Our positions are subtly different it seems. I certainly know of some people who I'm sure psychedelics or other drugs would assist greatly, but to me the decision has to be that person's always. To say "I hold the opinion that most people are right not to take psychedelics" unnerves me because it implies (or I read into it) that your opinion matters in their domain of being able to choose, as adults. To me, even to think that way seems dangerous because the next step is trying to impose it.

I'm not saying that you are, it's just given my position that person's choices must be utterly their own[1], that's how it sounded to me. It would simply not cross my mind to think like that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[1] of course, bounded by the damage they can do to other people, that's a very different matter
I avoid saas precisely because of the subscription model. Occasionally, I need to make a flowchart, but I don't need to make flowcharts every month. I used to be able to pay for a flowchart software once, and then use it occasionally. Now it seems that, to get quality flowchart software, I have to pay monthly for something I don't use monthly. So instead, I find some free flowchart software which may or may not be limited in some way that I just deal with, and no one gets my money. Or maybe I find something with a buy-me-a-coffee link, but they would still get more from me if I could just buy a perpetual license for a reasonable price.

Of course, the flowchart is just one example. The same can be said for a lot of utility software I only need occasionally.
> It's actually quite difficult to hold a brake cable in tension, while forcing an old school front derailleur not meant for the bike into millimeter perfect position

Maybe you are missing the tension adjustment screws on the Bowden tube? You ajust the tension if the cable as close as you can with a pair of pliers with one hand, and a screwdriver to lock the cable in the other. The you use the fine adjustment screw to precisely align the chain over the cogs.
It's a logical fallacy to assume what they are saying is false because they might stand to profit from it. They might be biased but can't we investigate their claims independently?
> I was in high school and college throughout the '90s and still think pop music quality peaked sometime between 1966 and 1986.

Pop music or rock music in particular? Rock is a type of pop music and it's arguable that it is past its prime and was better when it was newer.

> the stuff that most people are familiar with is dreck compared to what most people were familiar with fifty years ago.

Likely some survival bias here. There was tons of awful music that was quickly forgotten about back in the day too. I will grant that the cost of recording and distributing music is much lower today so there very well is a lower barrier to entry which means there's probably more garbage than ever.

Same, been using it on my Macbook since last summer, and just got a desktop Mac earlier this summer and it's my main browser there too. Split views are A+, the different zones is really useful for work related stuff, and I like the layout of the browser as a whole.
If Zig does not have a |*const item| syntax, maybe adding it would be a good idea (and also satisfy your concern)? (Zig already has a concept of mutable and const pointers.)

For example, in C++ I would distinguish between mutating iteration and non-mutating iteration like this:

for (const auto& item : collection) {} // non-mutating
for (auto& item : collection) {} // mutating
I think the main difference is that Apple already controlled what operating systems can run Safari via other mediums. Adding this to Safari effectively changes nothing regarding the web ecosystem on Apple devices.

There's nothing conceptually hard but it's really a lot of work. In addition to the items you listed there's the actual compute kernels or compiler to generate those, and then porting frameworks over (PyTorch etc), and then doing the level of testing, documentation, and ongoing maintenance to make an alternative platform a reasonable idea for end users. The pitch for buying NVIDIA hardware is that existing tools, example code, and third party research will more or less work and perform well out of the box.

Edit: Going back to your original question, the main thing that makes CUDA so special is NVIDIA has already poured billions of dollars into all of this infrastructure and credibly will keep doing so.
The likelihood that life on Earth will be compatible with the digestive processes of an independently evolved life form are exceedingly small. They probably wouldn't look at us like potential food in the same way that we try to eat just about everything, so I don't think we have to worry about becoming livestock.

And if they're capable of interstellar transport, they will have absolutely no need for our resources as they'll already have full mastery of energy/matter at their disposal.

No, if alien life finds us, they're primarily going to evaluate us as potential threats. Quite like how we treat common pests. Do we have the potential to threaten their convenience? If so, they may eliminate us. If not, the worst we have to fear is probably getting wrapped up in some interstellar pet market...

It's a little more complicated in the case of the NYC Subway because the size of the tunnels and stations is based on the size of the rolling stock. BMT/IND (B Division aka the letter trains) trains simply can't be driven through IRT (A Division aka the number trains) tunnels. A "changeover" would entail widening tunnels and platforms many feet below Manhattan, not just moving a lot of rails.
He's wrong, it's not "basically" the same thing at all.

> Inflation and money supply are tightly correlated.

Historically, they haven't been. Since 1970 the M2 supply has increased like 36X (7% annualized) but the price of goods is only up 7X (3.6% annualized) -- this includes the inflationary period in the 70s and to the peak in the 2020s just to avoid cherry-picking. [1, 2]

Money supply is how much money is floating around, and inflation is a decrease in the purchasing power of money as measured from prices of a representative basket of goods and services over time.

> "Inflation is caused when the money supply in an economy grows at faster rate than the economy’s ability to produce goods and services." - St. Louis Fed

What they're saying is that when the supply and demand of money are in balance prices should remain relatively consistent (MV = PQ) all else being equal - but all else is not equal. You can't distill the value of money down to one sentence from the St. Louis Fed.

Being the reserve currency and having other world economies dollarized means that there is a ton of external demand for US dollars outside the US economy. That increases supply without touching prices. Taxes are inflationary. Supply shocks are massively inflationary. If we run out of oil and everything doubles in price, that's inflationary - and it happens regardless of money supply. That's just a few random things that are completely left out of the above statement.

Most money issuance in the US doesn't come from the Fed, it happens at retail banks when you take out a loan against fractional reserve, and each dollar is backed by the demand to repay that loan. As economic activity increases, so does the demand for loans, and therefore the supply of money. So generally, within some margin, the money supply tracks the economy thereby satisfying the quote.

It actually takes a lot of people to build and maintain a modern competitive browser. Not paying those people and instead investing the revenue would end the project in short order. Mozilla is already outgunned on staff by the other major browser makers and you want us to cut staff to save more? That's not realistic, IMO.

If the author of BBEdit never added a feature since 1991. You would have still had to pay for new versions to run on your PPC/Classic MacOS, OS X PPC, x86 Mac and now your ARM Mac.

Back in the “good old days” MS Office cost $595 for each version if you had a Mac and Windows PC.

Now it’s $99/year for five users and you can run on your Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, web, or Android device.

The same for Photoshop.

And you get continuous features added as the platform vendor and software vendor add more capabilities.
I would like to bring your attention to Google’s recent proposal to add a feature to its Chrome (Chromium family) of browsers called Web Environment Integrity. This provides a mechanism to reinforce Google’s already dominant browser market position by creating a technological control that can be used to nullify a user’s choice of browser, device and operating system. This technology also has the potential for abuse by preventing users from using browser extensions that can enhance security by blocking unwanted and potentially malicious content, as well as browser extensions that help vulnerable users with enhanced accessibility needs, such as color blindness and visual impairment.

Google’s dominant, near-monopoly position in the browser market already harms me as a consumer by reducing browser choices and preventing a competitive market for developing new browsers. Allowing Google to include this feature will reduce my browser choices and consolidate the browser market even further, and it is incumbent on [INSERT AUTHORITY HERE] to take action against this abusive behavior.

"Reduce" actually does attack the production side. Overall, something not bought = something not produced.

So does "Reuse". If a take a throwaway plastic bag & reuse it 4x, I have reduced its waste footprint to 1/5th of the use-once scenario.

Only recycling doesn't do this. It defers the waste problem to 3rd parties, which may or may not do what one would hope they do. That's... kind of weak.

Which is why I go for the reduce option if possible. Whenever I'm about to buy something, I ask myself: do I need this? How am I going to use this? (vs. what could I potentially, possibly, one day, do with it). No clear answer to these questions = no buy. Environmental footprint of an item can weigh into such decisions.

It's a simple approach, but produces a surprising difficult hurdle in most cases.

Food purchases pass this hurdle 0 problem. For other things, "because I want it, got the money, my choice" (usually) doesn't cut it any more. Buying a winter coat 50% off won't cut it when it's mid summer & you've got an old but good winter coat sitting ready.

You have TikTok completely backwards. It's giving a platform and virality to independent artists at a scale that was simply not possible before.

If your only association with TikTok music culture is "TikTok charts" then you're just falling for the same Billboard top 40s but with a new coat of paint.

This particular buoy is in shallow water in waters with seagrass and run off from the land.

In general though, the ocean is _vast_ and stores a lot of heat, and changes temperature slower than the air does. When it's cold outside, the ocean radiates heat to warm the air and vice versa.
Is anyone else working on alternatives to this web? We're going to want something working before this one becomes a telescreen.

I'm thinking:

- content addressing, not server addressing (to better distribute the hosting load)

- looser coupling between data itself and apps for viewing data (to prevent aesthetics from being used as a heuristic for trustworthiness)

- a native permissionless annotation protocol (p2p trust governs whether annotations appear: if you see an ad, just revoke trust in its author)

- no code execution needed for browsing, fancy features (i.e. the kind of thing you actually need js for) stay optional

I'm curious what design goals other people think are relevant.
"For an older person the only way to solve this would've been to perform the task manually."

It's quite possible the purpose of the word search is to train the child on their own visual pattern recognition, not their problem solving. Solving manually and writing an OCR program are teaching to two very different skillsets.

But more fundamental to my point is this: "There are more uses for smartphones than just Instagram and TikTok."

Yes, but without administrative-level filters and lockdowns, social media and garbage are inseparable from the phone. The solution would be for the school to offer a standard issue mobile device with whitelisted resources for the purposes of teaching.

Allowing students to have their personal, unrestricted phones out during class is to invite them to distract themselves from lessons and learning. It is to invite them to learn how not to focus on meatspace.
> all of their low rcp outcomes depend upon direct carbon capture, a technology we haven't really figured out yet,

Agreed. LUFS as an "objective metric of quality" is nonsensical. I work as the assistant to a world class mastering engineer and we never discuss LUFS or aim to hit a target loudness. Such metrics (while well understood) are never a consideration.

All we do is listen. Often the goal is to get the record to feel as loud as it can be, but the moment our choices start to degrade the feel of the record we back off. We're doing very little in the way of actual limiting for loudness. We have ways of making the record feel louder, and they don't always involve dynamics processing.

Quite often no limiting is necessary because the mixes that we receive are mixed hot, which leads me to my next point:

Where I'll push back a little - for the sake of conversation - is the assertion that the loudness war died with streaming services. I consider their automatic level compensation features to be a big plus for audio fidelity. For artists and mixers who are sensitive to this issue it relieves them of the pressure of feeling that they need to deliver super hot mixes. The record can simply be what it needs to be and not conform to a certain loudness standard. It's a positive step.

Where my objection comes in is the reality that artists and mixers (who are well aware of the dilemma) nonetheless deliver us mixes that have been crafted for maximum perceived loudness. And they're really good at it. Even world class producers and mixers are sending us records that are squashed to hell, but very often they still sound good! The craft of mixing is evolving and people have become very adept at making an objectively loud record (-3 LUFS, etc) still work. HOW they do that is far too big of a topic to broach here.
But MS still bundles IE, and they've gotten more pushy about it lately.
Show HN: Rust library for set operations on CIDRs, you can try it in a terminal
I had a work objective that required me to be able to "slice" a subnet by a smaller subnet and I didn't manage to find any other libraries that accomplish this kind of computation so I set out to write one myself.

Supports calculating CIDR unions, differences, and complements. The rest of the existing set operations don't really make sense for CIDRs since the only way they can overlap is if one fully contains the other (or they are equivalent).

I figured a binary tree-like data structure would be the most memory efficient way to represent this, but I'm super open to any feedback especially if there's a well established better way to do this.

Play with it on the command line if you have rust installed: `cargo install fcidr`!

I'm sure they are, at air travel. I think it would be reasonable to assume that some very complicated physics would be required, many orders of magnitude more complicated than air travel, which was first done with leg power, using some spare bicycle parts and various dead plants.

> Temperature always tries to diffuse, increasing entropy in the process. So if there is an especially hot body of water due to climate change it means that water had to be in contact with air of higher temperature.

A lot of light passes through the atmosphere and that energy is absorbed and reflected by the solid and liquid surfaces below the atmosphere (the amount absorbed or reflected depending on albedo and other properties of the material). The energy heating the ground or the ocean does not all come from the atmosphere itself (though certainly some does).
I feel like this is the greatest demand for LLMs at the moment too.

Many years ago, 1982, there was an applie ii video game named Dung Beetles. It was a pac man style dot chomper in a maze. Except the maze was quite large and the area around the player was viewed as if through a magnifying glass. I would find it interesting -- but probably unworkable -- if my virtual desktop were 5x and any window not focused were small and when focused it blows up to normal size. With some options of being able to make windows stay large when not focused and etc.

You're still missing the point: I would love a battery that has these attributes without tradeoffs. But as the root comment says: the numbers here are exceptionally large, breaking the step function of progress. And they make no mention of downsides, which implies they're hiding the problems.

It's not about being "triggered", it's asking the legitimate question of whether (and specifically, which) technical problems led them to these battery properties. I think we can all agree that this battery isn't going to be a miracle innovation, or they'd have hyped its lack of downsides. That being the case, we must admit that the battery has problems (acceptable to some consumers or not) and that the regular re-hyping of this vaporware is indeed an admission of technical failure in some way.
Yes, exactly correct. WEI is a way to turn this mobile device signing nightmare into a web standard that can be enforced across all devices.
