I don't think that's a personal attack or an ad hominem. It's just wild for any "news" source to give a fuck about that guy's opinion on the matter. I mean, he basically is just a, any twitter user in this regard (I'd argue indeed, actually a bit worse... but that's personal). Someone is writing anything at any point in time on twitter. Unless it's a mathematical proof or thorough logical argument, you can very much ask: Why the fuck should I care?

Bundle servers provide a centralized "data plane" decoupled from the distributed component (OPA). You don't need to rebuild your policy any time data changes. Just push a new bundle with the data that changed, and OPA will fetch it as configured — either periodically or directly if long polling is configured.

Ask HN: Tracking People Positions in a Room
I was asked by an artist friend whether or how it would be possible to build a technological solution that e.g. returns a list of people in a room and where they roughly are.

The idea is to figure out the distances of said people to certain projected inages and change them accordingly when these distances change.

Now I have some experience with laser baded Rime-of-Flight sensors, but those have too narrow of a field of view and wouldn't be able to cover the whole area (it would be a U shapes space). I had a look at OpenCV and YOLOv8 and bytetracker. That worked okay, but produced many false positives and jitters on my recorder-from-top test footage. Two people standing next to each other were classified as a single elephant, bear, horse all within the span of a single second. I had a look at training my own model, but I won't be able to film the footage at the space at which this should take place.

Is computer vision even the right option? If it is, does anybody know good models for people from top?
> if the goal isnt reached, there will be enough iterations until achievement.

I wish I was as optimistic as you. GPDR was already supposed to be such an improvement. I have no doubt that current Apple's dance won't work. But I don't think any European company will actually benefit from DMA. (I'd say the ones who will really benefit from it are Epic Games and Google, maybe Mozilla a bit)

That being said, I'm very happy the EU implemented the DMA.

Definitely helps.

> Nigel extended ZAP to ZAPATEADOS

My problem is I try to extend the word rather than create new words. So I'd look for zapped, unzapped, zapping, etc. Actually, if I had 'ATEADOS', I would waste my time looking for a 7 letter word ending in S.

Great question! I haven't gotten that far yet. I have Proxmox running on a 12th gen i5 currently, and my other two compute nodes, a 3rd gen i7 laptop and a 7th gen i5, are currently still serving production workloads, so I haven't had a chance to set up a cluster yet. That said, I don't mind limiting features to lowest common denominator for the k3s control plane node, as I don't need gobs of power for it or advanced CPU features, and I imagine that's the pain you might be facing (though I'm new to Proxmox, so who can say?)

That said, I do have a NAS that I can provide both NFS and iSCSI storage to, so I imagine if I run NFS as the backing storage, I shouldn't have to worry about clustered file systems. Each compute does have local storage, but the plan is to provide that via a CSI for workloads that don't need to be highly available or where fault tolerance isn't a concern.
Can you assume that every person is carrying a cellphone, or other similar device? You could use wifi or Bluetooth somehow to track those devices...

Alternatively, could you place sensors on the floor under carpets to measure the weight of human bodies?

Or use opencv or something like it, but use infrared cameras from above. I'm not sure how hats would affect that...
Sure you can bring over the "good parts" of the old plane, but if this design flaw is fixed then it is essentially a new plane. They will no longer be able to pretend it is the same as the old 737s (and that's what got them into trouble).

There is a really famous screenshot in Korea of an old manager telling a new hire to NOT use excel functions and do it by hand (and shortly became a meme because of its absurdity). I’ve also heard similar things had happened in Japan.

> You can't escape personal due diligence and "it was top ranked!" has never been that.

On one hand that's a fair point and I should've known better. OTOH I think it is legit to trust top app store search results to return quality apps, especially if there is a massive disparity between their quality. The scam app has obvious repetitive spam reviews. The developer's website is terrible and the submit button doesn't even work. This is basic quality control on apple's part. If every single app store user needs to manually vet every single app they install to the proper extent there would be a fraction of a fraction of the installs and respectively, a fraction of a fraction of the revenue.

Consider the extent of lawsuits between apple and companies with app store apps - does it not strike you that apple protects that revenue stream? Wouldn't it make sense to give app store users a sense of trust in the top search results?

Unlike a printed dictionary constrained by physical paper, we now have digital publishing where every product, ingredient, additive and health consequence can have their own digital database definition.

Instead of debating abstract semantic categories like "processed" and using random items to support or negate specific claims, we can now aggregate data directly against digital identifiers for physical items.

GroceryDB is a research baby step that illustrates what can be done to augment consumer decision making. The processed-food industry can create their own ICantBelieveItsNotProcessedDB to annotate products and ingredients with the benefits of industrial processing. Over time, food consumers can make local purchasing choices after human review of available data on food chains and health consequences.

I prefer tomato as separator. It is tastier
Thank you. You put it far better than I could. And this man was in the right position to know exactly where they all were.

A Quality Manager's entire job is to investigate and track why everything bad happens, and when they aren't allowed to fix it, who is responsible for the decision to intentionally not fix, and the rationale provided to justify an overrule. Though I've heard in some strange foreign lands (safety critical industries), the Quality Department isn't hamstrung by being worked around by a member of the C-Suite.
Because the 'current' weather isn't, it'll be whatever the last update of your chosen weather station reported. Often people choose a generic station that can be quite far from where they actually are - my default if I allow weather sites to 'guess' tends to be the airport 14 km away and 200m higher than me. A lot of weather can pass me by and still not have gotten to the airport in the 40 minutes since the last update.
The issue isn't that C++'s specification has an issue. The issue is that the same issue resulted in no CVE for any C++ vendor. And most languages tend to have 1 reference de facto implementation whereas C and C++ are quite unique in having 2-4 mainstream ones in regular use (& the C++ frontend is ridiculously complex). Java, Python and C# are the only other mainstream languages with a formal spec and only Python that I know of maybe has alternate frontends (there are multiple runtime implementations for C# and Java but I don't believe the language -> bytecode part is different).

JS is maybe closer on this front but it's also quite old & JS is also a mess & a lot of development has shifted to TS as the language for those reasons & TS only has 1 frontend & no formal spec.
Yeah that's why I'm expecting another change. When they tried banning Epic the EU said no, and Apple was forced to move to this point. I expect/hope that the EU comes back with a further "clarification" on Apple's contention that they can gate this to 1,000,000 downloads.

It is funny to see American companies scream "that's not fair" when faced with a functional government.
They're just orthogonal concerns. There is no ordering between them.

The West still dragging their feet. Very sad.

About two days after Russia invaded Ukraine I made up my mind that the course of action from the west should be A) bomb the nordstream, B) blockade kaliningrad. Took the decision makers about 1 year to get to A, still waiting for B.
I wonder how many people made errors with adding machines. And data entry into apps. My hunch is that mistakes will be made.
Air filtration is a really great idea, but it doesn't help if you want to spend time in your own yard or open a window. Thankfully we haven't yet reached the point where we're all forced to live in hermetically sealed houses with filtered air pumped in, or where we need to wear a hazmat suit outdoors. I'd prefer to clean up the air and avoid excessively or needlessly polluting it further so that we can enjoy it rather than having to living in a bubble.

We can't filter our way out of this problem. If we can build cars better to reduce their harms and there are ways to place particle collectors near streets and houses to reduce the environment impacts of traffic I'm all for it.
Then you trade greater pumping losses (reducing kinetic energy of the car) in exchange for lesser potential energy (gasoline) usage. It's not a free lunch.
Oh Chyrp. I have quite some memories of this. That project is what motivated me to make a PHP version of Jinja which ultimately became Twig. I can't even remember why, I just vividly recall that it was the time where a lot of cool open source development happened on IRC and Chyrp was a pretty clean PHP codebase at the time when PHP wasn't seen as being particularly pretty.

It's nice to see that after all these years, Twig is still around, though obviously been rewritten many times over I'm sure.
I could be mistaken but I believe Python has a formal spec, no?

> because I know they can be relied on even in dangerous situations

Why do you think such people are reliable?

For clarity, I'm not afraid to die. For exactly that reason, I think I'd be an unreliable companion on a dangerous mission. For my companion, I'd want someone who thought they had at at least as much to lose as me. If you want to head off to Mars with Rambo at the controls, that's up to you.

If you want to found a colony that is all scientists and technicians, because you don't think ordinary people "get things done", good luck with your colony. Pumping sewage, helping people in mental distress? Sure, leave it all to technicians; after all, we'll filter them for mentail susceptibility before they leave. We're good at finding nutters before they go nuts, aren't we? Well, no.
Entirely this. It's a huge part of why the portion of the web I'm willing to go to gets smaller and smaller over time.

Good point. I guess plane occupants it is.
I’m pretty sure they grease the rails in some spots, particularly the curvy bits that are often near platforms so it would get stuck to the rails and such. Cars would put out massively more pollution but it’s more free to blow around in the wind.

I had some boxes stored in a storage cage in my apartment car park and after 6 months sitting there, they were all coated in a thick black dust. Since there was no wind or rain to move it around, it just settles and builds up.

> (1) How much more valuable do you think it is to the scam app developer to appear at the top of the search results than for a legitimate wallet developer?

Well, the scammer got CAD $150k out of the reddit guy I linked to and I lost a slightly smaller amount - and we're just two out of who knows how many thousands of app store users that installed this app. I'd say people trust the top 5-10 results quite a lot.

> (2) Do you think a legitimate wallet app will engage in the same black-hat SEO tactics a scam app developer will?

I think all the black-hat SEO in the world should not be able to surpass the obvious value disparity compared to legit apps with hundreds of thousands of installs and hundreds of reviews.

Why would you prefer Pytorch to Tensorflow/Keras?
It's a term used for making a certain type of business unviable. In this case, high quality open models will make closed source models less viable, since the closed source model providers won't be able to charge monopoly prices for their models, but will have to approach the price of cloud GPU time or lose customers to equally capable open models.

Exactly. A few "data points", i.e. unexplained effects, and then Occamm's razor, parsimony, etc.

I really like the parsimony of this paper. If a very small detail of space-time, i.e. stochastic behavior at the Planck scale, results in an emergent effect that explains something on the cosmological scale, that is explaining a lot with a little.

Stochastic might not even mean random or non-deterministic (as I understand - and as the paper suggests, i.e. non-quantum), it could just be chaotic. Which would be very parsimonious.

So many seemingly different effects we observe are the result of very simple things, under stochastic, statistical, entropy, thermodynamic type situations.
Vacation homes are a somewhat different kind of thing. In practice, hotels don't support the same use cases or charge exorbitant rates to do so.
It is much harder to explain to consumers why Apple should get a percentage-based rent (sorry Core Technology Fee that enables Privacy and Security™) if they go to a non-Apple website, download a non-Apple app, to do non-Apple-related things.

Like literally the only participants in that business transaction are the consumer and the company, Apple does not even enter the picture.

It would be like car manufacturers charging you a percentage for going to the grocery store, because they provide a Private and Secure™ transportation platform.

Consumers will soon catch up, and if the EU does not put pressure on Apple about this, they definitely will.
Of course he's not "totally altruistic"; nobody is. Of course he's self-serving; everyone is all the time. Even the most ostensibly selfless acts have a basis in feeling good about selflessness.

But I don't see how your dichotomy makes any sense. There are selfish poor people. There are altruistic poor people. There are selfish wealthy people. And there are altruistic wealthy people (disregarding blanket denials by far left wackos with emotionally derived selective criticisms of capitalism).

Eye-rolling conspiracy theories aside, Bill Gates is absolute proof that someone can be an objectively great businessman and objectively highly altruistic.

Seems to me that the impusles which got Musk to where he is an obsession with extreme risk taking, combined with sufficient education and clarity of vision to sometimes bend extreme odds in his favour. History is littered with examples of wealth incinerated in the pursuit of building cars and rockets and it says a lot that he's been associated with a multitude of ultra-unlikely successes.

Whereas many other billionaires are more directly driven by wealth accumulation, as evidenced by the trappings of extreme wealth which surround them.
It's a roundabout.
Do you mean ads or organic results?

Apple should remove App Store search ads altogether (I'm sure they won't). By definition they won't give you the app you searched for, because the keyword will be bought by a competitor or even a scam.
I’m not sure what the use case is outside of having real time information about the world as a search replacement.

For example, if a major event or discovery happened, the model would know about it once a critical mass of news stories and discussions had been generated online. You’d probably be looking at a few days before the content accumulated to the point where it would affect the model weights, which encode all human knowledge ever digitized, so some single news article in a training set of trillions of tokens is not enough.

If you want a long term memory of user interactions, long context and RAG seems to do the job nicely as a single fact can be pulled out of a context length of millions of tokens.

In many countries, if you're eg. an engineer, and you fuck things up, you can become personally responsible for whatever damages happened due to your negligence. The company has its own responsibilities, but you, as an engineer carry some personal responsibility too.

Same for eg. doctors... yes, hospital can get sued, but if you, a doctor, a person, fucked up, you personally can get sued, get into trouble, lose your licence etc.

Same for truck drivers... drive too fast, kill someone, drive drunk, play flappy bird while driving... you personally responsible. Pilots, ship captains too.

etc.

Why the hell are all the public workers exempt from that? Cops, government workers, inspectors, etc.... in the best case possible, taxpayers pay for the damages and that's it. Why?! Someone wanted this subpoeana, his job is to know if s/he can actually request it, s/he signed his/her name on the paper... and then.. nothing?
I have no emotional attachment to any brand, and I suspect that you are projecting your own attachment by saying so. I simply want tools that take orders rather than give them. I want a system that gives me so much freedom that it will let me sudo rm rf myself. That is important to me on a pragmatic level (not an emotional one) because it is useful enough to me that it is non negotiable.

The usual line after this is "then just don't use Apple," and you'll be happy to learn that I don't and probably never will regardless of what changes they make. I am just baffled by the comments in here defending their behavior. Why subject yourself to this? Of all the brands to get attached to, why the one that makes it so obvious that they're milking you for every dollar they can get? If that answer is that you genuinely can't avoid getting malware unless you are physically prevented from doing so preemptively, then so be it, but I don't get it otherwise.
>So it's a noble cause then?
