This is a huge effect size especially in the tails. I wish the article talked about the control groups though.

I predict a number of addicts will be triggered by this research. We saw the same effect when we found that even light drinking is measurably harmful. If your first reaction is to get upset and defensive there’s a good chance that you have a problem.
Anecdotally, it's already being used in day to day life. My friends (who work in non stem fields) have been using it to settle arguments. My neighbour has been using it to ask for gardening advice. An acquaintance at the mosque used it to help him create posters in Photoshop (he asked it how to implement masking and such). It's actually incredible how quickly it's being adopted.
What we need is a single distributed protocol for both file sharing, chat and "posts" tied to a verified human identity, with the concept of trust baked in. I want to search my social graph for content rather than google. If your social graph has people shitting out spam or bad content, you could just revoke the trust of the people in the graph that enabled that content.
Case in point: we're discussing this on Hacker News, a very well moderated website.

Libertarian tech bros love the idea of technical solutions for political problems. What they don't realize is the real service platforms offer is moderation.

I like the metaphor.

Next, people think “we need AirBnB! Not stodgy old hotels, but cool, real homes owned by real people, where individuals can provide hospitality to each other and everyone wins.”

Consequence: independent operators take on the soulless characteristics of hotels but without the accountability or reliability.

I can see us entering the AirBnB era of social networks soon…

See, I got that answer a lot with VR. And like you, they never asked whether I had used it, generally assuming that the only possible way I could be skeptical is through ignorance.

But as with both of those and plenty of other novel technology, whether or not I like it doesn't answer most of my questions, which are about what other people will use things for. E.g., I did not like YouTube, but I am just not a video person. So me using YouTube and saying "meh" wasn't informative, because I wasn't the target audience. Similarly, I was wowed by the modern VR experience, but being wowed didn't make me a long-term user, something apparently true for a lot of people.
I smoked weed constantly in college, and when I stopped, it was like a fog lifted. Its danger was comically exaggerated in the anti-drug propaganda they force fed to kids in the US for so long that a lot of people have a reactionary tendency to assume it's harmless, but they will soon be proven wrong. Still has nothing on America's number 1 hard drug, alcohol, though.
Those 50cc motorbikes are slower in acceleration and lower in top speed than high powered ebikes. Without numbers is ridiculous to claim anything on how the adaptation is between high and low powered ebikes. Here in Copenhagen a lot of them on the streets are high power and there is not real oversight on that sold ebikes are low powered enought to count as ebikes an not e-mopeds.

This doesn't work like that in fountain pen users' universe. The good notebooks change the behavior of the pen and the ink a lot, and you want to write things you want to save on these notebooks.

When written, and finished, a notebook written with your favorite inks and fountain pens become an art piece for yourself, and you want to write something you want to return to.

If it was about money, I'd be using a nice rollerball with a nice refill and run of the mill or recycled paper. It's akin to liking vinyls, you want it for the experience, and spend time with it.

I have the same experience with the author. I use my fancy notebooks for diaries and software projects (like lab notebooks). Daily notes go to cheap notebooks with decent papers, and written with the best behaving, easily replaceable inks with easily replaceable pens.

When these notebooks end, they're scanned, converted to PDFs, and then shredded for recycling.
How is it possible for SVB to not have a bank run at this point?
I agree. You need that intersection of interest, presentable qualities (listening, digesting,responding, speaking) and quest for accuracy. Hard to get those all in one person.

Also I have insomnia and ADHD and I'm pretty sure weed does help and allowed me to do more not less.

Without it I'm super tired already at Thursday.

And yes I lived long enough without it and it was like this before my weed use not after.
That highly depends on your frame of reference, I suppose. In most of Germany that would be considered fairly 'heavy' use already, whereas most of the West Coast would probably consider that to be rookie numbers.

New managers (or bad ones) have a hard time serving the basic functions of - filtering incoming noise, making priority decisions, and allowing some room for ICs to breathe.

The last one - allowing ICs to breathe is extremely important. Most of my best / most impactful / bragged-by-others work was completely unplanned/unscoped/side project kind of stuff where I saw a recurring problem that could be addressed. Most of these were really like 1-2 days of focused work to get to 80%, then when management saw what it got them.. periodic planned/scoped/in-sprint tasks for improvements.

New/bad managers often have a hard time not planning their ICs time down to the minute.
> That article is about control flow and syntax, which isn't a big problem. What matters is data.

I fully agree that what matters is data but I stumbled over your remark that control flow and syntax mightn't be an issue. In fact I'd go so far as to say that above a certain level of abstraction it's all about control flow and syntax. But then Zig doesn't seem to be addressing such levels so perhaps you're right.
There are many cheap notebooks in the market that handle fountain pens perfectly.

You just have to experiment with some and once you find a lineup supported by a good company, you are set for life.
Thanks! I'll give that a look.

I agree it's very reasonable to have highly zoomed small area stuff, I just seem to be missing the gap between the OSM data and the tiles. I'll give that a read, thank you!
In that case it would just SVB has a much higher risk tolerance and it seems that may have bitten them in the ass.

> I could be convinced to commute to a satellite office that's not affected by rush hour traffic.

This right here. If I could get to work and back in 5 minutes I wouldn't mind the commute, ever. Unfortunately everyone wants to have offices in some downtown area, instead of just near a major city in a quieter part of town, safe back-roads that wont bother anyone.
At the top of that page, it says it is used in the REPL and during compilation and not available in compiled code. The guide elaborates they are also available in macros. But I don't see a mechanism for runtime eval.
OSM is really a dataset. They do offer a raster tile server, but it's intended to support community mapping (improving the dataset), and not necessarily for end users using a map for other purposes.

Basically they want you to host your own tile server using the OSM dataset. There are also commercial offerings that do this for you, but not for free.
Really? I ride a bike and I can't wait for lots of people to use e-bikes to get around. Research shows that "the more people ride bikes, the safer all bike riders are on the streets." [0]. Also... I'd much rather get hit by an ebike than a car.

In practice it works very well though, I experimented a bit with replacing cmake with build.zig for a 'not-quite-trivial' C++ project, and tbh for cross-platform code that's a lot nicer than wrestling with the arcane cmake syntax and all the C/C++ compiler toolchain differences:

https://github.com/floooh/sokol-tools/blob/master/build.zig

The basic idea is the same as in all other build systems: you describe your build as number of build steps and their dependencies. There's really no reason why this build description should happen in a separate build tool and language.
Who said anything about republicans? I’m an immigrant from a country that exists because it split off from another country due to cultural differences (even though nearly everyone in the story was a “brown” Muslim). It would be hypocritical as hell for me to complain that Trump voters in Wisconsin feel the same way.

Nearly all the people immigrating to the US come from countries that believe the same thing as republicans: one cultural group has no moral obligation to invite another cultural group over the border to share democratic governance of their country with them. Indians believe that, Chinese people believe that. Japanese people, Koreans, everyone in the Middle East. Mexicans would flip out if mass immigration from Guatemala was flipping elections in their country.

Ironically, the liberal American view of this reduces to the assertion that a handful of mostly European descended people in the developed world are correct about the nature of nationhood while everyone else is wrong.

Ask HN: Is using/storing id tokens in the browser considered save now?
Looking at the firebase documentation it seems it is simply possible for the client side javascript to obtain the odic id token via getIdToken.

A few years ago this was considered unsave and instead sessions should be used an the session Id should be replaced by the JWT token on the server side.

I'm wondering what is the current best practice?
This is why I like "resource constrained programming" and demoscene.

Bonds carry risk. The value declined, thus they don’t have the money.

If the bond issuer defaults then they wouldn’t receive money back on any timeline. Thus calling it a duration mismatch is misleading.

More accurately, they took on a level of duration and credit risk, and it didn’t pay off.
It's not just you. Long function chains/nested function calls are discouraged in most languages for readability reasons, but chaining is 100% more readable to everyone who has tried both for any appreciable length of time.
The problem implied by the parent post is probably the danger that the speed pedelecs or e-scooters pose to low speed cyclists and pedestrians.

I'm not familiar with the Netherlands, but in Belgium legislation was introduced to tackle that problem. Above 25km/h, they are essentially considered motorcycles, requiring a similar driver's license and follow the motorcycle rules of the road. (https://www.vlaanderen.be/speedpedelec)

E-scooters are limited to 25km/h and follow cyclist rules, e.g. they cannot be used on sidewalks.

The number of speed pedelecs in the Flanders region is relatively high, because many companies have started offering leased e-bikes as a way to do tax optimization. (sadly, the same tax incentive exists for car leasing, so the number of cars on the road is still too damn high)
No clue... I'm just looking at the developer docs (which I assume OpenAI isn't lying about)

I just think it looks neat. I first saw this animation demonstrated by chrome team years ago in some developer conference video, and have been searching whether it's done every couple of months since then.

Sure, if you make seconds-long animations on every interaction, or implement this for blog posts, it's going to be unusable.

But for web apps, short animations in UI transformation make it feel more... held together I guess. Consistent. I like it.
No, it really isn't the same as crypto.

Crypto really didn't solve so many problems in such an immediately visible way.

The company still existed at the time because we were still operating our paid service in maintenance mode for a while since we didn't want to cut people off. (The cash flow involved was trivial.)

Funnily, we ended up not being able to dissolve for 5 years because some dude decided to sue us (though this actually happened after Chase turned down the refi). I'm not going to get into the details except to say eventually his lawyer withdrew, he was self-representing, and then he didn't show up for court appearances, and so it was dismissed. 5 years later. This also did not bother SVB, when they looked at the details.

Anyway we finally dissolved last year.
which is impressive but I can't think of how to utilize this

Art is probably the best use. The "filler images" and other miscellaneous background art that adorn lots of articles aren't really expected to be 100% accurate or even worth looking at for more than a moment, and I think this is where AI-generated art will mostly fit.

OpenSuse's got a neat patch for grub that copies the password you enter at boot into the initrd. This way you don't need to store a key in your initrd and you don't need to worry about securing those initrd against theft.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factor...

Side note, you can use this same technique to add the LUKS password to the initrd just before doing kexec. This lets you reboot a remote system protected this way without having to pull up a VNC to enter the password.

My script for doing kexec with a preloaded LUKS password is here:

Sure, most software developers prefer to automate as much of our work as possible. Starting with compilers, build systems, reusable software (libraries, frameworks), etc.

But these are fundamentally different from AI. As I mentioned above, Fred Brooks in his essay (The Mythical Man-month) would argue that all these just decrease the accidental complexity. The incidental complexity still remains. I.e. taking a vague description, an idea, something embedded in the heads of the stakeholders and turning it into some kind of actual computer code, finding and removing inconsistencies and with a minimal number of bugs. Now AI will be able to do it one day. And it seems that day is not that far away in the future.

The hard move is going from a vague set of incomplete requirements (which is always the case) to specific, executable code. We never had a tool that can do this transformation. Until now(ish).
I really like/appreciate the little 6-8oz cans here myself. Juice, as an example, when I was little was a serving of 4oz, and one wasn't meant to have it more than a few (3-4) times a week, as explained by my grandmother (when I was little) and definitely not meant to have a giant fruit juice smoothie every day.

One 12oz can of soda is the recommended daily sugar limit for an adult male. How many people consume way more than that every single day. And it's been hidden in so many products over the years. Now it's almost worse using artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols that have varying affects person to person.

Like gluten intolerance (celiac at ~1% and intolerance at 3-4%), may foods and combinations only affect a small piece of the population, but with processed franken-foods it's possible to affect much larger portions in varying ways. And it can be temporary or cumulative, such as with histamine intolerance, which is probably the issue most people who think they may have gluten problems lay.

Yeah, I kinda know what you mean by fog. I have a "low key" addiction to weed because I'm a bit emotionally dysregulated and weed helped with that. So, when I'm struggling to cope I sometimes wish I had weed at hand.

However the fog thing is real. I noticed it on myself when I stopped too.

It did without a doubt help me live a somewhat more normal life than if I hadn't been using it at the time.

However eventually as I got better (in general, still got acute episodes), the fog/downside outweighed the benefits.

I think it should be studied more as a form of medication. Maybe smaller doses and administered orally, as to avoid the negative side effects associated with smoking or vaping it
While I agree, I still feel like the original example wasn't explicit about the threat being external to the conversation. But again, that's likely me being overly pedantic/overly concrete in my thinking.

That being said, there are situations where you would want to "revoke" information you shared willingly and intentionally with someone (think in the case of a messy breakup or divorce, where that information could be socially or legally troublesome if presented in a certain way) - encryption is still weak to a "plaintext recording" attack in that case.

Anyway, again, thank you all for the informative and civil discussions X) Have a good one.
I think you might like AccessKit [1], once we figure out the best way to provide reasonably efficient .NET bindings. Basically it's an abstraction over the platform accessibility APIs, written in Rust. And it's specifically designed to be usable in immediate-mode GUIs (the first completed toolkit integration was in egui, a Rust immediate-mode GUI). You push tree updates, which can be full or incremental, and AccessKit retains the accessibility tree.

> 1) My "Office" (not home) is not an "Open Office", it's a place where I can reasonably sit in peace and have control of my surroundings (this is something not afforded to most people in offices, and something that work from home provides)

I think Open Office approach only works when its your team in a secluded area, and then any other teams have a wall to block out your teams shenanigans. I prefer remote, but I miss the one open office place I worked in where we were just isolated by teams mostly, it was also maybe 8 of us? So its different from having a much larger team set.
A collection of media, that was conveyed as a purchase, was really a DRM locked rental. After the Microsoft auth servers were taken down, all the music went up in smoke. I was hundreds of dollars poorer and nothing to show for it.

After that, sure, I'll buy tickets to attend shows and other 'people doing cool stuff on stage'. But buying DRM music, videos, and games are out of the question. I'm not going to throw more money to a badly described rental that's masquerading as a sale.

Now, I have bought music and videos in recent years. But those discs go to my reader and converted to their respective formats for Jellyfin/Navidrome handling. But in 20 years, those discs will still work. The DRM crap won't. (And if Microsoft can't manage to keep up DRM servers for a decade or longer, I'd argue nobody can.)
