It'd be cool indeed, but it's a humongous task :)

One of the reasons I showed the Surface Go 2 tablet is because it is running the Microsoft out-of-the-box experience. So... I'd expect 1. for it to behave nicely and 2. for Microsoft to have profiled and optimized this. It is true that Windows 10 (the version that originally shipped with it) behaved better, but not by much. In any case, the Surface Go 3 is a contemporary computer with Windows 11 and people quote it as only being 15% faster than the Go 2, so it's not going to be substantially better than what I showed.

Apple has traditionally fared better in this regard. In general, any new computer model they launch runs the contemporary OS version perfectly well, even if the newer OS does more stuff.

I also question whether all of the "extra stuff we do today" is valuable though... but the answer will depend on who you ask.
Norway should have at the same time made a tax for expatriating wealth, to make capital flight very expensive.

I appreciate SpaceX's mission and purpose as much as anyone, but definitely they do not have a perfect track record either, with the recent environmental disaster accompanying the 4/20 launch. Somehow it was decided to launch on an underdeveloped platform which strew debris and dust far in excess of what could be considered "responsible engineering" considering what we've known since the Saturn V. Having said that, I'd ride in a SpaceX vehicle while I have yet to ride in a Tesla, and for many of the same reasons.
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Anyone maintaining their own backups as a cost-savings strategy must have found a much more efficient way to do it than I have. Plus value their time at $0/hr. And/or are doing it in a way that's guaranteed to lose much of their data at least once in their lifetime.

I doubt enough people were still using this that it'll make much difference in iCloud profits even if all of them who weren't already paying for iCloud, start.
I don't think "pervasive digital surveillance is bad" is an unpopular opinion here.

Do you have any sources explaining this so called 'wind'?
As the person that you replied, I confirm your perception. And I liked your suggestion (to be point I decided to explicitly thank you, rather than a simple upvote). If I were to write the same comment now, I would definitely use “contrast that to…”
They're not meaningfully different from the perspective of the programmer. You call a malloc-like function and get some memory back. The total dynamic memory use of the application is simply capped. You can do this even with libc malloc in a standards compliant way (e.g. Broadcom used to ship a malloc implemented as a series of pool allocators over statically initialized arenas), it's just uncommon.
> Mind you, never did I expect or even care if I made money. That was never the goal. But now I realize just to get some people to play my game would be a huge undertaking requiring tons of luck - just to rise above the noise. That was the deal breaker - I don't care about making money - but I do care about eventual players, at least if something will take months or years* to create.

I broadly agree but I think you're being too pessimistic about not having players. If your game is not novel (or maybe even if it is), I'm sure you can find a community that would enjoy it. Maybe participating in that community counts as marketing to you but I feel like sharing what you have created and marketing what you have created are separate.

Reddit is a good place for this type of discovery. Discords of other niche games in similar/adjacent genres would be another one. I feel like it's not as hopeless as you make it seem!
Why is that annoying? I think it's great that you actually need to craft your unique password and can't just copypaste a solution.

> Dellanna, a management advisor and author, points out that Norway collected about $1.46 billion on its wealth tax in 2019. But the exodus of the wealthy will result in an estimated $594 million in lost revenue.

This is the tricky part of "just raise it a few percent" for these wealthy entities. It seems a small increase won't make a large difference". But if they go from 2% to 2.5%, for instance, but there is a country, somewhere which, has a 2.1% tax, they'd all start feeling. So, in some ideal situation, when we consider only one particular country in a vacuum, it should work. But, it's a lot tricker when there are other countries to consider. Even more interesting, other countries could specifically target these wealthy entities by lowering their wealth tax to 2.4%. That's not unheard of with US states and companies: if one state raise their taxes, some state might start courting companies headquartered in that first state and promising tax cuts if they move their headquarters.

You can always define angles in turns. But the problem is that it conflicts with the definition cos(x) = Re{e^(ix)}. Trig is not so easily separated from the rest of mathematics.
It's few enough users right now that I can cover the couple bucks per month in server costs. If more people start to use it, I'll make it paid (either upfront or subscription, not sure yet), but I'll grandfather all existing users as free.
Agreed. Many implications. If technology is reverse-engineered in secret while government funded and then patented to a private corporation, is this not theft from the people if they try to sell it for profit? Security threats are a concern as well, civilians are not allowed to possess weaponry more powerful than what the military has, etc.
Is it a ‘richcession’? Or a ‘rolling recession’? Or maybe no recession at all?
It was way more than $20k, but I didn’t do it for the cost savings. If I remember right, the panels are warranted for 20 years and are supposed to last at least 25, and I think the batteries are guaranteed for 10 years.

The batteries are so expensive that they pretty much throw cost savings out the window, but it’s very nice having the added resilience to power outages, as well as knowing we can run the A/C and charge the car (especially at night) without causing our local utility to burn more coal.

I’m not under any delusions that my solar panels are going to save the world, but at the same time I think it’s important that we all do what we can while we expend our efforts in other ways too (voting, petitioning local governments and utilities to allow and incentivize more solar, etc.) that will have a much bigger effect if successful. I also like setting an example for the people around me. Since adding solar, we’ve had several neighbors and family members ask about it, and two so far have added solar themselves. I of course don’t know, but I like to think I may have at least nudged them in the right direction when they decided to add solar to their own houses.
Depending on the carbon footprint of the food you eat to power that bicycle the effective MPG may actually be quite poor. A e-bike has lower emissions than a cyclist powered by lentils.

Well people have been leaking claims for decades (since roswell) so perhaps they haven't kept it secret but it didn't matter because no one believed it anyway.
I see your point though I think you're overstating it. TBH I think the nutrition facts label works reasonably well, and balances sufficiency with market flexibility.
I think given enough recovery time you can get back to your previous state or better. It's important not to set unrealistic expectations that could lead to burn out. There's both a physical and emotional trauma aspect to this, I think you need therapy for both.

For physical trauma related to the brain, it's hard to say what is most effective. Typically, good nutrition and exercise seems to help--there's a body of research on this that I encourage you to look up.

Secondly, don't worry about how you used to be. I would rather just focus on the future and what you can do with your current state. If all else fails, there's solace (perhaps) in knowing that intelligence isn't necessarily required for success--to me it appears to be more a combination of luck and charm (kind of joking here).

Lastly, don't let your perceived loss become a self-limiting factor.

There's nothing automated that produces reliably good results with a variety of content currently.

I've tried

https://waifu2x.org <- specifically for animated stuff

Given the similarity of the results of some of these, I'd guess they're using the same model with some input parameter tweaks.

Waifu2x is probably the closest to "reliable" if you're looking to enlarge some sort of animated content.
We have this attitude regarding materials which is pretty close to “innocent until proven guilty” but the fact of the matter is that all you can know about any novel material is whether or not it kills you quickly.

I think we either need to appreciate that the industrial world is poisoned and take that as the cost of doing business OR stop poisoning ourselves at the cost of substantial technological progress.
Of course the ERCOT political appointees put out a release [1] blaming the wind, when the problem was the fossil fuel sources.

Why there was a projected supply shortage:

1. Expected: low wind production (as is normal on a summer day)

2. Unexpected: "...The problem is that they only expect 4.0 GW of thermal to be offline (see Typical planned and unplanned outages, thermal). FYI, thermal includes, gas, coal, and nuclear.

According to ERCOT, 12 GW of thermal ("dispatchable") is offline today." – quote from thread: https://twitter.com/AndrewDessler/status/1546528816272654337

> But Hollywood is largely unionized. VFX is a glaring exception.

And, in fact, this one of the reasons why VFX gets so heavily overused for stuff that you could do in-camera.

Is the actor wearing the wrong pants? Well, reshooting that requires paying union actors, gaffers, camera operators, etc. to shoot it again. Fixing it in post means you pay a couple of ununionized VFX artists.
I have been learning how to season, cook with, and clean cast iron. As someone who did not grow up using it it’s definitely not intuitive. The other challenge is that I either have to lock it away or teach everyone else in the household how to care for it. At various points in my life I’ve had coatings ruined by roommates, partners, guests, and housekeepers who did things that seemed perfectly sensible like letting it soak in soapy water.

It's similar to how my partner has a stainless steel pan that I avoid using because I have not had the bandwidth to internalize the right ratio of heat, time, and oil to cook things on it without burning/sticking, whereas they have no issue with it. It's a good reminder not to take internalized skill for granted.
It depends what the OC was envisioning as their game. Not every game requires a "large number of other people".

So libertarians sometimes forget that a democracy is the will of the people. Now this can be ignored some, but when you push the "You can do whatever you want whenever you want because freedom" eventually you'll find that the average voter has happily decided to implement authoritarianism and the libertarian type is now the first with their back against the wall.

There is no such thing as absolute freedom, everything is a choice of how much authority one submits to and allows to control ones life. I hope it is a reasonable amount, because as it tilts too far one way or the other chaos ensues and death follows.
An important skill is reading between the lines, and recognizing libertarian dog whistles. Freedom to them = freedom from government regulating business. Freedom to me = freedom from worrying about businesses poisoning me and my family.
Germany, actually ;-)

We chose wood fibre because we wanted the house's CO2 footprint to be as low as possible. We are slightly above passive house levels in terms of ongoing energy use (mostly because the house has an inefficient shape = not a cube) and we produce more kw/h from solar power each year than we use despite having a relatively inefficient electricity-based heating system. But we also wanted to reduce the CO2 emitted during construction and cement/concrete is really bad in that regard.

The wood fibre insulation has a fraction of the embodied energy/CO2 emissions of concrete and fossil fuel based insulation and it is fully compostable. I could theoretically also be reused if the house is demolished at some point, as it doesn't deteriorate if it stays dry (or is allowed to dry quickly after getting wet), though I think that would be unlikely to happen. Also, wood fibre is an excellent insulator against heat, which is nice given that our summers can get quite hot.

The wood-only construction also eliminates all thermal bridges, as wood is itself an insulator and the required fasteners are small diameter and do not reach through the entire wall.
They did not say if those wonderful visas can be in time converted to permanent residence. Hopefully they would let them apply for permanent residence from inside the country while being on work permit.
CSAM AI articles have just popped up.
I think it depends on what they're doing. If they're doing animation (which includes moving elements in live-action footage) and mostly checking the quality of motion, they might get away with proxy renders. But anyone doing critical color or compositing I would think need to do local renders on a calibrated system, and then commit the work to a remote render farm for consistency and accessibility by other team members.
8 Reasons Why Design Is Dead (and How We Can Revive It)
All the people here claiming new types of drones and secret programs dating back decades have clearly never worked in defense. Most of the US military, the best funded in the world, is decades behind the private sector on computing technology -- it's honestly unthinkable to me that their propulsion technology would be decades (or centuries) ahead. The best engineers and scientists have taken Silicon Valley jobs paying 5-10x more since the late 90's.

And why are we acting like this is a new phenomenon? It's been going on since at least the 1940's, when there should be little doubt that we didn't have technology to explain it.

While I've never seen anything personally, and my anecdote is meaningless to others, I have a family story dating back to ~1969-1970 that either means a bunch of sane family members are completely nuts, or that (in their case, a classic silver "flying saucer") are real, prevalent, and not things that can be prosaically explained.

Ask HN: Is anyone else having trouble with economist.com?
In the past few weeks I've started getting randomly logged out on both my iPhone X (safari) and Macbook (firefox+ublock). Tech support appears to be giving me the run-around (reset your password, "send a picture of the issue") and has repeatedly suggested that I just install the app.

I've become increasingly disappointed with the Economist digital services - I intend for it to be a calm, insightful news source, but instead it serves me flashing ads, has started pushing video and audio content, and every so often I have to re-confirm that I don't want it to sell my personal information. I just had to go through a multi-page user retention maze to unsubscribe. These are bizarre moves for a subscriber-based business that relies on trust.

Most people in this thread blaming Disney are massively overlooking Ratatouille which came out after Disney took over Pixar. The main woman in the film is allowed to have a big nose instead of a button nose, and she also doesn't have the stupidly large "Pixar mom" hips that have become prevalent in animated films from a lot of production companies. I would love to see more female characters like Colette in animated film. And that's just aesthetic things about character design. Ratatouille is one of the most re-watchable films they made. The perspective of seeing the world from a rat's POV is inventive, the score is pleasant, the concept is fun, and the message is soulful.
CV is your life's work (all of it). It tends to get longer as you live. Résumé is a summary. It typically is one or two pages[1], and can omit anything not deemed relevant to the recipient.

[1] Sidebar: Every bit of résumé advice is "fighting words", with diehard adherents on opposing sides. In this instance, "1 page" can be taken as "What have they been doing with their life? Discard it.", while "2 page" can be taken as "Wasting my time. Discard it.". The most successful strategy is hard to achieve: know the personal pet-peeves of the recipient, and adjust accordingly.

yep. MIDI is great for a keyboard/piano interface with velocity, pitch bends and a sustain pedal, maybe some filter modulation if you're feeling frisky. But using it for guitars and orchestras? Use the right keyswitch note to change the articulation, use a different keyswitch to pick the "right" note (since many instruments e.g. guitars have multiple notes that play a C3), maybe the actual notes themselves don't make a sound but instead shape a chord that can be strummed by a separate strum trigger note. Oh and the dynamics of the sound might be controlled by a CC, which shows up in Kontakt if you're lucky and requires looking at the manual if you're not. Oh yeah and none of this is standardized, so a Spitfire orchestra library's keyswitch controls are entirely different from EastWest. Fun.

Sounds like MIDI 2.0 will help with some of this, at least.
