I was pretty certain that Firefox did already support VA-API with Intel and I did test that with integrated Intel graphics. Maybe this release is more about enabling it by default, or to also support the discrete GPUs?

It's a pity the changelog does not link a more detailed writeup.
Yeah, the way I see it it's the stupid company using brain teasers like these that just burnt a bridge.

> The name of the gene comes from Klotho or Clotho, one of the Moirai, or Fates, in Greek mythology, who spins the thread of human life.

Even protein subunits are getting brand names now.

I guess clinical research into 'klotho' attracts more funding than, say, 7-9-beta-ortho-sonichedgehog-muscarintransferase
An artisan uses artistic techniques and their own intuitive judgement to produce a practical good. Think bakers. No one would be upset that their local bakery was using tools and techniques from a thousand years ago to make their bread. But a carpenter, for example, is a craftsman. He may take an aesthetic pride in the finished result of his work, but it must match all technical specifications and building codes. And the customer would be pretty upset to see them using wood planes and hand saws to frame their house.

Ridiculous claim. Product discovery happens regardless of street advertisement.

It very much is visual pollution.

An apt symmetry, as typically the questions a candidate gets asked during an interview also have no overlap to the questions they would get asked as part of the real job.

The best plotting APIs I have seen are those from MATLAB and Mathematica. I have used Makie a few times, and it is very flexible and well designed.

I am hoping they provide a declarative API that emulates Gadfly more closely. Gadfly is great for simple statistics, sort of a Julia equivalent to ggplot2.

I love the creativity and historical value of the open web, but I don’t get this anti-HTTPS stance. These days, it is easy for site administrators to upgrade to HTTPS without modifying their content.

Get a free certificate from Let’s Encrypt, set up redirects, and then add the Strict-Transport-Security header to further secure the site and reduce network traffic from the redirects.

Your only new external dependency there is Let’s Encrypt, which is run by a non-profit. And if you’re ever unhappy with them, you can always switch to another provider and most people won’t even notice.
So that is circling back to original topic.

The only universal truth when it comes to interviews is that there are no universal truths.

As an interviewee there is nothing you can do that will universally be read as a positive across all interviewers. There are so many contradictory rules among interviewers that you might as well not bother gaming the system and do what you want to do. Let the chips fall as they may.

As an interviewer, no filter you put in place will give you a perfect read on what it's intended to test. For instance I know I have my quirks in terms of things that'll turn me off of a candidate based on resume alone. But I also recognize that many candidates are coached to do it this way in the first place. So I need to be conscious of this and try to not interpret these things as "shitty candidate"

I think that is an efficiency argument. Whether time or knowledge, the resource doesn’t go away. It just gets placed into a more useful direction. The distinction is how the utility is measured. They later point is that sometimes that definition of utility function can sometimes maximize economic measures while turning a blind eye to societal ones. I’d argue the former puts the cart before the horse, I.e., the economy should serve society and not ur other way around

That paper is incredible. It’s crazy that they found 41% of all DN connections receive recurrent feedback from a downstream neuron.

Some things that may be commonplace understanding in the neuroscience community but that I found interesting:

- speculation that deep recurrence in the learning center is a mechanism for working memory, and allows for multiple high-level cognitive processes to occur simultaneously

- the description of how a variety of neurons in the learning center categorize stimuli, a different group controls the learned value of inputs (valence?), and then another group integrates the valences of both the learned and innate neuron groups for the given stimulus category

Oh, and that most of the neurons were engaged in multi-modal activity

Haven't written a lot yet, but planning to!
Sourcegraph only provided non-OSS images and the build process was difficult and broken for a long time, the application itself was frequently broken in OSS version as well, searching issues for a few minutes brings up quite a few results. [1] [2] [3] [4]

It's no wonder, that the usage of OSS version was pretty low, when few were able to build it and even if they managed that, the resulting application was broken every few releases.

Both VS Code and Chromium are easy to build, due to their nature and popularity, they are available prebuilt from many sources. I would install "unofficial" Chromium build from my distribution's repository, I wouldn't keep my code in unofficial Sourcegraph build from some random person on Github. Comparing them is rather unfair, but there's another issue that stopped OSS adoption.

For a long time, official Sourcegraph Docker image came with a 10 seat free license, which suited many people and they weren't looking for alternatives like OSS build.

I would argue that announcing license change and closing of your product as a small block in change log file or when someone mentions the problem in Github Issues is not adequate for such a change.

Not using open-first principles, restricting the product by using enterprise only plugins, which others mentioned under this post, not providing open source builds and changing license without preceding announcement, while previously using open source terminology for some feel-good free marketing leaves a bitter taste. Especially with so many companies doing this right now due to interest rates.

When I'm asking an interviewer questions, I'm trying to get a read on what it's like to work there. Are there any red flags that'd turn me off? Is this a place I'll enjoy working? Do my potential coworkers seem like decent people? Does the work/life balance match what I want to see?

When I'm actually working at a place, I don't need to ask those questions. I already know the answer.

I'd first heard of the air loom from Brooke Gladstone of WNYC's "On the Media", where it features in her graphic, er, non-novel (graphic nonfiction? graphic book?) on the relationship between media and the public:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influencing_Machine_(book)>

The title draws on a 1919 article (originally in German, translated to English in 1933), "On the Origin of the "Influencing Machine" in Schizophrenia" ("Über die Entstehung des „Beeinflussungsapparates“ in der Schizo­phrenie"), by Victor Tausk, which discusses several instances including promiminently that of James Tilly Matthews.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_the_%22Influe...>

What I hadn't realised until reading TFA was the extent to which JTM's incarceration was politically motivated rather than being (fully) justified on mental health grounds. The article is quite the ride.

(Gladstone's book is also a good read, FWIW.)

Gladstone explains the significance in this video short: <https://vimeo.com/23867276>

And "On the Origin of the 'Influencing Machine'" is available in English: <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330285/pdf/184...> (PDF)
I live in NYC and I associate murals with mainly industrials districts. There are plenty of murals everywhere but if I hit a block that's covered in them I think industrial which I don't associate as a bad part of the city.
Linux is an endless source of audiovisual issues and friends that use it join Discord and find their audio/mic is super low bitrate/crackly or simply doesn't work at all, consistently between the various distros that they move to every couple months, flavour of the week, etc.

I haven't gone back to trying linux as desktop since pop_os bricked my Dell XPS (even bios recovery doesn't work, it's completely bricked by some UEFI extension or something that pop rammed onto it).

Before that just getting multiple monitors to work consistently/each in their own specific resolution was an absolute nightmare.

The SD is really what Linux should be targeting: "it just works" but if you want, you can crack it open and change what you want. Linux is mostly still a pain in the butt to get up & running, plug monitors & other devices in and just have the damn thing work.

Let alone all of the _choices_: distro, window manager, audio manager, etc, etc. Nobody _cares_. That's why it's not been year of the Linux desktop yet; you install Windows or you buy a Macbook and you get Windows or MacOS. Try to decide which window manager to use based on the internet's option; you'll find forums & forums like HN of people bitching over which WM is superior etc.

What is Jailbreaking and what is the best example of that.

Jailbreaking is the technique of tweaking the actual behavior of the application or tool.

How I come across this illegal work??
- Few day's back I was finding a chatbots to just chat and refreshing a mood (Also, As I am prompt engineer I am very curious about this things). At that time I have downloaded 10 to 20 apps. But, in one app I found that answers are very natural and AI model is not denying to answer some of the questions.
- Then I searched on the google and found that there is a technique for that and it is jailbreaking technique.

Here is the link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irisai.gptchatai

Are you sure this isn’t just a way for you to crack down on license abuse?
It really is not a bold statement when specifically talking about Cities Skylines. That game would be nothing without its community of modders, it's what kept the game alive. For example, you can only unlock 11% of a map without a mod and even "mod free" playthroughs you'll find on YouTube still have to use a couple of them that don't affect the gameplay.

Sure, there are console players that have no means of installing a mod, but I'd be shocked if even 10% of PC players didn't use at least a couple.
I am very much against advertisements in media. If a service doesn’t come with an ad-free option then I don’t subscribe at all.
I am not as radical when it comes to advertisements in the cities. 100% no to billboards. But if a local restaurant wants to advertise pictures of their dishes at their location (not across the town), that’s fine with me. As long as ads are local to the business, tasteful and in limited size/quantity I’d be ok with that.

You see, you just said that "We just don’t have the tools yet to objectively define beauty" and "Boston City Hall is objectively an awful building" (and holy shit, it really is awful) in the same paragraph! Don't you see the contradiction?

In another comment here, someone said, "I'm not arguing for or against that - I'm just stating a fact (...) I find it extremely ugly."

Hey, "I find it extremely ugly" IS arguing against! There is the contradiction again.

But you see, people are all apologetic because they are afraid of criticizing. The truth of the matter is that tagging, graffiti, murals or whatever you want to call these abominations are made by very poor youngsters who could have access to real art if they wanted (museums, libraries, internet), but they don't because they are brought up in a ghetto culture that basically forbids them from even getting interested in traditional art. And a lot of people cower when they criticize it (or never criticize it at all) because criticizing that garbage is considered politically incorrect. So that so-called "art" is only tolerated thanks to fear of reprisal and should be labeled "fascist art" because that's what it is.

> Again, this is not true. RTE broke both the Ansbacher scandal (where all the rich had offshore accounts) and lots and lots of the planning corruption stories that became all the 90s/00s tribunals.

What?? RTE didn't break that - the Revenue did. RTE had to cover it, because it would have been obvious if they didn't. (And to this day, not one person has been prosecuted over it). All those tribunals came to nothing, and RTE have defended DOB in particular right to the hilt. Ever see the terror on Tubs' face when Denis' name comes up?

They could hardly be more obviously corrupt, and the BAI don't ever say a thing about it.

> Any close relationship existed only in the heads of gullible politicians.

I don't think they'd tell their employees about their deals with the "gullible" politicians who are canny enough to stay in power for the last hundred years.

> This sort of weird accounting is basically everywhere. I hesitate to call it corruption, but it's super problematic.

Bro. When corrupt behaviour is so normalised that you don't even see it as corruption, just 'problematic', that's a sign that your corruption calibrators need a good clean. And they really, really do. That's what I'm trying to tell you, but you seem to disagree even when you agree.

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/rte-scandal-whistleblowe...
I don't see how the distinction adds any value to the conversation. Besides, if you think ugliness is subjective, you should say you consider pixo ugly, not that it is. This whole 'capitalized concept' is sounds very pretentious to me. Pixo is art, you may not like it, but there certainly is technical development built into it and some people find it pleasing or it wouldn't exist. Insisting in keeping it out of some definition of art just seems to me like a way to deride it in a way that you can justify intellectually. I don't like it. I find it very ugly. But I don't feel the need to create some art category it doesn't belong to in order to justify my opinion.
Death by Sznu Sznu :)
I understand your sentiment, but, having been on the other side of the fence, there are a lot of people that apply for jobs they're completely unqualified for, and they end up being most of your candidate pool. (Come to think of it, this would make a decent whiteboard question about reservoir sampling without replacement...)

Another way to think about it is that these interview processes often have a ~ 1% acceptance rate, and the softball questions typically filter 80-90% of candidates.

So, yeah, it sucks for a qualified candidate if they fail half their interviews, but they'll end up getting a job somewhere. That's much better for them than working at a company where 99% of the engineers can't perform basic coding tasks or explain how products in their industry segment are designed.

Matlab and Mathematica are awesome. Gadfly had a great API but suffered greatly from Julia's ttfp problem. Tried makie, looked good but that was around when I left Julia (just because other langs paid). VegaLite is pretty amazing.
Nothing in the GPL says sources must be available to anonymous unauthenticated users. RHEL just requires you to sign in to download the sources, which is making some maintainers grumpy. I don’t believe this is some grand scheme to make maintainers grumpy, they are just curmudgeons.
It really isn't that interesting. Red Hat engineers do great work and have done so for years. That controversy has little to do with the engineers and everything to do with Red Hat corporate.
Simply running a cycle of "ok" quality jpeg compression can completely devastate information encoded at higher frequencies.

Quantization & subsampling do a hell of a job at getting "unwanted" information gone. If a human cannot perceive the watermark, then processes that aggressively approach this threshold of perception will potentially succeed at removing it.
I think that things started to
go downhill when RedHat decided to kill CentOS and invented the CentOS Stream; the killed that.

My guess is IBM and some RedHat people decided to be greedier than than they should and by shutting down access to the RH repositories somehow they think they can squeeze as many companies as possible to pay for Linux.

Terrible how good things are ruined by greed.
