> If you're in a running club I bet you do too.

I'm not in a club but am a runner myself, although currently in a trough ever since I got a kid, and in the process of picking the habit up. I do know a bunch of long-time runners far above my level (a couple doing trail). Most injuries I heard about are ankle or knee sprains. When tracing the root cause of injuries most of those appeared to be:

- accidents (an overlooked hole or bump in the ground)
- skipping (or rushing) a warmup
- seeking performance or improper recovery, thus soreness/tiredness during effort, thus pushing it into the area where muscles and tendons could not compensate for the strenuous effort anymore.

My mother's SO has been a runner (and bike rider) for most of his life and is still running and riding despite nearing its 70s (TBF he is dialing it down, mostly because of age). AFAIK he never had a serious injury due to running; he certainly does not have lasting damage. One key thing seems to be that except in his early youth he's never been looking for performance, instead it's more of a lifestyle habit for him. Effort, yes, strenuousness, no; the long scale game not being a marathon or something, the long scale game being several decades of healthiness.

> I don't know any cyclists or swimmers where the sport by itself has caused that kind of damage.

Conversely, I do. Again it's a performance seeking scenario. There's a swimmer who started to have severe back issues (started with butterfly, a few years later he could only back crawl). A couple cyclists started to suffer knee and hip issues because of the repeated continuous pressure heightened by leaning forward during a high-lever effect ~90deg (well, closer to 90deg than when running) pedal push. Several suffered chronic Achille's heel or popliteal tendinitis. Again, a performance seeking scenario, combined with an apparatus that that allows you to go "beyond spec" to eke out the most energy-to-speed ratio.

That said bikes are brilliant, and extremely efficient at transforming downward energy into forward motion.

> I can ride a 150 miler when I'm not that fit or flexible and once the tiredness has worn off I'll have no issues

The above efficiency note biases bikes a lot. My previous comment was not an argument against bikes at all, it was about trying to dispel the blanket canned statement that "running is the worst and very damaging to joints because impacts, you should not do it".

> I remember running a half marathon once when I was fit but without a long, structured training and I was limping around for a week afterwards.

However you slice it, a half marathon can already be quite straining and requires, as you mentioned, intentional training to be achieved without damage in our modern societies. Now, running a 5K three times a week at a brisk but not strenuous pace should not produce any damage if proper form is used (assuming bad form all bets are off anyway and even 1K could easily smash your joints and back if one constantly hits heel first, but then again bad form on a bike can be quite disastrous as well).
> There's really no other way forward as a society, otherwise creatives' work can always just be stolen at will by laundering it through an AI model. There would be no incentive for the next HR Geiger or Moebius to work hard on a distinctive aesthetic when anyone with a computer could make art just like theirs.

The games market has been dealing with this for a while and things work out. We get original, meaningful games that are easily pirated, and original, meaningful game mechanics copied by giant, powerful corporations. Nonetheless those people thrive. So I don't know. This is a kind of doomerism that isn't going to play out, it's reacting to a lack of creativity among monetization for illustrators and a lack of opportunities that have always existed, rather than anything specific about the mechanics of laundering this or AI models that.

Aviation is incredibly risk-averse, which is part of why it's one of the safest modes of travel that exists. I can't imagine any aviation administration in a developed country being OK with a "yeah just keep going" approach in this situation.

VB.NET and C# were released concurrently, weren't they?
They are great at saying things that sounds like the next line of the conversation. That's a certain kind of induction for sure, but probably not the kind you're after.
A better UI for fine-grained control over what kind of requests get blocked.
On my Android Samsung Galaxy, when I want to know the password of a saved Wifi, I generate a share-QR, screenshot it, and have a QR scanner scan the picture to extract the password. It drives me nuts, the password is clearly not secure/protected, still the UI will only give me the QR code, not the plaintext. PLEASE tell me I am just too stupid to find the right menue!
Everyone has their own personal preferences.

Here is how I would do that task, assuming (a) I had to do it more than once and (b) I could choose any software. On the computer I'm using, the statically-linked, stripped binary is 50k versus a dynamically-linked gawk which is 623k. This solution is faster than AWK, Python, Go, etc. and uses much less CPU and memory. This is quick and dirty, written in a few minutes. I am not a paid programmer. I'm the so-called average user. I'm not compensated for writing programs.

Modifiable ROM images let us do all sorts of things like add support for more memory via higher density SIMMs (Quadra / Centris 610, 650, 800), add support for non-native and not normally supported hardware, fixing bugs, and so on.

I'm considering getting one so I can have a low power, boots-straight-into-use LocalTalk to ethernet bridge with print drivers and printer sharing. Another option is network booting, since network file sharing is so incredibly easy with classic Macs.

Fun!
One time a doctor at the on-campus clinic looked at my blood sugar reading said I might be prediabetic. This was an early-morning appointment at a time in my life when I wasn't very used to that and had rushed out of my dorm while scarfing down a bagel that had been hastily topped with the only thing in the cabinet that was in a squeeze bottle — honey!

No blood test over the next decade showed even a hint of elevated blood sugar.
Ascribing human properties to computers and software has always seemed very bizarre to me. I always assume people are confused when they do that. There is no meaningful intersection between biology, intelligence, and computers but people constantly keep trying to imbue electromagnetic signal processors with human/biological qualities very much like how children attribute souls to teddy bears.

Computers are mechanical gadgets that work with electricity. Humans (and other animals) die when exposed to the kinds of currents flowing through computers. Similarly, I have never seen a computer drink water (for obvious reasons). If properties are reduced to behavioral outcomes then maybe someone can explain to me why computers are so averse to water.

I wrote Dts package scripts in Vbs but had primarily used C# for application development. When Ssis came out with Sql Server 2015, they only released Vb.Net for scripting components. It wasn't a natural transition from Vbs -> Vb.Net so we ended up writing libraries in C# and using those in Vb.Net. Brutal.
Apple still builds WebKit for Windows, and you can run it today! https://james.darpinian.com/blog/safari-on-windows

Of course, it's not Safari. But it could be useful for testing CSS quirks or similar without requiring a Mac. And if Apple wanted to ship Safari for Windows... well it would still be a tremendous amount of work. And I don't see what Apple would get out of it. But at least porting WebKit is already half done.
This is beyond cool. Point clouds are one thing but this… this is amazing. Kudos and great job. It even runs on my work Lenovo at 60fps.
Yes - a ton of people. "No code" is great, tons of small businesses use them to put together internal tooling and reduce operational costs in a way that previously would only be possible with an engineering team.

While it is vastly different from VB6, I found that knowing VB6 at least gave me a leg up on understanding what they were going for. Once I was familiar with Visual Basic .NET, I realized how much less syntax was involved with C#, while still being able to use the same libraries. I never looked back, except for my first professional job where my "lead" didn't know C# very well, but knew VB.NET. He made me code in VB.NET, but eventually I took over the project, then immediately extracted the VB.NET code into DLL files that I called from C#, and wrote the remaining application in C# until I could refactor everything into C#.
Oh, you make a good point. I made a mistake with my fire analogy and didn't actually state that I'm pro-fire. I'm glad to have fire and to be able to use it. Not sure profit-seeking behavior is quite as useful, but whatever.

You can try to equate the two, but that says more about you than about the topic at hand.
I had been considering becoming an air traffic controller myself, and it rather tickles me to think I might have missed my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to direct aircraft with the original pen-and-paper flight strip mechanism in the 21st century! Completely safe, excruciatingly low-capacity, and sounds like awfully good fun as a novelty (for the willing ATC, not the passengers stuck on the ground, I hasten to add).
Ask HN: Building a Cocktail-Mixing RoboHand – Libraries, & ML Recommendations?
Hey HN,

I have a project idea that I'm really excited about and looking for some advice. I recently got my hands on the Adeept 5-DOF Robot Arm Kit. It's an Arduino-compatible, 5-axis robotic arm. The specs and tutorials seem comprehensive, but I want to take it a step further.

I'm envisioning a 'Cocktail RoboHand': a robot arm that can identify ingredients and mix cocktails based on image recognition.

What I have:

Adeept 5-DOF Robot Arm (Arduino IDE compatible): https://www.amazon.com/Adeept-Robotic-Compatible-Programmable-Processing/dp/B0BV9ZCCMY/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=robotic%2Bhand%2Bkit&qid=1694464684&sr=8-6&th=1
A 2/4-cores ARM64 SBC (single board computer) for image processing.

What I need help with:

Image Recognition: I believe I need some kind of image recognition system to identify various ingredients (like bottles of spirits, mixers, fruits, etc.). What are the best machine learning algorithms or frameworks to get started with this?

Integration with Robot Arm: Has anyone integrated image processing with the Arduino ecosystem? Any tips, libraries, or pitfalls to watch out for?

Learning Algorithms: To make the RoboHand efficient in making cocktails, I believe it'd benefit from some machine learning to understand measurements, pouring times, and sequences for optimal mixing. Recommendations?

Safety: Mixing drinks involve glass, and liquids which can get messy. Any suggestions on ensuring safe operation and avoiding accidents? Especially given that some bottles can be quite heavy.

UI/UX: Lastly, thinking of how users might select or input their desired drink. I think that voice interface + gpt3.5/claude API should be good in order to communicate and create task for the robot. Don't you?

Would appreciate the collective wisdom of the community on these questions. Any additional thoughts, experiences, or pointers to existing projects would be amazing. Cheers!

(I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has done something similar or has experience in robotic bartending, it'd be awesome to connect!)

Thanks in advance!
It's false imprisonment against civilians to achieve political ends. But good luck trying to convince a comment section of the immorality of that.
The Danish Church is allowed to veto buildings of wind turbines if they were within the 28x the height of the turbine. This is quite a long distance if you consider the 160m tall 14MW Siemens (though I think that may be offshore only).

There are more than 2000 churches in Denmark. Only the minister of the interior could override that veto.
Every year is likely to be the hottest year on record, for the rest of our lives. If some year happens to offer a temporary reprieve, that will be news.
Not because of their capabilities or behaviors, but because we know how they work (mechanically at least) and it is incompatible with useful definitions of the word "intent."

I've never seen this deter anyone. I can't understand how people that know how they work can have such ridiculous ideas about llms.

I'd add though that inference is clearly fixed but there is some more subtlety about training. Gradient descent clearly doesnt have intelligence, intent (in the sense meant), consciousness either, but it's not stateless like inference and you could argue has a rudimentary "intent" in minimizing loss.

Edit: Not saying it's working right for everyone, only that it's not universally broken. That is, it's capable of working, even if it's not OK on your system.

Databases access was a mess then in general. But yeah, completely agree with your sentiment. PHP was just so much easier with common databases.
Blazor with C#. It allows me to focus at customer problems and easier at real-time functionality in B2B apps. It doesn't distract me with the ever breaking npm ecosystem shenanigans. We only use some gulp to compile sass code and minify a tiny bit of javascript.
How exactly is this powered by Ikea? Seems like this is just an advertisement for a pegboard. The author doesn't even use the Ikea hooks and whatnot to mount their hardware. Literally any pegboard or board with many holes in it would do the same thing here, besides aesthetics (although, there is a wide variety of aesthetics available for pegboards).

Honestly I was kind of expecting some sort of Ikea smart home related "power".
It's looking like <some stressful assault on the body's immune system> is a necessary but not sufficient condition to developing CFS. Further, there are many events which can serve as triggers.

But in the cases where the other prerequisite conditions are met, EBV is usually the causal trigger.
No. That's silly. The logs would've / should've just shown that the program halted because it was confused about data. The actual commands to fix would've been quite different.
In languages with tagged union types you do this a lot! Some Haskell pseudocode for ya

module Email (Address, fromText, toText) where -- note we do not export the constructor of Address, just the type

data Address = Address Text

fromString :: Text -> Maybe Address
fromString =
-- you'd do your validation in here and return Nothing if it's a bad address.
-- Signal validity out of band, not in band with the data.

toText :: Address -> Text
toText (Address addr) = addr -- for when you need to output it somewhere
French here, as much as I wish It was the case for comical effect… I don’t think so.

Our right wing press is also desperately economically liberal so anything privately run is inherently better.

Maybe radio stations? Honestly, major respect to the daily mail for those snarky attacks that keep up the good spirits between our two countries.

It’s maybe the food or the weather that make them aggro ? Idk, but don’t worry, we love to hate the perfide Albion. Too.

Fellow French: am I wrong ? Maybe “valeur actuelle” could pull up that type of bullshit, but I think they are too busy blaming Islam to start thinking about our former colony across the channel.
ty, edited. oopsies!
I'm always interested in seeing a new attempt to solve the problem of organizing a ton of little devices and a mess of cables. My personal attempt involves mounting a couple of UniFi bits directly to the wall, plus a little shelf made out of scrap 1x4 pine for the odd shaped things and the power strip.

Maintenance issues aside, the setup in the linked article looks quite pretty and should have decent airflow for passive cooling, which is nice!
The probability may actually be much higher: about 12% per decade for a -850mT event; 1.5% for -1700mT [1].

Wikipedia estimates the Carrington was anywhere from -800 to -1750 [2].

That highly depends on the franchise/gas station in question.

Gas stations are typically more dangerous because there's far more foot traffic in close proximity, and it's more socially acceptable and expected at night at a gas station than at a McDonald's (which tend to close lobbies at night).

I feel like this makes more sense for a big box store, you know, a place where you would naturally park your car for a time anyway, not a place you tend to try to get in and out of relatively quickly - or often never leaving your car at all.

That said, there are big picture infrastructure considerations (Eg, load on the grid at differing times of day). If the convention moves to charging at destinations (eg work, stores), that could see the power needs once met by gasoline now being offloaded onto the grid during day hours, and that's likely not ideal vs charging overnight.
The pegboard system looks neat, but I'm wary of IKEA 'systems' ever since they discontinued the Galant desk system.
>I expect there are a lot of people like me, who want to buy an EV, but the product they want isn't on the market (despite equivalent ICE options being available).

If there was a suitably compelling electric vehicle for everyone, would the ICE market go to zero? Sure-very little of the market wants cars that burn gas for the sake of burning gas. But, that's not a useful observation.

>Regarding negative externalities: if the price tag of a new car included the cost of all the pollution you're going to be spewing into the air while driving it

Other than CO2, what pollution?

>I would be surprised beyond belief if these manufacturers were not getting pressure from the oil industry to only do the minimum when offering EV models.

The oil industry also produces the feedstock for generating the electricity used to charge the electric cars. "Journalist discovers Tesla charging station with a discretely-hidden diesel genset nearby" is practically a meme at this point.

This is really cool! The control scheme is confusing though. Instead of the typical WASD for moving and using the mouse to look around, dragging the mouse moves forwards and backwards and orbits around some point, A and D strafe, while W and S look up and down.

EDIT: Looks like a full list of controls is in the readme: https://github.com/antimatter15/splat#controls
>but the guidelines have probably accounted for that

They have not. The guidelines are against controlled studies with strict protocols on how to take the measurement.

To know your blood pressure relative to the guidelines, you want to be as close to the guideline protocols and possible. That can be a 20/10 point difference or more.

The average physicians office doesn’t follow those protocols unless you deviate significantly. e.g you walk in with 140/90 and they aren’t going to bother. 160/95 and they will recheck you with more care given to the proper measurement technique.

This isn’t to say one should dismiss the numbers when taken properly; I’m just pointing out that calibration is necessary.
The idea is interesting but I always feel like sharing music like that doesn't work.

It's similar to the #music channels that communities sometimes have. People post their favorite songs, or new songs they just discovered, but as it's a diverse group of people posting them and not a tight-nit group that enjoys similiar music it just becomes a stream of new music and people have no idea if they might enjoy it.

It works between friends when people say "I know you like xyz, you might enjoy that", but outside of that the "sharing" part is more fun than actually trying to go through a list of new songs and picking what to listen.
the library uses a fairly simple data representation where x{m,n} is compiled using conjunction and disjunction. so x{1,4} ends up being represented as x|xx|xxx|xxxx.

this simplifies the code for testing equality and inclusion, since logically x{n} is just xx... (n times) and x{m,n} is just x{m}|x{m+1}|...|x{n}.

but when you have x{m,n} and n-m is large you can imagine what kind of problems that causes.
> And there is insurance available to minimize the risk of uncertainty.

Is there? I haven't heard of this but admittedly had not thought of researching into it.

It would be a game changer to be able to buy an insurance policy that guarantees a monthly payment indexed to inflation starting at age, say, 85 until death.
I believe the SIFT algorithm is most commonly used. Harris struggles when features change in scale between images, whereas SIFT does not. Harris can be outfitted with a Laplacian pyramid to overcome the scale issue though.
Macos sonoma and ios 17 i think include something like this. It’s pretty basic but I assume it will evolve over time. Look for “inline predictive text” on the new oses of apple.
I'm with this OP. I absolutely cannot stand it. I have no good "logical" reason for why, but it's the most stressful part of the doctors office for me. I've been as high as 170 at the doc due to sheer stress of getting the measurement taken. I've tried "exposure therapy" by just doing it at home every day, multiple times per day. It never stopped being stressful.

I've also fainted during a blood draw. I wish I wasn't this guy... but alas. I am begrudgingly this guy.
Right, they say almost exactly what I said above.

"MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting some of the Company’s systems. Promptly after detecting the issue, we quickly began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts,”

"We also notified law enforcement and took prompt action to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems."

The systems are down due to MGM shutting them down, not the active attack shutting things down.
