"Worse, I'm already kind of dissatisfied with the iMate - it doesn't distinguish left and right for Alt/Shift/etc."

This may be a limitation of the keyboard itself. I remember looking into low level keyboard remapping over a decade ago in OS X (via ~/Library/Keyboards), and I have a vague memory of reading what was at the time an ancient piece of Apple reference material that some keyboards do not distinguish between left and right modifier keys.

Yeah... The thing is, the current UI isn't really good for small screens, so when we teamed up with Google to bring Krita to Android and ChromeOS, we only targeted large-screen devices.

We are trying to add a UX suitable for small-screen devices, but... Google changes Android so often and so weirdly that the guy working on Krita on Android pretty much spends all his time chasing those changes instead of designing a small-screen friendly UI.

> I think these are the wacky keyboards where they had the "D" and "K" keys marked with a nub to indicate home keys. Drove me crazy enough that I'd deface them by shaving off the original nub and put a "proper" ridge into the f and j keys.

I have these caps on my keyboard and I can confirm this. I think I actually like it since it helps my muscle memory type one way on my laptop and another on my vertical staggered external keyboard. I bought an original for the caps and switches. Almost all the switches had been desoldered and replaced with Alps compatible Matias click switches which weren't even soldered in. Stinks. Could have raised a stink but whatever.
This is very good

My dad had a, to teenage me, embarrassing habit of asking less-than-full tables at busy restaurants (mostly tables that looked like they'd just been seated, only drinks or maybe appetizers) if they would like some company and conversation.

It got us an invitation surprisingly often, skipping a long wait or a walk to another restaurant, and made for some interesting table talk at the same time.

I think the difference is the forced separation. Most people go with friends, family, groups, what not. If you go alone you are the outsider. Forcing everyone to go by themselves opens up true "stranger" vacations.
Military application of AI drones isn't even the worst possible use, it's nations using them to completely subjugate their own population(although the same tech could be used against non-peer nations). Combination of things like Gorgon Stare to direct smaller AI controlled drones like what they are using in Ukraine would be a police state nightmare.

You're twisting words. Tipping is not the problem here, it's the cryptocurrencies. If you can't see how people mistrust them then you're probably deeply invested in them yourself.

As long as there is no real value in the real world it will remain inflated by confidence, which reeks of scam. And no one pizza place here or a bitcoin atm there does not make a difference. So far the only real goods and services crypto has traded at scale are on an illegal black market.
> I don't get the scenario you're imagining. Each friend goes away for a week 1-2 times per school year and that's somehow catastrophic?

No, they're saying that there's nobody else for them to play with while on vacation.

Some people, particularly with younger kids, plan vacations that have some sort of child care component to them, which gives the kid opportunity to socialize with other kids their own age (and also gives the parent some free time to do things that they can't do while taking care of their kids). Some hotels offer this as part of the package, as do cruise ships, etc.
The twitchy multiplayer game I played the most was Destiny 2, and I didn't observe any worse lagging than on Steam with the same internet connection. I can't remember if Destiny on Stadia was cross-platform - it very well could be that all my opponents were also on Stadia too, and were therefore equally hampered.

Ok, let’s say instead he decides to label every journalist that published a “pro-vaccine” article with a “has published articles that promote vaccines” tag on their profile instead. He makes no modifications to anybody else’s profile.

This statement is factually correct, does not infringe on anybody’s rights, and you’d have to be naive if it was not done with some kind of purpose.

To be clear, I am not accusing Elon of being transphobic or promoting an anti-vax agenda. I am highlighting how “it’s factually true” does not mean it is appropriate.

There you go. I cant help but wonder what would such people have achieved hadn't they been “freed” of their “burdens” by the “democratisation” of every aspect of free enterprise (coincidentally, communism also saw itself as a democratising force). I have a feeling those people would have lived a free and independent life as a small business owner with employees that looked forward to working with them.

You actually fit the bill - almost exactly - to a friend of mine who returned his Quest 2 just a few weeks ago. He was so excited for it to arrive that he took the day off of work just to be sure he was there to receive the package.

He spend a total of about 2 hours in it before deciding it was not for him. Frankly, I respect his decision because that's better than leaving it on the shelf for months and months like most of my other friends.

I agree with you that someday VR may reach a point where the barrier-to-entry is low enough to captivate the general public. If you ask me, comfort is the #1 issue. People's issues range from nausea, to face discomfort, to (if im being honest) straight up laziness and/or disability. Some people would rather binge netflix on a couch for 3 hours than stand up in a room physically moving around.

If Meta can't fix the comfort issues, I pretty much never see VR breaking out of it's niche following. It's got to somehow get to a level where it's as comfortable and convenient as sitting on a couch. Long, long way to go.

Anyways, my top VR experiences is an easy list to assemble. I use my VR for games so... not sure there will be an intersection with your interests since you mention museums and such, but here it is:

• Half Life Alyx

• Beat Saber

• Walk About Mini Golf

• Dirt Rally 2.0 (with physical pedals, shifter, wheel)

• Ghosts of Tabor (Early Access)

• Vertigo 1 / 2

• Into the Radius (STALKER clone in VR)

• POPULATION:ONE (Battle Royale, kinda like Fortnite)

• Edge of Nowhere (Excellent third-person game)

• Demo (Table top RPG)

• STORMLAND

• Lone Echo 1 & 2
3 truths:

1. Most Americans aren't good with money.

2. If you know someone will start bidding much too high, low-ball them first.

3. The tourist is a universally hated abomination that deserves to be lightened of its burden.
I guess my point was given my limited knowledge, it doesn't seem as though heat-seekers are necessarily any less fallible than humans. I'm not suggesting that "no worse than a human" should be the goal, but I'd say that's the bare minimum.
On the contrary, it might be crucial for the working class that is growing more isolated by the day and prevent a lot of the negative socialization you're referencing. Which imo stems from a lack of experience of handling conversations (we really do not get enough practice outside of people we already have lots of common ground with, ie our friends), and also an increased sensitivity from this isolation "choice".
What are "vacation tickets"?
I mean, lots of things we could do but don't because of who actually runs this country. The US is an oligarchy by most definitions.
There's a bunch (Well, a lot) of people at all ages who unironically think that we've reached some kind of end of history, and that our current state of society resembles some kind of maximum.

They are generally unable to engage with good-faith criticisms of the parts of it that don't work.

Don't let it get to you.
With nearly 1000% inflation since 1958, that's $125k in today's money.
This is what my family did in the '90s. In the beginning, it was easy: we handed the teachers a note and we were on our way. As I got older, the school was less cooperative, and focused on boosting attendance statistics. The ability of parents to request excused absences slowly declined.

Just another casualty of Goodhart's law, it would seem.

This is perhaps a controversial opinion, but at least when it comes to haggling I think this is fine.

The wealth gap between traveling Westerners and the average local in countries like Mexico and Peru is staggering. I recently did a 5 week trip in South America with my (South American) partner and my attitude was to generally just accept whatever price we were quoted rather than bargain down. E.g. for a 2 hour taxi in Cusco you could bargain from $20 down to $15 if you tried, but as someone who earns 6 figures in the US it seemed morally reasonable to not bother (and less stressful too IMO).

Air defense has had automatic targeting since the 1980s(?) due to the required reaction times.

As for autonomous target/kill programs, that'd be the USAF's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program (under NGAD).

It sounds like they're keeping human-in-the-loop for now by targeting a 1:many manned_stealth:drone ratio, but that will be subject to erosion as autonomous capabilities improve.

And the very nature of the mission requires autonomy -- drones penetrating deep into sophisticated air defense systems using stealth and emissions control (so only line-of-sight communication links). Nobody is going to be remotely piloting these things.

These examples highlight the deficiencies of the Soviet economy, and it's evident that such failures caused considerable suffering among the population. Nevertheless, given more time to engage in activities akin to the first two examples, and separated from the threat of malnourishment, I believe I would experience greater happiness and a stronger connection to both my food and community. Through shared struggle, bartering, and communal work, we can create a sense of connection that is absent from the isolation brought about by specialization, which, although more economically efficient, also contributes to the social problems present in western society.
This still leaves a ton unanswered, though it's a pointer in the right direction.

We still can't fully account for the way smells with certain structures smell "similar", despite having different overall shapes. There is a theory that does account for it, using the magnetic resonance of the atoms... except that the theory requires an nuclear resonance receptor in your skull with zero evidence for it.

If you want that, write that in to your employment contract. No government entity forces credits to be on a movie. They are there because they're part of the contract.

I've seen games do this, they list the developers, artists, designers, etc... As part of the game credits and not just adventure. Make it part of your employment negotiating if it's an important factor.

Usually there's 2 reasons to do it. First you're a well known name and having your name there will increase profits. This allows you to demand higher pay for your name and better placement. Second you're a nobody but you want to be somebody so attaching your name allows you to build up industry credit.

Read the story about Hard Dean Anders for a funny contract about credits.
No, you learn a lot about how illiberal governments treat foreign visitors from wealthy western countries, and how they leverage their power to control what you as a tourist see and hear.

The first country you list is the DPRK, who are famed for carefully stage-managing any visit by western tourists.

If you want an honest view of those places, you have to speak with people who aren’t risking their lives or livelihoods if they tell you the truth.
I don't have the immediate texts at hand but I cite sources in my guide about taking time off in Germany. The law is very unambiguous about what vacations are for. A nice example is that if you get sick during your vacation, it counts as sick days and you can use your vacation days at a later time.

My guides about sick leave and sabbaticals just add a bit of context. Sick days are really well protected.

>I've seen Chomsky argue that LLMs can't regurgitate his linguistical theories

When has he said this? For the most part I feel Chomsky has been misunderstood when it comes to LLMs. As best as I can tell what Chomsky has said is that LLMs do not provide any insight into how language works, it's not really a scientific advancement so much as it's an engineering breakthrough.

The fact that LLMs exist and can mimic natural language does not in anyway give us insight into how humans construct language. People have been able to construct objects that can produce natural language for close to 100,000 years, but that doesn't mean that those people understood the nature of that language.
It's simpler than this. Yudkowsky feels threatened by LLMs because they currently have superhuman "bullshitting" capabilities, and that threatens his bottom line. The marginal cost of producing Harry Potter fanfics has been reduced to ~$0.
I think there is not a distinction being made between "time-off" and "vacation" - the author seems to be focused entirely on travel destinations and resorts.

I'm also considering moving to a low carb approach instead of keto. Only reason i stayed in ketosis for so long is it's actually quite pleasant and from what i can tell from studies it increases GABA in the brain which is a godsend when you're struggling emotionally.
Thanks for the suggestions fellow human.
I'll concede rudeness as it's perceptive and not intrinsic in this case; I apologize for the timbre of my approach.

My stance is more of one rooted in individualism and self-advocation, i.e. if you're dedicated to a job that's considered a full time commitment, that's the social construct. We're not in a society post-labor, idealistic techtopia yet, and that transition if it occurs will be painful and bloated.

The reality is if you want the future of work when, how, where you want, then you have to recognize, admit and accept that your mental model of "employee/employer" relationship has to shift. You must not be the one exchanging what you are claiming to be your most precious asset - unburdened time - to the employer. There is no sense in continuing to enslave yourself to the constructs of yore. It is, ostensibly, within your control and power to become the master of your domain. Of course, this is going to look very catered to your particular requirements and value-adding skillsets.... do you have a set of diverse skills that can be leveraged into one-to-many income streams?

Why should the organization, that which agrees to give you quite a generous offer by any standard on a global measure, be responsible for ensuring the rest of your life is as you desire? You are the captain of the ship on this journey, only you are in control of the choices you make.

Truth is if your employer wanted to you be happy they would give you a full pension and send you on your way.

They want your labor, intelligence, work product, but it's all the same. They want your TIME.

Build businesses. Choose lifestyles that reduce dependency on extrinsic systemic operational uptime. Expose your raw value to the world as you decide and don't undermine your only static asset in life - time. It's incredible how variable the dollar-amount people set on their hours. . .

> Our concern would be that a professional educator would not only work for the district, but the district would also be their landlord

Employer:

* we don't want to wages in an amount to let the worker afford healthcare on his own, so we'll just tie the worker's health-insurance to his job.

* We don't want to pay wages in an amount that would let the worker afford housing on his own, so we'll tie the worker's housing to his job.

* Next step: We don't want to pay wages in an amount to let the worker afford necessities on his own, so we'll create a company store where he'll be able to buy things with our new innovative wage/credit scheme that will tie necessities to his job.

The implementation of this idea is terrible, one that will hold a further Damocles sword over the laborers, and if widely implemented, will absolutely be used against workers in future labor-disputes. We already have the history to show that. Your employer should not control your access to life-necessities.
