The guy holds it up briefly on the video - it's clearly a prototype, but it's a small black box, open on two sides, one side with dual db9 ports, the other with the usual sbc ports, usb, hdmi, etc etc

Don't know which sbc it is, but it looks pretty simple, with the db9 looking to perhaps be a daughterboard/hat/extension hooking up to GPIO type connectivity at a guess

I suspect most of the development is in the software with the GUI, and licensing various packages etc.

> Global warming didn't seem to happen? Uhh.

Seriously, in your experience, has it changed? And, if so, how do you determine that?

For myself, I've noticed nothing special. Seasons change with some warmer than average some colder than average... But that's weather isn't it - it changeable. I really can't say anything seems that different from my youth. The seas are certainly the same height.
This question is too broad to receive any satisfying answer. What's beneficial for a freemarket supporter is probably hurtful for a communist, with a lots of nuances in between. Also arguably the phenomenon is new in its current conditions, so historical precedents wouldn't be persuasive. However, the fact is that big influx of culturally different people usually upsets societies (and it is as much true for, say, India, or Kenya as for Netherlands), and it is reflected in political opinions shift. It's objective reality we can observe, and rhetorically discarding it (as a 'token thing') won't make it disappear.

Tell HN: What's your point?" needs to die
OK, that's a bit of an overstatement. When confronted with a meandering, vague, or poorly worded post, "what's your point?" is a perfectly reasonable reply. (Although just ignoring it is also a perfectly reasonable action. If you do reply, some encouragement toward clarifying might be helpful: "I can't tell what you're trying to say. Could you clarify?"

But I'm getting very tired of "What's your point?" replies used to mean "I disagree with your point, so I'm going to try to pretend that you don't have one", even when the point is perfectly obvious to any objective reader with a halfway-decent command of English. It's either a cheap, dishonest rhetorical trick, or it's a mark of someone who's so committed to one viewpoint that they cannot conceive of another viewpoint even existing, let alone being valid.

That use of "What's your point?" needs to die.

What's the best order to tackle these if you've never done any year before and wanted to work your way through them all at your own pace (skipping the competitive aspects of leaderboards etc.)

Are there spoilers, callbacks and references that make it best to start at the beginning and work chronologically? Is there ranking of difficulty (and/or fun) that let you start easy and work your way up?
Real estate investors expect to earn income from the properties they buy, and thus try to rent them out, especially when interest rates are above zero as they are now. Often the financial plan assumes that rental income will be used to pay the mortgage, property taxes, and other costs.
It's also extremely interesting to think about how much the statistics or thought process will change if we just find _one single additional planet with life_ - then what kind of life, etc.

Somehow finding a second planet with life seems statistically infinitely more significant - the whole thing right now is a data experiment, and for now earth (as far as we know) is an anomoly - a single "positive" data point across thousands and thousands of "negative" data points.
Is that really what's happening here though? Seems like the author is using the app with their toddler, and it's only a tool to do something in the real world.

First civilians aren’t always innocent, often they are active participants, out of necessity to survive, in war. Two, appeals to emotions don’t change the calculus of war on the level of a society. We are both individuals and a society. We have roles as both. People will go to war putting their own selves in harms way to protect ideals, family, whatever. Look at Ukraine. They could simply submit. Should they stop fighting? Rationally they should.

With current technology NASA get 3100s of specific impulse for ion drive, 2.3kw, 92mN. For a larger ship, not just small satellite, it should be doable to increase the voltage and get 10x specific impulse at 10x power with the same thrust. A nuclear reactor without much protection - on a long stick with small screen protecting only direction of the payload - can be something like 5-10kw/kg. That allows to have 90% of the mass to be propellant, and thus reach the speed, in about 30 years of acceleration, of more than 600km/s. With 2 stages, in 60 years with some optimization/etc. we can get 1500km/s, or 800 years to Alpha Centauri.

Also, as we're focusing on the tasks, it helps make it easier to spot when a task isn't as simple as we original thought it would be and gives the rest of the team a chance to offer to offer to help.

It would actually be great news. Your argumentation is sound, but in reality there either is a big filter ahead of us or there is not, this will not change at all when we find alien life.

That coupled with the fact that the talent pool and tooling for game development were limited. Having id at your back was a superpower (which is arguably still true today when you compare their tech to other engines).

Math is the canonical one. You need arithmetic to get to algebra. You need algebra to get to geometry. You need geometry to get to calculus. Everything builds on each other, so you can’t skip to calculus when you barely know how to add.

There is a component of most domains where you figure out the fundamental building blocks and you can learn a bunch of different branches in any order without much overlap, but that’s usually after the initial mastery equivalent to math’s calculus.
Ask HN: Did you sign a Photo Release Waiver?
Hello HN,

I'm working on a project aimed at assisting companies and employees in the rights management of photo content - specifically, how they collect, distribute, and protect photos of individuals to mitigate risks such as litigation, deep fakes, and unauthorized use.

In this context, I'm keen to gather insights into the real-world handling of photo release waivers in the workplace:

Have you, as an employee, ever signed a photo release waiver? Could you share the circumstances (e.g., for company marketing, website representation, etc.)?

Who in your organization is responsible for collecting these waivers? Is it HR, legal, or another department?

Additionally, how does your company ensure the proper use and protection of these images once collected?

Your experiences and insights are invaluable to my project, providing real-world perspectives on current practices and challenges. I'm particularly interested in understanding both the employee and employer perspectives on this matter.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

In Europe it's not so much that years get warmer, but that winters are less cold. I expect many parts of the U.S. are similar.

Frost would typically kill a lot of species, except a few that are specialized to withstand it. Withstanding frost is often a trade-off. So if this threat is removed, many native species have a disadvantage.

(I'm beekeeper and many of the threats to native honeybees are because (European) honeybees put a lot of energy into preparation for long periods of frost,while their adversaries don't do that. It's a bit like the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. Only now it turns out the grasshopper was right all along, in not caring)

That's the p2n layer that already exists in PeerTube through the redundancy feature in federation.

Federated instances that enable redundancy copy all resolutions of a video that meet chosen criteria of popularity. When a user views the video on PeerTube, their browser grabs the sections of the video from any of the PeerTube instances that have a copy, creating an ad-hoc distributed CDN. This covers the mid-level of popularity and keeps the hosting instance from getting slammed on bandwidth.

If something goes viral, or during livestreams which are by nature simultaneous, then the p2p in the browser between viewers kicks in and reduces load on the peering servers even more.

I'm going in the assumption that you don't have much experience with public procurement in scientific research.

1- Companies like Thermo, Agilent and all the others spend a long time developing "sole-source" documents. Effectively a list of BS specs that only they can achieve and/or offer. Sometimes it's a specific technology (e.g. "must be this patented tech because reasons" and pull out a bunch of references) or a specification. Like Thermo is infamous for "molecules per ion" with some of their mass specs. It's totally meaningless on a practical level and can't even be accurately assessed. But they made it up, and anytime a competitor tried to put down a better number the response is "prove it". The competitor can't. That's one way to ensure you'll win. It can also be buried in the main cost of the instrument, or listed as a critical upgrade, whatever.

2- you're giving waaaaay too much credit to the University or Research Institute evaluators. This has always worked, somehow or other, there's a way around the rules for a determined researcher to get their toy. Plus, if $200K is awarded for instrumentation, then $200K is precisely what the widget will cost.

You can argue with hypothetical "this is how they world should work", I'm speaking from a decade of experience of sitting in sales meetings with our rep shooting a number from the cuff that's high enough to make it worth his while to file an ROQ, but within the range to fly with procurement, and can be sole-sourced. Sometimes every year for 3 or 4 years, especially if the researcher is a star who consistently brings in grants.

Also, I don't know where you are, but if an external consultant is hired (LOL) they're probably already consulting the companies on getting around public procurement rules
> So you can not even point to any independently verifiable systems or even evidence that supports your claim that products from those vendors can be used to make high assurance systems.

Sure, buddy. I'll get right on that. Right after you provide some evidence for the claims you kicked this thread off with:

> There are exactly zero large scale commercial IT companies that can deploy systems that can protect against commercially-motivated criminal attackers let alone well-funded intelligence agencies.

> Companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Apple, etc. are just systemically incapable of deploying or even developing secure systems.

Please note: pointing to individual incidents of products from these companies getting compromised isn't evidence that no products from these companies can be used in any way to make a high assurance system. Particularly if the incident in question was a result of a user-misconfiguration of the product in question. Neither is hand-wavy claims that "competent offensive software specialist" claim that "everything is easily hacked".

I spent a lot of time maintaining a lot of Perl code. While it was generally very well written, it also made me a big fan of strict, demanding compilers. Perl is quick to write, but can have very high debugging costs since it'll let you get away with a lot that it shouldn't like having a function called with arguments but that completely forgets to retrieve them.

Based on my experience, IMO any class of error that can be eliminated, should be.

ah yes, jQuery. Indeed hide()/show() just set css to display: none/block, but it can vary (inline/flex/...).

CSS is a bit of a mess the last few years, with so many caveats... Just look at why position sticky will sometimes not work: "If you are trying to use position: sticky and it is not working, it is because one of the elements wrapping it is using overflow with a value of hidden, auto or scroll."[1]

But it's weird, it should work, or at least this should be documented somewhere. Also why should overflow: hidden break the functionality... If you know all the caveats of css, then you can safely say "I know CSS".
