Pointing the finger at regulation is misleading IMO. The regulations for bringing a drug to market are essentially quite simple: prove that it’s better than what currently exists.

What makes it difficult is the word “prove”

It turns out it’s obscenely hard to make a drug that’s good, and even harder to prove that it’s good.
It's not bike weight per se, but there's also a somewhat direct link between weight and component quality and age. I.e. no one really tests a 20y old bike with current top-end components, no one really puts 10y old groupsets on a 2024 frame.

Yes, rider weight trumps it, but modern bikes in general just ride nicer and most of us who are not pros only test a dozen different bikes at most. It's a hobby, people like to splurge.
This is pretty steep... their website still seems to list the old included traffic and price (though okay, I guess they still have 3 days to update). Is there a more official link, or was it distributed through email?
These substances are also used to intentionally make your skin more photosensitive (There are some skin therapies where treatment is applied through UV-light).

Theoretically you can use them to quicken any tanning, but I guess dermatologists are happy that this isn't too widely known.
That is quite clever! Thanks
Not true, there are edge cases. Some billionaires have lived very frugal lives - such as the founder of dollar stores. There was also a multi billionaire who lived middle class and gave away his whole fortune towards end of life
Australia: Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes laws
Both approaches are not incompatible. It's probably more efficient to build a high level map of the subject using podcasts/YouTube videos than reading a dense book. Once you have that high level map, you have the tools to choose the dense book that is more appropriate for what you are looking for. That way the number of dense books that you have to read is reduced compared to a world without YouTube/podcasts, and the end result is the same.

Of course, if you stop just after the podcasts/YouTube, you end up with a biased map of a subject which ends up probably not being very useful if you want to apply that knowledge successfully.

Most schools will only ask for the first part, so that is enough for the kids. But I mean, they were already doing similar things beforehand to avoid having to study dense books...

Has AI scaling hit a limit?
I think you missed the point. It doesn't matter if people used paper or anything. They can do whatever they want, as long as their they can commit code to the source control with high quality.
It has definitely crossed my mind. Main reason I haven't looked into it is Picotron's (so far) lack of ability to export native binaries.
If one wants to do that kind of thing it might be better to fill the CFRP with something else-- stiff foam, balsa etc.

The cool thing that's gone now was the "Audio Features" endpoint ( https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/referenc... ). You could easily get some important values about every song, now you would probably have to run your own analysis for every song you're interested in. That's a lot harder and slower if you don't want to preprocess every single song available.
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about animating so I am not much help here. That said I didn't know anything about 3d modelling when I made picoCAD so maybe there will be another tool in the future :D

It comes across almost trite, but it's still perfectly relevant:

> Canada [and The West], the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake. Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.

This isn't rare or hidden knowledge. Billions of people know this for a fact. Versions of this phrase go back well over a hundred years.

Yet the media and political classes do everything they can to diminish such "sentiment" as "naive" and "childish" "wishful thinking"; with or without the tacit understanding that this is what their owners demand.
Suicide is evil. Bar none.
The point these focus-deprived children could accurately make is that our adult world is also about reward hacking and bullshit metrics. I’m old but I will tell you that everything I dislike that I see in the young is society’s fault. We did a truly terrible job of giving them a world in which to become better, rather than worse, people.

In 1400, actually reading books deeply was for autistic weirdos who were usually sent to monasteries. In 1950, you could actually mention reading literary fiction on a job interview and it would help, rather than hurt, you. In 2024, actually reading books deeply is for autistic weirdos again and “well-adjusted” people realize that their ability to afford food and housing relies on the use of information to form a collage beneficial to one’s personal image—not deep understanding of high-quality information, and certainly not the high-risk generation of anything new.

Spotify is from Sweden, not Switzerland.

And they didn't start with illegal MP3s. They did have an ad-supported free tier from the start though. But it was not illegal. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotify

A Regnery citation is to be believed? I’m a Regnery and that side of family is alt-right lol. Now under Eagle, but the name alone makes me think Zinn was right.
Yeah, the justification given makes absolutely no sense - you are paying more than before even if you stay under the new limit (which is 1/20th of the original!)

They also use the word "tariff" several times without elaborating, as if the person who wrote the email doesn't know the actual meaning of the word.

Seems like intentional deception to hide a standard "we just want more money" price raise.
Can LLMs analyze song features (danceability, instrumentalness, speechiness, tempo)?
You know, my first gut reaction was "but whyyyy?"

But 10 second later I remembered that the internet is full of news with embedded deleted tweets, showing only an error. Maybe embedding social media posts as image should be the norm (despite the obvious pic vs text drawbacks)...

It parses fine to me, but then I'm a native English speaker (and I don't claim to know whether its content is actually true). Strictly speaking, there should be a comma after "case", which may have helped you but is unusual unless you're writing something really formal.

Here's the sentence restructured:

Weight isn't that important for bike racing unless you're specifically doing hill climbs. Aerodynamics will make more of a difference, so there might be some advantage in having a bit of belly fat to enable a smooth airflow.

Also, heavier riders are generally faster downhill as they have a greater terminal velocity.
> bulb lifetime is a trade off between lumens, filament life, and energy consumption

At a specific temperature, using specific materials.

There is no reason to suspect that material science would not advance. Or other constraints would change. A specific company choosing that particular sweetspot for a particular product line is fine. But a collusion between companies dictating that specific constraint (in lieu of, e.g., wattage per lumen) is too clear a marker of anti-consumer intent.
Disclosure: I worked on developing smartboard technology for students in my country.

Unfortunately research doesn't agree with you on this part: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/the-edtech-revolution-has-faile...

On top of that research, my personal experience mirrors these findings. Not having hands-on labs, not reading/writing but just listening prevents things from being committed to longer term memory. How many podcasts they remember? How many interesting things they have watched made a change in their lives?

There's also mounting research that writing is different than typing, and using a real pen and paper changes how brain fundamentally works.

I also experience this daily. I take notes and make lists on notebooks all day, and it allows me to concentrate and build a better picture of my day ahead. My longer term plans are stored in "personal project planning" software, but it failed to replace paper for the last 4-5 years consistently. So, now they work in tandem. Not against each other.

From my personal experience, designing code on paper results in compacter, more performant and less buggy code in my endeavors. Writing/designing on the spot doesn't scale much longer term, and always increases the "tidying rounds" in my software.

We still romanticize SciFi movies and technological acceleration via external devices. Nature has different priorities and doesn't work as we assume. We're going to learn this the hard way.

If you can't internalize some basic and advanced knowledge, your daily and work life will be much harder, period. Humans increase their cognitive and intellectual depth by building on top of this persistent building blocks by experience. When you externalize these essential building blocks, building on top of them becomes almost impossible.

The only thing I found which works brilliantly is eBook readers. Being able to carry a library in a distraction-free device with a screen tailored for long reading sessions is a superpower. Yes, it kills the sense of "progress" due to being constant thickness and lacking pages, but it works, and beats carrying a 2000+ page tome in every aspect.
Hard to do that without making at a 'list of books that will induce a mindfuck and their spoilers'
There’s no such thing as multitasking. It is a literal illusion and is one big reason why people who can’t sit down and actually read a book (or lie down with eyes closed and LISTEN to a podcast/lecture) produce for themselves the illusion of understanding.
Just a reminder that anonymization is much harder than merely removing metadata:

Every time I hear "anonymous data", I think of that time AOL published anonymized search logs (for academic research). The anonymization was negligent, and an NYT reporter de-anonymized and tracked down one of the users with the local & personal info present in the search queries.

Did anyone try to just blend pixels together as if they were round circles slightly bigger (or smaller) than a pixel box? I suspect that’s what CRTs actually did, because no point on CRT was a square (you can’t get a square electron beam).

Feels like these scaling methods solve a wrong problem, cause I’ve never seen one that would look even remotely like CRT.

What subj method does is basically adding scanline gaps to the blur, but only to the point of vertical isolation. Maybe the answer is to do something like this, assuming 8x8 grid and 0-9 intensity:

2|33333333|2
+————————+
4|66666666|4
7|88888888|7
6|99999999|6
6|99999999|6
…
(mirrored at the bottom)

Plus some regular 1/0.5-pixel y-offsets for channels. Because that’s how electron scan should look like over the series of small

R G/B\R G/…
B/R G\B/…

triplets.

Sizing this “circle” would simulate the “focus” parameter of a CRT, which wasn’t available to a user.

That doesn't seem to be borne out by bike prices - it's entirely possible to buy a very usable carbon fibre bike for approx £1000 but I can't recall seeing a magnesium framed bike for £100.

Edit: looking at cheap frames on AliExpress, you're not too far off. I saw a magnesium alloy frame for approx £80 and a carbon fibre frame for £350. Not quite an order of magnitude though.

What if, for some reason, the webcam's LED failed (e.g., it physically stopped working)? In case of a malware attack, you might not even realize that your webcam is being used even if the malware can't have access to control the LED. In my opinion, the most effective way to protect yourself against webcam hacking is to physically cover the camera with a sticker or cover when it’s not in use. Simply put, I believe physical safeguards are more reliable than software-based solutions whenever possible.

* It is illegal for a platform to provide children with a social media account, not for the child to create an account. Circumvention of this by the child is not illegal.

* No grandfathering - all accounts under 16 once this takes effect (which won't be until this time next year at earliest) must be deactivated.

* Maximum fine (per instance?) is 50 million AUD (about 32 million USD)

* The legislation is vague on the technical details, although it does specifically mandate that platforms cannot use government-issued ID of any kind (including digital ID).

This "the West and Christianity" thing may reinforce dichotomies that we do not need (East vs West), while glossing over essential distinctions (Christianity vs its Abrahamic roots).

Yes, much is good about Christianity, and yes, it caught on in the West -- but it originated in the Near East, and Ethiopians and Keralites had it first (and still do). Moreover, prior to the Islamic conquests, it was widespread in the countries that we now think of as Muslim. So, while it is central to the culture of Europe, it is also a bit of an adopted alien -- and it is not unique to Europe.

Second, many Protestant readings of Christianity embrace the Old Testament, while underemphasizing the break from Old Testament practices and thought that it represented. You would think that Protestant culture would be more immune to this, because it emphasizes literacy and directly reading the book. But somehow that has led to an uncritical understanding of the Old Testament, instead of to a more Gnostic repudiation. Paul is best in this regard.

Because it is precisely Christianity's reformist elements that made it good. Its universalism. Its New Covenant.

Anyway.

I do appreciate your CK Chesterton references. Some of those are also among my favorites. I very much enjoyed The Man Who was Thursday, one of his works of fiction, a sort of novel -- which, I will only say, subverts expectations, and turns out to be more than a bit philosophical!
> all produced information is unavoidably narrativization

This is a future possibility but it has not yet come to pass, and we can still avoid it. We are not yet adrift in a sea of epistemological relativism where everyone has their own truth, and no objective truth can be discerned. We don't need to succumb to this kind of nihilism. Truth and objective reality are still discernable and approachable. Philosophical objections to the Truly objective viewpoint are not the limiting factor.

"Everything is just a narrative" is the cry of those who don't have truth on their side. The current state of mass media is the result of their cries becoming louder. We don't have to go along with it.

You may be disqualified from receiving unemployment if you quit.

If you really believe they are there for a fake job, why would they suddenly "grow a conscious and leave" and risk unemployment benefits.

David Graeber talked about 'Bullshit Jobs' over a decade ago, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs and proposed strong unions and universal basic income as a potential solution - the latter makes it easier to quit a fake job.

Do people know they have a fake job? Is it actually a fake job? On HN you'll see a lot of people say they have a bullshit job, while others say it isn't bullshit work, it just feels like that to the employee, and still other say they don't have a bullshit job but it might look that to others.

A Code Centric Journey into the Gleam Language [video]
Often that’s image. Warren Buffett enjoys his wealth. He’s just smart enough to know what happens to people who are seen enjoying their wealth, which is that they are despised. Plenty of rich people have one way of living when they are “in the community” and another at of living when they are around each other.

I will concede that you are technically correct, but living a normal life despite having billions is like moving to another country in middle age, not knowing anybody, and not even being able to talk about the place where you’re from. It’s a lot like witness protection, because the moment you tell people about your life before, everything will be different and worse. You can decide to dump all your rich friends to be a schoolteacher in Vermont, but you’re basically changing countries, which is something people rarely do if they have a choice.

The percentage of people who have the courage to leave their reference frame, especially when that reference frame is upper-tier wealth, is just very low.
