Scare quotes often reflect derision; they don't necessarily imply intention. I think in TFA's case they're suggesting that Instagram is downplaying the incident, since calling it an "error" puts in the same category as a service outage.
So the article references the market samples with Raccoon Dog mtDNA with some SARS2 within it. But here is the problem when you look at the samples there is a high abundance of animal viruses such as bamboo rat CoV, canine CoV HeB-G1, rabbit CoV HKU14, and canine CoV SD-F3. But a very low abundance of SARS2 so much so that SARS2 is negatively associated with non human mtDNA.

> Mitochondrial material from most susceptible non-human species sold live at the market is negatively correlated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2: for instance, thirteen of the fourteen samples with at least a fifth of their chordate mitochondrial material from raccoon dogs contain no SARS-CoV-2 reads, and the other sample contains just 1 of ~200,000,000 reads mapping to SARS-CoV-2

I remember seeing another one while coming up with this, but now I can't remember what it was. It's definitely rare.
The scare quotes don't suggest that it was deliberate, it's quoting instagram's response to highlight how ridiculous it is to call showing thousands of people gore a simple "error." They're dramatically minimizing the problem.

It seems like a fair callout to me, especially because instagram has made this "error" before at least one other time.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to me if it's a demand response generator (peaker)...

If demand is low, charge batteries. If demand is high, drain batteries. If demand is higher than batteries can sustain, run gas. If there's a subsidy for putting battery electric power on the grid, when batteries are low and demand is also low, run gas to charge batteries locally and then supply that to the grid later to get the subsidy.

Only the last part requires colocation, but it's probably easier to get one power plant parcel zoned and one power plant hooked up to the grid, and having both energy storage and a gas peaker together might bring it up the connection prioritization list because it addresses multiple problems for grid operation.

There is something grounding about seeing gore, it doesn't feel real. My own opinion of life, living in a state of "this, then this, then this" not really in the moment. We forget about how fragile our bodies are. It's better not to be in fear of bad things like accidents/murder but yeah still good to keep in mind how life isn't so bad.

Is there a mainstream language where this still holds true?

From what I've seen most languages don't want to have a Turing complete type system, but end up with one anyway. It doesn't take much, so it's easy to end up with it accidentally and/or by adding conveniences that don't seem programmable, e.g. associated types and type equality.

I love this post a lot. Our entire world is perpetuated by platforms that are desperately begging us for engagement. It feels to me at least that I'm being pulled in a hundred directions, for all my time for all time.

My engagement with Balatro is not quite the same as localthunks. I go in phases where I play a lot and then put it down and walk away, and then weeks later I get back into it. But that also feels like it's in the spirit of what localthunk is talking about here. It's a comfort game. A pasttime rather than an addiction. Balatro is a stress reliever for me and I can jump in, play, and jump out and it's fine.

I wonder what our digital world would look like if more tools and platforms adopted an approach that was not clinging desperately for everything all the time all at once.

I'm sorry but the chat format is a really poor way to share ideas.

It's long, meandering, and contains many instances of wrong and not-even-wrong assertions by you (expected, you don't claim to be an expert, but hurts your credibility) and by chatGPT (expected, hallucinations, but makes it impossible to believe any assertion without already knowing what makes sense).

If you believe you came up with something worth sharing, please take the 30 minutes to edit it into something coherent.

I tried to understand as much as I could from the conversation, but there was some much where I had to pause and consider if it makes sense or not that it's almost as much effort as if I had to come up with the idea myself in the first place, and that's too much effort for someone else's idea.

I'm sorry for the negativity, but I believe I am giving constructive criticism. You're clearly very curious and creative, but that's sadly not enough.
The one challenge of this is that a lot of these better behaviors are not viewed as 'leadership', so by being more effective you may be less rewarded.
This is a story of a man becoming radicalized. He is prioritizing these radical beliefs above his marriage, friendships, and relationships with his children.

I will drop an observation here that many perpetrators of mass casualties were seen in retrospect to go down a similar path. Friends and family knew something was up, but nothing could be done.

My view is that there is a straight line from this guys story to a catastrophe where this guy harms himself and others. At a certain point he has lost everything that matters and will be consumed by this paranoia
> 2. Any statistics you look at, the median and average american citizen is far from being impoverished even by rich developed country western standards. I recommend people visit some developing countries to get a perspective on what true poverty looks like.

I understand what you're getting at here, but this misses the point. If people are used to a decent quality of life, and that quality of life declines, they're going to be miserable. It doesn't matter what other countries are like.

It's really in the same vein of "clean your plate because there are people starving who'd love to be in your shoes", which has never been a good argument.

More importantly, if a lot of people are miserable, especially if they think some other group of people is the reason, it's going to cause civil unrest. Right now, the billionaires have been successful at tricking people into thinking it's immigrants or some other group, but that won't always be the case.
To the specific case of solar becoming a hated thing in Republican districts, I flat out don't understand the reasoning. Would be interesting to see what the driving negative viewpoints are focused on. As stated, it is far too easy to think this is largely a twisted case of "anything to own the Democrats." Which... please tell me there is more to it than that.

At a broader level, it is frustrating how effective forcing a political wedge has become. I'm guessing it was always more effective than I would was aware?

I think the part that frustrates me the most on it, is how so many that claim to be above the "identity politics" stuff seem so blind to the fact that they are just pushing a different identity. Worse, the "centrists" that can't admit that they enabled some very extreme actors. Is this something that has direct parallels in the past?

I wrote this article. The quote is in the headline because Instagram is calling it an error, I am not calling it an error. People have been wondering what happened and why, and have been posting on Reddit wondering why there’s no media attention. It’s a small signal, but I put the quote around “error” to indicate that I did some reporting and got official word from Meta about what happened, and was not just speculating.

That is the case, and it may happen soon, but absolutely zero promises about that.
Your first example will hilariously work if `f` is inline and simple enough and optimizations are turned on. I'm not sure I like that, so I might change that. I'd like to only guarantee the you get a capability in cases where that guarantee holds regardless of optimization (and I could achieve that with some more compiler hacking).

Not sure about the semantics of with_addr. But note that you can do this in Fil-C:

char* p = ...;
uintptr_t i = ...;
p -= (uintptr_t)p; // now p is NULL but still has its original capability
p += i; // now p points to whatever i's address was, but has p's original capability

I have a helper like that called `zmkptr` (it's just an inline function that does exactly the above).

This metaphor of the pachinko machine (or Plinko game) is exactly how I explain LLMs/ML to laypersons. The process of training is the act of discovering through trial and error the right settings for each peg on the board, in order to consistently get the ball to land in the right spot-ish.

I'm not going to go into the details of my relationships with the people I'm close to here. And yes, I'm specifically talking about the wife and daughter when I say that some members of his family decided to abandon him over his beliefs.

Maybe there was more going on that the article didn't discuss, so I'm not going to judge the people involved in that specific situation, but severing relationships with your family over an intellectual disagreement that has close to zero direct impact on your everyday life is rather petty in my opinion. If you really love someone, it ought to take more than that to damage your relationship.

Ask HN: Wrap Webforms in SSO
I’m looking for a solution to implement Single Sign On on top of websites that only provides username/password login opens.

I wanna have a central vault of passwords, and allow my employees to login to shared accounts on different systems without exposing the username/password to them.

I’m imagining something like a remote connection to a server that runs a browser in kiosk mode and integrates with a vault, and the browser should not let it be possible for the users to extract the passwords from the webforms.

How do I solve this problem? Is anyone aware of a solution here?
The simple explanation: Lets say you have a one-dimensional time-domain signal, e.g. an audio signal measured by a microphone, which measures the displacement of air vs. time at a fixed point (assuming you dont move the microphone I guess)

The Fourier transform (of which the FFT is a discrete version of) decomposes that 1D time-domain signal (e.g. an audio signal, time vs. displacement) into frequency vs. magnitude and phase components

The frequency is basically the pitch. So for a pure sine wave, or pure tone - which sounds like those "off air" TV signals we used to get late at night back in the day. You get a bunch of zeros and a single "spike" at the frequency of the tone. The larger the amplitude of the signal, the larger the magnitude of the spike will be. As the pitch (frequency) increases/decreases, the location of this spike moves up/down along horizontal axis

The phase is basically the time offset of the signal. A tone which was delayed somehow will show up as a different phase. Note this is a relative measure - not absolute. So you won't be able to tell if the signal was offset by 1s or 2s, etc. because it has units of radians(angle), which have to "reset" as the angle wraps around the circle.

So for one signal (time vs. amplitude), you actually get two pieces of information (frequency vs. magnitude/phase)

However if you understand imaginary numbers/complex variables, those two signals are really just the magnitude and argument of FFT output, which produces a complex function
Not sure how we could ever prove something like that but it's certainly an amusing and symmetrical view of the universe: big bangs create two universes, moving in opposite time directions from each other. Each seeing the other's particles as anti-particles.

Thinking about it though: photos are their own antiparticle. So I'd expect to see a lot more cosmic microwave background than we should because at least in the early days the antimatter universe would have been visible to us?

Side note: how can photos be their own antiparticle? Same reason they move at the speed of causality. They have no mass thus do not experience the flow of time themselves. So they do not annihilate with themselves. From a photon's POV a trip across the universe is instant.
