> From another, completely different argument, when there is conflict, cutting off communications with the conflicting party is counterproductive, e.g. barring Russians from chess tournaments, scientific conferences, etc.

Communication and taking part in international events are two different things.

Ambassadors should talk, but when you started a hot war of aggression there is no space for inclusion of athletes etc in international events.

In this particular case, there were already many Ukrainian athletes that were killed on the frontlines while Russian ones are to be allowed to compete and promote their flag... I dont think so.
Not sure about "paid", but there are plenty of examples of communities with barriers to entry which are successful and long-lived, e.g. private trackers (the forums in whatcd were excellent), very niche/technical interest communities, etc.

I'm not dismissing it out of hand. I've spent significant time evaluating the capabilities of LLMs and studied how people are actually using it across different domains. The evidence is clear - LLMs are helpful tools but they make it way too easy to crank out lots of code without corresponding understanding. And if you think software is more about lines of code than it is developing understanding, I question whether you've ever made a piece of software that lasts more than 5 years.

Returning an error has this property, yes. And errors Alps have this property when they are propagated separately from the return value (like unchecked exception in Java). Returned values do not have this property.

The input to this are two things - images, and camare poses. The camera poses tell you where each camera was in 3D space (and some of its properties).

The training takes this information, to make a 3D model out it, visually matching all your photos.

COLMAP can still be quite expensive & a hassle sadly, order half hour, as opposed to seconds. There are modern alternatives like https://lpanaf.github.io/eccv24_glomap/, or even deep learning based systems like https://github.com/naver/dust3r

This is definitely still a big blocker to adoption. The goal is to get to a more all-in-one system. The splatting optimization can also help align cameras, if they don't start out entirely random, so any system to quickly provide a good "initial guess" will help here. At least for mobile devices, initialization from ARCore / ARKit poses should be enough.

Keep an eye out :)
Tin was also sourced from what is now Afghanistan.

My intuition on the "Sea People" issue is that there was both push and pull. A people change their way of life when the old way becomes less attractive (the push) and a new way becomes more attractive (the pull). The first effect could be due to environmental conditions and failure of trade, the second could be due to exposed vulnerability of the existing order of things to exploitation (the Drews theory). Positive feedback could occur on both.
> I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good

I wouldn't say it's good, but it does its job, if you can live with the insecurity and limitations. It's very comfortable, which is the only reason I'm still using it over KeePass and Bitwarden. KeepPass has no reliable Browser-integration, and Bitwarden is hard to selfhost. Firefox Passwordmanager is just there, always works, syncs without hassle, usability at it's peak (for this job).

Let's read TFA, shall we?

In "Criticism" section we find:

> Critics of the free market also argue that it results in significant market dominance, inequality of bargaining power, or information asymmetry, in order to allow markets to function more freely.

Clicking "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_of_bargaining_power" shows right at the introduction:

> Inequality of bargaining power is generally thought to undermine the freedom of contract, resulting in a disproportionate level of freedom between parties, and that it represents a place at which markets fail.

One could click on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_asymmetry#cite_not... , to find:

> Information asymmetry is in contrast to perfect information, which is a key assumption in neo-classical economics.[11]

But that would require one more click to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_economics:

> Neoclassical economics is an approach to economics in which the production, consumption, and valuation (pricing) of goods and services are observed as driven by the supply and demand model.

> Under certain circumstances it makes sense to study a model of markets with perfect information symmetry. But that's a very different (and much more restricted) term than 'free market'.

Again, that's exactly what "free market" is. Market that functions *solely* on interparty contracts is laissez faire.

The key difference is that in laissez faire price equilibrium is a defining property, whereas in a free market price equilibrium is an expected emergent property if perfect information symmetry is maintained.
Not as extreme as has been seen.

Taking first year (actual) Engineering as an example, in the early 1980s in my state, at the university I attended, many males applied, only those with sufficient test scores were accepted subject to places available (300 intake).

299 males Vs 1 female.

In pure math, chem, physics, law, medicine, the gender breaks were approx 35-55% female (somewhat higher than 50:50 female intakes in medicine|law) but Engineering was (at that time) avoided by women in the application process.

There are things males gravitate to, there are things that women choose to avoid, and there's a selection committee that chooses from applications. Engineering was a sausage fest .. and not a pleasent faculty to be a female student in.

Japan has a terrible demographic and zero economic growth and is doing relatively fine.

Sure, life in the future will be different than life in the past but that has always been the case. Perhaps it will (temporarily) be worse in some areas and perhaps it will be better in other areas. That'll be very hard to predict.

I don't think an economic collapse will happen, we'll have to adapt but a collapse is not in anyone's favour.

Less people does mean lower real-estate prices and potentially more nature. Perhaps we'll have to settle for less gadgets and exotic holidays but we'll have nicer homes and more nature around us.

That seems like a decent trade-off.
I'm no sociologist but WW2 was different in that they had one (or more) common enemies, same with post-9/11; if Americans have a common enemy, they can tolerate a lot of shit.

But with the 'rona it wasn't presented as such; there was a clear propaganda push from some corners telling people that their freedoms were being taken away, that they were suffering, etc.
> Are you implying there were no supply chain difficulties? China wasn't under heavy lockdown for months on end?

I think they were more stating that consolidation, which often results in a reduction in redundancies in the system, made the supply chain issues worse than they otherwise would have been. Consolidation can increase the instances of single points of failure.

For a smaller scale example: in 2016 flooding took a biscuit factory out of action for a time, and suddenly you couldn't get bourbon biscuits (and a few other varieties) anywhere. It turns out that all the UK supermarkets (except Sainsbury IIRC) and some big-name brands were supplied by that one factory¹, so they all had a stoppage of supply at the same time, and those being supplied from elsewhere were out of stock too because the remaining smaller supplies could not ramp up production to meet the new demand². The consolidation that brings more efficiency when all is well can make things worse when something goes wrong.

----

[1] This also lead to “I told you so” comments from some of us, to people who were suddenly asking “if the ones I buy come from the same place, exactly the same production line, why have I been paying 25p/pack more for them?”.

[2] And even if they could, it would have been a bad business decision because once that big factory was back online the market wouldn't bare the new excess of supply meaning prices would drop, potentially below cost where margins are tight.
A better argument against chicken breast is that the commercial chickens have been selectively bred, fed, and treated with not-found-in-nature medicines to the point that they don't resemble a "natural" ingredient anymore. This would be in contrast to wild poultry like wild duck, goose, turkey, pheasant, squab, etc.

This seems really complex, specifically in the area where I find product, CS & marketing least likely to want it: targeting and controlling their audience. Sounds like a cool thought experiment, fun and challening to implement and not really practical or useful.

If you have a huge userbase and deploy very frequently FFs are great for experiments, but for the rest of us they're primarily a way to decouple deploys from releases. They help with the disconnect between "Marketing wants to make every release a big event; Engineering wants to make it a non-event". I also find treating FFs as different from client toggles is very important for lifecycle management and proper use.

More than the binary nature I think the bigger challenge is FFs are almost always viewed as a one-way path "Off->On->Out" but what if you need to turn them off and then back on again? It can be very hard to do properly if a feature is more than UI, that might cause data to be created or updated that the old code then clobbers, or issues between subsystems, like microservices that aren't as "pure" as you thought.
Ask HN: How to Login into a Google Account with 8-digit verification codes lost
I have a Google account with two-factor authentication ON with 8-digit code required to login. I have these 8-digit codes saved in a txt file on my computer, but my hard disk was formatted, and I lost that file. I tried to recover the data but couldn't recover that file. Now I know my email and password but whenever I try to login into that Google accoount, it keeps asking me for the that 8-digit code, which I don't have. Even when I try to recover my Google account using this link (https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery) it is still asking me for that 8-digit code.

What can I do to get into my Google account?

I don’t follow the space closely, but if you find a Kindle Keyboard (third generation of the product) or earlier, they stopped getting updates ages ago and in fact can no longer use the store (though USB sideloading still works fine). They are all jailbreakable.

As a kiosk-like display, though, they do have that keyboard taking up space.

I only use my Kindle to read outside (at the beach or pool); in the house, my iPad is faster and has a bigger screen. But in the sun, it’s useless. eInk is far superior for that. For the week or two a year that I need one, my 15-ish-year-old Kindle is fine. I travel with a laptop and tons of cables anyway; sideloading just means a few minutes of work after dinner to make sure there’s enough on there to read tomorrow and isn’t much slower than using the internal interface to get books was.

Aegis is no more secure than storing your TOTPs in your password manager - 2 factors primarily protect against remote attacks, which don't have direct access, in which case the app your 2nd factor lives in is moot. If your threat model involves direct access you need dedicated hardware for your 2nd factor. Most people are fine with TOTP in pw manager.

It is well established that visual patterns affect brain activity, this is used in clinical practice by neurophysiologists, put on an EEG cap and then do checkerboards, check if the activity is normal.

Now the question is if this provocation and resulting CSF flow is actually beneficial. Do you spike activity and get a rebound attempt at waste clearing due to waste accumulation of the neural spike, or is this like a massage for the brain that gives you a invigorating CSF dump?

I suspect it might not be a health improving activity. (I also suspect that you can get even more CSF flowing if you spin yourself at 6G in a full body centrifuge and that this too would not be conductive to health)

My understanding of "CSS Reset" mirrors the statement in the post:

> Historically, the main goal of a CSS reset has been to ensure consistency between browsers, and to undo all default styles, creating a blank slate.

I do not grok CSS and it feels complex so forgive my ignorance when I ask: isn't it possible to set every CSS property to "initial"? If so, wouldn't that in some senses be a true reset?

Or perhaps the CSS specification initial values are opinionated?

Perhaps there isn't a real definition of un-opinionated style.
All of the crises (energy crisis, COVID, etc) have been solved by adapting to the new reality. That usually takes times and makes things (temporarily) worse but I'm confident we can keep on doing that.

A lack of drinking water can be solved with desalination (which, today, is insanely cheap for drinking water, too expensive for agriculture though), we can improve the productivity of existing agriculture and switch from a meat based diet towards a more plant based diet, etc.

This will require adjustments but I don't see China (with a shrinking population) attacking Russia to maintain the price of steak.

There are two kinds of food processing. One kind of food processing separates the edible or more desirable parts of the food from the inedible or less desirable parts of the food.

This kind of processing has been done industrially for thousands of years, e.g. with the production of meal or flour from seeds or the extraction of oil from oily fruits or oily seeds.

As long as care is taken to prevent changes in the parts of the food that are separated (e.g. by using cold pressing or sCO2 extraction instead of hot pressing for oil extraction), such processing methods cannot have any detrimental effects on food, but they can greatly reduce the costs needed for the storage and for the transport of food.

The second class of food processing methods mix various food ingredients and/or transform the food in various ways, by using heating, whipping etc.

When food processing methods of the second class are used industrially, as opposed to being performed at home by the end consumer, they almost always result in unhealthy food, because the interest of the food vendor of obtaining a maximum profit conflicts with the requirements that have to be observed in order to make a healthy food.

Terms like "highly-processed food" or "ultra-processed food" make sense only when applied to food processed with methods of the second class.

Chicken breast separated from bones and skin is not more processed than an apple separated from its tree.

Why have a title at all?
If I recall correctly, the previous version of this also set * { padding: 0 } (and this is common with other resets). I’ve recently moved away from this as well. It’s less convenient, but there is a significant downside when using it with web components.

Web components have many rough edges when it comes to styling, and there’s one in particular that will hurt you if your reset includes * { padding: 0 }. The styles applied by the document to the component take precedence over the styles applied by the component to itself. So if you have a reset that zeroes out the padding for everything and then try to set the padding in your web component, it won’t take effect because zero will be inherited from outside. This is especially counterintuitive and the most direct workaround is to sprinkle !important everywhere, which is not great. These days I only reset the padding for specific element types instead of using the universal selector.

Just in general, I find that web components are especially bad for random footguns like this. So many things break once you introduce web components. I’m generally a big fan of the web as a platform and normally prefer to work as close to vanilla as possible. But web components always make me miserable and frustrated. They really need to be torn down and replaced with something better.
