Mm, "The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" and all that.

I suppose it is just a case of balance.

I sure am on one end of the bell curve, apparently. People don't seem like risk takers and play it safe (from my biased perspective). 'Try anything once' doesn't seem like a mantra that people actually do take to heart. "Live a little" gets proverbial blank stares. "Spend your money, what's the point in it otherwise?!" gets a concerned shuffle, then no action, from elderly relatives. "The world is your oyster!" results in no holidays being booked despite them opining the need or want for one. Well, from this very opinionated view, there are a lot of people playing it safe and hiding in their boxes, letting their resources go unused. But to each their own, if people are comfortable and happy and society is utilitarian.

Book a skydive, indulge in fancy unhealthy food for once, get a flight somewhere! Last night I bought tickets to a dance festival in Albania. I just need to get to Corfu by June to get my boat trip. Next week I am going to wander around the English countryside for a week. I think in Feb I will get the train to the Netherlands. I might wander EU for a bit. Meanwhile I have a friend that is miserable, stuck in an apartment, unwilling to spend the gold pot she sits upon, but wishing she could join me. The gold pot will go to charity in her will though at least.

Anyway, I suppose it is not in my nature to do Calls to Actions like this, but I found myself writing this because the person that I am replying to reminds me that IMO there is a bias in the other direction in the Overton window and in literature. It all feels very boring and safe to me. It's too longevity based and not quality based. I don't think Instagram trends are a counter-example - If anything I think they reinforce my point (that people will satiate their desire for things by watching someone else do it instead of themselves).
Fascinating, thank you!

I find it interesting that the boundaries are defined by a combination of physical land features and other property boundaries.

I guess this means that there's the error could potentially accumulate when you reference against property boundaries. Then you come up against some physical reference and have to resolve the inconsistency somehow.
Odin is a general purpose language, in the same way C.

Professionally, we use Odin to create all of our software at JangaFX: EmberGen, LiquiGen, and GeoGen.

Many people have been using Odin for similar purposes:

* game development

* application development

* 3D graphics

* physics related stuff

* etc

This is what a lot of people feel Odin's "niche" is, even if it is not restricted to that. A good example of this is Odin's first class features for array-programming, swizzling, matrices, quaternions, and many other things useful when dealing with 3D related things (graphics, physics, games, etc).
The last commit in the repo of "Deep Learning from Scratch" was 5 years ago. It is hopelessly outdated. The field is changing very fast.
You don't get less of what you prohibit, though. Lots of prohibited things just get swept under the rug, and in turn, become more extreme.
Microsoft really love those angle brackets don't they?
Last year my goal was "I can take off for a week or two and the technical infrastructure is fine"; this year it's "I can take off for a week or two and the business infrastructure is fine" (meaning, there aren't enterprise prospects who are completely blocked by my absence, nor is the content/blog/changelog pipeline always waiting on me). Largely, this means finding someone who can handle some of the higher-touch parts of sales & onboarding and be a little more proactive in terms of writing.

Or they decided it was an opportunity to test potential improvements. Testing them on a new line where fixing any "improvements" that don't pan out will be perceived as an improvement might well be better than testing them on an old line where any regressions will be immediately perceived as such...
While it's an interesting point. I'm not sure I agree that these are here purely to stop homeless people from sleeping on them.

For a start, I would give anyone on the underground about 3 minutes, if they attempted to sleep anywhere, before they were moved on. It's one of the few places where you regularly see staff on the public transport network in London.

I think there is a legitimate argument that these arm rests are actually providing a useful service by delimiting the space for each person. Few people will naturally sit on the spot at the end of a bench seat which is already partially occupied (and other people will discourage it by sitting near the middle). Where as people will take an empty seat which is clearly free and separated from the other people on the bench.
Lol, what? Of course it can. Nvidia can say they don't allow it in their user agreement, but last time I checked user agreements don't form actual legal law. Nvidia can sue you for breaking the agreement(I wonder what for, exactly?) But that's about it.

The worst thing that can happen is Nvidia declining any warranty repairs on these cards as they've been used outside of the intended use. But it's definitely not a legal issue.

And EULAs in general are just not enforceable outside of the US.
People without a home do not have access to the platforms that these seats are on. These seats are on the underground, past the ticket barriers, and they would quickly be removed for trespassing on private property, as all TFL stations are staffed.

Typically in London, People without a home would be found outside the station, or occasionally in the concourse.
I think it is worth it for the stats in general. I would think it is likely not worth it for any individual to religiously follow.
I see now, they have mutable variables, within a lexical scope anyway.
That's not an honest answer. The question is why _you_ are doing it.
It benefits me, the non native english speaker passing by in the comments and who learnt something today.
You seem to be missing the point of the discussion here, which was to compare results returned. Not to rate if one site is better than another.
The difference is blacklistd is just a api and a database for telling the firewall to block ip's. The decision to inform blacklistd is on the application side, and not a scanner that checks the log's produced by that application.

And yes, DoS is a very good example, if your application writes so much log's (during a attack) and fail2ban has to analyze them during that, then machine could very well DoS itself, the blacklistd approach is much simpler and straightforward BUT (and that's a big one) the applications has to support it.
I don't think I've ever seen a homeless person sleeping in a London Underground station in 30 years of commuting, and many of them have benches without armrests.
Miracle escape as burning plane lands at Tokyo airport after collision
Right! It's dead simple.

Normally I might put a title like this down to opinion but here, the author suffers not knowing enough about the subject to justify having an opinion, let alone publish one.

Fail2ban is a stupidly easy way to block lazy hacking scripts. It's easy to extend to handle simple honeypot services. It's no replacement for real security but it makes focussing easier.
Although even then it could be 1 thing out of 100 things he does to actually be helpful, e.g. exercise.
In a way it's related to the first event.

And to extend to this comment, I highly recommend reading the FAQ: <https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/>

> What is the history of the project?

> The project started one evening in late July 2016 when Ginger Bill was annoyed with programming in C++. The language began as a Pascal clone (with begin and end and more) but changed quite quickly to become something else.

> Bill originally tried to create a preprocessor for C to augment and add new capabilities to the language. However, he found this endeavour a dead-end. That evening was the point at which Bill decided to create an entirely new language from scratch instead of trying to augment C

---

> What use cases are the language best suited for?

> Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing built for high performance, modern systems and data-oriented programming.

> Odin is the C alternative for the Joy of Programming.

Even though Odin is a "general purpose" language, in the same vein as C, many people have been using Odin for:

* Game Development

* Application Development

* 3D Graphics

* Physics

* etc

Can you explain this for the ignorant?
Show HN: Arrest – A simple python library to structure and validate HTTP calls
I made Arrest in an attempt to reduce the boilerplate that comes with interfacing an external HTTP api in a python application, usually using aiohttp or httpx.
The steps involved are typically quite a lot. Like creating functions per available HTTP methods and routes, authentication, exception handling, and retries, to name a few.
This quickly becomes a boilerplate when we have a lot of internal / external services to interface with.

Arrest helps by providing a clear one-time configuration using services and resources with the help of pydantic's data validation for the request and response, as well as exception handling and retries built-in. Calling an api becomes a simple `await service.resource.get("/path")`.

If anyone wants to take a look, docs are available here: https://s-bose.github.io/arrest/

The project is still in its early stage and I am constantly looking to improve it in every aspect. I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
I don't see why the parent comment would have meant the big 3 cloud companies. The GPU rental space is pretty commoditised, unlike for instance CDN/object storage where staying locked into a single vendor makes things simpler.
The bin/ is not helping. It's a sixth sense as a bug bounty hunter.
Too bad how difficult it is to get a legit and trusted online hacker, i have been scammed many times trying to get a job done by an hacker. I want to thank ( HACKCOPERATION ) for coming through for me and getting my job done. Now i have access to the text messages and photos of my partner without his knowledge. i can proudly recommend your good works to other people in need of hacking service. contact ( hackcoperation@ gm ail c om )

Why do you think so? the impermanence of it? the gradual performance decrease? the biological/physical limitations that constraint it?
Nice! Playing around with the widget under the section "Experimenting with lines" I'm reminded of Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle talk [0] (an absolute must watch, if anyone hasn't yet). In particular, changing the smoothness reveals a sort of scaling effect that I'd probably never know about if not playing around with sliders and having it update in real time rather than setting individual values. Very interesting and beautiful!

With a constant rotation of contractors and the government staff overseeing them, offering innovative solutions at a better price than the next bidder, opportunities to learn from experience are difficult to achieve with large multi year projects
The Comment sections here reminds me of a Hacker who i equally met through the review of friends when i was at the edge of losing my funds, it happen that Mrs Theresa Michelle on Linkedln whom i got texting with earlier this year prolly mislead me into investing in an online digital cryptocurrency company that offers investors great profit in return. my first investment seems to be successful but after that i invested more money then after awhile when it was time for me to take my profits as well reinvest as usual the company system suddenly deactivate me from making withdrawals, i contacted Mrs Theresa but she asked me to invest more funds which isn’t normal, i tried to contact the customer care system for help they rather ask that i deposit an extra $35k usd for maintenance fee after i already have a total of $171k usd on hold, the whole situation got me really depressed and mad at a point that was when i got into looking out for a hacker who could be of help Luckily enough i came across HACKCOPERATION @ G M A I L . C O M , i first texted him on his Telegram account @ HACKCOPERATION He replied and i explained the whole scenario to him and he assured me to be of help, i trusted him and we got going after some time he asked for wallet for transfer of my funds i couldn’t still believe everything not until i saw my funds back in my wallet. i thanked him enough for being such a savior as well paid him off as we agreed even with more
To be honest, I would love to forget some books I read and re-live the thrill of being startled by the plot again.
The difference might be in the risk, since the insider keep the "surplus returns". So he gamble more aggressively than agreed upon. But ye of the bank does that it is the same thing, ye.

It does exist, it's very popular, and people won't let go, just because the gummint says so. So, the prohibited thing will go underground. It gets more extreme, organized criminal activity will increase, people's trust in others and in the establishment weakens. That I'd definitely call a blight on society. Now, which blight we pick is the question. Doing the harmful thing in the open, in controlled ways, or doing it in the dark, in uncontrolled ways? I don't think the latter has much success, if a generally nicer society is the goal.
Yeah, the one that says dramme instead of D-RAM.
Rolling aggregates with SQL window functions
YetAnotherNick is probably referring to the geforce eula [1] which says:

"Customer may not [...] provide commercial hosting services with the SOFTWARE. [...] The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted."

So if you were e.g. an ad agency artist using a 4090 at your desk to generate images for commercial use - that's fine, because it's not in a datacenter, and the commercial services you're providing with it aren't hosting.

I've never heard of nvidia taking any enforcement action, or defining precisely when an office becomes a datacenter - I suspect this is mostly to ensure the big cloud providers don't offer 4090s.

Yeah, I mean, real estate in BC (where he bought one of his properties) is notoriously corrupt, and lucrative. Most real estate bought in BC is paid in cash, often by some dizzying maze of LLCs or whatever the Canadian equivalent is. Essentially money laundering and investment rolled into one.
Yes, compared to many places in Europe (and even parts of Asia), UK's rail system is pretty bad. But it is still a practical way to get from city to city in the UK. In the US, except for the Washington-NYC-Boston corridor (and maybe the San Diego-Los Angeles route) it isn't really anymore. You can technically take a train from NYC to Chicago, but it will take you longer than the same train trip took 100 years ago! And insane house prices are very much a problem in the US as well.
It’s not like the usual pipe-curl-to-bash installation instructions are much better.
Free-music-demixer adds multi-threading to run Demucs faster in the browser
Hi HN,

Over the Christmas break I added multi-threading to the WASM Demucs module in freemusicdemixer

Demucs (v4 hybrid transformer) is a much higher quality model than the previous default, but it ran very slowly when limited to one worker: ~17 minutes for an average 4-minute song

I have since implemented multi-threading with WebWorkers.

If you raise the "MAX MEMORY" setting to 16 GB or 32 GB, your track will demix within 7-5 minutes, producing state-of-the-art results.

There is also support for the Demucs 6-source model which adds piano and guitar stems.

Please reach out and be loud about any bugs or UX issues you encounter!: https://github.com/sevagh/free-music-demixer/issues

The design and planning process for UK infrastructure is already notoriously expensive and we already do significantly more "planning" than we used to do 100 years ago (when we were actually capable of rapidly building high quality infrastructure).

I would expect there to already be consultants doing similar to what you've suggested however the work is complex and many will be quite cut-off from the build process or only around in the short-term.
IMHO it's the against the EULA to rent a 4090 - and this is why the big cloud platforms don't offer any. But using a 4090 in a company's own datacenter should be fine.
I think my wording was confusing. The phrase "at first" was supposed to qualify the idea of vitamins, not phlogistons. In other words, "You think the lack of this substance causes scurvy? What is this negative pathogen you're talking about, phlogistons?"
Fabs cost a lot of money and take a lot of time to build.

Hmm indeed, how could a rail line that makes a mere £1 billion in yearly revenue afford such an egregious expense.

I don't understand how that works. (reverse) changes every cons cell in order to make each cell point in the "opposite" direction. Do you have a reference I can check?
Fair enough. Still, £2M in copper would weigh about 700 tonnes.
Because then they are committing the mortal sin of capitalism: leaving money on the table.

They artificially segment the market because "pro" users are willing to pay almost 10k for a good card. So why not offer just that?

>You don't see too many banks collapsing, don't you? When it happens, its a big deal like with the SVB earlier last year.

"Moderating risk" = depending on the US federal government bail you out?

There really is no need for the charade of banks now that electronic databases are very solid technology. Their whole role in transmitting and keeping an account of money is surely reproducible by the federal government at very little cost (maybe even lower cost due to not needing FDIC and all that infrastructure) without having to pay a middleman.

That's just solfège (Do-Re-Mi) and kids do learn it traditionally. Translating from sheet music to solfège is trivial once you know the piece's key, since both are based on the diatonic scale.
I worked in finance and I am not aware of jurisdictions that mandate 2 weeks time off. Can you mention one? I am aware of some recommendations but I have worked up to board level, and never see this being more than an excuse to not miss the next golf tournament.

I don't know what customization or personalization is going on in your search compared to mine, but I followed GPs directions and posted my results.

They likely counted the number of passengers via turnstiles or a gate or something. Think passenger count would be a good indicator of expected revenue and there would be a pretty clear gap. Probably one of the things the auditors noticed that was explained away by buggy code.
I was like, 19 or so when boxed software ended, around 2013, but before then I don't remember any paid software that didn't come from a physical store on optical media.

I have not actually bought any software besides a few games and an android app or two, in about a decade.

I've paid for SASS, Tile, Netflix, a cheap VPS, and used lots of YouAreTheProductWare, and made a few donations, but FOSS seems to be better than commercial software you can actually buy, all the cool stuff in proprietary seems to be cloud based.

Help us revoice content creators
The platforms we are using started as community projects, open for everyone, supporters of free speech. But today, the platforms are more like providers of ads, ad-friendly content and "free" speech within platform-friendly limits.
It's time to change this narrative, it's time to take back the internet from advertisers and large corporations. We want to help enable broad monetization, to creators of all sizes and shapes, no limits - your community decides who gets paid what.
It doesn't reek of that for me. The other extreme is to insist on genetic engineering to increase IQ so that we have more "geniuses" with "novel" ideas, when in reality those ideas have been known for a long time and just needed to be put into practice.
This technology protects everyone equally, and more importantly will exist regardless of whether or not you want it to. Any regulatory attempt to kill FDE will only result in the use of more deniable systems by criminals and the mass exploitation of everyone else who relies on the physical security of their computing devices. The tech isn’t magic. We must simply live with the consequences of the reality we exist in, and adapt accordingly in the hunt for those who prey on children.
It helps that in areas where there's a high concentration of trains on the go they just put a single pin that says "N trains" - the ones that have one pin for every train are a bit busy and can be sluggish
It's telling you can only imagine "simplified" systems.

We've had alternative systems for more than 150 years, and they have been undeniable didactic successes. So-called "moveable do" systems incorporate the "music theory framework" as you call it. But conservatories are refusing to build on it, all these things get accepted only as stepping stones to "real" music notation, not as something potentially transformative.

The arguments you make could easily have been made against the teaching of regular literacy too, once: it would certainly not have been obvious before the fact what the fruits of "everyone mastering this" would be.
Most of what I've learned and is worth knowing is from sample size of N=1. Doesn't make it that much less applicable.
