Does anyone take this “naive” approach in practice? Any good image sanitization I’ve seen is equivalent to taking a screenshot of the image, re-serializing pixel contents but ignoring anything else. Any reputable service (e.g., Gmail) must take this approach to prevent proliferation of possible image-based malware.

As you noted above Discord doesn’t sanitize PNGs. This exposes a failing on their end as well, as large services taking input from users should sanitize images to protect both senders and recipients.
Is what you are measuring actually meaningful?

Also you dont need to write them out, you can still calculate it in your head "manually".

I’m not the OP but yea for me it’s motion sickness. I would t mind if he did a two camera set up, one stationary and had that on an alt channel, I wouldn’t need to see everything, just hear it and if I really needed to I could check out that scene on the POV video. But those POV shots give me serious motion sickness.

what do you mean by "what"? should i be more clear? provide more details? or you simply do not understand the subject and therefore need a digestible short summary?

All of these stories are valid and probably true for the people that tell them. But I can't help but also recall the stories I read of people talking about being poor in the 3rd world, and it being so much less stressful because everyone else was poor and it wasn't seen as some failing but rather everyone was dealing with together.

Being at the bottom of the social pyramid, even if not poor, has its own problems. Circumstances obviously change from person to person and place to place but some individuals seem to react better to being the middle a country of poor than being poor-rich in a much rich country.
No it's not, we're not ignoring losses or illegal moves at all, they are counted as losses and that's how you arrive at 1400.

It's a (theoretically) 1400 player which plays significantly better then 1400 when it knows the lines, but makes bad or illegal moves when it doesn't, and that play averages out to be around your typical 1400 player. Functionally is just what a 1400 player already is, but with higher extremes and lower lows.
I think you've missed Al-Jazari who's well regarded as the father of modern robotics several hundred years before Leonardo da Vinci [1]. Some historians even suggesting that some of the da-Vinci inventions were copycats and derivatives of the Al-Jazari's more than hundred of inventions but he's not properly credited by da Vinci [2].

FYI, of al-jazri most famous invention is the elephant clock [3].

Everyone's body is different, but you would need to be underweight or be severely malnourished to suffer from clinically defined refeeding syndrome after a three day fast. If you are normal to overweight and consuming electrolytes during the fast you are probably going to be fine.
I think you're on tilt.
That was 25 years after his fast, but there have been other cases with complications

E.g. one lady (1st case in the lnk below) who fasted for 4 months ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks with cardiac arrhythmias and they also found her heart tissue muscles were scared and filled with holes (I believe thats what vacuolated means)

The colour is surprising --- the images displayed on them don't look like they're grayscale.

It only has 64kb of flash onboard, so [Aaron] devised a clever compression technique that enabled him to store complex images on the displays.

Note that an EPD itself is a "write only" memory with no minimum clock rate, so images can be streamed directly over the network to it.

For what it's worth, the ROG Flow X16 (2022)[0] has some good specs (8-core CPU with 3070 Ti), a great keyboard layout (with correct arrow keys!), and other niceties like a mux switch and upgradeable RAM. It is so close to perfection—but doesn't have a 4K screen, ruining the whole package.

Big reason why I dislike the market so much: the existence of that machine with only a single flaw that nonetheless ruins the value of the entire product. There's nothing else like it. It seems to be the absolute best machine the market has to offer... and it just barely misses. :(

However, the screen resolution seems to be the only problem with it, so anyone who doesn't require specifically 4K (most people) would probably find it worth considering.

The day that a ChatGPT-X suggests "How about a nice game of chess?" is the day we should unplug the system. Crap, I forget the system would interpret that as a loss of command and launch the missiles.

So, where is the milestone that says the system has gotten too powerful?
That is a great point. And the UC system does have a central database. It would be nice to see total uniques per school out of transparency, as you can apply to all the UC’s much easier.

This does have an adverse effect, as relatives of mine got multiple offers and others rejected or waitlisted. Not sure what the best path is, as the top 5% probably got accepted to all, at least what I am seeing from my network. Then others are left to wait for the top 5% to choose; sometimes a month. By then, most non top 5% have to make a decision elsewhere. I am sure the UC System has it all worked out, just seems it could be done better.
That's exactly how you would fix it, the interests who control things don't want to pay market price. People in general hate paying what something costs when they have been paying the subsidized rate.
But still not in that release afaik
> The argument "it might be useful in the future" can justify research in any theory whatsoever, no matter how esoteric. It's like defending an outlandish conspiracy theory by pointing out that it is possible that it is true.

Have you read Against Method? It goes even further.

Housing part is a scary box of worms to open. Unpleasant truth is that it's absurdly easy to fix: you "only" need to either scrap market economy - so the Party builds houses and distributes them for free as it sees fit; or democracy - so people's voting intentions based on their will to prop up their property values, do not matter - then zoning will cease to exist, and developers will build millions of homes, as long as they can break even on material and labor costs - flooding the market and dropping the housing prices multiplefold, turning almost every city, except those having no land left, into slums, but very affordable ones.

When >50% of people in a democratic country have their housing situation fixed, construction almost stops because it becomes a democratic will of the people, and for the rest, housing becomes unaffordable. It's incredibly hard to fix it in any way at all without destroying the very fabric of society.
You should also add the cost to pay more to the guys in the doors with the guns.

A usual bank has only some cash for the day, and a lot of paperwork that is important for the bank but worthless for everyone else.

But a 100% reserve bank must store all the money like Scrooge McDuck so it will be a juicy targets for thieves and you must add much more security guards, something like Fort Knox.
It would be terrifying to find out the same reason that makes us the largest economy, also is the reason why we have so many in poverty.

Fun read.
I have always known it as "C's get degrees" but that's sort of a crass expression, not really the equivalent of the quote which is presented as "life advice" for the enrichment of those that receive it.

"C's get degrees": The bare minimum to get the credential is the optimal use of resources.

"You want either a first or a fourth. There is no value in anything between.": Either excel at school to maximize your achievement or don't worry about your grades and simply pursue whatever comes your way from the opportunity to be there to enrich your life.
Without any cause listed dying at 50-51 is not rare at all and should not be assumed to be related to a particular cause. In fact, life expectancy of those born on 1940 was 60.8 years, making it within 10 year of the average, something totally normal IMHO (it's like today, with a 78-year life expectancy, someone dying at 68 years old, totally not surprising).
I just ended a 16 day fast today. Any caloric intake was limited to miso soup broth (< 35 cals) and a pickle every few days. Lots of coffee, black tea, some diet sports drinks and water (with electrolytes added). Was surprisingly easy, physically, but I also have a relatively high BMI. I ended because 1) it gets very boring, 2) I was constantly consumed with the idea that I was in a fast -- it could basically crowd out any other thoughts and my work suffered a bit.

Given all of the purported health benefits of fasting I see touted on HN, and given how long he fasted, if anything I'd expect him to have lived to 100.
That is awesome. I don't think it was ever explained properly back then, so you finding this is fantastic to me. Cheers!
You're missing the point. The 20mph rules in London have been applied to all arterial and collector roads, not just residential roads.
You might want to look to the use of Swind and Swynde in English texts from the centuries before, eg: Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_History_of_the_...

which the OED gives as

"To waste away, languish; to dwindle, decrease; to vanish, disappear."

and then Swindle Stock would be the site of a place of punishment - stocks on which people are put to waste away and diminish.

Of course, language being plastic, it might also be the pub in which farm workers drank after listening to the sound of Sycthes while cutting sheaves to Stuck (or Stock) (placed uprtight to air and dry); but that's a stretch.

I drank with the harvesters, who sang me songs about rural life, such as—‘Sitting in the swale; and listening to the swindle of the flail, as it sounds dub-a-dub on the corn, from the neighbouring barn.’
The day it prevents hyperbolic rants like these from appearing on the internet is the true milestone.

Indeed, one acculturates you to the middle class and the other at best gets you a well paying job. Only the working class would think they were comparable in some way.
> Also, I feel…strangely at peace, and less bothered by the things that usually stress me - achievement, health, the economy, whatever. The moments we’re living in and about to live through are going to be so unimaginably great(good and/or bad) those all seem so inconsequential.

Why so optimistic? Not trying to drag you down to my cynical level but I'm not sure I understand what is putting you at peace, the unimaginably great, good and/or bad? It feels something like the very early days on the internet, how we all knew it's going to change everything and probably for the better, but I'm not sure what we have today is what people were imagining back then. We're definitely not living in some kind of tech utopia now compared to where we were 25 years ago.
If you’re an insider it’s frustrating to see a lot of “bad science” out there among laypeople but that’s what assimilation looks like for new technologies. But I couldn’t agree more about Twitter, in general… (I don’t consider myself an “insider” by any stretch, to be clear)
I did App Academy in January 2018, so I can only speak to their curriculum, not Lambda School’s. I have done about 2.5 years’ worth of computer science degrees (mostly the first half, I dropped out and restarted) so I can speak to how coding bootcamps stack up against college.

At that time it was an incredible job market for new developers, so the “pay us once you get a job” model made a lot more sense back then (obviously, the current job market makes it seems borderline insane). I chose to pay upfront for my course because a job search would have been significantly less fruitful for me due to visa requirements, and as it played out, it was a good decision for me. In the current market, paying upfront with alternate financing probably makes sense for a lot more people.

The curriculum was definitely solid. A highly motivated person with some prior tech experience could maybe cover the same ground in their own 3 months of self-directed study for 8-10 hours a day, but the expert guidance on-hand and the boatload of testing to validate the learning doesn’t seem reproducible for an individual. In my opinion, computer science degrees are simply not in the same game as either focused individual learning or a bootcamp - they do not teach nearly as much of the day-to-day developer skills like the shell, git, React, Rails, etc., their theoretical learning of data structures and algorithms is less focused on practical early career content, and the pace is much slower so the total content is less. (I think this understanding that compsci degrees aren’t lined up with junior developer roles is borne out by the general view in tech hiring, that a compsci degree is neither necessary nor sufficient to make a hire, though it is a positive.)
I think I'd trust independent testing more than supply chain.

How expensive is testing?

If you are going to make such a claim then please back it up rather than state opinions as facts.
memseting a struct to zero has always been and still is implementation defined behavior, as there are no guarantees on the bit representation of a null pointer.

The number of bits in a char has also been implementation defined, yet most if not all code either doesn't care, or assumes it to be 8. This is another one of those "in theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice, they're not" things.
I'm not looking for counterculture, I'm quite happy doing my own thing in relative obscurity. I'm merely being nostalgic for when it used to be a lot more visible (physically). Punks, weirdos, hackers, oddballs, flâneur's, were in plain view - their associated shops and hangouts (record stores, counter culture book stores, etc), rowdy pubs, etc. Perhaps they're all just at home on computers now. Or gentrified/normalised. I don't know. Merely anecdotal.
> and now the right wants to muzzle schools that would say anything critical of white people or positive about minorities.

I don’t think this really true. It’s the sort of thing you’ll read on Reddit comment threads and breathless NPR article titles but when you actually dig into the story it ends up being a boring story about, sticking to facts and not some alt-history histrionics.

Shout out to Rodney Zaks and his Z80 assembly programming book. Books were so important back then to learn things, especially if you were somewhat isolated.

Those of us who owned offbeat PCs in the early 1980s probably were more motivated to learn our machines as the games and whatnot were much more limited. Wish I had never given away my Microbee...
Backend complexity as mentioned above, as well as potential performance issues. You really want to avoid N+1 issues by batching all the fields and relationships you want to query at once. It's too easy to realize you're running n queries for each field of every entity you are retrieving...

I've done few fasts as well, 10 days IMHO is in the limit and you can definitely get refeeding syndrome, but probably just light one. Of the few times I did 7+ days fasts, I only got it once, and that was when I ate a lot for breaking the fast. Which obviously I shouldn't have done in retrospective, and the only symptoms was moderate stomach pain for few hours IIRC.

I do agree that at 10 days (YMMV!) you probably don't need those crazy refeeding ramp-ups of broth and soups for 1-2 days then soft foods for another few days, etc, but also don't just stuff yourself until you cannot move! Since you can chose, take a couple of light/easy to digest meals before going back to normal.

It’s amazing how the narrative around college has changed in the last few years. We often talk about government policy changes to do stuff like prevent kids from having to deal with college debt. But its presence in the pubic discourse can push kids to seek alternatives to taking those loans.
>It's OK, you simply lack imagination.

"Imagine" is a word that has more than one sense. I can "imagine" a possibility whether or not I think its probability is > 0%. Saying "I can't imagine" can be a way of saying yeah, I think the probability is 0%.

But if I can state the probability, I must have some kind of model in my head, so in that sense I am "imagining" it.

"Imagine" that strategic bombing was invented, and then everybody just waited around without doing it until there was a bomb that could destroy an entire city - i.e. Trinity.

In one sense, sure, I/you/we can imagine it. But it seems to me that sort of thing would be unprecedented in all of human history, so in another sense it seems impossible - unimaginable - although in a softer way than a violation of physics or logic.

The last bit of my previous comment was about logical impossibility, by the way.

> It's much better to be in "poverty" today than 50 years ago.

And if there was something justice and fair treatment, it would be EVEN better. So that argument is worth exactly nothing.
Also not a doctor, but from what I've read for some people it could lead to starvation and death. Basically when you are fasting, your body starts to eat your fat instead, so if you have some underlying disease, or if you are extremely lean, or e.g. a high-maintenance sports person, you are probably at very serious risk.

That said, 10 days seems a bit short for death, but yeah if you are in one of those 3 groups (high sports, extreme low fat, or with some disease) I would not take fasting lightly.
It’s hard to imagine a situation where the currencies of the world devalue to zero, but the semiconductor fabs keep working.
Ask HN: Why is running OpenMPI inside Docker getting sporadiously slow?
I am looking at a legacy code here which is first creating a docker container with cgroups (already disabled this, same behavior), which then run MPI jobs inside the docker container. It's fast 70% of the time, but sometimes MPI_AllReduce etc. are really getting slow, 2x up to 10x slower performance hit.
Please do not tell me it's a bad idea for using docker/k8s for HPC/MPI, trust me, I know that... :)
Still, I would really like to understand why docker seems to interfere from time to time here and is killing the performance.

Thanks in advance to all techies out there which might bring me on the right track.

Novice to research, how to find if the work has previously been done?
I downloaded a huge Firebase backup looking for a particular record.

I ended up using the “split” shell command to get a bunch of 1gb files, then grepping for which file had the record I was looking for, then using my own custom script to scan outward from the position of matched text until it detected a valid parsable JSON object within the larger unparseable file, and return that.
Thanks! I now get the reference, although it was completely accidental. I should watch the movie, I guess.
