Be careful mate. I'm an expat with a lot of French friends, so I smoked socially for ten years. Could never imagine how someone could smoke all day, as it felt disgusting, but a few cigarettes on a night out once a week was nice. Like I said, did that for ten years. So did my girlfriend. Then she tried vaping and I tried snus. Both addicted. 2 years in, on and off. The amount of wasted time and effort spent on, and irritability from, trying to quit, has been such a waste.

Addictions are weird. Nicotine is hell to quit, but it's mostly mental. I build it up in my head to be some impossible thing, but it's really not. Cigarettes seem to have a grip on people far more insidious than snus or vaping, though.

The real reason it's hard to stay off is the modern world we choose to live in. Full of stressors and always just a minute or click away from relapsing.

Sometimes I think about how bad it would be to be an alcoholic. You wouldn't even be able to turn on the TV and relax without a beer commercial ruining your mindset. You leave your house and see a billboard. You get fed up, strength depleted, and walk in the woods to get away from all the reminders to drink. You see a spent can...

Eeem... i have used Brython, maybe you will like it just as much as I do, i am not that sure how is it in performance yet to do minimal updates on text fields, handling butons and the like (as 99% of the web) it does just fine, you can even have animations. Finally front end code looks "clean" instead of looking like a project for computer science 101 as ... well 99% of the web hahaha

Anyways, I'm just here to say, corporate security teams are definitely not OK with you doing a rogue Tailscale install, and that's as it should be.

You might be shocked at how often I get "can you deploy a tarsnap server on port 443? My company's security team won't let me connect to your server on port 9279" requested.

I mean, it's trivial to bounce the TCP connection... but I'm not going to help subvert security policies.
Great for Python developers, not so great for everyone else.

This is something I find common in the Python ecosystem. There seem to be a lot of choices made more for the benefit of the developers than the end users. Even getting a Python app with some idiosyncratic build system to run can be a challenge sometimes.
I have a vague recollection of Microsoft and/or ActiveState enabling Perl as a browser language. For a time there was an ActiveX interface for a bunch of script languages like Perl and Tcl.
Anyone know if we can run termux on a Fire Stick?
Free healthcare (i.e. paid for by taxes) would certainly make me vote to eliminate known harmful things. I don't want to pay for your choices. It's more than moral legislation then.
Mozilla needs to learn how to innovate from Brave. If Mozilla's mission statement includes an open internet, why haven't they considered working on a search engine? An open, transparent search engine would be as much if not more impactful on the web today.

As with most of Mozilla's problems, it seems the impediment is the sweet sweet Google billions rolling in every year without any regard to the work they're putting in.

It really is a lot more practical. Most webapp devs using SQL databases spend a bunch of time engineering some notional failover into their app that's completely undermined by using a non-HA datastore, a bunch more time mapping data to and from square tables where it doesn't really fit, and end up with a system that's still last-write-wins at the user-facing level. And the ones where it isn't aren't because they used those SQL transactions, but because they wrote their own versioning layer on top.

You are impressed that someone predicted a war in 2014, and it happened...?

I predict there will be a recession in the next 8 years! And another war!

I also predict there will be food insecurity in the developing world!

And bad things will happen to countries and ships, somewhere on the globe! Probably including Iran!

What do I expect from an expert prognosticator? Opinions with the potential to be wrong. Numbers or quantitative statements help a lot.
I am gonna get one and use it with my current (arguably not as intense as it should be) exercise regimen.

Very interesting how such a simple thing can add right up over time. Thanks again.
I was a game counselor, which gave me light GM powers (like teleporting people to jail).

Thats all I got to the story. Didn’t participate in the lawsuit .
I for sure appreciate your points, but my anecdotal experience is I smoked for ~15 years and I really didn't want to quit. Eventually I got a family going and realized I needed to consider it and, boom, I tried a Juul - it replaced them 1:1. I am in the same boat in that cigarettes are repulsive to me now but this ruling would be like taking away my ability to buy a pack of Marlboro lights, suddenly overnight, back when I smoked. It is just frustrating that they want to suddenly take this product down from a convenience store, but the wall of actual cigarettes next to it seems to be ok?
Yea, the flavor thing is weird to me too. When I was in the Navy, a lot of the people I worked with swapped over to vaping and even 45 year old Senior Chiefs were vaping some dragon fruit passion shit.
We are not using libfortran not gdpr, we are basically using whatever libraries are available for the web. Since most data scientists don't want to use JS per se, you can build the apps as blocks in the Hal9 site or using a soon-to-be-released Python/R package, see https://notebooks.hal9.com

To add to iaw's response, it's worth noting that a large amount of value flower has is in relation to it's presentation and appearance. Trimming of flower is done to both remove excess plant material as well as create a more favorable product for consumers.

Because this process of trimming is necessary for the sale of flower, any vertically integrated business that both grows and sells their own flower will inevitably create this excess of trim byproduct.
Consistently I’m unable to use Tailscale on a GCP instance and also use GCP services cleanly, because it messes with the DNS route to the metadata server. Otherwise, it’s a great product.
Neither of those options fix this issue. Cartridge metals can seep into the vape material over time or after elements have been heated up a few times; testing won't catch that. Making your own distillate, similarly, won't protect you against heavy metals in the cartridge.
Sign me up. I’m already on the annual flu vaccine train. Frankly I don’t want to have to miss work for a week, and there’s no way to know if I’d have a light case or not.

Chewing tobacco is about just as fast without I assume engineering or maoi.
The problem with code vs no-code is that the only barrier it removes is the code. The “code” is the easy part.

Coding is like writing a story in a way and imagining the story is what’s hard. Whether it’s written in code, pictures, graphs, or grunts is irrelevant. No-code will not make a good story teller. Sure you will lower the barrier for those with little imagination telling small tales, but it will not help in the epic adventures.
I'm not/haven't been a smoker, but appreciate the anecdotal reassurance that the urge to smoke doesn't have to be something that lingers with people who quit.

I think you see similar things with alcohol addiction. As I understand, AlAnon has the philosophy that people are lifetime alcoholics, even if they haven't drank in years. Perhaps that is true for some, but the tendency to sensationalize that into a universal truism seems like it does more harm than good.

That said, negative habits and motivation are odd things. In support of those on the other end of the spectrum, where being told "You can just do it, use your grit and resolve and don't dwell," can lead to feelings of inadequacy and failure when it isn't so easy for them, well there's no one right path to growth and change. Just don't lose hope and keep looking for what works for you.
Regenerative braking negates much of the weight penalty in cars.
Inhalation force or speed are not relevant factors. The amount of vapor produced is entirely based on heat transfer and the properties of the oil. You don't even need to be inhaling for the device to produce vapor, but when you finally do, it's the same amount as if you were inhaling the whole time -- though the vapor will taste "scorched" after letting it sit in the chamber over multiple seconds of heating.
The NYT has its problems, but I think you've overcorrected a few hundred degrees too far here.
I'm not entirely convinced that "early detection" results in anything but more worry, more time in doctors' offices and clinics, more time taking very unpleasant medicine, more time undergoing surgery, and absolutely devastating financial consequences.
Give it a few days and lucidrains will have the code up[0].

But in honesty, it is probably how people react. We saw this with Pulse, GPT, and many others. The authors are clear about the limitations but people talk it up too much and others shit on it. There's also a reproducibility crisis in ML (many famous networks, like Swin[1][2][3], can't be reproduced (even worse when reviewers concentrate on benchmarks)). It isn't like many can train a model like this anyways. It gives them benefit of the doubt and maintains good publicity rather than controversial.

Of course, this is extremely bad from an academic perspective and personally I believe you should have your paper revoked if it isn't reproducible. You'd be surprised how many don't track the random seed or measure variance. We have GitHub. You should be able to write training options that get approximately the same results as the paper. Otherwise I don't trust your results.

What Was BeOS, and Why Did People Love It? (2021)

If all you’re worried about is Medicaid expenditures, seems like you should be encouraging people to start smoking en masse.
Right, I get that, but you could have done the two config things I just mentioned with OpenSSL.

I get why you didn't use OpenSSL. The normal thing for someone like you to do in 2022 would be to use Noise.

Yeah, seems to be a sign that the old guard tobacco lobby has their talons sunk in a good deal deeper than the newcomer vaping lobby.

I know what DIP switches or configuration pin headers do. For one, I've never heard them referred to as DIP PIN switches like PIN is some kind of acronym - perhaps DIP pin switch is some kind of regionalism. But that was not the confusion:

>> "Ask a new hot shot programmer to do dip-switches and IRQs etc"...

Ok.

>> let alone be able to tell you a PIN switch on a mobo for IRQ settings (PRE IPv4)

After the first part about dip-switches and IRQs this makes it sound like "PIN switch" is something distinct. Further confusing, I still have no idea what PRE IPv4 means here. The only IPv4 I've heard of is internet protocol and not something I would associate with PC hardware configuration. (IPv4 was released pretty much at exactly the same time as the original IBM PC in 1981).

> IRQ3 was typically the modem

IRQ3 was more specifically the 2nd set of serial UARTs COM2/COM4 - with the IO base port assignment 2F8h and 2E8h. COM1/COM3 was IRQ 4 (base ports 3F8h, 3E8h). So a modem may very well been on IRQ 4. In practice it was often dependent on whether one was a using a serial vs PS/2 mouse.
Electricity demand must rise dramatically if we want to decarbonize the economy. Everything that uses fossil fuels today needs to use electricity in the near future. Of course that doesn't mean that primary energy demand needs to rise, on the contrary, heat pumps and EVs are much more efficient than their fossil counterparts.

Just gonna say that your original comment definitely reads like the tone that you’re pretending to have here, so it might actually just be you.
Tangential thought, I miss when Hackernews comments provided references more. Maybe I’m just an old person.

Regardless, research has show being obese or overweight is by and large preventable.

> Overweight and obesity, as well as their related noncommunicable diseases, are largely preventable. Supportive environments and communities are fundamental in shaping people’s choices, by making the choice of healthier foods and regular physical activity the easiest choice (the choice that is the most accessible, available and affordable), and therefore preventing overweight and obesity. [1]

However, compared to smoking it is an issue that affects more people and has been addresses muuuch less

> The study reveals that obesity is linked to very high rates of chronic illnesses — higher than living in poverty, and much higher than smoking or drinking. [2]

> In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight. Of these over 650 million adults were obese. [1]

I should listen to the whitewashing of an insider (who at least financially benefited from Juul’s rise, at worst was personally involved in some of the very shady campaigns), instead of looking at cold hard evidence like the fact that they paid schools in order to talk to school children directly about their “health benefits”? I should take their word that their marketing was highly incompetent and couldn’t achieve anything, yet somehow accidentally trumped all competition and got millions of kids hooked on their product, opening up a whole new market segment, which would be any marketing team’s wet dream? Fuck no.

What benefit does it give me over running table diff query in SQL?

select * exclude (date_uploaded) from dev_table
except
select * exclude (date uploaded) from prod_table

or

select *
from (select * exclude (date_uploaded) from dev_table) dev
natural full join
(select * exclude (date_uploaded) from prod_table) prod
where dev.date_uploaded is null
or prod.date_uploaded is null

The only issue with the above is that EXCLUDE/EXCEPT is missing from standard SQL and even from market leaders like Snowflake, making this a massive pain in the ass. Second, natural joining in presence of null fields is going to produce a mess instead of something useful. Again - analytics db providers would rather boast about adhering to an ancient standard from the 1970s than listening to users and actually making SQL work after all those decades of pain.

Without the stupid default behavior of SQL, this wouldn't be a problem. I'm curious if Data Diff solves this or some other use case.

“With what they perceive in media.” I notice even in defense you say their threats are “perceived”.
>The next time you think to say "correllation does not imply causation"

I didn't write that phrase precisely because people turn off their brains and learn nothing from it! It's become worthless.

The alternative to A -> B is B -> A, or C -> A and B.

You seriously think that running through those possibilities in your head is "dogmatism"?

Who then is the authority on which one of those is privileged and which require further research to validate, when they are all consistent with the evidence so far?
A lot of the work porting these libs to wasm has already been done. But you can’t expect every Python program to just run.

Do you have an example of a different economic system where people don't have any of those issues?
Very interesting. Great to see you leverage the circle you had to take the business to the next level. One thing I have a buddy of mine is he is unable to scale or secure big contracts. We have a slightly different business than yours, instead of creating remote teams for US companies, we abstract that requirement all together! We instead work exactly what the requirements are and take it to completion. We offer on monthly basis for tech support and its an on going thing.

What tips/resource would you have to gain into the market to secure work at US corporation who work with Accenture/Wipro/TCS firms? What makes them 'approved list of contractors' to get work done as hiring is absolute pain the US and slow, along with talent shortage. We, currently, do not have a network that have higher reaches in firms. Currently, we are only able to secure smaller contracts via freelancing website, e.g. Elance, Freelancer, etc.
It bothers me that foundation models are not decentralised. While it's too dangerous to distribute these models generally to the public (because that would increase the amount of fiction in the world), the technology continues to improve regardless, albeit in secret. Seems inevitable that what is being built is an AI god - an intelligence that demands trust and faith in it since we're merely spectating the rise of AGI rather than being allowed to augment ourselves with it. But I suppose that a warning is better than no warning, so thanks G.
I mean when everyone is the same, you're not going to have a lot of discussions about this.

You also end up having awful products :)
Awesome. I hope that I won't have to wait long in line to get it.
"unsupported" sounds more like not truthful, but unknown make it seems like it's unexplored.
You can do it pretty much verbatim, with dynamic dispatch using enums and lots of pattern matching.

It gets a bit trickier when you are nesting environments for closures and the like, but certainly nothing insurmountable without a few things from the standard library.

Well smoking is a well known appetite suppressant:

I’m of the opinion that the obesity epidemic and the large decrease in smoking in the US are not unrelated.
Correction, that quote is by Barrie Sherman, not Endfield.

Sherman has a book with Phillip Judkins:

Glimpses of heaven, visions of hell : virtual reality and its implications

London : Coronet, 1993.

Summary: The authors ask what virtual reality is and the effects it may have on our lives. They look at the technology, finance, designers, manufacturers and users; and at the consequences of VR in the workplace, in education, in military and medical establishments and on the wider shores of recreation.

Institutional investors often actually like being able to invest in assets that aren't subject to public market fluctuations based on speculation, sentiment, derivatives, proxy disputes, where any share transactions are strictly controlled and repurchase rights themselves are tightly bartered between various share classes.

Ultimately, the kind of wash sale you're talking about only applies when sophisticated accredited investors pump the price and dump to unaccredited unsophisticated investors. Institutional investors must know better, or (to the benefit of other institutions), they don't remain fit enough to be an accredited institutional investor for very long.

Regulators lie downstream from, and are often directly captured by this sort of jockeying for power between large institutional investors and their turf wars (SEC/CFTC -> private sector financial services/banking pipeline). So regulation isn't always an effective answer for these kinds of incentive problems.
> But there is another aspect of the language that makes it so desirable from his standpoint: it can be extended with binary extensions that use an API that is written in C, but can be accessed from other languages. He likens Python to "a Honda Civic with mounting bolts for a warp drive". So the language can be picked up by kids who can then pop open the trunk "and bolt on warp nacelles" that allows the code to run faster than C or C++ in some cases, Wang said.
>
> That aspect is sometimes overlooked, but it means that Python can be used in ways that other, similar languages cannot. "It's not just like Node, it's not just an alternative to Ruby".

Both node and Ruby have a comprehensive C API, this is a very common language feature since binding to native libraries is unavoidable. Is there actually anything different about python here?

Yup this is what needs to be tested, in other words can cancers be detected early enough so that people are more likely to be cured with treatment. Secondary benefits of detecting early are needing less extensive surgery, less intensive chemotherapy and radiation, less expensive next generation therapies in the long run.

We should also remember that the assays are improving all the time.

Having said all this, early detection is not prevention, and the endgame still remains prevention I think.

This whole field also serves as further confirmation that everything intestesting was discovered in the life sciences in the 1970s [1].
