One thing that sticks out to me here is the native app side: they can’t “just live” in the way an open source webapp can. They have to be removed from the App Store. What a shame that we can’t get to the point where you can easily build an open source mobile app and deploy it on your device. Progressive Web Apps for open source victory, I guess?

(obviously much easier to do on Android but still requires you to go down the “forbidden path”)
What this conflict did is bring down the mask of the many blood thirsty people in society. It's been sobering to say the least.
There's always going to be "gourmet" free range meat anyhow. A lot of pasture land is pasture land because the land can't support much else.
Assuming you/your employer are paying social security contributions, then you can give up your own health insurance. People in Portugal tend to have private healthcare plans for everyday stuff, but they are insanely cheap. For urgent/serious things, the public system is effective enough.

However you will need to contribute for at least 15 years before you qualify for a pension, and as you say there are no deductions for private pension plans, so you lose out there.

I suspect you are being 'taken to the cleaners', but not necessarily deliberately by anyone.
My experience is shared with millions of other people that lived in communism. To me (us), the difference between communism and the rest of socialist spectrum is that in communism, the state owns (100%, not just some shares) and runs (manages) the factories.
Why does reading lead to poor vision? You've got me interested particularly because I have such an odd dynamic with this. I don't feel like my lens prescription has really changed at all (like ever) but I suppose I would have to check the prescriptions to be sure.

Are there ways to attenuate what you're referring to you are aware of?
Yeah, Hamas will surely go and use some geolocatable internet US spy device. The first thing they're going to do, after we were made to believe that they fooled the whole of Israeli intelligence while planning a 1000s strength land attack.
That's the argument in a nutshell. Is 10 a single number, or two numbers? In context, it is one number. But I digress because typing it out suggests it is two.

Would you rather have $100.00 or $0100?
You mean a SAS? The monthly payment goes towards support, maintenance, and further development. Or you could rebuy essentially the same thing every couple years.
The point of the system is that you don't need the transit card anymore, because you're automatically getting the best daily rate by just using the same credit card each time. If you use a monthly or yearly pass presumably you would have to buy that separately in the first place.
I think they introduced some weird mixing in the NextJS conference that just occurred recently. I don’t understand it enough to be sure though.
How do you manage the windows on a widescreen like that?

Do you have it like virtually treated as 2 monitors by your computer, or just one?
That's a reasonable, and pragmatic, way to implement this. But I'd still call it "tamper-resistant". One reason why is in situations where senders or recipients have modified something, proving that the _keys_ used to sign the documents were the correct ones can itself be a difficult problem.
There has been a lot of research in fuel cells that generate electricity from ammonia, with much simpler storage problems than for hydrogen.
This seems barely worth an article: the LAPD posted a violent assault asking people to identify the suspect, and YouTube (possibly an algorithm) suspended the account for posting violence.

Should violent content be allowed on the internet? I believe so. Should it be allowed on YouTube? I believe YouTube can decide: if they want to block violence, porn, and other 18+ content for everyone, that's fair and those people can post on the other sites. There's an argument that posting on YouTube instead of a less popular platform is necessary for LAPD to increase the audience and more likely identify the suspect; but I think there are better ways which get a higher-quality audience and don't involve exposing random people to a random assault.
Tacos get the same if not worse mileage than full size trucks most of the time. Then they all put huge tires on them, load them up with $20k in overlanding gear that they never use and hurts gas mileage even worse. Maybe they think they are superior to big trucks but the fact is that they're not. It's just a smug attitude that people carry. It's shitty generalization to be honest.
Occam's razor says they are not going to keep a list of all devices and their configurations including types of ear pieces and their sound pressure level output at each volume setting when they could just say if (volume > .75){ warning();} and call it a day. There is no benefit to going above and beyond in this case -- they just need to say they warned people.
It's hardly snobbery to say that a particular hustle is not a great investment of one's time and resources.
No surprise, farm is powered by the sun and water pressure.
It is possible but not from a mobile, and they make it quite difficult even on a desktop/laptop.
I had a similar struggle the other day when I deactivated my Facebook page after I counted 64 ads in a row after one post from an actual human I know IRL.
I also reduce temptation to use social media apps like that by not having the apps on my phone.
>A device shipping in 2024 ...

Xiaomi 14 ( using Snarpdragon Gen 3 ) is announced and reviewed. Pre-Order started and shipping in November.

>being almost as fast as one which shipped several years earlier

The A16 has been shipped for a little more than a year. I could have compared it to A17 Pro and the answer would still be the same. Since A17 Pro is only slightly faster with a Clockspeed improvement. And that is comparing in Cortex X4 vs A17 Pro Clock to Clock, X4 would be landing within 10% range.

>is … crazy?

Considering 99.99999999% of the internet said Apple will always be 3-5 years ahead and ARM ( or Snapdragon or any other non Apple CPU design ) will never be able to match Apple, despite being shown how X3 is the proof and X4 finally shown it. Yes. I find it pretty crazy.
Fun way to look at it. In Common Lisp, NULL is not a number. But in Assembly language, it absolutely is.

Is "no" a number? As in "I have no apples." It is strange that we can't say "I have yes apples" otherwise.
This is such annoying generalization that is mostly not true. It's just a smug attitude. Tacos get horrible gas mileage and they're every bit as bad for the environment and are not actually any more reliable than an American full size truck.
Unfortunately, according to Mind:

"But your health and welfare attorney won't be able to refuse treatment for you if: You’re sectioned under the Mental Health Act in the future, and your treatment is prescribed by the responsible clinician or approved clinician in charge of your treatment at that time. Your attorney will have no legal power to refuse the treatment. This is except for ECT, which they can refuse even in these circumstances. ..."

Sure, but then you're fighting with the service provider. Your incentives are not aligned and the service you get may suffer. If you can't afford the alternative, go for it. But if you can, you get results which are not shaped by the behaviour of people who see the ads, which may degrade your experience.

Using ddg, you also effectively keep up ad supported businesses, since that's where you get the results from. One day you may find other engines don't want to provide the feed to ddg anymore or ddg doesn't want to serve you results with unlock.
Not 100% of the energy, because even if no current is wasted, the voltage applied to the electrolysis cell is higher than the minimum value that corresponds to 100% energy efficiency.

To know the energy efficiency, besides the current efficiency, which is close to 100%, we need to know how big is the overvoltage needed for electrolysis.
Xcode still a disaster?
I went to the installation instructions:

https://github.com/OpenSignLabs/OpenSign/blob/main/INSTALLAT...

And it says you can auto-deploy to DigitalOcean (neat) and to a local server, and instructions are included for both.

There's the bit on AWS S3 which makes sense but then no build/install instructions for local deployment. are those somewhere else?
What you say seems completely reasonable. Zooming out a bit, it’s really unfortunate youtube doesnt have any competition.

Construction of One Way Functions
I've made a simple proof to show how to construct a one way function. Check it out!
I've been meaning to look into it, so these are mostly notes, that others might find useful,

arenas are x86_64 only, not sure how involved are ports, but there's at least a VOP, that as of right now exists only on x86_64. (the build obviously fails on other systems)

I'm trying it on m1, so I can build with

arch -arch x86_64 sh make.sh --with-system-tlabs

and then run with

arch -arch x86_64 sh run-sbcl.sh

it's pretty raw, so for example allocating object larger than arena results in ldb. there's a lot of sample code in tests/arena.impure.lisp

and the simplest possible test code just to see what's up,

(gc :full t)
(room)
;;; 7,084,208 bytes for 36,307 simple-vector objects
(progn (make-array 10000000) (values))
(room)
;; 86,991,136 bytes for 36,080 simple-vector objects
(gc :full t)
;; 6,847,824 bytes for 35,865 simple-vector objects
(use-package :sb-vm)
(defvar a (new-arena 100000000))
(with-arena (a) (make-array 10000000) (values))
(room)
;; 7,050,080 bytes for 36,233 simple-vector objects

well, so at least we know the array is put somewhere. finally one calls (destroy-arena a), but you can still access the data, so presumably there's no checking involved, and being undisciplined about retaining arena pointers will create all kinds of interesting bugs.

neat!
OpenAI is said to have done so by a guy who leaked some very specific information that turned out to be accurate.
Lisbon has been full of skycranes ever since I got here (some 7 years ago). Porto has even more! There has been a huge amount of renovation and development, but yes I dare say there could be more without red tape. Apparently one issue with Portugal is that inheritance is split between children, so properties end up with multiple owners who cannot agree on sale etc.

Tourism has been a big driver of renovation (it is hard to argue with 100+euro/person/night yield), but of course that has necessitated evicting students and other 'itinerant' residents. Hence the recent protests.
That's very interesting. Aims to prevent American small arms supply to adversaries I imagine.

> Peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict had already been difficult to achieve before Hamas’s barbarous October 7 attack and Israel’s military response. Now it seems almost impossible

I don't understand. Since the year 2000, Palestinian deaths outnumber Jewish deaths more than 6 to 1 (17 to 1 for children) [1]. Why is peace impossible now? Why was peace not impossible "six times earlier", when Palestine had casualties equivalent to what Israel has now?

Internet radio is still a thing! I have recently re-discovered it and now use it daily as background music. If you buy smart speakers that can stream radio (e.g. Heos/Denon), you can use the free TuneIn internet radio service in their app and search for whatever obscure music you are interested in. I just looked up "vocal trance" and there are at least a dozen matches, including stations that have "Vocal Trance" in their name, e.g. "FM 98.5 of Vocal Trance Live". I am not familiar with the genre though so can't vouch for quality.
Where I live, at least, if you're in public, there's no expectation of privacy. There's no valid legal objection to someone taking photos or videos.

Some exceptions:

- Commercial use of (recognizable) photos of people in public is regulated.

- Following someone around or getting in their face with a camera is harassment.

Of course, your right to take photos or videos stops the minute you step onto private property; the owners are within their rights to disallow it.
This is a feature of the BIOS, not of the CPU.

The only way to know for sure is from a review of the desired product, if someone happened to check the BIOS menu.

Could you explain exactly why you would say this?

Working past their fake news headlines like 100%. Hydrogen is almost 100% and that's not big if true.

We are decades away for renewable electricity only for our electric needs.

Then you have oil and many other things electric can replace which are worse than gas.

What about this is big? In a dream world of unlimited electricity everything is easy, like synth fuel and fertilizer and climate control. Today, burning coal to make fertilizer doesn't seem good, if this is true.
Technically 3 is equally round as 0, but half as round as 8. It's just split and flipped.
I think filtering based on words like "whining" (an emotionally-charged word, for which less emotionally-charged synonyms exist) is the easiest case of a general problem space that is dominated by hard, and maybe unsolvable, cases.

Suppose there are two large groups, whose members loathe each other. The groups are large, so each of them says and does a large number of things. Suppose a news organisation with many viewers publishes articles about both sides which are completely factually accurate and avoid emotionally charged language, but they choose to write only about the things said and done by group A that most people think are good and nice, and the things said and done by group B that most people think are bad, stupid or embarrassing. Is this news organisation biased? Is a particular article by it biased?

By the same token, why should i take anything kromem says with anything but a grain of salt ? What are his credentials ? as far as anyone "being swayed" is concerned, he's a random on the internet. He's not changing minds.

You'll have a much better time telling people how and why those "billionaire crankers" are not making sound arguments than trying to gatekeep what they say. Even then, that's no guarantee.

all in all, the idea that people "speaking up" in this way does anything at all is fairly wishful thinking.
I currently live in the Lisbon suburbs. Quite frankly from a UK perspective they are a modern miracle - vast areas of medium density housing with shops, schools, cafes, metro, etc, etc within walking distance (actually stone throwing distance).

They were built in the 80s/90s, I'm not sure of the funding, but I doubt it was foreign investment (perhaps the EU? Portugal government?).

The reason why there is not enough housing in central Lisbon/Porto is because much of it was turned over to short term lets like AirBnB. This has resulted in much needed renovation (privately funded), but has also resulted in entire neighborhoods being eviscerated of local/long term residents.
they are the kinds of things which invariable accompany visual experience. Other things which are in this kind are colors, spatial extension, and shape.

They are a sub-kind of 'kinds of things which unfold in time'.

That's about as specifically, formally defined as any other definition we have. And, as a bonus, they are very tightly tied with direct perceptual experience, and explainable in terms which anybody can understand.

You can safely return that oyster card and get your deposit back now :D

I live in London and recently passed a convenience store whose signage advertised the usual stuff: "Fresh veg. Off licence. European specialty foods. Oyster". I was genuinely confused for a second that such a place would carry such short shelf life seafood...

Pre-pay card are gone here. The only people I know now who have an Oyster branded card are those who get discount or free travel.
The basis for the metric system was not defined by some arbitrary prototype at first, but by measurements everyone on the planet could reproduce using the sun and a bit of water, at least to a very acceptable approximation.

The kilometer was based on 1/10000 the distance between the poles and the equator. The liter was based on the meter, the kilogram was based off the weight of water in a liter, the celcius was based off the freezing and boiling point of water at sea level, etc.

The reference meter was put in place to fix the problem arising from the error margin in measurements, but for practical purposes, the definition was all that was needed for a country to join the metric system.
> The only person this really benefits is new users to the system that haven't figured out how to get a transit card yet.

Nah. The end game here (as seen in NYC and London) is just getting rid of the transit card entirely. Which is a very positive thing, it’s an unnecessary extra layer of administration to keep track of the balance, top them up, etc etc.

Certainly as a New Yorker I’m very glad to be rid of my Metrocard. (though the new system costs $4 extra per month for unlimited travel which is BS and should be fixed)
