It’s etymologically from the notion of tapping a keg or barrel… you literally had to tap (hammer) a tap (cone-shaped cork, bung, or — eventually, but much later - a plumbed faucet or tap) into a vessel to access the contents.

Technically the video tap is the beam splitter and associated mounting affordances and hardware that redirects light bouncing off the mirror shutter to both the operator’s viewfinder and to the video assist camera; you could mount a 100% tap, replacing the viewfinder entirely, or various degrees of partial beam splitter.

In either case the tap allowed you to capture video footage of what the camera operator was seeing… which, confusingly, was exactly what did NOT actually end up in the final film, since both the viewfinder and assist can only receive light when the shutter is closed and the film is moving to the next frame.

Better without goals than with goals that threaten the people.

Well, don't license the code you write with AGPL, then, or don't use code licensed by AGPL. Clearly there are people who don't share the same viewpoint with you, and use AGPL license.

Like Nextcloud, for example.
My humble prediction:

The catastrophe will come primarily in the form of inequity.

There will be some who understand and take advantage, and naturally some of those will leverage that power over others.

The best version: we help knowledge workers understand how to use AI to make them more productive and useful.

The likely picture: we save on margin costs, then the next wave of knowledge workers have AI-collaboration as a core / native competency.

The left behind will be overshadowed by the success of the next wave, and we’ll call it a success as a society.
So you found out how DMCA works and how much it sucks the hard way, eh?

You’re right it shouldn’t be the business of a domain registrar. But every provider in the chain that the copyright holders can reach to will end up responsible. You, the registrar, web host, ISP, everything.

Send your complaints to the US government and the copyright lobby. It’s a bullshit law. Namecheap complies with it because if they don’t, THEY get cut off by their own providers, and so on up the chain until the fines roll in.

Musk's Neuralink people appear to have done a bad thing, but do think their research and technology is important.

> However, this time around you get HDR and HFR (in addition to the 4K and 3D you got in 2012) so thats nice. On the downside, when I went to see it, the HFR scenes were very limited and oddly chosen seconds here and there so i'm not sure if it adds anything. Frankly I feel the same about the 3D. While this film is a pretty good implementation of the technology, was anyone really asking to add 3D to this movie?

Slightly confused by what this release is - is it a remake or a remaster, or have they reshot some bits of it? The original was shot on regular 35mm at the regular frame rate, so is all this .. interpolated?

(also mildly horrified at describing films that came out in my lifetime as "old", but I guess I'm just miscalibrated there. I've not actually seen Titanic myself purely because of how long it is!)

Edit: the aspect ratio seems to be a source of contention. It appears to have been filmed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_35, which has a "raw" 4:3 ratio of the full frame of the film but is intended to be cropped (matted) to wider ratios. Individual cuts could then be derived from that, which does imply that the squarer ratio releases have parts of the scene that are not visible in wider ones.
I talked about this with my now wife when we started dating. We need to be open and honest with each other, and if there are issues we need to talk about them ASAP instead of thinking "it will somehow be fine".

Once you can safely establish that, it's not really hard work. Just need to be able to feel comfortable enough with the person to say your real honest thoughts and feelings.

I understand that for some people that is really hard to express what they are thinking and feeling, to anyone, even themselves, but if you work on that, then the rest becomes easier.

It was hard for me, this last part, and I had to find some good books and resources to help me understand myself first. The books that helped the most were Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle, and Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do by John A. Bargh.

Aristotle allows you to see that there is a way to find the middle in any kind of context, and that there is no really "best" in anything, or "the right way" in anything, and it really depends on the person. This allowed me to see better in others' perspectives and empathise better, and not feel too bad when there are conflicting opinions, since none of us are the same.

"Before you know it" allowed me to see how we think, subconsciously and consciously, and how some things are in our control and some aren't.

I hope this helps.

Look, I'm from a university you surely don't know. Not in the US, and not even top 500 in the world by most rankings.

Lately I had two PhD students: one graduated with 4 papers in undisputably top-tier conferences (plus 2 in close-to-top-tier ones). The other, only with 1.

But you know what? The second student was better than the first (IMO, of course). The first got lucky hitting a research topic that proved to work very well and produced many results with relatively little effort once the basic framework was in place. The second explored more diverse research topics, and did exceptionally deep, high-quality research, but got bitten by reviewers (partly because the research had less "flashy" goals, was more niche and harder to understand, partly because of the massive random factors inherent to reviewing).

Both found jobs where they are satisfied AFAIK. The second student may not have had the best publication record, but from what I know (from being asked to give references, etc.) they found places where they went beyond mere counting and appreciated the quality of their research when making hiring decisions.

Neither university prestige, nor number of papers, are as important (or indicative of real skill) as you think (although of course they help). The world is much more complex than that.
It will have goals, but only the goals of those who wield it, which much like any other weapon makes all the difference.

The point of the project/section is - in a very quick summary - to come at an issue presenting to an audience that cares about it and is looking for answers or ways to improve their lives.

This is a piece of journalism - a good jumping off point. My point is that I come to HN for comments and discussions on topics and issues like AI, hoping to hear from real experts on things on the big technology issues, etc.

I wish there was more of that - playing the ball - and less playing the writer.
A better picture is an AI without guardrails that would be generated by ethical goals.

An AI without goals is functionally equal to an AI with nefarious or unethical goals - boundless action trained on human language / behavior will likely skew bad.

> Long term (18 months) this zapped my energy and I lost a lot of muscle. Yes, weight loss was phenomenal, but I gained all of that back in the phase of exhaustion that followed.

Muscle loss is an adaptation to loss of load on the muscle. Internet trope of "you lose muscle when you lose fat" is just that - a trope. If you were 100lb heavier, your muscles were loaded with extra 100lb. Should you lose the 100lbs, if you do not engage in the appropriate resistance exercises to provide equivalent of additional 100lb load, your muscle mass will decrease

> It also requires code to explicitly set errno many, many times.

Yes, errno should be cleared every time you want to check it. Although you can check it multiple times with a single clear, as long as a set errno leads to an exit.

A more likely cause if the issue you outline is that errno is not context-local tho, so if you call something which causes errno to be set you might get an errno from an unexpected error. This is similar to overly broad exception contexts, but much harder to diagnose.

To be accurate the video tap is the hardware assembly that allows video signal to be recorded at the same time as the film is being exposed — or very nearly the same time, since the film can’t be exposed while the video camera is receiving light — and video assist is the production technique of using that tapped video to aid production work (VFX, editorial, cinematography, playback, continuity, etc) while the exposed film awaits processing and scanning.

In other words you needed a video tap to allow for video assist.

It's a ridiculous concept. As a gay man I prefer bio male partners because not only do I like everything that comes with being a man (ie male behaviour) which a trans guy often has (but not always), but I love penis; and I love the flexibility that often comes with a male partner in that regard. Pretty simple.

If that's transphobic then surely as a gay man I'm a misogynist for not wanting female partners as well.

Luckily someone already did research into this (the other commenter linked it) and it’s likely she’d only be able to kick half of men’s asses at best.

Which would still be pretty impressive and unlikely.

This whole “actually there’s a big overlap” misconception is easily defeatable by noting that no women play in the NBA, NHL, MLB, or MLS. If there is a big overlap in physical capability, why haven’t women started going for the millions of dollars available in these open leagues? Are they too lazy, or too stupid?

The schema restrictions you can express in SQL are both insufficient and not flexible enough even for relatively trivial things, except you are either fine with storing and retrieving things in a completely different shape than you actually need, or if you are fine with constantly migrating your schema.

That's not a sufficient argument against adopting SQL for something, but other solutions are certainly _not_ just SQL with extra steps. Not everything maps nicely onto flat tables with predefined slots.
That seems like a bad idea. Just waiting for the escape and autobrewery syndrome
Some years ago, I read a scientific article that compared the number of murders per capita in the stone age to nowadays. The authors came to the same conclusion: stone ages where way more violent than the present.

But I then calculated/estimated based on the numbers in the article and the assumption of hunter-gatherer groups of 50-100 people, that experiencing a murder in your group in that time was a once-in-the-lifetime chance.

I am in my mid-fifties, lived most of my life in a not so poor region in Germany, in a small village, and I know (knew) at least 2 person who got murdered, and a good handful who commited suicide.
And I know personally at least 3 person who committed murder.

My mother was child in WWII, my father even faught in a 'hot-spot' as an 18 year old, I have heard really many first-hand stories about killing.

Furthermore, television is pretending a ridiculous violent world, and I think this does have a really negative influence on peoples mind.

Are raw numbers to be valued more than the well-feeling of the people?

If a fairy would ask me to choose when to live, I would not hesitate a split-second and choose the pre-neolithic.

You're right; there are a lot of places where gay men transition purely because they could be killed for being gay, but transitioning is an easy out to be with the man that they love without dying for it (because heterosexual relations are legal and transitioning is legal, but being gay is not).
Remember, the invention of the movable type printing press was a catastrophe depending on the perspective. It brought down the existing European social and religious order which led, for example, to the Thirty Years War in which millions of people died. More recently, the ability to rapidly print books also led to the rise of Hitler and World War II.

AI may lead to catastrophe, but I bet it will be a lot less catastrophic than the printing press.

There are still many other things in certificated aircraft that are changing regularly based on ADs. This means “we found something in this decades old design that shows up when the fleet is in its 30s.”

Aircraft have VERY long lifetimes in comparison to most things. I own a 1962 Cessna - it is on its second engine, the first having been overhauled once. Some Cessnas from the 70s are still running on their originally installed engine.

Defects and issues are still addressed ongoing, and maintaining the certification for things like modifications for improved power generation still means significant work. It’s definitely not a one-and-done thing - part of the value of certification is in the continuous future improvement that comes from NTSB findings or inspection reports sent to the FAA.

It’s like an engine fault light spread across the whole fleet. The certification keeps the light working.
There is no reason to start with the FAQ. The FAQ is irrelevant. The FAQ is not part of the GPL and has no legal force whatsoever.

What part of the GPL brings swapping dynamically linked libraries within the definition of "modify"?

Because on first read, not only is such an activity not explicitly included, it is explicitly excluded — since you do not need copyright permission for program X to swap out library Y that it relies upon, see 17 U.S.C. § 117(a)(1) (excluding copies made in memory at runtime from the need for copyright permission), it can never be a modification to do so.

For those interested in installing heatpumps I can describe my experience in running a rather big one that provide sanitary hot water for 6 holiday apartment we own and one for AC/heating for each of said apartments.

In summary, switching to heatpumps was a win. In fact, the sum of monthly bills went down by around 30% compared to having electricity and gas. In addtion, they don't require the yearly safety check-ups and smoke tests that gas boilers of that size did. The downside is that you have to do small maintenance more often since there are more moving parts that fail.

We have been running them since 2017, so I only have data for 6 years (5 if you don't count 2020 which for tourism was a bloodbath). The maintenance frequency is not going up, but the costs went a bit up in 2022 due to more expensive parts. If things stay this way we would break even in an additional 2/3 years, granted that we had to do quite a big renovation and so my cost figures of when we did the works are not perfectly attributed. The company that installed the units says they have a lifetime of 15/20 years, and so well worth them as by them we would have saved enough to update the heatpumps with money to spare.

Because police and judge positions require specialized skill sets and training, and both have access to the force of government, which would seem to merit a higher minimum bar of professionalism.
