Your best employees can leave and you are left with the “Dead Sea Effect”
“Exercise turns out to be the closest thing to a wonder drug that self-control scientists have discovered. For starters, the willpower benefits of exercise are immediate. Fifteen minutes on a treadmill reduces cravings, as seen when researchers try to tempt dieters with chocolate and smokers with cigarettes. The long-term effects of exercise are even more impressive. It not only relieves ordinary, everyday stress, but it’s as powerful an antidepressant as Prozac. Working out also enhances the biology of self-control by increasing baseline heart rate variability and training the brain. When neuroscientists have peered inside the brains of new exercisers, they have seen increases in both gray matter—brain cells—and white matter, the insulation on brain cells that helps them communicate quickly and efficiently with each other. Physical exercise—like meditation—makes your brain bigger and faster, and the prefrontal cortex shows the largest training effect.” - Kelly McGonigal
You’re mixing up definition and policy.

If airlines banned knives and someone posted a definition of “knife” that suggested they are only used for eating food, it would be perfectly reasonable for a reply to point out that there are dangerous uses which might have led to the bad, and that it’s disingenuous to suggest that the ban was obviously motivated by a desire to make eating difficult.

It’s still fair to debate the balance of use and the merits of the ban, but IMO it is not reasonable to be upset over a more complete definition and context.

Interesting, but is there any chance that this might be upstreamed to LLVM proper? The 6502 is a well-understood ISA, so having a backend for it might be quite convenient. The static stack allocation feature in this implementation (for non-reentrant functions) is also super cool and might be useful for more than just the 6502.
I think it's less important how high are the fees right now. The fact tomorrow the fees could increase to $1000 makes the system unreliable for long term investments.
The crypto payments for example had few real chances to become mainstrean but their limitations(high transaction fees, high congestion, low throughput) proved they are not practical.
I want my health back... before Long Covid, I used to dream of not working... and here I am, can't work... scraping by though, so I don't need to.

I want a lab, with a machine shop, and the ability to fabricate anything, like Dan Gelbart. I'd just spend my days making stuff, perhaps trying to build a semiconductor fab fab like Sam Zeloof is doing. (Yes, machines that make fab lines)

I want a personal megawatt, with which I could extract metals from the dirt in the back yard, or whatever.

At this point, however, I'd like to just have a situation where people can ask me questions that they are stuck on, and I can dig back into all the things I've learned and read, and seen, and pull out some answers that can help them. And maybe get paid to do that, so I can buy a few toys.

It's not my solution, it's Musk's, and I agree it was naive. (But to be fair, that was only part of his solution - the other part was that Twitter was enforcing the agreement.)

I'm just saying that getting service terminated for failing to honor the agreement is not a free speech issue.

Your comment is a loaded straw man, and you've confused being offensive and taking offense as a single event when it is two separate and distinct events. I never said anything about fault. I only referred to responsibility. Ultimately, we are each responsible for our own actions. Taking offense is an action. Even if an individual's emotional response is involuntary, that individual alone is responsible for their emotion.

I can tell you that being thin-skinned is just as much a symptom of mental illness as being offensive, and they usually go hand-in-hand: the most offensive individuals are usually also the most overly sensitive individuals.

That particular code came from a bit reader class. So, if you are reading only a few bits per call, then the read call becomes very cheap. It might be as "simple" as this pseudocode

if ( offset + requestedBitCount < 64 ) {
offset += requestedBitCount;
return ( bitBuffer >> offset ) & nLowestBitsSet( requestedBitCount );
}

And yes, I think the eof call might have been too complex especially in contrast to the short read call. It probably should only check a flag that might be set by the read call automatically.

How old are you (roughly)?

When I was in my 20s and 30s, my health varied a lot; sometimes I was sedentary and sometimes I was very active. But I never noticed a cognitive effect.

Now that I'm well into my 40s, it's very noticeable when I've been off the exercise wagon. Not day to day, but definitely on timescales of a week or two. When I'm active, my recall is sharper and my memory clearer. I also feel this with my diet (real vs. processed foods) and drinking.

> Bankman-Fried was a major donor to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and is the primary donor to the Protect Our Future PAC, the political action committee which endorsed Democratic candidates such as Peter Welch, who this week won his bid to become Vermont’s next senator, and Robert J. Menendez of New Jersey, who secured a House seat.

Is that an issue, and if yes why does that need to be addressed?

So what if Sam, or Bernie Madoff were Democratic politician contributors [1]
>".. Alleged Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff has been a major political donor, directing hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic lawmakers over the past two decades." [1]

While certainly, several attributes of these people seem to be 'in-common'.

But they just chose to contribute to whoever they though has judicial, legislative and economic power at the time.

If it would be libertarians, or constitutional conservatives (the new MAGA folks) that could influence judicial and legislative powers, then they would have received the contributions.

It just happened to be Democrats for the time periods that Sam and Bernie were active. It is not that the Democrats 'enabled' them.

So I do not see how this article is bringing light to something, that it is not.

No, I'm talking about the exchange rate. I don't care what bitcoin means internally or how it functions, I care about what it's worth on the market today and tomorrow, because there's no to way live in the purely crypto world.

That's the whole point of a currency, that you and I agree that some instrument of value will stay consistent enough to transact with. Crypto is just not there because the ecosystem is full of scams. You could design a perfectly federated system that's worthless because bad actors abuse the platform.

Ask HN: Programming without a build system?
I'm an old MS-DOS / Windows programmer used to Turbo Pascal, Delphi, etc. The old days were simple, in that you compiled code, and gave it to your customers. Everything just works.

Now every time I try to learn something new... there's always a build system in the way, with MSTOICAL it was Autoconf, with switching to Linux, I couldn't get WikidPad to build on Linux, trying to build a lifeboat for Twitter, Python works, but then modules require builds that break.

Is it possible to have a system without Make or the like?

Alternatively, any good resources for the above?
The logic makes sense, especially if you consider sensory negotiation its own special activity using various cognitive tools.

But also, there are some very interesting layers of things going on.

In talking to various athletes about running, the mental process and related result of the activity sometimes seems completely different from person to person to a stark degree.

As an example, some long-distance runners experience running as a de facto journaling exercise, as they are able to benefit from an ongoing internal monologue. So the results are similar to getting free mental wellness care for as long as you care to run.

So, that's also a lot of what we'd call growth and development going on.

They also report that this is unique to running for them, IOW they don't experience this sitting at a desk.

And that's just one example process and outcome, with others being similarly prized, if completely different.

(If this was something I experienced myself, I think I might be a distance runner too... It's pretty cool.)
Exercising is just more honest than using brain, for say, reasoning with words. In the order, I will say 1. Physical Exercise 2. Building Something that stands by itself and works, 3. Solving a well defined problem are all honest undertakings. In real messy world, we deal with ambiguities and people, and it requires some skill reduce them to the above three and be honest about it.

The ability to track the private jets of the 1% is one of the weirder things I would not have considered this 21st Century would provide.

It feels a bit like a check/balance on the uber-wealthy but I'm not sure exactly how. I have to imagine though that the privileged that own these jets are not pleased; and I am coming to find that the things that make the 1% uncomfortable give me some small comfort. Maybe it shows that you can't buy your way out of all accountability?
For some definition of "getting one working".

Getting a Lisp to run efficiently and effectively is more difficult than just writing an interpreter. I consider work on this problem to still be incomplete. For example, it should be possible to implement generic functions even more efficiently in Common Lisp implementations than is currently the case, in a way that preserves the ability to redefine the functions (and the classes they work with) dynamically. Robert Strandh has been working on general mechanisms supporting this and other improvements.

This perspective, while common, is a baffler in context. Start by assuming Aboriginal Australians aren't stupid. Note that whoever owns the land will, assuming they are intelligent or compassionate, develop it to support the the seething mass of humans who need steel.

Aboriginals don't live like poor people because they have a deep philosophical connection to lousy accommodation and dodgy services. They live that way if and only if they are poor. We can respect that, we can acknowledge the dignity of generations of a lifestyle without the comforts of industrialisation, we could potentially accept that there is no need to integrate them into an industrial culture by external policy (I argue we should leave them to it as far as government policy goes, but I tend to lose that sort of argument). Give them standard ownership rights a vast amount of valuable land and they'll choose to live like people who own vast amounts of valuable land. Particularly given that there are about a billion people in Asia who will be vastly better off if they have more cheap steel - that argument should melt any heart, particularly given the amount of profit involved as a motivator. The minerals will get mined.

Thanks for some explanation. And yeah, I'm probably not up to date on CSS-in-JS, just remember it being really clunky to use before I ended up in an elm-shop a few years back. I'd say that emotion does look similar to what I've described, and nearly there. And I don't think there is anything doable in elm that's not doable in TS/React (it's rather the opposite, elm is the restricted one, mainly on purpose). My point about ergonomics was mostly that it's just elm all the way. No strings or objects or new concepts. The CSS you write in elm is mostly indistinguishable from the other elm view code (html etc) you write, it's all the same syntax etc. While for emotion and others, there is a clear divide in what's React and what's styling, and difference in how you do stuff.

Which is what matters most in that equation (see Bezos, Musk, Zuckerburg et al), I mentioned to some people in our circles that I honestly thought this guy was going to end up in rendition black-site when he announced he was going to start getting into political donations/lobbying.

The State doesn't take this kind of stuff lightly, and using his distorted perception of alturism made him a massive target, but when someone listed all his family connections and links to academia and government I realized that he was just another insider cosplaying at being a 'disruptor' like most of the valley does.

Honestly, he should be rotting in a cell working manual labour next to the woman's prison Elizabeth Holmes will be and sharing a cell with Sunny if there is any justice, but I fear they will get a light sentence and some years on house arrest and will end with early releases and probation given how things turn out for their tier of the legal system.

Show HN: Print Stable Diffusion prompts on shirts
Hey HN! I’ve been working on a way to make AI generated art more practical (and tactile). BadBotDesign is an early version of a generative shirt tool using a few custom versions of Stable Diffusion + up-resolution to make the designs ready to print on products. You enter a prompt and then can get a high quality soft shirt delivered straight to your door with whatever image you create. You can also order other people’s prompts. I’ve actually really enjoyed wearing some of the random designs random people have made so far.
If people like it enough, it could be fun to continue adding features like better variations and styles, as well as more products, and maybe it could make sense to let people sell their prompts here and get royalties on sales or something? Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated!
Exercise is healthy. Full stop.

The body / mind paradigm is false. There is no separation. They are deeply - and wisely - entangled.

The brain is an organ, and organs in aggregate benefit from exercise. The result is a healthier system / unit.

Are puzzels and such a bad thing? No. But they're not going to fix a compromised, or too often, broken system.

You gotta be real careful when generalising like this. A human-like robot is generally going to struggle to be faster and stronger than a human, even for a pre-programmed action. The robots which are faster and/or stronger are purpose-built (and usually are stronger because they are much larger). But also robots can be super-fast at object recognition. See automatic sorting machines, for example, which can process data extremely quickly to reject bad fruit/veg/cooked crisps/etc from a full conveyor belt. Everything is a tradeoff: there are multiple avenues in which robots will beat humans every time and many where robots are not even close on multiple fronts, not just cognitive.
