Interestingly, there was a technical bump or glitch in the Unity Engine. A feature that no user would normally have any control over, that caused a bump that made it all the way from the D23 footage to the final film. Every once in awhile the Unity Engine clears our any unneeded data or assets from the Engine.

Unfortunately, when this random function, deep in the code called ‘garbage collection’ ran it could cause a tiny pause in the smooth movement of the master Unity Camera. One such ‘bump’ happens in a shot in the D23 trailer. After the trailer was complete, the team discovered what the issue was and fixed it. But even when the shot was redone much later, this ‘bump’ is still in the final camera move, just because Rob Legato liked the feel of the recorded natural move, even with the bump. For the creative team, ironically given its causes, it just felt natural.

Immigration enforcement is the most prominent today probably.

Local police can arrest anyone for illegally crossing US border and can arrest someone for being undocumented(where not banned by state law), they are just not obligated to by federal law or US constitution.
I'm almost always in the office. I basically only work from home when I'm going to do something that isn't work where it would be inconvenient for me to leave the office. Like if I have a dentist appointment at 11 am, or the daycare has some event at 2pm... That sort of stuff. It's not that I mind working from home, it's that I prefer working with people. That doesn't mean I don't get "quick calls" though. Even from people in the building... I guess that maybe some of the "quick calls" from people who work from home may actually be because they're a tad lonely now that I think about it.

It takes 15 minutes on a bike to get to my office though. When it took me an hour I worked from home quite a lot.
In the case of stringed instruments, equal temperament isn't the only compromise; there is also stretched tuning, which seeks to match the harmonics (rather than the fundamentals) of harmonically related strings to one another (in a mechanical system where the harmonics are neither perfect integer ratios of the fundamental nor constant ratios across all of the strings).
I did a PS1 project for GGJ 2024 and found it rather difficult to do in the 2 days I allocated! I did get as far as building and running and used the ps1n00b. I'm the end I was able to burn a CD and launch into a 3D environment where you could fly around a checkerboard flat plane. Very exhausting but fun.

Next time I'll budget more time for a PS1 project, especially 3D even if my original goal was just a simple flight around some very simple terrain I barely got anything working. Nevertheless it was magical to see the project boot on real hardware!
I thought getting cute with import-hooks was probably the most creative possible way to get fired, but I see now that this was naive. My only regret is that the codec regex probably prevents using stuff like "μtf8" to really troll people properly, so now I'm going to have to use import hooks, preprocessors, and sys.settrace to monkey-patch every function to the previously called one, while swapping stdout and stderr every 17 minutes.
But isn't the screen totally useless without a sub? I don't know enough about Peloton, but I thought you couldn't really do much with it other than ride the thing without subscribing. I guess a jailbreak for the screen (is it Android?) could be pretty useful if you want to put an entirely different UI on the thing and use it with alternatives.

They have different strengths and weaknesses, and natural product pathways often naturally combine steps from both. I'm not sure how technical to make this, but from your username and comments I will assume I can make it pretty technical.

Some of the advantages of PKSs (both for bioengineering, and for the microbes using them to make molecules):

-Rapid evolution and/or engineering modifications: the predictable relationship between the DNA and resulting chemical structure means you can reliably change the DNA and know what will happen to the chemical structure. This reconfigurability is also useful for microbes- they can duplicate or delete regions of DNA to create new variants, such as new antibiotics when their competition develops resistance.

-You can change a part of the molecule without having to have anything unique in that region that an enzyme will recognize to act in the right spot- because a specific region of the assembly line relates to a specific part of the final product.

-Avoids a lot of the issues of enzyme promiscuity in engineered pathways, to make something really different from what exists naturally while reusing natural domains. Although PKS domains can be selective, can be promiscuous and still work (and many natural ones are), because the physical configuration of the PKS will only present them with the right substrate at the right time

-Overcomes lots of issues with reactant concentrations, and thermodynamics. Because the substrate is physically tethered, it is channeled right to the reaction site, and then snatched away afterwards- effectively simulating a very high reactant concentration, and a low product concentration, allowing reactions to occur in the right direction, that wouldn't otherwise be favorable/spontaneous

-Precise control over stereochemistry

There are also NRPSs, which are similar to PKSs, but make peptides instead of polyketides...
A Program for a Different Model of AI Development
This post is part of a collection of loose thoughts (read as very, very contained blog ig) that I've put together as I get ready to leave university and decide what to do with my life. The rest of the series can be found here: https://utilityhotbar.github.io/signal_flare/

I hope this will be of some interest to people here :)
First of all, I could have interpreted this incorrectly, and if I did so - I apologize.

However, I think the parent tried (and seemingly failed) to convey the idea that the use of certain euphemism is intended to affect public opinion among the outsiders rather than the minority group in question.

In other words, it's not for disabled (or any other group) but the rest of the society, meant to change public opinion through removal (by avoiding use of terms that evoke those associations) of harmful stereotypes, thus the weird language. The meaningful purpose of virtue signalling is not to comfort oneself into how nice human one is, but to establish a societal norm by sending this "we're all considering ourselves decent folks here and we aren't looking down on $group, right y'all?" peer-pressurizing social message. Which is, of course, fake, but the idea is that given enough time it ends up becoming true. Generations change, young people don't have inherent biases, so they end up ingesting whatever is around them, which is the reason, I guess. Again, this is just my understanding of it trying to rationalize the idea (my logic is "it can't be just something stupid, right, someone must've thought it through?"), so I could be totally making things up.

Of course, I can't say this is all working as intended. Surely, not well, given how it feels offensive to the actual $group (like the example of calling a person disabled in this thread; or I've yet to see a Latin person who wouldn't frown at "latinx" linguistic nonsense, etc.), so it doesn't look like a great idea overall.

I have been privileged enough to only be discriminated based on my nationality and ethnic group (rather than more permanent things), so I have limited experience here. Just trying to figure it out and make an opinion of it.
>...you cannot get the bends if you're not breathing.

Whether you are breathing is not fundamentally the issue - what matters is what gases you have in your lungs, under what pressure, and for how long. If you have nitrogen in your lungs, it will diffuse into your bloodstream, and thence to tissues, until the partial pressures are equalized. This is not normally a problem for free divers - even most deep free divers - because the combination of time and pressure are not great enough, but it seems that Nitsch might have crossed a line here.

I tried doing a back-of-envelope calculation to see if this seemed plausible. No-decompression limits in dive tables for air breathing bottom out at 5 minutes at about 60 m, and while the depth cutoff is presumably set by nitrogen narcosis and/or oxygen toxicity, it is clear that nitrogen absorption is quickly reaching the bends-risk level (for comparison, this dive reached a depth of 253m and lasted about 4 1/2 minutes.)

There are several factors to be taken into consideration. Firstly, Nitsch's lungs would have been considerably collapsed at depth, and so presumably less-effective at gas transfer. secondly, dive tables are conservative. On the other hand, though, they are based on the tissues in which the diffusion is slowest (if it was effectively instantaneous, there would be no risk of the bends on ascent) and assume the diver is ascending slowly even when they are not taking decompression stops, so maybe in Nitsch's case, the problem arose in different, faster-diffusing tissue (neural tissue?) than that on which the tables are based.

Given all this, I'm inclined to believe Nitsch's own claim that he had a case of decompression sickness from this dive.
Really short answer: Because the GUIs for mail SW are just not that great. It's been a long time since I used something like Thunderbird, but for the webmails I use, as well as Outlook at work - both tend to have inferior UIs than a good TUI.[1]

Another short answer: A lot of people prefer to use the keyboard. While it's true you can do a lot of keyboard navigation in some GUIs, but they still tend to be inferior to what you can do in a GUI.

Another answer: Performance. GUIs in general are laggy.

Another answer: What are my choices for GUIs for local mail? I always store mail locally on my PC and use a mail SW to interact with them.

Fundamentally, GUI developers optimize for different things compared to TUI developers.

Finally:

> but why would you want to use a terminal interface when a GUI is so much easier?

I think you'll find that the HN crowd values a few things higher than "ease". Yes, GUIs tend to be easier. Just like using IFTT is easier than writing code. Yet, many people prefer to write code.

[1] I mean OK, perhaps for a thing or two they're better, but not overall.

I sit here with a variety of gas-powered vehicles and tools and I agree 100% with you. I was actually seriously thinking of buying a battery powered snowblower last winter, even though I have an ATV with a snow blade and a garden tractor with a snowblower. And I can easily buy ethanol-free gas at the nearest gas station.

I'm just sick of the periodic maintenance needed with small, carbureted engines. I rarely even use my chainsaw anymore; I'd rather use the battery powered reciprocating saw with a tree blade, even though it takes longer. It's quieter and I don't to worry about how old the gas is.
You're being pedantic. It's a distinction without a difference. The OP said, "AppStore came out of iTunes and has always been part of services under Eddy Cue", but it's actually been a very long time since Cue was in charge of the App Store. Schiller became the head of the App Store while he was still SVP of marketing and continues to be the head of the App Store today.

App Store is absolutely organized under marketing at Apple. Not under Joz, as I've already said, but under Schiller. Both are marketing. "Apple Fellow" is a euphemism, a term of marketing!

If I would have said on August 3, 2020 that the App Store is within the marketing department, there would have been no dispute. The only change on August 4, 2020 was that Schiller gave up some of his responsibilities to Joz, but Schiller still retained some, such as the App Store.

App Store is not under Eddie Cue and services. It's not under Craig Federighi and software engineering. It's not under Apple Product Security. It's not under Jeff Williams and operations. What would you call it, if not marketing?

For reference, Schiller became head of the App Store in 2015: https://techcrunch.com/2015/12/17/apple-promotes-jeff-willia...
What's the best way to provide a new EC2 instance with a fast ~256GB dataset directory? We're currently using EBS volumes but it's a pain to do updates to the data because we have to create a separate copy of the volume for each instance. EFS was too slow. Instance storage SSDs are ephemeral. Haven't tried FSx Lustre yet.
The problem with data comes in two parts. First, data is inherently abstractive and abstractions are leaky. And second, we have culturally elevated data to a truth beyond what we can see with our own eyes.

Or, to paraphrase Douglas Adams: "The data is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate."

Because abstractions are leaky, it's easy to create false apparent patterns in data. And when the data is trusted more than the reality it is supposed to describe, those false apparent patterns become unfalsifiable, because the only way to falsify them is the data that created them in the first place.

The goal to avoid human bias and compensate for human fallibility is a good one. So I don't think that "data" is a bad idea. What I think is that data is a tool, to be used alongside intuition and experiment, as a means for understanding the world. If your beliefs are wildly inconsistent with the data, it is worth asking why and lowering your confidence in those beliefs (but you need not immediately abandon them). If your beliefs are consistent with the data, it's worth asking what other beliefs might be. If you did an experiment and predicted one set of observations but observed another, that's proof that at a minimum your prediction failed (even if your theory was not a bad one), and that deserves investigation. These are legitimate uses of data.
Indeed. Thanks. The so-called secret-sharing algo if I am not mistaken.-

No. They'd have to come down not wearing suits.
Time to place your bets on the spectrum of:

1. It'll forever remain promises and PR.

2. No implementation, but they'll start soliciting "supporter pre-deposits", which will somehow be non-refundable.

3. [Edit] Enough implementation to enable a rug-pull. (Everyone buys fresh crypto, excitement builds, they tell their friends, then company vanishes taking all the hard cash.)

4. Enough implementation for pump-and-dumping. (Insider owns crypto bought for for pennies, draws in excited dupes, sells at inflated price. Possible to repeat until people catch on.)

Is this backwards? A cost center is something that (management believes) doesn't makes money, only spends it. A profit center is something that (management believes) makes money AND spends it. The former is (in this framing) pure cost, to be cut to the bone, while the latter gets more leeway since it is an "investment". In reality, I think the causality works the other way: stuff management wants to cut is defined as a cost center (requiring cost cutting), while stuff management wants to spend money on is defined as a profit center (requiring investment).

> The logic is sound in the case intrastate actions have interstate consequences.

No, it isn't, because Article I, Section 8 does not say that Congress can regulate anything that might have "interstate consequences" for commerce. It only says Congress can regulate interstate commerce.

> It wasn't the first time these kind of controls had been passed either.

I know that. But it was a well know Supreme Court ruling whose disconnection from what the Constitution actually says should be obvious (and that observation is certainly not original with me).

> So it IS an inextricable part of it

Labor is, but that doesn't mean employment is. Labor is not the same thing as employment. A person can produce goods or services that are traded in interstate commerce without employing anyone.

Your post is a great example of the NAXALT fallacy.

On the whole, he's right. There are some people who can't have kids because they're too busy managing companies and employing dozens of workers, but such people are a very small fraction of the populace.

...And even that, I'd suggest, is cope. Lots of extremely successful people have children. They just hire nannies, utilize daycares, get grandparents involved, etc. It can be done.
There's a perspective from which FDR's attempt to pack the court did work: He didn't expand the court, but the credible threat that he would do so got the justices to back off on blocking the New Deal policies he was implementing.
You have more money to dick around with. More money means different types of opportunities, making it less boring. You can keep occupying yourselves with things other than having children.

There’s still some sense of “I should have children to survive in my later years” in developing countries. Not really needed for richer ones where things have established and you can get support in times of needs.
Shannon and Weaver distinguished between information and meaning in their book The Mathematical Theory of Communication.

to or are correlated according to some system with certain physical or conceptual entities. These semantic
aspects of communication are irrelevant to the engineering problem." - Shannon

"In particular information must not be confused with meaning" - Weaver

Yeah, that's a good point!

The 'empty' parts of the beginning of the program are actually a 'configure' phase, where the program runs a bunch of subprocesses (C compiler with small query programs) and the vm is mostly waiting for the results of that. That's why there are pauses in the coins.

On the other end, I also artificially limit the samples to 10 coins a second (iirc), because if the jit is really compiling a lot it would be just too annoying.
>It wasn't intended as a refutation but a qualification

I don't know what animates you in the conversation, but for me it is question of whether immigration of people with very different cultural backgrounds into a country has harmful effect that in the long term might cancel out the positive economic effects.

You have not explained (and I have failed to guess) how your "was also a story of immigration" sheds any light on that question.

Las Vegas is definitely something else... It's close enough that I've been in/through there several times over the years. That said, I just don't enjoy it. I used to enjoy a few good meals or a show stopping in on the way through as I like to do road trips. The customer service has sub-floored, the crowds have only grown and it's just far from even pleasant to where the show isn't worth it.

That's just my own take.
Yes. and I don't just think that's the case. I know it's the case, because I have had my phone get stolen, and been able to recover access to all accounts without using backup codes or having had multiple copies of the TOTP secrets.
Thanks for the insights!

It is certainly a tough balance for banks/fintechs -- fear of accountability vs. a clear value add. From our interactions, using AI to automate low/medium risk is welcomed. The solution can perform in a robust way and often is more accurate and better than a human (note we're improving it all the time!).

For those that are more risk averse there is another option: the Agent can just surfaces all the relevant information and then a human has to sign-off on the last onboarding action, hence making their jobs 10 times easier.

It'll be interesting to see how AI adoption unravels in the space but it's certainly showing good signs!
> modern PERSONAL email tools

The capitalized personal part there is so important! So few people today even realize what is possible, since they are captive in websites like gmail that have so very little functionality.

email was always supposed to have a 100% customizable workflow, filtering, sorting, foldering, etc.

We still have this of course, as all the old tools work. But there needs to be more awareness how great email is when used as originally intended. I'd despise email too if I believed gmail is email, but it's not.

procmail and mutt still work just fine!
I can understand that. But how can a group of people, making a freaking UI, make such fundamentally bad decisions as a group? That is what I just do not get.
You can call it detention as well, but colloquially arrest is when you're taken into police custody.
