While visualizers have fallen out of favor, live video jockeying is gaining popularity. Some DJs work closely with VJs before shows to produce curated visual experiences which augment the music. Lots of raymarching, geometry manipulation, and progressions reminiscent of the demoscene. It's quite an experience live. Here are a few examples:

From the “uBO works best in Firefox” page, I found this gem:

> Firefox will wait for uBO to be ready before sending network requests from already opened tab(s) at browser launch.

> In Chromium-based browsers, this is not the case. Tracker/advertisement payloads may find their way into already opened tabs before uBO is ready, while Firefox will properly filter these.

That’s a hell of a “bug” in Chromium, that blocker initialization has a race condition with restoring the last opened tabs. What a weird little “accident” that Chromium just moves forward and loads all the trackers, “oopsie”. I wonder which kind of promotion the engineer who made that “mistake” has been awarded.

How to Deal with an Insufferable Code Reviewer
You're a paralegal preparing case summaries for your boss. You use a high-end and trusted retrieval-augmented generative platform, and it dutifully summarizes the cases. After a spot-check, it seems right: correct plaintiffs, correct defendants, correct case numbers and stylings.

But a former partner poisoned the case "rooms" where docs were uploaded.

Now, the senior partner is making a filing on behalf of their largest client. The errors are subtle. Enough to escape detection. But they catch someone's eye, and it turns out that, collectively, you've misstated past judgments to the tune of $250,000. Now everything done for that client is suspect, other clients lose faith, and the firm is embarrassed on the national stage due to their failure to listen to someone who clearly stated the liability issue with untrusted inputs, but instead they chuckled along with the snarky post about common sense.
We used to be in Regus' offices, which had the option to use their spaces in other countries too. Not having used WeWork I do not know how it compares, but at least you can use Regus' office in Paris or Mexico City if you want.
Every time there is some discussion about weight here, somebody will come with the whole "there is no good or bad food, calories in/out is the only thing that matters" argument. And while technically correct it's also overly symplistic. The whole point about "bad" (processed) foods is that they make it very easy to take in a lot of calories without feeling sated.

Take an apple or orange juice for example. To eat the equivalent amount of fructose (or calories) that is contained in an orange juice, you will need to eat a lot of fruit, and like feel full before finishing, while the equivalent juice doesn't even register.

Bogus conclusion. It's quite a leap from "not replaced" to "lasting longer."

Years ago my suspension needed to be replaced, but I didn't replace it because it was expensive. I just dealt with the nausea for several additional years, as likely did the guy I sold it to.

This reminds me of the microservices trend where the main justification is modularity —- which is of course perfectly possible to implement in a programming language using standard language constructs.

Similarly: any separation of concerns you can implement with APIs and multiple databases you can also implement with a schema. The difference being you have to reimplement a bunch of capabilities that are baked into an rdbms (and will probably never correctly implement something like a hash join).
That is a biased question, similar to “why does Zuck insists on making money pushing teenagers to depression and suicide? Isn’t he rich enough?”

It's great that you've found something you like, but if you are interested in staying close to the text, a translation by a person that deeply understands Classical Chinese literature and philosophy is worth a read.

Please try Red Pine- https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556592906

To see the difference, let's compare her translation of 4 and 9 (Here, we have Stephen Mitchell and Red Pine's translations) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38058843#38095107

4: Sourceless

The way is empty,
used, but not used up.
Deep, yes! ancestral
to the ten thousand things.

Blunting edge,
loosing bond,
dimming light,
the way is the dust of the way.

Quiet
yes, and likely to endure.
Whose child? Born
before the gods.

9: Being Quiet

Brim-fill the bowl,
it'll spill over.
Keep sharpening the blade,
you'll soon blunt it.

Nobody can protect
a house full of gold and jade.

Wealth, status, pride
are their own ruin.
To do good, work well, and lie low
is the way of the blessing.

For 4, some of the concepts don't even appear in the original (quiet?)

For 9, it feels like there's a lot of overstepping and blank-filling.

"Despite claims that the home-schooling boom is a result of failing public schools, The Post found no correlation between school district quality, as measured by standardized test scores, and home-schooling growth"..

You can still use the spacetime driver at runtime if you remembered to load the anti-entropy plugin at boot. You just set the system clock back to (uptime - 1), load the spacetime driver and then fast-forward time back to now. Though you should make sure not to make any filesystem (or family tree) modifications while you have the system in the past. See the video tutorial "Back to the Future" for more info.
If the feedback you're getting from the job market is that too much education is seen as an obstacle to landing a job, why are you continuing to collect more degrees?

The US is nothing if not inconsistent. The car-selling thing is due to state laws, not federal, and really the result of corruption: the dealerships are politically connected. The showerhead thing is due to environmentalism, so the US does sometimes make regulations with that impetus. There's no environmental aspect to banning targeted advertisements; it's purely social.
The amount per year doesn't tell me much, but when converted to per day it's crazy high: 120*453.6/365 = 149 grams. That's 600 calories from sugar per day.

I think capitialism/consumerism have a "double speaking" nature. They want you to believe it's okay to be fat so you buy more food than you need, then they want you to believe it's not okay so they can sell you weight-loss products.

The amazing part is that it works: humans are capable to believe two contradicting things at the same time.

> Which is the greater leap of logic though?

The one that doesn't require an entire reproductive system to be implemented in order for the whole system to function.

> All forms of organization we see in nature have a tendency to want to self-perpetuate.

There's an underlying naturalist bias with this reasoning. There's nothing within current ML systems that dictate that they must follow the path laid out by Nature.

> Consciously choosing to forgo perpetuation and instead eliminate yourself seems to be highly underrepresented in all the examples of intelligence we've ever encountered.

Survivorship bias is present in this reasoning, as the system that has reproductive capabilities will out-populate the system that doesn't have such capabilities in place. From a sampling perspective, the difficulties of finding the non-replicating system within that pool will require extraordinary amounts of luck compared to the near certainty of finding systems with reproductive capabilities. A naturalist argument is also present in this sentence.

> It's actually weird we think the machines are so stupid they wouldn't recognize the optimization trap immediately.

This conclusion is based on the axiom of "what's obvious for us will be obvious for them", which is demonstrably untrue for even the current crop of ML systems. Furthermore, it falls into an anthromorphization trap, as it makes the ML system appear as something more than what it currently demonstrates.

That conclusion is based on their benchmarks. I'm not interested in those. I'm interested in community benchmarks, like those we're seeing in the comments. Lo and behold, GPT-4 is still king. The claims of any company should be taken with exactly a pinch of salt.

One simple explanation is protein. Modern diets have terribly low protein levels, and much of that protein comes from sources with extremely poor digestibility [1], meaning the effective protein consumption levels are even worse than they seem.

Protein is a major appetite suppressant. I'd read this but never really realized how true it is until starting on a protein heavy diet. I now eat near 500g of chicken breast a day, and by the end of the day I'm basically having to force feed myself. Yet 500g of chicken breast is less than 800 calories! And the other stuff is just to balance out my diet.

And I love eating as much as anybody else. But you simply cannot eat that much when you're on a protein heavy diet. Finding data on protein consumption rates over time is difficult, but I'd hypothesize we were probably much higher on effective protein consumption in the past. I know absolutely nobody that regularly had something like 'steak and eggs' for breakfast, yet it seems that was indeed a thing at some point.

OMG. It seems that tech follow exactly the path of the media (TV, newspapers)- if we were paying customers, the tech would be tailored to our needs. But, since we aren't, the tech is tailored to needs of advertising, which leads to bizzare aberrations such as this one. Similarly, free-to-play/pay-to-win games' design is not about the player getting the best experience, but about compelling them to spend as much on in-game purchases.

It's a shame we are such cheapskates that we prefer to suffer such crappy tactics instead of paying for a decent service or content.

Good old HN, "just self-host with onprem".

For small-medium companies whose main business isn't hosting software this makes it untenable from a financial point of view. For the monthly salary of a single SRE/devops/admin whatever you can run AWS services for a year at that scale.
There are databases (and data warehouses) that need to provide random query api’s, e.g, for reporting, analytics, etc. Databases can be considered to provide an api layer themselves, way more flexible than most standards APIs provide. Graphql and odata go a long way to solve this. Also, database views can provide a data api layer for a database. Views provide a stable datamodel, that allow the underlying tables to be changed.

There's a real difference between the amount of space for the lens on a gopro vs _any_ phone camera.

The point that Apple (and Google, Huawei, Samsung, etc) are making is that filming on a phone is qualitatively better now than it ever has been. The reality is that modern phones have cameras vastly superior to phone cameras of the past, or more importantly even things like camcorders of a few years ago.

That said, I think there would be more interest in things that are shot with widely varying angle of view, distance, etc. Rather than "person standing in front of a camera", "person in a room standing in front of a camera", "person walking in an approximately single focal plane in a room", etc

And you probably still have firmware on the main machine. Just about every modern usb controller offloads the USB packet arbitration/sequencing behind a microcontroller and a pile of fw. Ex XHCI is usually a 8051 and some firmware sitting on the other side of the XHCI register description. Its probably the same on the actual USB->ethernet device, where there is conceptually something like the cypress FX3 integrated with a ethernet mac/phy in the chip an a couple arm's running firmware to respond to the USB packets and act as a control plane for the data being DMA'ed to/from the ethernet buffers. Same with the disk, does it have NVMe, SD, emmc? Then likely there is another handful of arm device doing the load leveling and flash management on the "disk". Or for that matter the battery and charge controller might look dumb but has a little microcontroller integrating instantaneous charge/discharge information and adjusting charge current/etc.
