> The thing about too big to fail is that it's not that someone is so big there's no way they can fail; it's that someone is so big the government is forced to bail them out instead of letting them fail. Given that cryptocurrency is dominated by people at best thumbing their noses at the idea of government control, what government is going to be willing to step in to save the failing too big to fail crypto bank?

This is some of why tether is still going strong, I think. Everyone in the crypto economy has enormous exposure to tether blowing up, so everyone tries to ignore it.

The people doing the bailing out are everyone who holds crypto, I guess. This was done explicitly when Bitfinex's money launderer stole their money -- Bitfinex did a "bail-in" where they gave all their customers except coinbase something like an 80% haircut.

Not saying you're wrong, but there is a parallel that has propped up the ecosystem for quite some time! And I guess it gets worse: as too-big-to-fail entities don't fail, they get bigger and perceived-safer which works until it doesn't.

I've developed a pretty severe allergy to anything cannabis or CBD oil related. It started at the end of 2020 and came out of the blue after taking CBD oil one day. Before that, AFAIK I had no allergy to anything cannabis related. It causes bad respiratory issues for about 48 hours if I consume any and skin hives that take at least a month to fully clear up.

I wish I knew what caused my allergy to appear, whether age, COVID, or something in the oil that wasn't supposed to be there perhaps.

Those are all fair responses. I guess I just haven't seen much uptake of those new features among the Substack writers that I follow. When they do podcasts, they're hosted by ACast, SimpleCast, or one of the other podcast hosting platforms out there. Videos are hosted on YouTube (like everyone else's).

I would prefer if Substack spent more resources on improving its "core" newsletter/blog experience, but I can understand, given their status as a home for controversial writers, their desire to be a self-contained service.
I've been reading Peter Zeihan's book , "the end of the world is just the beginning" the death of free trade being the central theme a near future where the US has abandoned policing the seas and formerly interconnected economies localize in response. Began reading it slightly sceptical of the premise but anecdotes like this above are adding up to a near term 30-50 year that might resemble a global contraction amongst trading relationships.
There's value in redundancy and continuous stream of images where one follows the other.

It would be nice to have a dataset of a couple "raising" a Video recorder for 1 year as if they would a baby. A continuous stream of data.

Could train a model to predict the next frames based on what it's seen so far.
Title is misleading, should be "Cogent's IPv6 support is broken"
You're going way overboard. It is likely that a lot of the benefits of cannabis come down to simply sleeping better. Your "drug dealer" canard speaks to criminalizing something relatively harmless. Relative to alcohol, for example, which is a very harmful drug, you don't get people calling the vintners drug dealers. The drug war and the carceral state do a lot more harm than cannabis ever could.
> For a SaaS app, wouldn't that copyright attribution be on the server side (hidden to the end user)?

I agree and my take on this is based on the way compilers generate binaries. I would not expect a compiler to inject random copyright notices in sdtout, for example. Ghost, in this case, is acting like "compiler" and the HTML can be thought of as the "output" akin to a binary generated by a traditional compiler. The MIT license (and similarly permissive ones) do not dictate software usage and thus it's output is not required to have any attribution, only source code.

sure I have! but it seems like tech is still the best bang for your buck career out there.

careers that pay more (medicine, law, finance) are meat grinders, cut-throat as fuck, hyper elitist (good luck getting into a top tier investment bank or law firm without going to an ivy league school) and require additional schooling.

more fulfilling careers (education, government, NGOs, etc.) are meat grinders, elitist, pay way less, and are exploited by people who worked in the careers listed above.

definitely talk to people IRL in other careers that you're considering before making the jump. it might be possible for you to coast on tech to fund something more fulfilling.
Regarding your last point, there's a way to add your PC's local files to your Spotify account so you can listen to them anywhere. Though it's a bit of a pain, I've found it handy.

Not that I expect this to convince you to use Spotify, just that this info may help others.
The idea that the ocean isn't a endless void only really came about in the 1960s and 70s.

> Create fake big css files (10MB etc). And repeatedly download that from the adversary's website. This should cost them too much money on proxies.

Doesn't that also cost you an equal amount? You'll be serving them an equal amount that they proxy to the end user.

It's not even necessarily a cost for them; you're assuming that the host is owned and paid for by the abuser. If it's simply been hijacked (quite possible), you're just racking up costs for another victim.
Except on a Mac, then they were 800k.

Uh, the reason I'm not dead because of the Sackler Family's profiteering is because I studied cannabis and know my strains and my doses. 250,000+ Americans dead, 5x that in family suffering, the single first drop in life expectancy for white males in the country in reasonable working age. And go look at the testimony I found from the floor of the House when they passed the original Prohibition if you like naked racism toward Blacks and Latinos. I found it in a library, they still exist.

It does work for blood pressure, anxiety, pain management, arthritis management, and just being able to relax and let your body heal.

Oh that's right, we have sick-care and a broken fucking system in the US where even maintenance medication (about to be discontinued) was billed at $35,000 a month if you include shipping. I used to get 90 day supplies. Now it's every month. I can only imagine what something newer than 20 years old costs here.

Hence I'm happy to have met some Nepalese and will likely travel to the capitol with guidance from a North Texas immigrant peer who shares the love of Guns N Roses and thinks I'd really like it there. Free health care. They speak English. They like music and don't throw people in jail for that plant that grows naturally in their environment. They might not have pets, but pets are a luxury. I'd rather go to a place that can enjoy an evening of food and music more than trying to get together for some cultish sports thing creating regional rivalries that mean abso-fuckin-lutely nothing.
SC does have some issues. One is huge variance in map length. Either it is couple of minutes or maybe 10 of some cheese tactic or then half an hour hour long grind. Which makes reliable format rather hard to implement.
As someone who works in the commerce space day-to-day, the trend is interesting and definitely something you will hear a lot of ecommerce managers and businesses discuss.

Aside from the frontend flexibility, one major advantage of building API-first in an ecommerce context is that it can allow different parts of the system to be developed and maintained independently. This can make it easier to update and extend individual components without affecting the overall system - which is often a headache with current systems such as Shopify, Magento etc.

IMO, One of the most interesting nuances in the space is the focus shift between OS and closed-source solutions in this space. The problem for larger companies (+$50M) is that they seek to build something their tech teams can take full ownership of and easily inject custom logic into. This is not as easy with proprietary solutions even if they are headless and API-first. Instead these businesses end up looking into either building something fully custom or seek out open source solutions like Medusa (JS/TS), Sylius (PHP) or Spree (Ruby) to use as a foundation to build a custom setup from.

In general though, the headless / API-first trend definitely seem to be something that a lot of companies are exploring at the moment.
You could say that about the restaurant industry where people regularly lose their shirts, except a few players are consistently profitable.

It's interesting that so many of these tricks are specifically for testing invariance properties. I wonder if it's because those sort of questions pop up a lot, or maybe those are the type of problems that TT enjoys, or that those problems are particularly amenable to coming up with tricks to solve.

> * Invariance under linear combinations / convex combinations / algebraic operations -> suffices to check basis elements / extreme elements / generators

This is the insight that led me to really start to understand linear algebra while working through Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right.

> * Invariance under tensor products -> suffices to check one-dimensional/irreducible case

I suppose this is case dependent, but I can imagine some groups irreducible representations are way messier to handle than others!
MMI is an old term used extensively in military/industrial equipment up until the 2000s.

I suspect it is just that the grandparent is older that 40 and has worked with/in manufacturing.
They didn't claim that there was a statistical difference in 3A. It's with senescent cells at the 48 hour time-point when combined with hydrogen peroxide, that they saw the biggest difference. (3C, on the right)
Breathing air is not a victimless crime unless you can prove that none of the people breathing the air are using the oxygen to help their bodies harm a victim.

> if they had to use the traditional banking system there are multiple chokepoints which made it much harder to get and keep significant sums that way

I experienced something similar, the pain still persists but it's a bit different, maybe more "tingly" in some way. Wasn't better or worse for me though
"I wonder if it's because some of those at the mid-to-level making these decisions are under the same market pressures as the rest of us to show they've actually 'done sometime'"

Definitely true. Also don't discount the influence of good old fashioned corruption - cash kickbacks, job promises, gifts, etc., I've seen IT contracting decisions so dumb that graft is far and away the most logical explanation.
Likely the pilgrim's trail. Oslo to Trondheim is the most popular of St. Olav's Ways.

The eastern route includes a trip on Skibladner, a steamboat on the aforementioned Lake Mjøsa.
At least in the Android app, you can go to an Artist's page and choose to not ever play that artist. I've done this with a handful of artists (Taylor Swift and Smashmouth come to mind) and it makes it so much better.
I agree that we could be already making some of these changes, and that the increase in output is definitely gobbling up a bunch of our capacity to do so. That said, we have seen a huge rise in average quality of life over the past 200 years of industrialization. The percentage of people in abject poverty is still much too high, but it's trending downwards [0] and I think AI automation could accelerate that change. I think it may be easier to just scale output so far that it overwhelms human greed — which might sound crazy, but in my opinion is easier than effecting large-scale societal change. We should absolutely be working on societal change as well, though!

I don't have much of a problem with Spotify with its navigation features but however they've been cramming way too much crap on the home page and frequently injecting random artists into my feed.
I keep getting confused as to where my "Recently Played" items went. Sometimes they're in "Home" and sometimes they are in "Search".

On top of this, they have committed a nastiness on Android 12 which keeps nagging you to turn on bluetooth to discover devices and it keeps coming back even after you said NO. Here's a support thread that's been open for months and they never cared about it.

Yeah, grass and bushes and trees and shrubs can, have, and will continue to grow in any but the most extreme conditions sure and those are going to be fine for herbivores who can digest and extract nutrients from them, but for the food crops that we can eat, they need pretty specific climates for us to successfully cultivate them at the scale needed to sustain sizable populations.
My smart home gadgets are a common source of controversy in my house.

I have some rooms with dimmable lights that work really well even if there is some latency. I have other ones where there are chronic reliability problems usually because I tried to get a Sengled switch to work a Hue light or something like that.

I’d say my project success rate has been about 50%.

Hue made a really great switch which is piezoelectric powered and doesn’t need a battery but these are now crazy expensive and hard to find. I think switches are affected by supply chain issues but might not be stocked at places like Best Guy because plenty of people seem to have a smartphone grafted to them and just use the phone as a switch.
Sauropods are Saurischian not Ornitishian. But you are right, we want them too.

> I just don't trust any of the medical research surrounding it.

Same, I tried to do some research about the effects of weed on a certain chemical in the body, and every paper I found had some completely different conclusions.

I will say the one thing cannabis does for me that’s absolutely amazing is as an anti-emetic/anti nausea remedy. Nothing else I’ve ever tried has come close to relieving those sort of symptoms. It does also seem to work for me as a sleep aid, but in the same way as say, antihistamines do (i.e. I’ll sleep, but I’ll have an intense brain fog the next morning)
Would be nice if upstream Ghost made this easier for users. I just checked my blog and it has a default footer with a link "powered by ghost", they could just as easily have a link to the license.
>>The last study I read found that it’s more harmful than cigarette smoke

>That's true

It's very, very questionable that that's true.

Since no link has been provided, and every study I've ever seen says the exact opposite, I'll continue believing cannabis smoke is far less damaging until I see very strong evidence otherwise.
If ChatGPT is generating text by learning from the best of the human comments, then can an average human comment beat it?
Its a mistake to think think scientific studies are about establishing facts. Science produces explanations that can be tested. If you never test them, science stops working.
Recommend you read through again.

I think you're missing the main learnings.

But will take this feedback into consideration for the next PDF I make.
To be fair, there were some USB sticks (that did not have much success) by PNY that had a (clever) open/close mechanism that made it into a rectangular shape with a paper label on one side where you could write (only 2 lines).

The case/mechanism was similar to this:

https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-6bkt1ygjlf/images/stencil/60...

but they were sold in boxes of 10 or 12, I cannot remember if they were 1 or 2 GB capacity.

EDIT:

found an actual picture of them:

http://www.usbmemorysticks.net/wp-content/gallery/pny-third-...

they were 2 and 4 GB.
MVC frameworks like Django, Rails, etc, are not headless by default, as they take care of all frontend rendering.

Headless = frontend and backend are fully separated; the "promise" was to have the backend be used on multiple projects. You would have a headless backend, then a web frontend project, an iOS one, an Android one, etc without having to rewrite any backend code.
> what conscience really is

My favorite line from Westworld - "if you cannot tell the difference, does it really matter?"
> If the 100% MC/DC coverage was critical to forks, the companies that fork (there's lots of them!) would have bought it.

Again, that's a non-sequitur (or perhaps strawman, you can choose), because I wasn't addressing the proprietary test set, merely the comparison between a text editor and a database, which is completely absurd since the tolerance for failures is drastically different.
Equivariance is growing in popularity in machine learning, so these tricks will be helpful if one wants to study, or publish, in that area (I'm thinking about it). I'd recommend for any ML-related folks to look into this area and save this thread whenever they're trying to implement an equivariant neural network.
Lunar mining of 3He is a huge canard. It likely requires more energy to extract it from regolith than it returns from fusion (10 ppb is not much!)

3He can be made by DD fusion (which either produces 3He, or produces T which can be allowed to decay to 3He; neutrons from DD fusion can also be used to make tritium which can also be allowed to decay to 3He.) This is Helion's plan, with the system operated in a mode that suppresses DT fusion.
Lessons are applicable to both.

But like a good DM, needed a good Hacker News title!

I used XFCE for a few years. My biggest issue with it was that my work machine is a laptop that I have configured as dual-screen with an external monitor. I have a need to dock and undock several times a day as I alternate between working at my desk, go to meetings, work from somewhere else in the building, etc. Maybe it's better now, but back then XFCE was terrible at figuring out where windows are supposed to go as displays came and went. GNOME (hell, even GNOME 2) to its credit, always handled this flawlessly. KDE was iffy for a long time but now it's fine.
Begone foul fiend!
System like X10 or power line Ethernet that communicate over power lines have huge transformers and I think high power consumption. You’d think you could have power line Ethernet in your PC or X10 bulbs but it is not so practical.
No, but the linked study looked into wound healing and found it to be effective. This aligns with my personal experience.

Yeah I'm aware, but I want a proper cloud locker where I can upload once, set my metadata, album art, etc and then stream it from any device.
Lmao. If we extrapolate your logic to few hundred years ago - you shouldn’t survive over 40 yrs. But I’m sure you can’t wait to retire at 60. So your perspective is simply a result of past scientific work in defeating ‘natural death’. And suddenly you think it’s a bad idea.
Charge and cost are only half of the picture.

Research proposals are not supposed to necessarily solve current real-life problems so there is nothing inherently wrong with that.

But given the amount of startups coming out of universities, the mindset is crazily wrong. So many people coming with a technology. If it's software you can at least pivot easily but if you got some kind of hardware technology, it becomes much less simple to do that.

> Low interest + easy capital + bloated academic research machine = new problems. It's a problem creation machine.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but academy seems to be more of a solution creation machine without real problem solving. Problem solving as in someone will pay to get rid of the problem because it happens frequently and costs a lot of money each time.
Forcing all users of your website to use JavaScript to get around a scammer is pretty heavy-handed.

Nice. I just looked up last February's bill for my ~1700sqft detached SFH in Saint Paul. It was apparently 6.8 therms/day (12 deg F average temp for the month). That maths out to about 5916 kWh for the coldest month (6.8 therms * 29 kwh/therm * 30 days), or a little more than double your estimate. March was 5.9 therms/day and Jan was 5.4 therms/day. So I think your costs are on the conservative side of things... or possibly my home is very inefficient :)

E: Ah, it occurs to me that you're using electric heat pumps, which are probably much more efficient than my NG boiler.

The upside is that babies get to interact with the environment they're training on. Image models can't move the camera a few cm to the right if they're interested in the perspective of a particular scene.
> Can the mouse scroll speed be configured in KDE, nowadays?

Unfortunately KDE has gone full stupid in this regard. From the numerous bug reports, I think they decided that you can't please everyone so they should please nobody. Scroll speed is not deterministic to humans, who are not calculators. The intuitive thing is to scroll a consistent a amount per wheel tick. They used to do this but now it's a percentage of the content so sometimes it scrolls 14 lines and sometimes it scrolls 8.

I guess the behavior is different in Wayland because "x11 is dead" therefore only breaking changes make it into the x11 version. Some day they'll make the x11 version suck as bad as Wayland and then people will make the right choice. /s I'd be a bit less salty if I wasn't being asked to chose between two different sets of broken. I need LibreOffice to work so I'm using x11.
It just means one is not improving monotonically. There may be plateaux but the general trend is upwards.
The idea in Prolog and such is that you write "goal-seeking code" and it "magically" obtains the correct answer by brute force but without the brute force being syntactically/lexically apparent. But it's still brute force. It's a catchy name, but it's not accurate. It might be more accurate if "simulation" were part of the name.
