That makes sense. Sounds interesting - do you have a favored reference? Quickly looking, I did find https://gwern.net/doc/math/1974-mathai.pdf
I try to at least know when something is bash and when something is POSIX sh. There is no reason to infest your system scripts with bashisms.
True, this is something I struggled with writing and ended up with just a small note commenting that this is not widely applicable. Will clarify more in coming posts. It's all incredibly context specific. The reason for this order, is that you can very much can use all these approaches (SSAA, FXAA, MSAA etc.) for rendering simpler shapes and HUDs. So going through them, where these approaches break down and when it does make sense to go the extra mile with SDFs.

Still, non-standard rendering approaches are very much a thing [1] and I could see setups like [2] be used in scientific particle visualizations.

It's not hard once you know the rules. shellcheck helps, but it's usually whiny about escaping variable substitution that are intended for outside of the current script such as for editing other files.

Its biggest flawed design decision is word splitting by default and Bash's lack of a standard library helper functions for arrays and associative arrays. These could also be implemented as bash native extensions without build-time modification with a user-provided programmatic builtin. I could be wrong, but zsh may be able to add compiled functionality at runtime dynamically as well.
> There's zero purpose for having a bottle with any label.

Light interacts quite differently with the label than the material of the bottle. We get to observe scattering, diffusion, color... y'know, science stuff.

It is rather interesting that the first video (from 12 years ago) used a blank red label instead.

(See how it differs in from the rest of the bottle? I particularly like how it obscures the pulse itself and highlights the wavefront on the surface.)

Apple has no say in this after abusing market control with bans on competing browsers for years. They should pay for it and big.
I was one of the very few voices against using Chrome when it debuted in 2008. How on earth did it make sense, even for the supposedly enlightened programmer/IT tech/gamer/nerd crowd to use a browser made by a company whose business model depends on profiling user data to sell ads? And mind that in 2008 they had already ditched the 'don't be evil' slogan for those naive enough to think that businesses are anything but amoral.

And splitting hairs over Chrome vs Blink (the engine), or switching to the multiple other Blink wrapper browsers that are there, or Chrome's controlled opposition Firefox() makes no sense either; by using any of these you only help maintain Google's hegemony over the web and its standards.

() - they don't get to call themselves a scrappy little privacy crusading rebel when bankrolled by Mozilla whose multi million dollar revenue remains primarily from Google being the default search engine in Firefox, plus their own shenanigans.
You’re going to have to qualify where you are talking about. Where I am, California, that only describes community colleges. Even state and especially UC have “invested” significantly in infrastructure improvements paid for with loans backed by expectations of tuition income, which has had an absurd effect on growing tuition far outside of inflation. Very little of your tuition at these schools goes towards teaching salaries.

There's hope that sodium-ion tech will come to the rescue, here. The energy-density is bordering on 'good enough' but it's not quite there, yet.

There's other technologies that they're trialing for boats that seem silly but works on paper at least. We're currently building a ferry with a massive flywheel to store lots of rotational inertia to convert to electricity, which on the face of it is bonkers but again, the maths says it's good.

Sarcastically, no one should.

Unsarcastically, a lot of people believe user data belongs to users, and that they should have a say in how it's used. Here, I think the point is that Niantic decided they could use the data this way and weren't transparent about it until it was already done. I'm sure I would be in the minority, but I would never have played - or never have done certain things like the research tasks - had I known I was training an AI model.

I'm sure the Po:Go EULA that no one reads has blanket grants saying "you agree that we can do whatever we want," so I can't complain too hard, but still disappointed I spent any time in that game.
Ridiculous. He's not a random guy, he's a major MAGA political player now. You will find that Democrats do not like most major MAGA figures. Works similarly the other way around.
In an alternative universe, Trump said something like, "Hey folks, I know wearing masks can be a bit unusual and uncomfortable at times, and we're not totally certain how effective they are, but there's good reason to believe they'll save the lives of some of our fellow Americans... please put them on when you're around other people, we'll re-assess as we get a better understanding of the cost-benefit tradeoff."

In that universe, we're not even toying with the idea that the American public would violently revolt at the idea of some basic mitigations of a respiratory epidemic.
Eh, I like Malort, and I'm not even from Chicago.

Now that I am delving into the retro-gaming world, I find it funny that 30 years ago gamers lambasted the Sega Saturn for using dithering patterns instead of proper transparencies, only for the same technique to come back decades later.

100 Questions: A Mathematical Conventions Survey
Never have I wanted to stab out my eyes as much as when wrestling with powershell.
I don't think you need to be an "IT professional" to understand that not paying money doesn't imply that you aren't giving away value.
If it doesn't work well for such high profile names, why would we expect it to work at all for an unheard of nobody? Doesn't that mean that kpen source doesn't actually work?
The experience I have on MK4 and X1C are similar, as far as reliability, etc.

There's different annoyances for each; if you calibrate each time X1C is slower to get going. X1C is faster overall on bigger jobs. X1C has weird wifi error-out issues more often. MK4 gets a bit more gunk on the nozzle. X1C wastes more filament. X1C had some issues with retracting filament at first that I printed someone else's bracket design to fix, while MK4 just worked. X1C quality seems slightly better with PLA; MK4 does a slightly better job with PETG.

When wear makes major maintenance necessary, it's going to be easier on MK4.
Imagine how those of us who played Ingress (Niantic's first game) feel... We were tricked into contributing location data for the game we loved, only to see it reused for the far more popular (and profitable) Pokemon Go.
Curious when you'll enable your feature set that makes it possible to contribute compute. I have a few dozen 4090's I'd be interested in bringing online - interested to see how your offering differs from Vast AI or GPUDeploy.

Looks really cool!
I’ve been doing something similar for about a year by uploading files to Backblaze/B2, mounting it as a virtual drive with Mountain Duck (macOS), and having a single HTML file to browse and play videos. I have a server running Jellyfin on the same files but one day wanted split screen, tried this as a hack, and it just… works? There are multi-gig files, numbering in the hundreds, and all I did was append a video tag for each one to scroll through, play, and style the whole viewer with some really basic CSS. Why isn’t t this more common?
VLEO/LEO is the safest place to put satellites is it not? They'll eventually deorbit themselves if you do nothing, no?

The worst place for space junk is high orbits it would seem like. Earth was wildly visited by an Apollo rocket stage a few years back! That is pretty wild.
Nitrile gloves + better fuel sump is a good stop gap.

As someone with a kid, I'm trying to figure out how. First off the average spend for a kid if we can believe reports is 250K and honestly, feels like there's outliers bringing that up. My parents most certainly spend nowhere near that on me.

But even for my kid, who lives a very middle class lifestyle, I don't see how I'm dump even half that into her and she's half your kid's age. I know for a fact that I have not spent that much. My healthcare spend has gone up 3K/year. everything involved in pregnancy up to birth was 8K. I pay for a private school which is than the daycare. I pay for extra activities. Even then I'm not at 100K and most of it is the privage school, I don't have to pay for, but wanted to to better accommodate my special needs kid when she was young. I'm not even doing that next year. I'm struggling to consider where I'd find another 150K+ to spend on her beyond mandated things like clothing. Are you talking college? I guess I'm lucky my state has a state scholarship and community college is free regardless. It's how I only paid 20K to get a bachelor's. I assume my kid will do the same whatever she picks.
> Unsarcastically, a lot of people believe user data belongs to users, and that they should have a say in how it's used

I can understand that people believe this, but why do they do? Nothing in our society operates in a way that might imply this.
I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of the people playing Pokemon Go have never even considered the question.
Yes sometimes the loudest voice definitely rises to the top and it’s annoying, but I also think it’s a condition that too many new members don’t know how to use the upvote button.

I also think it’s a symptom that HN does not allow enough people to use the down vote button. you could be a commenting member for years and not be able to downvote or you could be somebody who posts a few click bate links you copied from another aggregator and all of a sudden you have the ability to downvote. It’s pretty dumb.
Confused as well since we self host in docker and it's no different than any other node app. People keep posting that there's gotchas and weird setups but... it just works well for us.
>To my knowledge, this can be fixed by requesting the OS-level accessibility permissions, which would require a separate user interaction.

Does this imply that running Gregglogger _doesn't_ require granting accessibility input monitoring permission? On osx there's at least 4 ways to monitor inputs I think (iokit level, cgeventap, carbon event monitoring, cocoa global event monitor), I'd really expect all of them to require the input monitoring permission.
> The word “monopoly” means different things in law and everyday use. To most people, Apple is a monopoly - it just means a company that is unjustifiably large and powerful and relatively immune to competition and pressure. We need to change the law to reflect this new reality, that anti trust isn’t just about monopolies but other large companies too.

In other words the "new antitrust" is just people who dislike big, successful companies trying to bring them down a peg. Apple is "large and powerful" because it sells products people love. Why is that unjustifiable?

Apparently the DoJ is pressuring Google to sell Chrome. But if you don't like Chrome due to all the tracking, you can just use a Chromium-derived browser (or just Chromium)! Punishing Google (or Apple) because they make good products that people like is beyond stupid.

The biggest irony in all of this is that AI is shaking things up in a major way. New entrants like OpenAI and Anthropic may very well end up beating Apple and Google in various markets over the next few years. The government is picking a time of intense competition and uncertainty to go after these companies.
A counter point to this adage in modern times is that censorship seems to spread as a result of users sharing content across platforms with varying levels of moderation. I've seen many examples of "shorts" being shared on FB or Instagram which originated from TikTok and which feature heavy use of either euphemism (eg. "unalived" instead of "murdered") or even explicitly silenced language.

Platforms which do not heavily moderate content will nonetheless still have heavily self-censored content as a result of users being conditioned by other platforms into self-censorship.
> any iPhone navigating with gmaps

Not saying you are saying this but it amused me how many people believe(d) that Apple wasn’t mining and hoarding location data either because well, they’re Apple and they love you. All those traffic statuses in Apple Maps on minor side streets with no monitoring came from the … traffic fairy, perhaps.
I think this happens at pretty much every company but Google is particularly effective at it and/or just got called on it.

I'd bet that most tech execs have been trained to take the juicy stuff off of official comms altogether and use some privacy preserving mediums like signal or telegram - probably colluding with 'competitors' there as well.
I hope this tech could help make AR glasses more useful in public, day-to-day life, like a video game HUD.
how much do one of those bad boys cost?
Experiences vary but I worried I’d, like, not enjoy food on it.

Nope, not a problem. I just get full much faster and am even more prone to simply not eating when I’m busy, than I already was. Not as food-focused when idle, but I still snack a little or whatever.
I did not claim that he was obscure nor that no one had heard of him.

I merely mentioned that your and other claims that "anyone with a high school education has to have heard of him" is bollocks.

I have both a high school and university degree and have never heard of him and don't think I need to have.

Now you even claim someone with a "basic education" should've heard of him (meaning someone that didn't even finish high school). If you doubt that, Google about different countries' school systems and what would go for "basic" education.

That said you definitely would've nerd sniped me with a link and if these replies here on HN hadn't been there to catch my interest first I would have just googled him.

Basically by trying to be a smart ass and belittling others you harmed your own cause so to speak.
They’re just going to deny anything is wrong, sweep deaths under the rug and carry on with absolutely nonsensical “gut feel” reactions to real problems. Hell, didn’t Hegseth say he doesn’t even believe in germs and so he doesn’t wash his hands.
For that reason HN should just remove the down/up votes, because it will turn this place to an echo chamber like reddit, these brownie points are useless.
If true, this is wild. I've never heard of it, nor of anyone exploiting it.
It's really concerning how the next 4 years in America will turn out; during his 1st term, along with some clowns, Trump at least picked some people who were pretty competent. This time, the competent people want nothing to do with him (and vice versa) and he's surrounded himself entirely with incompetent clowns.
> What political capital that remained was spent.

Arguably the political capital was just incompetently set on fire.

I imagine a Reagan, or a Kennedy, or a Roosevelt in that situation, and for anyone with a good instinct for leadership it just becomes a shooting-fish-in-a-barrel setup for becoming an absolute legend. The populace was dying of thirst for leadership and unity, and they were given huge blocks of salt and turned on each other. The last time a leader was set up for such an easy approval ratings layup it was Bush post 9/11.

It's wild that the 2020 election wasn't a complete 1984-scale rout for the republicans. It should've been if they'd had an ounce of gravitas or the ability to lead.

Common Ukrainians are increasingly suffering war exhaustion[1], if current trends continue then next year could reach a point that Zelensky might lose popular support all together.

This is alongside war-support exhaustion from America. One of Trump's campaign promises was to end the war immediately ("in 24 hours", I personally think that specific timeframe is untenable), and he won the popular vote which cements that promise as a popular American mandate.

Wars are oftentimes inevitable, but I am strictly of the mind that if wars must be waged that they be decisive and swift so that human suffering can be kept to the absolute minimum. The war as it stands is neither decisive nor swift, and we (the west) absolutely share responsibility in the blood being shed.

And on the note of blood shed, another commenter asked "Whose lives?"[2] when I rebuked him for calling human lives "cheap". I believe we can all agree that all men are created equal with an unalienable right to life.

If we are seriously going to say certain lives are less valuable than others, then I think Putin has absolutely won his warmongering bet on every front possible. If we are happy to see Ukrainians die in place of our own countrymen so we (the west) can point at Russia and laugh, man maybe we deserve to lose the Pax Americana era.

Yes, that also surprised me and I tested it on multiple mobile Apple devices. It's not really a mistake per se, the implementation is free to do what it wants. Selecting MSAAx2 on these types of mobile GPUs simply has no upside and isn't really supported over MSAAx4 and I guess apple still wanted to make the choice somehow possible, as opposed to Android, where there is only an illusion of choice.

It's just so happens to produce visible artifacts in this case. I suppose for 3D scenes it's mostly fine.
> There isn't anyone that would argue that a single or a group of firms dominating a sizeable amount of market, enough that they could, not that they do, influence and undermine the competitors is a desired status quo.

There are many people that believe monopolies are good, or at least that's what they say. Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen are notable examples that argue monopolies are good for innovation, as they supposedly allow for the flexibility to explore crazier research. I think this argument is bullshit and demonstrably false but there are influential people that advocate for it.
To be fair, that comment was about the claim:

> emerging research showing that up to 40 per cent of the weight lost by people using weight-loss drugs is actually muscle

Which is… obviously bullshit.
It’s a scripting language, not a general purpose one and as such had different design decisions. Next, you’d want a type system and a package manager.
That's something that REALLY irked me when visiting a new city this past weekend.

We were trying to find somewhere to eat... And a labeled map of the city blocks around us would have been perfect. We didn't really care what kind of food we had, we aren't picky folks... We just wanted to know the options to see what sounded good at the time.

But nope, can't see that either.
A bare glp-1 agonist doesn’t, I think, but the weight loss versions are double-acting and do also slow digestion.

I've paid for things when I could have gotten it for free, and also taken things for free when I should have paid for it.

Enough with the false dichotomy.

Are you saying that the IRS will literally officially modify your recorded / reported income and expenses to be different from what you reported, at their discretion, even if based on what they think are plausible reasons?

That still seems like heavy handed overreach to me. Should they not instead contact you for clarifications about the ambiguity?
>I have both a high school and university degree and have never heard of him

I question the value of your education.

Have you also never heard of Shakespeare or Bach?
> Let's not act like this attitude emerged out of thin air. Trump also had an opportunity to bring Americans together against a common threat, and he (and his lookalikes abroad) decided to turn it into the cultural catastrophe that you're now supposing was inevitable.

This kind of depends on the "great man" view of history where these figures have the kind of influence needed to move entire cultures. I don't put much stock in this. No matter how much togetherness rhetoric one threw at the problem the mistakes made in handling the pandemic, while understandable, emboldened and enabled forces that would result in an eventual backlash.

Witness Canada, where we had a government that constantly emphasized togetherness against a common threat, and yet we also got the trucker convoy. Some of this was probably cultural contagion from the US, but not all of it.

I still don't get what LGM is. From what I understood, it isn't actually about any "geospatial" data at all, is it? It is rather about improving some vision models to predict how the backside of a building looks, right? And training data isn't of people walking, but from images they've produced while catching pokemons or something?

P.S.: Also, if that's indeed what they mean, I wonder why having google street view data isn't enough for that.
Probably has some influence. Because everything needs to be an app, implemented as an SPA, rather than just a web page. Hypertext is dead.
