyway. Following is managed on the client side, so it cannot be manipulated or disrupted.
I would totally want that! Specifically, `a+b = a + b` where `a + b` is an expensive operation. Julia allows stuff like that to some extent, e.g. https://github.com/JuliaQuantumControl/Krotov.jl/blob/3132f0..., but unfortunately not with `+`

Ask HN: All wireless headphones / earbuds have problems picking up my voice
Hi there, this has been an ongoing problem for me since I started wearing wireless headphones / earbuds.

So far, I've owned

- Bose Quiet Comfort

- Apple AirPods Pro

- Apple Airpods Pro Max (Current)

And for some reason, it seems other people with the same products come through in noisy environments, but I don't.

I'm at the point where I cannot answer calls using these devices. Working remotely, this has a huge impact on me. I can only take meetings in complete silence with my headphones.

If I am on the go and someone calls me, I have to use the Phone.

It is so extremely frustrating because I bought the AirPods Pro Max to get rid of this problem, assuming Apple would have created the best of the best but at this point, I am starting to think that my voice is incompatible with whatever noice-cancelling/isolating algorithm that is built into these devices.
Japan is a normal place. Americans are arriving are surprised because it's America that isn't a normal place.
> By all means bow down before what they did at the time, but please do not treat macOS or the Apple HIG as "the be-all and end-all of UI/UX for all time". Because it is not.

Of course. Menu bars are still much better than catch-all hamburger menus. So it is still annoying that a project that supposedly took inspiration from older Mac OS regresses in that respect.
Certainly is a possible outcome although there are a few problems with the current paper as I see it:

* Quite slow to execute (somewhat inherit to diffusion models)

* Requires a lot of human data which increases dev time, since it needs to be done near the end of gamedev to get a consistent enviroment

* The current paper doesn't consider previous observations (I can't find the reference so I could be wrong)

I believe issue 1 & 3 can be overcome quite easily with changes in model architecture, and 2 can probably be overcome with RLHF to pretrain on self-play and fine-tune on human input.
>parents tend to help out with the down payment. The more you get from your parents, the closer to the city center you can live.

Oh, so the "secret" to Swedish housing affordability is 'have rich parents'. Silly me, why didn't I know that sooner, I would have shopped around for richer parents. /s

>I wonder what kind of social effects it will have

The short term effect will be a much bigger class divide between those with rich parents and those without, basically a ghettoization of cities (which is already a thing in most EU cities), while long term maybe more social unrest, crime, political extremism, etc.
We're definitely like 5 years from being able to have really realistic NPCs in games. But then probably another 10 until they're actually widespread (RL AI have been able to be incorperated into games for years now but these things are surprisingly slow to be adapted).

To simplify what others have said, it's only possible to reorder two events A and B in Special Relativity if A can't possibly have caused B and vice-versa. Otherwise, SR maintains ordering. Look up timelike versus spacelike separation.
> Whore, drink and murder all night for all i care, if the individual can prevent ecologic collapse and economic collapse during the day, thats still a good deal, even if i would be among the murder victims.

This is too simplistic due to second order effects. E.g. visibly doing those things makes it far more likely other people in slightly lower positions of power will try it on, many crossing the boundaries of what they can get away with. Then the corruption starts along those fuzzy boundaries until it infects everything else.
Can call it historical fiction now.
No, I am saying without the invention of cars there are no ambulances or trips to the hospital in the.

We call such things towns.
Do we? What is this based on?
> If we start sending up sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere and it fixes the problem. What do you think we’re going to do? Stop caring about global warming entirely, and pump way more green house gases… why wouldn’t we? We can just fix it with more sulfur dioxide.

This is precisely why there are such immense amounts spent on geoengineering research - the big polluters do everything they can to keep making money out of fucking over the planet.

The solution to climate change is not waiting for some kind of "tech miracle" (be it carbon capture, sulfur dioxide, H2 electrolysis, nuclear fusion, ...), it is to get rid of fossil fuel usage.

They are not successfully communicating with others, as the majority of people expect Open Source software to grant you some rights that the software in question doesn't, which is why it's misleading, or in other words, wrong.

You can use your words in whatever way you want with whatever people you want, but can't deliberately ignore the widely-adopted definitions because "language changes" and claim everyone else is wrong and your microcosmos is right. Wake me up when language actually changes (i.e. when the majority adopts the new definition) and then we'll talk.

Exploring the Duality Between Product and Organizational Architectures [pdf]
Came here to say this. Good friend at Reddit shared the details. Many teams grew really fast; his did 4x in 2 years. As such, there is tension between the macro economics and teams asking for headcount. The solution is to clean up current talent (move or release), backfill released roles, and continue to grow; just lesser growth rate compared to previous 2 years.
But your server was distributing the illegal thing. It doesn’t matter, that it might not be there anymore, here in Germany there is a decent chance of getting a police visit and possibly getting your hardware impounded.

This is also the case for tor exit nodes, which is why those here are all hosted by organizations with lawyers.

As you distribute the content here, unlike with tor, you would essentially act as a user generated content provider and would have to take steps to prevent the abuse from occurring again… probably after an involved court case.

This is not like "every server" because not every server distributes what anyone publishes to it.

Though a lot of that might not be an issue in jurisdictions with saner laws, I don’t know specifics.
Hi there! I appreciate the concern - But note that Permit elements allow you to delegate access control to any one of your team members, end users, or customers - as it uses a simple no-code UI to do that, It could allow your security team easier access to overview the entire process, and thanks to Permit.io building on policy as code you always have full control of the generated flow via Git.
I cycle back and forth between “what would the magnum opus in this space?” and “how little can I get away with here?”

After doing some fantasizing about the former, it helps me to switch frames and build the fastest, shittiest version of it. I have a TODO.txt file with what might come later, but I also have something working that I can learn from and/or get utility from. (For me, the alternative is constant anxiety about “what else could I brainstorm here?” (which is fun) and little in the “what did I accomplish?” (which is rewarding in a different way, but isn’t strictly as ‘fun’).

I'm not sold on the risk from quantum computers, but we need to be clear:

RSA's demise is not due quantum computers. RSA is at this point fairly well understood to be worse than ECC in more or less every sense other than "can I explain this to a 12 year old". Nothing new should use RSA, anything old should be migrated to ecc.
nimpretty (like gofmt & etc.) was actually mentioned (buried within that large discussion) as a way for Nim to go full sensitivity but avoid the debates. :-)
Blindsight is an incredible read.
Ah yes. Iv'e long strongly, strongly suspected either it has to do with cold weather, or that it's dependent on inversion which is most likely during cold weather.

I've heard trains that are usually only heard a coupld of hundred meters suddenly being audible from several kilometers away during cold winter mornings. Same with aircraft taking off from the local airport.
> Presumably those thousands of clinics etc in the search results "posit that palm reading is legitimate medicine"

Not really, they're more astrology based, not medicine, and no one is claiming astrology is factual in this thread. Also, they're clinics, not a source of any kind which is what was asked for.
Which means that the techniques and treatments they would have discovered (and indeed, did discover back in the more wild days) aren't discovered and the amount of new treatment research each euro gets goes waaaay down.

> signed by you

Signed by a private key which has no connection to my legal identity, and which can be generated in a split second. Signatures give strong pseudonymity.

> Relays don’t have to store any message on disk

This is a good idea, as long as messages are relatively few, which may be hundreds of thousands if they are short. There's no promise of availability, so an infrequent reboot is free to erase them.

> Then you are going to convince a judge that the thing on my disk belongs to me

I'm afraid it can be the other way around, if the material is sensitive enough. You'd have to explain to the judge how it ended up on your computer.

> every server in the world has this vulnerability

No, only a server that allows users to upload UGC without requiring enough background information to let the law enforcement find out their real identities if need be. Should be an adequate explanation to the judge in a civilized country where governmental censorship is not a thing.

Hardware Is Fun Again
And what about the ongoing emissions of all the sourcing, mining, transporting of the raw materials, and fabricating parts, assembling these, and transporting them in turn?

Hard problem to solve in the current system, but nonetheless it exists. Where are the truly innovative 'Industry 4.0' factories producing individualised spare parts on demand by means of 3D-printing, or whatever, to only exchange degraded components of truly modular appliances? Or cars?
I think there's something I'm missing - what's the io/aviation connection? I thought dot-io was "British Indian Ocean Territory" and was co-opted by tech startups looking for a domain that wasn't squatted in the usual .com/net/org TLDs
Sorry but you are just changing angles and discussing semantics.

Let me do the same for the quasi "open source" licenses:

Elastic license doesn't impose restrictions. It provides guarantees (that modified versions will not take business from you).

The only way you guarantee something, is by restricting something else. AGPL restricts distribution.
Interestingly, transformation happened in the absence of Amazon.
For example, Allegro in Poland offered much wider choice than Amazon.
Basically competitor for eBay but with transportation included (thanks to InPost!)

The main difference is that the brand is more visible on Allegro.

My experience is that if you become proficient enough in Tableau or PowerBI, you simply become the go-to guy for those reports. Suddenly senior management starts bombing you with requests for various reports.

But in the end, all roads lead to Excel. No mater what tools you use, someone higher up will still request "But could I get this in Excel?"
It's still pretty challenging for a parent to say "you have a child for 3 years at home", from the career perspective.

If both parents are working, they will definitely need a caretaker in some form, and the best would still be that they worked less time and actually spent more with them (incredibly helpful to know the child well)
So... what was wrong? Why should those people not have been allowed to make and lose money?

Autoincrement and autodecrement didn't come from the PDP-11

https://web.archive.org/web/19980220175804/http://cm.bell-la...

> People often guess that they were created to use the auto-increment and auto-decrement address modes provided by the DEC PDP-11 on which C and Unix first became popular. This is historically impossible, since there was no PDP-11 when B was developed. The PDP-7, however, did have a few `auto-increment' memory cells, with the property that an indirect memory reference through them incremented the cell. This feature probably suggested such operators to Thompson; the generalization to make them both prefix and postfix was his own. Indeed, the auto-increment cells were not used directly in implementation of the operators, and a stronger motivation for the innovation was probably his observation that the translation of ++x was smaller than that of x=x+1.

--- Dennis Ritchie
That's why I said most. Obviously there exist languages, such as elm, where this is not the case, but in the case of those languages, the teaching literature (as is the case with elm) explains these things. Most languages don't do this precisely because their designers made the judgement call that the additional parsing complexity (both for the actual parser and the human) outweighed the benefits of allowing you to have minuses in identifiers.
I wish Python enforced private attributes. I once worked in a codebase where this was roughly true:

Distinguishing an Interpreter from a Compiler
I'm a fan of that idea; I would love to see other common operators (such as vertical pipe) reclaimed for expressing operations way more common in the past decade than bit twiddling (e.g. iterator/filter chaining, like in shell pipelines).
Why not just give it some temporary name, like ‘t’, supposedly it is only used in a very tight scope. Haskell and similar languages often do these things with `let in ..` or `.. with t=a+b`.
Firstly, the Oxford English Dictionary uses a different definition, as does Wikipedia. It’s far from clear why we would prefer OSD, and by these other definitions you’re the one using the word incorrectly.

Secondly, good luck convincing everyone they “need to think about how they use words”
