Unfortunately things like wayland end up like this too. All sorts of different systems and plugins and implementations and exceptions and arbitrary names and acronyms.

It seems like no one who designs this stuff ever says "this is too complicated, it doesn't have to be this way, we need to work on simplifying it".

I think when clever people get together and there is no adult in the room to represent people who actually have to use this stuff, no one wants to admit that it's over complicated, because that becomes an admission of not being as clever as everyone else in the room.

> He's that kind of person who obsess every little details

People said the same thing about Steve Jobs.

This was in part because he would even focus on design details on the inside of devices that most would never see, the iMac G3 would be the first example of this.

Somehow I suspect that Jobs would have an aneurism if he’d be heading Tesla and saw the paneling issues and the welds his cars would be delivered with.

Perhaps Musk should do some more obsessing.
If earth suddenly had to be evacuated and I was limited to grabbing the ten best people to save, [Bill] Watterson would definitely be in there. There is a point where you stop rating people — you just rate them among the best. Can I say that Mozart is better than the Beatles? I can’t. I can just say that they both have gone above the cloud layer and are up there near the sun. They both are on that short list of things that are essential. Watterson is an essential.

Just some ideas I've seen:

- As a first step, we may want to sort tracks by similarity. With Spotify API, each track has attributes that could be used to easily "map" the tracks mutual distances.

- Spotify already has an automix feature that works only on exclusive Spotify playlists [1]. And I think it is automated.

- There are (at least one) mobile apps that do this (not tested) : https://www.mixonset.com/

Think of remote gaming as a computer where the connection between the computer itself and its input/output is stretched over the internet. It's bound to remain technically inefficient compared to local wires.

The goal, of course, is to make game running server shareable between different clients, right? But there already was a service to share your own idling PC with internet players. And unlike Google's servers it can be used to play locally by its owner.

But the biggest issue with the whole game streaming is the economy. What's more profitable for publishers and stores, to sell access to games which run on your hardware, or sell the copies of the games and let the players handle hardware cost themselves? The obvious answer leads for remote play services to live off the niche of people who would like to play games but can't afford to invest into hardware. If you compare the cost of a game console with the cost of games you'll understand there can't be a lot of people in this category.

TL;DR
Remote play is doomed to stay on the fringes due to the economy and physics.

Good point. I historically have been weak on training, probably because it feels like so much work. I should look into investing more time and money into it. Sounds like maybe lack of training is a primary issue.
Reading some of the other comments, and my own experience, it might be a good book for someone who has already spent some time playing with circuits.

But that's not necessarily an unreasonable hurdle. After all, electronics is about something that happens physically, and maybe getting some tactile experience gets the right brain cells working to be receptive to the theory. Or maybe it's just that the enjoyment of the physical stuff supplies the motivation to learn the textbook stuff.

I might think along similar lines if someone asked for a good textbook to learn how to play the cello.

When I took electronics in college, from 1st edition AoE, I had already been tinkering with circuits for a few years. And playing the cello. ;-)

To be fair to those ISPs, most SSH connection attempts in my logs seem to come from consumer IP addresses. Many of them in China, but also a whole bunch in South America. I think it's because of hacked IoT crapware and other malware adding unsuspecting people to a botnet. I doubt anyone is renting hundreds of internet connections just to brute force admin/admin all day.

I can't imagine those South Americans being able to access anything without clearing twenty Cloudflare CAPTCHAs (I don't think Cloudflare operates in China), but then again, I think they'll just blame Cloudflare for sabotaging their perfectly safe 100% legit web traffic.

This type of blocking wouldn't be necessary if these companies actually did something with the abuse reports they receive, but I guess blocking SSH and telnet is an easy way to stop the flood of reports coming in if you don't care about your customers.
I don't think it's so much the costs as it really only makes sense for people who bring specific capabilities that aren't easily replicated and they can apply those without a lot of coordination on a fairly loose and non-intense schedule.

Maybe for a total beginner this could be done gradually. Would you agree? I'm assuming, as someone who knows very little about flying, other than a lot of flying is automated for the most part, that a total beginner would be overwhelmed.

> And even then you need to take everything you experience with a pinch of salt.

Fully agree, though I think they're trying to figure out just how much if any do you learn. I think the best way for anyone to learn might just be to go to a flight school. Your fly hours is what matters more than anything because if shows you are capable.
Just as deciding what roads to show on a map, deciding what labels to place and where on a map is a hard problem. There may not be sufficient room for it in the location where you want to place it. If so, do you move it ‘a bit’, maybe also move another label, which means having to move another, etc. or do you leave it out?

Worcester likely is too close to Boston to have room for it at the chosen level of detail.

In fact the article mentions a tool for this (sslh), but rejects it because it hides the source IP from the HTTP backend (and other reasons).
I understand that this is more of a proof of concept than a bridge built to solve a practical problem ... but it feels like this structure was engineered NOT to solve a problem.

Normally bridges allow you to cross over something that you could not otherwise easily cross, such as a stream, a gully, or a competing transport path.

But this bridge basically sits over some flat paths that are easy to traverse as-is, and it makes them harder to traverse, because now you need to go up and down the bridge.

Indeed, because of the bumpiness of the structure, I would not be surprised if it is inaccessible for wheelchairs and bicycles, where a flat path would have been adequate.

So as a technical feat, I guess it achieves its desired purpose, but it has negative practical value.
Interesting things from the assembly video:

- The printer prints variable-thickness layers in order to have the joint faces be non-parallel

- There are no additional beams inside; it's just the concrete pieces

- They make a wooden form to support it while being assembled, and then remove it when the structure is complete

- It's unclear what the black joining material is, and whether it's adhesive
How is it a fallacy? I mean misinformation by definition; you’re correct that power structures may distort truth to achieve an objective, and that’s not good - that’s the prima facie misinformation I’m talking about here.

I agree it would have been better if news outlets like the NYT didn’t regurgitate things like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as factual, but that will happen when the intelligence community is embedded at said news organizations.
The Stadia tech was so much further ahead of others, it's such a waste it didn't get time to flourish. They could have really changed the paradigm if it had better management.

It's difficult for anyone who doesn't work there to know, but I would guess based on what I know of how ranking decisions are made that you are mistaken. For example I worked there prior to the 2020 election and on Instagram there was no specific ranking rule of any kind related to keywords like that, and no intentional bias to push up one side or another in any way, outside of ads and government officials.

Yep, I'm a pilot and have been working on getting my instrument rating out of London Southend airport in the UK.

I have the exact same Cessna 172 that I fly (with steam gauges, not a modern glass cockpit).

And for the low low price of £FREE compared to circa £250 per tacho hour I can test my heart out on the exact test that I need to pass to get my rating.
IIRC the author of that article really misunderstood what he was working with, for example he mentions that everything in EFL is an Evas_Object but that is only for the Evas library - which is a scene graph (another thing he seemed to misunderstand). In addition using a generic handle for an object is also something common in C APIs that want to hide the implementation details for objects, especially generic ones (one of the most common cases is HWND on Windows).

I haven't used EFL myself to judge its quality (i considered it for a bit but from what i could tell it doesn't seem the main developer(s) considers backwards compatibility important - there is some API revamp which on one hand sounds nice but on the other hand it means anything that uses the existing API will stop working - though i might be wrong here) but from what i could tell the author didn't really knew the API he was working with.
Setting it up took hardly 5 minutes for me (for Rust). And it hasn't caused any issues so far. Forcing a fresh build of artifacts is also very easy.

Meanwhile, the only legitimate problem you mentioned is if it causes a build error and we don't immediately consider it as the source of the issue. But I use the check command so often that it is easy to suspect the cache if check succeeds and build fails.

Absolutely. They hate technology and modernity and want to live as subsistence farmers, a lifestyle they romanticize endlessly (see the part about "growing your own food," "learning to fix things," etc).

So many people fantasize about moving to a farm in the country. Collapse-advocates want events to force them (and everyone) to make that change. A collapse is ideal because they will be forced to do something they fantasize about and not miss out on anything new that modernity creates (because modernity will be gone).
This article is probably a reason why a lot of people did not pay much attention to EFL but i don't think the author had some misunderstandings about the API (see my other comment here[0]).

> I was always taught (in the books and during flights) to trust the aircraft instruments.

I'm just saying this for other readers, you probably know already, but the word "taught" is doing a lot of work here. Training for IFR requires many hours of being put into many situations designed to fool your vestibular system to get you to forcefully override it and just use the instruments. Many people crash because they ignore the instruments (due to task saturation) or in a panic, think they are faulty and trust their body. IMC is no joke.
Ask HN: Retrieve full author names for a large volume of medical papers?
For a meta analysis I need to retrieve the full author names for around 10k medical papers. Unfortunately, most databases only have the authors listed with their initials + last names.

Some websites (like ResearchGate) list full names but usually only for a subset of the authors. Also, doing a Google search like “{author_last_name_with_initials} full name {institute_name}” usually returns the full name of the author somewhere in the search results.

My current approach would be to (Python script):

* Retrieve the desired list of papers through the PubMed eutils API (gives me the title, the PMID and the DOI for every paper)

* Use the PMID to retrieve the metadata for every paper through the PubMed eutils API (gives me the last names of their authors, their initials and their institutes)

* Use Google Search via SerpApi, search for the term “{author_last_name_with_initials} full name {institute_name}”, forward the resulting JSON to a LLM, ask it to return the full name of the author and the link to the source

I tried this approach with a few papers and it seems to work. However, I wonder if there is a more elegant solution to this problem. I was not able to find a free, API-accessible service that provides this kind of information.
I quite liked living in the Tenderloin. It's close to transit, it's cheap, and it's got great restaurants. I wouldn't live there if I had a cohabitating partner or kids, though.
A website works on all platforms; Mac, Linux, Windows, ChromeOS, ... maybe even Android. An app works on a single platform.

To me, they could put it on github and serve it on github pages. I suspect though that there's a bunch of non-open source libraries being used and getting into a condition that could be open sourced is person power they don't want to spend when they have an infinite list of things to work on.
For context, he is reasonably well known -- probably the third most-prominent of the early Confucians (albeit a distant third, after Confucius and Mencius), with partial and complete English translations. But, he was often regarded by Confucians throughout Chinese history warily, because of certain "Legalist" tendencies (which, to put it crudely, were more authoritarian and Machiavellian as well as more legalistic), which were frequently disparaged (but quietly drawn on by pragmatic "statecraft" thinkers). Especially because two of his students, Han Fei and Li Si, were arguably the most (in)famous legalists.

That said, I had a teacher years ago from Taiwan who argued that 1) Xunzi was the first full-blown "philosopher" (in the Western sense of offering an epistemology etc and arguing in a logically reasoned way) in Chinese history, and that 2) Xunzi and Zhuangzi were the smartest Chinese thinkers of all time. Years later, I'm not sure she was wrong.
The Plague of Justinian killed between 40-60% of the eastern Roman Empire in a decade. Pretty sure that disrupted some supply chains and yet humanity and civilization persevered.

The problem they are trying to solve is how to quickly and efficiently build bridges. They built something to facilitate learning how to do that in the most practical means for them.
Most people on Meta's product follow too many accounts to see everything everyone posts. In an alternate reality where ranking is illegal, the game would be different and worse. Accounts would just repost the same content over and over every few minutes to stay at the top of the feed, or some other strategy to get distribution.
