I appreciate you succinctly boiling down what I am trying to address here. I obviously disagree with this position strenuously but in my own way and for the purpose of really "putting a name" to that which I am advocating against, you have done both sides a great service.

Funfact: San Franscisco has a public transport system in the area where the driverless cars are operating.
Indeed, although I believe the main value of the automaticity of the heart isn't about being able to survive brain failure, but about being a real-time system with no dependencies. Unavailability of just ~3 seconds can lead to loss of consciousness. We can afford to stop breathing for a bit if the nervous system is overwhelmed, but the heart can't afford that.
Has anyone used PHATE for visualising?

So what is your point? Judas story might be real but the miracles were not real, and Jesus was a regular man?

I honestly don't care if 1% or 5% of the text is real anyway.
The other drivers on the road shouldn't be a factor here as it's not the thing being studied. A human driving and a self-driving car driving the same route are both equally exposed to danger from the cars around them. The study should control for that variable.

But I think you're getting at a really interesting question. If the ratio of self-driving cars increases in your zip code does your insurance, as a human driver, decrease? I.E. is if safer to drive next to a self-driving car or a human driven car?
Show HN: Build Market Intelligence Apps with Graphlit, Reddit and Azure AI
With the use of Graphlit and Azure AI, market intelligence from Reddit can be automated - accelerating the time to business insights.

This tutorial walks through ingesting Reddit posts into Graphlit by creating a Reddit feed, along with a content workflow. The workflow describes how the content will be ingested, prepared, extracted and enriched into the Graphlit knowledge graph.

When all content has been ingested, you can analyze the observed entities that Azure AI found in the Reddit posts, and extract structured data via faceted queries for charting and analysis.
I love ideas behind Landlock but I don't fully see the struggle currently without taking into considerations issues with io_uring api. Seccomp nowadays with AppArmor|SElinux is enough even for Nested rootless containers. Nested even into std runc things. Both AppArmor and Seccomp profiles are stackable. If you don't need to generate unique profiles per each container you should be fine...
So do I, but other drivers don't.
Do you see `git log --graph` becoming entangled as a problem in itself, or as a symptom of a problem?

Your suggestion seems to help with the former, but not really the latter, or does it?

I would be interested in an explanation why it's O(nlog(n)).

It requires sorting the points along one axis which already gives O(nlog(n)) as a lower bound, but I'd be interested in how the line-sweeping would need to be done to not go over that.

The number of points in the beach front should roughly scale with the square root of points, so a naive search/replace per point insertion would take sqrt(n) operations and a O(n*sqrt(n)) overall runtime.
Is the versioning scheme only in .001 increments? I know version numbers aren't indicative of progress, but I still find it fascinating that a 26 year old project is just releasing 0.260
That is not the same word "text" as used in the headline. (Note that you weren't able to say "a text".)

Wiktionary's definition page is something of a train wreck, but if you already know what to look for, the information is there:

> text (countable and uncountable, plural texts)

( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/text#English )

Of course one word cannot be "countable and uncountable". But your "text" is uncountable, and bisby's "text" is not.
I'd like to say that the banks argument is only valid if they're being lazy. AS/400 (now System i) can support Unicode through extensions. They may need to rewrite portions of their code, but it's not impossible, and in the last few decades is inexcusable.

What is the relationship between (I assume you mean generative) AI, which is the foundation for many useful new technologies, and NFT/crypto, which usually amounts to nothing more than a pyramid scheme style investment opportunity?
You're saying this like it was some deliberately hostile, colonial move to impose ASCII on the world. But I don't think it was quite like that, more that in the beginnings of computing people designed and built things for themselves. And it just happened to be that a lot of that early work happened in the anglosphere.
I'd like my PRs to tell a very sanitised story of how I could have come up with the change, with the power of foresight.

Basically, first you write your code however you see fit. Then you use git to rewrite history to make the reviewers life easy, and then you give it to the reviewer.

The reviewer doesn't need to know that my original version had a bug that I fixed later. I can make it look like I came up with a bug free version from the start.

I think the question would be better framed as “would I, someone who doesn’t do dumb things while driving, be safer in a driverless car?”

Despite the universality of what you cite, driving accidents are likely an 80:20 issue where a small fraction of people cause most of the harm.

>>Aren't there examples of European cities that "converted?"

Loads and loads and loads - at least here in the UK, nearly every city centre is converting to be pedestrian only, with cars being pushed further and further out, with councils emphasising that you should really park your car at one of the massive park&ride car parks outside of the city centre then just take a metro or bus in. That's a good thing in my opinion. It's really shocking to look at pictures taken from the city centre just 30 years ago and see that cars basically were prioritized everywhere, the main shopping street in Newcastle for instance used to be a normal road with cars parked on either side - it hasn't been like that for a long time and the city manages just fine.
I think simple shell scripts are usually more terse than python.

But as a shell script grows, python starts winning.

By the time you get to 1000 lines of python, you are probably doing a lot of heavy lifting and it is probably non-trivial to change languages.
Thanks, will have a look. Yeah in this case I'd want to provide the text content.

I also just found pgvector which seems like it could help? It has a similarity search.
> semver and version pinning is a problem not a solution

Almost every practice in software development is a compromise that wouldn't be necessary if some decision in the past were different.

I think I agreed with you somewhere in this thread, that version-names (flask1, flask2, ...) are a better solution than major versions.

However, `flask` as an import name isn't going to go away. That is simply a reality and we have to work with it, because alot of projects rely on this. The same is true for tens of thousands of important software packages all over the OSS landscape.

So we can argue all day and then some over "what if"s...it won't change the status quo that exists, and in that state, semver is a good compromise that solves way more problems than it introduces.

Hey Devs

I've been exploring some watermark APIs and after Image Watermarking, I've put together a list of some really cool Video Watermarking APIs and their providers. I look into account details like how how customization they provide, the kind of support they offer, input and output formats, and more. (By the way, even though I'm part of one of these providers, I did my best to stay neutral :)

Check out the blog post: [TOP Video Watermarking APIs - Comparison, Features and Functionality](https://apyhub.com/blog/exploring-top-video-watermarking-api...)

Now, these recommendations are based on my own research and what I've seen. Are there any plugins that do the same thing? Have you ever tried out any other providers? I'd love to hear about your experiences with them.
"seccomp containers" sounds weird... like what is a container in Linux anyway :D
Worse thing than that - it took roughly 9 months for a credit card of mine to be enabled. After many, many calls it turned out my name was too long... or more like it that I had submitted a middle name, the bank had not notation of such a thing, so they filled it as a first name (glued together as is tradition).
Even both together are no so long - fewer than 4bits in length.

In the end the bank did shorten my middle name, kept it as a sole letter.
We had "complete" software in the same sense that we had "complete" technology when we discovered fire and caves. There is always something that can be improved or optimized further, although it may require rethinking the problem.
such as? If I remember correctly (has been a few years), over the last 15-20 years there were

iOS: UIKit -> SwiftUI

MacOS: AppKit -> Catalyst
-> SwiftUI

there was definitely some churn within each one of those from version to version, but no complete rewrite needed afaik.
Brisk 22-minute walk could offset harmful effects of sitting, study suggests
In Italy, in Veneto (the region around Venice) the local dialect tends to omit the last letter of a word if such letter is a vowel.

Because of that, my grand father and his sister happened to have different family name in their ID cards: when they got registered by the priest at the beginning of 1900, on a paper book of course, the priest who registered the sister added an "I" at the end of the family name as he thought that that should be the right spelling in proper Italian. At that time ID cards did not even exist so nobody bothered.
unfortunately, not, see the comment above
In the early 90's me and a couple of other French guys had taken to writing French unaccented, so that we wouldn't suffer the daily pain of character set problems - we really bashed our own heads to fit into lower ASCII !
Sure, but that's driver discretion, so it's a factor that we should be considering.
Small specialized software product development houses, where there is deep inhouse knowledge of a domain, design and marketing, surely exist.

But these places also like eating, and so will not always be able to work just on projects that fit that mold. Often they need to do unglamorous work such as just being an outsourced entity for a bigger one.

This kind of work rarely gets bragged about on their landing pages.
Why would it be "irrelevant"?

"people having success doing it" would be the most relevant pragmatic thing. Surely something people have success doing trumps any detailed "why" explanation that doesn't have the same success, or any theoretical "better".
I have the exact opposite opinion. Anything specific part of reality GDPR violates?
Ahhh interesting, I didn't know it was an entirely separate, single letter! I was in Amsterdam a few weeks back and saw a lot of signage featuring "ij" had it stylised with the "i" sitting just above the tail of the "j" but never considered that it was just one letter.

Czech has this too, sort of, where "ch" is considered one letter but it is composed of two separate characters.
Malmö is a fifth of the size of Copenhagen, or a tenth of Seattle. Once an hour at night isn't so bad for a city that size, isn't it? The trains to Copenhagen run all night, so I can get home...
And how is the detained going to ascertain that the officer really is working on a terrorism case and not conducting their own fishing expedition? Given that no lawyer may be present, I'm also sure that the target of the investigation is not to be disclosed to the victim.
>>less traffic, no more parking.

These two goals are incompatible. If the idea is that self driving cars don't need to park, they can just drive around in circles until needed(which is an absolutely insane idea for a whole number of reasons, but let's stick with it for a second), then that will only increase not decrease traffic.

>>I could see them make the way to Europe too

I've love to see a Waymo navigate some narrow British roads where there is no road signage and there is no defined priority.

Like, this is a real situation encountered on a road here by myself just few months ago, skip to 1:30 to see the interesting bit - I'd love to hear proponents of self driving cars explain to me exactly what the car would do in this case. Hand over to a remote operator? There is no signal there, sorry.

To be fair, digitally, Ĳ is simply spelled using the separate letters I and J in Dutch, despite it being a digraph. That codepoint you used is deprecated in Unicode and only there for historic compatibility reasons. Your family members using 'ij' are simply applying the correct orthography, with those using 'y' just digging themselves into a hole.

I definitely want to try this holofoil CSS effect in other contexts too!
Although the performance numbers are impressive, especially for PC, yesterday's presentation was a bit of a disappointment. You have a chip that you claim smokes the competition in performance, yet you don't show any demo of it, and instead focus 90% of the presentation on AI capabilities.

For example, just partner with one of the popular game companies, let's say Riot Games, and natively compile one of their games and show side by side against a competitors CPU how much more FPS Oryon gets, or how much more the battery life goes on.

It doesn't even have to be a game, they could have shown a video export or compilation of a big code base...
What this man wants is not productivity or progress, it's (pleasure of) control.

The sooner we get this mindset out of the boards of decision (in corporate and governments), the better our societies will fare.

What I mean by that is that it's a choice of society: one doesn't get the best out of people without not only giving them, but supporting their agency.

If working from home works best for them, if there's no genuine organic (that is, not designed/manufactured to coerce) incentive to come to the office, that's on the employer: either the job does not need it, either something in the office is repelling people; that's what needs to be fixed.
but it is broken, utf8 support need wasn't new when the law suite happened

there is also the issue that I would be surprised if that system _didn't_ had tons of security vulnerabilities (which just weren't found because of it's obscurity). Heck, I have heard of enough cases where old banking systems had ton's of well known security issues in their interface they just "defined away" by means like "oh you need to be a bank employee to abuse them so they are not an issue" or "pst, don't speak about it we (supposedly) can't afford an update and they would fire people if they need to do an update".

I suspect that if a metro would be built in a large car centric city over time the city would adapt to the metro and become less car centric. But making the economical argument for building the metro in the first place would be very hard. It would pay back over a time scale that capitalist economies hardly consider.
WW2 was a negative step for many of the cities affected, as it gave them the chance to test the new "car" thing.
Having worked for 20 years in fintech, I have seen many large European and Asian banks running on COBOL programs written 30 years ago, using EBCDIC. In many cases the sources for some of those programs are lost, due to the fact that proper version control systems did not exist at that time, and nobody dares to re-implement them because they are scared of regressions.
GDPR is handled by the state - no idea how/where frivolous part comes from. The people can file complaints with the state/agency but not sue companies directly on their own for violations.
LIGO by itself serves "very little" purpose, just watching for gravitational events that are theoretically possible and checking if they happen for real. It actually confirmed that these events exist a while ago[1], and now it's "just" looking for more things we already know exist.

in my opinion, the point of LIGO is no longer in detecting these gravitational events anymore tbh. Doing that is cool, and will bring us more data points about the events, but it's unlikely to ever yield "new science" like that.

Instead, LIGO (and Virgo) excel in exactly the kind of thing that we see in this article: to push the barrier of what we can do in this hyperspecific use-case, finding ways to do "new" engineering that would not make sense for other commercial projects yet and finding out how to implement cool solutions. The fairly consequent amount of funding and the extra focused goal it is aiming for will lead to new techniques and technologies that might have an impact.

Now, is there a guarantee that this new technology will have a larger impact than "better detectors"? No. Actually, there's no guarantee about anything coming out of LIGO ever, no more than out of the LHC[2] or ITER[3] or the ELT[4] will give us new science. But putting all of your eggs in the same basket is a bad solution for making more science, and there's enough room in science budgets to try a few dozen monumental projects and see what sticks.

Nope. The only actually working use case for bitcoins (and all other tokens too) is law avoidance. For that, sure, it is great. Transferring sums across borders without complying with AML laws and without declaring them (so law avoidance), receiving salary in tokens and not paying taxes (law avoidance), paying bribes (law avoidance), buying forbidden shit (law avoidance) and the list goes on. None of those are legit use cases. And for legit ones bitcoin is simply not competitive due to atrocious performance and user experience. PS: before you say Lightning - that is not a bitcoin, but a new centralized system which completely reneges on the decentralization promise and is still shitty, with idiotic channels and rules about them.
Betrayal was rife during WW2, it was a time where you couldn't trust anyone anymore. There's multiple stories about that in Maus, where people betray their own people and family to gain favors with the Nazis (there's some essays about that if you can't be bothered to read the graphic novel, e.g. here https://brandeis.digication.com/rkoehler/conflict ).

That is, the Nazis gave a Judas some food and other favors if they could find and report jews in hiding.

That’s what design and art studios do as well. Take contracts to provide something. Dealing with external parties like this is quite different to having employees performing the same job.

This is also quite a common way to bootstrap a small gamedev studio.
>If I write a book and it's good, me doing other stuff later, even with the same characters doesn't change the original book.

Only technically. In that the actual printed words wont change.

In how it's perceived in the culture, how it's read, how new readers relate to its characters, what it's seen as the start of, and so on, it does retroactively change the original.

Same how the horrendous 8th season of GoT tainted the previous seasons too. Now it's a journey to a pointless ending - and many people who haven't seen it are unwilling to get into it because they know that. Even someone rewatching the first season, now has a bad taste knowing the later plot of Danny for example, or how various things shown as prominent in the first seasons (the mysterious signs of the deathwalkers, or even the death walkers themselves) play no significant role, or are just skipped over later.
Team value is about bringing unique skills that can be a force multiplier. Measuring individual performance is antithetical to this very idea.

Soccer is a good metaphor because it's EASY to measure/see the value a good player that does not shoot a lot of goals make. In programming this is not the case.

It's certainly the case that managers that want hard numbers and don't know how to code won't be able to understand the situation at all. This is why this McKinsley nonsense is so dangerous.
