I’ll give you the reasons I bought a small RV over a trailer. There are always trade offs!

1. You can boondock much more discretely. I can move quietly from the driver seat into the sleeping area without letting the neighborhood know anyone is there at all. Also safer in that if someone is bothering me, I can also just drive away.

2. Much faster to setup. I usually just hop out of my rv, connect the power cord and back in. Press a button for leveling out. When you have a trailer and you need to go somewhere, it probably involves disconnecting the hitch which is a ton of work. It’s possible to leave it connected but the length of both the trailer and car is usually too long for a campsite

3. Slightly related to that last one but length. My RV is 24 feet, I can just pull straight into most driveways, press a button and I’m setup. Not a fan of backing trailers into steep or across uneven driveways.

4. Incredibly easy to drive. As other people are discussing letting folks overtake you, it just wasn’t as necessary because you can drive a short rv like a car. Miss a gas station? Just hit that uturn at the signal and go back. Good luck with a trailer or even more fun in a 5th wheel

5. Cross wind. I haven’t driven much with a trailer but in the desert, the cross winds were sorta scary while driving an RV. I have to imagine this is worse with a trailer.

6. Having that back living space easy to reach. Thirsty on that 6 hour drive? Just send a passenger back to the fridge to grab a cold drink or food from the pantry

7. Storage. This can go two ways but I only have a driveway for two cars. My RV fits in one spot. If I had a trailer, I would have to park the truck separately which wouldn’t leave room for another car off the street

8. Battery recharging. When the RV is running, the deep cycle batteries charge. I can let the car idle instead of running the connected generator. There is also a button you can hold down and it uses the deep cycle batteries start the car engine in case the car battery dies. The whole system is integrated so you theoretically can’t have a dead battery on both the engine portion or the rear living space portion

9. Ac, I have had issues with my rear AC, I can start the car and run the AC from the front vents to keep the back area livable
>It is very unclear whether electric vehicles actually are more environmentally friendly.

No, it really isn't. Google it, and ignore right-wing sources, which are more often than not complete garbage these days.
That's a calling for sure, is where you mind sees it self finding a conduit for self expression.
Do try it! It's a beautiful art form!
And don't have to drop everything to make it, it can be a hobby (for now), but try it.

The romanticize take is a calling for life. But we humans are changing machines, and what's true to some it can be so different to others.

I had "burst of interest" to make fermented food in 2018-2019, like a crazy fever to understand kombucha/sauerkraut, etc. I freaking love it.

Now in 2022-2023 it's the compost calling. A compost is so simple, but if you want it to have it in the shortest time, with the best quality, and without any stench, you actually have to put some thought into "what goes into it".

Anyway, silly examples but hope that helps in some way.

Red Hat (any many other companies) follows "knowledge centered support". [1] Essentially the knowledge base is the "workspace" or scratch paper of the support case, and as information comes in the case, the information should be organized in the knowledge base solution such that by the end, you've got the bones of a solid solution other customers can follow.

It's a whole Thing that People charge huge sums to implement, but the idea itself is pretty solid.

The increased “jitter” in shipping times was one of the things that prompted me to cancel Prime a few years ago. Even in NYC my perception was that the standard deviation of transit times had increased significantly.

The other components to the decision were the ever increasing volume of identical no-brand junk/counterfeit products with fake reviews, and the significant improvements in online inventory/buy inline pick up in store options from brick and mortar retailers.

When I signed up for Prime 13(?) years ago very few stores had accurate online inventory, now tons of them do, and the more limited selection actually feels like a benefit.
I cancelled Amazon Prime a couple of months ago and have made a couple of purchases since. I'm not sure how they can people are tricked into signing up for it. I would say brow beaten is a better word since you have to click like three prompts basically stating you're some kind of freak who doesn't want the convenience of Prime and its many benefits.

> Aside from violence (US military), what is the US dollar’s features that make it better than bitcoin in any way?

using USD doesn't make me look like a criminal or a scammer.

And it actually work and is useful for everything that isn't shady.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot: I can go to a bank and ask for a loan in USD that I can then use to buy a house, start a business, go on a trip, instead of risking of losing everything the day after. I can repay the loan in comfortable installments, at a predictable rate which won't bankrupt me because I have to acquire bitcoins that are deflationary, so basically in 20 years my debt will have nominally grown up, instead of losing real value, due to inflation, hence costing me less, and whose price is unpredictable.
Something so minuscule! 100% agreed.
I watched Dark City years after watching The Matrix (on opening in the cinema) and I enjoyed it very much, have watched it multiple times over the years.

It's interesting how things hold up over time

"This calculus means that eliminating barriers to switching is the most important thing you have to do if you want to take over an existing market"

Still holds up today for software products, switching between products is still a pain and making that easy makes it possible to justify switching.
Not using it yet, but basically there where you cannot control who runs what, like shared builders or server with personal beyond infra/itsec teams may have access and need to be able to run containers. As being in group Docker/having access to Docker socket effectively means having root access, Podman/rootless docker can be a savior.
I think the question stands. You can't fit 25 4090s in a robot (unless we're talking about something massive with an equally massive battery), and even if you could an LLM wouldn't be appropriate for driving a robot.

Given the pace of improvements I don't see how you compress 25 4090s into a single GPU in 7 years. A 4090 isn't 25 times the power of a GTX 980, it's closer to maybe three times.

Because "moat" in the business world doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

Simply having a better product isn't a moat at all. A moat, in reality, is a defensive obstacle that is strategically difficult/impossible to cross.

If competitors can keep improving their products to eventually catch up close to yours, there's no moat because there's no obstacle. To use the castle analogy that "moat" originates from, it's just terrain to cross normally.

A classic example of a moat is network effects, because no matter how superior your product is, you can't get people to switch to yours. That's a strategic obstacle.

Other common moats include things like switching costs (cloud computing lock-in), or economies of scale that are impossible for competitors to achieve (Amazon doing its own deliveries, or Wal-Mart's distribution network).

A ChatGPT account has your email address, and a password, so unless folks are using ChatGPT to discuss their personal information against the warning you get every single time you log in, this is mostly just more proof that everything you log into will be hacked. Which isn't really news. Unfortunately, what it's not is an article that explains how "what they got" translates into "and this is what they could do with that data", so I'm not sure I understand the value of this data. What ramifications would this have for folks whose account got compromised?
I suspect that republishing the sources will be against the terms you agree to in your subscription.
Passwords tend not to be brute forced one character at a time, but by combinations of common password lists and rainbow tables. The base unit is not character in these cases but entries in the tables.

Therefore, a password like "EstablishedCousins" is significantly less secure than "bR^4outc0m3" despite containing more characters.

Edit: I actually mean dictionary attack, not rainbow tables, but my point still stands.

Edit 2: In fact, the password from the example ("11111111") appears in the 71st line of this password dictionary: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duyet/bruteforce-database/...
If you've got a credit card attached to your account, remove it and change your password.
So, your point is not the printing press, but it was "the church". Well, in this case, it isn't "the church", so there any analogy already fails.

> history has shown that the ability to spread false information does not prevent the positive impact of true information.

And that's enough? So we can forget about The protocols of Elders of Zion and the stab-in-the-back myth and the misery they imparted because something else overcame that? Or closer to home: we should simply ignore things like Cambridge Analytica and the meddling in the US elections, even though it moved, and still could be moving, the USA towards a fascist regime?

> people are smart

No, most aren't, and even what's normally considered smart people can believe in hoaxes and act to the detriment of society.

You lost me there. Learning is not a goal per se. Learning from malicious information can lead to malicious outcomes. If you want to invoke a history lesson, that would be a good one.
Gift cards are tethered to the dollar, with a discount, because they are essentialy unsecured loans to the gift card issuer.

I feel like if you are making it to the higher echelons of success, you typically have this type of track record.

A lot of companies start small by people who like what they do. It’s the business leader or visionary who sees the future and how to apply it on the larger scale usually leaving the loyalty and honor behind and doing what’s best for them and their company.

Does anyone actually think Alito (or Thomas) rule conservatively because of rich conservatives taking them on vacations? It seems clear that the causation is reversed. Which is not to say this behavior isn't ill-advised.
> debate over if the whole universe is rotating

Wait, debate ? Or am I failing to understand what you mean ?

\Lambda-CDM at the linear level requires the decay of vector-mode perturbations associated with vorticity; at the very least, the small scalar perturbations must totally dominate. This motivated a couple decades of searches for vector (and tensor) perturbations encoded in the CMB. Post-WMAP/Planck polarization data, aren't vector modes dead as a doornail in the linear theory ? (e.g. <https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.11...> | <https://link.aps.org/accepted/10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.131302> aka astro-ph/1605.07178 which kills off early-time vorticity imho, conflicting with your final paragraph.)

I also know of some work on late-time vorticity, proposing studies of CMB lensing curl, kinetic SZ and moving-lens tomography, galaxy rotation planes and so forth, but isn't practically all of this work explicitly generating null-tests of \Lambda-CDM, rather than a cosmology where "the whole universe is rotating", Bianchi or otherwise ?

Finally, I also know of some work trying to use large N-body simulations to look at scales where predictions from the linear theory become unreliable (~ Mpc). However, I don't think this is what you mean.

If there is a published review of "a debate over if the whole universe is rotating" that you could direct me to, I would be grateful. I got nowhere with "rotational anisotropy" as a search term, and seem to lack the capacity to imagine possible synonyms other than as above. Don't spare me, I'm prepared to admit and embrace the consequences of my ignorance.
There's a difference between "being alone" and "loneliness". Being alone in the city or the forest can be great. Being lonely, less so.

I once worked in a large open-air office that had on-site support from VMWare (this was over ten years ago). The VMWare guy was a doofus and some of the 20 something year old IT staff appeared to know more about his product than he did. Provided no-value except for "knowing people"...One day he wasn't there and I asked if they finally fired this useless bozo and I was informed that he went to work with Redhat-support and that a new VMWare guy was inbound. Shook my faith in RHEL for years. Honestly I'm still not sure I trust Redhat after they hired such a loathsome fraud.
Topaz Labs makes a stand-alone upscaling app with proprietary models, or you can use something like Cupscale and try various models that are freely available. You usually need to chain multiple models together with the latter option in order to get decent results.

While yes an annoyance, we should reflect on how far we've come when this type of thing causes little to no disruption.

Most of us use unique passwords, a smaller portions uses unique emails per account, and in the future we will use public keys (passkeys).

Security is getting better I'm optimistic.

However we have to continue to push on providing as little information to these companies (i.e. they don't need my name, DOB, etc.). And in the future I look forward to where I store this information, and provide it just in time as needed for the specific use cases (i.e. it might be processed and checked by a 3rd party but it's never stored).
I’d counter that buying power is the only metric that matters. All these abstractions of buying power may distract and distance you from this most important metric - often to the benefit of companies and nation states.

It's really astonishing how many obvious things like this aren't implemented on either Google Maps or Waze. And for those that do exist, they feel like they've been designed by someone who has never driven outside of California and never used mixed-mode transport.
I would assume that the Supreme Court justices have various side gigs that make money, so that official salary isn’t all they earn. The position is for life, after all, so obviously they will want to be free to do some other things, too. Plus, most of the work is done by clerks, and the judges only have to make their final ruling on the basis of all that data painstakingly collected by others.
CentOS was great and I'm still using CentOS 7 until EOL. I learned a lot from "the mouse" in the CentOS support forum, and I hope the CentOS people made a living from the deal.

That's just how stimulants are said to work for people with ADHD. They don't have enough dopamine for proper functioning, so when they do get a boost of dopamine they are able to function more normally. Wired (hyperactive) -> tired.

I've always wondered if paying important government officials more would help. A supreme court justice makes less than many run-of-the-mill doctors, and is an extremely consequential person who could probably be making several multiples of what they make in the private sector. I'd guess that if there were somehow market forces at play, the salaries of these kinds of jobs would be a lot higher and maybe we'd get better people and less temptation for corruption.

Interesting perspective.

It is funny to hear that they are still using MS Access. I took that same class, nearly a decade ago though. We thought that it was weird even back then. But, if my memory serves my correctly most of the class was about theory, it's not like the goal was to learn how to use MS Access beyond projects trying to apply theory.

I found the assignments to be pretty comparable to other schools, but it very likely depends on which professors you ended up getting. I know for a fact that certain classes had very different content/projects based on your professor.
