Good point. Definitely don't put your head in garbage bags or fill the room or not breath enough. Also it's much safer to use a regulator on the tank instead of just rocketing it out at full pressure through a hose. Balloons are relatively safe and self regulating, since you let go of them when you pass out and they zoom hilariously around the room giving everyone another thing to laugh uproariously about, but totally bumming out the dismayed fool who just lost their whole balloon, which at the moment was their most important possession.

There's another psychoactive gas : Xenon. Apparently it's a truly amazing high. I can only speculate tho because it's also truly expensive. Like $300 a dose.

My niece was born deaf and her parents went the opposite direction: they chose not to have her get an implant because of the risk of surgery at such a young age and being fortunate to live in an area with a sizable deaf community. They took ASL classes (my spouse and I joined them) and she’s now enrolled in a mix of ASL and English interpreted classes.

I agree that people can only make the decision with what they have at the time. After watching her grow up these last several years, her parents think they made the right choice.

Some time ago I considered doing something similar for my parents. They're both fine, but since I live in another country, it could be a creative gift to send them messages on special occasions. I would use an e-ink display attached to an ESP8266 or similar though.

Or unless your emails matter to your customers, with you seeing them as individual names instead of spray and pray marketing.

Deliverability is the single most important thing to reach individuals in the first place, even more critical to maintain the transactional or workflow email relationship.

Anthropic right now has an issue where their "passwordless" emails go to junk for M365 customers (85% of SMBs in U.S.), people literally can't use the service since the email isn't delivered to the inbox.

To your point, in a past gig helping thousands of businesses with turning contacts into not just buyers but fans, I discovered mass marketers don't really care about deliverability at the level of "every single communication must land with every person".

At the same time, I learned customers you want to build a relationship with very much do care. Ever since, when evaluating these, I start there, even before price. How many communications, transactions, or workflows with a future buyer with intent are you willing to fail to connect?

"You had one job" means the primary, not only, dimension. Yes, the primary job of a mailer is for the mail to get there.

I agree there's lots more to look for as well!
Every company has a completely different notion of what each level does.

People like to debate this because they built an ego around working for a title at some megacorp by way of politics. These people are also completely oblivious to how the CTO also promoted their non-technical pal from high school to senior principle staff architect.
> bans political ads on TV / print / etc,

Power is a zero sum game. Banning adverts and paid media strengthens the influence of organic media like journalists, social media and podcasters.

In the US context, that might've strengthened the Trump campaign's position relative to Harris - given the higher follower counts and podcast views.

> grants every candidate equal visibility as specific times and places.

The UK does something like this with free ad segments on linear TV at election times for major parties. However, the effectiveness has decreased with falling TV viewership.
I've used "gdb-dashboard" a lot, would recommend it. It's similar to the TUI (though I haven't used the TUI much), but you can pick and choose to display a large variety of information and the colors make the output much easier to read.

You can also make the dashboard display on another or across multiple terminals, letting you create a much nicer window layout. I've scripted this up with tmux before to have it automatically create the terminal layout and connect them to gdb, you can create really nice layouts that way (though it can be a lot of effort).
This is what I want. I basically never want a starter pack for its intended usage: I'll never just click a button and inherit a ton of follows.

But I'm interested in following the graph of connections. If I like Person A, and they interact with or are seen as similar to Person B - I may want to look at following Person B.
A small thing that might be useful: allow users to get a regular phone number to call. Most users probably won't need it, some will, and when they need it and there's no number, it's extremely frustrating for the (potential or current) customer.

Example: in most cases, I don't have a microphone or headset on my office desktop PC (don't need it, we don't do zooms), have very slow internet access on my smartphone (forget OnAir calling with it, and anyway it would be too much friction to reopen the same web page on it just to call), but have a very well working landline phone nearby.

One possibility you might think about is to get a VoIP number terminated at your server (and possibly a free 1-800-xxxx but those don't necessarily work from abroad), where people can call, enter a code displayed by the OnAir client in the web page (like an extension ID, but it might be random if there's a value in obliging people to come to the web page before calling, e.g. to limit spam calling), and once done they'd be connected as if they were calling through the web page. The limitation with this solution here is that you'd need a number for each country you want to support, as international calls easily get expensive, especially from mobile.
It is more to limit a foreign entity's grasp on controlling the mindset of their citizens. You can compare the feeds of teens in China vs the US on TikTok
If memory serves, the first (at least publicly disclosed) interface was the "Dreamcast Debug Handler", created by a member of Hitmen. This worked by adding a breakout connector to the expansion port terminator (which came with some Asian Dreamcast systems instead of a modem), then connecting that to some homebrew hardware to adapt the bus to a parallel port.

Another alternative that was reasonably-priced for a short while was the Japan-exclusive "LAN Adapter", which was in lower demand because it was only officially supported by the Dreamcast web browser app and was only 10Mbps instead of 10/100.
> I think "addicted computers/the internet/phones" would be a more apt phrasing

I mean yeah, I totally agree with "addicted to computers/the internet/phones" as a problem facing a lot of people and should probably be the proper term instead of "internet native".

No, I wrote this entirely on my own. My process involves drafting the blog myself, and when I feel a section might be too technical or unclear for a wider audience, I use ChatGPT to help clarify or simplify the explanation.

So I've mostly sat out on social media in the past 20 years - I never hopped onto the Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Twitter, anything bandwagons - and I conclude I've been absolutely fine missing the minute-to-minute beat. I certainly have no problem keeping up with the times vs. other friends, nor have I accomplished any less, nor diversified my activities or knowledge any less.

Everything of true, lasting value gets repeated by friends in group chats (my preferred online social fix), or referenced in articles, and reaches me soon enough.

Social media is the text equivalent of mindlessly scrolling TikTok/YouTube Shorts. Can be entertaining (and entertainment is important), but is mostly just a waste of time.
What surprises me is that how, in a social media-driven world starved for original content, that countries whose cybersecurity policy is a chicken wire fence can keep such massive programs secret.
That's troubling to hear. Can you give an example of a journalist he has banned?

Ah, yeah, that might do it. You're probably just getting ~whatever's currently most popular, with no other guidance.

These days, when you sign up, you apparently get asked for interests, and it pre-primes The Algorithm(TM), but yeah, that wasn't a thing during the closed beta.
I thought the same as you and delayed having a second kid as a result. Ended up having two more. The second kid was so much different than the first, slept fine, is way more emotionally regulated, etc. I regret my fear based decision making to delay. The third kid is somewhere between the first two.

Fear based decisions don’t always lead to the best outcomes, though I am in no way dismissing the fear :)

You might want to investigate this further - IIRC a lot of email services retrieve images in advance server side to avoid leaking whether the client has interacted with the email. I might be mistaken here.

In Jetbrains you can also do a Conditional breakpoint to active only if i=100 or something.
Because web.

That said, the VB6 drag-and-drop interface was always flawed. 90% of the time you want to lay out controls in some kind of nest of layouts with clearly-defined resize and reflow behavior instead of "drag and drop wherever and YOLO if something changes size". A good GUI framework would nudge you towards that instead of free-form drag-and-drop wherever.
Ah, this is the normal behaviour of a SIM card. You can disable this PIN at startup (a setting in the phone). This is not recommendable, though, because if your phone gets lost or stolen your SIM may be used in a "layer" (a device that will make premium calls or SMS, the name is derived from a hen (that lays eggs)).

The solution is to use an eSIM - you can disable the PIN at bootup because it is protected by the phone lock anyway and will be operational immediately.
That is a really cool reference!

I would say that Go is extremely explicit, but I wouldn’t say it’s verbose.

Or, I suppose you could say that Go is semantically verbose (explicit error handling, no/low use of generics, no operator overloading), but syntactically concise (short variable names). Swift is the opposite, being semantically concise (extremely heavy use of generics, default arguments) but syntactically verbose (labeled arguments, English-like clauses, result builders).

Show HN: Hacker News Summarizer with Gemini Nano
Hi All!

For Google Chrome Built-in AI Challenge (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/ai-challenge), I tried to create a simple hacker news post summarizer. It essentially sends the bulk of a top comment and its child comments to the local summarizer to get a summary.

The idea was to see how local models work and the kind of latency they offer. The extension in it's current form is fairly rudimentary and works only for hacker news. Plus the latency to fetch the summary is noticeable.

I understand, a general-purpose summarizer would kill the need for such a thing, but I built it for getting familiarized with chrome extensions as well as Gemini Nano APIs.

I’m curious to know if there is any value in such an extension and of course any other thoughts / comments / feedback.

When growing up (in the 1970s-1980s) i went to a school with timings of 11:30AM to 4:30PM. You had 7 periods of 40 mins each with a break of 20/30mins after the first 4 periods.

It was fantastic.

We slept well, woke up around 7-8AM well refreshed and energetic, and would have something very light (eg. multigrain congee) to drink. Mom would finish cooking by 8AM and Dad would have a good brunch and leave for work with a light lunch in hand. We would have a good brunch by 10/10:30AM and leave for school with a light lunch in hand. Never felt drowsy/sleepy/tired in school. Return home from school around 5PM, have something light to eat and go out to play with friends until it got dark around 6/6:30PM. Get back home, wash up and do homework until 8/8:30PM (whatever couldn't be finished we did the next day morning). Have dinner, do some more homework (we didn't have TV at that time) and hit the bed around 9:30PM.

IMO, this should be the ideal "work" schedule and i have often thought of adopting it again as my everyday time schedule.

The escape quickly argument is a good one to challenge. You'd be better off with a full tank of gas, and it's the same with EV, charge to 100%. All good, but I can pump my car to 100% in 5 minutes (plus 10 minutes drive to a gas station and back) and I simply can't do it with an EV. Either you're slow charging at home for hours, or driving 10-20 minutes to the DC charger to spend even more minutes charging...
I think that just based on the properties of the network/graph, it's unlikely that enough important accounts will leave, and therefore people who are interested in them can't leave. Anyone who's built a good audience is unlikely to want the platform to die, that's a big risk to them. Some people are just famous in general, and they might have an easier time migrating to new platforms and have people following them, but still, why give up all your followers?

You see people like Yann LeCun announcing his leaving. Then he comes back and posts "teasers" of his Threads posts, and he's retweeting posts showing that he's still active. And this guy works for a competing social network!

Maybe this time is different, the left's hate for Musk runs deep now, but my bet is X will be fine in the end.
And afaik the emissions were still miles ahead of a car from 20 years prior, just not quite as extremely stringent as requested.

As an anecdote, an online comment responding to someone asking if their choice of server matters (e.g. if their Mastodon account would be visible to someone using another server) was roughly "no, as long as your servers federate with each other."

I would be able to parse that, but it seems rather out-of-touch for trying to attract the bulk of Twitter users. Meanwhile, Bluesky offers a de facto server with some (lesser?) amount of decentralization that's largely invisible to end users.

Dang! I was about to share this service with my CS and Sales colleagues, but stopped myself when I realized they won’t touch it unless it can be integrated with services like Gong and Salesforce, for call tracking, transcriptions, trainings and archives. I know you have some of these native, but getting a group of people to move to a new app yet again is harder to do than bringing your service to their existing environment.

If theres a way around that, and at min. Leveraging gong for the recording and transcription, do let us know. Nice service! I’ll personally use it in places like email and linked in to try it out.
Thanks for clarifying it!

I checked some of your videos, and I couldn't quite grasp how much of (capital) DDflow do you borrow.

In what way is this easier than click to dial? They’re both one click, but in this scenario I need a headset/microphone, a stable Internet connection, and if I do this from my smart phone it doesn’t know I’m in a call so when I hold the phone up to my face I will likely hit

[Sorry for answering so late.]

Some people have been given greater challenges than others. Any difficulty given by the universe itself only counts positively for us, but we have to use it properly; i.e. we can't let it give us an excuse to be an ahole.

On the other end of the spectrum, most people feel that being born into wealth would be a great blessing, but look how those fools behave, wasting their blessings on themselves for meaningless pleasures that deplete the Earth, being callous in their treatment of those less fortunate, and generally working with their fellows to keep themselves on the top of the heap.

Being striken with disease is an effective way to go within oneself and connect with the Source of all creation, which is an essential part of the intent of the creation of our human nature. One way to look at the Unfathomable Creator is as the Ultimate Loner. It is a blessing to have been created as a human being, for only we can connect with It, and receive the blessing of reaching out for It.

That is the Ultimate Design of the human race, with our absolutely free will, but within a universe that rewards the seeker who connects with the sublime majesty of the Creator of all that will ever be. The Greatest Command is to, first, "Love God with all your being". That is not because we can add anything to It, nor because It is needy in any way. No. It is because the universe is designed to reward those of us who use our free will and energy to radiate love into the universe; it radiates that love back from within ourselves in happiness, clarity, and purpose.

Another way to look at the underprivileged (in money or health) is that they are rewarded for being where a person of means can prove their humanity, and thus giving them the chance to learn how happiness is gained from selflessly sharing, not from selfishly keeping.

Zapier is/was (I’ve not been there for a bit over a year) more or less async first. We still had meetings, but they weren’t supposed to be the default.

Basically for status updates, you’d just put it in Slack. We had a bot that prompted us. We did have a weekly meeting, but it was at a reasonable time for everyone.

A team I was on while there had some APAC people, and we even managed to have meetings with them, by scheduling them in afternoon hours for the U.S. Worked out pretty well.

I'm not in his camp, but trying to play Devil's Advocate for your benefit:

Are you sure that your arguments are more solid than his?

E.g., are you and he both relying on outside source of information, which neither of you have the time / resources / motivation to verify?

And if so, are you and he just assigning different levels of trust in a given source?

When I've been in situations slightly similar to yours, I was disheartened to realize that my own justifications weren't as solid as I originally thought.

That is, I was still pretty well convinced of my own position, but I realized that the main reason for it was a judgment call and intuition, rather than an unassailable argument.
Probably because that's what people engage with the most and is thus shown to users who just start off on the platform, as I mentioned. Note that while Bluesky is open source, its feed algorithm actually is not open source, so it can be just as bad as Twitter.

The V language also looked ideal for this as it has a built-in GUI but upon investigation I found its internals are... not really fleshed-out or thought-out well, and its main maintainer likes to delete and ban any criticisms regardless of validity on its official forums, so that was out, maybe revisit it in a few years
