Does the US have regulations around this? Here in New Zealand a boat must carry a life jacket for every person on board, and kids must wear a life jacket at all times. On vessels over 6 metres all people onboard must wear a life jacket at all times, unless the skipper has performed a safety assessment and advises they don't need to (e.g. on a ferry it's extremely unlikely anyone would have to wear a life jacket, but a charter fishing vessel may).

> if we don't understand biological consciousness, it just means we've created a very capable computational system.

This is the conceit of humanity. Consciousness does not rest on us. Further, we are so inescapably biased here. A system cannot study itself and make any meaningful progress. We are shackled by the limitations of this bias, bogged down by the muck and mire of disentangling ourselves from the equation.

You've missed the point. The best way to study consciousness is by removing as much of ourselves from the equation. We must first understand consciousness through an external conscious entity. Only then can we introspect and learn something through biology.
I believe Admiral Rickover made a very similar case with his "Paper Reactor" memo back in 1953[1]:"The academic-reactor designer is a dilettante. He has not had to assume any real responsibility in connection with his projects. He is free to luxuriate in elegant ideas, the practical shortcomings of which can be relegated to the category of “mere technical details.” The practical-reactor designer must live with these same technical details. Although recalcitrant and awkward, they must be solved and cannot be put off until tomorrow. Their solutions require man power, time, and money."

Curry leaves are usually used to make a "tadka" which is oil, mustard seed and other dried spices and curry leaves are heated up and then poured over a cooked dish like dal or sambar where it briefly sizzles and adds some flavor and aroma. You will also see it in some Indian fried snack packages.

I never said threading. I use a single-threaded runtime. But the lack of any async support even though it’s basically syntactic sugar at that point makes it a non-starter. There’s some amount of “make your code testable” that’s valid, but completely rewrite how your application is written and thus you can’t use the frameworks you need to is a bit much. At some point the testing framework has to also meet you where you are.

If this isn't a trivial thing to undo, that makes me sceptical of the ability of CloudFlare to manage its own infrastructure. The action of unblocking one IP address, or at minimum triggering a re-evaluation of its reputation, is such an important base piece of functionality - what else can't they manage in their own system? If they can do it, why is it layered behind so much bureaucracy?

Language package managers don't need copy-on-write, because there's no "write" — the files that make up dependencies are immutable from the perspective of the projects that they get installed into. There's no advantage to using CoW to "deploy" such files into work trees, over using plain-old hard links to do so. (And hard-linking these files is indeed what all the Node package managers — other than NPM — already do.)
Certainly there is room for critical discussion.

This is the more important part to me. I've long been proponent of far stricter and more comprehensive labelling rules, especially for foods. This won't make those weak laws any better, and the corporations that sell us food will continue to fight tooth and nail to deny us more information about what they'd have us put in our body. But having a common interface to get more info to consumers is better than the constraints of physical labelling and might at least expand that conversation and get consumers wanting more.

I would be _very surprised_ if we did not have regulations about this, similar to seat belt laws. But the problem is probably enforcement.

> If drawing is not your thing, consider whether you can count the number of creases in her sleeves, or what length the shadow under her nose is, and where the light source is coming from.

I see what you mean, yes, it's not eidetic or photographic memory when I see it in my mind, I can't see all the small details like that, but I can see it as if I took a picture, not an extremely high resolution one that shows every brush stroke, but more akin to something like this photo's level of detail (I can visualize the people in the crowd as well) [0]. I might even say that I cannot see the details because I actually have no knowledge of them (exactly how many folds or creases there are), than being unable to visualize them entirely. For example, I can see the Mona Lisa with 4, 5, 6, folds in her sleeves, all different images in my mind. Some people however can see every crease exactly as it is but that's much rarer, it's photographic memory, and it's not really what I'd call a normal person's (without aphantasia) experience. It is likely even trainable with more exposure to the actual underlying artifact such as observing the painting in-depth and remembering via visual snapshots what it looks like.

There are others with aphantasia, perhaps milder forms of it, who cannot "see" the Mona Lisa as a photograph, they just see a blur or something more akin to curves and lines that they must focus on, sometimes without color. These people would have less stable images in my mind, but generally my images are pretty stable. I'm curious to hear about what you can see in your mind's eye. Based on what you were saying, it seems to me like you're more on the belief or feeling side, or is it that you can completely see an image in your mind that's stable?

I am working on my next course "The Road to Next" which teaches full-stack React with React 19 and Next 15. I started this full-time adventure 6 months ago and I am knee deep into recording the lessons. The project with all the code and the step by step instructions are already there and I am super eager to hear what people think about it.

However, since this is my first recorded course (I did only written content before), it really takes time and effort to make the videos high quality. That's the biggest struggle for me here, but every day I push through it! For every lesson that I need to record, I have a post-it on a cupboard and every evening I tear one or two of them off with my son :)

> But when prices are increased momentarily due to a sudden need, that just feels bad for the customers.

If 100 people come into your store to buy the 50 umbrellas you carry, isn't it better for everyone to raise the prices? Some of those 100 might not REALLY need an umbrella, and are just buying it because they think they should (or to resell later!). If you raise the prices, you drive those buyers away and leave more product for the people who need it the most.
Show HN: I built a tool to maximize your cash back rewards while shopping
Background: If you use shopping portals like Rakuten and Capital One Shopping, you might not realize that cash back offers for your favorite store varies between shopping portals, and that these offers change every day. If you're not comparing these offers across portals, you could be missing out on free cash back rewards.

I built a search engine and Chrome extension that indexes cash back and airline miles shopping rewards offers across 8+ shopping portals. It's completely free to use.

Web App: https://getsavewise.com

Chrome Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mmdidpkgkknffjbnnbp...

Key Features

- Automatically searches 8 shopping portals to help you find and compare the best offers

- Supports 12,000+ online stores

- Choose between cash back and airline miles offers

- View offer history trends to see whether to buy now or wait for a better offer

It’s sort of like Google Flights for cash back deals - you’ll always know the optimal cash back portal to use to maximize your cash back when shopping online. You can use it no matter what credit card or debit card you have, as long as you shop online.

This started as an itch I wanted to solve for myself, but I realized that a tool like this might benefit other deal junkies and those who rely on cash back rewards.

I plan to add support for more shopping portals and other features in the near future.

I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!
The dystopian future this is leading to is clear: personalized pricing. So, you're upper middle class (*)? Well, surely, you don't mind paying a little more for your groceries.

The US has regulations on all of this but they are routinely ignored by people who can't swim but own boats.

Small boat owners are required to have the life jackets on board but they can be hidden under the seats of a boat or inside a hatch and that will be OK even when you are inspected by the coast guard. Small children are the only ones required to wear their life jacket.

Larger vessels have to have the life jackets but no one wears a life jacket. Most of these vessels the captain will explain where they are but the crew would be required to get them out in an emergency.

Most of the small boat owners I've known wouldn't have much chance of retrieving life jackets from fastened compartments on their boat if it flipped and they were thrown from the boat.

One of the worst accidents I've seen was a small commercial lobster boat on fire. The crew were all hanging off the back of the boat without their life jackets and had pointed the boat into the harbor. Luckily the coast guard was there to save the day.
Yes, that's the sort of comment which would have been fine in the first place.
Federal law requires all individuals under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket when underway. State laws vary. Enforcement and adherence are poor.

The only place I've ever seen operators make a shtick is commercial boat tours. Nobody cares if you're out fishing or drinking with the boys.

Edit: I'm pretty sure if a company started selling cocaine in the US, something would happen to seize and stop that company.

Today it's a mistake to open files in "text mode" that translates between line endings, or otherwise save text files with any line ending that isn't LF. Even notepad opens files with LF line ending now. (while we're at it, save all text data in UTF-8 too)

Some "text protocols" have CR LF line endings but this should be relegated to a library; your own code shouldn't deal with this.

> Why isn't it illegal to use traditional algorithms that have bias? Why aren't there regulations ensuring bias testing when humans themselves make decisions?

It is and there are, but rule-based systems and humans have traditionally been more limited.

You'd better bet that health insurers continually get audited in terms of claim pay rates and correctness.

The major difference is that AI systems can be pre-audited at minimal cost. In contrast, human auditing traditionally consumes billable processing time and so is done post-hoc on production results.

Honestly, I'm excited about these types of regulations. I think systems with more transparency, testability, and accountability are going to be better for society as a whole.

If it took "cost savings" + "scary AI" to get us there (digitization/automation and proactive outcome auditing respectively), that is what it is.

I don't think the tipping points are a decade away. I think we've already surpassed them. In the sense that "hey let's just stop buying all oil today" is not feasible.

In other words there's no way we can ramp down fast enough to prevent another degree of warming. We are already past the point of no (practical) return.

Obviously that doesn't mean we give up, 2 degs of warming is better than 3. But we're long (long) past the point where we can pretend we can "avoid the oncoming train".

So get used to more extreme events every year. Hotter hot, wetter wet, drier dry. More energy in the atmosphere means more energetic weather.

Europe (Ukraine, Russia) where Crimea just got struck using US weapons and harming civilians, Middle East (Yemen, Israel, Palestine, very likely Lebanon soon and if that happens...)
