Strong disagree that this is all non-issue/obvious. There are plenty of cases where it's better to not communicate rather than try and communicate in a way that is likely to be misinterpreted. Regarding your "just make the LEDs dimmable", this just adds more opportunities for confusion; humans will have no idea how the distance-brightness relationship is calibrated, it will appear different depending on the lighting conditions, etc. Just like consider how many gauges you have ever seen that communicate a continuous variable based on the brightness of the display. (Very few or none).

No one is throwing up their hands. Human-autonomous-vehicle communication is a whole research field. Waymo has every incentive here to both make the vehicles safer and to make pedestrians feel safer (holding actual safety fixed).

The ultimate test is not your first gut reaction as to whether they have done "enough", but rather it's whether the vehicles are safer than human-driven ones, and the evidence so far strongly points to that being the case.

IMHO your marketing (incl. the title of this HN post) should more heavily emphasize that this has a native mobile app available in App Stores, that talks to this self-hosted server. There are many other private photo-hosting systems, but most of them are web-only — very few have a good, comfortable native mobile UI that you'd actually want to use!

See also: the directory https://github.com/relink2013/Awesome-Self-hosting-for-the-w..., that collects "self-hostable services with native mobile app clients." This project should be on there! (Right now, the only entries in the Photos category are two [closed-source!] Synology offerings, and one other app that's not E2E-encrypted. You're better than these — go claim your crown.)

It's not that remarkable at all? The proof requires the definition and triangle inequality, that's all?

Given Ax=λx, take i for which |xᵢ| is largest. Look at the i'th equation: sum aᵢⱼxⱼ = λxᵢ, move the aᵢᵢxᵢ term to the rhs, take absolute values, divide by |xᵢ|, apply triangle inequality, and you have |aᵢᵢ - λ| ≤ sum |aᵢⱼ| over j≠i. So for every eigenvalue you can find such a disc.

That's by column, for row use Aᵀ.

Captain's Log: Since we came to orbit Venuuil III to host talks between the Klingons and the Venullians, there has been a increased incidence of unpredictable fluctuations of plasmas in the warp drive containment field.

Geordi reports that at the current growth factor we can maintain containment for 22 hours, 47 minutes, 17 seconds. To support the peace talks, we will remain here as long as possible.

Captain's Log: Intriguingly, the fluctuations are beginning to reveal an embedded temporal distortion that exhibits language like patterns. Data has begun working on an interface between the containment field and his positronic neural net.
French Senate approves bill making abortion a constitutional right
In Europe apartments are pretty much air tight. Any source of air in there are window and door "leaks". If you don't have enough of them then pressure of the ventilation can be high enough to suck the air through the p-traps in your plumbing. So PVC windows have built-in "leaks" in form of slightly opening them so that seals on them are no longer sealed. Or even separate holes with filters and regulated (non-airtight) barriers that allow adjustable (but never down to zero) air intake.

Because of that I don't consider any window that can't be made air-tight to be a failed window because otherwise I'd have to consider some of them to never be working by design because they have separate holes in them exactly to prevent air-tightness.

All of this is necessary because in general PVC windows can be way more air-tight than wood windows and stay air-tight way longer. Which is harmful to homes with ventilation that doesn't have dedicated air intake.
Ask HN: What are some fun websites?
Ask HN: How are submissions algorithmically generated on HN?
I've noticed by observing HN submission feeds that some clear
clustering of submissions occurs as topics with a common theme appear
in the same time window or cascade from earlier posts. It's even
possible to trace that over days.

Now, this seems entirely natural for a community "exploring themes
together" and vibing and riffing off interesting ideas.

But occasionally the serendipity seems bit too much, as if some broad
level topics seem a bit forced. That leads me to the suspicion that
the submissions process is not as organic as some may believe.

It would be nice to have more transparency around that.

One major usage of services meshes that I’ve come across is for the transparent L7 ALB. gRPC, which is now very common, uses long-running connections to multiplex messages. This breaks load-balancing because new gRPC calls, within a single connection, will not be distributed automatically to new endpoints. There is the option of DNS polling, but DNS caching can interfere. So, the L7 service mesh proxy is used to load balance the gRPC calls without modification of services.

> Is it possible to deduce the shape of a drum from the sounds it makes?

That's a known problem with a (very nice) negative answer https://www.ams.org/publicoutreach/feature-column/fcarc-1997...

IIUC this article is about the problem in the other direction, i.e. from the shape (a disk!) to the frecuencies of the sound (eigenvalues).It's not about an exact calculation, but about an aproximation of them.

> The conjecture bears on the estimation of the frequencies of a round drum or, in mathematical terms, the eigenvalues of a disk.

From the research paper:

> The celebrated Pólya’s conjecture (1954) in spectral geometry states that the eigenvalue counting functions of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacian on a bounded Euclidean domain can be estimated from above and below, respectively, by the leading term of Weyl’s asymptotics.

<guessing> The Weyl's asymtotics is probably a good estimation of the very high frecuencies/eigenvalues, and the conjeture is probabbly that you can use the estimation as upper or lower bounds instead of just an aproximation.<guessing> [Sorry, not my area and I have not enough time to read the paper.]

Hey HN!

After years of iOS Development, I discovered that in order to realize any of my brilliant (or so I thought) app ideas, I often had to start with writing the same code over and over again.

The complete authentication flow, push notifications, premium subscriptions... even little things like the onboarding screen. It drove me nuts, that before I could focus on the core features of my app, I had to spend days on the tedious setup process.

So I created SwiftyLaunch, a macOS Tool that generates iOS boilerplate code that can help you ship your brilliant app ideas in days, instead of weeks.

It takes less than a minute to set up your next iOS Xcode Project with following components generated on the fly:
DatabaseKit, AuthKit, InAppPurchaseKit, AnalyticsKit, NotifKit, BrandUIKit

You can learn more about these components on our website! Cheers!

I would believe this line of argument much more if they didn't keep hiring ad sales people and if advertising wasn't a growing part of their services revenue.
The provided points don't seem to be reasons for generally avoiding the subshell loop pattern.

Reasons of 1) performance, 2) readability, and 3) security are provided as points against the pattern, and the post itself acknowledges that the pattern is a great way to call external programs.

I'd think that the fact that one is using shell to begin with would almost certainly mean that one is using the subshell loop pattern for calling external programs, which is the use case that your post approves of. In this case, subshells taking the piped input as stdin allows the easy passing of data streamed over a file-descriptor, probably one of the most trivially performant ways of data movement, and the pattern is composable, certainly easier to remember, modify, and to extend than the provided xargs alternative, without potential problems such as exceeding max argument length. Having independent subshells also allows for non-interference between separate loops when run in parallel, offering something resembling a proper closure. In these respects, subshell loops provide benefits rather than pitfalls in performance and readability. Certainly read has some quirks that one needs to be aware of, but aren't much of an issue when operating on inputs of a known shape, which is likely the case if one is about to provide them as arguments to another command.

Regarding "security", the need to quote applies to anything in shell, and has nothing specifically to do with the pattern.
> those rain screens have a million staple holes in them right?

Rain screens are mostly holes (empty space). That's how they allow drying of the exterior wall assembly.

> Unless you seal every fastener hole with some sealant that will last 100 years, which I'm pretty sure would be a magical product, I sincerely doubt a modern house will be standing as long as mine is.

Standing for 100 years isn't the sole metric of success of a house's envelope. There are many others: how much did it leak? how much energy did it consume to stay comfortable? how good was the air quality? what was the cost to maintain it? All of these have to be balanced and building science provides frameworks to achieve that.

Using modern materials while adhering to building science results in very long lasting buildings, far longer than most homes built in the last 50 years.
Very interesting, thanks for showing me. Messing with the code, it fails if you access mut1 before the mutation of mut2 because of the mutable borrow.

I did know but forget that all variables are dropped at the end of a scope, not earlier. Borrows can however last for shorter times and as this example illustrates. They can be borrowed multiple times, as long as they are returned before the parent uses their borrow.
Thats a feature not a bug.
Those are measurements, not parameters. Just like the exact baryonic matter distribution is not a parameter of GR. You have an initial matter distribution, which is a random sample of a probability distribution (that is a part of the model) and then it starts clumping together over time.

also, in this case (as with all 'debris'), one of the vehicles is dead, so you can't do active ranging on it, just passive radar. Much less accurate. Active rangefinding is good to ~ meter accuracy at geosynch, passive radar is nowhere near that close.
The two factors for how good your orbit fit are how good your range data is, and how frequently you get samples. To get accurate orbits, you need to look often, and there are lots of objects up there - way more than there are antennas on the ground keeping track of them.

Oregon got trapped in the same pit that swallowed mental health care in the US after Reagan. For years mental health professionals had been advocating for closing the big, unhealthy hospitals and switching to a community-based group home model.

Reagan never saw a budget cut he didn't like (except for defense), so he jumped at the chance to cut funding for mental hospitals. He skipped over the part about opening up community-based group homes, and provided no money for it. Result: an explosion of homelessness and untreated mental health conditions.

Decriminalizing drugs should be paired with treatment and support, but that costs money and people still have a the old "drug addiction is a moral failing and people should just say no" mindset. Without sufficient money to treat drug addiction and support addicts while they are treated, decriminalization simply fails.

In 2022, almost 1,000 people in the state died from opiate overdoses. But research has so far showed no correlation between the rise in overdoses and decriminalization.

The war on drugs has been proven to be a failure for decades over and over again. Using the criminal justice system to address what is fundamentally a public health problem is both expensive and ineffective. It's remarkable how wedded lawmakers are to this ideology despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Not only that, but Measure 110 wasn't even fully rolled out in the first place. It's clear that this is move is ideological.

unlike the other examples, the category of 'supercomputer' has shifted over time. initially, i was thinking of a cray-1, which is the machine that popularized the term 'supercomputer' https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=supercomputer&.... it was only about 160 megaflops, which is ten million times 960 calculations per minute. that wouldn't normally be described as 'dozens'; it's about an order of magnitude high. so i should have done my calculations a bit more carefully

up to the late 90s, when the term 'supercomputer' had largely fallen out of use, top-end supers were still in the low-digit gigaflops: https://www.hpcwire.com/1997/04/04/tera-mta-computer-posts-b...

you are of course correct that current machines are many orders of magnitude faster than that, and even a single video card is about three orders of magnitude faster
