>It's perilous to actively antagonize your audience, to take away things from them that have genuine utility for them. A site dies when you drive away your key content creators and contributors. None of these things happened at Fark I believe.

While it wasn't a key point in me leaving, I switched from Fark to Reddit around the time they started cracking down on Foobies/porn because of "misogyny" and not wanting to offend advertisers.

This isn't really the case. The people who study climate are having to censor themselves from the loud idiots who took the bait and turned a scientific concern into a creed.

In the 21st century if you have to frame your solution as a fight against something, you're part of the problem not part of the solution. "Fighting" is now a bigger problem than the contested topic. Idiots fight and the bigger the idiot, the bigger the fight. So the contest is over two extremes that have nothing to do with reality and whomever is doing the real discussion gets labelled as the enemy by both camps because they don't belong to the extreme.
Not only PC's. They tried to eliminate as many Android OEM's as possible by threating and launching patent litigation against them unless they paid up. The amount they demanded from each device was so ridiculous that you would have thought it was a payment to license the Android OS itself. Thugs will always be thugs.
That might be true if you already don't like writing Perl, but I have many years of experience writing system administration scripts in Perl, and I'd pick it for that task over Python any day.

I can understand why someone who prefers Python would go that route, but it is definitely not more capable than Perl in that domain.
We use Teams at work. We also use almost everything else Microsoft sells, which is probably the only reason we use Teams.

I suspect that the kind of company that uses Teams is just not very interested in critically evaluating Microsoft or competitors (relative to companies that are evaluating specific Microsoft products as one-offs). They're already bought into an ecosystem whose main strength as a collection of mediocre (or worse) software is that it is integrated with all the other mediocre software in the collection. If they don't 'trust Microsoft', where does that leave them? So they 'trust Microsoft', and that's the end of that.
> Memory is not understanding, even though they often look similar.

I’m curious about this because I used to think I knew what “understanding” is, but now I don’t think I do. A lot of what we think we “understand” is actually memorized. And with sufficient information, memory is indistinguishable from understanding. A computer can memorize all of the best tic-tac-toe moves. This memorization is indistinguishable from understanding. In fact, it’s better because it’s cached.

Empirically, understanding can be tested with a novel set of challenge questions. If no such question set can be produced (i.e. the entire domain has been memorized) or the subject answers the question set with no apparent repeatable flaws, we must admit the subject understands the domain. Anything further, any attempt to peer inside the box (other than to identify repeatable flaws), is not a productive use of time.

Further, we should keep in mind that LLMs aren’t usually actually regurgitating training data verbatim. Their parameters store a statistical representation of the training data and are orders of magnitude smaller than a lossless compressed version of that data. In this way, it is analogous to MCTS analysis of a chess position: rollouts can give very deep information even if that “understanding” is quite alien to us.
If you used a per-user-list salt, then it would be about as useful as obfuscating phone numbers by hashing them. The list must then be enumerable in N*x time, where x is the time to hash one user, and N is the cardinality of the search space.

One second per legitimate hash check? You can enumerate the list in a few hours by doing a parallel search...

Ah I see, in that case NC probably is a bit of a misfit. There is a plugin named Announcement Center that will do something like that, but I guess it would be a hack:

Remember that package delivery peaks in December before Christmas--yet the package industry can handle this peak. So let's say December volume is 100x units of which UPS handles 40x--leaving the rest of the industry handling 60x units. And normal August volume is 60x units. Thus the rest of industry can handle this (with overtime, part-time workers...). And business will do things like consolidate orders [ever order a half dozen things from Walmart and it comes in more than one package (from different distribution centers)].
But at the same time, heat reduces photosynthesis efficiency, and even if it didn't, photosynthesis alone doesn't lead to healthy plants. You can't take one element in isolation.

Here’s a repeatable, no nonsense, passion free guide:

1) research careers, find out what the average salary is at the highest levels. If it takes more than 8 years to reach six figure income (before other forms of compensation) it’s probably not good enough. Also if it’s the type of job where you are paid primarily for the time you spend doing something rather than the value you create it’s a shitty job that doesn’t scale. Sorry. You need a career where you work less and decide more as you grow in skill and knowledge.

2) now get the entry level job

3) start looking for new job opportunities after a year and when a new higher paying job arises take it. This might happen around the 2 year mark.

4) repeat the cycle of taking a job and finding a better one until you max out salary and comp.

Other advice: your first few years in your career are not the time to make big expenses, this is the time to start paying down debt, saving and investing money. Plan to live with parents, roommates, trailer, car, whatever you need to do to have as low cost of living as possible. Do not worry about your love life because you will not find an optimal partner in these first few years, no one cares about you until you’re at least in the late 20s. If you can manage to get like a 90% saving rate and make good investments that track the markets, you will be doing very well later on.

Do not waste time and do no listen to people telling you to chase a passion or start a business. Being poor or having a shitty business take over your life sucks more than having a job you’re not passionate about.

If you already fucked up and you’re in your 30s, do not worry. Just pretend you’re still in your 20s and avoid revealing your age. People will assume you’re younger and you will be immune to the ageism that often halts people’s progress in a career. Being in your 20s is more about your status in life than your chronological age.
We've had a year with the highest extent ever recorded in the last 10 years.

It's a direct refutation of the authors point that it'll continue to decrease and expose more ocean because of compounding effects when it hasn't actually been decreasing. I make no claims that it's going to increase or decrease, I'm not even talking about the future, I'm refuting the author's bad data.

See that’s on-brand with the cutthroat ruthless billG company. So not ideal, but not surprising either.

This is anti-customer and needlessly fraught with legal implications.

Of course it seems aligned with their hallucinations-enabled OpenAI investment.

i don’t really understand whether this level of hobby (obsession?) to invest huge amounts of time/resources into getting hipster hardware to “work” is… healthy?
I use Brave (not so much for the built-in ad block, but mostly because it's not actually Chrome) and I've noticed that more and more sites have ad-block detection that appears to work by sending a unique token to their ad server and then not loading content until after the token has been verified to have been received. I imagine there are ways around this on a per-site basis, it's generally easier to just give in and disable the ad blocker.
The fun thing about climate change is that it is never really too late to make a difference, since every reduction in emitted CO2 results in less warming (even if not in a perfectly linear fashion due to various feedback loops). This means that even when we've already locked in 2C, it is still worth preventing it from going to 2.5C.

So alarmism is good and necessary, we just need to make sure that we also need to take action based on it.
It's important to judge people in context. Just as you wouldn't think as harshly of a thief who grew up in a poor, violent household, you shouldn't think as harshly of the ignorance of a historical figure as you would of a person of today who should know better. I suspect there are many things about the people of today which the people of a century hence will regard as utterly depraved.

> If you really want to call Planned Parenthood a hate group, go on ahead. I don't think you'll get very far.

That depends on who you're trying to get very far with. If it's pro-choice coastal elites, obviously not. But suppose the person making the decision is pro-life.

> Who are you actually trying to talk about?

It's not about any group in particular. It's about what happens when you open this can of worms.

Actual formal hierarchical "hate organizations" are basically dead. But there are a lot of unstructured collections of people with shared goals and in each of those groups there are extremists and people with mental illness and teenagers who think it makes them big to threaten someone else. It's no difficulty to find instances of bad behavior. But group-level enforcement is just playing into tribalism. There is a reason collective punishment is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

And there is no reason to think censorship will ever end any differently than it always does, with whatever group is in charge of censorship decisions imputing them with whatever ideological biases they may hold.

Unless you're struggling for money, would you seriously consider a job that expects you to be watched constantly by strangers?
> Sarcasm aside, in a time of a medical emergency, it is the job of medical professionals to make decisions, because public safety supersedes individual freedoms.

This might be true for like the first week or two of march but after that... the response should absolutely not be solely in the hands of nothing but "medical experts". Those people were never elected, are not accountable at all for their actions, and were granted virtually unlimited control. That is what we call a dictatorship.

I would much, much rather have a diverse party of people calling the shots and not just one very specific niche class of "expert". Without a diverse set of people involved you'll wind up where we got... an extremely myopic fixation on exactly one single respiratory virus for two+ years to the complete disregard for the damage it caused to our children and communities.

I used to think technocracy would be awesome. What better than to have a bunch of experts doing things "the right way". But covid opened my eyes to how incredibly bad of an idea that is. Experts are only expert on one specific thing. All their advice and mandates are made through that narrow lens.

> You’re right; I’m really glad I polled thousands of fellow employees before forcing multifactor auth, or that time I chatted with a sysadmin to make sure they really did mean to open RDP on a public server before taking it offline.

But you also chatted with business people to get insight into the costs of forcing multifactor auth on people would be worth the security gains? Right? Because forcing 2FA is absolutely not something a security expert gets to decide. A good security expert would realize they are an advisor and not the person calling the shots. They know their role is to outline "what would happen if we did blah blah" and then let the business people know the pros and cons so said business people can make a decision. The business people, if they are any good, realize that there are multiple often conflicting requirements and have the hard work of deciding what the right tradeoffs to make are. Experts don't get to decide those tradeoffs at all...

I mean, could you imagine if the only input you got for a product, say a car seat, was just from a bunch of lawyers? The product would be absolutely lawsuit proof but I bet it would suck as a car seat.

Thanks for your comment. Having read the conclusion, it is more of the authors saying "NSS could be responsible for hypertension/T2 Diabetes etc but it's not really conclusive".

I'll likely still consume some NSS'es though that is more due to my preexisting condition.
Wow, this is beyond anything allowed in law if I understand it right. Imagine you are looking at corporate IPR or private medical data (some MRI scans come with a browser based viewer to give a concrete real-life example).
Congrats on the releases ! I have been waiting for this make it to 1.0 for some time now. That's a pleasant suprise.
Exactly. VCism is always done with the goal of getting more from the next sucker. The final sucker being the public.
> It's never been easier to build web pages. Never been easier to build a browser.

And yet, Microsoft ditched its own engine and went with Chrome's. So did Brave and others.

> Where problems arise is when people expect to challenge behemoths right from launch. Like demanding your burgers be adopted by all mcdonalds consumers when you haven't done anything to actually compete with them.

So they should start small and slowly build up the artificial complexity that accumulated over decades in incubent browsers until it reaches feature parity? By then, the other browsers will have another 10+ years of more complexity than you.

I don't quite get what's your point here. Could you give examples?
Find a good CPA first and if you need Legal help on top, a good CPA always has referrals and recommendations. Some key things to keep in mind:

- You will need a CPA who is licensed to practice in your state. Even for SaaS business unfortunately, the Govt. has not caught up and a lot of it comes down to which state your business is officially registered in. For example, if you are registered in NJ, find a CPA who can practice in NJ. A CPA who can only practice in IL won't be of much help other than general advice.

- Unfortunately, there is no good way to find these CPAs. Trial and error. You can start with a CPA directory for your state and call at least 3-5 and ask your questions. Depending on how they answer your questions and your gut feeling, you can then choose one.

Which state are you in btw ? I can recommend for NY, NJ, PA as our own CPA (who is decent) can do these 3 states.
That community ate away at my soul. We had a good group of core users, but by my estimate about a third of all submissions were from karma farmers and new users shitposting memes and image macros. (Or people complaining that I wasn't allowing shitposting memes and image macros.)

There seems to be a tendency for many to believe that academics, researchers, and physicians are above personal and political bias, particularly when it comes to their fields. But as far as I can tell, it largely stemmed from the fact that some of the earliest insinuations around the origins came from fringe right-wing talking heads, and particularly people surrounding Donald Trump, immediately caused many in positions of power, either in academic or media circles, to shut down such notions as racism, xenophobic, anti-intellectual conspiracy theories not based on facts. This despite those same people were largely coming to that conclusion in an anti-intellectual manner also not based on facts.

The EU CCS2 uses 3-phase AC. Good for fast power transfer, but 3-phase AC isn't available in residential zones in the US (unlike in the EU).

He may be exagerating, but it is also my experience. The only "posts" i see are from entities that have something to sell. The "regular" users just do stories now (probably because of the disappearing nature of them). 2 anecdata, i guess.
Heat and condensation build up is a complete non-issue due to the built in fans! I've never once felt hot or stuffy inside the Vision Pro, and I totally do on other VR headsets.

I don't really look at my keyboard while typing so that's also a non-issue. For stuff where you really need hand-eye coordination it's totally fine at normal arms-length but gets worse as you get closer to your face. Finding a key on the keyboard with your eyes is not a big deal but if you try to drink from a glass of water you'll likely spill it on yourself the first time (and then eventually get used to it).
This has happened to me several times.

Don’t forget the iPhone wasn’t an instant hit. It got a lot of discussion but it took a few years/versions before it became THE phone. Same with the Apple Watch. And even the iPod didn’t take off until it was on Windows after a few years.

This will likely be similar.

When the iPhone came out, not only was it limited it was $600 and no subsidy at a time most people were getting free camera phones.

It took a while (and a price drop) for people to see enough value to pay the price.

The caveats section covers a lot of variations, between food samples and individual digestive tracts.

I've you've ever been diagnosed with anything that isn't mainstream, you're familiar with how much the medical community likes to stuff pegs of any shape into their favorite receptacles. A patient with ideopathic symptoms could be lying to you and sneaking food in the parking lot (I've known a couple of those), or they could be an anomaly. Singular or a few percent of the population. The world of genetics is vast and a handful of rare conditions can net you several examples within your Dunbar number.

We have a lot of people these days who don't seem to correspond directly to calories in/calories out. And unless they're absorbing energy from the universe, then something about our assumptions is broken.

At work I often find myself having to remind people that if your assumptions tell you that an event must be impossible, then it's not your eyes that are wrong but your assumptions. Half of debugging is being able to efficiently name your assumptions and sort them by probability x difficulty of verification.

If people aren't losing weight on diet soda, we need to be dismissing rules of thumb and directly testing patients instead of shrugging and saying, "exercise more, scrub." Which is a polite characterization of how medical people treat my obese friends.

Visited LA during the pandemic so bus rides were free.

Getting around LA via busses and rail was incredibly smooth and affordable.

The stench of shit in the subway car though was off putting and I have to presume as long as people can afford to avoid that they will.

That said, paying people to keep these things cleaned would supply people with a potentially life long employment by a city (so receiving public retirement plans) which ought to be a net benefit for the city as a whole.
