Having worn toe socks for 5+ years now, it's one of the greatest decisions I've made. I mostly only wear Injinji now, but I have tried other brands in the past. Here's my pro's and cons list from my experience.

1. Pro: they are much more durable. normally socks start to get rough and developing those little hard fiber balls all over them after a while, haven't had those with injinji.

2. Con: they used to be a bit cheaper in the past, but they are pretty pricey now. I'd say I'm normally paying ~$12 - $15 for a pair, but thanks to #1 now that I have a good supply, I'm not having to buy them very often.

3. Con: if you lose one sock, you've lost two. Having dedicated right and left socks is a liability. I've attempted to address this in the past by just buying lots of the same style, but that is much worse, you suddenly find yourself with 6 plain white left socks and no right socks and realize you need to do laundry to have socks. Now I buy only one of a given style and it's much easier to match up pairs. Injinji is constantly putting out new styles, likely for this reason.

4. Con: Laundry is more difficult. It's become easier now that I've changed how I take off my socks, but there's still some effort.

Now there are a lot more cons in that list, but honestly they are all worth it.
In New York a lot of dogs wear shoes when they’re out in walks, which I assume are taken off when they go back home.
Library issue was my understanding - the Half-Life mod Natural Selection used the STL heavily and was built for both Windows and Linux (Linux for dedicated servers).
When the source code was released many years later the documentation said it needed a library called stlport - some third-party implementation of the STL because even in 2002 when Natural Selection was released, different compilers apparently shipped STLs of varying quality.
It's kind of unfortunate that eurorack cases and power supplies tend to be so expensive. My approach is to use cheap Meanwell supplies (a pair of RS-35-12s wired in bipolar configuration rather than the more common RT-65b) and laser cut more racks out of birch ply when I need more space, but if I was paying full retail price for rack space I would probably be using much smaller modules, and fewer of them.

(This is my most recent design: http://jsnow.bootlegether.net/84hp-rack-2row-slantback.svg -- the parts are made by running two jobs on the same file, always cutting red and alternating between cutting purple and blue. Turns out 3mm screws work fine in plywood if you can get the hole size just right.)
Academics used to be rich people (entrepreneurs or aristocrats) who funded their own work.

Then (late 1800s?) it changed to a profession, and the focus became extracting funding from ignorant patrons.

Quoted from the article:

> "I have now taken hardbin.com down completely because dealing with this sort of thing makes it less fun to run and more like hard work, but I do still have a copy of the log files."
> Someone can likewise have every intention of being ethical, but just be bad at it.

Is there really any empirical evidence that such people exist and could be helped by an ethics course? I think laymen [to ethics] with a desire to be ethical can generally go about being ethical with little more than the Golden Rule. And if somebody hasn't figured out the Golden Rule yet by the time of their mandatory ethics course in college, there's probably something wrong with them (narcissism? psychopathy? some compulsion that makes them listen to intrusive thoughts?) that will make the ethics lectures basically pointless.

The most effective time to teach ethics is probably Kindergarten, plus or minus a few years. I just don't believe in the existence of adults who want to be ethical but don't know how because a college professor hasn't explained it to them.

#3 lessons with time I think. I can slip them on basically as fast unless my foot is damp after the shower. #1 and #2 were on my list of cons too, it's a universal problem. For laundry, I try to pull mine off toes first before I put them into the hamper to minimize flipping, but I still forget a lot.
The sales people at Reddit actually focus on selling those little plastic bags with goldfish in them to county fairs.

I don’t know why you’d jump to the conclusion that the sales people at an ad-supported website would sell ads.
Sad thing is that under pretty much any other circumstances (as in not protected by a broken law) that sort of action would totally be straight-up fraud on the part of the filer (literally stealing ad revenue).

I was just advocating against abstractions in general. Using primitive types and designing around the data – not higher-level language abstractions – is a nice approach that doesn't get enough attention. Instead conferences are filled with talks about how some new abstraction is the silver bullet for all your problems.

I just wanted to challenge the "more and higher abstractions are good" narrative, since using them has ate up a lot of my time and I hate to see other people repeat the mistake. Obviously every abstraction is different and unique in its value.

I’ve been wondering about this. My wife and I recently did some budgeting and I started to wonder if we really needed a prime subscription. Early on free 2-day shipping was really great, and worked reliably. Nowadays is hit or miss how fast you get something. And I think I can figure out how to spend my $140 better.
My main difficulty with toe socks is finding ones for my toe length/width combination. There are relatively standard foot sizes listed, but toes vary a lot and most are uncomfortably tight on my toes :/

My middle ground has been wearing very thin socks, e.g. some athletic ones and many dress socks. They're weak enough that they don't compact my toes. Combine that with wide toe box shoes and my feet feel great every day - they went from mild ache after a full day to nothing for two decades now.
Also, one time after a sleep over my dad came out of the master fresh from his shower to go fetch clean clothes from the dryer, wearing not a thread.

It's a standard right-wing talking point. It translates to: "the national debt is increasing and it is because of Biden and the Democrats with their unchecked spending."

The propaganda push is real trying to get Americans to think of the supreme court (of course, only the "conservative" justices) as corrupt. It's unthinkable that highly ambitious, successful people have highly ambitious and successful friends. It's impossible that people like to spend time with like minded people who agree with them on their core beliefs. No, it must be that they're getting paid to rule a certain way on the court.

I can't tell if this push is to get some justices to retire so that Biden gets to appoint more, or if it is a bigger play to remove faith in the supreme court and give more power to the executive. Either way this is a dangerous game being played.

The supreme court is less corrupt now than it ever has been IMO, since the first supreme court. And it it sacred, if the supreme court gets corrupted, the public loses faith in it or something like that, the republic will not survive.

Most doctors ask for an anal probe temp for newborns before they ask you to bring them in. The armpit method gets significantly harder when they get older, more clothes, fussy, etc. I got a Braun Thermoscan 7 and it’s worth every penny. Makes it super straight forward to get an accurate temp when they’re sleeping. Also since it has a disposable sleeve, you don’t have to wash the thermometer after every use like under the tongue. You can keep using the same one the whole length of the sickness.

That's basically the same thing for all companies. Google believes its ads are genuinely useful to its users, so showing ads is a win-win situation for Google and for users. Showing Google users ads is like keep reminding a toddler that broccoli is good.
1 bit CPUs don't really make sense anymore because their gate count niche doesn't really exist anymore in discrete chips. The I/O pads around the perimeter of a chip haven't been able to shrink nearly as much as the logic within even on very mature process nodes in the hundreds of nanometers. Basically there's so much die area that for analog reasons can't be shrunk much taken up by simply getting on and off of the die that logic in the few thousand gate count range is basically free.

That's why you see 8 bit MCUs with a useful set of peripherals even in the ~$0.03/ea range where almost all the cost is in testing and packaging the dies.
I get the basic premise: the idea is that storytelling is how to explain concepts and ideas. It's just one of those glaringly obvious observations.

> The argument boils down to anything you can't explain doesn't exist, which is shortsighted and pseudointellectual.

Yeah, 100% agree. I prefer the old Feynman's quote (paraphrasing): If you can't explain it to a 5 year old, then you probably don't understand it.

(that doesn't mean it doesn't exist)

>It’s a reason planes basically look the same for many decades too; newer stuff is harder to get through.

Not true. The reason planes look the same is because that's simply the optimal shape and layout, aerodynamically, for carrying passengers in the most fuel-efficient manner. Ask any aerospace engineer.

But there's been some big differences if you look more closely. Engine nacelles are a lot larger than they were 50 years ago, since bigger high-bypass turbofans are more efficient. And winglets are basically standard now. Under the skin there's huge differences: fly-by-wire, composite wings, etc.

>Also part of why Boeing thought it best to revise an existing design once more

Wrong. It's because some customers (cough Southwest cough) would only fly 737s, and because the FAA's broken rules allowed anything called a "737" with a 737 airframe to be flown by any pilot rated for that aircraft, even if they've only flown one from 1969, even though there's big differences between the generations, and because the FAA didn't mandate a more thorough process for this loophole. Boeing was afraid that these 737 users would buy the A320neo instead of a different Boeing plane, if forced into a choice of something new. In reality, the 737 airframe is old and obsolete, and should have been retired ages ago, but is only kept alive because of bad FAA regulations.

>The process led to bad design decisions quite directly, though of course everyone blames Boeing (rightly) but not the process the FAA imposed.

This is correct. The FAA is the root of the problem here. But the problem isn't that "processes can be gamed around", the problem is that this particular regulatory agency was corrupt and failed in its primary duty. Of course regulations can be gamed around; that's why the regulators are supposed to stay on top of that, and continually revise regulations to deal with this. It's a cat-and-mouse game, but here the cat just gave up and let the mouse tell it how to do its job as a cat. The answer to this problem isn't to get rid of cats; it's to euthanize this particular cat and get a better cat.

I was familiar with that phrase and its shorthand ("GLHF") but the latter half of the sentence ("for interacting with GPT models") confused the punchline enough that the joke just didn't land, because the context is one of using RL to "interact with GPT" (relevant to this article) but a more appropriate context would have been regular ole RL using agents in a simulated environment, like - I don't know, a video game?

Maybe I'm overthinking it though.

Yes. That and population. Generally, the larger and more populous countries tend to be the most powerful and influential.

Ever wonder why britain, spain, portugal and netherlands expanded their landmass by creating their empires? Ever wonder why britain, spain, portugal and netherlands lost their power and influence when they lost their empires and landmass?

I've been wondering about this for a while. Since we know corporations are people my friend and have all the rights or a person what should stop them from voting. I assume that if pressed a corporation that is 18 years old should be allowed to vote, there's nothing in the constitution prohibiting it. Knowing the current group of yokels in the SC I'm sure we'd see a 6-3 vote codifying the voting rights of a corporation.

This is a great example of why I dislike Go. It is not obvious that a slice is passed by value while a map is not or why. Therefore every action on it feels a bit weird because of that, and now you have functions like "clear" that take a very non-obvious action. Personally, I'd rather have pass-by-value return an error and only allow pass-by-reference (better: they should have had maps and slices be pointers). I'm not sure I'd ever use a function that set every value to its zero type.

I don't really understand this assessment. Half as much is $1,750. That's really not much compared to what people are willing to pay for Apple devices. Basically the price point of an iPad Pro, and I think the potential of the Vision Pros is much higher than the potential of the iPad. It's just a matter of whether they can realize some commercial use-cases like with the iPad.

The Vision Pro is marketed as a device with the potential to replace or significantly augment a laptop and/or TV for a lot of users (I understand there are presently some asterisks needed there). And that's assuming no other novel, high value uses emerge.

Apple sells something like 7 million MacBooks per quarter. Many of them are well more than $2000. I don't think a $2,000 price point is a crazy barrier if the device is able to live up to what it could be.

I'm skeptical this survives very long: these diffusor systems are noise removal systems, this is just inventing a noise injection they currently haven't had to deal with.

Your comment reads like you’re talking about an anal thermometer, and I was wondering how in the world that doesn’t wake up a sleeping baby. It looks like the Thermoscan 7 is an ear thermometer though, which makes a lot more sense!
