This is exactly why I advocate for less breadth and more depth starting from high school. I really didn’t need literature, history, or art. I knew I was more of a math and science person early on. Why do kids need to be so well rounded when they already have a bias towards certain fields? Lets let them focus on what they are good at, and give them a little more free time on their hands.
Or we disallow its use so it can’t be prescribed and instead the Dr gives them Paxlovid.

I understand that, but these devices, how will they access the "internet"? They need to talk to a router or other device that is then connected to the internet. What protocol would they use to connect? Or is this for just "near-me area networks" that need to communicate with each other? I never really considered key fobs or pacemakers as IoT devices because they don't actually connect to the internet.
What is your concern about recycling epoxy from turbine blades if any?
If not, I suggest your rant was merely tangential to the word "landfill".
Setting stuff up in order to have fun with it and learn is always worth it. It's "always" worth it to use overkill on a personal project.

Of course you don't need that k8s cluster and of course you shouldn't really use pis. But it'll be fun. You could also just use 10 vms running on your computer and each vm is one node in the k8s cluster if you don't want to buy hardware. Then you see what happens when "hardware failure" occurs. I.e. you kill a vm without shutting it down properly. Or yank the power on one of the pis.

The point is, once you need it for a real project now you know how it works and when to actually use it and when not to. Heck all the stuff I set up on my single old 200MHz system, no vms nothing taught me basically everything I needed to become an actual sys/network admin later.
> I sincerely mean it when I say that life used to better.

If there is anything I’ve learned in my old age, it’s that things were not better in the past. And while I don’t accept Steven Pinker’s optimistic claims about the fruits of progress as much as other people do, I think he makes a good baseline argument regarding how much progress we have made over the last century. It’s just that we have so much farther to go and that seems overwhelming at times, at least to me.

There’s a common cognitive bias known as nostalgia or rosy retrospection that makes people think the past was better, as well as any number of psych studies showing how this works and why people do it. The most common example is of a parent who only remembers the good times while their children remember the bad. I won’t bore you with the details, but you can look into this phenomenon for yourself.

With that said, you have listed some legitimate complaints about negative societal changes that have occurred over the last thirty years. That doesn’t mean or imply that everything was better in the past, but it would be accurate to say that some things have gotten worse while other things have gotten better, but mostly, humanity has achieved some measure of progress that makes even the most recent past look barbaric, IMO.

We have this idea in our head that progress and advancement and the uplifting of humanity (and its relationship with nature) should be neat and orderly, when in reality it’s extremely messy, gruesome, and violent, much like the labor pains of a woman giving birth.

If you were an alien and had never seen a human giving birth, you might think the mother to be was being attacked or suffering from a disease. I think progress is a little bit like that. Its appearance looks like chaos and suffering and pain, but the end result is a new form of life, a new form of living. That’s what we are experiencing.

I personally believe it is a dangerous error to believe the past was better, because it prevents people from looking towards a better future, as they seek to repeat the same mistakes from the past, over and over again, endlessly seeking a Golden Age that never was.

The other problem with looking in the rear view mirror, is that you neglect working to improve the present, which inevitably informs all future progress. If we are looking backwards, then we are neglecting the present and its subsequent future, so we have to be wary and cautious about people who tell us that things were better in the past, as it tends to impose a false historical mythology on the past, present, and future, disrupting the timeline of progress in all directions.
This is tautological. Death threats are illegal speech because we decided to make it illegal speech. Something we could do for other types of speech.
The only people today who see others as less than human are the same people who falsely demonize others as racists. The whole point of demonization is to enable you to view your opponent, not as a human, but as a demon. The evidence can't be any more obvious.
The value of the video (and by extension, the article) was pretty much completely nullified when the guy filtered to just DNS queries.. How is that useful to show us? The only thing we learn is that the OS is resolving some domain names - it doesn't show how/if those domains are actually being connected to. I'm all for proving privacy-invading features of OSes, but like, maybe we could see something with substance?

This is disingenuous. I've been exposed to alternative viewpoints, saw what I consider obvious holes, and either expressed disagreement or disregarded them entirely. If someone can convincingly (from my perspective, not theirs) illustrate a flaw in my reasoning at that point I have changed my mind by definition of it being convincing.

When people say thing like "other people aren't interested in changing their minds" what they really mean is "other people didn't find my arguments convincing".

In this case there is a much more effective drug available—-Paxlovid.
Because it is almost certainly confusing Glyphosate, a herbicide, whose only demonstrated effect in animals is to cause cancer in cancer prone rats when administered in large doses, to Neonicotinoids which are a pesticide targeting insects that has had a devastating effect on bees.

Since people know about it, and turn it on only when they want to use it, it's not a problem.

Had the move to the m68020 and m68030 included mandatory memory management, then old tasks could've all been run in the first 16 megs and clean apps run anywhere else. It's a shame Apple didn't do this.

Since this is now a documented feature of the CPU, processes can have up to 65,536 terabytes of usable memory and still use this. If they need more than 65,536 terabytes of memory, they can simply not use this feature :)

My concern with Keybase isn't solely that updates have slowed down, it's that the app has been broken on Android 13 since it came out.

Based on their github issues and PRs, it looks like all they have to do to fix it is upgrade their version of react. The fact that they haven't done that yet is what tells me the app is dead.

+1 to the above. the strangest thing about meditation, in my experience, is there's a state that's sometimes available in which every moment is truly novel and surprising.

I read (once, somewhere??) that some lifetime meditators put under FMRI often have the signature activation pattern that in the rest of us basically happens when we're about to say "Oh wow, look at that!" (i.e., excited by novelty) So I'm a little captivated by the idea that part of the nature of these states called "liberation" and "enlightenment" is an unending feeling of amused and interested novelty. In the literature they'll talk about "the freshness of every moment" and other similar phrases, so it seems to really be part of the sales pitch and goal.

For me it wears off pretty fast, and isn't always available. :) But definitely it's one of the things that keeps me coming back to the cushion, because ... yeah, you said it :)
Sorry, but saying I don't trust your paragraph of claims because I know at least one of those claims is grotesque and false doesn't shut down debate. More importantly, the point needs to be expressed. No one should get away with a statement like that unquestioned.

Riiiiight, because racism doesn't exist any more, now that we've had a black president (even though he was born in Kenya, as our orange president went to so much effort and expense to made sure everyone believes).

>"America is one of the least racist places overall in recorded history." -PathOfEclipse

And then you went on to demonize your opponent (without even having your own facts straight), which is just fine for you to do apparently, just nobody else:

>"It is still a very evil thing to defame someone with such a horrible accusation when you couldn't even be bothered to take two minutes to get your facts straight! ... which is even more evil ... significant evil in my book ..." -PathOfEclipse

Now that America's racism problem has been solved, is that why you put so much time and energy and commitment into fighting so hard against reverse racism, by linking to the writings of Thomas Sowell, who has literally claimed that Black Americans were better off during slavery than they are today, and has defended Trump against charges of racism?

Are you also a huge Kanye fan, too? Obviously we no longer live in a racist society, now that black people can love Hitler, and Trump owns his very own black friend who he invites to Thanksgiving dinner along with his Neo-Nazi White Supremacist friend. The Great American Melting Pot.
> What role does JKRs crusade against the trans community have to do with politics? Does she hold office or set policy?

Her "crusade" is about who can make decisions in society, i.e. control what others do, which is what politics is. Formal political structures are not the only venue through which it happens.

IMO any sort of change will eventually become assimilated into The Loop.

The trick I think is to do things/hobbies/work in a way where you are always in the process becoming someone else vs incremental improvements on on an existing identity.

Even if the improvements compound exponentially, or the identity is something meta like "lifelong learner", the feeling of stagnating within a loop always sets in after a while.

However the willingness to become "someone else" means that the underlying value system of what is sacred/profane is never set in stone. Each experience of novelty becomes more than stimulation that the identity consumes but a possibility of seeing life in a new way.

Paxlovid apparently has interactions with a large number of relatively common medications, Molnupiravir does not (and one would hope it is only being used in cases where paxlovid is unavailable).
To me it's more about rethinking how I do things I already enjoy rather than discovering new activities that I might like. To give you some examples. I enjoy reading but I've realized that most of the books I read are politics/economics related so I've decided to pick up some fiction. It was like discovering reading all over again, very refreshing. I like playing video games (usually FPS, all by myself), however, recently I've started to play a few rounds of some couch co-op games with my SO. It's amazing. Most fun I've had in a long time.
> So what they are doing now is putting plastic waste into PLASTIC ROADS, and calling this "recycling".

As a pro-conservation minded person I'm in sympathy with this viewpoint, a concentrated landfill could be less damage than an expanse of plastic in roads. But the article is suggesting an economical circular reuse:

> The newly discovered chemical process shows that epoxy-based turbine blades, whether in operation or sitting in landfill, can be turned into a source of raw material to potentially build new turbine blades
And this was known to be a problem a year ago and Merck kept pushing it forward despite its low efficacy and risk for driving mutation. Meanwhile Paxlovid is underprescribed despite its effectiveness.
Totally agreed, however...

>There are 636 drugs known to interact with Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), along with 5 disease interactions, and 2 alcohol/food interactions. Of the total drug interactions, 236 are major, 360 are moderate, and 40 are minor.

Of these interactions, several are with: statins, blood thinners, hormonal birth controls, and other heart medications. The exact high-risk population who is taking these drugs, have potential interactions with paxlovid. That wipes out a significant portion of the general population from eligibility.
Ha, they have since changed it to "Near the bay in Mountain View".

Clinical data supporting this EUA are based on data from 1,433 randomized subjects in the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT trial (NCT04575597). MOVe-OUT is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial studying LAGEVRIO for the treatment of non-hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who are at risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization. Eligible subjects were 18 years of age and older and had one or more pre-defined risk factors for disease progression: over 60 years of age, diabetes, obesity (BMI ≥30), chronic kidney disease, serious heart conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or active cancer.

Thank you for making MeiliSearch. I use it for a personal project that gets a few hits a day, mostly from me and my friends.

https://pulpflakes.com/fmisearch/

It's a search over an index of fiction in the English language, first published in periodicals. Searchable by author, artist, magazine name and specific issue. Biggest index has about 200K documents, doc sizes are tiny.

Integrated with my WordPress site by handwritten PHP. Which was fun.

Performance is great. I didn't run into too many issues, and those I did i could resolve. What i remember:

1. The rules for text searches are too strict by default and if the order of words is different, will result in no matches. A, B will not return a result if B A is in the database.

2. Creating an index, uploading documents and changing settings required quite a bit of work. A week's worth of coding, almost. Would have loved to have a reasonably robust shell script that could take a JSON file with metadata on index and do the grunt work.

3. I have multiple types of documents, would have liked search to cover all of them so I don't have to change search type manually each time.

4. The default number of documents and max uploaded file size is too low. 200K and 200 MB or something. But it fails even on smaller file size.

The above sound like complaints. They're problems I ran into and others might. I love how productive Meilisearch made me. Thank you.
It's going to matter who you ask, but as a foreigner you're more likely to be talking to someone (relatively well-off, educated enough to have fluent English, probably not a fan of Erdoğan) who'd have preferred it to stay Turkey.

It's just another step in the trend of undoing Atatürk's reforms that has defined the current regime. To summarize a lot of history, the foundation of modern Turkey was a pretty massive upheaval. Atatürk (the first president of Turkey, and is viewed pretty similarly to the US's founding fathers) worked pretty damn hard to drag the country away from its Ottoman roots and towards being a Western, secular, country. Under the Ottomans, the head of church and head of state were the same person, under Atatürk, church and state were separated. Atatürk's government outright banned the wear of most religious garb in public, such as fez's and headscarves. Women were given full rights. The entire alphabet was changed from an Arabic script to a Latin one. And these are just the big ones I can pull off the top of my head.

Basically, imagine if George Washington had banned crucifixes from being displayed in public and switched the US's alphabet to Cyrillic.

It is impossible to overstate how radical these reforms were, and most were intended to bring Turkey closer to Europe both economically and culturally. The following 85 years of Turkey's history, up to the modern day, has been marked by tensions between those that generally like the reforms, and would like to see Turkey continue towards being a well-respected member of the West, and the conservative faction who want Turkey to backslide into an Islamic theocracy.

The name change is one of many postures Erdoğan has taken to distance himself from the former group, and amounts to a dog-whistle for the second.

TL;DR: It's whole fucking can of worms.

Well, unless I'm missing something, DNS lookups are of zero consequence, no? The ISP's domain name server returns an IP for the domain name lookup, and then what?
