This is something I've noticed in myself and I'm glad there's research to back this, although this is an open secret to those who do master self-control. I've spent the last three to four years working on self-control and discipline after I hit rock bottom in my life and realized I had no self-agency. For me, having greater self-control led me to ensure I can focus on providing value where it matters in my life, and not getting caught up by the shiny object syndrome I was distracted by a lot when I was younger. Not every thought needs to be acted on, especially if the thoughts come from external sources. In regards to why it leads to power, as you make your way up the managerial chain, when you have greater self-control you are less prone to get "bullied" by other managers into doing work for them and you can stand up more for your team and you will be able to provide more value. For perspective, I would personally trust others who have self-control more than those who don't for time-sensitive and critical tasks because I can rely on them to regulate their emotions and give honest answers, as well as hold themselves accountable.

For someone, like me a few years ago, who is undisciplined and has not spent time cultivating self-control this is hard to hear. If you find yourself making excuses when you read this article for why the power hierarchy is against you, or that there is bias in the results of this study (as some of the comments here allude to), then you should consider reevaluating why you are making excuses. It's a sign that this post triggered you and your response was to make an excuse rather than accept a correlation that speaks to an underlying hard truth. Once you start digging into "why did I make an excuse" and chase that feeling over and over whenever you find yourself making excuses, you will start to realize that you can't think of a reason why you made an excuse, it's just what you've done and reinforced in the past. If you've read this comment this far and you have a spark of curiosity and relate to not knowing why you are making excuses, I suggest you take this moment to chase it down and gain agency over your own life. Some would say this is your red pill moment. 'The Daily Stoic' woke me up, I highly recommend it. Discipline equals freedom, my friend, and we sorely need you.

That makes it a helicopter. A gyrocopter has to have an unpowered rotor, which makes it much easier to fly, since there is no reaction force requiring a tail rotor.
In procedural C land, unit testing is nowhere near as relevant as it is in memory-safe OO lands. Assertions are far more relevant. You want to detect illegal program states in development as early as possible. In C11, you also have static_assert for things like "is this static lookup table as big as needed".

Show HN: A simple benchmark for AIGC that is actually difficult
I've created a benchmark of 10 text-to-image tasks and matched 10 pictures for each task, which are pictures that you can easily find on Google. It is extremely easy to check that for every task, all the current AIGC platforms are totally incapable of creating pictures that can fulfill them, so this is a benchmark that can be used to check the intelligence of future AIGC frameworks.

Yes, I know. But in the context of what’s being described here someone getting started with Rust and wanting to avoid issues with lifetimes could very easily be using copy in the way the OP described clone.
I think you are missing the point. Self control is a source of persistence to get to goal. If you are impulsive buyer of random crap, you will not save money for a house.

We all know those people and at least to me they always feel like bit of looser who openly jeopardise their own future.

Trumps of this world only impress naive people of this world, people who buy how to make $1m in a year books.

Trump openly employs wrestling narrative building to win popularity. It doesn't get any basic than that (i am generalising avg trump voter of course, but a man who never worked a day of hard work in his life - is a hero of blue collar, cheated on every single of his 5 wives - christian hero and maybe eveb second coming, all his businesses went bust - a true successful businessmen)

Would you trust trump to run your company? or oversee anything of value?

Agreed - I'm willing to use Ubuntu LTS on servers that are basically glorified LAMP machines (LCMP?) - but for home servers, nothing has beat Gentoo, not only for the full understanding of "what I have" but also having direct control over what I've got running, including quite a bit of customizability if needed.

Gentoo on ZFS is kinda nice.
The problem is thinking in terms of optimization at all.

There’s no optimum, only trade-offs. But under capitalism, the problems all reduce to “make more X with less”. If GDP is increasing, we’re doing great - doesn’t matter if life sucks.

Everything is optimized until it all turns into shit.
> My claim is that a large component of mountain-town value increases is driven by second home, investor and semi-retirement of wealthy people driven by cheap credit and, now, by the asset gains of that cheap credit.

Then why is it still a problem when mortgage rates are so high? This is also explicitly contradicted by the article: many of the offers are all cash. Credit is not a factor there.
> Yeah, tend to agree here. The idea that the west knows best and less developed countries need a saving from themselves feels wrong to me.

If the global south countries at hand have scientific data that shows these substances are not harmful, then sure. But somehow I doubt that's the case. I think it's far more likely that it's a cheaper product that they can (possibly) afford, and their people who did nothing wrong and had no say in that decision will bear the cost of it.

It's frankly some wild mental gymnastics to take "The West shouldn't make decisions for the global south" and turn that into "so, if western corporations want to dump toxic products that regulatory bodies have forbid the sale of in said western countries, then they're free to do it in the global south." Holy fuck.
I don't like being insulted and respond in kind. Tit-for-tat is a very effective game theory strategy.
You can have a distributed system that is partially available too. Consider a GPU cluster. A network partition occurs. Both nodes can suspend jobs or refuse to accept jobs that require more than one nodes worth of compute until the partition is healed, while still independently serving jobs that require only one node, while healing all accounting details when reconciliation is possible.

News to me, so I went looking for more. This PubMed paper seems to back up what you've raised[0]:

Conclusive Remarks
As a final point, it appears important to stress that, although the majority of experimental studies have challenged cells or tissues with individual oxysterols, in the living organism oxysterols are present as mixtures, whether of endogenous or of exogenous origin. Like many other molecules with biochemical and/or pharmacological effects, oxysterols interact with one another in such a way as to modulate the effect of such mixtures. Quenching reactions among different components of oxysterol mixtures have been reported with regard to the role of oxysterols in atherosclerosis [46] and IBD progression [39].

Complex interactions of oxysterols likely occur in vivo, thus in vitro results concerning biochemical properties of pathologic amounts of individual oxysterols must be carefully weighed up and, where possible, accompanied and/or followed by analogous experiments with biologically compatible oxysterol mixtures.

> The new Yoga Pro 7 is extremely quiet in daily use; the fans are usually not spinning when the laptop is running basic tasks. During gaming, you can expect around 36-42 dB(A) of noise from the device, though this depends on CPU utilisation. Noise levels only went as high as 36.2 dB(A) in our stress test and remained constant at that. The Yoga Pro 7 reached a much louder 47.3 dB(A) in High Performance mode, which we think is unnecessary. Our review unit didn't give off any other electronic noises.

> Our measurements indicate that the new AMD-based Yoga Pro 7 is highly efficient and uses a paltry 7.9 watts at idle with screen brightness turned all the way up and refresh rate set to 90Hz. There also aren't any issues under load: you can expect power usage to be around 60 watts during gaming.

> The Yoga Pro 7 had a really strong showing, lasting nearly 10 hours at 60Hz and 9 hours at 90Hz even at max brightness. When brightness was adjusted to 150 cd/m² (equivalent to 81% of max brightness on our review unit), the device even managed to hit 13 hours in the Wi-Fi test and 15 hours during video playback.
For standard PC's (ie with ATX based power supply) the 43W one seems pretty decent at idle.

The small form factor gear though can have much more efficient power supplies, so some of those reportedly idle as low as 6w. That's total power draw at the wall. Much more efficient than a standard desktop PC.

---

That aside, apparently that newer 12 volt power supply standard being pushed by Intel is good for lower power idle too. Hopefully that gains traction and reduces everyone's power bills. :)

Tell HN: Stripe stole $92k of our funds
Stripe closed our account acct_1MkFytH26i9pIPAy on Oct 18th and told us they will hold our funds for 120 days (4 months) and then will payout remaining balance to our bank even though we had no risk to them (no dispute, no refund) and we were helping other Stripe merchants to get users for the exchange of % of their sales

During this 4 months, we had 0 disputes, 0 refunds which is incredible

And Feb 25th this 4 months ended and now it is March 8th and we are being ignored, they say they won't pay us and there are $92k in our balance as there was no event like dispute or refund decreasing our balance

So they effectively STOLE our funds

what you can call them other than thieves!!!

I want them to respond to me and pay my funds otherwise, I will taking all sorts of actions not limited to legal

> In theoretical computer science, the PACELC theorem is an extension to the CAP theorem. It states that in case of network partitioning (P) in a distributed computer system, one has to choose between availability (A) and consistency (C) (as per the CAP theorem), but else (E), even when the system is running normally in the absence of partitions, one has to choose between latency (L) and loss of consistency (C).

There are two links in the comment. They provide the context. The point being made is that pendulums connected to some support structure can exhibit synchornization caused by transmission of energy across the support. We have not observed synchronization in London which may be due to the chaotic nature of the double pendulums and/or the fact that they are very light compared to the structure they are on.
The comment you're responding to wasn't written by "the rust community", it was written by kerkeslager, who has written a bunch of C programs, but has found that the Rust build tools are better. There is nothing new or sad about it.
How often is your terminal getting scrambled to the point where you're running 'reset'?

I'm using Tuxedo for the last year for work and it's been amazing. I've been using the InfinityBookPro. Their support is insanely good, they even helped me troubleshoot OS issues caused by my own stupidity, quite often.

In terms of quality, I find that the modularity of the laptop under the hood is amazing. I can tinker and change stuff with ease. Battery lasts ~9 hours while coding, browsing, watching videos, and video calls.

I will highly likely buy more for my company as needed.

While it's "not a joke" and you're right it requires medical treatment for massive overdoses it is still one of the least risky drugs we know. I've never taken any illegal drugs, but LSD is one of just a handful where the reason isn't risk, but just that I don't find it interesting enough to seek out.

A few years ago, this paper[1] covered three case studies of massive LSD overdoses - for the largest "intranasal ingestion of 550 times the normal recreational dosage of LSD was not fatal and had positive effects on pain levels and subsequent morphine withdrawal". She thought she was sniffing cocaine.

A much older paper, from 1974[2], had the same cause - 8 patients were seen shortly after having sniffed pure LSD powder thinking it was cocaine. We're talking hundreds of times normal user doses there too.

Of those patients 5 did end up comatose, and there were blood cloths, so we might well be approaching a level that should be considered potentially lethal when you get to the hundreds of times normal doses. But "all were discharged or left the hospital within 48 hours of admission. No residua were observed in a year of direct followup of five patients".

Don't snort cocaine-sized lines of LSD, and you're right you shouldn't eat a whole sheet either. But overall it's one of the safest drugs we know, including a far wider range between the user dose and dangerous levels than even basic OTC painkillers.

I generally agree, I really do. However, I also feel that the entire article shares a very personal perspective of running a home lab - and that personal perspective is probably having a wife which sometimes gets annoyed by blinky stuff in plain sight. And when we remove that personal perspective, we also lose..personality which I desperately appreciate in a world where most things are hyper professional and polished to the point where it feels...soulless and bland.

I would would have have no problem reading an article which makes jokes about the husband being driven to insanity by home server, I would have appreciated the diversity of perspective.

If it's for personal fulfilment, artists can be happy with the sales they can make on their own, even if the numbers are small. Or even give their music away for free, if they want to get as many listeners as possible. But what is the sense in letting a billion dollar company exploit you and make bank on your work, while paying you almost nothing in return?

Imagine if other professions were like that? "Just keep laying the bricks for free for my company, and maybe one day you'll be a famous bricklayer and I'll pay you millions".
I get that but I was talking about the behavior.

just to round out the picture, freight trains in the US are a success story, they're heavily used by customers who make the companies profitable and self-sustaining.

just in terms of where they fit into the national economy, freight trains are important and integral at every level, and passenger trains much less so, or only to small communities.
Snark aside, it's a fair point. It's totally possible there is a design defect in that axle or fastener admitting metal fatigue and we will start seeing more 777 events in 20+ year old landing gear.

Is it likely though, compared to routine field maint? It's the user's role (airline) to inspect the landing gear like axles and fasteners for wear and replace them. It's a 22 year old ship with on the order of 10,000 landing cycles. It's probably had its wheels replaced hundreds of times and axles inspected that many times.

Very little, and rarely, if I understand correctly. The characteristic thwop-thwop noise of many helicopters is from the blade passing through the vortex created by the previous blade. In some circumstances, this might lead to local and intermittent supersonic flow, but it's not typical. I think it also only happens when the vehicle is moving in a particular way, but I don't know how vortices propagate from a rotor blade, so I couldn't say how or when the supersonic flow is most likely to occur.
