Isotretinoin is poison, here's my article about it: https://www.kaiwenwang.me/writing/effects-and-detoxification...

In some parts of the internet, Vitamin A is theorized to not be a vitamin but a poison.

Auto-immunity is likely related to biofilms in the intestines and plant defense chemicals such as lectins in combination with leaky gut.

Try looking @ cabbage juice for your Crohn's. There are YT videos about it.
Making film backed images from edited digital pictures is not beyond the ability of a motivated individual, let alone a state entity. Even something as rudimentary as a film camera pointed at a slightly out of focus 4k screen can be made believable, specially in a film stock with heavy grain.
if a hash can transform any size input, into a fixed length string, then that implies irreversibility due to the pigeonhole principle. It's impossible, not infeasible
At least car headlights are aimed down, below the eye-level of other drivers, and this is actually checked and enforced in the UK. But many cyclists install high-powered LED beams and aim them upwards, at the eye level of other cyclists. It's even worse when they're flashing/strobing lights!
We all have different guts and understanding your personality, which part of your guts you can trust and with which one’s to maintain a more sober relationship with is a very individual learning journey in my experience.

Only trusting your gut is probably as bad a piece of advice as saying ”never trust your gut”.

I also think it's really cool how he parodies himself. Most of the other martial arts actors from the 80s take themselves way too seriously now, like Steven Seagal who just phones it in in B-movies. Jean Claude van Johnson was awesome.
Jesus christ, that video is so fucking infuriating.

The absolute disdain that that cop has for constitutional rights is appalling.

And what's more appalling is that this kind of thing happens so much; that there's nothing stopping it. Cops seize property with no justification all the time, and there's so little recourse.

Sure, occasionally a program like this might be stopped, but there's nothing stopping them from starting it back up again in a slightly different form.

They spend years seizing money from thousands of people and paying kickbacks for it; maybe some of the folks were doing it for illicit purpose, maybe some weren't, it's hard to know because there's no due process of law, civil forfeiture just lets cops take money from people on the flimsiest of suspicion.

The 4th amendment is meaningless as long as civil asset forfeiture exists.
Pointing out a material misrepresentation is hardly a nitpick. I'm quite surprised to see an MIT affiliated publication making such an error.

That said since it isn't source code I think the end result is probably a bit different. Unless I misunderstand something you could still use the data to further a commercial venture. You just can't directly commercialize the dataset itself. Conceptually similar to using a GPL'd software tool as an end user while performing work on a proprietary project.
"I discovered that Google Chat is now integrated in the Gmail app"

Google Chat (or at least some variation of it) has been available in Gmail for 10+ YEARS. At the time I had a pixel phone, and it seamlessly integrated regular GChat with SMS, so they were all searchable.

Then they proceeded to completely donk it up and half of my old records disappeared overnight. Fortunately I make regular use of the "Google Takeout" service so I still have the old XML backups of the conversations.
I guess if you have enough resources, faking something is possible. But making it expensive means fewer people could do it. The advent of ai and ease of doing so is what is dangerous.

Perhaps images taken in the future by digital cameras need to come with an IR depth map as well, which would make it harder to fake.
Do you plan on expanding the functionality?

It is really amazing how flawless it work. You should do a blog post describing how you did it.
As an actual builder it has limitations, such as not having (built in) the ability to know if it can still do an incremental build after changing some build option. That can result in inconsistent builds.

The main problem is that you often require more logic than makes sense to write in make, but it kind of has a language built into it so people try to use it. But as a language it's terrible (no scoping, many missing features). So people end up implementing their build logic in a bastard combination of make and shell which is very opaque and difficult to debug.

For example, I was recently trying to figure out how the OpenWRT makefiles are doing something, and it was really painful, because with make having no scoping any part of the system could end up affecting the piece you are looking at. There is a lot of dropping into shell to get stuff done, and a lot of the targets are themselves expanded variables, which makes it really opaque. Really a lot of it is not gaining from being written in make, they could do with rewriting large parts in a real language. But it would be a huge job. And that's where a lot of makefile systems end up

That's why you get tools like ninja where they decided not to allow any logic at all.
Pretty sure the Model Y is more cost effective than any ICEV now. There are still valid reasons to prefer an ICE but it’s more expensive to do so.
DOJ/DEA already said they are stopping the practice in airports.

But what about the rest of the country and all the police departments that do the same thing every day?

I would have expected the opposite to occur because of that - lesser saving rates because they have more robust available social services and don't need emergency reserves.

Fortunately, he blogged the whole time :) He has a post back in Jan 2023 saying the same thing.
Been through the airport shenanigans enough; collected DEA cards like they was Pokémon. Glad to see them do away with this practice. DEA could definitely use more checks and balance structure with their history of warrantless taps, gps tracking, stingrays, parallel construction (obscuring the true source of where information came from denying those charged the ability to challenge and defend themselves properly.)
> A fourth hack may still be better

That may be true, but it’s still a problem if you can never create new abstractions, because that prevents you from creating good abstractions too, not just bad ones.
Are you writing scripts that will break?

just isn't something magical that will make scripts meant for Linux work in Windows, you know. Some people do actual development in Windows and have Windows scripts.
There's probably a tool that will work similarly in Windows. I was saying it merely because that's what the direnv Github page implies.
I ran into this exact issue trying to board a flight from the USA to Tokyo, a number of years ago. About 2 steps from getting on the plane a plain clothes cop pulled me aside and searched my luggage. The only thing he asked about, repeatedly, was if I was carrying cash. Fortunately for me, I was not. After he made sure to go through everything I had he let me get on the plane.

When the only thing he was concerned about is if I had any cash on me, it sure felt like an attempted robbery. He never asked about drugs or anything else illegal I might have had.

This needs to come to an unqualified stop.
Something that languages like Visual BASIC or SpiderBasic get right is including an opinionated GUI toolkit which is well integrated with the language and straightforward to use.

Less flexibility than Python or JavaScript, but standardized, relatively easy to use, and always there by default.

To me, its just another form of fiction. Its as much a crime as writing a story where you base a character in it on someone you know, and subject that character to sexual acts. Sure its depraved, but it doesn't pass the criminality threshold for me, not by a long shot.

And no, i do not see the use of real photos and video to be material to this specific discussion.

I think this issue is a great way to evaluate the values and integrity of a society.
> Earth was moving

They believed that the stars and Earth moved relative to each other, as far as I can tell. Why does it matter if they thought the Earth was moving or if they thought the stars were moving?

Maybe the math is simpler if it's the Earth.
How is this any different to auditors or penetration testers doing a crap job? The payment might be in the form of bonuses or more work billed, but it’s just not realistic.
You wouldn't have been able to capture the signal with a VCR as it wouldn't have made it to your TV. You would have had to somehow record the modulated cable signal before it went into your cable box.
That's a bit strange because the machine scanning you at the airport can see cash... At least US cash.. it has a hard time with crypto though.
> You wouldn't use GNU Make (the thing that comes for "default" on Linux) with Python either.

But people do use Make all the time for Python projects - as a command runner. Pelican projects, for example, come with a Makefile to start the server, publish, etc.

The whole point of this submission is that many, many people use Makefiles not for incremental builds, but as a convenient place to store commonly used commands. And just is a better and simpler tool than make for that. If you're on Windows, it's a pain to install make, compared to installing just.

AI Agents as Neuro-Symbolic Systems? [video]
In Github Actions, because their runners use echo commands to print out environment variables and variables that have been declared via inputs, which in return is parsed in the UI.

So technically, all environment variables are unsanitized and this was only the first problem in a list of bugs. This bug specifically used the "pull_request" event/action because it is automatically executed without any chance of stopping it, and was using details exposed via the pull requests head.ref.

Next up: git usernames and emails that use shellcode injection names, because github probably won't introduce sanitization to all variables/inputs now.

This is a prime example why you should never ever use a shell to log arbitrary data.
I generally agree, but someone making another claim in response also needs evidence. If the response was, 'what is the evidence?', that would be different.
To condense a few points. China generally out competes on a few points:
- strategic government investment
- lower cost of labour
- lower environmental regulation
- proximity to downstream consumers
Though you probably will never know why, there must be some reason why you were identified as someone who is likely carrying large amounts of cash. Wonder what criteria they're using and how many civil rights violations they've bundled into it.

Also - it's an extension of OS updates but these phones were already getting security updates for the same period.

Its dead now but i one time (by hand) build an opml with feeds from pressreleases from the fortune 500. It seemed stupid but turns out no one is looking to crank out shitty pressreleases just for attention. Something has to be noteworthy to the company which turns out to be boring less than 90% of the time. At the very least 99% talks about something that was very expensive.
In the long run with AI - email outbound is dead as the marginal cost of creating personalised content decreases to the cost of LLM tokens.

The future is back to cold calling with a real-life human on the phone - until voice-to-voice LLMs commoditise that as well.

Then salespeople and founders with strong networks will thrive. You'll see a comeback to F2F meetings and dinners as people crave real connections.
It's no secret that air fryers work like a convection oven, but they're not at all the same. Air fryers in my experience are much, much faster to cook, and easier to clean. Perfect for one or two person meals really.

For example, I can get fries from frozen to on the verge of burning in 15 minutes with an air fryer. My oven isn't top of the line or anything, but would take at least twice as long, and probably waste a lot more energy in the process.

So if nothing else, the temp and timing info here would be key as they likely won't match typical oven recipes.

> Doing so in a way that prevents any other future system change or peaceful transfer of political change is Fascism.

Instituting a monarchy isn't fascism, so that definition doesn't work either. Dictatorships aren't automatically fascism; communism for example was explicitly in opposition to fascism. The fascists in fact inflicted huge casualties on the communists despite both ideologies being authoritarian dictatorships. You're running in to the major problem in defining fascism - if a group of people don't say "we are fascists!" then there isn't anything unique that identifies the fascists.

> The difficulty is fascists never say they are fascists. they don’t advertise it.

I swear I drafted my comment before I got to this part. That is literally the only way of identifying fascism. It is a self-identification. It is like being part of a club - the only way of knowing who is in the club is talking to the people/club management. Or if they otherwise identify themselves with a funny hat or something. They didn't actually stand for any particularly clear cut ideologies.
Noise is a reality and a potential problem in ranking candidates for sure, 100%. Of course it’s worse than just measurement noise; the noise in hiring is subjective and situational and human. The sampling method doesn’t fix it, using the Secretary Problem approach doesn’t give you less noise, it gives you more noise in the result. The benefit of stopping early is that it reduces the cost of sampling, but if the company doesn’t care about the cost of sampling, there is no “problem” there to solve.

If you want to reduce noise, the way to do it is to have more independent measurements (interviewers), not to stop interviewing early.

The good news is that there’s no such actual thing as “best” in this situation and people have many dimensions, they can’t be ranked perfectly, but they can still be ranked approximately. We also don’t need to get the exact 30 people out of 100k people with infinite precision, we will get an amazing set if we can take a random sample of the top 1000 candidates out of 100k candidates. Having 100k candidates gives us the opportunity to end up with a selection from the top 1%, say, whereas if the number of applications was 40 people for 30 jobs, you might be stuck accepting people who are below average.
I know plenty folk who spent their entire lives in prison over nonviolent drug charges. Or who had their life savings confisgated.

Every living person involved in this disgusting program and the larger war on drugs should be rounded up and tied to the ground in front of every major US prison, so that they can be stampeded to death when every nonviolent drug offender is simultaneously released and given soccer cleats.

In a healthy democracy, justice and revenge are clearly separable. When the walls start falling down, they become one and the same. We all better strap in for a wild ride over the next 4 years as our democracy is systematically dismantled by billionaires. They better strap in as well.
I don’t even remotely understand what you’re saying is wrong. Median salaries are significantly higher in the US compared to any other region. Nominal and PPP adjusted AND accounting for taxes/social benefits. This is bad?

Those jobs you referenced do not have the same requirements nor the same wages…seems like your just clumping all of those together as “lower class” so you can be champion of the downtrodden
How is it in any way similar?

The last part reminds me of this Quote from the movie The End of The Tour about DFW.

“We're going to have to develop some real machinery inside of our guts to turn off pure, unadulterated pleasure, or I don't know about you, I'm going to have to leave the planet.”

“Why?”

“Because the technology is just going to get better and better, and it's going to get easier and more and more convenient to sit alone with images on a screen, given to us by people that do not love us but want money. And that's fine in low doses. But if it's the basic main staple of your diet, you're going to die.”

Most countries have limits on the amount of cash transaction (for good reasons) (EDIT: or bad reasons if you don't like the government :shrug:) but I have not heard of carry limits and seizures like that... Maybe in those countries they count on the fact that if a transaction is too large both sides risk that the other one will snitch to law enforcement?

I’m sorry this is your workplace, or the workplace of so many people. Sometimes things just suck and there is nothing you can do. I recognize it’s also cultural, in America, especially Silicon Valley, there is a less formal division of authority and weaker hierarchy between workers and management, so these conversations are easier.

But there are also many workplaces that are more human, and run by people who you can build a psychological trust and rapport with. In those cases, there are opportunities to propose improvements, or push for pauses in feature work for support work. It’s not every day, and you can’t always change everywhere, but often management is receptive if you can sell it. This is how you start to build greater autonomy and a bit of fun into the workplace.

It takes a certain level of trust, but starting with tasks that vaguely fit the below tend to work well - start with something focused clearly on the business, not your own person feature ideas.

“Debugging/deploying/verbing situation X takes 0.5 man-sprints every sprint (across the team). If we can spend 2 sprints with 2 engineers to do X, we can cut this down to 0… during [time of year, eh holidays], our feature work slows down because people often take vacation. Can person and I work on this?”
> The things you listed aren’t stored procedures, they are all possible to implement as check constraints. They are great, and they are fully compatible with ORMs.

I didn't claim that they are not compatible with ORMS. I said the majority of developers have no clue just how much of value they can get out of their database using types and constraints because the only interface they have every used to the RDBMS is the ORM, and the ORM doesn't expose any of this.

I've commonly seen developers put in things like `if ((!A && B) || (A && !B)) { /* updateDbWithOneOf(A,B) */ }` in their code rather than use the constraints provided by the RDBMS.

What are the good reasons? I can understand one party not wanting to deal with a large amount of cash. But the government shouldn't have any say in how much cash you use.
