so you express x (the simple polynomial) as ln(2^(x/ln2)? or as an infinite series expansion?

I think you have it backwards. I think anybody who is remotely interested in this topic would love for proof of aliens to come out. It's just such an extraordinary claim, that their skepticism demands extraordinary proof. Eyewitness reports and low-res grainy videos are just never going to be enough, no matter who they come from. And that's how it should be. If there is real proof of aliens, it will be on the front page of every newspaper in the world, because it would be the most important discovery of all human history. It will be corroborated with physical evidence that has been examined by multiple experts and professionals. Until that happens, most people are going to be skeptical, and rightly so.
When they first released the CIA psychic documents I clicked a few at random and my impressions were much different. The papers I read were very much "We're conducting this experiment on remote viewing. Here are our procedures and results."
This comment makes it seem like the video does not contain rational arguments. It very much does. If you're skeptical about them, why not address them.
Guarantee it's below average at most outsourcing firms. They may play games like advertising a position as a "junior engineer" but require 10 years of experience and then bill clients for a senior engineer but, knowing the billing rates for several vendors, there's absolutely no way they pay market rates.
Plex is explicitly trying to move away from being associated with piracy, so that won’t ever happen.

But what you’re looking for already exists - search for “seedbox” on Reddit.
It's not just cross-platform programs that suck. Applications moving to gtk4 from gtk3 add an extra 100-200ms of startup latency every time because of OpenGL initialization and shader compilation (there is currently no cache), varying a lot depending on your CPU. Applications that used to open instantly now have have a noticeable pause, even if it's still short compared to the worst Windows applications. It's been reported multiple times for well over a year now and no improvements have been made.
Do you have any additional examples of webpages that fail to be readable for you (math-related or otherwise)? I work on an accessibility tool for web developers, and would like to see if we are detecting those bad cases correctly.
Yeah, and as is usually the case, it's not Preview in particular doing it. Preview itself does almost nothing, it's just a wrapper around the standard file handling libraries that everything on the platform uses.

So this is just a normal thing you can do in nearly any context that any image is displayed anywhere on macos/ios. Not only no external site required, but not even any particular application required.
I am not sure how that has anything to do with what I posted.
Some day people will realize that intelligent automaton is an oxymoron. Something designed and built will always operate on rails devised by their creator. Intelligence means the ability of being the creator.

Interestingly, genesis myths usually say god(s) made humans in their image. It's a metaphor for reproduction. We create intelligent beings all the time.
>I heard some guy saying they were actually demons, which I found quite funny/entertaining. Supposedly these aliens smell like sulfur badly. Maybe aliens/demons are the same thing? I guess we're gonna need the Doom Slayer.

Plex "just works" until it doesn't. The further away from the desktop you get the less reliable Plex becomes. In the browser it's flawless. On smartphone and tablet native apps I get maybe a one to five percent rate of not being able to see the server despite the fact I'm logged into it on the same device's browser. On embedded devices like smart TVs and streaming sticks Plex is a stinking pile of shit of an app. It's laggy, it crashes incessantly when you do something like skip forward after skipping back, and it constantly fails to see the server running on the same LAN as the device. This happens across android TV, Roku, Chromestick, and Firestick. It happens across different locations, routers, and ISPs. Plex is high on my list of "things I use because there isn't anything better but I still hope their developers stub their little toe every day of their lives".
> you can use it everywhere and know that keys are assigned the same way regardless of which software stack is generating a particular key.

But even if you follow the standard to a tee, you cannot infer anything about how the last 62 bits were assigned. That is my point!
Oh sure, I can justify this easy.

Labour productivity vs wages doubled since the 1970s and the trend seems to be continuing. It was about 150% in 2000 so we can use Excel as as the benchmark.

This means that an accountant today can wait for Excel to load for 2 whole hours of their 8 hour shift, and still be as productive as an accountant from 20 years ago!

Isn't that amazing! Technology is so cool, and our metrics for defining economic success are incredible.
How big is your bladder?
I'm the co-founder of a fantasy sports game, so I've come to know the real money side of gaming somewhat intimately. As much as people scoff at the money component in a game...it leads to hyper engaged users. Our folks are incredibly stick and while it's a small cohort, it's a positive sign. They're spending over an hour playing everyday, which I'm proud of.

I think if you're building a traditional game (with no money component), you have to go into as a labor of love. You're competing for attention among a _vast_ canvas of alternatives. That is so hard to do.

My dream is to one day build a command and conquer successor. That market is tiny and the whole genre has pretty much moved on. The people who'd want to play it are millennials like me. I'd need to completely alter my motivations and expectations going into it.

I think as more people are wide eyed about this, we'll see less of the "punch in the gut" stories like these.
VFX is hugely outsourced so you need to unionize globally (especially India, Eastern Europe, etc) for it to work.

I read your comment while perched on a stool next to my kitchen island. The city stares at me in the background while I glance back at the city from time to time.

I used to live in one of the "austere glass boxes" you speak of that is pictured on the cover of Douglas Coupland's City of Glass. I live a couple blocks down the street now.

FWIW that intro cube is not implemented with their engine. It's just 4 video embeds animated with plain CSS 3D transforms, so performance should depend entirely on browser optimization on your device.
I may have had that one; there was southeast asian writing on a sign and it was Malaysia.
Is this really the way forward? I'm pretty sure implementing CSS from scratch (just looking at the specs) would take the average developer at least 10,000 hours. But in any case, why doesn't the container query bind to a class? Having to name your container is so weird (we already have names: they're called classes; and IDs; and DOM elements; and pseudo-classes; and aria labels; we need more!?).

.special-wrapper {
--theme: dark;
container-name: stats;
}

@container stats style(--theme: dark) {
.stat {
/* Add the dark styles. */
}
}

Not to mention that half the problems in the blog post are completely manufactured:

> That works fine, but if there is a space character within the <figcaption> element, it will fail.

Uh, yeah, that's how :empty works (it's not "empty"). If that's such a pain point, I'd propose a :no-children-but-maybe-empty pseudo-class before you add a completely new feature to the language, :but-maybe-that's-just-me.

/* Instead of.. */
html[dir="rtl"] .button-icon {
transform: scaleX(-1);
}

/* We do this */
@container state(dir: rtl) {
.button-icon {
transform: scaleX(-1);
}
}

"‘It is the best thing ever, I think,’ says Frank Gehry of Le Corbusier's Notre-Dame du Haut.

That's one of Le Corbusier's stranger buildings, but it's very Frank Gehry. Gehry, of course, did that Dr. Seuss knockoff at MIT.[1] Le Corbusier is better known for his very rectangular buildings. Innovative at the time, they're now seen as brutalism. Especially as the finishes wear down and those big flat surfaces dull.

Unlike Mies van der Rohe, the maximalist of simple forms, Le Corbusier liked to add decorative curved features here and there. Today, those look silly.

Today, with enough computer power, really silly looking large buildings are possible. See Shanghai.

Just feels crazy to read about it a month ago and see it today, you know?
Because many Americans simultaneously believe in paying your own way and egalitarianism. Direct cash transfers as an anti-poverty measure are unpopular. In kind transfers and low income discounts appeal to egalitarianism. We Americans also treat driving as a de facto right. Driving is considered something that must be provided and the cost figured out later (a dignity not a price).
That’s totally legitimate, and working from “the office” is a potential solution. An alternate is to work from “an office”. That doesn’t need to be the right solution for you specifically, but I hope it becomes part of the evoked set in general.

If you or some subset of your workforce has a suboptimal home situation, look at arranging individual coworking spaces. Everyone can shorten their commute by picking whichever space is conveniently located. You also sidestep the challenges of having some team members collocates while others are remote.
Have you actually watched his video on the Gimbal craft? I thought that was a big piece of evidence myself, went into his video at the recommendation of someone here on HN with heavy skepticism, and came out sufficiently convinced it was not actually a UFO. He's also classy with his debunkings. To me that's a big bonus. Other YouTubers whose niche is debunking things seem to love being snarky, sarcastic, and condescending. Doesn't make his points any more/less valid though.
I don't think it's surprising in all this debate about free speech on the internet over the last few years, a lot of the 'anti-free-speech' enforcers that Americans complain about are immigrants. To be frank, some of them like Vijaya at Twitter and Sundar Pichai at Google have expressed views on free speech (not the legal concept... the social one) that rightfully shock most Americans. And yet, when I've asked other H1B holders about how they view 'free speech rights' (A very basic American value) many of them seem to agree that their ought to be legal limits on non-threatening political speech! Most are shocked to learn the United States has no laws against shocking the public conscience (which are common in Asia and Europe).

Being a second-generation immigrant of Indian-American parents myself, I see how different the H1Bs are compared to my own family. My family left India because we were mistreated. Now, the very people that mistreated them are coming here and bringing their regressive values with them. We value the rights we have in this country because they were denied to us in the old country. We honestly need less skilled migration, or if we do have skilled migration, we need to show that those skilled migrants are from a class that is being oppressed in their own country. The last thing we need are high-status foreigners with the means and social capital to bring their own foreign values. Better to have poorer immigrants, like my own family, who adapt to the culture. Moreover, those who fled their own country don't need to be re-terrorized here.

So many times my dad has been told to basically go to hell by other Indian immigrants because we're not the right caste. Once we had a wife of coworkers pretend to feel ill just speaking to my mother because of the caste difference; in professional environments! Hearing white people speak about all these things in the abstract is one thing. Having them actually play out is another. To come to this country, you should have to prove that you were not a racist, casteist nutjob in your own country. And realistically, many Indians are going to fail that test.
Plex never worked for me. The autotagging was frequently wrong, their version of libass has been years out of date FOR years (did they ever update it since the mid-00’s VLC version?), and it kept trying to lossily transcode videos that it couldn’t handle (such as WMV7) and failing hard when it didn’t. I’ve replaced it with VLC+SMB and am way happier.
I had a negative opinion of Le Corbusier because he is associated with failed high-rise public housing projects and the kind of disasters that happen in a Ballard novel but when I saw things he designed I liked a lot of them.

A reverse proxy is another good way to handle those. The proxy trusts the self-signed certificate and itself has a valid certificate from a CA the clients trust (either public or private). This way setup on the integrator's product is easy and client's aren't exposed to "hard to verify" certificates.
Yup I agree, plus right now it seems to be people that love internet drama.Drama of defederating and federating. I think to some people it's like a highschool clique that they get to run and it's just so hard to give a fuck about
I studied Civ Eng at uni (poly. really) and engineering in the UK uses SI units exclusively except when we don't! Miles and mph and pints are largely the main leftovers. A yard is nearly a metre so that survives too and is conveniently made up of three feet and they are around 30cm, which is a short ruler. An inch is 2 1/2 cm and is roughly the size of your thumb to the first joint. The pound is a small half kilo. Spirits were metricated decades ago (25ml = 1 measure or "single", I think there is a 35ml measure for lower alc. spirits) and so were wine measures (125ml and 250ml).

Farenheit is no longer a thing these days here. I remember people talking about temps into the "100s" eg when Wimbledon was on and it was a proper scorcher. Have not heard that in at least 10 years, probably closer to 20. Ironically enough we have had a lot of record breaking temps in the last 10 years, across a record of about 150 years of decent data.

I'd love to see you pour a pint to five decimal places! Our Weights and Measures Act of ??? used to be pretty draconian and so was enforcement but that seems to have slipped somewhat. Our pint glass has a mark next to a crown (and an EU marking!) and the beer must hit it - you don't have to allow for the shape of the meniscus but a German used to having a decent "Feltwebel" (a nickname for the head on a beer - Sgt Major) is going to get into trouble! We also have special pint glasses with a longer section above the rib to allow for a larger head but still allow the pint mark to be met. I haven't seen those for a while.

I note you mention schooners and the like in AUS (and why on earth do you have a different pint size - it doesn't really matter) and that basically proves my point about routine odd units still in use, everywhere. We all have our little peccadilloes ...
I don't get all the comments of people saying that JellyFin doesn't "just work".

Yep, search for "direct lab testing" and you'll find some vendors, and possibly some local clinics.

But the thing with ordering your own tests is that it is not the only way to get these results. You can simply ask a doctor. They'll order it and help you understand the results and insurance can cover it. Depending on your insurance, that might be cheaper or it might not. There are pros and cons to both approaches mostly centered around how self-driven you want your care to be and whether or not you have a cooperative doctor.

But I would add a general word of warning - raw lab results do need some broader understanding of what the expected results are. They'll typically tell you what numbers are too low/high, but will not tell you what it means if you are outside those limits. For some things, being a slight bit out of the norms is a big deal. For others, unless you are at a few multiples beyond the limits, there is northing to fret over. Knowing which is which is critical to know how to react to test results.

I'm not saying you've gotta work with doctors - I'm saying that they do have a point that self-educated and self-diagnosed patients who learn the info off the internet are not always well-informed. If you are going to go the self-directed route for your health care, take the time to learn deeply and do it well.

I recently had a random observation.

My folks own a cottage 1.5h away from smack middle of Toronto (I drive it often)

We call it a cottage because it has no running water, no broadband, overhead electricity lines that literally gets knocked out during bad storms.

All of our neighbors are in the same boat. Thousands of southern rural Ontarians live like this.

The difference is that they live this way full year round.

We are so behind as a country in infrastructure that it's not even funny.

To be developing those rural land you talk about will probably cost $100B over three decades at the rate we build things.

I'm not hopeful.
I agree. Modern stuff is childish at times.. and old stuff when slightly drifting tended to go toward poetry.

Same (including that I am not one of those people who block JavaScript on the web; hell: I don't even use an ad blocker), though a few times a year I do run into a service that both explicitly provides a text/plain segment (so the mechanism that would just try to give me the text from the html segment isn't used) that is useless (missing links, doesn't have a text form of some code, etc.) and I have to open the code of the email to find the link; this is easily, however, solved in the email client and does not require activating either images or javascript/html.

The diving in Five Fathoms Marine Park is exquisite, and it’s a short drive from Lion’s Head, which has absolutely stellar rock climbing.[1] We’ve taken the kids on the ferry to Manitoulin Island[2], and from there driven over to Sudbury.

thinking that the person I was responding to was suggesting the DoD may have funded the terrorists (a "conspiracy" is a secret plan to do something unlawful).
