I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Most crimes don't result in life imprisonment or death, which means we have to consider the chances of them victimizing someone else once they get out. The punitive systems tend to do dramatically worse on this metric than the rehabilitative ones; they are crime and victimization generators.

I think there are so many cultural pathways that lead to anti climate science today (and anti-vaxx, etc.) that it's impossible to list them all.

Generally they feed narcissism, and they must: in order to believe the anti-climate change rhetoric, you must first believe that you have hidden knowledge that makes you smarter than climate scientists (and more knowledgeable than them in something they have been studying for decades), or have some hidden knowledge that they are all lying, basically mind reading. You have to avoid the empathy and reflection that might make you understand their position, or cause you too question your own. Nowadays you even have to commit "doctrine over person" and deny the warming you see out your own window.

I think that is a bit common in programmer circles, and I have guesses as to why, but I would love to see a study in the space as to why.

And to add, it's a large cost if the candidate takes the offer and doesn't work out. If a candidate is unhappy with the offer but accepts it, they are more likely to leave sooner than a candidate who is happy with the offer. Companies I've worked at would rather a bit of negotiation or a flat out "I won't work for what you can offer", than a candidate who leaves after a few months.

I've never seen a recruitment pipeline that stopped when they got an acceptable CV in, nevermind risk a lot of money on an offer stage. It keeps going until a contract is signed, and sometimes beyond, exactly to mitigate risk.

There’s ample research to indicate CN govt encourages TikTok’s content to be steered in support of foreign policy goals related to the demographic of the user.

So, when you see a mess of divisive content on there, and you’re in the UK (maybe?, re: “tonnes”), the content is there for a reason perhaps. …Stoke the fires of Western users’ current inability to handle this content without some % of the viewers losing their minds and <last 6 yrs of instability>.

Even without the inserts and with contacts it was only marginally usable - it has a very narrow sweet spot and requires precise positioning. Not a big issue when watching movies, but a huge one when mirroring the laptop screen...
There is just no democratic support for fixing global warming since it's too expensive. See the riots in France when they tried to tax gas more heavily. I like Bill Gate's book on the topic. We need technological progress in several areas -> lower the premium on solving climate change -> enable political solutions.

(Don't get me wrong, I wish a political solution was possible. Climate change is a major threat. But in a democracy leaders can't do deeply unpopular things. Lots of people want to fix climate change. The challenge is it currently requires increasing the price of construction, electricity, food, and gas)
Thanks, I need to add this to my list as well.
Everyone needs a phone for M-PESA (electronic money transfers are huge in E. Africa). In Kenya, I met people with multiple phones-- a phone for normal calling/texting on a cheaper provider, and one with Safaricom just for M-PESA (Safaricom exclusive there [at least, at the time]).

My son and I never saw other muzungu, outside of tourist areas, while traveling overland by matatu/dala dala/minibus and probox across E. Africa / the horn (other muzungu seemed to all be traveling via organized tours-- or, at least, never by public transit like we were). Lots of villagers wanted photos with us when we stopped. It is an odd feeling to be the center of attention.

Most of our interaction with Maasai was just across the border from Tanzania inside Kenya in villages surrounding the Maasai Mara. Everyone we met was super nice. Although that was our experience pretty much everywhere in Africa except some large cities (which we tried to avoid anyway).

Then the company in question will have to decide which market is more important to them and follow the rules of that market, while not being present on the other.

It's stored in another system that is probably treated as a pet, hopefully by somebody way better at it with a huge staff (like AWS). Even if it's a local NetApp cluster or something, you can leave the state to the storage admins rather than random engineers that may or may not even be with the company any more.

"Most of the world's history" was shitty and brutal. It is good to move past outdated concepts.
I'm glad our century+ of gross mismanaging our forests is getting more press. But I think we're still fighting deeply entrenched mindsets that fire is always bad. Across the west, our forests are fire-adapted and need to burn to be healthy, but we're still suppressing most fire and not doing nearly enough prescribed burning.

We're also up against a century of planting trees at 2x natural density after logging. Logging can be a useful management tool, but if we plant 2 trees for everyone we cut we're not building healthy forests, and we're just increasing fuel loads.

Meanwhile, climate change gets most of the press. Yes it is a contributing issue, but it's unfortunately being used to absolve the forest managers of accountability.

A good read is "The Big Burn" by Timothy Egan. It details how at its founding, the Forest Service knew the fire suppression regime they were creating was unhealthy. But it was the only politically possible path for them at the time.

> There is also no legal liability for GPT for giving the wrong answer

It was my understanding that there is also no legal liability for a lawyer for giving the wrong answer. In extreme cases there might be ethical issues that result in sanctions by the bar, but in most cases the only consequences would be reputational.

Are there cricumstances where you can hold an attorney legally liable for a badly written contract?

This same group has a lot of insightful exploration into what they call "N=1" studies. I'm no expert and haven't read but a subset of their work, but my impression is that they understand the limitations quite well and believe there is still value in publishing and trying to understand research with small sample sizes.

When reading the blog, I saw these really long, complex bits of code and was thinking to myself, "_this_ is simpler?!"

It turns out those long complex pieces of code are not something the consumer, the program writer, me and you, will ever need to see. If the author reads this, I apologise for saying so, but IMO the blog post aims well but misfires: it needs to communicate to C++ developers what code _they_, ie _us_ normal folk, will see and write. Otherwise we'll get scared off. (But, I do note your absolute enthusiasm shines through and that carried me through the entire post :))

> At this point you may be wondering what’s the point to all of this. Senders and receivers, operation states with fiddly lifetime requirements, connect, start, three different callbacks — who wants to manage all of this? The C API was way simpler. It’s true! So why am I so unreasonably excited about all of this? The caller of async_read_file doesn’t need to care about any of that.

This is in "step 6", about ten screens into the blogpost. Good thing I read the whole thing!

So, THIS is the takeaway. You have old code (C-style, like the Win32 API):

/// Old-style async C API with a callback
/// (like Win32's ReadFileEx)

struct overlapped {
// ...OS internals here...
};

using overlapped_callback =
void(int status, int bytes, overlapped* user);

int read_file(FILE*, char* buffer, int bytes,
overlapped* user, overlapped_callback* cb);

and this transforms into new C++ code:

exec::task< std::string > process_file( FILE* pfile )
{
std::string str;
str.resize( MAX_BUFFER );

auto [bytes, buff] =
co_await async_read_file(pfile, str.data(), str.size());

str.resize( bytes );
co_return str;
}

Plus the additional money quote:

> You want to use senders because then you can stitch your async operations together with other operations from other libraries using generic algorithms from still other libraries. And so you can co_await your async operations in coroutines without having to write an additional line of code.

> Why do we need senders when C++ has coroutines? [...] this isn’t an either/or. Senders are part of the coroutine story.

And actually -- that looks pretty good to me!

And if the author reads this, if I may suggest, put this first! (Combined with the note about multiple different APIs all made cohesive, give two examples perhaps.) But sell the solution, then explain the intricate mechanism.

And, great work. I can see myself writing code using this. I like it.

>Is it possible that these are the result of some reaction in the transcription process? (My understanding of RNA transcription is that we sequentially dump some enzymes into a petri dish, so it seems plausible that we could generate novel DNA/RNA not present in the source.)

Even if this was plausible, it wouldn't be there at a high enough copy level when using a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Let's say the RNA polymerase goes haywire and creates a random string of RNA. Well, you'd just get one exact copy of that string, it'd be unable to use it as a template to duplicate the string, since it requires a DNA template, not an RNA one. A single copy wouldn't be detectable above the noise, and so wouldn't show up in any datasets. (or would be discarded if it did, as noise).

>Is it possible these are actually ubiquitous, exist in every cell, but we don't have any reliable way to detect them?

There is so much more to the RNA world, especially the RNA virus world, than we realize, because RNA is so hard to work with. Humans secrete enzymes that degrade, and those enzymes are extremely durable and wind up everywhere. Also, RNA is generally not good for DNA processing, so lots of DNA prep kits degrade the RNA intentionally. So the overwhelming majority of nucleic acid work is done with just DNA, and RNA viruses are a huge blind spot. That's not to say no one is doing RNA work, just far fewer.
True, but since then Ill continue to be frustrated that it cant do apostrophes automatically. It used to!
I'm not sure what you mean by absolute temperature level vs relative temperature. The reason that these finding are important is because

1. The climate goals set in the Paris Agreement are looking realistically more impossible by the day. If this is finding is correct 1.5C is literally impossible and 2C looks implausible given current trajectories

2. This means we've been underestimating the amount of change that has already occurred which means we might be closer to climate tipping points

3. We've been finding that Climate Sensitivity, that is how likely a tipping point like glacier collapses or losing the Amazon Rainforest, is MORE sensitive than we thought. This means lower levels of warming will have bigger impacts. So coupled with already being passed. For example 1.5C is considered the cut off point for which we'll see a global extinction of coral reef ecosystems. Meaning it's likely to late to save 25% of marine ecosystems
Highly recommend Jeffrey Pfeffer’s books about power and leadership. He has developed a great mental model about how leadership works in the real world, which explains the pitfalls of common ways to think about it.

Humans want to believe in a just world and those in power are happy to provide narratives to that end. Meanwhile they are not correlated with how power is actually gained in the real world.
Amazing how precise we can get these number with what appears to be a very tight margin of error.

Here's an example of what our product recommendations look like:

Given your ownership in a company and real estate, a lasting power of attorney is a prudent step.

Additionally, it can also provide tax benefits by allowing tax-free gifts to your children, helping to avoid unnecessary inheritance taxes and secure the financial future of your large family.
Why not keep going and just start selling prisoners directly into indenture? You could call them "servants" and sell them on blocks to the highest bidder. Require as a condition of purchase that a percentage of the purchase price be delivered into their hands when their indenture ends.
> You're now making a different argument: it's unethical for an ad blocker to have their own ads?

This is a straw man. It's not unethical, it's nonsensical. If you serve ads you aren't an ad blocker, you're an advertiser.

> This ad blocker gives me control of whether I want to see any ads, how often I want to see them, and takes measures to prevent tracking.

Pretty much every ad blocker gives you control of whether you want to see any ads, and how often. Whitelists exist that allow some ads, they just don't get much use because outside of the out-of-touch HN bubble, very few people actually want to see any ads.

The difference is that other ad blockers are obviously more trustworthy because they aren't also in bed with advertisers.

> I can even choose to not block ads that aren't trying to exploit me.

More nonsense. "Trying to exploit you" is literally the purpose of advertising.

I would say that with journaling you're not guaranteed to look back at specific notes, you need somehow to force yourself to do so and have a way of easily finding that specific note at a specific point in the future. Sending a letter fixes this issue.
> "I definitely feel the opposite: that progress is inevitable and the people who are "in charge" while it progresses are a commodity."

This view is problematic too. It removes agency, accountability, participation. Leader worship is dangerous, I agree, but there's a strange emptiness to life when "someone's gonna do it, it's inevitable" takes root.

A person ought to believe they can do great things. Also that we're quit ridiculously irrelevant in the scheme of things. Also: we can do great things. Lovely things.

The only way to cultivate a lot of good TikTok shops is to allow a lot to be created and then filter them down. TikTok used this strategy with creators in the beginning when it was easy for anyone to go live.

Strategically, TikTok is intentionally sailing into a rough patch in order to launch the e-commerce play without giving an unfair advantage to big/established brands, which would crowd out the "crowd" and defeat the purpose.

I thought this was pretty obvious.
