Its mostly a culture thing. Mastodon has built a culture of aggressively protecting users because a lot of people are there because they received abuse through other platforms which refused to ban serial abusers.

Whether that's good or bad is a different discussion, but the fact is that it's resulted in some fairly aggressive federation policies. In general, people on mastodon are pretty okay with this because they value their personal safety and comfort over "free speech" ideals.

The thinking is that your instance has the right to moderate and federate however you want. Having posts from your server federated into mine is a privilege and totally at my discretion. If your server federates with hate speech servers and you don't intend to change that, I'm going to block you to prevent anything from the hate speech server from reaching mine.

The overall goal is to protect users first and allow free speech second. Mastodon users want a safe and friendly place to have fun and hang out. It's meant to be a place to escape from free speech hellholes like Twitter.

So servers defederate quickly and aggressively. Whether or not defederating from your server causes you problems is very strictly a "you" problem. The safety and comfort of users is paramount.
Apparently there's evidence for increases and decreases in speed of propagation. The difference is really small, on the order of 0.1 degrees per year, which is something like 7 miles at the surface and much less at the core.

Some models claims it goes from 0.1 degree faster to slower, every 35 years or so.
FWIW A site that listed exactly which Airlines Owned which airplanes and the model and tail number of the airplane would be super useful to me personally

Since such an oven won't be able to connect to google.com if it is located in China, looks like lazy/resourceful engineering instead of malicious intent.

> That's complicated indeed. When I start thinking about who can track me (wi-fi, bluetooth and RFID scanners and surveillance cameras everywhere, my telecom provider, banks, public transportation, gmail etc., browser fingerprinting…) I just don't see any practical way to ultimately hide. Add the fundamental lack of trust to any device using ICs (evidence-based, field verifiable) and it becomes just insane.

It is unfortunate that there appears to be only one way to reclaim our privacy,and that is through the passing of new laws and regulations. However, due to the way that laws are passed in the United States, I am not very optimistic. For instance, sometimes unrelated laws are attached to necessary budget bills in order for them to pass, or a three hundred-page bill of legal jargon is given a misleading title such as the "PATRIOT" Act (The unpatriotic bill). Furthermore, both political parties do not seem particularly supportive of privacy, if anything they appear to be opposed to it. We need to somehow make this an important political issue in 2024.
Have you found any good managed places to deploy modern .NET apps other than Azure? My experience is you can either use Azure, in which it's fairly abstracted for you but overpriced, or you can use something like DO where it's more reasonably priced but you have to handle everything yourself.
I would say a large part of it is that layoffs are terrible for PR, so many companies are jumping on the layoff bandwagon while it's "acceptable". Being one of 40 large companies doing mass layoffs is much better than being an isolated incident on the news curve at some other point.
Well my XPS 9380 bricked itself after installing pop_os, now it doesn't even Dell boot logo; just totally bricked to shit.

Good. It was a terrible machine anyway, overheating problems, noise problems, shoddy keyboard/power button construction. Avoid Dell.
I liked the post's title more than the article's contents. It got me wondering about the difference between language and thought, if there actually is any. Is thought just unspoken language? Do we think if we don't know a language?

Is there a subset of any human language that can be described by a formal regular grammar without giving up the expressiveness of human language? Is there a notion of "Turing completeness" but for thought rather than computation?
The number of Elixir/Erlang backend suggestions seems over-represented. Not even Phoenix, just a blanket language suggestion. This leads me to believe that many posts are throwing out their newest stack-fad they imagine would be good for an application. I wouldn't take too much stock in the frequency of keywords here.
I think men are finally enjoying not having to provide and absorb the daddy role in their relationships. They are saying, hey we are equal now so don't expect me to be your daddy. Also accepting that we are living in a partnership with our partners. Not some White Knight syndrome Disney fairytale. Men are finally realizing that they don't have to do anything they don't want to do. It's all optional. Sticking your stick in a one slimy hole for eternity included. Those who can't deal with the new reality will figure it out eventually. No phase transition is unrevolting.

Don't even get me started with that for better or for worse crap. No I don't want to communicate to my partner that I will put up will all the shit they will throw at me. Divorce rates speak for themselves.

What is strange is that more and more women actually do not like the equal trajectory of things to come. They want to live in a White Knight Syndrome Disney Fairy Tale where Mr Brawny the lumberjack takes care of all the shit they choose to not want to do. Sort of like reverse indentured servitude using emotion as currency.

You seem to be upset that they're charging money for something, and then you separately seem to be upset that they're trying to do the actual work needed to fulfill the promises made via the sales. Is Luke Iseman supposed to just sit down and stop having a job, or does he merely need your signoff before he starts a new project? What, in the end, is your point?

I'm not sure I'm ready to join you in outrage that someone started a business for the purpose of earning money.
No not at all. Rich people who benefit from the system can also be victim to it in other ways. Not all managers are sociopaths and I’m sure a lot of them feel shit about some of the things they have to do in order to maintain their jobs. And everyone, regardless of wealth and status, is subject to the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and whatever personal tragedies they may bring. As I said we need finer grained diagnoses. You might have for example:

- Catatonic depression, likely physical in nature

- Shit Life Syndrome [1], likely societal cause, possibly other issues are play

- Privilege Pathos, likely caused by past trauma, loss or existential issues

These are obviously exaggerated groupings to make the point. At the end of the day, at the receiving end of every diagnosis is an individual with a unique biology and backstory that lead to their depression. But if you want to have the most impact on reducing the ever skyrocketing amount of depression cases, you would be best to focus on the societal issues and that, in my opinion, is what is causing the most symptoms in the most amount of people. The people in the other two categories (the catatonic and the rich) are the people most likely to be currently receiving treatment anyway, the first because they can no longer look after themselves and so wind up in the system and the second because they have the means to access therapies.

I encourage you to look into CBT. The best version of it I've seen is in the David Burns book "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy". Although you can also try a therapist (but they might be more hit/miss).

The basic idea of CBT is that our thoughts are a result of our actions, and by changing our actions we can change our thoughts. I'm not going to say it's super easy, but it definitely does work.
I think it is indisputable that the Republican party of today is vastly different than it was in 1980. It is a historical fact that marginalized men are prone to radicalization. It is bad for a society to have so many young men who are not finding sexual partners, or who are not participating in society in normative ways. The radicalization appears to be more on the right leaning side of things than on the left leaning side in terms of absolute numbers in the United States.

I would think fear of being blown up by mainland China at any moment is bad for capital investment... meanwhile you have a highly skilled and educated workforce vying to man the capital in the country. I would think that would make labor artificially weak.

IMO Taiwan needs world recognition and solid assurances their capital investments won't end up in the opium pipe of some CCP party man. Until then you'd have to be kind of insane to bet the farm providing jobs to Taiwan.

Taiwan offers a really easy "gold card" for Americans that I considered getting but I realized what they needed wasn't my labor but lots of foreigners from powerful allies living in the crosshairs to make sure allies will get really really pissed if they get blown up.
I don't think Sagrada Familia has been "left unfinished". It is still unfinished, yes, but construction continues, it hasn't stopped as far as I could tell last time I was in Barcelona.
When I was about 10 years old 1983 (+/- 2 years) I was 'camping' in my backyard with a friend. While we were running around in the dark we saw an asteroid bounce off the atmosphere and either enter below my visual horizon or pass by the earth.

It was about the size golfball/chicken egg held at arms length. I was facing East-South-East (approximately).

It was a bright red, and I could see impact craters on the surface of it. There were no 'flames/fireballs' from orbital entry friction.

The entire incident lasted less then 10 seconds (but this is very much a guess, and impacted by the time-frames involved).
"color pallet" didn't look right. Maybe "colour palette", though it's hard to be sure whether both halves are just American.
It's an old myth... like here's an article in American Anthropologist from 1934 talking about it: https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1525...

There's a lot of data showing it isn't true, but it’s one of those “facts” that feels true because there’s a lot of stressors and unhealthy things about modern life.
The repo contains the entire logic for the Alice smart assistant (kinda like Siri but more cheeky).

They only parse Russian and Turkish I think, so the parser/tokenizer/etc would have to be replaced if you wanted to steal and repurpose it for another language, but the rest could probably be translated and you’d get a working production-grade smart assistant for somewhat cheap-ish.
costco still uses IBM products.. DB2 ... spufi anyone? I believe some companies like Gap are still using them as point-of-sale as well. It seems IBM has too many employees for the things they do.. I expect more cuts.

"Creative" as a criterion for video success is at the very least under assault. Looking at what I get, I am not quite so cynical as to say it's dead. It's not. But it is certainly under assault.

There is also the problem of a small number of truly creative content creators getting their content and ideas yanked by people armed with AIs who can then completely out compete the actual creatives.

This has, to an extent, actually already happened for very young child content. Look at "Elsagate": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate but for the purposes of my comment here, ignore the disturbing nature of the content and instead observe that the content obviously had heavy computer generation influence, and could only be cranked out more quickly and effectively with some rather simple AI.

Like I said, it's not here yet, but the first derivative is clearly positive here, and the second probably is too. Pure AI content that looks like live action is not a prerequisite.

I'm not entirely sure Elsagate itself didn't itself source from some AI in some critical manner. It doesn't seem to have completely created the video from top to bottom, but it looks an awful lot to me like what you'd expect an AI writing the scripts, with the feedback provided by view numbers, and completely unscrupulous humans implementing the scripts for the views, spinning off into a hyperoptimized regime for that one goal at the expense of all else. And, you know, it basically worked. If anything it worked too well. The first AI corruption of video sites may well be in the past, not the future.
I use this tool, and its realy great! It keeps me connected in a slow velocity way to a conversation.
A computer program is not a person, so the argument that stable diffusion does what a person does is of limited relevance.
I'm stunned that almost anyone would go through the effort of connecting their oven to WiFi. I'll be more concerned when these become 5G connected and start charging you a monthly fee for connection. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future you can get $100 OFF! by signing up for the $5/mo service that you just can't seem to cancel (or it's free for the first year when you sign up with a credit card).
> - I generally skipped Phoenix, as I'm just using Elixir to create my API.

Why specifically? Phoenix is mostly just some convenience on top of plug, but does a lot of things you'll have to reinvent.

From your google search result: https://www.newamericaneconomy.org/housingmap/

"Importantly, the research finds that immigrants revitalize less desirable neighborhoods in costly metropolitan areas, opening up new alternatives for middle- and working-class Americans to buy homes, and immigration supports the housing market without exacerbating the nation’s worst affordability problems, because immigrants themselves tend not to settle in the most expensive places."
99.9% of the people have no idea about these sensors and if the result is 20% better or worse in either direction, I don't think anybody would make this a major point in their buying choice.
I would recommend adding a few videos with more information on your landing page. Even the Steam page just has screenshots. Obviously it's a free game so you're not concerned about sales in the monetary sense, but it would "sell" the game more to have some videos included.

Any recommendations on what type of accounts to use or what might be decent investments? I certainly wouldn’t put anything I’d call an “emergency fund” in stocks right now
> The findings of two decades of profitability studies are equivocal: The majority of firms that conduct layoffs do not see improved profitability, whether measured by return on assets, return on equity, or return on sales. Layoffs are especially hard on the performance of companies with a high reliance on R&D, low capital intensity, and high growth. Market response to layoffs was also less positive than might be expected, with three-day share prices of firms conducting layoffs generally neutral. ... Layoffs undertaken only for the purpose of reducing costs tended to lead to drops in share price.

We need to circulate this information as wide and far as possible. Perhaps at least some well meaning CEOs will grow a backbone to at least challenge the board.

> I do find it disheartening that it's opt-out instead of opt-in

This is the crux of the issue for me. It's a different set of rules for AI companies than everyone else. If I started selling pirated copies of Nintendo games they would send an army of lawyers after me and this "opt-out" reasoning would not be a valid defense in court. These AI companies are trying to get away with stealing art and other content with a simple "whoopsie, we promise we won't do it again" when people demand that their own rights be respected.
Google didn't launch YouTube, Android, or DoubleClick; those were acquisitions.
Laid Off from Google Search?
I just got laid off from Google search after working on the ranking team for four years. Wanted to see if there's anyone out there that wants to build a search startup, especially if you're ex-Google. I have some ideas for how to build a search engine like 2010 Google, that's relatively low tech (i.e. achievable). If you're interested email me at username @ Gmail.

> Executive Producer usually means

Executive Producer (and producer) means a wide variety of different things, and there are frequently many with different substantive roles on any given production; but the accounts I’ve seen of Baldwin’s specific role as EP on this production, not a general inference from the scope of what the title usually means or can mean, was the basis of the description.

EDIT: In any case, per protocols nominally in place for the production, as an actor he was supposed to have inspected the firearm and ammunition with the armorer. There are different accounts over the exact narrative around how that didn't happen, but none of them that I’ve seen appear to be exonerative to Baldwin.
> I really wish Chinese switched completely to pinyin

That's like wishing English would switch to IPA because English spelling is wildly inconsistent - which English would you choose? People who speak different dialects can still understand each other using written Chinese, whereas Pinyin is for Mandarin only.

What is the storm they're worried about, if not mass layoffs concentrated within an industry?

Inflation is almost down to normal, employment is still high and will remain so as long as the construction sector avoids layoffs due to the coming cash infusion from federal spending bills.

Seems to me the only storm coming is the one created by these same execs, though I understand each of them is incentivized to follow the crowd.

> but no matter how much I try I never seem to be able to cultivate any kind of lasting relationship with others.

I used to run a startup focused on this, here is what I learned:

Time. The answer is time. Research shows there are two ways long term bonds are formed, shared adversity[1], or lots of time spent together. General rule of thumb for relationship building:

1. 10 hours together is someone you know
2. 100 hours together is a good acquittance.
3. 1000 hours together is a good friend and a relationship that can now last a long time

This is why activities such as football watching (3*18, 54 hours a year, 2 years and you now have the beginnings of a good friends circle), or weekly poker matches (2 hours, almost 100 hours in a year) are so effective at building relationships.

Interpersonal hobbies with lots of down time, like rock climbing or playing in a band, accelerate this process greatly.

For people with kids, weekly play dates, or a weekly rotated dinner hosting.

Friendship is literally grinding hours, when we are young it is easy, studying and hanging out get those hours in, but when we get older, we have to be purposeful about it.

[1] Military boot camps are an example of this, so are the various culture wars. If you make people feel they are part of an oppressed group, preferably while isolating them from society at large, you will forms a cohesive group that acts together and one where everyone feels connected to each other. "Both sides" of the political spectrum do this, once you learn to spot it you start seeing it everywhere.

But to selectively quote from slightly further down TFA:

> Krishna’s strategy has been focused on bolstering the company’s offerings in hybrid cloud — providing services to customers that run their own data centers in some combination with public cloud

i.e. making it easier to move between data centers and cloud, and back again, so if "companies are taking a look at how much they are spending on cloud." then sounds like IBM are skating towards where the puck is going.
I'm against stuff like this and totally eschew even offline gadgets, but its not that hard to come up with some use cases.

After you left the house: "Did I turn off the oven? Did I turn off a burner (eg slowly cooking a bean bot)?" Now you can know.

Is a (top or interior or anywhere) burner slowly leaking and should alert the owner? Maybe.

And as you said, pre-heating, though this is actually a feature that makes things more dangerous! If you or someone else was temporarily storing something not-ovenable in the oven and pre-heated remotely, you could come home to something very bad.
