Yes! I use Shure SE215 with comply pro red foam tips. With the aonic "true wireless" Bluetooth you can toggle ambient sound passthrough. Comfy and even adequate for sleeping, but don't expect to be woken up by the fire alarm.
Thanks mate! Hope you are doing ok, sounds like we understand each other.

My cantankerous raconteur of a best friend. Excoriating wit, hyper-literate, with deep interests, strong opinions and views, all well-reasoned. A pleasure to spend time with in-person and in-text.

Doesn’t suffer bullshit or excuses. Holds me to a high standard. Helped me to discover what I value most, and live those values, right to the top of Maslow’s Pyramid.
The title is so mundane, and the first dozen paragraphs weren't very interesting, but I'm very glad to have persevered through it. His first-hand account of COVID in China was one of the most interesting I've read in a very long time. It was great! If he could create a separate, edited version focusing on just COVID in China, it would be newspaper/magazine worthy!
Foreign companies in China will probably do fine as they live in the real world and not in the wild world of politics and speculation.

US-China trade hits record high despite rising tensions

Trade between the US and China hit a record high last year even as their diplomatic relations deteriorated.

Imports and exports between the two countries totalled $690.6bn (£572.6bn) in 2022, official figures show.
They are of course a right pain if you accidentally get one given to you in change down south. Plenty of shops will refuse them.
Yeah, but we know all that.

In this case it was easily verifiable from multiple mainstream sources -- if instead of making that minor effort it becomes fashionable to just say "deep fake" about everything that we don't like (say a former and future presidential candidate for the democratic party looking like a complete political hack) facetiously we are doomed as a species I think.
LOL, MIT open source license. That’s what happens - the developer sells out.

It’s not GPL, so it’s open to embrace, extend, extinguish. We shall see.
Where did you read this? The Sutin biography reports that he died of a stroke, and his Wikipedia page says nothing about cancer. Are you confusing him with the Sherri Solvig character in VALIS?
I disagree. The GPL can't force a license on your code. It just force a license on the whole program that all its components must respect the freedom of the GPL. As long as the code that use the GPL is under a GPL compatible license (such as MIT), you're good. I.e: you're free to give more freedom in your code than the ones required by the GPL.

The virality is something else: It is that you must disclose the source of the whole program that use a GPL only library. And you're doing that with MIT

Wow I really like the terminology "oxidizing" for re-writing something in Rust.

Sorry for the unsubstantive comment.
Agreed. To your initial point Jack Daniel's marketing relies so heavily on being "Tennessee Whiskey" I think it would be harder for them than other companies to threaten to move to a state with looser rules (e.g. Boeing in SC).

I don't think anyone believes that the company will do this out of the kindness of their hearts but rather are hoping that this attention spurs new regulations. The company basically admits that's what it would take in the article:

"Melvin Keebler, general manager of the Jack Daniel Distillery, said in a statement that the company 'complies with all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the design, construction, and permitting of our barrelhouses.'"
Honestly, you should. Europe isn't America. We have free education here. If you leave academia and enter the workforce willingly at a lower level than society offers you for free, should you really get to do the work you refused to train for?
Your comment has the feeling of a deep fake.

Great game. I can still play a couple of the faction themes on the piano. Inferno is the most fun.

The combat is prone to over-optimism or shenanigans with fast spells and retreat most of the time, but in a nail-biter it’s satisfying to plan based on the numbers and timing. I wonder if any modding efforts have fixed the ways the tactical AI could be goaded into mistakes.

> Forget the outside stuff. ... Feeling like a failure or success is almost a worthless concern as you’re clearly nearly done with a huge life goal. ... Marriages are fundamentally just a societal complication of a relationship ...

Ungenerous translation: That thing that's been really important to you for four years -- just forget about it. If you stop feeling bad about it that you'll stop feeling bad about it. Also marriage is objectively a silly institution. Sounds like you'd like to get married. Maybe that makes you silly. Getting a PhD though -- that's going to change your life forever! You'll be proud! If you're not proud because you don't like your sub-field, well ... maybe that also makes you silly!

To the OP: Sounds like stuff's really hard right now. I'm sorry for that. Grad school is damn hard some times and relationships are too. If find the above advice reassuring or helpful, great! If not, try to brush it off and read other more supportive comments. I hope things get better for you soon.
I don't think we are doing anyone in the future any favors by sanitizing language and ability to question and understand historical context behind it.

I think most "normal" and well adjusted adults today were exposed to irreverent comedy growing up, for example, and I think it helped our brains develop better than if everything we saw and heard was pre-sanitized for us to line up with how we "should" think.
It's not nearly as bad as the daily mail, and the writing is higher quality. But I still get 7 ads in that NYT article and I'm a paying subscriber. I just grab their $5/mo deal and when it expires and wants to charge me $20/mo I unsubscribe with the reason being I'm not paying $20 for a service that still has ads. About 2 weeks later I end up getting an email for another year at $5/mo.
I can't figure out an use case for your setup, can you help a bro out?
Most of star trek is appropriate for a 12 year old. We watch TNG and DS9 with my 10 year old son, he seems to enjoy them, but needs some explaining at times (especially with DS9). The original star trek movies are good too, no gore, and full of positive messages.
The wording "scan your phone" misleads by implying that the photos are scanned because they are on your phone, when really the photos would be scanned because you sharing them with a third party, by the third party. Yes it was all-or-nothing, what it wasn't is all-, there was a nothing and that nothing would have kept your photos private.

(Yes it was feasible to design the ability to have a local photo store which isn't uploaded to iCloud, separate from other photos which are, and call it "private photos", but that's another matter).
> I’m also pragmatic and recognize that having a belief doesn’t mean that belief must be enforced at all costs.

But you said two comments ago you were “absolutely” against forced medical treatment. This clearly has softened?

I bring this up not to dunk on you but to acknowledge a prior point you made which I think is a strong one: “people start bending reality rather than recognizing the hypocrisy of their beliefs”

I hasten to add I’m also not calling you a hypocrite! But I quote that, and in particular the “bending reality” part, because I think this goes both ways, not for just one party in a debate.

One lesson from me from Covid was that no one side in a debate has a monopoly on the practice of subordinating hard facts to emotion or prior belief and that we all have to bend over backwards to point out flawed reasoning even when it supports a position we are inclined to like. That was the whole point of my very first post in this thread.
Personally I use it for "I ate too much" too. Half the fun of emojis is the new unofficial uses that evolve (I wonder what the fruit peach folks' thoughts are).

I don't see the problem of including small groups - they are the ones who are most invisible and marginalized and therefore in need of recognition. You say it makes little sense, but to me it not only makes sense but is self-evident. Even if you're right, I can scroll through my emoji map and see many that are even more niche, yet none of them receive the angry flak GNC emoji do. (Not to even mention the even more obscure items in the rest of Unicode.)
I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult time you're going through, but please know that you're not alone. Many people have experienced the same sense of emptiness, doubt, and uncertainty that you're feeling right now. It's understandable that you're struggling given the breakup, the stress of your PhD, and your challenging family background.

It's important to give yourself time to process your emotions and work through your struggles, but please don't lose hope. You're taking positive steps by seeking therapy and trying to make sense of your experiences. Remember that progress isn't always linear, and it's okay to take things one day at a time.

Lastly, please don't forget to be kind to yourself. You're doing the best you can in a challenging situation, and that's something to be proud of. Remember that setbacks and struggles are a natural part of life, and they can often lead to growth and resilience in the long run. Keep your chin up, stay optimistic, and know that things will get better. One way to cultivate a more positive outlook is to keep a gratitude journal. Each day, write down a few things you're grateful for. This can help shift your focus from what's going wrong to what's going right, and it can help you cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life.
As a percentage of the population daily mail readers are miniscule.

If you asked a hypothetical 100 people their thoughts on the Daily Mail the number who report reading it would be dwarfed by the number calling it trash.
QGraphicsView is indeed awesome. I have been using it in the tile map editor of my hobby 2D game engine and it can easily handle thousands of objects. IIRC, it uses spatial partitioning to determine which objects need to be redrawn.
You can also look at the US-China trade numbers which are at record high if you don't trust the Chinese government.
I definitely concede that point. Perhaps I should say “I’m strongly against it”. Absolute is too absolute. Clearly I am not absolute on this belief.

I don't think the person you are responding to is stretching a metaphor.

He's pointing out human behavior that might just as well have been produced by an LLM.

I think that's a correct observation.
Nah... perhaps i am just too stubborn, but even my 8 year old self confronted the big bad russian kid that bullied me about a dozent times... got stomped in the ground in 9 of 10 times, but in the end i simply WON. He aknowledged, that i was more trouble than the bit fun bullying me was worth it.

Never "picked my fights" at any time in my life... make me feel treated unfair (or observe someone treated unfair) and i go full psycho mode. Yeah, i got stomped in the ground many times in my life (lost a few teeth, got broken bones, where fired or thrown out of places) but i am just too stubborn and stupid to give in.

AirPods causing tinnitus?
Based on personal subjective experience, my AirPods Max have definitely worsened my tinnitus.

Given my 30-year history of tinnitus, I'm very careful about volume levels and I am certain that "too loud, too long" is not the thing that's made things worse for me.

The only thing that changed is I started using AirPods, specifically the Max.

I immediately noticed, when I first put them on, that I could hear better with them on and in transparency mode than I could with without them. A clue that they were cleaning up and/or amplifying something.

I had no apparent problems for a few months but then started to notice that it seems liked my tinnitus was getting worse. Unfortunately for me, I didn't immediately do anything about that observation.

Then, one day, I was in the kitchen with them on in transparency mode. Listening to nothing at all. I knocked a cast iron skillet against the stove. The pain in my left ear was instantaneous. It was like a gunshot. I took the headphones off immediately. Although there was no pain in my right ear, the increased ringing in it was intense and has only subsided slightly in the weeks since then.

For weeks, the ringing was so loud that it was waking my from sleep. I couldn't drop into meditation -- as a meditation practitioner, I'm checking in with my internal experience daily, so this change was profound.

I had to go on medication to aid with sleep and anxiety.

I've regained a hold on my sanity and come to grips with the reality that my ears are never going back to my normal level of tinnitus.

Upon a web search, I found the link I've provided, with more than 2000 people upvoting the topic on Apple's discussion site. Reading through the subjective experiences reported by many people there, it certainly seems like something is going on.

I'm posting here because I was talking to a friend about his experience with AirPods that have the noise cancelling and transparency features, and he experienced tinnitus as well with his Pro and Max models. He's one of the smartest people I know, so when he was reporting the same thing that I experienced, that so many other people are reporting, I became concerned that there may be a widespread issue.

Fortunately for him, the moment he started to get ringing he thought about it and disabled both transparency and noise cancellation. So, he switched to using them as plain old headphones, basically. His tinnitus wasn't permanent and he hasn't had problems since he made that adjustment.

He's a physics guy and his hunch is that there's something going on with harmonics and the powered modes of the headphones, that we can't hear, that is screwing up our ears.

I saw an ear doctor last week. He gave me a hearing test and was confused by what he saw (apparent across-the-board hearing loss in the left year; above and below average hearing in the right ear across the spectrum). He shrugged at my questions about certain kinds of headphones causing tinnitus.

What is the experience of the HN community? Does anyone have insights into what might be going wrong here?
But it is the big ones, we are interested in, because they can do a lot of damage and not only fireworks.
> I have never understood why

What could it be besides the money?
You seem like well reflected. Personally what stands out from your therapy is that you get some advice on what to do.

I would not like such an approach and would change the therapist. It should be you who is advising yourself with the help of a therapist but not the therapist him/herself.

There are too many people out there who call themselves a „coach“. I would try to find somebody who studied behavioral therapy
It’s kinda funny to see “signals” coming round into fashion or popular discussion in front-end tech Twitter. Mobx is a signals state management library has been around for 7 years. Notion used signals internally for state management and often when engineers joined they’d ask why we use signals over Redux, can we switch to Redux because it’s more modern, etc. Now it’s 4 years later and for some reason this pattern is all the rage. I’m glad I didn’t waste time on Redux just in time for trends to move on.

To discuss more specifically TLDraw’s Signia library, I think the ability to do manual diff tracking & incremental updates for computed stores is an interesting “escape hatch”. Docs here: https://signia.tldraw.dev/docs/incremental

Most signal libraries I’ve seen try to lean hard into magic auto-tracking of dependencies which means they make it really easy for the developer to correctly observe a lot of dependencies, cool on correctness, but then have a very limited set of tools to deal with the performance implication of some computation needing to re-run a whole bunch. The differential tracking here means that if you see such a hotspot, you can get really manual optimization of recomputation without needing to squeeze into the libraries pre-packaged observable collection API.

Downside of this API is it seems quite easy to get it wrong.

Another thing I like about Signia is the use of logical time. I saw this first in Jotai internals, then in Starbeam. I haven’t dug into the source of the library yet but I think logical time is a good approach and makes inspecting internals make a bit more sense than inspecting systems (like Notion’s) that rely purely on update notification listeners.
Why? Obviously color ones exist and non-color ones are just as easy to inject using modulation of laser intensity, variations in fonts, etc.

It is, just not Facebook's brand of it. The metaverse people wanted was VR Chat, or something like it. Facebook wanted to make the Metaverse ubiquitous, tame and mundane, but VR's whole draw is escaping mundanity.

If you ask me, learning a new programming language(s) or skills in tech field is always useful no matter what you are doing/gonna do. Even if you are just gonna use GUI tools and other tools listed in your post, it is useful to, for example, know the differences between Grid element and flexbox and the advantages and disadvantages of both.

> It’s ostensibly a vocal minority of professional offence-takers who wield power, generally on social media

The issue is that these people have seeped into positions of power at media institutions like the NY Times, WaPo, etc.

Now they're using the decades of trust those institutions have built to shove their ideology down everyone's throat.
You can’t stop it - certainly not with regulation; so why so much concern for the “geopolitical equation”?

Fear won’t change that - and we are at least 20 years away from a neuromorphic revolution.

You’ve got enough time to come to grips with it.
I don't know about other people - but I spend greater than 99.9% of my time inside a tmux session. It is my windowing environment. I was reading the original post and just kept furrowing my brows wondering "Under what possible scenario could any of this possibly be a problem?"

It's kind of interesting reading through the threads here and seeing how people don't spend their time inside tmux all the time but instead "start an instance on demand" - which I've never done but I guess works for some people's workflow?

I'm genuinely crippled trying to use a terminal without tmux after having used it for so long - don't have the faintest clue how to copy/paste/search/organize windows without it.
I know it sounds wild but this factoid and the Coca Cola company have quite a bit to do with the US government attitude towards the coca leaf and its legal status.

> In this case, the executives and shareholders who historically have shown to not be interested in taking a loss for the sake of safety.

If an executive is making a choice between profit and safety, then the regulatory regime has failed.

The only way capitalism can work is if risk and reward go together. If a company can profit from taking a risk, but does not suffer the true cost of a failure, then they will be incentivized to take irresponsible risks. The best example of this is 2008, where financiers gambled themselves into oblivion, but got bailed out when it went bad.
