A few years back I thought to myself hey, I used to love magazines when I was younger. I've basically completely stopped reading them or thinking about them. There are some with digital editions that are very inexpensive to subscribe to. Maybe they've got some high quality content really targeted to specific interests that I'm not finding on the web.

So I went out to take a look at some magazines both digital and print. It was immediately apparent why they are dying, and it's not just because people read everything on the web for free these days.

Every magazine I checked out was MOSTLY ads. Even during the Super Bowl, the commercials will be less than 1/3 of the total broadcast time. In the magazines the ads took up well over half of the available pages. Who in their right mind would pay money for that?

Magazines back in the day where nothing less than lavish. Elaborate foldouts of maps and photos in NatGeo. In depth strategy guides and customized demo discs on a monthly basis in video game magazines. All that is gone. The modern day magazine is a stack of ads with a few blog posts scattered throughout.

I'm going to guess it's some sort of death spiral. They lose money to the web, so they had less to invest in content and had to take more ads. That resulted in further loss of readership, and so on.

I do believe that a highly targeted and extremely high quality magazine can succeed in the present day. Of course the definition of success won't mean selling millions of copies on newsstands everywhere. It will mean having a loyal subscriber base that provides a largely flat, but sustainable, flow of revenue.
I don't know if other blockchains have these puzzles. You are correct thas this puzzle is brute forcing private keys with a bunch of zeroes, from which a public key can be calculated.

Sure -- though that's almost just two ways of describing the same thing. If teachers were paid $500k, few would describe them as overworked, and if they only had to work 4-hour days (with current salaries and benefits), they might be fairly compensated.

If activation locks didn’t exist then companies would have to pay the recyclers to shred the devices. Otherwise recyclers would actually be able to recycle them into usable parts/whole devices to sell.

Keeping that stuff off the used market has got to be a big side benefit for activation lock.
It's really a floating-point rounding issue.

It is a bug (well, a limitation), but AFAIR from my own designs, it generally only affects the low-precision, "fast" preview; in the final calculation it won't be an issue.

Nevertheless it is one of the things that is annoying as hell with the OpenSCAD previewer; constantly having to over-join to avoid it just makes the code more painful.

Coplanarity is generally a challenge in fast CAD previews.
I'm actually kinda surprised they went with SQLite here, log messages are the trivialest data format and there's no way you can't beat SQLite's speed by just not having database logic in the middle at all. Just being able
to BYOAllocator for the logs themselves with such predictable linear memory usage would make this thing scream.
A crappy, self-improving function with a decent feedback loop (survival) can get pretty far given 100s of millions of years with hundreds of million (or trillions) of concurrent experiments running at the same time. The time scale of life is the hardest element to comprehend.
lol. What a solution. Maybe learn how to use a proper DB. Research science is like 14 years behind the times. I was amazed at the SciPy24 conference how almost no data scientists use DBs. Wild. Pandas is your friend here and can at least help you with json stuff. Using excel though, yeesh. Yeah the problem isn’t excel, it’s bad training on data handling from schools.
It’s plausible to do this on device. We were discussing this product concept 8 years ago at one of the video/AI companies I was at. Between the relatively low res of thermal cameras and the cues you can get from various sensors about orientation it should be doable.
China has drastic restrictions on the ability of foreign nations to operate within its domestic economy. Those drastic restrictions in various formulations have been in place for essentially eternity.

That spans from general context like real-estate, to specific context like social networks or search (eg Google and Facebook), to infrastructure (eg AWS), to Disney not being allowed to own its own parks, to McDonald's not being allowed to operate its own restaurants. In fact it's so bad, it's the exceptionally rare case where a business is allowed to own & operate its business fully in China.

When McDonalds can't even operate their restaurants in your country properly, you're blatantly on a particularly bad list of very authoritarian nations.

The opposite is overwhelmingly true in the US. You are free, at any time, to set up and fully own a business within the US (as a foreigner). You can even pick the state based on legal structural preferences. Almost anyone on HN can do it whenever they feel like it, it's fairly simple all things considered.

The US is a nation that allowed companies like Toyota to come in and hammer the domestic competition. It allowed foreign operators to hammer huge domestic employers in industries such as steel. The US has far more often than not tended to allow very friendly access to its gigantic market.

The mistake the US has made for decades is to go too easy on China in regards to how they block access to their domestic market. This is the era of reciprocation, as such China should be increasingly blocked from easy access to foreign markets until they reciprocate and open up access to their economy.
I see the correct URL, dang probably fixed it.
> that doesn't mean someone can magically transport the data.

The drone (and controller) needs internet connectivity to download firmware updates. The drone and controller both have wifi and both automatically connect to wifi when it's available.

> Sounds as harmful as a calculator.

More like a wifi-enabled calculator that self-installs firmware updates, and whose every use is controlled and tracked by a Chinese company who operates at the mercy of the Chinese government.
Major Chinese security camera brands like Hikvision and Dahua have also been banned from critical infrastructure. They can be at least isolated at network level; more complex devices like drones usually require cloud connection to function.

Your statement is hard to understand because it claims nothing and is extremely pretentious, of course it gets downvoted.

What you describe is akin to Camus's Absurd, but you chose to fill in the weirdness of existence with some kind of spirituality. That's your choice. Please don't go around claiming to be morally superior to "99.99%" of all humans on earth.
I think he missed at least one group: pathologists.
It makes sense over a 5-10 year time horizon. This will necessitate the formation of domestic DJI competitors, which will eventually be critical wartime infra.
Eh idk if that’s true.

Think about the drama that was the recent rust for Linux lead resigning. People then have their opinions about it and then it spills into the comments here.

I think you just care less about the social media drama as described in the submission (which is ok).
Free market lol
Magazines, especially trade press, always had a huge volume of ads. We used to joke when I was a full-time industry analyst that the computer trade press mostly formulaically (including getting quotes from some analyst or other) was about filling the "ad hole."

I do pay for a couple of expensive magazine/newspaper subscriptions but mostly I just have so many other options that I'm mostly not even going to skim a magazine cover to cover.
When did I make the claim I am morally superior? I just said most humans are in sleep mode. Even if I said that it's pointless. It's just a belief and not truth.

Also as I said in other comments till you experience a shift none of this makes sense to you. That's okay.

Rather, those are the contents of mind that are illuminated by consciousness, which is Divine, Luminous, and Unified and ever present.
In FPV communities, DJI is considered the closed/proprietary ecosystem that locks you in. Even their product lines are not exactly compatible with each-other.

You can pick up Walksnail-protocol or HDZero-protocol goggles for ~$500 new, and HD 4k drones compatible with them like Caddx Gofilm 20 for $400 - and connect any controller which uses an open-source ELRS protocol.

Granted, all of the hardware is manufactured in China I'm sure - but the software is miles apart.
Deliverability continues to be the driving decisions for most of these Odysseys. I don't think it will ever change until

A) Some sort of proof of work system (or captcha) is accepted at the Gmail/outlook servers

B) We move to some sort of non ASN based reputation system.

I don't think the will exists to solve this, email is as commodified as it can be.
Larger venus also have a problem with delay, since longer runs are needed. I can’t remember how they deal with that though.
From "2 Related Work":

> None of these data structures can provide a non-probabilistic upper bound on the number of items per vertex. This hampers efficient implementation; and adversarial data suppliers can trivially produce n items in O(n) expected time that must all be stored in the same vertex.

And "4.3 Novel G-Trees":

> Our analysis confirmes that — with high probability — the resulting trees are of logarithmic height and their G-nodes store O(k) items.
>
> The second key insight toward an efficient k-ary data structure is, paradoxically, that there is no need to be clever about it. Sorted linked lists are naïve, inefficient data structures, yet zip trees are efficient. We can be similarly naïve for our k-ary construction.
>
> We use a sorted linked list in which every node stores up to k items. We require all items to be stored as early in the list as possible; this is the simplemost way of achieving history-independence. In other words, the only node to store fewer than k items is the final node. We call such a list a k-list (see Figure 9).

To me it's not obvious why an adversarial data supplier can't produce items that all need to go into the same G-node. Sure, it can be transformed into a k-ary data structure by partitioning the items across n/k nodes, but I don't see how that's better than a linked list.

So this makes me wonder: how is this approach any better than a Prolly tree? I see it being mentioned twice in this article, but the comparison doesn't go into detail.
Trust and rapport are gained in time, often in short order. Small artifacts of evidence should generally prove to the bean counter that they are cutting checks for something!
It’s a great question. I have come up with two answers (though I am far from an expert):

1) this is empirically verifiable; just do an RCT where you teach people a meditation technique for attention without prompting, and see what they observe. (I have heard comments from aspiring meditators like “I tried meditating but after a while I could not find “the breath” because it broke apart into a stream of individual sensations”) - but I do worry that techniques like “noting” smuggle in an atomizing assumption, whereas other techniques like whole-body perception or Metta might lead you to a more unifying viewpoint if practiced exclusively.

2) maybe it doesn’t matter if it’s “more fundamental”; if you wire your brain to deeply believe that it is, then a bunch of positive effects occur, and that’s the goal of the whole exercise. The words “this is more fundamental” are just a cue to help you to shift. This feels less palatable to me but I haven’t seen the rewards, and if they were as good as promised maybe this would be justified.

Anyway, I’m not sure many Buddhists would endorse 2), even among the secular / non-religious/ scientific minority of the community.

Monocultures exist mainly to facilitate our current state-of-the-art mechanisation, so the short answer to your question is "yes", with the possible exception of grains (who grow naturally in clumps).

But as the sibling comment pointed out, sufficiently advanced robotics will be prohibitively expensive for a long time ahead. I'd like to think that one day in the distant future a team of robotic "monkeys" can go out and harvest only the perfectly ripe oranges from a plot of diverse mixed vegetation. We are already starting to see this for tomato harvesting in greenhouses, so it's not completely unfounded.

As for cattle, the good news is even the free range ones are surprisingly quite automated already. The dairy cows can milk themselves with robots, and the cow fitbits are quite effective at identifying the ones who need vet attention.
Thank you. I appreciate the answer.

This is part of the reason why vehicles need to also be taxes based on pollution. But road-wear needs to be compensated too. It's worth mentioning that in the US, plenty of ICE vehicles weigh more than a typical EV. Honda Pilot, Toyota Sienna, etc.. etc...

> Probably, they exist but are just kept proprietary.

So your theory is that this is an excellent design, but for some reason all of the implementations are proprietary and by chance we never saw any of them in the years since.

Is the alternative hypothesis too obvious to spell out? This is a bad design, Bloomberg got the thing they wanted baked into the C++ ISO document so it's a success for that team but nothing more.

Big pieces of the PMR design rely on an old C++ fallback which isn't available in (safe) Rust. Undefined Behaviour. This simplifies implementation greatly of course, you just don't need to care about those cases at all, even if they're widespread, since you said they were "Undefined Behaviour" so it's not your fault when everything catches fire. And it looks like it simplifies end user code too, their code is often faulty of course, but it compiles and if you get lucky it doesn't blow up at runtime.
I changed the title a bit from Aras’s original because I felt that the original title wasn’t as clear. Hopefully that’s okay with folks.

Aras does a lot of great deep dives into optimizing graphics programs and this one focuses on optimizing the performance of Debug builds for Blender.

I am pleasantly surprised how well Clang performs here, but conversely shocked at how poor MSVC is doing.
Does DJI have any serious competition?
>The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student. However, this was an improvement over previous models, whose capability was closer to an actually incompetent graduate student.

Appreciate the no fucks given categorization of grad students.
Is this a "puzzle"? Throwing compute at brute-forcing a random number doesn't seem like solving a puzzle to me, it's basically how bitcoin works.
I abandoned 3D art after witnessing DALL-E 2's capabilities, and I've observed the ripple effects across creative fields. Initially, photographers and fellow artists dismissed AI as a non-threat. That turned out to be misguided optimism. Now, with Midjourney producing such impressive work, the majority of us have become largely obsolete. These days, I'm noticing developers exhibiting the same denial. From my perspective, they're on a similar trajectory. This AI revolution is impacting creative and technical industries far more rapidly and dramatically than most anticipated..
Ok lol. I mean just feed it serge lang problems and see what it does is all he’s saying.

It performs way better than undergrads. Funny he didn’t point that out but only made some slight to it about being a bad graduate student. Don’t believe me, open the book and ask away. It’s amazing, even if it is a “mediocre graduate student” which is far better than a good graduate student or professor that gives you no help or time for all that money you forked over.

It’s already worth the money, ignore this shitty write up by someone they doesn’t need its help.
It is impossible to do if the network has privacy.

In a text-only network for instance somebody could take an image file for instance and encode it as text (hex dump, base64, etc.). For that matter in the 1970s people would print “images” using text characters on a line printer and although mainframes are said to have ‘no graphics capabilities’ you will see plenty of EBCDIC art on 3270 terminals.

If you had no privacy all the above behaviors could be punished but with privacy you can’t really stop people from using a network the wrong way. This model used for networking is quite flawed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

but brings out that networking can be seen a number of distinct concerns and that the content you send over it is distinct from the transportation.

You might like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_Sys...

which would be impractical to send multimedia content over because it is low performance and would be dismissed out of hand by ‘cypherpunks’ because privacy is forbidden by law. So is using it for e-commerce.

All kinds of networks are possible, but networks have ‘network effects’ such that the value that people get out of a network is an increasing function of how many people are attached to it. Even networks compatible with the present internet such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

because even informed people will hesitate to spend time or money on something that only has hypothetical benefits to them.

Nothing stops you from forming a network with a small number of friends except for the practical aspects such as having a physical connection. If you are close in space you can maybe use a radio link like WiFi or runs wires but if your friends are in another city your best bet is to make an

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlay_network

which lets you impose your own rules on top of the economically viable network we share. Since most of the cost of internet service is ‘the last mile’, a connection to your network is going to cost around $40 a month when a connection to the internet costs $50. Few people are going to decide the new network is so good that it replaces the internet so it is a matter of adding a $40 bill to get access to sending text with a few people and having access to an honest but understocked store. The cost to create that store is the same as creating a store that serves thousands or millions more users so it will either not be invested in or pass costs on the users. Such a thing is exclusive, not inclusive, by nature, although that may be the point.
If authorities say that some cave ecosystem is really fragile and could be damaged by litter, well this is a reasonable hypothesis. I'll buy it.

The article sets the outcome with a terrifying "corn flour could have triggered chaos", but without providing links to research that will support this hypothesis. Meanwhile, I'm being required to provide links to a negative outcome research, or to flash a ridiculous license to think.

Well, If you want the proof, is in the fact that this ecosystems still exist. Existed for millions of years.

Despite the number of bones found on caves all around the planet,

Or the fact that people makes cheese on caves since thousands of years,

Or that the surface waters carrying bacteria, algae and viruses pass through caves...

... Despite this, nobody has seen a cave disappear after being filled with mold. Somehow, the surplus of mold disappears from this ecosystems. How?

The empirical experience show us that ecosystems poor in nutrients are boosted locally when they receive an external supply of carcasses or organic garbage. As long as is a reasonable amount, the ecosystem can deal with it. This garbage just provided dinner for the cave crickets that are preyed by spiders later. The most probable outcome will be: "more endangered crickets and more unique spiders". The science of Ecology has studied the concept of stress on ecosystems thoroughly: Some stress increases biodiversity; too much is bad.

You could say: "but people could be trowing too much garbage here!".

Yep. But "could be happening" is not the same thing as "is happening". Show the numbers.

In any case the real problem is not this.

The real problem is that the same authorities talking about chaos in ecosystem, are allowing 500k f*ing people a year walking in that ecosystem. Didn't they said before that it is so, so fragile?. Maybe they are being hypocrites about this?

The solution here seems very simple. If the cave ecosystem is in danger, stop tourism until it recovers. You can't have your cake and eat it.
I've tried many such devices. I bought and sold AlphaSmart devices for a while during my search. I also have a Psion Series 5, Sharp Brain, etc. I also have ADHD.

The problem for me is always the keyboard layout. Having used the same keyboard for 16 years (wired Apple aluminium with numeric pad; still going strong!) I find different keyboard layouts more distracting than any notification, browser, app, or game could ever be.

I suppose I could carry my own keyboard, or the smaller Bluetooth version, but at that point I'd rather just carry my M1 MacBook Pro and be more strict with myself about what I'm working on.
