Probably a lot more than once when you consider that different devices have different capabilities, and that they might stream you different bitrates depending on conditions like your network capability, screen resolution, how much you've paid them..

You could also imagine they might apply some kind of heuristic to decide to re-encode something based on some condition... Like fine tune encoder settings when a title becomes popular. No idea if they do that, just using some imagination.
It seems simple carb diet leads to rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar, which can cause energy level fluctuation and impact alertness and sleepiness. On the other hand, slow carb diet provides better blood sugar control and many other benefits. Also, slow carb diet usually opts for whole, unprocessed food, which links back to Zelphyr's point 1 as well. Fascinating.
It is a safety issue. The billboard's whole point is you warning that if you do this stuff solo you are more likely to die. Which is unquestionably true - you are not going to be in a position to use narcan to stop the overdose if you're by yourself.

If you have 5 people who are going to use opioids, you want them to be together when they do it and you want narcan or similar available to them, if you do truly care about saving lives.

Put it one a timegrapher and check amplitude, beat rate & beat error in different watch positions (watch dial up, dial down, crown up, crown down etc.).
There are timegraphing apps on the iOS/Android app stores (using the microphone for detecting beat signals) for a very quick test. The watch's tick signal may be a bit on the weak side but i usually get some data in a reasonably silent environments with direkt contact of the watch to the phone's body.

How Twitter Broke the News
The article doesn't add anything new from previous discussion,

23andMe updates their TOS to force binding arbitration (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38551890) - (372 points | 6 days ago | 243 comments)

One interesting thing about this story though is that it appears that 23andMe is outright refusing to make a comment to anyone. Every single site that has covered the story and bothered to email them have added a, "23andMe has declined to comment" disclaimer.

Pretty scummy.
I often wondered about long term constructions, what structure would last for thousands of years? What structure would last against tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, lightning?

> Achieving a 10x improvement over the previous generation usually can't be done without doing something new

It is definitely possible if the fixed cost(e.g. R and D, manufacturing capability, testing infrastructure etc) is majority of the cost and scaling up doesn't increase them linearly. Cost of raw materials like fuel or building material would be negligible for Apollo or SLS in comparison.
I love my minivan - 4x8 sheets of plywood/drywall fit in it, you can put a double air mattress in it to camp in, etc.

I'd forgotten that the original Chrysler vans only had one sliding door that opened on the passenger side. The idea was that you didn't want young kids opening the driver side door and stepping out into traffic.
So if I understand your position, you want information to always be free in every transaction, so when you go to the store to buy a pack of gum, you can look up the entire supply chain, figure out the entire cost for that gum and come to a reasonable price between the buyer and seller?

We would have independent auditors that verify the supply chain information is accurate, adding lots of extra cost for these auditors. How are they paid?

How do we keep the auditors honest? What if they are incentivized in some way to not be completely truthful in their auditing?

How many people do you think will be willing to do that?

I'd bet the amount of people willing to do that is effectively zero. Especially over a pack of gum.

Remote control airplanes have been using gyros to achieve the same effect for some time now. It's a complete game changer and changes the amount of enjoyment in a huge way. Instead of telling the airplane what to do, you're more so telling the airplane where to go.

I'm not suggesting gyros are the correct way to do this. But I can say the difference is night and day.
And I agree with that. What I don't agree with is that this knowledge should be disseminated in the way it is done on that billboard, with a bunch of people shown having great fun. That is promoting drug use. That sends the wrong message to the kids. You'll have the whole generation growing up thinking any drugs are OK and just part of having fun together. This is horrible.

Rust certainly performs runtime bounds-checking as well as some other tasks, so there is runtime code (even if it's just compiled into executables.) If you want features like async (standard in many language runtimes) you're also going to have to pull in some kind of external runtime dependency. And everyone doing high-level web-style development seems to drag in something like tokio.

There are folks who’ve written extractors for making SBS video from the mv-hevc streams but I haven’t seen a live playback conversion. I can’t imagine it’s difficult though if someone was motivated.

I also haven’t seen an example of an NLE supporting it, but I imagine we’ll see some within 2024? I’m more curious about how they might support playback in various headsets since a Quest 3 is now a lot cheaper than a 3D display or projector.

The question also presumes a fixed number of homeless, which is obviously not true looking at the explosion of them we've had over the past decade. You can meaningfully reduce the number of homeless by (a) building a lot more housing, including especially the lowest rung on the housing ladder (weekly/daily-pay SROs), and (b) simply not tolerating them. When you tolerate something, you get more of it.

It's impossible to stay long with companies. The nascence of "shareholder value" as an overriding concept means that if you're far more likely to be laid off, or forced to job-hop to maintain purchasing power, than to be able to stay with one business for years and still have a successful career. By companies' own policies, it has become untenable for them to train. So it's all on them. They've got to fix the issue (before the government does it for them).
I don't understand how this is even legal but it has been widespread adopted without a backlash.

I assume they re-compress for each resolution / format, quite possibly they also have different bitrate levels per resolution. Potentially even variants tweaked for certain classes of device (in cases this is not already covered by combination of format/resolution/bitrate). I would also assume they re-compress with new advances in video processing (things like HDR, improved compression).

Also, their devs likely want fast feedback on changes - I imagine they might have CI running changes on some standard movies, checking various stats (like SNR) for regressions. Everybody loves if their CI finishes fast, so you might want to compress even a single movie in multiple threads.

Games publishers big enough to have a catalog worth showing off at E3 realized that they would get more focused attention putting up their own show without letting eyeballs leak to their competitors, which is why you'll see Nintendo Directs and Sony State of Play announcements roughly annually.

>> Stigmatization has been proven to work with tobacco. I don't see any reason why branding those that use meth, heroin or ethanol as absolute losers and stupid uncool people wouldn't work either.

Maybe stigmatization is not a tactic to help existing addicts, but rather to discourage other people from getting to that state?

It's sad, but E3 is really a relic of a bygone era. In the 90s or early 2000s, you almost never saw media from unreleased games. The best you could hope for was a few screenshots in a magazine (and later a website) to tide you over, surrounded by illustrative writing by games journalists. E3 was there to inform retailers of what products were coming, motivate them to dedicate shelf space to sell them, and lastly to provide a concentrated pile of news for the mainstream media to disseminate. This is why for so long the keynotes/showcases were called "press conferences". You can even find some recorded videos from these older E3's where Nintendo and Sony are presenting pie charts and graphs in a fairly monotone cadence.

Today, with the ubiquity of Youtube, Twitch, and other ways of seeing game footage and content, E3 just became another marketing event. And it was an expensive one at that. Publishers and platform holders chafed at the fact that they would have to do a live stage show where gaffes and demo disasters could occur, and marketing departments hated the fact that all of their effort could be easily overshadowed by another company's big reveal. You saw Sony tap out even before the pandemic hit, opting for its own separate showcases where they could control the message and dominate the news cycle. That became the model that more and more companies decided to pursue.

I will miss it because it was a fun event in the middle of May (and later June) that gave you a nice preview of what cool stuff was coming later in the year. There are also some legendary moments from the live presentations over the year, ranging from Sony getting on stage and only stating the price of the Playstation (which could undercut Sega's Saturn by $100, after Sega had decided to rush it for a surprise launch that day) to J Allard introducing the world to the new paradigm of centralized online gaming in 2005.
Because I hate hypocrisy. Either ban nothing or ban it all. Not this stupid in between.

Either prohibition works perfectly and we can also ban ethanol, or it does not work at all and we should just go ahead and legalize everything and treat everything equally.
> My experience is that an experienced programmer can be a lot more productive quickly with Golang, since they don't need to climb the Rust borrow-checking learning curve.

Will somebody please tell me why everyone seems obsessed with optimizing for programmers going from zero to minimally productive?

I have been using Ruby for twenty years, Rust for eight, golang for nine, and C for twenty-six. Most programmers will use a language for dramatically longer than a year, so why are the first three months such a singular point of focus?

The code I wrote in the first three months of using every one of these languages was bug-ridden, unidiomatic, unnecessarily difficult to maintain, and generally terrible. Ironically, Ruby was probably the least bad in this regard. Go and Rust were probably about the same, but I’d frankly give Rust the slight edge here. C was the inarguably the worst, but it was also my first language.

Subjectively and retroactively comparing things a year in, I’d wager my Rust was of the best quality (readability, ease of maintenance, speed of development, bugs per “unit of functionality”), followed by Go, Ruby, and then C. At five years, the quality of my Rust code blows everything else out of the water. My C was still terrible (partly because it was C, partly because it was still my first language). But I’d say Ruby edged out Go at this point for me.

Obviously this is not only anecdata but wildly guesstimated looking back and comparing learning curves on languages at completely different points in my experience as a programmer. I’ll happily admit that Rust pulling so far ahead so quickly is as likely to do with it building off the knowledge of prior decades of professional software engineering. And that my personal experience with any of these languages is of course unique to me and my circumstances.

But it just seems wild to me that people seem to focus on “getting a new person up to speed as fast as possible” to the exclusion of apparently everything else.
Game marketing no longer happens through magazines and legacy websites, but direct to consumer marketing (companies putting trailers on youtube and holding their own live streams) and influencer marketing (Twitch, Youtube, etc). The closest thing we have to E3 is The Game Awards, which is a 2.5 hour commercial that pays lip service to creators in the industry.
Those are very kind words - thank you! It's been a labour of love for us over the last few years but we're at a point where this product really works now and so it's great to see the positive response. That's a really interesting point re education. I know the team here are very much looking at that vertical and will pass on your note. One of things that's nice about Zapbox is that the controller inputs are Quest-compatible, so educational content built for Quest should be easy to port, allowing for use cases where there are a small number of higher-cost headsets used in tandem with a larger number of Zapboxes.
How does allowing 3rd party app stores negatively affect the elderly? Just like Android the ability to install 3rd party apps and stores would likely be off by default and you'd need to enable it in the settings. And even after enabling it installing something gives you a pretty clear warning that what you're doing could be dangerous.

If that's not enough warning for someone then they probably shouldn't have a smart phone, or if they do it should have strict parental controls on it (blocking 3rd party installs, most sites, and phone calls/texts).
> I don't agree that such things should be covered by 230 in the first place.

Indeed. In my opinion, even "algorithmic feeds" should lose section 230 protection because the service now acts in an editorial capacity and directly controls what the user does and does not see.

It's unfair for a service that manipulates what users see for all kind of financial and ideological reasons to be treated as a mere "carrier" of information.

Edit: Reading the article more, it strikes me as contradictory to claim that AI generated output is both "novel" (for the purposes of copyright) but also protected by section 230. How can it be both? If AI output is protected by section 230 because it's merely transmitting third party speech, then surely the AI model is also bound by any copyright licenses on its training input.
I'm not a lawyer but I doubt that this will matter in the court because the time of actions matter; or in another words at the time when user registered they agreed to TOS A and later when 23andMe changed their TOS A to TOS B they achieved nothing because you can't unregister users and register them again and force them to agree to the new TOS B. I mean they can ask you to agree to new TOS but you don't have to because TOS is not a law, it is a voluntary legal agreement between a company and a customer. Retroactively enforcing something is not possible not even for the governments e.g. if I pay my corporate tax of let's say 20% in 2023 to the government, government can't say like 5 years later: you know what corporate tax is now 30%, compensate for all the differences in the past.
the counterpoint is that this is a system that would only be engaged at cruising altitudes, and which would probably be manually turned on. the problem with mcas (aside from using a single sensor for flight control) was that it had large effects at low speed and problems near the ground don't give you time to react
> The youtube recommendation algorithm brings up new and cool content

For you.

For kids it brings up amputation videos and seriously weird/predatory shit. Should they be cultivating their recommendation feed better?

Try searching for '!' on the homepage. You'll get a mix of kid videos and fucked up animated softcore furry shit. It's been like that for fucking years.

For me it brings up Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson shite constantly, despite my refusal to engage in such content whatsoever. It just figures, hey you like watching video game content so you'll love these smarmy shitheads.

It's vastly inferior to TikTok's algorithm by all accounts, like it's not even close. And it's been horrendously gamed.

All they have is the network effect and Google's monopoly powers. Their algorithm sucks, their ads suck, their policies towards creators suck (as you said yourself). Everything they've ever brought in that was actually good was cribbed from porn sites.
I tend to disagree. There was very much a evolutionary path forward.

There were already programs like NERVA in development for an advanced nuclear upper stage. Once you have that, making the Upper Stage refuel-able, makes it basically into a multi-use space tug for cis-lunar.

Then you could evolve Saturn 1B into a reusable Saturn 1C, just like Falcon 9. That gives you a reusable heavy lifter. And it would also safe a gigantic amount of money that was spend on Atlas/Titan/Delta in the next 40 years.

The Apollo capsule was not reusable but continuously evolving a capsule design in that direct was certainty possible. But its not the most important part of the system in terms of cost.

What really need more development is the lander itself. Making a large reusable lander would have been costly but not really out of reach.

You can use an occasional Saturn V for large things like Skylab and special deep space mission.

That was a much better path forward then Space Shuttle and ISS.
