I would have been more interested to understand the demand size. These articles make it out as if it's the supply that drives the market. Is more supply really why more cocaine is being used? It seems like the luxury market overall is booming and I wonder, for example if cocaine is part of that?

Overall it's clear that legalization is s better solution than whatever is going on now. It might even remove some of the cachet that makes it a luxury item.

You always know before your friend if the gf is cheating on him, just by observing. But one's own relationship is obscured by some sort of distorting effect.

I don't think it's a matter of 'IQ Drop'. I think it's more an example of 'Sunk Cost Fallacy' in that we don't want to admit to ourselves that we've wasted years or decades and also many thousands of dollars on a relationship that is very likely over, but maybe, just maybe, might be able to be turned around so that it wasn't all wasted.

Ask HN: File Management Software for PhD
For my PhD I am accumulating thousands pdf and word documents from with lecture notes, transcriptions, powerpoint slides, and handouts.

I also have several thousand recordings of lectures & interviews.

I am searching for a software which would allow me to upload all of these, cross-match them, tag them, add metadata, and be able to search and organize them by date, location, audience, or topic.

Ideally, this software would enable the creation of composite objects made up of multiple recordings, documents, tags, and metadata. For example, a composite object could be a lecture a person gave in Argentina last May and it would include:

- A recording from the speaker's iPhone
- A recording from the sound system where the Spanish translation is more clear
- A recording of a French translation made recently
- A pdf document of the speaker's notes
- A pdf document of someone's transcription in English
- A pdf document of a machine-generated transcription in Spanish
- A brief summary
- Tags such as: Big Data, Twitter, MongoDB
- Metadata such as:
- Delivered: May 15, 2022
- Event: DataCrunch Conference
- Audience: University Students

An added bonus would be the ability to have user accounts with different access permissions to view, download, and edit these listings.

Does such a software exist? I've been searching and searching and haven't found one. I used to write software, so worst case I could maybe make it myself.
There's a big leap there though from "non-traditional" to "not necessary". A colleague of mine is working on a project involving ensuring that farmers can track their feed and illness statistics correctly to improve their yields. It's not a traditional job, but it's absolutely necessary to ensure that (for example) the dairy industry can provide enough milk. (And moreover, to reduce the number of people who need to be working on calculating those statistics by hand.)

Likewise, you're also assuming that jobs that meet needs are more essential than jobs that meet wants, but the point of post-scarcity is that not only our needs are met, but our wants are as well. Picard can make himself a cup of earl grey whenever he wants, as opposed to sustaining himself with the recommended nutri-pack. One of my most fulfilling jobs was working for a t-shirt printing company - in theory, nothing we did was at all essential, but it was clearly very important to a lot of people's lives. Some of the most fascinating orders were memorial t-shirts being printed for people's funerals. Not essential at all, but I would argue very valuable to us as a species.

There are many cases where it does not work or does something insane. However, the number of hooks exposed are very low and I’m impressed with how often it works. When it goes off the rails, it is usually because it 1) tries to use functions that don’t exist (the distance() function is one that I had to relent and implement; but I’ve also seen euclideanDistance() occasionally), 2) defines functions of its own after invoking them in code, or 3) misunderstands the relationship between the user (whose position is exposed through “cameraPosition”) and planes. I’ve put very little effort into mitigating these but have found that simply adding functions for it to use in common scenarios helps a lot.

I think the window size of ChatGPT is quite limited so I can’t use prompts that are arbitrarily long but it’s not hard to see how increasing this window size and fine tuning on custom APIs could produce a model that would work more often than not.

There is a difference if you can think bigger or if you're just a ordinary being working at Google with decent amount of monthly income.

So, to try to answer your questions:

If you have a map in which you want to colour the regions, you can convert to a graph by putting a capital city in each region, then putting a road between two capitals of countries that share a border. Colouring the capital cities vertices) so that any joined by roads (edges) get different colours is exactly the same problem.

The graph-colouring problem is more general now, but every planar graph is equivalent to a map and vice-versa ... there is a one-to-one correspondence between these problems.

Now we move to the NP-Completeness of the 3-colouring of general graphs. That shows that this sort of thing is hard for the reasons I gave in the grandparent post.

"But" I hear you say "That's for general graphs, and not for planar graphs!"

Yes, but there is a way to convert a graph-colouring problem on a non-planar graph into an equivalent graph-colouring problem on a planar graph, so we neither gain nor lose much by consider just planar graphs.

So 3-colouring planar graphs is NP-Complete.

Then you get into my comments about making bad choices and having to backtrack, and spooky action at a distance.

Hope that helps.
This will be the case eventually, but not for a while yet. There are still so many useful and interesting applications that can be built until then.

Stack Overflow is indeed quite painful in this regard, and it really, really doesn't need to be like this. And in fact, it isn't all the time, or in every Stack Exchange. Sometimes, finding the right Stack Exchange site helps a lot (like with retrocomputing), where the premise (say, "I want to get this to run on Windows 95") won't turn into arguments over security patches (or whatever) derailing the question. Or sometimes you just have to find the right people in the community, and nudge them to answer somehow. Certain users tend to be quite generous and go out of their way to answer everything you asked with more to guide you, while others love to chide you and slap you with a question closure or deletion for even thinking about walking off the beaten path.

Not OP but I’ll chime in with a favourite: Matt Levine’s Money Stuff.

It’s fun to read, informative and insightful.
He could post a secret in the decrypted text on the page that, once submitted to the chain, fulfills the contract and transfers the ETH. I know very little about smart contracts but I thought this is what they’re good at… “if a value is posted with a sha512 hash that matches x, the contract is fulfilled”, and put the value on the page, encrypted, and ask hackers to decrypt it.

It doesn’t necessarily prove that the encrypted key is valid, but it proves that the author put some money up on the chain at least. It could always be that the decrypted text doesn’t provide the key that fulfills the contract, but ultimately that isn’t a solvable problem. You can’t prove a claim about some encrypted text without someone having the ability to decrypt it.
Polarised cord only works if your house sockets are wired correctly which is not necessarily the case and your earth bond might not be as good as you think it is. Always assume that the lowest competence is applied when it comes to safety evaluation.

At this point I wouldn’t run one of these things at all. If you drop dead you have no idea if some relative is going to plug it in and kill themselves with it. They were designed to a cost target when safety wasn’t a business concern. Steal the tubes and variable caps out and dispose of the rest. At best, stick it in a museum, preferably of dangerous things that should never be plugged in.

There’s plenty of tube kit out there you can buy which isn’t even remotely this dangerous.

Unfortunately one big problem is the quality of Apple’s documentation. It’s nowhere near as good as e.g., the Unity engine documentation or Microsoft’s API docs. At best, it’s useful for discovering what exists and then you either figure it out or look for specific examples online.
I just went to Houten on google maps.

In that area I couldn't come up with a route between two points that took longer than 10 minutes by car. And that was by trying to find the two most inconvenient points in the town. I don't know if Houten has this feature but there are often movable bollards that allow emergency vehicles to take shortcuts.

From their centrally located public health center, I couldn't find a location that was more than 6 minutes by car or 10 minutes by bike.

A 6 minute response time is better than most people can hope for in many major cities in Europe.
That may be true for the author, but it's pretty common to use fixed point integers for DSP. It's less expensive in hardware, and very convenient. You don't need an FPU or a floating point DSP, it's easy to implement in FPGAs (which often have integer adders and multipliers as extra blocks also), and fixed point integer algorithms are pretty easy to characterize in terms of SNR and other tradeoffs (MATLAB has an entire "Fixed Point" toolbox for that, and it's great).

Often in DSP, there is just no good reason to use floating point instead of fixed point integers.

In my view all your consevative (anti-)desires are just as fulfilled by also integrating with the rest of the web well. ActivityPub will tell you about the comments that come in and you can host them, with additional links out.

I feel like you are attempting to snub, & promote not being part of the web, in a slyish way & making excuses for doing the less good thing. But I dont see how any of your wants are fulfilled or enhanced by sticking to an egocentric old world model, where you dont integrate or interoperate with anyone else.
This is definitely an interesting take on tunnelling, but I struggle a little bit to see how this would be either faster or cheaper than conventional methods.

First off you have to buy a load of strong and mechanically complicated robots (expensive), and then many small tunnels to put them in. Drilling these small tunnels won't be that much faster, and certainly no cheaper than one big one, assuming they're using conventional microtunneling equipment (required for the accuracy).

Also, what happens if a robot breaks down mid operation? Are you going to go fishing, or try and send in a human to dig it out? Worst case, you can't do anything and have to revert back to manual digging the whole way. You really don't want a timeline to blow up like that in a real project!

This system has the big advantage that everything is modular, so a bigger tunnel just requires more robot mini-tunnels. Economies of scale should make everything a bit cheaper, especially since the robots and mini-TBMs would be reusable.

Getting geology before you tunnel is also a benefit, but if this was so good, surely tunneling contractors would already do this by sending just one micro-TBM ahead of their main one! What can this system actually do if bad geology is detected? Not much...

Fundamentally the robots don't really solve anything except overcomplicating tunneling. You still have pretty much all the expensive parts (materials, spoil removal, planning, investigatory drilling, sinking shafts, etc) but now with the additional costs and uncertainty of having loads of robots too.

If you asked me to design a lining-first tunneling method, I'd completely ignore robots and try and use existing technology first. Take horizontal directional drilling equipment, make it cheaper and just directionally drill a ring of wells. Pierce the casing at a regular interval, and then fill the whole thing with high pressure grout. No robots needed and this happens everyday, just vertically rather than horizontally.

Right, this is true with any website that you don’t run. dang can come in here and ban whoever he wants for whatever reason. At the end of the day, if you’re going to a platform (specific mastodon instance) ran by someone else, you’ve got to have an amount of trust in who’s running it.

But Mastodon and ActivityPub do attempt to mitigate this - you can run your own instance (and of course, you’re not entitled for someone else to republish you) to seize back some of that control. Followers and follows are a lot more portable, so it’s easier to move instances (which is party automated)
Think about the number of ways in which these can be combined and the kind of headache that would cause during testing.

Maybe they would benefit from a project aimed at reducing this to a more manageable list?

Keep in mind that resistance training is one mode of exercise, and that its results, benefits, and risks are specific to the exercise done.

Shooting for a simple measure of repetitions over time may not serve any particular fitness goal, and huge numbers of repetitions can be counterproductive, either not delivering a benefit, or contributing to, e.g., repetitive motion injuries.

It's also strongly recommended to balance movements with assistive and complementary ones.

Push-ups, a pushing movement, should be paired with pulling movements: rows, chin-ups, and the like.

Push-ups, a sagittal plane movement, should be combined with frontal plane (lateral flyes, shoulder press, side lunges) and transverse plane (e.g., forward flyes). See: <https://valleysocialmag.com/three-planes-of-motion/>

Push-ups, an upper-body movement, should be paired with lower-body exercises (leg day!) such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and glute-ham raises.

Push-ups, one form of core strengthening movement (holding your body prone whilst supported on your toes and hands is an effort itself, contrast with the far less stressful inversion, the bench press) should be combined with other complementary core movements and exercises.

I'm a fan generally of the "New Rules of Lifting" model from Lou Schuler (though there are of course many, many strength-training methods which work), which identifies six key movements: push (you're doing these), pull, twist, squat, lunge, and deadlift. There are numerous variants of each, and many can be done with body-weight resistance, though others benefit from additional loading (e.g., barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells), cables, and other forms of resistance.

The book gives the logic of lifts, how (and why and when) muscle adaptation (strength, size, endurance) happens, diet, and cardio. there are a number of titles following the same basic model. The women's book has a far larger dietary and recipe section, the "for life" books address the issues of aging: injury, prevention, recovery, and accommodation.

That was something else. Most command line flags were untouched from the defaults. What was a problem was GFE's command line.
