I think the trick here is to avoid having sugar nearby and to fill your pantry with healthy alternatives. Avoid purchasing sugar laden foods from the supermarket and opt for healthy choices, so the only foods to snack on within your home are fruit and nuts. Unfortunately if you have roommates or a family this requires everyone in the household to opt in, but it makes it easy to avoid sugar. You only need to exercise restraint when buying food at the supermarket once or twice a week, instead of every day.

If you follow this advice, then your only option to get sugar is to leave your house to get it, which discourages its use because of the extra burden to procure it. Also, this trip will give your forebrain extra time to kick in and abort the quest to fulfill your cravings.

Unfortunately if you go into the office and they have a bunch of sugary stuff around (m&ms, candy bars, etc) then your only choice is to avoid wherever that stuff is stored. You could try moving where you sit to another floor or farther away from the office pantry.
I’m sure this will get downvoted but you might also have depression or PTSD. Talk to your doctor about Ketamine treatment for depression and look into MDMA for PTSD. Both drugs can be abused but can also be extremely effective at treating the above conditions.

No, developing C# on Linux has been exactly the same as on windows for a very long time. Not since Framework and Core were separate things.

The modern C# Linux experience is indistinguishable from Windows.

When I'm in the office, I use Windows, when I work from home it's on Linux. Same projects, no problems.

It would be pretty weird to ignore the existence of smartphones when discussing LPDDR, since they probably account for most of the volume of LPDDR sold. Lots of smartphone SoCs, all of Apple's laptop SoCs, and that one Intel custom job for Asus last year have LPDDR in-package, while the rest of the x86 systems with LPDDR have it on the motherboard at similar distances from the processor as GDDR.
It's kind of an awful experience though? Do people actually want their videos to follow them? If I'm navigating away it's because I'm done, it actually makes me kind of angry that the video chases me.

That was my first reaction to the headline too.
I relate so much with your writing (both quitting and your writing style), thanks for sharing.

For me, this habit of breaking habits is based mostly on my curiosity about how my mind works and the fear of losing control.

I know that I easily get addicted to pleasure, so I quickly cut habits from my life when I have the first glimpse of losing control of it.

Lately I’ve been trying to quit this “all or nothing” mentality and adopt a more balanced mentality, where I allow myself to enjoy a cup of coffee or chocolate, within the amounts where I feel acceptable. It is not easy, but having compassion with myself has helped me not stress when going over the “limit” and also to stick with good habits when I need.

And as you mentioned, it is so easy to make this topic about me. Sorry about that!
Let me make sure I understand what you're putting out here.

Google's web site, YouTube, which they have demonstrably gimped in Firefox at times, has a slightly nicer "window to full screen" transition in Chrome (a Google browser) than Firefox.

I just compared it on Windows (Core i5 13400 64GB, AMD 6600, 1080p) in FF versus Chrome and the transition is.... I don't know, a hair faster on Chrome? I don't even know what is "janky" about the Firefox version. I might even say it looks a little nicer in Firefox because of that fade.

If I was to describe what I'm feeling right now, I think "exasperation" would be the closest word but that doesn't really begin to describe how frustrating that sort of "evidence" for Chrome's superiority is.

I don't have a Linux desktop environment at the moment to compare the rest.

Is this a "right-v-left" dichotomy really? secondly, different kinds of harm are not directly comparable, more so for their sources.
Yeah what's up with that. Already now many service providers like payment processor or online brokerage requests me to upload "a selfie" holding sheet of paper with something written on it, or holding my document. How they arrived to the conclusion that it's acceptable?!
C# hasn't been tied to Windows for a very long time. It works just the same on Linux.

LLMs Are an Index into the Library of Babel
The essential ingredient for the origin of life is a source of energy.

The use of solar energy did not become possible until at least a few hundred million years after the appearance of life, perhaps only after more than a billion years, because the trans-membrane ionic pumps powered by solar light are extremely complex structures that could not have been created out of non-living substances.

The only known energy source that can cause the appearance of life is the reaction between dihydrogen (elemental hydrogen) and carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide exists in huge quantities everywhere on any planet without living beings (Earth is an anomaly, because most of the original carbon dioxide has been reduced and incorporated in living matter), so what is necessary for the appearance of life is a source of free dihydrogen. A gradient of ionic concentration in water is also helpful.

Such conditions are present where either volcanic gases are released in water or in the so called alkaline vents, where rocks rich in iron are oxidized by water, releasing the hydrogen from water as dihydrogen (this is the "serpentinization" mentioned in the parent article).

Both kinds of conditions are more typical for certain places on the bottom of the ocean, but they can be also encountered under ground, with the condition that there must be water infiltrated through the rocks, without water there is no source of free dihydrogen.
Oh so you're doing me a favor? That's great but the only favor I need from you is to tell your friends about the panoptic computronium cathedral.

> The far right is going hard against porn in multiple countries right now. I don’t agree but I get where they’re coming from.

It's none of their business though. Porn doesn't harm people. And they're not getting rid of it anyway. Just like nobody's getting rid of torrents.

I think the line of thinking is:

1. Minors will attempt to access porn sites

2. They will be faced with the picture validation

3. Some of them will try it

4. They will theoretically fail the validation, but the porn site will still be required to keep the data from the attempt.
>The entire point of this is to not encode the board state!

I am not sure about this. From the article "The 50M parameter model played at 1300 ELO with 99.8% of its moves being legal within one day of training."

I thought that the experiment was how well the model will perform, given that it's reward function is to predict text, rather than checkmate. Leela, Alpha0 their reward function is to win the game, checkmate or capture pieces. Also it goes without saying that Leela, Alpha0 cannot make illegal moves.

The experiment does not need to include the whole board position if that's a problem, if that's an important point of interest. It could encode more information about squares covered by each side for example. See for example this training experiment for Trackmania [1]. There are techniques that the ML algorithm will *never* figure out by itself if this information is not encoded in it's training data.

The point still stands. PGN notation certainly is not a good format if the goal (or one of the goals) of the experiment is to be a good chess player.

To some extent, that would just move the problem around rather than solving it. In the US, the individual States have a lot of control over how healthcare is implemented, as a Constitutional matter. Every time a State looks into eliminating employment-based insurance, rudimentary analysis shows systemic risk due to arbitrage and adverse selection that is nearly impossible to design out of the system legally. Due to fundamental differences in how individual States are governed and funded, and their respective Constitutions, this is a durable feature of trying to change the way the system works (i.e. harmonizing it is infeasible).

The US healthcare system is stuck in a deep local minima. The cost of transitioning to a different equilibrium is so high that it is obviously politically infeasible any most if not all States. I don't like the current system but if there was a viable path to a different model, at least some States would have taken it.

Can confirm, dotnet works great on Linux. We have a lot of dotnet production systems running on Linux and Docker for many years now with zero issues. Also recommend Rider in Linux for development, even our Windows folks prefer it over VS nowadays.

There was also no one way to store information. Some people still had floppy disks, then the smaller hard disks, then CD ROM -- it was all over the place.
There was a fair bit of work stuff in the announcement; I personally am primarily interested in Vision Pro as a monitor replacement. Furthermore I’ve talked to someone who’s used it a few times and they see it’s two use cases as content consumption (like 3D video / experience, not so much gaming) and content authoring (3D/VR video, architecture, and desktop monitor use case)
Hasn't there been a few countries with some sort of digital ID development already? I get the impression the Anglosphere has an anti-ID card tradition so it seems like it's a bit behind in that.

Regulating porn is just stupid. It's never going to work and I don't get its objectives. Porn probably has a negative effect on children, but much less than something like TikTok. I could at least see the sense in banning children from the entire internet or limiting their access in some way (preferable implemented by ISPs rather than individual websites), but trying to specifically stop them from seeing naked people is pointless. Parents can easily control which parts of the internet their kids have access to, and much more effectively than the state can with the added bonus that it doesn't affect people without kids.
Limiting porn exposure for children and early teenagers is probably a good thing, but this is the wrong way to do it, and a weak justification to create a blackmail registry.
> Using this metaphor can imply significant disingenuity: a lack of honesty about one's true belief.

I actually disagree. I think this is the natural state of people, and they come by it honestly. We make decisions emotionally and then justify them rationally. It's just the way we are.

You could maybe say it's a lack of honesty about one's true belief to themselves. But even then it's hard to fault somebody for lack of awareness for something that is very subtle.

Honestly I think pointing out this human tendency and calling it out with examples like this is the best way to combat it. Once people become aware of it, they are more likely to fight it internally.
> EU id

There isn't one. Ireland also doesn't have a national ID program, so effectively for most people their passport or driver's license are the only forms of government ID they _might_ have. But even then it's not mandatory to have either.

Yes, but your response does not invalidate the premise.
> A few years ago a hospital even let a woman with a miscarriage die because they didn't want to intervene.

They were legally unable to intervene, without risking prosecution. Yes, it was entirely insane. And that case was a major reason that the constitution was changed to prevent this ever happening again.

This is 100% nothing to do with Catholicism, just standard moral hand wringing around what might happen to kids.

People most certainly do give a fuck. The ones who are trying to fix it -- and the only ones who have a shot at it -- are held to impossible standards, far beyond what we hold humans to. A handful of accidents, even when they're not actually at fault, is enough to get an entire autonomous driving project shut down.

What we're hearing in this thread, from people who have clearly never done much of anything, is that passenger aviation needs to work exactly the same way. "If it can't be perfect, heads must roll. Surely that will fix it."
You could use the PSC card I suppose. The union of driver license, passport and PSC probably covers most of the country.
> Everywhere else (desktop, mobile etc) the model is SPAs.

> The only reason people distinguish it for web is because of legacy: html + DOM, i.e. Documents.

There’s another key difference: the other model has preinstalled software and most functionality is on trusted clients. If I email you a Word document, you don’t have to download Word from the Office servers to open it, which creates very different trade offs. There’s also a big difference in trust: I don’t need to ask whether I want each web page I open to have access to the data on my computer.

The web’s big selling point was the immediacy of being able open anything quickly and not needing to trust the remote server to run native code on your system (even in the 90s we knew that was a bad idea), so it’s not surprising that there’s so much gravity to its core model. The addition of more app-like abilities is really useful but it’s lead to a certain amount of app-envy where people often pick the cool technical challenge without asking whether they’re working on an app which needs it.
They are so dangerous they can't have video cards, we know beacuse the same people who encouraged western companies to go offshore to China for decades told us so.
I think a lot of the time "SPA" vs "MPA" essentially actually means "does the client largely render it's own HTML" or "does the server render HTML and the client just displays it". Whether it displays that with a full page refresh or by injecting HTML via Javascript does not in practice matter. The idea of using AJAX to render HTML fragments to increase interactivity predates the term "SPA" by about a decade.

That's not really strictly the same thing as what the acronyms SPA and MPA, but in reality, people refer to a Rails application that uses large amounts of Hotwire as a "MPA" (even if it never results in full page refreshes and often doesn't even feel like navigating pages) and things built with tools like React as "SPAs" (even if you're perfectly capable of navigating between pages and getting React rendered by the server until the client takes over routing.

If your definition of "MPA" is "every interaction requires a full page load", it's a pointless discussion, because that's not really the reality of development even with "MPA" frameworks like Rails or Phoenix (I can't really speak to stuff like Laravel, but I'm sure they have an equivalent)

Maybe a good way to think about it is that the fundamental interaction model of frameworks like Rails is that they're built around the concept of the server returning new pages on navigation, and optimize that to provide a better experience, and SPAs are designed around the idea of a single web page visit instantiating an application at which point the client is control of navigation, but they optimize that to provide a better user experience (i.e. server side rendering of pages on first load).
This is false, they're not building a "porn preference register", they're requiring age verification for pornographic websites.

Submitting one's identity documents to access such websites is of course very easily avoided, by simply choosing not to consume pornographic materials online.
Maybe NOT using F5 to lock the user session?
100% agree. As a former airline employee at a major airline, I've given up flying altogether. I've heard the 'but driving to the airport is more dangerous than flying' argument a zillion times. That's not the point. The point is that flying has become incredibly intrusive and uncomfortable and the fact that in addition to being treated like cattle, having to endure the security theatre, the indignity of being rushed around only to sit and wait, cancels/delays, rude people and or belligerent or mentally disturbed flyers, ug... it's just not fun anymore.

THEN add on the fact that there's a one in a million chance your plane may open up and accidentally cast you into the abyss and I say, just give me a car, my snacks, my music, my full seat, and the ability to stop and use the washroom when I want and Im good to drive across the country. Flying bites.

- It will be cheaper when scale
- You have full control of the data since selfhosted
- Easier to extend with custom code

Cons:
- you need to take care of all the hosting, backups, etc
- cant scale to infinity like firebase (but on the other hand when you reach that scale youe firebase bill will be huge anyway)
One great solution for that would be the approach many advanced Markdown editors like Obsidian have: the documents remain usable. You might lose some benefits (the integration between documents in a graph-like structure) that are specific to the tool. Still, your work is preserved in a universal format that anyone can leverage.

Most elements of Nano have widely accepted standards, presumably easy to integrate, so that guarantee should be doable.
I'm afraid the only way to introduce children is by whitelisting. Service by service, website by website, video by video. Giving them a smartphone with WiFi is like filling cabinet next to their bed with cigarettes, snickers bars, and painkiller pills.

I'm pretty libertarian when it comes to things like drugs or sex work, but it's hard for me with porn. Maybe because I've been addicted to it for 20 years at this point so it's personal for me. You can call it a parenting failure or whatever, either way I'm addicted to porn and I think it will stay with me forever simply due to my lifestyle of remote tech worker. Luckily, it's not totally crippling, but it's definitely hampered my development

I don't know what a reasonable solution is. We forbid selling alcohol & cigarettes to people under a certain age because we deem it unhealthy for children's development, but we don't have the tools to do that for internet porn on a societal scale. Is digital ID the right solution here? Is there a better way to do this? The HN mentality is to tear down digital walls, and is it even possible without seriously harming the open web or personal privacy & security?
> Like, why would you ever start when you know perfectly well it is both addictive and bad for you?

Just because something is addictive doesn't necessarily mean that my life overall would be better without it. I drink coffee daily, I smoke and have other vices too, and realize that they're harmful. But I think with moderation, it won't kill you too quickly, and if I really enjoy something, shouldn't I just enjoy it?

Eventually I won't be able to enjoy anything as I'll be in the ground. But until then, I'll try to enjoy myself (in moderation of course).
>This is quite simply a data breach hackers dream.

The problem here is you're missing the point of the people making these laws. This is a feature, not a bug to these people. They want to punish you for stepping outside of your cis normative + 2.5 kids relationship that good 'religion of their choice' people do.
