That's not the reason why. Air fryers take longer to cook an item than does a regular fryer. When it comes to meat, often I have to cook it for nearly 30 minutes just to have it reach a safe internal temperature in its center. Restaurants do not have this much time. Even then, the number of servings is small. Restaurants need speed and volume; an air fryer grants neither.

Fwiw, one can always spray oil before placing an item in the air fryer, although it's entirely unnecessary from a cooking pov.

No, actually anti-tivoization makes perfect sense, even in your example, and if you make this toaster then you are simply an evil anti-freedom company.

If you're afraid that modifying the software will make the toaster overheat, then include a hardware thermal fuse. You need to anyway, in case the manufacturer software fails or the processor fails.

So, there is a dashboard internally for that. When we do ProbeNet PoP assessment, we have a high-level overview of the frequent and favored connections. We have a ton of servers in Africa, and there is a strong routing bias towards France, Germany, and the UK instead of neighboring connections.

Everyone in our engineering and leadership is very close with various CDN companies. We do echo this idea to them. It is not IP geolocation; we actually have a ton of routing data they can use.

> What’s more concise than code?

The word "Tetris" is significantly more concise than the source code for Tetris.

"Create a Tetris clone" is a valid four-word prompt. It's not going to produce a perfect one shot, but it'll get you 90% of the way there.

> I could have done it myself. Typing isn’t a hard part.

No, but it is slow. Claude can put together Tetris in 5 minutes. I most definitely cannot.

When I was an undergrad (or maybe it was grad - it was a long time ago) we learned about the Minnesota twins study that attempted to find the strength of genetics in personality. The study developed new statistical techniques to measure this and can to the conclusion that genetics is very strong.

But now you hear nothing about this study. I'm not sure if it's because the results are tainted by eugenics, or if the techniques they developed were wrong...

The law compelling you to make your products hackable is called "right to repair". Without this law, if my toaster breaks, my only option is to buy a new toaster. But if I'm allowed to change the toaster, I can fix the toaster.

Products have worked this way since forever. Only since modern microprocessors and cryptography have evil companies been able to deliberately add roadblocks that are impossible to overcome (without replacing so much hardware that you've made a new toaster from scratch) in order to maximize revenue. This is predatory and should be illegal. The only reason I can see that you'd support this, is it you work for a company that makes a lot of money selling new toasters to replace broken ones, and if this is true, your company deserves to be shut down by the government.

Undesirable output might be more accurate, since there is absolutely no difference in the process of creating a useful output vs a “hallucination” other than the utility of the resulting data.

I had a partially formed insight along these lines, that LLMs exist in this latent space of information that has so little external grounding. A sort of deeamspace. I wonder if embodying them in robots will anchor them to some kind of ground-truth source?

Second-wave feminism explicitly challenged and rejected biological essentialism, which is the misogynistic belief that women are biologically suited to roles like housework, taking care of a husband, raising children and so on, and should do that instead of making any other choices in life. If you are familiar with JKR's feminist views you should know that she isn't bio-essentialist. Very much the opposite.

Also, you're responding to an argument I didn't make. I said nothing about intersex people or any "one-drop rule". My point was that second-wave radical feminism centred sex as the basis of women's oppression under patriarchy, leading to advocacy for women-only spaces. Which is exactly what JKR is defending.

That is the continuity I'm highlighting. It was in response to your earlier comment:

> Second-wave feminists would deplore her bio-essentialism. She is an anti-feminist.

It's also just common sense. Everyone agrees that traits like height is heritable, but somehow whatever goes on inside the brain is not? The null hypothesis here is that it is heritable, and I see no proof whatsoever against that hypothesis. My personal experience raising my own kids and observing countless others confirms common sense. Your own child is not one data point, it's a million small data points, things you notice in what they're like as a baby, and how they develop over time. Only someone without kids would boil this down to a "single data point". I also deny that I have do anything to prove heritability, how about you prove the opposite? It's a conclusion that is so obvious to the impartial mind that to be confused about it is a sign of extreme ideological indoctrination. To deny heritability of personality and intelligence is to deny evolution itself.

Metal is just a giant community of really nice people pretending to be mean. Bikers are mostly the same as well. By contrast I've found hipsters to mostly be quite mean people pretending to be cordial.

This all somehow reminds me of a roommate I had in college. There were 4 of us and he was a physics major who was incredibly distant, straight laced, and stand-offish to the point of feeling like he was somewhat sociopathic. He always had an mp3 player and headphones on, whose contents we could only speculate about. One day he was gone and left it on his bed, so of course we had to have a listen - mostly tongue in cheek joking about it undoubtedly being some sort of screeching death metal type stuff. Somehow it was rather even more terrifying when it turned out to be endless 50s era happy-go-lucky tunes.

Worth mentioning that RiffTrax has a large catalog of riffed shorts (and a few lousy films) that don't require that.

E.g., two of my favorites: "Shake Hands with Danger" and "More Dangerous than Dynamite".

And the ones dubbed by Bridget and Mary Jo are great! Before them, the only narrator group I really liked was Mike+Kevin+Bill.

Maybe you just don't read many books written after the year 2000? It was a pretty common word even before ChatGPT: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=delve&year_sta...

But perhaps the most famous source is Tolkien: "The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane."

Thanks for writing and sharing this beautifully written, tear-inducing account of a last good-bye.

There's one element that is missing from the story, namely what the consequences of the mother's religious belief system means for how the story continues from the mother's own view (a new beginning) versus the daughter's atheist view (the end of the person, full stop).

Happy Third Advent to those that celebrate it!

He was a product of his era and environment. Frankly, finding a boomer Jew like him, who grew up in NYC in the 50s and 60s, who doesn't harbor a significant degree of suspicion and animus (along with covert envy) towards white people (and WASPs in particular), is the exception, not the norm, and he was especially vocal about it because he had a "tryhard" mentality and a desire to be seen as a radical, even as his wealth compounded.

In context, WUSTL has a $13+ billion endowment and earned solid returns as last reported: https://endowment.wustl.edu/about/endowment/

So while this may sound like it'll be in the case studies of ERP/CRM etc failed projects, which has some very memorable writeups, the judgement of failure/success is still out (or shd we say jury is out)

I am not familiar with it, but I was thinking about making an open source version of this, but using webRTC, to just directly allow peer-to-peer synchronization without a centralized server.

In this type of scenario there are a lot considerations to be made though, specifically since you can't use CRDT's to handle concurrent updates on the data you have to either 1) not allow offline use of the apps, 2) create a merge conflict resolving interface or 3) just overwrite all changes with the latest one.

Idk if people would be interested in this and I haven't been using my HTML tools for a while now, so it's just an idea, maybe someone else wants to work on.

So normally I would say markdown does not need a special editor. It is ascii in its heart. I understand the wish to render the markdown as a rich text. I use obsidian and its editor also offers such a hybrid mode. After using it for 1 month I switched to the explicit text mode and only use the rich mode if I like to present something to other people. Perhaps such a way could also benefit your editor?

I understand and I am happy that you guys enjoy things together! I was not trying to say that children was not meant to listem to rock or metal. I was just trying to say that it is a way to rebel for teens or young adults. The problem I am a bit afraid of a way my kids will be rebelling with against me, it won't be heavy metal because I am listening to heavy metal. Maybe it will be some pycho-folk-new-wave-electric-r&b or some other silly shit like that ;)

cannabis in many varieties and cannabinoids especially the most significant naturally made potentially aboundant and so theoretically cheaply sourceable receptors' agonist compound, namely delta-9-thc, when taken not occasionally i.e. within a continuous pattern of increasingly large quantities, in order to steadily reach without having to rise a too harsh steep slope, to plateau when the desired medical effect could manifest, in extracted purified forms, at high molar concentrations (up to and over 5-10 µM depending on different malignancies) have demostrated - albeit not in many practical human targeted clinical settings despite numerous studies dating back since 1974 and even more so in the last recent decades, have confirmed such potential usage - a strong antiproliferative, antineoplastic, antitumor, anticancer activity.

I've heard this before (and I don't have any reason to doubt your research) but I'm struggling to figure out why it would be the case.

Regulation 1016/2010 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2010/1016/oj/eng) is the thing that establishes the various requirements for home dishwashers. It's pretty straightforward (most of the content establishing how efficiency is calculated). It basically just requires the default program to be "suitable to clean normally soiled tableware and that it is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption for that type of tableware".

I could imagine some issues with how these numbers are calculated that reward "less efficient" devices or something like that, but it's pretty hard to figure out what that could be. Bit of a mystery!

There was a comment years/decades ago on slashdot about someone walking under a malfunctioning ceiling-hung security CRT TV, and feeling like they were hit on the head when they walked under it. The assumption was that the TV had an abnormally large magnetic field (or the person was particularly sensitive).

I’ve tried to replicate it, but my chances have become slim-to-none with CRTs going out of fashion.

TL;DR: An EU health data firm run by ex-military cryptographers offers a web portal for encrypting documents, which inherently exposes unencrypted documents to the company and US national security laws. The media outlet incidentally also doubts the trustworthiness of military veterans from Israel.

Even following the "if there's smoke there's fire" model, unclear there's a strong scent of "smoke" here. One could write a similar guilt-by-historical-association article concerning anyone, in the same position, really. Obviously if you're uploading a file to a 3d party website, the vendor has some technical access, this should be warned.

At $DAYJOB, we used to have a few internal use Azure Functions (which we’ve migrated to AWS Lambda). My favourite Azure weirdness was a warning message that said some Blob Storage-related thing was about to expire. We hadn’t set up any Blob Storage, the Azure Functions .NET deployment thing we used did. And apparently, there was an encryption key or something with an expiry of 1 year. It seems that Microsoft did not expect code to just work and not need to be redeployed for that long.

That is an excellent point!

That is why we have the IP to country level data available for free. As you have recognized the fact that country level data is good for security, we are willing to take a massive hit on potential revenue to allow everyone to use our country level data for free, even for commercial purposes. We literally built separate dedicated infrastructure that provides unlimited queries for our IP to Country data. We want to ensure that everyone has access to reliable data.

For us, based on active measurements, what we do is distribute IP addresses to more densely populated areas. The issue is that we are good at zip code level accuracy, but it is impossible for us to get street addresses correct for residential internet connections. Even if we get geographic coordinates fairly close to you, it is largely coincidental. Our accuracy radius goes as low as 5 KM.

However, consider hotels, conference centers, airports, train stations, etc., where large numbers of people gather and where there are a few public WiFi hotspots that usually remain in the same location. We can identify the exact building from those WiFi hotspot IP addresses.

We have approximately 1,200 servers in operation. Simply by knowing which data centers house our servers, we can reliably identify neighboring hosting IP addresses to the exact data center.

I avoided speaking before, but RATM is not what I associate with metal music.

I didn't want to gatekeep what others view it as, but "trve" metal music is still made in basements and garages by people with that are as far from capitalist consumption as you can get. Look at Encyclopedia Metallum, there are tens of new releases every day, and most of them barely get listeners - even when released on free/public places like Bandcamp. You can't reduce an entire subculture to its mainstream offshoots.

To quote a summery from https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2025/dec/14/...

* 12 people are confirmed dead, including 1 gunman. Police described the figures as an evolving situation. * 29 people have been transported to area hospitals in a range of conditions, but officials described the injuries are serious. That figure includes two police officers. * Chris Minns and Anthony Albanese described the shooting as a targeted attack on the Jewish community during the first day of Hanukah. * NSW police commissioner Mal Lanyon has designated the shooting a terrorist incident. * Lanyon said the gunmen used long arms. Police are investigating what’s believed to be several improvised explosive devices in a vehicle at Bondi beach. * Both Minns and Albanese have vowed to support the Jewish community and eradicate hate.

For context by number of deaths this is the second worse mass shooting in post WW2 Australian history.

It's not usual for PC, but if you select "remove animation" on Android you're good on 2 fps. Many applications do like crap as the first placeholders are given little attention, but there are only big refreshes, and only handful of apps written so bad that they ignore the setting and make animated placeholder.

The only thing is that you need to stick to Page Up/Page Down for scrolling.

I always enjoyed being a metal head, the music is the main reason of course (I like it), but the community is a very big aspect of it too.

I always thought about metal shows and festivals as a "safe space", where people can really be themselves, because you don't have to suffer judgmental remarks about what you wear, what you look like or what you listen to. And most people there get this and feel this as well, which is why the community feels so welcoming and chill. Plus as someone else posted here, it's also all a bit silly and I think most people get that as well.

I do agree with most of what you say (acid reflux is inherent to smoking in general, though; it's not specific to weed), but the point is that it's only problematic if it becomes a habit. It doesn't have to. If you were drinking as much as you were smoking, you would probably fare even worse, and I don't think alcohol has a lower potential for abuse; in fact, it is likely worse because it is not as strongly socially stigmatized.

Personally, I have rarely purchased weed myself, but I have consumed quite a bit because of many stoner friends. When they would share, I would never have the strength to refuse, but I could very much feel the impact the next day.

But I think that if you can manage the consumption just like you would do with alcohol, it's mostly fine. If you smoke a joint once every few weeks, the impact on your life is unlikely to be that bad. Of course the hard part is managing that, but it's true for alcohol as well…

Warm was great because it was lightweight and easy to target from any language and create any custom interaction API with the host. That's becoming less true as they bolt on features no one needed (GC) and popularize standardized interfaces that contain the kitchen sink (WASI) but these things can still be treated as optional so it can still be used for much more flexible use cases than java or .net

No. We’ve got masked goons kidnapping people and sending them to international labor camps. We’re indiscriminately bombing small fishing boats in distant international waters based on accusations of being drug smugglers, we’re stripping people of the already internationally recognized pathetic health insurance we have, we’re trying to hide as much information we can about our president’s close friendship with the most famous underage sex trafficker to have ever lived, we are illegally, unilaterally, tariffing our allies, we’re withholding release of basic economic reports, we’re openly accepting bribes from foreign actors …

But your insight is that American Football is precisely the same as basketball because: they both involve balls, there’s passing, there’s 2 teams, and hell, they both have field goals, and stadiums filled with spectators! Any fool who sees a difference is just looking too close. Thanks for sharing such wisdom. V helpful.

For you the rationale is "even if there was absolutely no car or traffic around".

For most Germans the rationale is "even if there was no car or traffic around, and no child could see me doing this", where the latter part is the most important one.

If you do it with friends and nobody is around, no problem. I often cross the street over a pedestrian crossing when the pedestrian light is on red and there are no children around, and I got scolded (very rarely, like less than 1%) but I don't care because it just might have been an unhappy or intolerant person, but that's definitely not the rule that people scold you for this. I don't think this is a German problem. I'm pretty sure if I'd do that in France it would have the same effect (maybe not in Paris).

In regards to your Nazi-comment: Of course we are aware of that it takes the majority of people to enable a slipping into Naziism, which is why we are so strict about it: No signs nor expressions used in that period are allowed to be used today, an Americans even scold us for caring about not "forgetting" what had happened (because we don't allow the signs or expressions, "freedom of speech").

So you saying "they like to pretend that it was only the bad guy Hitler's fault" indicates that you have no clue about how most Germans are.

From the 4 points he mentioned, the only one which would piss me off would be the last one, where he decides to spill the water in the trash bin. Who does that? What do they think when they do this? Why not just ask the security person where he can dispose it?

But the other 3, I can't explain why they scolded him; it's not normal.

The bigger problem is that this model is inherently flawed. Even if end-to-end encryption with browser crypto were implemented, there is never any security since the code in the browser can simply be swapped with compromised code that diverts the plaintext somewhere.

I've been forced to use this service, by way of healthcare professionals just disclosing correspondence to this service without asking for my consent.

Same age and while coming not from abuse but from difficult extreme-christian education I am torn between letting my parents have too much say in my life today. However as you say: I realise that my time with them is going to end and I don’t want them gone.

I get where you're coming from. But you'll likely get better results by starting fresh and letting it read key files or only just a summary of the project goals/spec. And then implement the next feature building up on the previous one. It's unlikely you'll need all the underlying code of the foundation in context to implement something that builds up on it - especially if interfaces are clean. Models still get dumber the more context is loaded, and the usable window isn't all that big, so starting fresh gives best results usually. I try to avoid compaction in any way possible, and I rarely continue the session after compaction, for that reason.

Mine is 24 lines long. It has a handful of stuff, but does refer to other MD files for more specifics when needed (like an early version of skills.)

This is the meat of it:

## Code Style (See JULIA_STYLE.md for details) - Always use explicit `return` statements - Use Float32 for all numeric computations - Annotate function return types with `::` - All `using` statements go in Main.jl only - Use `error()` not empty returns on failure - Functions >20 lines need docstrings ## Do's and Don'ts - Check for existing implementations first - Prefer editing existing files - Don't add comments unless requested - Don't add imports outside Main.jl - Don't create documentation unless requested

Since Opus 4.0 this has been enough to get it to write code that generally follows our style, even in Julia, which is a fairly niche language.
