Well, yes, I'm making a comment on the internet about my negative experience with Air Canada and CTA in about 15 minutes. The claim itself had all the information and took hours to compile, I'm not sure how long it would take for me to simplify that point by point without still missing something.

- The delay was caused initially by a safety critical instrument being recognized as faulty, which required the airline to seek a replacement aircraft. This was deemed out of control of the airline, with subsequent staffing and catering issues cascading (in airline's control).
- CTA stated that because the primary issue was safety critical and outside of their control, passengers were not due compensation.
- CTA made no acknowledgement of the claims that 1) Air Canada did not inform passengers the nature or possible length of delay, 2) did not offer any rebooking, accommodation, or food/drink during extended layover, and 3) the Regulations Amending the Air Passenger Protections Regulations (https://otc-cta.gc.ca/eng/content/new-refund-regulations-now-force) which requires the airline to at least communicate but in many cases offer reimbursement regardless of whether an incident is in or out of their control.
- Flight was booked with Air Canada.
- Cab ride was at our final destination, from Tokyo NRT to Yokohama where family resides. Instead of landing in the afternoon, it was well past normal arrival hours and everyone staff included was clearing out. By the time we got outside, taxi stand was empty, nobody was around, airport was locked behind us. Waited approx. two hours before one randomly showed up. (Yes, we were trying to call any local services in the meantime but of the ones which I could actually connect to without a local # none were actually able to send a driver to where we were.)

When Air Canada submitted their response initially I was impressed because of the level of detail it revealed, including snippets of flight and maintenance logs. However, in reading the response from CTA I gather that was their strategy to dump as much info "in good faith" to make it appear that they really did their best and then the reviewer will more likely take it at face value. I am still genuinely perplexed that they addressed Air Canada's response point-by-point, but not the claim itself which was hinging really on the new regulations.

Obviously I don't want to fly on an aircraft with knowingly compromised safety, but if they had simply alerted passengers what was happening and what to expect then I would've arranged a pick up in advance or requested that we catch a flight the next day. Throughout the delay, I received 4-5 texts simply saying there was a catering issue that would be resolved "soon".
On the original Macintosh, the idea was that you'd move files you're currently working with onto the desktop, then return them to their original folders when finished.

The original Mac Finder even had a "Put Away" command to support this workflow.

I believe this idea partially arose by analogy with physical workflows, and partially as a way to more easily work with related files spread across multiple floppy disks: desktop items remained visible when a floppy was ejected, and the system would prompt for the floppy by name if you attempted to access a file on an ejected floppy (ejected floppies themselves remained visible on the desktop until you dragged their icons to the trash).

[Pedantically, the original (System 1.0) Mac Finder had a more general, slightly buggy "Put Back" command, removed in System 2.0, and finally replaced with the "Put Away" command in System 2.1. Source: past experience verified through testing at [1]]

man I add a few icons using istatmenus and don't even come close to the notch... what kind of icons do you have?

Mine are (R to L):
system date and time -
system control center -
iStat Network up/down and histogram -
iStat Battery -
Dropbox

that fills about 40% of the way to the notch... 50% when I'm unplugged and the battery is showing time remaining

Does one not suppose that a fair bit of this is the trial and starter doses that they give to doctors? Surely the drug company values them at list price for purposes of a business expense.
I happen to be related to Miguel Ángel López (his grandparent is one of my father's uncles). If you happen to not know who he is, he was in the Astana Pro Team and had an infamous short stint at Movistar. A few days ago UCI informed he was suspended from professional cycling due to an AAF, and was involved into a doping scandal but allegedly his name got clear about that.

I haven't met him personally so I can't tell if he's actually done any wrongdoing intentionally or not, but I do know for a fact he has spoken several times about retiring due to the mental toll competition has had on him and several colleagues of his, as far as back as 2017.

And if you take a look at it, it's something that it's not talked enough on the sport circles. In cycling specially, if someone becomes suspect of doping every "fan" will immediately point their fingers at them - unless it's one of your favorite cyclists. It happens everywhere online, from Facebook to Twitter to the rampant tribalism of r/peloton - immediately you'll become public enemy #1 no matter what. Cycling has had a bad story with doping and if the pressure to give results is not big enough, the stress of being labelled as a doper is a new whole level. I still can recall people throwed urine to Froome at some stages in the Tour de France.

Limitless aka Rewind has been doing it for a while, starting on macOS and expanding: https://www.rewind.ai

I gave it a shot for a few months and it was useful to go back to catch things that I couldn't quite recall. It was handy to ask it things instead of doing direct search sometimes. It was helpful for work, where I tend to take notes on things but never review them because of their volume (and SNR). I wound up uninstalling it because it was not the 'superpower' they alluded to in the marketing material, but it was interesting nonetheless. I also whipped up my own version using Ollama to provide access to a decent LLM (Command-R) on my LAN, recording screenshots, text, and transcripts to LanceDB so I could do combined search by vector and keyword and then re-rank. Also a fun project to learn from, but not that useful in the end.
>The kind of rules breaking you describe of Aragorn just smashing the ring is not so different from Dorothy learning she could click her heels together to go home all along

I disagree: in LoTR, it was made abundantly clear that the ring could not be destroyed this easily. Gimli even tried it with his axe. Ending this way would have been internally inconsistent.

However, I don't remember anything in Wizard of Oz which prevented Dorothy from clicking her heels together to go home. She just never knew this trick until the end, and it's not an immediately obvious thing to do anyway.

What is the mechanism by which being the reserve currency sprays a firehose of money into the US?

Keep in mind that being the major economy also carries costs - the US spends many times as much as other countries on its military and has no realistic path towards spending less.

And either way, their economy has been wildly succesful since the 1800’s.
Exactly, I've been called draconian in the past... but that's why I'm hesitant to add nearly anything.

This is why you must self-host. And use HN for comments.

You may think I'm joking, but my pure self-hosted website can get more attention through HN if I put effort into blog posts.

I have two blog posts that say the same thing, one with a ragebait tone, and one that is moderate. HN loved the moderate one.

I love this site.

Anyway, I think he hit on the reason: other platforms give you bad signals for their own benefit. HN still gives a good signal, and self-hosting avoids bad signals from bad platforms.
Free samples aren't include. Look up the Sunshine Act, it's only direct payments to doctors.

But this can include things all the way from doctor getting $250 for spending 60 min consulting for a company (i.e. answering questions about how they treat a disease, what they look for in a new drug) to a doctor leading multiple speaking engagements throughout the year and making tens of thousands.

I'm confused that people have at the same time deep suspicion and also unwavering trust of drugs companies, depending on the story.

In most cases people are suspicious of pharma corruption & recklessness. Yet in a few contexts, for example with vaccines and psych meds , any criticism is deeply stigmatized. Critics are even slandered as backwards.

Why the paradox? I think a healthy dose of suspicion all around is warranted given their track record, plummeting healthfulness and the stakes at hand.
Right I guess this didn't require sleuthing. This does display how large the payments were tho, if that makes any difference to someone.
"We rarely see angles expressed in degrees; usually, we represent them in relation to the number PI"

I love it when someone too close to the tree loses sight of the forest this way. "rarely see angles in degrees" is so wild of a comment for anyone outside of math. How does one find their location on a map in long/lat in degrees or radians? Do we say degrees on a compass or how many radians? How many radians is that star in right ascension? Did that skater just land a 4*pi jump or a 720?

I built API hub to generate videos from text/img: looking for feedback
Hey everyone! I'm Tina, and I'm super excited to share something I've been working on: aivideoapi.com - your one-stop shop for all things AI video generation!

A few months back, I was blown away by the potential of AI video but frustrated by the existing options. They were either too expensive, difficult to use, or unreliable. So, I decided to build my own solution!

I launched aivideoapi.com on RapidAPI a while back, and the response has been incredible! We're sitting at a 9.7/10 rating, and tons of iOS devs have integrated our API into their apps.

We've got:

Text-to-video, image-to-video, and video extension (up to 36 seconds!)

High-quality videos AND optimized GIFs

Super reliable service (99.9% uptime, check the stats: https://status.aivideoapi.com/)

Easy integration with Python, Node.js, JavaScript, PHP, and more!

A user-friendly portal with a playground for testing and generation history management.

Webhook alerts and real-time progress updates.

And the best part? Your first five video generations are completely FREE!

Whether you're building the next viral video app or just need to create stunning visuals for your projects, aivideoapi.com has you covered.

I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to improve and expand the platform.
I don't do it for speed. I do it because I'm abusive enough to my storage even without that.
The idea that if we had a safe drug that made people lose weight (we don't) we shouldn't immediately give it to all fat people without a lecture, borders on a religious belief about virtue. That case could be made for not giving insulin to diabetics or bronchodilators to asthmatics.

If there were a safe drug that can make people lose weight and put on muscle, I'd be actively telling people not to exercise unless they enjoy it. It's bad for the joints.
Considering "marketing" extends all the way down to "hey, did you know our drug just got approved to treat disease XYZ", I'm hardly surprised it influences behavior.

You'd be surprised at how many doctors there are that know very little about newly approved medicines and pretty much rely on sales people for information.
And that's why the really precise resistors are so damn expensive. E.g. VPG makes a 10k 1/5W 0.001% tolerance ±0.2ppm/°C, but they're $116 each with a minimum order quantity of 25 on DigiKey (so $2900 minimum purchase). They've got a really expensive meter for their trimming setup!
A modern example is Dana Gioia, who switched from poetry grad school to business school, did that for ~15 years, and eventually went back to full-time writing, chaired the NEA, and is I think the current poet laureate ot California. Here's a bit from an interview, about his time working at Jell-O, that weaves this together [1]:

> Every day for a year a group of us would meet after lunch and try every recipe ever devised for Jell-O. They were all elaborate and time-consuming. Finally we happened upon a recipe for small slices of concentrated Jell-O that you could pick up with your fingers. I had all the men on the team make them with me. We figured if we could make them, anyone could. We added the idea of shapes and negotiated with Bill Cosby to advertise them. Every box in the U.S. sold off the shelves. My job at the National Endowment for the Arts is oddly similar: to understand how to take all the agency’s resources and, in addition to everything else we’re doing, come up with a few ideas that are transformative.

And more relevant to this thread:

> I would tell young poets worried about struggling to make a living at their craft to consider alternatives in business before launching an academic career. A poet always struggles. If you work in business, you have the freedom to choose the ring you struggle in. There are many jobs in which a creative person who can write excels. An N.E.A. grant can be a watershed in a writer’s career. It’s the first time some people can write full time. The grant is financial, but also validating. Honor can be even more valuable than money to artists. It gives them the right to take their artistic vocation more seriously.

> This is why antibiotics resistance is a problem in many parts of the world.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are more of an agriculturally-induced problem than a non-farmer-human-induced problem. Almost all commercial livestock are pumped full of antibiotics to make them fat, according to estimates ~2x the amount of antibiotics are used for animals as for humans.
I think this is a language barrier thing. In Japanese for example "Josei Manga" (lit. "female comics") is a completely acceptable term. One of the largest comic publishers in Japan is called "Shounen Jump," with shounen meaning "boy." It is similar in Chinese manhua (which this app seems to be based of but for a western audience). Every manhua app will first ask you if you are interested in girls or boys comics. For example the home screen of BiliBili Manhua has "女生" (girl) and 男生 (boy) as separate tabs (out of only seven total tabs with the others being like new, trending etc.). It is really more of describing a specific genre than about who is 'allowed' to consume it.
Start creating an ownership interest in good companies by buying their shares. This is one mistake that I made in my 20s - not investing. By a stroke of luck, I had managed to buy a few shares in a blue chip comment where I worked. And, they have given me handsome dividends regularly and significantly appreciated in the value as well.
the very definition of "a woman" is an ongoing controversy right now.

there's a cautionary tale in there that applies to a few other hot topic issues, but it will be ignored, of course.
Computer scientists and programmers live in an inherently discrete world where there’s algebra everywhere you look but very little calculus outside certain niches. I’m reminded of the Feynman and the Connection Machine story [1] where he ended up analyzing some complex binary circuits in terms of differential equations because as a physicist he lived and breathed the continuum – unlike his computer engineer coworkers!

Maybe we’ll soon have robotic missions that are capable of replacing the gyroscopes?
I've done the measurement myself with an AC watt meter and CPUs generally hew pretty close to their TDP. 65W CPU under load with a full-system power consumption around 70-75W, with the balance presumably being things like the chipset/SSD and power supply inefficiency.

But the TDP is also configurable. It's one of the main differences between different model numbers with the same number of cores which are actually based on the same silicon. The difference between the 4800U and the 4900H is only the TDP and the resulting increase in clock speed. But the TDP on the 4900H goes up to 54W.

Whereas the TDP on the 4800U they tested there is configurable even within the same model, from 10-25W. And then we see it there using a sustained 20-25W, which is perfectly within spec depending on how the OEM configured it. And there is presumably a setting for "use up to max power as long as not thermally limited", which is apparently what they used, and then combined it with a 15W cooling solution. Which is what you see clearly in the first graph on the same page:

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16084/Power%20-%2015W%20Co...

It uses more power until the thermal solution doesn't allow it to anymore.

In the second test it can sustain a higher power consumption, maybe because the test is using a different part of the chip which spreads the heat more evenly instead of creating a hot spot. But this is all down to how the OEM configured it, regardless of what they advertised. That CPU is rated for up to 25W and is only using 22. Obviously if the OEM configures it to use more, it will.

The CPE also moves the first black box under foreign control to (potentially) both sides of your firewall, as most small businesses likely just use the router in that mode, and have very little networking knowledge. That's significantly worse than somewhere on the outside of your firewall because now it can snoop pretty much everything and be used to scan the local network which is often poorly protected because it's assumed to be pretty secure.
So is patient behavior. How many drug ads for X include the line "ask your doctor about X" as if the patient has any clue whether that drug would be appropriate. Then they run to the doctor asking for X and the doctor says "eh, it's easier than trying (again) to get them to change diet and exercise habits" and they write it.

I don't actually know how often doctors do the last part but I would think that in some cases it happens.

I think drug ads are almost always completely out of place in consumer media and it's something that is really uncommon or totally banned in other countries.
