Thank you. I should have been more specific. Non-transerral during auth is important because it virtually eliminates fishing, and that also explains why the Powers That Be are touchy about exporting. Exfiltration enables scenarios where a nefarious party tricks a user into transferring their cryptographic keys.
Ah yes, the holiday season layoffs. I doubt it'll affect any economic incentives being offered by the state.
While I don't agree with your premise (I think there are plenty of high quality fiction books out there such that if you read 20-40 a year you could read pretty much only great fiction for a lifetime), more importantly is that I'm not talking just about fiction.

Why not read into a nonfiction topic just for interest's sake, like a layman's accessible book on quantum physics, or the battles of WWII, or the development of Western music, or whatever topic makes one just go "Hmm, that's cool, I want to find out more about that."
This is (depending on how extreme you are, I suppose) wise. Once you're making more than a subsistence income, one of the keys to long-term financial stability and security is to live well below your means[1].

Doing that also gives you freedom in the sense that you are no longer "trapped" in whatever job you have, because you can develop a long enough runway that you can leave a job before you've found a replacement.

[1] In my youth, I dated the daughter of one of the richest people in my city. I asked him what the key to getting rich is, and his response was "spend less than you earn". At the time, I thought it was a way to to avoid answering my question, but in the decades since I've realized that was actually the correct answer and everything else is just expanding on that.
Because it's not like that everywhere in the world. For example, here, to be able to get funding, you need to pass a panel interview of researchers who are experienced in the area of your research. Our system employs "hordes of research experts" to shake down most inadequate ones, and push the rest to the actual researchers to further filter them.

IIRC, many if not most EU countries employ similar methods.
People have been using 3D models for 2D graphics for at least a decade. 3D models rotate, by default.

This demo shows generating a 3D model from a simple 2D shape. It'll fall flat on its face trying to 3D model anything non-trivial which begs the question - who cares?

Also, you'll want to animate the 3D model - which this doesn't do, so you'll soon be back to your usual 3D toolkit anyway.
Now I'm curious what the _right_ pronunciation is!

A contract is only as good as both parties participate in good faith, or as it is enforceable.

I'm comfortable with taking on the risk of not fulfilling my end of something like a gym contract, provided the mechanism to remove third parties like payment processors.
We already can't fit much more in CPUs. You can't just throw cores in there. CPUs these days are, like, 80% cache if you look at the die. We constantly shrink the compute part, but we don't put much more compute - that space is just used for cache.

So, I'm not sure that you're wasting much with the NPU. But I'm not an expert.
I'm curious why start.elf is looking at the device tree file; I thought that was purely for Linux's benefit
My agenda is that I think it's completely rationale to ask about the merits of publicly funded research and debate that topic. You may not like that question or my responses, but that is my assertion here.
I've read over 1,000 novels and I still find many high quality works I haven't read. They do make more of them each year, you know...

So yes it's obviously not infinite, but I imagine it's at least 10,000 and that's enough for anyone.
Now we need Rust Windows compatible kernel to save us from Recall.
Meta has a new AR thing.. it was in the news recently.
Not disagreeing with you on the memory safety. It's just that the way "written in Rust" is used, it seems like a marketing gimmick to invite anyone who knows (or maybe wants to learn) Rust. Shows (IMO!) the weakness of the project rather than its seriousness.
I'm with you, but the environment they cheat in matters. Learning to hack with CTFs is great, but against real targets? Of course, I'm overplaying the severity of cheating a bit, but the point still stands.
I have been directly involved in deals involving Palantir and I can say that their sales force, at least in Europe, is sociopathic. They play very dirty, both with their customers and amongst themselves. On top of that, I'm not particularly impressed with their software, which they charge way too much money for. It's data aggregation and visualization, gimme a break.

Nuclear power is less "dirty" than most forms of renewables: https://world-nuclear.org/images/articles/0a2091ce-35b3-4ada...

Again, Germany emits 6 times as much C02 for every MWh of electricity generated as France.

It's not an issue of production vs. consumption. You're counting nuclear power, which is heavily utilized by France, as a "dirty" energy source despite the fact that it's cleaner than most renewables.
I have various things that I don’t really want but I’d hate to just toss in the trash. Would love to find someone who would value them for at least a while. I’m going to give moving a couple of them a shot in November.
The DSN is a radio network. In its present form, this is going to be ineffective for receiving a meaningful amount of imagery data from signals emitted by a lightweight space probe at 500AU. At ~150AU the current 25-70m dishes are getting less than 40 bits per second from Voyager 1.

Instead, we would use lasers with a far superior gain to what radio communication is capable of. The divergence on even a decent pocket laser pointer diode is less than 0.1 degree. This is a gain of 10*log10(41,253/(0.1*0.1)) = 66 degrees. Launch telescopes of modest size can increase this further. Then receiver telescopes fitted with narrowband filters can hone in on that laser signal.

LMAO at that other possibility... I hadn't even considered it but it's almost obvious in hindsight
My gas company has the equivalent of a mileage program. You earn points per cubic meter of gas you consume, that can then be redeemed for expensive meals at restaurants and stuff.

Yes it's very stupid.

My telco does as well, and I got a free Nintendo Switch from them for just having fiber internet that I would need anyway (the telco just owns the fiber, the ISP then goes over that open fiber, so I pay two different companies, it's the former that has the point program despite being the definition of a dumb pipe)

NPUs are actually incredibly fast for standard inference operations.

This benchmark is horribly flawed in many ways, and was so evidently useless that I'm surprised that they still decided to "publish" this. When your test gets 1% of the published performance, it's a good indication that things aren't being done correctly.
> [Citizens United] was pretty clearly correctly decided. The alternative is the government can prohibit you from distributing political speech because it costs money to do it, which would imply that they could ban all private mass media under the argument that there are some people who can't afford a printing press or a radio tower.

Presenting this controversial view that many knowledgeable and intelligent people would disagree with as "pretty clearly correct" and stating an alternative as if it is the only alternative, that is not what many people think the alternative would be, is only going to raise hackles. It's not going to spur any new thought or interesting dicussion.

Here I am despairing at the 90-95% of Bloom’s Western Canon list that I bet I’d love and find moving and sublime, and would each form a new little piece of me, but am definitely never going to get to, and that’s not even close to a list of all the excellent books that exist (mostly, but not all, fiction in that case) given its explicitly limited scope and the implicit limits from its having been assembled by one person (and perhaps a few of his students, IDK, but seems likely)

Unless all one does is read fiction, I don’t think hitting seriously diminishing returns or running out of top-tier material are likely problems. Mere mortals with other interests and hobbies who achieve low-tens of books a year, and not all in that meaty very-high-quality bunch, need not worry.
You said "for the same reason I reject wearing makeup" which implied, to me, that you feel people should not (I assume you mean, regularly) wear wakeup because "capturing of their genuine features and expressions should be valued more."

I said, or intended to convey, that it is a personal preference. It really need not matter to others how a person, be it man or woman, chooses to dress their appearance (though of course there is a line, for example most places would encourage that you wear clothes in public.)

I don't believe that the asymmetry between men and women changes this. There may exist:

- an asymmetry between the beauty standards which are applied to men and women, or;

- an asymmetry between the pressure that men and women experience to enhance their natural appearance, or;

- any other difference of expectation between men and women.

I personally feel many of these expectations are harmful overall. However, this need not invalidate a person's choice to dress their face with makeup, and throwing more expectations (even unpopular ones) into the mix will certainly not alleviate this asymmetry.

edit: perhaps I could make it a little more clear that I have a lot of distaste for the way the world works for women. I agree with you largely and I think it's unfair. I just think there's a very large jump from 'women should not feel the need to wear makeup' to 'women should not wear makeup.'
> Ironically the plural of the Mistral wind in the Larousse dictionnary would technically be Mistrals

This is getting off-topic, but anyway…

The Larousse definition is wrong, that’s for sure. The Tramontane comes from the West, between the Pyrenees and the Massif Central, it is not at all the same current as the Mistral.

I am not sure how prevalent “les Mistrals” is in the literature. I don’t doubt that some people wrote this, possibly for some poetic effect, but it sounds very wrong as well. Mistral is a proper noun, and it is not collective like “Alizés”. It means specifically the wind that blows along the Rhône valley, there cannot be more than one.

[edit] as other pointed out, there is the Mistral gagnant sweet, which can indeed be plural.
"But Google does it. If we do it, we will be like Google".

Were you in my meeting about 40 minutes ago? Because that's almost exactly what was said.

If the big tech companies wanted to be really evil, they could invent a nonsense tech that doesn't work, then watch as all the small upstart competitors bankrupt themselves to replicate it.
By breaking the agreed-upon rules you gain resources and others lose resources (energy, morale, money, w/e). That the activity impacts the cheater in other ways is beside the point if its a dick move or not.

Now we know who's paying all those food delivery companies $20 to deliver them a single coffee.
Those are great questions worthy of debate. But we shouldn't just give up on those hard questions and say that all research is worthy of public funding should we?

I actually like those a lot. It's one of the few places where people are not shouting, there's no bright lights or loud background music. People don't use cellphones much. I assume a certain (minority) of the population likes those things. There sure are enough loud and flashy things for people to choose from.
While this is true, the most effective optimizations you don't do yourself. The compiler or runtime does it. They get the low-hanging fruit. You can further optimize yourself, but unless your design is fundamentally bad, you're gonna be micro-optimizing.

gcc -O0 and -O2 has a HUGE performance gain. We don't really have anything to auto-magically do this for models, yet. Compilers are intimately familiar with x86.

I love C&H and am blown away there was something so applicable. Felt like an XKCD moment!
I think that statement is a little tongue in cheek, if you read the rest of it.
Fiction gives me so much more than the "science-light" books mentioned in this blog post.

I don't think these books are bad and without ideas or merit, but many of them show an idea in the first two chapters and then repeat it for the rest of the book. It's like an expanded blog post with adequate but average writing. Reading 40 of them in a year is going to leave most people not remembering anything significant. Kind of like people that say they travelled to 40 countries in a year. You're not going to get anything other than surface-level understanding and some jetlag.

The difference is that you don't need a 3D model for this.

I’m the sole developer behind Nottawa, a free open-source live audioreactive visuals app for VJs and creatives. My vision is a simpler version of TouchDesigner or Resolume which can be picked up by non-technical folks who just want some cool, groovy displays at their next live event.

This is Adobe Max, which is a huge event held by Adobe for creators.

This session is "Sneaks" which is held every year, and has a fun, casual atmosphere. i.e. it has a theme, has a celebrity co-host, lots of jokes, food and drink served, etc...

Its basically a bunch of people who are creative, and are having fun nerding out on the tech...

Its a lot of fun.

> While dogs slowed down and hesitated before they attempted to use an uncomfortably small opening, in the case of cats, we did not detect this change in their behavior before their attempt to go through even the narrowest openings. However, remarkably, cats showed hesitation both before they attempted to penetrate the shortest openings, and while they moved through it.

I just skimmed, but I didn’t see any mention whiskers. It’s seems to me that cats can make highly precise measurements of width just by sticking their heads in a space, but height judgments requires additional consideration.
Yes, we agree in the fundamentals. The reality is, academia dynamics is very different w.r.t. to private sector, esp. startups. So, knowing how research works in academia is a bit of an unknown for people who're not interested in this line of work, or people who doesn't know how these things are done in general.

In short, the value proposition for a piece of research is very different depending on the lens you're looking through to that research.
So many reasons. All centred around the practicality of early engineering that remain relevant to some degree today.

1) 1 engine/motor is more efficient to manufacture
2) 1 engine means one point of failure
3) Early engines were not small or light enough to mount 4 of them on a vehicle and power to weight was an important aspect for those early vehicles, now it's still relevant for energy efficiency
4) Distributing energy to 2 or 4 wheels from a single point is very efficient mechanically, so there's not much lost in the process to heat, sound etc. So, why not?
5) Independent control often means more friction and wear because the wheels don't need to turn on their axis to make the vehicle turn, they just slow their rotation (causing friction). Regular cars still create friction when they turn but less.
My bad. Face palm.
The audience is creative community members who use Adobe tools and are attending max (around 11,000 for this event).
The idea that the human race will never exactly agree on what is "true" is correct and obvious.

The opinion expressed here that nothing has changed in the world recently about how truth and politics are handled is false. With the collapse of reasonable arbiters of "truth", such as network TV anchors, who were imperfect themselves but nevertheless served as a check on the falsehoods that a political party could put out, parties have discovered that 100% bullshit 100% of the time is a workable approach to politics, and some of them are pursuing that. That was never true before.
I think you're being a bit too generous with Adobe here :-). I shared this before, but it's worth resharing [1]. It covers the experience of a professional artist using Adobe tools.

The gist is that once a company has a captive audience with no alternatives, investors come first. Flashy (no pun intended :-p), cool features to impress investors become more important than the everyday user experience—and this feature does look super cool!

Usually hearing aids are tuned to an individual user (and individual ear)'s hearing response frequency curve, kinda like an equalizer, that adjusts volumes differently across their range of hearing. To do that their hearing loss must be measured first and saved into a profile. There are already apps that do that, and you can simulate it yourself with the right methodology and equipment. But a dumb amplifier that just makes everything louder won't do that. It might make some frequencies too loud for comfort while insufficiently amplifying the ones you need.

Using standard equipment (iphones and airpods) makes the calibration easier, but it still needs to run an individual profile.
Pretty sure the ban records show even if your profile is private.
Wow, this is a great article. I had no idea what Palantir did these past 10 years, but after reading this article I can say they had amazing direction.
I agree. I think it's a bit of nod into the playfulness most associate with cats. I don't mind though, cats are one subject I'm okay with some leeway in the rigorousness of the article title.
HN literally posted a video on how broken the public funding system is (in Physics) days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41808127

This broken system doesn't just stop at Physics. If you watch the video, she does a great job at explaining what exactly is broken.

I'd love you to watch that video and then come back and explain to me why she is wrong and why the system is actually working well and as-intended.
Wikipedia is not often referenced in literature reviews as an exhaustive source of relevant studies.
> completely rational to ask about the merits of publicly funded research

Sure, but asking asking non-experts on some web forum to make guesses at the answers, and insulting the people whose job it is to do this work based on your assumptions of how it works, is a bad way to go about answering that question.
I know there's a steam client setting now to clear the data of the overlay browser (either on exit, or manually? Can't remember) - does that affect the VGUI browser?

iPhones use a lot of these. There's a bunch of little features that run on the NPU.

Suggestions, predictive text, smart image search, automatic image classification, text selection in images, image processing. These don't run continuously, but I think they are valuable to a lot of users. The predictive text is quite good, and it's very nice to be able to search for vague terms like "license plate" and get images in my camera roll. Plus, selecting text and copying it from images is great.

For desktop usecases, I'm not sure.
Nice, that might make it almost as fast as Chrome!

Jokes aside, this is garbage clickbait - the reality as stated in the linked post is much more mundane: "Some processing tasks are now more than 75 times faster in Firefox"
mindbending can also refer to something being deceptively simple. you might think it would be a big complicated mess, but using this one weird trick makes it really obvious what's going on.

How convenient that that line of thinking's ultimate outcome is to solidify the security of the haves goods over the have nots access to what they need. Much like taking second servings before the children have had their fill.

Funny bit is no one ever seems to want to contemplate how to defang the power laws that yield winner takes all, fostering massive inequality at the expense of the majority of the population.

That'd make being rich harder though. No one wants that.
In fact you can get the original samples taken directly from the ROMs of old digital drum machines, which is maybe 60% of the character. The other 40% is a combination of the imperfect digital-to-analog converters and analog output stages of the time, the way effects like pitch shift were implemented (often by changing the sample rate, which is hard to emulate), and the control gestures idiomatic to the machine.
