That's reflation. Looking at YoY doesn't work when the previous year was an exceptional deflation.
You make a strong argument for recreational cat use, but I can't say I'm fully convinced.
A bit off-topic but I haven't always been super happy with NPR's reporting recently.

The most eyebrow-raising moment: there was one front-page article published around the time of the election with a headline including a quote like (iirc) "We're in a real civil war". A headline like that just seems designed to spark violence. (BTW, they did later change the title to something less inflammatory)
My guess is they see they are close to something very big with language models and want to invest everything there
Can you show an example of someone being banned somewhere for this? If anything I can see people being banned for pushing any number of conspiracy theories when what they're actually doing is pushing a racist agenda of some kind.
Just tried same video delegating DNS to Google's open resolver, aka 8.8.8.8, and within first 15 seconds I had a popup ad.

What you say is accurate but that's not an explanation of why I see no ads. I use a local proxy in a unique, customised configuration that improves my UX.

If I use third party DNS such as Google and stop using a proxy, I too will see those annoying Grammarly ads. Thats why I come up with workarounds.
Yep that’s why Clojure is dominating the software industry. Not.
Not in any substantial numbers, though someone gets upset about anything. Lots of people get upset when you assume without any evidence beyond the existence of different social outcomes that brain differences between sexes must be the explanation.
This seems to be a restatement of one of those communism things.

Not really. In most job stats I've seen Clojure is ahead of Elixir.
You're certainly right that lots of very large companies go to every conceivable length to keep you from ever finding a human being, even for an online chat, forget a live phone conversation. Their "contact us" page is nothing but an FAQ.

Is legislation or regulation the answer? That would be unfortunate. The government rarely makes things better, but to be honest, those accident investigation boards probably DO prevent management from sweeping things under the rug.

Some kind of consumer ratings for Quality of Service will have to spring up. You can now find ratings of airlines for their on-time record and likelihood of losing your baggage. We need something similar for web companies.
Our final pivot at Be was HARP, the Home Audio Reference Platform, which we thought would be a killer reason to use BeOS. It was not a success.
To me this boils down to the hard part of concurrency is shared memory.
Now that you mention it, you might as well train them all in one location. It's Spy vs. Spy all the way down.
Dealing with this many languages is difficult. I recently worked on a project where many of the languages were not supported by Windows, so the locale information wasn't easily selectable as resource files in ASP.NET.

If translating content to 1000+ languages interests you, the JWs have released, at times, some articles explaining how they achieve simultaneous publishing in 1034 languages using a piece of software from Oxford called MEPS [ https://www.jw.org/en/choose-language ].
Toxoplasma is an interesting subject but this reads like a cross between a link roundup and someone's paranoid and somewhat delusional un-edited notes. Some sections are 20% bolded. Some parts read like this:

> [bolded, note capitalization] The first thing you should do is to See It, Get to Know It. Become Aware.

> Be conscious of its existence and get to know the facts. Stay curious and inquisitive. Do not feed it with fear or frenzied emotional displays. Calm and discipline your emotions. Use your intelligence and ability to contemplation, inquiry, and discernment. Embrace your universal right to a consciousness that is yours. Your free will is beyond anything else and no one/nothing but You are in control. It is a choice.

> [block quote] Tg is the best news since it was discovered that bacteria are the culprit in many infections. If we solve the Tg problem we can reduce the disease burden. It can only get better from here.

It gets less intelligible as you get to the end. If this wasn't written in 2018 I'd assume it was GPT-3 output.

huh, guess I'll have to break it down Barny style: you are effectively trying to wave a bloody shirt with the "think of the creators" bit. If your system of morals allows you to deny Youtube advertisement revenue on the basis of an aversion to invasive spying, then the "creators" aren't victims - they're collaborators in the spying. Of course not all of them draw advertising revenue...

> I still think it's unethical to serve monetized content without paying the original "collaborator".

So you're not even going to seek the refuge of "their payment is the free bandwidth" argument and admit that Youtube is screwing a lot of people over?

> ...but you should have the right to enforce agreements whose nonenforcement would harm only you.

lol, "harm". Sure, you have a legal right to argue over the definition of "harm" - but you know you've retreated from "ethical" to "legal", right?
How did your brain infection occur, if you don’t mind me asking?
It’s fine for 250 miles range entry level electric cars. That’s equivalent to top of the line 5-10 years ago. Barely qualifies for “pretty range limited.”
I'm bullish on it and AI-assisted programming in general.

One can find something imperfect yet simultaneously believe strongly in it.

Looking Glass: Run a Windows VM on Linux in a window with native performance
Hey! At the end of the day, almost everyone (save a few) are motivated by money but manage to shroud that motivation with a 'making the world a better place' story.

Having said that, building a business with the aim to make money is perfectly fine. One person's goal is no lesser than the other. And the ultimate goal of a Business? To make money anyway.

Here's the one thing you need to get right - no matter why you build a business.

- what is the problem that your target customers are facing, that's painful enough that they seek a solution, but their problem is not being solved well through existing options.

Find this, serve it, and you'll build a profitable business.
Come on, every language community says that about itself. Rust is the latest "amazing" community.
Interesting. Never heard of them. Maybe they should do more marketing videos like Boston Dynamics :)

Literacy at what level?

From your first source: "In 1940, more than half of the U.S. population had completed no more than an eighth grade education." The manual had to be written at 8th grade level (at most) in order to be easily understood by more than 50% of the army.
The author does say that it's problematic, but the relevant paragraphs only say that they are unexpected and then mixed the discussion with what would or wouldn't be more natural.

The sentence you quoted is there to give context so I could give the example and the rest of the information. In retrospect, I probably should have used a quote. I apologise if you feel offended.
> Gene sequence similarity, phylogeny, and local divergence of sequence composition indicate that many of their genes were assimilated from methane-oxidizing Methanoperedens archaea. We refer to these elements as “Borgs”.

These elements are named due to the feature of being assimilated, seems like a star trek reference here. :)

They sell games that work in Linux, what is there to "pretend"?

I disagree that they "should" have a Linux client, for the reasons I explained. I don't have a use for such a client, and as such, I'm happy to ignore it (and love that it isn't mandatory, unlike Steam).

I've never received support from Steam for any technical issue. I'm resourceful and if there's a way, I'll make it work; but almost every help I needed with Steam games was taken from user's forums, within and outside Steam.

Case in point: I learned browsing Steam's forums that the Linux version of The Eternal Castle is glitchy and in many cases the keyboard input doesn't work at all; one user helpfully suggested just using the Windows version using Wine or Proton; this suggestion worked.

> Itch.io has a Linux client, by the way

Good for them! I hope it's optional, since I've no use for it.

What I love about Humble Bundle and GOG is that their games (mostly) don't try to take over your games collection, unlike Steam. I do use Steam and support Valve, but I'd prefer Steam was optional.
The people who aren't outright nazis will vote one in while either lying to you and I or lying to themselves about doing so. The threat of the rise of the original Nazi party in Germany did not turn on the majority of its boosters wanting to burn Jews and other victims like toast. It turned on them being first willing to overlook violent rhetoric and then later willing to cower in fear lest they themselves join the victims.

Absolutely the entire right are Nazis, collaborators, on their way out politically.
One of the big reasons, in my opinion, for Clojure failing to fulfill its potential as a mainstream language. Clojure had SO much going for it then it just flatlined. Sad indeed and very much down to its stewardship.
I remember when even the el cheapos in Frys had 5 year warranties. Hitachi umtrastars still have 5 year warranties but are harder to get for non-commercial uses.
The article has a picture of the dotted line. It doesn’t appear to be a contour map at all.
“ Snopes does not seek to prove or disprove a laboratory origin for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.”

So… the headline was clickbait or just misdirection?
Rather than going straight to meta by decrying downvoters, a better way to rescue unfairly (in your opinion) greyed out comments is: 1. upvote it yourself (which I'm sure you did) 2. reply to it engaging with its content. This could be simple agreement, or even better, acknowledgement of a good argument, good phrasing, or interesting/under-addressed perspective.

Sometimes, the model of your engagement can speak more to how you think others should act than stating your opinion explicitly. At least that's where you should start. There be dragons in meta, don't invoke the dragons if there's still another way.
This is great! And I like the site design, to. It works on mobile as long as I remember to keep my thumb away from the edge so I don't just scroll the outer page.

But you don't mention the connection to Google Noto. I had to look it up. It's a font (family) that has extremely wide coverage of glyphs for different languages.
wouldn’t you be using perlin noise based textures for that?
Hmm, being able to narrow down the scope would be useful, e.g. have a series of checkboxes for Latin, Greek, math symbols, etc. (presumably pi would be eligible if you check either Greek or math)
I'm sure those people appreciate your thoughts.
I don't see how you can have political confrontation without optimism, or at least a desire for change to circumstances that allows optimism.
Because it's cheaper to have fewer employees.
I wonder if it could be combined with a tool like Path of Exile uses. They draw very rudimentary maps (River here, N bridges, etc) and then the tooling generates the level around those constraints.

The article is confusing (confused?), mixing up different concepts like containerisation and active/active database configuration while not even going into detail but only mentioning concepts in passing by. I don't get the point.
From the original paper they hint that the name comes from the "assimilated" feature, which does seem like a star trek reference after all.

But what if the data setup is convoluted? How does one avoid a horrific domino stack of fixtured data?
It's funny that people expect management to function better because it's employee-owners of a capitalist corporation, instead of feudal lords or members of a communist central committee.
The Software Freedom Conservancy and Software Freedom Law Centers are perhaps best known for copyleft enforcement, particularly regarding Busybox. They serve as copyright enforcers to well-known projects such as Git, GNOME, QEMU, Boost, Selenium, and Twisted.

The Free Software Foundation also does GPL Enforcement.

Not to scare you, but I know a power plant operator who has that issue on its plant operations system. It's pretty amazing.

I know another company where anyone in the company, anyone at all with a login into account in the Active Directory SSO of any privilege at all, even a janitor, can sign any code they want with the release keys.

Nobody cares.
The invidious repo is very active though, does an official release actually matter?
>is this level of robot automation expected of modern manufacturing companies nowadays?

"FANUC, a Japanese robotics company, has been operating as a lights-out factory since 2001. Robots are building other robots at a rate of about 50 per 24-hour shift and can run unsupervised for as long as 30 days at a time. "Not only is it lights-out," says Fanuc vice president Gary Zywiol, "we turn off the air conditioning and heat too."

> Businesses that fail to make these evil, exploitative things called "profits" cease to exist, and provide no jobs for anyone.

Good. If businesses require the state to subsidize their workers rent and food, they deserve to go out of business.
Blaming the WHO is what conspiracy theorists have been doing to drown out reputable people, who are debunking the ivermectin/covid19 hoax.

Do you have a source for this claim? There are plenty of mental health disorders (in the DSM-V) that are tied to one gender or another. Whether these are grounded in some physiological basis or serve to re-affirm social expectations is a whole other story.
"I’m not a scientist — so this is a layman’s perspective. Please do your own research and do not take my words face value. I discovered Toxoplasma because my son has bipolar disorder and my daughter has diabetes Type 1. It was my research in these serious conditions that introduced me to the subject."

You can literally get two sticks and go try it yourself. It works.

Honestly this is the problem, you'll mindlessly consume media telling you things don't work. But it would cost you nothing to literally try it yourself and see that they're lying to you.
I don't see it as a retreat, I'm using a different conceptual framework because we don't agree on the meaning of "ethical".

I agree that under your moral system, it's not wrong to deny the creators value, but that's sort of just a restatement of the fact that we disagree on the acceptability of ads in the first place.

In general I don't assign the label "unethical" to something unless I'm aware of a convincing case that the thing causes more harm than good, harm without appropriate equity, violates some other axiomatic principal that I agree to, etc. I just haven't heard a convincing case that ads meets any of those criteria.
I think this sort of experience brings out awareness, care, attentiveness, which we have depended on for survival, but societal environments seem to discourage in favor of timeliness.
One that comes to mind is Cory Doctorow's Walkaway[1]

The book “Sapiens” does a good job of balancing the two views. In other words, like most things in this world, empires had good and bad consequences. You choose how much you value/dislike the good/bad.
Google makes billions! every year putting ads on illegally copied copyrighted videos. Sure, they will take them down if the claim is made (especially by the big players) but for sure they are not going to return any money made. Some kid doing an small tool is wont to make 0.00000000001% at best. You are the juggler defending the rich baron stealing from everybody.

This guy is one of those lowkey nuts on the Internet — just lowkey, but, still a nut. Oh, sure, it's quite possible he's right that the world should pay it more attention as a public health matter, but bringing Jungian archetypes into the matter is a sign we've left science behind for woowoo feelings. The accompanying argument trying to justify this saying 'it affects the nervous system and evolved with it' is technically true — but without a meaningful mechanism of influence remains just an excuse to be sloppy with his reasoning.

And to be clear, there is no mechanism. Our author writes: "Parasitism is an expert in stealth and distortion. To avoid discovery." A cell-sized organism that evolved over 10,000 years or whatever didn't do so with the specific goal of affecting how people reason about topics in twenty-first century medicine, which could threaten it with exposure. That's a pretty good SCP Foundation antimeme story, sir, but is quite implausible for a protozoan.
No one cares. Back to your cagie, wagie.
Oh don’t get me wrong I customize things. I have just moved on from customizing parts of a Linux distro. At some point I want to customize things that make more of an impact on the real world.
True, but really, it's not that much work. News media needs to get back to true journalism. (Sorry to soapbox, I just hate the state of "news" these days)
I've been misled a number of times by Google Maps driving directions to places that can only be ultimately reached on foot, because in general it tends to route to the nearest drivable location by straight line distance and not necessarily the starting point of a usable/preferred walking route. Which seems to be what happened here. I don't usually attempt walking regardless, though!
Same sentiments. Stuff coming out when you follow the patents is quite brutal. And this quote from Peter Daszak in 2015, and reported in the National Academies Press on February 12, 2016, in which he declared: ‘We need to increase public understanding of the need for medical counter-measures such as a pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media, and the economics will follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage, to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process.’

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Google should not do that. It's bad that Google does that. It's also bad when others do it.

However, Google is spending a lot of money trying to do that less. The difference in motivation and intention is important.

If you have ever thought, "why hasn't the CIA done this before?" then they probably have.

It's like laymen discussing algorithmic finance. "Why don't people just trade the mean reversion?" They've been trading mean reversion since you were in diapers.

It's important to remember the Dunning Kruger effect regarding intelligence agencies like the CIA, those in the business of what's known and unknown, because their job is to keep you and everyone else in the world on the wrong side of the curve.
EU members aren’t fully sovereign. Some sovereignty is surrendered when joining the EU:

> "The EU law has primacy over national law and all decisions by the European Court of Justice, including orders for interim measures, are binding on member states’ authorities and national courts,” chief spokesperson Eric Mamer said.

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/eu-court-pola...

Also, a Eurozone country can’t abandon with Euro without leaving the EU.

The context here is comparing the the EU with the British Empire.

Statements like “The EU law has primacy over national law” make it pretty clear what it means to be a member of the EU.
George Saunders is a national treasure.
Of course you are. Unless somebody threatens to physically invade your country, your country can do whatever it wants. However there might obviously be trade/export/import sanctions etc.

I write my own css for my statically generated website (andrewzah.com). The problem with bootstrap etc is exactly that they’re aimed at being generic. They’re not specific enough to do what I want quite how I want it… and there’s the burden of learning them.

It’s a lot easier to start with a good, semantic html structure and come up with exactly the CSS that one needs, rather than continually fight a system aimed at no one in particular.

Not to mention the bloat of unnecessary CSS/JS that you don’t actually need.

The author of the article contacted many people who has received the seeds and all of them found they had ordered seeds online in their Amazon purchase history and forgotten about it. It was early in the pandemic and there was a run on seeds. The seeds showed up months late and they didn’t connect the seeds received with the seeds ordered. Most didn’t realize they were ordering seeds from a Chinese seller.

One person was part of a seed gifting group.
