Absent any supporting data it's just a weird personal observation and comes off a bit creepy. I'm not saying the author is a creep, it's just a very peculiar way to make a point that could be made much less oddly. Do 1st graders need to have assess commented on and compared to 16 year olds (another group whose asses most of us do not observe with intention)? Why not just make a comment about weight generally?
Nvidia is definitely overvalued, but the AI revolution is real. Nvidia will see a huge correction in their stock market price soon-ish, as it’s overvalued even if one barely factors into account AMD and Intel GPUs being decent competition.
Pal, you don't understand how the market, or even real life, works.
It’s funny how when someone even mentions web scraping here on HN you have multiple users expressing that one shouldn’t do it, but when it’s applied to art it’s not quite the same.

I think artists are used to humans using their art as “inspiration” but automated mass scraping is not cool with them in the same way web scraping is not cool with devs/admins.
It’s the same fear some devs have of GitHub being scraped for GPTs

"The planet is dying" is shorthand. We're changing it too rapidly for existing species to adapt and they are dying out. That is fact. Does that mean the planet will become uninhabitable forever? Probably not, Earth can bounce back if given a few million years. That's a small comfort for those of us alive today.
An extrapolation to these make me think that programmers becoming like Tony Stark telling Jarvis what to do, and it gets it done. Or Minority Report style interfaces, where people will inform their intent (prompt?) and get the answers.
Did it use facilitated communication?
Also this idea that bigger is better with sample sizes can lead to problems on the other side, when we see people assuming an effect must be real because the sample size is so large. The problem is, sample size only helps you reduce sampling error, which is one of many possible sources of error. Most the others are much more difficult to manage or even quantify. At some point it becomes false precision because it turns out that the error you can't measure is vastly greater than the sampling error. Which in turn gets us into trouble with interpreting p-values. It gets us into a situation where the distinction between "probability of getting a result at least this extreme, assuming the null hypothesis" and "probability the alternative hypothesis is false" stops being pedantic hair-splitting and starts being a gaping chasm. I don't like getting into that situation, because, regardless of what we were all taught in undergrad, scientific practice still tends to lean toward the latter interpretation. (Except experimental physicists. You people are my heroes.)

For my part, the statistician in me rather likes methodologically clean controlled experiments with small sample sizes. You've got to be careful about how you define "methodologically clean", of course. Statistical power matters. But they've probably led us down a lot fewer blind alleys (and, in the case of medical research, led to fewer unnecessary deaths) than all the slapdash cohort studies that we trusted because of their large sample sizes that were so popular in the '80s and '90s.
Fun fact: it probably took more time to write up and refine the blog post than it did to hunt down that sneaky 40ms savings.
Which problematic beliefs?
> From a business impact perspective, operating LedgerStore is now very cost-effective due to reduced spend on DynamoDB. The estimated yearly savings are over $6 million per year.

I'd like to see this broken out more. You replaced a managed service with a custom DB on top of MySQL. Surely there is a significant amount of engineering effort that was/is being spent to create/maintain this.
I think by "legitimate" they meant morally legitimate. Humanitarian, honourable, chivalrous, whatever you want to call it. Intentionally targeting noncombatants isn't any of those things, even if it's effective at demoralising the enemy.

Of course we bombed the hell out of German noncombatants too, so we don't exactly have an unsullied record.
I seriously think this behavior is going to hurt MS in the long run. Even the least tech savvy people I know are starting to mumble about not owning anything anymore.
Great read. Hopefully others find this useful if they are in a similar situation. HP support is appalling.
In Spain, that would put you (the rightful owner) in jail and the judge would tell you to give the keys to the squatter. Yes, it's that crazy.
It's more of a climate degradation than collapse. It'll be managed until it can be managed no more. But for now, it's manageable.
The Black Hundreds
Palestinians never had a country so that couldn't have been stolen from them either

You know, you wouldn't be invoking this defense if you weren't aware, deep down inside -- that it really is mostly forcibly expropriated land that the State of Israel currently sits on.

Imagine a defense lawyer making the following argument: "Your honor, my client would never have broken into that house, and stolen that woman's necklace. It goes against everything he was raised to believe in. BTW it was never hers to begin with, so it couldn't have been stolen from her anyway."

No Israeli that I know thinks that Palestinians are inferior.

And yet -- the State of Israel was founded on the belief that its claim to the land and resources was categorically more legitimate than that of the people who (by and large) had been living and thriving in the area continuously for thousands of years -- since before the establishment of the first Israelite settlements, in fact.
I just wonder if such models based on their method would make hallucination even worse.
> except a year down the line the app is a complicated piece of spaghetti you have to rewrite

Small correction from a software house perspective:

except a year down the line the app is a complicated piece of spaghetti THE CLIENT has to rewrite OR PAY YOU TO REWRITE

:D

And with this:
> most of the components you can reuse would work OK as pure HTML components anyway

I unfortunately cannot agree. It is theoretically true from pure "it's possible" standpoint but it was not my experience in pre-jQuery times.
The shit backend devs did with concatenating html + JS snippets as strings wrapped in various patterns like the builder to make it configurable was pure maintenance horror. I don't miss it at all.
Huh, sharks pick up EM signals, right? I wonder what they think of this stuff

But just to be clear, I don’t think we should suppose it is damaging and try to ask the military to stop using it (good luck, lol). It could be worth looking into though.
I mean the whole paper is sloppy here. They kind of are writing to a biomedical journal and then say "well, it's NOT biomedical..." as kind of a little brush-off? And then they go through a couple explanations they have heard and dismiss them without really going through the evidence. (I especially liked the sloppiness of self-contradiction, in one section they're like "well there are no Hebrew letters that work for this" which is wrong, you could make decent arguments for both shin and tsadeh -- but then almost immediately after they're like "well this could be an M or W, W can symbolically be the Hebrew letter Vav...")

And after cursorily dismissing them they just say "therefore, it's an aesthetic meme. This is just what perfect hands look like, sorry."

A hypothesis that was not considered, for example: 'We asked people at school to imagine that they were going to be sitting still for the next three hours on a stool, and to sit on it in a way that was perfectly relaxed. We then prompted them "remember, in old times you'd have had to sit here for three hours, really relax." Finally, we then picked up their left wrist, turned it, and placed it on their chests saying "great, now can you just hold this hand here," and took a photograph. In 30% of these photographs we also see, even without syndactyly, that the two fingers get forced together just by the process of having your wrist twisted by an artist and then the fingers having to conform to the contours of the chest.'

I don't know what that percentage is, but I'd be surprised if it were 0%, right?
Sort of like when Ballmer-era Microsoft declared war on Linux and GPL.
I guess you're going for the big corporation market with the pricing, although the manifesto says small biz / bootstrap operations to me. Seems like a mismatch in messaging.

I've been using https://www.mmhmm.app for this sort of video streaming embellishment. It's pretty good though somewhat confusing, especially as they now have two products that are very similar but not identical. I believe one is replacing the other one but it's not clear. Mmhmm is simpler to use than OBS, so of course not as feature-rich. OBS allows doing things with audio and you can also run different audio to mmhmm (such as from virtual channel — I do some audio cleanup to remove fan and traffic noise) and then output a mmhmm-specic audio device so that your audio and video are synced in Zoom/Meet/whatever.
Both sides may feel it, but it isn't equally true for both sides.

One side suffers, the other co-opts the language of the suffering.

The time is generally 'reset' after a fairly long period of peace, but that doesn't prevent people declaring their own independence. You'll note Scotland had a referendum on this.

How long must Putin occupy parts of Eastern Ukraine until it's 'his'?

Throwing your hands up is just surrendering to the strongest power.
A fair amount of the left/right divide in America is actually a proxy for Emotional Intelligence. So a lot of the political traits we associate with the left are emotional - empathy, compassion, anger, and maybe a bit of neuroticism.

It's also why thinks like "wokeism" or "cancel culture" are so divisive - if you were born with lower EQ it might feel like you are being segregated against by a set of invisible rules against your lack of intelligence.
This hailo 8l is extremely useful in mobile robotic systems particularly when paired with an rpi 5. The main board used in this demo is.... not particularly useful however. Generally speaking boards like fpga miss the forest for the trees. As a systems engineer, where am I supposed to put such big board? Also I can expect that, even if my team incorporated this board into a mobile system, it become vaporware well before we deploy anything due to low production numbers and we'd be paying ebay scalpers 2x as much because our distributors wouldn't carry them anymore lol.

As for the rpi 5 combination, the power draw is relatively low. The whole thing clocks in at about 14 watts on an rpi 5 which allows us to run this platform off of a battery. With 26 tops, this setup can contend with the jetson xavier nx (21 tops, ~$500) and the jetson orin nano (40 tops, ~$500) for for a cost of around $170. Furthermore the cpu on the rpi 5 is generally more performant than the xavier nx.

Specifically, this is an excellent vision module for real-time object detection from multiple cameras if setup properly, while maintaining access to the prolific raspberry pi hardware ecosystem which is typically cheaper than the jetson ecosystem.
I would just not comment, in that case.

YouTube Ads Now Working?
is anyone else getting ads now? (06/07/2024) Ublock is enabled but now they are showing up.
Run the defroster for 15 minutes then used a credit card to release the suction cups. Students figured this one out many years ago when they first came out.

On the noisy NodeJS auto-instrumentation, it is indeed very noisy out of the box. Myself along with a bunch of other ppl finally got the project to allow you to select the instrumentations via configuration. Saves having to create your own tracer.ts/js file.

Here's the PR that got merged earlier in the year: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib/p...

The env var config is `OTEL_NODE_ENABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS`

Anyways, love Opentelemetry success stories. Been working hard on it at my current company and yielding fruits already :)
The "Recall" feature has been designed and rolled out in such a shoddy matter that I don't know if you can even call this an "exploit" in the traditional sense. As designed, Recall is irresistible bait for bad actors who will inevitably craft all sorts of methods to harvest its data for the purposes of theft and blackmail.

Microsoft deserves all the opprobrium it's getting over this galactically stupid idea.
Touche. You are correct. In fact, a number of paintings of esoteric figures now come to mind where their hands are in a particular configuration.
The point of teaching cool theory to undergrads is not to enable them to explain it. Professors study for PhDs to prepare to explain it. The point of teaching theory to undergrads is so that they are aware of the implications of the theories, and so they don't waste time on projects that are obviously doomed to fail.
that could mean anything, really
Lol, what did the Axis powers care about "war crimes"? If they'd won they'd have had every Allied leader up against the wall on day one of the occupation, even if we hadn't killed a single "innocent" civilian. Why would they have needed a pretext?

Both sides were not the same.
Maldita is a joke. Sometimes they don't know how to read data, other times they actively engage into twisting numbers. Every time they debunk something, you can be sure that they debunked is actually true. I remember a case where the claim was something like "there's 300.000 cases of <something>" and they debunked it with "FALSE, bla bla bla bla bla"... and when you read the fine print, it was not 300.000 cases but 298.000 cases. They are 1000% unreliable.
i'm explicit about when htmx is and when it is not a good fit here:

https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/

and try to be balanced when presenting it to people.

React had/has the full marketing might of Facebook & now Vercel behind it, htmx has a marketing budget of $0 and the main marketing vehicle is me shitposting on twitter.
I heard from a AWS worker that they consider Iceberg to be the future. A lot of their services will be glued together with it.
HAHA, no shit, and then, on top of this, they pull the Windows Recall fiasco. I mean, it just makes no sense!
Clearly this is not true. Was this written by AI?
I apologize that this is going to sound really ignorant, but how exactly is DJ mix different from something like a Spotify playlist?

I use those all the time for different activities, like a playlist for working out, another one for relaxing, different ones for different board games, etc.

But I've never been to a club where a DJ plays (just not really my thing, too loud and not my kind of music). What do they do? Why might someone want to stream one instead of using a playlist?
This reads like it belongs in an episode of The Curse of Oak Island not an article.
This is great. Last time I tried this I couldn’t even find a way in code to disable some.
The fact there's now a central repo for it all.
Scraping far more than just "credit card" and "passwords/logins" (personal details ever shown on your screen? Porn? Blackmail much? and don't give me the "if you've nothing to hide" spiel) People you connect to? Hey, now we can make a social graph. Contacts is one thing, but contents of chats? Let's add on more graph data. I mean, sure FB already does that, but there's legal avenues to pursue remedies(in theory). Here? What can you do but get pwned harder.
Stop excusing MS for this poorly thought out feature. They're returning the old ways and should not be given sympathy til they prove they are committed to privacy and security (which this seems to go against after Nadella's "WE MUST MAKE SECURITY FIRST" dictate)
The studies account for extremism but people on the extreme right are not nearly as unhappy as people on the extreme left.

You can even account for things like extreme poverty or cultural suppression.
Nope, it's a completely physical process and state, so you can disconnect it and the image will remain the same. So you could use it as a reusable post card if you wanted, but for $80 maybe it's not such a good idea...

I don't really know why they recommend to clear the screen after leaving the same image in for 24 hours, but I think it's mostly a precaution and most likely not a real issue. But for my own sanity, I do clear it at 2am and then it's already drawn a new image at 8am, before I'm out of bed.
And that's exactly my point. Regulating the underlying tech is utterly pointless in this case - it's utterly harmless by itself.
I realize that there's often a bunch of petty bullshit involved in parking enforcement. But can we just acknowledge that calling parking enforcement "dystopian" is perhaps just a bit overwrought?
I can’t argue with that; my diagnosis was a byproduct of a suicide attempt after a TBI. I doubt I would have pursued or ended up with one otherwise. It also doesn’t do anything at all for me; it’s not like there are accommodations I really need.

My main reaction is due to all the undiagnosed people who swear they have it and attack me for giving my son the help and treatment he needs. It’s an ongoing issue, stemming from ignorance on their part. Hence my lack of patience or sympathy any longer.
These days I explicitly go out of my way to find and run native programs. Sure they usually require a purchase but (1) devs need to eat too (2) the software is usually higher quality and (3) it’s ultimately cheaper than buying more cool hardware.

If that fails I take whatever remaining Electron options, which is just Discord these days, and create a desktop web app via Safari or Orion. WebKit is much lighter on the system.

Now when I fire up the company machine, which is even more spec’d out, it can feel stupid slow at times.
This reminds me of Korea's progressive feminist hand gesture [0].
For some reason, a video about Korea's gender war [1] ended up in my YouTube recommendation and somehow I decided to watch the 47-minute video (and another 110 minutes for part 2)...

Basically, aggressive feminist groups use a hand gesture as a disrespect against men (or misogynists), but the gesture is so general and anti-feminism is so large in Korea, that a lot of people mistook the otherwise normal picture in anime/games as a hidden attack against men. It caused riots and several people lost their jobs or sometimes the entire projects/companies went down.

I think it's not a good idea to associate a very natural gesture with horrible intentions...

So let's now worry about killings, bombings, rapings, etc because there's not so many of them, right? Don't be that naïve.
So rather than getting stuck in potential future tarpit of AWS or GCS or Azure, or probably a dozen other companies, we should voluntarily put ourselves into the IP tarpit developed by ARM? How exactly is that a win?

Over the last two decades ARM has developed a stranglehold on the non-x86 world, and they have already considered abusing this position to increase their profit margin[0]. As a chipmaker you're essentially stuck with ARM, as getting rid of them means you not only need to redesign your chips, but you also need to completely overhaul the entire downstream ecosystem.

With RISC-V there's at least the possibility of switching to a different IP vendor. That might not practically happen with bleeding-edge SoCs, but that kind of flexibility is quite important for the far larger dime-a-dozen MCU market. It's exactly why companies like Western Digital are investing in RISC-V and even developing open-source implementations[1]. Compute is essentially a commodity already, so why not tear down the walled gardens and force it to be one?

Everytime I mess up a password, I click the "eye" button to reveal it if I'm alone, so it will likely go into the screenshot.

I type totp code that will be valid for 2 minutes, and they are clear.

I have emails, account numbers and emails.

I have contacts of my network, sites I visits regularly and nick names I use. Sometimes I paste sensitive content in encrypted chats, but hey, now they are in the screenshot.

Then there are nude pics of partners, intimate journaling notes, porn activity, how much I have in the bank, contracts with clients under nda, legal and illegal drugs I order, political alliances, and all the stupid stuff I may do...

All that conveniently centralized and searchable.
Stupid?! The type of reader paying $500/year for the Microprocessor Report (where this response article appeared) already knew. (Similarly if they were motivated to get it free or took time to read it through their university, company, pirate it, etc.) And the ARM response you'll didn't mention RISC-V by name specifically.

The notion of an open source entity building an open or semi-open ecosystem cannibalizing even a low-end player was already happening in phone operating systems (Android/Linux vs Windows); a parallel dynamic wasn't lost on anyone looking at the hardware/ISA side, phone or non-phone.

I don't see this as any more foolish than Bill Gates making the case for software licensing vs free software at the dawn of the PC revolution. You may disagree with one party or the other, but each laying out their case is a marketing must. If you want to compete at the low end, you have to explain your value proposition vs "free".
I don't think this is the case, but it sure seems like something actual scammers would come into forums to downplay. "Relax guys! There's no problem, it's tooooootally safe, trust MS! wink wink."
Sure beats the tow mafia. Friends were fined and towed for reasons that were clearly invalid (parking restriction signs went up after they had parked, and within their legal 3h window). The city invalidated it without argument and cancelled the fine. But the tow mafia got to keep their tow/impound fee.
Yeah, it's a shame, I often have to do this type of crap in my off time. However, having a well architected app significantly reduces these types of massive undertakings. Doing it right the first time has its advantages. Then again, weighing it against delivering early and other important aspects has its merit too.
It's just a double edged sword unfortunately that you often have to walk in this industry.
The firebombing of tokyo killed 200K people, more than both nukes. the firebombing was an attempt to end the war via conventional means and it did nothing to weaken japanese resolve.

The reason hiroshima and nagasaki (small cities) were chosen as nuke targets was because every other bigger city was already mostly destroyed due to firebombing campaigns.
