Any hot food has the potential to cause burns and the specifics matter a lot.

In this particular case there isn't even an agreement what the temperature was: "the family’s lawyers argued the temperature was above 200 degrees (93°C), while the defense said it was no more than 160 degrees (71°C)". That's a big difference.

I couldn't find any regulation on minimum serving temperature in the US, but in the Netherlands it's 60°C/140°F – note this is the minimum; in practice it's reasonable to expect that most meats are served between 60 and 70°C (140-160°F).

So, if McDonalds is right and "it was no more than 160 degrees" then they probably didn't do much wrong, but if the family is right and "the temperature was above 200 degrees" they probably did.

It's also not clear to me what exactly happened in the first place; how did the burns occur? The statement "nuggets were not meant to be pressed between a seat belt and human flesh for more than two minutes" seems to imply they were tucked between the seatbelt? That seems like to have a high potential to cause burns even at reasonable temperature levels. But another article talks about "a piece of chicken fell on her daughter’s leg", which is a very different thing.

With no clear picture of what happened it's very hard to say anything meaningful. This make the case quite a bit different from the coffee one, where everyone agreed on the basic facts of the case but disagreed on whether the temperature was reasonable or not.
BTW I love "crazy suspicions" they oft prove true///
Yea, they also added a 20fps limiter in certain cases when the hardware is pushed to its limits. Super unfortunate, and honestly, I'd be hard pressed to believe that it helps.

Nonetheless, the game performs loads better than BotW ever did. Quite a feat for such old metal.
Strangely, in my early twenties, I was very afraid of dying, for all the things I could have done, and all the things I never understood or felt, and so on.

I was lucky to meet and marry a wonderful person that helped me push through all the obstacles I imagined were between me and all those things (I mention them because I would never have done all I did without their presence), and I started doing all the things I would've missed if I were dead.

Being around 30 now, I've done so much more than most people I've met, and than I imagine I would in a lifetime when I was 20, that I feel comfortable with my life. I know that I have not wasted my time, and I'm proud of all I've done and am still doing.

Things like aneurysms and car accidents happen to everyone, and I don't fool myself - I could die in 15 minutes slipping out of the bath - but I'm fine with myself, at this point at least.

(I'm sorry this is probably not very interesting, I'm letting myself ramble a little.)

The open-source AI boom is built on Big Tech’s handouts. How long will it last?
This narrative has been pushed for several years now with the likes of Habana, Cerebras, SambaNova, Graphcore, Tesla Dojo, etc.

And yet none of them seem to have made any dent in Nvidia’s dominance. None of them have any real presence on industry-standard MLPerf benchmarks (not even TPU releases all benchmarks and they started the damn benchmark).

The truth is that making an AI chip isn’t as simple as putting a bunch of matmuls together in a custom ASIC and pointing a driver at it; there’s hard work and optimization the entire stack down, many of which aren’t even focused on the math part.

So while I don’t doubt that some competitors (AMD?) will gain decent market share eventually, Nvidia’s probably not going to be displaced so easily.
Lasers also have issues. I had a laser my last printer but had issues with the imgaging drum and other parts. Eventually tonor ended up on some of the rollers and the printer was basically useless at this point.

I bought an epson workforce back some years ago. When it had printing issues i was able to do some cleaning runs and reslove. I have used ink quite a bit over time. But probably not nearly as much as the imaging drum, rollers and other parts i ended up swapping trying to stop the darkened prints on my main machine. The original laser was about 400 bucks, inkjet like 89.99. I dont think i spent more on the inkjet, even after the swaps.
You're just further perpetuating whataboutism. The point is that yes, it happened, but it's distracting from the topic at hand.
If you're completely confident that there's no way an attacker might get their text into your user's LLM session then yeah, you have nothing to worry about.

Potential vectors to consider:

- Your app lets users run it against text from other sources - fetched web pages, incoming messages - server logs - which an attacker might be able to influence

- Your users can copy and paste text into your app - and an attacker might be able to trick them into eg copying in a dozen paragraphs of text without first reading it to check for weird hidden prompt instructions

Somberness and relevance aside, I can feel the disappointment in it, the writing is beautiful and a work of poetry.

I'm ultra curious about this because I'm pretty much fully transitioned to Linux, and youtube serves me FreeBSD gaming videos now :). What are we linux users missing out on not using BSD?

Also, my understanding is BSD's philosophy even prevents the development of wifi drivers (I could be totally wrong, feel free to correct me, especially since the article says the author had... wifi drivers?). Meanwhile the only the pretty much cutting edge Linux Kernel supports realtek wifi devices.
What if? That's almost certainly what happened.
At my undergraduate school (Caltech) almost all exams were take home. At my law school there was only one take home exam.

I definitely found take home less stressful. Back in those days I was very much not a morning person. With take home I could take the test at a time of day when I was at peak alertness which often occurred at around midnight. For most tests there were several days between when the test was handed out and when it was due, so I could order the tests so that I could take the ones I needed more preparation for at the end of finals week.

With in class tests they might occur when I'm less alert, and they might schedule the subjects I need the most prep time for early in the week and the ones I don't need prep for late in the week.
Lead and other heavy metals, including cobalt. It allows water to be made potable and also effectively mines the water for metals that are in short supply.

Cobalt is toxic to humans. It's also used in the production of lithium-ion batteries and in short supply:

A common ingredient in lithium-ion batteries, cobalt is energetically expensive to mine and accompanied by a laundry list of environmental and human costs.
I wanna know how did they did it and how they got found out. Is it as simple as a VPN + bots?

I bought a Canon (model LBP612C/613C) color laser printer 3 years ago and have been using 3rd party toner. The prints are great and I've never had a problem. Prior to that I used a Brother b&w laser, also used 3rd party toner, and never had an issue with that one either.

Just so you know, overclocking also voids warranties regardless of manufacturer or vendor recommendations. This includes AMD EXPO[1][2] and Intel XMP[3][4].

If you want warranty coverage, don't overclock no matter how much the marketing encourages you.

[1]: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/expo

[2]: Overclocking and/or undervolting AMD processors and memory, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate outside of AMD’s published specifications will void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when enabled via AMD hardware and/or software.

[3]: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/extreme-memor...

[4]: Altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components, and may reduce system stability and performance. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications. Check with the manufacturers of system and components for additional details.
Interestingly the actual judgement is significantly higher (still single digit millions). I dont really know what a "Statement of Financial Condition" is but I assume it means they are taking basically all the money these companies + their directors have.

These are not big operations, they were charging 7c a "lead", so each company made ~100k, and the CEO was running the script to send fake data himself.
The shade can be controlled with tracking panels. Full shade at noon when photosynthesis stops due to heat to preserve water, less at other times.

The PV can also perform a nitrogen fixing role via electrolysis and ammonia production.

On a broader scale it can lead to the land being habitable at all by driving a coal or gas generator out of business.

Not better, but more likely to be deployed.
Are you really positing that the NY State AG was colluding across four years of time with the Trump administration's FCC? That's getting a big beyond "jaded" and into tinfoil territory, to be honest.

No, there's no collusion here. These are just state laws that are insufficient to compel the behavior we want. She got what she could and called it a victory. But a very progressive AG is clearly not in the pocket of the internet content industry.
Not open source, so not much of an alternative.
The fact that this phenomenon is only really seen in the US is enough on its own to conclude that this is an American political or social problem.
I stayed the night on the USS Hornet either for a field trip of some sorts during the late 90s. Really neat place, if you’d never been on (or seen) an aircraft carrier, I would encourage anyone to check it out as it’s a docked museum open to the public. If I have guests and were in the area, I will take my visitors there too.

They had a the dimensions of give containment chamber on the floor that the Apollo astronauts had to quarantine in, but was disappointed that this thing wasn’t on the floor of the Hornet[0]. It looked like if you built a mid-century airstream camper on a cargo container frame base. However, they have Apollo 14’s MQF on display now.

The hornet is also supposedly very haunted.

I remember reading this book and there were 3 paragraphs of philosophical value in the whole book. This is one of those three paragraphs. I found the book very disappointing. "The meaning of life is to live every moment as if it had meaning?" That is a thesis which felt foreign and useless. I felt no closer to meaning after reading that book.

It was in a self help psychology book that I thought communicated the core idea of meaning and purpose the best: Meaning == Feeling

The author (I believe of: running on empty) made the statement that a struggle to find purpose is the same thing as a struggle to feel and that life's purpose is to feel. Feelings are the fuel for our lives. So those with blunted emotions obviously feel no sense of purpose because the purpose of life is to feel emotions.

Struggling with a lack of meaning is the same thing as struggling to feel. If you knew what would make you feel, it would obviously be meaningful to interact with that.

Bringing this idea back to Frankl, his work becomes much more accessible: The purpose of life is to live every moment with feeling. Finding meaning means seeing what makes you feel.
What do N/S and O/S stand for?

In your example if you have a Spanish car (steering wheel on left hand side of car from driver perspective) driven on UK road (lane on left side of road from driver perspective) then it is still LHD as the left hand refers to the position of the steering wheel relative to the car. This doesn’t change.
Your anecdote is definitely better than all of the science showing quality and yield improvements.

Talking about the truth is not a distraction. You are being taken for a ride. “No don’t look behind the curtain! It’s just a distraction!”

The healthy adult thing to do would be to own up to it and work on fixing the problem.

“Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”
I mean, the rhetoric for net neutrality was pretty extreme. According to the rhetoric of the time, we would be living in a world of internet "fast lanes" right now if net neutrality didn't pass. Only services affiliated with the big greedy telcos were going to be given a pass while all the other services on the web were going to require additional fees to get adequate bandwidth to/from. That was a major fear mongering argument that hasn't come to pass. All the major tech sites were publishing the same rhetoric.
I’m not sure I understand. Is your definition of obsolete based on trade in value? What about resale value? What about functionality?

Despite constantly Googling for backup solutions and replacements for TimeMachine!

Side note: I recently put together a TrueNAS Scale based NAS box for TimeMachine.

It's running 5x 4TB drives, using ZFS RAIDZ1, and it's the best network multi-user TimeMachine destination I've ever used! (short of a large direct connected TB SSD)

It's much more responsive to browse and restore over my LAN than I'd have expected!

I was startled to recently discover that a local gastroenterologist has numerous excellent reviews on Google Maps by people talking about what a lovely colonoscopy they had, some of whom related the specific medical condition that brought them there. Never in a million years would I consider doing this either. It turns out people are pretty weird.
Do you have a similarly brief alternative?
When reading this question I just happened to recall a Soviet writer, who was Jewish, who I think did see the concentration camps and write about them but wasn't a victim of them.

But, this person didn't write in favor of communism despite being a writer in the Soviet Union. Their books were censored.

I found his book "Everything Flows" to be extremely interesting. It is a fictional account of a Soviet gulag survivor returning to his home, and reflecting on the people he meets and his life.

I’m sure there is a trade-off here:

- going hard on monetization will train you in how to… well, monetize and run a business

- just enjoying yourself is the most sustainable way to build things quickly and strike upon your magnum opus

The ideal is to have something fantastic you can live off.

The extremes are both “poor sap grinding away at mediocrity” but one poor sap is happier than the other.
Star Maker... A book so good, after reading it, I couldn't believe it was possible to write a book like that. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try, it's not that big. Arthur C Clarke and Stanislaw Lem cite it as an inspiration.
In human cells currently, proteins fail to fold in the presence of chemical derangement. In some cases, if you correct the pH balance or other chemical derangement, some denatured proteins will refold. Others will not.

We know close stars back 4 million years, and 5 million years in future. The closest known was 0.17 at 1.2 million years ago. That is close enough to disturb Oort Cloud but not be more than bright star.

I’m amazed that can go back that far with Gaia satellite data. There is a limit where the stars involved are too far away.

> If there's no guarantee that bash is located at /bin/bash, there's even less of a guarantee that env is located at /usr/bin/env.

i've seen way more systems that don't have a global /bin/bash than systems that don't have a /usr/bin/env

as an example, /bin/bash on macos is forever stuck at version 3.2.something, if i run across a bash script that uses crazy features like associative arrays, i definitely want it to use the modern version of bash i've installed to my $HOME/bin/bash
The takeaway of this parable isn’t that we should all become fishermen, it’s that we should slow down a bit and work to live instead of live to work.
I think English is also just the rehash of the same 2000-3000 words. The ability to meaningfully arrange those words in new ways and in longer sentences are what make the current LLMs so powerful. In that way, these protein models can still learn more from the new data but they will definitely need some sort of reinforcement learning and grounding. That is where wetlab scientists will have to do. Verifying the generated protein is functional and stable, i.e. "making sense", is where we will need more data.

Only a miniscule amount of protein has verified structure and function. While an HMM can predict their functions pretty well based on homology, it can often be wrong. Having that kind of noise in the training data can degrade the performance of these protein models. Perhaps we need better curated dataset before we can scale these up.
So basically existentialism with bipolar disorder...

>As the ThinkPad T490 was released Lenovo needed to rethink their naming convention as the next one could have been ThinkPad T4100 (like 100 is after 90) or something different as T500 was already taken by older model … their new naming scheme is not bad – definitely better then their idea of newer keyboard layout after ditching the 7-row keyboard from 2011 and earlier models.

I've been wondering what Nvidia is going to when As the ThinkPad T490 was released Lenovo needed to rethink their naming convention as the next one could have been ThinkPad T4100 (like 100 is after 90) or something different as T500 was already taken by older model … their new naming scheme is not bad – definitely better then their idea of newer keyboard layout after ditching the 7-row keyboard from 2011 and earlier models.they either debut the generation after the presumable 90 series or increase their models by a magnitude of 10 with the presumable Path Tracing (PTX?) series... will the midtier card be the 10700 or the 10070?
Yeah I mean without looking into specifics of what criminal laws would or wouldn’t be applicable, that definitely seems like something the CEO should do a bit of prison time for.
I live in a flyover state, bought a Tesla in 2020. In my area they’ve added barely any new Superchargers at all since I bought the car.

I’m sure it’s different in CA/TX/NY, but I’ve been really surprised at how stagnant the charging network has been. I would take a hard look at at the Supercharger network in your region as it exists today and assume that’s what exactly you’re going to have for the next 5 years. Don’t factor in future expansion.

I heard from n Planet Money story that 1 in 4 gen-z-ers want to be an influencer because they want to receive free products or play videos games and get paid. Which is great but the thing they don’t realize is they would be running a business and everything, including the parts they think is the main focus of the business, becomes second to actually maintaining the business.

Not trying to be disparaging to Gen-Z, that’s just an example of a mental trap we fall into. We tend to underestimate the time and effort of the things we don’t want to do and overestimate the time we will spend and then resulting enjoyment of the thing that we fine the most pleasurable.

This is why certain hobbies of mine will stay “pure” hobbies for me. The moment I start doing it for money and I’m the one doing business opts too, it becomes so much less fun, which was the point of me getting into that hobby.
