Felt it in Aichi. I think it was Shindo 3 or 4 here. A quite long one. Also felt the one before and the one after too, at Shindo 1. At this point there have been 19 earthquakes, but those were the only 3 we felt here.

There had been some unusual seismic activity in that region in the past 3 years.
Retroactive copyright extensions are changing the deal after it has been made, for the benefit of copyright holders and to the detriment of the public. This is unethical.

That's why I get angry when copyright holders try to make ethical arguments against piracy.
> Maybe the incentive structure of academia is the actual problem

it's fairly clear that it is the case. You are rewarded with tenure for pushing lots of papers, regardless of their validity, since nobody actually cares about replicating anything.

> peer review system is an imperfect, but perhaps effective

The peer review system is just about checking points of details or calculation in a study, they never bother to actually check if the original results are valid. It's a mostly useless process that does nothing but remove the most obvious problems in the writing stage.

> the alternative

just like we did for hundreds of years now, proper replication baked in, by different people in different places, following the exact same conditions or protocol.
How is it that I'm seeing it for like the 5th time?

Consistency is stellar. Do you plan working on animation next? all the examples on your site look more like a postcard with a bit of morph on it. Annoying Orange is more expressive.
There’s an example here:
https://app.artflow.ai/gallery/story/video/44e85eaef3c541629...

Judge for yourself.

My take: doesn’t seem remarkably different in consistency to other options, and the animation is massively inferior to other documented techniques (eg what corridor crew did in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ6z90MuURM several months ago).

> ... they are going to leave, eventually; maybe for a better job, maybe retirement, maybe they get hit by a bus.

I must say that I have heard that "hit by a bus" argument once too many.

What I see:

1 People very rarely get hit by a bus.

2 When someone leaves, two things happen.

A) Someone else, very often previously anonymous, becomes the new rock star.

B) It turns out that super important thing that guy was expert on was not so important after all...

Want to know how to treat such a problem properly? From ypur own article:

>> “No one should drive these vehicles until the remedy is performed,” the Japanese brand’s US arm said in a statement.

Now compare that to Tesla's approach.

By the way, hub bolts getting loose are a serious, and weird, issue. Less serious so than the suspension falling apart so, and not having a proper suspension design after sears of knowing about the issue.
Eh, is it really "consistent" costume if the chest plate of a character's armor changes in each shot? Or if the tassels on a sweatshirt are suddenly chrome?

I don't think this would pass in regular film for good consistency. It still looks like AI to me. I'm just being honest, as a totally non-expert media consumer. Consistency problems are a huge annoyance to me in movies, it's the kind of detail you should get right at the very least if you want to make a serious work.

But if I were doing that, I don't think I could trust this, based on the images on the linked page's masthead, and in that case this isn't a solved problem at all, and I wish you had not claimed it was solved. It would be fine to say you've made a dent in this problem! But now I just feel like you baited me into trying your app.
But which platform do you use for this. How do you discover new music? Do you have to upload the music manually to your device? Do you use some platform which automates this? My point is, that the streaming services are really convenient in this case. And that i mostly pay for the convenience.

Before people cheer too much, surprisingly works can retroactively be snatched back from the public domain and go back into
copyrighted state.

The prime example is the movie Metropolis. It became public domain in 1953 but copyright was restored in 1996 only to re-enter the public domain a year ago today.
I have a gigantic Dropbox folder with hundreds of PDF tech books that I am slowly working through. The focus is on the canonical and classic over the hippest or latest new thing. There have been a number of books that I read when they were fairly new that are classics now, like some of the Wiley titles on networking. It's one of the best things you can do for your career. Whenever you have some extended downtime, instead of hopping on social media and doomscrolling, open up this folder and keep working through books you need to read and understand.
My approach is mostly to curate your news/social/stream feed to individual people that post the sort of things you like, and to slower-moving publications. Limit your follows on social media. Prefer blogs and RSS over Twitter-style social. And/or read journals/magazines/books and reviews of them instead.

E.g. the old "The Morning Paper" blog by Adrian Colyer (https://blog.acolyer.org/) seems maybe up your alley? It's over now; dunno if what the new online versions of that are. For substantive programming stuff, these days I mostly read magazines and books, like CODE, Logic, and 2600. (IEEE Computer Society and ACMD have journals, but they're prety theoretical and academic; guessing that's not what you want here. I haven't found them very useful in my own programming work.) Sad to say, the current scene for this doesn't seem great. Old school Dr. Dobb's sounds like maybe what you want, but AFAICT there isn't really much like that any more? LWN and OSNews seem like modern online versions of stuff in that area, for system programmers at least. MIT Technology Review is also decent, but less about programming per se.
It's useful to remember that this is a community of individuals, each with their own opinions and experiences.
So true! Besides the efficacy of technique, techies tend to seek intellectual stimulation constantly. Complex sequences of martial arts and ballet appear more interesting to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlL3SATRPw

Good performances of of martial arts and ballet both value high in aesthetics. In east Asia it is common to perform choreographed martial arts in parties or galas, this is not too different from dancing! Quite a few contemporary young actors in China are former full-time ballet dancers, because they can execute the fighting sequences in films or TV plays beautifully.
This all makes sense for knowledge workers, but what about the rest of the world?

In a supermarket chain you need 1000 people following the exact process developed by a small team of superstars at head office.

Sometimes you will get someone who is good at convincing the others to stay on process, they get to be managers. IE the smarter staff rise up.

This is quite different to your example. Perhaps the corporation is not so stupid, its just not good at writing software?
I tend to think that large corporation are optimized to run things as usual, not make new ones, unlike a startup.

Hence the obsession with process, and why it somehow works.
>Yeah, except I prefer the cleanliness of Gnome over how scattershot and buggy KDE feels, so I’m SoL.

You know that linux distros are multiusers/multiseats systems right? You can perfectly use Gnome as default desktop and live switch to a dedicated gaming user with kde plasma desktop that is only used to launch games.

Kde plasma shoudln't be buggy if only used as a game launcher and disable baloo file indexing if you want to limit kde memory usage to minimum.
Ah then, just go buy any of the training tools like GTO+, GTOBase, Vision(by run it once), GTOWiz, PLOMastermind tool by Jnandez etc. They are essentially coaching software to learn the game(powered by a solver) and a ton of them have a practice section where you can play against an AI. One of the earliest Poker solver devs Oleg Ostroumov made this back in 2013 or so: https://holdem.olegsolvers.com/ . You can play with that.

On a side note, he also wrote about his story of building the first productized solver here:

I develop plugins for a specific nocode proprietary platform, sixth year now doing it for a living, 95% of all apps use plugins, which are the custom code interface, the escape hatch.
The ones that don't are very CRUDy apps with no remarkable features, like just some pretty design to input and show information.

And most apps use about 10 to 20 plugins.
Thanks for taking a look. There are a few uses for a program like this in 2024.

1: Some people still make ANSI and ASCII art as a means of exploring the medium.. well, artistically. Check out https://16colo.rs/ and you will see what I mean. They showed around 30 ANSI art packs published for the year 2023. It isn't exactly the heyday of the 90s, but it's not completely dead, either.

2: Some people like to use ASCII art in text user interface programs, in README files, etc. This is probably the real modern use for a program like this.

3: BBSs aren't completely dead, either. :) See: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ for examples. Most of them cater to the old IBM-PC style character encoding (or some other antiquated platform) and ANSI standards, but I think there is opportunity to have modern 256 color Unicode BBSs. With social media being so problematic in 2024, why not enjoy a tried and true medium? They usually connect over the internet now, of course.

I admit, the commercial applications are limited. It's mostly just good creative or nostalgic fun.
May not be the issue, but if you have your stdout piped into something or redirected to a file, you'll usually get a buffered stream, not a line-buffered one, in which case the \n won't trigger a flush.

yeah, that can make things a lot more complicated. I guess the only advice would be to move away from the coast when you get older, if possible.
We experienced a lower 6 on the shindo scale [1], which is the strongest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. The Noto peninsula experienced 7 and upper 6 level shaking.

Fortunately we have had a stretch of unseasonably warm weather recently, and most of the snow has melted in the area. If an earthquake of this intensity were to coincide with a meter of snow accumulation on the roof (we had 150 cm on our roof this time last year), it could cause many buildings to collapse.

That being said, I have seen some images of collapsed buildings coming out of Ishikawa, and I expect there will be some deaths from this earthquake. The live feed that NHK aired in real-time during the earthquake showed what appeared to be buildings collapsing. [2]

Note if you do venture onto twitter in search of updates, beware of trolls posting footage from the 2011 great east japan earthquake and trying to pass it off as current. E.g. images of cars being carried away in a tsunami are not real.

That would be a huge leap backwards. Something more like NeWS would make much more sense, since you have a scripting language in the browser that solves the terrible design flaws of X11 and Wayland.

We've come so far in the direction of NeWS by adding another layer, the web browser. Why add another third layer to move back in the opposite direction, when you could REMOVE X-Windows or Wayland and just have the browser that you need in the first place, running directly on the hardware, without the useless obsolete layer underneath.

I've written about this frequently and extensively (also extensibly), over more than 10 years on HN, and a lot longer than that elsewhere. But some people seem to have a mental block against understanding what the obvious advantages and efficiencies are, just don't get it, and never will, but actually want to move backwards towards X-Windows again.

Culture is more than language (and as Slovenian our language is different too). You don't have to spend a lot of time in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia to be able to see that they are culturally very different.

I also disagree that it was more multi-cultural than new countries are now. Possibly true at the beginning of 90s, definitely not true for Slovenia now.
I also fell into this new trap:

flyctl ips list

flyctl ips release 168.220.XXX.XXX

flyctl ips allocate-v4 --shared

Error: Your account has overdue invoices. Please update your payment information: https://fly.io/dashboard/myname/billing

Ok, so now they got my credit card info, because I had to pay 2$.

flyctl ips allocate-v4 --shared

Error: cannot use a shared ipv4 with wildcard hostnames, please remove those before allocating a shared IP: .XXX

flyctl certs list
flyctl certs remove *.XXX
flyctl ips allocate-v4 --shared

Now it works. Just have to fix my DNS records now. ipv6 or CNAME to the app.fly.dev domain preferred.

I don't like fly too much, because this is the first free hoster, which I have to constantly check for downtimes and restart the app then. Need a 10m cronjob now.

Customers want consistency. That’s why management turns people into a reliable system where anyone can quit without affecting the outcome of the system. Just like engineers think about software as a system, business people think about companies as a system. McDonalds is the prime example of this. If you enter one of the stores, it doesn’t matter whether John or Dave is in that day. The burger will be the same.

Some problems are innovation and misaligned incentives. A highly optimized system is efficient but inflexible, and sometimes optimized towards the wrong targets.
Ambient signifiers are not a new idea in design (mostly talked about in the use of alerts), but knowing just enough about who is present would be more compelling if there was a more clearly stated payoff for it. The idea seems to have different outcomes depending on what features the "presence" has (fuzzy cursors vs commenting at the side, for example).

This intrigues me as I had no idea, at one time, that the US didn't have the most restrictive copyright laws in the world. It looks like the US had to restore/extend copyrights to foreign works as part of the agreement that established the WTO?

That being said, copyright is a product of laws and laws can always change. Your comment made me believe that the copyright owner somehow extended their rights; not a literal act of Congress.
Those things are true, but I think you have to also state why. Do you want to talk to them about the map or the birds?

Because we don’t know how to measure output properly and corporations often misattribute success. I’ve seen it happen a few times where someone delivering crap quickly is praised (oh, look how productive he is, so many tickets closed) or someone who has good autopromotion skills (does little but talks a lot about it) or someone who simply led the project, and not the guys who did the high quality work. Then there is often a group of people fixing stuff after a super star moves to another sexy project.

The only way to make it sound less like a word salad is to increase the n-gram length (e.g. use the last 10 words to predict the next), but at that point it starts repeating the corpus.

I guess technically you can train on a huge corpus like those of NNs to mitigate that, but you’ll end up with more refined word salads then (edit: refined as in “locally coherent but globally still a word salad”)
The point would be to run the browser directly on the hardware without any intervening useless layers like X-Windows or Wayland, then implement the desktop environment in that, and when you needed to pop up a browser window on the desktop (which you always need to do frequently), or an html app like you'd usually run in Electron, simply and efficiently use the same browser that's running the desktop environment, sandboxed the way all modern browsers now already implement their renderers isolated from their chrome ui frames.

No need to run the user's browsers separately inside a slower layer of emulation, when you already have a browser implementing the desktop.

Fewer layers and less bloaty software is better. We're already stuck with the browser, and it's not going away, so use it for everything. X-Windows and Wayland are obsolete and useless, so should be flushed.

Mickey Mouse is quite literally Disney’s mascot. The same Disney with global theme park locations. It’s clear that Disney has far more prominence than Star Wars and friends combined. Hell they even own Star Wars now.
