Child rape is a situation where it shouldn't matter how many people approve.

If your twelve year old wants to have sex, and you with your "parents' rights" endorse that choice, you should go to jail. Because your right as a parent to make decisions is in conflict with the right of the child not to be subject to statutory rape.

The poster upthread asserts a similar conflict between the rights of the parent to make decisions and the right of the child to lifesaving medical measures.

What are the differences between using AVPlayer and MPV?

AVPlayer is a system player component delivered by Apple. It provides best efficiency, performance and system integrations, but number of playable videos formats is limited. This means for Invidious/Piped videos the maximum resolution you can play with it is 1080p. There's no way to play higher resolution files as they are not provided in the right formats. Obviously, modern Apple devices are more than capable to hardware decode and play these formats. And in fact, Apple seems to be giving special entitlement to Google that allows them to enable VP9/AV1 formats decoding. Just remember that next time you hear how Apple treats all developers equally.

It’s from 2020 so it might’ve changed but it proves Apple gives certain apps special privileges. Who knows which other apps are given privileges and to what extent?
Based on the data I've seen, about 15-20% of iOS users on mainstream popular (top ≈30) websites in Sweden use Chrome. I'm not sure how representative this is of all of EU. Those 15-20% will be "lost" overnight, or as soon as Chrome drops Webkit on iOS (which is what I meant by overnight).

Maybe it was pessimistic of me to assume Chrome will more than double its user base with the new browswer-picker-modal "overnight". But I would be surprised if it's not noticeable. Normal people will see it and go "Oh that's the logo I click to get the internet on the PC in the study, let's try that, maybe all my football bookmarks will be synced".

You seem to be ignoring this fact and blindly arguing that the Mac/Windows world of installing apps is superior.

Note I am talking about entropy of "folding" as a verb- the process by which a fold is adopted. Not the entropy of the final state (which is confusing called a "fold" by some practioners, although that habit is decreasing).

the argument is that the folding process would require the protein to go through an intermediate: forming a loop and then getting one end to go through the loop requires a very specific set of conformations, and reducing the number of conformations has an "entropic cost". Note also that the final post-folding form of a knotted protein isn't really a continuum of many different conformations, but probably one "locked" one which means there really is only a small set of conformations the protein can adopt once locked into the folded, knotted state.

In protein folding, there is not "only one way it can not be knotted"; you have to include all the degrees of freedom in the backbone available in the unfolded state (I am ignoring hydrophobicity and other important sources of entropy which help proteins fold rapidly to the "correct" final state). We already know this pretty well from more basic polymer physics,

but, entropy being subtle, I'm sure there are many different forces at play.

It's not so much about arrogance as a strong opinion on technical issues and direction. I'm also interviewing for roles at a level where guiding the direction is part of the job.

I've had a pretty good history of seeing shifts in technique and technology over time. Usually advocating a couple years ahead of broader adoption.

Being an advocate for change can be frustrating in and off itself. Especially when that change being advocated is in some regards a return closer to a previous approach.

I've been an early adopter several times. I've also resisted some shifts along the way. It's not always about change right now, but getting thoughts out in the wild.

I think with proteins the ways it can be "not knotted" are basically infinite. Topologically-speaking, yeah, it's just a deformed ring. But the deformations (folds) are the huge thing that makes a protein do its job.

So there are tons of folding configurations, and entering a knotted state restricts a lot of the freedom-to-fold a protein would have

> But you did, by claiming that we have consciousness. The only reason you think you have consciousness is an alleged direct perception of subjective qualities.

We don't perceive subjective qualities, subjective qualities constitute our perceptions, dreams, memories and other conscious mental states.

> There are only two real paths to reconciliating this with some form of scientifically sound materialism:

If you have a commitment to doing so. I don't particularly, since materialism is model of how the world is constituted, abstracted from our shared conscious experiences. A very useful one with scientific backing. But nature is more than what we think it is (map/territory distinction).

And there are other options you omitted such as identity theory, strong emergence, property dualism, neutral monism and cognitive closure. They all have their drawbacks, but so does every attempt to account for consciousness.

> P-zombies believe they have consciousness, say they have it, write whole screeds about how absurd it is to claim they don't have it, but they don't have the subjective qualities as we've defined them. Sounds like a bullseye to me.

Yes, but by definition, they lack the subjective qualities of our experiences. I believe Chalmers coined the term to demonstrate the problem with physicalism.

Why haven't we seen something like Bandcamp or GOG but for film/TV?
You’ve focused in on the Bandcamp Friday thing.

When I read the original parent it was everything else that I was like “meh, Bandcamp would be perfectly fine without any of that”

Bandcamp Fridays just got lumped into the quote tbh.

I’m tired. It’s Thursday. Terraform was kicking me in the head today.

Although I can never remember which bloody Friday is Bandcamp Friday so I think I’ve managed to do like one of them.

Bandcamp was going for like 10 years before the Fridays existed. If they needed to go to keep the store online, I’d be fine with that (not that I think that’s necessary).

Oh and I used to work for a performing royalties organisation… so… yeah… I kind of do care about how much artists get paid for their work.

Yeah it would be great if making a living off music was feasible for more people.

But the magic is in the fact that’s it’s not. There’s magic in the sacrifice.

Edit — this part of your reply was annoying me.

> As somebody who obviously didn't pay attention to any artist on the platform, of course anything beyond a quick, one-click, Amazon-style storefront will be "getting in the way of the music," for you.

For me… the connection to the artist happens through the music that I buy from them.

So you know what. Yeah, I would buy off amazon. Or boomkat. Or bleep. Or redeye. Or phonica. Or honest johns. Or SOTU. Or juno.

I’m an absolute record store whore. I have no allegiances.

Because buying the actual music is the important bit I believe.

Why?

Because no one buys music anymore.

That’s why artists have to tour so much — to make that living you spoke about. Because no one buys anything these days.

Well… I do. But I’m weird.

I couldn’t care less about instagram posts or posting photos of people hanging out in the studio tho. That stuff is pure bobbins as far as I’m concerned.

In the US, it matters a lot that Christians are, collectively, a majority, because of voting. Christians are not a unified voting bloc, but we have one political party that explicitly supports Christianity. It often uses Christianity as the basis of its decisions, to the detriment of non-Christians.

It's not as simple as a tyranny-of-the-majority by Christians. There are also some nonbelievers who support them, in a way that baffles many observers because they're often explicitly voting against their own best interests.

And there are some Christians opposed to this, though they should be able to use Christianity to support that choice and they don't. This further bolsters the nominally-Christian political party in forcing their version of Christianity on others.

Yeah, I found the opposite for me, as I expected. I did a little under 400 queries in the last 30 days. I could definitely cut down a lot of redundant or simple searches to get under 400, but given how ubiquitous it is for me to simply so random questions (or simply search around a lot for documentation via search engine) I'd rather not have to worry about it.

On top of that, this is during a month without any job (where I'd search even more on the clock). I hear it's 1.5 cents per query over but I can imagine doing 600+ searches once I'm employed again.
Instead of asking why, perhaps it's better to ask: Why not?

Consider Bitwarden, for instance. Does it have any real competitors running on a quick rebrand of their stack?

Better yet, as a non-technical founder, why haven't you stood up a successful Bitwarden competitor? The secret sauce is right there and you can contract-out the rebranding for like $20.

It's rare to have a tech mote nowadays and without a tech mote competitors will pop up whether or not you choose to go F/OSS.

Yes, but being infected with one strain isn't the same as being infected with all of them in terms of the risks. You are unlikely to have all the strains known to cause problems already.

-------

Additionally (something I only became aware of from knowing a person dealing with it) - there's a modest body of clinical research suggesting that vaccinating for HPV in someone who already has it and is symptomatic (warts) can significantly lessen or eliminate their symptoms.

It was recommended for the person I know on that basis by their doctor as a thing to try, and they've noticed significant improvement. Anectdata, but mentioning anyway.

These are very small studies and I won't claim that this is definitive (nor that I've put that much effort into a review of all literature), but to provide some support for my claims that this is a thing being suggested/investigated in research:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6541142/

- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38068369/

---------

I believe that it's too early in the research for that to be factoring into the analysis going into current CDC recommendations, but it's an additional possible upside of vaccination (reducing symptoms/likelihood of symptoms, even if already infected) if the research continues to pan out.

Indeed, the only value of categories in how useful they are. It's clear there's a continuous spectrum of intelligence/complexity. I believe the main reason we're still arguing in circles about what is or isn't intelligent, is that we also have a distinct, ill-defined category called "intelligence" that carries ethical / moral connotations. We don't know how to handle a continuum of moral weight / personhood.

It's useful in many ways to put a thermostat, an LLM, a monkey and a human on the same "intelligence"/"complexity" scale - there are many interesting things to discuss other than moral weight. And then, for discussing personhood, it makes no sense to include a thermostat.

It's not free for Apple to host free apps either. Free apps get subsidized by IAP and other paid apps. An alternate app store would subsidize the install cost for free apps with the money they make from their cut of IAP and paid apps.
Note there is zero way to audit this charge from apple. There's no way to identify an install on iOS anymore unless the user signs in/signs up for an account.

There's also usually up to a 10% "breakage" between people who install from the App Store but never run your app.
Really? There are tons of ways to get apps on an Android device that don't involve a store charging ridiculous fees.
It remains to be tested if this truly complies with the law.

>> The RL78/I1E features a 24-bit delta-sigma A/D

-------

That being said: even just 5V at 16-bits implies a LSB step of 76uV, which means you can only get to 16 usable bits if you have significant work on noise-reduction.

Going to 24-usable bits is probably impossible in practice, but it does mean that the 24-bit ADC there won't be the noise problem / bottleneck in your circuit.

------

Honestly, if any EE came to me and asked about more than 12-bits of ADC precision, I'm beginning to think that they don't understand their problem lol. I kinda feel like anything beyond 12 bits is asking for a lot of noise / hardcore analog signal conditioning circuits that most hobbyists really shouldn't be doing in their projects.

> And if so, are all 16 bits actually usable?

If you know for sure that you have white-noise, you can oversample + decimate to reach absurdly accurate levels. Maybe not 24-bits but yeah, you can reach 16-bits with probably 100k oversamples with effectively 1Hz sample rate

It really depends however. If your bandwidth is low enough then you at least have one way to do make those 16th or 18th bits usable.
