> They will eventually die and a younger generation will enter the field who don't know why those ideas were dismissed

No, the younger generations are constantly entering the field, slowly learning and building up the tools required to think about these sorts of things. By the time they've done that, they don't need to have their silly ideas shut down, because they do that themselves, using the knowledge they've built.

And when they do have novel ideas, they have the mathematical and scientific tools to actually argue why their novel ideas deserve expensive, scarce telescope time, unlike the armchair pop-sci wannabe cosmologists (myself included) on HN.

Joe Rogan has a lot more subscribers and listeners than this guy, does it mean I should listen to his opinions?

Valuing someone by reach makes no sense at all. Most professors at MIT have no social media reach at all, I still value their opinions extremely highly.

In fact, valuing someone's opinion purely based on the size of their megaphone is partly why we're the world is in such a bad state politically (and in other ways) these days. E.g. people listening to social media influencers opinions on vaccines.
supabase is great, not sure why it was so slow compared to neon. I assumed it was a collocation issue.

The next killer-feature in the race to the bottom is probably software, not hardware, and is near realtime translation. Samsung is airing an advert for that right now, but it's not real time.

Better "AI" with a faster CPU and everyone has their own Babel fish.

If you can get the work, corporate training has better students and more money. You only get a few days with the students, however. Otherwise, there are lots of "learn to code" like groups that need mentors.
Which is, indeed, not allowed!
Yes, it's an issue. I come here as a layperson who is interested in the universe; it's exhausting to read plausible-sounding but completely meritless theories brought up by people here with little more training than I have, and try to decide if these ideas are actually useful, or are just uninformed things some rando thought up in five minutes after reading a pop-sci cosmology book.

I'd much rather hear plausible theories made by people who actually know what they're talking about.
> Gaussian splatting transform images to a cloud points.

Not exactly. The "splats" are both spread out in space (big ellipsoids), partially transparent (what you end up seeing is the composite of all the splats you can see in a given direction) AND view dependent (they render differently depending on the direction you are looking.

Also - there's not a simple spatial relationship between splats and solid objects. The resulting surfaces are a kind of optical illusion based on all the splats you're seeing in a specific direction. (some methods have attempted to lock splats more closely to the surfaces they are meant to represent but I don't know what the tradeoffs are).

Generating a mesh from splats is possible but then you've thrown away everything that makes a splat special. You're back to shitty photogrammetry. All the clever stuff (which is a kind of radiance capture) is gone.

Splats are a lot faster to render than NeRFs - which is their appeal. But heavier than triangles due to having to sort them every frame (because transparent objects don't composite correctly without depth sorting)
I have a better understanding on where you're coming from now, with your main experience of Perl being later version 4 and early version 5 of the language - things have significantly improved since then and it's a lot easier to write Perl code that's both easy to read and maintain these days. You might want to have a look through the Modern Perl book (http://modernperlbooks.com/books/modern_perl_2016/index.html) to get an idea of the direction the language has moved.

And for the more junior programmers out there: Just because a language gives you a feature doesn't mean you have to use it - part of being a good programmer is understanding when it makes sense to use a language's feature and when it doesn't. After all, C let's us directly inline machine code as an array of bytes, but that doesn't mean that we should be using that feature every time we write C code :)
> I’m quite sure Musk has a very strong stance on ethics

nice collection! i've been looking for something like this for a side project.
You're describing an iPhone. I've switched from Android to SE2 in 2020, and bought 15 last year on release day to get the type-c charging. I feel it ticks most of your boxes:

* excellent battery life - can't complain about it. I'm not streaming YouTube on 5G on the phone, and I've found out that it can last about two days per charge with light use - messenger apps, phone calls, emails. YMMV of course.
* a great OLED screen - it's bright & crisp. I haven't seen a better screen in person yet.
* a great camera - it's a very good camera IMO. Takes good shots of people and nature and shoots impressive videos of music shows in dark basements.
* durable/rugged - not sure about 15, but my SE2 was abused and dropped. The metal sides were dinged, the screen had a few nasty scratches, but the phone held up together very well.
* fast enough to feel snappy and not laggy - iOS is much nicer and snappier that any of the Android phones (HTC Desire S, Galaxy Note II, Xperia Z3, Xiaomi Mi6) I've had.
* don't want to buy a brand-new $1000 phone every year or two - I think iPhones do last a few years, given the fact that my wife uses 13 and has zero desire (or reasons, really) to upgrade.

The only requirement the iPhone doesn't fit is the storage - Apple charges an absurd price for storage upgrades on all of their devices. I went with the cheapest option and pay for a large iCloud subscription, and it seems to work well - the photo and file sync between the phone, Macbook & even my Windows machine is seamless and quick.

It also feels nice to give my money to a company that doesn't shove ads down my throat. Apple are not saints, they collect a lot of data and telemetry that I'm not a fan of, but at least they are not a corporation that is built on advertising.

I mentioned this to my wife a few weeks ago. I rarely look at myself for long in the mirror but spending an hour at a time in a video call where you see your own face can get to you (me).

I don't know why there isn't an option to hide yourself from your own screen, or is there?

I was on a long call yesterday and switched on 'focus on content' to get rid of the faces, but then new people turned up in the call and I didn't realise they were on. It didn't matter in that case but it would have been good to know.
Wow, so many great responses, thank you all for that! I'm going to throw in my personal favorite: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Somehow it touches me in a way that no other book does. It's also quite short, I think I've read it at least 3 times in the last few years and found something new and insightful each time
Being able to order food is only useful for those who live in an area where there is food to order. Here in rural Michigan I can count on one hand the number of times I've ordered delivery in the past 3 years.

There’s a strong argument against back doors of this type in ECC.

To back door the NIST curves would require that the NSA knows a secret attack against ECC and used brute force search to find seed hashes to generate the curves to be vulnerable. It would have to be a secret attack since nobody else has found it.

Thing is… if this is true it means there is a secret attack against some elliptic curves.

Using 1990s technology they couldn’t have brute forced all that many curves, meaning some non-trivial percentage of curves must be vulnerable.

How do we know curve25519 isn’t vulnerable to this secret attack? We don’t.

The ultimate conclusion is that if NIST curves are backdoored using secret math we shouldn’t use ECC at all, at least unless NSA discloses the math. But they couldn’t do that without blowing up the Internet since so much uses the NIST curves. It would be an argument to phase out all ECC.

Ask HN: Define Marketing
I'm asking to clear my mind because when I think of marketing, mind gets into UI aspect including content, features of the product.

I'm trying to learn marketing from scratch. I'm an engineer, spotted a problem, solved the problem with a product, wrote FAQs for product, I know the target audience and the market.

I'm asking because, in my world marketing is different and in reality it is different.

I know it is about having a product site, sharing it in forums like producthunt, hackernews, reddit.

That seems odd, because it shouldn't be the only places also there are already in these communities and I want to explore uncertain places.

I'm aware of seo as well, but im unable to believe in it. I have strong belief in product I have but I do not believe in these forums or communities.

What is marketing ? In my words finding the customers for the product.

How do I find my customers? Is answer I'm trying to find. I mean, I'd show the tool to designers in my office, but I can't sell to them. I need customers who I do not know but need this software.

My words might not reflect what I'm trying to ask, I'll be glad to explain or elaborate it.

Like keep track of discussions in target audience forum and slide in a link or tutorial on how to solve the problem using my tool? But where do such discussions happen for ui designers?

What if I didn't know about ycombinator and reddit. What I would have done. Just continue building the product. But I'd like to balance building and selling.

I share this sentiment which is why I'll be passively-aggressively going for a Sony Xperia 5 VI once it launches.

Not because it's particularly great (it's not), but because it's the only somewhat mainstream manufacturer to retain the headphone jack on their flagships as well as microSD card slot.

My only gripe is that it's mostly likely going to be a 180+ gram brick.
Yep, this is insane.
I still dont grasp what a spin of an electron is. The image of a spinning sphere doesnt help - as if you can roll this sphere you will see there is no different spin - it has only one spin direction and you cant differ two spheres apart by its spin. Even worse if I would consider a point - how should it spin as it is the same in every direction of the space.
As it is described by mathematical spinors (tensor) I still would like to see an equivalent in my sphere of experience to grasp it completely. (spin plus minus 1/2).
Odd enough the spin can combine and couple with the angular momentum it feels like the spin should be something that ought be visualised.
The desktop OS are all pretty bad so I wouldn't want to use that as an inspiration for anything.
I expect the report triggered something in a contract somewhere and they were obligated to take it offline knowing there was an issue.
> Not possible

Isn't it the case that we don't actually know if the universe is expanding, we only know that from our POV things are moving away from us and from each other, based on models and observations that are approximations at best?

In that frame an expanding universe seems to be the simplest and more elegant solution, but it's entirely possible it's not the correct one.

for example: what if, on the antipodes of the universe (assuming something like that exists), things appear to move closer to the relative POV? we'll never know
My personal pet theory is that the Internet is aging.

20 yrs ago, most of the Internet users were teenagers and very young adults.

Most of these people are in their late 30s to 40s now.
Did new kids join too? Sure! But if you look at the birth rates of our societies, you'll notice that it's a bell curve. Consequently, the average age is going up.

Furthermore, there is a strong selection bias with this demographic: the happier they're, the less likely they're going to be on these platforms, because they'll prioritize family, hobbies or whatever else over ... Well... "shit posting with random strangers".

Ultimately you're left with a significant chunk of people that are often disgruntled, jaded or outright mentally unwell.
I was under the impression ( and assumption ) that majority of mainstream social medias, literally, own everything that you post and archive it

Password managers such as Bitwarden and KeepassXC support creating and using Passkeys for accounts.

Presumably, you are already using a password manager at this point. Memorizing dozens of account passwords is not suitable for maintaining strong passwords.

Also, passwords still exist as a fall back if you need it, such as a situation you don’t have your device available. And not all accounts have to use passkeys.

Passkeys are effectively like ssh keys. Do ssh keys “lock you down” to specific devices? Sure they absolutely do unless you generate more keys or have some key management/sync workflow.
It works after ingestion, no matter if pre- or while-made stuff. Lactose free milk is made by throwing in lactase. But not all lactase is used up in this process and still plenty is left in the milk.

Almond milk or the other "artificial" milk-a-likes are most of the times pure chemistry. You have to read the contents. Phosphates are added a lot (actually a big problem for people with kidney diseases, but also might be problematic for healthy ones as phosphates are added literally everywhere and the daily consumption amount might become to much) and stabilizers and all the other stuff needed for the artificial milk to look and to mouth-feel like the ordinary milk
It makes sense once you realise that Chrome and Google benefit from increasing the complexity of web browsers. It means that new browsers cannot feasibly compete. It's basically an arms race of "how much mental shit can we throw in there"?
Yes, except this person DID cancel her Disney+. More accurately, she never signed up for it, merely ran a free trial for a month in 2019. So the only possible way to avoid this, if Disney's argument was upheld, would be to have never interacted with Disney at all in any way.

This is nice but tackle it this ways might be unnecessarily complicated. I don't always need to look at the cost while writing code and it could fail to track, say, resources dynamically created with something like CDK.

More useful for me would be to plug directly into the account OR to analyse the cloud formation template, which can be easily obtained regardless of the IaC you're using.
Wow... I guess that would be a great deal of money.
You commented on my opinion that it's "impossible to have a level discussion." You asked me if I tried commenting, and I answered you.

What motivated my opinion is not just whether my comment deserved flagging or not (and I see a lot of comments that may be more deserving of it by the logic you quoted.) It's the fact that it got downvoted and flagged almost instantly.
ribelo is saying that "modern liberalism" can be characterized by a belief that "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

At least in leftist philosophical circles, which are what I am familiar with, this is a relatively common critique of liberalism.

Another common rhetorical tactic in leftist critiques is to point out that the bad beliefs liberals often blame the conservatives for having are actually in practice tenants of modern liberalism too. For example both conservatives and liberals are in favor to some degree of using the military overseas to maintain global hegemony.

I don't know if ribelo is leftist or not but in any case I can see what they are going for.

The "any coupling" logic would also make anything running on Linux GPL, which is definitely not the case. Using background service such as Minio as an unmodified black box for data storage as part of your app is unambiguously not derivative work. If you were to write something like a management UI for Minio and offer it with your hosted Minio service, then I can at least see the argument, although it still doesn't count under my reading of the AGPL.

For SSD, I'd imagine you might get SMART data or something similar?

I know that on Linux, there are mmc-utils, but I only used those with eMMC so far.

I just tried to read out some general status information on uSD cards I have around: it didn't work for 2 Kingston and Acon cards (command timeout). But for a Swissbit card (industrial), it took some solid 10 seconds before reporting back that it's doing ok and is ready for data. Looks like it depends heavily on vendor support, possibly also undocumented/non-standard command sequences?
NSA did make a mysterious announcement a few years ago that people should not use ECC and should go back to older public-key methods. Of course, due to their fundamental conflict of interest and reluctance to share their rationale, very few organizations that didn't have to follow that guidance apparently did so.
