You do realize that this is an extremely complicated exploit which is not being used on the average user, right?

And being open source hasn’t prevented Android from being much more vulnerable to these kinds of exploits.
Well, to be fair they tried and failed to reproduce the corruption that was reported. While I agree that I'm not ready to dive into bcachefs, I'm not exactly swayed by this bug report.

Serious question: I have a serious case of OCD where I keep trying to remember things verbatim (the verbatim part is the OCD). Naturally there are a bunch of checking and repeating in trying to do so.

I have been considering the idea of using a similar app to this (or rewind.ai), but I have the concern that it might aggravate my situation. Just imaging my checking self watching 12 hours of video footage already gave me chill.

I would appreciate if anyone with a related or similar situation can share their experience using those apps. Since this is fairly sensitive, my email is also in the profile if anyone want to contact me directly.

That's fair, I wonder if there are numbers on running costs.

I'm certain nuclear running costs would dwarf solar - I think solar just needs fresh water, cleaning and hardware maintenance (replacing inverters, and such).

Would be interesting to work the running costs into the "$ per realized W" calculation.

I'd also like to see how battery-backed solar compares. I assume the objective would be to solve the intermittency issue, but I am hopeful it would increase the capacity factor as well.

Another thing that's interesting to consider is multi-purpose energy utilization you get with nuclear - like desalination and hydrogen generation - though the latter is uneconomical because hydrogen produced from fossil fuels is much cheaper.
Fair enough, it could be but I'm not sure it has to be in any way...
The problem with giving a pass to volunteer work and not to commercial activity is that there is a lot of potential for loopholes. Like by having a nonprofit tied to a for-profit company.

Getting the spirit of the law into writing is tricky, and it will most likely improve over time. Closing loopholes and making exceptions when merited.

There is enough Uranium on the planet for a few centuries. Make it a few millennia if you breed it, and lots and lots of millennia if you expand your reactors to use other fuels.

I am new to the CL world and currently only dabble in my (unfortunately limited) free time. I would love an example of how and when you are using this integration with quickfix list in the context of your projects. It would help someone more green like myself better grasp the utility.

TBF there is a lot of things “free of charge” connected to commercial activity, e.g. Android, .NET Core, MongoDb, ElasticSearch, even RedHat with Linux …

Antibiotics harm the host as well. Giving grandma 4 antibiotics to treat a typical case of pneumonia goes against “do no harm”. Not to mention the added cost of prescribing more antibiotics.

When we can safely give multiple therapies without harming the patient, we do it. Standard HIV treatment uses 4 different drugs to raise the evolutionary hurdle for the virus.

I'm in a similar position: I'm on Windows and have a mouse that supports multiple Bluetooth connections and can be made to switch between computers with the Mouse and Keyboard Center but the keyboard only connects to one computer at a time so I'm stuck using two identical keyboards and moving them around physically.

Also another pet peeve with M&KC is that it will also switch when the other computer is off, which happens more often than I'd like and leaves the mouse "stranded" (forcing me to turn it over and press the Bluetooth button to cycle through the three channels).

I would say language is necessarily discrete, or digital. Slime molds communicate in analog.
I'm pretty sure I heard it in either an LTT or Gamer's Nexus video - most cheap switches simulate unplugging the cable from one computer and then plugging it into the other, so the monitor has to detect the new computer and negotiate and etc, usually takes a couple seconds for your desktop to appear. The Level1Techs one maintains an independent signal to each computer so that the monitor can start receiving a video stream immediately.
There are problems of course, but they end up with higher levels of education despite that. If a country was serious about education, they could just make it work. I guess having to balance too many competing interests weakens it. We don't want extreme lifetime poverty for school dropouts either, which might be part of what's needed to motivate success.
I dunno, you could take it up with the author, I suppose. Note, though, that the article is about "the bare minimum you can get away with."

Except that's demonstrably false. Many (most?) subs use nuclear propulsion, and there are civilian ships that use nuclear propulsion. The NS Savannah was operated successfully for a decade [1], and several Russian ice breakers for even longer than that.

The fact that organization with the explicit goal of lobbying for renewables [2] prefers green fuel does not make it the optimal choice. It's the optimal choice to advance that group's goal of promoting green fuel, because nuclear power at scale is a competition risk for wind and solar

Ask HN: Why does cynicism rule the internet?
From what I can tell the internet has always had a general sensibility of cynicism.

And if you want to be upvoted/agreed with a lot you should post a cynical

It seems that cynicism is seen as intelligence and optimism is seen as naivity.

Yet there is no concept of naive cynicism

As a native English speaker: I'm curious why not? There are certainly other words and phrases which could fit just as well (concerned, confused, find incomprehensible, etc) but intimidated seems just as fine as any.

It almost sounds as if you see a way to take this in a negative connotation though?

Better not use biased opinion pieces, when there numbers from government sources (US, but eho cares):

Variable cost (same as above):

OpenAI Cookbooks
> there really is no "quantum safe" things yet

What about, e.g., OpenSSH's post-quantum key exchange sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com?
I've used SpinalHDL extensively for hobby projects, which is a close cousin of Chisel. The way it works there is by defining ClockDomain "areas" that contains logic for a particular clock/reset.

Signals can freely travel between different such areas, but unless you explicitly mark those signals as asynchronous, the Verilog code generator will fail with cross-domain clock violations. It's amazing.

Here's an example of a clock domain crossing APB bridge: https://github.com/tomverbeure/panologic-g2/blob/ulpi/spinal....

The module object takes the 2 domains as instantiation parameters: https://github.com/tomverbeure/panologic-g2/blob/9225b86011a...

Here's the area with the logic that lives in the source APB clock domain: https://github.com/tomverbeure/panologic-g2/blob/9225b86011a...

Here is the destination APB clock domain logic: https://github.com/tomverbeure/panologic-g2/blob/9225b86011a...

And this is the pulse synchronizer between them: https://github.com/tomverbeure/panologic-g2/blob/9225b86011a...

You can actually consume a _lot_ of cyanide without negative consequences, your body can detoxify it easily in small quantities. You can dissolve a lethal dose of cyanide in a bottle of water, and you'll be fine if you drink it in small sips over the course of a day.

Cyanide is so toxic because it has a high affinity for iron ions, so it deactivates iron-containing enzymes that are crucial for respiration. But in ferrocyanide it is _already_ combined with iron.

Ferrocyanide compounds like Prussian blue are even sometimes used as an antidotes for heavy metal poisoning.

As much as I dislike the current AI hype, a local on-machine AI model that can read/interpret videos/thousands of images (basically a recording of screen time combined with video/audio/handwriting of my everyday life), store it in an indexed format, and project it back to me in an easy to understand/quickly digestible format would be a godsend I'd invest a lot of money into (provided false positives were close to zero)

As a rule, if you want something to get "more respect" in the business world, find a good way to tie it to business outcomes. That means instrumentation, and statistical modeling (because people only complain about these things when the relationship is hazy, indirect).
> Floaters are commonly caused by a (mostly) benign aging phenomenon called posterior vitreous detachment, where the vitriol gel liquefies as a person ages.

I've had floaters since I was 18. A couple of years ago at 59 all of the sudden I had a huge increase in floaters accompanied by flashes in the left eye. I was sure I was having a retinal detachment. Got into an eye doc right away and she said told me it was the vitreous detachment and is something that happens normally at my age. It went on for several months with the flashing and floaters. The right eye followed suit about 6 months later. I had no idea that this was something that happens to pretty much everyone around age 60. Apparently, though, a lot of people don't notice it happening.
“If” definitely looks like the right word.

Of course not. The right mix is important.

But honestly, I reached the point where I claim the same "just build it" approach the pro-nuclear crowd is using regardless of data and facta. Especially since I know from a project I was involved in before COVID hit, that green hydrogen produced PV is absolutely feasible and commercially viable. To do so at tue scale needed requires political action and subsidies, and the tech has still a lot of room for improvement. I say this is good news.
