There are many different "reverse rendering" algorithms being worked on. In essence, they take 2D photos as inputs, and try to figure out the 3D scene that they could have been taken from.

It's an absolutely fascinating area of computer graphics research and huge progress has been made over just the last few years.

Most approaches I've seen have just throw computer power at the problem (neural rendering), use brute-force traditional approaches like various point-cloud fitting algorithms, or use a clever trick like NVIDIA's differentiable 3D hash table.

This approach is in some ways the most naive, but that's what makes it so fast and so good! They literally just fit blurry blobs to the input data. The blobs can be rotated and stretched, so they can be used to model long thin lines or large flat surfaces. That's... pretty much it! There's some cleverness with using blobs of different sizes and splitting/merging them for efficiency, etc... but the point is that this simple method blows most of the others out of the water.
Not unprecedented. The city didn't surpass their 1940 population until 2000. The population of Manhattan peaked around 1910.
UK: Why is cheap renewable electricity so expensive?
Well yeah almost everybody does on their first attempts. NASA tends to be an exception, but making sure you don't blow up the first time turns out to be way slower than just trying to launch and seeing what goes wrong.
The big unique selling point of MOD/XM/S3M is that it is essentially "open source" music. You can exactly see what the artist does and how it is done as well as access all used samples.
Where will they find people willing to continue working on vim's code base

the same place where neovim found its developers. if one group of people can organize themselves to maintain and develop their version of vim. so can another. i don't know how many contributors vim has, but i am sure they can figure out how to move forward. finding new leadership can be difficult when there is no clear candidate, but if the contributors had not wanted to work on vim they would not have been there in the first place.

MK area. I wish we had gigabit speeds available.
I'm using Neovide for now, which seems to be gathering momentum, but I still miss MacVim. I had a fair few crashes with VimR that ruled it out for me.
I had a real problem reading this. Luckily reader mode seemed to work fine and stripped all the style from the document.
The popular licenses for which this is a design concern are careful to define source code to mean "preferred form of the work for making modifications" or similar.
The average house hold income in Manhattan based on a quick Google is also about $150k.

Making the annual rent of $60k about 40% of one's household income.

In urban planning I heard that a fair rent refers to onee spending 30% of their income on rent.

So I guess it isn't that bad.

As far as rewinders, he has a huge collection of VHS cassettes and VHS decks, but they are all getting old, have already had a long usage when they get to him, and VHS is not a precise medium so not great condition in many cases. The part that usually fails is the motor, and so you have the rewinder to save the motor on the VHS deck. However, the rewinders are also usually low quality and old, and so what happens a lot is that the latches that hold them closed while the rewind fail because they were not great quality plastic (either in composition or design accuracy) that have been subjected to a lot of rattle during their lifetimes and then they break, and it is cheaper/more convenient/fairly environmentally friendly to buy them from thrift stores for ~$3 than to order a ‘new’ $20 one from Amazon/eBay.

Now, this of course leads to a lot more lines of questioning, but I think the answer of ‘because they don’t sign autographs’ is probably sufficient especially since this answer amuses me and is likely to be unseen.
You totally can, but we are talking about Google Translate here, how it mislabels scripts as languages and how it doesn’t support a major language (for what is likely political reasons).
Perhaps the state shouldn't be in the business of telling consenting adults what services they can buy or sell to each other provided they're not harming others.

I tried switching recently, mainly because I wanted treesitter. I couldn’t get it working after half a day messing about, a lot of documentation seemed out of date, and I don’t think my standard plugins + .vimrc worked out of the box. My main focus is getting things done, not fiddling with configs and versions, so I gave up. I figure I’ll try again in a couple of years if it’s still tempting.
This is a cool idea, and you seem genuine. One thing I'm not clear about is how you achieve the claimed privacy. You said the user id data is separated from the user voice data and can't be matched. But you also say that if I delete my account it will delete all the voice data. How do you do this unless there is a mapping from the users table to the voice notes table?

A lot of Guardian readers excoriate the Daily Mail as low quality clickbait and "not journalism", whilst seeming perfectly content to suckle from the teats of the Guardian's own clickbait farm, presumably comforting themselves that there is some sort of intellectual honesty present in the Guardian that is missing from the Daily Mail. I find it quite strange.
well, as i mentioned i have had it print several thousand lines of code very recently without these kinds of issues, so perhaps this reflects some calivinistic fate on your part
While working in an environment where VPN connections were pretty much all blocked⁰ a friend of mine had success using https://guacamole.apache.org/ to access a remote machine¹. Not quite the same as a direct VPN connection but worth a try if nothing else functions, it looks enough like normal HTTPS traffic that he got away with it.

To keep your wireguard setup more as-is, you could try https://kirill888.github.io/notes/wireguard-via-websocket/ to tunnel that via a web server. In fact https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel which that uses could be used just as well with any other UDP based VPN.

I once tinkered with https://github.com/yarrick/iodine and successfully connected to resources over the wireless on a train, bypassing its traffic capture and sign-up requirement, so that might be an option, though I think fully blocking external DNS is more common now so this is less likely to work²³.

Luxe Lifestyle was a recently-formed company with no staff. It was awarded £25 to buy protective equipment for Covid.

The very next day, on April 29, DHSC bought another 200 million face masks, this time contracting to pay £252.5 million to Ayanda Capital, a Tory party-linked firm also bumped into the VIP lane despite having no previous PPE experience. It is an investment company specialising in currency trading, offshore property and private equity.

To this day, no-one has been charged with any crime.

> On the other hand, vim and neovim are almost the same thing, and wherever they diverge, it is always to the detriment of vim.

They are quite different at this point and personally I prefer vim over neovim. I've never gotten NeoVim to work satisfactorily. I've had issues with the async setup where the backend and frontend start having issues with each other or lag. So on. Personally I find vim to be a lot simpler to work with and MacVim in particular to just be a perfect GUI for me.

Of course YMMV. The point being is that there are a many of us that prefer normal Vim over the NeoVim work. That's okay. Its also okay that others prefer NeoVim over Vim. There is nothing wrong with that. What there is something wrong with is the way that many NeoVim people are reacting to this.
Not that I'm an expert in any case--and I do serious video editing so seldom that I've always forgotten everything by the next time I need to do it--but FCP always clocked with me a lot better than Premiere for some reason even though I use Adobe for still photos.

There already are a lot of mYsql comparisons; I think that was why the GP asked for an mSsql comparison.
Do you have 5G by chance? Have never really looked up 5G speeds until now, so I personally was suprised by what I found, but apparently the speeds can often be anywhere from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, so anywhere in that ballpark or possibly lower could be true.

> The theoretical maximum speeds of 5G are pretty groundbreaking — but we have a very long way to go before you’re likely to hit that kind of peak speed in the real world, regardless of your connected device. Depending on your 5G coverage, maximum download speeds *often* range from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, and latency, or the time it takes to send data, could go as low as 1 millisecond (ms). [1]

No problems here just the test. See what kind of response we get for known work arounds so we can bring out a more comprehensive blocking program in the future.

If you're in Canada, you can't even get consent, you cannot monitor your staff. Supreme court ruling is what it is.

I had a collegue recently tell me how he was monitoring employees and 1 of the staff was working from home, but in reality watching porn all day.

Despite an HR derpartment, for some reason they required him to be the one who fired the person. Bizarre... infosec people should never be firing people. They did it because he ought to have known what he was doing was illegal.
I’ve become somewhat of an opposite-hoarder over the last few years. In 2015 I threw away most of my things during a move across country, keeping only sentimental/irreplaceable things in an effort to “upgrade” the more utility focused items I owned for the new living situation. Then 3 months later I lost literally all of my possessions as a result of a freak accident. Since then I’ve found it really hard to approach physical possessions with any amount of commitment or feelings of permanence - everything feels extremely temporary. I throw things out all the time, sometimes very impulsively, sometimes to almost immediately regret it.
I challenge you to spend a day searching with Bing or DDG and then come back with the same opinion.
It's a inherit effect of TCP congestion control. TCP slow start and Window Scaling.
> That 0.17nm/s² is tiny, but it really adds up over half a million years.

True. But we don’t have half a million years to make an observation. 0.17nm/s² over a year only adds up to a displacement of 85 km, and now we’re looking for a relatively small discrepancy in this expected movement? The radius of the sun is about 696000 km, for comparison.
> Inertia.

At some point I tried to switch and some setting broke in my config (mouse mode?) I forget what it was. It took me another 3-4 years before I tried again.
I am not sure how you reconcile some of the philosophical differences between the projects. One of the first objectives of NeoVIM was to dump code for obsolete computing platforms. A ton of legacy code was deliberately removed so as to streamline the project.

If I recall correctly, one of the reasons the original async patch was ostensibly rejected was because it would rely on a C89(?) compiler. That was considered too disruptive a change that would make Vim accessible on fewer platforms.
I recently switched ISPs and went from something like 100mbs to 500mbs but because of how the new ISP peers some sites are actually slower now.

Though the main ones I use now I can upload at 1000mbs so not going to complain too loud.
.INI files have always been cool.

Because you may have enabled that. I just tried this and it gave me an option to enable the feature to include surrounding text for better context or something.

I’m genuinely curious about the economics of the southern European coffee shop. The machines are quite expensive $20,000-$30,000+ (+- $5,000 - $10,000) and so for just 1€ plus they have to eat, potentially pay employees, etc. how viable are these shops?

On the other hand I think that the fact that such cafes exist and seem to work well speaks to walkability and proper transit as a cornerstone of entrepreneurship. In America you basically have to start a Starbucks drive through to get enough volume, or you have to charge $2.65 or something for a single because of a lack of volume.

Proper density (not Manhattan, moreso Amsterdam) and walkability seem to me to drive economic growth and encourage new businesses that don’t need to raise rounds of funding.

That sounds exactly like a well acted boating accident.

My angle is that simple brain wallets that use a combination of a memorable phrase with some individual information, like the user’s name, birthdate, address and a 4 digit PIN, used as salt, are then extremely secure. And your paper and the original comment I responded to don’t emphasize that it’s the user’s use of such an systen that makes them vulnerable not the foundation of the technique of brainwallets.

Basically you’re blaming the car for the drivers not understanding how to drive and immediately crashing.

Nothing like having a lottery of 2-6 years of support for your hardware to make your customers confident they are getting value out of the products they are buying.

> AI

Careful with those words.

People are increasingly confusing LLMs with AI, and even further, you seem to be identifying AI as if it were made of LLMs.

I had to spell it out even yesterday: AI is the automation of problem solving, focused on reliably giving good solutions to definite problems.

If LLMs use technologies developed for AI, this does not make them AI.

I think fast.com hits netflix's cache server. Pretty much all isps have one provided to them by netflix.
Oh that's awesome actually.
It’s actually quite a hard problem to limit a fast physical connection to a slower speed for a burst - so much so that some tests are much easier with an old 10/100 hub.

What’s nice is when you pay for a certain speed and they give you more if nobody’s using the excess. That’s more rare now but still can be encountered, especially on upload.

I’d argue this is a radically off-base generalization that’s as bad or worse than what you’re arguing against. Pop outside your tech bubble and you’ll see that what you claimed is definitively not true. In fact, many people actually see tech today, especially things like LLMs / AI, in the same ways that Parliament person did back then.
