If you’re wondering why there’s no demo graphic, it’s because this idea is meant to produce correct results (in a bug-robust way), not anything different.

One thing that can go wrong in 3d graphics is z-fighting, where a scene has rendering artifacts because two objects are touching or intersect each other, and the triangles that are close to each other look bad when their z values (distance from the camera) hit machine tolerance differences. Basically the rendering has errors due to floating point limitations.

The post is pointing out that the float32 format represents many, many more values near 0 than near 1. Over 99% of all values represented in [0,1] are in [0,0.5]. And when you standardize the distances, it’s common to map the farthest distance you want to 1 and the nearest to 0. But this severely restricts your effective distances for non-close objects, enough that z-fighting becomes possible. If you switch the mapping so that z=0 represents the farthest distance, then you get many, many more effective distance values for most of your rendered view distance because of the way float32 represents [0,1].

I'd like to understand what data engineering inside Nike is actually like. I'm curious because I have relevant experience on my LinkedIn profile, and I get reached out to almost weekly from third party recruiters trying to fill really low paying contract data engineering and ML jobs with Nike. These roles seem to be targeting people with professional experience in the US but pay roughly a 3rd of what I would consider the going rate. There's another top level comment here that this tool might make sense "in a shop with a lot of inexperienced devs", which would confirm my anecdata. Maybe the roles are actually scams, who knows :shrug:
> An apples to apples comparison gives very different numbers.

I don't see the relation with apples. If you take electricity where it works well, then it works well. But the fact that it accounts for 20% of our energy consumption today means that it does not work well everywhere. Try planes or merchant boats, for fun.

And that's not even mentioning that on those 20%, a good part is coming from coal.

> There’s no point in storing power between seasons, just add more generation.

You're saying "just waste solar panels during the summer so that you have enough during the winter", right? I thought it was pretty clear that wasting energy was not a good idea for the future.
Virtuous Tools Are Tangled Hierarchies

Before reading a single word, CSS.

Although I must say it's kind of funny how the site seems to adopt a mobile-first approach by having no approach and being way easier to read on a phone than on a desktop by virtue of having a narrower screen.
There are prospect databases like Apollo.io and zoominfo that let you filter based on prospects new to their job. Add that to a company size/stage/revenue filter and you should be at least 80% there.

Alternatively, you might consider scraping relevant job sites/forums/boards for job postings for UX research/designer.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

> “I love open source, but I see limitations on how far we can take it in this space,” said Hypponen, noting that he had been at Helsinki University at the same time as one Linus Torvalds.

Awww, it is like in those romantic novels, where there is the protagonist and his evil twin.

Sorry, I have nothing positive or constructive to say to this. The premise of the argument is so ridiculous. But I fear Europe, which is nearly digitally competent, will take such statements seriously.
This has not been successful historically because software developers struggle to design code that has mechanical sympathy with these architectural models. These types of processors will run idiomatic CPU code with mediocre efficiency, which provides an element of backward compatibility, but achieving their theoretical efficiency requires barrel-processing style data structures and algorithms, which isn't something widely taught or known to software developers.

I like these architectures but don't expect it to happen. Every attempt to produce a CPU that works this way has done poorly because software developers don't know how to use them properly. The hardware companies have done the "build it and they will come" thing multiple times and it has never panned out for them. You would need a killer app that would strongly incentivize software developers to learn how design efficient code for these architectures.

We have an approximate expression of how many prime numbers there are less than N, as N gets larger. If the Riemann hypothesis is true, then we know that the errors in this approximation are nice and small, which would allow us to prove many other approximate results.

I've used shelly products to do this before. They handle most of the hardware stuff if you are coming from a more software experienced side of things. It's basically an ESP chip that controls a relay. They have terminals set up to read switch or button pressed too. The project I had was to replace a garage door opener and have a switch set up to tell if the door was open or closed.

Such performative garbage. If your society is structured such that you cannot have a child without the whole family being completely miserable, a dating app will not help you. But the government already knows that, they just don't want to change. You reap what you sow.
I expect the answer is "no". I wouldn't expect a tool like this to "discover" assembly without being trained on the compiled output. The model has no notion of how or where the code runs.

After decades of compiler research and super compilers chugging away, we're sort of at a point where discovering novel optimizations with results that are more than a smidge of improvement is almost impossibly unlikely. Compilers today are really good.

That said, I think the value that something like this might have is being able to optimize the intent of the code. If it can determine that I'm sorting some numbers, it can rewrite my code to use a faster sorting algorithm that has the same functional properties. If I'm storing data that never gets used, it can stop storing it. It has a view of the code at a level above what the compiler sees, with an understanding not just of what is being done, but why.

Show HN: Shortbread App – AI-powered, romantic comics for women
Hi HN! Fengjiao and Evan here. We are building Shortbread App, Netflix for webcomics. We publish guilty-pleasure romance series (think 50 Shades of Gray) as comics. Like the mature version of Webtoon.

You can see two comics episodes at https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/3d25370c-a4eb-4df4-af8e-... https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/866c2873-9962-4ebe-8f0c-..., and read more in the app via https://www.shortbreadapp.com/.

All comics in the app are made by artists using the Shortbread AI Comics Studio (https://shortbread.ai). It is a powerful Photoshop-like editor that speeds up comic creation 10x with AI. The editor provides consistency and granular artistic control. More below.

We first posted on HN 6 months ago when we built a prompt-to-comics AI (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37792444). We sunsetted this soon after - it was a fun experiment but it didn’t meet the real need of comic artists. Shortbread Studio now changes this by enhancing how creators naturally work instead of replacing them.

The tech:

One-shot Character LoRA: Artists upload a single photo of their character. Our backend uses prompt engineering and ControlNet pipelines to generate a synthetic dataset from this photo. This dataset shows the character in all kinds of angles, poses and facial expressions that the artist can pick the best from. It’s then sent to our LoRA training service to create a LoRA model. This takes about 7 minutes.

Control -> Redraw -> Refine Workflow: In real life drawing, you draw, erase, and draw again. The human creative process is iterative.
In Shortbread Studio, artists can start from a text prompt, a sketch, a web image or a pose reference as a basis, create an initial panel and quickly modify and regenerate until they get what they want. If you spend 5 seconds, you get a decent panel. If you spend 10 minutes, you can push the limits and get pro results.

Built-in Post-Processing: The editor’s features include liquify, upscale, remove background, and outpainting to extend an image. This allows artists to remove, add, or modify parts of an image on a pixel level without drawing by hand. We combine this with segmentation models like Segment Anything (https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything) to support intelligently selecting and editing a part of an image.

Google-docs like collaboration: The Studio runs in the browser and supports comments and collaboration.

LLM Powered Copy Editor: Comics need text. An AI agent proofreads speech bubbles, fixes lettering and identifies grammar mistakes.

All of the above are built by a team of 3 engineers including myself. I will be around to answer any questions in this thread!
Claude is unavailable for some users. Web and Mobile.
This is the second narrative I've seen recently where folks seem to think they have a strong argument against RTCs. Just, what?

Yes, there have been advancements in statistical tools. And we actively know some causal pathways. More, sometimes the expensive randomized trials are just not worth the standard ROI calculations...

But, to think that you have found some magic bullet against RTCs shows you don't really appreciate why they are so vital. And is usually a sign that you are reading the narrative of someone invested in an outcome.
If you have the att fiber with the ONT separate from the modem, it's really easy to bypass 802.1X. Plug an unmanaged switch in between the modem and the ONT; let the modem auth; disconnect the modem. You'll likely need to do that again if the ONT reboots, but at least for me, ATT a UPS for the ONT, so reboot frequency should be low.

Personally, I built up a rube goldberg of software and hardware with bypass nics so if my firewall was off (or rebooting), traffic would flow through their modem, and when it was on, my firewall would take the traffic and selectively forward traffic through from the modem, but there's really no need for that when you just use an unmanaged switch. I can find the code if you're interested (requires FreeBSD), but you sound more sensible than that ;)

If you (or, well, anyone) ever need an honest third party to audit a cryptography design--whether it's because you suspect bullshit or just want assurance that it's actually a good design--talk to the Crypto team at Trail of Bits.

If you listen to doctors who are not so influenced by pharma reps, the majority will tell that the benefit of the vaccine is only worth its costs and risks (which are small, but still there) if you are older or immunocompromised.

Brazil has a very reputable public vaccination system, and we only vaccinate people on the schedule for people over 55 (I think)

Germany has an extensive public health insurance system, so they are not interested in paying vaccines for people who don't really benefit from it.
Hey HN,

As a developer, crafting the website is often the least enjoyable task for me. Design isn't my thing, but I still want the front end of my web app to shine! That's why I turned to Framer and created a sleek website template that incorporates all the essential sections every app needs:

Most of highly wealthy and developed parts of the west (North America, Europe, Australia, etc) don't have Japanese society's strict conformism issues (quite the opposite actually) and yet birth rates of the locals are still shit, depending on immigration to stay positive.

What if, birth rates are a much more complex topic that can't be reducted just to one cause or the other but a cumulation of multiple factors.

Personally from where I'm standing (EU urbanite), I see the falling birthrates seem to be mostly caused by unaffordable housing in the big cities where most young people live, which seems to plague most of the developed west, as that's where all the jobs the young generations are taking, but there's no affordable space to raise a family in.

Sure, you can move out of big cities to the countryside with affordable land, but you'll either have to give up your white collar job and social circles you worked so hard for, or spend hours per day commuting (no, fully remote work isn't an option for most employees unfortunately). So middle class couples are struck between a rock and hard place where they're constantly waiting for the winds to turn in their favor till their biological clocks run out.

To me it seems that mass urbanization, as in the move from rural to urban, is a huge factor in killing birthrates across the world, not just the west, but also in places like China who in their rural poverty days had too many people that they had to cap the max number of children by law and now when a lot of it is urbanized and developed, they have the exact opposite problem.

I've been doing this for a while with SmallStep CA: https://github.com/smallstep/certificates

It's a bit of a pain to load a cert onto every device (easier with stuff like Ansible if you have a bunch of linux devices), but manageable. And it lets me do proper trusted TLS for a lot of stuff that would otherwise be self-signed.

edit: It's also just a fun homelab project to see what it's like to run a full production-ish PKI setup.

One thing I recommend is to add X509v3 Name Constraints extensions to your root CA if you go down this path. It prevents the CA from being abused to MITM you for other domains (at least for browsers/clients that respect names constraints)

I can't agree with that, Wine has been around for a long time and it never really took off for that use. IMO the future of cross-platform is still the web, because "cross-platform" also includes smartphones now.

That is more the developer's fault. AppImage is a very broken distribution method and IMO it should never be used.
I'm not sure I follow the criticism here. Is the issue that a paid product only supports Mac, or an open source project didn't build for multiple OSs?

If it's the first; I've seen tons of Mac only software due to the perception that it's a more lucrative platform. (Users are price tolerant for good products).

If it's the last; scratch your own itch. Since it's open source you can write the softer yourself. I'm not sure if this outlook is the diy zeitgeist I grew up in, or just being old. I'm curious if this is still a common belief.
Browser security enhancements have made enumerating those a lot more difficult, but a quick google suggests there were still tricks to achieve DNS rebinding as recently as 2023. Very possible.
Kebernetes ought to change that default, as it's contrary to the standard.

e.g. systemd by default won't query DNS for a .local domain, and it's sometimes useful to connect to K8s resources from outside the cluster.
It is proprietary, but it's not like it's difficult to decode or interpret.
