Might and Magic 6 and 7 are some of my favorite childhood memories and I still go back and play through them once every couple of years.

Thanks for making awesome games!
Probably because it wasn't just a simple 'replay' file.
It should be law that “recovery” fees, for a service as critical to infrastructure, be tax deductible as charity/donation.

If Eversource fucked up and didnt have enough resource to deal with a storm, and the state paid with our taxes to bail out, how is that different than them charging us a line item for that same end goal?
Profit sharing can be things such as giving a bonus when sales are good. No need to make things as complicated as possible. Lots of other sectors give bonuses, restaurants/hospitality almost never.
Thank you for your feedback.

They wouldn't give me their specific IP address whenever it changes, either. (Only the new crc16). I would never know their IP address at any point.

As for complicated, I don't think updating a hash whenever their IP address changes is complicated at all, but thank you for mentioning it. I can make sure this process is as simple as possible.
It’s privilege all the way down in our industry, after all
Except in this case, we've gone from 5 billion lanes to 2.8 billion, and I'm fairly certain that this should be more than enough lanes to load a UI and some cached images.
I think maybe the appropriate distinction (restating way you said) is "science" that models the physical world, like physics or chemistry, vs "science" that explores statistical relationships between stuff, like many medical or social studies.

In general an element of both is present, but on one end tou have, say Newton, and on the other you have some study that says electromagnetic waves are bad for you because of some statistical health outcome but proposes no causal mechanism.

The problem seems to be that the further towards the latter part of the spectrum someone's research is, the more likely they are to be adamant that they're "doing science" and promote all the BS about consensus and peer review that gives a pretend version of how science happens.

Presumably due to insecurity. When your work rests on a foundation of p-hacking, you're more likely to be pounding "the science" as justification, vs if you're a physistics that's traced a result back to basic axioms of your field, your work speaks for itself and you don't need to yell how the science is settled

At Metal Toad they are Toads.
Do they support Voice over LTE though?
it's really a good lesson in "make it human-readable" being at odds with "make it easily parseable"
None of that really disagrees with the commenters point though. They might indeed be privileged and out of touch (nearly guaranteed in fact), but that does not mean Googlers aren’t even more so.

Not that I particularly mind either way: we are all a privileged lot in the tech world. Myself absolutely included!
But what labor did they contribute? Follow the chain and at most what they did was buy someone else's labor and attach it to the Google brand (through having more cash for hiring), there's other ways to do that though, like loans, or structuring as a co-op so all employees are simply the only shareholders.
That's a really useful reminder, thanks. I admit I hadn't figured out that guessing game limitation before, but you're right, it logically follows from the whole "replay the last X,000 tokens" mechanism it uses.
I have a very similar observation.

My belief is that when you have a group of extremely smart and hard working people competing for promotions, the ones focusing on managing perception and relationships will do better than those focusing on the business or product.
As part of rule making, MPs should be forced to make their own info available twelve months prior to this rule being applicable to the public. A lot of useless laws would stop being proposed almost immediately. Increasingly, rule makers are a cabal.
That's what people there tell me. I'm sure it depends a lot on what part of Google people work for, but yeah, come in late, leave early, long lunches, work-outs, meetings to discuss meetings... I don't know how they got things done. In plenty of companies things that took a team of seven with a manager could be accomplished by two. So, yeah, the reputation has some known basis but may not reflect all of Google.
FWIW, TMobile seems not to do this.
I'm not offended by the volume he's producing, just the act of doing low value chemistry work at home making something gross, it will get repeated by less capable viewers in uncontrolled environments.

On the other hand, I always thought things like anarchist cookbook and erowid type stuff is great for knowledge sharing. I don't think there should be a monopoly on knowing how to do stuff but this is different, maybe the youtube viewership monetization, I cannot place my finger on it.

I'm saying this is a dumb synthesis to show off, there is no value in the product, if anything it is a disposal liability, and it's in a home lab. One mistake and you get a chlorine cloud or an organic solvent spill in a residential setting.

It glorifies understanding where the electrons or protons jump but its super basic. Like how hungry for validation do you need to be to show off your recent degree or internet recipe scavenging.

Solvents are commoditized. Chlorinated solvents need to be phased out. Whereas, in industrial settings that are vilified for justifiable reasons there is increasing scrutiny on any solvents introduction to processes especially chlorinated types for good reason.

I'm saying it's a dumb thing to do and totally misses the mark for educational videos.

That guy who makes chips in his garage with nasty etch gasses, high voltage magnatrons, photoresist, and projector litho I'll admit is really cool and impressive but may pose a greater neighbor threat if a mishap happens.
I found that doing breathing exercises in isolation were very boring and I couldn't get myself to care. But using structured breathing while exercising made it way more enjoyable. Having physical cues for the different steps helped make it more of a measurable skill where I notice improvements over time.

Musicians and athletes practice structured breathing as a way of building cardio and increasing lung capacity. Your lungs don't change, you just learn to control airflow better. The way "ancient traditions" are frequently framed makes me avoid and treat them like pseudoscience. Framing it from the persepctive of an athlete helped me evaluate it more seriously. Mindful meditation is beneficial but completely indepedent from breathing exercises and you don't need the former to get benefits from the latter.

I am not arguing the value or validity of "ancient techniques", I am sharing my initial bias when I was first introduced to pranayama, and how it's taught as if it exists in isolation. This post doesn't mention sports or singing/musicians once.

There's many techniques but box breathing where you take extra air in after you feel like your lungs are full, and a longer period exhaling than inhaling, is the primary technique I was taught for marching band/trombone. The "cyclic sighing" described in the paper, but with a longer inhale and exhale. We did, at ~80 bpm, 4 counts for inhale, 4 counts of holding, and 8 counts of exhale, with whatever extra "sip" of air we could manage to inhale during the hold. If you're not used to breathing exercises, doing 4+4+8 a few times can leave you light headed. It's normal to cough from the extra sip of air.
What bothered me was how personal it was made to be. If it had just said “Pilot A” rather than repeatedly naming them and bringing in personal details, it would have felt more tasteful to me, less… “true crime”-y.
That's really you're boundary? Bellybuttons??? I'm pretty sure you're just messing with me. I'm definitely in the "bellybuttons before grundle region parts" camp.

Or how about no human parts, remains or otherwise. Thank goodness to be born today rather than any time before 1970 or so. Horrifying. Dahmer would've loved the medieval ages.
I'm sure you know but PSA for those that don't: N2O is practically the only "safe" inhalant. Others, like gasoline, computer duster, urinal pucks, etc. have a risk of causing spontaneous heart attacks even in young healthy users.

N2O's main physical risk is B12 deficiency, or asphyxiating if you use a mask.
My bad.

It seems to still be rolling out.

Only if you're happy to conflate members and sets, which is pretty confusing IMO. If I write a = b I don't generally think of b as being a set, even though in some sense it is; "b is an expression with this type" is a much more natural way of thinking to me.

UMG presumably have to defend the copyright to maintain it, so they get all the costs and none of the upside benefits?
I’ve had good success with mdp as well - when I saw the OP I was kind of hoping it would work with the same format mdp uses so I could go either lo-fi or fancy depending on the audience.
I read a story, "Maybe" true, probably not that once one of the testing organizations that did exactly these sorts of tests used to use frozen chickens from the supermarket. They would load the air-cannon the night before the test, then in the morning the chicken would be defrosted and they were ready to go.

However one morning the test results were rather more "messy" than they were expecting. They had no clue what had gone wrong, so they reviewed the high-speed footage to see the chicken leave the barrel along with a stray cat that had been chewing on it when the cannon fired...

Hrm, interesting to see how the TDP of those 8358s drives overall power consumption. I'm looking at the idrac consoles of a couple R720XDs with 12 3.5" hdds, >128gb ram, two E5-2665s per, and they're all currently sipping ~150W at < 1 load average. The E5s have a TDP of 115W to the 8358's 250W, so I assume that's what's most of it. I admittedly do some special IPMI fan stuff, but that only shaves off tens of watts.
Yes, this is mostly an airtime use issue. Older devices have less efficient radios and thus cost more. Specifically iPhones with Intel modems.
Stout's article and follow-up book The Shareholder Value Myth both make much the same argument. She thinks people want to have a simple picture of the "purpose" of a corporation, and lean on this idea of shareholder value maximization as a crutch. In reality, a corporation is just another chaotic political body with different voting rules.
Lol be glad you live in a better neighborhood than mine. Credit cards are off the table due to chargebacks because of how many stolen cards got run.
Let's say I'm a bank, how do I know that my APIs don't allow the unintentional creation of money?

Presumably because the engineers designed the system to prevent that. They didn't build the system by looking at example API calls and constructing a system which satisfied the examples, but had random behavior elsewhere. They understood this property as an important invariant. More important than matching the timestamps to a particular ISO format.

I'm not talking about "good" design as "adapting to changing requirements" or adhering to "design principles" or whatever else people say makes a design good.

I'm talking about designing for simplicity so that the behavior of the system can be reliably predicted. This is an objective quality of the system. If you can predict the output, then the system has this quality. If you made it like that on purpose, then you designed it for this quality.

LLMs do not have this simplicity, but a software system you would trust to power a bank does.
Google is an outlier in that the employees (in some departments) can begin to approach the wealth of the large investors. In most companies, the shareholders are rewarded far and away beyond what employees are rewarded with, even though their opportunity costs are generally lower (even if they theoretically risked large nominal amounts in their investments). The assertion is that investors generally tend to be rewarded disproportionately to their value contributed.
Or unionizing.
Part of the reason AVs are not a panacea. Walkable cities are fault-tolerant cities. No way around that.
Yeah and I've done heroin and cocaine plenty of times without getting addicted but those are notoriously dangerous things to play with. Didn't help me out any with alcohol and I spent decades fighting that one off. Why risk it why encourage people to why even write this here?
> Radar is not exactly “new” technology, to your point I wonder why airports are not equipped with one. Shouldn’t break the bank.

But it does break the bank. Radar may not be new tech, but it is still expensive to operate. Even the US is removing radars. To be fair, the US has thousands of airports (and even more small airfields), but it has a huge area to cover.

Also, the military angle is covered in the article.
I have a project I'm working on where I need to turn a bunch of bank statements into spreadsheets, is that an example what you're talking about? If so, I am extremely interested and would love to know how to implement it.
Glad to see BuyVM mentioned here because I was just about to suggest it, I've been using them for close to a year now and nothing I've found comes close to the performance to dollar you get with them, their services are great +1
Rather than imagining, we must look at the data.
I'm all for cynicism, but it really is true that spectrum is a limited resource and turning off 3G service means you can repurpose that spectrum for newer standards. If we never shut off old generations of wireless standards, eventually the spectrum would run out and we could never upgrade anything.

I also don't really understand what you mean by "slowly force everyone ASAP". That's sort of a self-contradictory phrase.
Some people want Signal to do SMS, but it was using the phone number associated with the SIM card. We should only use SIM cards for data and never for OTA calls or SMS. jmp.chat, voip.ms, and other VOIP services can be used for calls and SMS at low cost to improve security. Of course I use anonymous prepaid cards and only away from house.
can i use the three dimensions to encode a space-filling curve over a 1000-dimensional embedding?
In the last paragraph of the article, the author talks about how how disturbing it was to see the cruel logic of absolute loylaty take hold of Valtin’s life. I had a similar reaction to Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia. In the first read it’s a story of bureaucracy’s indifference to a revolutionary cause, but read it again and you notice the good guys are little more than armed bandits on a killing spree.
Tidepool Loop, open-source interoperable insulin dosing system, approved by FDA
Loop, an artificial pancreas system for diabetics, has a long history in terms of its development, but for a brief summary which might be of interest to the HN audience: It began as a home-brew system, built by diabetics who reverse-engineered insulin pump firmware and control software in order to gain control of the devices which keep them alive. If you've heard of OpenAPS or the Nightscout projects, this was born out of the same community. Insulin pumps, until several years ago, could only be configured statically to adjust the insulin dosing amount which keeps a patient's blood sugar values in range. But when paired with a continuous glucose monitor, a "closed-loop" system can be created to attempt to keep sugars in range algorithmically. A group of engineers launched Tidepool, a non-profit, in an attempt to get full regulatory approval for the software which thousands were running on their devices to expand it to a wider audience, and along they way they have been able to get buy-in from insulin pump manufacturers to develop an open and interoperable ecosystem. Now, 4 or so years later, the system has received FDA clearance -- the first of its kind, not created by one specific insulin pump manufacturer or corporation but instead by a group of developers with backing from this non-profit.

I imagine a bootstrap prompt that looks like:

The value “generated” actually belongs to the consumers who are forced to pay (doesn’t matter whether directly or indirectly) exuberant prices to a monopoly.
Which is precisely what Google is.
I think they focused on it somewhat more after the 8 or so huge amateur security flaws on the original Xbox
> You might even be able to ask chatgpt or a service on top ofit, "has this article any new conclusions about the state of Mh370?" without actually reading the article.

The problem is, if ChatGPT doesn't have the data, it likes to create completely fictional narratives.
Interesting. I first heard about the ban from a tabla player in the mid 80s and took it at face value. I couldn't remember which instrument.

I see the paper has quotes from Nehru which aren't exactly supportive of the instrument, so I guess that's why most people still associate him with the ban.
One thing I've noticed recently on 2 restaurant trips in the last couple weeks: The automatic tip calculations are wrong in the server/restaurant's favor. Most of us typically check the 20% option and don't double-check the math, but in the past these calculations were always done pre-tax. If your food came to $100 and you tipped 20%, the total would be $120 + sales tax.

Now, the last 2 times I've eaten out the automatic tip calculation was done on the post-tax amount. I live in Alameda county where the sales tax is over 10%, so this is a big difference. Not only that, the default tip options were something like 18, 20, and 25%.

The only reason I can see for restaurants to do this is that the minimum wage here is $15/hour, and if tips alone don't make that rate, the restaurant pays out of pocket because it is illegal for them to pay below minimum wage. This seems like yet another example of restaurant owners passing higher labor costs onto customers in a less than ethical way.

Has anyone else noticed a similar practice?
> just a recognition of fact

It's literally not a fact, it's an opinion.

Hey what's your job? You don't need to tell me. But I'm gonna go ahead and say you're privileged compared to a rural chinese farmer that has never held a phone.
I assume you must be pretty low to be able to ping a 4g tower. Is it impossible that the guy would have jumped from the plane with a parachute? Then he would have run with the insurance money.
Basically I want to know what the magic looked like that took it from a distinction between two things, and the (apparent, pseudo-) understanding that it understands itself to be one of those two things. Self and other. Do you follow?
One could just as easily say the same for working class folks that continue to buy into the myth sold by MAGA populists in the US.

To me it hinges on the following:

“Throughout his text, Valtin emphasizes, as he does with the Hamburg example, the contrast between the movement’s rank and file and its leadership. The former are often described as heroic, long-suffering idealists. The latter, in his telling, are self-interested, vainglorious despots-in-waiting.”

It’s just that being among the former group, usually blinds you to the latter group, because those folks are initially viewed as being part of the former group too. It takes LOTS of convincing for idealistic people to wake up to the fact that they’ve been played. Irrespective of the ideology.

EDITED to correct auto-correct. Honestly, I don’t know why I bother posting from my phone.
> …it will get repeated by less capable viewers in uncontrolled environments.

Maybe.

I dunno, I’ve been active in underground chemistry forums for 15 years at this point, and the thing it drove home to me is that 99.9% of the people on there are armchair chemists, and only a tiny fraction actually do any home chemistry.

It’s all exciting to read about and watch, but for the most part people steer clear (for sane, good reasons). I can’t imagine this will be any different, same with NileRed, same with Explosions and Fire.

Agreed on the need to phase out chlorinated solvents, but again I’m much more worried about Joe Blow buying DCM paint stripper from the hardware store and not understand what it is than I am someone who does know what it is watching someone else synthesise chloroform.
Amazon Pay *NOW* is just a customer-facing service, but originally it was envisioned as a PayPal/Stripe type service for transferring money. It has evolved greatly over the years, and in the years before Stripe was even founded it was attempting to compete with PayPal (and ultimately what ended up being Stripe as well).

For example, here is the original press release for FPS: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2007/08/02/amazon...

I do see the Amazon Pay evolution (especially this expanded partnership with Stripe) as a distinct failure to capture the payment market.
Apparently a nuclear drive could half the transit time to Mars for astronauts, which has the additional benefit of less hard radiation exposure (assuming the nuclear reactor doesn't have any issues in transit).

There were projects to develop nuclear thermal designs at the Nevada Test Site (Area 25, 'Jackass Flats') run by Los Alamos, 1955-1973. They had three designs (Kiwi, Phoebee, Pewee), all using highly-enriched uranium (bomb grade, as with nuclear engine reactors). I think these have longer lifetimes and are more efficient, but the new NASA report makes a point of using low-enriched designs this time around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Rover

I can't imagine it would be plausible to launch something like that without first testing it at a DOE/NNSA facility of some kind however, which might be a little problematic, as blowing up a nuclear reactor during a rocket test would be bad optics.
Yeah, but this is literally a rich-get-richer kind of thing. Labor doesn't have that privilege.
The OP is about a security update for a 10-year-old phone. Mandating security updates for 5-year-old phones would have absolutely no effect.
How public policy can help save local news
An ad is useful to me as soon as they told both good and bad things about their products. But in reality , it's not. It's almost the same as lie, until you fall into the traps.

3G: 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1,700 MHz, 1,900 MHz and 2,100 MHz bands.

4G: 600 MHz, 700 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, and 2500 MHz, bands.

5G: 24 GHz up to 54 GHz.

Sure, it's an eventuality. But in the near term, is 6g really going to use 900MHz?
