This tracks with what is known about sudden neurologically-involved hearing loss. I have a condition where the inner ear is misformed and the cochlea is, in crude terms, prone to bruising. I've hit my head and gone completely deaf on one side before, and some of my hearing came back but not all of it.

This sort of injury, with the missing sensory input, triggers brain plasticity. A lot of relearning goes on very quickly. It took only a few days until voices stopped sounding like chipmunks because I could not hear the low frequencies. I still couldn't hear them but I was starting to associate the new inputs with my memories of how I remember speech sounding. If I knew the person the voice was strongly gendered as male or female - with new speakers I had trouble guessing their sex. I still do.

From what little is known about this, exposure to sound is crucial during this phase. And a lot of people find it highly distressing. I was gripping my hands like in a panic/stress reaction when out in public in noisy environments. It is, paradoxically considering the quasi-deafness, a kind of sensory overload. Sounds I couldn't identify, coming from the wrong direction, with human voices sounding like garbled squeaks. A common reaction is to withdraw. But this almost certainly prevents relearning during the crucial phase of plasticity. I wish I had forced myself to go to more restaurants etc. immediately after, in hindsight. I suspect it may have resulted in less tinnitus long-term if I had done so.

This is so little studied it surprised me how little is out there when I went researching on what the best conditions to expose myself to after. I kind of had to make up a protocol myself.

You hear Pearl Jam in that list the way you hear Nirvana, but I think that has more to do with the chronology and with REM's unofficial role as the bellwether/popularizer of alt radio (which I think is overblown) than any actual artistic influence. Whatever Liz Phair wants to say about Exile, her real influences (besides the Stones) are simply REM's influences.

I concede The Decemberists. Basically a band that blended the Athens Elephant 6 sound with 80s college rock. Sure: the Decemberists were more influenced by REM than by Patti Smith or the Velvets or Television.

Wilco is a weird one. I have a suspicion that Wilco, or at least Jay Bennett-era Wilco, is more influenced by mainstream early-90s alt rock than anybody is comfortable admitting. Heavy Metal Band is basically 1979 off Mellon Collie, which: what Chicago band is going to admit that influence?

Collective Soul, Better Than Ezra, Live: these are bands that kind of prove my point. The lead guy from Live once wrote Stipe a letter asking for advice on how to become a rock star.
Argentina has an economy that is strongly indexed on USD due to hyperinflation of the Peso and parallel exchanges everywhere ("cambio negro").

What Milei is doing: he's giving up on Argentinian Peso and adopting the USD as de-facto currency.

This is a political move, giving up national sovereignty in exchange of getting Argentina closer to the USA and away from Latin America. It's no coincidence Trump and Elon Musk are praising the Argentinian president.

In richer countries, essentially all insulin on the market uses recombinant insulin.

I don't think it's a minefield.

Ignoring all the other details, if someone waves the magic wand and makes it legal you can use it, when someone waves the magic wand and it's not legal, then the agreement is just void at that point. There's no retroactive consequences.
I don't know. But pretty much every burrowing animal has to decide when the RoI has gotten too low to keep digging.
Litigation is absolutely horrible. There is a reason they say "you can't fight city hall."

The gov will burn itself down to fight you in court. They generally don't like to settle because losing just means they may have to raise taxes or insurance premiums. No gov attorney is likely to actually lose their job because they fought too long or hard and lost.
The latter. He's trying to build an "Iraq has WMD" case for cutting SSA, by falsely claiming all the payments are fraudulent.
yeah, it's surprising none of these unions have done anything like that; you would think that it's the type of measures a union would take when a sizeable percentage of their members is fired for no reason
15.5 quarters is a long time. I think they’ll take advantage of this change and then deal with 2029 in 2029.
While we're on noise-cancelling headphones, this reminds me of a recent experience on a train (in the quiet carriage, of course) wearing my noise-cancelling headphones. There was a toddler crying and screaming loudly and the sound seemed to cut right through the headphones. I wonder if they're somehow tuned to not block certain sounds (Sony WH-1000XM4).

The PDFs this process creates use MRC (Mixed Raster Content), which separates each page into multiple layers: a black and white foreground layer for text/line art, a color background layer for images/colors, and a binary mask layer that controls how they're combined. This smart layering is why you can get such small file sizes while maintaining crisp text and reasonable image quality.

If you want purely black and white output (e.g. if the PDF has yellowing pages and/or not-quite-black text, but doesn't have many illustrations), you can extract just the monochrome foreground layer from each page and ignore the color layers entirely.

First, extract the images using mutool extract in.pdf

Then delete the sRGB images.

Then combine the remaining images with imagemagick command line: convert -negate *.png out.pdf

This gives you a clean black and white PDF without any of the color information or artifacts from the background layer.

Here's a script that does all that. It worked with two different PDFs from IA. I haven't tested it with other sources of MRC PDFs. The script depends on mutool and imagemagick.

No conflicts of interest there!
Not sure what experience OP has, but I’ve never been on a team of devs who were actually interested in doing anything beyond writing code. It’s typically like pulling teeth just to get them to accept a minuscule portion of responsibility for delivery.
I agree with you, but using the word corpo to describe a very old phenomenon of society does not add to your argument.
Production ready, 10 year old project. It's not new, it's older than Kubernetes even.
I've been using HSL for the last year or so but have definitely ran into the weird color modification issues the article mentions. I've always just dealt with it, but to reduce friction in something that has happened to me multiple times - consider me intrigued.

My only complaint for usability has nothing to do with oklch but at the time of writing it does not appear that vscode displays the colorblocks or selector for oklch, which just adds another tiny bit of a painpoint for me.

Either way, going to be using it in my current side project!

It's probably just the opposite causation: people sensitive to noise are more likely to spend £250 on noise-cancelling headphones.
Of course, the first order effect of less spending is not usually good, particulary for those receiving the money.

However, Argentina has runaway second order effects like inflation that must be dealt with, and we know that the only real way to deal with that is to depress the money supply. They will have to deal with the pain in order to repair the rest of the economy; it'll suck initially, but it'll improve outcomes everywhere else, and that should outweigh the effects of reduced government spending before too long.
They're not, it's just the physics of sound cancelation. Some frequencies, especially higher, irregular ones are harder to block, just because the microprocessor doesn't have enough time to react
Sure, let me summarize.

Your position:

>Your position:

>… t and 'protect' their audience from it. That IMO is anti free speech, as the 'protect' part of the term is abiguous/subjective and depends on the beliefs/opinions of the gatekeepers.

Your position ignores the rights given to firms to run their business, and the choice of their speech via citizens united.

Firms have a right to do what they please, as long as it is legal.

You dont like what firms do.

You want to make them behave a certain way. You are asking the government to force them to do so.

This kills free speech.

The position that you set up, is inherently in contradiction to the norms of reality. I am a policy person and understand the trade offs here intimately, which is leading to me playing fast and loose, resulting in confusion.

And yes - you matter to me. Why shouldn’t you? You seem intelligent, or if not, you value looking intelligent.

It would be interesting to see how you resolve the contradiction that your position throws up.

Confusing insane asylums and refugee asylum by way of talking about Hannibal Lecter points in a completely different direction than what you've stated.
Totally this. Acoustics in bars and restaurants has gone completely to shit. Even if they don't turn the music up too loud, it can be extremely hard to have a conversation without shouting, even if the place isn't crowded. I understand the need to not have people linger at a popular spot, but there has to be a better way then to make the place actively unpleasant to be in.
Agreed, although for me it is not about the responses, but about what it does for me:
If you take your posts seriously (and I generally do), you try to construct a comment that is well-written and well-founded. In that process sometimes I have to come to the conclusion that my initial reaction was wrong entirely, wrong partially, incomplete, not supported by evidence or simply an overreaction. I learn from trying to make my point and failing, without anybody ever seeing the attempt.

It's better than simulating an argument in my head because of the definitiveness of posting a comment and because I am already at the device with which I most easily (fail to) find sources/support for my arguments.

I agree- the label was always about marketing more than anything. If you were under 30 and your songs were in any way vaguely different from the status quo of pop and rock, you too could be "alternative".
It depends on the use case. AMD is notorious for their "AMD reset bug" when passing a GPU through to a VM using VFIO. Restart the guest and most cards will lock up because AMD doesn't handle PCI resets properly. You then need to reboot the host to fix it (!). This has been a problem since Polaris if not before and AMD hasn't fixed it, despite knowing full well that the problem exists. At least in this regard, NVIDIA (and Intel as far as I know) work fine.

The community has been able to come up with a workaround for some older cards but the problem persists even in their current cards.

Why is there an increase in lung cancer among women who have never smoked?
I think it's more that noise cancellation is more difficult at higher frequencies. You have to match the waveforms much more precisely to get effective cancellation at high frequencies, so active cancellation is mostly going to work in the low range. Works great for a lot of steady machinery sounds like the rumble of a train or airplane, but does little for high-pitched voices.

Horizon Worlds continues to look like a product with leaders who don't actually want to use a virtual world, or understand the appeal. There is no amount of money which can fix that.

Until that changes, it won't be anywhere near as good as Second Life (which I worked on) or VRChat, despite those systems costing a tiny fraction of what Meta has spent on Horizon Worlds and related projects (Facebook Spaces, Oculus Rooms, etc.). Ex-colleagues of mine worked on this stuff at Meta for years, eventually giving up because of leadership's continual failure to grasp fundamentals of why people like and use virtual worlds.

The explicit point of dismantling some agencies is to leave it to the states. Aka they want to reduce state funding. So the state choices are generate more income or let certain institutions rot.
Nothing quite like suffering through your own decisions to make the lesson stick!
How high do you have volume when you have the noise cancellation on?
I have pretty bad tinnitus and most of my waking hours I have my AirPod Pros in but haven't noticed any increase in my tinnitus.
Yep, even when they have sound going through them 100% of the time as to not hear my tinnitus. I would expect sudden quiet making me pay attention to it again causing it to be worse but nope, doesn't matter.
The plane is.. upside down?
noise cancelling works best for constant sounds (like the thrum of an engine or a murmur of the crowd) so the anc processor can "compensate" for that sound. If a toddler was crying irregularly, with "wahs" at longer bursts, it's possible that the ANC didn't have time for it's time window to compensate for the sound. Aka the sound started and stopped before a particular time window.

not sure if it is by design, but a larger window would potentially decrease computational load since it doesn't need to recalibrate and reprocess at a higher rate.
Delta plane crash lands, flips over at Toronto Pearson Airport; 8 injured
Does it have rotation lock? That's my single biggest pet peeve about the Kindle Scribe.
This is all ignoring that we live in a world almost completely dominated by disinformation.

The media have clearly aligned themselves to not report on whats actually happening. Right wing supporters get a carefully curated "view" of whats going on. Left wing media pushes outrage over ever minuscule detail while purposefully obfuscating whats really going on.

> This is exactly the type of outcome Trump supporters were looking for.

Trump supporters or republicans? Trump supporters at this point are rabid lunatics who post nothing but "librul tears" memes on facebook. They have no connection to reality. Republicans are trapped in an algorithmic cage, where everything might not be ideal, but gosh darn it, its for the good of the country!

> If you want to interact with the right wing people or read what they are thinking, that’s effectively what X is for right now.

I dont know how a rational, technologically inclined, person can scroll through X and not see that its 60% bots and propaganda. X is not reality, it is Elon's personal propaganda machine.

> this constant hand-wringing of “nobody supports this, I don’t understand, crisis crisis crisis” is unproductive and ignorant of the reality of the political landscape in the US right now.

What is the political reality of the US right now? You're conflating the peoples' response to the information they're getting to the actual reality: The US government is being destroyed by a hostile group of actors, with most likely criminal motives.
I'm sure Fox news will investigate his claims and let their listeners know that he lied about this.
> Engineering isn't about working on the most interesting problems. It's about getting stuff done and management happy.

That's a perfectly reasonable thing to want out of engineering for yourself. I wouldn't state it as an absolute truth for all people though.

Personally, I'd like to be working on something that extends the state-of-the-art a little, even if only by a tiny fraction. It can be one for the other disciplines involved - it doesn't have to be the software I'm writing that is responsible for that (and it usually isn't), but that's what I derive satisfaction from.

Whoever Satoshi was, they don't care to cash in a bunch of bitcoin that would be worth a lot right now. Now maybe they lost the hard drive, but more likely they are either:

1) dead

2) so rich that it wouldn't improve their life any to out themselves as Satoshi, while it might make their life more complicated owing to governments that may resent it

My guess is that #1 is the more likely. But, you know, if I'm wrong and it's #2, I guess it could be Jack Dorsey. But the simplest answer is more often the correct one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this action by the NLRB expands the applicability of non-competes. The policy that they rescinded held that (some) non-competes violate employee rights.
Would you be surprised to learn that there are other data sources and processes in place to make sure that dead people don't get benefits, even if this one database table doesn't have all the information?

Even a cursory search will show this.
I understand what you are saying. Obviously the type of development you do is a factor, as well as the way you and/or your team does development. I think others are looking for the one true solution, and you are saying that you have found the solution that works for you, given the way you develop and the constraints you deal with. At least that was my understanding of it. If you are doing embedded development, being thrown into a large front-end development project isn't going to use the same solution.

I have a solution for custom content management systems that usually makes it fairly easy for me to incorporate customer requests without needing to toss out my existing solution and start over. Almost a type of framework built over an existing open source CMS product. I maintain about 90 websites as the only backend developer, and have spent about 12 years now working through various versions of the software to custom tailor a solution that works for nearly all situations I have come across. I don't do front-end development any longer, but I was involved heavily at the beginning stages to make sure both the front-end and backend were flexible and broken apart into modules.
I can echo the parent. I still remember my time at MIT like it was yesterday, and it helped me immensely in life, especially having grown up poor.

But it was the people I met and the stuff I worked on with them, and the relationships that forged, that stuck. The classes were useful and interesting but I’m very glad I made them the “side quest,” so to speak, and made “do interesting stuff with interesting people” the main quest.
Ditto. But that would require functional European leaders - a species which was pretty much extinct by 1975.
Of course it's sloppy to not have any date in the DB. The thing is -- we don't know why exactly it happened and what kind of procedure they follow or don't. Maybe there is a scan of the certificate somewhere and it's illegible and nobody cares, because it's not a problem really. Benefits are mostly being paid to people eligible and any effort to achieve better quality will waster more money than is lost to fraud. That's of course triggering every autistas mind, but so what?

It could also be that entries in the DB that are complete are not exactly correct or even belong to real people and of course there is fraud and corruption going on at least somewhere.
