But that's not what you were replying to. The original context was feeding the hungry and giving charity. Which is something found in a lot of religions (albeit often convinently forgotten when it comes time to actually do it)

You can be wealthy/privleged without being a king.

Marcus Aurelius is well known for his philosophy, although i suppose he didn't give up his position. A quick google also finds James of Aragon.
The Sun Protection Factor(SPF) is defined "a measure of the fraction of sunburn-producing UV rays that reach the skin" when applied as instructed and only over a defined period, usually 2hr[1]. That means there is twofold difference even between a pane of glass(<1% whole body) and correctly applied sunscreen(~2% for 2hr @ SPF50), before taking walls into accounts.

>So you deny the rights of a community of people to decide what they deem legal or illegal ? All this for the personal benefit of a (literal) couple of people

By that logic if said community is for incest, pedophilia and extremely violent and barbarian punishment, the country has to allow it?
Well, that was why I asked the question. I didn't think asking a question deserved downvotes and ridicule.
> undergo their AGAB puberty against their will

It's also weird mental gymnastics like this that people are pushing against. For anyone who is not familiar with the acronym, AGAB means "Assigned Gender At Birth", and is push back against the fact that we broadly lump all people into either the male / female camp when they are born. It can be useful when talking about gender norms, etc – which are discussions worth having. But when you start to move into the region of "biological sex is unimportant" it takes on an entirely different slant.

"AGAB puberty" is an oxymoronic statement. If the gender was merely "assigned" to them, then why is their body naturally going through puberty in a certain direction. It's not their AGAB, it's their biological sex. We are not saying "this is a boy" and then giving them testosterone when they hit 12 so that they match their "assigned" gender. Their body is the body of a boy which naturally produces (much) more testosterone (and other obvious hormonal and physical differences) than that of what we broadly call a girl.

Nobody is FORCING anything – that is just something our bodies do naturally because we are a sexually reproducing species of mammal so our DNA causes us to split broadly into male and female.
do you believe in Darwin's theory? do non-binary genders exist among primates?

non-binary (like the rest of 72 genders) is just a social construct, created fairly recently, it has no connection to biology of homo sapiens as biological species or any foundation in science. Only people's emotions/human feelings are the main basis for 72 genders that are now being told to kids left and right, together with ridiculous dose of hormone blockers
Sure, but the complaint was discoverability, my point is that on Linux you start with something you don't need to discover: you either defined the shortcut yourself, or you installed something that defines it by default. There are no 'system shortcuts'.
I recall one time, some years ago, I cannot remember exactly but I remember going to a meeting in a high rise with some co-workers and others, we get on the elevator together and there is a Muzak version of Devo playing, I could not help cracking up. People asked me what was so funny, I commented the Muzak was a cover of Devo. No one knew what I was talking about.
They mention the Power Profiler Kit 2 (PPK2) to measure power usage. I've been using it for a few months with microcontrollers and have found it very useful. The amount of precision it's capable of with high-frequency measurements is extraordinary, I was able to spot when the MCU was running various functions just from the power draw. It goes down to 200nA and can produce 100,000 samples/sec.

Alternatives like USB power meters[2] are still useful and can be cheap, but you don't get raw data from them and just have to read the value from the display. For comparison DigiKey has the PPK2 listed for $92.50.

Right, my point is that department stores did similar stuff, the only difference is that department stores have elevators and big box stores are generally single-story, so the reason you don't hear music in elevators anymore is because there is no elevator to play the music in.

You picked this book to present as evidence to support your (honestly outlandish) claims regarding living standards in ancient India. No one else even suggested it. All I did was read it (well, skim it, really) since I was surprised to hear that my schema was so out of whack with the historical reality.

Pardon me if I am skeptical regarding your claims about what is in these other "hundred books", since you apparently were not particularly acquainted with the contents of this one.
I used to think that way too, but putting it on a social platform has a lot of benefits. New users who don’t know how to write prompts can learn from others and discover new artistic styles and concepts. It brought me up to speed much faster than DALL-E’s web based interface.
But it's not even an essay, isn't it? I found the style in the historic context refreshing, but I wouldn't want to read a history book written this way
+1 to this, as an Indian. There's been a recent trend in my country where people, educated or not, have suddenly started finding unnecessary pride in our past - mostly centered around culture and one specific religion - Hinduism.

This pride in the past, is helping our current government win elections in great majority.

But our past, like every other country's past, is riddle with good and bad. While there are many many good things about our culture, there are several things that were wrong and they still are.

For example:

- Women rights

- Caste system

- Servility

- Human suffering, exploitation of poor by the ruling class etc

The usual narrative is - everything wrong with the country is because of people from outside (invaders, colonists etc) and everything right in the country is because of our great Hindu culture.

And most "debates" with such people will end up with them mud slinging on another religion or country.

You're gonna be disappointed in the rest of the internet and a significant amount of the adults in the world if this language is so foul as to bother you. Completely unnecessary callout.

Either way, a skim of some google results looking for other articles on medieval bathing references evidence in the form of obituaries mentioning deaths of peasants while bathing in rivers, as well as the existence of bathhouses in small towns and recorded prices that were within a peasant's budget. It seems pretty plausible.
Besides all the great steps below, I like to browse the git repo to find the files that have been changed most recently and most often.

Projects, especially messy ones, often behave like lava flows where there is an active and ever expanding edge where changes are currently being made. Beneath this are layer upon layer of nearly impenetrable and often implicitly deprecated code from former developers.

This practice came from a time when I was brought in midway through a rewrite to get rid of unmaintainable code from some offshore contractors. I saw a repository where half the code lacked any organizing principles and had massive security issues. The second half was textbook (pedantic even) OOP, the kind taught in Java textbooks. It was beautifully executed except for using a few outdated tricks to do OOP in early versions of PHP (no longer needed in the version used for this project).

Because I didn't look at the dates, I assumed the neat OOP code was the result of the rewrite. I was wrong.

> he actually stoops to suggesting that NSA might have bribed one of the members of the PQC teams

I don't know anyone in the teams to judge their moral fiber, but I'm 100% sure the NSA is not above what is suggested and your weird outrage at the suggestion seems surprising knowing what is public knowledge about how the NSA operates.

There are arguments here about NSA pressure on NIST. You miss the point because apparently you're offended that someone suggested your friends can be bribed. I mean, maybe they can't, but this is about the NSA being corrupt, not the researchers.
Have to agree with "just reaching for an article"! No mention of the genetic line (species) this particular yeast might belong to, so almost devoid of information. "This guy isolated some old yeast and cultured it up and he's making beer with it." Reads more like a soft ad to me.
Fair enough, I guess there's value to the social feedback you get in discord and being able to easily see what others have input.

“The future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed yet” (Gibson, but not sure)

For a tribe in the Amazon forest, Shanghai or Tokyo could be from a scifi movie set 500 years in their future. For a villager in a small-sized town in Belgium perhaps only 5 or 10yrs in the future.

So transhumanism is not something that will be : it always was and currently is. It just a word for a mindset that embraces these changes and want them to happen faster and sooner.
They are erroring on the side of caution because people have determined secret information from public information - like the energy in a nuclear bomb (censored) by the blast radius (public).

Another example is they want to protect their means and methods. But those means and methods are how they know most information. Often times it's easy to work backwards from they know x therefore y is compromised.

It's a hard problem similar to how to release anonymized data. See K-anonymity attacks and caveats.

> These people who claim they have golden ears and can hear the difference between analog and digital, well, it turns out you couldn’t.

That's not fair because they didn't have both analog and digital records to compare.
I've noticed I write for longer and with greater focus when writing by hand on the reMarkable 2 tablet.

Writing in the reMarkable feels as analog as writing on paper does. I can convert my handwriting into digital text and email it to myself for editing and digital archiving right from the tablet.

I've also tried handwriting with ink in Moleskine notebooks and transcribing pages with the Google Translate API, which works surprisingly well.

I love the analog method. Yet I want to document my writing digitally for easy retrieval when editing and looking for content to publish.

What other methods are people using to digitize, transcribe, and archive "analog" handwriting?
I don't know, that might work for some but I would have prefered a webapp with a nice UI instead. I've subscribed for a month but the first time I discovered some of the parameters was just now when someone on HN linked to their docs. Had no idea they even had those.

The flow was invite -> public discord channel with other people that don't know about what prompts work well with their model -> run out of free GPU time -> subscribe -> move to private discord message where none of the social aspect matters.
But I'm sure this is restricting the number of users who access it as "people who use discord" is a significantly smaller number than "people who use the web".

Most Finns still go to a sauna weekly to supplement the modern daily showers. In Finnish cities, old apartment buildings don't have a sauna room in every apartment (like in the 1980s) or a time-shared sauna suite in every building (like since maybe the 1940s?). Instead, there were big public saunas in every block or so, and people went bathing there once a week.

In Helsinki, only a handful of those old public saunas remain today, but they are now protected by UNESCO and there's been a revival with several fancy public saunas built downtown in the last years, and the wood-heated ones are still considered the best: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/see-and-do/activities/the-best-...

> if you have a home inspector inspect a house before you buy it, and they say "yeah, it looks good" - but it turns out they didn't actually investigate

Home inspectors follow well-established practices. Bot estimation for Twitter has no such analog. The closest might be the seller saying they've seen rats but never looked into it. You say fine, I'm buying to clean it up anyway; waive inspection rights; commit and then discover a rat's nest.

Unless you can show the seller knew about the problem and lied about it, you're going to get your case thrown out of court. Now add multimillion dollar teams of lawyers and bankers advising each side prior to entering into the transaction and we have an approximation of the stupidity of this case.
Denying puberty blockers, which are easily produced, known to be acceptably safe, and can prevent physical changes, is forcing teens through a harmful puberty against their will.
You cannot hear samples, or the "steps" between them. This is a silly idea that comes from people seeing pictures of the waveform as it is digitally captured and imagining they can hear it.

You cannot, it is impossible.

Even with an unrealistically low sample rate (say 500Hz instead of 44.1kH), this will not sound like 500 beats per second as the "steps" occur, but rather will just sound extraordinarily dull, as the Nyquist frequency has dropped to 1kHz, a fairly low tone, and all info above that has been lowpassed away.

When the signal is changed to analog by the DAC in order to come out of a speaker, the "steps" become smooth curves like any analog waveform. You cannot hear "digital steps" because they cannot be audible - sound is vibration, and it cannot be made into steps in the analog realm.
> Where does it say in Christianity or Islam that this world is an illusion,

Christianity is very obviously all about eternal live in heaven with god. That's the main selling point: Your suffering on earth is not actually the real thing and you do not have to be afraid of death. You do not have to worry. Also something, something, love is good. That is how it gets sold.

> that there is one god, that all paths lead to the same god,

That's the main thing that unites the three abrahamic religions.

> or that the soul inside you is the very same god you pray to ?

Literally in Genesis. And god created men in his own image.

I had to comment on this thread, because what you and others are writing here just seems like some Indian exceptionalism. Seems like you are trying to defend something and overshooting quite a bit.

Above the state of India 1000 years ago got mentioned. As a European I give you this perspective: I feel like I can be a bit more relaxed regarding other nations, because everybody was invading each other all the time, so most certainly I would not exist genetically if my (proto-)nation would have won all these conflicts. I have nothing to do with my nation 1000 years ago. We are all the result of history.
Helsinki city transit does that, and there's zero attempt at sync. So an interesting headline pops up, and then maybe about 500ms in it cuts to a wildly animated ad for some crap or another. So it's not just irritating, it is aggressively obnoxious. You wanted to read this story ? HAH HAH, sucker!
Tutorial – Write a Shell in C
If there is one, I often like to look at the database. The stuff that is stored and the names of the tables should give you a good idea how the application works.

Sort of unrelated, but I've got a story about a project I was looking through that confused the hell out of me. It was a C# library that would allow you to render an element from a shockwave flash file (it was either .swf or .fla).

I spent ages digging through the code. The example worked really well, but I couldn't get it to work with one of my files.

Eventually I contacted the author and he told me the library used reflection to get the name of your variable and would look for that variable name in the flash document.
Of course I didn't mean hardware EOL, that I understand, but why discontinue software updates then?
Honestly, this whole problem sounds to me like parents being utterly unwilling to discuss gender with their children. Teachers wouldn't have such a supposed monopoly on this if kids felt comfortable talking to their parents. If your child came to you because they're questioning themselves, I sincerely hope you'd be there for them instead of freaking out about liberal propaganda. Kids and especially teenagers will question themselves... it's kind of the whole point of puberty. Are the people obsessing about this so old that they forgot what puberty was like?

And people said the exact same stuff, verbatim, about gay people. Section 28 for example was a law passed in the UK in 1988 that reads eerily similar to Florida’s dubbed Don’t Say Gay Bill. Section 28 was literally passed in reaction to a Danish book called "Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin" where a young girl and her two dads do sordid things like having a birthday party and visiting the launderette. And British youngsters were immeasurably damaged by Section 28 and the effects remain even though it was repealed in 2004.

Similarly, there were protests a few years ago of conservative parents who were """"concerned"""" that their children were being taught graphic gay sex when, in reality, children were merely being taught that some families have two mums or two dads. A lot of the puritanical moralism comes from conservatives unconsciously (or not) spreading ideologically framed, ambiguous statements. It’s like how you took the concept of teenagers seeking out that book in the adult section with that book “be[ing] on display to kids.” You made it sound worse than it was, so people interpret it as worse than it was, so it becomes a moral panic.

I wish that we stopped saying things like ‘eating this and that is beneficial’ or ‘good for your health’.

You know, consuming calories is immensely beneficial and good for your body if you haven’t had a meal for a day. Doesn’t really matter if it’s refined grains or whatever.

Consuming some vitamin-rich whatever is healthy for you if you’re low on those vitamins, otherwise it’s calories and a bunch of work for your liver.

There’s stuff that is objectively bad for your health, almost no matter the circumstances. Like some fried sugar-rich dessert, unless you’ve been starving for a few days it’s probably going to be bad for you on all accounts.
