absolutely cool. i am currently an obsidian user and have one thing special not fond of, which is it is not web based. silver bullet kills this one.

your app seems solid and neat, but the introduction video link does not work. it redirects to https://silverbullet.md/fs/( which is a blank page to me.

OK, let's go by your definition: "being less suicidal is a definition of happy"

Preface: I believe gender dysphoria is real suffering.

From the paper: [1]

Have You Ever Had [Pubertal Suppression] for Your Gender Identity or Gender Transition?

Yes, n=89, of which reported suicidal ideation in the last 12 months: 45 (50.6%)

No, n=3405, of which reported suicidal ideation in the last 12 months: 2204 (64.8%)

The paper [1] concludes "Among transgender adults in the United States who have wanted pubertal suppression, access to this treatment is associated with lower odds of lifetime suicidal ideation. This study strengthens recommendations by the Endocrine Society and WPATH for this treatment to be made available for transgender adolescents who want it."

I think the only conclusion we can make, is that we have some sick puppies on our hands, and they need our love and compassion. I do not the data gives us cause for celebration. I do not think the data makes a strong connection between hormonal treatment of children and long-term positive outcomes. I understand there is a chicken and egg problem here.

Elon Musk probably has his hands tied, but there’s got to be another controversial billionaire out there who can buy Reddit to force its community to migrate elsewhere.
Obviously he didn't lied 100% of the time or every policy was bad.

But he's still lying about the 2020 election being stolen 2 years after leaving office.

Indeed, it's not possible to achieve this goal with transit once the city is planned around urban sprawl. It's too difficult. In Virginia, Tyson's Corner is a great example of this. What should be a high density urban environment with great public transit is anything but. It has to be taken into consideration when the city is originally planned.

Also, there is a version of the law of sines for tetrahedra and higher-order simplexes, similar to the one the AI tried to use. It's an imaginative wrong answer.
You seem to be trying very hard to convince me Apple truly is an evil company and without the government, it won't be. This is why I'm not keen to continue this thread.

This type of hyperbolic sentence: So, because Apple, in an authoritarian way, does not let you use your own property in this way, doesn't strengthen your argument, it weakens it.

Don't get my wrong, I understand it, Apple phones aren't an open source utopia where you can do whatever you like with it, you know as good as me that it's peoples choice to participate in that type of system and many choose to own a locked down device as a trade off for security, stability and convenience. People aren't rioting in the streets over this.

_People are choosing to enter the Apple eco-system for various reasons, there's no "Authoritarian regime" forcing you to use an iPhone._

Apple is popular because they make good products as far as I'm concerned and that's part of living in a free society. That someone can start a company that is successful like Apple and that people are allowed to buy Apple products, or not buy them.
Astonishing.

Here is a copy of the prompt, for ease of copy-and-paste:

> I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curl brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd.
Came here to say the same thing. Medically confabulation is different than hallucination and far more similar to what is being described. Confabulation is seen with wernike-korsokoff syndrome which can be found in very long time alcohol use disorder. The patient makes up stories to fit the gaps in their memory without necessarily realizing that is what they are doing.

Whereas hallucinations are more like present sensory disturbances happening at that moment.
based on the comments here civil war 2.0 is going to lit af frfr; its going to be bussin
Renewables already fill that gap at vastly lower costs. Unless you specify that you're one of the about a million people living north of the arctic circle, then sure, do whatever you need.
Wouldn't you need at least a few publications in the field to be considered for your group?

Also, I think you forgot to post one link, the one you got sent.
Ask HN: Are you still tipping on takeout/pickup orders?
During lockdown times it became custom in the US, at least around me, to tip restaurants even for pickup/takeout orders to support the struggling industry. Things are a lot more normal, there’s not as bad of a shortage.. are people still tipping for non-dine-in and if so how much?
Frankly, the ActiveMerchant team broke your trust. There's two things you can do with people you don't trust. Either cut them out of your life, or start verifying everything they tell you. I've dumped libraries with this sort of chaotic 'refactoring' (or not picked them because I could see they had made such poor initial choices that it was inevitable). I've also written unit, integration, or smoke tests for third party code with a high Precautionary Principle quotient, sometimes with its own separate build pipeline that takes green versions of our code to run them against latest of theirs. And for any code we got from a customer or business partner? This is practically a requirement for my sanity. They think that because money is changing hands they can do whatever they want and we just have to eat it. We don't have to eat anything.

That doesn't catch the problem the moment it happens, but most times that's sufficient to catch it before anything hits production.
Something like 10% [EDIT: 3%? point remains] of people change their browser's default font size - a larger userbase than that of many browsers deemed worthy of support.
Drop the "Skippy" condescension, and read my original comment properly -- I bought up informed consent amount adults, I didn't say anything about children, because children aren't getting bottom surgery -- and for a third time (just so you don't miss it) ... *children aren't getting bottom surgery* :)

Your "problem" is a fictitious one. Surgical consent for minors is irrelevant when it comes to transgender healthcare, because nobody is performing trans-related surgeries on minors. That aside, from a legal and medical standpoint, consent works the same way as it does for any surgeries, with legal authority of the parents/guardians, or physician as appropriate. Once again though, since they aren't operating on children in this area, your "problem" is both non-existent, and totally irrelevant.
That's manifestly untrue. There's probably a way to write that sentence to make it much less trivial to refute, but it will make a claim much more specific than "nobody is happy with the police". As written right now, the opposite is closer (somewhat) to the truth.
Interesting, thank you.

"Whoever embezzles, steals, purloins, or knowingly converts to his use or the use of another, or without authority, sells, conveys or disposes of any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United States or of any department or agency thereof, or any property made or being made under contract for the United States or any department or agency thereof; ..."

It's definitely possible to imagine a situation in which Snowden "knowingly ... sells ... any record ... or thing of value of the United States" to Russia, namely a copy of the information he had available to him while working for the NSA.

I'm not sure how courts have interpreted "record ... or thing", and whether (for example) a copy of a page from an internal government wiki would count, but let's assume that digital information is a "thing" and that copies of it are still "of the United States".

I'll further grant, for the sake of argument, that the US government has secret evidence that such a selling did take place (perhaps witnessed by a double agent working at the Kremlin, who could be called upon to give a witness statement at a trial held in secret), although I don't actually believe such selling occurred.

My main point, though, was that I don't know of any court interpreting "steals" in a statute to mean "making an unauthorized copy of" or "leaking". You're right, though, that there are other laws that cover what Snowden did.
If I did, I make no apologies lol. I thought it was just a strangely worded (over-qualified) comment.
The author's website sets a root font size of 18px. That completely eliminates any benefit you may have by using rems "for accessibility". Setting the root font size with an absolute unit completely overwrites the users' font size settings. Even the ones that the author mentions in the "The Real-real Problem" section. If you really want to change the root font size, you probably should use the `em` unit. It will be based on the users' settings.
You want to control your device, others don't care for it. Live with it?

This is actually why people who are absolutists (you), scare me, because in a way, you're advocating for free an open devices, and asking for the government to step in to ensure this happens while actually acting like the authoritarian you claim to hate by forcing your beliefs onto others.

People should be free to choose what type of device they have without you telling people that shouldn't be allowed to choose.

I believe my argument is better than yours because I'm advocating for a balance. You can have free, open devices if you want, and if you don't want that you can use more locked down devices that IMO are just fully managed by Apple.Both options has their advantages and disadvantages, so what's the problem?
Sometimes the error message is spurious and the solution (such as installing the right version of a software package) is well-known. Maybe someone knows this and can solve your problem instantly.

Other times, perhaps frequently, the error message is actually telling you something important.

Many people get stuck in the second case thinking it's the first case.
> unless said language makes making those mistakes difficult or impossible

You're missing the point [1]

(or I was unclear)

Yes, improvements in neuro surgery can save lives, but the bulk of preventable deaths it's in human mistakes [2] that are almost impossible to make impossible.

Just like the majority of the bugs are not prevented using rust, just a minority of them, which are also arguably the hardest to find and exploit, while a SQL injection can be exploid by a script kiddie with average IQ.

[2] The three risk factors most commonly leading to preventable death in the population of the United States are smoking, high blood pressure, and being overweight.
You clearly haven't read the article.
> After 30 years on my federal job as an exemplary employee, I was bullied and harassed at work at the height of the pandemic for nearly two years. Needless to say, this treatment almost broke my spirit.

Yep, government work will do that.
they just form all kinds of delusions that they can prove to themselves

Perhaps this is another manifestation of the fear of failure that prevents some smart people from taking chances. E.g., admitting they were wrong and the normies were right would mean they aren’t smart after all, so they entrench and apply every brain cell to convincing themselves they are right, to the point of delusion.
If you plan for these events you'll quickly stop all imports and exports because you'd have to be self sufficient 24/7
Code also has the advantage of not getting out of date with what the application actually does. Invariably, documentation outside the code base often rots over time until it reaches a point it's outright misleading.
You can't talk about love and compassion when you refer to other human beings as "sick puppies."

You're missing the point entirely, and you're /not engaging in good faith/.
The base distribution is irrelevant. It's what packages you are able to install that makes it useful or not.

In today's world, any distro is useful. Just select the distro that suits your style of work.

I used to distro-hop for quite a while. It surprised me recently to find that I've been using Linux Mint for over a decade.

(And I always keep three root partitions available on my boot-disk so that I can have an 'everyday' system, an 'emergency' system if the 'everyday' system gets broken somehow, and an 'experimental' system to see what other distros can do.)
As someone familiar with Blender, Sprytile looks great, but it also looks as though there hasn’t been a release since 2020. Anyone know if this project is still alive?
The supposed lack of encryption has not been confirmed.

There's been quite a bit of FUD spreading since this story hit, and I'm convinced that the security researcher involved has some misconceptions about what it means for content to be encrypted. He seems to believe that because he can see the network requests in browser developer tools, communication is not encrypted.

Up to this point, the most solid claim is the fact that thumbnails are transmitted to Eufy to facilitate push notifications. Eufy confirmed this, and pledged to improve the messaging on the options that enable the feature.

The concerns related to the streaming of video is as-of-yet not confirmed, and would indicate a breathtaking lapse on Eufy's part if true. It's been disheartening to watch all of this unfold with too many folks taking pretty huge claims at face value. It could be true, but people are acting as if it absolutely it.

This isn't a new phenomenon. Regan was criticized in 1985 for expressing similar views -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitburg_controversy -- albeit in a way which was either politically clumsy or extremely offensive to the victims of Nazism, depending on your viewpoint.

How often does pi^2 come up?
Amdahl’s law says we’re only going to get marginal improvements in a lot of cases. But that’s ok because sometimes marginal improvements still pay off.

Increasing efficiency doesn’t always mean shorter runtime, sometimes it means more production from an equal runtime.

Lots of improvements to different places in the pipeline can pay off.

Sometimes an improvement in one part of the process can have synergistic knock-on effects in other, perhaps unexpected, parts of the larger system. It seems like these can be hard to predict without taking a deep look at the larger system and how all of its component parts interact.

Similarly, C++11 added a chrono::duration type. It's a massive improvement over the mess of C APIs which might expect anything from nanoseconds to whole seconds.
I always assumed the best strategy would be PVC plumbing pipe. You can get 4inch (10cm) diameter sizes cut to any length. Stuff your cash/jewels/drugs + desiccant and use PVC sealant caps with waterproof sealant. Bury as deep as you want. I would expect that to last decades. Plus it should not set off any metal detectors.
Oh no, please no Ur. Sounds good first, but so far from production-readiness. Research? Inspiration? Check. Use in production? No.

But children consent to treatment all the time.

If you want to talk about non-consensual treatment you could mention surgery provided to intersex children, but that doesn't fit the narrative.
What stops a server with a good memory from looking at your card as they put it in their terminal and remembering it for the 30 seconds it takes to walk away and note it down? They already reliably remember fairly complicated table orders which have got to have more bits of entropy than a credit card number.

Credit cards handle risk very differently than we do for account passwords. They expect numbers to leak regularly, but the downside of a leak is bounded in a way that password leaks often aren't, and the issuers and merchants eat those losses as a cost of business.
I've recently given up on unix-type shells on Windows. Whether it's WSL1, WSL2, WSLg, MSYS2 or Cygwin, there's always compatibility quirks or performance issues that just reminds me that "it's not Linux". So I decided to just bite the bullet and go all in on PowerShell. It's still not a great default CLI experience but it can be made acceptable with plugins. But the real strength is in scripting, it's a good mix of high-level language and shell terseness.
Disinformation can go hand and hand with propaganda, look at the current European war. I get what you're saying, but just pointing out that it can be used in detriment to the morale on the other side of the fence.

I don’t understand this, but the description of it is interesting to me. I like forward to a potential blog post or some documentation explaining it in-depth.

I've had it generating working python code for entire text-adventure games based on unlikely novels (Thomas Hardy's "The Trumpet Major" eg).

If you ask it to start adding in NPCs and fighting mechanics it will start doing that, too. I built a small "Canticle for Liebowitz"-themed text adventure in pieces- first asking it to add NPCs, then add a fighting mechanic, then add weapons to be wielded, then for the weapons to have damage ratings that matter. All I had to do was update the functions that it wanted to change, and add a few "global" declarations.
Facebook too, just FYI!
It is fiction, as it is invented by ChatGPT. But I have not edited any of the screenshots. It is all authentic conversation. The part until testing the ping command was what ChatGPT gave on the first sample. For the later ones where I tried to loop back to ChatGPT from the virtual machine, I sometimes needed to resample, but not more than a handful of times.

In order to let ChatGPT believe the internet is working, I find that you do need to build up slowly. Use some `cd` or `ls` commands, then verify that ping is working, only then try some browsing. I did not need any other commands than the ones in the blogpost.
Didn't sound like there's a team. More that everyone is working in their own silo. Under those conditions do your own thing.

Similar state of affairs in my current "team". None of us really work on the same thing at the same time.

I'm currently fascinated by the comparison of me and a colleague. They bang out code (comparatively) but it's clear from the waves of fixes and bugs they also have to fix that the net result is not really moving faster overall than I do. With my more investigation, more design and incremental expansion.

They originated in quick to market software where as I began in high reliability and safety critical stuff. Personally I hate modern software that is tossed out fast, barely functional and always in need of updates. But in our hyper consumption economics there's not much scope for doing things properly.
I'm pretty sure my Samsung watch from 2014 did this?
This article talks a lot about 'AI and crypto' but it might have been more interesting to look at the bigger picture of fintech, defined as 'computer programs and related technology used to support banking and financial services', and machine learning instead of AI.

Noteably, the short-term consequences of machine learning + fintech don't really seem to align with the long-term results, which don't seem that great.

It’s all a house of cards anyway, as the “alternative providers” who were supposed to provide all that magical agile goodness through the wonders of competition fold one after the other and are actively pushing their customers to EDF.

That’s cargo cult economics: someone said competition was good so we’re going to have all the appearances of it without giving up on our large publicly-funded infrastructure. Because at the end of the day we need electricity and all these rent seekers are only good at extracting value from existing installations. Utterly disgusting.
If data plans weren't tied to them, Gen Z probably wouldn't have phone numbers at all anymore. (Well, at least in those parts of the world where a data reception no slower than 3G is ubiquitous.)

If you think about it, the whole concept really does stick out nowadays. The idea of this unique, static (or at least not easily changeable), non-descript identifier tied only to you and your physical device is very much a product of its time.

Phone numbers only continue to exist by momentum – if a similar thing were to be implemented today, it would never catch on so universally.
