Um the paragraph you appear to have interpreted as "how hard you are" was a response to my tolerance to travel to somewhere in Mexico (re: It was palatable enough for you to travel to Mexico.) I'm utterly baffled you took that as a reply to something else, but I'm pretty sure in any case that characterization was bad faith. The whole point was not that I find it "palatable" but that I'm willing to travel to unpalatable places.

In any case, you're telling me I "need" this or that to disagree with a mere opinion about "palate", which is just insane. An opinion cannot be proved, I think you know this, and I don't see you offering some kind of poll that samples tourists about who they'd rather be robbed by or whatever you may be looking for either so I will disengage now.

- It won't discard background tabs with: Active Audio/Video, Screen Share, Page Notification, Active Downloads, partially filled forms, or connected devices.

- It can be disabled via chrome://settings/performance

- Installing browser updates, like 110, may lose tab state anyway.

The only potential "sin" they made here is enabled by default.

However, users also dislike being prompted with new choices when an update installs. They want updates to be "invisible."

It also seems like the first time it discards a background tab, it does warn you that this can be turned off in Settings, which is maybe a fair middle ground.
This is one of his essays I vehemently disagree with, and think has hurt Silicon Valley. The idea that ideas and idea people are worthless has had a cascading effect of putting non idea people in idea people seats, or locking out a class of people from participating unless they have some other engineering or marketing or leadership skill. Apple would never have become without Steve Jobs being able to see what was and wasn’t a good idea.

An idea person doesn’t just have one good idea, and maybe one idea alone is worthless. Good ideas include good taste for scope, what is and isn’t needed for success.

Having an idea and handing it off to a startup is very different from having an idea and supervising it, keeping it on the rails. It’s almost crazy to me that an idea is worthless, but an entire startup without an idea is seen as potential.

As far as the AI floodgates, the world changed almost overnight, and we are just going to have to adapt to everyone having a calculator in their pocket, and that being good at using it is a more important skill than arithmetic. I’m not sure I’ve seen a technology adaption go from 0 to whatever percent we are at quite like this. It’s barrier to entry is so low, free to use, easy to use, easy to plug into old workflows, and somewhat undetectable by those not in the know. It would be wise to accept this new reality and start valuing prompt and editing skills instead of dismissing what part people “aren’t doing on their own.”

The Church runs many institutions of higher ed, including one that is open globally over the internet with vastly cheaper tuition depending on the student's country's economy (also accredited), as well as extensive humanitarian aid and other ongoing construction projects, building maintenance, publishing, etc that continually consume $. They want to be able to sustain those operations by saving for "a rainy day", which they also counsel others to do.

Ironically, when I saw the headline I thought to myself "what's with this conspiracy with people constantly trying to push this narrative that people should reject morning stuff", and then the top comment is complaining about a "conspiracy to make people wake up early".

From an evolutionary perspective I guess you can try to argue that in the past there was some benefit to some people being on a shifted schedule so they can stay awake to keep watch at night, but I feel like overwhelmingly throughout human history people mostly just naturally woke up when the sun rose and anyone that stayed at camp sleeping in, not helping with duties, was very looked down upon by the rest of the group.
I just don't get it. To me "ideological capture" would imply no alternative in the market, basically there is an inefficiency which is explained and maintained by ideology. And yet, this entire anecdote about the Hallmark channel is about how a guy quit from working there and founded an alternative channel to exploit the inefficiency, and apparently is succeeding!

As someone who's visited, this is a confusing comment to me.

I think of that as being the entire point of the city. It's a deliberate contrast to places like NYC, Tokyo, London.

A place where you can have a big old lot, a store that's half empty, a car collection. Cause there's so much land kicking about. Too bad it became expensive anyway, I guess.
A couple months ago I watched an amateur train nerd on youtube cover a derailment that dumped a load of bitumin/tar into a river and destroyed a bridge. This kind of thing happens pretty commonly. No national news covered it, only a couple of local news stations, at least from what I could find on youtube/googling.

It's confusing to me why this specific incident got so much attention.
Not even by accident, given that Shakespeare's in the training dataset.

I'm a self-confessed Thinkpad fanboi so very happy to contribute my story. I bought the laptop I am typing on now (P51s) on eBay 4 years ago for ~£600 with a couple of years of warranty remaining. During a covid lockdown it developed a motherboard fault and they sent someone out the next day to my house to fix it onsite.
With Apple I was always told to take it to a service centre. I mean, that's what I signed up for I guess, but the damn thing cost me £2000. I think there is not enough emphasis on the price differentials in these conversations. In fact, my repair story is kind of irrelevant to my point which is that for me the availability, cost and repairability(?) of these machines is key. I have an IT cabinet with spare parts, PSUs, clonky docking stations, and have managed to get most of my family onto Thinkpads so we have a pretty robust setup whereby if somebody has a problem we can probably sort it within an hour or two, either with a replacement part or a replacement machine. I am a bit envious of recent Apple silicon for battery life but stubbornly sticking with my old Thinkpads for now!

Honestly, my favorite moment has nothing to do with the thesis of the video: it is when she says "zero-shot chain of thought" and stops talking for a moment to comment about how that rhymes, as it definitely only rhymes because of her accent; but I'm really into linguistics and, in particular, phonology, so, for me, that kind of moment is magical.

But like, the point is: if you watch that video and replace the idea of you talking to ChatGPT with talking to one of your coworkers, this is a totally legitimate video someone would make. You can't quite just use a book of brainstorming ideas, though, with ChatGPT, as it has some fundamental limitations to how it understands certain kinds of concepts or language, and so seeing "oh that path worked well" is practically useful.

I get what you're trying to say but this comment made it seem like Fidelity (or Fidelity Charitable) was somehow funneling money to those organizations. To clarify for others reading: that's not the case. Fidelity's customers are using Donor Advised Funds because they're an efficient way to tax plan around charitable donations and those same customers are choosing where the funds go (hence: Donor Advised) and they're choosing Harvard, Stanford, and LDS.

"Wheel off track" is a derailment. Doesn't have to mean a huge wreck and pile-up. Can happen at low speeds. The vast majority aren't that big a deal.

(my dad ended his career in middle-management with a railroad—not Norfolk, but for all I know Norfolk owns the one he worked for now, there was a lot of consolidation—and for a few years he had to travel to derailments in his region, when they happened, and derailments happened somewhat often)
It's not really fine. Since the admins are asleep at the wheel now, people are pushing the envelope with it (like uploading entire copyrighted works as one long thread). As well as unsavory content staying on the platform and not even being reported or taken down. (That's if the reporting feature even works, in my case it just hangs!).

Alongside this, there are numerable glitches in the app like for example basic functionality like following someone was entirely broken. Then there are issues with their CDN. Videos & Images not loading even when my connection is fine. It needs a lot of work.
Matplotlib and SQL and GPT-3 == Tableau replacement?
Right, I agree. But they didn't hide millions from taxes. They availed themselves of more privacy than the SEC allows for fund managers. If we can articulate the manner in which that inflicted more than 5MM in harm, I think we have a strong case for the fine being too low. But I have no intuition for how to work out the harm these bad filings caused. Do you?

As for deterrence: it appears as if the SEC successfully deterred Ensign Peak from doing this, right? They hadn't filed properly since 1997, but the enforcement action is just a couple years old.

It seems you don't read and are the one that is fucking obtuse. Your link says 25% (not a larger percentage) agree with some "central tenets" of QAnon (as do 16% of the population as a whole), the central tenets that is mentioned in the article being a pedophile ring in the government, which to be quite honest is not that far fetched considered the whole Epstein ordeal, so not surprising to see these stats.

It's easy to see why such a large portion agree with that CENTRAL TENET (capitalizing so you can read it when you skim this).

If you actually go into the study you might even see that compared to the 25% of republicans, 14% of independents and 9% of Democrats are also QAnon believers. So to say that it's solely a Republican issue is disingenuous no matter how the media paints it (even the article you linked over exaggerating its source).

Don't be so fucking obtuse and learn to read past headlines

This can be easily said about spirituality as well. Anecdotally, I've met far more people with higher density narcissistic traits who cover their behavior with beliefs, enlightenment, and morality than I have of those with trippers. Unlike you, I don't think spirituality is a poison pill as a result. Instead I think of it as something that must be constantly measured, dosed, and negotiated with depending on the outcomes for a particular person. This is similar to how I think of psychedelics.
Two things to consider: it seems reasonable for any organization - including a non-profit - to save some for a rainy day, and anything that doesn't get used immediately and doesn't get invested loses value just by sitting there (due to inflation).

IMO neither of those is enough to warrant a blanket "sure, why not?" answer to your first question and for there not to be any restrictions at all, but off the cuff it doesn't seem terrible.

As to your 2nd question: assuming you live in the U.S., it follows the laws of diminishing returns. It might be worth it to sit down with a non-sleazy tax adviser one time (and again each time you have a major life event) to make sure you're not missing anything big and/or easy, but pursuing every possible honest deduction is exhausting and time-consuming and so you eventually reach a point where chasing that next deduction is not worth your time.

I was increasingly frustrated with all the NLPness and operator deprication in google which has been accelerating since at least the 2010s.

But with Kagi it reallys makes me feel like I am back at the wheel. I think for product search it still has some way to go but for technical queries it is just on a whole other level of SNR and actually respects my query keywords.

Your conversion doesn't address determining the length of the output.
Another conversion avoids that issue, by converting a polynomial time function f into the language

L_f = { (x,y): f(x) < y},

where < compares strings lexicographically "" < "0" < "1" < "00" ...

Given a decider for L_f and an input x it's easy to determine |f(x)| and next f(x) by binary search.

Back in the 80's in the U.S. there was a men's movement spearheaded by Robert Bly

Bly argued in his 1990 book, Iron John: A Book About Men, that society causes men to be disconnected from their feelings, and he knew he could rub people the wrong way. "I do remember people wanting to kill me, but that's not unusual," he said in 2010.

https://www.npr.org/2021/11/22/508600340/poet-robert-bly-ant...

There's also The Promise Keepers if that's your cup of tea.

I tried several men's movements at the time but realized I'm more of loner and not a joiner, so the problem was with me, not the men's movements and I've come to accept that about myself.

Not to take a side, because you're right that there are a lot of ways people exploit this, but there are reasons why a charity may legitimately want to invest.

> Investing, on the other hand, seems like the opposite of "non-profit"

There's two ways to look at this. You can consider investing in the capitalist sense where you're trying to make money and profit, and maybe the managers exploit the system, but you can consider it in a different perspective: wealth preservation and time-deferral of resources to reduce economic dependency of donations.

For example, universities often have large endowments. Universities take in small streams of money which may fluctuate with the economy and occasional massive donations, and then once a decade build a very expensive building. They probably want to protect the monies in that constant stream from inflation and economic cycles until they need to build a new building. Beyond time-deferral of resources, sometimes universities (or alum) establish a fund that should pay out continuously for eg. scholarships. By donating $1M, you can provide a 50k payout (5%) to a student, forever, and see modest growth of the fund above that (eg. ~2%) to cover inflation. This ensures that a one-time act of charity can last more than a few years.

> I've recently been introduced to a few folks who seem to be doing extraordinarily well financially. It turns out that they all run "non-profits.

Yea, maybe we need to consider the exploitation of non-profit exemptions and how it can be "self serving". But consider an alternative story: rich parents give their kids a lot of money, so they don't need to work to pay bills. This frees them to work low-pay charitable jobs because they have a separate trust fund to cover cost of living.
> Should non-profits be allowed to "invest" their tax-exempt donations?

Almost definitely yes because so many uses of funds are also investments. Ex: a church buys valuable real estate to use as their main site of worship.

However maybe the returns on investment should not be tax-exempt in perpetuity!
>I learned my lesson though, me wanting to be right/winning the argument was an attempt to dominate the other person.

This isnt a Rorschach test.

Per a handy diagram in MacWorld's review[1] of the original release of Myriad as one of the first multiple-master[2] Type 1 fonts, "MyriadMM_565_600_" is a semibold, regular-width instance.

Myriad Pro Semibold and Myriad Variable Concept Semibold should both be very close matches.

Myriad Variable Concept is bundled with the current version of Adobe Illustrator (and possibly with other Adobe apps not currently installed on my system); Myriad Pro was bundled with most (all?) versions of the pre-cloud Adobe Creative Suite, and has the benefit of being a traditional, non-variable OpenType font that should work pretty much everywhere.

This suggests an interesting question: are tools available to faithfully convert multiple-master Type 1 fonts to variable OpenType format?

"Caecilia-Heavy" is PMN Caecilia 85 Heavy; Caecilia LT Std 85 Heavy, a currently-available OpenType font, is presumably a close match.

Both Myriad Pro and Caecilia LT Std 85 Heavy are included in Adobe Font Folio 11 and, um, maybe available for activation via Creative Cloud, but this is not immediately clear from Adobe's Web site, and I'm having problems launching the damn CC app to check.

Of the many Adobe products I happened to have licensed before discontinuation in favor of a subscription-only replacement, Font Folio is probably my favorite. And, unlike older Adobe applications, it's still 100% compatible with every modern OS, and likely to remain so in perpetuity.

Or at least until OpenType is deprecated in favor of some dystopian online-only replacement…
