It reads like there's a bug in that example:

loop {
if button.is_high().unwrap() {
led.set_high().unwrap();
} else {
led.set_low().unwrap();
}
}

Wouldn't you want to call set_low when is_high is true?

Also, woudn't the loop need a sleep to make the blinking be observable? this looks like it will be a roughly 50% pwm.
Larger businesses can afford to simply ban someone for eternity for a chargeback.

Also, if fraud is a cost of doing business, then that society is going to start wasting a lot of resources and be less productive than societies with less fraud.
Well, I think single family home suburb-style neighborhoods are even more insular, but I do think this is a good criticism of the residential campus model.

I guess I think the common immediately post-college model of moving to a small apartment in a dense city with a mix of people smushed together is a better way to get out of a bubble.

But I wish it was more common to go back to more like the campus model for family-raising, with kids of all ages around each other with lots of common spaces they can walk and bike to, with shared lighter touch supervision by all the adults.

But I recognize that this is largely just utopian wishful thinking :)
Hosting these on GitHub is such a good idea:

- GitHub have world class backups - commit something there and it gets replicated to data centers on three continents (I believe) - and a free public repo there won't vanish if you forget to update an expired credit card

- Related: GitHub is free. I care about this not because of not wanting to pay now, but because I don't want my content to be at risk if I forget to pay in the future (or can't pay for whatever reason)

- GitHub has several great web UIs for editing content, in addition to being able to edit in any other tool that supports the git protocol

- GitHub Actions makes it possible to add all sorts of automations on top of your notes, again for free. I use that to deploy my custom https://til.simonwillison.net site (mainly to give myself search)

- GitHub's own search is pretty good though!

- You can also use GitHub Pages if you just want a custom static site version of your notes.

- If someone spots a typo in your notes they can submit a PR to fix it!
This is just electricity though right? A lot of (I assume most) homes in the UK are heated using gas.
>The person who ordered the item would get to keep the product and receive a refund

Everyone seems to be ignoring this part. Retailers have adopted a new "just keep it" return policy[1]. Which is pretty obviously causing this fraud. "Item never arrived" can be fixed by adding $1 to the shipping label to force a signature

With no bad intent - about 80% of my Target returns are "just keep it", about 10% for Walmart and 0% for Amazon. But I have neighbors with about 50% on Amazon. No idea how the algorithms work but perhaps these groups have also figured that part out.

Stop the "just keep it", require some sort of security on delivery (lock box, signature) and this problem disappears overnight

Article about a clickbait tweet, comparing M2 Max against M3 Pro.
Imagine if we had the tech to apply speed governors in places with high crash rates! What if departments of transportation could lower speeds dynamically to make sure that risky road infrastructure is made safer.

I can't help but feel a little bit salty about these baindaid solutions to our ever increasing rate of road deaths in the US. I'm not sure what the right solutions are to keeping people safe while allowing them to get where they want to go but the solution of adding yet another notification on an electronic device seems disheartening to me.

Some comments convey such a lack of goodwill that it would be a waste of anyone's time to explain to the author of that comment why it was worth downvoting. Usually, if a comment hits a critical mass of several violations of the spirit of the conduct desired here on HN, I'll downvote and move on.

If you think of what would happen as a group if someone say, posted a flame-bait comment, and then everyone who wanted to downvote it had to leave a comment _engaging_ with the flame bait: then you've given oxygen to that fire. It's most prudent to instead not engage and send a simple signal to the commenter "this comment was not well received". It avoids creating a dogpile of people scolding that commenter or spiraling into deeply nested argumentative threads devoid of curiosity.
I've had more than one engineering manager tell me I was welcome to keep my own passwords in LastPass (paid for by my employer) to which my answer was "No thanks!" and at one level I feel vindicated by what happened.
Is it that surprising? They compared it to the M1 in their presentation.
I think, the believe in what is essentially people flocking around certain "condensation particles" of information as those opinions and biases being actually produced by those (mis)informations is much like the belief in spontaneous creation (e.g., mice and rats created by rags in the dark.) Rather, we may assume a certain readiness for such things, in the first place, which may then be amplified in these feedback loops.
The French Republican calendar (used by the Revolutionary government in France in the 1790s and early 1800s before Napoleon abolished it as he did most revolutionary innovations) had a similar system of 5 or 6 holidays outside any "week" (technically "decades", as they used 10 day blocs as part of the same base 10 obsession that led to the metric system) or month called the "Sansculottides". It apparently worked fine. The main drawback was the 10-day week as workers only got off on one day in 10 rather than 1 in 7 (weekends weren't a thing then and people normally only got off on Sundays).

It’s not because of scammers like these. The loss for them is minuscule compared to their revenue. It goes much deeper.

Amazon is being less generous with customers because they’re an aging company built around a technology solution (automated listing, searching, and service) that couldn’t actually satisfy global scale in the face of automated listing spam; because they’ve largely won as many customers as they ever will and have few radical growth avenues; and because now they’re facing these challenges in a world where money is much more expensive and needs to be more carefully allocated.

Amazon’s giving you grief with your refunds because their whole 2000’s-era style of online retail is past it’s peak and is starting to crumble beneath its titans, just like search is for Google and graph-centered social media did Facebook.

While we can hope exciting new retail approaches take hold, the experience with Amazon is only going to get worse, regardless of little scams like this.

Article from 2019, but in my experience still true today.

Right now, really focused to improve my diet and physical health with mental well being, But also passionate on philosophy reading
That would be a small-claims slam-dunk though, right? Or at least a social media death sentence for the shop...
"Judge Orrick writes that it is “unclear” as to whether Stable Diffusion holds “compressed copies” of the images and points to the defense’s argument that the training dataset, which contains five billion images, can “not possibly be compressed into an active program.”"

Five billion images in compressed lossy format can easily fit into an active program. The only variable is quality. Five billion images in the original format and quality is a different matter, but then that requirement for copyrightable would be drastically insufficient.
If I take a copy of your art to hang on my wall, I've violated your copyright.

But if I "copy" the experiential knowledge of your art into my brain by viewing it, I'm not violating your copyright. My brain doesn't contain a copy of the art, it's just been influenced by viewing it, and I might be more capable of producing art that mimics your style.

What these models are doing feels, to me, vastly more like the second case.

Hey HN, Arch CEO here! Our team has been working at the intersection of data engineering and software engineering for a few years now with Meltano (https://meltano.com), and this year, the rise in Generative AI has made it clear that the bottleneck in unlocking the potential value of data has shifted from data integration on data teams to data engineering on software teams, so we’ve decided to do something about it.

This post is about the high-level motivations and long-term vision for https://arch.dev; please let me know if any of it resonates or if you think I’m totally off the mark :) We’ve also got a post that goes into more detail on the Arch product itself: https://www.arch.dev/blog/announcing-arch-the-data-backend-f...
I'm proposing nothing, as far as I know that is how it is now. A browser viewing a web page is making a copy of the web page which is governed by copyright. Except by making a web page you give people the right to make that copy. Lots of interesting lawsuits around that regarding bots, scrapping, etc.

If a tweet embeds no link, can it really be clickbait?
Waze is really good. No comment on the accuracy of the directions, but I loved the crowdsourcing, and the warnings were the best of any of Apple, Google, & Waze. Loved the very accurate "police ahead" warnings.

Like most of you I'm sure (beating a dead horse here) I really wish they hadn't been bought out by Google.
> It’s more like “I am taking a drug that disrupts the GLP-1 cycle in my body and makes me lose interest in eating food at all, even when I haven’t recently eaten many potatoes."

Are there any results that say most participants experienced that and to what degree? I spoke to a few people that followed similar diets and they didn't report (obviously anecdotal too) anything about really strange levels of appetite suppression, just that they were happy they could eat as much as they wanted when they felt like it. It likely depends a lot on what you're used to eating as well.
I was saying this like 5 years ago.
I do not agree. It's readable, but not well written.

ex. "Fortnite saw 3.9 concurrent players on OG’s launch day, besting recent records, and huge subsequent numbers. It was the number one category on Twitch, bolstered by a 24-hour stream by Ninja, who made his name on the game."
That's not surprising at all? The M3 Pro has 2 fewer performance cores than the M2 Pro.
Avoidance is not evasion, and equating it with stealing in this context is fruitless.

One could claim it is legalized theft via political corruption, but Amazon alone did not write the rules, and it does not seem relevant to a situation where businesses have to change policies/increase prices/reduce offerings due to theft.
The issue is on your end, the audio is fine.
Not surprising at all. the slides in Apple presentation showed exactly this low gain for the M3 Pro, and it was mainly compared to the M1 Pro.
Okay, but one requires reading pages of specifications, and the other would fit on a sticky-note.
I don't think that is very accurate, in my experience the most popular reviews are Personality Driven and it is largely done in the youtube space, the next most popular writen sites are also more neutral when it comes to their reviews (Gamespot, IGN, Gameinformer, Eurogamer). Honestly people just want two things, to hear their favorite content creator talk about the game or have someone say how great it is. But in my opinion the best way to sort out all the noise is to just find a content creator you share tastes with since IGN et al have such a massive cast of reviewers constantly shifting around so it doesn't make sense to rely on that.

You could also use a review aggregator if you just want to see what the overall consensus is: https://opencritic.com/

My other advice which has worked very well as a PC Gamer is to look up Steam reviews, there are a LOT of underappreciated games that were poorly received by critics but players actually enjoyed. It is also review bomb resistant since you actually need to buy the game,will allow you to filter out by time periods, and notify you if there have been a noticeable change in review patterns.
Gave a look into Godot, find out the engine is deeply integrated with some custom scripting language that leads to performance issues [0] (Unreal learnt from this and got rid UnrealScript), support object-oriented design over ECS [1] and are still trying to support OpenGL when the rest of the industry is dropping it in favour of focusing on modern APIs like Vulkan [2] but progress is at least being made with Godot 4.

We don't talk about this enough but those kinds of techniques are just manipulation techniques, the same way movies and tv are designed to affect our senses and emotion (rising music, etc). They exist to short-circuit our logical minds and appeal to the emotional parts of our minds to create attachment and familiarity and sympathy with the content and creator. Which is fine if that's what you're asking for.

I dislike that you're being criticized. In a technical forum we should be demanding more efficient uses of our time and less manipulation and more facts-based presentation. I feel a little sorry for people who grew up in the youtube influencer age. These techniques are totally normalized for them and I don't think they realize how deeply manipulative your average popular youtuber is.

A lot of us just want a fact-sheet kind of thing that is neurodiverse and "busy technical person" friendly. The marketing-style media is really meant for executives and potential customers. I always shy away from those kind of presentations, find them hard to focus on, get impatient, and just google for a fact sheet, credible review, or technical reddit posting or other text-based info. And if there is video, it should be justified. Like a short clip illustrating something that is hard to explain or appreciate otherwise.

The other big bonus is how easily I can copy and paste these text items, make a bulleted list, etc to share with other busy people. "Hey Boss, check out this robot project, I think we can try that here," is going to be an easier sell with a page of text and some photos than "Hey Boss, here's a 40 minute video of a robot project."

I can't stress how badly the move from a text based internet to a video-based one has badly hurt people like me. I'm autistic with adhd and the constant demands to "hey just watch this video if you want to learn this technology," is just too much. I seek out text tutorials with screenshots or code snippets or whatever. I think we're becoming what happened to the boomers. That is to say the rise of TV, TV news, etc moved them way from books and newspapers that were far less centralized and had more potential for merit, variety, and lower barriers to entry. For someone like me, I could never be a slick youtube video producer, but I could write a good hack-a-day article. Why should the former have more merit? Why should we be applauding slick production techniques outside the ability of nearly all technical people?

I'm sorry if this rant is going odd places, but honestly, the mass videofication of all things has incredible downsides, but is incredibly profitable hence we're stuck with it, but we should be able to call it out if we are displeased with it.

I worked as a contract writer for The Escapist from 2005-2009 and consider Yahtzee's resignation the end of the publication. Zero Punctuation was most likely the primary revenue driver as I know how he had an outsized impact even back in the heyday when all of the content was getting accolades.
A lifestyle involves all sorts of non-diet things.

It is a bit odd, though, that we use “going on a diet” to describe a short term change.

But I think the most accurate phrase would be that you’ve “changed your diet,” (implicitly, permanently).

Firstly, I actually have no idea if there was a war with this particular tribe that resulted in this particular treaty. That's not always the way it went; sometimes it was just diplomacy and trade (with the odd group of assholes sprinkling violence in for fun; it was rarely 100% peaceful, even when it was mostly peaceful).

Second, what do you think winning a war means?

It's not always -- usually? almost never? -- a matter of one side eliminating or crushing the other to the point of abject subjugation. Rather, once there's a clear "winner", the losing side is usually willing to accept a unfavorable treaty that gives the victor whatever land or trade benefits they were after, and in return for the losing side not saying "fuck it" and trying to take as many people as possible with them, the winning side generally agrees to leave existing power structures largely intact and leave them some part of what's theirs.
PD goes up to 48V, though.

And I think one important feature is having shorter CC pins in the connector, so that the power source can shut down the high voltage to avoid arcing altogether. That seems to be a feature distinct from insulation.
Any sufficiently advanced guessing is indistinguishable from programming.
At least for the 70s fad diets, there wasn't any sort of long-term benefit like that. When they stopped, people would return to their original weight, or maybe even a little more. Then they would freak out and go back to the diet again -- the infamous "yo-yo dieting."

But I do think it's true that there are two different sensations: hunger, versus wanting food because it's yummy. Maybe some future diet will pair a restrictive diet with some sort of guided meditation helping you discern the different signals your stomach can send you.

Or maybe Mounjaro and friends will make the whole point moot ;-)

This doesn't surprise me the slightest, as I've noticed change in behavior in my ex-girlfriend between the periods (pun intended) she was on pill or not. She was more emotional, and seemed to have a bit harder time to control herself.

It's quite scary how medicine with such impact are marketed as something quite benign, even by public institutions.

I don't think SMTM is proposing the potato diet as a permanent weight loss dilution, but think that there is something weird going on here that might result in a permanent dietary recommendation if understood. For example, we might find that the potassium is causing the weight loss and supplementing high doses of potassium could be something you do permanently.
I wish Waze would tell me less things. It is getting to the point that it's issuing warnings every 1/4 of a mile. Car stopped, object in road, railroad crossing, etc. I like using Waze for navigation, but I know keep the sound off to avoid it's constant chatter and interruption of my music stream.

Let’s look at it from an economics standpoint: Supply and demand. The supply of willing and qualified applicants has decreased - yet the demand or number of spots open to applicants has stayed the same. Sounds like the cost is too high, or there are too many seats.
