TLDR
“A typical IMAX image has 23 million pixels, and for Interstellar we had to generate many thousand images, so DNGR had to be very efficient. It has 40,000 lines of C++ code and runs across Double Negative’s Linux-based render-farm. Depending on the degree of gravitational lensing in an image, it typically takes from 30 minutes to several hours running on 10 CPU cores to create a single IMAX image. Our London render-farm comprises 1633 Dell-M620 blade servers; each blade has two 10-core E5-2680 Intel Xeon CPUs with 156GB RAM. During production of Interstellar, several hundred of these were typically being used by our DNGR code.“
Congrats on the launch!

Looks amazing
Is there a way to try this without signing in to use it locally?
OSM is OpenStreetMaps. This appears to be a server to locally mirror the ~90GB global tile set and serve them with your choice of style to OSM client applications.
>I do not see anything criminal at all in writing some malware or exploits.

MaaS (malware-as-a-product) is certainly criminal. There’s no legitimate purpose in writing control servers or admin panels for DDOS or ransomware.
When my dogs were alive, they had ketamine shots once a month (I think) and that seemed to help quite a bit.
There is also the rarely mentioned pytype from Google, written in Python. And pyright from Microsoft is written in Typescript, pyre at Facebook in OCaml. Last time I checked, these had better type inference algorithms (Hindley-Milner?) than mypy.

Wait, it's been a looong time since I did Java. What am I missing here; what does Java do differently from C#?

(C# is my daily driver so I'm quite familiar with its handling of value and reference types)

Love this. Nit pick (sorry, sorry), this doesn’t seem to render forces in three dimensions as far as I can tell from the video - no curling of fabrics, no purl bumps for starters, not to mention cabling. That said, it seems to do some things unusually well, like the relaxing into final design simulations are impressive, and that they can do this with slips and row skips and render the back are all super cool.

The holy grail to me would be seeing how these fabrics fit / flow on a model as well; there are plenty of cloth simulators, and I would guess there are reasonably good knit flow simulators, but a design tool that did this and the knit flow / rendering taking into account yarn, would be rad.
This is the kind of mistake that I doubt even a junior Go developer would make. If one is a senior engineer and one has Go on their CV, then one must know the memory management top to bottom.

This kind of downplaying of hard skills and trying to argue that one can help by admitting gaps in their knowledge is at best weird.
Funny, from reading the title I thought this would be about holding a pen while walking between rooms.
For me, this has been perplexity.ai. Give it a query, it expands that into multiple queries (possibly chained depending on results) and synthesizes the results into an answer with citations.
I stayed at a hotel directly behind the convention center, no room searches...
It works well. I've got at least four browsers installed on the macbook and use the one that works best and don't really give any consideration to stuff like whether the company does ads.

I've got chrome and firefox with ublock installed. If chrome gets ad plastered I'll probably go firefox more. I presently get forced back to chrome if there's a foreign language comment on X/itter. I haven't figured how to translate those on ff.

"Devin" is a substantive which is used as a first name in the Celtic world. Pretty sure it's used here because of its meaning.
Or attempts to access any place not usually accessed. Wiring in general, but also questionable devices connected to networking or phone lines, if there is those around...
Some web apps are optimized for Chrome or even require Chrome. Though most of the apps I use don't have ads. I use Firefox for general browsing, and occasionally Chrome for development or for using trusted apps.
As i said.. are they going to steal peoples laptops and flippers? Why bother commenting, if you're just going to focus on two words and ignore the rest.

My home is too small for me to have such a problem.
I took a very similar course, and we were taking a course in Rendering at the same time. Most people in my year ended up using their physics simulations to demo their rendering and vice versa.

I went down the route of fracture & deformation rather than fluid sim route, and ended up implementing [0] (or, some amount of it. As you mentioned, the numerical stability aspect is tough).

I've been prototyping an isometric browser game, and the approach I took was to draw an explicit interactive grid of divs on top of the isometric tiles with CSS affine transforms to get each to fit its respective tile surface dimensions. OnHover, et. al. follow this transform perfectly.

It took me a while to get the transform figured out, but once you do you are basically done for an entire tile set. This is also robust to vertical/horizontal overflow of tile art. The browser gives you reasonable ways to get at the various coordinate systems. You can either take the screen space coords directly or inverse transform them to get the orthographic (i.e. purely top-down) tile coords.

Modern web browser tech is really something to behold. It's maybe the best game engine if you hold it right. There are some crazy things you can do in the browser in 5 minutes that are completely infeasible everywhere else. For example, what if some of the tiles are x264 video files and not just static PNGs? What if we also mix in tiles that are drawn using webgl/canvas at each frame update? We could have the client itself handle rendering of tiles using scene descriptions received from the server.
Agreed. A lot of my background is in banking / fintech. So much scrambling on "adhoc analytics" can be avoided if you have really well constructed, standard reports and dashboards.

The department I started my career at didn't have this and every exec request was a bespoke, adhoc request, tailored to answer that one question. I spent many late nights writing SQL and building excel files / powerpoints to answer a single question.

When I started at a fintech as the first data person, we built a few primary dashboards where you could drill down for detail. Those answered over 80% of the questions people asked.
Their starship was bullshit. On earth they needed a big Saturn 5 like rocket to bring it into space and later they fly into orbit like it's nothing.

If the planets they visited had much lower gravity then earth this may be possible, but this wasn't noticeable or talked about. And even on Mars you need much more fuel to get into orbit than could be stored in their tiny ship.
My ex-wife was constantly losing nail clippers. My solution was to buy a box of 50 of them and put them everywhere.
That might be obvious to a security/cryptography person, but it is not obvious to a physicist.

The physicist will see "totally confidential channel" as a great useful application. Because he lacks the knowledge that a confidential channel is totally useless without authentication. At best, the authentication will be hand-waved away in the grant application as "out of scope" or "future work".

Show HN: Built an AI-powered tool to automate video testimonials
Hey HN,

I’m a solofounder and i just launched Vibeo.

Vibeo is a tool to help you collect video testimonials in few clicks.

You create a campaign, ask your questions and get a link that you can send to your customers. They'll be able to answer on video.

I built that because all the solutions to collect video testimonials were super expensive and i needed something with a free plan.

I hope my tool will be as helpful to you as it is for me in my other business.

Would love your feedback <3

Another alternative is MacPorts. I've been using it since my first Mac (8 years ago), and haven't found a reason to change.
That... makes more sense, actually. But, if they want to prevent something like that from happening again, they have to take a look at every room in every hotel whenever there is an event going on that could be targeted - which, in Las Vegas, I think is pretty much all the time?
If they find flippers where they shouldn’t be, you will be contacted by hotel security for a talk, yes, that’s how this works.

Hotels don’t steal or seize things. You will politely asked to vacate if they don’t like what you do.

Unspun is cool! I hadn’t heard of it before. They provide 3D weaving on demand, according to the site, which is the “other” clothes manufacturing technique — knitting is how, e.g. a sweater or more finely made t-shirts would be made, and the structure of the ties and loops in knitting provides that ‘stretch’. Weaving on the other hand shouldn’t stretch much, and would be used for, say, your curtains, jeans, or a dress that needs to fit exact sizes.

There are Japanese (and probably other) 3D in the round knitting providers, but I hadn’t heard of weaving done on demand and to spec — that’s pretty amazing.

There's always the chance of some idiot who thinks they're going to take down society with nmap and metasploit. The hotel's safe, but I'd be worried about some other legitimate customers getting mixed up in it.

Though I also really don't want to be the one reviewing reports from housekeeping. "Yes, that's a laptop running hacky stuff, because it's a speaker rehearsing slides. Not a visually identical laptop running visually identical tools against slightly different numbers."
Most house batteries use LFP. They do not contain rare earths. I've never checked, but I presume that's true for grid scale batteries too as the cost per kWh stored is roughly the same LCM, but LFP last for an order of magnitude more cycles (and weigh more, which isn't a concern for grid storage).
I was worried at first that they used a broken coffee machine and had candidates make their own cup of coffee, and observed "how they handled the situation". If and only if they broke out a set of repair tools did they get invited back for a second round.

The imginary method outlined in the article might actually be worse.

They really could save a lot of time and effort by laying all the CVs out on the table and getting a Dowsing stick and using it to find the best candidate.
If you're buying a large quantity of them for a product the license fees can certainly be relevant (As can, e.g. the number of pins on the package). I suspect it's there for that kind of customer.
Same feedback as everyone else: You fell into the trap of assuming that everyone else understands this topic/project/thing that you're deeply familiar with because you've been living it for so long.

Not everyone knows what "OSM" is.

Onlyfans is not sex work, it is infinitely more sinister. Most "models" there sell facades of human contact to the extremely deprived who have nowhere else to go to. It is adjacent to drug sellers selling to homeless street beggars and turning them into perpetual miserable cash cows.

One of the many things I find inspiring about Julia is how quick she is to admit to mistakes she has made or things that she hasn't understood.

Agreed. I think 90%+ of the complaints people have about technical blog posts would go away if authors were more willing to admit what their blog post is really for and what their limitations are.

Writing an "Ultimate Guide to X" as a learning experience is fine if you admit that (and, ideally, use a more humble title) but pretending to be a long time expert in framing when someone isn't leads to problems and a poor reputation. You, too, are fantastic at framing your content properly, and have a great reputation amongst people I know for it.
We have crash tests in the rest of the world too, and Kei-cars match the specs.

But the difference on this side of the big wet bit is that we attribute a big percentage of the safety score to pedestrian safety too - something Americans don't care about.
Extremely deluded and tone-deaf take.
It could happen. People have been predicting it for years, and many think that it is only a matter of time. For a vision from 1982 of how it could happen, see: <https://books.google.com/books?id=6f8VqnZaPQwC&pg=PA167>

Consider the following scenario. We are living in 1997, and the world of office automation has finally arrived. Powerful computers that would have filled a room in 1980 now fit neatly in the bottom of drawer of every executive’s desk, which is nothing more than heavy glass plate covering an array of keyboards, screens, and color displays.

— The Network Revolution: Confessions of a Computer Scientist; Jacques Vallee, 1982
Do you know which BIOS/microcode you were running before updating to 0x129? Multicore workload should never hit anywhere near 1.55V which is the cap from 0x129, and 13700K should be capable of doing 5.4GHz at 1.3V even with the worst bin, so it's a bit strange to see this 20% performance hit on CB.

If this is compared to <= 0x123 (before the introduction of "Intel Default Settings") then this drop may be attributed to low AC Load Line configuration in previous configuration, which essentially undervolting the CPU out-of-the-box. >= 0x125 BIOS usually bumped this up/lower this down to Intel's recommendation. It could be very possible that AC_LL is setting too high on the MSI board after the fix.

It's still very strange though, even if AC_LL is the culprit, that 253W is running 20% slower than 125W. For what it's worth, I have two systems running 13900K and 13700K both with ASRock board, and I see no difference in MT performance with 1-2% drop in ST (though 13700K is running with PL1=PL2=125W, but that shouldn't affect ST).
Yes, that’s what they do. The change here is just making it daily instead of every couple of day and reminding staff to scrupulously apply the usual policy as previously stated. Plus a bunch of pictures of what network equipments look like so they know.
90 is okay, when I did years ago I was on 300+ but it doesn't really state which zoom level is available.

Is it not pass-by-reference by some technicality? In the mutation example you suggest, if a reference to x isn't being passed into foo, how could foo modify x?

I would sooner believe the example is showing you shadowing the z argument to foo, than foo being able to modify the in-parameter sometimes even if it's pass by value.
DEFCON conference attendees have a history of hacking hotel room keys, property management systems, filling pools with bubbles and doing all kind of mostly harmless but annoying shenanigans in hotels they reside during the conference. The conferences have changed a lot but something always happens.

The right policy would be to always respect customer privacy and if they can't be trusted to behave, refuse them.
In Sweden, the ban is on men (or anyone, but almost only men in practice) looking for paid sexual encounters. As a woman (or man), you're free to sell sex. But if you pay someone for sex, you're committing an offence and can get jail time. The implicit assumption is that only someone in a very vulnerable position would sell their bodies (or worse, be forced into doing that by very bad people), and hence they don't deserve punishment, they just need help to get into a better situation.

This solution basically means law-abiding citizens who suffer from mental or physical conditions that make it virtually impossible to find a voluntary, willing sex partner are going to be cut off from being able to enjoy sexual pleasures for their whole lives. I suppose that this (and the fact of knowing this) may cause their condition to worsen significantly.

In practice, those who can just go to Germany or the Netherlands to use a legal prostitute, or Thailand (for example) if they want a long term partner.

Those who can't are left to their own devices. Unfortunately, comparing figures about sexual crime between countries is notoriously difficult, so it's not possible to make a clearcut case for whether that impacts , but it's not hard to imagine there may be a correlation.

Anyway, I wonder how the Swedish system sees Onlyfans. Does it consider the men who are buying these services from the "vulnerable models" the bad guys in this story? Should they be punished? Do they believe only vulnerable women are on Onlyfans, and that most of them probably were forced into it by some bad men? I honestly want to know what they are thinking.
I haven’t followed this but it sounds like the internet is about to become unbearable from chrome.

Alcohol was a tool for social gatherings long before its narcotic tendencies came to be established. For better or worse it has been a part of generations of human societal growth. Unlike alcohol, other narcotics like gaming, social media, fantasy forums, cocaine, methamphetamines etc don't bring people together, instead push them away and latch on as parasites making it their hosts only goal to obtain more of themselves.

What happened in the past was the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting [1] - the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in American history. It was conducted by shooting out of a hotel room window. The shooter had 24 guns and over a thousand rounds of ammunition in the hotel room - which went unnoticed partly because the guest put up the 'do not disturb' sign.

The hotel owners have presumably decided that the high-probability-minor-damage risk to their business from a few paranoid types avoiding their hotel is not as great as the very-low-probability-enormous-damage risk from a copycat mass shooting.

And so, ignoring the do-not-disturb sign and snooping on guests' rooms is the norm in Vegas these days.

And if they happen to have a large block booking of particularly privacy-conscious people and so a noticeable fraction of the rooms are declining maid service, I can understand why they'd want to be ready to carry out some supplemental checks.
