I lost both of my parents due to Covid in late January (my Mom) and early February (my Dad) in 2021. I was 38 years old at that time and my parents were in their late 60s. They were very healthy for their age, but it didn't matter. They were gone within a month since their first Covid symptoms. I was on a different continent, international travel was hard during that time (it was still pre vaccines), I had to leave my wife with 2 young kids (6 month old and 4 year old) behind and fly back home alone in order to bury my parents. The OP talks about leaving and waving, and it's very touching. In my case, what almost broke me was the arrival at the airport (after a long 24 hour journey) and for the first time in my life there was nobody waiting and waving (I don't have any siblings). I'm still getting used to the fact that there won't be anyone waiting for me there. Fortunately, I have my own family and I'm greeted with lots of love anytime I come back to them.

My fundamental objection here it that it is recursive. The non-recursive hyperoperators all have nice clean mathematical definitions. The recursive ones are just weird and ad hoc, at least from the perpective of the underlying mathematical structures.
Certificate pinning should be pretty easy to solve in this particular case: just get a proxy/VPN! The Faraday cage shenanigans are pretty cool though.

"Tteck is a legend."

When the shit has really hit the fan personally and yet you still worry about other people: that is the mark of a decent person.

Legend, indeed.
For adults a lot of this depends on the state/country you reside in.

For example it is generally much harder in california, unless there is a "danger to himself and others" (which the suicide note actually HELPS with).

It is important to start treatment promptly. You did the right thing.

Also, independent of location, many people with mental illness have a corresponding condition called Anosognosia, which is basically a lack of insight into your own condition. It works kind of like denial.

A book that can help communicate with someone with mental illness is

I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help! by Xavier Amador

(the author's brother had schizophrenia and communicating is challenging, although the book really helps)

You can pass this on to his family. It is really tough to navigate through this if the person is not cooperative.
As far as I've seen, it was only sold in the US, so EU regs wouldn't apply.

I don't know about every macbook, but I just tried this twice on my 2019 macbook pro and pressing any key on the keyboard (or at least the 2 keys I tried, "f" and "8") will power it on when it is powered off (yes, fully shut down, not asleep). Based on some quick googling, this still appears to be the case for M-series macbooks.

A lot of folks talking about the "10-year-old" part but the more pervasive problem in America is the "walking" part. In many areas of America there is zero infrastructure for pedestrians. Anyone walking is viewed as suspicious because surely no sane person would subject themselves to the danger of walking on these streets. Heaven forbid you are young, brown skinned, or wearing unique clothing - then the act of walking is probable cause. Literally.

I was working on a contract job in Houston and stayed at a hotel a mile from their office. First day was a nice morning so I decided to walk. It was ridiculous to navigate 8+ lane wide intersections. It was loud and not exactly a nice walk, but not unsafe and at least it was better than driving. By the time I got to the office, I realized that the security gate only opened for cars - I wasn't able to trip the sensor to even get the com working! A security guard came out to accost me and immediately treated me like a criminal. He couldn't comprehend why I was traveling on foot and refused to release me until my client came down to rescue me. My client's response, shocked in a scolding tone - "WHY did you walk?". I am apparently insane for wanting fresh air and a little morning exercise.
Answering on behalf of PlanetScale (I'm the CTO!). I don't remember exactly what was different from upstream, but it wasn't a whole lot of changes.

Fortunately, PlanetScale runs a well-maintained fork ourselves, so we're very used to taking custom changes and getting them deployed. In this case, we asked the Block team for all of their changes and went through them one by one to see what was needed to pull into our fork.

By the time we did the migration, we made sure that any behavior wouldn't be different where it mattered.

I think GDPR itself is a bit unclear here. Google Search still operates in Europe as far as I know even though it scrapes and indexes people's websites without explicit consent, and I suspect GDPR doesn't intend to make it illegal to do this. Could be wrong...

IANAL but at least in the U.S. I'm pretty sure publicly-available data is generally excluded from whatever protections do exist on PII. I'm not sure what, if anything, has been said about this in the EU.
That 1960s court ruling would be worth reading, to see how it was rationalized, and for discovery of related legal cases. LexisNexis or an LLM might be able to find it.

Look up the book titled "I am not sick I don't need help! How to help someone with mental illness accept treatment" by Xaviar Amador.

In a nutshell, the key is not to insist that your friend recognize that they're paranoid and suffering from delusions. You can't win that battle. Instead, get him to see that he can alleviate some of the immediate problems he's currently encountering (with work, family, doctors, you, etc) by getting an evaluation and medical treatment. In other words, to motivate him to get help, you might have to entertain some of his delusions to a certain degree. You have to play his mental game, until he (hopefully) gets treatment or medication and begins to see things more rationally.

If the two of you are not on speaking terms, find someone that he trusts and is willing to talk to, and get them to try this strategy.

This helped me when I was trying to convince a loved one with severe mental illness to make certain decisions about getting assistance and medical care that they were very resistant to.

Good luck. This is a very difficult and stressful thing to deal with, and as many others have advised, you should consider seeking support for your own mental health as well.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to Lead Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
This is a title grant to keep Musk happy. Musk gets to meme about it while being held to no actual metrics, Trump gets to keep Musk content to chase snipes around the garden.

Musk is being played for a fool and he doesn't see it. He's being treated the same way you treat a 5 year old who needs to be kept busy, lol.
>makes it draw as much as a Raspberry Pi

That's a funny comparison. They don't have power buttons at all. Without mounting, you need to pick it up to be able to remove the power supply.

And the power supply I bought with my Pi 4, at the Cambridge store, doesn't even work.
Yeah, me too. I think I was a teenager then. Good times!

Don't know about present. Back when I worked with a version 2, Raspbian couldn't handle a 2560×1080 UltraWide without low frame rate with stuttering but ArchARM with Sway had no issues.
Hey Elon, I bet you can't lick your elbow.
Will be interesting to see if them declaring bankruptcy ends up being better than the blocked Jetblue deal.
I would add to this trying to find other people who know your friend and can help. Ideally local, but if he has friends who he trusts that he can talk to over phone/video that works too. Get their connect information. It sounds like this is beyond what any one person can handle on their own, but you are in a unique position to connect him with further resources, in general and during acute crises should they happen.

Also know that 988 is now the nationwide suicide hotline number (in the US), and that you can also use this resource for yourself to deal with your friend's situation. Look up nearby crisis centers and save their info.

Lastly, for me 'take care of yourself' means talking about the situation with trusted friends and family. There can be a tenancy to treat kinds of things as taboo, but open discussion and outside perspective can be extremely helpful.
apart from novelty cars... I've never seen a car that small before.
That doesn't make it any less true; you simply need to widen your gaze to include more of history. Multi-family homes was the case for more of history than it wasn't; the nuclear family arose with modernity. Further back, as in millions or hundreds of millions of years, prior, we also lived in tribes.

I see a weather.com class, a parser and a react gui boilerplate boilerplate tsx folder. All three are textbook and trivial areas. We are only missing an ad hoc crud orm here.

In my opinion that is not code, it’s not a business logic. What is presented is (not to offend anyone, I look at code not people) useless github-code carcasses that it contains in abundance. Real code solves problems, this code solves nothing, it just exists. A parser, a ui, an http query - it’s a boilerplate boilerplate boilerplate. You aren’t coding at writing it. It’s “my arduino is blinking leds” level of programming.

I think that’s the difference in our perception. I won’t share my current code purely for technical reasons, but for an overview, it fuzzy-detects elements on virtual displays and plays simple games with dynamic objects on screen, behaving completely human input-wise, all based on a complex statistical schedule. It uses a stack of tech and ideas that llms fails at miserably. Llms are completely useless at anything in there, because there’s basically no boilerplate and no “prior art”. I probably could offload around 15% to an llm, but through the pain of explaining what it’s supposed to assist with.

Maybe it’s me, but I think that most of the jobs that involve trivial things like “show fields with status” or “read/write a string format” are not programming jobs, but an artefact of a stupid industry that created them out of mud-level baseline it allowed to persist. These should have been removed long ago regardless of AI. People just had way too much money (for a while) to paycheck all that nonsense.

Edit: I mean not just removed, but replaced with instruments to free these jobs from existing. AI is an utterly sarcastic answer to this problem, as it automates and creates more of that absurdity rather than less.

I’m contemplating whether this can handle editing 8K video. Does anyone have any idea?

My goal is to venture into 180-degree VR production. With the Canon R5C and the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 Dual Fisheye Lens, I want to produce stereoscopic video at 8K. However, rendering such high-resolution footage demands substantial processing power, and my current setup definitely isn't enough.
Just to address the core of your comment, 20 magnetic disks would combine for about ~2,000 IOPS of capacity, provide for no redundancy, and allow only one machine to process the entirety of the queries coming in to power the application.

Even a full 60 disk server filled with magnetic disks would provide less I/O capacity for running a relational database than a single EBS volume.

It's might not look like a lot of data if you're talking about storing media files, but it's quite a bit of relational data to be queried in single-digit milliseconds at-scale.

It can be done safely with an upgrade method that requires an owned read guard. The RwLock implementation provided by the parking_lot crate supports this safely:

let lock = RwLock::new(Box::new(111));
let read = lock.upgradable_read();
let r: &i32 = &**read; // points to 111
*RwLockUpgradableReadGuard::upgrade(read) = Box::new(222); // error[E0505]: cannot move out of `read` because it is borrowed
println!("{}", *r);

I'm not Korean but my understanding is they do use the Chinese-derived script occasionally, for emphasis or to solve ambiguity, among other things. So some users will need access to that script too.

They aren't buying houses, they're very poor.

The housing crisis is caused primarily by middle class and rich domestic white people. The problem is we're not building affordable housing, the reason being housing is the primary and most effective investment for the middle class. People who already own property have the highest incentive imaginable to NOT build more housing. Affordable housing means your investment depreciates.
I use a version of this preparing for the holidays when I have multiple dishes all trying to finish at approximately the same time.

I use a vertical grid format, top to bottom, with rows bucketed into 10 minute increments. Columns are different cooking implements, so I can ensure I am not over allocating space in the oven/microwave/whatever nor my ability to manipulate the next dish.

Makes it trivial to assess where I am in preparing everything on game day. Also, it gives me a historical artifact for the meal. Which is unexpectedly neat to reference.
> But how does that do anything to explain why PRC politicians (A) using mob-violence against (B) foreign reporters?

The article doesn't imply that PRC Politicians "used" mob violence. Reporters arrived at a crime scene, were questioned by security guards, and were later harried (though hardly assaulted) by a pack of local thugs. Such events happen all the time, in every part of the world.

Though we needn't go there, in any case the answer to your question is: Plain common sense. What's reported in the West will eventually be discoverable from within China, and they simply don't want this event or its circumstances to be reported. Not in China, and not outside it, for straightforward domestic policy reasons. Mass murderers in the West are often lionized and become celebrities or pop culture figures -- see, e.g., Klebold and Harris, Breivik, etc. -- and China evidently wants to nip that sort of thing in the bud. This is not unwise.
Not sure why. Criticizing the republican (especially Trump) government will be hugely profitable - just under 50% of the US population (175M people) is looking for such criticism, and there is no one else to do it. Every day there will be many opportunities to discuss/analyze/criticize/mock/fact-check/challenge.

My objectives here are pretty specific: I'm building open source Python tools for people to run on their own machines, and I want to add "execute untrusted code" features to those tools (mainly for code written by LLMs) such that people can use those features with a clean 'pip install x' of my software on Mac, Linux and hopefully also Windows.

As such you're probably not the right fit for me, I should be looking more at things like wasmer and wasmtime.

As someone who has been on the opposite side of this scenario (diagnosed bipolar) the best thing your friend can do is get professional help. Since he’s refusing that, there’s not much you can do other than taking care of yourself and trying to minimize the damage from his episode. You won’t be able to talk him into it. He has to come to the decision that he wants to get better himself.

There’s a good chance he will get worse before he gets better. He may become a danger to you or himself. If he has never been diagnosed with a mental health issue he may blame you for it as you forced a confrontation with reality when you called the crisis line.

If you really wanna play psych nurse (which you will eventually be forced to if you continue living with him while his condition is untreated/unmanaged)start by declaring your home a drug and alcohol free zone. If he has a taste for them he’ll probably go get them on his own anyway, but increasing the barrier to access decreases the risk of other life altering mistakes. Try to make sure he eats enough and stays hydrated.

My recommendation would be to give him an ultimatum: he gets into some kind of treatment or you go your separate ways. It doesn’t have to be psych care. I found going to a support group incredibly helpful when I was first coming to grips with my disorder. Before I found a specific group for bipolar I went to a couple AA meetings even though I wouldn’t call myself an alcoholic. Being with other people and watching them confront their demons can often make it easier to start facing your own.

You are a good friend and it sucks your friend is going through this. But if you are not a trained mental healthcare professional you are not equipped to handle this.
Just lock the screen and you’re good to go for keyboard cleaning.

Exactly this ^

In particular, under some ideal, unrealistic assumptions to simplify things, and denoting n the number of E-cores, E the efficiency and W_e the power consumption of each e-core, while respectively denoting m the number of each P-cores, P the efficiency and W_p the power consumption of each p-core, where E>P, we can calculate the express EFF of the cpu as

EFF = (n*E*W_e + m*P*W_p)/(n*W_e + m*W_p)
= (n*E*W_e - n*P*W_e + n*P*W_e + m*P*W_p)/(n*W_e + m*W_p)
= (E-P)*n*W_e/(n*W_e + m*W_p) + P
= (E-P)/(1 + (m/n)*(W_p/W_e)) + P

which shows that the energy efficiency of the CPU increases monotonically as a function of the ratio of e to p cores n/m.

VMs usually have their virtual NICs connected to a bridge interface on the host (like a virtual switch) so they can communicate. Proxmox creates one up by default that is also bridged to the physical NIC you set up for management when you install it, so it just works.

In the router case, you'd likely want this default one to be the 'internal' network and have a separate interface (either physical or VLAN) for the WAN.
