> I would have thought anything that can radiate heat slowly and consistently would by necessity also absorb heat slowly and consistently

Something like a ratio of flame-side heat absorption at flame temperatures, to room-side emissivity at room-side temperatures(wavelengths)?? This could fall out from material properties without appearing as an explicit design detail (e.g. a surface treatment).
Some variation or piece of GNU/Linux is running on the vast majority of computing devices on the planet. One could argue it and its core philosophies have enabled most of the tech industry in part by being free. If that's not winning, I don't know what is. No one has starry eyes about it because people aren't making out like bandits being gate keepers to the tech. It's free, it's open. It's so free and ubiquitous that it's not even considered. It's just a bedrock tool. Like the hammer, or a fire. Has fire "lost" because it has a low market value?

Regarding crypto use cases, while they're obviously still being explored, the core features remain:

opt-in, democratizing, privacy preserving, data protecting, open, transparent, auditable, provable, p2p, cheap

These are things you get when you use an open platform like, say, Ethereum, or whatever next iteration.

"The average person," whatever that means on a planet of 8 billion, may not need these things among stable, prosperous governments, with low corruption, upstanding law enforcement, and equal protection under the law, but anyone who lives outside those golden scenarios, either today or in the future, might desire such features. They might even help them survive.
This is a common problem with companies, or even small organization that sells something. They think if they have less subscribers, they should increase the price to spare the lost income, when they should do the opposite. If lowering the prices still didn't work, there is something else.
It's not a near majority. Only 26% responded "no" (likely due to being mired in the media furor over this meme), another 21% responded "not sure", which is probably the basic human response when you think "what kind of stupid question is that?!". If someone asked me "is it okay to be white?", my first thought would be that they are trying to sell me something, or simply up to no good.
To make it Russia. To expand wherever and as far as possible. Ideally at least up to eastern Germany as it belonged to them when Putin was young and worked there.

What do you mean? Wireless cards on PCs are dirt cheap and have fantastic forwards-compatibility with future OS releases. There's no reason mobile network cards should be any different.

> you still need a separate packaged image per phone model

Only if you insist on packaging the image yourself. If you don't lock bootloaders and provide API/ABI documentation on how to interact with your hardware (through a binary blob if necessary), the community will often do the rest.

The Android update dumpster fire is a self-inflicted problem.
Interesting presentation, thanks. That problem with compilation of conditional statements makes me suspect that older languages didn't have first-class Boolean values but restricted Boolean expressions to only appear as tests for conditional/looping constructs exactly because of it.
And through their responses, they are advancing said white-supremacists' goals of making them look like anti-white racists. They know this, yet do it anyway. Like I said, it's incredibly stupid and counter-productive. They know it's bait, but they're eating it up anyway.
This appears very insightful, but I can't grok the differences. Got an explainer handy that I and others might start with?
This is actually not true. Look at the following constellation:

A--1--B--2--C

Imagine 1 and 2 are satellites and observer B launches a rocket at both of them at the same time. From B's perspective, both satellites explode at the same time.

A, however, will see 1 explode before 2. C, on the other hand, will see the reverse, that 2 explodes first.

There's no right ordering here, just different reference frames.
Metformin is suspected to act like a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, at least under certain conditions. If so, there may be a risk of it causing progressive supranuclear palsy if taken in high doses or long term. If you have diabetes the risk is probably worth it, but if you’re already healthy then taking it for longevity reasons seems more dubious.

It wouldn’t surprise me if in a couple decades some non-trivial percentage of the folks using it for longevity end up with PSP, which is a fatal and untraceable disease.

The Fed is in charge of general inflation.

The Agriculture department is responsible for eggs, corn and food.

The Department of Energy is responsible for oil, nuclear, and solar.

Housing and Urban development is responsible for housing.

The Fed is responsible for the stability of the dollar.

If there is a specific field that's doing poorly, we focus on that. We're looking at the Fed because we think the general dollar is devaluing too quickly, which is absolutely the Feds job to fix.
KDE is much more glitchy compared to GNOME and many other DEs in my experience (but it also has way more features, so that kind of makes sense). Many users don't care about most of those features, so taking the more stable option makes sense.

There also still are big issues in KDE that "just work" on basically every other system (including Windows and macOS). KIO, Akonadi and Baloo come to mind immediately - all great ideas that in reality never really work.

(I say this as someone who daily drives KDE on both Wayland and X11 - to me, the features are certainly worth dealing with the issues)
Ethinc minority being there does not entitle Russia to take land or try to impose own rule.

If it did, only logical reaction would be to deport all Russians from everywhere abroad.

> But the normal approach...

Says who? You're getting software for free, from someone who is not beholden to you for anything. Either you accept it as it is, or you fix it; that's the nature of open source. Whining about it on the internet is rude and disrespectful.

If you can't be bothered, and want all this stuff included, or at the very least recommended or installed automatically on the side, switch to something else that does that for you.

The alternative to taking a piece of open source as-is isn't "complain to the maintainer until they fulfill your wishes". That kind of thing is why open source maintainers burn out. You are not entitled to anything from them; the alternative is that the software doesn't exist at all.
Though I'm not a Rust fanatic, I will say that spending time programming in Rust has made me a better C++ programmer.
I wouldn't be so generous. Slowing down the phone without any notification is a major problem. Had they added a notification this was happening, there would be no problems at all.

Of course, adding such a notification would've prompted many users to seek out battery replacements (and a lot of non-Apple-authorized repair shops would've been happy to meet this demand) and give a new life to their devices, where as silently slowing down their device would prompt those users to eventually upgrade once they get tired of it.
Author here. Yes, the scheme requires whole-program compilation, which is unfortunate. If you’re okay with statically-linked dependencies there is only the large problem of making a compiler that is adept to incremental re-compilation. However, any monomorphizing compiler faces such a challenge, so the problem is not unique.
But it is possible to get a stack overflow error when using recursion to implement tree traversal if the depth of the tree is too large or if the recursion is not properly managed.

Implementing tree traversal iteratively can help avoid that because it does not rely on recursive function calls that can build up on the call stack. Instead, an iterative approach uses an explicit data structure (such as a stack or queue).
Good to know, and I always appreciate and respect people bringing statistics and citations - but this in no way refutes my core point that it is always reasonable to assume that Facebook will act unethically based on their past behaviour.

You've provided a strong datapoint indicating that the training sources in question were ethically sourced* - that's good! I'm glad to hear that Facebook avoided _this specific way of acting unethically_. This does not affect in any way my judgement of the likelihood of Facebook acting in _other_ unethical ways in this area, such as using the collected data in unethical ways.

* I don't, personally, hold the opinion that "just because something was posted publicly means that it is ethically permissible to do _anything_ with that content", since it's unreasonable to believe that the average internet user is giving informed consent to uses like this - but I do concede that that's a more subjective perspective and is probably not supported by the letter of the law. Luckily, this isn't relevant to my argument.

As an aside - I clicked around in a few pages on CommonCrawl's site (https://commoncrawl.org/big-picture/what-we-do/, https://commoncrawl.org/big-picture/frequently-asked-questio..., https://commoncrawl.org/the-data/get-started/) and didn't see any statement to the effect that social media posts were excluded, and a Google search for "Does CommonCrawl index social media" didn't provide a definitive answer, either. You're under no obligation to prove it to me - and, as I detailed above, even if you did, it wouldn't affect my general distrust of Facebook.

So? How ethnic Russians anywhere entitle Russia to invade exactly? And what do you think would happened to minorities everywhere if that logic would be bought?
If I ask ChatGPT how transformers work the results are sufficient but brief. It’s difficult to probe ChatGPT, and it doesn’t have an intuition for your weak points like a tutor does. If I ask ChatGPT about who influenced John Maynard Keynes however it will hallucinate a whole corpus of economists and papers that never existed but whose existence is proposed so confidently it is incredulous.

Mainly we should appreciate the dearth of capabilities that arise merely as emergent properties of ever larger language models. Some kind of architecture will be needed for each use case, which means we once again find ourselves facing difficult engineering problems.
Oh, so you have to hook it up to a js plotting library then? Still seems cool, I knew SymPy could emit LaTeX but I didn’t know it could do js too
>nothing you've said makes it seem like you are reasonably assessing any of this.

What's to square?

I don't think this is accurate - at least not anymore. VS Code supports LSP configuration which means all those features should be available.

That said - I haven't used it in years. Way too heavy and Vim does all of those + modal editing.
It's a good idea but most debuggers I'm confronted with don't support it (i.e. only their future versions support it).
Would be really nice if maybe the “conservatives” would one day advance an actual conservative solution like incentivizing the creation and stability of black families.

Redis might have a nicer API but the ops of maintaining another service is not simpler than just using ETS that is built in the platform.

I'd rather choose Redis only iff I hit the limits of ETS. And 99% of apps won't even get to that point.
Thinking outside the box sounds like coming up with new ways of doing things or being creative. I don't see how this is related to conspiracy theories, people are just mostly just hearing them from other people

All the embedding-enabled GPT-3 apps I've seen do the following: User query -> Retrieve closest embedding's plaintext counterpart -> feed plaintext as context to GPT-3 prompt.
But they aren't being "shredded and chemically decomposed" - they're being sent as "second-hand stuff" where the good items are reused, but the others are dumped or burned, and nothing is actually recycled. And of course, the reused ones are also dumped or burned, just later.
Well, it is stable actually. Pretty disgusting stability, but like, you can't say it is unstable.
it is a core driver of compounding inequity, assuming the rich can afford personal tuition and the poor cannot, which then gives rich kids access to better opportunities to continue being rich. it gives the lie to “equality of opportunity not equality of outcome” because any game of consequence involves outcome being exclusive opportunity.

For consumers, it was BBS's where you had to download them first or Compuserve-like services with their own apps and capabilities. IIRC GIF was born from one of the proprietary services. AOL introduced me to the wider Internet--and its graphics and markup--not long after '93. Then stand alone ISPs grew in popularity.
Data Science and LLM (LLaMA vs. GPT-3): A Revolution That Will Change the World
training the GPT-3 175B model required 3.2 million core hours spread across 285,000 processor cores over several months. It is projected that the overall cost of training the model will be roughly $4.6 million.
it could also easily be a chinese operation funded by triads (they are extremily huge and tolerated from the CCP) and/or "dark" chinese political factions operating from NK sharing loot with the Kims. Even if they take all their gifted kids and put them in special academis could they create the enviroment where the necessary critical thinking is developed?

Apple didn't get the memo with their nerdy prefix.
It's completely different. The only similarity is that a standard deviation is involved.
Yeah - to each their own. I have all these tools in my terminal too. I'm just a lot faster in the terminal, and I don't really think it's possible to be faster in a GUI (even if there are shortcuts - there will surely be shortcomings before you eventually just re-invent a terminal via VSCode).

Plus - modal editing :)
Do you think these shoes all end up being recycled in the end?

If not, they're not doing the right thing. It's only good to do it in that order if all steps are followed. It's not "reduce, barely reuse, discard in a landfill or river in east asia".
It wasn't even 2 weeks ago that HN users were arguing we are

I sit somewhere between the despondent nihilism and the blithe optimism. We owe it to everyone, present and future, to get it right.
Well I agree that in many cases people "standing up" to the goverment is nothing more than a LARP and that they are smart enough to slowly boil the frog instead of pushing too hard all at once.

But still, having guns puts a good guard against extreme situations where the boiling frog tactic doesn't work so much - e.g. forceful installation of a communist dictatorship. It won't guard us against slow deterioration but it can serve as a safe guard against hostile takeovers.
Honestly I get the impression Transnistria gives lots of bad people, or good people who just like to do illegal things, plausible deniability. Moldova could retake it easy enough, but why eliminate a great smuggling route and cash haven. It would be like the US and Mexico actually trying to snuff out the cartel areas, of course they're not going to do that when it's so profitable not to.
What's that book called?
This was incredibly impressive, I just wonder how expensive it is to save everything like this, for every frame they save the code, the compiled result, the game data, the changes, and code stepping.
It takes you through the heavy lifting of writing a CHIP-8 emulator, a database and a whole bunch of things. It really feels like it could have been several books and he just had to cut back the scope of each part to fit everything in and ship it.

The great thing about that is that it leaves you with projects just begging for you to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s.
My entire hypothesis this time around is that protein is making/keeping me fat, and I went super low protein on purpose :) Of course it could also be something else. Everybody freaks out about the low protein though haha.
Agreed, and the pandemic seems like a good recent example of this.
First, thank you for your comments in this thread.

Sadly, things are worse in Canada; they won't even give us a timeline on Wegovy availability. I can only imagine what this means for everywhere else in the world.

I've been incredibly frustrated by the lack of support I've received from my slightly fat-shaming MD when it comes to being freaked out by the lack of consistent availability. I've pushed back on starting before supply chain issues are resolved, citing concerns about missing doses being worse than doing nothing at all - even before the cost factor is considered.

It really comes uncomfortably close to the moral failure side of things. "Oh, you won't even try with a reduced dosage? I guess you're not as serious as you said" type BS.
The electric version of this is called "electric thermal storage" where the electric heater is used off-peak to heat up ceramic bricks. It seems unlikely to beat a heat pump, though. Could they be combined?
Hanlon's Razor is a social policy for harmonious judgments on individuals. Uber is a company out to make money and there's no need to extend such a courtesy to them.
"Encrypting" parts also has to do with the black market for iPhones. If you steal someone's iPhone, they can brick it remotely, so you can't just resell it as a whole working device, so you part it out to a shady cell phone repair store who will reuse the parts and give you like fifty bucks so you can score your next bag of drugs. By embedding serial numbers on the parts, Apple stops this and makes the parts unusable, driving down the value of a stolen iPhone.
Yeah, and then this "enjoyment" spills into real-life widely used programs, s.a. Kubernetes. This is literally me, yesterday discovering a little "gotcha" of an L7 reverse proxy in Kubernetes:

# netstat $(hostname) 40443
Trying 10.X.X.X
Connected to hostname.foo.bar
Escape character is '^]'
...
# ss -tpln | grep 40443
#
# lsof -i :40443
#

This kind of fun makes you want to punch each individual ITF member as well as people in Kubernetes who decided it'd be cool to implement L7 proxy using DNAT.

All the sources I can find say that Enterprise G is China-only. The US Government (among others) doesn’t use it, even for classified stuff.

Telemetry is a bit of a non-issue for many national security applications-they run on special air-gapped networks with zero direct access to the public Internet, Windows can try to phone home to Microsoft all day long, it’ll never get through.

And disabling telemetry doesn’t require LTSC or Enterprise G. All Enterprise, Education and Server editions support “Diagnostic data off” telemetry level. Even if that’s not the default, most enterprises who want that will build their own install images with that setting configured.

Yea, for sure it should be possible to do it with local storage but the real cool thing would be to be able to keep state in js between live redirects. Like you said it should be possible if using live redirect. Would love that. Good luck! Hope to be able to use your library in the future.
Low carb diets seem to be a key component of curbing metabolic syndrome, but it’s really never as simple as “diet and exercise…keep doing it”. For some bodies, the amount of diet and exercise needed to avoid metabolic diseases is so high that it impedes quality of life.

Aye. Almost like we shouldn't have a conversation about Android without mentioning the spyware and telemetry that both Android and IOS collect being more than enough reason to use Purism and other open alternatives.

#stallman_was_right
I think a lot of this is the feeling that one's own case is special or that you will get a better than median outcome. I want treatment that, for median cases similar to mine, improves things with a high enough success rate and low enough side effect rate that it's not a difficult call anymore.

And if the treatment is $50k in another country there's no reason that pharmaceutical companies in the US wouldn't pursue it as a treatment, so there's not the same argument as there is with supplements where they simply don't have funded studies. They'd want to upcharge it to $500k I'm sure, but I think the profit motive would be there for them to make it available.

If there's a complex and expensive surgery that might fix a problem, I guarantee there is funding available to make sure it's actually safe and won't give me a brain infection or something. If it could be solved with supplements, the issue is that there's no one funding such research but my doctor also doesn't object to taking stuff that might work. Like curcumin and R-Lipolic acid, and have been actively told to take D3. No harm likely, probably not helping but why not?

Neither of these cases seem like they involve the FDA, so I'm just super confused. The two people replying here seem to both be under the impression that the FDA drives the profit motives for pharmaceutical companies or stop people from taking random supplements so long as they aren't known to hurt you.*

I honestly do not have a problem trusting that the FDA uses a basically reasonable process to evaluate these things, and that if the treatment was available in the US I have vastly less objection to doing it elsewhere where it costs less.

But this is just me. I've lived through flare ups, and have had this since interferon was all we had to work with. I do not think it is a good idea to assume that you are somehow going to have a better outcome than median. Once my doctor agrees my prognosis is bad enough that the median outcome of a treatment is positive, my opinion changes.

I'm a scientist, maybe other people can't think this way. I think it is a very bad idea to think you are different from average, particularly about things that are certainly out of your control. It's just... it's gambling with your health, double or nothing... but if my family and doctor think it's worth the bet it's a much simpler choice.

I would not try to override my spouse or doctor or family if they felt it was too dangerous to be worth the potential benefit, I think they are much more objective than I am.
