If this isn't a scam it's bullshit, for a number of reasons:

- in the cities of developed countries is forbidden to fly drones so big almost everywhere;

- in the same cities is forbidden to fly or landing ultralight plane ;

- this vehicle falls in both the previous categories, so that photos in urban areas are bullshit : you can't use that to go to the office and no cities will give the authorisation to rent that stuff as electric bike to everyone. That will never happen !

- How you can possibly guarantee the security with that kind of vehicle around, against criminal and terrorist ? Providing Stinger Missiles and Apache helicopters to the police ? Shooting down drones with machine guns inside the city in WWI style duels ? Oh, please ! :-)

- I imagine flock of this toys, piloted by drunken pilots, raining down Saturday night ! :-)

That admitting that this project is feasible: observing the photos of that vehicle, I can not see space for the batteries because, as described in the specs, it should float, so the landing support should be empty to guarantee buoyancy, they say batteries are far from the pilot to guarantee thermal protection, so they can't be under the seat and above the cabin should be the "ballistic parachute". So where are they ? In the pylons of the motors ? But in that case they won't be easily interchangeable are declared in the specs ! And that magic "hybrid technology" that should solve all the autonomy problems? No details at all , another red flag. So the photos of the "prototype" IMHO are more a Photoshop exercise than reality.
HDR increases the granularity of available brightness levels, from 0-255 to some higher level. (1023, usually.) It then defines the "old" 100% level to be some value less than the new maximum.

It is usually combined with new display technologies that can emit unusually high brightness levels. On a traditional display there is obviously no point.
Yeah, which is why now the play is full EV.

But 10-15 years ago there is a generation or two of ICE still to go. Making all those PHEVs would have been a massive improvement to emissions.
Yeah, it is pretty terrible. For one reactor, you would have a point. For many reactors, it is x1000 time cost.

As far from what I know (I study in Japan in a non-technical English language program) people do have been able to work and live in Japan without knowing Japanese at all, especially with Google Translate coming.

However!
It's quite hard to deal with the bureaucracy if you stick with GTranslate only.
But for other purposes, it's very fine. The Japanese themselves are not into small talks so...

Ask HN: What team tools do you use in your startup to organize information?
Hey guys,
I'm a software engineer in a startup team where we have to use half a dozen tools for team collaboration and running the whole thing.

- Notion for Project management & Documentation (feels messy)
- Google Sheets for client facing documents like project deliverables
- Google Docs for random stuffs like meeting minutes (which should be inside notion?)
- Google workspace email
- Google drive for pdf files
- Slack for chat (chaotic can't find information easily chat is bad ux for information, easy to bug others for info)
- Zoom, Meet for meetings (zoom's video quality is very nice but aren't they all face video panels with subtitles instead of collaboration)

These tools are built by amazing teams and I respect them but they in total cause a lot of $$ubscriptions and still information is scattered in random places (partly because we need more information hygiene) and feeling overwhelm sometimes. I feel tools these days are disconnected (i know there are integrations) and slow and not happy to use.

The most recent joyful experience I'm having from trying out a tool is using Linear.app and Zed.dev. Love pure speed and ux.

What tools do you use in your startup except for product design and development and How do you manage team workflow?
This is pretty easy with wireguard or tailscale.

Or - and I know people don't love this answer - just host it publicly. Yes - it requires some monitoring and a little bit of attention, but at the end of the day it's not that hard, and the risks are fairly low (even if it gets compromised - the world is not over).

Basically your eyes can see much more than SDR. There are lots of colors that are smooshed together on an SDR monitor that would be distinct on an HDR monitor. Sometimes this means more vivid colors, or sometimes this means much more subtle gradients, or sometimes darker darks that don't get killed by neighboring brights.

Whether the effect is significant depends on a lot of stuff; how the display is built, how the codec works, your viewing conditions, and not least of all, whether the content "looks better" artistically with that much more range.

Just like the compression audio effect clips the range of music and how some pieces of music sound more expressive when the range in amplitudes is used well for artistic effect.
He's improved a lot and is much better these days about selecting roles that play to his strengths, but yeah, Keanu is an example of someone with limited dramatic range. I'd point primarily to a handful of his early 90's roles.

'Much Ado About Nothing' and 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' in particular come to mind. He's just not a good fit for those roles. Seeing him act opposite Gary Oldman or Denzel or Branagh is tough to watch.

Install Don't Fuck with Paste. Thankfully I don't have to use it that often anymore so it stays hidden in the overflow section most of the time, but it's so useful when I need it.
In all but the most simple designs, you’re going to add LOTS of additional information specific to your uarch. For example, you need more bits internally for register remaining. Likewise, you need bits for hazards, synchronization, ordering, etc. Parts of the instruction will likely be dropped (eg, instruction length bits).

It’s more accurate to say that there will be a 1-to-1 relationship between RISC-V instructions and uops, but there’s a push to perform fusion for some instructions, so even that may not actually be true either.
As part of the context, consider that RAND was (in 1950) studying how applicable game theory might be to nuclear deterrence, and in order to effectively run a mixed strategy, one wants to unpredictably[0] swap out pure strategies. Shannon's 1953 machine could be considered an argument that if one is deciding the fate of humanity via mixed strategy, one might wish to access a larger entropy pool than typical human whim[1].

(there is also an idea that making bronze-age military decisions by reading entrails of sacrificed animals may have had some non-placebo effect, less due to currying favour with the god nominally sacrificed to, and more with satisfying Eris by adding to that army's effective entropy pool)

[0] Agassi was infamously able to defeat Becker's serve because he had noticed a strong correlation between tongue position and type of service; one bit of information (wide vs. not-wide) at that level of tennis was a valuable edge.

[1] there are worse mistakes than insufficient entropy for a mixed strategy; one might have a reasonable pure strategy, but fail to publicly commit to it, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLQCwVkhFvM
Price Anchoring: How to Tailor Prices to Play on Consumers' Biases
I think it's more that modern automatic differentiation abstractions weren't well known to researchers. From what I remember, even in the early 2000s when I went to school, backpropagation was basically hand coded.
Not really for a few reasons:

- The API grants you essentially a sublicense to the data, since Answer Overflow is a bot going through the official API and following the ToS properly, that should cover it for any potential issues
- Answer Overflow gets consent from users to use their messages https://docs.answeroverflow.com/user-settings/displaying-mes...
The public never hears about our successes, only our failures.
> Checking overflow for addition on the other hand is something that is very seldom used (on any CPU)

I think a lot of that is due to the popularity of C, and the fact that C has no built-in support for overflow checking. In some alternate timeline in which C had that feature (or a different language which had that feature took C's place), I suspect it would have been used a fair bit more often.

Well C23 finally adds checked arithmetic, in <stdckdint.h>. But, it took until 2023 to do it, what if it had been there 20, 30, 40 years ago? Very little software supports it yet anyway.

And it isn't using the same syntax as standard arithmetic. Instead of `c = a + b`, you have to do `ckd_add(&c, a, b)`. That isn't going to encourage people to use it.

Look at the second example ( red images) and click the Display P3 option.

Do you see the symbol inside? No? Well then your display / monitor isn’t capable of showing a colour range higher than sRGB.

HDR is similar in respect to brightness and contrast.

If your device supports HDR, then there’s more steps in the brightness scale that your monitor can display.
How is it 'quite serious'. Russian governments have made outrageous dictates like this since the before the Soviet era. I would scratch my head more if they didn't announce some nationalistic, chest-pounding, laughably impractical 'initiatives' on a regular basis.
Would it not make more sense for it then to be not allowed at all until there's regulation? Like with bvlos for drones?
So still a 200? Or a 202, 206, 207?
As I understand it Soviet material science was ahead of everyone when it came to titanium alloys in the 60s. Both in the compositions of alloys and in the production of alloys with precise heat treatment.

I guess the US just wanted the best materials.

You are arguing with something that was not said.

Neither the original article nor the person you are replying to said that sales wasn't needed. Indeed, the person you're replying to explicitly said the opposite.

The actual complaint is that they shifted their target audience from engineers to something much broader and fuzzier. The complaint is not that they have salespeople, which they needed in either case. It's that the lack of clarity in who they're selling to and why is making it worse for everybody.

There is something garbled or simply wrong about this story. The US was the first country to produce metallic titanium on an industrial scale. It has more than adequate domestic ores. Titanium is one of the most common metals in the earth's crust; only the conversion from ore to metal is difficult.

Here's a good primer on industrial titanium (see chapter 3):

"Titanium: Past, Present, and Future" from National Academies Press, 1983

https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/1712/titanium-past...

In 1948, based on the Bureau's work, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company built and started production in the world's first titanium sponge production facility. The first commercial titanium from du Pont was melted and processed to sheet by Rem-Cru Titanium and then sold for experimental use to Republic Aviation for the Thunderjet and to North American Aviation for the Sabrejet. Also in 1948, 200 industrial, technical, government, and military leaders met in a Navy-sponsored conference and the titanium industry was off to an enthusiastic start with aircraft designers excited and planning early applications. By 1953, annual production was 2 million pounds, and the Douglas DC-7 flew with titanium nacelles and firewalls. Demand and production grew rapidly. To the aircraft and titanium industries it was euphoria, the first heady upswing in the production curve (Figure 1).

... [by 1958] Military strategy shifted from dependence on manned aircraft to emphasis on missiles, and military demand (then the life-blood of the titanium industry) dropped dramatically and, consequently, so did titanium production and sponge prices.

... The U.S. titanium industry has suffered from these periodic reversals. In the 1950s it was the world leader in both technical know-how and quantitative production but now has lost its early worldwide lead to the Soviet Union and Japan although it continues to meet most domestic titanium needs.

So in the early 1960s it sounds like the US actually had more than adequate titanium production capacity. Why use Soviet titanium instead of domestic for the SR-71? Were they trying to conceal the construction of a new titanium aircraft line from domestic titanium suppliers or other domestic parties?
I think you can do that, there is an informal standard for xml files which can live alongside the media with metadata info. I'm not sure if Jellyfin can create them directly but it can read them. See for example tinymediamanager

I'm not sure Discord knew what it wanted to be. Private for your friends, but not end-to-end encrypted. Chat for streamers with rooms, but not a streaming platform. (They tried. Twitch also tried to make a Discord-like desktop app.)

Now they seem to be leaning into being Slack (notice that you can switch accounts, so your coworkers don't know you're xXxedgygamer69xXx or whatever.)

My takeaway is to always be a little scared about accepting investments. Your investors will make you hire people, who will want to work on something. The end result is a Frankenstein's Monster of a product.

This is actually good, and I am no MAGA hat wearer. There are many bits I take issue with, such as this, as someone who started the pandemic in Texas and "ended" it in Florida:

> Meanwhile, Texas and Florida, which largely remained open and avoided draconian lockdowns, seem to have made out OK

But overall its a good, brief story about how important institutions have largely failed the public with miscommunication, bad decisions, and (in the new's case) shameless bandwagoning to get views.
Do you think Carmack, deep down, wonders why he let himself miss the boat on the LLM revolution? He spent golden years toiling away in Facebook, only to finally announce he was quitting to focus on AGI... only for the world to be taken by storm by transformers, GPT, Midjourney, etc.

If anyone could have been at the forefront of this wave, it could've been him.

And now the landscape has utterly changed and no one is even convinced they need "AGI". Just a continually refined LLM hooked up to tools and other endpoints.
I can add some details, namely that the USofA began development on the SR-71 in 1957 | 1958 at which time the only ilmenite mine in Australia was a relatively low volume affair in Bunbury, Western Australia.

Ilmenite is named after the Ilmenski mountains in Russia where the mineral was first discovered in relatively free abundance, the other principle source for titanium is rutile sands .. typically volume access to rich old sand layers requires strip logging of large areas of old growth forest to then remove acres of overburden to then hoover up a band of sands.

Circa late 1950s if you wanted large volumes of high grade ore your choices were pretty much Russia and ..., err, Russia.

( That or subsidising mineral exploration at scale and developing other sources .. which did happen but over a longer timescale .. meanwhile the first flight of the SR-71 was in 1964 )

There's more on the mining apects at the Geoscience Australia page:

As a kid I was totally obsessed with this plane. As cheesy as it sounds the movie The Right Stuff served as inspiration. I wanted to become someone to fly it. I must have built this model at different scales 15 different times and devoured everything I could learn about the SR-71. Unfortunately I graduated from high school in 1991 and the peace dividend was in full effect. I also found out in college later that my eyesight and color blindness wouldn’t qualify me to fly. So I studied physics instead. As a professional engineer with 30 years of experience it continues to awe me that they were able to build such a machine in 1964.

I would expect you'll see some sophistry like "Linux was created by a Finn, and since Finland is really part of Mother Russia, it's perfectly patriotic to use it". But really, do you actually think they aren't going to use whatever they think they need, regardless of where it came from?
I honestly read that as a sarcastic comment, but maybe that's just my bent.
IEEE 754 specifies not only floating point, but decimal floating point too. You actually find hardware implementations on some systems (notably IBM POWER).

Better to reserve and not finish that to be unprepared.

In any case, decimal floating point is better for MOST programs/programmers and is only inferior in being harder to implement (imo).
I don't think these "No"s are entirely right, though they are directionally right. But there are actually healthy businesses (and healthy divisions within less healthy businesses) out there that do incentive those behaviors, and it's a huge competitive advantage for them.

"Why is A2P bad and why does it make your personal telco fall apart?"

A2P 10DLC requires all senders to provide company/corporate information and register their "campaigns".

Which is to say, when I send a grocery list to my wife, that must be under the auspices of a business case that I have registered with twilio and the carriers and within the confines of a campaign that I have defined with example messages and an opt-out and unsubscribe mechanism.

There is a sole proprietor option which is hazily defined and it is unclear if twilio even understands the implementation of.

All of this to say:

Because of the horrible behavior of both twilio and their customers there is no longer any such thing as programmable, personal messaging.

Personal messaging is something you do with your thumbs, on your physical device and programmable messaging is spam. There is no third classification.

Twilio could have been a boring and useful telco infrastructure company providing plumbing for interesting use-cases - but there's no route to billions there so they had to somehow become a unicorn. That's where the "customer engagement" comes in.
Why couldn't mathematical proofs/models have predicted or revealed this to be the case back then?
I was a twilio customer developer until they instituted a change that demanded to know my personal phone number in order to login to their account. They claimed this was for security, but TOTP doesn't require a phone number. After a meeting with their engineering staff, I realized that they completely screwed up their TOTP implementation and they needed the phone number as the seed. Since I wasn't going to give them my phone number, that brought our customer relationship to an end. They clearly had no idea how to spell the word privacy.

Oh, but the US does not commit fraud. They outsmart. Fraud is only committed by countries that do not dance the tune.
