AI-generated porn feed. Photo-realistic, high-quality images. It would change what is generated based on my tastes either through me liking or disliking certain content, my engagement on particular content, contracts, others, or by specifying what my desires directly through some sort of prompt.

I want this software to produce an infinite scroll of content that is tailored towards my tastes, with the algorithm constantly trying to refine the feed by suggesting new things and observing my reaction. It should be available offline running on my own hardware if I choose to do it that way but also available as a paid-for service.

I should be able to favorite and save certain content and share it with other users of the software easily.

I’m sure there are many tricks you could do with this such as caching content in advance to view as to not overload machines at view time or for people with similar interests to share content, though these are all implementation details.

This actually appeals to everyone. There are words and people can read them. It literally just works. With zero friction. This is peak engineering. It's how the web is supposed to work. It is objectively better. For everyone. Everyone except advertisers.

The only problem to be solved here is the fact advertisers are the ones paying the people who make web pages. They're the ones distorting the web into engagement maximizing content consumption platforms like television.
This is cool. Please make it so its not just for news and developer friendly so it can print any content on demand using api. Tried to use a "memobird" printer for similar purpose but couldn't get any support for their API.

This article https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7836551/ has good explanation about furin cleavage site. Basically, it just fragment of genetic code, which allows virus to fuse with human cells much more easily.

It more interesting HOW this fragment get there. Recombination with an other virus is ruled out, so only 3 options are left: 1) virus evolved in an animal (none found), 2) virus evolved in a human (none found), 3) virus created in a lab (paper exists with exact instruction how to do it).

Yes, third link is not correct. It just catches my attention, because if Russians did it (accidentally or not) then general Kirilov must be responsible for it, so the link between Kellog (Trump) and Kirilov (Putin) surprised me.

most countries want to feel respected and included in the world. They don't just want you to take their resources and leave them in the dust. Even if the thought is " hey we'll fix your stuff in return then so be it". U.S. lets you know that the moment you don't go as planned and disagree with their view then bye bye to all of he efforts your country put in and momentum. Lets not forget economical momentum is just the thing a less developed country needs. One strategy doesn't work for all. This is clear from whats happening right now before us. Brics initiative, Brics plus and so on. you literally have the worlds biggest countries aligned for a parallel agenda. Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa and even more are joining like turkey and some European countries. This is not small matter to overlook and be arrogant about.
Does this not speaks to the rapid growth of Central Europe economies rather than a decline of Japan? I have read similar comparisons for both the U.K. and Germany vs Poland.

I said in my earlier post that I hadn't seen a fully ROM-based PC but I completely forgot about stuff like the HP and Psion and Atari PC handhelds!

In that vein, I've got an old V20-based NEC laptop (the PC-17-02[0], arguably an Ultrabook in its day) that booted MS-DOS 3.3 from ROM. It had a 2MB battery-backed RAM disk that the ROM got copied into. It showed up as a hard disk drive with an INT 13H-style interface.

32 bit gave you that much with PAE, which has its own set of unfortunate problems.

I still think it's pretty safe to say 64 bit is the future, and will be for a long time (if I live long enough for 128 bit processors to become defacto or even widely necessary I'll be truly shocked).

Re submission of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42498906, as the prior post was unclear of purpose. Spiffed up, clarified, spit-shined :)
X was originally an MIT development, and had no intrinsic ties to the underlying hardware (Sun implemented something called NeWS which ended up losing to X in the long run). Different vendors took the reference code and added device specific code to work, but this was an era where your hardware vendor was also your OS vendor so that was fairly transparent for most users. At this point almost every CPU architecture had their own expansion bus so there wasn't really any way you could plug a card intended for one machine into another. The vendor X server worked just fine.

And then PCI became ubiquitous and it was much cheaper to plug a PC card into a machine than buy an overpriced one from Sun or DEC or whatever, and people were starting to run Linux or *BSD instead of the vendor OS, and suddenly there was an incentive to be able to run graphics card x86 init code even on other CPU architectures.

I ended up stealing the concept and the code to make Ubuntu's usplash boot splash app work on 64-bit, which is an entirely different story.

On 32 bit you can of course make the kernel higher half, but yes AFAIK most mainstream kernels chose higher quarter to grant more vaddr space to processes.
Correct, but I'm extremely skeptical, and that sentence had my bullshit detector alarms screaming even louder:

> “We have a minimum viable product that’s already being used in clinical trials, and while there’s more work to be done, we’re much closer to a full marketable device,” Shaker said.

Absolutely no information about what this "clinical trial" entails, or what phase it was. Most importantly, to get an initial assessment of the accuracy of the device, no clinical trials are necessary - you simply need to do a test that compares the blood sugar reading from the device against the current gold standard, most likely first in some animal model.

If their device was really as far along as the title and quotes are implying, they would be showered with so much money it would make the Theranos peak valuation look small. The only evidence they've provided (which, again, I'm not saying is insignificant) is that the "metasurface" they have developed enhances the resolution and sensitivity of a radar system against a beaker of water.
Remarkable work! I was part of a team in 2014-2016 that tried using silicon micro needles layered with polymers in order to filter the interstitial fluid's glucose. Unfortunately it was difficult to calibrate for all the variables. We could have two sensors from the same silicon wager on the same person at the same time and get two different readings.

Hats off to these researchers, who went a different direction.

Better health really can start with glucose monitoring for everyone. Because we could all learn about sugar's effect on our bodies.
Interestingly, her first task at NeXT was writing the user manual for WriteNow for Macintosh (apparently in WriteNow, and certainly on a Macintosh).

For folks who aren't familiar w/ it, it was contracted for by Apple as a hedge against MacWrite not making it and as an "advanced MacWrite" --- ~100,000 lines of assembly language, it was blazingly fast, yet still had quite nice features and was _very_ capable (my wife wrote her Master's Thesis in it) which I then had to coax out of HP LaserJet (IV I think --- the first 600 dpi one).
They seem to be using radio waves instead of optical? Do radio waves penetrate the body or do they hypothesize that there will be changes on the surface of the skin due to blood sugar/pressure?

Inspired by the work out there that reverse engineers game engines, I've always wanted to try my hand at reverse engineering to contribute to the world of game preservation.

Is it actually legal to decompile a game engine from executables/dll files, write new sources by making sense of the output and rewriting it such that it can be compiled targeting modern APIs?

I feel like that must be illegal

If you're feeling sick in a building, you can't leave out mentioning mold. Mold will really destroy you.

Also ozone machines, when used properly and safely (no occupants), can sometimes help to speed up the offgassing process. If you're interested in doing this, please read up on it so you don't do it wrong or dangerously. It can also in some cases cause new, worse VOC's to form, so...user beware.

CGMs themselves are still inaccurate compared to needles. And even needle based meters have a lot of different levels of accuracy. A CGM, even once calibrated, may be off by as much as 10%.

This makes me think of a few follow-up questions:

- Since we know that fusion happens to damaged jellies, do they remain permanently fused? Or do they eventually grow back the missing parts and split up again?

- If they do split up again, do both individuals wait for the other one to completely heal before splitting? If one side started off less damaged and healed faster, can it abandon/reject the other side without waiting for the other side to completely heal?
If anyone thinks they can be educated into polymathy they've already lost.

Be interested enough in many things and spend 5+ cumulative years working on each of those things.
A lot depends on the context.

I was/am on a team that underperforms, so they are already primed to blame someone. They have already fired people (poorly) over the failures.

So they are looking for someone to blame already.
Inconel looks just like that after exposure to heat, and is much more likely to have been used to build an aerospace vehicle than carbon steel. Most jet aircraft exhaust systems are made of Inconel and oxidize to a dull brown at 1200F or so. Like on this 737NG:

https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/90974/what-are-...

The exhausts that turn iridescent purple for a while due to heat are titanium, for example this 787. So I would suspect the debris is not titanium based on lack of heat marking.

https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/b77f5x/b787_its_s...

So if I were to guess what kind of metal it was solely based on coloration and suspected use case, I’d say Inconel.

But I wouldn’t make a guess at all, because it’s naive to assume that you can identify a type of metal based on a grainy freeze-frame of a cell phone video that has been re-encoded an unknown number of times before publication.
Surely you can say your manager had nothing concerning to report, list the specific examples as "none" or "N/A" and quantify it as 0% negative impact, no?

adafruit used to sell a little pi powered thermal printer[1] but I always found the case a little fiddly and fragile. And my office mate didn’t care for the thing coming on at random times.

Any actual, real-world implementation of such a thing would 1) not be privacy preserving (except in the "we pinky promise we're not going to use this data!" kind of deal), and 2) would inevitably expand the definition of "unhealthy lifestyle" over time as a way to exclude undesirables from the system and thereby leave more resources for those who remain.

I don't understand those that argue this point. What are the facts you have and evidence that U.S. has the capabilities to match growth that of China.

They're really not. They are only entitled to "stabilizing care".

I work as a paramedic. We have had situations with "frequent fliers" where when we've called the hospital to give a report as we are transporting, the hospital will say "let us know when you're here", and when we've done so, there's literally been a physician come out to the ambulance.

"Hey, X, what's happening?"

"I got a lot of fluid in my gut (he had ascites)."

"Okay, well, that's not new, and it looks like you have an appointment for having that fluid drawn in two days."

"Oh, okay."

"Anything else bothering you?"

"Nope."

"Alright, we're good then." Gives us a nod.

"We're going in then?"

"Uh, no. You have been by a physician, you're stable, you're good to go, you can jump off their gurney and head home now."

Which is harsh - but also this person at this point was being transported 4+ times _per day_.

But EMTALA only requires acute stabilizing care, not definitive management.

FWIW mobile and desktop aren't even the only distinct "UI environments". Steam's had a "big picture mode" aka "tenfoot mode" for a long time which is designed for media center PCs (same hardware, but you're sitting on the other side of the room, ten feet away, so everything had better be big) and of course there are things like VR.

Notably, the way Steam implements its tenfoot experience is an entirely separate UI instead of a single jack-of-all-trades UI. I've never used it since I don't have that type of setup so I can't say how well it works for people accustomed to the desktop UI.

It does seem that as annoying as it might be to get used to a new UI for mobile and desktop, using the same UI for both is even worse.

Again we see this theme, as in other parts of software engineering, that people try to hard to invent abstractions instead of just grinding out the work (a separate design for each platform).

I am usually the first old man to yell at any cloud, and I was overjoyed when someone invented the word "enshittening" for me to describe how the internet has gotten, but it surprised me a bit that people found that one annoying. I can see the problem of it sticking the top of the page with a logo (which is basically an ad and I hate those), but they usually have a menu there, so I always thought of them a bit like the toolbar at the top of an application window in a native desktop application. FWIW when I've built those, I've always de-emphasized the branding and focused on making the menus obvious and accessible.

I'm happy to learn something new about other people's preferences, though. If people prefer scrolling to the top, so be it!

EDIT: It occurs to me that this could be a preference setting. A few of the websites that have let me have my way, I've started generating CSS from a Django template and adding configuration options to let users set variables like colors--with really positive feedback from disabled users. At a fundamental level, I think the solution to accessibility is often configurability, because people with different disabilities often need different, mutually incompatible accommodations.

I've had this same idea since I also own a thermal printer, but I could never get past the wastefulness of printing a piece of paper that I would then immediately throw away after reading, so I never implemented it. I still think about it periodically: there is something oddly alluring about finding a small piece of paper made specifically for me whenever I go to the kitchen in the morning. E-ink just doesn't quite feel the same.
Compilers were stupid, and that's how we ended up with this constant overhead of inefficiency long after they could've done better; it's only within the last decade or so that "custom calling conventions" started being even considered.

Piracy is very cool. It allows people left out on the price-consumption curve to enjoy what everyone else is enjoying. Usually children, students, and people living in third world countries with low incomes or bad exchange rates. I pirated tons of software when I was younger, you probably couldn't price software cheap enough that I would (or could) actually buy it. Now it simply isn't worth my time to pirate.

I still pirate roms and games that aren't sold though :)
