I’m in the same boat… I’ve never crossed paths with anyone else who is worried about this planets ability to support life in 800M years. It’s weird to me.

Everyone is obsessed with these short time scales. But I’ve yet to see someone propose a viable alternative to human civilization on a 800M year timescale.

Yes, I do believe humans are bringing about the end of the Holocene. But I’m fairly forgiving of the human race on multiple grounds:

1 - life on earth needs a ticket out or it dies in 800M years no matter what. That ticket requires escaping orbit and establishing itself on another rock. I have no reason to believe that any species that evolves to successfully do that would fair better than humanity. It doesn’t matter how far in the future this event is, it’s a critical path for at least one species to follow if life on earth is to end in any way other than complete extinction. If it has to happen - it has to happen. And so far, I haven’t seen many great arguments for viable alternative timelines of human (or non-human) progress that avoid complete extinction in 800M years.

2 - No other species on earth, that I know of, self identifies that it is past the ecosystem’s carrying capacity and attempts to self correct. For example, white tail deer in the Midwest will gladly keep having babies and eat all their food supply. The plants all die. Then the deer all starve. Then the wolves and coyotes all starve. And then the cycle repeats. The deer don’t call international food symposiums to talk about the sustainability of harvesting their food stock. This is a uniquely human trait. Humans are held to a different standard because we know better - which in and of itself is amazing and gives me significant hope.

TL;DR: there isn’t another species that I’d bet on to do a better job at saving all life on earth than what humans are already doing. Yes we have work to do, of course we have work to do, because we are literally life on earth’s only (risk adjusted) chance. If you’re not trying to sustainably save life on earth, what are you advocating for?
Sounds like the dev team has a lot of work to do then
Extra note here, I've been running my olympus em5 mk-2 with the drivers Olympus released to run it as a web camera and its been working just fine, out of the box. I got an extra dummy battery to power it (cannot be powered though usb) so I have no worries of it dying during a long meeting.

in a remote office world, I'm glad my team leaves their cameras on and I view it as a form of professionalism to present myself as best I can, and if that's not following a dress code and keeping trim in an office, its giving good video quality in online meetings.

You can't statically link glibc and you shouldn't statically link openssl or libcrypto, and Linux distributions make it extremely difficult to do reliably without compiling everything from source.

Mildly worried about both on purpose and by accident.

Not only does the guide not mention it, it seems to actively disagree with you:

> The cargo-outdated tool must be used to check dependencies status. Then, each outdated dependency must be updated or the choice of the version must be justified.

Especially for open source projects, there are also some other arguments against vendoring, see e.g. https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2021/02/19/the-modern-packag...

If there's something that's missing mention, it is imho that the Cargo.lock files should be committed, and also included e.g. in docker builds. (I don't believe in offhanded "cargo update". And even if you did accidentally type it, nothing will be built/executed yet. There's ample opportunity to git restore Cargo.lock.)
The post states:

>"Deus Finance uses DEUS and DEI tokens for their DeFi protocol, where minting 1 DEI requires $1 of collateral. When redeeming, for instance, one DEI, users would get 80% of the value in USDC and 20% in DEUS if USDC was used as collateral for the creation of DEI in the first place."

I've read this same passage 5 times now and I still don't understand it as this sounds very circular. Shouldn't you be able to redeem a stable coin for $1 in whatever currency it is pegged to? Could someone explain how this works?

I've got an iPhone 13 Mini. I brought it, because I suspect that it will be the last small-format phone Apple makes. I figure it's good for a couple of years.

I have a lot of Apple gear (I develop Apple native apps). I tend to use the Mini phone, and the Mini iPad, the most. The rest of the stuff sits around, until it's testing/screenshot time.
This changed in 2019 IIRC. The EU changed its regulation and the 30 minute record limit no longer applies. Furthermore, it was always possible to install custom firmware on many cameras that bypassed this limit. Record limits due to temperature and overheating, though, is a different story.

I've read some cameras still have a timeout when not recording, e.g note on Canon EOS 6D here: https://www.elgato.com/en/cam-link/camera-check
That's understandable. The loss of a loved one is a hell of an emotional charge to process just through sleeping.
True. But looking back - was that rather unusual change in politics, including no new wars started, something that “most impacted your life”?
Took them awhile and it's a mystery why they had no foresight to know this option was needed or at least a way to move laterally, but good that they did something. Anyone that managed to get over the initial freaking out and decide to wait to see should be able to sort something out with this, and I read that they are providing good support helping people with questions.

I’m using a Sony A6300 with 35mm F/1.8 lens and I get a lot of comments about my “webcam”.

I’ve put it next to my monitor and put my meeting on the side of the screen so I look “into” the camera.
Then why not replace "US dollar denominated assets" with "cash and short-dated U.S. government obligations, consisting of U.S. Treasuries with maturities of 3 months or less" in the actual report and have Grant Thornton attest to that?
> Heading into this year, we planned to triple the size of the company.

I wonder what "slow down" means exactly in this context. Complete hiring freeze? 10-50% growth? Even if there was no market downturn, how were they even planning to integrate 3x the people within the company in such a short period of time.
For me the more problematic aspect of the 4a is the updates it’s receiving make it so much slower. For instance at this point opening the camera takes around 3s, and the shutter button lags 2s as well.

Going back yo the previous OS would fix that, but it was also buggy and missing proper support for the new gesture navigation. I love the phone but it also makes me hate Google so much.
This is a killer idea. However , I do not see anything in the README about distributed querying. Is that something you wish to tackle?

Also, any benchmarks comparing this to Apache Arrow or Apache Presto?
Or is it that marketing has been telling customers that bigger is better for the past decade? I wouldn't give too much credit to an average consumer.

> But is there a "proper camera" for under $100 that can also offer an improvement over a webcam?

no just buy an off the shelf web camera if that's all you're willing to budget.

but for those of us with these cameras already becuase we enjoy photography, this dual use is quite nice!
Yeah surprised no one else here mentioned Roblox, they seem to be flying under a lot of people's radar but they're a completely terrible company.
> Margins may be poorer with Mini,

But they don't necessarily have to be. We've never had an option where, for the same price, you could choose screen sizes. There's a sizable portion of people for whom larger phones are simply difficult to use. Would I have paid an extra $50 for my iPhone 12 mini? Yep, because I was buying based on the size, not the price.

This is so weird compared to 20 years ago, where the smaller the phone was, the more expensive it was. The big bulky phones were a sign that you couldn't afford the smaller one. A few friends joke that I couldn't afford a 'real' phone when I pull out my 12 mini, which... is nuts because I bought it outright, and a couple of them worry about 'when can I upgrade? oh, let me check how many more payments I have on this current model'.
The only way to peg it is to always be willing to give someone a $1 for one, which will drive the price towards a $1 assuming you can convince people to buy them.

The problem is that this coin won't give you $1 - assuming they're allowing redemption at all, it will give you .80c worth of coinbase's USDC and .20c worth of DEUS tokens. If you believe DEUS is going to crash, that means the value of DEI is 80c maximum through USDC.

Coinbase is of course is dire straits as its stock has plummeted from ~$360 (it's all time high) in early november to $130 in early may and is currently sitting at around $70, so while it isn't a coin, the future of USDC is tied to coinbase and the future of USDC is unknown especially if its parent company is floundering and stock is down to ~20% of its high in november and down ~73% YTD. I would describe their situation as "volatile".

DEUS had already lost more than 50% of its value between the beginning of April ($1100) and the beginning of May ($420 ha!), and its continuing on its way down ($200 currently).

So not sure how they can maintain a peg when 20% of that peg is in 'currency' that is in free fall, and the other 80% is tied to coinbase whose stock is in freefall this year. They never had any currency backing it at all - it was always coinbase's USDC and DEUS which is the 'luna' of DEI's 'terra'.
Agreed very nearly in full.

Though on something being obligately dependent on some input or process: if that is one of a very small number of uses and both supply and consequence effects can be managed (e.g., we won't run out of supply in any conceivably meaningful timeframe and we can manage consequences), that usage might persist.

Limiting petroleum usage to material feedstocks could be tolerable if:

- That occurs at rates such that exhaustion isn't a meaningful risk.

- Any environmental impacts, including but not limited to CO2 emissions, are compensated for.

Those are themselves both steep requirements, but not utterly inconceivable.

The pre-industrial utilisation of natural oil and tar seeps for uses such as lamp oil, sealing ships hulls, and the like, seem to me to have been at least reasonable. It wasn't until we started shipping the material in bulk within and between countries that major problems started emerging.

That said: ice-core studies have detected atmospheric CO2 shifts and heavy metal contamination (mostly mercury and lead) dating to paeleolithic times (presumably from deforestation) and Roman mining activities during the Republic and Empire periods. Activities we think of as de minimus may in fact not be.
I’ve solved most compatibility problems with several camera brands (and their drivers) by simply using a hardware HDMI->USB video capture/processing card or stick. Then I can mount it as a generic video device and not install drivers at all, allowing me to switch cameras out at will.
I have practiced Autogenic Training for years on and off; for the past two years I have been practicing it regularly. I have observed very positive effects on my life, particularly a growing sense of confidence and enjoyment in and for life. When physical and emotional tensions are let go, old memories come back vividly in my mind, new hopes emerge, and my life seems to be made up of fragments that, on the whole, seem to make sense. My tension headaches are gone, poof, vanished.

Autogenic training is an easy practice, much easier than traditional meditation practices, the teachings of which are, at least to my Western mind, impenetrable. I have read quite a few books on meditation, breathing, jhanas (sp?), listened to practitioners and teachers, and for the life of me I cannot make sense of 95 percent of it. In part, I think, my confusion occurs because those teachings don't make a lot of sense, there is an intellectual short-circuit that causes people to create concepts and practices that don't make sense because they have to "chase" or follow or build on other concepts and practices that don't make a lot of sense. A vicious circle of nonsense.

Something similar happens in martial arts. Movies and books showed the mystical and magical abilities of traditional martial arts practitioners: breathing, ki energy, horse postures, "watch how the eagle soars." I think, at least for Westerners, the pinnacle and climax was reached with Bruce Lee, who philosophized and kicked (but never on stage against other "experts") at the same time. And not with the brutal methods of Western boxing, but with a single finger.
But, as we saw in mixed martial arts fights, empiricism-as usual and as expected-won out against magic, spirits and brutal training that made no sense; fighters who trained following empirical methods of training and fighting (develop the methods, test them, accept them if they work, abandon them if they don't) were throwing traditional martial arts practitioners out the proverbial window.

I would encourage many of those who have tried traditional meditation for years and faced all sorts of problems, from losing months to developing pathological conditions, to try Autogenic Training instead: easy, rewarding, accessible. And it works.
I feel like that has been the problem with the Mini. I love mine (which I got because I was fed up with Pixel and Android in general), but I know I only have it because I got in at the right time. My wife bought an iPhone at the wrong time and hers is comically large. She would have happily bought an iPhone Mini if it had been available that year. By the time she needs a new iPhone, it will be another year where the only options are gigantic.
Why TF is the device tree in some patch from John Doe on IRC and not in an official download on the manufacturer's website?
Not for $100, but a Sony A5100 with 16-50 lens can be bought for $400 over here, and will produce a great image. It is very similar to the A6000 but it a bit more compact, less features and a cheaper build.
You don't see an issue that USDC has not had a real audit for that $52 billion?

I could say my pencil is worth $52 billion and therefore I have the assets to cover $52 billion USDC and that would be the same as their 'transparency' reports which don't itemize a single asset, just an 'attestation' that the amount is covered.
I don't make my phone my life, and the 12 Mini has enough battery for me. I charge it every other day, but I have to admit it feels it holds less charge than my old iPhone 8.

I only use it for Whatsapp, bathroom break HN and a few calls a week. Everything else I do from my PC. Also, performance is great for me, I'm not planning on running games or k8s on my mobile.

EDIT: looks like you're talking about the 13 mini, I got the 12 mini, which IIRC has similar battery life complaints. Not sure if it got worse with the latest iteration.
Bitches leave.

Zoom just bought Solvvy, so perhaps not.
I had to replace my phone because of the AT&T 3g shutdown and the fact that no company is going to pay AT&T to approve their old phone models. I got a S10E for pretty much the same reason: small, SD card, headphone jack, and resolution at least 1080x1920.

I tried searching for a modern phone that still has all this and there's nothing. The best I could find is a current Motorola phone; most of them still have jacks and SD cards and some have reasonable resolution, but they're all large size. Some of them also support the FM radio chip if you want that.
Here is a catchy tune that was a pop hit (topping Billboard Hot 100 in U.S.) ten years ago, it can be the inspiration for your next trip to the used clothing store, the message is timeless. (lyrics are NSFW)

>> It's pretty easy to build an echo chamber that agrees smaller phones are preferred and make it appear as though there's a decent amount of us, but the simple fact is, people like us are in the minority, and it shows in the iPhone sales.

I'm not sure about that. This could be due to the marketing/positioning i.e. Apple first switched to producing bigger phones (with more features/power) which caused people to buy these bigger phones (there were no smaller & newer phones).

After some complaints, Apple produced a smaller version of their phone but they market it as one with less features (smaller battery, smaller processor, etc).

If Apple devoted resources to producing smaller sized phones with comparable features as the Pro, the statistics might be different. To be clear, a larger phone will always have some edge but the minis should not be clearly designed as a step down version phone
Not everyone wants a phone that they have to operate two-handed -- particularly those with small hands to begin with.
It's boggling to me that everyone is so entirely convinced of this fact. Check out this paper from google where they observe this exact process occurring in their CPUs at scale: https://sigops.org/s/conferences/hotos/2021/papers/hotos21-s...

Given their conclusion that this is the result of manufacturing tiny process transistors, it follows that this can occur in GPUs as well.

Safety is easy.

I download remotely, then have local snag from remote. Local is a custom server, on Pi, on an isolated network (with its own cable modem).

Once the Pi receives a file, it transmits it over a modified optical link, where I cut the receive line on the sending nic board.

Checksums are simple, and sent via email back to the remote server, checked, and I am alerted of wrong.

My media PC is all that is connected to that local network.
Seconding Camo. It's not as cheap as the Elgato offering but I found the quality and options to be superior.
That's 2cm on my current phone (XZ1 compact) which also has relatively big bezel and it's right at the limit of being able to be controlled with one hand.
“4 hour screen on time”

That seems crazy low. I have an iPhone Mini (and would switch back to Android when I replace it if they have a mini quality phone and Apple doesn’t) and my battery lasts “all day.” I’m not sure how it works out in terms of screen on time, but it’s got to be at least 6 hours a day. Probably more.

Some competitive (PvP) games are basically imperfect chess. Just like you'd learn chess, and eventually move on to studying matches, you would do the same with some (PvP) video games, like DotA etc.

On the other hand you could literally have a game to see how long you can keep pushing a big read button (dopamine inducing effects and sounds included of course!).

The variance is huge. We couldn't make a blanket general statement about brain development from tabletop games that include say Snap / War, Checkers, and Chess. And that's not even a sliver of the variance video games gave.

P.S. I'm by no means a gaming advocate. IMO video games are becoming (have become) Vegas 2.0 and I could list a huge number of potential negatives.
I think that's confusing means and ends.

The point of stablecoins is to have something that's the same value as a dollar, but which can interface with ("all the wonderful magic of") smartcontracts.

One way to achieve that is to have a big trusted organization honor redemption on demand. (GUSD and, I think but don't quote me, USDC.)

Another way is for an org to consistently honor enough redemptions (but not on an on-demand basis) that it trades at par (USDT, for now).

Another (dubious, increasingly unreliable) way is for some cryptocurrency to automatically buy the stablecoin when it falls below par (TerraUSD/UST with LUNA, already failed).[1]

Yet another is to issue the stablecoin only in return for a significant collateral buffer (with other cryptocurrencies) and force sellbacks when the collateral gets too close to critical (DAI and, I think, FEI, not to be confused with the DEI in this story).

[1] TerraUSD's platform had the Ponzi-esque Anchor paying 20% returns, but is stabilizing mechanism did not (attempt to) depend on this in any direct sense.

This is absurd. Naturopaths devote their lives to health and medicine, just to serve their former colleagues who are hundreds of times richer than them? If you actually paid attention to real policy and the sort of practices naturopaths actually want, you'd notice a huge disconnect.

A lot of people practice things that they feel genuine and sincere about and they can even build entire institutions around those practices... doesn't mean anything if what they're doing doesn't have a measurably positive impact and there doesn't need to be any malice involved whatsoever. If anything, the people I know who believe in homeopathy are among the nicest and most honest people who deeply care about health, and yet... they are still full of crap.
TBH I don't use gesture navigation so that doesn't matter to me. I just hate Android 12 because it forced ugly gray backgrounds on me. I miss being able to see the active application under my notification shade and to see my wallpaper behind the app switcher.
