I built an app to help improve my handstand
I wanted to motivate myself to do more handstands, so I built an app to take me a few steps further.

I personally find tracking my progress to be very effective, especially if I am serious enough about my goal. It helps me know that I am on track and look into ways to course correct if I am not. The app lets me track my handstands and do other complementary exercises with my voice (start, stop, next), so I don’t have to waste time and energy logging my progress.

If you’ve managed big projects before, you know there are two types of metrics: input and output metrics. How long I can hold a handstand is an example output metric. An input metric is for example how much I am practicing my handstands daily. One of the secrets for doing a handstand is practicing consistently, so I've built into the app daily minutes goal to encourage daily practice, even for just 5 minutes, with reminders and log/calendar and daily/weekly/monthly stats.

The app also helps me track other exercises, especially warm up exercises, that can help me practice handstand safely and show up every day, even if just to meditate about handstands when I’m injured.

All that sounds great, but to be honest, I have not yet managed to improve my handstands. I’ve been too busy building the app, and now have it published on the iOS app store.

So now I have no more excuses! My plan is to go from inconsistently holding a handstand for 3 seconds to consistently holding a handstand for 15 seconds by the end of the year. I will post updates on my blog here: https://www.handstandquest.com/blog. Feel free to follow me and hold me accountable or join me to hit your own goal by the end of the year!

And Harvard doesn't even need to charge tuition with its endowment.
The effects of Covid-19 have never been considered by those people because it is irrelevant since they are pushing an agenda.

From the beginning, a bunch of people decided what the effect of Covid-19 should be and they simply kept pushing for it. It was never well thought, they just kept saying stuff as long as they could get away with it. It was only the flu, It was under control, it was already spread out and the test were detecting only the few and all this will be over in May so on and so on. There was even an Oxford study produced and used to support these claims[0].

These propaganda wars are taking victims now.

[0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22697163

Just dive into the online activity history of the people who spread these things, it's a fascinating world of pushing for edge cases that never materialise but they keep pushing it anyway.
Replying to myself because this comment is on a different topic: the arguments about deplatforming in the linked page are quite frankly ridiculous and are unlikely to succeed, whether made in court or in arbitration.

Patrons in patreon do not have a direct contractual relationship with the projects they sponsor, so there can be no tortious interference of contact.

The cases are simply a gambit that patreon will settle and let these racists back on the platform rather than pay the costs of arbitration.

> Above, we can see charts indicating the additional compute power and memory resources required to operate on FHE-encrypted machine-learning models—roughly 40 to 50 times the compute and 10 to 20 times the RAM that would be required to do the same work on unencrypted models

Are those multiplicative factors specific to machine learning tasks, or is it the same for general purpose computation?

In other words, is there something about the structure of machine learning tasks which makes them more suited for FHE than other computing tasks?
I will keep this in mind!
That's a good perspective.
Maybe I'm just old, but my mental anchor price is a yearly magazine subscription for $24. Anything more than that seems like a ripoff.
Do you really think that Europe and other parts of the world have not had wars?
You need a stick and a throttle. I've been using Saitek X52pro which has both (HOTAS) to play Elite Dangerous with Rift since it came out and they are good but there are many other options available out in the market. For MSFS you may also want to have rudder pedals.
> But it's immoral to single out crimes committed by people we identify with personally as particularly worthy of leniency.

You don't just disagree, but actually believe people asking for leniency are outright behaving immorally. You can disagree without calling someone immoral.

Sending a 17 year old to prison for a non violent crime for 2-4x as long as a murderer would get in my country seems criminal in itself (but I don't think you are immoral for advocating for it).

Reiser was a murderer. An equivalent to this crime would be a 17 Yr old who managed to pick the lock of Fort Knox with a toothpick and walk out with a 1kg gold bar.
I’m not saying your claim is wrong but it’s not clear to me how that article backs the claim that China is pushing hard on RISC-V. It seems more like the old CEO of Arm China was doing no good very bad things, most likely for his own benefit.

“Arm revealed that an investigation had uncovered undisclosed conflicts of interest as well as violations of employee rules.”
Ads are coming either way the platform goes. I was getting ads on Facebook _from_ TikTok trying to get me to create ads on TikTok. A meta-ad.
How the Trump administration could "ban" TikTok
That's typical american ignorant nationalist BS.

These laws and regulations predate most of the service sector. And they give no priority for EU companies - placing the servers in a compliant country(as big companies already do) completely satisfies these rules.

There's the French digital tax, that definitely targets American giants(for tax base shifting mostly)... but this has really no practical impact on any American service giant.
President Trump says he will ban TikTok in United States
Twitter controls a platform that they profit from. They have a clear responsibility to make their platform harder to abuse. We can't simplify the "victim" as simply Twitter itself, we must (as you did) consider the other victims: the owners of the accounts that were hacked, the narrow user base of twitter that was conned, or the general user base that have lost trust in the platform. These users could have great security discipline on their own accounts, but they couldn't do anything about holes in Twitter's backend. Other comments have mentioned front door locks for the metaphor of reasonable responsibility, but in the perspective of the Twitter users themselves, the broken lock was one they didn't control. Twitter must do better in the future, and whether or not legislation is passed to pass culpability, the general public will respond to future lapses in security.
side loading on android and word of mouth in a larger total economy would be the same amount of gnutella then but a far smaller percentage of total market size now.

If it was viable as a base then, would it not be viable as a base now?

for comparison.. its been said to me Nintendo is in profit on consoles and games sold solely within Japan (and maybe Korea)

on that basis, should we declare any unit which fails in the US market a failure?
The _Florida Man_ documentary is also equally fascinating and depressing.

"An eye for an eye" is not the Golden Rule!
The original first Mafia, as far as I know, is the first and also the only GTA-style game with strict road rules and realistic manual gearbox behavior (you could switch to neutral and roll downhill).

There is probably a shared reason why Mafia and proper flight sims (I fly Cessna in X-Plane) are appealing to me; to an outsider either one is like watching paint dry though.
Rust Traits: Defining Behavior
Hello all - I write technical blogs as a way of learning new subjects, and lately I've been learning Rust. Hope it's useful.
It is evident to the whole world that the US doesn't want to compete at the level of high technology, which is what the Chinese have achieved in the last couple of years

Not sure where this is coming from. TikTok is being banned out of national security interests, not because it is an advanced level of technology that the US thinks it can't compete with.
The one your thinking of is a malware attack right? The intended attack results in victims running malware from the attacker. So that's not "phishing" by any definition I recognise.

And even in that attack, the victim's long term credential is protected if they use FIDO authenticators - the bad guys can't use the authenticator without help from the legitimate user and they don't gain any enduring credentials.

So you need to do the attack live and then hope the victim not only doesn't realise you just infected them with malware, but conveniently signs into something at the moment you need a signature, for which you can hijack their expectation to press contact on the authenticator. Then you get one authentication. If you need another one, for any reason (timeout, subsequent operation asks to re-authenticate, anything) you have to do it again because you do not gain enduring credentials.
Then don't use it? Selection doesn't overwrite the clipboard, unless your system is configured to do that specifically.

Fixed that for you.

>It is evident to the whole world that the US doesn't want to compete at the level of high technology, which is what the Chinese have achieved in the last couple of years.

China couldn't even figure out how to make ball point pens until 2017. They still can't produce jet engines that are worth much compared to several US companies with actual expertise. It's hilarious that you think TikTok is anything even close to "high tech".

How's the weather in China lately?
I'm all for breaking from anti-semitic toxicity.

However, if you look into the history of government censorship in the US, you'll quickly find a lot more concerning things to worry about than merely the violation of ideals.

And then you have what I hope is merely a vocal minority that acts so quickly to cudgel their opponents with political correctness that they'll happily label jews "anti-semites" - despite a clear lack of self loathing - for entirely reasonable disagreements on foriegn policy and other politics. Do you trust that vocal minority to not abuse the courts, given half a chance? I don't.
LEt's just ignore the little fact that NSA was caught on spying on EU officials during FTA negotiations... not to mention industrial espionage.

Intelligence sharing has nothing to do with this.
I just gotta say, man I missed the moment when stories went from “I sat on my granddad’s lap listening to the radio” to “I sat on my granddad’s lap playing Microsoft Flight Simulator”.

Where did the past twenty years go...
In short, they are building their own domestic semiconductor industry. China's SMIC poached 3000+ engineers from Taiwan's TSMC (the fabricator for AMD, Nvidia, now Intel). China is putting all of its might behind SMIC and other domestic fabricators.

They really only lack the latest generation of photolithographic machines, which they are trying their hardest to acquire from ASML (Dutch manufacturer of the litho machines used by TSMC and others.) The US managed to block that for now so there is something of a moat while China plays catch-up.
Why do you think wars occur? Political fragmentation.

Ever heard of Pax Romana?
It's substantially different, one is a domestic agent and the other is a hostile foreign state to Europe and EU.

I hope the EU starts banning Twitter, Pornhub, and other American social mediacompanies. Clearly a threat to wellbeing here.
If it’s anything like the DoD does, the reason USB ports and CD drives aren’t physically disabled is because sometimes using authorized devices and media is required to perform your official duties.
International users can still feed censorship classification systems, like with WeChat: https://citizenlab.ca/2020/05/we-chat-they-watch/
I agree with that. In fact it seems like Trump is trying very hard to start a new war before the election.
Maybe they were just afraid to post under their real name because they'd be attacked by jingoistic, hypocritical Americans who think censorship and anti-free-market practices are fine if the US does it but evil if another country does.
Polio RNA Sequence
I figured scale in this case was not the size of people affected but rather the size of the area in which someone could be marked as a bad person. I wouldn't say that size is necessarily global now, but it is at least easy enough to mark someone throughout a nation the size of the U.S
Absolutely. The music industry has a high profile but there's comparatively little money in it. And because music, like all entertaimnent markets, is winner-take-all, most people who work in the music biz scrape by on wages that are dwarfed by the average tech salary.

That's the context in which generally well-off tech folks champion piracy and ridicule musicians who have the audacity to question tech industry exploitation.
During walks, bike trips, etc. Outside, mild intensity, that's perfect for thinking.

Particularly intersting reads take me a long time because I research what I read, I would say that's part of thinking too. (Which for me means; if I'm not looking stuff up while reading, the material isn't really making me think).

Also, while discussing matters with my wife, mother or father. (And nowadays sometimes also my son, kids ask 'weird' questions that make you think as hell.)
Using Augmentative and Alternative Communication with Dogs
But it doesn't make up for the downside, which is installing robust surveillance software on your phone that sends data to and takes orders from China and is subject to their arbitrary control of messaging. You know what else has a super amazing upside that still doesn't make up for the downside? Methamphetamine.
I'm a bit jaded and at the same time not much.

These are all very advanced low level technology subjects (some of which I like a lot btw).

What Wirth said only concerns a few grams of people on earth, the rest will stop using computers just like they stopped using desktops and just stream/talk on smartphones. If you ask most users they'll probably root for whatever electron app they use compared to frugal but powerful programs. For the layman computing will fade and become like roads. And I believe they never really needed nor liked computers, it just was a 20 year period where it was thought to be a technological wonder to have in your home.
Re your last question, I don't think so. It's just an attractive application, hidding neural network weights is valuable in some settings, for instance.
Async await scales well to codebases with millions of lines and thousands of developers. As a result, large companies and ecosystems have mostly adopted async/await and the tooling and runtimes in those languages is now much more mature.
The problem with the battery thing is then Apple can give the appearance that their phones have some speed profile when in reality it’s more complicated, even if the complications are in their sum a calculated benefit to the consumer.

However, I’m not really sure that other companies are contextually more honest to consumers in their advertising, or that such standards in communication even exist for the American marketplace. It’s hard to criticize Apple for the details when the bigger story is their great relationship with customers.
Great point, the US should take the high road and allow the free flow of information regardless of the host of that info (friend or foe)

To give some push back:

Currently the US is in an election year and both the left and right are concerned about foreign interference.

Being said Tik Tok is a Chinese based company and following priority Chinese law. Couldn't they propogate direct election interference under the precived guise of being a US private corporation bc of US public's consumption and get away with it?

A counter point could be made for an actual US corporation doing the same thing, but a nation state doing it would be a different issue entirely.
Why did "triple-double-u" not catch on?
>What "real chaos" has "China" (which is, by the way, nowhere homogenous) seen that we have not seen?

This is ill-informed and easily proven wrong.

I'm no China apologist, but the Chinese have suffered the worst human disasters in history.

Let's go down the list of top 10 anthropogenic disasters by geometric mean death toll and count the causalities in China [1]:

1. 2nd World War estimated 70 million dead, 17.5 million dead in China [2]

2. Three Kingdom War 38 million dead, all Chinese

3. Mongol Conquests 35 million dead and transition from Song to Yuan. Chinese population registers drop from 140 million to 70 million. [3]

4. European Colonization of the Americas 35 million dead, no Chinese dead

5. Taiping Rebellion 35 million dead, all Chinese

6 Red Eyebrows Rebellion 30 million dead, all Chinese

7. Muslim conquest of India 41 million dead, no Chinese

8. Ming Conquest of Yuan 30 million dead, all Chinese

9. Qing conquest of Ming 25 million dead, all Chinese

10. Second Sino-Japanese War 22 million dead, mostly Chinese

and as a bonus:

11. An Lushan Rebellion 21 million dead, all Chinese

Let's count the bodies.

Total dead in 11 conflicts: about 380 million dead

Chinese dead: about 200-220 million dead.

The Chinese are in a whole other ball park in terms of historical suffering. Nothing in American history compares to even a civil war most Americans have never heard of, like the An Lushan rebellion. For perspective, "only" 700,000 American soldiers died in the US Civil War and there were no accounts of civilian casualties of similar magnitude.

> China couldn't even figure out how to make ball point pens until 2017.

China changes very quickly! In 2020 they have 5G technology that blows competitors' pants off. They are sending missions to mars, have more electric cars than any other country, and just yesterday they released a home-grown competitor to GPS.
dict.setdefault doesn’t solve the problem that he’s using the lock for (atomicity is not the problem).
There are so many things I like about this little device:

- The promotional video is funny, it shows all the potential of the device.
- The character is adorable, I really like that angry dolphin (am I a joke to you?).
- The device is clearly inspired in those old 90s-ish electronics.
- It is open source and expansible.

However, it is a bit pricey. Do not get me wrong. Although it could seem like a toy, there is a lot of work behind this tiny device. Congratulations to the team behind the project, from graphical designers that created a wonderful and funny dolphin to developers that created a great device for hacking.
Which platform and version? I run 165Hz displays and the latency is pretty good.
Like Friendster or Myspace, I think the main obstacle was being slightly too early to market.
> Also the next TikTok clone is going to be a massive succes.

Instagram has already come up with Instagram Reels. After India banned TikTok, Instagram released Reels to the Indian market within the week, and I've got to say it's pretty darn similar to tiktok, so essentially just capitalising on their already humongous user base and the ban.

> the US would lose its last bit of moral high ground in China, the spirit of free market and rule by law

The US will continue to shed international credibility so long as we Americans continue to engage and enable mainstream discussion of conspiracy theories and populist applesauce. This Trabant quality excuse of an administration is just a symptom of that.

Honestly, I would not be surprised if the sole reason that this executive order is being banded about is because of TikTok users claiming they helped overinflate turnout expectations for that flameout of a rally in Tulsa.
> The tech giants could buy the whole music industry and it would be a blip on a spreadsheet.

For scale, the global music industry has about $20 billion in annual revenue, Google alone has about 8× that.

I think the claim is that mumble rap dominates this new ecosystem, that this ecosystem is less diverse, and that this ecosystem does not seem to be changing significantly.

I have no idea about Spotify or mumble rap but that's how they might not contradict.
Addiction is a progressive narrowing of what brings you pleasure.

Addicts don’t choose their addiction over happiness, they lose the ability for other things to bring them happiness through desensitization.
It's not only effecting the elderly though. Elderly people are parents and grandparents and have many loving relationships. Their suffering and passing before their time will have devastating effects on many young people.
Well no, it's not that complicated.

To make it as illustrative as possible, your example is like the child of an American goes to work in China and China says, if you want to work, you need to use my shovel.

My example is like the child of a Chinese goes to work in America and America says you need to be adopted.
