I'm a biochemist and I completely disagree with your take.

There are very few situations where prescribing methamphetamine is reasonable. It's a niche drug. Even XR formulations of Adderall are considered a blunt instrument compared to more recent alternatives.

The issue is one of trust, integrity, and safety. Pharmacies should not operate like drug dealers.
Ok, yes I do, but I think mega Tsunamies do pile up a bit more?

And the scenario in my head was many impacts in a close area - and the resulting waves then interacting with each other with turbulence.
I've got a somewhat related question:

is there a site that lists and rates the various LLM models of hugginface.co alongside their various applications?
To be fair, I've got plenty of white (or white passing) male friends who also ended up in roles with a shortage of work to do. There's this awkward period between someone being hired, and them being familiar enough with the workplace to actively seek out stuff that needs to be done that leaves a lot of people with very little to do.
Flurry Mobile Analytics will sunset on March 15, 2024

Thank you for your partnership.
Sure! Use a library that deep-clones the object first, leaving the original parameter unchanged! And now it's slower than the original library you're criticising.
Hundreds of thousands of man hours have been spent at the companies he hacked and in the justice system on his behalf. If you were the one whose crypto account he cleared out, or one of the people responsible for cleaning up after him, or even one of the lawyers trying to defend some idiot who tells the court he plans on committing more crimes as soon as he is released you might feel different.

Do you think any of these people wanted to spend their time on this, that otherwise important things weren't delayed and sidelined? Do you think that the people he stole crypto enjoy having to work extra hours to make up for what he stole?

His crimes weren't victimless, and plenty of real people were impacted in serious ways. This wasn't some kid who pushed his computer skills a little too far and went somewhere he shouldn't. He engaged in an international conspiracy to extort millions using stolen data.

There are kids that age who commit murder and other serious crimes, and they should face consequences just like he is. But the grand majority of kids that age get through life without committing any serious crime at all.
Renting is fragile. The landlord decides how long you may stay. Ownership means being in control. I store things I like on my hard drives so I don't lose them when someone else decides it should no longer be available on the Internet .
Also affects email delivery. There are common mail rules to score mail coming from domains less than X days old. I had an issue with that this week.

You have MANY of them. SMS/MMS and Matrix spring to mind immediately. Mastodon qualifies. You can use RCS today if your carrier has an app like Verizon's Message+. If you want to go all retro, IRC.

That's ignoring the productized implementations all over the place - Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Slack, Discord, and so on. MSN and ICQ are still running.
If UI is chugging for on the order of seconds for seemingly trivial operations, I think just saying it's "badly optimized" is like saying that it's a bit of a walk from my place to Costa Rica. It could be ordered of magnitude faster and still true.
Tesla wants government subsidies to build superchargers, that's the reason they pushed for NACS to become a standard (the subsidies require the chargers use a standard - right now they're doing the Magic Dock but that's an ugly hack they probably want to avoid). The rules for those subsidies will require they don't play games with who can use them.
They are very similar, but the euphoria with Adderall is significantly less than with meth or other speed you'd buy on the street. For some people meth might be an effective substitute, but I think most people would find the high and the side-effects too distracting. Plus, that euphoric high increases the likelihood of abuse and addiction.

I'd add that the people I've known who did a lot of meth tended to have physical health issues and looked like shit, which was not the case with the people I've know who abused Adderall.
I've also seen template hierarchies so deep it was a major effort trying to figure out which template did anything besides forward to another template.
>However, in budget-constraint countries without an omnipresent tax collection capacity, that depends on financing it by collecting a fee from known brands using plastic packaging. Lobbyists from well-known international brands opposed the laws to protect margins.

This is very much the answer. The producers of a product must pay the *full cost, including all externalities,* of recycling it. This will incenctivise them to e.g. find packaging which is easier to recycle. Otherwise why bother? Wrap things in plastic inside of paper inside of plastic inside of cardboard, who cares, it's dirt cheap and you don't have to pay for the harmful effects of its improper disposal!
If it's free with ads is it really a sale?
Underrepresented Racial Minority. Basically Black, Latin, or Native American. The last is a bit hand-wavy because there's huge rates of intermarriage in Native families, and many ethnically identify as white.

Ideally I'd prefer if there was some mechanism to actually examine people's backgrounds. I'm Latin myself, but had educated parents, went to a top 10 school, and basically not disadvantaged in any way. But aggregate disparities do exist and I see reason to take action on them.
"soft landing"

After three years of constant inflation and shrinkflation on the majority of products you buy?

- a family size of cookies used to be 17.2oz, its now 14.6oz for the same price

- laundry detergent scent enhancer - 13oz to 10oz and increased in price

- a pack of frozen burritos went from 20 items to 18 for the same price

- baby wipes in a smaller sized package and they increased in price

- OJ went from a half gallon (64oz) to under a half gallon (59oz) for the same price

- many milk manufacturers have trimmed down their half gallon to slightly under a half gallon while keeping the price the same.

- snack crackers like wheat thins went from a pound for a family sized box to 14oz

Color me skeptical. I've seen this movie before it always ends in a painful recession.
I'm asking why because I don't understand and I would like to understand your perspective. With my current understanding, that seems like a strict downgrade.
are you comparing a link aggregator to a walled garden of a social media platform? link aggregators are pretty much the last vestiges of the old internet. only, now, we get to comment about the links as well.
Unlike google play, malls don't prevent their visitors to buy the same goods from stores outside the malls. Google play protect is known to remove apps installed from another source (e.g. fdroid) if the app is also available from google play: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37879935
Movements pretty tight in our websockets:

https://gooberdash.winterpixel.io/

It's all about the client side prediction & roll back networking algorithm. Our game states end up being ~1kb at 30hz, which typically fits into a single packet, so websockets aren't terrible. An unreliable protocol would be better, of course.
I didn't say "from 50 countries".

I think that generally the accepted parse is the greedy one where modifiers are as close to their objects as possible. So "Banned weed killer" gets compressed to an object X. That leaves us with "US Workers say X in 50 countries is giving them Parkinson's". How would you interpret that?
Being careless with your Apple ID credentials, having malware on your outdated iOS device or the computer you sync your iPhone to (note: they can sync wirelessly and in the background now, so it doesn't have to be an explicit action) can result in the same outcome - your messages silently going to an attacker.

Either way, it should be up to the user to decide what they want to do with their messages and how much security they attach to them. After all, even in case of a fully bulletproof solution that would even prevent screenshots, the user is still free to read their messages out loud in a public place or in reach of a recording device.

Also, again, Beeper Mini (different from Beeper Cloud, which is not E2E compatible) operates entirely on-device - no message data transits through Beeper's infrastructure. There's an optional cloud component to enable real-time push notifications but even in that case I believe their server merely relays data and doesn't have the decryption keys.
oh dear god I saw the word yamlscript and closed the tab instinctually lol
Only in Wyoming where, unlike Texas, truckers have the sense to stay to the right. Also, there is de facto no speed limit there because there are only a handful of WSTs. I suggest avoiding Wyoming <-> Colorado unless you have nose plugs or no sense of smell.
One can also view PDF pages side by side, which works pretty well with a 4K monitor.
> It genuinely doesn't make any sense to me

I think it depends on how much of the population have an anti-Android bias. If it's 10% sure let's not care about that at all. If it's 50%, it starts resulting in plenty of lost contact opportunities.

No idea how much it's a thing in the US; in Europe I would think nobody cares, and I sure hope that the ratio is not above 10% in the US.
The Channel Tunnel was attempted in the 1800s and failed. A hundred years later they tried again and succeeded. So...
I just tested saving https://browse.arxiv.org/html/2312.12451v1 to disk using Chrome, transferring it to my Android phone, and opening it on the phone. Results:

1. Saving as "Webpage, Single File" (.mhtml): Neither Firefox nor Chrome even showed up in the list of available apps to open it.

2. Saving as "Webpage, Complete": Opened in Chrome but images were broken. Also very difficult to open with the default file browser because it uses a flat folder view and the sidecar folder pollutes the file list.

I was hoping this would work, perhaps you will have different findings. I agree that HTML is the superior format in theory but usability in practice is often lacking. I'm resigned to using both depending on context.
No. That's like saying methanol is basically ethanol. Sure they are chemically similar, but the differences are distinct and very important.
The first use of the term "Nazi" by the National Socialists occurred in 1926 in a publication by Joseph Goebbels called Der Nazi-Sozi ["The Nazi-Sozi"]. In Goebbels' pamphlet, the word "Nazi" only appears when linked with the word "Sozi" as an abbreviation of "National Socialism".

After the NSDAP's rise to power in the 1930s, the use of the term "Nazi" by itself or in terms such as "Nazi Germany", "Nazi regime", and so on was popularised by German exiles outside the country, but not in Germany.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism

The Gestapo and SS were organs carrying out Nazi policy. Nazi members were in Holland and elsewhere making the public statements about how people were to behave and what minorities were to report for transport and reeducation, etc.

The timeline here works.
I prefer the pdf version, mostly. I can annotate it on the side both in print and digitally with my iPad. I can also invert colors in pdf readers to get some kind of “dark mode” easily.

The html version is wasting a lot of space on the right side and the color scheme is awful (dark grey on a brown background, seriously? How is that any better? Edit: disabling dark mode yields a better reading experience wrt color scheme). Also, somehow links to references make another http request and have no backlink?

The html version could make sense if it had more dynamic functionalities: change fonts/line spacing, toggle color schemes, maybe a mini map or some other navigational tool? Also, some kind of support for highlighting and/or annotating?
That cannot operate in wind or inclement weather.
You seem to think that a choice of two things isn't a choice. If/when Firefox disappears and you only have chrome, that is what I would call not having a choice.

To repeat: if you can choose between two things then you've got a choice.
That's denoisimg, that's a low light image and with such a small sensor it has to denoise hard cause it's pushing that sensor hard.

The white label may appear sharper because white reflects more light back...so higher contrast and less obvious noise.

Contrast is good for denoising algos afaict, textured surfaces are horrendous cause...you can't tell what's noise in the texture so you just gotta do your best.

Every phone will create shots like this in low light/indoors.
...which leads to yet another paradoxical situation: 80-90%+ of Mozilla's yearly revenue comes from google [0]. they keep firefox afloat (with 3% market share) with the sole purpose of avoiding antitrust action vs. chrome. IMHO if Firefox starts gaining traction big G takes the gloves off and employs different tactics to protect the vertical integration.

As mentioned by a sibling comment Google will be sued for antitrust reasons if they remove third party cookies as some other ad businesses rely on them. So in order to remove third party cookies Google must provide an alternative for other advertisers to use instead.
That's the thing. None of this is remotely settled, the legal system is still figuring out what the book says. Various courts at various levels have affirmed and vacated all sorts of decisions. The amount of people overconfidently declaring this is an open book shut book case are living in cloud cuckoo land.

I sure as hell don't know how this will play out, and neither can anyone with any massive degree of certainty. Hacker News opinion-passive-aggressively-stated-as-fact syndrome strikes again.
This is great. I've seen many discussions of efficiency in R in stats and biology circles over the years but I think this is the first time I've seen something as simple as copy-on-write and treating dataframe columns as individual lists mentioned. I'd be interested in how much faster it was.
"Theres a small custom function I use for this which has much better performance."

Can you enlighten us?

JSON.parse and stringify, or customly copying what is needed? (the fastest solution to my knowledge)
Tools like SPF and DKIM exist now for mail servers to double-check that the email originates from a machine which is authorized to generate email for that domain.

If a message arrived and such settings aren't properly configured, many email providers will reject the message on the assumption that it's malicious.
Edit: ah, right, the article says the same thing.

This will still break DKIM (no signing for the fake second message, and even the first message's signature is going to be corrupt?), so a restrictive DMARC policy (p=reject; adkim=s) should mitigate this even if the server software is vulnerable, right?

And if someone tries to force a server to send email for an unauthorized source (e.g. make mail.example.org send a bogus mail for ycombinator.com) - well, this sucks in terms of potentially having to get the vulnerable host out of DNSBLs, but email is still not gonna get through (because of SPF) and I hope RBLs are gonna have a bit relaxed attitude towards this in the next few weeks?

(I don't seriously believe someone's not checking SPF, DKIM or DMARC those days - they're basically three cornerstones of modern mail server auth)

SSSH! Stop making sense doing things the easy, conventional, cost-efficient way. It must be completely new, expensive, unproven, and different!
Fair enough, its always better to analyze it yourself and check the validity of any particular research or criticism of such research. Opinions in science arent really useful unless they are weakly held and based on the evidence. If you have any response to the main points i posted above feel free to post. As i said i have pretty much zero opinions on this, and have only looked at it very briefly.

My sister, though, had been in her role for 2+ years but still only had work to keep her busy maybe 30% of the time. Similar situation with one of my past girlfriends. These were both Product Managers - I think it's less of an issue for software developers, since there's always a backlog to hack away at.

As I said earlier though, the problem with batteries is they're a PITA to extinguish if they catch fire and you don't want to have that problem deep underground unless you plan to flood entire parts of the tunnel (which brings its own problems not even considering cleanup itself).

As any emergency worker will tell you, the problem with batteries compared to ICE engines is that if the battery is on fire it doesn't just stop once you extinguish it. You need to keep at it until it has cooled down sufficiently to prevent spontaneous reignition and that takes a while. Plus the entire time it burns it generates large amounts of toxic fumes.

Compare that to an electric line that just needs to transmit electricity and just stops if you shut it off. Yeah, ozone accumulation is a problem but so is heat so you'll need some venting anyway (plus you probably want the air in the tunnels to be breathable because we're humans after all).
Reduced but not abandoned, that's the difference. My wife works part time hours since since the birth of our son, but she would never quit her job entirely and that dynamic will change substantially once he's old enough to start school.

Not sure exactly which way round you are asking -- should requests be tied to the person or be generic?

In the HomePod settings there is a section for "Personal Requests". When enabled, adding reminders will then go to the device / account of the person speaking. I'm not sure what the behavior is when set to off. You can change the setting for each HomePod.
For the most part, approximating symbolic AI with LLMs is way more powerful than approximating LLMs with symbolic AI. There may be more power still in keeping the "logic" inside fuzzy weights instead of complicating things by merging two paradigms.

Kurtaj has been charged with three counts of blackmail, two counts of fraud, and six breaches of the Computer Misuse Act.

You keep saying that he was given a life sentence. He has not. He has been ordered to live in a hospital until he is deemed by a professional to no longer be a danger to himself.
No.

Adderall is normally prescribed in the XR formulation (meaning it's an extended/slow release capsule), and has amphetamine as the active ingredient.

Methamphetamine is a different molecule altogether, and typically it's not packaged in slow-release capsules.

Yes, methamphetamine is structurally related to amphetamine, but you shouldn't make the mistake to think they are interchangeable. Very often the difference between two very similar molecules is the difference between life and death (for a classic example, look up the two enantiomers of thalidomide).

> Quicken apparently doesn't care, Apple does.

I think you're missing the point GP is making, and I think it's an interesting one: There's lots of precedent for offering products and services interoperating with an "uncooperative" third party (in this case, Quicken scraping banks' websites to import their customers' transactions).

Sometimes such “forced” interoperability is illegal, sometimes it's the opposite and the a regulator or legislator recognizes it as an important public good, and very often (such as here) there is no precedent and we know absolutely nothing about the legality. We can have our educated guesses, but that's it.

I'd personally be very curious in seeing a lawsuit; it seems like important precedent to have with all the FUD going around, here and elsewhere.
