Oh. I assumed they performed better by now.

So basically getting a artificial heart as a replacement right now, means taking part in developing science and medicine, but not really realistically with any hopes of living on.

>MQTT is becoming the defacto interface for home automation.

The problem I have with MQTT is also a feature. The payload format isn’t defined, there is no request response structure, encryption of payload requires custom encapsulation, etc. You are on your own for everything.

This is made better in MQTT v5, but AWS still doesn’t support that.

If I was starting over today, I really like OSCORE and CoAP derivatives for their completeness.
Nice post. I liked this take away. "Users say things for a reason, but there may be more to it than face value."

Theres often more to what a human says than face value. The key is to always be asking questions, always ask why, multiple times. Ask questions until you feel like you're on the edge of pissing someone off.

Often, a good bit of time up front can get to a few outcomes which save you a massive headache.

1) You understand the feature so well, you're ready to go and know it will be used.
2) The REAL ask was something totally different, and now you know what you need to do (nor not in some cases, sometimes its training, using the product properly/as intended etc).

You're also going to be giving the requester the space to fully explain themselves, and sometimes they can talk themselves round as well. At the end of the day everyones a winner when we ask more questions and listen.
I'm not sure what "not a chance" is referring to. Do you doubt that companies are being built around products not built in dynamic typed languages?

Because there are loads. I mean, almost every major technology company on the planet.

Indeed, there are lists of the "biggest" YC companies and it's remarkable how stratified the core technologies are with the launch year. Around 2008-2011 and it was Ruby all over the place. A number of recent companies list Go as the foundation of their solution. Recently Rust has started to appear in the lists.

Shopify is successful because of a business model at the right time and right place. That they use Ruby should be ancillary, but the company seemed to have hired the "big fish in a small pond" from the Ruby world so now they're cargo culting hardcore with Ruby there, making Ruby their core technology identity, to the point that they're spending enormous engineering effort to gain the benefits that everyone else is enjoying for free with alternative platforms. Which...they can afford it. But it doesn't make it right.
A very very American thing of you to say.
Classical music was popular with the elites when it was contemporary. But those elites were a tiny minority of the overall population.
I would start from projects looking for money and providing way to gave them (I bet that at least one heavily used FOSS project matches that description).

I am not so surprised by diversity here
Convincing you largely doesn’t matter since you have antibodies already. Your message here sounds a bit like a challenge, “here look at me I’m antivax please convince me” — no, at best that’s an empty request, at worst it’s trollbait.

My ex girlfriend is the exact same as you. I called her out on it, she didn’t like that. Do what you like, but IMO what you are doing is dishonest.

She did eventually get it, though, for no other reason than: it’s harmless, and it’s easier and cheaper than doing a test before every concert she wanted to go to. She eventually apologized and said she was just being stubborn for the hell of it.

Ah well, people change.
I actually get more enjoyment these days reading about games than playing them. Or at least I spend more time reading about them than playing them. For instance, reading an issue of Retro Gamer magazine is highly pleasurable. Picking up a retro game that I didn't actually play as a kid is usually less so.

A metaphor for this situation (building exactly what customers ask for) could be the car Homer Simpson designed ("The Homer").

https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer

Not that all users are equal to Homer, but what they think they want and what they actually need are very different.

It's better to get more detail on the problem, then present a series of possible solutions to evaluate and iterate on.
I caught Swine Flu in 2009 and really struggled for a few months after but it mostly went away. I can still think of several things that still aren't "right again" even years later though. Worst 2 weeks of my life, hands down.
I doubt Pi has changed much…
True, but at least you would need unique bills to run through, and law enforcement can then track those bills.
No true Leftist, hmm? Okay, I'll humor you, what should we call "MSNBC, the Democratic Party, and censorious anklebiters" (sic) and the rest of the broad coalition to the left of the American center, if not the left?

Aside from that, if you're suggesting I'm a conservative (no worries, it's a common mistake; it's tough being politically homeless), I'm a liberal unhappy with the broad coalition that used to be called the left. If that makes me a "conservative" in your eyes, well, there probably should be a term for that too.
I think his point very much means youtube should have done this sooner. There are tons of ppl that are 'anti- this vax only' because of the misinformation of youtube.
You could add those to Ampie. (I say, as if that isn't something you haven't thought of.)

No, the giant dialogue that appears when you turn off the phone, and tells you how to disable the feature is pretty easy to find.
I wish I could say that I chose Verne.mq because I weighed all the options and it was the best for my project but...I really chose it because it was written in Erlang and I like Erlang.

I won't pretend to have done an audit of the best servers in terms of bugs or features.
Interesting bit about geosphere vs biosphere. Every time someone mentions for carbon sequestration tech, people snarkily claim we're just reinventing trees.

That said, I don't think that a benchmark of "keep it sequestered for 1,000 years" is at all sensible.

Unless society completely collapses, it's clearly more viable to sequester for 100 years using today's technology and then sequester 900 more years using 2120 technology than it is to just sequester for 1,000 years using today's technology.
Umm they did exactly that, you just ignored that bit.
Bombardier and its pension fund backer wanted a low-risk exit from the airliner business, especially to avoid continuing investment.
are you intentionally straw manning me? i specifically acknowledged what you're claiming, and have been clear about how that doesn't make it comparable to something as fast acting as a virus.

you're fighting a point that has not been made.
Note that Google has billions of dollars and control of a huge amount of the world's data. Then note the reason the low standard is applied to anti-vax content is because they are about as close to being politically irrelevant as one can be.

They're struggling to even exercise basic human rights (freedom of movement, opinion, peaceful association, speech, etc, etc. There is probably a right for healthcare self-determination slipped in to the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights too it seems like the sort of thing they'd slip in). There is room to argue about whether the UDoHR applies here, but it is very notable that the anti-vaxers have nearly no power to have a quite reasonable interpretation stick.

Their opinions just don't matter. They appear to be on the verge of being confined to their homes while being widely condemned and socially ostracised. They are likely to be fired. Which is why it is so concerning that systematic oppression is being bought in to deal with them - this is Google crossing scary lines that didn't need to be crossed.
it's amortized between all devs.
Benchmark did. Invested in the early rounds (starting with Series A of $15m, mentioned in "WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the great Startup Delusion"), mid rounds and the final stake when they were supposed to IPO was $626m -- 40x their initial investment, according to FT[0].

Alternatively, the Faustian bargin we made with the FAANGs was that we would provide our data and they would give us useful ads.

If I bought a nice leather belt, perhaps I should get ads for nicer leather shoes or some other item, maybe a leather polish/waterproofing kit to keep my belt nice and new. The failure of the Advertising-Industrial complex in that regard has been disappointing to say the least.
Sure.

But "anti-vaxxer" has two meanings which are conveniently confused in current usage.

1. Someone against all vaccines
2. Someone against the current COVID vaccines
There is no mess.

One of the traits of CPTSD is specifically memory loss/suppression around the traumatic memories. EMDR for me is specifically helpful for surfacing those memories - its not exclusively used for single traumatic events! Also, IFS therapy is another methodology that has helped me make sense of sometimes contradictory emotional needs due to unmet needs in childhood.
When you aren't on youtube much it can be exasperating to manage this in this way. For example, I was watching a biology lecture on youtube. Recommendation tends to be insane conspiracy theories that include some words from the biology lecture title, and zero other high quality biology lectures. I'm not going to sit there and hover my mouse over literally every recommendation when they are all insane. I will just continue to not use youtube much, so far I haven't felt like I've been missing out.
I wish all the best to you two!
Fair enough. I've bought too many of them, the amount of dust on some is 'substantial'.
> If that’s all you are doing, then yeah, that’s probably not profitable because competition would just eat your margins.

And it would be great if the public debate was about what outcome is better given two policies produced by honest but differently focused scientists.

It would also be good if all those models were used as basis to discuss divergent interests and that politics would remain politics as a tool to select policies that maximize a majority (but not everyone's) best interests.

I feel, instead the issue is that it's become unacceptable to disclose what are someone's own best interests and to defend those.

Instead everyone produce fallacious models that show that their prefered policy is in everyone's best interests.

Garbage in the middle of the street can induce a feeling of disgust, but I don't think that makes it art. Even if somebody were to put a fence around it and stick a sign that says "this is art" on that.
I generally trust MDs here more than others. That doesn't mean that some MDs couldn't be completely wrong. But almost all MDs agree that vaccines are very effective.

MDs have, via connections such as subscriptions to medical publications and net sites or databases, access to more information than most people, and because of their training have an ability to assess information, including which teams of researchers are doing genuine science, and which are selling horse dewormers.
That's why this thread is at 2000 comments and counting. The censorship is no longer affecting some nebolous "other people". It's coming close. People can tell that they are next in line. That they will have to start practice serious self-censorship or get banned from FAANG-land, isolating them from friends, family and potential love interests.
What did the parent poster mean when he said "it's honestly pretty easy to find the setting to turn this off (iCloud > Find My > Find My network)"? Or are you disagreeing with him that it's "pretty easy to find" in the settings?
MQTT is available via LWIP on STM32 parts that don't have an MMU.

I've tried it on the STM32F746 (Cortex-M7) and it works well, although there are other issues with networking on CubeMX that are open.
The vaccinated aren't dying from COVID, they are dying from other things because they can't get an ICU bed. ICUs are full of unvaccinated COVID patients, which means all the people getting all the other normal sicknesses are being locked out of medical care.

That's what they mean by "the unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated". People who could have lived if they got ICU care are dying because the ICUs are already full.
If QI should exist it should at least be codified into law by Congress and given some rigorous rules to when it applies etc.

As it stands now QI is just something made up by SCOTUS and not created by anyone representing the people.
Yeah it’s really not ideal for small children, on multiple levels. There is often no physical kids menu and no accompanying crayons :(
How is this "movement" more than a rebranding of the tech optimists of the past? It reads as a pathetic response to the meagerest of efforts to go back to the tech optimists and technofuturists, or whatever these industrialists and capitalists pretentiously called themselves, to show them how wrong they were. Now you're all just trying to turn that frown upside down with greenwashing masquerading as philosophy. Anything to keep the capital flowing through the door and down the drain.
One of the authors (Vastraukas) was also an author on “ Using Lightweight Formal Methods to Validate a Key-Value Storage Node in Amazon S3” which seems relevant (Rust code base), but does not mention this tool. I wonder if there is any relation.

Is a scientist not also a citizen?
Not just that. If the feature is given in an usable or other poor form. They won't use it even when they have it right there. May be its not very obvious, or complicated, or too time consuming. Design makes all the difference.

If you give them something they never needed or asked for, but it's so obvious and simple to use, they will use the hell out if it.
You have to work on them a little bit but once you do, the recommendations are incredibly high quality.

Just make sure to hide the stuff you don’t want to see on your homepage. I go as far as removing dumb videos from my watch history (or watching them in incognito in the first place).

I find that most people who complain about the YouTube algorithm expect it to just work out of the box with zero tuning. It’s not that good and to be honest I personally don’t want it to be that good. But if you put in a LITTLE effort I promise you it’s an absolute recommendation beast. I have hundreds of hours of content in my watch later list just because of it. It’s all super high quality and I’m rarely disappointed hitting random videos in my homepage.
Of those, Qt is the only one with acceptable performance and ootb visuals.
So you'd be more convinced there was something to flat-earth arguments if they were banned? Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that you can access? Some of which you can verify for yourself. I don't see any good reason why such views would change your bayesian priors just because something was banned. Something which I'm sure you could find elsewhere if you really were curious.

My assumption would be such views were banned (at least on certiain widely viewed platforms or in schools) because a sizable section of society thought they were not only obviously false but also promoted harmful views, like neo-nazism in the case of Holocaust denial.

Those views are so badly wrong that they're anti-science and anti-history. There's no reason to give them credence.
I may be alone, but I believe that open source should be wholly free except for the contribution of returning and modifications to the public domain.

The reality is, if these tools are so worth it, the company will support them in house as needed, but the idea that community needs to pay for software suddenly because some people want to work on it full time is a bit odd.
I think we should punish public figures for getting things wrong and prescribing things wrong.

A good example was mask mandate and outside gatherings.

Everybody from politicians, officials, scientists and celebrities got it terribly wrong with stay home (turned out to be uneeded because risk of infection was so small).

So until those people have been punished they must be barred from giving any more advice.

Btw - this is not about scientists during pure science, but when they cross the border into policies. Wrong advises should have bad consequences for the people giving them
I’m with you.

They’re confusing. The magic is too high. They maintain state in an invisible way. The abstractions are hard to follow, especially when you roll your own.

The key issue for me is that they hide the rendering lifecycle from you. Everything’s implied. One of the complaints with classes was that you had to learn the arcane weirdness of the lifecycle. But a) it’s not that weird and b) it’s much easier to learn when the callbacks are named after the stage in the lifecycle. The hooks way makes all that invisible.

That said, I’m quite fond of the ‘[value, setter]’ return type from useState. It’s nice to use and nice to write. Just don’t ask me to explain how it works for multiple re renders.

> Oh, but it's also not FDA approved. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I bet vaccinations haven't gone up significantly since FDA approval. Obviously it's because the FDA isn't to be trusted, that's a given.

I believe that the FDA has only approved one of the vaccines so far. When I got mine, I didn't have a choice.
One of the fun things about reading 90s and 00s comic books is seeing the full color full page video game ads for whatever system was current at the time.
I think there are at least two things wrong with this take:

One is that I don't think it follows from the premise that the continuity of the physical world precludes AI, brain scanning, etc. Even if the physical world were continuous (likely not, see below), an arbitrary degree of approximation could be attained, in principle. At the very least I would not call the footing "firm".

The second is that the universe is very likely not continuous anyway. The Beckenstein bound[1] puts an upper limit on the number of bits of information a region of space may contain. If the ruler tickmark were either measured or localized to the precision required to encode the information, the information density would cause it to collapse into a black hole. This would happen once your measurement needs to be about as precise as a Planck length, which would allow you to encode about 115 bits of information with your tickmark.

(This in of itself is independent of the fact that you would need to construct the ruler out of objects that the universe permits; your ruler tickmark would need to be made of and measured with discrete fundamental particles, which by their very nature are quantized).

Tell HN: I didn't sleep last night, and I feel even better?
This started as Ask HN but after some googling it's now Tell HN, just wanna share my discovery, which is already well documented.. So last night due to TV/Depression I didn't go to bed until 5am. But then I thought I wont wake up on time so screw it I'll just stay awake. I was fully prepared to be a zombie and expecting headaches. And headaches did start at 8am, I took a nap accidentally at 9am to 9:50am and they went away. Later today, I noticed I'm able to focus, there is huge silence in my mind, all negative thoughts are gone... I feel bit like a zombie/fatigued but at the same time kinda hopeful, stable, content and ok. No anxiety or depressive mood, like not at all, almost scary how ok it feels, also not excited/happy either that I think is healthier place to be.. instead of swinging between crazy happy and totally hopeless. I did more coding today than in the last 10 days. Even had an important interview and wasn't nervous.

So I started to look what the heck is happening I always thought sleeping was crucial to mental health and neurons etc.

Turns out it's documented

"Sleep deprivation (SD) response shows up in the SD night or on the following day. Ten to 15% of patients respond after recovery sleep only. After recovery sleep 50-80% of day 1 responders suffer a complete or partial relapse; but improvement can last for weeks....There are, however, indications that Total Sleep Deprivation (TSD) is superior"

Forecasting is done, and it's done by creating ensembles of weather simulations.

Weather is chaotic, which is why forecast accuracy rapidly drops off the further out in time you make predictions. But still, they can be accurate enough far enough out into the future to be extremely useful.

So who's going to be the one that decides what disinformation is or isn't? Where exactly do you draw a line when deciding what constitutes disinformation, and as such what gets deleted out of existence? Sure, the microchip stuff is bullshit, but where do we draw the line exactly on what vaccine-related topics can or can't be posted about online?

And this is where we fundamentally disagree, I believe that any censorship of literally any kind is too much censorship. There is no such thing as a "reasonable standard" for banning "disinformation", because any two random people will disagree on what should be silenced or not.
