Specifically, the biggest users of video codecs are video streaming websites/services where bitrate, not quality, is king. Logically, their codecs of choice are optimized toward the low bitrate, "sorta acceptable, but I thought I bought a 4K TV?" quality corner.
I'm deeply frustrated at the missing answer here. read the code. figure out what's it for. take out it and see what breaks. software is not a house, you can completely wreck it and set in back exactly the way it was in a second.

there is no excuse for not owning and knowing the software you are supposed to be in control of.
I love this. It would be super cool if I could see other people's worksheets, but the image hosting might be a nightmare
I’m not sure what this page means
It's unfortunate it's not actually going to be Free Software, but being able to at least audit and do non-commercial is... better than Notion, I guess. But I do retract a fair portion of my excitement over the project.

Your "reserved right" to define what a word means to you... puts the work to somehow figure out what you mean onto the reader. This isn't quite nice. The speakers are the ones that should strive to make themselves understood in the first place.

I don't have any love for "open source" since it is just "the part of Free Software that appeases people in suits", but please, use the thing as it is.
With affirmative action gone, that's pretty much exactly what's going to happen.
What are the NFT projects that aren't over-hyped nothings that provide no real world utility?
Ayep. When you're the PLC guy they expect you to know how to fix anything that plugs into a wall but isn't understood by the electricians.
> is the implication here that some disciplines overtly try to stifle understanding by making things harder to grasp?

That's how I read it. IME with social science academics, it's accurate.

> Why would they do that?

To create a mystique of knowledge or superiority; to obfuscate controversial points; to prevent mainstream scrutiny; to exclude outsiders from giving criticism.

There are times where a Big Word is more precise than a smaller, common one, and the Big Word is preferred to writing 20 small words.

Then there are times where a Big Word is not more precise than a smaller, common one, and may even be less precise -- but it's chosen because it limits who can comprehend the work.
In some states in the US, if one party was even 1% at fault (like, for example, being distracted like in the story), they may not even be able to collect damages from the other party.

Our system is really weird.
Same with av1. It's not verbatim vp10, but incorporates concepts developed by xiph.org and Cisco (and whoever else).
Hacker News' paradigm of "blockchain bad - I upvote" to me has been one of the biggest signals that the community is getting stuck in non-productive circle jerks.
Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36779855 - there were 3 submissions with comments so I merged them and re-upped the original submission. (Sorry! someday we'll have karma sharing for such cases.)
Exactly. So why is Google pushing a presser about Apple "not reporting a zero day" when they have a team (Project Zero) dedicated to discovery of zero days? Is it really that Apple employee's responsibility, or is it Google Project Zero employee's responsibility?
Interesting comparison. I wouldn't have compared them together because Pinot is for OLAP use cases and elastic for full text search.
> What does "outside-of-memory" data compression algorithm mean, exactly?

Not RAM or ROM. Buffered from a device: database cluster, disk blocks/files, network packets, serial port, ...

To be complete, going the other way: ..., "in-cache", or "in-register" data compression
I recently had to install whatsapp. No asking for contacts at all. The web app (via a qr code) is ok, and i run that in a vm set up just for wa.
I don't let friends and fam know i have it...I prefer keeping out of dramas, 'news', and memes. I did check that i do not appear as 'x is online' on anyone's phone (but only checked with the person i needed to wa with).
The app isn't bad, tbf. It's just not for me.
Personally I think these days ideally you should be able to just publish in Rec2020 and let devices convert that to their native colorspace. I'd consider AdobeRGB purely legacy thing that doesn't really have relevance these days. Display-P3 makes sense if you are living and targeting exclusively Apple ecosystem, but not much otherwise. ProPhoto is good in itself, but idk if it really makes sense to have separate processing (rgb) colorspace anymore when Rec2020 is already so wide. Of course if you have working ProPhoto workflow then I suppose it doesn't make sense to change it.
A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there
What are some useful web3 projects that presently provide real world utility?
Like Apple photo scanning was basically just for CSAM detection, right?
This is it. This is the pinnacle of terminal experience. It’s all downhill from here.

Perhaps this is the time to quit and become a farmer, so I don’t have to witness the decline.
i think it's perfectly reasonable for them to have used double-quotes for 'chests' because that is a very gaming-specific item (perhaps not minecraft-specific- looks at every dungeon crawler).

however, something being a data structure or not doesn't really matter when 'items' means exactly what you would expect it to mean within minecraft, especially when said item is a book!
It is also in Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=cool-retro-term

I have it installed here and rarely use it (daily driver is urxvt), but it occasionally pops up when a GUI program wants to launch a terminal and by whatever configuration mechanism they use these days prefers cool-retro-term in favor of the urxvt :)
Cal State Fullerton literally offers Persian. They have 9 different course offerings for Persian. My grad school alma mater has 5 and it looks like the availability is pretty sketchy. From a quick look at it you'd actually be better off going to Cal State Fullerton than that particular elite institution if you want to learn Persian. I'm not sure why you think elite institutions aren't also subject to resource constraints for those kinds of classes. Remember schools like that devote most of their massive resources to things other than classroom instruction. They generally have much smaller pools of faculty who are actually teaching undergrads than a big state school will have.

When I was in grad school I missed out on taking a course I really wanted to take because it was offered by 1 professor 1 semester every other year, and I'm fairly confident he taught no other courses. Which is really common at elite universities. If you want to learn a specific subject like that with a truly limited number of professors the best thing to do is target a specific program. But you very rarely need to go to an elite school to get it. If you want to maximize your chances to be able to take whatever course you want you're actually much better going to a massive state school with 10k faculty than an elite school with 1-2k faculty many of whom rarely if ever teach undergrads.
I'd really like to live in the timeline where Valve pushed it anyway and entertained a legal battle against Nintendo to keep emulators on the foreground of gaming.
If you want to write professional python code, read python books and courses. Take algorithms and data structures courses. Take compiler courses if you so choose. Work hard to be the best you can at your work. If you are doing all this, feel free to glance over the first chapter or two of SICP, it's Calculus concepts and esoteric explanations will probably turn you off. If you're foolish enough to continue, don't, it will take over your precious time and learnings you could invest in the newest frameworks and LLMs, which make you into a more productive programmer anyway. If the first chapter of SICP is still echoing in your mind about "procedures as general method" and you daydream about opening and closing parenthesis, then it'll open up your mind to pleasures of programming you never new existed and stay with you forever. Your code could probably improve too, but in a tangential sort of way. SICP is the best programming book i've ever read, and one of the best of any kind.
Yes! We'll probably need to isolate some of the existing components and commit on their api stability so people know they can reuse them safely

That's cool. The article mentions a more common attack I forgot about, someone managing to add a new device to someone's account and get messages on there.
ISIS and neo-nazis can host websites on the public internet. What possible reason is there to host it on minecraft instead of as html on the internet? Or on tor if need be?

This seems really, really stupid. (Except for the actual Minecraft building, which seems quite nice)
I've been out of 1 important drug (with another’s availability being spotty for months now) for a month thanks to these shortages, and I wasn’t supposed to go from the highest dosage down to zero so quickly. This all seems like a major f___up by someone.
Should've been JPEG SX.
The UI for the website reminds me of the app itself. It paints its own canvas and is simplified to the point of adding more confusion.
I agree with that 100%!

My only disagreement was with the conclusion that such remedies should be ordained at this moment to be "always be a topic deserving of special dispensation" since always is a very/infinitely long time.
Are the windows and walls of the said house also made of steel? In that video, why are the armed personnel so obsessed with entering through the door?
So you are saying that laws prohibiting discrimination against trans people are somehow woke tyranny? These lays basically just say that you can't deny someone a job or a house or similar services for being trans. They do not say that you have to "believe" in a persons gender identity. No one is marching you to re-education camps if you don't use the right pronouns. Conservative rhetoric on this subject is so detached from reality.
The 2020 protests were either dangerous or ok depending on where you were and the time of day. Minneapolis had a lot of damage and someone was even burned to death in their store. US insurance costs were over $1B.
Zuckerberg was courting China hard around 2015-ish, to allow them to operate. He learnt mandarin, spoke at Tsinghua University in Beijing, met Xi, etc.

Of course, we don’t know real reasons why they didn’t open there, but end result is that Apple shares data with China and Meta doesn’t.
There is ImageMagick, which last I checked (a year ago?) didn't support KTX, but it did have DDS and a lot of other niche image formats.
I always considered reddit as a "forum as a service". Give up a little freedom and we will take care of your forum for you.

And as such I have to admit I was initially baffled where federation(activity pub) enters into the equation. as forums don't really need federation.

But was stuck in the mental model of the web forum, I think what is going on is that this is more like usenet, the ur forum, which is pretty cool.
taking responsibility for a question? yeah that's ridiculous

as a human being, you're allowed to have discussion on topics in order to flesh them out.
Are there any chemical precursors these drugs all have in common that could have been exhausted by something else that is more important to manufacture?

Alternatively is supply being commandeered somehow?

So much weird stuff is happening with supply chains that it feels like the US is purposefully being squeezed.
Most physical bearers (smart card or similar) of a Qualified Certificate are issued in person or based on a known identity. Here there is no need for remote identification before the issuance of the certificate.

What you are talking about is a “remote signature service”. Such a service will often onboard a user remotely using a physical ID, video and liveliness checks and give them the credentials to produce advanced or qualified electronic signatures with the service in question. These credentials have to meet LoA Substantial or High for a QTSP to be able to issue a QC to a user. Most remote signature services use very short lived certificates (10-15 minutes) that are created for every signature the user produces. (As opposed to the long lived certificates of several years for a physical card).

Germany have to follow the eIDAS-regulation as a member state of the EU/EAA. But what level of signature is needed for what transactions is not regulated in the eIDAS.

About 2/3rds of US adults take at least one prescription medication.
indeed, we are building a code gen framework that is technology agnostic, so we don't want to force writing your code gen processing in a specific language. Text templates make a lot of sense here. One other benefit I see here is that the person writing spec -> code is writing that transformation in the output space, rather than in a language space.

If you already have a different source of truth (like protobufs), then other methods will make more sense. We think CUE is a great language for the source of truth as it has integrations with all the common config formats as well as tech like protobufs and OpenAPI schemas. It's also much nicer to express large amounts of declarative code in.

Anyway, thanks for sharing as well! I found your perspective quite interesting too. I have some desire to see something like JSX for our CUE+templates, but that is still quite unclear and a long-term vision
I see, so it's kinda paving the way for a db-as-a service solution?
It's not, because Free Software handles practical and ethical advantages as an indivisible unit, while open source focus only on promoting practical advantages.

Of course it is applicable. The Docusign users failed to use it in a way that would be legally valid.

With this command “ollama run llama2”, I can run llama2 instantly.

I have been using DDG as the default on all of my browsers for several years. However, there are still searches where I am not finding exactly what I want, and using the !g to perform the same search on Google comes up with better results. I don’t use Google unless I have to, and agree it has been degraded, but the idea that it’s now useless is unrealistic.
The example on their website is pretty neat as well: "When I ask you for code, please just give me the code without any explanation on how it works. Bias towards the most efficient solution."
AFAIK, the Zen4c are full cores, just smaller node size, not big/little per Intel. I'm not sure where the limit will hit on core utilization in most common applications, which are relatively entrenched with legacy code bases.

> - File storage on AWS S3, Google Storage, or Azure

I'm guessing it's just a mistake/miss in this comment, but for file storage it is also possible to store it locally on the server right? Otherwise all "editions" are "in the Cloud" yes or yes, so would kind of defeat the purpose of the self-hosted version.
My company rightfully has a bunch of controls to prevent data leakage through things like company API keys being stored on postman servers. They are effectively removing themselves from this company's workflow.
Verizon still has you say "at verizon, my voice is my password" for their voice authentication over the phone.

At least now a country has to ban Minecraft to ban those books, or force MC to drop its encryption and invent a very obscure Minecraft packet inspection technique that players will more easily circumvent some other way.
>Sadly, my nephew in his early twenties at the time received the vax and was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance with myocarditis, and to this day has follow-up appointments to track his cardiac health.

>Among 192 405 448 persons receiving a total of 354 100 845 mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines during the study period, there were 1991 reports of myocarditis to VAERS and 1626 of these reports met the case definition of myocarditis.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2788346

Myocarditis is one of very few side effects from the vaccine, all of which are vanishingly rare. It's well understood that the vaccine was highly effective in reducing the severity and spread of COVID and is one of the safest vaccines ever produced.

>How well it works: Moderna’s initial Phase 3 clinical data in December 2020 was similar to Pfizer-BioNTech’s—at that point, both vaccines showed about 95% efficacy for prevention of COVID-19. Later data on real-world effectiveness for adults showed that the protection from the mRNA two-dose primary series wanes over time, but booster doses bring the immune system back to robust levels.

You didn't ignore the mob, you ignored the science. You listened to a mob of your choosing, and now you are misinformed and continuing to spread misinformation.
It seems to me more of an artistic/social statement rather than an actual practical resource. And it is an effective one: interesting enough to become somewhat viral, and the architecture itself conveys a strong message.
It may depend on the audience you want to reach.

I've blocked webcrawlers from my websites for years now, so you can't find them on Google (or most other search engines). But plenty of people find them anyway because my audience shares links with each other, puts links on sites that are indexed by search engines, etc.

If I were addressing a more general audience, this might not work as well.
The weirdest thing is that GOOGLE of all companies now wants to make an obviously anti-scraping technology.

You are suddenly switching from Ducusign vs Docuseal to DocuSign vs verbal. That was not point of my reply.
> Dr Pepper tastes like raisin/prunes (caramelized plum if you prefer) + cherry + vanilla + a hint of black pepper way way way off the back end, in that order.

For the young'uns: Mr Pibb used to be this, with more-forward cherry, no hint of pepper, and maybe a little lower acidity. Smoother, cherry-heavy Dr Pepper. I always preferred Dr Pepper, but sometimes Pibb was what I wanted.

Then they turned it into nasty, thick-feeling sugar-syrup so overwhelmingly sweet you can hardly taste anything else (like... two decades ago. "Pibb Xtra").

So if that's all you've ever known and you're like "OMG how is this gross soda a thing?", know that it used to be a lot better.
True, but it's a complete waste if all you need is a single webapp and you're running it on something like Azure anyway which can just run that single Docker image.

In this case you had a potential zero management environment, truly Cloud as it was meant to be, vs. managing Kubernetes, plus a database. You could go with managed Kubernetes (AKS) and a managed SQLServer, but why take on that cost?

Edit: Even AKS isn't truly zero management, you need to do at least some of the work for the upgrades, so instantly more management, something you need to do, something that adds to the operational cost.

That's just progressive decoding, though, and is only possible if you encoded the image correctly (which is optional). You can also do similar things with progressive jpeg, png, and webp, with jpeg being the most flexible.

The unique part AFAIK is that you can order the data blocks however you want, allowing progressive loading that prioritizes more important or higher detailed areas: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/09/using-saliency-in-...

(your thumbnails may or may not look terrible this way, as well. really better suited for progressive loading)
Pretty cool usage of custom MySQL extensions for DDSketch computation and storage, the code doing this will be interesting to read.

Next up: search on MySQL/Vitess? I want it. But not sure it'll work well for sharding.
That would be a welcome future, indeed. And hopefully, not just upheld in some regions of the world, but everywhere where AR-backed AGI gets off the ground. And this governing structure would need to work for some decades at least. Which would be quite a feat.

That still leaves my first question regarding observer effects and how people would respond to such a technology on an individual level. It would have the capacity to reshape behaviour towards preferential and/or optimal interactions, would it not? Seeing how we do not want reinforce models with 'erroneous' interactions?
It's everybody's responsibility to make a safer world.

project zero researches vulns in their competitors and responsibly reports them.
