That's a really nice phrase - thank you.

Hmm, searches for `"heritable metabolizing"` have like no hits, *bolism only a few.
Doesn't it have the highest murder rate in the world, still? I wouldn't dare to try.
A Person Does Not Exist
didn't give it much thought but couldn't you eventually run schools and universities on a percentage of student income tax (and remove all other sources) combined with a periodic questionnaire (for life) how [?????] one thinks their education was.

probably a bad idea but it gets me to ponder long term measurements
Do you mean open wrt? If yes, the devs have serious problems whenever they need to deal with broadcom because of all the proprietary blobs. So the number of supported chipsets is low.
Because they locked in at high valuations. They start cutting prices and the whole house of cards start falling like dominos. Checkmate.
> Do you have any advice on how to paint a figurine?

One or two "Army Painter" brushes will do you fine.

Thin paints a little as you work, the paints in the bottles are a little thick.

Paint a base coat layer, wash a darker color over that layer, drybrush a lighter highlight over that layer and you'll be 90% of the way there. From that point, it's just practice and adding skills.

The startup I worked at whose CEO got arrested for fraud also happens to be a startup that didn't have a CFO. (Or, as he explained it at the time, whose CEO was also the CFO... but c'mon, lol.)
> I remember experts telling me in 2009 that SpaceX was fundamentally fucked.

That is a very poor analogy to Theranos' situation. In SpaceX's case, there is obviously nothing fundamentally impossible about using rockets to get stuff into space - humans have obviously been doing that for quite some time now. I'm guessing the experts you talked to were more making economic arguments, or making arguments that the stuff SpaceX was proposing doing would be too phenomenally difficult before the money ran out.

That's very, very different from "physically impossible". Getting accurate quantitative tests from finger pricks is not "technical risk". It is physically impossible because capillary blood is simply not homogeneous enough at the proposed volumes. There was literally nothing of value that came out of any of Theranos' technology - it wasn't just a case of them not reaching sustainability before their runway ran out.
Weird, there’s a variety at my local farm market called Crimson Crisp that is my new favorite because it is tasty and extremely crisp. But it’s not even listed on that ranking site… maybe it’s regional?

And I’ve never heard of the Cosmic Crisp, which is showing up in a lot of comments. Again, maybe regional?
Web is definitely better than mobile (Android/iOS) apps, as apps are hard to develop and hard to debug.
>I've heard it said that the tagline for the theory of evolution should really be "survival of the most adaptable"

That is the tagline. In the phrase, "survival of the fittest," "fittest" means "most adaptable," at least according to the Merriam Webster English dictionary.
I wonder if the author would be interested in writing 'React the good parts' - i think some things are still good even if the whole is bad.
The truth about raising VC money is that it's mostly about deception.

If you don't deceive, other people who engage in deception will be funded instead of you.

Alot of VCs actually admit to this indirectly.

They say for example the role of a pitch deck is to "Get the VC excited".

If you talk about real, boring numbers? (early stage businesses must have boring numbers or they are actually not "early stage".
How can you make millions of dollars and continue to call yourself "early stage") you will be ignored.

It's about like dating. If a woman wants to get attention from men.

A rational man would look for features like trust worthiness, commitment, love, he cooking skills etc.

But women know that to get most men's attention it's usually about having a fake silicone butt, fake exposed cleavages, fake pouty lips, fake hair and make up.

Deceptive women definitely get more attention from men than natural undeceptive women.

We shouldn't be surprised that in VC investors are biased to fall for deception from fraudulent start-up founders.

Instead of real founders that don't have Juicy metrics.
Your local setup plus VPN/wireguard is a good design. For me, port forwarding on my router was a no-go due to the increased attack surface. Therefore, I wanted to use the cloud to route the videos and hence I decided to use a strong end-to-end encryption scheme (MLS).

Regarding the limitation you mentioned: I plan to address them. The next task on my plate is to support multiple cameras. :-)
Actual peer-to-peer distributed networking, think torrents or crypto or IPFS, but you have to have proof of net worth (PoNeWo), or at least proof of class connection (PoNePo) in order to participate.

Also they clearly need a matchmaking system for putting them in touch with unhoused individuals and other poors who are sufficiently motivated to play the most dangerous games.
I work with a bunch of people who fit into this mind set.

My view is that they want to play and not work to get things done.

I also see it as we are engineers first and foremost and we use a software language as a tool to solve a problem.

I’m also a musician who had the chance to make a living in audio production and nothing is worse than working on other peoples tedious projects, so decided to keep the art I love for myself and have a much better paid career in tech.

I guess it’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

Sounds like you need to find another job!
Part of it may be that we have already done the easy parts of making medicine and education efficient. I can watch a lecture from a world class professor on my bus ride, or get an alert from my watch if I have an arrhythmia.

If I want to ask the professor a question, or figure out why I have an arrhythmia I need to get personal attention and that is much harder.
"How I Hacked Temu"
China has been pivoting hard for the past decade to move away from coal fired power generation. They're not coal free by any means, but that hard pivot has made nearly every other nation pay attention to just how rapidly it can be done, how it enables industry and economy, how it improved their air quality in areas where coal has been replaced, etc.

Don't think you're magically picking up some gotcha here that they have not thought of. They're not dumb, and they're absolutely smashing the pants off the energy transition, which is hard for a manufacturing economy.
Note that this scenario happened for ANSSI and MCS Holdings, so there would be precedence. I'm eager to see what Google concludes this time.

I wonder if it's to keep the price floor higher so if it turns around, they're back in the green. A gamble, but one it seems often is used with commercial rentals, they rather leave them empty then have a too low paying tenant.
Very cool, but nobody will hear about this until at least a week after they format their ntfs drives that they have been putting off formatting for 2 years
I'm sure there's something to be said for the visual appeal, but I think they actually did justify it in universe as an isolation mechanism; physically using a keyboard means no BadUSB or such.
You are not perfect though. There will always be factors overlooked and simply acknowledging that before it becomes a problem is something most management has failed to grasp which is what motivates this sentiment. I can bet now often than not on this thread alone now people have felt the negative effects of every action being quantified for the sake of 'profitability' by someone who lacks a firm grasp on the field being measured, which leads to high performing employees being let go.
> Maybe you write isomorphic javascript

I’m surprised to see people still misusing the word isomorphic.
Or you could kick it in a perfect temperate climate, eat fruit off trees and sleep all day.
That's definitely better, if done right. I still prefer to avoid port forwarding on my router if possible. The fewer attack surfaces I have to worry about, the better.
I'm shocked... =3

Sci-Hub Standard Template Construct ("STC") IPFS
Good day to all! I titled this discussion as "sci-hub Standard Template Construct ("STC") IPFS" but this discussion was first referenced here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39513126. Hope was given that new papers from sci-hub via their alternate service ("STC") are still available
using IPFS! This is VERY exciting! I have installed IPFS locally and have added the ("STC") site, yet I receive "504 Gateway Time-out"! I have tried to access the particular academic paper through the ("STC") site directly and still same error! Is there something I am doing wrony or is it just bad timing and this option no longer exists? The discussion appears to only 9 months ago, which to me is recent, but then again, in this business, changes can happen daily (if not sooner)!

If anyone has insight to share, I invite you to please shed light on this experience! Thank you for your time! Be Blessed

This assumes that schools are run purely for the future profitable careers of students. If you were a dean deciding what to invest in, would you ever give the teaching school more money? Would the medical school ever train another tropical disease specialist?
It is moral (legality is flawed, copyright is a sham, etc) that if you own a piece of media that you can own it in every digital form based on that media. I.e., buy the disk and pirate it to your Jellyfin to avoid the annoyance of ripping the disk. VPNs are cheap and the *arr software suite is quite capable.
Honestly this does not compute

> None of these "AI" tools have yet demonstrated the ability to classify "This is datapath", "This is array logic", "This is random logic".

Sounds like a good objective, one that could be added to training parameters. Or maybe it isn't needed (AI can 'understand' some concepts without explicitly tagging)

> If I have the compute power to run EDA tools with a couple of different random seeds, at least one run will likely be a couple percentage points better.

Then do it?! How long does it actually take to run? I know EDA tools creators are bad at some kinds of code optimization (and yes, it's hard) but let's say for a company like Intel, if it takes 10 days to rerun a chip to get 1% better, that sounds like a worthy tradeoff.

> I put this snake oil in the same category as "financial advice"--if it worked, they wouldn't be sharing it and would simply be printing money by taking advantage of it.

Yeah I don't think you understood the problem here. Good financial advice is about balancing risks and returns.
The best part of all of it is, there is no alternative or replacement when AI automates everything.

We'll see what happens when the tide gets low.
Yes, it lets you define custom chords to suit your needs and languages.
Is there a specific reason why I'm seeing so little mention of DuckDuckGo?

It's not perfect, but it gets the job done 99% of the time, and I feel much more trust towards them than the alternatives.

I still need to figure out how to optimally perform the classic convenience search "X near me" without relying bigger names.
Yes, indeed. Using WebRTC and MLS together should provide good performance and privacy. In fact, Discord recently did that: https://discord.com/blog/meet-dave-e2ee-for-audio-video

It's something I plan to look into at some point.

The reason people talk about this is because carbon credit trades are similar to minting shitcoins:

- You have to create demand for something totally subjective like, "Does this reduce carbon emissions?"

- There is a large liquid market for carbon credits.

- You have to turn something nonfungible like various carbon sequestration technologies and schemes into something fungible like tons of CO2 emissions.

- So you go and "mint" a "shitcoin," lets say literal chicken shit being processed "in a way" that makes it "make less carbon." Then some BS little certifying agency says that it does do that, whatever that means, and someone does some lab test once, that shows something, and then "AI Algorithms" are used to extrapolate the impact. Then you go to JP Morgan who needs various shitcoin-like things like this minted by people like you, and JP Morgan bundles it all up in a trade where Microsoft, who decided that they need to offset all datacenter emissions, will become the literal bagholder of chicken shit.

Is there much of a difference between science trade journals speculating about so and so carbon reduction scheme and crypto trade journals speculating about so and so utility token? They are similar energies. I would love for there to be utility in the other side of the carbon credit schemes, but it looks like bullshit more often than not.
So you’re saying that the problem with education is not funding, structural inequality, uneven or poor curriculum, or any number of other realistic complaints about American education. It’s simply that the kids are bad.

I mean, rock-solid take, I guess. Don’t bother trying to improve, folks, these kids don’t deserve it.

Assuming we rule out blindingly stupid arguments, perhaps we could ask if the distribution of that average funding might have something to do with the problem? Your anecdotal evidence doesn’t really serve to illustrate that education across the whole country is fine and of similar quality.
Detected != measured. A good manager has no problem to evaluate and manage situations even if they can't put numbers on what is happening.

I'm having trouble finding what I remember seeing maybe 4 years ago. It was an all in one cellular component with an esim. This is the closest I can find to what I remember seeing. It may lead you to some other solutions.

https://1nce.com/en-us/1nce-connect/10-dollars-for-10-years

I remember seeing stupidly cheap prices for cellular chips, and when I looked into it, it looked like they had bought up a bunch of bulk bandwidth on some really old tech, like 2G. The offering wasn't a lot of data per period but certainly enough to wake up and upload a small amount of data regularly. Seemed like an obvious product, I know that if I'm doing a design, I don't want to have to rely on ongoing costs. I'm surprised I can't find more hits like this one. It's possible that peak IoT led to some crazy business models that had no chance of sustaining. I think they may have banking on the network dying before having to figure out how to purchase more bandwidth.

Digikey was no help. Googling "Lifetime Data Cellular Communication plan" did lead to some other potential interesting hits. chatgpt almost gave me interesting things to look for, but it mostly pointed me at consumer good. Good luck.
Presumably the cybernetic typing mechanism is for enhanced access to terminals not equipped for direct machine interface. :)

I might suggest the opposite, actually; (many) real interfaces prioritize function over looking fancy. Ex. When I use vi, there's basically nothing to see; it would be kind of awful as entertainment, because it's not geared for appearance.
Curious why there's so much emotion and unpleasantness in this dispute? How did it evolve from the boring academic argument about benchmarks, significance, etc to a battle of personal attacks?

I think it's the other way around. My interlocutor above has a "thick lens of ideology and tribalism".

This is why they're being very unspecific and arguing like a child from a position of conviction, "this is the most evident thing there ever was".

I've never had a keen eye to people that ride on the labour of other people and take credit for their work. Gossip magazines just don't work on me, and I don't trust the rich when they say they're "progressive" or whatever, like Musk did before. If they meant what they say, they'd get rid of their riches and return to society.

So much of X was built on bad one time hacks that never died, that ossified into place.

It's zero surprise to me that Wayland folks didn't rapidly promote the first pass at color management to official status.

Headlines like this are misleading as fuck. It elevates the consternation of those wondering "why wasn't this here already?!". But this is the hopeful 1.0 of a long road, of compositor specific tries, of countless iterations & tweaks.

The case for respecting a long hard process are vastly vastly vastly undersold. Short un-understanding quickly dominates. It's easy to say why wasn't something there? But in 20 years, it would be way worse and way harder to say "why was such a bad thing approved?". It just takes a lot of time, for incredibly open ended problems to find reasonably good satisfactory resolution, that multiple implementers will feel is a good sound protocol to work from. It isn't a desire for minimalism that drove Wayland protocols, it's a shock horror & critical terror at what the sloppy past had allowed to grow up & a recognition that what gets 1.0'ed needs to face a much higher standard than what happened in the past, needs a far higher level fo confidence & future sightedness. Don't ship slop.

Appease the user of now, or build an enduring legacy that can keep building: the early-game people will forever protest & scream about how bad the late-game builds are at doing the thing, but the late game people almost never ever get the respect & accolades for ascertaining & achieving the true long term objectives. But if they weren't there, there's such a real chance the whole enterprise might have fallen over & collapsed.
It’s not the job of the lawyer to trust what the technical people are saying, it’s to protect the company. The lawyer will want to protect/cover anything even remotely plausible and/or has been seen to be a problem in similar situations.
Regarding big business, I kind of have the opposite reaction that it has been more community maintained and been the one of the reasons I kind of admired it as a software project. They also tried to make this choice clear by making the tools, documents as accessible as possible.

If you look at the history of Rust, the crates, cargo-team, etc, it is mostly community maintained.

An example of such community-oriented large project is Bevy.

It was only when libraries, rust itself was mature enough, the big tech companies started get involved (apart from Mozilla of course).

Whenever the project gets big and important enough, it will get attraction from large companies. The same is true for C++, as well.
There's also many old people that are so demented they're just sitting in a chair drooling, totally unaware of their surroundings. They receive as much care as they can get but it's not really improving their quality of life. They basically exist only as a reminder for the people that knew them.

I do think that euthanasia would make sense in these cases. The real person, their mind, has died a long time ago, it's just their body that lives on.

Of course the decision should be up to these people (while they're still capacitated) and their family. It shouldn't be imposed on them. But personally I wouldn't want to "live" like that.
The number one predictor of human wealth is energy consumption. Since the stagnation of the west in the 1980s we have seen the same stagnation in energy consumption there.

Escape from New York has some amazing cyberpunk UI aesthetic, so does Jurassic Park and the 90's Lost in Space movie. Lost in Space in particular has some absolutely gorgeous scifi UI.

> Are you describing what the law is or what you feel the law should be?

I am stating what is, right now.

I thought the weed example made that clear.

Let me clarify: the state of things, as they stand, is that the entire justice system, legislation and courts included, takes scale into account when looking at the line dividing "legal" from "illegal".

There is literally no defense of "If it is legal at qty x1, it is legal at any qty".

I can think of a couple reasons:

- Switches frequently offer PoE by default whereas routers (especially consumer or PC-grade stuff) would need a PoE adapter

- Devices connected to the switch can communicate directly without the router, saving a hop

- Modern switches may only need to read the first few bytes of the frame before cutting the packet over to the appropriate port, whereas routers tend to need to read the whole packet and apply rules/policy, incurring higher processing costs

An ordinary home LAN may not find any noticeable benefits, but an enterprise setup might benefit.
