Show HN: Optimalnightvision.com, MILPs for optimizing night vision systems
Because night vision intensifier tubes are produced with highly variable qualities, they are binned and sold in discrete grade batches. This wastes money and degrades overall system performance. With two mixed-integer linear programs (one for grouping tubes into systems, and another for assigning systems to customers), OptimalNightVision is able to greatly improve end-product quality and reduce costs.

OptimalNightVision is the only (publicly available) inventory optimization platform for night vision intensifier tubes.

Tech: Django, Pyomo for formulation, GLPK for solving.

Feedback and questions are very welcome :)

Do you have any evidence beyond anecdata for this assertion? My understanding is the "great resignation" was people upping their salary requirements, basically the willingness to break your body and soul for pennies is significantly lessened. In other words, minimum wage labor became more scarce and/or just more expensive. Are you willing to work for half of your current pay? If you were, would you work less hard?

For the knowledge that we do have, per the person being fired, they were a diligent worker. Seemingly to have done pretty well after a short ramp-up period even. This is why the firing is an even bigger kick in the nuts, she worked hard, was praised for that hard work by her manager, and then HR comes in and says she was not doing well at all. I would turn this around a bit, perhaps the older generation feels entitled that they can treat people like this.
Oh really you used an ehrlich reagent? I really doubt that:

A. you actually had those types of hallucinations if it was LSD

B. you actually tested your tab

This is because that kind of subjective effect is just not what LSD does. Full stop. It is possible that you have some underlying schizophrenic tendencies that were triggered by LSD though.
Tesla Gets a $94B Reality Check as EV Winter Sets In
Kinda like how every train derailment was evidence of a failed society a few months ago and now nobody cares again.
For those curious, without any nefarious or illegal intent, here is a botanical fun fact: the tree species acacia confusa is native to Australia and produces agriculturally relevant amounts of bufotenine and DMT. This can be a problem since these chemicals are typically expressed in the root bark, which can be exposed to abuse by the elements. In particular, since these compounds are water-soluble and easily leech out of root bark into water (or any suitable polar solvent), this might pose an ecological concern for animals living near these trees.

Thankfully, enterprising botanical entrepreneurs are doing their best to remediate the impact of acacia confusa on the environment, by gathering loose pieces of the root bark, powdering it, and selling the powder online. It makes a quite beautiful red/purple dye. Other interesting material properties include its use as a natural soap, and there appears to be some evidence for its utility as a wound healing agent.

Unfortunately, hooligans on the internet seem to be acquiring this incredible dye for the purpose of drug manufacture. Please do not be like these hooligans. Leave the root bark powder of acacia confusa, commonly abbreviated to ACRB, to those of us using it as a dye.

Even more upsetting is the ritual (ab)use of ACRB or other DMT-containing plants in combination with one of my other favorite dyes: refined harmaline, which is a beautiful yellow under normal light and flouresces brilliantly when exposed to black light. There are some positively in-the-paint ne'er-do-wells that will consume two of these dyes, ACRB (or similar pigment) and refined harmalines, within very quick succession. Usually they will then vomit, which serves them right!
Yep - certainly lessons learned through painful experiences.

Supply chain management is incredibly challenging and it's interesting to see one school of thought moving away to vertical integration as an alternative solution and another doing just as well with suppliers (Airbus, Apple, ASML, etc).

Looking to XML schema of pacs.008.001.07 that I found here: https://github.com/yudhik/example-iso-20022/blob/master/src/...

.

According to SWIFT, the account is defined by a combination of bank identifier and account identifier. That is, account identifiers are supposed to be unique only within the bank. (Not sure about this part.)

There are many ways to identify an account, IBAN is one of them. Other methods require you to specify a "schema" (one of predefined codes 1-4 characters long), an "issuer" (string up to 35 chars), and "id" (string up to 34 chars).

I suppose banks know the values that make sense for their customers, and otherwise just forward the information to other banks.

IBAN is an alphanumeric string, where the first two characters are country code, and the meaning of the rest is country-specific. BIC is encoded in IBAN, so the information provided is redundant (in the payment you specify both the bank and the account, but the account also specifies the bank).

.

SEPA is a subset of SWIFT, with extra rules imposed. The currency is EUR, and the only allowed account identifier is IBAN.

That means, SEPA requires IBAN, but you can also use IBAN outside of SEPA as one of many possible ways of identifying the account. For example, if I pay from EU to USA, I am using my IBAN account in a non-SEPA payment.
Same here for me. 787 has the best flying customer experience. After that, the rest of the top 10 are airbuses

I believe J doesn't have any optimizations specifically for the problem of large temporary arrays (not to say that such can't exist, but I don't think anyone's written such yet). With multiple temporary operations, each making a temporary array larger than cache, it could in fact end up slower than mediocre imperative scalar code.
Several women have told me they thought Lady Jessica was a strong female character in Dune pt 1 after I complained that she was more abject/emotional than in the book. It felt like we had watched a different movie, but it sounds like I'm just wrong.
It's difficult to imagine any meaningful consequences for any of these massive corporations. Their brass rotates in and out of the same regulatory agencies meant to be overseeing them. Conflict of interest, as a concept, is a joke in these spaces: these people all know each other and work together extremely closely. Better jobs in industry get you better jobs in regulation get you better jobs in industry and round and round they go, practically waving as they pass in the hallways.
Weird. Here in Europe the prices are the same everywhere in the same country and they don't really do coupons.

They also have the excellent "menu4you" meal here in Spain that gets you a double cheeseburger (basically a big Mac) medium meal for 4,50€. Previously it was even 4€.

They are really trying to promote their app with free goodies though. I tried to install it but it refused to work because I didn't install it through the play store. I don't use a Google account so I use aurora store to install apps. I do have the basic Google play services installed for eg push messages, i just don't use a Google account to minimise tracking.

For some reason the McDonald's app is the single one I have tried that complains about it. Not sure what their issue is with that.

I use McDonald's if I need a known quality food quick. Not great quality but consistent. And I actually like their breakfast muffins once in a while.
Haha. This is an illustration of human bias.

You can't find a counter point on your own so instead of building a conclusion based off of evidence you call out to others to provide you with evidence so you can support your desired conclusion.
I assure you nobody is assuming that.

Especially the person complaining about the dishonesty, that wants an easier way to track the dishonest numbers.
So your definition seems to be that it's part of your body if it was built via instructions in your inherited DNA? So tattoos are not part of your body, nor are the gut bacteria you were mostly born with (or their ancestors) and without which you would quickly die. Phlegm that you spit on the street is still part of your body? Your tears? What about clonal colonies and parthenogenesis? Do identical twins have the same body?

The point is, your "of course" is based on some "obvious" definition that always gets fuzzy at the edges. Someone else's "of course" is based on some equally valid and obvious definition that gets fuzzy in different ways at different edges. Don't act like everyone who doesn't think exactly like you is just pointlessly navel gazing. The pointlessness is in trying to have a clear definition at all, which saying "of course" implicitly assumes.

> and framing a Jeep and a human's liver as if the only possible point of difference between them is whether or not you can "feel" them is strange.

Good thing that's nowhere near what I said. I said "I can feel it" is obviously not a good criterion.
Hah, really appreciate your encouragement. The previous post where I shared the GH repo got an enormous acknowledgement so maybe it just averaged out? :)

What does NASA build?
Forget the books for a moment. The film is a brainless action film.

Most of the criticisms I made are film criticisms that could be levied against any bad or middling movie.

- The film is a vacuum for intricacy and coherence.

- The characters are one-dimensional, unchanging, and don't matter.

- The stakes might be huge, but they carry no emotional weight. Like most superhero films these days.

These are deficiencies in storytelling.

If we contrast Lynch's Dune with Villeneuve's, we might find similar analogies in contrasting "Jurassic Park" versus "Jurassic World", Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" versus Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", or "Independence Day" versus whatever the hell "Independence Day 2" was.

Each of these latter films promised more, but they turned out to be empty and soulless. More box checking than composition, more visual spectacle than substance. The same is true of Villeneuve's Dune as a film.

I don't need a film adaptation to be faithful. I just need it to be a good movie. I'd be totally fine if the film made a wild departure from its source material, so long as it used that liberty to deliver something impressive. That would honestly mean more to me than a fully "by the books" rendition.

Villeneuve's Dune was just lazy.
Yes, that's what the "delivery fee" line item is supposed to pay for.
Risk assessments.

A younger person will have higher confidence in their new skills and take higher risks, completely forgetting how underpowered their car actually is. They will perform that risky overtake of a long vehicle at night.

An older person will be more cautious due to experience of life in general and perhaps more responsibilities (mortgage, family, career).

I got my license when I was 17 and still love the freedom of driving over 20yrs later. Learning "advanced" techniques with a manual car has added to the fun too - heel-toe braking; shifting blips; double de-clutching; etc - all make the drive more engaging (and smoother).

An EV on a motorway is my idea of hell!
My mom thought it was a distraction -- driving around as a social activity was a thing. Also, supporting a car meant getting a part time job, which took time and energy away from studying.

It may depend on whether having a car is a means to an end, or an end unto itself. For instance, the college bound kids may have had aspirations other than having a car.
Wood is not either. The inside walls here are 100mm wood(CLT) with gypsum on both sides and the signal drop through 1 wall is big. 2 walls almost kill the signal. I don't have any wifi reception outside the house at all (65m² is floor area) using 1 UI Wifi 6 LR on each floor (with the U6Pro it was even worse).
Fine. They're trying to kill you, but they also want to frame it as a suicide. Does that cover all bases?

From my own experience talking with friends and coworkers, the $3 announcement simply has everyone reevaluating the actual value of their Prime subscription, with all coming to the same conclusion that no, its not worth it.

Everyone is aware Amazon is raking in cash, so $3 is such a stingy move it is glaring. To top, they rarely even hit their delivery targets anymore (sure some select products may ship 1 or 2-day, but most won't (and depending on where you live))
The Japanese Yen is just very weak right now for a number of reasons.
Window cracking isn't uncommon. Cockpit windows are typically made of layers of acrylic glass sandwiched together, with heating elements in the middle. They are exposed to incredible forces, the forward airflow on the outside, positive pressure from the inside, cold on the outside and warmer on the inside, then there's the internal temp when the anti icing elements are on. And despite all of this, they're so strong that a crack can be discovered on one side and the aircraft can still be safely landed.
in many non-English articles, it's very often "American Scientists" instead of just "scientists", for the same reasons you stated.

At this point, "American scientists discovered that ..." is a meme in some countries.
I have so little respect for journalists. Even the highbrow news sources people love to share links to here are incredibly weasely. They all sound like Orwell's strawmen.

If you ever want to verify this for yourself, watch a video capture of a big news story. I did it few times and I was shocked at the tenuous grip on reality the corresponding articles had.

PS: where can us non-journalist peasants get access to data free from the priestly interpretations of jouranlists? EG the recent epstein list, or the leaked no fly list from a few years back. Searching this is always just pages of pages of journospam.

My guess is that you are around 25-30? That's when most people tend to become much more aware of the limited time we have. It's great that you are doing something to improve your time management! In terms of the trade off mentioned, you will likely be happiest picking a few things to get decently good at (while accepting that you won't master any of them). On the other hand, some people choose to prioritize one thing to get really good at and this will lead to the most impact. But may not leave you happiest...
von Braun liked Kiritimati [1], and who can blame him?

But the logistics seem daunting. You'd have to build up something comparable to KSC (staff: ~13k [2]) almost from scratch (there is a runway at Aeon Field and a JAXA tracking station on the other side of the island), in a place with a native population of only a few thousand, and bring in every rocket and payload halfway across the Pacific.

Well, yes. But what's worrying is that so many people who have seen a university from inside and even have advanced degrees do not know this. Every time some one comes up with grants for reproducing published stuff the silly idea finds enthusiastic support. How come? People should know about the practice of science but don't.

It means anyone considering working there has to think about how directly their work connects to one of the big strategic goals and assess the odds that they’ll be next. That certainly doesn’t mean nobody should take a job there but it adds to the absurdity of someone suggesting Google and Boeing are in a hiring competition given how different those jobs are.
Nothing I said contradicts anything. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

I didn't say replace new and delete with jemalloc, I said replace your allocator with jemalloc, which would mean new and delete end up calling that instead. This is a common and easy use of a different malloc implementation and is something I and many other people have done. jemalloc is also not the only allocator replacement and not the only one to focus on concurrency (tcmalloc and ptmalloc). There are also allocators like windows' built in thread local heaps. Some default malloc implementations now have some concurrency built in so they don't usually block.

What this comes down to is that new and delete don't have to block (in the common execution path) because the underlying allocator doesn't have to. This is a well worn problem and I have seen first hand parallel programs go from only using a single core while executing due to the default allocator blocking on every call to all cores being used with a new allocator. It is a problem created by too much allocation but the different implementations do deliver on their promise.

This is a separate issue from "lock free data structures" using memory allocation on every transaction which is a poor way to make any data structure and pushes a lot of the concurrency issues on to the memory allocator.

Hope that helps and that you learned something.
I'm working on things. Just, things I subconsciously devalue because they're not new/hard/valuable enough. So when people ask me what I work on I often answer 'nothing much' back even though those same people would find what I'm actually doing to be as hard as most jobs - which is not that much but enough. Enough is what I should answer, and maybe you too.

Everything will work itself out, these years will turn out to have a hidden purpose, or you'll eventually die and it won't matter either way. If we avoid any major moral failures till the end then we're ahead of the curve, friend. We did our part.

> Non tech folk use stuff like [messengers] to send things

Yes, and tech folks too, but what about if you're not already connected friends? You don't want to invite your entire audience at a conference to send them slides.

You either need to already have a website and say "click on News and find the entry for today", have them type over some long URL with perfect accuracy, or use a link shortener to the same effect. It always requires having hosting, unless there exists file sharing services. That's the problem these things solve.

Also mind that there are size limits in most messengers on the order of a few hundred megabytes. You don't run into them that often, but whatcha gonna do when you do? A dedicated file sharing service that supports in the gigabytes range solves that situation as well.
If the latter books ever get made, which I highly doubt at this point, casting Momoa as one of the touchstone characters was not a bad idea, at least audience wise. Budget wise, might be a different story.

If memory serves he shows up again in book 3, not 2. They are thinner books. Could they pull off 1 movie for Children and Messiah?

I already was defining my infrastructure with docker-compose.yml files, and found out that podman-compose has a poorly documented feature that generates systemd units. It doesn't use the now-deprecated podman feature, it writes the unit files itself, and I find the process much smoother than the podman feature anyway.

To enable the feature:

$ podman-compose systemd -a create-unit

To register a systemd unit:

$ podman-compose systemd -a register
$ systemctl --user enable --now "podman-compose@$PROJECT_NAME"

Updating looks like this:

$ podman-compose pull
$ systemctl --user restart "podman-compose@$PROJECT_NAME"

($PROJECT_NAME is usually the directory name.)

Source code for the feature is here if you care to inspect it:

https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/blob/f6dbce3618...

Admittedly, I'm still on podman 4.3.1, but I don't see any reason why this would stop working in later versions of podman.
The value of a paper depends on much it influences the thinking of other scientists multiplied by the number of scientists it influences.

Therefore the recent super conductivity papers may well end up being very important, if only to stir up the community to action.
The parts I found the most insufferable about Villeneuve's Dune are two pieces of dialogue towards the end: At one point, Chalamet says "You good?" like an American teenager, and Jessica has some other similar exclamation I can't remember that feels completely out of place, like "This is crazy!". No idea how those made it into the movie.
