A buddy of mine is definitely a better songwriter than I am and he has in fact written a song about me!

It would have been sometime in the late 2000s and I was visiting dear old dad in Christchurch, NZ, and my buddy James, aka Lawrence Arabia was playing a gig at the Wonderbar in nearby Littleton on Christmas Eve. I happened to meet a nice young lady, shit you not, named Eve, and we ended back at her place… her parent’s place. At 2am on Christmas Eve. Then her dad comes down and finds us fooling around on the couch in front of the tree. My ride had left hours ago so I had to call up pops. Surprisingly he was very pleased with my escapades and not too bothered with the wake up call.

Here’s James’s take on the event: https://fabulousarabia.bandcamp.com/track/give-me-love-tonig...

While it’s a fine song, it is definitely not his best, and I’m sure he’d admit that it is not as good as my better ones!

It is, however, better than my song about that night: https://williamcotton.bandcamp.com/track/eve-of-eve

My wife and I, complete strangers beforehand, were two of maybe 15 people who went to see James play at a small bar in SF about ten years ago. That dude has been getting me laid for decades!

Anyways, unless I happen to steal a steam engine high on cocaine or some other act of epic folklore there’s no chance in hell that some songwriter out there is ever going to write a better song about my life than yours truly.

If it somehow happened it would be an amazing honor.

A lot of people complain with SaaS that take a cut on revenue, when it’s not justified.
For instance, if you are a payment processor, it makes sense to price based on the volume of transaction (your risk/work increases with the volume of transaction).
But if you’re a « pure » SaaS, like a Sales commission software, would it make sense to take a cut on the amount of commission you manage?
As sib notes, this is sort of trying to beat them at their own game. I think the better move is to reject the proposition that far future population estimates/EV calculations of various projects are meaningful at all, on the grounds that the further out we project the more sensitive to errors or noise in the initial input said calculations are (aka the butterfly effect). We have ample evidence that we (humans) are great at short term predictions, okay at medium term predictions, and pretty shit at long term predictions. The longtermists presume to be an exception to this rule, but they should not be given so much credit. (Also I don't think our mathematical edifices should be considered as separate from us, as they are still artifacts/products of human reasoning, though I know this is a whole other can of worms).
It's even worse. She cycles through, as in multiple times with each group. The church knows her issues, so they cycle her through 3-4 small groups for a few months at a time so that she's included and taken care of but not overly burdensome on any particular group of people.

I believe I've seen this before, but did this used to be called blobfish? Or am I misremembering that due to the mascot (which is excellent)
> Almost of the Republican dollars went to RINOs too. Specifically those that voted to impeach Trump so the whole bipartisan angle is bullshit.

Roughly half the money went to Republicans, yet you say donations were _not_ bipartisan? Or am I misunderstanding you?
I have a close friend who is in that exact same situation with his mother. She lost her job, her husband lost his job, she's representing herself in a vaccine lawsuit (Spoilers: it's not going well), and she is completely incapable of being a human being around her children, all of it because she's fully committed to the Qult.

This isn't advanced age mental decline, this is just the consequence of a garbage-in-garbage-out information diet, and every nutty group building their own Facebook echo chamber.
If by country you mean the people who live there, yes.

If you mean whatever oligarchy is nominally in charge, well, the bankers can make sure they’re taken care of as long as the interest payments keep rolling in.
Check out the emacs-devel@gnu.org list sometime. It's incredibly well run and is in my opinion the secret sauce that keeps the project running.
Two things I like to see trailed in music recommendation algorithms would be:

1. Associations happen at a song level. At the moment when artists are recommended you get what I call the "Red Hot Chilli Peppers" effect. That is, the artist that basically everyone seems to have in common in their playlists is RHCP. Instead, I think the recommendations should be more granular, at a song level. Artists can diverge quite wildly in style between individual songs (Ween being an extreme example of this). Take for example Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvrOzYtnLMA) this is great song but wildly different from say "War Pigs". In fact, it's a dubby, groovy slow jam.

2. Weight follow on plays more highly. So taking War Pigs in the point above. I listen to Planet Caravan and it makes me think of this great remix of Wicked Game by Trentemoller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph4z3u7IwrM). A totally unrelated artist and genre yet somehow linked in my mind. My assumption is that people that listen to Planet Caravan would also have a high likelihood of enjoying the Wicked Game remix because it has a similar... vibe I guess?

Anybody want to collaborate on building a recommendation engine around these two points? I'd be more than happy to record what I listen to as training data for it.
The only site that finds better similar artist matches for me is https://www.metal-archives.com.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I'm not suggesting you should do the same productive achievement all your life. Life changes and so should your goals as time moves on.

Also, why are you having children if your only goal is to get rid of them? Yes, part of having children is hoping and preparing for them to eventually be independent adults, but that's hardly the only thing raising children is about.
It could be the opposite of what you're thinking and that they are not actually Trump fans, but getting angry about still having to deal with Trump. This describes a lot of the older folks that I know.
It will be simple man.

Thanks for your comment.
> Nobody is hearing "the cell is a machine" and then goes off thinking "ah, what they clearly mean is that it is a whole lot of goop interacting in shocking complicated ways with each other all the time resembling literally nothing else a human calls a machine".

Erm, a lot of the "nanomachine" people think exactly like this. Even simple things like "gears" do weird things an the nano level.

Nevertheless, the biggest problems with the conception of a "cell" would be solved if we quit drawing them in 2D. Draw some cells as spheres. Draw muscle cells as slightly elongated cylinders. etc.

If we drew the cells in 3D with chunks missing for labels, students would have a much better conception. Starting with: "Oh, hey, there isn't a huge amount of empty space--there's crap everywhere. These things are packed".
They are working 8 hours a day, not training 8 hours a day.
But couldn't you just cross compile to such targets?

I think nobody really does any serous development on such old machines.
If watching TV had brought them pleasure in the present, yes that would fit the definition I was using.
Not completely wrong, but I feel like they've retreated towards the center in recent years as the more far-right channels took over. Fox News has generally been less than enthusiastically MAGA and focused on the traditional conservative talking points: culture wars, border crisis, etc. with resistance to things like election denial, Trump worship, etc. (commentators like Carlson and Hannity not included in this assessment, of course)
People are considering this possibility and investing accordingly. One guy has tracked the performance of some of these companies openly proclaiming their anti-Twitter position and claims that they've been underperforming the stock market. This means there's a chance to short them.

The grid isn't optimized for it, and the base generation is highly incompatible with the fluctuations wind and solar create. There are very real costs to rapidly cycling power demands on steam turbine driven generators, regardless of what fuel is used to generate the steam. Each heat/cool cycle causes microfractures in the shafts to grow just a bit, and those have to be bored out periodically to remove the cracks, and there is only so much metal that can be safely removed.

So, storage is an issue. If no storage/grid tie is possible, utilizing the full output of the panels to heat or cool a mass for night/cloudy days could be helpful in a home situation.
Show HN: Integrative Wellbeing Club by Lila Life
Hi, I am Linda Andrews, the Founder & CEO of Lila Life. I have paired together some different 3rd party tools to bring together Lila Life- an Integrative Wellbeing Club. Teachings & practices are shared based on the Integrative Coaching proprietary methods. You can use Insider for free access. This is also a 22 day free trial. I want to take these functions and build inhouse for founding team. It will be B2B2C Workplace Wellness Saas. I appreciate insights and feedback. Thank you! The membership will have teachings & practices from other practictions, business management software for coaches & healers to run their practice and affiliate/retail partners in the wellbeing space. Partnerships crucial for distribution. Thoughts on launching with 3rd party tech or building out in house I would love to hear. Thanks!
1. An emulator is a system which implements another system's functionality so as to serve as a usable replacement. Examples include in-circuit emulators for hardware components, or software emulators for game system hardware. In each case, the emulator is a usable replacement for the original system.

2. WINE reimplements the functionality of Windows, as exposed by the Windows ABI, as software running on Linux.

3. The combination of WINE and Linux is in fact a usable replacement for Windows.

4. Which means that WINE running on Linux conforms to the above definition of an emulator for the Windows system.

5. Therefore, WINE running on Linux certainly is an emulator for the Windows system.

The keyword in Small Modular Reactor is Modular. 5mw is not "too small for actual usage." You can connect many of them together in one plant to produce however much power you want. Just like wind turbines, a typical design includes more than one.
> The microreactor can generate 5 MW of electricity or 13 MW of heat from a 15 MW thermal core. Exhaust heat from the power conversion system can be used for district heating applications or low-temperature steam.

They are aiming 8 years planned service life, and one novel thing is the use of heatpipes (like your CPU cooler) using liquid metal as a working fluid.

They actually don't say how big it is, I guess still quite sizeable given the heat output. Definitely not a single-family home device.
That lawsuit specifically had to do with meeting Australian guidelines. I personally have had zero complaints with the Steam refund system here in America.
I think General Motors is another one very publicly making the same kind of announcement. It does seem like a competitive decision motivated by the car business.
Valve’s customers are the studios.

Only half-sarcastically.
i genuinely hope they dont.

if spotify bought it, they would almost certainly kill off scrobbles from outside music sources. of course they would promise this wouldn't happen, but we all know from repeated experience, over time the api would slowly be closed off.
Cricket, tennis and rugby union are her favourites. But she’ll watch whatever’s on if there’s nothing better to do. She’s loving the World Cup at the moment…

It makes sense from a survival perspective. Microsoft has their own game store, apple too. If you want to sell games to people, you need a way to play them and not be at risk of being shut down by the big players.
Is it related to steam deck's anti-cheat support?
> No wonder they have a warped perception of politics. That little fearbox is controlling their lives.

Ah yes, unlike us enlightened younger people who choose to spend our time in fancy online echo chambers.
How many people actually use the comments vs just consuming the content? Even if many people read the comments (which I doubt) the majority of the comments aren't insightful and don't provide any contradiction to the point of the video. I don't have any evidence, but I think this may even make things worse. Since many people like to be apart of the crowd if all they are seeing is everybody agreeing it could solidify their views.

Also, when it comes to TV and radio some shows have callers to the show. It does make it interactive and can provide alternative points. This appears to be falling out of favor though.
Socrates seems here he is mostly expressing the frustration that he cannot entrain a book into his methods, and that their authors cannot keep pace with him in dialogue.

But that was never the point of writing. The point is to use some small fraction of sensory+cognitive function to give yourself access to a separable, durable, redundant, and location-independent form of information.

Not touched on here but in other recent books is the possible loss of sensory+cognitive function that comes with simply learning to read and write in the first place. It’s possible this is the origin of the myth of Odin sacrificing an eye to read the runes.
When interpreting this passages one must not forget that the whole dialog is itself presented in writing. One example of the famous Socratic irony (which is ironically Platonic irony).
While MVCC works fine in the single-account case, it fails badly in cases where you want to maintain an invariant across accounts. For example, if a person can have two accounts at a bank with a total overdraft of no more than $100 (so A+B>-100), two MVCC transactions can alter one account each, checking for the invariant, and you still end up overdrawn beyond the limit. In general, the fact that MVCC only fully handles write-write hazards can cause many problems.
Most of the job of a teacher is being a publicly appointed babysitter.

Much of the rest is teaching the basics, which, as a functional adult, they should have decades of experience with.

Sure, but this is a way that sports betting is less like gambling and more like legitimate risk management for some businesses.
Cold salespeople are such scum. They take advantage of telephones are doorbells, which can interrupt your focus at any time, and are really intended only for people that you actually know.

Thankfully we now have caller ID and the ability to block unknown callers. Now we need the same for doorbells!
Inverse problem: I accidentally hit the "cancel ride" button when I was in a lyft ride. It opened up a dialog to confirm where I hit "cancel" to cancel the operation of cancelling and of course it cancelled the ride. That was embarrassing.
You are probably talking about John Mearsheimer.
Wow this is superb life advice, thank you! You’ve given me a lot of food for thought.
Same boat! I picked up a Steam Deck, was desperately looking for a multiplayer game I could play 20-30 minutes in the day, and found Deep Rock Galactic. I only play when my wife watches a TV show or in bed.
Could work for the traditional image check, but not at all for the user behavior analysis magic they do. Which seems to take over.
Definitely, and I have many friends who still play MMOs as adults who do the same thing. They open group chats with longtime (and new!) friends and play. The grind is a thing to do while everyone hangs out. But I also know people who turn their brain off and grind as a way to just pass the time. One of my favorite ways to waste time is to get a little high, fire up Diablo, and grind away. It's the same with social media. Social media can be social or it can be parasocial depending on how you use it.
My wife loves the Steam Deck, mainly because I've been playing more games in the living room at night, instead of playing games in my office. Being in the same room as one another, even if we're doing different things, works pretty good for us.

It's also gotten them back into PC games, as they have more access to games through family sharing and the Deck does a great job of taking care of most of the fiddly bits of playing on PC.

I fully expected the deck to be the typical valve hardware experience for me. Something that was well built, and very neat, but would be gathering dust in a month or two. However, I think we've got more usage out of my Deck in 6 months then we've gotten out of my Index, Vive, Steam Controller, and Steam Link combined.
> I caught her more than a few times down a real rendition of 2 minute hate from Orwell's 1984.

This is one thing I acutely remember about my grand-dad sitting there watching endless conservative news on the TV: The red-faced build-up and then vocal rage. These shows just hook onto elderly people's emotions and gradually whirl them around in a frenzy until they are visibly upset at "all these horrible things the 'liberals' are doing". He would finally turn off the TV absolutely disgusted at all these imagined problems and conservative fever dreams, thinking he was watching actual news. Pretty sad, and really nothing you can do about it unless you physically intervened and started blocking antenna signals.
If you think there will ever be a shortage of people arguing aimlessly, all I can say is "Welcome to the Internet".
Am I missing something? I completed a picture with two rotations left, and nothing happened. I was optimal in the number of rotations (always 1 or 2 rotations.) I checked I was right by clicking the eye. The cute cat just sits there...
Yeah, cuz it’s not 2011 anymore…

Kids in India have smartphones now, no one’s impressed
Nice try, zuck.

In all seriousness, I suspect this is probably correct. I imagine things will be very VR-oriented and Zuckerberg is actually on the right track, just way too early.
Teachers don’t teach experiential knowledge
If you're in charge of other people, it's worth noting that some very common cognitive problems like ADHD, Dysgraphia, and Dyslexia negate these benefits in some affected people. The cognitive load of making legible marks can become high enough to become the focus, rather than the actual content. Pressuring someone already struggling with working memory to do things like this, is counterproductive, if not demoralizing. Work style advice is great, but make sure you listen if they say it doesn't work for them rather than getting into the "it worked for me so you must be doing it wrong" mindset.
In the past, VW celebrated the diesel engines in their cars because of the higher mileage. The emissions, though, weren't so great and they were caught deceiving the regulators who try to stop air pollution.

I think these events are pretty separate and independent.
Sounds like the justification that was used to deny the right to vote to people, mostly minorities, that couldn't pass a poll test.
Correct. Nothing like this should be enabled in a private mode, and no user should expect it to be¹ enabled in a private mode. Losing unsaved data is a logical consequence of being in a private mode, it is up to the user to be careful here.

This won't harm unsuspecting users if you need to explicitly request privacy, by for instance opening an incognito window, if you request privacy it is valid to assume you know the potential consequences.

[1] Though you shouldn't rely on it not being, never assume there are no idiots around not thinking straight when implementing private functions and things that might interact with them! Trust but verify. Or just verify.
I just lowered the scroll threshold on mobile, does that help?

The problem is that the example videos auto-play and can be quite distracting if they're visible by default.
That’s exactly what we’re doing, yeah. --compileOnly gets pretty far, and I’d love to remove the need for having to run that compilation step separately before CMake builds the firmware from the generated C sources
So the sixth wasn't too bad?
I have a incredibly well specced Mac from work that I could use for gaming, but Linux support on steam is so far ahead that I don't bother anymore - it's a pain to figure out what games are supported on Mac - something I no longer even bother to check on Linux.
While I disliked the tone of the piece, I mostly agree with the sentiment. But this (very bitter) part just made me laugh:

> But please, yes, tell me again about young people and screen time and content and moral decay, and how the mobiles they’re engaging with are somehow a greater risk to their character than their own parents and their own grandparents and the family traditions they hold so dear, such as laughing in your face when you suggest shared family mealtimes around a table, a suggestion which might lead to talking to each other, listening to each other, and being present in that shared moment with each other. Tell me all about it.

This sounds like something my parents would have said. We ate our meal at a table in a room without screens. Nonetheless, my spouse describes the meals I had with my family when we all lived together as “psychological warfare,” and I can’t disagree. When my parents tried to force us all to come together for anything, we laughed in their faces because we hated being together. If that’s the reaction you get from your children, look inward. And if your spouse won’t help you figure it out, then you have at least a partial answer. To this day I avoid interacting with my family as much as possible because my parents couldn’t keep the household under control. They were arbitrary with their punishments, and untrustworthy as far as confiding them with thoughts and feelings. At best nothing would be done about it. At worst, it would come back to bite you later. I didn’t want to talk to people in my family because the result was guaranteed to be extremely painful. I suspect it was the same with the author’s children and husband. It sounds like she did the right thing by getting out.
A bunch of the occurrences it "finds" appear to be false positives, as far as I can tell.
Let’s assume the device or saas replaces something that cost $X per whatever.

The optimal pricing model will charge as close to $X without going over.

Even if charging $1/10th x would be wildly profitable.

Perhaps the term “price gouging” would be better.
That’s the pro-tip of the day folks! Last.fm is actually at the top of my “things to backup at the beginning of each year” list, there are quite a few website that allow you to generate a CSV in minutes, and even some pretty decent CLI tools.
Why doesn't Apple put this much effort into bring MacOS into the same realm as Windows in terms of gaming?

You would think they would invest more money and time taking away one of the last major advantages of Windows vs. MacOS.

Microsoft obviously sees gaming as one of the big advantages to Windows, hence why they have been buying up gaming studios and combining Xbox and Windows into the one gaming platform.
