DIDs are stable only in the context of a specific 'verifiable data registry' as the spec puts it.

https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#dfn-verifiable-data-registry

DIDs delegate trust and authority to a data registry, in exactly the same way that DNS delegates trust and authority to ~ICANN.

The system model is exactly the same. The difference is only in the properties of the authoritative entity.
They have a targeted DNA edit that will fix the defect. They can't apply it cleanly.

Reversing the cause would require something nonsensical like editing their ancestor's DNA before they were born.

I think we're in agreement then -- this article is not about "did mitochondria evolve from absorbed viable organisms as opposed to evolving directly", which is an interesting question that impacts our understanding of evolution in microbiology. The article is about whether "Microchondria Are Alive" which is a useless naval-gaze.

They are more or less exactly describing the change they are making, indicating they do understand the code, they just can't edit it cleanly.
Yeah. I'm having so much fun with F# that I absolutely did not anticipate. Sure, it's something everyone using .NET knows about but I genuinely underestimated it and wish more people gave it a try. Such a good language.

As for the hate - my pet theory is that developers need something like a sacrificial lamb to blame their misfortunes on, and a banner to rally under which often happens to be "against that other group" or "against that competing language", and because .NET is platform that happens to be made by microsoft and is a host for two very powerful multi-paradigm languages causes it to be a point of contention for many. From what I've seen, other languages do not receive so much undeserved hate and here on HN some like Go, Ruby or BEAM family receive copious amount of unjustified praise not rooted in technical merits.

Much of science is about defining words in ways that match the underlying general structure of the system being studied.

A subset of scientists want to come up with an operational definition of "What is life", which may or may not include things like viruses and mitochondria. As you say, it's mostly definitional, but by defining this, we can potentially make our understanding match up with the latent reality.
They do communicate with each other for the "Find My" feature to work even when disconnected from cellular and wifi. It is basically the same operating principle behind Apple Tags.
For me, a desktop is a logical group of programs for something I'm working on, not necessarily a specific layout of non-maximized programs. This also allows for less pollution of programs when Alt+Tabbing, which you might benefit from.
Just today, I got a notification on my Pixel to turn on "Theft Offline Device Lock". I can't claim that it puts the phone into a pre-first-auth state, I've not tried it yet and the docs aren't clear. Along with it came a "Remote lock" features, where visiting android.com/lock and putting in your phone number will also lock your device, so it requires the screen lock to unlock.

It would be sensible if both these features put the phone into a pre-first-auth mode.
Which is quite low. My manual caliper is precise to the 1/10 of a mm, my electronic to 1/100 (but I would say 0,02 is the more realistic)
The manual one is not good, harbor freight quality, electronic is a mituyo (not an entry level). Still - good ROI on both, got the electronic one because my eyesight is not that good anymore.
Yeah, I hear you. I get frustrated because I would like to dig again into frontend, but everything is very much in flux, so unless I am constantly developing on the frontend, I am wasting my time because I would use it only occasionally, so things will change again by the time I work on a bigger project
A buddy of mine worked his way through college cleaning out meth labs in homes and motels after they had (typically) blown themselves up. They are toxic nightmares. He was especially shaken when he'd find the family photos indicating that the labs were operating while children were in the home.

The professional labs would absolutely not close down due to lack of customers, there would just be even more meth available, more contaminated, with the bonus of hazmat sites peppering communities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...

In each of the seventeen states and DC, National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has been passed by the state legislature, and signed by the executive branch, except for Hawaii (whose governor tried to veto it but it was overriden).

The bills followed all the proper steps to be signed into respective state's laws. It's not some kind of "agreement." It's the LAW. If you don't like it, feel free to go campaign in those states to change the LAW.
It's not the only drug treated this way. You can go to any pharmacy and see a ton of things on the shelves that are just cards you have to take to the counter, and then see what's actually behind the counter. Insulin needles, for instance, even though you can also just buy those in bulk on Amazon. I'm not sure what does and does not get tracked in a statewide database, but at minimum, regular Ephedrine, typically sold under the brand name Bronkaid, is tracked this way, because it can also be used to manufacture meth. I don't even think in this case there is an alternative formulation like there is with Sudafed and generic equivalents.

The monthly purchase limits on these tend to be ludicrously high, though. I think they're state by state, but in Texas, you can purchase up to 9 grams a month.
I made a Free Fake Tweet Generator in the new X design
Hey HN!

I just launched a Fake Tweet Generator that lets you create realistic-looking tweets in the latest X (formerly Twitter) design. I made it because I kept seeing the need for quick mockups or fun social media content that looked authentic without much hassle.

How It Works
Just enter your text, customize the name, handle, and metrics, and generate a tweet image in seconds. It’s totally free and requires no sign-up or download, so you can use it instantly.

Would love any feedback!
It’s extremely arrogant actually to post that incoherence and put the work on to us to make sense of.
Of course it is classified. In Wikipedia itself there is a phylogenetic tree listing its closest relative the alphaproteobacteria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion#Origin_and_evolu...
1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_curse

2) By "organism" I assume you mean "cell" since humans have several thousand different species with their own DNA living on or inside the body at any given moment. We can speak of animal cells, which have two (species and mitochondria) - and plant cells, which have three (species, mitochondria, and chloroplasts). If there can be one two or three, I don't see why there couldn't be even more.

3) Mitochondria are usually sequestered within the cell, which limits their exposure to immune cells. The immune system primarily targets pathogens that are outside the host cells. In fact, some pathogens can exploit mitochondrial pathways to evade immune detection - the most famous of which is HIV.
Did the EHT project ever try to image a reference object that was simultaneously visible with a traditional telescope such as Hubble or Webb?

I find it curious that they would try to image something that hasn't been observed by telescopes, and where we don't even know it's true appearance, without first proving that the method would work for something we already know, to act as a reference.
This is a fantastic read, thanks for linking it. Linus's pragmatic approach really comes to the fore.

Interesting nugget: the Swallowtail Catastrophe (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/SwallowtailCatastrophe.html), one of the seven possible, was named by the blind French topologist Bernard Morin (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Morin).

Nitpick: except red blood cells. White cells very much do have mitochondria.

RBC's don't need them because they are incredibly low-metabolism. It's energetically cheaper for the organism just to make them, let them go for a few months, and then recycle the components.
I dunno if I agree it's a total navel gaze.

For example I could easily see a scientist asking the question, "if mitochrondira are not alive, at which point did the phagocytosis of the initial prokaryotic cell lead to the mitochondria not being alive?" "What components were lost in the cell that lead to the loss of life?" I agree these aren't particularly useful, and are ultimately definitional, but definitions matter a lot in science, especially when paradigms change.
They've mapped polls showing economy being the biggest voter issue and correlated that with voter behavior.

Also, they mapped the counties highest hit by wages trailing inflation in PA.. They flipped for Trump from Biden this round.

It's a referendum on the current party in office, so people just want change and that was promised to them heavily by Trump.

But man.. Trump wasn't the only other choice. There was a whole GOP primary lol.
GP said:

> Some people stopped buying pseudoephedrine entirely, either because they were offended by these rules or because they were afraid that they could wrongly be implicated in meth investigations if they appeared to buy it too often.

This has actually happened [0], and I seem to remember more instances (at least when the law was first passed). I know I have also gone to buy it in a headache-induced fog and found that I've forgotten my ID, and on at least one occasion the national drug whatever system was down and they refused to sell it. Because it has to be run through the specific national database, it has to be run through one department and I have been unable to purchase because that department has closed for the day.

These are just what comes to mind when I think about purchasing pseudoephedrine over the years; it's just generally become a pain to get. It makes me wonder if it'd be quicker and easier to just buy meth and reintroduce the hydroxyl group to get my cold medicine.

These sorts of models pop here quite a bit, and they ignore fundamental facts of video codecs (video specific lossy compression technologies).

Traditional codecs have always focused on trade offs among encode complexity, decode complexity, and latency. Where complexity = compute. If every target device ran a 4090 at full power, we could go far below 22kbps with a traditional codec techniques for content like this. 22kbps isn't particularly impressive given these compute constraints.

This is my field, and trust me we (MPEG committees, AOM) look at "AI" based models, including GANs constantly. They don't yet look promising compared to traditional methods.

Oh and benchmarking against a video compression standard that's over twenty years old isn't doing a lot either for the plausibility of these methods.
I've played with aider and didn't like it, is it essentially the same?
That's a good point: I was speaking in a more social manner. Because domains are human-readable, they tend to be used for humans. Bluesky could have chosen to just use domains, but I personally prefer that we have the additional layer of indirection. Plus like, you have the ability (at the low level, not really exposed in the UI in any meaningful way) to be multiple people: I can associate multiple domains with my DID.

That said, you're not wrong that a registry is a registry.
It's still a pain in the ass you can't just go to the gas station and get some, etc... There shouldn't be a need to go to a pharmacy for what should be an over the counter drug that's far more effective than synephrine ever was. The difference between the 2 is night and day, probably because one actually works and the other maybe kinda sorta barely does.

Now that we're moving towards context-specific compression algorithms, can we please use WASM as the file header for these media files, instead of inventing something new. :)
> If we think of mitochondria as non-living organelles, how will we ever harness their full potential?

"Alive" is a fuzzy boundary in concept space that helps humans navigate a fractally complex world. It's not a fact about mitochondria that either hides or reveals structure. We can harness the potential of viruses, and reasonable people can disagree on whether they are alive.

> A lot of things AI is helping with also have good, easy to observe / generate, real-time metrics you can use to judge excellence.

Exactly what I illustrated earlier: your developer productivity metrics. If you're turning code around faster, setting up your network better, turning around insights faster, the AI is working.

> It depends. For a sysadmin maybe not, but for data scientists, the bar would be pretty high just to understand the math jargon.

Why does an AI coding agent need to understand math jargon -- it just helps you write better code. Are you even familiar with what data scientists do? Seems not because if you were, you'd see clearly where the tool would be applied and do a good/bad job.

Reminder: we're talking about evaluating whether Codebuff / alternatives are "pretty good" at X. Just go play with the tools.
tgtweak expressed their opinion on how good the tool rates at some tasks {sysadmin, data engineering, cloud architecture} and your response was to question how someone could have an opinion about it. The obvious answer is that they used the tools and found it useful for those tasks. It may only be _subjectively_ good at what they're using for but it's also a rando's opinion on the internet. As another rando I very much agree with what the person you responded to is saying. You're not going to get more rigor from this discourse - go form a real opinion of your own.
> other strategies were just out competed by this one and lost the opportunity to develop further

Absolutely. It also means--however--that any niche where alternative did exist, when exposed to mitochondrial life, they lost.

Now that I think about it, it would be pretty funny if we're this universe's cheela [1], a freakishly overclocked biosphere that runs faster not because it had to but because it happened to.

That's a very cynical viewpoint and one that's not very easy to convince people of. I don't think it's a very moral stance to take either because it can be used to justify immoral stances. There have always been actions in human society that are held as reprehensible regardless of time or culture that would seem to imply the opposite (or at least that the majority of people who live or have lived at the very least believe in the opposite being true)

This is a great idea. Perhaps add a moderate delay (say 30 seconds or 1 minute) to confuse them even more. Then they will think that airplane mode is active when it isn't.
And in the breath before the condemnation, he equates Lee and Washington/Jefferson as slaveholders, which aligns entirely with the groups he condemns in the next breath. This is what I mean by palimpsest. You read the condemnation and hear just that. The condemned group hears their talking point and the earlier equivocation and celebrates him as an ally, condemnation be damned. The left reads the earlier equivocations (in the quote, and the preceding events) and the talking point and discounts the condemnation as insincere. You can argue that your understanding of his utterance is his true meaning, but other groups can hear, and plausibly defend, the message they want to hear too.

As far as I’m aware we’ve never worshipped mitochondria. And unless you want to count eating which is technically true but not philosophically so, we don’t sacrifice plants or animals to mitochondria.
Immigration at it's current levels might be great but not necessarily if it greatly increased. What you have to demonstrate is that in a world full of climate change caused chaos allowing tens of millions of people into the country is it a bad idea. We don't live in that word yet so referencing the effect of current levels of immigration is not relevant.
According to my doctor, this can weaken the skin too much. 30 minutes is quite a long time.
This is a much more interesting question, and this is what I mean by an operational definition of life. In your first question, "alive" can have useful operational definitions -- whether it is viable outside of a cell, whether it has or had its own immune system and structure, how it survived without the organelles that other full-fledged cells seem to have but mitochondria lack, etc.

The question in the abstract is not really useful except to answer trick questions in bar trivia.
> it had been found the same event had occurred again, fairly recently

Would love to know the source if you have it.
We already have a similar problem to what you describe.

You propose a weakness in our election system where a conspiracy of state officials that wants to influence an election can control who is allowed to vote twice. If they can do this, they can already influence the outcome in their state.

Of course we see no such thing, because the elections are only administered at a state level, they are actually done at a local level, and there's quite a lot of observation and auditing that goes into verifying that things are done correctly.
It's such highly unlikely chance events that make me think we really are alone in the universe (we = a sentient civilizational lifeform). There's just no way the long series of extremely improbable events that led to our rise was replicated anywhere else, and it took the sheer vastness of this universe for it to have emerged even once.

I also discovered Storyteller among the Netflix games and loved it: truly a gem. However, just like you said, when I finished it, I didn't have any reason to come back to it.

"Into the Breach", on the other hand, kept me coming back for a long time. It's definitely an iOS game though: completely unsuitable for most devices that use Netflix.
I don't know why but for some reason, the name Mitochondria is very easy to remember even though it sounds complex.

Depends on the state; at least some have made it prescription-only.

It's much less convenient than going to the nearest 24-hour store and grabbing it off the shelf. And I'm a doctor married to a doctor; I don't have to get an appointment to get a prescription for a non-scheduled drug, but I do have to go during pharmacy hours and wait to pick it up.

That is likely to be true if we take a limited firm-centric view (the local shop will never be the best it can be if the next guy has to be the first son of the last guy). But having a multigenerational shop and shopkeeper, or farms and farmers, may be better for the larger community than a Walmart headquartered in another country or a commercial farm that couldn't give two shits about the locals.

Not saying it is better, but in some cases it probably is. Certainly could be in some cases

> peoples takeaway is that you shouldn't adopt anything from large companies as a small company by default. And thats simply not true.

Yes it is. You said so yourself:

> The point here is to understand what are the problems that are being solved, understand if they are similar to yours, and make a decision based on wether the tradeoffs are a good fit for you.

That's you agreeing: “understand and make a decision” is pretty much the exact opposite of “adopt anything by default” — which
peoples takeaway is that you shouldn't do — isn't it? So you're agreeing with the general takeaway, not arguing against it.

I think this pendulum has stopped swinging and come to a rest. And pendulums (pendula? penduli?) always stop pointing straight down, midway between the extremes: You shouldn't mindlessly reject something just because it comes from a big company, but certainly not blindly adopt it just because it does, either. But, just as you said, understand if it fits for you and then decide based on that.

And hey, on this particular issue, it seems some big companies do it one way, and others the opposite — so maybe the (non-existent) “average big company” is halfway between the extremes, too. (Whatever that means; one-and-a-half repository? Or half an infinity of repositories?)
