Not sure what you're talking about; it did and there are many fonts that use it.
A nice compromise (since a wedding photo booth isn’t going to be super choreographed) could be to group the cameras in to, say, two groups. Trigger them periodically, 180 degrees out of phase with their neighbors, and assuming the virtual camera is moving by one real camera per frame, you’ve got double the frame rate but can still choose a path in post-processing. And of course it could easily be abstracted out to n camera sets.

This is getting pretty complicated though, he “hard-coded” the camera motion into the shape of the frame. Physical things are hard, haha.

interferometry is indeed amazing. When the ultra-important Michelson-Morley experiment was run some ~100 years ago, they were doing interferometry but in those days there wasn't really good vibration isolation technology. They had to float their whole experiment on a pool of mercury (!) in the sub-sub basement of an idle building, and even then, deliveries nearby (by horse) would cause problems.

Nowadays, physics students do the MM experiment in a lab on a benchtop in a day.

What could go wrong with forcing insurers into ignoring data to calculating premiums.
I did this competition in college, and I was obsessed! This post brings up a lot of nostalgia for me. I partnered with my EE friends, and I built the software. I devised my implementation of the flood-fill by writing VB scripts in excel spreadsheets. I would draw out the maze in the spreadsheet by coloring the cells, then I would use VBA to navigate the maze and color in the solution.

Of course, the final implementation was written in C and loaded on a microcontroller. Back in those days my options were much more limited. I can only imagine what's available these days.

I actually had the itch to tinker with micromouse again not too long ago, but I became dismayed with the difficulty in setting up a physical maze for the robot. I think access to the mazes themselves is the biggest limiting factor.

Not only that, but the NACS port is smaller, the overall experience is better, and it’s probably cheaper to make, too. Aptera embraced it as well, in part because their smaller vehicle really benefits from the compact design.
Most cameras enable using an AC adapter with a dummy battery insert that provides a barrel power jack. A quick search for that for this camera shows that it seems to be the case for this one.

Looks like this is what Microsoft uses to provide their competing product to AWS Glacier Deep Archive.

Pretty interesting. When AWS launched Glacier, people assumed tape, but that doesn't seem to quite add up relative to the characteristics of the product, and AWS has never said a word on the technology it uses. Then someone came out and started claiming they were using BDXLs, as I recall. Have to say, I did not conceive of "invent your own optical storage media" as a possibility.

My guess is Microsoft made this information public because AWS is doing something similar and they're the second-mover rather than the first-mover. But that's just my guess.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RKpA1OiEFE

Also interesting to note how this demonstrates there is a ton of unharnessed potential to optical recording that isn't available in a product available to the general public. In fact, it seems quite telling that every increase in optical media storage capacity available to the public has coincided with a new video format (e.g. 128GB BDXLs for UHD Blu-ray). Since physical medium-based video distribution is dying, that doesn't bode well for the continued availability of optical media archival solutions that can keep up with contemporary capacities...

Boolean satisfiability problem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

"In logic and computer science, the Boolean satisfiability problem (sometimes called propositional satisfiability problem and abbreviated SATISFIABILITY, SAT or B-SAT) is the problem of determining if there exists an interpretation that satisfies a given Boolean formula. In other words, it asks whether the variables of a given Boolean formula can be consistently replaced by the values TRUE or FALSE in such a way that the formula evaluates to TRUE."
I'm afraid you're a bit optimistic saying that Windows is consistent, or has no audio or graphics problems. My Linux laptop (xfce) is way more visually consistent than my wife's Windows desktop, and I had to troubleshoot audio issues on it, and on Windows laptops at work, but never on Linux (pipewire, onboard / USB / Bluetooth audio).

And yes, I run X, Wayland is too restrictive currently. I should give it another try some day though.

Agreed! The x-height [0] (among other things) differs jarringly between the serif and sans fonts used.

I used to teach formal methods at university, including a course with a lot of SAT examples. We tried to make it as practical as possible, with many examples and exercises in Java (where you just generate your formulas and call a solve method). Thing is, most students seemed to hate it passionately, just like with reductions to SAT in complexity theory.
My country's army publishes statistics on who they had to kick out over the previous year; there do manage to be some people who get discharged for being left-wing nutters, but currently they (as well as those who are discharged for being radical islamist nutters) are far outnumbered by those who get discharged for being right-wing nutters.

This is a great point that I also called out elsewhere. The orca lifestyle, despite their intelligence and their physical prowess, really speaks to a certain level of social and emotional intelligence that humans don't simply possess.

I think it's interesting that orcas and other intelligent animals possess an ability to be contented. Humans are decidedly discontented and crave.
Yeah, if they were the same size I'm not sure I would even notice.
I’d ask similar questions as the parent poster, and I explicitly wouldn’t want to work somewhere where asking these questions was a red flag.

So, it can actually still be a useful candidate side filter. If you don’t hire me because I asked these questions, that’s good for me because I don’t want to work for you (not in an accusatory manner, just we probably don’t have compatible workplace expectations).

> The execution was definitely terrible, but "browser company ships promotional easter egg" isn't that bad as "browser company inserts ads into browsing experience" in my opinion. These ads are why Windows 10+ has become a trash fire despite all the technical improvements made to Windows.

I'm not sure I agree. The Mr. Robot "promotional easter egg" was done by installing an add-on via the Shield Study system. This system is enabled by default, and it is intended to allow the Firefox devs to run A/B tests with browser features.[1] This sort of system already makes some non-trivial minority of users bristle. For Mozilla to co-opt it specifically for an advertising campaign perfectly validates the concerns of that group of people. So then we get a thread on HN[2] in which several Firefox devs post about how badly they and their colleagues felt about the whole debacle, and how it would undoubtedly lead to many internal conversations. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that happened, and apparently[1] Shield Studies now require some level of scientific rigor behind them before they are deployed. But unfortunately, the marketing department still seems to be willing to sacrifice the ever-diminishing good will their remaining users seem to place in Mozilla as the steward of Firefox the browser. It doesn't feel to me like they fully appreciated the lessons of 2017.

In my opinion, teaching should not involve taking tests at all. Students should be offered optional tests for self-assessment and for professional certification. Otherwise, focus on teaching. I see no real educational merit to it, and a lot of heartache for teachers and students.
Book Review: Lying for Money
People really seem to hate "handwritten" fonts. Comic Sans is the mainstream example, but there are a lot of other ones.

As others said, stylistic alternatives definitely exist in most font packages, especially commercial ones used with Adobe products. So the fact that they are not widely used outside of graphic design probably goes back to people generally hate fonts that look handwritten for anything besides wedding invitations.
The COVID vaccines went through the same testing and clinical trials as all other vaccines. The accelerated timeline was possible due to advances in research and preparation being done ahead of time.

If you believe otherwise, it's because you listened to the cranks who were controlling the "skeptic" narrative and ignored the evidence to the contrary, because that's where the meme of the vaccines being untested and rushed came from.
Depends on if the rise is specifically in the fraction of the elderly population, or if it's in the fraction of the general population.

If the rise is in the fraction of the general population, then an increase in the proportion of the general population that was elderly would be expected to increase the numbers of a disease of the elderly, even if nothing was happening.

If there were a rise in the proportion of e.g. 80 year-olds that were developing Alzheimer's, that'd be a different story. Although you'd still have to ask yourself if some of the conditions that were increasing the proportion of the population that are 80 year-olds were disproportionately extending the life of people with a propensity for Alzheimer's.
Depends on the setup you're using the trouble with doing video is to get the effect to be smooth you need frames at very particular times from each location which is tough to ensure out of video equipment where a bank of cameras you can trigger to take a single frame in sequence. To do the same with video you need to have a system to send a slightly out of phase sync signal to each camera in the array or just wing it and fudge the jittery motion and ramping with some VFX in post production.
They can respond by not caring about glassdoor scores.
It works very well. I used to run the Alpha 23 on my old Windows 10 device, but I got Alpha 26 a few weeks ago for my Intel Mac.

No noticeable bugs affecting my single player gameplay, except a few quirks with ship movements (they tend to overlap, which makes it look unnatural)

I have also noticed that clusters of units tend to look smaller than their actual number, so it might be a similar issue as I've noticed above. From someone who still enjoys the AoE 1 Ex, 0 AD is a really amazing game.
You get this experience the natural way still when fonts don't include a character and the specified stack doesn't have a good fallback.

I still see it on newspapers' websites when they're using a custom font and the headline contains an accented character.
I have been holding AMD since it was $8. I am running a 13B LLaMA finetune right now... And I am very skeptical of this rally. No way this is "sustainable."
Heh. I am a developer at Mozilla, so I guess you're addressing this (partly) to me.

Yes, I suspect I could find another job. I interview well—don't tell any of my potential future employers, but honestly I interview better than I do actual work. (I will say that the massive layoffs introduce some doubt. I haven't had to look seriously in a tough market, and just having recruiters still pinging me regularly doesn't mean much. Hopefully it still helps to be on the list of people who have turned down offers at $big_places?)

I'm not really feeling it hard to live with myself. Quite the opposite, really; one thing that keeps me here is the mission. It would be hard to switch to a place where I had to work to convince myself that I was net contributing to humanity. I'm not curing cancer or eliminating poverty, but I would probably be crap at those.

But I think you're specifically referring to working at a place where Marketing occasionally makes some boneheaded moves, ones that are sometimes counter to the things that keep me here? Yeah, it's hard when that happens. But (1) I still think that it's largely better here than most other places, and (2) we have this teeny little existential problem that absolutely requires marketing to do Stuff. Despite what a vocal contingent on HN thinks, Firefox's market share is not going to turn around based only on engineering work or pouring effort into improved addons and making nice with the community. Those are things that are near and dear to my heart, and I wish we lived in a world where those mattered more, but sadly I have to live in reality. And if you want marketing people to do marketing, you can't exactly tell them what to do and what not to do. Without the ability to screw things up they won't be able to find the things that will make a dent.

Mozilla is a relatively small company, but big enough that my day to day work really doesn't feel a whole lot like "...participating in crap like that". I don't feel that involved in marketing whether it's good or bad, not even when I'm complaining about or brainstorming marketing-related ideas on internal message boards (and yes, it bothers me that those conversations happen on internal boards). I'm in a different corner of the organization, writing code and doing things to hopefully make Firefox more secure, faster, and less memory-hungry. I don't feel personally responsible for what marketing or legal or HR or whoever is doing.

As for how I stand in front of the mirror... well, sometimes I do it naked, thanks for asking. I don't think either of us wants me to give you a picture.
I mean, all you've managed to state is that gpt isn't a strong AGI, not that it isn't intelligent. Stop thinking of intelligence as a binary option of 'is or !is' and more of a capability gradient.

Thank you, this is what I was trying to describe. I don't intend to argue this necessarily happened (I'd expect it probably did not), just point out the possibility. It doesn't seem to me the professor really did enough to determine the actions of these students and there is potentially good reason for them to believe the 13 or so students who claim to have not cheated. Certainly the "one student who is right ‘on the bubble’" could be given more benefit of the doubt.

I guess it's moot given the actual policy against looking up tests without the professor's permission. I can see how it's a shortcut to find the correct answers without necessarily understanding the material. But I still see a reasonable perspective that the professor's decision potentially caught people who were genuinely intending to learn.
Ah, yes: to be clear, different Spanish(es) have different words for things. Some differences are hilarious, such as the word for "to pick up" in Spain ("coger") meaning "to fuck" in Argentinian Spanish.

In Argentinian Spanish, "pomelo" is 100% "grapefruit". I'm sure of this: I'm Argentinian.

But yes, it's likely that we are both right and in Cuba this isn't the case!
I use several EF lenses on my Canon mirrorless. They tend to focus faster then on the old SLRs (and this is on the EOS-R which has the least sophisticated focusing).

I always considered our Model 3 as a second car because we mostly just drove it for local errands and commuting, and I assumed it just didn't have the range to do more.

We recently decided to use for a 2000+ mile road trip instead of using our ICE minivan, and I was blown away with how well the Tesla did as a long road trip vehicle.

We had no range anxiety because of the Super Charger network, and stopping to charge for 45 minutes after driving for 3 hours was far more enjoyable than anticipated.

Where it really did well was also surprising. Have you ever been going up a slight grade on a long highway stretch and find yourself needing to pass a slower vehicle? Most cars I've owned, when already going 65+, take a bit of time to pass a truck going up a hill. Even my 400HP+ modified Subaru STI takes its time as it needs to build turbo pressure and RPMs before it'll get fast enough to comfortably pass up hill.

The Model 3 doesn't even know there's a hill. It'll go from 60 to 120 as fast as it goes from 0-60 like the hill doesn't exist. Fully loaded with 4 adults and their stuff too.

Combine the raw power the car has with the climate control, good sound, full glass roof, ample cargo space and legroom, and it's the best car I've ever used on a long trip, no question. It's just not sub-$40k (at least for most people - I bought mine for $35k from a family member).
They're coming in way too fast if anything.

These regulations are largely an overreaction to non existent problems.

Of course it doesn't, I think that was given by the relationship between neutrino count and sieverts

But make no mistake, there is such a thing as a fatal amount of neutrinos. It's just that's a supernova mind boggling amount, but it exists. They do interact due to the weak force, which is more than neutrons do (and a lethal dose of those is well known)
This is very fair, and since I never pay attention to glassdoor reviews, somehow I assumed they weren't anonymous ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great read. I've found the design of B&O speakers appealing, but thought of them as more of a fashion brand. Seeing the engineering behind the scenes does change my perception a bit.
