Are you talking about this?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesi...

This does not seem to be a theory generally accepted by the scientific mainstream. There are competing theories for the Younger Drias extinctions that apparently have stronger evidence.
You can't understate this. Lukashenko averted the 90s collapse that most of his neighbors suffered greatly from, rooted out the mafia, and balanced power well enough that every attempt to reintegrate Belarus into Russia has failed.

He's by no means a great man, but he has done his job quite well, when you consider just how badly other countries suffered.
Just because there is criticism doesn't mean that Java is "very bad".

As Bjarne Stroustrup famously said: "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses".
Probably other portuguese are going to hate me for saying this but... you have Spain. Their cost of living is a bit higher but their wages are higher as well and in some key stuff they have cheaper stuff than us. I went to Barcelona last year and I actually purchased there stuff to bring to Portugal because it was cheaper.

Also, I get why people get the idea that Portugal is "cheaper". Most come here in a trip, eat at a restaurant and pay a lot less than they're used to and they think the country is cheap. Well, that only happens because the wages are very low (our minimum wage for 2023 is 740€ and even though it raised a bit, the remaining wages aren't raising accordingly).
I‘m sorry you feel spammed.

Among others, I personally enjoy the basic commands stories, because, as can be seen in the comments, it is often news even to long term users.

I have read a science fiction story or two set on tidally locked planets, and the humans occupy the slim twilight belt between the hemispheres facing towards and away from the sun, where the temperatures are less extreme.

If it has an atmosphere, though, I imagine its expansion and compression cycle would make it quite stormy.
I don't think that's necessarily related to the prevalence of unions though and where it might be related it is far from the only factor as there are many other at play there from unrelated legislations and governance styles all the way to reserve currencies. Even just the fact that Europe was/is a fractured market preventing the rice of something akin to silicon valley.
Der Spiegel has been selling adverts in its publications since 1947. I'm fairly sure in 1947 they couldn't track individuals reading them. They couldn't even measure how many people read them.
I left the UK in 1987. At that time, Indian restaurants in London were having a competition to see who could persuade a gullible public that more tartrazine food dye than the LD50 for rabbits was a good idea. Green or Orange, take your pick.

Are you a fan of #Pokemon and NFTs? Be careful of the latest scam as you might be the next target. A website claiming to offer a new #Pokemon #NFT card game is actually a front for distributing #malware in the form of the #NetSupport #RAT.
If it is sued out of existence, where do you draw the line? Parody of celebrities have been done for a very long time, it just haven't been this realistic. But as long as you make it clear it's fake (like putting disclaimers before/after/during the show), shouldn't they be in the clear?

South Park have been doing celebrity parodies since episode 0 (The Spirit of Christmas), but it is very clear it's parody, so they are safe. But too realistic depictions might not be safe. Where does the line go in that case?

First thought is that the intent should be taken into consideration. Are you doing it in order to do something that is generally illegal, (like defamation of someones character, staging a coup and so on) or just for the sake of comedy/parody?
It's interesting how information bubbles up.

Our daughter has asthma. When we were away for 2 months from our home it cleared up substantially. So, we got an air quality monitor (after pretty careful study) last year. Everything was rosy, except the VOCs went off the chart during and after cooking on our gas hob.

And now a few months later everywhere I look I see this study.
It is hard to tell if this is what you are saying. But a common misconception of ipfs seems to be that you may end up hosting random unwanted files. this is untrue, you only end up hosting files you want.
try it. get on an use it. It is pretty remarkable. I have been using for all sorts of stuff. It is a brain extension- the ways it is limited at the moment are based on what the builders intended "no, I won't let you build a virtual environment, no I won't roll up a dnd character etc.." but when pressed/jail broken it most certainly can do those things..

Because for wolfram alpha to be usable, you need some specialist knowledge on what exactly you want to ask. ChatGPT allows anyone to just ask a computer something and it responds almost like normal people would do. It mostly crossed that uncanny valley of chatbots.
I didn't say it was a black and white issue. I said it was an ethical issue, and like all ethical issues, there is a very wide spectrum of what fits, what doesn't, and what's grey area.

I can think of reasons why one might record a stranger in public, or a stranger might end up in a recording, but I thought it was pretty clear from the article that we're not talking about that—we're talking about content creators (any person making content) filming strangers without consent so they can create content using those strangers. These other things you're talking about are irrelevant to that conversation.
I think you're arguing something we already agree on. I personally found the comment to be curt, though I'm not sure I would call it rude. Still, I was more than happy to fix up the title, since I try to accept things that are below the standard of politeness I try to show others.

The part I was objecting to is actually the flip side of Postel's Law, for what you should do. The comment I replied to claimed "nice is overrated". It's not, because people actually like it when you are nice to them. And because everyone has a differing scale of what they personally consider to be polite, it's good to overcompensate a bit to try to appeal to a wider audience. You can't please everyone, but you can definitely make very small actions without descending into "toxic niceness" or whatever and avoid most problems.

I doubt the data OpenAI receives from the usage of ChatGPT is even remotely close to the amount of data Google or Facebook handles that could be used to build a better language model.

They have advantage over other AI startups, but I don't think they have much of an advantage over companies like Google and Facebook which both have massive amounts of data, money, and computing power. Which at the current state is the three most important things needed to build models that can operate at internet scale.

OpenAI can never run ChatGPT at the scale needed for massive usage. They would drown in debt. Hence why ChatGPT is extremely slow, often crashes, and is protected by a rate limiter.
I appreciate that you host everything yourself.
I think this is a good example of how if your desired username/domain is already taken, there’s usually a clever tweak you can do to get a similar one that works. In the case of Steam they went with “steampowered.com” instead.

It makes me wonder why so many people go with like “firstname225” rather than spending a couple of minutes coming up with something little bit less silly-looking.

I don't think a Pi webcam is worth the complexity and hassle unless there is a need for processing video on-device on the cheap, but even then, a USB camera may be preferable. For serious streaming quality will still be too far a cry from a Lumix with OBS and for video calls the pricier commercially available webcams like the Razer Kiyo Pro or the Logitech Streamcam give pretty good quality too and they'll actually work in an instant when needed, at not (much) higher cost than a Pi 4 plus accessories plus camera.

But before getting a better camera I'd try to improve lighting, try to have lots of uniform white diffused light coming from at or behind the camera; simple things like white LED strips at the back of the monitor bounced off a wall or other surface behind it can work well because Teams/Zoom will compress and shrink your video to death anyway, so high resolution and fine detail are wasted, but a kinda well-lit person will still look decent even in a tiny and brutally compressed thumbnail on a laptop screen and I'm not aware of any AI filter that actually does a good job at simulating that, and any that did probably wouldn't fit on a Raspberry Pi anyway.

And before doing even that, I'd make sure my audio is actually decent, since that's what most people take for granted since it is for granted in real-life meetings, but being hard to understand or sounding harsh and jarring is something people react to a lot more strongly and viscerally to than bad-ish video, often without even realizing that's what bothers them about a person. Think of it like meeting to get work done in a dimly-lit room vs. in the middle of a construction site – people sometimes do the former on purpose, e.g. to improve projector image quality, but the latter will feel jarring to most, especially if you're the only person who sounds like that. Important to use the test call functionality in Zoom/Teams/... since their compression may reduce quality by a lot. External USB microphones can be a good inexpensive option, something like a Behringer C-1U, anything bluetooth tends to sound rather ugly.

And before doing even that, I'd think real hard if even that's actually needed. Most people seem to not give a damn and are just fine not sounding and looking like a newsperson. There might be more profitable things to put that time and money towards.

I made a public bet with Norman in early 2020 (late Feb) about whether the university we were at would hold classes until the end of the term (he believed they would not due to covid). Norman was the only one with the guts to publicly point out the obvious (anybody with the Wikipedia page for China case numbers and a spreadsheet could have figured out what was going to happen in late Feb). Among other things he was a great lecturer and a talented go player, although I never really thought that rational trig was worth all the effort - regular math seems to have plenty of utility even if you think it is built on shaky philosophical foundations.
This is my main reason for having a BV in the first place: to ensure that even though the business takes in very variable amounts of money my private income stream is extremely regular.

Anybody with > 100K euros in income from consultancy (which should be most of them!) living in NL should consider doing the same thing. There is some overhead but that's easily farmed out to an administrator.

The problem is the realism aspect. Look at how often comedic intent is misinterpreted both on the internet and real life. You could end up causing real damage to a person's reputation through this, especially if the video clips are taken out of context which is something that frequently happens already.

Direct observation is the best tool we've got as humans for determining the truth. We augment with tools, but even reading the output of those tools is done with our eyes. We need to be able to trust what we're seeing.
I changed the title – hopefully it's a bit more on point.

Regarding your thought – here are my 2 cents. I have an 18 months old daughter. I share your thought. In my case the thought stems from my own boredom – it found it incredibly boring to interact with my toddler. As she is getting older if find our time together more stimulating.

But I hope that the time spent babysitting still created some sort of bond – it certainly feels that way. And I am hoping that the invested time comes with a high interest rate.
10% is actually small though, also, the latest program tested is GPT3. GPT3.5 was what really impressed people and was the point when people saw that these models could be capable.

Great essay. Will reread again for some more pondering. I'm hopeful that learning some Buddhism will have some benefit.

I also appreciate all the other thoughtful comments here. Plenty of food for thought. Thanks all.

My interest in Buddhism has recently been renewed. Was very interested as kid. Taoism, Zen, reading a lot, learning how to meditate.

Then I got diagnosed as terminal. Being a baby monk was very useful for coping. I wasn't freaked out about dying and everything was cool. (My stoicism was misinterpreted as suicidal or defeatist, which amped other people's freak out.)

I was ready to die.

Then I survived a bone marrow transplant (and all the complications). Oops.

Now what?

Buddhism, as I was able to understand it, was just such a bummer. When all life is suffering and nothing matters... How was I supposed to recover, rejoin the world of the living, pay rent, and strive?

For me to keep going required a suspension of disbelief, some nugget of hope, to reacquire the fear of death. (YMMV.)

Recently started reading again. To compliment some new skills I learned thru Swedish Pain Services, what I call "Pain College". Mostly because I'm curious about the "theory" behind my mindfulness "practice".

The most beneficial so far as been Jon Kabat-Zinn. Even so, wow, these Buddhists are a real group Eeyores.

I'm not interested in '90s New Age styled pabulum. I don't need anything sugar coated. I just want a better (layperson's) guide for self-improvement.

For example... We've all heard of phantom pain syndrome, right? At Pain College I learned about Graded Motor Imagery. During the lectures, I was like "ya ya ya, bullshit. No way I can just think my way to a cure." But I followed along and did what I was told.

Holy shit! It worked on one of my chronic conditions. It still feels like magic. The weirdest part is that it worked despite me not believing it could.

So now I'm wondering what other awesome sauce techniques am I missing out on? Because I don't have the awareness or mental models?

I remember when I broke our first ADSL USB (not RJ45 modem, the model was Netopia Cayman something). I was trying to port forward for NAT, but that damn thing had an old firmware that didn't have that feature. I was naive then, didn't quite understand what a firwmare was.
So, I read on the official website that the new firmware version had port fortwarding. I downloaded the firmware and started the firmware update process through the web-interface. I waited 30min or so, I realized something was off, it should not take that much to flash a couple of mb. But stupid me, didn't know that unplugging the power cord while it was flashing was a bad idea.

I was scared to death. Once broke, I didn't know where to look for informations to unbrick it. Spent 2 weeks with the ISP support center to get a replacement. Till today, I have anxiety when it comes to flashing firmwares.
Maya had a popular (on SGI) predecessor called Wavefront (at least the company was called that, but IIRC it was also the name of their 3d modelling/animation product), the company Wavefront was then aquired and merged together with Alias Research (PowerAnimator) by Silicon Graphics into a company called Alias|Wavefront, which then created Maya from scratch, but Maya took a lot of inspiration from Wavefront (and PowerAnimator I guess).

As far as I remember, 3DSMax was still an outlier throughout the 90's, but it quickly gained popularity in the PC game development scene because it also ran on PC and didn't require a separate investment in SGI workstations or beefed up Amigas (and I guess the rampant software pirating on PC in the 90's also played a role to make 3DSMax popular).
