The one I like to take at night is Life Extension 300mcg (.3mg) 6 hour timed release (they make a bunch of different ones), which is the closest to natural melatonin release of any supplemental melatonin I've seen, although it sounds like there is massive variation between people in how much makes it to the blood from a given dose. There are a couple of ways to use melatonin and for circadian use a small non-delayed dose earlier may be better (or use both):

https://circadiansleepdisorders.org/treatments.php#melatonin

I have had issues waking up more frequently when taking melatonin. It sounds like while not common this side effect is not that rare either. Based on my severe sleep issues (primarly circadian) I suspect that one part of "sleep issues" for many people is actualy waking up issues and that the detailed process around waking up has a bigger influence than is currently appreciated. I suspect one reason that melatonin is helpful is that it sets the stage for a better wake up, however if something causes this wake up procedure to start after not enough sleep it can be more difficult to get back to sleep. The delayed release seems to help quite a bit to limit the chance of this happening for me, although it does still happen at times. I'm not sure if melatonin is a particularly good option for staying asleep.

Unfortunately, there aren't particulary good options. Magnesium is the easiest and as effective as anything for me but unfortunately a high enough dose to be effective will also make me tired the next day. However, if your diet is low on magnesium then just increasing that some might help or possibly you won't have the issue with tiredness the next day. baclofen helps me but has issues and I certainly would not recommend it for your case.

A short (few minutes) nap mid day helps the circadian rhythm but longer naps can make it harder to stay asleep at night. If you nap for longer periods, multiple times, or later in the day that is the first thing I would suggest changing. I'm not sure what length causes more trouble but I think getting to sleep but staying asleep as briefly as you easily can is the ideal (though if you will naturally wake up after a bit longer that might be better than an alarm).

I also noticed covid made my already bad sleep worse when I had it (most likely covid, not confirmed by test; cold or flu usually give me better sleep for a day or two). However, I didn't notice any lasting issues (I still have severe sleep issues but it was just that first week of covid that they seemed to be different from usual). I wonder if it could be just your memory of how you sleep that changed after you noticed it due to the disruption. As long as you can easily get back to sleep and aren't staying awake for long it should not cause trouble and is not uncommon. If you feel rested there is nothing to fix while worrying about it or trying to change it could case worse trouble.

These are my thoughts anyway, hopefully something in there is helpful :).
I’m aware, that bill is going to expire in 30 days so its irrelevant and will have to be reintroduced next year.

the President-Elect is interested too and campaigned on the same premise

what I’m talking about is far more expansive than 1 country’s national government instructing 1 agency to do it

In talking about several agencies across every sovereign and subdivision thereof. all municipalities doing the same. the sovereign credit market being leveraged to buy bitcoin continuously, just like we’re seeing the beginning of in the corporate credit market.

in case anyone wants to think about where this is really going and what that means for bitcoin’s scarcity
Ah, so you want to use TinyGo. Makes smaller binaries:

I'm not sure I understand that completely either.

One proposal to buy bitcoin would use money from a revaluation of the country's gold reserves:

Not saying they should have due process but there flip side is they will take 20 years to get through the queue while more pop up. Not sure how they have have it both ways.
they have open source code.
That would require foresight, investment, subsidies, and good policy.

(looks at election results)

Ok, tariffs. I guess tariffs are the new invisible hand.

And really, what we're talking here isn't domestic manufacturing. It's probably Mexican manufacturing.
Not necessarily. Let's say this optimization can save 0.1w in certain situations. If one of those situations is common when the chip is idle just keeping wifi alive, well hey that's 0.1w in a ~1w total draw scenario, that's 10% that's huge!

But when the CPU is pulling 100w under load? Well now we're talking an amount so small it's irrelevant. Maybe with a well calibrated scope you could figure out if it was on or not.

Since this is in the micro-op queue in the front end, it's going to be more about that very low total power draw side of things where this comes into play. So this would have been something they were doing to see if it helped for the laptop skus, not for the desktop ones.
Yes, that’s what I gathered from the code. But I was proposing it as an “easy” solution that doesn’t involve throwing away OP’s main idea.
interesting. For me it gave me accurate links that were tucked around third page on google search but were actually relevant links while google's 1st and 2nd page were filled with seo spam.
Gold has a direct usage in electronics and hi-tech in general.
Your position is that "selling unlicensed equipment" is a liability risk for Deye but... deliberately disabling equipment you don't even own is not?!

All they need to do is the same thing any manufacturer whose stuff ends up on a gray market does: "We're very sorry and we don't know how this happened. We'll work with regulators to better audit our export shipments in the future." This kind of thing happens all the time.
Maybe because "My new car" does not imply that the car itself has never been used?

Just that it's YOUR new car.
"Superstition" results from any number of things.

A) insufficient docs
B) programmer can't be bothered to read the docs
C) programmer doesn't trust the docs
D) programmer had a bug once, blames the underlying library, not his code
E) programmer had a bug, changes code, bug goes away, jumps to conclusion.

Trust in the docs is a big thing. If the docs are wrong a lot the the programmer is skeptical even when they're right.

But I've also noticed that most developers simply don't read them. "I'm too busy (fixing bugs) to read the docs." Or "my backlog is so long I don't have time to learn how to do it right, I just want it done fast "

Superstition occurs with the absence of knowledge - the existence of docs is necessary, but not sufficient, in overcoming that absence.

IIRC name constraints is very poorly supported by client software, so there are likely lots of clients out there that wouldn't even parse that restriction out of the cert, and happy accept anything singed by the CA.

Tooling, sorry, was on my phone.
Now you’re asking me technical details from more than a decade ago. My recollection is that you could map one of the caches between cores — there were uncached-write-through instructions. By reverse engineering the cache’s hash, you could write to a specific cache-line; the uc-write would push it up into the correct line and the “other core” could snoop that line from its side with a lazy read-and-clear. The whole thing was janky-AF, but way the hell faster than sending a message around the ring. (My recollection was that the three interlocking rings could make the longest-range message take hundreds of cycles.)
Wow. I've never seen anyone make a sky-is-falling argument about Javascript to this level before. Bravo? /s? Either way it's an impressive reach.
Sure. Very few elements can be man made in interesting quantites. Matter itself holds an inordinate amount of energy through E=MC2. There is no alchemy that can produce dog poo from hydrogen, for example.

There is also no way to break Dogecoin or other canine related coins.

Therefore dog poo and japanese dog shitcoins fall under the same category as your argument, whatever it is you are arguing.
> The point is he doesn't have to understand details of the code to see bug reports and code churn and bug fix commits and have a reasonable idea of whether it's stable enough for end users. I would trust him to make that call more than a "filesystem guy", in fact.

No, that's not enough, and I would not call that kind of slagging good communication to users.

Seeing bugfixes go by doesn't tell you that much, and it definitely doesn't tell you which filesystem to recommend to users because other filesystems simply may not be fixing critical bugs.

Based on (a great many) user reports that I've seen, I actually have every reason to believe that your data is much safer on bcachefs than btrfs. I'm not shouting about that while I still have hardening to do, and my goal isn't just to beat btrfs, it's to beat ext4 and xfs as well: but given what I see I have to view Linus's communications as irresponsible.

> Absolutely not on the top nodes. Testing has to be distributed and pushed down to end nodes where development happens or even below otherwise it does not scale.

No, our testing situation is crap, and we need leadership that says more than "not my problem".

> Dave Chinner for example would insist the file-of-zeroes problem of XFS is really not a problem. Not because he was flat wrong or consciously being biased for XFS I'm sure, but because according to the filesystem design and the system call interface and the big customers they talked to at SGI, it was operating completely as per specification.

Well, he had a point, and you don't want to be artificially injecting fsyncs because for applications that don't need them that gets really expensive. Fsync is really expensive, and it impacts the whole system.

Now, it turned out there is a clever and more practical solution to this (which I stole from ext4), but you simply cannot expect any one person to know the perfect solution to every problem.

By way of example, I was in an argument with Linus a month or so ago where he was talking about filesystems that "don't need fsck" (which is blatently impossible), and making "2GB should be enough for anyone" arguments. No one is right all the time, no one has all the answers - but if you go into a conversation assuming the domain experts aren't actually the experts, that's not a recipe for a productive conversation.

Against all odds, they somehow learned from their dozen failed attempts at the space, and succeeded the 13th time.
Nifty. Have you considered trying to make the server be able to run as something like a Cloudflare worker?
A few questions:

1) How do you know the new place can’t match the counter offer?

2) why do you think the folks who hired you for less than your current salary would not understand sticking at your current job for 25% more and a role change?

3) if you took the raise/counter and it wasn’t fulfilling would you be willing to take a job paying 30% less 1 year from now? Why or why not?

4) why did you want to work at the other company you just signed and offer letter for?

We’ve lost candidates after their current employer drastically increased their salary. It happens, normally before an offer letter is signed.

I mean it’s possible we don’t see it. Or perhaps don’t see it very much before it’s ridiculously smart. A lot of AI research is at private companies who only share some details when they formally release a model. If they could make an AI researcher AI, they may be inclined to keep it to themselves for a bit while they let it improve itself for a few generations.
> I never understood how some parts of US just allow that.

Most jurisdictions have 'shopkeeper's privilege' and stopping a shoplifter is 100% OK. I think most large businesses don't expect or even allow hourly employees to assume the risk of stopping shoplifters because, to insurers, that math doesn't math. If an employee is required to chase and restrain a shoplifter, there's a good chance they'll get injured, become exposed to the money incinerator that is the US health care system, etc. Maybe the supposed shoplifter didn't actually steal anything, but the employee thought they did and injured them while restraining them. So you could have an injured employee and an innocent injured shopper. Now you're paying multiple six figures for health care claims over a $20 steak that wasn't stolen.
Lol, houston is not even in the top 35 on that list. It's not even the biggest city in that list. Chicago has it beat. And my home town continues to represent as #1.
So, I read that when it popped up on HN a while ago. As someone who know approximately nothing about El Salvador I found it quite informative. Then I checked out an article on the sidebar about a country where I have lots of first hand knowledge, and found a fair bit of inaccuracies, and worse, omissions due to ideological slant. As always, lying by omission is powerful and you’re not even technically lying. Now, I’m not accusing the author of intentionally lying, but our opinions on things are all shaped by biased sources and the author themself is no different, and the point is to not so readily have your opinions shaped by some “wonderful” article online, especially when you know nothing about the topic otherwise.
> But thanks to lobbying by Disney, now you’re never allowed to create a derivative work of the art in your life

As far as I can tell the only copyright term extension that might have been influenced by Disney lobbying in the US is the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, which extended the term from life+50 to life+70 (or from 75 to 95 years for works of corporate authorship).

The switch from fixed terms to life plus+50 came with the Copyright Act of 1976 which had nothing to do with Disney. They were probably for it, but so was nearly everybody because it laid the groundwork for the US joining the Berne Convention and making its copyright system much more compatible with that of most other countries.

As far as copyright law outside the US goes, most countries were on life+50 or longer before Disney even existed.
Oh interesting, thanks for linking this, neat.
So an incompetent CA is trusted by an even more incompetent company, Microsoft?

Is anybody else surprised at this point?
It’s clearly not an ideal situation. It might well be the start of something very dark. But also it’s worth examining how unserious some of Amnesty’s quoted claims are:

> lack of precise information from authorities to detainees’ families regarding their whereabouts,

Because the gangs will bust them out

> and concealment of the identity of the judges processing detainees.

Because the gangs will kill the judges
Confidential sources are necessary for lots of whistleblower based reporting.

Fairness of media representation seems hard to define and prone to abuse.

But mandating the the financial conflicts be disclosed and ads labeled seems reasonable.
Sure, but if these "direct uses" were the only reason people ever bought gold, it would cost orders of magnitude less.
You can become functionally capable in any mainstream programming language with some working examples, newbie hello world tutorials, maybe a debugger, and/or stack overflow. You are unlikely to get past an intermediate level of skill, and you won’t understand the deeper patterns that motivated the language designers, but you can add features and write useful applications.

"Basically every criminal in the country" without regard for charging them with any particular crime. Guilt by popular reputation, guilt by association, guilt by tattoo, guilt by suspicion or dislike. Indefinite sentence. No trial. Prison conditions as proudly abusive & humiliating as diplomatically feasible.

This is martial law, an internal military occupation with dictatorial control. An act of desperation welcomed only because El Salvador was previously, for decades, a bit of a failed state undergoing something tantamount to a low-grade civil war.

Martial law in the developing world doesn't have a history of going very well for very long. It's a brittle situation.
Microsoft is many things but not incompetent.

I think the gp would argue that they can, and in fact one of their selling points is that they can help avoid the erratic swings between corrupt autocratic rule and an impotent variety of populism.

They’re just harder to build and maintain: “get a better strong guy to strongarm the last strong guy who went rotten” makes more instinctive sense than “swallow the bitter medicine of compromise and spread power around.”

You say that like it's hard for an oversleeper to achieve their oversleeping. As an oversleepr, I'll suggest that it's the other way around. When you're an oversleeper, the thing that's hard is to stop sleeping after the socially normal amount of time.
1.7% is terrifying police state territory. I don't see El Salvadore coming back from this without a complete governmental overhaul.
I had always thought that the parts where reality was working according to Tlon rules was evidence that the author was being co-opted. Occasionally this happens in real life when political powers get involved in picking and choosing the outcomes of intellectual disputes - everyone's answers come out to corroborate a fiction, and the real guiding hand is never referred to.

The most widely known example is Lysenkoism. No supporter of that theory ever said they were fabricating data to please the apparatus. An example closer to the one in the story was academic support of Nazi "anthropology."

I’m not talking about a name constraint — that would need to be part of the root certificate. I’m suggesting that MS add a feature to its root store to constrain the usage of the certificates in the store. IIRC Google’s root store has features like this.
I think it's unfortunate given the audience I imagine will make up most of its purchases. For example, the NBN in Australia just announced earlier this year it's first 2 Gbps residential plans (previously 1 Gbps being the maximum) planned for availability some time next year[1].

Not going to be mild here, Google Maps is the absolute poster child of enshittification. Sorry if you've worked on it, it's even more enshittified than search, and the best example of the company being run by the Ads division.

This overview 8 years old but it's only gotten worse [1]. Everything in the UI has been optimized purely for businesses and ads, not for users. I'm blessed enough to now live in one of the few countries where Google Maps is not dominant, where local players are more popular.

I've gone and taken current screenshots of both to show the difference. Current Google Maps [2]. Note how you can't even hide those UI elements blocking the map, but more important is the map itself. Current locally popular maps app [3]. It.. actually works well as a map, like Google Maps used to before Ads took over the business. And just a single touch on the map to hide the UI.

I'm sure the Supernova Hotel and Hostel Ani & Haakien are bringing Google some great cash money though, splendid user feature!

Before I lived here, I of course used Google Maps. And when I go abroad, I have to use it. And every single second spent with it is a stark reminder of how much worse it is than the map apps that are most popular here and are not enshittified.

Fucking Tired of AI
Title. I really wish we could turn back time to 2022 when ChatGPT and GitHub copilot were being dropped and stopped the bomb then. Everywhere I go online now is populated by a mass infestation of AI trash of variying degree; can we or will we ever get back our fun tech discussion online without bullshit ads or bots or any of this novo-dystopian nonsense? I am specially worried about new programers and internet users being bombarded with tons of AI-written books, pornography, music, video, audio, images. And if you think it isn't bad, try googling any historical figure and you'll find some bullshit AI generated image of them likely before the actual one.

What do we do? Do we just create new social media platforms and blogs (IRC again?) that are so heavily filtered / censored such that no AI content is ever tolerated? Do we do the Sam Altman thing and try scanning a billion eyeballs as 'proof of human'?

I used to be an AI optimist but this is just ridiculous. How do you all cope?
> How the hell would you verify an AI-generated silicon design?

I'm not familiar with Scrypted unfortunately. But thanks for the pointer. I'll have to study it to understand its security and privacy implications. I skimmed the docs very quickly but couldn't find info on their use of encryption.

About HomeKit: yes, HomeKit uses iCloud end-to-end encryption (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651) and is certainly superior to those systems that don't use encryption at all or just use encryption between the device and their servers. But Privastead has two advantages:

1) Privastead uses MLS for end-to-end encryption, which provides forward secrecy and post-compromise security. iCloud's end-to-end encryption does not. So what does that mean? This is from the link I included earlier:

"If you lose access to your account, only you can recover this data, using your device passcode or password, recovery contact, or recovery key."

If an attacker manages to access your password, recovery key, etc., they'll be able to decrypt all your videos (assuming they have recorded all your encrypted videos). Such an attack is not possible in MLS. Similar to the Signal protocol, MLS uses double ratchet and there is not a single password, recovery code, key, etc. that can decrypt everything.

2) The HomeKit framework and iCloud end-to-end encryption are not fully open source as far as I know. Therefore, we simply have to trust what Apple says about their security and privacy implications. That might be okay for some users, but not others. Privastead is and intends to remain fully open source. IMO, being open source is a critical component of any security/privacy solution that would like to gain users' trust.
