I am happy it's working for you! The key really is to make the phone holistically boring. Like, the first few times you mindlessly reach for it out of habit, when you remember there is nothing (!) for you to do, you need to feel a very sobering disappointment. That's the feeling to aim for. Sadly music is a casualty. (If anyone really needs a personal soundtrack, maybe consider local files and VLC?)

Also, whenever I am tempted to reinstall the suck, for whatever "important" or "exceptional" reason, I try to ask myself "Is it important enough to risk messing up your life? Is it really important to do this instant?", or "Is avoiding these unexpected five hours of idle boredom worth reinforcing the toxic habit, enslaving your mind again, adding to the tragic loss of lifetime?".

In regard to "research", removing all web browsing is an easier sell, if you can still look up the odd, timely (actually) important information somewhere. I keep Kiwix (for Wiktionary and Wikipedia*), Dict.cc and the Google Maps app around. Google Maps usually has more, and more up-to-date POI information, and better search results, than Apple Maps. E.g. you can find a doctor's phone number, or a store's opening hours, reliably. This covers 95% of my "look up" impulses and the remaining 5% are better done on a larger screen and with a keyboard anyway, so they get postponed to a note or reminder, same as you do. (I rarely do follow ups later, go figure...)

I guess mail and messaging really depends on your use case and social sphere. At least, I need to send emails from my phone sometimes (if only to get it done immediately).

> Note that I definitely do spend more time on these websites on my laptop than I would have before.

Yes, but it's much less reinforcing and invasive. And on the desktop you can modify those streams to tingle your dopamine receptors less. Like mentioned, ublock-ing the 'next' button, or 'related/suggested content', internet points, and so on.

I've got this call regarding energy prices in Poland (worth mention, it happen AFTER maximum prices threshold was frozen by govt). A pre-recorded "lady" persistently tries to force me to say "yes" going with "something interrupted us, can you hear me?" over seven times.

Spoofing a Starlink receiver's GPS is not going to be very helpful with phase-shifted array antennas. Both the satellite and the terminal need to know each other's position.

Meditation is something you purposefully do, as in you would put a daily half hour of meditation in your calendar or something. Meanwhile you cannot plan niksen, if you do it on purpose it is no longer niksen.

Also, in the west, meditation is often seen as something you do to clear the mind so that you can be more productive later. Niksen has no such association in Dutch culture, it's just unproductive full stop. Note that Dutch culture is much less focused on productivity than US culture, so this does not necessarily have a negative connotation.

Yeah, this book was incredible and the tech in it has aged extremely well. Have you tried any of Ted Chiang's books? They're also great hard sci-fi.
Another one that plays with similar ideas to Permutation City is the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor.
From the diagram on the article I see that sudo is elevated first, then the target program is launched.

Can't you call the target program directly? There must be a way, because explorer.exe is not elevated, and when you right click a program and choose "Run as administrator" you get a pop-up for the target .exe, not for Explorer.
My fav sci-fi books are:

Ubik by Philip K Dick

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Recursion by Blake Crouch

Highly recommended
I've found a very good way of forcing myself to return to a particular place in the house: leave my glasses there. This also reduces the doorway effect in terms of stopping me from doing things that require glasses when I end up somewhere else.

(I'm long sighted and need glasses for reading and precision tasks).
Show HN: An early HTML page for showing full file diffs based on Git commits

You'd still need analyze to gather table statistics to have the planner produce plans prior to getting any feedback from the executor. So, before getting feedback, the quality of the plans needn't be worse than they are today.

There are things called 'proxies'. The same way you can assess the crime rate of a certain area by the amount of littering by the side of the road.

Yes exactly! I feel like we need to start a movement here.

I did try Kiwix, but honestly I don't need any reference material on my phone unless I'm going on vacation or something. In which case I almost certainly need a browser for the trip, and that's fine.
Most likely real. In LDAP, the "uid" attribute is commonly used to store the Unix account name. The numeric Unix uid/gid are stored in the "uidNumber"/"gidNumber" attributes.

The chart at the bottom: So google switched it on, and then, let us guess, Facebook and Netflix. Afterwards no growth for a year. Displacing looks different to me. HTTP/2 is growing at cost of HTTP/1 ... so the only conclusion I can draw here, is that HTTP/3 adoption has halted. Do not read that negatively. The users who really needed it (like Google, Facebook, Netfix, ...) are using it and the rest, has it very low on the priority list if at all.

I have my doubts that everyone needs HTTP/3, with UDP traffic has network device wise also its disadvantages and library availability and complexity should be lower for HTTP/1 and /2 for the foreseeable future.

There is runas to run as a different user. And if you want to run as the same user but elevated, there has been third-party software like gsudo [1]. But yeah, the recommended way to do it was to just open an elevated terminal, run the one admin command you need there and close it again. Not a huge deal if all you want to do is run a choco install command or something; and generally you don't switch so much back-and-forth between needing admin and not needing it.

I think this is very unlikely to happen.

The main value of C and C++ is in their backward compatibility. Many projects don't even use current versions the languages, and stick to decades-old subsets instead.

There are safety improvements that C++ could do right now, but is unwilling to do. For example, `[]` on vectors could have bounds checks. `->` on empty `std::optional` could trap instead of being UB. Rust accepts performance cost of these things, C++ doesn't want to.

C and C++ move too slowly and are too fragmented and ossified to make a difference in the foreseeable future. They couldn't copy even the easy stuff like Rust's painless dependency management (C++ modules are not going well). Even if a miracle-safety-feature was invented tomorrow, it will take many many years before it goes through cycles of standardization, implementation across vendors, and new compilers being available as a baseline.

Safety improvements won't be a magic compiler flag — C has already deeply invested in analyzers, sanitizers, and fuzzers to improve safety without rewrites. Rust's improvements come from a richer but stricter type system, and that requires refactorings. There are safer C dialects already that have these features, but nobody wants to add lifetime annotations and rewrite their pointer arithmetic to use slices. "Nobody's going to rewrite millions lines of code" applies the same to Safe-C.

But the more Rust-like features they adopt, the easier it will be to automatically convert them to Rust.

The quality of the writing in your link is hilariously bad. I'm biased against trusting big blobs of unpunctuated text.
>But how come the UAF are still using Starlink if it's provided by someone clearly on the side or Russia?

US government bought some antennas so even if he loves Putin he can't bite the USA government who gave Tesla and SpaceX a ton of money.
Got me there, as I forgot about it, but I also don't expect anyone to always name all of them - as it's just a probe on how broad was the spectrum of errors a person encountered.

Personally I've never had an issue where that would matter, as BigInt is typically used mostly in isolation. Any avenue for errors appears only when types are mixed or used in boolean statements.

Be careful using strong language like "nonsense" unless you're very sure that's you're right. For starters, it's hostile. Also, I think you're incorrect.

Who do you think determines whether or not a particular voice is an 'artificial' voice? The FCC or the Courts? If it's the former, that's Chevron deference. You haven't quoted any legislation which expressly confers power on the FCC to interpret the law (which is typically the province of courts) and determine themselves whether or not a particular 'voice' is an 'artificial' ... 'voice'. But the legislation, at least arguably, impliedly confers that power per Chevron - like in Chevron, it was within the EPA's power to determine what a "source" of pollution was.

Compare Australia, where Chevron deference was rejected as forming part of Australian administrative law (Enfield v Development Assessment Commission (2000) 199 CLR 135), it would be a question for the courts whether the agency was authorised to make this regulation, without deferring to the agency's interpretation. The agency does it's best to conform with the law, but it's ultimately the courts that say what the law is.
If you enjoyed Permutation City, you‘d probably also like „The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect“ by Roger Williams!

It explores a similar premise of a post-singularity future (though the mechanism is superintelligence rather than cellular automata/mind uploading), but rather than imagining exactly how we‘d get there, it tries to imagine what human flourishing would look like in a world of perfect abundance!
> As the creative agency behind the change put it, "We thought it
would be important to take this brand and bring it or evolve it into
a more current or modern state."

Restiveness is the lack of control, patience or satisfaction. A
"brand" is an enduring, static symbol in the public mind, who "do not
care about brands". Keeping "brand managers" and "creative teams" far
away from established symbols should be a high priority for successful
companies. Don't fix what ain't broken.
I'm playing with Sveltekit + Trpc Backend + DrizzleOrm + Postgres. I am using plain Javascript + JSDoc and Typescript checking.
I've considered things like this before but not had time to take it much beyond that. The idea was that the planner could run with all expensive optimisations disabled on first pass, then re-run if the estimated total cost of the plan was above some threshold with more expensive optimisations enabled. It does seem pretty silly to worry about producing a plan in a millisecond for say, an OLAP query that's going to take 6 hours to complete. On the other hand, we don't want to slow down the planner too much for a query that executes in 0.1 milliseconds.

There'd be a few hurdles to get over before we could get such a feature. The planner currently has a habit of making changes to the parsed query, so we'd either need to not do that, or make a copy of it before modifying it. The former would be best.
Because it's the largest, most dominant one by pretty much any metric you can think of: area, population, GDP, military influence, cultural influence, whatever.
Also you must have a fairly good idea just by knowing which satellite is being used.

Depending on who you ask, the Supreme Court under Roberts may have already damaged its legitimacy.
I think generally people rather treat everything they do in the admin terminal as dangerous, and do everything else in another terminal or in the GUI. The typical windows admin experience happens on a GUI, even when remoting in, so the idea of using multiple windows for multiple things is more natural than in the SSH experience typical in the linux world

Many satcom operators geoblock their terminals in regions where they do not have license to transmit. This is trivial as both modem and hub/nms/noc will have the gps data from the equipment.

Most governments don't care enough to do anything about illegal transmitting, but some, like the Indian coast guard, has been known to board ships and write out fines and cause a ton of paper work for ships sailing with transmitting satcom equipment. And often they don't know how to determine if the equipment is transmitting or not, so it's safest for the crew to just turn it off when within Indian territorial waters even if the satcom provider automatically mutes equipment.

What is simple is that the bad use of knowledge does not supercede or even equal the use of knowledge in general.

There are 2 things to consider:

The only answer to bad people with power is a greater number of good people with power. Luckily it happens that while most people are not saints, more people are more good than bad. When everyone is empowered equally, there can be no asshole ceo, warlord, mob boss, garden variety murderer, etc.

But let's say that even if that weren't true and the bad outnumbered the good. It actually still doesn't change anything. In that world there is even LESS justification for denying lifesaving empowering knowledge to the innocent. You know who would seek to do that? The bad guys, not the good guys. The criminals and tyrants and ordinary petty authoritarians universally love the idea of controlling information. It's not good company to side yourself with.

I loved this book. It’s the sort of book that made me occasionally pause and think about the ideas presented in it. Boltzmann brains still fascinate me. The spot market for CPU power was visionary. When reading it again when I was older I only found the characters a bit weak.

The 5 year plan didn't fail because of flaws; it was sabotaged by wreckers and reactionaries and kulaks! And Mr Bean.
I'm a technological accelerationist simply because I'm certain, with the 30 years of warming baked in from this point + the impossibility of carbon emissions lowering on average anytime soon, the only way to save the world's species, our state and growth of civilization and such is through technological advances, AI, terraforming, etc. There's no hope simply through austerity, things are too screwed already.

To me Gemini is just sort of generic and uninteresting. There has to be hundreds or thousands of products and companies based on the name "Gemini" - "Bard" was at least interesting, different and distinct.

I've no idea about the quality of the product itself, I have never had a reason to use it. It's long past cliché now but I wouldn't get too attached to a Google product that is definitely costing a lot of money but which has no clear pathway to turning a profit. I think they will keep it ticking over until the hype train moves on from Chatbots/LLMs, and then it'll join the Google Graveyard @ https://killedbygoogle.com

Not really, ECHR has already ruled on this.

It's pretty much only allowed if there's an important reason for it. For example, to recover something invaluable (contract, code, report) that isn't available somewhere else and cannot be replaced. In that case that's also the only thing that them employer can look for. They can't open obviously unrelated e-mails. So before talking to legal, make sure you have a valid reason.

On the other hand, Tanner Greer also launched the Center for Strategic Translation because he thinks too many American decisionmakers do not know how to read Chinese newspapers. And fittingly enough, he announced it in Palladium: https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/11/14/why-we-need-the-cent...

... anyone who read one of my pieces was separated from the original sources by at least two intermediate layers of analysis: my writing was a gloss of other people’s research, which itself was a summary of multiple sources in Chinese. This way of doing things is no longer sufficient. To resolve debates over China policy, all participants need to read what the Chinese are saying in their own words. Wise China policy will not be made until the generalists are able to access the same sources as the specialists.
BMO uses virtual agents that impersonate humans in Canada to follow up on credit card promotions. I’ll give them credit for being realistic, I’d have fallen for it, except what I do for a living. I test them by saying:
“The maze isn’t meant for you.” (Westworld)
Cover is blown immediately. It awkwardly says it didn’t get that, then it agrees with me and tries to move on with prodding me to accept the credit card blathering on about the benefits.

Banks doing this is an exceptionally bad idea. It’s one thing to Robo call and be clear your virtual agent (though bad - and I like the idea of it being illegal), it is extraordinarily creepy and offensive to impersonate a human.
A security consultant tells you best practice, they do the very opposite of not letting you know how things work.
I can't agree with that when we're reaching into the 70% overweight/obese in the US, I personally don't believe in the "let people do what they want" until it means "and let them bear the consequences by themselves", we're all collectively paying the price of these choices
Fair... though I would point out there are reasons governments might want to support citizens who make food more than citizens who make widgets.

The usual approach used to be to simply replace entire "component" with updated HTML string returned by a function representing that component. Doing what you're saying was not feasible for large apps, that led to unmaintanable spaghetti code and never really worked correctly - imagine you need to add a feature somewhere and then you have to go into all the other components that rely on that internal structure. I am talking about CRMs and other business apps like that, not some light JS to load blog comments.
