> Support for the Dark Sky iOS app will end on December 31st, 2022, and support for the Dark Sky API will end on March 31st, 2023.

So basically them buying then closing the service to make their own seem better
> What I’ve come to understand though is that for many other people, marijuana makes them feel great - sharp, alert, at ease and in control.

Many recreational drugs, including alcohol, make people feel that way. But not actually make them be that way.
Big earthquake implies things like UMBs collapsing.
I'd recommend waiting for unbiased reviews of actual products, taking into consideration price, performance, and power usage before determining the "best buy" of the upcoming generation of products.

Though I hope the pendulum is swinging enough to keep driving the improvements. My current desktop CPU is absolute overkill while sipping relatively little power during my light usage.
Yeah, I had like two math teachers from like 4th grade to 12th and I mostly attribute my dislike for it to them, even though I want to relearn now if I could get the time.

I'm in the opposite end of this, end teachers being close to students in anyway. I hated hearing about their personal lives, trying to be "pals", expecting some sort of social engagement,etc... again I lament people not knowing the right place for the right thing (I've been arguing on a different thread against politics and religion at work). I just want to learn $subject and go home! I have no desire to be indoctrinated or form relationships with teachers and this shouldn't be the norm either. Teachers are like a 3rd parent these days. Why do they do that when they don' even get paid enough? I mean, I hope if I ever have kids ML algorithms and online classes will teach them instead of humans so I can do the parenting. </endrant>

For this particular example, Photoshop, an error message is displayed for currency detection. The first thing I would do is load up the executable and look for that particular string. If I'm lucky and there aren't many protections for the executable, I'll be in the right area for figuring out what to patch, or I'll at least know which code paths to start tracing.
I mean, if employers actually paid people a commensurate amount for work they do outside of the 8-5, we wouldn't be seeing this problem.

Sounds like the wsj and their ilk want to have their cake and eat it too. It's a shame that these folks are so out of touch with upcoming generations that their only outlet is churning out more shitstain newspaper articles

Most scanners and printers have counterfeiting built in at a firmware level. On some machines it will even brick the hardware if triggered.
Something really important thats going under the radar is TLS fingerprinting [1].

Multiple servers are using this now, including some requests to subdomains on google.com, googleapis.com, CloudFlare and others. I keep reporting this [2][3], and no one seems to care. If a server blacklists your client, whether its cURL or Go "net/http", you can no longer request to that server using that client. Period. Any HTTP client that wants to be robust, should be thinking about this.

Yes. If there’s rain forecasted for the next hour, it’s displayed prominently on the top of the weather interface (it’s hidden if there’s no rain expected). It will also appear on your home screen if you add a weather widget.
> If I didn’t work to avoid shame, it’s very likely I’d be a lot more miserable and a lot less successful.

Ok, I am not going to say that is incorrect or anything; you know you far better than any internet strangers.

I would say that having a motivation which is based on avoiding negative outcome rather than being drawn towards positive outcome is by definition an unhealthy motivation, and that's my point about shame. It does work, it brings success, it brings money, and so on, and deep down, every last person motivated primarily by aversion to negative outcome is going to be very unhappy in their core. Those people know that just a small number of honest mistakes will bring failure and those feelings of shame, even if the source of the shame is completely internal and the mistakes that got them there trivial.

These people are not happy. Not really; they are only going in the correct direction because the bad direction is artificially acutely punitive, far more than it would be on its own.

Western culture does not recognize this very well at all; we are a results-driven society. In public, we openly scorn parents shovel shame onto their children, and the parents learn (via shame from the public) that they should simply do this privately, rather than openly. Shame begets shame.

Fear of failure should never be a stronger motivator than the desire to succeed.
This is also why we have more fires now: because public forests are not logged anymore, so fuel accumulates.
Subjective, but I'll second this as an Apple user - at least for iOS devices. I mostly like the design, but I'm appalled at how glitchy the interface controls are, for one. And it has been consistently so for years.

Don't even get me started on the Apple TV. I've never been able to reliably use the remote (physical or app).
What? Exiting the stock market and going to cash was one of the few killer investments of 2022.
That's kind of interesting that it currently transpiles to C++. I have a suspicion though that using C++ as an intermediate language will probably often result in lower performance, higher memory usage, make debugging more complicated, etc... than if it was compiled directly to a lower level language like assembly or LLVM IR. If I'm right about that, those wouldn't be very good characteristics for a programming language that you intend to make a complex web browser in.

In zamadatix's reply to your message he said that C++ is only being used to bootstrap the language and that it's certainly not the plan to require C++ forever. I imagine if Jakt thrives, he will be right and Jakt will probably start compiling into a lower level language instead. If they do target a lower level language though, I imagine this will result in Jakt being less portable than C++ which has been around much longer and is more established.
Thank you Mochila! On it!
The market is equally likely to go down as it is up. In fact there may be significant downside, interest rates will continue to go up for the foreseeable future. Valuations are still very, very high when compared to earnings.
Absolutely! I saw that lazygit recently(?) added scrollbars, and I'm actually working on adding this as a new component.
Are you familiar with Dexed[0]? It’s a free, open source DX7 emulator for most major DAWs. They’ve done similar work in figuring out how the device works internally.

Both sound interesting. I've played enough IF to know just "getting rid of your inventory" is a promising starting point!
The single instruction patch mentioned in the parent comment is probably changing a conditional jump (for example JE - jump if equal) into an unconditional jump, or a NOP (no operarion) instruction that does nothing, depending on if the jump leads into code we want to run or not.
The best versions of this I've seen have QA folks embedded in the service/product team to own the release pipeline, and their job isn’t performing tests, but writing automated ones, directly pairing with developers, analysts, SREs to do so. It's the antithesis of the all-too-common scenario of QA being isolated as a separate team.

The primary goal is obviously to produce useful and targeted feedback as early as possible, but more strategically it elevates the status of QA, making it a gateway job to developer, SRE, or product management. In some organisations the QA function is perceived as a dogsbody role, and a reframing helps to flatten the pecking order and improve access to the talent pool.

Before we all went remote work, I'd always recommend adjacent seating for quality folks, to exploit the natural proximity bias. Alas, I'm still not sure what that looks like today.
The morning sickness is called Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome(CHS). Well technically the symptoms may need to be more acute (vomiting), but I am pretty sure it’s the same mechanism and cause, just milder.

At my peak of consumption I also had it mildly with morning nausea. Though at the time I wasn’t using edibles or tinctures at all, almost exclusively oil cartridges.

Also, if those in power require every child get the resources it deserves, doesn’t that make it easier to have kids?

From memory, most of the population of the UK resides in just 2% of the land.

I couldn't find the stat (I heard it on the radio) but there's this[1]:

> 91% of Scotland’s population live in 2% of its land area

Scotland does have large areas of barely lived on land but it's still surprising to see this stat, so I wouldn't think Kentucky's stat, even though I've never been there.

Awesome to see Filippo continuing on as the crypto maintainer.

I can't imagine I'm alone in not knowing much or anything about the crypto/* packages, other than they exist, have appropriately cryptic names, and seem to be respected implementations.

Filippo, if you ever find yourself having the time or energy, a "go crypto for dummies" blog series would be a great read :)
> they're already building their own language to replace C++

Of course, every respectable software project sooner or later invents its own language!
>How wide spread is this requirement?

Seems to be fairly widespread and growing rapidly.[1] "68 percent of job ads in the fall of 2020 mentioned diversity, and 19 percent required a separate diversity statement. That number requiring diversity statements is even higher for elite schools and tenure-track jobs. Certain fields are more likely to require diversity statements than others, with political science being the most likely among fields included in the survey."

Lots of productive people use cannabis.

But would lots of highly intelligent people avoid drugs during pregnancy thus skewing the sample of who has kids while using drugs?

Two opinions I have about SSO: I dislike CAP and SSO without strong 2FA (totp,fido,vendor app) those two introduce ease of access/use without adequately compensating for lost security. Apple's PAT is also preemptively on my shit-list.

We're doing all of these things and we're weirdly very slow. But his first paragraph mentioned motivation, which I think no one has: no pay increases, people quitting (and not just quietly), customers upset, no stock options and just all around no one likes anyone else at the company any more.

I think the pandemic broke us.
3.5% is a whole lot better than the YTD -20% or so of major indices. I sold my holdings last year when YC invested in numerous web3 startups.
Just to clarify, if anyone is confused on this point.

This proposal isn't to limit the total lifespan of a LEO satellite to 5 years.

Rather, it's shortening how long a dead/post mission satellite can remain in orbit before needing to re-enter the atmosphere for disposal.

Currently the rule is 25 years. This change would make significant progress in reducing future orbital junk.
Or some other time!
Hello etchasketch, thanks for the feedback.

The dark mode was a IAP present in one of the first version of the app (if you see the review should be at least 2-3 yo).

As many apps we then changed business model introducing a subscription to be sustainable (eg 1password et al). If an app is free it usually profits on your data or will eventually be abandoned.

And NOTE that it’s $9.99/YEAR, not month. I agree with you that $9.99/month would be out of this world.

Regarding Bitwarden: it is usually best practise to keep password and 2FA in different basket, otherwise once breached the single platform you lose both.

Regarding Authy: Twilio offers b2b services, it’s clear that it’s not making money over Authy, hence it’s rarely updated. It’s 2022 and did not feature Dark Mode yet for example. Moreover, it saves your data in their private servers, recently there has been a report saying they were breached and user’s data have been stolen.
I personally believe Sentinel is a more secure solution and full of feature with respect to Authy.
You are aware that disruption has been the human condition for 1000's of years, yes?

Why do you posit that life expectancy will continue to fall? Not sure it's rational to expect an extended reversal of the trends which have been on the increase prior to the past 2 years. Look at the charts and the analyses.

AI Detects Tuberculosis from X-rays
Wave Field recordings are probably the most complete known descriptions of the brain and its nonlinear fields?

How such fields relate to one or more Quantum Wave functions might entail near-necessity of QFT: Quantum Fourier Transform.

When you replace the Self-attention Network part of a Transformer algorithm with classical FFT Fast Fourier Transform: ... From https://medium.com/syncedreview/google-replaces-bert-self-at... :

> > New research from a Google team proposes replacing the self-attention sublayers with simple linear transformations that “mix” input tokens to significantly speed up the transformer encoder with limited accuracy cost. Even more surprisingly, the team discovers that replacing the self-attention sublayer with a standard, unparameterized Fourier Transform achieves 92 percent of the accuracy of BERT on the GLUE benchmark, with training times that are seven times faster on GPUs and twice as fast on TPUs."

> > Would Transformers (with self-attention) make what things better? Maybe QFT? There are quantum chemical interactions in the brain. Are they necessary or relevant for what fidelity of emulation of a non-discrete brain?

> We live in the present so presentism seems pretty practical.

Well, I live now. I’m very liberal, but am I more noble for doing fuck-all about civil rights (apart from voting) than the abolitionists who literally died to end slavery? Does the woke college student really deserve a statue more than MLK?

> Besides, this isn't ancient history.

Granted, but I don’t see the relevance. You should still judge people of the civil rights era according to the standards of their time.

> Is there any point in history that it would be acceptable to have a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest on public land?

I’m not very well-versed in Forrest, but he seems like he wasn’t progressive for his time, so the answer would be “no” irrespective of presentism.

“If you’ve been following the red-hot AI content generation scene, then you’re probably already aware that it’s likely a matter of months before authentic-looking video of newly invented Seinfeld bits like this can be generated by anyone with a few basic, not-especially-technical skills.”

To me that claim looks to be about driving up business. I realize lots of people and companies are making similar claims, and I have no doubt we will get there in a reasonable amount if time, but I believe that people with your level of expertise believe it will be at least at year until we achieve what you decide.

This whole thing is remarkable but now people are overselling it IMO.
Hello, I’ve seen you commented twice, to avoid confusion please check the answer to your other comment :)
Worth noting the SEC does not have the power to charge people with crimes.
This. I have been having these conversations with my peers for over a decade. For aong time the narrative from my cannabis-using peers basically fell into the narrative that it wasn't bad at all for physical of mental health. I always took a more nuanced view, and point out that little research had been done during the illegal years. I always had a feeling that there was a cat to come out of a bag, and cannabis users have fought me tooth and nail on that point.
And, you know, the fact your country does do the "jail for opinions" thing too
Yep, there will always be exceptions. But taking the median of a decently-filtered set could work. And Apple obviously has a team of folks working on this to come up with something smarter than some random HNer (me) who's just shooting from the hip).

Thankfully we - you and I can have a reasoned discussion and someone with super powers is dispensing justice on the noddys that drip with hate and malice. There are quite a few greyed out comments in this thread!

I'm not too sure yet what on earth is going on here. It is unprecedented and I think the media are quite scarred by what happened when Diana died and the subsequent events. I remember those days quite well.

I think that we are still learning how to grieve as a nation. I lost my mum 25 odd years back (about a year after Diana passed away) and have buried quite a lot of family since and come to terms with some of the seamier sides of life. It is the way of things but I don't think that Britain, let alone any other country has worked out how to deal with death properly.

It sometimes looks quite bizarre but I think that the UK has the basics laid for a pretty good mechanism for dealing with grief. It will work itself out somehow.

That said, I understand that not everyone is a fan of the royals and would prefer a republic. For now, why not recognise a loss of a person who has been here for 90+ years and tomorrow we'll debate the future.
Probably depends on location? Its amazing in NYC.
My post explicitly called out a nuclear option for such cases. Even Fossil has such an option; it's called "shun."
I think the divide is that artists have worked at developing a skill to express themselves (art) while AI artists think they have achieved the same thing by turning a prompt into an image. The former is an act of expression, the latter is choosing something you like out of a magazine. Very different and one is art and the other is not. If you really want to say AI is art, maybe, but the person prompting it is definitely not the artist...maybe the curator.
We should not forget that the FCC rules will only govern the satellites launched by US-based companies. In my opinion, US companies have been fairly responsible about their debris so far; I can't say the same about Chinese launches.
On the other hand, more people know about Mastodon than the Fediverse/ActivityPub.
That's the whole point, OP says they sold everything, but if they truly sold now, they took that 20% loss and sold at a low.

You sold at a high, congratulations, but that was not what the discussion was about.
> I would gladly trade all Republican political prospects for criminalizing abortions

We already know the results of that bone-headed idea. Criminalizing abortion does nothing to stop abortion, it only denies women the ability to have a safe abortion. Criminalizing abortion only serves to maim and kill teenage girls. Which is the lesser of two evils, the loss of an unknown potential, or the loss of a known viable individual? I am sure you've heard before the famous wisdom of George Santayana:

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Inhaling any burnt organic matter is known to be bad for peoples health. Theres a mechanistic explanation for it too: smoking causes incomplete combustion of organic matter creating a soup of volatile organics and slew of carbon particulates, many with activated surfaces. CO, formaldehyde, CN, etc. even CO2 which is toxic at high concentrations (its not merely an asphyxiant like it is for a fire).

Smoke is bad. Full stop. exposure to smoke, cigarettes, diesel fumes, interstate, etc while pregnant is harmful to the baby. This has been known for decades.

So the answer should have been: "we don't know the effects specifically of pot on pregnancy, but we know smoking is bad while pregnant. So, while we don't know about pot-cookies, joints are bad."

Yes, I think when I've heard about it in the past the different student age groups together were most frequently brought up as the primary cause of benefit.

Where I was wondering if there might be a connection is that a multi-grade classroom also (particularly in small schools) means that a student probably will have the same teacher for multiple years (2-4, in most of the cases I've heard of). I realize that's much less extreme than some of the cases mentioned in the article, but it may still be a secondary source of benefit.
