Doesn't like Safari. When I pasted the link into Chrome it wants access to the camera (okay) but then Chrome asked for access to the camera.

I was assuming there would be a URL-specific prompt like "Allow 'https://andrei.codes/ascii-camera/' access to your camera?" [OK] [For One Day] [Deny]. But this was not the case.

Yeah, I have avoided blanket-allowing access to my camera to this point. I'm not blaming the site, but I am blaming Chrome.

It seems neat in theory but I imagine the brain having to operate an additional 8 hours a day might actually accelerate mental decline faster as we age given you would be using it 1/3 more but it is an interesting concept.
> If you look into these experiences, you find many people who say they learnt about parts of material reality, that they are then able to verify materially.

The opposite is true: the CIA wasted lots of money on this, and they came up entirely empty handed, obviously. It is very very thoroughly debunked.
I guess, but the huge ambiguity of it to me, that I think should be resolved, is is it the future of the project? However controversial it was and respectful it is to give me the choice, my choice is that I want to do what's going to be best supported by the first party, what does upstream expect me to do, especially as a newcomer just trying it out.

(Again, rather. When I first tried it out flakes didn't exist. And actually that makes it even more confusing because the nix profile, nix env stuff I dimly recall is apparently deep plumbing nobody's really expected to use directly any more.)

Maybe the answer is no flakes, because it's disabled by default after all. But then it really does seem like everybody uses flakes now.
I don’t think you even need that level of sophistication. You can probably get “good enough” results just pointing the camera at a high-res screen displaying the manipulated image and putting it slightly out of focus.

> inviting that conversation means engaging / filtering all of the other opinions he'll inevitably express along the way. It's a ton of mental effort

I've found that this gets easier over time as you interact with the same person. Most people want you to "define the relationship" and avoid friction with them. They are flattered when you take them seriously about something.

The "mental effort" is worth it to me. I try to keep friends of all kinds. Adults don't reject, they just maintain boundaries.

In theory, maybe. In practice, no.

In theory, a publisher could sell you an ebook, declare that you own it and can transfer it (like a digital right of first sale) as long as you don't keep a copy.

In practice, it would be a hassle for libraries to verify that permission, so even if you had such a book, they might say thanks but no thanks. Essentially all ebooks are sold under license that each book is for your use only, and no transfers are allowed. Because ebooks are licensed, and not sold complete with a right of first sale, retailers can set whatever conditions they want depending on who they sell to, and the market can't arbitrage. That's why libraries have to pay more for an ebook they're allowed to lend 10 times than you have to pay for the same ebook on Amazon.
There are also metallic driers in some finishes. AIUI, lead compounds aren't used for that purpose any more[0], but other metallic salts are:

Not only 4 more cores but the QC chip has 12 performance cores rather than the 4+4 setup of the M3.

So 50% in total core advantage and 200% when it comes to high performance cores only for 16% multi-threaded lead is hardly an advantage.

Ofc there are caveats to this if QC’s performance cores are closer to Apple’s efficiency cores in terms of size and power consumption then it’s a different story. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The other major caveat is that QC has so far only been demoing its SoCs on devboards which don’t share the same power and thermal restrictions as real world designs. Whilst the M3 figures are for real world hardware.

So squeezing the Snapdragon Elite into a MacBook Air style form factor might paint a very different picture.
I am not sure I agree. Many companies do not want to outsource stuff, because afterwards you see a huge dip in quality.

It's not a matter of profit but a matter of understanding that administrative CAN'T BE just "managers" meaning with an economy CV, they must know what the company they manage do, not at the level of understatement of any single technicians but enough to know and make wise decisions helped by their technicians of any fields.

Years ago the founder and CEO of a historic mass distribution company was used to visit potential new warehouses with the senior head warehouseman alongside others just as an example of how things works in the recent past. A step at a time when the detachment between the management and the material activity happened China have started to gain ground and we in Europe have started to loose. I imaging the same happen in USA and other countries.
Sure, but the origin of this preprint is in the stochastic-classical/uncertain-quantum "postquantum-classical" theory the Oppenheim group is working on. Their theory is premised on a weakening of the gravitational interaction at short distances (it's "asymptotically free" and thus renormalizable) compared to perturbative quantum gravity (which is non-renormalizable by power counting). However, they discovered that the gravitational interaction in their theory can be too strong. More technically, in their diffusion limit they extract a different scalar potential than from GR's weak field limit, with the former growing (statistically) stronger with increasing radius. This in practice means even with a highly similar source, their theory predicts significantly different geodesics compared to General Relativity.

Rather than abandon the theory or complicate it such that it becomes compatible with fully classical GR, they solved a Schwarzschild-de Sitter (static spherical symmetry and an expansion term which "washes out" the extra-strength gravitational potential before it gets too strong) spacetime with a galactic mass (described simply and with some restrictions) and found that the geodesics are within a standard deviation or so of stable circular MONDian orbits. That result would relieve some of the immediate concern that their theory is unphysical, and drive them towards further study of its large-length-scale behaviour.

(In fact their result is better than some earlier attempts to make a generally covariant MOND by adding auxiliary gravitational fields to GR (see the overview by Famaey & McGaugh 2012). Postquantum-classical gravity was on a relativistic footing from the start, although exactly how diffeomorphism invariance and manifest covariance of formulations works in postquantum-classical gravity is really interesting, see <https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17844> if you want details)

It would be interesting to see how their theory does does -- it would have to be studied numerically -- with any sort of CDM halo. Various stellar binaries are also an obvious place to look, since for sufficiently wide ones, you can't "wash out" the extra strength of the scalar potential with an expansion term. (Wide binaries are really rough on MOND too, for comparable reasons).

> it doesn't (yet?) replace anything

The authors know that. From just after Eqn (23) in the preprint <https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.19459>:

"While this study demonstrates that galactic rotation curves can undergo modification due to stochastic fluctuations, a phenomenon attributed to dark matter, it is important to acknowledge the existence of separate, independent evidence supporting ΛCDM. In particular, in the CMB power spectrum, in gravitational lensing, in the necessity of dark matter for structure formation, and in a varied collection of other methods used to estimate the mass in galaxies"
You have dedicated facilities who let you sleep there and monitor you. But apnea can be easily seen, the person has gaps in breathing during some parts of sleep, gasping. Snoring can be one of the symptoms but reverse is not automatically true.

My boss was diagnosed with apnea in his 30s. It was so bad they didn't believe his first test results and had to redo it, off the charts. According to him it literally killed his father. Once he started using the device for sleeping he had 100x more mental and physical energy, everything was just easier.
I was curious about just temperature.

From this pdf[1] it seems fingers have 3-5 cold sensing points per square cm, with cold sensing points being about 10x as prevalent as warm sensing points.

So I was thinking about using a combination of a thermoelectric cooler[2] coupled to some thin metal rods, which have individually wound coils around them near the top. The rods would be mounted flush to allow touching all of them at once. The cooler would ensure the rods are normally cold, and the coils would provide induction heating.

Thus by changing which coils are activated, the different rods would be either cold or not, and due to the active cooling and relatively low thermal mass should change state quite quickly. At least that's the idea.

Though perhaps we just don't have enough sensitivity in our fingers to pick this up. And it wouldn't work well for a portable device due to power draw.

edit: Found this[4] paper where they try a temporal method instead of spatial method to use temperature to convey information.

I think I agree to some extent. I like parts of all 3 definitions presented here, and I feel the new definition loses some of the clarity by omitting the fact that we’re interested in a particular system at a time.

But I really like this blog post’s main thesis that the people are part of the system and a key part of your observability stack. You can have an objectively perfectly observable system that outputs all of its answers to your questions in Greek, and I won’t be able to make head nor tail of it and neither will pretty much any of my team. Just as nines don’t matter if the users aren’t happy, observability doesn’t matter if the team can’t understand and act on the answers.

I have spent the last year building out observability tooling and I expect to spend another year on it. I would say 70% of my problems to solve

It's absolutely fascinating how differences in brain structure can cause a wide variety of conditions. Somehow I was linguistically (especially reading and writing) way above average in my childhood, but suck at mathematics and motor skills. Due to my mother's health condition my brain was scanned after I was born, and they found some abnormalities with left lateral ventricle. Apparently it's located near basal ganglia, which makes me wonder if the abnormality has a connection to these conditions.

I think you're seriously undervaluing what libraries as an institution provide both as one of the few public spaces where people can just be, without having to spend money to justify their presence, alongside being a resource to access knowledge, with people trained in the art of suggesting good or at the very least not terrible resources to start people's inquiry into subjects they aren't familiar with, as well as being a unified voice acting in the public interest, to retain and expand those same offerings.

>I feel like this article also falls into "attention grabber with nothing foundational to offer".

>I stopped watching anything I am not deliberately searching for on YouTube, as they all seem to be MrBeast copy-cats.

you seem to inadvertently understand the point of the article and are in fact a subject of the supposed shift away from the Mr. Beast era. I think the issue is the article focuses too much on Mr. Beast, who is more of a metaphor for the actual trend than the actual subject of interest. When you cut out the biography you end up with 2 core points:

1. the "high energy" style of videos that feel like it's trying to dangle keys at you is shifting towards more authentic experiences (which apparently tiktok does)

2. people in general are shifting from long form to short form content with #1 as a factor. I do know Tiktok's biggest appeal is that it's really good at highlighting smaller creators, which works opposite to most other kind of social media.

That could have been the focus instead of going over Beast's entire life story and thought process on how he makes videos. But Polygon is ironically in that same bus, knowing most people will click to focus on Beast instead of the actual "era" in question.

The original title is "Deepfake Defense Tech Ready for Commercialization, Transition" but has been changed to "DARPA to launch efforts that will bolster defenses against manipulated media".

Pre-ordering / financially supporting the book. Due to my unfortunate citizenship and place of birth, you can’t — that is, until I find a way that at the same time complies with international sanctions, doesn’t sponsor the war, and won’t put me in prison for tax evasion.
So, don’t bother. If you want to support this book, just share it and help fix typos — that would be enough.

How would GrapheneOS target a specific person? You said "that guy would have root." To be frank, I do not think that's true.

He is definitely not "out by now." He said he would step down, but I am under the impression that gesture (and the original Twitter post) was retracted. He's still listed as a director with the Canadian Business Registry record on GrapheneOS Foundation:

https://ised-isde.canada.ca/cc/lgcy/fdrlCrpDtls.html?p=0&cor...

The GrapheneOS project, and its sub-projects, are a net positive. You can dislike any individual person or aspect of the project and still take from its success. "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

That said, you and I might just have differing views on the project and its management. I feel the project itself should be assessed/characterized on its security-focused initiatives first and foremost.

I would like to randomly chime in here regarding antidepressants and dreams.

On Prozac I sleep well but have 100% formulaic dreams. I don't like them. Each one is a mildly to moderately annoying situation that I cannot escape from.

For example, I'm in a building or neighborhood and I want to get away from some antagonist or who knows what. Using much effor and willpower I sort of get away but in that instant it resets and I'm back to getting away.

Citalopram (Celexa) though.....those dreams were the opposite. Wonderful and enjoyable with a bit of flying. Lucid too, I often realized I was in a dream and learned to manipulate it at will as well as some flying.

I wonder if this could help insomniacs. I had some pretty extreme burn out earlier this year that mentally made it so I couldn't sleep. I had to remove as much stress from life as I could and plan an aggressive routine of not working, relaxation, exercise, sleeping exactly on time and personal therapy with my wife to get my mind to shut down at night.

It is pretty grueling how bad it feels to not sleep so a cap like this would at least make it so the build up doesn't kill you from over collecting old fluid excessively.

Right on. Also just having the same high quality US civics classes, like I had when I was a kid, would help young people develop scepticism, learn the value of reading good books, often classic books, instead of hours on social media.
