So much this. Some years ago I was deep in the post-processing rabbit hole (and printing - thanks, Nick Brandt) and at one point after spending like 5 hours in PS I thought “why the hell am I doing this?” and never looked back. There’s something very freeing about giving yourself over to your materials, framing, and exposure, and being delighted by the results even if they aren’t exactly what you expect. Digital post is like Ansel Adams level darkroom work, and I just don’t enjoy being so exacting.
We don't natively support templating strings, but since it's rendered by React, you can always add that when integrating Puck.

However you can use an adaptor if you need to pull data in via a third party API: https://github.com/measuredco/puck/tree/main/packages/adapto...
More proof that the Moscow-based disinformation campaign continues to work despite more people actually paying attention to what Russia is actually doing. Wikileaks played an important role in exposing mistakes and malfeasance by the US government - but it's worth noting that Assange is not WikiLeaks - and has often been at odds with them. Currently, he is nothing more than a sock-puppet for authoritarian right voices.
Hey everyone! Here is an app I've been working on over the past couple years for my own purposes. The original idea came from me wanting to collect RGB-D scans for research and development purposes. One option being to buy a depth camera and use that, but I figured I might as well just use the time-of-flight sensor on my phone.

The app has been on the App Store for a while and I originally wrote about it here https://keke.dev/blog/2021/03/10/Stray-Scanner.html. The app can be downloaded here for free https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stray-scanner/id1557051662.

Over the years, tons of users from all over the world have reached out to me asking for the source code, feature requests or adapting it in some way. The users are usually computer vision researchers at universities or corporate research labs or they are engineers working on commercial projects.

Sometimes the requested changes don't make sense for other users. Sometimes they do, but I don't have the time to develop them.

I've just now decided to just release the source code so that people can hack it to do whatever they want with it. Hopefully people will find it useful and that some people might contribute changes back to the app and it becomes more useful for others as well.
Keep in mind that very often, the person interpreting as a hard requirement, and the on showing it's not, are different people. There's a lot of cargo culting going on, especially on twitter.

This has only gotten worse since twitter started paying out on engagement.
This might be a better example, actually: https://github.com/measuredco/puck/tree/main/packages/adapto...

There are services and residences that accomodate those needs, and they pay the workers that satisfy them commensurately and they cost more.
This is also a key point to fighting ewaste and making devices last longer. I have appliances from the 70s including a rotary telephone, that I still use regularly. If you combined mandatory OSS support with repair cafes, you would have a model for sustainable reuse and better security. You may even start a commercial aftermarket in reflashing older devices!
2.5G and 3G networks were bad at the time, and many phone plans that included data had unlimited data. The only thing that kept them up was the fact that so few people had data-capable smart phones.
Kazakhstan actually tried a government mandated CA certificate. It's causing constant "you are being watched" notifications on phones that loaded the certificate. Certificate security was increased in Andeoid and other opeeating systemsm exactly because of this threat.

Every OS except Android receives regular CA updates, including them various Linuxes. Android devices are still trusting known bad actors like Startcom exactly because there's no way to update just the CA store (and cheap Chinese brands definitely won't release full system updates for this after dropping support a year after the phone came out).

You can disable the toggle for every system CA in your phone's settings if you want. That is, unless you think the big bad UK government bugged your phone to hide the CA that's been planted there, but if that's part of your threat model, the government certificate may be hidden on your phone already

I won't speak for Europeans, I lived there for a few years but not long enough to understand their system deeply enough.

I agree though, removing subsidies would destroy many of the farms that exist today. It's a prime example of the risks of welfare programs, they are presumably all run with very good intentions but in this case the industry is so wholly dependent on the subsidies that we can't remove them. The problem there is a broken system can only be propped up so many times, and the more you pile on top of it the worse it is when it finally collapses.

Hopefully people wiser than me can orchestrate a soft landing here, because I can't personally see how we safely transition our food industry off the centralized, subsidized model.

When creating a starter kit, one must choose defaults. Choosing the default emacs defaults is still a choice.

What is the simpler choice? Choosing the defaults that are built-in already, or the defaults new users will expect?
Microsoft Pascal was a two-pass compiler. It was slower to compile than Turbo Pascal and that pissed off Bill Gates when he realized than Turbo was the most successful.
I agree that these gig-businesses cannot be relied on for emergencies, but within the 4 hours did you consider simultaneously using another delivery service? I would imagine that if you had access to Instacart, you would have access to other services like Uber delivery, Postmates, etc. Not to necessarily lay the blame on you because I probably don't fully comprehend the details of the situation, but I feel like if I relied on third parties so heavily to augment my own disability and had the price elasticity to pay an extra $50 tip, I would have many other contingency plans for events like these. If I can't get any help within 4 hours for a pet, how could I be expected to get help for myself or someone else close to me?
Given that the point of the FLOPS unit is to compare processors, it does make more sense to count complex instructions as more than a single floating-point operation. If one CPU could multiply a 4x4 matrix by a vector in a single instruction that can run a million times per second, and another CPU needed ~32 instructions and so can only multiply 500k matrices per second but retires 16 million instructions in that same second, it would be silly to compare instructions instead of multiplications and additions.
> A precinct where reason prevailed over tradition would recognize that new legislation is required to adapt to changing demographics and find a way to enforce cleanliness without infringing on religious freedom.

Various spokepersons from the French muslim community have repeatedly said that it’s ridiculous to make a controversy out of the burkini because virtually nobody wears it. When the numbers are so anecdotical that estimates are impossible to make it’s hard to speak about "changing demographics".

Show HN: The missing linter for Pull Requests
Hey Hacker News community, we're excited to introduce Reviewpad Check. It's a straightforward tool that helps you identify and tackle pull request issues as they arise. No fluff, just efficiency.

- Identify problems on pull requests as soon as they become a problem (Waiting for review, long-lived, large, stale, etc)
- Automatically notify the stakeholders to take action over the identified problems
- Customizable checks for your organization needs
- A single configuration for all the repos(!)

I'd love to have your thoughts!
(Coastal) California still has the perfect climate compared to basically everywhere else in the US, even considering the "dangerous heat waves, extended droughts that threaten the water supply, and uncontrollable wildfires."

Writing this from the east coast where we have wild fires, 500 AQI days, *months long of 85+ degree days with high humidity. Pretty sure California got more rain this year than New York.
Thanks for participating! After this thread winds down, I and my team are going to comb through it for suggestions and take as many as we can. We're also looking into other venues to engage directly with cybersecurity professionals. But please feel free to comment on the record as well -- a robust and detailed record is worth a lot more than whatever I can do individually.

Seriously, these Nazi/Commie disputes manifest themselves in strange Windows/Linux disputes, iOS/Android disputes, Tesla/The World disputes, and so forth. In my mind it's all the same and there are many characters involved behaving in this same way.
This is a bit racist, but you'll likely find that those who don't get it are Americans. And it's not so much that they don't get it, but rather that _every goddamn thing is a fight with these guys_. You can't just have an opposing opinion that can be thought about, you have to be wrong, and then beaten.

Yup, paypal website. Don't even need the app. Works better than venmo etc because it works internationally and various competitors that are app-only only work in 1 country anyway.

Not really. A color sensor has a filter in front of it (usually a bayer filter) which lets each pixel capture one of the R, G, or B colors. The final image is [demosaiced](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demosaicing) and has a drop in sharpness as a result.

Pentax seems to be omitting the color filter on the sensor rather than just squashing the read out to greyscale so this sensor should be sharper than a similar color sensor.

1. Check out this cool chat-with-my-docs app I made with LangChain!

2. Okay, let's productize!

3. Ouch, the results aren't quite production-ready...

4. Huh, the bottleneck seems to be the search & retrieval process...

5. Oh, I guess I don't know anything about search, time to catch up on the field...

6. Ok, now I need to build an inverse index or knowledge graph and augment it with embeddings.

7. Hm, actually, language models (including BERT-based, Splade) could be pretty useful in building structure out of my dataset...

IMO the best way to incorporate transformers into search has yet to be discovered, although whatever OpenEvidence.com is doing seems to work well. If I were still in grad school I would look into some kind of PageRank / graph NN approach to the problem, or maybe hyperbolic embeddings.

Reason being that for many corpora there exists some kind of internal structure or linking that can be exploited for speed and accuracy, which you don't quite get from nearest neighbors in a Euclidean space.
I've lived in several cities in the US over the past decade and noticed that delivery drivers in different regions have distinctly different norms regarding this.

I lived on the 36th floor of a building in Chicago with a doorman, and I would consistently get the driver coming to up to my door. I don't think I ever once had to meet them in the lobby.

When I lived in Seattle very very few drivers would come in from the sidewalk even when I lived in a first floor unit maybe 50' from the street. I'd buzz them in and they'd wait in the threshold with the door open. Beyond that, maybe 20% of drivers would only call me, never buzz, and expect me to come out to their car to grab my food.

I lived in Chicago again more recently in a 4th floor walk up, and I'd usually try to go down and meet them (habit from Seattle, and also it was a lot of stairs and I felt bad), but they'd consistently come hustling up the stairs before I got the chance to come down and meet them.

Other places I lived fell somewhere between Seattle and Chicago on this spectrum.
These small keyboards trade-off the benefit of "bring all the keys within easy reach of the hands" at the cost of a more complicated layout.

The intent is "be able to press F1-F12 without having to move hands so far from home row"; it's not "I want a smaller keyboard and don't need F1-F12".

You might find the story of MacBasic interesting:
https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...

Apple intended to ship the Mac with a programming language, a really nice threaded and graphical Basic, but Bill Gates put the squeeze on them.
Disagree :) In my experience, test code that has duplication everywhere makes it harder to reliably change the code under test, as there are so many tests that have to be rewritten and you're basically guaranteed to fuck something up.

I'm not arguing for making the test cases harder to read, it's very important to be able to see input/output/expected output as always, but it's also important that you're able to change the test code confidently, and duplication actively works against that.

I guess the "truth" or "optimal state" is somewhere in-between. Not 100% duplication but also not 0% abstractions.

Seems a bit short sighted to close the helium reserve and sell it off. The last 3 years have taught the value of having some slack in the supply chain.

From the Cyber Trust Mark perspective, there's no inherent difference between a connected disposable gizmo and your example of the water heater. Personally, I would love to see a minimum cybersecurity commitment made by anyone who makes or sells anything with connectivity.
Doesn't this give companies that supply helium to hospitals an opportunity to purchase helium? It seems like if there's a shortage for important uses in the economy, then moving helium out of a government reserve is exactly what you'd want, right?

Your complaint is that you think for-profit hospitals should be gifted the helium rather than having to purchase it?
Thanks! If you find anything that could be improved make sure to let me know :)

TLDR manufacturers and "serious" companies won't touch anything that could potentially be configured to emit signals that your local government doesn't like. So Linux has to pretend it doesn't allow to do that (even though anyone with 2 braincells can patch it)
That's for you to care about. I'll be over here in Europe with more traditional definitions, not dictated by the U.S.A. government.
Great work and as a product guy, I find the preview environments feature explained on your website to be a potential game changer. Being able to spin up and seed environments on demand via pull requests keeps things very clean as I could just look at a particular branch in isolation without the need for fixed dev -> stage environments. By seeding the data, it also means I can "replay" the same scenario again if the developers deploy a change while in the review process.
We had them. Nobody bought them and here's what we got.
BB10, WebOS, Windows Phone
Mail trucks are a bit different though as they are federal vehicles. Private delivery services like FedEx get tickets all the time and pay them as the cost of doing business, but I doubt food delivery services do the same for their drivers.
Why not buy a phone with known good LineageOS support if you're afraid Google may update your phone? You can audit and compile the entire OS yourself and disable any CA certificates you may dislike.
Doesn't need a runway, that's for sure.
Following that thought even further, if dolphins or whales were as intelligent as humans would they even be capable of developing the ability to make instruments that can transmit electromagnetic signals?

Given the limitations of their physical bodies, would they even be capable of developing any sophisticated instruments at all?

Point being, intelligence may not be the limiting factor for extraterrestrial communication at all.
>AI has precisely zero "preferences" and zero "understanding" of reality. Its training data however does. And it's people who control that data. An ai trained on python programming will have no clue about making nuclear bombs, nor would it have any clue about "wanting", let alone killing us

Skills generalize. GPT-4 was trained to predict the next token in a text document and that is it, but somehow that training gave it some ability to play chess (not great chess, but better chess than many people can play) and to draw a picture of a unicorn. And if you don't like the word "preferences", use "loss function". GPT-4 certainly is trying to minimize its loss function: if it were powerful and capable enough it would gladly kill people if that would help it minimize its loss function. (The reality is a little more complex than "it is trying minimize its loss function", but the argument can be fixed up to deal with the complexities.)

>AIs don't just happen to combine themselves. It's people that combine AIs.

Sure, and you doubt that there are AI labs with billions of dollars in funding trying their best to create AIs that have a good understanding of reality and that can plan better than people can (and better than human organizations like the FBI can)?

Only two thumb keys seems like it could be a pain. I don't love trying to figure out the timing delays for tap vs hold. After a long search I settled on the Hillside 46 [1][2] which has 4 thumb keys and a splayed layout. Also choc spacing, as I didn't love the gaps between choc keycaps with mx spacing. Not sure why, as the macbook pro keyboard doesn't seem to give me any problems.

I like the all the case options and mods available to the ZSA keyboards. The biggest problem with building your own I feel is the cost of getting a nice, solid feeling case.

So one day all attendees will be AI's, and the platform will generate the meeting-notes straight from the Meeting-Agenda without pretending to hold a meeting.

We won't even need a calendar then to schedule it, you just write some text and press a button to have a machine agree/disagree with you.

Soon people will wonder why this process is even called a "Meeting"...

I can almost hear the AI-bubble inflating already...
For what it's worth, the article hits the nail on the head with my observations as well re: the model no longer being able to reason and go through the step by step processes mentioned. I have asked it to do several really simple tasks recently (e.g. list all headers in a link with exact parameters on how they are formatted), which it used to be able to do with ease, had it repeat back to me all instructions and parameters in order then it would completely ignore those instructions and do random things. I am using it less and less because of this. Maybe I just need agents?
These were all ON for me. Turned them off.

I have children and don't do delivery apps either. Its way more expensive per meal, generates way more trash, and in the end sitting hot and steamy in the packaging for 10+ minutes makes the food worse than if I had cooked it myself or we went out to eat it.

If anything, having kids is a reason to not do delivery apps. Having kids is expensive enough I don't need to spend an extra $10 a meal just to have someone bring it to me.

If we're talking convenience, its pretty much the same level of effort as throwing frozen foods in the air fryer or in the steaming tray of the rice cooker and coming back in like 10 minutes. Or reheat a meal-prepped food. Or cook one of the several quick recipes of things we usually have on hand. Or having fun slicing soft fruits and vegetables with plastic knives with the kids.

Most of the time that we do order takeout its because one or both of us are already out and about and will just swing by some restaurant on the way home. Or we'll pick up food to go and stop by the park on the way home and have a picnic.

So many options that are all massively better than ordering delivery foods from an app.
