We think only humans can self identify.

Other animals that observably have language and culture may have social identities that include how they feel about themselves as well. Perhaps.

But at any rate, I’m relatively sure frogs are not a part of that potential group lol.

Frogs are a bit smarter than I used to give them credit for, though.

I live on the edge of a jungle, and I’ve had to transport frogs out of my house. First 20 meters, came back.
(The frog in question had an identifiable scar or deformity)

Then 100 meters.

Then 250 meters to a nearby stream…. Back in my sink within a week lol.

The setup for 'Living Wills' and directives to doctors, at least in the US as recently as ~4-5 years ago, suck. I remember thinking at the time that I saw what family was filling out that they failed to express the nuance that I would like for my own directives.

Generally if there's still hope for recovery to a not-shitty life then I'd prefer to proceed towards that. Even as extreme as E.G. that Leadale anime's setup where the protag's broken from the neck down but can live in a VR gameworld (deeper immersion so they can still move, taste, etc). If there's still real hope for reaching that, it might be worth toughing it out and waiting.

However that sort of nebulous criteria that requires a human to evaluate isn't present. I can't empower the doctors with such vague goals and say 'make your best call as a HUMAN doctor with that vague goal'.

If that good route isn't an option, then I wouldn't want to stick around either... and the lack of a clear legal euthanasia option in much of the US pushes people to roundabout failures for lack of food / water intake, or just giving in to inevitable statistics when a cold or stressed body complication like a heart attack happen. Heck, if my brain's the part that's fraying apart and I want to die anyway, please harvest the working organs as my method of death so someone else can live better.
I usually use Firefox/NoScript, with js from all but a tiny number of domains disabled by default. The web is far faster and less crap-infested that way.
Ding is rated over 100 points higher in rapid than Gukesh. The choice to spend time early was a choice by Ding and Ding's team. Ding is better at faster time controls than Gukesh, Gukesh was better prepared.
Same here. I really enjoyed working with Clipper. The fun ran out when my application was bursting through the available memory though. It would be nice to have a 64 bit linux/macos/windows Clipper-like compiler.
That's hardly a mountain, more like a big pile.
> I think the employee count blowup was his biggest mistake because it shortened Intel's runway towards being an external fab company.

It was a mistake, but in terms of runway, would not have made a large difference. The capital costs of running a fab dwarf the cost to pay salaries. That's why they still do fabs in the US - outsourcing to another country doesn't save much money.

> Another mistake of Pat's is that he did not split the company fully.

I don't know that anyone knows what his plans were on this. Internally within the company (and perhaps externally), he was clear on a few things:

- If Foundry cannot become profitable, he'll shut the fabs down and kill Foundry altogether.

- The Products side will be charged market rates, and they can choose if they want to use Intel's fabs or TSMC

- If an external company is willing to pay more than Intel Products, they'll prioritize the external company.

So he was trying to set it up so that it was effectively two separate companies. I guess it was either harder than expected, or there was significant pushback. When he joined, the two sides were heavily intertwined. His goal for 2023 was to get things separated enough so we could get separate P&L statements for Foundry and Products. He achieved it - but I don't know if it could have been done quicker.

The other (obvious) reason he didn't want to break the company up: Intel Foundry is unprofitable. They need the revenue that the Products brings in to keep it alive. The goal was to hit profitability in 2027-2028, when there are enough customers. Splitting it up now will kill Foundry altogether (and now with the CHIPS act, they are not allowed to kill Foundry).

As for the concern about funding competition - not sure how much that is true. The vast majority of TSMC's customers (including AMD) do not want to use the leading edge node. It's more expensive, and has higher quality problems. They are happy to let Apple take it. Likewise, the narrative was that most of these companies will prefer not using Intel's latest node, and would be happy to let Intel use that capacity. So I think the plan was to make 18A mature, move to 14, and then external customers will use the mature 18A node.
The is such a great project. I am a little confused by the oldmapsonline.org/timemap.org thing. Are they different names for the same thing? Why is the title timemap.org, when the URL is different?
Right, but there's a problem - the UK is in a real mess! Social services, medical services, all the services are underfunded and crumbling. There is a cost of living crisis as wages have barely moved in 15 years, food banks are everywhere, and now "multibanks" are popping up.

Our country first needs to ensure that people can choose to live, and if needed be cared for; nobody should feel pushed into assisted dying because of financial reasons.

I say this as someone who will be in pain for the rest of my life, and euthanasia has been on my mind at times. As much as I might "benefit" from such a law in the future, I don't believe it should be passed until we have a stable society with good services and safety nets.
Rest assured that the prevalence of AI means these skills will be even more important somehow. AI just made writing and coding skills even more important, not less, and I'd imagine the same will be true of finance and accounting.

Yes, that is the major problem I have with TEA. The best thing about Flutter's design is that it employs a "reverse iceberg" where many of Flutter's own widgets are composed with other widgets, leaving few architectural details "under the ocean".

That experience is lacking in TEA, although better in immutable languages like Gleam where it is easier to keep functions pure. Even in Iced, I'm going to side with those Elm proponents here and prefer Elm's function composition approach any day over guarding React or Flutter state from becoming spaghetti.
Immature, arrogant, and selfish is a good description of a person who demands other people stay alive despite immense suffering, just so you can feel morally superior and not have to experience loss.
I'm partially with you, in that I do see tragedy in these choices. I see tragedy that we lack the cultural and economic institutions to support peope towards the end of life in ways (especially ones that don't make them feel like a burden.)

However, I don't think the solution to that tragedy to to make people suffer through. I think the solution is more and better institutions that reduce that suffering so fewer people are pushed to make the choice to end it.
That's going to be complicated for no particularly good reason. It will turn out kind of like Android in Kindle Fire devices: No Play Store, but some app compatibility. Google won't drop their compatibility requirements, and Meta won't give up their own development path for an AOSP based product.
We're in agreement about most of that. Except that I don't think that public schools are opting out so much as being forced out because charter schools are taking the funding and the easy students away and leaving them only with the difficult ones--many of whom also need a faster pace.

That was me. I wasn't bored in school because I occupied with other things like how to steal the projector (not that I needed one, but it was an adequately challenging target). It took some very patient and clever public school teachers to refocus that energy in an academic direction. The charter school solution would've been to make me someone else's problem.
I'm not worried about anyone "pushing" it. I'm worried about groups being put at the back of the line for other forms of care because the decision makers know that "worst case" more of them will off themselves and find that to be a fine outcome.
There was a more egregoius one which got Linus further pissed off with GCC, which was due to a 'dereference' that would not trap, but still deleted a later null check (because e.g. int *foo = &bar->baz is basically just calculating an offset to bar, and so will not fail at runtime, but it is still a dereference according to the abstract machine and so is undefined if bar is NULL). I think the risk of something like that is why it's still disabled.
Yes. Beamforming for the receiver, tho, is highly beneficial. MIMO does that for you. The previous poster is correct, the EIRP must not increase when antenna gain does; you have to turn down the wick on the TX.

I want something a little related to this. I want a little auto assist tool in Blender so I can hit a keyboard shortcut, circle something, and say "extrude a square right around this area" or "close this mesh" or "make this shell a solid object." Stuff that an experienced Blender artist knows exactly how to do but might require some thinking. In other words, coding auto-assist for Blender user. Bonus points if it shows the steps.

Is that a thing?

I support assisted suicide for people who are not capable of doing it without assistance (because dying moments of many people are really not pretty, as many stories in this thread attest to), but I think that the cases of medical and legal industries killing physically healthy young people due to mental issues are sick and wrong.

Physically healthy and young people do not need assistance in committing suicide if they actually want to do it. When they request it, what they are actually asking for is for “experts” and “professionals” to make the decision for them. They want the system to give them a stamp of approval, so that they don’t have to take responsibility.
This x100, I wrote a similar message on a WebXR forum. They've started and stopped so many times it's hard to take this effort seriously. Is this just exec FOMO trying to catchup to Apple and Meta? Or do they really believe in this? I don't think it's the latter.
From the Wikipedia page on Chess960:

> Hence, on average, a Chess960 starting position is actually 18.2% more balanced than the standard starting position.

I'm also interested in the underlying distribution (not just the average). For each of the 960 starting positions, what is known about the first-player advantage? (I'm pretty sure these would just be estimates because a full solution is still infeasible.)

This happens with transgender individuals looking to start hrt stuck in a basically the same catch-22.

Because while there are reasonable and empathetic folks there's faction who is pushing these laws as a means of soft-outlawing the treatment all together.

How is this even possibly a valid software pattern to enable on normal users?

Regularly capturing screenshots of their entire desktop, that 90% of users likely do not comprehend, and obviously associate with malware behavior. Screenshots. They're not even capturing the forms, or the specific input data. Taking entire desktop pictures of typing on Notepad.

Using a software that's difficult to tell whether it's installed. And then it keeps the credentials, makes it difficult to tell whether they've been stored, what info has been stored, whether they've been deleted correctly, and makes it difficult for the actual computer user to even access the stored images.

The screenshots appear to be files in a subfolder called AsymStore.
I couldn’t open those either and I tried to open them as PNGs, BMPs or JPGs.
Perhaps hackers will figure out how to open these files, but as far as I could tell, a typical user can’t open them outside of the Recall app.

As I mentioned in another comment, police departments have been using drones for around 10 years. That's not to mention all the other professional and amateur use. I personally know at least a handful of people who regularly fly theirs. Most major metro areas are going to have drones flying all over the place. So what I'm saying is...why is this interesting?
You can learn the 2>&1 thing, but it would be nice if there was a feature of one of the greps to "slurp up" the error output.

Of course, the real problem is there's no standard, the standards that do exist are ignored, and each new command-line tool generates a new standard.

I also dislike how the titles on hacker news are so short that often they dont give enough information. e.g. headline: "Amazon Penterhorse". What is that?? that doesn't exist but the point is I have to click through to see it and its annoying. And on some posts when I click on some links the person's blog post is just way longer than my interest level so it doesn't get the point across. These summaries are just the right length.
Amen. I want the option to leave gracefully and in peace, if a time comes where I cannot perform my basic needs by myself. I never chose when and how I would be brought into this world, so I think it's fair that I can choose when and how to leave.

Will I actually do it? That's irrelevant. I may decide to live and fight as much as possible, and that's fine, but I want the option.

I'm not apologizing for MS, and I have no idea what PII protection Recall actually has. If Recall does have real PII logic, it should recognize that a legitimate VISA payment card numbers must start with '4' + be 16 digits in length, and AmEx cards must start with '34' or '37' + be 15 digits in length; also, the LUHN algorithm must be satisfied over the card digits.

With Recall, it seems false positives for PII-type protection rules would be more acceptable than false negatives. But with the negative press already around the technology. I'm not sure it will ever gain acceptance.

This is true in health insurance but not true in life insurance. Life insurance policies pay out at time of death with certain exclusions. Common exclusions are death by: suicide, killed while committing crime, killed by policy holder beneficiary.

Therefore, the longer one lives, the benefit accrues to the insurance co, because the more premium policy holder pays to LifeInsuranceCo (LIC), LIC has more time to earn interest/investment profits from those premiums, and the cheaper the payout from LIC to policy holder beneficiary, because of inflation and since most payout amounts (eg $1M) are fixed at time of policy issuance.

I’m guessing that it’s just a much harder problem. Images often contain more information but it is far less structured and refined than language.

The transformation process that occurs when people speak and write is incredibly rich and complex. Compared to images which are essentially just the outputs of cameras or screen captures — there isn’t an “intelligent” transformation process occurring.
