This is really useful, thank you (and the same to recommendations in sibling comments). I enjoy Matt Levine’s blog and feel like I follow what he’s writing about, though it’s been very crypto-heavy lately so maybe due to that. I don’t think I’ve worked before in an area with so many conventions and multiple meanings.

(Also if you ever have to expand on the technical layer, I’d be very interested.)
There are a lot of complaints about the buds not charging in the case, most likely due to not making full contact with the charging pins. The buds have no auto-sleep feature for some reason, so they'll stay connected until the battery runs out.

Not only is this annoying, it also adds tons of unnecessary full discharge cycles.

The new wireless charging cases are also bad - they seem to stay warm even when no longer charging, which probably degrades the batteries as well.
One problem with open access is that the cost is prohibitively high. It can range from $2500 in decent peer-reviewed journals to $10,000+ in Nature. Recently we decided not to pay for open-access for one of our articles (as we already had the preprint out). One solution could be that the funding agencies take care of the fees.. because I can't see publishers charging less for it.
Materialist and emergentist are both types of physicalist, so a materialists is already a physicalist, just missing some of the pieces.

It's really unfortunate that holism in general has attracted the likes of woo-peddlers and magical thinkers because it discredits the core idea. My perspective on reductionism (and by implication, materialism) versus holism is that reductionism tends to focus on the smallest pieces rather than appropriately scaling up and down the ladder of abstraction depending on what level you are operating on.

So for example, when looking at behaviour you want to deter (crime, environmental damage etc) a reductive approach would be to just attempt to counter the individual's behaviour with punishment (ie, making such behaviour illegal). The holistic view would be to examine not just the behaviour of the individual but the incentives and structures that drive said behaviour and try to fix that, because without removing the incentive the behaviour will not be truly removed.

I believe that reality is organise from the bottom-up, so there's nothing being added at the higher levels that is apart from physical reality. But the thing that reductionism typically misses out on is that reality is made of material _and relationships_ and when you take the material apart into the smaller parts, you break said relationships and much of the picture. The reductive approach to understanding reality is to do exactly that, to take things apart to understand them, but many things stop working when you remove the individual part from its environment, and thus in those scenarios you need to understand the whole picture. So often I see people trying to address a problem that manifests at point A (say, a particular component of a software system) by fixing it at point A, where the correct fix is actually elsewhere. It was running into this pattern over and over in my software engineering work that made me discover systems theory in the first place but I see the same mistake all over the place.
One thing - software engineering is harder to measure than hardware. Have a new wing design ? Amazing strength at low weight - you can actually test your design and measure if it’s better.

Nintendo also tends to be pretty conservative when selecting technology for new products (Gunpei Yokoi's "lateral thinking with withered technology"[1]). It's entirely possible that the similarities between the NES and SNES are that they wanted to avoid any needless innovation -- keeps costs down, makes sourcing parts easier, you already have a lot of expertise in at least some of the hardware you're using, and your developers don't need to relearn as much.

Nintendo stuck with pretty similar PowerPC chips for three generations while Sony went MIPS->PowerPC->x86. And when they finally switched off of PowerPC, they went to ARM, which they'd been using for handheld systems for two decades.

See "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman". Feynman was convinced by Dr. Timothy Leary, in the 1960s, to try LSD. Feynman then thought he'd solved some problem he was working on. But when he went to give a talk on the problem, he realized that he had not solved the problem. He had only hallucinated that he had solved the problem. After which Feynman didn't try LSD again. "I like to think. I don't want to break the machine", he wrote.

In far manager (freeware, open source) and total commander (commercial, not too expensive, trial available), numpad `+` key open “expand selection” popup, where you can type “utr-77.csv”, and it will select just these files.

Unlike the command line, you can inspect what had been selected before moving these files. You can also use insert/numpad +/numpad - keys to modify the set of files going to be moved/copied/deleted/zipped/etc.

Most file systems and file managers don’t have undo support. It can be important to review what going to happen before actually moving any files.
You misread me, my case was joy * time / embodied energy.

How else should we justify the use of energy except through such means? Subjectively I mean, I wouldn't suggest actually quantifying it.

I don't burn energy in the winter because I like to spend money, I do it because there's an interior temperature below which I'm miserable. Once I've achieved that homeostasis, the only think left to me is to do it with as little energy as possible.

Not to invoke Godwin’s rule, but this scenario seems a bit too far off from acceptable for “that’s now how I remember things going down” to just let it slide, blaming someone else with a clearly different storyline in a fundamental sense seems a lot more deliberate on the persons part. Just because you didn’t care enough about he involved subjects to walk away from a podcast doesn’t mean the truth can just be twisted any way?

Also is it possible to walk away from a podcast offended at all? The explosion of this medium and the way everyone seems to consume it suggests you can’t afford to emotionally involve with what you’re listening to anymore.

My point was to defend ADSSDA's post against deeviant's claims.

Personally, I would like light EVs.
The article has this very nice example here:

x.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed);
y.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed);
x.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed);
y.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed);

Can a different thread observe x and y only incremented once? Before the optimization yes, it's possible. After the optimization, no, it's not possible. The compiler removes a possible observable state in the course of optimization, and that occasionally surprises people.
I don't think the data backs your claim. Sure, maybe in the 2000s after the internet began to dent its model it became a hotel paper, but in its heyday (the 80s and 90s) it was very popular option from newsstands (I'm old enough to remember dropping 50 cents for a copy).

It's also not like you'd have to have a separate server/vserver for every such project, a very affordable vserver will run quite a lot of nginx containers.

This is absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing.
Interesting story, but as always it’s important to consider the source. These results shouldn’t be interpreted as typical or average. 5-MeO-DMT isn’t extraordinarily rare or hard to obtain, but stories of people turning their entire lives and psychology around for the better after a single dose aren’t common.

Even the subject recommends against self experimentation, owing much of his outcome to the overall experience and ritual itself. He suggests he was skeptical, but skeptics don’t get on an airplane and travel to a destination to consume psychedelics under the guise of self-healing. The placebo effect plays a strong role in many of these outcomes, with the jarring experience of taking a psychedelic and having reality dissolve act as a sort of super-place that signals that whatever experience was had was noteworthy in a supernatural way.

That sort of super-placebo effect doesn’t only amplify positive thoughts, though. Any psychedelic guide will emphasize “set and setting” as important because it’s well-known that a negative set and setting can trigger a harmful trip which can exacerbate pre-existing anxieties and negative ideas rather than making them disappear as this single anecdote would suggest. More realistically, “set and setting” had become a code phrase for post-rationalizing bad trips as being the fault of the user, not the drug, as relatively little guidance is provided about what constitutes proper set and setting. Instead, negative trips are hand-waved away as problems with “set and setting” as a way to vindicate the drug itself.

In more typical real-world experiences, life changing results like this aren’t typical. Some users report a sort of afterglow effect, but it often fades in a matter of days or weeks. This leaves some of those users chasing additional doses or wondering what they’ve done wrong. On the other end of the spectrum, psychedelic experiences can and do trigger long lasting negative affect, or even unmask latent mental illness. Again, it’s not uncommon for these to be hand-waved away as pre-existing underlying conditions or improper set and setting, but it’s important to know that negative outcomes or exacerbations of mental illness are a very real possibility.

Psychedelics are an interesting research topic, but we need to be honest and realistic that these aren’t hidden miracle cures that will wipe away anxiety and change everyone’s lives for the better after just one dose.

> Each time the occupiers have sought to reshape Afghan society from the bottom up into something resembling a modern western character.

You underestimate the degree to which countries like Afghanistan or Iran were already "westernized". Cities like Kabul or Teheran weren't that different from Istanbul. The Islamists that you seem to conflate with "Afghan society" are a modern phenomenon.

It's true that many have tried (and failed) to deal with this problem. The only ones who have succeeded unfortunately tend to be cold-blooded strongmen like Hafez/Basher al-Assad, Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Broader civil society is not equipped to deal with it. The mission objective was to change this. Despite the failure, it was a noble objective.

You speak from your position within a privileged society wherein religious extremism is a thing of the distant past. Imagine for a moment that your military didn't exist and that armed evangelicals chose to ride into every major city to defend some of their "values". How exactly would you defend yourself and your (lack of) values? I suspect you would react by keeping your head down and hoping for better times.

> A company which only hires junior developers is not a company that values quality development practices and it cannot expect to get stuff done on time

I wish this wasn't such a common trope among the VC, FAANG, or Fortune 500 crowd.

Believe it or not, there exist a million small businesses who don't enjoy the luxury of burning OPM, who can't afford $200k developer salaries, no matter how much they want to.

In one sense, you're ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. But here in the real world, in flyover country, revenue will always constrain resources. Those of us running small, stable businesses are forced to make tradeoffs that FAANGs or cash-burning VC-funded operations don't have to.

That said, yes, the people in this story seem to be the gambling, poor-management types and the OP shouldn't worry overly about losing this "opportunity".

Compilers are sane and written by very smart people. They do have bugs just like any other software. In my 20+ yrs of coding, I can count the number of bugs I've encountered on one hand.

memset tend to be optimized out in the dead code elimination pass and highly relies on SSA. Compilers adhere to the abstract machine specs. If you want memset not to be optimized out then use memset_s because the spec explicitly doesn't allow that.

if an optimization relies on a UB and surprised the programmer then the programmer was also relying on a UB in the first place.
In fairness, the string doesn't seem insaneo: T:=Type S:=SSID P:=Password then only the leading and trailing chars need to be "remembered", plus whatever the escape character is for that password string (or maybe even the SSID -- I'm not super clear on what characters can be in an SSID)

IMO, we draw the line based on effectiveness, not idealized morality. What's going to be easier: a never-ending campaign of trying to educate and motivate millions of different average Joes to properly recycle [some item], or simply legally preventing those items from being created by a few centralized sources (or requiring them to take responsibility in some other way)?

Same thing with with 2008 sub-prime mortgage crisis. A lot of people will say "well they shouldn't have taken those loans." Yes, true, but it would have been much easier if they were never allowed to be offered in the first place. Some people are against the "save the people from themselves" mentality, but it really seems to be a lot more effective and there's not a strong argument for allowing practices that are likely to result in average Joes taking deleterious actions.
Because currently, psychadelics as a treatment for mental illness and neuroses are on about as firm of ground as cough medicine and chiropractic.

That is not to say we don't definitively know they do not work. We just dont know if they do anything or not. There is promising preliminary research but a lot of that research is coming out of a community that appears prone to some serious motivated reasoning. And there is a small cultural movement brewing that seeks to promote them despite our current ignorance. Proponents have made a mad dash to dump them into alt med toolbox to sit alongside acupuncture, cupping, ear candling, essential oils, etc.

Edit: Don't get me wrong. I really hope these do work as the current standards of care for most mental illness are terribly flawed. Lithium for example is amazing but it has horrible side effects, destroys your organs and for many eventually stops working. Abilify has saved a lot of people's lives but when you're on it, a lot of times you just fucking want to die. It would be great to move beyond SSRIs, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics.

Yes. Real engineers are responsible for life and death decisions in their designs. Software developers for the most part are not, and where they are, you don't see fads you see them using very long-proven and careful approaches.
Open access should be the yesterday. I don't mind if they have to charge $2000 for a paper (but not $5000 to open the paper one year later), but publishers should be forced to open up all existing papers to open access as well . But it is not happening largely because academia is stuck in the chicken-and-egg situation where open access cannot become prestigious while people keep publishing in prestigious journals, and academics have not been able to replace journal prestige with something better

>I mean, what is the price of ram these days?

It's probably more of a bandwidth issue than a memory issue. USB 2.0 runs at 480 Mbit/s, so if the oscilloscope can decode that, it would have to be able to output/store at least that much in terms of bandwidth. A USB keyboard would never hit that type of bandwidth, but presumably a buyer of such expensive oscilloscope would expect the feature to work every time, rather than only in best case scenarios.

>And note that (since it's a digital signal) you don't have to sample evenly; you can also record the timepoints of the edges.

Depending on the signal characteristics this can actually be worse. eg. if it switches very rapidly you'd probably be better off storing the reading as PCM or something, because the timestamps (which are presumably nanosecond level) would take more space to record than the raw sample reading (a few bits at most).
