I like it. Reminds me of BMI. It's easy to slip into the warm soothing waters of alcoholism and not even realize it. Knowing that killing a six-pack every three days is on scale with alchoholism can keep you honest with yourself. You can fool yourself into thinking your weight is in check but in reality your two pounds away from being obese (defined by BMI) and developing the associated health risks.
So far I have found this to be much less the case with Flutter than RN. With RN I came to dread upgrading anything more than a few months after starting a new app.

First of all this was a study of women who worked with asbestos in an industrial setting. Not casual trace exposure.

Secondly, this only establishes a correlation (and a relatively weak one at that). But there are lots of other plausible links between choosing to work in a low income asbestos industry and ovarian cancer.
Why they can't find the original materials used by Apollo? And conduct evolvement based on that.

Would you agree that one difference between modern penal mandatory labor (modern slavery as you would say) is that for most prisoners, their bondage ends at the end of their prison sentence? And that they are not legally owned as property like in chattel slavery?
It also ought to be pretty shocking, if things are so bad at Boeing that multiple whistleblowers dying is just an expected thing as a result of statistics.

What I'm saying specifically is that only a few samples of talc over many years ever tested positive for any asbestos at all. It is likely that most of the plaintiffs were never actually exposed at all.

The burden of proof in civil cases is "a preponderance of the evidence", which is basically legalese for 51% likely or better.

That said, it is quite possible that pure talc itself is dangerous to epithelial cells but that's not well established yet.
"As far as I am aware, the same is true in Flint. I do not understand the distinction you are drawing."

If that was true, how could Veolia - a private company - ever come into a position to be even partly responsible for the disaster? Did all the wrong-doing happen inside the buildings? Of course not, and before you say Veolia had no responsibility: If they hadn't they would have paid no compensation.

"Although lead pipes have not been used here since 1973, they can still be found in old buildings."

As long as it is not a rental building the state's responsibility ends where the pipe enters the house. We do not have any lead pipes in public water supply anymore and for rental buildings we have mandatory water analysis.

Also we are talking about a limit of 5 μg/l where the us limit is three times that.

The occasional home owner that refused modernization could hardly be described as a water crisis.
Not so far as I know, but mandatory tipping (i.e. adding a service charge to a bill) is illegal in many countries, and it wouldn't surprise me if having a tip screen on a payment terminal were against local regulations.
Perhaps, but I've tried some rural landscapes without any sign and it came up with English signs as a hint for pointing England/Wales.

Even photos with signs in Irish were pointing to England, it's half funny, half offensive.

Interesting. For directions and mapping, a font that showed turns, highway markers, and road signs could help a person "think" in terms of direction or orientation.

Since they are recognizable glyphs, we shortcut having to learn grammar and vocabulary; meaning is already "natively encoded" in the existing language.
Neat. That's really what I was asking about. Parks near me usually have a fountain, but only if the park is large enough to have a bathroom with plumbing (as opposed to no bathroom for single ball fields and playgrounds, or a pit toilet for more remote parks). What I don't see often is a truly public drinking fountain that's out in plain view.
They had Core. Base is their new attempt at sort of a "standard" lib. Not all OCaml-ers use JS libs though. There are some Batteries users out there. When I do Advent of Code, I almost always try to do it with OCaml's built in standard lib.
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think most people can handle this properly.

Many people who "step out of the bubble" are actually just innocently stepping into an echo-chambers of pure unhinged delusion. This is how you end up with people taking horse dewormer to cure covid and implementing race quotas to fix racism.

Delimited Generators – A more natural API for JS generators
This is amazing! I have tried using checklists and the like in trello and iPhone reminders/notes but like you say it is tedious to repeat.

Growing up my mother was a checklist fanatic. Any time we would go camping or traveling there was the packing checklist. Grocery staples checklist. There was the yearly checkup/vision/dentist checklist for all her kids. Weekly chore checklist. Bills paid checklist. I’d not be surprised if she had a checklist-making checklist.

Her technology skills were limited, she made all of these with some crapware create-a-card software and printed them out on sheets of address label stickers. But I’ll be damned if we ever forgot to pack anything on road trip.

I’ll definitely give this a try.
I will slightly disagree with your first point. I also partially agree though. I agree that every smart phone has most of the hardware of the Rabbit R1. But, just because the hardware is there, that doesn't mean the hardware manufacturer provides APIs/callbacks/hooks to third party developers for every capability of that hardware and operating system. The software developer has to build within the confines of the OEM. Building your own hardware, or at least building your own firmware and OS for open hardware, lets you do more with that same hardware.

Now, if we're talking about the OEMs building Rabbit-like features into their phones then that I agree with, and I hope (and assume) that's what will happen now. Rabbit has already shown some features that our smartphones should be able to do quite easily, such as sending a selected photo by text or email. My hope is that Rabbit pushes Apple and Google to build some of the low hanging fruit into their phones/operating systems soon.
Jane Street is one of the slower market making firms and generates a significant share of revenue from being everywhere on everything (MUCH easier said than done). You want to trade some Canadian lumber ETF? Jane Street will be there. Some bond product with constituents that trade across 3 different trading sessions? Jane Street's active in that market. None of that is to say they don't have any presence in major products or don't have real short term alphas/edges of course.

They've never been at the forefront of latency games, like Jane Street isn't the firm sweeping equity markets since they have the fastest radio network out of CME (dubious value) or getting their quotes first-in-line every time.
> The only silver lining is that the event is 250 million years away, per the prediction.

This is not in any way about modern climate change.
Yes, it is. There was a pop-sci book that came out twenty years ago, The Life and Death of Planet Earth, which contains some speculation about the consequences of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_and_Death_of_Planet_E.... They give a low-end estimate of 500-800 million years before plate tectonics stop. Net effect would be the planet becomes uninhabitable by modern day plants and animals well before the sun goes red giant and kills off everything else.
That sounds like per hour. If you're curious about how the whole thing works parts of it are fairly above ground - community support subreddits and advertising websites with rates for example.
> The economy as a whole is doing well, but people aren't

Yeah, that means your measurement of "the economy" is lying. And that you are in a recession.

There's no mixing of technical and colloquial terms here. All that is there is a lying indicator. And if people insist that incorrect number is real, those people are lying too.

There's no credible estimates remotely alleging ~500 million vacant homes.

Excess PRC square footage in housing inventory is enough for 100-150m people. About 10 years of urbanization headroom. PRC continuing trend to urbanize from 65%->80/80% still has to resettle 200-300m to urban areas. This is without accounting for deprecated housing stock. Yes reality of speculation and (mis)allocation is much messier, but PRC is still 100-150m short on urban housing, they just also have a very wasteful 100-150m decade long housing runway.

For reference 80% urbanized US is short on ~6M homes, that's 2% relative to population. PRC gunning for 80% urbanization = PRC is net short 7-10%. Realistically much higher since a lot of people in rural stuck in very shitty housing stock. I mean that's their choice, and economics of relocating people who can't afford new homes is going to be... interesting. But part of urbanization goal is to move 100s in prexisting shitty tier5 homes into modern housing. Especially elderly whose going to be in <2 people households.

Personally, it's easier for me to properly generate and use passwords than it is to use passkeys. Passkeys have all sorts of friction that I find problematic.

I can see how passkeys may be better for more casual users. People who can't or don't want to handle passwords properly, people who really only log into things from one or two machines, etc. They should have that option. I just hope that I can continue to avoid the extra hassle they bring for my use cases.
Thank you so much! I'm also excited to see what people develop

Not that it should matter, but they are also VERY expensive. There is a new standard for NCPDP (how pharmacies and payers send transactions for payment) coming out in the next few years called F6. One of the big changes over the current standard is drugs that cost more than $1M can be processed in a single transaction. https://www.cms.gov/files/document/fact-sheet-11-2022.pdf

I don't see why a restaurant being a chain would automatically exclude it from ever being thought of as "fancy", but I guess it depends on your definition of fancy. Serving high-quality, well-prepared food in a decently high-class environment would be "fancy" to me. Would Fogo de Chão (a $50-$70USD/person Brazilian steakhouse) be considered fancy? Nobu is often also considered a fancy restaurant and is also a chain.

Does a "fancy restaurant" require absolute uniqueness? How do you define a "fancy restaurant"?
and the people suing used J&J baby powder their entire lives and put it on their infants. J&J also hid its findings from federal regulators, which doesn't make them seem as innocent as you're making them out to be.
No worries at all! Thanks for the encouragement :)
The incumbent approaches usually benefit from a ton of research that might or might not be transferrable to the newcomer.

Even if many optimizations also apply to the new approaches, taking advantage of them takes a lot of work. For example, I have not yet implemented KV caches for my nanoGPTs that I'm fooling around with.
If it helps, talc and asbestos deposits occur naturally in close proximity. Enough so that regular testing for asbestos is required.

I'm curious about the early phase since you mentioned originally it was for your own use. How was it setup at that point? a web app with a public url too or something else? if you don't mind sharing
Poor people are fat because they don't cook well, not because food is expensive. Good cooking is expensive, and bad cooking is available. Healthy basic cooking is cheap. Food is so cheap that you can eat when you can't afford to anything else! In other words, obesity is cheap entertainment, not a good cost issue.

It recognized 2/7 of the pictures I used. The two success are a really well known place in Rome (the roman forum, although it got the arch wrong) and a small but very touristic city. It guessed the country right but was far from the place in 4 cases: landmarks were visible but they are not hugely touristic. In the last case the country was wrong, but it was a picture from my office with no landmark.
It’s not that, honestly

I prefer to see how far irrationality can go, on even the best forums. Because a lot of times this is exactly what people have to go through who have “built a better mousetrap” but the world doesn’t “beat a path to their door”, not even their peers care, depending entirely on how it is presented
Yep. J&J seems like they didn't do anything wrong.
Hi,

One of the authors of PhastFT here. Thank you for your interest.

We went out of our way to configure FFTW for AVX-512. The Rust bindings don't do it, but the FFTW itself in the benchmark does.

It's worth noting that with FFTW you have to choose between building it for your CPU and making it non-portable, or targeting the lowest common denominator of CPU features so that it runs everywhere but much slower. Meanwhile PhastFT detects the available CPU features at runtime, and will utilize the fastest CPU features without sacrificing portability.

Lastly, we are currently working on support for interleaved format [1]. That should ship in the next release.

I mean, they're free to do whatever they, I just don't enjoy it; the frequency in which tips are being asked for now is just annoying, I didn't really think that's even a controversial statement.

But I do kind of dispute that it's just a "self esteem" thing. Often the "no tip" option is smaller and harder to spot, and I think that some people genuinely do not realize that "not tipping" is an option, and it's not like these kiosk manufacturers don't know this.

EToys and Scratch were made by the same people but with different goals. EToys was made to allow children to express scientific ideas while Scratch was made to allow the participants of MIT's Media Lab computer clubhouses to express themselves creatively as part of the remix culture.

In EToys, as in the earlier Vivarium project, children were supposed to create all their own objects from scratch (ironically). In Scratch the use of clip art, scanned material and other people's project is encouraged. In fact, "scratch" is a dj term for a certain way of mixing music. I can't find the exact definition since Google insists on pointing me to the software instead.
That's cool! There's one other feature I would love to have that current to-do lists don't capture: follow-ups. Basically, for a task such as "email Mr. and Mrs. XYZ", have the ability to snooze the tasks for a few days, if they haven't responded. There are many tasks that aren't done just because you did your part of it...
I'm a big advocate for running a NAS, but using a service like Dropbox means there's one fewer personal device that needs babysitting.
React class components from 2014 literally work without much changes (bar 2-3 APIs like componentWillMount & componentWillReceiveProps). No one forces you to use the new stuff.

Every non-dead project is evolving and is adding new things. Even behemoths like Java or C++. But maybe Ember.js is technically not dead and is mostly the same? I don't know, it's bad and I prefer rolling with the tide.

Omnifocus has repeatable tasks and you can pick whether they repeat based on the due date (once a month, like the mortgage), or on completion date (I use this for cleaning chores, so if I'm late to clean the bathroom, don't tell me to do it in 2 days because it's Saturday, tell me to do it 1 week from now)

I'm imagining about 3/4ths ;)
It usually is a tree, just not a syntax tree. For example, the "if" special form in CL has the syntax:

(IF <text-expr> <then-expr> [<else-expr>])

But appearing in a macro expansion, it would just be a list where the first item was the symbol "IF" from the "COMMON-LISP" package. In addition, you could put e.g.

(IF foo bar baz biff quux)

Inside the body of a macro you would get a list that does not match the syntax of the "if" special form, despite superficially looking like such a list. This doesn't match anything that one would call an "AST" in other languages, which would enforce syntactical correctness of special forms.
It's funny that with a direct match to a precisely located photo in its database, it got the country right by comparing the architectural style, but still got the city wrong.
> Userspace encryption of user data has been almost universally rejected because there's no reasonable attack on it - Any attacker that has access to the data also has access to the encryption key.

So don't you mean there's no reasonable defense against an attack on it? If the "attack" is to just decrypt it with the decryption key the attacker also finds, that seems very reasonable. :-)
Part of the issue is that several of the mines that J&J sourced its talc from were known to have asbestos, which some of their tests discovered — and then we left it up to the company for the next 50 years to continue their own testing and disclosure… it strains credulity that some tests at eg Windsor Mines showed “rather high” levels of asbestos fibers and then they completely stopped finding fibers from the same mine later on.

A responsible company would have stopped sourcing talc from asbestos-containing mines in favor of many other slightly more expensive sources that never showed any asbestos. J&J didn’t.

That's not to say there aren't a bunch of shady lawyers filing suits on behalf of people who didn't actually have provable damages from the products - but I think it's okay to hold companies to very high standards in cases like this.

I don't mind sharing at all.

The nuts and bolts weren't too different from what it is today: Rails app deployed on Render with simple auth. Most of the work getting it ready for public consumption was generalizing the UX so it wasn't so specific to my way of thinking, polishing the look and feel, speeding it up, improving the auth, and other things you wouldn't really need for a personal app.
Integer addition, and indeed pretty much all operations, are also a loops over all bits, LZCNT is in no way at all unique here.

Where does the subsidiary get $6.5B from?
it kinda is.
Or put it another way - we're into the 4th decade of mainstream OSS success, and it's _still_ necessary to ask this question. That might give some clues that it's a difficult question with no current solution.

As you noted most of the common suggestions are either slimy, unsustainable, or simply don't work.

So I think you need to be clear on your objectives. Is it making OSS? It it making money? You can focus on one and then get maybe some of the other, but getting both appears (at least historically) to be both hard and rare.

For example selling software as "source supplied" is not OSS, but will likely improve your income stream. Or you can make pure OSS stuff, and get minor amounts of money via donations, support, whatever.

Both approaches are valid - you just need to decide which road you want to take these projects down. (And obviously you can split your projects between different approaches.)
