Join us in building Ameba, an AI platform that turns supply chain noise into knowledge.

If you’ve never considered working in supply chains before, everything around you, including the device you're reading this on, has a story of how it got there. From raw materials to the final product in your hands, that story is its supply chain. If you’re excited by this hidden complexity that powers the global economy and influences so much of your day-to-day life, we’d love to talk.

We're a seed startup made up of experienced entrepreneurs (who have previously raised $160m+) and builders (formerly at Google, Microsoft, Snap, Apple, Meta & Palantir). We have big ambitions and are backed by the best investors in Europe, having raised over $9m since our launch just over a year ago.

I don't understand, isn't one of the main points of the article that even older iPhones (like the four year old iPhone 12) are still vastly more powerful than what most Android users have? There are numbers and graphs that show that web pages load significantly faster for iPhone users than for Android users.
I used to use that trick with some arcade game that was popular in bars in 00s Spain. People were just impressed!
Semi related but one thing that I've always found fascinating was the peace lines[1] in Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland. You often hear about religious conflicts in the history books but it's wild to see remnants of that in the modern world.

I live in the US and for us the concept of two Christian factions being in conflict is just so foreign. You drive around just about anywhere in the US and you will come across Protestant churches right next to Catholic ones.

This helped, thanks.
I see this line of reasoning about formal methods a lot: software is big and complicated and hard to get right... therefore formal methods.

On the one hand, I _want_ this to be true both for selfish and practical reasons: selfishly because I'm very very good at learning things that require an academic learning approach (read a book, work some exercises, practice) and if something I'm good at is important, that means more money for me. Practically because they're right, software _is_ big and complicated and hard to get right and as a practitioner, it's really frustrating when it does fail and I'm scrambling to figure out why.

On the other hand, though, nobody ever seems to make a compelling case for how formal methods proposes to solve that problem. This author actually does better than most by pointing out how most modern "design" is a waste of time but doesn't really go into why TLA, say, is better than (demonstrably mostly useless) UML. There's sort of an implied suggestion that if you dedicate a few months (or years?) to learning TLA, you'll reach enlightenment and understand how it's helpful in a way that's impossible to articulate to the unenlightened. And that's not impossible to imagine! Calculus and Bayesian statistics are kind of like that; you need to really understand them before you can really see why they're useful.

I always find myself left applying what I call "project manager" logic - I need to make a snap decision right now about whether or not I should invest time in this "formal method" stuff or not so I have to be observational: if it was really that helpful, more people would be applying it and the benefits would speak for themselves. They've been around a long, long time, though, and never caught on - it's hard not to conclude that there's probably a reason.
Excellent idea, I find it really useful.

I think thats the best part of this skill. Everyone did 'Magic Eye' images as a kid, but to be able to take that useless skill and apply it to something more useful and interesting is really cool.
I know this is a privacy nightmare but also kinda... cool? Or at least interesting. I don't think I would have thought of this.

1. Measure element dimensions and detect installed fonts (measure a piece of text with specific a specific font to see if its installed)

2. CSS functions (e.g calc) that produce different results across browsers/systems

3. Detecting browser-specific CSS property differences (e.g render a file input, measure it)

seems like you have to allow `@container` checks or something similar for this to work in order to then make your network request `#something { background-image: url('/x-browser-y-os-detected'); }`

Rails 8 made me love Rails again after a few years working with other tools. The new direction is just perfect, specially for solo developers. The 'solid trifecta' in combination with the simplicity of using sqlite3, the new built in auth solution, Kamal... everything, so f*ing good.
I'm sorry about your friend! Really, it's friends, I think... It's not fair to them, but its exceptionally unfair to you too.

It'd admirable that you're trying to help, that's the kinda person that I want to be when I, eventually, grow up.

I do wanna suggest that in the middle of taking care of your friends, you don't forget to take care af yourself. I give this advice knowing I'd never follow it, so maybe I should say try to ignore yourself as little as possible.

The OP you replied to is right, and if you read it again, you'll notice his actual recommendation wasn't any kind of moonshot. If you still don't see it, remember that in addition to the person diagnosed with cancer, the stages of grief hit their friends and family too.

I'm sorry for how messed up the whole thing is dude, and hope you'll be ok.
It's more of a, it generally wasn't illegal at the time they did those things, and of course now they want it to be illegal. It's much like pulling the rope up behind them so nobody else can climb the same ladder they did.

There is a reason you have to have licenses to braid hair, cut nails, etc(and charge for it) in many US states for instance. It's not a simple license like a food worker has to do. It's much more involved.

I mean if someone is going to mess with my hair, do a manicure or pedicure they should know the basic hygiene things much like a food worker has to do. I'm good with that. Why do they need more than that? It's not because we as a society actually care that much about a person that can't braid hair trying to charge for it. It's because all those beauticians want to limit their competition.

OK rant over for the day.
Very cool. Even the impossible mode one was relatively easy!

Debt is a common trope in Korean shows and establishes the characters are destitute and answers why they would become contestants in this show. Then the show creator has the set up that allows them to start poking at class hierarchy.

In asking for a critique of debt in general, you are asking for a different show.

Squid Games is gets a lot of attention from the games and mass deaths of the contestants, but ultimately it is a Korean show using a different "language of film" than international audiences might be used to. Think of how silly a lot of hollywood tropes are if you stand back and look.

Try "My Mister" if you want a different take on a destitute character.
Hi so I'm developing a Go tool as a CS undergraduate sophomore. What are these tests and why are they important? Roughly speaking, the tool I'm creating downloads large files (~20GB) and manages it, how would I go about writing tests for that? And how would your tool help me?
Thanks
I believe knowing a proof exists will bring us closer to elegant human proofs.

I wanted to justify this with the “Roger Bannister Effect”. The thought is that we’re held back psychologically by the idea of the impossible. It takes one person to do it. And now everyone can do it, freed from the mind trap. But further reading shows we were incrementally approaching what Roger Bannister did first: the 4 minute mile. And the pause before that record was likely not psychological but physical with World War Two. [0] And this jives with the TFA when Mr. Wolfram writes about a quarter of a century not yielding a human interpretation of his computer’s output.

All I’m left with is my anecdotes. I had a math professor in college who assigned homework every class. Since it was his first time teaching, he came up with the questions live. I’d come to class red in the face after struggling with questions all night. Then the professor would sheepishly reveal some of his statements were false. That unknown sapped a lot of motivation. Dead ends felt more conclusive. Falsehood was an easy scapegoat.

ISBN's are hierarchical, what do you mean? Like Gaul, ISBNs are divided into multiple parts, where one part is for the language, another is for the publisher, and the last is for the title. The last part is a checksum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISBN#Overview
Thanks for that context, quite interesting and very much appreciated. I ought to have looked them up proper, but their name is unrecognizable in the security scene.

I am not sure I understand why UL are "well suited" to provide these services. Is it that they have a compatible business model? I do not see how 130 years of solid experience in one domain means (much of) anything for an entirely different domain. Sounds like they have a nice round 0 years of experience in security. To make a crude analogy, this is like telling CERN to go start building spaceships. I mean, CERN has a proven track record for building complex things, right?
I know few people at least who work in IT, make good local salaries, yet very concerned about the general inflation in Estonia - and started moving to other countries in the EU.

I think it's more formalisability than requiring upfront design. For example you may have an insurance claim automation system which you can't design upfront because most insurance providers have unspecified behaviour. But that doesn't mean you can refine your automation system as you get more information from interactions. You would still get the benefit that you ensure not leaving out any cases or not having any contradiction in your system
It just didn't cross my mind! You've got a point here! I'll rethink the argument parsing.

I'm assuming that ben_w is referring to the blue shift in the CMB that you will see in front of you. And pair production is the process of turning sufficiently high energy light into matter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/149087/scientists-discover-t...

But I've never given thought to the fact that for some observers the microwave background are low energy photons, and for others, they could be high enough in energy to produce electron-positron pairs. Seems like another one of those relativity related paradoxes. Only fast-moving observers (relative to the CMB) are seeing constant pair production from the CMB photons?
I think people are reading too much into the title—it's meant to be taken literally. It should also be obvious if you know anything about history; it's basically saying that we have always been a globalized civilization and our subjective definition of it is imaginary. And this is important because people really do believe in the idea that their culture is pure and free of outside influence.

It's also more about globalization than immigration, which would be obvious if you actually read it. Once again I am disappointed by the quality of the top comments on Hacker News.

What you've described is that the archived content can be mapped to multiple ISBNs. It's clear the only element of concern here is the content itself. The failure to preserve a particular binding or printer's choice of typeface is irrelevant.

It's been a while since I watched it and I'm pretty sure he wasn't in debt but I thought the reason he decided to do it was to help pay for the treatment so he didn't go in debt and to leave a nest egg behind for his family when he died.

For spot-the-difference, crossing your eyes is more effective and easier to "dial in" than uncrossing them. You're essentially making each eye look at the opposite image. If you try uncrossing, then you need to make sure the images are at the exact correct distance to cause them to overlap with that technique, because you can only uncross your eyes enough to look straight ahead.

I've heard about this before, but I've never actually managed to do it until just now.

The article seems to simply assume that only programming languages have value, then argue that since HTML has value, that it is a programming language.

EDIT: It's a very common logical confusion. Just because someone says "HTML is bad because it's not a programming language" but you think HTML is good doesn't mean that HTML is a programming language. The first person could just be wrong about there being a connection between badness and not being a programming language. It's a shame the entire article is written based on this error
Have you read Thomas Seyfried's researches. he says it is possible to strangle cancer cells with keto diet + blocking glutamine. He calls that 'press-pulse strategy'
I find that there are different techniques to seeing both.

If I stare at the image and cross my eyes until focus lock I get crossview where the image goes back into the page.

If I bring the image right up to my eyes and stare through it into the distance, then slowly move the image backwards into my gaze until I get focus lock, then I get parallel view where the image pops out of the page.

I have always wondered the difference between the two and why it happens. Thanks for shedding some light on it :)

EDIT: I have just managed to achieve both without moving my head or the image for the first time in my life! Just by trying to look further 'past' the picture into the distance, and then by slightly crossing my eyes and focussing at a point in front of the picture.

I have been trying to do this for 30 years, and it is only your explanation which helped me to do it. Thanks so much!
I do wonder whether a human could come up with a working solution for this problem without querying physical reality, i.e. experimentation. Parts of reality are uncomputable, so they can only be arrived at by letting the universe simulate it.

Doesn't work for me. Just like stereograms. I just don't know how to "tell" my eyes to cross. Maybe similar to how I didn't figure out until I was 20-something how finger snipping works. Maybe by the time I'm 50 I can cross my eyes...!
It’s a common enough technique that this surely isn’t the only example, but there was discussion here a while back about TeamViewer doing this to detect the presence and version of the client software when clicking a link to open a remote session:

In their case, the (shell of a) font file goes a little further and encodes the version of the teamviewer client that installed it

> You have no control over all the DLLs loaded in your process. If a user DLL loads that can't handle UTF-8 narrow APIs, you're just praying it won't break.

I want to emphasize this point. From what I've heard, on Windows it's very common for DLLs from who knows where to end up loaded in your process. Not only the things you'd also find on other operating systems like the user-space component of graphics APIs like OpenGL and Vulkan, but also things like printer drivers, shell extensions, "anti-malware" stuff, and I've even heard of things like RGB LED control software injecting their DLLs into every single process. It's gotten so bad that browsers like Firefox and Chrome use fairly elaborate mechanisms to try to prevent arbitrary DLLs from being injected into their sandbox processes, since they used to be a common source of crashes.
Checking in!

I’m frequently baffled by how unaware most people seem to be about the absolute basics of how their eyes work. Like, people don’t even seem to be aware of how their stereo perception is largely made from two images, or any of the implications that has. I actively think about the two images maybe dozens of times per day.
Nice comment explaining the difference between two viewpoints.

The former one is set theoretic i.e. set of objects (eg. terms) and operations (eg. and/or/not) defined on those objects. The latter is an algebraic specification where a number of properties (expressed by logical formulas which can be axioms or theorems) are expected to be satisfied by the operations.

The state of the art in cancer treatment currently is personalized immunotherapies spearheaded by companies like BioNTech, etc.

Cancer should be viewed from a system wide perspective in my opinion rather than a location specific disease.

If you really want to get into biohacker territory, figure out how to sequence the tumor’s mutanome distribution and then generate a mRNA vaccine encoding the unique antigen markers of the tumor.

That’s basically what these biotech companies are doing[0]. If you need pointers on where to begin your research, BNT122 is a good place to start.

Good luck. Depending on how much money your friend has, you might be able to make something happen. Consider contacting biotech companies directly.

If you've done Magic Eyes, this is straightforward. Was able to get all 3 of the test images quickly.

This is with focusing beyond the screen. Focusing in front of the screen is something I am unable to do, and not for want of effort.

Also, your eyes might accidentally do this if looking at tiled patterns, e.g. wallpaper.

Relative image size (e.g. view distance) is important.
