This wasn't true many years ago. Is this a recent change? Maybe Covid related to keep the amount of contacts down?

Also if you're in coach, you can still reserve a spot in the dining car and pay for your meal (or at least you could). I did that a few times over the course of a trip. Lots of weird characters in coach, for better and for worse. But at least you know why the train is stopped in a crossing to let Amtrak police board, or who the FBI agents are looking for.

I'd describe taking the train as like a condensed driving trip. If you've got a few days to spare getting to your destination, but not the month required for a full cross country road trip, it's definitely worth doing!
It’s not a strawman and there isn’t much nuance to what you yourself said. It’s not even close to being adequate.

Claiming that people are arguing for “synthesis” is just a weasel word escape route. Indigenous farming is completely inadequate and the parts that are useful have already been incorporated into modern farming.

>There is no ethical issue here. The companies asking for your identity generally don’t need it and providing them with a persona could be argued is the more ethical route given the implications it has on privacy and mass surveillance.

Giving those entities even a fake persona will negatively impact your privacy over the medium to long term. The better solution is for folks to vote with their feet and refuse to use such entities.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be a popular choice, but that doesn't mean it isn't the right one.

the same economics applies, it's sort of the whole point of economics, it's generalizable, it's not a collection of special circumstances, nor is it escapable. hiring takes place because wages for the work are worth it, and hiring will decline if not. It's not a value judgement or a moral judgment, it's the same way you spend your own money, only if it's worth it.

the audience here is tech workers so I used that to get the emotional resonance for the plight of the salaried worker.

What was the pill?
you can do so, and properly calibrate it, and cross check it with some "known good" sensor you lend yourself from a friend and make sure you get the heat sensitivity of sensor and stuff like that right etc.

most people can't, or more precise they probably can put something together but can't make sure it works correctly under any situation (in operation range)

what you pay for is that someone makes sure it works properly

else you can get sensors with similar or same hardware on amazon too, it's just that their correct reliability is not guaranteed at all and just checking if the values outside seem right is by far not enough to verify that (because it e.g. might behave right on low but not high CO2 levels or not on high/low humidity, etc.)
I forgot all about poison ivy's appearance as a (dried out) vine, and I proceeded to cut and rip huge chunks of it off a spruce tree in my yard.

The first indication I made a huge mistake was a relentless cough all that evening from the dust it generated as it broke off the tree. For the next month, I had horrible patches on my forearms and random other spots on my trunk where either it grazed me or I touched with my contaminated gloved hand. Luckily, I had some beta methadone lying around that helped the worst of the itching.

Even the dermatologist, when I saw him about 2 weeks post exposure, was horrified.

And I'd like to reiterate it's not 100% apples to apples comparing fluxsort and glidesort directly. One would need to either completely implement glidesort in unsafe C throwing Rust-isms as move-only types and panic safety out of the window, or implement fluxsort in Rust with the move-only restrictions and with the ability to restore all data in case of a panic. Only then could you truly compare the algorithms 100% fairly.
The freeze/reboot/fine cycle seems to be a common one for SSDs acting poorly, running out of blocks they want to use internally, or memory or cache or something, or just hanging in their own firmware for whatever other reason.

One of my earlier forays into switching to SSDs, I installed Intel... I think it was 525, 535, something like that, 2.5 inch SATA drives in several different machines. Every one has failed by now with this similar mode of (in)operation. On my desktop where I had one, it would simply bluescreen, but then come back fine until eventually reading certain parts of the disk would just always cause it to hang and it had to be replaced. Failed SSDs like this are interesting because Windows (and to a lesser extent Linux) really aren't prepared for the disk to just hang, so trying to recover anything off them can be a challenge.

Just recently I found out the last one I had around, in a little headless desktop server, was the cause of my problems with it where it would partially hang after a couple days of uptime. Having finally gotten around to having it hooked up to a display, I was treated to a sea of red dmesg errors from the disk.

I think ultimately part of the problem was new power-saving features Intel had tried to add for these disks, which would cause them to write to themselves a large amount and just eat through their useful lifetime much faster than you'd assume.

In almost every case, I replaced these with, of course... Samsungs. Though I believe I've been lucky enough not to choose any of their bad ones.

I gave my ABOVE answer text to ChatGPT and asked to refine my idea, this is what it produced.
-------

There are two distinct groups of opinions regarding the usefulness of ChatGPT: supporters and detractors. These differing perspectives stem from the varying needs and expectations of individuals in different professions.

For technical individuals, such as coders, the process of finding the correct solution to a problem can take a considerable amount of time. ChatGPT can be extremely helpful in streamlining this process by suggesting code snippets that have worked in the past, reducing the time spent on trial and error. In this sense, ChatGPT does not have to be an original thinker or produce the absolute best solution, as long as it helps the coder to reach a workable solution efficiently.

However, for non-technical individuals, such as writers, the focus is often on originality and creativity. ChatGPT may not be as helpful in this context because it is limited to suggesting based on pre-existing templates and previous examples. A writer who spends an hour relying on ChatGPT's suggestions may not end up with the best possible article, which could result in a feeling of dissatisfaction. In this scenario, the writer may feel that ChatGPT is not truly helping them to reach their full potential, leading them to view it as a hindrance rather than a help.

In conclusion, the usefulness of ChatGPT is dependent on the individual's specific needs and expectations. For those in technical fields, it can be a valuable tool, while for those in more creative professions, its limitations may outweigh its benefits.

This is the problem with the zoning debate: people exclude the middle, and say that zoning is either good single-family regions where kids can play on the streets, or terrible industrial zones that look like Giede Prime.

Jerome Powell’s press conference
https://www.federalreserve.gov/mediacenter/files/FOMCprescon...

At a press conference on February 1, 2023, Chair Powell of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) discussed the FOMC's decision to raise the policy interest rate by 25 basis points. Powell noted that recent indicators point to modest growth of spending and production this quarter, and that job gains have been robust, with employment rising by an average of 247,000 jobs per month over the last three months. He also noted that total PCE prices rose 5.0 percent over the 12 months ending in December, and that core PCE prices rose 4.0 percent. Powell emphasized that the FOMC is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective, and that the Committee decided to raise interest rates by 25 basis points today in order to assess the economy's progress toward its goals. He also noted that the FOMC is carefully watching the economy and inflation, and that it is important that overall financial conditions continue to reflect the policy restraint that is being put in place in order to bring inflation down to 2 percent. Powell concluded that his base case is that the economy can return to 2 percent inflation without a significant downturn or increase in unemployment.

> Jubilant Mascot is a 1/1 creature with an ability that allows you to pay {3}{W} at the beginning of combat on your turn to support two other target creatures. This means that you can put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two other target creatures. Support can target a creature another player controls, and multiple abilities can target the same creature. If some, but not all, targets for a spell become illegal, the remaining targets are affected as appropriate. It is interesting to note that Jubilant Mascot is legal in Legacy, but not in Modern or Historic.

Pretty neat how it picked out an interesting fact about the cards legality. And it seems to handle parsing what a keyword does.

> The worst thing about being smart is how easy it is to talk yourself into believing just about anything. After all, you make really good arguments.

How smart you are has nothing to do with it. If you're motivated enough to believe something that you shouldn't believe, you'll talk yourself into it. Smart people might be able to come up with an objectively better (or at least more convoluted) rationalization, but only because they'll require of themselves a better rationalization. Less-smart people won't be as capable of rationalizing, but they also won't be as discerning about the quality of the rationalization. Kind of like how people develop about the right amount of muscle to carry their own weight around, whether that be 90 or 180 lbs.

> EA appeals to exactly that kind of really-smart-person who is perfectly capable of convincing themselves that they're always right about everything.

This sounds negative until you realize this also applies to programming and litigation, chess and go, everything in academia, communism and anarcho-capitalism, etc. The fact that something appeals to know-it-alls says next to nothing about the quality of the thing. Chess isn't a worse game because it attracts insufferable braniacs and other pretentious people, it's just the community around it that suffers. But the communities around everything interesting suffer from those same sorts of people.

> And from there, you can justify all kinds of terrible things.

> Once that happens, it can easily spiral out from there. People who know perfectly well they're misbehaving will claim that they aren't, using the same arguments. It won't hold water, but now we're swamped, and the entire thing crumbles.

Once again, yes, people who want to justify terrible things can do so. It's not unique to tech bros. Fundamentalist christians, the homeless, and young activists of any alignment can do it too.

> ...in part because I know too many of the type of people who get involved and aren't trustworthy.

This is the meat; the only question that actually matters: Is it true that EA is disproportionately populated by the "untrustworthy"? If so, then there's a reason to stay away from it. This article's pair of anecdotes are worse than useless for arriving at the answer. All I know after reading it is that the TIMES is interested in taking EA down a peg. The evidence presented is utterly insufficient to support the claim that "EA has a sexual harassment problem [to an unusual--and therefor newsworthy--extent]".
Yeah, but receiving ideas non-stop isn't really "listening" to them. A more accurate description of that passive activity would be "hearing". I get that surrounding yourself by interesting ideas and conversations is a nice passive way of entertaining potentially alternative views. But there are way better setups in which to do this. The YouTube algorithm is unlikely to challenge you to the same extent of, say, organising a family dinner where the racist uncle or communist cousin are in attendance.

With perfect insulation theoretically you need to put in a lot of additional care to make sure the air in an apartment stays right (and fungi doesn't start growing, etc.).

This include some system for automatic air exchange (which also keeps the heat in and isn't prone to fungi and isn't loud/distracting and doesn't draw a lot of energy; not easy to get right at all).

Guess what basically is non existing in close to all modern apartments I have seen...

Instead they tell you you have to "appropriately" air you apartment and skipping over the fact that this might mean 3 times a day 30min no matter what temperature is outside (on dais you stay home all day).

"A persona requires misrepresentation, which is not the same as de facto anonymity."

I don't this this is correct, as a persona can accurately represent you, its just a persona. If you want to continue to be anonymous with a persona that represents you, I think differential privacy could help in this situation.
