That is entirely true, but don't miss the forest through the trees:

> The incident highlights the fact that delivery robots that are being deployed to sidewalks all around the country are essentially always filming, and that their footage can and has been used as evidence in criminal trials.

Nest and the like are already queried by law enforcement, and those are fixed in place. They're raising awareness that there is now a mobile CCTV system in these delivery droids. In this case, the footage was offered to substantiate a criminal accusation, but there is appetite for automating this.

Case in point: I've worked for two employers that implemented ALPR at parking lot security gates. One of them did feed license plate data to local police; the idea was that we didn't want anyone with an active warrant (or known trespassers) entering the premises. The cops aren't monitoring shit on their own-- all the surveillance "they" do is outsourced to our employers.
That's right.

The authors operationalized "highly aesthetic quality" and grounded it in composition, lighting, color and contrast, subject and background, and "additional subjective assessments."

There's zero citations in this section related to accessing artistic quality, operationalization, or grounding.

A LOT of programmers are going to hate this, but if you're doing soft-sciences work(which this is), you should be knowledgeable in that area and cite some sources that indicate you've at least considered what you're doing.

The lack of citations in this area is an unknowing admittance of that ignorance. I don't care if they cite a paper just to disagree with it, but to not know that they don't know is simply unacceptable. This is basic undergrad material in other relevant fields.
Same difference. "AI" is just another form of plagiarism.

If the next command in the pipe wants to do something with non-normal output of a command, then yes, it should do something with that. And the command can redirect stderr to stdout with the use of `2>&1`.

Yes. You're unlikely to like my software. I don't recommend you use it.
I agree with this 100%. When people talk about hating YAML, I think a lot of the time they really mean "I hate describing pipelines in YAML". And I get that because I feel it too.

As a file-format, YAML has pros and cons. But the real problem is in trying to use a JSON-equivalent file format to describe things that have conditionals,
loops, functions, and classes/subclasses (by way of templates).

YAML is fine for small configurations. But it grows into a vendor-specific spaghetti mess very quickly, especially once you start to need any kind of control flow.
Do you think that this workplace is the norm or the exception?

Being safe generally speaking requires being proactive - your place seems to be safe. Safetism is - if you follow the rules you can turn your brain off and all will be alright (TSA and the likes). In my experience - the safetism is the predominant attitude in the world.
It's hefty for sure. A very solid phone.

I would have greatly preferred a small phone but the FP was the one that met my other criteria the best. I don't notice the weight much, but it fits large in my hand and pocket. When holding left handed and trying to tap a button on the bottom right (browser tabs) my palm frequently hits the side of the screen.

Comparing to the old Pixel 4 I still have laying around, you would think it's a power bank until you saw the screen.
This is what HN mod-nerdery calls a 'followup dupe' - something that ends up on the front page as a direct consequence of something else that's already on the front page. Since there's only so much front page, you're better off waiting for a less dupey time.
What on earth are you talking about? The entire comment was a slap against “capitalism”, with regards to its treatment of workers and how “capitalist” companies act. I picked a specific bit to question GP on while also commenting on the whole post.

Do you think that’s unfair? Do you think suggesting that capitalism is just about enriching shareholders today is not reductive?

Whether the law makes small businesses less likely to survive (citation needed) is immaterial to the question.
When you're in a specialized on-call role like this you know to expect the unexpected and I surmise they're excellently compensated for this level of knowledge and expertise on the playing field.

It's the same thing with some hospital support teams I've seen in the IT world -- it bewildered me that our EMR vendor wanted to ship someone out next day to drop a replacement hard drive in just because one of the discs that's been mirrored three times over has failed. We'd live with the remaining 3 copies of the same data a little bit longer, but they saw that as a possible safety risk.
This is exactly right. And codeless tends to not have the capability of dealing with complexity very well, meaning architecture is brittle.
Yes. Anybody can create tryout pipeline using Stable Diffusion + inpainting + controlnet. The moat is gone.
IIRC the in-flight infotainment systems are entirely separate from the avionics control systems at the data layer. I recall being told that in some cases even the flight status is actually pulled from a 3p api service rather than hooked into the onboard avionics.

There could be some fuckery via shared power or other non-data systems but that’s probably beyond someone sitting in a seat with standard laptop hardware.
Objects have a resonant frequency and will jiggle in strange ways. The larger the object, the larger the possible jiggles. The larger the jiggles the larger the destruction.
I think I have a solution to keep the peace, if we can all universally respect one rule:

Never use YAML outside of the Python ecosystem.

That way, people who love esoteric scripting formats that prioritize legibility over correctness, durability, and maintainability can keep all their tab characters, loose typing, and cryptic syntax. And the rest of us never have to! Those of us who prefer C-style syntax can keep our sanity.

Edit: OK, I think I've finally got my finger on the crux of the issue here. I think I can't explain this whole thing without being spicy. For C-syntax devs like myself, syntactic whitespace is pure madness. Whitespace is not information or an instruction -- it's formatting. Good formatting is helpful and useful, and good C-syntax devs care about legible formatting. In Python (and YAML), the formatting is instructional information. This has the benefit of making all functional code legible. But why the blazes does code have to be legible to be functional? Imagine working with a YAML coworker. You send them a long message. They reply with, "What? This is nonsense." You suddenly realize your mistake. Without separating your paragraphs with an empty line, you've broken the meaning of what you sent. Adding the empty lines back in and re-sending the chat message, your co-worker can now read what you wrote. Without syntactically-accurate formatting, the information you sent was meaningless.
I'll be curious to see what tactics they (the political block in the West that's acting in quasi concert to enhance domestic espionage capabilities) attempt to use to accomplish it in the US given the enshrined protections we have that Europeans typically lack, which in theory should make it very difficult to censor VPNs here. The logging requirement aspect may end up being the part they can more readily get through in the US (one that will survive freedom of speech etc challenges).
At least you get privacy from Meta.
It's the general consensus at the rock pit that guns should at least be like cars, that "Every State For Himself" gun law is ridiculous, and that tax/law around silencers/full auto/cheap foreign milsurp is silly[1].

This could be the geo area I'm in. Also, we're all quite old. Could also be I always end up in really obscure "ranges", due to the fact that more "normal" commercial ranges have regs against shooting mil-surp. Also, hell, they're expensive.

I still keep my mouth shut about politics (unless prompted) - I'm not an idiot - but no one is freaking out about the usual freak-out subjects, unless it's a new caliber or some Range Character or something like that.

[1] Something that unifies all of that crap into one big license is just better, and if I get cheap import ammo and rifles too? It's a no-brainer - it's less bureaucracy, more fun. I do suspect, however, it's too complex of an idea for Congress to pull off without it getting yoinked into something even stupider. Basically, we need to figure out a way that it makes money for rich people. Also, Democrat leadership - or their committees - will need to learn what a "bolt" is, if they want to effectively legislate on it. The Assault Rifle Bans are King Stupid.
IMO, the overlooked big innovation of Snap, and the thing that got them their initial popularity, was their absolutely arcane interface. They've done a lot over the years to make the app easier to use, but in its early days, there was an almost toy-like quality to trying to figure out the various features and functionality. That acted as a selling point to the teenage demographic: not only did friends showing each other how to access some practically secret part of the app act as viral advertising, it also kept your parents off the app.

It also acted as an overt anti-Facebook, in an era where that was a growing trend: No, and then limited, broadcast communication versus FB's "tell everyone everything" defaults, ephemeral messages in stark contrast to FB's "hey, remember this inane thing you said 3 years ago", and a culture of communicating asynchronously with a face attached.

This (perceived) lack of a panopticon made Snapchat a much more appealing form of social media. IMO, it's still one of the better ones.

A lot of people misinterpret the term "cost center" mean an area of a business that only spends money (e.g. marketing department) but that isn't what it is at all. Probably because it has the word "cost" in it.

A cost center is simply a vessel through which money moves. Revenue, expenses, inventory, etc. all go through cost centers. Sure, the professors' salaries go through a cost center. So does tuition and royalties from TV networks.

> I think "self-serve" analytics is silly, the idea that you put all of the data in front of people and they'll derive "insights".

In my experience, what "self-serve" really means is "non-developer". The end user won't build it, they'll have a BA do it. But it does mean they don't need IT to help.
Ha! I've used a high-end GPS to see my location and other fun facts in flight. I learned to keep it in my pocket as despite my attempts to explain it was only a receiver, I was told by the flight attendant to "PUT IT AWAY." Not being one to push back as to be removed for that flight, I did just that.

Streets and Trips was fun on a laptop for long car drives as you could live reroute in the car much like any old app can do these days but seemed somehow magical back then.
Serious, directly measurable money for the school.

> if you have to glue together multiple unfamiliar APIs and packages, maybe even seeing a couple new ones per day, you often throw away your code,...

Maybe take the time to be familiar with them? I think that is a description of an unhealthy job. It's like asking an average mechanic to handle optimizing for an f1 car in day 1, then asking him to improve the endurance of a rally car the next day! Then telling them the main point is to market the sponsors, so no need to be perfect.
They say that there’s long and variable lag between the monetary policy being made and its effects on the economy.

Soon after they started hiking the rates there were some of the biggest bank failures in US history which amounted to nothing much because they basically hit snooze on it by effectively promising to back 100% of deposits well above the FDIC threshold. Supposedly this measure runs out in a year from when it was made.

I’m not going to try and predict what and when exactly is going to happen. If you like lines and extrapolation, you can go to the St Louis fed website and plot yield curve inversion and effective fed rate.
EdgeDB co-founder here, happy to chat! :)
When my son was younger - maybe 9 or 10 or so, we were on a plane and he was using his phone and I looked over his shoulder and realized he was on the internet... but I hadn't paid for an internet plan. I said, "son, how are you using the internet?" He said, "oh, a kid at school showed me - if you go here" (he opened up the wifi settings where the DHCP assigned IP address is) "and start changing the numbers, eventually the internet will work." Apparently, at the time, on American Airlines, when somebody bought and paid for an internet plan, it gave them an IP address and authorized it to use the internet... if somebody else guessed your IP address (which was pretty easy, it was a 192.168 address) and spoofed it, they could take over your internet connection with no further authorization.

I had to tell him not to do that, but I was kind of proud of him for having the temerity to go for it.
Many years ago, I noticed I could browse the Google Play Store on a flight WiFi without paying for it. No images would load and no apps would download, but I could browse through app listings and read reviews.

Would this be related to DNS?
Many do but some don't. I wrote an HTTP Proxy for Telegram and it works fine for those situations but is very slow. I prefer using an NNCP proxy I wrote because the protocol doesn't have online liveness requirements.
Even the financial paradise aspect is exploitative. Every country in the world has reporting and transparency requirements so billionaires can’t just silently stack wealth and skip paying taxes but we’re going to be the one place that says, fuck everyone, we have no morals or ethical concerns, put your money here. I don’t know the laws on the ground but you probably won’t be able to referendum away massive, global corporations.
You cant access these in flight APIs in exactly the same way as you can while on the plane, but the same information can be found for almost all flight in the air that use ADS-B, and there are many services that offer this as an API[1]

I guess that depends on the definition of a glacier. If the ice/snow completely melts then I assume that would count as 100%. Even if it is replenished the following winter, if it all melts again the following summer then I don't think anyone would call that a glacier.
I may or may not have known someone who wrote a shell script with the linux BO client to reset Windows machines' home pages to a porn site that paid a dollar for every unique clickthrough in IP ranges that were in specific foreign countries.

This person might have earned several hundred dollars each month for several months afterward. But opening their cdrom tray could have been fun too. He probably wishes he had thought of that.
A another feather in Apple's cap of woes, my issues with apple are:

1) Overpriced: While some Apple products outperform others, many are just pricey status symbols.

2) Walled Ecosystem: It's a no-go for developers. Why can't I write a simple program and run it on my phone without jumping through hoops?

3) Fragility: Apple could make their devices more durable without increasing costs. Instead, they opt for fragile designs that aren't easily repairable.

Honestly, it's like they're begging for a downfall and Id short their stock if I could.
It's like saying "That's already done" when undertaking to do a task, as a sort of guarantee, asking for the thing to be considered done, similar to "consider it done".

These sort of client/server game streaming systems are great modern alternatives to something like RDP. They take advantage of hardware accelerated h264 encoding to get fast video/audio transmission with fast input mapping.

To me these seem like more modern, simpler alternatives to older remote desktop protocols as they are designed around modern hardware and one of the most demanding use cases, gaming. Seems like an easy win to me. RDP does have more features, but they seem mostly for niche/side things.

Vaporizing at 18 C produces vapor at 18 C, vaporizing at 100 C produces vapor at 100 C. Once you account for cooling the vapor back down to ambient temperature (specific heat pretty close to constant varying from 1.86 to 1.89 kJ/(kg.K) from 18 to 100 C) you get the same amount.

You use the cold incoming water to condense the hot vapor, thus pre-heating it prior to distillation. You get out all the heat you put in, the issue is that vapor has higher entropy than liquid water so you can't use that heat efficiently enough to vaporize the same quantity of water. That's in the efficiency term we are handwaving away.

SIDS is intended as a diagnosis of last resort but is often used with little digging so it's not really any different than the case this article discusses, except with the opposite result. I never demanded that doctors start doing something different but I think it's pretty obvious we're just collectively leaving some stones unturned here.
Well yeah. From the article:

> In 1978, a Boeing AOG team repaired the bulkhead of a Japan Airlines 747 damaged in a tail-drag incident. Seven years later, the repair failed in flight, resulting in an explosive depressurization that tore off the vertical fin and severed all hydraulics systems. Some 30 minutes later, the aircraft slammed into a mountainside; 520 people died in the second worst airline disaster in history. Investigators determined that the AOG repair did not comply with Boeing’s own Structural Repair Manual. Boeing accepted 80 percent of the liability for the crash, while JAL accepted the remainder for neglecting signs that the repaired bulkhead was weakening.

You countered your own argument: Radium was never safe, it was just deemed safe because FAAFO was in fashion.
