I don't know about where street drug trafficking were heading these last 8 years since I didn't met a real life drug dealer since 2014, I only heard from (ex)-drug users, social workers, ex-dealer, and of course, the press. That in northern europe...

The current thing on the rise here seems to be ketamine, according to a social workers.

There was in local news papers article about gangs shooting (and launching grenades?) at each other after confiscated cocaine shipment... And Stephen Colbert joked about Belgium asking for help to distroy cocaine seizure. I met people who did jail time for various substances trafficking. I met people who were in recovery for cocaine addiction. I even met with someone advocating for drug legalization... And I know for sure some ex-neihbours set up a phony business to launder years of pot trafficking benefices.

But I never met, heard or read or whatever or whoever having encountered methamphetamine in any way (or someone having met someone else having encoutered methamphetamine)...

And I live 30 minutes away in train from the closest dutch city. I also live in the city with the (reportedly) highest number of drug users (and dealers?) per capita in the country.

So I don't know what to think about d-tartric acid seizure in holland and belgium, and where the corresponding drug is sold, but methamphetamine is definitively not a thing here.
I discovered this issue just last month trying to take a good photo of my partner sat next to our Christmas tree. No matter what I did, the iPhone kept brightening the image and losing the darkened look I was going for. Even after disabling every "smart" feature I could, it still uniformly brightened everything and reduced the contrast.

What was perhaps the most infuriating thing was that what I was seeing in the viewfinder preview looked great. I could see the photo, as I desired it, but when I tried to capture it, I got something else.
At some point your code has dependencies that call for this.

>“24% more carbon-intensive than gasoline” is not a ringing endorsement for [ethanol fuel]. The US really ought to stop doing this.

Ethanol in the current US gasoline supply, as I understand it, is not really an energy source. Rather, the purpose is to increase the octane rating. Other octane additives were added in smaller amounts (tetraethyl lead, methyl tert-butyl ether) but they tended to be persistent pollutants, while 10% ethanol is foolproof and non-polluting. But it's bad for food prices: 40% of the US corn crop is used for ethanol.

I could be way off, but that's what I heard.
Are we reading the same page? because what you linked to is an example of Government shielding a bad actor from liability. At multiple points in the wiki entry they talk about how government protected the Swill Milk factories.

I dont know if that is the shining example of government protection, nor the indictment of free markets you think it is.

>>your Ayn Randian fantasy

Nope, not an Objectivist. I am small l libertarian, very different from Objectivism which is Randian philosophy. Rand hated libertarians.

I am also not opposed to all government, or government regulation. I am opposed to extreme amounts of regulations (like regulation what type of interface a car must have be it touch screen or buttons), and I prefer the government to get out of my life. and I believe we have become a massively over regulated and criminalized society that in large part has created many of the problems we have today such as these huge corporations.

Some basic minimalist safety regulations are ok. Regulation numbers in the billions of pages where no one human can ever know and understand them all... Hard pass on that.
> Mining the oceans? How does that work? A forest should be a much denser source of carbon, particularly reduced carbon, than the ocean.

Algae tend to grow in large clumps, and you can very efficiently filter for them from water. I don't think it's a great strategy, but it's more practical than extracting from forests.

> CO2 fixed per hectare per year should be much higher in lignocellulose than in seed oils.

Forests are definitely way better for CO2 capture, but we're talking about producing fuel here. I'm speaking in terms of the net energy produced per hectare, so factoring in the energy consumed to extract fuel, industrial rapeseed oil beats the forest every day of the week.
I should say it’s usually

1. Submit bug
2. Get a cannot reproduce , please provide more information
3. Submit more info as requested
4. “Okay we can reproduce. Thanks”
5. Nothing for ages
6. Okay it’s fixed

Step number 5 almost always aligns with their OS release (point and major) schedules in my experience. macOS 13.1 just came out so if I filed a minor bug now, I’d probably not hear anything till June (WWDC) or if I’m lucky, in one of the point releases that happens every couple months.

If you have a family history of psychosis, it can trigger schizophrenia or bipolar.

If you're not predisposed to psychosis, can it really do anything besides give you a bad trip? Bad trips are traumatizing and may take a while to work through, psychologically, but it's not permanent damage.

Personally, I had a very bad trip that led me to stop doing drugs and, ultimately, to a lot of very positive changes in my life.
All those years I spent emitting CO2 finally paid off :)

Integration tests that fire up a local server are not that unusual I find. I don't think there is anything unusual or "wrong" about that.

... But if you are counting how long integration tests take to run in single-digit minutes then either your app is really small/simple or your integration coverage is low! :)

I've worked on "state of the art" frontends at BigCos where integration/end-to-end tests are sharded across perhaps 10 test server instances ("local" in spirit, in reality technically not on the workstation), and even then it takes 20+ minutes to execute. They typically have to execute separately from the usual unit tests etc (which run automatically as part of the pre-push CD set up).
I’m several weeks into owning a quest, and I use it regularly only for dance/exercise-ish games. I’m not sure how long it’ll last, but I think it has helped to have really low expectations. It’s not “a new computing paradigm”, it’s just kind of an interesting toy.
None of these points really explain why a warrant canary can't have value it just explains why you in particular don't find value in it which isn't necessarily supposed to be surprising.

Why is every user of a service supposed to care about something for it to have value in the service? Why is everyone supposed to agree on what level of connectivity obfuscation makes them feel comfortable? Why can't someone find value in simply knowing the government isn't monitoring how they use services without notice? If it has no impact on monitoring ability why would the government bother getting a warrant in the first place? Why can't someone be interested in knowing how pervasive invisible warrant requests are? Why should everyone equally be comfortable with just encrypting and calling it a day?

Even though I don't really have any direct utility from a warrant canary (e.g. Reddit's warrant canary went away ~7 years ago and it didn't trigger any direct consequences with me using Reddit) I still find them useful and, knowing how relatively lax I am about privacy/security compared to many, I have no doubts many find direct use of them. For some other specific companies/services/projects though I could even see a warrant canary possibly having high direct value.

You are mostly right. I do glance to find a physical button, but I have to look to find the touchscreen button and keep looking to verify my finger is on it.

It's a large difference in time.

Properly designed buttons should also have various shapes and textures so your fingers learn which ones are which by feel. Airplanes do this - for example, the knob to lower the landing gear is a little tire. The knob to lower the flaps has a knob shaped like a wing on it.

I come from the aircraft industry where this is a big deal, but the auto people go for a "cool" look rather than a "safe and reliable" look.
EFF used to run a "Canary Watch"[1] website which is now defunct.

In fact, EFF even held a "Canary Summit" at NYU in 2014 which I was invited to. It was only held that one year, however, and once Apple and other large firms discontinued their canaries all of the steam was seemingly lost ...

All I can say is: even though you say you agree with me, you keep deliberately saying the same falsehoods, deliberately clumping disparate and non-related things together, and deliberately misrepresenting and misinterpreting everything related to privacy decisions in Europe.

I've said all I had to say here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34268322

For a person who writes things like "I rarely see enough concern over is that you can't trust the future to keep things private", you do sure go out of your way to defend arbitrary bulk data collection for the most mundane of things, ads. Oh, and the defeatist "we can't expect to keep things private, so to hell with it, no consent for any private data is necessary".

I have nothing to say to you further.

Adieu.

Additionally the choice of the model is an important choice too. Some AI art collections even make their own derivative models where a human picks extra images to train off of.

It reminds me of 3D art where there is a lot of up front work in making models, textures, armatures, and shaders. You send a ton of data to the GPU and it spits out a rendered image or more likely a tile of one. Sending a vector of bones does not seem much different then sending a vector of a prompt.
> Secretly, I was aghast that the professional appraisal of works worth tens of thousands of dollars might rely on a device that opaquely alters raw images.

I'm not sure if you mean "raw" in RAW sense, but FWIW this critique applies to Smart HDR specifically. If you shoot and share RAW images with an iPhone Smart HDR is not used, and you will reliably see something closely resembling reality.¹ I shoot everything in RAW, trained by the regret of not doing this for special shots earlier in my life.

¹ "You can, of course, take a RAW photo using apps like Halide (it’s worth noting that ProRAW photos are still post-processed), but then you’ll have a much larger image file just to get a more natural result."
Yep, especially with all the orange in my logo you have linked.

> woody biomass isn't coming from clear cutting forests, its from necessary thinning to keep forests healthy

From what I've seen, claims to this effect often turn out to be false. For instance, from https://billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-little-xmas-cheer-for-...:

> ...the world’s largest supplier of wood pellets for power generation ... has long insisted that it doesn’t use big, whole trees, but only uses wood waste, “tops, limbs, thinnings, and/or low-value smaller trees.” It insists it only sources wood from areas where trees will be regrown, and that it doesn’t contribute to deforestation.

> As it turns out, Mongabay reporter Justin Catanoso found a management whistleblower who pointed him in the direction of clearcuts that the company was making: Catanoso watched as a feller-buncher machine grappled down a fifty-acre forest and fed the old oaks straight into a chipper, producing tons of wood to be turned into pellets. The whistleblower said that was par for the course: “We take giant, whole trees. We don’t care where they come from. The notion of sustainably managed forests is nonsense. We can’t get wood into the mills fast enough.”

> He continued: “The company says that we use mostly waste like branches, treetops and debris to make pellets. What a joke. We use 100% whole trees in our pellets. We hardly use any waste. Pellet density is critical. You get that from whole trees, not junk.”

structs -> n * M; "m-expression" 1st element outside of () is the "memory index".

cons struc vs. cons lisp () is apples/oranages comparison.

if convert both the 'cons struc' and the cons lisp () to same byte vector/stack or equivalent byte tree/heap, then yes, both 'cons' functions are equivalent.

The code generation of the STM tooling is honestly the best part of using STM32s IMO. Especially in the personal project/hobby area where sometimes you just don't feel like churning out boilerplate but also don't want to sink to arduino ide levels.

The ESP-IDF framework is very nice but I haven't had much exposure to CMake so I'm still wrangling around with project structure.
> simplifying the language and some of the conceptual stuff

This might work to an extent, but I think it makes more sense to choose a resource that's actually targeted at kids so that it's holistically and fundamentally designed to be the best thing possible for kids. That means features like simplifying the language itself (like Hedy or Scratch) or a game like https://codecombat.com/ to make it fun.
Seems like most pedals should be handled by reaper's built in effect plugins, no?
Yes, to make space to grow crops to make biofuel. Not because the forest is being "mined" for it's carbon to make biofuel out.

As the article points out, growing crops to make biofuel is very space intensive.

The article makes it sound as if just switching the machine on with the right patch configured, gives you a polyphonic composition.

Even if you patch-in a sequencer, the patch doesn't include the sequence. You couldn't use patch cords to determine the melody.

Also, I think that back in the analogue synth days, you couldn't get a sequencer that stored multiple parts; one sequencer, one part. Also storage was limited; you couldn't sequence more than a few lines of music.

Maybe I remember wrong; I didn't get to mess with sequencers.
The autocorrect is impressively awful. I’d much prefer a simple autocorrect over what they have now, which will “fix” correctly spelled words with something that doesn’t even make sense. I’ve had a few times where it learns something from a typo I made a few times and it simply would not unlearn it without a complete reset of the keyboard.

One of the most confusing examples I have of the terrible autocorrect is that anytime I wrote “20”, it would always get replaced with “2.0” and “50” would always get replaced with “5-0”. I finally realized it was because I had two apps on my phone, one which had “2.0” in the name and the other “5-0”. Once I deleted those apps, it stopped replacing those numbers. It’s really baffling to me their autocorrect would work that way.

Similarly, I’ve resorted to using a 3rd party camera app to avoid the occasional picture coming out looking like an oil painting. I’ve been using halide mark ii, which works quite well, although I can’t recommend it anymore due to their new business model being a very pricey subscription. Luckily I got grandfathered in, so the app still works for me.
As long as a venv exists and is activated, your Makefile can simply “pip install -r ./requirements.txt” and pip should make sure that all constraints in the requirements are met.

Make sure that the package management tools are up-to-date first with “python -m pip install—upgrade pip setuptools wheel”.

Pip is very fast now and shouldn’t take more than a second if all dependencies are already installed. The only part that’s too slow is installing a package from source.
Need to reference EnterpriseFizzBuzz in Java repository as example, too.

This is a thing; it's called "BECCS". You can also sequester the carbon without trying to burn it first; see, for instance, https://charmindustrial.com/.

My children were vaguely interested in programming but one thing they got of it was that learning functions in Python helped them enormously with formal functions in math.

This is one of the things I regret with how math is taught in France: it stresses way too much the formal part and this is terrifying for children (and teens and everyone except mathematicians).

We have a religious reverence to maths in France. It is better now but used to be simply ridiculous. Unfortunately it still means that some more advanced topics such as derivatives are introduced through definitions (the chapter starts with "be a function f(x) with x in the domain of real numbers, a derivative is a function such that f'(x) = lim h→0 ...").

My son came to me with a WTF? I told him about average velocity transitioning to instant velocity by reducing dt, or about acceleration - and finished by showing that a derivative is a function factory (a function gets in, a completely different, unrelated function goes out). He was then ready for the definition.

Same with physics which is tainted by chemistry, with terminally boring topics introduced first. No wonder that we have less and less STEM students.
lol, I use velcro tape, not duct tape.

Although duct tape sounds pretty amazing now that you mention it. If somebody walked into a hacker meetup with a drive duct taped to their laptop I'd assume they were pretty awesome.
Setting aside that Apple is not a product, tradeoffs are the name of the game regardless of vendor.

I use apps like Halide to fill in the gaps in the stock camera app, and shoot with a standalone camera when I want full creative control.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have a wishlist.

The funny part is that the primary theme of my comment is about the control Apple gives you over your data - control you do not have when picking other products - and arguable a more important thing to allow me to control.

The problem is that this is a fake narrative. You're right, of course, I wouldn't approve of Facebook selling my contact list.

But compared to sharing of my private medical information within the government and to external private parties to enable government tax collection ... THAT I object to 100x more, but it never seems to make the news. I would like to see a blanket ban on government departments sharing ANY data beyond "this person exists", with exceptions approved on a case by case basis by congress plus heavy fines for government departments found in violating of these rules. Maybe even personal criminal liability for government employees actually doing the sharing if that's necessary to stop it.
Apple Card offering $55 Daily Cash to cover WSJ subscription for new holders
There were similar guidelines approaches for COVID but political pressure dictated otherwise.
Apple are trying to please two separate groups:

- people who use “proper” cameras and thus have expectations about what a photo should look like

- people who want iPhone photos to reflect how they perceive the scene.

The iPhone camera app is configured for the second group, as it probably should be, but as a member of the first group I’d love an opt out button (without having to shoot in raw).
Goodness gracious.

There is an entire generation of school children (at the very least in my locality) who were forced to use an incredibly poor implementation of this method by teachers who barely understood the intent themselves.

On which we were punished for not doing correctly.

The biggest gripe I had about this method was that the lessons in middle school and high school never had enough information density to make this meaningful in any way.

Anyways, I can’t take notes like this anymore. Being punished an entire letter grade for not having enough questions on my notes when I was aceing every single test made me never want to take notes like this ever again.

Edit: I’m sure this system works for some people but it definitely did not click with the way my brain retains information but being forced to try to learn in a manner that my brain did not want to learn has left me with a burning desire to never do it again.
