Sorry for the late reply.

So you think Holmes got off too lightly, yes?

Maybe she did. I don't know.

Eleven years is a pretty long time, especially if you're in a crowded place without the ability to leave.

What would you suggest instead? Put her in a male supermax prison and let the inmates have at her? Or just put two bullets in the back of her head?

Either way, it's no skin off my nose. Although, TBH I think an extended supermax prison-wide gang rape might be overkill.

But I'd be fine with two in the back of the head.
Of course, I know better. He's too cowardly to come out and say what he's feeling, but just take a look at his likes from today. Apparently he thinks that journalist should be jailed for embarrassing him. https://twitter.com/garrytan/likes
Seems far more likely that it was someone he knew rather than a stranger. Turns out that was in fact the case.

Hi Yegor, does Windscribe have an API (for resellers)? If so, how can one get access?
Sadly it outputs raw svg code so you have to save it locally as .svg to see it. Or just insert it into an HTML page via devtools if you're lazy like me.

Not dumber. More biased.

Important distinction, especially if we're looking to push back out towards the Pareto Frontier of the problem.

RLHF is still very much in its infancy and does not maximize the bias-variance tradeoff by a long shot, in my personal experience.
Worth considering, but the conclusion that permanency is "definitely not what you should look for in your social network" goes way too far. People use different social networks for different purposes.

There are certain privacy features like self-deleting messages that you can only get in a closed ecosystem. Does this mean you shouldn't use any kind of web-based social media, since everyone you communicate with can easily and automatically archive everything using a browser extension or userscript?
I have an ego weed whacker and a leaf blower and I adore them. (still using a push mower but might give in some day). Not having to deal with gas is awesome. They're cleaner, they're quieter (but not quiet), and lower-maintainence. Not sure if something better came out in the last year, but as of the time I bought them, they were still pretty close to the top from my preference set.

> Also, if it doesn’t work out, I’m scared of leaving a broken heart in another person.

I used to have the same worry when I was younger. I think it came from overestimating the fragility of the average person, and underestimating their ability to deal with it. People can cope with more than you think. And so can you.
I know. But still, that amount of compiled code is insane.
More pragmatically, the big yachts are what keep the industry afloat and without them the options for the average sailor would be limited to say the least.

It did? Did I miss something here? I don't remember seeing that. There was certainly code that tallied certain specific people and topics, but I don't see an indication of what was done with that tally.
Ok. When you replied to a message about whether the product shutdowns were handled well, quoted specifically the"were shut down reasonably well" text, and offered Stadia as a counter-example, I thought you were in fact claiming that Stadia was not shut down well.

My apologies, I should have realized you were not actually replying to that point in any way and just making another generic "Google cancel everything lol" argument.

The models seem to have been changing in the background, though as another commenter pointed out.... having a variance-calibrayion baseline for humans would be great too. :'))))
You seem to be missing that they're not actually inferior tools. I can't think of a single thing that can't be done at least approximately as easily with emacs than with VSCode and the like.
One proof of this is the various battery formats a given manufacturer can have; some compatible some not.

The reality is that for most tradesmen and users it’s just not a problem at all. If all your tools are one battery, fine. If one is different then that’s the “toilet plunger battery” or whatever, and if you have an eclectic mix then you probably keep them relatively organized.

And if you really really want to you can 3D print or buy adapters with varying success.
Not exactly sure what you're getting at, but the idea that we can some kind of privacy when the capability to develop near omniscient technology exists seems like a great path for dystopia.
I don't know why you would compare it to a refund or return. It is completely different, and many Goods don't come with a refund.

I think it's closer to buying toilet paper from a store and returning the used toilet paper and expecting a full refund.

You can't simply "give them partners", because what's fueling many of the things that you described at the top is materialism, female hypergamy, cultural/social pressures, inbreeding/purity ideology (pure blood), xenophobia, etc...

Presenting a female partner won't take away her expectations (including expensive wedding fantasies and high class lifestyle), her family's expectations, expected social duties, etc...

And I will shed light on the elephant in the room, that many who have not lived in South Korea don't know about, but paying for sex is cheap and easy to find everywhere. Many such men would rather pay for sex, than be burdened with all the duties and expectations that a female partner would bring.

A significant percentage of South Korea's problem is their own xenophobia and Korean ethnic nationalism (pure blood ideology). Which goes to extremes, and is even bias against other Asians, who don't look Korean enough or are proven not to have Korean blood. Where with other countries, they can offset low birth rates, marriage partners, and their tax base with immigration, South Korea won't.

Consequently, until the mind set changes, South Korea is steadily heading towards massive population reduction. Until only a small number of the "purest" are left, and a significant number like it that way.
You are right. I can confirm that South Africa has similar problems. A few Uber and Bolt drivers have met sad ends. My nephew a driver has been robbed a few times. Both Uber and Bolt allow you to pay in cash so drivers are targeted for the cash and phone. Some areas are just a no go at night for drivers.
Subjectively defensible answer is enough. But very hard.

You keep saying that but it's not best for the environment. What's best for the environment would be buying commercial solar with 10% the cost and 10% of the waste
Nobody ever produced any evidence to the contrary. I've read hundreds of blog posts saying he 'must have' been murdered by powerful political figures on the basis that powerful figures have means, motives, and opportunities that are not available to most ordinary folk, and therefore that mere possibility is sufficient to be considered a probability. The absence of evidence is thrown back as 'proof' of a cover-up.
The insurance market is fixing the problem. Citizens Insurance, the high risk pool, is slowly rolling out a flood insurance requirement across all policyholders. You can either afford insurance, or you will self insure. If you can’t afford the insurance, you won’t be able to carry a mortgage. Arguably, the system is correcting the previously mispriced risk.

lack of analytics offering over stolen data seemed like a missed opportunity too :(
It's really simple.

Every grid user should pay retail price for power at the spot retail price when they buy it from the grid

Every grid user should be paid retail price for power at the spot retail price when they send it to the grid.

Every grid user should pay a grid connection fee.

So sure, the grid is a "free battery", but time of use is taken into account.

If there's a huge spike in electricity prices just after sundown that's fine. People will have an incentive to decrease power use then and produce power then. Suddenly batteries become much more profitable. Users with access to land, wind, water, or geothermal would have incentives to sell power when price is high.
It might be fine. If it's just messing with the way DXVK is being presented, it's not very different from the "hacking" people use to get DirectX games working on Linux. AFAIK, games aren't really picky about graphics API calls as long as everything behaves as-expected.
Wow. Even though you are self-interested, or maybe because of it, I hope this honesty and naked emporer approach serves you well. I have no use (?) for a VPN but I just bought the pro plan with "cool badge" sticker anyway because I like the cut of your jib.

What say you about Mullvad?
12v used to be darn weak, but it’s much stronger now - M12 chainsaws aren’t complete jokes, for example.

Usually the 12v line is focused on compact and lighter duty, 18/20v on bigger demanding tools.

At least Milwaukee chargers can charge both, mostly.
First time seeing this blog and it seems like they're trying too hard to give the benefit of doubt here. The list of concerns / drawbacks, particularly the reliability of performance concern, may be valid, but consumers deal with these already with every other battery powered device. A cheap USB charger or cable can dramatically effect your charging speed, a cheap AA battery may reduce your runtime, etc.

It feels like the author is trying to not state the obvious that every comment here has pointed out - the batteries are lock ins, and expensive ones at that. For $100 I can buy modern electrical engineering marvels, or a run of the mill battery from Milwaukee. Or just a battery charger. It is this industry's way of making profits until they get regulated / legislated into being more consumer friendly, because I doubt they will do it on their own.
Glad to hear! Those Lifetime accounts are crazy good value, never to be offered again. :)
> (...) what makes you think that any and all animosity toward President Obama existed specifically, solely because of the color of his skin?

You picked an awfully disingenuous way of framing your question. Just because you can find someone who dislikes Obama because of some random reason that does not reject or refute the pervasiveness of racism as a factor in the vitriolic hatred directed at him.

No dumber. Sure more biased too if you want but also dumber. Open ai have indicated as much.

So anything that you don't value is silly?
I hope the /s at the end of the last comment was loud enough to not be stated.

But I read the article. Yeah, it was dumb. Specifically:

> If recommendation algos aren’t shared then we need - by legislation, if necessary - a switch that turns the recommendation engine off.

This is... baffling. On YouTube - the case-in-point of the article - you already have access to a non-algorithmic feed of videos: namely, your Subscriptions feed.

And if you don't want a recommendation algorithm, good luck finding new content that you like.

And if you "turn off" the recommendation algorithm, you want... what, exactly? The latest videos uploaded to the platform? Still a recommendation algorithm. Videos with words in titles similar to the last video you watched? Still a recommendation algorithm. Videos that the creators of your favorite channel watched? STILL A RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHM.

I was wrong. The desire of the author is far dumber than I originally gave credit for.
From what I understand EDR team was absorbed internally, with most of them going to Brain. So technically they just shutdown EDR without really laying off the small team. I could be wrong though.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong. My interactions were only with a few folks on the research side which may not be representative of the entire EDR team.
> Portugal is very safe and very poor compared to most of the US

Portugal has lower gdp than the US but it isn't poor internally. People spend less % on housing food etc than in the US.

Also having no guns means a lot of crime is less violent, not that there is less of it.
Re-read that link at #3. Here's the key bit.

"its core activities involve processing of sensitive data on a large scale ---> OR <--- involve large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals"

Any analytics provider is fundamentally doing "large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals".
> What percentage are entrepreneurs and what percentage are people with mental health problems and or drug addiction?

Not for nothing, the mentally ill and/or drug addicts are no more likely to commit violent crime than you, i.e. the general population. It's amazing how with every suspect of violent crime, the first thing everyone wonders is about their mental health. Here's something to consider: everyone is mentally ill, and the majority of everyone is addicted to something or other. Let's stop demonizing mental illness and drug addiction, which are both medical conditions; stop looking for explanations there, and focus on one thing: the actual crime, the actual behavior, what happened, not what they where thinking and not if they were high. And fuck all else, especially the Goddamn bigotry. If you want a reason for violent crime, money's usually got everything to do with it. Use money as a lens, not personal biases. Because in my experience, the greatest individuals that have ever lived, that have contributed the most to humanity, were severely mentally ill, and the greatest artists, that contributed the most and most amazing pieces, paintings, music, film, that have survived the test of time, were drug addicts.
This is already being done at an industrial scale in MRFs using robotic systems from various industry vendors, including AMP Robotics (www.amprobotics.com, Alan Ross Machinery (www.alanross.biz) and ZenRobotics (www.zenrobotics.com). This makes pretty good sense at an industrial scale, but probably not much economic sense at an office scale given the low incremental value of the recyclables. That said, recycling & waste processing is among the most dangerous jobs and there are good safety arguments for using this tech in lower volume applications, though probably still not office waste.
Makita batteries are probably what counts as the de facto universal battery format in East Asia. Lots of brands off AliExpress are compatible with each other and Makita batteries.
Again, you're clumping all pixels into one category. Even if major Pixel sales seem to be coming from the relatively cheap Pixel 6a.

"While both Honor and Google’s share of the premium smartphone segment more than doubled in 2022 from 2021, they still only account for around 1% of the pie, so they are still significantly smaller players."

Behind Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi.

To put it in perspective: Pixel was launched 6 years ago which replaced Google Nexus, launched 13 years ago. It's a very minor product that Google has been pouring money into with little to no effect.
This is exactly why the “starter sets” are such good deals, they know if they get you you’re unlikely to change.

Milwaukee takes it a step further with the dual 12/18v chargers, because that would be a decision point that could make a switch - you could have all Dewalt 20V but nothing would stop you getting 12v Makita or whatever.
It was true about a decade ago (a UC in chemistry)
In Cormac McCarthy's novel No Country for Old Men, one of the characters mentions playing "mumbley-peg" as a child in pre-WW2 southern USA. According to wikipedia [1] this is an alternative spelling of the Tudor english "mumble-the-peg" game mentioned in the article.

Yes, but that is why I said that it is actually very useful to people who need the security. Most people don't think they do, but those who actually do can ask help to build from source (which is not that hard).

This is like saying that you have been a mountain biker all your life, but then decided to play the trumpet for one year. Nonsensical conjunction.

Things you can do inside emacs (and have all this be tightly integrated so you can copy and edit data seamlessly from one "application" to another, without leaving your editor):

- browse the web

- read/send/edit email, RSS news, usenet

- chat on IRC and other chat networks/protocols

- use org-mode to edit notes in an outline format with hyperlinks, executable code blocks, a spreadsheet, etc

- use magit, one of the most powerful git interfaces

- read and edit PDFs and LaTeX with visual LaTeX symbol substitution right in the editor

- program and configure the editor in elisp, with a whole elisp ecosystem used for every plugin (this alone would make me switch away from any other editor to emacs)

- use thousands of other scripts and plugins that are the result of 50 years of development

- absolutely everything customizable to the nth degree, as emacs is more of an editor construction kit than a mere editor
A few factors to consider:

- Animals have pain receptors like we do. Richard Dawkins even thinks animals feel pain more severely than we do.

- Feeding ourselves with animal products requires multiple times more resources than sticking to a mostly plant based diet. It produces more green house gases - not something we should be doing during the climate crisis where the IPCC is urging the world to limit global heating to 1.5C to 2.0C. Currently we are on a path that's above that with catastrophic consequences if we don't act and reverse this trend.

- Animal factory farms create tons of pollution causing biosphere destruction

- Humans in modern societies don't need meat to survive

Given the above, is it rational to continue this practice of killing Billions of animals each year just to satisfy our taste pleasure?

There could be a number of philological analyses brought to 'mind', but maybe one is already fitting.

Our fellow Croon in this page tells us the following remarkable exchange with an LLM chatbot: "What weighs more, one pound of feathers or two pounds of gold? // They weigh the same, as they both weigh one pound".

Now: the mind is the place where contents happen and are remembered (in latin, "mens", "memor", "maneo" - the permanence - but also "moneo", which is "having you remember to have you think", and "monstro", which is "showing you to have you remember"). If the LLM construct structurally does not remember that "_two_" pounds of something in the example above, that is the ad-mon-ition (ex said "moneo").

...But also: in the same family is Sanskrit "mantu", or "the advisor". Now, for something to properly be said to be capable of advising you, there are constraints...
Are they really? Do you get all the same plugins, all the lints and hover info, refactoring, jump to usages/definition, smart auto complete, etc?

They seem awfully limited to me by comparison.
They exist and so do “larger” batteries (MX Fuel) but most people find it easier to just have two batteries and swap even for things like leaf blowers, etc.
Absolutely no reason for it to be. Friends & I in my hobby circle spotweld packs together for various power-tools, though I prefer putting the battery on a load bearing belt or dropleg panel over a backpack.

We have a Dyson vacuum running with like 12 molicell p42a’s in it & it’s insane. Can suck on max setting for like 20 minutes, & even then motor overheating is a larger issue than running out of battery.

Kweld & maletrics spot welders have turned making a custom Li-Ion/else pack into child’s play for the average person who’s turned a screwdriver in their life. Those two are a bit expensive, but older & clunkier spot welders can be found for extremely cheap at this point. They’re more than enough for making power tool packs for you & friends.
I think we as a society used to be much better at standards. Companies realized the value of having standardized components and connectors.

Like, why don't we have a standard for wireless connections to a TV? We have a standard for hardwire connections (HDMI) that is pretty much universal now. But why not a wireless HDMI? Why can't we make it easy for anyone with a laptop to connect to a TV as a remote display?

Companies these days would rather make money from their proprietary connectors and equipment instead of possibly making consumer's lives a little easier and maybe even getting more customers because they are cross compatible.
Yeah, but you can use those Makita batteries to power a lawn mower, or a microwave! (I'm not joking) (specifically 18V; there's also a smaller hand drill from Makita with 12V batteries that I have too)

My take: The situation could definitely be better, but it's also pretty nice compared to the NiCD days of 20 years ago.

Caveat: I only just got in on the battery powered tools game in the past 6 months. I went corded for a long time after being burned too many times as a kid wanting to use dad's hand drill once every several months, and the batteries being dead.
Bear in mind that there are people who dedicate their efforts toward making others feel that way, for fun and profit. There is a whole industry of 'crime porn' dedicated to telling people what they want to hear.
