There is absolutely no way I'm unleashing a regex on my system that's written by an AI. One of the biggest problems with RegEx isn't composing them, it's being able to read and understand them; they're a perfect example of something you shouldn't generate like this, because they're inscrutable and hard to check. I have difficulty reading RegEx when I'm the one who wrote it. Hell, I have a hard time keep complex RegEx straight in my head /while/ I write it.

> "The sort of artist who is big enough to use live nation also wants a pay day for going on tour. They want the door, they want to sell their merch, they want a cut of the 20$ beer you buy."

This is true, of course, but the rest of your claims are pretty speculative. Big bands were touring long before the TicketMaster monopoly became a thing.

A competitive marketplace benefits both suppliers (ie: the bands) as well as consumers. Why wouldn't a band want to play several ticketing companies off against each other to see who can offer them the best deal? It's also not in a band's best interest to rip off their own fans: they want to keep tickets cheap enough to make sure that the stadiums get filled.

In Europe there is a much more competitive market in the ticketing/events space, where LiveNation/Ticketmaster competes against multiple big players like Eventim, AXS, See Tickets, as well as innumerable secondary and resale-market ticketing companies like Viagogo/Stubhub, DICE, Ticketswap, etc. And there's certainly no shortage of big bands on tour.
Opportunity cost. free time has value.
Ticket master sucks, but it's gonna be worse.

Doing onsales is pretty hard, your basically making every one stand in line all be it virtual.

No one wants to deal with that. The current all in price is just going to become the "minimum bid" put down more money and possibly get better seats. When ever one has bids in, then close them and run an algorithm to distribute seats and start charging cards. The tech is cheaper, you cut out scalpers for the most part and every one makes more money.

Ticketing can get worse and it probably will.

That's only true in a handful of states. Most allow you to bring a lawyer.

Small claims courts will generally have simpler and friendlier procedures so that even if a lawyer is allowed you will be fine without one in most cases.

And upsides, e.g. the person who avoided selling their child by selling their own kidney.

Is that an overall terrible situation? Yes, but I'd like to think any parent would make the same choice.

Anyway, to respond to this and your up-thread (which I believe you added in an edit after I replied to that comment):

> The proposal is expanding

> Permitting Americans to
> sell their kidneys?

No, let's narrowly stick to Afghanistan, since that's the example you brought up. It avoids getting into the muddy waters of introducing multiple variables.

Afghans are selling their kidneys right now, for the equivalent of around 1/2 to 1 year of local median salary. They're selling them to other Afghanis, or Pakistanis etc. willing to travel there.

Now, let's say an American dying of kidney failure was allowed to fly over that same Afghani to the US as a paid kidney donor for hire.

They'd still be out of a kidney, but now they might have gotten 20-40 years worth of the median salary in Afghanistan as a reward.

Don't you think that would be better for everyone involved?

I'll take that as a "no" to the question about whether you're able to support your up-thread "when the remaining kidney fails" claim with any numbers.

As usually invoked the Melter Liden Bipbop Sandal is less a story people are actually interested in than a conceptual container for non-specific aspersions (hence it may as well be referred to as I just did). The most instructive thing about it is how readily certain people take enthusiastically to guilt by association with pretty vague allegations of ostensible corruption when they can't get anything closer (especially ironic when paired with denial about the absolutely overwhelming tidal wave of obvious and directly connected corruption for another figure). Maybe someday a story about someone who's never held public office and is barely a public figure will be actually be worthy of news when a court case or two conclude.

But on a more concrete level, the idea that NPR ignored the specific topic invoked here is wrong, not just considering that there's no there there, but in absolute terms. I have heard NPR segments discussing it and seen posts about it. I don't expect you to take my word for it, here's some front page results from a search:

https://www.npr.org/2024/02/15/1231884999/fbi-informant-char...

And to be incredibly clear, ¶ 4 of the Budapest Memorandum committed the United States "to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine...if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used" [1].

Assuming we sever the last "or" such that the clause activates if "Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression," the commitment was to seek UNSC action to provide assistance. America sought that. And it's directly providing assistance. America never guaranteed the security of Ukraine.

> Woke people believe math is racist.

Could you give us an example? I know about racism issues associated with math education, but I've never heard that 'mathematics is racist'.

What does that have to do with denying or rejecting science? Also, sometimes people get fired for legitimate reasons; the fact that they were fired is not a sign of problems.

I'm sure you know that there are powerful tides of misinformation and disinformation on the Internet - about climate change and vaccines, for example. Lots of repetition doesn't make something true. In fact, science is founded on the opposite: One person's verifiable facts are believed before the entire world's repetition.

Don't worry. It's great to have other projects in this field, exploring different routes and you created a great piece of software. The best thing, it's all open source after all :)

Reading your response is almost as you've been at our coffee chats. Quite some of your ideas are also either already implemented in iceoryx2 or on our todo list. It seems we just put our focus on different things. Here and there you also added the cherry on top. This motivates us to improve on some areas we neglected the last years. We can learn from each other and improve our projects thanks to the beauty of open source.

Keep up the good work
> If orange man wins my children won't go die for Ukraine? This is a bad thing?

We were never sending American troops to Ukraine. What has happened is the chances of American troops having to go somewhere else in the world, or being directly attacked overseas, has gone way up.

What else would you call reflexively blaming China rather than acknowledging there is a problem? Even if China deliberately created and spread Covid, we still needed domestic leadership, not "it's just like the flu". I was still giving Trump the benefit of the doubt figuring he was going to come around to addressing reality by at least June, but nope. He essentially had been handed a shoe-in second term on a silver platter for being a crisis time President, but threw it away for what we can only guess.
Also make donation opt-out instead of opt-in because most people don't care either way and with opt-out those who actually care have to take measures and not the other way around. That's how it works here in my and in many other European countries.
Are you seriously implying that Biden will institute the draft?
That's not exactly true. For one, all the local affiliates have their own budgets, their own expenses, revenues and staff. Up until this year, NPR was specifically prohibited from collecting donations from listeners. If you had gone to npr.org and clicked "donate" it would force you to donate to your local affiliate. Affiliates do not give NPR a cut of their donations. Instead they pay (on a sliding scale I think) for the rights to content produced by NPR. If you look at the sources of revenue for any given affiliate, it will probably be mostly donation from listeners. So taken as a whole, public radio is very much paid for by listeners.
Check out devenv.sh from the Cachix people, it allows you to list stuff like pip for any language, including services / postgresql extensions:

services.postgres = {
enable = true;

initialDatabases = [{ name = "mydb"; }];
extensions = extensions: [
extensions.postgis
extensions.timescaledb
];
settings.shared_preload_libraries = "timescaledb";
initialScript = "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb;";
};
}
NPR is the voice of white progressives, even if more of the reporters are minorities. NPR’s audience is disproportionately white.

It’s part of the reason polls show some minority voters shifting towards Trump. They don’t see their opinions and beliefs reflected in white progressivism, even with the surface emphasis on DEI.

IME a lot of millenials and younger that are "progressive" are too left for what can be considered "acceptable content" on corporate platforms. Tiktok has pretty good content in this area, but I think a lot of it boils down to the biases of liberal broadcast media owners not keeping up with the kind of content people want to hear. Anything further left than liberalism is considered a "national security issue" so you don't get any interesting viewpoints. Even breadtube is pretty milk toast. I'll just stick to my hip hop and punk jams tyvm.
I've been thinking about this recently and articles that make cost comparisons of that sort tend to compare only the cost of ingredients and assume you have the equipment to cook it, the skills to cook it and that your time is worth zero.

I don't know how to come up with good metrics for measuring that but I think currently all such articles are seriously bad because most don't even list their set of implicit assumptions concerning the costs that they are bothering to measure.
There is no one true liberal narrative. There are somewhere in the range of 1 to 3 true conservative narratives.

Politics in the US is represented with two parties: the right, and the tent. No one person can represent everyone in the tent. Anyone can represent the right.
Bias and accuracy are separate axes. Mother Jones is explicitly liberal media, but their reporting is highly factual. Fox News is right-wing and has settled multiple cases over defamation for spreading false stories.

In pretty much any FPS that allows using the mouse to turn (which was already the case even in Wolf3D), you can turn as fast as you can move the mouse. When playing competitively, and with experienced players in general, it is common to set mouse sensitivity rather high, allowing one to perform very fast - but still highly precise! - turns, either to follow the target, or to switch rapidly from one target to another, or to scan the area etc. Really good players can do what's known as a "180 quickscope" like that, which is exactly what it says on the tin - a very rapid 180 degree turn & aim to shoot someone you know is behind you. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEC4AE6KbxY

If you don't have experience doing this yourself, watching such a player over the shoulder can be very nausea-inducing. I think to some extent this is innate, but I suspect for those who don't have a strongly pronounced response to begin with, playing such games (and doing those rapid turns yourself) desensitizes you over time. And I think that also transfers to VR to some extent; I've been playing first-person shooters with WASD+mouse for ~30 years now, and I had no nausea whatsoever the first time I tried VR.
I think that any country that wants to consider legalizing the sale of body parts from living people should probably illustrate how they have effectively eliminated human trafficking for other forms of exploitation first.

Generally speaking, it is not a moral act to reward people for harming themselves, or allowing themselves to be harmed. Most society overlook this in the name of sport, or in the name of freedom (e.g. drugs, alcohol, driving, and other massively harmful, but shockingly profitable ventures), but the balance of respecting freedom while preventing exploitation is generally a complete shit show as evidenced by the rampant human trafficking, and the ongoing exploitation of addiction that the illicit drug trade represents.

The moral arguments also set aside the fact that the overall quality of "ethically sold" organs are likely to be lower due to the overall impact that a life of poverty on individual health has, and that selling an organ is most likely going to be an option of last resort for most people.

Personally profiting from an act of self harm doesn't stop it being an act of predation or exploitation.

I wasn't really intending to compare the countries. Just to point out that something which was being attributed to America (a decrease in poverty) was actually happening because of China.

Does Sturgeon's Law Apply to Datasets?
In various fields, we often encounter the principle of Sturgeon's Law, which suggests that "90% of everything is crud."

Curious about HN thoughts on that.

That's correct - CockroachDB's license changed in 2019, from Apache 2.0 to a permissive version of the BSL: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/oss-relicensing-cockroach...

"We’re adopting an extremely permissive version of the Business Source License (BSL). CockroachDB users can scale CockroachDB to any number of nodes. They can use CockroachDB or embed it in their applications (whether they ship those applications to customers or run them as a service). They can even run it as a service internally. The one and only thing that you cannot do is offer a commercial version of CockroachDB as a service without buying a license."
My two cents is that Berliner was just dead wrong and his opinion based on some really spurious reasoning. He pretty badly mischaracterized several key stories and then cherry-picked some bits and pieces of articles where guests said things he didn't like.

Do you have links to the userchrome tweaks that you use? I hear that mentioned a lot as a way to make sideberry better. IMO, the default for sideberry isn’t good. The few tweaks that weren’t outdated made things a bit better, but nothing really hit the mark. Like I said above, very willing to give suggestions a try.

edit: my main worry with relying on userchrome tweaks is things falling out-of-date or abandoned. I saw this a lot in my testing.
Conservatives are easier to herd. They may argue with what the Republican party is doing at any given moment, but ultimately they will fall in line.

Centralized messaging is simply a better fit for the conservative worldview than it is for those on the liberal/left-leaning side of the spectrum. (Which in reality occupies a bigger tent than the GOP ever pitched.)
The detail about end-effector frame is pretty critical as doing this BC with joint angles would not be tractable. You can tell there was a big shift from the RL approaches trying to do very generalizing algorithms to more recent works that are heavily focused on this arms/manipulators because end-effector control enables more flashy results.

Another limiting factor is that data collection is a big problem: not only will you never be sure you've collected enough data, they're collecting data of a human trying to do this work through a janky teleoperation rig. The behavior they're trying to clone is of a human working poorly, which isn't a great source of data! Furthermore limiting the data collection to (typically) 10Hz means that the scene will always have to be quasi-static, and I'm not sure these huge models will speed up enough to actually understand velocity as a 'sufficient statistic' of the underlying dynamics.

Ultimately, it's been frustrating to see so much money dumped into the recent humanoid push using teleop / BC. It's going to hamper the folks actually pursing first-principles thinking.

In case this isn't obvious: this article celebrates an Axis victory. Apparently it was "heroic", and a movie was made about how heroic it was.
