I'd also add that the big "open secret" in the sleep research community is that yes, CBT for insomnia is a great starting point, but it needs to be followed up with further psychology-based care. Sleepio is a great starting point and Stellar Sleep also delivers CBT for insomnia-based programming initially. The difference is that we then transition into continued psychology-based programming which sustains the results of the initial CBT for insomnia work.

Our target audience is just as much potential contributors as it is actual players. Mentioning Rust is very deliberate: it pulls in a lot of motivated developers, both those trying to learn the language and those with expert knowledge looking for a creative, relaxed way to put their skills into practice.

I think ACOUP's point is that the grimmer tone of ASOIAF is not more realistic than LotR's romanticized tone, and that in many instances it's actually less so. And that while both are valid style choices, GRRM's insinuation that his choice leans towards realism is mistaken.

Examples being: kings believed in their own religion, they didn't randomly mistreat peasants, nobles and lowborn alike followed tradition, people weren't cynical about religion in private, and kings depended on their vassals to enforce their will, so mistreating vassals (at least, as the norm) was a no-go and everyone understood this. Other examples are about military logistics, the system of bannermen and what duties and obligations it entailed in both king and vassals, which are more realistic in LotR and less in ASOIAF (or so the blog claims).

I think ACOUP's main point is that GRRM is projecting modern sensibilities into his characters, which is valid but doesn't result in a less fairytale, more realistic depiction of medieval society, like GRRM claims was his intention!
Reviving An 8-Inch Hard Drive From The 1980s
I'm a strong supporter of EFF -- but you know what? I don't agree with every position they take. I can't think of any organization (or person) that I agree with 100%. If perfect alignment with my worldview were a prerequisite, I'd be unable to support anything or anyone.

Instead, I look at the total effect. On the whole, EFF (in my opinion) does far more good than ill, so they have my support.

> I'm not sure what you're saying, Microsoft wasn't broken up.

I am saying this isn't theory. That this happens basically any time a company has monopolistic power. We cannot expect companies to behave altruistically (nor should we, the purpose of a corporation is to make a profit).

> "Companies would engage in anticompetitive behavior and avoid scrutiny" in which case that's a regulatory failing

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. And the regulatory response is to break the company apart or provide a public service that meets the need of the public if the monopoly is natural.

The legal duty is to maximize shareholder value. Because that is the only interest of a shareholder. I am aware I'm repeating myself here but that necessarily means the company must behave in a way that they maximize their profit under the law as it currently stands regardless of morality/ethics. Given the US government has not done any monopoly control since I can remember, avoiding regulatory scrutiny is a farcical risk.

The original point we were discussing is that private monopolies by themselves can be okay but monopolistic manipulation should be punished. And I disagree with that point because monopolies (and any company) must maximize their profit. Nevermind the legal duty to their shareholders, companies must maximize profit.

I don't think anyone is bullying all of society. I think most people just don't care. It's really not that crazy, no mind control involved. Just good old fashioned apathy and ignorance.

I have a weekly Zoom call with a small group of photographers, or weekly one-to-one calls. I don't think I really need a centrally managed server for these - the scaling requirements are small. I would love a low-cost alternative where the host ran the server and it was always invitation only. Of course there would have to be simple client apps for MacOS, Windows, Linux, iOs and Android.

If such a solution came along, I would use it and get rid of my monthly Zoom fee.

PS: end-to-end encryption would be good....
Sorry, to clarify, it's supposed to be a multi-step process (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxlvsts3c6o ) where you get it to jump onto land, then it gets kicked to another location where you can knock it into the waterfall.

‘It happens again and again’: why Americans are obsessed with secret societies
It is a remarkable phenomenon that all three cable news channels in America have dedicated themselves entirely to the individual of Donald Trump, all the way from 2016 to 2024 and beyond.

It defies a certain logic that audiences can tire of Marvel movies that come out a couple times a year, but daily coverage of such an asinine topic for nearly a decade is supported by the market?

Certainly this has to be culturally damaging, but everyone sort of pretends it's normal for the country to focus on the antics and tribulations of one person.

TV runs the country for now but I am optimistic their vapidity will drive the next generations to the internet. There appears to me a growing number of young people growing up online.

Requiring to run a software stack signed by a third-party to access a basic Web page definitely reduces my control over my own computer.

> It seems the premise is that those with a computer should be able to access others servers wholesale unconditionally. This premise is obviously wrong.

That is not the premise since you can already run a closed-club server and only provide accounts to people you want with whichever conditions you chose. You just not entitled to verify the software that clients run.

> At the end of the day, even if WEI is implemented it wouldn’t necessarily get rid of an open web as it’s entirely optional. Those who implement it are those who are not interested in an “open web” to begin with and definitionally were never going to support it anyways.

> the best way to use lazy sequences is not to

I disagree — I do use lazy sequences, I just rarely pass them around. Very few functions in my code return lazy sequences, and those are usually the "sources": functions that can return database data, for example.

Most of the code does not return lazy sequences, and thanks to transducers can be abstracted away from the entire notion of a sequence.
I believe the word is “courageous”, minister.

That’s the beauty of turning up and putting an x on a piece of paper. You can of course slip in the occasional fraudulent vote (pretend to be someone who isn’t going to vote). You can register a false person in the address. It’s quite easy to swing dozens of votes across the country, with an increasing risk of being caught

But the effort it takes would be better spent getting the vote out for your candidate. You can pretend to be your neighbour once or twice, but if you turn up at the voting station several times you’re going to be noticed.

Better to offer a lift to your identified voters to make sure they legitimately vote for you even though it’s raining.
>> I'm still not 100% clear on what zoom solved that led to such a surge in popularity.

Little things matter. When I send a zoom link, it is ~20 characters and I can alternatively just give you a room number.

My gut reaction was "Why would I use this instead of Debian Sid?" but the article actually answered that for me:

It's still going strong! We just released 0.15. It's still in pre-alpha, but the map is much less sparse nowadays and there's a lot more to do!
One potential flaw I see with this thinking is why would I want to use a built-in video chat feature if I can just send a zoom link? If you've ever watched the thousands of parody videos of things that go wrong with meetings over video, we all know what a pain it is to get everything configured right -- right webcam, right microphone, not blasting people's ears off or being too quiet, knowing where the mute button is, etc. If I have all my Zoom stuff already set up, I don't think I really want to do that for each individual app unless they have some sort of super compelling feature.

The only thing I can really think of off the top of my head is using AI to modify the video stream (where that's like the primary purpose of the app). But I don't know, that seems more frivolous fun than something truly compelling.

> People choose React because you could have gone from 0.15 to 18.0 with maybe a week of effort, often less.

That's only if you are not using other libraries, otherwise it will take much more time than that and the upgrade would very likely require you to rewrite your components as functions which will be a massive undertaking, specially for larger codebases which already made extensive use of OOP patterns to keep code modular. It's even worse if you consider that React is unusable for most projects without a lot of associated tooling that also faces breaking changes often (i.e. your build tooling, your CD/CI environment and deploy workflow, etc.).

In reality React is anything but stable, it has in 10 years faced multiple paradigm shifts in terms of development experience, had most of its codebase changed or refactored multiple times, etc.

> Nobody has gotten fired for choosing React.

This is an (unfortunately) very true piece of wisdom which I have to agree with.
The ecosystem is more than the libraries. Do you use the VS Code or WebStorm integrations? Do you use one of the many options we have for bundlers and dev servers? Do you use the browser dev tools?

Svelte has to recreate plugins for all of these things and more. I haven't yet tried Svelte (I'm waiting for Svelte 5), but the tooling needs to be at least comparable to Vue's if I'm going to consider adopting it.
> That's exactly what people are paying Cloudflare for

Cloudflare actually provides this service for free (for simple use cases at least).

I don't know how to come down on this issue. On one hand, I am against the centralization of cloudflare and the risks that come with it.

On the other hand, cloudflare allows almost anyone to set up a simple website and serve it to large numbers of people with very little resources/cost and advanced protection from DDOS attacks.

DXVK in particular is one of the recommended ways to get Fallout 3/NV working reasonably well, too.
Because that's not my workflow looks like?

* Fire up Jupyter notebook, create some PyTorch nn.Module, validate the output is expected.

* Built out the model, validate the output is expected.

* Check the data shape, do a eval() run with the data.

* Move out of Jupyter notebook (or not), to actually run the trainer.

Each of the "build out model" phase, shape inference at compile time would be kind of annoying especially if you have a LSP constantly running compilation.

I agree that government funding doesn’t make sense, but newspaper were dying because nobody read them. Many pivoted and are profitable but are now being killed by companies like Alden Capital. Denver Post has large readership and has been profitable for a long time, but it was gutted by private equity and forcibly, slowly, killed.
Forgive me but this kind of comparison is hilarious, given Europe is smaller in area, has more population and way more different countries than the USA.

This is how the news was for me as a 90s kid who only had over the air channels for TV. 6:00-6:30PM was local news, 6:30-7:00PM was World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. Outside of that folks weren't particularly concerned with what was happening beyond their immediate bubble.
Ancient Skull Found in China Is Unlike Any Human Seen Before
In a sense, LLMs- particularly "conversation-shaped" LLMs like ChatGPT- harvest the benefit of the doubt we are all, as readers, used to providing to text.

For most of our lives, most of the text we have encountered was an intentional communication, self-evident through its own existence. LLMs challenge us with something new: text that has the shape of communication, but no intent.

The proliferation of generative "AI" for text will profoundly alter the human relationship to the printed word, and perhaps ultimately dispell that benefit of the doubt.
This has nothing to do with scaling. How do you picture that, some employee would broadcast sensitive information to a WhatsApp group, in order to reach as many others as possible at once?

The offense here is that no effort was done to keep records of the communication. It would have been ok to use WhatsApp if they somehow would have archived all communications.
Records of communications have to be kept so that auditors can verify that no inside trading secrets were communicated to others, for instance.

>the mid-level SWE who’s been stuck at mid-level for 10 years got “promoted” to manager… and you think that sort of person is going to perform that job with distinction???

Middle managements are usually not your brightest employees, they are kept at these roles to take shit from the employees instead of the executives while they are used as a power proxy by those executives. During covid their roles got minimized and executives had to meet the engineers/employees directly and for one actually do some work, which is probably one of the reasons why the push back to the office just bring back the old ways.

Don't know how much time they need to tweak their model but here is another possibility.

OoenAI sells GPT 4 but it's only GPT 3.5 because of lack of resources.

> In my experience, I've found that cartoony/sketched images results in the audience being more receptive to, and remembering more of, the message.

Subjectively, I'm inclined to agree. Somehow the "sketched" diagrams just seem more approachable, at least up to a certain complexity: that's why tools like Excalidraw have replaced something like LibreOffice Draw for when I need to create a diagram, at least outside of professional goals.

Fonts are still difficult, though. Excalidraw's "handwritten" font is a bit too hard to read, but most of the sans fonts out there don't mesh well with the diagram style otherwise.

Thankfully there's probably tools out there that support custom fonts with little issues and one can probably find one easily.

Regardless, best of luck!
tangent, this is the fifth time very recently I've seen the word "entshittifaction" on HN, and it's always quoted as well.

It reminds me of the German word Entnazifizierung ("de-nazi-fication"), which was relevant post WWII.

Where is this new word coming from?
>I think you don't understand what the word suffer means.

1. You haven't heard of the saying "suffering a loss" in the context of finance?

2. see definition 3: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/suffer#Verb

> Those entities don't lose anything. It's not possible to lose something you don't have. In an alternate universe where the windfall tax did not occur those entities have more money. But in this universe they don't lose anything. They don't suffer.

That's a strange way of putting it. Suppose you were at the casino and won a few thousand dollars. When you decide to cash out they informed you there was a "winnings surcharge" (that they didn't previously tell you about) and took 50% of your winnings. Would you say that you didn't "lose anything"?
Even if they did, it wouldn't change much.

1. Nobody would launch nukes domestically, so moot point.

2. Using nukes internationally would be a faux-pas beyond fixing. Every modern, nuclear-equipped nation understands this.

3. The United States doesn't need nuclear weaponry to dispel invaders, or even to retaliate against foreign attacks. Their nuclear weapons exist to deter other nuclear superpowers from using their weapons for petty gain.
