> This idea that you can't stay in bed for longer than 20 minutes unless you can sleep is very challenging for someone who is already spending all day in bed because they're sick, and setting up this expectation, I've found, is a recipe for non-acceptance and self judgment.

That sucks, but tbh, it doesn't sound related to CFS (the sleep disturbances certainly do, but not the fugue-state rumination). Certainly sounds like it would exacerbate it though. I was dealing with a similar sounding cycles of 48 hr wakefulness. Awful, awful.

Regardless, may I suggest moving to a chair next to your bed? It's still getting out of bed, but maybe not so debilitating?

> I have had really negative effects from cognitive behavioral therapy in the past. Instead of letting me recognize and eliminate cognitive distortions, the CBT routines seem to add new forms of suffering rumination.

I would hazard that whoever taught them to you was not entirely competent, particularly since it sounds like they should have been known enough not to make you think that noticing one's distortions and dysphoria is all one needs to resolve them would make

If this was significantly in the past, things are quite different now. The last 20 years of mental health treatment are light years more effective than what came before, which was, IMHE mostly useless and often deleterious.

Moreover there are better ways to approach issues like the ones you describe, specifically DBT and its combination of distress tolerance skills, mindfulness and self-compassion. Of the three, it really sounds like what you are going through needs a whole lot of compassion.

So glad to hear that one company has secured exclusive rights to this technology, ensuring that no other company can do this to us. (Of course, Roku could license this technology to other companies, but that licensing fee would make it marginally less profitable for companies to do advertise in this way.)
By "atomic" clocks (for example https://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-WT-3129B-Atomic-Ana...), and older brands of watches.

I think there are also older industrial applications using this technology to syncronize.
For the mathematical background (i.e. the theory and behavior in idealized models), standard cryptography books are excellent. I recall that both Serious Cryptography and Handbook of Applied Cryptography have excellent introductions to the topic of rho structures that underlie the specific issue I mentioned. Where I've found them lacking is getting a practical understanding of how important these issues are in the specific situations we see in the real world.

For example, if you were to run Blake2b in 8 bit mode with the above construction, what would your PRNG period actually be? In the ideal case it would 2^(8). In practice, the best you'll get is 26 or 10% of the ideal case. There's a significant probability you won't get that either for a given seed, as much of the state space actually drops into a lower period cycle. The issue is that a real hash isn't the correct construction here, even though a mathematically ideal hash would be fine.

I'm not aware of any actual reference material for that kind of stuff and the people I've met who are knowledgeable learned from seeing other's mistakes.
Unsure if other telcos have their own setups, but:

> Northwestel, one of biggest internet service providers in the North, said it provides broadband service for all Nunavut communities using Telesat's Telestar 19 VANTAGE high-throughput satellite. After the satellite was deployed in July 2018, Northwestel said it would significantly improve broadband connectivity in the territory, increasing speeds to 15 megabits per second.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/efforts-underway-to-improve-...

Interestingly, the same satellite (but different transponders) probably supplies internet to a good chunk of transatlantic voyages between US/Can and Europe: https://www.telesat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Telstar-1...
Yes but then that would require consensus on protocol, encoding/decoding, etc., aka the things large companies are the worst at aligning on.
I will fix your bug if I find it interesting. I will fix your bug if you pay me. I will fix your bug if I get assigned it at work, or if I know you personally. Otherwise, fix it yourself. No one owes you anything, and if someone does, they can fix it for you.
They were comparing against kids in Australia. I forgot the exact details, but the policy developed was to add additional time during schools, and educating parents. Two hours a day cumulative, five day a week or something along those lines.

This isn’t something one has to spend a lot of time optimizing within certain latitudes, since there are benefits for kids being outdoors beyond halting progression of myopia. Although, if you think this can reverse myopia, it is worth biohacking.

If I recall, the article I read on this was posted on HN.
A little time with embedded hardware will teach you a few things too.
That's seems terribly unsafe.
There is also an antenna issue with regards to resonance. If the signal spreads to wide, the antenna and associated tuning equipment are going to suffer RF losses, reflections and likely heating.

That is why the 17khz naval CW station has a limitation on cw speed.
Roku makes me so sad. They had a product I really enjoyed using and admired them for making. Then slowly over the years they keep becoming more intrusive with their ads and more invasive with their data/privacy practices. My first Roku didn't need any sort of account, you just plugged it in and went. Now you have to register an account and I'm sure they are tracking everything I watch. They blanket the home screen with ads and I'm convinced they have programmed their remote to enable the microphone when I press pause/play every rand(20) < 1 just to remind me I can talk to my remote. Just waiting for the day it's revealed the mics on the remotes are always hot and feeding into their advertising models.
Agreed, you can look up d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e for example. The question is how critical is it that Google returns a non-useful result vs a page that says there are no results. I think most people don't care, it's not useful either way.
Sometimes we get home when a game is already in progress, which allows us to fast-forward through ads until we’re synced up with the live game. It is nicer than having to play the mute/unmute game. As you said, sports commercials are pretty awful.
Used to work at a dog tracking company. We had someone return a week old collar, torn to shreds with bio goo on it. Reason: no longer had a dog.

Would've been heartbreaking if it didn't reek of death.
Sorta.

I begged for permission to work remote when a family member got sick. I was reluctantly granted it, but they lined up my replacement behind my back. Luckily I trust no one in this business so I jumped ship before they fired me.
Could you elaborate on that point about structure? I’m curious what you mean.
I can touch microprocessors, and lasers are buzzing in airwaves. It’s the same electromagnetic radiation as what we know as radio, just
at much, much higher frequencies.

But this was asked in the context of solving this problem, in the 1950s.
Then point your /etc/apt/sources.list to 'testing'.
More likely a radio nerd, John Alvin Pierce, that was just really good at radio and obsessed with oscillators (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/60675) that inspired a group of distinguished government-employed engineers and scientists.

>Why would China flood the US market?

To kill off American industries.

A lot of what China does makes sense when you consider that their goal is not to make a financial profit, at least not in the near-term. No, their real goal is to go in and replace the local industries with their own; choking them out with Chinese goods so cheap yet still good enough that competition is impossible. The end result is the locals end up relying on China for industrial production, research and development, at which point China just won a war without firing a single shot.

Look at what happened with solar panels, lithium batteries, and indeed EVs. Most if not all industrial bases outside China were destroyed and replaced thanks to a flooding of Chinese goods. The red ink is no doubt immense, but the payout in sheer geopolitical power far exceeds it.

The Rust Belt and the collapse of American steel manufacturing is another example. Cheap steel from China and elsewhere led to the collapse of American steel, and we're now looking at it getting bought out by foreign interests (fortunately Japan rather than China, but the damage to American ego is beyond critical mass) as the final nail in the coffin.
The entire retina is part of the CNS, aka “the brain”. The optic nerve is therefore part of the brain.

There are dopaminergic amacrine cells within the retina and dopamine receptor much more widely.

The function call itself isn’t really the culprit (the cost of the function call itself is negligible in this case). It’s the implementation of the function [0].

I wonder if there's actually a market for that.

Donate to a non-profit that hires dystopian fiction authors to patent the technology in their stories, wait 500ms for some jackass to try to implement the dystopia, sue them for damages and enjoin them from continuing to do it. Donate half the proceeds to the EFF and use the other half to file more dystopian patents.
I vaguely recall a news article about some company, I want to say Apple but I'm not sure, patenting a process to use the camera to track your eyes to verify you're actually watching an ad to make them truly unskippable.
Basically, state space collapse is when the state space of the PRNG is substantially lower than what it "should" be given the number of bits involved. I give an example in the sibling comment with blake2b where the actual period is 10% of the ideal case due to rho structures.
> It doesn't matter whether Recall is present or not

Yes it does. Consider getting some malware that is detected a few minutes later and removed. For most people there would be no harm. With recall, you would be instantly screwed.
It is about 20 hours of outside play a week, more or less, from early childhood, through tweens, teens, and into college. When you mean you did, most of your young life, was it about that much?

The second thing I would ask is if you have astigmatism or myopia. They are not the same thing.

The third thing is that the Taiwanese protocol included an early childhood intervention for a portion of the population. They have a test and an additional treatment. I don’t remember the details. If you have myopia instead of astigmatism, you might be one of those kids.

Lastly, there are still some kids who develop myopia anyways in Taiwan after establishing this program.
The AI revolution is already losing steam
I kind of wonder if software engineers making this kind of money but no tax problems should be getting advice from folks who can look back and see what they should have done. (tax problems sometimes come from outlier behaviors that might be good)

"Seed oil" is a broad category, but the most popular (cheap) seed oils would also fall under "ultraprocessed foods".

Canola oil in particular is ever-present in the US, and unlike other refined plant oils, requires the ultraprocessing to be considered fit for human consumption (you'll never see extra-virgin canola oil on a grocery shelf). Debates about its safety aside, I don't feel the need to give it the benefit of the doubt when I could just eat something that doesn't contain it, and that something would likely be healthier for many other reasons.
You’re thinking “bid” is in reference to Snowflake bidding for progressive as a client?

I’d say thats not likely, I work in fintech and the first thing this filename indicates to me is a CSV feed of market data for bid prices (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bid_price)

This is a common type of dataset a firm would dump into a datalake to use as reference data lookups against other more sensitive data (for pricing trades, etc.)
Agree to disagree here. And yes, this article is a follow-up to the linked one.

The last section of the blog has a discussion of aesthetic and philosophical concerns around using errors for control flow. I'm against it, for the reasons I provide. YMMV.
> You might be thinking, “Wait a minute, isn’t WarpStream just another corporation? Why should I spend my time contributing to their project if they can just take my contributions at any time and commercialize them?”. Bento is 100% MIT licensed and will stay that way forever.

It would be interesting if there was a “no takebacks” enhancement to popular open-source licenses. Maybe the license could only change with a supermajority quorum of contributors.

Sure, but trench soldiers used to build their own radios. A soldier today stationed in the middle of a war isn't likely to assemble their own laser emitter.

While I can agree that ads are needed as a way to fund some platforms like YouTube and twitch, I also bet that unless your a big creator that its probably better of to just have a "sponsored" part of the video like LTT does....sure he makes ad revenue but those world of war sponsorships have defiantly kept more small creators afloat and they can be more "loose" in say swearing or covering sensitive topics without constant worry of offending ad companies.

That said I love and hate smart TV's. My family has one and while the YouTube ads are so long iv considered buying a cheap scb so I can run newpipe....its the shitty UI that really annoys me. The lack of apps...
Etc

This hardware is just a really big screen with a basic super cheap computer in it....hell a raspberry pi 3 b+ has better hardware and software.

Many if they could standardized the dam ecosystem, we would have semi decent apps. And I wish they would stop dismounting the TV's constantly, like I know your not even breaking even on the manufacturing cost bro....so just charge the real price and make a decent product that let's me run jellyfin. If that's to hard just sell the screen and the minipc as a bundle
When I was car shopping back 20 years ago, there was a 18-year-old car with low milage and a salvage title offered for sale that the seller claimed had been stolen and sat in a warehouse for over a decade. I think a lot of theft in general ends up being “poor business.”
They had no recurring revenue and compete against Amazon and Google on hardware.
I always thought they were supposed to represent how much "entropy" or something they got. So if the art looked "boring" you maybe want to generate another one.
Plus you have to defend yourself from the neighborhood kid who thinks that it'd be a laugh riot to randomize everyone's clocks at 5:15 in the morning.
> Most people choose their work.

Yes, but it's not nearly as big of a gap as the above comment suggests.

Being in prison sucks. If there's forced labor that approaches the same magnitude of unpleasantness, or even worse exceeds it, then that's a huge problem. But if it makes prison mildly worse than zero labor, that's not a tremendous issue.

> I think the sacrifice comparison wasn't to labor, but to the fact that capital punishment is still practiced in the US.

I can't figure out any way to read the comment that way, unless they rewrote part of it and totally messed up the phrasing.
Ask HN: How to identify PE owned businesses
As a side project I've played with the idea of having some kind of a directory where you can look up which local businesses, Drs etc are owned by a private equity group. Not that those entities equal worse service necessarily, but it'd still be good to know who is behind.

While I didn't have the time to build something, I was still wondering if there are resources available starters that one could use? For companies it's somewhat easy (and part of the research before joining one), but it gets more tricky for Drs offices etc.

Show HN: AI Email Name Generator,Create Unique Custom and Random Email Addresses
It was during a hectic week while working on a new marketing campaign for a startup that I encountered a common yet often overlooked challenge. Our team needed to create a large number of unique and professional email addresses for various personas we were testing in our campaigns. The repetitive task of manually crafting these emails was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and inconsistencies.

Understanding the Need:
Reflecting on this, I realized that many individuals and businesses face similar challenges. Whether it’s for creating multiple email addresses for testing, setting up accounts for a large team, or simply finding a unique email for personal use, the need for an efficient solution was clear. I saw an opportunity to leverage AI to automate and optimize this process, ensuring the generated emails were unique, professional, and ready to use.

Development Journey:
With this idea in mind, I embarked on the journey of developing an AI-powered Email Name Generator. Over the course of several months, I dedicated countless hours to researching AI algorithms, coding, and testing the application. The journey was filled with its fair share of challenges – from fine-tuning the AI to generate truly unique and sensible email names, to ensuring the user interface was intuitive and easy to use.

There were moments of frustration, especially when initial versions didn't perform as expected. But each setback was a learning opportunity, pushing me to refine the algorithm and enhance the overall user experience. Collaborating with a few beta testers helped gather invaluable feedback, leading to a product that I'm proud to present today.

Features and Highlights:
The AI-Powered Email Name Generator boasts several key features:

Custom Email Generation: Users can input their first and last names, and the AI will generate a unique email address with a custom suffix.
Random Email Generation: For those who need quick, random email addresses, the AI can generate them with just a click.

Company wanted me to not only return to office, but also move to the west coast. Leaving was a no-brainer.

Well, they should be impartial (and really compared to Congress or the White House they most definitely are), but they are appointed by the President (partisan) and approved (or not) by the Senate (partisan), so everyone knows which side they stand on. Not good, but it is how it is.

If you sell me the said futures I will happily buy because nobody else sells.

Hint to not go bankrupt before you decide to sell me, check the average current costs per barrel for the giants like xom and cvx. This is the price floor.

There are a lot of "most people" who use linux with zero trouble, without even necessarily realizing it, because their family members have set them up on linux. Yes some hard core gamers might not be a fit for linux but these are not "most people". "Most people" just need the browser.

> Official Notice: Commencing from 0000 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on April 7, 2024, the southern antenna of WWVB has been rendered non-operational due to damage sustained from wind gusts exceeding 90 MPH. Please be advised that WWVB continues to function at a diminished overall power, utilizing only its northern antenna.

> Update 20 May 2024: The components necessary for the refurbishment of the southern antenna’s triatic are currently being manufactured and shipped. The projected timeline for the completion of these repairs is tentatively set for the latter part of June 2024. We would like to emphasize that this is an estimated timeline and may be subject to alterations based on a variety of factors. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience during this process.

Can someone using WWVB radio clocks describe what the current situation is? Is the second working antenna strong enough to provide signals throughout the US / North America?

Are WWVB radio clocks popular at all?

Here in Europe, DCF77-based clocks are popular, especially with respect to automatic summer time adaption and (less obvious) leap second HANDLING. It would be very noticeable eventually if the DCF77 signal had severe issues.

Also, I'm very surprised about the abysmal historical uptime of Wwvb. It lists thirteen downtimes of more than 5 minutes each in 2023 alone.
