Agreed, I have a history of being a bit of a shopaholic (and being overweight). I've vacillated between periods of being debt-free and periods of indebtedness, I've vacillated between periods of being in relatively good shape and periods of weight gain. None of these circumstances, good or bad, happened overnight, they were the accumulation of many small daily decisions, often over years.

When I was in the peak shape of my life (178 and stacked), it was following being in the worst condition in my life (315), after more than 7 years of constant careful attention to my calorie intake, every other day exercise, and meticulously recording it all so I could keep myself honest. It didn't evaporate overnight either, I was able to maintain a good state of health without being so controlled while I was traveling, but once the pandemic happened and I became sedentary my loss of control over my eating caught up to me over the next 14 months and I gained nearly 40 pounds back prior to getting myself back under control. Now I'm on that journey again back to a healthier weight.

The things we do every day, the small choices we consistently make, these form the habits of our lives. I have good habits and I have bad habits, and it's a consistent struggle for me (and likely everyone) to overcome our bad habits and turn them into good habits. Some of these habits, including my relationship with food, came from my environment as a child, so the work of a lifetime forming them is often difficult to overcome, but it's never impossible.

I wouldn't even know where to start deconstructing your argument.

If you remove the sense of taste from someone, I assure you they won't enjoy food and will lose weight very quickly. Almost like that was the answer all along.

Your comment has to be made in bad faith and it's not even worth engaging with.

Why don’t we try removing all the insane tax incentives first, e.g. 1031 exchange, and then see what happens? There are so many incentives for investment in real estate. Even if more housing was built, investors would snap up the properties and keep prices high. I don’t understand how you can complain about high prices while investor demand is massively subsidized.

Important thing to consider is that many people may not report the wallet and not touch it being afraid of a rather popular scam when people who reported the stolen wallet were confronted with a claim that it had way more money inside and extorted on that amount. That actually happened to people i know in Russia. So in a way it may be simply a reflection of some countries being more criminal or dangerous so people just "mind their business", not that they are particularly dishonest.

So obviously they care about those things more than nature, just like they care about driving their car all over the city more than spending money on greenspace.

But you've defined education as learning how things are out there in the real world, including bullying which prevents children from getting what people traditionally called education.

One of the reasons some chatbots, like at Amazon, could be useful is because their FAQs are impossible to find.
I don't think this is a Hanlon's razor, not on Macron's part at least. Some other commenter said that Macron said people were chasing a rush found in video games, and not that the people wanted to reenact or imitate them.

Is it possible for people to stop polluting perfectly valid namespaces? I understand that the metaphors and analogies make snese but every time this occurs, whether it's software, films, or whatever, it furthers destroys the integrity of already crumbling search engines.

Edit: Because apparently this isn't clear enough:

1. Real world phenomena and technical projects are two distinctive categories, each encompassing a wealth of unique information.

2. Namespaces serve as unique identifiers, used to prevent naming conflicts in various domains.

3. When these namespaces are used within both real-world phenomena and technical projects, they overlap.

4. Overlapping namespaces, by their nature, blur the boundaries between distinctive categories.

5. Search engines operate by categorizing and associating information based on identifiers, specifically namespaces.

6. When these identifiers are blurred, the precision of search engines is compromised.

7. As search engine precision diminishes, the efficacy of search results for users decreases.

8. The reduction in search results efficacy translates to increased search times and decreased productivity, or an inability to find anything about the topic whatsoever due to results pruning.

9. A decrease in productivity is an indirect impact of namespace pollution, disrupting both those living in the real-world and those looking for technical information.

10. We already have to deal with SEO. We shouldn't need to deal with this as well.

this list is rather silly.

the "*shell","command","read/write/upload/download" lists are plausible. it's slightly non-obvious that running gdb also allows you to drop into a shell. you could envision a restricted account at a university lab or maybe a web-based system like godbolt give access to gdb, but forget about the "!". but it'd be a careless mistake. anyone who'd miss that really shouldn't be messing around with privilege separation in the first place.

the rest of it is hogwash: news flash - if you give access to bash, you've given shell access. any tool that allows you to provide a filename to be read/written to can be used to read or write over arbitrary files. so let's make a list of programs that can read/write files.

just about every entry under the other categories "sudo","su","setuid", "capabilities",etc. simply involves chaining sudo, su, suid etc. with a shell breakout which is already listed under "shell". the issue is still the shell breakout (or read/write/etc.)

the problem is that this list is inverted. here's my curated list of programs that are safe to run under sudo/su/setuid/etc. without being explicitly designed to do so, in all conditions, without knowing what you are doing: {}.

there are over 50,000 packages in Debian. why not just list them all here?

Supply and demand doesnt work for land like it does for everything else.

The more you tax, say, cars, the fewer youll get and vice versa.

Land isnt taxed and the main proxy for land tax (property taxes) are at historic lows.

A cop shot an unarmed teenager in the face point blank. So he wouldn't get away. What kind of "social contract", or whatever one would call it, is that? I mean, being invisible and rightless, but allowed to work and get a tiny fraction of the value your work represents, until someone just murders you and then makes it out you were such a danger to them?

I don't know about other Germans, but if I was treated that way, I would burn things down, too. At the least. Show me that you have no problems killing me, and that you wouldn't miss a beat, and I would not just roll over and live out my life making you richer and even bolder in that insolence.

The thing is, we aren't treated that way (neither are Swedes or whoever you might have in mind) and most of us leave the whole "don't wait until it's you" mostly to a poem by Niemöller, where it doesn't make any demands of us.

Is that really possible in the US? IIRC, the government has a mandate to educate every child, including those that are extremely developmentally disabled (which is why special education is such a huge item in school budgets). If a kid is expelled from school, wouldn't the district be legally required to find some alternative arrangement?
> Macron grew up without video games like we have today, so they're his go-to culprit

Video games were already made a culprit in the 80s and 90s, when Macron was a kid and a teenager (he’s 45). I’m pretty sure he’s aware of that.
This is a great start. I’m amazed at how much better my memory and problem solving are in the morning. I never noticed before I stopped drinking because the hangover used to wipe that out.

Being content with what you have is huge. I feel like a lot of successful people needed their grandmothers to sit them down and say “how much do you really need? Why not slow down and enjoy what you’ve got?”

As for the last point, my spin is a bit different. I don’t laugh when things go absurdly wrong, but I do focus forward. That has made me remarkably resilient. “Ok this all went pear-shaped, but the best outcome from here is X and that’s where I’m aiming.”
> I agree dealing with a bot in that situation sucks, but a big chunk of customer questions can probably be answered without human intervation by LLMs, assuming they have enough data about the organization and its products.

Hoenstly? I don't care about the company's problems giving support. If I have a problem, and the company won't resolve it, or if they waste too much of my time forcing me to go through a bot first, then I'm not their customer anymore. There are plenty of other places who actually appreciate my business.
Motivations and strategy for open sourcing AI model weights
I disagree wholeheartedly. Privacy-preserving technologies like including privacy-preserving AI (e.g., federated learning, homomorphic encryption) and privacy-preserving data linkage/fusion are really important. They're crucial in my day-to-day work in aviation safety, for example.

And telemetry is important. We have limited resources. How do we determine the number of users impacted by a bug or security vulnerability? Do we have a bug in our updater or localization? Are we maintaining code paths that aren't actually used? Telemetry doesn't magically improve user experience, but I'd rather make decisions based on real data rather than based on the squeakiest wheel in the bug tracker.

We can certainly make flawed decisions based on data, but I'd argue that we're more likely to make flawed decisions with no data.
17 dB is not bad for an isolator, but it's not good either. But this kind of just begs the question by using frequency mixers as the non-reciprocal element because frequency mixers are such lower power devices. I guess this helps for really lower power science stuff, but not so much communications.

Still, very cool! The only other non-magnetic non-reciprocal RF elements I can think of used angular-momentum bias.
Tough to say. Not all countries have total bans on DDT, and even the Stockholm Convention exempted vector control from the ban on certain organochlorine compounds. In any case, DDT-resistant mosquitoes were already starting to occur in the 1960s due to the unrestricted spraying. Spraying has mostly continued as indoor residual spraying, which still seems to be quite effective.

You can have unemployment as well as a worker’s shortage. You can have lots of need for nurses and carpenters, and also have lots of young people not qualified for those jobs who don’t have other prospects.
There's a hole in it, you just can't see it from that angle. Bottom port mics, where the hole is in the underside of the package and there's a matching hole in the PCB to allow sound in, are more common (and typically perform better) than top port mics, where the hole would be visible from the top side of the package. Both kinds do exist though.
Most of the non-electrified rail is in the northern parts of Norway. From what I can find around 10% of the fleet[1] operate on those non-electrified rails. However it includes Nordlandsbanen[2] which is our longest rail line at 729km.

Seems they're moving towards partially electrifying, and using battery or hydrogen for the remaining part. They've already started to acquire bimodal trains[3] for the transition.

Astronomy is not a human science. It is a physical science that is concerned with the study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. Astronomers use mathematics, physics, and chemistry to explain the nature and motion of these objects. Astronomy is also the study of the origin, evolution, and composition of the universe, as well as the search for extraterrestrial life. Everything that falls within the scope of astronomy is based on natural phenomena, which means it is impossible to conduct experiments in a traditional laboratory setting. Astronomy is, therefore, solely based on observation and analysis in which the astronomer seeks to explain what is happening outside of Earth’s atmosphere.
That checks out.

Understanding is not binary because problems are multi-dimensional
I found it interesting to learn about the etymology of the word "character". It comes to us from Latin which took it from the Greek (χᾰρᾰκτήρ) which comes from kharasso (χαράσσω) - I scratch or engrave.

Our character can be thought of as the result of a long process of engraving or scratching. I tend to see it as a solid metal shield full of scratches from long battles. The resulting grooves tend towards virtue or vice. A sustained habit of wise choices makes it easier to do the right thing - even when it is hard - when the time comes and it will come. A marriage, a deathbed, a career. Life has its fair share of hard choices and having grooves in your soul that guide your choices towards the virtuous helps immensely.

That's also useful to know for when you have unimportant tasks to complete. For some people this may comprise the majority of their career and/or life. However, those "unimportant" tasks still scratch your soul and those scratches ultimately matter. Even seemingly mundane things like taking out the garbage can be done with virtue in mind.

I'm fun at parties by the way.
