Not to belittle you or anything but have we not known all of that for a lot longer than a few years? I remember as a child 25+ years ago being told about the cilantro and asparagus thing (being genetic). Although I suppose that could have just been common knowledge and not proven.

You'll find mainframes in many/most large older (founded before 1990) organizations but almost nowhere else. There doesn't tend to be a lot of detailed information publicly available for proprietary enterprise products generally. This is partly because that's the way many companies prefer it (i.e. trade secrets and NDA's) and partly because they just aren't of general interest to hobbyists/hackers/smaller customers. In addition to the lack of information, mainframes also have significant physical/electrical/cost constraints which further limits interest in terms of actually owning one... which would be a driver of interest.

Compare this to your typical PC/mobile device which fits on/in a desk/lap/pocket, is practically free in comparison, has a deluge of information available everywhere and is actually useful to most people in everyday life. About the only thing a mainframe really gets you is reliability in a monolithic device which from a cost/benefit standpoint isn't worthwhile for most customers and can be approximated via other means.

I've been inside many organizations that run mainframes and if you're not on one of the mainframe teams, which tend to be tiny relative to other IT groups, it's pretty much plumbing as far as the rest of the organization is concerned... which is the point.
Certainly, and having reread the argument, I can't say that it's unreasonable.
Is that how chickens are raised in big farms here in Brazil too? It's funny how I hear some people say they'll never eat lab meat and it will never taste as good as meat from an animal, and then they sit there drinking their Coke or their Pepsi because they don't like fruit juice.
This seems to be largely what is going on. I think also, there are a few startup ideas considered to be "the future", and VCs are basically just choosing which horse they will bet on for that idea. So they pick through different founders chasing that market, and invest. Then all the other VCs pile in on those chosen horses, regardless of the due diligence.

As a naive and younger outsider I always thought these people were all very competent. Clearly there is something very different going on here.

Sure, but you have to actually do that from time to time.

I've lost count of the number of people I thought I was really close with who moved away insisting that they would keep in touch, and then I never hear from them again, ever after reaching out.

As I already explained to you, which you did not seem to appreciate, this is not already not a problem in copyright litigation because if your defense is "it's generated by AI" then it is your burden to establish that convincingly. You can't just say "well, you can't prove that I didn't copy it", it will not be convincing to a judge or jury. The plaintiff will make allegations that the defense will have to rebut. Saying "it's hard to tell where it came from" doesn't rebut copying.
If you assume I assumed the things you assumed then I assume we can assume that would be a fair question.
Really? My '95 FJ80, now over 200k miles, has been one of the cheapest and easiest to mantain, and most reliable vehicles I've ever owned.

I've always thought that if money was no object, I'd like to create completely free, ad-free, registration-free, in-app purchase free, non-tracking versions of all the simple utility apps for which no good version exists that isn't monetized to hell. A lot of times, I just want a little tool that'll let me scan a bar code, or see stats about my wifi signal, or convert between units, or simple tasks like that, and I have to download 4-5 different apps to find one that isn't annoying. I'd just make the absolute best version of 20-30 different trivial apps and make them all free, hopefully driving the slimy ones out of business.
This would be perfectly risible satire, but I suspect you're earnest about this, and I think that's even more funny.

I feel sorry for the retail investors caught up in yet another crypto scam. Let me try to articulate my view of what’s actually going on with these seemingly endless scams, in hopes of saving future retail investors some pain:

Prominent venture capital firms like A16Z, Sequoia, etc have discovered a new get rich quick scheme: they raise a fund and invest it in a some shitcoin like FTX, SOL, etc. the shitcoin founders use the cash to market and shill the coin, hiring public figures like famous NFL players. Retail investors FOMO into these tokens, boosting prices and attracting more retail investors. Once the market cap of the shitcoin exceeds the VC/investor cost basis, they cash out and let the rest ride. Eventually the shitcoin implodes, but by this time the firms are already onto their next fund and another token. A16Z is on their 4th fund now and it’s $4.5B[0]. There’s an entire political strategy at play as well, where shitcoins are employing folks in DC and lining pockets to further the scam.

All of this is possible because there is no regulation on crypto tokens. In reality these are unregulated securities and these large VC firms are exploiting a loop hole for profit. This goes for literally every token starting at ETH and below.

I live down the road from the NMSU Chile Pepper Institute, so I’ve eaten many hot things. While I can’t grow anything, I have friends and family that have purchased seeds from their store and tried growing many varieties of Chile peppers. I have found the how it is grown has as much impact on hotness as the plant itself (in my experience). A friend grew some Ghost peppers (Bhut Jolokia), supposedly one of the hottest peppers, but it really wasn’t too hot. I wonder if over watering, like with wine grapes, dilutes the “flavor”?
Is it possible that this is just a trend that has emerged in the general style of writing obituaries? It seems that there must be better datasets to do this sort of analysis with (for example VAERS).

The crazy thing is that Windows touch-screen users are a tiny minority of all Windows users, and will remain so for the foreseeable future (if not forever). Yet a lot of the design compromises since Windows 8 making things worse for non-touch users are made for the single reason of catering to touch screens.
This guy should move to scandinavia, he'd learn that conversation is cheap. I can't tell you how many times I've spoken to a scandie for literally hours just to have it come to nothing. No new friend, not really even an acquaintance, it was all just talk and meant nothing at all.
Only if it's cheaper.

They said the same thing about plant based meat - and it hasn't because it's more expensive.
You ignore the other big benefit which is impossibility of censorship. When was the last time you heard about people complaining that they can't do lawful and legitimate business because Visa or MasterCard (basically a duopoly) don't like them?

This problem is not trivial, and as far as I can see crypto is the only scalable solution to it outside of legislation that isn't ever going to happen.

What about the privacy implications of having nearly every payment on the planet go through 2 megacorporations?

And I can see the response now, while every crypto transaction is public, it's a lot harder to tie identities to wallet addresses than it is to tie a name to a credit card number.
When people complain about the "the algorithm" they're not talking about bubble sort. It's shorthand for something - "biased feed algorithms" maybe.

There was an "official" C compiler for NOS running on the CDC Cyber. As I recall, 18-bit address, 60-bit words, more than one definition of a 'char' (12-bit or 5-bit, I think). It was interesting. There were a lot of strange architectures with a C compiler.

I would also point out architectures like the 8051 and 8086 made (make...they are still around) pointer arithmetic interesting.

A lot of [well intentioned] arguments focus on lab grown meats as a "cheap" protein but I think if you want mass market adoption it should go in the other direction, like electric cars.

What if lab-grown meat can create flavor profiles that rival wagyu? What if protein and micronutrient ratios can be tweaked to give athletes an advantage over athletes that eat animal meat?

If we frame it as a "cheap sustainable alternative" some people will always scoff at it, but if instead it starts off as an exclusive delicacy the public will want it that much more.

For that purpose. Photosynthesis is horribly inefficient for any use other than making more plant.
To add to this, there is also no guarantee that all that trench digging will yield anything substantial. Relationships often evolve in ways that both parties least expect. It can be a dice roll whether the final outcome is good or bad.

> The GP's statement sounds like a tautology.

Maybe it does to you, but it isn't a tautology. It's a false claim. See below.

> Is there a substantial difference between "from our point of view" and "as far as we are concerned ... in reality" under the theory of relativity?

Yes. A "point of view" in relativity (by which is meant something like a coordinate chart or a reference frame) might not be capable of describing all of reality. So you cannot infer, just from the fact that a "point of view" does not contain some particular event, that that event is not part of reality. Before you can draw that inference, you first have to show that the "point of view" in question is capable of describing all of reality (which in relativity means all of whatever spacetime manifold you are dealing with).

The "point of view" the GP is trying to use is not capable of describing all of the spacetime manifold we are dealing with. So it does not justify the claim the GP is making, that any event not described by that point of view cannot be part of the spacetime manifold.

> Using the mathematics of a physics theory to deny a tautological(?) statement

Is not what I am doing. I am using the mathematics of relativity to correct a wrong claim by someone who (apparently) doesn't understand that mathematics properly. Everything I am saying is basic general relativity and can be found in any GR textbook.

My suspicion is that a lot of people feel the same way you do about paying a monthly subscription, but that it's just that working to curate their own collection and keep it synced between devices is well, work. It's like the same way that the iTunes of the world "beat" the Napsters: convenience.

But you've touched on one of the reasons I'm trying to de-Spotify myself. I have a lot of music that I've gathered from various sources over the years, not all of them represented by streaming services' catalogs. This includes small-time local music and stuff that's come out of Internet communities like Newgrounds and OverClocked ReMix. I want my collection to be fully representative of the things I want to listen to regardless of where it came from.
It doesn't model a coin toss, but a coin landing. It's written in the article. Afaik a complete coin toss is very hard if not impossible (?) to model.
Unfortunately, judging from the article, this doesn't appear to be true for any of the new series.

Some of the new AVR series are, however. A few of these have some of the same features offered in these Tinys (e.g., 12-bit differential ADCs)
I feel like it is a mistake to bring what is effectively React to native development.

Browser-based web apps are basically punching above their weight class. Compared to the power of native UI's, the browser is broken. React understood this and created two innovations:

1. The Virtual DOM
2. The reactive UI

Now, I'm no expert, but Number 1 seems like a terrific idea; and Number 2 seems like it's needed in order to implement Number 1.

But, to my thinking, a reactive UI is a big problem of leaky abstractions, which is what I think you're saying.

To me, iOS/macOS UI development needed neither the baby nor the dirty bathwater. I feel like the whole thing is a mistake. As a programmer, I want control over updating the UI.
Nice! I'll play with this over the weekend.

Have you thought about adding refresh rate to the schema? I've got some ideas were I'd simply like it to refresh once per day at 6am (like: "update_at": "2022-11-29T06:00:00Z") and another one that I'd like to update at a 10 min interval ("update_interval": 600).
> the doses are orders of magnitude smaller ergo they dont completepy fuck your bladder up.

There is zero clinical evidence of bladder damage due to ketamine in the amounts used for clinical purposes.

Yes, there is evidence for bladder damage in heavy, chronic users, but none of that has been shown in therapeutic schedules, and there is very strong evidence against the existence of any such link in therapeutic schedules.

I don't know, I have made friends well into my adult life, including after having kids. Granted it is not in the same frequency as in the uni days but still during the years I have found some. Mostly people I have bumped into at work but were not directly above or below me or via other friends who introduced me to their friends. I am not an extrovert or too introvert and I don't know why it seems like everyone here must declare themselves as if they are in the extreme of this bell curve, probably they are somewhere in the middle, like the rest of us.
"Algorithm" is similar to "cloud" and (much earlier) "online" in that it's acquired a popular/marketing meaning distinct from its original technical meaning. It's an example of an improper noun[1].

Ask HN: How do you monitor your Slack bots?
I am working on a Slack bot and wondering if there are any tools or best practices to setup end-to-end monitoring for Slack bots and integrations.

For example, I would like to assert that my service responds correctly to slash commands and the response is sent within the 3 sec threshold. There are few other monitoring scenarios like monitoring outbound notifications.

Talking to few of my friends who previously worked on Slack integrations, apart from log monitoring they did not setup end-to-end monitoring for their flows.

Appreciate any feedback/comments on how you monitor your Slack related functionality.

You can make the argument for basically anything to be psychoactive then:

* good food

* alternating hyperventilation/slow breathing

* sex

* social interaction

* nervous breakdowns

We set up boundaries around what is "psychoactive" (like how some people do not consider alcohol to be a drug, or somehow different from other drugs), but fundamentally it's not like the brain isn't constantly drugging itself anyway. If your brain is not changing at all, how do you even experience something?
Everything you eat requires killing. We are only weird about killing for meat because as conscious life we are biased towards conscious life. Meanwhile, we don't blink an eye if we take down an entire field of corn, or even take town an entire forest to grow that field of midwestern corn, because its unconcious life and not valued by our moral principles.

The secret is to just treat things with respect. You can be respectful of the animals you raise up, you can respect the land you sow. Unfortunately this world lacks a lot of that common respect towards life these days, but maybe this thinking will change in the future and we can live in a more balanced way.

I Repeat: Do Not Listen to Your Users (2008)
Something happened within the last year, either to the general social environment around me or my own demeanor. I used to be able to go out and speak to people, have convos, people would even approach me.

This year has been much different though. When I go out no one wants to talk, except for straight lunatics. At the bar the other night the only guy who wanted to talk went on a tirade about “the Jews” and kept asking if I was a Jew. A couple years ago I could have had a nice conversation with someone who had just sat next to me.
But I don't touch Windows, I use a mouse & keyboard and a 38 inch/3840x1600 monitor. Why is MS designing Windows based on how some kid is using his thumbs on an iPhone/iPad?

I'm half-joking. I know what you mean, but I think a larger picture is that touch-interfaces have their own problems/solutions that the traditional Desktop doesn't have, and vice versa. I think that the desire to have One-Interface-To-Rule-Them-All leaves a lot of people (and possibilities) behind.

It would be a lot of work, but I think Microsoft needs two entirely separate Desktop Environments. One for touch-based devices, one for Desktop. I'm not holding my breath, we've been debating this since Windows 8. And I'm fully aware that as a middle-aged Windows Application developer that my opinion matters less with every year that passes... but I can't help but feel that maybe we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
I think it is because they hate free speech.

Well, one of course has to make a distinction between the physical thing and the mathematical representation of said thing. The set of states which model a type of elementary particle furnish an irreducible representation of the appropriate group. Folks usually (somewhat imprecisely, but physicists aren't generally known for their pedantry) say that this is 'defining a particle'. The idea gets across, but for pedagogical purposes, being more precise is better, I'd reckon; thank you for bringing this to our attention.
