It can mean they do, but apparently placebo also works almost just as good.
I'm pretty sure there's distinction between lucid dreaming during REM sleep and something akin to day dreaming while falling in and out of sleep, which some might still call lucid dreaming. I've experienced both. In the latter you won't feel refreshed in the same way (or at all), similar to when stress or alcohol prevents restful sleep. (Stress or alcohol very well may have setup the conditions for the non-REM dreaming.) In the former you feel the same as you normally would.
Well, as the author of the code, you should be able to tell the function what type of variable you expect (string, int, or business entity e.g Book, Bookstore).

That way if you later try to call the function passing an int when it expected a Book, you have an early warning system at compile-time. Not run-time.

“Intel strongly disagrees with today’s jury verdict,” the company said in a statement. “We intend to appeal and are confident that we will prevail.”

Not much of a story if they plan to appeal. The case will potentially go on for years.

Lucidity might not be required. I once solved a math problem in a non-lucid dream, and after waking up I could confirm the solution was correct.
I think you would enjoy reading Claude Shannon's seminal paper on information theory.

What you are proposing is profoundly silly. But to understand why it's profoundly silly is very much worthwhile!

> FLTK was originally designed to be compatible with the Forms Library written for SGI machines. In that library all the functions and structures started with "fl_". This naming was extended to all new methods and widgets in the C++ library, and this prefix was taken as the name of the library. It is almost impossible to search for "FL" on the Internet, due to the fact that it is also the abbreviation for Florida. After much debating and searching for a new name for the toolkit, which was already in use by several people, Bill came up with "FLTK", and even a bogus excuse that it stands for "The Fast Light Tool Kit".

Based on the anecdotes in this thread, I'm getting the impression that when you have a really bad trip, you don't make it back to tell the story in the first person. The only people left to tell are the observers.
A lot of common sense from SoundCloud with this.

Is there a sensible argument why Spotify doesn't go this route? The only one I've heard is that music publishers hold too much power, and shifting more value onto the artists would threaten Spotify's core business by having publishers object to that shift.

Maybe someone from the industry can comment, it just never made sense how the music industry seems to be the slowest to embrace this shift into independence/patronage, while being the ideal industry for it, since it's all about fandom and the personal draw of an artist/band. Or that shift is happening, just not visible to us laypeople?

Pro-protip tip: Add $0 but don't do pattern expansion. Worst case it's just slightly more verbose output. Best case, it's simpler to understand & maintain, and showing the path to your script will help unfamiliar people locate it quicker for debugging. (& I think it looks cleaner)

Also, don't run a command that directly overwrites a file unless you know it's going to succeed. A temp file lets you atomically replace the file only if the download succeeded. And a cleanup trap helps clean this up in the event of errors. Finally, you can die on unset variables or errors (cleanup still works) and you can enable tracing if environment variable DEBUG=1 was set.

#!/usr/bin/env sh
set -eu
[ "${DEBUG:-0}" = "1" ] && set -x

cleanup() { rm -f /usr/local/bin/mybinary.tmp ; } ; trap cleanup EXIT
panic() { printf "$0: Error: %s\n" "$1" >&2; exit 1; }

mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
[ -e /usr/local/bin/mybinary ] || \
wget -q -O /usr/local/bin/mybinary.tmp "$url" \
|| panic "wget was unable to download '$url'"
mv -f /usr/local/bin/mybinary.tmp /usr/local/bin/mybinary

Last year I wrote a couple of similar "local" PDF tools that run in the browser with no network requests. Each is just a single HTML file that will work offline:

- https://shreevatsa.net/pdf-pages/ is for extracting pages, inserting blank pages, duplicating or reversing pages, etc.

- https://shreevatsa.net/pdf-unspread/ is for splitting a PDF's "wide" pages (consisting of two-page spreads) in the middle.

- https://shreevatsa.net/mobius-print/ is the earliest of these, and written for a niche use-case: "Möbius printing" of pages, which is printing out an article/paper two-sided in a really interesting order. (I've tried it and love it.)

These don't use WebAssembly, but just use the excellent "pdf-lib" JS library. To keep the file self-contained, I put the whole minified source into a <script> tag at the bottom of the (otherwise hand-written) HTML file.
Show me what data they have sold and to who.

I don't have access to their reporting systems, and even if I had wouldn't I be breaking the law?

What Google and Facebook along with their ilk do is exactly the same thing:

They collect data about their users. They sell their users' data to the highest bidder in the form of targeted advertising. Directly or not it's still selling users' data.

And don't get me started on what Snowden revealed about these companies as well. And the gall they had to claim they weren't aware they were being used to syphon data to the NSA. But that is, of course, a slightly unrelated matter.

One sentence invalidates the entire study: ”The participants acquired their own psychedelic substances”. Were the drugs tested for potency? Did they contain at all what was claimed?

Not arguing over managed services, although, they are nearly a yaml file away from being made obsolete.

If there is an OSS system that does everything you do, that isn't a big differentiator. As soon as you have any sort of traction, then the second competitor will swoop in, Lyft, Gitlab, Indiegogo.

You need to have defensible differentiation. Otherwise why not just run the OSS system on K8S and sell the service?
California or NYC or Seattle have very significant problems too.

It has a nice UI and is pretty easy to use.
I agree to some extent of course. If there really are meaningful concepts for intermediates or the whole formula, especially if you are applying it to a specific domain, you should name them.

(I also just looked up the equations and noticed the formula I gave was just completely wrong, so please don't implement a kalman filter like that.)
Well that is a little bit different I guess. You probably could do some unapply shenanigans to achieve the same result but that off the top of my head I would not know how to do that.
So is it a speculative investment or is it a currency or is it a groundbreaking technology with uses apart from either?

True. I worked at a company that once hired this former Yahoo engineer when they were hot and he sang the Smurf song often and wrote shit code. All the engineers were happy he was the only dev in his section because he also smelled.

Even with all that, I would still expect him to not make any commit similar to this CTO.
Depends on what "huge" means to you.

Bitcoin is 12 years old now, and it's 320 GB. I could store 2 full copies of it on what's left of my 2TB laptop SSD.

In another 12 years, that is in 2033, it will be 640 GB. I'm pretty sure I'll have more than 2TB in my laptop by then; and I could fit one copy of that future blockchain on my SSD right now.

Or to put it slightly differently, I can fit the whole BTC chain on a $20 USB stick.

Oh wow, Metropoli is still alive? I haven't seen that domain in ages.

I was actually active on the BBS back in the day, years before WWW came on the scene and blew up the internet. Hell, I think my first widely known email address would have been @mpoli.fi one - and, this being in early 1990s, I actually walked over to the owner's house to pay the account creation fee in person.

As far as the tech scene goes, you can probably trace most of the Finnish old guard to that system.
You base that judgment on a single study of N=191 that employs a non-rigorous methodology which does not control for the purity or even existence of a psychedelic substance. What if some of the participants were only able to source fake drugs, e.g. sugar cubes without any LSD in them?
One of the assumptions the authors make in this paper is that miners can turn their hardware on and off quickly, and that they will benefit financially for doing so. Mainly by paying lower electricity bills. It turns out the really big miners don't pay for electricity the same way you or I do. Big miners sign long term contracts for continuous consumption of energy, and don't save any money for turning mining hardware off for a short duration.

I know one of the authors personally and can try to forward on questions for anyone interested, though they have moved on from academic work so may have limited interest or context.
And to a science agency, I don't think their top priority is selecting the best 4k wallpaper for easy download.

I honestly don't mind government sites, they are usually thoroughly boring and very conservative with their design, which means that even old people like my dad can click around and use it. I think that's a good thing.

Damn man. I also heard the same thing. Also, I could have sworn it was mentioned in the audio book I read.
Low-code and General is not compatible.

Low-code is application specific configuration, with some control flow primitives
But the study does not control that there actually were any active psychedelic substances. For all we know, the active group could all have been on a placebo.
Good illustration of why relying exclusively on code being online (external repositories, code on github, hosted code like this) to make a project compile is a bad idea.
> Inflation discourages hoarding. People have incentives to spend.

I'd rather we use a coin that people want more of (deflationary), rather than a coin people want less of (inflationary). There's no inherent reason we want there to be incentives to spend, unless you're some central planner trying to keep the populace invested in society.

It actually matters which proteins are in there. Plants in general, and seitan in particular, are pretty bad in that regard and so much (to most, for seitan) of that protein can’t actually be used by your body unless you find ways to supplement the missing essential amino acids.

Hi HN! Great feedback here, as always.

I can talk about the commit, and I can talk about the article.

We were getting crushed with scaling from 3M to 30M visits a month, and every day was a 16 hour day. The site was falling over on a daily basis, and the performance of the home feed was atrocious. The APM traces were full of loops. The muting and blocking features were incurring tons of additional queries. As I remember it, one night I decided to write a SQL query to replace it. I believe I thought the values were already being sanitized, but I have no problem agreeing that I should've looked into that further and made sure. I'm not a rails dev, and I'm generally negative towards rails and ActiveRecord. I wrote SQL for many years in the past, and as the folks who went through my stackoverflow saw, I am not unaware of the importance of sanitizing user input. I've written much code that properly sanitized user input, in various languages.

It's really easy to imagine that Gab is a large company, considering the breadth of their platform and products, but you'd be shocked and impressed. It's still really early days, like this is only Chapter 2 for us.. we're growing and will keep getting better.

This article is interesting to me for other reasons though: 1. there's been no confirmation this commit was related to anything that has happened. and 2. the person who reached out to Ars with the story, a link to the commit and a quote, is a former co-worker with a personal grudge. I can only imagine the glee with which he wrote that email.

For the last 2 days we were being extorted for nearly half a million dollars. I received a death threat today, first one ever. I think we're doing something important. Go ahead with your code critiques.

Have a great day,

This paper was published when there were big fights going on about whether the block size should be increased. Om camp argued for the status quo, which was causing high transaction fees and long backlogs. The other camp argued for a larger block size, which would reduce or eliminate the transaction backlog. Eliminating the backlog was generally considered a good thing, and the arguments were mostly around the block size, but this paper essentially came in and said "wait a minute, we might actually need the backlog once the block reward is 0."
Why can't Bitcoin simply transition to proof of stake after mining dries up? Once there are few or no bitcoins left to mine then PoW is a lot of ceremony for very little security gain at that point (and perhaps opens up risks that this paper points out).

Just think how secure Bitcoin will be when we have to Dyson sphere the sun to do the "proof of waste". Uh I meant work. But if the work has value you could sell it for on the side, then it reduces costs of attack, so waste as a feature. I like "proof of wait" for inflation rewards better :). The good news is, we can have other socially enforced consensus networks. (As all blockchain consensus is actually social.) So there's hope for real efficiency, it's just not on version 1 of blockchains. Caveat: I'm biased.
Local files like that are fine, just keep them in your .gitignore
The whole economy depends on people spending. If everybody starts to hoard currency, economy will implode. That's why deflation is worse than (light) inflation, from an economic standpoint.
It definitely can and should be denied. Not that it matters, your point is useless anyway.

You're comparing want (saving) and utility (spending). They're contradictory. They have different purposes. A functioning money system needs to have:

(1) A Store of Value

(2) A Medium of Exchange

(3) A Unit of Account.

Bitcoin is mostly a Store of Value. It doesn't have the other 2 functions. We can try to fit all 3 into Bitcoin. The Gold Standard failed to do it. The US Dollar system is failing. Bitcoin will likely fail to do it.
I’ve been doing this lately. Basically I read a lot either programming or just browsing forums etc so I dream about a lot of text almost every night. Lately I’ve got to a point where I see some text (in a dream) and try to read it and it’s gibberish. So when I see this text my mind immediately knows that I’m dreaming and im able to “take control” and walk around the dream land. It isn’t anything special and usually I wake up after a few minutes of walking around in confusing land, but this may be because I’ve only just started. I’m not sure why I’m only now beginning to tell this gibberish text, as I wasn’t intending to lucid dream and until it happened I thought it was a myth.
If you're able to tolerate an arbitrary amount of risk, you can potentially achieve absolutely absurd returns with very little skill. You just need to maximize your portfolio's volatility. Find the most volatile stock you can with an upcoming earnings announcement or other catalyst and invest all your money into it. If you didn't lose all your money, sell everything and invest all your money in another volatile stock with an upcoming catalyst. Rinse and repeat. This is how people win stock competitions.
Commercial energy prices do vary throughout the day though, so if they are signing a single fixed price contract per kWh that would miss the opportunity to run older hardware more profitably during cheaper times.

Besides, I doubt miners are keeping going during triad periods.
How does any of this relate to lifting the mask mandate?

Seems more likely (IMO) that he simply wanted to divert attention away from the miserable grid failures in his state.
Many people start lucid dreaming after simply learning that this is a thing and thinking about it. That’s how it happened to me: I simply started getting ideas in my dreams of the sort “hey, this is really weird, maybe this is the lucid dream thing I read about”.

It happens to me regularly now, probably something on the order of 1-2 times a week. However, I usually wake up rather soon after this realization, especially if I attempt to exercise any control over a dream, which makes it not very exciting, to be honest.
Recently learnt about FAISS & Annoy by Spotify, any comparisons done?
It was actually kind of slow at the time, especially it’s network connection. I agree the UX was a game changer. Big screen and responsive touchscreen made it a joy to use. For me, google maps in my pocket was the killer feature, and it worked well even without GPS.
If we can extrapolate Falcon 9 and Dragon development to Starship, then yes. It took 9 years (2011 finding partners, 2014 final contracts signed, 2020 first astronauts to space) from the concept contract to commercial crew delivery on the F9 with the Crew Dragon.

Falcon 9 took SpaceX from concept (2005) to first integration testing (2008) to first flight (2010). Landing the core went from 'impossible' to small scale tests (2013) to recovery tests and landing of used boosters (2015).

Yes, they're doing all of this, again, all at once. But I dont see a reason why they couldn't pull it off. They've done so once already, and so far, they are on track. Their timer for me starts in 2016 with the unveiling of the BFR. Integration testing & landing validation started in 2019, and sticking a landing (albeit not orbital) is expected any day now (and that I mean literally, there's a test scheduled for today)

Sure. I've also had a couple non-lucid dreams where I've read a longish excerpt of text. (Memorable because of the extraordinary detail, and because it seemed original.) And I've certainly had non-lucid dreams where I've resolved abstract problems in some inarticulable, non-visual manner. And then there's the experience of your subconscious figuring something out and it pops into your conscious mind, which can happen when sleeping or awake.

I've had enough lucid dreams when I was kid to know the difference. These days lucid dreaming for me is rare and not deliberate--i.e. if I have the presence of mind to wake up in a dream, it's mostly by chance, not because I orchestrated it through habituation. It came mostly naturally as a kid, after I stumbled upon a reproducible technique. Adults usually have to practice at it, and I'm just too lazy (and too tired). The vast majority of my dreams now are non-lucid, or quasi-lucid (i.e. I'm not in deep sleep) such that I know it's not like a proper lucid dream. The experiences are quite different.
It never ceases to impress me that we have the ability to do this sort of stuff. A couple thousand years ago, the height of technology was shooting something from a few hundred metres away with a bow and arrow, now we are landing machines on another planet and transmitting data back and forth through the solar system.
