We use "smart" cameras from Keyence and Cognex but the really interesting work tends to still be in PC-based, hand-coded vision systems. Usually hand-crafted C++ or C# code but increasingly using neural networks for some, usually non-quantitative (e.g. locating but not measuring), solutions.
Facebook Messenger has had (opt in) E2EE since 2017 I believe.

The side you are on has already won. Sequence data are universally accepted in systematics as the ultimate arbiters of evolutionary relationships, just delve into the modern classification of any extant group. One example of where molecular evidence overturned physical evidence long thought to be unambiguous, leading to a complete and essentially uncontested taxonomic overhaul: coprinoid mushrooms. Morphological characters are still used in paleontology for obvious reasons, but again within a higher-level framework provided by molecular phylogenetics.

The major difference between the airplane flying example and the computer language reproduction model example is that we actually understand how aerodynamics and flight work, so we understand very well how an airplane flies (it doesn't just "replicate" flight).

We don't understand how the human brain works so that our minds can acquire language.
I am British, but I wasn't born and raised in the UK. I am always amazed at how low UK born Brits's opinion of the UK is. It's always this defeatist attitude. Life in the UK is not without it's problems, that is for sure. But it's still an order of magnitude better than many other places and a lot of what is taken for granted here is not even dreamed of elsewhere. I guess appreciation requires perspective...
Is it fake news? A poorly designed study whose intention (at least how I perceive it) is to push a specific narrative seems a little disingenuous.
GM offers U.S. employees voluntary separation program
Perhaps in tandem, incorporate everyone/turn everyone into LLCs. Corporations seemed to have more rights than people even before corporations were "people". Might as well level the playing field there too.
There are plenty of politicians who would like to take action to address the issue of Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The problem is, there's an equally influential group of politicians who prefer to use it for political purposes instead: "See? This proves how inefficient the government is at providing healthcare! Let's cut their funding and let corporations take over instead!"
My experience in snow differs from yours. If that makes me an excellent driver in your eyes then I appreciate the complement.

I've slept in a minivan many times and it's wonderful for 2. 3 or more, not so much.
I think they probably misremembered the stat that young, single women are making more than young, single men in some metro areas.

Limiting it to single people shrinks the gap because single women make more than married women while single men make less than married men. Cherry-picking specific metro areas also helps.
> But I believe Second will feel very close to having a dedicated developer that can build commodity features for you.

A “developer” or a “grunt coder”? Or, to use the ~40+ year old terms that even the least trendy places have phased out [0], a programmer/analyst or just a programmer?

[0] Largely because one of the two didn’t really fit into modern development methodologies anymore, since it presumed too narrow of a skillset and responsibility area.
> This is fantastic, classical music absolutely needs a dedicated interface since the organization by composer and multi-movement works is so different from popular music.

It really doesn't. It was easy enough to organize music by the correct metadata in a local collection on Amarok 15 years ago. ID3 already supports all of the requisite metadata. You just need an app that is flexible and supports a 'now playing queue' by default and offers multiple views into your collection instead of the watered down garbage you get with streaming music apps today.

The only reason you'd think this is because most streaming apps today have a UI that is an even worse iteration of a very old version of iTunes, where you have to manually create a playlist in a cumbersome fashion in order to have any real control over what you're playing.

Show HN: Swishjam (YC W23) - simple open source front end performance monitoring
Hey all - Collin here, co-founder of Swishjam (https://www.swishjam.com). Today we're excited to launch our simple, open-source (https://www.github.com/swishjam/swishjam) frontend performance monitoring solution to the world. Swishjam collects all of the performance related metrics from each of your real users' experiences as they visit your site (such as Core Web Vital metrics, resource load times, and more), and then makes sense of it for you by giving you intuitive visualizations and actionable insights on where performance bottlenecks exist on your site.

The web today is littered with massive javascript files, unoptimized images, and poor resource loading strategies, resulting in slow web sites and poor experiences for end users. We initially set out to solve for the third party javascript that is slowing down sites, however after talking with many users it became clear that there was a larger need helping users improve the overall performance of their entire frontend. While these users agree performance is of utmost importance to their web experience, most simply don’t know where to start to tackle the issue. The existing tools on the market today are complicated, and don’t provide actionable insights as next steps. Swishjam’s goal is to simplify performance and ultimately automatically apply performance improvements to your site on your behalf such as auto-image compression, CDN hosting, and strategically loading your page resources.

While there are other options that exist to collect performance metrics (ie: CrUX data - https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux/), we want to provide a dead simple, open-source way of collecting and visualizing your performance metrics, and give you actual actionable next steps to improve performance rather than leave it up to you to figure it out.

This is an early alpha version, we plan to continue to roll out new monitoring and optimization tools in the coming weeks. If you're interested in web performance and optimizing page speed we'd love to chat.
The Satisfaction of Viral Quitting
This is just shenanigans to get our phone numbers. As if forcing keys over password was not bad enough.

I wonder if I will be able to connect and pull from a private repository without 2FA. Otherwise my personal web server setup breaks.
This is a step in the right direction. Although if i’m not mistaken the case for somebody stealing your .ssh directory with keys and contributing to GitHub over SSH still stands.

I guess it’d be hard to require everybody to password protect their ssh keys.
Consolidation of a vibrant industry to just a handful of major corporations is a real loss, in my opinion. It's depressing in part because it makes avoiding those corporations much more difficult or impossible, because it makes the industry less vibrant and responsive, and because it locks a lot of talented people out.

It's also more than a little dystopian as the corporate stranglehold over all of us tightens just a bit more.

You are making the exact same mistake even though this person explained it to you.

This isn't about what a pixel in a display looks like, it is about what a pixel in an image buffer represents and how to render it without aliasing.

To anti-alias a pixel you have to realize that it is the weighted average of multiple samples over an area.

It would be very interesting to see this given to (young) students with a few "hello world" examples for various types of basic sites where they have zero or very little coding expertise and get them from zero to having a live site for a simple project - and push them further down the path.

Almost every one does, if you look at a number of the implementations that are used for Techempower they're very very carefully created to provide optimal behaviour under the benchmarking. They work in ways that you wouldn't normally write stuff.

It makes for a really interesting value proposition for the benchmark.
A quick off topic question related to 2FA. If an employee is required to complete the 2FA to access to the company's system, is the company responsible to provide the employee a necessary device (either phone or hardware token) to complete the 2FA?
I once asked Android Auto to play "act 2 from carmen" and it responded with an absolutely bizarre rendition of the Toreador Song that had been programmed into a MIDI in the voice of birds chirping. Just crazy. Sometimes I think the algorithm they use at YouTube Music optimizes for paying the least royalties.
I think you have an interesting point. How many of us actually understand how most of our current advancements work? If society as we know it ended now, would I be able to recreate even the basic niceties ( fire, electricity, clean water, stable food supply, ice cars, circuits and so on )?

We use all those amazing tools while knowing only a fraction on how they actually work ( or what to do when they break ). Do we merely mimic or do we understand? GPT brought us to an interesting philosophical ledge.

edit: somewhat related tangent

My extended family member recently claimed she is a conscious consumer unaffected by advertising and therefore not concerned about targeted ads. Is she conscious if she picks what everyone around her picks as a way to fit into society or does she understand her choice, underlying forces and simply opts into them?

My father-in-laws doctors are kinda like this. He’s definitely had real damage in younger years but I think a lot of recent pain is because of a lack of any physical exertion, he’s allergic to stairs and takes the shortest path anywhere.

Spot on about the PT, it was probably the most regular physical exertion he’s done since the last surgery.

My docs are always like you need PT, stretches, and more movement for your upper back/shoulders/heel etc. Also stop doing these X things that bother it. In no way were they going to give me surgery or even pain killers.

No. It's a common way of communicating, as are email and SMS. Telegram and Signal are less common. There is however a peculiar bubble effect whereby WhatsApp users tend to think that because all their friends use WhatsApp to communicate with them, it is more dominant than is actually the case. It's the same effect as "everyone is on FaceBook/Twitter/Instagram....".
Pursued FI.
The study fails at its (apparent?) purpose of highlighting sexism in the workplace without that point of comparison, though. It'd still be pretty weak even with that (it's survey-based—observational studies are expensive and hard, but way better), but it's the bare minimum we'd need to even begin to figure out what kinds of interesting things the study might point toward for further examination.
I mean, my father managed with 4 without issues, but maybe it's just parenting skill differences.
Spying on gay people or people in general is a separate issue to the parent comment.

My reply is more referring to the intent of the parent comment. As in how is spending "millions" justifiable to root out gay people in a catholic organization.
Yes, building stories out of the experience of applying mechanics is the thing unique to games, "agency as art." We tend to call games "good" when they most resemble one of the other two prominent narrative art formats, movies and novels. But games aren't better at being those media than those media themselves are, it's a creative dead end imo.

He seems to have a really good sense of what games can do that is actually unique to the medium of games.
What is the purpose of this statistic if it is not comparing the prices of the same labor?
You still own the domain and are free to setup another hosting with the same address. With Gmail if you're banned it's over you lose access to everything and have to manually reach to all your contacts.
In what way? Morally and ethically, I think you're going to get a resounding yes from people here. Legally, I very much doubt it, but I am not a lawyer.

Per-repository deploy tokens should function for that purpose.
I don't want my phone in any way involved in login. Can I still use Github?
He didn't say he's trying to solve that. You're reading in things he did not say. You're trying to shoehorn whatever your solution is to that particular problem. (and I love camping / hiking / etc). That's a completely different question than "Can I go 24 hours without any external stimulation".
They never mention the massive increase in IoI tech!

With all due respect, the comparisons need to be on a career to career basis. The above numbers are so misleading it is sad
You can easily use TOTP or webauthn as a second factor.

Money stress does terrible things to even the best relationships. It doesn't even have to be abject poverty. Most of the people in the US would have a hard time dealing with an unexpected $500-1000 expense[0]. Which of course is a fantastically plausible outcome from almost any kind of medical issue -- nearly 2/3rds of bankruptcies are because of medical debt[1]. What choices do you make when your partner's difficulties make it so that you can't afford to eat? How long do you keep your kids in a situation where Famine stalks them, hollow-cheeked?

At the end of the day, I don't think we can socially afford this kind of social engineering.

The best we can, or should, do might just be "restrict actions but let people talk".

Let people talk about killing minorities but make it illegal to act on it.

Otherwise, you start imposing this whole fear-based command set of "you should never say certain things because I've decided in this moment that there's never a legitimate reason to ever say them and it might lead to action which we want to optimize out from even becoming a possibility because the Fourth Reich will rise irresistibly at any moment".

It's a deeply depressing outlook to have about your fellow man, and that itself will drive bad outcomes. "You think making edgy jokes is not legitimate and that I'm about to slide down a slippery slope of fascism? Well, now maybe I will, or at least pretend to, if only to troll humorless Orwellian cunts like you."

I.e., something like the https://psychology-spot.com/rebound-effect-in-psychology/
You don’t need to provide a phone number to enable 2FA. GitHub supports OATH applications that generate one-time codes and webauthn so you can use it with a yubikey and not bother with pesky codes.
With how aggressively they de -fang the IRS so it can't enforce white collar crime, it doesn't seem a given that they would want to spend tax dollars investigating and prosecuting this kind of white collar crime. They're more likely to just get rid of Medicare to cut costs.

I think we just need more practice and need to see them more often until it becomes normal. Currently i avoid to use them.
Absolutely insane. Why does Github even care whether I use 2FA?
GitHub is also one of the few big sites that support Passkeys for 2FA. You can use your Trusted Platform Module, Yubikey, or any Secure Enclave equipped Mac to 2FA.
One possibility is to use our open-core document management API build to deploy in your AWS account: https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core

The files are stored in S3, with customizable metadata storage in DynamoDB. As the system is designed to run on AWS Serverless and Managed Services, the majority of the cost will come from S3 storage fees.
I can imagine that China also has massive infrastructure and a manufacturing environment built up over the last years that may become increasingly hard to replicate in the US. I bet there some "critical mass" for high-volume manufacturing that's needed, if you don't count subsidies. Even if it's all robots, you still need suppliers etc.
Probably no one wants to take the risk or responsibility for letting a small one burn in the event that they lose control. No one gets in trouble for failing at trying to put it out. But taking the decision to stand back? You'll get raked over coals if it was the wrong decision.
Having your own domain you control the MX record. If google locks you out, you can still move to another host for your email on the same day. You don't get your historical email (unless you backed it up with offlineimap or something like that) but at least you still have access and control over the address. Using @gmail.com for your business (or even personal email) is asking for trouble given how notorious google is at locking people out with no recourse and for mysterious reasons.
There is no jQuery or React being used. You can use TSX without using React. See https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder
From a cursory read the options for 2FA are:

- SMS

- Mobile app

What if someone doesn't have a phone?
Not the parent, but this article might be instructive

Webauthn works, as does TOTP.
"Stylized" is the more recent term used for it.
"""MESA / RADV drivers wont work with FP16. Please use the latest AMGPU-PRO drivers (non-pro OSS drivers also wont work) or the latest NVidia Linux Drivers."""

Is this going to be addressed?
"Both conservative and liberal Americans share fake news because they don't want to be ostracized from their social circles"

Sounds plausible.
Thanks! I'll get the next video audio fixed. Agreed! Have to start somewhere. As the Second bots get more sophisticated, I think they will pull away more and more from what you get today with traditional starter kits and boilerplates. Most strikingly, you can use Second with existing web applications! Can't do that with boilerplates.

About agencies - yea some of my first customers are agencies, and the value prop is pretty great for them. Yea, pricing is super hard.
This is not intended to be snarky, but I’m curious to understand the boundaries of “no technology”.

Does it mean not using devices with screens and/or Internet connectivity or does it include avoiding things like refrigerators, washing machines, blenders, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, electric lights, doorbells, electric kettles, water heaters, fans, air conditioning, automobiles, and many more that are built with technology?
> Legal structures and especially state or state sponsored entities in Canada work much differently than in the US. The ICBC has a literal state sponsored monopoly over car insurance, titling a vehicle and driver licensing, whereas in the US no state handles car insurance, while titling a vehicle and driver licensing are not necessarily the same state organizations. This state sponsored vertical integration enables abuse of authority

It's impressive to see how omnipresent the government is everyday life in Canada, often via these state sponsored entities with bizarre ties to the government.

Alcohol sales are handled by government-owned stores (because it takes the government's unique expertise to run a liquor store?). Dairy products are subject to production quotas administered by the government, and excess production has to be destroyed (it is illegal to compete and lower your prices!). Car insurance is done through the state run monopoly so you can't shop around for rates. Health is handled by a single player, so you have no say in which providers you are assigned to (if you get one at all, they can deny coverage with year long wait times but you are still on the hook for the tax bill!). The country's largest broadcaster is state owned and operated, with journalists on government payroll reporting on... the government! Say the right thing and you might even land yourself a cushy government job [0]

For me it is the other way around. Scientist sound like laymen in philosophy when they want to bring their data into a larger context. They stumble to explain why certain connection can/cannot be made and how they come up with the implications.

^This applies mostly to epistemology.

I like my philosophy in the format of what the youth calls 'schizo-posts'. Weird, out-there, grasping to find right words and closer to art than anything else.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to correct me so patiently.

Discovering that background noise is largely down to distance from mic plus gain makes me want to explore condenser mics again, paying more attention to polar patterns and learning how to set them up better somehow.

I preferred how I sounded with my condenser mics but struggled to reduce room noise without also reducing voice levels significantly, even when I was basically on top of the mic and hearing the proximity effect. I tried two condensers and both picked up ambient noise and road noise. I was researching noise gates/compressors at work when a colleague said, “just switch to a dynamic mic” and that ended up working, apparently for different reasons than I'd assumed — guessing a different pattern or gain…
Hopefully in your future an AI bot doesn't invent a Second competitor and put you out of business.
It becomes obvious that those people don't actually care that much about gas prices, since they could have bought a prius or camry hybrid or similar from honda would quite simply halve the amount they pay for gas, but nooooo that doesn't fit their weird culture to have to have a giant car.
