> I’m not saying Dobbs doesn’t matter, only that I both 1) doubt it’s a central driver of the trend

Yeah, I’m not saying it (or reproductive rights & health care more generally) is the central driver of the trend, I’m saying its one of the key reasons why if someone asked me, today, what group in American society would be most depressed, my intuitive response would be “white liberal teen girls” (particularly, its a key reason why “female, white, and liberal” are parts of that) – why that element that was called out as surprising upthread would not be.

Though Dobbs didn’t just appear ex nihilo without many years of clear lead up to it that reflected a change in the direction of society, so I wouldn’t dismiss the issue being deeply connected to an important part of the broader, earlier trend.
They probably have no idea, or will give generic responses because that's the best they can figure.
AI Hands Working
Musk has nothing to do with it. There's this whole movement full of people that want to have the code for everything they run. It's called Open Source. Of course, there's the matter of consent, and someone's private code being shared is not what the movement is about, but yes, some people want people to able to freely share all code.

It might also shock you to find out that there are even groups out there that want everything for free! They can be found at places like the pirate bay, or libgen.
In the sense of whether their client has committed the underlying acts they are accused of, yes, this is something a lawyer would definitely want to know, and try to find out, as it effects what legal defenses can actually work vs. are likely to be swiftly rebutted.

(I realize there a much broader claims being made in this thread, like about where the payment money is bad and what obligations that prompts. I'm not attempting to address issues such as those, just the narrower topic above.)

HOW??? what does this even mean? does Kamala Harris get to put a camera in my house to make sure I don't watch Khan Academy videos on neural nets?

The states with the highest local tax burden are the most progressive states. A $180,000 fixer-upper in my town already exceeds $10,000 in property taxes. Like 80% of that is school tax. Rather than beg for federal money to educate our children or shortchange them by cheaping out, we pay for it ourselves. Rather than beg for federal money to fix our pipes, we fix them before they utterly fail.

The lowest tax burden states have the worst schools, poorest health outcomes, crumbling infrastructure, and expect the federal government to bail them out. Forget that, I'm tired of subsidizing the lazy states.

Is that obvious? Or do the immediate, simple things - I have to see everyone at school tomorrow and they all think [something bad about me] - create anxiety more?

> almost universally considered nicer than today's buildings

I can't agree with that. They're a fascinating curiosity, but they're also awfully gaudy (no pun intended). The ornamentation is extremely excessive by the standards of any common style since. Not because of cost, but just because of taste.
If this is true, then I believe it will unfortunately get worse. Given the curve of technological progress and social media trends and the overall turn humanity is going right now I believe the future is going to be increasing polarized in terms of happiness. Half of the popular will be extremely happy while the other half will be extremely depressed. Not exactly like this but the psychological well-being bell curve is going to get away from a normal distribution and become more distorted.
It's very unlikely. Once you control for the type of car (minivan, sports car, etc) and type of person buying the car (young/old, male/female), red cars get similar amount of tickets to other colors.

I used to do this until recently. It is now a bad habit of mine. On a mountain descent you'll want to steer that road bike how you would a mountain bike by leaning the bike and counter leaning your body. The more gradual the turn and lower thd speed, the less it will matter.
Thorizon raises funds for MSR development (2022)
I have the X1 Carbon Gen9 and I've used Arch as my daily driver for over 15 years I think it is now. Just want to mention in case it piqued your interest that I recently moved from Arch to NixOS on my X1C9 to help bake my whole system into a set of functional configs. It's particularly nice that I was able to functionally describe my whole system including packages, quirks, patches, configs (system + dotfiles) in a reproducible way.

Also I think you'll love the machine - it's certainly my favorite Linux laptop.
Grant Abbitt's the best. His Udemy course "Complete Blender Creator: Learn 3D Modelling for Beginners" is really great for a complete novice. It's a really well thought out style of "repeat after me, now let's do it again and I'll give you a bit less guidance, now here's the thing again and you try it on your own, okay now I'll walk through it." Very intentional, very well done, broad introduction to many tools.

He also has some short free videos of the same style: "here's a simple shape, produce it on your own, now I'll show you how I would've done it."

Of course, it's on Udemy, so the price rapidly vacillates between $10 and $190 according to no system knowable to man, but when it's on the cheap end it's a great deal.
Probably -5 actually, I got promoted to this level right around when tech stocks started to dip. However, I’ve since had some retention bonus grants that will make it even more absurd if the stocks do go back up.

Having been through several months of weekly group therapy sessions with my daughter and having seen dozens of kids suffering from anxiety and depression, I can tell you you're wrong on both counts:

1. They're not medicated. Boys are most likely to be medicated, but out of all these dozens of kids there was only one boy. Boys are so rare that one girl thought it was a girls-only therapy group and wondered where do guys go to get help?

2. Most of them were highly physically active - more so than most of the people I knew when I was growing up.
It's impossible to rule out all possibility of one-of human semi-circumnavigation in pre-history, either through boatmaking or unique natural circumstances. H. sapiens neanderthalensis may have even beat us h. sapiens sapiens to water transportation.

Mass migration, OTOH, needs motivating factors such as curiosity, opportunity, or existential threat, and is more difficult to navigate the young, old, infirm, and the naïve through dangerous travels.

I’m surprised that the author didn’t mention LLMs. Their power is not in their ability to write—-they are simply not at a literary level. However, they write average prose (which is often grammatical, as the deviations considered non-grammatical tend to cancel each other out) very well and very fast. You could say they are not MOC, but they are Paul Graham. And that’s scary, because even the Paul Graham level is good enough to mount a disinformation campaign, as the success of Y Combinator literally proves.
> TBH just from your dogmatic and insulting tone it was clear that you’re just trying to give your opinions false justification and aren’t interested in finding the truth at all.

You were very rudely asking for sources to something widely accepted since the middle ages... so... how were you expecting me to reply, exactly? I love discussing this sort of stuff, so, if we can be civil, let's discuss it!

> See this paper, which was written after yours, reviewing dozens of other papers, with a sample size of 1100 instead of 70

I'll give the paper you linked a more thorough read later on. From a cursory scan, I didn't see anything about the prefrontal cortex in the entire paper, and from what I can tell, wasn't measured. No one is saying that the brain sizes of men/women differ, only that the PFC isn't fully mature in men until later than it is for women. I don't think an MRI would show this feature, but I could be wrong (maybe myelination might be some sort of indicator?)

Like I said, I doubt there's a study specifically about this, but I could totally be wrong. I might have to call some of my neurology friends and ask weird questions lol. If you're in the medical world, you could ask too. Maybe we might both learn something new.

You’re probably right, it’s more about aero + production constraints. I don’t think the concept cars use the same constraints, which is why they have to change to get to production. Even if a design looks different and is still aerodynamic it doesn’t mean it can be economically produced without large changes to the production process.

I’ve only worked in body panel stamping in automotive assembly as a controls engineer, so I may be taking a bit out of school here.

How does the rate of hospitalizations prove anything? Perhaps a growing awareness of mental health made people who were eligibile for hospitalization seek medical care, whereas before they would not be hospitalized for lack of a diagnosis? Or perhaps the same awareness made teens enact the pathological behavior they learned about online, complete with self-harm and suicide atemtps?

Any measure you can think to track a condition that is defined, diagnosed and (especially) self-diagnosed subjectively, is by definition subjective.

The X1 Yoga is better in my opinion. It is nearly the same as a Carbon but is a convertible and also has a touchscreen w/stylus.
> Am I wrong because even if you charge the batteries with power that comes from nonrenewable energy, its still more efficient, and in that becomes different from nonrenewable power?

this is an it depends.

The best combined cycle power plants are more efficient - even accounting for transmissions losses than an ICE. However there are a few power plants that are less efficient.

Coal is about equal efficiency to a ICE in the ideal cases for both. Running an ICE at ideal efficiency is unlikely though, while they manage coal to put close to ideal, though after transmission losses the difference isn't so great if you are doing highway driving (but city driving is vastly worse).

The worst case power plants are worse then city driving in an ICE. These power plants are typically mothballed, but they when there is an emergency. They are generally only used every 5 years, but they are a part of every power utilities emergency plans. As power demand goes up power gets less efficient in general, so Christmas season is going to be less efficient.

> Am I wrong because, in the U.S., its about 50/50 renewable/nonrenewable so the claim that your likely to charge your battery with nonrenewable energy is laughable?

This is wrong. US generation is about 20% renewable (as of last year) overall. Some areas have far more renewable than others (my utility claims >80% wind for me in marketing, but I cannot find and source that can be scientifically claimed). Some areas have far less. You may also count nuclear power as green even though it isn't renewable.

Most energy comes from non-renewables for sure. However that is overall and so your specific situation may be different.

You are thinking of layoffs as a failure or punishment. It's not.

To understand it, you need to think of it from the businesses perspective. People are capital equipment that consume money and output productivity in a particular area.

There is a cost to hiring (recruiting, onboarding, training) and firing (severance, reallocation of responsibilities) these people, which is why corporations are not run like an Uber-style demand-based gig for the most part. There is "stickiness" to hiring someone.

However, when the required productivity or capital availability changes (external forces, bad forecasting, change in market conditions), as a company you decide whether the pain of changing the labor force is worth it. These may be the result of bad bets or dumb luck, but that doesn't matter. The goal is to adjust the companies' production to its ability to finance those production machines (people).

Imagine you're in the photocopying business, and you lease photocopiers from Xerox. Depending on demand, you may want to increase the number that you lease. Or maybe the market is in a economic downturn, and people are photocopying less. You try run the numbers and decide if paying the penalty for breaking the lease on x machines is worth it vs. paying the monthly fee for them. That's the simple calculus.
I don't know how you leapt from the only group with a negative in-group bias to wanting to expand the in-group. Hating yourself isn't intrinsically inclusivity.

What kinda thing would you want to make?

Blender can do so many things. I personally use it to draw pretty things to be 3d printed, and then cast out of metal. But there are people who use it to composite things into live action footage, people who make game assets, and a lot more.

Weapons firm claims TikTok data center has reserved spare electricity supply
Tldr, summary from quillbot.com

The CEO told the FT that the company's growth is being "challenged by the storage of cat videos."

A Norwegian arms manufacturer said that a TikTok data center is eating all the electricity in the region, meaning that the company cannot keep up with the surging global demand for ammunition.

The energy company told the FT that it has no spare capacity for Nammo to hike its output as it has already been promised to TikTok.

"Brandtzaeg said that he had considered whether it was a coincidence that Chinese-owned TikTok was impeding the expansion of an arms company.
