One of the things I am working on is moving all our monitoring to grab and store into Azure Log Analytics.

This tool is rather smart, if it can hook into all the services then let me funnel it to Log Analytics that would be cool.

Not sure the value for others but using multiple platforms, our logs are everywhere. Would be nice to connect them all to Microsoft LAW then slowly replace each integration when possible.

I’ve had it bork my install so many times that in the end I spent more time recovering nextcloud than actually using it.

This is wildly unsafe.

- Some packages contain non-JS files for good reasons, and they may break in subtle unpredictable ways when you mess with the contents of their package.

- Node.js will happily run JavaScript files even if they're not "*.js": A file like "hello.alsdfhlshdfl" works just fine as long as its content parses. There is no guarantee that your dependencies (and their recursive dependencies) don't statically or dynamically load files with completely arbitrary filenames.

- If you distribute packages with license files stripped this way, you are violating licenses that require the license to be distributed along with the code.

If this is actually a major issue for you, consider instead sending PRs to upstream to tidy up their package. This will also benefit other users.

I'm not going to say that this isn't disappointing or isn't a real problem, but to say Google sucks at making hardware is a bit unfair, as every device has design issues.

If this is the major hardware issue this generation, then they're getting _much_ better. I've suffered tons of hardware issues over the years with mobile devices (the worst probably being the iPhone 7 with failing batteries and broken radios) and reliability on my Pixel phones has been pretty darn good over the years. I started with the Pixel 5, then the Pixel 6, now the 8 Pro.
I mean, this defeats the point of democratizing art. What's the point of driving the cost of an image to zero and replacing a craft with automated art of that level? Where exactly is the progress here? Are we expected to be impressed by speed or quality? Where is the value? The level of kitsch here is overwhelming. Should we applaud for more kitsch in the world?

Kinda seems idiotic that we're making PDFs of our resume data in the first place then. I know that's backwards historically, since paper resumes came first, but at this point it should just be a JSON file right? Let the hiring company's automation ingest the data and spit it out in whatever readable format they like.
Thank you for the suggestions!

1. I'm ordering a microscope mount right now! We went with 3D printing because we could get a very good coupling between the stick and the robot mount. See this figure for a comparison: https://i.imgur.com/vWopcFB.jpeg

2. Our dataset (and dataset export code) gives the depth as numpy files and trajectory information in a JSON file with calibration and trajectory information! The r3d export format from the Record3D app we used is simply a .zip file with renamed extension so we were ok with using it. Do you have suggestion as to which cinematic format you are thinking?
Ask HN: How to help a shy developer to participate to a team?
Hello HN,

I recruited a junior developer for my company who I knew to be very shy and reserved. He has been working with us for almost a year in an open-minded and low-hierarchical company.

He is a good player, but his shyness prevents him from sharing its ideas and contributing to the company's progress like any other employee.

Do you have effective management techniques that I could use to help him?

I'll probably suggest him to make small informal technical talks within the team or even in public to show him that he has things to share. But i'm sure some people tested very good method.

Thanks for your responses \o/
He's already golden parachuted out of Unity, but it's not solely (or even primarily) his decisions that have driven Unity to this point. The board replaced him with another random suit to continue along this path.
> To do what ?

Is it not obvious? It's the same purpose as XCode Cloud and Ubuntu Pro and Office 365; force users to pay recurring fees for basic functionality. This is what service-ification of completely normal software looks like, our penance for not caring enough as consumers.

Technically, any SD model can do inference in a single step, SDXL Turbo just is an improvement in quality with a small number of steps (per the comparisons in the announcement, at 4 steps it is a little bit better than SDXL base at 50 steps.)

EDIT: When I say "just", I'm not saying this isn't super impressive, just that the change is in quality of low-step-count generations, not making it possible.

As different standards proliferate it makes me worried that we will have less interoperability not more, as programs only have limited resources and pick one format they focus on supporting and perhaps half-assing another. (How) do you plan to adress this? Are there plans for some library for dealing with these files to help adoption? What will be the best way for users to convert from MusicXML to MNX and back? Is losslessly roundtripping MusicXML an explicit goal? (I assume losslessly roundtripping MNX will not be possible in general as you intend to add new features to MNX that MusicXML doesn't have and will never have).

I think the biggest no-nos on this hack would be that it'd need to be certified and since it fundamentally changes the UI for the pilots, everyone would need to be retrained.

If it was AI enhancement, the entire image would have bizarre artifacts, which it doesn't.

It's likely that the faces were washed out by the light and the original photographer many years ago 'enhanced' it by scratching some facial features into the developed photographic plate, which was pretty common at the time.

It probably worked because nobody made giant prints of the photo until now when it was scanned at high resolution.

I applaud this project's focus on correctness and efficiency, but I'd also really like a version of `jq` that's easy to understand without having to learn a whole new syntax.

`jq` is a really powerful tool and `jaq` promises to be even more powerful. But, as a system administrator, most lot of the time that I'm dealing with json files, something that behaved more like grep would be sufficient.

I would totally agree with this.

I'm often both the producer and consumer though, and the consumer side is painful enough I tend to avoid journald.

From the producer side, I typically use a logging library/extension that handles its own log rotation and doesn't require logrotate. It's a half-dozen lines of code or so, not too onerous.
Using only math functions provided by Google Sheets, you can create and train an AI model in a table. No plugins and no scripts. You get to see the matrix change for each cycle of the training process.

This could also be useful for importing a pre-trained model from Pytorch or Keras, as long as the model weights moderate size. Most spreadsheet use cases like business modeling, sales channels and budget planning can easily fit into smaller models.
> I think you are too optimistic. While we can do everything you state, I don't think there is enough demand. Most people don't want to be a pilot these days, the exceptions are not enough to support all the R&D needed to get there.

Just beware that some files may seem unnecessary but are expected from an idiomatic npm package. Three things that come to mind -- a markdown file named README.md, any generated typescript definitions, and typescript/babel sourcemaps. And something I've seen far too often: please don't give a minified, rolled up bundle as the only option, otherwise you are chucking your library's users back into the dark ages of Bower.js.
The problem isn't implementing it, the problem is making sure the implementation doesn't fuck up everything else.

In general, this implies that video metadata is immutable from the source...because the easiest way to do this would be to change the metadata. This is strange because Amazon renumbers episodes and seasons for some foreign shows (the Goes Wrong Show comes to mind).

Anyway, it seems the easiest way would have been to change the preview component to play a specified episode, then add a field and UI to set that specified episode on the series metadata (defaulting to S01E01). Then the question is, "who sets that and how?" That leads into a rabbit hole of who would actually do that, which is probably going to be different for different shows. And any human intervention in the media process will be ugly and awkward. But - since this is a human override, there should obviously be a workflow exception. So there needs to be a permission on the users and a field on the shows.

That's a couple of changes to a few different systems. How do you add a field to series metadata? How do you add a UI option to the metadata management? How do you add a permission on a user/group?

Digging in might take a week or two. Implementing the changes depends on the change control and testing requirements of the various systems. A quarter to deploy from dev to production might be accurate. In a smaller shop it would be a week or two, but Netflix needs to worry about breaking their stuff.

It occurred to me recently that, at least in the US, the poorest households do not have dishwashers, and to this day consider them to be a luxury.

The same cannot be said for washing machines. Everybody uses a washing machine. If you don't have one, you use a laundromat. Even the poorest do not wash their clothes by hand with a tub and washboard like the olden days.

This comment has no real "point." I just wanted to share what I think is an interesting observation on this topic.

Many stories from people creating documentation only for it to get thrown away. Let me share an opposite one:

I bought a house that was empty after divorce, both had moved out some months before. We mostly dealt with the agent, only saw one of the previous owners for a very short time at the signing meeting with the notary.

Then in the house we found a "congratulations on your new place" card, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a binder with everything about the house. Building plans, updated plans for changes made, exactly where every cable and connection was, and manuals, invoices and warranty certificates for equipment in the house. And a hand drawn map of the garden with what type of plant was where, and links to plant care instructions for some of the more exotic plants.

Super nice of the previous owner to arrange these things, and I'm still thankful every time I need to get a cable somewhere or do some small construction things. Having detailed and accurate plans and overviews saves a lot of time.

Strange.

How is that different from say, a function call? A function may look like a single O(1) operation from the input/output/name, but actually do something much more complex. That seems like the same thing to me, and very common. (and frankly I'm not sure that could even be avoided)
The idea of a super thin client in the form of a light laptop with amazing battery life connected to something like this seemed appealing a few years ago.

Usually, yes, but when it's a bug in the hardware, it's not really that Python is fast, more like that CPython developers were lucky enough to not have the bug.
Yeah, agreed. I guess "bring the heat" implies combat but standing one's ground calmly (or, refusing to accept the person's heat) is better.
The Mercedes example is just strictly in response to the idea that property X of a system must somehow (already) be present in one of its sub-components. It doesn't.

So a concept like free will could exhibit itself in the output of -say- a turing machine, (or turing-like entity, like a DNA strand - think tape and multiple read heads), even if none of the components has that property.

I do actually think that certain [deterministically] chaotic systems have a lot of the properties we associate with free will (the ability to make some sort of sensible choices that still seem 'random'); so I tend to see them as very similar concepts. You might have a different definition though!

I'm not a fan of the removal of the stalks, but this deserves clarification.

On the 2017-2023 Model 3, there's a button at the end of the left stalk that immediately activates the wiper. It's basically a mist button, which is also common on most every other car I've driven. So you can always get the wipers to activate instantly without getting anywhere near the touchscreen.

On the 2024 Model 3, with no stalks, there is a steering wheel button on the right that serves the same function. Push for mist, hold for wash. Same as the button on the pre-2024 model.

Stalkless is probably still going to be a deal killer for me, but still.
What is problematic about that is that you don't fix existing discrimination by just condemning something while pretending that just as long as you don't make it worse you're not perpetuating the effects of what is there.

In other words, if you run a conference and everyone who applies to speak is a white man, and you don't ask yourself why and what you can do to make that more reflective of society, you're helping to entrench the effects of discrimination in a way that makes your claim that your ideal world state doesn't have that discrimination ring entirely hollow.

I'm not sure this is true. Yes, steerability is the main benefit of ABS, but I think bringing wheels from a slight roll to skid absorbs more energy (through deformation of the rubber) then just skidding along would under the same time frame. I.e. ABS does marginally decrease stopping distance -- at least on asphalt -- compared to plain skidding friction.
I was just thinking about this the other day. If I had to build a new OS built on top of a web interface that controlled an operating system, installed programs, opened files with set programs, shared between programs, and made it all cloud based, what would it look like? How could I do that?

The front would have a set number of UI concepts, theme, interface commands and controls. The back would have data that would appear in the form of drop downs, item list, buttons, images, colors, etc (i think that covers everything).

And then a special renderer would be paired with the interface. This renderer would depict (a VNC?) things like the layout of a webpage (... by firefox?), the structure of a cad drawing, the photoshopping of a 1 GB image, the 10,000 messages in your inbox, all based on the data obtained from the web.

I am not too familiar with GPU stuff so I don't know how much the renderer can partially leverage a local GPU versus a cloud GPU.

I wonder if its because we're sometimes talking cross purposes.

For me, coding is almost exclusively using python libraries like numpy to call out to other languages like c or FORTRAN. It feels silly to say I'm not coding in Python to me.

On the other hand, if you're writing those libraries, coding to you is mostly writing FORTRAN and c optimizations. It probably feels silly to say you're coding in Python just because that's where your code is called from.
