We're not talking about desktop machines or even mobile phones. I'm talking about specialized sensors that are sold to big customers who deploy millions of them at a time. A 10-cent increase in the cost to manufacture easily results in millions of dollars lost over the lifetime of the product's sale and operation. We also sell battery operated devices expected to continue operating flawlessly for 20 years, on a small clutch of AA batteries. So no, we don't just "put in a core high power enough" because that boosts the production cost, eats into the power budget, and causes us to lose contracts.

We are absolutely watching the PQC space, but we absolutely will not move at all, beyond experimental toys, until NIST is done their first round and maybe not even then if there aren't any actual QCs around doing real work.

Not bugs per se, but a couple of improvements were fed back to HarfBuzz's Indic shaper.

The first was a minor optimisation to the final reordering of pre-base matras; the second was an adjustment to the output of the Indic table generator.
If domulti is not set, the wide char function is not called as far as I can tell. Why would it? It's explicitly meant not to do wide char stuff in that case.

FWIW, when this was going around for the first time I took this Darwin version of wc and experimented with setting domulti to const 0, statically removing all paths where it might do wide character stuff. I didn't measure any performance difference to just running it unmodified.
Some people may lose their jobs, but with the unemployment rate at the lowest it's been in 40 years, they should be able to find other jobs, hopefully with benefits.

Sure, but is it really volunteering when the alternative is capital punishment? Or societal ostracization? Heck, if that was the case, I would "volunteer" as well.

I see nothing in the Wikipedia article that convincingly argues who built them, other than the theories of two archaeologists.

We weren't there, and AFAIK, there are no first-account written records documenting the construction of the Great Pyramid. So until something like that shows up, we won't know definitively who built them.

It might have been built by slaves. Or not. We don't know.

I don't think it's been said which surprises me, but basic programming of course. Programming properly requires a mindset where you are thinking about 'what will happen if this happens?'. A lot of people don't seem to naturally think like that. It can be helpful.

I've had my own dreams while awake, the key is to stay aware while you are going to sleep..

Everyone knows the state between sleeping and awake, its great.

But to go to sleep while still conscious, is like advanced meditation. I've had similar experiences during meditation.

The world around you merges into a dream-like state, but it all seems to feel more real than the world we usually experience while awake.

Dreams are more of a direct experience than reality, the feelings and emotions are always much more powerful for me than real life.

My father, B-17 navigator, said he accepted that he was going to die in combat. The odds at the time of surviving were terrible (about 80% casualties).

He did survive (hence my existence), and told me that whenever he felt down about something he'd remember his buddies who died in the war and how he'd been given a chance to live through it, and he'd re-appreciate his life.

Upon his return to the states, the crews were led to tables to eat. There was nothing to order, the staff assured them "we know what you want." Sure enough, they did - steak, eggs, tomatoes, etc.

Upon return to civilian life, he said he was astounded by the triviality of peoples' everyday life concerns. They were going to live another day, what did they have to be concerned about?

Childhood nostalgia absolutely plays a role, but in my experience game developers tended to trade quality for graphics as the years advanced. In the 1980s games like Ultima 4 couldn't use graphics as a crutch and thus had to make the games really engrossing. My other grips is the ever-decreasing difficulty of the games. Back in the 1980s most games were difficult (if not very difficult/nearly impossible) to finish. You could play a game back then for months or years and never finish it. There was no internet to search for the answers to problems or riddles you couldn't solve. Games were not designed to be easily completed by virtually anyone who played. I can't remember how many hours I spent playing Zork before I was able to solve all the puzzles and beat that game (let alone Zork II and Zork III).
Uploading to both services is still supported through the Backup and Sync app. But once uploaded they are independent copies and deleting from one doesn't delete from the other. I also expect that this support will be deprecated at some point in the future.

Not keeping Drive and Photos in sync really killed it for me. I ended up switching from Google Drive to Dropbox but I still use Google Photos.

I have photos added to my library in Dropbox automatically added to my Google Photos library and this has worked well so far. [1]

"Noscript" would be the plugin of choice, FYI. You can set granular permissions for every website, which is critical to personal peace of mind in my humble opinion.
You can also toggle JS in firefox from "about:config" and setting "javascript.enabled" to false/true. But Noscript is far more useful for setting site-specific permissions.
I see people (legitimately) complaining about the longstanding lack of support for Mac OS native widgets but personnally I'm equally annoyed with the new behavior of menus.

The standard of basically every OS is that hovering the pointer over an item opens a submenu (if there's one). In Firefox, I have to click, for instance to open "Help" in the burger menu. The sub-menu then appears by replacing the parent, instead of forming a cascade near it. It's non-standard and it's slower.

The only rationale I can see for it is avoiding complex mouse paths and accidental closing of menus for absolute beginners, but still. It's not like it's not an old, solved HCI problem (see question 8). https://www.asktog.com/columns/022DesignedToGiveFitts.html

It's also worth noting that Feser defends Aquinas' cosmological argument on the same Aristotelian principles in which it is grounded - someone going to his blog for just plain old Aristotle rather than Catholic apologia is going to be disappointed. He has used his blog to argue, contra Pope Francis, why the death penalty is actually a good thing. Like all things, worth a read but also worth a huge grain of salt.

You might find that stoicism is the better approach rather that pure ignorance.

Living in ignorance and seeking to learn nothing is just fueling the dystopian world we're walking into.

The most content people in the world are people who know everything there is to know about physics, philosophy, chemistry etc. That deep knowledge opens their eyes to the big picture.

Ignore the news, but learn everything there is to know about humanity.

The tool looks great, seems very easy to use. The UI/UX side of it is on point. The missing information about what the product is makes me hesitant to use it.

I looked through the pages... Tried a few times to find out what happens if I decide to use your tool after the 24H.
I looked for a pricing page and failed. Makes sense if this is just your POC/demo.

So yeah, the ambiguity of all this makes it highly unattractive to even evaluate. It doesn't offer any value that a terraform RDS script or even docker-compose script that renders a template to give you the copypasta database init blocks.
>the eventual end of the document-based web

That sounds like the worst future possible. I love the fact that I can go to any web page and look at all of the HTML, CSS, JS (even if I need to use a tool to un-obfuscate it). Have you never wondered how someone did something and then looked at their code to find out how they did it? I love being able to use curl and wget to grab a web page. How would that work in a non document-based web? I really think this would be a terrible thing if it actually came to fruition. I truly hope I'm retired or dead before it occurs.

The experience is easy to try but impossible to describe. You're often left with the impression that the dimension you enter (or however you describe what happens during a visit to the "DMT Realms") is more real than this life. You feel distinctly like this awake state IS the hallucination.

This experience can be very challenging or disillusioning for many people. Integration of these experiences is a super important part of the process of using psychedelics to systematically level up your consciousness. That said, once you've used them to a level where you have moved past shadow work and into more realization work, these substances seem almost miraculous.

My favorite quote on this is by Terence McKenna:
"People say, 'is there risk, to DMT? It sounds so intense. Is it dangerous?' The answer is yes, it's tremendously dangerous. The danger is the possibility of death by astonishment."
This is a good framework and categorization for evaluating the effectiveness of AI.

TLDR:

AI is good at: Perception (how things are)

AI is ok at: Judgement (how things are)

AI is poor at: Predicting (how things are going to be)

E.g., AI is effective to varying degrees at observing and characterizing how things are, but not at predicting how they're going to be.

For predicting, AI with hundreds of variables fairs no better than simple linear regression over single digits of variables. Simply because, the future is not reliably predictable, by any means.
>What kind of data model/consistency/isolation does it offer?

Each DB is a full new instance (with a mutex for read/write and open/close). Your data isn't shared between any other DB.

It offers read-your-writes consistency since there's no sharding/duplication ATM.

Hopefully that covers it. Otherwise happy to clarify.

Hi all,

I just launched my new side project, GraphBox

GraphBox allows you to provision a GraphQL API in a matter of moments for prototyping, testing and mocking purposes

I created this project as I've seen a number of similar apps that provide the same thing for REST APIs, but I haven't really seen anything for GraphQL, which has grown in popularity massively in recent times and I think there might be space in the market for something like this.

Thanks for looking,

Chris
Yes, your impressions are wrong.

It could be suggestion / false memory. Once one participant tries to explain their experience in more concrete terms, the others start to fit the description into their own experience, and since we have similar prior experiences, they "see" the same things.

I think Electron is popular because you can hire web devs to make a desktop product. With JS you can write code that runs on your server (NodeJS) desktop (Electron), browser and mobile app (Cordova). It's not a great experience but it is good for rapid development, easier hiring of skills (just need some web devs!) and the code reuse might be helpful for bug reduction.

> What’s wrong with people presenting how they see things and employees getting to decide?

Sure, but I kind of doubt the direction avalanches of money are supposed to be going.

Maybe a system where costs are managed to be equal and parts of funding are handled by the state would allow more employees to get union and non union options presented to them fairly.

The US is headed to a very uneven system and that tends toward a lot of political problems so fixing distribution to workers should be a priority if the US wants to maintain democratic institutions.

> Anyone that votes republican in New Jersey or California is effectively removed from the equation.

Their votes would count as much as anyone else's if the presidency were decided by popular vote. Why should all the Republicans in these blue states be censored by the Electoral College when electing the president?

You said earlier that every Californian's vote should be lesser than everyone's vote in smaller and redder states, right? But this censoring of Republicans is a direct consequence of this affirmative action.

And what happens, with the Electoral College in place, if someday the Democrats gain majority in some small states with amplified voting power? The USA would become a one-party state.

Check out erowid if you want some high dosage lsd stories. In the early 90s I encountered some "mop up" doses that were claimed to be in the 3000 mic range. I tried them twice.. first time during the Rodney king riots in SF (took half a mopup, started out really fun then devolved into a nightmare. Hid in the garden of a high end restaurant, literally inside a bush, watching the mayhem unfold on market Street.. Second time was while backpacking in pt Reyes and that was the best, most transformative drug experience I've ever had. I talked to a mushroom and learned a lot about my self and humanities relationship to nature.. But, at peak, I was completely disassociated. Basically blind/deaf to external reality for about 3-4 hours. I was with 3 other people.. and I think we were just rolling around in a meadow the whole time. Eventually we somehow ended up at the ocean, and the sunset brought us all to tears. In the 90s, the most commonly available doses here on the street were about 150 mics, and cost around 2 to 6 bucks. And the comedown was ugly. I've been told that cheap/old lsd, degrades into strychnine.. which is why the comedown is so harsh. On the high dose ones I did, the comedown was completely different. Nowadays I stick to the occasional couple of shrooms or a hit of molly once or twice a year. I think today I would have too much emotional baggage and ties to my consentual shared hallucination with humanity to do psychs that powerful again.
