Indeed, this is an assisted brain storming tool, not automated problem solving where you're supposed to trust the result wholesale.

For work I used ChatGPT to write a very specific programming problem and it wasn't a solution you'd ever copy/paste...the lack of context to the surrounding system means that's impractical 99% of the time outside of toy problems.

But it was still super useful for getting my brain working and suggesting a really good basic structure it would have taken me 3-4 failure cycles to get to.

The same exists in DALL-E/GPT for corporate art generation, writing 'essays', or stories or w/e. It's almost never producing the end product (besides toy problems).

So, if it can't do that in the first place, why evaluate it as if that's what it's supposed to be?
I think the fact that there is a public conversation about what is healthy vs. what is not is a huge step in the right direction, even if human nature means we’ll always be fighting.

I strongly believe that in a few decades (probably sooner), the traditional social media platforms will be seen as cigarettes. Some people will still partake, but no one has any misconception about the harm they cause.

Healthier alternatives will be important in the long run, even if there is no perfect technical solution.

I do like your theories about why certain networks have fared as they have, and hopefully Mozilla comes away with some insights that might lead to something that highlights the good parts.
Black Diamond Hiking Headlamp. I use it all the time puttering around the garage and in the yard. I was just turning off my sprinkler's main valve with the headlamp on and spotted two baby grass snakes. Without the headlamp, I would never known they were there. Not that it matters, I left them alone.
Ruby is a surprisingly simple language. Metaprogramming in ruby is a pretty good book that makes it clear what is happening under the hood.

The yield is probably the most complicated part of it, but it is extremely useful for hiding complexity. Once you understand yield, there is very little magic to what ruby is doing.

I prefer python to ruby, but the concept is the same:

https://realpython.com/introduction-to-python-generators/

As for understanding the command line/reasoning about it, they are usually generated iteratively.

Look at a file to see what you have to work with:
$ cat $file | head -n 5
Decide commas aren't useful and remove them
$ cat $file | sed 's/,//g' | head -n 5
Decide you want a tab between every 4 characters on any given line
$ cat $file | sed 's/,//g' | sed 's/\(....\)/\1\t/g' | head -n 5

Each step of the way you see the output, and every additional pipe modifies the last seen output.

Everything else is just being aware of what tools you can use (sed/awk/grep/xargs/etc) and the limits of the data you work with.

GP may have done something like popping the ruby repl, irb, and then:

File.read('input6.txt').chars
File.read('input6.txt').chars.each_cons(4).to_a
File.read('input6.txt').chars.each_cons(4).find_index { _1.uniq == _1 } + 4
It's a poorly formed question, and journalism in general is not a good venue for exploring the actual multiple questions that must be answered to get at the ostensible question in the title, much less the answers to those questions.

An adequate addressing of the topic would need to start, at minimum, with defining with great specificity the following terms as applied to this problems:

Force (which mechanisms, legal, physical, social, etc)

Treatment (Chemical? Talk therapy & its many varieties? Simple protection from oneself, or others from the subject?)

Mentally Ill (As classified by the DSM-V? Some other formal source? Who makes the diagnosis, what if there are competing diagnosis from different practitioners? Does the State get a say in this definition?)

Humane (A vague concept whose specific definition, often also a bit vague, will vary by context: In the US it is considered humane to euthanize animals in pain that cannot be cured, or with terminal conditions, or some combination thereof. Doing so to humans, even with their consent, is highly controversial. And yet suicide hangs silently over many discussions of mental illness, and too often mental illness is resistant to treatment to the point of torture for the person experiencing it, even with their full & willing consent to any treatment that might help their cause. Further there is the same question of who decides what humane gets to mean, both in general and as applied in specific circumstances.)

This barely scratches the surface, all I've done is identify items in a short headline that need defining, and each of those could take countless person-hours of discussion & debate and still not be settled in a meaningful way in which most parties agreed.
maybe not a planet but a mini blackhole tugged by a small ship at high velocity to crash into your sun and turn it into a proper black-hole with accretion disc and the works would do some serious damage to you as a species.

personally I'd go for something like a nanobot gray goo thing that infects & turns everything it touches in a given gravity well. then send over a bunch of ships to wipe out remaining stragglers.
Not what I heard.
I don't see how this is being spun as a bad thing. The devil is in the details, but this has been a long time coming.

You don't get to do business with Americans but not follow American law. If companies don't want to abide by the new regulations, they're free to continue doing business offshore. If you don't want to play by the rules by all means setup shop in another country that will accept you.

Story as I understand it so far

- Gullible Americans invest in shady "line-go-up" businesses that exist outside of established legal framework
- Gullible Americans lose massive amounts of money due to systemic fraud and have no recourse for legal action
- Gullible Americans complain to US government
- US Government, doing it's job, passes laws setting up new rules and regulations for safely doing crypto business with Gullible Americans (KYC etc)
- Gullible Americans now have legal recourse, but find that the crypto space isn't nearly as magical as it was before.
- Many of these Gullible Americans now decide go to the casino instead, or get in on that traditional MLM scheme their friend kept pitching them that now sounds great.
- A smaller number continue to send $$$ to shady overseas entities, hoping that more $$$ eventually come back, and complaining to everyone when it doesn't, but no one listens this time.

A fool and his money are soon parted. Meet me in the back alley at midnight, I have a bridge to sell you. Unregulated finance should be treated the same as a back alley deal, good luck to you.

What's the issue here?

Sounds awesome; thanks for clarifying above, too.
correct, see my reply in the sibling comment
I think the answer I was expecting was that it's a two-step process: 1) Be lucky, and 2) Don't be unlucky. My next-door neighbor is actually a local politician, but her party affiliation is the one I dislike, so I'm getting a life-lesson in humility.
Imagine muggers with this tech. Imagine gangs with cameras guarding approaches to their turf – watching for rival gangs, cops, and people who have been placed on the all-gang database of marks and narcs.
> Where are you getting the idea that 90% of South Australia's electricity is coming from renewables? Fossil fuels still account for ~35% of the state's generation [1].

You're still making the point for me here. After only 5 years or so of actually supporting renewables and meaningful growth, and around two years of solar being the cheapest option, they're meeting 65% of the total electricity.

> As per your links, Australia merely has targets while Sweden has actually produced and delivered green steel. In fact, again as per the link, Sweden has made the world's first delivery of steel produced without fossil fuels. I'm struggling to see how you conclude this is a lie when your own sources explain how Australia has no plants or production, while Sweden has actually produced green steel.

Ah, so you're back to claiming that things that aren't already finished are impossible and irrelevant. Really working hard to find somewhere you can put those goalposts.

Also Lulea is in Sweden's north so your pathetic attempt at a gotchya of a single load from a demo plant was powered with hydro and wind, not Nuclear.

Agreed! I, probably like many HN readers, tend to over-optimize every part of my life. But life is more than optimization for an output — sometimes the purpose is just the pure joy and fun of doing it. Projects like this are a great reminder.
"Threat to the fabric of society"? The author is an influential figure, and should know better. This sensationalizing, fear-mongering and FUD is the real "threat to society".

Right, the old "my kids are gonna kill yours" argument. Who needs to worry about nuance or ethics when we've got guns? A cousin of mine spent about two years in jail over shooting that was eventually ruled as self-defense. Are your kids prepared for that?
You do know that most of this happened during the Trump administration, when Trump was ultimately in control of the FBI, right?
You don't hit your head on the bike, you hit it on the concrete or a curb. Roads can be slippery, material failure is possible. The speed of the bike isn't that much of a factor, it's the object under you preventing you from effectively mitigating the fall, or making it worse.
Ah ok. No, we don't do that, but we do intend to have some form of karma sharing and it will probably involve something like that.
Astonishingly the graph shows that 50% of YC investments are still active after 10 years. That is definitely not a fail fast model.

Also references the power law of returns: https://jaredheyman.medium.com/on-the-eery-predictability-of...

Those two facts show that being YC or a VC is a good business, but being a founder is financially risky. And presumably the median early employee is kidding themselves on their expected returns.
Political science doesn’t place everything onto a left-right single dimensional line. If you think it does you need to spend some more time actually reading.

Additionally, political science has many subfields and the ones that are closely related to political beliefs are subject to the same replication crisis as the other fields of social psychology (i.e. lots of junk science). So any of that stuff that generalizes 1 dimensional outcomes to entire lifestyles and views is likely complete trash.
Ironic since the first time I heard about her was from conservative homeschooling types who were big fans of her due to her book 'The Two Income Trap'.

Seems like a lot of people are converting classic cars to electric nowadays, and as the article says, using the entire Tesla rear end is common. One annoyance with this (other than issues with mounting points and the distance between the rear tires vs stock) is that you're stuck with the stock Tesla brake rotors, which means that you're running minimum 17in wheels - i.e., you can't use the stock wheels, so you're stuck with building a resto-mod instead of a sleeper.

The other problem with this is that you can fairly easily end up with rear brakes that are far better than the front brakes (backwards from what you usually want), unless you significantly upgrade the front brakes.

That being said, it's still probably the cheapest and simplest way to get a lot of electric power (although it's still not gonna be cheap or simple).
Interesting read in you can get past the paywall.

This is it. It’s algorithms to drive “engagement”. Anger is easy to generate and match the algorithm to.
> "As it is, the Obsidian sync takes a few minutes. And if you edit the file on another device before sync goes through, you’ll lose the changes from one device or the other."

This has been my biggest fear using sync. So far I haven't had any issues, but I just get a" feeling" (maybe it's the lag between syncs) that this could definitely happen.

Can you explain in a little more detail how it might actually occur? Maybe so I can prevent it from happening.
When much younger, I promised myself that if I do nothing else in life, I would learn to play the Prelude in C. I've since met that promise, and played a few other things too, but the Prelude will always be special for me.
On my work there is a utility that sends my shell history from all my terminal sessions and pcs to centralized database as I run commands, enabling search and cross reference. That saves tons of time. I haven’t bothered to set similar things for my personal use but I’m sure they do exist too.

Tmux + tmux continuum is another utility that saves many hours. I use it only on remote machines though.

Ffmpeg cli for fast lossless cutting of video. (Apparently there is nice gui for that, never tried though)
If anything it speaks for MIDI that it is used for sheet music at all even if it was never intended to be.

I'm not sure what you mean with "culturally significant public adoption".

Whatever the definition, I'd probably argue that the movie The Matrix succeeded, even though it's still under copyright. That is: long copyright need not preclude that.

More to the point, I also don't mind long copyrights per se. if an individual produced a work that ensures a steady income for the rest of their life, I prefer that individual enjoying those benefits over having a free-for-all. Eg, in my opinion, a one-hit-wonder from the 80s should still profit from their one hit if that hit still generated profits.

That applies to individuals/small groups though, not for media companies. That is, I don't want the folks responsible for works that are still in our hearts and minds decades later to miss out; don't care much for businesses after initial run.
Not only can you legally download it, you can burn it to disk and sell copies if you wanted to.
This is an inane and deliberately obtuse response to this policy.

There is a vast difference between terms used by marginalised groups to refer to dominant ones, and terms used by dominant groups to refer to marginalised ones.

Whether or not this policy itself is effective or well-considered, the broader mission to identify ways in which historic injustice is ingrained and perpetuated through our language and try to amend it is a noble one.

There are many words throughout history that have been common place but carried so much cultural baggage that they became damaging and were thus abandoned - most terms we now consider slurs were once defended with arguments of similar merits to your own.

The process of improving our language is never going to be an easy one, no doubt many found it challenging to fully excise many of our abandoned terms from their vocabulary, but it's been done before, and will likely be done indefinitely into the future unless we ever reach a point of such equality that our language can no longer cause harm.
Sorry, I was talking specifically in the US. I think you may be talking UK.

We have a "front-end" ~28% and "back-end" ~36% debt to income (DTI) limits (typically). Front-end is ratio of mortgage loan to income and back-end is ratio of all debt to income.

The interest rate can wildly change the size of loan you can get for a given income because of this method (as we saw prior to last year).

If you had a fixed ratio, when interest rates go up a 4.5x mortgage would be a lot less affordable. I can't imagine paying a 8% loan on $450,000 with $100,000 income. That's be $4000 a month, front-end rate of ~48%. Ouch! Guaranteed foreclosure.

Neither system is perfect, I still don't like that non-debt expenses are not counted and it should be net income after taxes.
I generally agree with you, except for the view on class mobility. If we defeat aging altogether, I strongly suspect society to stratify aggressively between those that can afford it and those who can't, and worse, a class of immortal wealth to form. Today, maintaining generational wealth requires A) balancing relatively small family sizes to keep the exponential growth of family members relatively inline with the exponential growth of well-managed wealth against dying off because no one had kids and B) a mostly continuous line of responsible investors. In a future where dying of old age isn't a problem, A becomes much easier and B) is eliminated entirely. It's all the problems of generational wealth with none of the saving graces.

On the whole I think it's worth it, but it will definitely exasperate the problems already inherent to our economic system.
Just remember they were 'fiery but mostly peaceful' protests according to the mainstream media.
From the link:

> AES-256 is a military-grade encryption specification that's widely used in for example online banking.

The term “military grade” is meaningless and if anything raises a red flag (at least to me). What would be more useful is a detailed spec on the implementation.

Are the crypto routines implemented in house or has a well tested library been used? If in house, had there been an external code audit done? What were the results ?
Any time you have people start tracking their weight, it’s not surprising that they might start paying attention to their diet and lose some weight.

If there was a social media network that could exclude these things, then smaller would be fine.

I remember Google Reader as a brief, well-balanced example of healthy social media platform. It was mostly text, the selection bias was in favor of users who were savvy enough to understand RSS, generally interested in an array of different things, no engagement algorithms. The blogosphere that drove much of the content at the time was wonkish, (more) independent, often irreverent but also sincere about what a better future for human civilization and politics could be like. Haven't seen another thing like it since.
There are systems of voting that would allow voters to both "protest vote" and yet also vote for policy. So-called "approval voting" (where the voter gets an infinite number of votes) helps mute the damage done by blind-rage protest voting, and can help discover the signal sent by voters, regarding policy:

Since it's trivial to write the code to generate your own key pair - there might be a law, but like a lot of laws - it wouldn't actually have much impact and it would potentially have a ton of very negative side effects.
I agree that central exchanges should be regulated, and in the US they are. If the US can get foreign exchanges to behave, so much the better.

The issue is classifying an individual running a small miner/validator in their bedroom as a money service business (Sec 3(a) in the bill), requiring them to do the impossible by collecting KYC on whatever transactions cross the network.
Right. People need to realise that ChatGPT shouldn't be used in the same way as Google or asking a question on SO. It doesn't have the same capabilities and drawbacks.

In particular because of it not understanding the big picture it won't point out that you're asking the wrong question like an expert human would. (Does it ever?)
Curious what impact this will have if any on US markets.

The facts I cited above directly contradict the myth of solar having a small forced outage. The fact of the matter is that solar is an intermittent source of energy. Sure, you can get away with saying that solar has a small forced outage, if you conveniently forget that solar generates a minuscule amount of power when the sun is out. You’ll have a hard time heating yourself with that, as the Germans discovered.

By the way, my source of information is mainstream French media.
Note, it's one customizable button that brings up basic bluetooth touch screen controls, not as useful as pebble with multiple customizable buttons but it's very servicable since the screen is large. Also note software drama with the Huawei ban, so you need to install their store and healthsync to get everything working.

I'm in Canada, and the few vendors that sell huawei watches regularly discount to ~180 USD. I got my gt2 pro with points from our local pharmacist for slightly less than that. It was mainly spur of moment purchase for the oxygen monitor for covid, otherwise I would have been satisfied sticking with miband. Personally not into big watches, but got plenty of compliments. Matter of taste, but I would not spend 300+ USD for a smart watch yet, still not sure how battery life will play out.

Other tip I have since you focused on music controls is you can spend $20 to get a bluetooth car control remote with physical buttons to control media easily during winter with gloves on and wear whatever watch you want. I use to keep one in my breast pocket and can control my media through feel alone. It's stupid but it works.
