Exactly. It’s a newtonian game where an action creates a counter action. “You take off one of our field agents, we take off one of your. You return our agent to us, we probably return your agent to you”
I have no idea of the recruitment pool but I would imagine operatives who can perform assassinations and are not total loose cannons are in finite supply.

Without experience in this domain, I could fermi-guess optimal ones probably come from the few percentages of population who don’t suffer of PTSD after violence. So if you want a person of above average intelligence, who does not mind going to plausibly suicidal missions, and is able to keep it all together, AND has decided to take a career in cloak&dagger… I’d say such fields agents are not trivial to replace. Hence you probably want to issue the courtesy of returning opposing forces, rather than having to find a new field agent (or whatever they are called) or several.
I'm entirely fine with far less growth if corporations start being responsible and understand what long-term effect they might have.
If I understand this correctly, this gives users the power to add even more features to C++.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a terrible idea in that it does have some use cases. But also, I wonder if the authors would be better off adding the MOP to a language like C which is simpler and would benefit more from having extra features.
> The point about a JSON API is a good point

In a well-designed system, these two are not mutually exclusive but simply two facets of the same request pipeline. The JSON API simply serializes the model as JSON.

The HTMX-specifc API applies a template/transform over the model and returns HTML instead. If one thinks of hypertext as another serialization target, it's easy to see how one would easily be able to serve both JSON for pure APIs and hypertext for HTMX.
Have many open source projects have embraced htmx as their way of doing things? Or are there any non-IT projects that have adopted?

It would be interesting to see how it’s been working out for folks.
> It's why often farm water usage is not nearly as bad as it superficially seems, and why farm water usage of a river can be multiples of the actual river flow

It's bad enough that not only is a huge share of river water used, but that the actual ground is sinking in the Central Valley from depletion of groundwater resources:

They do make great games and have a very controlling ecosystem, which honestly I have no problem with - it's their IP and they can do what they want with it. Much like Apple, their integration with hardware is quite tight and their first-party content is usually really well done. Miles better than the first-party outputs from Sony or Nintendo.

Apparently, though, their corporate culture is VERY Japanese and kind of crappy. I know someone who negotiated with them directly and although the gentleman was and remains a massive fan of Nintendo, the experience put a bad taste in his mouth.

Wish Nintendo would also listen to fans and give some of their lesser IP a fresh coat of paint. Can't believe it's been nearly 20 years since a new F-Zero, and probably over a decade since we've had a decent Star Fox. Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Earthbound could all use some love, too.

IDO2 is stimulated during any infection but ongoing IDO2 expression could come from an iron deficiency. Iron is the cofactor for TPH1 and TPH2 which turns tryptophan into serotonin. If that is not working the tryptophan will be turned into kynurenine by IDO1 and IDO2.

I think addressing child's inner world on its own terms was attempted by the victorians to begin with, they had the whole cult of child thing, lewis carol serenading a prepubescent girl. but I think j.m. barrie did it with gusto, recognizing the symbolic and the gruesome, like you said. the grab bag of sword fights, scalps, pirates is an old time-y equivalent of going "and then the transformer shot his laser at the dinosaur, and the whole thing EXPLODED!!!"

the deliberately constructed world is essential to the various actual points of the story. it strongly delineates peter pan's world of childhood imagination and whimsy, from the various intrusions into it: Wendy as a romantic partner and a mother figure, the various lost boys accidentally growing up, etc. this is not a complicated idea, and Jim hart and nick castle have a field day with it in their Hook adaptation. like the amazing food fight scene.

When lobbyists in Germany advocated for increased cooperation with Russia and against letting Ukraine into NATO because "we Germans have a moral debt towards Russians" - it seems ethical, humble, self-depreciating and anti-imperialistic.

But it was the exact opposite in reality. Notice how Germans hadn't said the same about other eastern european nations before 2022. Despite the fact that other nations were hit just as hard if not harder by Germany in WW2, and unlike Russians - didn't started the WW2 as allies of hitler.

Somehow the debt only applied to the authoritarian militaristic country that has lots of gas, not to its victims.

The historical self-depreciating rhetoric of some pro-russian Germans was used to justify siding with the bully against the victim because it's more profitable and historically it was the "realpolitik" choice.

Yes, imperialism is bad. But sucking up to imperialist regimes just because they aren't your own country isn't the answer. WTF people.

Especially in California, where they are forcing people to rip up their lawns and trying to guilt folks into feeling horrible if they take a shower a minute too long, meanwhile they're doing nothing about what is actually the biggest cause of the problem.

A classic.

1. Problem is too obvious to ignore

2. Get in front of people finding the root causes by blaming individual citizen/consumer choices

3. Less of a need to actively run propaganda on behalf of the actual entities that are making the problems (e.g. apparently alfalfa agriculture in this case)

I only discovered this because of an accidental keyboard malfunction ~10 years ago.

I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open Task Manager. And then I was confused that the list wasn't moving around. Sorted by CPU usage and still, the list just wasn't updating.

Thought I'd discovered some rare bug. So I closed task manager and then when I tried to open it up again using Ctrl+Shift+Escape, I realized the Ctrl key was already pressed.

Thank you to the grime in the walls of the key housing of my Ctrl key in my uncleaned membrane keyboard. Wouldn't have discovered this feature without you.
I guess that fee likely comes from the fact that the owners of the apartments voted to install cable internet hookups to the building and pay over time since it's a large fee and everyone can benefit from it. It's often the case in an apartment that a shared service, such as a new elevator, is paid for collectively, even if you don't use it, so it's not surprising that you did have to pay. I wouldn't lump it in with the specific discussion here because it's not about "hidden fees" since it's tangential, as the internet company wasn't charging you a fee through some backhanded method. If you moved in after the connections were added you should have seen this when you got the initial contract as well, so it shouldn't have been a surprise.
Cases get caught up in court because for the most part government agencies try to rip up contracts without paying and they often lose. Most Farmers have a price that they willingly pay to give up their Perpetual water rights.

In general, the US legal system legal system does not allow forced taking without appropriate compensation.

You can use the Kelly Criterion [0] to compute the optimum bet amount given the odds, the payoff, the cost of a ticket, and the size of your bankroll.

Usually the optimum bet is zero because the expected value is negative.

But when the jackpot gets big enough, occasionally the Kelly Criterion will advise buying a ticket or two if your bankroll is really big, like $10 million.

I think it’s mostly a matter of scale. The US does all of those things (maybe not genocide). They’re a lot better at whitewashing it.
We have cultural values about respecting the dead and respecting bodily autonomy. If you asked me not to eat pesto at your relative's funeral, or not to use the corpse's hand to stir my pesto pot, I wouldn't, even though I know nobody would be harmed and it's just about your feelings.

If you asked me not to eat pesto on a normal day in your house, again I wouldn't, because that's a small sacrifice to make you feel better, and I value being a nice person. If you asked me not to do it in my own home when you aren't around, I would, because that crosses a boundary where doing what you ask is no longer worth sacrificing my own freedom.

In this particular case, the doctors and anthropologists want to research brains. They know that if they ask "may I harvest your relative's brain in order to prove its inferiority to the white race" the answer will be "no". Taking the brain anyway is therefore wrong - but does the utility of this research outweigh the moral issue of non-consent? No, it doesn't. There are some hypothetical scenarios where taking brains without consent would be worth it, maybe during a prion pandemic or something, but this is not one of them.

It's not like you'll never get consent - plenty of people are willing to happily donate their bodies for research, I probably would be if anyone asked.
It's not virtue signaling – it's true regret. I consider my 2 years at FB a mistake. I knew it from the moment I started that I had made an error, and that I needed to do the 2 years and then leave.

I second this. It may sound as a surprise for many, but the reality is that it is very hard to justify to upper management any salary increases for the quiet high-performers, that just get work done without self-promoting and being vocal about it.

The system is based on the perception of "urgency" and "high-priority". If it not urgent to give a good salary raise or promote someone, they will be perceived as happy in the current position and be overlooked, until they leave.
It’s that last bit that’s the kicker. IANAL, but if you blatantly refuse a court order, they can put you in a cage.

If VR manages to achieve critical mass, it will become the new social media.

People use social media (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc) to connect with others, and VR offers a whole new level of connection. I think that is why Meta (Facebook) is investing so much into the metaverse. (Some argue they are making the wrong type of investments[0], though...)

A few years ago I participated in a "VR Challenge,"[1] and that was my big takeaway. Dylan Watkins made some compelling arguments. (Take it with a grain of salt, since he sells VR training.)

I think VR could become a new platform in the same way PC's were usurped by the web was usurped by mobile apps.

Many mobile apps/web sites/programs will be ported to VR when it hits critical mass. There will be some truly transformational ports that exercise the full power of VR, while others will just be a webview in VR. The other platforms will continue to exist, just the way PC's and web sites still exist in the age of mobile apps. (And we'll find out some apps just aren't suited for VR.)

Mostly same, yeah.

I was on Win95 on laptops in the 90s, and that was a complete dumpster fire. Sleep never worked, long boot times, etc. But at the time, I was mostly producing documents and presentations, and Office was file-format-consistent across both platforms. I saw how a colleague's Powerbook worked, and bought my own. It was a HUGE improvement even though it was pre-OSX.

Then the firm tanked, and I went back to coding (LAMP stuff) at about the same time OSX was released. I upgraded and never looked back.

No, it’s not. The surplus created by cheap water is captured by the hedge funds buying up artificially cheap water rights then selling foods at market rates for a large profit. Growing alfalfa in California for cows in China or Saudi Arabia does not impact the price of California beef in a measurable way.
Let's deal with the environmental impact argument first. We can estimate the cost of damage to the environment from what activities societies allow, and the value those activities produce. The largest use is agriculture. Societies allow elimination of natural ecosystems and their replacement by crop monocultures. What value is obtained? Typically, the value of crops delivered from a tract of land is two orders of magnitude less than the value that could be obtained by putting PV there.

So, if we stipulate your environmental argument rules out renewables, it also (to a much stronger degree) rules out agriculture. This is obviously absurd, so your argument cannot succeed.

As for recent "goings on"... I do follow them rather closely. You are likely misled by a common cognitive failing. That is: if we have a set of steps needed to reach some goal, then if one of these N steps is achieved, it's natural to think that we're 1/Nth of the way there. But this is only true if the steps are equally difficult. This cognitive blind spot is exploited in those collectable coupon games you sometimes see at grocery stores or fast food outlets. The # of winners is controlled by the number of a particular rare coupon; all the others are just noise.

For fusion, the immediate steps have been plasma confinement, stronger magnets, and so on. But none of these matter if there's a later showstopper. And for DT fusion, there is. That showstopper is the inability of DT fusion reactors to achieve adequately high volumetric power density. None of the recent DT reactors are promising in that respect, and there's good reason to think this obstacle is generic. Lawrence Lidsky (and Pfirsch and Schmitter in Germany) in the 1980s pointed this out. The implication of poor volumetric power density is that DT fusion will be more expensive than fission -- and fission itself cannot compete with renewables.

(I view current work on DT fusion as "making good progress toward a dead end.")

(If Pfirsch's name is familiar, it's because he, with Schlüter, discovered Pfirsch-Schlüter currents, which are important in stellarators.)

The only effort I see that has any chance is Helion's, which does not use DT, because they can evade this showstopper (by not producing their output as heat, allowing them to potentially save on the cost of the non-nuclear part of the plant.)

I've been wondering why Mark Cuban's drug company - which takes a cost plus model, doesn't make insulin. It seems like a market that is likely growing, effectively has no substitutes, and you need it to live. Is it hard to manufacture?

>If you do what you're saying you'll have adult bodies with child faces.

The body will be similar to petite people or similar to lolicon content traslated into "real life", it's not a far guess by the model.

The model do the same thing as with finetuning with my face, it understand that my images are the images of an adult male face and the knowledge will be added to the higher understanding of adult male and this include nudity, when you finetune on children it understand it's a human and it will added to the higher understanding of humans (And that includes nudity in various forms).

Maybe the model wouldn't be perfect with children, but it can't be with my nudes either, maybe I don't have nipples and the model doesn't know it; but the guesses that the model does are usually good enough to be considered realistic or plausible.
These terms are so cringeworthy and not really explanatory. E.g. “quiet quitting” means doing your job as outline in your contract. If anything it’s just compliance.
