> 'To do' lists doesn't do that well either, you can add the 'rotate the tapes' task... and it would be there everyday, Fri-Wed, nagging you and eventually you just adblock it. What would happen on Tue? You would miss the task because you trained yourself to ignore it.

I use "RememberTheMilk", which supports this sort of task: only show up in my inbox every Tuesday, only disappears once I mark it as done, until next Tuesday.

For different tasks, you can also set it to repeat "X days after done", instead of "every Tuesday".

I don't have Knuth to hand...but yeah it is possible you can accidentally pick a number that is too close to a rational, so you get short repeats of tracks instead of long ones. What you're after is a number with a high approximation coefficient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville_number#Irrationality... but in practice you just need to know that it is irrational "enough", eg you might want to avoid repeats in the first 1000 plays.

You can get that by rejection sampling on the random number and using the Farey sequence to find nearby low-denominator fractions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence#Applications - if I pick a number between 0 and 1 I can use 0/1, 1/1 as the starting point for the usual iteration. (and then scale to .25,.75 at the end). You pick your approximation bound mu and reject if log(abs(p/q - x)) > - mu log q, repeat the farey iteration until q is large enough. (just making this up as I go on an ipad, I may have a sign wrong in there or whatever)

It is actually much simpler than this ^ to just explicitly check the first 1000 numbers for a loop. It's simpler than tortoise and hare: you know there is no run-in, so the first number is in the loop, and you want that number to not reappear in the first min(N,1000) items.
“Shipping the org chart” refers to a phenomenon in product development where the structure of an organization is reflected in its products. This concept suggests that the design and functionality of a product can inadvertently mirror the internal structure of the company that created it.
In certain rich neighborhoods there is intense competition to get your kids into the right preschool to ensure they are going to be able to compete. Maybe there's a connection between the rich breeding expensive dogs and horses for competition and them overdriving their children for the same reason - because it makes them look good.

> I honestly think we’d catch a lot if we did the same [biennial testing] with blood tests. We’d probably save a lot on healthcare with early detections and corrections.

That is definitely not clear. Also every procedure has iatrogenic risk.

Look at cancer screenings in the USA: they have gotten more precise and more frequent, so more cancers are caught earlier and survival time increased.

Or has it? Since we find smaller tumors, we find ones that might never have metastasized at all, but intervene anyway. Even for the dangerous ones, earlier detection means earlier treatment, but was the patient going to at 50 either way? That just means they are a cancer patient for a longer period, which by the metrics counts as longer survival.
This is also notable, because the technology that Beeper Mini is based on was public and available to potential attackers before Beeper Mini launched. Beeper didn't invent this, they contracted the developer and based the project off of their open Github repository.

Apple did leave the hole open; they left it open until it threatened their customer lock-in. Only at that point did they decide that it was a security risk.
I agree.

I think this comment would be highly upvoted if it included citations to contradictory studies, and maybe had a more constructive tone.

I could rephrase this way: Copying Is Theft if you made a lot of money with that. Copying Is Not Theft if you made a living of that.
I agree, its not really about salaries. Thats why people arent really motivated by the small promo structure or being rated TT/Exceeds Expectations at big companies. It's more about not being a wagie/generational wealth when the payoff happen that causes the change in behavior.

You could add an "ignorable" zstd-compressed IDAT variant, but that wouldn't give you backwards-compat in any useful way - the zlib-compressed IDAT still has to be present, and unless you fill it full of zeroes or a placeholder image, the overall file is going to be larger.
i feel like this is largely motivated by growing qualms over being highly dependent on China. They are not alone by far, but Apple truly is an extraordinary case of being enitrely at the mercy of china playing their role. COVID was the event that lowered the tide enough to, painfully so, expose whos swimming naked. Now, add growing concerns over IP protection plus political volatility, and you have a situation that makes shareholders and executives queasy when rethinking their current position. China also isnt as cheap as it used to be, has economic troubles and faces an impending population collapse. Thats one hell of an uncertain future, soon-to-be superpowers dont tend to suddenly stop providing key metrics regarding their population and economy. Lets see how they handle their own personal 2008, Evergrande aint lookin too good either.
Yes. I highly recommend the book When by Daniel Pink: https://www.danpink.com/books/when/
Some companies do love the race to the bottom, but these don’t last long.

Others seek instead to make remarkable things, and for these it makes sense to throw money at the best talent. What does it matter if an engineer costs 1m/yr if they make something worth 100m - 1000m? In fact, it’s a bargain.

This phenomenon doesn’t exclusively exist in America, but the environment there is more conducive to entrepreneurs swinging for the fences than most other countries. They’ve also been playing at a high level for much longer than most, so investors there have lots of wealth to fund startups.

So that’s where you find the big salaries as well.
It's not a democratic organisation. Some parts of it are elected but they're not where the authority or power is held.
I wonder if that’s just a comfort food like thing. You associate it with a satisfactory feeling.
I saw the movie last night and for my first Godzilla experience, I was extremely impressed. It deserves its 97% RT rating, and manages to do so much with its limited $15m budget as well.

I recommend that you give it a watch while it's still out in extended limited release due to its success.
We were the first investors in for-profit OpenAI.

I wonder what the war feels like inside Russia now, for regular people.

This would be like the US invading Mexico, for years. I remember feeling pretty dismal, but mixed, about the wars in the Middle East, but its just a whole different scale...
Yeah, I can’t believe Metallica recovered from that. In my mind, they’re up there with Volkswagen - their brand has a stigma attached to it.
I remember in public school having a spiral bound planner I had to bring to every class, and teachers would instruct us what to write in there to help us track homework due dates, quiz and exam dates and such. I have no idea what students do now; is it digitized? I feel like just the act of copying the assignment from the board to my planner by hand helped me stay accountable to it.

I have literally never, ever, ever in my entire life heard people say "I was spit upon" as a figure of speech. Ever. Please don't accuse me of being absurd just because I have not had the same life experience as you.
Conical burr grinders are much better. Kitchen aid isn't the only brand. I have a brazata encore that works very well and there's a good modding community for it as well. For example the burrs can be upgraded fairly easily which is typically needed if you want an expresso grind.
Freud and Levi-Strauss were scientists/academics who influenced philosophy, but not philosophers. Philosophy has a lot of dependencies, this is why every so often a fork is needed to 'restart' but it never works and dependencies start piling up again.
Well, lucky you, because now there's new management :-)

In all seriousness, you may want to open an issue <https://github.com/openbao/openbao/issues> as they have weighed in on a few threads here saying they're open to suggestions

Having implemented a reader for 1Password's "old" opvault format, I would imagine the threat model is not just searching, so it may be a heavy lift to coerce ~~Vault~~ OpenBao's mental model over into one that can be used as a consumer a password manager but I'll admit that would be pretty cool to unify vaultwarden and OpenBao into one stop shopping for all one's cryptographic needs

The news reports here in India say that there’s a lot of red tape and delays in India. Ease of doing business is lower compared to Vietnam. The policies are protectionist and restrictive. The labor laws are, to some extent, protective of employees. This is something Apple has been reported as not being happy about (but things are changing).

Apple already has a growing iPhone assembly base in India, which is set to go to 25% of its total iPhone production within a few years. While Apple is still looking for low cost production, I’m sure it doesn’t want a repeat of China by concentrating a lot on one or two countries. I think the current moves are a temporary aberration, since concentrating iPhones in India, iPads and Macs in Vietnam and so on doesn’t diversify the risk as much as ensuring that every product is assembled in more than one country. I’m sure Tim Cook is spending a lot of time working on such measures to de-risk manufacturing and maintaining the company’s profit margins.

All the countries that support low cost assembly and manufacturing in Asia have different kinds of problems as far as governments, policies and stability are concerned. Apple or any other company has to figure out the right mix and plans.
I often treasure the ~7:30-9:30 chunk of my day when WFH because of this tendency. It's basically guaranteed focus time and always feels a pity to lose it commuting on the days I go to the office
> But these participants were provided meals from a meal service

Only for the first month. And if it didn't satisfy them sufficiently study dropout or cheating would become more likely. They appear to have been allowed to 'cheat' formally, anyway.

: Participants also purchased and consumed snacks to meet their energy requirements following guidance from health educators.

: Although weight loss was not discouraged, our diet design did not include a prescribed energy restriction and was not intended to be a weight loss study. Participants were told to eat until they were satiated throughout the study.

I'm more interested in their exclusion criteria, as this makes their study less generalizable to populations who may need it:

: We excluded participants who weighed 45.36 kg (100 lb) or less, had a body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 40 or higher, had an LDL-C level of 190 mg/dL or higher (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259), had a systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher, or were pregnant.
> The only vit that I know about that has studies showing supplements helps is D.

Even that is not clear. We know that sick people often have lower D levels but we don’t know which way the causality runs.

Or there could be no causality at all: low D levels could simply be correlated with a sedentary lifestyle which is the actual problem is some cases. Thus adjusting the level would be a waste of time.
I read their stuff occasionally and find interesting things there from time to time.

Given thousands of submissions, it might be seen as a low signal to noise ratio.

A few years ago, I think there was more signal in what I saw on Hacker News...I remember that's where Rich Hickey talks showed up and made it to HN.

Altman’s departure represented a real possibility they may miss out of enormous amounts of wealth. People are willing to put up with or even support a lot of things when money is on the line.
> They know iMessage exclusivity drives hardware sales. The emails have come out proving as much.

I find this incredibly hard to believe. And just because the Apple marketing department believes something is true, doesn't make it so.

Maybe I run in a weird crowd, but I've never met anyone who cares whether "text messages" are delivered over SMS or iMessage. In general most messaging I do happens over Signal, WhatsApp, Discord, or (in a few unfortunate cases) Instagram messenger.
> not retain a copy

Unfortunately this is just one step away from a blog post where the CEO apologizes for letting down their customers by keeping copies of all data in an unsecured s3 bucket that was downloaded in its entirety by a 13 year old "hacker".
But selling a copy is.
Someone would have to fund it. The compliance issues alone are very expensive.
I don't understand how this doesn't open them up to massive liability but it's sort of an open secret that collusion is only illegal if you fall out of favor with the government these days.
the star trek theme has lyrics? beyond the voiceover by the captain?
I do use multiple keys and I like them a lot, but there is a big Issue I don't see mentioned a lot: you can't solo it on most services:

- Google forces you to also keep their stupid "verify on another device", where you can't even untrust specific devices without fully logging out
- proton apps don't support fido auth
- microsoft account only allows it on edge and afaik not at all on linux
- and so on..

I think the only service where I can fully disable other 2FA channels is github.

Edit: a word
I'd never heard of that Brazata Encore, not that I'm in the market anymore. Good to know though. The KitchenAid allows removal of the top ring in the conical grinder, allowing ultra-coarse grinds. I've never had to do that because I find that the coarsest grind is already great for my French Press.
All the kids who had the parents holding their nose to the grindstone didn’t end up faring any better than the kids ditching free period to smoke weed in the woods, at least among my generation of peers. Those kids were certainly more stressed though. No point in paying for expensive colleges either, in state at your flagship will educate you as well as any ivy for undergrad.

He Built a Trillion-Dollar Company. He Wouldn't Do It Again
Oh, the infamous "/s" – the internet's neon sign flashing "ATTENTION: SARCASM AHEAD." Where do I even start with this? It's like we've collectively decided that the art of understanding sarcasm needed training wheels.

First off, let's talk about how it completely annihilates the fun of sarcasm. Sarcasm is like a secret handshake; it's supposed to be subtle, a little game of wit between the speaker and the listener. But no, we had to slap a big, fat "/s" at the end, just in case someone's sarcasm radar is as effective as an ashtray on a motorcycle.

And then there's the snobbishness of it all. It's like saying, "Oh dear, I better put this here because you might not grasp the advanced concept of sarcasm." It's patronizing! We're basically assuming that people online have the emotional range of a teaspoon and can't catch a sarcastic comment unless it's gift-wrapped with a "/s".

But wait, it gets better. The safety of "/s" makes a padded playground look like an extreme sports event. It's like we're afraid of a little scrape or bruise from a misunderstood joke. Remember when playgrounds were made of concrete and we survived? Now, it's all about safety first, even in our online conversations. "Watch out, don't hurt yourself on that sharp wit!"

And as we progress down this ridiculous road, let's envision a world where everything is as blatantly obvious as sarcasm with a "/s" tag. Imagine going to a comedy show where the comedian has to pause and explain each joke. "And that, ladies and gentlemen, was a joke about marriage. You can laugh now." Or picture reading a book where every metaphor is followed by an explanation. "The curtains were blue, which symbolizes the character's deep sadness, in case you didn't catch that."

We could even take it further. How about emotional cue cards for everyday conversations? "I'm about to tell a joke – please prepare to laugh" or "Warning: sarcasm in 3, 2, 1..." The possibilities are endless in our brave new world of over-explained humor.

In the spirit of this absurdity, let's just put disclaimers on everything. "Warning: This rant may contain traces of hyperbole and a pinch of irony. Please consume responsibly." And don't forget, if you didn't find this funny, it's probably because I didn't put a "/s" at the end. My bad.
It's not relevant in this context and both of the comments were throw away lines.

To be coldly analytical about this: how many people discovered in rubble are successfully rescued? It makes for good TV, but finding those people, orchestrating the movement of debris, while person is potentially injured, all given the context of a wide-spread disaster seems low odds.

When the Surfside condominium collapsed in Miami (a very localized calamity), did rescuers have a genuine belief that anyone trapped underneath could still be alive and saved? From my armchair, it seemed foregone conclusion that there were going to be no survivors.

Seems much better to have a contingent of drones which can quickly canvas an area and locate survivors visibly trapped or otherwise requiring assistance on the surface.

Edit: Wiki page on the Surfside: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfside_condominium_collapse

I use external drives locally, then upload to Google Drive (Workspace), and Fastmail storage. I figure two separate remote backups and a local backup is probably safe enough.
I wrote some reflections in https://jamesg.blog/2023/11/27/technical-writing/ that cover the "what", "why", and a little bit of the "how" of technical writing.

If you have already decided "yes, I want to become a technical writer!", write, a lot. If your job doesn't involve writing, start a blog. Write about the technical challenges that interest you; the web, databases -- anything! Having public examples to which you can point will look great to employers.
Isn't that just a win-on-execution model? Given that OpenAI does not exactly have stellar management and the fact we're not sure where the big economic wins for LLMs will occur it seems premature to declare them the winner.
Once stable, yes, absolutely! There should be a reference standard that renderers adhere to. Then they should be versioned for future improvement. That doesn't mean there can't be bug and security fixes, but they should be feature-stable.

There's a reason why JPEG and PNG are so popular: because they ARE stable and unchanging, in a world of failed adoption for APNG, WebP, HVEC, JPEG 2000, JPEG XL, AVIF, etc.

For image formats, broad compatibility is way way way more important than small gains in codec performance and filesize.

----

Edit: From memory, this is something we learned the hard way back in the 90s and early 2000s, when image (and other) formats saw very rapid development and bandwidth was still hard to get. PNG was a huge improvement over GIF, and that mattered a lot over 56k modems. But the road to its adoption was very difficult, with many features only partially supported for years in different apps.

When WebP launched, it was objectively better in most ways compared to both PNG and JPEG, but it still saw limited uptake. Part of that was the titans fighting amongst themselves (other tech companies didn't want to adopt a Google format), but also by that point both JPEG and PNG were good enough and connections & CPUs were good enough. The incremental improvement it offered rarely justified it sometimes not working for some users on some browsers.

It's a similar situation for many other formats: H.264 in a MP4 is good enough, MP3s are still good enough, etc. On the other hand, PDFs and DOC/DOCX have different features depending on what reader you use (such as PDF forms, JS validation, accessibility, or DOCX not rendering the same on different readers), and it's a mess.
I'd guess they mean cleaner of toxins, in reference to biomagnification. It's basically the reason I'm veg.
