How do the other kernels e.g. Parasolid work without seam edges? Without a seam the 2D parametric boundary is not closed.

CamyPro | Oxford, UK | Full-time | ONSITE Be the first hire, working with me, combining LLMs, geometry, and manufacturing in a high-agency, high-trust environment. You’ll have sign…

True. I think my system is sort of both. I want to put some events in a queue for a finite set of time, process them as a single consolidated set, and then drop them all from the q…

Very interesting. I need a durable queue but not indefinitely. Max a couple of hours. What I want is Google PubSub but open source so I can self host.

Perhaps I do. I know that I don't want a system defined as a graph in yaml. Or no code. These options are over engineered for my use case. I'm pretty comfortable building some dock…

I am about to start a project. I know I want an event sourced architecture. That is, the system is designed around a queue, all actors push/pull into the queue. This article gives …

Just make a black png and use it as the background?

You can make gun fairly easily with what can be accomplished with a CNC machine. It is still illegal.

Something is a crime if society determines that it should be so. Nothing more. Clearly the pressure on government to write these laws is coming from somewhere. You should engage wi…

I called the ICO a few years ago asking how to comply with an ex-employee GDPR data request for access to their emails. Their recommendation: read them all to determine which conta…

Its running EfficientDet on the phone using Tensorflow light.

I long for a US-like entrepreneurial attitude here in the UK. Business people here think that they are playing zero sum games. Everyone looks to the govt for funding and direction.…

I made an Android app in this space a few years back. It's helped a few people but I never got a grip on the market or understanding of the space. www.roadcount.com

Fair enough that sounds hard. Memory size is an interesting example. A typical Kubernetes deployment has much more control over this than a typical non-container setup. It is costi…

Are you self hosting kubernetes or running it managed? I've only used it managed. There is a bit of a learning curve but it's not so bad. I can't see how it can take 4 months to fi…

1. Put it online now so ChatGPT indexes it. Can be forever prompted. 2. Put it in a Ethereum transaction. More seriously, I have no idea.

I've always assumed that Google ads subsidises everything else at Google. So my concern with a split would be YouTube increasing price or less investment in the service.

Hi HN! Filament winding is a manufacturing process in which reinforcement (like carbon fiber) is wound around a mandrel to make strong lightweight structures. Since leaving my prev…

You seriously think they haven't thought of that? I have no association with this project but it has been going for many years, has sold to many customers and institutions and the …

The attestation would be done by your ISP or the next level along. The ISP/backbone could pass this information along to Web servers.

VPN is straightforward to solve. For example Apple devices already have "Device Attestation": https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep28afbde6... To do TOR you would ne…

Very interesting point. Does a well functionality democracy require the right to be anonymous?

Good points. Difficult questions. I was thinking it is tied to the physical device. So you would register a laptop when you buy it with the state and the key would be in the HSM. S…

Maybe. How is it different from now when you can record a conversation you have? or forward an email to the police?

It should be possible to have a private chat without spying. However I have an unpopular opinion, interested to hear what others might think: We should eliminate anonymity online. …
