Right, that is why I said "more" gendered. I don't think many would argue that it wasn't at least somewhat gendered already. (I'm sure there is someone that would, of course.)

I thought I had heard some push for words other than "captain" and such, but I can't find anything coherent behind that.

None of this changes the rest of what I said, though? English is one of the few languages where I can change a "she" to a "he" or "they" and the rest of the words don't have to change for the sentence to remain coherent. Right?

Fines are just the cost of doing business and are priced in. Executive crime enforcement and resulting jail time is sorely needed. And not in luxury prisons, but in real prisons where the plebs go. Fines do nothing.

Concur completely. Having the capacity to differentiate or make an explicit distinction for why one set of actions is preferable over the other in any type of way that has a epistemological grounding, is not something the vast majority people have the time, patience, training, personality type, etc. to be able to do.

So then we have a problem don’t we? Either the expectation is that some plurality of humans have the ability to coherently manage this kind of epistemological chain reasoning. Or it is untenable for that level of coherency to be able to drive functional assumptions that are generalizable across all human communities.

And us, we’re back to where all moral philosophers have always gotten stuck, which is to say, we have no objective epistemological grounding for any particular type of moral reasoning chain - making every single, moral debate impossible to agree on generalized first principles.

So how do you structure society in a way such that the default behaviors diffuse power and increase pro social responsibility, given the fact that the current social structures demonstrate infinite examples of anti-social behaviors leading to power and wealth.

That is to say, how do you create a society where nobody even wants to be a millionaire because that level of relative over-consumption relative to others would just feel too bad.
It’s called wage compression. It’s thought to be a good thing. I don’t enjoy it very much.
I will add that running your own private LLM is complicated and costly; and that private LLM (at this point) will not be as capable as GPT-4. So while running a private LLM will certainly be the right solution for some, Cape's offering makes improved privacy available to many.
There are so many papers out there that seem to say that "The human microbiome is involved in major medical conditions (ex. heart disease)", this is definitely a research paradigm but not at all a clinical paradigm, as all real treatments seem to target a molecule or lesion that belongs to the actual organism and not the hangers-on. I mean, there are those scam probiotic pills you see everywhere but those are the "ones that mother gives you that don't do anything at all" that Grace Slick warned you about.

Even so, I did a quick search on repology and Nix derivations with multiple outputs (the nix lingo analogous to the subpackages you mentioned) are counted as a single package. For example, bash has 5 outputs but only counts for 1 package in the 85k figure, so I think comparing 900 packages to 85k is a valid comparison.

Anyway, this is all besides the point I was trying to make which is that I don't see why I should use _yet another_ software distribution that has 1% of the amount of packages found in a mature distribution that already has frequent automatic updates and bleeding-edge software revisions.

If you think about the attention mechanism in LLMs, it may not work the same way as the brain, but there should be some functionality of the brain that also deals with attention. And if you think about that, you might also think that attention has some role in consciousness: you need to pay attention to things to be aware of them, and you need awareness of the self for consciousness, etc...
I've noticed the same thing is happening with rider ratings. In forums like r/uberdrivers what the posters there perceive as a red flag rider rating has steadily gone up over the years. Several years ago they'd laugh at people below 4 stars. Now I wonder how many people see my 4.92 and think I'm a cretin.

Also, there's a lot you can do with innocent looking data, simply through correlations. Just like people like to generalize from skin color (I mean, what is more innocent than skin color?) I'm pretty sure that you can even infer skin color from things like "likes R&B music" and a few similar datapoints. Of course, you don't get exact information but statistics can be enough to hurt someone. That's also why your noise argument doesn't make much sense.
I think (straight) guys find it easier to express affection and love for a "her".

I mean think of it this way, you're a guy with a "beautiful" car. What feel's right – to think of this thing of beauty as a "it", a "he", or a "she"?

Consider:

"It's a beauty". "He's a beauty". "She's a beauty".

"She" just sounds more correct to my heterosexual male head.

Zygomys: Embedded Scripting Language for Go
The Uber app should ask the driver to rate the passenger before knowing whether they tipped. Otherwise it's just a rate of tipping which together with local expectations is a recipe for just making it useless. Do drivers really see tips before rating riders?
The variables in the quality of driving are far from being a few, and include:

- driving aggressively/dangerously/poorly
- the above includes not being focused on driving (eg. talking on the phone)
- reacting angrily to other drivers
- driving illegally
- allowing a ride without safety measures (eg. child seat), which is also a case of driving illegally
- not replying to requests (messages) at all before actually starting the ride (which is important in case of particular needs), leaving the passenger without answer until the vehicle arrives

All of those are important, and they definitely need to be all provided - as a matter of fact, at least some are provided in case of ratings below 5.

Uber's star rating has a sensible design - anything below 5 requires the user to explain why. However, I believe that this skews passenger ratings toward 5 stars, even if just for the effort required, or even worse, because of the perception of hostility (AFAIK, ratings are given immediately, and the driver can get an idea of the rating of the passenger).
I have a pet theory. Disclaimer: I'm Dutch.

In the UK, it's a faux pas to talk about 'serious topics' (feelings, politics, etc.) with strangers. There is no danger of this happening, and if it does happen you're equipped to deal with it.

In the Netherlands, however, it's relatively common to talk about serious things. Even with strangers. This makes every conversation 'risky'.

My theory is that this is at the root of why the Dutch are generally not very good at small talk. It's scary, so we don't do it enough, so we're not practised.
In theory, law enforcement could arrest you based on trace amounts of drugs found anywhere on your person. If they want to arrest you they will find a reason, and trace amounts is sometimes good enough. Even if it will never hold up in court, if they want to get you, they will.
Right, my point was just that "use pennies" won't work. You have to use fractions of a penny for different tasks. I'm not sure on the implications of using different fractions at different levels, but I'm sure the problem is more complicated than it sounds. Even before you get into the various methods of rounding that exist.
The Evolution of Radio Sources Mimics a Nonexpanding Universe
I fear the suggestion at the end of the article to protest the system by giving only 5 star reviews does nothing apart from increasing the rating inflation that it talked about earlier. You will never get 100% of people to join in this 5-star-or-bust activity so instead of 4.8 being the minimum acceptable "actually good" rating it'll be 4.85 or 4.9 or whatever. It just moves the threshold a bit but it doesn't change the fact that it's not a linear 1 to 5 rating system.

Coupled with making sure that (in appropriate industries) regulations are sufficient to allow new entrants. It's not necessarily bad if it costs hundreds of millions or billions to start a pharmaceutical research firm. It shouldn't cost half a million to start a bakery, for example.
"Mesh VPN" means that if two devices want to communicate, it will attempt to establish a direct VPN connection between them. E.g. if you have a central server X and 3 "mobile" devices A, B and C, it's enough that ABC can talk to X, they will automatically learn about each other and when e.g. A wants to talk to B it will attempt to establish a direct tunnel between them, coordinating through X, including attempting to punch holes through NAT if needed. If that fails, it falls back to sending traffic through X. (And X could be more than one device too)

Last year, I found Volume 2 of the 1932 edition from The Odyssey Press in a charity shop for just €0.50 [1]. At home I discovered a round paper sticker with the words 'Buning' and 'Djokja'. It seems it either was sold in Yogyakarta are belonged to someone who lived there [2].

The global economy is built on confidence which is derived from trust in financial institutions and whether governments act economically reasonably.

It's not a matter of whether there's other banks that can take on the business. It's a matter of government intervention to that degree would rock confidence and cause a negative shockwave through the markets, which would most definitely affect you no matter how much or how little you have invested in the bank in question. New backers for loans made to the largest corporations and countries on earth, easily reaching billions if not trillions of dollars would need to be accounted for and reorganized. A primary source of funding for housing, infrastructure projects, etc. would be eliminated.

I think you fail to see how deeply entrenched the largest financial institutions in the world are with modern society. Our governments literally depend on them to function because of the complexities of globalization.
It gets even more depressing when you remember that OpenID was initially meant to allow users to own their identity by self-hosting their identity server or delegating to a trusted entity.

But logging in with a URL was unfamiliar to users and it was easier to click the Google button.

It is so sad that this vision got so distorted by corporate interests into delegating to MS/FB/Google/Apple.

macOS has shipped Zsh for a long time. The difference is that now (since Catalina), it’s the default shell.
Half of the world's languages have grammatical gender for inanimate objects. English is one of only a handful of Indo-European languages that don't. Giving inanimate objects gender doesn't have to make sense with regards to what maleness and femaleness mean in terms of human sexual dimorphism, it's just a part of how some languages developed. In French everything is male or female. In German things can be male, female, or neutral, but a table is always male.

What's a bit unusual is that in English nouns don't require gendered pronouns generally because we have a neutral impersonal pronoun "it" for things that don't have literal gender, and generally don't require gendered pronouns - except we sometimes gender them anyways, and that gendering generally follows some convention.
But Mond in German is masculine? At least I think that's where Moon came from, Germanic. Seems closer than Lune.

Sun is feminine, Sonne. Not sure whether English got it from Soleil.

I think it's hard in English. If you want to do this gender-guessing experiment, pick a language with genders and ask for a speaker to place a neologism. I find in Danish I pick the same as everyone else, somehow. There's probably some rule that they don't tell you at school but it's in people's minds.
Grammatically, neuter counts as a gender. You could say it's an element of the same `enum` type as male and female.
This is such a funny take I see so often parroted by the self proclaimed ‘out-crowd’. Your need to feel different and therefore superior clouds your judgment. Some users like iPhones since they are reliable and consistent, exactly like a phone should be.

> Does tinc solve that port forwarding problem?

From the features list: “Regardless of how you set up the tinc daemons to connect to each other, VPN traffic is always (if possible) sent directly to the destination, without going through intermediate hops.” and “As long as one node in the VPN allows incoming connections on a public IP address (even if it is a dynamic IP address), tinc will be able to do NAT traversal, allowing direct communication between peers.”

So yes, it gets around that problem if you have at least one publicly connectable node. How it does this if that node doesn't have a fixed address I've not looked into. Also there are no doubt NAT arrangements that it can't punch through meaning it'll have to fall-back to something akin to your hub model with nodes affected by such NAT talking to each other through another node.
> For the application to work, you must give the Android application permissions that let it obtain location information otherwise it won’t work: For Bluetooth scanning, Android requires this permission

This is not entirely true anymore as of Android 12 (API level 32). See https://developers.google.com/nearby/connections/android/get..., which suggests declaring maxSdkVersion="31" for the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, since it isn't required for Nearby Connections in Android versions newer than that.

The hard part about locking down permissions after the fact like this is that it requires app developers to play ball. Forcibly blocking location access to apps that currently rely on those APIs to scan for Bluetooth connections would break a lot of apps, and not forcibly blocking it makes it easy for app developers to just continue requesting those permissions even though they no longer need them. Furthermore, users are already conditioned to expect location access permissions for apps that need Bluetooth so it doesn't even look suspicious, and there's a lot of outdated documentation out there telling developers to request that permission in that situation even though they no longer need it.
A protocol for real-time transfer and visualization of autonomy data
I guess that makes sense.

It's weird how different industries work - even if they're both creative ones. If a customer under-specifies what they want, and I just make what I think will wow them rather than what they were thinking of but didn't think to tell me, that's a bad job on my part for not engaging with them and finding out what they actually desired.

I don't just visit a bar for drinks alone; socializing is part of the experience as well.

Who is going to pay for something to "become the most battle-tested enterprise distribution"? I get what you say, but this is a lot of (paid) effort many experts need to make together.
I think then this is an issue of UX/UI and the question should just be Were you satisfied with your journey yes or no? and then no, prompts further questions.

The confusion comes from it being different systems for different things, having a yes or no, would make it clear that is what it is. You rate a movie out of five, four out of five would be a pretty decent movie, but in your example it would mean that something majorish was wrong, considering completing the most basic task is 5 out of 5.
I thought some languages had sounds that didn't exist in others, which leads to a kind of audio colour blindness where you literally can't tell the difference between two sounds?

Black Mirror episode "Nosedive" is relevant here.

Professionally, I feel I'm fighting against the corporate oligarchy when I rate all workers (telecom customer service reps, Microsoft support personnel) as five stars irrespective of how I actually felt about the service. I get paid the same at my job regardless, so it seems a waste to not be collaborative.

Recreationally, maybe it's an American thing. Our culture is one of generosity in spite of (not necessarily because of) the experience. I'll tip decent at a restaurant even if the food wasn't great or the service was slow. Granted, I might never go back, but if I'm there, I'm there to have a good experience and to be a good patron. Something would have to be VERY wrong for me to change course.

I don't use gig apps like Doordash or Uber often. I Uber'd once in an emergency and rating the driver was the last thing on my mind. He got 5 stars of course, but he always would have, unless I somehow never made it to my destination.

When interacting with large (or even small) businesses, gratuity items are one of the few things I as a customer have complete power over. For meals, I've already factored the tip into the cost so it's no sweat. For apps, the decision is even easier. One tap on the 5-star button and I can increase the level at which Uber values this non-employee? Easy.

Maybe it comes from the bad old days of raiding Internet polls and intentionally trying to disrupt corporate properties online, but I approach it from the mindset of "how much fun can I have with this?" and always using the highest rating seems the most amusing to me. Sometimes it's legitimate, other times it's more rueful, but it is always good-faith patronage in my opinion.

Somebody mentioned an Uber driver who crashed his car (hopefully not at-fault). I assume they didn't crash on purpose, so we know that guy was having a supremely shitty day. Yeah, I'd probably rate them 5 stars just for the hell of it. It had to have been the most memorable Uber ride ever. Maybe that's not worth much, but it's also not incentive to actively work against your fellow man on behalf of a corporation.

If corps want to farm out KPI work to the customer, I'll gladly oblige, but I'm going to mess with your stats for my trouble ;)
Well, maybe it would be more accurate to say you had some personal experience in a domain you find analogous, that made this result seem intuitive to you.
