Optically tracked WMR controllers do not work yet in Monado. Some people have code to do the optical part of the tracking, but there is a bit of reverse engineering left to synchronize the IMUs and control the LED brightness to enable sensor fusion.

Hand tracking however does work.

They already have it pretty well defined on the ads side. If you run an ad and it’s about “issues of national importance” or social issues of any kind (non-profit, education, politics, public health etc) then the ads require additional review.
I happen to have this exact need come up recently. I have a few Bash scripts that I run once in a while. They evolve each time I run them, because often I will discover some missing things, or improve them a bit as I use them. They also fail a lot, due to the experimental nature.

Now the problem is that every time they fail, I need to restart it. But not from the beginning, but where it failed. So I comment out everything before the failure and rerun.

It would be nice to use durable execution for this.
well yes. i agree re corba, j2ee etc. but i think there were a lot of very nice technologies around xml that enabled automatic discovery, interop, validation etc. and we have ditched them all because there was also a lot of unnecessarily complex baggage and tooling that came with the ecosystem around them.

i even thought SOAP was quite nice if you used the message oriented flavour instead of RPC flavour. REST was imo better and won out, but then nobody really does REST today and we seem to keep on re-inventing the wheel. am watching the htmx discourse with interest.
Imagine the electrical demand on the grid during a cold snap if everyone switched to heat pumps with resistive heating as a backup. At the time of largest demand, the largest electrical appliance in each home would be reduced to a fraction of its normal efficiency. And all the homes in the region would be experiencing that same thing at the same time.

Electric resistive heating is not a suitable backup. If adopted at scale, it would tend to amplify demand spikes when the grid is at its most vulnerable.
Speculating on the journalistic quality of a far-left magazine on HN: Taboo

Speculating on the journalistic quality of a far-right magazine on HN: "due diligence".

It's important to understand the standpoint of the magazine. If they're far-anything chances are most of the reporting is garbage. So what they ruled in their favor? It doesn't mean the journalistic integrity is worth actually wasting clock cycles heating your CPU.

funny comment on forum run by a company that specifically funds startups
It wasn't "artifically" cheap nor was the market "distorted". It was merely the physical reality prior to the innovation of LNG.

It would only be fair to say it was artifically cheap, say, if the Australian government was imposing tariffs or subsidising production. I don't think it was doing that, and as it was, the producers were sufficiently incentivised by the market to produce and sell gas domestically.
Einstein: How the greatest scientist hid from Nazis in a Norfolk hut
I'm not going to summarize the article for you, but I'll tell you a story that actually relates more to the cruelty of crypto than the article does.

A friend of mine was sort of a big deal for a moment in the adult NFT space. It never made sense to me, but she's a smart person and was able to grok the complexity of it all. She delved deeply into the nature of money, of the blockchain, and of the numerous platforms that were trying to pull it together into a coherent yet decentralized system. Not only did she publish her own content, she also gave talks at conferences, hosted online communities, supported fellow adult creators, and so on.

My friend had grown up poor, had been an addict as a teenager, didn't go to college, was a single mom of two kids, lived in a small city in a depressed part of the US, and had really never been successful or felt confident in herself. People in that situation tend to get stuck in a 'poverty mentality': they feel they'll never make it out from the heavy system that seems constantly rigged against them. As an adult content creator, my friend was regularly banned or 'unbanked' because of what she produced (which was pretty mild, comparatively). Like many poor people, saving money was incredibly difficult, and it never felt like it was her fault. It was always a grind and a hustle. She'd make some money, then have some situation that would cause a personal financial crash: her car would break down, a utility bill would be unexpectedly high, a check would bounce, etc.

For her, the promises of crypto, and decentralization in general, were very alluring, and gave her a sense of optimism and control. Imagine feeling so financially powerless for your entire life (she was in her 30s at this point), and then discovering a whole different model of how money could work -- and in a way that she (in theory) could be in control of her own finances. And without the influence of The System's banks, regulators, landlords, etc., without the constant extraction of fees and cuts that the middlemen take.

Of course, the NFT market crashed, along with the hyped-up dreams, and her finances... again. She still stumbles along with an infinite well of creativity and gumption, but I think you could understand why the word 'cruel' might apply.

Cuts are hard, but focus on nutrition (lots of protein) and heavy weight lower volume. The lower volume because on a cut you just don't have the energy to go crazy. The heavy weight keeps the body wanting to hang on to the muscle. But, unless steroids are involved, no one is getting stronger/bigger while on a cut.
Luckily, you can make more plants from a single plant. Which makes me wonder about the commercial viability here, as plant people tend to be quite promiscuous when it comes to sharing cuttings...

Hamburg. The previous tenants left a mess, the landlord put in a new kitchen for us, new fences around the boundary, new back patio tiles. Ventilation is a problem as extractor fans need replacing and I’ve replaced a bunch of electric switches and sockets, but no fun.

Classmates with income only from the job centre are unable to find a place to live, although that’s hardly better anywhere. In London the rents are astronomical and competitive but the cycle of finding, viewing, renting and moving is still running fine. In Hamburg people can’t even find apartments for rent.
This whole thread is people who don’t own a house or heat pump screaming they are right and people who do own a house just shrugging because they’ve experienced reality.
I think this is a take that gets missed a lot.

Reportedly, they can only make 1 million of them this year. Apple has close to a billion customers. It only has to be useful for 0.1% of them at this stage.

It’s certainly good enough for that.
Does that still hold if you have no idea what's running on the device? Or does that just help to narrow down the blocks of samples to test to a small enough section that you can brute force the remainder?
> A huge portion of the ‘no vehicles in the park’ questions are already answered by existing US aviation laws, for example.

Which evolved by arguing about rules, because landowners had the reasonable and probably correct expectation that their property rights extended upwards to infinity.

> Another huge swatch of the questions would have been answered if the rule was ‘no motor vehicles in the park’.

It's trivial that changing the rule to make it narrower changes the outcome. But then people won't agree about whether the change should be made. How annoying a vehicle is isn't determined by its method of propulsion.
Miami? I was impressed with Miami when I visited. Lots of high rise residential housing, sane political governance, nice downtown, and pretty walkable.
Personally I've had great difficulty getting rid of Silverfishes. Despite plugging all crevices with diatomaceous sand, making sure indoor temperature does not exceed 18°C, removing any specimen on sight, I still encounter one every now and then just chilling on the wall or floor. They've eaten my underfloor isolation (the floor sags at those spots now), but other than that they're harmless - I can't imagine the horror if they snuck into my bed and bit me in my sleep. I would seriously consider throwing everything away and starting anew.
In Poland quitting a job without breaking the law after being employed for more than 3 years is a relatively complicated 3-to-4-month-long process.
My day job combines assembly and XSL (GPU dev work can be weird). I have a soft spot for XSL; but, at this point, the combination of Python 3's performance story (concurrency, threading, multiprocessing), ElementTree, and itertools... I just don't see it anymore. Especially since any new hire has Python experience due to the current ML summer. I've been porting all my XSL to Python, and I couldn't be happier.

I hate this line with a burning passion. We can and should do better, but comparisons to slavery just show how completely ignorant many people are of the horrors of slavery at every stage of history.

There's no comparison between the plight of an Amazon worker who loses a job unjustly and the millions of people who were (and still are!) treated as literal chattel to be bought, sold, separated from family, mutilated, raped and killed at a whim.

Do we just call all of statistics "AI" now? I fail to see how or why applying basic machine learning techniques for data analysis is "artificial intelligence".

This idea that intellection is nothing more than pattern matching is silly and needs to die. Conceptual understanding entails more than just pattern matching.
Good joke. Everyone laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
I know many old people at amazon who apparently decided they never needed to try in life. They found a role they were comfortable enough in, their joints creak going up stairs, they cant fit into tight spaces, and they refuse to take on any level of responsibility or ownership of anything. If you dont like the work, quit, but ill tell you right now that these people only pretend to care about themselves.

As the youngest person on my team, I work every day to give my people every kind of assistance, resources, and encouragment that they could need to succeed past the more physical role they work now. I can only spoonfeed them though, I cant make them swallow a promotion. Some people dont want to live into old age, thats all I can call it.

As to the interviewee, did you take pictures? Because you dont deny it, and you know that you are jepordizing the livelihoods of over a million of my coworkers in doing so.
If some [news] platform invented a way of accepting microtransactions to view each article (instead of subscribing to the entire website, perhaps only to ever view a single article...), I would happily pay.

Bitcoin would be too expensive/slow to process on-the-fly article pageviews, so perhaps some other altcoin could be utilized (browser plugin?) to allow each IP to view for a set duration [1 hour?].

Seems like a way to monetize a service like archive.is &c, and form partnerships with news organizations [instead of ongoing cat-and-mouse hostilities].

>Anytime there is an opportunity to score inexpensive, relevant gear, they do it.

Up into the 1980's things were done a bit differently than they are now in industrial research when it comes to equipment.

For energy, well-funded places like Exxon and Shell would store and accumulate used equipment in surplus warehouses when they recommissioned laboratories or replaced individual gear with the latest & greatest. There it would age for 5 to 10 years on average before being tagged for discard.

The material was traditionally being held as a resource as in previous decades, when it was expected that principal investigators would look first in the vast storehouse for useful items before requisitioning & purchasing new equipment for their labs. But nobody was doing that any more, energy had skyrocketed in price and oil companies had plenty of money so they had only been buying new equipment for years.

These were big warehouses, but eventually they would fill up and stay full, and they needed to make room for more on a regular basis so things were auctioned off.

Cashthedayofthesaleasiswhereisnowarrantiesofany kind.

I ended up with a very small (carefully selected) fraction of what was passing through those warehouses, and it was still a nice multiple of the tonnage that any one PhD had at their disposal during an average career. A lot of them don't want to touch the equipment anyway, they make the interns do it. So it's not often the most scientifically advanced one in the lab leveraging their hands-on experience, and conversely seldom the most capable hands-on operator having their abilities leveraged most scientifically.

I collaborated with some of their people who would visit my lab at the time, plus non-research customers and there was nothing to be ashamed of using their second-hand equipment which still had inventory stickers from the original owners. I was constantly validating equal or superior performance to their own in-house work.

They would never think of using their own surplus equipment or even going down to the warehouse to see how much overwhelming tonnage there actually was.

It just wasn't done.
Exactly. If the choices are Amazon warehouse or nothing, amazon doesn’t have to pay all that well. Just better than nothing.
Shame they can't just retransmit an internet radio station they receive over satellite.
I assume you mean main() and not main.go.

main() is the only place where you can't return an error. In order to keep as much of the code as idiomatic as possible you just call something like run() where you can do so.

In addition there is the testing aspect. You can't invoke main() from your tests.

Books on Machine Learning Recommended by Eric Siegel
yeah man I took many semesters of courses on this exact thing, and then felt it personally over the course of several acquisitions and layoffs. I know. Anyone who’s worked in journalism knows. The profession has always been at war with whatever provides the professional’s livelihood. Right now the powerful are winning that war in a way we haven’t seen since the turn of the last century, and the consequences of that aren’t going to be good.

The headline is implying that each individual is being tracked as if for performance reasons, but its a bit different. And is it really that different than the data that companies already keep on individual messaging? The only thing really different from what I can see is that they now have a tool to try and understand the vast amounts of data vs. combing through message logs more manually.
> What is your take on the market share between PX4 and Ardupilot

Both of them use mavlink and mavlink sucks. Mavlink is probably the worst protocol I've seen used outside of a hobby environment.

In my experience, Ardupilot is more of a hobby autopilot. That doesn't make it bad, but it does make it less useful to industry and prosumers.
Think logically for one more second. Very similar logic applies for health insurance/cost of college/rent, because those are “unavoidable” in some ways if you want to live (with dignity, because homeless people are still alive I guess).

The only reason health insurance/college/rent costs near infinite dollars rather than actual infinite dollars is because price hikes work best when they are hiked slowly every year instead of all at once. Health insurers/bloated college admins/landlords would (rationally) love to have infinite dollars, as they have a stranglehold on a necessary resource, except that’s probably a quick path to the guillotines coming out.

That is true for all other programming languages.
I'd say for it to be practical, you'd need to know the rough time window (within seconds) that the device is doing cryptography within. For example, if it's got an encrypted bootloader, you can reliably expect it to start decrypting stuff shortly after power on.

Representatives are a function of the electorate. If you want better representation, not only must people run, but the electorate must turn over (old ideas and their voters dying out, new voters and their ideas aging in). 1.8M voters over the age of 55 die every year, 4 million voters turn 18. Worker rights support increases as cohort age declines (and skews progressive, naturally).

Certainly, a long term fix that will take decades. Near term, gotta organize, which can be done today. And workers need help today.
About 20 years ago, I worked on a server application that used mmap for its database. At startup, it read all the pages into memory, so all data was "hot", ready to go. It also built its in-memory indexes at the same time.

It worked incredibly well, handling 1000's of simultaneous clients. This was the main enterprise application responsible for 100's of millions in revenue for a large organization. It wasn't a general purpose solution, though. The system also fed more standard relational databases for reporting purposes, using a custom change data capture process.

Your second paragraph reminds of Aristotle's counter to Plato in one instance.

The debate was about whether media (poetry, plays) should be allowed. Plato thought, no, because poetry and other media burden the audience with emotions that have no value in practical life.

Aristotle countered that the poem has a "payoff" which relieves these emotions generated by reading the poem, so that the audience feels less emotionally burdened by the time it ends.

I particularly like R. G. Collingwood's historical commentary on their debate in The Principles of Art (published 1938), where he talks about our addiction to entertainment and being trapped in a vicious cycle ("one more episode").
A couple if months before the pandemic lockdown I lost my dad. Then, the lockdown came. I got hit hard emotionally but tried to look fine. I thought I was fine, too. Family told me I was super competitive for no reason and tried to win even in simple board games. I felt there was rifts between me and my own family. I thought it would help see a therapist. During one of the session, I told her that I thought I was funny and made people around me laugh. She emphasized and made me understand the difference between being funny and being sarcastic. One is genuinely healthy while the other show deeper mental health issue. It struck me pretty hard but open my eyes to see that I had a real problem.

I said that those sessions help me a lot, both in family and at work now.
You know I've been thinking about this leave thing for over an hour now - it's got me super curious for some reason. I think there is a class thing here as well? I never ever heard anyone say that, take holiday, take time, take off, but take leave... it would sound very posh and jarring to hear someone say that, the only time I can think of was a friend who boarded in England and he took annual leave from boarding school (that's what originally made me think it's an English thing) - Fact is however, I have no idea what I'm talking about and could be writing fan fiction here. Maybe I've found my PhD, ha.

Yeah, but it's not like those comments are making a mistake about how the tech works because they're looking to learn something today. Posting an axe-grinding comment that shows a clear misunderstanding of the technology on a technical forum is an unforced and pretty indefensible error.
Instead of artificially boosting adoption, why not just price gas and electricity to match the negative externalities, and then people will just naturally choose the most efficient option. If heat pumps are cheaper, people will use them
The article/researcher by no means said "It isn't a problem" as you claimed they did.

You said they said:

> > This isn't a problem because it's a small fraction "extrapolated over the whole fossil fuel industry."

That is NOT "literally directly" from the quote:

> "However, the researcher said that this seemingly small difference could be a big deal when extrapolated over the whole fossil fuel industry."

What you said changed the meaning.
