The article has this:
"Charging your phone with a higher wattage USB-C charger, those above 20 watts, may also make the devices toasty. "
Total BS. The wattage of the charger is not causing this issue.
Even a 300 Watt PD 3.0 USB-C charger still delivers up to 21 Volts at whatever current the phones charger decides it needs.
The phone dictates how much power is consumed. The charger wattage is simply the maximum specified output power.
Because JS is worse, and doesn't work everywhere css does.

10-15 years from now you are going to have China (An economic and manufacturing superpower) aligning with Russia (An energy and military superpower). It astounds me that people don't see the idiocy and danger in what we are encouraging; also the chilling effect of letting the world know that we wield economic power as a weapon, driving the BRICS nations further away economically.

That isn't 10-15 years away. That's right now. As the rest of the world quotes: "Never interrupt your adversary while they are making a big mistake".

The US seems intent on going to war with one country that can destroy the US in half an hour with nukes, and with another that has much more manufacturing capacity and four times the military-age population and can destroy the US conventionally.

That's a dumb decision that's on a par with the dumb decision to kick off Operation Barbarossa in 1941 when the Germans expected that it would be a breeze to attack the Soviet Union which had a greater population and had a far greater manufacturing capacity than Germany had.
I suspect it has more to do with the active balancing on the thing stopping from one moment to the other. You’d just tip forward before you can react.
I’m assuming they mean squash merging into main once the PR is accepted. That way you have 1 commit on main that links back to 1 PR with N commits on it. Which is easier to follow on main branch rather than a million commits per PR
Seems very uncomfortable and only useful if someone really can't afford the $100-300 for a normal camping air or self-inflating pad, which seems miles better than this.

And if you are OK with uncomfortable then a simple closed-cell foam mat, while possibly a bit more expensive, seems far more reliable, durable and cleanable than this.

Every eye doctor I've known has also said to never rub your eyes, for any reason.

Here's just a short, non-exhaustive list, as to why rubbing your eyes is a bad idea:

* it's very easy to scratch your cornea

* touching your eyes or eyelids is an easy way to introduce infections

* rubbing can increase the pressure on your eyes, which can cause damage

* rubbing to try to get something out of your eye risks more damage, as now you're rubbing a foreign body around delicate corneas and such

Eyes are also special in that has a dampened immune response. Eyes are relatively fragile as a result.

There are times when you want to rub your eyes because they itch. Doing nothing is the best approach. Your eye will work it out, or the urge will go away. Same for when something trivial is in your eye. Your tears will flush it out.

For non trivial contamination, use water. I have to assume there are exceptions, but when in doubt, water will flush it out.

And as noted in other threads, Llama2 out of the box really does do that kind of nonsense, like refusing to tell the user how to kill a Linux process because that's too violent.
How do you tell young families (women in particular) to have more children to avoid population collapse? This is a very real problem in a number of wealthy countries. I am not aware of government policies that have managed to coerce educated women to be wanting to have more (or any) children.
w3schools is also a great place.. And I believe they have a course you can run through.
It got more than that, some more redundant sensors, pilot training specific to the plane, and an option to override the system.

Waterloo is an anomaly due to young blood and highly selective culture but the real problem is Canadian culture. As soon as it hit that, RIM collapsed. Canadians simply don't have the risk appetite to test new ideas and change directions. Hence you will not find a single company in Canada which is at all innovative or disrupting.
I think we are finding out more every decade. It takes a long time for this to be established and accepted.
I work in aerospace, and it will be interesting to see when Rust will turn into the defacto standard for DAL-B or safer systems. However, if there is a language that can beat Ada, I think Rust is it, and this is one huge step to make this a reality.

It just seems crazy to put the GNAT label on it... when it isn't GNAT.

Unless they're doing something clever like taking LLVM IR and translating and putting it through the GNAT backend or something?

In a somewhat surreal turn of events, the author of that post concludes that "Hobbled by such constraints and limitations, China's chatbots are certain to be inferior to those of free societies."

(He is prone to slamming the CCP regardless of whether he can make a logical case, which is odd since it's not like it's hard to make justified criticisms. He is also known for his habit of deleting comments if he doesn't like them, which is why that post has only the one comment on it.)
The point you're missing is that the actual associations between those terms and other concepts are baked into the model, such that 'harmful'<->'Kanye West music' is a strong enough association for it to actively refuse to answer the question once prompted that way.
So you have endless "Fix a" "Typo" "fixup" "revert redo" "add y missed in z" commits and then the squash pushes all that crap into the commit message for whatever the final mess will be?

Here is a random series from DRM patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/list/?series=...

Would you squash that? Hell no, of course not. You would be mixing atomic changes in different subsystems. It breaks bisect and makes blames a mess.

Honestly, squash merges are frequently a sign of people who lack mastery in Git itself or make no effort to produce high-quality independent commits.
So dramatic lol

This is super specific to an obscure blockchain. I feel like OP should provide a Conflict of Interest statement.
> I didn't say that it belongs at the same level of abstraction, and no that isn't necessarily implied.

The definition of fundamental is, in this context, best compared with this one from Merriam Webster: "of or relating to essential structure, function, or facts" -- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fundamental

When you compare things using "as", you're stating equivalence.

The statement "Conscious awareness appears to be a fundamental aspect of the universe -- as fundamental as the four known fundamental forces" states that consciousness is as relative to the essential structure as the four fundamental known forces.

The most literal meaning of what you said above is: Consciousness is as relative to the essential structure, function, or facts as the four known fundamental forces.

If that's not what you intended, then you're free to acknowledge that you misspoke, and to correct your previous statement with a clearer, more precise meaning.

But to say "and no that isn't necessarily implied" is wrong.
“Now”, this technology is multiple decades old at this point, but due to it still being a niche, low-volume product, is still fiendishly expensive. The previous (192x192 port) version of that Huber-Suhner switch ran nearly $205k the last time I priced it out and that was with discount approximately four years ago.

Individual MEMS mirrors are multiple $hundreds each, fiber collimators are approximately a hundred bucks in quantity.

The technique was passed down from a self-help practitioner and credited to someone with PhD ... sceptitismometer should be high about claims like that. That said if it works to help photography that is a good usage and no harm in trying. If they start saying this helps cure cancer then run.
One other caveat is that it's designed for environments with high certification requirements like aerospace. When you're in that space, you're glad to pay those license costs for that assurance!
Replace the helmet anyway. I’m fairly certain even a used helmet beats having nothing on your head.
I'm pretty sure this approach is somewhat similar to the mailing list git approach, where patches usually get submitted once ready and then changed depending on feedback as a wholly new submitted patch (as part of a broader conversation).

It'd be a useful thing to import without having to bring in the whole charade of using email and mailing lists (which most mail clients tend to be very unfavorable of in general nowadays) - there's real advantage to doing this in a web interface instead.

UX would probably be more difficult though. The current workflow of "submit branch, make PR, do changes on same branch, merge latest version through web interface" is a big part of the ease of the Github UX. Doing a merge outside of that just by pulling in the right remote branches has always been a crapshoot at best and a pain in the ass at worst. Not helped by the fact that Github's documentation on how to do it in git is obscure (intentional I'm sure; I know it's possible but the docs are scattered and all of it recommend just using their gh CLI tool at this point).
Adjectives don't nest. Lists of adjectives all apply to the subject not each other. Each adjectives applies without reference to others.
The way Windows handles it seems to be that hardware rendering of the pointer is turned off when you drag around windows. It was very obvious when I was using f.lux, the bright white pointer would turn yellow like the rest of the screen when dragging.

Maybe you could try turning the actual cursor invisible when dragging and instead render a custom drag cursor parented to the object being dragged.
I did backcountry trail work for a summer. We'd camp and live deep in the woods, in Congressionally designated wilderness areas, where no vehicles and motorized equipment are allowed (generally speaking).

We'd find a section of hiking trail that'd need fixing, and bring in several weeks of food and supplies for 20 people on pack mules and set up a base camp somewhere.

From there, an average day would consist of us waking up at 5am, doing camp chores and some early morning PT, then breakfast. Then we'd hike an average of 15 to 20 miles a day, working sections of trails with picks, shovels, mattocks and Pulaskis (various tools).

That would happen for 8 hours a day with a 30 min lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. It paid about $8 an hour. We'd work typically for two week sprints (we called them spikes) without access to showers or electricity. Water was carried or pumped from rivers, and sometimes the whole crew would come down with some water borne illness from all the cow poop runoff in the rivers. We'd wear the same two uniforms for those two weeks, drenched in sweat and dirt every day, until our next town run half a month later.

Most days we'd just be digging dirt, but some days we'd also move multi ton rocks with giant crowbars or cut down dead and dangerous trees with long crosscut saws wielded by two people. Occasionally we'd build staircases out of rock, or crush boulders to make a French drain for a swampy area.

It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done, before or since. It was also one of the best times of my life.
The specially mentioned refugee camps who often come with no money or supplies and only the clothing on their back. Or disasters where people gather in haste with no access to supplies as infrastructure has been destroyed. The logistics of sending larger mats is also harder. These can be made with existing facilities in any large city and deployed almost immediately. Of course there are better options or even sleeping on the floor would work in a pinch.

iirc it's a reference to a receptionist at the veteran's affairs in Canada, it was claimed they offered an assisted suicide kit to a veteran who requested a stair lift -- the VA later investigated and found no record of the offer. Either that or another (never verified, only alleged) case of this same scenario but with a veteran who asked for help with PTSD.

These two anecdotes come up somewhat often on HN, usually vaguely alluded to rather than explicitly called out.
Rust tries to ensure memory safety and, to some extent, makes efforts to solve some common concurrency issues through the same borrowing/ownership concepts. But while I'm not fluent in Ada I always got the impression it made attempts to provide some safety and explicitness in other areas, too? Putting it another way, I feel like Rust maybe doesn't have a complete answer to a lot of the problems that Ada has tried to answer.

Thanks for some nuanced thoughts. I do understand the usual arguments for these surgeries at the time, which often overlap with arguments for why Freeman should have been absolved of accountability for his actions:

Other methods were not available, the broader medical community did not seem to object, the medical standards were less developed, it was more acceptable for physicians to experiment and learn as they went, some good came out of it, and Freeman did seem to believe in the efficacy of the procedures.

Some of these arguments are stronger than others. Freeman's showmanship (including a death of a patient for a photo-op in the middle of a surgery), and refusal to wear sterile gloves were against medical standards at the time. The broader community was misinformed, as anecdotal evidence of successful procedures was spread by supporters of the procedure, while the atrocious consequences of it were under-reported. Freeman believing that the procedures were effective is difficult to disprove, but we know that such an assumption depends on veracity of a man who has shown to not be a trustworthy professional, and we do know that Freeman knew that the majority of his procedures had significant negative consequences. Some good came out of not only Freeman's work, but also work of the regime-aligned Nazi scientists, especially in the fields of birth control, medical imaging, and aerospace; and this very extreme case illuminates that invention doesn't always justify the means. The argument about the evolution of medicine in the US is more convincing - indeed, the current evidence-based medical approach evolved over time from a much more experimental one. This can be seen in the change of Hippocratic oaths medics would take throughout history. The argument for no better treatment being available is also a strong one - we have a framework around compassionate use or compassionate access to experimental treatments when nothing else is available today. But overall, the arguments, except for a few, are weak with hindsight.

It is important to acknowledge that Freeman faced no repercussions for his actions while he was alive - neither legal nor the widespread moral condemnation he is associated with today. People truly did not know what to make of it. But I ask - if a crime against humanity is committed but it takes humanity some time to recoil and it goes unpunished, is it not a crime?

It's definitely a very interesting topic. I personally don't believe that Freeman didn't know what he was doing, or that he had no reason to know his work was unethical. A man of his age and education shouldn't be as naive. It's more difficult to blame the families, though in this case, the memoir and other recollections do say that the stepmother was probably motivated by a hatred for her son.
I'm in a related area and I'd be pretty surprised if this is directly relevant -- are you doing ISO-9001 certification?

Right now, they're just offering rust, but with the ability to use it in a certified environment. In the future they plan to offer Ada+rust interop.

It's not about "benefits", it's about principles. Information should be free. As a human being, I should be able to learn about anything that exists in this world. The notion that I'm not "supposed" to know or have access to certain knowledge only makes me want to know it even more.

I don’t have experience with the outlined workflow, only with GitHub PR’s, but it feels like maybe the PR’s could too big if you have this problem?

I’m anticipating some push back on this, because I didn’t notice it mentioned anywhere else, even though there are a fair number of comments. So, I may need take some time to understand these other tools. But, short of that, for me personally, keeping things small and relatively easy to understand is the only way to maintain my sanity.
Force pushes makes reviews hard to follow, especially if there are multiple rounds. GitLab handles it much better.

Relatedly, does GitHub merge understand !squash and !fixup commands? I kind of gave up on those and just accepted a few trailing bugfix commits on PRs to not mess up peoples reviews (some projects also invalidate review on force push).

it is amazing how people think we understand climate, when it's the most complex phenomenon on Earth. We do not comprehend half of it, but pretend to know, and even predict climate. A 5 day weather prediction is a total different beast than climate prediction, and even that is proven wrong sometimes.

I work with Gerrit in my job, and find a stack of patches to be a useful way to deal with things... but I've also seen that it definitely has a learning curve for people who're not used to it. There's something to be said for the GitHub pull-request "just smush together all the commits on this branch" model in terms of ease of understanding.

It's possible that better tooling would help there, of course.

(A surprisingly common pain-point with Gerrit is when you've wound up with a semi-long-lasting stack of patches for some reason, and then you develop a branching tree of sub-patches and need to rebase them all when you make some change higher up. The answer of "don't let a stack last long enough that you need to do that" has an appeal, of course.)
Your options are sleeping on a concrete floor (if you're lucky) or more likely dirt... or this bed? This is an amazing option. Is it the bestest life of luxury? Hell no. But your home has been destroyed by a war or disaster and you're lucky to get a warm meal. Now you get a bed? Even if not an amazing bed? It's worlds better than the alternative.
"They're opposite" is the most incorrect statement in this thread. Yes, there is a difference, but the effects can be similar. Either way, market participants are denied a fair price because of their counterparty's dominance. This very case demonstrates it, as does Amazon's. That's why our laws treat them similarly, even using the word "monopoly" to mean both ... as do professional economists when both are under discussion. This "I know a word you don't know" game is tiresome, especially when people do know the words (and apparently better than you).
I think the full recall tells us that, no, it is not.
> The most literal meaning of what you said above is: Consciousness is as relative to the essential structure, function, or facts as the four known fundamental forces.

Yes, that is absolutely what I meant.

That doesn't mean that it operates at the specific level of bosons or the force of gravity, which is what I read your comment as suggesting.

It's been a pleasure conversing -- I sadly no longer have time to continue, but these are exactly the kinds of debates philosophers of consciousness have -- there's a lot to clarify and figure out! It's a fascinating field.
> Note that there’s a difference between people working on existential risks from future AI (which I think is very important) and people adding mostly useless restrictions to current AI

Not a big difference, they are largely the same group (there’s a bit of each outside of the other, but the overlap is immense), and both of focusses are largely aiming to distract from real, current, and substantive social issues (some of which are connected to AI, but not to the absence of the kind of puritanical filtering the AI “safety” folks are obsessed with.)
