Your comment is just vague talking points. I see literally no one justifying poisoning the environment and the town by saying this is an acceptable cost of the free market.

Blaming MBAs for this instead of the JDs that are writing and enforcing the laws is also silly.

Finally, almost everyone from the federal down to the local is running unsustainable deficits, so there is clearly a lack of forethought in spending. I would argue we have the opposite problem you are suggesting. Everyone's happy to spend money thoughtlessly because it's someone else's money.

That one correlates with engineers in my experience. It's a precision in specification thing.

That one doesn't. That's intellectual inadequacy.

Intuition is a close approximation to making the right choice with inadequate information, aka "successful engineering".

Except they don't, which is the problem. They're leaving it to the member states, which vary greatly in enforcement, and so you can get around enforcement in one state by exporting to another state first (which is easy thanks to the low-friction shared market) before exporting to your target proxy country.

There's a reason why trade with the Russian proxies has increased by pretty much the amount that direct trade with Russia has decreased: because the enforcement of the sanctions doesn't work correctly and Europe hasn't found a single voice on it, and additionally doesn't want to bring down the hammer on anyone in order to not offend them.
I have wondered this too. What if dreams are a side-effect of a maintenance process, like if you were always kind and rewind your VHS but choose to watch them while doing so.

Also occurred to me (thanks to chatGPT) that dreams might be produced in the same way chatGPT produces narratives, by running through a series of "what is likely to be next according to my trained network" decisions

I agree with that, they sound great... The tinnitus doesnt.
I don’t know about .NET, but REPLs don’t need to have anything to do with terminals. One example of a REPL are Swift Playgrounds in XCode. Jupyter Notebooks are also a kind of REPL.

Lifelong tinnitus sufferer here. The prevailing theory (edit: this is misleading, it is not the “prevailing theory”, I typed that without thinking. It is actually a new-ish/fringe-ish alternative to the actual prevailing theory of accumulated damage to ear fibers):

The theory I subscribe to is that tinnitus is a breakdown of the ears’ and/or brain’s noise filtering and suppression mechanisms. Long-term use of white noise makes tinnitus worse, which is a particularly cruel irony since white noise also provides short term relief from tinnitus. Active noise cancelling likely shares enough properties with white noise to cause the same effect.

Some users of noise cancellation are reporting another experience, that a sudden loud noise is perceived as extraordinarily and painfully loud, to the point that even a single incident can have long-lasting effects. This is called hyperacusis, and it is highly co-prevalent with tinnitus. Essentially, every loud noise you’ve ever heard has been pre-dampened by your ears/brain’s natural noise suppression mechanisms, and in hyperacusis sometimes this dampening isn’t applied and you get the full force of the noise - meaning that noise is literally the loudest thing you’ve ever experienced (even though it is not the highest decibels you’ve ever been exposed to).

Interestingly, one treatment for tinnitus and hyperacusis I’ve had success with is listening to audio with significant instantaneous jumps and dips in volume and frequency. The suggested mechanism of action is you’re stressing your natural noise suppression and it strengthens itself in response. Similar principle to weightlifting to stress your muscles so they grow stronger in response. Perhaps active noise cancellation is causing these problems because it’s relieving the usual stresses placed on the mechanisms and thus they are atrophying.

I avoid active noise cancellation and white noise. I have found passive noise cancellation works well - ear plugs and ear muffs, basically. They have their own drawbacks as they will affect different frequencies differently, with usual speech frequencies often being the most suppressed. Thankfully, Etymotic Research (an absolutely incredible auditory-health-first audio gear company) has the excellent ER20XS and EtyPlugs designed to reduce all frequencies equally. I can’t speak highly enough of them and how much they’ve helped me with my auditory issues. https://www.etymotic.com/product/er20xs/

Most unfortunately, it seems tinnitus is highly responsive to attention: the more attention you pay to it, the worse it gets. Obsessive researching and reading about your tinnitus can and will make it worse. Sorry. Believe me I know it sucks.
I’m still stuck. Are the words in it supposed to correspond to the diagrams? I considered that perhaps I was being prompted to come up with binary representations of the diagrams but I’m not sure.
This makes it sound like the wealthy colluded against the masses, which I don't think is accurate. It's a coordination trap: each individual is doing what's in their individual best interest, but the result is collectively bad for everyone. The solution is to change the incentives, e.g. laws that make it more profitable to clean up pollution than to pollute, but it seems unattainable because a feedback loop has concentrated power in the hands of the people who are most insulated from the problems, which is sort of the opposite of the intended outcome of democracy.

The man reason I used ACN is to block the sounds and disruptions from a noisy open office floorpan at work. I wish more firms would consider giving knowledge workers their own small offices if they’re going to mandate regularly visiting an office.
I noticed some mild tinnitus I must have already had when I first tried out the ANC. It didn't take me long to acclimate and stop noticing it, but it was pretty noticeable at first
Mmh no, a company isn't the same thing as a physical person (seen as a human being, not as a single person business), for example. As such, they are threated differently.
> one in which the rules for macro systems and quantum systems are completely different and quantum systems collapse into a state consistent with the rules for macro systems when they interact with a macro system

That is wrong, quantum state collapse just makes the quantum wave take the shape of another quantum wave, nothing in it requires it to be related to macro state nonsense like pointwise particles etc. If that is the reason you don't like wavefunction collapse then you just misunderstood quantum mechanics basics, all wave function collapse is is that it is a rule for how quantum waves can transform, there is nothing about it that connects it to our macro world view.

> and one where there is only the one set of rules and no collapse.

MWI still has wave function collapse, the "we observe random part of the universe" part is the wave function collapse, that remains unexplained, why do we only see a random subset? You can't explain that. Many worlds make it harder to see that this part is unexplained, that makes it strictly worse as an interpretation in my opinion.
> I’m not sure what you mean by "Rx" in this context.

From “reactive extensions”, a name for a family of libraries[1] (RxJava, Rx.NET, RxJS), AFAIK one of the first attempted implementations of mature FRP ideas in the imperative world and one messy enough that it took React’s success for anything similar to reënter the mainstream.

Compare the enthusiastic HN reception of “Deprecating the observer pattern” in 2011[2], mostly by people who heard of FRP in the functional-language setting, and the vitriol it received in 2018[3], apparently from people for whom FRP came to mean Rx (and similarly confused things like Bacon.js). It is this vitriol that I meant to preemptively redirect by the mention of FRP ≠ Rx, so if you’re not aware of this history it’s no big loss to ignore it.

(Yes, I am very much No-True-Scotsmanning this. That should not be taken to mean that reconciling FRP with side effects is a trivial problem, though,—I’m not sure it’s even a solved one. Only that Rx and its ilk suck as a solution.)

> My background is much more in the systems (and indeed, "signals" in the theoretical sense).

> I still think the name "signal" here is quite bad, since it's the abstract concept of something-that-carries-information

I think the intention was to allude to physical wires and conceptual analog or digital things they transmit, as in “reset signal”, “differential signalling”, etc. It does seem to me to be an apt term for a (continuous-)time-dependent doodad in a program, given “variable” is taken.

Your description sounds more like the information-theoretic “channel” or “transmission medium”.

I had the same experience. Waited a couple weeks to get into the beta, tried it once and was almost immediately frustrated with its obvious limitations and the short context message limit and haven’t used it since. I don’t think I’ve ever used bing before this, so it could’ve been a huge opportunity.
liveview is similar, in spirit, to how X11 apps had a client side library and a server side library (ultimately Xlib on one end), and were connected by a socket (bidirectional) over which minimal-ish data would fly back and forth to keep the client side displaying what the server wanted, and the server aware of events from the client side.

liveview is also using a socket, whose existence springs to life via the "websockets" modernization where the client is a browser. and the traffic bidirectional over the socket again keeps the server side library aware of events, and the browser-side aware of UI alterations to display.
Not all websockets are equal. If you've ever tried PhoenixChannel + PubSub .. you will know why. Also LiveView + Presence built on top of that with all niceties. And if you have more than 1 node, these also work in distributed fashion.
I'm convinced that this is it. The DSPs and speakers aren't fast enough to instantly create a counterwave, so I guess sometimes it will amplify the external sound, even in some kind of distorted manner since even the amplification-component won't be identical to the incoming external sound.
No they are not just beefy servers. Their raw processing power is not remarkable. They are built for throughput. I/O and peripherals are handled by separate hardware so the CPU only deals with data in memory. They also have more sophisticated virtualization and scalability features than standard servers or PCs.

I recommend taking a look at https://teachaccess.org/ as a starting point. They are non profit focused on bridging the gap between accessibility and education.

I think they are mostly focused on college level exercises, but if your kids are doing coding I'd imagine their tutorials would be something to take a look at: https://teachaccess.org/initiatives/tutorial/

As a complete aside for anyone reading this post, I think of improving accessibility as the "curb-cut effect", curb cuts (those ramps on sidewalks while cross streets) were created to improve urban access for those in wheel chairs, but also make it easier to use strollers, bikes, carts, and really for everyone walking in a built environment. When we as technologists make design decisions to make things more accessible I believe we end up with better products for everyone.

> Now one question for you: I do realize the majority of humans can stand those levels of noise without earplugs and without any apparent discomfort. Do all you normies and neurotypicals simply do not have this intense pain reaction to loud noise? How the hell could you suffer through a concert so loud it gave you tinnitus without passing out from pain?

Most venues have terrible sound. This can be the result of bad acoustics, a poor quality/poorly tuned sound system, or performers who don’t know what they are doing and think loud = good sound. When I’m in one of those I have your reaction.

In venues with a well-tuned, high quality soundsystem being used properly, your ears shouldn’t hurt much.

But why run the risk of damaging your hearing? Everyone should be wearing earplugs at live events anyway.
How to Organize Your Books
Bats are vertebrates, aren't they?
I'm the exact same way. I assume our brain translates loud noises into physical side effects while normal brains just don't. Same way anxiety, or an anxiety disorder, can cause physical effects like sweating or increased heart rates when having symptoms.

Personally, I like it because I worry about hearing loss and it's a kind of protective measure, while other people don't seem to care when they're damaging their ears. I also hate it because I can look like a lunatic getting physically uncomfortable when everyone else is fine.

Yeah, I got a very early pair and they started to break down after about a month. Random pops and sharp high-pitched sounds, before eventually they stopped working at all

A few months ago I decided to see if they'd worked out the kinks and got a new pair of Gen 2 ones. Those have been working pretty much flawlessly
Whenever I find myself saying this music isn't loud enough I better turn it up, I stop and assume that actually means I need to do the opposite or turn it off.

Even moderate volume is bad over time, the louder the sound the less time your ears can be exposed to it. I wouldn't be surprised if this rule also applies to ANR.
Coming from Shopify, this feels like a ZIRP (zero interest rate project). i.e. projects that need not bear any fruit in the next many years. Snark aside, this looks very cool, and I definitely see use cases in gaming (and maybe in web home pages--assuming you could get the client to turn on the web cam for an unknown site).

In the article I see no mention of accelerometers. Can one get nearly the same effect on mobile merely using these and not using the camera?
Could this lead to a class action lawsuit?
I hope so much you're right.
The singular they is entrenched when you don't know who the person was ("I hope they realize they left their umbrella here and come back and get it.") It is not entrenched at all for referring to an individual who is standing right there.

I recall being contacted by a distressed neighbor who had been referred to as "they" in a thread on NextDoor. She has a name that could be male or female (it's short for different things), but her photo was unmistakably female. She was offended that someone referred to her as "they" and asked me if her photo looked at all male.

I would also imagine that someone who is presenting as a particular gender and wishes to be referred to as that gender could also be offended to be referred to as "they" because it could imply that the person is in-between, and not successfully presenting as their desired gender.

Lastly, people who are unaware of the changes in pronoun usage (older people, people who don't interact with people in liberal enclaves) may be confused by usage of they. They may think you're talking about multiple people, for example.
You should spend more time outside.
Oh, my apologies. I confused that with the conda --python flag. Much appreciated catching that.
Yeah true, do you think that it a realistic expectation though? I ask this given the events that have led to the leaking of the models. I am genuinely not sure what the optics / real world ramifications are of being publicly associated with projects that leverage models obtained via torrents through either hacking or negligence.

Would `screen -d -R` & al not work? From `man screen`:

-d|-D [pid.tty.host]
does not start screen, but detaches the elsewhere running screen session. It has the same effect as typing "C-a d" from screen's controlling terminal. -D is the equivalent to the power
detach key. If no session can be detached, this option is ignored. In combination with the -r/-R option more powerful effects can be achieved:

-d -r Reattach a session and if necessary detach it first.

-d -R Reattach a session and if necessary detach or even create it first.

-d -RR Reattach a session and if necessary detach or create it. Use the first session if more than one session is available.

-D -r Reattach a session. If necessary detach and logout remotely first.

-D -R Attach here and now. In detail this means: If a session is running, then reattach. If necessary detach and logout remotely first. If it was not running create it and notify the user.
This is the author's favorite.

-D -RR Attach here and now. Whatever that means, just do it.

Note: It is always a good idea to check the status of your sessions by means of "screen -list".
May be I misunderstood the article but the tmux behavior I see is slightly different.

The env vars from the shell where most recent attach happens are inherited when creating a new pane or window. This is the case even when multiple terminals are attached to the same session.

My ENT recommended white noise long term especially for sleeping which I’ve been using for months. Based on everything I’ve googled the last few months this is the first time I’m reading the claim that “ breakdown of the ears’ and/or brain’s noise filtering and suppression mechanisms.” so I’m a little skeptical in what you are saying.

My understanding is that tinnitus is the damage to the hairs in the cochlea. Which causes the audio processing nerves to have issues. Not anything to do with noise filtering.

However as I’ve been suffering from tinnitus I don’t want to discount anything you are saying. Do you manually adjust volume or are you doing something automated? How can I do the same?
lets say there was a global coalition of countries that considered the creation or advancement of AGI a material threat to the safety of all humans. this would qualify countries that do advanced AI research for retaliation from NATO or other international bodies that might be created. it is clear that AI is only able to move forward in an environment of cheap compute and international academic collaboration. progress in AI would slow to a snails pace if feature size were regulated, total compute were regulated like carbon emissions and explicit research on AI was banned. it would be an environment of very expensive compute and no mainstream research or collaboration. this would at the very least buy us massive amounts of time. can you say anything substantive to show otherwise?

lol neuromorphic revolution. thats cute.
From "Tesla Wireless and the Tunguska Explosion"[0]:

"Tesla said his transmitter could produce 100 million volts of pressure and currents up to 1000 amperes, with experimental power levels of billion or tens of billions of watts.(18) If that amount of power were released in 'an incomparably small interval of time,'(19) the energy would be equal to the explosion of millions of tons of TNT, that is, a multi-megaton explosion. Such a transmitter would be capable of projecting the force of a nuclear warhead by radio."
