+1. I quit smoking a little over a decade ago, gradually, by winnowing myself down cigarette-by-cigarette. If I smoked six cigarettes a day, for the next two weeks I'd smoke five; by the end of two weeks I'd stop feeling the urge for a sixth. Then I'd move down to four, etc etc, until finally I was down to two and just stopped entirely.

For the first year after stopping regularly smoking, I still felt the urge when drinking, and sometimes would have a cigarette with drinks on the weekend. After two years, I mostly stopped even wanting that.

For many years after, cigarette smoke still smelled good to me, although I had no daily urge for one. But eventually even the positive association with the smell faded, and now I'm back to the original state of thinking cigarettes smell bad.

Nicotine's hooks run deep, but they're not permanent. Stay away long enough and you'll eventually make it back to wondering why anyone smokes in the first place.

I think it's important for people who are addicted to know that quitting is possible — you aren't permanently rewired. And it doesn't have to consume your life.
Would you say it's a feeling of artificial normality? I read once that some schizophrenics smoke as a method of self treatment. I'm not sure how else to understand how a nonsmoker feels all the time. Did you ever feel a high sensation again, or was it just the first few times? I'm not familiar with nicotine as a psychoactive drug. From what I'm gathering in other comments, it seems like a user manifests a habit, say wanting to look cool by smoking, and nicotine reinforces it with punishing withdrawal and a restless calling to said habit.
The flywheel is doing a lot of heavy lifting in an ICE. But sure, Freeman Dyson would agree with "Orion" the case in point.

Gas turbine always excited me as a propulsion unit for trains and cars. Never quite got traction, great shame. Certainly, from Ferranti/Parsons onwards, it has been a stalwart of highly efficient electric generation. Diesel backup has the advantage of speed, but I think most standby power now which can't be done as hydro or battery is gas-turbine, with Diesel as an alternate fuel: not bang-bang-go. I'm talking at scale. Sure, a honda jennie is a good thing to have when the power is out.

OK. I'm kind of there: How about we fire off a classic fission device every 5 years, and power the electricity supply off the heat we soak into the surrounding rocks?

Jokes aside, what is the future power take-off from fusion expected to be? If its not consumption of the neutrons, directly, in some electro-magnetic pathway to usable power, its almost certainly conversion of heat energy into another form.

Not-a-barrier aside Do you think they're -> aiming <- for pulses of that energy? If not, what is the plan?
I would even venture to say the tangibility of precious metal-backed currencies in the 1800's made them still a step above cryptocurrencies currently.

I like how you responded to the questioner. Very respectful and honest, especially regarding pain. I've witnessed the effects myself and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, because the doctors absolutely assume the patient must be making it up.

> All of the typical nerve pain medicines like Amitryptaline, Gaba, Pregabalin, Noortyptaline, etc have responded very poorly in my body and brain.

These things terrify me, not gonna lie.

My mum had a total knee replacement a few years ago that was a partial failure. She ended up with a DVT despite following the exact warfarin regimen they prescribed and avoiding foods with vitamin K for a week or so.

They originally prescribed hydrocodone+tylenol for the pain, but she couldn't take it for long because it would exacerbate her tinnitus. She can't take oxycodone because she vomits almost immediately. So they tried her with tramadol.

To this day, I have no idea if it was the combination of emotional and physical distress, or the tramadol, but within a 24 hour period of her first dose, she ended up in the ER with what would be later diagnosed as transient global amnesia. I've read that can be a rare side effect of the drug, but the practitioners I spoke with suggested that was impossible (and maybe they're right; it was almost certainly coincidental).

That said, I don't trust these medications. Certainly not when my relatives seem to have a strange array of reactions! For her part, she's sworn off ever taking tramadol again, and had me destroy what was left with the water-activated polymer packets they provide. That's how paranoid she was in the immediate aftermath of that "adventure."

I am curious and don't mean to pry: Have you found at least some relief with the Ketamine?
While desktop might need a rethink, the motivation here is... hard to follow.

Just don't share your desktop? Share a single window?

But I'm even more flabbergasted by the idea that mobile, of all places, is a good place to mimic. Have you tried finding documents on your phone? Go on. Give it a spin. It's a disaster area worse than desktop.

It's a good learning opportunity, though - it makes clear that if you really want to fix things, the very first thing you get to tackle is interoperability - because that central air traffic controller you want? That needs access to all the files. That's already tough - commercial interests counteract it - but it also sits at the heart of privacy. If we have excellent interop, we have excellent interop with any and all actors. That includes ones you might not want to have access, unless we succeed at building a good and understandable security model.
True. Old cars has real bumpers though.

> (spoiler: this argument is dead and nobody will ever go back to native apps again)

Oh god, please, no. I don't really understand the disconnect between your love of filesystems and yet disdain for native apps. The exact same arguments apply; can't serve ads locally, don't autoupdate (a feature! they rot slower), can access any time, don't need a network.

Why would you want a webapp? Because it has flashier animations and SVG? There's a long conversation to be had about this, but the summary is no, no, god no, please give me back my native applications with drop-down menus and boring file picker dialogs. As long as they have decent keyboard shortcuts, I'll manage.

It's about social rituals. If you can create one of those with the people around you without addictive substances, more power to you! But coffee and cigarettes: they come with prexisting societal level rituals out of the box, so to speak.

I like the premise, mostly because it takes off the pressure. Just write what you think, and your contemporaries will find you!
Familiarize yourself with the basics of welfare state economics before engaging further. Norway isn't the only Nordic. All of the Nordics fund their welfare state with generally high levels of redistributive taxation, it's not oil-specific. Limited withdrawals are made from Norway's large SWF and it funds very little of their welfare state.

And of course, there is nothing unique about oil as a form of capital. Many forms of capital exist, all of which generate income that can be used for similar purposes.
I'm intrigued by this example. What's an example of a domain or problem set that produces a function with 100 input parameters and a boolean result that can't be broken down cleanly?
If you’re old and hang out on HN you probably like IRC?

The benefit of discord is probably that it is extremely easy to join, and it seems like they have easy access to mod tools and bots and whatnot.
There's lots of communities on the internet. People who do DIY home improvements, gamers, programmers and countless more. Similarly there are people who want to study or be productive. Of course their network spans across platforms, just like any other passion people may have. Giving this phenomena a specific name - "Study Web" makes it seem like it's something well established or institutionalized. Which is just not true. The subtitle of the article "Exploring Gen Z’s Ambitious and Anxiety-Fuelled Pursuit of
Straight A’s Across YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and Twitter" does a much better job of describing the article for what it is. What's next? DIY Web, Music Web, Cat Pictures Web.
You can only search a log for the time that you were logged in and saving it. You can search the entire history of many Slack channels from the very first message posted in it onwards, even before you'd ever joined it. That's a significant advantage over a local file.

I'm not particularly keen on Slack but suggesting search would be better locally is plain silly. Search is obviously better done at the server.
From reading the article, it sounds like NVMe-oF exposes a drive directly to a network, but I don’t really get how that works. Does the drive still get connected to a host? How does this compare to other technologies for having networked storage, like NFS?
Here comes another knockdown punch for Intel.

Now they got a solution to add hundreds of megs of cache for cheap.

More importantly SRAM can be binned/tested/KGDed separately!

And it can be fabbed on its own customised process!

And also, they can throw in an eDRAM there instead on a moment notice.

And as they already have silicon interposer here, adding HBM2/3 will be also a triffle.
The xiaomi phones still have IR blasters. I can see the appeal of the photos on the sevenhugs website. But it's kind of an ambitious niche product. Looks like something that's not really sustainable by itself without acquisition.

I feel like there's really only a few ways to handle this. Buy devices from the same vendor. Buy devices with another value proposition such as Amazon Alexa. A universal standard with industry backing, but those also usually end up with bigger enterprises putting a lot of unusable stuff in the standard. Or treat it as non standardized and put an IR blaster on top, but then why do I need a physical remote. (I realize the spotify thing looks quite beautiful)
" I think at that scale you start to care about things like uptime and maintenance."

I guess none of members of your mentioned groups will ever grow to care about a scale. And thats a good thing because they are distributed. And i think it creates a better internet, which is kind of wide network instead of shallow graph of couple mega nodes.
Did they actually fuse anything, or was this just a test with a non-fusing plasma?
The hidden state isn't storing the samples of your loop (or a compressed version of your loop). It's encoding a representation of how the output will change based on what the current state and input are. This might be strongly dependent on what the exact samples in the loop are, but it could also be more general. I think it's missing a bit of the representational power of an LSTM to see the state representation as just a buffer of the current input.

But, yeah, at some point your signal has such a complex behavior on long time scales that there isn't a good way to predict it based on a limited state size (or at least gradient descent can't find a function to predict it for you).
Throw it in the trashcan.
Even if such a thing existed, absolutely not.
that is a sad looking street
I think GP meant don't worry about an excess of sodium.

I do feel kind of bloaty when I eat wretched excesses of sodium all at once, usually ramen, but it passes.

Generally eat a high salt diet, add other minerals (mostly potassium) to drinking water, and take magnesium glycinate before bed. Minerals are easy to eliminate and if I'm not getting enough there's no alternative.

Got a Heathkit digital thermometer kit for xmas when I was a young teen. Soldered for hours that day - so much so that I was soldering in my dreams that night. Kit worked on the first try and we used it for years. Great fun and great practice soldering.

Dad build a Heathkit electronic ignition (Capacitive Discharge Ignition CP-1060) for our car which worked flawlessly as long as we owned it. This was back '72 when you had to change the points and plugs regularly on most cars because they wore out. Clearly this kind of ignition was the wave of the future!
I can totally understand that. I would just suggest to reconsider coffee/tea drinking in that regard (or whatever drink might serve as a substitute).

Already when studying/researching at Uni having a cup of coffee together did serve as such a communal break, catching up, etc. When I did an abroad term in Canada what hit me by surprise is that people would get take-away coffee and would ONLY drink it at their desks browsing Facebook. As a European it didn't take me long to find a Dutch guy who had the same feeling about joint coffee breaks and we became buddies.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the above—assuming that you are your own client. If you have the knowledge and can weigh the pros and cons for yourself, go for it. I was more thinking about a scenario where you're acting as the systems administrator for someone else who's not so technical.

If you were in charge of maintaining George R.R. Martin's WordStar workstation, at the very minimum I doubt you'd feel comfortable having it using a period-correct Quantum Fireball or IBM DeskStar...

> That's good advice in any vehicle :)

I wish it was advice. Unfortunately it's not, it's a warning. You can do everything right and still be the victim of someone else's bad luck or bad life choices. Whether it's an oncoming car or getting T-boned at an intersection, the risk of a serious crash exists no matter how good of a driver you are.

The difference between a car made in 2015 and a car made in 1980 can easily be as dramatic as walking out with superficial injuries—or certain death. The newer car will help you to wash off more speed prior to impact, it will absorb more of the crash energy in its chassis before it gets transferred to your body, and it will deploy precisely timed airbags in concert with a seatbelt pretensioner, all to ensure that the internal organs inside your body decelerate as gently as possible.

I love classic cars in the abstract, but I'd never drive one.
Germans know very well, that Schröder was corrupt. They still support the Energiewende. But Trump bullying Germany to stop buying Russian gas, so the US can sell its more expensive fracking gas to Europe isn't a perfect signal of sincerity either.

I suspect Tim is criticizing a graphic which does not mean what he thinks it means. Somehow some people refer to the same thing ("testing a component") as unit tests, while other consider it integration because it's made of multiple smaller functions/objects.

The end result of this divergence is that the test pyramid has become a test hexagon because people slice it at arbitrary points, not because they concretely advocate testing different things.
If cheap energy from fusion becomes reality, it would open up many possibilities, including carbon capture techniques that are currently impractical.
Yeah its really important that athletes answer the interesting questions like "You are often compared to the Williams sisters. Maybe it’s because you’re Black.

Volunteering your time to mentor people can be very rewarding in its own right though. But the fact that people are paying for it probably killed that aspect of it too. The cost of the service should have been a red flag from the start.

It's the same as if you provide technical services at cost, say just asking the same hourly rate as your day job in hopes it will lead to something when they can afford more. Since they are paying, they will presume that is the market value for what they are getting and treat it as a price ceiling, making it far less likely the relationship will lead to something bigger.
It's a pity they didn't put in any fish ladders, or perhaps that's too big of an ask on a major Dam project.

Anyone here with Dam experience wish to comment?
It comes to mind to ask why Apple didn't seem to do any binning of their cpus, e.g. use a cpu capable of higher turbo frequency in the pro.
Addiction rates are lower than people think; heroin, even, is lower than you'd assume (the rate I remember seeing was about 25%, in-line with nicotine).

Of course, 1/4 is still a HUGE amount of people, and an absolute health crisis.
Going over TSV will definitely incur at least one clock cycle.
I smoke 3 to 5 cigarettes a day. A smoke to coffee, on the balcony while gazing at the sun, after a decent meal.

Extremely filthy behavior on the CCP's part, though not unexpected. Governments should step up their effort to stand up against their bullying and atrocities.
Human labor is a product too, in this context. Credentialing is a consequence of people having to make decisions with limited resources. There is no reality where it will not exist, in some form or another. It existed before Google/Apple/Facebook, and it will exist after as long as it is advantageous to try and filter what you are buying.
You seem really fixated on Plan 9. I merely used it as an example to show how even ultra-niche operating systems have support, demonstrating how adding a target need not be a monumental task.

Other operating systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, OpenBSD, and DragonflyBSD also exist. FreeBSD is quite relevant and NetBSD and OpenBSD fill almost-empty yet significant niches.
Pray tell, in what way are bitcoin, or ether for example, or several other major currencies without central control scams as designed? Or hell, even dogecoin, whose creator explicitly, openly created as a joke, without ever having control of its later price rises. I know this site is militantly anti-cryptocurrency much of the time but some of these comments like yours just delve into the idiotically, crudely simplistic in their dismissiveness.
Yes, it would certainly be slower than an on-die cache, but very cheap.

They can seriously reduce the L3 cache area, which is like 50% of the die currently, or get rid of it alltogether.

Imagine, 2 times more dies per wafer at near no cost except for extra packaging.
FWIW, on NixOS, you can use buildEnv in a .nix file to have your user environment be completely declarative. I discovered this before I discovered home-manager and it's still what I use.

Chinese restaurants in the US are notorious for using excess salt and sweeteners.

Though to be fair it's a form of arms race, most US restaurants overdo it if the regional palette has become desensitized. It's not strictly a Chinese restaurant issue.

But many Chinese dishes on the menus are defined by their sweet and salty axis, and being in this environment they're pushed to the extreme.
Also didn't they just hire one of FB's former ad execs to head up their ads effort?
Bring everyone down to the level of the lowest doesn't sound like a great plan for education imo. Pushing everyone to the highest level they can achieve would be my ideal. Not everyone will end up the same but everyone will be the best they can be.

> it sounds like NVMe-oF exposes a drive directly to a network

The drive is connected to a storage device. Storage is exposed by the device to network. Exposed storage and the drive do not correspond 1to1 (redundancy, etc.)
It still needs to be connected to a host. This is an alternative to iSCSI. Instead of using the SCSI protocol, it uses the NVMe protocol.
Hmm. The Linux statement for UE4 just says “use latest stable” [1] (which is why I always just download the .run file and install “by hand”).

But your driver was released in April. While there are a lot of serious-ish sounding issues fixed in the 460.80 series [2], I sort of doubt UE hardcoded that. Then again, UE now relies entirely on Vulkan and it feels like every NV driver release has fixed at least one major Vulkan bug, so maybe since they just released it they are asking folks to use 460.80+?

Regardless of the design, in practice this is purely "crabs in a bucket" mentality. Achievement disproportionately occurs from those in the advanced or gifted range. In a petty quest for so called equity, we tear down the competent among us and society suffers as competence across the board is eroded.

Well it would be the U.S. Navy, but not quite. First, how do you even locate the carrier groups? Let’s say you do get lucky and find them. Ok. Now let’s say you launch missiles - ok the carrier group can move and also shoot down missiles. Oh and once you do launch those missiles you’ve committed to a big time war, and you’re open to counter-attack by American forces - not just the carriers but also land-based strike forces.

It’s not like the United States is sitting around saying well jeez I guess China built these missiles and we can’t do anything.
Kind of - but that would just eliminate everyone from projecting power except the United States, who has basis in places like Guam, Germany, Japan, etc.
