That's quite a Spenglarian definition of "civilization". Compare that to, say, Margaret Meade who gave an example of civilization being demonstrated by someone surviving for years post a traumatic injury (broken leg), which required specific non-animal level of cooperation and support of someone who couldn't hunt or gather.

Do you prefer Godot or Unity for 2D games these days? I did a simple game in Unity and it went pretty well. I'd prefer to use C# if possible. Unity is a very nice environment but IIRC it really seems to chug when reloading user scripts from disk after updates.
I've got 12 months of living expenses saved up, so financially I'm about as prepared as I can be. I'd apply for unemployment. I have a 2 bedroom place where I currently use one bedroom as an office, so I'd try to get a roommate to bring down my housing expenses.

Time-wise, I'd probably take a month off to recover and decompress. If the timing were right, I might even take longer and hike a section of the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail. After that, I'd take another month to brush up on my leetcode before jumping into interviews.

what use case do you have that will benefit from a trained model?
There is a package repository where many of the packages have been "pledged" and "unveiled", meaning that they execute with fewer unneeded privileges. And a general lack of privilege escalation exploits in base. And privilege separate by running things as distinct users. So jails might be less needed or less helpful by comparison, overall. There are chroot jails though, not sure why anyone would think they are not available in OBSD.
> So? Gecko was a mess and they had something actually exciting on their hand which was mostly untainted by their branding. They could have bet on it rather than chose to die a slow death while their money trickles to their highly pay executive team.

Mozilla/Firefox rose from the ashes of Netscape, which failed precisely because they tried to do a complete rewrite of their browser engine. With that in mind, it's not too surprising that they would want to backport features to Gecko.
You could try reaching out to the other GPT companies (such as https://character.ai) to see if they'd be open to or interested in doing a collab.

Most of these GPT companies have shared roots and DNA from the Google LaMDA engineering team exodus.

Unless you have a very strange setup, centralized A/C does not have humidity sensors nor run just to dehumidify. Nor does removing humidity increase the load on the A/C system. Removing humidity is just a happy by-product of how centralized A/C works. So no, you would not be increasing load for that reason.

> Ihe US equivalent of this role is currently held by a retired general.

Note that in the US, this is recognized as a particular danger undermining the principle of civilian control, which is why a SoD from the military must be retired 7 years (formerly 10, this has been weakened) or have, in addition to Senate confirmation, a Congressional waiver.
The clocks in my elementary, middle, and high schools would do something similar. Not every minute, but every hour. At the top of the hour, when there was 15 seconds left, the second hand would make 3 second jumps until it hit the top, and then hold until the next hour started.

I always thought that was a brilliant way to keep mechanical clocks in sync. And the system had been there since the 1970s, so it was well before digital clocks were feasible for a school.
For all practical purposes the project was on pause. Looks like no-one had time / energy / willingness / knowledge to make real progress.
Similar. I left home at 15 made my own way. I saved 95% of what I made - drank powdered milk, worked 7 days a week for 15 years multiple jobs, side jobs (flip houses, production company). But I set a goal so, unlike my grandmother, who never stopped fearing the return of the Great Depression, I could stop. I retired in my mid-thirties and now I study languages and write and travel, but I don't buy stuff. Maybe if you set an achievable goal it will help.
If you read the article carefully, it notes that part of the problem in some colder climates is a lack of home insulation. Norwegian homes are well-insulated and therefore very suitable for heat pumps. The home owner with the furnace was US-based, by the way.

The author is not "pulling crap" because they point out the real experience of Norwegian home owners while also describing the diversity of heat pump installations and outcomes.

They're actually being very honest.
Weird how you act as if it was always possible, yet it has not begun to occur until recently, with the application of facial recognition. Must be some sort of weird coincidence, right? What reason do you propose?

Agreed 100%. People in the outside world somehow think academia is a place of pure hearts with nothing but good intentions.

Here is the truth: Look at the incentives and I tell you how people will behave. On an individual level, sharing data has great costs and zero (nothing, nada, zilch, null) benefits. All appeals to the common good change nothing if optimising for an academic career means ignoring these very appeals.
My settings remain stable and my recommendations are reasonable. If anything I have the opposite problem where I won't watch videos on a certain topic or from a specific channel for a few weeks and then Youtube thinks I never want to see it ever again, even if I've been manually looking for it.

I love `move_and_slide` and it's perfect for me, but you're right that it's a very opinionated implementation. I found I was making huge strides in 3D very quickly, but a friend essentially had to re-implement it for their game.

I'm curious if the best solution would be to expose more optional knobs and switches for KinematicBody, or to have a bigger ecosystem of open-source variants.

This is true. I can't speak to the process of buying a home in Argentina but buying a house and moving is a significant change, and leaving your job to go self-employed is another significant change.

Finish the home project before you commit to the self-employment project. Your full-time job is a safety net you won't have when you first go contract.

No harm in putting feelers out meanwhile though, networking and making yourself known in relevant circles. Worst case is that you end up with more full-time job prospects and not freelance ones.

Personally, I realized that I was wasting a lot more in opportunity cost by trying to make all the various non-subscription solutions work for me (and writing my own for awhile), and I'm much happier now paying ynab a yearly pittance instead of spending all that time on something without much actual value to me.

Rape is also an experience. A negative one.

And Android or iOS are not computers (just like a TV or a washing machine are not computers). They are specialized entertainment devices designed to extract data from the users.
It's too easy to overspend. It's effortless to give people money. It's much harder to earn money. Hence, being frugal is a good idea generally.
Straight-line performance per watt is not the problem IMO. The problem is something along the lines of sleep/wake states and how MS + Intel can’t seem to get it together to handle the times when the CPU doesn’t need to be working.
The technology is just too distributed already for any of that to happen.

Cost of charging an EV is bounded by the ability to add solar panels to your house (currently solar installations “pay for themselves” in 7 years in Seattle - not so sunny - high cost of labor location). The grid and “free market” have to be able to compete with that for cost.

Batteries like solar panels are very cheap to transport. They are flat, they can easily stack, there is no expiration period, and no temperature regulation needed to transport them. Batteries will be produced globally if the local markets start gouging.

Solar panels are already a great example of this cost reduction curve. So I’d say your outlook is very pessimistic and not backed by the data.

Godot felt frustrating to use every time I've tried it, on both 4.x and 3.x versions. Compared to Unity, it was a massive improvement, the editor was much faster without crashing, and it had a reasonable node-graph design. However, I think some of the "elegant" designs pursued in Godot and some up-and-coming Rust game engines often end up feeling very time-consuming to fit your code in their abstraction (whether it be ECS or nodes), and honestly sometimes it's nice to just sit down, write some terrible macro-ridden C++ that subclasses from 15 different classes in a hierarchy that would make Alan Kay cry, and get an object that can be scripted from your level editor seamlessly. It's janky, but nonetheless it works.
How do they make sure they don’t blind aircraft?
I think it’s more likely this is a minor/latent bug.

Initializing the value and later assigning it a new value runs the risk of having some code that uses the value of one expression and other code that uses the value (presumedly/hopefully identical to the former) of another expression.

That’s not a risk you want to take.

The name also doesn’t give me an indication they considered making the code agnostic as to the size of that variable.
I know, if people really cared about devices rejecting interference the free market would sort that out, amirite?
This is completely different from piracy which is enabled by a distributed network of individuals who have strength in numbers, it would be impossible to prosecute them all. On the other hand copyright laws are extremely effective in stopping legal entities from distributing copyrighted content without repercussions.

These advanced AI models will be trained and licensed by current and future corporations. A law or judicial precedent that denies "fair use" when it comes to machine learning would stop OpenAI and GitHub Copilot dead in their tracks. I'm not that worried about Billy's home-brewed AI model, it's just something we'll have to accept, but stopping exploitation on the scale of $billions would get us 99.9% of the way there.

> In my opinion: Copyright is a failure and the absolute best move, with the advantage AI has given to everyone, is to abolish copyright.

I agree with this. I fundamentally disagree with the idea of introducing 2 different sets of rules which completely correlate with wealth; companies being allowed to bypass copyright laws to train their models and make money from "our" work, while retaining copyright over their software and trained models.

I might agree with machine learning using "fair use" as a defense iff the datasets, trained models, and all accompanying software are released into the public domain. This way everyone gets to benefit from these technological advancements.
They can't buy the tickets directly from MSG, so they never gave money to MSG. So that can't be the reason either. Would it be fair to prohibit entry to the attys that did sue MSG? Even though attys just represent the interests of their clients?
I'm aware they aren't a protected class.

My position is clearly this isn't something just deferred to the state police powers. The fed can conjure up, via the interstate commerce clause, the requirement that businesses not discriminate even for local intrastate trade.
>denying people access to events after you already took their money for admission to them

What if you discover fraud or criminality after the ticket is sold but before entry? Leave this lawyer tempest in a teapot aside for the moment, I'm talking unambiguous crime.

>denying people access to events for what their co-workers did

Say I'm known to be employed by the Lawyers for The Right to Throw Octopi at Hockey Players Coalition, but haven't yet thrown my first octopus. Why can you not act proactively to prevent nuisance? Employment at a particular organization is not protected status, like race or sexual orientation would be. Also, what constitutes an event? If there's a trade show or a product unveiling I don't want certain competitors to attend, why should I have to grant them access? Other than you being in rather narrowly specified groups, if I don't want your money, I should be allowed to refuse it.
On paper or to an engineer it might feel comparable but it just is not. WebGL introduces a lot of complexities.

If you think that logic applies to the few attys that go to MSG, I think you should read back on those cases. I'm curious if you went to law school or not.
I really want to like the gmail trick with . and + but I've run into issues many times with websites that don't share validation code between registering for a service and logging in. I've had situations where I've been able to register for something fine, but the login form breaks saying + is not valid. This often leads to having to call customer services and explain to a confused rep the situation.

Additionally as others have mentioned I'd imagine a lot of websites who do permit these addresses are already "normalizing" the address anyway and storing that instead

try_files will handle checking if the file already exists, if it doesn't it will use ssi.html which will then handle including the file. If there isn't a request for a specific file, e.g. https://example.com/, then it will include "inc_index.html" (that's just the string "inc" not a variable "$inc" and I'm comparing to "/" from memory, it might just need to be an empty "").

You could skip the "set $inc $request_uri" line and simply use $uri (that's the normalized URI) in ssi.html.
> Going by dates of introduction to determine if a math topic should be part of general knowledge doesn't make sense.

On one hand, yes, and that’s part of the point I usually make when I recite how far into the standard university course Newton’s or Gauss’s knowledge can still be found. On the other hand, no, and that’s the other part of the point I want to make when lamenting high-school maths, because the state of the art there is obsolete to a level that’s patently insane. Thank you for making me think about this.

I’ll put it like that. How often do you change your mind? (Or, if you want: how often do you make breaking changes to your APIs?) Obviously it makes to sense to keep a running tally and decide whether to do it or not depending on which side of the target value you’re currently on. Making a performance indicator out of this is a sure-fire way to end up in a completely twisted universe.

On the other hand, if you do it all the time something’s equally obviously gone awry—maybe you just started out being very wrong, and that’s not a problem with the current you, but if after some time there’s still no signs of settling you need to do some soul-searching. Similarly but even more dangerously, if you never do it, it’s of course possible you were simply right to begin with, and that’s happened once or twice in history, but you must seriously consider that you might either be living among fools or avoiding the intrinsic discomfort of the process and thus a fool yourself.

I’d say the recency of a general-education syllabus is an indicator of a similar nature: meaningless in each particular instance, and emphatically not to be used as a target metric, but at the same time as the average goes into the margins it’s increasingly likely it’s failing at its job. And by that measure maths is universally in deep shit. (The natural sciences are as well, just with more variance; I’m not qualified to judge the rest.)

I'm in a similar boat (worse actually, since I'm on a visa) so I can't give specific advice, but @patio11 [1] greatly encouraged me to consider freelance/consulting as a career path.

I am going through the grind of prepping for the tech interview all over again, and it just occurred to me that I might be approaching this from the wrong angle. If instead of spending all these hours every day solving leetcode problems or trying to "grok" the system design interview, I spent them networking and building a portfolio, it might result in a much better ROI.

But alas, my visa status doesn't allow me to do anything either way. Maybe one day.
