Actually there is not much to the theory, I can probably fit it all into a 2nd reply.

Treat strength as a skill. Practice makes stronger.

Weight training is a deliberate stress to the body. It responds by overcompensating. You get stronger. Most people who are not juicing require a day off after a good session.

Free weights and body weight are safest and most effective. Pulley systems come second. There is no third.

Learn the big six full body compound moves and their dimensions. Deadlift is a lower body pull - weight is pulled towards you. Squat is a lower body push - you are pushing the weight up. Bench press is horizontal push, barbell row is horizontal pull. Standing press and pull-ups are the vertical push and pull. You will do these forever.

Injuries are rarely dramatic or instantaneous. Most injuries are in the joints and build gradually. They are caused by bad form. You spend your entire life improving form.

Bodybuilder moves are not strength training. Bicep Curtis and other isolation moves are of no use to us. Neither are high deep sets where you "feel the burn".

A personal trainer who is not a power lifter will never let you lift enough to get strong. A personal trainer who is a power lifter will get you injured - but not badly. I prefer the latter.

"Push through the pain" refers to the voice screaming in your head to quit. Push through that. Never push through physical pain in the muscles or joints.

Strength gains are gains in the musculo-skeletal system and the nervous system. Bones get stronger, muscles get stronger, and more connections are wired up from your brain to the muscle.

Very heavy lifts, that you can hit only one or two reps, drain your nervous system. It is restored by sleep. You will eventually get strong enough to lift enough weight to need 2 or 3 good nights sleep before lifting heavy again.

Wow, aren't you the fallacy guy. Please, give me more fallacies! I should just change my username to fallaciousgoats.

How about this: I didn't use the word "knowingly" anywhere in my statement, and in fact I have no earthly idea whether the countless examples [1][2][3][4] of malware being served via ad networks on major websites was done knowingly. My guess is it wasn't?

So you've got the beginnings of a straw man fallacy here, questioning an argument that I never actually made.

If you'd like to learn more about why malware shows up on cross-site ad networks, there's a good quick read available at [5].

My wife and I both have iPhones and MacBooks as our primary computing devices, and have setup blocks for each other’s phones.

So we voluntarily (I have to stress, this is something we both are 100% on board with, don’t be a creep) set a passcode, and from midnight to 8pm our browsers are locked down, we can only use a few apps, and we’re focused on the kids or work. The only problem with this is overriding it requires us to be together in person, but over a few weeks we’ve hammered it out pretty well. Each one can ask the other to unlock stuff, but just having that little extra hurdle goes a long way in helping reduce screen addiction.

The only criticism I have of it so far is my wife gets really weird when everything unlocks because she’s in sort of a mad rush to watch her shows, haha.
Leads to an error page which appears to be XSSable
And that's why I'm cautious about that. Actual CSAM (and pedophilia) should be punished as harshly as possible, period. Once we're out of that realm, intent begins to be relevant. Perhaps harsher punishments for pedophiles (chemical castration is an artful solution) would help quell the issues that CSAM "art" can cause.
Totally! Sacramento has a great minor league team.

Also, you can get SF giants tickets for $5, they have a few sales a year.

Seconded on this parent and it's parent both. Baseball is a great, affordable day/night out for even non- fans.
Pretty much. I am always happy to see sites that are hand-maintained HTML.

> I havent ridden a bike in years i bet im exactly as "skilled" as the last time i was on it.

I doubt that but the question is whether or not you're competent enough to ride a bike and how quickly can you get back to that level of skill.

We all know the answer is that it wouldn't take long at all, it's literally why the phrase "just like riding a bike" exists.

This is like saying to addicts “Just stop smoking crack”.

Everyone knows smoking crack is bad for you. A lot of people want to quit but are unable to no matter how much “self discipline” they have. And app developers have teams of people dedicated to making sure you stay on these apps longer and longer.

Now imagine your dealer is in your pocket 24/7.
I think that was the point of the previous comment.

The UX of DRM-laden services breaks. You don’t have that problem with Jellyfin.

Navigate to https://stract.com/ then focus the url field: Firefox will display the new search engine at the bottom of the suggestions, on the "This time, search with:" line.
that's not been my experience, maybe you just live amongst morons?
Thanks for sharing, and I'm really sorry for your loss.

Yours is a really balanced take on why maybe it's not so good to have a "wild west" approach to this.

I've gone to two funerals in the past month for friends who lost battles to cancer. I can only hope we're getting closer to radically better treatments.
Lol I get what you’re saying but it’s funny your description is essentially “storage that is networked”.
I have an e ink smartphone, specifically a Hisense A9. It has the same screen as a Kindle. It is wonderful for productive stuff like reading, messaging is passable, and videos are pretty much unusable. It's wonderful, I've read so many books now.
> anyone who can't save money must just not be able to make good decisions

Unless you’re lending them money it’s always better to assume the best about people and spend the energy on helping the less fortunate. However, if you’re the person unable to save it’s better to assume you lack the virtues required to do so and concentrate on developing those virtues because you’re the only one who can do that for you. If after developing those virtues you still can’t save due to circumstances truly out of your control you’ll know that definitely and you’ll still be better off.

Ask HN: Fun electronics project made purely out of transistors
I've always been embarrassed by how little I know about practical electronics. I've studied some electrical engineering, I know that I can create NAND gates out of transistors and I can create pretty much anything out of NAND gates.

What are some practical stuff that are digital and I can realistically build soldering together loads of something simple like 2N551 transistors? (I'm not quite sure what are the most common basic types, just picked something that's cheap and seems trivial)

I'd like to create something that's:

1.) feasible (I assume after a certain size there'd be an inherent resistance to the whole thing and I'm not sure how I could manage it)

2.) challenging

3.) type II fun for me

4.) type I fun for others (non-techies can interact with it)

Thanks for any tips!
> I don't think there's any point in furthering this conversation. Seems like a waste of time.

I agree, if we're going to argue about the meaning of the word "accuse."
Oracle Park is kind of uniquely great, though. Amazing views and right next to public transportation. The more typical experience is something like Kauffman Stadium, where the only way to get there is by car and there is nothing to look at other than the game itself.
You can get a lot of those things n an Apple Watch. I like to go out with just my Apple Watch sometimes. It covers your GPS, payment, and health tracking use cases. I’m not sure if the lighting controller and house key would be covered.
Yeah, but it's obvious. Obvious malicious design is easier to filter out than dark pattern design.
I just learned that "ruff fmt" exists. Why would I use that over black? I've been using black for a couple years now, I'm loathe to change but ruff has a lot of good press.
I forgot to mention a single chip has three inverters in it for three solar cells or batteries or a combination of two cells and one battery.

> the way to treat that addiction is to address the underlying issue

Given that a very very large number of people are _visibly_ addicted to their phones, what would that look like, what action would you propose, what resources would be deployable?

Are you saying that a majority of the population have an 'underlying issue' that needs to be addressed? What is that issue?
Forum servers are being overloaded, from DEF CON's homepage:

After a great 25 year relationship Caesars abruptly terminated their contract with DEF CON, leaving us with no venue for DC 32, and just about seven months to Con!

We don’t know why Caesars canceled us, they won’t say beyond it being a strategy change and it is not related to anything that DEF CON or our community has done. This kind of no-notice cancellation of a contract is unheard of in the conference business. The parting is confusing, but amicable.

TL;DR - DEF CON 32 will still be August 8-11 2024, but now held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) with workshops and training at the Sahara.
I support your move, it's better than piracy.

The problem with piracy is if you become a fan of a series and gossip with your friends about it, now you're marketing that company's crappy service. It's a weird way to go about things.
Despite these comments, Poetry is pretty limited. You cannot install PyTorch with it for example, and the developers do not care: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/6409

So basically the single most exciting thing to ever happen to the ecosystem isn’t supported by Poetry.
I'm not saying there are never situations where it's useful, just that they're uncommon and collateral damage in trying to change broader behaviour (whether by charging for bags or changing the bags on offer).

In your example where I live, they'd offer a paper bag which would cover the little bit of rain. If there was enough rain to cause trouble, people would have an umbrella.
It's pure gaslighting 'it isn't the drug that's addictive, it's the user that has issues' lol no sweetie
That would be great, with the caveat that if a service cannot provide content for your account, it will not be shown in the search results.

Prime is the worst offender of this, but having Crave and Bell TV app installed on an AppleTV means any search returns a result, but you can't watch any of them without buying another subscription to a "channel" they offer.
that was my first thought too.

It's a whole different ballgame having a pedestrian blinded vs having a driver blinded. I'm not saying it's good for a pedestrian, but we have to consider the inherent risk of that vs t hem not being seen at all because the light gives no opportunity to reflect off of them.
Netflix tried to do this, but then studios wanted a piece of the pie, so they all spun up their own streaming services and then stopped licensing to their competitors.

Also, artists make virtually no money with Spotify, so it "works" for the consumer, but does it work for the artists?
Wasn't this about it being a terrible unusable product though? Not a "what has thou wrought" bit at all.

I think this has convinced me we need a new technology altogether, not cameras + screens for AR to be feasible.

The use as a movie theatre, if they could eliminate the weight, maybe an interesting use. But not a good AR headset, and probably never without eliminating the lag/precision issue (hint, you aren't allowed to digitize the universe).

Do you have examples?
(Grumpy old man edit: __VA_OPT__ has been implemented in macro libraries by users for decades without language support. Making it a keyword made no more sense to me than if vector was made a language primitive in C++)

Tree-based expansion machines are the usual way to do preprocessor recursion for non-trivial applications (see: order-pp, chaos-pp). They have that desirable property of letting you process an exponential number of tokens using a linear number of macros, while letting you “bail out” at any time and avoid needing to resolve all of those deeply-nested macro expansions when there isn’t more work to be done.

Getting the linear->exponential property is actually the easy part, since you just need two parallel hierarchies of macros (shamelessly plugging https:.//github.com/notfoundry/pp2/blob/master/include/pp2/machine/vm.h as the most readable implementation). It’s how you stop expanding before the heat death of the universe once you have an effectively unlimited number of recursive expansions available that’s really interesting: if you design all of your recursive macros to return their output wrapped in parentheses, you can write your recursion machine in such a way that at the end of every recursion step, those parentheses are used to complete a function-like macro expansion to get to each next recursion step downstream. When you want to stop computation, you make your recursive macro stop expanding to something parenthesized, and the system naturally stops making progress. In a sense, each recursive macro provide its own potential energy to power the whole recursion system!
I have a lot more faith in spatial computing if it can be more like Minority Report, where we have pervasive screens and projections in the environment, rather than AR.

> every person on the planet will have his own personal stock and bond market

I have no idea what you're talking about.

> i wonder how one can differentiate betting from investing

The biggest clue is how long you're going to hold ownership. If it's years, then it's almost certainly investing.

> A saying i usually repeat to people, is that in the future, i.e. in a handful of years, everyone will be a billionaire for fifteen minutes.

Wha? Wouldn't most people cash out? Then most people are billionaires permanently? How does this work?
Get a phone and a data-only SIM card? Plenty of options available.
Minus the camera thing, I'd almost say a PinePhone-esque device is the fit, given the dodgy telecoms stack (which isn't a dealbreaker to you). Otherwise, though, sounds like a phone in permanent airplane mode (or at least, without a SIM inserted) is the move for you.
I and people started noticing this like 7 years ago, glad that people start complaining it now. It's a combination of more aggressive lighting, bright LED, and taller vehicles.

Looking directly in my mirror now feels like a hazard rather than helpful.
It kind of exists for renting/buying. If a movie is available to rent digitally, it’s normally on multiple platforms.
yeah, because all this enforcement is somehow happening stealthily. All these cops pulling people over but flipping on their ninja switch so no one sees them.
I never found Screentime usable because something like turn-by-turn navigation would count against the global screen time, with no option to exclude it. worthless.
The amount of lines added, let alone unsafe lines, is really startling for such a conceptually simple operation.

You're right, I'll get my employment contract and get it checked by a lawyer to see what's what. I'm guessing I would need the help of an "employment lawyer" to figure out what my options are.

If I realize I can indeed start a side-hustle then yes I'd get a lawyer's help to start the LLC.

> unfair to those who think they have “low IQ” and take this as a reason to give up.

The problem isn’t having low cognitive ability, the problem is giving up. Ideally, everyone should know and accept their true limitations, intelligence being only one of them and not the only one used to justify giving up. Since none of us know what our true limitations are we should push ourselves until we find them and we’d all be surprised if we did.
The number of 'normies' who talk about torrenting casually is a decent amount. Most at least know what it is. If not, they "have a guy" they get media from.
I was thinking of the Vision Pro too, though not in this way. If Apple shipped the same FSD that Tesla did, without lying but limitations not clearly shown in the marketing materials, it could be well received and the product viewed as a leading inspirational product showing a glimpse of what it will be.
"The Dice Man" by Luke Reinhart. In my teens it didn't hurt that it had some pretty intense pornographic sex scenes, but the real takeaway - the idea that there is no "singular you", just a swirling multitudes who bob to the surface for attention depending on the context ... yeah, that changed my perspective on life.

Too bad about the misogyny. Might even have been racist, but I don't remember that.
I’ve been off and on into conlanging since I was a young child, and when the smartphone started becoming a thing with later Blackberries, Treos, and then with iPhone and Android, I began using the same word to mean leash and phone in most of my languages.
Your smartphone is in absolutely no way like smoking a physically addictive hard narcotic.

Again: learned helplessness. You've picked a comparison to ensure that you have maximally separated any notion of your own culpability. Drug addicts who get clean start by recognizing that they made the choice to start, and need to be mindful of the choice to quit, outside the physical addictions which drive it.

The answer for them isn't "I need the crack dealers to all go away first".
It has Android 11 as of today; with no information of upgradability. I would not ever recommend anyone to use such an outdated OS in today's world even on their secondary phone. It's just unsafe.

If it is to be used as a "reader" device then, well, whatever. But in that case why not just use a "reader device" then.
No thanks, don't want a late stage "other plan" either.
As important as this issue is, I have to wonder if it has eclipsed desktop addiction, after all both are just manifestations of browser, or rather internet addiction.
I hear you my man. American men show very worrying numbers and trends wrt sexual health, fitness, et al. It's quite terrible to see first hand - I don't have any answers but my experience is often that the parents themselves have been damaged in many cases.

I don't know what can be done. There's many healthy ones among the groups but I dunno, I despair at times.

Hang in there. Focus inwardly and be sure to maintain your overall health.

Is the behavior of that the attention + FF displacements tend point in the same direction known? I am kind of surprised they are even in the same latent space across layers. The FF network could be doing arbitrary rotations, right? I suspect I misunderstand what is going on.
Few people are building flash nas though the price pressure from flash storage on hdd prices did play a big part. Before flash storage prices started pushing pressure on hdd prices per tb larger drives had become more expensive than smaller drives. We are I think just 3-4 years away from 8tb SSD being cheaper than hdd for me that is the point where we will have mass SSD adoption for Nas drives.
It would be great if they were good, but they seem to be bad, it seems that they must be bad given the dimensionality of the space, and humans latch onto simple explanations even when they are bad.

Think about MoE models. Each expert learns to be good at completing certain types of inputs. It sounds like a great explanation for how it works. Except, it doesn't seem to actually work that way. The mixtral paper showed that the activated routes seemed to follow basically no pattern. Maybe if they trained it differently it would? Who knows. It certainly isn't a good name regardless.

Many fields/things can be understood at higher and higher levels of abstraction. Computer science is full of good high level abstractions. Humans love it. It doesn't work everywhere.
Would it actually break though? It's my understanding that glibc attempts to preserve backwards compatibility, such that binaries built under older versions will work under newer versions. As far as I know it's not a hard commitment the way it is for the kernel, but breakages are infrequent.

Except crack and other drugs form physical dependencies which leads to withdrawal. Smart phone addicts have a more psychological battle. That's the willpower/self-discipline part. How do you build discipline? Practice! So, yeah, it can be as simple as telling yourself "just stop using the apps" as often as you can to build up the skill.

Niagara is very clean and a unique take on launchers. I don't need to fiddle with "home screens" anymore and just have my most used apps right there. And for the less frequently used ones, it's just one swipe with my thumb (see the demo) or with a more targeted search. The launcher was designed of having one hand (primarily thumb use) to use in mind. It prevents me from going down the rabbit hole of adjusting widgets and swiping a lot to find things.

It also has a new update on icons. I finally now have consistent icons even for rare apps (e.g. specific to your country/locale) after a long long time. It honestly feels a lot better when specific apps (designed to catch your attention with the "notification dots") don't stand out.
