My plan is so long as I lose 5% or more of my body weight within the first 12 weeks, then to continue on Saxenda until I get to 60kgs (I’m a female and I’m currently 80kgs - there was a time where I was 140kgs (I lost that weight naturally (I got down to 72kgs), but it was really mentally exhausting)). Then I had cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin and fat cells etc on my abdomen (I believe that’s helped me to not have more significant weight regain).
(I’ve only completed 3 weeks of saxenda, and I’m only on 2.4mg a day and there is noticeable changes in my size as per before/after photo’s, but I’ve not weighed myself yet).

I am going to the gym 3-4 times a week with 20mins of cardio and 25mins of weight training, swimming 2x a week for 60mins per swim, and walking (weather permitting). I was running half marathons until recently, I sprained my ankle and my right ankle is super unstable at the moment so not able to run, but the hope it to return to long distance running within the next 6 months.

Post-GLP1 I’m planning to resume long distance running to maintain a low weight and continue going to the gym. I would prefer to have more muscle tone than I’ve had in the past because I think it looks healthier.

In terms of building healthier habits, something I’ve noticed while on the GLP1 is that I am
not impulse buying junk foods at the supermarket. Additionally, before GLP1 I’ve struggled a lot with tasks like grocery shopping and cooking because of my ADHD. But… since I’ve been on this GLP1, I have more mental availability to plan meals (super interesting!) I’ve actually found it a manageable task to plan a meal, acquire the correct ingredients and then prepare the meal, so I’ve been making far healthier meals (and it doesn’t even feel like I’m trying).
There is actually part of me that doesn’t want to stop taking the GLP1 because I’m finding it is helping me with impulse control so much, it’s providing significant relief from internal guilt and grief I often would feel from impulsively spending significant amounts of money on shit I quite frankly didn’t need or really want that badly.
The GLP1 has been more effective for my impulsive behaviours than the methylphenidate I used to be on for ADHD, without causing me to have the irritability that comes from being on stimulants for ages.

Why are you inserting a space before all of your punctuation?
> what's the point of sentences that long?

Deterrence and retribution.

On incapacitation, however, can you really not see Bankman-Fried leaving prison in his forties and doing anything but running out to raise new capital? His position throughout the trial seemed to genuinely convey that he didn’t think he did wrong.
I am not sure what are you talking about: Windows laptops had the same hardware and similar gestures since, at least, 2013. The vast majority of Windows laptops don't have buttons on touchpad (the Thinkpad in this thread actually does but those are buttons to be used with the "touchpoint", the antique IBM control with the red "pimple" in the middle of the keyboard, the touchpad itself supports the standard Windows Precision gestures so buttons are not needed). Using a Windows laptop at home and a Mac at work I see no difference in touchpad performance, except that Windows gesture for selection is easier to pull off than the Mac's but this could be just my preference as I mostly use Mac with a mouse anyways.

as platform engineer, i want to like nix. but it's not easy for everyone else.

and the dx is still pretty bad IMO.

for example, i prefer devbox DX just because i can add pkg like this `devbox add python@3.11`.

also, looking at 120 lines flake.nix. it's not exactly "easier"

> in Karabiner you make a simple rebind "if terminal is active, let Cmd-C send something else"

That's great; we agree: "even if they are with something like Karabiner, 'My point is that it's always gonna be a little imperfect and maybe a lot of work'"

Everything else is you nakedly trying to score internet points instead of having an earnest discussion with me, which I would guess won't win you a lot of friends.
I call bull on that. As the first country to industrialize, and arguably the first to de-industrialize too, Britain has massive amounts of brownfield ready to be used.

The problem is just that developers have to pay to clean up those sites. You can simply look at the Houchen affair: as soon as the local authority foots the bill, developers will jump on the dirtiest stretch of brownfield, no questions asked.
How do these fingerprinting schemes work when the handshake protocol is not merely obfuscated, but actually encrypted?

i.e. if one uses the tls-crypt option?

As I understand it, that encrypts the handshake protocol such that simple data value matching will not work, and one would have to either use length and/or timing matches.
> People don't really follow mass media these days.

Hm, I would call a large portion of media on social media "mass media". Even though it's distributed in a new form, I do think a lot of people follow what I would call "mass media".
Funnily enough, I bought lots of stuff on GumRoad and wasn’t aware that NSFW is huge there. I only knew it as the platform for online courses, ebooks and mediocre notion templates
I think the hardest problem you’ll encounter for a project like that isn’t schematic capture or PCB layout but rather figuring out what kind of signals you’re going to need for interfacing to the existing hardware. Looking at https://www.rtsauto.com/e30-cluster-pinout/ for example looks light a nightmare to me to try to keep straight and interface to correctly, where using Atopile or KiCAD or Altium.

I do think Atopile is onto something though: the idea of being able to make “modules” made up of discrete comments that are reusable across multiple projects is pretty awesome. It’s not a new concept by any means but flipping through their documentation gives me faith that they might have figured out a relatively clean way to do it.

The downside, for me, is that schematics are infinitely useful for debugging and there’s a lot of semantic information communicated in (good) schematic layout that I fear will be lost when using Atopile (like left-to-right signal flow).
unexpected, but incredible !
Legal and right are also not the same thing.
I hope laws changed as a result.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to push two more updates for review, one removing the notice about paying outside the appstore, and another re-adding it. I assume the employees reviewing have been given a strategy to follow, but it would be pretty damning if the version without the pricing info got through.
Yep. CCBill is one the bigger/better known in that space. I’m guessing Gumroad just doesn’t think it’s worth it.
absolutely not the solution.
But I think the point is that good solitude is time in nature, time writing or reading (but, an actual book), time spent in meditation or working with your hands.

Bad solitude when you’re physically alone but perhaps engaging in fake togetherness activities— online gaming, social media, work zoom calls, dumping memes into five different group chats.
in stead of the ring light what you want is diffused light. You can buy fancy screens to put between the studio lights and the subject but the cheap way is to hang some shower curtains around and have your lights beam onto as much of the surface as possible.

I use gimp, if the image may consume this much time and effort i just take a lot of pictures from the same angle with different settings and light. I load each image as a layer, duplicate some and change their contrast colors temp etc then add/remove each layer by playing with its transparency and use the eraser to get rid of unwanted parts of the layer.

Then when the result sucks I repeat all of the mistakes from scratch.
Based only on this there is insufficient evidence to say for certain.

My guess is that the end of most COVID countermeasures caused people to die in larger numbers, especially the unvaccinated.
Keep downvoting me all you wish, but just as there are unreconstructed Trumpists dominating some areas of the country, there is a Left contingent dominating others.
The cardinality of the set if possible infinite binaries sequences is uncountable. My gut tells me there must be a way to assume the negation and construct a bijection between the naturals, leading to a contradiction.
Yea. Like, I’m 100% on board with the idea that AWS IAM is full of footguns, is overcomplicated, and is hard to get right (I assume other cloud platforms are similar, but my expertise is largely specific to AWS).

But also it’s a complex and very important problem space.
> VR games, which are the only real reason to own a VR headset

Because the rest of the experience is so unpolished.

I have a Meta Quest 3 and overall it doesn't exactly feel like they invested tens of billions into that ecosystem. The headset's UI is basically a 2D desktop with taskbar and app launcher covering a small fraction of the field of view, including some buttons that are so small it's tricky to aim at them with the controllers. The Oculus desktop client fails to recognize it via USB and the official remote desktop app is still in Beta while Steam lets me play games or use the desktop remotely with two button presses. To this day I have not managed to just copy files directly onto the device, no USB connection (other than to Steam) works. Only some semi-reliable wifi transfer from a third-party application worked but that required enabling developer mode.

On top of that they decided to ship it with a head strap that never fits well and gets painful within 30 minutes, and then made it unnecessarily complicated to swap. Yes, of course people aren't going to do more on that thing than play a few rounds of Beat Saber, because many simply don't want to jump through hoops like that. I think it's a great device overall but some things are just so...unnecessary.

Apple not focusing on games might be a good thing because it means they can't just rely on games for free sales numbers.
A majority/totality of my IRL friends has a problem with spending too much time in front of a screen. Regardless of the political/liberation parts of the article, it is hard to argue against social media being designed to be addictive, and all forms of digital entertainment encouraging binging, from Youtube to Netflix to videogames.

Boredom, I think, is a key motivator for fulfillment. Anecdotally, I find myself in a city where I have very few IRL friends; you could say I'm lonely, and yet I am not seeking out activities or "third places" where I could meet more people. I think it's plausible to say that's because digital entertainment keeps me busy enough, but that's a (very) local maximum

So what's the "nonsense" these people have not heard about? Maybe "terminally online" evokes images of reddit and 4chan hardcore users, but it should also include people who spend hours a day scrolling instagram, tiktok, and what have you. The _average_ screen time per day among internet users is almost 7 hours [1]; of which 3 hours on average spent on social media (which does not include entertainment such as youtube/netflix) [2]

The amount of "real human beings embroiled in online communities" is extremely high. They might not be engaging in niche collectivism outrage, but that's only half of what the article is about... I took it to be complication, an additional stake: if you _do_ care about, say, liberation, then note: this is also controlling you in that specific regard.

I've seen more of the model fiddling, like logits restrictions and layer dropping, implemented in python, which is why I ask

Most of AI has centralized around Python, I see more of my code moving that way, like how I'm using LlamaIndex as my primary interface now, which supports ollama and many more model loaders / APIs
I wish there was an easy way to handle subscriptions with crypto. Like if MetaMask or other wallet apps agreed on a "pull-based" billing system. That would probably never happen, but I can dream.

As an operator, I'd also want a smart contract that collects payments from a list of tokens/altcoins and immediately converts it to USDC.
The Coprophagic AI Crisis
I installed Orbstack and found that I didn't really need it, so I removed the directory in /Applications. Wow, for weeks and weeks I found remnants of it in a lot of places. Very disappointing that it left so much cruft around. They should have an uninstaller. It left a really bad taste and I'm unlikely to try it again.

Before someone asks. I've been using macOS for a long time. I've never seen remnants like this from a program. Sure, there are often directories left in ~/Library/Application Support/, but this was more than that. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the details, but I ran across the bits in at least 3-4 places.
Will it be when the only recognized title, legally, is a digital token?

Motor vehicle departments are already moving to this.

No reason it can't work for more expensive assets - especially with centralized authorities doing the signing.
Mass media is not the problem. Personalized media is the problem. Mass media fosters consensus while personalized media fosters divergent views.

There are pluses and minuses to both, but I feel like mass media is the wrong term to use to diagnose the problem.
Mass media might mean large traditional TV, Movie and Newspaper organisations but I take it to mean also Google, Meta, X, Netflix, Reddit and so on.

Your other points I agree with.

But I believe you cannot be happy without discomfort. That is less from Taoism perspective but more
to so with how the brain and body actually work.

A lot of hip remedies (medicinal psychedelics, ice baths, weight training for wellness as opposed to vanity/sport) are based on pain followed by gain. As opposed to alcohol, doom scroll etc. that are the reverse.
These 120 lines do quite a lot more, don't they?

It's actually a smooth readable (but tall-and-skinny) font on my personal laptop, and a pixelated mess on my work laptop; I've never figured out why... Oh, huh, they're using a custom font: https://xeiaso.net/blog/iaso-fonts/ so that should actually be consistent. (After the weekend I'll poke at it on the other laptop and see what's up.)

What I'm getting at is that they might (unintentionally) be complaining about a rendering bug and not the actual font...
Why? To me, it seems like a clear solution, and is actually one of the core goals of the creation of cryptocurrency.
It seems that reasonable changes - well vetted ones - seldom happen. What to do?

It is a pretty common pattern now that if you allow someone to take on a "task" without guardrails it just explodes into nonsensical feature creep.
Richard Fuld and Henry Paulson for sure. Kerry Killinger and Christopher Cox for the encouragement of the others.
What I've seen over the past 2-3 years is (company) email increasingly devolve most, though not all of the time, into announcements, automated workflow, and other FYI. If you're actually looking for a personalized response, even not immediate, the channel is chat in some form.

I don't like it really. Email was a respond in a day medium. Chat is now at least same day/hours. In general, people don't call out of the blue any longer though so chat is inevitably repurposed for pretty soon. I'm having to readjust workflows to that.

>the other party didn't respond via chat immediately, we ask "Can you jump on a quick call?"

That still asssumes they're always monitoring chat in near-real-time.
That's "common knowledge" but I wonder how true that is.

I have a feeling NSFW attracts more problems from a "moral", political and pressure groups perspective than actual fraud and that's the main reason companies don't want to touch it.
I don't know if I'd call her "contrarian" but I think it's safe to say she's not exactly filled with starry-eyed optimism. Maybe a lot scientists generally become increasingly jaded and skeptical after years of seeing a lot of big claims and hopes much of which end up amounting to very little, but physicists seem to have had an especially rough time.
I'd say it's good to be exposed to for a short few lessons at a young age. My friends and I found endless fascination with them and enjoyed inventing our own numbering systems. It helped a lot when I had to think in other bases like binary or hexadecimal, because my perspective had been broadened by roman numerals.

But I'd say maybe not waste too much time on it. Kids will play with whatever they play with, you can lead them to water but cannot make them drink. We just happened to enjoy playing with number systems, and it helped a lot that our school introduced us to several for us to play with initially.
That’s a comment about as useful and shallow as an opening commentary on The View.

Please share more data on your conclusions. Sounds like you have some deep insights on what data tiktok collects about users, how that data is given to CCP intelligence, how the CCP overcomes the controls Oracle and Tiktok USDS built, and how its recommendation engine differs substantially from the content and ad matching systems other social media sites or ad-tech companies use.
Superficial repetitions of “tiktok bad because dopamine/CCP spies/cat videos” aren’t helpful. Data and specifics are helpful.
I didn't say it was "the" solution, but it absolutely is a solution to what they asked.
Gleam is another strong candidate too
Show HN: I built Allinop, a social media site for startup founders
Social media are often having too much noise. There are so many things to focus on that is important to cut through the noise and get on with the jobs. Communicating and connecting with like-minded individuals and findings co-founders could be improved. so I built a bare-metals, uncluttered social media for the startup with forum features for sharing insights, connecting and collaborating.
Rise in Legionnaires' disease correlates with declining atmospheric SO₂
All Communications are this way. I have no expectation on response time because those generally do not exist.

I have my deadline and SLA. How is make sure that these are well defined prior to taking on any task.

The ability to say to any level of management, I can do X and I can do y but I cannot do them both within your time constraints, is the superpower I wish I learned many years ago.

Yelling and screaming will not get it done.

Let's discuss your priority and get it done.
To what extent though? If you remove the blu-ray drive from a ps3, it will not play any games, even digital ones. The only way to fix it is to install a noBD custom firmware or use custom firmware and recovery tools to "remarry" another drive to the console.

I don't think either of those things should be illegal, but they currently are. Having an exception may result in designs changing to make such repairs easier, however.
I don't see why not though? One of the benefits of a decentralized currency is that it is not subject to censorship by any central authority who disagrees with the content you are purchasing. That is exactly the problem these guys are having. Granted, they'll have to pay a lot of transaction fees/gas, and the volatility still makes it hard to fix prices, but for one-off transactions, you can ignore day-to-day volatility as long as the minute-to-minite volatility is bearable.
I’m the most calm and happy I’ve been in a long time. I threw away almost all of my social media and news consumption.

The more I’ve come to stand outside of it, the sillier and more crazed the culture has seemed. We really need a collective break and some wisdom building work.

Laron Lanier’s book, Ten Arguments for Deleting your Social Media Accounts Right Now, is still a great read and one I often recommend to my friends. I think now that we’re mostly dealing with socially acceptable forms of addiction, and the sooner we realize that and start treating it like a public health crisis the better off we’ll be.
I was “taught” them in history class I think but I can hardly make sense of anything beyond 100
My lender required me to do a title search on the house I bought from my brothers after my mom died. My parents paid for a title search when they bought the house. I wonder what happened in the meantime to require one for my loan.

It's a fraction of the interest I will pay on a relatively small loan, so I can't say I was real animated about it, but you are just asserting that there is a lot of risk in the average transaction.
>> The only truly safe space is at home, in front of a screen.

Justine Sacco would disagree!
You can do that by making a smart contract that the payee can only pull X amount from on certain block intervals, and the payer can deposit and withdraw from a often as they like. It would essentially be a checking account.

Also re: auto converting tokens - you can jusr make a service to do that, it doesn't have to be a smart contract. A smart contract probably could be used with a DEX though, but I think that may be needlessly complex.
Nixpkgs' streamDockerImage does something similar, instead of storing a multi-layer tarball it produces a script that cats them all together on demand, ready to feed into `docker load` or whatever.
I'm curious why someone would buy them. The license change for most of their IP is still pretty recent so the products haven't had time to differentiate themselves from the previous version. Why buy when you can just fork the existing products? Maybe you want the customer base, but if HCP is this publicly desperate, certainly if you can afford to buy them you can afford to wait for them to just slowly lose customers?
Xcursor doesn't predate PNG. Heck, it came alongside a tool, xcursorgen, that could be used to process pngs and generate the binary cursor files. Xcursor appeared somewhere around 2002-2003 as an extension of Xrender. Before that X had monochrome cursors.

There are some legacy X specifics in the theme format that would necessitate something more modern. IIRC, Xrender used a hash of hard-coded X pixmaps to find the cursor files to match. That's why some of the filenames are a long string of hex digits. The rest are predefined X cursor names.
> Go definitely doesn’t focus on brevity

It does, arguably to a fault.

On that note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONpIjRrLnJk

It's 10 months old now, but seems pretty well researched, showing the extremely close ties between the CCP and TikTok leadership.
I don't think it's the mass media. I mean, the media - especially social networks - play a role, but ultimately it's people who make it the hellscape it sometimes is. It's not some feature of technology or business or "capitalism" or anything - it's ultimately people being shitty to each other, again and again. If anybody wants to make it better, that's where they should focus their effort - not introducing regulations to have screen time limits, or banning certain algorithms or media sites, or introducing large print warnings on social media sites (I am not sure if anybody proposed it yet but I'm sure they will) - but trying to push cultural norms towards being shitty to other people is bad. It's much harder to pull off, but I think it's the only hope.
