So do you think a terminal that works more along the way of thinking of non-technical people, or maybe similar to other text-based applications, could provide an entry point to non-technical power users?

I have been thinking a lot about providing a shell-like experience as a quick way to make advanced functionality available in an app, without having to build fully fledged GUIs for them, but I’m not sure whether that would work. Clearly, discoverability and text input are the key issues, but I don’t know if alleviating those is sufficient to make the interface actually interesting and useful.
Meanwhile, the presumed "problem" was "preventing adoption", yet my counter point invalidated your statement. H2 is a success. It's stored. It's usable, in consumer driving applications. It's being refueled by consumers, right now, world wide.

It's not a problem. At all.
If you are going though something similar, don’t forget to let Private Eye know.

Apparently not, this has been going on for decades. This is a small culling compared to 2001 and 2008. Google is now a shit company just collecting rents, has been for probably 15 years, and this is indicative of a shit company just collecting rents.
Isn't there `proc` on Linux systems?

Get the pid of the process you want to inspect, and while its running, execute `ls -lh /proc/<pid>/fd/`. It will list the open file descriptors for that process.
They work with standard power outlets, just very slowly. Our Hyundai gets 50 miles of range every 24 hours its plugged in at home.

Mostly I charge at work not at home, which uses 240v power (think an electric dryer), and that can charge the car fully in 8-10 hours.

There's no clean power for cars at all. Every extra joule of energy used by cars, should be considered coming from the dirties of fuels... because the first thing we do, when we have an excess of power generation, is turn off the dirty plants.

But outside of that, these things will improve, although your numbers are a bit out there.

Good example. Fries used to be (when I was a kid) deep fried in beef tallow. Nowadays it's usually plant based fats and while still good, it's not nearly as good as those fried in beef tallow.

Also, fries need mayo, which is made with eggs.

GP left a fair number of qualifiers in their post which you have conveniently ignored so that you could cherry pick an example of people being laid off from roles perceived to be comparatively hard / prestigious.

This is a bad-faith argument. If you disagree with what they’re clearly trying to convey, and want to make a case against it, I’d be keen to hear one without cherry-picking some compiler engineering layoffs in a company where the vast majority of others are obviously doing something very different to that.

Yes, the full version is "All generalisations are wrong, including this one". It's attributed to Mark Twain.

I am unable to edit my original post anymore to reflect that is also my opinion :(
It definitely is (IME, and YMMV of course). Fish shell and the similar zsh-autosuggestion plugin work with directory context, and it almost always suggests the intended autocompletion (not sure why this McFly thingie needs a neural network for this when a per-directory most-recently-used pattern matcher already works perfectly).
> As for our case, we need to apply edge detection in order to find the edges of documents in order for our Document Scanner SDK to detect the document in real time and scan it.

I've seen some kind of edge detection also used in software used in automated KYC/AML pipelines, to detect obvious cut/paste in utility bills / passport scans etc.

Forgot the name of the (commercial) software but it's a thing.

It's of course possible to fool these but a great many dumb copy/paste which do look perfect to a human will actually become obvious after applying simple edge detection.

FWIW Gimp has Sobel edge detections for sure (don't know about the others), so you can "play" with edge detection if you're on Linux.

> A lot of chips contain animal based flavor enhancers.

I think this is mainly as a response to people using plant based fats for deep frying. Traditionally they were fried in beef tallow, no need for any flavour enhancers if you fry them in beef fat.
Within DirectX I like the usage of types compared to OpenGL, where everything is GLuint. I like the explicit management of state and the use of views on resources to bind the same memory to different contexts. I vastly prefer HLSL to GLSL also. I know there's vulkan, but my experience was going to DirectX 11 from OpenGL 3+

Within Win32, it's similar though there's an overuse of HANDLEs. I like initializing things as structs and I like that ComPtrs provide built in memory management. A lot of posix APIs feel underpowered (semantically designed around reading files from tapes), and Microsoft often provides a safe _s version of most of them (Yes, some of which are part of the C standard library and some of which are not). There are various Win32 APIs I like (IOCP, for example), and it's all tied together with MSVC and the static analyzers available to the compiler (SAL). I don't think GCC has anything even close to SAL. I also haven't found a C++ IDE I like nearly as much as Visual Studio. I used to hate jetbrains UI but I actually tried IntelliJ recently and they redesigned the entire thing to be quite nice now, so maybe clion is nice (but I'm not willing to pay for it).

I also VASTLY prefer powershell to bash
I don't know. I live in Ireland and Teslas have definitely lost their caché in general. Certainly nobody has a positive impression of Elon.
> Nowadays, computers are big/fast enough (GPUs) that building models that learn edge detection implicitly and do segmentation or the end task directly is feasible.

Wouldn't re-using Meta's SAM (Segment Anything Model) be sufficient here? (which is freely available and, I think, free to use?) Or do you think you need to build your own model specifically for detection bills/sheets of paper?
Which is a totally reasonable way of going about the problem, of course. /s

I've written a little about "weasels" (Weakly State Like Entities) -- think Disneyland and Burning Man. I think the world is already full of things which do most of what micronations or network states aspire to. Activists who want to build something in this domain should be looking at buying a casino complex near an airport and redoing the decor and values more than buying land.

It's all about licensing and social norms in the end.

I was just saying that there is no such thing as an insufficient counter-argument to something that can't even stand on its own. "People who say X NEVER say Y" is just.. nothing.

And when I "apply logic to the human world" there is not an instance in which I'm not fully "inside" the human world myself. Logic isn't some magical outside thing, and like conversation it doesn't have to be a means to an end.

The problem there is with PyTorch. They've got bugs in their AMD build flow that people keep pointing out to them, but because it's people with consumer cards which are "unsupported" (which just means AMD won't personally solve your problems with those cards, not that they aren't intended to work) they close the issues / PRs without fixing the bug.

AMDs wording isn't helping either of course.
Erm... AWS migration? What am I missing?

A DDoS on AWS would most likely bankrupt Drew and Sourcehut, even if Amazon managed to absorb the traffic. Not to mention the principial issues that they have with AWS in the first place.
That's not true. I work for a company that sells DDoS mitigation products to large network operators like Cogent for helping them deal with exactly these kinds of attacks in a much more sane manner than, "oy, just blackhole the destination and head out to lunch."

Either Cogent didn't buy our product (or a competitor's equivalent), or they have a network op who's a fresher and only knows how to blackhole things. Either way, it's a bad look for Cogent.

NOT being afraid of printers is a red flag.
A couple reasons: Vega 11 is the best iGPU on a desktop CPU that you can actually buy right now. Preliminary benchmarks on engineering samples are fun to ogle at, but aren't necessarily an accurate representation of the product that will actually land on your local Microcenter's shelves. Then there's the estimated MSRP - only the 8500G's $180 price tag fits the "budget gaming PC" description, and even that's pushing it. You can also buy a better GPU than a 1050Ti for less than $50 used.

"Work offline" and "You can still buy" are satisfied by looking for Zigbee, Zwave, or Thread/Matter based devices. These don't connect to the internet by design and require an inexpensive dongle to form a mesh network. In very few cases WiFi devices with local HTTP API or MQTT are perfectly fine as well, a good criteria to look at is whether Tasmota or ESPhome (alt firmware) list support for them.

"Fail normal" would be trickier, I don't think there's one size fits all. For lights, prefer switch relays over smart bulbs. Look out for customizable "default" state when power comes back on.
Fetching the commits isn't the problem, knowing which commits to fetch is. You need some way to assign a stable identifier to a repository and to query for the current tip of the master branch from that identifier. This can be done naively by using public-key cryptography and DHT nodes storing signed {timestamp, commit_hash} messages, but this is wildly insecure against key compromise, which (as Bitcoin and others have shown) is pretty much inevitable. You'd probably need m-of-n signatures and some way to do key rotation, and that's not easy to do if you can't just run arbitrary programs, like you can on the EVM for example.

There's a difference between user-swappable and battery-as-a-service. There is a company called NIO that seems to be successfully doing battery-as-a-service in China right now and is trying to expand this platform to Europe. They're also in talks with other manufacturers who seem to be interested in developing a common standard to make the batteries interchangeable so the stations can service other brands too.

There may be safety concerns (e.g. if I understand it correctly, the swapping process is fully automated and the car locks the doors and takes over steering, so I'm not sure how this deals with emergency scenarios where the driver might need to leave the car or intervene) but as far as the driver is concerned they never touch the battery so the risk of accidents from improper wiring is significantly reduced.

>GDPR is about consent

Consent is one of six different legal bases for processing personal data. Consent is important, yes, but it's not the be all and end all.

>It should even be fine as a cookie, although there have been talks about storing on a users device without consent

That will require consent, because the use of cookies is regulated not by the GDPR but by a different law (the ePrivacy Directive).

Under the ePrivacy Directive all cookies[0] that aren't strictly necessary to provide the service require consent.

[0] In fact it's even broader than cookies as the law covers storing any information on the user's device, so it includes things like the local storage API and indexed DB.

I loosely followed the discussion here on HN, but I don't see any mention of anyone from the Post Office being arrested/prosecuted/sentenced for this.

It seems that some people there abused their power and need to cool down behind bars.
Yes, it's stunning.

Print-outs of the support system tickets are shown in the inquiry [1] (e.g. the ones with former technical support engineers). For instance, there is one from October/November 1999 with conversation history of people from different levels of support, where you can see they (the support and software engineers) knew the exact amount of money missing and that the caller was "very agitated as he keeps having problems with the system when balancing. He thinks it is a system problem".

I haven't seen support system tickets where they stated the discrepancies were caused by Horizon in the inquiry (obviously in court they proved there actually were), but I only watched a few hours of this so far. And the support engineers stated they did not grasp the implications of the callers having discrepancies.

The support engineers even visited the callers on-site.

To be precise it is finally getting some of the attention it deserves, both from the public and from the government.

The miscarriages of justice date from 1999 until 2015, and the high court ruling (about the software being faulty) that finally stopped the flow of convictions dates from 2019, almost five years ago. Very little happened since then, and in particular no one has been held accountable.

If that delay sounds absolutely bonkers to you then yes, that is what everyone else thinks as well.

From my experience, interactive CLIs are the worst of both worlds.

They are not as pretty and intuitive as GUIs, since the user has to learn terminal idiosyncrasies (e.g. unable to ctrl+c, or edit text in the middle of the sentence by mouse).

And, at the same time, they tend to be pretty bad for automating things (in the worst case, even unsuitable for automation) since now, you have to map the interactive commands to the non-interactive ones.

This comment made me feel unnecessarily old. It was only ~15 years ago that we went through all the drama of tech companies deciding whether or not they’d play ball. It’s not that Google can’t, it’s that they decided that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Apple decided otherwise. They’re very different companies selling very different things.

That's a really broad-reaching statement, much more so than might seem to a casual reader.

In an ideal case, each of these devices would:

1) Be open-source

2) Be programmable in a stack of kid-friendly languages, with a stack including Blockly, CircuitPython/JavaScript, and full-fledged kernel hacking

3) Clean, clear documentation and web interfaces for doing this

4) Integration with a secure non-wifi protocol like Zigbee

5) Have a standard, maintained back-end, so things like security fixes can hit all devices, no matter the sensors

Kids can (and some would) learn to do things much as they do with Scratch or Hour-of-Code projects, and it'd just be a different dynamic. There is a mint to be made there if a platform like Tuya could pivot here.

It's a decent chunk of work, but far from astronomical.

Step 2 would be to do something similar for HomeAssistant, or for a similar platform, and there ought to be devices which ship with that. The Zigbee coordinator should be programmable, configurable, and kid-friendly to do so. It should also automatically install security updates (ideally, via Ubuntu, rather than the vendor; Ubuntu is looking to make money; a $5-per-device plan for long-term remote maintenance would do it a lot better than giving me warnings about my machine being insecure, and if I won't pretty-please opt into having them track me with their premium platform)
The principal problem of any sufficiently advanced CLI tool is the combinatorial explosion of options. With more than a dozen options, you start having special cases like "it does foo when the bar option is used, baz otherwise". In a GUI, you generally express exclusivity or inclusivity with the use of the correct UI elements – a checkbox can become disabled when something else is selected.
