There are a minimum of two colors at play in a photograph: the color of the object, and the color of the light. Picking a color from a photograph is always an average of these two colors and any other interacting factors. When you place a color on a canvas, how it looks depends on the surrounding colors (look up simultaneous contrast for an interesting example).

This is not about how a painting looks online, this is about how the painting itself comes out.

Unfortunately, even well-known college art programs are not always rigorous in teaching theory. Art education is also a far different subject than being an artist. Bad habits are easy to create, and this app encourages shortcuts that create bad habits.

Do people who say that sort of thing work for a company that they believe is totally worthless? Work can still be valuable (to one's community even) if someone else is making money from it.
>not a single one has anything to do with its accuracy of understanding its surroundings.

This has been my gripe for a long time. I feel like many in tech have conflated two problems. With current software the problem of perception (ie "understanding its surroundings") is largely solved*, but this shouldn't be conflated with the much more difficult problem of self-driving.

*for sure, there have been issues with perception. A glaring example is the Uber fatality in AZ.

Sure, but that could e.g. be through direct conquest, rather than waiting for a leader to convert. Which is pretty unlikely to happen, given leaders like the status quo that ushered them in.
No benevolence at all, pretty much the opposite. That's my point since the beginning.
> Furthermore, simple grammar is only superficial, and the new algebra will actually bring performance improvements. For example, using ordered grouping instead of hash grouping, using merge instead of hash when associating, and so on.

Again, there appears to be disconnect with regard to SQL. SQL does not specify ordered vs hash grouping nor merge instead of hash. That is an engine implementation detail and only touched upon in DDL (schema declaration).

The query side of SQL (DML) does not specify index or grouping strategies. At all. One bit. By design.

Got a reference to a table on a different server—or even a different geographic location? Doesn't matter. The SQL query doesn't change. Local or remote, physical or virtual, reactive or static, the query language doesn't change.

It would be interesting to try to draw parallels with other complex systems.

e.g. Is the percentage of mass or resource allocation to a body's immune system similar to that devoted to a nation state's military and police force? Do all complex systems naturally normalize on a similar percentage devoted to defense that maximizes resources going to non defense productivity without leaving the system too vulnerable to attack?

Is this already a formalized area of study?
This could really use some examples.

So the main gist is: "a collection of sets whose pairwise intersection is constant."

So 100 sets that all have different elements would be a sunflower since their intersection is constant (empty)? And 100 sets that all contain some unique elements and some shared across all would be a sunflower, but as soon as some sets share an element that a third doesn't, then not? And two sets would _always_ be a sunflower?

Or is the meaning of "constant pairwise intersection" something else?

Makes sense. Signs of human life in Bob Ross paintings come down to one person in one painting, and IIRC one instance of smoke coming out of a cabin chimney.

A ninja battle in the style of Bob Ross is going to be some trees and mountains while the ninja battle is assumed to be happening out of view on the other side of it.

I agree that driverless cars are very stupid technology compared to an investment in public transport. All the money wasted on this ridiculous idea is staggering.

They could have plopped more tubes on rails that require nowhere close to this level of software and hardware difficulty and decongested roads at the same time.

The invention of the personal automobile was largely a mistake and this just continues to double down.

We should be moving away from cities designed for cars, not further toward it.
Not necessarily. I've done hundreds of interviews and other than some more invasive questions, I answer as truthfully as I can without spending 20 minutes going in-depth.

The real problem is that some will lie to you and you don't know if your interviewer is one of those. So you do need to try to verify at least some of what was said.
Does this determinism extend to floating point computations? This has historically been a pain point with multiplayer games where the client state has to be periodically re-synced with the server state due to slowly accumulating drift in floating point calculations.
I think that I am on the banks side. The name they have in their database represents you, the person, this is the same concept as the account number that represents you. If the character set they use is unable to handle the characters you normally use, they will substitute characters to get as close as they can.

As an extreme example, say I go to japan where the restaurant owner dutifully writes my name down as "ソマット" should I get angry because it is not in latin characters?
The thing is, the capabilities are not likely to be a strict superset of a human's.

So, if you make it have the same aggressiveness on "average" by having it take advantage of its superior capabilities, those situations are going to feel sketchy to a person.
Commonplace books, reading reflection, daily log, zettelkasten are all alternative techniques that achieve much the same as a log book, with various pros and cons to each. Building a Second Brain is also an interesting technique, but is more focused on knowledge documentation rather than logging and benefits massively from being digitised.

I'm a believer that logbooks, journals, diaries, notes, or whatever else you want to call it, are a personal thing and so it's about finding your own way of achieving what you want to achieve with those things. I've not found a single technique that works for me as it's described. That may be an issue with the author, the article, the concept or (more likely) me. But I try to adopt the ideas that I found work well and drop those that didn't.

I keep a bullet journal, although it's kind of somewhere between a bullet journal, commonplace book and daily log. Similar to the article, I tend to take lists of tasks each day; not as a todo list, but as a list of things I want to achieve. As I achieve them, they get ticked off. As I progress them, I write notes about what I'm doing or have done towards them, perhaps splitting them down into smaller tasks, etc.

There's also some personal tracker things from bujo I use, but they are generally just metadata around each daily log. Things like mental health, meal tracking, etc. But the most important thing is separating daily logs from single and double page spreads, and labeling them in a contents page for easy navigation.

If I come across something of interest, I treat it like a commonplace book to capture that interesting thing; recipes, project ideas, reference materials, arbitrary thoughts, and more. Similar to zettelkasten's fleeting notes concept, anything I want to revisit later I write down.

In my opinion, the power of this technique comes from how to link these things together - just writing them down isn't all that useful to me. So maintaining an accurate contents page to be able to quickly jump to a project or tracker spread makes navigation easier, while also maintaining an index for collating specific ideas mentioned sporadically across the entire logbook means I can trace an idea through the logbook (or multiple logbooks). These both mean I can actually go back and look at something specific, or quickly scan for topics that may relate to a new idea and leverage the work I put in when originally writing it.

But, this is just what works for me and doesn't necessarily mean anybody else would benefit from it. And I think this is the key thing naturally omitted by many note taking tutorials, blogs, etc. They're trying to sell you on the solution to end all your problems, when there's no guarantees that the technique even works let alone will work for you.
The solution to a bad SnR is more noise?

Not that free speech isn't its own issue, but your premise makes no sense in itself.
Looks very thorough, definitely a step up from that paper that got a lot of publicity, and was based on a single convoluted task. I think an approach like this is the future for benchmarking LLM's, in general.

A minor nitpick here is that there is no human baseline to compare. How would an average human perform on these tests?
Snaps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(software)) may have something to do with it.

That has nothing to do with the OP, though.
I'm curious how the rewards in the "best places" to work look like. There was a famous study that found that developers are happy when they get enough money not to care, but in real life this doesn't seem to be the case. Whenever I speak with my management buddies, they always lament about engineers who complain they're not being appreciated enough. When asked what proper appreciation would look like, they always give various answers which always boil down to money (i.e. "you could praise me in front of everyone for the great job I did, but actually want a raise / more money than the guy I perceive to be a slacker").

If we're being honest, one is employed by the company to make them money, so it will always more or less boil down to this. Would anyone be satisfied that they made their boss a million more, while getting a pat on the back and the same salary?
Glad to hear that. I launched the app on the right time.
I do a ~25 minute walk basically every day -- the key for me is doing a defined loop. Doesn't matter where, just so long as it's a single loop (eg no repeating, no backtracking) and it always stays interesting for me. And in fact the more you do it, the more it becomes rote, and the LESS you care about the route being interesting. You can just tune out, go on autopilot, and keep thinking about what ever you want to keep thinking about but also get some exercise in.

Criminals doing bad things it's the cost of having privacy. We never had and we will never have a perfect society.

Just look at the EC members: they hide their communications, use WhatsApp to negotiate contracts worth billions of dollars (see the Pfizer direct "negotiation" between von der Leyen and Pfizer) but we should give up encryption because criminals use it as well...

The hypocrisy is astounding.
It's an aspect of human nature. If you've been in at least a few relationships for example, you will have witnessed up close and personal how being taken for granted works. People tend to do that to those that are loyal to them, at some point or another, intentionally or not.

All workers being exploited in regards to loyalty are being specifically exploited by a person that is doing the exploiting. It's not a faceless corporation (a robotic entity in imagery) doing it, it's a specific person (or people) that is doing it to them. Why does that matter? Because you're dealing with a dark facet of human nature in action. If you understand what you're dealing with in actuality, you'll be better situated to deal with it, control how you react to it, pre-empt it, et al.
Capitalism does not reward virtue. Also, loyalty is not a virtue.

Loyalty is for henchmen playing at zero-sum games. The idea that it is a virtue is a psyop by the people out there who would have us as their henchmen.

If your work is solving a problem that needs to be solved, you don't need loyalty, you can be on the team you're on because it's the best way to attack that problem. And when the power goes to your leader's head and they try to make you into a henchman, you can go find a different team with which to attack the same problem.

Otherwise the problems don't get solved and we all end up working for marketing in some way or another.
Show HN: Use 2 iPhones to Record Auto-Synced Multicam Video
Hi HN!

We've been working on "Multiplayer" for Detail, allowing you to set up and connect two iPhones to each other (P2P or WiFi) and record a multi-angle podcast, interview, or unboxing video easily. After filming, the local recordings from each device are synced, so both devices end up with high-quality camera angles and audio that you can edit and remix. We're also working on remote connections (WebRTC-based) and improving audio alignment on slow networks using cross-correlation.

With Detail and Multiplayer, you can bypass the need for multiple cameras and complicated audio setups. Just grab two iPhones, connect them, and start recording.

Let us know what you think! Happy to answer any questions about how it works.

As the other person said, more widespread wealth taxation sounds more effective than just going after billionaires but it's a start. I don't think lowering taxes on the poor is going to raise them out of poverty though, the issue runs much deeper than that.

The overall root cause would be much more complicated to fix. There is a lot of inequality built into the US that needs to be changed from the top and that probably isn't going to happen with a 2-party system where the 2 parties are fairly similar and block each other from making progress. Also, have so few choices when voting prevents any minority party from having a chance.

I think that would involve rank choice voting across the board is critical. It would allow new political parties and candidates to come into power and people could finally vote for politicians they like instead of voting against politicians they dislike. Obviously we also need more fair election funding and an end to corporate lobbying. We need to interrupt all the corruption before we can begin making very much progress.

The issue with all of this is that the people at the top with power have nothing to gain and everything to lose from these changes.

Consider some of the criticisms in the following video. I realize that the video says my suggested methods are futile, but I still see them as the path of least resistance towards progress.

WRT. the comparison to a ramen shop, it would seem that the "intuitive understanding on what matter the most" is all about the product, and the value and experience it delivers. In software, almost all of the debates are about the process. Code style, culture, CI/CD, code reviews, scrums and scrams... this is all process. The product? I suppose it's kind of a given. Or perhaps just not in power of the programmers to influence enough. IDK. There's some depth to be extracted from your analogy.

"This is how people often describe Erlang and Elixir."

It is. I recall it fooling me when I first got into Erlang. But it's wrong. Erlang has some tools that help lead you in a more robust direction, but you still have to work to use them. They are not automatic and it's trivial to write an Erlang service that has a single point of failure, even accidentally.

Now, I don't want to criticize the tools it has and the fact that it does rather strongly lead you in a robust direction more than many systems. This is somewhere between "an easy mistake to make for a newbie" and "some sloppy advocacy sometimes by some people", 100% a people thing, not a criticism of the code base or technicals at all. But it is important for people considering Erlang/Elixir or early in the process to understand that it does not simply automatically make all your code run robustly in a cluster. It is only a strong push in the right direction and you still must understand it enough to make sure you don't break it.
Earlier this year I experimented with writing a work log each day. Every time I finished a task or I reached the end of the workday, I would make some notes. After a few months I stopped.

Occasionally I found it very useful for reloading context on a Monday morning. Other than that it seemed like just another job I had given myself. Going back and rereading my notes from that time I see that I didn't put down enough information. Most of them don't make much sense to me today.

I kept my log in OneNote and created a shortcut that I could click on to jump to that page. It worked great and for me, it's important to include images and handwriting along with text and it all be searchable.

A personal log like the article's author wrote about is much more appealing to me and I think it would be far more useful. Jerry Pournelle used to talk about his log when he was on Leo Laporte's podcast and I've often wished I had the discipline to maintain something like that.
I very much doubt so. If the bar was really that low virtually no one would suffer from sedentary lifestyle
It's mostly compatible in abilities, except, famously Fossil is not a fan of being able to change previous commits, while Git is.

Fossil however is mostly incompatible with how Git thinks, since Git is arguably the worst wrapper around an API imaginable, while Fossil is pretty well thought out for smaller dev teams. Fossil will never work for Linux kernel development.

Some vehicles of similar size might be more than 1/8th of a mile apart in straight line performance in 10 seconds-- let alone the difference once we've got multidimensional vectors.
Nah, kernel coding style counts tabs as 8 characters for indentation purposes. It is also discouraged to nest conditional structures too deeply.

Ish? Yes, you can't just "run off the calories" of food, per se. That said, the more time you spend running/walking/whatever, the less time you spend eating, in many cases. That marathon, for example, is not nearly as simple as eating a burger. One takes several hours for a very fit athlete. The other is minutes for most people.

That is, it is easy to view some exercising as a substitute for some snacking. And, in that job, it works rather well. Is my hypothesis on why the simple walk around the neighborhood has outsized impact on weight loss.
Because cars are extremely convenient.

Even the cities with great public transport are full of cars. There is a reason.
Yeah it’s funny, I’ve generally always worked hard and been rewarded. Occasionally I’ve had a bad job or a bad boss and I’ve moved on quickly. I do have an anti-authoritarian streak (got me in trouble in school), but I’ve never felt exploited in the workplace.

A big part of this is the privilege of working in software where my skills are highly valued. But even here I see people with a victim complex all the time. The whole “the only reward for getting done early is more work” indicates a deep misunderstanding of both the problem-solving leverage we have as software engineers as well as how to have your value be recognized by your employer.
It’s not about working more hours, it’s about understanding the business and making your own work effective. This is completely orthogonal from maintaining clear work/life boundaries, which you should also do, and most reasonable places don’t have a problem with.
is one option to sync “bignum” structs instead of f64 or is that not realistic in terms of complexity/size?
We've been playing with LLM's and OpenAI to build integration from plain text.

There's a video of an early version of it in action here:
https://www.loom.com/share/a78c70f0e2bd42a28b7cb0a5d175c3aa

I think what's nice about using LLM's to build Taxi queries (which is what's actually happening here) is that we're not having to push things like API Specs and DB Schemas to the LLM. Instead, we train it on the Taxi types that are available, get the LLM to build a Taxi query, and let Orbital generate the integration.

It means a lot less information is pushed out.

Still quite early, but it's really powerful.
Yeah. You don't get paid for hard work, you get paid for experience applied to lucrative problems.
