Right, the problem is that apparently shells haven't seen user need for selectively redirecting one or the other. Like I might want to see foo's stdout on the terminal, but pipe stderr (and only stderr) to grep, perhaps so I only see some specific error messages that I care about. `2>&1` will send stderr to stdout, and then the pipe will send everything to grep (and I believe `|&` does the same).

(To be fair, that does seem like a pretty rare use case.)

He's using this as an opportunity to paint the current federal administration, and state administration in NJ, as being incompetent, negligent and putting people in harms way.

> Are PDF parsers really so bad nowadays (this article is over 10 years old), that opening a PDF opens you up to vulnerabilities?

Yep, here’s an Acrobat Reader release from two days ago that fixes two arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities since the previous one two months ago: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb24-92....

I haven’t looked into browser-embedded PDF viewers enough to know how they compare to other software – they’re definitely much safer than Acrobat and still not completely safe (e.g. CVE-2023-1530 in Chrome wasn’t that long ago) – but I would expect them to be at least as safe as other browser functionality.

> Is that because PDFs natively have support for say executing code (i doubt)

They do (https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/using/applying-actions-sc..., including “Run a JavaScript”, although that has to be enabled), but indeed that’s not the one fundamental issue; it’s usually just standard vulnerabilities of memory unsafety or terrible design (XML).

I think the key feature of great AR is that we don't have it yet, so there are no limits on what capabilities you can imagine it could have.

If you instead think of each dreamed about great AR application as a smartphone app, an uncomfortable realism creeps in about how apps work and that someone has to build and integrate them

"But if I could put on glasses and see what’s going on with my car and then be guided through that process, that would be cool. "

It would. And if we built that smartphone app, it would be really useful today. But doing that, for the general case of "what am I looking at, and how do I fix it" is AGI-hard
Much of the story of the Russian empire, Germany's unification, WW1, WW2 and even today's war in Ukraine can be told by dragging this timeline from 1000 to modern day and focusing on Poland.

The east/west lines of Poland from 1029-1569 roughly correspond to today's east/west lines. But between now and then Poland shifts east then back west. Only after a ton of wars and death:

1. Poland basically expands massively to become Poland-Lithuania

2. Poland-Lithuania gets eaten by Germany (Prussia) to the west and Russia to the east.

3. Poland reappears, but entirely shifted east in the 1800s

4. Poland gets eaten by Russia again

5. Poland reappears after WW1

6. Poland gets eaten by Germany and Russia again in WW2

7. Poland shifts back west by Stalin and his mass population transfer program. Back almost to the original east-west borders of medieval Poland.

This is obviously a simplification of a 1000 years of history.
Fascinating. Are they still hearsay, then, given that there is no declarant?

I'm not sure what you're pointing at precisely, is it the closing of Oculus account support and the aftermath ?

If so, is Google's Play Store allowing users with no Google account to download the apks ? Or the Google Nest Hub if we want to stay on hardware platforms.

The current ad infested and SEO bound internet comes straight from Google's influence. Same way current android repeated most of Apple's dark patterns, with all the blackmailing phone makers on the side.

TBH comparing Google and Meta feels like closing both eyes and choosing if the right side is darker than the left (I'm not saying we should forgive any, I just don't see one having a moral high ground at this point)
This is a very cool UI, and I love the inclusion of the Wikipedia links. The overaly of a modern map as you zoom in is interesting, and very helpful for orientation.

Makes me wonder how hard it would be to show things like historical coastlines in England and the Netherlands, or historical watercourses, but I guess that could be both hard to visualize, and you'd have to compile that data from a lot of different sources.

I have two nitpicks with this type of view of historical world maps (not this project specifically, it just employs a visual vernacular that I have opinions about):

1.Drawing a border around an area and shading it in doesn't mean the same thing in all times and places. It might be a state with a central government as we think of them now, or it might be a collection of states or proto-states that are conventionally grouped by common features of their cultures, or it might just be an area where the pottery is consistently similar.

2. More importantly I think the areas _outside_ the shading can be misleading, too: it makes the world look empty, even though most of the world (but not all! especially in the places settled by the Polynesians much later) definitely had people in it by the time this timeline starts.

There are probably 100x more stories about needlessly painful and drawn-out deaths.

It’s a “one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic” sort of thing. Rare cases of abuses of “voluntary” death are unusual and get attention. Common cases where dying people want to end their suffering and can’t are uninteresting, we all know it happens and we probably all know someone it happened to, and we just don’t think about it.
Thank you! I have argued this point so many times on HN :).
This is a wider problem in general and an odd bit of history: scientific papers pre-date the internet, and as such the reference system exists pre-computation. the DX-DOI system is a substantial improvement, but it's not the convention or expectation - and IMO also insufficient.

Realistically, all papers should just be including a list of hashes which can be resolved exactly back to the reference material, with the conventional citation backstopping that the hash and author intent and target all match.

But that runs directly into the problem of how the whole system is commercialized (although at least requiring publishers to hold proofs they have a particular byte-match for a paper on file would be a start).

Basically we have a system which is still formatted around the limitations of physical stacks of A4/Letter size paper, but a scientific corpus which really is too broad to only exist in that format.
The most frustrating part of Kubernetes (and I like k8s) is its data schema story:

* Go types are converted to Protobuf via go-to-protobuf.

* Protobuf generates OpenAPI specs and JSONSchemas via kube-openapi.

* Users rely on tools and DSLs to manage the complexity of YAML manifests.

This pipeline prioritizes some convenience for the core team over simplicity for end users. In the end, that minimal convenience transmutes into layers of convoluted code generators to maintain for the core team, and unwieldy, tens-of-thousands-of-lines schemas for the end users.

Also, does Kubernetes really benefit enough from Protobuf to justify the complexity? k8s IPC and network traffic likely account for a small fraction of overall app traffic. Perhaps JSON and schemas for validation could be enough.

The proliferation of tools to manage YAML manifests is a sign of room for improvement. Perhaps a "k8s 2.0" could start with JSONSchemas: this could encourage minimal, flat, simple, and user-friendly schemas, and hopefully a more coherent internal pipeline.

I was referring specifically to BVLOS operations at night. It's doubtful if there are any nearby operators of these craft that they're within legit LOS. Combination of BVLOS and night operations is presently only found in very special circumstances and test ranges like at Pendleton.

Of the number of operators who have active BVLOS waivers I am aware of, such as for powerline, pipeline survey and delivery operations, very few or none are trying to also operate at night.
> Then the abusers will have a new system to game, and they will be less successful for a while. But that doesn't happen in the US, because the Congress has long been unable or unwilling to do its job.

The simple solution is to remove the employer lock-in, so once an immigrant gets in, they have 6-7 years to job hop. If an employer truly needs foreign talent that it can't get locally, they'd have to have competitive compensation and working conditions. If they don't, they just wasted the sponsorship fees. I don't think there's a way they could effectively game that (especially if you also ban contracts where the immigrant has to repay the sponsor if they job hop).

The fact that the H1B program hasn't been reformed in this way, tells me its real purpose (at least nowadays) is to provide a source of cheaper labor to undercut American workers.

ImageNet dataset is the main thing AFAIK. But even so I find Dr. Li's contribution big enough. For a context, datasets for computer vision at her time were mostly small, so nn was rarely considered a good method for CV. Not until AlexNet won the challenge, and the world changes after that. I remember many people initially scoffed at ImageNet, arguing that the dataset was flawed and that a “bad” method like NN (AlexNet) could only win because of those flaws. Simply saying “paying” is an understatement because we also need to account for the academic politics of her time.
A little fun fact, even if most research papers nowadays try to propose new dataset, if we take imagenet and pretrain the backbone, we usually end up with a very strong baseline.

Btw, not sure why you think Karpathy has a bigger impact than Fei-Fei Li. I can't think what he is doing that is actually changing the playing field.
Yes, it's a well known fact that opinions can change. And yes, there's certainly a tiny subset of euthanized individuals who would regret their decision if they were still around to regret it.

When it comes to bodily autonomy, we generally strongly err on the side of respecting one's "opinion at the present time" vs. "the possibility of a different opinion in the future".

What is the intent behind your statement? Are you suggesting that we deny people bodily autonomy "just in case"?
This basically describes Slack vs Teams as a case study. Teams launches, Slack says "good luck with that," MS basically gives Teams away for free and gains market share, then SAP acquires Slack.
Both the lack of hydration and morphine were his choice, and he was lucid. My brother was angry that Dad decided to "give up." I wasn't, but was horrified at the ease with which the staff complied and knew exactly what to do.
No, it's really just a single idea about what constitutes corruption and what constitutes doing the work of the people. I don't know how to put it more clearly: If we pay for the solution to a problem, people who aren't addressing that problem shouldn't end up with the money.

> Voucher qualified schools meet the same state test standard and exceed public school performance on those metrics.

That's not true in my state. From https://www.cde.state.co.us/cdechart/faq

>> A charter school has flexibility through waivers; however, in exchange for this flexibility, the charter school is bound by contract to be held accountable for meeting the performance-based objectives specified in the charter.

They only have to meet goals that they set for themselves, not the state's goals.

> And your phrasing implies it’s discriminating on something other than academic aptitude, or at least reasonable participation.

It was not trying to imply that something like racial discrimination was going on. My objection is to publicly funded institutions selecting students by academic aptitude (or how well they speak english, or whether they have health problems that will interrupt with the school day. As it turns out, those things correlate with skin color around here, but that's a separate conversation).

I mean, by all means be selective, just don't expect to get tax money for it. What the public is paying for is the educator of last resort. We're not paying taxes so that your A student can go to Harvard, we're paying taxes so that your D student has a shot at community college. One of those is cheap to teach, the other is expensive. Charter schools scoop up the cheap ones and pocket the extra, leaving public schools without the resources to handle the difficult ones. That's why this isn't the case:

> Vouchers give money to education for all kids.

Public schools do things like vision and hearing tests or free lunch so that all of their students have an equal shot at basic things like being able to see the board and study without being hungry. That's not a model that works if you just allocate the same dollar amount to each student and make policies that act like kids are fungible.

Doing so would be like funding the 911 call center such that each citizen gets one call per quarter, and you get cut off once you run out of calls. This whole every-man-an-island perspective just isn't effective at solving any of the problems we have.

Because they are ok. Why wouldn’t they be? You don’t get bonus points after life for suffering on “hardcore”.

Because you’ll die anyway.

> If TPU's are really that good why on earth would google not sell them.

nVidia sells nearly 4M GPUs per year. Google claims like 100K TPUs. Scaling a production line by 10x is very difficult and Google has not shown aptitude in this area of expertise.

Even if Google wanted to scale 10x I'm not sure they could. nVidia is believed to be taking like half of TSMC's new capacity (existing capacity is not idle). I suppose technically that means the other half could be consumed by Google but it's likely TSMCs other customers wouldn't appreciate that.

From the videos, these don't look like traditional photography drones, they are much larger. My money is on eVTOL aircraft. There are hundreds of companies developing them and most are completely unknown to the public.

One of them is probably intensifying their testing program and doesn't want news to leak out too early.

Are these concerns well founded?

Because outside of the less than a dozen cases that were roundly criticized across the board, and resulted in no deaths, I can't find any evidence that this is happening or will happen in Canada.
I think it's perhaps not quite that. If this post[0] is correct, then this is Google's intended way of doing things. They intentionally do not have strong leadership, because they don't believe that's the best way for them to operate.

Whether or not that's "right" or "wrong" (or neither) is of course up for debate. I personally think they could probably use at least some top-down initiatives here and there, but overall I think having most of their decisions be bottom-up is a nice way to work. I think their culture around that may not be quite right, though, as it seems to incentivize project-hopping and not seeing things through past the explosive "wow factor" phase.

One of my most strange and wonderful audio adventure i ever had. I remember the first time i got my hand on "The Wall" album and listened to it in complete darkness, lights out. It got me into an adventure through all the album. I could not understand the lyrics at the time, as i am not a english native speaker, the sound alone told an incredible journey through emotions and i swear i could see lots of things in the darkness. I remember that when i finished listening to the album i was emotionally in tears...
>She passed, he called his doctor and less than a week later he was also dead.

this doesn't sound right? MAiD has a 90-day waiting period. He had to have started that process before his wife passed, and just picked the date after she passed.
Yea, I don't understand this. Is "the woke mind virus" as another poster in this thread called it also responsible for me putting my 14 year old dog with aggressive cancer down? Of course not. Death came for her and it would have been cruel to prolong the suffering. Pretty simple, and it's no different for humans.
A long time ago, Windows was a simple, hassle-free system to run games on. I knew Linux, but I knew Linux would take time to maintain and tinker around with, since that was my job. Thus, my private systems stuck with Windows.

Then Wine and especially Steam and Proton started to get to work, and Windows started to turn anti-consumer to a degree. At that point, I was kinda on the fence. Actively switching seemed somewhat scary, but if I had to setup something new, it was kinda... meh either way.

Then my Windows-OS SSD died. So I had to reinstall my OS anyway. Then I made the choice to install Fedora and switch back to Windows when it grows annoying. That was... two or three or more years ago? And the thing is, games work. Apps work. Funny enough, old games work better with DosBox and Wine than on windows. I have like two old games I can't get to run, but that's mostly because I don't have the energy to figure out QEMU with Direct3D support, which VirtualBox dropped some time ago for security reasons.

And now I'm looking at stuff like this.

One fun thing I've realized over my career is that often times the old techniques age like wine. They were created in a crucible limited by hardware and bandwidth. Now that hardware is better, the good shit just works better.

There's gold in those old papers, and there are opportunities to use the old magic, today.

Perceptrons were concieved of in the 1960s!

Even after LLMs, developers STILL don't have a sense of the sheer scale of what a GPU is capable of parallelizing.

I can think of a half dozen innovations gamedev's came up with in the 90s that could be enterprise B2B SaaS products today.

Before I go on too big of a ranting tangent. Back to the original article: I'd still use the technique in the article in unity way before I'd use unity's built in terrain system. Wouldn't work great on mobile, but for every other platform it'd work great and could be implemented trivially AND I could write semi normal shaders for it.

I think raymarching signed distance fields for terrain is another interesting technique worth looking into. Costs a lot of fill rate, but it's got interesting properties.
It's not super clear from the article, but it kinda feels like Google isn't intending to do more hardware. It seems like Android XR is a platform to get other companies to take on that risk.

It feels like Google wants there to be an answer to Apple Vision Pro, still isn't completely sold on the idea, but wants someone else to build it using Android. I'm not sure what other Android-using company would want to take that on, though. This feels a little risky even for Samsung; I'm curious what their "Project Moohan" device will look like... will it be crazy expensive and high-tech like AVP, or will it be something much more lightweight? The photos out there seem to suggest something lower-end than AVP, but it's hard to tell.
