To be fair, almost none of that is free market capitalism, or requires it. To me, you're implying democracy, rule of law, contract law, freedom of association, or free markets require capitalism. I don't see why this would be the case, just because we happened to package all those together doesn't mean they all necessitate one an other.

Getting rid of capitalism also wouldn't require getting rid of the concept of private property. Capitalism is simply the concept that wealth can generate revenue through investment. It's a way of allocating money by way of a ruling class of the most wealthy. This isn't the only way, or in my opinion the best way, to decide what resources are allocated where.

I think coops, nonprofits, and even open source software all show the limits to capitalism. They are examples of people rejecting capitalism in order to persue higher goals than the ever increasing profit margins capitalism demands. I think our economic system should reward them.
It's about what is necessary for DEMOCRACY to work well. I don't care what provides a higher ROI to some rich owner-class people, I care about a society that represents its people.
Yes, certainly. That’s why I did reply without quoting 99% of the original post.

Your arithmetic is off.
It is informed, by both the endless precedents set by Facebook/meta and large corporations in general.
I'm sure it is, but the accounts are clearly linked. I've heard from several people that Threads recommended them to follow friends who hadn't signed up for Threads.
I think I have a solution against coning!

Each AV will be equipped with a person that will prevent the unicornification or removes the cone after-the-fact.

I do wonder if those cones act as a reusable catalyst, once the car goes in failure mode, you just remove the cone and use it again.

Anyway, there is something more revolutionary than an AV. It’s called not driving. It requires working from home, or decent public transport. Or it requires walkable/bikeable cities. Unfortunately this really solves actual issues but it isn’t as sexy from a technological standpoint I guess.
Ditto. ECS/Fargate has always been the easiest, most flexible, most useful containerization solution. It's the one AWS service with the most value to containerized services, and the least appreciated.
*state public university systems.

Take away state funding, make it a business objective to capture students, add a abstraction of student loans and direct federal funding, and of course tuition increases.
Stop accepting things that suck. If your...toilet requires you to hold the handle, fix that thing. If your digital life is a mess, organize that shit.

Charge times are a factor for me. I may drive less than 50 miles a day (within range that even a plug in hybrid could have enough range) but since I live in an apartment, I can only trickle charge from the 120v outlet in my unit’s garage. I cannot install a new higher voltage outlet and doubt my landlord would front that cost.

Being able to confidently drive a few days without charging and not be constrained by my local limited fast charging infrastructure to be able to make longer trips on the weekends out of town is probably the biggest reason I have “range anxiety”. There are 4 charger stations in my rural town. I would have to drive at least 30 miles to find another 4. That and still having a few years paying off my current vehicle left are holding off my EV purchase for a while.

The Japanese talk only of extinction of the pure Japan, which is on the face of it a racist policy. Not a real strong point in the argument. Japan will persist, with a normal mix of people from around the world creating a new culture that they want. Not something frozen in time that the octogenarians of Japan worship and cling onto.

Hehe, this is also why I was confused!

And yeah, knowing more context now, I agree re parenting. Just feels like common sense that one needs to treat all social media as at least as bad/unsuitable as a British tabloid.
I think it's also important to consider that the sharing of creative works is also not so boolean. Works don't always fall into neat categories of "100% publicly published to the world" or "100% completely private and irrelevant to anyone". There's a lot of grey area in the middle.

Hello kernel-level anti cheat developers :)
This is just a reformulation of the mirracle of aggregation.

And it will fail exactly the same way, the moment there is some secret information available, those with the additional information will outperform the group.
The "it's actually already there" effect is usually either one of two things: either poor communication, or poor rollout of actual support amongst apps. Both of those are hindered by a slow standardisation process. And I do wonder what makes you think global shortcuts are a long-tail feature: they're extremely commonly used! And app support is 100% key: it doesn't matter if wayland supports something if the apps don't actually use it!
I suppose it would count as harassment, but that's because it'd be done to a person. I don't think it's possible to harass a computer program. If we ignore the harassment side of it, then I don't know what law it breaks, if the object can be trivially removed by the driver.
Surely you understand how emotionally invested in the success of VR he is right? Palmer wants "Ready Player One" to happen even though that would mean most people live in squalor and their only escape is some highly financialized "virtual world". Most normal people don't want that.
If you want, you can get all of that math at any Top500 university, even in undergrad. I agree that people will be having impact and deploying these models without that understanding, but you don't need to be at Stanford to gain that understanding and it's something desirable if you want to do research instead of deployment.
It was Wigner who speculated that consciousness causes collapse. But Neils Bohr had a Kantian approach to science, so he did think it mattered how our minds understood the world, and what we can and can't say about physical formalisms.

Arvist (Techstars 2022) is hiring ML/Back end Developers and Consultants
The Backend/ML Engineer role brings Arvist’s customer value together by combining streams from RTSP protocols with ML to create reportable data using real-time feed via ML models and mathematical analysis (geometry, algebra, and classic programming). ML models are only one tool used to detect anomalies, and must be used in conjunction with mathematics and potentially consecutive ML models to define thresholds, distances, and events (observations, reports, etc.) within Arvist’s infrastructure. These processes help partners customize and define processes within a worker facility to create a digital twin system. Customers define which regions of an IP camera are processed by specific ML models and workflows to reduce redundancy and mismarked observations. Customers can define interval and schedule based tasks in a generalizable way (via celery beat) to control how often a workflow is run on specific cameras (fps) and if it is only run during certain operating hours (for fine-grained control of operations). A primary goal for Arvist is for any workflow we create for customers to be generalizable to any camera with independent scheduling and regions within its related camera(s).

Scope (Backend):
Python HTTP API’s (FastAPI)
Python Task Management (Celery + Celery Beat)
Asynchronous Programming
Postgres (asyncpg)
Processing RTSP frames (open-cv)

Scope (ML - Image Segmentation, Image Classification, and Object Detection):
Hugging Face Transformers Pipeline (for hybrid on-prem/cloud models)
AWS Sagemaker Inference or Google AI Platform (for cloud-only models)
Developing a range of computer vision based models with fast turnaround time
Processing and refining datasets for creating generalizable and accurate ml models
Experience utilizing geometry, classical programming, and vision-based mathematics to produce reports and observations for customers that hold value or non-obvious insight. This means utilizing a deployed model within our backend service (FastAPI, Celery, and Celery Beat) to bridge model inference with insightful behavior.

Other Tools:
Local Dev Tools
Docker (and Docker Compose)
Git (Github)
GNU Make
Redis (will be nice for cacheable results like seeing how objects moved without contacting a database)

Examples and Upcoming Work:
How long was a worker inside a room?
Where did the pallet at 11:00UTC get dropped off at? What room did it end? Did it ship successfully? Was the digitized process aligned with what the managers intended?
Was a semi parked longer than initially estimated? Did someone forget about it?
Detecting spills in rooms, what time was it cleaned up?
Between the hours of 19 and 6, was anyone detected not wearing an authorized jacket (yellow vest)
Were any pallets left outside their designated stacking zone?
Sure, if the government implements regulation to dissuade non-self-driving car ownership then car ownership will decrease. But that's entirely tangential. If the government decides taking cars away from poor people to reduce accidents is worthwhile they could do that tomorrow.
Yes, it seems plausible. It was also funded in large part by the Saudis, American banks, and other wealthy individuals who are all strongly incentivized to hinder activist communication networks. Now everyone who used Twitter has to re-form their networks elsewhere. Mission accomplished. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/28/saudis-kingdom-hol...
I think this entire comment thread is using the wrong definition of the word "quantized". There are two relevant meanings of this word

1. Something split up into discrete chunks (like integers vs real numbers)

2. Something which acts quantum mechanically (i.e. with superposition and entanglement and all that stuff)

In this context "space-time is also quantized" means space-time is acting like a quantum system.

Whether space-time is discrete or continuous is a wholly seperate question. There is no particular evidence that it is discrete, but if you make the discretization scale small enough it theoretically could be. Most things work more nicely if it is continuous though.
So the easier solution then since the government is effectively already paying for anyone who doesn't pay back their loan (a dead person for example) then is to just pay for everyone's college education (Public Universities).
You can pretty much ignore mostly anyone most of the time who screeches at you to use triple equals (strict equality comparison) instead of regular ol' "==" (abstract equality comparison). It's one of modern programming's dumbest, least well-founded memes, resulting in such brilliant advice as insisting during code review that

typeof(foo) == 'string'

be changed to

typeof(foo) === 'string'

because the latter is "safer". Anyone saying—anyone—this is guaranteed not to know what the hell they're talking about—and shouldn't be in a position where they're pretending that they do. It's unjustifiable and pure cargo cultism.

You don't need to be pro or anti anything. With security, 95% doesn't get you there. Trusting a corporation doesn't get you there. You need transparency across the full stack, not just assurances from a private entity that isn't necessarily aligned with your interests. On top of that, there is plenty of precedent of corporations lying or doing a poor job with security and privacy.

Unless you are inexperienced or new to the field, you should have no excuse to not be aware of the endless examples over the last couple decades. Sneering at people doesn't make you correct.
As a novice, I was surprised how easy it was to get the basics working with plain old libvirt (on my M1 at least).
Probably what you said in your first sentence. At the time of manufacture, Z-80 CPU was the standard for controllers like that. In 2023, your first design pass would probably be an STM32 for real time control and possibly a PC as a UI, or a tablet if the UI needed to be portable.

STM32 for real time control and a Linux SoM for GUI/database is a pretty common pattern used for industrial control these days.
It’s funny as it seems totally arbitrary and I’ve spoke with people who completely ignore cover letters. Or sometimes the application system strips them off.

As an applicant it’s hard to know the preference of the reviewer so that makes it harder. But I think that, for me, I just sort of accept that there’s much wasted effort in applying to jobs. Looking for work is a job, so spending 1-2 hours per application is work that must be done, even if some of it never gets seen.

I wrote a cover letter for the job I’m in now. I never asked my manager if she read it or if it influenced her decision. But I’ll probably write one next time.

Same goes for thank you notes. Hard to know if they work. But it doesn’t hurt, other than the labor involved in writing.

Yeah it's great with JS, and I use it for most dynamic things I do with SVG. I'd still stick with SMIL for little animated icons that would be deployed multiple places and other little problems like that.

Good point.
Demystifying venture capital term sheets: everything founders need to know
cargo-semver-checks is not dependent on whether code paths are used, because it doesn't analyze from the "use" side. It analyzes from the "what API is exposed" side.

You can think of cargo-semver-checks as an automated way to answer a series of queries like "are there any public functions that existed in the previous version and don't exist in the new version?" Any results produced by any of those queries are examples of breaking changes.

This is why our "more than 1 in 6" study found so many previously-unreported semver violations — in our study we were able to find issues in all sorts of dark corners of library APIs, then generate programs specifically designed to rely on the affected behavior in a way that works fine in one API version and causes a compilation error in the subsequent (non-major) version.
What people are complaining about when they voice these sorts of concerns goes back to the concept of essential vs accidental complexity proposed by Fred Brooks. The issue is not that adding accidental, inessential complexity to software is somehow a sin. The problem is that someone will have to wrangle this extra complexity. Enterprises can just throw bodies at the problem, creating drudgery. The warning is against producing pointless, boring work.
> These vehicles are relatively more expensive.

Yeah, until this gets fixed, I'm not buying an EV. I ran the numbers and after 10 years of ownership and almost 200k miles, the cost of a brand-new ICE car + 10 years of gasoline + maintenance is still less than the cost of a Model 3.

To be fair there are cheaper EVs than Teslas, but then you start looking at losing out seriously on things like range...and they're still more expensive than just buying another ICE car, just not as much more expensive.

Plus, like many people, I live in a rural area and don't have a garage. Not sure what I'd do about home charging, and I don't want to think about it, to be honest. Going to be some $$$ involved, no doubt.
You’re thinking of Planck scale which is just a mathematical abstraction not some physical thing we’ve observed.
> ... it strikes me how much of a "period piece" the comment is...

Ha. I mean, I got a free CD, which itself dates the story. But even more old-timey? That Citi card I referenced above was actually an AT&T Universal Card. The "Universal" was because it was also a calling card! On the back was a separate number I could use to place calls from a payphone, at cheaper rates than dropping coins into it.

It's been many years since the card had that feature, but the branding relationship must be strong, because it's still called that, and my card still sports an AT&T logo on the front.

Not entirely. It is possible to see posts from people you're not following. I'm not sure how Mastodon does it exactly (I'm not on Mastodon, but the Fediverse is more than just Mastodon), but I think it also has a tab where you can see other content. In the end, if any user on a server follows the poster, the post will end up on that server, and it's up to the server to decide who gets to see it, which could be everybody.
Show HN: The full source code and assets for my custom game engine and game
I always enjoy reading posts about indie game development and looking at the source code of games other people have built. So for any game I release I naturally I want to do the same.

https://github.com/Mknsri/HockeySlam

Hockey Slam is a hockey shootout game on Android which I built almost from scratch. Some of the engine features include 3D graphics with PBR materials, a rudimentary physics system, replays, a multithreaded job system and a hot-reload DLL platform for developing on Windows.

I detailed the creation of the game in it's own post, but now that time has passed I am releasing the source code and assets under the MIT license. You can still find the making of here: https://hockeyslam.com/makingof

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
> But, you the author wanting to prevent your book from being copied is a _harm_ to society.

I take issue with this. You are not harmed just because you don't have free access to something you want. Refusing to buy your kids some candy does not "harm" them.

Using this definition of "harm", you having money in your savings account is a "harm" to "society". Using your logic, the government then ought to force you to donate all your savings and excess possessions to "society" so that harm is reduced.
My understanding is that the issue there was that they were simultaneously sharing those MP3s, as they were downloading them. Which is to say, I think the person you're responding to is correct about the difference between sharing and downloading, but I'm not a lawyer.
The "Julia that can compile" characterization is misleading, because Julia is based on LLVM-backed compilation (a Julia interpreter exists as a user package, however it's used only for debugging). I'd restate that as "Julia without the power of run-time on-demand compilation". Although your point was probably more in the direction of "Julia but it's trivial to get it statically compiled".
First, thank you for responding.

I’m not saying there’s anything special about our mind, it’s just a function of our mind.

And is it misinterpretation or is it my interpretation that you disagree with?

How can one rationalize the fact that a photon can be a wave and a particle at the same time?

I do not believe, for example, that the moon exist, only because I look at it. I think it exists in a probabilistic state in that probabilistic state turns to certainty when I look at it. But that is only my certainty. How do I share my mind’s interpretation of what the moon looks like with someone else? Exactly? I can’t, it’s impossible. The moon both exist, and does not exist at the same time. And what I mean it does not exist. I mean it does not exist in any sense of certainty. Hence the moon is a wave function. The fact that my brain in your brain can collapse the way function in an apparent 100% similarity provides no proof that the moon exists in a single state outside of our own minds.

> What value would that provide (than make-work for a couple of software engineers)?

In the lingo, business continuity and risk management. When, not if but when, the current system fails, there is high chance of it being unrecoverable. Even if it were technically recoverable, can they find someone to do that work? How long will the factory stand still while the system is being recovered or replaced? In general it is more cost-effective to replace things before they fail rather than after the fact. Doubly so in these sort of cases where using the old system (in working state!) as a reference would most likely be beneficial.

I'm a veteran, and a couple of years ago I requested a copy of my service record from the US government. The set of medals listed in that was completely different from what it said on my DD214, and both were completely different from what I received in real life. Even if you were able to get that record, I would be very skeptical about using it as any kind of ground truth.
> Makes sense when you have student loans backed by the federal government.

Everyone says that, but I've not seen much actual evidence.

I tried to find evidence, by looking for tuitions of various major universities over time and seeing if there was any clear difference in the tuition growth rates before Federal loans and after.

I know the data is available. Most schools list tuition in their catalog, and have their old catalogs in their library, but it wasn't turning up in. Google searches.

I was only able to find historical data for Stanford, giving tuition by decade, and one big state school whose name I don't remember. Here's a graph of log10(Stanford_tution) over time [1]. I don't have a copy of the graph for the other school but recall it was similar. It looks like it has been growing about the same for a century.

I also remember comparing tuition rate increases to inflation, and found that tuition has grown pretty consistently at roughly 2x inflation both before and after Federal backed loans.
