Two hands have ~60 degrees of freedom (4 in each finger, 4 for extension/flexion/abduction and a few for a pose between the hands). You can speak with your hands! Or perform (shadowgraphy, puppeteering, magic).

In computer graphics rendering hands and hands gestures was considered very challenging for a long time (This was, for example, a PhD thesis of one of the Pixar co-founders, back when computer graphics was just starting). And it is still very challenging to render a close-up of a hand performing a natural looking gesture.
This is a never-ending problem with web applications that use so-called "routing" (where the client is made to make connections to a variety of URLs, which gets blocked if the URL contains "ad" or similar).
I'm surprised that they're surprised about trolls. As someone who's been doing PC gaming a long time, I always assume there'll be people who just want to ruin things for everyone else. What they're attracted to is popularity, so the better you do, the more you'll have to deal with them (they tend to grow slightly superlinearly relative to overall user growth).

This is basically every game or internet forum that acquires even a little popularity: there will be some (few) people who just wanna ruin everything, and I'm always surprised by how many people are surprised by this even when they're the technically literate sort.

For example, some Japanese fighting game devs still try to count disconnects during a match as different from losses for someone's record. One guess as to what this encourages as far as player behavior goes.
Signal has less incentive and ability to do so than Facebook/Meta, so all else being equal, the former still deserves more trust.
I worry about ASML. It's interesting that ASML is mentioned here when talking about an ailing Philips as it's a spinoff of the latter.

My concern is that in the European environment it stands alone—it stands out amongst European manufacturers like a pimple. It's IP is already under attack from China and the chances of it hanging out indefinately over the long-term I reckon are pretty slim (but I truly hope I'm wrong).

The trouble is that being the only standout in its environment (Europe) it becomes fair game, especially so when the cultural ethos isn't strong or is missing (NL and other European governments/EU should be doing more to protect it).

Also, ASML isn't helping itself by objecting about being blocked from selling to China, short-term gain will likely be its long-term loss.

To survive long-term, ASML needs to be amongst other like firms in a culturally similar environment and that's not the current situation.
Rust hit 1.0 is 7 years ago. But burntsushi has been using Rust since before it hit 1.0
I'm going to make the even stronger claim that a general-purpose statically typed language that doesn't support sum types and exhaustive pattern matching to at least the extent that Rust does is unfit for general use, just like a language that doesn't have product types is unfit for general use.

Dynamically-typed languages often have adhoc sum types.
If its a low population zone then 9Mbps seems reasonable to do phone calls and chat.
This suggests that banking is extremely efficient, basically a textbook example of the efficient markets hypothesis.

The only way you can create outsized returns to pay outsized compensation in that business is by taking outsized risk. Hence the top 3 highest paying banks are also the ones who failed.

This also suggests average compensation is a fantastic short-signal the next time the economy starts re-leveraging.

Do you happen to know if there are any places in California to go fly fishing, if any? My curiosity deriving from David James Duncan's The River Why and Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It.
I bought a framework just over a year ago. Honestly I wish I just bought an M1 macbook - it's only a few hundred more and it's a superior laptop all around (I have one for work). Yea I can't put Linux on the M1 but honestly OSX is close enough. The battery life in particular is so good - the fact that I can close the laptop for a few weeks and then open it and it starts up just feels amazing
> The strange contortions of A.I. hands make me feel a sense of anticipatory nostalgia, for a future when the technology inevitably improves and we will look back on such flaws as a kitschy relic of the “early A.I.” era, the way grainy digital-camera photos are redolent of the two-thousands.

This will be true for most AI "failures". People love to harp on some minor issue some new generative AI has in edge cases and act like it's some insurmountable obstacle that will keep humans superior forever: "haha look at the AI try to make a hand what an idiot"

As humans become more and more irrelevant, we will cling to these minor failures more and more to preserve our egos

I can’t imagine not having the ability for a variable to be one of multiple potential types. I could probably work around it, sure, but why would you want to?
Maybe only in your dreams. I've never noticed that myself. My dream generator is able to render hands just fine.
Even if your "bare promise" could work, which I'm dubious about, the larger problem is that the lender's lawyers probably aren't sure it would work, which means that they won't lend on homes bought this way, which makes the "bare promise" idea useless in practice.

Maybe what wasn't clear is why homes come into it? The most common Peppercorn considerations are in Long Leases. A Long Lease might go like this, I own a plot of land somewhere, "Freehold" is the English term for this ownership. I obtain permission and I build a residential tower, with say forty dwellings inside it. That's one building, on one plot of land, but I need to sell it to forty separate buyers. Today there's a legal mechanism to do this, called Commonhold, but it's rarely used, however historically Commonhold didn't exist, so, if I own the plot of land, and the building, I would write leases for the dwellings inside the building with a long duration. Periods like 99 years, 125 years or even 999 years are often used. Then I sell those leases. As consideration the owner pays me one peppercorn per year, for the period, and I agree to let them live in my tower in exchange. This is called Leasehold ownership, for example somebody might pay £200 000 for a Long Lease on a modest two bedroom apartment in a nice area. These leases don't really (normally) "run out" because the law requires that they can be extended for a reasonable fee, so in practice they're usually permanent.
Yeah as other have mentioned, I was using Rust before 1.0.

This is my first public commit: https://github.com/BurntSushi/quickcheck/commit/c9eb2884d6a6...

I didn't write any substantive Rust before that point. So I'm at over 9 years.
How much of this is caused by a join over "odd" decisions of what is installed by Python3 developers, "odd" decisions of what a "package" is by package makers and what I think I want to call "fanaticism" by Debian apt around things?

FreeBSD ports are significantly closer to "what the repo has, localized" where it feels like linux apt/yum/flat is "what we think is the most convenient thing to bodge up from the base repo, but with our special sauce because <reasons>"
It's so frustrating to me from the perspective of a consumer because all someone needs to do is ship "Netflix, but for games" and they'll fucking kill. Charge a reasonable subscription fee but make the games free, and make sure everyone is aware of what it is and what it does.

Stuff like GEForce Now is already great for that "core" gamer market that wants to be able to use their existing steam library but play them on their phone on the go or whatever, but that's a pretty small market because most "core" gamers would never use a streaming service as their primary system so the market is fairly small (latency, resolution, quality etc is poor compared to native).

But nobody has properly targeted that more general "I want to play games with zero up front effort or knowledge" case yet. And I suspect that's a pretty big market.
because 90% of the industry work is MLOps
the pipeline usually goes
1. make a POC inside a Jupyter Notebook with some scrappy, data and off-the-shelf model,
define metrics and train a baseline to see if the whole ML endeavour might even be worth it
2. Do error analysis, find better data, tune parameters, re-train to see if you can improve upon the baseline
3. Make the first deployment, setup data collection
4. Automate 2 as much as possible because data is ever changing and you want to try many more off-the-shelf models
5. Deploy new models and collect ever more feedback

4 and 5 are basically a while loop that never ends and that's mostly MLOps
It still requires proper ML expertise, especially when things break tho
Exactly. There's lots of stuff you can stitch together yourself, and if you're a DIY person, its more fun/rewarding to do it that way. I think the majority of homeowners will want something that doesn't require doing the install themselves, or having to worry about overall system integration.
Show HN: Comby-search – A code search tool using Comby
The C++ (or Java etc) way to do many of the kind of things people do with Rust pattern matching & sum types would be via OO subtyping polymorphism. e.g. classic visitor pattern, etc. Way more verbose and awkward, and scatters the logic all over the place.

Enums + switch is the other, and far less powerful.
Light switches are a reliable indicator that I am in a lucid dream. Switching them never turns on or off a light. They often cause a small explosion, weirdly.

Also, if there is text, it will never read the same twice if you look away from it.
There needed to be an adult in the room to coordinate a response that wasn't just everyone panicking. Thiel didn't necessarily need to be that adult himself, but his panicking eliminated the opportunity for anyone else to be that adult. The problem was fundamentally that everyone acted in their own best interest instead of coordinating a response that would have been in everyone's best interest.
The first result for a quick Google yields this case where 3M is being sued because a chemical they made contaminated a privately owned reservoir (some towns are also suing, because they also own water supplies contaminated with PFAS): https://whyy.org/articles/n-j-towns-sue-makers-of-forever-ch...

Water contamination lawsuits are as common as water.

Regarding air, in the town I live a cannabis product manufacturer is about to be sued by nearby property owners because their warehouse is emitting a noisome smell. I seem to recall the Siracha factory was hit with a similar lawsuit. It would not take much research to find other lawsuits that allege air contamination. I'm sure air contamination has been part of thousands and thousands of lawsuits.

Suing someone takes massive effort for uncertain results. Even if you have a slam dunk case you have to have some basic wherewithal regarding the legal system and not be afraid to show in court (say you have a minor warrant or are an undocumented migrant, or a documented migrant from a country with a history of deporting people who make probablems for big business).

It's far from ideal, and is also only possible once damage has been done.

Although I don't know what it looks like, I believe the next step has to include baking environment stewardship into the DNA of high risk companies. This might involve giving an EPA officer a board seat, requiring positive proof of emission safety and active monitoring of nearby populations rather than just waiting for the cancer patients to show up, etc.
This isn't and one off believe system. It's strongly prevalent in most non western countries and was prevalent in western countries for a long time before now. We're the outlier not him.
oh I see. Sorry I didn't expect you're such an early adopter.

I'm not sure how I can be clearer about this. Satellites can provide phone service using spectrum that is already allocated.
I sort of fell backwards into it about 5 years ago -- in the "Give it to Mike, he'll try anything" sense -- I inherited some mangled Jupyter notebook filled with health data, and nobody could make the model work out. Once I figured out the white paper and algorithm they were trying to rip off, it was easy enough to implement and host out as a PKL file with Fast API.

That's sort of what I've been doing since. It's much more interesting than solving botched up React Hooks, but there is about the same ratio of tedium:interesting work. I happen to like math, someone who does not like math... they're gonna go a little batty I think.

I haven't even raised my rates. I'm having enough fun with it.

So I think the answer you're after is either "Luck" or "Masochistic streak" ? :)
The content isn’t being cannibalized, it’s being ignored. The customers they’re trying to extract revenue from have overwhelmingly decided that the content of the articles these outlets write is not worth reading. There isn’t an appropriate legislative solution for “customers aren’t interested in my product anymore”.
I liked it. I like those kind of short useful examples but it's an interpreter. That makes a huge difference. So, the title is misleading.
Are they honest about it? What do you mean? Like does Breitbart come out and list it in the site “we are far right blah blah blah”?

If not I don’t see how you couldn’t also say that CNN, Fox, and Bloomberg aren’t also honest about their slant.
Developing a Video Player with Structured Concurrency
A method on a union is much less useful when you can't match on the tag though. I suppose you could store tag inside the union. Is that common? I've always imagined C/C++ tagged unions would store tag outside the union.
It's even more complicated when you try and localize this. Some languages make pluralization very complicated.

A few years ago, one of the localization team members gave me a tip I have been trying to stick to this time around.

Instead of "You found 1 coin." or "You found 2 coins." you turn it into an enumeration "Coins Found: 1"

The localization of the string part is the same for all languages.

The person you're replying to, BurntSushi, is one of the most well-known Rust library authors and has been publishing open source Rust code since (at least) March of 2014, when the initial commits on the old regex crate were recorded. That's 9 years, just based off of a random quick Github search, which was hardly exhaustive.

Oh, how I hope there is a project ongoing at Apple right now to implement some kind of on-device LLM that can drive the phone a la Siri. Any time I open the Bing app on my iPhone to answer a question I think of how useful it could be to ask it to update my calendar, fill out a dinner order, etc. How much time do we collectively waste putzing around with delivery apps etc?
Won't this encourage fishermen to continue fishing bluefin at higher prices?

What a dark future: "Bluefun tuna is extinct in the wild but you can still eat it from Mitsubishi"

And then: "Today the last bluefin tuna in the history of the world was sold for $20M to a billionaire."

Something like that...

Do we have some studies on the impact of extreme quantization on these models? In my understanding, the efforts to make them run in commodity hardware involves the quantization of the weights to 8 bits or even 4 bits. Is the model still reliable after this?
There is a third option: they can get their ducks in a row and discreetly line up a solution _before_ announcing the problem. An executive making 7 figures p/a ought to know this.
People reasonably took issue with your statement, "I do bemoan the failure of yet another attempt to provide artists with revenue," which implied that NFTs were ever an attempt to provide artists with revenue. They were not. This is not a reading comprehension issue except perhaps on your end.
I'll wait for more reliability data on ZoomLock, but it could easily prove to be the optimal solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't help the DIYer, because the crimping tools are outrageously expensive, and clearly aimed at a pro doing enough installs to make the time-savings worth it.
He also probably doesn't employ a bunch of people specifically for this purpose so it seems like an irrelevant scenario
I have. Shen yun are Taiwanese and really big on the KMT above and beyond the typical dance group, while epoch times is run by Falun gong people. Both dislike the ccp for their own obvious insider reasons. (Epoch times pivot to trumpland is an obvious play for them, works way better than natsec libs).

I wouldn't credit them for mainstream media's turn, though. We need a big bad and afghan goat farmers weren't cutting it.
If you’re going to nitpick you better be right, and you’re not. - and I think he might be too humble to say anything but you might want to look into who you’re replying to and their body of work.

Rust has been around for well over a decade - the first “stable” release was 7 years ago.
It’s always been opensource - any random hacker could download it and start using it since it was available. I think you will find kind quite a few people on this site that took it for a spin when it was still under development.

I have nowhere near the credits of BurntSushi, and even I was dabbling with rust more than 7 years ago.

Don’t be a reply guy.
Do you think spin-out is death?
When I was much younger, we had a donkey that had a breach birth, and the foal became stuck. It was awful, in every sense of the word. The foal ended up dying mid-birth, and we then did everything we could to save the mother. To the point where we were had a chain wrapped around the dead foal for pulling, and we had to cut up and break its bones to get it out.

We eventually saved the mother, but that donkey was truly scarred. For about two years, I would of said that donkey was clinically depressed. It really changed my perspective on just how intelligent animals actually are, and I’m sure they feel complex emotions just like us.
Just create your own group. There doesn't need to be ONE giant group - there can be 100 smaller ones. ...OR create the huge group you want.
yeah in that regard SVB also lost hundreds of billions on trades it could have made optimally in the market with those funds (looking with hindsight).

Should you look at the opportunity costs for lost potential gains in this scenario -- yeah. Does it "lose money" -- no, not unless you are forced to sell before maturity.

lost earnings are a wish for what could have been, not lost in reality.
Washing is pretty abrasive when there's a 5% sales commission.
I would love to see all commercial fishing banned as well for something like 10 years. Unfortunately there are other countries that would not respect the ban and even if not countries, individuals would ignore it as it would create a black market.

I still think the idea should be discussed and maybe g20 nations come up with some agreements.

Hopefully things like lab grown fish improve and maybe we can move people away from the real thing.

I keep telling my kids they are lucky anytime we get the treat of having some fish as in their future it may not be something available to the common person.
Lots of good YouTube videos and good DIY HVAC content on garagejournal.com (the latter will have good discussion on brands as well as DIY installs).

For a case where you have a ducted gas furnace, you are probably better off with a traditional A coil evaporator, especially if you want invisible in the living area of the house. Those are not as DIY-friendly (but anything is DIY-able if you're skilled and bold enough, willing to learn, and willing [or eager] to buy some tools :) ).
> Does your code ever contain class hierarchies with a fixed set of classes?

no - one of the advantages of OO programing is that class hierarchies (should you feel the need to use them, which mostly i do not) can be expanded. or indeed contracted.

> Or variables where certain values have special case meaning?

very, very rarely (i would say never, in my own code) but of course we have the null pointer as a counter-example. to which i can say: don't use raw pointers.
Let's ;)

> No, animals do not have rights.

What about pets? Let's talk about dairy industry ... why don't we switch to dog milk? Nothing wrong with dog's milk. Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly. Lasts longer than any other milk, dog's milk.

Why?

No bugger'll drink it. Plus of course the advantage of dog's milk is that when it goes off, it tastes exactly the same as when it's fresh.

> No, animal lives are not morally equal to human lives.

https://yourveganfallacyis.com/en/animals-are-not-intelligen...

> No, eating animals is not cruel.

I won't talk about this until you watch this: https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch (warning: very graphic content).

Then come back and tell me that what we do to the animals is humane and morally ok. Killing (and skinning alive) living beings who don't want to die when you don't have to is not humane.

> otherwise you'll become that annoying vegan

I'm already there ... and I don't care. I'm using my voice for those who can't speak. And they don't matter less than you do.
Isn't the fundamental problem here wanting to have your cake (earn interest) and eat it too (cash at call)?

It's a niche belief that you can keep money liquid, and earn on it. If you want it liquid, you're actually a liability not an asset: you have all this money sloshing around, which can't be put out for long term growth because you want it NOW. That actually kind-of "costs money" to do. If not money, then risk.

SVB had more money on call, than most banks. A lot more. Why? because it was over exposed to clients who needed money at call. Why? because herd mentality and costs. Because startup culture legitemates bleeding money, to build belief.

If it was economically easier to use SVB to fund day to day operations of startups than "traditional" banks, what does the failure of SVB say about the operating model of the startup sector?

If it was catastrophic for Thiel to send mail telling his "friends" to pull out, what does that say about the sector and SVB?
I’ve used TT for yrs and been happy with the support. The questions I’ve had have been fairly simple, though.

I’d say wait for the next guy?

> I don't know how important pci-e 4.0 is to you?

My understanding was that 3.0 would bottleneck the nvme while 4.0 would not. 4 lanes of 1GB/s vs modern gen 4 nvmes at 6ish read.

If the intent of killing Google Reader was to push me towards Google+, then it was a terrible miscalculation on their part. I steered clear from it until it finally died.

I jumped to Feedly, then I switched to Inoreader for a UI closer to Google Reader.
