I didn't have the same luck.

I gave it a photo from inside a house, you can see a person on the bed, and the white wall behind - that's it.

Obviously I wasn't expecting an accurate location, but

> This photo was taken in Los Angeles, California. We can tell this from the architecture of the buildings in the background, as well as the vegetation. The palm trees are a dead giveaway that this is Los Angeles.

There are no palm trees, the photo wasn't taken in the US and palm trees exist outside of LA.

I also fed a photo of some quite distinctive castle ruins. It mislocated that by 100s of miles.

Hi guys, so I just started Android development and decided to make something very simple, basic and useful which usually I require, there are times when I need to get the percentages of various things and I need the app with very simple UI that just do the job fast, so I made one.

What you think and if there is something I need to change or add?
> Ultimately I have to conclude, that J&J with all of its billions of dollars and army of lawyers, couldn't find a way out of this.

As I understand it, J&J executives moved to bury data rather than investigating. In addition, J&J specifically targeted minorities proclaiming dubious "benefits" at the same time they were burying anything to the contrary.

Consequently, it doesn't really matter whether there is or isn't a link. The optics are so terrible that J&J is going to lose badly if brought to trial.

This is the whole "silicone breast implants" thing all over. In the end, the silicone implants were not at fault, but the behavior of the responsible company was sufficiently reprehensible that they were going to lose no matter what.
Location: Switzerland / Europe

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Potentially SF? Otherwise preferably hybrid/remote, though I am open to exploring options.

Technologies: Machine Learning (CV, NLP, etc.), Software Enigneering (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQL, a bit of frontend & IaC using Terraform with Microsoft Azure).

Unique background combining machine learning studies/work experience (ML/software engineer at Swiss startup) with business studies/experience (consulting, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, startup). At the startup, I worked on a computer vision project and as a software engineer on building their latest SaaS product (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, some frontend in Vue.js, etc). I would love to work with cool people building the future using AI :)
to be fair they say they provide the coordinates for the city or the town, so if it's not too far from stockholm I would count it right
AI based interpolation will soon make these mathematical interpolation methods obsolete right?
You have an entity (the corporation) that:

- is amoral

- is required and heavily incentivized by shareholders to maximize business value/output/growth at all costs

- is lead by people who cannot be held responsible for bad behavior (prison time)

You have to expect the worst. You have to assume they are going to do the absolute worst behavior they can get away with, that they will operate up to a millimeter away from the law, and sometimes go over the line if they think they can. The entire system is set up such that they would be foolish not to. IMO we should presume guilt instead of innocence when it comes to corporations--there is no reason to think they would voluntarily uphold some ethical or moral code if it meant lower profits.
HyperCard itself would not have had the role it did if Apple hadn't bundled it with every Mac. This is sort of like the Basic that came with older computers - any language that you had to get separately would get a tiny fraction of the popularity of the default option.
It's mostly ignorance now. Most people don't know the law and don't know how to comply with it. If the popup method hasn't been invalidated by a court, why spend more on time, energy, and risk doing something different?
The AI Hardware Dilemma
LLM evaluations are very sensitive to the details of the prompt's structure. This post shows how using structured generation reduces the results' variance and the ranking shifts.

Thanks. I have a better "premium description and ux" on my kanban backlog. Just had to shove this out the door at some point!
This looks fantastic. I've been creating repeatable checklists for all sorts of things and the tools that are out there always fail in this regard.

My other gripe that no one has addressed yet is editing vs execution of a repeatable list.

* When I'm editing a grocery list I want the items in alphabetical order because I'm searching a preexisting list for items to add, but when I'm executing the list I want the items in the order I come upon them in the store.

* When I'm executing a list, usually on my phone, I don't want my fat fingers accidentally reordering/editing/deleting list items. The list should be read-only with the exception of marking items completed.

* Having a list with defaults and a reset option. I often have repeatable lists with optional and required items (e.g. beach vs desert camping, groceries, etc). It would be nice to have a reset option to uncheck/show defaults while keeping all the optional items off a list.
I agree it makes financial sense to provide universal access to preventative care and basic (read cheap) healthcare.

I think it is counter-productive in addition to being logically irrational to focus on equal access to high end care. It isn't possible and it poisons the well for meaningful change. Not everyone should have access to 10 million dollar care on the social dime. There is no upper limit on possible costs, so actively seeking equality just means banning higher care for those who can afford it.

I dont think that the US outcome is the result of greed. companies are just as greedy in costa rica or eurpoe. Rather, US healthcare costs are the result of illogical and schizophrenic policy choices, with incompatible choices that dont work together. I could rant for hours about what those are, if you are interested. At the end, it is like a crowdsourced car that doesnt work. Someone picked a porche engine, and someone else picked bicycle tires, and someone else picked a tractor frame, so it doesnt work at all.
So is this a way to lock down a client to shut out VPNs?
is legit for one-half of open source, for sure. the other half is funded, COSS-by-design companies that do scale on product and the paid companies that you are talking about.

something interesting you will notice even with those companies---GitLab, Hasura, Strapi, even Cal.com come to mind---is that they too get flak for feature-flagging, restricting paid features to closed repos for a period, and making choices that help them sustain. the beginning of open source led to a synonymization of the term with everything-free-forever and it continues despite the number of projects that have died or tuned closed-source and the founders that have stopped maintaining their repos.

weird how we'd much rather have projects die than advocate for their sustainability, but it is what it is.
I mean it shouldn’t be a shocker that this happened. Nintendo made their case clear in court the DMCA is strongly in favor of copyright holders. Obviously people can file a counter-notice, but that immediately opens them up to a lawsuit from Nintendo, which, well, we all saw how that went with yuzu. If the yuzu developers didn’t want to risk the fight, would any rational person who forked it?
How would Pythagoras' formula look like in your language, because that has been my problem with stack based languages in the past. Great at doing high level abstract mathematical operations, fixed points and all of that jazz, but then it becomes impossible to read basic stuff without doing a dry run in your head.
Well for the last point, the method of action with asbestos is that it physically damages tissue and isn’t broken down by the body right? So any internal exposure would be cumulative. The question then is can small fibers migrate up to the ovaries. The prevalence of microplastics in the placenta suggests it’s at least plausible that small particles can migrate in unexpected ways.
It seems to me, that daily use of something with a small amount of asbestos near any orifice would be dangerous.
I also think that once you prod for explanations of combination, or why consciousness seems to be deeply associated with a specific kind of structural function and complexity rather than such things as size and mass, panyschist answers about where consciousness "shows up" just start to more closely approximate ordinary consciousness research we are already doing.
It's crazy how slack big tech is. For companies who have such a grueling application process you'd think they'd have more to show for it. disappointing.
Has any specific Yuzu fork been established as the new standard yet? Early on there were a bunch of clout chasers announcing forks and then only making surface level tweaks to the branding, because they really had no idea what they were doing.
While they are more performant still, nvidia tries to lock customers into artificially expensive products.

RTX consumer cards suck at AI because they simply lack the memory. That is where even an Macbook Air with passive cooling and max memory config is nearly as capable as an RTX4090, the larger Macs plainly beat everything nvidia puts into consumer tech because they can load larger models.

But sure, smaller models run faster on nvidia cards and the difference is still very noticeable. But complex models fail because nvidia doesn't have enough memory on their consumer cards. If they don't change here, other hardware will prevail. If there are similar optimizations that currently exist for cuda, they might already be on par.
It does, as does Todoist and other task managers. But it's never a first class citizen and takes a backseat to one-off task management. For many, these features or even Google Sheets or the Notes app is sufficient. It wasn't for me, though.
The problem with that, is that the company investigated itself and found no problems. And as others pointed out, the mines were known to contain asbestos and they continued anyway.
Venezuela, a land of contrasts and natural wonders, beckons travelers with its diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history. From the snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the pristine beaches of the Caribbean coast, this South American gem offers an array of experiences waiting to be discovered. Planning a trip to Venezuela requires careful consideration and preparation to ensure a smooth and memorable journey. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you plan your travel to Venezuela, including information on the nearest town, weather conditions, and a myriad of activities to indulge in.
Ehm... just match a DC buzzer to a battery? (or -set). The stationary wire + moving handle goes in between, acting as a switch.

Eg. 5V DC powered buzzer + 3 AA's. Or buzzer that works with 3..4V with a single Li-ion.

Use eg. stainless steel wire, even if not outside in the rain. Stays better-looking if device is stored in a damp environment like a shed. And of course battery & buzzer mounted such that no water can leak in.

Bonus: for deaf users, you could include a red LED (+series resistor) wired in parallel with the buzzer.

P.S.: this is really too simple to warrant a HN post.
Enough of the plans of the Shuttle were public that the Soviets had managed to build an improved copy (https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/Buran_(spacecraft)?&useskin=v...), so it wouldn't really be theft if China did the same thing with the Shuttle, but it's funny because launching a Shuttle off the Moon is nonsensical, as is the scale of all the other structures they show.

To more clearly answer your question though, besides the fairly strict ITAR controls for certain parts, the main barrier to acquiring space tech is materials, which is more of a challenge to steal since a lot of it depends on experience rather than documentation. Eg SpaceX can openly show its Raptor engines and what part does what (besides the injector design, which is ITAR protected), because the challenge isn't knowing how a Raptor works, it's knowing how to make and work with the alloys used and how to control the resulting engine.

The external appearance of a rocket is the easy part, so something looking similar is not evidence of theft.
"it’s reflecting on the good old days as though it happened thousands of years ago."

Internet time is different than real time
If all you have to do to beat these claims is throw money at the problem, then why haven't the other (better funded) search engines done that?
Says the annual failure rate is 1.5%, but average time to failure is 2.5 years? Those numbers don't line up.

Are most drives retired without failing?
This is what I use google keep (https://keep.google.com/) for -- though it's not as fully featured as yours, but it is free. In your opinion, what would be the main feature over that you'd say?
It likely has a bunch of asbestos in it, as industrial talc tends to have to most asbestos in it. I would wear a mask when using it.
I assume it's to prevent reverse shells.
How do we define an acceptable refusal rate? The vaccines were largely untested and given under emergency use authorization. Shouldn't it be reasonable for people to choose for themselves whether to take part in the vaccine campaign or not, especially when we can't provide solid data to support safety or efficacy?

At the end of the day, in my opinion, there is no magic number for vaccine acceptance that is a metric to define beforehand. Refusal rates are a backward looking metric only and simply reflect the willingness to participate and trust in the general public.
You don't get to claim yourself that the evidence you obtained is extraordinary
This seems well into the realm of reactionary, and I'd love to avoid it on HN in particular. The physical and chemical worlds are absolutely chock full of things that sound terrifying, but pose no practical harm in low quantities over a human lifetime and are virtually impossible to truly 100% avoid. When you combine these two facts, you get important real-world concepts like "acceptable levels" or "acceptable durations" or exposure type distinction (e.g. inhalation vs contact).

This is the reason we don't let people who think in terms of "how many microscopic needles is it okay to have in my daughter's vagina" make legal decisions. It's the same reason we don't let victims decide the punishment for crimes.
I actually have faith in the intelligence products produced by the modern CIA, much more than AI snake oil.
Look up 'zone 2' training, especially in cycling and running.
Thanks for sending me down the Decker rabbit hole. Another 4 hours of my life vanished, but I had a great time. The retro look covering a really interesting language has me hooked.
> unless if you subscribe to certain political/ideological values then you wont find much to hang around for

I’ve had success with following people with pre 2015 bio’s. No flags, no politics, no pronouns. Just tell me what hobbies etc. you’re into.
Nope. There was a bunch of hype around `Suyu`, even in the news, before it was discovered the developer was a minor who had no idea what he was doing.

No rational person is going to fight a DMCA from Nintendo. Nintendo would in no circumstances not file a DMCA against a Yuzu fork. Additionally, the settlement required that all of the core developers, who would know it best, are never permitted to work on a Nintendo emulator ever again. Thus, Yuzu is completely dead.
There are already so many sources of protein that don't require animal-concentration-camp farms. Here in the USA we could stand to eat more fungi, for example.
We humans could also not be so numerous. Taking for granted our growing population (why is it growing so much? What is imbalanced?) enables us to carry on rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

We already have what we need for humanity to continue awhile longer in healthier ways. I'm not convinced that tech-ing our way forward is anywhere near as effective as changing our culture.

Reduce first, then reuse, and as a last resort, recycle. The more of our trash that is compostable, usefully biodegradable, or inert, the better. This will require significant shifts in the status quo. It will likely involve letting go of these devices we spend do much time on.
Hey Nikolay, thanks for sharing your experience with Scalr. When did you last evaluate the provider? afaik it covers everything, but perhaps we missed something?
Non-Profit based ACME CA in Europe.

We want to establish an alternative to Let’s Encrypt that is taking the core features and values from ISRG.
That’s not based on “bad US!1!”, more then a alternative would strengthen the ecosystem. This also means to create an alternative ecosystem like boulder.

The current challenges are mostly about incorporating the non-profit and structure it right. So that it’s as open as possible.

Motivation? To help shape the security landscape and bring much wanted features that are not viable for Let’s Encrypt to implement. Viable describes that boulder would require major rewrites for it to get implemented.

Specially we want to provide SMIME and .onion certificates.
Yeah, so far no company has built a crewed moon lander. The space suits are also a big problem.
Thanks for letting me know! I had some brief issues with the DNS yesterday, but it should be back up.
No, why would they? What would you expect an "AI" to do besides somehow implement an interpolation algorithm? The math is unavoidable.
Gonna pile on to other's suggestions, and say Todoist can do this. You can schedule a task to happen every four weeks, and the next occurrence happen four weeks after you complete it (even if you're a few days late) or four weeks from when it was last due. Pretty nice for my needs, might fit yours too.
Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (May 2024)
What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?
> I believe most production allocators don't use object headers for this reason.

Isn’t the original reason hardening against buffer overflows? Overwriting allocator metadata can be used to attack a system.
I've noticed this gap too. Looking forward to trying it!

Edit: Would love to have the ability to have everything completely private. Also, a one-level deep grouping would be great!
A private de facto "mandate", not a governmental one.

Well, yes, that's what I was getting at: Freedom cuts both ways here. If you choose to not get vaccinated, others should be allowed to, at the very least, choose not to have you around. Immunity is not a private belief, but has severe, sometimes existential implications for other people.

I assume, it's pretty much the same with guns in the US. You are allowed to own them, carry them, but not allowed to bring them everywhere, if someone's ruling within private jurisdiction forbids it.
WPF is a joy.
Re: 2 I would like a large icon and small text that confirms my intuition about what the icon means. The icon thereby eventually becomes part of my lexicon.

I don’t even see the text, I just see database, load balancer, Redis cache…
I don't think the point of engineering is for something to be understood.

Biological systems, _solve_ real problems. They adapt. That's very much engineering in my opinion.

That most of our engineering is designed to be understood is just a side effect of how humans do things, not an inherent property.
As moves by Netflix and most other streaming services indicate, ads and the surveillance-tech underpinning them are never going away.

You can pay and still be the product. Paying for ad-free Netflix doesn't exclude your account from telemetry collection or from stitching together other non-Netflix behavioural data that can be freely collected from data brokers.
This is about GlobalAlloc, the trait that actually exists in stable Rust. Only static variables can be marked as the #[global_allocator], and statics are always required to be Send + Sync. Of course, if you're really sure that only a single thread will ever exist, you can pinky-promise it by putting a couple unsafe impls on the allocator type. But then the language won't protect you if you do try to allocate or deallocate from multiple threads.

(More practically, you can just write a GlobalAlloc that forwards to an instance of a thread-local allocator. Though that runs the risk of thread-local deinitialization running in an unexpected order.)
Node.js – v22.1.0
> we all saw how that went with yuzu.

To my knowledge, there hasn't been any judgement but a private settlement has been made.

It's true that you can't really defend your rights against a corporation as big as Nintendo though.
I really like my Surface Duo for exactly that reason, folding it hides the screens. The device dimensions definitely aren't for everyone, but having the option for a larger device and the usability of two screens really is pretty handy.

The Duo has its own faults though, the body around the charging port is particularly fragile due to how thin they made the device.
It’s doubleplus ungood! Today. Tomorrow, it might be the reverse.
Please consider being more explicit that this is a freemium product. You state it in the post, but pricing is nowhere to be seen on the index page. Until you sign up, I suppose. It's probably not done intentionally, but it's effectively one of those annoying sneaky anti-patterns.
Obviously yes. At an AFR of 1.5% they'd have to have the drives run for (about) 67 years to have them all retire from failure.

(in reality they'd probably have failure rates spike at some point, but the idea stands. And they explicitly said they retired a bunch of 4TBs)
I see you had a similar comment 3 times in the last month. The easiest is probably clicking the 'contact' link on their website.
If it was a browser setting, which already exists but gets ignored, it would get ignored and would throw up a popup anyway. You can use Consent-O-Matic[0] though, you can even select the types of tracking you do want.

Well, at least we still have Ryujinx. Citra getting caught in the Yuzu crossfire is worse because there isn't another mature 3DS emulator to fall back on.
