I'm sympathetic to your point of view -- I remember the "independent investigators on reddit" wrongly accusing Sunil Tripathi of being the perpetrator of the Boston Bombing and causing his family a great deal of distress. But the author provides a few salient examples of why relying on "professional investigators" has come up short:

> The official report also did its best to paper over a number of failings that contributed to the plane not being found. In addition to the long delay in informing authorities — caused by missteps at the Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City control centers, as well as at Malaysia Airlines — criticism should have been levied at the Malaysian military. Why didn’t they intercept the unidentified aircraft as it was crossing the north of the country? The military claimed it was because the plane wasn’t a threat. But how could they have known that unless they had identified it as MH370, rather than a foreign incursion? And if they had identified it as MH370, why didn’t they tell anyone until days after the crash? The most likely explanation was that the military simply wasn’t monitoring its own radar at the time that the plane flew through Malaysian airspace. But admitting this would expose a massive security vulnerability by revealing Malaysia’s military to be dangerously incompetent. Probably for national security reasons, the official report had nothing to say about this at all.

Seems like this is a pretty serious omission.

and

> Zaharie’s social life was also not as smooth as Malaysian authorities portrayed it to be. A combination of the leaked police report and interviews with people who knew him revealed that he had separated from his wife on an informal basis and was living alone in the family home.

So in essence Malaysian police were obfuscating the facts around the pilot, for whatever reason they may have. Perhaps they concluded based on further research that the pilot was probably guiltless. But whatever the reason, we do know that what they said in public diverges from what they found in private.

It seems to me that independent investigation and open source intelligence of this kind can be useful when there may be reasons for the official investigators to cover up certain parts of the story.

Lastly, I think there is a substantial difference between a crowd of people online with no real investigatory track record accusing someone (a la Sunil Tripathi) in the days/hours/minutes after the incident, and someone with a proven track record of credible investigatory reporting and some subject matter expertise, laying out some mixture of facts/theories/conclusions (that have already been circulating online) ten years after the fact.

I believe nitrous oxide can act as an oxidizer, but cannot be used for respiration for a different reason than CO2 (already fully oxidized). But I'm not sure what that reason is: maybe the enzymatic capacity to pull the O off the N2 is just order(s) of magnitude too small or it has to go through NO metabolism.
1) Possibly see a doctor.

2) Change what you're doing. I don't know what you're doing, but the most common trigger for this in my narrow piece of the world is people pushing too far too soon. ex: shorten the count, or lengthen the count. Experiment, basically.

3) As an option to consider: ignore it and keep going. Some forms of breathing exercises make me feel on the verge of panic momentarily. It appears to be related to changes in the level of carbon dioxide where the brain mistakenly believes it is suffocating. The only two things that have worked for me are ignoring it or changing my timing slightly and building up a tolerance. (Well, a third: ensuring I am adequately hydrated.)
Wandering off from the topic seems legit. Any human would do the same.
You make good points, I think I agree with them. I started this tongue in cheek, but if I'm being serious here, my actual method is building genuine expertise in infosec and cryptography, to the point where I can make my own stuff. Which I did: https://monocypher.org

I was dissatisfied with the state of the art, which did not seem to provide the simple solutions I thought the world deserves. (My subject at the time was file encryption.) Even cryptographic libraries left something to be desired, including libsodium itself, despite the ton of respect I have for this library.

So I experimented with my own thing, and ended up finding a sweet spot between portability, performance, and simplicity. A surprising benefit was the embedded market: Monocypher can go where libsodium doesn't, and is to this day one of the fastest cryptographic libraries on micro-controllers.

Long story short, I don't have to rely on some reputation game to evaluate the security of something. I have the expertise to look at it more directly, and if need be do much of it myself. I have, and will, but I do hope the world doesn't turn so badly that my own expertise becomes more reliable than good external sources.

Fundamentally the fact that there’s anything to think about is an abject failure of why they put the icons there in the first place.

I think what happened here is obvious: there’s a very longstanding software design pattern that was broken by a perfectly sensible hardware controller design. The solution is likely to just stop using that software pattern. Make analogous icons or whatnot.
> Heck, there's parts of the mainland US that don't even have NEXRAD weather radar coverage.

Is that a good comparison, though? It seems like NOAA funding for the NEXRAD sites is perpetually inadequate. The one in Portland occasionally has outages that last a while. I would have guessed that civilian air control radar is better funded than NEXRAD, and military radar probably so well funded that every square inch of CONUS is covered by at least one.

They've had great sales, and the stock was even upgraded by a major analyst last week because they show a track record of being resilient and still being able to grow. So unless they suddenly had a bad quarter (which ends next week), the CRO seems to have done a great job.

>> On an organismal level, they are completely frozen to death — their heart stops beating and breathing ceases.

>> The frog’s death-defying trick actually comes down to one simple factor: nucleating proteins. When the frog’s skin begins to freeze, these proteins cause the water within the frog’s blood to freeze first, which in turn serves as a vacuum for most of the water out of the cells. Simultaneously, their bodies pump out large amounts of glucose to serve as stuffing material, which prevents the cells from collapsing.

>> Essentially, frogs fill their bodies full of sugar to keep themselves alive through winter. When warm temperatures melt the snow around their hibernacula, frogs slowly thaw back to life. Water melts and returns to the bloodstream, begins circulating, and restarts their heart and breathing. Within an hour or so the frog returns to normal life, completely unscathed.

Just wild!

What Are Word and Sentence Embeddings?
The Switch is the fifth best selling console of all time. That's not at all a fair comparison, especially given the difference in price point and how long the Switch has been on the market.

On the other hand, it's plausible that the Steam Deck could hit within 50% of Vita, the Wii U or Gamecube, which is amazing for Valve's second push into the console market, and immensely profitable, given Valve owns pretty much the only avenue with which people will be buying games for it and gets a 30% cut, on top of the Deck being significantly more expensive than any comparable console, now or historically.
The one -single- overarching narrative throughout humanity's existence is this: "Freedom."

I wonder what these AIs will determine after ingesting millennia of such datasets. Will the AI begin seeding its output with 'freedom' themes? I wonder what the oligarchs of the future will say about AIs that are constantly seeding the populace's entertainment with 'Be Free.'
By that logic everyone in the world is privileged compared to those earning 5% less than them, including every person here complaining about a Google employee's privilege. So what does that word mean exactly?

Sox is amazing.

I used it about 10 years ago to take raw audio of paintball guns shooting and help pre-process said audio for analysis of shots per second.

It was great for a bunch of reasons:

- it could so a frequency analysis to show me which frequencies were present in the audio

- I figured out there was the frequency of the sound when the ball left the barrel but also a frequency for the gun's firing mechanism

- I could then do a bandpass on just the frequency of the ball leaving the barrel

- It then let me convert the audio to a numerical format that made analyzing the peaks and valleys much easier in Perl

- The end result was I could accurately calculate shots per second given just a raw recording and some processing time
And yet there are plenty of action games that remain fun to play while running on platforms that ain't locked down tighter than a jelly donut stash in a weight loss clinic. Botting and aimhacking do happen, but apparently not with sufficient frequency to be a problem.
I feel quite strongly about this. Aligning society along a hierarchy of "intelligence" is really just aligning it on a hierarchy of access to education, which is just a function of economic class privilege (or racial class privilege really, these are tightly integrated even today in many societies for historical or otherwise reasons).

Therefore I believe that as our society reaches for further egalitarianism, this hierarchy of "intelligence" should flatten, imo towards people being more knowledgeable. Not like you need to take away people's Harvard PHDs to make sure every American has what they need to at least graduate highschool, or, you know, be able to read.

I don't necessarily agree that greater education leads to greater invulnerability to ads and the modern poisons in our society: most of my friends are smarter than me by many measures, and yet as far as I know I'm the only one not at least mildly addicted to Instagram and co., despite all of us often having conversations where we all seem to agree that that shits bad for you. Nah it takes something other than knowledge / educational privilege, i don't know what specifically, but something else.

Hello fellow hackers! This is a language I've been working on for some time and was curious to know what you thought about it!

To me it's just a learning exercise so it's not aimed at being the next big thing. I figured others may find it interesting as an example of how one might go about building something like this. Although it's a hobby language, still I don't feel like calling it a toy language. I'm trying to build something which is usable and works well!

I'd be happy to answer any questions!
Buauahaaha, I suspect we're two of a kind. Cheers to you, threads2.
I think it’s also not fair to compare it to commercially failed consoles like the Wii U or Game Cube.

I just picked the closest analog: a modern handheld that can be plugged into a TV.

One could also argue that its a means for companies to intentionally under-pay their staff while also re-directing any anger at being exploited from the company to the consumer.

Perfect divide and conquer tactics that has somehow become culturally engrained to the point that if anyone refuses to be part of this macabre tragedy they are framed the villain.
Good book! Ed Yong is a great author. It really made me question our modern medicine approach to use antibiotics which is essentially scorched earth tactics on our gut biome. I hope some cool medical science comes out of it. Like having medicines tailored to your gut biome makeup and balance.

Huh? I don't even think there Are official Steam Deck sales numbers. The best I can find was that they shipped over 1 million last October, not sold. But that was actually not long after they BEGAN shipping units. Not only that, but we're comparing it to the Switch, which is one of THE best selling game consoles ever. However, in its first year, IIRC, it actually "only" sold around 10 million units. That suggests that in its first year, the Steam Deck sold at least around 10% of what the Switch sold (although the deck was a lot more supply constrained, so it may have been higher if not for that.)

Since Valve doesn't share actual numbers, or at least has not done so yet, it's really hard to judge, but I think you're painting a picture that is at least a bit too pessimistic. I don't know if Valve actually expected to outsell stalwart console vendors, but I would actually guess they DID outsell the PS Vita's first year. That's really not too bad for a foray into a saturated market with a somewhat niche and admittedly even somewhat immature product.

Steam Deck probably has a bright future, but I'm most interested to hear if they had any success breaking into the market in Asia, as it seemed like that was a big push for them and probably generally one of the hardest markets for Valve/Steam, for a variety of different reasons. I have to guess the sales numbers in North America are pretty good based on how quickly we went through the preorders.

You see none of "Wikipedia is a living document"? I think people are pretty aware.

Many but not all restaurants in the US do that as well, even though they aren’t required to do it. They do it because customers appreciate it, and they know that customers are more willing to try an unfamiliar place if they have some idea of what the food is like.
Truthfully, while it IS well established, this is only because the class of “owners” have beaten it into us (workers/consumers) and it is a great example of capitalism gaslighting more exploitation.

Why hasn't anyone court in any jurisdiction found this by now then? Added fees are pernicious and annoying but I'm not aware of them being found to be illegal. The most likely end result is the court finds your lawsuit is frivolous and simply dismisses it then you end up paying the $8 charge if you are unlucky legal fees for bringing a frivolous suit.

Instead of relying on your fictional understanding of how the law works in every state of the union the more logical thing would be to either vote with your wallet or work to pass local laws against such fees or hell why not both.

Thanks! DanG.
Myth or not - mass terminations don't maximize profits anyway. In fact it is impossible to predict what will maximize or reduce profits beyond some trivial scenarios. Imagine if you could - every company would be nearly infinitely profitable. So they can do anything under the guise of "maximizing profits" and nobody can challenge it because there is no objective measure for it.
Most of US has at-will employment, so how is it different from everybody else?
What's bad for one company is not necessarily bad for another company. For example I would think very hard before hiring any senior from FAANG (layoffs or otherwise) at a startup, especially in the pre-100 employees stage. Might even be worse during the rapid growth phase.
Approaching it from "least to most" circumvents the problem of rationalizing and justifying. We get caught up in that when we're looking for "most important" or "what to do", but we already know what's got to come off the bottom of the list, without even having to explain it.

It also helps mitigate our fear avoidance strategies (ex: (a|b|c) - (x|y|z) + (w|t|f), Einsenhower quadrants, and so on) because there's just no room for it. Something has to go. What? Okay. Next.
That was not a reference to "those who don't follow your directions".
