The IR may be in a very narrow band. The visible wavelengths have different colors because there are a range of wavelengths that correspond to different cones in our eyes that roughly match red:green:blue sensors. If you shift the IR frequency up into the visible range, you would just get a luminance image (like grayscale) centered on one visible wavelength like red.

False color imaging sometimes applies colors to different luminance levels or sometimes it takes multiple images at different wavelengths and assigns RGB values to each of those wavelengths. The results are informative but require some editorial / aesthetic decisions to produce the best results.
I found the docs pretty minimal as well. Ironic since they specifically called out Google for shallow docs in the description.
The thing about Classic is that it doesn’t work well if one is trying to race to cap and raid readiness. Leveling and gearing up is as much “the real game” as endgame raiding is. As such, it works a lot better when played at a relaxed pace with less of a focus on the destination, as the majority of players did back in 2004-2010.

I think the difference being that the niche customer based with Kagi is what will keep the lights on going forward. People share these feelings because they love the product and want to see it continue. Instead of taking it as hostile, it really comes from a place of love and wanting to see success. Very little to do with how you see it.
It's not really bugs vs design issues.

It's more changeable vs unchangeable. Part of that is technical cost, but in my experience most is perceived risk, which is largely a function of understanding and team (leader) confidence.

The scariest things are existential: telling people the system they believe in has fatal flaws introduces a gap that can only be filled with a lot of confidence, which is typically lacking when growing fast or with new systems.

The main remedy is to be sure you have an actual view and understanding of the system, and address things from that perspective.

Otherwise, bugs are just make-work.

If the housing market was interstate commerce, then it could not be regulated by state or local governments, as that power is reserved to the Congress.
let's go further .. domain name means visibility and costs money.. so whoever builds and pays for "cipherleaks dot com" intends to make a business out of it..

Let's imagine a worst case scenario, where thousands of highly skilled hours are put into building common infrastructure ("barn raising") among capable people with implied social promises but not cash, and then a second wave ("cattle ranchers") comes in and starts collecting money for CVEs and pushing out any claims for compensation by authors..

this scenario is playing out in the EU (CRA laws) or de-facto in the USA (VC startups) right now.. with the monetization of CVEs , but foot-dragging and long speeches for compensation of OSS engineering. make sense?

Yeah, I've always thought these kinds of things were more of a LARP gizmo than any kind of actual "prepping." The priorities are all wrong. IMHO, if society collapses, the things you need will drastically change from your needs now. You don't need an offline Wikipedia or Youtube, even if you use them all the time today, you need something a lot more compact and practical.

Show HN: A searchable public database of cheaters in video games
Hey all I've been working on a website called GamingHerd that has spawned from dealing with so many cheaters in Valve's Counter-Strike 2.

Watch this video if you're interested into the different scales of cheats that can be used, pretty much undetectable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox1mBxrVulk&ab_channel=HaiX

Currently, Valve does not seem to have a viable solution for dealing with cheaters nor are they transparent about their intentions (I'm sure for good reason). I can only imagine the complexities they have to deal with, and at the same time there is a potential negative monetary impact. Valve makes boat loads of $$ from Counter-Strike through skins for weapons and models. It is its own economy. Banning people, even though they are cheaters, is money lost.

Furthermore, some of the solutions to deal with cheaters are to play on 3rd party services (i.e. FACEIT) that require you to install an "anti-cheat" that gives kernel level access and is owned by some questionable folks (I won't get into the details of that you can do your own research).

That brings us to GamingHerd. For now, my idea is to be Google for PC video game cheaters, smurfs (read this about smurfs https://www.idnow.io/glossary/smurfing/#:~:text=What%20is%20....), racists, throwers, etc. People you do not want to play video games with. Let me tell you, there are a lot, unfortunately.

Currently, I am working to grow this into a community and build a matchmaking service around it. The matchmaking would obviously utilize the Toxic Gaming DB (TGDB) to never allow them to use the service. I'll also have community-driven moderation, you can read a bit more about that https://slash-lathe-f55.notion.site/GamingHerd-moderation-ov.... In the perfect world this is a community of trusted gamers that you want to play video games with.

Let me know what you all think. Look forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
Chris
FWIW, Claude Opus (the paid model) gets the correct answer, and explains it well:

Based on the information provided, we cannot definitively determine whether cherries are better than bananas. The statements given only provide relative comparisons between apples and bananas, and apples and cherries, but do not directly compare cherries and bananas.

Here's what we know:
1. Apples are better than bananas.
2. Cherries are worse than apples.

However, these statements do not necessarily imply a transitive relation. In other words, just because A is better than B, and C is worse than A, it doesn't always mean that C is worse than B.

For example, if we assign numerical values to represent the quality of each fruit (higher numbers indicate better quality), we could have a scenario like this:

- Apples: 8
- Bananas: 6
- Cherries: 7

In this case, apples (8) are better than bananas (6), and cherries (7) are worse than apples (8), but cherries (7) are still better than bananas (6).

Therefore, more information would be needed to determine the relative quality of cherries compared to bananas.
Completely agree with all this, though my take away is that there's a big vicious cycle of adblockers and paywalls where they keep getting worse.

> The government argues that Americans are not themselves being targeted and thus the wiretaps are legal.

> But in a major victory for the Biden administration, House members voted down an amendment earlier in the day that would’ve imposed new warrant requirements on federal agencies accessing Americans’ 702 data.

Yet another reason it's unfortunate that our choices this year are going to be the same awful ones as 2020.

Too many people act like politics is a team sport. They're proud to vote for this guy's charisma/skin color or against that guy's impulsive nonsense, and then look past the very real problems of the guy they voted for.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.

I hope I'm not on the wrong side of this one. I don't know what the appropriate amount of "political" is on a clearly political post.

I'm not here to argue for/against any particular candidate, but I would like to see a world where politics are approached with curiosity about solving individual issues and politicians are judged on their abilities to solve them, not which letter comes in the parenthesis after their names. The present cultishness is truly scary.

Is this as advertised, or slightly exaggerated? I had a look at the CodeGemma and Gemma and Cerule models on HuggingFace and the downloads are between 2 to 5 GB in size. FWICT this will still have a significant compute requirement which may not make it feasible to run on any smartphone.
Interesting in the article they discuss how the introduction of the horse created a broader dependency on bison and more vulnerable by its availability. Ultimately though, smallpox is what did the most damage across N. America. Haida Gwaii for example went from something like 40,000 people to 400.
Where we do agree is that things can be regulated out of production. That's clearly what's happened in Hawaii, intentionally, to limit the number of people in Hawaii. That's the entire source of the permitting costs, high labor costs, etc. etc. etc.

The prices were intentionally set high for new housing by regulation. That can be changed.

Further, it's slightly more tricky to regulate things into production, but we do it all the time. Take for example, roads, or water treatment, or any other public service. That's entirely the product of regulation, not of the free market, and would not happen otherwise.

Further, we can regulate non-publicly owned entities into production, and we do so frequently. For example financial products like a 30-year mortgage are entirely a creation of regulation, and would not exist without hearty regulation backing them. We can do similar things for construction loans, for training in the trades, for social housing, for pretty much anything.

Housing is a very solvable problem. However we actively choose not to solve it, and in fact we actively choose to make it more expensive in order to benefit those who already have housing, and to benefit those who speculate on it.

So if I have these views of housing, why am I not opposed to AirBNB? Because AirBNB is actually meeting some real need from real people, it's not pure speculation, or pure rent-seeking, like the regulatory regime that institutes housing austerity. There's real human gain from AirBNB, it's not merely an economic gain.

And I'm not entirely in favor of AirBNB either, it's just that it really really grates me that this is being falsely sold as a solution to the housing crisis. It is not. It's barely related, but related in a way that shows the true underlying problem: supply versus demand for housing.

The tl;dr: If your toothpaste contains Flouride, it needs to stay on your teeth for 20-30 minutes in order to work properly. If you don't want to do that—or you don't have a toothpaste containing Flouride—you can followup the brushing with a Flouride-containing mouthwash, which you do not wash out.

This is what I do. I use a mouthwash with Flouride, and don't rinse my mouth for ~30 minutes after using it.

This reminds me of a change that my dentist's office made a few years ago: Apparently dental insurance (at least my plan) has added coverage for a Flouride treatment with every office visit, so they have me do a Flouride rinse—probably with a higher-concentration rinse—at the end of each visit.
No one will know. You're completely missing the point. People aren't going to say "DISCLAIMER THIS WAS WRITTEN BY AI". They'll just claim it as theirs. My entire point is that it's now convincing enough that you'll have no idea. People are already using it.

Audiences as a whole don't give a shit about the making of the music, at least as far as liking the music goes. "I like this song, but there is no story behind it, so I don't like it now" is just not a thing. People like to dance and sing along.

You can just make up some bullshit anyway, which is usually the case. Stop putting musicians on a pedestal. You've fallen into the trap of image. It's mostly fake. They are just people.
mediocre how dare you
Fine, that's great! But let's not pretend that this will solve the housing crisis, which is the claim in the headline, and the claim that people use to justify the decision to ban AirBNB. They have every right to set their regulatory regime, but I also have a right to point out that their actions will not do what they are being represented to do.

Newspapers obviously sold their paper to the paper kiosks, who then sold it to customers. Hence a business relationship between the two types of entities.

In the Google News case, no news sites sells their news to Google News. There is no business relation between Google News or any de jure contact whatsoever between the two. It's different. I am not saying its good or bad, or that this gives the right to the news sites for news sites to demand payments from Google.

But I think its a weird scenario that doesn't occur in other markets. And to understand the pathologies of the online news business, we need to think about this particular no-relations fact.
Yeah this, there really isn't a strong coherent option for tiling window managers just yet. We'll probably see one soon with cosmic.

> My question for you is, what is the correct way to use an LLM? How can you accept non trivial user input without the risk of jailbreak?

So I'm kind of speaking from the spectator peanut-gallery here, as I'm something of an LLM-skeptic, but one scenario I can imagine is where the model helps the user format their own not-so-structured information, where there aren't any (important) secrets anywhere and the input is already user-level/untrusted.

Consider the failure of simple code behind this interaction:

1. "Hi, what's your first name?"

2. "Greetings, my name is Bob."

3. "Okay, Greetings, my name is Bob., next enter your last name."

In contrast, an LLM might a viable way to take the first two lines plus "Tell me just the user's first name", then a more-deterministic system can be responsible for getting final confirmation that "Bob" is correct before it goes into any important records.

A more-ambitious exchange might be:

1. "Hi, what is your legal name?"

2. "My name is Bobby-Joe Von Micklestein. Junior, if it matters."

3. "So your given name is Bobby-Joe and your middle name is Von and your last name is Micklestein, is that correct?"

4. "No, the last name is Von Micklestein, two words."

If the user really wants to get the prompt, it probably won't be anything surprising, and it doesn't create any greater risks than before when it comes to a hostile user trying to elicit bad output [0], assuming programmers don't get lazy and wrongly-trust the new LLM to sanitize things.
That is certainly a big issue, but the concept of people being able to control which OS manages their phone is something we all need.
No they really do push for "limit everyone's compute". The people pushing for "limit everyone's compute except us" are allies of convenience that are gonna be inevitably backstabbed.

At any rate, if you have like two corps with lots of compute, and something goes wrong, you only have to EMP two datacenters.
Yes, these are cool and fun projects, but not something I'd use on a regular basis.

I've bought a few old Chromebooks off of eBay recently (for around $20 USD each), and re-flashed the BIOS so that I could install Debian on them.

The student-oriented Chromebooks are reasonably sturdy, and at that price point, I just don't care if something bad happens to it.
The value proposition in the internet age is too low to demand the price neccessary to support it. This created a race to the bottom in order to keep the lights on. This further degraded the value of the product. This caused people to value it less, and so on.

The end result is reputable news sites became clickbait and eventually people stopped caring.

There is still a market for in depth journalism, and we see a rise in that sort of things. There are plenty of youtube channels doing documentary-like videos on current events. That is journalism.

The journalism that is dying is the stuff concentrating on breaking news. If its shallow its outcompeted by twitter. If its higher quality but still racing to the headline, its outcompeted by wikipedia. The fact is the competitors to breaking news journalism are cheaper and higher quality.

"The Soviet Union is at its greatest risk of invasion in more than half a century following the dramatic June 22nd attack by Germany, and the intelligence community must focus attention and resources on that threat while continuing to stay ahead of the United States."

"Britain is at its greatest risk of naval attack in more than a century following the devastating December 7th attack by Germany, and the intelligence community must focus attention and resources on that threat while continuing to stay ahead of Japan."

"France is at its greatest risk of revolution in more than a century following the tumultuous July 14th attack by the people, and the intelligence community must focus attention and resources on that threat while continuing to stay ahead of Britain."

"Russia is at its greatest risk of internal upheaval in more than a century following the dramatic October 25th attack by the Bolsheviks, and the intelligence community must focus attention and resources on that threat while continuing to stay ahead of Germany."
It's not. OP frequently gets on threads about Ukraine and starts spewing Russian propaganda. I feel really bad for someone living in the West holding such weird political convictions, the cognitive dissonance probably hurts physically.
The tragedy of 9/11 was cited as a failure of the intelligence community as a whole, primary the TLAs, to work together. They know they are responsible, and they know they have to justify their budget in those same terms. The CIA, for one, also meddles in foreign affairs heavily. Presumably, they use active measures to dismantle terror networks. Also, it's not appropriate to view 11/7 as an attack that was hard to predict. At least, the border incursion was an eventuality that they should have been able to repel.
