Is an 'ELI5' possible, explaining how the Super Resolution or upscaling of satellite imagery takes place, in broad concept?

My first assumption is that it takes existing datasets of high and low res imagery, covering the same areas, and builds a complex understanding of extrapolation between the two. A sort of reverse-engineering guidebook. It can then be fed low res imagery alone, and refer to the guidebook its built up, in attempt to extrapolate high res output.

"The example data suggests, at X.X% likelihood, that this particular pattern of low res pixels resolves into a high res shape of these particulars : ".

Perhaps. But their era also created plenty of wealth. That's perfect financial storm is not something we're going to see again anytime soon.
>"It’s been a real roller coaster for them. Hopefully it settles down a bit."

I don't quite understand what you mean; were they forced to switch each time, was each company 'poaching' from the prior one, did a whole team get up and move twice, or did they get laid off twice?
Use 1950's logic: Until it puts an eye out, it's fine.
What's weird about that is how it has leapfrogged law in 'real-life'. Minors aren't prohibited from talking to adults face-to-face, and you don't need to show proof of age before starting a conversation with someone! This new bill would turn the internet from an environment where nothing is age-restricted (in practice, if not in law) to one where everything is^.

^ Again, in practice if not in law: since no service provider could fully identify and restrict all 'adult' material in real-time, they will be effectively unable to serve any interactive content to minors. Only if the penalties for non-compliance were low enough would the largest of companies take that risk.
You can compile the models to something that runs on edge though, right? For example, Tensorflow is a C++ framework that has Python bindings and a Python library, but when the models are served they are running on C++.

Maybe the act of compilation is an extra step, but I'd much rather have my development be in a high level language that is very suited to experimentation, probing, and testing, and then compile the final result down to something performant.

EDIT: I don't know much about the IOT world, and Tensorflow is likely a bad example as it's not designed to run on edge. So, I could understand that things like llama.cpp, GGML and GGUF are making strides towards easier runtimes. But I still think for dev-time, Python makes sense!
One more reason to build more rail infrastructure and use trains for more things.
Nothing feels as self-justified as pre-emptive revenge. They might hurt us, I know this in my heart, so I must destroy them first.

Of course, you are the one who gets to define who is innocent, yes? That they are defending their innocent children against your influence means nothing. "I think those people want to subject my children to medically unneeded procedures, maybe sterilize them. I am defending the innocent. Therefore ..."

I think your approach lacks humility, allowance for genuine disagreement, and the general principle of not attacking first.
I was under the impression that every cent that is created by the Federal Reserve and the US Mint, is delivered to banks via a loan.

Wouldn't that mean that the origin of all "money" under this system, either be a loan or fraud?
It is a paradox. His point about ISIS vs Republicans is pretty on the money. I think a lot of people in the West are so saturated with tolerance that they don't even recognize what it is. There are countries in the world where being an atheist or being raped is punishable by death and plenty of people there cheer on. In that light, republicans I know are very tolerant people on the whole, possibly even more so than the average Democrat. They have strong feelings about what the government should or shouldn't do, but I haven't met one yet who would actually advocate killing someone for things we think about in terms of tolerance.

If you truly think that the entire republican party, a huge portion of the country's population, have all broken the social contract, I don't think that social contract is worth much.
> incompetent management trying to own and control me and/or being ineffective at managing distributed/asynchronous teams,

We are looking at the same thing but through different lenses. It is true that most of the current management layers are inept at managing remote workforce effectively. But they are capable of managing an in-office workforce - that's how they got promoted in their positions in the first place (mostly).

Guess what is easier decision for the decision makers - change their own skillset and habits, or force everyone back to office?
I can’t even imagine that here where I live. My neighbourhood has sidewalks, which is nice because all the adjacent ones don’t. To go downtown in this little town in winter you have to risk a treacherous steep hill covered in ice and snow that never gets cleared and it’s actually dangerous
What makes you say that? There doesn't seem to be a ton of info on that page about _what_ it is. Certainly not enough to call it an after though.
WhatsApp is useful but has multiple competitors which offer similar or even better functionality - it will be replaced overnight by Telegram, Signal, Viber etc.

On the other hand neither TikTok or Instagram are actually a product which a society will miss its functionality, a lot would argue that we would actually be better off if they didn't exist at all.
To my surprise there's Nylon in alot of tyres.
The collective meltdown, bullying, pile-on and emotional responses over a team's decision to drop a layer of tooling is strange.

Yes, I get it, for most usecases, most people today prefer TS, but in the end, the team weighed their options and they made a decision they are happy with.

Open source, as strange as it sounds, doesn't mean that the maintainers need to ask for the approval of everybody who read some tweets and join the pile on.

For those who disagree with their decision and are actually affected, vote with your feet, and don't rely on anything hey or dhh related. If you don't have a choice but to keep using them and you hate this change, I feel your pain.

I don't know enough about turbo to know if it's a bad decision or not, but I don't mind people going against the grain. If people like that wouldn't exist, I'd still need to work with Scrum (in the end, how dare you challenge the collective wisdom that scrum is the greatest thing since slice bread).

They may succeed or fail, but at least they fail in their own terms and enjoy their work on their product with the language they like.
Also relatedly to the idea of doing source releases, it may be worth looking into doing officially blessed public -binary- releases of old Microsoft software. I'd imagine it would be at least somewhat easier to get past legal and would enable the masses of unwashed zoomers to experience gems like QuickBasic, early Windows and DOS versions, everything released for CP/M, and some products that MS acquired and subsequently buried and took the hatchet to, like Altamira Composer. Actually, on that note, a source release for Altamira Composer or MS Image Composer would also be really nice if it was in fact practicable.
How much collateral damage? Any non-zero amount? [1]

Or does it only become a problem with it becomes some amount that's disproportionate to the damage that is allegedly avoided, as a consequence of those actions?

[1] If you believe any non-zero amount of damage is inappropriate, could you provide me with a single example of social progress[2] (or hell, any human, legal, or moral system) that was made with zero amount of collateral damage?

[2] Unfortunately, we have in the past, and currently live in a society where people need to scream, and shout, and break things for even the grossest injustices against them to be taken seriously. It's a natural consequence of self-interested democracy.
Edited because I didn’t read. I don’t have a good solution, so here’s a bad one in hopes that someone will correct me.

You may consider deliberately causing a thermal runaway in a safe area with concrete then dumping sand on it. This would at least remove the explosive danger when you eventually dump it in the trash.
Chris Rock used that phrase in one of his stand-up shows as well. It's probably easy to find on Youtube.

Also, I disagree with the logic that the statement is inherently racist. I understand that everyone in the USA is hypersensitive about race and has been conditioned to automatically scream "racist" at the mere mention of that word, but analyzing the position behind the statement logically: in this context it is being used as a class signal, not a race signal.
I think "knackered" is the term you are looking for.
There are complaints about everything all over the internet.

In my experience, I've never once had a problem cancelling SaaS. There will always be bad actors out there, and maybe Adobe has been one, and maybe they still are, but on the whole I haven't found SaaS to be any worse than anything else.

And it's not really where the economic incentives lie -- someone who is cancelling is someone who is likely to sign up again in the future, so it's generally not in a business's best interests to piss them off.
Outside of Oslo the infrastructure is built with car reliance deincentivizing cars and incentivizing walking and bikes won’t make much difference. Instead they should be making public transport more attractive. Walking and biking is not exactly ideal in harsh weather.

These are not the same thing. A vocoder or talk box effect modulates an input signal with a carrier signal. It doesn't actually digitally synthesize sung speech from scratch.

Singing synthesis is different, most notably through Vocaloid. It's like a piano roll for singing. With Vocaloid, you can use preset voices, input MIDI notes and words/lyrics, and actually synthesize the sung speech completely in the box, and with significantly more realism based on how the synthesizer has been specialized to do that exact task. It lets a songwriter who is not a singer to write songs with full vocals and instrumentals that they wouldn't be able to do otherwise, in the same way that a DAW/midi sequencer enables a different way of writing music that doesn't require it to ever be played to exist.
...and given that climate change rapidly increases the frequency of extreme weather events - Greece for example is suffering from record-shattering rainfalls of 754 mm/m² at the moment [1] - it is crucial that stormwater retention systems get upgraded.

It's not just microplastics that pose a serious risk to waterways, they're the least concern IMHO in storm surge events, it's all the other crap: oils and fuels from vehicles and storage tanks, all kinds of toxic chemicals from industry sites wrecked by disasters, nutrients and soil from fields... and barely any country has prepared for that.

The oils are the worst problem of the bunch, especially if floodwater passes over agricultural land - remediation is very cost-intensive.

Depends on the market. If you're in a high density area the cost of feeder fibres is inconsequential. If you're in a low density rural market, additional feeder fibres are expensive. Smaller market players can't get the 30 year amortization that governments can which makes cost matter.

The optical signal budget in a Passive Optical Network (PON) is a function of the split ratio (commonly 1:32 => 2^5 => 5 * 3dB = ~15dB) and distance involved (typically 0.35 dB/km), which both are a function of the network design. Passive optical networks are typically designed around a 20 km distance with a 1:32 (sometimes 1:64 for 10G PON variants) splitter ratio. You can trade splitter ratio for distance if needed. An 80km DWDM optic is tight at the extreme distance, but 120km is pretty close to the 1:32 / 20km link budget. My point is that it is viable to overlay DWDM on a network designed for PON.
VAT on EVs isn’t the only mechanism, there is also a one-time toll related to vehicle weight in the works.

Just because our lifespan is getting longer doesn't mean that something in our society and environment isn't contributing to our premature death.

If our lifespan average starts at 30, and then 10 years later, the average becomes 40, doesn't mean we eliminated all factors causing us to live shorter lives.

Reminds me of when my then-new '98 (or was it '99?) Audi A4 cluster partially crapped out on the highway. The needles dropped to zero and several warning lights came on, but the car still drove normally.

I pulled over and called the dealer service department for advice, and we decided it was safe (for the car) to continue my journey. But with the partial instrumentation failure, the air-conditioning also refused to operate, so I had a sweaty summertime trip.

The model imagines what it could look like before blurring. There is no information gain, it just makes a blurred image look nice using guesses.

I think greed is an essential ingredient to become CEO in the first place. I simply cannot imagine a non-greedy non-sociopath becoming CEO of a big corp.
No, I'm just trying to empathise with busy parents rather than write off parents who struggle with this stuff as lazy.

I know some parents give their children devices for safety reasons. For others, I guess they don't want their children to be socially isolated if all the other 14 year olds are chatting on messenger.

My only point was that it can be hard, and that not everyone who fails at it is lazy. It sounds like we are mostly in agreement.
Specifically for a gallery page of search results, I'd guess that it's to provide a more-consistent experience.

When you load that results page, you'd be reaching out to ~100+ different domains that will respond and render the images at different rates (and some will fail to load at all). Base64-encoding lets you shove binary content into caches like Redis, retrieval and embedding of which would be preferable to hotlinking to a slow site. Then most of the page gets rendered at the same time client-side.
It wasn't that bad. You had different memory models back then. If you wanted to keep things easy you just compiled for a memory model in which each pointer was either 16 bit (for code/data smaller than 64kb) or a memory model with far pointers (access to all the memory).

There have been mixed memory models and you could go crazy with near and far to break out of the limits of the easy memory models.

Most of the time it was just a mater of picking a suitable memory model for your code and forget about near/far though. Not so different than today.
By far not - rubber isn't even the majority of stuff that's used in vehicle tires [1].

An important facet I constantly find myself evaluating is: "can it be compiled to run in a browser?", Meaning, whether it can be compiled to JS or WASM.

OK. The punctuated version is:

> James, while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher

If you take the first clause:

> James, while John had had "had"

You could replace it with:

> James, while John had "had"

Similarly, most of the (non-quoted) instances of "had had" could be replaced with "had", keeping the meaning almost exactly the same. (edit: this is the point of the sentence. "had had" and "had" are almost equivalent, but the teacher happens to prefer "had had".) This is like the original, where "had said" can be contracted to "said" without loss of meaning, so

> She had said goodbye too many times before

is equivalent to:

> She said goodbye too many times before

You are mixing up the 'reference time' and the bits of the NTP packet you are supposed to use to actually set the time. The reference time is not it.
Responding to purchasing decision by downstream consumers is what the USSR tried to. In theory you would buy things, the price would be slightly higher than the cost, and whatever was being bought more would be produced more, with the profit reinvested in trying to make new products and services. In practice organizing the production efficiently was too difficult due to a confluence of a dozen factors.

Point being, responding to consumer demand is indeed what central planning is supposed to do.
Yeah, server-side is much easier to code. But it should be doable with JS

As you know, I don't want to ban you and we've waited a long time (10 years, apparently, if you count pg's "please stop"), but we simply can't have you posting like this to HN. We still love you and I know your heart is in the right place, but you can't do this here and it's not as if we haven't told you over and over.

For now, users can vouch to unkill your good posts, and if there's a particularly good one that you want unkilled, you can email hn@ycombinator.com. Once you've built up a track record of using HN as intended for a while, we can hopefully take another look and unban you.

If that is so, factories should maybe not buy software that has a much shorter lifespan than their 20 years. In essence, they are the ones making the mistake, not the OS vendor.
