To liberals a “socialist” like Mamdani is way worse than conservatives like Trump. They are more than happy to support a sexual predator over a socialist. Trump and the DNC largely have the same donors to keep happy. Capitalism and how to make a select few fabulously wealthy isn’t a power either the democrats or republicans want to give up. Unfortunately due to the first past the post voting system we have to align to one of the two fucked up corporatist political parties. One which pretends to care about things like equality and fairness and one who has removed their mask and fully embraces all the worst aspects of humanity. I’d still much rather have a Target that pretended to care about things than a Target who fully embraces late stage capitalism.

A natural reason teal and orange works - it's generally understood that the most flatteing lighting is at golden hour, when the sun sets but is still very bright. The sun takes on a more reddish hue (going to orange) and the sky tends towards teal. The stricking image of a sunset you can picture in your head.

In real life the cokor of both the sun and sky will strongly affect the color of what you see, meaning you actually see more "teal and orange" at that time, although much less intense than when color graded ( and you're losing light, so you're not used to bright teal and orange).

Unsubstantiated, but I also think your brain feels the manufactured lighting (which is flatteing to the skin) is similar to golden hour, and that then the teal and orange can make it "make sense" more, unconsciously.

I've long thought that most "opinion" books -- self-help, historical analysis, scientific commentary, policy-recommendations etc. -- are 3-5% the actual point they want you to take away, and 95-97% of the material is the anecdotes/cites they use to try to convince you they're right.

Agreeing with the article, you don't need to remember the justification nearly as much as you do the bare facts. Except: in the future, remembering some of the anecdotes helps you remember why you believe what you (now) believe in the first place. It also helps you convince other people of the rightness of the ideas.

I provided analysis supporting my position that the project maintainers most likely did not make this policy based on "literally just 'thoughts and feelings'" and, instead, made an informed policy based on experience and rational discourse.

>People dramatically over weight how bad plastic is for the environment.

I can only give a: what in the fuck are you talking about?? Modern medicine is literally finding microplastics in men's testes. "People" are dramatically underestimating how completely and utterly screwed the next dozen generations of humanity are with the plastic waste we've blanketed the earth in. Assuming humans survive that long.

If you've been around the last shrinkflation block, you know what'll happen.

Things will keep shrinking and slowly they'll stop calling it "family" size. After a year or 2, they'll introduce a new "extra large" size of the product which is actually just the old size or old large size.

Inflation always happens, and shrinkflation is how businesses deal with that.

Yes I knew he was a Christian. So? Ms. Rachel is too and she somehow doesn't want to kill gays, despite quoting Leviticus.

At the end of the day, you have no evidence that he was preaching hate. So you must have come to that conclusion by believing what someone told you without checking it yourself. If you were being skeptical, you could go and ask those people who told you that to explain their reasons and maybe they do have something, or maybe they don't.

It seems like no exceptions would just make life needlessly difficult for me.

I just received a monitor at no-cost because the first one I bought had a hardware defect - the company didn’t respond to my attempt to contact them, so I returned it to amazon and left an accurate review. The seller followed up and sent me a non-broken one. If I’d ignored this, not only would I be down a monitor, I’d have just assumed the entire product category - of which there seems to be only a single supplier (16” 2880x1800 AMOLED monitors that match up perfectly to 27” 5K monitors when placed in portrait mode) simply wasn’t workable with my setup for whatever reason.

My dentist recently called to reschedule an appointment. I could have insisted that I call them back, but that just wastes everyone’s time for a conversation that has no real scam potential.

There is a rather cheap mainboard ASUS K14PA-U12 for 9004 EPYCs [1]. Strange, but it is missing support for 9005 Turin. How can this be (except of 400W+ models)? What do you think, could there be some true hardware issue making it impossible to workaround it in BIOS and thus no chance for coreboot either?

There have always been shitty conservatives in the world. The US fought a civil war against them. Civilized people fought against them and won civil rights and women’s suffrage and the right for gay folk to get married. These assholes have always existed in society and unfortunately always will. This is not a problem of social media but of acceptable antisocial behavior and beliefs.

Thank you! Interestingly, it also appears this transmission line is will allow Brazil to disconnect their synchronous interconnect with Venezuela (due to a combination of poor grid performance and power cost compared to domestic hydropower), while exports are being considered at the same time.

> Another highlight was the transmission line's excess capacity, which currently transports four times more energy than Roraima's current consumption. This surplus provides the conditions to boost the state's economic development and opens up trade opportunities with neighboring countries and even the Caribbean.

I want to like this, but... While I do want generative AI for CAD, I really want it to generate initial files for me from scratch. That's where the bulk of the work is. Also, I'm not a building architect - my work is in mechanical and electrical systems. It wasn't readily apparent to me which domain this functions for.

The commercial vid was not very good IMO - I didn't get a sense of the actual product value-add at all. As an prospective customer, that's what matters to me, not terrible jokes.

Hopping to the references right away doesn’t work for me. I prefer just going through the whole paper once and coming back. To me it’s analogous to reading a book in a language not familiar to me. You read it lengthy chuck of texts even though you come across words you don’t know. Then you can find the meaning of words and read the texts again for better understanding . This way I think is more helpful to grasp the whole topic and intention of texts faster.

Shinjuku being as concentrated as it is, is mostly a historical accident. Prewar Japan prohibited mainline railway options inside the Yamanote ring, because old steam railways took up a lot of room with yards and were very polluting; and and so you have all the suburban and long distance railways stopping or going around the ring (the notable exception being the Chuo Line which was built before that regulation). And the flattest, largest, and most attractive land development areas were west of the Yamanote ring so most trains ended up at Shibuya, or Shinjuku, or Ikebukuro, which round out the top three stations in Japan. This led to a lot of problems as these stations became more overcrowded with people changing from mainline suburban trains onto local transportation services. The through-running subways of Tokyo were developed largely to fix this, by allowing trains to pass through into the formerly prohibited city center so that people would stay on the same train instead of clogging up the platforms and stairwells and passageways by transferring. As more railways were able to through run, that lessened the need for yards to store trains that were no longer terminating, and they became large parcels of redevelopment that begot even more ridership.

To some degree, future planners learned from this by not overly concentrating passenger flows at a handful of stations; and by the time they were rapidly urbanizing, trains had become electric and there wasn't really any good reason to stop trains from entering central cities anymore. If you look at the Seoul or Beijing or Shanghai networks, they are intentionally a large, overlapping grid with many transfers to reduce the load on any single station.

>Don't be so snobby about cake ingredients.

Surfactants/emulsifiers, from that list, have been connected to leaky gut ('emulsifying' protective mucus) which causes inflammation. This is hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms by which ultra-processed food causes a constellation of diseases.

Be snobby about cake ingredients.

Not too long ago, I was in Redding CA on a cold morning in a coffee shop for a business meeting. I happened to chit chat with a gal with a nasal infusion pump who was nervously gathering her papers for a bankruptcy hearing where the hospitals and such were calling dibs on (nearly) everything she had left while she was dying and still alive from Stage IV cancer. That was just one life made to suffer and destroyed by privatizing everything and calling universal healthcare "communism". There are millions more nameless examples whose stories die untold, and you (if you were American in America), your mother, your child, or your spouse may well end up becoming one of these statistics too. Every other civilized country in the world and relatively some poorer ones have better health outcomes, live longer, and spend less per patient. Americans are dying and becoming homeless unnecessarily because of apathy, out-of-control political corruption, and greed. It's shameful and a disgrace.

> The idea that models are transformative is debatable. Works with copyright are the thing that imbues the model with value. If that statement isn’t true, then they can just exclude those works and nothing is lost, right?

I don't follow.

For one, all works have a copyright status I believe (under US jurisdiction; this of course differs per jurisdiction, although there are international IP laws), some are just extremely permissive. Models rely on a wide range of works, some with permissive, some with restrictive licensing. I'd imagine Wikipedia and StackOverflow are pretty important resources for these models for example, and both are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, a permissive license.

Second, despite your claim being thus false, dropping restrictively copyrighted works would make a dent of course I'm pretty sure, although how much, I'm not sure. I don't see why this would be a surprise: restrictively licensed works do contribute value, but not all of the value. So their removal would take away some of the value, but not all of it. It's not binary.

And finally, I'm not sure these aspects solely or even primarily determine whether these models are legally transformative. But then I'm also not a lawyer, and the law is a moving target, so what do I know. I'd imagine it's less legal transformativeness and more colloquial transformativeness you're concerned about anyhow, but then these are not necessarily the best aspects to interrogate either.

It usually doesn't matter. But I can think of a few recipes that have been impacted which usually rely on canned goods. They'll call for something like a "15oz (425g) can of diced tomatoes" and shrinkflation has turned those into 12.5oz cans (350g). You can't even buy a 15oz can anymore which is a bit frustrating.

To be fair, "it just works" is a relatively recent feature of Graphene. It used to not be able to support things like Uber, Google Maps, etc.

And, I still haven't been able to get it to properly support Google Fi, wherever I switch profiles it confuses the carrier and my access gets reset.

My solution has been to have two phones, one with Google Fi that I use to hotspot my Graphene device. Everything else seems to work fine on Graphene, including Uber and maps and calendar and VPNs and isolated profiles for gaming vs work vs socializing, etc

Why is it that whenever someone makes an accusation of bad behaviour from GrapeheneOS devs, they always end the posts with citations that lead to absolutely nowhere? Where, specifically in that first link as I don't consider a Louis Rossmann video a credible source, are these indications of "unresolved mental issues"?

Don't post another link or quote from anywhere else. You provided that link as evidence and I want to see specifically what it is you expect people to take from it.

What I am calling snobby is to look down on grandma's cooking because she used processed foods. Normal, everyday families around the world use processed foods in their cooking. In the US Midwest a tradition is to use a box cake mix as a base and add to it flavorful additions, like homemade jams, fruits, whipped cream, etc. If I went to someone's house and their grandma served to me, it would be extremely snobbish to think to myself, "heh, this has boxed mix in it, she doesn't know what TRUE cake is".

Also, why would calling that "snobby" imply that I don't know how to bake? That's a lot more of a snobby statement, to say that I must be unskilled since I don't judge food based solely on having "the best flavor". I worked in a bakery and have made a lot of baked goods, from scratch, in a professional setting.

I'm not saying boxed cakes are the best cakes. They have consistently good texture and moisture, which is not an easy feat. I would like the emphasize "consistency". Yes, any child can make a simple cake recipe. But to do it well every time, in any kitchen, at different scales, is not trivial. The flavors are not always the best but that's where you can customize it.

Sure I would take a well-made made-from-scratch cake over a boxed one any day. But the point of these recipes is the traditions behind it. Part of why mom and grandma could make a whole Thanksgiving feast and array of desserts is because many shortcuts can be taken, including using a boxed mix. That efficiency is part of the tradition behind recipes handed down from grandparents, in the same way that "poverty food" is born from constraints of the era.

The value behind creative expressions is not just the artifact but the efforts and intentions of the creators behind it.

> AI being trained on copyrighted data is considered fair use because it transforms the underlying data rather than distribute it as is.

It's not a binary. Sometimes it fully reproduces works in violation of copyright and other times it modifies it just enough to avoid claims against it's output. Using AI and just _assuming_ it would never lead you to a copyright violation is foolish.

> uses same energy as more than 100 GPT questions.

Are you including training costs or just query costs?

> But the reasoning is motivated from a wrong place.

That does not matter. What matters is if the outcome is improved in the way they predict. This is actually measurable.

> Also, don’t you have to hit a pthread cancellation point for pthread_cancel to take effect?

No, the whole point here is async cancellation - you don't test for it and you don't enter a cancellation point.

Excerpt from pthread_setcancelstate(3):

> Asynchronous cancelability > Setting the cancelability type to PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS is rarely useful. > Since the thread could be canceled at any time, it cannot safely reserve resources > (e.g., allocating memory with malloc(3)), acquire mutexes, semaphores, or locks, and > so on. Reserving resources is unsafe because the application has no way of knowing > what the state of these resources is when the thread is canceled; that is, did cance- > lation occur before the resources were reserved, while they were reserved, or after > they were released? Furthermore, some internal data structures (e.g., the linked > list of free blocks managed by the malloc(3) family of functions) may be left in an > inconsistent state if cancelation occurs in the middle of the function call. Conse- > quently, clean-up handlers cease to be useful. > > Functions that can be safely asynchronously canceled are called async-cancel-safe > functions. POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 require only that pthread_cancel(3), > pthread_setcancelstate(), and pthread_setcanceltype() be async-cancel-safe.

I made some bets, metaphorically speaking, that didn't pay off, or took a long time to pay off. I'm not sure they were bad bets, given what I knew at the time, and it's been very educational at least—especially about the central question of why so many people in modern societies live in such scarcity. To an enormous extent it's structural issues, which I think you could sort of sum up as insufficiently capitalist societies.

Hopefully I'll be in much better shape materially soon! I've just overcome some big external obstacles.

The notebooks aren't evaluated in reverse, but rather in the order they need to be to get the final results. Observable builds a DAG, similar to Marimo. You can put cells in any order you'd like.

I think that in all the notebook solutions I've seen that allow this, a culture emerges where the "final result" is put at the top so that you can find it easily and interact with it as a user. The actual development process involves writing stuff top down and then re-ordering it for use.

I’m in a similar boat like you. I would love for a React-like library that compiles down to direct JavaScript DOM transforms. Of course Svelte exists but I don’t want to mark what is reactive or not and I can’t go back to html templates after using typed JSX. Also I don’t really like the “island” like template syntax of Vue, Svelte, etc

I did try phoneless for a few years, except for a dumbphone that I kept at home for the rare call or SMS 2FA.

The biggest factor that forced upgrading was poor call quality on the dumbphones I tried. (And this was really forced by bombing a particular important phone call because I couldn't be understood well.)

Then, once I found a smartphone that I kinda liked (GrapheneOS, after Apple sold out on surveillance), there were reasons to start carrying it. Rather than simply keeping it in a drawer at home.

But fortunately not sufficient reason so far to go full Google Play.

Email, Web, maps, authenticator, camera, and calls are all things I sometimes could use when out.

Though I normally don't have to have any of those, but I've been experimenting with it for a year or so, and seeing whether it's worthwhile.

Why do you care? Their sandbox their rules, and if you care because you want to contribute you’re still free to do so. Unless you’re an LLM I guess, but the rest of us should have no problem.

The negativity just seems overblown. More power to them, and if this was a bad call they’ll revisit it.

I get the nostalgic aspect. But it's not like there aren't a zillion from-scratch brownie recipes to choose from.

And since you're doing it twice a year, honestly, get 2 boxes. If throwing away some extra premix destroys the pleasure, then that's a low bar.

Would I reverse-engineer the box? No. That sounds like work. But its not hard to find recipes online.

Of course with every problem comes opportunity. What I see here is an opportunity for a devoted grandson to box up 18oz of premix for grandma. Grandma's "secret" was that she "cheated", her pleasure was in the feeding not the baking. Enabling grandma to continue this going forward is the easiest thing ever.

I'm really curious how exactly they'll wind up phasing out Rosetta 2. They seem to be a bit coy about it:

> Rosetta was designed to make the transition to Apple silicon easier, and we plan to make it available for the next two major macOS releases – through macOS 27 – as a general-purpose tool for Intel apps to help developers complete the migration of their apps. Beyond this timeframe, we will keep a subset of Rosetta functionality aimed at supporting older unmaintained gaming titles, that rely on Intel-based frameworks.

However, that leaves much unsaid. Unmaintained gaming titles? Does this mean native, old macOS games? I thought many of them were already no longer functional by this point. What about Crossover? What about Rosetta 2 inside Linux?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...

I wouldn't be surprised if they really do drop some x86 amenities from the SoC at the cost of performance, but I think it would be a bummer of they dropped Rosetta 2 use cases that don't involve native apps. Those ones are useful. Rosetta 2 is faster than alternative recompilers. Maybe FEX will have bridged the gap most of the way by then?
