Stimulation is necessary. I just recently read that one of the best ways you can stave off or slow down dementia in dogs is to give them the time to sniff to their heart's content.

Lack of stimulation for humans can be counteracted by doing things like active reading, exercising, which you've added a tactile element to, etc. They say something similar about hearing aids for age-related hearing impairment, too.

Living passively and without allowing your senses to do what they are supposed to do seems to atrophy them and their connected brain bits over time.
Maybe I am self selecting, but I don't think I have seen a desktop computer or motherboard in the last 15 years without spidf over toslink or RCA. Hell, for that matter a bunch of laptops and even apple until recently included mini toslink/optical out the headphone jack.
I used to love pacman, but I never used Arch professionally so I can imagine it can have its share of problems.

How so? It makes it cheap for the people inside the system but expensive for those that are outside of it. You don't solve a housing crisis by essentially subsidizing the cost.
Congratulations to GAMI. They are a really interesting and innovative small company. Their calibrated fuel injectors are a great upgrade for many planes letting you save 5-15% of fuel. They make an innovative turbo system for the Cessna Cardinal that is quite a challenge. But taking on the task of creating an unleaded avgas and shepherding it through an arduous approval process for literally decades.. Good for them.

(GAMI is still independently owned, right? Sometimes it feels like the last American GA company that wasn't bought by a Chinese aviation company.)
Our house has a bunch of exterior 110v outlets, but they are all on the same 20A circuit. Our level 1 charger takes many hours to charge our small EV battery, and draws 16A. There's no way for it to politely ask the circuit breaker how much amperage is left on the circuit.

If I was wiring a parking garage, I'd likely run level 2 charges, since you get twice the charge rate for the same amount of copper.

At about the same time, when I was young, my grandmother told me a similar story from when she was young. About a century ago. I don't doubt it is a real phenomenon.
Via the process of federal-reserve style banks, mostly. They are allowed to create money. They don't lend out money of the depositors. They create it out of thin air by the authority of the government who has allocated these banks a special position, thus making these banks unfathomably wealthy. Unbelievably corrupt.
Interesting finding in the post referenced by TFA:

> In other words, you can throw money at a project to make things happen faster, but the highest time reduction you will ever be able to gain is by a quarter. Such a result, confirmed by many studies (by Boehm and many others after him), is typical of the kind of strong empirical work that Boehm favored.

It was intended to tax Amazon and perhaps some other large e-commerce companies.

You don't need to actually state the obvious.
Housing prices rose with inflation for 400 years, and after 2000 suddenly started hockey-stick growth. Unless you think the quality and size of housing that people demanded only radically changed within the past 20 years, your theory is lacking for me.

I sometimes put a footnote in when I mention that house prices haven't changed in "400 years" because the records are from the Netherlands, but in your case that makes them more relevant.
I've noticed they have gotten worse. After three bad MacBook Pros in a row, I bought a used 2015 MacBook Air, which has never given me a problem.

The pros all had battery/power issues, shutting down randomly several times a day. The keyboards were also horrible.

I've been a Thinkpad fan for years, and I use a Carbon X1 with Linux outside of work. No complaints about that, though I do wonder if it's as physically durable as the older, bulkier models.

I've noticed Lenovo is putting out more consumer grade laptops now. I don't know about their quality, but it doesn't seem as high as their professional line.

My son has a Dell XPS 15, and had to replace a loud, failing fan after a year.

I suppose manufacturers face a lot of pressure selling to consumers who don't know what to look for in terms of quality and don't understand why two visually similar machines with similar specs would be priced so differently. The low-end machines in Walmart look just like the high-end machines at Best Buy.

The business grade machines from Lenovo, Dell, and HP have incentive to be higher quality because businesses often buy them with high level service plans. Lenovo, Dell and HP really don't want to send techs into the field to service laptops if they can avoid it, and the best way to avoid that is to build a good product.

> Precedent from decisions on The Daily Stormer and 8chan was used to pressure Cloudflare to deplatform human rights organizations by authoritarian governments. Refusing to deplatform isn't about protecting Kiwifarms, but protecting other groups in a global environment where they face legal and social pressure on differing and conflicting views. A hands-off policy on moderating the content of their customers removes the possibility of using deplatforming to suppress human rights.

Except this is a bullshit excuse, because a) you can just tell those authoritarian governments "no", and b) they have been removing customers like sex workers for many years already, this is not some novel change. The only change is that it affects literal fascists now.

"Banning nazis means we also have to ban human rights organizations" is some grade-A spin doctor bullshit, and I would expect better from people here than to fall for that.
> Mandate that every port and cable is labelled with those two numbers and any associated icons.

That's the crux. Your first two points already exist, but no one is required to use them, so no one does.

The only way to mandate this is making USB a standard not open as-is (ideally patent-protected). But that is the reason USB succeeded and changing this isn't a good idea.

From those figures, the entire civil aviation sector accounts for 13% of European transport emissions and 8% of US transport emissions. I can't find a breakdown of GA vs. airline, but I highly suspect GA to be a small fraction of civil aviation emissions relative to airline.

Be concerned about activities that make up the majority of emissions: passenger vehicles, electricity generation, and industry. Eliminating GA tomorrow would barely make a dent.

Sadly not just CA. Another favorite lie is "safety." Despite the fact that the road going past any given airport has suffered more fatalities in a few years than the airport has seen in its history, land-speculating trash love to trot out the "safety" excuse.

Take the current poster child for corrupt destruction of our airports: Santa Monica. Not one neighbor of that airport has been killed by an aircraft IN A CENTURY. But the street going past it kills a person per year.

And rich, white people who want to goose their property values come out not only to regurgitate discredited FUD, but to complain that the airport is used by rich, white people. Meanwhile they're just fine with a golf course operating next to it during a permanent drought and a "housing crisis."

BTW, Ann Heche crashed her car and burned down a house not far from Santa Monica... where are the calls to shut down that street?
There is no "paywall". This website is just an example of why disabling Javascript by default makes sense.

I use a text-only browser, it does not run Javascript. I have no problem reading this article. Using a text-only browser with no Javascript interpreter is not even necessary.

For example, in Chrome, press F12 to open so-called "Developer Tools". Watch the ridiculously unnecessary number of Javascript-triggered requests made in a feeble attempt to perform telemetry, tracking and serve advertising (after a "real-time" bidding process). All of that making the page slower, less responsive, more resource intensive and ultimately filled with distracting garbage.

To fix, tab into the Developer Tools window somewhere and press Ctrl-P then ">". Type "Javascript". Select "Disable Javascript". Hit Enter.

Now try reloading the page. No ads. No "paywall". No telemetry. No tracking.
All that garbage is reliant on Javascript.

Works with the AMP version of the page as well.

> Am I being overly paro here?

No, I think you’re picking up on something I’ve observed as well. It seems like trying to look deeper into nuances and subtleties is, more often than a few years ago, dismissed as wishy washy or equivocations rather than an attempt to understand and enumerate true complexities. I think this started before the Trump era, but the the political all-or-nothing polarization that has followed since then seems to bleed over into even non political things.

It won't be the politicians passing unconstitutional laws, that's for sure.
Japan (including Tokyo) legalized short-term rentals (minpaku) in 2018. However, there are reasonably toothy licensing requirements and you're capped at 180 days per year.
The underlying issue is that demand for these places has increased in our new globally-connected world. That's not going away. Cute little lake houses aren't going to be a local secret anywhere in the world, anymore, and the sooner people realize that, the sooner they can think about how to adjust to it.

We are currently in the "denial" phase. We can't get to "acceptance" fast enough.
Right, wsj is quite leftist as well.

That’s the problem with media - ideally it should be balanced instead of pushing particular agenda, whether it’s left or right.

To be fair, the Economist was close to it for some time. I was a fervent reader, but it was hard not to notice systemic decline in quality over years.
I really don't have the time to keep up with all these different models and training methods.

Is there a good site that tracks these things and provides a high-level analysis and differentiation between them?
We already tax vacant property up to 12 times the regular tax when located in high demand areas[1] which includes all of Lisbon municipality. It's definitely had some effect as you see a lot less vacant property, but it unfortunately doesn't fix everything.

For the same reason why companies don't have their internal audit in the same org as their accountants and their financial controllers under business unit managers, inherent conflict of interest.

The job that the security org is doing for the board/owners/etc is controlling risk because they don't trust if their IT org says "everything is totally fine", and consider it likely that if the decision about whether to implement some activity or not is left purely to the IT org, then the convenience of implementation will override the level of risk control that the board/owners desire, so they choose to put these controls in a separate organization, empowering someone to say "Not until you do all this unwelcome work to implement it to the standards the company has chosen", preventing all the many mid-managers to save their effort or their costs by cutting corners at the expense of risks to "someone else's" money.

Of course, having these functions together is much more efficient in many ways! But the principal-agent problem is very real, especially so in large organizations, so that's why these choices get made this way, designing organizational structures that act as checks and balances on each other, not expecting everyone to magically cooperate for the greater good.
Perhaps they just didn't want to vote for "that" Republican? Or, they're some of the 27 Republicans who aren't on the Trump-mobile?
This is presumably for people that don't have such a choice. I'd have a decent dryer if I didn't rent, but I do and such things are typically included, and consequently are the cheapest money can buy.

To do this I'd need to integrate the dryer sensor with a smart plug.
I've never owned/used a dryer that was anything other than set a timer and turn it on.
That's a good point, although I imagine that the actual justification is less to do with Switter's legal exposure than Cloudflare's.
What about RJ45? Why it did not require any bureaucratic regulations to become the standard connector in network devices? I am convinced the less regulation in trivial matters the better.
Fans Track Down Pioneering Developer Who Brought Female Representation to Games
Never really got the whole controversy around that, and looks like Linus didn't really either. I would potentially chalk it up to cultural differences. At least where I live (and maybe in Canada?) we have quite strong consumer protection laws to the point that pretty much all warranties are less strong than the law is, so I don't really pay attention to them at all.
I'm surprised duckdb failed to run simple count/groupby queries. Is it simply OOM? If so, do you know how much more it would take to complete those queries?
There are several Tangram companies out there. The company you're thinking of is now called Modelfox (https://www.modelfox.dev/), but used to own the https://tangram.dev domain.

This company (https://tangram.dev) is a different entity entirely.

There is also Tangram Vision (https://www.tangramvision.com) which is a startup focused on multi-sensor calibration and sensor-fusion. They have been around since 2020, while the other Tangram's out there are relatively newer.

Given that the DHC-2 Beaver was introduced in 1948, that’s not too surprising.

There was a mandate for USB type-A cables to have a tactile USB logo on the "top" side, so that you could always feel when it was in the correct orientation.

In the current generation I've seen devices with "DP" used to mean "Power Delivery" instead of "DisplayPort"

Any mandate that is possible to ignore or misinterpret will just add noise.
I personally appreciate the ability to build on any machine. A newly setup dev machine, or a new build machine, without having to worry about if I all the various dependencies installed for a successful build. Not all of my build dependencies can be handled with nuget.

FYI: black images are not just from the safety checker.

Yes, the safety checker will zero out images but can just turn it off with an “if False:”; Mostly black images are due to a bug, especially frustrating because it turns up on high step counts and means you’ve wasted time running it.

My experience has been roughly 2-4/32 of an image batch comes back black at the default settings, regardless of the prompt.

Just stamp out images in batches and discard the black ones.
I just set up a similar thing on my own a bit differently than OP did.

Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine - Takes 38 seconds as well up to 46 when it gets hotter.

Can anyone give comparison with Nvida gpu in terms of performance?
No no no, if there's a collision, just append "Full Speed" on the old one, and "High Speed" on the new one. Much simpler.
Great. FYI, the issue with pyyaml was caused by the "--pre" flag. The reason installing it separately fixes the problem is because it installs it without the "--pre" flag, and then it is already installed when you install the requirements.

I haven't been able to make sense of n-samples and n-iters. Changing the former caused generation to freeze at 0%. Changing the latter seems to generate multiple images, even though the SD docs for n-iters are "sample this often".

The only real way to fight this is oversupply imho. Can't financialize something that doesn't generate outsized returns. If expected returns are lower (and risk higher) than the next financial class, money will move to that other financial class instead. Right now, real estate is low risk/high reward compared to the next best option (stocks?). So...money pours into real estate. Increase that supply to the point where finding a renter is at least marginally challenging, and you'll find that cash goes elsewhere.
