Size change in male sealions suggest that the predatory pressure over seals was alleviated. This is bad news.

It means that Killer whales and white sharks are silently [1] vanishing. Either they are being hunted by us (or killed by our machines), and/or their preys disappeared by a climatic event, and/or we can suspect a major disease.

If this disease extends to the functional category "predator" instead to the taxonomic category "Dolphinidae" the problem lies most probably in the trophic chain, and we can suspect bioaccumulation also.

If the big predators that eat fish are going locally extinct, we have a problem, because we are big predators that eat fish.

If predators are not anymore to do their jobs, we can safely predict that next-in-list group of preys will start suffering from major epidemics... that lead us directly to summer 2022:

"More than 150 sea lions have been found sick or dead along Oregon’s coast due to a bacterial outbreak of Leptospirosis this summer" [2].

"Hundreds of dead or dying sea lions have washed up on the beaches of Peru since January 2023 affected by bird flu" [3]

So it seems that what we have here is an ecosystem eroding and collapsing over the next lower level like a house of cards. Probably because there is a serious problem with the trophic chain that lead animals unable to trigger a good immune response. The wave will travel slowly toward the basis until eventually losing momentum and stopping. If the most affected seals were the older ones and the sample was focused in stranded animals, we would have a direct alternative explanation for the bigger skulls: Bad sampling.

[1] As they are pelagic and just sink on open sea most of the effect was silent and missed.

They already have to optimize for docked/undocked modes separately anyway since it's rendering different resolutions using different hardware speeds depending on whether it's docked or not. There's already a mobile optimized hardware with the Switch Lite too, is it really that much of a stretch to make a dock-optimized version?

Besides, the Steam Deck has shown that even very demanding high end games designed without any consideration for mobile hardware can be sufficiently scaled down to run on mobile hardware (and mobile hardware has gotten powerful enough where the tradeoffs are tolerable).
But their app is not user-repairable, it is closed source :)

Okay, I don't want to be seen as a FairPhone hater. Actually I'm quite impressed and quite happy that they turned out to be more than an over-hyped vaporware prototype, and they actually deliver.
that's a glorious way of saying "UIs with outputs from static prompts to GPT"
Wrong.

I've used every emulator except the switch emu, and not only do you not randomly lose saves, you can duplicate, move them, etc.

I've used emulators on laptops, desktops, phones, etc.

And I have even transferred saves between them and never had an issue.

I have- right now, saves over 20+ years old.
Nice, I need my kids to study this:

One day you’ll find yourself drinking an iced beverage. The ice belongs in the glass, not your mouth, but should ice enter your mouth, it should not return to the glass.

Maybe add: It should not go into your hands or slide over the table. If it really is to big and cold for the mouth, just suffer through it or quietly walk (do not run) to the toilet to remove it.

Some things are cultural though, like:

Kissing a Girl on the Cheek

One day you’ll find yourself kissing a girl on the cheek. This is great, sophisticated fun, but unless she’s your significant other, your lips and her cheek should not actually touch.

Cheek-to-cheek contact is fine as is the much-maligned “air kiss.”
The search warrant (posted elsewhere on this thread) answers this question.

He bought the plane specifically for this stunt a few weeks before, he did not use his normal plane. He paid $5,000 for the plane and $5,000 for the helicopter recovery of the wreckage. He received $8,000 from the Ridge Wallet sponsorship.

Here's the relevant quotes-

>Inspector Krantz provided me a receipt he
obtained from the company Ridge Wallet. The receipt showed an
$8,000 payment to JACOB for the sponsored ad shown on JACOB’s
YouTube video.

> An FAA Aircraft Bill of Sale for N29508,
Taylorcraft BL65, serial number 2351 showed that, effective
October 06, 2021, Laura Smith (seller) transferred ownership of
the aircraft to JACOB (purchaser). The sale price listed on the
form was $5,000.

> On January 05, 2022, Sinton provided Krantz a
written statement via e-mail. I reviewed the statement and
learned the following: (1) JACOB called SINTON a few days before
December 10, 2021, to lift his wrecked Taylorcraft airplane out
of the forest; (2) JACOB said he was cleared to salvage the
plane; (3) On December 10, 2021, Sinton flew his helicopter and
met JACOB and a friend at Rancho Siquoc (Santa Maria,
California); (4) Sinton flew JACOB and his friend to the
wreckage and dropped them off with straps and shackles; (5)
Sinton landed in an open field nearby, put on the helicopter
long line and returned to the wreckage site; (6) Sinton hooked
onto the plane and flew it to JACOB’s trailer; (7) Sinton sent
JACOB an invoice for $4,950; and (8) On December 31, 2021,
JACOB’s friend “Steve Dozier” paid Sinton $5,000 on behalf of
JACOB.
Yeah, that calculation is a bit bonkers, but the 6a is available for ~330 € and I'm pondering to buy one.

My problem is usually the lack of security updates with phones in this price band (last year's model or whatever) but according to a quick research it should get security updates through October '26.

And yeah, I know that 330€ is one category higher than 250$ - but I still refuse to pay 500+ for a phone that I hardly use. My only problem is that if 2FA and banking require one, I want to have security updates.
> What's your reasoning as to why one couldn't

Simply put, because it's a license incompatible with the GPL, as it literally says so on the page of the creators of the GPL, Wikipedia, etc.

> if we grant Linus's reasoning re: AFS as it applies to ZFS?

You are the one claiming that Linus reasoning implies the AFS code combined with the Linux kernel _can be distributed_. Linux is not actually saying that in the post you quoted. I am asking for where he says that.

> Linux kernel community has seen fit to give its assurances re: other clarifications/exceptions. See the COPYING file.

It doesn't really matter; not one individual can grant "an exception" unless it was already allowed to begin with (the GPL _explicitly_ grants the system library exception). Linus even says so in the very beginning of the post you quoted ("No such exception exists. There's a clarification [...]").
I was also wondering and think it is good-practice if that is mentioned by any grant-offering institution. Institution? That is not mentioned either. There is only an address. Is it a non-profit, for-profit, who is working there?
He was a licensed pilot. It's unlikely he thought he hadn't done anything wrong.

He also repeatedly told the FAA and the NTSB he didn't know where the plane was -- whilst he was in fact cutting it up in his garage...

I ran tech support for the elderly a couple years ago. There was a ridiculous amount of people who were still on Windows 7 because they bought their laptop in 2012 and only use it to exchange emails with their grandkids, do their banking and read the news. They never bought anything new or did any major upgrades because their system doesn't "feel old" so they see no use for it.

This is also why XPs complete ESR support ended in 2019. What I just said about people also applies to certain organizations like governments, who'd rather pay through the nose for that ESR support than upgrade.

That's just the reality of it all. There's a reason why Android is so extremely pushy with installing updates to Chrome et al. in the background (and why Androids old OS depreciation process is so slow) - users just flat out don't update their software or their hardware if they don't feel the need to.

EOL from a company means nothing. People will absolutely stick on years old hardware if they can help it as long as it works for them, and you're going to still be the one on the hook unless it's truly ancient tech. (We're currently at the point where if someone uses Vista, you could probably tell them to update? Keep in mind that Vista got EOLed in 2016. Windows 7 is kinda heading in that direction, but I'm not seeing that happen until another 2 to 3 years have passed at least).
The fact that it wasn't a controlled crash it's what's most alarming -- a plane crash could be achieved legally using qualified stunt professionals etc -- he just parachuted out of a plane leaving the plane to it's own devices. While unlikely it's possible that plane could have crashed in to a person killing them.
Well, insulin doesn't have that going against it because you can just buy it from Walmart. It doesn't require any people on the street.

But the recreational use thing is huge indeed—the fact that adderall is so potent, desirable and dangerous is what earned it a spot on Schedule II. The reason why people are "treated like addicts" is because people think all addicts are the same.

There are different reasons to be addicted to a substance, and not all of them are bad. Say, if the substance legitimately helps you by making your brain function properly, as does ADHD treatment, it should be okay to be addicted. Who wouldn't be addicted to feeling like their brain is finally working properly?

But being addicted to a substance just because it feels good, with no regard for your personal safety or health (i.e. overdosing constantly) is reckless and dangerous, and this is what people think of when they think "addict". This is also, unfortunately, what comes to mind whenever one sees someone enjoying their ADHD medication.

They compare it to the enjoyment of someone who is well and truly fucking themselves with some neurotoxic substance like meth or cocaine—short-lived euphoria that goes away once the drug stops manufacturing good feelings for them, not true satisfaction with their self.

It's sad, really. Though I'm not surprised that people can't see the nuance.

> I’ve decided to entirely disregard the suggested measurements provided in recipes, which means that I guess I’ve decided not to follow recipes at all anymore.

When I want to cook something new I'll grab several recipes and compare the ingredients and relative measures to get a meta-concept of what constitutes the fundamental essence of that dish. I use that as a base reference but actually cook by intuition/taste.

For me a recipe is mainly a list of ingredients, with the execution being a matter of personal preference.

Indeed, it seemed on the verge of collapse once the curtain was pulled back. I can’t see how a regulation monopoly would have done anything more than make its implosion that much bigger and influence more of economic and political structure as more entities would have become intertwined, pulled by the gravity of greed.

Multinational tech firm ABB hit by Black Basta ransomware attack
Yes! It also means privileging exploration over combat and discouraging min/max type character builds. I think it's a really great addition and ditching it would make BOTW a very different (and IMO much worse) game
> They used to be communist. Communism generally gave women much more equality than most traditional societies

Only partially true. Yes, women were equal to men in many regards, being accepted to work in pretty much positions (there were even women fighting in the army during the big wars), had the same rights and etc. but, and this is a massive but, it was on top of their "traditional" roles, and the opposite didn't apply. Meaning that women were equal and free to work as whatever, but also expected that women fulfil the vast majority of traditionally female roles (nursing, teaching, etc.) while also being the primary caretaker of children. As an example, maternity leave in the Eastern Block was usually 1 year and more (e.g. in Bulgaria it was 1+1+1 years, and still is but with massive caveats for 2nd and 3rd year around money), while paternity leave was practically non-existent. Spousal relations were also pretty conservative (e.g. domestic abuse, up to and including marital rape, was fine).

So women were more equal in some, mostly economic, aspects, but not at all in other, mostly social aspects.
The problem with HTC is the multitude of models (or maybe it's a more recent thing). I've not had one for a while, but the Tattoo (in 2009, very early) was really good for the price and the Desire Z was downright fantastic. I have heard stories of other meh experiences as well though.
And the kicker (for me at least): let's endanger a bunch of humans today who get no say in the experiment to possibly save lots of them tomorrow, which in reality is just more tech bros enriching themselves at the ultimate expense to others. It's disgusting beyond belief.
IDK, mobile games don't tend to have a spending cap. On most PC/console releases the most you can spend on a game is few hundred for the game and all the DLC bought day 1 and usually goes down as time goes on. Mobile games will have one gem bundle or whatever that costs more than the complete package of a PC/console title. So you can easily get whales spending thousands on one game. The financials tell me mobile games are better at extracting money from their audience or a subset rather but that's kind of how they feel to play! Everything is geared towards extracting money.
Imagine trying to find the perfect Linndrum snare sample.
Japanese are also extremely attached to their past and culture, which shows up in the game how its almost like a modern mythical representation of both old japanese myths and an obsession with technology.

There, is that racist too?

The result is beautiful, I love the whole "ancient technology" concept in it, which is not something we have in our world (except for pyramids perhaps).

The case of the AirPods Pro 2 is pretty much an AirTag.
Yeah this is why I never picked BOTW back up, I'd no longer remember anything. I keep meaning to, I just haven't done so, and each time I consider it, it seems like too much to take on that weekend. I did beat 3 of the 4 Divine Beasts before that. I know I never tackled the Castle or the DLC.

At least with the sequel it's kind of expected I start fresh.
Once upon a time I told my computer what to do. If I give this stuff so much as a hairs width of room it will try to tell me what to do. The needy software that tries to push its way into your life is everywhere. Very frustrating to me is that I feel that I've helped bring a part of this into this world.

The internet gave us advertising free direct peer-to-peer communications in text, video and audio and then took it all away again.

I think the article says: "Some scientists think that sometimes it may be better to tell your immune system to take it slow, such that you have fewer symptoms caused by the immune response".

We are already doing this, no?

Every time we take medication that lowers our fever during an infection (antipyretic ), we trade a bit of immune response for a much more comfortable illness.

The other aspect of this is that carrying more pathogen, for longer, increases the chance that you will infect others.

No, outcomes are everything. Intent is second to that when it comes to society rather than to a case of law.

It looks like a much more specialized system than Ansible in this case.

More specialized systems may bring the burden that they are harder to debug (Ansible is also astonishing hard to read the debugs' -vvv output btw.) but with the benefit to be better suited for the specialized job.

And as long as you've got the sources, you can easily put it under version control. I fail to see why this should be only possible with python scripts and yaml files and not with shell scripts.

> Switch piracy is very limited, but they pursue it aggressively because of the losses it causes them? Besides, that's already bunk; every time someone actually puts together a study it turns out that piracy is good for sales.

They don't lose much because some difficulty is maintained by them pursuing it aggressively.

Once piracy become as easy or easier as buying the games, yes it becomes a problem for them.

The same way Napster became a problem at some point for the music industry. Before Napster, getting music for free was about copy cds or cassette tapes from friends or library, a rather slow and limited process, or wait for the tunes to pass in the radio and hit the record button quickly to record it in a cassette at a lower quality than CD. And you didn't have the full deal (with cover and lyrics and stuffs that mattered at the time). When it became easier to just look for music in Napster's builtin search engine and start playing it even before the tune was downloaded completely it became a huge problem as it was a much seamless process than both the original illegal and the legal way which involved either to go to a store and hope the right disc was available or go to one of the very few music online music shop available at the time, enter your credit card details (something very few people were still comfortable with) and wait for the disc to be delivered. I think there were already a few digital marketplace available but you usually had to wait for the full download to be completed, the UI wasn't as easy and you couldn't just browse another user shared library to discover new stuff and get suggestions.
not everyone will do this though. security is meant for the idiot users
maybe i am missing something but this is old news for embeddable common lisp. see threading section in this article from 1994[0], or is this extreme-threading different somehow? there is also a recent llvm-based implementation [1] that aims for direct lisp-cpp interface.

i know my usage of the word "just" might suggest otherwise but i am not trying to deminish this feat. i use common lisp for scientific work and whenever i hear about something cool in another language i ask myself can i do this with my toolset. this is the reason i am asking this.

This is what I got using your prompt.

>The word "COCOLOCO" doesn't have a specific meaning in the English language, as it's likely a made-up or fictional word. However, it is common for people to use nonsensical words or phrases as passwords to increase their security, as they are less likely to be guessed or hacked.
Cxxwrap was broken for a while there, maybe a few years? Maybe it was cxx... I forget, whichever one let you have a c++ repl. But yea I'd argue that it's a pretty common use case to embed Julia in c++. This has been possible for a long time, Julia is written in C after all, but it's hard to do meaningfully because of Julia's GC. You have to do a lot of sketchy stuff to ensure values don't get deleted as you call for them via ffi. This might surprise you but you can do this with pretty much any other languages, usually with far less RAM consumption and JIT interruptions though...

> For anyone wondering why the FAA yanked his license.

1) attached multiple cameras to the craft (not illegal but suspect)

2) Wearing a sports parachute (there uncomfortable as hell and he never wore any chute on any other flight)

3) opened the side door before claiming any engine failure.

4) made no attempt to restart engine

5) made no attempt to find a safe landing spot even though there were multiple landing areas in easy gliding distance

6) jumped out of the plan with a selfie stick which is not normal behaviour during a crisis .

7) Made his way to the wreck and took all the cameras

8) had the wreck disposed of before contact the authorities .

9) made no attempt to communicate on emergency frequency

None of which deals with the fact he had fire extinguishers strapped to his legs since that not technically illegal or the deliberate crashing of his plane into national reserve.
> Do what no-med you wants to do?

One of the big problems with ADHD is usually that you can't complete personal goals and tasks because it's too much effort to switch to it. For example, hobby projects and such.

ADHD sort of... disagrees with you over what it finds worth doing versus what you want to do. It can make you feel like you're not in control of your own body, and that can lead to dysphoria and depression, or at the very least intrusive thoughts that you're not doing something that you should be.

For example, I've been working on an image upscaler for the past three weeks or so. Would I have been able to do that without my meds? Probably not. I will probably even end up finishing it soon.

While I'm writing this comment (and indeed, while I hung out on HN all day today) I've been thinking of the work I'm not doing and then just... being okay with it, because I'm on my meds and I know I'll be able to get to it.

I've even been making little steps throughout the day whenever I felt like a moment, but I'm not afraid to take breaks or do what I enjoy at the moment, because I know I have a choice.

If I weren't on my meds... it'd be a different story. I'd be at the mercy of whatever my ADHD felt was worth doing, and it'd feel a lot less reassuring.

Being medicated during leisure time is important, too.
> These days, for some strange reason

The reason is called social progress. Even though some people are reactionary and idolise "the golden age", whenever they imagine it being, in general most developed societies have seen massive social progress. Rolling it back so that women can get back to being baby-making machines is... impractical and cruel.
