I’m happy for you that you have been served so well. However that is not the case for everyone, and your dismissal of others’ experience is so strong and condescending to the point that you sound like a real jerk. Other people report a lot of problems with their healthcare. You should listen to them, as they have very little incentive to lie.
The idea that Russia is looking to conquer all of Ukraine and more is simply war propaganda.

They probably never wanted to permanently hold all of the territory (especially not predominantly Ukrainian-speaking regions in the west).

But it definitely was their stated objective from the very beginning to decapitate the country's current leadership, and install a permanently "friendly" (to Russia) government in its place. Not to simply grab the 4 regions in the east -- which they've still not been able to fully take a hold of, despite explicitly claiming to "annex" them.

The idea that the disastrous initial attempt to encircle Kyiv (and the failed attempt to take Odesa) was some kind of brilliantly executed feint to obscure their "true" current (and ever-shrinking) objectives - that, I'm afraid, it simply "war propaganda".

It makes no geopolitical sense for them to really conquer much more than they already have.

Nothing about what the Russian Federation has done makes any kind of geopolitical sense. It's all just a giant (and incredibly murderous and destructive) fantasy.
Just did a network trace and it's nothing nefarious. The app just sends a POST request asking for the latest version of the app which is stored at this site. Literally the only response from the request is "{"latestVersion":72}". So no data is being sent anywhere other than OpenAI.

Allow me to elaborate a bit more: by implementing the firewall, China not only isolated itself, it enabled the western internet to concentrate western investment on Silicon Valley firms, that with no big Chinese companies around, established today’s western world internet monopolies. Or in plain English, by closing itself, China literally helped US companies dominate the www.

China on the other hand, not only had their domestic market entirely for their own domestic giants, creating their own expertise and talent pool, they also didn’t even had to think on what to do, as they could just copy US apps “with Chinese characteristics”, making A LOT of money too.

There was a lot of talk about technology transfer, but you right, the narrative 100% changed from helping the CCP to “China bad”, but how bad they really are when they allowed America to make a true empire on the www without the Chinese companies as competitors?

How America is reacting to its very first Chinese competitor says a lot about America true sportsmanship on the market, it’s very childish and lame if you ask me.
If you enjoy having to change your oil every 3-6 months , then EVs might be disappointing because there's no oil to change. There are no transmissions, no gears (for most EVs at least), the cars are mostly silent, can't asphyxiate you in your garage, don't have to be jumped if you left the lights on all night, and you should be able to get many hundreds of thousands of miles where the car will drive mostly the same in ten years as when it was new (save for battery life decrease). Dealing with gas pumps and trying not to get gasoline drips on your shoes is a thing of the past.
The problem there is that Google, Facebook and Twitter refused to export American values abroad and chose to comply with the censorship laws of foreign governments. I do regard it as morally unacceptable for an American tech company to collaborate with political repression in a foreign country either by silencing dissidents or by helping that foreign government track down dissidents.

I also think it is quite reasonable that American tech companies should be allowed to operate in China and uphold American values in China if TikTok is allowed to operate in the US. I don't see a contradiction. The entire point of letting China into the WTO and allowing China to help Walmart and Amazon acquire inventory to offer "low prices" was to bring freedom to China by opening the country up to capitalism (this was stated more or less openly by western neoliberal policy makers at the time). It definitely wasn't to strengthen the CCP and weaken the USA but that's what the actual result of 2 decades of "free trade" with China has been.
TBH, the maintainability probably isn't as bad as you've imagined. Short of full battery replacements, there isn't much on a Tesla 3 or Y that is significantly harder than other cars.

Uber Eats to Take Down Thousands of Virtual Brands
I think they may be enforcing it for certain high-profile OAuth IDPs, e.g. Facebook. At least, as a user, I've noticed a difference in the feature, i.e. "TotallyNotMaliciousApp wants to Authenticate with Facebook" which seems to open some more locked-down version of the browser in a view that I assume is not modifiable by the app that initiated it.

But I'm not an iOS developer, so I have no idea what feature is driving this, or what the policies are around using (or not using) it.

What I found interesting about this technique is that it's difficult to classify as a bug, aside from the obviously malicious scenarios. But even then, who is being exploited? Everything is working as designed - apps should be able to control the DOM in their in-app WebView, and Facebook should expect that users on an OAuth screen may send them untrusted input. It's only when the two contexts are combined that an exploitable "bug" emerges, in such a way it's not clear whom to blame between Apple and Facebook. The only clear malicious entity is the app publisher. So from that perspective I guess you could blame Apple for letting it through review. But some apps go to great lengths to trick the reviewers in this regard, and there are many ways to obfuscate the injection, including loading it remotely or conditionally based on user IP, time of month (is a release currently under review?), etc.

In the US, a 3 wheeled vehicle can be sold as a motorcycle and then the regulations are quite lax (though I think helmet laws might kick in). Look at a Polaris Slingshot as an example.
> its main purpose: being able to be a proper tool to send a message between two or more peers.

You're projecting modernity back in time. The old purpose of writing things down was as an aid to memory, so you didn't need to record everything, just enough to jog your memory.
It also needs somebody to pay the electric bill. Right now these models take pretty significant resources to run and world domination level intelligence is going to run up quite the AWS bill.

Yeah, it makes sense that the overall design is more resilient and you'd have far less issues with cooling in general.
> The average Recumbentist is a White Male, Typically with a beard >50 years old, 30% are overweigth, 30% are average build, 30% look semi/more-fit, 10% are female.

I'm white, male, beardless, and 40 and am almost always the youngest when showing up at a recumbent meetup.

A lot of the current crop of recumbent riders (in the US at least) got into it in the late 90s and early 2000s. As the boomer cohort aged out of riding two wheeled recumbents there was a significant drop in demand for recumbent bicycles and a corresponding increase in recumbent tricycle demand. The companies making fast/racing recumbents stopped due to lack of demand (basically just Performer and Bacchetta are left) so there aren't a lot of us left in the fast recumbent bicycle crowd and almost everybody is running a 10+ year old bicycle. I have a 2009 Optima Baron, for example. More casual recumbent bicycles like LWBs or crank forwards are still around and seem to be more popular in the midwest than on the coasts. I live in NYC and recumbents are particularly rare here due to the downsides of recumbents in the city, mostly sight lines in traffic. I've seen 6 in the wild in the last 8 years and I usually see 4 or 5 recumbent trikes on mass rides like the 5 Boro but all the trikes have been from out of town.

Ya, kind of like the genius idea of getting a custom license plate with alternating L's and ones: l1l111l1

Might be hard to read or remember but it sure does stand out.
I feel like they could have done this by creating a bill saying that US social media companies must be given the same access and freedoms to the Chinese market as TikTok has to ours. It would put the onus back on the CCP, they would never allow it and they would get TikTok banned in the US without being the ones to directly ban it.
I am sure someone smarter than I can tell me why this is not a viable strategy.
I like it because an EV is a gas vehicle. It's also propane powered vehicle. It's also a diesel. It's also solar powered. It's also natural gas. It's whatever generator you can find to plug it into at that moment in time.

In the event of economic uncertainty, the gas stations are the first to run out and begin rationing resulting in miles long lines. An EV has many, many options to keep you operating in a disaster scenario.

Plus, unlike gas cars, my EV is always fully charged ready to go every morning. How many people have a 1/4 or even an 1/8 of a gas tank sitting in their driveway right now?

They are excellent prep vehicles.
Yes, but it's a matter of making them more than anything else. The F150 can charge other vehicles:

Throw a bus battery or a generator on a trailer and as long as the vehicles aren't too damaged to operate you can make quick enough progress clearing things out.
It sounds like you do need the extended range of a new battery but aren't willing to pay for it. Too bad, then...?

That's why I added a conditional, because I can't read your mind.

> And perhaps you are okay with a future where - when most cognitively demanding jobs have been automated - much of of humanity as been reduced to mentally incompetent beings dependent on AI.

This is an understandable reading of my position. But I would probably phrase it differently.

I think we should make a delineation between work that we have to do and work that we want to do. AI will probably automate away much of the work we have to do, freeing us up to do more of the work we want to do.

We can optimize society such that every person should work towards some hypothetical motivated, curious, and educated ideal, or we can optimize society so that people are just happy in whatever way happiness can be defined for them.

If people aren’t interested in learning more about themselves and about the world around them, so be it. It certainly wouldn’t effect my motivation.

Think of it like working out. Nobody needs to exercise, but people do it because they want to. Either because it’s fun, or it makes them feel better about themselves, or for the skill acquisition aspect, or even the community aspect.

Polygyny still exists, and is still legal, in over 50 countries worldwide-most of those are Muslim-majority countries, but there are also some non-Muslim majority countries which have legal polygyny for their Muslim minority (e.g. India, Singapore). While Christianity traditionally opposes polygyny, it is popular among some Africans who mix Christianity with their traditional practices, and some Christian-majority African countries have legalised it due (in part) to pressure from those Christians.

I forget how many wives the Emir of Dubai has had-a few, simultaneously. From what some of his ex-wives have said, he’s an abusive husband, but Dubai sure survives. And while most marriages in Dubai are monogamous, I’m sure he’s not the only man in Dubai with multiple simultaneous legal wives.

I think you meant "promiscuous".
Meta seems to be doing fine financially besides the VR money pit. Also in a weird way having TikTok around just bolsters their case against any sort of anti trust enforcement. That said I am sure they would be happy if TikTok did get banned but I also doubt they are sticking their neck out lobbying for that to happen (although I would not be surprised to be wrong)
I think the screen is more or less mandatory because backup cameras are mandatory.
Probably not publicly available data, except in looking at the various flows of cattle. A common one is pasture to weaning, then pasture 'stocking operations, totalling one year, followed by 3 months in feedlot.

I suspect you could find cattle that spend as much as 50% of their lives in confined feeding operations, but that's a guess, and obviously I couldn't say how prevalent.

The 'animal rights' activists clearly insinuate that feedlots are all there is; that seems never to be the case. The actual fractions are moving targets. Even small direct-to-consumer outfits selling quarters and larger (common in Virginia) tend to finish on grain because it makes the meat more palatable.
Nix support on macOS is pretty good, but it's not the main OS of most Nixpkgs contributors and that does show in some ways, and there are some differences in using it as a 'guest' package manager rather than having it run the whole show.

First, the bad:

Apple does minorly break things on every OS upgrade by nuking all of your systemwide shell RC files, besides the more substantial. (There's been some investigation into more robust ways to get that integration working, but so far none of the leads are very promising.)

Nix on macOS has to do some weird stuff to achieve integration due to macOS' security features like SIP and non-writable /. Nowadays the installer just takes care of this.

macOS GUI apps don't get built by Hydra, so they're not in the binary cache. This is because they require proprietary software (Xcode) to build, and Hydra doesn't build or cache non-free derivations as a legal precaution. For grabbing things like iTerm or whatever, you might prefer using Homebrew in a limited way ('casks' only) with a non-standard prefix. This is what I have done and recommend doing. (That said, macOS GUI apps do exist in Nixpkgs and they build just fine, so if you want you can still use Nix for your iTerm and your custom Emacs build and whatever.)

Now the good parts:

Package availability on macOS is still great.

Nix feels really fast compared to Homebrew!

There's a new, alternative Nix installer available from a credible company in the Nix community that seems to cope a bit better with macOS' integration quirks, making uninstalling and reinstalling a bit easier: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer

If you like NixOS' declarative style and service/configuration management capabilities, there's an awesome module system that lets you get a very similar experience on macOS: https://daiderd.com/nix-darwin/

The ugly(?):

The default build environment for packages on macOS uses a completely different toolchain than Nix uses on Linux. LLVM instead of GCC, libsystem instead of glibc. This is appropriate and generally invisible, but you may notice it and think about it when writing your own packages or something like that.

Nix builds and the environment in general are a bit less 'pure' on macOS. Some of that is part of what I just mentioned above. Another aspect is that Nix builds are not sandboxed on macOS.

I hope that helps! Overall, if you like NixOS, I think you will find lots to like about Nix on Mac. :)

Maintaining a logbook by date. This enabled me to have some chance of reestablishing state when I knew the date of some action. It also collected all my scribble, notes and references in one place meaning I only had one thing to remember when wandering about. Eventually, two with my phone but they came way later. Yeah, it wasn’t searchable but no electronic alternative worked anywhere near as well nor were as robust when traveling. A good quality engineering spiral notebook..

This approach worked for all operating systems and languages that I used. Planning, work notes, summaries and speculations along with the everyday detritus that showed up.
Yes, or servers. I've been searching for ways to convert an older Dell laptop mainboard into a simple server. It has great power consumption on account of being a laptop logic board, and enough power to run serious server workloads.

Unfortunately, I do not think a universal product for reusing laptop logic boards exists. Although it might be easy enough to make. All ports on the logic board could be wired up to a backplate in the case with extension cables. Airflow could be controlled by temperature inside. Only designing a solder-less power button extension and a universal mount for mainboards in the case might be challenging.

It is really wasteful to throw away old laptop hardware which could be made into either low-end PCs, or game emulator consoles, or home servers, or NAS devices.
If I add up all the vehicles I've purchased in my lifetime, still not 36k.

They are calling for a pause, not a stop.

It’s quite clear that OpenAI has a significant lead over everyone else. The only other country outside the west that even has a chance at developing something better than GPT-4 soon is China. China has a pretty cautious culture as well so it’s quite possible that a bilateral moratorium can be negotiated with them.

ADDED: Even without considering X-risks, China’s rulers cannot be pleased with the job displacement risks that GPT-4 plus Plugins may cause, not to mention a more powerful model.

They have trained a huge number of college graduates and even now there are significant unemployment/underemployment issues among them.

ADDED 2: If you think many companies can do it, please identify a single company outside the US/UK/China with the capability to train an equivalent of GPT-3.5 from scratch.

> Amazon is basically a "premium" Wish/Aliexpress nowadays.

I'm totally baffled by this. What would one order off of those sites? How does one even find it? The filtering either doesn't exist or is totally worthless. Even when there is some sort of sensible filtering, the results are still far worse than Amazon. Just showing a bunch of pictures and prices is not helpful. Trying to force me to create an account to just browse the site is not helpful. Wish seems like it is setup completely for impulse buyers buying random junk they see. Aliexpress is a wee bit better than Wish, but is still trash compared to Amazon. I don't understand who would subject themselves to that sort of torture. The prices don't seem any better.
