True dat. My neighbor threw some potato peelings into her compost heap, and later used that compost to fertilize her roses. Lo and behold, she had potatoes growing between the roses a couple months later.
Does it say anywhere on that web site WTF fNIRS is?

"OpenfNIRS is driven by the community to support the community in the use of fNIRS."

Edit: They sort of mention it, apparently en passant, on https://openfnirs.org/standards/:

"Shared Near Infrared Spectroscopy Format (SNIRF) is designed by the community in an effort to facilitate sharing and analysis of NIRS data."
If you look at the GitHub announcement in the looking ahead section it says this:

That's really good and thanks for responding to the question. I think I could be tempted to try a service like this for a future project.

I'm guessing the password hash format is something like bcrypt2? Is there an API for that? The feature quite nicely mitigates a situation where prices are unreasonably raised, but to mitigate a rug-pull event such as a business failure, malicious action or serious technical failure I'd probably want to automate this.

If that sounds like I'm sort of paranoid, it's probably because I am. I do this with all my company's cloud data.

It was a while ago, but IIRC you only owe taxes on the pre-tax contributions (which, in this case was $0). But I couldn't make a post-tax contribution directly to a Roth, just a post-tax contribution to a traditional, then convert...

> very capable models

Well that's the problem though, those models don't come any close to being useful at all. At least not yet. And they also run much slower.

As compute increases in general, there will be larger and more capable state of the art models and it'll make more sense to just use those instead of trying to run some local one that won't give you any useful answers. Data centers will always have a few orders of magnitude more horsepower than your average laptop, even with some kind of inference accelerator card.
> the world's bottom billion already have skills worth very close to $0

This is the context of the response you were commenting on. There is a distinction between "this person is earning close to $0 because they are living in a poorly functioning country and economy" vs "this person's skills are worth close to $0". The latter implies that even if that person moved to another country, they wouldn't possess any skills worth paying $7/hour. Which is false.

For perspective, if you took Bill Gates and parachuted him into an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon, they would consider him to be useless. But few would agree with an absolute statement that "Bill Gates has no valuable skills."
Wages are not based on absolute productivity but rather on relative productivity. If engineers will become 10x more productive, all companies with engineers will have this boost, hence the relative productivity stays the same.

Think about an operator of a machine in a factory. If the machine is 10x more productive than the operator on its own, will the operator get paid 10x more? I don't think so, because the competing companies also have 10x the productivity. Prices of produced goods will drop but that will not lead to 10x more consumption.
I did not really like how fast and loose with history you were, so I will just say that they did not clean up their act on their own, but were forced to. Many things have been forced on the states judicially, brown v board of education, baker v Carr/wesberry v sanders/reynolds v sims all forced more equitable voting schemes(ie, handling gerrymandering) etc are some easy examples I could think of for how your idea that the states figured themselves out is a misconception.

I'm no native speaker, so correct me if I'm wrong here. I think "knus" is a much better translation of "cosy", and in some instances knus and gezellig can be used as synonyms. As far as I can tell "cosy" is generally associated with warmth, while that's not necessarily a requirement for something to be gezellig.

- I don't think you can say someone has a cosy personality

- I don't think you can say "how cosy for you to be here" or "let's keep it cosy in here" when the mood is turning sour

- I don't think you would call going shopping with a group of friends cosy

- I'm not sure if you can have a cosy conversation, but maybe you can?

I have a pretty ok Google spreadsheet foo, bit over the last 3 years it stagnated as I knew everything I needed to know to do what I need to do. Some improvement here and there with some Googling here and there.

One major problem with these descriptions of inverted totalitarianism is how subject they become to ideological preference, even by those who create them. Note that Sheldon Wolin came up with his definition in 2003 during the hysterical Bush years (hysterical on the part of both the government with its war on terror justifications and by the progressive left for styling Bush as a new Hitler).

Would he have applied the same label to the same things under Obama later? After all, the later president expanded on nearly everything Bush did and took it to new levels. Trump after him did the same thing in many ways too.

In all cases, criticism is often divided along ideological lines against tendencies that can be used in either direction with just as much evil or authoritarian intent, and this selective blindness by critics becomes idiotica and absurd.
Why wouldn't it? There are already tools that claim to do some of these as independent tasks.

A few months back, I had my account of ten years banned for something I never bothered looking into. I've used the site probably a dozen times since then, using site:reddit.com.

Reddit was as close as I got to social media, and it sucked. The longer I spend apart from it, the more alien and irrational the ideas seem. People repeating themselves over and over in every thread, all it takes is one prompt for the conversations to derail - it's like a poorly tuned 7B LLM.

I knew it was "awful", but I guess I'd developed an immunity to it. They're doing future models a great service by limiting their API.

The connection I see is something like "imaginary tribalism". The members of an audience form a one-sided sense of belonging that distorts their behaviors.

The mechanism seems to be the "media" part. All the promotional content is blasted out at scale in a way that triggers this false or amplified sense of social engagement. It's not the social part of social media that hurts, so much as the media platform part that enables so many promoters to thrive.

All in good faith, I believe that receiving assistance from ChatGPT is far more useful than looking up snippets on a search engine. Instead of delving through semi-appropriate snippets, I can concisely describe what I need in one or two sentences and ChatGPT typically provides an accurate result, unless the query is opinion-based, complex, or obscure. I am not expecting perfect code since I take it upon myself to polish the output.

I am now experimenting with ChatGPT parsing our own historical documentation, such as API references, and even basic markdown notes. When it comes to API endpoints I can get 80-90% accurate boilerplate. Admittedly, ChatGPT cannot provide assistance in understanding unexpected behavior, unless perhaps it is due to a misunderstanding of the language. And, though it is true that resolving API endpoint issues can be a time-consuming task, this does not negate the time savings that ChatGPT can provide in other situations.

I would urge you to try it out in your own workflow before calling shots on if the usefulness is negligible or not. And even then, I'd say not every tool is for everyone. This thing is really helping me out and I'm seeing long-term viability for it in my workflows.
Stupid use of funds for the most part, it's not re-invested in the country, just the American stock market. It's not like they had to buy solid gold rolls royces, but there's no reinvestment internally other than oil and fish. Norway is a hedge fund with the F-35.
You realise this is fearmongering on AI right? It's literally trying to find anything that AI might be connected with as "bad" to paint AI in a negative light. I'm sure you can/are hiding behind "well readers can draw their own conclusions".

I'd hardly conclude that email as an "incident". There's incidents every day of people using technology and screwing up - we don't have a "Reply-AllIncidents.com"

It's a bit irrelevant to me what other path than empire could have been taken, because I wasn't around in the 1840s to suggest that Manifest Destiny was maybe a terrible idea for a nation with a cultural mythology wrapped in small-community independence. I'm interested in what we can do now that we're a country of over 300 million people that spans a continent and won two world wars.

And I'm ill-convinced that fascists are kept at the margins by individualism. Fascists appeal to and weaponize national mythological ideologies; the "self-made man" is every bit as weaponizable as the übermensch, especially if, say, failure of collectivist-minded policy in the face of an adherence to a "you are paid the money you deserve the money" mythology has allowed the delta between the extremes and the averages in society to grow to such a level that those who believe they should be the inheritors of the self-made-man mantle bust their asses for 40+ hours a day and can't afford rent. It is then the fascist comes to them and says "You would be as great as destiny says you should be, but for..." and makes up an enemy, always one with not enough power to fight back (so rarely, for example, the people who have all the money).

> Forcing (via education policy) ideologically opposed communities to "accept" trans people

... is every bit the same as forcing them to accept the Irish and the black person and the Christian, or to learn state capitols, or to recite the Constitution; no more and no less. They live in America they get with the program. The program is their neighbors are their neighbors and that which they do that harms no-one is of no concern.
I don't think so, no. Search engines as we have known them are in their final hours. I make this prediction with high confidence
Developer: "Hi neighbor, would you like me to build a house so that someone can live in it? Do keep in mind that it would increase housing supply in your area, thus increasing supply and putting downward pressure on your property's value. That okay?"

Neighbor: "No, thank you!"
This has been my experience as well, consistently. It's similar a phenomenon attributed to news: it's confident, and sounds plausible until the topic is on something you know, then you realize it's full of errors.

I don't trust ChatGpt to teach me something new; when I ask it about topics I do know about, it answers in a way that's a mix of correct, incorrect, and borderline/misleading information; all mixed with a confident tone. Based on this, I wouldn't use it to learn information or solve a problem where I don't already have a solid grasp on the material.

For what it's worth, I oversimplified. The calculus is not so simple as that but that certainly goes into it (I believe to your point: "There are workplaces toxic enough to be worth leaving"). If I need to work extra hard to distinguish myself for a hope at receiving some benevolence -- simply being able to keep my job is considered benevolence in this case -- I'll understand that I am in a workplace that is toxic enough to be worth leaving.

Not being laid-off is still a hope which doesn't do anything to alleviate the unpredictability of a return for my effort. But I can make my own return. I will do my job well enough that I can tell someone with a straight face that I can do what they need me to do. I can predict that return. That is my security for the potential that I need to find a new job.
You do, and this is why the FAA makes you put EXPERIMENTAL in big letters in the cockpit. If you want proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the plane is safe, get a certified aircraft.

IMO the FAA strikes an excellent balance between allowing people to make crazy flying contraptions that can be dangerous, yet also keeping the civilian flying population safe. One place where there can be some unanticipated risk though is, like in this case, a homebuilt aircraft that's sold to a non-builder.

In any case though, in my opinion, the primary cause of the accident was not the fuel selector, it was John Denver's lack of preflight. He took off with very little gas in the plane, and virtually none on the tank he had selected for takeoff.
