Only thing they I would counteract is that at least for those living in cities you aren’t necessary right.

I used to own a car. More then a year ago we moved to a cargo bike (electric) which is enough for most of our needs. It can even have an extra trailer, so we can do all groceries and bring our kids with us, in safety and all weather conditions. Even visits to the recycling park are possible with it.

When we do need a car we use a car sharing service for which i have a subscription and can take any type of car available at any time within walk or cycle distance from my house.

As such i think city families probably are fine just owning a cargo bike (or two) and for long distance trips make use of a shared car (or train).
Assuming you do not get deals:

* $500 for a CPU (7800X starts at $450)

* $60 for a cooler because the Wraith Prism is shit.

* $200 for a motherboard, maybe $100 if you want to try to cheap out and get something that might have unstable voltages, shit PCIe bandwidth or no NVMe slots, etc.

* $200 for 32GB of quality DDR5-4800 (or 5600 if you want to be fancy), and that's easily used up these days.

* $200 for a quality 750W power supply

* $100 for a case with good enough airflow, assuming you don't already have one.

* $200+ for at least 1TB of NVMe storage, easily much more

So, assuming a new build that didn't get incremental upgrades in the past, building a new, powerful PC these days is going to run you $1500. Without even picking any top of the line stuff. Guess what didn't get included in there ? GPUs with their bloody ridiculous prices. If you're going with NVidia, this 4000 generation is a waste if you're buying anything but the 4090. You could absolutely buy a 4080 (or rather a 4070Ti), or a 4070, but they're such a horrible deal in terms of price/performance. And that's going to cost you at the absolute least $800 (for a 4070, which is a dogshit card). Or you can try to find a series 3000, but that's also going to run you $1000+. If you're going with AMD, your problems are similar, for cards that are really subpar. As for Intel, well, let's just say an A770 with your high end CPU might cause a few bottlenecks here and there.

So, yes, if you're lucky enough to find deals _and_ to have stuff that you can still use from an old, recent rig, sure, building a new PC isn't _that_ expensive. If you have to do major upgrades, you're looking at multiple thousands. Pulling that much money out in one go for something that is ultimately not extremely necessary is something that can only be afforded by a very small percentage of people.
And this is disingenuous on several fronts. You're packaging several assumptions into your framing and refusing to allow them to be examined, then responding to any attempt to point them out as if it is irrational fear or a subject change.

Firstly that Fukushima was a severity 5 event rather than a severity 2 event. Even chernobyl and mayak had most of the consequences narrowly avoided by acts of heroism and dumb luck.

Secondly that Gen III+ reactors already eliminate severity 5 events or whatever Gen IV reactor you're imagining will do so once it meets reality in spite of that being the exact same story we were given about Gen II and Gen III.

This can only happen if the physical assumptions about the reactor's normal operational state hold, which can only happen if defense in depth is followed and there is no complacency or corruption and there are no black swan events. This assumption is incompatible with a world in which there isn't constant and strenuous objection and externally imposed accountability to the nuclear industry and sufficient attention to cover all malfeasance in depth. It is only barely compatible with the world we have now.

Thirdly that the severity 2 events with likelyhood of 100% are non-existent, when they have been constant, and the ones that happened 70 years ago are only just having their financial and health consequences felt now.

Then on top of that you're bundling in a bunch of assumptions about upsides that don't exist, and framing any objection based on those as the same allegedly unfounded fear of the same type of failure.

You are the one who is claiming any objection is irrational fear and refusal to accept new information. Refusing to accept any objection that is different is entirely circular.

That raises a practical barrier to forking, but someone who is willing to get a testing suite up and running can fork the project and benefit from upstream changes on an ongoing basis.
Agreed that GP's comment is innacurate on that point, but...

Are you White? That's the differentiatng factor. If you're of South Asian or Chinese or SE Asian origin (not even nationality, origin), you face much less microagressions in other countries than you do in Japan. In general, factoring in CoL and the insular culture, Europe and other Asian countries tend to make sense. Heck, when I was backpacking out in Isan, while a number of people did go work in assembly lines or pick mushrooms in Japan on the JET visa, they preferred South Korea and Taiwan due to a (relatively) less insular culture than Japan, though Germany, the US, and Australia was the more popular option. This is reflected in diaspora demographics as well.
Heh, I believe you. I haven't seen one yet, but looking forward to it.
This is definitely an issue which is well underestimated!

Portugal (e.g in Covas de Barroso) [1] and Spain (e.g. in Cáceres) [2] are facing huge pressure to settle for lithium mines, without much consideration for the social and ecological impacts on those regions...

It is still considered as a green energy, simply because we decide to forget about part of the process.
Just as we did for gas, and plastic.

Energy price should take in account all the impacts (recycling included), the avoid being considered as a magical solution, and rush blindly toward the next crisis..

Ghana is also one of the most stable and democratic African nations today, and the Ashanti Empire was renowned for its advanced political administration, so there's that.
Due to how taboo the topic is, I don't think there's any good statistical evidence to prove whether animated (whether AI or human-made) child porn disincentivizes those people from wanting to harm real children, or if it just feeds their desires far enough to want to take it to the real thing.
This is far from true.
I've no objection to animals being considered sentient, they are independent, I think.

A machine doesn't have senses - it's not alive. It has inputs. I think you are somewhat living within the metaphor that 'we are like computers'. It's a fine metaphor, but you are not in fact a computer (if you are in fact a human, and I cannot tell).

As I have also said, your experience is your own only - you have no way to confirm that other people's experiences are coherent with yours. This is because you only have access to your subjective experience. When looking at the objective world we all experience, it is a fair assumption to believe that the other creatures that are like us also have their own internal experiences, meanings, etc.

I think you would agree that a toy is not sentient. Nor a player piano. No machinery or non living things are sentient, or ever could be. So why would you allow yourself to believe that some machinery is sentient, just because it does a good impression of something that is sentient?

This confusion actually relates so a psychological quirk and misunderstanding we commonly make (and have been taught from birth). We often talk in terms of 'we', eg 'we, the people' - as if one can ever talk for others. We contextualise ourselves as a third party in the objective world, as if we were not having a subjective experience. It's a common use of language (I do it myself) but it is an error, or rather, it is fine for the objective world but does not cover the full range of the human experience. From a subjective perspective, one can only ever talk for oneself, feel for oneself, grasp meaning for oneself. It is illusory to think that anyone else could ever be able to represent you, or that you are able to represent others.

Ultimately, I know this is not an argument I can prove objectively - I'm sure that it is even possible to code an ai to argue as if it did have a rich internal life (which is impossible). Anyone witnessing its argument could agree. But what of it? What if everyone agreed? As I said, meaning resides within the individual, but I think a lot of harm will occur to those with a collective mindset, who will be unable to counter the combative ai in this example - they will cede power, rights, etc to machinery - they will debase themselves.
The dehumanizing name "Human Resources" says it all, doesn't it?

We're not people. We're not even workers. We're just resources that happen to be members of the human species. Similar to other resources like staplers.

There's no perfect euphemism for what HR does, but something like... I don't know... Workforce Management? Would be a little less awful, I think?
Amazon is currently generating around $11B in annual net income. They don’t need to lay anyone off.

The idea that it’s customary to temporarily ruin a ton of employee-stakeholder’s lives in order not to save the company but simply to maintain a high rate of capital accruing to the investor-stakeholders is a good example of the casual sociopathy of modern capitalism that emboldens its hard left-wing critics, particularly young people in the United States who have never in their lifetime seen functional institutions, only their social damage.
Even in California, you can get sued for violating an NDA when going to competitor if you bring private technical data, which seems like a reasonable compromise. You can bring your expertise, but no code. Intersecting with this are patents. A company can also protect its IP with patents, but when should choose to disallow, or have more liberal patent laws? It seems there are similar tradeoff between the value to companies, competitors and public interests.
Of course, but that would be a completely different scenario.

Frankly having my own charger at home would make owning a full EV even more convenient over the hybrid.
Yea, sadly I can relate to this quote. Modern science has lost it voice and purpose it seems and it nothing more than a glorified printing press of poor research and glad-handing consortiums.
Are there any products or tools for managing this kind of thing?

I generally want my lists of books/films/music playlists whatever that I've seen, reviewed or marked as "to watch" to be managed seperately from any one particular vendor, and owned by me.

There seems to be some movement towards this with e.g. smart TVs that will search all your apps for shows, and sites that will tell you where a specific film or show is available, but I've not seen anything either super geeky, or super easy to use.
sorry! how do I know which is the "correct" post vs the one that gets buried.
I agree with that point, but this article basically just a report of one small piece of a huge issue we've known about for years, that so obviously encompasses both sides of the political spectrum, and tries to use it to make the left look bad. Which I agree, they do suck, for things like this and many others, but so does the right and the center and every other direction you can think of.

This actively harms the progress in general social awareness made by Snowden, by reducing the issue to a single party who is no more responsible than the other party - as if we could fix it by voting out democrats. This article would be so much better if it were merely useless
That's a lot of asphalt.

I'm not so sure that number supports your assertion
If you're hiring a top law firm. Plenty of lawyers can be had for $100/hour and are well qualified to review employment terms.
A number of books I've been reading aloud leave out the comma after a prepositional phrase (and friends), and it totally throws off my cadence.
I get the whole "HR can be evil" point, but this article could have also been, "Having friends in management is fine, but management is not your friend".

Personally, I'm so sick of the cynicism in general. Can we make points and articles about protecting yourself, as an employee, without resorting to such things?

As a manager in a company, I've both had friends in HR and also had HR been my friend. Need to fire that horrible employee who is demoralizing the team and not being productive? HR is your friend. Need to hire the next best engineer? HR is my friend.

Have I seen horrible, Catbert-like HR managers and people? Of course. In all levels of an organization, people can be horrible. Why round everything up to the cynical points just to get clicks?

Thank you!

Honestly this is one of my biggest pet peeves with any “consult a $SPECIALIST” advice.
Yes, if my money and time were endless, this is sound advice.

Tangentially, when I express frustration at police incompetence in knowing the law (I live in the US, and many law enforcement officers are under-trained), a common response is “this shouldn’t be an issue as you can follow up in court and get the charges dismissed, or even sue the city”.
Again, fair suggestion if I have dozens of hours of time on my hand and thousands in lawyer fees to burn.
Some have even compared them to psychopaths .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_(2003_film) .. which seems fair.
At an all hands I once saw an employee ask a question to leadership for legal advice in a class action against the company itself.

Waze is not able to plan a route with all the charging stops you need. Waze is fairly bad in an EV.
This gets even trickier for HR employees themselves - their job is to look out for the company, while at the same time they're an employee of the company who needs to look out for their own personal interests.
AFAIK, using these images for training without proper consent makes the resulting dataset and model legally problematic.

I don't really think of route based "load balancing" as load balancing. That's routing, or a reverse proxy. Not load balancing. Load balancing is a very specific type of reverse proxy.

The point is, if a client makes a request to a server, the response should always be the same, no matter where the load balancer sends the request to. Which means it should run the same code.

Nginx doesn't even mention route based or endpoint based load balancing in their docs. Maybe they don't consider it load balancing either.

Well for starters Sacramento is just a really poor example. Most of CA isn't. It's a consequence of hyper aggressive SFH zoning (~80% of the SCAG area is SFH, used to be even higher) and the era in which CA grew being the mid century period.

There basically aren't any properly transit served and walkable areas in Sacramento. Closest would be Midtown and Richmond Grove, but they aren't really very good at all compared to neighborhoods in cities with actual infrastructure.

But despite that they are _still_ some of the most expensive neighborhoods in the area on a cost to sq foot basis. The trend of walkable transit served areas being in high demand is near universal across the US.
The main reason it's not worth it is because renewables are still negligible. This is likely to change once they aren't and the demand for storage becomes much higher.
Hmm...must be something else in the environment then. I lost weight effortlessly while living in Europe but I always assumed that was due to being cut off from processed foods and food items with unnecessary additives. It's nearly impossible for me to maintain an equally healthy diet here in the US because it's simply too annoying and it's also much easier to give into the temptation to eat junk food. I'm too lazy for things like dried beans though, I always prefer canned (as long as I can get the ones that are just beans, water and salt).

Firebase is the other only RDBMS that could ship embedded but not on iOS/android (and maybe other exotic setups). After this, good luck finding a RDBMS you can use without a server!.
While I appreciate the sentiment, nearly all new knowledge goes through peer review because for every important problem in academia, there's a competitor who is the best person to point out problems with the theory.

"Holistic management of agriculture to fight desertification" is a non-quantitative science and falls under a very different regime from, say, people working at the state of the art in particle physics or biology.
I think there's the additional question of "how often should we just replace a building"? I've unfortunately made the realization after remodeling our 60 year old house that we should have just torn the house down.
This is both something I support (a huge win for labor), and it will accelerate the tech giants shifting work overseas to save money (incomes will rise as labor is able to more freely act to take advantage of opportunity, big tech will have to pay more for the same labor; to offset, they'll attempt to offshore more aggressively).
The Fourth Amendment quite literally has the words "unlawful search and seizure". I want people to remember that whenever they're pushing the propaganda that is the originalist or textualist interpretation of the Constitution by the Supreme Court. That propaganda is a lie.

I understand the mental gymanstics used to justify this, in that the property is the defendant in a civil action (for a suspected criminal act by its owner, no less). The end result is what we see here: civil asset forfeiture and absolutely no protection against unlawful seizure.

Now a lot of people won't care about this because it's SBF and it looks pretty likely that he's guilty. At least there's a criminal indictment in this case. If the government has this power (and, again, I think they should not) this use seems appropriate.

But the government doesn't require a criminal indictment at all (let alone a conviction) to use this power. Consider the case of Amy Nelson [1]. At the behest of Amazon, the Department of Justice seized the bank accounts of her, her husband, a bunch of employees of a company and even their lawyers who worked for a law firm, ultimately charging nobody with anything and returning 85% of the money 2 years later once the Nelsons agreed not to sue the government.

Also, SBF gave tens of millions in donations to both parties in the recent midterms. If the Robinhood shares are fair game, why aren't the donations?

AI is not alien, it’s us
> It sounds like you’re proposing that someone should create their own fork. That’s always an option, and I encourage everyone to. But what else is the proposal here? Forcibly move the repo? It doesn’t really make sense.

I like how you realize exactly what they're proposing, but proceed build a strawman that the comment didn't propose so you can forcefully tear it down.

In general it doesn't seem likely that in the long term AUTOMATIC1111's project will sfay the defacto SD interface.

We're already seeing more polished efforts like InvokeAI and various desktop clients, the field just moves so quickly that of course, the least structured interface with little to no interest in licensing concerns and the like is able to integrate new features very quickly.

But there will be points where things stabilize, if only temporarily, and that's where we should see alternatives start to make ground.

So, as fastaguy88 already described in another comment, this paper is a fairly arbitrary quantification of “disruptive”. (Also, can we just stop using that word? Such a though-terminating cliche at this point.)

But let’s accept that we are seeing less fundamental breakthroughs in science. Is that a failure of the system…or, depressingly, what if we really are hitting the limits of what we can model and describe?

In a roughly 200 year timespan, we figured out the at least the rough outlines of…wow, where even to start…electromagnetism, general and special relativity, quantum mechanics as it relates to field theories and chemistry, genetics, and computability. We really picked a lot of the low-hanging fruit, and what if there just isn’t any fruit left to easily get at? There’s certainly things like dark energy that we don’t have particularly satisfying theories for at all, but, the basics? We seem to have good models.

Air India particularly has a terrible reputation in all my travel experience. It doesn't surprise me they were callous in responding to this horrible incident. I have had two incidents, albeit much lesser grievous, to share about their ground staff & cabin crew conduct:

* On AI flight from Chicago O'Hare to New Delhi, my hand luggage had a set of Feynman lectures which made it go past slightly over 7 kilos (less than 8 for sure). Staff refused to accommodate it & my bag was already checked in. I had to let go of my bookset which was promptly scooped up by the same booking staff, who admitted sheepishly she has a college going kid & it "might come handy". That moment felt like daylight robbery.

* On AI flight from London, I had booked Economy plus, but I was shunted out of my seat unceremoniously & put in regular economy to accommodate a family flying together. Since I had paid extra, I asked if I could be given the bulkhead at least, which was refused. I was again shifted from my aisle to a different seat in middle row to accomodate an elderly gentleman. I asked to file a complaint - and they gave a sheet of paper, which I am certain got trashed because I never received a follow up from airline. I was not reimbursed for difference of fare between Economy Plus & Economy.

Spotting a rodent in the cabin & clogged toilets were also an issue on a separate domestic flight.
"Near zero" is an extremely misleading term.

For small teams it's 0.1%. For large teams it's 0.001%.

Both are near zero. But one is 100 times more likely than the other.
Haha, no no, TI makes components too, and sells them by the thousands+ even to small customers :)
