If you're trying to design stuff for the real world, I think the closest thing you'll get to that is probably Fusion360- same engine as most other Autodesk stuff (I think) but easier to get started with, and your skills and habits can mostly move with you to bigger packages if you need to.

For other stuff like designing miniatures and stuff, I dunno, I don't do very much of that

I'm not one of those "all value in the universe" people, P(doom) for me does not have to be that bad. I would actually consider the inability to manufacture or unwillingness to manufacture certain things at scale in the US to count. Generally, my point is that agentic AI is not something I can really do much about, and other things have a combined P(doom) probability higher than it. The unwillingness in certain groups to use what they consider to be toxic or "forever" chemicals in the manufacture of physical products at scale that can make them world a better and less fragile place is something that could be worked in instead.
Cool project. The main point I guess is this doesn't require user to do any environment setup. All your need to do is just run it in the browser.

One thing I am curious, how's the performance of WebGPU approach compared to the local server approach?
It's like that post on the PC gaming subreddit where someone was unironically asking about what interface was on a pictured hard drive ... it was IDE.
I enjoyed this article and find the service this company offers intriguing. I've watched a bunch of videos and see a lot of value in paying for a very professional interview with actual feedback, something that is immensely difficult to get from "real" tech interviews.

There's one thing that concerns me, it's the line: "We make money in two ways: engineers pay us for mock interviews, and employers pay us for access to the best performers."

I definitely don't want to equate this with the legal but perhaps disreputable "pay-to-play" or "double-dipping" practices of charging both job seekers and the companies trying to hire them. This looks like a good company, and it makes sense to offer a paid service for people who want to practice but aren't looking for a recruiter. Still... I see a potentially uncomfortable situation where someone who wants a job is paying $150/hr or more to take a mock interview for a recruiter who would then market the candidates who are able to pass.

I am not a teacher, but what about actually give them the freedom to use it when the feel like using?

The ones not paying attention will likely not perform well but, wouldn’t a lesson be thought to them when some realize that using the phone in the class leads to poor results.

I had a Fuji 680III and it was stupidly big, AND made from plastic everywhere, so it just didn't work as a camera to cart around, although I'm sure more gentle humans than I could make it happen. Was a bargain, though, came with the AE finder and all the gubbins, felt like trying to manhandle a reluctant cat and eventually I gave up, gave in, made a profit on the sale and never spoke of it again, until now. And then a couple of months ago I went back out with my Graflex and a Lomo back, thinking to myself as I was walking up the steepest slope ever back to my car, did I really cart this much crap out when I was younger? Why?
New towns and cities. Sprawl is last century thinking based on commuter xurbs etc. People should be able to chose to live in new 15 minute towns, historic metropolises or rurally.
Therapy, Ativan, Running, Meditation in roughly that order.

Therapy helped defuse the worst of it quickly and gave me the tools to manage it moving forward. Easily some of the best time and money I've ever spent, though I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found such a compatible therapist.

Ativan was always more of a placebo for me. I never took it more than a few times per week and I haven't taken any in years. But I still carry one in my wallet at all times, and knowing I have that option puts me at ease.

Running for me is a very efficient way of generating that after-workout high that tends to eclipse anxiety, at least temporarily.

Mediation may be the best tool of the bunch, but I've never been able to adhere to a regular schedule. But even on an intermittent basis it can be helpful. I believe the form of mediation I've practiced would be called mindfulness.

Anonymous boards will probably stick around but become near worthless and be superficially filled with colourful low effort posts.

None of us are anonymous to the three letter agencies, isps and web services without layers of extra protection.

The idea that humility is hiding but also that we all must be watched to keep us from screwing up, will continue as normal in the US.

I would suggest that the old rationalist view that privacy is in anonymity would be changed to privacy existing for the unknown citizen, the internet user that is off-the-map or leaves no trace. Popular VPNs already have started this journey by obscuring your country's location.

The real issue is that the vendors don't care.

If they did, they could set it up like AWS where you hit a button to spin up a pre-configured image that is considered yours. They don't want to do it this way because they want your data.

Also whether they need a warrant or not seems to be moot since it seems the judges are more than willing to sign them. We would also have to address the lax views on "probable cause" that seem to be rampant with warrant approval.

I wonder how it works (technically) for things like Amazon's Blink cameras that advertise local storage. They're absolutely trash because the local storage mode is (deceptively) crippled, but as far as I can tell they actually store the video locally.

Is Amazon allowed to reach into your network and take the video they want?

Before that comparison works, you have to eliminate the Constitution and all of the protections that come with it.
It depends on what you want to do in terms of which type of coprocessor is more useful. The PRUs are quite amazing in what they can do, but the development environment is let's say less than ideal. The AM6xx series SOCs do have the PRU subsystem in them along with the Cortex-M4.
This. My security system incudes video, but that video stays with me. It's not being managed by any third party service. If the police want it, they have to ask me for it directly -- they can't go to some company and bypass my protections.

Ask HN: Img2Img AI for people not interested in AI
What's the current user friendly image AI for lay people?

I've used a variety of them over the past 8 months and seen it improve, from cloud services, to command line stable diffusion, to installers on MacOS, to other cloud services using stable diffusion in the background but if someone asked me, I wouldn't know what to tell them, but I do know that there are dozens if not hundreds of projects now.

Someone wants to sketch something (likely by hand on a piece of paper), play around with prompts and get an output from the AI.

What set of services would you tell them?

I'm currently a fan of Midjourney, but teaching this person how to use Discord would not be the move.

I've used DiffusionBee but getting them set up with that would also be difficult, they also only have an Intel Mac and would need something far faster.

It would probably be complicated for this person to even get their sketch into a digital format, or draw it digitally to begin with.

What would you suggest for this kind of person?
my interpretation of the “clone is the way to go” comment is that it’s in the context of the OP saying “I haven't written much Rust…”, which puts a pretty clear frame around the intended applicability of the statement no?

I worked for IBM Research for a decade, from 2011 to 2021. Of that, 8.5 years were in the Yorktown Heights building mentioned in this article. The building is still in good condition, and it really is a great physical location for research.

The building is a long semi-circle, and only three stories. The exterior windows - front and back - are shared hallways. Offices and meeting rooms are in short hallways that connect the front to back. This means that offices and meeting rooms don't have windows, but I never minded that. I got plenty of natural light from the short hallway, and I loved being able to look outside when I walked around the building. And because there's effectively two main hallways per floor, you run into colleagues all the time. The private offices were small but cozy. Three people could comfortably have a conversation in someone's office; once it grew to four, you generally found a meeting room.

I used to do all of my focus work in my cozy private office. Now, I tend to do my focus work at home, and going to the office is for talking to people.

As someone who grew up in the suburbs, I liked that it was in the suburbs. But I think that's a hard sell for a lot of younger folks now. I knew people who lived in NYC and would commute up to the suburbs, but that was usually an arrangement that would last only a year or two. They would either leave the company, or stay and move up the suburbs.
Ethiopia is an interesting example, but not of scarcity. While my country's population grew by a mere 40% since 1950 (and has been stagnant the last few decades), Ethiopia's grew by 534%, and shows no signs of slowing: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ethiopia-popu...

Had we grown at their pace, we'd also be experiencing famines.

As for why they couldn't leave - you can ask their neighbors. The West is not the only destination.

Once we start getting monthly bombings we can call it "even" and then push it father to get to "an utterly dominant majority comes from the right wing" what revisionist history.

Note that as soon as the police inform you they are seeking data you have to ensure you preserve it. That may mean you have to buy additional storage while you fight it. If the police lose the case but can prove that the data expired before they lost they can then get you for deleting the data!
Somebody went as far as contacting the author of a paper based on chatGPT suggestion. Of course the author was pretty sure he never heard of that paper.
While I agree that it's probably likely that humans are the cause I disagree with you outright stating humans are. I can still see some non-human probable causes like an undiscovered disease in or multiple species.
I think it is great we get another OSS B-Rep kernel, even more so in Rust. Who cares how long it takes? I can assure the naysayers it will take forever if you never start.

Some slightly condescending sounding comments here seem to assume that whoever posted this on HN is the author. And/or that there is a single author.

There is a Japanese company behid this[1].

Having worked in Japan my assumption would be there is a team of developers behind this with a single person doing the public facing commits/GH repo stuff.

Stripe increases prices for US businesses starting June first, 2023
From an email from Stripe:

"Hello,

We’re letting you know about Stripe pricing changes for international card transactions, disputes, and sales tax, starting June 1, 2023. We also want to share ways we can help you reduce costs and grow revenue.

International card transactions

"Over the past few years, card networks have increased the total fees that Stripe pays for card processing. Because of these costs, starting June 1, Stripe’s additional fee for international card transactions will change from 1.0% to 1.5%. There’s no change to our standard 2.9% + $0.30 pricing for US card transactions.

[...]

Disputes

Whether you win or lose a dispute, card networks charge Stripe a fee in either case. To cover these costs, starting June 1, Stripe will no longer return the $15 dispute fee for successfully contested disputes. The dispute fee itself is not changing."

Thoughts?
I would hope that with the whole might of the state behind them the cops don't need to rely on being as violent and stupid as their street gang opponents.
They can rely on superior armaments, better funding and numeric advantage.

> that, like, the median Rust crate should probably be written in the "clone liberally" register.

That is not what I understand myself to have said. The parent said that they "do not write much Rust code." That is very different than "the median Rust crate."

> Should most code be written with liberal clones,

I think this question is a category error. There is not enough context to give an opinion. And I think that means you cannot make a broad generalization about clone; some code should have a bunch of clones, and some code should not, even if they're the same code, because they operate in different kinds of contexts or sure, registers, to sort of stick to the vibes of the original post.

If I am presented the exact same code by two people, and one of them started writing Rust yesterday, and says "what do you think of my code?" I would not even give consideration to the number of clones when attempting to give them my opinion about their code. If someone came to me after writing Rust for ten years and said "hey I am struggling to improve performance in this code" and said "what do you think of my code?" and I saw a bunch of clones, I would say "have you profiled? I would suspect that maybe clones are causing your problem but I wouldn't do anything until I had a flame graph or equivalent." Even then that is not a moral question or answer, it is an engineering one.

> or should most beginner code be written with liberal clones?

Even this isn't exactly what I meant, but is closer. I mean what I said in my parent comment to you, beginners should not feel bad if their code uses clone, whatsoever. That does not then imply that non-beginners should feel bad, I said absolutely nothing in this thread about anything other than beginner code (until the paragraph above in this comment and the paragraph in the comment you're currently replying to).

>Hiding filesystems is security via obscurity more than anything else, and probably won't hold up if someone has root.

That statement indicates you do not fully understand pledge(2) and unveil(2).

For example, if you are running Firefox using the default settings as root on OpenBSD. Firefox will not be able to see anything outside of the directories allowed by unveil(2). So an errant JS will not be able to peruse "veiled" Directories. For instance, Firefox cannot see any data in ~/.ssh no matter what ID you are using.

So I mainly do Kernel or super low level systems code. And i've never had an issue targeting the latest C++ standard. Given I don't use the C++ STL and only use the language features. The backwards compatability is amazing and i've never had a single issue in my career with swapping forward. So good on them. I also do Windows work though, so maybe it's different on Linux.
Building a robust code completion engine using ANTLR
To someone who's accepted that gangs and violent people in them are a normal part of life, sure, that makes sense.

But what's the internal monologue of someone who styles themselves a deputy and an Executioner really like?

Do they genuinely believe themselves to be doing smart or good things? Do they hate themselves, do they hate the flawed world they're in? Is this an unfortunate but temporary state of affairs, ends justifying the means until they can fully replace the flawed system? Are they stuck in their position, wishing they had said no when/if they had the chance, but now unsure how to safely exit?

Could you or I, with a few different life choices, have been not a software dev but a law enforcement deputy who's also a member of a violent, antisocial gang? I'd like to think I could not, but I have no clue what actually goes on inside the mind of someone in that situation.
Yes, you get taxes from a residential area. But if you get MORE from a business area, guess which one cities are going to be incentivized to attract?

About the road, a standard parking space is 180 square feet. At $100 per square foot for the land that's $18,000.

Now compare to the car. Per https://hedgescompany.com/blog/2022/02/how-old-are-cars/ the median car is about 12 years old. If you want to buy a 2011 car right now, https://www.truecar.com/used-cars-for-sale/listings/year-201... shows you a whole lot of options. All are substantially less than that.

The median car really does cost less than the space where it is parked. For more on this, see https://streetwidths.its.ucla.edu/

I enjoy monochrome infrared photography at wavelengths longer than 1000 nm using a Sigma sd Quattro (no Bayer filter and the sensor IR filter is reversibly user-removable). To reduce exposure times as much as possible, I've been testing an AR-coated near infrared achromatic doublet (AC254-050-B-ML) with a 3D-printed housing to attach it to the camera mount with a manual focusing barrel. The next step is to design a fast double gauss lens that can similarly be assembled from readily available NIR-coated stock lens elements.
Ah thanks, that does indeed line up the numbers I had misunderstood.

AI essentially raises the publishing wall for "noise". Print books used to be like this until the advent of single-unit/low-volume publishing. We're essentially returning to a time when the walled garden of content creators will be the most valuable game.

I recently had my place broken into and was the first thing I did was to hand the cops a memory stick with the relevant footage from my cameras on it.

My system isn't managed by any companies, so nobody can be all sneaky about getting footage. But I could still provide that footage to the cops when needed. It's the best of both worlds.

I should note that I have no cameras that can see any public space. They only record my private areas. I have too much respect for my neighbors to invade their privacy.
