I can't edit the OP any more, but I meant 3d drivers wise generally, not ML wise.

I haven't cared about 3d on Linux in ages, but now I do (thanks Apple for the architecture change) and need to decide what video card to get in the next year as prices go back to a reasonable-ish level. As in AMD or NVidia, not what price/performance tier. And my general impression from the internets(tm) is amd drivers are more stable. Am I wrong?
Certainly, in some settings.

The UK also had a question about communist party membership on their visa application. Funny thing is that the UK also has a communist party.
It's not inconceivable that a conventional camera could work here, although it is borderline. Quick napkin math: Sony A7RV produces 9504x6336 pixel images from 35.7x23.8mm sensor, resulting roughly 266 pixels/mm. With a 2x macro lens (Laowa has some), it would mean that 0.2mm subject would be 266x0.2x2=106 pixels across. Not exactly HD, but possibly still usable.
> Better to burn it at a centralized location with proper filtering and treatment than having little batches or mystery oil of varying quality and toxicity.

If we can assure that the output meets a standard should we burn it, then certainly we should be able to assure the output meets a standard should we refine/convert it.
It's not yet clear to me whether Jamsync has the concept of commits and tracks the history of locally made changes. (Rsync obviously hasn't and doesn't.)

Does Jamsync have 3-way merging (e.g. of local and remote changes on top of a shared ancestor)?
I think with most current shells you could do this in prompt strings. Actually, you'd probably want a combo that restores the top-of-stack state and leaves it there; then you'd push the state during shell initialization and restore it in the prompt.

I think the way this shakes out is that the plant-based meats like impossible burger and beyond burger marketed to people who don't eat plant focused diets to pull them away from meats whereas vegetarians typically don't like the high processed component and prefer the vegetable based patties.

Seems to be the common thread that I hear when I talk to people who are vegetarian. I myself am omni but prefer the vegetable based burgers. To your point though the vegetarian 'natural' nutty flavor is for the most part a learned palette through exposure.

I'm not sure, but one of their locations did suffer from a fire within the past year, and they got enough donations to rebuild within a few short days, around that time I changed my Amazon Smile donation, I assume others thought the same thing I thought around that time window. It will be a shame that Amazon will take away donations from so many good places. I know I can donate myself directly, but it was far more meaningful that Amazon was doing so as you ordered things.

I would think that you have been using the word "considered" rather lightly. To me, it means careful thought and deliberation, not just "the thought crossed my mind at some point".
I mean, depends on the company, the one I worked for was solely all software for example, they took a Linux distribution and made a custom distro to be installed on whatever hardware the client chose, it was very niche and single purpose. This was our primary product, our only other alternatives were all software as well. I would highly count that as a tech company.

It also wasn't difficult to set up your own server and bring your own domain, resulting in an easy to remember vanity handle like chat@lastname.tld. I hosted both prosody and ejabberd for years for friends and family, and it was orders of magnitude easier than self-hosting a mail server. Sadly, eventually everyone moved to proprietary platforms because file sending worked badly in those days, and mobile XMPP clients were simply terrible (no push notifications and such).

AI generated comments combined with AI driven moderation could help maintain a high standard of comment quality and civility while keeping the Eternal September effect at bay by suppressing human engagement.

Imagine a HN where AI finds and submits the articles, provides a neutral title and brief description, generates high-level discussion about it, and moderates for bad behavior. It would be a win for everyone.
I'm not sure the economics works on something like that. Once you buy all the equipment, employees, and commercial buildings, it simply isn't going to be profitable to only run your factory 10% of the time (How often does solar power go wasted? Not actually sure).

Maybe it would work if this was only one step in a larger processes. When energy is free, use it to make a ton of this crude oil and then process the crude with less energy intensive methods when electricity is expensive.

In a similar vein... while driving down the road, have you ever "considered" just pulling into the opposing lane? I'd never ever do that, but I've considered others driving into my lane, which leads me to consider myself doing that to their lane.

> Just the other day I've encountered a cookie modal, where the enabled option was grayed out and when disabled it was colored. Only noticed this because the required cookies toggle was obviously on (though gray in color). For someone in a hurry (like we are all when dismissing those modals), you would expect to gray those out, which would actually make you opt-in to all those advertising cookies. Talk about dark patterns.

I realized the same pattern but in reverse in my phone provider's app. When you're making a payment with your credit/debit card, there is a toggle that you can turn on for them to tokenize your card. By default, the toggle is to the left side and it's colored light blue. When you toggle it to the right it become gray. I believe they have done it on purpose to confuse prople who don't want their card tokenized.
I would say it is a make bug in that POSIX make has no good way to get PWD. Not necessarily a bug even, but an annoyance.
Some of the advice in the other comments is dead wrong ('don't mention it', 'lie', 'fudge things').

Have you done any of the things in the past 10 years if Top Secret, 5 if Secret (keeping in mind you might have to go TS before you've worked there 5 years)? Don't apply for a clearance, because they will find out eventually.

If you apply then, be honest and fully truthful, and disclose everything. They are looking for signs of bad current judgement and things you are trying to hide that could be used to blackmail you.

Also, "Have you considered X?" should be taken to mean 'Has you given more than a passing thought to X?'. If you had a relative die and thought 'I wonder why people commit suicide' that's one thing. If you thought 'Maybe I should kill myself', that is suicidal thought, even for a moment. Doesn't mean you're likely to do it. Does mean you should probably seek professional therapy to help you cope with your situation (doesn't mean you have a long time thing, just means at this moment you need some help coming up with coping mechanisms that work well enough).

I wish there were a way to "productize" this, or automate it at least.

I'm imagining some sort of aquarium-like tank you stock with ocean water that is able to maintain the microscopic life, allow them to flourish. Meanwhile, some sort of slow or periodic pump draws aquarium water into an attached, miniature "photography studio" where an appropriate camera+lens feeds a constant live stream to a display or to the web or to a Bond-villain's giant projector in their lair.

What a wonderful "screensaver" to have when the occasional appearance of a micro organism graces your screen. Perhaps too there are as-yet undiscovered species we might find with such a device?

> Seems like the fragmentation of extensions kind of broke the client/server ecosystem

It did. It was bigger and bigger mess, which feature in which client was supported by what server. I still remember how spotty basic stuff (nowadays) like "send file to someone" was.

And then corporations happened. There was a brief beautiful period of time where you could just put up your XMPP server and chat both with Google and Facebook users directly, but companies figured out closing down their gardens is more profitable and it was no longer the case

> but for some reason recent open messaging alternatives seem to decide to develop new protocols rather than build on top of XMPP.

Coz it is a fucking mess of XEPs spottily implemented between clients and servers, and not always that user friendly.

If you can control server, protocol and client you can just implement stuff. You don't need to make a spec, hope other people's client implement it, start using it in your server, and hope everyone else agrees on it too. And you can just deprecate stuff that turned out to not work well, or just need to be done differently.

Frankly, XEPs shouldn't exist. There should be just XMPP 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. with maybe optional "XMPP voice comms", "XMPP video comms" pack of features (for those cases where full voice/video chat is not relevant).

You either implement all or are noncompliant, no more "well, you send a message but target client doesn't support this XEP, they get garbage"

And there are many who do use “considered” to mean that a thought crossed their mind. Surely this does not shock you.

The problem is not the interpretation of a word. The problem is how the ocean of other people answered this question. There comes a point when being honest is completely stupid, and when most people use the word honesty they don’t mean to cross into the completely stupid territory.

That being said I’d consider such a person to be a fine candidate for friendship.
Re your second paragraph, you are exactly right. The title is clickbaity, to the point of using a disparaging term (fake) instead of a generally accepted one (lab grown). The article is meant to be shared by meat lovers, who were never the market. Entrepreneurs and early adopters did proselytize it - but that happens in every industry. Lab grown meat is everywhere in the US and people buy and eat it. It's just another choice that consumers have now. It is not a flop.

I would say this is pretty normal. Everyone thinks about life and salary and a linear path to wealth, but its not true.

Not everyone stick in a company for 10 years. Some take sabbaticals, some have medical bills, some go travel for 2 years.

> In this particular case, even, it is a market that has decided to keep the secondary costs of nuclear associated with its generation, while dramatically underweighting the secondary costs of fossil fuels, even though the latter kills more people per month than have ever died from any nuclear event or waste in the entire lifetime of the tech.

True, but arguing in favor of nuclear is unlikely to fix that. That's more of a matter of passing some sort of carbon tax legislation, which I very much support.

> But even from there, nuclear is constantly under development. Its leading edge is miles beyond the nuclear of the generation when it was being built out commonly in the US, and the new tech is both very safe and produces way more manageable waste output.

That's I think is one of the issues with the tech. You can make a new solar panel or new wind turbine quickly. Experimenting with nuclear is an enormous ordeal, which nobody seems to want to engage in all that much. If building a powerplant is already not profitable, imagine building an experimental one, stuffed to the gills with instrumentation.

My view is that on the tech angle it also almost certainly loses. Renewables are just simple and amenable to mass manufacturing.

> we should consider seriously that the problem isn't nuclear tech, but the concept of profit, itself.

I think for a thing as core as energy, we can't really ignore money. Say, what happens if your power is 3X more expensive than your neighbour's? That's unlikely to be competitive, so why wouldn't industry just move across the border? You might have noble ideals, but industry as a whole doesn't.

There's different kinds of 'big pictures'. Certain kinds I work to understand, paint and realize. Other kinds I purposefully avoid. Area I'm weak at and choose not to specialize in are office politics, external market forces unrelated to product-market fit (e.g. price wars or shipping crappy stuff first), etc. The kinds I am active in are seeing how different technical solutions merge at higher levels, or very long-term directions of development. An area I'm not strong in but want to get better at is understanding the vertical market and needs. It's hard to learn from second-hand examples long after the act of creation.

Among developers the most common missing big pictures may be things like micro-optimization, over-engineering things 'just in case', inappropriate creation of or elimination of tech debt. Refactoring can be a large sink as it sometimes means rearranging earlier teams' work to fit current team's sensibilities rather than along the lines of where flexibility/speed is needed for upcoming/anticipated areas.

As for suggestions, not focusing too closely on particular aspects, thinking pragmatically with the opinion that each thing "is not important" until you can find solid pragmatic reasons for them to be with some leeway for important things you feel but can't exactly pinpoint. It's not easy, takes lots of practice. Do your work 'in the open', share early, share often, get feedback from both devs and non-devs. Participate in non-technical discussions. Maybe lots of pair programming with someone seen as getting the big picture would be valuable. Then you can experience exactly when, where, possibly how that a picture was recognized and acted upon.

Also realize that even if you only get medium sized pictures, that's ok too. Not everyone has to be good at everything. Lean into your strengths while putting some effort into other areas, don't let it be a perceived/imagined failure.
