iOS may have that as well. I think it’s part of that same photo picker interface.

But that’s not what I was imagining. I was thinking of something in the system that did the QR code scanning for you so that you could just point the camera and as soon as it recognized one the app would get the data. That way the user doesn’t have to frame it and take the picture and select that it’s OK to use in the app.

That’s how adding HomeKit devices work. You hit the add device button in the Home app and a view of the camera comes up. The instant it sees one of the HomeKit QR codes it goes away and starts doing its thing. It’s a great user experience.

But third parties can’t do that without requesting camera access first to get access to the live camera view. A system library could provide it.
Mindustry is close, for me.
Guess I'll cite my sources, huh? https://youtu.be/6z4rhBKTT5U?si=LAieHjZIPzkQ2S8F Short version: he shows satellite photos consistent with progressive damage to the dam (likely due to poor maintenance), especially near the collapse point, in the months prior to the collapse. The evidence seems difficult to fake with too high a risk/reward, and his argument from that evidence is cogent without overreaching like someone who was trying to be sensationalist.

He also casts a bit of doubt on the Norwegian seismic detection claim (claim: heavy duty explosives plus a collapse should have produced two distinct bumps, while the trace only shows one), but I definitely remembered wrong on that particular point.

Which is not uncommon for the LF, and why I doubt they were ever the right place to host this.

Ironically the reason the LF came into existence was IIRC "get Linus a steady paycheck", perilously close to this failed CII.
Mixed blessing though. While back I was trying to host a game (I think Terraria) . I had done it on my old ISP but not my new one. For the life of me I couldn't connect.

That's when I learned about CGNAT. At first I was kinda ticked (ended up using free tier NGrok which worked great). Now I'm kinda happy because it makes my home network rather difficult to get to from the outside which is a security feature I think I like better than the freedom.

> Also, please help me understand where I have access to free parking on public land. Cettainly not at the airport or downtown streets in large cities.

... Are you seriously trying to claim that you've never seen free street parking anywhere? The vast majority of parking everywhere in the country is unmetered. That's tax money paying for car storage. Cherry picking an airport is absolutely disingenuous and a bad faith argument.
Interesting. Are there any other worthwhile recent papers on using LLMs to improve computer vision?
They're not monotheist - one god down is hardly enough.

You can make a game with custom settings and increase both the frequency and size/depth of ore fields, which makes that a lot less frustrating. There's still plenty to build even if you deemphasize the exploration portion (which wasn't my favorite either).
They are, but they are a bit backlogged on what exactly they need to do.

Part of the issue is that New York is so old it runs a combined sewer/storm drain system. Modern practice is to separate the two since the former needs to be treated and the latter generally doesn't, but when they're combined the outflows overwhelm the sewage system and then that's how you get backed up sewage, sewage emergency discharge into the harbor, etc.

Actually separating the two is quite difficult. On the one hand that means requiring building owners to separate and plug into a new system. Then you run into the fact that in New York 170+ years of haphazardly planned utilities by multiple public and private actors means there is no accurate map of where exactly things are underground, which makes building a new system going under every street expensive and full of legal issues. (The city has been trying to get a handle on this problem for years but doesn't get a lot of cooperation since a lot of these entities treat the location of their stuff underground as trade secrets, if they even have accurate information themselves.)

Right now, the projects taking up most of their time are

* the construction of Water Tunnel no. 3, since the other two tunnels that deliver all the water to NYC have never been shut down for inspection at any point in their 100+ year lives and can't be unless a backup tunnel exists

* lead pipe remediation, because there's still a lot of it.
For Wait-Or-Die, do you really need to fetch_and_add to get a transaction ID? Do you need a transaction ID at all? It sounds like the goal is just to have an arbitrary-but-consistent ordering of active transactions so that different transactions can agree on who should wait and who should die in the event of a conflict. So why not just use the thread ID? Or even a random number might work (if ties are treated as “die”, so the worst that happens is that both transactions unnecessarily abort, and then retry with new random numbers).

While it’s not mentioned, I suppose you want to prioritize older transactions in order to prevent long-running transactions from being starved by shorter-running transactions. (If one long transaction conflicts with an average of, say, three short transactions, and on each conflict it’s effectively random who wins, then each long transaction has only a 1/8 chance of winning all three conflicts and being able to commit.)

But preventing starvation only requires older transactions to be prioritized most of the time, not every single time, especially not if the transaction is only slightly older. So some kind of timestamp / cycle counter should work fine, even if there’s skew between threads or other sources of inaccuracy. Ties could be broken by thread ID, or again by having both sides abort.
SNI monitoring is a reasonable compromise, and I think a healthy one: Your ISP doesn't need to deep inspect your traffic to Microsoft because it accepts that Microsoft is doing something reasonable with it. It allows delegating authority which at least gives a path for investigation or blocking if necessary without seeking an extreme amount of transient information.

I would say if ECH is implemented the correct response would unfortunately be to MITM it if too many providers implement it to just block it entirely. I suspect large companies won't force it to maintain a wide customer base, and again, any reasonable network operator should just block anyone who does.

ISPs absolutely have all sorts of regulatory needs and network performance reasons to classify traffic. It's an unpopular view, but it's reality. (And I would encourage you to investigate who pays the people telling you otherwise, before someone links Mike Masnick here.)
In the distant past, there was this NSF-funded geometry center in Minneapolis. There was a computational group theory conference (these guys are over the top) and they invited a few mascots from neighboring fields. I had written a system for algebraic geometry, and got an invite. I'd get up really early in the -20F cold to insure a Silicon Graphics workstation for the day, and set about coding a game to better understand group generators and relations.

It involved dragging.

I loved the 2am conversations that resulted. My idea was that dragging need not respect real-world physics. Dragging should feel like a great tab of acid. And everyone was into this, everyone had ideas.
Yeah, nearly had a heart attack when I opened up the article and saw the company that posted it. I wonder how many people clicked on the ads hoping to see porn?
I still find it hilarious that that’s how the old cable worked, the iPhone encoded an H.264 video stream and sent it to the dongle, which decoded it and sent it down HDMI.

Now that iPhones have USB-C they no longer need a custom adapter. A standard USB-C to HDMI cable is supposed to work. I believe.
A rinse generally does the trick and you can get a dishwasher safe French press. So far the coffee grounds have been kind to my garbage disposal.
My iPhone looks like that because you have to manually interact with or swipe to clear notifications to remove them
from the stack. And usually I get all the information I need by looking at the preview.

I recommend turning off most notifications in the settings except the ones you absolutely need for your work and family. iOS has a pretty good level of granularity.

You know this view is wrong. You can argue the children working in mines in various countries is "fine" then with that argument.

No.
In the grand scheme of things, this type of mission wouldn't cost that much, but so far, nobody has made the decision that making sure Earth doesn't get hit by an asteroid is worth an investment of a few hundred million dollars.

Late last year, NASA approved development of NEO Surveyor, an infrared telescope that will search for near-Earth objects from Sun-Earth L1. NASA estimates that it will launch in 2028 and cost $1.2 billion.

> If we take away this last resort from governments, they would react by enforcing client side blocklisting and DRMization as suggested in France[2], or force root certificate installation using legislation[3], or blocking large swathes of the internet as is the case with China.

Not every government has the leverage, capability or power to do this. Client side blacklisting will be trivially circumvented if it actually goes into effect. The browser vendors all rejected the proposed Kazakh root certificate. And plenty of countries with pervasive Internet censorship don't have enough of a "domestic internet" to block large numbers of websites without a lot of people getting upset.
One of my great sadnesses about the long term support of FOSS was that the great redhat experiment of letting open source contributors into the IPO´s strike price, has never been repeated. For a tiny amount of re-investment into the commons like this, it would have been a better, far less scary and undermaintained world.

I really felt then, that misunderstood, and underappreciated, complicated, dedicated creators of really great code, would have a floor under them from all the companies that used it and did not understand it.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/late-ipo-change-left...

RHAT going public and sharing the IPO strike prices with the devs they based their success on, was a great day for the prospect of an indirect financial return on years of craftsmanship and care.

I hope one day, the idea finds new life.
Is this supposed to be a joke? If so it’s not a very good one. How much do you know about Hawaiian beliefs? You seem to assume Hawaiian culture is based on a monotheistic religion but that’s not the only option and certainly not required for a site to be considered culturally sacred.
I really think that we're just doing society wrong, and that everyone should be afforded the opportunity to live without income. In such a world, we could have way more of these "load bearing" people who are doing just fine without needing to extract anything from the economy. This makes it much easier for parts of the economy to be less parasitic, as large groups could work on projects that provide value without feeling the need to hamstring those projects with value-extraction systems. Often those value extraction systems really sharply impact the value of the thing on offer, meaning that an economy comprised of projects which all have to extract value could be much more poorly performing than an economy comprised of projects which can offer much more for free. The resulting boost in economic output could I believe pay for the support system such a system would require.
> Whereas if we set a federal minimum wage of $25/hr (current inflation adjusted), it will have disastrous downstream consequences

You seem very certain of this.

You simply don't care that many other countries around the world have done it for decades with good outcomes?

For some unexplained reason, the US (which you yourself said is the richest country on earth) is different and the results will be disastrous in the US while they are not elsewhere?

I honestly think you're not seeing the big picture. If minimum wage goes up and gets pegged to inflation, low-income earners will simply take home a bigger portion of the enormous wealth that is created in the US. The richest class will take home less. That is precisely what happens in at least 20 other developed countries around the world, with excellent results. There are very few wildly rich people, and there are very few wildly poor people. Mostly everyone is in the middle.

The US could do exactly the same thing with exactly the same results, you just don't want to, because you're happy for a class of people to exist that barely survive to serve you.

Totally agree with that, the first time an app sends me an ad/nag disguised as a notification, it gets blackholed.

Related, I really like the notification summary feature of iOS - it delays showing you a notification and rolls all them up into a summary every (configurable) N hours. You can exclude priority apps e.g. a messenger you know you want realtime notifs from.

Accidental zero value enums are a constant plague as far as I've seen. Almost any defense is worth it.
I also agree that there's something off in the graphics department. Although looking across all the images, it's only in the diamond crossing that the illusion is horribly broken. The railings are mostly doing a good job of differentiating between the height levels, but if a junction is complex enough that the railings disappear for a significant portion of it, the differentiation is lost.

OTOH, the diamond junction is an incredibly zoomed-in shot, so maybe we're overestimating from one picture the size of the portion without railings.
I'm glad you found it useful :-)

The other useful resource I will mention is "soulseek" (https://www.slsknet.org/news/) which is basically old-school direct downloads, and includes a lot of obscure music that you won't find on AppleMusic/Spotify.

When I visited Arecibo [...], the intern giving me a tour told me that Arecibo was essentially the main way we had to detect asteroids that might hit earth.

Arecibo wasn't used for detecting asteroids—it was used to characterize asteroids that were detected by other means. Arecibo observed asteroids via radar. The power necessary for a radar observation goes up very quickly with distance to the target (proportional to distance to the fourth power), so radar would generally be a poor choice for hunting for asteroids.
Mindustry has a certain elegance to it and also the multiplayer aspect is really cool. Griefing can cause a lot of issues though unless they solved that since I played a few years ago - a single misplaced ore will clog a line and its easy for someone to silently sabotage.

This is not to say that all ETFs work this way. I believe Xetra is one example of being fully physically backed. But this naturally increases running cost due to storage. Last i checked i believe you pay in the rough region of 0.1% a year in storage cost at the reputable physical gold bullion storage sites as a large customers (tons / room). That sums up. This also explains why physical copper is not something you can easily invest in.

But again, this kind of misses the point, i would really appreciate a definition of paper differing from backed by derivatives. I think you might be onto something here, i ran into this argument a few times now so i believe i might be missing something.

I would also like to reiterate that i do not share the conclusion the initial post made about run away gold prices. I elaborated on that in the other posts.

Sorry for the late edits, had to double check the numbers.
There was a subreddit called something like r/bubbling where people would edit pictures of women in bikinis and actually cover more of the image, but in such a way that your brain was fooled into completing the image and seeing a nude woman. I thought it was a technical marvel, however creepy.
Its been a while since I last played but there was very little minecraft style ore searching and that was on a railworld setup, which has fewer but richer ore patches. Part of that may have been the radars I put down whenever I placed defensive turrets, not only do they scan the map for you but they give you mapsight (when you zoom in enough it stops being a symbolic representation and starts being game graphics). Its very helpful for telling if a biter attack is serious or referencing a layout on the other side of your factory that you want to repeat, and I think its nicer that the map scanning occurs almost as a side effect of that immediate tangible benefit.

You can also muck with the world generation and make patches much richer and much more frequent. And I don't mean that like 'you can turn the difficulty down', its really more like increasing or decreasing emphasis on an aspect of the game to suit your preferences.

I have felt what you express about minecraft so I wanted to chip in my 2c, because it would be a shame if you missed out on factorio due to weird mapgen or the like.
The energy cost to run more than a few is prohibitive though. I prefer to research cars and then go driving, but that’s a very different sort of gameplay (eg twitchy rapid steering to avoid collisions at speed)
I find it interesting that “distributed” and “concurrent” end up falling under the mathematical concept of nondeterminism with respect to correctness. Of course a practically efficient implementation has additional concerns.
With the 3 and newer you can boot from USB drives instead of SD cards. It’s a bit of a faff to set up but it works great.

The competition for giant Arecibo-like telescopes is arrays, and since their cross section goes to zero as you turn them towards the horizon (straight up and they're spaced out, from the horizon they're in a line), they are limited within some reasonable range of the zenith as well.

There is an even sadder backstory to the whole LF thing, and the time it got created and sucked the air out of the room. I wish we had found a way to get this idea off the ground, and established the academic and early response institution we dreamed of.
