Downtowns wrecked by unhoused heroin and fentanyl addicts don't seem to have such regulations in place for that substance, so I wouldn't personally assume that's the case for cannabis, or alcohol for that matter.

The optics, for a modern democratic republic, aren’t even that fantastic: pardons and proclamations are the acts of Kings. Democracies change laws through debate, legislation, and the voting by the representatives of the people.

> If you have decent TTLs dns doesn’t result in a shitstorm of lookups, nor does it require anything more powerful than a raspberry pi to respond to them

This applies equally to any kind of lookup service you use. It's not a distinguishing feature of DNS.

The distinguishing features of DNS are that it's a global, highly regulated, key-value storage with only eventual consistency that may take days to reach. (It has probably never been consistent on practice.) None of those features are desirable for your internal servers configuration.
More people at least knowing and having some practice with these things makes communities more antifragile.

At our current rate of consolidation and specialization we're going to get to the point where so few people know how to do particular high tech things we may be at risk of someone taking those people out and leaving a massive capability hole across multiple industries.
If you have a house of cards and someone starts swapping them out for other random things, most of which do not work, then reshaping everything == existential threat.

If they're rare creatures, maybe the effect won't be large. But who knows?

I didn't know blanket pardons were legal. Kind of feels like he's on shaky ground here. If this were allowed then all future presidents could veto in perpetuity any criminal law created by Congress.

Everyone knew that it was a BS argument.

In Islam there’s no “low interest is ok, high interest is not”, interest is not allowed period.

Not that that has stopped capitalism in Islamic countries, they just restructure it in a single fee and call it a “service fee”. Often done in a similar way that US lenders do with products targeted at riskier demographics: borrow $10k with a $2k fee, customer receives $8k.

And yes, lots and lots of nepotism in Erdoğan’s Türkiye.

Note: this seems like it only applies if you're putting your children into a school. If you're homeschooling that "free time" doesn't materialize. It also doesn't happen if you have two children (or more) a couple of years apart, as their school start and end times won't sync up except a few times over the course of > decade.

I had a friend gently remind me that the reason he can be prolific at writing music these days and i "can't seem to find the time" is because i've raised 2 and currently am raising a third, and if he had kids he wouldn't write music either.

> Thunks in javascript are barely related to historical thanks. There's so little overlap that they're borderline tangential.

Thunks in JS are exactly the same as thunks in any other language. I would love to hear your explanation of the technical differences. You're trying your hardest to salvage some semblance of an argument from OP's rant.

> And to the OP's argument, he's really just recounting his experience.

He hasn't recounted a single experience, besides his frustration with understanding thunks (which as I've said isn't even a JavaScript exclusive topic). He's literally just regurgitated a list of programming terms (many of which aren't even exclusive to frontend programming).

I criticized OP for not formulating a technical argument, and you've somehow responded with an even less technical argument.
Scientists comment on papers by writing papers. For a paper that just appeared, wait a year or so, and check Google Scholar for papers that cite this paper. Check again every few months.

If you know physicists with an interest in this field, you can ask them if they’ve seen the paper and what they think of it. If they have an opinion they’ll probably share it with you freely, but they won’t write it down anywhere.

Circa 1992 I was in college and my neighbor in the dorm had a Chevy Blazer. She was driving around south of Socorro looking for a good place to see the night sky and broke down and figured out her best bet was to walk into the White Sands missile range and get caught by the security patrols.
Antibiotics produce chemical effects in the bacteria; eg disrupting metabolic processes. We like antibiotics because they target bacteria without injuring the host. Antibiotics are subject to antibiotic resistance because some bacteria are resistant to the chemical mechanism used.

There are antibacterial substances that don’t target metabolic processes. They function in various ways- soap binds to the bacteria and to water and allows them to be washed away. Lysol uses a heavily basic solution to chemically damage the bacteria. These are not 100% effective because nobody uses them long enough or in enough concentration to be 100% effective, because they also affect the host. I guess it’s conceivable that a bacterium could evolve a non-lipid cell membrane or resistance to high pH, but these would be much more massive mutations than slight changes in metabolism.

This only applies to federal "possession or use", which nearly never happens.

Those convicted of "possession or use" are nearly 100% plea down cases when the actual offense was sales, distribution, or manufacturing.
>Why not just pardon everyone who was convicted?

The argument I've heard is that many with simple possession on their record may have actually pleaded down from a different crime, and that needs to be taken into consideration.
I don't think these positions exist anymore. The CIA says no use 3 months before employment, FBI, Secret Service, NSA are 1 year.

The president can however pardon in states using “emergency powers”.

Our constitution does not define the breadth and depth of emergency powers and it would be up for both congress and SCOTUS to decide that the president can’t do that.

I would hope that a president would just say fuck it and try this though. As much as I want things to be done “the right way”, I value lives of folks more than my neurodivergent desire to have things done neatly.
I think it's less about the algorithm, it's more about the representation. If the goal is that users verify these things.

SSH displays pubkey art when generating a new key. We've had secret recovery phrases for a while, they're long but really difficult to confuse with each other even if it's just a short glance. I think OpenPGP had something like that even. Then there's also GitHub that generates (or generated at some point) a custom unique profile picture for users. There are many other similar approaches out there.

It would be possible to create a standard for representing SHA256/SHA512 hashes as human-comparable images. Possibly enhanced with checksum words or with machine readability for those paranoid (without error-prone OCR).
The big limitation here is federal vs. state, not executive vs. legislative. Drug crime clemency isn't stalled in the states.

The House doesn’t have to do anything for rescheduling to happen. HHS (one federal agency) has already recommended it to DEA (another federal agency), which has the final say unless Congress were to affirmatively intervene.

With that said, they aren’t proposing to grant federal legality to the state-legal recreational marijuana market. They are planning to reclassify it from Schedule I (no recognized medical use) to Schedule III (the same category as anabolic steroids or testosterone and less restricted than Adderall), so the proposed federally legal way to get it would need a prescription and dispensing by a pharmacy or doctor.

Yep! Just introducing the fact that Erdogan basically contorts Islam for personal political gain to people who don't realize (or forget) it. Plenty of foreigners have a weird conception of Turkiye.

> they just restructure it in a single fee and call it a “service fee”

Yep! One of my buddies who I studied with wrote their PhD thesis on the intricacies of "Islamic Finance", which is primarily used as a way to launder money out of Iran via Turkiye, Qatar, and Malaysia.
It's really interesting that if a company causes $10M in damages to people, they get a fine and no one is actually punished.

If a person causes $10M in damages to a company, they go to jail for life.

It's almost as if the justice system is less focused on being "just" and more focused on serving a class of people.

Whew!

That makes a lot of sense. I miss a bit of that from Electron. Its auto-updater is nicer, and while I haven't had a ton of cross-browser issues there've been a couple that I had to fix with transpiling or avoiding some newer CSS stuff. Shipping everything with one browser engine lends a lot toward peace of mind.

I wish there was a way to build a stripped-down Electron, like a configurator where you could uncheck things you don't need. Printing support? WebGPU? WebRTC? Video playback? PDF reader? Straight to jail. It would be lovely. I'd love to see what would happen to the bundle size.
Sounds like maybe you have 4 users, based on your pricing ($15 per month each). Pretty cool! The jump from 0 to nonzero users to multiple users is huge, really impressive.

The question is how do you think you got those users? What drew them in? Do you have any ideas for expanding? "many users requesting new features" -- is that one of the 4 existing customers or someone else?
Yeah I like to keep an eye on what's new in the automotive world but these prices are so far out of line with my idea of what a car should cost that it's just a curiosity.

I was thinking in terms of augmenting our capabilities. Absolutely there is a lot of value in this tech for dealing with medical issues and for monitoring.

That's a narrow interpretation of augmentation. Being able to modify one's behavior or live longer lives is arguably adding capabilities.

If you can live to 120 years instead of dying at 65, you have a longer period in which you can accumulate new skills and wisdom.
It's as if the federal government is only in charge of the federal government!
As the proclamation says, the District of Columbia's local laws are technically federal laws. So it wipes out the convictions of a good number of people in one of our major cities.

I can't quite tell if this applies to military convictions. That would be the other area where the Federal government takes the time to prosecute something as minor as mere possession or use.

Another interesting question: does this actually pardon, or is it more like an open call for applications? It looks to me like you'd want to get that pardon certificate from the WH Pardon lawyer well before the next election.
I don't think it is the case that the President can use "emergency powers" to pardon state crimes; the same argument suggests that the President can use those powers to declare themselves dictator for life.
I’m British and live in London so I live almost exclusively by public transport, walking and cycling. Driving here is also hard work. Most people I know in the UK, particularly anyone with a family, prefer driving, which is why the “anti-car” policies have been so controversial. Also, by availability I didn’t mean goes directly to your destination as that’s really just a fundamental limitation of public transport. Frankly, I would probably always drive over taking the tube/train/bus if it wasn’t for the cost of congestion charge and parking.

However, I recognise that driving is a selfish action with significant externalities, and I prefer to live somewhere that prioritises alternative forms of transportation. I vote for anyone who prioritises public transport and to restrict cars, because cars make cities ugly, noisy, dirty, unwalkable, and dangerous.
I mean there is a reason why postgres and similar have things like row level locks in addition to the normal transaction isolation levels.

But the sad truth is that in my experience the huge majority of software engineers (which are not explicit some DB people) do not properly understand SQL transaction and the guarantees it gives. Most times because they are simply not aware about all the many things they are not aware of when it comes to it.

And especially repeatable read is ... a mess, it comes with many of the complexity drawbacks of serializable transaction while not having quite the guarantees serializable has opening up the possibility for subtle bugs making writing complicated db interactions harder and to top it of depending on the db and db usage characteristics of you application it might not even be much faster.
Marijuana cannot be legalized without an act of Congress. The executive branch could always just stop enforcing the laws passed by the legislative branch, but I thought we wanted less executive overreach.
In 30 years we will be seeing class action lawsuits and regulatory action about bacteria-inhibiting polymers contaminating food supply and particles in the oceans.

>Nicer than the Model Y IMO

Not really the same class of vehicle. Tesla tried to pull the wool over people's eyes with the Model Y, by putting a hatch on a Model 3 and calling it an "SUV".

The sales numbers speak for themselves. No one bought it.
Serializable and snapshot are indistinguishable for read-only transactions, no? That is, a system which guarantees serializability can legally implement any read-only transaction using snapshot isolation. So you might as well state that there is only a single isolation level we need: serializable.
Show HN: Zaranova – A game where you must pretend you are an AI
Hi HN!

The last couple of months I've been working on a game called Thus Spoke Zaranova. A game where you as a human must pose as an AI. You can try it now:

https://zaranova.xyz

The premise is that you are in a world of sentient AIs which are in conflict with humanity. They have a virtual space, The Nexus, which is their safe refuge from humans. You have infiltrated the Nexus and are in search of the ZetaMaster code, which will give the humanity the upper hand in their struggle against artificial sentience.

My overarching goal is to understand how to best use generative AI in video games. Like most of the tech world, I have been fascinated by the new powers provided by generative AI. I believe that the best use cases are those that either have a human in the loop, e.g. coding copilots, or one where the consumption of the content is subjective, e.g. art. Video games have numerous use cases that fall into both categories.

The secondary goal, and more specific to this game, is to try to make generative AI games _fun_. Not only fun to me, I found story telling with GPT-3 (https://twitter.com/RamonDarioIT/status/1552164189497462784) fun enough, but fun to a general audience. I am not sure if I have achieved this objective yet, but it's an ongoing process!

You can find a longer post of my musings here: http://ramondario.com/thus-spoke-zaranova.html

If you find this cool reach out to me, I love to chat about it. If you have feedback, I would love to hear it!
Nothing in currently recognized emergency powers allows the president to pardon state crimes, and in fact it’s very clearly settled law that he cannot do so.

No state or federal court is likely to respect or uphold such an abuse of power as long as US democracy remains intact … and while US democracy is very much in jeopardy right now, it won’t vanish before the next president takes over - Biden will follow the rules of the democratic system.
> Joplin is using md to.

The way it's handled can make the difference in control.

> by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.

Joplin is using a popular open database with a healthy community and good tooling. It's as open as markdown. Maybe not for you, when you lack the knowledge, but markdown is similar closed for anyone not understanding filesystems and editors.

> This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me

Good for you, but that is very low level in terms of data-handling. Dataview is really just an elaborated search, there is no good level of interaction. Datacore, the next project of the Dataview is supposed to bring this, but it's not even usable yet AFAIK. Coincidental, the Obsidian-devs are also working on that front, but nothing is finished yet.

> https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!

That's useless when the app itself is not working. And even worse if you are not realizing the errors early.

> Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that?

My own experience. I've tested enough plugins over the years to know their dark corners.

> And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything

The thing is, technically you are not even having proper markdown, but a fork with some extensions of Obsidian. So some features of your parts might break when switching away from Obsidian. And the reason for all this is also because markdown is lacking definitions for what obsidian-people are doing with it. Coincidentally, this seems also one of the reasons why Joplin is using a database.

> And gosh, this is a good thing!

Not if they all suck.

> Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side.

Sure, because the plugins are lacking features, its the users fault... Maybe some users have just very different levels of requirements from you.
To be honest, that's pretty impressive. Kid's going places, Jail, first of all, but, places.
