Hell yeah. Find your slack. Long live Bob and the church of the subgenious.
"Friends of the Earth Norway" and "Nature and Youth" weren't personally affected by "mining waste being dumped in fjords" (if this is what really is happening). This is not a case of people who can't afford to have the law solve an injustice they are suffering. This is a case of people who wanted to spend some money on some principled stand... well, having principles costs money. Why should every Norwegian person pay for all of this?
The article needed a picture, so I guess they decided to use a picture of a completely different device.
It's indeed possible I have some schizophrenic (-ish) tendencies.
Yup, definitely. Often not only past the engineers control, but sometimes even past the control of the immediate management chain.

With the caveat that everyone responsible is also going to attempt to deny/deflect/reverse victim and offender, etc.

It’s amazing how ‘helpless’ some management/execs get when unpleasant decisions need to be made.
“Performance art” is my favorite term now.

I see so much of it. Serious problems that need creative solutions instead being hit with antics to show everyone is “working hard” or doing their best. Gratitude channels that were created with the intention of genuinely celebrating “wins” turning into political schemes abused by some to portray how much they’re “winning”. Its all very gross and seems like a huge distraction while the real issues remain unaddressed.
Ask HN: Tech dads, where are you, what's your support network?
No one tells you how tough being a dad is. No one tells you all your friends will move away and you yourself might not even be near any family to help. No one tells you you'll spend more time in your head than talking to others about it all. I'm curious to know where all the tech dads are and who you go to for support or spend time with. Who do you talk to about stuff? Do you have any time for yourself? Where are all the tech dads?
The future is now. Soon, in the middle of the Pacific ocean:

I wonder if this service will facilitate collapse of censorship in dictatorship countries like China and Russia. Especially if those countries are currently suffering from economic depression like China and Russia, and its citizens are waking up to its harsh realities and are keen to get unfiltered information
2.5G is still plenty for most creator use cases (even for editing a few 4K livestreams off a NAS). The only difficulty is if you hit certain types of routing, performance can't always keep up (sometimes even to a gigabit).

One thing I'd love is if more vendors would give a bunch of examples and specifically list what things are hardware accelerated and which are not (MikroTik's been pretty good about this lately, though it's a lot of digging in docs).
.nb files are Mathematica notebooks.
That's my entire point. The government created this situation. It wasn't always like this in aviation/aerospace.
Big picture, it feels like Podman is essential the same way Linux used to be.* It doesn't matter if very few people use it -- it's presence prevents its much bigger privately-owned brother(s) from doing terrible things.

*(I say "used to be" because Linux is now even more essential and central, not less.)
This doesn't make any sense. NJ and California exist under a single nation with a common treasury. You are basically agreeing with my point. If the world was a single nation then sure.
Bosses blaming RTO mandates for poor performance is really a signal that leadership is disconnected from reality. It should be expected company wide that the RTO mandate will cause systematic issues, and after the mandate is completed, a new normal will emerge.
Yes, or from code snippets from “Numerical Recipes” or just from people with limited programming skills basically TRANslating FORmulas directly from maths by brute force of will into code. There’s only so many ways you can write

df_dx = (f(x+delta) - f(x))/delta

…or whatever after all- it just isn’t that different no matter what programming language you use. I’ve just looked at way too much quant code over my career.

My dad, for example used to write chemical models and started to program on mainframes in fortran. Every now and again he would ask for help porting his models (now in basic or whatever) to a new platform and it was always the same : tens of global variables all with names which were one letter and one digit and no logic to them[1].

[1] Typical conversation: “What’s this formula supposed to actually calculate dad?” “It’s the concentration. You could just use d2 instead.” “Dad you’ve got d0, d1, d3, d4 and d5 but no d2.” “Oh I must have removed that”. “Well how am I supposed to calculate it?” “Just use Newton Raphson” (It was always Newton Raphson.)
IMO, everything in your "and yets" except relationships and overthinking sound like ordinary preferences, rather than lack of agency. Like, if you actively want to change those preferences and haven't, maybe that's less agentic, but they seem reasonable to me. Although I'm biased because I share some of those traits.

And the other two I would personally consider in meaningfully different categories than your successes, so maybe they're just not in line with your strengths (yet).
i remember news from 2023 that some counties in Vermont were hid by massive flooding (in 2023) although they were in the table from your article as the ones least likely to be hit by climate disasters (but hey, the stats are from 2020, so basically outdated anyway).
Meaning to say: nowhere is safe.

Nihilism is not the belief that there is no God and life is ultimately meaningless.

Nihilism is recognizing that there is no God and life is ultimately meaningless, while continuing to sacrifice at a grinding job you hate, continuing to submit to the phony morality of those higher than you in the social hierarchy, conforming to social rituals and customs you privately think are bullshit, continuing to follow the rules of external authorities as if that might pay off in the afterlife.

Nihilism is understanding the truth, but pretending the universe is different than it really is, so you can evade personal responsibility for creating your own meaning.

Nihilism is behaving as if there is a God who gives life meaning, even when you don't actually believe that, instead of assuming responsibility for making your own meaning during the brief time you're alive.
You should set it to permissive mode if you think you will ever need to re-enable that trainwreck.

Sometimes the benefit of shorter codebases is that you can actually see the code.

Understanding that your logic bug is obviously somewhere within a handful of lines of K/Q/etc that fit neatly on a single screen vs scrolling through 200 lines of logic in Python/Java/whatever is focussing.

Sure each line is more compact and may take more time to digest, but that is a reasonable trade-off in most cases.

For me, 10 lines you need to read carefully beats 100 lines of having your eyes glaze over and repeatedly skip over the bug because you are so dulled to all the boilerplate.
Famously, the 'swiss cheese' model [0, critical article] - every layer has holes, so layers of safety are required to reduce the chances of holes lining up (leading to a failure dropping though - and resulting in an accident).

Yep, or somehow they make it apparent that they indeed "parrot" stuff they had in their large dataset.
See my past comments for details.
Fooled by randomness? (See Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
So that when operational service is announced by their partners, they have a meaningful announcement that will get worthwhile press attention.

e.g. T-Mobile and Samsung might trot this out together (to counter Apple's announcement of emergency text for help by different means). It'll work better than if all the keywords have already occurred in media articles; it'll work especially better if they were testing on weird/old development phones or phones from different vendors than their chosen highlighted partners.

Basically there's no upside in disclosing equipment, and there's a lot of ways it can be unfortunate.
What is the third Dune? Are you referring to films or the two films plus the book(s)?
Not if Musk has anything to say about it.
Donation is paid to developer that solves the issue/feature request on Github (when pull request is merged).

Amount is paid through Stripe connect which is widely used by marketplace platforms.

The main difference from platforms like Patreon is, that we focus on individual who solves the problem and not the owner of open source project. With this we are encouraging community to contribute to open source and receive rewards(paid donations) in return.

Our long term vision is, that open source projects will be more secure and sustainable.
maybe part of the issue is that all the vendors working on it usually have time limits for ingesting data into their backends (like timestamps must be no more than -18/+2h from submission time) so they don't really care about it.
Do you know if any of the storyboarding or concept art was ever published?
> Is there any difference between taking a 1000 year exposure and taking a photo every day for 1000 years and laying them ontop of eachother?

There is a difference between taking a photo every day for 1000 years, what you end up with is, say, a 365,000 second exposure. This is an actual 1000 year exposure.

The algorithm where you take 60 1/60th second exposures over the course of a second and then stitch them together is popular. There are many mobile apps that do this and try to use edge detection / "AI" to make them line up, so you can take handheld long exposure shots. (Spectre is an iOS app, but I'm sure there are others.) You can also do it yourself with a tripod and photoshop. The results are good, and it lets you take long exposures when you are constrained by having too much light and no ND filter / tiny aperture on your lens / etc.

> Wouldn't it produce a solid white image after a single day?

In general, reciprocity holds in photography. A 1 second exposure at f/8 is the same as a 2 second exposure at f/16 given the same sensor. (Films have a technical limitation called "reciprocity failure" for long exposures. Silver halide requires TWO photons to hit each atom, and the statistics of that aren't linear. This means that film exposures depend both on the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity; a properly exposed long exposure on film will often be longer than what the math dictates. The box that your film comes in will often give you a number to multiply your calculated exposure by.)

So what they need is exceedingly low ISO film. A picture of a sunny scene would generally be exposed at f/16 and 1/<the ISO of the film>. A pinhole lens can't open that wide, they're more like f/180. That is "7 stops" less light than f/16, so would need a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds to capture the same image. Now you can see how insensitive the "film" in this camera is; it needs 31,536,000,000 seconds of exposure. That means it's 3.17e-11 ISO film they have in there. What quantum effects happen to film that insensitive, I don't know. They say it's paint fading, and I don't know what the rate is. It might end up being overexposed. (Film is usually OK being severely overexposed, the opposite of digital. No idea if paint fading behaves the same way as silver halide. Probably!)

One other thing to think about; films often have differing sensitivity to different colors of light. Early film was overly sensitive to UV light, because it contains so much more energy than red light. Modern black and white film is pretty linear over the colors of light, so you end up with a picture that looks right to your eye. Paint does not have this carefully-designed chemistry, and is probably only sensitive to UV light, so that reduces the effective ISO of this camera setup even further. It won't respond to light you can see, only UV light. But, that works well enough to yield a recognizable image. (The problem in photography is that the sky contains too much UV, and you end up with an ugly white contrast-less sky. In this case, I don't think they care.)
I'm far from an expert on such things, but Co-dfns appears to be genuinely cutting edge research that could have utility for many language ecosystems (or do you disagree that this direction of GPU-based compilation holds promise?). If that work has to look like a "mess" to non-APLers in order to get done then so be it.
Should, but there are still edge cases where people use weird edge features of Docker's implementation that don't always work out of the box with Podman (it's a lot better now, though, and most of my compose files are fine either way).
>I'm not sure why exactly cause both are universally praised it seems

because Villeneuve was basically one of the front runners of the "intangible sludge"[1] aesthetic as someone dubbed it. Everything he makes has the same cold, color-drained feel to it (looking at the trailer for the next part, literally), and it's a style that a majority of film and TV makers has bought into now. What stood out about Lynch's version was just how psychedelic it was, which the book was too, and it's completely lost in the new adaption. I'd even go farther than 'sterile', Villeneuve's movies are straight up inhuman. With the exception of Arrival, which I think owes most of its core to Ted Chiang's story, none of the movies Villeneuve has made evoke any kind of connection, between characters or to the audience.

I know several top managers who are in favor of mandatory RTO for those lower ranked than themselves.
I feel like this will eventually kill dedicated sat phones, which are (a) horribly expensive, both for the gear and subscription plans, and (b) still not very reliable.

I feel like if Starlink is able to provide reliable SMS-only service at a reasonable price, it would kill like 95% of dedicated sat phone use cases, which would then make the other 5% economically unviable.
The point was the speed. Slamming on the brakes at 70 to avoid killing a squirrel is unreasonable, according to most people, if the likely outcome is causing a huge pileup. People don’t slam on the brakes on the freeway unless it’s to avoid serious injury or damage.

Even at 50 I’d think that slamming on the brakes could be unreasonable, since it is pretty rare and would be unexpected by other drivers.
TIL: £24,270 is cheap fun.
Maybe a better descriptor would be that peer review is a reputation-based system.

The peers that will review your work likely know about the paper you submitted already, because they work on related work themselves and sat through your conference presentations. Most of them want you to publish your work and will provide a good/non-adversarial review of a paper.

Sometimes though, your paper hits too close to home for them, then they will try not to get it published or will slow walk the review so that their own work can come out before yours or at the same time.

On top of that, you have journal editors who can see everything about the process and can decide to ignore a good/bad review to fit their ideas about the paper itself and to fit the overall vision they have for the journal for the coming publication schedule.
This is exactly my point - the "woke" perspective is that every scholar of that era is to be denounced as a white supremacists, and their work ignored, without any examination of the literature or citing of a single specific example.

I am not saying you're incorrect - for example, the German Anthropologie school (largely centered around the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute from 1927 onwards) was famous for its pseudo-scholarship on racial disparities. However, this is by no means a blanket statement on European scholarship - one notable exception that comes to mind is Max Müller [1], who was famously accused of being anti-Christian for his admiration of Eastern cultures, and was "deeply saddened by the fact that these classifications later came to be expressed in racist terms".

Likewise, there are several German authors whose books sit on my parent's bookshelf that provided objective anthropological history of India (e.g. on the Kuru kingdom and PGW civilization) without editorializing a white supremacist narrative onto it.

Also, the Nazi party only came to prominence in the 1930s, after they had sufficiently terrorized the population to go along with their racial policies, and forced academia to go along with their unscientific ideology - a notoriously similar trend is going on in America today.

Every time this topic comes up I feel compelled to offer my opinion that there is no universal rule when it comes to WFH or RTO. Whether employees are productive when working from home has more to do with how well the company has prepared to operate in that environment rather than any fundamental aspect of the two models. Companies complaining about unproductive staff working from home should focus on improving their processes and management around WFH rather than simply throwing up their hands and trying to force a return to the office.
That's just ignorant. I've been playing Mario Kart for decades and I know how to drive. It's not my fault if other drivers are terrified by my sudden maneuvers.
Rabies then.
One of the massive things which caused a shift was knowing a decent sized group of people that became incredibly financially successful as the result of acquisitions and what this actually did to their personal lives. It really wasn't the all happy fun situation that it is so often portrayed as being.

Then there is the whole have kids<->not have kids axis, and where people fall on that will dramatically influence their priorities with work as well, with the former tending to see it as a way to finance raising their kids and the latter tending to attempt to replace kids with something else in their lives, which can often be work.
As someone who's been fully remote for going on 5 years and is responsible for managing my own fully remote team at this point: It is a challenge, for sure, but I think it's incredibly defeatist to call it a failure. Your team not knowing your larger initiatives and how they contribute to them is an organizational failure, not a work from home failure, and is also fully able to happen in an office too.

We have biweekly meetings where we arrange our goals and strategies, and share what we've been working on. We call each other constantly when we're struggling with a problem, and I have 1 on 1 meetings with everyone at a frequency of their choosing to talk out potential problems, bitch about engineering challenges, or just shoot the shit for a little bit. This is possible to be done and the fact that it's kind of vaguely easier to do it in an office, IMO, is a shitty trade-off to offer for all the costs, both financial and personal, of RTO.
The entire airline industry was nationalized at one time. I wonder how safe things were during this period versus today.
You can lock your w2 history on the data brokers site. The most popular one is The Work Number.
People send pictures to each other with chat apps. Think iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram. All of these will generate downscaled thumbnails. All of these have to deal with non-sRGB images from sources such as Apple devices that use Display P3 by default now. Etc…
If you believe that verbosity has a cost and that only the most complex functions should have the privilege if being verbose, it's easy to see a point.

Here's a Haskell example:

(+) <$> Just 1 <*> Just 2

Versus:

do x <- Just 1
y <- Just 2
Just (x + y)

I would always prefer the first for something of this complexity because the latter example implies something more complex is happening to me because it takes more space.

If I had something more complex, I'd prefer to factor that operation into functions small enough that the first variation makes sense over using the second.

This does trade "beginner+ can read this quickly" for "some beginners can read this".

I'm of the opinion you shouldn't optimize for "some beginners can read this" because of very diminishing returns.

Instead I aim for "beginner+ can read this" or in some cases "intermediate+ can read this".
Current iPhones can sort of do that with existing sat phone networks.

I agree those networks are basically obsolete at this point, especially since there will probably be a second operational LEO network to compete with starlink in the next ten years.
the thing is nobody looks until you trigger their attention...and thats good i think

> Unless Americans want America to look like Argentina. Nationalization has a not a great story almost anywhere.

The airline industry has already been nationalized once before. I don't think it was the end of USA.

"Just look at <X> country" is also a really poor, unintelligent argument to make.
My own personal experiences and I anonymously created a post on Facebook discussing two anonymous local fast food & casual chains on a local FB group noting my experiences. The majority said I was in the wrong and the majority were 44 years and below (so not just the TikTok generation ..gen z). Older then that it skewed something like if are scheduled your shift to serve food you do so until closing time. There could be factors in play like the employees are not paid beyond their shift hours and they are taking the blame for crappy franchise owners.

Also to me it makes sense that this change has occurred and or I and others are experiencing the same thing. If there's a worker shortage band it's hard to retain workers the rule change as an owner so you can keep your business going especially where there's huge demand (jersey mikes for example)for what your selling.
I don't think the "we prefer RTO" crowd is anything more than 10%, but I won't quibble about exact percents.

The problem with the RTO boosters is they aren't happy enough to just RTO themselves. RTO boosters generally start demanding OTHER people return to the office with them. So the problem is RTO boosters demand other people conform to their preference because "the office is dead without my team there" or similar statements.

Hybrid/WFH boosters don't care what OTHER people do. You wanna work from the office, go for it man, I literally could not care less. Work from the moon, your beach house, your moms house, Holiday Inn, Starbucks, or the office.. whatever.

Same here. And it makes perfect sense.

For me personally, being able to move somewhere with a lower cost of living without having a lengthy commute is a huge benefit. Especially in the face of ongoing layoffs.
I don't think I can believe that the majority can't do this without some evidence. But regardless, I'm really curious what makes you think that? What in your opinion would be stopping them, other than maybe just not believing they can or bothering to try (which imo has nothing to do with whether they _can_)?
