I also hate American-centrism but it seems kinda justified here - they do go out of their way to mention ESA and CSA at the end, as well.

From that article:

NASA's lifetime cost for the project is[when?] expected to be US$9.7 billion, of which US$8.8 billion was spent on spacecraft design and development and US$861 million is planned to support five years of mission operations.[112] Representatives from ESA and CSA stated their project contributions amount to approximately €700 million and CA$200 million, respectively.[113]

So it's 7.0% European, 1.5% Canadian, and 91.5% American (at current exchange rates). My takeaway is: good for Canada!!
This would imply drinking alcohol actually has serious cons, and I doubt such statement was made so far on that basis.

lexicographically sorting is of lower interest to me than the other advantages. yours would also require padding numbers with leading zeroes.

If you need sorting, use a tool that understands dates, simple as that. Many tools do, just some common businesss microsoft tools don't.

Humans think day/month or month/day, they have absolutely no interest in reading the year first.
Have you experimented with ways to offset that at all?

I wonder if the impacts you’re experiencing are basically a mix of a spike in oxidative stress, sleep deprivation, dehydration, and probably coincidental poorer nutrition on the night you’re drinking. So, equally, I wonder if making a sustained effort to address each of those factors the next day would bring you back to baseline quickly.
I couldn't disable the anti-virus in Windows 10 that kept checking my hard drive (yes, my laptop is so old it has a hard drive) and making it slow down

then I just downloaded a program that let me disable it, and I also disabled the firewall

but without the firewall service, I can't get updates (why is that service a pre-requisite for updates?), and I forgot how to re-enable it because I don't remember what program I used to disable it since it's some hack anyway

so now my Windows partition is not really usable, and I'm typing this on Linux where I can just change stuff without breaking everything
I look forward to an AI arguing that it isn't conscious.
I don't think AI will ever be conscious, it's just lines of code that follow instruction, there is something different about the human brain that is capable, I don't think AI will ever reach that level.
Well, I wouldnt say if you think you're a bad programmer that makes you a good one. However, I would rephrase it as "If you're honest with yourself and the mistakes you make, you are able to solve them. If you're not humble, then it is very difficult to be a good programmer (or anything really), because you would think you never make mistakes. And as a result you would never fix them"
I'm sure there's plenty of other issues and confounders to pick apart in the study, but it was a fair claim that most would be misled by the isolated quote to mean that no imagining of negative events occurred at all as part of the study.
yeah, that does seem like a good argument
I can't use Group Policy because when I upgraded from Windows 8, it upgraded to Home edition

it's Home edition because that's what came with the laptop's Windows 8, it was never an issue on Windows 8 because you could disable stuff on Windows 8 without using Group Policy
IMO services like Lambda and S3 not supporting IPv6 is the real issue, and AWS shouldn’t have made the pricing change without first making them dual-stacked, accessible over IPv6.

(Technically S3 does have a separate dual stack endpoint, however it doesn’t really help as I have to change application configuration anyway to deal with this change.)
The London Air Ambulance use helicopters with NOTAR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAR). It's really noticeable how quiet they are compared to other helicopters. They also often land and takeoff on the street - which is pretty cool to encounter on your morning commute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHsd-YShYds
People can use iPhones in English and be native speakers of languages that make the distinction; why would you hide that information from them?
Indeed. I really don't like the thought, but I more and more believe that there is no other way to incentivize IPv6 at the "server side". The client (end user) side seems to do well, considering that Google reports IPv6 end user traffic of almost 50% these days.
Aha. Couldn't help but scratch my own itch. I wonder if DDG has a deal with Google where they get a cut of the ad profit if they are mentioned as a `ref` in the doubleclick ad request.

People must understand the following: if we find One Microbe in such environment, it basically means life is common in the universe. The other thing people must understand: "life" and "fully evolved intelligent life" are two very different stories.
> But let me end on a positive note. In my opinion, the fact that Integrated Information Theory is wrong—demonstrably wrong, for reasons that go to its core—puts it in something like the top 2% of all mathematical theories of consciousness ever proposed. Almost all competing theories of consciousness, it seems to me, have been so vague, fluffy, and malleable that they can only aspire to wrongness.

That is indeed a big compliment!
My several years old Samsung doesn't blank the screen.

Android indeed does tear down the activity and creates a new one with different rotation and size; but activity is not the framebuffer currently displaying. Recreating the activity does not imply blanking screen.
Modular forms can also be viewed as functions in the 2d projective space with a special symmetry:

let f(ax, ay) = a^k f(x,y) be a homogeneous function in the plane x,y for a scalar a, then f can also be written as:

f(x,y) = f(y*x/y, y) = y^k f(x/y,1)

and the symmetry by a matrix transformation in the plane

x-> ax + by and y-> cx+dy then transforms the function f as:

f(ax+by, cx+dy) = (cx+dy)^k f((ax+by)/(cx+dy),1)

now introduce z=x/y and f(x/y,1)=F(z) then

F((az+b)/(cz+d)) = (cz+d)^k F(z)

Projective spaces are cool ;-)

just my 2 ct
>I'm talking about webcams, which have more complex use cases than unprocessed game capture.

I am too. The HDMI capture card makes a webcam out of a DSLR/DSLM. MJPEG is not the main issue when it comes to quality.

This is still implementation dependent. MJPEG can range from 0-100 in terms of JPEG compression. Also the C920 might also use H264 which would be even worse, also same 4:2:0 issue.
Lots of AWS customers want IPv4 because that's what they know, and that's what they benefit from.

To me, the question is: what stops me today from spinning up an IPv6-only website and having 99% of the world's browsers use it? If the answer is "nothing", then AWS shouldn't be forced to offer IPv6 (or only IPv6) - IPv4 is just part of what they offer customers. If the answer is "these 7 things" then those 7 things need to be fixed[0] before we pay civil servants to try and force companies to do things that they barely understand.

[0] E.g. in the UK, it's some of the big ISPs that don't do IPv6, so there's no point forcing someone way upstream (and way more optional) in the process to do something https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2021/11/update-on-ipv6...

It feels like you're completely ignoring the comment that started this all, which then throws your comparisons out of whack. Here's what it looks like to me.

1 - Luminouslow: "Pfft, health shmelth, the corporations want us to be cowards who don't drink alcohol, and this is playing right into their hands!"

2 - Terr: "That's hypocritical nonsense. If anything, people like you--ones who treat regular alcohol as an important part of their identity and try to ostracize people who don't drink--are the real corporate sheep here."

3 - Subjectsigma: "Alcohol isn't always corporate, people can brew their own at home."

4 - Xornot: "That would be a very different situation than the world we're discussing right now."

5 - Subjectsigma: "But Terr started criticizing people who drink as consumer sheep, which is very unfair because they could have bought locally."

> In all scenarios, the traffic goes over Azure networks and/or Microsoft's private backbone.

That's the whole selling point of private links. How could you possibly missed that? That's exactly why companies onboard onto the service. They say exactly this exactly on the marketing brochure. That's why customers line up to pay for it: to get their traffic flow only through private networks instead of through the wild.

What kind of confusion reigns in your mind to come to the conclusion this was some obscure conspiratorial gotcha?

It boggles the mind how you felt the need to come up with absurd conspiracies involving IPv4 to arrive at a claim that the marketing pamphlets show front and center as their whole reason of existence: avoid traffic to go through the internet, and instead pay extra to go through private pipes they own.

It's as if the name actually means something!
What about fentanyl? Pretty sure that's a Mexican Kartell exclusive product. At least in the amounts it's consumed.
I don't know where you're from, but in the UK, over £50 billion is spent on it each year.

If you've seen anybody who lives for Friday / Saturday night and a Sunday hangover, it fits the consumerist image pretty neatly. Many (obviously not all) are slaves to alcohol.

We've all heard the wine'o'clock jokes from middle aged women in the office, people struggling to complete "Dry January" and similar challenges, colleagues talking about how excited they are to get a drink when they get home.

These people are held under the thumb of a handful or two alcohol companies. In many cases, it's simply a wasted weekend and quite a sum of wasted money, especially when you can't remember any of it.
Show HN: FormsLab – Open-source form builder
Hello guys, I wanted to share with you and ask your opinion about my first open-source project.

That's a really good policy, and what I said above does not reflect my private opinion but the opinions of a lot of people that decoder projects target. You are in a way more controlled environment.

For dav1d I heard that one of the reasons why C was chosen was precisely this portability concern. format decoders are usually quite low level components and can get integrated into all sorts of environments. I'm sure there is someone out there who made a visual studio project with a 3 year old VS version with dav1d inside for some embedded project. For such devs, Rust is a way harder sell.
this is a godsend...
This “human usable” argument gets trotted out so much on here and elsewhere, but the same people would be surprised to know about HTTP/2, TLS and the like, which by that definition, isn’t human usable either because of binary formats and encryption.

People never interact with these protocols directly and use a layer of indirection such as a HTTP/2 client for HTTP, and the same applies for IPv6: use DNS (or your hosts file).
Unless it has a common ancestor to life here. Then we still have to figure out if it started in this solar system or not.

I get being busy. But it’s been three years, and he keeps saying the project isn’t dead, so he hasn’t lost interest. Also, he asked for help then largely ignored the help and/or started bike shedding the PRs. He’s 100% across everything that happens in the repo, investing a lot of time replying to every comment immediately.

I’m pretty sure people offered to become maintainers and he declined. Forking has its own set of problems, but yeah you’re right, this is at least a possibility.
I always thought the USPS would be the perfect agency for more public outreach and goverment-citizen interaction.

It sounds weird when its stated, but they are the only government entity that sends an employee to your house 6 times a week. It could quickly turn distopian but I could imagine the mailman becoming your single stop for interacting with the government and its services.
I agree with your assessment. I see the extreme polarisation growing elsewhere too. Is there any basis to suggest that it is linked to a growing urban-rural divide? Or something else maybe in the media?

In addition, IPv4 addresses are an asset that has monetary value; and there’s no reason AWS would want to drive down the value of the asset by helping customers migrate to IPv6.
Define winning - I'd take "Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide in the second quarter of 2023 with a market share of 70.8 percent. Android's closest rival, Apple's iOS, had a market share of 28.4 percent during the same period." [0]

Keep in mind that executing the searches has a cost for Kagi.

I remember I could see my usage which was about 700 searches per month and which costed ~8$ I think. My subscription was 10$ so 2$ would go to pay their devs and to R&D. So they can't really go lower then 10$ for specific markets.
I've launched AOSP devices professionally, so I understand how Android is segmented better than most...

You spent way too many words trying to downplay some pretty simple facts: Android OS updates are what contain most headline features lay people recognize.

GPS/Mainline cover things that are implementation details as far as they know, and don't cover the binary blobs which are the biggest reason why losing security updates in a year is going to mean the S20FE is forever an insecure device, regardless of what Mainline can deliver or what going with a custom rom does.

_

Also Android is extremely far from mature, things like Project Mainline show we haven't even settled on how far Google gets to sink the closed sourced claws of their GPS into the core of it.

I mean you've got Android 14 finally adding the APIs to properly support scrolling on high FPS displays. Android had 120hz displays years before Apple and somehow manages to screw up these basic cases because they have no unified product vision to speak of.

Maybe Android will be "mature" once Google is done with their iOS-ization of AOSP driven by crappy vendors, but for now the updates are extremely meaningful.

Seems like an ocean world could develop intelligence but technology would be quite difficult.
Whisper’s initial capability was providing timestamps at the segment level, which allowed us to track when specific audio chunks were spoken. However, the introduction of word-level timestamps propels this functionality to a whole new level, pinpointing the exact word spoken at each moment in the audio. This innovation brings about unprecedented possibilities.

Whether you're searching for that little nugget of wisdom that sparked your curiosity, or trying to efficiently sift through large volumes of audio data, word-level timestamps make the task virtually effortless. Yet, the applications of word-level timestamps extend beyond simple navigation.

From making videos accessible for hearing impaired audience, optimizing video SEO, to capitalizing precise keyword ad placements, the benefits are manifold. In essence, this feature can potentially lead to significantly enhanced user engagement and superior marketing results. Additionally, for the more technically inclined among you, there's a Colab notebook developed to experiment with generating word-level timestamps using OpenAI whisper.

And if you're contemplating between transcription and translation, it's recommended to opt for transcription for more accurate alignment due to possible discrepancies in language translation.

Another alternative is Whisper-X.

It offers enhanced transcriptions and timestamps along with features like speaker diarization and fast batched inference, although it currently supports a limited range of languages.

Have you tried the word-level timestamps feature of OpenAI's Whisper ASR system? Did it transform your audio navigation and analysis as promised? Let us know your thoughts and experiences.

What about fentanyl and opioids? Pretty sure that is where the big money is at.
My experience with computer fans is the smaller ones are much (much) noisier than larger ones moving the same amount of air (because they have to spin faster). Unclear why these are quieter - is it just the electrical power? From the article it seems like they have better control of the speed so can turn them off on the ground, so perhaps they're only quieter in some situations.
I wish more people gave a shot at browser implementations. You see a lot of comments that this in a herculean task, and maybe it is, but it's not _that_ bad.

You don't have to implement all of the functionality of modern web browsers. You don't need battery APIs, game controller APIs, USB, etc. Focus on what is important - HTML, CSS, JS.

Worst case scenario - you will learn something new.

Best of luck on this project!

There's one viable solution to be able to run IPv6 only subnets in AWS, their (or your own) NAT gateways support v6->v4 NAT. So it allows you to create large IPv6 only subnets for your compute services (ec2, ecs, k8s, elb, all supports that), allowing your containers to scale without worrying about IP addresses. Then you use dual stack subnets for other AWS services that may not support IPv6 and your compute services can access them through the NAT gateway.

This works wonderful until the site tries to force the suggestion on you and your address is somehow wonky in the system like not existing at all or under a wrong or mis-ordered apartment number.
