> The DMT experience is so far beyond any rational thinking or explanation that it boggles my mind how anyone would try to analyze it.

Some people have attached metaphorical debuggers to their brains, which give them additional capabilities.

More generally, some people may have access to analytical tools that you and I may not even be aware of.
> Or just put it behind a permission prompt

There are now dozens of APIs requiring a permission prompt. Enough.
Well, the Internet conversation mediated by the concept of engagement wasn’t what Socrates had in mind opposing writing.
The value of well constructed and structured dialogue is enormous. If it’s between two people, it’s already quite powerful, then you add complexity by adding an additional voice. We’ve been doing this for millennia, and it works, it’s just not what the internet translated.
> I had a minor panic attack, literally, upon receipt, as I thought I was about to be sued

Oh please! A tad bit dramatic, no? A single email from someone claiming to be in France is made out to be equivalent to an official letter from a US lawyer. They even said it was not a request for data so you can ignore it.

Was this a mistake? Yes.

Was it a big mistake? Hell no.

Let's not lose perspective and keep things real.
I will probably get downvoted for this, but I feel writing any new libraries in C/C++ is a bit of a waste when Rust is now available. Especially for file format parsing which is prone to overflows and the like. Yes there are safe coding practices but why not just choose a better tool for the job.
I have my guesses, but I'm very curious what the outcome of this ends up being. Sadly, a lot of these experiments will be polluted by the pandemic, so meaningful comparisons will be hard.
>A consumer would learn this by having interest in the world around them

And where would they go to fulfil that interest? HackerNews? Or maybe, just consider it, the instruction manual that comes with the device?

>We don’t need cushioned guard rails on literally everything.

Sure. Just labels on self-exploding products saying that they may self-explode.

>When was the last time you actually read a product manual?

Yesterday. I got an Ikea ENEBY speaker. Your ignorance and lack of having interest in the world around you, which includes product manuals, is on you.
>They communicated about it.

That tells us nothing about what they did or tried to do before they finally did reveal some possibly partial information. So it doesn’t answer the question. How could we possibly know that they didn’t try to cover it up? For all we know, they tried very hard and failed.

>What else do you want?

Less naïveté when dealing with the topic of how the people running such projects tend to operate.
My take-away from veritsiums video was:

“What’s the point of the wire?”

- it’s not the length of the wire, it’s the distance between power source and consume that determines how fast power travels (how does power “know” where to go, if not following the wire?)

- since power travels outside the wire, it should be okay not to plug in the power consumer.

I’m pretty sure that’s completely and utterly wrong, but I don’t know what he is trying to say. So the video creates more confusion than it clears up.

> It kinda feels like most people are missing the actual point of the video.

Which raises an age old philosophical question about communication: who’s at fault for the misunderstanding: The sender or the receiver?

I’d say it’s a bad video because it is from a trusted source of science and most people misunderstand it.
For this beta version there is a single AWS Lambda executer function, which interprets function scripts on every request. All the function info is stored in Redis.
I don't think so.

Nit comments are how I indicate areas where I would have done something different but I don't feel strongly enough to block your PR over it. Could be some formatting that I think could increase readability or some code you didn't touch in your PR but if you have time while you are in this file you could improve while you are there.

I always stress these don't block PRs and for the most part they are subjective. I still find it valuable to share these perspectives as they offer gentle ways to impart the smaller parts of "good taste" that make programmers well versed in such things a pleasure to work with.
There is a difference between variables and types.

For instance, in C#, with capital-case convention for variables, it is common to give a variable the same name as the type.

eg `public Player Player;`
Just to throw this out there, there's nothing to the proposition that Da Vinci was gay. There's a handful of comments in his personal writings regarding sexuality, and they're humorous or dry, with a sense of disdain for sex.

Unsurprisingly, Freud is responsible for some of the first suggestions of homosexuality, extrapolating from Da Vinci's writings in ways that aren't founded. Everything was phallic for Freud.

There was a single contemporary anonymous accusation of sodomy, but such accusations were like shitposting, and Da Vinci was prominent in public, and close to people that drew harassment.

The available evidence would suggest that he was celibate with an ascetic view towards sex, but even that conclusion is shaky at best. If he was gay, then it was obviously private or suppressed, but so would any heterosexual relationships have been. Projecting sexuality into his character is an interesting thought experiment, but there's not enough to really tell.

Without a direct communication by an individual, or some form of historical evidence, the sexuality talk amounts to gossip, in my opinion. Da Vinci deserves more respect than that.

The single solid conclusion you can derive from all of the evidence is that he kept his sexuality extremely private.

To be clear, I speak from a heart of no judgment or discrimination over sexuality, understanding the persecution and vile nonsense accompanying the catholic culture of Italy at the time. I simply think that speculation detracts from the genius of what he did leave for history.

It could be that I'm mistaken, but it seems tawdry and a bit self serving when assumptions like this are made, but I'm willing to entertain opposing views. My opinion is that privacy should be respected, even that of the long dead.
Are you delusional or trolling? Progressives in California have gotten almost everything they want. Prop 47, ultraliberal DAs, rampant "environmental protection" (fuel for NIMBY lawsuits), and massive state funding for homeless shelters. None of them have worked out for the betterment of society.
This is a very disingenuous comment coming from what appears to be a right wing point of view. I like how you left out all the right wing states that are also one party rule or even how many partake in gerrymandering to cheat the results.

The Democratic party and its media arm made record levels of fundraising/profit money when Trump was in office and they were the #resistance. They are motivated by staying in power yes, but they benefit greatly from the other guys being in office as well. Its a stretch to say this is a coordinated move. While the DNC does coordinate, I suspect its more to do with complaints from corporate donors and not for any re-election efforts.

The only ones sounding the alarm over Virginia and NJ are the far left progressives but its clear the DNC does not care. Just look at Biden's actions. He has many levers he could pull right this minute to fire up the base (executive orders such as legalizing marajuanna, pardon all nonviolent drug offenders, forgive student debt, etc.) but he chooses not to. Their strategy is to blame progressives when they lose in 2022 and 2024 in an effort to further delegitimize them.

I actually never cared for the noise cancellation on the QC-35 II. I did use it on planes though. I liked the feature a bit better on the earlier wired model. I think Sony has a comparable product where it has a finer grained toggle of the inverse wave.

> * The danger of lithium batteries is overblown, the OP shouldn't complain

Nitpick: lithium and li-ion are two different battery types.

The former contains metallic lithium, the latter lithium salts.

What went aflame in this accident wasn't the metal, but the liquid electrolyte, which is flammable.
Your description doesn’t match what I see in this thread at all.

Odd that you’re so upset by other people’s choices.
> Yeah, how overly sheltered to not expect your headphones to not catch on fire and kill you. It's a symptom of not believing when someone pisses in our eyes and tells us it's raining. Especially when it's happening on our own dime.

I agree with the feeling, but flammable batteries are one of the less risky and stupid thing humans are doing.

I mean, we are literally littering the sky with swarms of useless satellites for the rich hikers in the global north (one example among many of totally idiotic behavior) - I can live with batteries.

(btw. I don't even have a smartphone or a cellphone in general, i know i'm a bit of a radical - and i use only wired stuff, because i find it more practical, durable and ecological - point is, people accept very stupid stuff for their convenience, that's why we are slowly killing our planet and ourselves - your points are valid, but it won't deter people from using dangerous chemicals in their lives, and the throwing them away and poison nature and themsleves)
Decriminalization should reduce crime by definition I think as fewer things are classified as crimes.

edit: my bad - "Decriminalization or decriminalisation is the lessening or termination of criminal penalties in relation to certain acts" so these things can still be classified as crimes
This was my first thought too. How do you make a mistake like that? It made me chuckle.
>I get nothing out of twitter.

> is a bit of a waste when Rust is now available.

I will probably get upwoted for Libmobi and other C/C++, because Rust is a bit of a waste of time.
I'm no genius but it would seem like with some human trainers and some smart AI algorithms this could all be fixed fairly rapidly. Maybe I just don't understand machine learning well enough :)
I only tried the tutorial in remix and still don't get the use cases, probably because it's a new way of development compared to the traditional MVC?

I thought it's still missing a lot of stuff compared to rails / other battery included frameworks? The closest one comparable right now is redwoodJS

Probably because it's unopinionated? for instance how would you setup middleware, events, logging, etc?

Battery included frameworks like django, laravel, rails, all have extensive docs and way to setup everything. Also jumping between those frameworks already gave you familiarity due to the mvc structure. Now i'm probably just confused, from mvc, to spa and api, now to SSR with data fetching and processing happening all in 1 file?

Maybe the docs need to be better. or i'm just not good with new stuff..
See, you cleverly left out PNaCL and used the bounds checking argument for WebAssembly, which doesn't apply at all to data structures stored on the same linear memory segment.

As for the rest I won't even bother to dismantle yet again.

>Staring at a phone doing what? Swiping to refresh on social media for hours and hours at a time?

Yes, for the technologically-not-literate people that I know, Internet = social media, and they totally spend every waking hour refresh the page to see "what's new". I used to do that on reddit.

>check email, you read news articles, you look at posts from friends on fb or instagram, you interact with people in a comments section, you take or share pictures, you have music or video essays playing to help you focus on work, you message coworkers, coordinate a meetup in a group chat, among other things.

Half of this thing are mental garbage, the other half are FOMO and outrage economy, so not doing them may result in a positive outcome.
> I don't think the big picture on lithium ion battery fire risk is well understood yet.

It is the most common type of batteries on the planet, which has been used for decades. What is your estimate on when the risk will be well understood, if ever?
The article starts out badly, but improves.

In particular, mentioning the "substrate problem of consciousness" makes it sound like it will be BS. And, I don't know if the DMT experience really has anything at all to do with hyperbolic geometry. But that turns out not to be the interesting part. You can skip over that without missing anything.
> We used gopass at one of the earliest startups I worked for until we realized that all secrets needed to be manually rotated every time an employee left.

No password manager that I’m aware of solves this or even claims to. When an employee leaves, you need to assume that they retain control of all passwords they previously had access to. They could have made a copy that’s beyond the control of your password manager (for example saved the password in the browser). What helps are reducing shared passwords, relying less on passwords in general (SSO, IAM, …) but for some cases you just have to bite the bullet and rotate the credentials.
Yeah, and GM just recalled effectively all EVs they ever made.

What's your point? Mine was that Bose should do the same thing with their headphones, and they won't do it out of their own accord.

Also consider that there are billions of porcelain dishes made in the world, and somehow, they don't self-explode. If headphones are different in that regard, they should be, at the very least, clearly labeled as such - which is not the case.
Presumably if it happens enough times their insurance premiums will go up.
This is absurd. There's a world of difference between an object that you can kill yourself with or an object that just randomly kills you.

Yes it does when it comes to free speech. What gives you the impression that it doesn't? I mean it might not be good for your stocks, but companies have most of the same free speech rights that a regular person has.
Click "Not spam". It's what it's there for.

Not that I'm defending Gmail -- it's spam filter is a menace to email.
Some of the safety issues could be alleviated through different product design. For instance -- the charge system is a USB cable direct to the headphones. A fireproof cradle might be one option to handle to at least mitigate for unattended thermal runaway. In fact, a fireproof box in which to charge portable devices might not be a bad product idea.
I mean, it being not the standard is exactly why it's a debacle, right?
How exactly would you develop headphones that are hardened against high energy particles from space?

NASA has a hard time doing this for their vehicles that are intended to be in deep space.
This is a common failing everywhere.

TikTok is getting into restaurant business
The problem comes from the giants using close source algorithms for mail filtering... yes, they are very efficient at filtering spam, but you have no way to align on their close source filtering process to make sure your email goes through/not marked as spam. Ironically, I once in a while receive a spam from a gmail account, and it is not marked as spam.

I would also add we are the problem, we picked the giants because they are free and convenient. By doing so, we gave them way too much power over the email ecosystem and they can start making their own rules.

The only way forward in my opinion is moving out of these allegedly free services and making the internet user centric again by de-centralizing.
Effective at knowledge work? Do you mean more effective at career elevation or more passionate about technical capabilities? These goals are extremely divergent unless you are an entrepreneur selling a new technology you invented.

Maybe reviews should simply expire over time and that would at least time limit some of this.
>I'm not entirely sure why this got downvoted

Because we are on HackerNews, where the consequences of their own actions only exist for individuals and not the corporations they hope to be CEOs of one day.

I didn't realize that I'd need to argue, in 2021, that selling people dangerous products as safe is, in principle, wrong, but here we are.

To people asking "What did the OP expect", the answer is: whatever the instruction manual said on Page 1. And it surely didn't say: "WARNING: MAY KILL YOU DURING NORMAL OPERATION".

Once it does, we can have a discussion about everything else.
I find I get my best reading done or can bang out an unusually amount code while I’m on a long flight or passenger rail (Amtrak) without fast, stable internet.

I would love if someone opens up a no-internet cafe. And you can pay an optional, arbitrary “deposit” where if you leave early you get charged whatever amount you deposited.
>Okay cool and now the headphones weigh a kilo because of shielding and nobody buys them.

The problem here being.. that Bose loses money?

Or maybe, just maybe, they figure out a way to make headphones that are both safe and marketable?

The idea of free market includes the notion of failing in the free market. Which is exactly what Bose did here.
Thank you @permb for sharing your experience. sent you a dm on twitter.
The chemical burns part seems the worst to me. I suppose the thing to do (from a little light googling) is to quickly remove any visible stuff on you and then wash with lots of water ASAP. Anyone correct me on that?
Thank you for posting it to both you and OP. It is one of the true gems of the modern web
Only a handful get "forced down". That's no biggie. Life is unfair. The fact is, the vast majority of people don't get their first choice. We deal with it and move on.

But everyone notices when every aspect of their society is led by people of one race. The resentment and racism that follows has a far greater impact on happiness across the population.
It's less that I care about the their "margins" and more that I care about having headphones that aren't $600 and give me long-term neck problems from their weight.

Also nobody has died so...
I remember seeing something on TV a long time ago where they "cured" people who stutter simply by giving them a device that allowed them to hear what they were saying, but there was a tiny delay which was the way it worked. I don't remember the details any more than that.
Omicron is still being found in first-generation infected - those who have traveled internationally, and are therefore much more likely to have been vaccinated.

I’m extremely distrustful of the prevailing wisdom on this topic, and have not been vaccinated myself; that doesn’t prevent me from being honest in my analysis.

There is some hope that Omicron will be less severe than the variants that it is displacing, but we won’t have enough data to be confident in that assertion for another week or two at the earliest.

It will be at January before we have an idea how effective vaccine-based immunity is in relation to infection-acquired immunity. We have nothing resembling a representative sample of the general population yet.
Big Asbestos enters the chat
Ask HN: How do you remember what you read and how to take notes?
I've been somewhat inspired by the latest discussion about internet addiction and its' effect on book reading.
What are your ways of taking notes from books?

As for me, I'm mostly reader of historical books. On my desk I had recently China. A History by John Keay and The Power Broker by Robert Caro. I admit I had finished neither of both, mostly due to laziness. The book on China I ended reading in around 1/3.
I've got back to it yesterday and one thing hit me hard. I had forgotten almost everything besides some really obvious themes, and so I'm going from the beginning again.

Enough for preface, here comes my question. How do remember what you read, and connecting with that, how do you take notes and how do you organise them?
From school I remember old good method - you take a notebook and copy most of the book. Still, while I believe that method has some merit - I take notes from the famous Tanenbaum book in this way, because I am expected to know that topic really well. But that takes a lot of time and I wouldn't do that if it is not necessary. Another method I had some success with was writing a one-liner summary of a single paragraph in the book, but I've been raised to never write in books and I can't shake that off.
