Didnt his friend from work own and sell it?
rest in peace, thank you for giving me the memory of what root on an '11 felt like for dms, and a little of that all asm love for the single cve. Someday i will write it a sister and publish in TLCHM memory. farewell friend and thank you for the fish
The hardware is far from good. I have one and got real intimate with it. The battery life is ass and holding everything back (e.g. maybe why they disable touchscreen for a lot of things?). The mediatek chip inside is really cheap and bad. There's no edge compute, so it's clear that they want it to be an interface to cloud services, but really begs the question "then why not just use your phone."

The vision is just what everyone is working on -- connecting LLMs to tools. Wake me up when it can do half of what Google Assistant can already do for me. I'll add that Google Assistant is free, and fast.
It will still react through (weaker) non covalent forces, like van der Waals force.
Because labs don't often have their experiments growing uncontrolled everywhere.

Any junior banker can produce a spreadsheet for you that will claim anything you want - it is called Management Consulting.

Anyway, since you know better how those big companies can invest, you can use your own money to reap the benefits. Money is literally lying on the street for you.
some setups that have given me pain (though some at age 16 so can't validate now):

- hot-reloading on xcode+swift / ios app dev in vscode

- dwm-style window management on macos that just works

- setting up arch linux (back in the day)

- de-bloating ubuntu (gnome2 ui mainly) without breaking it (back in the day)

- raspberry pi os used to hate all my usb sticks regardless of size or make
Singaporean here. I grew up in a family without a car, know very little about cars, still don't have a driving licence, and didn't really care for a licence until recently. Many of my friends (in tech, especially) don't drive or care to own a car either.

I think our public transit is fine, despite the very infrequent delay. What I can't stand is the lack of transparency and constant cover-ups surrounding any breakdown or delay, because the transit operators have standards to meet.
I wonder if the truss and other components could be harvested. Move to lunar orbit.
The brain makes a lot of waste. Now scientists think they know where it goes
Krypton is cheaper, and not yet banned in international competition. Xenon and argon are banned. There is no test for any of these.
I think this is an unnecessarily polarized admonition. Alcohol is arguably more than possibly-lethal, but many people exercise a reasonable risk calculus that allows them to enjoy it, and even enjoy it to a low level to moderate excess (on occasion), and that doesn't necessarily indicate pathological drug abuse.

An unusual medically-safe (in medical contexts) anesthetic generating curiosity about recreational effects and safe use is not unreasonable, and having that curiosity certainly doesn't imply that someone is "not ok!"

I'm not saying that Xenon isn't exotic; it likely takes someone with a strong background in less-dangerous inhalant usage (and deep pockets) to use it safely. But there are plenty of exotic substances that people use safely and sanely throughout the world, and telling people off for having interest drawn from a (reasonably balanced, I would say) source ain't the business.

It's considered unwise to leave uncontrolled vehicles in orbit, as they may hit other uncontrolled vehicles (or natural objects) and create debris.
I like it. When clicking fails, bluetoothctl is there for me to easily disconnect, pair, connect, connect again until my device registers.

Without it, Bluetooth is literally blackbox for me
Would be interesting to compare with e.g. Feral Pig meat in Australia
I'm not a xenon user, but I completely disagree with what you've said here. What is your point, that because xenon is hard to make it's an insane person's drug? You're implying a huge level of risk but TFA outright states that xenon is incredibly safe, which can't be said for ingesting carcinogens from combusted cannabis, or from drinking alcohol which can kill you in a single night pretty easily. Are you saying TFA is lying about the chemical safety of inhaling xenon?
f3 recalls the whole command, and then you could edit it with the arrow keys and insert and delete. i think f2 x recalls the whole command up to the first occurrence of the letter x. these features existed by ms-dos 3, but i think they were in ms-dos 2 as well

in retrospect it's kind of stupid that ms-dos didn't have fantastic command-line editing and history facilities, since it had guaranteed control over the whole screen, a known keyboard layout, guaranteed at least 64k of ram, and was running milliseconds away from your fingertips without having to timeshare compute resources with other people or background compilation tasks (etc.). from today's perspective, it seems like a no-brainer in this context to build in a rich command-line history feature with search, cut, paste, and movement by words for command-line editing, plus filename completion. readline is solving a much harder problem given that it had to do everything through termcap and degrade gracefully on shitty terminals! maybe it's a harder sell when you have to write it all in 8088 assembly, or (more likely) when you've never used a system like that before

(for batch files, it also seems like a no-brainer to implement something like the bourne shell's control structures, and there was less excuse for not doing that, given that they were already aping unix's hierarchical filesystem)

it makes me wonder what kind of obvious improvements on today's computer systems we're missing
I wouldn’t call nitrous oxide “psychedelic” although it is certainly psychoactive.
Reactions don't need to happen, the magnesium ion is a single atom that interacts with the NMDA receptor to block it at specific potentials. When the postsynaptic neuron gets enough input at a synapse, there is enough change in the charge inside the cell where it allows the Mg2+ ion to be displaced from the pore to allow cations to pass through

Our cells use single atoms, usually in the form of charged ions, on a regular basis and we would not survive without them
Reddit stock price has been going up since the IPO I believe not as a result of user or ads growth but because they've been selling data to AI companies for training.

IMO the quality of Reddit's product has never been a pillar of its valuation.
Thanks I agree that would be a more streamlined introduction.

The quickstart clearly has too much content in retrospect, and the feedback here makes it clear we should simplify.
Afaik, wild boars are full of parasites so I would not recommend eating them anyway. They also eat about anything, so probably that's why they're a good indicator of background pollution levels.
Err... almost. An engine is something that has significant engineering effort put into it, you can see that the words are cognate. A motor is (usually an engine) that converts potential (stored) energy into motion, by way of some force. I do believe that motor and motion are also cognate.

But outside the etymologies, there is no standard, agreed upon definition for either the term engine nor motor. I personally like these etymology-based definitions (otherwise how do you excuse the term "siege engine") but it's not a hill I'd die on.
Did they raise money to pay back the Bail bond when he skipped in the UK?
TL;DR: I love this idea and have two questions:

1. For early iterations / similar projects, could all-metal screw terminals[1] accept power internally?

2. Would supporting UXN/Varvara[2] be an option?

More on these questions below after initial comments.

## Initial Comments

> if you aren't worried about going batteryless, or about mass production, you could literally buy an alphasmart neo and wire its keyboard and display up to an esp32 or something

I could, but it's a limited in availability. The keyboard is pretty important in my opinion.

> memory-in-pixel lcd displays

I vaguely remember hearing about this, but don't have the EE knowledge to judge the benefits of these. Data sheet for anyone interested: https://www.sharpsde.com/fileadmin/products/Displays/Specs/L...

## 1. The screw terminal:

Disclaimer: I'm not an EE specialist.

My understanding is that if the power loss isn't too great, an all-metal internal screw terminal[1] might improve device durability:

* The power source could be replaceable. AA, AAA, LiPo, solar, etc

* If you don't solder to the metal part, even sandpaper or a conveniently shaped rock could remove oxidation

* For a case, internal screw terminals could turn a charging port into an easily replaceable component

## 2. UXN/Varvara:

From your blog, I see an "artemis apollo 3 board"[3] is being used. From a Sparkfun page[4], it seems to have enough ram to host graphical Varvara.

I was initially doubtful of UXN despite loving the idea, but:

1. The UXN community seems to have built a self-hosting ecosystem[5] of:

* development and GUI ROM launching tools

* text, font, and graphics editors

* music sequencing tools

2. The UXN VM is light: 64k system ram, 4-bit 2-plane color, and misc state and debug

3. The core UXN VM is simple: a minimal implementation fits in under 150 lines[6] of C89

Xenon gas is nonreactive, but it can dissolve into your blood and influence the very sensitive chemistry of your brain.
The point of using Cloudflare is the security features. You're entrusting proxying and DDOS management to a third party.

If you're at that level of scrutiny, that's not a service for you in the first place.

That's absolutely not true. It is already used in medical practice and mixing with oxygen, similar to how laughing gas is used, prevents hypoxia. These things are easy to google if you actually care to look
You should compare it with oxygen tents used to simulate training at high elevation. The risk of damage is more-documented from those compared to argon and xenon.
Researchers fool university markers with AI-generated exam papers
> that is unbelievably arrogant and thus extremely annoying

Do you think maybe you're taking everything just a shade too seriously?

Like, taking offense at a simple expression of preference? Lighten up.
Absolutely. But if we're going to give our president a power that could be used too liberally, it's good that it's the power to let people go free instead of the power to imprison (or worse) anyone for anything he wishes.
I noticed that Victor Shoup is an author. I recognize the name from citations in papers by cryptographer D. J. Bernstein (known for creating ChaCha20, Ed25519, qmail, and more). Shoup is referenced in over 100 pages on Bernstein's cr.yp.to domain (https://www.google.com/search?q=shoup+site%3Acr.yp.to), so my first impression is to regard this paper as potentially legit and important.

That said, my very uneducated guess is that the problem being solved here is not important for many users of distributed consensus algorithms. If you have a bunch of nodes that need to agree on something, you generally don't mind sharing a cryptographic secret among them as part of the set-up.
Yeah, no pretty looking shock diamonds in that exhaust. Which makes me thing the exhaust velocity is pretty low, which I'm not too surprised by since the throat of that engine looks pretty large. And the specific impulse (efficiency) of a rocket engine is directly tied to the effective exhaust velocity [0].

Still amazingly cool, but to the other questions on this thread I'm sure the performance is not comparable to an existing rocket engine design.

To be fair, indigo is a blue pigment and it is present in many different plant species. (Mind you, it does not make the plant blue; it only becomes blue after exposure to oxygen.)
Pixel phones have less of a brand than Samsung, much less Apple (not talking about actual product quality, just brand positioning). Nest doesn't stand out, although I don't think any of the smart home things are really established enough to know which are good or bad. I've never heard of the Bayview hotel rooms. Gmail is good but it's not a "premium" feel.

Peronism is weird and incomparable with other non-right wing movements. Argentina's modern history is largely defined by left-wing Peronists vs. right-wing Peronists.

Hence, you can't evaluate other countries governments based on whether they're aligned with the Kirchners or not, it says almost nothing other than they're not on the extreme right. You have to judge them on their own terms.
yeah, 4dos was great. it still exists, by the way, and they've released the sources, just not under an open-source license: https://4dos.info/sources.htm#1
The deck of the MBP is definitely warmer with RD idling in the background. Does it practically impact anything I'm working on? No. Does it tickle the OCD related neurons in my brain? Yes and I hate that.

I just turn it on and off as needed instead of leaving it running all the time.
This is not an "open source project", this is a service. When I use a open source project I take it as it is now and take a risk on it not being updated, but any updates are "pull", as in that I willingly take in changes.

In this case the service is "push", which is very different. Any website that used polyfill.io can have any changes pushed to it, regardless of if the author even had known about a change being made.

If my popular project is replaced with a single poop emoji on NPM any existing user is fine (especially since NPM keeps old versions after the whole left-pad thing) and will find an alternative. If polyfill.io replaces their code with

document.documentElement.innerHTML = '&#128169;'

that's not fine, since it affects existing users without any update step.

I think that nobody should use these public CDNs at all, including things like unpkg and cdnjs, or at the very least using subresource integrity. Either way this has been something that has been on the horizon for years and similar to the buying of popular webextensions.
You prompted me to try out the little-known web version of Keynote on iCloud.com. I expected it to be surprisingly good if not quite up to the desktop standard, since Apple's front end web teams do amazing work. And sure enough, that's what it is.

I focused on animation features and it has most of those available in the desktop version, but it's missing a few (e.g. action build effects). It's also missing some of the image adjustments. But it's got Magic Move, and shape subtraction/intersection[1]. Most importantly feels pretty good to use, though it takes a while to load (on Chromium). I've no idea if they implemented that inner-detail object alignment - don't have an easy way of testing it.

[1] https://support.apple.com/guide/keynote/combine-or-break-apa... - note the feature about breaking apart SVG images too, I wonder if that's related to the inner-detail trick.
Reminds me of Buildspace [0].

Nonetheless, even in the very best case, every other radar still increases the background noise floor that each radar has to distinguish its own signal above. It won't ruin the signal completely, but it will affect how much scan time or output power is needed, or the detection resolution it can attain.
Whatever you choose, spend long enough with it and you'll develop too much of a familiarity with it, and grow to love and hate it simultaneously. That is to say, I wouldn't trust anyone who gives you a specific answer in total confidence because there just isn't one. So pick the one you want, knowing that you'll grow to hate that decision in 15 years if you didn't want to choose that one, or find reasons to love that decision in 15 year if that's the one you ultimately wanted because humans are great at rationalizing decisions. What matters is your attitude towards your decision, knowing that there is no one right answer. C++ would be a great choice, but so would Rust, or even Python. Eve Online manages to make Python work and to be real, your project likely won't be as successful as Eve Online.

So not "use what you know", but "use what you want to", knowing that in 15 years you'll love and hate having chosen that as much as you want to.
A magnet will pass by a hard drive and emerge totally unchanged. It doesn't mean the hard drive was not changed
Asphyxiation with inert gases causes hypoxia very quickly. It's not like holding your breath. Lungs don't actively pump oxygen; gases just diffuse along their partial pressure gradients. Air has higher partial pressure of oxygen than blood does, so the oxygen diffuses from the air to the blood. If you fill the lungs with inert gas the oxygen diffuses back out again. You're effectively breathing in reverse.

Filling the lungs with vacuum has the same effect. You have about 5 to 10 seconds before you're incapacitated:

> Space station mold survives 200 times the radiation dose that would kill a human

> that the spores could survive radiation doses of 500 to 1000 gray (=sieverts),

Humans can survive massive amount if radiation, provided it's not all at once (research sample size = 1).

Albert Stevens survived 64 sieverts deliverted over 20 years (lethal dose 50 % die in 30 days is 4-5 sieverts).

It's almost as if linear-no-threshold model is wrong and we do actually have some capability to repair some damage

Edit: just to clarify, survive doesn't mean thrive. Just that we might survive in a deadly environment better and longer than expected.
You could almost certainly source a cylindrical body to pour the cast into for cheaper and easier than 3D printing one - of almost any dimension. The tricky part is in the coring shape (for thrust profile), not the shape of the cylinder.

That said, 3D printing an easily-removable mold for coring, such as from wax, would be amazing.
I’ve been trying to get a sense of how much of the military is actually behind this. Current reporting seems a bit confused. For example, I’ve seen multiple articles say that “2 tanks” are outside the government palace, but I’ve yet to see any photos or videos demonstrating that. All I’ve seen so far are a handful of images like in the article showing uniformed troops, and one video showing an armored vehicle ramming a building (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c288eewr1wko.amp ). Best I can tell that is a Tiger armored vehicle. I’m wondering if this is a case of reporters calling any military vehicle a “tank” or if there are actual tanks (which for Bolivia would mean the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SK-105_Kürassier or possibly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE-9_Cascavel depending on you definition of “tank”).

At some point hopefully someone with knowledge of Bolivian Army insignia will chime in and identify which units are participating in this coup.
Thanks! I am definitely working on bringing more to the WASM world. I'd begun experimenting with 3D and multithreading and then last week decided to circle back to the 2d demo and polish it up a bit more.
What that really means is that several talented people dedicated their entire careers to worrying about it!
similar issue with radiation near Chernobyl. They dig deep into the ground and get into things that are normally burred.
It is in fact psychoactive and a good anesthetic:

"How does xenon produce anaesthesia?" https://www.nature.com/articles/24525

It is not typically used in most countries because it is very expensive compared to alternatives, but it is approved in many countries for anesthesia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3626616

I found this article very weak, but Xenon is quite a real drug.
Actually we learned about Google's NCL way after, when discussing with CUE's author, that we happen to know as well. So it's a funny coincidence. Nickel originated from NCL which is both a recursive acronym (Nickel Configuration Language), but also came from the ambition of improving Nix: it also meant, at least initially, Nix Configuration Language, I believe. Maybe there's been a wordplay around Nickel <-> cheap configuration language as well.

We also co-organize CONFLANG (https://2023.splashcon.org/home/conflang-2023) with CUE's author and other people, and we got several subscriptions and talks from Google last year. This is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbEkN8OOQFQ&t=23367s. I you look at the first comment, all talks are indexed, and there is in particular an experience report on improving GCL incrementally without breaking anything at Google (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbEkN8OOQFQ&t=23367s). Very interesting!
Xenon gas is a pure element. It absolutely is going to leave your body exactly the way it entered, because your body has absolutely no ability to break down a pure non-reactive element into anything.

You seem to be responding to this as if it is saying that your brain is immune to injury from Xenon abuse, which is never a claim that the article made. It is clearly stated that oxygen deprivation through Xenon inhalation can cause death.

Now, 30 seconds of oxygen deprivation is sure to cause your brain to "starve" in the sense that oxygen levels will drop enough to affect your consciousness, but that's absolutely not enough oxygen deprivation to cause brain damage, given that the general method is to trip off of a single inhale, similarly to how Nitrous Oxide is used recreationally.
Yes I agree that's the intent, but I think it can often be used by people who think the thing being "virtue" signaled about isn't important. People who think that corporations aren't going far enough in support of their social issue sometimes accuse them of virtue signally, but people opposed to people viewing the issue as important do all the time.

The prevailing wisdom on Hacker News now is that actually people who say they care about AI safety are mostly lying and any road blocks they try to put up are motivated by greed. It feels very much like someone accusing a company talking about responsible forestry and advocating for higher standards in the forest cutting business of virtue signaling
I'm not very knowledgeable on this, but my understanding is that xenon can dissolve in the lipids in the brain and influence reactions in that state. This paper [1] seems to show that xenon can displace glycene in the NMDA receptors. The receptor is a "door" and glycene is one of the "keys" to open. By binding or interacting with the glycene site on the receptor, xenon keeps glycene from reaching the receptor, inhibiting it.

We have too much water here, and many incorporated areas run their own water companies here… so nothing too remarkable. Just don’t try to do cable or internet locally.
React is not a good term to use here but rather interact. Saying something reacts means that we are moving around electrons and possibly forming covalent or ionic bonds. Intermolecular interactions are quite a bit different
