> The original Tradgedy of the Commons paper that much modern economic theory rests upon

None of modern economic theory rests upon that paper. Literally the only thing that rests on it is the name of a scenario in game theory, and... it’s not even the dominant name, just an alternate for Prisoner’s Dilemma.

(A lot of social science, and not just economics, applies that scenario, but that doesn’t rest on the paper, but on rational choice theory, or some variation thereon.)
You can dump the burning phone into them. The gasses are probably worse than the initial fire.

4 gigabytes per second? Ok, and no.

Sixel is defined for two purposes: the first is to allow display of bitmaps. the second is to allow the definition of characters glyphs (which xterm does NOT have -- due to graphics limitations). If the glyph definition could be done, your bandwidth requirement would be reduced. Back in the 80's we generated custom fonts for PostScript (the Apple laser printer PostScript would cache the glyphs). As needed, the printer would request glyps and these would be supplied by an external driver or box (we called this the "Robin Box" for fairly obscure reasons). This system provided pre-press proofing for many customers (which would include publishers like Ziff-Davis). Please note that the speed of the communication was 9600baud (1000 cps). The image of that printer was 300x300 dpi, with some printers doing 600x600. Sixel would have been good... we used ASCII.

I like sixel -- I use xterm which gives me the option. For everything? No. but if I need a graphic, it is easy enough to use. The alternative for most would be to simply generate PostScript, and run GhostScript to view the results (typically on another system). I have NEVER contemplated watching a video with sixel... I could do it, but the player would be a "labour of love" - I would use a common decoder to produce an uncompressed bitmap (scaling and colour reduction) then convert that into frames of sixel... Just to show StarWars on a 340. But, no urge.

The main issue is that sixel offers the feature. No real reason to NOT have it... and it exists.

Try pbmtoln03, ppmtosixel, imagemagick convert and lsix

sixel is not a protocol: just an encoding. Your idea conflates the two things.

The purpose of the Robin Box? The publishers typically had hundreds or thousands of typefaces. The PostScript Printer? 15 to 50. Since RAM in the printer was limited, this approach allowed the scanning of the target typeface, conversion to outline form and production of dynamic programs executing in the printer. That are discarded but results cached. (and note that
technology is within a period that, in this case, was bounded by RAM space, and typographic conventions -- all of which changed fairly rapidly).

That approach allowed hundreds of typefaces to be used on a single page! With "standard" PostScript; on a printer with only a megabyte or so of RAM available. Sixel is simply a similar tool. You really can't predict how something like would be used if it were generally available.
Similar funny story. There was a Dutch historian who announced that Putin would never attack Ukraine full scale and he did this the night before the invasion.

(Apart from that, I still respect the historian. He might not be the best, but he is a good storyteller.)

The Uber example seems like a stretch. If 28% of america uses it monthly, its probably comfortably a majority when you stretch to yearly (ie airport trips). Especially if you extend it to include Lyft.

Rideshare has comfortably replaced taxis, likewise Doordash + competitors have comfortably replaced the alternative (which for most of the country was pizza delivery).
> What do you do if they ARE delivering, but not delivering as much as they could be?

Isn't this the role of line-managers? Employees are happy to do more when adequately motivated (money, prestige, opportunity or being acknowledged). The problem is that employers want to maximize on employee potential without giving anything in return.
Honestly the proof of evidence that you can recall your memory state needs to be proven by you, as I don't believe any one has brought forth evidence of what you're suggesting.

Almost everything I've seen and read about this suggests the opposite. Activating memory changes memory. Intermediate events between the initial activation and the final questioning can also change those memories. And furthermore, that you are only aware of your conscious memories (and even most of that is forgotten) and that memory is accessed unconsciously all the time.

It's all post ad hoc.
Why are forum admins beholden to archive their data in perpetuity in case someone wants free advice or knowledge?

While the openness of the (now-ending) early days of the internet was liberating and allowed knowledge sharing on an unprecedented scale, the downside is the huge devaluing of that knowledge and skills.

No. The issue you're advocating for is coded in literally the opposite way as you suggest it is. The opponents of DEI are the principal opponents of inheritance taxation. Well-educated and/or top-quintile professionals are also drastically more likely to support inheritance taxation (as a consequence of 21st century educational polarization). I don't think there's any meaningful connection between institutional DEI and economic justice, but you can't just make things up to drag DEI into unrelated arguments.

Maybe others' experiences are different, but I find smaller models to work just as well for "reductive" tasks.

Dolly sucks for generating long-form content (not very creative) but if I need a summary or classification, it's quicker and easier to spin up dolly-3b than vicuna-13b.

I suspect OpenAI is routing prompts to select models based on similar logic.
Have you looked at 3rd party replacement pads? I've never seen a pair of headphones with removable pads that I couldn't get an aftermarket replacement for-- usually better quality than the factory ones. Big round ones, smaller ovular ones, memory foam, leather velour or whatever finishes... always managed to get something that fit. Just measured and looked for something close. They mostly seem to attach the same way.

Most recently, for a discontinued Audio Technica set that did not match any of the standard AT pads, I got replacements from Wicked Cushions.

I think I generally agree that the media often reports on its own feelings as though they represented the vox populi, when they don't. We all make that attribution error, but (good) journalists are expected to be more aware of it.

Another thing I think is generally true is that, even if people hate tech, ultimately tech is just giving them what they want. Nothing will change until what people want changes, and any hypothetical Techlash would be mostly performative in practice: bad publicity without real consequences.

Yes all that happens too, I was specifically referring to the issue that the inheritance exemption is so high that much of that has escaped much taxation.

I'm merely correcting an objectively incorrect claim: "The person who’s passsing the money down already paid tax on the money, whether income tax or capital gains tax."

I'm not advocating for increasing the estate tax (nor even necessarily closing the capital gains stepped-up-basis upon death). I am advocating for having our facts straight.

> Good guys? I don't think I said that, nor would I

> BRICS stands in a morally compromised position, relative to the West.

So, specifically what did you mean by all that when compared the west to... what exactly, an economic pact of completely culturally different countries?

I find that self-assigned supremacy in matters of climate change to be somewhat contrary to the fact that the West had pushed all the dirty production to the so called "third world states" (some happen to be BRICS) while still remaining the largest consumer, and then when faces with practical issues, engaged in fracking and reopened the coal mines. Do you honestly think you are the only ones who are bothered?

This attitude is counterproductive and dangerous. I am legitimately scared when western folks start that superiority trope.
They don't even offer that much VRAM on cards aimed at those price-insensitive customers, Nvidias current lineup maxes out at 48GB for GDDR-based models or 80GB for HBM-based models. Even if money is no object there's still practical engineering limits on how much memory they can put on a card without sacrificing bandwidth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptera_(solar_electric_vehicle...

The Aptera is not "a huge best of a car", it more resembles a seed pod on three wheels. The roof and hood area are quite limited due to this shape which leads to the relatively low solar yield.
If a huge fire breaks out on a plain mid flight, you realistically have no chance of survival right? So instead of trying to survive only to get burned to death you should inhale as much fumes as possible to pass out and die quickly before you are burned?
My simple tax take is that we should just treat all income streams as regular income, and have whatever progressive rate on that income and be done with it.

By creating different classifications of income and constantly tweaking the rules, we setup entire tax evasion industries catering to those who have control of their income streams & money to pay advisors.

There's lots of BS that estate tax exemptions are there to protect small farmers, but they constitute something like 0.002% of estate tax payers.
I don't think you can say with any certainty at all that "comfortably a majority" of Americans use Uber, especially given that relatively paltry 28% monthly. I understand some people use Uber infrequently, but I think you'll need something more substantial than anecdote to demonstrate that moves the needle more than a percentage or two overall.
This has been happening to me lately. It's absolutely insane behavior that had the potential to permanently damage my hearing.
> In other words, how do we (the employer) ensure our employees aren't moonlighting on our team and only giving the minimum level of effort with us?

..by evaluating their performance? Do you not regularly evaluate the performance of your employees? Or perhaps your performance evaluation process has implicitly relied on the sacred ritual of magical hallway conversations?

Anyways, I find this to be a tired, capitalist argument. The anti-remote argument often boils down to squeezing every ounce of productivity out of “human resources” (PC term for cogs). Let’s not get into how butts in seats never actually correlated with productivity.

That is not what non-profit means. It means that the IRS does not tax you. There are many different kinds of non-profits and none of them are required to balance income and expenses -- many save far more than they spend and some spend more than they save, they're simply not pulling profits out for investors.
It wasn't a quote. But, see the first sentence of the linked article for what I'm talking about.
We've come full circle as a society. Pressurized steam used to power everything, created by burning coal and wood. Then we went to oil based fuels for transportation and grid electricity and natural gas for most other energy needs.
Now we are back to pressurized battery electricity created by coal, gas, hydro.

Thermal runaway issues will increase as more lithium devices malfunction and age, as the endless electric scooter and other battery fires demonstrate.

I don't want this discussion to devolve into an FAA radio interference flame war but the risk from general consumer electronic/mobile devices on airplanes has been minimal and most instruments are well shielded against RF interference.

I would suspect most seasoned and knowledgeable pilots don't worry too much about Mr Businessman in first class on his iPhone or Tablet using 5G.

On the other hand I have seen more than one flight attendant absolutely lose their marbles because someone was texting during announcements or while taxiing.

Aside from the fact that someone talking on their phone during a flight would be terribly annoying, the biggest issue with active phones on airplanes was how it messed with ground cell towers. There was fair amount of handoff the towers had to do with traveling passengers at 30,000 feet. At least in the earlier days it was problematic to deal with. I'd love a wireless communications engineer to chime in on that part.

I think the takeaway consideration is to select products services and solutions that aren't predicated on an assignment of blame or responsibility, but based on your own accountable understanding of risk as it applies to business and processes.

Far too often are we outsourcing in order to avoid the difficult and often times very wholistic concern of risk and outcome. Blame serves no shareholder value but to abdicate leadership from their post.
It seems somewhat tragic to me that you believe “inhaling as much fumes as possible” would even be an option. Human psychology doesn’t really work like that.

What is your proposition here? That these incidents aren't actually occurring as reported, or that in air fires just aren't a big deal? Eventually such a fire will end in a disaster, we're really just playing with probability. In aviation a lot of investment is made in mitigating much less likely problems, but we seem to be happy to accept the proliferation of potentially dangerous devices I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it is interesting.
It also helps to sit on a good chair, which isn’t necessarily the most comfortable. I currently sit on a used front seat from some ~1995 Subaru, and it used to be horribly uncomfortable but it forced me so hard to face forward and upright that I eventually got used to, which likely is not too far from a correct posture. That implies how wrong I am to be on this prestigious forum - but it helped my posture far more than a comfortable chair that faithfully held my body at a “sack of potato” posture.

I'm not an expert, not a person with ADHD, nor an accomplished developer who manages to finish his projects constantly. I have a few ones going on for years and I struggle with the same issue both at work and outside of it. BUT lately things have improved, and by a very simple method: I keep a journal. Specifically, it's to record what I do daily, what I read, the projects I start, etc. Then, I keep a list of daily, monthly and yearly objectives, and at the beginning of each month I plan my goals, which are mostly projects I want to complete. I keep a list of open projects, sort them by priority and stuff them in there each month. It's not automatic thet I manage to work or finish the projects, but at least it builds some pressure which leads me to remember about them, so I'm compelled to work on them. This month I managed to finish my new website revision, which was an outstanding issue since last year's june. This makes me happy, it's a push to continue on this path, and it lift my morale as I see I can complete things.

One problem I've noticed with agile is that developers may not be the bandwidth choke point.

If you have a multi-stage dev pipeline-- say with a user-testing, audit, or compliance phase somewhere in there-- it can become the bottleneck. If you have devs who can potentially push through N story points per sprint, but then it goes to {user testing, audit, compliance, QA, etc} that taps out at smaller M points, there's a lot of slack in the system.
Yeah, I feel the polar opposite for each of those. I'm guessing you're an early riser, too?
Why the specific Gallo-Roman geographic distribution? Presumably blacksmiths existed and needed "visiting cards" across the Roman Empire?

As an impromptu digital armchair archeologist I'd say this very specific geographic dispersion suggests cultural / religious significance. In any case it weighs against a purely utilitarian role (that would easily diffuse across the empire).

Wax residue was found inside "one or two". Possibly used in a ceremony using candles. The protrusions might have been yarn anchors, not to knit gloves, but to form elaborate ritualistic symbols.

Try reading it again. She thinks that either the driver should control the car or the car should control the car. Hands on a wheel while the car steers is not a driver controlling the car. Tesla does exactly what she objects to.

Wayne did a study several years ago IIRC and determined that even their trained, professional drivers being paid for this exact task could not reliably, effectively and quickly take over driving when a self-driving car made a mistake. It’s a task that humans are really quite bad at.

I know I am. Steering a car on an average road: not a big deal. Taking over on time when a new, borrowed Tesla tries to mess up on that same road: not so easy. Also, it takes more concentration than just steering the car normally.
