Classic case of a societal problem that technology tries to paper over, and does a poor job doing so. Rhino horns are used for their keratin and "traditional" medicine ingredients.

Radiation portal monitors will not detect all quantities and there are simple techniques for masking these detections with sheilding, or via nuisance alarms if they are detected. [1]

Shark fin extraction, for shark fin soup, has a similar cultural problem. Influential people in the communities that consume these products, ie Yao Ming, could make a lot more progress by simply having public campaigns against it. [2]

> As far as I know, those aren't wasting the space for a battery. Framework opted for their current battery sizes.

I don’t get that logic. There’s extra space; more battery could fit in there. The fact that higher density batteries exist in no way invalidates that.

(You might perhaps have a point if battery life was already excellent and the more important goal might be to save weight, but that’s not the case at all.)
There’s a bit of a middle ground where the user may say something like “tech articles from new site” which would require the agent to move around reading and aggregating information to return to the user. Is this the former or the latter?

I went through my own journey to get an understanding with k8s, in a homelab setting. It started with MicroK8s on a VM running on a 2011 macbook pro I had lying around. That was painful, but I eventually had something useful running, until it weirdly self combusted one day and weeks of hard work resulted in ssh failing to connect because the K8s instance seemed to have deleted itself from the VM. I think it was trying to tell me something.

I decided to persist, but this time with k3s, and no VM on an outdated Mac. Instead I went with an outdated HP Thinclient. A bargain on ebay, with extra RAM. That worked much better. Now I have a bunch of great self hosted software for home media, development servers, git repos, docker servers, CI/CD pipelines. With storage managed by a NAS. All managed via simple helm charts. It's really useful. I discovered Tailscale along the way, that opened up a whole new world of self hosting abilities.

I get the nerd sniping, I've seen k8s abused in work situations too, but underneath it, people just wanted to learn.

I had a similar situation recently trying to bake shokupan for the first time. There was a new bread maker. It made perfect rising normal bread. But trying the Shokupan recipe produced a damp brick. A total failure. I persisted, read a ton of recipes and blogs, watched countless youtube videos. I was convinced it was an equipment or method issue. Eventually, 3 damp bricks later, I realised the yeast was out of date. This was the first thing people recommended to check, but I thought I knew better because "it worked on my machine" with the normal bread. Anyway, the 4th attempt with new yeast produced a perfect loaf. And I learnt a ton of other useful info for baking great bread along the way. The elation when it finally worked, and I had amazing fluffy home made bread, was a very similar sense of reward and accomplishment to finally getting some program or system to work.
Could part of the cancer-killing nanoparticle star be more magnetic than Gold (Au), for targeting treatment ?

Is it only gold stars that do it?

Gold; AU; #79:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold :

> Chemically, gold is a transition metal, a group 11 element, and one of the noble metals. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements, being the second-lowest in the reactivity series.

Is the effect entirely mechanical stress to the cell and cell membrane and/or oxidative stress?

(what were earlier oxygen levels on earth during the evolution of mammals),

Do highly-unreactive gold nanoparticles carry electronic, photonic, and sonic phononic charge?

Is there additional treatment value in [NIRS-targeted] ultrasound to charge the [magnetic] gold nanoparticles?

How does the resistivity of the cell membrane change with and without star-shaped gold nanoparticles?
Width in a flame graph is directly proportional to runtime. Optimizing a block that covers x% of the graph will only speed up the program by x% or less, so probably dont bother with blocks less than 0.5% wide.

This by itself should already tell you what NOT to optimize.

But really, you should be looking for operations that take a long time but shouldn't (wide blocks that should be thin). To find it you need to have an intuitive idea of how fast things should be beforehand.

If you have no idea how fast things should be, no amount of graphs will help you with this.

I find that conventional commit wastes space in the summary for little gain. Categories are subjective and just not worth discussing much of the time. Even with it, how do you deal with things like reverts to commits that shouldn't be mentioned in the changelog anymore? Updating text or copy is also annoying.

I've found that storing changelog snippets in the repository is far more scalable (one file per note in a directory). This allows future changes to update changelog entries and reverts to just remove them completely.

There's also enough trouble getting Github and GitLab to support commenting on commit messages (something they should do anyways!) that feedback on release notes stuffed into commit messages is then a third-class process. They can still be collated and gathered just like from the commit messages, but they're actually tracked by git and there's no confusion when backporting changes: the release note comes with it without having to merge with conflict notes, `cherry-pick -x` notes, etc. You're also not limited to a measly single line for describing your change.

Going by a quick skim of the 2022 WHO oral health numbers, Sweden[0] doesn't seem significantly worse off oral-health wise than Germany, Holland, or the UK. In fact it's oral cancer incident rates appear a bit better. Though the UK doesn't have great cancer incident rates, it's periodontal disease rate seem to be significantly lesser than the other three (perhaps due to close monitoring as a result of the "bad British teeth" stereotype).

Sweden male tobacco use percentages are slightly higher than the other three countries, which might be a function of the population additionally using non-cigarette tobacco substitutes perhaps as was mentioned by others.

I mean not really since they are imported used vehicles from Japan

These trucks are illegal to sell new in the states

Japanese producers aren’t designing these vehicles with American second hand JDM import buyers in mind

Kei-truck manufacturers make no profit off this US uptick and consumers are at best irritated and at worst paying import fees because their domestic producers refuse to meet their needs and force them to cough up more cash for a vacuously useful and environmentally harmful oversized utility vehicles

Markets can work, this is a clear example of it breaking down (for the US) and a sign the government should step in to steer the - arguably flailing - market

Life is a shade of grays, in this particular case I think it's reasonable to want to block big giant ugly ads (those infested with js for tracking purposes) but still believe that the site should always be allowed to display a lot less intrusive advertisement, like mentioning a restaurant in the article body, or some links at the side bar for their social media or partner sites, summarization of this kind just nukes all possibilities of clean simple advertising so no, I don't think it's that close as you believe to be to ad-blocker extensions.
I'm sorry, but today I don't recommend Ubuntu to event people who are very familiar with Linux Distros. I'm personally using Debian Testing on my daily driver, and Debian Stable on my home server.

I started with Linux Mint, then Ubuntu. I don't remember which Ubuntu it was, but it had Gnome 2 and then later had fun with the Unity Desktop versions. When they started being the bully, I started distro hopping and then finally settled with Debian (because of my personal values as well). I can't trust a for-profit company to care about its users. Today I try to use as many FOSS alternatives and projects supported by community.

Ubuntu is no better than Windows 11 at this point. It's just lesser evil of two. Try something else, Pop_OS!, Linux Mint, Manjaro Linux, Fedora, etc. Plenty of good options out there. Debian too, if you don't want a solid stable long term OS.
A solution doesn't have to be perfect to be useful.
For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs and trucks, pushing automakers and American buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting car bloat through regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies, but a disaster for everyone else.

It's not that simple. Regulations are at least partially, if not primarily to blame for car bloat.

The Kei trucks are a less than ideal, last ditch response to a market that had failed a lot of consumers.

Look for those profiting from the status quo to do everything possible outside of the market to stop it.
because Poles had to smuggle computers in, the supply was coming from USA, and then it was too late.
I agree with you in this instance, but I think it's contextual. Cheap scale is great. Scaling for black swans is generally inadvisable unless it's a critical event in severity as well.

I work at a university, we need to scale up our messaging very fast specifically for shooting alerts. Given that our N of mass shootings is > 0, doing otherwise is not acceptable.
Consumers are not victims, they are driving the market.

The truck market is what it is because over time consumers have favoured a certain type of trucks when given the choice. If people picked the smaller truck at the dealership when shown the options trucks would look differently today.
Kei trucks are a very nice complement to a bigger truck, but they do not and can not replace them and the latter very much have practical reasons to exist.

This was discussed on the Latent Space podcast a few days ago: https://www.latent.space/p/llm-training-2024

That was a good episode, worth listening to for hearing justifications behind some of these decisions.
AI has millions of users. Some have hundreds of millions. Those people bring data right into the AI mouth. The collective effect of so many chat sessions will surpass what we publish today, and many more people will be in the loop.
If you sort it on a time axis, its not really a flame graph any more. The whole point of a flame graph is to group same stacks together, even if they happen at multiple disparate times.
Kei trucks are still nothing but a blip from a very niche market. No business outside of an owner operated business will be using these. The consumer market just finds them fun an interesting. They certainly have a nice price point but are largely for very local use as most of them cannot reach highway speeds, though I am not sure I would want to take one on a US highway.

"Ford F-Series expanded its lead in 2023, on sales of 750,789".

"Last year (2023), more than 7,500 Kei trucks were imported to the U.S. from Japan."

So the imported amount (not sold to consumer necessarily) is still less than 1% of the total market. Napkin math with chevy at 200k and capping it at 1mm for total.
I don't buy that argument. If the plumber/electrician is working for a company and driving a company car, then the company will pay the extra $15 for that corporate vehicle to be in Manhattan.

If the person has their own business then they can easily afford the daily $15. Skilled trades and the owners of those companies make very good wages in NYC.

I see plenty of blue collar workers on the MTA. Its one of the fastest ways to get around Manhattan and much cheaper than paying for parking.
That's pretty sweet. Nice job!

Well then it's not all of the above unless there's more than 375 million kilograms of rhino horns in the world, because all the gold is worth 15 trillion dollars.

Unless that's the case, which seems unlikely, all the gold is still worth more than all the rhino horns.

Also, gold's density is about 19 g/cm^3. I can't easily find a figure for rhino horns, but let's guess about the same as fingernails, horse's hooves, etc., which is about 1.25 g/cm^3. Gold is 15x denser, so at the prices you've shown, gold is still worth more than rhino horns per unit volume.

>This is a non-story, we already have these tools, this just adds an AI summary layer on top.

This is a story. With ad blockers, the assumption was that the original page as a whole is valuable, but users just don't want to pay the cost of the ads and other obtrusive elements. But now we're opening up the question of what exactly is it on that page that's of actual value - is it just the text, or only some of the text, or only the "facts" expressed on the page, or maybe something even more abstract, such as how the page corroborates a fact on another page.

I find this to be a really interesting question, both on a practical level and on an epistemological level - what is it that we as readers actually (want to) get from a resource?
The discoverability on those things is definitely lacking. I think it took us five or so broken touch-screens before my wife noticed that you could use that to select menu options instead!

From the Pride of the nation to the nation of Pride. This is not just a 'dumb' jab at identity politics (on which 'Pride' and similar phenomenons are built) but a factual description of how companies (this does not just touch Boeing) shifted their messaging from engineering prowess to how they champion 'diversity' and 'inclusion'. As to why they started doing that the answer is most likely multifold ranging from 'pressure from outside to raise the ESG rating [1]' via an internal push by more recent activist hires to - and this is probably one of the biggest factors - the realisation by those same bean counters and MBAs that it is a lot cheaper in the short run to gain the public eye by pandering to a few loud activist groups [2] than it is to do so through innovation, especially for companies which have a de-facto monopoly in their market segment, doubly so for companies which seem to have cemented that position by making themselves 'essential' to the national defence and triply so when executive bonuses are tied to hitting 'DEI' and 'climate' targets [3]. In the long run it will bring the company down but by that time the bonuses have been harvested and the executives have fled to new and richer pastures.

In this particular case I think you could do one of the following (ignoring the "while (true)" + "break" combination):

1:

while (printOneStr(s[i]), ++i < n)
printOneStr(", ");

2:

goto start;
do {
printOneStr(", ");
start:
printOneStr(s[i]);
++i;
} while (i < n);

But for this kind of code in general, I have thought that the "do while" statement should be extended to take an extra statement after the "while (cond)" part. It could still be an empty statement, with just a semicolon, like "do ... while (cond);", exactly like it's already used; but in cases like yours, you would be able to write this:

do {
printOneStr(s[i]);
++i;
} while (i < n) {
printOneStr(", ");
}

As a bonus, the current mandatory semicolon after do-while statements would stop being a special case for the grammar of C.

You're suggesting government step in and stop the market from adapting around existing regulation? But that's how we got where we are right now. If government weren't in the way we'd have even more happy buyers.

You point out US consumers might be annoyed at bad local options and are looking elsewhere then suggest that this is a failure of the market when in fact it is this market action that permits the consumer to find a better solution for their problems. All government can do if they "step in" is make this even harder.

You cannot Force a market.

Every grandpa in the japanese country side needs a kei truck. It's very practical. I moved apartments using one. The bed is hip height and opens quickly. The safety concern is someone else hitting you. I just got back from the McDonalds drivethrough and there was a lady alone in an american truck blocking everyone. I don't understand why anyone needs a car like that, they seem very dangerous.
Sure, but paying for an anti-shark fin commercial might be as much as a single portal monitor.

Having portal monitors that serve many purposes is good, and generally the biggest impact they have is in the deterrence effect, ie bad actors might be constrained by their existence. However in order for deterrence to be effective it must be a credible capability. Since there are so many smugglers, and they could reasonably implement simple countermeasures, it is likely the deterrence effect is small to nil in this case.
