> But somehow people still buy food and shelter even though they could put their money in VTSAX instead and get 7% returns.

Silly people, needing a roof over their heads and nutrition.

> We could use a world with more saving and less consumerism.

Everyone saving more would be disastrous for global human welfare. It won't preserve resources in any meaningful way and would set society back generations. If that's your goal, great.

But what we need to do instead is shift toward consuming sustainably. That might mean consuming less in some instances, but in a many cases it means consuming differently, especially in how we consume energy.
Any sources about Qatar being a funder of terrorism? Other than Trump.
It would indeed be something. Neutrino-based sensors are seen sometimes in hard science fiction. I always assumed that was a little implausible because of the compounding problem of neutrinos interacting poorly with the target and with the sensor. But here we are, a stone's throw from making such sensors a reality, albeit looking for sources rather than shadows.
> And although I personally believe overprotecting kids is ultimately bad for them and that reality is something they need to understand, I respect that other parents may have different limits.

This is also a more bipartisan issue on the ground than we'd like to admit. Both conservative parents and many "radical feminists", for example, both agree pornography should not be used as a tool for teaching oneself about sex. But if you take the ACLU literally here (because of how broad their position is), they think that's just a necessary evil. I think it is not unreasonable as a parent to strongly, strongly disagree with that idea.
With the news that they are shutting down the Google assistant smart displays, the best thing you can do now is just not have smart devices like these in your house or just use Home assistant. They're just waiting to go to the landfill.
eh, I charge with the "regular plugin charger" - I get about 4 miles an hour, so overnight I get 32 miles. It's enough for my daily driving and then some.
While I deeply disagree with you and I recoil at the idea of a system under which a person might spend literal years in prison for taking a shit where they "shouldn't", I respect your honesty. Usually when I pose these kind of questions people lie about their true expectations because they wish for such harsh measures in secret but rather not be associated with them.
I think it has always been hard to prove generalist-ness to recruiters. I had one recruiter literally wanted react Vx.y.z. Ok I lie. She did not care about minor versions. I have huge respect for recruiters for sourcing but being the front-line for judging is ridiculous. It shows how much respect HMs have for candidates!
Don't. It makes you look desperate. Use some kind of other mechanism to broadcast if you must, but if you put that on your Linkedin profile pic it is not a good look.
The law has been changed numerous times since then. However, the requirement to possess an ID was introduced with the start of WW II. So it's not completely wrong to call it a Nazi invention.
Doesn't Postgres actually use it's TOAST system (basically pointers to blobs on disk) for any large value anyway?

Considering the context presented (the sampling of very tech forward people who really enjoy advanced gadgets), then OP's question makes a lot of sense.

Your comparison is a bit weird. I have seen more than 10 iPhones today, and all I did was walk to Starbucks and back.
Again though, RabbitMQ and many AMQP consumers are explicitly designed so that you don't have to do this if you don't want to. If you have long idempotent tasks, it is both possible (and, in many cases, recommended!) to set QoS (prefetch) to 1 and ACK only after the long task has completed. This means you don't have to write any logic to deal with worker crashes/disconnects/etc. because this is a fully anticipated and supported workflow. There are certainly downsides to this approach, but not having to worry about tracking job ids is much simpler.
Unpopular opinion: don't have sex with random people and you wont get STI's.
No, the term “open source” was in use before long before the OSI, and it was in popular/hacker culture in the 1980s. UNIVAC used it in for a major system in the 1950s. [1] I used it in 1993 (I wrote a small BBS).

The OSI looks and sounds like an authority on open source software, but their entire strategy is legal, political and quasi-philosophical. I get how easy it is to be mislead by them though — they’re good at spinning things and rewriting history.

Honestly, it sounds like a good idea. You already have to show ID to buy cigarettes or alcohol, and social media is at least as harmful to kids.
I think in a room with enough sycophants one could be made to believe in the vision of the Metaverse being the answer to Facebooks current problems;

- Lack of relevance on the big blue site.

- Huge slide in ad revenue.

- Expensive acquisition of Oculus with not much revenue to show for it. $2bn is not a bet-the-company amount of money for Facebook, but it is something, and that $2bn spent on Oculus is op cost taken from somewhere else.

- Reduction in moats for FB, Web shifted to mobile, FB tried bets on mobile + gaming, but those moats have receded.

I imagine Mark wanted something that could increase ad spend, new revenue stream (increase revenue from micro transactions, digital asset ownership) and something to give them some platform strength to shore up their future.

If you look around there is no other technology that is offering itself as a platform to own apart from the meta verse.

Now, I absolutely do not think this bet will pay off - but I can see how he would think it would.
Forgetting to control for relative difference in quality of candidates between the two pools.
> When you first run A* to traverse the maze, you can assign each edge a weight equal to the distance between the two adjacent nodes, which is equal to the Manhattan distance in your case. Once you have completed the traversal, you can go through each edge of the path that A* has found and temporarily increase its weight by some factor. Then, you can run A* again, but this time the pathfinder will prefer alternative paths that do not use those edges that have been "blocked" by the increased weight.

Yeah, this is wrong for two reasons. First, it's actually doing things backwards (you would decrease the cost of a wall, you wouldn't need to block any path). And second, it's still predicated on re-running A* after modifying costs (and comparing it with our original path), getting us back to O(n^n).

This is more evidence that AI models are good at regurgitating, but not great at reasoning. GPT-4 probably only saw this problem once or twice (since it was trained on the Pile, which includes all of SO, including my original question), but not enough times to understand what the solution is (or even what you're asking, for that matter).
> Which kinds of organizations don't care about correctness or reputation?

This describes any "creative" job, where the hard part of the job is not rejecting the bad ideas but coming up with the good ones. Visual art is one famous example. Programming is another: if your code doesn't pass the test suite, you can tell, and then you can fix it. Some software needs higher assurance than test suites can provide, and then you need to get your code to pass Rust's borrow checker, or a more rigorous proof checker like ACL2. Telling a valid proof from an invalid one is a solved problem; constructing a program you can write a valid proof for is very much not.

Programmers and visual artists are also famously cavalier about correctness and reputation, being willing to try anything, including notorious bohemian lifestyles.
Personally if I have to go into an 'alarm' ecosystem I'd go with Alarm.com if you're serious about paying for monitoring.

My favorite vendor is https://suretyhome.com/ - they have reasonable costs to get an alarm panel running with monitoring and all the normal integrations.

(I personally use an older Honeywell Vista security system that's been integrated into ADC via a communicator. The sky's the limit!)
>If some of the stuff Trump/Elon did secretly leaked, people could be going crazy

The author is correct, in a sense, that Bitcoin's core security is social consensus, but he falsely equivocates it with fiat currency. They are most definitely not governed by the same sets of incentives. The incentives of Bitcoin ensure its monetary policy won't change, and those incentives have strengthened consistently over time.

He oversells the need of miners to band together to defend Bitcoin. They do not. All that's needed is for nodes to invalidate blocks, which is a simple command. No code changes or anything required. If an attacker is 10 blocks deep into an attack, node operators can just invalidate the first block of the attack, wasting all of the effort and resources of the attacker. Nodes can invalidate blocks longer than an attacker can stay solvent.

Miners must follow the economic majority of the network or risk wasting resources mining a losing chain. Miners aren't rule makers, they're rule takers. This was the main lesson of the Bitcoin Cash fork which the author mentions several times, but maybe he missed the point of it.
I’m surprised this space isn’t better disrupted. They all aren’t that great, even the new comers. Either they don’t have wide product coverage, only work with certain assistants / apps, are ugly, terrible UX, etc.

As much as I don’t think it’s that great, Ring seems to be the best of the bunch now.
I've had a similar thing happen to me when I was in my early twenties - chronic pain, incapable of concentrating, grimacing during work, etc. Got fired, got unemployment (this was during 2008 crisis, so unemployment was two years, not 6 months), experimented hard during those two years (basically my full-time job was to find a combination of medication and lifestyle changes that reduced my pain and kept my mind clear). Luckily for me, I succeeded.

First thing to handle in this case: if you look around the studies, you will know that chronic pain is a precursor to proper, clinical depression. So, if you are not getting psychiatric/psychological treatment for depression, that's the very first thing to attack. A common response to this is "but I am in chronic pain, not somehow sick in my head!", and if that's an objection that seems to resonate with you, you should get over that objection, fast. Chronic pain causes depression. Your writings sure as shit sound like you are depressed (well, you know, it's not proper to diagnose people across a text forum, but I'll take an exception in this one case).

The combination of drugs and lifestyle changes that saved my life were Welbutrin for the chronic-pain-caused depression, and Lyrica for the actual pain, and private pilates workouts for the areas that were actually in pain in order to re-train the nerves and muscles around the area to send proper pain signals, and swimming to maintain general body health. I did nothing other than that for an entire year; sounds like you have a similar opportunity. Onboard yourself onto my cocktail across a period of four months, 1 item per month. Start with either lyrica or welbutrin.

Lyrica in low doses makes one drowsy, and in higher doses has a perking-up effect. If lyrica seems to fix your pain but makes you drowsy, the proper response is to go up in dose, not down.

Both lyrica and welbutrin are available as generics at this point, so you really just need to see a doctor that would be willing to give you these prescriptions.
The Leaning Tower of Progress. Why we must rethink the meaning of prosperity
> More and more it seems that party is loosing its original outlook.

The original outlook was never free speech absolutism. Both sides have always agreed there are limits on free speech, but just have different metrics for where the line should be drawn. Many on the Democratic side would be OK with stricter rules against using "deadnames" or incorrect pronouns deliberately against trans people; while the GOP would be strongly opposed. Likewise, the GOP would likely not rule the Satanic Temple to have any free speech on school campuses if possible, whereas the Democratic side would call that inconsistency.
So select for investors who can stomach a specified return, so the company doesn't have to IPO, but can instead buy them out. After the coop is able to generate revenue to and is able to buy out the initial investor's initial investment, and give them a return between 10 and 100x, it reverts to being a traditional coop.

I'm not making a claim on political affiliation (and don't have a detailed opinion on it, being not from the US I don't read NPR stuff very much and have never heard any of their radio programmes). It's not necessary for my argument. (People desperately trying to turn everything they dislike into government-led propaganda is sadly an international pattern)
They didn't just pass on the story, they put out negative commentary about it by calling it a distraction without even bothering to explain how they arrived at that.
It's not worth it to you, of course.

But if you already have $100 billion dollars; and all you wanted in the world was adoration and accolades from adoring masses; and you didn't care those masses are trolls, clowns, and morons; then maybe $44 billion is the right price.

"An additional benefit became apparent after we started using Blank: it significantly lowers the energy consumption of the screen.

All modern TVs have circuits that detect a blank signal and turn off LEDs to reduce the power required by the device. If you’ve ever felt heat coming off your big screen, Blank makes that go away."
Maybe for YouTube, but for consuming long-form content like movies, there’s something to be said for sitting down and watching purposefully with a more immersive experience.
BTW, if you happen to have an OLED device, when you display a black image on your display, other than the electronics that run to render the image, it's equivalent to actually having the screen functionally off. Unlike an LCD display where dark versus white pixels use approximately the same power, on an OLED display black pixels use no power.

As I understand it, Qi has a digital communication channel from the phone to the charger but no digital communication from charger to phone. So any exploit over Qi would have to somehow compromise the phone’s charging system with just analog field variations (frequency, field strength, or whatever else the phone measures).
Why is a matrix similar to its own transpose?
As far as I understand, it is possible for the devs to hand over control over aspects of the game such as the in-game market or the corporation-related contracts to the players via the blockchain. The dev servers would query the blockchain for this information instead of storing it. This allows for potentially massive and breaking changes to the game engine, without players losing any progress they had in the game. Or, potentially, if the dev studio dies for some reason, the community could be given the sources. Or, other games could be developed around EVE which also have access to this blockchain. The possibilities are big. It's similar to how Steam untangled player inventory, market, and mods from the games themselves, but with blockchain, you don't even need Steam to do this.
ARM is, without a shred of a doubt, the legacy architecture.

I just tried this on questions I had about archery and bow design. It was immediately useful in highlighting and summarizing sources into something coherent while citing sources for deeper study.

On the other hand, when I asked it to tell me the difference between spine weight of wooden arrows and spine numbers on carbon arrows, it was not as useful. That is because no one has ever written an article about it, and when I was looking for that manually, I had to find that answer by inferring from a technical PDF. (The answer starts with, spine weight on wooden arrows do not directly measure deflection, and was created by a trade association, rather than the spine deflection numbers designed by an organization that standardizes weights and measures of materials for engineers).

The low hanging fruit here may be to ingest and summarize pdfs and papers.
Yes, their point of view seemed the most nuanced and that is why I asked them. I wasn't challenging them. I was hoping for more thoughts.
The ACLU is a legal organization about civil liberties. It is not a political campaign trying to convince moms to vote for them.
The SO answer is pretty good and probably the most generalizable pathfinding solution.

My first thought was to also run A* from the end to the start. This would allow you to look at each wall in the maze and check if the A* cost from the start + A* cost from the end < best current path. In my opinion, this would result in simpler code than the SO solution.
If every source was judged by that standard, and the accounts of media conglomerates such as Disney were also flagged as state affiliated, I could get on board with that, maybe. But it risks being a useless qualification at that point.
History books? The evidence is abundant, it's weird that this is even in dispute. Not sure what the Chinese term was but the Soviets used the word "bourgeoisie" or sometimes "kulaks" where today we would say right wing/capitalists, and they used пропаганда (propaganda) for what today we would call misinformation. And counter-revolutionaries were just counter-revolutionaries, no change there.

The only bit about hintymad's claim that's false is that the people who publicly doubted Mao weren't labelled as things. They were just executed.

I saw her at a keyboard meetup in NYC. She blew my mind with her vim setup: chords representing commands meant that the keystrokes didn't exactly matter: you could have the chord represent an arbitrarily annoying set of keystrokes and have a correspondingly complicated vimrc to handle them.

> If NPR's government contributions are embarrassing for the organisation, it might be best for them to forgo that funding.

Ah, yes, the old "if I misrepresent the issue and assign a negative emotion to it, other people will see it as bad" trope. That's fun.

Do you have any evidence they find the contributions "embarrassing" as opposed to finding the label an intentionally-misleading dog whistle? Or is that not something that occurred to you?

Now it's a combination of a class reunion and your aunt's 70th birthday party, but the usual social restraint is conspicuously absent.
