I would like to recommend a lecture by George Lakoff - The Neuroscience of Language and Thought

https://youtu.be/JJP-rkilz40

Within the first 10 minutes he speaks of the fact that rational thought as we see it simply does not exist. All our choices are based on the ability to distinguish a preference and that ability is based on emotion.

It would only make sense that medication impairing our emotions would also impair our choice making.

It's Ringo Starr! He might as well have invented this cliche.
Omicron Says Hello to California
Agreed. What worries me is this statement: “While it is generally better for users to avoid the use of a forwarded agent altogether (e.g. using the ProxyJump directive), the agent protocol itself has offered little defence against this sort of attack.”

Which I cynically read as “Hey, there is a better way, but we’re going to try to make the worse way slightly more secure, here’s how!”

Some of the described behaviours strike me as opening up entirely new and hard-to-detect attack vectors.
You can say the same thing without being mean.
I can't believe it, it doesn't make any sense to me, can u have a dispute with all these emails?

Eh, why bother? This is basically just a pure-PowerShell VNC-like as far as I can tell. If an attacker wants that a reverse VNC shellcode is readily available and small.
While I def agree that those are not mutually exclusive and I considered paying myself a salary, but paying a salary still involves a bunch of extra taxes, which end up being more than the dividend's 5%. At least that's what I had from my accountant, but I'd be happy to know details of how to make the combination of salary+dividends to require less taxes than just dividends.
> there had to be a pandemic for regulatory agencies to even consider approving such new tech.

That’s nonsense. There were no regulatory agencies blocking mRNA vaccines. There has been a path towards their approval for a long time. And products such as EndeavorRx, a therapy delivered as a video game, show that FDA is willing to create paths for novel types of therapies in recent years.
Very nice writeup, i find it always a pleasure to read stories from people explaining their journey towards designing an algo.

TLDR: This is basically "wave function collapse" that was posted here as well some days ago, only it does local probability updates instead of global during tile resolving steps. This makes it run faster without sacrificing ability to halt, apparently. Very nice.
Yeah. It's okay for these kids to be sent off to die in war the day after graduation but keep the boomers away from illness.
I've noticed the same when I write design notes in a Github issue vs a Google Doc. The latter results in a longer document with less technical focus => lower quality, more suitable for a less-technical audience. Even knowing this, my writing style and content drifts in those directions for each medium.
Good point. That is what I am doing:

PasswordAuthentication yes

Then I really don't understand how you'd find it similar to chicken. But given I eat chicken regularly I guess we pick up on different things.

Black pepper is the only other thing I'd usually use with chanterelles. Possibly cream. To not waste so much of it, sometimes I'll boil them a bit first, and let enough water boil off to pour the rest into a light cream sauce to add chantarelle taste to the sauce as well.
I heard that Gnome is dependent on systemd now.

> Snap and flatpak are essentially just package managers, I can't see why you would expect those to be worse than any other package manager.

Those are even worse than tarball bundles. Main purpose of both overengineered projects is to tie users to vendor's services (snapcraft, flathub, e.t.c.). Centralized delivery is outmoded, future is decentralized distributed distribution.
Both package managers deprive me of control over my system.
I don't like the aggressiveness with which these projects are enforced. When Let's Encrypt switched to Spat as the only official distribution of their tool, I had to switch to alternative tool acme.sh instead of installing bloated snapd on my server.
ZNC has its own issues. We had a repeatable crash that happened every time a particular user connected (it took us a while to figure that out).
Not really. I recently played with HuggingFace’s biggest (around 6 billion?) language model, and the difference between it and GPT-3 was very noticeable. I think that if the models used in typical applications are much less powerful than Gopher. (Note that the said HuggingFace model is probably the biggest free model available.)

I'm not an expert but "wings falling off" seems like a pretty catastrophic failure for a typical aeroplane.
Show HN: Use Apple's Metal API for Compute in C++
Ah, apologizes, I missed your post. This analysis is awesome! I did a single look ahead, so it falls into the -OUCH zone and I have to burn some guesses. Doing the full search across all guesses is key. Well done!
Hi folks,

I created a small code example based heavily off of Apple's Swift/Objective-C tutorial to use the Metal API for compute in a C++ project using the metal-cpp library. I also wrote an accompanying blog post to describe the steps involved.

Hope it is of use to you!
There are different types of platforms:

If you sell something through Amazon and the buyer commits fraud, Amazon will still pay you provided that it was credit card fraud.

If you sell something on your Shopify store and integrate with Stripe, you are responsible for your KYC, and will have to take a loss for fraud.

The former takes a larger percentage of your sale for handling KYC, while the latter lets you keep more, but you're responsible for KYC.

The problem with Upwork, Airbnb, etc. is that they act like the merchant of record but not when it comes to fraud. They try to pass that onto the seller.
It's in the to-do list to improve the updates handling. Also it's even worse now - the whole content is base64'd https://github.com/DarkCoderSc/PowerRemoteDesktop/blob/main/...
I will second with another anecdote at mega corporation - Teams is entirely locked down and any of the useful integration points are disabled.
I read it as that being the point - that back then even starbucks made their employees cover their tattoos. That's why it seemed like a big deal to OP that Amazon didn't.
I love these types of projects! Good job.
Ah, "feco-chiropteroid crazy" is my new favourite expression. Thank you, Charlie Stross!
Not sure it matters much, but I had been using justwatch often. It stopped working for me a while back: search just wouldn't do anything.

I just cleared all my cookies and now it works again.

Not sure how big the problem is, but at least for me, your website seemed to be choking on its own cookies.
And decade.
Well I am still sometimes seeing this user that is sending latin-1, confusing everyone else.

I also wish that nicknames would not be handled via the hack of bots, as this sysem allows one to take a nickname one does not own, at least for a short while, but simply no identify it and ignore that message, and thus impersonate another user.
Ouch, that is a lot.

There is something like Serotonin Irritation Syndrome which can cause aggressive feelings and thoughts. Personally I tried to increase my serotonin twice, once with Tryptophan a few years ago and recently with Inositol. Both times I felt very aggressive. Maybe I should use it right before a chess game, who knows it helps ;)

It is sometimes mentioned that for people who are sensitive to psychosis (like me) this can be a tipping point towards aggressive behaviour.
One (LTD or PFA) only has to pay VAT if they invoice Romanian companies. Otherwise, based on what's called "taxare inversă" (reverse taxing), the invoices won't contain VAT, so it doesn't have to be paid either, even if the commercial entity is a VAT paying one.
Interesting. I've been watching it and it's free (ad-supported) with Prime. I have not bought it and don't have the AMC+ channel subscription.
There's literally a Nim plugin for Godot, commercially shipped games using it, and Nim compiles to C so it's easy to use it with Godot with or without bindings.
What a great website. I use it all the time. Thank you!
The fuel systems at least are fully redundant. Each wing has its own system and then there’s redundant systems that allow fuel to be transferred or delivered from either wing.

I discovered this when trying to understand what the barking noise is on airbus planes.
For those who are comfortable with python, I created Jello[0], which works like jq but uses python syntax.

I also created Jellex[1], which is a TUI built on Jello to assist with building the python queries.

Jello gives you the power of python but without all of the boilerplate, so it’s nicer to use in Bash scripts.

Would be nice if it supported Kanopy, it has an eclectic catalog for free if accessed with a library card.
Interestingly, one of the servers I'm in has people who feel the exact opposite. Some of them are upset that Discord doesn't allow them to download the entire chat history of a server. I think it's a good thing that it's not easy to do. Many conversations are better left as vague memories.
It's the "Thiel Foundation". It is in his name.

But that is why I said it is up to the individual. Some people could care less, other people at least want to know if the board is ethical.

I would put in the effort to know if any shady people were on the board of the company I'm taking money from. And if new information came to light after the fact, I would cease taking money.

You can't know everything about everything, and not even attempting to be ethical because you don't have all the information without doing any research is, IMHO, cowardly. It's the "if we can't fix this one big thing why bother doing any of these other things" fallacy. But that's just me and my ilk.

It's easy to make fun of someone trying to be ethical or who cares, because you can't know everything. That's what trolls do for fun. But I think it takes courage to try to stand for something you believe in. Again, that's just me and my ilk.
I don’t know anything about this situation, but definitely felt the author lost some credibility when their last tweet in the series promoted their previous viral tweet about a totally different situation where “god worked through them”.

Anyone else feel that was unnecessarily self-promoting and just a weird switch?
Counterpoint: SipHash.

Also, in general I disagree. For most people, safe defaults like hash tables with safe hashes and CSPRNG for random numbers are fast enough. And they have the important property of keeping people from shootings themselves in the feet.

People who have more stringent perf requirements will know and shouldn’t have a problem choosing a different implementation.

This is part of the risk of being a contractor/freelancer.

If you want the maximum legal protections around getting paid for your work, you need to be an employee.

Beyond that, ultimately it boils down to Robin has not paid for the work performed. The freelancer needs to demand payment from Robin directly, and if he won't pay, file a lawsuit against him if Upwork is not going to help. Will be difficult with Robin apparently being in a different country, and probably not worth it for only $12k, the legal fees and time spent will certainly exceed that amount.

Charge it off as a lesson learned, and a 12k business loss on your taxes.
Just in case anyone is wondering about their interesting choice of hostnames, they are very Greek in origin – somewhat appropriate for Geeks.

> Scylla and Charybdis were mythical sea monsters noted by Homer. [...]Scylla was rationalized as a rock shoal (described as a six-headed sea monster) on the Calabrian side of the strait and Charybdis was a whirlpool off the coast of Sicily. They were regarded as maritime hazards located close enough to each other that they posed an inescapable threat to passing sailors; avoiding Charybdis meant passing too close to Scylla and vice versa. According to Homer's account, Odysseus was advised to pass by Scylla and lose only a few sailors, rather than risk the loss of his entire ship in the whirlpool. [0]

This is distinct from the Hydra, which was a land based multi-headed beast, and guarded an entry to the underworld. [1]

So, OpenSSH thinks that you have to brave the seas to fight your demons on land.

Seems apt, I think.

(As an aside -- ``To be swept from Scylla to Charybdis'' is a (predominantly somewhat upper-class) British expression beloved by lawyers [e.g. [2]] meaning "caught between a rock and a hard place", and sometimes found in the formal judgements of some of the highest courts in the world, e.g. the ECJ ruling about whether or maintenance failures for airlines count as 'extraordinary' -- and therefore outside of the scope of the compensation legislation -- or not. It was found that they are 'part and parcel of an airline's operation'. I found this out as a teenager, when suing EasyJet for compensation I was owed. I won.)

What's frustrating about these academia threads, is that Ph.D. experiences are so diverse and different, depending on the discipline, subfield, university, advisor. Yet so many commenters oversimplify their one experience or what they think it's like from knowing a couple of grad students.

I know Ph.D. students who made almost six figures by doing highly paid research internships. Some advisors only care about demos, while others care about startups, and yet others care about how the work is presented to funding agencies. I know Ph.D. students who did most of their Ph.D. in a completely different city than their degree-granting institution. I know Ph.D. students who were highly pressured to publish, and Ph.D. students who had no pressure to publish. I know Ph.D. students who basically had no advisor, and Ph.D. students with 3 world-expert advisors. Some Ph.D. students are funded by the university, others are funded by large collaborative grants, or by their own fellowships, and yet others are funded by small industry grants their advisor got.

It's like if threads about being a software developer had comments like "at tech companies, you only get rewarded for closing tickets."

MIX was not yak shaving.

In 1968 a book like TAOCP needed to cover assembly programming. Using an existing assembly language for an existing machine would not work well unless you wanted the book to be "TAOCP for CDC 6600 Programmers" or "TAOCP for Burroughs B5500 Programmers" or "TAOCP for IBM/360 Programmers" or similar. There were a lot of significant differences between different machines, and so if your book used any particular one for its implementations it would be harder to use for readers who used a different machine.

MIX allowed Knuth to capture the important points that you needed to learn about assembly programming, without getting you tied to any particular machine.
The demo also shows a spectacular phase transition.

Make a mix like 10% / 90%, set tolerance to 50%. Even though some clusters form, a lot of unsatisfied dots keeps wandering around indefinitely, because there are not enough contiguous free areas.

Then change the tolerance to 51%, the smallest amount past 1/2. Very-very quickly clusters form and motion stops; the segregation is complete and stable.
It increases IQ, histidine, a precursor for histamine, doubled the IQ of people with downs syndrome in an experiment over several months, but histamine also increases aggression which probably explains why you dont see many aggressive people with Down Syndrome.

Aged food & drink is higher in histamine.
Red wine more than white wine.
Dark spirits more than clear spirits.
Red meat more than white meat.
It can cause spontaneous erections, 60mg of histamine can be used for erectile dysfunction.
Histamine can increase blood saturation levels and help reduce the symptoms of COPD and other respiratory problems.

If you consumed alot of histadine, like several heaped table spoons with meals throughout the day, depending on your age and health you will notice some or all of the above.
Its one of the fastest amino acids into muscle, its untouched by the liver.

I dont know why you are taking anti-histamines, histamine helps the white immune cells move through tissue, it causes inflammation, there is also a histamine feedback loop in the brain which affects sleep patterns, which is why anti-histamines can help people get to sleep, but lots of histamine can improve sleep conversely.

Loads of studies exist that can be found on Google Scholar, but multiple chemicals affect peoples personality, and their health.

If you want to read up on this, also look at the pathways and other chemicals which work with histidine (or any other amino acid) for that matter.

You can listen to tapes from his teenage years in the late 50s, where he's singing in almost that exact early 70s croon. But his voice throughout most of the 60s was very different and, for the most part, intentionally so.
I love it :)

Never considered that point but, as a rebuttal, consider that trip time vs speed is extremely non linear and stochastic (due to traffic, lights, etc).

In my experience you have drive much faster than x% to increase your average speed x% and it doesn't appear to be a linear scaling at all.

Of course, you shouldn't be doing 80 in urban roads
More dire, as in more worrisome/extreme/upsetting.

As kind of an echo of radu_floricica's comment upthread: dismissing some X because some other people allegedly will have unreasonable concerns, that's another disease of discourse we get too much of. I wish people would restrain themselves from bringing up that kind of alleged obstacle until after getting to some kind of rough consensus at the object level.

It's like a recipe for "We can't ever improve anything unless, somehow, magically, there's already common knowledge of the fix." The object-level talk is necessary to getting to common knowledge!

I have a question. Does anybody know why we keep our indoor light sources uva / uvb free ?
I know that too much UVA/B light seems to be carciogenic, but a small amount of it, especially UVB seems to be beneficial to human and still kills germs, especially covid [1]

The positive effects are
a) vitamin d production
b) germicide

The negative effects are
c) lower energy efficiency in the visible spectrum (watt per visible light produced)
d) negative effect on the eye
e) carciogenic

For indoor keeping of reptiles UVB light seems to be needed [2]
As far as i've read, for indoor planting, UV light seems to beneficial as well, for example it increases the production of THC [3]

Why should we, as humans, be different ?

I have two external hard drives. I have a script (based on rsync) that does two kinds of backups:

- "normal" backups (i.e., if I deleted a file in my computer, delete it also in my backup)

- archival backups (i.e., never delete files from my backup, keep always a copy of everything)

Some of my $HOME directories are selected for "normal" backups (e.g., images I may have in my computer, the Downloads directory, etc.), while others are selected for archival backups (i.e., source code, important files, music, etc.).

I connect one hard drive at a time and run `./backup`. I usually backup my stuff twice per week or so. I check if my backups are fine every month or so. I don't backup to the cloud (although I have some stuff I don't mind losing like music, images, movies that I store in Google drive/Dropbox/etc. I also have some code repositories in GitLab/GitHub, but again I don't mind if I suddenly have no access to their cloud versions).

But above all, I try to delete stuff as much as I can. My goal is to end up with a minimum amount of digital stuff (let's say, less than 4GB) that I can copy/carry easily. I want to be able to live without worrying about losing music/images/pictures/documents/books/code/etc.
That's not only a States thing.

Per the article, that would have required him opening a laptop during their meeting and twiddling the mouse around to prevent idle.

Legally, that may impact.

But practically and provably? I can't imagine he wouldn't be in the same situation, albeit with Upwork claiming they'd detected patterns of abuse during his claimed time, and still putting this on him. Or maybe not. Futures not taken, etc.
Not sure where this person is, but in the US chargebacks exist because they are required by law. There is also an arbitration processs they are required to provide for disputes, which is pretty cheap.
As an employee I continued to run into people assuming I should be available from 9-5 and that I should take a similar number of vacation days as the rest of the team.

It seems like there was always some resentment toward the guy who leaves the office at 2:00 and take 30 days of vacation as an employee regardless of his salary or productivity.

But as a contractor they don't care.
Fuel pumps have backup pumps. Matter a fact, the whole fuel system is a lot more complex than this.

And as for “the wings fall off” part, makes me remember a quote of an engineer I once read that goes something like this: “The wings are the strongest part of the airplane. If you worry about them ripping apart or falling off, you have way bigger problems than that, like the rest of the plane missing”.

Sure, most software projects and products have their share of flaws and bugs :)

I do not claim ZNC or our whole IRC setup was perfect, but for me and many others, it did a very decent job of providing effective, no-frills, getting-things-done means of communicating, all while consuming little resources on both server and clients, and being simple, underestandable, and easy to hook other software into.

I really miss it, and personally dislike (especially the client UX of) most trendy/recent alternatives.
