The US actually built at least 9 Hubble Space Telescopes, they're just not called that: they're called Keyhole surveillance satellites.

The size and shape of the Hubble is directly influenced by those satellites, and in particular the surprisingly cheap main mirror optics provided you built a mirror of exactly a particular size that it would turn out there was a very experienced and equipped facility in the US for building.

There is a touch sensor that detects touch events. The signer application (used by the SSH agent and other things) for example detects user presence by waiting for a touch event before performing the signing operation.
Sigh. Because OP doesn’t give a fuck. It’s right there.

You’re proposing DNT flag. We’ve been there, done that, it failed.

Pragmatically, the opposite flag has a better chance of being adopted, because it aligns incentives - both parties get what they want: the website can track me (and really: some people don’t give a fuck and don’t need lectures on the wrongness of their ways), I get less annoying UI.

Yeah, forgot about The Fonz. Even so, Happy Days still revolved mainly around Richie Cunningham (Fonzie just happened to be around most of the time), whereas Family Matters was basically Urkel and the Winslows by the end.

> Orthodox jews are the ones who live by it, but you'd think anyone who believed in the bible would follow outright restrictions like that.

Both Christianity and Islam preserve a place for Jews as Jews in their theology. Only Jews are expected to be required to obey all the rules in the received scripture. Which components of the Jewish law are considered to apply to non-Jews, or carried forward as part of the newer revelation, depends on their interpretation, including the function or purpose they're understood to serve.

Conversely, Judaism itself has both concepts and literal rules for determining and justifying which rules (or derivatives) are supposed to be applied to non-Jews.

Also, though I'm not sure about Islam's perspective, both Judaism and Christianity understand Jews to have (present tense) a unique relationship to God, and part of that relationship demands Jewish obeyance, at least part, purely for the sake of manifesting that relationship. So if God commanded Jews to stand on their head, it doesn't matter whether that rule served some efficacious esoteric purpose; the pertinent function of the rule from an earthly perspective is defining and distinguishing who is a Jew, and especially an observant Jew. If you're commanded to stand on your head, you stand on your hand without asking questions; subservience--faithfulness--is the point.

Yes, to my knowledge, you are correct. It was a surprise when I first learned it but apparently there are users that visit imgur directly without using reddit.

That's a good start. Now we need to precisely define "number of" and "in".

Suppose I put a few bonbons on a plate in front of you. How would you assign "the number" of items in the "set of bonbons on the plate in front of you"?
They were image hosting for reddit. Once it was obvious reddit would kill their only use case soon, they became a social media platform. A better idea than simply dying. Every platform now has its own image hosting so their service was rapidly becoming irrelevant.

If someone else is making a bad argument or false claims, you should respond with a better argument and truer claims—either that, or simply not respond. Calling names and attacking the other person doesn't help.

The problem with comments like "spreading conspiracy theories" and "letting everybody spread their misinformation" is that they're circular—they assume that you're right—but they don't explain to the rest of us why you're right. They're just a more aggressive and less informative way of claiming the same thing.

I'm not saying you're wrong! I have no idea which of you is right (or maybe neither of you is; or for that matter maybe both of you are). I'm just saying that on HN we need you to make your case thoughtfully and respectfully and substantively. This should be clear if you've reviewed https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

This is already a solved problem in other countries, but of course unless you are for absolute free speech to weird extents like money is speech that means you don't care about free speech. Free speech in politics also means making sure everyone is heard, not only the richest/loudest participants.

You enforce that all media networks give similar time (and slots) to the different political candidates, treating time spent talking about a candidate or interviewing them separately from ad time.
I believe that companies have a responsibility to create safe and welcoming environments for all users.
This is an established company. Calling for people to focus on the mission is fine, so long as the company is taking care of them reasonably.

But if the situation is that the company doesn't know whether it can take care of people, but CEO still wants people to focus on the mission... One gesture would be for the CEO to have the kind of skin in the game that the employees do -- which isn't a huge equity and bonus package, and golden parachute clauses -- but to drop CEO total comp. down to the level of the workers, until the company is sure it can cover responsibilities to its people.

That said, I'm skeptical of clickbait-type calls to pitchforks/canceling. Don't apologize because content consumers are angry in general, and itching to act out like a mob, and other people are itching to incite and monetize that mob.

Instead, please rethink the dynamic with employees, and whether you're keeping up your end of the bargain, and fix that if necessary. If employees believe in you -- even if times are rough, but you're in it with them, and have their backs -- the employees should stand up and tell the random Internet mob to get lost.

I recently needed a 3d model of a crab and found that some similarly obsessive user over at Sketchfab had created dozens (possibly hundreds?) of extremely detailed crab models -- at 500k - 1.5 million tris, so basically unusable for most typical animation needs, but they're beautifully detailed and free for download.

My first thought was that it might be the same person, since they had a Japanese username! But I don't think it actually is; the Sketchfab person has all kinds of natural models. Here's the account in case anyone is interested: https://sketchfab.com/ffishAsia-and-floraZia/models

Eh. I exclusively use https://old.reddit.com/ on both Desktop and Mobile, and never felt inconvenienced.

Our cell phones are large enough today to use 2008-era websites without any additional bells and whistles.

But, of course, people who are already used to whatever UI they chose are going to suffer. Alas.

Even more reasons to be an evangelist for this sort of project. Compared to settling Mars this seems infinitely more important unless you have some hyper skeptical view of human society. Seeing the surface of extrasolar planets should be the #1 goal easily IMO
I feel like this is basically German. When I read German there's a lot there's loan words, though naturally those text here is deliberately without them. But German does seem to try to make its own words rather than mash up French, Latin, and Greek.

The loan word that sticks out is handy, which for some reason means mobile phone.

>it directly targets what was previously the primary strength of the site, easy and accountless uploads with only a few clicks.

I stopped using imgur several years ago precisely because I couldn't upload anything easily, account or no account.

Mobile in particular couldn't upload period, the feature(?) simply wasn't even there.

I've since moved on to using Discord, specifically a private "server" I made for the purpose, for my image hosting needs. God knows how long that arrangement will last.

All this to say imgur has been useless garbage for many years, its decline to irrelevance is long overdue.
I like that you use a local model to start off; why switch to OpenAI for tokenization?

For fun, I run a bare metal k8s cluster with my blog and other projects running on it. My last three nights have been fighting bugs. Bugs with volumes not attaching, nginx magically configuring itself incorrectly, and a whole bunch of other crap. This just magically started happening, but crap like this seems to happen at least once a month. It’s to the point where I spend at least one night a week babysitting the cluster.

I don’t have to pay someone else to handle this, but if did, I would get rid of k8s in a heartbeat. I’ve seen a devops team of only a few people manage tens of thousands of traditional servers, but I doubt such a small team could handle a k8s cluster of the same size.

I’m considering moving back to traditional architecture for my blog and other projects. K8s has been fun, but there’s too much magic everywhere.
You already asked that question and I attempted to answer it in the comment you are replying to. If you want a more specific breakdown, this sentence:

"How many XX-chromosome neurotypical a-political undyed-hair normies are on your 7 federated instances? Please, count."

contains flamebait, name-calling, and snark. In a rather concentrated form! This sentence:

"People can be miffed at me for pointing this truth out but that is how social networks grow big"

is just grandiose flamewar rhetoric of the kind we don't want here. And this sentence:

"Edit: Hmm, I wonder who is downvoting this obvious mathematical fact of life, such a mystery!"

broke the site guideline against going on about downvotes.

You had a substantive point to make in that GP comment, but you made it in a way that broke the site guidelines badly. I shouldn't have to explain this to you—it seems quite obvious.

If you had made the same point in a thoughtful, respectful, conversational way, that would have been completely fine.

Yes, a standardized expect would be nice, but care has to be taken to not bloat it.

Currently I use vitest and https://github.com/jest-community/jest-extended which gets you a reasonable amount of usable matchers.
In the beginning its simpler to do and you can focus on the other parts of the game.

In the end you may not have to “optimise” because it works and good enough to ship.
I can confirm that maintaining a Kubernetes cluster is a full time job. Due to its design, there are a lot of moving parts even for the most minimum deployments.

Excessive chaining is bad, yes. I would at most use a `.not` to invert, anything more is unnecessary.
It took me 4-6 weeks to get a k8s cluster up from scratch and migrate to it. I don’t do devops for a living, but I’ve been building servers and doing devops stuff for fun for nearly 20 years. So I’m not a pro, but I know what I’m doing.

If your team is a bunch of software devs, you are doing the right thing… because k8s requires a bunch of knowledge you likely don’t have if you don’t have a Linux guru on the team. Even if you are using an expensive managed solution, things will go wrong and that knowledge is needed to prevent downtime.
We know that light can create gravity, so it stands to reason that there should be a reciprocal relationship!
I would even say EMG is more useful as a HCI channel, except in the most extreme situations like lock-in syndrome or late-stage muscular dystrophy.

EMG is way more easy to control consciously and as Humans we probably have hundreds of degrees of freedom in our body for some kind of EMG, not all of it conveniently accessible of course. Controlling what consumer grade EEG devices can pick up is a lot harder. Brainwaves are "feedbackable", but that usually means changes in mental state like awareness, concentration, relaxation and so on.

A hand-drawn graph can be a great tool for reasoning, because it only depicts the features we choose — everything else is imprecise, and it looks imprecise. For me, that's actually a better way of building a visual intuition for how a function works.
Not sure on your interest/use case but something that is designed for "documents in" -> "documents out" is here https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo. It does retrieval using embeddings and combines all the text splitting and inference operations and can be easily deployed to production (its designed for that, not pip install). Works across images and allows for multi-vector representations.

Thanks very much! I had heard of Codd's first two languages as not being "usable by mortals" (non-mathematicians). ALPHA seems to be the first one.

Re: functional programming is a subset of relational programming. I read them as brand names, so it was revealing when you pointed out that they are literally true - formal properties. I wonder, what are their consequences?

For relations, each input can have a set of outputs. So this is like a tree at each call level, ever-expanding. (in general a call graph, not a tree)

For functions, I think it's only that one input always gives the same output, including nested functions. So, only immutability?

For injections, it's just reversibility. A cute idea, implemented by only having injective functions to compose, but hasn't taken off. I expect it's too restrictive, except when reversibility is the purpose.

I'd say there's a nice intuitive explanation: If you write numbers backwards, it doesn't change how many there are. And a p-adic number is pretty close to writing a real backwards. The further left a digit is, the less meaningful it is, etc.
True. I don't use Windows either normally. I have one R&D system which has Windows installed, and of course installed first because I would never trust the Windows installer to leave a Linux installation untouched. It has a disturbingly small ESP. I could just fit 2 kernels + initramfs there. I did not even try to repartition it because I would not be surprised Windows either breaking or reverting some changes at next boot. For me that system is not important and I did not want to spend a single extra minute on it. But obviously someone had to spend a lot of time to cope with that unfriendly system.
Someone probably won the lottery on https://keys.lol
Yes the recording bit seems out of the question.

However, the issue where one feels the need to write EVERYTHING down is a real one and I have been guilty of that and have missed active minded in the meeting bringing a false impression to the other party.

However, a keyword based approach seems less distracting so going down that road for now.
