I think they mean something like Canada's "common law marriage" as an alternative.

You never actually marry. No institutional stuff. No expensive dress to fuss over and never wear again. No huge expensive party for a lot of people that you actually don't like but have to invite. No expensive "honeymoon" vacation that has to be super special and that everyone around you wants to fuss about. No other expensive big party for all those people at 25 years married etc.

Instead you just get the same tax benefits as a married couple for having lived together for a certain amount of time. You stay together as if you were married for however long it lasts. Which in lots of cases is the same 50+ years some people stay married. Or not. No need for a paper. If you guys work out long term you work out long term. If you don't, you don't.
COVID and tuberculosis are pretty different diseases: active tuberculosis infections kill roughly half of their hosts[1].

People can believe all kinds of pigheaded and ignorant things about COVID because, in parts, they (1) either deny it exists or (2) minimize its effects. Tuberculosis denialism or minimalization aren't similarly common, to my knowledge.

Reminds me of a call I was on a few weeks ago where someone went off that Unix epoch with milliseconds wasn’t the Unix epoch. Made it a huge point that it wasn’t and would correct everyone who tried to refer to it as that. I did Google it and he technically is right. But it’s also a stupid hill to die on.
Thanks :) for the time being I find more than I need by following links on wikipedia articles. I don't think I have the patience for a careful reading of moral philosophy literature.
My rock bottom was becoming homeless in Toronto. I created a YouTube channel that I’m trying to build up to hopefully monetize and get me out of homelessness.

On the one hand we have very well validated methods of preventing transmission of HIV from mother to child, on the other we have an experimental gene modification technique attempting to use a blunt instrument to modify a gene that may reduce the chance of contracting HIV. Yes, the stunt was unnecessary, likely ineffective, and incredibly unethical.

(wiki at least also disagrees with you and said the mothers were HIV negative, so plain old in vitro fertilization would have been all that was actually needed)
They don't care, it won't matter, and sadly just works better than not employing the practice. It's particularly sad given for certain co such as Adobe it's kind of hard to not go with it. E.g their file format is part of existing bits in the pipeline. They know, and it's been their strategy for decades now.
Because mistakes would cause a lifetime of consequences and given our limited knowledge, it is impossible not to make them. When considering the possibilities of gene editing, take into account an Elephant-Man type outcome, not just the Brad Pitt type outcome (since at this point the one is more likely than the other).
> You are obviously quite wrapped around the axle here

I have a viewpoint and I am expressing it, in accordance with free speech. I'm sorry that my viewpoint make you "feel bad". I'm sorry that you had such a strong reaction to this image of the author, published in their own expression of free speech. Everyone could use a bit of self-examination, and I would suggest that some examination of why this article has led to such an emotional response in yourself is similarly worthwhile. Your personal attacks on my "narcissistic projection", "crummy upbringing" and being "wrapped around the axle" only serve to heighten the emotional stakes of the argument and are not a discussion of the relative merits of the issue.

I have no qualms about sex work and find stigmatization of such work distasteful. Nonetheless, a society in which women are being policed for their wardrobe in a professional settings and also confronted with images sourced from erotica in a professional setting is hypocritical. Many women are saying that this image is unwelcoming and that they feel it is exclusionary. Playboy is exclusionary and explicitly stated in its first issue that it was not for women, and it's very hard to argue that the Playboy centerfolds were not intended in large part to cater to a male fantasy. They are saying that an action can be taken which does no technical harm to the merits of JPEG compression technology and would have appreciable gains from an inclusionary standpoint.

Again, I'm sorry that them expressing their viewpoint is so distasteful to you and has evoked this response in you.
I already looked at everything on the home page. I also identified that the 3 phrases are names of music books and film, as well as one of the items in the guidence
Yea. Most of the media reporting on Buffett is... sloppy to put it politely. The guy lives with Astrid (and some body guards) in a 5 bed house that he sentimentally likes. He also has a couple nice houses in CA (and possibly other states) and a private jet. If someone reads any biography on him they'd know this. (IIRC it also came up when he was advising Gov Arnold on re-doing real estate taxes and he wrote some OP-eds.)

What's more surprising to me is how well he's doing (physically and cognitively) in his 90's as someone who eats at McDonalds every single day and I think is largely sedentary. The other side of the coin is his dad barely made it to 60 though his mom died in her 90's.
The problem here is the reliance upon environment variables being set by parent processes. That's always felt weird to me.

I think tmux's choice is actually the sane one. You create the server once, then there's no more question about what environment variables are going to be established in the future.

When you create a new tmux window, you should know if there's already a server spawned.
yes I got access and tried it once and found it completely boring compared to ChatGPT. I uninstalled edge.

maybe if they bring the personality back I'll become interested again... maybe.
Can you please elaborate what does it mean to be the same as phones? I guess you meant the sandbox env?
You don't have to be a magician to make a doomsday weapon.

In fact, he likely did not make it. He just possesed enough knowledge to imagine such a weapon possible in theory.

There's a reason why I said knowledge about a weapon.
Not all of the Alcan is bad, but it's worse the further north you get. Alaskan roads are generally not built to Interstate standards, mostly being two-lane undivided highways. In general the US side is probably marginally better but neither side stands out as being particularly good; road maintenance at those latitudes is challenging.
Do you have some airports where those features are mapped? Then I can improve on that. :-)
I had the exact same thought. Prior to the pandemic, I would have agreed with OP. After the pandemic? Well, maybe “mentally disabled or otherwise incapable of understanding” is a good description of a huge percentage of the population.
In a country whose Supreme Court considers the expenditure of money for political campaigns "free speech"? It'd appear so.

Either it's the writer's speech, or it's that of whoever is paying for it.
Any examples? The only one I've encountered in the last few years is editing .net core WinForms UIs with the visual editor. In every other use case of mine, Rider has outclassed Visual Studio.
her active, contagious case of tuberculosis

Yeah, the title does not do enough justice
It’s pretty terrible that they even allow public access to these gateways, let alone default to it. At a very bare minimum some sort of origin header checks should be done. Who in their right mind would want to pay an exorbitant rate to put a frontend-specific JSON-RPC API out on the public internet to be abused for free by other sites?
Nope, older folks can’t make it—period. Not even sitting in a bikini at noon at the equator. We lose the ability as we age.
FWIW I know two people who did know him, and spent a lot of time with him — Ursula LeGuin (RIP) and my old lit prof at PSU, Tony Wolk. They both reported him to be warm, humane, erratic, brilliant, fascinating and rewarding to be around.
I was in a situation many years back that was similar in feeling but varied in circumstance. The sense of loss, worthlessness, lack of control, lack of agency, stress and isolation is an incredibly potent mix. I'm sorry you're dealing with all of them at once. It is overwhelming.

My own emotional lows are cyclical and I've had to bounce back several times. At different stages in life my approach to doing so has varied wildly. The approach you need will depend on your history and what you believe about yourself. Right now it's the narrative about yourself that your mind has constructed which you need to address.

Do you believe that you are weak and passive? That life is happening to you, rather than you manifesting it? Then prove to yourself that you are bold, capable and effective. Maybe you aren't yet and need to become so. Don't listen to people telling you that you are already what you feel is lacking. They are comfort words which deny that growth is possible. Prove it to yourself and you will know it forever after.

Choose something that scares you immensely and do it. For me it was heights, mortality and risk: so I began skydiving. For you perhaps rock climbing is more fitting. If you've hit rock bottom, learn to climb the rocks. It will require patience, fortitude, mindfulness, awareness of your body and movement, coping with fear, and deliberate action.

You won't feel passionate about this and may avoid it. You may not even like it. Forget what you like and earn it. Passion will develop alongside progress, and progress will be slow. From your point of view the ascent will look like your PhD. You'll end up taking paths you didn't intend, as if the rock is guiding you. Are you being passive? Will you second guess yourself? Your choice is to use your position to advance yourself or give up.

Look back at your progress and see how far you've come. You'll have a new perspective on what felt boring and gradual up-close. Which is more terrifying: the slow climb ahead or the descent? If you give up, will you do it slowly with shame or allow yourself to fall? What does rock bottom look like when you see how far beneath you it truly is?

As your passion and competence grows you may have daydreams of setting aside your PhD. You'll want to take a sabbatical to climb. I encourage you to do this if it feels right and necessary. I encourage not to if it feels like an excuse, and to focus on the metaphor.

You will develop the confidence and fortitude you currently lack. You will regain your lust for life when it hangs in the balance. You will make friends you never knew you wanted. You will forever know what you are capable of.
I didn't find anything with the-rule url or logo color, I suspect they indicate the hyperlinks
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Typhoid Mary so far!
Strange, what was the difference, link has been the exact same and it is the same link Google provided. Regardless, you made claim without any explanation to which both I and another user have requested clarification on why the technology you recommended is relevant.
How is the link down given that Fly.io is an cloud/edge hosting service?
One of the major issues that Kotlin faces is that it’s hard for them to change the VM to provide a feature they want while Java and the OpenJDK developers have the freedom to either change the VM or the language to provide something.
JavaScriptCore: Inline Proxy Set Trap in DFG / FTL
For now. But how about 5 years from now? or 10? or 15?

Given what things looked 10 years ago, and what was revolutionary back then (ImageNet challenge) - it's hard to comprehend what state of the art will look like 10 years from now.
Strikes me as an industry run mostly be ad hoc rules and this-is-how-it-has-always-been-done. Which, for a historical product that people enjoy is a fair enough stance. Especially if it takes four years (!!!) before you see the outcome of an experiment.

I have no doubt they employ plenty of food scientists and specialized analytical techniques to monitor the product, but at the end of the day, making a change has got to be scary.
I can see how that approach would be attractive, since it is more convenient. But there is a cultural significance to ritual that makes life events more meaningful, and hence, more durable. If you don't treat it as a life-ling treatment, there is less of a chance you will treat it as such for 50 years.
There's probably some of that. But this also reminds me of SSC's Against Against Pseudoaddiction[0]. Seems like some people really really want to be able to say, oooh I caught me a drug addict, nice try you lousy addict!

I think this is a great use case. From my experience, having everything in one language is a huge plus. You can pull data from the database and just inject it into the view. The closest I've gotten to this in the JS/TS world is a Prisma + tRPC + SvelteKit for E2E type safety, but there's a huge cost in complexity and language server performance and some extra boilerplate.

The main limitation is likely offline apps, LiveView requires a persistent connect to the server. I doubt this is something you'll encounter for your use case.
Not having an iPhone as a kid when all your friends do is actually super isolating. You won’t be invited to group chats since they’ll be broken by having a non iPhone. No FaceTime which my kids spend no less than an hour a day on socializing. Even normal texting between iPhone and android is completely kneecapped by apple.
Depends what society you talk about too.

Marriage isn’t integral to all societies, so much as monogamous partnership is (excluding some rare poly societies).

You also don’t need marriage to procreate , and several societies are built around the concept of children raised by the community.

That said, marriage is certainly the most persistent form of long term bond in history, but it’s not always borne out of mutual desire. It’s often been as much a means of politics as it has been of love.
For anyone wondering what this article doesn't really tell:

Baudoinia compniacensis is a sac fungus which has been observed on a variety of substrates in the vicinity of distilleries, spirits maturation facilities, bonded warehouses, and bakeries. The fungus is a habitat colonist with a preference for airborne alcohol, earning it the nickname whiskey fungus.[1]

There's photos on that wiki article of other distilleries in Kentucky and Scotland with the same issue, interestingly.

Hard disagree. People using Bing are the customers.
I empathize with this on a personal safety level, but all available evidence about this person indicates that they're just mentally ill. They're not part of a community of tuberculosis truthers or something like that; they're someone infected with a very deadly disease and will likely die if they aren't forcefully given treatment.
I'm not talking about some kind of organized, premeditated, high-cost vigilante operation like making people fall out of windows (I'm assuming that's what you meant by "falling down" scenario?).

I'm talking about the repo goon having to risk that the car leasee he's repossessing from being at their breaking point (because that car is the only way they can keep their job and avoid losing everything) and/or mentally unstable and pulling out a gun or a crowbar and thus pricing this risk into their services (or outright declining the job if it feels too sketchy) which ultimately trickles back up to the lender and encourage them to let go or be more lenient with this particular case (something they'd have no reason to do if they could turn the car off remotely).
Sounds like Kotlin and other JVM languages need greater representation in OpenJDK then, if that would be possible.
Are you agreeing here or are you arguing that because humans have shown a lack of restraint in the past they should continue to show a lack of restraint?
Very much this.

Many of my friends in Southern California lament that they'll never be able to buy a home because in their minds houses _start_ at $750k. I bought a house for roughly one-third of that in a place that none of them would be caught dead so much as visiting. It's almost as though areas that are nice to live in are consequently in high demand which drives property values up... obviously NIMBYism, Prop 13, and a host of perverse incentives are also at play here but it doesn't change the fact that you gotta pay to play.

If anybody's interested I just found this handy map [1] that illustrates precisely what I'm talking about, and since it's adjusted for income it paints a decent picture of why things are the way that they are.

Fossil fuels are quite finite.
But also the places people want/need to live are generally not building housing. The town next to mine has actually lost population since the year 2000 despite being in a very attractive location. Incidentally, most of the town is zoned exclusively for single family houses despite there being lots of duplexes there already. You can probably see how these two things might be related. :)
In this case, fire will release toxic hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide and trace levels of phosgene, besides the usual carbon dioxide.[0]

Large spills of vinyl chloride have been deliberately burned in the past, as the byproducts of burning are judged less hazardous than vinyl chloride itself.

To me, this behaviour makes perfect sense and fits well with my intuition or mental model of how things work.

Thanks anyway for a good write up
It's easy with hindsight, but there must have been people back then who foresaw that power-of-two machine words are almost as necessity as you scale up (8 -> 16 -> 32 -> 64 bits).
You're welcome. The Bosch Project has ultra high res scans of all HB's collected works. I'd love to find documentation of the author's scanning process. The web interface shows what I'm guessing are multispectral versions of some scans but it could also be post processing of the visible light version.
As I said, I don't think fascism is really even possible today, what people call "fascist" doesn't at all resemble the regimes of the 30s and 40s. Its as if people think that the far-right is perpetuating violence at a scale different from the center. It doesn't matter who is "in charge", the state has become invested primarily in creating a vast architecture of surveillance and control which cannot be legally challenged because the state, whether or not they claim it, acts with sovereign immunity, since we only ever got rid of the king, not the apparatus which supports him.

It would be better to say that our current form of government (around the world) is a like a more advanced form of fascism, its worse than fascism and its a more severe form of domination that is so subtle that most people can't see it, and if they were shown how they were being kept under control, they would try to forget as soon as possible. The fact that so many on the far-right are coming to power is predictable: one form of identity politics begets another. But it does not actually indicate a change to the status quo to me. Remember, the capitol rioters only wanted to keep things the same.
I had a C64 in Iran when I was 12. After a few years, a column of keys on the keyboard stopped working. So, every time I turned it back on, my first task was to remap some critical keys to the function row keys.

This is not actually a test meant to be used on LLMs as the title implies. For one thing, any such test is tainted once it's published because it will end up in the training data. The title seems misleading. This is a thought experiment.

Presenting the thought experiment to the model is not the same thing as "performing the experiment".

In the experiment, the "octopus" has never seen English until it finds the telegraph.

GPT on the other hand is already extensively trained on a huge amount of data which likely includes the thought experiment anyway.

> Philip K. Dick's untimely death by stroke likely robbed the world of a least a few more great works.

He had lymphatic cancer, and had fallen for the Laetrile scam (traveling to Mexico for “treatment”) so the stroke did him a favor. As with the cancer he initially refused treatment.

This was over 10 years ago. Not only is my memory fuzzy I would imagine (hope) it's gotten significantly better since then.

Per usual for these kinds of things what you're really paying for is the name and "trust" associated with it.

In the grand scheme of things when you're raising tens of millions - billions of dollars the cost of these tools in terms of total services across due diligence is nothing. Additionally, tools like this are selected by the investor and you don't really have much say in the matter.

Basically, you use "expensive" $SOLUTION the investor prefers, check the box, and move on to the hundreds/thousands of other due diligence items in the transaction.

Where it gets really interesting (to me) are cases with super aggressive investors like Tiger Global and anything in bubble (crypto) where close times are days and almost no due diligence is performed.

As one example I doubt anyone used these kinds of tools at FTX...

They went to the same place that the activists who were protesting Big Pharma went in the last few years. Clearly on some kind of vacation.

Marriage isn’t really a solution to any of the problems you state.

Divorce is a very real outcome of marriage, as are prenups.

Many countries also have rules around care for a previous partner by means of common law partnership etc…

Married people often don’t work towards the same goals anymore than unmarried couples.

Marriage can also be a form of entrapment for abused individuals, a means for political gain or forced on people. Even in countries that don’t think those issues are common like the USA where child marriage is more common than people think.

Imho you have a very idealized perception of marriage that doesn’t line up with the various shades of grey in reality.

Marriage can be a societal contract and/or it can be a vow of love. The former is archaic

Does this town exist because of the distillery? Might be a very hard thing to deal with if the adversarial party is also the core of their economy.
The twelve occurrences of "we" in your comment imply agency and consent where little to none existed.

"We", which is to say a majority of residents and citizens of the US, constituting the working class, had these things imposed on us by others who have systematically and successfully manufactured the appearance of consent over a period of decades, the ongoing results being consistently undermining the working class and incepting a kind of learned helplessness that justice can never be found.

The "cult of the MBA" is apt, although a more appropriate appellation might be the "cult of Mammon".
