With all respect to your personal preferences, Houston is one of the fastest growing metro in the US, with lower housing costs, a healthy middle class, and a booming economy.

So you are missing a lot.
That's how I understand it. But that won't stop people from submitting the same subject ('rouble tanks') 10 times to Hacker News as if to prove their opinion of this conflict.
That site is bizarre. The text was made unselectable for some reason. It also appears to be a rehash of some other random site.

I remember some words that succinctly express something I often observe. To paraphrase:

> Left-wing and Right-wing are terms which make a lot of people falsely believe that they disagree with each other.

It is worth trying to find common ground with people “on the other side”.
It'd be weird that it's limited to specific outbound domains in that case.
Quote Investigator cites a Charles Frankel, in 1964, though my sense is that the saying long predates that (I seem to recall a variant attributed to Woodrow Wilson circa 1915). There are similar observations dating to Samuel Johnson in the 18th century:

In fact, primordial blackholes are a candidate for dark matter hypothesis. They are still invisible but at least we could devise a theory to detect them (light focusing/bending for examples)
As odd as it may sound at first, I think safe to say that the overall asymmetry in professional vs civilian forces has dramatically decreased over time. Spain's conquest of the Inca Empire, a warlike nation, is analogous to the edge professional militaries of the times would have had against peasants. And they were able to destroy an entire empire of these 'peasants', with an 'army' of exactly 168 Spaniards. Disease played a relatively small role given these absurdly disproportionate odds. What mattered was horses, weaponry, and armor. It was enough to make the Spaniards seem literally invincible.

In modern times, America has ostensibly the most powerful army on Earth. Yet in Afghanistan we lost to sandal wearing religious radicals primarily equipped with WW2 era weaponry and some improvised explosives. And our "victory" in Iraq was defined as being left constrained to micro-sized 'green zones' we're completely unable to leave without extensively armored and prepped convoys, or otherwise it's like to turn into a one way trip.

Of course the catch is that it's dumb to mock things as 'WW2 era weaponry.' A Talibani armed with a Springfield 1903, or Mauser 1898, numbers indicating their manufacturing date, is not only able to kill literally any soldier, but also from extremely far distances. And until the opportunity emerges said Talibani can simply keep that rifle tucked under his robes, looking just like any other civilian. Unless the e.g. US wants to simply start engaging in mass genocide, it's essentially impossible to defeat these sort of insurrections. Especially when each person you kill suddenly turns their otherwise moderate neighbors, friends, and brothers into the next insurrectionists.
It's all a google away.
Seeing this makes me wonder if it's some sort of server-side header bidding ad server gone haywire, rather than something nefarious. Why would they only delay browser agents otherwise?
What would those topics be? I guess they are suppressed quite well, since none come to mind.
I went through my own Twitter feed, and found 10 non-NYT links. All redirected almost immediately through t.co via wget, only lagging on the destination sites.

I also tried 5 NYT links. All had a very consistent 5 second delay through wget.

I could do more, but I don't care to. Everyone knows Elon has gone redpill, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's "owning the libs", but there also could be a dozen other reasons Twitter might do something like this (including plenty that are not nefarious). I just don't care to dig more...

Edit: I suppose I could have given the specific URLs, but I don't know if/how much t.co links leak info, so I'm not keen to do that. But the delay is absolutely on t.co and not the destination sites, at least as far as external users are concerned. It's possible that t.co queries the sites first before redirecting, and if e.g. the NYT is throttling their traffic that's what's delaying things. I don't know how to disambiguate that, but it's definitely a theory worth considering...
Exactly, it's one thing to rail against 'suicide influencers' or whatever, but he seems bent on having others suffer through their final time, aided by whatever medical tools are available.

For example, many doctors have 'do not resuscitate' orders, to prevent some extreme 'life preservation' interventions being performed on themselves, because they know first-hand how awful they are for the patient.

If people are genuinely ready to go, capable of making that decision, free from coercion or influence etc, they should be allowed to, IMHO.
The PDF document starting on page 102 has the timeline including vaccination and symptoms. It also contains:

- A family history of ME/CFS and schizophrenia

- The author's own experience with ME/CFS

- Successful self-treatment of ME/CFS and pre-schizophrenia

It puts the rest of the document in context.

Then why web.archive.org isn't also banned? [1] And what about things which aren't available from the original source anymore?

> censorship if you only apply the unwritten and secret "rules"

I mostly agree. I argued in an article [1] that it's only censorship if the author of the content is not told about the action taken against the content.

These days though, mods and platforms will generally argue that they're being transparent by telling you that it happens. When it happens is another story altogether that is often not shared.

From the Google doc, he had COVID in 2020 and made a quick and full recovery.

On May 6th 2021 he had his second vaccination and, almost immediately, all of his bizarre health issues began.

I've run into this issue a lot with ChatGPT, and almost never with GPT-4. I know it isn't always possible, but just using GPT-4 prevents this 99% of the time (basically 100% with proper prompting).
This will just be gamed. The universities need to take on some of the financial risk of loan default. No other system will work.
All of your sources are about acute or active covid infection. As a physician who worked in an ECMO center during the pandemic I am well aware of severe Covid-19 infections and as I stated in my post I tried searching, specifically looking on: UpToDate, Medscape and Google Scholar.

I am asking about "long-covid", also called "post covid condition". From Brandon's own description he had what would be classified as "mild COVID-19 illness" and was never hospitalized. He had some persistent symptoms that may be attributable to "long-covid", this is very different from your sources.

I have never heard of a death from long-term sequelae in someone who has never been hospitalized.
The study is looking at best corrected vision. That is, the best vision achievable with refractive (glasses, contacts, lasik) correction.
It's not their money to donate, stolen proceeds belong to the victims. They should've given it back to FTX.

Additionally, money is fungible, so the politicians can't claim the money is "gone" after being donated, since presumably they're not bankrupt and have other money FTX can claw back.
Yeah, I totally get it's a high quality problem. And, I feel you. Not to be "back in my day..." but I had to work 40 hours a week and live with 3 other people off campus to put myself through school. I understand sacrifice and hard choices.

But dude, after all that I wanted to give my kids the college experience I couldn't have. Let them live on campus, not have to work to pay tuition, be able to enjoy the benefits of both a strong curriculum and extra-curriculars and maybe even a social life to build networks for the future.

After working my own ass off my whole life, I make good money and have kids that can go almost anywhere. But...can't. All the living in a trailer park and full-time work will barely make a dent in some of these numbers.

But this really isn't a "woe is me" - I talk to a lot of other parents in exactly the same situation. I'm just at one end of a systemic middle class problem. You're either rich, in which case dropping $200K-$400K for a bachelors isn't a problem, or you're poor, in which case there's huge need-based aid available today.

If you're in the middle though, you're either squeezed out or taking on massive debts. This isn't even touching on the declining value of a bachelors and possible need to pay another $50-$60K for a Masters just to have an ROI.

(and I really wasn't slagging UNT. It's a fine school. My point was that it's hard to shift a teenager's thinking from a "dream school" to an affordable school without a significant amount of disappointment -- and the concomitant feelings of failure as a parent.)
What happens when biotech enables effectively (or in practice, externally undetectable) seamless integration of artificial storage into the brain? When millions have perfect photographic memory, are they not allowed to recall the memorized account of personally acquired sensory experiences? If so, can the handful of individuals who can do so today, with no such technological enhancement, be sued for perfectly 'remembering' extensive details of someone's past public statements/actions since scrubbed from the internet? Does Alice's right to be forgotten override Bob's right to remember what she did / said?
Sure, but someone could fork Chromium and add it in.
>>> you are feeding your model (or worse, someone else’s model) with peoples responses, which even if unidentified, still constitutes parts of the actual people…

I understand your concern here as that would be the usual way to do it.

I operate very differently though. The feeding (i.e., finetuning) is not automatic.

I don't feed the model (during finetuning) with the actual conversations, but I feed the model only with re-written conversations with re-written contexts that are more generalised. E.g. if a user is venting about some very specific quirk about their mothers, the finetuning dataset is a generalised vent about the mother.

If a person is discussing some extremely specific incident in his/her life, I actually don't want to feed that into the model as it could cause very weird overfitting!

>>> What you are asking people to submit is highly private and personal data that, under normal circumstances, would be highly regulated in terms of transmission and usage, identifiable or not.

From the narrow legalistic pov, this is not true because if the data is unidentifiable, it is not regulated under GDPR and personal data privacy laws.

However, more broadly, I agree with the general sentiment that you have, that this ought to be given the respect that it deserves.

>>> I advise you to reevaluate your choices and think of the consequences of what you’re proposing, whether your services manages to convince some gullible people to use it or not.

Morally, from the perspective of data protection, I really don't see the difference between what I am doing and Reddit. For example, users submit tons of very sad stories at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vent/. The users do it out of their free choice because it benefits them, and it is the same when they vent to BB.

At the end of the day, I do reflect on life. This is a side project for me and I do not need it for money. If I feel morally uncomfortable, I will stop BB. What keeps me going is the genuine belief that BB is helping some people and I think a world with BB is better than one without it!

You used to be able to tune a TV between channels and listen to the hiss of the cosmic microwave background. That’s light from millions of years before the first stars.

Digital TVs just don’t have that 2.73 degrees above absolute zero sound to them.
I am personally skeptical of the role of omega-3 and omega-6 in dementia, at least, one should never take these as supplements. It is a medical fact that they are highly unstable and basically worthless after only a day or so on the shelf, if not harmful.

One should only look to studies of genetically identical populations (you should be able to find one about nigerians in america) that acquire dementia at a high rate to observe that something about our capitalistically engineered environments is principally to blame.

fasttext word embedding is equivalent to adding a hidden layer, as long as you DON'T put a nonlinearity on it if that helps.
> What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. Dressing oddly gets you laughed at. Violating moral fashions can get you fired, ostracized, imprisoned, or even killed.

Tripping in Brawl was clearly introduced to punish dash dancing, not wave-dashing.

https://www.ssbwiki.com/Dash-dance#/media/File:Dashdance.gif

If you did this sequence in Brawl, you'd certainly trip.

Dash-dancing kept your momentum, allowing you to instantly move at full dash speed at a moment's notice. But it took great amounts of finger-dexterity to alternate left-right-left-right at this speed and keep the character's momentum at maximum.
It'd be amazing if we had honest, loyal, productive workforce in the Government. Many people do amazing job, but many don't. And they cannot be held accountable. I want extreme sense of accountability for government employees, tracking their performance and ability to fire them if they do not meet standards. Media should be doing that but media is in bed with the Gov.

If people missed, please check more departments, the default view in the article is just Police. There is similar crisis in gazillion other departments in the drop down menu.

We've create an incentive structure to make permanent administrative bloat of the magnitude mankind has never seen. What deeply bothers me is that most people are OK with that, they are OK with lazy government employees. They are OK with a state employed dystopia. They are OK with increasing bureaucracy and love participating in newer ways to expand the government.

Has anyone read the Chips Act? There are so many non-tech spending line items in there. It's just adding more and more administrative and managerial class of people.
An individual gun, let alone bullet, kills so few people you can practically treat it as zero if you zoom out far enough. Therefore any regulation whatsoever is meaningless.

Yeah, this is a very convenient rhetorical device for someone looking to trivialize important issues in bad faith.
Interesting! Think I read an article a while back (we're talking several years here) that said the Dotcom Bubble's biggest bust was a company called theGlobe.com - I think the founder was the grandson of the founder of Nestle or something along those lines.
They cost $50-70 each on Amazon or ULine. Awesome for stackable storage. With some plywood and casters, you can easily stack 6-8 tall in the garage and move them around with ease. Highly recommend.
TIL! Looks like its only some of the states, and that is a good point about Twitter not being an ISP. Twitter is incorporated in Delaware which has not passed state-level net neutrality, so I don't know if it would have mattered anyway.
Actually, re: my edit - I think it really is worth considering whether there might be an accidental delay here that's on the NYT side. It's totally possible that Twitter is hitting the sites it redirects people to before it actually sends them there, for either analytics purposes or otherwise, and I'd trust the NYT devops less than Twitter's w.r.t. making sure things were fast.

Incompetence before malice, etc...
Show HN: Used AI to turn people into GigaChads
Hey folks!
I want to share a project I've been working on during my free time over the past few months.

It's a mobile app that uses AI to turn people into over 30 famous meme images: from GigaChad to DiCaprio. You can check out some of the results here: https://mememes.app/

I was inspired by the Remix option in Midjourney. At the end of 2022 I saw an article how people using this feature combine two pictures and get some crazy results mixing people with animals and generating new memes.

Later, to have a little fun, I decided to prank my friend using the Midjourney Remix with his photos. However, I wasn't satisfied with the results.

So I built my own pipeline using Stable Diffusion + DreamBooth + some other components, and created a few images by mixing his face with memes. Results were hilarious and I decided to build MeMemes app.

I hope you all enjoy it and have some fun, and would love to hear your feedback!
Popularity? Yeah, among corporate lawyers. It's no accident that Oracle v. Google went like 12 years.

Strict terms? Yeah. When free and permissive are said to be opposites, you know you're in a psych ward.

A shout-out and thank-you to the transphobes who downvoted this without replying and explaining why they hate trans people so much, proving my point that they know they're wrong and don't have a leg to stand on to justify their bigotry, because their arguments and justifications for their hatred won't withstand scrutiny. If I've convinced them to finally shut the fuck up and instead just silently downvote in shame without commenting, then at least that's a step in the right direction.
Really getting sick and tired of the gaslighting around how awesome LED bulbs supposedly are. Over the last 5 years I've probably chucked more LED bulbs into the bin than I have incandescents. They flicker. They buzz. I've had an entire case of brand new Feit bulbs go bad. They generate high frequency noise making AM radio reception unusable (especially when on dimmers). I even had one melt down into a smelly, gooey, mess releasing wonderful fumes into my home in the process.

Know what I never had to do when I had incandescent bulbs? Use a lookup table to verify the make and model of my light bulb was compatible with my dimmer. Or have it not be compatible at all. Or read that the bulb is "not for use in enclosed fixtures" which is most bedroom lights and ceiling fans.
While long Covid is an encompassing term, there is symptom overlap between long COVID and ME/CFS. Around 50% of people with long COVID meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ME/CFS.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-023-00904-7

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-022-00846-2

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2023.1090...

Mild ME/CFS is usually associated with around 50% reduction in daily functioning. Moderate will usually lead to people being housebound and intermittently bed-bound. Severe and very severe are associated with a level of suffering that is hard to imagine possible.

An example of someone becoming severe is PhysicsGirl - Dianna Cowern.

https://youtu.be/vydgkCCXbTA

The associated severe dysautonomia means that people are unable to sit or stand and often they can not eat or digest. They may require intravenous nutrition. Regrettably there are cases where the disease has not been treated appropriately and young people have died as a result. A recent example is Maeve Boothby-O'Neill and her father Sean O'Neill wrote in The Times with an interview with Maeve's Mother by Dr David Tuller.

This site has been more useful to me as the only site I know of that doesn't have https, for testing things, rather than as an example domain.
You're correct again. Spammers and bots are the most determined actors, so these secretive measures don't impact them.

In fact, such secrecy benefits spammers. Good-faith users never imagine that platforms would secretly action content. So when you look at overall trends, bots, spammers and trolls are winning while genuine users are being pushed aside.

I argued that secrecy benefits trolls in a blog post, but I don't want to spam links to my posts in the comments.
Orwell was certainly not a fan of Soviet communism. In fact, an especially astute reader of "Animal Farm" may notice subtle hints concerning Orwell's opinion of communism.

This varies widely by switch model, and 16k is on the low end. I looked at a few random Cisco and Arista switch datasheets just now and saw numbers ranging from 16k to 768k (usually 25% to 100% of the unicast MAC table size of the same switch).

Unicast MAC table space is scarce, too, and suffers the same failure modes when filled. You don't see people claiming this makes IPv4 over Ethernet infeasible. Do proper capacity planning, and this isn't a problem. Oversubscribe your network, and this is a problem even without multicast in the picture.
Again: it’s a Tom Clancy novel. It’s fictional
I couldn’t agree more. Except that the cost for a data tool is incredibly higher than any FE tool.

I manage both a FE team and a data team. The former spends around 1k/month on infra and hosting. While the data team easily spends 20k/month.

The gold rush is data. Build shovels.
Vice blocked news stories that could offend Saudi Arabia, insiders say
No modern gamer would have accepted the crappy movement of Dragoons and/or Goliaths.

What's ironic is that by "fixing" all units to move gracefully, it seemingly made Starcraft2 more of a deathball-oriented game. In many ways, Starcraft is fun because many powerhouse units move so wonky and unreliably... negating "deathball" as a strategy.

But no newbie would want to practice a game with such weird movement mechanics. We need to evolve past expert-knowledge just to move-and-shoot, and yet still achieve a high level of strategic thought.

I do think AoE2 is moving along that path however (!!). The new DLC (lol, yeah, DLC for a game released nearly 25 years ago) is pretty fun.
