Yes. And that's the reason us insomniacs are taking melatonin.
... most the interesting stuff in that document is redacted!

It seems the substance is a mixture of pyrolysis compounds and they're assuming the worst case cancer risk is if 100% of the material is the most carcinogenic constitutent possible, which might be something like

which is definitely worse than it really is.
Glad Oppenheimer didn't shy away from those aspects of his life. Help really humanize him, in both good and bad ways even if the relationship(s) weren't necessarily a vital part of history outside of "oh his wife was a communist before he met".

It's just interesting because even 2000's superhero movies did this. Society changes quickly when a trillion dollar corporation azures a studio I guess.
I have tons of issues hooking 4k monitors to my macbook but that is definitely not one of them.
Looks like it might have been updated since you wrote that. :(
This third party browser extension looks like it hides UI contents whereas with Kagi your preferences are used in what is actually returned from the search engine and in what order. I don't think these things are all that similar.
We’ve had a pretty good experience with Terraspace at work, which is an opinionated framework/layout for Terraform. It supports hooks and splitting state between regions and accounts.

Strange you don't believe Jon Hall, but willing to believe some random stranger on social media.
Given your background I just wanted to mention I am very impressed by what this area of study was able to accomplish for similar issues in our forests. There was a heartbreaking few years when winter moths were destroying maples all over New England and as I understand it a mitigation developed at the UMass agricultural extension lead to them mostly vanishing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_copyright#History

I wasn't practicing law back then, but my secondhand understanding is that while it wasn't clear that copyright would apply to software, or how, savvy players largely expected some kind of protection for written software beyond trade secrecy.

There were all kinds of questions, theories, and proposals about whether that would happen under copyright law or perhaps through some software-specific regime. The US answer was clear when "computer program" was written into the scoping definitions of the Copyright Act. We still cite back to the commission that pushed that recommendation, CONTU, when debating loose ends.
If you've got root on the client, certificate pinning can be disabled ;) Usually it boils down to patching whatever method or system call the library in question is using to pin the HTTPS request, e.g. on iOS jailbreaks there's a tweak called "SSL Kill Switch" which hooks the native HTTP client to remove cert pinning. On a CI machine or desktop, you can probably do something similar with LD_PRELOAD trickery.

edit: Yeah, I found this library [0] that does it (actually disables validation entirely) with LD_PRELOAD and works with openssl, but no commits since 2018 so might not work. Also I'm pretty sure proxychains uses LD_PRELOAD and it might include some option to disable pinning, idk.

This comes across as an attack on the idea of FOSS.
Thank you! I hope so. My bet is that text based code can be as easy as drag and drop (but much more flexible) if things are kept extremely simple and concise, and the commands and keywords are discoverable. I think I've made good progress on the simple and concise bit. Discoverability needs work, but I believe it's solvable.
Don't use VirtualBox. It's literally the shittiest VM you can choose.
Short answer: no. The focus was on always generating semantically valid programs. That said, there is a lot of work on avoiding nondeterministic or undefined behavior, like division by zero or negative square roots.

There are also a few ‘feature’ flags to enable/disable things like floating point operations in the case that it would affect results, but that never actually came up in testing, and the tests runs we did used roughly the same configurations.
Two big questions: How does it store notes and will there be an Android port?

I currently use Google Keep partly because of all the platform integration with Wear and Assistant, and the fast opening speed.

My ideal Notes system would have Keep's UI, performance, and deep integrations, maybe with a little more advanced organization and calendar support, and just store files as SyncThing compatible markdown.

A platform has to really offer a lot before I would want to put notes in some proprietary format that won't be easy to switch to some other tool.
Successful companies surf the zeitgeist to unfathomable heights.

How google hasn't figured that out in the past fifteen years is a mystery.

It has. Google knows exactly what it's doing.

It's just that Google makes money from keeping you searching, not from giving you the right answer.
I like Pinterest, it is a useful site. But it is basically a (image) search engine itself, so it's pages shouldn't be in Google results. Just like you don't want Bing or DDG image search results showing up in Google searches.
They're absolutely important. They're things I deal with multiple times a day every day.

My work laptop is a Mac. My work workstation is a Linux (Gnome) machine. My personal workstation is a Windows 10 machine (not upgrading until they bring back side taskbar). I own and regularly use a Chromebook. I am familiar with all the major desktop environments and OS X is my least favorite.
Personally I've given up genres and settled with that I like what I like.

In my teens I was heavily into trance especially goa while these days it's mostly psychedelic/stoner rock, but I'll still enjoy a wide variety of artists and groups across genres.

I never dismiss an artist or group based on a genre label. Of course there are genres where I tend not to find new stuff I like, like rap/R&B or jazz. But I'll have a listen, after all won't know if I like 'em till I hear 'em.
My former company sent 10 of us to a red hat kernel internals class to get us preped for moving away from hpux/Solaris.
The instructor advised using centos to play around with after the class (before CentOS was bought). We ended up using redhat on one of the next projects.
I remember when I was an English major in college and I took a class on linguistics and on the first day of class we introduced ourselves and the prof could tell where we were from and which part of the state we were from. I don't remember much about that class but I remember that!

Actually, I'm looking into Oracle Cloud.
Or it makes _them_ incapable of working for Mozilla. If you can't handle having a working relationship with someone that disagrees with you, then what kind of colleague will you be? Are you going to tolerate a coworker that disagrees with you politically? Are you going to be able to manage or be managed by someone with a different background to you?

Someone that won't work for a company whose CEO donated in 2008 to a mainstream political cause (widely supported across the political spectrum including by the left-wing President of the time) is not the sort of person anyone would want to work with, tbh!

But he owns massive amounts of Amazon stock, so he does "own Amazon" technically in that he owns a large part of it - it said "Jeff Bezos-owned", not "Jeff Bezos-solely-owned" - so I think the sentence is true both in letter and in spirit.
Isn't this what amazon's Whispernet is for? Always on low power bluetooth listeners embedded in echos and other amazon devices. If the TV supports it and you don't have an echo it can use your neighbor's echo/internet to send telemetry data.

Love that kid! I live just south of Nashville, but I'm originally from rural Northern California. When we moved here about 10 years ago Southern folks were far more comfortable speaking with their local accents around us transplants. But there have been tons of people moving in from all over our country. Now a lot of folks "cover up" their accents. It's a super bummer. I also realized it's the same thing I do. I sound different when I go back home to rural farm country in California.

Thankfully the patent system isn't that broken.
It's reasonable to understand that past certain numerical thresholds, people stop being individuals and they become masses. And just on laws of averages they're going to get increasingly messy.
Except the issue is inextricably linked to GPUs. All of the work in practical DNNs exists because of the extreme parallel performance available from GPUs, and that performance is only possible with non-deterministic threading. You can't get reasonable training and inference time on existing hardware without it.
except, nobody knew till the end of the war what would be effective and what would not. That entire class of aircraft was invented during the war and the tactics were just being developed. And after the war, new classes of aircraft were developed. The idea that universally useful conclusions can be drawn is what is incorrect.
Confidence intervals are not an appropriate tool for something like this. This isn’t an effect size of dubious magnitude. It’s a simple claim that something either exists or it does not.
I think you’re much more likely to hear a foreign accent than a waspy one these days. Charles Emerson Winchester III isn’t walking thru that door.
In addition to the same 3mg, I ask my Google Home (the first "mini tower", not the puck) to "play the sounds of the ocean" + run an older, slightly noisy purifier (mainly for the white noise, have other much better filtering purifiers in the house that are just too quiet!). Putting my phone away, after a few pages of a novel in my Kindle 11 SE (warmest setting ) I'm dead asleep.

My level of tiredness in the morning seems mainly linked to hours of sleep + how heavy I lifted the day/s before.

(I should trial 1mg as well.)
Lack of documentation frustrated me too. I dont come from a pure FP or Haskell background, so all the type signatures and FP terms don't help at all.
I only used like 2 or 3 categories of things from it since those were thing that i could actually understand. "Either" was the one I used the most

I wish the docs had more examples or explanations
You mean by far and away the cheapest possible chocolate and bread money can buy? The chocolate and bread the majority of us grew up with because it was cheaper than dirt and it was all we could afford?

Why do you think healthier options have been flooding shelves for 20 years now? We’re getting wealthier, and our standards are going up. Don’t make the mistake of mandating your standards onto others ‘for their own good’. Sometimes availability is the goal, not the quality of a good.
There was a post on here a day or two ago that linked to a transcript of ex-Nazi scientists: https://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf

As you can see, most of them were convinced that it wasn’t possible in the current time frame and seem to be thinking the nuke was more along the lines of decades away rather than years away. They also argue that there was no possible way they could’ve developed the bomb because they didn’t have even close to enough funding.
Pretty sure that's the one I used. Granted it's been a couple of years since I stopped, so can give it another whirl.
I truly hope this happens, can't wait to see the amazing impact it will have in our lives.
It seems like such a useful feature but in reality I have a few pinned notes for to-do and shopping lists and ideas, and otherwise just make completely unstructured random notes, never using anything but tagging and setting the colors for pinned notes.

I have Calendar for reminders, and markdown files for things anyone else will see. I just need it to work, open really fast, search, and that's mostly it.
I don't mean lodash fp, I mean plain lodash. We just rewrote everything into noob style that was infinitely easier to read and also made the code much more concise. The ramda stuff was buried like four levels of abstraction deep and we were able to replace them usually with one-liners.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

Replication is just a nice term for it. It can just as well be a crisis of fraud with the failure of replicating fraudulent results as the consequence.

Scientific fraud and garbage results is a huge problem Everywhere. It's actually big enough to nearly invalidate the entire field of psychology.
The attention to detail and quality of the wasmtime tooling and runtime is amazing.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen standards work be so high quality.
Rich's simple made easy is the best programming video I've ever seen, and is ultimately I think what so many engineers need to "grok" to unlock better coding. I'm the "most senior" engineer (chief architect) in a company of more than a thousand engineers, and I recommend it to every junior who asks how to get better.

I will also say I used clojure + aleph to write the only significant application I ever released which never had a reported bug or outage. It ran for seven years and that application was under constant heavy load (more than 10k TPS).
I think this might be a bit exceptional as far as public engagement goes. So I wouldn’t necessarily judge public engagement based on this case.

“Rocks float” vs “rocks not float” is a very easy success criteria for the average person to judge by, lowering the bar for the average person to feel like they can add something to the conversation… so when we add in the potential revolutionary aspects of a room temperature superconductor we have a recipe for significant engagement… it’s even engaging the gawker reflex and people are picking up on it be LK99 is a weird trending topic and people will check to see if it’s an airplane that crashed or something …

In essence it was, by sheer coincidence, bound to go viral… and only because of a number of properties that others won’t have…
Don’t even worry about it. No one has ever been able to provide any proof of a TV doing that. At this point it’s just a spooky tech tale akin to the hitchhiker with the hook in the back of the car.
Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us Rich. I've only dabbled in Clojure but like many others I've found the language and your talks and ideas inspirational and exciting. A rare example of successfully simplifying things, referring to your deservedly famous talk.
Talking to one of Hiroshima’s last living survivors on the 78th anniversary
Isn't VOA (and BBC for that matter) government owned & funded? That's enough right there for me to doubt their "reliably factual" reporting. It's hardly a political opinion- the owners of these services expect to get some return on their investment. Because they're not in it for the money (they can just create more money basically at will), then why are they in it? Likely to help craft a narrative that suits them.

> And if someone wants a non-gamified source of inspiration for books to read, I cannot recommend highly enough a subscription to a literary review, like the London Review of Books or the New York Review of Books.

I've found myself paying for a good bit more media and media curators since reddit sort of went down - The Guardian, the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and the sign language lesson system and YouTube channel Lifeprint.com. It's been really engaging and nice.
This xkcd is the stupidest one in existence. I wish he would just delete it.

I am sorry but you will never convince me that private companies should have more power than the government. It's such an idiotic premise on so many levels and it blows my mind that people like you still come around with that bullshit xkcd comic as if it means anything or is a sound argument for censorship.

I don't think it's dying. The hype has worn off. Everybody uses it. It's very mature. There's a module for everything.

I think some "old-school" games are good for that, cause usually these games are simple and only home one skill at a time, eg: mancala, senet, backgammon, pachisi, mills. Even chess/checkers. Gentle problem solving, some math some resource planning, some chance. Important life fundamentals.
So where did the CO2 in the previous mass extinctions come from? No cars, no factories, no people. So a natural process? And yet today, it all comes from human sources? When I see such reasoning, I conclude politics not science.
Interesting, but that means they have to store the hostname somewhere.
Pretty funny wording:

> fruit fared better with melatonin treatment than did vegetables, which remained more susceptible to the cold (though, chilling injury was still reduced in some vegetables such as bell peppers and cucumbers by up to 24%.)

I wonder whether this actually only works on biological fruits (bell peppers and cucumbers are fruits biologically).

> As to Vietnam/Afganistan, withholding moral judgment on their invasion in the first place, from what very little I know about these historical events, the US operations accomplished their military goals there.

They did not.

> They later withdrew not due to Vietcong/Taliban’s efforts, but as a result of internal political/societal processes in the US itself.

They withdrew because they failed to achieve their military objectives, and the support for continuing to bear the cost of the war without having done so and without confidence that would change in the near future eroded.

If they had achieved their military objective, then they would have left sooner (or transitioned to a non-combat footing), having won the war.
I'm a big fan of Gall's Law:

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system." [0]

I don't throw my first version away, I just start really simple and evolve it iteratively, making sure it works at each stage, and by the time it's done very little of the original code remains.

Why? Do you have some black boxes that keep calling some DoH and you can't control that but they accept user CAs?
Haha perhaps, but I don’t think so.

There’s no fundamental reason our climate models can’t have resolution that allows us to see major natural processes. If we can’t confidently predict weather 3 days out at decent resolution, why are we so confident in forecasts of 50 years with a coarse resolution?

And if our models don’t contain important forcing such as sulphite aerosols and volcanic activity, how can be so certain of attribution to GHG? I know people usually start talking about the precautionary principle at this point, but I think a big part of that is being skeptical of the models unless their predictions closely match observation.
Hyperbole expands a truth; that title states a falsehood (see the paper) as true.
Hey all. Enu is my project, and it's really nice to see some interest. It looks like I'm a few days late to this thread, but I'd be very happy to answer questions if anyone is still around.

The first real MVP of Enu will be releasing before the end of the month. 1.0 is years off, but the basics are mostly there and it seems like a good time to put up a web site, write some docs, and see if people actually want to use the thing.
Feature request: native iOS safari support. I have a redirect set up, an extension.

Bitrate on a camera and on a video aren't comparable. The camera has to use a compression algorithm that can run real time on very low power (the cpu in a camera is probably ~5-10 watts. Anything non-real-time video will have been re-compressed and can probably maintain quality at roughly half the bitrate.

A key point is that Kagi raised its prices already so it was sustainable. The reason most services get worse is because they are downright unprofitable and it is impossible to get them there without either making them drastically worse, or raising prices, which free sites can't do.

Kagi has already put itself on a path where it doesn't have to make itself worse to cover its expenses, because it is already covering them.
