The messed up incentives of… Seeking as much attention as possible, which is as old as media itself and arguably the very purpose of its existence. Yeah, I guess you’re right. But then again, I’m afraid there’s bigger evils to fight in this world.

Plus in this particular case, apart from the feelings it might generate in more engaged readers such as you, I don’t think the title has further real-life implications.

People conscious enough to actually have an impact on the matter (e.g. those to potentially reach out to organizations, or appeal to railroad companies directly to secure their cargo better) will surely read the article and realize the bears are 100% the victims.

Whereas the people who will think “haha, stoopid wasted bears” and move on, wouldn’t have actively done anything about the situation to begin with. They might still share the article though, which in turn increases its reach and improves its chance of finding someone who cares.

If there’s a fallacy here please call me out, but at this moment I don’t think the “sensationalized” element in this title is a bad thing. At worst it’s neutral, apart from earning Cowboy State Daily some (un)deserved bucks.
> Do you guys actually control your dreams? How do you keep bad things from happening?

I've only had lucid dreams a few times, but my experience with dreaming -- both lucid and the regular kind -- is that dreams seem to work on anticipation; what you expect to happen next is more or less what happens next. If you think "there better not be a monster under my bed..." there's gonna be a monster under your bed because you're anticipating a monster.

Once you realize you're dreaming you can exercise some control over it by basically willing things to happen -- imagine your finger extending to push a button on the other side of the room, anticipate the feeling of the touch of the button, and it will stretch. I did that as an "am I dreaming?" test once and became lucid briefly before waking up.

Be careful about your expectations though -- I've done other dream tests where I just asked myself if I was dreaming and immediately dismissed it as not a dream since I'd gotten in the habit of immediately dismissing the tests in waking life! I was really annoyed when I woke up and realized what had happened...

In one of the dreams I became lucid in, I tried flying and was able to do that successfully but almost immediately became worried I'd crash into a ditch, so of course I crashed into a ditch and woke up.

> More importantly, do you remember anything when you wake up?

I've always woken up from lucid dreams (as far as I know, anyway) so I remember them the same as waking from a vivid dream or nightmare.
The Sourcehut build system is also really good. It looks clunky and feels like it should be lacking in features, but realistically most of my build pipelines always ends up as a Makefile or a shell script anyway, so it fits my mental model pretty well.
I haven't touched it in a while, but AFAIK multiple heads in a branch only happens when you commit twice against the same changeset in the branch. I don't see how this can happen accidentally. Either way you want to merge them back under a single head (a normal 'hg merge') or remove the spurious head ('hg strip'). Maybe it was more complicated at the beginning?

It's better than being closed. But all the promotion I've see has been calling it "open source" which is harmful to all open source. If they'd just released it under their silly licensed and not played up open source it would be fine.

I assume this is directed at the author of rak, so I'll answer.

$x ~~ $y is basically syntactic sugar for $y.ACCEPTS($x). Using ~~ involves an additional subroutine call, so there's a short-term efficiency issue (as in programs running more than a second or so the extra call will have been inlined).

But personally, I like the verbosity of $y.ACCEPTS($x) as it reads better for me, having been burnt by ~~ semantics in Perl, which was symmetrical.

How is Github making money off of open source software in a way that Gitea, Gitlab, and Sourcehut don't?
hg was not superior to git at v1. I have no idea if it is now. hg was horrible at git style branches wich are arguably a killer feature of git. I've heard they were grafted in to hg but you can go look up old tutorials on the net from say 2008 and see they were clearly not the norm for hg

---

looked it up, the feature is called "bookmarks" and was added in 2010. And even after added, all tbe tutorials ignored them. no idea if they are the recommended workflow now but if not then you probably don't get why git is superior to hg

That's just something I copy and pasted from the documentation for the benchmark package I used. Allegedly, it is to prevent "certain compiler optimisations", which is something I'm familiar with when it comes to benchmarking Go code, for example.

Most of the old rechargeable aa or aaa batteries were NiCd, which would be 1.2V vs the 1.5 you get from alkaline. I believe the voltage drops off more slowly than alkaline, but since the starting voltage is lower some devices just can't handle it.

We had a set of cb radios when I was a kid, they had 12 aa battery spaces but two "blanks" installed. You used the blanks and 10 batteries for alkaline, but removed the blanks and installed 12 if using rechargeable to bring the voltage to an acceptable level.
Sure no problem :) let me know if you run into any issues. Email in profile.
Scientists deeply concerned with upcoming EU digital identity regulations
The Debian model of an artisanal handcrafted build for every library is just not sustainable. Integrating deeply with the language's packaging ecosystem might be one answer, but they did that with Perl to (IMO) not great results, and I don't think there's much appetite for doing that with Javascript (from either side).
Because these things are all much, much harder than just passing the decryption to the graphics card which does not permit a userland OS to see what's going on, avoiding the OS entirely. And that already happens. And has happened for years.

A TPM is useless for DRM on a general purpose computing platform because it is significantly inferior to existing widely deployed solutions.
This is one of the places that the often-maligned Homebrew package manager does a good job.

App dependencies in languages like Python and Lua are fetched manually, with exact filenames and hashes, and installed into an isolated location just for that app. If they turn out to be used by several apps, then they get packaged normally.

I wish other package managers did it this way. It would make packaging complicated applications much easier and result in many fewer dependency conflicts, and allows devs to produce more stable software.

It's basically static linking but for Python packages. Sometimes you want shared libraries, but for one-off dependencies it's possibly more trouble than it's worth.

Let them play out without controlling the dreamscape.

Alternatively, close your (dream) eyes and let the dream dissolve intro dreamless sleep. You will still be lucid, but there will be no dream, only empty consciousness. It feels sort of like floating disembodied in an empty boundless dark space. It is a blissful experience.

If you get bored of that you may be able to recreate the dreamscape, just like when you perform WILD.

He has recently done some amazing low power work with GreenArrays:

"GreenArrays is shipping its 144-core asynchronous chip that needs little energy (7 pJ/inst). Idle cores use no power (100 nW). Active ones (4 mW) run fast (666 Mips), then wait for communication (idle).

Tight coding to minimize instructions executed will minimize power. The programmer can also reduce instruction fetches, transistor switching and duty cycle."

It is like the elegance of Forth in low power, multi-core hardware.
The linked PDF is an open letter undersigned by many scientists.

> Last year, many of us wrote to you to highlight some of the dangers in the European
Commission’s proposed eIDAS regulation. After reading the near-final text, we are deeply
concerned by the proposed text for Article 45. The current proposal radically expands the ability
of governments to surveil both their own citizens and residents across the EU by providing them
with the technical means to intercept encrypted web traffic, as well as undermining the existing
oversight mechanisms relied on by European citizens. Concretely, the regulation enables each
EU member state (and recognised third party countries) to designate cryptographic keys for
which trust is mandatory; this trust can only be withdrawn with the government’s permission
(Article 45a(4)). This means any EU member state or third party country, acting alone, is
capable of intercepting the web traffic of any EU citizen and there is no effective recourse. We
ask that you urgently reconsider this text and make clear that Article 45 will not interfere with
trust decisions around the cryptographic keys and certificates used to secure web traffic.

Article 45 also bans security checks on EU web certificates unless expressly permitted by
regulation when establishing encrypted web traffic connections (Article 45(2a)). Instead of
specifying a set of minimum security measures which must be enforced as a baseline, it
effectively specifies an upper bound on the security measures which cannot be improved upon
without the permission of ETSI. This runs counter to well established global norms where new
cybersecurity technologies are developed and deployed in response to fast moving
developments in technology. This effectively limits the security measures that can be taken to
protect the European web. We ask that you reverse this clause, not limiting but encouraging the
development of new security measures in response to fast-evolving threats.

Or just use the existing hardware security features that don't let the OS see what's in the relevant video memory at all.

But as you say, that's a much, much smaller attack surface than trying to validate the OS.
I didn't mean this as a criticism, but a flippant praise of how well Debian does things. Unstable is for most packages relatively bleeding edge.

Of course not e.g. on Arch level, where the excitement is there all the time and the bleeding could be even literal in some use cases. (In Arch this is mitigated somewhat though by the vastly superior packaging system that makes problems easier to fix manually than the awful .deb.)

Maybe they just honestly enjoyed the work, then they didn't feel like it anymore, and banned themselves.

It let them have the last laugh - they just kept doing what they wanted even after being banned, then ended it on their own terms when they felt like it.

It's not like they lost anything, except the opportunity to perform unpaid work and get more articles written about them from people who cannot fathom someone would voluntarily relinquish some meaningless position.
Farage didn't meet their net worth requirement, which is why his account was closed. A bit like any retail banking product - e.g. HSBC advance, there can be some slack in how strictly the rules are allied. Coutts decided that since he no longer met their net worth requirements, they didn't want to continue to serve him. They may have decided to continue serving other clients whos circumstances changed though for their own reasons.

If farage had met the requirements, none of this would have happened.
> poor general mental health which would be solved if the person in question didn’t mouthbreathe and eat sugar, and slept well and exercised regularly.

I cannot do those things.

I've been to physical therapy multiple times for things that are caused by a lack of physical activity. Their advice is the same every time: it would take less than 15 seconds every day to do a single stretch. Here are diagrams showing you how to do them. Look how easy it is.

But even that is too much. I don't want it to be too much, I know it's dead simple and any normal person would be able to do it without a second thought, but that is the problem. I'm not a normal person, and my brain doesn't work like a normal person's does. It does not let me do that.

It does not let me know when I should do that. If I set a timer/alarm, then when it goes off, I can't even listen to it. Either I just can't get up, or I want to finish what I'm doing first and then I completely forget.

This isn't something that I control. It's not something that I chose. And it's not something that I can fix by simply being less pathetic. Because as much as I'm aware of these behaviors and now ridiculous they are, I cannot help them. There is no way for me to just make myself do something.

My brain just only lets me do what it wants.

I carried mine in high school for note taking. It was a very nice little machine, albeit quirky. With no built-in mass storage aside from the "silicon disk" (2MB SRAM-based battery-backed SSD) using it was an exercise in using lightweight software.

Yeah, I feel that standing charges should be a political issue, not just in California, because they're regressive and don't encourage people to save energy. If they were to bundle it into the per-unit cost, that would be better for low-income users and provide more of an incentive for high-consumption users to economize (or do their own generation to offset).

I once had fantasies about starting an open source project for Common Lisp that would attempt to implement a little bit of the Wolfram data display stuff. I stopped paying for LispWorks, so I no longer have CAPI for GUIs, so that is not going to happen. Racket’s UI support would make Racket a good platform for an open source project like this. (I won’t work on it, LLMs are so much more fascinating than any other tech, and use up my free time).

I did recently pay for an entire year of Wolfram Desktop in the hope of really getting into it. I have code experiments for all the stuff I love (machine learning, deep learning, LLM, semantic web, etc.) but to be honest using the Wolfram Language does not give me the joy that I get using Common Lisp,and various Schemes, and, for some things Python is the most practical language.

There is a difference. With reasoning, you can predict future, to a degree. If I see a brick falling on me, I know I will feel pain in a few moments. This helps me to live a long and healthy life by avoiding falling bricks.

Religion is, by design, unverifiable. It can't be used to predict the future. If it were, its predictions would be easy to check, which is not allowed. So all religious teachings evolved to avoid making any hard predictions about the future. The Messiah WILL come - but nobody will tell you the date. You WILL go to Heaven if you behave - but nobody came back to report.

git was good, but github cemented git's position. So unless GitHub allows other solutions, then we're kinda locked.

I only remember dreams when I'm sleeping lightly. When I do I'm usually quickly aware it's a dream. It's very seldom I wake up and only then realize it's been a dream, I can only recall 3-4 times this has happened and I'm 40+.

Most of the times when I become aware I can control the dream, and it feels like I'm directing a movie of sorts. If I don't like where the dream is going I go back a bit and re-dream a different path, so to speak.

Since I sleep lightly in these cases I often incorporate external elements. For a while I had a radio alarm clock and I'd incorporate bits of the news or any stories the radio host told into my dreams, usually turning them very weird, but not in a bad way.

Only ever had one bad dream as an adult, but it was really bad. It was one where I was aware but not fully in control, I was dreaming I was in one of the video games I played at the time and had a good time. But then I ended up getting trapped underwater and drowned. That woke me up and it felt horrible. The feeling of hopelessness and knowing you're about to die really left a mark. Took me a long time to get over it, and I still get the chills thinking about it now 15 years later.
