Looks like it's trying to get some asset files from the bixilon.de server? I can't try this out right now because it crashes with:

Good point, better not try.
Another point about why meat and milk is good when young, but not so much beyond middle age.
To me, it's not so much that reality has a surprising amount of detail, it's that our brains make us feel like whatever model we have is complete. Same thing, of course, but focusing on the brain gets us closer to the cause.
Displayport to HDMI 2.1 adapters already seem quite complex: https://www.paradetech.com/products/ps196/

Is the problem expressing the maximum supported bandwidth end-to-end, i.e. not as a function of the DP channel quality that the source sees?
I guess since you encrypt the whole sqlite db that means you can still offer indexing and FTS while remaining encrypted. But, the application would still have the encryption key in memory. So this protects against an attacker/bad-actor that can access the FS but not if they could access the memory space of the application serving mail items. Is that right?

What basis do you have for that method? Your basis for capital losses is the amount you put into it. If you're writing it off, the value of the asset is by definition zero. The only way you could write off based on the value would be if you already paid capital gains on the value.

This is such a classic title for an Aeon article.

If anyone is interested in other related content I've always found the article about ctenophore nervous system/evolution [1] to be cool - also from Aeon.

Regarding the "higher animal" part: My SO is a neuroscience researcher studying fruit flies, it's common for people to ask "How does your work relate to human brains/health?" and the answer is usually "The work doesn't translate to humans."
Their lab also focuses on "walking behavior" of the fly which can be funny in conversations, flies walk more than you think.

I think the tweet and Musk are just trying to say that Jews are equally racist as whites and they got no right to cry against racism. At least that was my understanding. How is calling some race racist that big of a deal. People do it against all the race specially white.
There are some gray areas in the tax code, but this isn't one of them. You write off your basis in a capital loss. There's no legal justification for writing off "lost profits". Trying to do so would just be tax fraud.

Even if that were a thing, the fact that it would cost more to release it than not shows that the profit value is negative.

Sorry for the confusion here -- you're not the first to ask, but the TLDR is that you can't (right now)!

We do hope to allow octave selection in a future "practice" mode where you're not limited to one puzzle a day, though.

The reason you can't right now is because it gets a little complicated if the user selects the right note but the wrong octave; they'll hear the correct pitch when they play the note, but should we record the wrong octave in the playback, or play the right octave (but potentially cause confusion, because it wasn't exactly the note the user selected?) The easiest thing to do seemed to select the octave for the user, but I'm open to feedback on how to make this less confusing with the maximum fun.

These decompilation projects are not using the distributed game binary to derive the code in their ports directly. It's just used as a rubric. The source code generated from this process is not Nintendo's. That's the idea, at least. Different from taking Windows ISO and jumbling it up into a rude goldberg machine and claiming it as a new work.

Do consumers agree to a end user agreement that specifies they cannot decompile the game? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering#Legality

The book "the tree of possibilities" wrote by Bernard Werber, contains twenty "philosophy-fiction" stories. One of them is about a scientist who want to "free" its brain from its body, so he put his brain in a jar, and just...think. I think it kind of relate to your comment. It's a good reading (an other story is the left hand of one guy taking control and starting to act as a human).
The article mentions bats, and it mentions philosopher Thomas Nagel, but it doesn't mention Nagel's famous 1974 paper, What Is It Like To Be A Bat?. I assume the article title is a riff on that.

I could not agree more.
If Bandcamp actually implodes I would have no idea where to buy music.
I want to buy directly fron the artists; everything else feels tainted.

Is there any alternative?
The force feedback would be yet another layer of tetchy stuff to keep running in a really harsh environment.

I've know backhoe operators who strongly preferred older equipment, when its too new the pins are too tight and they have no "slop" to work with. That slop is what they're using for sensory input, if you watch them. With attention and experience that's real time feedback.

The whole machine is the force feedback mechanism. You're not just sitting there in a comfy chair pulling levers, you're on top of a collection of systems all singing their own song in response to the varying loads placed on them.
Support for PCI-E bifurcation on consumer motherboards was really good for a while when PCI-E 4.0 first came out, however it has since regressed again.

Not many motherboards in the latest gen can do a proper x8+x4+x4 split. They may claim to support it but you run into weird issues has to spend weeks waiting for a bios fix. Or sometimes the support might be there but it is so poorly explained in the manual that I had to actually test it on hand to make sure that I was reading it correctly.

To be fair, HEDT motherboards are not immune to this type of stupidity. However they do manage to get over these issues with the sheer number of lanes.
I def could see doing that but don't think I've ever seen a system with multiple toslink for additional channels like I've seen done for XLR.
With Thunderbolt the USB controller is built in to the display, with full bandwidth available to each USB port.

But if the dedicated USB2 pins were being used, it would just be acting as a USB hub, and the total bandwidth on all ports would be limited to 480 Mbps?

You can simply break up the workload and let each work independently on its part.

Many workloads are very well suited for this. You only need NVLink if you need the cards to collaborate on the same (sub-)task.

Bandcamp was handy for me for years because it sold downloads, all the indie musicians were on it and a surprising amount of stuff from bigger media was there too. It also felt nice supporting "the little guy" compared to iTunes or whatever.

It's rather disappointing if it closes then, but at least I've always used it as a download store so have copies of the music I bought there rather than using their app.
Seeing this here again, I was wondering if it's related to current events. I hope it isn't too soon, sorry to bother you in that case.

Can't you see? Let me explain.

The point of the post is that when you try to translate ideas to the physical world, there are plenty of quirks and you quickly find out what's the difference between theory and practice. That's why many people think that the chatting performance of an AI isn't a good measure of its ability to conquest the world.

And that's why some are so fed up with the doom prophecies, they seem disconnected from reality. But I believe the general opinion has swung too much in the other direction and maybe, just maybe, it's not wise to completely stop thinking about safety.
Very impressive, especially the vector model.
Sorry, nope. It was my own idea (to best of my memory, I haven't seen this anywhere else, so I think it was an original one), I've tried it out, it worked, but I never finalized it, nor wrote anything about it.

It wasn't anything complicated, though. I've just did the documented steps to set up Outlook with my own domain (not sure if that's a free option, I have MS365 subscription for Office apps), except that I made no changes that would disrupt my existing mail system - I've added to SPF and DKIM instead of setting/replacing them, and I haven't touched any MX records at all. Then I've just grabbed Outlook's SMTP details and sent a test email to my other test Outlook account via SMTP and it got delivered with my email address, which gave me a confirmation that my idea had actually worked. I haven't really updated my MTA to do the routing thing, as I was about to replace it anyway (I did since then, replaced Postfix with Maddy).
I suppose I was overly enthusiastic about the project and overlooked the bulk part . Thank you.
Personally, I prefer to use local MMDB versions as they provide faster results and do not require network usage. Having knowledge about whether an IP is a proxy, VPN, data center, etc. is valuable to me, but I understand that it may vary depending on each project's requirements.
Too bad they aren't sharing source code. Ah well, one can dream of 100gbps per core.
> Cookie banners happened because US devs didn't steelman EU regs.

This is one of the dumbest narratives I see on HN all the time. A community of people who build things for a living should know better.

Think of regulation as software designed to create an outcome in the real world.

If everyone is wrongly using/interpreting your software…the problem is not “everyone.” The problem is the design of your software.
I think grieving is more about accepting the loss than just thinking about it. You can move on once you've accepted the loss, and really feel that acceptance of it. It's about letting go of things you can't have.

Melancholy to me is like feeling both the good and the bad simultaneously. Not just the rosy part as you asked. And also I think there's a sublime aspect to it, something about understanding the mystery and all it's aspects. There's a sublime clarity in melancholy.

I do think you can get stuck in melancholy, when you should be grieving.

Also the article really makes me think that nostalgia is potentially a very dangerous emotion. We all feel it, but I think it's a retreat from a suffering you're facing, an avoidance mechanism. All growth comes from suffering, so by avoiding suffering you get stuck when you should be growing. Still it's very hard to let go of the stuff that was good in our youth, like the feeling of opening up that Nintendo on Christmas when you were ten.

No matter how many times I read it, I interpret his Z as little more than a technical definition of Y. In both, Y and Z are the same actions.

Because we fundamentally disagree on the intent. I don't agree that a cat is engaging in parasitic exploitation of the human toy-thrower, and I don't agree that a dog is toiling in servitude to the thankless human who keeps throwing away the retrieved item. They both love chasing things, they both understand that to chase the thing again they need to return it to the human, and they both appreciate the positive reinforcement, bonding, petting, and attention when they do so.

I’m right handed and taught myself to also use the mouse with my left hand but only when playing games. For movement and all the extra functions, it made more sense to me to use the numerical keypad with my dominant right hand.

There is no limitation in copying the work of an author for personal enjoyment without permission. If I use my neurons to read and create an exact copy I can retell to myself, or I write it on pen and paper, or I type it on a personal computer, or I read it out loud, or read it out loud and record it for myself I don’t violate anything. Otherwise one would never be able to play copyrighted sheet music on a digital piano say. Reverse engineering might violate other agreements but not copyright law.
Holy shit that's so badass BingAI banned you. I mean like it sucks and i hope it gets resolved, but still awesome. you got it just from trying to make a composite of people's faces? i guess it takes fraud seriously, at least for biometrics. however you clearly either weren't doing that or omitted some choice details. good luck with appealing; that process always wrecks my faith in humanity.

i've been trying to see how much i can get away with before it suspends or bans me using one of my throwaway accounts. it takes some doing, but if you convince it you aren't doing something shady right before doing something shady it'll play along with you a fair bit more than if you just say "hi bing, i wanna do some shady shit." unfortunately you have to engineer your "i'm not gonna do (insert something shady)" prompt on a per shade basis.
Ask HN: How to remotely support older parents with bad health/lifestyle habits?
My parents turned 70 this year. They both have deteriorating health and independence, albeit in different ways. I want to help them but they are very set in their ways. What would you do?

My mother has hip mobility issues and is extremely stubborn about any invasive procedures. She needs surgery but vehemently refuses it and I feel that’s a losing battle. She’d accept physical therapy but that’s probably the limit. She doesn’t like doctors generally; she took a hard fall down the stairs recently, hit her head with a good amount of bleeding (no confusion/signs of concussion), and refused to see a doctor because she thought she felt fine. She’s incredible at rationalizing why any argument you might have or gentle nudge you might suggest doesn’t make sense. I’d need to decide she’s going and make her do what I think is right.

My dad doesn’t take care of himself if left alone. He’s a pack rat and has a terrible diet, tons of cheese, yogurt, and rich/fatty products. When I come home and cook anything, it’s what he eats the whole week. He doesn’t want to do any meal prep, he has odd peculiarities like not wanting “messy” food (like oil on salad leaves, apparently?)

Beyond their personal quirks, they have to do a lot of work around the house. Since my dad is a pack rat, my mom has to clean up if she wants the house clean, which plays on her mobility issues. He helps with chores but everyday tasks are tedious; she avoids going up/down stairs as much as possible and that’s nearly impossible with our house layout.

I love my parents and want their lives to be easier. After seeing her fall, I’m also terrified by the idea it could have happened when no one was around, so I want to keep a closer eye on them.

We live hundreds of miles apart, I can’t check on them easily, and I don’t trust them to tell me what’s going on. They would probably let me set up anything I want back home, so I’m wondering about either technical solutions or services that could help them. Frankly their house layout is not friendly as they age, but I think that’s a non starter.

Things I’ve considered:

- Apple/smart watch with fall detection, auto emergency calls, panic button.

- professional declutterer/ongoing cleaning service.

- prepared meal service for my dad to eat healthier

- whatever the human equivalent of a furbo is

- find her a pcp she trusts?

- ?

The first thing I did when I heard Bandcamp was being sold again was put all my albums into a Ko-fi shop thing for free and let everyone who ever bought one know.

I figured I could at least make sure the people who supported my music all these years were taken care of.
you literally replied with "Does shaming people about their sexual hygiene ..."

I did not mention their hygiene, sexual or otherwise.

If you

1. Have multiple sexual partners

2. Don't get regular STI tests

you are in the wrong. I am not shaming hygiene, shaming STIs, shaming the number (high or low, I literally do not care what consensual adults are doing with or without clothes), shaming the frequency (again, don't care).

I am saying that the basic social contract of sleeping with someone is that you are open and honest about your sexual health, and in the absence of explicitly saying you have an STI the reasonable assumption your partners are making is that you have a reasonable belief you are not carrying anything transmissible. To be able to do that you need to have regular STI checks.

You're right that shaming someone for having an STI is not helpful, especially given a number of STIs aren't curable, but not getting tested is a _choice_, and shaming people at risk of STIs for not getting tested is no different from shaming people for drunk driving. You are making a bad choice and expecting no consequences.

Buy a vinyl album from artists who sell such things, which will get them far more, per album sold, than just about anything else. Your ability to play vinyl is irrelevant here, and all I'll ask is that you store it reasonably (upright, in a cool place, sealed if you're not going to play it) for future use, since they last "about forever" when well taken care of.

Then obtain the music in some lossless form. FLAC download from the usual sources, used CD on eBay into the ripper, etc.

Though I've also debated just starting to mail checks in envelopes to artists I want to directly support.

It's certainly more annoying than something like BandCamp. But given how "literally everything useful on the internet" either turns into a behavioral surplus vampire or dies (gets killed off), I don't have any better ideas either.
