Takes up space without adding any substance.

Jokes aside, that space before the / exists as a habit because Internet Explorer couldn't handle tags like <br/>, so in order to have valid XML that worked in IE as well you would do <br />.

Completely pointless nowadays of course, although I do like the / for single elements. It's kind of nice to be able to write HTML5 and XML both with roughly the same syntax.

Not the basic one as it is the same for everyone and prices are mandated by the government, but the premium packages do. For instance, you can add to your package that were you to spend nights at the hospital you'd like a private room. If you have an existing condition that makes it more likely that you'll end up spending nights at the hospital you need to pay more for said premium package.
When I first started, I was in a room with 8-9 people who knew each other well. They talked a lot. I was given a task that I found challenging but the most challenging part was focusing on the task at hand.

My solution was to listen to one of various white noise videos on YouTube, my favorites were storms and rain.

I agree that about 5 people in a room is a perfect fit. Team sized. Open spaces were too distracting.
As long as you aware that the friend is imaginary, perhaps. If it gets to real, I'd say it is a mental illness.

Regarding pricing: It's $5 dollar/3 months for all three services and it gives you 10 accounts. So it's actually $2/user/year. Mind you, this is a "soft launch" pricing (as you could see, plenty of work to be done there) and my idea is to grandfather in the first 100 signups. Once I iron out the most critical bugs, I am working with the idea of charging $1/month ($10/year) for single users and $6/month ($60/year) for the 10-user package.
There's an important difference between loneliness and being alone. I'm slightly sceptical of how healthy this Tulpa concept is because I don't think the answer to loneliness is necessarily literally conjuring up another person.

Loneliness can be used as an opportunity for people to explore their own mind. Why they get anxious if they're lonely, how to be more comfortable without someone else around, and how to confront uncomfortable states of mind without deflecting.

Given that a Tulpa is obviously not real and already part of the person who invents it I'm not sure if compartmentalizing that way is a good thing.

I enjoy the tone because it seems genuine. As with almost everything, I view it as their opinion, not fact. It might not apply to you or many others, but their experience likely explains their perspective.
In my experience this is absolutely wrong. Context switching is one of those essentials that you cannot cheat or improve upon. It’s like assuming that if I walk to work often enough, eventually it won’t burn any calories because I got so good at it.

The issue of filling waiting time is understandable, but recognizing the cost of switching to various tasks can still be useful in determining how to fill your time. Something that doesn’t take you out of what you were already doing will always be better than something completely unrelated and possibly information-loaded.

“We were instructed to throw away all the food at the end of day”
In my experience, the output from GPT-3, DALL-E, et al is similar to what you get from googling the prompt and stitching together snippets from the top results. These transformers are trained on "what was visible to google", which provides the limitation on their utility.

I think of the value proposition of GPT-X as "what would you do with a team of hundreds of people who can solve arbitrary problems only by googling them?". And honestly, not a lot of productive applications come to mind.

This is basically the description of a modern content farm. You give N people a topic, ie "dating advice", and they'll use google to put together different ideas, sentences and paragraphs to produce dozens of articles per day. You could also write very basic code with this, similar to googling a code snippet and combining the results from the first several stackoverflow pages that come up (which, incidentally, is how I program now). After a few more versions, you could probably use GPT to produce fiction that matches the quality of the average self published ebook. And DALL-E can come up with novel images in the same way that a graphic designer can visually merge the google image results for a given query.

One limitation of this theoretical "team of automated googlers" is that what they search for content is cached on the date of the last GPT model update. Right now the big news story is the Jan 6th, 20201 insurrection at the US Capitol. GPT-3 can produce infinite bad articles about politics, but won't be able to say anything about current events in real time.

I generally think that GPT-3 is awesome, and it's a damn shame that "Open"AI couldn't find a way to actually be open. At this point, it seems like a very interesting technology that is still in desperate need of a Killer App
Deliveroo secures $180m in funding as it prepares for IPO
The Impact of Disclosing Sex Secrets on Romantic Relationships
Rarely have I read an article with such a perfect balance between a premise I agree with an examples I do not. But I think this illustrates something important: what constitutes a context switch is not universal. It depends on what parts of a task you need to think about.

In the kitchen, from long practice, I do not have to think about prep, technique, or washing up. There are no decisions I need to make for those tasks. They take very little attention. This frees me to spend my focus on the more abstract goals of what I want to cook, and for me it is not a context switch to wash a bowl while an onion is sauteeing. I can certainly cook while keeping the kitchen clean more efficiently than I could cook and then clean it. But when I was first cooking, it was a context switch to go from chopping an onion to chopping a carrot. Both tasks required my attention and focus.
The article indirectly pointed out that the reason for previous overestimate was model error about solar system light background.

How to build “Selbst-Bewusstsein”: My new favorite German Word
Deploy your own Matrix server on Fedora CoreOS
If you're terrified of losing your job, the first thing to do is look for another job, maybe a different field or higher level and higher salary. Give yourself a promotion.

Even if it's similar job at same salary, the point is to go through the process to get an offer in reasonable time. When you get the offer, you can decline the offer, if you're happy with current company.

I recommend everyone go through the job search process at least once a year or more.

Job search process takes skills, like everything else. It's much better to sharpen the interview loop skills while you're currently employed. You can take the time to analyze areas for improvements and learn the patterns in job search, interview loop process.

Good luck.
Mind blown. That is actually true. Of course, even banks don't get to have completely risk-free investments when they give out a mortgage loan, but its close enough, especially when central banks are driving interest rates into the dirt, driving up the price of real estate and reducing the amount of interest the bank has to pay.
Yes. I think it has to do with the sheer amount of precise information needing to be kept in working memory to be able to complete the tasks. Switching tasks means lots of bandwidth wasted exchanging that information.

Not to be cynical, but nobody at your work is looking out for you, with the exception of people you’ve developed a relationship with that doesn’t revolve around work.

Your manager? They will throw you under the bus if it comes to that.

HR? Will throw you under the bus if it comes to that.

That’s just the way it is. I’m not bitter about it, but despite all the “we’re a big family” talk, it’s a business. I think everyone would be better served if we were just honest about it.

What the web could be (in 2021 and beyond) (transcript)
If volts were there only limitation on the design that would be correct, however amps are also important in this case. A 240V UK wall socket can be up to 13 amps whilst a US 110V line is 12 amps.

With power (watts) being volts * amps that gives the power of 3120 Vs 1320 watts for UK Vs USA respectively.

This means a UK kettle can dump heat into the water up to 2.4 times faster so should boil in less than half the time.

Kettles are at the high end of power consumption as generally people want a fast boil. Lights are towards the low end as its rare for someone to want even 1000 watts of incandescent brightness.
So the EFF, an organization I thought stood for promoting digital freedom, is essentially promoting proprietary software? Looks questionable to me.

Yes, I had to read that a second time, at first I thought the judge was talking about the airport officials not doing their job, apparently being too afraid to take a flight back home because of a global pandemic makes you a "danger to the community" now?

Slightly related to this, who's judging the judges? I know about the whole theoretical discussion of the judiciary being independent and only from time to time being check-and-balanced by some mythical creature (the executive/the legislative/the press), my question is who's actually checking-and-balancing this county judge who obviously is blaming the victim?
The way they framed it is such BS. If he’s a danger to passengers, so are any passengers passing through such “secure area.” It’s not like he snuck in.
It is not about theft it is about lawsuits. With all kind of health codes abound donating food is very costly and complicated process that opens you up for liability etc.
He's not a Nazi although he's willing to ally with them, but I believe he is a Fascist, on the basis that he has nothing but contempt for democracy and the rule of law (among other things).

He pulled exactly the same 'stop the steal' crap in 2016, claiming massive voter fraud then as well, as a pre-emptive strike in case he lost. But hang on, if he actually believed there was massive voter fraud, how come he did nothing about it for four years eve when he controlled both houses? Where were his reforms of the voting system, increased supervision of voting and vote counting? why no improvements to ballot security and statistical analysis to identify the fraud (the current analyses show it's negligible). If he actually believed what he is saying about vote fraud, why didn't he act on it?

He did nothing about this for two reasons. First he knows there isn't any significant vote fraud, this is well established and was not a partisan issue before he started talking about it. Second, if he reformed voting security, he would become responsible for preventing any potential fraud and would be unable to blame failings in the system on anyone else, taking away his excuse.

Yes! One of my best travel hacks was to buy a "key ring" pocket sharpener. I found myself staying in Airbnbs (back when that was a thing) with terrible knives. It's a pain to travel with your own knife through airport security though. But you can bring a sharpener and it makes a huge difference even with a poor quality knife.
Induction cooking plates are the same (with magnetic pots, pans and so on, otherwise won't work(at all)), regarding the immediacy.

When I got my first, I've been curious and experimented with water. Depending on the model they have sensor buttons where you can raise/lower the temperature in 10 to 20°C steps.

Mine have 10°C steps, where with water in a pot at 90°C the first few small bubbles start to rise, like in soda/mineral water. When at 100°C the big boiling bubbles start after about 2 to 3 seconds.

Mine are rated at 2500 Watts each, have segmented induction coils where the outer segments switch off with smaller pots, are plan like a mirror and thus very easy and fast to clean.

I'm such a fan! :-)

i bought an onyx boox nova3 last month and you can install the play store on it which means you might be able to use some apps (not all will work well with eink or the custom android ui that they use.

the idea i had was to mostly manage adding and removing books/articles from my laptop or phone and then have them sync across to the ereader using syncthing. (mainly because its slower to do any of that from an eink)

im using a firefox extension that saves articles to epub. i think there are android apps where you can do something similar through the share menu. but i might just try out wallabag next which is like pocket/read-it-later and then install the wallabag app on my ereader

anyway, I've only messed around with it for a few days but I'm liking it so far, i just have to figure out why syncthing isnt syncing in the background. resilio sync or others like dropbox, google drive might work either. for the moment i just need to open them syncthing app to activate a sync

To be pendantic: Nobody today uses LZ77. LZ77 is quite primitive and not very efficient. However, nearly everyone today uses an algorithm that is descended from LZ77, so "LZ77" is just a sort of shorthand for "any algorithm descended from LZ77". LZMA and Zip's deflate are both examples of LZ77 descendants.

(To be even more pedantic, all modern algorithms are descendants of LZSS, which was one of the first improvements on LZ77.)

Out of the ones you listed, only .Z and .bz2 are not LZ77-LZSS descendants.

.Z is an implementation of LZW, which is a descendant of LZ78, which is a significantly different (but still related) algorithm to LZ77. It never really caught on beyond a few implementations of LZW, though.

.bz2 is the only one completely unrelated to Ziv's work. It uses the Burrows-Wheeler transform, instead.
Given the current state of the world, perhaps it's not a good thing that philosophical thinking has taken a backseat.
Preparing the ingredients is good advice at home too. Otherwise you forget things or use the wrong amounts. Have everything in small bowls ready to go in, then start cooking proper.

And yes an onion can be chopped in seconds. There are youtube videos on it. Worth learning.
Exactly this.

Look, I think that it's acceptable considering the fact that the whole system is supply-constrained. Prioritizing healthcare workers, teachers, the elderly isn't just a theoretical optimization in Israel - it's a working one too. The only way it would be faster is if there wasn't a supply constraint. The fact that the whole world is mucking up doesn't mean that our model is some kind of ideal, and I certainly don't think that it's the right model for the US, for the reasons I listed.

"It’s a bitter pill for the self-sovereignty maximalists to swallow, but third party custodians will always exist: it’s more convenient for traders, the technophobic and the lazy to simply have their magic internet money held on their behalf.
Entrusting an exchange with your cryptocurrency, however, carries with it a significant amount of counterparty risk. Not only are you hoping that the service’s security is ironclad enough to defend from cyberattacks (easier said than done, by the looks of things), but you’re also working on the assumption that the company behind the exchange isn’t misleading you.
One of the trade-offs you make when you relinquish control over your coins (aside from control itself, that is) is the loss of your ability to verify the existence and ownership of those UTXOs."
Fine, but it seems to be going deeper than that.

Pretty often your peers are not your coworkers. They're your compworkers (or againstworkers). You'd think they would want to compete with your company's competitors and make things easy with you.
