People are really bad about interpreting complex multifactor causations, it seems in every discipline.

I think human social systems have a lot of 'anti-fragile' built into them. That is any one factor, unless it is insanely serious, isn't going to cause a mass collapse of society. We adapt and smooth things over. This is something we see in ecological systems all the time. The problems start cropping up when multiple stressors are introduced to the environment. For example, I'd say the disappearance of 'third places' forces more youth to social media thereby increasing said harm of social media.

Also, social media likely needs broken into a series of different factors on what is harmful about it. You have the direct "Kids going things to kids", but neglecting what social media is doing to their parents would be missing the forest for the trees. The 24 hour news cycle tapped into the fear sells, and online has taken it to 'fear gets eyeballs'. Add in advertisers being unscrupulous, and countless bots attempting to manipulate you, it's no wonder we're not all insane.
Also they've painted themselves into a corner with privacy. To enable LLM in iOS they will need to walk back their privacy stance to some degree.
In my experience, it means nothing. Most of the spam I get to my Gmail account comes from other Gmail users using Gmail, and I don't believe Google will do anything to hold themselves accountable.

Communes exist. The internet is supposed to be a giant commune of researchers watching each others backs.
Esports has been a thing since the 90s with Quake and Unreal tournaments.

I agree with the other poster, Esports isn’t a massive money maker like how the world championships for scrabble aren’t a massive money maker either.

It’s extremely niche and the audience demographics are mostly poor, it’s not a boon you think it is.

You can be smart about it like Valve and Riot or you can be stupid about it like Blizzard and Faze. Although Faze seems to be smart in how stupid the execution was.

If esports couldn’t make it during the pandemic, I doubt it would make it now when money is very expensive.
I remembers me CouchDB + incremental map reduce. Except that in CouchDB you can mutate state.

> Microsoft regards all this promise first and foremost as proof of Azure Quantum Elements' usefulness to the customers it’s designed to serve.

> Unveiled last June, the cloud service is currently a "private preview" being tested by organizations such as Britain's Johnson Matthey, which is using it to help design catalytic converters and hydrogen fuel cells.

This article is the first I've heard of this branch of the Microsoft hydra.

That said, I wonder if researchers who interact with the platform are having the same Microsoft experience as we Enterprise users?

If they are, how do they cope with having critical UI components constantly shifting around, 3-cups style and reappearing with new names or locations or just moving totally different consoles/domains?

How do they find their lost UI components when most of Microsoft's online guides are out of date (including some that are months old)? Are they also dependent on kind souls on Reddit who find and post today's location?

Do their projects also require complex marble-drop-like Powershell procedures where every 3rd command fails on your fully updated PS instance and sends you digging thru already out of date online docs?

If they aren't, how can we Enterprise users get some of their sweet, sweet usable UIX ported over to our gaslit Azure nightmares?
In the '80s, the UK music scene was rich with talent and variety (punk, new wave, soul, acid house). Part of the reason was that you could rent bedsit flats in London that were very cheap, and helped give bands proximity to live music venues and record labels. That doesn't exist anymore, you'll upload your music to Spotify and hope it lands on a popular playlist.

The mega-stars of the future re likely to be already rich and well-connected. We'll see more Grimes and Billie Eilish-types than people rising from total obscurity.
Show HN: Simple tool to hang your art at museum height
I recently found out about a concept called 'Museum Height' for hanging art, where the center-line of a piece or a group of pieces is at 57 inches (144cm), which is average eye level. I love the effect, but I hate doing all the measurement and math to make sure that I'm putting the nail at the right height. This made it so I'd always delay hanging art on my walls.

I started with a spreadsheet and some formulas, but kept feeling the itch to make an app. Welp, here it is! It's super simple, and I wrote it as a literal single html page app with jquery out of nostalgia for simpler times. The code is awful, but it was fun to write and unlike a lot of modern frameworks I think this page will work even as the sun consumes the earth. Bonus: All state is stored in the URL so you can send others your measurements easily.

Please let me know what you think and if it helped you hang that piece of art that's been sitting on the floor for way too long!
Declining global fertility rates and the implications for family planning
Considering how often they've been sued over the content of the magazine [1] I suspect they quite like knowing that every publication is immediately water under the bridge.

Once they've mailed out the magazine they can't delete a story, no matter what - and if someone doesn't like the content? Two weeks later it's disappeared from news stands.

Newspapers that rely too heavily on advert revenue also often have conflicts of interest (which you'd know about, if you were reading the Eye) so I suspect they like having enough subscriber income that they only need to sell ads for wool sweaters and reading lights - advertisers who are unlikely to want a story spiked.

The other issue is that we didn't actually agree on this. It may be that something like the EU declaration of rights says that housing is a human right, but humanity overall has never agreed that is the case.
It looks like at least one of the radios is on the same SoC as the CPU, Ethernet, etc., so swapping out just the radio every few years isn't quite feasible. Such highly-integrated WiFi SoCs are pretty standard for this price range, and getting a processor with enough PCIe and Ethernet to use only external MAC+PHY solutions is a lot more expensive.
> I've seen a perverse dark pattern on one click unsubscribe.

The new requirement specifically sidesteps this, by making it possible for the email client to send a POST request directly. No need to visit the website at all; just click a button in the email client. In Gmail, senders that have this implemented now have a big blue UNSUBSCRIBE button next to their email address at the top of the message.

In terms of making money, I feel like the sweet spot might be a closed source app with a rich open source ecosystem around it, such as Raycast or Obsidian Notes.

The apps themselves are closed source and making money, but the extensions and add-on functionalities are mostly open source.
I use a Beryl as a travel router (connects to Hotel or Plane Wifi, you authenticate the captive portal, then it creates a separate wifi network and opens a VPN tunnel). It's such a great little device for less than $100 and allows me to keep things a bit more secure, avoid config for each device, and on planes it allows us to split a higher capacity plan.

My theory is that this is by design. Unhappy people buy things to make them feel happy - this is beneficial to corporations and governments. The answers are within, but the won't be found in this or that product, government, teachers, careers, mental health workers, etc.

What makes you think you're entitled to anything, let alone a "normal" life, in this world? No one forces you to live in and participate in society, but if you choose to, it's at your own risk.

There were plenty of ways to have a website without writing any HTML and without running your own server even 20 years ago.
If your only constraint is cost, there's basically no argument for using a domestic PCB manufacturer or assembly house. You can't beat them. The closest you might get is "offshoring" to Mexico, and even then, you'll probably still spend more than going with a Chinese manufacturer. If you go through Sierra, I seem to recall that they contract with a Taiwanese PCB fab for the bare boards, but I could be wrong. They should have a domestic partner, not sure who, for e.g. ITAR boards.

So why go domestic? For us, there were IP concerns (that we'd already seen with non-electronic products), there were concerns about shipments getting held up in customs, and there were concerns about manufacturing support. If you want boards to be flashed and tested at the factory, so you can dropship your assembled product to whatever its final destination, its very valuable to send somebody to the board house to work with their integration engineers to do it. I ended up spending most of a week commuting to a board house in Fremont in 2021, so I could train up their people on operating the programming and testing jig we'd built, and operating the calibration system we'd built. Driving from my home (at the time) in Oakland to Fremont was much much easier than flying to Shenzen (or wherever), I didn't have to contend with the great firewall, and if something went wrong, I could be over in 45 minutes. All during the California (and also China) Covid lockdowns.

That is what you're getting with a domestic board house, so if none of that is a concern, there's really no reason to pay the borderline extortionate premium to do it.
And it is as boring as I thought it would be...
Why? It's good. Everyone needs to be lifted out of poverty and given the same kind of opportunities as the developed world.
Time loop logic is a hypothetical system of computation that exploits the Novikov self-consistency principle. In this system the computer is able to send the result of a computation backwards through time and rely upon the self-consistency principle to force the sent result to be correct.

I've written about this before. Instantaneous data transfer with zero lag is theoretically possible through use of quantum entanglement. You can use this same technique to build a doomsday clock similar to the film "Tomorrowland".
It’s pretty wordy but all the information is there.

One of the fragments of the cowl struck the fuselage near a cabin window, with the window departing the 737-700 and resulting in rapid depressurization.

I agree, it's important to soberly identify and weigh all the risks associated with any treatment.

But it's also important to recognize medical risk alone is not what has stopped the serious evaluation of entheogenic or hallucinogenic substances.
It depends on what your current level is and what your relative strengths and weaknesses are. Almost everyone should practice chess tactics, but maybe online puzzles are as effective as books for this. Gambit http://www.gambitbooks.com/ is a good publisher.
A very simple thing about this (and many systems!) is that if your whole thing is "log writes and do the real work later", you lose read-your-writes and with it the idea that your app has a big persistent memory to play in.

This doesn't only matter if you're doing balance transfers or such; "user does a thing and sees the effects in a response" is a common wish. (Of course, if you're saving data for analytics or such and really don't care, that's fine too.)

When people use eventually-consistent systems in domains where they have to layer on hacks to hide some of the inconsistency, it's often because that's the best path they had out of a scaling pickle, not because that's the easiest way to build an app more generally.

I guess the other big thing is, if you're going to add asynchrony, it's not obvious this is where you want to add it. If you think of ETLs, event buses, and queues as tools, there are a lot more ways to deploy them--different units of work than just rows, different backends, different amounts of asynchrony for different things (including none), etc. Why lock yourself down when you might be able to assemble something better knowing the specifics of your situation?

This company's thing is riding the attention they get by making goofy claims, so I'm a bit sorry to add to that. I do wonder what happens once they're talking to actual or potential customers, where you can't bluff indefinitely.
My understanding is that mRNA vaccines require advanced biotechnology, wherein the simulated mRNA is converted into DNA in a lab (DNA which can then create mRNA later), a bunch of magic goop gets added (activating the DNA to start producing the mRNA)... and then chemicals are used to isolate the vaccine (aka: mRNA) out of the goop.

Consistently, and safely, doing this to the scale of hundreds-of-millions of doses or even billions-of-doses is obviously a big manufacturing feat.
Maybe there were thinking about it in terms of disinhibition?

A --| B --| C

Where `A` inhibits `B` which inhibits `C`. So, while the repressor `A` is present, `C` will be transcribed. I'd imagine that simple repression is probably more common than disinhibition in gene networks, but idk.

Mandatory DMARC basically breaks all e-mail forwarding services (SPF doesn't survive forwarding due to modification of Return-Path). I think ARC/RFC8617 is supposed to be the fix for that, but it's not even standardized yet. This seems like a rather big issue?
One of the "lawyer pwned by LLM" cases appeared to be confusion about the difference between Google search, and Google Bard, thinking that Bard was just a next-generation Google search so asking it for relevant legal citations would find actual citations. The lawyer wasn't an LLM enthusiast, he didn't even know that an LLM was involved.
Apple would have to walk back some of their stance on privacy and/or their App Store rules. I hope they do, but I'm not holding my breath. Until then I'm cheering for people who are daring to think different.
The grass in the lawn may not be that dangerous to other people. However, if your house is emitting radiation, and a hero breaks in to clean it up for the sake of other people you service, (because the town does not need to wait for you to hire someone) the hero deserves a reward and the owner of the house deserves punishment.
Indeed. While I respect him, I don't like his caffeinated, manic presentation style and his material is far too basic for me. I suppose his presentation style is to hype up learners on an otherwise boring topic (for most, I personally love networking).

Nonetheless, he is quite popular with the early learners, such as OP.
If I owned a bunch of vending machines, and someone came to me and said "Hey, I found out that if you put a credit card in the dollar bill slot, it gives out free soda and empties all its coins through the return slot," I would a.) be pleased to have been informed and b.) not be upset that they did this.

If a neighbor came to me and said, "Hey, your mailbox that's located at the end of your long dirt driveway is protected by a wafer lock that can be opened by simply slapping the side of the mailbox in a funny way," I would maybe wonder why they were slapping my mailbox but I would be grateful that they told me and I would want them to continue doing whatever weird shit they were doing (so long as it wasn't causing damage).

When you put property in a public (or practically public) space, there's an expectation that it will not be treated as though it is on private property. There's a big difference between someone jiggling the door to your home (where you physically reside) and jiggling the lock on a mall gumball machine or the handle on a commercial fire exit.
I remember meeting one of the founders to see if this could help with a project I had 5 years back. Was a great concept and I wanted to buy into it but the costs were high versus a custom build which would give me a better product for my needs. Glad they are still going but not that many projects on their site.
Partially, this seems like an issue with Firebase, where the defaults are possibly set on something that is not sane from most professionals perspective.

Having slightly tried Firebase, I can also say that the Google cloud tool environment was really confusing the last time I tried using it. Just this enormous maze of switches, and dials, and widgets, like a lot of the popular IDEs.

If the defaults are not set on something sane, and I, a personally evaluated competent tech user with some background in security (fed work) can barely find the settings, then most normal humans with limited grasp of those issues probably won't even know to look.
I think team is a good add to strength the product vision. I just hope it can connect to Notion so that we don't need to re import all the data
I think if someone falsified records of witnessing torque on these bolts when they didn’t, they could easily be held criminally liable had someone died in this incident. I’m not a lawyer but my plain reading of involuntary manslaughter seems to fit this.

Like others, I get people handing my email out all the time by mistake because I grabbed first-initial-last-name 20 years ago, so I get lots of corporate spam that others have signed me up for. If you look at corporate spam, it frequently contains a passage like this:

> This is an advertisement and outbound email only. Please do not respond to it. This email has been sent on behalf of Kia Motors America, Inc. (KMA). To opt-out of receiving marketing/promotion emails from or on behalf of KMA, please click here.

Or this one I got last week from J Crew:

> We want you to hear about what's just right for you. Update your email preferences here. This email may be considered an advertising or promotional message.

For a while I just ignored it, and this kind of thing never went to spam. Now I always mark it as spam, and it's starting to, but their default spam heuristics are apparently awful, and it seems like marking as spam just affects that one sender, so you have to do it all the time for new spammers. I still just got linkedin spam yesterday after I have marked thousands of their messages. It can't be that hard to come up with heuristics for this. The biggest signal is probably that it contains an unsubscribe link since it has to be there by law.

Your example is also a single message. I imagine they look at patterns, and a single sender sending thousands of emails which are 99% similar is probably also a strong signal that it is spam (yes there are transactional emails that are templated; that's why it's a signal). That combined with the "this is an advertisement" heuristic is probably pretty accurate.

The reality is--obviously--that they are not trying to stop corporate spam. They're an advertising company; they don't want to normalize the idea that advertisements are supposed to be filtered.
> I think that arc largely peaked in the 1980s and 1990s with stranger danger and the satanic panic nonsense. Helicopter parents and people calling social services on unattended kids was already a meme by the 90s.

It stopped being a meme because the expected level of parental supervision of children got much higher and it went from being perceived as a thing that only weird people to what is required of parents in most places.

Calling social services on unattended kids isn't something that makes the news as much simply because almost all parents agree that children should never be left unattended until they are old enough to have a driver's license now and there aren't any unattended children to have social services called on them
Not sure I get the joke but I'm sure it's very funny to you. I don't really get into the meme world.

As for self deprecating jokes, I suppose I'd just point you to the right's love of over the top Trump impersonators who make fun of Trump's various verbal ticks and his general public speaking style.

As for "required reading" I don't believe that the various factions within non-left-wing communities have one unified reading list. You'd have to get out more and talk to some to find out what they're reading IMHO.
