"Hmm. Promising. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to like the TXT records having binary data in them (bug? certainly TXT records are allowed to hold binary data, see here and then here), so it might not Just Work."

Aside: IMHO, dnstxt from djbdns is easier for requesting TXT records than dig; it's a much smaller, simpler program.

tinydns from djbdns can store any data in TXT records, i.e., arbitratry bytes specified by octal. Perhaps other authoritative servers can also do this today. At the time djbdns was released AFAIK it was the only one.

"TXT (``text'') record for fqdn. tinydns-data creates a TXT record for fqdn containing the string s. You may use octal \nnn codes to include arbitrary bytes inside s; for example, \072 is a colon."

Thus one could, e.g., store mini-web pages in TXT records. I experimented with this about 15 years ago.
> The main reason people idolize entrepreneurs is because they symbolize capitalism's perfect individual

That's some deep revisionism right there. Humans have worked for themselves, for no master, since before we became Homo Sapiens.

The big societal achievement of capitalism is killing any entrepreneurial spirit and telling you you need to go to a good school and then find a good employer that takes care of all of your needs.
gotta say, this is slowly looking like a giant nothing burger
Defined benefit pension plans are actually more risky for workers because most companies eventually fail. This is counterparty risk.
That’s such an absolute hacker feeling, I was honestly surprised I got it to work, back then. Thanks for reminding me of that!
This is what happens when you hire a ton of investigators to fight a sort of crime that only happens once in a blue moon. They start fabricating crimes to justify themselves. They might even do this unintentionally, since the line between prodding somebody into revealing their true intentions can become blurred with encouragement to do the thing.

The grass example is also a nice demonstration of how the conventions differ around the world. In some countries it is taken for granted that one can sit or lie down on any lawn in a public area.

13K commits over the past year works out to almost 40 commits per day. Curious what the workflow is to accomplish that and the nature of the commits. Irrespective of that, that is super intense, sounds like she's getting a well-deserved rest.
There was also a voice recognition thing in the 90s, the whole self-driving car/computer vision thing early to mid last decade, and a _very_ short-lived period when everyone was a chatbot startup in 2016 (I think Microsoft Tay just poured so much cold water over this that it died almost immediately).
Toasters are one of the more obvious appliances to show how bad things have become. Outside of getting one of those conveyor-belt continuous restaurant toasters, I simply cannot find a new toaster at any price point that does a good job of making toast.

Good point. You can expand this to every issue facing society, view it through the lens of a politician trying to grab as many votes as possible and our current state makes sense.

Some cities never got it or finding it was harder than it should be. Sometimes that was because of incumbent momentum or regulations. Some cities had good "radio-dispatch" laws that made sense at the times they were passed, but those then stymied "computer-dispatch" decades later as those improvements were made available.

There was a brief few years where a couple of big US taxi franchises had "computer-dispatch" labels and you could use that to select between alternatives.

Unfortunately, Uber disrupted the industry in so many wild and interesting ways. The most useful franchise I was aware of with "computer-dispatched" taxis in multiple cities I traveled between apparently broke apart competing with Uber and some of the franchise cities just outsourced the work to Uber or Lyft or other competitor or built entirely new names/brands separate from the old national franchises and figuring out which one is which is so much more challenging than it was for a brief few years in my experiences before Uber started up.

(In the mid-oughts, I used to have a "Yellow Cab" phone number memorized that was the same 7 digit number in multiple cities, you just swapped the local area code you were standing in. That number is basically out of service in one of those cities and goes to very different branded taxi companies in the rest, some of which then just have messages telling you to book them on Uber or Lyft or Some Random App.)

I interpreted “In my (European) country around the 1990s and got common only 15 years ago or so.” as “humans in my country started using cannabis in the 1990s for the first time”. Bringing up the larger history of cannabis use in Europe is a valid point of discussion, as it is very likely that at some point in history it was also legal and ubiquitous.

Edit: As an aside, this whole discussion began with on the topic of prohibition in regard to alcohol, which for a lot of people that term specifically refers to a period in the United States during the 1920s-1933. I’m not sure if the colonel was referring to a different European prohibition or how the rise in ubiquity of cannabis in the 90s has to do with their initial point, if at all.
The concept does not even exist.

Women have embraced lots of activities which were exclusive only for men, but the girls also have now access to many activities which they don't embrace, they don't look forward to participate, they're not interested.

It's something similar to be fly assistant, which was an infancy dream - at some point - for many girls. At some point, it was opened to guys also, but very few kids have "being a fly assistant" as a dream. Most kids dream about being a pilot.

The reasons behind are not actually something you can change, not even in several generations, because "being a pilot" brings lots of masculine stuff appeal to the table, and "being a fly assistant" also brings lots of feminine stuff for girls.

So most girls end looking forward to the obviously most feminine profession, and most of the kids also want to be a pilot for the same reasons.

You can't change the reasons, hence you cannot "educate" boys and girls "for inclusion", and to want being a pilot and/or a fly assistant without having a positive prejudice in favor of the most masculine/feminine work.

Of course, you could modify the work environment of a male fly assistant to make it as cool like being dressed like Tony Stark. But if you do this, you probably make the role more appealing to males, and less appealing to females, hence you do break the "inclusion thing" here too.

I haven't mentioned yet that this "inclusion" thing is only Western thing, not the whole western included, just some stuff that is fashionable in some EU countries (not Eastern Europe, not much in Finland, Norway, Sweden), in the american continent just some cities in US, some in Canada, two or three countries in LATAM. Nothing else.

Most of Asia, Middle East, Africa, most of LATAM, Central America and most of US, do not share any intention of embracing anything remotely inclusive.

So, gender equality looks like it will never actually happen.
That is entirely a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it. Why are they complaining to the public about their own organizational torpor?

Microsoft should have the maturity, money, and any other resources needed to solve their own problems without making a public spectacle of it. It's embarrassing and childish.

I am being critical of them, but their net worth is nearly 1/10th of the debt of the entire United States of America. If they can't get it together with that level of resources, then they should be ashamed of themselves.

Fairly sure housing affordability is a bigger problem for those without tertiary degrees though!

> 15-20 points, at least in the USA

I'd think if there was an era where urbanisation was highest it would be in the 50-60 years prior to the 60s, and I'm not aware of house prices dramatically increasing in that time (happy to be shown otherwise though!). But in that earlier period many quite modest-sized towns grew massively to become the cities they are today (*), so arguably there weren't quite so many people all trying to crowd into the same few cities.

(*) though in Australia at least, something of the opposite has happened in the last ~75 years - many modest-size towns have lost their populations to larger cities.
I agree with this 100%.
What I have heard from YC folks was that typically the hard costs (GPU compute) and data moats of large players make the space virtually impossible for an upstart to make a meaningful difference that isn’t immediately copied wholesale by a major player.

Software velocity is increasing. Investors should be considering what that means for their investments.

I would be worried if I were tied up in a company that depends on bloated professional services. LLM-enabled senior engineers are 100X more efficient and safe than brand new junior devs. These organizations that embrace the best people using the best tech ought to make Oracle and their famous billion dollar cost overruns quake in their boots.
Surely the smoke would be an issue if you did this over a significant area, no?

Yes, we don't do optimizations on the query encoding yet. So SBERT just re-encodes the whole query every time. It gets results in <100ms which is good enough for incremental search.

I did create a plugin system, so that a data plugin just has to convert the source data into a standardized intermeditate jsonl format. But this hasn't been documented or extensively tested yet.
Sure, but people like you smoking slightly more often is not actually a real problem. Addiction is a problem, and for people like me who are heavily predisposed to addiction, bans have done nothing to prevent addiction from developing, and done lots to make the lives of those who suffer from it worse, and indeed the drugs themselves more dangerous, even for casual users(it only takes one bad ecstacy pill to kill you...)

As other commenters have said, I think "the train has already left the station" on this one, and considering even conservative states aren't trying to crack down on this, who's going to bring it to court?

For example, Florida recently was about to pass a state law limiting the total amount of THC in each individual edible, which would have killed the "legal D9 THC" market. They apparently got huge pushback from producers/consumers in the state and dropped any limits: https://floridaphoenix.com/blog/florida-senate-approves-hemp...

Beeb aren't going to get more license fee out of me because I use their feckin' app. As you say, it's not killer so why would they even bother with the pettiness? Just makes me sad really.
The cultural roots of drinking are deep, and while I agree that alcohol enjoys a seemingly protected status, I don't know that blanket labeling everything "drugs" is a step forward.

I think this kind of abstraction is what gets people into risky situations. I'd rather we raised awareness across the board about the benefits and repercussions of the popular substances of choice. Some general rules of thumb are good, but less compelling than direct information about the ways things can go wrong, and ultimately not useful in the moment of choosing "do I partake?".

I think most people understand that some drugs are dangerous and some are not. But the drug conversation has been so dishonest for so long, that people struggle to assess what is real/true, or what to take seriously. I don't think people will take seriously anything that collapses mind altering substances under that single umbrella.

I think there are strong arguments to be made that psychedelics - especially psilocybin - deserve to remain in a category of their own. To associate them with "drugs" broadly seems counterproductive at a time when we're finally seeing research dollars pour into the field, and the effects of these compounds doesn't seem comparable with other recreational drugs. And no one gets addicted to psilocybin, but there are some very real risks that users need to know about.
> get night terrors [...] from marijuana withdrawals

This one can be really bad, although it only lasts for about a week. Dreams so vivid it's terrifying, even when the content of the dreams seems mundane. If somebody were already marijuana as an emotional crutch, I think the bad dreams could have them running back to marijuana immediately.

The Roman Empire knew about marijuana from the Scythians and some turkic people, and from South Asia. The Romans rejected those cultures and built professional armies instead. Their drug was alcohol. Christian reformers 500 years after the Fall of the Western Empire stuck with that formula, including alcohol in the Holy Sacrament, explicitly rejecting other substances. Hebrews also rejected other substances but included meat and alcohol -- which are explicitly banned in Hindu-Vedic systems with a vegetarian approach.

I've tapered caffeine successfully by measuring out instant coffee. This works pretty well for managing the physical effects of caffeine withdrawal, or at least spreading them out. Basically, I 1) committed to only having the same exact amount of instant coffee, at the same exact times, every day, and then 2) every so often, reduced it a bit. Then I switched to a very moderate amount of decaf (which, yes, has a little bit of caffeine in it, but not enough to cause me problems).

I did this because I was getting withdrawal headaches most mornings, which is an unpleasant way to begin the day- I wasn't even drinking that much caffeine!
Fuckin crazy. In Washington, you cant buy an individual serving over 10mg. Nothing stopping you from eating the whole bag really, but I've heard of other states having edibles up in the 200mg range which seems nuts to me!

In this context, if you start using the words "creation", "production" or even "availability" rather than "extraction", I think your perspective will change drastically.
> As I understand it, it was added in a book of prayers that was popular amongst protestants. It's not in the bible.

Its in some but not other Greek texts of Matthew, notably, IIRC, the Textus Receptus that was the base for the Luther Bible. It is now generally viewed as an interpolation and excluded (except as a footnote) from most modern translations, but that was (obviously) not always the case for Protestants.

It’s worth noting that what is “in the Bible” isn’t always a simple question, since it’s not like each book has a complete, authenticated, original text accessible.
There's just way too much "trust us, we need to be intruding like this". Democracy can't function, can't work, when the state isnt willing to actually engage & defend itself in real terms. This is just more disappointing terror-mongering from behind the curtain.

Dare to Be Different: Challenging the Selection of Mainstream Tech
Since you take a single puff of that pen, is it an oil cart you’re hitting that has just 3% THC?

For those who want to try using low controlled doses like you said, I gotta recommend dry herb/flower vapes - the normie portable ones, not the $400 desktop vape with a fan and everything. It’s easier to find low-but-not-0 THC flower than oil cartridges IME, and if you can’t find them, you can just pack less. It’s also a lot easier on your lungs and having to take multiple hits per packed chamber allows you to control your dose a bit better. Low dose edibles also work but they can last a long time in your body due to being metabolized differently and are similarly hard to find.
This is the Australia energy market price and demand dashboard[1].

Note the two peaks: 1 happens at 7am. There's very little solar at 7am even though the sun is up, but demand is at a maximum. The other happens at around 6pm - when people get home. There's also very little solar at 6pm (sun sets at 5pm in Winter, during the day it's longer).

Also note the demand fall off in the evening: that's a very lopsided peak, because people stay at home (whereas in the morning they turn on the kettle, then leave). But also note the absolute magnitudes: at the minimum, which is about 4am, demand last night bottomed at about 6,800MW. The peak was 9,800MW. So even the "low demand" was 2/3rds of peak demand, and it took 8 hours to get there. Most of the night, consumption was a lot higher.

But it gets worse: before you're going to recover any real capacity from your solar, the largest demand of the day is about to happen in 3 hours, with the sun just barely over the horizon.

Cannabis "addiction" is as problematic as caffeine "addiction". I put those in quotes because neither are what typically comes to mind when a person thinks about drug addiction.

If you think quitting weed is hard, try quitting coffee if you have it every day. For me, suddenly quitting coffee results in severe migraine headaches and I can't do my job well. Extreme irritability and fatigue, it's truly a stimulant drug withdrawal. It takes about a week or so to get through it, and having green tea in its place is the only way I can reasonably taper down.

A similar kind of thing happens if you suddenly stop smoking weed when you use it daily - cold sweats, irritability, but it only lasts about a day. Anyone who has struggled with caffeine, alcohol, or amphetamine addiction (yes, including ADHD pills), who has gone through a cannabis withdrawal will be pleasantly surprised for lack of a better description at how short-lived it is. I believe that's why so many stoners exclaim "I can quit at any time if I wanted", it's not that big of a deal.

I really believe the negative effects of over-consuming caffeine (irritability, cold sweats, heart racing nervousness), and also the effect of withdrawing from caffeine, are both more severe than either with cannabis. Because caffeine is an accepted daily-use stimulant in our society, I compare it to that.
