Can confirm; lived about 300 yards away from the 10 freeway in Culver City for several years. The balcony would get coated in fine black dust in just a couple weeks' time. Literally no one would grow vegetables outside--that would be madness. I knew then it was brake dust and tires. Disappointing that this stuff turns out to be even more toxic than I thought.
You don’t need to.

“I don’t use email anymore. I need you to communicate any important information about my child’s education to me through other means. Would you rather send notices home with my child or call my home phone?”

Or some variant thereof. “I reviewed the privacy policy and have serious concerns, no longer agree with the terms of use and cannot use this platform.” (I’m sure if you go read it it won’t even be a lie; all the ones I’ve seen have been awful.) Or “My phone broke and I can’t afford a new one so I can’t check my email.” Or “I’ve had a religious revelation and will no longer be making use of any technology created after 1970.”

Once someone has to make an active decision to contact you instead of just mass-spamming the entire school with a button press I guarantee nobody goes “Yeah, I really should call jacquesm and ask if he can bring coffee to the PTA meeting.”

Micron to Ship HBM3E Memory to Nvidia in Early 2024
The Dell XPS 13 inch series was a great pick, and then there was an Asus series, I think the 'B' series, that weighed less than a macbook air, had much longer battery, and had far more ports. Also could be charged with only a usb c cable, no special adapter.

Why would you doubt there are better options? The whole thing about the PC market is it has a much greater diversity of choices. It's silly to think Apple simply makes the best machine for a price point out of all available PC and Mac models.
I would like to see a better alternative way to discourage both bot-accounts and, to a lesser extent, human-farmed accounts.

As comforting as it may be, labelling yourself can be super detrimental in the long run.

Maybe at first you attach a label to yourself to belong, or to find others who feel similarly. Maybe you do it as a way to try to "skip" past the parts of your life where you have to find out who you are, what you like, etc.

Once you attach such a label, for example "I'm a democrat", "I'm a lone wolf", "I'm straight", etc., and maybe you even tell people and put it in your online profiles, you introduced inertia into your own personality. Find our you're bisexual, or maybe your political opinions are a bit too complex to just say "democrat", or maybe you enjoy working in teams if its the right people (as in this post). I may feel like I belong to a group now, but tomorrow that may change, and then I have to justify that to myself and others.

I will have to admit that either I changed, or I was wrong, and that can be very hard.

Labels are detrimental, and I would recommend not using them. Every person is their own individual, and there is very little sense in trying to list and specify every single group, label and subculture you are part of. Just replace it with "I'm me", and that's all you need.

Theres a lot of trendiness with labelling yourself "ADHD" or "different" or "depressed" (etc.) on social media, and the same rules apply here.

I think when people are saying "I'm Greek but ..." they mean that they think this despite their self interest.

People don't really have ideals anymore these days but just vote and do what's best for their own interests. I applaud it when someone does stick by their ideals.

Even though in this case I don't agree, like I wrote I think the EU was too harsh on Greece. This problem was caused by all of us together. And no I'm not Greek myself :)
It looks like it’s saying that Death is a wanker.

Even in professional audio environments, monitor speakers' electronics are generally designed to filter out such high frequencies.

The "frequency response" spec listed on speakers will tell you what range they are designed to reproduce. Typically, it's approximately 20Hz to 20,000Hz to match human hearing, perhaps with a higher floor if the speaker is designed to be paired with a subwoofer. This range is usually a deliberate (and sensible) limitation imposed by the electronics, not necessarily the materials or the magnet design, etc.

Some speaker manufacturers will list abnormally low or high range numbers on the spec sheet in an attempt to attract customers who mistakenly believe a wider range means the speaker is better. But even those speakers have a steep roll off curve at the extreme ends of the range, so it barely makes any difference.
I've been driving for over 40 years, 300K miles or so, in multiple parts of the US and occasionally other countries, no serious mishaps and totally clean record for over half of that time. If you want to say that most drivers really suck I'll agree, but what was the point of that misguided attempt at character assassination? Read the guidelines before you reply, since you've already stepped over that line.
This utilitarian reduce-to-numbers approach misses the important matter of the inevitability of death.

In the grand scheme of things, all those who died purely from COVID were going to die anyway.

A more important question is what has happened as a result of societies responses to this pandemic, especially in light of how marginal this virus' lethality was (this was no plague).

It has set precedent that in the case of relatively minor social distress, the government can take unlimited power, and the populace will just knod their heads.

It has also set precedent that the old can parasitize the young even further. Saving a few boomers a few years is worth masking up young school kids, affecting their communicative and social development.

The only silver lining to this has been the resulting explosion of remote work, which of course the boomers are now trying to undo. Fortunately, that's a cat-out-of-the-bag.

It's unfortunate that the boomers didn't learn an important lesson from their parents, who fought WW2 - sometimes dying is the right and proud thing to do.

Twitter pedophilia is still active, especially in Japan, where they spread pornographic illustrations of girls on a daily basis. Twitter is not unaware of the problem, as related words are often trending, and they are probably leaving the sex offenders alone because Twitter does not have native Japanese-speaking moderators and Japan is Twitter's largest market.
New study of political ads shoots down popular Democratic theories
160/mo seems very expensive. I pay $900/yr for my parents' car.
Not sure what the parent meant by it, but he presents in public as a democracy skeptic and authoritarian technocrat (with the exact same “and by technocrat I mostly mean rich and sharing my opinions, of course” thing that nearly all such people end up at). He’s pretty up-front about it. Exactly the kind of person I’d like to see with no access to levers of power or anything else important.

He appears to follow the same pattern as lots of other rich captain-of-industry authoritarians we’ve seen… well, since the advent of modern democracy, really, to a T. The background on it’s kinda a boring read, because it’s so familiar. Wikipedia’s got the gist and links to the details, but I’m sure someone out there’s got a site that catalogs the whole thing.

I agree the statement "DMARC passes if SPF (inclusive or) DKIM passes"

I was only trying to point out that "and/or" is ambiguous (which we agree, and Wikipedia even agrees - 2 paragraphs for a defintion, 5 paragraphs of criticism) and one of those ambiguities is thinking it means logical AND - which is something DMARC does not do.

Using just "or" would have been fine and conveyed the same meaning as it does now.

I had a look at their subreddit. They currently have one giant thread asking "Do you think cars should be banned outright?", and not a single upvoted comment is even saying yes.[1]

Overall they seem more concerned with how car-centric infrastructure and too many cars in cities reduce quality of life.

It's fair to say you're misrepresenting that community. Why?

> As the Higgs field is what gives particles mass

Mass is a generic property of particles in a QFT. Unless there are symmetry considerations constraining them (gauge bosons like the photon, for instance, must be massless to avoid violating their corresponding gauge symmetries), masses are free parameters and zero is not particularly more natural than any other value.

What the Higgs mechanism does is add effective mass even to particles which are intrinsically massless, so long as they couple to the Higgs field. For the standard model, that means leptons, quarks, and the W and Z bosons. But there are other fundamental particles with intrinsic masses (the Higgs boson itself, for instance), and composite can acquire mass from their binding energy even if their constituents are massless.

IIUC, evaporative cooling is capable of far, far, far greater cooling capacity per unit of flow. I can't speak to all datacenters everywhere, but the one I did work with had astonishing water usage, as the water was vaporized as it absorbed the thermal energy, the gas conveniently full of all that extra molecular wigglin' and shakin'. Getting the water back via condensation, can't really do that in quantities that match the heat, not without spending another big pile of energy. No free lunch I guess.

You have an analogue in weapons design, as this is one of the big reasons we haven't seen caseless ammunition. The case - in addition to providing a hot seal for the high pressure gas - also is an absolutely amazing heat sink, ejecting all that thermal mass right out the top of the weapon. Caseless ammo, the breech, barrel, bolt . . honestly, the wholy weapon - gets real hot real fast, exacerbated by the fact that now, with no case, everything has to have tight seals.
Pretty much the universal consensus seems to be Raspberry Pis.

Raspberry Pis were created for kids (originally built to support a BBC-sponsored educational program), and they remain fully committed to supporting kids.

Visit https://www.raspberrypi.org/ to see how they execute on that vision. Lots of great and manageable projects for kids ranging from relatively simple cook-book-based projects to sky's-the-limit adventures in insanity.

Go for nothing less than a Pi 4 8GB (required to run VScode reasonably). Or a Pi 5 obviously.

A GPIO breadboard might be a good strategy to get them hooked initially; but the novelty wears off pretty quickly. Offer to buy them any Pi hat or camera or panel that interests them. None of them are particularly expensive.
Such a brave take, you must be some sort of freethinking renegade, ostracised by the deep physics conspiracy.

ICU capacity consists of the room, the equipment and the staffing. Once oxygen saturation starts to drop the treatment options are oxygen and eventually intubation and a medically induced coma. There is no realistic scenario where untrained or semi-trained individuals are going to be able to provide that support and even if the staffing shortages could be worked around there wasn’t adequate equipment.

The at home treatment option was to watch the patient drown in their own fluids. There are few people in that scenario that would have the emotional capacity to calmly give support to a close family member or friend when there was no ICU capacity. Their more realistic scenario would be people loading the patient into the car and driving to the nearest hospital. Some percentage of that population will likely turn violent.
Show HN: Create AI Optical Illusions
Hey HN!

I've been a fan of the recent trend of AI-generated "illusion" images, so to better learn how it works, I built a little website that lets you generate these types of images.

You can try it at: https://hidden-images.vercel.app/

The homepage has a few examples of the types of images this app can generate.

This is a super rough WIP, but wanted to share it here to get feedback! :D

Have fun! :)
That is precisely why one or more emergency communication protocols are necessary. They need to be carefully designed to reduce the risk of infiltration by scammers. As with all forms of security, some level of convenience will need to be sacrificed.

I considered your examples to describe two different kinds of scenarios, which might merit different kinds of security measures.

1. Incoming communication from a young child (or a person who is very dependent on you): you'll probably want your phone line to stay fully open. Hopefully in the case of young children, this means that their parents are relatively young and will have grown up with skepticism toward incoming communication from strangers.

2. Incoming communication about a younger, adult relative. Maybe for many people, such communication could bear the introduction of a bit of slowness by security measures. Probably in most cases, there's little that the older relative can do for the younger, temporarily incommunicado relative. They might not need to get a message about them right away. In many cases, the message will be bad news anyway, something that the older parent can do nothing about. Such bad news can probably wait a few hours, even a day or two to be delivered, and it's not too bad for the older relative to be none the wiser for a bit, if such temporary impotence protects them from the increasingly present threat of serious, life-altering scams.

As with all security measures, there's a tradeoff between convenience/immediacy/cost and security. It will likely be hard to design reliable, secure, and accessible emergency communication protocols, but I hope (and optimistically suspect) that it's indeed possible. Attempting to design such protocols is a worthy endeavor for us to undertake, given how many of our loved ones are increasingly vulnerable to randos who have no business getting to their front door so easily.

Well you've got me beat in years and mileage, but I've probably driven, like, 200,000 miles, and my experience has been that people are, by and large, extremely careless when driving cars. They will happily put other people's lives at risk in order to save themselves a handful of seconds, and sometimes it doesn't even come down to that, because they were just looking at their phone and weren't really paying attention.

Don't ever call them out on this though, because you'll never hear the end of it.

Anyway, I don't trust any of them, and if you had any sense, you wouldn't either. But I'm not your dad, so I can't tell you what to do. Good luck out there!

EDIT: you edited your reply? - or (more likely!) I am retarded and missed the last sentence first time round, sorry about that. Anyway, the so-called misguided attempt at character assassination was neither, just a bit of pointed mockery aimed at what I see as a crappy opinion. I stand by it - I think it's vaguely amusing enough to have value for the general reader, and not offensive enough to be really problematic. Page dang if you're still unhappy.

That's not why, I ride without brakes because it fundamentally changes the space I am operating in. If I want to ride with a reasonable safety margin (I do) I have to think about the world in a completely different way. I enjoy that.

> I think "non-moving" in Sanskrit should be "achara", not "achaara", i.e. a short "a" sound, not a long one, for the second syllable.

Thanks for the correction. Yes, "achaara" is non moving. "achara" simply doesn't exist AFAICT, so my point stands that it's a Persian borrowing, not a Sanskrit derivative.
I can't answer that question without understanding why you think the relationship you're describing necessarily makes it one that isn't ceremonial (which is what you seem to be implying). You go first.
