> A type of gemstone called spinel can be used to store quantum information, according to new research from a collaboration involving University of Chicago, Tohoku University, and Argonne National Laboratory.
No it's not. Claiming heat from a fridge would be like grabbing a cup of water for a minute a few times a day. The extra shit that needs to be manufactured and transported is surely not worth the effort at all.
Basically rich, powerful people feel empowered to use the legal system as a cudgel. Our new president has shown this approach works- as he has extracted multi million dollar settlements from Facebook and abc for hurting his feelings.

I’ve had this done to me by a spiteful neighbor. It’s a terrible place to be, as defending yourself - even against a totally baseless lawsuit - can easily bankrupt an individual. Businesses find its cheaper to pay off than fight, as they are only focused on the bottom line (see for example the success of patent trolls, until brave individuals like Lee Cheng fought back, regardless of the cost)
Got a link to that device? Also, does that break any AT&T terms of service? I don't want them to cancel my account.
Author here! Just wanted to say that this is indeed in a good place to share, some very useful stuff, but is also very work in progress. I'm may 60% or so to my first draft. Said progress is coming every day and I happily welcome fixes or suggestions on GitHub.

The partisan stuff doesn't interest me. Various sources will cook numbers differently. One trick is to include entitlements or exclude them from the debt. Rate of increase vs. debt in real terms offers another stunt mode. COVID spending is yet another area for partisan squabbling. When it suits the agenda, partisans will claim, "But congress has the final word on spending". You can even find that in this thread.

The rate of increase in debt has been increasing consistently. Even with Clinton's so called balanced budget, the total amount of debt has increased over the long term.

If Trump were not taking this radical approach in his first weeks, I would assume that his talk about cuts were empty campaign promises. Even with these actions, I'm cautiously optimistic at best.

I'm not a die hard Trump supporter or enthusiastic about any politician. Generally I dislike politicians and the political classes. It wouldn't be a terribly inaccurate to generalize by calling them all looters. These cuts make it possible to consider hope.
The US Congress uses Windows. The basename is the Bill ID.

The capture of all thought by IBM at these palaces was nuts.

Circa 2002 I’m a Unix admin at a government agency. Unix is a nascent platform previously only used for terminal services. Mostly AIX and HPUX, with some Digital stuff as well. I created a ruckus when I installed OpenSSH on a server (Telnet was standard). The IBM CE/spy ratted me out to the division director, who summoned me for an ass chewing.

He turned out to be a good guy and listened to and ultimately agreed with my concerns. (He was surprised, as mainframe Telnet has encryption) Except one. “Son, we don’t use freeware around here. We’ll buy an SSH solution for your team. Sit tight.”

I figured they’d buy the SSH Communications software. Turned out we got IBMSSH, for the low price of $950/cpu for a shared source license.

I go about getting the bits and install the software… and the CLI is very familiar. I grab the source tarball and it turns out this product I never heard of was developed by substituting the word “Open” with “IBM”. To the point that the man page had a sentence that read “IBM a connection”.

Probably because suing X for not allowing a company to advertise on their platform would be fully meritless and have no basis in the law.
This is because the USDS was given broad executive authority by Congress during the Obama era as part of the healthcare.gov rollout.

To give DOGE actual teeth, they used this loophole to convert the USDS into DOGE.

Hats off to their lawyer, but also shows how executive authority has really overreached in the 2000s.
If this was an order from the President as an official act, no scrutiny can be applied here in any court (broad immunity recently granted by the SCOTUS: absolute immunity for actions within his core constitutional powers and presumptive immunity for other official acts)... so good luck proving any wrongdoing without any evidence...

If you go after any of the underlings who executed such order, they are likely getting auto-pardonned by Trump if he gave the order (otherwise it will make it harder to find people to execute his "illegal" orders next). There is no such thing as illegal for this administration. Wake up.
I took a quick spin through the site and didn't find it. Perhaps it was posted on some social media site.
An Open Letter to Hobbyists (1976) [pdf]
Eh, I don't think the "it's all based on Paul" can be a reasonable argument at all. Even when people do argue it, they only ever allege the same 2 points, which even assuming those points are valid would only be a tiny fraction of Christian belief, both theoretically and practically; you don't need theology for this. Of course, to those whose sole exposure to Χianity is Internet arguments this might not be obvious.

The whole focus on "Trinity" is weird but makes a little more sense if you realize it was originally developed to stand against certain heresies, but later mutated (often re-entering those same heresies again). This one is indeed theological ... or perhaps we need a word that is to theology as historiography is to history.

But this is diverging quite far from this thread.
There are also Vulkan backends included in most all-in-one LLM runners for a while; can be useful for cards not supported by ROCm.

It's less that and more things that work in C# will not work in F#, and the community doesn't have enough support for it. If you use .NET for its tooling, you lose some of that with F# and wonder if you should just use a different ML language.

Want Entity Framework on F#? Code generation is broken past .NET 6. Huge pain in the ass to fix. Using Dapper is fine, but EF is nice for more than avoiding SQL.

Want Swagger support on Giraffe? They're rethinking the whole structure just to imagine how that would work.

It's very much a separate world unless you use a lot of C# directly, and that kinda defeats the point.
He's an id loosely covered with skin. By now it's not necessary to stop and wonder if something like this makes legal or moral sense.
My current residential price is $65/mo for 500mbps/20mbps. Business is $120/mo for 500mbps/200mbps ($105 for first 24 months). I wouldn't mind getting a bit more sweet sweet upload. Maybe I will!

There is also "gigabit pro"/"gigabit x10" where they run fiber to your house. That is $350/month for symmetric 10gbps. Lots of limitations on availability and a big install fee, though. Gotta get the other half on board with that ;-)
And what legal basis does X have in their suit against former advertisers?

Also the current president did successfully extract a settlement from meta for kicking him off their platform for what meta considered at the time violations of their ToS. Not sure what the legal basis was there either.
> Also, it bears mentioning that Curtis Yarvin is a Jew and calling him a fascist has another layer of incredulity attached.

Formally he is not a Jew since his mother is not a Jew but I don't understand what is the point of connecting his ancestors to his ideology.
A US invasion of Canada would be militarily successful but result in absolute nightmare chaos. There would be a global move away from US trade, financial, and military cooperation; you'd see tons of rearmament and new nuclear weapons states; the US military would lose its logistical network as countries kicked out bases; the global economy would crash; there'd be a supply chain fire worse than 2021-2 as trade shut down; financial systems would get set on fire as the dollar lost reserve currency status and on and on and on.
Inspector Generals are there to try to stop waste, fraud, and abuse. They aren't there to try to enforce competence.
Total BS. We do not have a top down dictatorial system. We do not want a dictator in this country. We have departments that follow relevant policies and laws, and a President that executes on those laws/policies. Again, the President doesn't dictate what people do, the President insures that the executive branch executes our nation's laws. Totally different. This is basic high school civics stuff.

We are ANTI dictators in this great nation, even if sometimes that is politically inconvenient for change that we would like to come quicker.

Edit: Example, as of earlier today there was still no documentation on the new tariffs that will be applied on supposedly 40%+ of goods brought into this country starting in 2 days. This week the press secretary had to clarify which programs were shutdown, what funding was shutdown by executive order and contradicted the previously sent clarifying memo, which was then retracted. These are LITERAL dictates coming down, not sane, understandable, with reason behind them policies.
Fascism is when you enforce your country's immigration laws it seems for most people.

That's a good point. I had in mind that there's some regret about the combination of type inference with type-based overloads, due to the search expense it adds to what ought to be straightforward parsing of long expressions.
Very good point. I am convinced the only variation of capitalism that can survive the future is a drastic change to always favouring underdog participants somehow. Specific skewing of rules to help new small businesses, personal choice tending toward local and smaller, government intervention against too big and subsidy for too small and just starting.

(specifically not helping a failing dying business though) but of course all impossible, because would require social credit system that wasn't abused for evil, which is all that human coercion hierarchies know
The specific technique here is unihemispherical sleep. Stimulating one side of the body while resting the other (one eye closed) to get one hemisphere to fall asleep. I think Gwen originally developed this trick to probe the mind and see if behavior was altered when one hemisphere was asleep versus the other.

However, it turns out that when you do this, the brain as a whole does not get adequate sleep, even if you alternate hemispheres. People had symptoms of sleep deprivation while still being semi-functional. Ziz took if a step further and had some sort of secret initiation process where both hemispheres were trained differently to produce multiple personalities. At least that was the assumption from those of us on the outside gathering scraps of info being dropped.

Get you 8 hours of sleep everyone. Sleep is important.
The fact that some people are abusing the justice system for their own purposes doesn't suggest to me that everybody should start doing it.
Certain C optimizations are difficult to implement due to pointers. But that doesn't make pointers themselves complicated.

Most of the C community agrees that strict aliasing assumptions are more trouble than they are worth.
This is the one thing blockchains are truly good for.
I enjoyed the show a lot. I think it sparks an interesting discussion. I was surprised to see Ben Stiller was the director, but I think he's doing a steller job. I am fine with the pace of the show being slow and the story is more compelling because of it IMO
Georgetown Law and Cass Sunstein laying out the different views and complexity of the issue, or a partisan youtuber offering, "Trump Broke the Government AND THEN CHANGED HIS MIND (And Then Changed His Mind AGAIN)"
My theory about the more widespread use of subtitles when watching modern film and TV productions is that it is in large part due to screenwriters trying to write (and directors to direct) more realistic dialogue. Just by itself, everything else equal, realistic speech is necessarily harder to grok than “played out” theatrical. In real life people who can hear generally benefit from drastically higher fidelity and wider dynamic range of sound, as well as many more cues and context compared to a linear film (plus the ability to ask someone to repeat). This clashes with screenwriters having to[0] put crucial information in the dialogue, the rule of only saying something once, and other writing and production practices (which also exist for a reason). Realistic dialogue that is easy to grok requires cooperation from many sides.

That said, technical aspects matter, recording practices, mastering for loudness with little dynamic range (so that compressed voice blends with foley and the rest), and indeed encoding can definitely affect the ease of understanding human speech. Speaking of encoding… I couldn’t find it on the site, is Streamliner a one-time purchase?

[0] Well, not every film has to (Upstream Color comes to mind, as an example of a film with relatively little plot-advancing dialogue), but it seems that the majority of productions rely on dialogue and it isn’t going away.
The whole entire internet is broken.

Specifically what I mean is HTML is flawed. It should never have been a presentation format. It should've always been a DATA format, like JSON, or XML, from day one. The browser itself would then be able to display information (pages) in whatever style, colors, and format it wants.

Probably 99.999% of developers agree with this, but we're stuck in a RUT it seems. I know what I'm sort of talking about is the "Semantic Web", and I'm probably preaching to the choir to bring it up on Hacker News.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to change? What would it take? We'd need some major movement, almost like Web3, or Blockchains, that got everyone to wake up and realize there's an easier way. We're stuck because there's no real incentive for change. It's a chicken and egg problem. No one is gonna be first to design something, unless everyone else is already using it. :( Thanks for listening. That was step one I guess.
When it first aired, people definitely did that on the internet.

I'm of a firm opinion that there are two very different kinds of Lost viewers -- ones who care about the characters first and plot second vs ones who only care about the plot.

Personally, I took it as 'We're getting to see these things through these characters' eyes and how they react.' And we probably wouldn't have given a shit about the plot, if we hadn't actually cared about the characters first.

Lost did characterization very well. (Helped by an insanely talented cast!)
How do you know you've gotten away with it? That takes the rest of your life. (Well, statute of limitations.)
Not familiar with all the other shows mentioned, but strong upvote for Andor. Possibly the best Star Wars anything. It's a shame that people might not give it full credit for the drama it is because of the Star Wars association.
I will always have a soft spot for that iconic bottle design. I only wish they had the little dip in their smaller 15ml bottles too.
Alternative take: those services have a smaller selection, use annoying algorithms to promote IP they own, and are generally worse that piracy, but people don't like being hassled by their ISP and initially they cost a similar amount to a VPN.
Are there any modern Intel systems that can boot without blobs like the FSP? Even system76 hasn't been able to manage that, only disable the ME after boot.

I suspect you're greatly misunderstanding your clients' needs, because what you're saying is not an officially supported option that exists for anyone outside government agencies.
Yeah, I think there are definitely parts of the language design / language features that are going to contribute, but when you need to parse to IR and then compile that to machine code, it seems any features you add that are nice for the developer are going to doubly hurt compile times. You see the same with ARC in swift (or the borrow checker in Rust).
"Things" are not getting harder every year; if you only see negative things in the world, this is a sign you have depression more than anything.
Why the past tense, it is still common in most consulting projects of medium to large corporations.
You also seem to think the President is a dictator that can dictate what people do and they are required to follow those dictates up to an until the courts come back. We do not have a top down dictatorial system of government.

This is basic high school US civics 101 on how our government functions.
It’s interesting how these “both sides are bad” convos degrade into one side saying: “he clearly broke the law literally written specifically for him” and the other side trying to invoke some incredibly vague “whatever you call the last 8 years” imagery.
They don't embrace Open Source, that's the problem. I don't even have to invoke the Halloween Documents to erode faith in FAANG as an Open Source steward, half this thread retched at the idea of using Swift out of principle.

Apple is welcome to head down the same road they're going if they think it's working out for Swift. Developers aren't going to magically warm to it any more than they trusted C# unless Apple makes some unprecedented change in their attitude towards Open Source. The world doesn't owe them shit.

PAFACA, enacted April 2024, bans all apps operated by ByteDance.

Anyway, I'm sure if DeepSeek was sold to a US company that'd be fine, too!
Sure, if you turn off the sound. Maybe a lowpass filter would do.

I guess dads with NES nostalgia have lost their high-pitched hearing anyway.
Ah, that’s different then. I am sympathetic to your viewpoint but unfortunately it seems that we no longer are playing on a level field.
Your response that people 'not believe their lying eyes' was better than this attempt at humor.
majority of voters have made an ultimate choice. everything has to serve the choice. if you pay tax but don't or can't vote, sorry, it's your own problem.
Damned being a social media platform living of people’s desire to gossip.
So I completed it. Did I do well? No metric? Confused.
It's an interesting idea, but I don't see a feasible use for it on Earth, probably be quite handy for returning bulk materials to Earth from a hypothetical moon base. Unfortunately Earth's atmosphere makes most surface base accelerators to space impractical.

A many kilometers long linear accelerator that ramps off a suitable mountain could make for a interesting 1st stage that wouldn't subject the payload to ridiculous G forces. But you'd still need to accelerate the payload and 2nd stage and with SpaceX and co driving down 1st stage costs I still don't see it as cost effective.
Oh damn I will definitely look into open sourcing it and making it a sdk
> He's taking a cocktail of drugs that gets prescribed via telemedicine and was telling us about the serious side effects he was suffering: one of these drugs, spironolactone, is primarily a drug that alters your mineral metabolism but has the effect of suppressing testosterone if you take 20x the normal dose. (My doc gives it to me for my blood pressure.) He has insatiable cravings for salt as a result.

It's worth noting that while Spironolactone can be used to suppress testosterone, that's not really what it's used for. Rather it weakly blocks androgen receptors so it makes the body act like the testosterone isn't there or is lower than it actually is. And this is effective at a far lower dose than the testosterone "suppression".

This is why it's sometimes prescribed to women for hair loss, improper hair growth, and/or acne.

It's for that purpose that it's normally prescribed in trans healthcare and it's generally only temporarily (~3-9 months) prescribed while an estradiol regimen suppresses testosterone production. After that it can be dropped with the estradiol doing the rest of the work.

And outside the US it's far less commonly prescribed for this purpose with other androgen antagonists generally being preferred but US doctors tend to be more weary of those other medications and therefore prefer spironolactone.

So while said kid may be a bit "weird" in your eyes, nothing about this really seems unusual. At worst they probably just need to ask their doctor to prescribe a different androgen antagonist instead of spironolactone.
> but that anyone can broadcast their favored view of facts

Some blame, if not a majority, belongs on whoever actually hears those views and facts though. Knowing someone's intent is extremely hard, it really shouldn't matter whether they intend to mislead or believe what they are saying. Just because someone shares what they may honestly believe to be a fact doesn't mean we have to take it as fact.

We lack critical thinking and somehow landed in a spot where we're highly skeptical of anyone in charge but completely believe what a random person writes online. It honestly doesn't matter what facts are being shared or whether they are accurate, without critical thinking and the ability to discern for ourselves how could this ever play out well?
And the future of the US and Tesla is two of them according to who exactly?

I don't think it's likely to happen but that is what I also said about a tariff trade war with Canada until recently. The actions here aren't rationale.
The Post Millennial is a right-wing rag from an anticommunist sex cult and any assertion by Ngo should be discarded out of hand.
> If someone shoplifts in front of me, I can't say that person "broke the law"?

You can say they did, but it doesn’t mean anything until it’s determined. People make accusations all of the time. Many are wrong.
This is why so many of us spent so much time trying to convince our friends and family that Trump 2.0 is dangerous and will shatter the current world order. I am sorry to all of our allies who are going to be hurt by this.
