Until reading the first article, I was unaware that one could get decompression sickness from free diving. The Wikipedia article on this dive also says that Nitsch passed out from nitrogen narcosis (and specifically not oxygen starvation) towards the end of the ascent, something else that I was unaware of being a risk (not that I have any intention of trying deep free diving.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Nitsch#Later_attempt_a...

With regard to the hydreliox mix, I see it has a scant 0.8% oxygen, and needs to be less than 5% to avoid having an explosive mixture. Even the latter figure, I think, would lead to hypoxia in most people at atmospheric pressure, so I imagine these ratios are adjusted with pressure, and probably that these mixtures are only used in saturation diving.
I would be shocked if a judge interpreted that to include essentially willful perjury (or at least false statements) to a national security agency.

What the Canadian government does isn't as important as the (now previous) UK government telling foreign doctors to keep away while also not offering enough local people the opportunity to train to make up the difference between supply and demand.

The UK government has no power to keep people in (though my own departure shows they could do a better job of not making people want to leave in the first place), but it does have power over the other two.
That's just a property of the fact that the interesting people all know each other and the uninteresting people don't know them. In some sense, Sam Altman, Emmett Shear, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Paul Graham, Elon Musk, John Carmack are in a shared sphere. And they are interesting whether you think they are smart or not.

You don't hear about John-Pierre Duvage from the coffee shop because he wasn't interesting. In the future, they will talk about the places where these people met.

Groupies always wonder where the musicians are. The musicians find each other easily.
you're confusing something. as your thread sibling explains you cannot get the bends if you're not breathing. he got the bends from aborting the descent, requesting oxygen at that point from a scuba diving regulator and then ascending too fast (while breathing). the too fast ascent of course was medically correlated with why he aborted the free dive.
But under the current system, the wealth generated by those productivity gains is captured by a tiny fraction of the population. Elon Musk has many children, but most people are caught in the rat race.

I’ve used Linux for 20+ years (on servers) and have never been satisfied enough to switch to it for my desktop PC. This move would make me seriously consider a switch for my work PC if we weren’t so dependent on Office.

My advice to young people would be to (try to) build your businesses with as little dependence on Microsoft as possible because everything is commingled to the point that switching is nearly impossible once you’re trapped.
These new AI tools have the potential to be more personally comprehensive and have more widespread adoption than slavery and other forms of servitude. The loss of skill (or lack of development) that the parent commenter is referring to has been discussed as widely as Hegel's master-slave dialectic to Idiocracy. Individuals and cultures that use these tools to replace the innate tools they have developed become qualitatively less sophisticated, unless they are pressured by some other external need, or their own self-mastery. I suspect we will have a mix of all these situations across fields and cultures that adopt these new AI tools, and will need to focus on not only making the tools better, but pressuring ourselves to be better (i.e., we replaced physical labor through previous tools, but have only partly accommodated that lack of physical development through gym culture, sports, and more back to the earth activities like hiking- personal transportation being one of the first things to get replaced by new tools like domesticated animals, bikes and cars). If it happens too fast, or we have other catastrophes, we might need to bring back non-military conscription focused on the environment (as in William James's lecture on the Moral Equivalent of War), in order to prop up our nation state and technological culture that it has provided the foundation for.

Pycpidr: Python library for computing propositional idea density
>I'm already seeing this happening in a number of industries (including software development).

It comes up in all sorts of unexpected places in technology, once things are overly optimized for price often the original better version goes away. Like right now you can't buy a good cassette tape player, because the only ones made now all use the same mechanism that sucks. They stopped making good mechanisms like 20 years ago when people mostly stopped buying cassettes.
Part of me says that python has not gone out of its way to expose preprocessor hooks for good reason, and reasonable adults should stay away from it.

The other part wants nothing to do with reasonable adults anyhow. Such fun could be had.
Well, what's six years worth? Universities love to claim that a four year degree is worth around $1MM, so can we fairly say $1.5MM?

Now, my six year old could definitely handle the work of my employees making $60-80k per year, legalities aside. If we stick with the social norm of 18 years of the child being an extension of the parent, that is 12 years of gains. If I recall, the cost to support a child is $4,000 per year[1], so let's say after 12 years one child will pay out $672,000[2]. $2MM from all three children.

That's a $500,000 payday ($2MM less the $1.5MM opportunity cost) by the time your children have left the nest, or, as the universities like to calculate it, $8MM in additional lifetime earnings. I am quite certain that if you told would-be parents that they stand to gain a $8MM by having three children they would take notice!

Trouble is, in rich countries that is unquestionably considered amoral, and is no doubt illegal. Without that changing, it is, indeed, hard to realize the benefit. But, by the same token, if you forced the people into poverty without a change in those legal and social norms, they're still not going to be able to realize the benefit. It is not poverty itself that is significant.

[1] You will probably be more familiar with a figure around $13,000, but you will notice that it factors in things like the cost of housing, etc. While it is not unreasonable to include those things in certain contexts, for the sake of this discussion it would not be an additional cost. You're probably not venturing into the woods and living under the leaves if you don't have children. The housing cost is there with or without them.

[2] It is more complicated than that, I know. But, for the sake of illustration let's run with it.
Tie things like social security, healthcare in old age, etc. to how many kids a person has had. You only get full retirement benefits if you have had three children and raise them to adulthood. There are bonus levels for going above three children. Those who are infertile can adopt to meet their quota.
Well, there's not a lot of S or F there so it would be expensive. Also, I think the solar wind would tend to lead to significant charge build up (and plasma discharge?) as it was slowly blown away. Might be pretty?

I think that would have been figured out. However, I see another scenario:

She checks herself out (given that she called about leaving I find it reasonable to think she might have), goes to the bathroom and arrests in a stall but is not discovered for a while.

The family is looking for her, the hospital correctly notes that she had checked herself out. Eventually her body is found. She's not a patient since she checked herself out. Somehow it fell through the cracks about notifying her family, or perhaps she didn't have ID on her and the body was sent as a Jane Doe.
New Changes to the EU Browser Choice Screen and Default Apps on iOS and iPadOS
Hi I wrote pycpidr, a Python library for computing propositional idea density. I wrote this because I needed to compute idea density, and couldn’t find an existing Python library. I wanted to share this in case it saves anyone else from reinventing the wheel.

This library ports CPIDR 3.2, and also implements DEPID and DEPID-R.

Idea density is useful for:
- Prose analysis and stylometrics
- Language acquisition in children
- Early detection of cognitive decline, e.g. Alzheimer’s and dementia

> While that’s true, a Peloton attracts a premium price above regular spin bikes.

Well, they used to.
Zwift is maybe more popular with road cyclist because they want to ride actual road bike. Another possibility is marketing. Zwift is promoted at events like Tour de France and is main sponsor of woman's TDF. Now when I thinking about it, it would be odd if Peloton was promoted in bike races. Because the name is so generic in that context.
Somehow my brain doesn't work like that (short aliases).

I usually use long form commands and parameters. I use ZShell history + FZF to get at commands with minimal keystrokes.

Don't really have to remember anything. Some vague snippets will narrow it down really fast.
There is nothing "racist" or colonial about say "The Congo".

As regards the river basin. When applied to the respective countries individually (and without the "Republic of" qualifier), which are after all the context we're talking about here (not the river basin) it has an entirely different connotation. And again, there's simply no modern use case for "The Congo", by itself, as a name for either of these countries.

Whatsoever.
Counterpoint — good-enough technology prevents over-optimization, where we pay too high of a cost for too-marginal gains. It is generally better to reduce the cost of a 98% solution than to maintain the cost of a 99% solution. There will be exceptions for domains that require a 100% solution, but piano tuning is not one of them.
I did not mean to imply that any group had a monopoly on indifference to collateral damage, or it on them. But it has become essentially universal and (to my mind) that is an important sign of devolution.
If you can accept cooperative scheduling that runs tasks only on a single core, then yes, lightweight solutions exist. This is more like "event-driven coroutines" than "green threads" though.

If you want "full" green threads with preemptive scheduling and parallel execution across multiple cores, then an active runtime is needed.

Yeah, I totally understand not wanting to deal with any extra support overhead of enabling the Mac app.

But this also seems like harmful advice if someone is trying to grow their app user base. I'm far more likely to purchase iOS apps that have Mac apps. Depending on the app, it's just far more valuable to me, and I'll prioritize what I buy based on this, e.g. if it's a note taking app, it needs to have a Mac version.

The day Apple stops allowing people to install their own apps outside of the App Store is the day I and many other people stop using Apple products as daily drivers. Apple is aware of this, and already under scrutiny from regulators.

Just got over the most recent COVID variant, have to say it was more more severe than last years. Was much worse than omicron and more similar to delta.
I take issue with people making suggestions that some company is a monopoly each time a company is found to be mistreating its customers.

If one wants to claim that some company of a monopoly - they should back it up with more than one signal... such as a dominant position in the market, no substitutes for the products, or lack of concern about other companies entering the market (such as NordicTrack).
Since we are talking about interactions with the nervous system, how do we go from the pressure at which these gasses were delivered to the alveoli to their behavior in the blood?

I understand the practice GP is describing pretty well but when I try to simulate what is going on in my mind, it's not like these gasses are in gaseous form once they are in the blood. Are we just talking about the concentration that are reached because the pressure affects the diffusion gradient?
That would explain why it sounds so scratchy to me.

Given the preponderance of depression, anxiety, frustration, hopelessness, loneliness, suicide, poor self-care, etc that seems to take hold in "high standard of living" communities, you may be conflating measures of a strong economy with measures of a healthy and durable society.

The 20th century west made an all-in bet that those things might be correlated, and coaxed (and sometimes coerced) others into joining, but it's not clear that the bet is paying off or that it will.
Ah, this brings back memories. Reddit was one of the very first users of EBS back in 2008. I thought I was so clever when I figured out that I could get more IOPS if I build a software raid out of five EBS volumes.

At the time each volume had very inconsistent performance, so I would launch seven or eight, and then run some each write and read loads. I'd take the five best performers and then put them into a Linux software raid.

In the good case, I got the desired effect -- I did in fact get more IOPS then 5x a single node. But in the bad case, oh boy was it bad.

What I didn't realize was that if you're using a software raid, if one node is slow, the entire raid moves at the speed of the slowest volume. So this would manifest as a database going bad. It took a while to figure out it was the RAID that was the problem. And even then, removing the bad node was hard -- the software raid really didn't want to let go of the bad volume until it could finish writing out to it, which of course was super slow.

And then I would put in a new EBS volume and have to rebuild the array, which of course it was also bad at because it would be bottlenecked on the IOPS for the new volume.

We moved off of those software raids after a while. We almost never used EBS at Netflix, in part because I would tell everyone who would listen about my folly at reddit, and because they had already standardized on using only local disk before I ever got there.

And an amusing side note, when AWS had that massive EBS outage, I still worked at reddit and I was actually watching Netflix while I was waiting for the EBS to come back so I could fix all the databases. When I interviewed at Netflix one of the questions I asked them was "how were you still up during the EBS outage?", and they said, "Oh, we just don't use EBS".

PEC never paid greater than market rates, they simply gave a net credit since solar was only reducing load at the service drop for a neighborhood. The cost to them was swapping the meter for a bidirectional one. Now at some point if enough people started using solar, they have the option of either curtailment (which would be automatically reflected in the existing meters), which at that point would justify an increase in fees, but their study was specific that they lowered solar compensation due to being able to sell less power to solar users (not for infrastructure reasons), which makes no sense why they are singling out solar since they offer incentives for other efficiency measures such as more efficient AC units to lower power consumption.
So this! Office is literally the only thing keeping me on windows at this point. And its not as simple as "just use X". There is a lot friction keeping me from switching, a main one being that all my colleagues and collaborators use ut.
You're basically saying web browsers and other applications (including IDEs, chat apps, etc) should remove support for tabs and rely on WMs providing tab functionality. Some of tiling managers you mentioned that I'm familiar with don't have any functionality I would be happy replacing browser tabs with.

> If you have want to have 100 tabs open, you should be using bookmarks or history instead of tabs.

Bookmarks and history have very different UX from tabs, they are clunky to use and I would never prefer them to opening 100 tabs, sorry.

> If you want to have different workspaces, profiles, or so on, use your window manager's workspaces

These workspaces don't enable separation of cookies and other state, they have a very different use case to browser workspaces.

Same here, except without the scare quotes. Understanding the natural world is absolutely core to being intellectually curious. And meteors are relevant to our experience on Earth, as are more generally atmospheric systems on orbital bodies. If you wanted to pick on useless research, you could find a lot better examples than this.
> It is a problem caused by Scuba, and the fact that Scuba does what it is supposed to, extend the time you can spend underwater, is what causes the bends.

To expand on this a bit (pun intended), freediving after SCUBA is extremely dangerous, and this even includes shallow stuff like snorkeling. SCUBA adds dissolved gas to your blood, but once it's there decompression from any source puts you at risk for the bends. Repeated dives will have additional safety limits imposed due to the residual gas, which is managed by a complicated series of dive tables or a modern dive computer.
