People will just get drunk in the airport ahead of time instead, which is arguably worse, because boarding is the worst time to be inebriated.
> For example, if you had a study which compared moderate drinkers to non-drinkers, but not carve out "cannot drink due to other medication" from the second group, you get a more discriminatory result from the study.

Yeah. From what I remember about these studies is that people who used to smoke but don't anymore actually have higher risk of contracting severe Covid. This is easily explained by the fact that many people who quit smoking do so due to health reasons (which in turn are the cause for higher risk of Covid).
> Any organization should be able to quantitatively prove their value on some level.

There is danger there with corrupt and immoral organizations. They might just start generating false incidents and then run to save the day to pad their stats "look how effective we are!".

Luckily, that only happens with deeply corrupt organizations. Like for instance FBI [1], when they were sending their informants to mosques in US looking to recruit terrorists. Up until the the members of the mosque ended up reporting the FBI agents to the FBI.

Bicycle helmets are designed to protect riders from collisions with terrain at normal cycling speeds (in fact, less than that; helmet tests are done with a speed of about 14 miles per hour [0]).

Cyclists who are hit by traffic are likely to be hit much, much harder than that. Therefore the effect of the helmet is more or less entirely untested, and manufacturers have no incentive to design helmets for that scenario.

I am a life-long Windows user but 11 is just a total blunder.
Let me try to explain. The government of that time will say that you must publicly affirm your association with the beast to receive an identifier. The placement of the identifier on your hand or forehead will itself be positioned as a continual affirmation of your association with Team Beast. So, if you are wearing it then you are proclaiming your association with the beast. The beast is described as hating God and hating Christians and persecuting them. If you wear its badge (mark), then you would be affirming those actions.

This, obviously, creates a problem for Christians who are commanded to love God and to love others.

If it was just an identifier that held no other meaning, then it's fine, but it's called the "mark of the beast" and it's described as a literal badge of association with this creature. It's not just a bank account number.

Hope that helps. If not, just imagine how odious it would be, especially to Democrats, if Republicans made it a requirement to wear your MAGA hat to buy food.
If you open the developer console, it is revealed that the experience is provided by SheepShaver, a traditional desktop emulator (packaged presumably with Emscripten) running in the browser. :)

The integration portions are pretty nice, no doubt.

Edit: https://github.com/mihaip/infinite-mac#building-the-emulator... reveals that it is indeed built using Emscripten.

Summary from the introduction:

What useful information can be learned from the 600+ datasets analyzed in this book?
There are a few high-level take-aways from the recurring patterns seen in the analysis; these include:

- there is little or no evidence for many existing theories of software engineering,

- most software has a relatively short lifetime, e.g., source code is deleted, packages are withdrawn or replaced, and software systems cease to be supported. A cost/benefit analysis of an investment intended to reduce future development costs needs to include the possibility that there is no future development; Changes within the ecosystems in which software is built also has an impact on the viability of existing code;

- software developers should not be expected to behave according to this or that mathematical ideal. People come bundled with the collection of cognitive abilities and predilections that enabled their ancestors, nearly all of whom lived in stone-age communities, to reproduce;
I have the opposite experience:

First, regional and international flights always been in the same terminal and therefor the same check for me.

International...depends on a country:

Vietnam spent more time looking at my passport then looking at my luggage (actually didn't look at all, was talking to someone and not looking at the monitor).

Korea - leave everything in a bag, leave your shoes, easy-breezy.

Japan - the same as Korea.

Germany/Spain - was more worried that: I have place to say and plane ticket back and that I will be let into the US on my way back that what was in my bags.

Mexico - again, more time spent on documents than my bags, but I was subject to random search at the gate once...unpleasant.

In fact, even in the US TSA checks aren't the same: some airports let you leave everything in a bag, others will bitch about tiny wireless headphones left in a bag. Anyway, I'd say TSA will have the most ridiculous checks and number of people who have no idea how to go through TSA.
Now do the same for the constructive dismissals of Starbucks union organizers.
This post sows the seeds of its own best counterargument: time is money and maintainer money means maintainer time.

There's no sharp either-or between just a hobby and full-time job. There are some inflection points, as where money becomes enough to take one fewer contract client, devote a day or afternoon per week, or leave a current full-time job. Overall, paying a maintainer who has to manage money enables them to spend more time. That addresses the fundamental unbalance between demand and capacity that risks burnout.

I think of burnout risk as having another key factor that isn't mentioned here: psychology. It isn't just demands versus wall-clock capacity. It's your perception of demands versus the focus you can bring in time allotted. Paying someone for their work is a very direct, accountable, and socially recognized way of confirming the value of their effort. Not feeling exploited changes how maintainers relate to bugs, patches, planning, and support.
I stopped using q-tips because after like 20-something years of using q-tips safely, it took one bad left-handed cleaning job to hurt my ear. I think I mostly got lucky. I went in too far with my non-dominant hand and caused some sharp pain on what is probably my ear drum. No hearing loss, nothing major, but it was pretty painful and more than enough to get me to stop. I was just like the author! I was like there's no way this can be bad as long as you don't go in too deep.
Happens all around EU but its random like next 20 take shoes off but you see it often.
When I ask the question, what I really mean is ``is there a mechanical structure that guarantees the correct output?'' For example, we can train neural networks to perform functions such as "and", "xor", etc., and convince ourselves the network has "really learned" what it means to calculate the function.

Is that true for interpreting programming languages? If so, a bug isn't just ``I haven't seen a similar enough example''. It reflects a deeper mistake that will likely occur again.

Does anyone really want a deterministic ChatGPT though?

Relying on an incorrect model frozen in time seems worse than relying on an incorrect model that is continuously improved.

Expert systems of the past were deterministic in that the answers were computed from assumed facts and the logic could be queried. That's fundamentally different from how this works.
I disagree. Punishment is not justice.
I disagree that that is the only way of constructing a study which is effective in investigating this question. I also don't accept that the fact an RCT is not viable would somehow imply that we should draw out conclusions from studies like the above.
A few quick answers —

>Why do folders all open in a new window?

Spacial Finder (see https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2003/04/finder/). It remembers window position, icon positions within the window, and the like.

>Why can't I maximize a window by double-clicking the title bar? Why can I only resize windows with the little handle in the bottom corner?

Nobody really thought about maximizing by double-clicking, as there was the maximize button available, that maximized not to the screen but to the content being presented (at least that was the intent). Double-clicking on the title bar made the contents of the window disappear while keeping the title bar hovering there. This was great on small screens so that you didn't have to click between windows that had information in them but could hide the top one, read the one below, and go back to the top one without moving the mouse.

As for the little handle, that was for a) the sake of consistency, and b) because that was the one way the OS did things; resizing windows worked just that way. Not sure if that was purely intent or if it was due to system resources, especially in earlier Systems.

>What is the point of the settings dock in the bottom left of the screen? Do I really need to change resolution and colors that often?

I remember using settings much, much more than on current machines — there were a lot of little tweaks one might want to make for performance or ease (changing colors or resolution might be necessary due to a game, for instance, whether for speed or compatibility if it were older).

>Why do I have to browse the whole hard drive to find any of my applications? Why can't I right-click files/folders?

That was simply the way of things, though there were plenty of extensions out there that put application links (or links to pretty much anything) into the Apple menu, which became a catch-all that Apple has pared down (in response?) to almost nothing.

>What is the point of the bigger/smaller window button, why not maximize? Why does minimizing just collapse windows to their title bar?

See above.

>How do you even turn off the computer?

Choose shut down, and turn it off with the switch when it told you it was safe to do so.
I am still not fully impressed as it seems like there are two parts needed for what I would consider the killer AI for creative/development work. Not general AI mind you, just job killing kind. Chat GPT does one part very well, collate information in a cohesive manner, and it seems to do it better than most, certainly better than me at writing.

The second part is what it lacks completely, which is reasoning behind each piece of information it bases its answers on, there is no internal consistency, it's all valid and all equivalent in a way.

The way I see it, I build sentences by copying what others wrote, emulate construction and tone but with the intention to pass information, that information has been reasoned on and enters my "trusted" filter (understanding), then I just babble it out (what chatgpt does).

It doesn't seem far fetched to me that it might be enough to build rules about consistency of entries and levels of trust from sources of the model to ensure it generate good output. Or, as it usually is, could be the insurmountable hump to AGI that takes the next decade to solve. Either way I feel like chatgpt completely lacks this feature at this moment which makes me not worried at all about it taking my job, at most i'm hopeful that it will allow me to bootstrap stuff faster.
Sorry. I am always skeptical when ‘performance’ is naked in the problem statement.

Buying a faster CPU might be the simplest thing that might work.

This is an engineering statement. I know it doesn’t provide the resources you want.

Are answers to Stack Overflow not supposed to be copy pasted, just right away? It seems hard to believe, i thought that was the whole purpose of the site!

Well, copyright suffers from the same problem communism suffers. For communism to work, everyone should be on board. For copyright and patents to work as expected, every country on earth, every town and every city's laws should be almost the same regarding to that. As soon as even just one municipality anywhere on the planet, is free of patent laws, the exact same moment a factory will pop up and produce an expensive patented pharmaceutical product which it will sell for half the price, or 1/10 of the price.

Capitalism on the other hand, works even almost everyone else doesn't like it, and 2 people agree on a peaceful exchange of commodities, following a price the market sets, or it is discovered right away.

As a rule of thumb, anything that requires everyone to implement rules and follow them, for it to work, will fail sooner than later. When a product in some part of the world is selling 100x of the normal price because of some patent, counter incentives are detonated in some other part to produce it and sell it for 50x the price. This huge profit margin creates a chain reaction of other economic actors producing it as well, and selling it for 25x the price.

Additionaly the eating problem can be solved by capitalism, not communism. Exchange of art for electronic money, a marketplace of information is what we need. Bitcoin (not BTC) will play an instrumental role in that.

> But good luck even reading the first few pages if you don't know the basics yet.

I disagree. Page 1 section 1.2: Voltage, current, and resistance. Section 1.2.2: Relationship between voltage and current: resistors. Section 1.2.2 B: Resistors in series and parallel. Section 1.2.3: Voltage dividers. Section 1.2.4: Voltage sources and current sources.

If those aren't the absolute basics, I don't know what is. Yes, it's not "Soldering for Dummies", but that's not what OP was asking for.
You’d think it would be smart enough to know that for this particular question, the details of the answers have not changed since 2021.

Hertz to Pay $168M to Settle False-Arrest Allegations
At the end there is no replacement for responsible people. It is just a matter that with great power comes great responsibility.

I would not bet my safety on more govt. control. Of course my situation is different from many of those people.

At the same time, promoting long-term govt. and state dependence is, IMHO, the wrong choice. As a temporary situation it could be useful, but to promote autonomy when ppl get wealthier, not to make them depend on power.
Damn that's a user hostile site. Ublock origin blocking to the rescue.
Once I rented a Hertz car. A couple hundred miles from where I picked it up, the transmission died. I could only drive in first gear. After spending over an hour trying to get through, the person on the phone actually tried to get me to drive it back - 200 miles, in first gear, on freeways, at my expense.

I finally got it towed because I said I'd just be forced to abandon it.

The real goal is often to reduce the number of people biking. This is why there is strong correlation between supporting mandatory helmet laws (and bicycle taxes, license plates and mandatory training) and opposing safe infrastructure such as segregated bike lanes.
I'm mentally preparing for the inevitable "Microsoft Office Ribbons UI"-esque resentments from the power users in the comments.

They just want it to say "an alternative romanization of Beijing" or something like that instead. As written it sort of implies that "Peking" is the result of romanization while "Beijing" is not.

Wasn't the very first point that ChatGPT got the homework answer completely wrong?

But I do agree with your overall point, that schools and universities will have to embrace these new tools. Vernor Vinge (who was an SDSU maths professor) wrote Rainbow's End on this very subject.
You're misconstruing his comment. Not 'No one needs a Truck'. But, 'Most truck owners don't need a truck". I also will say I don't think anyone is talking about taking the option for owning a Truck away either. There will always be incredibly valid use cases for Trucks (and for a long time still; gas/dies. powered ones).

As you gave an anecdotal response, I'll respond in kind. I actually traded in a Tacoma for my EV. I miss the bed ~5x/year. I didn't need a truck; but i liked the option value. I'll likely get another Truck in the next vehicle cycle in a few years.

Presumably most of these people are normal members of society with, ya know, shit the feds can just take. So I presume most people lawyer up, plead down to guilty with ton of fines and the feds go on their merry way happy to have enforced the law in a way that's cashflow positive (i.e. basically the same situation as tax prosecution).

As far as I can tell the main 'feature' of Windows 11 is a stronger move towards everything-is-a-service (and particularly a service you have to pay for on an ongoing basis). Why else the push to be logged into microsoft and onedrive? Office365 being online only software-as-a-service was just the start. The goal is clear, and its clear its primarily a step backwards for the user.
It's actually not based on other tools, it's automating tasks within Height.app.

None of the alternate themes actually made it into a final release of Mac OS; just Platinum.

There was a fairly healthy third-party theming community, though, and the Apple-developed themes (Memphis, High-Tech, and a sketch-styled theme called Drawing Board) would still work if you got your hands on them.
