Blast from the past... by the time this made its way to me circa 1998 it was embedded in a Microsoft Word file and controlled by mouse. I thought it was cool but was disappointed that it wasn't a full-fledged game because I was a child that had no awareness of demoscene or programming. In retrospect I've always thought this was just some chintzy DirectX demo that made the rounds via e-mail - I had no idea it was a real thing.
Before that:

The article mentions that police bathroom breaks would still be recorded, but would just need a subpoena.

Facepalm.
It's not at all a bold claim. The founder of the Oath Keepers was convicted, tried, and found guilty of "seditious conspiracy" in a court of law.

You are are either lying, or guilty of severe inattention, if you go around claiming that "all the evidence we have seen" shows that. e.g.

Show HN: Drop-In Out-of-Distribution Data Detector
Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection is possibly the most important problem for safe and deployable ML, because it provides the first line of defense by preventing silent failures in critical ML systems; bounds AI capabilities by recognition of model knowledge; allows for safe fallback and enables human oversight when needed.

Forte takes a novel approach to OOD detection with several key advantages. It utilizes self-supervised representations to capture semantic features while incorporating manifold estimation to account for local topology. Care has been taken to minimize deployment overhead; by eliminating additional model training requirements. Furthermore, it requires no class labels, no exposure to OOD data during training, and no restrictions to architecture of predictive or generative models. We have demonstrated strong domain generalization – having tested it on detecting synthetic data, MRI images etc.
That's a hard no.

"So many ordinary objects and experiences have become technologized—made dependent on computers, sensors, and other apparatuses meant to improve them—that they have also ceased to work in their usual manner. It’s common to think of such defects as matters of bad design. That’s true, in part. But technology is also more precarious than it once was. Unstable, and unpredictable. At least from the perspective of human users. From the vantage point of technology, if it can be said to have a vantage point, it's evolving separately from human use."

So basically: "You're too stupid to figure out how to use things, you think they are badly designed because they require thinking apart from a heuristic that you use, and then therefore in a word 'stupid' "

Sorry Charlie. That's not a defect. That's someone not wanting to deal with something well shitty (no one flushing because they are (also no pun intended) a piece of shit.

That's why automatic flush was invented.

Now if they didn't make toilets for your 3 year old (they do but that's a specialist thing and in a public area normally not a high priority outside of an elementary school) doesn't mean that the object is badly designed.

If this comment thread dropped to the level of twitter somewhere, it's the second level comment ("malevolent child"). I'm not sure what sort of vrai-thinking response you expect to that.
In case you're interested, I have adopted a pattern that works for me in bash (I don't use zsh so caveat shellator)

N=${N:-} # if you use (-u)
$N rm ./whatever

and then you can exercise the script via

N=echo ./something-dangerous

but without the N defined it will run it as expected. More nuanced commands (e.g. rsync --delete --dry-run which will provide a lot more detail about what it thinks it is going to do) could be written as `rsync --delete ${N:+--dry-run}` type deal
I find LLMs helpful for starting projects, but I don't see how they are helpful for finishing projects. Finishing is about cutting the scope and re-considering the goals based on discovered constraints, which is more like analytical work, then creative (generative) one.
I suspect it doesn’t.
Not the point. If you can grow then why are Canadian supermarket produce so awful compared to American tomatoes and raspberries? Think about that for a second and why that would be the case, if not for fundamental geographic limitations (the objective length of the growing season and the angle of sunlight). BC in particular is inferior and Montrealers moving here have made this exact complaint, it's not "just" me, sounds like you're in filter bubble.

Instead of rudely retorting 'it sounds like a you issue' why don't you not make such an arrogant assumption and suppose I had a deeper reason for saying what I did, that actually is based on experience and research rather than a superficial tour through Delta in peak summer. Don't argue back; just ask why.
Ya, but then hurricane Katrina happened and he flubbed it.
The IMF is by definition the lender of last resort, when banks and investors find a country so fiscally irresponsible that they cannot access reasonable funding. It is not exactly surprising that those kinds of basket case economies also fail when given IMF loans given that people predicted they were going to do that and stopped lending.

Technical art is definitely my first love in software. I'm excited for godot to add an easier compute shader pipeline for post processing effects - their current compositor plugin set up is a bit boiler plate intensive.

Yup. T5 used a combination of MAP and temp sensors to do its fuel mappings. The system was able account for fuel quality by adjusting the spark timing and boost amount via controlling a solenoid valve down to whatever the actually physical waste gate spring was set to.

The later T7 system involved a MAF sensor behind the intake, while still retaining the temp sensors and MAP but changed the fuel mapping in the system to be a speed - density system for greater control and better boost handling with large temp and altitude changes. (T5 shot for a pressure value t7 shot for a target air mass).

There is software called t5suite / t7suite that allowed you to remap everything in the ECU, basically letting you modify the system in every possible way but not making you do all the setup that a complete stand alone unit would make you setup. It was and is, amazing. You could flash an ECU via BDM interface out of car, and in later T7 models actually make real time changes on a laptop that would immediately take effect. Later you could write them to the ECU flash (it requires more than 12v to flash, although some people rigged things up so they could also flash the memory in car).

Good times. I still have a t7 Saab on my lawn. My custom tune isn't the best, but it went damn good.

Interesting to note, the MAF in the t7 could be placed on the pressure side of the world and it would work perfectly fine minus the fact that they would die a lot quicker due to oils and such on the pressure side of the turbo. People sometimes did this as it was the only way to run a true blow off valve for cool effect. If the MAF is in the stick location and you do not recirculate that air, the car would be fueling for XYZ air density but you'd have dumped some out of the closed system and it ran rich as hell and like crap .

>What the heck? When did this sort of economically irresponsible thinking become so mainstream?

It's not "irresponsible" to deny the existence of some utopia where everyone's interests align. It's not worth competing with virtual slave labor. A perpetual race to the bottom is not what we should be striving for. With our current standard of living, or even half of it, we don't make anything that is going to be economical to export in the long run.

>The benefits of protectionism are what are short-term, but they leave both us and China materially poorer in the long term.

You're not entirely wrong. There is a cost to duplicating effort. What is the cost of not being independent? Your country's sovereignty and maybe your life. Let us take care of ourselves as best we can and import only a small amount of stuff.

>Life today is better than it was in the 1950s — and a large part of that is knowing our comparative advantage and leaning into it, not trying to restore long-dead industries by political fiat and throwing trillions in good resources after bad initiatives.

I think many would argue that life is worse today than it was in the 50s. Sure we have more consumer goods, but housing is unaffordable and many people are working well beneath their capacity at meaningless make-work jobs in the service industry. The "long-dead industries" you speak of are alive and well, just not HERE. Not because others are necessarily doing those things better either. It is all about labor costs and regulations in conjunction with international competition.

>If we want to help workers who are struggling - then tax more and redistribute more.

First of all, many aren't working at all because there are no good jobs for them. Second of all, what exactly are we going to tax if everything is offshored consistent with the current trend? What are we going to buy our imports with, the land under our feet (which is finite and also our home)? Increasingly worthless paper, promises to drop bombs or not drop bombs somewhere, etc.?

>If we want to help workers who are struggling - then tax more and redistribute more. Don’t throw a wrench into mutually beneficial trade (and completely sabotage our critical climate goals while we are at it, it makes no sense that we treat BYD the way we do).

Oh yes, nothing more critical to cutting pollution than shipping giant logs to China to be turned into toothpicks. Give me a break. It makes total sense that we treat BYD the way we do. It is unfair competition that would destroy one of the few industries we have left, and China isn't exactly eager to buy cars from us (nevermind that they cost too much for the Chinese anyway). We might all be better off if every country produced what it could. It may lead to new discoveries in design and production methods. And if international trade was not an issue, countries could freely copy each other's IP for domestic use. That last part might be too optimistic but monopolies create stagnation.

The metaverse craze was hilarious. I heard of a large retailer that paid ~$0.5 million to hold their annual all-hands in a metaverse "venue". The whole thing collapsed under the weight of a few hundred attendees and they had to revert to a zoom call.
I think you're right that it's 'hygge'-like. Saudade is a common Portuguese word, and (as far as I know) not limited to loving people, but also open to wider nostalgia. It apparently stems from solitatem (solitude). That it would apply to ABBA's music seems to me the result of the artistic-intellectual tendency to re-interpret everything in the opposite direction.

Ahhhhhh, I also misunderstood your comment. Yeah, I hear you. Maybe you can keep the starch water in airtight container...not sure. I don't keep starch water for the next time I'll cook pasta. I just use the currently made starch water to create a sauce. Highly recommended! But, as mentioned in the research, wait for the water to cool down a bit. Or make a risottata in a pan. <- also highly recommended if you have a pan big enough.
They could be for cutting scope, or getting to the start line for shipped.
This is already happening in countries around the Mediterranean, such as Greece.
Not recommended for a first timer!! I played with some friends, made it to the ragnarok fight, thought, “hmm does that lava kill you on touch or only do fast damage over time?” Asked friends and they all said they remembered it being fast dots. Tippy toe goes in, and there goes 20 hours :(

How about an apple ad with some latino people? That is increasingly the majority demographic in many metro regions these days but its not really reflected in mainstream media beyond the scant amount of token representation there’s been for decades.
The capturing rig itself is pretty simple. It's a straightforward project box you can get from amazon. The camera is an astro camera, but you don't need that- a straightforward USB camera from Arducam would work fine (it has to be a wide angle or accept wide angle lenses. Or a raspberry pi High quality camera.
That plugs into a raspberry pi which runs some sort of script or cron job to take a still image. There are CLI tools to do this as well as modify the camera settings (exposure, white balance, etc). There are some holes drilled in the case with a simple plexi dome. Note inside the dome is a ring of resistors which are given electricty through a relay (which is under software control by the pi) to heat up and keep the enclosure clear. I also see a pressure/humidity sensor (likely used to control the relay) and a fan and some desiccant to help keep it dry.

For the software processing you can use anything; I would write a python script to create a large canvas, and then downscale the images and place them at the appropriate location. You could also load the whole dataset into a large tensor and do anything you want with it.

It feels intimidating at first sight, but this looks like a very cool idea.
I wouldn't sweat it. It was probably just one of our resident "transcendent biohackers" who thinks eating is an impediment to maximizing their human potential.

Stim use is an effective appetite suppressant, after all.
exactly. thats my entire point. there is $3tr+ sloshing around in the crypto economy from crypto natives. just scrap any idea that isnt catering directly to crypto natives.

philisters on HN are not our clientele. they’ll never get it and it doesnt matter anymore. but if you are a developer or “BUIDL” er there are unique system designs that are superior than anything web2.0 infrastructure has to offer.

Very cool! I love the Volvo 940- it stands out as one of the best quality, and best designed cars ever made. It's an incredibly mature design evolved slowly from the Volvo 140 in the 1960s through the 240 in the 70s and the 740 in the 80s, and by the 940 they worked out almost any possible issue. I only wish one could have gotten them with AWD and a fuel efficient diesel (they had the latter but it was not sold here in the USA).

The author seems to have a lot of electrical hacking knowledge, but didn't know some car stuff that could have made getting these controls installed much easier:

1) They could have just swapped in a newer BOSCH ABS pump, which can activate the brakes electrically without involving the brake booster. European cars started getting these when they got traction control in the late 90s, but I believe some would be virtually (or maybe even exactly) a direct swap into this vehicle. I was able to do this in a VW with about 10 minutes of work, which uses the same basic ABS systems as Volvo. This is assuming the car already had factory ABS which I think most (but possibly not all) 940s did.

2) They could fix the steering problem by swapping in an entire electric steering rack- they're fairly standard dimension wise, installing a fully manual rack from a Volvo 240, or adding an A/C compressor clutch to the hydraulic power steering pump to disable it above parking speeds (the only time torque would be high anyways). Moreover, these racks are strong enough to simply work with the hydraulic assist removed, because people in the Volvo racing/performance community do it all the time.

3) This car does not have a carburetor- it is electrically fuel injected. You can see the fuel injectors and rail above the throttle body. This could be just a mistranslation if the author is not a native english speaker. However, more importantly there was a factory system on this car to electrically control the throttle for the cruise control. They are missing those parts, but they are cheap and common, and would have just dropped in to a bracket and cam already on his engine. They consist of a vacuum servo on the throttle itself connected to a box that can actuate this with an electrical signal.
But in reality, this has been the status quo for all of
Humanity. It’s just that we now have this infinite ledger via the internet to document it. Only 200 years ago, your “honest opinion” would find you in the gallows more often than not across the world. This “progressed” to social exile in lieu of said gallows, and now to seeking out the like minded in echo chambers. I will hold out hope that interfacing with articulate AI’s can support more people to regain their identity and confidence where so many lack the courage to try publicly (or are surrounded by the foolish).
I would frame it a bit differently. Async scales very elegantly if and only if your entire software stack is purpose-built for async.

The mistake most people are making these days is mixing paradigms within the same thread of execution, sprinkling async throughout explicitly or implicitly synchronous architectures. There are deep architectural conflicts between synchronous and asynchronous designs, and trying to use both at the same time in the same thread is a recipe for complicated code that never quite works right.

If you are going to use async, you have to commit to it with everything that entails if you want it to work well, but most developers don't want to do that.

Arrgh, the flashbacks. Sometimes I regret the extinction of European movie studios, but then there are these examples of ponderous depressing twaddle ...
It's quite big in European Portuguese and has always been, it's not a Brazilian thing.

Deep longing is close, but it's more nuanced, and it doesn't have to be longing for someone, it can be someplace or activity, it also involves a kind of active recollection where you try to relive stuff in your memory, and there's an element of hope that you will experience whatever it is you miss again.

So the rest are actually OK with Whatsapp/Signal having the opportunity to see their messages? I would submit that most are not even aware of the issue...

The identity thing is basically the usability issue for E2EE messaging. If you don't solve that then you have not actually increased usability in a meaningful way. The PGP community understood this and did things like organize key signing parties. When is the last time anyone did anything like that for any popular E2EE capable instant messenger?
Or, pertinent to the subject at hand, how the Oklahoma City bombing was tied to the right wing militia movement and they’re still mostly seen as, well, a bunch of white dudes blowing off steam like you said. In that case, it seems like people saw that they got the perpetrators and that’s that, not considering what sort of circumstances produced them and where it might go in the future.

And WTC and OKC were (at least somewhat) successful attacks! J6 caused damage but failed. We’re really bad at taking failed attempts seriously.
iPhone displays are most definitely made in South Korea. Some of the components are made in Japan as well, not much is made in the USA beyond the software stack (which you are also most definitely paying for since SWEs aren’t cheap!). Also iPhones are made in SEZs (none of the components are tariffed in these zones), so they are tariffed when imported into China.

I doubt Trump tariffs will be based on value add. It would be a logistical nightmare, and he doesn’t strike me as someone who thinks too deeply about these things.
