Do you know of anything remotely near that kind of problem in practice? Paperclip maximiser problems seem to me like fantasy at this point. I don't think we're anywhere near close enough to that problem to sensibly work on avoiding it; I think it's a bit like trying to work on the problem of lunar city overcrowding.
For sure. The issue is the zillion variables in headphone mechanicals and transducers. Eventually someone will be making mems transducers in relatively cheap - acoustically inert - form factors and you'll just dial in your sound.

It's close with using hybrid anc but still too many variables to claim no sonic difference.
Plan probably is around a hosted apps model where apps can be embedded in iframes or similar. Vercel to fly, everyone is basically selling a flavour of Heroku with a desirable outcome of lower maintenance overhead.

But yes, it is a tradeoff and the abstractions underneath are leaky. It is not just React but NextJS and then the whole NodeJS ecosystem which is surely one of the most challenging ones.

That client/web part could have been tackled by writing a micro library in pure JS with no transpilers of any sort - and probably they might do it in future not sure how, but something like Brython[0] could be interesting.

You keep mentioning Rorsach tests as some kind of gold standard. Rorsach tests are purely based on pseudo-science, though. There is zero empiric / scientific evidence that they do anything useful. So yeah, tarot cards are probably on about the same level as that.

This is one reason I really like Hey[0]. Putting aside your feelings for 37signals, the service itself is great for putting an end to this dumb marketing spam. Nothing is allowed into my inbox until I explicitly allow it.

There are a few companies that send marketing mail from their root domain (where I would also get password-resets, etc) so I cannot as easily block them, but then I tend to block the sender directly. That's one benefit of companies adopting a "people first persona"; the marketing emails all come from "Mary" or "Jonas" @ company.com. Blocked!

But those anti-health state governments are, at least, limited to their respective states. Which also makes it possible for people to seek abortion and other related procedures across state borders (I know there were some attempts to ban it, too, but none of them became law so far, and in any case this is very difficult to enforce), where the infrastructure remains.

In a scenario where the anti-abortion party takes control of the executive that is running Canada-style single-payer healthcare on the federal level, I could see them 1) defining abortion as "core service" rather than supplemental so that private providers can't offer it outside the system, and then 2) setting harsh term limits and other barriers like doctor approval to make it effectively banned in practice.

(Fetal personhood is another backdoor that can take this even further.)

what is your definition of "progress"
For the context, though, the article states that there is only one route with an average stopping distance of 42 metres and that the the next shortest average distance is twice that (83) and the next again (third shortest) ~4x that (152 m);

and

that these routes are "stop on demand" - not stopping every 40m, just potentially if someone waves from a stop or rings the bell.

No you're wrong, even if I was angry at them I would still be amazed by the work they did.
It's really interesting how the task of heating a home (and providing hot water) is solved so radically differently in different parts of the world. Some areas seem to use only wall-mounted air-air pumps, and gas burning boilers for hot water, some times even without hot water storage i.e. direct burning (Something I have never seen in North Europe). I use a combined heat pump with hot water heater/tank. The whole thing is about the size of a regular closet and the heat pump has no outside unit. It uses only the heat in the return air leaving the house. So basically it handles ventilation, and cools the air being vented out, re-using it for heat. These cost $5-10k and last 15-20years. This to me is a pretty reasonable cost given they do all ventilation, space heating and hot water production in one. And there are no pressurized lines anywhere because it's a single self-contained unit without an outside part.

Yeah fair, I didn't think about that as our "request stops" are usually further out of the city centre (where they're actually further apart) and trams, trolleys and buses tend to stop at every stop closer into the city.
I imagine adding a guarantee that none of the profits go to kanye should probably be enough to diffuse that.
but 40% of import is. I live in KZ and in a recent talk my fellow Russian expats mentioned this topic. I checked what items in my rented apartment are made in Russia. Except clothes, shoes and computer devices and furniture, which is produced locally, everything in the kitchen is from Russia: tea, porriges, tools (like plastic funnel, which is even from Moscow!), even a can of salt is from there. Just 2-3 were not from RU.

For example, IKEA stores in Russia ordered furniture by their designs from local makers. This was imported in KZ. Now they're gone, and IKEA items are either brought from Turkey, or the Russian factories started making something roughly similar, but it's not branded/quality controlled.

Some imports (from China or even Turkey) went via Russian logistics as well, and only the last year started to be re-routed.

It is disingenuous, at best, to equate collapse to "going back to the cave age". If your house's roof collapses you do not end up in a cave. You either pay a small fortune to have it fixed or, if you lack the wealth to do so, sell it at a loss to someone who can.

Tech/IT is too valuable to be ditched altogether, so we are not going back even to the 80s or 90s. But collapse is appropriate for the kind of lean times ahead: companies getting bought on the cheap, investments evaporating, projects shelved, jobs (or even careers) lost.
> Yes. You literally said all the data would be stored somewhere else.

Meta data (ownership data) is stored on-chain. (supplemental data is stored off-chain) So again, no I did not say that all data is stored somewhere else. The meta data that is stored on-chain serves an important role.

> If this is no different than any other system, then it has no benefits of any other system.

We are talking about the enforceability. Governments can choose to embrace a blockchain as their system of record. If they do, then NFT deeds are as enforceable as traditional property deeds.

> Who makes your fantasy tokens referring to physical objects enforceable? Oh right. No one.

The government would in this particular case. Maybe in other cases it would be a company and in still other cases it could be an on-chain contract.

These two things are intrinsically tied in practice. The utopia where well cared for animals feed 8 billion people does not exist, and cannot exist without many more earths.

Try going vegan for say... a year. Make it a fun game. You get to try out some new foods and restaurants! You can always start eating meat again if you decide you want to take part in the stuff you saw watching Dominion.

You don't even have to give up pedantic moral discussions and infighting (i.e. the distinction between "fucked up" and "immoral"). Those are deeply entrenched traditions in the vegan community!
> your yield, even when rates are high, is going to be roughly zero and you’re going out of business anyway

Yes.. any other car manufacturer I know of (likely not complete) is considering also Lidar sensors... they are still pricey and huge, but there are also MEMS-like improvements (likely incorrect terminology) and also costs get continously lower.

At the same time advancements also happen at the multi-model side, not fusing different deep learning outputs afterwards but right in the one model (not judging if that is a good idea... but the steps taking currently seem to get bigger and better).

Lastly, also camera has degraded performance under certain weather conditions.. some even say our eyes can be prone to that! :D

So that's just all the challenges that need to be taken. Yes, humans can drive with their eyes only, but is that perfect? Sometimes we e.g. would also benefit greatly from radar/lidar, as e.g. in dark conditions our judgement of distances is really flawed.

Refresh rate of some of this already aged car lidars was like 10 Hz, good enough I'd say? And it is truly amazing what details one can get out of those when getting close and move around in those point clouds.
A couple of companies like boxt did it in the UK with gas boilers. The appeal is a fixed price quote online, next day installation by a qualified plumber and not having to spin the roulette wheel of trying to call plumbers, negotiate a "fair" price and not have the customer support if things go wrong.

Can you get a cheaper install with another plumber? Not necessarily! boxt have massive volume discounts with boiler manufacturers and presumably keep the installation charge reasonable but the plumber gets steady work and doesn't have to manage their client list so it does work pretty well.
Revisiting Vernor Vinge’s “predictions” for 2025
Is that definitely the case? When I tried to ask it about the SVB incident, it first claimed I was mistaken and that nothing out of the ordinary was happening. When I persisted, it said it checked news sites to find more information since its latest data was from 2021 (though it claimed _not_ to find anything signaling SVB was in trouble, so I am not sure if it "lied" or just wasn't effective). When I linked to a specific news article describing the issue, ChatGPT responded in a way that made it clear it accessed the article and parsed its content.
You can't know about a bank run beforehand. It dies when it dies, it's kind of a surprise that way.

(Being insolvent isn't actually enough to kill a bank as long as the run doesn't start. Of course, here the bank dies when the regulator decides it dies anyway.)
The analogy is closer to being: the state will prosecute the murder victim's family for failing to properly protect them AND won't be able to locate or punish the true murderer. So in this situation, what's the family going to do? Mourn in private and not report the crime, maybe try for vigilante justice if they think they've identified the murderer.

Why direct-to-homeowner? Your product requires installation by a licensed professional, it doesn’t make sense to sell it without the installation. And I don’t see any major benefits to you, the customer, or the contractor by doing it this way.

>do you want to know how to get malware?

There are a million other ways you can get malware, including via Gnome extensions. Do you think all the Linux tutorials online that involve the user cURL-ing or wget-ing something and running it as sudo are 100% safe? Then you should not use a PC or an internet connected devices if that's your threat model and do poweruser things without understating fully the risk of what you're doing with sudo/admin privs.

Regarding malware on windows apps, that might have been the case during the days of Windows XP but chances of niche Windows apps infecting you is infinitely small these days as windows anti malware is excelent at protection and malware actors have bigger fish to fry like email phishing or targeting mainstream apps that get millions of clicks like VLC or OBS form scummy Google-Ads , not some niche apps that disable the touchpad and get 5 downloads a year.

And yes I agree and that's my issue here. Basic settings like turning off the touchpad when an external mouse is plugged in should be a OS provided setting, not be poweruser setting/feature needing workarounds and external downloads with sudo/admin that open attack surfaces on your OS.

>i dont see missing widgets in open source settings panels as the problem since you could easily compile a better settings panel for yourself

The thing is, I don't want to compile anything for my OS. I used to, as a tinkerer/student, but now as a grumpy grown-up with responsibilities, I have work to do and my free time is precious and want to use it for other hobbies.

The OS for me is a tool, not a tinkering hobby project, and needs to do what I need it to do the easy way not the hard way, and I'm willing to pay for it if paid solutions exist.

I'm sorry if my POV clashes with the FOSS philosophy.

looking at the code that seems to be the id of the website not of the user. You might have multiple websites on one instance of Counter and you just need to let the server know on which one to record the view.

IIRC, GDPR doesn't really care about cookies, but about storing information on the user's machine. sessionStorage would still fall under this classification. So it doesn't really matter if they are different or not.

That said, it does seem like Counter does not use user ids.

>Technology is one of the best indicators of power, progress, societal dynamism and hope for the future.

Do you think people in Europe don't get to use American technology, and vice versa? In a globalized world, it doesn't matter much where something is invented. Very few things are banned for export (mainly weapons and other military things).

>there isn't a war in the US and the US didn't lose a member like europe did with brexit.

Way to contradict yourself. First you imply that a country is in Europe if it's there geographically speaking, but the very next moment you imply that a country isn't part of Europe if it leaves the EU. Which one is it? Ukraine and Russia have never been in the EU, and the UK is still in Europe geographically.

>Is that what we are talking about? Trading stocks internationally?

What are you exactly talking about then? You seem to imply that American tech companies are only serving the interest of the US.

>Man, there are quite a few people here really hoping europe stays weak and stagnant - especially technology-wise. Wonder why.

Let me tell you why you might think that: Europe and the US are very different in many aspects. Sure, the collective wealth and might the US have is more than that of Europe, but the quality of life on average is arguably better in Europe. While nobody in Europe hopes that Europe "stays weak and stagnant", it is true that not many in Europe want to live in a country like the US, where legislation is pro-corporation at the expense of the people; the national budget is spent on military to protect the country's super power status while people don't have access to universal health care nor high quality public education; and where the government is in a constant grid lock due to radical polarization. It's a trade off most people are happy to make.

Could you maybe assist me in finding the configuration/a free GUI utility for doing what I mentioned in my previous comment?
