I couldn’t agree more.

A few weeks ago I was driving and saw a creek. I should check that out, I thought.

I walked along the creek bed which had mostly dried, and in some puddles and pools, I noticed tiny figures flitting around in the water and ripples on the surface.

Could they be fish? No, at first all I could see was little water striders congregating around the edges of the water. I decided to look closer.

After waiting 30 seconds or so, I saw them: tiny little fish coming out of hiding from behind submerged roots and branches, rocks, and overhangs of the creek bank. Dozens in each puddle, thousands in close proximity along the creek bed.

I decided to pull out my camera and start recording them. I discovered that they were mostly coho salmon, born maybe 4 months earlier, weathering the driest part of the summer yet in these rapidly vanishing pools. Many weren’t making it. Thankfully we’ve had heavy rains since then so they’re likely doing well now.

My recordings picked up a vast, lively, diverse array of tiny creatures. Everything from water mites to daphnia to frogs. Water beetles would spontaneously sneak out and shoot around a pool, searching for what, I have no idea.

Tiny prickly sculpins hid under the stones, occasionally coming out to find food or choose a new hiding spot.

The geology of the creek was a beautiful blend of strange black volcanic rock, soft clay, and the hallmark sandstones of this part of the island I live on. Every bend of the creek revealed new and interesting features. The layers of the clay and sandstone sometimes revealed bizarre swirling patterns. I couldn’t guess the way in which they formed.

I was surrounded by the echoes of at least a dozen ravens at any time, picking through the trees and creek bed for food. They were so fascinating to listen to and watch.

I was transported to another world. It was so deeply enchanting in those woods. Millions of lives playing out in this ridiculously beautiful yet precarious creek bed. Dense woods filled with moss, ferns, and towering cedars.

And the world is filled with these places. I will find another place to pull over soon, and my heart will be filled with wonder again.

It’s all there if you look for it.
A group of cyclists is known as a Peloton. Do with that what you will with regards to "Oral Peloton".
That’s a good explanation! I didn’t think of that :) Thank you, makes more sense than it has some special bias.

Wait, what 2.1% are you referring to? That looks interesting.
Who’s asking that question?
100% agree with this.

I think this is why people love Trump, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan etc, they're all conspiracy theorists who preach an interesting narrative, there is some "establishment" which is hiding all the ills and evil, and if they can break it, then we all benefit.
Card companies can usually trace when and where a card number got used. Using fake numbers would not make that any easier.

Likewise card companies can and do report fraud to the relevant law enforcement authorities.

Credit card fraud detection already includes a lot of sophistication. The problem with stopping it and prosecuting offenders comes mainly from the scale of fraud, the relatively low amounts involved, and the cross-border nature of the crime.

Many credit card providers, at least in the US, let their customers generate single-purpose or short-term card numbers, for when you don’t trust the merchant, or need to let someone else use your card.

If we knew in advance that someone intended to scam us we wouldn’t give them a credit card number at all. How would anyone know when to use a fake number?

That tool’s RSS is somehow 170KB (vs zero for a self-daemonizing process).

Also, it’s incredibly complicated. (I looked at the source.)

Here’s a writeup of a simple daemon: https://pavaka.github.io/simple-linux-daemon-tutorial/

Given that it’s typed once (by the daemon author, and not the end user), it seems like a big win vs. daemon(1) to me.
I see it not as a consequence of policy but a bigger picture consequence of hegemony, a sociopolitical and technological phenomenon over human societies. More concretely, I'd argue the neighboring Canadian brain drain is dual to the Mexican migration and exploitation of Latino workforce, again this gravitational pull of a world superpower being at work. It is a broader problem--the harm done to the social integrity of neighboring states--than merely policy.

It’s funny that you say that, because that’s exactly what a president is supposed to be.

“He presides over the executive branch.”

It’s supposed to be the most boring name, to contrast with the idea of having a king-like leader.

It turns out human anthropology resists such ideal concepts. But the government does function without the need of a highly competent president -The current president’s dementia is a case in point (recall the special counsel said he wasn’t mentally fit enough to be guilty of any wrongdoing).

The article is a mix of half-truths and speculation with a few random facts sprinkled in. It doesn't represent any sort of scientific consensus. Don't take it too seriously.

Infections with typical rhinoviruses and coronaviruses build adaptive immunity to those viruses (as well as those that are genetically similar). This typically reduces the severity of subsequent infections. They didn't stay around for years.

When we talk about things that "strengthen" or "weaken" the immune system that's really an oversimplification. There's a lot more going on in the complete system.

I have 4 Alexa devices. I use them every day as an alarm, a radio in the morning, timers, and to turn lights on and off, and make video calls to my parents.

Like most people when I got my first one I played around with some other things but quickly stopped bothering. I'm perfectly happy with them as they are and don't know what else I would use them for. In browser and on phone AI have already filled the need for AI that I have at the moment.
What is that South American flag? Is it a map of South American nations, like the globe for the “Overview Map”?

You should study ML/AI advanced mathematics.

I really don't understand the distinction you're trying to make here. Nor how do you define "computable confidence" - when you ask an LLM to give you a confidence value, it is indeed computed. (It may not be the value you want, but... it exists)

Open-source SDK for autonomously organizing data in hierarchical structures
It is designed to be fully modular with the ability to have a human/programmer in the loop at any stage of the process.
Enabling you to:
- effectively execute hierarchical orchestration :chains:
- visualize data in an organized manner
- dynamically classify items
- etc. (I would love to learn about what you may use it for!)
Looks cool! May I ask why you created this product and made it open-source? Do you have plans to turn it into a commercial business?

Contribute to the Maui backend for GTK and/or Qt, nothing is stopping you

Alternatively, just because you're on .NET doesn't mean you need to use Microsoft sanctioned UI toolkits, just as C++ has no "official" UI toolkit. You're free to pick up some GTK or Qt bindings if you want a native feeling and your application is already architectures correctly. Alternatively, throw Imgui at it if you just need dev tooling, or maybe try other cross platform toolkits in the ecosystem like Avalonia or Uno

Even for HN, this is an ideologues bridge too far.
I don’t remember the 2.1% thing, it could be an error, I don’t know.

I just remember the density of primes was higher: but your explanation accounts for that — well done — because it filters out.
Basically it's about the "ip" command and some net tools. The rest are a sideshow. And almost all things are both available, or even installed. So.. its a rant in disguise.

I loved this one and tried a bunch of different techniques to replicate it. Finally settled on ffmpeg, with something similar to this:

Again, in theory it fails 2 and 3. However, in practice 3 is a normal part of working with git in a team. Barring a hard fork in git - which is equivalent to a deep copy of a CRDT. Like any deep copy of a data type, a CRDT's deep copy can be used in non-conformant manners (forks are VCS specific jargon for a CRDT deep copy; or shallow copy sometimes).

> If I commit A and then B but someone’s clone only has B applied, you can’t synchronize even automatically; different git histories don’t resolve in any way automatically

Maybe I don't understand your point specifically, but this example seems entirely solved by --rebase. In practice --rebase is typical, and best described as "do your best to automatically resolve histories; I'll handle any of the complex conflicts".

All that said, I already agreed: "academically Git is not a CRDT". However, and I'm happy to disagree with you, in practice Git is the most popular CRDT.

As a Floridian not far from a lightning belt world capital, I also never shower (or wash) when lightning is expected. I remember seeing a photograph of a car with a giant orifice where the hood and window were. Extremely rare, faraday and all, but I've seen some strikes that dignify paranoia and know several people who've lost family to lightning.

I'm more primitive in my safety measures, but that's a pretty cool system you have.

Edit: I also unplug my valuable electronics too, if I'm able. And yes, I've seen all sorts of stuff toasted, from cows to computers.

There’s no risk if your water supply lines are pex instead of copper
personally, the post resonates strongly. focusing on this way of seeing has improved my life tremendously.
based on the very little I know of you (your two posts) it sounds possible that the point isn’t landing. you seem to be living near the “control = safety/happiness” realm, where the high order bit of life is controllability.

try reading it again, and notice how little specific advice is given towards how to cultivate the sort of attention he’s pointing at (maybe his most concrete advice is in the form of a painting of an owl).
are you convinced that by trying hard enough the future can belong to you, or that life owes you something? you can create an arbitrary amount of suffering for yourself by living that delusion (or the opposite one, that you can’t influence anything).

the notion expressed in the post is really worth trying, and simple, but hard to explain.
one idea: the next time you see something you personally find beautiful (a flower, the sky? the fact that the earth supports you effortlessly?) you could investigate whether you did anything to “deserve” that.
Yes those are real issues, and I didn’t necessarily mean to go to the United States, lots of people in the US also flee the border for certain medicine.

It’s, of course, a both/and situation. Try to improve things at home while searching for options if needed.

I do believe there is a bit of absurdity going on where parts of the Canadian system are trying to save money though by offering suicide.
I think it's more because individual pc instances literally doesn't matter anymore. Operating systems and programming languages which lock you into them are irrelevant from a revenue standpoint.

Port knocking is supposed to be a last, self made, no dependency, cheap, cute layer of defense.

Installing external dependencies, even from someone trusted like Moxie, is counterproductive. The more system you have the more vulnerabilities, less is more.

I've actually been fired over this, we were building a product, and I implemented port knocking in python. Lead said it was unsecure and wanted to install an encrypted port knocking protocol.

EDIT: Just read the readme, Moxie is saying the same thing verbatim lol, we cool
On the other hand, I wonder if you might be teaching a bad lesson about neglect of probability [1] here. The shower itself is probably orders of magnitude more dangerous by itself.

I'm wondering because I am also unsure myself if I should be concerned about lightning when showering, or whether it's statistically speaking an absolute waste of time :)

Among the other small nits in your otherwise concise post... the windows only versions of .NET (1-4) were known as .NET Framework. So, Framework is the only windows only version, followed by Core being a limited feature set but cross platform and then .NET 5 (no suffix) being a full featured version that is cross platform.

Yes, amber on black would be far superior.
I know it's not viable, but yet I've always felt IPv6 would have been a nice opportunity to extinguish port numbers. Just give each service its own IP from the /64 the host was allocated.

Then you could have one DNS entry per service. That would have been perfect for residential IPv6 with dynamic prefixes, which require dynamic DNS anyway.

You’re thinking of the FBI, who reported to Trump. The Biden campaign reported things like the non-consensual nudes which did not have any justification as a public interest story.
I start with the assumption that anything sent through or stored by any provider can get decrypted and read. Then I don’t send or upload or backup anything I absolutely have to protect. The number of things in that category in my own life approaches zero, but other people may need more privacy. For them I would advise not using any messaging app or platform they don’t control.

> Columns are cultural iconography (e.g. the Parthenon vs Johnson Wax).

Flashbacks to every McMansion I ever had a client at. It's always gotta have columns. Just jammed in. No sense, no style, no awareness of the form, just "put a column there for no reason."

Columns used to represent something that was _difficult_ to build and place and often carried artwork and detail of their own. The days of them being iconographic lobby structure are long gone.

> Columns can create points that organize spatial experience.

These columns are ugly, do not match their surroundings, and are sat right in the middle of a transition that has no point in being divided. They're also sat in a pair side by side in what is possibly the worst arrangement of column I've seen yet.

> had designed a duck (very common among museum commissions) removing the columns would have been difficult or impossible [1].

This is a wing on the campus of an already existing historic building. Which itself has traditional columns. In an appropriate and iconographic style. I'm with the author, the wing's columns are gaudy and completely misplaced.
I wanted to come here to state this but didn't want to get downvoted into oblivion - it does read like that, particularly this sentence:

Mmm. Yeah, I’ll concede that. Agreed that it would be better without — I clearly glossed past it but that doesn’t excuse it being present.
Respectfully, the Canadian accent (really, Canadian English) is noticeable and distinct from US English, in its pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Yes, there is a lot in common with US English, but calling them the same loses an enormous amount of nuance.

On the other hand, the difference between a dialect and a language is an army and a navy, neither of which Canada has much of.
It certainly is better to know that you can not actually rely on Starlink for emergency services access in the long-term vs discovering it the moment you actually need it.

It would be useless, but technically "conflict-free". Is the addition or removal of that rand function really, pragmatically the difference in the answer to "what is a CRDT?"

Algorithm Raises New Questions About Cascadia Earthquake Record
*compatibility :D
If you're going to claim numbers make your position superior, I'd suggest using more meaningful numbers. 93% vs. 91% is a rounding error. What's the p-value for that?

Makes me wonder. Was Steve Jobs qualified to attend Reed College? How about Bill Gates or Zuck for Harvard? Larry and Sergei? Would society (or their alma maters) be better off if someone took their place who ended up graduating? Or maybe the world is a better place precisely because these people got in to these colleges. Maybe the lower number for men indicates more risk-takers that Caltech will eventually get huge checks from.

Likewise, someone using similar logic might argue that a young woman who decides her junior year she wants to get married, pregnant, and be a stay-at-home mom is overeducated and her slot should have been taken by someone else. Is that career path just as meritorious as others?

For numbers, we could consider the number of Nobel laureates who had gained Caltech BS degrees since 1970: 1 total. Eric Betzig, Chemistry, class of 1983. No doubt there are more to come, but there were 10 prior to 1970. Whatever Caltech was juicing the tank with I would posit has run out, and the institution's best days are behind it. The reason may have nothing to do with this whole gender issue.

I'd like to close this tangent's discussion with the following: Women and men should be judged by their academic prowess alone. If you're going to prefer women, own it, and don't pretend you don't. I bet at least one male future Nobel laureate scratched Caltech off his list because they're biased in this way. Also at least one future male check writer.
