I don't think the OP was dropping Tibetan Buddhism, just pointing out that it can be very complicated and could end up in a lot of confusion (which I agree with). They mentioned Ajahn Geoff [1] as a good place to find deep teaching, which I also agree with. My first introduction to formal Buddhism was through friends that ended up ordaining with him almost 20 years ago. My practice ended up more in vajrayana training, but I still go back to read the books they sent from his monastery often.

Personally, I don't think there is a paragon of Buddhist practice. If you're looking for one I think you might be doing it wrong, so to speak. All three yanas have great teachers, just use your discernment as you follow your path.

You are holding it wrong.
Ryan Dancey, even and maybe especially as the license's author, is not a lawyer nor qualified to talk about how Hasbro found a potential legal loophole in it that he didn't intend.

Also, Dancey didn't issue the license, WotC did. Intent matters, so the WotC FAQ is relevant IMO, but Dancey's personal intent is irrelevant.

He also doesn't have the best track record at anything he touches surviving the experience - Five Rings, Last Unicorn Games, getting laid off from Hasbro two years after the OGL shipped, OPC getting eaten by Alderac, overseeing CCP's marketing during the CCP/White Wolf debacle, architectung the utter failure of Pathfinder Online - such that the guy is like the Forrest Gump of RPG industry failures.

Giving Hasbro an OGL loophole 20 years ago would still be top-3 for him but it's like, did somebody botch an RPG IP decision today? Odds are either Dancey or Jordan Weisman were in the room when it happened, even just coincidentally.
Not quite true, you can request an administrative ruling in many circumstances.

Those are purely made up numbers. A fuel cell will easily be more efficient than an internal combustion powered car. Also, a battery is not 100% efficient, nor is charging an EV 100% efficient.

Climate Change predictions are an aggregate of multiple models which have already proven unreliable. These models are made up of thousands of variables and parameters estimating things for which there is none to little real data.

For example, take a model of

aX + bY + cZ = m

X,Y,Z are known values
a,b,c are parameters

A parameter is usually selected as a mean value of a range of potential values, a statistical distribution. So the parameters form an N dimensional space representing their ranges. In the given example it is three dimensional.

When the parameter ranges are not well known the area of the N dimensional parameter space increases because a weak estimator requires a higher confidence interval than a strong one.

So the question in complex modeling, and climate modeling is highly complex, is how close is the parameterization selected to the real parameters?

Wide parameter spaces across high dimensions are really fragile because the space is so wide. Good models account for this by spanning the parameter space, i.e. taking all the combinations at intervals and running the models multiple times.

The problem is, climate models are so big, and and have so many parameters that you cannot calculate them all on a human lifespan timescale.

If we are in a worst case scenario with climate change then we should be thinking 100% in terms of mitigations. More green and sustainable pathways make more sense with longer timelines.

Under any condition it does not look like Russia, India, and China are willing to cut their carbon profile in the future which means we really should be focused on mitigation and sensible sustainability projects.
The assignment of blame to VR/AR for Facebook's stock drop is mostly media noise and not reality. The "metaverse" term is cringeworthy, the technology is early and easy to critique, and the tech-savvy public hates Zuckerberg. All this combines to create easy click bait about how VR is leading to Meta's problems.

In reality, Apple's changes to tracking in OS 14.5 has cost Facebook at least $10B in annual revenue and - far worse from an investment thesis perspective - likely continues to constrain growth for the foreseeable future. As a growth stock, this is poison.

Yes, VR/AR investments are also $10B, but they can be turned off and there is a revenue stream coming from them today (at least 10M users, at least $500M in app store revenue) and a potential large market in the future.

A $10B hit to annual revenue in perpetuity and growth cut from 36% to 12% is a far worse problem and a huge overhang on the stock.

That story just doesn't get clicks though. You can't accompany that article with a stupid picture of Zuck's comical avatar in front of the Eiffel Tower and make jokes about missing legs in the metaverse.
In a diverse economy with many sectors, having a tax system that incentivizes participation and capital movement towards some sectors is beneficial.

velocity within an economy is more important than public coffers, especially when the attempts at management are distributed to the private sector, compared to a single flawed attempt centralized at the public sector. In systems like the US, the distributed risk takers compete with the centralized attempt or simultaneously collaborate with it.

The "loopholes", some of which are indeed loop holes, function to incentivize certain behaviors. In almost all cases, someone that wants to simply accumulate cash will be taxed the heaviest, the entire system is saying move it around in specific ways, keep the velocity high. create, invest, hire.
I'm afraid it isn't that simple. My current work is realtively great. It wouldn't be easy to move to a startup since most startups don't invest in someone with my skillset. At least not until they get ~50 employees, but even then the perk of big companies is you get invaluable technical exposure.

Yes, an Apple is just a fruit. But a fruit didn't create the iPhone.
So perhaps when people talk about Apples upcoming phone, they probably mean the company not the fruit. And when people talk about Agile in relation to software development they likely mean to refer to Agile software development not just the word agile.
I found reading books after "doing" for awhile to be useful to just improve how I organize things in my head. I usually find a few (but not many if a focal area of experience) things I didn't know beforehand, and it improves awareness of how much of it I do know.
There are a bunch of factors here but the key one is: what are your goals? How do you see your next 5/10/20 years?

The point of this is maybe you're intending to retire in 5 years. If that were the case, I wouldn't suggest dumping into the S&P500 necessarily.

Another is: what other assets do you have? Do you own your own home? What do you have in retirement savings? What other assets?

If you have children, live in the US and intend to for the foreseeable future, you may want to divert some funds into Roth IRAs for your children. This could be instead of or in addition to 529 savings plans.

If you come from somewhere else and intend to return to taht country then buying property in that country might make sense.

I would generally say own the house you live in. I don't mean outright. If you have a low interest rate locked in for 30 years there's zero point in repaying it early.

The default option would be to dump it in VTSAX but so much depends on individual circumstances and goals.
You're making a false comparison. People who prompt an "A.I. art" algorithm aren't doing anything, the algorithm is and what the algorithm is doing is scraping data, i.e., art (made by humans). A camera or brush, whether analogue or digital, is still being manipulated by the human. If a guy puts a comic book in a xerox machine it doesn't make him Jack Kirby.

> So "tightening the DUI laws" here means giving cops greater latitude to charge people below the legal limit - as opposed to, e.g. increasing the penalties for people who are above it?

It meant getting eliminating some those crimes the cops don't charge people with but the courts can let people plead down to as lesser offenses and upgrading others to be roughly as life-ruinous as a DUI. This would have caused all those people who caught a DUI charge at .05 because they didn't play their cards right to walk instead of take a plea deal for a lesser charge, much to the detriment of government coffers. I don't think that's necessarily a bad outcome but the point I was making at the time was that financial incentives pervert justice in this case.

(The state in my example was Washington FYI)

>One explanation I was given for comparatively poor & worsening road safety in the US was the lack of serious penalties for drunk and dangerous driving.

And people also complain that the US is a bunch of tee-totaling puritans. Things vary widely by state. I think there's a couple in the midwest that are more lax. Drunk driving has been on a pretty much constant decline since forever so I'm generally suspect of it as an explanation for anything anywhere.
Out of interest, is a large cross-instance search tool like this aligned with the mastodon ethos?

Web browsers achieved all the dreams of Java developers. In fact, declaring to a newly wed college graduate that - back in olden days of yore - software had to not only be downloaded, but it had to be hand built against each operating system, until a magic wonder called Java came around and abstracted those things. Then better browsers came and brought the Java into the browser, then finally javascript and rendering had reached enough maturity to implement essentially an entire operating system / virtual machine AS the browser, that java applets were gone.

truly incredible in a sense
The problem is that paper generally needs to be coated with something in order to do the same job as the plastic version.

The coating currently is almost always a variant of PFAS--which is likely worse than the plastic version being incinerated at an industial facility.
I recommend considering unusual "investments" like solar panelling your roof: if it costs you $25k outright, but saves you $150/mo 4eva, that's a 7% ROI, better than a lot of more risky investments. Then if you convert your HVAC to be electric-only, your vehicle(s) to electric-only, etc, the effect is additive.
Isn’t agile just like 5 sentences that are pretty vague? If so what does it mean that it’s badly implemented? That sounds like the “they are not interpreting the bible correctly” type of argument.
> It is interesting what the result will be (average saving on deduplication) if it is applied globally to a large-scale blob storage, such as Amazon S3 or Google Drive (we need metadata storage about chunks, and the chunks can be deduplicated).

Yes this is truly promising but beware of dragons. Under current legal doctrine, blobs need some form of chain of custody. You can’t just deliver chunks to whomever has a hash (unless you’re decentralized, and you can move this problem to your users). Why? Because this is how bittorrent works, and we all know the legal dangers there. Encryption helps against eavesdropping, but not against an adversary who already has the hash and simply wants to prove you are distributing pirated material or even CSAM. You may be able to circumvent this to shift blame back on the user, in some cases. For instance, say you are re-syncing dangerous goods that you initially uploaded over Dropbox, then Dropbox can probably blame you, even though they are technically distributing. But that requires Dropbox to be reasonably confident that “you” (ie the same legal entity) had those chunks in the first place.
That's a terrible idea given the fact that code is processed by human brains in a symbolic way, and not like a (western) written language.

> It doesn't work well for archives (tars, zips).

Technically if you update a zip on the remote machine it'll work fine (the data gets appended in an update and the central directory record is always at the end of the zip.

I recall that tar has no end market at all so you can just append a new entry to it as well and when unpacked it'll overwrite the file from earlier in the archive. So they would work fine with rsync unless the tar is also compressed.

The tradeoff between zip and tar.{gz,xz,z} is that zip entries are compressed in the individual file context whereas in a compressed tar the entire archive is compressed in the same context. This may be a slight win for archives with many small files with similar structure.
Thanks! Not sure how that's relevant, as toxicity does not cancel out in this fashion.

Appreciate it in any case.
I don’t know Vajrayana, only have some familiarity with the Pali canon. From that perspective, everything that you’re saying sounds true.

> There are also a lot of teachings about the self that are categorically listed as wrong view in the pali canon.

Do you remember what exact things they teach about the self that is in contradiction with the Pali canon? Asking out of curiosity.

One thing that I cannot quite square with the Pali canon is the idea of Buddha mind, and the related concept of the “true self” and the “small” vs. “big ego” that certain Zen lineages talk about. According to the Pali canon, these are all wrong views because of there being no self whatsoever (anattā). Perhaps Zen and Vajrayana folks see these concepts as falsehoods that still help with practice and are thus skillful means (upāya).

"Any person who knowingly uses another’s.., photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products, merchandise, or goods, or for purposes of advertising or selling, or soliciting purchases of, products, merchandise, goods or services, without such person’s prior consent"

I guess it hinges on what is a product, or whether these videos are for the purpose of advertising or selling.
When a contract is ambiguous because one side made conflicting statements, the usual resolution is that the other side gets to pick which interprets to use.

If you can get past the layout, one of the best online resources for learning SDL are Lazyfoo's tutorials[0] and maybe Parallel Realities[1].

But SDL is too low level to consider as a framework for GUI, it's basically a cross platform library for hardware (screen, graphics, input, audio) and event handling. You're still going to have to write everything yourself.

You should at least know C or C++, although there are ports to several languages, and several GUI frameworks like Dear ImGui and I think Pygame use SDL in the background.

People in the 1960s liked the idea of the gi joe perhaps, but they didn't want a 1940s/1930s america again what with the great depression and widespread malnutrition. I'm also not sure if midnight in paris is considering real nostalgia that people back then had, or present day nostalgia that we assume people back then probably had. The 1920s and 1890s were probably good decades to far fewer people than later decades that we are presently nostalgic about, for example. If you were rich maybe you partied lavishly in the roaring 20s, but if you were poor maybe your memory of that decade is dominated by the spanish flu, prohibition, and the stock crash that came a few years later.

It's not mentioned in the article, but an Apple exec recently lost his job over this quote:

> “I race cars, play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off,” Blevins replied. “Also, if you’re interested, I’ve got a hell of a dental plan.”

Which, although being a very dated Dudley Moore reference, was said while the man was in good spirits on his day off.

You could argue he's paid to know better as an Apple executive, and you'd be right, and Apple was within their rights to fire him, but it's still an unfortunate circumstance of the times.

There's a definite power imbalance when someone with a camera and a plan uses unsuspecting pedestrians as content.
Ok, I've been waiting for this, but it's a fraction of what I thought could be possible.

But one thing it seems to point to, DJing is nearly dead straight away - that or the mechanics of it maybe, choosing the songs and order to play them is still maybe an aspect. Maybe not.

I wonder if this also should work with AMI APTIO UEFI capsules.

Currently dealing with a similar issue where for no apparent reason on a regular reboot motherboard fails to even start to POST. Without RAM modules it emits the manual-defined two beeps, but with a RAM module in but no GPU it doesn't emit the defined no-GPU three beeps. Not clear if those beeps require a functioning CPU or not - but knowing that would be very helpful in knowing which component(s) might have failed!

Working on the supposition the NOR Flash chip had somehow been corrupted I connected my long-unused TL866A EPROM programmer to the provided SPI header on the mobo via a mash-up of a PATA IDE 2.5" to 3.5" adapter (the only component in my collection that fits the mobo header) and fly leads to the TL866A.

Repeatedly failed to read the chip ID until finally realising the chip takes 1.8V not 3.3V! (Winbond W25Q128FW SPI NOR). Ordered a 1.8V interposer for the TL866A. Tried again with the same result but suspect reading using 3.3V might have killed an otherwise good chip!

Ordered a couple of replacement chips early December that finally arrived early January (no, not from China, from 40 miles away - thanks UK Postal workers on strike!) only to discover they are 3.3V chips - I'd misread the listing and ordered W25Q128FV not "FW" (V = 3.3V, W = 1.8V).

Finally took the plunge and desoldered the chip from the mobo whilst holding my breath in case the hot air gun blew the miniscule 1mm resistors close to the chip off the board! Tried reading the chip whilst disconnected but same failed result so assume device is trashed.

Proved I can program one of the 3.3V chips so - assuming the 1.8V interposer isn't faulty - just need the correct chips and resolder. Am now awaiting delivery of the correct chips.

At that point I'll likely discover the fault is either the motherboard or the CPU at which point it gets more expensive as have to obtain and swap in alternatives to deduce the failed part!

Don't you just love the right (and ability) to repair!? ironic laugh

On the positive side I discovered the completely open-source TL866A minipro software [0] and the TL866 firmware updater [1] tools that have made the software side of the process much easier than wrestling with MS Windows applications and WINE. Also UEFITool for inspecting and extracting binary ROM files from UEFI Capsules [2].
