It would seem techniques like this have been used in domains like astronomy for a while.

> The reconstruction of objects from blurry images has a wide range of applications, for instance in astronomy and biomedical imaging. Assuming that the blur is spatially invariant, image blur can be defined as a two-dimensional convolution between true image and a point spread function. Hence, the corresponding deblurring operation is formulated as an inverse problem called deconvolution. Often, not only the true image is unknown, but also the available information about the point spread function is insufficient resulting in an extremely underdetermined blind deconvolution problem. Considering multiple blurred images of the object to be reconstructed, leading to a multiframe blind deconvolution problem, reduces underdeterminedness. To further decrease the number of unknowns, we transfer the multiframe blind deconvolution problem to a compact version based upon [18] where only one point spread function has to be identified.

One of our twins is this way, her sister will accept making a choice based on options we present and so will her younger brother. Bit of a tangent but, basically everything I ever I believed I understood about the nature vs. nurture argument have broken down completely in the face of raising (fraternal) twins.
Me too. Sam Altman recently predicted that we will see a one-person unicorn company in the near future.
I'm not so sure about that. This was in comparison to e.g. walking object graphs in Python, C#, and JavaScript using the usual APIs (i.e. where querying one one-to-many relationship looks like Foo.Bars rather than joins, and using map/fold/filter or equivalents). I would expect there to be a lot more of that kinda stuff in the training set than SQL.
I have intense respect for the history of gcc, but everything about using it screams that it's stuck in the past.

LLVM has a lot of problems, but it feels significantly more modern.

I do wish we had a "new LLVM" doing to LLVM what it did to gcc. Just because it's better doesn't mean it's perfect.

Basically, you can respect history while also being honest about the current state of things. But also, doing so requires you to care primarily about things like ease of use, rather than things like licenses. For some people, they care about licenses first, usability second.
Ah, I was thinking you meant like, you were dating someone with a kitsune as a "fursona", and I was confused as to why you would mention that in this post.

Thanks for clarifying.

Just another day of crypto bros speedrunning finance.
I purchased my telescope and mount from a "local" store. It was >30 miles away in the metroplex, but it was a physical store with human employees. I went in with an idea of what I wanted to buy, but the person there asked me a whole slew of questions to ensure I was going to be happy with the purchase. They then also knew that my selected scope and selected mount would need an additional adapter plate that I would not have known about if I bought the items online. When I went to pick it up, they opened the boxes with me and helped me assemble the whole thing with a quick walk through on operating the mount. The only thing missing from this white glove service were the literal white gloves.

A year later, I wanted to buy a scope as a guide scope, and they had sadly closed. Telescopes are clearly a niche market, and even though it was a proper store the market just wasn't there to sustain the rent. There are plenty of places to go online to get similar advice, but nothing online can replace the experience of having someone right there showing something to you.

Sadly, the longer the internet exists, the less I'm liking it. It is soulless and just sucks the soul out of humanity more than it adds.
What breaches happened due to five year certs again? You are continuing to assume that the any of the CA/B'a behavior has been forward thinking or based on logic... without backing any of it up.

I've asked this question a half dozen times in this thread, so if you can't come up with a real exposure the CA/B's behavior fixes, don't bother replying.
This is a lot of words to say "I don't believe him". None of us really knows, and it's not worth speculating about, because the case is about something much bigger now. It's about the limits of executive authority, separation of powers, and rule of law.

> he did this by almost certainly committing perjury by claiming there were criminal gangs who would kill him if he returned to El Salvador

What evidence is there for this "near certainty"? Your argument here should be with asylum laws, not this individual.

For what it's worth, the situation in El Salvador at the time he left (when he was a minor) does make the claim somewhat credible. There's plenty of evidence that the choice for male youths at that time was leave or join whichever gang controlled your area. The idea that everyone is an "economic migrant" ignores the reality of the situation, which is far more complex.
Testing that it doesn’t have text doesn’t help if the text was a bitmap in the first place.

Normally the use case is that you still want to distribute it as a PDF, usually consisting of many pages, and without loss of quality, so the printing/scanning/screenshotting option may not be very practical.

No, the real solution is to use an editor that allows you to remove text (and/or cut out bitmaps), before you add black rectangles for clarity.
No, it's definitely this, and I'm confident in saying that because I do, actually, try to have open conversations with these people. And they always back down and undermine _their own beliefs_. It's a strange kind of paradox, in which they support a set of actions but wish to be immune from any obvious consequences of said actions. Despite those consequences being, you know, the draw of said actions.

For context, a lot of people in my family vote right always. Trust me, I have engaged with people on the right and conspiracists, and the common theme is their reliance in a distrust for the people and actions they themselves support. It's an almost supreme lack of conviction, juxtaposed with a religion-like blind faith.

If it's any consolation to you, or anyone, this isn't a new thing. You can see this kind of behavior throughout history in all populist movements that have gone sour. Their supporters stuck in a type of purgatory, where they must ignore what is actually going on while absentmindedly following the messaging. When asked "so what happens now?", they do not know. But they are certain it will be okay.
But again, you then get (much) worse UX than plaintext HTTP, it won't even remember the certificate. The thing that makes TOFU work is that you at least only have to verify the certificate once. If you use a self-signed certificate, you have to allow it every session.

A self-signed certificate has the benefit of being treated as a secure origin, but that's it. Sometimes you don't even care about that and just want the encryption. That's pretty much where this argument all comes from.
It's not really, because courts move slowly. We're just now starting to see the repair of some things like chevron deference. Wickard v. Filburn still hasn't been overturned. It's just as inconsistent to say "we should leave things tilted forever" as it is to say "we should restore balance".
Miso made in space tastes nuttier, researchers find
I was criticizing your explanation. I don't think it made a persuasive case. This is how discussions work. Or at least, arguments.

I also disagree with your point that "schools have drifted in the values they support". It's probably more accurate to say the right wing has sprinted in the opposite direction of the typical values of a university.

I also don't think this has anything to do with a rise in authoritarianism, it's far more likely to attribute such a thing to fear and desperation, whether real or invoked by influencers for a specific reason.
First person games: yes, quite a lot. Flight sims with wonky physics? No, not really at all.

Some of the controls were fine, but I found the ship piloting experience to be barely usable and definitely not enjoyable.
I told our VP of engineering the other day that the problem they're having is putting everything into locked-in/managed services when you should be owning your product.

The service I built has 99.99% availability, most of that was achieved by putting it in K8S clusters in multiple regions behind a CDN. Only managed service I rely on is SQL with better guaranteed uptime than I have (also way cheaper than doing it ourselves).

Aside from SQL, I can lift-and-shift almost all of our services at a moments notice. The only problem would be slightly degraded database query time, but we do a lot of caching in the clusters.
It sounds like you're thinking about a "hack", as in quick and dirty solution.

But that does not relate to "hacking", and most certainly does not relate to "hacker ethos". And while "hacking" is sort of ambiguous, I don't recall ever seeing "hacker ethos" defined by quick and dirty solutions.
Do, did, does it matter. The sheeple are now hooked on the free shipping, and are now too addicted for how it happened to matter.
Animal husbandry leaves behind a lot of evidence, starting from different distributions of animal ages and sexes found in bones in refuse pits, to genetic evidence of artificial selection.

This evidence is found everywhere. But it's dateable, and you can find the oldest instances of it in the fertile crescent.
Is there something wrong with that? Incredibly common parlance.
So I've had this in mind for ages, but my coworkers have only just realized it and started implementing it. Thus for most people, it's *new*s.
Note that I said "even" and "less than ten". Even ignoring damage he's already suffered in the prison, the "good outcomes" are still only 30% (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20).
Google invented the technology.

OpenAI was the copycat.

If Google had patented this technique, OpenAI wouldn’t have existed.
Thank you for these new UI components! The library looks impressive. The MIT license and optional nature of these components are definitely steps in the right direction.
Though I wanted to share some thoughts on the business model. The subscription-based approach for core editor functionality presents challenges when competing with fully open source alternatives. The product quality and developer experience with Tiptap are truly excellent, but having an editor as a subscription service can be difficult to justify for many projects.
I think the cloud services make perfect sense as premium offerings, but it would be worth considering a different approach for the base editor experience. Perhaps offering a premium one-time purchase option for entrepreneurs could bridge the gap. A feature rich premium template without requiring deep knowledge of ProseMirror/Tiptap internals would definitely be something interesting.
For future components, I'd love to see commenting threads with Hocuspocus live notifications. Also, an AI toolbar similar to Notion's implementation would be valuable. The TipTap template is different from the notion UX. The content edits in the notion implementation happen in a separate AI-specific editor and users can suggest changes there, rather than in the main editor.
Again, thanks for the continuous improvements to Tiptap.
I don't understand the criticism. Once upon a time, flying in an airplane was on the forefront of technology and only "professionals" did it to do important stuff such as weather data collecting. Now, commercial aviation exists and everybody and his brother flies to hither and yon for the most mundane purposes.

Shouldn't we be celebrating that spaceflight is following the same trajectory? Sure, it's for the mega rich, but so was early air travel. It took a few decades to become common for the masses, but we had to start somewhere!

I bet many of us here on HN would glady pay a few thousand dollars to take this trip. In order for that to happen we need these trips to make the whole process mundane. We'll know we're there when hardly anyone is paying much attention to these launches.
The country code made it feel a lot closer, a bit more personal. I haven’t used it in years but it was a nice thing to see sometimes. Like the fun animations they sometimes do but more real. We’re in a different age now
You're describing navigational queries. A small subset of all searches so I'd say your premise is wrong.
>But I would like to say that sci fi that applied to computers, AI, automation, were just dreams of a different world, because those technologies hadn’t been exploited yet. Even many of the dystopias feel innocent with today’s knowledge of where it went. Such as 1984, imo.

On this I definitely agree, especially on the last part. Specifically, when I read the science fiction of previous decades, and see how its descriptions of a surveillance state compare to the surveillance capacities that literally get applied today by so many states (with varying degrees of authoritarianism), the old sci fi seems absurdly quaint.
I come here to read interesting technology news, and most of the Doge stories are not interesting technology news. It would suck if HN were full of boring stuff that I can read elsewhere.

I do care a lot about the current situation, and I keep up to date by reading all the other sources that cover politics and the economy. I flag most politics articles because they lower the quality of HN.

If something is either very novel or very interesting it should definitely make it to the front page. But most stuff that gets flagged is getting the right treatment.

However, the one you posted does look kind of interesting. It probably got flagged by people who are even more sick of politics polluting HN and are flagging reflexively.
You may be crushed to learn that, while I did stop working on standard JS in Sept. 1997 when we finished ES1 (started in Nov. 1996), turning to found Mozilla and then Firefox to restart the browser market, which enabled restarting JS standards at Ecma in 2005, I then led the ES4 effort, forged the Harmony peace between ES3.1 and ES4 factions, and continued to worked on the standardized language in committee through 2018 March.

BigInt was my last collaboration (with Daniel Ehrenberg). It's in ES2020 and all the engines now. Don't be bitter!
I didn't peruse the source code. I just read the linked article in its entirety and it says

> The computation is quite slow. In order to stay as flexible as possible, I'm using the Monte Carlo method. Which means the calculator is running about 250K AST-based computations for every calculation you put forth.

So therefore I conclude Monte Carlo is being used.
> I regret not having had the chance to visit the states in the 80s.

Every one if the problems you complain of was far worse in the 1980s, except maybe the “expensive” one because all the others drove down desirability. so I don't know why, if they are problems for you now, you would regret missing the opportunity to experience them at their more intense levels then.

Like, seriously, urban crime rates were many times higher, homelessness share of the population was higher (and rising more rapidly), etc.
Is this limited to lockstep between softcores on a die - so good for low level error failures like soft error, but no good if the package dies?

Yes, most of my family is right-wingers.

What you have to understand about the populist far-right is they are, by definition of populism, appealing to the bottom of the barrel. This characterization of how right-wing voters grapple with what their representatives are doing is uncomfortable because we all know it's true.
On the surface it looks like the latter.

But when visas are getting revoked from equating "hey guys, maybe war crimes against Palestinian civilians are bad" with terrorism I do not think we can trust that any legal precedent will be leveraged only for its stated purpose.
That sort of makes me wonder if the best form of censoring would be solid black shape, THEN passing it through some diffusion image generation step to infill the black square. It will be obvious that it's fake, but it'll make determining the "edges" of the censored area a lot harder. (Might also be a bit less distracting than a big black shape, for your actual non-advisarial viewers!)
Funny, I thought the whole point was to hold on to the bag as long as you can. Think back to the first time you heard about btc or eth, and how much return a modest investment would have made. It's the people that sold early that lost out.

Or don't use Rust. There are seriously better and more supported options if you don't try to force a language where it clearly doesn't belong.
this gets exponentially harder with a bigger blur radius, though.
4chan down since Monday night after "pretty comprehensive own"
So you are saying that anyone who leaves central america can never return home because they would then be murdered? I don't think you are saying that, because people move back and forth from central america every day without being murdered.

An awful lot of people move every day, even from areas where there are protection rackets. Do the protection rackets kill everyone who comes home to visit after moving to another city? How do they keep track of who is 'escaping' and who is just moving because they got married or found a job somewhere else? Again, you aren't suggesting that these rackets ban all movement in and out of the areas they loosely control?

People come to the US primarily to find work at a much higher wage than they would be able to find where they are from. Often there is no opportunity for work whatsoever where they are from. They can have a life here that they would never be able to achieve, they can have healthy children who get medical and dental care and will have a chance at an education and a good life here.

If I were in their shoes I would absolutely try to come here illegally if I couldn't do so legally. If I was caught I would, without hesitation, lie and say I would be murdered if I returned home, or whatever else my lawyer carefully prompted me to say, just like Mr Garcia and almost everyone else claiming this.
Please don't misquote me; I didn't call people lunatics. There are radical wings to both the left and right. You can argue that, but that's true is that the problems in SF have objectively gotten much, much worse. All the problems you're calling out are true, and many of the reasons you're saying homeless stay are true. What's also true is that there's a big discontinuity in crime rates and decay of public order that matches much more closely with changes in policing and justice along with some social programs.
Honestly looks like a fairly heavy handed bot. Is very close to the "if it has trans" decisions we know they did in the search for things to cancel.
Oh yeah I'm predicting a claim will be made I disagree with. But I can imagine the mental gymnastics, post a prediction and watch for the outcome.

Usually there's a shakedown, did Trump ever make NPR an offer they "couldn't" refuse?

>Presumably your requirements dictate that your code must do something when getFile fails, so you are obviously going to write a test for that scenario. How do you envision that potential crash condition evading the test? The CPU steps through until getFile fails, then checks if you are running a test and if it so it invents a valid file handle, but if it notices you are in production it returns a corrupt file handle and then crashes? That doesn't make any sense. What does make sense to you that explains how your code will pass tests but fail in production?

Sigh. You said it was a feature. You said v being nil was a feature lol. Now you want to test it to see if it crashes? I'm saying it should be tested, but YOU said it was a feature for golang to always return a valid v. Now I know you're just not aware of what you're talking about.

>If what you are struggling to say is that you have no such requirement to deal with the failure so it is unspecified behaviour, and thus you didn't feel the need to write a test for it, all you can do with sum types, to keep the compiler happy, is purposefully panic. It is unspecified behaviour. Anything else but crashing would be nonsensical – something that is true even if it were written in Rust. Is the source of the panic significant?

I don't need to specify the difference here. You're just being stubborn. You already know that in rust you need to explictly panic vs. golang you can panic mistakenly with a hidden nil. This discussion is over.
On the contrary I had completely written off Google until a few days ago.

Gemini Pro 2.5 is finally competitive with GPT/Claude, their Deep Research is better and has a 20/day limit rather than 10/month, and now with a single run of Veo 2 I’ve gotten a much better and coherent video than from dozens of attempts at Sora. They finally seems to have gotten their heads collectively unstuck from their rear end (but yeah it sucks not having access).
It looks nice, but I find the choppy scrolling (on an M1 MBP, no less!) to be distracting.

It also doesn't really tell me anything about the content, except where I'm going to see tables or code blocks, so I'm not sure what the benefit is.

Given the really janky scrolling, I'd like to have a way to hide it.
If you REALLY care then replace the real information with fake information and pixelate that.

But most people don’t care enough.

Or I guess you could make a little video of pixelation that you just paste on top so it looks like you pixelated the thing but in reality there’s no correspondence between the original image and what’s on screen.
what part specifically about this access seems “limited” to you?
This was satisfying to read:

“Code is not law. Law is law,” Mr. Gottlieb wrote in a lengthy thread to Mr. Medjedovic on X in late October, 2021. “And what you did was not a ‘clever trade.’ It was market manipulation. It’s illegal. And people go to prison for it.”

Tech exceptionalism is eternal. It takes the occasional Napster or PirateBay failure to disabuse a generation in the tech community of the triumphalist nonsense it talks itself into believing. But then the next generation comes along and doesn't know better.
US Big Tech healthcare plans do. I don't recall last time I had to pay anything out of pocket for dental cleaning, for example, and it's covered 4 times / year. I had root canal and wisdom teeth extraction too, and while those had some copay, it was nowhere near the numbers you quote.
They are using heavy-handed tactics. Per this article, the whistleblower was threatened. At the SSA, a 26-year veteran was dragged out of the building. Similar story at the IRS. DOGE has the backing of US Marshalls and the president. They can resist, but they'll just end up locked out.
