I fixed it by drinking concentrated lemon juice (one lemon in one coup) thirty minutes before every food. There were not enough stomach juices for proper digestion, and stomach tries to push undigested food out after while. Lemon juice triggers stomache juice excretion and helps to start it. It has to be concerned, mild will just dilute juices.
Yes, but the issue of a key being weak (using a compromised cipher, having too little entropy, etc) is orthogonal to how the actual communication works. If your key is weak for any reason, the encryption and signatures of your messages may be worthless, and that's what warnings should be about. Also, on incoming messages, if they have the same problem, there could be at least a warning about the key not being secure enough/cipher being old or compromised. I'll decrypt the message, but beware. That kind of warning.

The difficult part, of course, is that since there's no official approved way to have a remote/online keysigning party, communicating newly-generated keys to others in a trustworthy and secure way may surely prove to be a problem.

Ah, here is our disagreement. I see what you mean but I'm not totally convinced by that.. reasoning isn't just being able to verbalize the steps you take, which llms can do but more so the steps themselves, and in my experience llms can fail in that department. Maybe they are somewhere between intelligent and not intelligent? In my opinion that's far more likely, as most things are not usually binaries but spectrums in our world.

Perhaps profitability is not the right measure to determine success.
I’m 47 and on track to pay off my student loan next year. I would be mostly ok with some form of forgiveness but only if it came with the end of government backed or subsidized student loans in all their forms. That’s how things got out of control, there’s no risk to lenders and so the schools can raises prices indefinitely.
Bad news: Almost all spiders are technically venomous, in that they have venom glands that produce a toxin they use to incapacitate their prey.

Good news: Very few (like about 6) spider families are potentially dangerous to humans. Most spiders rarely bite us, or their fangs are not big enough to penetrate our skin, or their venom is not potent enough or voluminous enough to hurt us.

Spiders have a bad rap. I'd much rather have spiders in my house than flies or mosquitos.

Thank you! That was a very extensive and informative reply.
It seems like these types of tools will quickly proliferate any kind of meaningful AI tooling, which makes more sense to me than the idea of getting the best result from a single offhanded request. I haven't used GPT a lot, but from my experience, a response or prompt from earlier in the conversation can taint the rest of the output since the LLM will try to keep a consistent tone.
Yeah lol. Sometimes called Espresso Machine Engineer. Basically, the people who provide commercial espresso machines (usually a roaster) offer the cafes (and offices etc) installation, service and repairs. The Coffee Engineer goes out and goes that work.

Medium and long term, you would likely go self employed and then the roasters contract work out to you.
By saying the government isn't allow to video or photo surveil someone's home without a warrant.

I switched in the opposite direction, from an engineering role to software development. My engineering role wasn't exactly manual labour, but at least I had to deal with real hardware sometimes, the joy of which I wrote about in another thread recently [1].

Overall I believe the amount of manual labour had little to do with my job satisfaction ever. For me it is more about building stuff that others find useful and I need to be involved in much of the process. If you never see the outcome of your work it's probably inevitable to find it pointless at some point. If you only ever deal with the outcome of others (like in sales) you might find it pointless as well (at least I did).

Coming back to your question: I think it is generally believed that jobs with manual labour often enable one to build things from start to finish or at least be responsible for a closed tangible process (like maybe being a coffee engineer) while information work rarely does.

I, for one, am not convinced that is the case and I would like to encourage you to at least look into possibilities that give you satisfaction while still being adequately paid (which manual labour is very rarely). As a physicist you have the best prerequisites one can imagine.

After some digging I discovered something. This error happens when occurrence API returns 400 Bad Request error. This led me to identify two scenarios in which it can happen:

1. When a query is sent while another query is being processed, it consistently triggers a 400 bad request error. Subsequent queries also yield the same error code.

2. Although less common, random queries can sometimes result in a Bad Request error. I do not know how helpful this information is, but I can provide the chat_id associated with the instance: 677cfad3-5084-40d0-81d0-08592b5927f5.
My favorite tactic was to monopolize SmithOre, and then buy/release all the MULEs so everyone after me couldn't build anything. Apparently a need for MULEs causes SmithOre to skyrocket.
I mean the gold standard of business funding is state funding, a state's department of economic development is incentivized/mandated to create large sustainable businesses that bring in outside income and provide lots of jobs, they come with very few strings, they have an extremely long horizon, they have connections to state universities if you need r&d, and the loans are usually "no recourse."

There's a reason the line for these loans is a mile long. A middle grounds between anarchy and centrally planned economy does exist.

While someone could privately conduct the surveillance and sell it to the police... they then become agents of the police, given that the police are the only reasonable market for such recordings. (The other possible market is hoping that stalkers want to buy it for select locations... after the first incident, legislation would quickly shut it down.)

Others in the past have noted that the police would be permitted to stake out the address in person, without warrant or much oversight. But the number of cops is finite, there are natural limits to how often and how long they can do that. There is no limit to how many cameras that police departments might collectively buy. There are plausible scenarios where multiple cameras are aimed at every address in the country. All of this can be stored indefinitely.

It amounts to warrantless search.
There's plenty of local action that can be taken that aren't really about 'quarterly profits'.

Yeah I'd love to know what this is aiming for over WezTerm, which already supports both WebGPU and OpenGL rendering. Maybe just that it is closer to being able to run in a browser?

I have to take a moment to just evangelize WezTerm a bit. I switched over from iTerm in the last few months and IMO WezTerm's absolute killer feature is its Lua-based configuration. You can do so much with it, down to running scripts on key binds, and the API is powerful enough to do virtually anything you want. For example I have some key binds that act differently when the active pane is running emacs vs. a shell.
I see zero reason why humans could not succeed in dealing with climate change. Will we be able to control the climate fully - no, but probably get closer to engineering our planet properly rather than by accident.
I worked 2 jobs basically the entire time I was in school. At one point it was 3 jobs. I was also a reservist in the military. I didn't go on any vacations, I worked through the summers, and I spent very little on joyous things. It was mostly just on school.

I have $70k in loans. I also paid a boatload of cash directly to my tuition so my loans weren't even the full price.

I don't care if it isn't supposed to be easy. It wasn't and to the day I am struggling with it. Something has to change. You can act like its a moral failure on the students' part all you want but that doesn't make this system sensible or sustainable.

How is this not the biggest deal in the PC world? I've long been looking for a reason to switch from Mac, but two things kept me in Apple's ecosystem:

1. M1 + iPhone integration (the half-assed hands-off feature)

2. Shitty UI+UX on Windows + Ads

At the same time, I have come to realize that our interaction with computers is going to get more and more natural thanks to large language models. If Windows Copilot doesn't get neutered just like Bing AI did, I'm seriously going to consider switching back to Windows.

I get that Apple has different priorities, but I can't justify their inaction in this area over the past several years.
I have to imagine they have a huge impact on the ecosystem. When I saw them in Mexico (near Puerto Vallarta), they had blanketed over the entire trail with dense webs.

An early company has to spend money on the core product. If you get wacked by a lawsuit and shut down in year 2, it's a cost of doing business and you go do something else.

Not if you account for inflation it doesn't.

And you're basically gambling with adjustable rates; it may be lower... now... but I can work with 1% more over 15-30 years, esp. if the pay rate stays the same but my salary gets occasional inflation-based adjustments.
Yep, I had a terrible diet a few years ago which flared up some moderate acid reflux whenever I had certain sugary drinks. Fanta and Coke were the worst for me. I think the likely culprit was the aspartame. I very rarely drink those types of beverages now and I don't have acid reflux anymore.

I'm no fan of pump-and-dump VCs but this is silly. There's good benefit if venture capital is done well. You don't just wake up and scream to abolish everything that's flawed.

Anyways, this article was written by someone who previously worked at Vice News, a media company that just filed for bankruptcy and lit over $1 billion of VC funding on fire...the author has contributed their fair share to abolishing venture capital.
Good luck prosecuting a scammer in a foreign country. We need penalties for the telecom services providing access. Right know it's trivial for someone to get a ton of numbers and starting making calls over SIP. You shut them off, they'll just go to another provider.
I'd encourage looking at actual average student loan debt, which in my reading is significantly different than the typical online narrative. According to the DoE[1], in 2018 the average debt of a public university Bachelor's degree completer was $26,100. That's not 'lifelong debt slavery', that's a Toyota Corolla.

PC demand has been falling way before COVID. I guess it has been so since at least 2013. I even remember some people assigning it to windows 8.

Actually, the real reason are changes in usage patterns. Most people today don't have to buy a computer. They can do everything they need with mobile phones, smartv's, smart devices and whatever other device is more adequate.

The explosive rise in popularity of the late 90's and early 2000's was just because a full blown computer was the most convenient device to access the internet. Now that people have options, there are less people buying the device they don't actually need.

What we are seeing, indeed, is that things are going back to what is normal. Most people really don't need a computer.
It is easy to ask, it is nearly impossible for every partner to actually install it. Many were working in locked down environments where they would need to get some very unhelpful central IT team to approve new software and install it on workstations. Even if they could convince the central IT team to install 7zip they probably weren’t using configuration management to install it so there was a chance someone would forget to install 7zip while provisioning new workstations. Unfortunately, when you do not know who is going to consume the data you need to use the most common denominator which is still zip with deflate64.
We're committing acts of war against those countries and leaving their people to die. If we were putting poison in their water, blowing up dams to flood valleys, or destroying their crops directly it would be an atrocity, but apparently doing it with a layer of indirection in the middle makes it OK.
Create a budget for a new startup. How much do you spend on each function?

I haven't switched. I still mostly do software engineering. But I did burn out on my job in a toxic workplace and quit with nothing quite so formal as a plan.

Before picking up more software work ~6mo later, I got certified as an EMT and started volunteering on the ambulance at a local service. It has been a really great choice. I work with excellent people in a job very different from my remote software one. I wouldn't call it manual labor by any stretch, but it has a very different physicality and interpersonal nature than engineering that makes it very rewarding for me.

There's no reason on paper to spend whole days volunteering doing something you're not the best at. Doesn't matter.

This is what has always confused me about the student debt conversation. $25,000 is not a lot of debt. That's about what it cost to get a brand new Toyota Corolla. On top of which, the terms of this debt is very favorable. PAYE, low interest rates (mind were 6.8%, which was outrageous at the time but now we're entering a more inflationary / normal interest rate world), and are termed for 20+ years.

There is also a lot of debt taken on by graduate students. To be clear, only around 30% of Americans overall have even a bachelor's degree. The need to take on graduate school debt just simply isn't there in the way the taking on debt for undergraduate is. So I think these numbers should break out graduate students, especially those who went into high-earning professions with credential gatekeepers, like medicine (law is debatable -- we've minted way too many lawyers).

> these sound like issues with poorly done modals.

There is no other kind. The whole idea of modal window is stupid. It constrains the user instead of empowering them.

Solve the server's problems some other way that doesn't impact the user.

These days almost everything is a single page application so instead of opening a modal window just expand the button that would have opened the window inline instead.

> One key design principle of modals is to make them mentally cheap to open/close/reopen

Cheap for whom?
Basically yes. "Memorized" is wrong in the sense that neural networks, when they work well, learn an approximation of a function and often give the right answer for cases that they haven't seen before. It's a danger though that a network will "overfit" and memorize examples and not generalize to ones it hasn't seen.

The argument that "chatbots can't create anything new" is completely bogus (and is often tied up in a fetishization of creativity), there is no fundamental reason one can't attempt a literary task like "Write a play in the style of Shakespeare set in Russia's October Revolution". On the other hand it can't (correctly) make up factual information that it hasn't been trained on: ChatGPT on it's own resources can't talk about who won the Superbowl or Premier League this year because it hasn't seen any documents about it.

Note it doesn't have to be words, the same strategy works amazing well for images and audio, see

Other comments are saying non-capturing closures are not closures. If we want to have this pedantic argument of definitions: proto_lambda is actually right, with Rust's definition of closures.

According to the Rust reference:

> A closure expression produces a closure value with a unique, anonymous type that cannot be written out.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types/closure.html

Even a non-capturing closure is written using a closure expression and produces a unique, anonymous type.

Is it normal to publish a personal anecdote in this manner? I've never seen something like this on pubmed.
Actually the sun still edges out Mercury.

Think of it this way: If we take the Earth as stationary and just look at the respective motions of the Sun and Mercury, then the Sun is also (roughly) stationary* and Mercury moves around and around it, sometimes close to us and sometimes far.

Now, if Mercury actually yo-yo'ed through the Sun, then you'd be right: exactly half the time it would be closer to us, and half the time it would be further from us.

But it doesn't yo-yo through the Sun, it moves in a circle. When it's 90º from us and the Sun, it's still further away from us than the Sun is. So it has to get even closer before it's equidistant. So it's actually closer to us only less than half of the time.

*Yes, the Sun would also appear to orbit around the gravitational center of mass, but this doesn't affect the thinking above.
