I would be very interested in seeing what definition of “pattern” this discovery is using.

Most definitions I could find (I am not a mathematician) seems to imply one of: repetition, growth or shirking.

This shape appears to have none of these properties but they still call it a pattern.

It's worse. The germaphobes in Demolition Man seemed tolerant and reasonable compared to today's reality.

I'll second this. And something I've discovered is that using a good pen makes so much difference in the experience of writing.

I used to use whatever cheap ballpoint was around, and I had terrible handwriting. But on a friend's recommendation I tried a fine point gel pen, the Uniball Signo DX 0.38mm. It's such a joy to write with and my handwriting is orders of magnitude more legible.

There's apparently a whole world of pens (and pen enthusiasts) out there: https://www.penaddict.com/top-5-pens
Not only. Also some software for financial sector, for suppliers, for maintenance too.
Basically, anything that do not crash a system could be a feature.
And sometime even have logical and good reason to exists.
Only Windows has this issue. There's nothing about my Mac or my Chromebook that is anything less than immediate. You can quibble about whether the compositor introducing an extra frame of latency was worth the tradeoff, but that is on the margins.
I’m glad that they include pictures of apps that have been made with it. I would appreciate it if there were more sample pictures, but at least there is something included.

Too many GUI and other graphical projects fail to include any images or screenshots, which is poor marketing.
This style would be perfect for visionOS.
Electron is probably the biggest culprit. There are still a few native apps that I use like mIRC, foobar2000 and they always feel very snappy.
From the original reporting in The Debrief:

Associates who vouched for Grusch said his information was highly sensitive, providing evidence that materials from objects of non-human origin are in the possession of highly secret black programs. Although locations, program names, and other specific data remain classified, the Inspector General and intelligence committee staff were provided with these details. Several current members of the recovery program spoke to the Inspector General’s office and corroborated the information Grusch had provided for the classified complaint.

Why not simply demand that Grusch's complaint be declassified? If it is bunk, we have a right to know; the US Government does not have any Constitutional authority to conduct psyops on US citizens. If it is real, we also have a right to know that.

The one thing I am certain of is that the US Government is morally corrupt in keeping either one of these secrets from us (psyop or aliens), and it needs to come clean. We cannot have a democracy if our government is constantly undermining it by keeping us in the dark about anything it chooses to label as a "national security" matter.

Why shouldn't we trust official secrecy? Nearly 78 years ago, a secretive United States Government thrust its civilian population into the nuclear era by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan, killing as many as 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians. The American public had no information about the bomb, no vote on its funding, and no choice about spending decades cowering in bomb shelters and under school desks. If Vladimir Putin did to Ukraine what we actually did to Japan in 1945, the entire world would call it a war crime. Official secrecy prevented any such democratic check from occurring in real time; how do we know that something similar isn't happening today?

RealESRGAN is available as a command line tool you can run on a gaming PC. So you'd build a site that does image uploads and a worker process that upscales the images. That hardest parts are off the shelf open source libraries.

They were physical controls but there was SO many of them and they all felt very cheap that it was its own sense of crappy cheap and likely to break UI.
Not exactly the ask, but a user friendly alternative is HomeKit cameras with a HomePod mini as a hub for local processing. Some can be paired without any app, and once paired you can block internet access at the router level. You can access them through the local network. If you trust apples e2e encryption you can access remotely through the homepod.
I know you probably meant it in jest but as someone who wrote a bunch of desktop apps at one time, it was actually easier to develop desktop apps in tools like Delphi in the 1990s than it is to develop apps now.
As I recall, Oracle on Solaris was able to go direct to the disks and experienced a lot of perf improvements over similar HPUX or Linux machines
Nope. You can turn telemetry off and not see any improvement. Simple reason: your app isn't waiting for telemetry to be sent.
Apps got a lot larger?

Also they added desktop compositing animations.

Opening a command prompt or mspaint is not exactly demanding and opens instantly on modern computers too when all desktop compositing animations are turned off.

Oh man those interest rates must have been amazing! What were they?
Sure, but again. People are buying it because Dacias are the cheapest, and there is nothing cheaper besides some Chinese brands, which have questionable quality, and are not available on very market. My dad has Sandero. He bought it because he cannot afford any other new vehicle. If he could, he would have bought Kia X-ceed, or Toyota Yaris X-Cross or something similar.
Yep. I got a counterfeit product, reviewed it with photos showing it alongside the authentic version and the very obvious differences (like lack of branding). Rejected as "the information we have indicates that the product you received was authentic." This along with receiving so many low quality products that have glowing 4-5 star reviews has destroyed a lot of my trust in Amazon. I now order direct from manufacturers when possible and am deliberate about the items I trust to order from Amazon.
Well, from one perspective, since the requirement is that a tile must be able to tile the plane only irregularly;
- All three-sided shapes can tile the plane regularly,
- All four-sided shapes can tile the plane regularly,

So we know the minimum number of sides is at least five.

Assuming 13 sides is established as the minimum, I suspect there is no 'nice' reason for it; its just that this may be the minimum number to give you sufficient degrees of freedom.
Hi, I'm the creator of Anime.js.
Firstly, thank you for the submission. I honestly didn't anticipate being featured on the homepage of HN without any major update to the library!
To those wondering why the project hasn't been updated recently, it's simply because I've been working on a new version (V4) for the last two years.
The core library has been completely rewritten, I'm currently in the testing and documentation phase and should be ready for release by this summer.

Some of the new features of V4 include:

* Improved performance: The library has been entirely rewritten with performance optimization and low memory usage in mind.

* New ESM Module first API: Import only what you need and benefit from improved tree shaking.

* Better timelines: New options for animation positioning, allowing looping animations in timelines and improved parameters inheritance.

* Additive animations: A new tween composition mode that lets you smoothly blend concurrently running animations.

* Variable framerate: Specify different framerates for each animation or set it globally.

* New callbacks: onTick, onLoop, onRender, etc.

* Value modifiers: A function to modify or alter the behavior of the numerical values of the animated property value before rendering.

* Animate from: Animation from a given value to the current target value.

* Improved documentation: A new design with enhanced animations demos and more in-depth explanations.

* Unit tests

And much more! I can't wait to share it with you!
Windows 2000 was peak Windows, minus security. Security is miles and miles better today.

Nothing will change my mind about this, ever. It's been downhill since then.
If anything, doesn't this demonstrate that Windows lacks a sufficient amount of telemetry? If it was sending home stats about how long it takes to draw these windows, and profiles of what the program was doing, then they could target those and make it faster.
I watched this guy on YouTube for a bit years ago, but he devolved into a culture warrior who seems to live off of hype. I’m also not sure what he does exactly, he worked at Microsoft for awhile but his GitHub is (was at least) completely bare so I think he’s just IT.
I can second this. I have several Axis M1065-LW cameras inside (running on wall plugs and wifi) and several Axis P1447-LE externally (running on PoE).

Would recommend both of them. Notably, I had one exterior camera fail (wouldn’t run off PoE), and the Axis support/RMA process was smooth and fast.
We just rely on layers and layers of cruft. We then demand improvements when things get too bad, but we're only operating on the very top layer where even dramatic improvements and magic are irrelevant.

Windows is especially bad at this due to so much legacy reliance, which is also kind of why people still bother with Windows. Not to claim that Linux or MacOS don't have similar problems (ahem, Catalyst) but it's not as overt.

A lot of the blame gets placed on easy to see things like an Electron app, but really the problem is so substantial that even native apps perform slower, use more resources, and aren't doing a whole lot more than they used to. Windows Terminal is a great example of this.

Combine this with the fact that most teams aren't given the space to actually maintain (because maintaining doesn't result in direct profits), and you've got a winning combination!

For sure, let us understand Chesterton’s fence before we demolish it. A full appreciation for the problem is not the same as making excuses or justifications for it.

With more and more stuff requiring online enrollment and access, getting a decades-old email account with everything in your life attached to, the surface area for potential life disruption is going to be similar to being canceled. We discovered during the pandemic how reliant we actually are on uncaring platforms that will issue a permaban on an account with sometimes no stated cause. This problem, IMHO, is the one big tech regulation that literally every government has been sleeping on. Instead they are focusing on dumb-shit, asinine issues like cookie warnings that (surprise) seem to do very little to actually protect people because nobody has the will, knowledge, or stones to make a regulatory change that actively targets behavior they wish to see eliminated (nonconsensual internet tracking) and would rather focus on a proxy for it (cookies), ultimately causing collateral damage by making a monster out of a core HTTP concept and contributing to banner fatigue through a hellish design-by-government-committee swill of utterly useless regulations. But I digress.

The USPS does not stop delivering mail nor does it revoke your home address if you send or are sent content they deem unfit for delivery (as is the case for many postal services around the world). A meaningful consumer protection would include an expansion into the concept of a “common carrier” to legally mandate a certain classes of online communications providers to not remove access to one’s account (barring an order coming directly from the courts) or they must provide a clear flow to migrate your data to a new email account and forward all messages there for the next N days. In return, they are given expanded safe harbor and indemnification from what the user does on their account.

What I found particularly troubling about twitter banning Trump was that this move of deplatforming was more impactful that literally anything other action taken towards him. Where one stands on the former president is largely irrelevant as this should be concerning because it exposes the elephant-sized lynchpin we have in modern communications: power to silence is heavily consolidated among a small number of players who do not answer and are indifferent to the needs of the general public. To be fair, they are not required to be, and with normal market forces, users are usually empowered to choose where to spend their time, but unfortunately the network effect is more powerful than market forces here resulting in a winner-take-all situation for each major platform subtype.
Probably the anti-caking agents in the normal salt absorb some of the wetness and have it stay clumped up instead of diffusing through the tomato liquid
IP cams are an interesting animal. On one side, very versatile but on the other side a huge waist:

Most IP cameras use 3W just creating a RTSP stream. add another 5W for IR LEDs that come on in the evening.

If i was shopping, i'd look for sensors with very high sensitivity that don't need 5W of IR to get good night images.

I have a few where i've physically disconnected the IR array and the shutter will adapt and still get very good static images and a little bit of smearing when something moves. It all depends of your use case though.
This is an almost comically evil regulatory failure.

"W-we're going to shut down a foreign facility that produces life-saving drugs for Americans because... we don't like the way they keep records. And they evaded our authority! Sorry American cancer patients, gg, better luck next time."

Making generic drugs is a low-margin business and many if not most manufacturing facilities are as bad as that one. See, e.g., https://archive.is/ImWtW

It would be infinitely more rational to simply run batch tests on the chemicals or drugs upon import, when they're introduced into the US drug supply chain. If they're good, they're good. Simple as.
It's cheaper to beef up the hardware than to fine-tune the software. Fine-tuning may be excruciating because it hinders all other activities related to the software development.
You're swapping caking agents and iodine for... a hefty list. (In both cases, less than really makes a difference to human health.)

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

> Some salts mined in Pakistan are not suitable for food or industrial use without purification due to impurities... Although a study of pink salts commercially available in Australia showed Himalayan salt to contain higher levels of a range of elements, including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, aluminum, barium, silicon, and sulfur, and reduced levels of sodium, compared to table salt, the authors concluded that "exceedingly high intake" (a level in excess of the recommended daily salt intake by almost 600%) would be required for the differences to be clinically significant, levels at which any potential nutritional benefit would be outweighed by the risks of elevated sodium consumption such an intake would entail.
It's also a reference to the verb "animated“ in french: "animé".
It's based on a tiling of kites. You combine multiple kites together to create the aperiodic monotile. It just happens that the perimeter of the tile has 13 sides.
It is very fair to point out that synthetic processes often have significant side effects. Biodiesel made from corn is a great example of "right intent, wrong overall effect" (though arguably the goal of biodiesel from corn was always more focused on energy independence than on any environment benefits).

Back to the topic at hand, though. Purely from a climate perspective, does it actually make sense to target lab grown chicken? Chickens are something that can be raised with a much lower carbon footprint than beef.

Are things like an impossible burger simply a better substitute right now? Should we be focused on culturing cells or on "faking" it with plant proteins?

I'm not saying I have answers, and I'm not opposed to lab-grown meat in principle (I think it's damned cool), but it's fair to ask whether or not it makes sense to try to scale up a process that may be worse than "business as usual".

The article also gives very useful feedback on scaling things up, as well. It's pretty damned interesting.

> 8. Train an LLM on Xc and it's accuracy on judging Y entailed by Xp is random.

This is clearly where the "proof" falls apart. Even in tasks where GPT4 struggles, it's accuracy will still be better than random. The bar of "better than random" is so low that even weak LLMs will be able to surpass it.

More so, you need to prove not just a single, but that no task/domain exists for which LLMs satisfy 8.

What your proof says is basically "LLMs do not generalize even the slightest for any task". And that's trivial to disprove.
The study may be good, but the headline and the obvious slant of the article are as unscientific as you can get. Pop science journalism is abysmal, and this is a good example of it.
I don't get where these takes are coming from. Deep sea submersibles are not some revolutionary thing nobody has done before. There's no brave, glorious exploration here. There's already a large body of knowledge and expertise on how to dive that deep and stay safe while doing so. If you ignore all of it and try to go with some hacked-together thing that everyone told you is dangerous because cost cutting and YOLO, you're not a pioneer, you're just a fool.
Sad stuff. One of those affected will be my 6 year old nephew. Poor kid is already 83lbs. He drinks nothing but sprite and juice.

And it’s causing problems in the relationship my wife and I have with him and his mother.

Whenever we go out to dinner with my SIL and nephew, my own son tries to order Sprite to drink after he hears his cousin order it.

Of course he’s only allowed to drink water so it caused a ruckus the first few times it happened. My SIL said that kids need to “live a little” and that’s why he’s allowed to drink 2+ liters of soda each and everyday.
I used windows 2000 for many, many years. Pretty sure until 7 came out.
Take a look at https://openipc.org/ and choose a camera from their supported list.
The reliable bug behavior is an underappreciated point and can be hard to understand. I work on software that gets deployed on-prem by customers and had very powerful capabilities for deploying your own code to it etc. There have been a few discussions about some bug fixes and in particular security fixes being appropriate in a patch release when following SemVer. Something might be unintentional or insecure, but customers might be building on the broken behavior and now deploying a patch breaks their apps. The line can become quite blurry.
Thanks, you're going to love V4.
Just because there's an app available doesn't necessarily mean it's required. It might be that other solutions just haven't been typed out in their docs.

I've recently worked with some of D-Links consumer IP cameras, DCS-8302LH and DCS-8000LHV2. They offer an app and optionally cloud storage but they ship with ONVIF support. No web interface afaik, but what I found was that I just needed to start interacting through ONVIF to get going with a local-only setup (this would automatically disconnect the camera from the app as well).

These cameras are some of the cheapest available, but they have been solid.
My brother in christ, you are are a casual, and there's nothing wrong with that, but leave the serious gaming for the hardcore players.
My great grandmother was a housewife in the 50s so that would include things like a "salad" made of mayo and nuts on a banana or a jello dish full of tuna.
This. You're putting yourself at the mercy of these companies, and they have no mercy.
Also, about 3 tons of TNT equivalent energy was released (for that Argentinian submarine collapse), so there's nothing left to search for except shards and debris. No evidence of what specifically and how has failed, no bodies, likely no "black box".

To add to this: search the catalog of whatever access control / electronic security wholesaler is local to your country. Almost all stock IP CCTV cameras and peripherals, and it's an easy way to get an idea of what manufacturers produce the cameras you need. Panasonic and Hikvision cameras are also quite good for a more reasonable price than Axis, but I'd agree with the above poster that they are the gold standard in IP CCTV.

My wish: framework developers give up on cross-platform. Write a framework tightly integrated with macOS or Windows or whatever OS you love. Once you do that, many of the concerns the author described become much easier to tackle.

The article specifically mentions Rust which does have Mac and Windows bindings. That’s necessary, but not sufficient. Where is the macOS or Windows Rust framework that makes writing fast, safe, beautiful apps in Rust the best and easiest choice?
