I mean I’m of the weird belief that moving an item from point A to point B fundamentally uses, more or less, amount of energy x regardless of whether it’s 1950 or 2000 or 2050, but if you want to make the laws of Physics obey exponential growth to make sure we all remain economically prosperous then good luck to you.

Maybe not in this universe, but good luck to you nevertheless.

And yeah that was a typo. I guess that’s what happens when you use but a few watts on a mobile phone instead of an AI on the latest RTX to burn the equivalent half a log for every letter. I guess I’m not respecting the needs of the economy too much by doing that, eh?
Some formats, but you can always play sealed which removes the ability to bring in outside cards at all. You either get your own pool of cards or draft from a shared pool so it's more down to your skill in building a deck (or luck pulling the right card from a pack you opened or it getting passed to you because the player before you didn't need it and wasn't drafting for value).

There's cheaper strategies in most formats though that you can still get wins with, Red Aggro decks are usually pretty cheap to build and have a decent win rate. You'll rarely place highly in tournaments with it but that's true for most people and most decks.

Follow up to my earlier comment; The docs say creating a reference to uninitialized memory is undefined behavior, but I couldn't think of any cases where it would go wrong if the data is never actually accessed. It turns out that's because there currently aren't any. See comment [1] and the threads linked there.

Rust calls references to uninitialized memory undefined behavior because it wants to reserve the right to implement some kinds of optimizations using that fact in the future, however currently no optimizations do, and in fact the standard library depends on the compiler being well behaved here.

It's possible at some point in the future some optimization will be added which would cause problems for references to uninitialized memory, but it seems more likely that the requirements on references will eventually be relaxed instead.

> the cochlea mechanically amplifies the incoming vibrations

Is that even possible in principle? Amplifying requires adding energy, it has to be either provided from somewhere else or redistributed from other parts of the input.

EDIT:

Aha, but apparently this system is not a passive amplifier at all! Per Wikipedia[0], this is an active, electromechanical amplifier, which makes the explanation you quoted more reasonable (if not accurate).

The story is 5 days without a single shooting and a 25.6% reduction in shootings for the month compared to last year. The streak breaking was inevitable and less important.

In relative population terms it's like saying there wasn't a single shooting in Louisiana and Mississippi for 5 days. Those two states have a combined population slightly smaller than NYC but have the highest rates of gun violence in the country.

Completely agree. I'm interested in the detour, perhaps as much fascinated in the human psychology that prompt people to invest in these debates as anything about the question itself. We have psychology of science and political psychology and so it seems like a version of that that attempts to be predictive of how philosophers come to their dispositions is a worthy venture as well.

In general crime is down across the board big time. Violent crime especially. If you go back 20 years it's pretty crazy how much crime is down. It's even more startling if you go back further.

Americans believe in a lot of weird stuff that isn't backed by real world evidence. Newt Gingrich said it years ago, facts don't matter if people can be made to believe something. It's all relative and Americans have grown up with ridiculous privilege, which makes most people think immigrants are eating dogs or they go buy TP in bulk cuz of reasons.

People are horrible at understanding statistics. An American is more likely to die falling down a set of stairs than they are from a foodborn illness, for example. Or the average gun owner is more likely to take their own life with their gun than they ever are to use it against a criminal. Heck, that gun is more likely to be stolen and used in a murder somewhere else than a person is to use it in self defense. But most Americans believe they absolutely need a gun because of how dangerous the country is. Meanwhile, they're more likely to choke on a pen or get killed by a dog than to ever use that gun.
> A 1% reduction in body mass is a huge advantage evolutionary

That thought fails to explain the wide natural variation in body mass of humans, and within each species on this planet.

Edit: for most species being smaller is a disadvantage. Mates statistically select for larger stronger individuals, and larger stronger individuals are statistically better at killing and defending.
He can still advise against waiting the resources though, because even the free spike wasn’t worth it for him.
Have you ever read the books? The main characters are middle class or poor.
That said, especially for introverts, a dog can be a magical thing. Proper care requires daily walks and dogs are, by nature, gregarious. Some breeds will attract other people without effort (I had a beagle and had I known how appealing they were to other people, I would have gotten one when I was a lonely single man). Walking a dog daily means you get daily exercise and daily socialization.

> it would be fairly easy to catch people stealing

It's very dangerous for store employees to "catch" someone stealing.

https://wjla.com/news/local/this-will-get-you-killed-suspect...

Numerous such incidents across the country.

https://www.google.com/search?q=cvs+employee+assaulted+theft

So the guidance from management is to prioritize employee safety over some goods being stolen and not confront shoplifters.

The real issue is that prosecutors and police have been letting those who do get caught with no or minimal punishment in the past few years. And local laws have been reducing penalties for stealing after mid-2020.

So naturally shoplifters and thieves have gotten more brazen.
Show HN: Ros2_utils_tool, a powerful GUI toolset for ROS2-based utilities
Hi Hackernews,

over the past few weeks, I've been tirelessly working on a GUI toolset for all sorts of ROS2-based utilites to simplify my tasks with ROS at work. Now I want to present to you the ros2_utils_tool.

This tool can do many ROS2-based utilites, for example editing a ROS bag file to remove, rename or crop topics, extracting a video or image sequence out of a ROS bag, creating dummy bag files or just publishing a video as a ROS topic.

While being developed to be as simple and lightweight as possible, the toolset supports many advanced options, for example different video and image formats, custom fps values, switching colorspaces and more. I've also heavily optimized the tool to support multithreading or in some cases even hardware-acceleration to run as fast as possible.

The tool offers full graphical user interface support for all features, while I've also added additional command line interface support for most of them.

As of now, the ros2_utils_tool supports ROS2 humble and jazzy.

The application is still in an alpha phase, which means I want to add many more features in the future, for example GUI-based ROS bag merging or republishing of topics under different names, or some more advanced options such as selecting messages for video or image generation.

The ros2_utils_tool requires an installed ROS2 distribution, as well as Qt6 or Qt5 for the user interface, the cv_bridge for transforming images to ROS and vice versa, and finally catch2_ROS for unit testing.

You can install all dependencies (except for the ROS2 distribution itself) with the following command:

sudo apt install libopencv-dev ros-humble-cv-bridge qt6-base-dev ros-humble-catch-ros2

For ROS2 Jazzy:

sudo apt install libopencv-dev ros-jazzy-cv-bridge qt6-base-dev ros-jazzy-catch-

Install the UI with the following steps:

cd path/to/your/workspace/src
git clone https://gitlab.com/nct_tso_public/mediassist4/ros2_utils_tool.git
cd path/to/your/workspace/
colcon build

Then run it with the following commands:

source install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros2_utils_tool tool_ui

The ros2_utils_tool uses the EUPLv1.2 as license. More information, for example regarding the command line interface tools are shown under [0].

I get that the US Dollar is a more stable currency than many, if not all, others. I don't understand why, if you're getting into cryptocurrency to avoid inflation, you would chose one based on any fiat currency. Invest in one that is tried and tested and has a limited supply that is actually inflation proof: Bitcoin.

A little study of biology will clear that up. Species inhabit different niches. They have different survival strategies. Each case requires a different optimal point.
There is only evolutionary pressure on things that affect mortality. Vestigial organs can and do exist because there is no evolutionary pressure on them, because they don’t affect mortality.
Man, does THAT sum up the current political climate in America.

There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."[97]

We allow people to self-identify their religious beliefs. The government doesn't declare you to be a Catholic or a Buddhist and force your driver's license to say such.

Unless you're proposing making the military- and the rest of society- radically gender neutral, than as soon as a person interacts with a driver's license, passport, social media account, or bathroom, they will have to adopt a gender identity . Why should a third party's "gender beliefs" about a person be elevated above their own?

Please elaborate, I think you misunderstood me. Are you defending the claim that 1% human body mass reduction is an evolutionary advantage? Your quip about biology should maybe be directed at @roenxi?

I was talking about variation within each species, not across different species. (Edited to clarify) I was talking, in context as a reply to the claim that losing a given vestigial organ would improve (lessen) mortality. Humans, for example, have wide natural variation in body mass, therefore the evidence contradicts the claim that “1% reduction in body mass is a huge advantage evolutionary”.

If a reduction in body mass was an evolutionary advantage, we’d be evolving to be smaller over time. That’s not happening. Why?

In fact, there is an evolutionary advantage in humans to being taller and having more muscle, since these traits are selected for by mates, and are beneficial for hunting.
Convert your data notebook to CDP instantly
Hey HN!

We've been working on Airbook, a tool that helps teams turn their data notebooks into fully functional CDPs—instantly.

Most companies either struggle with fragmented customer data or spend months engineering a homegrown solution.

We thought: what if you could just use the data notebooks you already have?

With Airbook, you can:

Connect to your existing data stack (dbt, BigQuery, Snowflake, Salesforce etc.)
Define customer identities, audiences and segments dynamically
Sync insights to downstream tools to trigger growth campaigns—without custom pipelines

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Yeah, and put ansible-pull in the mix and call it a day :)

I think the main advantage these kind of tools bring is the user-friendlyness for both the developer and customer, in terms of UIs, security, and auditing.

App deployments, new releases, and all they entail are never in reality a commit/button push away. There's a bunch of stuff that needs to happen before, during, and after, with each app and deployment target having its own unique set of peculiarities.

That's the main problem these tools need to solve, but that's where the money is, I guess.
