Do they? The most popular service on the Fediverse is Mastodon, a service specifically for short-form content (character limit is 500 or something I think), and it seems to thrive as far as I can tell, which if Mastodoners were resistant to short-form content, it wouldn't.
is there a way to block any PG posts from my feed?
My guess is that “Europe” is being used as a proxy for “high latency, low bandwidth” – especially if the person in question uses a VPN (especially one of those terrible “SSL VPN” kludges). It’s still surprisingly common to encounter software with poor latency handling or servers with broken window scaling because most of the people who work on them are relatively close and have high bandwidth connection.

It's almost like the Fediverse isn't Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley isn't the Fediverse, but instead they're two different groups of people with some overlap, but vastly different goals.

I agree... I also think that for people with specific use cases, the rapid depreciation means that there are great deals available for used LEAFs. I wouldn't buy one new now.
Companies (mainly media based) have been moving from giving the customers what the customers want, to giving the customers what the company wants. This is just another one of those.

It's more effort to figure out whether a requested small favour is really needed than it is to just go along with it. Also the extra effort spent to give a reason, regardless of the quality of the reason given, is itself a signal indicating the importance of the request to the requester. You're more likely to help someone, all else being equal, if they really need the help. This seems pretty straight forward to me.

Interesting link, though!
Imagine it’s not a computer, it’s a piece of paper. And the paper is a bit dirty and you can’t quite tell if it’s a 4 or a 5. You guess it’s 4, but the print-out says 5. Do you pass the exam?

Imagine you ask your friend “hey, what’s twenty divided by five?”, and they say “four” and then you realise you misspoke and meant to say “what’s twenty divided by four?” Is your friend wrong?

Of course not, in both cases.
I’m autistic and find that well crafted typography helps me to read things more easily with less distraction. It’s not just dyslexics who might struggle with bad typography. I also know some ADHD people with similar issues to me. And 20% of the population is highly sensitive. I’m not saying it would matter for all of them, but for some, it surely does.

Whether this tool makes it “better” is another question. I tend to think there are general rules for “better” typography but when you get to the details, it depends on the individual and how they perceive and process information. One friend who is ADHD likes very cramped text which looks jumbled and messy to me, making it difficult to pick out individual letters. If the before case looks better for you, that’s a valid criticism.
Good riddance!

I never had the patentice to fuss with actually setting the alarm using the irritating multiple-mode/single-button controls and extra layer of complexity of multiple alarms, alarms for weekends, and whether you want a pre-selected radio station to play rather than the buzzer. To make it worse, when I did wake up groggy to the alarm I invariably hit the largest button to make it stop-- snooze, only to be further irritated when it would go off again as I was having breakfast.
They shouldn’t have downvoted you.
No. I usually edit directly in Wikipedia, my edits are sourced and uncontroversial I try not to deal with the bureaucracy. I took the time to contact the original news outlet and they did the correction pretty fast, Wikipedia had been referencing a secondary sources and those were not that helpful. About five emails, maybe four hours of my time.

It's been only four days since a phone alarm would have let me sleep through giving a talk. Android rebooted, somehow got stuck in a reboot loop (I think), discharging faster than the crappy charger charged. Luckily jetlag worked in my favor for once...
It's important to have time for yourself. You might want to think about scheduling some, if it feels like you can only really relax when you're sick.
That's very interesting. Did the memory boost persist? If so do you do any maintenance exercises like the original ones or have you noticed other effects?
Yes. The rules of the game are the rules of the game, or at least until some nutjob tears up the rule book. It's inextricably linked. So, we play by the rules.

In the UK, if a small-c Conservative has no one to vote for, that citizen should ask themselves whether there's someone they really should vote against and cast their vote accordingly, holding their nose if they must. In the last UK election, I didn't get the impressions that either side was particularly dangerous to democracy or order, so maybe an abstention is justified. I think that this upcoming US election is a little different.

Weimar Germany had a proportional system and the responsibility of actively voting against Hitler moved from the citizen to the citizen's representative in the Reichstag. The SPD just couldn't bring themselves to support the KPD and box the Nazi's out. They opted to temporize and accommodate. Then the rule book was torn up, and it all went to hell in a handbasket.

Both electoral systems can exhibit pathologies if the parties responsibly for saying "no", the citizen in a FPTP system, or their representative in a PR system fail in their responsibility.
Why not just never connect it to the internet and never update the firmware?

I do wish I could just buy a dumb tv that just did TV things… but it’s simple to just use an Apple TV and never connect it. Or if I absolutely must to set it up or because there is a bug. Connect it via Ethernet briefly.

Better for privacy too.
To be honest I got these talking points through youtube comments. It is so obvious for anyone who pays little attention. Not that difficult.
Running an experiments isn't just about proving others wrong, it's also about adding confidence to current understandings and finding new details that might have been overlooked so far. Even as one who considers evolution a very solidly shown mechanism I'd like to see something like this be a bit of a "pitch drop experiment" equivalent where we run it as long as possible. Partially for the novelty, partially to see what the lab conditions result in over an extended period that we might not have intended, and partially to try and shore up even more support for what we think we're certain of. It'd also be nice to control for a few other considerations in the experiment... but I'll take what I can get on something so long running :).
"We found little or no effect of reducing saturated fat on all‐cause mortality (RR 0.96; 95% CI 0.90 to 1.03; 11 trials, 55,858 participants) or cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.95; 95% CI 0.80 to 1.12, 10 trials, 53,421 participants), both with GRADE moderate‐quality evidence.

There was little or no effect of reducing saturated fats on non‐fatal myocardial infarction (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.07) or CHD mortality (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.16, both low‐quality evidence), but effects on total (fatal or non‐fatal) myocardial infarction, stroke and CHD events (fatal or non‐fatal) were all unclear as the evidence was of very low quality. There was little or no effect on cancer mortality, cancer diagnoses, diabetes diagnosis, HDL cholesterol, serum triglycerides or blood pressure, and small reductions in weight, serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and BMI."

This is your citation for saturated fat is evil?
How does that paragraph interact with the claim that high serum cholesterol is not harmful?
Minimal? HPPD and DP/DR are incurable. When will psychedelics advocates be intellectually honest instead of being cultists and shills?

JS0 is supposed to be a high level language. Theoretically it could improve performance by allowing more explicitness in the generated code than in normal JS, thus helping out the JIT optimizer.

"Many non-commercial vehicles (both auto and truck) have exceeded 1,000,000 miles (1,600,000 km).

It sounds like they were never able to bridge the gap of turning the casual interest of folks expressing their counter-culture into enough money to survive. To their credit, it's much better to recognize when they did that the utopian experiment wasn't a viable business, than to try to drag more funds out of folks to keep it on life-support.
> Only huge projects can afford to have multiple Discords, Telegrams, IRCs, Wikis

There's one option available to small projects and actually you already named it yourself:

> relay bots.

Take for example Nim community. It's not huge by any margin, but we have fairly active forum[0], occasionally active Telegram channel and most of activity is on Discord, IRC and Matrix. I've grouped these three because they're almost seamlessly connected with relay bots into one platform. You can join one of several bridged platforms[1] and talk to everyone on Discord, Gitter, Matrix, etc. with quotes, pings and attachments working as you'd expect them to.

It is certainly an extra burden to moderate and manage all of this, but now you can atleast have an IRC archive[2] that's indexable and searchable [3].

On the other hand, having Discord as your *only* place for discussions is plain stupid (read: foolish). Because I know several people, including myself some years ago, that just 'nope out' from using a project when they see that the only place to get support is a Discord channel.

Someone wanting to subscribe to the YT-channel? I don't visit 500+ blogs per day just to check if there's something new. I do miss Google Reader, I think about it almost every single day, I tried using other tools but I really think the RSS-era is over.
The problem is, conflating theories (beliefs really) with truth is one of the things reproached to past religious people. There's no shame in saying: "we don't know for sure, but this is reasonable so far".

If we don't, then we're sowing the seeds for discord for when our theories will need to be updated. And it's reasonable to think that they will, as, so far, most (all?) scientific theories has evolved.

IIRC, Darwin's views on evolution require patching e.g. to take into consideration chaotic incidents affecting mortality/genes propagation (e.g. asteroids, epidemics).

Maybe if that theory keeps accumulating patches, it'll end up very different from where it started!

"...Still in the early stages, Loops is not yet open sourced, nor has it completed its integration with ActivityPub, the protocol that powers Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and other federated apps..."

Hey, PeerTube is already open source, and works on ActivityPub:

this article is sort of clickbaity

Note, https://loops.video/ splash page doesn't even have any content, just a sign up.

"...interested testers will be emailed when it’s possible to actually start using the new app..."

kinda seems fishy.

Note, PeerTube is functional - you can watch and download videos on it today!
I don't agree with "Factorio is like work". The grind is no different to me than playing Diablo. It feels like a comparison that programmers love to tout because it makes for a memeable and relatable story but at its core it's just like any other gameplay loop.

As opposed to you encouraging naivite among the general population about bioengineered products? We do need a good amount of opposition to this incredibly naive viewpoint that so many people like you have of accepting whatever nonsense some scientist says as unquestionable truth. If the people involved in bioengineering feel so strongly that the population need to take particular drug, make that argument scientifically instead of going into histrionics about FUD or whatever.

Trust in scientists have plummeted in the last few years because of very good reasons (vaccine mandates, for one). Trust is hard to build back up, so if you want the trust back, you will have to do the decades long hard work of building it back up instead of complaining about it. It's not coming back just because you complain about it.
Oh, I see. Unusual use of language, but sure, that’s fairly accurate.

That said, I’m here to discuss the article and any related claims around the healthfulness of saturated fat. It may be that someone has some insight that I’m not aware of and I gain some additional knowledge. So I’m not purely here to point out misinformation (though there’s lots of it here!).

I don't know if it qualifies as long distance, but I have traveled across Japan a couple of times on train, from Sapporo to Fukuoka. Not in one day, I stopped for a few days in between, but I have done Sapporo to Nara and Kyoto to Sapporo in a day.

I loved all of them, worst train journey I had was Tokyo to Osaka... landed in Japan, slept overnight at an Airbnb and got up to get on the train to Osaka, but we missed our first train... was not a problem catching the next one, but we decided to eat lunch first. Got on the next train and got about 1/3 of the way to Osaka when the train had to stop due to a typhoon. We were stuck in the train for hours, by the time they let us off (we were stopped at a station, but not at the platform) it was too late to book any lodgeing anywhere near the station, and all the food was sold out everywhere nearby. We ate snacks we brought with us and slept on the train station floor! It was an adventure for sure. But things like that can happen when flying too and are quite rare on Japanese trains.

Don't have any experience with cross country train travel anywhere else, but I love doing it in Japan!
Well yes and no but the big difference is that we used to do both, chase after the user and the seller.

We have slowly realized this doesn't really work.

Instead we are moving towards harm reduction but that's easier said than done and I think we will see a new approach towards drug selling.
I remember you made a few similar projects in the past with very nice graphics.

At the end of the day it's about practicality.

Contrast 0^0 with 0/0. Both of them are considered undefined, but the former is often defined "locally", e.g in a given textbook or article to have the value 1. That's not true for 0/0 because it's not been found to be useful.

There is lots of evidence in chromosome number changes, mostly duplications. Many grasses that we use as crops, such as wheat, have multiple genome copies and thus a much higher number of chromosomes.
Interesting. Unfortunately (for me at least), I don't have a solution for this problem, but I think such a prize could improve the chances of new breakthroughs in security that allows ai agents use secrets in many tasks. Allocating resources for crucial tasks is an intelligent decision.
> getting high is a maladaptive coping strategy chosen by some people

The problem with saying this is that being high simply isn't a single thing. It’s a huge spectrum of experiences done for different reasons.

My experience with psychedelics is that they are extremely fun. Sure, it’s escapism - in the same way a funfair or a film is escapism. That doesn’t make it immoral. It’s not even clear that it’s self harm - certainly no more than horse riding is a form of self harm (statistically speaking).

This used to be much more common. I worked on a product in 2004 that licensed a library around providing a nice SDK for different payment processors. Effectively making it super simple to switch or route payments to different processing gateways.

We paid on a per domain basis and also paid a yearly maintenance fee to get updates. Nothing stopped us from just using the library in ways that violated the license but we didn’t. The threat of lawsuit is an effective deterrent if the ethical concerns aren’t.

In my experience for B2B the people that are going to steal from you were never going to pay anyways.

Small states already don’t matter, with EC only “battleground” states matter; which feels way way worse.

Kid’s ability to make it through the ranks of academia in my personal anecdotal evidence depends less on financial ability or social standing in China compared to the US or India.

I agree that it is merit driven above anything else - not sure I would agree that this is favoring wealthy kids/certain social class in a more disproportionate way than what we see in India or the US.

Now, I will say that neither university nor high school in China or India imho prepare kinds for success in life or the corporate world. Europe (with a hands-off “you get no help and will just struggle your way through life and learn quick”) and the US (“here are actual experts dedicated to help you succeed) seem imho to produce capable graduates for the corporate world.

Is 800 euros that bad? In the US, we were quoted $10k a few years back. Even if fiber is already at the road, $800 is probably a fair price just to trench the line from the road to your home and install an entry point. If they provide free installation, then they have to make up the cost by raising your rates.
Two long comments by the same person as far as I can see.
There are other factual problems with this article. Most jarring is that it repeats this old incorrect information:

> Inside the Chaturbhuj Temple in India (left), a wall inscription features the oldest known instance of the digit zero, dated to 876 CE (right). It is part of the number 270.

This is the real oldest known zero:

> Because we know that the Çaka dynasty began in AD 78, we can date the artifact exactly: to the year AD 683. This makes the “0” in “605” the oldest zero ever found of our base-10, “Hindu-Arabic” number system.

> But the Cambodian stone inscription bears the first known zero within the system that evolved into the numbers we use today.

Maybe the Khmers came up with it or maybe they got the idea from India. Either way, we should set the facts straight.
