> Curious how genetic noticing that flavor shift is. Is it akin to how some folks hate cilantro?

Yes. I'm one of these people, that stuff tastes like weird soap for me - but neither of my parents has that issue (and yes, my father clearly is my father), so the cilantro stuff is likely recessive.
One exception are Mrs. Renfro's pickled jalapeños, a Tex-Mex staple for decades. They're still quite hot. I wonder if they have special grower relationships?

I've always thought the California and Mexico weak peppers I got had more to do with irrigation practices than the varietal. But maybe it's both!

Beat Hazard 2.

I never played it, don’t know what it’s about, but here is what I see on the gog page:

https://www.gog.com/game/beat_hazard_2

GOG has this label:

“DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.”

So, gog THINKS that it is DRM free, but you say it’s not, so I go to comment section and see that pinned, “OVERALL MOST HELPFUL REVIEW” says:

> ... has secret DRM. It's using SOAP to login a user and has bugs that error out if you disconnect during certain actions in the game. Either way the developer has turned to scum by putting secret backend monitoring software inside his 'drm free' game.

Aha! So it’s not GOG’s fault, it’s DEVELOPER’S fault. It’s just that GOG doesn’t know about yet, or doesn’t want to deal with it or whatever. So, yeah, technically gog should remove this game from their store. But the point is gog is not the one acting in bad faith here. The DEVELOPER is.

(I’ll look at other games later. Thank you for this list!)

PS. I think GOG should do a clean up of DRMed games to live up to their words. I am disappointed they are dropping a ball on this one. They should visit that forum page and check those games. But, like I said: gog is not initially acting in bad faith, developers who implement DRM into their games do.
We’ve processed millions of dollars and we have never encountered any sort of rounding issues. Our numbers always match to the penny. Yes, banks do all sorts of rounding internally, but this doesn’t affect us. We get detailed transaction statements from the bank (correct to the penny) that contain amounts, currencies, fees, interest, settlement dates and everything else. We take that data and match it to our invoices.

The bank’s numbers are authoritative. We don’t know what spot forex rate the bank will use for any given transaction. We don’t know what fees we get charged. There is no such thing as a disagreement with the bank about how much money we have. Our bank accounts were empty a decade ago. Sum all transactions between then and now and you end up with our current balance, to the penny.

There are some edge cases, where for instance your quarterly numbers are reported individually (and therefore rounded) but the annual report uses unrounded quarterly numbers but this is all pretty straightforward.

Unnecessary complexity would lead to rounding footguns, but money in my world is discrete and fixed precision (just like physical).
Thank you for your correction.

Of course you need a trust anchor. How would would it work otherwise?!

If you can come up with a system where we could just all imagine up the same blockchain code, parameters, and have the code magically appear on our machines to run, that would be cool, but seems not really possible to me?

OTOH, what you can do with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, is download the code, review it, see if you agree to the rules laid out in the code, and if so, run it, and participate.

If you don't have the technical knowledge to do this, like 99.99% of people, you can delegate that trust of verifying and explaining it, to someone of your choosing.

No-one is expecting on-chain ledgers to solve off-chain trust. What they can do is make the process more transperant, more decentralized, and give people a much wider choice. You might look at this as competition. Alternatively you might sit on hn and hope to get a job in ad-tech.

"The 500-year-old Ryoanji Temple garden in Kyoto contains five outcroppings of rocks and moss on a rectangle of raked gravel. Using symmetry calculations the researchers have discovered that the objects imply an image of a tree in the empty space between them that we detect, without being aware of doing so1."

When I checked last year the per-address geodata (sans addresses, sadly. Those are only available by license from CostQuest) was available via the map API.

> There's nothing wrong with any of that, and a lot that's quite good.

There's a lot wrong with it. The problem with even these four foundational principles is: there are a significant % of situations where they are the exact wrong thing to do. Sometimes they are good! Sometimes they are very very bad.

There's no replacement for good management and judgement.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools — there's a lot of value in having things done in a standard manner. Most of the time, you shouldn't try to be a special flower.

Working software over comprehensive documentation — have you ever seen a team develop themselves into a corner? Or run head first into a pit of real-life complexity? Try implementing USB without comprehensive documentation.

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation — customers will often take advantage of you. Both internal and external customers. The contract helps a lot when the customer is antagonistic.

Responding to change over following a plan — sometimes you should just stick to the plan.
> No, they just want the ability to spy without warrants,

They want the ability to easier spy without warrants. They already spy without warrants through numerous mechanisms such as buying "private" data from 3rd party vendors, or by simply asking companies to provide the info themselves.
DEI is probably the determining factor.

I refused to work in SF/SV after discovering that what passed as jokes and fun in high school were taken as threats against a person's life and the consequences were the loss of a job.

The public internet has always had a mix of business, pr0n, and awkward communities where each push the boundaries of interactions.

Once I started hearing about AI Safety I thought "well that's useless now" because as someone who attempted to build filters for spam, profanities, and 'hate' along with moderating communities - and gave up - the rules cannot be created nor applied consistently without heavy human hands.

Professionalism lost to DEI. We can no longer disagree - we must be advocates and allies against whoever is in a position of power to define 'hate'.

Like the Great Scott said. This is a hate crime because I hate it.
Capsaicin itself is boring. Frankly, I think it tastes rather metallic.

You can make pickled jalapenos as hot as you want them to be, regardless of the heat in the peppers themselves; a pickled jalapeno vendor is exactly the kind of customer that wants low-heat, low-variance jalapenos.

What I laugh about is that more than once I have had to explain HIPAA to my corp lawyer. I've had actual discussions where the lawyers proposed an immense amount of work, followed by me explaining that our work doesn't fall into the scope of HIPAA and therefore we do not need to comply with it or get any certification or sign a BAA at all. "But... .but .... we should comply anyway just to be on the safe side!".
No doubt some users might still have a cache they are able to see, but alas, google has long pruned off certain users from their cache, my lappy hasn't seen a google "cache" result for 5 years or so.

Wow, they're still trying to depower their search engine. However, a quick look, filetype still works, but sadly for that option to work with myself, it requires the verbatim option selected ... which in my experience in various attempts the last handful of years, removes other options such as time from the query. I don't recall if I've tried to manually modify the entry in the navigation bar to sort the verbatim / time issue, but I'm not the sort of person to polish or paint a turd unless it had something of value ... google's results have not been stand out since IMO 2015 ish.

DDG works for the moment, but they too are starting to get a little silly, last few weeks (just personal stuff these days regarding searches) near most have required the individual words in quotes to work as it once did.
I just did a 1:1 copy of some of my ChatGPT chats with Mistral Large (always posting the same questions), and while it is really, really good, it's still not as good as GPT4.

I feel like ChatGPT has a better way of figuring out what I want to know and provides better examples.

I also preferred GPT4's code.

Then Le Chat has some usability issues, like a too thin font and a too high contrast in dark mode.

But overall, I could live with it should ChatGPT go offline.

You can register for a free personal JSTOR account: https://support.jstor.org/hc/en-us/articles/115004760028-How...

I think they started doing this during the pandemic.

The personal account allows you to read up to 100 articles online every 30 days. "Online" means you can't download the article as a PDF, for instance. It's cumbersome to have to read stuff online only, but better than nothing.

University accounts are nicer, since you can download articles and read offline. On the other hand, most schools won't carry all the journals that JSTOR holds.
A plausible explanation, but you have no proof it's actually true.
Sounds neat!

I used to get jalapeños from a certain “farmers market” that were so hot [0]. By far the hottest jalapeños I’ve ever had. Had to be very careful with them. It does make you wonder where they come from. I wanted to give them to people that mock the heat of jalapeños.

[0] This was an east coast farmers market and wasnt literally farmers selling their produce. I believe a lot of it was trucked up from Mexico.
Well this conversation just got very hard to have.

A free model that appears to be "unaligned" would be a huge win for china.

Think of it this way, a model that calls Taiwans independence as open for debate, while we wont say it's a country is a massive tip on the scales.

Now pick another hot button politically divisive POV and have it be truly neutral (merits of arguments withstanding).

What does the US do at that point? Tell us we can't use it? How does the EU react?

>> (Edit, reminds me a bit of the silicon valley joke where Erlich tells Jin Yang he can't smoke in California as we don't enjoy the same freedoms you do in China)

I think this is the biggest point a lot of people who aren't used to consistently spicy/hot food miss. Yes, the peppers will be hot but the flavors will be wildly different between them and that's the more interesting/important thing. The right pepper can really make a dish amazing, but just adding heat won't.
I think you are correct about my thinking: at the time, I assumed it was an example outcome and my brain turned off at that point and simply assumed the probs were still 50-50. In some sense I was both intellectually wrong (in my assumption about it being an example) and intellectually lazy (in my failure to work through the implications of my assumption).

Personally the whole thing taught me is one true hallmark of intelligence is the ability to eliminate unnecessary ambiguity and find the "right" answer.

I don't know, I don't find jalapeños to be all that flavorful. Sure, adding some add some spice and some flavor. But it seems both are just mild.

It’s a consequence of weak typing choices - not an inevitable result of allowing flexibility.

Doing glob matching on account IDs is like doing concatenation with guids, applying a bitshift to a UTF8 string, or running a regex on an integer. It is a nonsensical operation, and - as shown here - results in surprising security properties of the resulting system.

Surprising security properties are an undesirable result in an access control policy language.
Correct. If they want to destroy their own game it sucks but it’s ok IFF they explicitly let users know that they won’t be able to play the game forever. They should provide a shut down date upfront.

"Properly Roman" according to what formal certifying authority of "proper Romans?"

They considered themselves Roman up until Constantinople fell to Mehmed II. And even then, the Ottoman Turks took the title Kayser-e-Rum, literally "Caesar of Rome." And even before them, as the Muslims first expanded out of Mecca and Medina, they referred to the Byzantines as "Rum" or "Rome."
One of the best unique beers I've ever had was a Jalapeno ale. The yeast had metabolized all the capsaicin, so there was zero spice. The Jalapeno flavor was crisp and clean, and you could taste a depth of flavor that was normally overshadowed by the heat. It made me appreciate peppers more now that I knew what to taste for. I've been meaning to try and recreate it and then work my way through various peppers/chilies.
I don't mind steamed sprouts today, but I remember how utterly repulsed I was by them as a kid. The preparation doesn't make a ton of difference, in my opinion.
Eastern?
I don't think so, ghost peppers have a very rich flavor to me.

Habaneros have a sweet flavor that accompany their spice.

Serranos have a very distinct flavor as well.

Each pepper has a flavor that comes with the spice, and yeah the more spicy the pepper they more rich the flavor generally.
Sure, that's fair; I hope I didn't imply that would be acceptable.

- Obviously this is not easy, and only a sociopath would actually recommend this as an attainable way to improve your frame of mind; and

- Assuming that walking this path will improve a poor frame of mind is tenuous; I'm stating observations on the outcomes, not on the path toward achieving those outcomes; and

- It is deeply countervalent to a genuinely great point the author made in the blog post, that you shouldn't assume the American Atomic Family path our forebearers paved for us is what is right for you.
