So is the point of clarification around the baby formula thing there was actually an article oh few months ago a while back anyway that pointed out that most of this baby formula that was being stolen wasn't actually by needing mothers but was actually part of a massive international crime syndicate that was stealing it and then reselling the goods.

It turns out that when it's easy to steal things that people need organized crime will get low-level people like drug addicts and petty criminals to steal the goods for them who then give it to an intermediary middleman who then moves it to the person at the top that then resales it online and they're able to have fantastic prices because they have no no unit cos. In fact in many cases a lot of stolen goods tend to end up being part of organized crime not homeless or needy people that need things. People who need things generally we have a robust social safety net that includes things like food stamps and housing assistance in many parts of the country already.
Maybe my issue is really the word "justification" because I find that very harsh in that context.

I have no reason to believe that one brand is categorically better than another so I typically buy from someplace like puritans pride because of cost. Seems to work. From the website it’s cheaper than if you buy from their Amazon store.

But I wouldn’t call this a recommendation, more if a report of my choice and my reasoning.

I’m sure there are “better” options, but I don’t care if I have to ingest 200 mg of one brand to get the benefit I would get from 100mg of another brand, for 4x the price. In all I’d rather buy from a source that moves a lot of production and is less likely to be counterfeited or suffer from production inconsistencies.

But that’s just like, my unfounded and poorly considered opinion so…
FWIW, that isn't actually part of the core git binary. Because unlike fossil, git is a collection of executables, not just one.
> With a pure counter-based system, you need robust distributed storage and you need the machine to reserve batches of IDs via committing writes to the robust distributed storage. Otherwise, a disk failure may cause you re-issue UUIDs.

Yes, a pure counter based system is probably worse than one that uses time. Don't use counters, especially not in a distributed setting.

Another "the cake is finite" dumb argument?
Seems like a textbook example of NIH to me. By the time you understand git well enough to design a good replacement, you’re bound to be an expert and ought to appreciate more the design of git.

If you don’t like the lack of a good GUI or web application, you can just build one that works the way you want and still works with git.

I suspect what makes humans special is our combination of intelligence and communication. Society is kind of like a superorganism, we get to learn from the sum of all human knowledge.

Most of the things I know came from other humans who died long before I was born. I get to benefit from all their brainpower indirectly. I'd be much dumber on my own.
Yes, and those organizations are dumb, and should be ignored. Any organization that somehow thinks that leaving mentally ill people on the streets to live in squalor and danger is better than institutionalization should not have a place in policy decisions.

It is mind-boggling to me that this is at all debatable.

Obviously we need to mandate levels of treatment and care, and constantly audit institutions to ensure conditions are maintained at a high level. But this is not even remotely an unsolved problem. We shouldn't let the failures of the past force us into failures today.

Yes, which is why git is a pain in the butt to install and you have to rely on your OS packages (which includes all the kitchen sink stuff) or a GUI installer with all the necessary dependencies vs. Fossil which is just download executable and done.

Those modalities should be discernable when looking at data by age (assisted death tends to occur at older ages) and, with a slightly greater data burden, comorbidities.

When looking at data, an otherwise healthy 20 year old, and an 80-something with multiple chronic and/or terminal Dx's, would stand out.

The challenge in looking at population-level data is that the Dx may well not be available, though other indicia might suggest this (e.g., residence is an assisted-living or long-term care facility). In practice, studies are frequently limited to available data, and proxies are frequently used. These may not be appropriate for specific individuals, but at scale, the law of large numbers and general correlation are your friends.
long long ago i had some fun stitching frames into a panorama from some really old footage (by hand).

States need to start doing better taking care of the people they’ve made themselves responsible for. We can talk about expanding that when they’re doing a better job of what they are responsible for now.

Jails need to be supportive places where a person actually has the opportunity to grow and experience some dignity.

Facilities for the profoundly disabled need to be appropriately funded and there needs to be more room to those need.

Facilities for those experiencing mental health crises need more space and resources so they can actually get in in a timely manner and spend the time they need.

Quality of care needs to be improved across the board.

Then you can start talking about expanding to people who are having lots of trouble taking care of basic life necessities either temporarily or long term.

A lot of people really do just need a time when their basic needs are met with some good life advice provided to reset and rebuild themselves.

But the state doing it in the past has turned into minimizing costs and incredibly inhumane treatment of people least capable of advocating for themselves.
PRNGs are cheap to compute, and 'random' enough.
The point in saying money is a made up construct is that, well, yeah, communism. With infinite possibilities of products and 8 billion players, capitalism, as a way to distribute the collective output of humanity just makes sense. But where there's misery, destitution, and hopelessness, money's just a made up concept and we could make things so much better just by flipping a couple of bits in a database somewhere to create money out of thin air and fund soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Of course we won't and can't actually do that because so many reasons, but if you look past money, and see that its just some system we came up with one day, I fantasize about other solutions to the problem of distribution with the technology we have available to us today, that we didn't have 50 or 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 years ago.

"The real play is when you've got small networks of co-workers or friends who can share whatever they want securely," Rogers said in an interview. "It could be a group of government officials sharing secure documents or it could be Justin sharing video files with AOL Dulles."

IMHO (yours may differ) much of what we use the internet for, namely person-to-person or person-to-small-group communication, could be accomplished using such software, as an alternative but not a replacement for doing these tasks over someone else's website. Those websites have grown to such ridiculous size, backed by entire datacenters, that people refer to them as "services" and "platforms". But for the task of communicating over the internet, as the programmer saying goes, "There's more than one way to do it." With the gigantic websites run by other people, there's an incentive for advertising. Large audiences and easy access to them, not to mention the ability to eavesdrop and track behaviour. With small networks managed only by the participants using software they choose, that incentive does not exist because advertising is relatively infeasible. For example, the top commenter in this thread states he has been running a WASTE network for years. How does one inject advertising and track consumer behaviour on his network. The answer is they don't. And IMHO that's one reason why this category of software is so useful.

Not to be whiny, but we had better versions of git before git was the standard. I'm thinking specifically of Mercurial.
> and providing ssh access to the directory

Well, doing that securely and somewhat aclainf isn't easy and file access permissions are a pain.

If you remember to update the index regularly serving .git via HTTP is easy for read-only access, but all else is quite a bit more involved.
It's a shame you're being downvoted for pointing out an "inconvenient truth" about climate change headlines.
Has anyone used any of these sims to try model what a city may be like with autonomous vehicles.

Or, specifically, for lack of a better term, a city(s) where all transportation is done through a ride sharing system, including autonomous vehicles and mass transit.

I’m guessing it’s a combination traffic and economic sim (to deal with issues like surge pricing).

But maybe it could examine questions like:

* do autonomous vehicles reduce the overall number of vehicles.
* lower necessary street capacity.
* can parking be moved outside the city center (for example overnight parking when demand is lowest and cars are idle/charging).
* how do pedestrian patterns change.

Etc.
Human understanding of consciousness/intelligence is so full of bias due to all of our scientific knowledge being derived from human consciousness. We have set an impossible bar for animal and AI intelligence not on objective ontological premises, but largely on human primacy hubris. Hubris which considers the concentration and usurpation of resources more intelligent than the communal or even universal or natural distribution. Hubris which considers survival at all costs more intelligent than self sacrifice for the collective. Hubris which says, yeah, chimps can effortlessly remember way longer sequences than humans, but is that useful memory? Afterall they haven't tricked themselves into spending most of their waking hours staring at a blinking box.
To your point, yes. But the somewhat hypocritical thing is that Apple says don't use iCloud for things that need to be timely, but then gives examples that absolutely require timeliness. For example, the user is watching or reading something on one device and then seamlessly picks up at the same point on another one.

It's not so much that you have to prepare for network problems; it's that Apple doesn't tell you if the local key/value store EVER synced. If it synced but there was no difference between the local and remote store, you don't even get confirmation that yep, we're all good to go.

At least that's how it was the last time I used it.

> until we find some magical battery breakthrough

It doesn't have to be magical. It can just be steady improvement in battery chemistry.

Nio's cars have swappable battery packs. The current battery sizes they use are 75 kWh, 100 kWh, and their new battery option is 150 kWh:

https://cnevpost.com/2023/07/07/nio-user-manuals-include-150...

From 75 to 150 kWh that's a doubling of energy content in the same physical pack dimensions, and the 150 kWh pack has only a 20 kg weight increase versus the 100 kWh pack.

A 75 or 100 kWh pack with the same WeLion chemistry would weigh less than Nio's existing 75 and 100 kWh packs. Once production scales up Nio may well switch all the packs to the WeLion chemistry if the price is right.

That's not achieved through magic. It's achieved through better battery chemistry.
You can make similar assertions about anything of a forced nature like that. Public schools, prisons, etc. Because some do prisons or public schools are done badly, it is not an argument against them in general, because you can point to many other cases where they were done properly.

My point was the breach of doctor-patient confidentiality. Which destroys the foundation of trust therapy requires. Being "legally compelled" to get help does not mean that help will be received. Forced compliance has never worked. There's plenty of history to back up that statement. I don't understand if you're trying to show how much you know about mental health or something but it appears you missed the greater point.

IMO we do the same for crime. And maybe that should be the standard? Many of the mentally ill homeless repeatedly commit minor and major crimes throughout their existence in that state, and they essentially become prison type 2?

That's a strawman argument. They are not arguing that it's good for people to live on the streets. What they are arguing is that the abuse associated with making it easier to incarcerate mentally ill people is too great of a risk.
"every level of American to be meaningfully wealthier" - I don't get this statement. I know a few people who own homes / property and they could perhaps qualify for this statement - but that gets into the weeds of they don't have that money in hand - sure they could sell, but they can't rebuy in the same city. Yeah second mortgages and of course when they die the property could convert to cash.. but they don't get to live much wealthier in general..

Most people I know that do not own property are doing much worse today than they were 10 years ago, and 15 years ago - everything is more expensive, and they do not earn much more.. they would be better off going back 15 years with what they earned then and pricing for housing / food / cars being what it was.

I'm wondering in what parts of the country that this is inverse.
Thank you for the kind note. I’m sure he’d love to hear from you.

The Ephorate did have power, which ultimately corrupts them to some degree, but they were not required to be wealthy and their term lasted for only one year.

My initial comment was about the "deep state" (non-electable de-facto powers with vast influence) in Sparta, which were the rich families run by the πατρούχοι that had an immense influence over the diarchy and Sparta at large. They used their wealth to influence most of the Spartan institutions, resulting in more wealth which ultimately tipped the balance of power to their side.

You are just incredibly confused, thinking that I am talking about the movie/visual novel 300, and then turning this into some kind of movie review.

Yeah, exactly.

Chat models ingest the entire conversation every time they are queried, so the context (and the training data) is the whole Q+A.

Hence sometimes the llm thinks a particular answer is "done" without emitting the proper end token, so they keep trying to complete the context... Which is another question a user would ask from its training dataset.

You can force this behavior in llama chat finetunes by forcing the model to generate infinitely. It will keep on generating questions + answers.
The term "hacking" is working on multiple levels here of course.
Asylums are prison type 2, and I am already subjected to the possibility of prison for crimes. Most arguments against asylums is an argument against criminal prosecution, police and prisons in general. Make the standards the same then and only subject to committing an actual crime in the first place?
Maybe but there is a very big overlap

No way. A linter is deterministic. ChatGPT is all over the place and, for me, it’s wrong almost every time I ask it anything. I wouldn’t trust it to tell me the ingredients in a pepperoni pizza. I’m definitely not letting it give me programming advice.

Dealing with SSH on a significantly multi-user system is anything but trivial. In more ways than one, this exact problem more than anything else is what spurred the invention of what we now call containers, and it still is not a perfect solution.
Actually it does, because with the windows git it includes it's own copy of ssh and bash, both of which will clash and fight with msys and/or other ssh installs - including the copy of ssh that microsoft themselves tuck away in \windows\system32

it's quite 'normal' for git-for-windows' ssh-agent to completely disable ssh-agent from working properly system-wide because it ends up pointing things at the wrong ssh-agent.
