For part a) that is only true for a small selection of observations. A huge proportion of astronomical science comes out of surveys that typically use large fields of view. Additionally, observation times can be very long, so even if you are looking at a small bit of sky you can still end up having things ruined by a satellite.

For part b) you are completely incorrect in your assumptions here. The majority of the cost and effort of telescopes is really in the instrumentation (the 'cameras' that are strapped to the back of the telescope). To get the most out of an observing facility, we need access to these to change them, fix them, and improve them. This is not possible with a space-based mission.
Well that's good at least, I presume if you're under threat of being targeted by an NSO pwn, you're hopefully running lockdown mode.

How crippled does the device feel? Is it usable? The two things you mentioned wouldn't be a problem for me. I've been considering enabling it for a while but wondered how restrictive it will realistically feel.
I had an experience of trying to install InkJet and some old DeskJet AIO just 3 weeks ago and it wasn't great. Brother, Brother is plug and play.
State officials disagree with each other all the time, they get corrected by courts all the time, etc.

A state audit is always going to be heavily biased toward state interests as opposed to corporate or local interests.

Laws aren't black and white and auditors make arbitary distinctions over gray areas all the time. Being found out of compliance by a state auditor isn't even remotely a sign that Apple and Cupertino weren't following the law -- especially when it's not like Apple cheaps out on its lawyers. It's simply that the auditor is challenging their interpretation of the law. Ultimately, a court would decide. And states lose in court all the time.
Good that they disclosed it. In one of the places where I worked before, I had to sign a statement that I won't copy code from stackexchange, because of the unclear licensing. That is, the risk that the answer is quoted from or otherwise based on some open-source project, and because that could, in the worst case, force the company to disclose their code publicly.
The founders designed a system that was slow to act on purpose. They did not want a strong federal government.

Given how difficult it is to predict policy outcomes this is probably a good idea. Even if a collection of policies are good on the individual level there is no way to figure out if the interaction will be net positive, nor if the cost of remedy reverses the calculus.
I read that wrong and was disappointed there weren't a bunch of "cool" police officers interacting with The Youth.
Ask HN: Are you a self employed Software Engineer? If so, what is that like?
If you are a self employed software engineer… how does that work? What is your schedule like? How do you find work? What do you do?

…For lack of a more precise question, I really just want to know: what is it like?
At my last job, I built a SQLite editor as an internal tool with C++ and ImGUI. It had custom features/views for our custom needs.

It was super fun and the code was super easy to read and edit. Immediate mode made our job much easier.
Astronomers are not in the business of getting an emotional reaction from looking at the night sky, we're trying to learn facts about the universe by making quantitative measurements--a process that megaconstellations indisputably degrade.

As it relates to developer salaries, you don't have an option to decide if you're going to capitalize or immediately expense. With this bill, you must amortize over five years.

You're talking about deciding whether or not to capitalize a laptop, a piece of equipment, a vehicle, etc, and over what period. There's lots of guidance for that. This is very specifically affecting the salaries you pay software developers.
I've definitely gotten private keys and full configs from Cisco and Arista gear that hadn't been properly wiped. What's annoying about Arista is that while they don't post EOS versions for download, they don't even post SHA sums. It would be super easy to buy, backdoor, and resell Arista gear without any way for an end user to verify their EOS version.
Cardboard mulching is a great way to minimize the weeds in your garden! It does break down in a few years, but at least some (or most of it) gets sequestered into the ground.
Maybe not specifically a rebirth, but I recently watched Chainsaw Man and My Hero Academia. Both of these shows are kind of like a bildungsroman crossed with having one's virtuous deeds rewarded with a great gift.
There seems to be something everyone is missing here:

Eventually, ALL car manufacturers are going to "own" their screens

CarPlay and Android Auto were stopgaps, hope you enjoyed them

I enjoy using Android Auto in my '22 Civic, but I also know that the only reason Honda supports it is because they just haven't built out their replacement tech yet. They will (or license what GM is building).

Honda, Toyota, Ford, Mercedes...everyone...they are all going to own (and monetize) that center console. They don't care what HN thinks and they know that five years after the transition, no one will remember or care.

Doesn't anyone remember the story a few months back of carmakers rebufffing Apple's attempts to integrate CarPlay better? They don't want Apple owning the center screen! If you really really like CarPlay, keep praying for the Apple Car.

Everyone digging in their heels on this will be like the people who swore to never give up manual stick.
Been using the same, and I've been very content with it too.

Curious about this one.
> And then you launch any of the included apps. Chrome wants you to sign in, calendar wants you to sign in, photos wants you to sign in, not to mention Google photos pushes notifications ads trying to sell photo albums.

Yes, if you're going to use those apps, you may as well sign in with a Google account. I don't use them, though. There are plenty of better alternatives to all of them.

> The phone is very much designed to be used with a Google account, you can avoid it, but the experience is limited.

No, it's really not limited. It does take a little more setup to install the apps you want, though.
Then why won't they let them do exactly that? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coinbase-says-just-no-way-to-...
Cupertino doesn't have those stores anymore since Vallco closed.

The city has been fighting Vallco redevelopment as hard and illegally as it can because the last thing they'll let Apple employees do is live in Cupertino. Only retirees and landlords allowed.

(People on the planning commission have directly said Apple employees are too poor to be allowed to live there, are men so will molest their daughters and hire prostitutes - meanwhile the locals who show up to meethings think they're too rich so will park their BMWs in front of their houses and attract crime, and will give them cancer by planting 5G cell phone towers.)
You’re confusing two different concepts. AlphaGo learns a distribution where given a game state it generates a move that maximises its internal probability of victory. There is a second “distribution” namely that any terminated sequence of go moves has an objective result.

AlphaGo samples from the latter distribution in a guided way (as the space of all go games is computationally intractable). It uses its learned distribution to do that guided sampling and uses the objective outcomes of the known distribution to inform its own learned distribution.

One way to think about this in the context of language modelling. Suppose I want to build a language model that says the word “goal” at least once every 2000 tokens generated. I could then repeatedly generate from the model and objectively score whether it has generated that word or not in each occurrence (the analogy of the finished go game). I then can use this objective scoring function to compete models against each other and do the alpha go style training. You can see here how the new training data is sampled from a different distribution than just regular language.
Learning F# you learn dot net. And it's very similar to OCAML and other functional languages. The underlying principles are the same. So I'd not consider that a deadend
Can a technology like this at some point be used for brain uploads? Or like a cheaper and better version of cryonics - to "backup" the brain until it can be resurrected in some way?
My point is why must transformers be able to do everything?

edit: I don't mean to dismiss the work trying to figure out what they can do. That seems reasonable and valuable.

It's just, we're not trying to figure out how to tweak QR decomposition to solve arbitrary equations. It's a tool, a powerful tool, but it has some clear limitations.
I've tried to read up on biochar but actually no treatment was as clear as yours.

Where's a good place to read up on it with an eye to practical applications ?
Starlink affects even space telescopes in LEO: https://www.space.com/hubble-images-spoiled-starlink-satelli...
I completely agree to this. We moved to TX from MN for the sake of being closer to friends. Within months I can see my social life is improved, I bump into friends casually while picking up kids & walking in the community.

I read the Atomic Habits & Tiny Habits few years back and one thing I learned from there is to remove resistances from the habits that one would want to build. Distance is a resistance in building/maintaining relationships. If one want to build better relationships, reducing the physical distance between friends does help.
Gee, VCs... sucks that all your investments are doing so poorly. But if you were so good at investing, wouldn't you have picked better companies to invest in? Git gud.
To be fair to you, I certainly read that but didn't associate that letter to the comment until mikeyouse pointed it out. A lot happened between reading the article and reading that comment.
> What would a welder do that isn't research or development?

Weld stuff?
It very much affects bootstrapped companies building a software product. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it only affect Silicon Valley companies?

If you bootstrap your company to the point where you can afford one engineer's salary, you can only deduct 20% of that against your revenue. I.e. you've paid out all the cash and but you still have to pay taxes on the 80% that is not allowed to be expensed this year.
That's barely even enough to cover everyone alive right now, much less everyone from here on. This is one thing we don't need to fuck up on. I think we'd need what, a trillion numbers? Two or three? How long do you think humans will exist as a species?

For once it'd be nice if we punted the problem a lot further than 100 years down the road.
As I noted elsewhere, the structure's not specific to parity/XOR but works on n-ary merge operations in general.

It will impact the breadth and depth required for the module; the {2, 2, 1} module structure required for XOR is not generally useful - but it's a substitutable component.

A bigger problem is keeping your processor fed with the decaying layer size (you'll want to target a fixed wave size if you're running on a GPU, mostly empty waves are a bad thing), but you can get around that reasonably easily (at least for base-2).
> The eyes of my wife were added in the darkroom before the days of Photoshop and the image is titled "Donna".

...but why?

The image was probably far more impactful pre-Photoshop; today a pocket-carried device can do that automatically, live, at 1080p/60fps.

a single letter from a solicitor to his hosting would probably shut that down
You're looking at the situation very narrowly.

Zoom out a little, and you see that in the current situation, we have companies buying up large amounts of property, then using that monopoly on physical space to extract rent (both literally and figuratively) from others in perpetuity, sometimes without having to do any additional work to justify that rent. While obviously not the sole contributor, it is a significant factor in the housing crisis in many parts of America right now.

Making this kind of landlord position either illegal or much less feasible (for instance, allow individuals to own one extra rental property, or something, if that kind of flexibility is determined to be beneficial, while barring companies from doing the same or anyone from owning larger numbers of non-owner-occupied properties) would have significant effects outside the direct relationship you are describing.
I meant in lithuanian folk art traditions - mostly woodcarvings with various paints, but sometimes using other materials too. I guess forms and colors can also be included in definition of "traditional" :thinking_emoji:

I'd suggest turning it on and seeing if you can live with it. Some issues that I've had:

1.) FaceTime calls from people not in your recent calls will be blocked with a silent notification. Sometimes I don't see it for hours

2.) Incoming iMessages will be stripped of Live Photos and document attachments

3.) Using Starbucks in a browser did not work until I disabled Lockdown Mode in Safari for the domain. Fortunately these exceptions are easy to make and persist

I'm not a target for state-sponsored attacks but will generally trade usability for security when reasonable.
OP was comparing touch interfaces, and used iPhone and Android as examples that were well ahead of MS and by how many years. I mentioned the Zune because it's a counterexample for the specific claim made by OP about the timing of Metro, specifically with respect to touch interfaces.
You can’t feel it, and you have to stay still for a long time sometimes in uncomfortable positions.

All the while trying not to laugh at the funny noises the machine makes which will blur the image and make the procedure even longer.

It really does sound like the machine is farting sometimes…
No, the issue is that pretend internet points always end up having real value, because human brains are lazy and rate in-group signalling really high and therefore trust ads that come from "big people" more. That's like the whole thing behind the influencer advertising economy.

Reddit didn't get rid of r/hailcorporate on accident. There are literal industries that exist to make fake accounts, karma farm, and sell use of those accounts to post basically sponsored messages that maybe even reddit itself doesn't know are sponsored. Think of how many people say "I search reddit for product recommendations" and know that companies have been pushing on that button for years and years. Whether reddit is honestly trying to prevent this kind of stuff doesn't actually matter, because as long as real moderation costs money and breaking that moderation makes money, the advantage is towards those who break it. FFS, reddit still has most popular subreddits modded by one account and their sockpuppets.
IMO you should talk to an accountant. It's pretty cheap to do that in comparison to the tax bills (my accounting bills are <$1000/year for a similar situation to you). Phase II is a lot of money, and you may be able to get some venture debt now that you're past Phase I to cover what the SBIR doesn't (ie the taxes). There's also some chance that the law around this will be reversed.
They said he should reconsider if the free plan covers his usage, not that he'd get the same features. Which could be true if e.g you were only paying so you could get more than one user.

Show HN: AI Chat with 10-K Reports by Docalysis
I'm excited to share with you the Docalysis 10-K Library, a free library of company 10-Ks with an AI that answers your questions!

https://docalysis.com/library/10-k-reports

This can be useful for those working in finance, as well as those who invest on their own. For example, you can ask it how much Meta is investing in its Reality Labs initiatives ($13.7 billion last year) as well as how much revenue Reality Labs brought in ($2.15 billion).

10-K documents are typically long and boring to read, but Docalysis makes them much more interesting. Not only does it answer your questions, but it tells you what pages it sourced the answer from, so you can explore the context if you want to learn more.

Hopefully this will be useful to those of you in finance or just invest in stocks!

If there's any company 10-K you want to analyze that we don't have, you can try uploading them yourself. It's free to sign up so try it out today!
Python needs something like pip and poetry that is (1) correct, and (2) faster than poetry.
Well I wanted to dispute your Bocchi comments but it turns out Watamote came out ten years ago.... plenty of time for newer anime enjoyers to have never heard of it.

Watamote hit me a lot harder than Bocchi did, but I guess it had the advantage of getting me in a more vulnerable time of my life.
> I'll probably also get a pet eventually.

If you get a dog and walk it or take it to the dog park you will meet people there.
There's also group training classes like basic obedience and agility.

Be warned though, dogs, in general, require a lot of attention and some even need jobs.
Theres plenty of incentive for people to shoot the breeze and shout into the void on comment sections. Typing to an LLM just isnt the same, especially with the amnesiac ones we have now.

That being said, I don't agree about Reddit comment quality... its just generally not horrible, with the better part of it being old or in niche subs on niche topics (like fandoms or memes) that the LLM trainers are avoiding anyway.
Something must be wrong with me. I could never get anything useful from Martin Fowler's writings, and coincidentally I cannot get any functional code out of ChatGPT. Even the boilerplate it produces for me needs to be corrected. I still use chatGPT to produce examples of abstract things but was not able to get any working code that matches concrete problems or even compiles.

Tell HN: Netflix EOLing DVD Service
Just got this e-mail:

For 25 years, it's been our extraordinary privilege to mail movie nights to our members all across America. On September 29th, 2023, we will ship our final iconic red envelope.

While times have changed since our first shipment in March 1998, our goal has remained the same: to provide you with access to the broadest collection of movies and shows possible, delivered directly to your door, with no due dates or late fees.

As the DVD business continues to shrink, it’s going to become increasingly difficult to achieve that goal. In our final season, we’ll continue providing you the best service possible, all the way to the very last shipment.

You may have some questions, and we've tried to answer them in our Final Season FAQ - and if you want to share something with us, you can send feedback here.

We sincerely thank you for joining us on this amazing journey. We could never have shipped more than 5 billion discs without movie lovers like you. It's been a genuine privilege to share movie nights with you.

Pop the popcorn, fire up your player, and enjoy this final season of red envelopes.

Sincerely,

The Netflix DVD team

----------------

Sad to see this go. The Netflix DVD library had far more content that I was interested in than its streaming service. Lots of old movies that aren't available anywhere else, not even eBay.
I really hope they develop a faster mypy.
In my dev workflows, mypy takes most of the time. Linting is a small fraction of it.
Bad analogy because Coinbase isn't you. Coinbase is a licensed securities dealer. So that would be more like a licensed drug distributor asking the DEA how to get a license to distribute fentanyl to hospitals. And the DEA would happily answer them.

> It's not a game changer, but it's a performance boost.

The story of all AI in 2023 - maybe 2x performance improvement, maybe a bit less. The big problem is that you can't trust it on its own, so it doesn't improve productivity 100x. Not even a receipt reader is good enough to reach 100%, you got to check the total, maybe it missed the dot and you get the 100x boost after all.
Skybox: Open-Source Graphic Rendering on Programmable RISC-V GPUs
"For example, when the owner of a Chevy Blazer EV routes to an EV charging station, the vehicle’s native software can begin warming up the battery so that it’s primed for a faster charge. That’s a level of “holistic integration” that’s unavailable through CarPlay and Android Auto."

That's odd. My XC40 Recharge with the Google Automotive ecosystem in there already does this.
That’s such generic logic it applies to society as a whole anymore. We just extend past effort.

James Madison wrote about it, saying the future owes deference to the past by carrying on the benefits it inherits from it.

I wonder if people could just social in place more; talk, make art, rather than stare at a glass obelisk all day should social media die. You think that’s ever happened in human history? I dunno.
It might, or it might be cut across the board, meaning you paid more by having profit recorded during a time of higher rates. Congress can do anything with those rates.
What incentive for the Apple possibly have to make their phones vulnerable to NSO hacking tools? Apple makes more money than god selling iPhones. The State of Israel’s entire defense budget is about $18B/yr, which is less than Apple’s annual R&D budget. And they have to defend an entire country with that $18B.

The idea that Apple is playing ball with the IDF is frankly ludicrous.

If climate change were going to cause sea levels to rise, Al Gore would not have bought an ocean-front house, and banks would not be giving 30+ year mortgages on ocean-front real estate.

So either climate change is not real, or it is not causing sea levels to rise.
If it were profitable to build a machine to turn air into gasoline, I'd buy gasoline, burn it, and run that machine for free infinite money.
You really can't make your own if you're going up against an established subreddit.

This applies doubly so if it's an established region based subreddit i.e. city, state, province, or country, and IMO these are the most problematic subreddits for overmoderation. Finding non-partisan regional subreddits is damn near impossible.
That’s an example of someone who doesn’t believe in “wasting money on things you can do yourself” and constantly judging our decisions?
