Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity - Peter Attia
Some of the books I've read this year that I'd recommend:

The Divine Comedy by Dante - It is hard to underestimate how much it has influenced our culture.

A Distant Mirror - The history of the 14th century, but engaging like a novel.

Name of the Rose - Mystery novel set in Medieval times.

On Lisp by Paul Graham - http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html

Seasoned Schemer - Kind of an interactive book that teaches computer science concepts in an interactive paper based way. Probably best to start with the Little Schemer first.
Cops have two modes: lying and speaking authoritatively from ignorance of the actual law.
You just pretty print console logs at breakpoint location. IDE extension + some web app. Why closed source lol. I won't pay for it, could build my own. Sorry but you first need open source traction and then try to sell to enterprises. Good luck
That's never discouraged me from experimenting before ;)

But in all seriousness, it depends on the chemistry.

Li-ion? - No way I'm building my own!

LiFePO4 - can come in nice prismatic cells that are easy to connect terminals with bars (just remember to keep them under compression!). Their failure mode is MUCH nicer than Li-ion.

LTO - these are really interesting to me, and I am really tempted to branch out into this area. They look great from a safety perspective.

Anyone use Merlin with location off? I've used and watched it be ultra common/vague but mostly fail in 6 countries. Is it simply using location and the merest hint of sound captured to calculate the suggested bird? Full disclosure, I haven't used it (since) for around a year, some things can change for the better. I also have a brand new iPhone since - better mics?
Biopics generally have the issue that there's enough creative license taken that people looking for fidelity are unhappy while, at the same time, the writers/director are sufficiently constrained within factual guardrails that they can't necessarily create the exact movie they'd like to.
sounds like they need to invest in some regulatory capture or maybe just all of their competitors, capitalism is only supposed to work like that in text books!
Rather than make you deal with those pesky errors, we could suppress the errors and only process the records we know how to decide.

Win-win?
White House warns it might break patents of high-priced drugs
The Atari was released in September 1977, so by 1983 it definitely was a bit long in the tooth. Arcade hardware continued to progress - then Nintendo hit the sweet spot in late 1985 with its resolution, colors, sprites, and cost (and licensing agreements because the Sega Master System was slightly better hardware wise but didn't do as well in the U.S.)

Six good years is a long time for any console in the US.
it's called hip, and it's mostly the same

AMD have their own thrust gpu impls, so from a high level they are somewhat interchangeable
Considering the list was generated from data, not just the author's opinion, I wonder what criteria you're using for "should".

My guess is a lot more of the general population feels the same (negative) way about it, but your sample of people you've seen reacting to it is giving you selection bias, thinking more people enjoy it
So the goal is to help LLMs avoid writing insecure code.
I'll give you a fourth one.

There _are_ signs consistently that something has an understanding of physics and inertia that violate our understanding of such things, which implies our assumptions about distance of things in the universe are wrong.

Those vehicles appearance but lack of most interaction, lack of destruction implies something worse, that we are probably still such a primative civilization we're treated like zoo animals.

These conversations about the last century of the search for alien life in the light of David Grusch's testimony to Congress and the various and numerous UAP videos are.. interesting to say the least.
Close the store?
"Tracking ratings variance by release year, we observe an increase in review variability starting in the late 1970s, followed by a precipitous decline in variance starting in the early 2000s."

I'm sure there is also some time dependent effect in how people rate movies now vs. in the past. For a snapshot in current time, one would need to be careful to not include ratings from too long ago as society and norms change.
Never heard of that story, I seen more times the story where the LLM refused to answer how to kill a process, I think Claude has the reputation to be extreme with this things.
This was my first thought too because the argument is against a FSF-award-winning founder and maintainer of 25 years of one of the most important and widely used cryptographic libraries.

How to Use Google's Gemini AI in Its Bard Chatbot
I randomly stumbled on the Proxima & Ultima duology by Stephen Baxter and they shot up to the top echelon of my favorite books list. Near-future sci-fi, interstellar travel, alternate histories, alien cultures, non-human cognition. Just wonderful stuff to randomly pick off the library shelf because they had a cool sounding name. I actually read the 2nd book first by accident, and thought it worked pretty well in retrospect.

I also liked Eon by Greg Bear (RIP), for actually quite similar reasons.
The big company does not want to store your messages, as they need to deal with Chinese, Turkish, Saudis and other people whose messages someone wants to read. If there is “nothing to read” (let’s forget about metadata) then governments and such should abuse the system less.
Since it's a paid product, i would like to shill for an open source product that performs a similar function: https://github.com/djblue/portal

Unfortunately, it is only usable for a clojure(script) code base, as it requires a REPL. For a live demo of what it does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj-iyDo3bq0 , or just explore the UI and see for yourself https://djblue.github.io/portal/
...and get paid for posting.
Word of warning: only read Malazan if you have 400+ hours burning a hole in your lifespan. Those books are good, but they are _long_
> Now the exploit was rewritten to read memory, and blink out the contents using the LCD backlight. A LEGO construction was built and a webcam would register the binary stream of a few megabytes of memory contents. Slooooow.

It both amazes me and cracks me up how exploits are accomplished. Given enough time and determination...

What is the purpose of this kind of science journalism?

The basic structure of the piece is to put a claim in the headline that sounds like a sci-fi breakthrough, then spend the article explaining that this isn’t actually a sci-fi breakthrough.

Like, the entire article here is basically saying ‘there is such a thing as a time mirror. No, it doesn’t make light travel back in time.’

What it doesn’t do is remotely explain what a time mirror is and what it actually does do. No, ‘scientists made a time mirror out of a metamaterial that uses capacitive switches to add and remove matter’ does not answer what a time mirror is.

I can tell you I made a florb warper out of a piece of zinc suspended in a cup of tea and you’re still none the wiser what a florb warper is or what it means for florbs to get warped. But please don’t get the wrong idea - it’s nothing like the warp drive from Star Trek! After all, it uses tea and zinc, not dilithium! Still, we can headline the article about it ‘Scientists test warp device’.
I didn’t have time to watch yet, but did he take into consideration lunar crater telescopes? I always thought that would be an excellent reason to establish a lunar base.

I grew up during the Atari age. Anecdotally it was really a problem. Folks who owned one would play it, enjoy it, but then you'd start picking up games that were purely "twitchy" and had nothing else going for them... and then another and ... it just wasn't enough to want to keep playing. Eventually your system collected dust.

The NES came along and the gameplay on the games, while superficially similar, felt more dynamic and had more going for it.

As a kid I probably wouldn't have said "low quality cartilages" but it certainly colored your view of the system and how you spent your time. Atari had a lot of garbage and was woefully arcade style play. Nintendo came along with something more / great games.
The summary text is descriptive and accurate (so far, need to test more). Thumbnails for each segment could be better--less repetitive, eyes open, etc. But overall as good or better than what I've seen from commercial video mam vendors over the last 20 years.
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Edward Gibbon

edit: lol downvotes?
Curious -- people love those Little Schemer books. I've read SICP back in the day and loved that. I'd be interested in more of your impressions about LS/SS, if you care to share.
I don't think it's referring only to direct reports but to the entire reporting tree under you.
The lobbying organization is a bunch of ex-cops and lobbyists. CLEAR is a 5013c registered to the house of a prison guard industry lobbyist who was an LEO. The whole thing has been orchestrated by cops for propaganda purposes. Whether the retailers were in on it or duped is immaterial.

I wonder if they reverse engineered the stuff we left behind in Afghanistan.
Technology Doesn't Always Win
I don't see many examples of that being discussed as a threat to humanity but it sure feels like it is to me. Primarily as it's the slow creep of technological advancement from 2D->3D->AR->(Full Fidelity) VR->Neuro immersion.
Multiply all known primes together, add 1, factor the resulting number. There will be at least one new prime in the resulting factorization. The "factorization" part can take a _very_ long time, though.
It’s written in the FAQ
Ordinarily, ToS do meet all the requirements of a contract. Both sides assent to certain promises. They make an offer of the terms and you accept it by checking the box or whatever like they ask. That's what a contract is: https://matthewminer.name/law/outlines/1L/1st+Semester/LAW+5...

Even where you don't make the account, a court would assumedly find she agreed to the contract by virtue of quantum meruit by consenting to have you make it and her continuing to use the account.

Legends and Lattes is probably my favorite book i've read this year

Set in the DnD universe a adventure retires and sets up a coffee shop in a large city. Except no one knows what coffee is, and her past follows her there.

This is a quick read at around 200 pages, so if you read massive fantasy tomes like I do you'll knock this one out really quickly. Where it shines though is its world building and the sense of community you get from the characters as you make your way through the story. I've been recommending it to my friends and they have all loved it just as much as I did.
Yes, I acknowledged that in a reply to a sibling comment, however, I would take any movie/tv show dialogue that suggests motivations to be speculation unless provided with heavy evidence. A lot of times, this type of stuff can paint someone as good/bad, and it is either completely made up or misrepresented for the purposes of drama and selling the media.

It would behoove everyone to never take movie representations of history as fact, even if the broad strokes are supported by evidence.
That seems to be mostly a US thing. Programmers there seems to be more libertarian than elsewhere, and unions are seen as, if not an embodiment of Big Bad Communism, at least a recognition that we’re not as independent as we might would like. Here in France we’re hardly opposed to unions. We’re lazy in not joining for sure, and some do say they’re useless, but almost no one would dare suggest they’re bad.

By the way I believe the difference between our ways of thinking goes beyond such politics, and influence our technical decisions as well. Someone who’s all about negative freedom (lack of restrictions) and distrusting authorities (most notably governments), is I think more likely to prefer permissive licences and dynamic typing.

Conversely, those who prefer static typing are more likely to see programming as a branch of applied maths, accept more immediate loss of freedom for a greater good, and believe that a government can be trustworthy even if they may not like their current one.
End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration by Peter Turchin. Instead of just bemoaning the current state of politics, Turchin uses a data-informed comparison to previous, similar cycles to see where we're headed.

If you tone down the sarcasm, you could have just asked how to do it on mobile phones. Then you might have realised that's a question you could have asked elsewhere as a search, and you'd have found your answer. I've found that moving towards a much friendlier/professional tone on HN leads to better outcomes and more importantly better thinking through what I'm saying.

As others have said, get a browser that supports addons and enjoy browsing the web without ads and these banners.
> The argument is that with their influx of applicants, they can afford false negatives (a good programmer failing an algorithm quiz) more than false positives (a bad programmer passing a personality test).

I don't understand this line of thinking, especially at the Big Tech companies. You're hired on a probationary basis, usually six months. If the candidate seems reasonable then hire them. It's sink or swim time.
This comes up from time to time with photons. It's usually the result of confusion over the difference between phase velocity and group velocity.
This sounds similar in some ways to the startup/VC ecosystem - with enough practice you can produce something marketable, but with out the right connections, it's probably going to go nowhere, and even then there's no guarantee.
Really going above and beyond on that, "write a function that reverses a string in place" interview question, aren't they? I'm afraid I'll have to dock points in simplicity though.
My guess is deniability, just like Apple. Apple wanted to make CSAM detection work and make iPhone essentially a weapon law, but when their users hit back, they just made iCloud e2ee. With the number of child predators on FB, I am guessing that Meta wants to wash their hands of responsibility.
And a very ripe banana can have an ABV value of 0.4%.
One could use it to make their day to day life less petty and boring by expanding their knowledge and their intellectual horizons, and thinking about beyond the limited necessities or niceties of their "day to day life".
Yes, let's run the world economy off a currency that could halve in value if Satoshi Nakamoto finds an old USB drive sitting around somewhere.
But to me, what matters is the actual change to main/master at the time the thing is merged — that is what affects the team.

Totally agree, if the developper goes in wrong product direction at the beginning and add 10 additional commits afterwards: team + 6 month actually don't care about it.

I certainly see no point in merging it in when it based on an ancient ancestor

If you want the CI to run, before the merge on the result it will produce on main branch ?
I guess the distinction would come from whether salary levels are considered "trade secrets". In the US it definitely wouldn't fly, salary discussions are specifically allowed and retaliation against people discussing their salaries is illegal. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen under some other pretext, but it definitely won't be as blatant.
How do you backup Signal stuff? Is it included in local "iTunes" Backups?
The most valuable feature of PGP is establishment of a long term online identity bound to a set of keys.

That is perhaps what all of these replacement schemes fail to realize.

I really wish "Login with PGP" was a thing and use a subkey for each website, with optional ability to hide the identity of a particular website in my own keychain. You know, sorta like passkeys, but I don't have to have Google/Apple/etc involved and I can actually inspect the magic behind the scenes.
Are you open to international employees for the remote option?
Blaming users? An interesting strategy. Nonetheless I use gpt4. It’s rather useless.
wonder if this coincides with the Netflix promise to be the single platform to get all content failing. I'm on Netflix & Prime yet I still don't find the things I want to watch.
I don't personally see anything wrong with people getting riled up. Obviously that changes if one moves past words and assaults someone, destroys property, etc but there's nothing wrong with discourse. Again, this is just my opinion having grown up in the US and I wouldn't begin to say other cultures should agree!

Living in Germany, do you find yourself being hesitant to speak out either online or publicly? Do you have a clear enough expectation of what would a judge would rule with regards to speech? And do you ever worry about how those existing laws could be misused in the future by people with more strict opinions of what speech is off limits?

I lived in a European country with similar laws to Germany for two years. As it turned out I was really only there for two years of pandemic response unfortunately, but I didn't feel particularly comfortable speaking in public about anything related to the pandemic response or leadership. Without having a clear line on what would be deemed offensive by a court I found myself censoring my own speech to avoid running afoul of laws I didn't even know I broke.
Had the same experience, I think it's a brilliant movie and my friends thought I was an idiot for wasting their time.
Ah the V-22. My personal immediate choice among all flying objects for 'never put me on that thing'. Close second is anything rocket powered.
No need to dissuade people from actually learning and doing things.

It is pretty trivial if you are prepared.
PoC was explicit gore porn, extremely well done.

I've never understood how that was supposed to advance the actual messages of Christ that people find moving and helpful. I don't think it was.

"The Revenant" had some of the same grinding brutality. We were allowed to say "this is just gore porn with no redeeming value" there, tho.
They perhaps already do - and know that now this isn't the right comment to practice it on.
webusb is another missing feature, and AFAIK Mozilla has a strong stance against enabling it because of the security implications. This is one of the only reasons I keep a chrome-ish browser installed.

{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....
It doesn't require that. But the bird sound does need to be fairly prominent, so yep, somewhere not too noisy would be good.
Same thing can be applied for consumers of meat, where meat gets produced from rearing animals in congested places, violent treatment etc.
I don't find this behaviour crazy or unexpected at all.

NULL doesn't refer to any specific 'missing value' state, instead it represents a larger group of possible values of which we don't know the actual value.

So in a pile of values 'foo' and 'bar', NULL could mean either of them, so there is no way of knowing if a NULL row is foo or if it is bar. We can't even know if two NULLS are equal.
There's been some mixed-success that I've seen with people retraining models over in reddit.com/r/localllama/ but because of the way things go it's not quite a silver bullet to do so, you usually end up with other losses because training just the ones involved is difficult or impossible because of the way the data is all mixed about, at least that's my understanding.

"In this paper, using the concept of artificial selection, it is determined with mathematical and statistical evidence how humans could artificially select for canine intelligence to such a degree as to produce canines with human levels of intelligence within a relatively short amount of time—600 years."
