> eIDAS changes this by, effectively, creating a special EU government analogue to the CA/Browser Forum. All browser developers in the EU have to trust eIDAS's CAs. This is a transfer of power from a voluntary industry consortium to appointed EU technocrats.

The flipside is that while it may be a "voluntary consortium", all major browsers are developed by entities based in the US, that are therefore subject to National Security Letters etc. (and, more insidiously, US social pressure). When the next Snowden-style revelation comes out, what's to stop the US security apparatus from blocking sites associated with it? So yeah, I see more upside than downside in my browser having at least some accountability to the EU.

> All those existing government CAs are currently audited by CA/B. If Greece gets caught misissuing certificates they can have their CA roots revoked by the browser vendors. The concern is that under eIDAS, the EU could just not revoke the certificate, and the browser vendors' hands would be tied. They'd be forced to accept known bad CAs and every cert they sign, including the spyware ones.

I mean sure, you have to accept the government of Greece's certificate because they're the legitimate authority, just like you can't refuse to accept a Greek passport because you think it looks dodgy or you've never heard of Greece. If their government is issuing bad certificates, normal government accountability mechanisms apply, just like with countries that are known to sell citizenships to the wealthy. Again that seems right and proper.
Antirez sucks! You could easily do this with Redis as a data store ;)
An example: Camera noise is often particularly annoying in the sky area. So I'll have two denoising filters active: A subtle one that doesn't lose much detail, and a strong one that only applies to the sky. Selecting the sky tends to be easy with a parametric mask: Just select the sky's hue and it's done.
Actually no, the game relies on the location of intervals on the fretboard based on where the root is.
I’m a commercial building systems engineering consultant and business owner, and have been visually impaired for >30 years (juvenile type of macular degeneration onset as an early teen). While I’m partially signed, I generally follow this space (though do not claim to be an expert).

+1 for this suggestion of starting by reaching out to your State if you’re in the US (or other government entity if outside) as a starting point for assistance. My state’s division for the Blind and Visually Impaired (DBVI) resources have been very helpful over the years. They provide adaptive tech kit for free (e.g., iPads, PCs, large screens) and software/instruction for those who need it).

The OP didn’t indicate whether their grandparent is retired (suspecting so?) but in that case, sometimes the State’s path is a little different—they put a huge effort into workforce development, and sometimes different efforts into adaptive tech & services for folks not intending to return to the workforce. In our state, there is an association for the blind that I believes handles more of those cases (but I don’t know for sure).

I’ll also give a +1 for everyone I know who is blind and visually impaired having an iPhone. It’s possible that platforms could be nearing parity now, but in the early 2010s there was just zero competition. I use iOS built in accessibility features every day and they have (not exaggerating) changed my life from an accessibility standpoint.

TL:DR - Yes go to your state, definitely good with an iPhone, built in accessibility features are amazing.
No it's not. And it takes much longer too.

It supports ALAC.

There’s a handy app called XLD (X Lossless Decoder) that will convert from FLAC to ALAC (and probably back) in a couple clicks if you need it. Lossless means I don’t really need to care whether my music is in an equivalent format, but I will admit it’s a bit silly.

I think Itch.io has a decent chance of picking up where Bandcamp left off. Out of the box it doesn't have a media player to preview singles on an album, but someone created a media player that you can add to an itch page to provide said support

I agree it's so good. Either the audiobook or run through text to speech and it's still ongoing
Can you though? The loose consensus model means there's little accountability and no practical way to opt out of listening to a particular entity that you don't trust. There are tales of essentially "someone with an @google.com email" being able to tell a CA to stop issuing certificates to particular undesirables, and the CA complying.

Yes. And I'm willing to pay for it in taxes, or directly to creators and hosts, but I'm not going to pay Google after the massive amounts of abuse and anti-competitive behaviors. I will never pay Google.

I don't accept that. Ads as "funding" for "free" content is a myth.
> They have the scale in terms of hardware, but they likely don't have the infrastructure to experiment efficiently on this scale on LLMs specifically

This reads like wishful thinking, in the absence of a real moat. Do you think the hyperscalers who are buiding data centers as quickly as they can get permits do not have the infra scale to match OpenAI? Who do you suppose has been providing ever-increasing revenue to Nvidia these past few years? They didn't start doing ML experimentation when ChatGPT was announced.

I agree that they aren't specifically giving LLMs all of their attention - their infrastructure still has to support existing, profitable products that bring in real revenue. I disagree that they can't experiment to the same scale.
Wikipedia says The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction described the show as "dire" and The Best of Science Fiction TV included the show on its list of "Worst Science Fiction Shows of All Time”. But the full episodes are available on YouTube, so as a fan of 70s sci-fi, I’ll decide for myself. :)
I think people who are looking for an alternative are not looking for piracy as an answer (many are aware that this is an option). Bandcamp is/was great because you could support the artist directly, with the site taking a modest cut, and you get DRM-free downloads in FLAC or MP3. I understand piracy exists, but Bandcamp is such a nice model that it actually decreased my desire to pirate. I would love for an alternative to pop up if it does crash.
Streaming content wars were a ZIRP phenomenon.
Things like this always make me a bit sad when things like mine test exist. Since projects like this depends on decompiled Minecraft source, they're legally still piracy.

Meanwhile, it probably would be simpler to implement some thing like hypixel in the open-source Minecraft-workalike minetest, where you'd be in much less legally muddy water.

But still nobody would play that. Because brand.

Software defined triggers is essentially what is meant with streaming readout. I try to avoid to use this, because it confused the heck out of people in the NP community. I prefer "software data filter", I think that's more accurate anyway, as the software trigger doesn't actually trigger anything anymore (in the sense of a QDC gate, for example), but just marks which data should be passed on and which should be dropped.

HEP is a lot further along on this transition, but I can tell you that virtually all NP experiments use either a standard hardware trigger, or at least a fixed latency hardware signal to readout from a (small length) digital or often analog buffer filled from a continuously converting ADC. One of the new detectors in SBS (one of the detectors in Hall A of Jefferson Lab) for example is read out with APV25 chips -- they need a fixed latency, electronic trigger signal.

I lived both events. Some rolling blackouts for some people is massively different than no power for many people for several days.

2021 was way colder for way longer. Sure on paper the same words are being used to describe it, some power outages over a few days due to the cold. But 2021 was way worse both weather-wise and grid-wise. In scale they're pretty much incomparable. In 2011 it got above freezing during the days and melted a lot of the snow and ice. It stayed well below freezing for many days in 2021, more days below freezing in many decades.

In 2011 a few friends had their power turn off for a few minutes every few hours for a couple of days. Most people I know never lost power. Stores stayed open. Transit was still operating. They even still managed to play the Superbowl at AT&T stadium.

In 2021 everything was shut down for nearly a week. No mail, no shipping services for several days. Stores were without power. Gas stations unable to pump gas because of no power. All the airports shut down. All transit shut down. There was a 100-car pileup on the highway.

I don't disagree about if the operators implemented the weatherization recommended in the NERC's report it would have at worst alleviated and at best completely prevented the issues that would have happened, but 2021 was still way worse than 2011. Other than they were both storms in February they're massively different in scales in almost every way.

The stacked line chart [1] of daily production by basin on the wiki page is very misleading. Following through to the source EIA data [2] and comparing Feb 2021 against Jan and March 2021 shows permian production down 19% from "average", the biggest decrease of the reported basins. The other basins you mentioned were between 13 and 18% below their "average". Of course this is a pretty big extrapolation from a monthly average number...

Aliens is more of a vanilla monster movie than scifi. I don't recall any science in it, other than the setting.

It's thought through: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38410024

But it's thought through as a person who is an amateur at best. I've taken literal introductory courses to programming in Fortran, Java, and R, have hacked together two or three VBscript programs, had a very slight one-day introduction to assembler in the Java course, and as a child was briefly in a summer program that had us "programming" a very simple robot (telling it to go certain lengths in certain directions). A former roommate said my pseudocode (when taking the Fortran course) looked like Pascal, and I used to watch him do some Forth programming.

So in terms of programming philosophy I am really, really clueless. But in terms of programming languages what I do have is a basic understanding of how incredibly diverse the languages are. And that a huge amount of this diversity is based on human preferences.

As an analogy to construction. Yes, there are a diverse number of techniques that can be used in constructions (yurts, hay-bail housing, etcetera). One could also draw an analogy to pre-fab construction as modular programming and libraries as kits (or whatever). But for the most part, outside of scale, it seems that most construction effectively standardized on a few "languages", if not a single language.
Ask HN: Things to learn to make money and live peacefully
I am interested to learn or do MOOC's. First thing is I don't believe in paid courses/MOOC's/Books. Generally I use to audit courses in platforms like Coursera/Edx/NPTEL/MIT OCW. Second and my main dilemma is what to learn so that my career will be sustainable for the long run (make money peacefully). Also I don't think MBA in reputed colleges make sense, I feel its a myth. On some deep research, Data management stuff's was reasonable to me. However in current era everyone speaks about AI/GenAI (Which I don't like), sustainability, META, Blockchain, Everything cloud, Now 5G (later other G's)...etc. Technologies will be keep changing and continuous learning process through out the life is an opportunity not everyone gets. So my understanding was to get foundational learning at a free of cost and career experience should be the learning process.

Share your thoughts on your realization which foundational learning at a free of cost can help to get career that gives balanced life .....So that people will not rush towards hypes.....

Sure! I find most responses (like the other one on this comment) talk about the social as it relates to the technical (what I call "atmosphere" in [this blog post][1]). I'll avoid that, since a) I think it's kind of obvious, and b) somewhat overblown. If Python has 20 CSV libraries and Elixir has 2, but they work, are you really worse off? I'll instead try to talk about "soil" and "surface" issues: the runtime, and assuming engineers know the languages already and what they allow for expressivity. Here we go!

Most of the BEAM isn't well-suited for trends in today's immutable architecture world (Docker deploys on something like Kubernetes or ECS). Bootup time on the VM can be long compared to running a Go or OCaml binary, or some Python applications (I find larger Python apps tend to spend a ton of time loading modules). Compile times aren't as fast as Go, so if a fresh deploy requires downloading modules and compile-from-scratch, that'll be longer than other stacks. Now, if you use stateful deploys and hot-code reloading, it's not so bad, but incorporating that involves a bit more risk and specific expertise that most companies don't want to roll into. Basically, the opposite of this article https://ferd.ca/a-pipeline-made-of-airbags.html

Macros are neat but they can really mess up your compile times, and they don't compose well (e.g. ExConstructor and typed_struct and Ecto Schemas all operate on Elixir Structs, but you can't use all three)

If your problem is CPU-bound, there are much better choices: C++, Rust, C. Python has a million libraries that use great FFI so you'll be fine using that too. Ditto memory-bound: there are better languages for this.

This is also not borne from direct experience, but: my understanding is the JVM has a lot more knobs to tune GC. The BEAM GC is IMO amazing, and did the right thing from the beginning to prevent stop-the-world pauses, but if you care about other metrics (good list in this article https://blog.plan99.net/modern-garbage-collection-911ef4f8bd...) you're probably better off with a JVM language.

While the BEAM is great at distribution, "distributed Erlang" (using the VM's features instead of what most companies do, and ad-hoc it with containers and infra) makes assumptions that you can't break, like default k-clustering (one node must be connected to all other nodes). This means you can distribute to some number of nodes, but it's hard to use Distributed Erlang for hundreds or thousands of nodes.

Deployment can be mixed, depending on what you want. BEAM Releases are nice but the lack some of the niceness of direct binaries. Libraries can work around this (like Burrito https://github.com/burrito-elixir/burrito).

If you like static types, Dialyzer is the worst of the "bolted-on" type checkers. mypy/pyright/pyre, Sorbet, Typescript are all way better, since Dialyzer only does "success typing," and gives way worse messages.

Yes, i agree with you. I'm just saying that once you're past a certain complexity threshold and you cannot abstract and encapsulate lower level components to make higher level ones and they all make sense at their level and you can zoom in and out it's hard to reason about any system.
Samsung frame TV, they're about 33% off this week from the typical price.

I know it has mixed reviews with the tech crowd but everyone I know that's gotten one for primarily aesthetic reasons loves it. I have an open floor plan apartment with not a ton of wall space, so I'm optimistic it will be a good way to have a TV when needed without making the TV such a focal point of the room. I'm also looking forward to getting exposed to new artwork in the shuffle mode.
