Humans actually take very little to non relevant decisions. The "free will" is mostly an illusion, you "choose" between equivalent options, not between actually different "life paths".

You can "decide" you won't "build a nest", but you'll certainly look for refuge if it is raining, or it's very cold. In the end, the human behavior is actually fully deterministic.

I'm sure FAANG already know this because they have the datapoints from billions of humans beings doing exactly the same stuff everyday for decades now.

This is probably how LLM can extrapolate all the things they "know" from human generated text: their tokens reflect the human behavior determinism a its fullest expression

(hence at more data for training, much better/closer their behavior ressemble the human behavior/ideas)
It's fine. I wasn't expecting it to be served on a slice of Wonder bread (or whatever that is) though, ha ha.

I think that’s where social workers (I think?) draw the distinction between chronically homeless and someone experiencing homelessness.

The average person who experiences homelessness stays homeless for 237 days[1]. That’s the highest estimate I could find on google. Some were as low as 90 day average.

I bet a lot of those people could fix the problem a lot faster, if you gave them minimum wage money for a year.

This is by far the weirdest stuff I read today. First they mention that people quit in 2021 due to low pay, then "Employees disengage or resign when they don’t feel valued, supported, and respected. It’s up to the company to ensure they do." and then they go on to talk about transparency and diversity.

But the entire article could be summarized as: People will leave if you pay them too badly.

If your biggest complaint is a relatively minor UX improvement then they're crushing it!!!

TBH, that's about the most shallow, surface level feedback that could possibly be given. This project is providing a pretty radically different paradigm for image editing. Is that a good paradigm? Is it useful? Does it allow novices and/or experts to do work faster? Are there things it can't do? What would it take to do those things? Does it need new nodes types? More options on existing nodes?

I don't know the answer. TBH it's a pretty hard sell. Either it works or it doesn't. A missing feature in the node editor is not in the Top 1000 most important things.
I agree with you - but I think you meant "the risk is too high" if you're a low income earner?

Personally, I'd just throw it in safe 4% account for a couple years. I have no faith the stock market isn't going to tumble. Then I'd probably buy real estate if/when it 'crashes.'
It's also time to take down the satellites. The planned low orbit constellations leave no space on earth for people to hide or be free. National security or not, i truly hope there is a space war that will render the orbital space a dangerous zone for any army to operate. I'm fine with communication through terrestial cables only.
I like where this is headed by I have some constructive criticism:

Since most people think of mastodon as one single service, why can’t you just search all known Instances by default and then allow users to reduce to specific instances as a sort of filter option?

Reason is because this early on , not looking like there is any real logic to which instance you are going to find one user or content and you’ll essentially have to guess where to point your search query at.
That assertion is incorrect in Germany or Japan.

A new CDC (Change Data Capture) approach open-sourced by Google? Quickly I, a subsequently disappointed data engineer, started reading
Here in New Zealand this all looks very familiar - we too have NO deductions for most tax payers - I run a small company, do the payroll and tax stuff in a spreadsheet - one simple line per employee.

Most people who have just one job end up paying exactly the right amount of tax (that 1 line in my spreadsheet) and don't need to file - if you have multiple jobs you may get money back (depending on how you registered your second job) if you don't file the IRD will send you a cheque (we don't do cheques any more, they'll drop it in your bank account).

It doesn't have anything to do with GDP, we used to have that complex tax system, about 30 years ago we chose to change it - what it takes is politicians with the political will to change things
Looks great, I wonder if it could:

1. Output an Imagemagick script so the same effects could be applied to images say uploaded from a website.

2. This form of node based editing applied to other tools (GStreamer springs to mind which has a very node oriented workflow)
Pathfinder 2E is clearly a derivative work of Pathfinder 1E which is a derivative work of 3.5. It's not clear that none of the content in 2E would cross the threshold of being both (a) copyrightable and (b) sufficiently unmodified from D&D 3E to be under scope. It's not clear how much of Paizo's decision to license 2E under OGL was as a CYA in case someone found that some of the content was derived from D&D 3E, and how much was for continued compatibility with the PF 1E ecosystem, but likely both concerns were considered
Some of the commenters here get hung up on whether git needs undo when nearly all git operations are undo-able. That's just one aspect of the problem:

- It is evidently difficult for git GUI front ends to implement truly general purpose undo/redo the way any users expect any other GUI to have. This makes discoverability hard, maybe impossible, with a GUI front end to git.

- Not all git operations map to the "generic operations on a selection" model most GUI software implements. There is no general "do this to that."

- You can create a visualization of a git repo, but that visualization doesn't do a lot for a GUI, because of the lack of a selection or focus.

It all still has to be coordinated in the user's brain, which is why most people end up just having to develop a deep understanding of the git command line. GUIs do not take away much, if any, cognitive load. Imagine having to know how a text editor manipulates the structures representing a document.

It's hard to think of another design domain that is so intractable for GUI interfaces.

Is equality a goal in its own?

Think of the incentives you setup. People won't be build large long lasting corporate institutions.

Also "disbursing funds", sounds an awful lot like liquidate investments. Is that a good idea?

Worst of all, whatever commissions you create will be corrupted, because so much money is involved. The commissions will make bad decisions, etc.

Centralized decision making faces many of the same problems as plan economics / communism. You simply can't know what is good/bad idea at scale.

Sure, privately owned corporations make bad decisions too -- but it's more distributed.
And the government isn't incentivized to cover it up.

Note. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a decent estate tax. Or that the wealthiest shouldn't pay more in taxes...

Courses for 3rd/4th year students tend to build upon knowledge from the first two years. Especially in fundamental subjects like mathematics and formal methods, I would doubt that this would work for students coming into year 3 without any previous formal CS education. These students might know some programming or other basics, but - as you certainly know - CS is much more than programming.

There's a difference between (long-term) renting and airbnb.

Just ask the neighbours, who normally don't care about long-term renters and complain a lot about ever-changing tourists and all the issues that brings (from safety to loud parties).

You cannot have a factory in the middle of a residential zone, why can you have (what is effectively a single room) hotel?
It was a clever, tasteful way of communicating that, yes.
Maybe, maybe there was. In my experience when someone talks about how much better "it" used to be and how low we've all sunk these days, "it" never really was as good as they're saying. But maybe.

In any case though I live and work now, when companies who prioritize and support the work of creating and maintaining thorough reliable documentation are rare. So I plan my work for situations I can expect to encounter now, not ones that may have been once.
That's a First Amendment issue in the US. What California does is to prohibit commercialization of the result without payment, which is constitutionally OK.

I live in Canada. Tipping has reached ludicrous levels with many places starting at 25% by default when you pay. You can tip at Subway now. Like, I get it, but really? Why can't you tip the person putting your order together at McDonald's?

What can't you tip for, hypothetically speaking? Can you tip the programmers on top of the subscription fee you pay for a SaaS product?

It's just lunacy. Pay your workers, bake it into the price. If you can't compete we seek service elsewhere.

Europe has a much more sane tipping culture, and VAT included in pricing to boot. There is zero transparency about how much things cost these days and it frustrates everyone. How can we even discuss sustainability of wages and cost of living if it's so obfuscated nobody knows what the baseline is?

If everyone stopped tipping the wait staff at once this country would literally implode.
I guess the “No True Agile” crowd is as alive and well as they were 10 years ago. When it’s a failure, they always come out of the woodwork to let you know you weren’t doing it according to the orthodoxy. When you point out that it isn’t faster in practice, they gaslight you and claim that was never the point in the first place.

In a way it reminds me of a cult. You do a series arcane rituals that have no scientific evidence behind them, none of the process is data-driven or statistically proven. Frankly, it can’t die soon enough but as we all know some new hype will simply take its place to give busybody managers a reason to exist.
Besides Windows until around Vista were language specific, you couldn’t switch language but had to clean install a specific desired versions of the OS, be it French or Italian or Japanese builds.

Also I’ve heard that NT is all UTF-16 internally, but the default codepage for Japanese builds and locales was always CP932(Shift_JIS) 2-byte encoding, until Windows 10 1903 or so.
You’d probably have better returns on taking the $700k to the convenience store and buying that instead

Ah, so you are saying that it is such a mess that no one can/will take either side of the 'bet', so forces that would ordinarily more quickly push it off it's pseudo-equilibrium are absent?

Yes I agree that those forces are minimal for Tether (and crypto in general) vs other investments. But it seems at most like a minor second- or third-order effect; technically existing but not practically moving (or stabilizing) the markets.
Simple, tax their short term Airbnb rental side hustle until they have second thoughts about this and maybe then they rent it instead to a long term tenant who actually needs it like a local student or worker.

Same goes for Scala.

It's about both, it's just that ritualized Big-A Agile isn't about either. It's about the appearance of speed and selling certifications to companies and management that don't know better.

I think "velocity" (from Scrum) actually evoked the correct idea, but most people seem to forget that velocity != speed. Velocity is a pair, speed and direction. Raw speed is useless if you're heading the wrong way (e.g., towards a solution for the wrong problem because you didn't bother validating along the way).

That's not what I got from the article at all. I got that Bhuddism is vastly more complex than I've realized, and that there's good and bad parts about it, and the author himself gives pointers on teachings/directions that he likes.

My understanding (from sources such as Roll For Combat and Indestructoboy) is that:

1. various creators were sent OGL 1.1 licenses, a contract to sign, FAQ, and an NDA on/around Dec 21 to be signed by Jan 4th.

2. Rumours were circulating about the OGL license changes.

3. Once the NDA lifted on Jan 4th, the various people sent the licenses from (1) sent the OGL 1.1 license to others, including gizmodo.

How scientists’ misguided theories of selection defined 20th century (2022)
It's a form of voyeurism (exhibitionism and voyeurism are porn categories, they are fetishes). I do catch a few of those /r/PublicFreakouts, and they are often intense breakdowns of flawed people. Most of them are of the entitled/racist bunch. We know who the antagonists are immediately in those videos, but the principle of filming a breakdown always felt dirty to me.

At least in the realm of sexuality, a fetish is acknowledged as a fetish (and fetishes are usually very private and should always require consent by all parties). I wonder how open people would be to the reality that they are indulging in a fetish by watching voyeuristic videos on /r/PublicFreakouts (sexual or not, and certainly without consent), or exhibitionism by constantly making videos of themselves.

I suspect that the less evolved and less efficient replicators would not fare well against older and more robust forms - especially once those forms develop the ability to hunt and direct their food.

These really aren't comparable, and I try to squeeze as much life from my device as possible

Side note: I lived in an apartment in a 400 year old building once, and once lived in a shared house that was 300 years old (both cases were in Germany). Both buildings were renovated and had repairs several times and in a very good condition, and living in them was a great pleasure.

I've always been a fan of paying off the primary residence just for peace of mind. Can get a better ROI but if you're home is secure, everything else kind of just feels easier.
A four year accredited program ensures students take four years worth of course credits. If programs reduced requirements merely for knowledge rather than demonstration of an ability to act on that knowledge, it would likely reduce the value of accreditation. My first guess, anyways.
Have you actually tried this? Most of the time the people filming you are not exactly pleasant to deal with and will laugh at you.

This is a great comment.

I can recommend Jack Kornfield's modern classic, A Path With Heart.

Just as you say, he spent years practicing with the much-loved Ajahn Chah and the formidable Mahasi Sayadaw - and then came back home to find his old patterns still there. Of course, the insights and experiences he'd had helped him, but the patterns still had to be worked through.

There is a lot to be said for lay practice. Instead of running off to a monastery, do a couple retreats a year and maintain a daily practice. There is plenty of dukkha to encounter in a normal life.

This is really hard to remember if you've had some dramatic meditation experiences or you're really eager to make progress, which is one reason the Soto folks are always emphasizing patience.
In the early 90s, my company developed a video game that was ported to the NEC PC-98. We got a few units to develop on and I found the industrial design to be pretty nice compared to the generic PC clones we had around.

The PC-98 re-entered my life while I was working for Be. NEC had us develop a version of BeOS for what was possibly the last of the line of PC-98s. Once again, I thought the industrial design was pretty decent. The flat-panel LCD monitor matched the style of the case, mouse and keyboard. The design was reminiscent of a SparcStation or maybe a Radius Macintosh clone.
What's hard with Tethers stable coin business is anti money laundering and KYC regulations. That makes it hard to find banks and other such institutions that will work with them and why they are secretive and use odd hacks.
They're sticking objects into your personal space without consent, possibly constituting harassment or invasion of privacy/eavesdropping in some jurisdictions. I highly doubt the court costs for 99% of their sweatshop-made electronics are worth the hassle, including convincing a jury.

One reason door close buttons don’t work is because many places have a minimum time the doors have to remain open under ADA guidelines.

Once that time has passed, the door close. So there is no window in which the button would be useful.

I may have added too many nines, but the point stands.
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?

Here (well, UK and Belgium) I think the police would not charge you if you passed a test (but they might several times).

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.
