it is basically analogous to porn -- what porn serves for your sex drive, acid and psychedelics generally do for your desire for meaning and insight. occasionally you will hear of someone who finds it therapeutic for trauma or something, but for most people, even those who claim to have found great truths, it makes no material impact on the course of their lives, unless it is a negative one from emotional destabilization if they are vulnerable for whatever reason. it can still be fun and worth doing as a novelty but it is dangerously oversold imho.

I agree. If you're benchmarking this then you're using the wrong language.

But I hadn't considered the fact that `dict` can be overridden. That was interesting.
In 2020, there was no country in the world where at least majority (50%>=) of the adult population smoked daily,[0] and I'd say that the modal cigarette consumption is almost certainly zero. Granted that the author leaves "normal person" and "typically," "statistically speaking," undefined, what does he think he could have meant?

Why would someone, on the 2024th year of Our Lord, write a silly claim such as "statistically speaking, a normal person typically... Smokes"? Not only that, but also put in the first line of their enumeration?

Ask HN: Why does Google Colab crash due to insufficient RAM?
I am testing a Whisper V3 speech-to-text model from Hugging Face in my Google Colab free version and there are 12,7GB of RAM and 29GB used from 107GB storage.

It keeps crashing with "insufficient RAM" error, even after I have uploaded a small file for testing.

Why does it keep crushing instead of using more time to complete?
Why doesn't it use/create more swap memory on the free 107GB storage?

I just want to test the model to see if it works at all, and then if necessary proceed to more RAM.

On my laptop I have ~16GB of RAM. Will it suffice to run the model?

If I test this model on AWS free tier, will there be enough RAM etc for initial testing?
My experience with CGo is limited, but I think the reasons it has a bad rap are that 1) the performance overhead is costly in some cases, cause you have to switch stacks(?), and 2) the way it's integrated with the language and the build is super hacky, which makes complicated cases more complicated.
Serverless - there's the strongest cloud lock in right there.
He probably means solar + four hours of batteries at the field's rated peak power (which is typically what's going in these days, I think.)

This doesn't mean a drop-in 365/24/7 replacement for nuclear, but it's enough (if widely installed) to render nuclear irrelevant, as no one will want to build a new nuclear power plant if the grid is saturated with such solar plants -- nuclear will be utterly unsuitable for the wildly unsteady residual demand.

Battery price declines have accelerated recently, as usual driven by China. Last year LFP cells in China were going for $125/kWh; this year they could be going for as little as $60/kWh, with some predictions as low as $45/kWh.

Everything I've built in AWS is strictly serverless. You can do an incredible amount with a clever DynamoDB pay-per-request setup, S3 and CloudFront. I haven't once felt the need to reach out to EC2 or RDS and I can't imagine building any sort of control plane to spool them up and down for me.

Suppose you do the same in your getWhatever() method instead; what's the difference? If every property access is an explicit method call, the mental overhead on the API client is the same in practice, since most of those method calls are still semantically property-like and are treated as such.

The future has to be something more like code-on-cloud. Infrastructure should be so abstracted and effortless that development is mainly creating and editing core logic into a web-based development environment. Only the heaviest/purest technology companies and hosting companies (Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok) should get down to the level of worrying about the next level down.

2 or 3, depending on definition of regimen, but also "best" depends on what you're shooting for/concerned about. From what evidence I've reviewed it seems pretty low-risk from a health perspective, as long as you're taking prudent doses with prudent infrequency, and the effects are generally positive although somewhat inconsistently so. If you're curious about taking it, I would recommend doing so and picking between 2 and 3 afterwards. If you have a lot of anxiety around drug use, or are generally averse to intoxication, it might be better to stick to 1 as I think you will find the experience overwhelming. Regardless I would recommend not hyping up the experience too much in your mind, as IMO the actual 'tripping' experience on a standard 1 tab dose is quite different (and in some ways more mild) than the typical media representation, and I think too much fantasizing about what it's like can lead to more anxiety than is really necessary. Finally, I would recommend not taking more than 100ug in almost any circumstances, as IMO beyond that point the downsides start to accumulate far faster than the upsides.

Some background/trip-reporting-ish: For the last 6 months or so I've been dosing around 25-50 micrograms at a frequency of ~1 per 2 weeks as my "going out" drug, rather than consuming alcohol. Results have been mixed, definitely enjoyed some nights very much but others the effects were similar to pot paranoia. Lately I've decided that this is probably an imprudent frequency and am dropping down to maybe once per quarter, but will likely consume closer to 100ug per a session. The things I like about it are:

* the rush of energy that persists for the first few hours

* the duration of the trip (4-6 hours of effects, which from a bang/buck perspective is a plus in my book)

* the general silly vibe it creates in me.

Things I don't like about it are:

* the high body load (it creates a lot of muscle tension in my body, and I often feel physically worn out the next day like I was working out)

* the occasional paranoia/in-my-headness

* the higher level of emotional vulnerability I feel while at peak trip (good for some social situations, but in the wrong environment kind of sucks).

tl;dr: on the best trips I turn into a silly fae with a lot of curiosity and humor, on the worst trips I turn into an analytical gargoyle perched at the fringes of the function. In all cases I'm kind of run down the next day.
The R1 has a lot of memory bandwidth. According to this article at Tom's Hardware[0], the M2 has 68 GB/s of memory bandwidth. So the R1 has several times that at 256GB/s. Coincidentally (or not), that is similar to the discrete Nvidia and AMD GPUs they compare the M2 against in that article.

I know discrete GPU comparable memory bandwidth doesn't necessarily mean it's discrete GPU or a peer to the M2, but there's clearly a lot of something going on. Plus isn't it kinda weird to specifically mention a spec that is applicable to programmable devices like CPUs or GPUs on a signal processor? Like, who cares?

Show HN: Keychain – WhatsApp for Payments
Hey folks!

We’ve built a simple web3 payments app to send or receive funds easily. Keychain makes payments as simple, free, and global just as WhatsApp does for telecommunications.

The app takes away blockchain complexities and makes it simple to make web3 transactions in web2 style. Here’s how it works:

1. App Install - On your mobile, save the app URL in your bookmark for easy access. It’s a Progressive Web App. (follow the instruction on https://www.app.keychain.money/)

2. Add Funds - Import from any wallet or use our 3rd party onramp service.

3. Make Transfer - Choose to send funds directly to a wallet address or generate a simple payment link.

If there's anything we can do better, please let us know in the comments.

Has anyone noticed how appliances and even consumer electronics tend to lend themselves to having too many models?

I mean that it seems if I bought an LG 30" Range Model ABC in NYC and you bought one in LA, your model is ABC-D.

Manufacturers seem to be constantly changing parts, models, BOMs.

Is this because of just in time production? Different parts at difficult times means different variations?

It makes it IMPOSSIBLE to know which you'll get and which one is being reviewed online.
Very cool, thanks. I notice it doesn’t mention anything about changing bank passwords or the like. Might that be necessary, depending on how long it’s been out of your control? That is, if someone swipes your phone and was able to peak at your password (as a recent WSJ series focused on), you would probably need to take more dramatic steps if you didn’t realize it was gone immediately. Should I be making a list of the apps on my phone that have sensitive information and can be accessed without FaceID?

I wish it were possible to designate an app to require FaceID or both my device password and my Apple ID password (or some other second authentication). Does this new updates fix this issue entirely? I feel like not because until I mark the phone stolen it doesn’t know to lock the holder of the phone out of my apps using just my device password.

When I've looked at what's going on with gcc what I see is most of the code being compile is header files. It's probably 90% headers and 10% actual code. And then there is all the dependency files it's reading. Though to be fair I think a lot of that is not so much trying to make C compile fast but to make C++ compile fast.
> The pianist actually did try to grab that woman, look at the video

Although his hand can't be seen, it definitely seems he just came closer to the flag or hand

It's for sure extremely unlikely he was assaulting, which is what the scream of the Chinese implied.

---

> He was calling them "Japanese" while cracking jokes about "Chinese government" and mocking their language skills, while the woman he tried to grab was explaining to him that she is actually British. That's clearly racist

That's compatible to just not liking the Chinese dictatorship, and it's typical for the Chinese government to accuse of racism anyone who criticizes them.

There might be racism here though.

---

> There are myriad of possible reasons a person could be holding some nations flag other than to show support for a certain political force within that nation.

I'm not Chinese but I don't think I'd be happy to hold that flag if I didn't support the CCP system.
After all the biggest star represents the CCP.

But it might well be so that in some occasions (e.g. sport events) you genuinely use it with good intents.

Actual racism towards Asians is in any case very rare, in my experience

Anyhow, Chinese citizens are mostly victims, and you should indeed not treat them in that way for what their government does.
Can't find it now, sorry. Can't remember if it was in a tweet or if it was an offhand comment in Bun documentation somewhere.

Another example of why we need to petition the government to actually take a firm stand on robocalls and phone spam.

Politicians are exempt from many regulations around unsolicited outreach, but we should have the infrastructure in place to be able to rapidly identify who sent out a call or text so that bad actors can be shut down.

It's a really interesting story.

The message was sent privately. After reading about Snapchat security at https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.857/2016/files/11.pdf, it's clear that even in the absence of E2E encryption, all message are sent to the Snapchat API using TLS and even if using a public airport Wifi, this message should not have been easy to intercept.

This leaves only a few options about what is happening here:

Option 1: Big Intel has totally broken TLS and can see all TLS traffic in the clear in real-time

Likelihood: very unlikely, I don't think this would stay secret for long.

Option 2: Big Intel got itself a certificate for the Snapchat domains and use it to MITM Snapchat traffic.

Likelihood: very possible but unlikely to be the source as I don't think they would use it too openly on random users as it's too easy to get noticed if used widely.

Option 3: Snapchat is actually monitoring all messages and reported the message to authorities themselves. Alternatively, Big Intel is in bed with Snapchat and all message get processed by an intelligence system.

Likelihood: I think this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Since it would not be very good PR for Snapchat to admit that they are monitoring all messages, the authorities must have invented that airport wifi monitoring story. Who even use an airport wifi in their home country anyway... Pretty sure he had 4G and no need to use the crappy airport wifi.

Anyway, that's the only way I can make sense of that story.
> Shareholders qua shareholders should prefer that the company emit the carbon and increase profits, but shareholders qua humans would prefer a livable planet.

I think if this were really how a substantial part of shareholders thought, we wouldn't even have this discussion, because climate change wouldn't even ever have become a problem.
It's always felt like a relic of the past to me. It feels oriented to someone of more advanced age who wants to spend a medium amount for a medium product and not think about it anymore.

Rtings is expanding pretty rapidly to things not screens, and they bring a much more scientific and modern approach to consumer device testing.

Curious -- how does your system handle hardlinks? I have a ZFS system which does a ZFS "roll forward":

--roll-forward=<ROLL_FORWARD> traditionally 'zfs rollback' is a destructive operation, whereas httm roll-forward is non-destructive. httm will copy only files and their attributes that have changed since a specified snapshot, from that snapshot, to its live dataset...

One of more difficult problems I had to deal with was hardlink resolution. Basically I still have to scan the whole dataset, and create a map of hardlinks before any run.

The CPR was done by 1885. Alberta and Saskatchewan weren't provinces until 1905. The original transcontinental railroad in the US was finished in 1869. Utah didn't become a state until 1896.

These places were very much the frontier when the railroads were built. There was minimal law enforcement provided by the barely-existent territorial governments and the railroads responded by hiring private security (famously Union Pacific hired Pinkerton) and building their own private law enforcement capacity and this was eventually formalized by laws in both countries permitting the practice of railroads having private police.

Much less familiar with the relevant Mexican history.

> IMO, if they get anywhere close to being competition then SpaceX will just change the contract terms going forward to neuter their viability.

If they were going to do this then why would they wait?

They don't need to. The launch contract is where the profit is. Starlink is already competing with AT&T's ground network and has to maintain competitive pricing there regardless of whether there is a competing satellite network.

AT&T benefits because they can stop maintaining ground infrastructure in rural locations and still compete for customers who care about it, and expand coverage to other countries, much of which will come at the expense of local carriers in those countries rather than Starlink.

Starlink themselves might lose a few customers to AT&T but not as much as the profit on the launch contract, so why do they want to stop it?
