Pentax cameras are much better at the ui and do not have any of this shit. They are also bulletproof and nearly indestructible, favoured by war photographers, and tend to have excellent spec sheets (if a bit of a a slow autofocus).

The company went bankrupt and bought by Ricoh, which I sincerely hope will keep the brand alive. Capitalism does really seem to prefer the nickel and dime approach...
Biden won't enforce TikTok ban, official says, leaving fate of app to Trump
Most of what schools teach has no value in the labor market. Children spend years studying subjects of literally zero relevance to their adult lives.

Besides, most of what students "learn" they forget within weeks or months. Adults are, as a rule, amazingly ignorant of subjects they studied over the >10 years of K-12. What fraction remembers how to perform basic calculus? Hell, what fraction can calculate the volume of a sphere? The answer is well under 1%!

Whatever school is for, it's not for "education." It is (1) a daycare/prison hybrid that's designed to keep children out of the way, and (2) a mechanism that students can use to signal conscientiousness, socialization, and average or above-average IQ, as other mechanisms are highly disfavored.

So if somebody, somewhere, is depreciating school's signaling value, that's okay. It literally doesn't matter one iota.
I certainly regret it. As a car it sucks too. Total waste of money imo.
Common sense would dictat that you have sunset your business by this time.
100%. And can be wonderfully done by efficient heatpumps that cover the warmer months too. Also nice correlation between hot and sunny areas which means solar can get you to net zero pretty quick. (Says man looking at his solar panels right now covered with snow.)
You guys in Germany have those crazy automated metal shutters on some homes. They would have been a good thing in LA I think (I'm not in LA) or in any fire zone, maybe? I've read many homes burned because windows shattered from heat which then allowed the embers and fire to ignite furniture.
As they say in the US "we the people have decreed freedom ain't free" had a headache reading this lmao

If you can get a hot meal for 5 dollars idk as a poor person gotta rep the app even if its badly implemented
It is, but most software doesn't include security.
Genimage – Tool to generate multiple filesystem and flash images from a tree
Genimage is a tool to generate multiple filesystem and flash/disk images from a given root filesystem tree. genimage is intended to be run in a fakeroot environment. It also supports creating flash/disk images out of different file-system images and files.

Configuration is done in a config file parsed by libconfuse. Options like the path to tools can be given via environment variables, the config file or from commandline switches.
In hindsight yes. The trick is knowing which of the thousands of things to do are necessary. And yes, that’s how you end up with preflight checklists
“Get on a call” is code for “we have commissioned sales people and in order to make that work we can’t let inbound leads from our website bypass them”
Technically the ones they got in hot water for were from EU to get around the Chicken Tax.
If by hype you mean that there isn't extreme real world value right here and right now, then I very much disagree.

Closing in on 20 years since I left school and for me AI is absolutely useful, right here and right now. It is really a bicycle for the mind:

It allows me to get much faster to where I want. (And like bicycles you will get a few crashes early on and possibly later as well, depending on how fast you move and how careful you are.)

I might be in some sweet spot where I am both old enough to know what is going on without using an AI but also young enough to pick up the use of AI relatively effortlessly.

If however by hype you mean that people still have overhyped expactations about the near future, then yes, I agree more and more.
Not to be off topic but Apple needs to build a fully featured full frame digital camera with an iPhone slot. That would be game over for so many users.
> Best use an open audio codec instead.

You will still need a separate license (or multiple separate licenses) for commercial purposes.

Music licensing is unbelievably complicated
Ask HN: Request to add an [AI] tag to posts?
This is such a great website, but it's becoming less interesting by the minute.

Can we have a title detection system, similar to the existing automatic "[YEAR]" and "How to" → "" rules, which just marks a post as AI related?

I know this might be a far harder task than I think, since AI is now the defacto topic.

Or, can anyone suggest a Firefox addon that filters out post based on a blocklist of words?
Can't the client sue for damage though? Especially in a courtroom-happy country like the US, perhaps causing financial trouble to a corporation the size of McDonald's would not exactly lead to a happy, carefree livelihood
That is about a data leak. How do you know if the data wasn't collected with(out) consent?

If VW collected this data without consent, the data protection authorities or the EC are going to have a field day.

(By the way, the GDPR also has ramifications for data leaks of legally collected data. E.g. there is a requirement to report this to the authorities within 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-33-gdpr/ )
I think if it's working as intended and as designed then it's hard to call it a loophole. Loophole would be when dying your spirit purple would change the taxation, because someone codified the color of alcohol instead of it's content.

But of course as you say it's largely semantics.
This is assuming that the developers who did that knew that it was bad and still chose to do it.

What if they didn't know and it's just incompetence?
The most interesting jobs I've seen are where people bring two specializations together, into a single role.

Take the strategy, user research and frameworks you do to drive better CX, and apply that to something you have a deep interest in away from the usual mainstream. It could be a hobby, it could be the cyber stuff you're interested in.

On that, you're more likely to enjoy getting into cybersecurity by joining a company doing that today as a CX expert and getting more technical over time and looking for a horizontal move, than you are from starting from scratch and working on an IT help desk and trying to work your way up.

I'd also suggest starting a blog or producing open source content in the field you want to move into. I'm starting to do this, because it can highlight my knowledge/skills while my CV is in a completely different field, in order to gently build traction and attention in my "target" industry.

One last thought: don't underestimate that you're stressed, burned out and just need a decent period of slow work to recover. I think most people looking for major changes in their career are just tired and fed up. I know I am. They say a change is as good as a rest, but a rest is as good as a rest as well.
Indeed, we should be glad they don‘t charge us for each picture we take …
> a $50 USB capture card and a $20 HDMI cable

Are there any USB-connectable capture devices that can process 4K?

Everything I see tries really hard to hide the fact that while they can input 4K, they can only produce 1920x1080.
In production? I don't disagree that tests 'in production' are sometimes necessary (canary tests), but most of the quirks are often fixed by then.

Honestly I thought they would be live testing fuel exchange in orbit by now. Seems pretty far from it sadly.
I think the counting errors were "we expected these sinks to fill up slower. They are already full, and not contribute instead of being a sink".
That doesn't seem to stop people from drinking IPAs.
>When asked what a chunk of code did, the team member matter-of-factly replied "I don't know, chatgpt wrote that"

That'd be an immediate -2 from me.
What tha hell
Very cool. I wish these guys would have a podcast discussing high profile papers, how influential they are, what sorts of projects have been built on top of them and then be like "uh oh, it looks like our system detecting something strange about the results".

I wish wish wish there was something similar also for computer science. If I got paid for how many papers that looked interested but could not be replicated, I would be rich.

If cutting edge engineering with conventional physics looks fake to you folks imagine what a hard time you’re going to have with real videos of actual UFOs.
Terrorism is simpoly what the government/establishment calls any politically motivated public action that includes crime or violence when anyone other than them does it.

4chan/anon was screwing with websites -> terrorism

Neo-nazis finding unsecured online printers at colleges and printing their propaganda -> terrorism

Shoot a public figure because you think they've done a tone of wrong -> terrorism.

Go on a bulldozer rampage against people who have wronged you -> terrorism
Its terrible, the Zionist simply didn't think there was an alternative after the Holocaust. One atrocities vs potential hundreds more over the millennia? It forecloses the possibility of a different kind of future, but its the only one that makes sense the way things are now. Its fear, all of it is fear for what might happen.
If you bought a legit licensed product the doctrine of first sale means their patent rights are exhausted.[0] They can't come after you for patent infringement. Those licenses are for manufacturers making new licensed products, not users of licensed products they purchased.

Can you show a single court case or even a press release where someone using a legit licensed product bought on the open market was sued for codec patent infringement?

When Trump set a tariff on German optics because he was mad at Germany, Leica had a workaround as well.

Most of their equipment is made in Portugal and finished in Germany, with whatever WTO agreed % of value added that allows them to stamp "Made In Germany" on the goods.

So for US markets they issues a series of lenses that were more fully finished in the Portuguese factory such that they could be stamped "Made In Portugal".
How does this make sense?

Any change the untrusted local staff could make to the server, they could also make to the KVM machine (e.g. turn it into a keylogger).

Now you have the same problem but with a smaller computer.

You cannot turn untrusted systems into trusted systems by adding more untrusted systems.
Lol. My public school sent 10% of its senior class to ivy league schools last year. I'll take it. Not all of them are inner city hell holes.
Technical operations you don't want to forget must not be automated. That said, after a while, the brain is in automatic mode, and you don't even give attention to them and kind of 'forget them'.
If the P75 is bad because of Australia that means 25% of their customer base is Australian.
Note welfare is fine if those receiving it aren't in America. Trump is already proposing to spend tax dollars on a real estate deal no one is interested in instead of supporting his constituents. He still has no idea what he's doing. Undermining school since the 80s is really paying off for the country!
What do you mean by "an iPhone slot"?

As in, so you can plug the camera into an iPhone and transfer photos from camera to phone?
Yes. The differences between 5.0 and 5.1 are small and I do not recommend using newer versions, regardless.
NetBSD MICROVM kernel configuration is now available
The Apollo program was inventing all of this technology, and using only extremely rudimentary computers, still doing many calculations with slide rulers.

SpaceX has all of the Apollo program's work to build on, and computers that could do all the computing work that the Apollo program ever made, in total, in probably a few minutes.
OP bought a camera not sold as a webcam and is trying to use it as a webcam. Fair enough, I've done the same.

A standard way of doing that is to use a video cable to get video output and plug that into a capture card on your computer. OP doesn't want to do that and would prefer that the manufacturer included webcam functionality out of the box.

Also fair enough! But if that's the requirement, buy a camera that meets that requirement, and understand that it's not a standard feature in these cameras.

I get subscription fatigue, but this is not a good hill to die on. It's getting outraged over expecting a camera to do what it wasn't designed to do, when there are already simple and standard ways of making it do that.
But what alternative can you suggest which doesn’t break grammar or usage precedents like “physically based”?

Physics-based? Reality-based? Physically-derived?
Also why does it have to be a subscription in the first place. If it is a non standard use that requires extra software you don't and you want to separate those costs from users that don't need it, then make it a one time payment at least.

Subscriptions make sense when you have ongoing costs like significant load on servers that are needed for the service provided. But not for some piece of software you write once and are more or less done with (minus some small patches)
Not that pure spirit is something you drink for the wonderful taste, in the first place.
It's simpler to forward an email to the relevant people and agree on goals, than to forward a phone call :-)
The license doesn't come attached to the device itself, but you as a entity (e.g. movie studio, broadcaster, or solo professional). Transferring the device doesn't transfer the license.

You license the right to use the patent pool for commercial purposes, not the device itself.
I'm always baffled at the fact that Americans don't build houses out of bricks.

I read those arguments of the advantages this method has, especially financial ones, but to me it's nonsense considering that it would prevent an endless number of problems that cause the total loss.

I still remember when New Orleans was hit with by Katrina, large parts of the suburbs where houses where made by wood and plastic where destroyed, yet downtown where buildings where made of bricks required maintenance, sometimes little of it, but none faced a total loss.
I have a family member of retirement age who got into the habit of anonymously expressing their love of the EU in the comments section of a local newspaper.

After a few months of this they received a phone call on their landline warning them that such public expressions are inappropriate and that there could be consequences should they not find a new hobby.

I too love the EU but I loved it much more 15 years ago.
Kids had school 800 years ago? If he didn't work in the fields musta been rich

insert David Lynch quote about red ants
I'm sure it's been said at many points by many people, fictional or real. It's not a particularly unique insight (especially amongst historians and archeologists), though one I think that bears repeating often as it's easy to lose sight of it.
There was a custom ROM for canon available quite a few years ago... Now all I can find is https://www.magiclantern.fm/ but I believe the previous one was called CHDK or something like that
Fair! But 0.000001% of the market is hardly a point.
Usually big established companies that've been unfairly beaten down and financials don't have any red flags. I look at social chat/analyst chat also but mostly only to see if/how many people/bots are talking not really to see what they are saying.

For example, I hold oversized bags of Boeing, Pfizer, and Google right now (these are new-ish positions ~3-4m in)

If I'm wrong, I try to get out asap. If I'm right, I try to never sell.
When I tried Copilot the "better tab complete" felt quite annoying, in that the constantly changing suggested completion kept dragging my focus away from what I was writing. That clearly doesn't happen for you. Was that something you got used to over time, or did that just not happen for you? There were elements of it I found useful, but I just couldn't get over the flickering of my attention from what I was doing to the suggested completions.

Edit: I also really want something that takes the existing codebase in the form of a VSCode project / GitHub repo and uses that as a basis for suggestions. Does Copilot do that now?
You ought to see the magic they do when coding medical procedures for billing in the US. It makes these tax shenanigans look simple.
Hard to say. I'm sure that in some 100 page report somewhere under the list of concerns is the risk of information leaks and potential damage. Then someone decided that the company just spend $50M on "cyber" and in their summation change the text to "potential risk of data lose is offset by investments in cyber security", then they push the new 40 page up the stack. The security risk is now perceived as low, so it's removed from the executive summary and a 3 page memo on the revenue and share price benefits is created.

I don't think was ever ill intent, but when it inevitably goes wrong, then yes, everyone will be thrown under the bus if it protects the stock price.
> They still sell you SD cards instead of including an SSD which would be MUCH cheaper and faster.

I don't think the power draw of an SSD plays well with the current battery tech.

Plus most user value the fact that you can rapidly swap those thing. The last thing you want to do during a wedding is having to wait for the data to transfer and/or the battery to recharge.
> or you can include them in the broad pool, and the people with a full-cinderblock home in a non-flammable state pay $20 more a year so the entire endeavour can work

And you immediately start loosing customers to insurers that either did the former or left LA alltogether. This changes $20 surcharge into $25 surcharge, causing more customers to leave, causing surcharge to increase and so on.
This is exactly what I do. I'm also confused by this article...
Chinese cooking wines avoid alcohol taxes by adding salt. The salt is useful as a seasoning for food but makes the wine undrinkable!
From the article:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.

Congress last year, in a law signed by Biden, required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19, a day before the presidential inauguration. The official said the outgoing administration was leaving the implementation of the law — and the potential enforcement of the ban — to Trump."

After all of the drama, hand wringing and endless unverified claims that TikTok is a national security risk, I can't believe this is how they are going to end this. It's utterly mind-blowing.
M5Stack LLM630 kit can run Llama3.2-1B
One of the key components of terrorism is random or at least very loose targeting and some degree of disregard for collateral damage.

The United Healthcare murder was basically a reverse Eric garner. Instead of the government killing someone over something petty to keep the peasants in line a crazy peasant killed a member of the ruling class to send the same message in the other direction.

Politically both of these are more like a good ol' fashioned lynching than terrorism though obviously the line between the two becomes a bit blurry. Most targeted political violence is not terrorism (though of course the statues are so broad that if you crop dust an elevator in a government building you're probably open to prosecution).
Copilot is also very slow. I'm surprised people use it to be honest. Just use Cursor.
Got it only in German here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Hack_Development_Kit and on fandom.wiki there's a page ... But I used it like hundreds of years ago so not sure if it still works...
What can be done about this as a consumer looking to buy a new car?

- Can I turn off data collection?
- Can I corrupt data transmission and collection?
- Can I charge per kb for any data collected?
- Is the dealer obligated to disclose data collection?

I'll be in the market for a new car in the next few years but I do not want to buy anything that tracks or collects ANY data about me.

I was assuming that buying a cheap non-electric car would offer some protection but I'd love to know more.
In India, the pizza base has a different tax rate than the topping and so some restaurants will have two separate lines on your pizza bill - one for the base at 5% tax and another for the topping at 18% tax.

The tax on popcorn is also totally crazy. "Unpackaged and unlabelled popcorn with salt and spices is categorised as 'namkeen' and taxed at 5%. Pre-packed and labelled ready-to-eat popcorn attracts a 12% GST rate. Caramelized popcorn with added sugar is taxed at a higher rate of 18%."
iirc IE4 was actually good and then it was all down hill from there.

The Netherlands has been planning for the impacts of sea-level rise for decades now. At least twenty years ago the government broached the idea (with TV commercials) that they were going to have to abandon some are areas to the sea.
I live in one of the countries that just made it taste bad (because enough people died of poisoning it was allowed as an exception by the EU). I've drank a shot of denaturated alcohol once - half out of curiosity, half because I was already out of liquor at home for that evening.

If you close your nose the taste is just bitter, but bearable. The additives are supposed to make you vomit, but for me I only had vomit reflex for ~5 seconds after swallowing. I could live with that if I was addicted and couldn't afford a regular alcohol. I'm sure many people do.

Not sure what the moral is. I guess that addiction is a really strong motivator, and tax evasion is not a good enough reason to justify killing people with poison.
Bluesky. They use Expo on top of React Native, use React Native for Web (with a desktop and mobile), and for mobile native apps.

Let's note that because the clients are fully open-source and on GitHub, people from Expo and React Native are helping the little team behind the clients improve performance over time: it's not their final form!
Of all the games, chess is a pretty well-distributed one. Maybe not quite as cheap to set up as football, but it's pretty close. You can create a board and pieces out of two sheets of paper and a pen.
