Don't compare your choices to other's. That is unhealthy, whether you admire or dislike their choices.

Certain choices work for some people and make them happy. Perhaps your friend doesn't give a rats ass about coding out of a wet paper bag and sees you as a miserable shut-in.
yeah, its lame. and its actually really annoying when its just lotion, hygienics, combs and I'm like "oooooooh its stuff homeless people of color need" but inconveniences people that are not stealing but have same hair and skin considerations
I don't think this is related. This is just public key verification, the kind that other E2E messaging apps already had. I don't know about the specifics but as I understand, Beeper Mini could implement this too if they want to.
We're working on AI role-playing for sales training and coaching. But as we've been validating it we've been learning about a lot of other industries that could use something similar.

Apple is the Apple of the watch world. Apple sold 54m watches last year, Rolex an estimated 1m.

Apple sells more watches than every other luxury watch brand combined.
Thanks. What was confusing me is the kernel size 4. Normally in (2D) convolutions you have (in_channels, out_channels, k, k) for a kxk kernel size. In the example above it the k is the first dimension instead of the last. This is in PyTorch, not sure about Keras
Nope! It's weird. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38715097
Dear ImGUI is just retained mode under the hood, with the name of the widget acting as the index. The API presents immediate mode, but it isn't really. If a "good" immediate mode API just hides all the state under the hood, then I think one should call it something other than immediate mode.

The thing is, immediate mode UIs are not really usable, because a widget needs internal state, so a pure immediate mode UI would require the caller to carry around all that state. Obviously that is burdensome, which is why Dear ImGUI hides it for you. But in my opinion, it's a bit of a fraud to call that an immediate mode UI, when it retains a copy of state behind its back.
I spent a few weeks at the HP Cupertino facility in 1982, and got a tour of their chip and computer production facilities too. They were very proud of their SoS (Silicon On Sapphire) technology, which was fairly new at the time. I think they moved all the chip production to Singapore shortly thereafter.

You can’t, nowadays work environments are mostly adults daycare centers with free “snacks” and people incapable of doing anything without being told what to do, and expect you to follow weird and useless humiliation rituals called team building activities and collaboration that goes with different names like scrum, etc., and even if the senior management are achievement oriented, they would still be pressured to have you going through these rituals because it would be “unfair” that others do it and you are not, if you happen to be technically competent, do contract/consultation work, and only the outcome is required from you.
Reading the comments here, I’m left feeling like I’ve misunderstood this article. But I’ve now reread it three times and came to the same conclusion: this article does not say crime statistics were exaggerated.

Could someone help me understand what I’m missing?

If I’m reading it correctly, they exaggerated the amount of _organized_ crime.

This article seems to say the amount of shoplifting that was attributable to organized crime was 5% when originally they claimed it was 50%.

My understanding from that is that we originally estimated disorganized shoplifting to be less than 50% of missing merchandise, and organized crime was making up at least half.

In other words, the crime statistics are the same, but it’s actually randos walking into a CVS and stealing stuff.

That doesn’t seem like it is better?
This isn't about accurate recreations of acoustic instruments, it's about capturing some of the features of acoustic instruments in non-imitative patches to make them sound less sterile and simplistic.

A lot of (non-MIDI) computer music is either drones, granular clouds, or percussive blips.

There's an under-explored area of articulation and musical detail between those sounds and warm, mushy analog.

The DX7 was a good first take at that. But today you can have hundreds of oscillators stacked and patched in any configuration you want instead of just six.
Synchronisation is the hard part. I suppose there are a few different ways to do it. One way would be to use a hardware that holds a private key in a secure chip, and whoever has access to the physical watch can sign a message with that key to point to an arbitrary address. This can then be submitted to the blockchain.
Confirmation is easy, as the blockchain takes care of that. It would be emitted by a verifiable/trusted public key. If the address is not Rolex's address, the item is fake.

>Sorry, the C++ grammar is terrible.

When did I say otherwise? What I said was that it's not the main cause of C++'s long compilation times. The grammar causes other problems, such as making it more difficult to write parsers for IDEs, and creating things like the most vexing parse.

>However, you are the first person I think I have ever heard claim that Rust is faster than C++. Rust is notoriously slow to compile.

It's kind of a mixed bag. Given two projects of similar complexity, one in C++ and one in Rust, the one written in Rust will take longer to compile if organized as a single crate, because right now there's no way to parallelize compilation within a single crate. However, compiling the C++ version will definitely be the larger computational task, and would take longer if done in a single thread. Both contain Turing-complete meta-languages, so both can make compiling a fixed length source take an arbitrarily long time. Rust's type system is more complex, but I think C++'s templates win out on computational load. You're running a little dynamically typed script inside the compiler every time you instantiate a template.
A related story is that the Walgreens CFO admitted during a recent earnings call that the company may have overstated "shrinkage" of inventory and that it had spent too much on "largely ineffective" private security to combat it: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/05/walgreens-may-have-overstate...

It is hard to fully understand what caused the disconnect from reality.

Here's a good NPR piece discussing the issue: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2023/12/18/is-shoplifting-getti...
As the article mentions, the court did allow that practice:

"The watchmaker successfully defended its practice of enforcing recommended retail prices for its retailers, with the authority accepting that preventing the sale of fake Rolex watches and grey market trading are legitimate commercial aims."

but for the online-selling bit:

"The French authority rejected a defence from Rolex’s lawyers that restrictions are needed to prevent counterfeiting and parallel trade in its watches."
How is this ‘really cool’?

It messed up and didn’t give you an answer and you have no way of knowing if the information you ‘learned’ is true if you don’t already understand ISP etc.

I mean wolfram alpha would give you the answer immediately without all the bullshit conversation.

It’s so weird to me how this glorified ELIZA has people so keen to tell us what GPT said in every single thread.

hypergamy. (particularly male) humans have been in a status conscious rate race since caveman days, it's built in and not likely to change. consciously avoiding it is just an alternate strategy in the same game, like the "wears sneakers with a tux" guy.

In America, there is the First Sale Doctrine, which mostly(?) lets me do whatever I want with a product in my possession.

What is preventing some nobody from going to these authorized dealers (presumably with no-online-sales agreements), buying up their entire inventory, and then personally offering that online? Just the threat of fakes?
I've had a mechanical Timex camper for years. Legitimately, I think I've had it for 25 years. It has never lost time that I can tell. It was $75?

Watches are fascinating to me, because the high status watches are so gaudy and HUGE.
Yeah, it's pretty sad. At least the time you have to wait to get the chance to buy Rolex, you can get a few Patek's like a 5520P. No years of waiting.
The way I see it: Code is an abstraction of reality. Reality changes continuously. Therefore all code is techdebt.

This is one of the reasons I oppose the “automate all the things” mantra.

The devices can ship with an embedded hardware security module that holds a private key. The private key has its public key whitelisted by Rolex, and can be used to sign a message transferring the ownership to the current owner's public key. If you can do this transfer action, the device is legitimate. Of course you'd need to check that the public keys/addresses match Rolex's.

Wouldn't Uber/Lyft have already sopped up whatever demand exists for that? If anything Waymo is going to take that business away.
Agree with you there on both counts. Attempting to match physical instruments is a great learning exercise, but not usually that interesting creatively. However patches that live someone in the middle ground between naturalistic and synthetic are often the most interesting IMO.

For real. I've been saying this for years because I so rarely see it anything but true: "Any time there's a business deal with three or more parties, at least one of them is getting fucked." And it's usually the public/taxpayer/little guy. Propietary tech is one of the worst offenders too.

And for once it looks the public isn't on the receiving end.

Creator here. Glad that HN rediscovered my old side project. All the code is freely available on GitHub [1]. It's running on a tiny f1-micro GCE instance which is currently down due to the traffic. I don't have time to fix it right now, but it should resolve itself once traffic dies down. The data source is also several years out of date at this point, so the links it returns may not match current reality. Other than that, it should still work!

Europe, mid-1970s: Bader-Meinhof is in full swing; Palestinian, Armenian, and other groups were planting bombs. Plane hijacking was a new tactic with much news coverage. The modern age of assassination hysteria that started with JFK was still going.

Did we fly like those nostalgic pics of businessmen and their wives smoking and eating steak? No, we stood like scared refugees, with heavily armed military personnel and German shepherds walking around scanning the crowd. I was a little kid in Zurich but remember it well.

9/11 may feel like a turning point in airport security, but it just brought to America what has been happening in other places at other times. And apparently made it permanent.
Yeah that's where I lean. I don't think these dealers have a "right" to sell Rolex's. If they don't like the terms set forth by Rolex, don't sell them.
I've had the app lock me up before. I tried to get a little too secure too quickly. Lessen up the security unit you get signed into the app, then crank up the security. If you turn up the security too much, you can't toggle to get your 2FA code.
There is a huge opportunity here for Apple to do a proper chain of trust.

I love disc golf. My interests have truly intersected on this post.

In addition to clinics and practice ranges, this would be useful for folks that throw a lot in the field if it’s made a bit smaller and at a lower price point. I often throw 50-70 discs at a time and they’re annoying to pick up :)
Most of the tax revenue does not come from the poor though. They could still be given EVs regardless.
I didnt want the answer immediately. I wanted to learn how to read the spec sheet, and be then able to infer information from future spec sheets now that I know how to read them and what the physical implications of the values mean. (thats why you'll notice I started with asking it to teach me something.

What I enjoyed was this Neumann article lead me down a rabbit whole and I learned things I didnt know - it was fun and I didnt expect it.

That's exactly what that person is "implying", and that person is correct. But with the caveat that this applies much more to things like infotainment than to things like engine control. Lots of car software is purchased off the shelf and then customized slightly for branding purposes. But obviously some manufacturers do write their own software. For instance, as far as I'm aware, Tesla's software is all written in house (someone can correct me if I'm wrong here).
My script has been broken since February 2021 :( Documentation on the data source (with links to old data dumps) is on GitHub: https://github.com/jwngr/sdow/blob/master/docs/data-source.m...
Pre 9/11 I used to routinely fly a commercial route with no security screening process. There was once even an attempted hijacking and the (lack of) procedures remained. The grandparent is correct, everyone went insane after 9/11. And this wasn't even in the same hemisphere as the USA.

A Veblen good means the demand increases when the price increases. ROI doesn't factor in.

Nobody would buy 100k of adsense ads if they didn't return more than 100k in revenue. With a Veblen good, the price tag is the point.
Given how many kids (teens) produce this stuff for each other and have been prosecuted as criminals for it, I think our approach to enforcement is completely dogmatic and ineffective. While SWATting is still a thing, there is no way in hell this won't become weaponized.

If the goal is to stop actual human trafficking, then target movement. Possession shouldn't be illegal (stops your pissing-cupid garden statue from being declared CSAM tomorrow, and settles making criminals of shutterbug parents at bathtime), but broadcasting, exhibiting or selling anything to do with it (or tutorials for producing it) should be illegal. I'd even suggest uploading it to cloud/external storage should be illegal.

Distribution allowable only between owner and any direct recipient(s), while both parties are under or over 18 (stops the adult-child grooming issue). Solves the underage-revenge-porn issue as well; Bob15m is on the hook for any forwarding or "losing" of the nude selfie he solicited from Alice14f, lest he face CSAM distribution charges. Either of them possessing it wouldn't be illegal, but it would be a liability if lost or stolen, so both are best served deleting it as soon as possible.

They say every advance in tech starts with pornography. This is how you normalize a culture of responsible data stewardship-- by getting people used to the idea of personal risk associated with keeping data longer than you should.

No you can go into a lot of details of how Apple engineers its cases to its proprietary M chips to technically prove their value. You can also point out value integrations in software. This isn’t a Veblen good and iPhone is very much a measurable utility.
Umm... So none of this sounded like "work". It sounded like playing with a fun new technology then bothering other people to try and gain some sort of status as "architect" or expert in the fun new thing.

How do you get paid to spend so much time on the fun new thing when there are boring things that people paying you want done ?

Yeah it's great if you have the free time, no kids etc. Otherwise the grind of staying ahead is just that - another grind.

The internet has just ruined niche culture a bit in my opinion.

I used to be harder to find people in to a specific sub-culture but now it is easy to find a subeditor or whatever. They just feed off each other until they are insufferable.

This article seems to be more making the case that features are technical debt, sort of. And that's a valid point too. But it is so so easy for useless code to accumulate. At every company where I've worked as an engineer, I've ended up deleting lots and lots of code, far more than I ever write. Like, half of the codebase. Largely by applying static analysis to find code that clearly never worked, the confirming that it's not used (which is usually obvious or we'd be seeing crashes). Often times it's sad to see how long that code was maintained, with engineers wasting effort on migrating it as things changed, without ever questioning whether it's even needed.
Stuff like this:

It will lead to more people saying things along the lines of "They're only stealing so they can feed their families (oh and by the way this is "capitalism's" fault you should totally support the socialist/communist policies that I do)" but yeah otherwise it doesn't change the facts on the ground much.
Rolex don't do artificial scarcity and hype campaigns around limited runs like other brands have taken to do. They're at max capacity and if you want to buy one you've just got to get on the list, no short cuts.

Essentially PKI, store a certificate signed by rolex and it's corresponding private key in the enclave.
