That's interesting. How do we define "Happy"?

Data in another study [1] shows that 50.5% percent of patients who have been treated with these hormones reported suicidal ideation in the last 12 months, and 37% have reported severe psychological distress in the past month.

The same study later concludes that "This study strengthens recommendations by the Endocrine Society and WPATH for this treatment to be made available for transgender adolescents who want it." (!)

So your point is that there shouldn’t be a way to search for made in the USA stuff because not enough or what?
That the USA shouldn’t try to bring back manufacturing, or what?
At least the military stuff seems to be working pretty well.
Ah I see. If you want to refer to a string that was not part of this allocation you would use the other str_t type,
If one is closed minded to learning math or the importance thereof, mathematics will be difficult. Similarly, if you see no value in exploring the world's cultural output, those explorations should prove quite difficult.

I do agree with your conclusion however, as it is unlikely that some "perfect sound" exists. If it did, we would not have made so much music.
This is a common approach for things like malloc to use, since you are passing an opaque pointer to arbitrary data into free() which you then expect to quickly do something useful with. It can just walk back the pointer a little to find the header and act on it.

It's pretty weird to see it anywhere other than malloc though especially masquerading as a basic type. It's incompatible with other common patterns like returning via (char *) and you can't identify which deallocator you're supposed to give the result to from the type alone.
Lol no it hasn't. As of last year, the state owned 83% of EDF, along with everything that being a publicly traded company entails. The renationalization process has been started, then immediately halted by shareholders that sued to block it. Additionally, things don't get magically fixed because it belongs to the state again. The current state of things is the result of 20 years of selling off EDF, piece by piece to vultures.
The DoD has far more than just 4 satellites. Anyway Starlink satellites are really low making them much easier targets.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a single HARP style light gas gun couldn’t cheaply take down every Starlink satellite for a few hundred million total. The best defense is having a wide range of satellite orbits and the ability to quickly deploy more. If nothing else, a single nuclear EMP could wreck a huge swath of the Starlink network.
Myself and other folks in my friend group are MAU in that we use FB about once a month, maybe once every two months. My IG use became the same after the recent feed changes. Using either platform now feels like work and I have enough work to do already.

It really depends on what you want to do. I just told it to build a React-like framework in Prolog. It first told me that's not possible because Prolog can't be used to build GUIs (not really true either). I then told it that it could just output the DOM manipulations as text and it agreed. But said it's just a text model and can't write programs.

I feel strongly this way, or maybe I'm missing your point. Addiction is terrible, but death is clearly worse than addiction. Addiction is survivable.
Well Uber and Lyft were subsidized by investors and naive drivers — cabbies negitiatee their worth and thus it was a much lower margin experience for consumer. Eventually when Uber needs to be profitable and drivers demand real wages, all that happened before will happen again. But we will have nice apps at least as we wait.

I’m highlighting them being some level of propaganda mouth pieces (probably for their own fatter check sizes) for the right. Highlighting Dem stuff repeatedly makes that clear. Mixing the left and Dems makes it even worse. They know what they are talking about. They know blurring the left and Dems helps the right. That’s one of the main right wing GOP cornerstones. Pretend Biden or Harris are on the left. That moves the Overton window to the right or doesn’t let it budge.

This is also another conservative policy. Policy being —- make liberals, Dem voters/politicians, and the left into one bogeyman. Which provides multiple benefits to the right.
If you're a Linux user and you can get S3 support on your laptop's firmware, make sure to check out systemd's suspend-then-hibernate! It gives you the same behavior as macOS, so your laptop will still have good battery capacity if you close it and walk away for a whole week. (It's unlikely to feel like truly 'instant on' unless you're running an open-source UEFI like Coreboot. But S3 resume is still very fast, just a couple seconds at most.)

I feel like people interpret this wrong. Those who are great ICs and then assimilate into the traditional management role is not what Jobs was talking about. It is the spirit of an IC to push beyond the politics of the workplace and keep the philosophy of what makes a good IC alive.

In other words, politicians cannot practice philosophy and vice versa. They are incompatible or fail quickly when attempted.

Most of the components are leds and transistors (and some resistors) and those are (still) dirt cheap... you can get whole microcontrollers for ~3 cents a piece [0] (if you buy a few thousands). PCBs are comparatively cheap, few tens of dollars, depending on the process, and with pick-and-place, assembly is also relatively cheap.

so yeah.. maybe they're making them in some more expensive country or use some exotic components.

No. The truth doesn't matter. The fact does. The ruth is the majority people's view of a certain fact, and it is still subjective. What really matters is to allow people speak out their truth.
"The current state of "gender affirming care" seems like a band-aid solution that papers over a much deeper problem, and I don't understand how we are helping trans people by turning a blind eye to the root cause of their suffering."

Are you saying the cause of their suffering isn't being forced to live in a body/identity contrary to how they feel?

Your first point is disingenuous. HRT for trans people does save lives. Whether its blockers in minors, or HRT to help with fat redistribution, secondary sexual characteristics, etc. in informed and consenting adults, it goes a long way to helping trans people live as themselves -- indeed, many trans people report feeling significantly better just from taking it, describing it as if their bodies were running on the "wrong fuel" beforehand.

Have you considered that data isn't gathered post-transition because trans people are simply going about and living their lives successfully? Assuming they've transitioned and their HRT regiment (if they have one) is stable, there is no clinical need to continue "collecting data" afterwards -- especially when this is done by services which are chronically underfunded as it is.

As for the distorted data claim, please show evidence of deliberate distortion -- it's not the fault of those doing studies if subjects drop out of their own accord, and certainly doesn't mean they "distort whatever data they do collect."

Another boogeyman, doctors aren't running around telling parents their kids will kill themselves without puberty blockers. Certainly if a doctor were to bring up a feeling of suicidality within a child, it would be within the context of sufficient psychological assessment, which would have to have begun with the parents or child themselves either raising trans or suicidality issues previously. If that claim were made by a medical professional, it wouldn't be out of nowhere, and it wouldn't be without basis.

What's actually terrifying is the idea that your child is so uncomfortable and/or unhappy that they question their ability to live their live without the intervention they need, in a day where access to those services are both drastically underfunded, and being outlawed by Conservatives in the western world.

The fact that you try and equate hypothetical feelings of suicidality with a transgender child facing the inability to access appropriate medical care, with not being allowed to watch TV, is much more of a "deeply dysfunctional mindset" than your proposed hypothetical.

Your brash and baseless claims seem to show a lack of understanding or knowledge of the "trans discourse" as you put it, and seemingly you don't actually care or want to know, since your final sentence is claiming that gender-affirming care covers a "deeper problem," which is just ignorant and attempts to deny trans existence as being valid in itself, as opposed to being a symptom of some other "much deeper problem."

American here- most retail terminals here support NFC and chip- I haven't used magstrip in a retail environment for years- even mom-and-pop shops support NFC. Most gas stations accept chip, but not many accept NFC yet, though I'm seeing it more and more. Some gas stations still only accept magstrip.

We still have the stupid policy in restaurants where you hand your card to the server and they walk away with it (their terminals are usually chip), which is something that a lot of foreigners freak out about.

EDF being a public company owned by the state means that it gets hurt by two things:

* It has to make money, instead of being a utility that the state provides, so decisions have to be taken in accord with all shareholders.

* When it does make these decision, well, politicians have been selling off EDF piece by piece on the right, and sacrificing it to get votes from the green party on the left.

All in all, incompetent fucks with a 5 year foresight running it like a pawn on a chessboard, happily sacrificing it to get a meager advantage.
Thanks! Always happy to hear people liked it.
I've made this argument to many progressive friends, and nearly all of them replied with a variant of "you're 'bothsides'ing this" which apparently is supposed to mean your argument is invalid. That then leads to me pointing out that world isn't a clear binary and "both (major) sides" can be wrong or have problems. For some reason though, that seems to be the end of the conversation and no progress toward reaching agreement is made.

>Even for adults, it doesn't happen without a great deal of psychological analysis, lived experience, multiple concurring psychological reviews, and informed consent.

To play the devil's advocate: A minor child cannot provide consent, and that's kind of the problem.

---------------

Edit: To give the idea a little more flesh:

It's the duty of the of the State to represent the well-being of a child, if the children's parents are unable or unwilling to do so.

Let's be hypothetical here and imagine a place where a majority of the People of a State believe "gender affirming care" is not in a child's best interest, then you could have a situation where the State is compelled to do what was done in Texas.

Are the majority of people in Texas of the belief that "gender affirming care" is not in a child's best interest? I don't know, but it seems plausible.

Is "gender affirming care", in truth, the best thing for a child? I don't know. I don't know how to even start to approach that question in an acceptable way.

A big block of text with no paragraph breaks. It seems like the author is trying his hardest to provide something insightful and well-written, and while it seems on-topic it is hard to relate to the original article. None of it looks wrong, but it doesn't seem very informative either. Most people will just skip right over it. There will be a semi-obscure Wikipedia link somewhere in here.[1]

I have no dog in the trans debate, but I think you’re exhibiting the exact type of behavior the author is talking about. Because a self-professed secular humanist talked about an issue in a way you don’t agree, you’ve already branded her a “religious conservative” even though she’s definitely not that (I mean, she’s a director at the Richard Dawkins foundation!)..

> But all in itself, what is does produce is void of process, meaning and intent

Here's another way to look at it. Everyone has imagination, few have the refined skills to execute. What you find with the explosion of Midjourney AI artwork is people imagining concepts, letting the compute apply the technique, and then iterate until the artifact resembles the vision. This is actually quite similar to the fim director who tells their art director what they want, then reviews, refines, and iterates until the vision is met.

Myself, last week I created an image that matched a visual idea I had over 10 years ago, which I could never execute with my limited drawing/painting skills.

So yeah, on Midjourney there's a ton of meaningless "darth vader cat" images, but there is also meaning and intent.

And we're just at the beginning. Imagine what this will be like when people can tweak an image as fluidly as you could if you were giving a human artist direction in real-time.
Its hardly steady and constant. There is a recent spike, but "yellow" journalism was a really big thing historically.

Hacker News should just just ban politics-related discussions altogether. What you find "insane" and "monstrous" other people (which are not clinically "insane", just to make it clear) are regarding as being just the opposite.

Either way, neither of those two camps will find a "level-playing" discussion field on this forum, on any internet forum, for that matter, because I'm afraid we're long passed that point. Hence why I believe that the admins of this forum should ban all politics-related talk.

I read something about this recently, somewhere, maybe HN. Specifically, in calloc(), what is done and what should really be done if the multiplication overflows. As will happen, for example, if you try to calloc() two elements of size SIZE_MAX, when SIZE_MAX is the maximum representable unsigned integer value on the machine. So, I don't think calloc() is available or intended as a way to circumvent malloc()'s size restriction.

The WaPo article you cite is about a professor who was ousted in part for using the term. It uses the term "minor-attracted person" exclusively in quotes; it uses the term "pedophile" in quotes once, in a sentence about the word, but otherwise uses it naturally. It is not reasonable to take from that WaPo article the notion that "MAP" is an accepted term.

You can easily search WaPo and find that the term "MAP" is used only in that article (again: about the term, and the fact that it cost someone their job), and that WaPo routinely uses the term "pedophile", quoting it only in stories where the allegations are ridiculous (like people reporting dads at playgrounds as suspected "pedophiles").

The Washington Post is a pretty powerful data point that the term "MAP" is not in fact in common use. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that it ever will be.

(So far as I can tell, the New York Times has never once used the term, either).

I’d love a summary, too. Started reading the first third but got bogged down by all the Kitten Game examples.

I think the conclusion at the bottom captures most of it.
I wish we'd move away from "truth" and uses "facts" and "conclusions" instead.

Most really bad ideas take incorrect facts, and use them to draw tenuous conclusions. The examples in the blog are precisely that, the puberty blockers and the Maori traditional knowledge.

The elegance of stating "truths" is that the definition of "truth" has always been wishy-washy, to the point it is the vast majority of most philosophy 101 classes.

You can have whatever "truth" you like, but you can't choose your facts, and if your conclusions are predicated on bad or simply false facts, your conclusion can be ignored.

That is an insightful comment and I agree with you - for the proof, just look at all our successful political leaders around the world. Rarely does a politician who advocates for atheism while disparaging all religion win. On the contrary, there are great politicians, like Moses, Muhammad and Gandhi, who really become leaders because of how they embrace religious as part and parcel of their very identity, in a very spiritual manner that earns them respect of many.

The problem is not with religion or religious people, but with fundamentalism. To accept any new truth, you need to be able to let go of the earlier truths. And that's not really easy to do as we age. That is why it often takes a generational shift for new ideas, and new truths, to emerge.
