> I just wanted to make it sufficiently difficult for when 23andme inevitably sold out, got gobbled up, or turned evil.

You might as well add "hacked" to that list given recent events.
I use a Librem 5 as my daily driver without carrying a second phone around.

The battery thing is not an issue for me in practice. I carry a spare battery (they're swappable), but I never actually need it because there's USB-C chargers everywhere I go, and I made it a habit to plug it in whenever I can.
> Finally, a decade later (or less), you'll have to replace the vehicle's battery at a cost of $25K or more.

A decade or less? Where are you getting that from?
Because suddenly the tech moves from world transformative to world enhancing. The potential profits from trillions to mere billions. From immortality to slightly longer lifespan.
This is causally backwards. There are more restrictions on Gaza than the West Bank because of Hamas. The Palestinian civil war after Israel ceeded all of Gaza is what destroyed other groups. They did it to themselves and it's not surprising because Hamas represents very popular positions among actual people who live there.
The last piece:

"Finnish transport union AKT joined in on Thursday, saying it too would block Teslas coming through Finnish harbors if no deal was reached by December 20. "It is a crucial part of the Nordic labor market model that we have collective agreements and unions support each other," Ismo Kokko, president of AKT, said in a statement."

Thus, now it is a true cross-border issue covering a whole region.
mui.com only. it has all the components i need for a small project to a large project. i still layout my component placements with tailwind.
HN's obsession with Apple feels like some twisted mix of Stockholm syndrome, american nationalism and sunk cost falacy. Truly bizare to the point I wouldn't be surprised if we find out Apple is actively astroturfing this and many other topics. No other tech focused forum does this.
Using the same device serial number and not having Apple onboard was bound to end up like this.

Epic Games tried the same thing with Fortnite to force Apple's hand, it worked in the court but Apple only bends to laws of the land.

I don't see the big deal over iMessage - we use WhatsApp for chats in our family and it is cross platform.
This seems to ignore the first part of the story, where Hashicorp builds up a community around an open source project and relicenses the project. OpenTofu and now OpenBao wouldn't have happened if Hashicorp didn't relicense in the first place.
Are you twelve?
VR goggles for mice create immersive scenarios for brain research
Use WhatsApp - it works on both platforms.
I think elixir process model is the best pattern for this. Combined with GenServer it makes managing/manipulating states easy.
Is the code open source?

Then, please, use it according to the license, and if you don't want to do it yourself, now you can pay either this guy or HC.

What's the problem?
My nostalgia is for Yahoo chat rooms and later on, Trillian combining it all into a single application. Pidgin came after I gave up Trillian.
My condolences again. I'm neither Israeli nor Jewish, and I don't personally know anyone directly affected by the attack (as far as I know), but what makes this attack particularly nightmarish for me personally is the world reaction. One can expect indifference. It's far away, another awful atrocity among so many, whatever. But to aggressively, actively deny. Aggressively, actively assume the worst about the victims. To publish long-form articles on the ways the Jewish-oops-Zionist-cabal "control the narrative" and then see that article show up here on the front page of HN. To see the founder of YC tweet out snarky comments like "Its a grim day 31 Israeli children and thousands of Palestinian children are dead". Ivy league students, professors chanting for genocide of Jews, and their Presidents' equivocate before the nation and the world about whether this is harassment. HRW, having an opportunity to unequivocally condemn an atrocity of such depravity, instead both-sides it as if Israel is somehow complicit. Everyone completely ignoring whatever Israel explains about its actions as obvious lies without actually doing the work of falsification. And even here, where a simple human offering of condolence gets some nasty denizen making nasty accusations. What is nightmarish to me is how deep the rot goes.

So, my condolences to you and the families for the children and other victims. My condolences extends to the world at large. There is a loss is innocence here, for me.

But Israelis do have rock solid allies out here.
Thing is, you need people to take care in selecting training data. GIGO - garbage in, garbage out - especially applies in AI.
Atom is 6th in the (default filter) list but it is no longer maintained since 1 year (minus six days). Not sure if this should be listed as a viable alternative option.
I hate to say it but I wholeheartedly agree, haha.
Why does it need things that are absent in humans?

Sure, those things could make some things easier, but why are those things that humans don't have suddenly "non negotiable" when a machine also can't do them?

Legal issues?
> "The game" is no more or less real as a concept than "genuine connection". They're essentially both attempts to model reality, and arguably, they are not even trying to model the same aspects of reality.

There are key differences - "the game" is real, it's mechanisms were arguably as long as evolution out there. It's been developed as a part of evolution process and likely be there for a while.

Now we need to clarify that "game" is not "being alpha and get laid" as some may speculate, it's a much wider definition.

On the opposite, constructs like "genuine connection", "love" and sorts do not exist and are solely a construct being used for whatever reason out there.

> I wouldn't expect biology (alone) to give me meaningful relationship advice just like I wouldn't expect psychology and sociology to tell us how to cure cancer.

Noone is denying that. If you have only absorbed biological context out of the book, perhaps it's time to reread.

> What's wrong with a bit of idealism

Nothing. We are entitled to have any picture of our world. But the more distant it is from reality, the more confused and frustrated it will leave us when - inevitably - the discrepancy hits us on head hard. Nature doesn't care if you believe in this or that, it just follows it's laws.
The license change wouldn't have happened without the leeches either
Ok so far!
If they measure mouse cortisol they'll probably find it's high. I bet they have mouse sized migraines.
This is a bit more abstract than the article but in my experience the best software comes from people with taste, rigour, reasoning, a good vocabulary, strong principles, and the ability to write clear and concise English (or whatever human language is used in their team.)

When you truly understand the software you are writing then, and only then, can you communicate it logically in code for the computer to execute and, much more importantly, code for a person to read. Well written and well understood code means it’s very obvious what you are doing. Later, when the code has a bug or needs to be rewritten, then it will at least be clear what you were trying to do so that it can be fixed or extended in some way.

So then the question is how do we train people to have these skills? In school, science experiments are a good way to teach logical reasoning and communication — here is what I thought would happen, here is what I did, here is what happened, and here is what it means. Math teaches you how to reason abstractly and, again, prove your point with logic. It’s a slightly different beast in that it’s harder for a math experiment to go wrong. It’s also harder to come up with and overcome novel scenarios in the lab with math, so in all it complements science well. And of course reading and writing English build your ability to express your thoughts with words and sentences. Many other high school subjects combine these in various measures — history for example is data gathering, fuzzy logical deduction, and reasoning in written language.

The bottom line is that quality software starts by working with well educated people and conversely all the most abhorrent heaps of over coupled illegible nonsense I’ve seen has come from people who, to be blunt, just ain’t that smart or well rounded, intellectually.

It’s a principle I carry over to hiring: smart and well educated wins out over pure-smarts.
Lol, metaphors, hello
I think I saw somewhere (somewhere in the Beeper updates channel) that Beeper Cloud switched to using their new method a little while back before releasing Beeper Mini, which would explain the cut off.
> Does nobody else find it even slightly on-the-nose that the guy behind the TF fork just happens to also run a devops company himself?

Someone always has to pay for the development in the end.
Christenson is the one who coined the term “disruptive innovation,” and he gave it a precise definition. That definition includes taking on low-value markets and gradually expanding into more lucrative, higher-value markets. The established players flee upmarket, ironically making some of their best profits as they do, and are eventually squeezed out entirely.
I just went over a list of "upcoming RPGs 2024". For my POV, all of them look the same and this is without dismissing the quality of graphics, gameplay possibilities, art ect. It might because I'm a gamer who puts a lot (too much) emphasis on story and how unique it is. I miss games being more "punk", having humor, being serious, being less serious, angering moms without being perverse...
"Not enough energy to compete academically" sounds right, I just finished a week long Security+ remote training and I couldn't learn anything else right now if I tried lol
Piracy is a moral duty as I said earlier before some brave souls flagged that comment.
You works at the car site?
What I meant was that knowledge distillation from trained models is a very efficient process. That's why it "wants" to be free.

Knowledge is easy to scrape, transform and train on. Once it gets into the open datasets, all models trained on that data will inherit the skills.

In language, more recently the most useful training data has been generated with GPT4. Its abilities get transferred very efficiently to lower models.

I think the same will happen with images. We're going to generate synthetic datasets that would replace the original copyrighted works, but be more efficient and diverse.
Virtually any other business model. You make something people want to pay for, and then you charge a price that compensates you for your costs plus a margin determined by your negotiating power. This doesn't produce eye popping returns, but it does produce financially sustainable companies.

Operating at a huge loss for a very long time in the hopes of capturing the entirety of a market is not the norm overall. I know it can feel that way from inside our industry, but that's our cultural biases showing.

I'd like to stress that that's an observation and not a criticism, and that I don't mean bias in the pejorative sense.
No, this is James. I was letting people know in case they wanted to read a story about life on a moonbase.
Games exist regardless of whether we believe or not. There is nothing wrong in being idealistic - we all delude ourselves either temporarily or perpetually, on narrow or wide range of subject. If that helps to be content - by all means.

Evolutionary some creatures openly face adversities, some prefer to hide head in sand pretending everything is alright. There is no right or wrong answer here I guess, whatever gives peace of mind.
Why didn't they calibrate the dynamometer with a precisely measured mass hanging downward at 90° to the horizontal over pully with negligible friction?

A known mass descending down say an old vertical mine shaft would allow potential energy to be converted into Joule/seconds (watts). As the force on the rope/cable is known with good precision an accurate empirical measurement of the dynamometer and its total frictional losses could be accurately determined.

Why calculate those losses at the risk of errors when one can measure them directly?
There was the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia.

If there were indigenous guerilla forces with popular bases of support in some reservations I don't doubt that we'd see the use of bombs and tanks.
This space is confusing. FIDO2, U2F, UAF, CTAP, WebAuth, Passkey, 2FA, … The names frequently change.

Aren’t all of them just public key authentication (with the private key in a mini-HSM, and public key either calculated in real-time, or stored, in the HSM, and synced externally)?
Having a cert from a validated *.gov CA doesn’t seem that complicated, or at least, should be “just as complicated” as setting up properly TLs certs.

Getting the tech adopted might be difficult (like you say some judges may not see the point of it) but the PKI doesn’t have to be super complicated…

Having different authorities provide signatures for different types of documents may or may not be needed, in theory it is more secure, but just checking the domain name suffix should be a good start. And every tech literate person has a general idea how to tell “valid” domain names from phishing sites, so the scheme translates well
Watch it come out that they trained it on Elon's Twitter feed and thats why it's so middle school edgy and unfunny
The 35S promoter is a really strong constitutive promoter. Just expressing the OxO gene from it could be enough of a metabolic cost as to be noticeably growth inhibitory, much less the effect of the unintentional gene knockout.

It looks like they have a good plan for future engineering: Induced expression only in cells in the infected part of the tree.
At one place I worked for we used to get them via fax! That said, you could call and verify that the person the document claimed to send it actually did.
It gets recommended because much of the time coax is not available, so the options are use powerline, use wifi, run cabling around walls, or run cabling through walls. The first two are far easier and less costly in time or money than the latter two, but each has downsides depending in your specific situation.
Morgan Motor Company have an extremely specific clientele. Their cars are truly hand-made and their four-wheeled models are substantially constructed from wood. Nobody buys a Morgan without knowing what they're getting into.

Of course. I mean this is the eu we're talking about.
Paying anonymously does not resolve the problem of identity by descent / genetic relatedness for a service that retains your genetic data. As relatives sign up with any identifiable bit of information, your anonymity erodes.
If you'd continued reading, this is addressed in the very next paragraph. The article doesn't argue for the abolishing of the FDA, the article is making a similar point to the one you're making.
Woodpecker is great
Weights are just numbers, essentially by using a neural network you are telling the system to "find the best way to represent the scene with a budget of X numbers/parameters". Modern NeRFs like instant-ngp also use some grid representations. I guess Gaussian Splatting is slightly more geometrically appealing because you get points around the surfaces that you are trying to model. These points are however not guaranteed to be exactly on the surface, which additional surface losses try to solve (e.g. NeuSG).
Good advertisement for beeper. Now we'll see if they're true.
oh, I like that. The "intolerable lack of control" fits with with his character.
This all seems premature. So far we have something that can generate text and pictures based on other text and pictures ?
I wonder if it is physically possible, nowadays, to just quietly launch a game without building up the necessary hype beforehand. In Hello Game's case, the community is so burned by the company that they are immediately distrustful when they announce something new (see the other comments, for example). What would have happened if they had just put it on the steam store? "Here's what we made, see for yourself if it's good".

Use the money saved from minimal marketing to build a better game. Heck, they'd get a lot of viral marketing for free anyway from the media companies falling over themselves to cover the surprising game release.
Classic RAS syndrome
You don’t think that the licence changes were intended exactly these scenarios? Because it sure seems to me that they were.

The vast majority of users were, and are, completely unaffected by the licence changes. You’re really only affected if you are selling TF services commercially.
Do you know why they're having the marrow synthesise fetal hemoglobin versus hemoglobin A(2)? (Is it simply because HbF is one molecule while HbA and HbA2 are two?)
EU agrees on new wording for the AI Act
Oh no. The lesson from the Second World War was that it must not repeated. It is not supposed to be used as a justification for committing war crimes against civilians.
More like a few weeks to months since there‘s also emoji support and endless scrolling etc, but yeah. I agree it’s doable by one developer and that’s quite affordable to do, considering the scale Beeper is at now.
As far as I know, there's no official documentation for it, but people noticed that it happened every month and that it would fix dead pixels (for example: https://www.4kshooters.net/2015/12/01/an-easy-trick-to-fix-d...)

I personally used this trick twice to fix dead pixels on my camera, so I can attest to that.

For cameras without a mechanical shutter, there is instead an option to do it in the menu, for example : (https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2010/v1/en/contents/TP0003229...)
How and why does one become a diehard windows fan?
I just don't care enough about video media to watch anything in the first place, so I've never really needed to pirate movies or shows after 2009/2010. I don't pirate anything anymore but I do still have me booty from previous high seas adventures. It's been mixed in with my data for so long I'm not sure I could separate it if I tried lol
> Use the money saved from minimal marketing

I think that’s the problem - marketing a game is relatively cheap.

The relevant test in this report simulated a single-vehicle impact. The best insurance policy against kangaroos/deer is a modern, safe vehicle with crumple zones (and, y'know, an actual insurance policy that you'll live to collect).
> except they don't want to pay for the labor to do so.

I doubt it wouldn't have cost them anything more than what they're already paying to staff their legal department.
A single author with his own alternate histories and alternate facts did not constitute a new history. With what part of my post do you disagree?
I certainly agree that the current situation is atrocious, in many respects. Certainly what is happening in Gaza right now is an atrocity.

I’m mainly saying that calling that opinion “Pro-Palestine” or “Pro-Palestinian” seems problematic. There has been no particular shortage of screaming matches in the US in which people accuse other people of being horrible for not being correctly pro- or anti- the right things, and I think this encourages factionalism where none need exist.

My point re: Russia and Ukraine isn’t that that situations are analogous. It’s that one’s heritage may be quite different from where one is now, what views one has, where one wants to live, etc.
A manual sensor clean in most cameras does this. If mirrorless, leave the cap on
Most of my use cases for stackiverflow end up being those lazy lookups because it's super quick. It's often much quicker than chatgpt for me to Google and click the first (or these days 8th) link
Yup, that's exactly the reason why I don't treat the term seriously any more. Same with "racist" or "nazi". If it means anything these days it's that those using the words disagree with someone.

For sure we should ask the question, and it's totally valid to criticize Israel's actions. It's also totally in line to be in favor of Israel conducting a war against Hamas, but to be against specific ways in which it is fought.

I think a thing that should give you pause is if the conclusion to a train of thought is "and therefore, no war is ever justified". Some people think that's true! Some people think it's better for them and all their friends and family to die than to risk killing civilians. Most people (including me) disagree with that statement.
So many things used to be covered in wax before plastics and PFA coatings took over. From rain coats to butcher's paper. The wax versions still exist, but they're often a lot more expensive than the PFA or plastic lined versions.

In my fantasy world these were all covered in beeswax, but I doubt there's enough beeswax for all of those applicatins. I don't suppose anyone knows what the wax is/was made of, and whether it had any health concerns as well?
I rewatched the video several times just for the humor.

“I am what now?”
“Everyone calls it that”

Anyone knows other videos / channels that combine info and dry quality humor?
The hacker spirit uses Signal. Promoting WhatsApp over the more open community-supported alternative is worse than gloating over Beeper.
The first cause for memory bloat
Most programs do not actually require to address 64 bits of virtual memory. On a pi cluster, I noticed that the minimum memory usage on a Raspberry Pi OS installation shows used memory is almost linearly proportional to integer size.

Most people would have already realized this on quantized machine learning models, but this was on a far more fundamental level, felt like sharing.
The noise reduction they're referring to is dark frame subtraction used for thermal noise and defective hot pixel removal (the latter is what the ISS has to worry about.) Numerous cameras from other companies allow for forcing that on at any speed via menu options, not just slower shutter speeds.

I had this feature available on an early 2010's Olympus. They called it "Noise Reduction" (not "noise filter", that's different) and it could be set to off, normal, or "on." On makes it behave like this "special" Nikon firmware, always performing the dark frame subtraction. "Normal" applies some logic based on shutter speed and ISO, and off turns it off completely. Manual dark-frame calibration was also available via the menus.

I'm not sure why Nikon is tooting their horn so loudly about adding (only for people in the ISS) what's been available to earthbound users of other camera systems via a menu item for a decade?
Thank you. I was literally crying typing here. I appreciate you replying back.
