What I liked about the whole lucid dreaming scene is that they already figured this out, but are using different terminology to describe it.

You are exhausted, not relaxed, after a lucid dream. And you always need a second sleep session with REM sleep after that.

But you make a lot of progress on internal reflections, because your subconciousness fills in the emotional blind spots your alter ego cannot grasp (yet). I think that's why a lot of people in lucid dreams can relate so much with the 2 systems theory of Daniel Kaneman, and why there's so much debate about it.
They are reliable, and yet they have snafus. For example, my Yaris came with a fuel tank that had a defective valve, and I had to trickle gas into it instead of fueling it normally. I basically had the trickle at 300 ml/s or so. The dealership replaced the whole tank for me under warranty as aygos and yarises now have monolithic plastic contraptions for their fuel tanks and you can’t just replace the inlet valve or what have they. It’s been solid and low maintenance since.

But the dealer acknowledged they had seen this as a somewhat systemic problem.

Then in winter, I had my HUD just shut off with no explanation. It came back a day later, worked ok since.

Then again, you need to treat the bottom of your car as soon as you buy it because it tends to corrode like mad. You don’t want your car to disintegrate on you in five years, do you?

I gather higher end models like RAV4 get more QC, and mine are mostly first world problems, but you can see repair-unfriendly and “just buy a new one” attitude creeping in.
What you are talking about is the changes possible through long term psychotherapy.

Not unrecognisable but more accepting of who you are.
A spread on interest rates means you can e.g. borrow some JPY at 2% interest, spend it to purchase USD, then loan the USD to someone else at 6% interest.

After you pay back the 2% interest to the original lender, you're left with 4% as profit.

This usually happens when one government pushes banks for lower interest rates (to stimulate the domestic economy).

It creates a large volume of trades buying USD with JPY, and by doing so causes the JPY currency to become less valuable relative to USD.
I haven't read 3BP myself (but I have read you all discussing it numerous times), so take the following with a grain of salt:

Might this be a 2002 foreshadowing of the 2008 novel, in which GCJ-02 was meant as an anti-sophon measure?

(I checked to see when CIA had a network liquidated, but that was 2010, so —unless someone's been applying a temporal obsfucation algo— any earthling paranoia leading to metaphorical wallfacers was already in the zeitgeist before that action was taken)

sounds like a dos vector. is there a lot of abuse of this?
Improvement ideas: let the user set their country. If I live in Germany, and I don't want to bother with VPN, knowing that a TV show is available in Argentina and 30 other countries is not important.

Also, I don't think this takes care of the case where some seasons of a show is available but not the others. Maybe that's also the reason for false negatives in some cases (others mentioned this).

Another thing: be able to search by subtitles and audio. In our household, we speak three languages, and I can't watch shows in 2 out of 3 with the standard location. It's also great for people learning languages (common VPN pitch).

Overall, great stuff!
The mobile view's information density is very low, I can see 1.7 tiles, so I always need to scroll.

Tapping on the tiles doesn't do anything apart from changing the background.

Some more preset selections would be nice like "Sitcom".

Recommendations based on the selected movie would be also great, for example when I'm watching HIMYM, I'd not mind seeing where Friends is available (it's basically the same jokes but a decade apart with different actors).

That won't last. As stated in the Lightning Network whitepaper [0], it will need much bigger blocks (it mentions up to 133MB) to scale.

I'd say that it's more a statement of China doing significantly worse than expected more than anything else.

You can be sure that the day the USD isn't viewed as the global currency, all this printing will come bite back hard and probably cause a collapse.
No skilled engineer I've met has had any issue turning a Figma design into a HTML/CSS. That's their job. If someone protested that they couldn't reproduce a Figma design without it spitting out HTML/CSS for them, that would be a serious red flag about their abilities.

No, it's just a tier where it doesn't JIT. You can build it for your computer, too.
One thing I believe is that the less you're involved in fantasy, the more realistic your dreams are. So if you're a simple, practical man without beliefs in supernatural, your dreams will be about daily life; but if you read fantasy and have superstitious beliefs and watch a lot of movies, you will have more complex and bizarre dreams. I mean, it's hard to dream about something you haven't encountered.
I thought this was a security fix? Let's say I find a problem in ssh, I don't update it, call it 'newssh' and tell people to use an alias to point ssh to newssh do i? I just fix the app.
I used to pay for a service that only ran the Netflix country detection through a VPN, so we could switch countries easily. But Netflix cracked down on this service and VPNs about 5 years ago and it stopped working. Oh well.

Ukraine's reduction is someone else's problem. For some reason, Russian Federation did act like it was a nursery home for ex-Soviet independent states, but there's no obligation to put their interests past our own.
You don't have to look very far.

A systemic review of 26 studies [1] in 2019 found that:

"Although variability in the cannabis products used, outcomes assessed, and study quality limits the conclusions that can be made, modest reductions in cognitive performance were generally detected with higher doses and heavier lifetime use."

The American Journal of Psychiatry [2]:

"Long-term cannabis users showed cognitive deficits and smaller hippocampal volume in midlife. Research is needed to ascertain whether long-term cannabis users show elevated rates of dementia in later life."

This study published in JAMA [3]:

"...among 3385 participants with cognitive function measurements at the year 25 visit, 2852 (84.3%) reported past marijuana use, but only 392 (11.6%) continued to use marijuana into middle age. Current use of marijuana was associated with worse verbal memory and processing speed; cumulative lifetime exposure was associated with worse performance in all 3 domains of cognitive function. After excluding current users and adjusting for potential confounders, cumulative lifetime exposure to marijuana remained significantly associated with worse verbal memory..."

Yes, creatures definitely die with sleep deprivation. Obviously you won't try that on humans, but for mices it's a known phenomena, they die quick enough. So sleep is necessary for basic body chemistry at least.

I have the benefit of writing mostly C++ where there is really no globally agreed idiomatic naming. At $JOB we use snake_case naming for C++ functions and objects (as opposed to types), which also matches the python naming convention we use.

Snake case is not idiomatic for xml, but we still happen to use it for leaf config options.

The main benefit is reducing ambiguity to what maps to what across files. Ease of grepability is also an advantage.
Fixed block subsidy would have a risk of supply outpacing the demand. Then the price would drop structurally which could cause "run on bank" and wholesale abandonment.

Decreasing amount of bitcoin supply means that eventually the supply would fall below demand, which ensures rising price.

Every 4 years when supply and the demand reach equilibrium, the supply is halved which triggers new price rise and renewed interest. The entire crypto ecosystem follows.

Bitcoin halvings are THE reason crypto is a thing. Not just a curiosity for some techies.

We have maybe two cycles left ahead of us. Then crypto will become just digital gold randomly fluctuating with interest from the asset holders.

Regular software can crash in the middle of a network request too (e.g.: someone accidentally unplugged the wrong network cable, power outage, etc).

Crash-only software is likely to test recovery of such situation.
If that was the case how do you explain that that pipeline never went live?

It's an interesting idea but I think the usefulness would be greatly enhanced if it could handle json arrays; most needed json structures contain array elements in my experience
If I wasn't sleeping, that would be an emergency. Not sleeping will end a life.

Whatever is going on, whatever I was doing or not doing. I would (try to) sleep in a random field without any "need xyz for 3+ days (other than water and a multivitamin, fasting)" even if it's prescription or life assumption whatever. Just to see. Just to sleep.

Unexpected and unnoticed things can dramatically effect sleep.
> with its per-weight activation functions

Sounds like something which could be approximated by a DCT (discrete cosine transform). JPEG compression does this, and there are hardware accelerations for it.

> can make use of fast matmul acceleration

Maybe not, but matmul acceleration was done in hardware because it's useful for some problems (graphics initially).

So if these per weight activations functions really work, people will be quick to figure out how to run them in hardware.
It's much better than publisher or photoshop for creating UI designs because it allows you to create reusable components that adjust properly when you resize them, etc. That's incredibly useful even if the output format is a flat png.
> Quick to keep rates high

Well, compared to most other countries I know about, US rates work a little differently.

Homeowner mortgages are (AFAICT) almost all fixed for the full term of the loan. So a rate hike doesn't immediately take money out of the pockets of a large proportion of the population. It may slow new home finance agreements, and affect a lot of other credit agreements, including the ability of business to borrow, but it doesn't kick a huge number of people right in the domicile.

Whereas here in Aus and in the UK (two places I've held mortgages) fixed terms are only available on a relatively short basis (1-5 years) and people won't take them out at all if they feel the rates are already a little elevated (like now), as there are penalties for refinancing in the fixed period. So interest rate rises directly impact people's pockets and threaten their housing stability.

So over here mortgage holders really do hate rate rises and feel personally aggrieved when the central bank raises them.

This situation conceivably makes tackling inflation easier - public spending plummets when rates go up - but it is massively unpopular.
I have no problem hacking up some figma design in html / react. The problem is that it isn't reusable, it isn't clean components, styles are copy pasted from figma to the component and unlined with BEM.

The problem isn't a skill issue on my end, I could build it cleanly, I just don't know why I would when the other 1200 engineers I work with don't have any incentive to do so.

Figma is a shit version of Dreamweaver, a html based WYSIWYG from the 00s.
I guess it was lucky that it was designed quite badly for the stated purpose and it was actually designed as investment vessel.
The time it takes for some systems to shut down doesn't make sense to me.

My Alpine laptop takes about 3 seconds to shut down (which, honestly, seems like a lot of time). systemd-based system will give daemons 90000ms to shut down, which is an absurdly high amount of time (what kind of service can't exit in a few seconds?).

Honestly, I think that mostly the kernel needs to flush its caches, SIGTERM all processes and then halt. There's no reason for this to take more than 1s on a modern system, and if something takes too long to handle SIGTERM, then it'll go through recovery next time.

If you are comparing the energy cost of LLMs, consider that the "training cost" of the human brain is the accumulated evolutionary activity of the last 4 billion years.

Human inference is much more efficient though - we run at about 100 Watts[0], probably a lot less for the thinking alone.

Yeah, IA downloads are notoriously slow. I happen to know because I downloaded archives of a defunct website from IA.
>But enough about all that security blabla. The tool is also a lot more fun to use than sudo. For example, by default it will tint your terminal background in a reddish tone while you are operating with elevated privileges. That is supposed to act as a friendly reminder that you haven't given up the privileges yet, and marks the output of all commands that ran with privileges appropriately.

WHAT AM I READING?? Why can't the systemd developers just be normal?

I also suspect that this will interact terribly with anyone who uses a certain kind of terminal theme. Do they not know that you can have these "nice to have" features, off by default, so that anyone who wants can enable them and anyone else is never bothered by them?
Seems like China will do as well as the US lets it. It has little domestic consumption and is reliant on exports to the US.

Maybe China will have strong consumers in the future but then it'll have to ensure it can compete with US wages which erodes its competitiveness.

House always wins.
100% agree with this. there are ways to jump into apples walled garden though. in a way that they wouldn't be able to stop or patch without fundamentally changing their Eco-system approach.

But 100% everyone should be able to build and swap the agent on their device. but it's not your device. its apples. they let you use it. Same with YouTube and our data. it's not really ours. try get your YouTube watch data. it will take 2 weeks by then its 2 weeks old. you can do nothing with that data.

much bigger conversations needed that are not happening.
then again, you can just grow it yourself w/o risk of being shot

Which implies being happy with the status quo.
I have spent weeks recently working on a little side project converting MIDIs to colored children’s piano sheet music. I am most of the way there but have been dragging my feet on building the web ui specifically because I was unsure how to render the notes in a flexible way that could look good on multiple devices. This looks like it could be a good jumping off point, and I fully intend to give it a try.

My daughter absolutely loves my Little Tikes piano from the 1980s but all the sheet music I find online, even for the newer Little Tikes pianos, have different colors associated with notes. I have built up a small library of simple MIDIs, and my intent is to have some preset toy pianos to choose from or let the end user specify colors-to-notes manually.

FYI, Trump has vowed to purge the executive branch of unloyal employees, aiming for unitary rule during his 2nd term. It’s unclear how much of this his conservative SC majority will allow, but…the norm of stable, institutional independence might be gone soon.
Satoshi wrote extensively about what he imagined Bitcoin could become, including in emails to me that I later published. Certainly, what was done to the original Bitcoin completely voided Satoshi's goals and offers an abject lesson in the difficulty of keeping institutions on-track over time.

Note that the same tactics that were used to wreck Bitcoin are now being deployed against Nix, as the open source community has struggled to learn the right lessons from Bitcoin.

> it makes perfect sense to me that that's the feature the market converged to

The market certainly didn't converge to that outcome. It was the result of relentless political scheming and psychological manipulation of a small number of people, combined with criminal tactics like DDoS attacks. The winners of that fight have then tried to retcon what happened as some sort of natural or obvious outcome, but then why did it require so much viciousness and illegal behaviour?

The market value of all cryptocurrencies seems to move in tandem, or at least did many years ago when I last cared about this topic. It reflects nothing more than the general hype and brand awareness around Bitcoin and crypto. Certainly a "store of value" that can't directly be used to purchase things is worthless, as any government that wishes to void that store of value and force users back into their own currencies can do so overnight by simple legal fiat.

Very smart to open up the project from the start to make collaboration possible.

I have ambivalent feelings about this project. On one hand, I think this is great, it approaches things in the right way, and I think the project has a big chance of being very successful.

On the other hand, the more successful mathematics in Lean becomes, the more entrenched a type-theoretic outlook on formalised mathematics will become. I think that is highly problematic as it makes the expression of theorems and theories more involved and complicated than it needs to be. This is not a stopping block, and people like Buzzard can just power through this. Also, that's just my opinion. I am trying to go with Practal a different path and prove this opinion to be true, but that will take time.
Second paragraph of linked page already states: "Until Arti is more mature, we recommend it for experimental use only."

Show HN: We made a simple daily Fact or Fiction game
The story

For people based in Edinburgh (Scotland), you may know Codebase, the legendary co-working space and tech incubator. Few years ago, when the local coffee shop was called Elm cafe and run by Ally, her coffee machine would have a new fun fact written on it every day. All one had to do was to guess, is the statement Fact or Fiction? And Ally, also a great storyteller would reveal to you, whether you are in luck today.

Some people (me) liked the joy of learning something new every day so much, that we decided to take it online. It was around that time when Wordle became a thing, so we thought why not, wouldn’t it be nice to have a place on the Internet which would provide a daily fact or fiction? Yes! We teamed up with Ally and made this little online project called DailyFoF, we got pretty far, however life came in a way, we all got busy and we never launched the project publicly. It got abandoned. The months went by and David, who’s the Codebase's very own head quizmaster, stepped up and took on the content creator's hat.

And so it all came the full circle and we’d like to invite you to dailyfactorfiction.com

Give it a go, learn something new and have fun! If you have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or found anything that does not look or feel right, please share it with us and we’ll iterate on making it better every day.
From the Linux Mint blog (https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4675), it seems this is the crucial issue.

"They will integrate well. If we let you choose a desktop theme, ALL installed applications will support it."

So it seems like these Xapps will be built for Mint's desktop themes instead of the Gnome design language. Hopefully the work will be worth it for the Mint project.
Eh, it's a pretty huge step forward from working with PSD's and trying to convert them to designs. I guess it depends on your designers and how closely you work with them to make sure the Figma designs make sense.

But for us (at Kitemaker), we designed a bunch of parameterized components in Figma and then implemented them in code so that they match up. Then when there's a screen with a button, I can click the button in Figma, see the properties and convert it to React. It's pretty quick

If you're using flex for your layouts, it matches pretty well with Figma's auto-layout stuff. So you can click on a container and see that it's a flex row with some padding and justify-content center. When I start seeing components in a bunch of nested containers, I know I need to pay attention, because just doing the usual flex stuff will result in things that don't quite line up due to whatever.

You can define a bunch of colors in Figma and have them matchup in code. So when I see something is gray10, I know I use var(--gray10) in code. There are probably more things that I take for granted that I can't think of off the top of my head.

That being said, it's not a magic bullet. If the designs don't have reusable components, with standard colors and everything is laid out by hand with specific pixel values instead of auto layout, then it's probably the same as just designing from a PSD.

Fuck devmode though. I don't get it, as far as I can tell they just took functionality that existed before and split it into two tabs so I'm constantly clicking between them to find what I'm looking for. I get that there's some pricing thing or whatever, but I would honestly just rather pay more for the old interface.

tl;dr I like it, I think it's a step forward from the PSD days. Maybe your designer is holding it wrong, maybe you are holding it wrong or maybe it's just not for you.
Wow - it sounds very good on paper. It supports most of the features I would need to migrate to it also.

I think there was a slump for a while. Usenet has probably been going relatively strongly through it though, but it comes with a cost which means it's not a direct alternative to torrents with their seeding-and-ratio-based communities.
