I don’t know, and I meant no disrespect. This was just the first comment on HN that struck me like that so I mentioned it.
>You'll certainly NEVER see rolling shutter in any PRACTICAL application for video unless you pan like a true madman

Fast lateral movement doesn't just happen on a whip pan. Any scene involving fast vehicles, high speed machinery or strong vibration is likely to have some level of rolling shutter artifacts. Many perfectly normal tracking shots will have some artifacts, particularly if you're shooting handheld. Modern fast-readout sensors are very good, but they aren't perfect; to a great extent, we've just got used to seeing mild rolling shutter artifacts and don't immediately recognise them as an image quality defect.

There are still lots of good reasons to use rolling readout sensors, but there are also many real advantages to global sensors.
Well if you can't, then I guess we shouldn't be complaining about feeding brains and average employees who just want to follow specs
I too have gone back to ripping Blu Rays, but it is a pain. Sometimes I buy the blu-ray, then torrent the digital files.

If they'd just sell me a DRM free digital version, I'd be all over it. I'd probably end up paying _more_ than I do in subscriptions knowing I can watch how I want, when I want, for as long as I want.

I spend way more than $15/month on bandcamp for DRM free music (vs Spotify plan), give more money to artists, and cut down on streaming costs of the platforms.
I'd like to point out that Betteridge's Law is, like any other such "law", kind of tongue-in-cheek. It's not serious.

The real point of my earlier comment was that I was voicing an opinion that it is not the case that we are "achieving AGI incrementally", and I referenced Betteridge's Law as a way of making that point.

I may have misunderstood, but I did not read this as saying "S3 suspend works". I read it as "'Modern suspend' works, so I don't have to keep trying to get S3 suspend working".

That is basically the opposite of what you want. 'Modern suspend' is why you burn battery with the lid closed, overheat your laptop when it's closed in a backpack, etc. It sucks. It's not sleeping in any real sense and can power up to full power if a fly farts too close to the microphone.

For better or worse (worse IMO), I think that what we knew as "suspend to RAM" or S3 is gone forever. It was apparently just too hard to get working reliably with all the peripheral hardware and they gave up.

Everything I have read says that for any recent laptop, if you want reliable suspending that won't burn battery you have to always "hibernate" or "suspend to disk". It takes longer to start back up but initializes all the peripherals from "off" so it can be more reliable.

I'm still working with my older HP laptop that has legit S3 and am dreading an upgrade to a "modern" one.

The fact that code like this would get acceptable performance is amazing! By modern standards, there’s maybe a few cycles (assuming no cache misses) in the loop body plus that INT instruction. That’s maybe 20k cycles for the round trip (read IDT and GDT, go through the whole awful ucode flow, and jump to kernel, then do the work, and the do IRET, which is, again, amazingly slow).

Fortunately, I’m pretty sure the CPUs that were intended to run this code were rather more efficient at interrupts (in terms of cycles) than modern x86 monsters.

Intel is at least trying to fix this with FRED.
The book buy back time by Dan Martell has been one of the more interesting and actionable books I've read in a while.

For me, generalists with experience (a lot of different specific skills) and have learned how to learn so they can solve problems is key.

A lot of thie hiring in the start, especially self-funded can be a little counter intuitive. The purpose of hiring is to free you up to work on more valuable parts of things, assuming you want to work on those things.

If you focus on hiring people better than you, it will get you more free time.

Some people rather than equity, focus on what folks are really after, payouts. Doing rev or profit share can be easier than dealing with the mess of shares, especially if you don't know if they will be devoted to it long term like you.

For sales roles especially finding someone who can become a better sales person than you, it might involve a rare exception and providing ongoing commission as long as the customer is engaged on the system, and the sales person remains there.

In terms of looking for the talent, if you are looking for fractional assistance before full time, online sites like upwork can help find the people who are ready for something stable.

The book above will give some food for thought and there are others I'm sure too.

It's hard to fault a study that is essentially a release of raw data collected with minimal analysis. It appears transparent with its methods as well as its biggest limitation (self-selected participants).

Still I wonder if the survey they administered is really measuring smartphone addiction vs social media addiction and smartphones happen to be the most convenient delivery mechanism. This makes the participant selection limitation a bigger issue because the paper says participants learned of the study through social media among other methods.
Sorry but why the downvotes? Because some techno-bros here like being part of a giant pyramid scheme?

Phone companies want to make their services look good and differentiate, so they look for any opportunity to do that with the hot properties on the market.

Then streaming services want to increase their reach, so their sales teams will do a deal with as many partners as possible to tap more audiences.
I never understood the rationale behind “We routed your tax dollars away from schools and roads and stuff to build an arena/stadium so you can’t watch this game”

If anything, I’d expect the opposite: If your tax money didn’t directly subsidize one of the teams, then you pay extra.

(Personally, I try my best to just ignore that corner of the industry as much as possible.)
I got another round of rona in February of this year and suddenly became so tired. I needed 14+ hours of sleep and concentrating was next to impossible. The fatigue was overwhelming at times. Some six months later I'm on my way out of that now, with more good days than bad.

It's good that she had you to rely on. I did a lot of reading on long covid and there were and so are so many people isolated because they're basically spent all the time.
'algorithm' in that context is not a computer program, but a flow chart or decision tree made by distilling the result of various medical trials.
Microservices is what you get when you couple the four views explained in the "4+1 architectural view model" paper. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a bad idea, typically.
So, where are the common social (minimum) standards?

Regarding Greece, mind that Greece debt was totally covered by German restitution obligations, which is also why banks (among them prominently German banks) rushed to propose credits to Greece, since this was backed by the German economy, supposedly a safe bet. It was only when Germany allowed itself a unilateral haircut that this became problematic. (Also compare the London Agreement on German External Debts, where the payment part has been factually canceled in favour of Germany. As an effect of this, while, e.g., the UK was repaying lend-lease debts right into the 21st century, significantly hampering its economy, Germany came out this without any war-related obligations, even – compare the Greece pension treasuries – taking ultimate possession over some of the war-time "acquisitions", while enjoying recronstruction aids at quite a scale. There's a major imbalance in this.) Moreover, the common currency provides more developed industries access to poorer markets on equal footing, thus providing the means for a transfer from the poorer, mostly Southern economies to the richer, Northern ones. Any attempt at a common control of bond rates just mitigates the effects of the common currency for those countries. (Opposing this is much like wanting to eat the cake and still have it, which isn't prone to work out well.)
Olkiluoto-3's budget also overran a lot to reach 11b. It's also an extra reactor at an existing nuclear plant so perhaps that somehow reduces costs, and it's built by a very established company.

Now, on the other hand, as far as I know NuScale never built a commercial reactor before... so we'll see how many of their current projects actually come to life.

Uh, what? Why are you telling people to violate the NEC? Do not use strut as a raceway, why would you suggest that? It’s way more expensive than a UL listed raceway, and not suited for raceway purposes anyway.

For surface mounting, use a listed surface mount raceway: https://www.legrand.us/wire-and-cable-management/raceway-and...

Legrand makes many different sizes of surface raceway.

If you want pathways inside a wall, use a listed conduit (PVC or EMT), if you’re fishing into existing walls you can make sleeves out of EMT or PVC (drill a hole and slap bushings on both ends)

If this case were actually as open-and-shut as you seem to think, would it really have dragged on for seven years? What was issued today isn't even a ruling. It's just an opinion that will now be carried forward into further arbitration.
An audience is incredibly valuable. You can launch anything and instantly have hundreds or thousands of users. Startups would kill for such easy access to interested people. I didn't realise how valuable it was until I had an audience. It feels like cheating!
Yeah. Stable Diffusion itself is a bit on an oddball because there are so many actual dreambooth finetunes, not to speak of the merging culture.

Also, it all still runs in PyTorch eager mode last I checked. So it isn't even to the point where discussing optimized kernels like this is necessarily relevant.
IP alone makes it fairly tricky for non-state actors to identify someone, just roughly geolocate them. Good for freaking out people that don't know how the web works, but not useful for much more.

The flip side is that p2p means that nobody is snooping in on those video conversations. Omegle couldn't spy on it's users once they had entered a video chat. It was also fairly easy to see how they implemented the monitoring they did if you have a webdev background: periodically in between chats the omegle client requested an image from your cam.

I believe the whole video chat component, while initially using flash, was ultimately implemented using WebRTC, which is pretty cool and as shame more places don't make use of this.
Yeah I did Spotify for a while, but then went back to just buying DRM-free albums instead. I'm probably spending about the same amount, and I choose when I want to spend the money instead of just opening yet another vein for some corporate leech to suck my blood from.

> it is obvious social studies can not have the rigor of Newtonian physics simply by the difference in running experiments for each discipline.

To my mind (trained in statistical Physics), you don’t have to abandon rigour when looking at complex systems. We can build models for things we don’t understand perfectly and we can rationalise experiments even if we don’t control everything (we rarely ever do). I think it’s a difference in degree rather than nature.

The fact that many sociological studies are not reproducible does not mean that we cannot learn anything by observing and investigating correlations. It means that we need to be more serious while doing it.

> You really can't take a thousand babies, isolate them and run experiments to see what is a social construct and what is not.

You’re right. But this means that the emphasis moves from the experimental setup to the data analysis, and also that the results need to be discussed in terms of trends and likelihood more than verified facts. The field could still do away with p-hacking, data fabrication, and dodgy ideologies.

There are plenty of physicists who publish rubbish because they set out to prove a pet theory and become victims of confirmation bias. That tendency is present everywhere, it is just stronger in fields where you cannot control as much the system you observe.
Hey Paul, I'm a Mentat author.

We were inspired by you to use Exercism as a benchmark, thank you! We will add attribution for that. We switched our original instruction prompts for that benchmark to be similar to Aiders to allow for fair comparison.

We have an unused implementation of your output response format (https://github.com/AbanteAI/mentat/blob/main/mentat/parsers/...), but I don't know what else you are seeing? We implemented that to compare with our response formats and didn't find much difference in performance.

How is that a conspiracy theory? At most, you can argue that it's not absolutely conclusive or that other studies reach different conclusions. But that's far from declaring something a conspiracy theory.

The article:

By Ivan Penn and Brad Plumer
Published Nov. 8, 2023Updated Nov. 9, 2023, 3:42 a.m. ET

A developer of small nuclear reactors announced on Wednesday that it was canceling a project that had been widely expected to usher in a new wave of power plants.

NuScale Power, a company in Portland, Ore., said it lacked enough subscribers to advance the Carbon-Free Power Project, which had been expected to deliver six of the company’s 77-megawatt reactors. Although more than two dozen utilities had signed up to buy electricity from the reactors, which would be in Idaho, that number fell short of what NuScale said it needed to move forward.

The Carbon-Free Power Project was the result of an agreement between NuScale and Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, which supplies electricity to public power providers in seven Western states, including California. The project was first proposed in 2014.

“This decision is very disappointing given the years of pioneering hard work,” said Mason Baker, chief executive of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems. “We are working closely with NuScale and the U.S. Department of Energy on next steps to wind the project down.”

The decision to cancel the project followed an update from NuScale this year regarding the cost of building the reactors, which had soared to $9.3 billion from $5.3 billion because of rising interest rates and inflation.

NuScale had needed to triple the number of customers for the Carbon-Free Power Project by February. The company, which also has an agreement to deliver its technology to Romania, told investors that it would repurpose materials developed for the Carbon-Free Power Project for other customers.

NuScale’s stock price fell more than 20 percent, to $2.37, in after-hours trading. Its value has declined more than 70 percent in the past 12 months.

I'll repost an older comment of mine here on the Humanities and their struggles:

Eidolon is a now defunct online magazine specifically about the classics. The last thing they did was publish a 'fail' essay. In it the head editor, who holds a PhD from Princeton in the Classics, goes through all the challenges, mis-steps, and lessons they all learned. 'Fail' essays in tech are a dime a dozen. But in the classics, they tend to be rare. As such, Eidolon's essay is a goldmine.

Two things stuck out to me the most:

1) This passage was particularly worrying: "I’m not going to downplay the extent of the problems we’re facing. In addition to the concerns facing Classics specifically and the humanities more widely, there are also enormous and terrifying problems facing higher education in general. Even before the massive disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, these problems already looked insurmountable: on one side the student debt crisis, which has financially crippled an entire generation, and on the other side the increasing precarity of the academic workforce has made teaching Classics (and every other discipline in academia, really) a terrible professional prospect. This is not to mention academia’s endemic problems with classism and sexual harassment."

2) The author/head editor was Donna Zuckerberg. If that name sounds a bit familiar, it's because it is. She is the sister of Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest people in history. That her assessment of Eidolon's efforts is so dour and bleak, despite her astronomical privilege, should register that there is indeed 'something wrong in Denmark'.

The rest of the essay goes into much more depth about what exactly is wrong. But the essence is simple: The Humanities, and the Classics specifically, are Dead.
