Feeling suicidal isn’t a debilitating condition. People around you have suicidal ideation every day, and they manage their jobs well.

I’ll counter your argument with this: a bus driver is allowed to feel suicidal ideation, yet they safeguard the lives of everyone on board. Maiming everyone would be as easy as accelerating on the highway and swerving off the road. Yet we don’t worry about this, because it’s rare enough not to matter.

Meanwhile if you say "a suicidal bus driver has no business behind the steering wheel", congratulations, you’ve just forced all the suicidal bus drivers to hide their condition.

You’re not going to be able to detect this illness the way you can detect the ones you name. Your policy is going to force people to hide it. It’s a dumb policy. That’s not an appeal to emotion.

You're citing a paper the Alliance for Defending Freedom regularly uses[1] to support the conspiracy theory that doctors are "turning gay kids trans". The study itself uses criteria for gender dysphoria that's been outdated for decades.

Here's what more reliable studies from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the largest professional group of pediatricians in the country, say[2]:

> Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition

> We found that an average of 5 years after their initial social transition, 7.3% of youth had retransitioned at least once. At the end of this period, most youth identified as binary transgender youth (94%), including 1.3% who retransitioned to another identity before returning to their binary transgender identity. A total of 2.5% of youth identified as cisgender and 3.5% as nonbinary. Later cisgender identities were more common among youth whose initial social transition occurred before age 6 years; their retransitions often occurred before age 10 years.

Sorry, was an offhand remark about solutions that may end up harming us further when applied on a planet-wide scale. How much of this stuff needs to be made to actually have an effect, and with how much energy? When any attempt at reducing CO2 is met with city-sized warehouses full of kW GPUs powered by gas turbines, adding to century’s worth of GHGs you start to feel what is the point of even trying to pretend there’s a way out.

Update from the developer I’m actively working on OS Yamato — the AI assistant integration is almost ready, and I’m also making minor UI adjustments. Messaging will soon include reply animations and emoji reactions to make conversations more gentle and expressive. Currently, it supports only Japanese and English, but I’m planning to add more language localizations in the future.

Feedback or thoughts are always welcome!

I'd call the first part utterly counter-productive and stupid.

The fact that he just signed a bill utterly decimating the last important work done in this country also runs counter to the idea that he's doing fuck all about it.

And, the example completely ignores the conversation part of the OOP. The last 40-50 years of neoliberal drunken greed by the people at the top isn't going to be suddenly reversed for the next fifty years. There are few ways of reversing that. All, uncomfortable.

Several things:

1. In the offline world, the child and media provider are in the same physical location, subject to the same laws. On the internet, they're in different places. This is central, as the argument by SCOTUS seems to be that the most restrictive law anywhere applies everywhere.

2. I don't think "just" is a silly instruction. Your child can do any number of things and we expect parents to have a certain amount of oversight and/or involvement to help children navigate it. I don't see how the internet is any different from anything else.

3. There's an important difference between a child entering a store or library and finding a page on the internet. Entering a store, library, or physical home, or whatever, presupposes a certain amount of effort involved in entering the premises, and that the owner of the store or whatever is present and can in fact monitor each visitor easily; on the internet it's a matter of linking from one text to another. Sometimes I don't think you can draw analogies easily, and this is one of those cases. To me it's less like requiring an ID for purchase of a media item within a store, and more like having ID requirements to view something in a public square, or having ID requirements to publish the media item in the first place. It's a bit like SCOTUS saying "if you publish a book in state X where it's legal, but state Y requires a publisher to be responsible for monitoring every purchaser of their book everywhere, then you have to comply with state Y."

For what it's worth, I think its absurd to have legal age requirements for speech, offline or online.

Pretty bad as in that isn't true?

Firefox is the option that doesn't intentionally leave users vulnerable to hostile adtech. Firefox is the option with containers. Past that it is performant and reliable under a wide variety of user loads and platforms.

or Pretty bad as in Firefox+forks are better than the alternatives?

It is true that some unfortunate default options were recently added to Firefox configs.

Those options are unfortunate because they are variants of anti-user options baked into Chromium - options created to keep Chromium users susceptible to big-tech's worst intentions.

>But let’s not be fooled by the word “small.” Even a single SMR is a massive, highly radioactive industrial machine, capable of powering a mid-sized city.

I don't understand this. We have made nuclear reactors to fit into a submarine with last century tech. What makes the author think that we can't make it smaller and safer?

I have nothing against Solar Power but I have seen a lot of false marketing by presenting total installed capacity in the ranges of 1GW, 2GW etc. While in reality it should be have been multiplied by the capacity factor which is 0.25 in general for Solar and 0.85 in general for Nuclear.

Makes no sense to compare total installed capacity of Solar with Nuclear since the capacity factors vary significantly.

> in this case its at least impartial and the scans are transparently available.

Whenever I rent a car, after getting the keys I walk around the car and take photos of it on my phone from every angle. If I notice any scratches or dents, I tell them. But I still keep the photos, just in case. Then I do the same when I return it. That way if - at any point - they say I damaged the car, I have timestamped photos.

It feels like an obvious, easy way to cover my arse if there's a dispute. Otherwise you're basically screwed if they claim you got the car scratched up.

I'm really surprised other people don't do that. Its what my family has done from before we even had digital cameras.

Google has a history of sabatoging Youtube on Firefox. See for example https://www.tomshardware.com/news/youtube-responds-to-delaye....

It isn't unique to youtube either. Gmail offline mode only works on chrome, even though other browsers have the necessary APIs. And menu copy and paste in google docs uses a special chrome-only extension that google pre-installs in chrome, instead of the clipboard API that works in other browsers as well.

Yep. That and stuff like the filesystem API. That thing is so useful for apps like excalidraw, photopea, etc,. They really need to implement it.

They should at least implement it behind a feature flag, if they feel like virtue signalling how they're oh-so-concerned for the privacy implications. (while simultaneously launching an ads business in the backdrop)

Here is the full SAIB on the Boeing fuel control switches. This report lists the part 4TL837-3D as the switch used on 787s, and is the part mentioned in the preliminary report on the accident.

The SAIB does single out the part 766AT613-3D, but that's for suggesting a replacement for it as 766AT614-3D.

Per the Honeywell catalog for 4TL837-3D, if is a Snap Action toggle switch. The base model doesn't have a locking mechanism, which is available as an option

That doesn't mean any of those other companies are buying or selling that data.

The healthcare provider uses an EHR. They might have some managed service provider managing their IT assets and their EHR deployment. Two companies they have BAAs with. That EHR company could be cloud hosted, another BAA. They probably rely on other tools and contractors which might have BAAs. Later on when they go to bill they exchange that billing data through billing analysis tools (another BAA) and then submit to a clearing house (another BAA). All of those companies probably have companies they work with that potentially need BAAs as well, if they work directly with that PHI data in the role of working on behalf of that healthcare provider.

One trip to the doctor could potentially involve dozens of companies you've never heard of that might have a business use case to handle your healthcare data in some way or fashion and none of them actually sold that data or mishandled it under HIPAA.

I currently run a set of docker containers for proxy, backed, frontend, and authserv, and the best I've got is "edit" mode in vscode...and while it probably 2-3x my output, it maybe 0.8x my quality, and 0.5x my understanding/scalability.

It's funny, I'm told my whole adult life "We can't be like Europe! We're too different! We're too heterogenous/big/special/insert_excuse_here!"

And yet, we can point to a number on their balance sheet and say full stop "This is what we shall spend and nothing more, if it still sucks, skill issue."

WHY does America spend trillions more on healthcare than our peers? Is it because of welfare queens on Medicaid? Or is it the scumsuckers in the private health insurance industry, in a system that keeps most people in all but indentured servitude to their employer to even be able to afford the privilege of getting dropped by the insurance companies the second you get sick?

Is there waste? Sure.

Tell me how just going in like Ron Swanson and slashing the shit out of every budget while simultaneously blowing up the debt with tax cuts fixes any of that.

I don't see where the win is here:

1. If the pilot hides his mental illness, a mentally ill person is flying the airplane.

2. If the pilot gets treatment for his mental illness, a mentally ill person is flying the plane.

P.S. When I was a teenager, I tried to join the Air Force to be a pilot like my dad. But since I wear glasses, there was no way. The AF was perfectly justified in not taking me, I understood that. I empathize with the rejected pilots, but that's the way it has to be. Life isn't fair. So I chose another career.

> I don’t need a source…

Yikes dude.

> …to back up what I’ve consistently observed with my own eyes

People have observed everything UFOs and demons to ivermectin curing their COVID. None of it is real but yet people continue to swear up and down on these things gs.

> ...given the speed at which research sometimes move

Filling in knowledge gaps with imagination is not a substitute for actual data. Ever.

> and particularly since any concern over perceived “sexual liberation” attacks one of the sacred cows of progressivism

Hard disagree. You yourself can go study human psychology and sexuality then perform studies. If you can assemble real data the scientific community would be forever grateful for your contributions. The real barrier is not “liberals”, it’s that it takes years upon years of hard work to get there. Unlike your comment, which is backed up by “my own eyes”.

> I know the research is there and has been if you’re actually interested

Leading with “I don’t need citations”, then promising that they’re “totally there” at the bottom doesn’t really sit right with me.

Anyways, it’s not the role of the state to legislate morality. That always ends poorly. If porn is bad for kids, then parents need to step up. Maybe the state could offer resources for parents - I’m not opposed to that. If it’s bad for adults, they those with chronic habits should seek help.

IP banning Tennessee would be an interesting form of protest. Seems like these laws are usually super unpopular, but the general public doesn’t usually find out about them enough to get upset. If it doesn’t airtime on Fox News, my dad will literally never know it happened.

Putting up a big “Tennessee might try to put me in jail if you access this site” would get people’s attention.

Not that any business that gets a real amount of traffic would ever do such a thing. Nobody visits my shitty personal site lol

Peer review doesn't tell you if the data is valid or not. they published their methodology and anyone is free to repeat the study.

Peer review just checks for obvious errors in study design, asks for more info if needed, and decides whether the paper is a good fit for the journal.

Watson and Crick's paper describing the structure of DNA wasn't peer reviewed. if you think they're wrong, try it for yourself and publish the results.

When a few groups all get the same result then you can be confident about the claims made. until then, it's just kind of interesting to think about, which is fine.

> A.J.K.P. and S.W.C. are co-founders and co-directors of Circadian Health Innovations PTY LTD

I do agree that this paper alone should not be used to help sell a product. But it looks like this paper just confirms previous findings using more rigorous methodology (see background):

"Light at night causes circadian disruption, (21–23) and is therefore a potential determinant of cardiovascular disease risk. Higher risks for coronary artery disease (24) and stroke (25) have been observed in people living in urban environments with brighter outdoor night light, as measured by satellite. Brighter night light has been cross-sectionally related to atherosclerosis, (26,27) obesity, hypertension, and diabetes (28) in small but well-characterized cohorts, using bedroom (26,27) and wrist-worn (28) light sensors. Moreover, experimental exposure to night light elevates heart rate and alters sympathovagal balance. (29) However, current evidence linking night light with cardiovascular risk is mostly within small cohorts, or relies on geospatial-level measurements of outdoor lighting, rather than measures of personal light exposure.

And that's not to mention pretty much every single creator stuffing sponsored sections into their videos now.

Fortunately I mainly watch the videos which are not made by "creators" looking for $$$ but just people sharing something interesting and useful; the ones which have no annoying intros or outros, "like share and subscribe" drivel, and are often not much more than raw unedited content. They still exist on YouTube.

It really depends on the implementation around it, how a user conducts themselves, and what data you can buy. While there is zero knowledge inside the proof, its use creates a side channel that reveals information.

For instance: The relying party server needs to call the auth server on novel users. Thats a new, unavoidable indicator!

How large are token batches and how long do they last? Will the implementation force them to wait a time period between redemption and use?

A bad implementation means the user IP will talk to the A server, then it will contact the RP server, who will contact the A server. Because this happens once per connection (or 60 minutes in this bill) and takes maybe a few hundred milliseconds. there's not going to be a huge number of candidates to have to sort through. And that's just the handshake.

Sure it is a function coloring. Just in a different form. `async` in other languages is something like an implicit parameter. In zig they made this implicit parameter explicit. Is that more better/more ergonomic? I don't know yet. The sugar is different, but the end result the same. Unless you can show me concrete example of things that the approach zig has taken can do that is not possible in say, rust. Than I don't buy that it's not just another form of function coloring.

So theoretically Chrome is open source.

Open source is supposed to prevent issues like this, as it is possible to fork Chrome pre-MV3 and preserve this functionality.

However, this appears to have not happened.

Perhaps we need a better definition of “open source”, or well-funded organizations that are adversarial in nature to the maintainers of open source commercial software.

Lots of f/oss has malware and misfeatures in it, hiding behind the guise of “open source”. It doesn’t count unless there are non-corporate interests at work in the project that are willing and able to fork.

> The study itself uses criteria for gender dysphoria that's been outdated for decades.

The study uses the DSM-III and DSM-IV criteria for gender incongruence disorder, or GID, now referred to as gender dysphoria. The sample ranges from 1989 to 2002 and those were the contemporary iterations of the DSM. The DSM-V wasn't published until 2013. At most the criteria is outdated by one decade, not "several decades". Furthermore, the author of the study would later write the criteria for gender dysphoria in the DSM-V. The criteria are not particularly different, and the author of the study I linked has stated in interviews that most of the sample would meet the criteria for gender dysphoria under the DSM-V (which, again, he wrote so this opinion should carry some weight). In short, the idea that if the psychologists had used the DSM-V the results would be substantially different is not likely.

And this isn't just one study that found low rates of persistence:

> In Green (47), the percentage of persisters was 2% (total n = 44; Mean age at follow-up, 19 years; range, 14–24); in Wallien and Cohen-Kettenis (52), the percentage of persisters was 20.3% (total n = 59; Mean age at follow-up, 19.4 years; range, 16–28); and in Steensma et al. (51), the percentage of persisters was 29.1% (total n = 79; Mean age at follow-up, 16.1 years; range, 15–19). Across all studies, the percentage of persisters was 17.4% (total N = 235), with a range from 0 to 29.1%.3

Are all these other studies finding low rates of persistence also tainted in some way?

The study you linked is among a group that were treated with an affirming model of care, where cross sex gender identity is actively encouraged, and a sizeable chunk of the sample were put on puberty blockers. This comports with what I have written: when gender dysphoric children are met with an affirming model of care and given gender affirming care, very few of them desist in their cross-sex gender identity. When they given a neutral, observational model of care not not prescribed puberty blockers, the majority of them desist. The study you linked just reinforces the former but does nothing to disprove the latter.

You could already do that with the user agent string. What this does is distinguishes between chrome and something else pretending to be chrome. Like say a firefox user who is spoofing a chrome user agent on a site that blocks, or reduces functionality for the firefox user agent.

well in case 2, the pilot get treatment and a doctor will decide if she is fit to fly. That's not bulletproof but still better than case 1.

And to your other point, it's easier to give up on your dream job when young and start with a career that you are a fit for, than to be kicked out after a huge sunk cost and maybe even half way to retirement (illnesses might not be known until later in life). Just as disappointing, but not nearly as life destroying.

> Adding either one causes it to not be callable from certain places.

you can call a function that requires an io parameter from a function that doesn't have one by passing in a global io instance?

as a trivial example the fn main entrypoint in zig will never take an io parameter... how do you suppose you'd bootstrap the io parameter that you'd eventually need. this is unlike other languages where main might or might not be async.
