It's still a hypocrisy, but so what.

People say it like it's a damnation of the idea. Things in life are fuzzy, that's why it's literally called a paradox.

The most tolerant people in the world are not going to be ok with a 20 year-old having a sexual relationship with their 12 year old daughter because of the danger involved. That's the paradox of intolerance, that everyone has a limit, and if you have no limit, someone else will pick it for you and cause damage on their terms.

We don't generally tolerate violence in the west. Yes, it's an intolerance, but it's for the greater stability of society.

but I have absolutely seen people use the paradox of tolerance to argue for some shitty opinions, so it must still be dealt with care. You can imagine a KKK member using it to defend their choice of not allowing blacks to be free of lynching.
Polestar 5 won't be available for years. They just released Polestar 3, and that won't be delivered for a year, so the 5 is maybe three years away.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S is the obvious competitor to Model S Plaid, or maybe Audi eTron GT.
Could you elaborate what I can do in C++ that I can't do in Rust (using unsafe, if I must)?

For context: I've been writing code in C++ for most of my career (25+ years) and being for VFX/3D rendering it was mostly performance critical code. Now I write Rust for some very performance critical tasks in finance ...

People join forces in a Business, rather than working alone for ex, because they believe the collective sum of resources = inputs will produce greater collective sum of outputs. Responsible businesses are those who maximise the outputs. Otherwise, it is a waste of resources that are extracted from collectivity ($, labor, natural resources, infrastructure, etc).
Inversely, that is also why the standard business forms are not best suited for artists to thrive.

So, as business is about maximizing output: no matter how much is your productivity, which is a ratio, if you apply it to one more hour of work, then you will produce more output. So there are 2 ways to go here for high-productivity workers:
a) you are paid equal for same output, and allowed to work less.
b) you work as much as others, then produce more, then are paid more.

There is plenty of science that proves that choosing option a) is a shot in own's foot on the long run.
Note: 80% of harvard professors thing their students would rate them in the Upper half best professors. which is of course statistically impossible. Same for how anybody = we, self evaluate ourselves in anything: how good a driver, a parent, ... a worker we are.

How much hours one puts in is a fundamental parameter of how much one produces. Stays true even with diminishing returns, as long as productivity is >0.

There is this say, pardon my french: an idiot who walks will still gets further than a sitting genius.

IMO, Nintendo has always been a bit behind on hardware, and most of their draw is the exclusive titles.

I have both a switch and a steamdeck, and if a game is offered on both, I'll buy the PC/Steam version.

The deck is larger, but actually fits quite well in my large hands, and I'm quite impressed of the amount of games that run well on it. It's not a replacement for a true gaming PC, but it's access to the existing steam library (and other PC games if you are clever) makes it quite an offering.

The devices have majorly different target markets, which makes it hard to compare them.

Also, the fit they did for lambda was based on simulations, not actual "coin" tosses. So the exact answer for h/r probably wouldn't be very helpful.

eventually reaching the point where there is only one or two real nodes hosted in a cloud provider datacenter somewhere

Ironically this is what is described in the original bitcoin satoshi whitepaper (not 'one or two' obviously), but the math doesn't work out.

Right now bitcoin has a throughput of about 1 KB/s, which is slower than a 14.4 dialup modem. The entire 13 year chain fits on a $40 thumb drive with room to spare. Even 32MB blocks (53 KB/s) maxed out for another 7 years would fit on single $220 12TB hard drive.

Running a node is only really necessary for miners, exchanges or any other major service but it will be trivial for anyone who can watch a youtube video or stream netflix for at least another decade.
I'm not fluent in Japanese but I know enough to be super distracted and annoyed by the English subtitles. I haven't played the game so maybe I'm missing out on the invented slang but it's jarring when they say the English word "install" in Japanese (insutooru) but then the subtitles read "chromed".
Apple is literally the group implementing the change, it's accurate to say "Apple is cracking down".

You're trying to paint Apple as a helpless victim here, but they didn't get blindsided by CCP tyranny. The company has spent years developing this exact situation and repeatedly choose to do the bidding of the Chinese government.

"Just following orders" is a pitiful excuse, and even worse when the orders are coming from an oppressive foreign government.

I try to practice a form of meditation when I wake up at night.

Yes, this is the one I used for many years! I just tried Stat but am not thrilled with the scaling options (or am doing it wrong). Basically, it always appears like there is lots of network activity, even if it is just a few KB. I tried logarithmic, cube, and square scaling, but none of them fixed it. With MenuMeters, it scaled based on prior down/up transmissions, which was very handy.
I appreciate your willingness to discuss! :)

On raising funds for Ukrainian drone defence
The overhead of the Unix philosophy for such simple steps is gigantic. The example (seq 1 6 | shuf | head -n 1) creates three processes, pipes six strings between the first and the second, and one of them on to the third, and likely calls a RNG six times.

That’s why shuf isn’t a “program that does one thing and does it well”, and allows for a few simple optimization steps:

- use the “-i” option to get rid of the seq process:

shuf -i1-6 | head

- use the “-n” option to get rid of the head process:

shuf -i1-6 -n 1

One process, no pipes, but it probably (I didn’t check the source code) still creates those six strings, and makes those 6 RNG calls.

Even that wastes time and memory. If you’re simulating a large die (say a 10,000-sided one) you may be better of running an awk or Perl script that calls a RNG once.

I am tech savvy. iPhones are not "easy" to use. It's a nightmare of hidden gestures to accomplish even the most basic things.

Yes, for someone who spend 8 hours / day on their phone you eventually learn the necessary gestures. But that's no different from Android or any other electronic device.

Is it a popup. For example, as a text-only browser user, i.e., no Javascript engine, I generally never see cookie consent popups. (I also control whether cookies are sent via a localhost-bound forward proxy.) However I am starting to notice cookie consents placed in the HTML of the page. This is one example. The cookie consent is wrapped in <div> tags.

To get rid of the cookie consent in this case,

curl https://img.ly/blog/ultimate-guide-to-ffmpeg/|sed 's/<div class=\"cke-overlay\">/<!--&/;s/<main class=\"main u-relative \">/-->&/' > 1.htm
firefox ./1.htm

Another way is to use the AMP URL:

links https://img.ly/blog/ultimate-guide-to-ffmpeg/amp/

AMP actually looks great in a text-only browser such as links.

It may also be possible to remove a <div>-based cookie consent using a browser Add-On like uBlock Origin.

If it were up to me, cookie consents would be done via HTTP headers. The user could simply set their client to send an HTTP header indicating no consent. Something like

Cookie-consent: False

I use a localhost-bound forward proxy to selectively send cookies where they are actually needed. Thus it is not browser-specific. It works with any client, e.g., netcat.
Sounds like an interesting stable diffusion prompt.
They've had years to pull manufacturing out of China to avoid having to make these compromises, but they chose not to. They could forgo the Chinese market, as many other companies have, in order to avoid needing to make unsavory choices, but they chose not to. And don't blame the shareholders for pushing Apple to stay in China. By that logic, no company is guilty of anything.
> Best not to conflate ethics and privacy.

Indeed. I'd suggest everyone in our industry study ethics, particularly with an eye towards its (i) philosophical foundations and (ii) cultural differences. If one of those underpinnings doesn't grab your interest, try the other.

There is a rich body of ethical writing around individual behavior. When that discussion starts to involve groups of people, ... yikes ... it becomes even more complex.

In sidemount diving, each diver carries two completely independent tanks & regulators, one on each side of their body.

While it is used primarily in cave diving because it is more streamlined and less likely to collide with cave ceilings and features, I find it also quite comfortable for recreational dives with a pair of AL40s.

It’s also a fun conversation starter with other divers who are curious about my gear!
> cultural erosion

Meh. US culture was always a bit too simplistic, from homesteading the manifest destiny to "USSR has fallen, democracy won" and finally with "first black president elected, racism officially over guys", and now it seems society entered a post-modernist phase.

I mean the obvious fallacies[0] of these oversimplifications are getting the spotlight culturally. And it's mighty polarizing. One one hand it's too much for some people and on the other hand it's still nothing substantial for others.

[0] Yes, the USSR has fallen, but Putin built a cleptocracy, also here comes China. Oh, yes Obama got elected and the ACA is nice, but it hardly moved the needle for millions of people. The benefits of half a century of global and domestic changes concentrated in the top ~30%, and the drawbacks hit the bottom ~30%, and weaponized selfishness, shortsightedness, and radical demagoguery (ie. ingroup vs outgroup populism, both the eat-the-rich and the republiklan variety) are on the rise again, because social media maximizes engagement.
Yet they still and will continue to operate largely in China. "Hey consumers, China bad, but China cheap."

> building more non-romantic relationships with women.

I completely agree; I've always preferred being friends with women, but in my opinion it's not easy to do.

Things sometimes get complicated quickly if there's attraction on either side which often happens to at least one side if you're close friends. Even without romantic feelings, things get weird/awkward if either party is in a relationship or married.

Ah yes the yearly Mainframe thread on HN. Many years ago (10+) one of these threads convinced me that I should get into mainframe programming. But I couldn't figure out how to get in. The actual job postings all require 5+ years of experience with Mainframes and I'm starting from zero. And there aren't that many job postings, I'd say one mainframe job posting for every 1,000 or 10,000 web developer roles. So why bother?

They should have pulled their manufacturing out of China years ago, and forgone the market. It's pretty clear that the compromises Apple makes are worse overall than any supposed benefit of taking market share from Chinese phone manufacturers.

Could you elaborate on 13-16? I have no idea what you could possibly mean, and the linked blog post doesn't help. As far as I know UB needs to execute for it to apply and make a program invalid. The linked rust blog post is about how in rust, creating some values in and of itself is UB (It's not that there is unreachable UB later on that uses the invalid value, it's that there was already UB executed earlier in the program in the creation of the invalid value). I know there are some "global" UBs that do not need to "execute" at runtime, but those can simply be thought of as executing at compile time.

Because China told them to after protests last month or so. This did not just happen in the last two days.

This is arguably a good setting too, as there are plenty of stories of people in other parts of the world who AirDrop lewd/violent/disgusting pictures to anyone around with their phone set to “allow anyone”. It’s happened on planes, for example.

But this is a tool people figured out they could use for a different purpose: spreading info during protests. So now it’s caught up in politics.

For all the “evil Apple”, they’ve been better than others. But they are a total hostage. The vast majority of the stuff is in China. Piss off the CCP and the company practically dies overnight.

Yes, they should have fixed that long ago. But here we are.
This could be true, but isn't the whole story. Cars tend to be sold more and more as they age, for lower and lower prices. In fact, where I live (Honduras), many of the vehicles were "totaled" in the US, sold as salvage in the US, then imported to Honduras and fixed. My daily driver is an SUV that was a salvage title from Wisconsin. It has a little over 150,000 miles on it and I'm pretty sure my mechanic can keep it running over 200,000.

> the suicide nets

I know this was painted as a scandal, but was it actually?

First, at the time Foxconn — or rather more specifically, Longhua Science and Technology Park, which was the site of the suicides that got in the news — was employing approximately 50-80% the population of Wyoming at the time depending on who you ask. For reference, there were 170 deaths by suicide in Wyoming in 2019.

Second, I've seen anti-fall nets on the inside of the Galeria department store in Alexanderplatz Berlin, which has no relevant reputation I've ever heard of, and therefore seems like a straightforward health and safety measure.
Of course the zero-covid protests were also around a couple weeks ago..
Interventions to modify behavior (at least successful ones) that I'm familiar with start with understanding that you do want these things (or are at least ambivalent about them) and then getting to how you have conflicting desires and the behavior you want to modify may be incompatible with something you want more if you cling to it.

If smoking had no side-effects, I certainly wouldn't care if my family smoked. But I'm trying to get the one dying from pneumonia to understand that smoking suppresses her immune system. Trust me: she wants that cigarette though; someone doesn't go that far out of their way to hide the lighter and the pack if they don't want to.
