What's your budget?

If you want heated anything or a blower, you'll first need to consider how you'll get power to your toilet's location. If, however, a cold water bidet is fine then just grab a cheap LUXE.

A TOTO WASHLET is still the gold standard though. That's what I own, and it has been great. Only thing I wish was slightly better was the blow-dryer. The pre-rinse/pre-mist is legit good in terms of keeping the toilet cleaner for longer.

PS - Quick note about mechanical bidets like the LUXE, it has no sensors/safety features. So if a child goes in, turns it on, and runs away it WILL flood your home. TOTO and similar quality bidets automatically turn off the water when weight isn't detected on the seat.
I'll also suggest John Helmer Haberdashery in Portland.

I'm very happy with the service and the suit I got there.
It's one of those things that people from cultures that don't eat rice don't understand until they get one. There's a reason why every asian household has one.
This is a short article about allowing RAM sizes that aren't powers of 2, like 24 GB or 48 GB instead of just the steps 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB. I initially thought this was going to be about using multiple states on the data pins to encode more bits per clock.
Fine, DNA contains the instructions for much more than the production of proteins
I like great coffee more than I like espresso. We recently added on a milk steamer to our aeropress setup and now I can make my favorite drink at home: the humble cafe au lait.
> I really hoped this would finally result in a fully integrated ZFS with a Linux distro.

What would this look like? In what ways do existing distros fail to live up to that vision?
>Porn is exaggerated, often violent and extremely degrading

Wait.. this is your whole point? Your argument is based on... that?

"extremely degrading" is completely arbitrary- and many people enjoy being degraded or to degregate someone to some degree during sex. That's literally why people watch it. But I guess that's just too real of a concept for you to grasp. As I said in my other post, the scenes during a romance movie where the girl lays on her back and everyone has gentle boring sex is NOT reality. Porn is closer to reality than that.

And you do realize that almost EVERY type of every media you see/read is exaggerated?

Ever watch a romance movie before? Ever read a romance novel? That's not how shit works in real life. Should we ban that as well because teenage girls are going to watch it and think that's how things work?

Which is why all you need to do is TALK with your children openly about sex and just put a few things in the right context. Just like you should talk to them about anything (violence in movies, romance in movies) and put it in the right context.

It's ridiculous how afraid of sex you are. Grow up and stop trying to limit people with your prudishness.
I've pared things down quite a bit lately; the setup here used to be:

- A Mac Mini, a Pi 4 with SSD and 8GB RAM and a Pi 3B+ forming a "multi-room" Kubernetes cluster with the idea that sensors and automation for each room (that had one) could be run locally in that room, including wired sensors, all connected by Kafka running on one of the Pis; that way I could just plug in another sensor and the local pod would know what to do with it. I never found a reliable way to allow pods to use serial devices and such, so while it's been fun, shifting priorities mean I had to scale it down to just the Pi 4 running HASS, Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, NodeRed, uStreamer and a simple homebrew TTS API based on espeak. It's all docker-compose now, since docker works a lot more reliable with devices. It's a real shame, kustomize/flux/k8s is so much nicer for robustness and easy configuring (a second, different instance of my stack is running elsewhere, so I need that) and monitoring, debugging, ... is way more convenient, but I need those sensors to work and I can't spend as much time fiddling with it as I previously did, so it's docker-compose and Ansible for now.

- A Pi 3 running OctoPrint; since made redundant as my 3D printer (Prusa Mini) got the ability print over LAN with the last update. The webcam I use to monitor it is now running via uStreamer on the Pi 4. It's going to become the brains for the Freenove Big Hexapod Robot kit I've been gifted last Christmas.

- A Pi Zero W running a large-ish e-ink display with weather data and things like that. Still around, terribly useful, I'd love to have a second (but possibly one that doesn't take seconds to refresh...)

- A Synology running a Prometheus/Grafana stack, a MySQL, a docker registry for the Kubernetes cluster, Gitea with all the manifests and flux config so I could rebuild the Kubernetes cluster without internet access. Also still around, but I'll get rid of some of the stuff running on there. Reducing its attack surface and such.

And I'm using Tailscale like everyone else these days.
You are correct about logistics, but that is such a small part of DF to nitpick on that I have to push back. The logistics aren't the Fun part, and no other game has come close to DF on the Fun stuff.

DF things that come to mind that no other colony-sim has:

- 3 dimensions (z-levels) and all of the shenanigans (hydraulics, creative traps, etc) that go with them
- geological and historical civilization simulation
- the inter-relatedness of the game session to the history of the world is a story-generating masterpiece.
- The "zones" (surface, caverns, spoilery places) and how different they feel. Oxygen Not Included does this kinda, but not as deeply.
- Three different games in one using the same procedural engine and world: Adventure Mode, Legends Mode, Fortress Mode (Steam edition is currently missing Adventure mode and it will probably be a while).
- The "flavor" procedural systems: Villain, Religion, Instrument/Music, Literature, Forgotten Beasts. They don't have tons of impact on gameplay, but it makes the lore so much more rich.
- Sub-biome "surroundings" regions (Good, Evil, Savage, Benign) which have large effects on gameplay. Evil areas can be hilarious Fun.
- the pacing feels just right to me. It's not realistic from a simulation perspective (skills increase too quickly, it takes very little time to build complex things, etc), but it "gets to the good parts" in a very satisfying duration in my opinion. The combat takes longer than it should, but then stories can happen.

This game is a wonder.
Different scale of seriousness. If the whole world goes into a recession there is a big difference between food shortages that you can buy your way out of with cash and food shortages that come as a result of societal collapse and money being worthless.

Being rich only matters as long as your investments/assets hold any value. If truly serious problems around your investments go to 0, your assets are only worth something as long as you can maintain control of them (police won't be around, nor will judges be) and even then your car will be worthless without gas.

It all depends on what meaning a person assigns to "serious" in this context. Personally as long as being rich solves my Problems I wouldn't describe any situation as serious.
Honestly I havent tried much sharing with web but I can at least vouch for sharing between iOS and Android which seems to work mostly. In a few years time I think it will become much more easy and bulletproof than it is now. Making two different apps in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose seems overkill already.

Dunno how that would isolate the sample, rather than just analyzing it though
Obtaining "consent" via nagwalls and other dark patterns doesn't seem like its actually legal per the GDPR. Rather the enforcement is just so slow moving that it appears that way. So your complaint seems akin to saying that the laws against physical assault are pointless, because you were attacked and the police didn't find your assailant.
Thanks for your comment! As of right now, We aren't a tool that diagnoses or assesses in a formal way (though we may move in that direction in the future). Research shows that the number of children who read for pleasure is the lowest it has been in decades. Additionally, many children don't read at home at all, and resist parent (and school) bids to have them read at home independently. Ello's focus is more on making reading for fun a more supported experience where the kids have an opportunity to learn in the moment (using evidence-based strategies). We support comprehension through commentary Ello makes (summarizing and commenting as the child reads) rather than testing or assessing the child's comprehension skills. This was a purposeful choice. Hyperlexia isn't something that can be "created" through reading independently (Elizabeth here, child clinical psychologist and co-founder of Ello). It is a (relatively rare) disorder where very young children decode far above grade level. In most cases, this is flagged in schools, and would be flagged for us if a parent reported a very high reading ability for their child's age (which is usually the opposite profile of our customer). However, you are correct that hyperlexia is a learning difference where there is decoding without meaning. Generally, we send books for children that are at or below grade level in reading for practice with reading fluency. We aren't a full service curriculum (and have designed our program to focus on enjoyment and time in text).
Because instead of doing a tutorial I've actually made a couple websites using Node JS, Express, and Heroku.

The code it gives seems pretty good but not perfect. It's good enough for me to take it and change it as needed.

But the code itself isn't the biggest learning aid. It's troubleshooting problems.

When I hit an error - not just within the code but with deployment too - I just pop it into ChatGPT and it will give me suggestions on what might be wrong. This has been phenomenonal.

Previously I lacked the confidence to take on building interactive websites because when I ran into issues deploying it, I found it difficult to figure out why. ChatGPT seems to have a lot of troubleshooting information available and it is very good at giving multiple suggestions to fix the problem.

Honestly I'm guessing it's superior to having a knowledgeable human helping me, because no human could possibly create a text response in seconds giving three different explanations for why my Heroku logs are giving me a particular error.
Thanks for the tip, but I already tried that :(

- Web player: Video works, audio is broken.

- Integrated player or External player: Unable to load media info from server

no idea why it can't load the media info from the server, might have to dig into the logs...streaming via PC or TV works so it's not a network issue.
Not a meteorologist, but from my understanding that would be quite unlikely[1]. Furthermore, it seems odd that warmer temperatures in the area they are migrating to would trigger an early arrival (how would they know?). A more plausible hypothesis might be abnormally cool summer/early fall in the southern hemisphere, or other conditions local to the swallows southern nesting sites.

Thanks for posting, this topic really interests me: Broadly speaking, the idea that one person may directly perceive a sensory object in completely different way as compared to another person. In the case of synaesthesia I understand it's more of an associative perception.

I'm particularly interested in situations in which the perception differential between two people seems more volatile, as is seen with synaesthesia. E.g. seeing lines and shapes with less variance, and colors with more variance [1] --especially for example with objects/experiences like those in set A (maybe letters and numbers), and not so much variance either way with objects/experiences in set B (some other set of objects).

I'd also be interested to know about situations which are less associative--a party involuntarily sees an entirely different object in direct terms. There are reported cases where this has happened, but I haven't seen any related back to synaesthesia for example.

Finally, I have met some people who will more excitedly report being _able to_ experience synaesthesia, and I am interested in the way this subjective interest/energy-stoking activity may map onto other personality dynamics. To me there may be some energy to be captured by prompts to consciously make use of this perception.

Arc definitely has some features that I really like. Wish they would've released it on other platforms too as I'm not always using my Mac for everything that I do day-to-day.
I'm thinking like when you're working out or in the car, when you get a text message it's read in the Siri voice, but it'd be nifty if it was read in the voice of the person who sent the message.

Also I believe ChatGPT and other models could be trained to understand where inflection should go. It already uses the chat history as input for it's next output.

DJIA is a decent proxy for market returns. If you don't think so, just look at the DJIA and the s&p total return index. They track pretty closely overall.

Inflation is a thing you know?
My experience with the legal system has been that judges and officers don’t really use discretion at all and hand down sentences in a similar way to an automated system. A judge will not be moved by or even listen to an impassioned speech by the defendant.
Perhaps because I am inexperienced, I don't understand how software is much more complicated than other stuff, like electronics engineering or industrial engineering. Those are expensive to debug and have complicated interactions, yet engineers somehow can find ways to make them robust without the cost skyrocketing.

Perhaps because software is now the interface between different systems, and we are desperately trying to abstract away the underlying system yet the details are eventually somehow leaked and cause other issues? Perhaps because complexity is similar to multiplication, physical systems are limited by 3D space and softwate systems can become entangled without bound? Just some naive thoughts.
I guess eventually the earth will be swallowed up by the sun, but for practical purposes economic growth happens when we rearrange the atoms and bits at our disposal into things that people consider more useful. All of the materials to create a car existed here thousands of years ago, but we didn't value it as much until somebody figured out how to assemble it into a useful form.

What's more, an old junk car might be valued at $3,000, but we can take most of the same materials and transform it into a new car with $15K (or other goods we consider worth more than the $3K car). The same finite resources + energy & labor (when used productively) = economic growth!
Ah, I hadn't even thought about power. I'll probably need to go on the cheaper end.
Is that actually how it works? Money has to go somewhere regardless of future. Whatever looks the least bad at present is in demand, regardless of what the returns are. Inflation was above tbill rates yet people bought because they don’t have better options.

It’s like food. Food in 100 years does not help the need for food now.
These are fun.

I have a real "ultimate" disc I bought as a fundraiser for a university team. Its amazing how well it flies compared to the cheap light disks. (Its heavy but really goes).

My other favorite is the aerobie "super disk". Its not the ring like disk, but more like a "frisbee" disk. I play with my nieces and its easier to throw and has a kind of softer outer ring so easier to catch.

I seem quite a few exact copies of watermarks transormatively 'artistically generated' on AI images.
Okay, let’s put it this way: There’s no strategy that avoids all risks. You have to balance risks and possible gains. You can balance the risk of investments in the stock market by allocating part of your money to other investments or stores of value that you believe will do better in the scenario where the markets go down long-term. In other words, diversify and allocate according to your risk aversion. This being said, a world index provides a maximum of diversification in the equity market.
I mean, today it's pretty easy to prove that if you're setting out to copy one of these fonts. Just film the whole process and upload it to YouTube.
Same experience.

I put two notes in my profile, 1) that I have very fair skin so whites and off-whites are not a good look on me. 2) no polos, ever.

My first box arrived with a white polo and a cream beanie.

Could not cancel faster.
This justifies historical investment strategies like the very simple buy and hold forever (only blue chips and salsa please) or something marginally more sophisticated like dogs of the dow. The real question is whether growth will continue, or at least during our life times, be kept afloat by unfair practices by the wealthy.
The thing is Ehrlich wasn't wrong about the basic concept, just the time frame. Despite all the talk about countries like Japan facing population decrease, the world is not losing population overall but is still increasing, even if the rate of increase is slowing. Simply saying "It's not a problem; science will figure out how to feed all these additional people somehow; it has in the past when people like Malthus and Ehrlich wrongly predicted famines" is irresponsible, even if we should try. Someday science just won't be able to make agriculture more efficient; it isn't magic.
You will have it for 10 years unless they decide to take it from you. That doesn't happen often, but it certainly can.

Right now we work closely with parents (checking in with them each month before the books ship out) to help guide them in making the decision around book choice. We also have a form parents can send to the teachers. In the future, we will have a tighter feedback loop to support this decision making that comes directly from the way the child interacts with the app (if we have the permission to analyze that data from the parent).
No because the structure and function of the organ is at least as important as the size. Size (or rather some bound of neuron/glial count + complexity) is more in the necessary-but-not-sufficient category.

Secondly the question is not well-posed enough to answer accurately. What is intelligence, in this case?

The cytoarchitecture of brain parcels/regions varies significantly. If you have a giant cerebellum you are not going to seem very smart to us, but you may have a very large brain. At the other end, people have lived normal (if perhaps internally simpler) lives with tiny fractions of a typical neocortex. [0]

This is actually horrifying if you think about it for a minute.

Given GDP is growing at a slower rate than this, this means that the rich will genuinely just get richer and get a larger slice of the pie while the poor get squeezed.

Land/house prices will increase to the maximum the market can bear and as that market will be full of money from those inheriting from their parent's patient investment... we'll end up in a society where your quality of life depends on the wealth of your ancestors.
I'm aware of the DIY option - perhaps if I end up buying a place with a bit bigger kitchen.

For now the fact that I've got a sodastream swap place in walking distance makes it an acceptable solution
its not personalized. Funny story. My wife tried it out one time, and we went to meet up with a friend who we haven't seen in 5 years who just came back from working in Japan. The friend and my wife have vastly different body types, hair colors, height and style. Guess who ended up matching exactly in clothing for the night?
The difference here is you are sharing email addresses, domains, feeds, networks, etc. none of which you will ever own if the service shuts down.

Other services can shut down but this type of entrenchment isn't there when my cloud notes shuts down, or when my hosted collaborative kanban shuts down. They can give me my data and I can go elsewhere. I don't have to get the world to update contacts and bookmarks and other stuff like that.
I think you are confusing the issue of whether the A.I. output is creative with whether training the A.I. itself is creative enough for the A.I. software to be copyrightable.

The law has a very broad definition of creativity when a human is involved, even a human taking a picture of the Mona Lisa is considered creative.

Since humans train the A.I., and it takes creativity to design the training scheme, the A.I. would appear to me to clearly be a creative work and copyrightable.

You brought up a seperate issue of whether the model infringes the original work. And whether it's okay because the model doesn't resemble the original.

I don't think that's precisely the accurate legal standard. What's relavant is whether the copying into the model constitutes fair use.

One of the considerations of fair use is whether the use is transformative. But that's only one consideration a court will look at in determining whether the A.I. company can succeed in a fair use defense. I don't believe this is settled law.

But if there's any broad point I want to make, it's that the law does not ever consider a machine or piece of software "like a human" or say "If it's okay for a human to do it it's okay for a piece of software to do it."
Depends. Manufacturing in the US implies high automation. For those who maintain the machines there is a lot of money, but there are far less jobs and in turn far less in total in labor.

Though I suspect there is more need for such labor than people who can do the job. Hard to say, but there are a lot of things we haven't automated yet.
A few of my favorites:

There's a set of string lights in my apartment that were left installed when I moved in. They look pretty nice and they provide decent illumination in an area that's difficult to light, but I virtually never used them because I needed to plug them into an outlet in order to turn them on. I finally bought a device that goes between the plug and outlet with a cord to a pushbutton switch. I now use the lights daily and I have no idea why it took me 6 years to fix a problem that could be solved for around $10.

A bluetooth OBD2 monitor for my car. It can read engine codes and other diagnostics, and it can clear a lot of check engine warnings. It less than a single visit to a mechanic.

This one is way less general, but I finally bought a treadle feeder for our chickens. There were several bird flu scares over the past year and our old open-tube feeder would attract a ton of wild birds (plus the occasional rat). The treadle feeder requires the chickens to stand on a treadle which opens a cover over their feed, and they learned how to use it pretty quickly. I'm amazed at how effective it's been; we're going through significantly less chicken feed now because the wild birds were eating nearly as much as our chickens were.
There’s a wide range of how effective they are. Some people are happy with cheap toilet seat attachments but there’s a reason people spend significantly more on expensive toilets.
