If you want to have a modern day bare metal experience, playing with microcontrollers is probably your best bet. Buying a board and attaching it to a PC for development has never been easier. Device drivers are usually rather thin wrappers over memory mapped IO. A simple scheduler for multithreading isn't that hard to write and those in FreeRTOS or ThreadX are quite readable despite their production quality feature sets.

However, moving up from there to more powerful systems adds more and more (mostly necessary) complexity: address space isolation for robust multitasking, more complicated busses and attached devices, more asynchonous operations, etc. There is no way to have both true simplicity and the comfort / performance of a modern personal computer.

I'm a bit numb after seeing so many obituaries about people who have died due to drugs, including people I knew personally.

This news comes shortly after the Sackler family finally got away with defacto mass murder.

At this point, it is pure speculation, but I wonder if this is also yet another case where the product was laced with fentanyl.
last year alone they counted ~100.000 drug related deaths in the US. it's madness. Fentanyl is wiping out entire rural communities.

I don't have an answer for how to stop this or at least slow it down, there are just too many factors at play, including floods of cheap fentanyl smuggled into the country from china.
Literally explains it when reporting. This should not be news or new. Just try reporting a message right now.
this paragraph just touches the surface of the diagnosis:

“ The department’s budget for intelligence and counterterrorism has more than quadrupled, spending more than $3 billion since 2006, and more through funding streams that are difficult to quantify, including federal grants and the secretive Police Foundation, a nonprofit that funnels money and equipment to the department from benefactors and donors.”
Wouldn't this be a good economic incentive to buy more locally? Since it sounds like currently shipping costs via trucking are ignoring this externality.
You are confusing the fabled and undefined Long Covid that depending on what you want to argue can be made out to encompass just about anything, and the specific issue of lung damage this article is about.

Talking about narrowly defined specific things is scientific. Musing about something that has no useful definition and drawing conclusions from that is pseudoscience.

> 'the effects, be they some or none of X'

Whether there are effects or not and what they are is science. But not defining the effects and then stating they appear in half of the cases is useless and not science.

Just to keep it practical, people say ‘I know this one guy and he got covid and it was terrible for a long time’. So that’s the image that’s conjured up for Long Covid. And then on the other side there’s what you describe, Long Covid is just any complaint people have after contracting covid, from lung damage to occasional slight headaches, you know, the things that are in the list of side effects for every type of medicine on the planet. Next is the claim that a large amount of people get these extremely slight side effects.

Now because there is no scientifically useful definition of Long Covid, this large amount of people that get slight side effects is confused with the original image of the terrible Long Covid. Ultimately it seems like a very large proportion of the people that get covid will develop debilitating lung problems. But the reality is that that is just not the case because a very large amount of people have already been infected and while yes there are a lot of people with serious problems, they are still a small minority.

It does fit the narrative quite nicely of scaring a lot of people into taking the vaccinations, wearing the masks, whatever measure you want to sell. But it’s not science and in the long run it just devalues real science and fosters skepticism and conspiracy theories. Because ultimately everyone can just clearly see that not half of the people they know has developed these terrible symptoms.
I wonder if Business Insider was paid by Facebook to report a news so absolutely obvious and benign, and package it as if it was part of the serious privacy requests formulated by the public and security/privacy NGOs, in order to discredit those.

Thanks, the number of combinations can be very large, it really depends on what you are expecting.
trait type is picked on random so there will be outputs which are similar and then there will be some which are extremely rare.
I generated quite a few and then picked some which I liked the most to showcase on opensea.

You can also use rarity flag 'r' or 'u' to give some traits much less of a chance to appear.
I think you're grasping the wrong end of the stick.

If someone reports you, they (the people receiving the report) will be able to read the messages. This is the same if you use iMessage, Signal or any other system. (ie you take your phone to the police and show them the messages, they will see your messages, obviously.)

The key difference is that facebook has a button to report the message to them.
It's interesting that you cite that Plomin article, since it actually concludes that only a small proportion of intelligence is genetically inherited. To quote:

>Using years of education rather than intelligence per se, the meta-analysis mentioned earlier with 125 000 individuals in a discovery sample yielded a GPS that accounted for 2 and 3% in two independent samples.16 More variance in intelligence is likely to be explained with GPS derived from larger samples, whole-genome sequencing and more novel strategies such as using networks of functionally linked genes.

Accounting for 2-3% of variance in intelligence through genetics is pretty weak support for genetics being an important contributor to variation in intelligence (however measured).

The denialism here lies with those who wish to believe that intelligence is largely genetically determined, rather than socially and environmentally determined.

The High Court decision [1] is a very worthwhile read, with multiple viewpoints presented by the different justices and numerous references to and analysis of relevant cases dating back as far as the early 1900's. It also refers to related recent cases involving defamation and social media.

For this particular case, the decision was originally made by the NSW Supreme Court on 24 June 2019, reaffirmed at the NSW Court of Appeals on 1 June 2020 and again reaffirmed by the High Court of Australia on 8 September 2021.

Your comment conflates two meanings of the word "minority". The first meaning relates to a group with a shared inherent property, such as race, and is irrelevant here. The second meaning, which I used, simply means a small number of people.

It's not an invisible virus. With the right tools we can see and track it. Up until the recent delta outbreak, COVID was being accurately tracked and contained in Australia, with the source of almost all transmissions known. Under these conditions, quarantine is pragmatic, not abstract.

The CO2 capture capacity of olivine is well understood. You just need to get enough of it out there, wet, stirred, and exposed to air or surface water, i.e. on beaches. It will take many millions of tons, but we have that, or access to it.

Of course it would do little good if we continued pumping CO2 into the atmosphere at an increasing rate at the same time.

Getting the SF6 out of the atmosphere is a tougher nut. The present load already accounts for 10% of forcing. There are current efforts to phase out its use, and suck it out of the equipment it is used in.

The HFCs in current use, if all vented, would have as strong an effect as all the CO2 currently in the atmosphere. Collecting it all up and destroying it is a huge responsibility. Probably most that is in cars, window A/C units, and refrigerators will end up vented.

ROLI: Documents of a Misadventure
> The problem lay in the reason the error spread, which happens to be the same reason underlying innumerable other media shipwrecks in the last five years. These include everything from wrong reports of Russians hacking a Vermont energy grid, to tales of Michael Cohen in Prague, to the pee tape, to Julie Swetnick’s rape accusation, to the Covington high school fiasco, to Russian oligarchs co-signing a Deutsche Bank loan application for Donald Trump, to Bountygate, to the “mass hysterectomies” story, and dozens beyond: the media business has become a machine for generating error-ridden moral panics.

This is a predictable result of combining declining profitability of media companies, cut-throat competition in the industry, and the political orientation of your average national media reporter. No big conspiracy—just harried people working under lowered standards confirming their priors and manifesting their personal biases.

I wonder how much of the resentment is driven by elite overproduction—I.e. people who got a college degree and think that should lead to some particular standard of living, but who are faced with writing clickbait articles by the word on a freelance basis. Then put those people in NYC or SF, where all the money and social status goes to Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

An odd definition of unprofessional. Building and testing a site for running without JS is a non-zero cost. But I've never seen usage stats that show that demographic above 1.5% of the browser market share – and those are old stats. It was sub 0.5% for the sites that I ran at the time (2018).

But, yes, a laptop can do pretty much everything Paperterm can do. A laptop can do everything a Kindle can do. A laptop can do a huge percent of what your phone can do. If the advantages of this niche device (e.g., sunlight-readable display with no backlight/blue-light, it's insane battery life, a no-compromise keyboard, and it's always-ready-"never-off" state) doesn't appeal to you, then you're right, you're probably just not in the target demographic. Those in the target market find a lot to love in such specs. This is explicitly a niche product, not trying to be everything for everyone (which is closer to what a laptop does).

It's not people quarantining because they have the virus, it's related to the mandatory quarantine for international arrivals. Previously you needed to complete 2-weeks of hotel quarantine when you arrived in Australia. This new compromise allows people an option to complete that quarantine period from their own home instead. It's part of a move to increase overseas arrivals while minimising transmission.

I didn't say anything about the app. My comment was about the choice between app and being sent to a facility, about how that isn't much of a choice. I would make the same comment if the "choice" was between a facility and a vaccine, or a drug, or counseling sessions, or paying a fine. Nearly anything is better than being sent to a camp and so any such binary alternative isn't much of a real choice.

I honestly am tired of the idea of a store of value.

99% of the time people talk about some sort of commodity (gold) or pseudo commodity (Bitcoin).

1% of the time they talk about bonds and fiat that is backed by bonds (via government or banks).

The idea of storing value in a non degrading commodity is a fallacy. Gold is special because it doesn't degrade. Yet when you sell grain to buy gold there is no guarantee that you can buy grain in the future. Why? Because unconsumed grains simply rot away. So when you decided to save for your retirement by piling up gold you simply assumed that the pile of grains is still there, hoping that someone else started farming and maintained the pile for you. There is a mismatch between the supply of gold and grains.

The debt system is slightly better. There is now an obligation to deliver a pile of grains. There is a different problem though. People are obligated to work, but you get to choose when. The problem you run into isn't whether the pile of grains is still there because that part is guaranteed, the next problem is whether there are enough workers to start farming. There is a mismatch between the supply of fiat and labor.

When you consider this, then the reason why our pension systems are unsustainable is simply because we let the "good" years of population growth take care of the problem for us. The thought of planning 50 years ahead never occurred to us.

The moral of the story is that storing value is more complex than putting your dollars somewhere. The dollars are only worth something because there is a big machine (our society) that is running the economy, yet we believe we can isolate ourselves from that machine when it is failing. Financial independence really is just a different form of dependence.
> If you ask the vast majority of Americans how many centimeters are in a foot, you'll get blank stares. If you ask them how long 30 centimeters are you'll get blank stares.

The conventions of dealing mainly in centimeters and meters when discussing dimensions of human scale items could use fixing.

A simple solution is to promulgate the use of the "metric hand" (or just "hand" for short). 1 hand = 1 decimeter = 10 centimeters; about the width of a human hand. The decimeter has the nice property that it's approximately 4 inches, so there are roughly 3 hands in a foot—similar conversion conversion factor as going from feet to yards. Nice! Error accumulates at only 1.6mm (exactly 1.6mm) per hand.

(Equestrian sports already has a "hand" unit. Conveniently, it's defined as 4 inches, and its use is pretty much confined to those circles. There's not much need to distinguish between the two, therefore, but if ever a need arises, we can clarify whether we're talking about "metric hands" or "horse hands".)

In order for this to happen employers would have to commit to some kind of manifesto. So what would be on yours?

- A status system whereby people can change their current status to deep work and therefore not be bothered?

> Covid Syndrome seems the obvious choice really.

Covid Syndrome on one hand would be great because a syndrome specifically means a set of symptoms appearing. So that would by definition at least require an agreed upon list of conditions that comprise it.

On the other hand it would not be great because it doesn’t specify the cause so Covid would be a specific virus, but Covid Syndrome would just be a bunch of conditions that are not necessarily related to that virus. People get shortness of breath all the time.
