>The problem is monopoly. Spacefaring isn’t exactly the type of work that attracts the safe and secure job for life types.

Sure, but we aren't talking about hiring astronauts (who ironically do tend to spend their entire career in government because it's the only place to get the thrills they want from fighter pilot to space).

We're talking about quality professional welders. Stereotyping them into one bucket would be silly, but I think it's fair to assume there are a large number of welders who wouldn't mind a guaranteed, high paying job with a guaranteed retirement package.

Extend that to like 90% of the jobs required to make a spaceship...
They do this in here in their natural range as well.
Building a Smarter Sprinkler System
The irony of so many apps being electron wrappers is apparently lost on Apple. I'll just be happy if Teams could stop eating battery for once.

Though honestly jokes aside, this rule still doesn't make a lot of sense (to me). Webapps are capable enough. What does Uber's app, or the Google app do, that's different from their websites? Heck, even Apple's own notes app is simple enough that I'm fairly sure you could make a webapp out of it. I think tasks.org already has such a webapp/website.
You don't know where it will go, just as people didn't know the development of LLMs at all would happen. There are no real oracles to this level of detail (more vaguely in broad lines and over decades some Sci-Fi authors do a reasonable job, and they get a lot wrong).

There have been a lot of people making these sorts of claims for years, and they nearly never end up accurately predicting what will actually happen. That's what makes observing what happens exciting.
Its more like 30 lines of code without the prints. However, one generally should code generic functions for this. The k8s apimachinery module has helper functions which is useful for this sort of stuff. Ex: `NestedFieldNoCopy` and its wrapper functions.

https://github.com/kubernetes/apimachinery/blob/95b78024e3fe...

Ideally, such `nested` map helper functions should be part of the stdlib.
If you want overengineered and some street cred, instead of chaging the image to make it seem like you're looking in a new place, how about creating a virtual camera exactly where you want to look, from a 3D reconstruction??

Here's how I'd have done it in grad school a million years ago (my advisor was the computer vision main teacher at my uni)

If you have two webcams, you can put them on either side of your monitor at eye level (or half way up the monitor), do stereo reconstruction in real time (using e.g., opencv), create an artificial viewpoint between the two cameras and re-project the construction to the point that is the average of the two camera positions to create a new image. Then, feed that image to a virtual camera device. The zoom call connects to the virtual camera device. (on linux this might be as simple as setting up a /dev/ node)

It's much easier to reconstruct a little left / right of a face when you have both left and right images, than it is to reconstruct higher / lower when you have only above or below. This is because faces are not symmetric up/down.

This would work, it would be kinda janky, but it can be done realtime with modern hardware using cheap webcams, python, and some coding.

The hardest part is creating the virtual webcam device that the zoom call would connect to, but my guess is there's a pip for that.

Any imager would do, but quality would improve with:

* Synchronized capture - e.g., an edge triggered camera with, say, a rasp pi triggering capture

* Additional range information, say, from a kinnect or cell phone lidar

* A little delay to buffer frames so you can do time-series matching and interpolation
Reminds me of stuff from Van Neistat [1] where he just has repeated tools on different places. I end up doing this for cheap stuff like eye drops ie "1 for office and 1 for home". If its 1 for home and 1 on the backpack, soon I will have 2 on the wrong place (because the pattern goes like "is this the backpack one? let me take it with me just in case")

My umbrella I just AirTagged, for fun... its been surprisingly useful.

Is it really essential?

I don't feel like this ruling changes my chances of being falsely accused of a crime at all. All it really does is take away a tool police could use to find the right person.
Managers make most of those decisions and they have no idea what is achievable, reasonable or even particularly likely.
Besides from anything about CoC, your understanding of Python fork is extremely wrong. There were numerous forks and reimplementations of Python over past two decades, some of which are mature enough to be widely known to the Python community, and yet none of them were able to fully dethrone CPython because:

- Python turned out to be annoyingly dynamic, in contrast with usual instincts. This meant that even CPython itself had to sacrifice some edge-case compatibility for every release.

- Moreover, Python C API was also hard to change without breaking some extensions, which are ironically why Python got popular in the first place! Many alternative mechanisms, notably HPy, were proposed but they all fell short of replacing the current C API. Nowadays CPython is more willing to get rid of as many internal but publicly exposed APIs as possible though.

- Python has a free standard, it's located at https://docs.python.org/ and is enough to implement something that resembles Python. You probably meant the sort-of-formal standard (which also mean many different things), but the mere existence of such "standard" doesn't mean anything, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40519050

In this context, Chrome is just a browser, just like Safari is on iOS. The "problem" is less-technically-savvy folks (especially -- and ironically -- tech native youth) don't understand/care about the distinction between Apps vs a Website Bookmark/Shortcut.

That Patreon is even considering keeping the app is proof of this.

Depending on how overt Patreon's app is about ringing the alarm bells (imagine a "JUST MAKE A SHORTCUT and save 30% on everything!!!" popup) would just get them banned too, no doubt. Presumably criticizing Apple is a bannable offense.

Yes, unfortunately I've also observed that while "OSINT" is theoretically a legitimate, white-hat thing, in practice it's very often used as whitewashed branding for malicious (often "righteous") doxxing. Similar to black hats for hire forums that claim to just be about "security research"
Typical modern codes of conduct (broad, arbitrary, politically motivated) seem to me to exist solely as a case of pluralistic ignorance. Besides a few true believers - usually those that gain a sociopathic leverage through them - most everyone else only goes along with them because they think everyone else does. A collective illusion forced by social pressure - nearly no one believes in it but assumes the others do so it exists.

You can’t CoC unsavory opinions out of existence. You need to confront them by putting beliefs against each other. Otherwise it’s just another inquisition.

I keep an eye on the market of small SaaS businesses for sale. Lately a majority are something like "A simple tool that uses AI to X". I immediately skip past any company like that because that tells me that
1. the company is very young and doesn't have enough history show clear revenue trends, and
2. the product is probably a thin wrapper over ChatGPT and has no moat among a dozen other tools that do the same thing.

I have a small home studio. But I'm also really impressed by my AirPods with personalized Spatial Audio and head tracking enabled -- so I'm using them when I'm on the move. The funny thing is that I own a pair of custom Ultimate Ears Reference Remastered but I find myself using the AirPods more often because it's just more convenient (even if the UE are obviously better).
In your neighborhood, how many posts per day (or week) are typical? Are there notifications or is manually checking the forum required?
I'll vouch for this because it's not like most things that deserve to be DOA, and I'd like to see some discussion.

I think this genre direction would be listenable for me, but I'm not a person that signs up for things.

This can be done a bit like comettv.com where they have a limited number of "classic" or vintage but well loved "science fiction" series' to run repeatedly as they rotate through the properties that they have rights to stream at the time. Then they throw in the occasional older movie which they may only be obtaining rights to stream for a single weekend.

This can seem so much more repetitive than "regular" TV, but with my own private internet radio stations, over the last year of testing I find that the bar is much lower since real broadcast radio is so much more repetitive itself by comparison. I have a very different approach and trajectory than ncradio but my standard is for it to be listenable 24/7 without hundreds of artists so far, so plenty of repetitiveness is going to be there, but no more than a modern pop station on broadcast radio.

I would like to see ncradio keep on going even though I'm not quite the intended audience, just about but not quite :)
You are framing it to sound very scary when its a short lived breakdown in law and order. A lot of people involved were not motivated by any particular ideology, but were just taking the opportunity to do things like looting. There is nothing that I can see in fascist ideology that motivates people to loot a Greggs.

It is very much what the media are doing: one local news website compared what happened in their town to Kristalnacht when what happened was 12 houses had windows broken and some cars were vandalised. Nasty, but hardly a fascist takeover.

On the other hand, the media do not balance it with equally wide reporting of things such as local builders doing free repairs on mosque in Southport, or the far larger crowds that turned out for counter protests.

Crime IS a normal occurrence. Riots will happen. You should not compromise human rights to deal with it.

There are blatantly racist social media posts - FB is infested, and I agree showing such posts so widely (no doubt because they get high engagement because people feel impelled to disagree with them) shows FB in a bad light.

One alternative is using the huge footprint people have left on social media (to say nothing of phone location data) to catch the people involved.

As a brown British person the riots have not caused me any great concern (contrary to what some posturing politicians may claim). Yes, it might be different if I lived in an area very close to where a riot occurred, but most people do not. I still think the UK is a lot less racist than the other countries I have lived or worked in, or no anything about, and a lot less racist than if was when I was young.

> I've yet to see any form of measured example where architectural work actually provided a measurable net benefit for an organisation though.

These things are hard to measure, but I've seen too much of the reverse as well: over-enthusiastic developers with no feel for the customer, no understanding of the domain, and no shared vision, but perfectly happy to ruin a codebase.

Especially in the field of having a shared vision, I think a good architect can do wonders.

I tend to see an architect as a multiplier for success. A good one has value above 1, the experiences you shared might have resulted in a negative one.

Edit: actually read the article, and boy do I agree with your sentiment now :)

Literally every AI discussion on HN has the same format

> We already have (copy
whatever was just said)

For what it’s worth, when it comes to SCIENCE, I an actually in favor of AI, even giving it to everyone. Except possibly AI that would help engineer designer viruses.

Because in science, people literally ARE just doing pattern matching and testing the patterns. Kepler just looked at a bunch of star charts and found a low-dimensional explanation with ellipses. You can throw that data at an AI and it will come up with physics laws involving 24,729 variables that predict things way more accurately. Including potentially chaotic systems like weather or a three body problem etc.

So yeah, use AI for that, because you can actually check its predictions against data, and develop a reputation. We can’t really reason about theories and models of systems with 30,000 variables anyway.

If AI churns out 25 scientific models per day, the proper venue isnt publishing them on arxiv or Nature magazine. It’s testing their predictions and putting them up the same way HuggingFace does. To amass reputation and be checked against real data by multiple parties.

As a side question — is protein folding @ home dead now, since Google “solved it” with massive clusters and AI?

What about SETI@home? Why not just run AI for SETI and solve the drake equation once and for all? :)
> Flash allowed to create web experience that is extremely difficult to do with modern technologies.

Like what exactly? I played/viewed a lot of Flash content back in the day, but I don't remember anything out of the ordinary that simply isn't possible/is extremely difficult today, want to jog my memory?

There was a period of time after Flash was deprecated and web technologies weren't ready to replace it, but I think we're beyond that today, unless I'm missing something essential Flash could do.

> You can have a team of donkeys building a product and the sharpest hackers guarding it.

You could do but it's a pretty risky way to run a business. Obviously the real world often gets in the way, but a competent manager would look at that org structure and say "shouldn't we move some of those smart ppl on to the build team to catch issues before they're in prod? Seems awfully risky waiting until it's live to catch these bugs which could cause us massive financial harm"
You're right about "Sec" in DevSecOps. Unfortunately, often it’s just about being reactive monitoring. It’s true that monitoring alone doesn’t prevent incidents but rather just tells you after the fact that something has gone wrong. The real challenge is integrating proactive security measures that actually prevent incidents before they occur or measures that can help to handle the consequences, like MFA, encryption, regular backups and their testing, Disaster Recovery, etc.

Because not all code is yours. In a team, the time spent on “rabbit holes” adds up, increasing the risk of bugs. A `slower` but predictable language can lead to more consistent, maintainable code, which is often more valuable in the long run or last but not least, running in production.

They are more common in Europe, since they sold better there. (Except the Amiga 1000.)

There are also several reimplementations, either with FPGA or "real" 680x0 CPUs.

This Serena operating system fascinates me in several ways. I have said it before, but I think one very cool thing about the Amigas is how they are the missing link between "too simple" 8-bit and 16-bit DOS computers and our modern computers.

They are advanced enough to run modern(-ish) software and simple enough to be reimplemented faithfully several times over by various projects.
Flutter also exposes the semantics tree via the DOM so you can actually still target elements, but yeah if you want to target the WebGPU elements, there needs to be a new API for that, which I believe there will be in the future because a lot of WebGPU renderer are coming out, in Dart, Rust, C#, etc.
