Do you take this same stace with crime or injustice that occurs close to you, say in your city? It's all fine because it's not affecting you individually?

If you want to keep your values, you have to actually believe in them first. If you think they only apply to you and not those around you, then you don't believe in them.
Interesting, thank you for your response.
Depends. With interrail this isn't really the case. I just spend the same amount going from Switzerland to Oslo by train and then fly back. Both cost about 250 Euro.

But with the train, I went multiple places over multiple days, going to Berlin, Hamburg, Kopenhagen, Gothenburg and Oslo.

A friend of mine travled even more, a monthly interrail is even better.
as you could have seen it does not make a valid closure, only source of bugs
Show HN: KREA Patterns – create subliminal images using ControlNet

Umm why not use `cwebp -lossless`? That's the official solution and it even guarantees preservation of transparent pixels with `-exact`: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/cwebp

> today, not sure in the past

Dunno about ffmpeg, but the official library supported lossless encoding a decade ago

> Why do I see WebP as an image format used to sneakily degrade PNG files?

Why does Twitter reencode PNG to JPEG even when this results in larger file sizes and terrible quality for 2D art and technical drawings? All the services you've listed are free and they all cater to the lowest common denominator. They'll never use lossless WebP by default for the same reason they won't use PNG. Lossless media is virtually unheard-of outside our bubbles. If you're lucky there will be a "download original" button
Ask HN: Working with Binance Order Book in C++
How do you work with Binance (or other exchanges) order book in C++?
Do you use any ready-to-use solutions for that, or make everything in-house?

I see these challenges:

1. You need to manually get snapshots via REST initially and combine them with ob diffs streams.

2. If you need a lot of symbols, you will exceed REST limits by getting snapshots very soon.

3. Binance gives only 1000/5000 depth via REST (depending on the weight spending you choose)
3.1. So you can’t see a whole order book at the start.
3.2. If the market goes away from the price spread of your initial snapshot, you will lack some orders because they were beyond the snapshot and placed before you started consuming the diffs.

4. When you receive a lot of stream data, your latency inside your app increases.
4.1. Data processing should be divided into dedicated CPU cores
4.2. Network packets probably too (at least smarter working with rps_cpus than default).
4.3. Data structure for order book should be lock-free - writes and reads shouldn’t lock each other. Probably, there is only 1 write per time for each symbol, but extensive reads shouldn’t lock write operations and vice versa.

5. Order book data structure should support read operations like getting a total amount from the top for a specific depth or getting a depth of a specific total amount. They should work very fast.

In the case of Python, ccxt lib can handle order book. It even refetches snapshot from time to time, but limits the depth to 1000, and it’s still a challenge to handle even 50 symbols at once. For C++ I just don't know any ready-made solutions.

Any details would be interesting )
Yes, and no. Responsibility and preparation (as well as avoidance measures) are lacking, yes, but also our self created climate change is responsible for increased frequency and strength of occurrences... doesn't help if these happened also before, and lacking similar if not more responsibility. Mixing two things.

> Climate Change did not cause that flood, nor did Climate Change kill those people.

It is all a probability game so you can't never say certainly, but it is very probable that flood wouldn't have happened, at least not that strong, without that much more energy, moisture etc in the atmosphere, so you are very likely wrong.

September 20, 2023 – Is JSOC “Zodiac” Program the Real U.S. Gatekeeper of UAPs?
I don't see the problem, to be honest. Everybody is using this guy's work for free and then he needs to deal with complaints that it's not good enough, because it supports ancient browsers in a way that's not to their liking.

You can always fork the projects with this guy's polyfills if you want, but you'll end up forking quite the collection of projects. Most of them are very minor and only end up polyfilling anyway, so you can probably get rid of the packages you don't want in an afternoon. Fork them and maintain them yourself if you're so inclined, don't complain that the free work he's doing for you isn't to your specifications.
If true, good to see JSOC pushing for this to come out.
I have nothing constructive to add to your comment, but I was quite moved by it. I'm not a parent (yet?) so I can only begin to imagine what you must have gone through, however I hope you're in a better place now.

1. At night we are turning all of the other lights off. Our bedroom door is open, so the light dimly illuminates the way to our room without having to turn on hallway lights.

2. When we aren’t home it still happens giving an impression someone is home.

3. It looks nice when you walk in.

4. The convenience is worth the $0.00036 in electric cost per day. (Approx 6w * 0.12/kwh * 30 minutes). That works out to be 13 cents per year. The benefit of 1, 2 and 3 above divided by 13 cents per year gives quite the positive ROI.

Breathless futurism is not especially new - it's always been the content of WIRED magazine and of VC presentations. What I think is new, or at least characteristic of post-2010s, is the shallow omnipresence of the grift ecosystem.
I think the way forward is to let the HTML, CSS, JS Stack finally die and be replaced with something more appropriate. It's an ever growing mess of hacks and compatibility layers to make a technology do something it was never intended to do. Heck, your browser now supports USB.

We need something that's designed from the ground up to be a remotely loaded application layer for operating systems. But to get to that point, we need to throw away the decades of legacy requirements.
Exactly: all the sewage systems I know of process it enough to dump into a sea or river, where even if a downstream town draws drinking water from it the dilution with other water plus additional environmental chemistry reduces the purification problem.

In Singapore's case the sea is the obvious sink for treated sewage, which kicks it back to desalination. Except that I believe that Singapore's water comes across the causeway to the mainland in a pipe.

When I use wifi for streaming, whatever app buffers content so I don't notice any difference with hard wired vs WiFi. I have fiber internet. For demanding devices I have ethernet ports so I hardly pay attention to WiFi versions. My router is a $150 price point thing with 3 antennas from at least 5+ years ago. Given that streaming video and gaming are the two likely most sensitive traffic types on my network and I notice zero issues - I can't fathom paying those amounts for something where I'd probably not notice.

Do people regularly upgrade home routers? I typically just buy a new one when the old one dies.

Interesting. To me, "a number from A to B" is inclusive because "from" implies belonging, making the bounds at least [A,B). The "to", to me, implies the bounds on A apply to the bounds on B. So that would make it inclusive on both edges.

It's the fact that he gives room to the likes of Tucker Carlson, Kennedy, Rogan, Russian perspectives and more anti-establishment narratives.

Personally, I don't think one needs to see a sinister conspiracy behind this, directed by some shady agency or what not - even if the kind of politics that Brand criticizes (uh - I mean questions) is probably wholly supported within milieu of the 5, 9 , 13 ... (I lose track of how many) eyes.

Essentially I think it is like this: for many (most?) people within mainstream politics Brand just fits right in with their preconceptions: there must be something morally, intrinsically wrong and evil about people who don't share their view of the world, especially in todays polarized climate. And now they have proof! (they think)

That is the opposite of open source winning, though. Especially with everything becoming a service - SaaS is the ultimate killer of all that open source was supposed to bring to people. That SaaS is thoroughly built on open source - that's just adding an insult to injury.

Private link is a clever way to implement real network segmentation

That is, when you have a customer in some network and a provider in another network, you had to implement full connectivity between the customer and the provider

With private link, you can remove all that connectivity, and instead expose the provider' service to the customer
The service, nothing more, so just one endpoint

This is really good from a security point of view, but also for managing your stuff (especially if there are multiple teams in the compagny):
because you now have a resource, you can easily list the services you expose to other people, and whom are your customers
> In Matrix, your chatrooms synchronise chat history between servers (rather than passing messages around), and that history is replicated equally over the participating servers, a bit like Git.

XMPP had FMUC (Federated Multi-User Chats) about 5 years before Matrix was even invented. It didn't see broader adoption in the XMPP world because the community figured that this isn't a problem worth solving, and/or that the incurred complexity isn't worth it.

And worse, Matrix even hasn't found an adequate and scalable solution for this "proud" ambition (and probably never will). I don't expect that you could demonstrate in good faith that distributed state and its resolution are a net positive for Matrix, its community, its ecosystem, nor that it has opened new possibilities for the practical cases and users. We are back from the blockchain hype/hangover already, and I can't wait for the same thing to happen to Matrix: this was the wrong tool for the job. Just let it go.
> this constant embeds two terms, exactly because this particular kinship term does not distinguish them

This isn't the case, any more than the English word 'aunt' embeds four terms (your father's sister, your mother's sister, your father's brother's wife, your mother's brother's wife). Plenty of languages distinguish between all four of these relationships. But the English term refers to what we see as a single concept - an aunt.

Most family words have translation difficulties like this. The concepts are usually more generic, more specific, or in some cases incomparable when moving between cultures. This also applies to many other words - even ones for very prosaic objects. The French have a single word which means "metallic object which has a particular shape in order to be able to turn something matching that shape", and they use additional qualifications to distinguish between a door-opening-shaped-metallic-turner and a bolt-undoing-shaped-metallic-turner.

The localization system seeks to avoid 2 things: that when an English speaker adds 'Mary (relationship: Aunt)' as a contact, they have to be asked "Is Mary actually your fathers-sister-aunt or your mothers-sister-aunt?" (Because that person would find it strange and unncessary.) Secondly that where possible, someone who has access to this information in another locale, doesn't see a low-quality translation, in particular one which makes no sense ("US English Kinship Relation �� Mary"), or which is misleading ("Mary is John's father's brother's wife? But I'm married to John's father's only brother!"). The right way to do this is to record a reasonable representation of the intended meaning in the source locale, and to translate into the destination locale. Since English also happens to be the language used for the code, the value "LabelContactRelationAunt" looks less complicated than this one, but it really isn't.

This can be seen by how it will be translated. In a locale where the English concepts encompasses two words, it might be rendered as "(Father-Aunt) or (Mother-Aunt)". In a locale where there are 4, 8 or more relationships which could be described in English as an aunt, they might use something intentionally less specific like "OlderFemaleRelativeNotAGrandmother" rather than a laundry list of possibilities. In others yet it might make sense to use the literal English word, or a contextualization like "Western 'Aunt'", if that's the easiest way to explain the relationship.

Nothing about this is unique to either English or Chinese.
Due dilligence. Or in the case of wallstreetbets, the illusion of it.
Mostly, yes. Heart rate variability ties into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When both are in balance, heart rate will fluctuate with the alternating activation of those nervous systems.

Although I'm sure there's variations in heart rate that aren't healthy.
What's stopping you standing for election?
Yes, exactly. Interoperable doesn't mean much if it is not properly cross platform. I've tried Dart for a project, and it worked OK, but in my opinion TypeScript is clearly the way to go in the foreseeable future.
Is there some reason why browsers aren't split into a million pieces and worked on seperately? Most browser projects I see are tackled like giant monolithic projects.

For example, CSS seems like a constraint solver that has nothing to do with parsing HTTP requests. Even parsing CSS itself has nothing to do with laying it out. Rendering is another step altogether that also has very little to do with anything. I can see these things being split into standalone and testable libraries with limited scope. Maybe I'm wrong though. I often am.

A "browser" seems like an "operating system". There is so much going on and I can see how a "browser" could be made out of myriad existing components in various amounts. A bit like the various Linux distributions and their particular choices of underlying tools and frameworks. You don't do it all at once, you got a million separate small chunks working together (if you're a Unix kind of guy..)

Maybe we should all work on creating as much small composable components as possible and then let the other guys slap a nice UI on top of it and put a bow on it. This is probably not practical, but a guy can dream.
Be careful what you wish for. What if the news didn't report on corruption? Because you can find a whole lot of places where the news won't do that, and you'll know it only from gossip or involvement. What if the news didn't report on tragic events? Let's say a natural disaster or a horrific crime happens in your community, and the news media is just silent, pretending like nothing happened. I bet a lot of people would think it very strange if news media didn't report on these negative events, or if international news didn't report on the war.

> Someone burns a koran? It is only news if it is reported. If someone does it in their basement alone, it would not matter at all.

Yes, of course. But that's exactly what a protest is. It has nothing to do with the burning of the book itself, and everything to do with doing it in public and letting people know. Even if you live in the most rigid dictatorship, you can criticize the president as much as you want in your own basement. It becomes something completely different when you do it on a public square with a crowd watching or participating. But still there are those who want to make what happened in Tiananmen in 1989 become not news. Then it wouldn't matter at all, as you wrote.

As for Quran burnings, a person in my country - that is not Islamic - was sentenced for spitting at and burning the Quran as a protest against a recent Islamic massacre against people in his group. Imagine the situation: Your people are being killed because of a holy book, but you are not allowed to protest against that book. In that case the news media chose to be silent about the protest and about the sentencing of the man. Just an example.

The bigger problem with news media in my opinion is delivery. I can't stand any TV news, because the way the reporters talk is just sickening. They have adopted this kind of venomous and angry voice that just reeks with contempt against the viewer. I remember many years ago I had been out on travels and spent months far away from TVs. I the airport there was a TV with CNN on broadcast, and I was just shocked at how hateful the voices and demeanor of the presenters were. Like, why would anybody voluntarily watch and listen to this? But if you're used to it you might not notice.

But focus on negativity does also get exaggerated in TV news, such as when they are showing clips of traffic accidents far away, or floods in foreign countries that have floods every year, as well as murders in foreign countries that have no international impact. I think it is like you say to keep people in a negative mindset, because that makes them weak and ready to be influenced, not least by advertising that promises to make them feel good if they just buy this product.

The U.S. is rooted in freedom from overreaching governments. (Slavery, equality is a separate dimension). That's how we were formed. For a while we were nearly tribal and free. We got screwed over when we allowed a federal governemnt to "protect" us. The Bill of Rights was supposed to ensure we didn't lose our freedom. It should have kept us free but instead allowed key points of control like real estate tax incentives to enrich an oligarch class and now we have "corporotacracy." The recent/present leaders can not protect us without violating our rights to privacy... ...or won't.

What should 'Firefox fans on HN' do?
Its really hard to make a "Neo-grotesque" (I would say "minimally styled") site whothout content, however.

So many of the frameworks with animated transitions and multiple gradients and all the visual flash get used mostly to disguise the fact that they're presenting very little actual information.

If you have something interesting to say, real information to share, then the details of the presentation are far less impactful.

It's not a likely solution given how loss functions work, but in theory a single model could learn to perform exactly the function you describe. When you say "just do X" where X is any function (in this case, a piecewise function), a large enough model could do it.
