Is it still free speech if it may be a campaign by an enemy? China may prefer to send the West into disarray rather than teach their ways. We need to study China's approach rather than eat up propaganda and twisted media.

During cold war US didn't freely allow any USSR propaganda either. Although the late sexual revolution results does remind of 1920s in USSR.
The first spell-checkers were great.

I worked at Ericsson then. The word processor replaced every occurrence of "Ericsson" with "Erection".
Yes there is the "do what your paid for and quit whining" approach to leadership. But often being a good boss is worth more than a 20% rise. The stress of dealing with shitty bosses is just not worth it. Anything with the "your my subordinate get on with it" attitude just makes for a stinky job. Any boss that uses the word "code-monkey" is not for me.

Clearly the OP sees the net problem and wants to fix it. But you want to do it in a win-win way.

Yeah, I know, but a lot of this content can be pretty sensitive, and might not be allowed to upload outside organization networks sometimes (hospitals, governments etc).
Forced is not true and I did not say that, Russia could also have decided not to invaded. I also did not say that Ukraine has no reasons to want to join NATO, they have and they most likely had them long before 2014.

But none of that even addresses my argument, Russia opposed NATO expansion, Russia threatened severe consequences, NATO gave no signs that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO or entered any kind of negotiations, Russia delivered on its promise. The outcome was rather predictable, at least ignoring that Russia did not react as strongly to previous NATO expansions.

We can debate all day long whether NATO should expand, whether Russia should have any say in which alliances Ukraine enters, whether an invasion is a justifiable means, whether Russia would have invaded anyway if NATO would have given up on the expansion, that are all fair questions. My point is just that there was a relatively simple situation, Russia warns NATO, one step closer and there will be war, and NATO decides that it will make that step.

Somewhat related, RedHat withdrew from the attempt to productionize BRTFS, apparently it was fully removed in RHEL 8:

- https://access.redhat.com/solutions/197643

Also, there's a PDF doc (from a conference presentation), covering many layers of potential alternatives for ZFS features:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38484598

But "just" slapping all these layers on each other (configuring each individually and then hoping for the best) doesn't seem like the best idea for production systems either.

I guess back in the Sun/Solaris days, people still had the luxury of releasing (major) features in major versions, every few years instead of weeks or months... and as far as storage, backup, security solutions go - can't really do this right with the move fast & break things culture...
This ignores that people actually enjoy living in dense cities. There is a reason that so much media is set in NYC or a big city, people see it as exciting.
Sure, which is my entire point - "Europe" isn't one place with unified rules everywhere. The "green arrow means you have unconditional priority" is actually a rule in Poland too.......except when it comes to this tiny side arrow for turning right on red. With that one you have to give priority to people crossing.

As someone downvoted me, the reason behind my doubt is linked in an earlier article:

"Restrictive laws that criminalize criticism of what is officially referred to in Russia as a "special military operation" have stifled public expression of discontent in surveys, especially if people are asked a question about supporting the war."

And then they attempt to survey people with some magic tricks:

"But Moscow-based research group Chronicles said its survey of 1,600 people aimed for a truer snapshot of sentiment by asking questions that try to capture the meaning of "support" and would not put respondents on the defensive for fear of repercussions."

There are enough problems in traditional surveys even in Western countries about validity, i.e. whether the questions asked really measure what is intended to be measured. I don't have time to examine this myself but the details of the survey are here:

Thank you! I have only done cursory searches around a conversion.

I LOVE the retro feel of chonky skysensor so I would love to figure out how to keep the original motors and 5 pin plug. I have the original manuals and since the circuits are chonky too I suspect it would not be hard to make something compatible even without a bench scope.

This is a great link, I will dig through and see if someone has done what I want already.

> Ironically, the solution to this problem is more AI, not less. The phone needs to understand mirrors in order to make smarter HDR blending decisions.

No, the solution is for the phone to stop blending multiple distinct exposures into one photo, because that's the crux of the problem - that's the "AI transformation" right there, decorrelating the photo from reality.

> HN has a strangely luddite tendency when it comes to photography.

It's not about luddite tendencies (leaving aside the fact that Luddites were not against technology per se - they were people fucked over by capitalist business owners, by means of being automated away from their careers). It's about recognizing that photos aren't just, or even predominantly, art. Photos are measurements, recorded observations of reality. Computational photography is screwing with that.
How do y'all define 'similar music' anyway. I haven't found the perfect playlist creator or music recommender. Spotify's radio has a pretty low hit rate for me.
In some ways, I think there's a market for a multidimensional music similarity search tool or classifier (where playlists are basically classifications).

A few examples. I have a 'rock concert' playlist that maps on style, artist, era/decade, but not tempo (since rock concerts sometimes break up intense songs with less intense ones) and a 'slow lounge' playlist that maps onto instruments, average tempo, tempo variance within song, etc.

What I really want is a way to assign a feel or purpose across a few axes which are not just the typical 'genre'. Something actually objectively measurable like tempo, volume, etc.

Edit: As a side note, I found that country (like Alan Jackson) seems to work better in the car than some other song types. I think it might actually be a frequency thing where country is Darwinism optimized to be audible and enjoyable in old trucks?

Yes, except it is called "Moon Mode" isn't it? The iPhone default mode isn't called "unReality Mode", so they aren't saying they are faking it. I don't know if Samsung state it is faked, but Apple definitely does not.
That you save on a whole bunch of linkage and drive train components, four wheel drive without the associated complexity, that you can integrate the wheels, motors and brakes, cleaner airflow under the car and that the system as a whole can be lighter weight than the same package with motors near the centerline of the car, so you get somewhat better range. It also gives more space for batteries and/or more storage space. That's why manufacturers will keep trying to get this done, if they can get it to work cost effectively and without impacting that unsprung weight too much it will give them an advantage.
A good compromise could be running them through CMYK softproofing. As a bonus, you'll get colors that are more printable.
This weight limit is a good thing. You don't want amateurs driving such heavy vehicles around and killing people because they don't know how to handle it.

You can still drive one but you got to get another license.
The most extreme case being Samsung outright painting the moon in when it thinks a piece of picture is semantically likely to be the moon.

Whether the detail data is encoded as PNG or as AI weights is immaterial, it is adding data that is not there, by a long shot.

I think every car remembers that spot (or rather the area, which is the intention behind it) and after a learning period, only speedy tourists will hit the road.
Not the OP but in my case it was a Sanyo with 2 floppies.
Can electric vehicles (let alone this absurdly ridiculous example) reliably make it around the 'ring more than once without having to recharge? It seems like EV range drops off a cliff in all but the most idyllic driving conditions--flat road, minimal acceleration (cruise control), room temperature, no precipitation, aerodynamically clean, unladen. Add load, off-nominal temp, snow, drag, weight, etc. and range drops precipitously. One example I know of is a Model 3 doing a cross-country road trip in winter with two adults and their luggage couldn't do more than 75mi range per charge in Montana due to strong crosswinds. It would be great to see some actual data on off-nominal performance, which is what actually matters for a utility vehicle as opposed to a road toy.
Also "unknown in Europe" then explains the game is played in Ukraine... I understand some level of clickbait is needed to catch attention but that straight up lying here. I expected a game from Asia, Africa or South America.
I had this use case also in mind. Already tried with one book, but the results were not that good. Many of the tables and text boxes were messed up. I had pretty good results converting tables to markdown with ChatGPT by taking a screenshot of a table and pasting it to chat. It was able to handle some "irregular" tables with a bit of prompting. Like "Read the table row by row. Column headers are X, Y, Z. X is text, Y is number, Z is word" as a simplified example.

On the contrary, I'd say they handled the Unicode transition very well.

At work we had many, many thousands of lines manipulating strings, high and low level, and full project was over 300kLOC plus many heavy dependencies. We spent just a day or two to convert it to be Unicode capable.

Since we've had hardly any issues, and Unicode is not something we need to think about in the day-to-day.

> But don't forget that it is a sampling of reality; by definition always partial, and biased (biased to the 400~700 nm range, for starters).

This does not matter in any way. What matters is that, what comes out on the other end of filtering and bias, is highly correlated with what came in, and carries information about the imaged phenomenon.

This is what both analog films and digital sensors were designed for. The captured information is then preserved through most forms of post-processing, also by design. Computational photography, in contrast, is destroying that information, for the sake of creating something that "looks better".
> But should it?

How would it work if it wouldn't? He explains what he means by that. If you spend time and resources on all things the users require and your run out of money and go out of business, everybody loses.

Of course you can take any of the "rules" and take them to an extreme where they become wrong. But I think if you don't push them to their breaking point they are good rules of thumb :)

The yellow roads were a little visually overwhelming for me. They made it hard for me to focus on the map as they would tend to draw my attention away. The grey roads actually stand out better for me because I'm not visually distracted.

Some Dutch crosswalks give pedestrians always green, unless a car is detected, and then the pedestrian light turns red and the car gets green.

The advantage of this is that it's pretty easy to detect cars by detection loops in the road, and if you detect them in time, the car doesn't even have to slow down. Unless there are too many of them; then they will sometimes have to wait for pedestrians to cross.

I don't quite understand what the flags in Bellevue are for. Are there no traffic lights? But then what are the crosswalk buttons for?
You'd have to explain your optimism of things eventually getting better, given that they've largely become worse over the past 10-15 years. Maybe it'll just be meandering around a mediocre-at-best mean level long-term.
The better AA autocanon shells actually have a timed airburst fuze (set at firing time!) so only small fragments should be raining down (for non-dud shells).
"cleaner airflow under the car"?

Why should the airflow be cleaner?
Nationally, the US is having a red-state versus blue-state debate and this story tries to zoom in on local explanations rather than the weird national partisan contrasts.

This is congressional district 3, where Boebert won by primarying an established Republican. She gained traction with the national message that the legislative branch is dysfunctional, yet every constituent I meet knows it’s competitive and pragmatic. Her predecessor and challenger each could achieve specific improvements. Doing that job turned out too hard for her, and seeking national attention is itself a full-time job.

For example, Silverton is the last county seat in Colorado without fiber. So remote that finishing the line will take funds promoted by persistent politicians at the state and federal level. Yet, it’s a local issue; so you bet locals want to pressure their Congressional rep to work hard. Instead, the executive branch gets credit for any noticeable infrastructure improvements that CD3 experiences.

So, in the national partisan environment where the Democratic Party is often skewered for an obsession with identity politics, their President is in fact winning on the ground with boring infrastructure.
Incurable by the time it was caught and even then "incurable" can sometimes end up being curable with a ridiculous amount of resources.
Worse at doing calculations manually? Absolutely.

No it is because people don:t write documentation any more.

New languages tend to be open source and the ethos is read the source. Which I think is wrong.
In the video there was a brief animation at 5:06 showing the entire motor rotating with the wheel. So the CV joint (if you can call it that) wasn't really removed, just moved to the part between the motor and the chassis.

Release Notes for Retroshare 0.6.7
As somebody who's terrified of speaking on front of a group, I liked that the presenter is visibly nervous but also having a good time giving her talk. Also, she does a great great job of explaining her steps in a way somebody who has never done any kind of reverse engineering (that would be me) can understand.

I watched this one in 2012, although not live. There is a follow-up talk she gave one or two years later, "Many more Tamagotchis were harmed in the making of this presentation" that is equally enjoyable.

Most programs written in Pascal were UI programs (even in client-server model client was typically a specialized program, not browser), so rendering a string would indeed require a font file. You could pre-render and cache in RAM some frequently used glyphs (locale-specific alphabet, digits etc), but hitting HDD every time to render an emoji won’t be fast enough. Modern Unicode was simply not feasible.
The game is fun, had a very interesting match with some random person from the other side of the world, but it would be great if I could create a private lobby just to play this game with a friend over and over again :)

I’d need to check, but if one set of “ear and hole” can be swapped with another set, both sets have to be identical in shape and color. But if they split and attach to other edges rather than swap, that creates further connection.

If you think of the edges as nodes in a connected di-graph of ears and holes, possible pairs are connected: a swap is a two-pair cluster; further connection is a four-element chain with both ends open-ended. If that connection ties to more pairs, you might have a larger cluster of identical hears and holes. Given graph properties, that’s presumably most of them — see the prisoners paradox for why [0].

That would make the puzzle much more challenging to solve if most ears fit in most holes.

Hi ricg thanks for the great question! We have a docs page that speaks to this https://docs.powersync.com/usage/sync-rules/client-id:

"PowerSync does not perform any validation that IDs are unique. Duplicate IDs on a client could occur in any of these scenarios:

- A non-unique column is used for the ID.

- Multiple table partitions are used, with the same ID present in different partitions.

- Multiple data queries returning the same record. This is typically not an issue if the queries return the same values (same transformations used in each query)."
No, but if the parent's question goes beyond "how can this happen with reals" to "how can this happen with numbers in general", this answers his question.

I mean, that's more information for companies than me. And yes, every job I've been made an offer for and accepted has been much, much looser on the exact languages or actually looked at my submitted code samples if they were interested in understanding if I could actually write code.

One of the worst examples was Amazon. They gave no indication ahead of time, but I was presented with a coding test with only a small subset of languages. My chosen language was F# because that's what I was most comfortable with but of course it was unsupported in their online tool. I solved a problem using discriminated unions, pattern matching, and pipelines. The interviewers were very confused, a bit antagonistic that I'd choose anything other than Java (even though no one told me ahead of time that there was a limited selection), and proceeded to show their lack of knowledge. For example, the interviewer kept bringing up a violation of the open-closed principle in my code. However, as I explained to them, that principle is only really applicable to object-oriented code. Since I was using a union data structure and pattern matching, that principle is not really applicable, as the functional approach is a transpose of sorts from the OOP approach. But I just got blank stares and an automatic deflation in the room of the interviewers communicating that they were ready for the interview to end. What was mind-blowing about it is that my resume lists nothing but functional oriented programming languages, with not a single example of Java, and I have plenty of code examples posted. But yet, I get asked some dumb question about reading a file using some terrible online coding platform.
