For light sensitivity there's an Arducam IMX482 MIPI module. Unfortunately you don't have a lot of control over it and can't take long exposures, but it's probably fine for HD video. Every other cheap low-light module I've seen is hobbled in some crucial way, either at the hardware level or drivers.
Thank you for your work! :)
My take full of unpopular opinions about having 1:1s as an Engineering Manager. I'd be interested to know wdyt.
First post on HN! And apprehensive to say all this but here goes.

My tinnitus is triggered upon exposure to EMFs, both household, low frequency EMFs and now from higher band frequency from cell towers. My tinnitus made its' first appearance in 1998 when I was a network engineer and was messing around with WiFi. I did not know EMFs were the cause at that time. But gradually the sound got worse, but would always come and go. (Loud, high pitched, mostly left ear, sometimes I get a muffled pop and then a really loud ringing that tapers off to the normal level.) I also now have physician confirmed hearing loss in my left ear.

I first discovered the EMF connection around 2016 when I went camping in the desert and my tinnitus totally disappeared. We were so remote none of us had any cell signal. I still did not realize it was EMFs but at that point I knew there was an environmental connection. It was only after a few years in experimenting that I found the cause. I traveled up toe Green Bank, WV which is a radio free zone with no cell signals allowed and my tinnitus vanished.

Why I think this is happening to me is that the EMFs affect the voltage gated ion channels (Potassium?[1], Calcium [2]), in the ear stimulating the neurons [3][4]. I think this is a genetic condition caused my some sort of channelopathy [5] that runs in my family.

I use my cell phone on my left as well which would make sense that it is mostly in my left ear.

But ever since the 5G roll out things have become terrible for me. Much louder an more frequency in certain places.

I am not saying what I have here is proof, and this is the cause of everyone's tinnitus. But my experience is that mine stops every time I am away from Anthropogenic EMFs.

And please, no tinfoil hat jokes or Better Call Saul references, I heard them all.

I wasn't really advocating for it, I just think if we were crazy enough to adopt this time system, 10 time zones would also be a necessary adjustment.

You're using slacktivism as cover for bad behavior. I'm not saying that IP laws aren't f'd up and wrong. They absolutely are.

But two wrongs don't make a right, and it's the same nonsense that folks have been making since the beginning of the internet to justify what amounts to petty theft.
One reason would be massively reduced syntax overhead and better readability. I've seen plenty of XML files where XML syntax makes up more than 50% of the file's content, and trying to read the actual content is tedious. Now JSON isn't ideal either - technically you could get rid of all commas, colons, and the quotes around most keys - but I sure prefer `{"foo": "some \"stuff\""}` over something like `<foo><![CDATA[some <stuff>]]></foo>`
Did you contribute to open source in those days? I did a little (KDE patches to mailing lists before I got Subversion access) and: it was _awful_.

You think merging/rebasing/resolving conflicts is a pain now? Doing the same thing via email was _so_ much worse.

GitHub has made some parts of open source worse (e.g. how easy it is to now open poor issues while ignoring required information compared to Bugzilla) but the contribution side is so much nicer now.

So a microday is 1/100 of a milliday? That clashes with the SI prefixes, where micro is 1/1000 of milli.

When following SI, a microday would be 0.0864 (or approximately 0.1 second) which doesn't seem to be a very practical unit.
E.g. GCC does it by mail.
Still quite inexact.

Sega released Saturn as a full fledged, 3D focused hardware. A year before the PlayStation 1 was out.

Some chronological refresher:

Sega had already been successful in making arcade 3D games and were the first to effectively transition true 3D to the home markets with multiple early flagship releases such as Virtual Fighter, beautifully ported to the home console.

The reason not many decent 3D games were shipped on Saturn was not down to the hardware capabilities or goal from sega to embrace expected 3D market demands.
It was rather due to the horrific developer experience. It was so terribly difficult to program it, only those at sega were comfortable with it, if that.

Saturn's hardware architecture complexity, having multiple CPUs, and other design aspects prove bad choice as it jeopardised 3rd party game developers productivity. Words were that most games shipped leveraging a single CPU given how obscure dual cpu programming was.

Ironically Sega designed a more powerful machine than the PS1 and got it out a whole year earlier, yet games on PS1 were significantly superior. All down to ease of development.

Wipeout was an early game on PS1 and indeed among many other popular games sealed the fact home gaming would be 3D. But sega had already produced a full fledged 3D capable Saturn, they didn't wait to see wipeout in 1995/1996, or Mario 64 another 2 years later.
Saturn was capable of running wipeout 2097, metal gear solid, grand tourismo, and other late PS1 games that pushed the ps1 to its limits. But it missed the momentum and studios were not anymore invested in the saturn. Its marketshare kept shrinking.

what the Dreamcast got added was primarily developer friendly features, the rest was simply leaps forward in compute power, especially on the GPU. Bump mapping if I'm not mistaken was supported by the Dreamcast first among home consoles. It was not "added" 3D, for sega that was its 2nd generation of 3D focused hardware, also their 2nd attempt, both ultimately failed for different reasons.

But then what's the point of the study? DNA has a half life of 500 years except when it doesn't? If they say 500 years and then you can retrieve DNA from samples 1000 times as old, who's to say they can't go further by another factor of 100?
Indeed. For me just the sound and the speed is enough but that doesn’t translate to TV well.

NASCAR is a funny sport in that it was built around a particular technology around a particular time. The level of innovation the mechanics came up with really drive the sport. But the ICE is in many ways at end of life and it’s obvious they’ll be extinct in 30 years. So I suppose the sport has to evolve itself somehow.
AFAIK when there is not enough external sound input, the brain amplifies the signals from the inner ear in an attempt to compensate which leads to hyperactivity in the auditory nerve and auditory cortex, which can be perceived as tinnitus. So you cannot cancel a 'signal' that doesn't exist. This is my understanding and I may be wrong.
In which cases is it legal?
There is no permanent relief or treatment. Lots of snake oil.

That's not what this recent book [1] says, at all. In Ducth, but [2] is a translation of the main point in an interview. As far as I'm aware, this guy is rather far away from snake oil. What is true though is that not all audiologists are caught up yet. Which is a bit weird because I already read about multidisciplinary approach working a couple of years ago IIRC. Which does obviously not mean it works for everyone, but also not 'there is no permanent relief'.

[1] Bart Vinck: Tinnitus, een schaduw van geluid

[2]
Can tinnitus disappear completely?

"Absolutely, it happens very often. It's to say: we all hear sounds in our heads, only we don't experience them consciously. After all, the brain forgets sounds that are not relevant, just like I don't feel the glasses I'm wearing now.

"Our brain does nothing but sort out stimuli: this is important, that is not important. Logical too, otherwise we would go crazy with all the stimuli constantly coming in.

"My message is not to learn to live with that beep, but to train your brain to classify that sound as harmless, allowing you to forget about it. Feel free to call it an auditory reset of your brain."
What does such a treatment look like?

"It has been proven that a multidisciplinary approach works well. Through an intense therapy bath, we try to reset the brain so that that beep or squawk is no longer threatening: patients receive 20 hours of therapy over four days.

"You also have to find other ways to vent tension and take care of yourself. Physiotherapists and osteopaths additionally work on the physical problems. Our patients often suffer from other psychosomatic complaints: they clench their jaws or have tense neck and shoulder muscles.

"Some 96 percent of our patients report afterwards that the impact of the tinnitus has been greatly reduced. Unfortunately, psychotherapy is barely reimbursed."
No, LSP describes what information to present in the editor. For example, Inlay Hints. The user might want to see the type of every inferred variable, or just inferred return types of functions, or nothing at all. LSP needs to consider the user config and only send the info that should be displayed.
There are a lot of different types of intelligence. I have met many brilliant developers that made horrible managers. And I have met many developers that we joked they moved to management to protect the codebase, that turned out to be great managers. That is a good point though, that many jobs don't have paths into managing those same jobs.
Metric time is a better name, since it states that this time comes naturally from our common metric system, and something is very very off that we don't use it.

I feel it's an error to use the same names in the two systems. The values are different, it would be much less confusing to use names that are clearly different too.
> The actual market's choice is hard to fake. It's people voting with their dollars

I'm not saying it's being faked, I'm saying it's wrong to allow it when it goes against the best interest of the many, or worse, us as humanity as a whole.

People vote with their dollars by buying cheap crap to eat every day, and manufacturers save a ton of money pumping that crap out instead of nutritious food. That doesn't mean it's good or should be encouraged, or even tolerated.

The market is not god.
I've had similar thoughts, but I think its more to do with what is in your head at the time you hear about it. I found permutation tests satisfying to learn about because they somehow helped consolidate what I knew from distribution theory. If I didn't know any distribution theory prior, I'm not sure they could have that effect.

If you study mathematical statistics, it is not taught as a cookbook. At the elementary level you learn probability theory and distribution theory, all the different distributions, hypothesis tests, regression, ANOVA and so on proceed from there. Meanwhile, I think research scientists are often taught statistics as a set of recipes because its usually a short course for a specific discipline. E.g. Statistics for biologists.

It all depends how you come to know the thing, no? If you can infer something from public information others haven't, then bully for you.

I'm pretty sure that if that information is not public, then you're liable. IANAL though so I may be wrong.

XML has superset defined functionality of standardised schemas, transformations and query. The same is not true for s-expressions.

If you ever wire a loudspeaker channel the wrong way around, it feels very weird as a lot (but not all for a stereo mix) of the sound will cancel with the other channel in the middle of the speakers and you can move your head through this dead zone.

I've never tried it with headphones, but I suppose even though destructive addition isn't going to happen it might affect things like intended spatial perception.

Yeah, because 2^1^0 is 2^(1^0). Caret notation is a bad fit for nested exponents. Also your parentheses are unbalanced.
I always had the feeling that I'd love decimal time, but seeing it on a clock, I absolutely love it. Especially that it is called metric time, since it is not just decimal, but it is the natural time system in our metric system, which we doesn't use bc of inertia, but that can and should change.
When a process does, its children are reparented to init, not to its parent. So the grandparent can do nothing.
No. The given the author's background, this is (admittedly) clever technical thinking done under the guise of making a legal/political statement. Plenty of other ways to solve this problem besides fake 'good intentions' slacktivism.
You do you know that one of Obama's campaign promises was to pass a law explicitly allowing abortions? At which point it wouldn't matter what Roe vs Wade decided because there's an actual law on the books now.

This would be like Clark Kent was telling some kid not to play on the guard rails on a bridge and then the kid fell off. Except that now Superman was too slow to react and didn't save the kid. Don't be blaming Superman (Supreme Court); the problem should've be nipped in the bud earlier (Congress).
What's often missing from these introductions is when statistics will not work; and what it even means when it "works". The amount of data needed to tell between two normal is about 30 data points -- between two power-law distributions, >trillion. (And this basically scuppers the central limit theorem, on which a lot of cargo-cult stats is justified).

Stats, imv, should be taught simulation-first: code up your hypotheses and see if they're even testable. Many many projects would immediately fail at the research stage.

Next, know that predictions are almost never a good goal. Almost everything is practically unpredictable -- with a near infinite number of relevant causes, uncontrollable.

At best, in ideal cases, you can use stats to model a distribution of predictions and then determine a risk/value across that range. Ie., the goal isnt to predict anything but to prescribe some action (or inference) according to a risk tolerance (risk of error, or financial risk, etc.).

It seems a generation of people have half-learned bits of stats, glued them together, and created widespread 'statistical cargo-cultism'.

The lesson of stats isnt hypothesis testing, but how almost no hypotheses are testable -- and then what do you do

I appreciate the effort here, but after learning the workflow and having to get all this set up on a few computers, having to configure git send-mail is honestly just needlessly annoying and absurd.

Organizations that insist on using workflows like git send-mail and mailing lists not only drive away a significant number of potential contributors, but they also form a weirdly religious culture that fetishizes needlessly painful process and is incapable of improvement
Real life usually works best IME.
Neutral activity itself definitely takes phase into account somehow, since you can hear the phase difference of two same-frequency tones being played independently into each ear, without any kind of sufficiently strong mechanical connection that would explain it.

People do adopt other systems, feel that utilitarianism must be “wrong” for whatever reason, get research grants from people who agree, and produce incredibly unimpressive work.

What basic principles are you thinking of? Even more basic than hedonism, consequentialism, etc.?

Weighing is just one of critiques against utilitarianism, and it’s a valid one. Maybe the extreme happiness of one person isn’t worth mild suffering of 5 people. But pretending that this upends the entirety of this moral framework, and not one of its building blocks (basically the aggregation function) is kinda silly.
You claim yourself that "I have not delved very much into depth" yet you make a lot of assumptions here. Here are the key facts, the `_by` functions that contain the complex exception handling stuff are only used for tests and the benchmark ones are as native as possible e.g. `std::sort(data, data + len)`. I pick either gcc or clang based on what gives better performance, and use these settings with the cc crate https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/b131ed61... plus sort specific options. It all gets statically linked into one big binary. Also note the C++ code is header only, so one big translation unit per sort. The only disadvantage based on me looking at the generated asm is one additional function call versus possible inlining for the initial part of the sort. This adds a total of ~20 or less cycles to the total time, which in the benchmark is measured in microseconds, where 1 microsecond is ~4900 cycles.

Just to be clear: you'd expect PhD students to be trained in reviewing by their supervisors.

So PhD students writing the initial review is not weird - it is an expected part of their training. As is the supervisor going over the review and providing constructive feedback. As is the review being submitted under the supervisor's responsibility, with credits (mention in proceedings) to the student for acting as a subreviewer.

I still like Twitter and I see no reason to change. At least with the current algorithm, I'm not seeing any of the questionable content people keep talking about. I actually see more low quality content being pushed to me on Youtube than on Twitter.
I probably phrased my question poorly. Why would I use a tool which is not or poorly maintained for a probably already outdated version of a specs, when I can use something else, that has been used for years by countless companies in productions? The advantages must be huge. And I don't know what they are.

OpenAPI is another example. There are threads on hacker news about generating code from OpenAPI specs. These always seem to say "oh, yes don't use tool X, use tool Y it does not have that problem, although it also doesn't support Z". The consensus seems to be to not generate code from an OpenAPI specification but to just use it as documentation, since all generators are more or less broken. Contrast that with for example JAXB (which is not an exact replacement I know), which has been battle tested for years.

These things are great if they add value for you, but I would be very skeptical of any non-mathematical approach to statistics. I think statistics is only made clear by mathematics, much the same as Physics. And one cannot grasp statistics without being able to understand the maths.

I think that still the best way to understand statistics is to start with the mathematical theory and to grind 1000+ textbook problems.

> You think merging/rebasing/resolving conflicts is a pain now? Doing the same thing via email was _so_ much worse.

Email is just used to receive the patch, you should use a tool meant for the job to actually do the merge. I realize that is probably not what you meant though. Besides, when email patching first began, the tooling was in its infancy.

However; today tools like the git cli itself, or magit + smerge-mode (my personal preference) are as good as GitHub, if not better. I never actually use GitHub for merging, even when working on projects hosted in GitHub.
