As someone who had a surprise (but most welcome) pregnancy at 40, many years after an ectopic one, I’m coming to grips with the fact that my home state’s government, and possibly a large percentage of its residents including most of my close relatives, are ok with me dying if I have another ectopic and happen to be visiting when things get critical.

“But there are exceptions for the life of the mother, and an ectopic surely is that!”

How many women won’t seek medical help when the pain and bleeding start because they think it might be a “normal” miscarriage and are scared of being investigated for inducing an abortion?

I have the privilege of a German residence permit and a healthy bank account that would normally mean I could hop on a flight to my chosen home the next day to get medical assistance without fear, but in the age of Covid, that assumption has been overturned as well.
This is fine for me. My iPad is a mostly disconnected device on purpose. It's truly just a notebook.
I agree, and I'm surprised to see so much positive feedback in the comments here.

Being disinterested in 99.9% of what other people care about isn't special or interesting. It's just refusing to meet people where they are. If someone is too special for you to connect with, I guarantee that ascending to the lofty heights that they think they inhabit to engage with them will not be worth it. Even if they could articulate where they want you to meet them, and then you went out on a limb to discuss supernovae collapses, or whatever big important thing, I think you'll discover that their special tower above all the fleeting pastimes and bucket lists of the normies would suddenly shift to yet another inaccessible place.

People who genuinely inhabit interesting or rare positions or have special life experiences still love to share their story with other people. No one lives in a tower because their ideals and life story are too special for anyone else to get. They build walls to keep people away. Of course it's never a good idea to tell someone else why they do something, especially a stranger on the internet, but in my experience with people that do this, it's not because they are special, but rather because they are not, and they like the game of making other people pursue them while they continually shift the field so you can never get to them. It's best not to play. If they get lonely enough, they'll do something about it. Hopefully it's a group activity, therapy, or a dose of humble medicine and going to talk about the weather with strangers at a language exchange meetup.
Is this a joke? If somebody did that I would not respect them.
Many aren't very detailed. I could do with more detail on e.g. King's Cross, a station where it's easy to be suckered into a much longer walk to / from your platform if you don't know some of the shortcuts.
Yeah same idea behind my lock too:

I'd guess many many people have had this same idea.
I actually think there's a third way of "using JS to write Wasm", which is to have a JS library which has instructions to emit "hand-written" Wasm bytecode.
Example of such a library: https://github.com/iden3/wasmbuilder

That's actually what I was thinking about when picking this option!
Think of the following situation:

- You're a JS developer, and want to write a client / library mainly with JS

- You want to use Wasm only for some narrow, performance-critical parts

In this case, you may not want to use something like Rust, because that adds tooling overhead, makes the Wasm bytecode bigger & makes it harder to hand-optimize the Wasm. On the other hand, you might not want to directly write the Wasm in raw WAT, because that has crappy DX.

In this situation, having a JS library is a viable way to make the writing of raw Wasm somewhat more efficient.
Example of this pattern being used in the wild: https://github.com/iden3/wasmcurves/blob/master/src/bls12381...
You likely haven't travelled our rail system a lot. Only major train stations have the capacity to handle large volume goods, the far majority of train stations is to small and has no way to grow (because of property, mountains, geography, ..)

Also, I don't know exact numbers, but it's likely to assume that more goods need transport in future as well as more people are going to use trains. The capacity is limited, especially in a system that works so well because it has so little delays as well as a whole fallback network.

Pretty sure if they start doubling the freight capacity we will start to see more delays for normal train travel, which is literally the last thing they want to see happen

As you mentioned “WHEN the singularity happens” as an article of religious faith, followed by a vast leap of faith in proposing no-code tools taking over programming, I’m afraid that you adapting to the reality on the ground will be the difficult part here, rather than the lack of adaptation by programming writ large.

I didn't expect to see you here! You are undoubtedly an inspiration, at least to me. I love your content. It makes me want to build stuff!
Multiple shear lines with a two stage isolation-then-check is intuitive. The details matter, though, and this looks clean. I could see it manufactured.

Yes. If you're willing to have a really big lock, it's much easier to make room for a two-stage mechanism where the keying info is stored before use. I'd thought about a lever lock like that, but the thing would need a huge box in or behind the door.

There's a possible vulnerability here. This thing may be susceptible to comb picking. The spring channels look to be too long. If you can push the pins up beyond their normal travel, to where the disk stack reaches the top bar, then push the rear actuating pin to operate the top bar, the lock should open.

Master Lock is known for making this basic error in lock design, as Lock Picking Lawyer has pointed out. This is a fixable design mistake. You just have to have something that prevents the pins from being pushed too far.
Oh I see what you mean. Though that’s why Java has the `final` keyword to forbid subtyping for a given type.
I'm also surprised at how natural people talk about that, like it's totally ok your employer "owns" your free time.
That was the most annoying part of bicycling Americas 50 years ago. Those slices dried up too easily or turned into mush. In Boulangeries of France they had bread-slicing machines, but you often managed to stop the operation beforehand.
Indeed you can get away with a lot now but just paying (a lot) more money; it feels like design is no longer needed as it works. It is how I make some money; people come to me with; ‘we run some trivial online shop made by our team and with 100k uniques a month we pay $15k+ for rds, is that normal?’. So I go in and fix it. Usually it is bad or no design of the db schemas which was countered by picking heavy rds instances. Fun times considering I expect this to be the case in a very high % of all rds deployments (all that I have seen so far, so for me it’s 100%), not only the ones that asked me for help. When asked, the story is the usual ‘people are more expensive than hardware’ blah. It usually takes me around $1000 in fees to cut half the costs so that is blatantly false. Not to mention that the human costs are one off; if someone pays me 20k to bring 15k/mo to 1k/mo (which is typical), it is worth it. Unfortunately that’s not the break everything and go bankrupt way of working I guess! Still I notice that in current harder Financial Times, I do get more requests.
Could one make a lock that unlocks wirelessly via radio communication?

I would imagine something that gets its energy from the outside, similar to wireless charging. So the key would provide the energy.

It could be Bluetooth or some proprietary technology.

So you hold the key next to the lock and the two devices exchange some challenge response data that proves the key holds the secret key that is allowed to open the lock.

I guess that would be unpickable. Just like a locked Android/iOS phone is unpickable.

Would anything prevent this design?
> I am not sure if I would call trying all combinations "picking s lock"

Lockpicking is defined as opening a lock with an instrument other than the appropriate key. It is not defined by how many attempts it takes. Many of the most common lockpicking methods are nothing more than brute force, which are sometimes incredibly effective. They're also sometimes the opposite of effective, meaning they may take many thousands of attempts before stumbling upon success. That doesn't disqualify them from the definition of lockpicking.

> You could also bring all 46k key variations and try them out [...] but that would not make the lock pickable if I was to talk about it.

The entire point of lockpicking is that you don't need to make every key combination, and instead only need a small set of tools or a single device. The personal decision to make every key instead of using another method, doesn't mean the lock isn't pickable, it just means you spent a lot of time making keys. You could also make all of the keys for a basic $1 padlock, but that padlock is still pickable with a paperclip. It didn't become unpickable by creating the keys.

> I have no clue about locks, but there's a difference between brute forcing a password and decrypting it from the hash.

Yes, the difference is that one will definitely take longer than the other, but you don't actually know which until you've successfully completed the task. They're both still password cracking methods with the same end result. One doesn't magically stop being a cracking method just because it takes longer.
Yes, otherwise you’re saying rich people can break the law with no consequences.

But even when notified of the changes, the other party is quite likely to accept reasonable changes when they have a fully signed copy, as it is more convenient than pushing back...

It's their free time, they can do whatever they want with it. If there is something unlawful or disloyal well then you deal with that situation, but you can't tell someone "I will tell you what you can do in your free time just in case you may do something I don't like".

Closures aren't reusable across a whole program unlike classes since their type isn't named, and they don't allow to have more than one operation on the data held by the closure. They really are "poor man's objects" ;p

Ok, “just curious,” there’s something called an ectopic pregnancy. You cannot be sure that’s why you’re bleeding and in pain, so in a normal place like Germany (where I had mine) or pretty much anywhere in the US before this Friday, you would go to your gyno or the emergency room to see what’s going on. If it really is a fetus that implanted itself in your Fallopian tubes or somewhere else where it will slowly bleed you to death, it must be removed medically (my and most early cases) or surgically. Depending on location, it either could never or is highly unlikely to result in an infant that could survive outside your body in any form.

If it’s in your uterus, either you’ll have the option of intervening to try keeping the pregnancy going (if the doctor thinks that’s even possible), or, more likely, be sent home with painkillers and encouraging words about “trying again”.

In Texas, my home state, I would be very hesitant to make that visit, for fear it wasn’t ectopic and that I was exposing myself to, at the very least, a rather physically and psychologically invasive and expensive investigation into whether I induced the miscarriage.

I think it's not unreasonable to ask for "beats inflation" in non-crisis economic times.

I still recall my first savings account paid 6.44% in 1987 or so, and the inflation rate then was ~3.5%. It was with Lincoln Savings, which some of you might remember had a little collapse problem shortly thereafter. Still, the next one I went to (actually, not due to the collapse) paid 5%.

The traditional story of how a bank works, usually presented in comic-strip form somewhere around 10th grade civics class, was roughly:

* Inflation is M%
* Retail lends the bank money at N%, for some N typically >= M. The primary motivation for doing so is less the interest, and more that it's safer to keep the money there than in a dresser drawer where the kids will eventually find it and exchange it for snack foods that are colours that don't exist in nature and premium currency for borderline-pornographic F2P games.
* The bank lends it to productive economic entities at N+3%, who convert it into PowerPoint slides, bribes for Congressmen, and freight costs for shipping productive assets from Illinois to Guangdong.
* The 3% spread enables the bank to sponsor various golf tournaments and buy impressive buildings that totally weren't a Del Taco last year, to ensure you feel secure that they'll still return your money when asked politely.

I suspect what derails the entire narrative is when the bank no longer needs retail to lend them money. When central banks will do it for virtually free, there's no reason to try to wrangle depositors anymore.
I can’t think of a use case for it.
By the time I have decided upon an approach, I likely have the constituent bits already somewhat composed, CoPilot would only get in the way.

It's pretty common to bake 8051 MCU cores into ASICs. They'll run several hundred Mhz. It seems kind of like lawnmower racing.

You can get a 100Mhz FPGA based 6502. http://www.e-basteln.de/computing/65f02/65f02/

Since FPGAs are significantly slower than ASICs, it seems like a 1Ghz 6502 wouldn't be unreasonable. The problem is, what would you do with it? The CPU would be severely bottlenecked by its peripheral interfaces.

FTFY.

Tests are code. This code needs to be maintained, since it's coupled to your architecture. This code has bugs of its own. Etc.

Hi! I realize people are trying to help by suggesting things they've seen work before. It's usually best to approach this with sensitivity. Sometimes depression resists treatment. The interventions that work can vary. Some cases may need electroconvulsive therapy or deep-brain stimulation-based treatments.

Many issues can converge on the loose collection of symptoms we call "Depression". Different cures for different causes:

Increasing activity. Resolving adverse life circumstances. Modifying hormonal states. Modifying nutritional states. Reducing inflammation. Curing an underlying physical illness. Ending a relationship. Starting a new relationship. Spiritual council or practice. Travelling. Taking SSRIs. Taking certain supplements. Ketamine. LSD. Taking MAOIs. Taking mood stabilizers. Climbing out of poverty. Moving to a new town. Ending a toxic relationship. Prescription amphetamines. Getting a sex change. Electroconvulsive therapy. Deep brain stimulation. Transcraial magnetic stimulation. Trauma therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy. Occupational therapy.

Everyone: What has helped for you?

> Reddit is tailored for a better corporate experience, not a better user experience.

Yeah, advertisers want "brand safety" and having the most neutral and inoffensive topics possible (and nothing controversial) is what enables that. Censorship arises organically on the advertiser-based web, which many users of this site have had a hand in creating.
I'm pointing out that the messages on ai and 'ethics' are mixed, confusing. That it is impossible to believe what is being stated.

On the out of control thing, for me, ai is just a machine (a special machine, but not sentient as we are sometimes told) and will do whatever is most successful, as per the criteria it is given. If it is capable and can kill people, and that is stated as its goal, I'm sure it would do so. Its just a machine, it has no moral compass.

I don't buy the hype that it would be able to choose its own goals - it can never be conscious, even if it can do a passable impression.

What does happen is that the (moral) responsibility for ai deaths is shifted onto those who train and code it. Developers might not think of themselves as killers (like soldiers do), but in working on these projects that is what they become.

When I point out the moral repercussions of coding, eg here and many other examples, eg privacy erosion, gameification, people don't like it. They want to take the money but not the responsibility or culpability their actions. They will pretend that they can defer their morality to an 'ethics committee'.

So these sorts of articles are just a form of distracting entertainment, that do nothing, fail to talk about the important parts of life, and ultimately facilitate the creation of an even greater dystopia for ourselves and future generations.
