I call BS! I'd like to see the original paper, or better yet, a replication of the study.

Sure, on a cold day a hot coffee may be nice to hold and an iced coffee may be unpleasant. But on a hot day? The hot coffee burns your hands; the iced coffee is refreshing to hold. And this is even accepting the premise of the claim.

(Or perhaps it's reversed! Maybe we'd be more likely to think well of someone who asked us to do something mildly unpleasant, in a Franklin-esque way, and resent someone who offered us a pleasant moment only to take it away.)

(Or maybe the idea is mental association? I do, after all, think well of glassblowers and distrust ice cream vendors.)

Are we unknowingly influenced by little things, by the wrong things? Definitey, but I'd be surprised if this were an accurate example.

edit: my apologies for the bit of snark ^^'

I am tickled a bit by the story, though.
24/7 surveillance of individuals is just becoming culturally accepted.
A terrible example, but a real one, is my grandma: she lives alone back in Colombia, and due to the fact most of her family is abroad, her grandchildren decided to pay a company to install cameras in every room of the house (except the bathroom) as to make sure we can all monitor her, "just in case". My attempts at convincing them a simple fall detection bracelet was sufficient were in vain, and my whole family doesn't see the issue, for it is "only for her own safety".
Wow... if that's true, it's some real amateur hour idiocy. As much as I like the brand, I'd trivially stick with Nate, especially if he somehow got the old band back together: Harry, Claire, etc.

Agree on the caffeine intake. It has made a huge difference in my life! There are people who drink coffee and it doesn't cause them to feel stressed, but often times, coffee wil have other side effects like messing up your sleep.

I prefer to drink coffee occasionally and for daily, I would choose a green tea or something like Chamomile, does wonders!
Good Odd Lots episode goes into this theory. [1] Basically companies found that by raising prices, they were able to increase profits despite shipping fewer units - and they wanted to see how much they could do so. When Pepsi had to leave Russia, which accounted for 4% of revenue, they just increased the price in the rest of the world to compensate without issue. And seeing that, Coke followed suit.

However at this point in the arc, companies are losing their ability to push prices. They won't pull them back or anything, but we are seeing reversion to the mean.

That stabilization should be sufficient to see much lower inflation levels moving forward.

To give a little perspective, we would cosleep back home when there's familial support. But we would let the kids sleep on their own when we're living in foreign land with no one else to help us.

Babies want physical connection during sleep, sure. But they also need me to not end up bed ridden because I pulled my back carrying them after having slept only 3 hours and forgetting to bend my knees. Twice. True story.

It's a balance of quality care. There's no need to turn everything into a giant conspiracy theory. Also, first baby fed with formula, second baby breast fed. IMHO, absolutely no difference other than having to supplement vitamin D for the BF baby, and the mother is ten times more depressed.

Even if America is dysfunctional, not everything needs to be hero derp murica.
There are many interesting calculations involving logarithms that you can do in your head if you already know a few logarithms.

For instance, suppose you are reading a book by randomly flipping to one page each day and reading it. What is the expected number of days it will take for you to read every page in the book? (This is a variant of the well-known Coupon Collector's Problem).

Because you haven't seen any page before, any page will do, so you always see the first of the hundred pages on the first day. Hence, the expected number of days to see the first page is 1.

For the second page, you have a 99/100 probability of seeing any page except the one you already saw on day 1. To convert this probability into an expected number of days, we can use the fact that if you flip a biased coin that comes up heads with probability h, the expected number of flips until you see heads (including the final heads) is 1/h. Therefore, it will take 1/(99/100) = 100/99 days on average until you see the second page.

Continuing in this fashion, the expected number of days to see every page in the book is:

100/100 + 100/99 + 100/98 + ... + 100/1
= 100(1/100 + 1/99 + 1/98 + ... + 1/1)
= 100 * H_100

where H_100 is the 100th harmonic number. The nth harmonic number, written H_n, is the "sum of the reciprocals of the first n natural numbers" (Wikipedia). By expanding the first two terms of the Taylor expansion for H_n, we see that that H_n is approximately equal to ln n + y + 1/(2n), where y is Euler's constant, which is approximately 0.5772. So we have:

H_100
≈ ln 100 + 0.5772 + 1/(200)
≈ 2.3 lg 100 + 0.5772 + 0.005
≈ 2.3 * 2 + 0.6
= 5.2

Therefore, the expected number of days to see every page in the book is approximately 100 * H_100 = 100 * 5.2 = 520. You can check this result via simulation at https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/CouponCollectorProblem/ .
Since they allegedly take the lowest big it is quite vexing.
Okay, I'll bite. Your just-so statements shouldn't convince anybody of anything, but I'll provide a few points to think about anyway.

> I just don't get why you'd even want to sleep separately from your young child.

People have different life experiences. It really shouldn't be the first time you hear about people doing things differently than you and still getting similar results.

> They cry because they crave physical closeness, physical contact,

Yes. They also cry because they're hungry, because their diaper is full and when they are tired.

When our kids were babies there were even times they cried because they needed to be left alone. They were overstimulated and we needed to stop trying to help them.

> the rhythm of their parents breathing,

Can't say I've noticed that one. Seems hard to isolate though. By the time they hear you breathing, they'll feel body heat, see your face and are usually also in your arms and getting some interaction. Not sure how you have determined that it was the breathing that was doing the trick...

> just like we've done for millions of years.

I can't tell if this is the fallacy of appeal to tradition, the fallacy of appeal to nature, or an equally silly "appeal to evolution".

Evolution didn't stop at some magical point in the past. There's no reason why what held back then must still hold now. Nor is longevity of a trait proof of an evolutionary advantage. It just has to not be a disadvantage to stick around.

> All you do in denying that is create a lasting distance, nightmares,

Funny how neither that "lasting distance" nor the nightmares panned out for our kids, who have slept their entire lives in their own room. Can't say I've noticed those things in many other kids either, which is strange since private rooms are very much the norm around here.
A steering wheel lock is better at preventing car thefts, something like this https://www.milenco.com/products/automotive-security/automot...

Then it doesn't matter if someone gains entry to your car and is doing some of the more recent tricks involving the CAN or USB to disable built in immobilizers or convince the car a key is present, the ability to drive the car away is removed without a heavy and loud power tool in a very confined space.

An airtag may help with deterrence if the presence of it is advertised, and may help with recovery if the police are actively doing recovery. But the car is still going to get stolen, it's still going to be inconvenient and involve dealing with the insurers (who do want to avoid paying out).

A steering wheel lock is a far more effective deterrent and preventative.
> The problem is that letsencrypt does not offer url based authentification for wildcard certs.

For good reason though. You shouldn't be able to get a cert for a domain you cannot prove you control. Lots of people have webserver access to a specific domain but not all subdomains.
Makes sense to me, who could be bothered to clone drives and then have to wait for them to be re-encrypted per device. Instead of just modifying the firmware once?

Especially considering the devices would be sold to strangers and it's quite unlikely the harddrive would make it into the hands of someone without access to the paired system.

I suppose the re-encrypting could just be a second key, but still would require processing that is not worth anyone's time.
sup dave what you thinking brah?

Bhutan has a monopoly on the locations within its border to put hydro dams. India obviously wants the power (and perhaps Bhutan’s economic dependency) so India has negotiated with Bhutan on how to build those dams.

I get your points, but ultimately Bhutan has control over building hydrodams within its borders, so it is controlling supply, so it does have a lot of control over the price. Of course you can come up with a million quibbles about the details, but you are just arguing yourself into a corner case.

OP’s point was: “Are you suggesting they cannot sell more [electricity to india]?”. You said “They probably can't”. Yet Bhutan is developing more hydro dams, and they are going to sell more electricity to India. Case closed!

Unless you can find some data showing that they are spilling water for $0 without generating electricity…

That is certainly part of the story yes. Especially in grocery. It's wild how much better a job restaurants did controlling their food costs than individuals could.
Thank you!

> Have you made any attempt at quantifying its biases?

I haven't. I can share ChatGPT's evaluation of sources credibility, maybe that will give people some insights.
For example, Reuters got 9.5 (out of 10), Lifehacker 7, Oprah Mag 3.

> where it focuses most of its reporting. (Economy and the US from a first glance?)

I'd say today is just US and economy-heavy day. There were many days when other categories and geographies made the top (I especially enjoy these). One example: https://newsletter.newsminimalist.com/p/tuesday-april-25-3-m...
On Edge: https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/33/2... shows an option “Try http://http.badssl.com/”; does that not work, or have things changed since that time? (https://www.eff.org/files/2021/09/21/edge_https_only.gif also shows this, in the strictest Automatic HTTPS mode.)
I'm trying to imagine what a possible use case would be for this. Any simple examples?
Instead of these models constructing frames it would be interesting if these AI systems could instead produce skeletal character movement data (similar to the motion capture of real humans acting) and could operate maya/blender.
Absolutely. But for competitors to raise margins bilaterally requires cooperation, because each side can take market share by keeping prices low.

I just wonder if the cooperation might come in the form of, say, one powerful shareholder of both competitors making calls to the boards of directors of both competing companies.

Unexpected consequence of passive investing?
Do you think damus is a scam?
You mean like - https://justi.cz/security/2019/01/22/apt-rce.html?

tbf, I'm being a bit hyperbolic. Its totally reasonable to have security at different layers. One good thing about HTTPS though is it is a very well tested layer. Crypto is such an easy thing to screw up, even when doing just basic stuff.

I'm a really passionate engineer/leader with a mix of experience across insurance, payroll and SaaS. I've worked in large corps and startups, with a few freelancing stints along the way. I'm always hacking on my own stuff in the background and looking for interesting problems. Good at working with really high ambiguity and figuring things out.
Thank you so much! I spent some time researching subjective well-being, life satisfaction and behaviour change a few years ago when I was at an unhappy point in life, and started experimenting building systems that helped me be consistent and balanced in the things that are meaningful to me. I tried to figure out how to make it sustainable and low friction through automations, habit rules, emergency modes/completion types and so on. All this led to Conjure. For me, what differentiates it are Habit Completion Types, Habit Version Control, the Habit Rules Engine, being real-time across web, desktop and mobile, the Measurement system with custom fields and a bunch of other over-engineered things :)
1.1 will survive due to low resource IoT devices where the extra burden of caching state is too much of an imposition.
I wonder what are "Hana and a competing Mokran". Are these North Korean record labels or TV channels?
The "incorrect by x%" metrics are misleading since they are that percentage incorrect in log space but significantly more incorrect when taking the antilog.
I’ve made small things for repairs using a ToyBox 3D printer and OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD is just like programming.

Examples:

https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-commodore-p50-calc...

https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-rockwell-8r-calcul...

All small things but satisfying and you can see the OpenSCAD code in the repos.
The tech was there but there were much stronger objections to apps plucking random data from devices and send it to corporations for evaluations. And developers are as guilty here.

Yes, there can be benefits to diagnostics, but then you failed to acknowledge what this data collection is about.
> Do you also think women should not be allowed to wear revealing clothes, lest they get raped?

No. Nor have I said anything like that.

> People deserve to be themselves without getting raped, or bullied.

Sure, but we don't live in a world where such things can be completely prevented. Therefore, every person has a responsibility to take reasonable precautions for their own safety and well-being.

Derailing conversations about what people can or should have done to avoid being victimized with accusations of "victim blaming" is actually quite infantilizing and perpetuates vulnerability.
One ironic twist of generative AI is that many hucksters will claim that an AI generated something that is bizarre for the internet points, when in fact they either fabricated it entirely or had their thumbs heavily on the scale. Many "AI-generated" stories that went viral with earlier GPTs were very clearly written whole-cloth by a human. In this case, each frame is clearly AI generated, but there's a big difference between someone saying "make me a beer commercial" and getting that (seemingly what the claim is), and spending hours with an AI asking it to add weird apocalyptic fire into images of people drinking beer, picking the weirdest ones to stitch together manually, and slapping Smash Mouth on top of it. Rather than being fooled into thinking a human generated something that was actually the output of an AI, we're faced with wondering whether this was really the output of an AI by a good-faith prompter (as seems to be claimed) or mostly the fabrication of a human looking for internet points.

In the pizza commercial, for instance, there is absolutely no way the AI came up with "Pepperoni Hug Spot" and wrote text that is not only legible, but in the same font every time. Yet the poster says "everything is AI". No, it's clearly not.
Or they just optimistically connect to both TCP/443 and UDP/443, create both a HTTP/1 and HTTP/3 connection in parallel, then see which one responds quicker.

This already happens with some major apps.
You use the headrest for that.

Vehicle headrests are deliberately detachable so the metal prongs can be used to break the window.
To a certain extent yes but…

There’s absolutely no way a browser should be tracking the topics a user is interested in and then providing them to any script that asks

You can opt out but how many people will actually know they can

The Topics APi is what you get when an Ad company owns the most popular browser
Vitess maintainer here. I feel like the discussion was about 100% feature (queries/protocol/...) compatibility and that somehow it shifted to 100% performance compatibility? 100% performance compatibility is trivially not something to claim.
If I need a caffeine boost I have a cup of decaff in the morning. There's still some caffeine in there, and it seems all I need. Green tea is also good.

It is funny how despite all isolation they do not have a Korean term for CNC and just use a Latin TLA verbatim.

Appalling. Something needs to be done about this epidemic of founder-on-founder violence.
Because it doesn’t protect people’s privacy… other sites should have no rights to see what topics I’m interested in
If the car's locked with the window a bit down, they can't use the handle to get in.

They'd still need to break the glass.
This was a fun project. It's good to know that a lot of the north korean consumer technology does propagate at least to the border areas with China, and so has a chance to be archived and kept available into the future.
If you're so busy with deadlines, why waste any time writing this comment?
It’s okay, it’s only technology. It’s been around for almost two decades and it’s open source. Nothing to be afraid of. You can conquer your fear through diligent studying. Good luck!
Where is the cynism I’m looking for?

Someone say that this is pointless since you can do the same thing by utilizing existing tools like your table!
Have you had a look at Backstage.io? It seems to be along similar lines to what you're describing?

I think this should be turned into a wiki-like community site.
Loved the description, using it. :)
This seems to be highly focused on global financial news, which are unsignificant to most people on this planet.
It would be nice to be able to include or exclude certain news-categories to actually produce a list that has some significance to the reader.
The idea of an academic organization "fixing its hermeti⁣cism" is thought provoking.

Were these nerds toiling to the benefit or tune of some charlatan, some _Trismegistus_ -- or were they too much the hermit, one who toils without the clutch or gearing for meshing with the gears of society? With the central limit theorem their sovereign then probably both I guess, instinct says more the latter.

The way you file the teeth of your gears is a real struggle. I wish there were more resources for it, AI has an opportunity to fill a gap here. I know the path of salvation is doing my normal do _just more aggressively and in public_.

I managed to carve out a real small niche making an indie game publicly over a year and a half, posted a few hundred videos. Some knocks and I lost the momentum for constant publishing. The work hasn't stopped, but the ephemeral threads of a narrative feel harder to grasp. Do I just start posting things out of nowhere, acting like I never stopped? Do I montage the unpublished backlog? Do I wait until I've achieved some scientific breakthrough?

I've got videos of flood fill lightning and neural networks and sheep shapeshifting and explosions and probably 100 other things I've forgotten. Maybe the problem is that I never knew who my audience was. Shouting into the canyon is harder than it looks.

Mine: "Check and correct if needed: ..."
Japan had the same monetary policy for the same period of time and saw zero inflation.

It's not monetary policy. There's no reason to think that 15 years later some magical thing happened to flush all the pressure that had built up out of the pipes.

It was due to a combination of fiscal stimulus, yes, to a degree - and also supply chain issues, a land war in Europe, shutdowns in China, and myriad other confounding factors. There's been a lot of perfect storms lately.
Gold went up a lot while it was illegal for people own significant quantities of gold. After that, gold on average has barely kept up with inflation.
Credit Suisse failed recently too
Wow, this is mind-blowingly good!
Once had similar flash thought on taking off in an airplane over center of a major city - "no way every 2-3 windows in every tiny building are worth 500k EUR... I must be looking at hundreds of trillions worth of wealth here".
This is worth developing semi-commercially through Kickstarter or the like. There's a market for this sort of thing, as demonstrated by the similar but hand cranked LomoKino camera: https://microsites.lomography.com/lomokino/

I'm a big fan of projects like this as it makes it very cheap to experiment with weird/exotic film stocks. This design is so advanced that you could shoot a 10 minute short film for a couple hundred $.
Rules of thumb for software development estimations
I just want to remind, typical GameDev experience can differ substantially from typical SoftDev experience, so I'd be cautious from extrapolating on whole industry.

Agree. US news are not so relevant here so source customisation would be great!
Battery life better than my apple device for sure - though it's an old MacBook air
Maybe it's my low prompting skills, but I couldn't make ChatGPT give lower importance to tabloid articles when they claimed that the "world is ending" or something similar.

Every time ChatGPT saw the words "World is ending" (not real example) it gave those articles very high score.

Estimating source credibility was the only solution I came up with.
A table, by definition, is a surface upon which a cup can be placed. A cup holder on the other hand envelops the cup and prevents any sliding movement. This makes a cup holder ideal in moving vehicles.
> it didn't really make any sense to develop a competing browser from scratch

I don't think they were doing it from scratch. Their scratch happened all the way back.
You can effectively debug unencrypted HTTP using tcpdump, no reassembly usually required because a request with headers and a response headers fit one IP packet. If they don’t, someone uses way too big headers (or too many).

Keep in mind that car loans get paid down pretty fast. For example, Capital One's <620 FICO customer segment has already paid off about half the auto loan principal from 2021. Their delinquency rate has flattened, quarter over quarter, as well.
Responding to your edit:

Perhaps in a theoretical sense they aren’t different, they are fiat money which is basically a ledger of value (which governments manipulate).

But behind the dollar is the largest economy in the world and the largest army by a long shot, and a lot of motivation to keep the dollar as the “biggest” currency in the world.
