Looks great! I've been dreaming about something that lets me use a headband and reads brainwaves to interact with a computer for a long time. Every 4-5 years I look into what's been happening on that front, but so far it seems like we're not even close.
I'm not going to follow up on this. The examples I could come up with, outside that experience, would not be accurate recollections.

That company considered exactly that kind of experience to be one of their "trade secrets," and they were fairly well-known for "leaning into" customer mental models.

Even though I could legally discuss it, I won't. I feel they could use all the help they can get, right now, and I won't make things harder for them.
I’ve dealt with depression for the better half of my life. I tried SSRIs for a decade with moderate results — they definitely helped, but more so in a way where the depression felt manageable than feeling really happy. I went off them at the beginning of the year to experiment with managing the depression other ways: therapy, meditation, exercise.

One day I got to work and noticed that for the first time in a while, I was feeling really happy. In a way where I realized that other times I thought I was happy, I was really just not-too-sad. This was what actual happiness felt like. I was kind of surprised, but thought “wow, I guess the meditation and exercise are finally paying off? It must be that… nothing else has been different recently…”

And then I remembered that I’d tried shrooms for the first time the day before.

So far, trips seem to pretty reliably have this effect for maybe 1-2 weeks. I suspect I’m also seeing some more durable benefits beyond that, but a little harder to be sure.
Interesting. Are there any situations where carrying water would be better than carrying compressed (or hydride) tanks? I would think there wouldn't be much, if any weight benefit, especially with the recent advances in lightweight design for aircraft tanks.
Android itself probably not, but their Maemo efforts were far ahead of Android already.

Interesting. I did not perceive Zootopia as progressive ( tbh, I don't remember much of it except for the DMV skit ). Could you elaborate on that interpretation?
Of course! It's the NumPhy Air75. It's considered an entry level board, so it's nothing fancy, but for me it's been great.
4.5
Started at 1.5. Fairly quick results. Only side effects being externally vivid dreams.
After a week went to 3, week later to 4.5
I alternate between 3 and 4.5 mostly because dreams can be a bit much. But pain reduction is great.

I have Sjogrens autoimmune as underlying condition.

Other trick I found was I was taking a b complex. Removing the b-6 seemed to help.
I haven't watched the show yet, but is it not generally understood that plot and character development in television proceeds at a slower pace than in film? It's arguably one of the main reasons to chose one medium over the other. You cite House of Dragons, but I hardly think you can argue that the first two episodes of that show could make a movie.
The relationship has been pretty sour since Netanyahu for a lot of Americans. He openly meddled in internal US politics, like Putin but with less gaslighting.
My mother used to keep a card I wrote her when preschool aged, which read “happy Mother’s Day” entirely mirrored, written right to left
At least over here, trees grow for centuries. Big trees survive forest fires as well.

Not a short term carbon sink only.
Perhaps sticking it to the man is what is now considered heroic. Self sacrifice is a foreign concept when your taught to love yourself first.
Yes, I’ve done this with LiveView and Tauri and it works.

At the time, the barrier to my investigations was LiveView interop with component frameworks. Even Ionic Vue was tricky to get the re-rendering right.

Having a native framework ontop of liveview unlocks shipping it for desktop apps. Bundle a local first database and you have a highly productive stack for building snappy, small bundle, native apps with web technologies.
Metacritic has 2.6 out of 10.
Wait we’ve gone from the show having diversity hiring to the entire thing being “woke” now? It’s so hard to keep up with the ginned up outrage.
Watched only the first episode of Dragons, but I am not convinced. What is the point of this show? We know that the real fight between dead and living is happening 200 years later. We know that all of the dragons will be dead at some point. The characters itself are pretty boring, compared to what Thrones had to offer. It is technically well made, but it is boring.
Given the Canadian government's over the top reaction to the trucker protesters earlier this year I'm not at all surprised to hear they behave like the oppressive Israelis when dealing with foreign travelers. Didn't used to be this way, even a few years ago.
There’s a guy that reverse engineered them but he would only describe the broad strokes. Part of the system works with the value stored on the card so there is a way to get free rides but it’s not easy to figure out.

I'd say they are both slow. Try Perl, Tcl, Lua or some other interpreted language that starts fast, and you'll likely see something like 200-300ms for the equivalent commands to above.
At this point, it will require truly innovative production for me to care about dangers looming over a kingdom/world/universe from which only the our-last-hope hero can deliver. Be it LOTR or Marvel or DC or whatever.
>If it's not faithful to the source, then it's just on the same level as unknown author

Yeah, kinda pointless to buy IP, only to then hire producers that don't understand what made the source material good.
> but it was going to be focused on an even smaller niche of the market, N97 users who were pro skiers.

I can’t stop laughing at this.
> Does this sort of scenario fit your "problem solving" ideal, where everyone just loves the whole experience? I highly doubt it.

For me, yes. IF you remove the manager constantly asking "is it done yet" and "why isn't this done".

I like having and solving large, unscoped, deeply technical, problems as long as the nagging doesn't happen. My last launch (this month) was a 6 month long 3 team project that no one but me understood. It's now a documented feature, with unit tests, and it is extremely simple. In fact, one of my CLs which took ~2 weeks to make was adding 1 `if (X) { continue; }` and I sent that to my manager as "look at this amazing milestone we crossed" and him not getting it :)
Study shows successful labor outcomes in expectant mothers using AI
not sure if accurate because i know nothong beyond basic LOTR story but saw something that said if they were faithful to the source material nothing of interest would have happened until the middle of the 5th season
What industry conspiracy are you trying to insinuate? Is it big pharma? Doubt it. Guess who would ultimately own the labs, run the clinical trials, and be first to market with a safe and precise FDA approved antidepressant based on a psychedelic active ingredient. Let's not forget LSD started as a research chemical in a drug r&d lab in Switzerland. Industry never wanted it criminalized.

It's not a good look to rationalise away all bad news as "paid hit piece".
As mentioned in a sibling comment those services are relatively expensive.

If you don't mind ~30 minute one time setup you can get stable diffusion up and running incl. a nice webinterface on basically any cloud provider offering GPUs. I used https://rentry.org/GUItard as a guide and adopted it slightly for my needs.

As my desktop only has a RTX3060 I am renting a GPU instance on Genesis Cloud (billed by the minute and no cost while instance is stopped) using a RTX3090 with 24 GB of vram.

IMHO, it was not so much as iPhone won, it's more like all other phone companies lost.

Nobody innovated, nobody focused on the developer or bothered with creating a platform for developers although developers were asking for it. Sony, Nokia, Ericsson had big fan bases.

There were any number of customizations that people all over the world created for them. But those phone companies didn't care.

Each year, all these phone companies would come out with new form factors to keep their fan bases hooked. That's it. No standardization, no nothing.

They all lost. And deservedly so. And we were left with Google cannibalizing open-source to create Android. Even then, and now, companies only accepted Android because they saw the rise of iPhone. It was a threat. They had to scramble to get something together.

Everyone else just gave up. Even now, all I hear is, "It's not an easy task to create a new phone because you have to create everything from the ground up". It's this attitude which has been the death of mobile communication.

Instead of having something that everyone could use and build upon, we're left with brittle pieces of proprietary software, completely at the mercy of two behemoths who call all the shots.

The PC revolution happened but nobody learned anything from it.
Nokia had made Maemo success then they might had a chance.
> the policy only targets part of the population

No it doesn’t. Palestinians are outside Israel. It targets specific foreigners, not Arabs or Christians or anyone else.
Tell HN: First-gen Eero devices end of support 9/30/2022
Maybe they announced this a long time ago and I just missed it, but they really didn’t make it obvious. There was no email heads-up, and in the app, you have to click through into an affected device to learn that it’s even going to be an issue, which is not something I do at all often. Sure would have been nice to get a notification in the main app screen or something. More info here:

This is the story of how Rick Wolter learned to program in prison and ultimately became a professional iOS developer.

I figure any story that involves smuggling a python interpreter into prison on a USB stick seems like it might interest people here.

But I think its also an important story because it’s about how software development can be life changing and lift people up out of hard situations.
> Better to have the demand served open and legally than forcing people underground.

Thomas Aquinas (1225-1275), "Whether it belongs to the human law to repress all vices?":

> […] Now possibility or faculty of action is due to an interior habit or disposition: since the same thing is not possible to one who has not a virtuous habit, as is possible to one who has. Thus the same is not possible to a child as to a full-grown man: for which reason the law for children is not the same as for adults, since many things are permitted to children, which in an adult are punished by law or at any rate are open to blame. In like manner many things are permissible to men not perfect in virtue, which would be intolerable in a virtuous man.

> Now human law is framed for a number of human beings, the majority of whom are not perfect in virtue. Wherefore human laws do not forbid all vices, from which the virtuous abstain, but only the more grievous vices, from which it is possible for the majority to abstain; and chiefly those that are to the hurt of others, without the prohibition of which human society could not be maintained: thus human law prohibits murder, theft and such like.

I think it just comes down to a money making tactic of making the movie/show available to the widest audience available to increase revenue. In my view it is sad, and basically creates more dull and less interesting cinema. I've been wanting a good HALO movie since the game was released... but I doubt I'll ever get it.
It seems like every tech company eventually reaches a similar fate of fading into irrelevance as more innovative competitors emerge (e.g. DEC, BlackBerry, Yahoo). Will today's tech giants suffer the same fate? If so, how soon?
Unfortunately she went on to become that exact sort of insufferable character in her followup appearances.

Oh, also Rick has some of the most practical advice on learning programming, and transition to a professional dev that I've seen.

I know it’s not popular to just talk about grinding, the overwork culture is not popular. I get that, this is a different space. You want this shit? You got to grind. You’re going to have to do it on the weekends, you’re going to have to lock in. I’m sure someone’s going to be like, “Oh, no you don’t. I don’t have to. don’t put that pressure on them,” that’s fine. But to me, when you come from a background, especially if you’re a felon, but even if you’re not a felon, you don’t have a college that’s going to give you any kind of signal.

Everyone talks about the college debt but your local community college isn’t that expensive. And then, that way, maybe you could just cut your work down to 10, 20 hours and then spend the rest of time coding.

You focus on fundamentals first. Data structures, control flow, that kind of thing and stick to that for a short period of time. Maybe a month, month and a half, just do that basic stuff. It’s not popular, people want to see things on their screen, they want to say they built a thing but you’ve got to get those fundamentals first and there’s so many free options, Coursera, freeCodeCamp. And then, once you get some fundamentals, then you can decide on the platform.

And once you pick your platform, just focus and stick to it. If you’re building Ruby on Rails, do that every day but make sure you’re building it. Hands on the keyboard, watch a tutorial then do the tutorial again but change some things then try to recreate what you built in the tutorial while not looking, that kind of thing. Because that’s the main thing is getting your skills up.
In 100 years, the sea cables would be above our heads alright.
Not faithful? More like it presents exactly the opposite ideas. Why choose Foundation if you hate every concept that the books stand for?
If you take one puff, it's not going to work as a painkiller either...
The entire plot of the movie is about predator animals going savage and the rabbit cop and fox conman working together to understand why.

Act 1 is rabbit cop overcoming assumptions that she cannot be a cop because she is a rabbit.

Act 2 is they catch a savage predator and then, when prompted on the news, rabbit cop suggests it may be due to predators having savage behaviors "in their genetics"

Act 3 is realizing that this was an unwarranted bias, working together, and finding the real culprit.

It's a great progressive film because one of the big racial conflict moments is the rabbit cop, a kind and well intentioned protagonist, grappling with her own subconscious biases.
> The Apple case is an interesting counterpoint though

Isn't the story that iphone development was a secret project with competing teams, one of which proposed the touch-screen interface?
apparently not sour enough
My phone runs Debian (PureOS to be exact) and I'm perfectly happy with it.
An even better question is why do people go to college, expecting it to be a trade school?

There is nothing wrong with CS curriculum. It's just not for everybody.

This is like going to college for Physics and then complaining that they didn't teach you how to fly an airplane.
> That quote doesn’t oppose structure and discipline.

Of course it does, that's what the teacher is claiming. Expressly endorsing a less-structured approach, hoping that it will boost enjoyment among students who have yet to develop the basic skills of literacy. Even though the exact opposite is in fact more likely, with students being frustrated by an overly obscure, everything-goes approach.
I went over 2 pages of 1star reviews in rottentomatos and not one mentioned the woke stuff. Not sure where this notion that it’s been brigaded by the anti-woke crowd comes from. Most bad reviews mentioned bland characters, mediocre acting, bad dialogue/writing etc.
If you make things compatible, how will you sell more things?
Recognition from those countries is a fact. Recognition from more countries depends on peace talks. I’m sure you understand this and we don’t need to explain it.
"Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon in Rust" would be even better
I wonder if the same effects can be attained by someone who has used psychedelics recreationionally their entire life, from say 16 onward. is it the external guidance during the experience that really makes the difference? or is a life of experiences responsible for one not having anxiety or depression on those levels
It may be illustrative to discuss a concrete example from text layout: consider deciding whether to break before or after a certain word on a line.

• Suppose the width of each line is L, and the inter-word space is "S plus P minus M" in TeX notation (i.e. default S with stretchability of P and shrinkability of M), and that after N words with total width C, we encounter the next word of width W, which would have to either go on the next line, or be squeezed onto that line.

.....................|
This is an example line

• If we break the line before that word, we'd have to stretch the default space of (C + (N-1)S) to L, so a stretch factor of (L - C - (N-1)S)/P.

• If we break the line after that word, we'd have to shrink the default space of (C + W + NS) to L, so a shrink factor of (C + W + NS - L)/M.

So we'd pick one choice or the other depending on which of these two fractions is smaller.

(This is not exactly TeX's algorithm — the above is a greedy/local "best-fit" rather than TeX's "optimum fit" that considers the paragraph as a whole; see the paper at http://www.eprg.org/G53DOC/pdfs/knuth-plass-breaking.pdf — but it's hopefully illustrative.)

Even in this simple case that just needs to compare two ratios (in practice we have to at least compare two sums of such fractions), if you compute these two fractions as real numbers, and you don't have any consistent floating-point arithmetic available across different machines and compilers (or across time), how would you ensure that the system would be deterministic / numerically stable as you said? (Would always make the same decision between the two choices?)

(And would that method have worked in 1980? The initial version of TeX, now called TeX78, was written in 1977–1978 in the SAIL language and only had to run on one computer/compiler (the ones at SAIL in Stanford), and it did use the "real" type. By 1980, already (programs based on) TeX had proliferated to various places—people were porting/rewriting TeX into their own OS/languages—and Knuth started the rewrite of TeX into the current TeX82 in WEB (based on Pascal), and that time both hardware and Pascal compilers varied widely in their support for and implementation of floating-point arithmetic, so Knuth pretty much had to use fixed-point (i.e. only integer arithmetic staying within 2^31) to ensure that the same output would be produced everywhere. But I'm curious how we could get numerical stability in the sense you mentioned even today, as the problem seems to inherently have the property that small perturbations can lead to different output.)
Story tellers need to do their job to give us compelling characters. We don’t owe them watching an unspecified number of episodes - hours of screen time - to give them a chance to give us something to like about the characters. I liked every character in the LotR trilogy within five minutes of their introduction.
I didn't either. That's just put IMDB off my list.
This is also a problem on Steam reviews.

Say something nice about TRoP.

The thing that's got me interested is the entrance of Gandalf (I presume.) Dropped in from the heavens like an alien, found in a smoldering crater, clearly baffled by up-close Arda, can't speak "the" language, mystified by corporeal-ness, almost simian. The writers had enough of a clue to see the opportunity in making Gandalf's backstory a meaningful subplot, so they're developing it with some care, and that's pretty cool.

Also, the Elves aren't perfect, one dimensional beings it total harmony with all things. You've got politics, cowardice, rebellion and other stuff there. Morfydd Clark's Galadriel is ok. Reserving the benefit of the doubt there because there is a long way to go and it's a huge part for any actor.

Finally, Owain Arthur's Durin in Khazad-dûm was well acted (if not entirely well written at points.) Very memorable.

I think people are expecting a life changing experience from TRoP and aren't getting it, or something. It's just more streaming TV, and far from the worst of that. House of the Dragon is ok too, but one nice thing with TRoP is the absence of soft porn and disturbing torture scenes. That stuff is fine for HotD but it's also good to see story telling that won't resort to that.
Looks like a great board for the price. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Self sacrifice is a tool people use to convince others to sacrifice themselves.
It’s all about diversity and stereotypes.

Applying Occam's razor, given that this process has repeated for years over multiple franchises, the conclusion is that the core audience is not who you think they are. Online commentary creates a strong visibility bias. Reddit is perhaps the most egregious example of this.
> After a recent bad experience around an alcoholic, I now understand, at least in part, why prohibition happened.

Ken Burns did a good doc on Prohibition in the US:

The societal problems that the then-new process of distilling caused were enormous. Previously the strongest drinks were beer (<8%) and wine (<20%), but with high-proof spirits people got into all sorts of problems.

Humans/society eventually adapted, but the intervening decades had a lot of people suffering.
For a show where you spend 300M just for the rights, you are showing your best effort in those first couple of hours to hook people. At least that's what I've experienced with the many HBO shows I've watched and loved. Maybe the task is more difficult when you're building on an existing story, associated characters and lore that people have expectations of.
I managed 2 episodes of Amazon's butchering of the WoT series and judged it to be absolutely crap.

I watch videos and read wikipedia to try to keep those things fresh in my mind. Do I still remember the Greek alphabet? What's the formula for (k choose n)? What's the difference between permutation and combination? Can I still write a Turing machine? What about a Turing with multiple tapes?

I have a bunch of those "questions" that I try to always remember.

My YouTube history is a bunch of those types of videos with some best moments clips from my favorite comedy shows in between them.
