My dad had pretty severe vertigo after a fall. Two doctors told him there wasn’t a great treatment for chronic vertigo and that his best hope was that it would go away eventually.

I spent 30 minutes searching online, learned about the Epley maneuver, tried it on him and it basically cleared up immediately. The maneuver itself was, to him, extremely disorienting for the 60 seconds or so it takes to administer. I recall him thrashing about because he said it felt like he was falling and didn’t know which way was down.
If so then there are laws to consider that any property that is not protected becomes legally owned by the one who has been servicing/inhabiting it, which is a bit before that decade would end.

The core problem of the lien is solved, the only thing left is to ensure the lawyers who seem to always get their cake no matter what aren't bloodthirsty enough.

> how many were settlers

> settler colonial

Dehumanizing buzzwords. People who were born somewhere are not "settlers". It implies they had some other choice about where to be born. Anyone born somewhere has an equal right to be there as anyone else.

Russians "settlers" born in Crimea have every right to live in Crimea even if their grandparents came there due to Stalin's colonial policies against the Tartars. White or Asian "settlers" born in the US have every right to live there even if they are on lands that were originally stolen from the Native Americans. And so on.

But we all know what you really mean. It's only the Israeli "settlers" that deserve what they get. The Jews who were kicked out of all the neighboring Arab countries and had their previous houses and lands "settled" in and became refugees in Israel with nowhere else to go can eat dust. The Jews who were living in Palestine/Israel before the creation of Israel, and their children, can also be classified as "settlers". We know what you really mean behind this soup of buzzwords.

> And, Israel does not have the right to defend itself.

Rhetorical language games. Should all 9 million Israelis be killed because they are "settlers"? If you answer "no", then you disprove your own claim. If you answer "yes", then you discredit yourself more than I could ever have done.

I'm far from being unabashedly pro-Israel, you can see my comment history here for yourself. But this buzzword-laden dehumanizing language needs to be called out.
Over the weekend, I saw a Model S with number plate "WOZ" in Oakridge mall, San Jose. I wondered if it is him and sure enough it was him driving the car to the supercharger stations.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him driving and trying to charge the car in public locations.

> "disabled" is semantically different from "this action is in progress"

Different, but not contradictory. Disabling just means "user can't do that", which is semantically reasonable when you don't want the user to do that. That stays true when the ultimate cause is that they already did that.

The problem isn't prescription in the US, the problem is whether or not someone's insurance will cover weight-loss medications as they're expensive. If you have the cash, Mounjaro was easily available to you in the US already for weight-loss, and finding a doctor to prescribe it wasn't (much of) a problem.

The various subreddits concerned with this certainly talk about whether or not insurance should be legally compelled to cover obesity.

Just to tack this on to "what's the gold standard", the gold standard is GLP-1 receptor agonists, and nothing before that has been anywhere near as effective without serious side effects. Things have basically been stimulants (phentermine, ephedrine), bulking agents (like fiber), things that mess with fat absorption (orlistat, which prevents it; olestra, which is a fat substitute), or treatments that reduce the active area of your stomach (bypass, stapling, sticking a balloon in your stomach). All are either ineffective or come with really bad side-effects.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are really the only game in town, like Viagra was when it came out. The evolution has basically been (as I understand it):

* Liraglutide / Victoza / Saxenda (works OK)

* Semaglutide / Ozempic / Wegovy (works well)

* Tirzepatide / Mounjaro / Zepbound (works great)

In each case, they've been a diabetic medication that turns out to be great at weight-loss.
Yeah, as I suspected.

If you can afford your first instinct to be reimplementing things from scratch, your understanding of the value provided by proper version control will be limited. Some of us work with constantly changing code developed by thousands of people from all around the world in projects that 15 years ago were migrating to git and that have tons of downstreams, and are thankful for maintainers and processes that keep their commit graphs useful.

Though that said, once you're comfortable enough with git you'll be thanking yourself for commit hygiene even when coming back to your few years old single-person codebases.

In my experience, developer's work consists mostly of gaining understanding of codebases. It's like being a detective. Writing new code happens too, but not as often and it's not as impactful (and usually can and should be handled by less experienced devs wherever possible). Among the most impactful things are single line changes that took a week to write, or a few dozen lines that took months. Rewriting existing code from scratch is something that happens only as a last resort and after very careful consideration. Maintaining some basic version control hygiene makes a whole world of difference in such work. Sure, you can live without it, but you can also live without docs, comments or tests (and sometimes have to - which makes you appreciate them when they're there).

Yeah given the prevalence of bots in its final years, I can see how eventually the effort:reward ratio dropped, especially with legal issues on top of that.

But Omegle will be missed for sure.
My thoughts too more or less.

I have a lot of resistance to go and meet people, break ice, try and engage in conversations even with people I know very well or supposed to work with on a regular basis. I feel drained afterwards and need a break after every meeting. The meeting itself usually goes well, and I am fairly engaged even if not the most talkative -- if the subject matter of discussion is my work or something I am reasonably interested in I might be the most vocal even -- and people who meet me (without knowing me and my preferences closely) might very well picture me as a "normal" or even an extroverted person.

But (I just came up with this thougt experiment:) if someone were to interrupt my social or professional meetings at any random point and give me a choice of either continuing or immediately going back to "me time" without any consequences -- I think I would choose the latter 90% or more of the time.

It's a fair callout, seems like they must have either decided upon or been sold a gigantic full screen background video, and reporting on specific instances somehow didn't make it into the requirements for that website.

Edit: Actually I changed my mind on this, as a search and rescue organization, there's probably 2 main messages to get across to anyone visiting their website; how to contact them, and what it might be like to volunteer. I do think it would be good to have some kind of publication mechanism, but it's possible that's too much overhead.
Why wouldn't something based on unlinkable blind signatures work? Basically site issues a token to user, user gets token unlinkably blindly signed by some recognized age verification entity (government agency, bank) that already has their personal information, user returns signed token to site, site verifies it was signed by the recognized age verification entity.

> What had I missed from the 90s that didn't make it into the 00s?

IRC was a big one. Back when you hopped on a server, typed in #cityname, and joined a lively realtime conversation with folks in your area. That was cool.

I’m too young for usenet, but I’ve been hearing about how cool and amazing it was for like 25 years now. Apparently the web never quite managed to capture that magic.
> I have a hard time believing you somehow missed fauci or Walenski or ALL of the mainstream media going on for months about the vaccine preventing transmission

I guess I did. Axios has been my primary news source, along with New York Times and The Guardian/Wapo once in a while. Most of the time I just Google my way to the information I'm looking for. I don't consume any TV based news, or Twitter based news or any other such social media news, appart for HackerNews. I also generally went directly to the CDC website, and didn't use retellings from other publications or press conference.

By curiosity, I pulled up this archive from October 2020: https://web.archive.org/web/20201027130822/https://coronavir...

John Hopkins FAQ on the vaccine at the time. It states:

> Although the phase 3 clinical trials are designed to determine whether vaccinated individuals are protected against disease, it will also be important to understand whether vaccinated individuals are less likely to transmit the virus. This is likely but not ensured.

So that's at least one expert source corroborating my impression. I can't remember where I landed when I would have looked this up in 2020, but John Hopkins is a likely place I might have found.

> They had no science backing those claims

While I don't know why I didn't get the impression any official expert source told me it would prevent transmission and you feel many of them did tell you it would. I do still feel I need to make a correction on what you're saying. There's definitely science backing up the idea that vaccines can reduce transmission. It's based on historically observed outcomes from prior vaccines for other diseases, as well as on transmission models around herd immunity.

The idea that the mRna vaccines would for sure prevent transmission had no evidence, but there was scientific based prior for thinking it might at least reduce transmission, specifically of the exact strain it targets.
My parents recently sold their place in the Netherlands. They talked to several agents about representing them. Agents take a cut of the sales price. Buyers also need to use agents and since housing is scarce in the Netherlands, you pretty much have to rely on agents to find a place.

Where it gets sketchy is when those agents are friends with each other. A lot of deals get made before the property is even listed online. So, what my parents experienced was that they were quoted valuations of their property that had about a 20% bandwidth. 20% is a lot. Nearly 100K euros in this case They went with the highest valuation in the end. It sold within a week slightly above what they asked. This is normal in the Dutch market currently. Prices briefly dipped last year and then continued growing. Even the increased interest of mortgages has so far not changed that.

So, what was going on with those other agents deliberately low balling the price?

The interests of agents are not always aligned with their clients. They are either working for the buyer or seller. And they do each other favors. Like letting each other know when something hot (i.e. priced below market value) comes up for sale or convincing a seller to agree to a lower valuation. So, there are conflicts of interest. And sometimes they just need the money and getting the property sold quickly is worth more to them than having to put in work to sell at a higher price. Another factor is that when property comes back on the market, the same agents are often involved. So, there's a bit of double dipping happening there. Help a client buy cheap, and a few years later help them sell expensive. In a market with ever growing real estate prices that's the game.
I've been playing with a similar idea of screenshots and actions from GPT-4 Vision for browsing, but after trying and failing to overlay info in the screenshot, I ended up just getting the accessibility tree from playwright and sending that along as text so the model would know what options it had for interaction. In my case it seemed to work better, I see the creator is here and has a list of future ideas, maybe add this to the list if you think its a good idea?

Even if the browser is somehow required to move the official "focus" to an arbitrary useless location, they don't have to treat that focus as the sole gospel truth of where to read from.
Even until a few years ago, Spy Mode was mostly devoid of the "M?" hookup posters, and the bots were somehow relegated to the "questioner" rather than the chatters.
WalterBright is the mantainer of the D language, so I guess he sees everithing from the point of view of the compiler.

I wrote a lot of code for the optimization step of the compiler of Racket, in particular steps to eliminate similar code. I saw those expressions and I inmediately think:

Macro expansions create a lot of similar expressions, and also more complex expressions that the compiler can reduce to trivialy looking expressions [1]. It's nice that the compiler can detect them and eliminate them, but raisng an error would break a lot of code.

My guess is that all three of us agree that the post is about linters, but it would be very bad to extend this rule to the compiler.

[1] For example, after an expansion of a macro or inlining a function you may get:

(define x (random 10))
(if (integer? x)
(display x)
(error "The number should be an integer"))
I found that it works well to ask it to generate JSON the best it can, then pass it to gpt-3.5-turbo with the JSON response mode and instruct it to just clean up whatever input it received.
Oh this is super cool.

Basically every user gets their own LoRA finetune without losing the accelerator efficiency of batching requests for a single base model.

This would be tremendously cool for the Kobold Horde and similar services, where users request LoRA recipes instead of being stuck with whatever finetune the host picks. The Stable Diffusion AI Horde already does this, just with no batching and tremendous inefficiency.
Shouldn't make you mad. Thats just how the nature of things go.

Basically, the hipster viewpoint is ironically correct - anything that gets popular turns to shit. Once you start making something that appeals to a broad reach of people, you start optimizing for the lowest common denominator of society.

Imagine if Omegle was structured in a way where you had to download an app, for linux specifically, and instead of a central website, you had to set up STUN servers to do direct peer to peer chat. This is far to complex for "normal" people, but it would be still around today, as well as much higher quality.

This is even true of software development. Think about this next time you hear someone say how they don't want to have to tweak settings to get Linux to work, and instead buy a Mac for some bullshit reason like battery life, not realizing they are buying into a system that is opposite in spirit of software development (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/en...).
I have no problem with going where the people are. But I think this is backwards. The information should be somewhere public, with links to it posted on FB, X, NextDoor, or whatever closed platform has a chunk of your audience.

We can create an autopilot for browser.

It is going to incredibly difficult moving forward to distinguish bot traffic, if this is deployed at scale.

>gas turbines are only 'renewables-only' if you make the gas from renewable energy

There are ways to make hydrocarbons from atmospheric carbon (using any energy, including renewable) but that is nightmarishly inefficient. Anti-nuclear people's plan though is to use good ol' fossil gas for the times when the weather is unsuitable for renewables.

>the efficiency of photovoltaics and wind is only relevant here if

Agreed, you can disregard its efficiency if the source energy is free.

Fission energy is so high yield that it's also basically free, just like the Sun or wind, with the difference of being able to increase/decrease production on demand. It's the infrastructure to extract that energy that costs money, and those costs could be improved with proper R&D, investments, subsidies and economies of scale, just like with renewables.

I do believe nuclear is the part of the Solution together with renewables. At least we will need nuclear before solar extraction and storage are so advanced that they can power the grid all the time by themselves. Yes, that future is certainly is not very far away, but we can't afford much time to start decarbonizing.

Agreed, that would be one level too far, and thus unnecessary. I'm not arguing that every operator should be parenthesized, but I think parens should be used more than most programmers tend to do.

On a related note, I occasionally write expressions that both assign and test, e.g. if ( ( a = b ) == c ) and in those cases I parenthesize liberally and always write a comment that indicates yes, I intend to make an assignment in the middle of a test for equality.
I agree. I made a tool for this which can do x2y where x or y can be any of json, yaml, toml, ini, xml, html, csv, tsv

I just sat in front of him on a flight coming back from Poland a few weeks ago. He was vibrant and in good spirits, telling stories and talking to his seat mate for almost the entire flight! They were two chatterboxes (mostly him). I'd read his book iWoz but didn't mention it because I was 1 row up and didn't want to seem like a fangirl but I did enjoy recognizing him and overhearing some of his stories.

I was sort of surprised to see him in Polaris First class and not taking private!

> With these drugs, is there any mechanism at work beyond "patients have a lower appetite and eat less food"?

Those are definitely the key routes, but I suspect from my experience (and so the do the drug companies!) that there's some kind of mediation of reward system going on there too. Simply put: I no longer get a massive dopamine hit from sugary food. A candy bar still tastes great, but I don't immediately want to eat another one like I used to, even if I'm genuinely hungry. My addictive response to food is gone.

My favourite foods still taste great, I just no longer have to expend all of my energy in not having three portions.

> Can the same effect be replicated by eating a higher fiber and higher fat diet with more whole foods to feel full longer and slow gastric emptying?

No. Like many people who've been on a perpetual diet, I have tried -- at length -- virtually every style of eating known to man. The food noise always comes back. Even before I started, I was eating very healthily as a base-line, mostly vegetables, mostly vegan, mostly whole foods, tracking my fiber to make sure it was high. But I've also tried and sustained for many months keto, paleo, "slow carb", all sorts.
