I think you're right that it's partly a subconscious association with what we're used to seeing at higher frame rates (TV and video games).

But it's also that a DP / cinematographer on a movie is crafting shots in ways that knowingly make use of a 24 fps framerate. There are consciously chosen effects that are in the shot, particularly directional motion blur that acts as a visual cue (like in action sequences or with hand-held cameras), which gets destroyed when the frame rate is increased without adding additional blur in the right places in post. Rather than a smoothly increasing/decreasing blur that creates a sort of ease-in-out as the camera or subject changes speed, you end up with jagged, rapid shifts in direction and speed which make well-crafted motion sequences feel either jarring or as if they're not really moving. I suspect that if a director were shooting originally at 60 fps they would have probably made the necessary adjustments in post production to achieve the effects they wanted, which they initially got by tuning their shots to 24 fps. But when it's done automatically by some software in a TV set, all of that subtlety is lost.

It's sort of like if you took an oil painting and say the colors look more lifelike in digital reproduction: That may be true, but it wasn't the artist's intent. The artist understood they were working with a particular palette and worked within its limitations to achieve their desired effects.

My contention is that it's not the higher frame rate which bothers people, per se, but that all the motion blur (slight as well as heavy) in a well-shot 24 fps movie is intentional, and therefore the problem is that removing it detracts from the intended effect of the shot. If you chose to replicate the original blur across 60 fps, rather than interpolate the sharpest possible interstitial frames, people might not have the same negative reaction.
Oh, no it's a thin client. Everyone, get the pitchforks.

Sure, but so is a highway, or a river. Doesn't mean those should be built to runway standards.
"Pure" flippers and drop shippers who do none of the value adding work of buying large lots and retailing them, holding things over time, etc are both a worthless drag on the economy and a great argument against equivalent financial products.

Same thing, I have been using .email for maybe 10 years I believe at this point. It works 99% of the time, I just have a few backup emails like “name.[email|net|me]”, so usually when the system does not accept “.email”, I just give “.net” instead.

I registered a .email address for my surname when I saw it was available. However, I never ended up using it. I just imagined if I ever told anyone my email address was "first name at last name dot email", they'd probably think I didn't really understand how email worked or was trying to give them a fake address.

Over the past decade I've had far worse luck with Windows for power-management-related problems.

Wayland is indeed an embarrassment, but it adds approximately 0 value for most users, so you can just tell everyone to use X11 still and everything will just work.

(my most recent peeve stopping me from using Wayland: Firefox no longer remembers which windows belong on which virtual desktops. I don't know whose bug this would be by normal rules, but if you want to replace the entire ecosystem, you have to take responsibility to fix ALL of the bugs)
This is probably only the tenth or eleventh most-important question to answer about why this disaster happened, unfortunately.
Boils down to "use Frida to find the arguments to the TensorFlow call beyond the model file"

Key here is, a binary model is just a bag-of-floats with primitively typed inputs and outputs.

It's ~impossible to write up more than what's here because either:

A) you understand reverse engineering and model basics, and thus the current content is clear you'd use Frida to figure out how the arguments are passed to TensorFlow

or

B) you don't understand this is a binary reverse engineering problem, even when shown Frida. If more content was provided, you'd see it as specific to a particular problem. Which it has to be. You'd also need a walkthrough by hand about batching, tokenization, so on and so forth, too much for a write up, and it'd be too confusing to follow for another model.

TL;Dr a request for more content is asking for a reverse engineering article to give you a full education on modal inference

I don't believe the claim is radio echolocation, but radio spectroscopy.

I didn't read the paper yet, but I predict from the comments in this HN thread, that the proposed system is essentially a dielectric spectroscopy setup optimized for glucose detection (or any number of proxy byproducts/complexes/etc..)

Check this wikipedia page for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_spectroscopy

Look at the picture on the right, from typically lower to higher frequencies there is the motion response of ions, the reorientation response of molecules with a dipole moment, the excitation of vibrational modes in a molecule and the electronic excitation of electrons switching orbitals...

EDIT: since I have not read the article, I do not vouch for its authenticity (above my paygrade)
Right, you get it: it's a Frida problem.

Well this is just categorically wrong.

There are some very good works out there that can provide tangible benefit.

There are requirements inherent in the audience that are needed to receive benefit.

You have to be able to critically discern the misleading propaganda and other crap which many people cannot do, but some people can.

The people who are never helped, are the people who can't discern what amounts to lies from truth (without intention). Bad information may work to get a positive result in an authors circumstance, but it may not apply broadly.

People are fallible, and its important to recognize words like all, none, never, always, need to be used properly or be discarded as false statements.

Information can be valid, while not being sound.
Now for the most important question: can you run DOOM on it? :)

If you serve insecurely, that means allowing downgrade attacks and malware injection for clients who are trying to do the right thing.

At least if you use HTTP it is blatantly insecure.
Absolutely correct! Had the bird strike not occurred, there wouldn’t have been a crash. Had things with the go around been handled properly, there would have been no crash.

Etc etc. The fact that a wall was 50m out of compliance or whatever it ends up being will be a footnote at best in the review of this crash.
For now, it is better to assume it is the truth.

The simple fact that models are released under license, which may or may not be free, imply that it is intellectual property. You can't license something that is not intellectual property.

It is a standard disclaimer, if you disagree, talk to your lawyer. The legal situation of AI models is such a mess that I am not even sure that a non-specialist professional will be of great help, let alone random people on the internet.

What's the actual attack surface for an outdated home PC? My understanding is the threat to win PCs is 50% you clicked the wrong link (outdated browser problem, not OS) and 50% lateral move (probably not meaningful in a home environment?). Like if I plugged my Windows 7 laptop, last updated 2018 into my network, what would happen?

What I'm getting at is "instead of throwing out your old PC you can install Linux" is just a long winded way of saying "throw out your old PC" for many people. I think "here's how to keep running an old PC safely" would be more useful advice.

I like using it for library function comments, variable name recovery, and sometimes types.

That's the point. They want to drive off amateurs who are trying to liquidate dads old tools in favor of the guys who are doing that stuff in professional volumes and the professional dealers and importers who are buying lots of stuff and breaking them up for retail sale and "real businesses" who run an eBay store alongside their other ecommerce stuff. They were pretty transparent about their motives IIRC.
You're mainly paying for the software on this device, keeping everything in Intune is a big selling point rather than having to fiddle around with third-party thin client management software from the vendor. If this device supported Azure Virtual Desktop it'd be a no-brainer for orgs that lean heavily on it like mine.
> That race condition has nothing to do with long polling, it's just poor design. The sender should stick the message in a queue and the client reads from that queue.

How does that help? You can't pop from a queue over HTTP because when the client disconnects you don't know whether it saw your response or not.

Taking your statement of factualness at face value, this councillor is behaving shamelessly and inappropriately, in a manner that would not be politically advantegous if discovered more broadly.

While it may not solve your immediate problem of wishing to remain anonymous, it may be worthwhile writing of this to Private Eye. (https://www.private-eye.co.uk/). If they shine a light on you, shining it back may be your best bet.

As someone who runs a political blog in the UK, you are almost certainly aware of the magazine's existence. However for others, the magazine features a consistent section of the shameful acts one finds across local councils across the UK. While the readership is niche and the content is almost exclusively in print, not online, it has an outsized impact in media and political circles.
Same here. But I can’t oversee the irony. I was sold.

Just a few lines in, and I can tell this should be complementary with Debt: The First 5,000 years by the late David Graeber. Much of the book is about deconstructing modern myths of how economies used to work and how they evolved over time.

Yeah, it seems to weight slight cold as a massive negative. There’s no chance for me that Detroit and Denver should be similar in weather scores, or that Seattle scores significantly higher than either unless you’re really excited about no sun and lots of drizzle.

I say that in support of your point - fully acknowledge that for some folks, one cold week would score far worse than even the extreme heat in the Middle East.

Why do people make the default assumption that "free speech" only refers to a specific American legal principle? Free speech existed long before the Constitution and yet whenever someone says, "My right to free speech is being violated," unless the culprit is directly the US government, someone always responds, "Actually, that's not literally illegal, so it's fine."

No, Cloudflare is not acting inappropriately at all.

This is standard industry practice, not just in the U.S., but also in Europe and the UK.

Hosting providers, telcos, social media platforms, and other similar entities generally comply with court orders or subpoenas directed at their customers.

It’s uncommon for these companies to challenge such orders unless there’s a very compelling legal reason to do so - i.e. some crazy demand.

You're blog post basically confirms the questions in a recent FT article about dating apps:

> Dating apps already face allegations from users that they hide the best potential mates to keep people swiping — theories that have led to entire forums online devoted to “gaming” the apps. While these accusations are denied by dating companies, they are grounded in “the very real lack of transparency” about how matching algorithms work, says Sharabi of Arizona State University.

I've tried using Claude for the first time to help me write some wifi code for an ESP32. It gets like 90% of the way there and I can't get the last 10% to where it works how I need it. Every time I mention an issue with the code, it rewrites it and a new issue pops up. Then I me tiin that and it rewrites it with the original issue again. It's like it forgets the past mistakes it's made.

Also there's been multiple times where it just forgets a closing parenthesis in a function or tells me a function definition doesn't exist in the code even though it's literally right there.

Browsers eventually stop supporting old OS'es, so the "outdated browser problem" is not exactly decoupled from the OS situation.

A common mistake when implementing a CHIP-8 emulator is to allow the nominally 12-bit "I" register to overflow, leading to out-of-bounds memory accesses.

Does it matter? Either it's safe to have obstacles within 300m of the end of the runway, and this was a reasonable location for the Korean airport to put their localizer in, or it's not, and the likes of Burbank should shorten their runway to ensure there's sufficient buffer space at the end of it.
"According to Jacobson, California electricity prices are high because of several reasons that have nothing to do with renewables. These include high fossil gas prices, utilities passing on to customers the cost of wildfires due to transmission-line sparks, the cost of undergrounding transmission lines to reduce such fires, the costs of the San Bruno and Aliso Canyon gas disasters, the cost of retrofitting gas pipes following San Bruno, the cost of upgrading aging transmission and distribution lines, and the cost of keeping the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant open."

> But the current structure of defense funding makes this nearly impossible. VC-backed defense startups aren't the answer either. They're making the same mistakes - small compute, off-the-shelf models, requiring relocation from experienced 40+ year old scientists who won't move. They're essentially just spending the money the government can't, without solving the fundamental issues.

Have you tried to express your perplexities to one of the DARPA PMs?

Theoretically, a significant part of their work should precisely consist of receiving feedback on the mistakes made in order to iterate more quickly toward effective solutions.
150 knots is like 77 meters a second, a 747 can do like 2m/s^2 braking giving 35 seconds to stop, 1500 meters required.

Stopping time: t=v/a, t=77/2.
Stopping distance: d=v^2/2a, d=77^2/2*2
That's under normal operation. All planes are certified to stop without any air reverse thrust[0] given they land at the right sized runway, right conditions, right position, etc etc.

But it's definitely part of the program.

They must also sit on the tarmac post heavy braking and the brakes must not burst into flames.

160 knots?

Google tells me: "Modern jets land between 120–150 kt. This depends on weight, weather conditions and several other factors."

So even after scratching asphalt for 2/3 of the runway it was still faster than the normal landing speed.

My uneducated gut feeling says pilot was trying to abort the landing.
Few more fun facts:

Elementary school students all write kakizome at the end of December. Within the school, each grade will write the exact same thing. They're hung in the halls for all to see. Hundreds of the exact same kakizome.

Many people burn their kakizome mid-January during "Dondoyaki."

The posture, attention and care taken while writing Kakizome is one of the important points. Those, and the outcome of the characters themselves, are all taken into account.

> you would expect doctors to do this as a matter of course, but in my experience they do not.

My experiences match this as well. After my diagnosis from a dubious battery of psychometrics and interviews from a psychologist, I was expecting the actual psychiatric care to be, I don't know, more scientific?

However, I was met with just simple brute-forcing medications and dosages. No measurements of any kind were ever taken. I'd just get asked questions like, "How do you like <medication>?" or "How is <medication> working for you?" Depending on my answers, dosages were either adjusted or some other medication was thrown at the wall to see what would stick.

Asking questions like, "How do I know if <medication/dosage> is truly working as intended" or "What should I expect to change in my life from taking <medication/dosage>?" were questions that I was never received a satisfactory answer.

I quit going to psychs a fews year back and only go to my GP now. Honestly, the care has been substantially better and somewhat more holistic too. I can actually see what good/bad effects medication(s) have on my body (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.), which various psychs, never measured a single time in almost a decade of care.
One thing I don't like about flexbox is that align-items and justify-content switch what they do depending on the flex-direction.
