I doubt it. For one thing, the ergonomics of an "orb" are horrible. This is a solution looking for a problem and seemingly designed by people who took the wrong lessons from Apple's success.

Incidentally they have a typo in their announcement page[1].

> The Orb is the incluse[sic], secure and anonymous device that enables World ID holders to verify their humanness and uniqueness.

I assume "incluse" is meant to be "inclusive". But what's "inclusive" about letting a startup with foggy monetization plans collect everyone's biometrics? Sounds like bullshit.

"largest area" immediately brought "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" to mind - not for actual impact, just because the physical painting is nearly 10 feet across, which noone seems to expect. Also it's on one wall of an enormous room with plenty of room for people to circulate, in a gallery that has various options for free access (mostly aimed at locals and students, but the art institute doesn't seem too picky about it.)

I always found that a simple merge style patch is enough, and a lot simpler. You just have to know that there is a difference between null and undefined. For large arrays, it's usually some sort of bulk operation that can be solved by an array of patch/delete requests, which is both safer and simpler. Maybe I've just not hit a proper use case for this yet

I agree- what’s the difference between error correction and a full tick? At what point do you draw the line on error correction?

Extrapolation is often used to mean extrapolating values without error correction, at which point the results are less than stellar.

Spacewarp is, like Timewarp, a way to match the render frame time on a headset but by creating a warp of the output image; ill concede that this is technically extrapolation but is far away from whats generally referred to in describing updating entity values in game loops.

That’s within the internationally recognized boundaries of Israel. A separate issue is that Israel enjoys full control over 60% of the West Bank (Area C), which is ever expanding, and various degrees of defects control over the rest of it. Within the West Bank Israeli settlers have more freedom of movement and less restrictions on their day to day lives. So any characterization of the West Bank as an independent country or polity is completely missing the point.
Sam needs to hire a consultant when he wants to name products. First it was ChatGPT, then came the 4o's and o-1's, and now this. "World" is not easy to pronounce for some non-English speakers (the "rld" part). For a product literally meant to be used by everyone, that's quite the faux pas.

That's fair, but what we call a monstrosity by modern standards is much simpler than porting the assembly

There were cross plaform languages before C, but they never really took off for system development the wat C did (OSs, for example were commonly written in pure assembly)

This type of thing is actually practical. Google Cloud Tasks have a max schedule date of 30 days in the future so the typical workaround is to chain tasks. As other commenters have suggested you can also set a cron check. This has more persistent implications on your database, but chaining tasks can fail in other ways, or explode if there are retries and a failed request does trigger a reschedule (I hate to say I’m speaking from experience)
OK, looking into it more it appears that pinggy actually has pretty good options for adding authentication (I guess that's what you were referring to by basic authentication, not just the service being exposed having basic authentication) and based on that it does seem that it could be more secure than just forwarding the port if the service being exposed doesn't have built in authentication, and that would make me a lot more tempted to use it.

The article for some reason didn't explain that at all or show examples using pinggy's authentication features. If the article had talked about that, the assertion about being more secure would have made a lot more sense.

> the US healthcare system does now have pretty much the level of price transparency that you want.

They made a little progress toward it but the providers are fighting it every way they can. Apparently one of the methods is to use many different codes for the same thing so they can't easily be compared. You need to get to the point where it's like a price comparison service; your doctor tells you to get a scan and you get a list of every service in the country that offers it, sortable by both price to you and distance from your house. They should also eliminate the premise of "in-network" and just have all providers publish their prices and insurers publish the amount they cover in your region.

> A value-based care model where provider organizations bear at least some financial risk and are accountable for patient outcomes will probably work better for everyone.

It would probably be better to combine them, i.e. you get primary care your way but when primary care wants you to get a scan or take a medication you have competing providers. Lumping the entire network into one entity is likely to lead to market consolidation and then inefficiency.
A real solution is to create privacy-preserving proofs regarding the state of a timestamped cryptographic feedback loop in projector-camera systems.

It's trivial to add incoming image hashes and timestamps to a Merkle tree and to derive the output hashes of projector emissions as they come, while providing an output hash to one's interlocutor (or BFT network) periodically. This proves the beginning time, end time, and sequentiality of all emissions.

Correspondence between emissions and recordings is proven by training autoencoders on concatenated projection images and returned camera images. These autoencoders are transformed using privacy preservation techniques.

Thus, human relationships and trust can be modeled and secured.
Band level doesn't quite work. Alas, it needs to be track level. There are a lot of bands where I like a track and that's it.

My favorite example is Seven Sirens And a Silver Tear from Sirenia, a Norwegian gothic metal band. There's no metal in that. It took me a long long time before I learned this but the track is a direct descendant of the Midlight Sonata. And I was hunting for similar songs and I now keep a playlist of them -- but if you started from Sirenia you would never find any of them.

The immediate limit is a government (Medicare) funding cap on the number of residency (graduate medical education) program slots. At one time the American Medical Association lobbied to put that cap in place but they reversed course years ago. Congress still hasn't acted, and so every year there are some students who graduate from medical school but are unable to practice.

All true. Unfortunately, it has too little to do with the root statement: Employment is "at will".

The point is, people have expectation based on their own self-created misunderstanding.

Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, it might seem shortsighted. But *no one* should be the least bit surprised or upset.

Again, "at will".

I’m not disagreeing with your other points, but I really dislike the last one. I’m uncomfortable with the idea that we’d try to implement social pressure/coercion to restrict people’s freedom to date who and when they like on the basis of some abstract, top-down perception of trying to maintain the “stock” of humans or whatever. Also, far as I’m aware, the main issue with birthrates isn’t desire or timing but that people feel unable to support kids, which is mostly an economic and policy problem.

True. Though if you have a need to trigger something after that much time, you might recognize the need to track that scheduled event more carefully and want a scheduler. Then you’ve just got a loop checking the clock and your scheduled tasks.

>But the point was that this entirely depends on one's definition of what the word "science" means - and that depends on the context and the language. I can say, for example, that math is science - simply equating "science" with "knowledge" and "research".

And I stated this in this thread several times. I defined what science is and I literally said, Computer Science isn't ACTUALLY a Science. It's incorrect terminology due to historical reasons. It's similar to greenland. Greenland isn't actually Green.

If you followed carefully what I wrote in this thread I defined what definition of science I'm using very very clearly and I ALSO stated why for the context of defining what "Theoretical Computer Science" using this definition has the most utility for the task at hand.

Look, not just you Koshkin, but everyone. This isn't even a thing that's really up for debate. Look at the wikipedia page for "theoretical computer science". The FIRST intro literally says it's the mathematical foundations for computation.

Judge slams Florida for censoring political ad
When implementing a tiny timing library in JS a few years back I found that most engines indeed seem to cast the value to an integer (effectively flooring it), so in order to get consistent behaviour in all environments I resorted to always calling Math.ceil on the timeout value first [1], thus making it so that the callbacks always fire after at least the given timeout has passed (same as with regular setTimeout, which also cannot guarantee that the engine can run the callback at exactly the given timeout due to scheduling). Also used a very similar timeout chaining technique as described here, it works well!

C# is already big enough language. This is more about .NET in general and less about C# specifically.

From what I've heard - there is an awareness that the current cost of delegates, while not that problematic anymore, can be improved. Whether this happens via explicit syntax to enable (ref) struct closures and value delegate pattern implementations or via object escape analysis and better devirtualization remains to be seen.

p.s.: I really wish that instead of LanguageExt, companies would have adopted F# instead.

> what model can i run on 1TB

With 1TB of RAM you can run nearly anything available (405B essentially being the largest ATM). Llama 405B in FP8 precision fits in H100x8 which is 640GB VRAM. Quantization is a very deep and involved well (far too much for an HN comment).

I'm aware it "works" but I don't bother with CPU, GGUF, even llama.cpp so I can't really speak to it. They're just not even remotely usable for my applications.

> tokens per second

Sloooowwww. With 405B it could very well be seconds per token but this is where a lot of system factors come in. You can find benchmarks out there but you'll see stuff like a very high spec AMD EPYC bare metal system with very fast DDR4/5, tons of memory channels, etc doing low single-digit tokens per second with 70B.

> ill get a GPU too but not sure how much VRAM I need for the best value for your buck

Most of my experience is top-end GPU so I can't really speak to this. You may want to pop in at https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/ - there is much more expertise there for this range of hardware (CPU and/or more VRAM limited GPU configs).

Agreed. It surprises me that many of these services do not either lead with auth or have it as an important secondary. For many, port forwarding is a pain, so it solves that, but the security IMHO is just as important.

It's a shame lists like - https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling - do not call this out. fwiw, the one I work on, zrok.io (in truth, I work on its parent project, OpenZiti) has that hardening and auth because we believe its vital.
As I keep having to repeat here ad-nauseam, DevKit is optional, you only really need base C# extension which is what provides language server, debugger and code completion capabilities.

You'd be right to point out that confusing README of these two does not do .NET any justice however.
