I believe this tech is already quite established. My favorite food of this type was quorn (product name), which is sadly not available in my country anymore. You might need some spices to make it interesting, but that is also true for mass produced meat.

I remember a case where pupils in Britain were given quorn instead of meat, because it was cheaper. I completely understand the anger that came afterwards, the schools should have been transparent with this. But it also shows that it can be produced quite economically.

I think a problem with many mycelium (plural?) was that it can contain a small amount of lactose and some people might be allergic to the proteins itself. Otherwise I would recommend it. Perhaps not as a meat substitute, but certainly as something you can eat.

> If you compare it with other games, playing against an engine is a huge disadvantage but will not fundamentally change the structure of the game. You are still playing chess, but against a superhuman opponent

It wastes your time. Playing against a human is a different experience. If you actually wanted to practice against an engine, you would do so knowingly. With some possible benefits such as takebacks etc. (since computer is not a rival, just a training tool).

It wastes your rating points - if you play rated games. Obviously not everyone does, or cares about their online rating; but I do to an extent. For one, while rating isn't a goal in and of itself, it's still a convenient form of tracking my progress, and cheaters distort this measure.

Finally, it wastes your nerves. However insignificant this may be in the scheme of things, I think that most people still dislike being cheated or lied to (in any way or form) simply out of principle, and find that frustrating.
Sure. But my whole point is that all the other reasons are not legitimate, the whole point of blocking + is to cover the company's ass, there's no legitimate potential issues with notification, or even to prevent errors. It's just BS rationalisation.

I put day trading in the same category as betting on horse races.

There's punters who make good money on the horses, just like there's investors who make good money day trading, but most casual punts are little better than random guesswork.
This is great advice. Something that somewhat helps me is thinking "you're out on a run, you've already won". Though I'm still insanely competitive and I still end up pushing myself, at least I don't care that much about Strava times anymore.

Most ideas don't require 100s of programmers, so the cost saving is minimal

The Journal system is basically academic job protection for wealthier countries, but this factor is never talked about aloud, as it is a) unscientific and anti-enlightenment behavior and b) exposes the hypocrisy that is creating loads of competition for unskilled labor, while crippling the competition for mental labor.

So why not call the system what is? The guild of knowledge.

Well at least you weren't part of the November 2020 launch day fanatics which was beyond chaotic with tons of issues being discovered by the hour. This is what they didn't tell you.

Then you would be waiting 6 months instead of 3 months for the software to be stable to actually do your work properly. That's why I skipped the M1 hype altogether, since the software available is still immature.

I tried giving out this warning to M1 power users here, but was immediately downvoted anyway by the fanatics. But I defied against the hype squad and was right again.

My “hack” that I wish someone had told me when I started running: focus on Zone 2 training. Super slow and easy with zero pain afterward. Ever since I started doing that, my distances have gone up significantly, I feel better afterward, and consequently don’t dread the run or procrastinate.
In Norway (and I guess most of Europe) the manufacturer's warranty is often useless for lots of products, as the state mandated protection is much stronger. I don't care if a headset I buy comes with 1 year warranty, because the law gives me 5 years.

And I think it's a good thing environmentally. Because a consumer cannot really know how durable a product is, so producers try to lower prices by reducing quality. Which makes it so that one has to buy new stuff more often, leading to lots of waste. But these laws solves that, the cost of a bad quality product cannot be hidden and passed on to the consumer.

The authors of these often publicly funded research works don't actually make money, publishing companies like Elsevier do.

Hands on a hot stove get burns. That's universally not wanted, and an objective health hazzard.

Whether Audacity's telemetry is a problem, or whether the fuss about it is mere hysteria for quite basic error and usage reporting, is up to the user to decide. Alarmist headlines and "Remove it ASAP" (Really? Do you have an alternative for me to use? Do you know whether I might not have 200 much worse privacy wise programs I use anyway and could not care less?) doesn't help.

Is this really that hard to parse?
At the end of the day it's akin to the "true randomness" problem. How do you prove a random numbers generator isn't truly, or fully random? Or that chess moves are "truly human", and not computed by an engine. You can only approach this probabilistically.

I also think the cheating detection algorithms can be beated, and I believe I could do that. Why do they still serve their purpose, more often than not?

To me, it's inherently linked to the very nature of online cheating. It's essentially a futile, nonsensical activity. The only gratification is an illusion of intellectual superiority, whose worthlessness is so transparent that it can only attract people who don't get to experience the sense of intellectual superiority pretty much anywhere else. As harsh as it may sound, your average cheater is rather stupid. That's why it isn't really difficult to catch 90% of them.

I don't rule out there are some cheaters who do it out of intellectual curiosity, but that would be a statistical outlier.
I'm talking about the game. In reality, stocks don't have a maximum value.

"The 1981 Brink's robbery was an armed robbery and three related murders committed on October 20, 1981, which were carried out by six Black Liberation Army members: Mutulu Shakur, Kuwasi Balagoon, Solomon Bouines (Samuel Brown), Mtayari Shabaka Sundiata, Edward Joseph, and Cecilio "Chui" Ferguson;[1] and four former members of the Weather Underground, now belonging to the May 19th Communist Organization, consisting of David Gilbert, Judith Alice Clark, Kathy Boudin, and Marilyn Buck.[2]"

Not being perfect would be acceptable, but at this point it looks like something with the potential of setting back software quality and security [1], with the added bonus of also breaking copyright/licensing.

[1] I understand that everyone should review code before committing, but even if me and my team do it, there's no way all the proprietary and open-source software I use has teams doing the same. That's why I worry for my security.
Why is EE so bad? On the surface it looks like a degree with a strong grounding in mathematics, exposure to programming, the discipline of engineering, and a diverse range of applications across industry. It kind of seems like the ideal degree if you want to hire someone. I'm always baffled when I hear stories like this.
I think there are many more examples of this. Of course the ready to use product is in focus here.

Blender, Krita, Gimp, LibreOffice...

I think all these are at least as good as their commercial pendants today. If you don't like lock-in via cloud, they are even superior for most users.

But underlying that is so much essential open source software that today is absolutely essential. Without open source software the pipeline for new developers would also be significantly inhibited. It would be a total disaster without it.

What's the point of having laces if you leave them tied up all the time? Aren't the shoes too loose? Why don't you wear loafers instead?
I never understood why people force themselves to do exercise that they don't want to do.

Running seems to be the default option because it doesn't require any equipment beyond shoes and you can do it almost anywhere. I've heard so many people sigh as they say 'I should really start running' or 'I need to sign up for the gym'. Why? You hated it last time you tried. What makes this time different?

There are tons of options. I often tell people to try a bunch of different sports and find something fun or interesting. It might take a while to find it, and a few tries to get into the habit of particpating. But it's worth it. Team and club sports are great ways to build some accountability with others too.

Live near water? Try joining the rowing team.

Like football (soccer)? Join a local 5-a-side team.

Basketball, mountain biking, strength sports, throwing, tennis... Watch the Olympics this year and watch some of the less-popular sports.

The benefit of choosing and participating in a sport is that you can then use other forms of exercise (like running, or lifting weights) as a means to improve your performance in that primary sport - which makes it more fun. You're working on a specific goal / metric. Rather than a loose goal of 'getting fit' or 'losing weight'.
Why does the DA refuse to prosecute? Prop 47 or not misdemeanors can easily earn a 6 month incarceration in case of a repeat offender. So these while obviously related it doesn't seem that Prop 47 is the big bad wolf here.
The judge is still out on the licensing issue. And given it can, at least sometimes, output verbatim copy paste, including comments, of well-known GPL code[0], well, let's just say the issue is not clear-cut.

If you combine

>In the more general event that you have rewards for all objects (if not, the reward-producing function can output zero), you would perform this weight update on all objects

with the following justification of its properties then it kind of seems like the guarantee that it gets close to the maximum reward only holds if:

1. You know the rewards for all options and update the weights accordingly

or

2. You consider the rewards for all options not taken 0 (in which case you trivially got the maximum reward possible).

This kind of seems to limit its applicability somewhat, unless I'm missing something?
I think the argument is that things like Firefox need to share some data with third parties to function correctly. The remote web server needs to know what page you want, your login details etc. That's not to say there's other things that Firefox does that isn't privacy focused, but it's accepted that Firefox has to share some data at some point to function.

Audacity, however, doesn't. It's a standalone application. It works on local files. It has worked perfectly fine like this for decades. And now a new owner has come in and changed that within weeks. That's not okay.

The same complaints are being made about other software doing similar. For example, Microsoft's attempt to make all Windows accounts online. We've had 30+ years of Windows without online accounts. Why should that change? and most importantly, why must it be forced upon unsuspecting users?

I do agree with you, though, that anybody can call it anything they want, and that doesn't make it true. But it's also fair to be suspicious of unnecessary changes that, on their own may seem innocuous, but together lead to something far worse.

No they did not, unless you count thirdparty browser addons as part of the web (which they are definitely not). And ActiveX is long gone.

If you are really worried about security, the answer today is still to avoid using native apps, they have more permissions and are harder to investigate than web apps.

But we all know this talk about "security" is just an excuse for corporate control, especially when the web just runs code on demand and is more secure.

I had the Sonos Beam with two Symfonisks for a few weeks. The problem with this soundbar is that you need the Sonos Sub for anything lower than 90Hz, but it's €800 where I live.

Also it has the same problem as most other soundbars: the front stage just isn't wide enough. With the Symfonisks you clearly have a left and right in the back, but everything from the front only comes from one direction. I didn't like that at all.

After some consideration I figured I didn't think the surround sound was that important to me. So I bought a second-hand (but modern) receiver and went to a nearby audio dealer and bought some big floorstanding speakers (Tannoy Platinum F6) and I haven't looked back since. Audio quality is great for a non-audiophile like me. It goes low enough without a sub for movies and music simply sounds amazing.

It cost me €900 in total, while the beam setup had cost me €650, so it is somewhat more expensive. Well worth it in my opinion, though.

For the purposes of environmental hazard, it isn't number of transactions that matter but number of miners. That in turn is going to depend on the expected payout to miners (either in value of new coin or in transaction fees).
