> except somehow I managed to survived.

We don't have many deaths from hikers and trampers. Most are from falls, others from drowning. I'm sure you prepared for the hike, many tourists do not and it's often national news when someone goes missing off a trail.

If you go for long tramps, you take your own food and shelter. And hopefully either an emergency beacon or check the area for cell service.

The fact you were there for 3 days, I assume you either never told anyone where you were - and they weren't aware you were stranded, and you didn't have any method for contacting emergency services.

If you did have a method for contacting them, if you have food, they'll quite happily let your suffer for up to 5 days as they know hypothermia is unlikely, you'll either be a little dehydrated or hungry - but provided you're not injured, they'll let you trek back on your own - they'll only send people out if you don't come back after a few more days. If you were injured, they'd have sent the Westpac helicopter to you within a week (when it's convenient or you're on a flight path convenient to other rescues). Most of the time that helicopter is used for immediate evacuation scenarios (strokes, heart attacks, etc) - and hikers usually aren't in that bucket.

They might be miserable, but being hungry with a shattered ankle, you're not a priority.
My moral belief is that being blasted with blinding amounts of light amounts to trespass and/or assault, and fully justifies a forceful response against the source of aggression (namely, the billboard). Obviously this is not going to be accepted as a legal argument, but if I'm not worried about the legal repercussions, I feel more than justified in taking matters into my own hands - for example, by cutting power to fixed billboards or by damaging vehicle-mounted billboards when sufficiently low-legal-risk.

There may or may not be groups of people doing this already and posting about it in certain venues...
NATO should work with Ukraine to establish an air defense zone in western Ukraine. This would provide a haven for Ukrainians who have had to flee their country due to Russia's terrorism. What Russia is doing is unacceptable, and it is having a material impact on NATO countries.

Interesting take, you're supposed to think about what needs to be done before 'going into the flow' to do it.

But yes, sometimes this waste time because you discover afterwards that what you did wasn't what should have been done, if you were less focused on doing it you may have changed your mind before.
Is there a plausible situation where you'd be unable to acquire food for a couple of years and then you'd start being able to acquire food?
I don’t expect any laws to really change this any time soon, but the billboards in Times Square are about as egregious in this regard as it possibly could get.

> "Wiki article on Calicor the cat spy"

Calicor was a Scottish Fold kitten. He was given to MI5 by the Chief Constable of the Birmingham City Police in 1941. The cat was first used by MI5 to carry a message to his handler, in the event of a German invasion. The message was in the form of a sheet of paper with a message written on it. The paper was then placed in the pocket of a kitten's collar.
The message generated with the hyperlink for creating a PR is actually done server-side, you can customize any git server to do this, more or less. So yes, it should behave approximately the same assuming you can just do the basic push interactions.
Thanks for the post! I find that other voice assistants (eg. Siri) are not particularly able to detect the activation command when there's any background sound (like music with lyrics). How does your system perform against this?

I understand that you're doing batch processing asynchronously and so any immediate task isn't affected; but it's arguably even more of a problem where you record a task, put it out of your mind, but then the AI fails to detect the command because it got confused by the background?

[EDIT] I see you've sort of responded to this already at this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33612155

Agreed. The DS is a similar size to the GBA, but it’s much bigger and heavier. Even as a kid I could have a GBA in my pocket and not think too much of it. And the horizontal form factor was really nice to hold. The only really flaw was the lack of backlit screen.
I think exactly the same. Even though the SP design was more successful and influential for consoles like the DS series, the shape of the original GBA is not only very comfortable but also pretty darn iconic!

Wikipedia says: «As of December 31, 2009, the Game Boy Advance series has sold 81.51 million units worldwide, 43.57 million of which are Game Boy Advance SP units and 2.42 million of which are Game Boy Micro units.»

So, the SP was the most sold version, but I can't name a single GBA emulator that uses its design as the logo.
I didn't realize this (back country newb, hence why I had the InReach) but I have heard horror stories about bills. Thanks for letting me know.

I actually loved the SP, perfect form factor for your pocket.

It seems that most of you are ignoring that there are plenty of actors out there that actively seek destruction and ways to promote it. It's not that people are stupid. Many people of power are both intelligent and actively evil, as in-- working against your interests of survival--especially when their positions are threatened.

In fact, in some rare scenarios, nuclear destruction might even make logical sense to someone in power. One such scenario is evening out the playing field when you are way behind everyone else in the race. Do you recall how playing the "Armageddon" card in certain scenarios of Worms could actually help you win?
The Untold Story of Konqueror, the Forgotten Browser That Conquered the Market
Forget the CLI. VSCode implements a ton of git features as commands, which can be bound to any keybindings. For me this is way faster than CLI, as I don’t even need to leave my text editor - I have it set up chorded, so AltG followed by P,U,C,Y, will push (actually sync), pull, commit, undo, respectively. Two keystrokes beats any CLI interaction I’ve seen.

It would be fine to say that Bankman-Fried associated with or publicly endorsed the EA movement, those are both accurate statements of fact. The NYTimes is going further, saying he was actually "bound to a commitment", elevating Bankman-Fried's claim of sincere altruistic motive to a fact.

I don't think professional journalists make this sort of mistake by accident, and if they did, it shouldn't have gotten past the editors.
HTTP Strict Transport Security

It allows servers to specify that browsers should never even attempt to make an unencrypted request to the site and instead silently convert any such requests to encrypted requests.

This header is good for security but it’s also convenient for old sites that don’t want to update their existing links. They can upgrade the whole site to HTTPS without any content changes.

Fair point, but it is not clear to me that Sapling is better than Git. I haven’t seen anything in its docs or in the comments here where I haven’t thought of a way to do it with Git.

I wonder what the cost benefit analysis would be: how many developers hours have been expended building Sapling so far, vs a list of things it can do that Git cannot.

And I guess it bears repeating that I’m interested in possibility and not aesthetics.

Eventually the hitch thing that attaches to the front part of the truck snapped and sent it flying into the air and then sliding down the road, it blocked the entire 3 lane road. I checked to make sure the guy was fine and then left when the police showed up.

Ironically, I had a Bura beer [0] with my food at a cafe as I was waiting for the rain to stop. I got hme to Istria pretty late, and all my patio furniture was tossed up, The Bura is no joke, but it has a cleansing effect; everything felt lighter after that storm.

Prompt: "Dog food creation society":

Dog food creation societies were created in the 1960s as an attempt to find a solution to the problem of obesity in dogs. They were created by breeders, pet food companies, and veterinarians. The societies were created to promote the idea that dogs should not be fed dry kibble, and that they should instead be fed wet food.

The first dog food creation society was created in 1963 by a veterinarian in Portland, Oregon. The veterinarian, Dr. Edwin W. Hoyt, was frustrated with the fact that dog owners were overfeeding their dogs, and that the dry kibble being fed to them was contributing to obesity in dogs. Hoyt founded the American Dog Food Association (ADFA), and its main focus was to promote the idea that dogs should not be fed dry kibble. The ADFA's first convention was held in 1964, and by 1967, the ADFA had over 2,000 members. In 1969, Hoyt published the first edition of The Dog Owner's Manual, a book that was created to help dog owners select the right type of food for their dogs. The ADFA had 2,200 members in 1970, and in 1971, Hoyt sold the ADFA to Nestlé, which had been producing wet dog food for several years.

In 1968, the American Association of Pet Food Manufacturers (AAPF) was founded. The AAPF was created to promote the idea that dogs should be fed wet food. The AAPF's main focus was to educate the public about the benefits of feeding wet food to dogs. In 1971, the AAPF had 110
Correct. I got that quote from their website.
Sure, a company can go bankrupt. A bond can be defaulted on. But one can evaluate those risks based on information about those companies and have a principled and fact-based approach to estimating a _value_ rather than merely guessing a _price_.

My objection to BTC is not that one can get burned. I don't know how to be more clear about this without repeating myself.

Suppose I start a new lottery and sell tickets. I announce nothing about the odds of any payout or perhaps even when the drawing will take place, but tickets are finite in number, and are transferable. If you can buy a ticket at auction, how much should you pay? In a different context, I hope people would complain that there is not enough information to answer. But on crypto exchanges, people seem happy to say "I just don't want to pay too much more than the last buyer."

In contrast, suppose my friend starts a raffle, selling tickets for a dollar, and makes clear that the pot is exactly one dollar per ticket sold. Yes, anyone buying a ticket can lose 100% of what they put in, but it's also easy to see that the expected value of a ticket is $1. If you have the opportunity to buy a 2nd hand ticket for less than $1, it's in some sense rational to do so, depending on your own risk tolerances. If I try to sell a ticket for $1.25, people can immediately see that it is overpriced. This is entirely consistent with the fact that the outcome for any particular ticketholder is highly variable.

Thanks, good to hear some agreement, and I share your hope even if I'm growing more pessimistic by the day.

It always creates a stir to point out the absurdity of our current predicament. If I was a psychologist I might conclude that this is because many actually share my deep sense of despair, but can see no other solution that to trod on "in the machine" so to speak. I can sympathize, but we need to start doing something, to prod the diplomats in the right direction if nothing else.

Well, I knew where their tent was, but when the two walked out, they sent me the spot to meet them, and left the InReach up top.

By the straightest path, they had about 5 miles to go. I had about 12 of bad road. I got there an hour late and thought I missed them. I spent another 2 hours looking for them before finally finding them (at dusk). I was actually about to leave and go call S&R. It turns out, the path path of least resistance turned into 10 miles, which is why it took so long. One had mild hypothermia when I found them.

Ultimately, I wouldn't have known they were trying to walk out unless they could text me. Location is super helpful, and I wish we had more than one InReach as a group, as I would have found them more easily.
This is probably a nonstandard variant of European date order, yielding YYYY-DD-MM.

Usually when the year goes first or when there are hyphens as delimiters, it's an ISO 8601-style date (YYYY-MM-DD). However, Europeans often write DD/MM in other contexts, so the habit could transfer over when writing the year first, even though there's no standardized format that does this.

Question, does anyone know if laying people off would save a huge amount of money? Just the guaranteed advertising revenue for twitter was almsost a billion dollars, with 7k workers salary cost seems to be about that much. So the layoffs maybe saved them 5-10% equivalent of annual revenue, is that roughly correct?

You know what my theory is? This smells like what I was watching on cable news in '07, there are people in wallstreet that are trying to cause a recession so they can profit from shorts or something. You can cut on cloud infrastructure and other stuff in the rest 60-80% of operational cost centers but following the layoff trend only guarantees one thing: less economic/consumer activity which will cascade into the rest of the economy.

Absolutley nothing of significance has changed between Q1 and Q4 nationwide that warrants the stock dives and demands of layoffs. Inflation was rising at about the same rate, people do spend less but from what I hear it is about the same as early 2020. So, strategic layoffs make sense but panic trend following smells like there is more happening behind the scenes.

To this day, even after watching all the documentaties about the cause of the '08 crash I still believe the root cause was panic that cascaded to industries outside of housing and insurance. Smart enough investors would have counted and even promoted panic selling.

Creating out of thin air is step 1.

Step 2 is for Alameda to deposit on FTX, and then withdraw 95% of its notional value in USD or say BTC/ETH. Then on FTX they have a negative balance on this matched by a positive balance in FTT or other Sam coins. The USD or BTC/ETH withdrawn comes from someone on platform who has clicked "lend" on their positive balance of same in exchange of some yield.

To be fair, any user could do that, deposit shitcoin, withdraw non-shit, up to 100% of the funds where people had clicked "lend" and that without any fraud. If the value of the shitcoin collapsed their account just got zeroed and FTX took the corresponding loss on their books.

The list of shitcoins allowed in this genius scheme is still up:
