> local terrestrial radio

My wife and I accidentally turned on AM radio recently.

For 30 minutes, we listened to an insane infomercial about this special tea that can supposedly cure cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.

It was the hardest we've laughed together in years!

It's weird to think how sanitized my inputs have become over the years. All my feeds are so clean and curated or guided by opaque recommendations algorithms.
Outside America this has been pretty common or even worse. FTSE100 (UK), CAC40 (France) are right now trading the same values as 1999. Nikkei is the same level as 1988. HK is same as 2007.

I think there’s an xkcd on modeling complex systems with a single parameter: https://xkcd.com/793/.

More seriously, I think the predictive power of this hypothesis is low. Clearly travel time is important to maintaining a connected empire but it’s probably not the limiting factor.
The Great Salt Lake is starting to look like the Salton sea [1] which is considered the largest environmental catastrophe in California history. If this keeps going SLC may quickly become unlivable. I still remember the smell in the LA basin when the winds blew from the Sea and it was awful - think that smell around large colonies of seabirds with a tinge of death.

Well, he also decided it was appropriate to insult the physical appearance of grad students on twitter who disagreed with him. He definitely didn't come out of covid looking fully dispassionate.
So interesting that we (as humans in a system) can choose to fly snow in so we can keep making money even though Mother Nature is clearly telling is we’ve taken too much.

Is there nothing the pursuit of profit won’t exploit?
I don't like your phrasing this as the need to attack something unfactual or not, and it's not 'other matters' it is precisely this matter: to come up with stuff that goes against established science in a way that makes it difficult, if not impossible to argue with.
Yes, muscle memory :)
There's no need. Anyone who believes that general AI is within reach is not smart enough to strive for it anyway.
Reddit allowing moderators to lock threads was a mistake. It just enables lazy mods to be even lazier.
I agree - I mostly get ads for things I'm actually interested in (e.g. furniture), and I don't usually buy anything from them, but it at least makes me aware that there may be a new style of products available for when I next need to make a purchase. Also on occasion there will be an advert for something which I wasn't aware existed, or which shows me a new idea to consider. I'm also happy to see ads as an alternative to having to pay for access to a site.
One might paraphrase that as "those who can afford to wait".
Carbon monoxide is flammable, and OSHA lists explosive limits for it, so apparently some mixtures can explode: https://www.osha.gov/chemicaldata/462
You can't add 20+ million imigrants to Germany (and that's what's they'd need over the course of the next decade or two in order to avoid demographic collapse) without massive social problems and/or Germany no longer being Germany.
> Hmmm, it doesn't say in https://lnav.org/features#automatic-log-format-detection but i see that at least json (and xml) is mentioned under the pretty-printing header.

Yes, I should mention it on the features page. It's currently only mentioned in the main docs:

I’m not an FOSS folk. I’ve shipped a lot of games. I spend 95% of my dev time on Windows.

> many studios actually enjoy the perks that come with being platform exclusives

Yes, building a game for a single fixed piece of hardware is great fun. But we live in the cross-platform age. As practical matter the Xbox One and Xbox Series Blah are losers. Shipping for Xbox but not Playstation (and often times Switch) is just leaving money on the table.

The list of “games released only on Windows and Xbox” is very small.
[AWS engineer here] You're right. It's encryption at rest. The article reads like it's been written by someone who doesn't understand how those leaks occurred, what encryption means, or what has been launched here.

I'd recommend changing from this article to the official announcement from AWS.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-encrypts-new-obje...
Not really. But it is not edible for over 70% of the planet's population (lactose intolerance).
The question is: what do the agricultural business interests plan to do? They basically have two strategic choices: 1) try to fix things, taking a short term hit for long-term business sustainability, 2) obstruct fixing things, extracting as much value as they can before the collapse, and plan to exit as soon as the collapse really starts to hurt.

If the businesses go with option 2, you're basically SoL unless someone attempts to stand up to them.
More importantly every nation is competing for a shrinking pile of consumers. Old people can be extremely productive, but they don't buy nearly as much on average, so all that productivity has nowhere to go if there are fewer young people to sell to.
Any good resources to learn how to set this up for a layman that enjoys sparkling water?
I feel like me keeping copies of all the code I've ever written is a awkwardly good analogy here.
For some specific definition of "conscious"? Maybe. For other definitions? Probably not.

For what everyone means by "conscious"? Hah, first define what everyone means.
The question is whether the power and influence of the U.S. will grow similarly over the next 150 years as it has over the last 150.

It does not need to . What matters is how much profits large companies are earning. There is no indication that profits are slowing. Even if GDP only grows at 2%/year, if multinationals generate 10% annual profit margins, that is $ that must still go to investors even if GDP growth is much lower.

When you compare foreign markets to the US, the US still comes out ahead by almost every metric. There is little indication to suggest this will change. Every problem that the US has, other countries have worse. So relatively speaking ,the US still will be ahead.
Convince the electorate. People are challenging.
> Programmers are only freaking out about copyright because they naively believe AI can never automate them out of a job

That's the crazy thing, programmers have already automated their job away but no one has realized yet! Behind our backs they just input a description of what they want into their "compilers" and the friggin thing spits out a ready to go program that does exactly what they asked! The prompt usually needs a bit of fiddling to make it work correctly, but anyone could do that right?
Honestly, I've tried a few myself, and none of them were that great. The Orbi was pretty fast, but the satellite needed rebooting every couple of weeks.

I ended up going for in-ceiling AP's, having the house wired for Ethernet, and powering them with PoE. Now the network is faultless.
The "stylist" part of Stitch Fix disappointed me the most. I had a different stylist each time even when I didn't request a change and none of them seemed to take feedback into account in the selections. It made me doubt that the "stylist" was anything but a vague algorithm with a boilerplate letter generator.
I read this as Buffet criticizing the validity of using the DJIA as a proxy for real market performance.

I'm not an economist or big time investor but even I know to basically ignore the DJIA for all useful purposes.
See links above in this thread. Residential use (including lawns) is a pittance compared to agricultural use.
The coder that thinks that making the first decision about their own code entitles them to everyone else's.
Just looked up stitch fix to see what that was since I never heard of it. First results include news stories of the CEO stepping down and laying off 20% of its workforce in the last 24 hours. Ouch.
I don't think you are off the mark.

> Server-Side Encryption – Request Amazon S3 to encrypt your object before saving it on disks in its data centers and then decrypt it when you download the objects.

Yes it looks like it's at rest. It automatically decrypts if you go through S3 APIs to access the objects. The big leaks were due to S3 buckets being public which I believe means that this new encryption on by default won't actually help.

The only thing Encryption at rest gives you is comfort in knowing if Amazon servers get compromised - not if your servers that have permissions to pull the data get compromised.

With that said, it is a good step in the right direction. And additional security added helps address at least some use cases.
> And slavery is banned in all states.

This is, as pointed out in the 13th amendment, not correct. Slavery is only conditionally banned, and it continues under official policy. Millions are still enslaved in the US.
TJ’s are better than most cafes in the US for nearly $1 each, too good.
Why do we make analogies to people? Machines have no rights of expression or inherent freedoms. There is no "learning", we're not "teaching" the machine anything. It boils down to heuristics and statistics. Imagine we're in the 1930s with no computers: If I were to study every every Agatha Christie book and write my own based on statistical likelihoods of words, characters, plot elements etc. I would be seen as a copy-cat hack-fraud author or worse. If I were to take inspiration of the crime/thriller/detective genre and write my own story in my own universe then I would be simply an author within the same genre.

ChatGPT/"ML" copy the fine details. We're getting artists signatures turn up in generated work... That's not inspiration, and I would argue not even transformative.
There are AI approaches that generate images one brush stroke at a time. I can imagine that going from that to a robot arm laying them down on physical medium if it isn't already a widespread thing.

Disney uses a robot Spiderman stunt double to be able to launch it into the air and do aerial acrobatics, edging into the dance example.
British Raj is a great argument for the article, started in 1858 and lasted less than a century, a blip in the historical context, as power projection was a recurring problem.
> Since this is based on the speed of light, it could be the maximum size for any empire in the universe without the use of some kind of FTL technology.

That assumes that the "1 month from capital" is universal. Maybe humans are just quarrelsome, and if uplifted capybaras would rule an empire they could keep it together even if their empire has a 2 year radius. Who knows.

There's a considerable perception that politicians serve their corporate donors more than their voters, as well as there being an extreme level of excess spending without getting outcomes.

Sometimes these combine. Like, if the state wants to build a new road, they'll give the contract to whoever is going to donate the most to the governor's campaign during the next election, even if that means it costs a lot more.

It doesn't help that our voting system creates a scenario that will always devolve into just two political parties. Any third party candidate ends up being a spoiler for a similar party and guarantees a victory for the other major party. This is why Democrats are hoping Trump runs for President as a third party, as it would split the Republican vote and hand the Democrats an effortless win.

We only have direct democracy for local and state offices. Presidential elections are not a direct democracy.
Bit of a niche comparison, but I think this is what has kept the long-running /tg/station13 project (major branch of the open source video game Space Station 13) going. The administrator who owns the servers rarely interacts with the community or his own coders, and basically only maintains completely uncontroversial and mission-critical components of the project (like devops stuff). This of course keeps the drama within the community insulated from the running of the servers themselves.

It’s quite a lot of extra salinity too considering it’s already the great salt lake, and more salty than the oceans.
I have no experience here, but I'd guess they would. It would be better to guarantee a sale than alienate a customer who would consider returning of the experience went well.
I for one welcome our big brain mouse overlords. We frankly know more about them than we know about ourselves.
What portable bidet do you use? I've found the ones I tried super weak.
Yes, if you read the rest of my comment I explained why. Canada has had a very big (relatively speaking) influx of deeply loyal british-american refugees that often directly fought the revolutionaries down south.

That meant that the early history of english canada was very deeply influenced by an almost identity defining loyalism to britain, because those refugees often left everything behind in the US to stay loyal the crown. In a way, being british was the entire point of early anglocanadian identity.

I think that makes it pretty different from Australia, a penal colony and South Africa which was conquered more than colonized (and was very hard to hold on for the british). I was more trying to explain why Canada was an outlier in the Americas, and how Britain managed to hold it very easily for so long, even with a free population and little direct military occupation.
There's so many exceptions. Does the article address any of these?
It's no wonder really. It's asynchronous IO + thread pool serving currently available to run goroutine, it will run few threads even if code is just a single function calling other functions.
That is an advertised feature, so I assume that the lawyers have looked into those health claims as somewhat defensible.

First, they do seal, so even if it's not as tight as a foam earplug, it is something.

Second, there's the ANC which is producing out of phase sound and lowering the sound pressure level reaching your ear. I have seen commercial hearing protection with ANC, though I'm not sure if it's allowed to be advertised as such. The theory is sensible at least.

Thirdly, the ANC is allowing you to listen to your audio content at lower volumes, especially in a very loud environment like an airplane.

Fourthly, there's an advertised hearing protection feature in passthrough mode where external noises loud enough to cause hearing damage will be automatically reduced.

Fifthly, There are sound pressure measurements being sent to the iphone for audio content loudness in real time, and also over time notifications you receive if you have been listening too loudly.

So all in all, yes in practice, but we're not exactly talking OSHA here.
Fundamental misunderstanding of what art is.
I didn't know what a negative prompt is.

I've used my ignorance as an opportunity for others to better interpret this also.
I have an Intel Nuc running Ubuntu, and an ASUS router that I installed the WRT Merlin firmware on. The NUC is running K3S, which I installed to learn Kubernetes, mostly. I don't really need it, tbh. NGINX + apps as systemd services would work just fine.

The most useful thing I use it for is exposing the test environment on my laptop to a local DNS so I can test on mobile and other computers. It also serves as a location to point backups to. Additionally, I point a sub domain off my website to a small service I expose for file sharing with friends. It's not accepting requests all the time though. Just when I have something to put up there.

Would like to put movies and music on it eventually to stream to the rest of my network.
Looks like lifetime memberships (mentioned in sibling comments) are a special offering.

I couldn't agree with this more. I feel like those if us in rich countries are outsourcing low wages, shitty conditions, pollution, and other seedy regulatory skirting practices.

I try to buy as close to local, regional, national, etc as possible for this reason.
Stable Diffusion 2.0 has already made changes to make infringement harder by removing names of artists and celebrities from the dataset, which is probably the right move -- now if you want to emulate e.g. Greg Rutkowski you actually have to figure out how to describe his style in the prompt, teaching you a little about what makes his art special and making it easier to create your own style along the way.
wow, starting to feel like papers are not a good metric for scientific progress. Who would've thought...
> Not every language evolution is a cautionary tale. Java, C#, PHP, JS have grown a lot and are fine.

I find it very weird that anyone would think that any programming language is even remotely fine. Everything is a mess, there are terrible compromises to be made everywhere between expressivity, readability, build-time performance, run-time performance, safety, language community, etc etc. A language will be "fine" the day there's no compromise to be made anymore and it outclasses everything else before it on every metric relevant to shipping good software fast to end user while enjoying the process.
It’s a bit like setting a budget target at at ‘doesn’t hemorrhage cash’. Better than ‘rapidly increasing flood of red ink’ I guess?
Another thing to consider is that the pointers may be writable, but changing them causes harm. E.g. suppose argv[] is prepared by a function which dynamically allocates each pointer, and then the run-time calls free on it when the program exits. According to ISO C, that would be conforming.

I don't know of any platform where there are any ill effects. But the number of platforms out there with C implementations is much larger than my direct experience. Maybe this is just some historic baggage that is overdue for a revision. It was discussed in 1998, but no changes were accepted at the time.

In most coding situations, I probably wouldn't care, the same way I don't care about, say, platforms where for some reason you cannot compare pointers to distinct objects using inequality (another thing not required by ISO C). It's better to break the rules knowingly, though. You want to be badass, not dumbass.

If decryption takes place on a different machine than the stored data, there's plenty you can do to separate how those are accessed. It's not a perfect system, but it is a legitimate extra layer of security.
Maybe they will? They still have that data and the kind of people to make such a service.

I've been thinking about upgrading my computer A/V but haven't taken the plunge. Seems like a bit of a potential rabbit hole for me.

My item is a 65W GaN (gallium nitride) USB C/A wall charger. It can charge pretty much everything I own and is tiny compared to the Apple 65W charger. It has 1 Type-C and 2 Type-A but if you use more than one then the wattage splits (not 50/50 more goes to the C or one of the A ports).
Java is a pretty big island just saying.

> The question is whether the power and influence of the U.S. will grow similarly over the next 150 years as it has over the last 150.

Over the next 150 years I have no idea. But over the next 30-50 then almost certainly. No other country is even close and most seem quite comfortable with the global state of affairs all things considered. USA hegemony has created a stable world where the vast majority of people are far better off than their ancestors. It isn't perfect of course but there's no reason to think anyone else would do better. Especially when compared to the previous tenant, Europe.
s/phantom/fathom/ I assume your computer did that?

I'd say computer programming is different than reading comprehension. Compiling is perfectly appropriate for a machine to give you feedback: the process is mechanical and the machine has good information.

> Teaching is a frustrating job...

Right: that's the problem to solve. (I'm assuming you're not talking about, er, having hired people to be teachers who don't actually want or enjoy the job, eh?)

> ...you have to make students repeat things over and over...

I would say that that's a obsolete method of teaching: in 2023 we know enough about memory now to teach mnemonics. But that's kind of a tangent.

> ...students ashamed and the teachers bored...

More symptoms of a broken system, IMO.

We have much better systems and techniques for education than we generally use now. (In my experience school (public school at least) functions more as a warehouse to keep kids out of the way, and any educational effects are secondary. That's the problem we should be trying to solve, with AI or anything else...)

My point is that computers and robots should do the scut work to free up the adults to do the important human activities like teaching our young.
Only on older CPUs, they started fusing off AVX512 on newer silicon batches (even on 12th gen)

I bought a longboard and it was the most fun I have had doing an activity outdoors for years. it was a bit of trick to get used to it, but then I used it more than any other type of mode of transport. Great for balance, relaxation, and getting some exercise.

And carving is so fun!
The real move is to get in the habit of forbidding your fancy stuff by default, and then using "closest material" and "keep building after placement" for all furniture.
The US copyright office has stated that game mechanics are not copyrightable. So rolling a d20, the 6 attributes, etc. The actual words on page are copyrightable though. You obviously can't copyright 'bears' as monsters, but beholders and mindflayers, etc are copyrighted. The specific stats are a grey area, but if you 'clean room' your bestiary, you should be good.

You are absolutely right about this being more of a promise not to sue, more than anything else.
The laziest thing to do is to not do anything and let someone else moderate. While the disagreements over moderation are normal, complains about volunteers being "lazy" for not doing impossible are absurd.
Lots of Googling, then a little calling around. I started with one in my neighborhood who also runs a hair salon, who was also the only one I found who specifically advertised a masculine-specific wardrobe assessment service.

When I described my problem, she gave me a shortlist of several other stylists who were outside of what I thought I was looking for, like FernDate, Duchess, and some local vintage-specific pickers who just aren't online.

2022:

DevonThink - My digital life has never been so well organised.

Omnifocus - My task management has never been so well organised.

BusyCal - My time management have never been so well organised.

Handheld Scientific BT-500 - Allows me to use my mechanical split keyboard wirelessly.

So far in 2023:

Nebo Notes - Allows me to write long form with Apple Pencil on iPad and convert it all to text afterwards far better than any other app on the App Store I've encountered.

Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Transmitter - Was getting stuttering with Bluetooth headphones on my MacBook that was making them virtually unusable. Connected the headphones to this and I now have zero issues.
