Given the NY Posts leanings I’m not surprised they walked that line by putting it in there.

Media seems to be on an agenda setting tear to disavow the murder, but I think it’s a frankly boot licking response to what is going on here.

I think this spooked a lot of executives (re: “elites” if you will) and there is pressure to ignore the nuance of what the murder means to people and why it isn’t the same as say, stabbing a tech CEO in SF like what happened last year
It is an interesting point.

However, I can do these things without studying social science. Basically what you described is "talking to people" and "gathering information"
It is funny that the sentiment that nothing excuses a murder is being circulated in the US - a country that still carried out death sentences.
Ask HN: Do you feel anxiety if you don't use the -c flag when using cp on macOS?
I think this is something macOS should do automatically whenever it can. You shouldn't have to specify this flag manually.

> You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.

Does the rest of the movie support that claim? Will Hunting had book smarts but required significant effort from several people to get him to the point where he was ready to meaningfully apply his intelligence.

I've hired a handful of folks who learned solely by self-study and while none of them required the level of support Will did, they all took significantly more effort to get to the point where they contributed productively than hires who attended university or had previously collaborated with experts.

Not saying that requires a degree, but even the most brilliant people benefit from collaborating with like minds.
Unfortunately the author and the paper he links apply alpha premultiply to the gamma compressed image. To be correct, this should be done in a linear colorspace. His solution will make some color edge combos get halos.

Basically, alpha in all formats I’ve seen is stored linear, but colors are gamma compressed (sRGB, HDR stuff, etc.). If you apply alpha premultiply, then linearize, you’ve misapplied alpha. If you ignore linearizing (as even this author shows), you get immediate black halos since your blend is effectively multiplying colors, not adding them.
If a cancer patient is denied a claim for life-saving medication because they're 'not sick enough' then dies, is it murder?

I gave up on waiting. I live in Silicon Valley, and was stuck with a 50Mbps DSL line from AT&T. Insane.
I'm trying to figure out if these deaths caused by insurance denials could actually be considered murder. I think they would definitely qualify as being premeditated, but can you consider them "killing"? They are causing death due to omission of expected care, but can the omission of something like medical care be considered the cause of death?
This is a huge result! It seems like it could be a non-trivial amount of the way towards solving the general type of problem of proving that the primes show up with expected density for most "normal" sets of polynomials.
> Cox argues that the DMCA is complex, but it clearly states that the subpoena provision is tied to the larger "notice-and-takedown" framework. These takedowns don't apply to conduit ISPs, therefore the DMCA subpoenas shouldn’t either.

> "When it comes to conduit ISPs, there is no such thing as a DMCA-compliant notification. That is because Congress decided not to subject such ISPs to the notice-and-takedown framework at all. No DMCA notice, no DMCA subpoena."

By the text of the DMCA, Cox is correct. (Nitpick: it doesn't matter whether an ISP is a neutral "conduit" or not. The DMCA still provides no notice-and-takedown requirement for ISPs, except maybe ISPs who store user-uploaded content on their own servers.) But in the BMG Rights Management v. Cox Communications (2018) case, the Fifth Circuit decided that the notice-and-takedown requirement meant only for certain websites would also apply to internet access providers (and now other courts have done the same) [1]:

> The first safe harbor, codified at Section 512(a), applies to providers of “Transitory Digital Network Communications.”[24] Examples of these intermediaries are the companies that provide internet access generally, or what we refer to as “ISPs,” including broadband ISPs like Verizon and Cox.

...

> The third safe harbor, codified at Section 512(c), applies to service providers that enable information to be “stored at the direction of users.”[27] When people speak of the “DMCA,” they are often referring to this safe harbor and the many internet services it covers, such as social media sites or YouTube, where users have published, or “stored,” some “information” they have expressed.[28] Most notably, this safe harbor, which is the most complex of the four in terms of its criteria, includes the requirement that providers abide by a “notice-and-takedown” system.[29] Under this system, the putative copyright holder or its agent sends a “notice,” which is sometimes colloquially referred to as a “takedown demand,” to the service provider alleging that some material a user has posted violates their copyright.[30]

...

> Yet the court still found that Cox lost its safe-harbor defense by not terminating users after having received takedown notices, all of which it apparently needed to regard as presumptively valid, even though, as the court itself acknowledged, many were not.[75]

> In addition, Cox effectively created a new requirement for the 512(a) safe harbor for providers to receive and respond to takedown notices that the statutory text had never before required. Takedown notices are entirely products of the 512(c) safe harbor.[76] While the takedown notices described in 512(c) are also used in the context of the 512(b) and (d) safe harbors, the 512(a) safe harbor makes absolutely no mention of them.

The social sciences are not science and good riddance to them.

They are religious rituals with only the trappings of the scientific method. These rituals are often purely performative, but the outcomes can be useful for effecting political goals, as the studies have historically given authoritative weight to bureaucrats and their designs.

The ruse is failing though, and I think New Zealand's actions here could be evidence of this trend. No longer is "studies show..." a sufficient enough deception for enacting political ends. People are demanding sounder reasoning in politics than what Scientism has to offer.

Most invocations of Scientism are directed at these social sciences, due to its egregiousness.
You missed the word "public". If private individuals or foundations want to spend their own money on whatever then go ahead. But if bureaucrats are allocating tax dollars then there needs to be more careful scrutiny and accountability for results. Is it better to spend public money on this, or a replacement for the HMNZS Manawanui research ship? There are limited funds to go around.

"Murdering a murderer to save many innocents could be considered ethical by some?"

This is a heavy statement.

More I read, heavy it gets.

Kill people it never the answer. The ideia that "I" have the power is weak. People, together, have power, however they don't know what to do. In his case the easiest way to win is pressuring the government, with the people, for clear changes.

Weren't (true) PS/2 keyboards exempt from all of that? Of course someone could always achieve the first one with enough effort, but it would be adding in lots of things from scratch rather than repurposing the existing hardware that many keyboards have now.

And PS/2 had a maximum draw of 100mA so even piggybacking on that would be challenging I'd assume(?) - not an expert. A Teensy which was benchmark for lots of custom keyboards can pull most of that [1].

Ya trellis i think is the current best, i'd imagine what the OPS site is doing is a txt2img+rembg into trellis or another model, and then converted to a blender format... its a nice workflow, though he says he downgraded to a less intense model to save compute right now... which is pretty obvious, it should mention somewhere which model it is currently using
The question isn’t whether it’s important at all, but whether it’s a worthwhile use of taxpayer money compared to other priorities.

With social sciences much of the “qualitative research” involves interviewing a small handful of people, interpreting their responses to fit a preconceived narrative, and then stretching the results into a lengthy paper. This is usually done by using the most convoluted synonyms available and repeatedly invoking terms like “intersectionality”, “lived experience”, and “power structures” to lend the work an academic veneer. The result? A paper that boils down to anecdotal evidence supporting the author’s opinion, which is almost certainly whatever best meshes with their political ideology.
"metric ton" vs "short ton" is a little long but precise. Lately I've been thinking about the economics of plastic materials which are made from monomers which cost about 50 cents per pound or, as it turns out, $1000 per short ton. It is all approximate (prices go up and down) and might as well be per metric ton.

Why not? That’s a good indicator of how much it’s costing,

In the late 90s/early 2000s when languages started promoting general purpose threading, they did so without planning and simply threw locks on everything.

Everyone now pays the cost of that feature whether you use it or not.

Is throwing and catching exceptions across threads a good idea?
In a non-totalitarian state, fining them for the funds is how we force them to do it.

It's not like we're going to start locking up executives for misappropriating public funds and defrauding the government, that's not a crime anyone cares about in this country.
I am not a lawyer, but I would assume that death due to omission of expected care fits pretty neatly under "negligent homicide".
And you and anyone else can still opt to live and suffer if you see value in it. The beauty of freedom is that you can do you, and nobody can force their beliefs on you.

I would also caution with the old adage, don't knock it till you try it. Life in extreme pain is no life at all. Calling on Jesus isn't going to suddenly make excruciating pain more bearable, especially for someone who doesn't believe in Jesus. Maybe toughing it out for a few more weeks or months is worth extra presents in heaven, but unless we have some evidence of that, I think it would be grossly irresponsible, indeed evil, to legislate it. It is, in my opinion the equivalence of torture.
That's not an option. JBIG2 is objectively the best format for compressing black-and-white scanned images. The Adobe Acrobat software has an "optimize scanned PDF" feature that produces this format. It's not obscure at all.
From what I can gather, this[1] is the research paper behind the described transformer, however it's not open access. However there is an available technical report here[2] with details.

The design is based on an autotransformer[3], where the primary and secondary windings are connected in series, so effectively one coil. Section 2 in the technical report has details on how the flexible impedance windings.

It's not as trivial as just adding some more windings, though perhaps in practice that's what it looks like.

Looking stuff up isn’t free, which means it both costs time and frequently doesn’t happen.

Dismissing stuff as trivia doesn’t make that fundamental tradeoff go away. Do you need to know what 7 x 8 is, or the leader of China? No, but the cost of learning commonly used facts is far less than the non existent benefits of ignorance.

Economics is the worst social science, an economist is never considered wrong, only of a different “school of economics”. Economists speak as if they have authority and as if their field is objective, but at the same time have those “schools”.

>Is PHP good for both? I think PHP is NOT good for long running stateful processes, but I didn't use it in 10years. And it probably is not needed for static files.

No, of course it isn't. I didn't touch it with a long pole for even more years and don't even want to. And would not argue to do what you are doing in anything that isn't running on BEAM/OTP.

The point I'm trying to make is -- for most of the web stuff, making transactional response from a short-lived http handler is good enough and you can do it even in PHP (which is not a praise for PHP as a great tool I enjoy using, but the opposite). It would not the most optimal solution by any metric, not the most elegant or sophisticated either, but it's survivable, it's the lowest bidder.

It didn't do well in the Windows transition and doesn't get much of a mention these days, although dataease.com is still developing and releasing stuff (the old DOS editions were the pinnacle and stuff since then is forgettable).

I think your idea of economics is more informed by online debate than actual research. Contemporary economists mostly try to articulate things through econometrics, which is a fairly data driven field. It’s fair if you have issues with the rigor of these studies but a discussion of schools is fairly off base from my experience.

Zeitgeist graffiti, anyone? "When they wage war, we wage war."
You've inspired me today.

It's odd that in almost all walks of life, freedom comes from
non-conformity. In arts, and in science, "progress" is a movement away
from wherever we are. We may not like non-conformists, but we
absolutely rely on them to move forward.

Yet totalitarian technological social systems are the only creation
that make those who conform "more free". By design they limit options
at the margins while enabling those in the middle of the mediocrity
curve. Slavery is freedom. And thus, since time stops for no man or
machine, systems invite their own inevitable destruction.

Technology is not just "a way of not having to experience the world"
(Max Frisch), but a way of not having to experience change. And I
think the "master" that you speak of is fear (fear of things
changing).
It's a little different when a jury of your peers convicts you of a crime which was democratically passed by a legislature, versus a lone gunman who feels he is the judge, jury, and executioner.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use religious arguments on here and I’ve been here since the beginning. Most of those arguments are religious. I do not consider “Euthanasia is against the word and will of God” a sensible argument, though I realize, of course, that like half of humanity would disagree with me. But nobody who has any formal training and philosophy or debate would.

If the opposite of a statement is just as valid as a statement, it is not an argument. For instance, I could say it is God’s will that we do euthanize people so that they don’t suffer, and God gave us the intelligence to find ways to die that are significantly less painful. My argument has no less logic than theirs.

If “nuh uh” is a substantial rebuttal, your argument isn’t sensible.
>Well, if a killing is ethically justified, it isn't murder.

Are you saying this as an opinion, or is this an established thing? I thought murder was an "unlawful killing without justification or valid excuse" (paraphrased from Wikipedia), whether one finds it ethical or not is sort of beside the point. Especially because there is no objectively correct ethics.

But, I'm not a lawyer, this is just my understanding.
Consent has been manufactured that if you kill through indirect means then you’re good to go!
Well, the events you are seeing unfolding is change around the established systems.

Also without this murder, we could imagine that the NYPost would have never written this article to alert on the malfeasance of healthcare providers...

Why wouldn't they do their part as a news org, and why did they wait for the murder to publish such an article, if that murder was not "needed" for things to change, then?
