I think that within a family it would be a way rarer problem. I'm open to being contradicted, but I believe it's a pretty universal cultural norm for younger generations to take care of older family members when they need it, at least until very recently.

Coerced (even lightly coerced) euthanasia is a feature I associate more with a welfare state, where the state doesn't have enough money to pay to care for everyone, so incentives begin to creep in to convince them to end their lives when the can't be cared for properly by the state. See the Canada example posted in a sibling comment.

It suggests some sort of navigable floaty thing. They saw an island offshore, thought, let's go there, and figured out a way to do it.
Yes, the only problem is that most homes are not plumbed for grey water and it's a very expensive retrofit. If you're building a new home, ask about that and structured wiring. It's unfortunately usually a way more economical idea to just get those toilets that have a sink built into the top (popular in countries like Japan) that use the hand washing water to flush the toilet vs trying to store and/or pump it around.
Any plans to add support for Vue SFC syntax highlighting?

Meanwhile, here in India, for the first time in the living memory of every single person I know, including my 78 year old dad, we had 25C daytime temperature in Delhi...in May.

The weather has been bizarre as hell. It was so unusually hot in February that the prime minister had to call an urgent meeting to discuss potential damage to crops from the excessive heat.

Then it suddenly cooled down again and has been unseasonably pleasant.
that's not possible
That account migration sucks bigtime. I had to do it for my account and all of my kid's accounts and every single time it was a chore. You aren't signing up for a "Microsoft" account, you're getting an account on like 4 different services that don't talk to each other. Then you have to dig way deep in the settings on one of the services to find the poorly labeled switch (I believe it says something like "allow online chat") that allows the accounts to connect to my local server.

Even more fun for me: The email address I had used to create the Mojang account had long ago been registered by some bot on the Microsoft side. So I had to do an account recovery/takeover in order to do the migration, but it turns out you can't completely switch the language settings so even though the web pages are in English any email from Microsoft comes in German. There's also the possibility that the bot will take the account back at some point, even though I've tried my best to change all of the information in it and I own the associated email address. I'm actually pretty annoyed that Microsoft let the bot register it without ever verifying the email. Also, it gave me a super lame XBox handle and I can't seem to change it.

The old Mojang account was way easier to use.

The only thing worse is when Oculus forced everybody to make new accounts for the headsets to be more (or less?!?) Facebook/Horizon Worlds tied. That was an even bigger headache.
I'm sorry, that chart indicates Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, which also accounts for "solar load" or, per wikipedia[0] "solar radiation," ie the heat of the sun bearing down, as well.

We had those in the USA as well. If you kicked the pole hard enough you could make it go out for a few minutes.

the light they produced was the best and I wish we still used them, or at least an LED that mimics the orange color.
What's the motive behind wanting deflationary currency?

Just a few minutes' reflection should convince you that's a very bad idea for any free market, capitalist economy.
Talk about false analogies. The "space suit" you needed to survive outside in Montreal in January can be basically home-made from cheap, abundant material. Our ancestors figured that out with no tech. In comparison, if it's too hot, only expensive technology can save you, which is out of reach of billions of poor people.
Your theory falls apart if you assume some small percentage of people may act irrationally.
PEP 649 accepted by Python Steering Council for 3.13
We get it, we all have our rituals when facing our mortality. Some pray, some weep, some just give up. But this ritual pseudo scientific chanting in the face of catastrophe is not only wrong, its unnecessary. Our children know nothing different. For them the world they will inherit will always have been that way. The heat belt refugees will always have migrated north. And for the older generations its barely relevant, except to calm our nerves.

Nobody blames anyone for this mess. This is how young species goes. This is why the galaxy is empty. We walk into the filter and are gone. Nothing to be afraid of. Acceptance is peace.
> Let’s say you became “comically” smarter overnight, could you really significantly benefit that extra knowledge? Besides going for the Millenium Prize problems, the benefits would not be too significant, for example is it that valuable in the startup space? (otherwise we would see PhD students as CEOs everywhere). Opportunity/luck is much more meaningful.

Hmm, that's assuming that PhD students want to be CEOs. People become CEOs because they like money, but also because they like running companies. For a PhD student, that might mean days full of people coming to them with problems they have no interest in solving. Sure, PhD students want money, but if getting money means sacrificing years of your life doing work you don't enjoy, it's not generally worth it.

I don't disagree that luck is a huge factor in most people's success. That said, you're unlikely to become a multi-billionaire without substantial help from your brain. There are other factors, like lack of shame or embarrasment, that could also be considered a form of intelligence, or rather an adaptation to a particular kind of environment. They might make you less popular in some situations, but more likely to succeed in business. Anyway, I agree that there are multiple factors.

Information is for sure a bottleneck, that's a good point. In a game like chess, you have perfect info, which is not the case in the real world. More intelligence lets you draw better conclusions with less data, but it's not omniscience. One big question is, how close are humans to the theoretical maximum of intelligence? Some people think we're quite a ways away. When AGI is developed, is it going to blow way past us, to the point where we can't even understand the concepts it comes up with? I don't know!

> Let’s say we are at an endgame Monopoly — would knowing ahead of time your opponents dice rolls help you win?

I think so, wouldn't it? For trading properties and so on. I'm not sure if I'm getting the point you're aiming at, though, so apologies.

Maybe another analogy is poker, where your opponents haven't figured out game theory and play on intuition. Having a better model for how the game works is absolutely a big advantage that stacks up over time, even with the randomness. Maybe, as an AI, you just look for small advantages here and there, playing humans off each other, gaining trust and influence, acting helpful, until you're in a position of power. Remember that an AI is effectively immortal, and possibly very patient. One scenario of concern is that AI takes over, it just takes a generation or two, after we have all thought that we were past the hard parts. At that point, we might be able to digitize human brains, or have solved the AI alignment problem, so maybe it's a hopeful scenario.

And then a big variable is how many super-intelligent AGIs there are. Once we develop it, are they going to be carefully restricted, or are we going to test them until we think they are safe enough, then copy them everywhere? These might look very different.

I'm also not an expert, so same for me! Grains of salt all around.
well node is 30mb but then you need another 30 of js dependencies most likely.
How does product substitution work in practice given that a cow has fixed anatomy?

If a farm price shock leads to a BLS sticker price increase, but consumers buy $10 of chuck instead of $10 filet mignon, where do the filets go?

If price transfers are symmetric, does this mean there is a time after the same shock where customers are substituting the inverse?

Presumably the meat packers can't hold the filets in inventory indefinitely
I'm not Chinese. We westerners must shutdown our AI studies ASAP, we must act ethically and lead by example.
I also like excluding the authors lifetime because it makes it easy to determine when works are public. There is no need to track down who the author is, if it has been around for X years it is now public. It gives a definite endtime.

> I'm wondering if the artists still used the sheet system, but a memory optimizer tool re-ordered the tiles to help free up a little more space on the ROM.

Seems unlikely. Managing the "physical" layout of sprites on a sheet is a lot of work; there's no reason to do that if it's going to be thrown out by an optimizer in the end.

Besides, notice that, on the optimized SF2 sheet, all of the tiles for one sprite get written out in order; they aren't interleaved left-to-right like the tiles would have been on a sheet.

If you call police and report your car stolen the next day it is stolen - police report will be your argument and you not only will get your car back, also whoever re-registered vehicle will go to jail (also a state Notary who verified forged signature will go to jail as well)

most stolen cars go to spare parts or export to Global South as junk/scrap and you can't do that without DMV re-registration.

if you truly have modern car (like BMW 2017 or newer), then you can just disable and lock it remotely from an app, and geolocate it.
I thought you were done with this discussion two posts ago.

> The original quote is from several decades ago.

Yet you are saying it is relevant today. I’m not concerned with the original quote; I’m concerned with your endorsement of it.

> "Best" is a useless superlative when without an adjective. Ironically, US institutions are definitely the "best" at indebting their students.

Is it now your argument that the US universities aren’t ranked at the top in the world?

Either way, you’ve again argued the stakes are high, as student debt is a national, generational problem in the US.

> Another ad hominem and appeal to an authority (yours) that you haven't disclosed.

Since you haven’t actually argued a consistent, coherent position, we are left comparing experience to explain your inconsistency. You have brought a lot of your personal baggage to the discussion, relating to your experience and that of your friends. Had you stuck to actual arguments instead of conclusory statements borne from your experience as a PhD student, maybe I would not be focused on your own credentials. But since you have only brought to bear your perspective as a PhD student in order to indict all of academia, your personal perspective is quite relevant. That you have no experience in academia beyond being a student is relevant when you’re making blanket statements as you are.

> "Ad hominem" = "to the person." Politics involve but are not people. The only remarks "to the person" have been yours to me.

That’s not how I see it. This entire conversation you’ve made conclusory statements that people like me are vicious and bitter and petty. I don’t think I’ve said anything even close to as disparaging as that about you. If you are not bringing evidence and arguments to the discussion, how is your position not ad hominem? You are making statements about academics as people. Do you not see how your position could be interpreted in a negative way by the very people you intend to malign?

If you think the CIA is one of the most evil and dangerous organizations on earth, you probably haven't had a lot of exposure to organizations around the world.

I remember seeing NeXT for the first time in person, in my college computer store, back in the late 80's. When it first caught my eyes, I didn't know what it was, and I couldn't believe it was actually a computer, seeing the black cubical case and very futuristic looking monitor in time when most of us were running either DOS on IBM/clone or running early Macs. Linux wasn't even in existence back then, I had an Amiga, and the only advanced workstation that I've seen until then were Sun workstation running X11, if I remember. I was in shock for few days afterward , when we were accustomed to boring beige box PC, and even my Amiga, which I was so fond of, almost felt obsolete and dated. (Of course, I'm still a big fan of Amiga, but I don't think I've ever felt like that about a computer like I did with NeXT).
Why do you need GPT in the kernel for this? If the relevant data is exposed to userspace, you can use whatever LLM or other tool, local or remote, to consume and interact based on the data, while not putting unnecessary heavyweight features in the kernel.

I think we both have exhausted our arguments regarding attestation. I understand why you don't want attestation to exist, and I believe you understand why I think it needed to exist in order for WebAuthn itself to exist. Like you, I hope it doesn't turn into a dystopia of every service requesting their own particular devices. So far, it doesn't look like it's going in that direction.

> I'd like to have that choice, yes. I don't think it would be good to act on that choice, but... Google should not be in charge of the device I use to submit a key

It's in Google's best interest to not damage their reputation with repeated break-ins to customer accounts and to reduce the overhead of an account recovery mechanism after an attack. It's the same rationale they use to not allow you to use "password" as a password, or why other services mandate 2FA. And again, Google isn't in control either, the authenticator is. Google (the RP) asks the browser (the client) for a user verification attribute. The authenticator is the one in charge of providing a response that sets that attribute. Without attestation, Google can't know if the authenticator did what it asked it to do.

> I have a solution that currently works (password vaults)

We're already seeing third-party sync fabric that don't use hardware elements without needing standard support. Dashlane already has it, 1Password is releasing it next month, and we're on a thread about initial support for it in KeePassXC. I'm sure soon after we'll see import capabilities for other password managers. Isn't this equivalent to the password manager you want to stick with?

All the extra discussion is around backing those sync fabrics with hardware (which is what I think will exist but outside of FIDO) and mandating implementors to allow exports (which I don't think will ever happen, nor do I personally want it or need it).
The article is about price gouging, not constrained supply chains. Yes, there were transient issues in some supply chains for some components, but the overall situation in 2023 is much improved from 2020-2022. Specific niches may be constrained (e.g. demand from grey markets to avoid sanctions), but it's worth the time to comparison shop within markets with functional supply chains.

I view the rise of React and especially Electron as the failure of things like GTK, Qt, and e.g. Swing to make a useable cross-platform GUI toolkit that isn't a total nightmare to work with / compile / debug / install / package...it's literally easier to ship [most of] an entire web browser instead. That's insane to me.

But it takes about 45 minutes for your eyes to fully adapt to darkness.

So if we were to use red lighting at a level of illumination that assumes fully adapted eyes, it means people won't have sufficient brightneses for the first 45 minutes of their drive, which is likely most of it.

I bought a Quest three years ago. It turned out to be not what I wanted so it sat unused. What I want: Super hires display over each eye that wraps to my peripheral vision and enough computer power to provide smooth hires graphics. Without those, the experience is sucky.

I realize the processing power I want can't be fit into a headset, so I'd be happy to be tethered to a high end desktop computer so I could explore virtual worlds. I get my exercise outdoors in nature. I don't want to be untethered playing beat saber like a teenager who drinks too many energy drinks.
I don't know the exact history of OTel, but I agree with you. A few years ago, open source applications basically included one type of telemetry: Prometheus metrics. (Maybe Jaeger for tracing if you're really, really lucky.) What OTel is is a way to write an open-source library that emits telemetry, but without dictating that the end user use a particular storage system. Basically, you can use Datadog instead of the open-source stuff, even if the library authors have never heard of Datadog.

Datadog specifically, I don't know if they care. They had an army of junior engineers that existed to hack Datadog into every open source project imaginable. If something had monitoring, they would just add their vendor-specific stuff and upstream it. That was probably expensive but probably accounts for a vast amount of their early marketshare. The other vendors wanted in on that racket without having to do too much work; OTel was born.
You should tree-shake your imports. And in case of Node, it exposes V8 internals to generate bytecode, so you can compile your code - then you don't even need to ship it as text
Feedback on Website MVP – Gift Card Social
Hi all,

I've just launched the MVP for https://giftcardsocial.io would appreciate your feedback.

Gift Card Social is a platform for buying Instagram-based gift cards.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the overall idea, redemption process, experience with the site and any features that you would need to see before you’d use the platform. Essentially, what I'm trying to get a sense for (because this is a new concept for gift redemption) is whether there is product-market fit and can I convey how the product works.

Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! If you're interested in jamming on the idea or to partner (I'm looking for someone more technical than me), please reach out!
That's a pretty good description of the C-Suite, I like it.
Back in my day, we had curses and we liked it.
I googled for "wet bulb calculator" and it lists 44C 10% humidity as 21C wet-bulb, which is certainly not deadly for healthy people with access to water and shade. 78% relative humidity though is 40C which is unfathomably hot.

I should point out that relative humidity usually goes down when temperatures go up (because the absolute humidity rises rather slowly), so hopefully it was lower than 78% humidity.

[edit]

Chart from parent post is not WBT but WBGT. See e.g. https://axongroup.com/en/blog/what-wet-bulb-temperature for an actual wet-bulb temperature chart.
The kinetic energy works of ejected mass, not just the mass of the bomb.
The bomb provides energy for acceleration of said mass - you vaporize and eject a big chunk of rock with the bomb if correctly placed. Which is why placing the bomb underground a'la Armageddon is much more effective at diverting it.
