YOLOv8 can do image segmentation with labeling (it might need SAM for labels) - but yeah, I understand.

For my use they're kind of able to be used interchangeably in this case, depending on which can detect objects in the image and generate a caption or image/text match (BLIP2) or detect via object detection or segmentation in SAM.
Red Dead Redemption 2, at least single player, has this sort of vibe. you control the seasons by where you are on the main quest line; you can spend as long as you want exploring each area - multiple times over the seasons if you want. Very reminiscent of oblivion, if memory serves.

Every team I've worked on that has switched from Kanban to Scrum has slowed down and never regained the previous velocity. Further, many of the promised benefits of Scrum (things like better insight and predictability about delivery rates) never materialized.

Every team that I've worked on that has switched from Scrum to Kanban saw an immediate improvement in speed that never disappeared.

Once, just once, I was lucky enough to work on a team that switched from Kanban to Scrum, and then, mercifully, blissfully, back again. To be fair, I think we actually worked quicker after the return, though I don't know if that could be attributed to having actually learned some lessons from Scrum, or out of a fear that we'd one day return to it.
Yes, there's absolutely no downside to taking already disaffected, unemployed young men who can't find a wife, giving them weapons training, and then sending them off to a meat grinder somewhere from which they—well, some of them—will return even more angry and messed up than they were before.

If I were China, I definitely would not be worrying about the social impact this sort of thing could have at all.
What evidence do you have that there is no scaling problem with sensor fusion?

As you point out, the companies that have "solved" it don't have scale.
which ones? I probably have a bunch of them on those "WAREZ" cds you could buy at trade shows.
maybe stack overflow could, i dunno, keep up with the times
Very true. As the author of this visualization, I airbrushed the country borders off the two most recent textures. Because it was too obvious that the borders show the Soviet Union :)

Professor Scotese was a great partner and instrumental in putting this visualization together. He's acknowledged on the site, but for those interested here is his website: http://www.scotese.com/. I believe he has a more modern iteration of the paleomap that is not downloadable on the web, but for various reasons I did not get those textures in this visualization (they didn't wrap properly iirc).

He also has a nice writeup of the methods used here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-q0WIa7ofISFHyBe4UxvN8DIPs8...
Twitter would probably consider India, with the world's largest population, to be a market worth continuing to operate in, even if only in accordance with the will of the government, since a social networking service whose main source of revenue is advertising is a business that needs to be used by a large number of people.
It is empty in a lot of ways, but filled with detail that many other games don't have in others. I particularly dislike how ridiculous the driving physics are, but the character customization and vast variety of different upgrades and mods is pretty cool.
Indeed it would be more like Fargate in terms of container runtime vs lambda runtime, but the line between those is pretty blurry. Fly.io for example does containers but they spawn faster than some cloud function platforms. It's not really relevant for the discussion.

> Heroku on an allocated server with fixed overhead at all

I don't think you're familiar with Heroku then? I'm not talking about dedicated or managed servers. That's exactly what their 'dynos' platform has been doing since ~2008, though less granular: https://www.heroku.com/dynos/scaling

"All you have to do is handle the routing inside of the lambda using regular ASP.NET Core" also applies to both fly.io and Heroku. That's what I'm getting at. If you don't have a collection of independent cloud functions to execute, and you are spinning up a little monolith for every request, the platform seems like overkill.

Is there a list of changes compared to searxng somewhere? I'd recommend adding something to the readme about the reason for forking the project as well. As far as I know, searxng is still maintained and accepting PRs?

Also, the readme says:

> In short, we just don't log nothing which means you don't really have anything to hide.

Double negatives like "don't log nothing" really bother me. You'd probably inspire more confidence simply changing it to "We don't log anything".
That's a whole lot of "no wonder everyone is leaving California" from an organization based in California.
sqlite is fine for this usage.
I'm curiuos about the interactivity of Janet as well. I saw that someone added support for opting into a level of indirection for resolving symbols, which would theoretically support re-defining functions interactively. There also appears to be Conjure support for editor integration.

In my case, I wasn't convinced Janet would support REPL-driven programming like Common Lisp, so I decided to try CL first. I very much like the concept of Janet (a Lua-sized Lisp), but I couldn't identify a compelling reason to choose Janet over CL in my case (just some hobby projects).
Has this been confirmed by anyone, or is it something happening in your head?

I have a lot of these “what ifs” that are unsubstantiated - they’re my anxiety popping up. I don’t know if that’s you, but what you wrote feels familiar.

I suspect most people aren’t thinking about you that much.
Most games (including Cyberpunk without the path tracing mode) do use hybrid renderers indeed (so it's sprinkling ray tracing to specific parts of the traditional pipeline).

The path tracing mode mentioned here however, does "full raytracing" like blender does (outside of a few exceptions such as particles). Same with Portal RTX, Quake RTX and a few others.
I wondered about Annihilation too.

I mean... I guess the climate did change, but it didn't seem like that had anything to do with anthropomorphic climate change, which is surely the implied idea of the category
Ask Apple creates an opportunity for developers to directly communicate with Apple engineers outside of WWDC. This article compiles some of the Q&A related to Core Data from the event, and includes some personal insights. This is Part 1.
Interesting, guess we'll see what comes from that. Thanks.
Why not just do the right thing with points? That way you'd also do the right thing with the billions of existing pages that will never be updated.
I don't see which of the things mentioned are supposed to be differences to SearXNG except "In long term the source code will differ from the provided by SearXNG by a lot"
Writing TypeScript can be a bit hard or difficult at times. You can definitely get sucked into battles trying to figure out a lot of dumb shit that obviously works great but that you need to contort to something TypeScript can grok. Some of the errors it complains about are awful.

But on the other side, writing code consuming TypeScript libraries is amazing. Seeing all the type information in the IDE reveals so much, resolves so many questions, and builds confidence so quickly.

The other issue with TypeScript is that tooling is all awful & terrible. Tsconfig is a drag. There's a serious lack of good conventions to follow & tons of ad-hoc stringing shit together. Ideally libraries should output both esm & cjs but typescript literally doesn't support it & you have to run typescript twice, so now you maybe are introducing yet more new tools like concurrently if you want to do a good job. Oh and now your "watch" script is even more janked up too. Deno does a good job of making this pain all go away, but in general TypeScript is one of multiple layers of tooling that simply sucks, that thieves energy & attention.

This is honestly the most overblown issue I've ever seen on HN. How many people are buying a brand new in box pixel to install a custom OS on and do not have an internet connection anywhere, not even a free public wifi? I'd be shocked if this impacts even a single person.

At this point it's being angry for the sake of it.
I don't mind being downvoted (or however it's called on HN) but, at least leave a comment as to why.
Eron Musk's ‘free speech’ only applies to what Eron, his associates, and Twitter Inc. want it to.

Twitter's policies and terms, unlike the Constitutions, can be easily changed if they want to, and Eron is a moody guy.
DLSS is a big part of the magic here. Ordinary 1 ray per pixel would be barely enough, let alone 1 ray per 2/4 pixels. We're really got the "trickery" to thank as without it we'd be taking a large step back in terms of detail.
Bob Dylan is a meaningless comparison, and an injustice to the wonderful Connie Converse.
I've heard over and over from managers that scrum is better at anticipating delivery dates. Even when the dates are consistently missed. They'd rather slow teams down with process so they can have a date to give their stakeholders, regardless of its accuracy.
I personally like how all this doesn’t seem to require any new protocol or checks. Just plain DNS.

There will always be overhead, but that doesn't mean it will always be a huge amount of overhead. I believe the state of the art is 97% efficiency (https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1495980) which is better than a lot of wired chargers. Real world systems will be less efficient, and it may be too expensive, but a maglev system would be even more expensive.
Hmmm, interesting: maybe the last bit is the key to working around the issue that Vulkan drivers can really only exist for GPUs (to my knowledge, anyways). You could still have VA-API drivers for devices other than APIs, alongside a Vulkan implementation.
My first experience of programming was a 1970s 8085 kit with a hex keypad and a few digits of 7 segment LED display. The only book was Intel's technical reference manual for the 8085, and my first big project (a full year university project) involved conceiving the right program, writing it on paper in assembly language, hand assembling it, entering it as hex (a few hundred bytes). It worked first time because it pretty much had to work first time so I was very very careful.
There are different problems, depending on your role

1. Communication and Funding - Does your VP know how they are spending money? How is that money allocated? This is why you have agile-fall or SAFE.

2. Planning - Can you deliver the solution your architect drew on the napkin? Does the PM know enough to schedule things.

3. Work handling in the team. This is the one that I think people most want to talk about, and anything that works for the team will work. You don't need anything fancy.
TBF that excuse isn't that bad when it comes to HN's audience.

And the intent of the law is to bring the uniformity that exists in wall sockets to the on-device sockets.
- PM/PO loves scrum, that gives them an illusion of controlling the dev speed/progress...

- the estimate is a joke...

- the standup is useful to know who is pretending work. but no need a daily standup for sure.

and a non-technical PM with scrum makes things worse.
Are they definitely not?

I've been thinking the same thing.
Arguably native rendering wouldn't have antialiasing, because that would be downscaling, so DLSS would have both some disadvantages and some advantages. So the best case is better than "not too annoying", it has the potential to beat pure native rendering.

I believe that it will soon become widely accepted that "AI beats human professional" stories above all else demonstrate how abysmally bad most human professionals are at their job, not how incredibly good AI is.

Any smart, dedicated person, armed with an Internet connection, can outperform the average doctor, lawyer, financial advisor etc., if they really care about getting it right. That's because those professionals generally don't really care about getting it right. They care about their income, their schedule, their more profitable clients, and about a million other things. To them, you are mostly a distraction, and at best a cash-fat cow that they can milk, an attitude that is often in conflict with acting in your best interests.

Of course, in principle these people are better in their field than you can ever hope to be, and have forgotten more knowledge than you will ever have. But that doesn't matter if they only put in 10% of their potential, and the entire "consultation" has to be concluded in 15 minutes.
This sounds more logical. We change the environment way too fast so that we become worse adapted to the new, human-modified, environment as a result
My nation and the elders of my family historically responded to proponents of hate ideologies with hot lead and HE artillery shells. Letting them get off with nothing more than a minor criminal record is an extremely generous offer.
The BSD man pages cover it pretty well. It's more fun & games w/ the pseudoterm. Should ^S, ^Q go to the terminal driver, or to the program using it? In the case of the shell, this means the readline lib.

Is “doing Kanban” just having tasks on a board without any sort of sprint structure? I feel like it’s a bit of a false equivalence. While I won’t ever defend all the cruft that comes with Scrum, the article seems like a bit of a straw man.
Engineers (or at least engineering firms) also get rewards for exposure to tail risks. As do many other professions. I'm not convinced bankers are special in that regard.

Since not every website will let you do that, even though they should, it's of paramount importance that passkeys can be cloned.
Usually the modem is the thing that implements SMS and phone calls, so it probably wouldn't be possible to do that. You could of course start a VPN and do VoIP and messaging apps instead but then you'll still be getting SMS and phone calls.
Has anyone heard of a software engineer actually being held personally liable?

I think it would be good for the field if this was a possibility, but as far as I know it this is only really possible for the classical “get a license or operate under an industrial exception” type engineers.
It is possible 64-bits might have discouraged adopters who didn't want to waste expensive unnecessary extra bits at the time, so TCP/IP might not have taken off.

GPT4's answer to your comment :)

A potential solution to tackle the economic calculation problem and avert both hyper-inflationary and deflationary death spirals involves creating a more flexible, decentralized economic system. This approach might include:

Decentralized decisions: Spread economic power by allowing local communities and smaller organizations to make decisions based on their specific needs and situations. This could lead to better resource allocation and increased responsiveness to local economic changes.

Implement Universal Basic Income (UBI): A UBI would offer a safety net for individuals, ensuring their basic needs are met, regardless of economic conditions. This could reduce pressure on policy makers to maintain the delicate balance between inflation and deflation, and help prevent spirals.

Use technology advancements: Apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance economic forecasting, resource allocation, and overall economic management. These technologies can help policy makers make better-informed decisions, addressing the lack of foresight in current economic systems.
Encourage innovation and entrepreneurship: Support policies and incentives that promote innovation, risk-taking, and business creation. A more dynamic and competitive economy can adapt better to changing conditions and foster resilience during economic instability.

Promote sustainability and resilience: Motivate businesses, communities, and individuals to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains. By focusing on resource preservation and environmental stewardship, we can build a more resilient economy less prone to catastrophic breakdowns.

Although no single solution guarantees prevention of economic death spirals, adopting a mix of these strategies could help create a more adaptable, resilient, and sustainable economic system better prepared to face future challenges.
My understanding is that there is no "right" thing.

There will be cases where you want font sizes to be absolute and not vary depending on the system. For instance if it's text that comes with specific graphics of fixed size, or there are strong layout concerns bound to it.

In other cases you'll want relative sizing and adjust to the user's system preferences as much as possible.

That's a decision that has to be made site by site, element by element, which is why em are a recommandation, and couldn't blanket replace absolute units.

Yes but raw velocity is not the only thing that matters. For some projects it is, but for many the accountability of Scrum + the grouping helps with dependency management across an organization.
Brightline is operational and wildly successful between Miami and Palm Beach, expanding soon to Orlando, and it's literally the only higher-speed passenger railway actually built in the US since the Acela. So, yes, it is very much ahead of the game.

For AI training 4090 is more efficient by quite a lot. Trade for a 4090 if you have the money for it and a good enough rig. Otherwise the 24GB VRAM of a 3090 is good and having more system RAM/disk helps more instead of a 4090.

I really don't understand how this relates to the current banking crisis (yet). They're complaining about the amount of leverage in the investment banking system (seemingly unlimited when counting the leverage of derivatives) but all the banks that failed recently were doing normal banking (taking deposits and making loans).

I also don't fully understand what "doing Kanban" means - like you, I see Kanban as a type of board rather than a method of going through said board (maybe because of a lack of understanding of process & an over-indulgence in Trello's marketing).

That being said, I would say that having a Kanban board without any sprint structure (or any attached micromeetings) would skyrocket my productivity. The two-week sprint thing is meaningless to me - in my org tickets overflow from one sprint to the next all the time, tickets get added mid-sprint, it's an utterly meaningless distinction.
What about Racket makes it not a Scheme?
Maybe instead of mandating USB-C, the EU should have said that you can use any connector you want, but whatever you use must be an entirely public domain open standard, with no proprietary extensions allowed whatsoever. Then Apple wouldn't have an incentive to use Lightning anymore, since the only way they'd be allowed to would be to give up its MFi gravy train.
Assuming perfect efficiency and that people are doing the speed limit, 1 mile of 200kw charging at 70 mph gives you a grand total of 2.8 kWh of juice.

Of course, there will be losses in power transfer, and nobody in the US actually does the speed limit, so in reality the actual amount of charge you'll be able to pick up off this thing will be significantly less than that.

What a complete boondoggle. Embarrassing for everyone involved.
I am probably missing something but is kanban even the correct metaphor for creative work(like software development).

Kanban is a back pressure mechanism that can get your factory logistics system running smoothly. However the logistics of creative work is very different than the logistics of assembly work. There are almost no parts needed, why is a backpressure system for part delivery even useful?
> It seems lame that you have to phone home to unlock a new device, but it's nothing compared to what they could be doing.

My guess is that it's protection against stolen hardware? They can basically ban S/N of stolen phones, and the thieves can't unlock the bootloader and resell the device.

But yeah, it seems like a reasonable thing. Out of all the vendors, Pixel phones are by far the easiest to unlcok, seems like a weird thing to complain about.
Managing the confidence of your benefactors is a big deal in business, I'd say you can make a career out of it alone, no other skills required. So in a sense you could say that Scrum is the businessman's brainbaby to handle engineering types.
