I live in Mexico and get prescriptions at Mexican pharmacies. This really hasn’t seemed like a problem at all.

I’m not even sure if most of the medications are manufactured here. There was a supply chain shortage for Clonazepam where it was hard to find for a while and when it came back the provider was different.
Zoho mail worked great for me when I did that (I only switched to Gandi mail because it was free…). $1/user/month and I used it with 4 domains.
You’re going to want to read your own link if you’re going to keep using that as some sort of proof.
That's exactly how it works. Power plants are not even using the same cycle, it's brayton vs carnot. And power plants have a much higher efficiency overall, often two or more times higher than ICE engines.

My grandma has email but no chance she figures out kbin or Lemmy. Think of your average (or less) user. Download app to phone. Sign up. Go. Much more than that and they drop off pretty quick. Picking an “instance” to jojn? Nope. That instance can vanish, then sub average user X is baffled. Deletes app. Logs back in. Frustration. Goes off to fap or find another app that is perceptibly easier. Especially if their friends and family use it.

This reminded me of another story [0] (discussed on HN [1]) about debugging hanging U-Boot when booting from 1.8 volt SD cards, but not from 3.0 volt SD cards, where the solution involved a kernel patch that actually introduced a delay during boot, by "hardcoding a delay in the regulator setup code (set_machine_constraints)." (In fact it sounded so similar that I actually checked if that patch caused the bug in the OP, but they seem unrelated.)

The story is a wild one, and begins with what looks like a patch with a hacky workaround:

> The patch works around the U-Boot bug by setting the signal voltage back to 3.0V at an opportune moment in the Linux kernel upon reboot, before control is relinquished back to U-Boot.

But wait... it was "the weirdest placebo ever!" Turns out the only reason this worked was because:

> all this setting did was to write a warning to the kernel log... the regulator was being turned off and on again by regulator code, and that writing that line took long enough to be a proper delay to have the regulator reach its target voltage.

The full story is well worth a read.

Ask HN: Anyone on the Amazon Selling Partner API Team? No Response over a Week
We have a very urgent issue since our application has been in a "suppressed state" and new/existing customers are unable to authorize/reauthorize with our Amazon Selling Partner application for over a week now. We have been following up on our case repeatedly with no response. We have also opened multiple cases to try and get their attention but they just get closed and merged. It feels like we’re in a state of purgatory. Can anyone on the team please look into our case ID: 12961532901 and help escalate? Thank you
I suspect the robot car will get beaten up outside philly.
One of the most frustrating things is how the group advocating inaction was successfully able to spread the view that climate scientists and the IPCC were being alarmist.

In truth they were being conservative and overly cautious.
Can you provide numbers for each of those? ICE thermal efficiency vs Combined Cycle Gas Turbine efficiency, transmission losses per 100 km and expected total, battery roundtrip efficiency, electric motor efficiency?
Seeing the 'Moving company from Florida' triggered me. I was scammed by a moving company from Florida in 2020, and I did a deep dive to look into them and I found huge networks of moving companies, scammers, & reviewers, all in cahoots.

I actually managed to get one company's fake reviews removed from google maps, bringing them from a 4.8+ to a 1.x overnight. Within a few months they were back to > 4, but the owners had sold the company and started a new one.

It's insane how deep this goes. At best it's done by companies that want to cheat the system by getting an unfairly good review, but at its worst it's used to trick users into a false sense of confidence so that they can be scammed.

Of course they do, and anyone who is confused by their marketing into thinking otherwise is just plain blind. The last someone "beat that drum" was none other than the british competition regulator aka CMA not _two months ago_, which among maaany other things literally complained Microsoft was still using their monopoly power to prevent gaming on desktop Linux.

I'm guessing that the charges were likely dropped because they couldn't prove that the truck suddenly entered a lane of traffic, having no right-of-way, and leaving the oncoming vehicle no time to stop.

Go read the damn twitter files. That is the source.

Are you questioning the veracity of the data given in the twitter files? Because even the executive branch didn’t do that.
I believe you are correct. I could probably remove the imports altogether, and just prefix those functions with `Phoenix.LiveView`.
Even if the grid were entirely fueled by coal, 31% less energy would be needed to charge EVs than to fuel gasoline cars. If EVs were charged by natural gas, the total energy demand for highway transportation would fall by nearly half. Add in hydropower or other renewables, and the result gets even better, saving up to three-fourths of the energy currently used by gasoline-powered vehicles.

Blobs is an iOS app we built using SwiftUI and Unity with each system managing different parts of the mobile UI concurrently, much like apps that will be on  Vision Pro.
Untrue. Power plants can be 50-60% efficient (and up to 90% if the waste heat is used for district heating). Meanwhile car ICEs are at best 25-30% efficient (slightly more for diesels). Even with transmission losses of 4-6% and electric car charging/discharging losses of 10-20% the EV comes out ahead even when fired with fossil fuels and saddled with 500 pounds of extra weight.

San Francisco already spends half a billion dollars per year on homeless services, which comes to 50k-75k per homeless individual per year. Is there reason to believe that more spending would actually fix homelessness, when most other cities spend less and have less of a homeless problem?

> I am really interested in the social-political dimension of this. Was the initial hypothesis of a lab leak suppressed during the initial part of the pandemic primarily due to Western government's fear of a diplomatic breakdown (like Russia) with China? The economies are far more interdependent than compared to Russia and there is a far more economically important Chinese diaspora in the West.

I wonder to what extent the hypothesis has been shutdown because the people who were considered to be qualified to make that assessment are interested in the continuation of gain-of-function research.

> What would it take to get a honest investigation within China? Presumably not under the current regime

You answered it yourself, impossible under the CCP. It seems that they convinced their population that the virus has actually emerged somewhere in the west, and that was the end of it for them.

> I would also point out that if someone has purchased life insurance, they have explicitly made a decision about the cost of a life when they choose the amount of insurance they are willing to take on.

This doesn't follow. It's not as if you're only allowed to purchase life insurance if it somehow accounts for the entire "cost of your life", whatever that is. I doubt most policies and policy-buyers attempt to achieve that, though some might.

[EDIT] To expand a bit, I'm pretty sure a lot of policies are purchased with goal-oriented thinking, and that goal's usually not "account for the cost of the life": for an older person, it might be "ensure end-of-life expenses are covered". For a younger one, it might be "make sure my family's OK until they can recover from the loss, which I guesstimate to require $X" or "make sure my family can afford to remain where they are at least until the kids are out of school"
I think this is ignoring that something that pops up in the Long Tail can go viral and become a block buster.

One example from the days of the origin of the Long Tail was Bollywood movies.

There aren't enough fans of Bollywood in one geographic location to warrant dedicating a whole theater to a showing. (I'm ignoring regional pockets, of course).

However, if a movie gets lot of views online, that might boost it up the tail into the attention of more casual fans. In turn, they might boost-like it into more mainstream etc.

That was much more difficult in the past where even if there was a lot of word of mouth praise, you still had the geographic distances.
That's true. They still can't without eye tracking and physically moving lenses. I've seen a prototype in the news that could do that. But of course it's mechanically highly complex. Perhaps liquid/gel lenses could do the same job (similar to how our eyes work).

I've never heard of this actually causing harm though, except some questions were raised about kids whose eyes are still developing. It would be similar to looking through a microscope or binoculars for hours, which is not unheard of in human history (e.g. researchers, lookouts on ships)
It would probably illuminate the situation to realise that no-one I know personally is "1 bad month away from being homeless".

I don't think that this is unusual.

Staving off the obvious retort - I don't have some sort of silver spoon upbringing, my parents and childhood peers are supermarket workers, bus drivers etc.

People I know and socialise with just spend within their means, live in places that aren't hilariously expensive, have an emergency fund etc. They plan their lives around being able to provide for themselves and not burdening others.

Very few people I know could afford to live a normal life somewhere like SF.

I don't think that homeless people are subhuman as some people here mention, that's clearly a strawman. But I don't consider them to be my peers either. Their life choices, both past and present, are completely baffling to me.
In fairness, one good thing about commercialisation is that if they don’t produce the goods in the end, it fails. In pure research it can go unnoticed much longer.

I think this says way more about you than the teammates you're condescending to. I've never had someone "get angry, and push back" when you simply and clearly explain "things have changed here...X isn't the command you want and you need to use Y, and here's how you do it". But I get that a mentor-like approach doesn't let you polish you BOFH creds and put the contemptable little people in their place.
+1 for removing imports!

Not that importing is useless but single-use imports drive me a bit nuts. Even just using it a few times. It's nice to be able to jump to some code and know exactly where everything is coming from without having to jump around the file.
It is unbelievable that so many people's exchanges of opinions accumulated over the years have been blown away by a single strike like this.
It is true that there is a problem with Reddit's operating policy. But it is run by a private company. Actions to monetize sometimes happen.
It's not the attitude of a responsible modder to just blow up a subreddit that has thousands, maybe millions of users. Now that the 48-hour strike is over, we're making it a public reddit, at least for users to decide which platform to migrate to or to keep the status quo. And, in my opinion, no matter which platform you choose, a dependency on the platform operating company is unavoidable.
it's off the home row, and isn't available on Apple keyboards by default without also using the Fn modifier, at which point it's only different by one keystroke, not two.
Electric vehicles are supposed to eventually emit half of the total CO2e compared to ICE vehicles, but importantly that's as calculated over the entire expected lifetime of the compared vehicles. The manufacturing process massively frontloads the EV's emissions such that if you only keep it for ~5 years, you actually end up worse off emissions-wise than if you were driving an economy ICE vehicle. Then there's externalities such as increased damage to roads (asphalt is still a petroleum product), microplastics off tires entering waterways, etc., due to EVs' higher weight.

It makes more sense in almost every case, if you're concerned about emissions, to just buy used whenever possible. This applies across many kinds of products.

Circular economy and cutting excess production are way more effective for mitigating emissions than buying new $SHINY_GADGETs but the nascent cultural default is to buy new because of this or that feel-good ads campaign and/or some kind of stigma around buying things that were previously someone else's.

I don't have the full text of that comment, as they've edited it our, so I don't know specifically what they said. But perhaps they just don't know everything about how Yelp operates; it's not a small company where everyone knows everything.

I also know someone who previously worked at Yelp, and they've talked about some of Yelp's shady internal practices. Everything is not all above-board there.
the one that I used for GPT-4 and the local ones was a bit obscure:

"how to configure internal pull-up resistor on PCA9557 from NXP in firmware"

the GPT4 would give a paragraph of

> The PCA9557 from NXP is an 8-bit I/O expander with an I2C interface. This device does not have an internal pull-up resistor on its I/O pins, but it does have software programmable input and output states.

and then write a somewhat meaningful code. the local LLMs failed even at the paragraph stage

could you try that?

Try developing a complex and large product with a team consisting only of "smart and getting things done" people.

You need the "dagtd" people to do the essential but boring parts.
Attend customer meetings. Write requirements and documentation. etc.

Luckily that is not as big a problem as it seems, because about 80% of "smart and getting things done" people are actually "dumb and getting things done".

They just don't know it. Which is perfectly fine. Just don't tell them.
With Ryzen and their other recent products and their rapid pace of improvement, they certainly have developed a decent track record of that.

I was in Thailand in february 2019 and came down with SARS-like symptoms that were very similar to Covid-19 once that became known.

SARS-like viruses have been going around for a while, meaning they affect the respiratory system. Doesn't mean it was covid-19, what even differentiates SARS from covid-19? I have no idea, I'm just a layman who happened to get sick.
