What worked for me: come up with a bit of patter or a general “surrounding script” that you wrap your answers with. JFK did this sort of thing to buy himself time to think.

You can also use it to build in your disclaimers: you’re just giving your opinion on the spot and might have better answers after thinking about it offline for a bit. Counter to intuition, I found the “hmm, first approximation says THIS to me, but can I take the problem away and get back to you with something better, once I have more data and have run through the options in my head?” Approach tends to build trust over time, and actually helps ramp up your confidence too. It turns the whole process from a step to a gradient.

Don’t worry too much about the body language of confidence. Unless you’re doing something pathological like picking your nose or something, there is a WIDE range of acceptable ways to interact: think Brin, Musk, Newton, Darwin, Hawking.

And… cut yourself some slack - you’ve got this ;)
A crash course in Python “comprehensions” and “generators”
With a suitable receiver and aerial you may be able to receive them in Asia. Looking at the QSL cards sent they're using frequencies considerably outside the normal amateur bands but a decent general-coverage receiver or an SDR that can tune shortwave bands.

In the very early days of radios everyone thought that low frequencies would work best because they'd follow the curve of the Earth, and "short wave" signals which could only go in straightish lines wouldn't be able to go beyond the horizon, they'd just radiate off into space. But once it was possible to generate reasonable amounts of power and have half-decent receivers something quite surprising became clear - the signals went off into space and then *bounced off something* and came back down hundreds of miles away! The way this works is somewhat predictable, and lower frequencies work better at night. You can find this out for yourself if you play with an AM radio during the day when there's not much on, and then try again at night when the band is absolutely jumping with signals.

The frequencies used kind of point to just hammering a big earth stake in for the receiver, and dangling a longish (maybe 10-20m) wire across your garden or something similar, for receiving them.

It doesn't make it not esoteric. It doesn't make it Javascript.

It's its own language with its own idiosyncrasies, its own lingo, its own terminology (so much of the terminology in the crypto space is just absolutely random bullshit people came up on the spot for things that already exist in the language).

There are no tools, no way to debug, no way to revert a deployment, no way to upgrade a "contract" etc.

And it's so bad that repeated audits and bug hunts routinely fail to find issues in the code of even the simplest contracts.

I'm in the same minority - and for the same reason why I've always been skeptical of semantic and tag-based searching on computer filesystems - namely that it's much more difficult to know when you've completed an exhaustive search. Determining conclusively that the answer you need isn't there is the second best outcome to finding it immediately.

Yes, but you're effusing that currency speculation and flash loans (majority of Uniswap) is this some new grand thing that never existed before. Reality disagrees.

tl;dr

The use of magic numbers in Linux kernel code is declining. Magic numbers are specific constant values placed within a structure to identify the type of that structure. In-kernel debugging code can check the magic number and raise an alarm if the expected value is not found, thus detecting problems related to type confusion or data corruption. Magic numbers were originally used in the filesystem code to identify the superblock in the disk image, but later grew in use in other areas of the kernel. However, in recent years their use has declined and this patch set from Ahelenia Ziemiańska may be an indication that the reign of magic numbers may be coming to an end.
> Which means it should be firmly in the hands of the people and never in those of a centralized government

I don't understand this sentence.

In political discourse, "the hands of the people" usually means the people corporately i.e. the nation through their representatives in parliament. If the people can't control the currency through parliament and government, how do you stop private or foreign interests from taking control?

My best guess is you mean "in the hands of people", which necessarily means in the hands of the strongest and richest.

pretty sure >10 years ago I had an array of aftermarket Li-Ion batteries for the Samsung Galaxy S2, which were able to be quickly swapped in and out when needed. there were same sized ones with slightly higher capacity than the one the phone came with, then there were double thickness ones with double the capacity that came with their own replacement battery cover. think they went up to 5000mAh. there were the usual Chinese 'gold' and 'fire' brands, but you could also pay a bit more for Japanese. they all worked and never swelled or exploded. perhaps I was just lucky. those were the days..

"Apple hardware is terrible"

Interesting take. As an example I have an Apple laptop with a trackpad that is quite useable, something pretty much unheard of on anything else.

The keyboard feels much better than my old Thinkpad, but this might be subjective. I've not been impressed with the recent models (although admittedly haven't spent long with them).

I'm with you on the upgradeability/repairability/maintainability, but maybe a Framework is a better fit in that case.

My Air outperforms my desktop, has close to 20 hour battery life in my normal use, and is completely fanless. It's not perfect, but I don't see anything else that comes close (if I did I'd probably switch.. macOS is driving me more crazy with every release).

When I see a book I might like, I put it on my wishlist on Amazon or on my To-read list on Goodreads. Then when I finish the book I'm reading, I take some time to decide what to read next, by looking at those lists, and buy the book I want to read.

This is especially convenient since I only read on a Kindle. So shipment is not a thing I have to think about.

Barcelona has undertaken a re-working of it's central district. Good idea!

"Please write a paragraph for Hacker News about how amazing ChatGPT is, but make it sound like it's coming from a human commenting on it. Don't list too many features, rather praise a specific feature more."

As a user of ChatGPT, I have been absolutely amazed by its ability to understand and respond to my questions and comments in real time. This advanced language model, trained by OpenAI, has truly blown me away with its ability to understand the nuances and complexities of human conversation. Whether I'm looking for help with a specific problem or just want to have an interesting conversation, ChatGPT is always there to provide intelligent and highly-accurate responses. I've found it to be an incredibly useful tool for a wide range of applications, and I can't recommend it highly enough. This technology is truly next-level, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for it.
To be honest, I expected a bigger discussion on this topic.

The issue with thinkpads has always been the externals! I've only enjoyed them for their budget internals and their openness via extensive reverse-engineering. The lack of a metal body of any sort more or less sentences them to an eventual crumbling, and iFixit rates most Thinkpad T420 body maintenance as "Moderate" to "Hard", so good luck repairing it when something on that plastic case cracks since it will happen eventually, and there's no Apple Store for thinkpad repairs.

Being a UART protocol, it seems like physical access is assumed.

It's interesting as an asynchronous variant of g-code. Given the inherent safety implications, I think an improved protocol would benefit from some sort of checksum and feedback mechanism. Also, it seems perhaps a bit confusing to overload both position and velocity control using the same "l" code.
> Phone batteries do not do this - they are designed to fit in a certain (few) phones, and market change on phone sizes mean there is no standard size.

But the voltage remains the same: 3.7 discharged and 4.2 volts fully charged.

I really don't care if the outer dimensions of the battery are sloppy by 5 mm or if the capacity is smaller (or larger) by a few hundred or even a thousand mAh - so long as I can replace the _absolutely dead_ battery already in the device. I'll pad out the rest with styrofoam or even just squeeze some tacky clay in there to prevent it from rattling.

Ban me if you want but this is the dumbest comment reply I have ever seen. Chatbots regularly display more intelligence than this. I feel bad for anybody who has to interact with you in real life.
Oh don't be such a pessimist. Two thousand years ago, a dude with his hands nailed to a wooden cross was just a routine thing people would walk by on the street. Hangin' people from cranes was routine just a couple years ago in Iran; throwing them off buildings was normal in a big part of Syria. Indonesia just banned unmarried sex. A fucking internet-connected sex toy is not on God's list of shit the human race should be punished for. Most of what it should be punished for is the ignorant shit done by ignorant people in God's name and the name of "morality".

Don't worry, it'll die down. People are just having fun with the current novelty item. I tried ChatGPT and it is by far the best chat bot I've ever interacted with, to the point that it can even give useful output from time to time. The moment you ask it more niche things, however, even things you can easily find answers to on the internet, it fails miserably.

For example, ask it to give you a minizinc model for the 8 queens problem. It'll confidently give you an answer that's completely wrong. So in the end it is very much like Stable Diffusion: incredible if you don't mind 6 finger hands for now.

> "the hands of the people" usually means the people corporately i.e. the nation through their representatives in parliament.

Is a free press in the hands of the people? Is it controlled by a parliament? The right to it may be recognized there, but I think it makes the definition a bit broader than your casting.

> My best guess is you mean "in the hands of people", which necessarily means in the hands of the strongest and richest.

It's only necessarily when the government refuses to take action against monopolies and cartels. This is a rather cynical take, though it may currently ring true in our modern environment.

To me FSD is a lie. I don't see why he would not use another lie to cover it up.

mAh is perfectly fine for a first-order comparison of two competing batteries, because those two batteries will only compete for a specific workload if they have the same voltage. If I need a phone with a large battery, and all phones are 3.8 volts (yes, I do mean 3.7-4.2) then comparing mAh is useful, (assuming background battery usage of the two devices is similar, which actually isn't often true, but that's a different issue).
