> As time increases, entropy increases. The balls as a system begin to increase in entropy. Entropy continues to rise towards an equilibrium.

If you know the positions and velocities of the balls at all times arguably the entropy is always zero. What defintion of entropy are you using?
I am using an Android work profile to separate work and private content and apps on my phone for a few months now. As I haven’t found much public information, I’m documenting my setup i the hope that others might find it useful.
Yup, and this is just for a single show... another show can have a different combination of hoops. For a while it felt like streaming services were seriously competing with the convenience of torrents, but I just can't be bothered with the mess it's become, the dark UX patterns, the anti-linux... the anti-user. I realised that when I started torrenting shows again that i technically had paid for that the streaming services had lost it again.
This approach lacks perspective (well duh). It reminds me of the Flatland book, when people from 3D worlds experience 2D ones.
This feels like a slap in the face. I get the privacy ramifications, but one of the really strong aspects of Signal to me was to go all-in on privacy when needed, and default to something sensible when it wasn't. I'll definitely need to reconsider whether or not to continue my monthly donation, and I don't like that at all.
Some of this goes under the name of "career counseling."

Sports psychology is probably related.

And general clinical psychotherapy might be worth considering.

I mean short of an industry mentor, you can only get general advice on mental changes and what you are trying to mitigate is dissatisfaction.

Good luck.
Awesome response. I've come across the molten salt option but havent researched in depth. I saw it referenced as something a lot of scientists are hyping up, but I am not sure what kind of engineering challenges exist for implementation and maintenance.

Second paragraph is a bit too information dense, I had trouble following some of it. Renewable energy deficiencies will be localized, so i understand how wires help here. A larger connected area produces more stability, makes sense. Agreed with the carbon reduction priority to tackle coal and oil first. Surplus renewable power acting as a subsidy checks out, but that is skirting around the energy storage problem imo. Sounds like you are saying "instead of storing renewable energy, get more than you need and sell it back to the grid and then use those funds to buy the energy back later". This would certainly work for local consumers, but doesnt do too much to help the power grid itself manage what to do with the surplus energy. Sell it to neighboring power grids? Ties in to the first point about connecting a larger area - but what are the limits here? Can we physically connect the sunny side of earth to the dark side? (ignoring that it seems logistically/legally prohibitive)

the question really comes down to what should we be spending money on to get "better storage"? What are the best solutions for long-term local storage?
I thought the phenomena was called the "Althouse Rule," from the below blog post observation.

November 8, 2005

Scientists: remember to portray whatever you find to be true of women as superior.

I've said it before, and I must repeat, the rule is: If you do scientific research into the differences between men and women, you must portray whatever you find to be true of women as superior. And when you read reports about scientific research into the differences between men and women, use the hypothesis that the scientists are following that rule. It makes reading the reports quite humorous.

Obviously they're not "growing" water. That's just the marketing spin that the company puts on it, which the journalists are using for the title. The author isn't stupid, like you seem to be assuming ... ? They're just using a name that is more likely to get attention. An article named "company reclaims water from turning tomatoes into ketchup" is a LOT less likely to get attention.
But yet, the EU is mandating the USB C “standard” without going into details about which part of the standard is required still requiring you to know whether the USB C cable will actually transmit data and at what speed will it transmit video (something that USB required iPads already do and is a standard), etc
Nobody "asked for" it. People are presented a cheap option and an expensive option, and without a strong reason to prefer the latter, choose the former.

Or people do actually prefer the slightly-more-expensive option, but it gets phased out and then there is only the cheap option and some artisanal bullshit version that costs 5x and much so only rich people buy it. Some combination of price discrimination via "quality bundling" and shrinkflation.

However I agree that the solution is to un-externalize these costs.
Those models are not trained on short loops. They are trained on whole songs just like image generation models are trained on whole images. And yet they struggle to repeat sections, modulate to a different key, create bridges, intros and outros. After a few seconds of hallucinating a melodic line they simply abandon the idea and migrate to another one. There is no global structure whatsoever.
This is beautifully rational advice. But that makes it only half-complete as a guide for people going through these events. There also needs to be advice on how to handle the emotional and irrational side of being a person.

I don't have the full set of advice to help, but I would say this is a good first step:

"Be kind to yourself."

Nobody can hurt you more than you can. Especially when other folks try and push their faults off on you.
I'm down to just using a permanent audio jack to USB c dongle for phones and my computer. Very very silly.
Don't attempt to form friendships/relationships with people you spent the most time with (including friends and family) is odd advice.

Better battery: you can't do anything with it because it's not supported. Of course you have better battery if nothing uses it.

Nicer screen: with that huge camera cutout it's just ugly.

More solid feel: if you tap the middle of the screen it feels hallow, like a cardboard box.

Better software integration: to make my apple tv to be my home hub or however it is called, I had to look up the answer. I only found the question from 12 years ago with no answer (there is no community in apple universe, just individual customers). I finally gave the answer to that question myself after a week of poking. Horrible sw integration.

Other stuff: you can't move icons where you want (what a joke!), you can't have a link to a picture on home screen, you can't... you can't... you can't... but hey look at that battery not getting drained by nothing!
Characters in a flat universe would have different sensory organs than us, talking about "sight" seems more like a translation for humans. "Sight" is a highly directional, high-resolution, low-latency sense, the physics of it... I mean the characters might not even understand it, we didn't for the vast majority of human history.

All of physics would have to be different anyway, down to really fundamental stuff like how quantities which spread from a source radially operate, since we'd be looking at perimeters rather than surface areas.
And what is your alternative? Because if you don't want to push democracy what are you pushing?

Thank you! Both have their pros and cons... I've had very good experience with cbvs on my projects but only after I was able understand every last bit of their design.

The selling point of geberic cbvs to me is that using them (with all their mixin an multiple inhetitance glory) makes it easier to re-use stuff. The parts I need to override are already there, defined by people smarter than me.

This is also possible with functional views as the article mentions but it needs much more effort and discipline to understand what needs refactoring to a function of not. This is actually more difficult and usually results to avoiding the effort and just duplicating code (I guess I'm lazy).

Functional views feel simpler but may become more complex in the end.

Since we're on the ycombinator chat -- do you think ycombinator disagrees? Do you think businesses incubated here are taught about "ethical and moral advertising at all costs" or taught about "finding market fit and scaling fast at all costs", even using aggressively successful a/b tested etc marketing that many would find distasteful?

The most likely hypothesis seems to be that there is a lot of interstellar material around the star, such that the ejecta is colliding with that and keeping it hot to keep glowing. It was a core-collapse supernova initially; the energy released from that is being absorbed and more slowly re-emitted by the thick surrounding material. (Thick in astronomical terms is still something like two hydrogen atoms per cubic meter.)

I for one welcome the change, because my phone does not have an SMS plan (data only) and the "send by SMS" is a bit confusing.

A messaging app should have one clear behavior per interface. This was "maybe secure, maybe not". I have an SMS app for that (well, VoIP-sms, because I'm weird).
It could be worse. Service is so famously bad in Germany that they invented a word for it - Funklochrepublik, which basically means "radio hole republic."
The cycle will repeat again, eventually.
Can anyone recommend a good SMS Android app?
Wait until you find out about the DHS. Unlike interactions with the FBI, it is illegal to record them*. They do not wear body cams. You have no right to a lawyer when interacting with them. They can jail you without charging you or accusing you of a crime. They can search you without probable cause or a warrant. They can put you in cuffs, take you to a hospital, and lie to doctors that you have drugs up your ass, all without a warrant, and then you'll be sent thousands in medical bills for medical services you didn't consent to**. They can stop you on the road without reasonable suspicion / PC / a warrant. They consistently have the among the worst human rights record and hire the lowest quality candidates, and arguably have the least oversight of any of the large federal law enforcement agencies.

*at the border, where most people have this interaction with their child organization CBP.

I actually saw multiple people in the Zig core team (and others) actively working on the Zig compiler in person this weekend! Development may have slowed in the last 2 weeks or so because of the SYCL conference; given the turnout I can assure you that there is no decline in people working with or on Zig long-term. If you look at the commits, issues, or the stage 2 meetings (normally held every thursday in the discord), you would also see that the project isn't on the decline. You're correct that the financial reports of the ZSF aren't up to date - these are updated manually so you can expect some delay.

I'm assuming you're the same person that made multiple new stack overflow accounts recently to ask (and answer, on a different account) this question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74040564/is-the-zig-prog... (since removed by moderators).

My question to you is: Why are you trying to force this false narrative?
> Android users are stereotypically poor... despite a large number of techies using Android

I haven't lived in a country where text bubbles used to be a thing, but I noticed this. People, even people who are smart and kind in other aspects, still cling to the easiest social cues. Doesn't matter if you wear a Margiela t-shirt or what you drive; your tinder date or a person who you just met in a bar will look at your phone and take notice. Personally, I was quite happy with Samsung flagship phones, and then not less happy with pretty cheap Xiaomi ones — they literally do anything I want in a phone. But after getting frustrated with how people read social cues, I moved back to iPhones and simply got myself the most expensive one, just for the sake of being easier to read for other people.

Obviously, it would be nice to be so laidback and independent as to not care what other people care about your wealth, but sadly, I'm not on that level yet.
This is an awful decision. I've converted some friends and family to Signal over the past years (it took a while) and it is now their default messaging app on their phones. This is going to confuse them and is going to make it difficult for me to keep convincing them that Signal is the route to use. ("Why do I need 3 apps (Android Messages, Signal, Whatsapp) to talk to people?")
What would be your definition of distributed?
I'm going to expose my political bias here: I think the only way to prevent the corruption and expansion is to keep the government small by limiting the amount of resources that are under its direct control. Just offering "of, by, and for" won't do it if there are millions of people on the payroll.

Of course, the Somali government is very small and Somali people are very free, and they aren't doing very well either.

> Also, aren't there proxies that you can setup that can inspect HTTPS connections (so long as you install the proxy's cert on your machine).

It's common for apps to prevent this with certificate pinning. They'll ignore the certs you've installed manually and will only connect to servers with certs signed by their in-house certificate authority.

I believe "SMS support" just means Signal can act as your SMS client using your existing modem & SIM card (something possible on Android), so from the carrier and phone network perspective there is no difference between this and using the stock SMS app.
They gotta make some movie where JAY-Z or another rapper beams back in time to stop autotune.

The music industry traces the beginning of its problems to Napster but that was also the time that autotune started to become ubiquitous. The industry doesn't want to hear it, because autotune speeds up production, but autotuned music washes over people without making any impression. You can put it on the radio or on a playlist but from the viewpoint of people engaging it you might as well mute the volume completely.
More precisely, societies that enforced monogamy out competed and eliminated those that didn't.

I think it is possible to have a self stable society without enforced monogamy, so long as you have a mechanism to eliminate the hoards of unnecessary males before they rise up in revolution, but it's not stable in a world where there are some societies that do enforce monogamy and therefore have more males with a stake to fight for.
I appreciate this, but I will still cherish the joy of yelling at the children on my lawn, as I slowly descend into comfortable curmudgeonhood.
Except that here in the US a non-trivial number of politicians of a particular persuasion[1] actually believe that government issued ID, of any kind, is the "mark of the beast". There's a reason that Real ID had a lot of push back. Having USPS, already a political bogey-man for that same crowd, become a holder of "identity" is probably going to face a lot of pushback.

This change will have fewer people use Signal. One reason I was able to convince friends and family to start using it is because it is so seamless. I fear that with this change, Signal for most users will simply become unused, resulting in less e2e encrypted messaging overall.
Is any judge going to convict someone of lying to the FBI for getting the weather wrong? I find it ridiculous that the FBI are going around developing assets by tripping up people with inane questions like this.
He and a large number of his supporters contest that, and believe he should run again. Independent polls suggest he would have a good chance of winning.

He is probably the only person who might actually get to enact this policy, whereas nobody in the current administration is even talking about it.

How could it be more relevant?
This seems very silly, and will probably lead to me dropping signal?
I do not like this decision. Using Signal as a main SMS provider makes it easier for me to collect all of my messages in one place. Now I have to, YET AGAIN, download an SMS app for use while keeping Signal active.

I'm glad privacy is becoming mainstream but dislike lowering the bar for adoption to where it profoundly affects users.

After reading to the end, I was surprised to see race being mentioned as a possible reason to why this person was bullied--it wasn't something I was considering up to that point. The story is one-sided, and I supposed it can only be that way. But it could be that author was naive about something that they did or was doing unintentionally to upset the SVP or someone else close to the SVP. Either way, I think the SVP's behavior was abhorrent as well as the manager's.
SMS support is literally how I got my family to switch to Signal in the first place. None of the non-techies want to switch apps or have to send the same message out multiple times in order to reach their friends and family. Having an app that provides privacy when able and still works for those not yet onboard was a godsend.

i don't want this because then more websites will start expecting strong identity verification. the last thing we need are more attacks on anonymity. at least with a private key i can say i'm joe biden or crazy horse or whoever. i may not be eligible for "government escrow" but who cares.
Nice list. I would second Ryuichi Sakamoto, Loscil, Julianna Barwick, Mary Lattimore, and Grouper for sure and there are lots of other good ones on there.

I'd add Windy & Carl, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Yui Odonera (lots from the Serein label actually), Max Richter, and most of all Stars of the Lid.
This looks like a wrapper around several popular social login. While it is convenient, I fail to see how it is decentralized. If anything, it just add another single point of failure, so it is more centralized?

As a SaaS vendor, I likely already support several social logins and email verification. Why should I switch?

If I have not implemented the social logins, I can see the convenient factor. However, social login is not that hard to implement, and if you did for one vendor, it is just mechanic to do the same to other vendors. Users are your most valuable asset so I consider it time well spent.
I think the OP's complaint can make sense on forums dedicated to answering question or solving problems. But this is a chat forum, and I think expecting every answer to relevant only to you is going to be very, very frustrating.
The network effect only results in lock-in if there's an obstacle to using multiple networks at the same time. Obviously no-one is going to carry around two phones, so that's how Apple achieves lock-in. By contrast, keeping two or more messaging apps running is trivial.

And SMS is irrelevant.
OK, then I'm going to stop using Signal after 6 years of use.
> Governments are basically the mob...

Governments are institutions. Considering the anarchic alternative, what we currently have is preferable. People as a group, the actual mob, cannot be trusted. They are irrational and are therefore potentially dangerous.

The trick is to safeguard against institutional rot.
