I think video games are their own art form, now, with indie studios making beauties like Noita and AAA behemoth bottegas crafting entire worlds with every little corner containing art to explore should you take the time to walk, like the London depicted in Watch Dogs: Legion.

If only more companies had the courage and vision to make their games fully-moddable, thus transforming and extending their lives, like ID Software, Bethesda, and Bohemia Interactive have done.

I lived that "grocery store a block away" lifestyle and I still preferred to drive to get groceries.

Not because I'm lazy, but because the nearby grocery store often cost more than double for the same items.

And it was a grocery store, not a convenience store. Convenience stores were even worse.
If you think that the landscape you build a company in hasn't changed in the 2 decades since the founding of Facebook, there's not much to tell you.

And even Facebook definitely didn't win because if some technical choice... no one cared what tech stack powered a social media site, and if anything Facebook was less advanced than MySpace as far as users were concerned.

If you're talking about how it matters further down the line, then you're walking away from the wrapper thesis too: the whole line being parroted is that it's just an API wrapper ripe for the copying. Good luck getting to the "further down the line" reliably as a company, let alone down the line and then killing your competitor with a game plan that mostly consists of copying them.
How would that work? The public wouldn't know anything about anything unless a judge convicted someone.
It seems the real reason this lawsuit found traction while similar ones against much larger platforms is precisely because Omegle sounds like a fairly shoestring operation. Platforms with an army of lawyers can surely fend lawsuits like this off without batting an eye. Apparently Omegle doesn't have an army of lawyers.

Your point is good: I have friends in some developments around Paris and they are perfectly fine. But the hostile banlieus are pretty bad, and such hostile environments have developed in the UK and USA to the point where they are being torn down.

Is the same true in Spain?
I believe they are, but for a long time I did not know of the Move shortcut. I can see why they added it: better UX since less likely to be accidental whereas using Cmd-X may cut a file when you misclicked off cutting the name of the file.
Is the latter special-cased, or do you just always need a braces around a single-line loop?

Funny thing - during last renovation, I agreed to a drop ceiling. I didn't realize until it was too late that they'll just hang drywall-ish thing from the frame and paint it over, so while technically cables run most of their length overhead, I'd still need to effectively destroy the ceiling to get at them.

Plus, this does not solve the problem of the starting and ending segments of cables, that just go vertically through tight holes bored in the wall.

> Notability isn't the same as credibility.

I agree, which is why I am disputing the claim that the legacy bluecheck system was one of the "credibility signals that once helped users".

> Blue checks used to be useful so that you knew whether or not the person you were interacting with was who they said they were and had some cultural importance.

It was a status symbol for celebrities and corporate journalists. And it's not a status symbol that anyone else respected.
I saw an interesting talk by Horowitz, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sImBlq542TQ which I think represents some of the smartest people working on SETI.

I don't know the whole story, but this seems very genuine. It echoes a sentiment I imagine many people my age feel, where the magic of the early internet we witnessed during our coming of age feels threatened.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67354709 also quotes "South Korean news agency Yonhap", and quotes statements from "the Donggoseong Export Agricultural Complex, which owns the plant" - and gives "In March, a South Korean man in his 50s suffered serious injuries after getting trapped by a robot while working at an automobile parts manufacturing plant" as additional detail of the previous incident. (That may not be enough to find earlier articles, or maybe they're just eclipsed by the current one.)
Interesting point; thanks for providing the opposite opinion. It's not that no one is applying to grad school, it's that brilliant, creative people with good job prospects are being "pre-diverted" away from the sciences.

For everyone who complains about the quality of the scientific literature, the replication crisis, the golden quarter, I think part of it ultimately stems from the way the funnel is set up.

We do implement many things that protect people, sometimes children in particular. They aren't perfect, but they can prevent a lot of damage.

The question, as usual, isn't all or nothing. It's what can we do that will meet all the criteria as best possible: not infringe on freedoms, reduce harm, be affordable, etc.
Presumably it's not yet default because it's so new, and that's why he ends the post by asking for tester to opt-in and report any issues.

Literally five seconds on Google could have shown the guy he was completely wrong.

But no, instead he posts unfounded FUD about how he will courteously "leave aside" the demonstrably INCORRECT claim that Go runtime needs to be installed on all machines that a Go program runs on.

So don't give me a hard time about it when it was that poster who made the original arrogant comment.

Can you meet people randomly on any of those services? That would be an interesting feature.
Servo based systems are both incredibly power and incredibly fast. So fast that if you've never seen a servo based arm move at top speed and come to that top speed at top acceleration you'd be forgiven to think that I'm exaggerating.

Depending on the application there are different layers of safety surrounding these systems, including perimeter guards, optical barriers, limit switches, resistance based detection and so on. But when a system is broken someone has to go in and fix it, and you tend to do that with the robot powered up, some of the safety systems disabled so you can actually work on it and if you're really unlucky a motor will end up shorted against a + or - rail while you're within reach. This is obviously dangerous, and it is more dangerous because broken equipment can't be trusted to behave in a predictable way.

They won't stop. Not until whatever is obstructing has moved or the motor has burned out (or someone has the presence of mind to hit the e-stop). I've seen a 3" thick mount that must have weighed well over a ton sheared clear of its bolts (which themselves were an inch thick) by a malfunctioning servo on a very large lathe under construction (think 8 foot chuck for crane cable idler wheels). Do not fuck with servo systems unless you are 100% sure they are safe to approach or you may well end up dead or gravely injured.
I think that the correct english translation of that is "Usonian" (Frank Lloyd Wright's term).
This isn’t the New Yorker.
Business logic is often the type code that changes least. If it is well designed, isolated and organized your business logic can survive UI changes, framework changes, stack changes, database vendor changes and all sorts of other "infrastructure" change. If you can't identify that "layer" from the others, then business logic will make its way into all sorts of areas that make change harder. And the ability to change is the very value that software has to offer in the first place. If it didn't need to be resilient to change then we could stick with fixed circuits which are far less expensive to build and maintain.
Benjamin Pierce has a famous quote: "Attempting to prove any nontrivial theorem about your program will expose lots of bugs: The particular choice of theorem makes little difference!" (This is also true of mathematical proofs - any attempt to formalize a nontrivial proof will usually expose several minor but fixable bugs in the proof.)
Yeah, that's why I'm suggesting people donate to departments or labs directly. Who knows how well universities are really run?
By missing here I meant missing the delivery, and having the package returned to sender, and/or stashed at the logistics center somewhere in the ass-end of a gravel road far out of town.

I've had a single-digit number of packages never delivered, most of them years ago, from Aliexpress (which, at least back then, had a very buyer-favoring dispute process, so I would get my money back with three clicks or so).
How exactly do you imagine those laws would be structured?
> So it is easy to make changes by system admins/non-developers. Scripting is for glue functionality after all…

You can also use env-vars and flags in Go.

Which many would argue leads to more robust "admin glue functionality", because the admin controls how much non-admins can mess around with instead of allowing them to mess around with the core shell-script functionality.
I often add an extra line or two of no-op code in order to improve readability. But in these examples, the code clearly wasn't written to communicate anything, but rather by mistake.
Also ask a vague or underspecified question, get something back that's not quite what you wanted, and iterate on it in natural language. Even at 1 token/sec it's still ridiculously much faster than writing it for yourself, especially if you're using an unfamiliar language or API.
> it sounds very much like not doing lockout/tagout or at least hitting the e-Stop before inspecting something

That was exactly my thought when reading it. If the e-stop had been depressed this likely would have never happened. But with the system live all bets are off, especially if it is already malfunctioning. You're essentially one queued G-code away from getting mauled.
Ask HN: Any tool to help with writing technical design documents?
I am curious if anyone knows of a tool to help in the process of drafting a technical design document.

I frequently have to write design docs in my work as a software engineer and starting with a blank slate is always an imposing task. It usually takes me a few days to riff on my design and break it into small tasks, put together a timeline, etc. Then when it first is shared out there's always lots of feedback that needs to get worked back in, it can turn into quite a time consuming process.

I'm wondering if anyone has used anything to help with this. Stuff like Linear or Asana doesn't really seem helpful because the design doc is what gets converted into tasks and not visa versa. Right now I'm just working in Google Docs so almost anything could be better...
I think when the OP says concise they mean using several lines to make some logic clear, rather than a tricky little one liners. (like many of the mistakes in the article)
No, but you can join massive "private" groups and find rando people yourself.
The exact phrases in question are:

1. Black lives matter.

2. Trans rights are human rights.

3. No nazi bullsh*t.

Phrases 1 & 2 are well-recognized political slogans, and I don't like some of the organizations that have very vocally rallied behind these slogans.

Do you think that makes me a nazi? And if not, how welcome do you think this makes me feel?
Hmm, that would suggest that he both had better training about the robots (compared to a random food-packing-plant worker) but was also more comfortable around them (which is a huge risk with any powerful equipment, including automobiles.)
Still, a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in.

Refers to 2019 Pew poll which says:

"... a large majority of adults think that, in 30 years, most Americans will work into their 70s in order to have enough resources to retire. About a third of adults (34%) say this will definitely happen, and an additional 50% say this will probably happen."
From Matt Levine’ “Money Stuff”:

~~~

> In 2021, at the height of the investor frenzy for crypto startups, entrepreneur Chris Horne raised $2 million in seed funding for Filta, a marketplace on which customers could buy and sell custom nonfungible token face filters that could digitally augment their face, say, by adding cat whiskers or a block head. But by the time the company launched in late summer of 2022, enthusiasm for crypto had waned and Filta was faltering.
>
> So Horne pivoted to the new hottest sector: artificial intelligence. He ditched the NFT idea, and this year relaunched Filta as a generative AI-powered digital pet, one that talks and can offer its owner emotional support. The technology behind his new company is OpenAI’s large language model, ChatGPT. And Horne is running his new Filta venture off the capital he raised for his original concept.

That is probably the most cynical version of “crypto guy pivots to AI” I have ever read, but even here it’s an obvious improvement. Before, he was going to sell people pictures of cats on the blockchain. Now, he is going to sell people pictures of cats that will talk and offer emotional support and not be on the blockchain. Strictly better!

Basic age verification is pretty easy, no? I’m not sure about the details but this seems like a pretty low bar for a site like this. Not that I’m advocating it be required but just that if it were me I would not make something like this without at least making the best possible attempt at age verification.
Funny, I built a security camera setup with PoE CCTV cameras, GStreamer and the NVIDIA CUDA element using a Xavier platform. I tried SSDMobileNet and YOLO and found them to be absolutely horrible.

The camera that was pointing down at an angle was the worst. Both models would only identify a dog and a person correctly about 15% of the time (missing me or my partner as I walked by and waved), with an actual object detection about 80% of the time even when there was nothing in its ground truths in-frame!! (usually as desks, beds or chairs, i don't recall exactly but it was furniture - and it was pointed at my empty back lot). It had just as many shadow/sunspot/tree failures as Motion. The other camera at eye level did a great job with cars, but not so much with people's side profiles, only head-on.

It was laughably bad. And I have no intention of training my own models on my datasets because I don't have time to label. I did this in 2018-2019 so I don't know what the state of the art object detection models are like today, maybe they got their shit together for non-canonical angles.

I eventually switched back to full-time recording on a 2 TB HDD and if I need to scan back i can jog the livestream because it saves weeks of data.
Indeed. The real problem is python seems to attract people with no training in software development. It is a mess on top of a mess.
There's also a scene in Big Short where Ryan Gosling's boorish character mangles the quote, attributing it to Caesar.

When they say "our bodies" it's not clear (to me) whether they're including our gut microbes in that or not. We know very little about the microbes we host[1], so little that I'm not so sure it's wise to declare so absolutely that sugar is sugar is sugar.

It's not "the world is just a terrible place", but rather "the world inevitably has things that kids cannot handle". If you want digital entertainment for your kids, then seek out products which explicitly offer this. The unfettered Internet is a less appropriate babysitter than a red light district.

And talking about "age verification" as if it's some straightforward addition is an utterly dishonest framing. The core idea of the distributed Internet is the barest of communication which further complexity/policy can be layered on top of. "Age verification" actually implies the much more draconian and chilling meatspace identity verification.

Nobody has a problem with a DigitalKidsPlayLand which performs identity verification, strictly curates/moderates content, and escrows all activity for later review. It's this push to legally require such things for everyone, based on some idea that everything needs to be made kid-safe, that is horribly authoritarian and needs to be soundly rejected.
It could well have been a maintenance situation. Those tend to be extremely tricky to do safely, in spite of all the precautions, especially if you want to do some diagnostics without taking the whole thing apart.

I have religious respect for those arms, if they're powered up you couldn't pay me to get within reach.

Oh neat, I hadn't heard of them yet. Will follow that for sure. I miss Planetary Resources - I got hyped on that, but I guess they were too early.
I don't think that's quite accurate. Aspergers was always a form of Austism, the remove of the separation is more policy than anything. The label is useful for those who want to use it.
I don't really see what aspect of this situation involves a false sense of victimhood, unless you are referring to the multimillionaire founder who is unwilling to add age verification to their website.
If that's still an option, then they haven't reached the point yet where they have to choose.

They're promising yearly updates. I'm asking what happens when a new upstream feature has already gone uncertified for one full year. Either they blow past the deadline and release nothing for over a year, or they ship what's currently available.

There's no third option. Ferrous doesn't have a time machine, and AdaCore is just explicitly saying that they'll give you what they have at least once a year.
> There's more parking lots and roads reserved for cars then there's space for people to walk. When people think of walkable towns they mean something like this: https://youtu.be/zDLa-uCq9Ws?t=137

Ok but that's changing the goalposts of the discussion.

I totally agree it's more cute to walk in Heidelberg than the suburban area shown in that video (wherever it was). I've spent some time there and it was nice.

But the claim in the top of the thread was that in a suburb you are forced to stay home because it is basically impossible to walk anywhere, nothing is reachable on foot within reasonable distance. In my experience that's not true and I question whether it is true in most areas. Whenever I've lived in suburbs in the US (which is most of my life) I've always been able to walk to nearly everything I need within a reasonable & convenient walk. I often do because it's nice to walk.

If you change the discussion to be whether it's prettier and nicer to walk in a pedestrian street like in the video, then sure, I agree.
RTFM.

In Lithuania. No offense to any Lithuanians reading here, but I do not trust their banking regulators as much as French, German, Dutch, Nordic, etc. Obviously, selecting Lithuania is a clear case of regulatory arbitrage. I still cannot believe people are doing serious business with Revolut. Do you really think the Lithuanian regulators are going to help (catch bad behaviour) during a banking crisis? I have no faith.
Always blows my mind that that was written in 1909.

Despair is trendy, which makes doing it easier; it makes it normalized. Perhaps previously a 'I'm not going to give up; I'm going to keep fighting for what I care about!' message would be normalized, and because of that the Omegle founder would feel strong and supported instead of alone.

(I don't know the person or much about their situation; I'm just using what I read to make a general observation.)
100% agree i think the bigger issue is at least in the US and many other countries we have lost all faith that the people making those choices will do so in a responsible or ethical manner.

Essentially we lost faith in the system and I don’t think it will ever come back. So where do we go from here?
