No one outside the telecom's accounting department will have the figures handy to know either way. And the net balance would certainly would be proprietary information that won't be shared on HN in any case.
The speed the camera arm would need to move to nearly freeze time is astonishingly fast—if you were to try doing the entire shot on one camera. But I could imagine a setup with a static beginning and end camera, with a motion controlled camera timed to whiz by both so it could ramp up the acceleration.

But much cheaper to put a camera on a rail/track instead of complex motion control.

> These students didn't want to study. They didn't want to learn all the answers to the questions that reasonably could have been on the test.

Sorry, I have to reject these assumptions. One can imagine a stressed student who is attempting to learn from any available resource. This person getting confused by the poisoned material just exposes that they went against school policy by virtue of falling for the trick. There’s no argument for why their intentions were necessarily to avoid the work of learning.

Remove the professor’s assumption that they were adequately tricky with their question trap and perhaps it becomes more obvious. They may have instead just done something which confused an otherwise (if one disregards school policy) innocent student into believing false information.

They more or less built a tropical jungle in the the desert (Along with several other biomes, but the jungle is the most incredible). Over the decades it’s become overgrown and all the trees completely fill the dome to the ceiling, there are waterfalls annd rivers and all kinds of life in there, the humidity and everything is exactly like a real jungle; it’s borderline science fiction. Maybe science needs a few more artists because if we want to live on other planets without going insane it won’t be in sterile space capsules, it’ll look like Biosphere.

When I've used the code interpreter in similar cases, it generates plots using Python code that it provides. So typical not hallucinating, and it shows its work (the Python) which lets me verify.
That's the only application I see for black box language models that hallucinate text.
I was part of the Cloud SQL team when putting databases in VMs was designed (previously the MySQL process was run in a sandbox).

I am sure Cloud SQL is far more advanced since then (9 years ago), but security in depth was something we thought about a lot. Running in a VM for each database rather than a multi-tenant system was for security more than anything else. We could have multi-tenanted just as easily implementation-wise.

The recovered videos were evaluated with various semantic and pixel-level metrics. We achieved an average accuracy of 85% in semantic classification tasks and 0.19 in structural similarity index (SSIM), outperforming the previous state-of-the-art by 45%.

"It's a cat, moving" and "meh. Two people walking is good semantic match for person walking" levels of semantic match. (Both examples in the paper)

Structural similarity.. frankly it's bullshit. It's not even close for fidelity to subject by any human measure.

Certainly the GPS navigation equipment on board a vessel could fail in the event GPS signals are jammed or otherwise inoperable.

As for the navigation aids themselves, as of a decade ago there were no GPS devices in the aids (though a GPS receiver is used for precise placement of buoys). The navigation lights in (or near) the lighthouse structures use large lead-acid batteries for energy storage, and a large solar array for charging. When I left, we were in the process of converting many of the aids to LED lamps, which use far less energy (thus reducing the size requirements of the batteries and solar arrays). For the larger lamps, we had a pretty complex box with the electrical equipment to manage charging, flash patterns, backup lights, etc. (the old "SACIII" aka Solar Aid Controller). The electrical systems are all pretty neat but really don't need the "shelter" of a lighthouse, and many lights are on simple towers.

If an army of vegetarians walk into a brazilian steakhouse, and complain about the lack of food available, the story remains the same. The vegetarians are wrong for not meeting the expectations of the restaurant's intended audience. It does not matter if you have 1 vegetarian, or millions of them. The second they chose that restaurant, knowing its intended audience, and their own restrictions/preferences, they were in the wrong.

If an army of meat-loving southerners, clamoring about their love for all things flesh, walked into the same restaurant the next day -- would you suddenly turn around and claim the restaurant is now correct? The audience has spoken!

And if it were 50/50? The restaurant is simultaneously right and wrong!

It would be an act of absurdity. The audience is no singular contiguous thing; it can be shifted and manipulated into all sorts of opinions -- the majority opinion is a temporary state.

It would be just as absurd to demand that the steakhouse be made hospitable and of similar quality to both the vegetarians and the omnivores -- it is in serving these subsets of the world's preference that the provider refines their production. To serve equally to all is to provide the lowest common denominator -- something to please none, just as it offends none.

It doesn't matter that the area is full of vegetarians; should the omnivores not be granted meat because 51% of their peers refuse it? Because 67% refuse? 99% refuse? Let the market dictate it nonviable, but do not reject simply because of majority rule.

This verges on sounding like a neural disorder to me. I notice screen tearing. So what? Please kill my framerate and bloat my latency an order of mag so I'm rid of this awful graphical artifact!! While the compositor's at it, maybe it can add delays with animations to when I close or minimize windows! (Just kidding; don't do that; that's way worse -- unless there's people who don't notice that that's the cost of eliminating tearing.) I'm using a computer. It's drawing frames. There should be tearing. Why would you want to boil the ocean and make the snappiness of your game/entire desktop worse to sustain some denial of the fact that you're at a computer?

Here's another thing, which proves that directly addressing tearing is false dharma: it gets better with higher refresh rates. Having higher Hz is awesome, and it's improving the issue to boot! It's like antialiasing. You're rendering stuff multiple times, taking enormous performance hits, sometimes now even using semi-sentient AI to smooth the jaggies out... when it turns out that the jaggies get better when you increase your resolution. False dharma: trying to live the lie of no jaggies on 768p @ 43 FPS; TRUE DHARMA: accepting and advancing your computerized existence on 4K @ 53 FPS. Same with tearing and refresh rate.

Also??? These days, adaptive sync (on the monitor hardware level, NOT software driver level) completely eliminates tearing. Another dharmically truer solution.

Also, while you're so hung up on tearing that you'd leave X11 for Wayland, you've clearly never experienced the awesomeness of xdotool, which isn't available on Wayland. You're not truly living. You're trapped in a gilded cage, satisfying merely the basest petty natures of man.

I don’t think you deserve a downvote but I can give you my take having worked at a lot of places that did their own infra as well as cloud.

You don’t need to physically rack servers, lots of systems integration vendors and remote hands will gladly put servers together for you. Most colos will gladly help you figure out connectivity. And there are lots of vendors, like Cisco, who will deliver a rack to your datacenter with virtualization software installed and everything, plug and play..

My point is there isn’t an either/or choice of using the cloud or building the universe from scratch, there are so many available options in-between. And while those options aren’t available conveniently behind an API and might require a few old school phone calls, you can save millions of dollars, get access to better performing hardware, have better control over data sovereignty, and 90%less lock-in if you choose to go down that road. It’s not for everyone but a /lot/ of workloads that people are running in the cloud can be done better elsewhere.
I'm unconvinced it is. All of those virtual hardware drivers require their own code, often at kernel privilege. Hypervisor functionality at the processor level helps but is a huge attack surface in itself. X86 "rings" are under tested because it's hard to - many violations just kill your whole VM, but more importantly there's a ton of instructions that access "physical" memory and the state of the page mapper, even at the ring-0 level, matters a lot.

I do think VMs are likely more secure than containers in a cloud environment, because of course at that level you have both problems, but I don't believe that.the number of vulnerabilities found at the VM layer is at all reflective of their actual vulnerability.

EDF posts record loss in France due to reactor outages
I've recently been made aware if the corrosion problems that were discovered in French reactors in 2022 - which were alarming, and induced the shut down half their plants[0]. Even a few months ago massive cracks were discovered in one reactor[1], raising concerns for other similarily constructed plants.

I've also found articles posted here showing that hotter summers forces them to lower production - otherwise wildlife begin to suffer in the rivers used to cool the plants[2].

I am very suprised that this is something I was not at all aware of. Not being an expert at all on the subject, could anyone weight in on the seriousness of the situation?

Applied to practical PV and wind power and batteries, this has some merit. But, the point is those lab bench designs HAVE led to structural improvements, engineering at scale. And they did in nuclear engineering too. All he was really doing is drawing a line through "simple, cheap and easy" language coming out of benchtop work.

> The model fit for those eligible for the shingles vaccine predicts the risk of dementia decreases with age. Come on.

Except that's not what the chart he included shows.

1. That chart shows a strongly positive age correlation in the non-vaccine-eligible group: dementia diagnoses go up as you get closer to the left edge of the chart. X axis is birthdate, not age, so the left side is older.

2. The right half of the chart shows a relatively flat relationship between dementia diagnoses and age, very slightly negative age correlation. It's plausible that more data would show a slightly positive age correlation with dementia. Visually, it appears that if you omit the 6th point on the right side of the cutoff date (assuming that it's an outlier), the trend would be weakly positive with age.

3. The charts show _new dementia diagnoses_, not total rate of dementia, and I don't think it's actually that unreasonable to think that your risk of a new diagnosis might go down with age beyond a certain point. Assuming that dementia is a permanent condition (i.e. once you get it, you have it until you die; probably close enough to true for this argument), anyone previously diagnosed with dementia would be ineligible for a future new diagnosis. So long as the diagnosis rate is positive, your probability of having dementia for a given age will be higher for higher ages. As an analogy, your risk of a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes goes down after about age 14, yet it's not illogical to expect that a higher proportion of 20-year-olds have T1D than 14-year-olds.

> Or are you mainly worried that the kind of natural vendorization that Nix provides will lead developers to only test their software on narrower and narrower ranges of version combinations?

I guess, but I would not characterize it as a problem of testing. As I understand it the thing you are "supposed" to do is use the upstream developer's exact dependency tree, unless you override it in which case you've completely voided the warranty as it were. Or, this applies to collaborators across the same project too. This means using whatever broken outdated environment that developer happens to prefer, possibly because of other software on their system transitively requiring ridiculous environments, or because they're just lazy or whatever.

This doesn't apply to software in the blessed set that's kept up to date, but I don't think you get points for being at parity with, say, Ubuntu.
I'm a working pro photographer with over 30 years of experience. I frequently buy older camera tech for hazardous duty. The optics and sensors are quite good and the current software can upres and denoise the images without looking weird. I've been photographing wild mountain lions in the central Oregon high-desert using unmanned cameras and sensor arrays. I'll leave them deployed for months in the field. I recently suspended a camera just above the waterline for capturing unique images of wild beavers at night. This is hard on cameras, but they are almost disposable because of the form rapidly becoming obsolete. Yet a very high level of optical quality is available with this old tech.

Editors never ask me "what camera did you use?". They evaluate images based upon impact.

This moment in the camera market seems really interesting to me because we have phone cameras becoming more and more capable thus shrinking the DSLR/Mirrorless market exponentially. High end cameras are getting more expensive. Where is it all going?
