As someone who used to be very into photography, there are two other artistic advantages of a disposable camera or film cameras in general.

One, that you cannot see the photo you just took; it makes you more careful with your framing (similarly to your point about only having so many shots), and further helps you stay connected to the scene, instead of "chimping" the shot you just took.

Two, that because there is a period of time elapsed between when you take the shots and when you get back the results after the film has been processed, there is an additional delight factor when you get your photos back, and it can help you see your shots in a different light.

It's an interesting phenomenon that a technically superior implementation don't always mean the artistically superior implementation. Of course, a working photographer (working in news or sports) will sensibly choose the technically superior implementation; but the dilettante has more options, and I encourage all of them to explore those options.
I think the former. Thanks, I’ll look into it!

I have learned to hate IAR Embedded Workbench in the two years that I've been forced to use it. It will just randomly refuse to give me a function/method list or claim it doesn't know where a value is defined. I'm not much of a fan of Keil products either.

I would use VScode for everything if I could. But for the life of me, I can't get debugging working in VS Code, using the IAR plugins and a j-Trace/j-Link. Works fine with ST-Link though, go figure.
Right, but that clarification was pre-edit?

I'm aware of people's sensitivity to putting demands on efforts like this, which is why I tried to frame it as the genuine curiosity it is.

This sort of low-level work is out of my depth. Is there painstaking probing to find different addresses/states between a Max and an Ultra? The M2 Ultra has two GPU variants (60-core and 72-core), although the Pro and Max also have GPU count variants. Are those transparent from this OpenGL driver's point of view? Or is there timing/dispatch work involved? Hence the question!

I would have made an explicit criticism if I had one. I implied nothing, but I realize that has no bearing on what the reader can or will infer...
Bookmarked. This is information dense and useful!

Some notes:

1. The exchange rates are confusing to me. For example, on the page for Chase Ultimate Rewards, I see things like

Exchange Rate (USD)
2.00¢ : 1.20¢

How am I supposed to read that? 2¢ becomes 1.2¢ doesn't mean anything to me. I'm assuming it means that 2pts : 1.2¢. Is that right?

2. The Amazon Rewards ratio for miles is also confusing. What does it mean to get airline miles at Amazon? Why is that ratio different than the USD ratio?

3. Also, your links have a little arrow (→), which usually means the link will point to another website. But that arrow is on all your links, including internal ones. This made me a bit hesitant to click on any of them at first, because I was looking for more links inside your site.

This setting is a classic in the "tweak Firefox" blog posts.

Increasing connection count will make HTTP 1.1 websites faster, but they'll also cause random rate limiting errors if you increase the value too much. How high you should set this value is up to you, but it's one of the first things you should reset when websites start acting weird in Firefox but not in other browsers.

There are a bunch of psychology phenomena that explain such things. No Wifi involved.

I generally find the followers to be quite suggestable by people they designated as a guru.
> We have ideas like biological taxonomies and genetics that provide a shared basis for cross-cultural understanding and exploration of universally relevant fields. “We need that for the deep end of spiritual experience,” he said. “What works as well in Riyadh, as Rome, as Rio, as rural Alabama? What’s the functional, scalable essence?”

That was the purpose comparative tools like correspondence charts[1] were intended for; Aleister Crowley and Allan Bennett put a bunch of effort of surveying all spiritual experience they could learn about, followed by tabulating it all and trying to pattern match. The result was a shared basis for cross-cultural understanding, though the actual form of it could be heavily criticised.

> Advanced meditation for everyone?

> “My hope is that ultimately, this work will contribute to bringing advanced meditation out of the monastery,” Sacchet said, describing its “incredible promise for moving beyond addressing mental health issues, toward helping people thrive.”

That was also Crowley's primary goal: to show that anyone at all could attain, and easily, while living a normal life, and thought that it would help them thrive. He stated this over and over again.

I love that we're finally making effort towards the thought he had, that

> Diverse as these statements [on mystical experiences] are at first sight, all agree in announcing an experience of the class which fifty years ago would have been called supernatural, to-day may be called spiritual, and fifty years hence will have a proper name based on an understanding of the phenomenon which occurred. (Book 4, Part 1; 1911[2])

though it's 70 years later than he thought. I'd love to be involved in work like this, both as an occultist/experienced meditator, and as a computer scientist / software developer, though I don't know how to get involved. Maybe by contacting the EPRC listed? :)

May all attain!

I'm not asking how long it can keep accelerating. You keep making things overly-complicated.

We (per the estimates above) need to be installing about 800 MW of new renewable power generation every week every week for the next 30 years. We're currently at about 400 MW installed every week. So we need to grow to somewhere around or above that target, and then sustain that same rate for 30 years. (Or possibly fewer years if we are installing way above that rate.)

My question is simply, given that large rate of installation, can we actually sustain that rate for 30 years?

Presumably we will eventually be hitting that target rate, at least, and hopefully we will continue to do so for some time. But if markets don't continue to support installing solar at that same pace in 10 or 20 years, we won't hit our targets. That's all I'm saying.
As it is, they have to deal with the nuisance of you buzzing and they know you're going to probably ignore any important things they send your way. At least turn notifications off so you can spend time with your kids distraction free and it's not a total lose-lose for all involved.

But surely if you just bought a <Roomba> and like it and intend to buy it again as a gift then you don’t need an advert for Roombas - (and showing you such an advert followed by you buying another Roomba is making the advert look more effective than it was) - and you definitely don’t need an advert for Bissel or Dyson, and you definitely don’t need a dozen adverts for Amazon PLINGBA BEST VACUUM, TYBCHO VACUUM EXPERT, DAOLPTRY VACUUM CLANER etc etc?
I'm not even sure that chat GPT is really the answer to these kind of captchas. I figured people would probably do a little bit of custom programming to quickly answer the question and then perform the action.

But if everybody writes their own custom challenge, now that's a lot of targets. Whereas right now we've already trained the AI to identify all the stoplights, and that kind of captcha is ubiquitous. They just have to solve it once and then a whole bunch of websites are vulnerable.

And most websites aren't actually that high value, for example mine. Is anybody going to spend the time reverse engineering a simple captcha just so they can post comments to my blog that no one reads? :)

But if I used something off the shelf that they already have a solution for, then sure they would.
How do you do that with disparate, disconnected systems?
It's positive in the same way eating a bunch of sugary donuts gives you a temporary short lasting dopamine boost. It's easily digestible with zero nutritional value. Rapid videos in succession short video formats that inject you with a quick dopamine hit are in fact NOT good for your mental health. This is why you see people continuously swipe for hours a day There are plenty of studies showing this.

You're just rewiring your brain in a way that it'll want easily obtained dopamine with zero work. This leads to a rebound effect where you'll become bored quickly and depressed without it (similar to a recovering addict)

It's not really "what you make of it".

Obviously it was a pointless war. That doesn't mean that if it didn't happen we'd spend all the money that went to it on nuclear. If we spent a trillion more on renewables we'd be far further ahead than if that money went to nuclear.
Just wait for someone to run malware on your mystery cloud instance of Excel. Have you seen the cross-instance and cross-domain security holes Microsoft has been running into? The latest and greatest was on their Power Platform ("Excel-like"). Nothing like silently shipping your data off to a remote location for inspection by blackhats. Microsoft cloud security is torn apart and laying all over the floor right now...nevermind all the half baked features that let you get kneck deep in a project before you see the grande middle finger from project hellscape.

Firefox has a really poor implementation of multi-profile compared to chrome though. There's no built in way to create shortcuts for each profile, no profile switcher icon on the toolbar, etc... Not to mention how much of a PIA it is to get windows to pin multiple firefox shortcuts for different profiles to your taskbar and get them to behave properly.

Edge's multi-profile support blows them both out of the water though, with the ability to right click tabs and move them between profiles, automatically open links for certain domains in certain profiles, being able to set a default profile for external links, etc...
I'm more worried what a foreign government would do with the private information of every US citizen, as opposed to what a domestic company would do. I'm still worried in both cases, but one of these situations seems much worse to me.

> I believe income inequality is bad because many people don't have enough to live comfortably and my parents taught me sharing is important.

The "living comfortably" metric is useful. It rules out the "hunter gatherer" argument where we're back in stone age, presumably not comfortable but as equal as can be.

If everyone had enough to live comfortably but inequality increased, would that be OK?

Perhaps a bit off topic, but I've been playing around with NixOS lately, and I don't understand what the advantages of using flakes are, or really what problem they solve. Granted, my interest in Nix is simply because I think it's cool to have the OS be configurable from a file, and I'm personally less interested in some of the reproducibility features. I've tried reading up[0] on some of the advantages of using them, but my eyes start to glaze over pretty quickly.

is permission slip available as a service, vs an app?

forcing users to install apps, which can harvest much more personal data, seems sketchy to me, especially for a service that's supposed to understand that the user doesn't want that
> Meanwhile, we deploy that all the time.

Well, no. It's double our current rate of deployment, and that doubled rate will need to be sustained for decades.

It's not "innumeracy" to say that's going to be hard. Not impossible, but hard, and we haven't yet demonstrated that we're going to do it.
These two are tremendously cool.

The story seems really complicated from a technical point of view.

Whom is OpenGL ES 3.1 compliance for?

Apple is shipping DirectX compatibility in Game Porting Toolkit.

I understand you are making a stylized comment. My stylized comment is, there's a lot of stuff going on everywhere, all the time, with all sorts of technologies. You're not illuminating for me, compared to all the other people toiling in obscurity, what about this has pressed so many buttons for the Hacker News audience? Because it's not OpenGL ES 3.1 compliance.
Yes exactly. I don't know much about deleteme but I know a decent amount about the aggregation and reselling of data. Any time an event happens with some entity they will sell/contribute your information to a data aggregator which puts it everywhere. So if you buy a house or get a credit card or a loan, your info is back.

If you want to be horrified, use a different email address for each service. I have a domain that I configured to forward to me, so for example if I got a loan through Hacker News Home Loans, I'd give them email "hackernewshomeloans@example.com" . Doesn't work for everything, but it is a good eye opener.
I would view each billionaire as being good at one thing.
Nobody needs to be as good as basketball as Lebron James. Nobody needs to be as good at Baseball as Babe Ruth. The existence of these outliers doesn't diminish anyone else. They merely show what is possible. It's only because we are so used to it that we even suggest redistribution for the money of billionaires. Nobody is suggesting we redistribute the point achievements of the top 10% athletes to the bottom 20%. Nobody suggests redistributing the grades of the top of the class to those failing at the bottom of the class. After all nobody needs 100% on an exam, if you lower their grade to 80% and redistribute those grade points suddenly more people are graduating.
Why is redistributing money right, but redistributing credit for grades games and culture wrong?
Has any book-burning movement in history actually succeeded in getting ride of the books?

Because I don't know of any, they manage to destroy a text here or there, but there were always some compatible texts that survived. AFAIK, we really didn't lose useful knowledge to them.

(And let's not forget that today we made life much harder for the book burners.)

What really does destroy knowledge is it becoming useless for a long period of time. As in losing all of CS because nobody can make a computer yet. But we have an instinct to preserve knowledge, even when it's absolutely useless. This has already saved a lot of technology, and it's hard to imagine how some disaster would stop it.

Personally, I have a hard time imagining something that would throw us at the stone (or bronze, or iron) age, but still fail to destroy all the life on Earth.
> "doing statistics" to hide their delays

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics." The older I get, the more true this becomes!
Flake utils as most people use it is often useless if not dangerous (leading users into errors you’ll now get bug reports for). To write a for loop over systems is 1–5 lines of Nix code instead of pulling in a dependency & it’s subdependencies. If you’re not testing systems, it might also not be wise to use defaultSystems & assuming it just works; often you are better served just picking the architectures you can test, or at least doing a union of the buildInputs’s support matrix.
There's some discussion here about linking diagrams to code or vice-versa. And while that's useful for documenting code already written, where I personally have found diagrams to be the most useful is in the planning discussions before and during writing the code in the first place.

A room full of people can talk about things for hours without making progress, but as soon as you starting moving boxes and arrows around on a screen suddenly people have more targeted thoughts about what they agree with or what should change.

The diagram is useful for planning the extend and structure of the work to be done, and coordinating the team that is building it to make sure we have a shared mental model.

Once that project is done, the diagram is likely already out of date. No plan survives contact with the enemy and all that. But for this use case its job is complete and it can be discarded or archived with the rest of the planning work.

Diagramming for long term documentation is a slightly different use case, and for that I tend to agree more with documentation that at least lives with the code and can be updated alongside it, manually or automatically. I just personally haven't worked in orgs large enough to pay off that level of investment.
