Of course, democracy should never infringe on the inalienable rights of man, and any proper republic has mechanisms to limit the passions of the mob. I simply find it amusing that the same political movement that so often claims to want to "defend democracy" everywhere (voting rights for felons, making courts more "accountable" through court-packing, eliminating the Electoral College, etc) is also the one that does the most complaining about issues being "politicized" whenever the democratic process disagrees with the unprinicpled, unaccountable expert class consensus.

"The hunt takes place during the hottest time of the day, with maximum temperatures of about 39–42 C. Before starting, the hunters drink as much water as they can."

"A prerequisite for persistence hunting would have been the invention of water containers. In contrast to horses and camels, humans cannot consume large amounts of water at one time. Human thermoregulation requires considerable water for evaporative cooling, and this would have made it essential to carry water in containers."

It was in the news yesterday that the amount of people identifying as Catholics has overtaken Protestants for the first time on record in Northern Ireland. I don’t think it will be too long in the overall scheme of things until they rejoin Ireland, especially if Scotland can make a break for it first. If things get worse over the next two years I think Sturgeon’s going to have a really strong mandate for independence, especially if Tories somehow manage to get re-elected. Will be harder for her if Starmer gets in.

This is a fundamental, yet common, misunderstanding of how the system works. I hate to break it to you, but you're way off base on this one.
One possibility is that they have fewer regions than something like AWS, so they can put their data centers somewhere where they get favorable electricity/cooling costs.

shrug To do my actual job, I have to implement on deprecated APIs all the time. Deprecation is a declaration of intent, but intent rams into reality and changes continuously.

There are two types of deprecated APIs: ones nobody uses and ones everybody uses. Sounds like Mozilla mis-guessed on which one of those Shadow Dom v0 would be.

(From my limited experience: I bet while the Chrome team was trying to deprecate shadow dom v0, YouTube, which still operates as a pretty independent arm inside the Google ecosystem, built a new system on Polymer and in terms of Google's management architecture, nobody has authority to tell them not to do that. Far from an intentional shafting of other browsers, it was likely a failure to coordinate internally coupled with total apathy regarding what that meant for other browsers, since from YouTube's point of view, Chrome is free and available to everyone.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by disorganized-bag-of-cats management style).
>This is nonsensical.

Whats nonsensical is thinking people will vote to increase taxes on themselves to improve public infrastructure if it doesn't benefit them.

This is called burnout, you don't fix it by doing more work - including self study.

Take a long weekend every few weeks, go to yosemite. Or fly to vegas and cut loose. Pick up golf or pickleball or whatever. Make some friends who aren't engineers and live a bit.

Then you can come back to work with a fresh mind and care enough to get your shit done well.

Ask HN: Any examples of recursive/chaining AI tools?
I was thinking about all of the recent tools that have popped up for AI over the last few years and wondered if anyone chained all of them together and then iterated on it like 100k times. For example: put in a simple piece of text to GPT-3 and have it expand the text, then feed that into Stable Diffusion. Take that result and use it as a source image for Dall-E, then take that and use AI to generate a description of the image and then have GPT-3 expand on that, feed it into stable diffusion, so-on and so-forth until you have done it 100k times. I imagine the result would be really weird and am curious if you have seen or done that?
>To claim that this neuters adblocking is truly ridiculous. It also ignores that Safari has the exact same restrictions yet no one complains that Apple wanted to neuter ad blocking.

I think it's more nuanced than that. Working around adblockers is hard right now, because there are many different types, and the ones that leverage onBeforeRequest() are the hardest to work around, and are VERY popular.

So widespread working around declarative and DNS based adblocking isn't happening, because the publishers rightly recognize it would just drive people to better adblockers.

But, once all adblockers are declarative only, it could be an effort worth taking.

Also, the Safari comparison is hard because Apple devices do many other things to shore up their adblocker. It has a larger allowed list, and comes along with everything else Apple does to protect privacy and customer-specific targeted ads.

Last, if it was really a nothingburger, I'm curious why mobile Chrome has never allowed Chrome extensions.

The most plausible explanation is that people are just easy to predict. Might be tough to admit, but that’s actually a much simpler explanation than Facebook having a back door into our messages, which are end-to-end encrypted.

As others above me have thoroughly explained, there are numerous ways Facebook could figure out what you’re reading about/listening to/viewing on the internet, which ultimately drives what you are chatting with your friends about. Reading your messages would actually be the most difficult and low fidelity way for them to try to mine this information. They can just see your entire browsing history and extract from there, since the majority of website have a tracking cookie that in some way phones home to Facebook.
Thank you for the help :D
It is probably pretty dependent on your particular work situation, but if you have some freedom in your daily tasks, you could try inserting more interesting small things in amongst the grind.

For example in my job (quite dull) I automated some data collection, stored the data in a database, created a web app to present data from the database, ran it all on a server etc. None of it was anything my boss would have given me as an explicit task, but it was useful stuff that I could make a case for. It was also stuff I hadn't done before and was interested in learning how to do.

Granted, the weight of crappy project management decisions eventually became too much for me to put up with, but for a while I quite liked going in to work and setting up my mini-projects.

Google get to pick the metric. They can easily choose "TotalCPU time spent by Chrome over the past week" vs "CPU time expended in the extension scripts in the past week".

Remember that whatever matric they pick must be automatically measurable by the end users machine - and loading a page with and without an ad blocker isn't that.

oh but they already did - All extensions are ignored and pushed into lower priority thread when you are starting browser and the first page loads. Everything is set to prioritize that time to first page load. Result is first page loaded when browser starts often manages to skip all adblockers.

In mainstream Lisp, there have only been S- and M- expressions (mnemonic: sado-maso). Other such prefixes have been used in specific projects.

The "Q-expression" terminology, as far as I can tell, exists only in the "Build your own Lisp" project. They are an object type deeply in integrated into the run-time with its own tag. An expression object type tagged as a Q-expression rather than an ordinary expression is treated as a self-evaluating object by the evaluator.

It's a different approach to quoting, in a dialect that doesn't use Lisp-like lists for representing the program and uses if/else ladders in C that call strcmp to identify and dispatch operators instead of implementing symbols, an iconic feature of Lisp.

In the 1970's, the MDL language (pronounced "muddle") featured two kinds of cons objects with different type tags, both capable of representing list structure. One had a printed notation with angle brackets to distinguish it and give it print/read consistency. The angle bracket forms were given different semantics. See HN discussion here [2019]:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19700045

MDL made parenthesized expressions self-evaluating like (1 2 3) -> (1 2 3), while the angle bracket ones have Lisp-like evaluation semantics.

So, in the terminology of "Build your own Lisp", (1 2 3) is effectively a Q-expression in MDL; MDL is one example of prior art for this.
The reason it's hard to customize scrolling is probably that it worked perfectly well in the first place. The solution is to stop messing with it.
The gravitational acceleration at the surface is proportional to M/r^2 (where M is the mass and r is radius), and the mass should be proportional to r^3 assuming (big assumption here, but still) the density is constant.

IMO, it is pretty notable that the acceleration at the surface is only linearly proportional the the radius for a constant density, I'd expect something much worse.

Of course we can play with the density but chemistry is, like, way harder than physics.
This (posting) is therapy .. and you can also pay for better quality / holistic therapy.

Observe your situation (gather details of the 'problem') & you'll likely naturally make some headway at resolving your difficulties.

Example:

Why did you take the job in the first place?

What excites you about the current job?

There are many reasons to be de-motivated. Something wrong about the job. Something about you. Something that's unconscious, for you, it seems currently. Focus on observing the flow:

* your sensory experience ("my butt really hurts today sitting in this chair")

* => thoughts ("this job requires that I spend a lot of time backing-up what I'm working on with evidence of progress, for the sake of my Manager's approval, and for my Manager's own upward-mobility")

* => evoked memories ("when I was young, Rob took my pencil and claimed I had stolen it from him in the first place")

* => feelings ("this job offends me")

* => and follow-on thoughts ("to be successful at this job I'm going to have to become a different person than who I am now, how am I going to do that, do I want to do that. I really prefer that people just trust me, and not require proof and evidence that I am Good at my Job.").

My mind often has a general Sense > Thought > Memory > Feeling flow in my experience.

It's actually not. The reason he mentioned what's going on on the inside is not what you think is going on by looking from the outside.

Sit in that same position, and then do a lift part way. At some point, you'll find a "spring" balance, where you can autonomously drum your leg. The muscle that is doing that triggered flex is the only muscle you are focusing on with the Soleus Pushup. Except for the SP, you are triggering it with a pause instead of letting your leg hammer. That rest will allow you to do the move indefinitely without muscle fatigue in that muscle only. It's a bit like your heart beat. Other than the pause, the distance you aim upward for, and the catch (the small bounce right before your heal falls to the ground), the move is way more like this leg drumming than any calf raise, but slower and with rest strokes.

Incidentally, you can google the paper, which includes graphs of the muscle use. The two main muscles engaged for calf raises are only nominally activated (because it's pretty hard not to flex with this move) but the Soleus is doing way more of the work.

So visibly it is pretty much identical to a calf raise. But what is driving the motion is totally different. Plus you limit to only 1% of your body weight. That muscle specifically has that spring action the surrounding muscles don't have, and uses nutrients entirely differently in order to be that way.

After a half-hour of doing this, just like cycling, your body enters a metabolic state, which means that muscle is eating up fats and sugars from your blood at a much higher rate than normally. Then you keep going from there because your Soleus is the one demanding the nutrients.

> flagship at $1000+ than multiple basic cards at $150

Those aren't even the same market segment.

The type of person buying a flagship card would not even be considering a basic card and vice-versa.

Also, a part of me used to get frustrated at the existence of the "basic" cards, like the GT 1030. I've seen more than one person wanting to build a gaming PC and see a budget card like that and think they're getting a current-gen card without knowing that the budget cards are horrendously underpowered. For example, the GT 1030 is about the speed of a GTX 470, a mid-grade card from 7 years before it.

Maybe some people are fine getting that weak of a card, but if that's all you need, I'd question if you even need a discrete GPU.
Just a few things to note here...

I wrote the original "Wife swipes open the phone" comment, so that's the context you seem to be missing. Sure you can see a little dot on your phone when YOU run some experiment today and look for it, but was that indicator available in the exact situation where the targeted ad was displayed? No.

Also, this incident happened in the past and we know there have been dramatic API changes on both Apple and Facebook products. The limits of the API today don't reflect the capabilities that were available to developers in the past. I doubt Facebook is hacking the App Store process to use hidden APIs. It was probably just available in the past and my wife granted the facebook app complete access to the mic, so they took what they wanted.

I'd make sure to disable that permission today too, just in case.

One last thing is I just opened my iPhone again and hit record. I honestly didn't see the tiny orange pixel at the top of my phone until you pointed it out. I was basically looking for the green video indicator light to show. So I'm technically wrong about NO indication, you're welcome.

The "public health experts" are not angels of God, infallible messengers of Reality itself come down from Heaven to deliver the Gospel Of The Science to an unworthy populace. They are fallible human beings, they made many mistakes and their priorities don't always align with everyone else's. The inalienable rights of man, as re-affirmed in the First Amendment, give everyone the right to worship whomever they wish however they wish; I am therefore free to deny Saint Anthony of Bethesda's divinity as loudly and publicly as I desire.

> liability for failures in a design remains fully with that design’s engineer of record

> So if a bridge fails because the supplier of rebar messed up the heat treatment

Is a failure of a bridge necessarily a failure in a design? Or do we distinguish between a physical project which uses a design from the design itself? If the materials were bad, whether or not the construction team had some responsibility to re-test those materials prior to using them (is this common?), it doesn't seem like evidence that the _design_ failed.
