> Brady I don't have much of an opinion on. I do know, as a value, that I buy all of my firearms through a licensed FFL. It's at most $50 + shipping. I don't think that's too restrictive.

I think we, as gun owners, do need to acknowledge there are people who go to gun shows to illegally acquire weapons or perform strawman sales with relative ease. Maybe my solution isn't the best, but it does need addressing.

If you really want to tread into analoging ownership to voting I think you'll be very disappointed. We require a lot of hurdles to vote. You have to go to an authorized voting location (akin to going to an FFL), you have to present ID that is known to the state so they can correlate that you are, in fact, in the right place (all those checks I mentioned), and afterwards they determine whether everyone who voted was eligible to vote. If they weren't, they're charged with a serious crime.
How do you know this? Is there actual reporting on what percentage of honey in supermarkets is adulterated, rather than just anecdotal reports that at least some is?
Definitely. I was only discussing the telegraph and its skeptics.
> Just what?

"Oh... come on! Just... <waving hands angrily>"

Pretty clear to me :).
Who said all the time? Thats a strawman you construct just to knock down. Obviously that isnt practical. This is a bad faith assertion.

We could take a moment to think abiut how it starts and why. Lets suppose you get into an altercation or proximity of a known bad actor and have concerns. Someone offers you a small bump so you can take shifts. happens everyday to the homeless. Day to day problems are highly contextual (eg students taking adderall to cram similarly). Addictions evolve from innocent actions.
The phrase "a sucker born every minute" is not near as old as "caveat emptor" or "cui bono", but the constancy of viewpoint should have told you something
In a lot of countries there are rules, for instance limitations in terms of spending or similar time on air for all candidates. I don't know whether that's the case in Romania, but it is completely possible to rule an election out even if people voted "freely". I know that typically doesn't apply to the US, but there's a world outside of it
> these AIs are just models, which also means they are only software.

Other software are much less of a black box, much more predictable and many of its paths have been tested. This difference is the whole point of all the AI safety concerns!

In point of fact no chunks of the network were ruined at all. Dynamic routing was a design point way back when DARPA funded IPv4, and for exactly this reason.

This is a question of definition. It is synthetic in that I just passed a prompt, asking for N amount of examples of X. And I did not go over the entire list I got and blindly trusted it. In this context, I needed an even(or nearly even distribution) of samples in the training data and it worked way better than I was hoping. Mind you, I have to face a similar issue next week and I'm not sure this approach would cut it - I need way more training data and way more classes to work with. 249 classes if I'm not mistaking.

The original comment was about running DOS programs under OS/2 1.0. The comment I replied to seemed to be under the impression that OS/2 didn't care about the DOS memory model, but of course it did, because it ran DOS programs in real mode.

But really calling memory above 1MB Extended Memory was just to differentiate it from Expanded Memory which was memory that was banked into the address space above 640k.
Fewer tools to manage. It seems like this could also be replaced by some aliases in a .bashrc file.

I don't like adding extra dependencies and complicating things if they aren't adding significant benefit. What am I missing here? It seems like an alias with extra steps.
People like to say the US is a car-dependent country (because you can't go anywhere without a car).

However, germany is the most car-dependent country (because it can't go anywhere without making cars).
That works too. I've done both and I currently use Just because it collects the entrypoints to the project into a single file. This can provide an advantage where there's a bit of interdependence across your entrypoints.

E.g: You have a docker container, you might be `run`ning it, `exec`ing it etc. from the same compose-file. So Just gives you the ability to link those shared commands within the same file. Once the entrypoints get too numerous you can either break them into scripts (I do this partially depending on the level of behavioral complexity in the script) or partition your justfiles and import them into a single master.
On the transponders off point, I imagine soon we will have enough satellites such that we can map every object on the surface of the earth (specially something as large as a boat).

Could even see it through clouds using radar.
Where law enforcement organizations have gotten involved here is writing a "law letter" saying, "Dear ATF: We're interested in firearm X. Please let machinegun dealer Y acquire a sample to demonstrate it for us." Then dealer Y can buy firearm X and keep it as long as they maintain their license, only being able to sell it to the government or another licensed machinegun dealer.
Anyone try Proton?
> from just the sequence and no other data

This is my real question with these... we already have a ton of other data for genomics. So, many of the important regions are already known and studied. And really, the functional importance of any given region/sequence is highly context/cell type specific. So, given this, what are the use cases? What kind of hypothesis generation can these models lead to that we aren't currently doing in genomics?
If that works well for you, use it.

I did that for 10+ years and got fed up with having to remember which names I gave to my scripts that month. I gradually evolved my views and that got reflected with the names of the scripts.

`just` helped me finally move away from that. Now I have i.e. `just check` in projects in different languages that all do the same thing -- check types and/or run various linters. I can go in a directory and run `just check` and I know I have taken care to have all checks that I want in place. Similarly I can run `just test` and I know I'll have the test suite ran, again regardless of the programming language or framework.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a directory full of scripts but I lost patience for having to scan what each does and moved away from them.
Rose colored glasses looking at the past. Nostalgia for something that never was.
That is the case in the field but its only in popular press we get a “junk dna may not be junk” repost every few years. And the resulting comments always go as you expect: people out of the field commenting on hubris, people in the field saying people in fact make careers studying the dynamics of this “junk dna” and its not really a term used in the field. Every thread on this exactly the same whether I see it here or on reddit.
> with a non-reversible function f into f(x) then you are losing information.

A non-reversible function f does not necessarily lose information. Some non-reversible functions, like one-way functions used in cryptography, can be injective or even bijective but are computationally infeasible to invert, which makes them practically irreversible while retaining all information in a mathematical sense. However, there is a subset of non-reversible functions, such as non-injective functions, that lose information both mathematically and computationally. It’s important to distinguish these two cases to avoid conflating computational irreversibility with mathematical loss of information.

Are you talking about a specific country or anywhere (in the West, I assume)?
The Chinese government doesn't want public scientific criticism about anything, including its COVID response. But in 2020 Yong-Zhen was outspoken, complaining to journalists that the government wasn't listening to him back in January when he warned about an uncontrollable epidemic. He has continued to post on Weibo about fighting for the truth. Seems like standard authoritarianism to me, and there's nothing really to wonder about: China persecutes internal critics.

It is empty-brained to assume China must be hiding some deeper, darker secret. China spent six months hoping COVID was overblown and would just go away on its own. They do not want people on social media asking questions about this.
> you have to present ID that is known to the state

Not in most states.

There are people that go to the polling booth and commit voter fraud with relative ease, therefore it needs addressed.

The Brady bill was allowed to proceed because of the guarantee that people wouldn't need to involve the government to conduct a private sale between two individuals or gift firearms between father and son, for instance.

Calling it a loophole that "does need addressing" is reneging on a compromise.

Also, have you ever been to a gun show? Recently? Do you know the actual, real percentage of FFLs present vs private individuals? Today, these shows are composed of 95% FFLs anyway, all of whom perform background checks - and the available deals are shitty.
If you want to put your local beekeeper out of the business of selling honey, then by all means, complain about an inadequate regulatory state. Because that's who the bureaucrats will go after.
To Portugal. If you have enough assets to retire in the US then you probably qualify for the passive income visa.

It’s not all smooth sailing, though. The immigration agency here (AIMA) currently has 300,000 cases in the queue. It’s so difficult to get an appointment that people are making hundreds of calls per day, standing in queues for hours only to not be seen, and filing lawsuits.

Most people here make about €1200/mo and there’s a severe housing crisis that I have contributed to with my presence. The influx of people like me with vastly higher purchasing power is creating resentment: the far-right party quadrupled (5% -> 20%) their seats in parliament by running against immigration.

Having said that, I do love it here. I’ve been considering blogging about my experience since there’s a dearth of clear-eyed information from real people who moved to Portugal and aren’t selling something.

Anyhow, I’m happy to share more info and resources with anyone who wants to learn more. Please feel free to reach out - my contact info is in my profile.
It's just fear mongering, maybe they are like 10% less productive every decade-group after 60 on average, but it's hard to tell considering people leave the work force at 65. I'd wager that they are more productive on average than 20-30 year olds unless they have dementia.

Having an older population is only a problem if want unskilled labor to remain cheap relative to it's social value. The whole world has seen from America that relying on an immigrant underclass creates too many negative externalities for the price saved, I doubt Japan will copy this plan, they will just bite the bullet, pay more, and then act surprised when NEETs decide to work.

A lot of it is infact something like that. Only the feature is often something like a transposable element that you absolutely do not want to ever turn on, else it will randomly insert itself all over your DNA potentially in the very important bits as well and make things no longer work.

backdrop-filter: blur() is still annoyingly buggy and inconsistent between browsers. I just ran into this this week - Chrome doesn't supported nested/stacked blurred backgrounds, whereas Firefox does. https://codepen.io/joshhunt/full/GgKZKed

Also ran into odd colour issues in Firefox when combining it also with opacity.
From the article:

An EU investigation published last year found 46% of imported sampled products were suspected to be fraudulent, including all 10 from the UK. Samples used in October by the UK branch of the Honey Authenticity Network for a novel form of DNA testing found that 24 out of 25 jars from big UK retailers were suspicious.

A large moon should absolutely mess this tidal locking up fwiw since it will have far more influence than the star just as our moon has far more tidal influence than our sun.

Not that I think tidal locking is a blocker for life but it’s also not a big deal since large moons are extremely common and therefore the tidal locking is not guaranteed.

Surprisingly, no, or at least it's not common.

I'm from a country that has 6-digit PINs on most cards, and I've traveled to e.g. the United States where people are surprised that credit card PINs can be more than 4 digits, but in my experience, terminals accept them just fine. It seems like they are designed to suggest a PIN is only 4 digits but they will happily accept more. So while you're entering your PIN, the display looks something like:

[....]

[*...]

[**..]

[***.]

[****]

[*****]

[******]

And then you hit OK and the PIN is accepted.
Ask HN: Essays on developer trials of accessibility tools?
Hello. I'm seeking to read individualist essays by programmers who rely on accessibility tools—their trials and experiences with tools, what made them effective (sight, hearing, physical, etc.), and what worked best for them.

I found this 5-year-old thread enlightening, but I was wondering if there were updates -

What damages it more? The court playing "calvinball" or a Putin puppet wrecking Romania?
1. The language is extremely simple and is consistent.

2. I agree on having to move away from imperative and go for declarative (if the latter was what you had in mind) -- any ideas for a better tool that does that and is just as easy to learn?

3. RE: cobbling together stuff with and around `just` is relatively trivial to fix f.ex. I have my own `just` recipes to bring up the entire set of dev dependencies for the project at hand, and then to tear them down. It's a very small investment and you get a lot of ROI.

4. RE: Nix, nah, if that's your sales pitch for it and against `just` then I'll just strongly disagree. Nix is a mess, has confusing cutesy naming terminology, has a big learning curve and a terrible language. All of that would be fine, mind you, and I could muscle through it easily but the moment I received several cryptic error messages that absolutely did not tell me what I did wrong and I had to go to forums and get yelled at, is the moment I gave up. `just` is simply much easier and I am not worried about not having Nix-like environments for my projects. Docker + compose work very well for this.

Finally, your point about an obscure single command that people forget about in the future applies to literally any and all task runners and dependency managers, Nix included. That's not a valid criticism towards `just` IMO.

I don't really disagree. You need, sorry, effective capitalism and a legal structure underneath the policy but that doesn't replace entrepreneurship and broader cultural norms.
Upvoting you actually, because what you're saying about the "deep state" is reasonably correct.

And people really, really need to stop triggering themselves over the term (simply because it is often misunderstood and used as conspiracy fodder).
You can look at sites like A.M.Best for ratings, but mostly it's been listening to what people say. Try using prompts like "does xxx pay claims fairly" to see what you get. There are only a few which get positive responses: Amica, American Family, The Hartford, and a few more.

Of course, much of what you hear is {dramatic}"I can't believe it's taking this long to fix my car" - which is natural. But then you hear stories about a company using a customer's photos from the accident scene to build up a repair estimate, and not sending an adjuster to look at the car once it is at the shop and on a lift. There is always going to be additional damage, commonly from the tow. But there may be damage that shows up once a bumper skin or other cover is removed.

The insurance companies are also low-balling the repair shops. An hourly rate on repairing a Mercedes is (perhaps) $200/hr. If the insurance company is only willing to pay $50/hr ("That's our standard rate") the shop is either going to turn down the work, or take shortcuts like using low-quality parts or junior technicians to make up the difference.
You've accidentally left off some pretty important context from that quote:

> Chrome Mobile teams in Seattle and Kirkland, spanning four sub-teams in Chrome, with an emphasis on ...

It's not the number of engineers working on Chrome. It's the number of engineers who worked in that guy's Chrome Mobile team in a specific location. (It's not clear whether there were other teams working in Chrome Mobile in other offices). That's a team making mobile-specific improvements to Chrome or adapting it to the mobile environment, not a team making a browser from scratch. So it's ignoring the people working on the layout engine, rendering engine, the javascript engine, security, the desktop UI, codecs, web APIs, developer tools, networking and protocols, extension APIs and store, etc.

There is also absolutely no way Chrome had 23 engineers in 2012, but since you didn't give the source, I have no idea of exactly what tiny subset that number was actually representing.
> While I applaud the OP for the initiative, if this ever takes off it will cause people to exploit the system in the following ways

It's true that the metrics used in this story could lead to being exploited. But the value of the initiative is not in the specific method used to donate, but in the idea of finding worthy yet non-obvious projects to donate and in leading by example.

If the initiative catches on, the community can find better, harder-to-exploit methods to find deserving targets, as for example it has happend with NGOs. This idea could create a healthy ecosystem that supports FLOSS software, just like the idea of a stock exchange supported the emergence of public traded corporations in the XVIII and XIX centuries.

If you cross the street 999 times with eyes closed, you might feel comfortable to do it again. But we are ingrained not to do that once. We just understand the risk.

If you do the same with an AI, after 999 times of nothing bad happening, you probably just continue giving it more risky agency.

Because we don't and even can't understand the internal behavior, we should pause, make an effort of understanding its risks etc before even attempting to give it risky agency. That's where all the fuss is about, for good reasons.
I am not a lawyer, and you should consult one if you're not sure. My personal rule of thumb, which you shouldn't take as legal advice:

Basically anyone who I would want to give me money or to buy the company will require that the company be registered in Delaware.

If it's just a legal entity for personal protection, and I don't expect anyone else to be involved, it's cheaper for me to just use my home state.
It would be literally impossible to get every country to even agree to a declaration that "warm puppies are good." Also, a lot of the shit countries do to each other is already explicitly against agreements they've signed.

Sadly, geopolitics isn't a gentleman's club. It's a brutal dog-eat-dog brawl where those with enough military power pretend rules matter - until they don't. The UN doesn't (and can't) enforce anything. It just proclaims platitudes which are ignored when it comes to anything that matters to those with real power. I mean they let Saudi Arabia chair the humans right committee, so it's clearly a joke.

Many countries ignore the International Criminal Court when it suits them and most of the others who protest, would turn around and do the same if something that really matters to their domestic power centers happens. The ICC is useful for dealing with regional warlords and criminals who don't have (or have lost) nation-state power. The criminals and warlords who do have nation-state power just ignore the ICC and the clever ones use the ICC to deal with domestic enemies when it's convenient. Unfortunately, respecting some ideal of international law or norms is a polite fiction for school children and the gullible.
The answer, of course, is Delaware.
