JPEG XL is significantly smaller? All the stuff I've seen has show a slight edge for the same visual quality, but not enough I'd suspect it'd offset hardware decode, although if software doesn't actually do hardware decode, then yeah, the argument falls apart.

I can 100% see JXL being adopted in production tools, where the motivations are different, I was mainly talking about the web adoption perspective for end users (which is the context of Google's supposed war on it, of course).
One of the biggest struggles I have (and others have, judging from Stack Overflow) is how to generically handle accepting types of Box<T>, Rc<T>, T, Pin<T>, &T, &mut T, etc etc.

Of course you can write a function that is generic on <I, T: AsRef<I>> or something, but the moment you introduce function-coloring stuff like async, object safety, etc, things explode.
Because we need advances in material sciences, optics etc to build anything new.

Devices will stay the same until we invent new technologies.

We've certainly progressed semiconductors a lot, but it's still just the same old process for the most part. I think it's areas other than semiconductors that will drive innovation, new optics/displays (foldable, holographic, wide fov ar on a contact), solid state batteries, etc.

Would sure be nice to have properly 3d semiconductors tho. As many transistors as there are across x and y, there should be across z too.

> Spooks aren't actually that good in hiding their works

This is pretty similar to the old argument about why mass surveillance is unlikely to be happening - we're just not that good at keeping secrets. Seems like a pretty safe bet that there's good spooks who are good at hiding their works.

> we know about a lot of cases where people were assassinated (of course, we may also not know about many, but I think we have a good sample). Among those, we have a lot of ways it can be done

Let's not forget about survivorship bias. You only know about the assassinations you know about. You don't know about the assassinations that were successfully kept secret.
Uh, one region? I named 3 continents. One of the countries most affected by SARS was Canada (151 cases, 49 deaths) which is as 1st world and modern as it gets.

Ask HN: Why not more fuse filesystems?
Please someone create a fuse filesystem that exposes k8s, AWS/GCP resources, Kafka topics, etc.

For example, this illustrates what I mean: https://github.com/ozzieba/k8sfs

I don't see the difficulty as finding the problem (schlep blindness) or an idea of the solution. Rather, it's always imagining realistic ways of implementing a solution.

In payments, for example, the problem is never "building the thing". It will always be gaining permission (whatever it means for your application) of hooking into the system. It might require depositing some amount of capital; and it's usually an amount larger than any startup can reasonably get. Most such barriers are there by design.

| Neither my dad nor I knew how writable media like that worked at the time, and I think we both assumed that, assuming they didn't get scratched, they would last forever. Obviously we were wrong.

I am surprised at this, as the CD age highlighted the importance of quality media. At one point you would actually mentally allocate 2-3 cds for any thing you would want to burn to account for frequent issues. Kodak Golds became the bar for quality, I think I still have a bunch of unused ones on a spindle in a box somewhere.

Interestingly enough, I still have a whole lot of burned and unburned CDs, but don't actually have a reader for them these days. It wasn't even something I was aware of, my desktops gave way to laptops, and new ones didn't include an optical media drive, and now I just don't have a cd/dvd reader.
I don't get it. How could the author change the URL on my iPhone, even if it was unlocked?

I think that's just what the cylindrical room is often called when it's used for motorcycles. The paper repeatedly references it, abbreviated "WoD." I don't think there's any death involved. :)
It's been mentioned elsewhere in the comments but espeak-ng has historically prioritized accessibility use cases which is a domain where "quality" doesn't necessarily correlate with "naturalness" (e.g. there is a preference for clarity at high words-per-minute rates of speech where the speech doesn't sound "natural" but is still understandable, for people who have acclimatized to it through daily use, at least :) ).

I interviewed there and can confirm they don't require you to know any OCaml (though I did have some Haskell on my CV - I don't know if that was a factor in hearing back or not). The questions are LC-adjacent but the interview is structured such that each question builds on the previous one.
Are we talking about cases where someone at the company explicitly asked/ordered a kill, or including *wink* "handlings" of people? For example in 2012 the (EU) ECCHR said Nestle was responsible for the 2005 death of Luciano Romero in 2005. What about when in the case of the Banana Massacre you had Chiquita Banana making payments to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, who caused the deaths?

Looking at Nestle's historic stock performance I see no (significant) change around 2005 or 2012.

That's fair, not sure if I had seen any of his movies when I was that age either. Maybe 10 Things I Hate About You. It was a big deal at the time and his death still makes me more sad than any other pop figure that's died in my lifetime, I think. I'm not sure if the death of River Phoenix felt the same way to his fans, but Heath Ledger made such a big impact for the short time he was with us... it's so sad that he didn't get more time to grow because he was one of the best.
So in the 19870s and 1980s people shouldn't have called for divestment from South Africa? Since I think just about all the reasons listed here were equally true then.

Like this Economist link says "This is made less likely by the perplexing demands of protesters. They have run into a problem: university endowments hold vanishingly few shares in Israeli firms. So the focus has shifted to companies doing business in Israel."

Why is that perplexing? The anti-apartheid activists did the same thing. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Afric... :

"Besides advocating that institutional investors withdraw any direct investments in South Africa-based companies, anti-apartheid activists also lobbied for the divestment from all US-based companies having South African interests that had not yet adopted the Sullivan Principles. Institutional investors such as public pension funds were the most susceptible to these lobbying efforts."

And yes, the Wikipedia page also lists reasons given for not supporting divestment.

I think it could be a nice enhancement to have a way to place that into the context ahead of time, but the commands would have to be a bit more rigid in that the user would have to specify the resource to explain ahead of time.

I’ll add an issue for this though since I think it could definitely improve the performance!

We had an early CD burner in our lab at my first job out of grad school. I used to burn CD "mixtapes" for friends with it, a fun novelty in 1995. Recently, I found a couple of these stashed among the many boxes of CDs in my basement. Although they weren't stored in the manner recommended by TFA, they ripped without trouble. It's fun listening to them again after almost 30 years.

What brand new/emerging technologies did the 1st gen Apple watch use?

Apple mostly waits until a technology is proven, if they try something new they usually bury it.

See the failure of "AirPower". Or something like "vision pro" mostly all been done before apart from the weird ass screen that shows people's eyes for some reason that everyone hates and will definitely not appear in v2.

Apple is a terrible example of innovation for the most part.

This article seems to be missing the point. Perhaps slow and expensive armored vehicles as well as vulnerable soldiers on foot should now be relegated strictly to behind-the-wire defense, and that the only "safe" front-line forces are cheap and expendable drones and killer robots that will rapidly evolve to combat each other. The era of castles, knights, and trenches has passed, and so has heavy combined arms leading the charge.

That's correct but probably also practically irrelevant.
Yes, it is much stronger from personal experience on real world queries. A lot less hallucinations, more ability to answer nontrivial questions, a lot more coverage of the tail. Which is not surprising for a much larger model, but unlikely to make much of a difference in largely superficial evals. Source: I personally use both, as well as Anthropic models multiple times daily, and use them in batch use cases as well.
>Spooks aren't actually that good in hiding their works

That's because it's the failures we learn about. Which could be 90% or 5% of "their works".

But never mind the spooks. We are also told "there's no perfect crime". Yet, less than half the murders get solved in the US, for example:

I could argue that my tool used wrong presents a legal risk to ME because I let law enforcement do some terrible things that I know don't work.

Semi-related, most cloud services do not allow crypto mining, the reason there being it's not cost effective. So whatever mining does happen is stolen credentials, or some inside company job where dude is using company resources for personal gain ... pretty much all illegal activity. So they ban it and I believe actively try to detect / aggressively disable it.
Powerpoint is the first thing that came to mind for me. Obviously it misses some of the simplicity of hypercard, but from a slide/card based point of view, it's pretty similar and is very powerful in ways that most people don't realize.
What a beautiful area of research. Kudos to Pr Abdus-Saboor and his team.
Search for DVD disc rot on youtube. There are many channels talking about it. There is a chunk of them from 2007-2011 that have a bad rot issue. There is also a chunk of laserdisc that have similar issues from the early 90s. Usually it is the process to make the plastic is done wrong and the layers start to delaminate from each other.

I have also had them come right out of the box and have errors. No visible issues. But the thing just will not read in particular places on the movie.

> We can haggle over what words (immigration) mean, but the numbers are straightforward, are they not?

You literally failed to show numbers showing a surge in immigration though. I provided numbers that show (over a longer time period) the opposite. Trying to proxy another measurement (like "encounters") is analysis. And you're welcome to do it. But you aren't doing that either and are throwing links around instead.

Please don't, it cheapens the site. The reason you can't find any links that say what you want them to is because what you believe is wrong, and people who actually do the analysis you're skipping are coming to a different conclusion.
Well the only thing that's really itching me is the fact that the whole lua debug.* section is documented as

>You should exert care when using this library. Several of its functions violate basic assumptions about Lua code (e.g., that variables local to a function cannot be accessed from outside; that userdata metatables cannot be changed by Lua code; that Lua programs do not crash) and therefore can compromise otherwise secure code
(from the manual)

kinda creeps me out.

In my 20's I thought startup was a quick way to make a million bucks. I had a list of ideas. Copied and spun others' ideas. Some of them made money but none was wildly successful. Now I'm older and money is less of an issue, I realized starting a business is more about finding the people you want to help, working with people you like, and being the right person to solve the problem at the right time.
This is great! Did you post the code anywhere? I'd be interested in seeing how something like this is done.

Companies can decide who they provide service to, and can give advice about who "should" use their products. But I don't think Proctor & Gamble has the legal authority to stop you from using Tide laundry detergent that you legally purchased from a grocery store or on eBay.

The current era of tech is all about disguising web services as "products" you can "buy" (most recently exemplified by the Humane AI pin and Rabbit R1), so I can see how there'd be confusion, though.

I'm really trying to figure out where you got 53.29% from. Your formula is not only not how you'd calculate this, but gives 0.009. If you want to know the right answer, the easiest way is to do a binomial calculation, which is easiest using a calculator [1].

The answer is there being at least (so this value includes all possible values >= 2) 2 deaths in a population of 100 with a rate of 1 in 1000, would be 0.464%.

> The biggest annoying magic I found with respect to Box (and other std containers like Rc) is that they’re the only ones capable of storing fat dyn pointers. You can’t construct a hybrid_rc::Rc<dyn Trait> like you can with Box/Rc.

Anything can store fat dyn pointers, they're just like any other type in that regards.

Constructing them for a specific trait is easy and possible on stable (e.g. adding a `as_debug(MyBox<T>) -> MyBox<dyn Debug>` method).

Making it possible to construct them for any trait is special to the built in pointers... on stable. On nightly with unstable features it's possible (and easy) to make any smart pointer type do this.

> The Shapes are kept in a statically allocated array [...] Can’t fail to allocate, can’t be leaked, no fluff. Lovely. The 100 shape limit wasn’t limiting in practice. With very little time to optimize the renderer, the framerate would drop before you even got to 100 shapes.

That's the best example of avoiding premature optimization I've seen in a while.
> One of those people died of a gunshot wound, so whether it was self-inflicted or not, their age and health and any related statistics have nothing to do with the death.

Mental health is health. Age and physical health are factors that can effect mental health, particularly when someone is under tremendous amounts of stress. Their age and health could very well have something to do with their death.
