Your comment made me realize that every failure i considering it as high stakes...

As for John Danaher, he's seems an interested character. For a while now i want to listen his conversations with Lex Fridman, and also the 3hour long conversation he did with two other martial artists.
Pulseaudio lets you turn any device into a speaker over Bluetooth or IP.
The point of that example wasn't to show if there was a standard library function for it. It was to show the verbosity of writing code that contains if conditions, loops, and generic programming. I obviously could have written:

new BigInteger(n).isProbablyPrime(0);

Have you tried different split keyboards?

From ready to buy: https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/

To 'home-made':
- https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/
- https://splitkb.com/products/kyria-pcb-kit

There are a lot of variations that you can build yourself and find your actual ultimate keyboard.

I run a low-profile Kyria (one wireless and one wired) with a Miryoku (Halmak) layout, as well as a Charybdis Nano with the same layout and the tenting 'kit'. It however took many keyboards to get to the point where I found the ones I truly liked. (It's a money-pit so don't get into it unless you're okay with spending)
I have noticed that people come on here to gloat about things like this due to the pure hatred of crypto flowing through their veins without realizing that they are cheering on regular people suffering ultimately at what will be the expense of big banks and Wall Street and governments.

What I mean is when these cryptos have problems or are hacked, regular people are the ones who stand to lose everything in most cases.

You can believe that people are dumb for “falling for the scam” in the first place and deserve it, but if you really believe that then I feel sorry for you.

It’s pretty obvious and has been for quite some time that the ultimate goal here is for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), and stories like this as well as the UST collapse play right into that hand.

I guess what I’m saying is be careful what you wish for. A government/central bank issued digital currency will be far worse for privacy and security than any of these insignificant stablecoins. Imagine the government deciding when and where you are allowed to access your money or what you are allowed to spend it on and what items or stores you are allowed to shop for/in.

I feel like it is even possible that Wall Street is BEHIND the collapse of these stablecoins. They couldn’t pay for better press to help convince the public that a CBDC is necessary for the future. I suspect the CBDCs are already ready to go, but their last step is convincing the public they need one. The push for a cashless society has been going on for a number of years now and seems amplified lately.
Thanks. The MkDocs docs looks great. Would you be able to point to a sample (python) repo that has various configs etc that I can tweak? When starting with Sphinx + ReadTheDocs this was the most time consuming part , it took me several hours hunting down various docs and examples.

> Importantly, if used, such models would lead to more patients who are Black and female being *incorrectly* identified as healthy

I think this is the point a lot of people are missing; they think, "So what if 'black' correlates to unhealthy and the model notices? It's just seeing the truth!"

However, I'm still wondering how this incorrectness works; can anyone explain?

Edit: Clue: The AI is predicting self-reported race, and the authors indicated that self-reported race correlates poorly to actual genetic differences.
> In general, these guys have correlations, not causation

You can say that for almost every human study that's not drug based, or very short-term.

I thought most keyfobs have a button you need to press to unlock the car? Wouldn't that prevent almost all relay attacks, because the thief typically does not have physical access to the key?
Race as an entire concept to me has always been stupid at best. Sure, there are vast swaths of biological similarities (typically, though not necessarily) according to general geographic regions of the globe, but the real mistake was trying to give this vague concept a label. Can anybody give a definition of what "white" or "black" REALLY means? It's an impossible task. If we're talking just visually about skin color, congratulations, that represents citizens of some 100+ odd countries on the planet and just as many (if not many more!) cultures and languages. But leave it to humans to try and over optimize and try to denote evermore meaningless abstractions...

Let the social "culture war" rage on. The only war I see going on in the west (U.S. mostly) is a _lack_ of culture.
Trash bags and pet waste are two purposes for which most people would otherwise buy new plastic bags. So this definitely qualifies as a reuse.

The real critique is what percentage of bags can actually be reused that way? I can see dog owners keeping up with the constant influx of shopping bags, but I would think anyone else would develop a surplus quite quickly.
> good will.

I think you meant good faith. They didn't use it as an example though, it was just rhetorical.
When I was 14 or something, I learned x86 assembly by writing programs to other programs do things they weren't supposed to do, or things they could do under certain conditions; mainly patching other programs and finding inspiration in source code of a lot of viruses. There are a lot of things one could learn by disassembling.
If that content is sourced from torrents you'll have a lot of disks spinning all the time just to seed tiny chunks so that's not unreasonable.

> a nursing sow in a farrowing crate is able only to stand or lie down, her teats protruding into a separate section where her piglets are kept.

A nursing sow without constraint often injures or kills some of the piglets while trying to care for them, especially new mothers and when the piglets are tiny. I'm not fond of caging animals their entire lives; either; but there's a real reason beyond arbitrary cruelty or even pure efficiency that these things are being done.

But of course we can't let such things as the misuse of facts detract from "The Socialist Feminist Case for Animal Liberation"
It’s peg is isn’t entirely accurately described as $1.

> Tether charges a 0.1% fee for withdrawals up to a maximum of $1,000, which means Tether is redeemable at $0.99 for up to $1 million, and then $1 above $1million in terms of money in the bank.

Plus a $100k minimum to withdraw and a $150 fee for KYC.
You can. But you need to host it with a nodejs server.
>Criminals are much less likely to engage in MITM attacks

Can you provide a source, or even just reasoning, to why this would be true? In my experience, MiTM is a common enough attack vector used by criminals.
> Outliners are used in this area for decades. What we have now is just a new hype-cycle, with new apps, new technologies and a new mix of features.

To say that what we have now is nothing but a new hype cycle while the Zettelkasten method was only widely exposed within the last couple of decades, and was not utilized in the design of past Outliners, shows you don't really understand what's actually changed.
I noticed that DEI is backed with BTC as one of the funding options. I think it's a bit risky to back a stablecoin with a non-stablecoin that can have wild price movements.

Wow, gitlabhost seems also priced quite high if it's just the CE version and not EE. I was thinking some 2-4x multiplier vs just hosting it yourself - not 8x the price.
> That's mostly failure to use C++.

How is it a failure when people just find idiomatic C++ undesirable, exactly because it's very different from C.

Basically, the best C++ feature by a very long mile is that it can in fact be used as an extension of C. That's what made it popular in the first place and that's still "what people want".

If it's a failure, then it's that of the C++ committee evolving the language in an echo chamber.
It's always an option if you have a meaningful amount of money.
Raspberry PIs have had a similar thing with VC-1 and MPEG-2 decoding requiring a small fee for about a decade now. In this case, to cover the patent licensing cost so as to not add it into the base hardware, but paying a fee to unlock features resident in the hardware is not new in computing. (I realize there are likely other/older ones I'm sure, but that was the first in my mind)
The article (which as published today) has a factual error. The author wrote: “New York passed a law decriminalizing marijuana but never got around to issuing licenses or a legal framework to retailers.”

But New York State legalized cannabis in 2021, instead of just decriminalizing it. From The New York Times, published in March 2021 [0]: “After years of stalled attempts, New York State has legalized the use of recreational marijuana, enacting a robust program that will reinvest millions of dollars of tax revenues from cannabis in minority communities ravaged by the decades-long war on drugs.

“Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the cannabis legislation on Wednesday, a day after the State Legislature passed the bill following hours of debate among lawmakers in Albany.”

This may seem like a minor nitpick, but the factual error invites scrutiny over the accuracy of the rest of the article. The author does link sources to the other claims in the article, but I’m now by default skeptical to believe the other assertions in the article until I can evaluate whether their linked sources are legitimate.

Yes, and how do you think that's attainable when the value of the dollar is always in flux, much of the collateral is corporate paper, and trying to liquidate will result in price movement of the underlying collateral?

Frankly, it seems to me stablecoins are a market pipedream.
Yes, that aspect of the design makes it feel like a toy, which is a shame. I've written my own tooling for saving to bridge this gap. It's a Python script that provides a response to an OPTIONS call so Tiddlywiki's native WebDAV support allows seamless saving. It also provides automatic backups and an index page to serve multiple wikis. I've used it for my last two jobs and in my personal life and I'm really happy with it. I hope to make it available publicly in case others find it useful, just haven't gotten around to it.
IMO, Amazon is awful at UI design across the board--including the core shopping experience.
book recommendation:

Unwinding Anxiety by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Jud Brewer MD PhD

Dr. Brewer’s other successes include designed leading programs (highest success rate) for both quitting smoking and weight management. These programs succeed by making explicit the emotional landscapes driving counterproductive habits. The book unwinding anxiety does the same for anxiety.
All of this usually stem from lack of passion or goal in other areas of life.

I’m always up for a productive discussion, but there are two paragraphs of text before the one you’re childishly replying to, which you dishonestly chose to ignore in order to make a childish personal attack. Just like you chose to ignore the qualifiers written in the article in your original post. Sorry, but you don't get to cry foul and say you're being "dragged to court" when you're caught misquoting and then misrepresenting someone's position with a strawman. Either be honest or accept someone calling you out.

If you're really asking for an arguments: the fact you had to edit the quote should be enough clue that the original statement wasn't as clear cut as you're portraying. The fact people disagreed with you (with downvotes or comments) should also point to that. Maybe take a second to consider that you were uncharitable to the author and they're not as stupid and as extremist as you're painting them.
>People were paying for browsers. It was the norm before Microsoft gave away Internet Explorer for free,

No, not really. Most people paid $0 for web browsers even in the early Netscape's days in October 1994. That was Netscape's deliberate intention and was stated in their press release:
https://web.archive.org/web/20061207145832/http://wp.netscap...

Personal use was free. Netscape intended for businesses to pay for the browser. Both the older Mosaic browser and Netscape Navigator were free for non-commercial use in 1994. Free browsers were the norm before the Browser Wars of 1995 kicked off with MS releasing Internet Explorer 1.0.
> racial bias in x-ray reading?

no, it implies there is a signal in the dataset that could be something other than clinical. This means that until they can pinpoint the cause, or the thing the AI is detecting, all the other things it predicts are suspect.

ie if the AI thinks the subject is west african, then it might be more inclined to diagnose something related to sickle cell.

Or north western european woman in her mid 60s vs a japanese woman might get widly different bone density readings for the same level of "blob" (most medical imaging is divining the meaning of blobs and smears )

> So if I stopped pirating I'd have saved $1200 ...

Only if you stopped pirating before that point, otherwise you're describing a sunk cost fallacy. Which is not to discount your current opex.

Though $45 in power, I'm guessing you're in the USA?, does seem very high for a mostly idle CPU and a small volume of spinning rust + cooling.
I believe you’re inverting race and ethnicity.

From national geographic: “Race” is usually associated with biology and linked with physical characteristics such as skin color or hair texture. “Ethnicity” is linked with cultural expression and identification.
Wow, thanks for this. Qbasic was also my first language which was introduced to me by a kid in my cousin’s neighborhood growing up (along with IRC). I remember being absolutely fascinated by the language (and programming in general), but didn’t totally understand what i was doing. I remember trying to make a Zelda clone and then becoming baffled at the notion of z-order when I couldn’t figure out why my grass (aka green rectangle) wouldn’t render underneath my character.

Thanks for the article, glad to know I wasn’t alone in this early influence.

The term "scaling" has very different meanings depending on context and how one product scales is very different from another.

You could setup a context that favors push vs pull and vice versa, you can also see different products scaling well or not depending on slight variations in context and implementation.

Which ones can you think of? Keep in mind the article is talking about markets and fiscal health of the company itself, not society as a whole. It's pretty easy to make the case "society would be better if we did the beneficial things", the question at hand is whether it's the governments place to push these on private actors.

I wonder if some communities use certain x-ray machines verses which machines are commonly used by other communities and this has nothing to do with race but the machine being used. I read over the paper but didn't really understand it. Maybe all this is doing is identifying which machine was used.
> Almost nobody sees board members, and certainly nobody sees their achievements (which is needed to demonstrate capability). And visibility/perception of capability hasn't been needed in the past. Women have stormed institutions that were male bastions once.

Won't other board members see their achievements, and aren't board members responsible for choosing new members? Having women there should work to make their peers realize that being a woman is not by itself a handicap for the position (contrarily to the tradition of irrational beliefs that it does).

No, it's compound interest. Getting the ball rolling is important so that the process will increase speed by building on the previous efforts, until reaching the point where the artificial pressure is no longer needed.

Because reusable bags also require more carbon to produce. According to the article, in order for a reusable cotton bag to save carbon compared to a single-use plastic bag, the cotton bag needs to be reused 132 times! That's a lot of shopping trips!

I used to love making new levels for Nibbles when I was a kid. Not to mention changing up the color palettes and such. Gorillas.bas wasn't as much fun to mod though. Not much to change really. QBasic was just such an easy way to learn programming. I think my Dad started me on it when I was 7 when I wanted to make my own version of DOOM or something.

I remember programming my computer to do my math homework for me. It would take me hours to code up a solution for a piece of math that would ordinarily take 10 minutes. If you told the kid version of me about OCR and artificial intelligence I think she would have been trying to get that working on homework too.

Exactly, thats the thing people seem to look past. A stable-coin could theoretically be entirely stable up until they were absolutely insolvent. They just allow redemption and treat everything as business as usual until their collateral runs out. Then they close up shop and everyone else gets 0.
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep a reference to this. I will say that it's still unlikely that I tackle this myself anytime soon. I'm a single programmer, and not all that fast at that. Lots of more basic stuff to do on Bike, and iOS version... going to keep me busy for a while.
Nobody lets me pay for content. They're all tying themselves in contractual knots trying to find the most lucrative deal, and meanwhile it's impossible to just buy a movie or a TV show without shipping a physical disc.

I go to e.g. the South Park website, and I'm greeted by an error message saying they're "working hard to resolve [their] pre-existing contractual obligations," which is the same message they've shown for years. Thanks for trying, I guess, but if I pirated it then I'd just...watch the show, from start to finish, with all seasons and all episodes, no wasteful physical media, no subscription, no data collection, and no ads. That sounds good. I want to be able to pay money, maybe even quite a lot of money, and do that.

When does Elon become the boy who cried wolf? What if he just wanted to harm twitter or just show that rules don’t apply to him? Can people see him as a business partner, or just hope he buys them out and take over the problem(s)?

Forgive my ignorance, but aren’t all users “unreal” in the sense that they’re not paying and often not posting to any significant group? Hasn’t the internet trained people to ignore ads? Or is twitter seen as just the 21st century cable news channel?

Wasn’t there a meme that half of all advertising was ineffective but nobody knew which half?
