I love how clueless this article is.

> Blanchflower says he isn’t exactly sure why young adults seem to be experiencing the most unhappiness ...

That one made me laugh out loud.

> social media and smart phones

"Got to be them social media and dem phones." says supposed smart person.

The absolute best part is that the article doesn't talk about a big part of the issue: money; *but the end of the article paragraph shilling CNBC crap does*:

" Want to stop worrying about money? Sign up for CNBC’s new online course ..."

Just hilarious.

But to get more specific, they have some recommendations for how to address lack of happiness that are also pretty funny:

> Decide what your values are and structure your behaviors to align with them.

Can't change your behaviours if you're trapped in a bad situation because of money.

> Become more aware of unhelpful comparisons and use comparison for your benefit.

Yes, compare yourself to other wage slaves, or other peers that can't afford healthcare.

> Focus on reducing stress levels.

Then the coup de grâce, because: "Too much stress can lead to health issues including heart problems ...". And I can just hear a panicked 20-something in my head:

"Shit! I don't have healthcare now, how am I supposed to afford having heart
problems?! This article is stressing me out!

An amazing article from start to finish, really made me laugh.
Please, accept cryptocurrency payments! I've found very few LLM providers that can be paid with crypto, and most of them are of bad quality.
A good developer I've been working with years ago told me "I really don't know how networking works [and SQL] but... I studied Graphic Design, not CS. While I was studying that I realized that I liked programming more than design so I started doing it and never got a formal education about computer stuff." He was really good at Node and he ended up being the lead developer of the company he was working for. I know good developers coming from all sort of backgrounds, from Philosophy to Agrarian science (if that's the right English term for that.)
Does highlighting the domain name not give the boost in security? I don't mind highlighting. And it's possible to get very aggressive with highlighting.

At the very least it should have a [...] and not completely hide the fact that there is a URL.
In case you were wondering, it supposedly stands for Good Luck Have Fun.

It's in the title which is not immediately visible on mobile.
It worked very well. Llama-3.1-405B is really impressive! But then the whole thing stopped working, as more people started using I suppose. Can't wait for the paid offering.
My uncle died after getting into a hypoglycemic coma at night. I think it is a real shame that technology hasn't been able to solve what looks like a medium-complexity feedback loop system.

The typical route for movie productions now, since modern film resolution is too high to easily use fakes that fit the legal requirements, is to use stacks of blank paper of the right color with a single actual bill on top.
Not in developing countries: most small excavations in Chile are done by hand, even during road construction. Very few bobcats around here, so anything where a backhoe would be too big is done with shovels.

A fair bit of the rich soil in the mid west, west, and north west are from previous volcanic eruptions. Substantial areas have 1 meter or more of high quality soil, which we are squandering by over watering, overly intense agriculture, not preventing erosion, and using too much fertilizer.

Not only is fertilizer very energy intensive to produce, it also contributes to de-oxygenation of lakes, rivers, and the ocean. It's no exaggeration that this might well end civilization on earth. If we lose the oceans (which are already becoming oxygen depleted) it's going to be that much harder to feed everyone.

So I'd consider volcanic ash a pro, not a con. Sure we might lose a single growing season, but could help us for centuries, if properly managed.
“We needed to destroy the constitution in order to save it”
> OAuth uses access tokens, which are typically, but not limited to, JSON Web Tokens

This claim is misguided, but I hear it quite often. JWT is a very popular (and downright terrible[1]) format, but I there is no evidence that most of the tokens use JWT. It could be worse - I've heard some people claiming with confidence that OAuth mandates JWT.

The reality is that OAuth 2.0 predates JWT, and the implicit assumption was that all tokens are stateful. The access tokens in the examples are all short, and the spec strongly recommends revoking access tokens in case of access code reuse.

This makes JWT access tokens a non-canonical implementation of OAuth 2.0. You could add a "jti" claim (or "uti" claim in case of Microsoft) and then check for revocations in Redis, but then your only achievement was bloating up your access tokens by a factor of 20. Congratulations!

That's the reason why the other Big Tech companies are not using JWT for Access Tokens. It just doesn't make sense when you are at the scale where you need access tokens to be small and moderately long-lived. Users of JWT are more heavily concentrated on the smaller scale: more recent startups and enterprise customers.

True, true. If they are really shaking down passengers for the hell of it to steal their money, that is obviously messed up. It will certainly make me reconsider traveling to Indiana with a duffle bag filled with wads of hundreds.
Look no further for evidence of the hilarious security theater of the TSA than paying them a yearly fee and checking a box on a piece of paper a random employee in the back of the sad empty local Staples store that says "I'm not a terrorist I swear". And suddenly you dont have to take off your shoes or be body scanned and literally none of it matters...
I question this use of "possibly" here: can you? Not hypothetically, but can you actually win rather than the case being dragged out until you drop it or the judge sides with their government?
Funny you mentioned the “4th” there
So if someone after two weeks had their semen consistency change to be completely watery, would it be their eyes that produced the nocebo effect or? Or how is the doctor who went on it for a few months, lost erections, then gained them back after quitting explained by a nocebo?

Again, I've heard at least 5 of these first-hand, which is kind of wild for a drug I've probably only talked to 20 people about in total.

We're terrible at detecting changes over long periods of time. If anything I'd think long term users would be much more liable to bias.
I’m curious your motivation. To me this is the easiest way for scams/bad actors to generate a lot of not-good-for-society content.
Show HN: I made a simplified mail merge tool for sending mass personalized email
Hey HN.

About a month ago, I was sending a lot of emails for one of my products. I needed to personalize a lot emails and I realized that the processes was time consuming.

I started searching for a solution and discovered the mail merge method. I tried it with a few platforms, and realized it wasn't really user friendly. I also noticed that the platforms I was using was limited in the amount of emails you could send unless you get a subscription.

I created this product out of frustration with existing mail merge platforms that lacked intuitive usability and imposed subscription models.

As a user myself, I found the process cumbersome and costly, especially for occasional users or small-scale projects.

I wanted a solution that offered straightforward, pay-as-you-go pricing, where users pay only for what they use without being tied down by recurring fees.

The project's ui is still work in progress but it is functional.
There is. At some point they might realize and you might not be paid anymore.

And this mindset + your background just keeps explaining your problems and struggles. Don't blame the tools.
I don't think experiencing the benefits of a drug free society is part of the constitution.

Are treaties still worth something? In a world where authoritarians defect the "global community" and start wars of conquests that violate MAD , are those papers and laws still worth something?
Motor racing has the best opportunities for cheating by engineering and almost cheating by creatively interpreting the rules. My favorite two cheats are the NASCAR that shed weight in the form of ball bearings when lapping, and Toyota's air restrictor that opened up when installed that got them banned from rally racing.
As I've already said, a model isn't reality; it's just the most useful representation we can use to suit our rules and processes. A model of the English language is by definition flawed, because humans don't actually work that way. A model of species is by definition flawed, because life doesn't evolve so cleanly. A model of morality most definitely doesn't work beyond finding commonalities, finding common ground, and reaching consensus (soft of). And those models fail us. All the time.

But we constantly lose sight of this, and so our rules trundle along as we blindly believe that our rules of how things should work will just magically do that.

America, Germany, and China gained power because of the great waterways (Mississippi, Rhine, Yangtze) that give them a HUGE cost advantage in moving goods (more than 10x) compared to everyone else. It's how they became rich and powerful. And they benefit from leveraging that into even greater advantages through human ingenuity. Meanwhile, countries in shitty geography (prosperity-wise) don't have a hope in hell of gaining anything like that, simply because their people were born in the wrong place. Is that fair? Is it moral to force them to pay what little they have for just a taste? You may say yes, but they'll definitely say no, and steal what they can. Is that fair to the companies that spent money and time developing these things? Can you come up with a model for this that makes everything moral?

The fact is, our Western "morality" is hugely weighted towards property. I own this. I decide who can use it. I control what you can do, not because you lack the capability, but because I have this power of law to prevent you. And of course some level of property is necessary to the functioning of society. But that's pragmatism. We're about finding systems that work, and then justifying them after the fact by any means necessary.

If you want to see morality in action, just watch kids playing at recess. It's a chaotic mess that reaches an equilibrium somewhere. And although there will be commonalities to match how our evolved instinctual behaviors tend to work, it'll never be the same each time.

We dress it all up in fancy language, but somehow the models that we base our morality upon always seem to lack any acknowledgment of the inherent advantages we privileged live under. And then we conveniently declare the "level" playing field to be the one that our privilege is founded upon. And it's not like we're doing it consciously, either. The human mind is a tricky thing, able to deceive itself in so many ways as it tries to reconcile itself as a good person.
Yes. The big tours had big cheating and the omerta going on for almost a hundred of years. And the never caught ex-dopers are now TV commentators or race managers.

Without illegal methods you wouldn't be able to perform at this level. Go watch "Icarus"

> How can we even call it aggression for China to act in the China Sea

Weird logic. I’m assuming you’ll be OK if India lays claim to the entire Indian Ocean.
It could be that I'm just not trained enough on other genres, but I'd argue that the differences are generally bigger, and the genres being much more numerous makes perfect sense. Because "Electronic [Dance] Music" just means that electronic instruments were used more prominently than any acoustic instruments. That says extremely little about the music. Whereas Jazz means something very specific.

To name three "Electronic Music" genres, if you compare Hardstyle vs UK Dubstep vs Tropical House, I'd say the difference is much bigger between any pair than "Nu Jazz" vs "New Orleans Jazz".

You can conveniently grow an opinion on this here: https://everynoise.com/

There are genres of electronic music that are like metal (very uptempo, in-your-face, maximalist) and ones that are like jazz (smooth, free-flowing, open, not maximalist). Both being very common and huge subgenres. But where's the jazz that sounds like metal or the metal that sounds like jazz? They might exist, but would be incredibly niche.

Besides, people nitpicking over subgenres exists in many genres. Metal (or really "Music featuring heavy electric guitars") is famous for it. But in both it's only a small minority of people who spends their time doing this, mostly teens or people online, very rarely people actually visiting and enjoying shows.

"Jazz" should be compared to "Techno". And people definitely go to "Techno" festivals, even though you can further divide it into "Hard techno", "Industrial techno" and so on.

Smartphone cameras aren't stereoscopic by default... yet, but that's probably coming. Rumors are that the iPhone 16 will have a stereoscopic camera layout on some or all models, for example.
Isn't the rate that is “trouble” up to the couple? I can imagine a really compat couple who trust one another bringing up a dozen small things, and each hearing them with humility. If they're both the sorta ppl who really want to “get” their partner, that could be them discovering the boundary between selves in higher and higher resolution

I dunno, lots of ppl in the thread seem to dislike the idea, but I don’t think theres a universal healthy/unhealthy line. It’s seemingly just a matter of taste and synchrony between partners :)
Gosling created a Unix clone of the PDP-10 Emacs in 1981, about five years later.
It's the thing that the entire drivetrain bolts to. Aero matters, but the differences between frames are negligible.

If we're talking about emotors, they need to be compatible with the drivetrain, regardless of frame.
Wait now I'm imagining purely mechanical regenerative braking. Like the bike has no ability to generate its own power, but it has a spring (or compressed air or compressed liquid) inside the frame that contributes to turning the gearshaft but gets rewound/compressed while braking.

Is this possible? Would it be against the rules as written?
Might not have two kids, but not single is absolutely true. People here tend to find a partner pretty quickly in life.

Anecdotally, a friend is trying to date in her early 30s and basically has no dating pool. Not many single men in their 30s have a stable job, crime free background, and avoid hard drugs.

I think they called it bath salts to be able to sell it as such and they called it designer drugs to make them attractive.

I’m old enough to remember a time when it didn’t really matter, the wrong person getting on the wrong flight was more of an issue for that person and maybe the airline.

Governments, like many other institutions, tend to find ways to generate demand for their services. By the time it happens the response is; ‘of course we need these things’, and in time that will be replaced by ‘that’s the way it has always been’ by people who don’t know any better. Just because it’s normal now doesn’t mean it always had to be this way.

I’m not going to summarize everything the whole salami encompasses - that’s a rather big topic that’s probably best left as an exercise for the reader.
Masters live to be surpassed by their students. Just because something was best in class in the 80s doesn't mean it should still be used.

The DEA popularized the term designer drugs in the 80s to refer to drugs designed to evade legal restrictions. That's what it commonly refers to, similarity of effects is secondary to demand.

The mockumentary Tour de Pharmacy is a fun watch about this and doping.

> To appreciate the peculiar beauty of cycling you need to understand what it is.

In the middle of nowhere, festoons are hanging over the streets of a small village. It's a long forgotten village, except for today, when for around 10 seconds, it becomes the stage of a show in which the nation's biggest hero's and antihero's participate.

The noise of the television helicopter coming closer is the sign for the butcher and the baker and their customers to leave their shops and head for the street. Here they line up next to the village's grandads and grandmothers, who are firmly holding the hands of their grandkids, equally excited, eagerly awaiting the caravane of sponsor cars and police bikes that signal the head of the race.

There is nothing quite like the vivid brush of colors of the jerseys of a peloton rustling by at 60 km/hour. The whoosh of two hundred times two 25mm rubber tubes rolling over asfalt, a peloton displacing itself through air as one giant organism, the sound of shifting gears, the shriek of someone hitting the brakes, a shout perhaps to warn for a pothole or the odd street furniture. A sunray hitting the large sunglasses covering most of the faces of the riders, the rest of which give away a familiar mix of concentration and nervousness. The same questions racing through the minds of all the riders. "Did I train enough?" "How much will I be able to suffer today?"

Vamos!! Alé alé! Cries from the spectators at the side of the road, transcending any language, the grandma and the grandkid equally loud. Support, not for a particular team, less for a particular rider. Encouragement that is as much destined for the champion, feeling the pressure, chasing a new record, as for the anonymous rider who tries to make him or herself believe that if everything falls into place, it is possible for him or her to sneak away and grab an upset victory. It has happened.

A rider at the back of the bunch, looking for distraction, his legs hurting more than they ought to, spots a kid at the side of the road and throws his bottle at her feet. Rare will be the moments in her life that she will feel equally much at the center of the world.

Ah, the beauty of cycling. Maybe I misunderstand what it really is.
You’re likely better off getting a job that pays better, but being laid off more frequently.

If the layoffs never happen, you’re in a massively better position. If they do, the extra income still puts you ahead of staying at a stable, but poorly paying job.
The idea that Texans don't like government regulations isn't really backed by evidence. For example, the Cato Institute ranks Texas #17 in terms of overall freedom versus nearby states like Arizona which ranks #4 and Nevada which ranks #5.

Pro bike weights are already often below UCI minima (6.8kg IIRC), and ballast is added to meet minimum weight requirement. So I guess this could replace some of the ballast.
This isn't a complete extension, as mentioned in the README several times. I wanted a poc to use the new jiff library in SQL functions to test if it works. It did, so I put it in a repo for others to see. Definitely not production ready, it will change a lot in the future.

Also one note: load_extension isn't required, you can statically compile this and other extensions into an application. That being said, load_extension itself doesnt make your application 'vulnerable.' SQLite offers many features to limit and control dynamically loadable extensions, like sqlite3_enable_load_extension() and SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION. Of course it depends what your definition of "security" is, but load_extension() doesn't need to be dangerous.

Would you tell people to shut up about that case because they don't have a registered trademark?

I especially like how I'm the one telling people to "shut up" all of a sudden.

One of the things that will define the AI era is that the cost of computation for one user drastically outweights what you could normally make in ad revenue.

Thats why I have to pay more for Chat-GPT than I do for Netflix.

What do you think adoption would look like Alexa costs 20 a month on top of the hardware? Because that may be approximately what it would cost for Amazon to be able to run an AI to power Alexa.

Apple is the only one that is partially immune to this, because they can run the software on your phone, at least some of the time.
