A group of friends and I used to play what we called "cheater's poker". There were no stakes expect bragging rights, but you were allowed to cheat in anyway what so ever. Stacked decks, marked cards, false shuffles etc. I'm curious what that would look like in this game and how far you could take it before it became socially awkward.

Could you ask a friend/plant to come to a particular station at some time and sit in a specific seat to aid/hinder a set? Gesturing to someone a specific seat is open? How about outright asking someone if they'd be willing to sit in a particular spot?
In my case it's the combination of too much caffeine, dehydration, and intense exercise where my HR maxes out. 2/3 risk factors will typically not be enough to trigger one for me. HIIT workouts and soccer have done it in the past.

The aura (with scintillating scotoma) starts coming on usually an hour or so after the exercise is done, and I know I've got about 15-20 minutes before the actual migraine hits. Got prescribed Sumatriptan and it maybe reduced the intensity by about 25%. I'll have to try the water chugging, maybe with rehydration salts to speed up absorption.

The App View frontend is open source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

Much of the backend is open source as well: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages

What is not are the extra services they run to provide a better and faster UX. Even if it was open source, it likely costs 10s of thousands to run per month (they have moved largely to "onprem" hardware instead of the cloud aiui)

Testing strategy? What’s that? I kid, but just a bit. Our use case is a data warehouse. We use DBT to build everything. Each commit is built in CI to a CI target project. Each commit gets its own hash prefixed in front of dataset names. Each developer also has their own prefix for local development. The dev and ci datasets expire and are deleted after like a week. We use data tests on the actual data for “foreign keys”, checking for duplicates and allowed values. But that’s pretty much it. It’s very difficult to do TDD for a data warehouse in sql.

My current headache is what to do with an actually big table, 25 billion rows of json, for development. It’s going to be some DBT hacks I think.

God help you if you want to unit test application code that relies on bigquery. I’m sure there are ways but I doubt they don’t hurt a lot.
How do you tell that to them in the first place? You got someone's phone number. The person who gives it to you tells them that they use whatsapp. You can't even tell them "Sorry I only use Signal" unless you open whatsapp app.

The Fed is statutorily independent, and organized in a manner that the current Court has validated (unlike the CFPB). Just like Trump can't assert legislative superiority over Congress, he cannot unilaterally compromise the independence of the Fed.

Isn't the most popular myth about 300 Spartans facing off against the powerful Persian Empire bent on conquering Greek lands? Which is based on a historical event, but there were several thousand other Greeks helping the Spartan warriors in a narrow pass, because fighting in the open would have benefited the much larger Persian force.

5 GB/s per core would still be 40 Gbps per core, so only ~15% of their time would be spent in encryption. They spend 5x longer doing the non-encryption stuff.

Also, it would be silly to bottleneck your protocol implementation benchmark on encryption that would be shared amongst implementations because that does not highlight your overhead advantages. In addition, the benchmarking RFC explicitly allows for the null encryption case in benchmarking for exactly that reason.
>The hard thing is to do the rigorous testing itself.

This. Rigorous testing is hard and it requires a high degree of intuition and intellectual humility. When I'm evaluating something as part of my resaerch, I'm constantly asking: "Am I asking the right questions?" "Am I looking at the right metrics?" "Are the results noisy, to what extent, and how much does it matter?" and "Am I introducing confounding effects?" It's really hard to do this at scale and quickly. It necessarily requires slow measured thought, which computers really can't help with.

You've nailed it. I call this the Galadriel Principle and it can be applied to many things: weapons, executive procedures, etc.:

“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

Oppression when Galadriel is on the throne may be better than that for Sauron; it's still oppression.
when I read the spec it seemed like the operator of an AppView & Relay would be most in need of compensation for their hosting costs due to the amount of demand on those components so I believe the spec allows an operator to implement their own AppView & monetize it as that operator sees fit, so that they can afford to operate the service and maybe even make money off of it so that they can make it their full time jobs.

If you eschew the standard 4 suit deck and go for a differently scaled one I think it's pretty simple - just do it based on clothing choices or items carried with more value given to a rarer case.

Things like beanies, grocery bags, formal shoes could all be used to make suits and you have a bit more choices to play with on how you count the person. Do I count them as a "formal shoes" or a "grocery bag"? What do I think I'm more likely to see board later?

It's not a matter of opinion. You literally resorted to insults and vulgarity. Do I need quote your words back to you?

No, I was someone pointing our your arguments were bad. Out of the two of us, I'm the only one who has lived in both countries, and my arguments were not fallacious.

This is certainly ironic given you engaged in whataboutism and your evidence was shown to be flawed for the points you were trying to make.

> so it’s no surprise to learn here that you also consider your opinion to be objective and infallible.

I think you are bad at reasoning your points and you ignore objective evidence. My opinion isn't infallible, but the reasoning and evidence to support it is better than what you are relying on to support yours.

Funny, I suspected you only started the discussion you did because you had recognized I was the same person.

I think it's highly likely that the Democratic party will never govern the United States again.

Every single move the current government is making increasingly seems to be a clever way to stack the chips in their favor in perpetuity.

We seem to be living though the backstory of how some far-off sci-fi civilization came to be, replete with greedy tech corps in the ears and pockets of narcissistic leaders.

Which is why this came out in February, after most of the sales of the iPhone 16 are done.

The energy density of gravity-based storage is very low, so it could work in places where you have mountainous terrain and a lot of cheap land, but what do you do after the sites suitable for it are already in use? To make that work you'd need a scalable storage technology with a low enough cost per kWh of capacity to economically scale to multiple TWh of storage in case it's cloudy for an extended period of time.

For example, if you could make batteries at a price of $115/kWh, the cost for enough capacity to sustain the US power grid for a week would be around 24 trillion dollars, and that's just for the batteries and not any of the associated electronics or the land or the photon collectors themselves. It seems like to make your plan work you'd need a scalable storage technology with a significantly lower cost per kWh of capacity.
In many languages, like Italian which I am a native speaker of, to "spread like a cancer" doesn't have the negative subtext of the English idiom. It just means it spreads, wildly, uncontrollable. In English it gets muddled with the very negative idiom of "being a cancer", i.e. being very bad if not fatal.
Yeah. Dude. I don’t like the outcome, but he has “extra” powers because Republicans won a lot of elections and are a majority in all three branches of government and in many statehouses.
This is marketing material from Google and people are accepting the premises uncritically.
So there's three cases here worth talking about.

1) You patent something, but don't do anything with it except enforce the patent.

2) You patent something, but the only thing you do with it is license others to use it, potentially hiring someone else to manage the licenses but you retain ownership.

3) You patent something, you sell the patent to someone else to do 2)

Cases 1 and 3 have significant negative effects on both technology and society that the law should prevent. Case 2 covers your brilliant new invention but don't bring it to market yourself and is fine.

The key notion here is that you cannot sell intellectual property. It's ephemeral. You can license it and create all sorts of creative license terms, but once you're dead or the timeline of exclusive rights runs out, or you personally stop "using" it (or all companies stop using it), the patent effectively expires because you can't claim damages if you or your license holders have not seen any negative impacts.

In a perfect world, "defensive" patent strategies and rent-seeking by middlemen would be prevented by construction. This maximizes the incentive to innovate and share ideas, instead of bottling them up. If you want true, exclusive rights to something, don't share it in a patent.

Fair enough. I agree .25^20 is basically infinitesimal, and even with a smaller exponent (like .25^3) the odds are not great, so I appreciate you calling this out.

Flipping this around, though, if you have 4 workers total and 3 are busy with jobs (1 idle), your next job has only a 25% chance of hitting the idle worker. This is what I see the most in practice; there is a backlog, and not all workers are busy even though there is a backlog.
What does it mean to be “equivalent” anyway? I mean, the fact that we’d have to do some funky normalization to the standards of the era is itself an indictment of Spartan values, right? Every major power of even somewhat recent history is very decadent by their standards, including the Soviet Union. If somebody thinks Soviet feats were impressive, they should just adopt Soviet values instead I guess.
Only signal.me links were blocked as far as I understood. Other signal links kept working. (I have no first hand knowledge as I left Twitter when the owner changed)
> Qi2 is based on Magsafe.

That's an insult to all of the engineering that went into Qi.

The Magsafe specification was an attempt to create the new Lightning connector ecosystem that backfired spectacularly and blew up in Apple's face. It's nothing more than magnets and DRM layered on top of a regular Qi charger.

Naturally Apple used the DRM to limit the charging speeds of their phones when paired with regular Qi chargers. There's a practical reason for this which is how Apple tried to justify their outrageous licensing fee to implement Magsafe.

Unfortunately for Apple, manufacturers mostly said no to Magsafe licensing and Apple's user based complained to Apple that their phones wouldn't charge at the rated speeds of the Qi chargers they bought.

This put Apple in an awkward position where they could tell their users to only buy MagSafe devices, compromise on safety to appease users, or give up on Magsafe being proprietary. Thankfully they chose the later.

Qi2 isn't Magsafe, Qi2 incorporated Magsafe because it improves the standard.

Don't let Apple marketing fool you into thinking Apple is doing this altruistically.

It was about an hour for me, although I admittedly read it while fixing and munching on my lunch. It was very relatable, and so I felt motivated to see the protagonist to the end, whatever their fate- see if they derived alternate insights than the ones I had arrived at.

I've spent longer reading documentation late at night that ultimately would turn out to be useless to me. This actually had some plausibility of real life utility, but requires "experiencing" to derive useful benefit from.

I think I just punched myself in the stomach again.

Can we give this fear-mongering a rest? This is his second term, he didn't topple democracy in his first term and everyone made the same arguments back then.

If anything the democrats were the party to get rid of some of their democratic process. They didn't even vote on their parties candidate, and no, that doesn't scare me either.

Not to mention the democrats had far more private money spent all three times fighting Trump and yet he still won democratically twice and lost once democratically.

The system isn't great or even good, but it's still functioning.
Rumor is that the 17 will have an Air edition that will be thinner/lighter. It won't help the reach issues much but will make them nicer to hold for extended periods of time. IME the minis are nice because of both weight and the ability to comfortably use with one hand.

im fascinated by the idea that good memory is a sign of low intelligence. it started when i saw that video of apes being made to play memory games in a lab. they have insane, super-human photographic memory. when they are exposed to a pattern on a screen for a fraction of a second they are able to recreate the pattern… large complicated patterns that look like noise to a human. so i think of forgetfulness as a feature not a bug. the more intellect you have, the more your brain tries to focus your mental resources onto a smaller and smaller area.
I voted for the other one, but things were getting worse anyway, and the accelerationist in me wonders if somebody willing to say the quiet fascist stuff out loud and take a sledgehammer to the parts of the government that were actually doing anything useful is unfortunately what it will take to nudge a few more USAians out of their comfortable slow downfall mindset and into one where they actually start to organize against the uh, more-clearly-than-ever oligarchical system that they've been living under.

Either way, things are going to suck for a while. That my employer prioritizes Jira tickets over making good software seems a small price to pay for a bit of financial security (at least until Elon hacks my bank account and takes all my money, or I get thrown in prison for being a wokeness sympathizer, or whatever).
I sadly will pass. I know there was no Mini size coming..but still, one can hope. Anyway, I see absolutely ZERO reasons to switch from my iPhone 14 other than to help them beta test their new modem in the field. They already have been doing that with software releases (iOS specially) since iOS 12/13.

A Mini would not have been a diminished experience/purchase even with lesser features. This is a diminished experience even for what it would cost.
I'd give myself one 24 hour period of "moping." I'd probably get piss drunk and just "get it all out," so to speak. The next day, I would then:

1. Work on myself -- start getting in shape, learn something new, etc..

2. Build things that I have wanted to work on.

3. Apply for new jobs.

4. Apply for jobs completely outside of tech.

(In all honesty, I should probably do all these things anyway, but for some reason, having a job makes much of this too difficult for whatever reason.)

Just remember, now is the time for strength.

Good luck.
