Yes seems I used the wrong word here. Indeed I meant media, rather than format, as personally for my backup setups it's different media I want to trust, rather than the actual backup file formats (which are easily interchangeable depending on what's used; read and write data to and from formats if needed).
I tend to agree with your assessment that this is the age of "quality doesn't matter" but I would like to tweak it a little bit. This is the age where novelty is more important than quality.

Something new can be of the lowest quality imaginable, but something old still must be very high quality to get peoples attention.

Even here on hacker news where if a title doesn't have the year it was published there will be at least one comment with that information, and often it will later be added to the title.
This is a great timeline to imagine :)
> You have to wonder what PV would cost if even a tenth of the resources invested in developing nuclear energy were instead invested in solar energy development.

Not enough was invested in nuclear. Fossil fuels received massive funding (and subsidies). Had we deployed more nuclear power for baseline and industry, we would have been in a far better place. The Cold War also messed up things, and caused the reactors that were deployed to be the ones better suited for weapons first, energy second.

Note that our solar panels are similar to computer chips. Investing more money would have sped up the development but not in time for it to be viable in the 80s.
"If you have taken 5 trips over a 1-2 years, I don't think you get much material. Psychedelics seem to have hard limits of what they can reveal."

I've never seen any studies to suggest this is the case. Just anecdotes of people saying they stopped taking them after a while because they weren't learning anything new. But usually such anecdotes have no information on just how they were taking them -- with intention? In a therapeutic context? What did you actually deal with in your life and what didn't you deal with?

I suspect that those that stop getting results aren't integrating what they learn during the trip in to their lives, so they're stuck on repeat.

"I have found that the good after effect comes even from low doses."

The research on microdosing is just getting started. It's quite possible that reported effects from microdosing are due entirely to the placebo effect.
I'm fine that the app locally still processes the audio stream - even if I'm muted - to show me a warning if I start talking while muted etc. The alarming part in the article is that at least one app would still send the audio stream _to the server_ while being muted. Any mentioning which "popular app" that is?
Right, but hopefully you have time to re-do everything after the fire and water. Until that happens, the cabinet is doing its job.
> a really good relationship is a 60/40 compromise, where both sides are struggling to be the 60

Perhaps I'm misreading your comment, but in my experience feeling that you are doing most of the compromising can easily lead to resentment. Looking at things as a zero-sum game in which you are either compromising or getting things your way at a certain ratio is intrinsically competitive.

In my opinion, both in marriage and in other social settings, relationships grow stronger when both feel that they are working together towards a common goal that satisfies all parties. This takes more work than a simple "your way or my way" approach, but it leads to all parties feeling seen and heard (because they are!).
Probably the user experience would not be as good, though, since it'd be an audio-only feature that only works if you've enabled video.
PyCharm 2022.1 Released
Truth always lies in the middle. I suggest to read this article by Hannah Wolfman-Jones with a response from civil-rights expert Nadine Strossen about the whole ordeal and make up your mind [0]. I am indifferent but I think everyone should read the two sides of the story

[0] https://www.wetheweb.org/post/cancel-we-the-web
I agree that the thoughts and feelings of other people in general are difficult to predict. But a person you marry is often someone you spend a lot of time around and hence whose thoughts and feelings can be predicted to some extent - because you see them in different situations, then see their reactions and talk to them about their thoughts and feelings.

In this specific case, the author denies that the consequences existed:

> But that doesn’t make sense, I thought. I’m not trying to hurt her; therefore, she shouldn’t feel hurt.
How can there be profit without scarcity?
You're assuming every team would have better uptime with in-house solutions

I think many would have worse uptime even with more headcount
I agree that this is arguably more about "wow, it's cool and maybe more fun to draw on paper" than "this is actually the easiest way to draw animations in 2022 for most kids".

Most kids have access to a phone/tablet and would probably do better with something like this?

https://animatic.io/

Then again i guess it's easier to draw with pens, pencils, markers, crayons than it is to draw on a phone/tablet.

But yea, it's super cool to do it on paper too. I'd be nice to make the site mobile friendly. Of course this requires access to a printer. I haven't owned a printer in 9 years :( Maybe the next version could use ML or something to let you hand draw the grid.
Considering American police can't even seem to get it right when they have two distinct firearms, and are trained to holster them on specific sides so they know what they are grabbing - and still manage to f*ck it up....this might be an improvement.
I would think "higher chance of getting caught" would be better in deterring any particular crime than "stiff penalties".

My first google search "harsh penalty deter crime" had this as the top:

>Increasing the severity of punishment does little to deter crime. Laws and policies designed to deter crime by focusing mainly on increasing the severity of punishment are ineffective partly because criminals know little about the sanctions for specific crimes.

With most forms of crypto the government can look at the ledger. Frequently the US has success at tracking down and seizing Bitcoin and other forms of crypto.

Since the ledger is public you can replace your elected and somewhat accountable 'government' with

* North Korea, Iran, ...

* Scientology or Jeffery Epstein's lawyers (if you are a victim looking for justice)

* the Mafia, Yakuza, Triad, ...

* Greenpeace, ACT UP, Proud Boys, ...

really anybody who wants to make your life hell. So going to crypto is going from the frying pan to the fire.
You're right. Roblox should not be allowed to charge that much either.
I don’t think it’s vague at all. You know as a person when something internally doesn’t sit right.

But I do agree that one’s core values are necessarily ’good’ by other’s standards but they are still core values. For example I have stopped eating at my favorite fast food restaurant because they supported(ed) BLM on their front page. I am an ALM guy because I believe that giving one color preference over another is the by definition racism. But what sticking by my guns does is it causes me to at some level evaluate that every time I choose not to eat there.
At least as far as not giving up microphone access is concerned, when using Bluetooth headphones, this is very much desirable:

Deactivating the microphone usually is seen as a signal by the OS to switch Bluetooth headphones from two-way conferencing mode (low latency, mediocre quality) back to "music" mode (high latency, good quality). This usually takes 2-3 seconds and disrupts all sound being played (most notably other people talking in the meeting).

I wouldn't want that to happen every time I mute myself.

Continuing to send data to the conferencing bridge is indeed quite shady. Hopefully this would just be (encrypted) silence or comfort noise parameters, which can be useful to e.g. keep NAT mappings alive.
Something to consider is that Jira can require a great deal of configuration to tailor it to your needs. If you already have a DevOps team of some capacity (not everyone does) then it may only be a small incremental increase to run thinks on prem. I did it myself: I'm ver much not a DevOps person, mostly unfamiliar with optimizing JVM parameters for apps like this, but it still only took me about 5 hours to get things running stable, and then another 2 hours or so a few weeks later to tweak things like heap size to help things go a bit faster (though it was still somewhat slow)

To be complete open though I don't know how much DevOps overhead is involved in maintenance or feature updates. I hated the app and used it for less than a year so I didn't have much exposure. I guess my point though is simply that you may not need to use their SaaS option if you have a decent DevOps team already. After the initial setup time I doubt I spent more than half an hour a month managing the internals and updates.

I did spend more than that on configuring the system for use, which you'll need to do regardless.
What is the alternative?

What I mean in the long tail the our choice is less between bot-generation and human writing and more between bot-generation and nothing.

The choice isn’t between the TFA [sic] and something better - and if the article didn’t have any text a person could argue it would be better. The choice seems to be between the article and something worse (at least in terms of images of the logos).
Mutations across species reveal clues to ageing
Look up the history of FM broadcast automation for more on how this worked - it's fascinating. Starting in the 60s, companies like Drake-Chenault started implementing these Rube Goldberg-esque analog systems that involved tapes with subaudible tones at the ends of songs that would trigger a relay system playing other tapes or cartridges with commercials on them. Stations would subscribe to a service that would send them new tapes with the latest Top 40, AOR, or MOR hits, and then they'd record carts for local ads, weather, and news.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying.

My 3-2-1 comes from a personal non-professional standpoint, thus not having the extra 1-0. However I have been considering immutable offline backups, using burned DVDs or Blu-Ray discs. That's another project for another time though, for now I'm trusting paid cloud providers.

As for verification tests, hashsums are a simple solution in my opinion, but I've moved to ZFS and BTRFS to avoid having blips.
Get a Start
I recently had a new install of macOS, and so decided to try the 1Password 8 Beta as opposed to 1Password 7. 8 is sorely lacking compared to 7, but that is probably due to it being beta (I hope). The Firefox extension was essentially a separate instance and did not connect to the desktop install, so I had to login again and could not use TouchID for example. Not to mention browser autofill was broken and all the shortcuts I had gotten used to changed! Although I didn’t mind the new appearance, it was very clearly not a native app and the experience unfortunately suffers for it (just one example, scrolling your list of accounts/passwords sucks and flickers).
On Linux at least, Teams continue to grab the microphone even after the meeting has ended. You can see this by looking at apps registered for "recording".

I'm not sure how that can be justified. Besides privacy, the issue is that this prevents the sound card from going to sleep, which may be an issue on laptops. But I guess this is insignificant compared to the rest of Teams' power consumption.
> Objectively Hikaru is one of the best places in the world. I'd make similar defenses for most players on his level.

Yes, as are many of the players he beat in the Grand Prix, most of whom would stand no chance whatsoever in the candidates. One can acknowledge that he's one of the best players while also acknowledging that he's clearly not one of the top 3 in classical chess.

He knows that too. That doesn't mean I don't look forward to him competing and seeing how he does. I do! Despite what you think I like Hikaru and enjoy his content and play! But like I said, I'm realistic about his chances.
Well you’ll have to forgive me because TFA mentioned none of that.
In my opinion, some concatenative go one or two steps too. Forth is more pragmatic and less academic, and let you do things the (almost) normal way:

: min 2dup < if drop else nip then ;

If you want to write programs that solve your daily problems you use normal Forth. If you want to write a PhD or play, you use the fancy stuff.
I think you've put your finger on something I've been thinking about for a while.

Why should I travel anywhere if everywhere looks the same as the place I left.
That's so subjective. My photography is interesting to me, and draws admiration and interest from almost everyone I share it with, even though they themselves have phones with cameras.
Just 5 mph too slow :/
The solution is obvious: have the camera watch you even when it's "off".

:-)
Yup, a lot of these dissolutions are over money and control of the finances. Breadwinners need to treat their stay-at-homes with nice dinners, shopping experiences and pocket money that feels reasonable. A lot of them get it wrong.

It’s all about dignity and respect really. Take that away from your partner and they’ll resent you, no matter how much pove there is between the two of you.
"The team’s design can generate electricity from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius"

That's way up there. That's well above the melting point of steel.
That's above the highest temperature jet engines made for experimental aircraft.[1] Most jet engines try for exhaust gas temperatures around 600C or so, for a long useful life. Typical nuclear reactors, around 300C.

It's not impossible to operate up at those temperatures. Every steel plant does it. There are ceramic and brick materials that can deal with such temperatures.[2] The storage medium would probably be some molten metal.

This seems way too much trouble just to store energy.

Now if this thing worked at 600C or so, there would be more uses.

We are in a similar place with Slack. We moved from HipChat to Slack and that was painful enough. Then the company noticed we get Teams for "free" and they tried to push us over to it. But folks have so much automation (because "ChatOps" is that new new) that is pushing things into Slack the company eventually gave up.
Do they? Not necessarily. That's quite a generalisation. I get the humour, it's just not my cup of tea.
There's a couple of other well-known ways to screw up redundancy too, though I hope they're in far enough to know them.

One of my favorite is, if you want to store three copies of something on a lot of disks, randomly select which three disks you want to send the copies to so that each bit of content is stored on three random disks. It superficially seems very appealing; I have 3 copies of everything, nothing is likely to go wrong!

However, what you've actually created is a situation where if any three disks go down, you're guaranteed to lose data because as you scale up, the probability that those three disks were the three randomly-chosen disks for some set of data goes to 1. The probability of three disks going down at some point also likewise trends to 1 as you scale up.

Not saying that was the case here, just sharing it as one of the well-known pitfalls I find particularly interesting.
There are certainly circumstances where you might have grounds to sue for damages if an SLA is breached. I'm not sure how often this happens but the losses from something like Jira being down could be quite a lot more than anybody pays for it. It's quite likely that defenses against exactly this are written into the contracts you agree to signing up for the service though.
This blew my mind:

"Related terms

Completely agree, there's a lot of user friendly reasons to want the software to behave this way. I use a headset with a hardware mute that engages when I put the mic arm up, that's what I use when I want to make sure I'm muted.
It's never about the dish, or the coffee mug, or whatever. It's all about what raw spots that dish rubs up against, probably from long before your marriage began. If you or someone you love is finding themselves disproportionally hurt or irritated by small behaviors and habits—yes, of course, find ways to shift that behavior, but please also consider counseling or therapy. There may be far greater depths of healing available than merely changing a single behavior.
Not mentioned in the article is power density. How quickly can the energy be released? Consider solar panels, you need a table sized cell to get 100W. That can make for a big battery to get grid scale power output if these cells are only as power dense as solar panels. The energy density of a heat based solution can be very high- metals can get very hot and they are dense enough to store a lot of energy. But if you can’t get the energy out of the battery fast enough that limits the applications. By comparison lithium ion batteries can dump power out extremely quickly, which is what makes them great for cars. Hydro is even better.
That’s certainly a different sensor, called the ambient light sensor.
yep. but at least in the rdbms case, and probably in all cases, a flag (and an index on it) tends to be essential for query performance since the state of the flag will appear in most, if not all queries.

that's okay though, queries that reference the timestamp can be slow since they're housekeeping.
In case it helps you in the future, or for other readers here, let me just add: the symptoms you describe are well past the point where you probably need to see a therapist to make the relationship work.

There are things you can do to fix this. They require work on both sides, obviously, but it can be done. But unless you have way more self-awareness than I do, it's not likely that you're just going to pick them up out of thin air. The good news is, this is stuff you can learn.

If you prefer to read a book on this topic, the one I'd recommend is:

The New Rules of Marriage

by Terrence Real

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NJL7RS

But I really do strongly recommend therapy in these situations. This is the sort of thing where the therapist can help you figure out whether you both have fault or if one person is really over the line. And then you're not responsible for convincing your parter that X thing they're doing is unreasonable.
Frontrunning gets you a worse price for your trade, so traders would naturally avoid exchanges which practice it in favor of others which offer a deal. There is no natural monopoly on crypto exchange services, though regulation does tend to raise artificial barriers to entry and promote centralization.

The "GME level fiasco" was only possible as a one-time event. You don't get situations like that on a recurring basis because the market adapts.
lol, this comment is too much.
There is no such thing as the "perfect" partner if the definition of "perfect" means "perfect compatibility."

Even if there were perfect compatibility (which would really just be extending solipsism to one's relationship), the only constant in life is change. Thus one might be "perfectly compatible" with another person in a small snapshot of time in which they enter into a marriage. Then every single day and every single change threatens that compatibility. It's a fragile house of cards to build a longterm relationship around.
This is remarkable. What are the implications for the human generated art and entertainment world?

Combining these technologies and the cycle of progress will we soon (lets say within 2 decades) be able to:

1. Generate music (e.g https://openai.com/blog/jukebox)

2. Generate CGI 3D Models (e.g https://www.louisbouchard.ai/ganverse3d/)

3. Generate Plots/Fiction (this is probably the most complex unknown, e.g https://medium.com/the-research-nest/interesting-novels-writ...)

4. Generate Animation (e.g. https://getrad.co/ or https://www.deepmotion.com/Animate-3D)

Finally will a next generation Spielberg be able to create a complete film using these tools sometime in the near future..

FUTURE AI: generate the film "E.T. as a comedy with a female protagonist, and the alien should look like a yoda, set in the 1960s" -or maybe we upload a film script and the AI will generate the movie in "Spielberg style, or Scorsese Style etc"...

finally the porn implications are worrying.. how will we ever control this?
There are sanctions that are worthy of criticism - the decades-long sanction on Cuba, for instance, even though I disagree with their regime - but North Korea is pretty transparently a despotic regime that should be opposed.
fair point. maybe i am seeing things a bit to idealistic. it depends on the persons character. someone who is not assertive needs more attention from their partner to their needs than others.

it also makes more sense to look at it from the other side:

if i know that my partner is subordinating her desires for my sake, then i have an extra responsibility to make sure that i take care of her needs.

> I expect that getting a heatsink paste rated for 2200 C is ... challenging, but, conveniently, you'd do better if you just skipped the paste

Liquid metal is some of the best performing thermal paste around. In computer applications that's normally an alloy made from Gallium, Indium and Tin, but at 2200C the majority of metals should work. Maybe Gold to reduce oxidation.
Very much this, it takes time to recapture the microphone and it's really annoying to lose the first part of what you say every time you unmute. I lead the video team at a videoconferencing app (gather.town) and we keep the microphone active when you mute for this reason.

As seems to be pretty common, for the sake of privacy we do stop sending audio to the media server. That's a tradeoff, since we're still susceptible to losing a little bit while the audio connection resumes.

Edit: as others have mentioned, also useful to keep bluetooth headsets in two-way audio mode rather than reverting to audio output mode, since that's really disruptive.
Huxley dramatized significant members of British society in Point Counterpoint, famously including DH Lawrence, so I wouldn't be surprised if he drew some characters from real life in this one, too.

Exactly. If tape was easier for me to implement in my setup, I would do it, but I'd rather just use cloud with a fast fiber connection for now. Offsite I can send data on an external drive to another physical location if needed.

I made efforts to buy HDDs from different sellers even, to avoid sequential failures from singular bad batches. That's something else I'd want to add to a "3-2-1", with regards to HDD as a form of backup or storage media.
