> a clear definition of God

The God of the Bible offers a profound reply to the question "Who are You?" He replies "I AM that I AM" as if He is not readily definable.

There are many characteristics of this God that spelled out in detail; His desire for truth and justice, His love for the widow and orphan, His hatred of evil and injustice, His power and glory, and His plan for this world. So even if His whole is blurry, there are aspects of His character and abilities that are spelled out in detail.

Is it enough for a metaphysical debate? I have no idea.
The police should exist to enforce law and justice. This prevents mob rule. You are correct that police do not currently serve this purpose.
Again, I can't say there isn't something there and to that. I can say that it almost always runs straight to racism. Such that I can understand the refrain from funding a lot of those investigations.

Not quite. More like they're partnering with others and staying internally focused on their core competencies, like any good company does.

> Previously ChromeOS was using a homemade graphics stack called "Freon," but now with Wayland, it'll be on the new and normal desktop Linux graphic stack.

More interesting than I thought it would be. Hopefully this means better upstream GPU support for the plethora of ARM tablets/laptops that run ChromeOS.
We're probably on the same page then. And I completely agree that there are better and worse options.

I mean that "fun harmless in-crowd things" can be disturbing from the outside - context and intent matters. A strange in-crowd name is pretty far down the "there are harmless causes for this" side of things imo. Using it in a layoff announcement is probably not the best place though, unless they honestly think the laid-off feel good about it. A large enough package might achieve that tbh, but that's obviously rarely the case.

I'm honestly not sure if there exists a thing that a business can do that its employees would enjoy that will not be interpreted as creepy by some. Everything excludes someone somewhere somehow, the most you can do is target your crowd as best you can... and people commenting on a forum are not in that target audience, so I find the obsession over the name here to be pretty dumb. (Not claiming you're obsessed, just that it's the majority of the comments here so far)

I've looked into the history of some of these perps before and I'm always shocked at how many chances they've been given to stop being shady-as-fuck scammers and it's almost like they're addicted to it. So yeah, they deserve whatever the FCC, FTC or whoever is dishing out (and probably much more).

Looking through this docket, these assholes have playing stalling games for years and they STILL aren't blocked yet. They get at least 14 days to respond, then the FCC has to decide they're still doing it, then it'll take another 30 days for the block to be mandatory.

Your journey to Apple's ecosystem makes sense. Their build quality is amazing. It's the software (MacOS) I can't stand granted I am all-in on everything Apple on other things (phone, watch, tv, ipad, airtags, etc).

I3 is what brought me to Linux. A true, proper, no-compromises tiling window manager is the killer feature. I didn't go to FreeBSD (given how much I love ZFS) because of containers/docker/podman (and how native fast container stuff is on Linux given it's just abstractions over things in the kernel ... yes yes BSDs have jails but we don't use BSD at work so...) and gaming on Linux (thank you Valve! and wine and proton folks).

Re Emacs every few months I try to dabble but the vi/vim muscle memory is just so so so hard to break. That being said for neovim I use AstroNvim. It's been dope.
The article is primarily about processing documents other than actual income tax returns. Does the U.K. have a completely digital (paperless) way of communicating with taxpayers and resolving issues after the tax return is filed?

The U.S. has had "online tax returns" (e-file) since the 1990s. Paid tax preparers are mandated to efile, it is only the minority of DIY taxpayers who insist on paper filing their income tax returns.

I'd say "effectively" is doing the heavy lifting here.

Which is to say, we could undo that database if we wanted to. If society decided it collectively hated SSNs, the work to obscure that system, or to poison that well, would be far easier than with irises.
Hiroshima wasn't a major industrial or military target: there was a military base on the edge of the city, but only about 10% of the civilians killed were military workers. Nagasaki is a better example, and the bomb did hit industrial targets. However, this is mostly an accident -- the primary aiming point was the residential center of the city. Bad weather forced the crew of Bock's Car to choose a secondary target, which happened to be located away from the residential center.
And this ableist anti-pedestrian shit is still here. Wonderful.

The problem with that is as inefficiency grows within the organization that receives the money - so do incentives to capture more. Even if it's coming from an external organization (the police), they can still communicate and find ways to work together through this perverse incentive.

This is more difficult if 100% of it goes out the door. Hypothetically you could still get ecosystem issues, though. Where an org argues for more fines so that their existence is justified and that they don't shrink. etc.
I agree we need some benchmarks working on getting this asap.
Just some general piece of advice: it's not productive to constantly be giving out the worst criticism you possibly can when someone does something that's not terrible but still unacceptable. Doing so just tells the companies that nothing satisfies the community and that they should stop trying.
Instead, it's better to mention what they did right and point to how they can make it better.

Based on the OP, Apple did not provide any reason as to why the account was flagged, just that they exhibited "Fraudulent patterns". What evidence are you expecting them to provide here when the service provider is so tight-lipped?
I think the debate as such is around insurgent warfare, where you're not fighting organized, unformed armies so much as bands of militias and guerillas, and the line between combatant and civilian is entirely transactional.

Total war stopped being a thing once it became certain the next one would lead to global nuclear annihilation.
I find that Fastmail's spam filters do a very good job of preventing these from ever reaching me. What provider are you using?
Thanks! This will be even more helpful if you could share a hint about where this was installed to.

I carefully went through the output generated by the "pip install -U audiocraft" command, and there were no clues provided.

I wonder if the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan prevented later usage of nuclear weapons.
If only part of the sample is superconducting and the other parts are ordinary conductors or isolators, the superconducting islands could show diamagnetism while being isolated from each other which means that eletrical current needs to pass resistive areas and therefore experiences resistance.

The point is it’s virtually impossible to put constraints on it that make it do what you want because if it’s more intelligent than you it can always think of something that you won’t, that’s technically within the rules you set but not at all intended. That’s why we’d need to make it care about the underlying intentions and values, but that’s also really hard
Does that make sense? It doesn't to me. The phrase "power structures" isn't even one most people understand (I'm not sure I do, and I'm a lawyer) so it's hard to believe the hundreds of police organizations that independently exist across this country exist to maintain them.

Police exist because they were funded by governments. They are the way they are because of the various incentives, organizational politics, their day-to-day experiences on the job, and the minds of the people who staff them. Rather than declaring them part of a fascist plot, why not just try to think about where improvements can be made?
IIUC in US constitutional terms the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" is actually "innocent until something (eg a trial) pronounces you guilty".

I'd say the amount of rent paid in proportion to time working (+supporting activities) divided by time awake should be fully above-the-line deductible, yes.

The point is there are many such deductions that businesses straightforwardly take, that natural persons are told it's all "personal use", despite them being directly necessary to sustain person-as-an-economic-actor.
Sure, but if you know writers, this in no way excludes the possibility I mentioned :)

The fact that result seem to be all over the place has me hopeful.

Even if we make an AI that wants to turn all matter into paper clips, we're so far away from an agent doing that I'm really not too worried.

I don't think there's any industry on earth that doesn't need humans in the loop somehow. Whether is mining raw material from the ground, loading stuff in machines for processing, and most importantly fixing broken down machines, robots are really bad at these things for the foreseeable future.

Not to mention AI needs constant electricity, which is really complicated and requires humans fixing a lot of stuff.
Which ones slap? I want them to, but what I'm hearing is only OK. I think this could generate some interesting starting points for me when I'm stuck, though.

I respect your journey! My son, 8, is not able to cope in school, but is able to read, write, dream, solve math problems, and be extremely friendly to people. Due to the pandemic, we took him out of kindergarten, and homeschooled him, like many. Online classes were a joke for that age, but one on one with Mom worked great.

We wanted him to be in school with his peers, desperately. The steps involved in getting him re-enrolled were numerous, and exhausting. Once 2nd grade started, the reality quickly became obvious to us. He learns far more at home than in the 'structure' of school. He could be placed in a more severe structure, but we opted to bring him back home to teach him. My thinking is that by developing an ability to read, write, and think, he will have the tools to better cope with the world. Of course, it is a gamble, and social skills are not easy. But anyone who thinks, send him to school to develop social skills is not really looking at the details.

As for Autism being an adaptation, I think that is true, like many adaptations. His math skills, and memory are genius level. He seems highly adapted to computers, ipads, and abstract thinking, like numbers, spelling, birthdays, etc. He would make an excellent QA engineer.

Again, respects to you on your journey through this.
Yeah. I did 90kloc of python porting. Twice. Never working for a company that allows developers to use python again.

I'm glad you were able to port your scripts, but python is absolutely not appropriate for mission critical software.

Nope. CAF is theft. Reallocating the ill got gains to something you like doesn’t make it right. SSA is worth funding on its own. We shouldn’t need to arbitrarily steal from people to fund it. And we certainly shouldn’t leave SSA funding up to the police.

We have fundamental concepts like equal representation and equal treatment under the law that clearly show CAF to be wrong.

I mean, it's definitely my opinion, that's why I did the "it seems." To me it does feel obvious, but I do wonder if others agree?

I mean, I've read Infinite Jest (I did mostly skip the footnotes) but I can't get through more than a few pages of every Franzen novel I've tried. Could just be me.
I can _only_ learn top-down. Facts without context are much less interesting and much more difficult to internalize. The incentive to understand, inspired by said context, is a prerequisite to mustering the motivation needed to to truly learn with sustained focus without losing interest. My ADHD brain will stop cooperating otherwise, and I’ll find myself daydreaming against my will!
> both systems [capitalism and communism] are technically failures because they both have not lead to a scenario where the cost of ensuring that the base physiological needs of every member of society has dropped to a point where it's just a given that every member of society will have access to three meals a day and a secure and warm shelter.

What? That's a very weird take.

Firstly, your goal might be way too high. Even in theory, a system can be optimal without being good enough. If there isn't a way to produce enough food (for example) no matter what, then a system that produces the maximum amount of food that is possible wouldn't be a failure in my eyes.

Secondly, this makes an implicit comparison between the two systems and finds them both similarly wanting. But capitalism almost completely solves the problem of "three meals a day and warm shelter", whereas communism famously doesn't solve it at all. Under capitalism, a tiny minority of people starved. Under communism, millions starved. It's not even close.

And while yes, the fact that we throw away so much food is terrible, but it's definitely better than not having enough, and that happens because of capitalism, for the most part.
While I do not agree with the tone of the grandparent comment, I can envision different motivations for women due to the power imbalance and higher risks for women. For a man, there is very little risk in having relations with any given woman.

Apple does this as well, but this is a Band-Aid. Think of the old people who get scammed by these calls. This is a system issue and should be fixed as such. It’s frankly embarrassing how the phone companies have effectively killed the “phone call” through their neglect.
Their legitimate customers are. If that means getting the operator to clean up their act, so much the better. If they won't, then at some point their legitimate customers will suffer.

And will probably have to jump to a more expensive provider who isn't subsidizing them with spammer revenue.
I’m not sure about dumber, but definitely differeny. (i’m using chatGpt 4). One area that seems worse is rewriting to improve spelling etc. It seems that it now often switches to another word for no reason. The text doesn’t get any better from this odd rewrites. It likes to pick fancy academic words instead the words I had chosen. If you tell it sternly in your prompt not to change words unless they are clearly wrong, it will comply though
One overlooked cause of the return to office trend is local tax breaks.

Big companies negotiate large tax breaks from city and state governments in exchange for bringing a certain number of jobs to the area. But big companies haven't been delivering the jobs to the area that they promised because employees have been allowed to work remotely. So now they are at risk of huge tax bills.

Depending on what you are looking for from an audio book, there are options. If you expect essentially a professionally made radio production of the book (multiple voice actors, effects, etc) then a real audio book is hard to beat.

On the other hand if you just want to listen to the book being read, check out https://github.com/aedocw/epub2tts ... It does not sound as good as a pro human, but it's not far off in my opinion. I've used that to listen to 30+ books that I owned the digital version of.

Victims of crime should not be given special powers. If anything, their biased position makes them less able to understand that the accused has rights, should be evaluated impartially, are presumed innocent, and shouldn't be subject to unfair punishment if proven guilty.

I'm really tired of seeing internet commentary on "tough on crime" attitudes where people think victims are basically judge and jury, possibly omniscient, and their hurt and revenge fantasies should decide policy for millions of unrelated people, supersedes the needs of everybody else, like our need to have an impartial justice system and prevent wrongful conviction.

But getting back to your comment, if you want to know where the "perverse incentive" is in your proposal, it creates incentive for someone to falsely present themselves as a victim of a crime.
Are cities still more expensive than rural areas if you adjust for income of the inhabitants?

Maybe cities are just more productive economically, so people earn more, so they can pay more.

I think where having more housing helps though is making your city more diverse. If you have fancy housing for doctors and grungy housing for artists, your city will have a better art scene than if you only have fancy housing.

I listened to this >2h essay about the atomic bombing over a year ago. I'm writing mostly from memory, so there might be errors in my summary.

I think the argument was that the reason for the atomic bombing was not really a military necessity (fleet admirals Leahy and Nimitz at least seemed to think so). The Japanese were already signaling they were willing to surrender well before the bomb dropped -- but not yet _unconditionally_. The one condition they had was that the emperor had to stay in place and should not be punished for the war. The US could have chosen to accept this condition and end the war, but didn't for a variety of reasons (none of them military).
