> and they're assessed to be mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs

I think this is where you'll get a lot push back because I have absolutely zero trust in my or any government to make this determination and not abuse it. I'm "mentally ill" a few times over, Johns Hopkins says 24% of adults have a mental disorder.

As much as I agree with you in theory that getting people help is good it requires a government of angels. It's the same thing with the war on drugs, the reality is much much worse than the theory.

Is postmarketos of interest or used by anyone?
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the result.
You will have to wait for shipping from China- I bought one as a gift for a friend and it took about two weeks from order to arrival.
The attacker basically calls Transfer(From your address, to phishing address, quantity 0)
They can't actually transfer any crypto because your approval for that token is zero. But they can technically transfer zero tokens from your address to another one. Then some wallet interfaces pick this up and display it as a transfer.
hmm, the high-pressure room-temperature superconductor turned out not to actually be real?

wp says

In 2020, a room-temperature superconductor (critical temperature 288 K) made from hydrogen, carbon and sulfur under pressures of around 270 gigapascals was described in a paper in Nature.[71][72] However in 2022 the article was retracted by the editors because the validity of background subtraction procedures had been called into question. All nine authors maintain that the raw data strongly support the main claims of the paper.[73]
What Antony Davies fails to account for is the rising cost of housing, and a college education, and he compares us to 100 years ago, which is a nice round number, but the living standard I want to revisit is the 1950's, minus the out-of-control racism and sexism and abuse. By that time electricity was ubiquitous, washing machines were prevalent, people had cars, and college and housing was still affordable for the middle class. By the 1960's, central air condition was being designed into homes.

My phone couldn't make this video, and I picked the model based on the camera.
The Spartan army at Thermopylae included helots, for example.
The investigation began well before the cuts. And the investigation would have happened anyways because in 2011 the House had completed an investigation which pointedly called out the ratings agencies.

And the big problem with the cut was it made no sense. Which was evident from the fact that the US continued to enjoy nearly a decade more of sustained borrowing at nearly 0 rates and the cut itself had no impact.
I found another place that's maintaining replication results too: https://eirifu.wordpress.com/2023/07/30/lk-99-superconductor...

It's interesting they marked one of the claims as "likely fraudulent" but the guy at the spacebattles one hasn't. The video doesn't seem to be related at all to the 4 samples one, so I'm not sure why they think it's likely fraudulent.

This made me smile :). What a fun clock.

Given CSS animations coupled with the new CSS trigonometric functions... this should be doable in pure CSS, minus the initial injection of the current seconds into a CSS variable on page load. There is no reason to do it in CSS, it just sounds like a fun weekend project (unless someone beats me to it, in which case a fun weekday project!)
Ditto, the inertia is real but one can be hopeful. I'm using it for personal documents (simple ones for now using currently supported features) because it's so easy to set up a data pipeline to read data from CSV, YAML, and JSON files along with just one executable to work with.
The fun thing about speedruns is the variety of categories. Just add rules for new kinds of runs.
> Money can be invested in assets other than savings accounts, e.g. the share market.

Yes, that's why we have stock market bubbles and housing bubbles. Our 401Ks are heavily invested in index funds, while the rest of our savings are usually invested heavily in real estate (which is one reason why our housing prices are rising so quickly!). Now imagine leaning in on those 10 times more heavily than we do today...

> it’s borrowing for retirement and leaving the debt to your kids.

The point is that there is a massive demand for savings now, that money would have to be lent out to someone no matter what, and dollars are safe because US treasuries can soak up billions instantly with some sort of interest rate that will be paid back. You can't just say "oh, we should stop borrowing that money" unless you have a better idea of where to it can go.

I'm not a Linux kernel dev but I think this is true! Not sure what's up with the downvotes.

You can create a process/thread chimera with certain system calls, and get something that is in-between a thread and process if you want, which is neat but maybe not that useful.

Creating processes on Linux is actually much faster than people seem to realize. I can spawn at least a few thousand a second from a quick test of spawning bash instances.
Also, Microsoft doesn’t owe the majority of its debt to its own shareholders.

Further, Microsoft doesn’t have the legal right to demand their shareholders and every employee etc hand over any money Microsoft asks them to hand over, if it really wants to pay off its debts.
The biggest threat to Bitcoin wasn’t apt criticism. It was a nexter bigger thing.

Finally someone is speaking English in these room-temperature superconductor threads that I can actually understand and get excited about!

Never mind. :(

Ending Copyright Could Save Art and Journalism [video]
some good thoughts here. similar to some thoughts i've had over the years. what do you think?
I think even if you’re right in theory (which I believe you are), the problem is in getting the Supreme Court to agree. And even if they do, by the time the issue makes its way through the courts, the damage would already be have done.
it's showing up on science news sites though, even major ones.
Could be read as humor, more charitably.
It sounds absolutely absurd but I'm thinking of how the military generates EMPs (explosive forcing a puck through inductive coil to generate a huge current which then generates the EMP), and maybe you actually could get some serious "deployable", very strong magnetic fields. Basically take the explosive EMP, and instead of directly trying to maximise EM induction in a pulse, you somehow try and stretch that pulse and apply it to a superconducting coil, generating a brief instant of strong magnetic pull.

The "pull weapons" thing is silly, it's a magnetic field so if you're that close the same weight in explosives should kill them, and with the forces it would need it's not going to be non-lethal.

I could maybe see this as an active defence system. Have a little turret, if you detect an incoming slug you fire your little grenade at the slug, it sets off a pulse that imparts substantial impulse to anything that's magnetic, diamagnetic, paramagnetic (lead, steel, uranium all included). Maybe it could send a high speed slug tumbling, or off course, not sure.

In general I think RTAPS is much more likely to have civilian uses than military ones, aside from banal military uses like "the generator works more efficiently because parts are superconductive now". Maybe railguns, but I don't think electric resistivity is the limiting factor there, more friction or plasma confinement.
There’s lots of other ways to build strong peolel than negativity.

I’m not a fan of the many culture either but dignity and positive inner dialogue is better for resilience than negative inner dialogue.

Like shame. Shamers usually are insecure or impatient to some.

Valuing one’s self is reason enough.

Learning to get better, or sleds order at something one day at a time doesn’t come from a negative spiral of solely living by what others think.
One of my favorite jobs is barista at a coffee cart at a university. Cooking puts you in constant flow, unlike coding where you're almost never in flow.

You get to optimize things like crazy. Instead of chopping garlic into little pieces, crushing it removes the acrid taste but keeps the odor. Using butter to toast burger buns instead of margarine basically doubles the quality. There's a timing & liquid quantity window for brewing tea, where you get the best tea.. though sometimes if you're making tea with milk, you want more tannins. The variations of tea also have more impact than variations of coffee. But probably because tea is cheap, it's not as much of a snob sport.

Eggs are incredibly interesting too. It's both beginner tier and mastery tier. It's your hackerrank equivalent - make spaghetti carbonara, make a french omelette, make poached eggs, make egg sushi.

I think it's sad that it's a minimum wage job and never attracts the kind of people who like to optimize things, besides the cafe niches.
Legalizing drug use does not shield them from liability for committing crimes.
More people saying it sounds feasibly like it could be a superconductor is great, but agreed - https://nitter.net/MichaelSFuhrer/status/1686267690770739200 and similar threads by actual experts in the field have outlined that DFT studies ignore a lot of variables that need to line up for superconductivity, in harsh contrast to techbros on Twitter claiming they're proof of the next thousand year golden era.
For an emacs-inspired actual WM, I highly recommend looking into stumpwm. It became my preferred daily driver even as someone who spent maybe an accumulated hour or two in emacs over my lifetime (that is to say, I'm very much not an emacs person). It's been developed for ~10y, hit 1.0 in 2017, and is still actively developed.

https://stumpwm.github.io/

The OP mentions ratpoison already. ratpoison (or cage for Wayland) is great for those situations where I just want a quick-and-dirty OoB minimal WM without needing to tweak or install anything else. stump gives you groups(workspaces) and a powerful language and environment so you can customize and optimize everything as you like.

They especially shine when you have nested environments (say opening a virt-manager window where you're remote-Xing in to another host where...). It becomes like tmux for X. No more resolving conflicting keybindings - you just have your prefix key to think about. Just like when a tmux-inside-tmux-over-ssh, navigating between different layers becomes second nature.

(BTW OP is (2015) and their referred 2wm seems to be dead and gone now)

Except the problem is that Congress has already authorized the spending.

What it hasn’t authorized is how the executive should raise the money Congress has told it to spend.

There is no limit on government borrowing besides the debt limit which comes very directly in conflict with the U.S. government’s constitutional mandate to pay its debts.

In nearly every other country the constitution would very clearly supersede the debt limit congress has created, but it’s not clear whether that’s a reliable heuristic in the U.S.
You clearly haven't seen the sites that demand JavaShit just to load JPGs and PNGs that you told the browser to open directly. As in pointing the browser at a JPG or PNG and getting redirected to a page with JavaShit to load that JPG or PNG.

"stolen" seems to not be defended in the article, and not the main focus of it either.
There's termux-monet (https://github.com/HardcodedCat/termux-monet) which is actively maintained and has quite a few UI improvements since it forked from termux.
This article includes interesting stats at first but the self-promotion midway through just makes it feel like a formulaic Medium article, and I lose trust in the author from that moment on:

"At that point, the company called me to help as a hybrid work expert who the New York Times has called “the office whisperer.”"
Who leave it to their kids, who leave it to their kids.

Individual humans retire. Corporations and governments don't. The latter can roll over debt indefinitely. There is never any reason to pay it off.

The only limit is whether they can afford the interest, which is a function of how well they apply the spending to ensure income. It's very different from a household budget and comparisons easily mislead.

I identify with that. It didn’t help that around the end of Covid I went through a terrible break up and all my grad school friends finished their degrees and moved while I was still working on mine.

It felt like I went to the bathroom at a party and came back to an empty room and I had to stay and clean up. I knew I’d be done in a year or two, so it felt weird to try and find a new social group when I was on short time, but boy was the end of my PhD a slog in part due to feeling disconnected socially.
I felt like it lasted much longer. Of course, this was pre Internet days, so I read it in papers and watched on TV

Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs.

Our first product is SDKs as a service – you send us your OpenAPI spec, and we generate pacakges in all the major languages and publish them to npm/pypi/etc (think `npm install your-company`). These SDKs are world-class: you get an idiomatic wrapper with autocomplete, types, etc. (I built a version of this at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

From there, we plan to build out a rich family of developer platform products – everything an API team would need to deliver a terrific DX to their partners and/or customers.

We’re about 1.5y old, under 5 people, have strong revenue, and are selling to companies you interact with every day. We’re backed by Sequoia, a bunch of (ex-)Stripe people, and founders of Next.js, Prisma, and Segment.

As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone. Want to build the future of API tooling? Say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com

OK but come on, booking your own flight is already automated. I put my preferences into a form and choose from like 3 options and get a confirmation email. I really don't see how a digital twin trained on my preferences making that choice for me is an improvement. And my web browser already remembers my credit card number, so I can hit "book" and the computer spends my money. What advantage does crypto play here? That's why I jumped to distributed computation, I assumed that's what crypto adds to the mix, the ability to pay other actors in an automated way, but again, if it was necessary to rent compute I can already setup my credit card to autopay, so what does crypto have to do with it?

[PS despite my dismissive tone I'm curious if there's something I'm missing]

This is not as tricky as you think. Drinking alcohol is legal. Drunk driving is not. Taking drugs is legal. Driving while high is not.
breakthroughs since fire more important than the transistor probably include cooking, agriculture, the wheel, metallurgy, glass, ceramics, the heat engine, mechanisms in general (with things like pulleys, hydraulics, screws, and gears), construction cement (originally lime), math, writing, optics, electricity, chemistry (including things like distillation, the atomic theory, and recrystallization), plumbing, carpentry, weaving, sewing, automatic digital computation, and possibly language, depending on when that happened

it seems like maybe you haven't thought much about the history of technology
Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me.
I’d be interested in seeing a source on that. My understanding was that it was a powerful and popular computational tool. The theory is approximate but approximate theories can still be quite useful if the approximation is a good one.
The "doing drugs" part seems basically immaterial, if they were doing those same drugs in a house I doubt would you care at all. If you want to just ban being homeless in a tent in shared public spaces then go off king, I'll vote for it. If possible I would just want there to be some actual shelter for them to go to. We somehow have the money to feed, clothe, and house a bunch of people in prison, we could make shelters of comparable sizes and amenities.
What makes you think we're lacking fundamental plumbing? I am personally still quite convinced it will simply take a bit of time and development to plug in the current AI into sufficient self-testing structures (basically the next versions of AutoGPT) and let it run long enough to map out an entire domain with accurate measurements. Seems more like just a matter of time and a bit of funding - but mostly inevitable and very straightforward. It doesn't even really take GPT4 quality levels to do - that's just a bonus.

> The obvious choice is a compare-and-swap atomic, which will fail if another thread has already made the transition. However, with a more careful selection of state representation, we can do this with just an atomic increment!

But why? Atomic increments and compare-and-swap have the same performance on most hardware, and this is a cold path so it wouldn't matter if they didn't. Using a compare-and-swap you would only need one byte to store your "once" object rather than a whole int.

The material containing lead is very unfortunate. I have no doubts that (if it indeed turns out to be a superconductor) humans will use it anyway in any context where it provides even a slight benefit (cf. just in the lead department: leaded gasoline, leaded solder, etc.).
Part of the promise of the web is democratized expression. So, not just approachable for people accessing content, but for people wanting to share. From their phone or tablet or XR device, even, since those are the computers people spend most of their time with. IME, "deploying" (I hate that word, we need another) from one of those devices is not indicative of functional illiteracy, but the lack of an approachable solution. Even just putting the instructions on a simple webpage instead of in a github readme would be a good first step.

Yes due to soft default (inflation). If you look at projected debt burdens, they are predicted to grow faster than gdp if inflation targets are met. If inflation targets aren’t met, like they haven’t in the past few years, then it’s effectively a default since the government is paying back less in inflation adjusted dollars than it borrowed. Plenty of other countries have tried this strategy and it doesn’t merit a high credit rating.
