What's wrong with Kherson? It's occupied by Russia since the beginning of March. Is there any news about the outrages of the Russian army? Destroyed buildings and infrastructure? I'm really curious. Russian propaganda said that the city is preparing for a referendum and silent about the protests of civilians.
Very interesting! Cool dream too :) That suggests to me it may not be some inherent lack of capacity but more so the path to accessing that capacity that is the issue.

Makes me think that phantasia might be improved through frequent practice in something visual like arts or design. I wonder if any studies on aphantasics have been run that try to assess improvement. If pupillary contraction mentioned in this article is a good enough measure of aphantasia, that may serve as a way to measure improvements through practice.

I'm somewhat on the other end of the phantasic spectrum, I close my eyes and can design things, though the images don't hold super long or can't get too complex. I'm better at it later in the evening and on edibles. I've also been practicing design for ~30 years, and I can say it's definitely gotten easier to visualize some things over time and I attribute it to practice.

'Practice' here perhaps could also be 'noticing'. I remember I used to be really into Magic:TG and spent a lot of time admiring the artwork and design of cards, like being really obsessed with all the details. After doing all this noticing for some time I realized I could sometimes visualize new cards, so I would close my eyes and thumb through a deck, trying to visualize cards as fast as possible as a kind of test. My sense is I wouldn't be able to do that without all the practice I had training my brain on the features of the cards.
Has Discord become the dominant platform for bilateral messaging anywhere? I've never heard it being used outside of crypto and gaming chat rooms.
Might as well just use NixOS then.
This is an undeniable fact, not some "undergrad-tier bromide" as left-wing grifters dismiss it as.

Even now, after a century of failure, some dogmatic utopianists won't admit that their ideas don't work.

What is most tragic in all this is that it takes experimenting obviously bad ideas - whether it be socialism, or lockdowns - on billions of people, and producing hell on Earth, before a certain class of individuals will admit they are wrong.
But can we safely dispose of the micro black hole (say, by launching it into space) and how long do we have before it becomes too big to deal with?
I use the OS, but I guess my statement applies either way.
I mean it was the default environment on Ubuntu distros for years...I would say it was more forced than Snaps are.
That's not an obstacle; a lot of banks are getting around it by offering high-yield hybrid accounts that are checking behind the scenes, but have a savings-style interest rate.

For example, Sofi offers 1.25% right now; https://www.sofi.com/banking/
Song of the South is apologist towards slavery. It should rot.
Do they lose memory when switching personalities? I’d imagine it’d be awkward if one personality didn’t know they were dating someone.
Just refuse. Hold out for something better if you have any means to do so.
I was a forever android man since the beginning, but now I'm rocking an iphone. Apple's ecosystem makes it so easy to stay in it. Want to upgrade from a 12 to a 13? No problem they took my old phone and gave me a whopping 700 bux for it which basically paid for the new one.

Oh and I can pick it up in 30 minutes locally.

Android cannot match this level of integration.
It's frankly hilarious that you would jump directly to Marxism as if that was the only alternative. There's that great quote that has been floating around for a decade or two now: people find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. It has been normalized to the point where even reasonably intelligent and educated people have a difficult time imagining or even being aware of any alternative. That appears to include yourself.

Labor compensation as percentage of GDP since 1950:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LABSHPUSA156NRUG

That shows a near 16% drop in labor compensation as a percentage of GDP since its high in 1970.

The CSMonitor article you linked to cites 3 reasons for the dramatic drop in world poverty, with a move to "more market-based economic systems" about the closest thing they offer to "capitalism". Even that is really only half of that particular reason, since they also cite more democratic political systems.

The article is about the global war on poverty - it's about developments in countries far from the US economic order of things. So sure, at some point during the development of a capitalist economy, you will see a stronger correlation between productivity gains and wages. However, that's not the case in the USA since sometime in the late 20th century.
also: remember that [on the photos circulating on the internet] she is already ~3 meters deeper in the water comapared to the time of the [alleged] hit. Any huge hole next to the waterline would already be underwater and thus not visible.
> Microsoft used their monopoly (> 70% market share) in OS to go for a monopoly in many other things, includind web browser.

A monopoly in a market where the price of the product is zero /s .

It's incredible to me that people still think Netscape was wronged even though the market has shown for decades now that consumers are not willing to pay for browsers.

Consumers want to be able to get on the internet as soon as they start their brand new computer.

Microsoft saw that and provided a solution, whereas Netscape went to cry to the feds as opposed to recognize that their business model was flawed and pivot.

If you are stubborn not even the feds can save you, and in fact fast forward Microsoft is a company which makes 50B dollar profit/yr and where is Netscape?

Also we are back to square one with a monopoly in the browser , only now it's Google and not Microsoft. The consumer thinks Chrome is a better browser so it doesn't matter that Edge is pre-installed, they all download Chrome within the first week of buying a new PC.

Google managed to win marketshare on WIndows even though evil Microsoft pre-installed Edge because unlike Netscape they were smart enough to realize what the customer wants (a free and fast browser) instead of going to the feds to cry out of laziness or inability to pivot:
I'm highly skeptical of the 60% efficiency figure being any sort of end-to-end metric. I suspect that was poorly phrased, and the receiver/rectifier was operating at 60% efficiency (which is reasonable for RF rectifiers), of power incident. But the vast majority of power loss is happening along the path before reaching the receiver.

Some ballpark numbers: 1km at 10GHz is ~110dB of path loss. Those look like feasibly 40dBi antennas at both ends. That still leaves -30dB link budget, i.e. 0.1% of energy reaching the target.
No, it really isn't. There are a lot of issues with both snap and flatpak, but the issue at hand is performance, specifically boot times. Snap is far, far behind every other solution out there
Humm, Fedora is the source for CentOS and RHEL. Surely most of the contributions to Fedora come from people employed by Red Hat?
Sounds about as pertinent as the “do not put cotton swab in ear canal. never ever clean your ear with cotton swab” and probably about as well obeyed.
That is not, in fact, what they find, whatever they claim.

Science has no objective means to diagnose depression, or more importantly to distinguish among many fundamentally different kinds, other than by noting what responds to different medications. It should be easy to understand why designing a valid RCT of an antidepressant is practically impossible.

But there is a continuous demand for RCTs, so people run, instead, invalid RCTs. Running invalid RCTs is pointless. Reporting their results as if valid is, at best, misleading. At worst, dishonest.

It feels like we are back in time before writing existed. I wonder if in 10,000 years from now archeologists will find any real cultural artifact from our time.
Not that many projects offer native .debs.

Most of that work is done by package maintainers that have an interest in the project and package the update for each release.

The projects that usually do make their own debs/rpms/whatever are usually backed by companies that have a strong interest in making their software easy to access. I guess mozilla should be in that group but they aren't.

MS releases full versions of code, Google Releases Chrome, you can get a terraform deb you can get neovim. Not really sure why FF doesn't release one but the way I understand it, FF is kinda back burner for Mozilla so who knows.
"Formal methods" are anything a computer is able to do. (Things were originally defined the other way around, but if you have experience programing, that direction is more intuitive.)

You can prove that a piece of code is "correct" as long as you have a formal description of what it must do. That idea is quite useless for any code that people touch, because a formal description is about the same as a full program. But there are plenty of niches, like optimization, where you can just say "this program must do the same as this other program on any condition" where you have a simple formal description of correctness, that a computer can take and do the analysis for you.
If you have a tax refund for that last 5k right?

Regardless it's per individual. So if married everyone make sure to double up!
Fines are fine balance between motivational and liquidating.

I think 6% is quite a lot, even if one has 40% margin. Investors will be highly distraught and seek remedies from the current management. But for instance at 20% they will blame the regulators and push the company to fight in courts.

In any way, government wants to motivate change in behavior not taking companies out of business.
I suppose the title means that they have the source code physically, just no one can understand it, because the author had to remove all comments and shorten all variable names to one character so that the code would fit into the RAM.
General relativity predicts singularities. By your argument we haven’t confirmed GR experimentally until we’ve observed a singularity.
To your first point, they haven’t gone to 100 trillion at a time yet but we sure look like we are getting there.

To your second point, there are other parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem besides miners and developers that have a say in which version of the code ends up being run. It isn’t as simple as largest miners and it definitely isn’t as simple as issuing new Bitcoin without facing personal repercussions. Look into the block size debate to see how contentious any changes to the core protocol actually are and which players actually made a difference.

Let’s agree to agree. The average person has minuscule impact on their chosen money’s supply. To quantify which one would take more impact by the Average Joe in this day and age is going to have to be judged by history in decades - not by us now.
I really dislike the idea that people should be required to have their cameras on for all meetings. I think for people who rarely see one another in person, it can be good to try to encourage people to be on video occasionally, but when and how often should really be left up to the individual.

As a manager, I make it a point to try to turn my own video on most of the time, but I'd never ask someone to turn their camera on in any particular call. I want people to be able to do their best work. Building a solid team culture means you should see one another from time to time, but it doesn't have to be every call, or even most calls, and there are a lot of people who struggle from time to time to do their best work on camera.

Sometimes people are in a messy room or feel self conscious about their appearance. Sometimes people are just distracted staring at their own image on a call. Some people have to share their workspace with a partner or roommate who might be distracting in the background. Sometimes people are running something compute intensive in the background while taking a call and their computer gets too bogged down trying to encode video while also running whatever more important task it should be doing. Whatever the reason, I want people focusing on the work they are trying to do and if having their camera off lets them focus better, I'm going to encourage them to do that.
You are confusing the past for what the future is going to be. We are heading into an EV sales only future in most developed economies by 2040. Already, Tesla Model 3 is the best selling luxury car in the US, Model Y production has just been ramping up to soon overtake crossover/SUV, and these are making money hand over fist so they are only focusing on this upper market while they’re production constrained. As soon as production ramps up they’ll start cutting into economy car markets just like they did luxury, and you’ll see 10m out of those 78m TAM. Meanwhile, they no longer have any debt while most other car mfgs are servicing massive 10-100b ish debt piles.
My understanding regarding credit score is that it's one of the most regulated and explainable algorithms.

It's not transparent to the public, but it is auditable due to anti discrimination regulations. Am I wrong on this?
Did you mean FTTC instead of FTTN? FTTN can rarely get close to the max of 100/40 in best case scenarios.
GPL they do update. That's the point of the "or later" part.

BSD/MIT/Apache is compatible with the four freedoms, but don't do all of the work to enforce them. That's what the FSF means by approved; these licenses are approved for being incorporated into GPL code.
They only comparable decay is bit rot.
No goalposts have been moved. The proletariat has never been defined by income level, rather simply if they sell their labour without owning capital. A vanishingly small percentage of the proletariat has been a millionaire or equivalent basically forever.

Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, nothing more, nothing less. If someone really is able to produce 20x more than their peers, there's nothing wrong with them have a before tax income of 20x more.
I hate those titels, too, but let's be honest: They're a necessary sharade. If you want to earn any money from YouTube or even just get views, you need to please the algorithm. Sure, you can work without them, but it's like driving with the handbrake pulled.

The content of the videos is what matters. The advertising is annoying, but necessary.
Yep, the reserve rate has been at 0% for years. Bump that back up and watch savings interest skyrocket.
A woman I knew had one personality that would basically be a party girl with all it's connotations and then turn to being a highly religious god fearing woman, again, with all the connotations that go with it. She even had 2 different names. One for each personality. And she referred to the 2 personalities as if they were 2 distinct individuals. I happen to catch it by accident as she tried to keep the different personalities separate so she would try to keep the related social groups separate too. I think she was aware of the 2 and thought nothing of the transformations from one to the other which she made with out much fuss. My guess is that she had such an overwhelming need to be one, but she could not let go of it, that she created a second personality to satisfy her needs. It was very strange to deal with her in different settings. The personalities were different enough that I could tell who was who by looking at her.

I've never met someone like that again. She was well aware of it so I don't think it was a mental condition that needed to be treated. I've often suspected that there must be a few people that have such a deep need to be someone else that they get lost in what ever second personality they create and lose touch with reality only to be brought back by their real life situation. It might not be multiple personality disorder but it has to be a flavor of it.
Bringing up examples and then hiding behind 'well I didn't mean for them to be illustrative' is pretty lame.
That’s the cause of the problem, not the excuse for it.

"their own laws is the reason they're so rampant on the web today"

Really? Which dark pattern would bever be created if eu didn't exist?

"We, and by that I mean the web developer community, need to make technical solutions that make it impossible for companies to infringe users' rights. I guess we should first start by defining what those should be"

So, in this process, most of the population will get told what their rights are?

Since you complain that the regupation is slow, any ETA when the technofix will be ready?
yes.

i'm not taking any stance on the risk v yield profile. i was just bothered by JumpCrisscross's mischaracterization of the earlier comment & wanted to correct that.
I feel “quitting” is like the last few seconds of the NTSB record of a plane crash - technically things haven’t happened yet but the actual problem points are long past.

It’s often hard to identify a proximate cause right before - usually it goes back a long way.
I moved to using Fedora and its been pretty solid. Recently started using the Silverblue variant which is pretty well suited to do things in containers due to the readonly nature of its root filesystem. There are some aspects that are annoying (like installing software) but that not something I do frequently so its fine.

And if you're not a GNOME fan, there's a KDE version of Silverblue called Kinoite or something similar that's basically the same thing but with KDE instead of GNOME.

My reasons weren't necessarily because of Snaps because Fedora has Flatpaks which are the same useless crap from my perspective. It was mostly just because I wanted things to be closer to current releases.

Otherwise its been solid.
Much like you I look forward to (mostly CPU) increases to get better arma3 performance!

We need all the performance we can get, because even if it was the worlds most optimized engine, we'd just create bigger scenarios. Who wouldn't find a 10,000 unit mission fun, even if it was only at 40fps? :)

Inutterably brilliant and a genre of 1, I couldn't agree more.
The main server I'm on is for after hours gaming with coworkers at a company I contract with. I can certainly find my way to a room and chat. But I can't use my actual name, though requested to do so, because it's too common (names don't have to be unique in discord, for some reason there can only be so many of each. Silly limitation.). And I'm not categorized in the same way as my coworkers in the user list. And then some rooms seem to be for text and others for watching one person broadcast video. The experience is just kind of all around disjointed feeling. Perhaps curation and community style has a lot to do with that though.
Without the law they would take your data without telling you.
And the US was willing to get quite involved if necessary, e.g. to 'lend' a helicopter carrier to the UK, https://news.usni.org/2012/06/27/reagan-readied-us-warship-8...
I just took the test from their provided link (eclecticenergies.com) and it is 100% woo. Spiritual chakra energy lifeforce crystals woo.

That site should not be used, at least not directly, by anybody in a professional managerial setting.
>Or because of the pressure of delivering the result?

It's mainly this. It's not a hobby when the customer needs their product delivered by Thursday, not is it a hobby where you need to maintain a certain output to pay the bills.

Sales and marketing are just a thing that you get used to.
I gave my 6-year old iPhone to elderly relatives and it still gets security upgrades.

Google “upgraded” to less than any other mainstream computing platform. Windows gets about 10 years of security updates for each major version, up to 15 if you pay extra.
Thank you for responding.

First of all, anyone can get into a fight and lose. And more often than not, technique is what helps people prevail in fights, not strength. Any decent martial arts training will teach you that.

If you’re talking about professional boxing, sure, it would be stupid to claim that a well-trained woman could, on average, beat an equally-well-trained man in a boxing match.

But I don’t think that’s the claim here. The claim is that women can be as strong as men, and that isn’t totally false. Maybe not the strongest men, but certainly a lot of them, and especially if they train well.

As for the claim of indirect harm, I think people in general need to be better-educated to engage in critical thinking. Treating words from authority figures with a grain of salt is at the heart of post-secondary education, and yet, it leads to better civil discourse, not worse.

Also, there seems to be a thin veil of sexism in your claim, as though women aren’t capable of thinking for themselves and therefore can’t ascertain the nuance in a general statement like “women can be stronger than men.” It’s meant to be a motivational statement, not a rigorous scientific claim.
Wow, lots of replies are trying to downplay the existence ongoing human suffering.

A few things to consider:

- A disproportionate number of prisoners are African American, and that subset are mostly in prison for crimes that whites simply don't go to prison for (e.g., pot, or coke vs. crack).

- US prisoners aren't given nutritionally adequate food for free. They have to buy that at inflated prices from the prison. Once they blow through any savings, their only option (other than malnutrition) is to work for wages that would be illegally low outside of prison.

- As during the transatlantic trade, it is straightforward to buy your way out of forced prison labor.

- A growing fraction of prisoners consider the current system to be eugenics as well as slavery. The prisons take the majority of men while they are at prime child rearing age. It's well known that any that do manage to have kids will probably be forced into a situation where they can't adequately care for those children (dad goes to prison for driving while black or whatever), making the next generation easy targets for the same scheme. (This is coming from current prisoners, not me.)

The other pushback against my comment boils down to "it's legal, so we don't use that word". Similar arguments were made in defense of the transatlantic trade. For instance, black Africans were generally the ones selling slaves, and often used real or imagined criminal records as an excuse. Any objective comparison of the two systems would find that the transatlantic slave trade was roughly as immoral California's three strike law is in practice. You could argue the slave trade was worse because the kids were automatically slaves. In the current system, they're only probably going to prison, but the prisons also aren't paying to raise them.

I suggest reading Things Fall Apart if you're unfamiliar with the African side of the slave trade.
I guess "pliant" is one way to describe being generally open to new things.
Until we have means to objectively distinguish between many different pathologies all labeled as "depression", other than by what medication they respond to, there will be no progress. And, all RCTs purporting to show no effect will remain worth less than the paper they are printed on. And, claims based on these RCTs will be, at best, ignorant; at worst, dishonest.

If you have read this and continue repeating such claims, you have moved to the "dishonest" column.
Nice, until you have to install Nix on an NVidia Jetson system, and you want full GPU support.
You can have the government act as venture capital if that is truly necessary. Otherwise labour does provide capital through the surplus, and loans can fill in the blanks.
Okay, but what russian books are banned on libgen? Because otherwise this is just such a weird conspiracy. The russian government is funding niche fringe books on a niche website to divide Americans? But also not censoring anything that would hurt their own cabale?
