>> mostly after the feeling of intimacy of doing something with another person and talking to them

This is called "topping from the bottom". They're paying her, therefore they're in charge, and expecting to get the emotional payout they've put her in the position of giving them.

My gf was a professional dominatrix for 10 years and a stripper before that. The vast majority of men who engage those services are (by their own claim) just looking for - as you put it - feelings of intimacy. But it's not really limited to that. Why? Because their notion of intimacy is bound with ownership. This is a very difficult thing for us men to acknowledge, but it's fundamentally true. I mean: I can't ever be really intimate - completely intimate - with a woman I don't own, or who doesn't own me. The boundaries of power and control are so closely tied with the boundaries of sexual intimacy that the mere interplay between the two systems gives rise to an entire category of labor, i.e. sex work; which is differentiated into simple physical jobs versus psychological ones like domineering. This is what fucking billionaires pay for. It's not to be put in their place by a lowly "sex worker" - it's to be put in their place with proof that they are no better than this girl off the street.

Cam work is humiliating because you can't assail the dude. It leads to wrong conclusions on both sides about, for instance, who's actually in charge.
>Most likely, the material LK99 as reported in [1-3] is a heterophase structure, with co-existent non-superconducting constituents. This may yield superconducting droplets surrounded by nonsuperconducting material...

>In fact, I find that Cu on this Pb(2) is 1.08 eV more energetically favorable than Cu on the Pb(1) site, suggesting possible difficulties in robustly obtaining Cu substituted on the Pb(1) site.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.16892

The paper from Dr. Griffin at LBNL suggests copper atoms have to be placed in a specific (but less likely) position in the molecule to result in the desired flat band characteristic. Also, the original authors and the labs who were able to replicate LK-99 are reporting they had to make multiple batches to even find a tiny piece that shows levitation. This suggests that you just have to be very lucky to produce a sample with high enough concentration of LK-99 to observe levitation.

If we can somehow confirm that LK-99 is truly a room temperature superconductor, billions of dollars of R&D fund will pour in to improve the fabrication process. When the first transistor was invented, people probably weren't imagining that we'll be mass producing them in nanometer scale in the future. Or maybe LK-99 will be stuck in a lab like graphene. Who knows?

Honestly, I really like that the AWS implementation is not magic. AWS is the only one of the big 3 cloud providers where I can reasonably assume I get what it says on the lid, and that it works with the pieces it advertises working with (whereas other cloud providers tend to be more nebulous in their documentation).

GCP especially takes a lot more trial and error building systems that compose a bunch of different primitives. That the API is awful doesn't help either.

Part-time job? Friends or in-laws they'd like to impress? Studying for JLPT? Just wanting to be able to speak everyday Japanese as it's spoken?

Respectfully, I really think you have a distorted sense of this due to whatever your background is. Per a quick google, some of the terms I listed earlier show up in JLPT from level 3. I'm no expert but I don't think N3 is considered high-level diplomacy territory. If you got by here without using such terms that's fine, but it's no argument against studying them - lots of people get by without learning kanji, etc.

Sounds like you are shitposting, but the Steam Deck has one of the best price-perf ratios available.

When my laptop motherboard died, I extracted the SSD, and I now boot it up on my deck, on the same docking station. It's snappier than before!

Of course, it's less portable. The SD desperately needs a second USB port for that kind of setup. I'd also need a Bluetooth keyboard for portability.

Even the standard "desktop mode" interface is serviceable. I've got some real work™ done with it.

I know everyone goes on about the famous Sunbeam toaster, but I proudly own what I think is one of the nerdiest, coolest toasters ever created, the Kenwood Virtu (https://appliancist.com/breakfast/toasters/kenwood-toaster-v...), now redesigned as the Kendwood Persona (https://www.kenwoodworld.com/en/persona-ttm610/p/TTM610).

This is a very unusual single long slot toaster with a huge wide slot. There is no spring basket to hold the bread centered in the slot: rather you manually change the slot width itself by moving the toasting elements up against the bread. For the same reason, you must manually raise and lower the toast yourself (and can do so at any time to check on the toasting situation). This toaster can toast huge pieces of bread, sandwiches, croissants, you name it.

The primary downside of this toaster is that its toaster elements are inconsistent and uneven. But it is an exceptionally unique design.
While I can definitely believe that China is going to try take Taiwan one day, I don't really believe that they will mount military expeditions to other continents. It goes too much against Chinese civilizational history. The Chinese were mostly interested in themselves only and the barbarians outside were just a good source of tribute (nowadays: resources). Plus, empire building is very expensive, as both the British and the Americans would attest.

Unless some kind of longevity revolution comes soon and Xi stays on the throne forever, I would expect the next Chinese leader to turn inward again.

>Even Windows itself has adopted some of those exact same compatibility layers to make games run properly.

sure, Microsoft used a compatability layer to translate microsoft's API to an API Microsoft also maintains to an open source API. As far as I see it, it doesn't introduce any further points of failure that I don't already have by relying on Microsoft.

an open source compatibility layer relying on Microsoft's API... It unfortunately isn't a communicative property here.

>SteamOS solved the chicken-and-egg problem and is demonstrating that Linux-based gaming is viable.

Sure, just not in a way I feel is productive for the long term. But again, to each their own.

>2% isn't a massive number, but it might just be enough for a game developer to justify compiling a Linux-native version too.

In my mind, it reduces the need because why not just rely on Valve to do the hard "porting" work for you? It's a win-win for a dev who simply wants to launch a game. I hope your vision is the correct one, but I'm not so optimistic.

Not a personal win for someone who wants less leverage from large corporations.
That article does not even mention Ada/SPARK... So much for safety. :P Yup, there is static analysis with Ada/SPARK and it is great. It is much more general-purpose than ATS, and there are other things in Ada/SPARK that increases safety in general, not only memory safety.

For what it is worth, Ada/SPARK has a strong presence in safety-critical domains like aerospace and medical devices, while Rust is gaining popularity in system programming and web development. ^^ I'm surprised that it is not as widespread. That, or lots of misconceptions.

It might be that the process to make LK99, produces a fraction of the Good Stuff, which went under the radar until recently. It would not have been the first time. If it is confirmed with the proper methodology ... right now it's too early to build castles on LK99.
Don't you think partners should support each other? Equally? I am a tall, decent looking man as well and I did not give it up easily, why do you think it's OK to assume that about the parent commenter — after he stated his values? If sex is valued (by someone) as one of the most intimate interactions / experiences someone can share with a partner, then yes, it's a role of potential partners (and that someone if they don't have double standards) not to "give it up". Otherwise they aren't as good partners for that someone and it is fine to have that preference.

If I somehow messed up in my judgement and "gave it up" to the wrong person, I'd totally be fine with someone else valuing me less or even not considering me as a potential partner. Even if they had double standards in that regard, that's fine, our values are just not aligned and we're not meant for each other romantically.

No, without your assumptions this thread does not reek of double standards. Your comment reeks of toxicity, gender-based. And I don't think that's what an average person you interact with (online) deserves, regardless of their gender or the discussed topic.

That's not the competition I really meant, replace hardware vendors with OS vendors / Google.

"Android certified" means it follows Google's rules, so there's no way to compete by creating alternative security model (for example where the user has more power).

So the anticompetitive part is the attestation part, which artificially makes it impossible to run an app that'd otherwise work on the system that doesn't follow Google's rules.

For me it still doesn't make sense. Cryopreservation is legal and done only to dead people. Which means if they want to be alive again two problems need to be solved: 1) unfreeze with success, 2) resurrect. Both are non trivial for quite some years.
But you're making assumptions about the intent already. What if they just enjoy casual sex? You seem to correlate that having sex or short relationships is already an attempt at finding a lifelong partner, which is... really a personal opinion.

People go out, have short relationships / flings, one night stands without any intent other than have fun. It's fine. Let people have things.
How about a dystopian future where all of the grunt work is performed by an army of enslaved people woken up after being cryo frozen at some indeterminate time in the past.

Well, you do not see people mentioning Ada/SPARK whenever memory safety is the topic of discussion, do you? They mention Rust! Well, I do mention Ada/SPARK as much as I can because it is still a much safer language in general than Rust.
> and once you certify you cannot make changes to the package without having to certify again..

Oh you are so naive... You probably wish it worked like that, but in practice it doesn't.

The certification process is completely broken today. First of all, it allows proprietary software / hardware to go through this process (which is the majority of applicants by far). Typically, FDA or similar will ask for company's own research that establishes that the software works with absolutely no way of verifying that it does. They, as well, have no way of ensuring that whatever version was used to produce the research results is the one that's being installed on the hardware shipped to the hospital / patient. Companies producing software routinely patch their software if they discover problems after initial release and don't hesitate to claim that it was approved.
The earth's climate changes naturally over the course of tens of thousands of years. The key for us is to minimally impact it and let it do what it wants.

Now.... We may disagree on letting it go as it goes. Ice ages would overtake a ton of countries in glaciers entirely, so we may agree that that should be stopped? But........ Doing that would be directly trying to challenge the solar system and earth on their natural cycles. There would likely be massive unforeseen repercussions.

Not an idiot. I know it’s something we say in passing as a way to belittle ourselves to our mistake and that nobody takes it at face value but by you saying you’re an idiot, even in the most casual passing, deeply ingrains a thought that you are indeed an idiot. Which you are not, because if you were an idiot then you wouldn’t even know and therefore wouldn’t even be calling yourself an idiot if you were.

This isn’t a dig at you specifically but just a comment to anyone who reduces themselves over a minor mistake.
>reportedly poor description of how to do so

Isn't it false?

I have read that the description is pretty extensive, just the yelds are really bad because the production method is 1) hard and 2) inconsistent?

So the description is good but hard to replicate
Well steady on there. The problem people have with bad science is not that there are misses, it's that there's no way for them to reliable decide when they've had a hit and so they end up inventing fraudulent pseudo-science. What's happening with LK-99 is science as people tend to imagine it working. Hypothesis -> experimentation -> replication -> theory.

But that sort of science seems to be quite rare. Most science people are exposed in their daily lives is of the Francesca Gino variety, and that's not merely "a lot of noise with unknown variables", that's "nobody will care if we don't do real science so let's not bother".
> Of course, that may not be much, but I think Valve cares more about the customer than any other company listed above.

I've seen enough of the dark side of Valve to not trust that notion any more than any of Epic's promise. They haven't won that goodwill of "trust me" from me.

Besides, private companies scare me a tiny bit more in the grand scheme of things. A large company is evil, but boring. It's really hard for any new CEO to radically change the direction of a company in the short term. But Gabe won't live forever, and who knows who/what takes over later. taking action against a private company as a consumer is much harder than a public company that at least needs to care a bit about shareholders when making unpopular moves.

I’m France, I felt the opposite: American movies are so surreal with so much violence and guns for everyone, and sex is weirdly depicted.

I think French movies contained some sex scene almost all the time, mainly because it’s what happens in life so it’s just normal to see it in a movie. I think you can see some boobs in a movie if it’s rated for age 12 and up.

Nowadays, I think the American culture has rubbed off on Europe a bit more, and nudity alone is less ok in films or movie. So you can go to a movie where it’s expected to not show boobs, and then head up to the public beach where 20% of women are topless and nobody gives a shit. A bit dissonant.

Yet, I agree that having a sex scene in a movie sometimes feels like it’s wasting time if it’s not a good part of the story.
