I'm using an Apple TV (device) to stream Apple TV (the streaming service.) Streaming quality is great, so agree on that. It is the bugginess of the app.

For example, with the Apple TV native remote, the silly touchpad is super clunky, painfully lacking the exponential fast forwarding i'm so used to with better services. The experience with the Samsung remote is very buggy. For example, when the "Dismiss" or "Skip" button shows up, the focus isnt the button, so you press it and the show stops and goes back to the main screen.

The buttons dont properly highlight when scrolling, the difference is so subtle it is hard to know what you are selecting (or not)

With the remote, it is easy to over or underscroll because of the sensitivity of the touchpad.
Just because IBM does something doesn't mean it's useful to anyone outside IBM.
> it is not difficult to write very nice, readable, efficient, and safe C++ code

That's a fine case of Stockholm Syndrome you've got there. In reality, it is hard. The language fights you every step of the way. That's because the point in the design space C++ occupies is a uniquely stupid one. It wants to have it's cake and eat it too. The pipe-dream behind C++ is that you can write code in an expressive manner and magically have it also be performant. If you want fast code, you have to be explicit about many things. C++ ties itself in knots trying to be implicitly explicit about those things, and the result is just plain harder to reason about. If you want code that's safe and fast, you go with Rust. If you want code that's easy and fast, you go with Zig. If you want code that's easy and safe you go with some GCed lang. Then if you want code that's easy, safe, and fast, you pick C++ and get code which might be fast. You cannot have all three things. Many other langues find an appropriate balance of these three traits to be worthwhile, but C++ does not. It's been 40 years since the birth of C++ and they are only just now trying to figure out how to make it compile well.
Well then you won't get maintenance or support. People need to eat long-term, not just once.
Move away from big cities and high traffic areas in the meantime is my solution.

4. Is anything preventing NGOs from more efficiently taking up the slack?

5. Why is malaria important to you of all things?

6. Have you ever had to worry about contacting malaria?

You seem to be under the impression that this isn’t what the majority wants? You also have the owner of one social media company embedded in the White House and the other just paid tribute to Trump to “settle a lawsuit” as well as ABC, CNN and CBS bowing to him and paying him off to “settle a lawsuit”.

The opposition are a bunch of disorganized wimps that don’t know how to play dirty. They are still playing by the old rules.

No. If the value of the cache key is simply true/false then someone would first login to their own account using the long password. This would result in storing:

bcrypt(longpassword + 123456 + me@foobar.com) = bcrypt(longpassword) = hash1 -> true

If they then try login as you@bar.com using same password there would be a cache lookup:

bcrypt(longpassword + 1111111 + you@bar.com) = bcrypt(longpassword) = hash1 -> true
> Most of these federal jobs either marginally improve millions of lives or are completely critical for 10k Americans.

Firstly, are you basing this assertion on any sort of reality, or are you just 'sus' about it?

Secondly, marginal improvements for millions of people in many different areas is nothing to scoff at - that is precisely what a government is supposed to do - and will add up to very significant improvements very quickly.
It's not wrong to stop and wonder why, but if you do, the answers are nearly always systemic, and cannot be solved at any single point by basically handicapping people to "make room".

I couldn't hear a problem with properly-encoded high-bitrate MP3 when my ears were much, much younger, and I still cannot do so today.

I can play an MP3 anywhere that music files are played. I still can't do that with FLAC.

I know that FLAC is perfect, and that MP3 is lossy, and that such lossy formats have generational loss in re-encodes.

But I can either manage multiple overlapping collections of digital music and a conversion system, or I can manage a single collection and skip a lot of that inconvenience.

I chose simplicity.
This is one of those headlines that smells like nonsense before even reading the article (doesn't mean it is nonsense, but the quantity advertised seems implausible).
This paper came up as a pre-print. You can't make the extrapolation that the headline is making - they're using gas chromatography to estimate quantities from 1-2mg samples, and then extrapolating to get to these scary sounding whole-organ estimates. If you look at the paper [1], you'll see that the microplastics in in situ samples are not discernible by light microscopy, and that there was a ~25% variation in within sample measurement of the GC [2], indicating a great deal of uncertainty in the precision of the fundamental measurement (the authors brush this off; see quote below).

Basically, you've got an extremely sensitive measurement system being used to make tiny measurements, and then they extrapolate these measurements by a huge factor to get to ug/g estimates. Further extrapolating (to the weight of an organ, say) when you know that there's 25% inter-sample variation, is just guaranteed to be nonsense.

[1] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03453-1

[2] "Both analytical laboratories (UNM and OSU) observed a ~25% within-sample coefficient of variation, which does not alter the conclusions regarding temporal trends or accumulation in brains relative to other tissues, given the magnitude of those effects."
> Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here.

Same here. Local eggs have gone up a bit, but it's mostly the cheap (caged) eggs from large producers that have shot up in price or are unavailable.

We eat plenty of eggs and haven't felt the effect of the "egg crisis". But then again, I buy local eggs and don't shop at Walmrt/Kroger/etc.

I spent most of college in the gym. I quickly hit my size limit. Strength seemed to improve slowly. Then I did a popular steroid cycle. Of course I got huge. 5 years later I did trenbolone so I got big AND strong.

But the relevant bit is 5 years after that, I tried 1/4 the dosage, plus only 15 minutes in the gym every day (1 set of 3-rep max of each of the major lifts). I got just as big, and was actually stronger than I had ever been thru the full dose cycles.

Outside of the gym, I regularly halve the dose of any prescriptions or suggested dose of recreational drugs. A friend even told me he saw a Buddhist monk take a tiny shot of liquor and sit and meditate on that single shot for hours.

And finally, if I may take a sad turn, my father got trigeminal neuralgia but he's largely avoided all drugs all his life, so the standard dose hits him way too hard.
Okay I've just tried VLC once again and it's almost useable - I can easily select all mp3's from local files and play them. It doesn't allow to copy them into VLCs library tho - so no playlists.

Edit: Just tried one more time and you can place files into VLC folder (using Files is a bit tedious tho) and they appear in VLC player. Yay.
that's because VC and billionaires know when a party is winning, and when the other party is unvotable for 10+ years.
From my other ridiculous comment, as I do entertain simulation theory in my understanding of God:

Reasoning as we know it could just be a mechanism to fill in gaps in obviously sparse data (we absolutely do not have all the data to render reality accurately, you are seeing an illusion). Go reason about it all you want.

The LLM doesn’t know anything. We determine what output is right, even if the LLM swears the output is right. We “reason” about it, I guess? Well in this case the whole “reasoning” process is to simply get an output that looks right, so what is reasoning in our case?

Let me just go one ridiculous level lower. If I measure every frame the Hubble telescope takes, and I measure with a simple ruler the distances between things, frame by frame, I can “reason” out some rules of the universe (planetary orbits). In this “reasoning” process, the very basic question of “well why, and who made this” immediately arises, so reasoning always leads to the fundamental question of God.

So, yeah. We reason to see God, because that’s all we’re seeing, everything else is an illusion. Reasoning is inextricably linked to God, so we have to be very open minded when we ask what is this machine doing.

Strategy is the big-picture plan, tactics are "in the moment" actions.

Then I'm not quite sure what benefit you expect to derive from it? Making e.g. QwQ-32 loop isn't hard - it often does it all by itself, even. But it doesn't translate to improvements on every iteration; it just goes in circles.

Honestly while this does work for some people, it doesn’t seem to work for everyone. I’ve tried this basically my entire life (am 27), and it’s never improved. If anything it feels like it’s gotten worse with age. I’m not sure if it’s just a different underlying cause, or it only works if you’re under a certain threshold of motion sickness sensitivity.

There are so many games I’ve played in 30-60 minute increments because they’re in my “make me motion sick but not immediately” bucket, and a lifetime of doing that hasn’t done anything to improve it.
I am betting my chips in dioxus. Looks like a very clean project although few critical parts missing.
I've used Rust quite a bit now and there are too many features. It can't claim to be tidy anymore. Sure it's a better situation than C++, but it is getting worse and unlikely to get better.
While .NET has the cross-platform-vm thing going, is not particularly suited to cross-platform rendering. The web is. And don't get me started on WPF.
To me, the spoon sounds scarier. But I don't think there's a right answer to how scary a new phenomenon should be made to sound. You want it to sound scarier, this thing we don't know much about? Won't that happen naturally since everybody's ready to be scared of news anyway? Is it being downplayed? Relative to what, hunches? The information should be presented dispassionately, but engagingly, and that is an impossible combination, so it what we'll actually get is always something with the wrong overtones.
I keep hearing this about other particles but have yet to hear a convincing explanation why not photons first.

All particles can be generated from photons, vacuum interactions given sufficient energy.

All particles disintegrate into photons given sufficient energy and interaction with the properties of the vacuum.

Ergo early in the big bang there could only be photons.

How specifically does this theory fail?

I understand how a very, very short time after the big bang there were material particles but I am asking what about before that time.

I suspect it is ingrained materialism less than physics. Interact a photon with a quantum fluctuations you get a quark. Normally quantum interactions self-quiet through interactions with antiparticles. Perhaps the reason why there is something rather than nothing is that a great part of the photons in the universe were there from the beginning of time. So you have original photons interacting with the vacuum to produce the material world we see today. Had there not been a surplus of photons the quantum fluctuation that gave rise to the universe would have in all probability self-anihilated in an instant.

I've seen and poked at a lot of the ORM-hating on here, and whenever I can get people to give specific examples instead of generic theory-level stuff, it's either not a problem in Django or Django has a fix you just need to learn about and use. The fixes have sometimes even been there for over a decade. It seems be leaps and bounds ahead of every other ORM out there.

FAA tech is the last thing I want Elon to meddle with. His ego is too big and he thinks he can fix everything.

My guess is that he'll send in his team of software engineers and they'll accomplish nothing but annoy FAA staff once they realize just how big of a problem it is. It's not just a software problem. It's a human/emotion problem too and I doubt his team of 22 year olds are equipped to accomplish anything.

Reddit leans very far left, so does Facebook and Instagram

Media in general is very left leaning. For example, Youtube, Disney, Netflix are the biggest online video content house, and they all lean heavily left. Even Max leans slightly left. There is no right leaning online content house. And all contents are moving to online.

The benefit of having a signature over a simple hash is that even if the code was tampered with, you would know it is not the same as what the author used. On the other hand, if it was a reproducible build, it could have still been tampered with somewhere and only the original developer could verify that you got the right code to start with.

Also, not everyone is equipped to build software. Signatures enable you to easily know that there was no MITM tampering (or at least, to assume much lower chances of it), with less overall trust required.

The problem now is that Congress will not impeach or convict him for breaking the law.
