They look stylistically realistic, but are indeed unnatural and easy to spot as fake. It's probably just that picking up on the clues depends on how attentive you are to what details in face.

Where I live does, I once accidentally booked a smoking room and I could not sleep at all. It felt like I was burning my esophagus.

> California’s decline, then, flows from the same forces that destroy all once-great civilizations. It became decadent and nihilistic, escapist and intoxicated.

OK, had to fast-forward a bit before reading, to see if I could look forward to one of these articles. The bingo card almost scratches itself...

> If California were to deal with homeless addicts and untreated mental illness on a statewide level, as in Massachusetts

Hasn't California started working on this at the state level now with CARE? There's no mention of it in the article.

> If the state allowed parents to choose the best schools for their children and injected competition into school administration, student performance would undoubtedly improve.

Why does this increasingly sound like one of those libertarian blogs from the 2010s?

It also seems like a lot of the problems, possibly most of the problems, described here are well embedded all over the US, into Canada, easily located in Europe, and so on. But I'd hate to hand-wave everything like the author of the article.

Egypt has ~100 million people, the vast majority of whom are going to be native Arabic speakers. Algeria, Sudan, and Iraq also have ~40 million people each, again, most of whom are native Arabic speakers (of different varieties). Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen are no slouches either. In short 300 million native speakers of various Arabic languages is extremely plausible.

FWIW, the usual estimate for worldwide adherents to Islam is ~1 billion.
Indeed you aren't wise. :)
I only "singled out" conservatives because I was replying to a comment that specifically mentioned conservatives. I didn't think it would be relevant or useful to generalize or list the stereotypical flaws of every political belief system.

I'm really struggling to follow what you're trying to say in your second point. Honestly, if I'm hanging out with a friend of my wife and she starts going into "racially superior" traits of whites vs blacks - I'm going to either look to change the conversation or excuse myself to grab a beer because that's a strangely detailed and long example to get into.

We are so close to this reality. I made this TikTok video through a workflow of Stable Diffusion (Python), DeepCQ/Finclout, ElevnLabs, and Di-D. And if I with my limited ability can reach this level, someone with more able hands (and budget) can reach much higher levels of reality. Social as we know it is dead.
But then, if you look at TikTok it boils down to Boobs, Quizzes, and Twitter screenshots.

The scientists said it wasn't a lab leak. The science, from the very start, could have been interpreted either way.

In fact the only real evidence, and all of it tenuous and circumstantial, is in support of a lab leak. There is actually not a single piece of direct evidence AFAIK for zoonotic origin, except that that route is possible (ie no mutations that would be impossible naturally, etc) and the overwhelmingly usual route for novel pathogens.

> The type of spaghetti code "goto considered harmful" was reacting to is basically impossible to create anymore, so anyone who didn't work on that type of code in the 80s or earlier probably hasn't seen it.

Its still quite possible in assembly, where goto (JMP) is your only way to do control flow. But I doubt there's many people left who write and maintain large assembly programs. I imagine most programmers reach for C or something higher level as soon as the program becomes non-trivial.

I still use this cute online Intel 4004 simulator sometimes when I teach programming:

http://e4004.szyc.org/

Its a fun challenge for novice or advanced programmers alike to write little programs in assembly for a CPU from 1971. The assembly language[1] is only 45 commands, and you only need a handful of them anyway. The CPU interpreter is simple enough you can literally see it think.

If it’s NP it’s polynomially reducible to SAT. There are problems that do not admit a polynomial reduction to SAT, but by Cook-Levin they’re not in NP.

It is of course possible to construct a problem that will require strictly more steps than the most efficient algorithm for SAT; for example, we could give a language SAT-PRIME = {<φ,n>: φ is satisfiable and n is prime>, which will take longer to decide than SAT. (Primality can be checked by the Agrawal–Kayal–Saxena test in polynomial time.) But note that SAT-PRIME is polynomially reducible to SAT, so on the notion of hardness as given by polynomial reducibility, it is in fact just as hard.

Of course, there are other notions of hardness, but the question is whether those notions are actually useful. Not really, in this case. P is closed under many things; in particular, it is self-low—i.e., L ∈ P just in case L ∈ P^P, where A^B = {L: L is decidable in time A with access to an oracle for B deciding instances of B in one step}. Now being a bit more fine-grained is useful for problems we know to be in P—for example, the recent result on max flow.⁰ But when we’re dealing with exponential-time best-known worst-case complexities (which is the case for all NP-hard problems, since we have no proof yet that P = NP), plonking on a polynomial doesn’t seem so bad.

My entire life, east coast and west coast, I heard gossip and fact-lists insisting that California is an unlivable disaster and that everyone is leaving. One of these times, they're sure to be right I guess.
Interesting. I bet close to all young skinny people with sleep apnea must remain undiagnosed.

My generalist doc basically said "if you really insist we can do a polysomnography, but I'm pretty sure you don't have it, you're young, skinny and sporty. There isn't really much that helps that you can do about it anyway".

I did insist and it turned out that I do have it. The changes in life I experienced are similar to yours. The doc's advice was double wrong in my case.

Some other interesting thing I noticed: there seems to be something messed up about medical diagnosis equipment. At least in sleep apnea.

I've done about 5 "sleep tests" in different countries with different equipment and the results varied between 0, a few 5-6 and one with 15 events per hour (no apnea, mild apnea and "medium"? apnea). The 0 to 6 where with portable "take home" devices, the 15 was a more serious feeling expensive looking in-hospital device with tons of wiring all over the body.

So in short: the same patient can be cured and pretty severly suffering at the same time?!

I'm not sure what's going on there but it smells like corruption in medical devices like that one Netflix documentary talks about. It was an episode of "dirty money" if I remember correctly.
I don't use GitLab that often, but I've never had any issue with it. I'm rarely if ever logged into my account when I stumble there. Latest was yesterday morning.

This one time, a colleague of mine was working from home and we had a meeting and when I joined the video call I thought that we had someone new joining the meeting... except when my other colleague said "Hi [HER_NAME]" and I realized who it was. I was shocked that it was the same person.

What beauty filters do can be done using make up... except make up is more deceiving because since we see it in front of our eyes, we are more likely to believe it.

My faves are (were) the earthiest beans with the darkest roast: sidamo, harrar, sumatra.

If you don't like their dark roast, maybe choose one of the "blond" roasts, like Veranda.

Or pick a Central American varietal, like Guatemala. Back in the day, Panama was the coffee snob's #1 pick.

Medium roast Pike Place Blend is okay. I recall liking the Christmas blend.

Just from their web page, looks like they now sell fewer varietals. Oh well. I guess it was inevitable. https://www.starbucks.com/menu/at-home-coffee/whole-bean

Makes sense though. Supply and logistics for niche beans is challenging at their volume.

Small roasters (Herkimer, Lighthouse, etc, etc) can pick the best 500 lbs of beans and roast them to perfection.

Whereas Starbucks buys millions of pounds, of varying quality, and tries to get all the batches to taste about the same. That's why they have blends and roast darker.

Sure, hiding in those million of pounds are some amazing beans. But they all go into the machine just the same.
People will DMCA anything. If some copyright monopolist gets offended by something on the internet it will get DMCA'd out of existence. Whether it's actually fair, just or even legal has no bearing whatsoever. They face no punishment for infringing other people's rights with frivolous claims because you'd have to prove they deliberately acted in bad faith and even that would require people to hire expensive lawyers to do it. In other words, they can leverage the justice system to arbitrarily silence others and then hide behind incompetentence and indiscrimination as an excuse.

Another challenge for representing Arabic a display made of line segments is all the curves. If it weren't for the dots, I imagine you could write consonant-only Arabic on something close to a seven-segment display, although it would look bizarre because all the letters would be isolated and there would be so many more straight line segments than in normal Arabic script. (An absolute majority of the isolated forms of Arabic letters are made up only of curves, whereas an absolute majority of Latin capital letters are made up only of straight line segments!)

I wonder how Arabic ended up with characters that differ only by dot positioning (like ب ت ث, and also ن whose combining form is especially similar to the combining forms of those). By contrast, the most similar Latin characters might be EF / CG / IJ / MN / UV which I think are clearly more different than the Arabic characters that differ only by dot quantity and positioning.

(The Il1| are also famously confusable in some Latin fonts, but one could say having to worry about these comes late in the history of Latin script writing. Although the scribal minim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minim_(palaeography) used at some points to write u, i, m, and n is every bit as confusing as any Arabic character.)

But don’t wait till it’s too late. Prioritize these small changes little by little.

On IRC/AOL, you don’t see a face. But still, probably some real person did write what you read.

Until a few years ago, if I looked at the FB/IG/anything from a random person, I would assume most photos to be real, and most text to be really written by them. You could edit some photos and have some content ghost written, not everything.

Now a random person can fake everything. Would you still follow that “person”?

Norway to Faroe Isles and Faroe to Iceland are about the same distance individually as the electrical links between the UK and Norway and UK and Denmark, so I don't see why not.

> This is about as far from antitrust you can get.

Not really, no.

No DMCA notice is posted, its simply a vague you broke our ToS but we're not going to tell you how or why so you can correct it according to the mods, and then the non-response for 9 days.

Github owns Microsoft, Microsoft has an interest in Content, IPTV like many other technologies can potentially be used by people and businesses for a wide variety of legal uses.

If a business closes an account for cause, you say why, you allow access to the maintainers to migrate (if its not a legal issue), and you keep the account closed.

If you don't say why, block access immediately, and don't provide a legitimate reason, you could be in violation of the Sherman act either directly, or more often via third-party liability when it comes to open source.

I'm not a lawyer, but I know that much, its far from clear that its not antitrust, and on a more personal note, you should be more careful with those snipes. Its against the HN ToS after all.
I'm feeling very raw about all this. I feel I need to call all that comes this app what it is: an attack on our country via its young people.

An attempt to turn the West's teenagers, especially women, into unserious and manipulable adults. In America, a non-immigrant teenager has little chance to graduate high school knowing the laws of electromagnetism, or other valuable scientific and engineering knowledge necessary for society to face its challenges. Instead, they have every chance to learn all sorts of modern inventions: genders, ever more contrived notions or identity, social justice shibboleths, etc..

The result is an American public that is profoundly unserious in its approach to the world. Factually, they rely of foreign migration to sustain their core functions: healthcare, etc... They don't solve their problems at home.

When I see TikTok I see an act of hybrid warfare. I see foreign aggression against America, no different than if that power introduced a powerful synthetic opioid into the country. Flat-out aggression isn't acceptable, so they strike at us indirectly while maintaining plausible deniability. The advertising on TikTok is valuable, so many influential individuals in business will look the other way.

Only a week ago the media were up in arms about the "revelation" that 30% of teenage girls now state they consider suicide, and a 36% increase in reported feelings of hopelessness since 2011. If politicians do not speak the truth in plain terms, truly I can only consider them traitors, and jointly responsible for the additional deaths that result.

This aggression doesn't go unnoticed!
These runners run fast enough that much like cyclists, they get a benefit from following in the aerodynamic drag of another competitor.

Unless there is a pacer none of the runners really want to be in front and eating all the aerodynamic drag. So the race slows down. This greatly favours runners with a faster sprint at the end.

I recommend editing your post to clarify.
Sleep Apnea has f'd up the last ten years of my life. Like many, it happened so gradually that I didn't notice until I was stuck in a vicious depressive loop that wrecked my health. If I hadn't had heard of sleep apnea through a podcast of all things I probably wouldn't have ever figured it out. I was apparently the worst case they've seen in a young patient at that office. It's taken two years for me to recover, and I'm still left with a lot of the damage I did to myself.

So if you're tired all the time, or you're a 'heavy snorer', or you're falling asleep during your morning routine, or wake up feeling like your drunk, get tested! They have at home test for it, it's not that bad.
Other than disagreeing with your take on relationships with medical practitioners, this is an excellent, well written comment. There are support groups for the family of cancer patients specifically because health is intertwined with how people live.

Creating some kind of regular time to process this long journey, however that works best into the day to day, may help set the stage for the next act.
