Yep, I mean, is a bit tricky, like an optical illusion that requires you to focus in the center, but if i focus enough, I can, imagining a whole person with all their details and overlaying it with my POV is quite hard and usually requires way too much focus, but just overlaying the image of a person over the same person in front of you is easy, specially if you are just changing the body and hands and face are already visible, thus not needing change.
Is a bit weird to explain, is not like an allucination in the sense that it literally replaces your normal vision, is like overlaying another vision on top of your vision, it requires focus and you can tell the imaginary overlay is distinct from your actual visual stimuli but like with some optical illusions you can force your brain to just accept it and you see people nude, even if the nude models are not very detailed.
The easiest stuff to overlay are ruler thingies tho, for example to extime distance you imagine a line similar to the letter "I" with a base on top and at the bottom of your reference and then you can copy paste a bunch of times and count them it to measure stuff roughly. That is the most common day to day use for overlay imagination I use, the imagining people nude is not exactly a everyday stuff. When I was a kiddo I used to use this to play with things that are not toys as if they were, for example I could pick up a 2L bottle, overlay the image of a rocket and play with it, same with a lot of other stuff that had somewhat similar shapes to things interesting for a kid, I still can do it, sometimes do in the bathroom while taking a very long shit.

For me this is normal and I tough most people were like that, like... the phrase about imagining people being nude is there for a reason... and kids do play with random stuff as if they were other things, people look at stuff and use it as a reference to visually measure stuff even if it is rough.

I mean, there is not that much difference between imagining inside the black void and outside, you are just moving it, the only thing is that outside it is fighting with your actual visual stimuly for attention so it requires a bit of extra focus or to anchor it to something similar, you know the visual illusion were there are pink spots but when you look at the center a green spot appear and eats all the pink spots until it is blank but the moment you ever so slightly unfocus from the center the pink appear again, it feels like that, the illusion is named "Lilac chaser" for reference, it feels kinda like that in the sense that if you lose focus, the effect disappears but if you focus yo can keep it?

IDK, as I said, I thought this was normal, so it is quite hard to explain? is not like imagining stuff in the black void, there one can easy mount a movie if they want, a crappy movie usually, but its possible, outside not so much, but it is still possible to imagine stuff there, just harder.
They've already created a workaround. Last night it was blocking me, this morning I was fine. It was mitigated within hours.
Why is an adware company allowed to advertise its app with the name of a government organization ("NOAA Weather Radar")? Since they can just sell the app, I assume it's not them writing it for the government on contract.
TIOBE is as reliable as Gartner.
Sadly most people (at least in my country) use Facebook for this.
There is a leap between "X is bad for me" and "X should be banned". Some people make that leap automatically without even realizing it and assume that everybody else makes that leap too. So for instance, if I say "Soda rots teeth" some people will become indignant, "So you want soda banned?? People have a right to drink what they want you tyrant!"

The trouble is that generally people don't make this leap automatically, and simply noting a problem doesn't come with an implied "therefore ban it." Generally the people who do automatically make this leap have authoritarian mindsets, for whom personal preferences and public policy are nigh inseparable. Watch out for these kind of people, they would likely impose their preferences on you if they ever gain power over you, without even thinking about it. The emperor doesn't care for pre-tattered jeans, therefore he bans them for everybody else too; not a good sort of man to have in charge.

Now, the pertinent question is which of these sorts is Peter Thiel? When this self-espoused libertarian says "X is bad for me" does that necessarily imply that it should be banned for everybody else as well? Is there evidence for him behaving in a way that betrays this kind of authoritarian mindset?
I'd say it is even debatable whether Unity is really re-distributing in the sense of the LGPL or merely hosting. Redistribution is something between licensor and licensee, your web hoster or your telecom is not involved.

But I guess that's another thing they don't want to test in court and it's easier to say they don't want it.
The linking of barriers in pair is really just a mental model, not (usually) what happens at the hardware level. In fact in the C++ memory model the synchronizes-with relationship is load and stores, not barriers, which indirectly affect the properties of load and stores around them. That's another reason why I don't really like the memory barrier model and I prefer to think in terms of happens-before dependency graphs.

edit: AFAIK, seq_cst ordering (as opposed to acq_rel) is only relevant when you have more than two threads and you care about things like IRIW. In this case acquires and releases are not enough to capture the full set of constraints, although at the hardware level it is still everything local.

edit2: I guess the missing bit is that beyond the hardware fences you have the hardware cache coherency protocol that makes sure that a total order of operations always exist once load and stores reach the coherence fabric.

Imagine 100% of users using adblocks. How can the site function? Are they charity?

If you get value from the site, there is a premium option, and you will see no ads (plus other features). If you don't have money to pay, or don't want to, you can use it and have some ads. I know they are annoying, but common you expect Youtube to be charity?

It is the official language of the Vatican. That isnt nothing and probably saves latin from formal dead status imho. And lots of military organizations use it for mottos. So someone is out there creating new sentences with it on a semi-regular basis.

Nelua! This is the description from its own repo:

Minimal, efficient, statically-typed and meta-programmable systems programming language heavily inspired by Lua, which compiles to C and native code.

In other words, if you like Lua syntax, you like extending your language's behavior via meta-programming like you do with LISP, but you also want to have C performance, then Nelua is your ultimate choice!

You can mix it with C without breaking a sweat; just have a look at https://nelua.io/overview/ and you will understand what I mean.

I've always wanted to build a digital burial business like this, actually. It feels like a great way to tax late adopters' unwillingness to take on the risk of switching to a newer, better platform. As a late adopter myself of a great many things I feel like I understand the crotchety reluctance well enough to make a good go at it - maybe I'll unlearn my own risk aversion along the way.

That position is Peter Thiel's apparent perspective as judged by somedude895, not a claim being made by somedude895 himself.

Since Peter Thiel is a libertarian, it's quite reasonable to surmise that he believes America is moving in the direction of social democracy. And if he has in mind the shifting political preferences of younger generations of Americans, I personally think it's a reasonable position to take. Public polling shows that more funding and reform for social programs is increasingly popular with younger Americans.
Yes. That and they optimize the pricing to squeeze as much profit from captive users (or those that don't know better). They increased the pricing for Evernote quite aggressively, and reduced the free features if I recall correctly. Selling to Bending Spoons is pretty much giving up and letting the vultures have a bite at the remains.

It's because all these jobs using Fortran are scientific research projects. It is not explicitly asked, but if you are doing high performance computing, chances are you will be using Fortran. Scientific codes live for decades.

For example, I'm using a code that has been started in 1981. It is still very relevant and performant. Of course I wish I could use C++ or even Rust, but the fact is that (high performance) numerical computing is first class citizen in Fortran, which is not the case in C++ or Rust. I wish however that the tooling around Fortran wasn't stuck in the nineties.
If YouTube launched today with ads and blocking adblockers, people wouldn't have the same reaction. Either they'd be fine with it, or they'd stop using it, and a small minority would try to work around it.

But people got used to YouTube first without any sort of ads at all, then a small bit of ads, then a lot of ads. Now another change from what people are used to is introduced, where they try to block adblockers, so of course people will have a reaction.

Not saying it's "ethically OK" or whatever, just trying to reason about why people think like they do. I do understand it somewhat.

Imagine if HN suddenly started having proper ads (not just job ads like today), then the community would also react to it, as we've built our expectations on how it is today.

Not arguing with your experience, but to me it seems you're angry at "hybrid" work, not remote work.

Rust won't solve the ABA problem, no. You'd be in unsafe Rust if you were writing something that could encounter the ABA problem.

You wondered out loud how it was even possible to do that kind of analysis, and that's where my mind went. Evidently people think it's a bad take. That's as deep as it goes.

I run a service which was recently DDOS'd. It came immediately after a request from the police services in India to give them data on a specific user. They claimed it was terrorism related. We explained our policy on that (there is a procedure but it requires lengthy legal formalities in our jurisdiction). Within hours our service was taken down. It lasted about 12 hours. We never received any ransom request. We were left with 3 possibilities:

1. Indian police/government

2. Original user

3. Total coincidence

When it happens you just realize: this should not be possible. This is a game that hugely benefits the most powerful players whether they just don't bother solving the problem or actively play in it.
When you say 'python like' experience, does it support slicing and broadcasting like in Numpy or MATLAB? I'm preparing to learn Fortran as a complete beginner. I'm curious about the ergonomics of the language.
Marketing speak is incredibly annoying and low content.

That’s why chat GPT is to produce marketing copy that is as good or better than the best ad people can do.
Just skip the Youtube website, they've made it clear that don't want pirates on their property.
Disclaimer and identity validation.

Presumably because they want to make it a bit harder for malicious foreign influence operations to run divisive ad campaigns.

Honestly, identity validation should probably be required for _all_ ads, given how many scams you can find there nowadays and how bad actors just show up with the next sockpuppet once caught. Being trigger-happy on requiring identity validation is the next best thing.

Given how clearly it's stated even in the screenshot shown in the article, I wonder if neither the creator nor BoardGameWire can read, or both are just trying to stir up drama (rather than addressing the issue) because it's much better free advertisement, or they tried that but that crucial fact got completely omitted from the article.
Working capital and cash flow - the majority of a board game's expenses are literally just the physical manufacturing of the items, you need to pay all that up front before you have anything to sell, and you need to guess how much you'll sell because you're only doing a single run, not a continuous manufacturing, so you can't easily make more if you run out and if you make too much, you're stuck with worthless inventory.

Preorders make total sense for board games because of these issues, so that you make as much as there is actual demand and get the money up front to fund the manufacturing, and especially for a reprint of a successful ones because then it's not a cat in the bag but customers can reasonably know what they're getting in the end.
I've seen a very good take that it is the ideal renewable fuel for large machinery such as farming or construction equipment. Batteries wouldn't work due to the cost and charging time (when you're using them you need them for long stretches), but weight (and therefore some of the complex/heavy containment). These places (at least in the UK) have their own diesel logistics infrastructure already.
Yes I wonder why some people think a service like YouTube (or any ad-funded service) should be completely free (even ad-free), as if it was a basic human right.

Especially in the case of YouTube, which has a premium version with no ads, there's no reason to complain, really.
not that he manifestly want to remove the right to vote equally to men and women who vote wrong
Also, on monetized channels, it's the content creator who has put that many ads in there. They can choose to not do that, see e.g. Asmongold's channel[0] with zero ads. (To be fair, this option is not available to the smallest non-monetized channels.)

But somehow people are angry at YouTube instead of their beloved content creators.

(I use uBlock to block ads.)

Op here...Thank you for all the visits and feedback. Thanks to them I was able to optimize and test the system. I will be documenting more details about the setup and operation in the future if anyone wants to build something like this or is simply interested. At the moment, like every free project, there is a lack of money to make the system faster and more stable.

I took it to mean "fired", as in "today is your last day of work and you're not getting paid anymore".

"Dismiss" is a fairly common euphemism for "fire", like "let go".
They did the same recently with Filmic [0], of the Filmic Pro iOS Camera app.

I guess this is what the exact opposite of acqui-hire looks like. Acquire only for the app's customers, and their currently ongoing subscriptions, and nothing else.

Does anyone know if they maintain these apps well over time, or they just rot?

Last I checked there were no people being born in Vatican nor had Latin as their first language, citizenship is only given based on the office you hold. It's pretty close to nothing, it's a corporate HQ with a language requirement.

Dead languages aren't those who aren't being spoken or used anymore, it's those that have no native speakers. It's not something that's in any way compatible with programming languages.

A New Approach to Real-Money Games on Google Play
Oddly enough, zip files are a supported playlist format in VLC, so you can just have them open the zip file. I don't recommend it, but it's technically a solution.

Making an actual playlist and having them load that instead would work around your VLC problem and should work in other music players. An .m3u playlist is fairly well supported, and it's really just a list of file names in the order you want them played. Remember to use relative filenames so it works wherever the zip file is extracted.
I wish the sr.ht employees the best of luck with the AMS migration. Luckily git is decentralized enough that I've been able to practically do everything the last few days except that I can't push new releases of software to the canonical upstream repository.
But Photoshop itself is adding generative AI tools, because the simple fact is just typing in a prompt into Midjourney or whatever isn't going to result in a professional quality image. You'll get weird hands, too many arms, etc. So Adobe has the idea that you use generative AI as a starting point after which someone with artistic skills will need to improve it. Just like with any other tool in Photoshop.

As for the "scraping" issue -- that is a boring sideshow that will be decided by lawyers -- is it fair use or not? Your or my opinion on that whether it "should be" is irrelevant. But even if the courts decide that training generative AI on data the trainer doesn't have permission to is illegal, this wouldn't "stop generative AI" as many seem to think. For example, Adobe is training its models only on public domain works and works it has the rights to.

Latin has no first-language speakers, so that makes it a dead language by definition. That's different from being an extinct language, which means that it would have no first- or second-language speakers.

This article is too long and packed with marketing crap to wade through.
I think it was a combination of cost, incompatibility (it typically required airports to fix their runways to accommodate it), and the above-mentioned fact that Airbus' core European market had largely moved towards low-cost PtP. The A380 makes sense only for hub-and-spoke, and/or flights over 4-5h. COVID was the nail in the coffin.
Maybe the matter is still spread smoothly across the whole cosmos, but the observable universe is tiny enough so that it is not completely smooth and some we see some local artifacts, which would have been smoothed out / insignificant if we saw way more of it inside our viewport.

That would still be a valuable find, though.
I expect your comment to be deleted anyway, since it seems to me like an off-topic soap box on a non-issue, but still feel that you should get a reply before that happens.

This seems a bit extreme, does it not?

> maybe Mathematica will turn out to be the FTX, or Tesla auto-pilot, or ..., of mathematical software/languages.

You can install Mathematica at any time. It produces graphical output. You can see for yourself what it does, and what it does not do.

If Wolfram were making claims about a future unreleased version of Mathematica, sure, I would absolutely weigh his ego against those claims. But they are largely irrelevant when it comes to a currently existing and available product. If he were to claim that Mathematica 14 cures cancer, that would deserve eyerolls but it wouldn't tarnish the quality of the software.
