How do you think a policy like that is implemented at a hospital? I can tell you what happens - HR pulls everyone into a compulsory meeting (or series of meetings). No trans people are present. The old language (“mother”) is named as trans phobic and new language (“birth parent”) is presented as company policy. The implication - explicit or implicit - is that anyone using the old language is a transphobe and will be sacked. Are there any questions? Do you want to get in line or risk being fired for transphobia? There are no questions.

At universities they’re getting people to write “diversity and inclusion statements”. To get a job you have to write an essay talking about how hiring you will further the goals of diversity - at least how the woke mob has defined it. There is no polite conversation. Disagreeing with the policy is not a winning move if you value your career.

Online it’s obviously a bloodbath. A Finnish traditional knitting magazine was torn apart by social media for being “nazis”. Apparently they didn’t have any black people interested in traditional Finnish knit ware. The magazine immediately disbanded.

Do you think polite conversations would help in any of these situations? No. The politics of all this are not up for debate. Look at your own stance in this thread - you assume anyone who isn’t on board with the new language is transphobic. This is what I’m afraid of!

I’ve spoken to my trans friends about this and had lovely conversations. They aren’t a club who speaks with one mind. One of my trans friends hates the woke movement. She feels singled out and awkward whenever people go around and ask pronouns. She wishes people assumed her gender. In her words: “I wish my gender could go back to being the least interesting thing about me”. She hates that non-trans people mis represent her views. Another trans friend goes by they/it and loves the new world the woke movement is creating.

But it’s honestly not my trans friends I’m afraid of. It’s corporate HR. It’s university admissions. It’s crazy people on Twitter.

And I’m not alone in being afraid of all this. Read the other comments in this thread. I’ve got dozens of upvotes in the comment when I mentioned being terrified. The fear is real. Half of US college students say they are afraid to sometimes speak their mind in class[1]. Fighting political correctness is the new rallying cry for the right, because feeling oppressed by this stuff is so common.

I’m not afraid because I’m transphobic. (I’m not, and I adore my trans friends). I’m afraid because some people with your politics go around insisting anyone with a nuanced view is a monster and needs to be attacked and “educated” until they get in line. It’s awful.

You're talking about evolution here, but I was never talking about evolution; nor was the original article.
Very nice work, I didn't know about Elecrow but I will check them out.

One nit I'd point out is that's it's always best practice to put the pin 1 dot/label outside the footprint for the part. That way anyone else who looks at the board will have a much easier time understanding the layout and if a component was placed incorrectly.
Can we add (2019) to the title to indicate that the original report comes from that year?
> That said, any discussion of this theory should mention the rather puzzling issue that gravitation is nonlinear, and thus it would be impossible for there to be a superposition of worlds in each of which general relativity works as observed.

Are such superpositions not a thing in String Theory? How would gravity's nonlinearity preclude this? Quantum mechanics works fine with nonlinear systems like weird oscillators.
Thank you for the comment and suggestions. I'm not very familiar with Lisp... so I was considering an imperative language with easy to learn syntax: javascript, lua, or python.
Exactly. Taking the low probability play with a high payoff is, well, unlikely to succeed. But talking to people who had a high payoff will lead you to think that it is guaranteed to succeed. Survivorship bias exists.
> Still, the breach at LastPass shows the company made another mistake by allowing the employee to use their home computer to access extremely sensitive data. According to LastPass, the hacker planted keylogging malware on the home computer, enabling them “to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA (multi-factor authentication), and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault.”

I am no expert, but this seems like a stunning lack of network security for a company in this field.

I have read anecdotes that security oriented companies often have the worst practices. Are these practices not flagged by audits? Or are audits in areas like this just not done?
you would hear it, and it would not work. it works because it emits at the right time, not delayed, to cancel it so perfectly that it's below the noise floor for your ears

You don't.
Personally I'm agnostic between Lisp and Scheme (or whether Scheme is, in fact, a Lisp), but some people have Strong Opinions on this. :-)
Eh, I find Goodreads reviews really difficult to get a handle on. Moreso than, say, Rotten Tomatoes, where even if the aggregate rating is different to the rating that I'd give a film, the reviews are at least useful enough that I know what I'm going to get. With Goodreads, it's much more difficult to get a feel for what a book is going to be like based on the reviews.

I wonder if this is because the literary world is a lot not heterogenous. Making a film is very expensive, so only a (relatively) small number get made each year, and they tend to fit into specific categories. If you know what sorts of films you like, it's easier to find more films that match what you want. Books, in comparison, have far more niches, and those niches often seem shallower, so that a single book often fits in multiple spaces for different reasons. I think this makes it harder to know exactly what sort of things work well for you in a book, which makes reviews harder to compare, because other people will often be reading a book very differently to you.

I think this is similar to board games, which also tend to have many shallower niches, but at least for myself, I know which reviewers match my sort of games, and I know how to interpret their opinions. I don't feel like I have that same intuition in the literary world yet.
So because Meta decides to jump on the AI bandwagon that means they're done with the Metaverse? This does not follow. Meta spent even more on VR shit in 2022 than they did any previous year.
These days what Emacs doesn’t have can be as important as what it does have. It doesn’t have Chrome bloat. And it has no telemetry whatsoever. Telemetry should be de-normalized. It’s an affront.
Don't move there. It's a hellhole and the cost of living isn't worth it.

Look at Austin, Denver, Atlanta, or Chicago instead. You don't need a 1,000 startups around you when you'll only ever interact with a few dozen.
"Imho you have a very idealized perception of marriage that doesn’t line up with the various shades of grey in reality." Let's ignore you calling me naive. Besides that friend I'm not taking this personally at all no matter how many times you want to insist I am. I'm working on a Saturday and killing some time on HN responding to a post with my opinion and some anecdotal experiences. It's generally called conversation. If you would prefer single sentence responses, so be it. I'm going to go weep into my coffee now since you emotionally devastated me. All the best :)
Leaving a job is a good opportunity to re-calibrate your pay to market rates. Most companies don't give existing staff raises that are indexed to market rates. It can also be a good opportunity to set healthier boundaries - e.g. if you've ended up working a lot of unpaid overtime or carrying a pager without being paid an extra allowance for it, negotiating a new job with a new employer is a good opportunity to correct that.

I've never regretted quitting a job. The pay rises have often been surprising - the funniest one was returning as a contractor to a workplace I'd gotten bored and frustrated with as a junior/intermediate engineer, getting paid 3x what I was paid before. That was eye opening, and a lesson about negotiation and market rates I wish I'd learned years earlier.

If you are interested in switching track into management or technical leadership, and have no prior experience in those roles, it may be much easier to do this while staying within one org for a longer period of time, assuming the org has such roles to fill (growing company etc) and they are open to mentoring you.

Another aspect is that different colleagues' subjective experience of the same work situation can vary wildly. I've joined teams as a contractor in somewhat challenging corporate environments and projects and had a lot of fun, where some of my colleagues who had already been there for several years had a lot of emotional baggage, and would react to day-to-day situations with much frustration and pessimism. Even if the company is objectively a pretty good place to work, individual workers can end up completely sick of the company's particular problems / politics / failures.

If you ever find yourself obsessing over thoughts related to work, and it impacts your mental health and enjoyment of life outside of work -- that is perhaps a signal of looming burnout, and that it could be a great time to take care of yourself and find a different job. Even switching to a job that is worse on paper in some respects can be mentally like a holiday if it lets you completely refresh and clock off work each week with no mental baggage. Sometimes in larger orgs it is possible to get some of these benefits if you can jump sideways onto a different project.
Environment variables get immutably set when you run the process, that screen would re-evaluate them when launching another window is bizarre. I'd expect the opposite case to be a problem, that when using screen you'd export environment variables by accident more often.
Right but, in my opinion, those all come with ergonomic issues from not being able to change the VM. In general the quality of the feature provided by Java will be better because of their ability to mold the VM to the language.

For example syntactic cooperative coroutines vs preemptive coroutines provided by the VM. Kotlin is now stuck with the colored function problem and has the stack trace issues that the Java team is able to avoid by not only being able to change the language.

That being said, I think they're both fine languages with different goals.
Is this legal information?
> we've bought into the free market philosophy so far that we don't have a civic language for saying "It's not OK that the railroad company management has poisoned an entire town because it helped their bottom line" or "the incinerator company that's also trying to poison an entire town is not within its rights to do so."

If a private entity can unilaterally impose itself upon another, that's the opposite of a free market, or at least of a free market that has any respect for property rights.

Instead, what you're seeing is a corporatist system, in which the regulatory machinery has been co-opted by private interests - which is exactly what we'd expect to happen in a democracy. See "regulatory capture".

If this were truly a free market, then when those Ohio residents had their property rights imposed upon, they'd be able to recover the full costs of those impositions through the legal system. The fact that the residents aren't able to do so doesn't reveal a problem with markets. It shows that the government isn't protecting the people's property rights, either due to failures in the legal system, or through a regulatory scheme that's been perverted to protect the corporations rather than the rest of us.

In short, point the finger at your leaders.
Early forms of active noise reduction did create the comb filtering effects that you describe, but these were never inaudible. Modern noise reduction is much better about this, however, and higher level products are actually used for hearing protection - this is used in headphones for fighter pilots.

The problem isn't the noise cancelling as much as people turning up the volume in loud environments, since earbuds don't reduce the outside volume as much as covered headphones do. So then they get the outside noise, plus the increased volume from the earbuds.

OT tip - I bought a pair of cheap $30 noise protection ear muffs that I am rarely without when travelling on damagingly loud public transit, such as when I'm commuting on underground rail. They are conspicuously large and odd looking, but my earbuds fit nicely under them, and the travel and listening experience is greatly enhanced, and pleasantly much quieter.
I stated having tinnitus after wearing airpods (gen3, but dropped to gen 2 ) last year. I’d used big headphones and standard issue wired headphones for years. Even went to an audiologist to get hearing checked. I’d concurrently had a bad sinus infection, but the tinitius started earlier. I think the tinnitus has gone down in the last several months finally (or I am more used to it?) but it was intense.

For the record, I’ve played guitar for 20+ years, in bands, and listened to thousands of hours of music, been to thousands of shows, etc… so I know what tinnitus from loud music feels like. This was something else.

I stopped using headphones at home almost completely
This sounds absolutely terrible. There's a lot that needs fixing in the US right now.
The right to privacy is not possible as long as a right to broadcast exists. One effects individuals and the other effects groups. Social media and cheap phones have given individuals a whole lot of influence over groups (however unpredictable and uncontrollable it maybe). A natural counter reaction is unfolding.

Social security is going to run out of money soon.

It's tragic that we cannot seem to agree that it needs to be fixed, nevermind how to fix it.

I'm not trying to start a flamewar. But this seems like a flaw in democracy. Why aren't we angry and upset? Why is the public so passive?

I like democracy, but maybe I have failed to understand that it is just a projection of regular human flaws. As individuals, we are poor at planning long term. Maybe that applies to groups also.

Python: Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas, PyTorch, Keras, OpenCV, Pillow, Libsurvive

C++: Boost, OpenCV, SFML, CUDA

Rust: Tokio, Rayon, Serde

Databases: MySQL, MongoDB

I have a background in physics, and I enjoy solving interesting problems. I haven’t worked in a software engineering related position before, so I’m looking for any kind of entry-level role that would be a good fit for my skill set.
Generally, sure. But some of us are raising the possibility that there's something else going on that isn't captured by the limits, notifications and warnings. I didn't mention it in my original post but I always used my AirPod Max with the hard cap decibel limit set to the minimum value, and even then I wouldn't have them turned all the way up.

Sure, no doubt; I'd say the same of the man I had most in mind while writing my prior comment. It's just that that's not all there is to say.
Therefore they should be empowered to have full authoritarian control over your life? Government incompetence is why limited government exists. Can you state a definitive opinion instead of dancing around with nihilistic platitudes?
You don't need an interpretation to address them. The design of the measurement apparatus is what defines the basis in which the system is most easily expressed, which you don't see when doing abstract quantum information calculations but you do see when you are talking about magnetic fields and particles that move through them. For example in the stern-gerlach apparatus, the alignment of the magnet is what determines the measurement basis.
That has also been my experience, could you please elaborate on a solution?

Mind sharing where I can get this?
I wonder if the same would be true if sessions didn't reset. Right now it's basically one pre-prompt vs one user prompt, and then the memory gets wiped. But if the model keeps running for months or years, would it perhaps develop a more stable personality with a much stronger force of habit that couldn't be counteracted within a reasonable timeframe?
Yeah… It’s becoming a pet peeve that the Rustafarians believe they have a monopoly on “memory safety” and need to point it out all the time.
Emacs has the best tutorial. It’s built in. And once you’ve completed it you are ready to use the whole system. Then you read the elisp intro and bam, you’re extending your editor. You can easily tackle both documents in a day.

No other editor comes with such a good tutorial.
That is a lot of pages to get past many confounding variables and,

"The Chernobyl dog population has great potential for informing environmental resource management studies in a resurging population. Its greatest potential, however, lies in understanding the biological underpinnings of animal and, ultimately, human survival in regions of high and continuous environmental assault."

I don't see any actual results, just more informed research. OK, they found that their were more family groups in closer proximity than with wolves, and that there may be some mixing with new breeds due to humans moving back in and bringing in pets.
And you are saying we are anywhere close to the maximal energy that humankind can harvest?

I'd say you have seen nothing yet. And history is on my side here.

Besides, creating smarter things doesn't necessarily need more energy. We are pretty wasteful with energy at the moment. What you are talking about, entropy in the sense of progressing anywhere, is a ridiculously small fraction of what we are currently using energy for. Most of it goes to waste. There are generations of better energy efficiency to come before energy availability that can't be compensated with higher efficiency even becomes an issue. By then, nuclear fusion will be paramount and/or our use of the energy that comes from the sun will be magnitudes improved from what we do today. Just look back 100 years.

If we haven't bombed ourselves back into the stone age before that. Quite a possible outcome too.
Export is 20% of China's economy, real estate is another 20-30% of China's economy. That's 50% of the total economy. Based on on the ground estimate (short sale/foreclosure by the court figures), real estate price has collapsed 50%. Based on Hong Kong numbers, export has collapsed 40%. The vicious cycle of collapsing demand -> job losses -> weakening spending -> investments pulling out -> collapsing demand will see no end.
What do you mean no? I genuinely don't understand what you mean by that. The whole point of them is to be a consistent CLI for managing projects, dependencies, and packaging. It's even using the same sort of vocabulary and covered m concepts, right down to the .lock file.

How do you see Poetry operating then, if not as an equivalent to those tools?
Anecdotal but I also had tinnitus after using ANC headphones for a year. Got a hearing test and an MRI scan (to rule out acoustic neuroma) and they found nothing. Switched off ANC, tinnitus went away after a few weeks.

If you search for ANC-induced tinnitus on forums, there are hundreds of anecdotes. Yet all the (few) studies that I looked at showed ANC to be completely safe and not related to tinnitus.

This incident made me consider scientific papers and my interpretation of them a whole notch more critically than before.
It is in fact quite common (at least in some parts) to use singular they for people of known gender. I hear it all the time here in London. Here’s an abstract that covers some of the patterns of variation: https://www.colorado.edu/event/cuny2019/sites/default/files/... There’s even an example in Shakespeare: “There’s not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend.” It would clearly be ok to use ‘his’ here, but we find ‘their’ nonetheless.

> could also be offended to be referred to as "they" because it could imply that the person is in-between

‘They’ is gender neutral; its use implies nothing about a person’s gender. If someone gets offended anyway then the simplest solution is obvious - use their preferred pronoun. But taking offense at singular they doesn’t seem to be something common, at least in my experience. It’s certainly the option that’s least likely to cause serious offense if you can’t remember (or were never told) a person’s preferred pronouns.

If we’re ok with cis people being fussy about being referred to using singular they, then presumably we must also allow trans or non-binary people to be fussy about their own preferred pronouns.

> [older people] may be confused

Confused != offended. But singular they has such a long history that I think such confusion is rather unlikely in practice. (Are older people confused by the Shakespeare quote above?)
Its the same kind of faith as the sun rising tomorrow. The universal constant of human history is finding new resources to exploit and manipulating our environment, the scope of which grows exponentially by the century.

Why do you think this will suddenly change, without precedent? There is no reliable science behind 'cooking the planet beyond livability'. We already have adaptations (carbon extraction) for that even if it were true.
But that wave function still gets transformed similar ways as wave function collapses would. You can turn around a particle with wave function collapses, we have done that in reality, so no matter how you structure your MWI the wave function collapse is there. That giant waveform you are talking about thus has to react to wave function collapses, there is no way around it.
My general take on successful people giving advice is to ask yourself "how reproducible is this?". When the advice hinges on a unique set of circumstances that you can't reproduce, then they are likely giving you their lottery ticket. Otherwise you might want to listen more closely.
Does that help if you have to also pay more benefits out?
Actually it works quite nicely on a M1 14''. Even battery life is quite good. Compared to my Dell XPS 15 7590 it has twice the battery life, easily if not even more.

One thing which bothers me a lot as it makes the laptop hardly useable for me at night: display brightness cannot be adjusted, it is either off or 100%. Some user claim this can be accomplished by installing the asahi-edge kernel, which does not even boot for me.

And this also bothers me lot: why are things checked in/distributed which do not work at all in Asahi Arch?!?! If you install e.g. a dev kernel which does not boot because the NVME driver is broken and you do not have a fallback kernel you are doomed. You cannot mount the partition in macOS to fix this manually.
