Mild?

When I was 17 I went in to the doctor because of extreme fatigue. He just slapped me on some antidepressants and called it a day. Years later I happened to read about low testosterone symptoms, which matched me very well. He eventually acquiesced to letting me test, and it came back 2 points above the low end of normal - which probably by itself qualified as low for my age. He wouldn't let me do a quick trial of testosterone supplementation nor test again, but I begged him to refer me to an endocrinologist.

The endocrinologist (2 hours away) was worse. 100% dismissive, straight up told me I didn't have low testosterone. He did however let me test again, and this time I was 150 below normal. I asked to be put on medications that would maintain my fertility. He told me I didn't need to worry about losing my fertility on straight up testosterone, which is 100% false.

I'm going to cut the story off there, but it keeps going. My dad almost died because doctors didn't diagnose his lupus. My sister's friend lost her father when we were young because of an infection after some dental work where they dentist completely dismissed his pain after the fact.

Everyone is unaware of how "small their social context is," which is exactly my point. If I were a minority I very well might be blaming my story on that.
I feel for you. My dad was on the less side of that, having died just shy of three months from onset of symptoms. The tumor was located in a region called the thalamus, they said in all likelihood they would never be able to resection it without causing more problems than just leaving it be and sticking to chemo.. not that it mattered in the end, the chemo compromised his immune system and he perished to fungal pneumonia.
I'm betting people are going to be screaming at the chatbot thinking its a real person on the other end.

This gives me the whole Carls Jr vibe from the movie Idiocracy.

Define those locations
Motion blur is an accurate rendition of how humans see things. Your eyes are not fast enough to take instantaneous pictures of fast moving objects. Instead when an object moves fast on an interval too fast for us to perceive we see everything that object did on that interval in the form of a "motion blur"

Games that render frames don't actually replicate this because the object is rendered on discreet instances. Thus your eye is not able to properly capture the "motion blur" from a set of stop motion images.

To fix this, games must use artificial motion blur to replicate what the eyes see. Disabling motion blur is a mistake it is required for fidelity.

The problem with motion blur is if it's done for objects moving too slowly. Then it becomes noticeable because if your eyes are fast enough to capture the object without blur then adding blur becomes noticeable.
If you bring someone for support, make sure they're taking the same precautions as you.
Honestly terrifying. The potential for abuse is just to great (maybe not at the moment, but how long until the tech is perfected?).

Imagine, for example, being gay in a state that has harsh penalties for being so.

Or Theocracies that are not friendly to minority religions.

And that's just the more obvious examples.
That makes me wonder: what would be the rough equivalent of McSweeney's for either or both of those generations, assuming they haven't entirely abandoned the written word? (I'm asking as a Gen-Xer who is more than willing to move on.)
You can download XCode without a dev membership, so you're definitely not paying for it either way.
Or 3D touch! Aftertouch and velocity are both possible on a touchscreen, the tech just never lived long enough to give it an earnest try. I'd be very curious to see how that works if someone had a POC up and running, doubly so with good haptics.
I did what you did, and then I went back. I went from full Apple ecosystem to completely FOSS, and then back again.

I have an EliteBook running Fedora, and some virtual private servers to run Matrix and NextCloud. Fedora was solid for about a year, and then it catastrophically crashed. I had backups so I could get my files back, which was a good thing, since NextCloud's encryption relies on an unencrypted local copy (in my particular version). Decrypting files stored on the server was onerous, at least in the particular combination of server/client I was running. Since I rely on those files (OCR scans of letters, building blueprints, photos and a bunch of other stuff) I found this unacceptable.

For the phone I have a Fairphone 4 running Murena's /e/OS (which is a stupid name, by the way) which works. GPS was crappy though, and aside from messaging that was all I used my phone for.

Yes, it is important to have some measure of freedom, and I am still vigilant against locking myself into systems I'd have a hard time getting out of. But at some point pragmatism wins. I never wanted to tinker (on production systems, anyway), I want stuff to work so I can go about my business.

So now it's an M1 Pro MBP and the iPhone 8 I had in a drawer. I set up some automation to copy Photos out of the library into flat JPEGs and I copy the iCloud data to an external drive (in flat, open format) regularly. Other than that I rely on Apple to keep my OS secure and hardware running.

Some part of me misses the feeling of being 100% in control. On the other hand, this just works, and I have little issue throwing money at the problem.

Why judge people for what they like? There has never been more choice in music, listen to what you like and be happy that others are doing the same. I think the incredible amount of choice is the largest reason for why pop music has become so formulaic. People who are interested in music all have their own playlists so pop has to focus even more on people who are largely uninterested in the complexities of music.
This is the way. I inherited a very long SP that built a SQL string within the procedure then `sp_executesql`'ed the resulting string. It was also at the very core of our product, which made it a living nightmare to support, because if you messed anything up all Hell would break loose.

I spent a good couple months translating it to C#, and making a few improvements while I was at it. Absolutely 100% worth it, those improvements made it possible to add features to make supporting the product much easier for frontline support to help people.

The only benefit is we could cowboy updates directly to prod instantly. If that made your heart skip a beat, congrats, you actually give a damn about change management!
Interesting take.

For me it was quite the opposite, regular Linux distributions annoyed me because after having them set up, some stupid mistake (either from my side, or from upstream, unsure about this) caused my whole bootloader to break, rendering my system unrecoverable (maybe not for every, but for me it was/is).

When i learned about NixOS, allowing you to essentially set up your whole system declaratively, it was so compelling to me, that i just went with it.
Yea i don't really like / know the language very well, but it's a lot better of an experience than any prior Linux experience i made.
Why teens love – and hate – location sharing
That's what literally happens in Brazil, where you can even pay gas on a card and have it split into multiple payments.
We're engineers, we could implement location tracking in a way that only the user being tracked has access to it. Google could store it in the cloud but encrypted with a key Google has no access to.

It's irresponsible I think in 2023 to have any technology that is this privacy-vacuous.
Your point is well-taken. But also worth considering is that people with, say, ALS might have quite a different perspective on this.

Obviously anyone who has sold the rights to their music gives up that particular claim that though.

And (in my opinion) the rights of any musician should die with them, so if they haven't sold the rights to their music while they're alive their music can't fall into the hands of a private equity company.
"And that kind of pseudo-telepathy might even require the meandering and the density and the apparent overcomplication to deliver you enough context to align your neurons into something approximating where the author's were at."

Absolutely, postmodern literature is an extension of modernism (i.e. To The Lighthouse or Ulysses) in that it is focused on describing the moment to moment experience of consciousness, except postmodern literature like Pynchon's work dials everything up until the replicated experience of consciousness is the experience of a psychedelic state.

This results in confounding literature where it is difficult to deduce what is real, what the point is, and to orient oneself. This is unavoidably a necessary part of inducing such an intense mental state in the reader.

And should had set it to at least a week. It's not some 911/mission/missile critical program, there is absolutely no reason for checking that often.

The (apparent) turn of modern physics (viewed from the outside) toward information theory and complexity theory is incredibly interesting to me. To me it seems like a way of identifying principles which could lead to some physical intuition a la Einstein's "equivalence principle" or Heisenberg's "observability principle"

These field seems like could provide a meaningful answer to a question like what is a clock (entropy producer?) and what are rulers (entanglement measures?)

I think we are going to find the rules of reality are more and more overdetermined, once we have the right principles.
I've got my hands on an Allwinner D1, is it possible to use intrinsics for rvv 0.7.1? I'd like to already test a few things in my c libraries. Are there any resources other than carefully reading the spec, that documents the differences between 0.7.1 and 1.0?

It has a real social impact if they don't have a phone. They will miss out on things. You might argue "but if they were real friends..", but the issue is they may never get to be real friends if they keep missing out on things.

My kids get phones in 9th grade, but it is clear they aren't to be on them during school. What sets me apart from a lot of parents, though, is that I'll believe and support their teacher.

> Yes! One thing I loved about early macOS (about OS X Tiger - Snow Leopard days) was that I never saw apps steal focus. On Windows at the time it happened all the time in various ways, but never on Mac. That included when apps started: if you were working in an app and started another but kept working in the first, the second started with the window in the background. It was lovely.

Good point, when did Mac OS lose that? It's insulting if you know how it used to be.

Because the world moves forward. Something that might have worked well 5 years ago but has had no updates or improvements to keep up with competition is ultimately not as useful as it once was. Depending on how good other software has gotten, it very well could be a case of wasting money by not switching over depending on how much you value your time.
This sent me down a rabbit hole; I would love to see your source I can't find any. The idea that someone might carefully pace their recital in order to keep accurate track of time across several hours is threshold-hard to believe. It seems _possible_ but unlikely, and the kind of story which is likely to grow with retelling.

The closest mention I can find is this [1]:

> Early monastic rules say little about how time was determined, though the Rule of the Master notes that pairs of monks took turns, in weekly shifts, trying to stay awake while the others slept in order to awaken the abbot on time. Several possibilities for deter- mining that time are likely, however, including the use of calibrated candles or lamps of oil, [...] the recitation of a certain number of psalms, [etc]

However, here is it only mentioned as a possibility, not an actuality, and no sources are provided.

There appear to have been several orders who practiced 24-hour prayer by taking shifts, see for example the Acoemetae [2]. Here we do have Monks staying up all night reciting psalms but I can't find any indication that the prayers themselves were used to keep track of time.

The only reference to prayer-as-timekeeping that I can find seems to be in Medieval recipe books [3], which apparently would say things like boil this fish for as long as it takes to recite the lords prayer three times. Dead-reckoning works well on such short time-scales!

Even as early as the 500s there appear to have been timekeeping methods accurate enough to tell that dawn was approaching. When the skies are clear you can read this from the stars and accurate-enough water clocks have been in Europe since ~ the 500s. So there doesn't seem to be a need to perfect the act of spending hours reciting psalms at the right tempo.

Subjective indeed. I usually dabble in Nuendo and have pretty much all Steinberg workflow with Dorico in the mix too (also on iPad).

I really should check out Logic too one of these days, but as it's a mixed environment in the "studio" with Mac OS and Windows these multiplatform apps make life a bit easier for now.

What is it with those weird metrics?
147,000 square feet across, this is what science communication picks up from the paper?

The major axis of the TJBH at ~10 mbsl was estimated to be ~151.8 m and was oriented ~10.76° clockwise from the north, similar to the main direction of geological faults in the region. The minor axis, perpendicular to the major axis, was ~124.4 m across. The surface area covered by the blue hole is ~13,690 m2 (1.4 ha) with an external perimeter of ~492.7 m. The structure of the blue hole can be described as a conic shape that is north-skewed with a volume of ~1 million m3.

Why not about 140m (450 ft) diameter?

> ChatGPT beats DeepL for me as well

I've tried it when I had the time to compare (DeepL vs GPT4), and find them to be pretty equal.

But DeepL easily win on speed. 5 paragraphs would take just some seconds with DeepL and be almost 100% correct, while GPT4 would take almost a minute (sometimes more) while being about the same amount of correct.

> Very impressed with GPT-4 translation though -- especially the ability to steer it between "transliteration", "keep the meaning", "keep the tone", "use local idioms where appropriate", "explain different possible meanings/intentions", etc.

I've found that DeepL already does this well even thought it's not a LLM (as far as I know).
I am feeling this way a lot lately. There is a bill to mandate a minimum wage specifically for school teachers at the federal level. Teachers need higher pay, but a federal mandate isn't the solution.

I don't know about Final Cut, but I do know lots of Logic users in the media composing world. Some will keep using it no matter what but plenty will leave for Cubase or Studio One if Apple forces a subscription on them. And Logic is probably the reason they buy Macs for producing music...

It would be a terrible move by Apple.
There are a few reasons that I am excited for this, none of which have to do with actually using logic pro or final cut on an ipad.

1. This is an excellent signal that iPads can get "real" software now, hopefully more companies start porting their desktop mac software to iPadOS

2. Apple will continute to keep MacOS and iPadOS separate rather than trying to combine them like a lot of people on the internet think they want, which is good.

3. WWDC is going to be an absolute banger this year if they are announcing something like this in a press release.

That’s not true. We don’t need to do this. Absent intervention, sure these technologies are likely to be introduced and invade our lives. But we are humans, not computers, and despite the decisions of the last several decades, we are not required to allow market forces and the profit motive algorithm to make all decisions in our society. We can make whatever rules and decisions we want. It won’t come without a fight, but this horrifying development seems a pretty good place to start.
Graalvm targets WASM, 'work in progress'
I use iMaschine, GarageBand and occasionally FL Studio Mobile on my iPhone. All great apps, but all are limited. Can't beat using Live on the desktop/laptop.

Great for getting one's feet wet, or for ideas that spring to mind when you hear something cool on the street or on the train or whatever. Hear something, record it, manipulate it, and make a quick beat or riff on the spot.

However, like you, that's just a small part of the process, and if one wants to do something more with the sound they recorded, it needs to be moved to a more powerful platform - in this case a laptop. A DAW on the iPad is neat, but kind of stuck between usecases.

Though I don't have advice in terms of your DIY approach, I built an ice bath out of a giant garbage can and used an aquarium chiller to cool the water. The chiller can definitely get the water down to 40 degrees, but unless you pay a lot for a high-powered one, it takes several hours to get to the target temperature.

Also, make sure your setup is connected to a GFCI power outlet. It might save your life if something goes wrong. This advice applies to your idea as well. When it comes to electricity, you can't be too paranoid.

I also hope you remember to add filtration and toss in a bit of bleach to inhibit microbial growth.

There’s zero chance this message was not shaped by social media companies. Any message like this, regarding any industry, would get that industry’s input.
