> If you’re a member of one of those “socially disadvantaged groups” you can’t do anything about the unearned advantages held by other people. All you can do is control your own actions.

This is not true. You can organize others in your group, in other disadvantaged groups, and even allies in the socially dominant groups and try to change society to be more just. Atomization and learned helplessness are tools of these unfairly-advantaged groups. Believing this is doing their work for them.

This doesn't mean you have to be Rosa Luxembourg, but know that keeping your nose down is not the only option. There are others.
As a related thought (in the spirit of the day), IMO these GBs/TBs of Leaks are more useful now that you can query them with "good enough" LLMs. It would be interesting to revisit/index past leaks with sematic search.

I wonder what snowden think... no not of the NLP search ! this russia leak (as a "russian")
The leaked content is said to relate to the Nintendo Switch and could include information on its inner workings, source code for games, and graphics files. The total size of the leak is estimated to be over 50GB.

Yeah Lutron Caseta dimmers can connect a hub while not needing a neutral. They also can be linked to wireless remotes without need internet access. It is a good balance of smart switches and functionality without smart features.
If you look at Table C-1 in parent's source, it has median post-tax household income at 65K which is a much more reasonable number. We're incredibly wealthy, a per-person median income of 19K doesn't pass the sniff test. Keep in mind taxes are much lower at the lower end of the income spectrum as well. If you're married and making the median income, your overall federal tax rate is only going to be about 15%.

Any reasonable person can see that there's much greater danger in allowing a child to ride in a car on a highway--which no doubt would be considered perfectly acceptable by these police. Look at this visualization of cause of death by age: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/data/lcd/home. For those kids, the number one cause of death is "unintentional injury," the biggest component of which is motor vehicle crashes. Unfortunately, these police wield incredible power in our legal system, and, as a lawyer, I don't see any easy fix. It makes me sad that I'll be raising my child in this kind of environment.
Right, but my original point was that no normal person (including OP) dares to take such a risk with a single stock, so in real life there is no "equivalent amount of S&P" in the equation.

it drew me pictures in SVG. it correctly depicted a triangle and 5 circles in different colors each and also made some flags, although not the ones i asked for.

for fish it drew a hollow circle.

for heart it drew a red filled circle.

for flags, it often could describe accurately how the flag of a particular country looks like but drew the French one anyways, while claiming it shows this and that color which agrees to the flag I asked for :)

Interesting case for the Hungarian flag:

"The flag of Hungary is made up of three equal-sized horizontal bands, with the middle band being wider than the two outer bands. The left band is red, the center band is white, and the right band is green."

… and it put the flipped Romanian/Andorran flag in the svg :)

What does the richest do in this situation? Surely some must feel the need for their kids to venture out on their own, or do they live in a neighborhood where these types of policing doesn't happen?
Hate to be the voice of reason, but the size of Meta, I'm not even convinced whoever thought up this lawsuit was aware of the hypocrisy.
> I know that this is nothing out in Silicon Valley, but for reference, the median income in the US is $19k (net) per year, and about $15k (net) per year in Europe (if you include eastern Europe).

Your (net) number in the US is way too low.

The real (aka inflation adjusted) median earnings for US workers is around $42K before taxes.

Tax rates at the lower end of the income spectrum in the US are very low. Federal income tax is effectively 0% for the bottom income brackets, though they’ll have to pay some payroll taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, and others along the way. Even considering that, there’s no way to go from the >$40K median earnings to your $19K net income figure.
Yes, it is obviously the most useful if you are a Flutter developer. According to Google, over 20% of new apps on Google Play are now made with Flutter so it's a large segment in itself.
> you hear about the bad cops in departments like the LAPD and NYPD

New York (state) police kill about 1/3 of the median, California just a little under the median[0]. I imagine those numbers are higher for the two cities you've mentioned than state-wide.

Again and again I am astonished that people without ethics exist, that they are confident in what they are doing and that they appear to be completely unable to reflect upon their actions. They just don't care and appear to be proud of it.

If this is used to scam old people out of their belongings then you really have to question your actions and imho bear some responsibility. Was it worth it? Do the positive uses outweigh their negatives? They use examples of misuse of technology as if that would free them of any guilt. As if previous errors would allow them to do anything because greater mistakes were made.

You are not, of course, completely responsible for the actions others take but if you create something you have to keep in mind bad actors exist. You can't just close your eyes if your actions lead to a strictly worse world. Old people scammed out of their savings are real people and it is real pain. I can't imagine the desperation and the helplessness following that. It really makes me angry how someone can ignore so much pain and not even engage in an argument whether it's the right thing to do.

unless you supply the raw figures as well, it remains a sleight of hand.

Let me put this another way; anyone in the 99% would happily swap income with the 1% and then pay twice as much tax on that income than the current 1% do.
Here's my guess: ad money. Generating loads of mediocre, simple articles for SEO purposes for ad money. Then you can hire other kinds of bots to pump up your page views. If someone is smart about it they will target articles in the topic of "ways to make money online/passive income" (which is mostly click bait but also pays the most) and then produce videos on YT to push people to their content. ChatGPT can write your video script, probably farm it out to voice actors, add some free b-roll video and post it for you.
I posted above briefly about my experience with a TES device.

While my usage was occasional, I did have a very unique perceived response to a session, and it wasn’t dissimilar to stimulants prescribed for ADHD.

However, that response didn’t last much longer than a few minutes after removing the device. I also didn’t feel the mild pseudo-euphoria I commonly experience with ADHD medication, which seems a significant element of resolving ADHD symptoms.
Two things can be true at the same time:

- I'd rather be in a world where an internet celebrity cured blindness in 1000 people than a world where they did nothing.

- I'd rather be in a world where having your vision fixed didn't depend on charity, which is a deeply flawed and unethical way to fight inequality.
Most of our cops a no longer people who want to protect their communities. They're losers who like the feeling of power. The ability to impose their will on others is a rush.
So happy for Tarn and Zach. DF is a truly special game, and I'm happy that they've been able to secure both theirs and DF's future.

It's not so much a web framework as it is an app backend. So it's not great (yet) at rendering web pages, but it is great for doing remote method calls and streaming data. That being said, Serverpod is not limited to Flutter, you can use it for any Dart app.
I found this figure: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Median_p... (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_...). The individual median net income was $19k around 2005-2006, maybe they were just using outdated numbers? Or it could've been a typo or misreading, as the current median net income is $29k. In any case, their point still stands with the $29k figure.
There does not need to be a law about this.
Has anyone tried using ChatGPT to train their own (albeit substantially less complicated) ML implementations? Is that even a reasonable or practical thing to do?

I get the privacy concerns and I'm glad to see these alternatives, but why does this article act like voice is a bad way to control a smart home? It's incredibly intuitive and extremely powerful to be able to adjust anything from anywhere with your hands full. In fact, it's one of the only applications where voice control is obviously an improvement.
Minecraft was 2009 and had a graphical interface.

I doubt that in 2006 a game with an ASCII-Interface would have been a great success if people had to pay for it.
You know where this problem is? In the mirror.

The kind of people who think it's reasonable to call the cops over a nothing-burger like this are simply a part the extremist long tail that is a product of middle/upper middle class culture that condones and encourages bucking everything to some external party whenever possible. When you exist in a bubble where everyone is patting each other on the back for calling the city over disputes that should at least be initially handled between neighbors, reporting petty business disputes to the state AG, calling a plumber to replace a toilet flapper, getting engineered drawings for a garden shed, etc, etc, it should come as no surprise that some people take this sort of responsibility to think for yourself outsourcing too far and call the cops on some kids walking down the street.

Of course dispatch and the police were behaving like idiots here too but they are clearly serving a community where responding to frivolous calls like this is the norm because if this one case was so outside of their normal purview it wouldn't have been handled the way it was.

And the DCF part, well that fact pattern just looks like a boring old case of bureaucratic incentives and ass covering. They were fishing for something to make the rest of the fact pattern look less unreasonable. And then when they found it they jumped right to some sort of remediable action so they could say "there, we did something, case closed".
Interesting.

Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Xenomorph Wrangler position at Weyland-Yutani. With a passion for xenomorphs, extensive experience with staff management and safety protocols, and an enthusiasm for customer service I believe I am the perfect candidate for this role.
At Illia Heavy Manufacturing Concern I had the privilege of leading a team of five in reorganizing xenomorph handling. My team was successful in reducing staff casualties by more than 50 percent per quarter - all while increasing our xeno population from two to 11,290. Through my experience with xeno care, customer service, and personnel management I have developed a unique perspective on how to handle these creatures safely and humanely.
Furthermore, my background in customer service has provided me with the skills needed to efficiently manage transfer of xenos to clients as well as ensure their safety throughout the entire process. With my attention to detail and commitment to quality customer service I can guarantee that each client receives satisfaction through our services.
In conclusion, my qualifications make me an ideal fit for this role at Weyland-Yutani as your Xenomorph Wrangler. Thank you for your time and consideration; I look forward to discussing this opportunity further with you soon.
Sincerely yours,
> why not accept its existence and change ourselves.

That works too, like we accept the algorithms which tie people to screens and used to spread misinformation and manipulate the masses.

> We all know what this is used for and its tasteless at best.

Yeah, like interview fraud, misinformation campaigns and what not. These are tasteless, but not harmless.
That would require greater than 50% taxation, which isn’t realistic at all in the United States.

The federal income tax rates for lower income brackets reach 0%. State, sales, payroll, and other taxes aren’t going to come anywhere near 50%.

The real, net, median income in the United States is significantly higher than what the OP quoted.

When I was six years old, my best friend and I rode our bicycle 2 miles to RadioShack. On the way back, his grandmother found us and said go home! So we did. No one got arrested.

Your parents should start suing. The people who are reporting this kind of crap. Custodial interference, I don't know I'm not a lawyer, but maybe a lawsuit will teach people to mind their own business.

People used to talk about "The Popsicle Index"[1] which is the percentage of families in an area comfortable with letting an elementary school aged child walk to the nearest store and buy a popsicle on their own. These days parents don't get to make that decision, the entire community makes it for them. Any dissenting opinion can result in losing your kids.

The platform works as well as netflix, it’s the licencing of content which is different
It is convenient. I ultimately turned it off because the kids found it very convenient, too. Not to control their own lights, mind you.

I had to turn off Echo integration altogether for the same reason. Took them 2 minutes to figure out they could command Alexa to turn off the lights in someone else's room. Even though Alexa recognizes them as different people and has the room lights assigned to their respective room.

I wonder if Amazon has fixed that yet. Haven't tried in a couple years.
Twitch was kinda already interdimensional cable. A former roomate and I would occasionally dive into the depths of twitch looking for unusual and interesting streams and we called it "watching interdimensional cable". There was some really wildly strange stuff out there. I toyed with building a tool to help find streams with the right je ne sais qua, but I never could quite beat our heuristic of just sorting by fewest viewers and scanning for things that looked like they might be good.
What a nice coincidence - I used it for debugging a UDP connection earlier today.

This just sounds like taxes are way too high in that area. Cut them by 75% and we’ll see if the government has anything stupid to do after that.
GPT seems to work well on simple queries. What's your experience trying to generate SQL queries with complex logic across multiple tables?
I recently got an Alpha-Stim CES device for anxiety, it's used by people to treat insomnia and depression as well. The research is still not enough to make a strong determination on effectiveness of these and I figured it would mainly be a placebo device, but actually I have tried it for the past weeks and found it has helped treat anxiety - a similar impact to taking a low dose of Ativan for me.

It doesn't directly have long term impacts, but I find reducing anxiety in the moment can build up memory for better mental practices in the future. I use it for a 40 minute session 2-3 times a week, especially if things are feeling really difficult when I might ordinarily need to take an anti anxiety med. The effects do last longer then the treatment duration, many hours afterwards for me. It can help me meditate as well, increasing my focus and reducing mental distractions a bit. If you turn it up too high, it starts to give you a dizzy/vertigo feeling, the recommendation is to run it just below that level.

Anyone else have experience with the Alpha-Stim or other CES/tDCS/tACS devices for mental health? I wish the nice research devices like in the study were available to the public, there are a ton of settings and modes they are able to test in studies like this, that you'd have to buy a dozen consumer devices of questionable quality to get any similar flexibility.
I don't know how old you are, but I did much the same quite often and want to add: For me at least, it was without a cellphone.

I think even a lot of people old enough to have kids these days don't realise how many of us spent hours not just roaming around freely, but roaming around freely with no way for our parents to contact us or know where we were.
That's great, I think I've added you on LinkedIn

That is uncalled for, I know a ton of people that grew up in Warsaw Pact countries and they could in fact walk to Babushka's Dumpling Shop and back without getting their parents arrested.

I'd recommend people skip the article and go directly the advocacy site it links to and affect change locally. The event happened in 2019, involves the typical dumb ACAB trope and then is swept away.

They most likely dropped charges because it was an unlawful arrest and the parents could have sued and most likely won. When the DA found out they most likely shut the whole thing down.

I had this happen then I was stuck on a small side project that was slightly out of my wheelhouse.

It wasn’t meaningful enough to spend a lot of time researching or to pay someone to solve it so I was just going to give up on it.

Asked ChatGPT and it was able to unblock me by pointing me in the right direction.

Now I have a working tool to solve a very specific problem of mine.
Hmmm. Not necessarily. I mean if what you did does not change the outcome in any way, then is what you did even evil? If you have no marginal impact, can you ever do good or evil? I am not sure actually.

I realize that this could also apply to lower rank soldiers involved in some war crimes, etc. so I guess it is not that clear cut. But would you blame a random soldier of lowest rank for carrying out terrible orders and not risking himself(or his family)? Well I don't know. I guess I would not.

Of course, the stakes are rarely that high, but the harm done is also rarely that high also.
Well when they want to withdraw the money eventually they’d get taxed right?

A great suggestion, thank you. The issue with this approach is that I have longer hair and a gel may have more difficulty bridging contact between the device and my scalp, plus it likely requires more effort to clean up. I might look into this.
