The Republican Party is far more cohesive on its message to voters and on how their elected members vote. Democrats have much more variation. Obama was a right of center President by the standards of 1980. The Affordable Care Act is, in its essence, the same plan that the Republican Mitt Romney instituted as Governor of Massachusetts and it’s the plan endorsed in 1993 by the conservative Heritage Foundation. In spite of this the act was labeled communist by Republicans. The strategy Republicans have employed since 1992 is to go further right of anything a Democratic President wants. Hence the absurd labeling of Biden as a radical leftist.

There are some Democratic Socialists in the Democratic Party but they don’t have enough power to push their agenda through. Since 1992 the the power structure of the Democratic Party has endorsed slow, incremental changes provided those changes don’t disrupt the corporatist polity that we have.
The problem with such a tax is the same problem all other taxes and businesses that do not properly align their incentives have.

Ultimately the ones paying are not the ones making the decisions.

I'm all for a land area tax, but such a tax must necessarily come with political reforms to ensure the proceeds of said tax are used in the manner that the payer of the tax decides.

In other words, people don't vote, land does.

Good guess, yes. :-) From a brief look it seems that these days (I don't think it was around when I first looked a few years ago) MusicBee instead of iTunes on desktop and GoneMAD Music Player might work as a similar combo with bi-directional play count and ratings sync (although I've found somebody saying that this didn't actually work on a latest Android version [1], so hmm...), but it seems the podcasts handling might not work as it currently does.

The problem is that while I don't need the podcasts syncing for regular podcasts (for which a separate podcasts app on my phone would be perfectly fine, and besides I don't listen all that much to podcasts that way anyway), I'm also managing my collection of radio comedies I've scrounged together from all sorts of places as podcasts in iTunes (by simply manually setting the media type to "Podcast" – luckily on Windows, where iTunes hasn't been split up into its components this is still possible), so that

a) they're all together in one place and not cluttering up the music part of my library

b) especially to get the nice at-a-glance listened/not listened/partially listened display, and

c) while iTunes allows setting the "Remember my playback position" for any kind of file, Rocket Player apparently supports remembering the playback position only for podcasts

I've got no idea how GoneMAD and MusicBee's file syncing behave in that regard, but a quick test installation of MusicBee showed that while I could get used to it as an iTunes-replacement for my general music library, it doesn't allow manually importing files as podcasts, meaning I'd have to resort either manually hacking the database, or setting up some sort of fake Podcast running on a local HTTP server in order to import new episodes... :-/

At least for now the old versions will keep working, and if some future Android version does break things, I guess I'll decide what to do about it in terms of a replacement at that time and not now…

Though I guess it does mean that my personal main bug in iSyncr [2] won't ever get fixed now, so maybe I need to resort to APK hacking after all…

[1] Which is how I found out about iSyncr + Rocket Player having been sold in the first place.

[2] After a file has been synced, it won't be synced again if any subsequent changes that don't change either of title/artist/album (or possibly file size, but due to metadata padding small metadata changes won't necessarily change the total file size) happen within 24 hours [3] of the original sync.

[3] I think this is trying to work around the fact that Android reports the file timestamps in local time, so due to either travel or even just summer/winter time a file might suddenly appear as outdated as compared to the last modified timestamp on the desktop. As my desktop with my music library, is in a fixed location, for me 24 hours is excessive, though, and 1 hour to cater for summer/winter time would be enough.

If you accept that a brain is nothing more than a blob of electrical/chemical circuits that respond to stimuli, then the brain is entirely deterministic.

You think you're deciding things, hence you think you have free will. But all those decisions are based on deterministic circuits, therefore you're not actually in control. Your ability to decide things and act in free will is an illusion.
I think there's a difference though between Transmeta not making a competitive product from their story and Tachyum seeming an out-and-out scam.
Indeed. Back in the days when RAM was hideously expensive, Windows NT needed too much RAM for the home PCs of the era.

Also, Windows 9x had plug and play and the NT family did not.

Most home users didn't switch over to the NT family until Windows XP.

I hope you're planning to stay put fairly often if you want to use solar panels a lot. A bus takes ~2kW/mi [1] so if you go 60 mph you're burning 120kW/h so you're not going to replenish that at all while enroute.

What's your price range? The EV Motorhomes are ~200k [2] while converted sprinters are ~100k [3]. I suspect it may pay for itself if you learned how to convert a used gas sprinter/etc to electric.

Cool project!

AFAIK many games are using 3x4 bone matrices instead of 4x4. These matrices don't need projection component anyway i.e. 3x4 is enough.

This saves some bandwidth updating the constant buffer with them, also takes slightly less math instructions in the vertex shader.
Those would be exceedingly well-suited to some John Cage.

It's not. `tuc` is a superset of cut and in that particular example there's no difference. If you wanted instead to cut on multibyte delimiters, or on a random amount of spaces, `tuc` would work, while `cut` would fall short

I don't disagree re: it making sense as a value-added service at a restaurant.

But for many, folks already treat the gas station as their cheap convenient restaurant, grocer, gambling den, etc. I have the impression that being a gas station has already kind of ceased to be the primary source of profit.

Why isn't there room for all of the above? With how many folks rent/park in the street, demand for convenient charging when the entire fleet is electric is going to be substantial. Especially if there are a lot of cheaper short-range compacts that need frequent top-ups around town... Such vehicles might also get down into the 5-10 minutes charge times too.

At least around here gas stations also tend to have way more parking spaces than pumps. Isn't it rather trivial to electrify all the spots vs. putting gas pumps at all of them? Gasoline presents some unique safety and cost barriers to doing that... EVs still need to be washed as well, which many gas stations already provide and restaurants probably won't.
There was a talk on this back in 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk
You're still making generic arguments, nothing specific to the models in question. I'm a materialist, I believe consciousness is an emergent process that we definitely don't fully understand, but arises from connections of simpler material things. The reason why current-gen large language models aren't conscious (or at least no more conscious than a calculator, in which case you have a definition of consciousness that is not productive for discussing real world phenomena) comes from an understanding of how they work in particular. You don't need to know what each of a billion parameters is doing in an LLM to understand the computational envelope in which it operates, any more than I'd need to understand the ten billion parameters in a 100000x100000 convolution kennel to know that it's not conscious because they just get multiplied with some image region and added up.
I'm not sure I follow. If I come to you saying "I'm not sure if monogamy is the right thing to do", your answer is "it's the right way because the Bible says so"? That's a pretty unhelpful answer unless I already happen to believe that the Bible is true.

Also, while mainstream Christians are monogamous, a lot of devout followers of Abrahamic religions over the centuries were decidedly not: e.g. certain Mormons and Muslims.

I am completely in agreement with your second paragraph - and with your first as far as it goes, though for balance, I think we should cast an equally skeptical eye over what philosophy has achieved during its tenure over this topic. Personally, I feel it spends way too much time worrying about zombies.

There's a slightly ironic moment where the author mentions the pushback Ilya Sutskever got for tweeting "It may be that today's large neural networks are slightly conscious." This is not a view to which I would assign much credence, but it is more or less axiomatic (though in a different sense, perhaps) in some forms of panpsychism that I am also rather skeptical of (what on Earth does Goff mean when he says that electric charge is a form of consciousness?)
Still not following.

"> I regret that the MFA token for many gems such as this may end-up in 1Password or similar, shared, along side the other credentials, rather than on a separate device or similar."

Emphasis mine. How does "the extremely valid "gem is owned by a team, and anyone may push" model" impact this in any way? Why would the MFA tokens need to be shared via 1Password if they are specific to an individual account?

Unless you're sharing the username/password for a master account between everyone with push access to the gem (which, I checked, Capistrano thankfully doesn't appear to be doing), there's no reason whatsover to share the MFA token, so it could happily exist on a separate device. And if you are sharing one username/password between everybody – don't do that. You don't need to do that to accomplish "the extremely valid "gem is owned by a team, and anyone may push" model". That's just a really stupid way to do anything.

GP seems to be thinking that everyone with push rights needs to share the same token, but that's simply incorrect.
As you figured out, -g (--greedy) matches the same delimiter multiple times (e.g. one or more spaces). If you want to match different delimiters (e.g. a mix of spaces), one or more times, you must use -e (--regex).
TFA truly was a blessing for security. Finally _something_ that can just be blindly mandated and actually works wonders. User training was not getting anywhere.
It makes a difference who is doing the coercing, though. Is it the person offering a solution (employment), or the universe in general for imposing scarcity?

You may be "coerced" into working by the general human condition of needing to earn money somehow to survive, but that doesn't mean your employer is coercing you. That relationship is still voluntary. You can choose to work for them on mutually-agreeable terms, or not—and they can choose to hire you, or not. Neither party is forcing the other to do anything.

> That you’re not free to sell your body as a sex worker but are free to sell your body as a miner or oil rigger is a weird double standard in my opinion.

When a random internet citizen directly approaches your company with the explicit request to fire a named employee, this by definition is insane.

The reporter is not interested in reporting a particular offense, instead they are already playing the executioner. They do not want a solution, they want punishment and retaliation. That behavior is both arrogant (not their call to make) and sadistic.

The reporter is not interested in what is best for your company either, as the "request" typically comes with threats. Comply or else...

The very nature of such requests means the reporter is the type of person to dig up personal information or old "offensive" posts, which is unhinged behavior. Likewise, the reporter was unable to come to a resolution with the "offender", so plays the snitch card instead.

It's a pile of red flags. Normal and reasonable people do not go after a person's job, even less so collectively. I wouldn't do that to my biggest enemy. That doesn't mean employees can't screw up, perceived or real. When they do, mob justice does not satisfy the very basic principles of justice. There's no defense, and without defense, there is no justice.

Most companies can safely ignore such requests. The mob has no patience nor are they typically a customer in the first place, so all economical threats are in vain. It's largely a temporary PR threat that is emotionally inflated versus the actual PR impact: close to zero.

Of course, I know, there's exceptions to all of the above.

I'd say it would be a good thing if there's legislation that protects against mob-triggered terminations. The reason I would opt for that is that mob justice goes beyond just the termination of a few. It has a larger societal impact in the sense that those few are to be seen as examples for other people to increasingly feel like they need to walk on egg shells: extreme political correctness, large silent majority, you get what I mean.
Maybe overly cynical, but I usually assume it's "someone with an email address from that company signed up for a free account because they wanted to spend 30 seconds trying out the service"
The threat of violence against the populace they're meant to protect isn't a reason not to disband that police department.

It is however a reason to call in the FBI and, if necessary, deploy the Army so you can make anyone so inclined to rot in a prison cell.
> To memory what really messed with OS stability when browsing the internet on System 7.5.3 (the first Mac OS I used) up through 9.2.2 were browser plugins.

OS Extensions in general were a source of instability. It's like kernel extensions on Macs or kernel drivers on Windows today, there is no safety net and coding errors can take down the entire system.

You really needed to weigh the reputation of a company for stability before adding an extension from them.

The rising gasoline prices started well before the Russian war. They started almost immediately after we inaugurated a president who said he would shut down fracking, and followed through to the best of his ability.
There were no kernel panics back then. There was hardly a kernel per se until 8.6.

We had “Sorry, a system error occurred” bombs. It was “funny” that those errors remained in 1 bit color even though the entire system had full color support for decades.

No problem. I wish what I didn't wasn't necessary. I'm helping others to try to make changes to the FOIA laws to fix the slew of problems. It's baby steps. It's like hacking - laws are written, the bugs are found, they are fixed, it's just that it takes decades to make the change, unlike coding where it takes 2 minutes to recompile.

It's kind of buried, but near the end TFA says 'I should clarify that my definition of monogamy is "when you place a restriction or expectation on your partner’s engagement in sexual activity."'

So if you and your partner have both freely decided that you don't want to date other people because the scheduling is too annoying, you're not really her target.

I've heard some of my friends say things like "if I ever found out my partner slept with someone else, I'd be furious and might never forgive them." Maybe that's who she has in mind.

I know that's what would happen, because many people are callous jerks. However, I'm (probably foolishly) hoping the people who tend to say things like that may have at least a little change of heart if they imagine themselves in a similar situation.
I think excess time to overthink stuff is producing such thoughts.

At the end of the day the only fundamental truth is that nobody wants to be present when 2 people are getting romantic/sexual. Also nobody wants to picture somebody they are having sex with somebody else before.

The above is something which is true for basically everybody except for rare fetishes.

Once you recognize the fundamental truth above it becomes perfectly clear that what people call polyamory is essentially 2 people having a pseudo-romantic relationship in which they don't live together and don't see each other every day.

And when they are not seeing each other they are having pseudo-romantic relationship with other people and everybody in this chain of pseudo-romantic relationships thinks of themselves as being the only one who is enjoying exclusivity but doesn't bother investigating if that's really the case. Of course they don't confess sleeping around either.

Such things have existed forever. It used to be called the "talking stage" when everything is still fair game but somehow you assume the other person is not taking advantage of the fair game clause which exists during the "talking stage".

Some social norms exist in other countries where it goes beyond the talking stage. Eg. France. But if you ask around they don't define themselves as poly.
