...in rats:

Subjects were young adult (3–5 months) and aged (22–24 months) male F344xBN F1 rats obtained from the National Institute on Aging rodent colony managed by Charles River. F344xBN F1 rats are particularly useful for the study of aging and aging-associated conditions as aged rats of this strain remain relatively healthy and show good cognitive function at baseline. Unfortunately, female rats of this strain were not available from this or any other vendor at the time these studies were completed.
Show HN: Tarotread.ai – Your Go-To Digital Tarot Deck with AI Reader
Just launched tarotread.ai and I'm kinda stoked to see what you all think. It's a digital tarot reading experience that tries not to lose the vibe of a real tarot session. Wanted to blend some AI magic with the traditional tarot card feel.

Why I Made This: Always been intrigued by tarot cards and tech. Thought, why not mix them? The goal was to keep the personal touch and make it a bit modern with AI.

What It Does: You get to play around with digital tarot cards, and the AI throws back interpretations that are meant to be deep and thoughtful. Tried to keep it as real as it gets, minus the physical cards.

I Need Your Brain: Got it up and running, but I know it can be better. Here’s where you come in. Hit me up with:

What feels right, what doesn’t?
Any cool feature ideas?
General thoughts or a pat on the back?
Super keen to hear your feedback. It’ll help a ton to shape this up better.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts. Cheers!
That's not ethically sourced Lena. That's mansplained Lena. And it doesn't add anything new or better.

Srsly, just hand over the 10k. I'll get the job done! Then we'll have thousands of Lena alternatives! And they'll be objectively better!

If there is no reason, why were you fired?

You can easily google/ask chatgpt the answer to your questions - the answer is that some companies are nowadays very risk averse in laying people off precisely because they are afraid of discrimination lawsuits, which is why they generally have very solid documentation of performance problems (hence the reason for the modern Performance Improvement Plan as a papertrail)
Well, someone does; just like someone has to maintain, say, https://github.com/gijsdev/ublock-hide-yt-shorts
Normally I'd agree with you, the exception is if you're the poor "schmuck" that has to deal with the aftermath of said opinions or decisions.

I don't know about other developers & engineers but I've already learned quite a few lessons the hard way and don't need to burn my evenings and weekends knowingly doing something the wrong way.

You might say "That's OK, that's what they're paying you for" but if you've been in this situation, usually someone less knowledgable, bordering on clueless will draft a schedule and you'll be the guy to make it happen. So a bad technical decision turns into a pressure cooker which then turns into more stress. Which is similar to another poster who said (I'm paraphrasing) "each job will suck in different ways".
There is a dictionary. Just click on the bottom right arrow and click on the dictionary.
Nice! I would love to study how people hone in the correct color, and how close people get on the first try.

Do people binary search or scan a range?, how do they prioritize the color channels? etc
Yep, the designer taking into account the strengths and limitations of the UI toolkit being used and remembering to design for more than just the happy path (e.g. accounting for long strings and variable fonts) will get you 90% of the way. UIs localizing badly in my experience is often caused by rigid designs that make loads of assumptions and were only ever concerned with looking good in a mockup.
Are there instances of compilers with targets having both 128-bit ints and alignof(max_align_t) != 16?

I'm asking because I can't imagine writing a custom allocator against anything other than alignof(max_align_t).

Unless you're solely targeting <= C99… why use anything else?

hmm, I think the entire FIRE movement is basically about this, no? Some people want to just do gardening or whatever, but if your hobby is science, that's totally fine too. Not every kind of science can be done on the cheap, but basically any theoretical work can be.
Not just crap. It’s misinformation—whether direct or indirect—motivated by those who’d benefit from believing this.

The culture I find myself in, in 2024, is one of war; unrecognisable
from anything I've seen in "peaceful civilian life" before. It has no
resemblance to business, to markets, to value, to a lawful society of
fairness, utility and cohesion. What happened to us?
I would love a small visual indicator of which words were valid/invalid on the board. Maybe something as simple as valid words having slightly green letters, and invalid words having slightly red letters. Or a subtle little sparkle effect around letters that are part of a valid word.

Especially when I'm having to read my entire opponent's board upside down, I find parsing which words are valid/invalid to be a time-consuming, mildly frustrating, and not super fun aspect of the game.

Maybe that takes too much of the challenge out, but I don't find it's a part of the game I feel like I should have to be good at.

Other minor feedback:

- There's no cursor or focus indicator on the search box in the dictionary.

- The dictionary should open auto-focused. If I click "open dictionary" with the mouse, and start typing nothing happens. I have to click on the "search" box before I can type. This is especially annoying given the lack of feedback from the above point on the search box.
I know about Ansys Fluent, the CFD software. I'm guessing you are not talking about it. Can you provide a link to this software?
Ah is that how Geoguessers work? process of elimination through elements within a LIMITED dataset. Still impressive nonetheless, but I was wondering if I took a picture from my rooftop is Kenya how they would be able to guess
A parameter was changed from '2AMBCgIQBg' to 'CgIIAdgDAQ%3D%3D' which is just the correct base64 encoding they should have been using the entire time.

I don't think this was a hostile action by Google. An engineer probably just fixed a bug with input validation which broke the malformed requests Invidious was sending.

>If there is no reason, why were you fired?

Behause they can? To cover their ass? I duuno.

I'm asking since I live in an EU country where you can get laid off for no reason and employers usually provide no exact reason in writing precisely to potentially avoid getting sued.

They just terminate your contract and let you know they terminate your contract by giving you your notice and that's that, you're gone in 30-90 days, no need to provide an explanation as to why they decided to terminate you since they're not required by law.

So I'm asking to know how it's like in the US if it's like here. If employers aren't required by law to provide termination reason, why would they?
I'm not saying using wood instead of concrete is bad. I'm just saying "build more houses and use wood" doesn't reduce emissions, it produces them. "Build more houses and don't use wood" of course produces more. But the distinguishing factor here is "use wood" not "build more houses".

Likewise planting trees to be used for industry instead of materials with worse emissions is good and planting forests is good but the two are largely unrelated as the kind of forest you want for restoration projects is different from the kind you can use for logging.

It's a bit like how there were news headlines about bees becoming endangered followed by tons of startups selling honey bees for greenwashing when honey bees are specifically the one species of bees that is nowhere near endangered because they are used at industrial scales.

We need to protect old growth forests but also expand them, because they're vital habitats that help protect biodiversity and maintain plant matter for sustainable carbon capture. We also need industrial wood plantations to produce wood we can use instead of more harmful building materials. We also need to reduce the overall need for building materials, e.g. by investing in long-term sustainable housing projects rather than McMansions with a lifespan of less than one generation.
I've run into this issue also, for the past week or so. I'd rather stop using reddit altogether than use it without a VPN.
Decades of fixing dialog templates in resource files disagree with any definition of the word "manageable".

Just for comparison, nowadays a shitton of desktop software doesn't look all too bad with just changing a gettext()-style list of strings, and not even touching the dialog definitions. You may argue that this is because the dialogs nowadays just look equally bad in all languages, but I'd disagree and anyway it definitely is an order of magnitude in "manageability".
It's some kind of run the Amiga in your browser thing. Worked allright on Firefox Mobile on Android for me.
Seems… Unnecessarily complicated:

> Copper and its alloys (brasses, bronzes, cupronickel, copper-nickel-zinc, and others) are natural antimicrobial materials.

> After incubation for one hour on copper, active influenza A virus particles were reduced by 75%. After six hours, the particles were reduced on copper by 99.999%. Influenza A virus was found to survive in large numbers on stainless steel.

> In a recent study, 75% of adenovirus particles were inactivated on copper (C11000) within one hour. Within six hours, 99.999% of the adenovirus particles were inactivated. Within six hours, 50% of the infectious adenovirus particles survived on stainless steel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_co...

Though I guess it's probably faster if it physically punctures the virus, and two hours is still a significant amount of time for infection to occur with a regularly shared surface.

Salt has a similarly fast effect on viruses:

> Whitlock found that salt killed off the bug 20 to 30 times faster than the copper did, reducing MRSA levels by 85 percent after 20 seconds, and by 94 percent after a minute.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/03/salt-vs-s...

Other than osmosis dessicating the virus, when the moisture dissolves the salt and then dries in a minute or two, the salt crystals physically puncture the virus's envelope, IIRC.

https://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2020/10/u-of-a-researcher-work...

Though having a water-soluble and electrolytic desiccant covering everything obviously raises its own problems, and having tried this at the very start of the pandemic, I can say you really don't want to be breathing in salt dust all day.
Enumeration is traditionally defined as establishing a number of something. iota accomplishes just that. That is what it is there for. Same as every other language that supports enums.

Maybe you’re thinking of the new definition that has recently emerged from confused Rust users that’s just another name for sum types? That’s actually sum types, not enumeration, though.

Letting an error bubble up isn’t handling it. Still interested in seeing what other languages are doing to eliminate the boilerplate when handling errors. For some reason you forgot to speak to it…
Bad localisation is possible even going from English (US) to English (UK).

I remember a mac magazine from my youth complaining that Apple was wasting unnecessary space by localising the deleted items folder as "Wastebasket" when the Americans had "Trash" and in both countries "Bin" would be valid and even more compact.

(It is now called "Bin" on my machine, I don't think I even noticed the change — we're no longer stuck with 640x480 displays where every letter counts so the change didn't matter when it happened).
Unless it's half-assed, clumsy and short-sighted, and we are stuck with it forever, because standard. Until one's implementation becomes a standard thanks to the fact it wins as a library (as jQuery did), it should not be slyly forced into the language.
Because successfully creating a sense of urgency will help the maintainer make a hurried unwise decision. It's part of the whole pattern.

This reeks of a situation where the people in the management position(s) really aren't the right people for the job and having a logical discussion or trying to explain how or why something should be done differently falls on deaf ears (or worse, antagonizes them).

Maybe I'm projecting from my own experiences but this usually is because the leadership has a "top down" mentality, "we know better because we are in this role" and your other team members who are likely less experienced than you can't tell the difference between "dissenting with evidence" vs. "being contrary".

Seems like the best plan is to keep your eyes open for other opportunities when it's no longer tolerable.
Kind of silly. None of this measures the stuff that matters in the current context .

Checklists are nice, but they do not solve all problems

Yes, therapy helps tremendously. Just as with everything, there is a base system and then a set of overrides programmed in the brain, which is why we can override a fight-or-flight response and don't scurry away from any shadow like an insect does.

However, there is research to suggest that neurotic people have more active amygdala than average. So yes, we can override our panic, and yes, we can learn to do it better, but there is a gotcha: all these overrides tend to fail at the most inopportune moment. And that is when already overwhelmed by stress.

Yes, exactly that. So much stuff just vanishes, it's prudent to simply download everything by default. Whether that's a video with yt-dlp, or a webpage with singlefile or other tools, save it all.

I wish I had better tools for simply saving everything I see on the internet at all times. The disk-space cost would be trivial in the era of terabyte drives, and simply never worrying about link-rot would be huge.
Out of curiosity, was this comment generated by an LLM (at least partially)?

The wording gives that kind of feel and now I'm wondering if my feeling around it is at all accurate.
>For the most part the terminology within the code and code comments is adjusted from master and slave to instead using controller and target (or client).

So more useless changes to try and cure imaginary offenses?
It seems to me that it's only the software industry that's intent on purging words. 'Blacklist' is still in wide use even on progressive news outlets.
I have heard secondhand of a layoff (I believe at Evans & Sutherland) where they were doing a large layoff in one day. They began with the managers that were being let go. When those were gone, there was nobody to tell their subordinates whether they still had jobs. So they force logged everyone off of the network. If you could log back on, you still had a job.

That wasn't intentionally impersonal. It just worked out that way because of poor implementation. But it was still pretty bad.

This was in the 1980s or 90s - I think 80s.
This is very true, if everyone used it, no one could use it soon enough.

If the people predicting re-onshoring of production are correct (same people are predicting generally the collapse of China from demographics, which is a tad dramatic), companies need to get used to paying more for labor.

Globalization is coming to an end. An unparalleled period of worldwide navigational stability and political stability enabled indirect access to labor markets of a vastly larger size. Why is that? Because the USA is increasingly not seeing value as the world's police, because increasing totalitarian aggression from China/Russia, from inevitable stress due to climate change.

There was also demographic bulges from the boomers in this period, compounded with both-parents/partners work that also increased the labor supply.

Re-onshoring manufacturing, combined with the demographic bombs in China, Korea, Germany, Russia and the lesser demographic shrinks virtually everywhere else will mean that labor supply will decrease, and companies better get used to paying the worker bees more and the financial wizard CEOs less.

You know, unless AI and Robotics waves their magic wand, but even then ... things are going to change.
On a serious note, since asbestos is fibrous, with asbestos it's the entire volume of the material that can be problematic, right? Adding a sub-micrometer thick layer of spikes probably isn't as bad.

We just had a fairly substantial discussion about maintainer burnout on the frontpage today and yesterday - I would ask, is this a good use of the patch reviewers' time? (I would say probably not.)
I get by on working 8 hours a week.

Granted that's because I have disabilities.

But I also have automations I built, which let me survive and even thrive.

Before I had the automations I was regularly homeless.

I'm really interested making this possible for more people.

As for unneeded cattle to be culled, I believe we can create AI that doesn't think that way about humans.

We can create AI that see us like precious family that needs guidance, education, and love.

I have already worked with that kind of AI. It's not smart enough to be manipulative, but it's smart enough to be helpful.

Whether or not evil AI gets built, these kind of human loving AIs will exist, and they'll fight the evil AI with us.

Whoever wins or loses in that battle will depend on how hard we fight. It's not a foregone conclusion. And if we don't fight with true AI allies on our side, then our survival chances decrease.
That explains the listed price, it doesn't explain the disparity to the transcript. Given the comments, I presume he said a different figure in the audio track than the transcript (and therefore subtitles) says?
I'm genuinely curious why a company would go out of their way to fire Americans in America...to hire folks on temporary visas. If you're going to do the first part, why not just hire people in the countries they are from? I understand the article says the folks on the visas are able to be paid less, but isn't the H1-B process long, complicated, expensive, and somewhat unpredictable? Surely it's cheaper to just outsource the work. Hell, it's probably cheaper to outsource the work and fly the folks to America for a few days every now and then to meet with clients.

I don't have strong feelings about what they should do, it just seems like what they're doing isn't really in anyone's interest. What am I missing?
I seem to be able to get it in around 7-8 guesses usually - based on a fairly good initial guess (85% or so) and the heuristic that if the percentage went up by 1 in the previous axis increment / decrement, that axis is now at the correct value. It's a really entertaining game. Kudos to the author!
Parentheses give a sensible parse for me (or nested further):

describe people and events from a distance instead of (dramatizing them, developing scenes in which the reader discovers what kind of people they are) instead of being told.
Earlier this year, a friend read my tarot cards, and it really got me thinking. It was like having a secret chat with the universe. I've always been amazed by how everything's connected, kind of like the mysteries of quantum physics.

Think of tarot as a special way to talk to the universe. My inner self acts like a translator, turning the cards into messages I can understand.

When we add AI to the mix, it's like throwing a surprise party with the universe. The AI doesn't just repeat old stories; it creates new ones right on the spot, making each reading fresh and exciting.

And the cool part? Sometimes the AI comes up with really wild ideas, like it's dreaming. It makes every reading a brand-new adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns.

Does AI dream about the stars? haha
>Passkeys are a new way to sign in to apps and websites. They’re both easier to use and more secure than passwords, so users no longer need to rely on the names of pets, birthdays or the infamous “password123.”[1]

Hmmm... is THIS the vectors people are considering when they make these things? I mean, it makes sense, but it does put it a whole different perspective.

Am I correct to think that these aren't real problems if you use passphrases instead of some cliched password?

Because you can steal my phone and get through the lock screen to access all my stuff with the passkey, but you can't get my master password out of brain lest you put a probe in it.

That completely ignored the fact that they went out of their way to fire the American employees. If what you're saying was a reasonable answer they wouldn't have hired Americans in the first place.
moderately convinced openai is a huge scam by now.

I think they've hit a plateau or something. Compare the recent Sam Altman interview by Lex Fridman with the one only a few months prior. The dude's in limbo. You can almost hear the legal team breathing down his neck not to make unsubstantiated, deceptive claims... They got high on their own supply and now have to cut their product with ground glass to make the same dose hit harder. There is some uncomfortable AI sobriety incoming.
Yes, it will hurt your career. Not irreparable but there is downside risk.
