Pregnant women have been consuming all kinds of food for centuries.

We also took insane child mortality numbers and all kinds of defects for granted.

Our mothers still consumed food that has a tendency to contain/grow listeria. Then it was found in several cases where the reason for the death of the child was not known.

Now pregnant women (at least in Europe) are strongly advised to avoid products from raw milk and uncooked meat (hams and salami.

Things change, and not without a reason.
If you have an AI, it'll likely have false positives. Then website owners might end up wondering why a lot of their pages aren't showing up in the results.

A few thoughts:

The name is great and the animation at the end was cool

I had trouble initially understanding that the idea was to match the color on the right half of the circle (in wordle the hidden secret is what I’m guessing, so I didn’t expect it to be shown)

The percent amount in the mix wasn’t obvious. Your UI and tutorial were helpful in hindsight but I still didn’t get it initially.

I struggled with the last box because the mix is so small it had little effect. This was definitely not fun!

The contrast of % text is hard to read.

A few ideas:

Consider if it might be more fun to have people guess HSL (a row of hue, a row of saturation, and a row of luminance in the “color keyboard”). This is easier to understand than percent mix and might teach people about color! As a bonus you could then hide the goal color as now the guesses would get closer organically

As a separate idea, consider using the web color names somehow. They are quite enjoyable and I could imagine them being fun if you found a way to use them.

Consider making it dark gray background instead of white (I found the lighter color a bit glaring)

The reality is that Facebook is huge, and I personally cannot break them up, nor can I take any action that is likely to make it happen, so I am left with finding the best way to operate in this reality.

For me, that means creating my own little corner of the Internet which I'm comfortable in, and limiting my interactions with the giants.
Don't underestimate noise pollution. It's a very real stressor.

Though, what's more likely is that a child with mild ASD is more obviously autistic under stress, which leads to diagnosis earlier.

and they hired Travis Downs, who is probably even more knowledgeable about optimization.
1. The quote says "diagnoses of autism" not "diagnoses of severe autism" so if the definition of autism has expanded over time due to improvements in our understanding of autism (which it has) the diagnosis argument is far more effective.

2. It is easier for children of poorer people to get an autism diagnosis now than it was 50 years ago, so even severe cases might not have shown up in the stats if the child was born to a poor family.
In other words: Hand waving.

This is the kind of "research" that leads to CNN headlines like "TV is turning your child autistic!", and other such scare stories for frightened and confused parents that lead to more bullshit salves and treatments that only harm autistics even more (as if we're not getting shit on enough already).

And if it's not intended as a joke, that's even worse.

Yishan is bothsides-ing. It's a cop-out.

I do not believe or claim that dang is personally biased against "my side". I think he tries incredibly hard and is rigorously driven to avoid bias because of the grand social experiment he's shepherding. It's our privilege to participate in that experiment.

What I claim is that the policy of "assume good faith" has an inevitable, unavoidable side effect of driving away outgroups. On reflection it wouldn't be just left-affiliated outgroups either — the mechanism is that leniency in moderation means that low-grade hostility is tolerated — BUT that hostility could be directed against the outgroups of any forum, and who the outgroups are is variable and forum-specific.
Agreed. I have a friend who has been autistic their entire life, but was only acknowledged/diagnosed in the past little while, in their 30's. Back when they were a little kid, it was interpreted as just being a challenging/picky/quirky child, nothing "diagnosis-worthy". If the medical system and society better understood autism back then, it would have been noticed and diagnosed back then. I have heard the same approximate story over and over.

I don't know, let's ask the United Negro College Fund, and it's work for African American youth, particularly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Within the actual community, there's differences as to the most-preferred term for the community, and there’s generational differences in the distribution of preferences, but unless you are using one of the terms that historical principally a slur or indicating a racist attitude in some other way, it's not as big of a deal as white racists who like to place the blame for the anger they incite on nitpicking about anthroponymy rather than the substance of their ideas.

2) Probably all the benefits and none of the downsides of that pill from the Limitless movie/book/TV show. Perfect memory and superhuman learning ability would be fucking amazing. (I would also be happy with just Jon von Neumann's brain.)

VS Code with C#. Why: VS Code is the editor and no matter what comes next in his choices, even random non CS stuff, VS Code will be good. Maybe start with a notebook and not a program in the first days.

Why C#: it is the most versatile platform. You can create apps, web stuff, servers, desktop apps, machine learning, console apps, etc. It is statically typed (which is important for the youth to understand what he is doing), has excellent intellisense and beginner friendliness was a focus in the last year (a one liner is nowadays a valid c# program). .NET as base platform allows also F# for a switch to the purity (do not make me comment on that), can run on Linux/macos (if this is important to you) and most important: is not Python which everyone else is doing. Python is the new boring Java.
It can, but sin(x) has infinite number of extremes, and the gradients will vanish at those points. Activations will get stuck at 1 and -1 (x=π/2, 3π/2, ...). They set x+(1/a)*sin²(x) to be monotonic, which fixes this.

Or you need to optimize without using gradients.

You probably knew all of those, but may not have seen it set out in this fashion before.

What specific problems are you referring to?
Those are all ridiculous examples because they are purely hypothetical, but you're missing the point; if enough people felt strongly about those then yeah, we'd probably change the way we talk.
This will very likely be a problem we'll run into if we gain massive adoption, and it will be difficult. But if we prove to be a useful monetary system that benefits the population, then perceptions might change.

I used to share a room with someone who would fall asleep to TV. In the UK after the last show of the night there would be beep tone for a long time and then it would just be static, no signal.

This lead to me having a recurring nightmare which I also got for a long time into adulthood, seeing the tone as 1/2D line, flowing along nicely, and then the static would screw it up and turn it to knots and I would be unsuccessful in making it turn back to a line.
There isn't, but if you are going to learn about computers then you're going to hear a lot about master/slave relationships. If you don't get exposed to that kind of jargon then it wouldn't surprise me if you don't have that connotation as strongly and instead only thought of master as in "mastery" or the degree after a bachelors.
Given the Jepson article on the front page and a database announcement, any plans to either Jepson this or consult with Kyle to have it done?
It is a theoretical harm. Securities law focuses on "obviously lost money" such as not being able to sell at the highs when you own the stock. This is very different from the theoretical price ceiling caused by retail FOMO. Otherwise every person on earth could sue to claim they were harmed by not being able to buy.

From the SEC's POV, a single brokerage stopping buying still means there was an open market. Robinhood FOMOers used margin accounts and instant deposit feature to drive the price up until Robinhood could no longer afford the loans they were offering. Fidelity never stopped allowing buys because they could afford the settlement collateral.

Your paying higher taxes contributes likely more to the community than another store.

Your paying a local charity usually does much more to the community than even running a gym.

If you run a store or a cafe by just paying locals to work in it, using a part of your high wages, it's pretty helpful. But see the charity above; maybe it's better to support e.g. educators.

In general, your community is never better off if you suddenly become poorer.

Perhaps not consciously, but I take NBER research on causes of autism as seriously as NIH research on causes of recessions.
I did a -lot- of research on a house about 1500 feet of a freeway.

It seemed to me nearly all of it was correlative. Which is fine, as it may be true.

But very few corrected for the fact freeways often run through the worst areas in town, which could mean nutrition, drugs, alcohol, lead paint, asbestos, heck about anything else bad about living in older, run down areas.

That paper seems to be for the obsolete Mir-BFT protocol.

When the results degrade, I'll stop using this approach. This feels like an "argument from cynicism" given that there's a widespread feel this gives better results (and intuitively, this feels like microbartering and more as likely to get a reddit post about the phenomenon as acceptance, no not everyone will accept random $100 solicitations, and they're not influential enough for more)
I have tinnitus. Before I had tinnitus I could simply use earplugs. Problem when I sleep: when I use earplugs it presses in my ear and it aggrevates my tinnitus.

Solution:

- Bose QC 35

- Earplugs

Now the earplugs don't get pushed in and don't aggrevate the tinnitus. The bose QC 35 gets pushed onto whatever is directly outside your ear, which is a bit uncomfortable but fine.

This is my new earplugs setup and it works.

> Malachi?

Yes that. I should have remembered. I suppose I'm remembering the sound of it...and wrongfully trusting whatever autocorrect I'm running. Hence Molokai.

Oh, Talmud...second mistake. Old Testament is Torah, right?

Psalms and Esther? Wait yes those come much before Malachi. Esther comes before Job, so Esther, then Job, then Psalms, then Proverbs, then Ecclesiastes, and many others in sequence. Then the last three of the Old Testament are Haggai, Zechariah, and then Malachi. And in fact the way it's set up, in that way, Matthew acts as the fulfillment of Malachi. Last book of

The Hebrew Scriptures

THE OLD TESTAMENT

King James Version

acts as preimage of the first book of

THE NEW TESTAMENT

of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

King James Version

which is interesting, and perhaps contrary to Judaism due to ending the Old Testament on that note. In my reading of the Bible I tried reading Genesis, and realized it was very difficult to read, even scanning it was very difficult. Because I couldn't just treat it like a normal book and disrespect it! Leave it for later better. And further I could not get what I wanted out of Genesis, which a lot of people get out of it, which is a foundation in which to believe. With a very high or even total degree of literarity. Believe, literally, that is.

Instead I said, well perhaps instead I can believe literally in the first book of the New Testament!? And for that I also had to read Malachi, as a bookend so to speak. A question for its answer to make sense. Then I read Matthew and it was beautiful, it was the best, it made sense of so many things and in fact if asked by a convict, which I intend to visit when I figure out how, and not only convicts in prisons but inmates in psych wards too (who don't even get Bibles, I didn't at least, in addition to lobotomistic censorship of the Bible)...when I visit these dark places, I can tell them,

"Don't have to read it all at once. It's not one book, it is dozens of books, just with their covers stuck together so you can take them all together wherever you go. Like here. And in fact, the cover is a rectangle just like the door to your cell, and you can open it almost whenever you want. It is the door to your cell. Just start slowly, first read a letter, a really big single letter that's called "illuminated", we'll read it together. Then if you feel brave, a word above it, to know what we're reading. Now a verse. The Bible is not like a normal book, it doesn't truly have lines, it's not like that. This book is not a real Bible actually, a real Bible is what you remember of it in your head. It is what is in your brain, no use if you don't actually read it, not the most efficient way to decorate a bookshelf."

I don't know what else I'll say to that convict or lunatic. I'll find out when I say it, in the moment.

Ask HN: Is there any good resource on understanding the dreams?
Here's a concrete example why that rule might be wanted:

1. Clearinghouse member A buys 1000 shares at $200 each, costing a total of $200k. On the day of trade (not settlement) they put up $20k in collateral.

2. Clearinghouse member B buys 2000 shares at $200 each, costing a total of $400k. On the day of trade (not settlement) they put up $40k in collateral

3. Something bad happens. The price of the stock drops to $150, and clearinghouse member A goes bankrupt. They're supposed to pay $200k for the shares they bought, but they can't and those shares are now worth $150k, so they owe the clearinghouse $50k. They only put up $20k in collateral so there's a $30k shortfall.

4. The clearinghouse somehow socializes the losses, presumably using some of the collateral from member B to make up the deficit. Now member B is short $30k.

For a small amount they might be able to cover it out of pocket, but if it was sufficiently large they won't be able to. In that case the net result is that the customer had their funds seized (because their funds were used for the clearinghouse collateral) but their brokerage can't pay for the stock. Forcing the brokerage to use their own funds prevents this problem. The brokerage and their creditors might still lose money, but their customers shouldn't be affected.

PipeWire will use SCHED_RR automatically, but Linux mainline is pretty bad at actually delivering consistently low scheduling latency.

As an alternative to increasing latency, especially if you're not running on batteries, try linux-rt. (PREEMPT_RT).

It makes scheduling latency decent. On my machines, the max column in rt-test cyclictest, after running for a day, remains at <100µs, whereas if I use mainline it easily goes to ms range within a minute or two, and I've seen it go as high as 30ms.

linux-rt patchset is slowly getting merged into mainline. I am hopeful that at some point we will be able to build it with PREEMPT_RT, and that desktop kernels in distributions will do that.
Basically, I had just finished coding a Twitter bot called @BreakingCasting which posts fake movie remake casting announcements. I really liked using the TMDB API for that so I figured I'd make another small project along the lines of movies/actors/Hollywood until I came up with something more substantive.

I'm pretty sure I came up with this Wow API in the shower and figured it'd be fun and easy - it ended up being fun and tedious. I started working on it on Valentine's Day, finished in early March. The main motivation to finish was my current project, Hollywoodle (https://hollywoodle.ml/), which I refused to start until the Wow API was done.
yea, my odroid n2 has the same 40 pin header as the pi.
