which begs the question - what if you need the company's services, and they have no competitors (within reach of you at least)?

The fact of the matter is, the company has a higher bargaining position than the customer.
Sure, but that's the authors argument
It's very simple for me. The three devices are rather specialized. The phone always comes with me, so that's a given. The tablet is primarily for content consumption (why use my tiny phone screen for this when my nice 10-inch tablet works perfectly?) and the laptop, well, let's me get work done. Each has a fairly specialized function and each performs that function exceedingly well. Forcing one of the devices to perform a function that another device was designed for just gets frustrating.
I too was hoping for a “dig deep” piece that would eventually land on some of the capitalist government theories that drive a lot of this from a lawmaking perspective. It’s so disappointing how shallow reporting has gotten.
Probably induces small amounts of tissue damage that stimulates repair pathways, yeah
At least that vector brings the scam in to the human understandable space. While silently installed malware stealing your session tokens in the background is completely transparent and beyond the comprehension of most people. "Call bank security and transfer your money to us" is at least detectable by the common person.
Another interesting point - US citizens can not be denied entry to the US.

(In fact, no citizen of any country can be denied entry to their country of citizenship).

Of course they can admit a citizen then immediately arrest that citizen, but they can't deny entry.
I think it was already the case that a number of social media sites were cycling from the "Offer free bait" phase to the "Harvest the walled garden" phase.

Twitter barely works on Tor. Reddit barely works if you're logged out. Reddit is pushing their app really hard and obviously going to drop old.reddit one day when their internal API finally breaks it off.

If you make revenue from advertisements, having a web page that can be interpreted by any machine besides your own code is wasting money on freeloaders. Be they 3rd-party clients, Tor lurkers, or scrapers for search engines and AI.
I might give it a try, what do you especially like about this mod compared to others?
This also makes no sense, $10 is not some magic importance threshold
No problem, whatever wording you feel fits is fine with me. I mostly wanted to know if there were any gaps in my app that I could address. I am interested in having a feature rich and customizable OS, so I'd like to improve wherever possible.
This is why I build my personal projects in PHP even though I'm not really a fan. I use PHP and JQuery. It'll work basically forever and I can come back to it in 15 years and it'll still work.
Do the closest living wild relatives of domestic cats (or other cats) share the mutation which causes cats to prefer tuna and fish?
Lung inflammation is a terrible thing and not to be dismissed. My Dad had scarring of his lung tissue cause unknown it's called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Some thing or inflammation damaged his lungs I don't think and I hope it wasn't genetic but there familial part to it.

I could tell by the sound of his breathing ten years before he was officially diagnosed that something was wrong I thought his heart due to family history but hindsight is 20/20. I'm the same age now as when he first started sounding bad when he was breathing. His father my grandfather died of emphysema not sure if related since my grandfather was a smoker.

My Dad's doctor said cancer would be easier to treat. Dad made it another ten years past a diagnosis of three years he was given to live but he lived in dread all that time. What really got him in the end was anxiety not so much the disease.
I believe that the concept is called Hormesis.

Should have you covered.

I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.
I have CGP/ITAR clearance, I can confirm this. Each individual needs to go through clearance process, and fines for transfer of ITAR material to people that don't have ITAR clearance are significant, like a milion dollars, and a year in prison PER A DOCUMENT. For a company is much more, of course.

For ITAR assessment, they are going through your employment, and financial history, criminal check in any country in which you lived in the last three years, bank accounts, and this assessment is repeated every three or four years.

For a job interview, as I didn't have clearance, I had to be escorted, and my phone's camera was covered with tape. And all this in a company that is building landing gears for mostly commercial aircaft, with a few military programs. So, nothing top secret, or high tech to be honest.

So, the idea that an asylant or refugee can work in SpaceX, with often unverifiable criminal history is insane.
They set a minimum of 4 weeks, obviously countries are free to set a higher minimum if they desire.
Working as a consultant means I literally have no days off. I also don't like to carry customer laptops with me when hiking somewhere in Patagonia. So my ultra light travel workstation became my Samsung Galaxy S22 phone paired with an Anker USBC hub with HDMI and a Planck by Drop (and a few cables). All I need is a TV which I usually find anywhere I go. With Samsung DEX I have a full desktop experience with functioning keyboard and the phone itself becomes my mouse. From there I can VPN and launch a RDP session to access a development environment. Outlook and Teams work natively in DEX.

>When interpreting electrons as quantum waves the term "empty" is largely meaningless.

wouldn't it still be pretty meaningfully rephrased as 'stochastic density[0]' or similar?

I would presume that a nucleus, as a superposition if its respective waves, has a far higher stochastic density than the rest of an atom. Or rephrased, an atom is mostly [near] empty space.

[0] of energy, or mass
These comments ITT are great for understanding. I wish someone would update the Wikipedia article with a good explanation based on the comments ITT, so that future readers of the Wikipedia article could benefit from this information
I wonder if the severity rating was set by someone using chatgpt.

This seems like exactly the sort of mistake it would make, but that a human with even a little domain knowledge would not make.
It turns out that Schroedinger's equation predicts the results of the gold-foil experiment, too, and is better in some ways than the old "solar system" model of the atom.
It’s a bit of denominational lore. The minutes are published every year in a book of annual proceedings.

FWIW I regret my time sitting in chairs way more than my time sitting in couches :(.
I don't think this really answers the question either. The US has plenty of mandates on employers for things that seem "normal" here, like a minimum wage or maximum working hours or a safe working environment. In many other countries, mandatory PTO is on the same level as these things - for example, PTO is in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights: https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/31-fair-and-just....

I think we all agree that paid leave is not considered a fundamental right by the majority of Americans, but why not? I feel confident in saying that if paid leave were considered fundamental, the US would make it mandatory. Aversion to legal mandates is not the barrier here.
Most people aren't going to be happy with "the scan shows something unusual that would normally be concerning, but you say you feel fine so I'll trust you instead of the scan".
It's pretty reliable except when the power goes out at home or something like that. I use Tailscale to get around the NAT on the router.

My big computer is behind an ADSL connection where the uplink is pretty slow. If I am changing windows it can take a few seconds for the window to update but once the window is up it is reasonably responsive to type into PyCharm. If I spun up a machine in us-east-2 and used it over a gigabit connection it would be very fast.

Recently my 2013 Mac Mini crapped out and the keyboard fascia of my Alienware laptop delaminated so I swapped in the Alienware for the Mac Mini so I don't really have a laptop I want to travel with. I am not sure what I will get to replace it and when; I've got some desire for a laptop for "hacking" such as connecting to a WiFi CAN bus dongle in my car or to go to an electronics club and program my Arduino. I haven't really decided what it's going to be yet.
Yes, and that's precisely my hypothesis :)
Add Australia to that list
Easier to parallelize and without all the side effects, which only occur when trying to directly observe them.
Uranium mining is not necessarily more destructive to environment or energy intensive than any other mining.

And in fact, a major part of uranium is in-situ leaching, which is less enviromentally damaging than most other mining.

The CCP leadership doesn't care what you think. Xi seems fairly healthy. He could be in power for decades to come. We need to plan around the expectation of a new Cold War with China and declining foreign trade.
TypeScript is a perfect example.

It can compile with typechecking, or, due to the design of the language, without any consideration of types at all.

This later mode is extremely fast, particularly with per file incrementality.

(Unfortunately for reasons I cannot fathom, this is not part of tsc CLI. You have to use something like Babel that uses the TS compiler API.)
I suppose it's a fair way to look at it, too! It's good when we can reach a shared understanding of what's happening; so often, the dynamics of message boards work against that.

I was gonna say "nafta"—hard to keep labor cheap if people are just gonna move north. The arbitrary cruelty is just another tool in the toolbox.
There’s lots of data here:

Oddly a bunch of counties are missing from the results, despite USGS appearing to have some data.
Computation isnt a human concept, it's as natural as mathematics. It's something to be discovered, it can only work in certain ways as defined by nature.
I thought this was true of all mammals, but apparently it’s gill slits that mammal embryos have. I guess the difference is functional vs non-functional . . .

This seems like splitting hairs—it's not called denying entry, it's called revoking citizenship.

We wouldn't know which products to buy! We would all be standing there at the entrance of the supermarket, hungry but not knowing what to buy. We would wait for that old lady then follow her around talking amongst our own (on our phone ofc), what is she doing? What would she be up to with that? Chat GPT would have to baby us though the apple pie from scratch as the only one who remembers all those marvels of SEO recipe websites from back in the days.
I live in an area of rural Australia that is prone to bushfire. They shut off our power whenever the fire risk gets high.

We don't lose critical infrastructure (water, communications, etc.) because backup generators exist. It would be unheard of to not have backup generators for critical services like these, even barring wildfire risk. Random power outages happen; sometimes a tree falls or sometimes a truck hits a utility pole.

This is not to absolve Maui's government of responsibility. It is clear than a LOT of severe and unforgivable mistakes were made that day. But the power company really should have shut the power off.
You really think that China is going to dominate India? Come on.
Is it empty except for a few bits, or is every bit of space "mostly empty"?
There's a nuanced difference between this new wave of AI scraping and the old "copying a site" scraping, and it's not a copyright issue.

The original problem with copyright was that the website owner's content could be duplicated elsewhere, and thus, violate copyright (as well as suck away the web traffic and presumably lowering revenue).

The new AI issue is not that the content is duplicated elsewhere, but that the knowledge contained in the content is "learnt", and used to produce a different work (totally copyright free - in the truest sense, as it is original). An example would be a recipe website. The site owner could've painstakingly collected recipes from the literature, and cataloged, labelled it, etc, making searching and such easy. But the recipes themselves are not copyrightable, only the expression of the recipe.

So given this info, the AI scrapper now has a large labelled dataset for which to learn from, and to generate new recipes. These new recipes do not violate _any_ existing copyright, as they are entirely original in expression.

I say, as an AI advocate, that the old business model of recipe hosting is destroyed by this new AI, and legislating it to remain by legal means is just fighting against the tide. After all, the world doesn't have a unified jurisdiction, and the internet is world wide, so any would-be violators could just as easily move to a different country to operate.

Your speculation is pretty accurate afaik. Mark commented that releasing open source models is what is needed to retain the best so it is what they will do (paraphrasing) on his interview with Lex Friedman.
Not to be mistaken with modern computing, digital computing, or Von Neumann computing; computation is simply having states which change in a dependant way.

It's not even required that the dependencies be linear in time or discrete, except in the narrow case of Turing-computability.

Thank you for a good idea :) I applied it.
I like Rust. It adapts a lot of nice features that C++ is lacking.

However it doesn’t solve any problems I have at work. I routinely deploy very large C++ applications to large international companies around the world.

And I haven’t had a memory or multi-threading problem causing any production issues for as long as I remember. I routinely use Valgrind and Helgrind to make sure it stays that way.

However I do have 9000+ auto tests that push the code way beyond any possible real life customer use cases. Enabling me to make major changes and optimizations to the code and drop it into production with confidence. I haven’t had a production bug for 5+ years.

Switching to Rust won’t change that. I would still need those 9000+ tests to make sure my Rust deployment would be error free.

So my point is this: No programming language will magically make your code bug free or eradicate the need for you to use sound software engineering practices like comprehensive auto tests.

There are of course languages more powerful than Rust that will allow you to write proven correct bug free code (Agda/Idris/Coq/..) However those languages won’t prove that your code has the performance and latency needed in a real world environment for example.

So I would rather spend more time polishing and improving my auto test skills rather than investing in switching languages. My ROI will be way higher.

If reading this makes you angry and eager to defend the honour of Rust and discredit what I am saying, please understand that I have nothing against Rust. This is more a summary of my current thinking on Rust and any other new programming language wanting to take over from C++.

I would love to hear the thoughts of other experienced C++ developers who are responsible for very large C++ applications used by real customers.
I rarely lost any object in my life. The state of being lost is not easy to reach because it means the object cannot be found anywhere you went; I sometimes have to search for an object that I think I lost in my own home, most of the time when the object cannot be found it is the case that someone else is involved : the persons you share your house with would then, after a phone call, tell you they took your keys this morning by inadvertence or whatever.

Most of the time when the object cannot be found it begins to sound like if the rules of reality did change and I am really amazed by the fact that I'm inclined to retry things that were unsuccessful in the finding of the object, like opening a drawer for the third time, or searching the same pocket of my bag, just to check I didn't miss anything. I sometimes tell to myself, out loud, "That's impossible, I searched everywhere !". And that's right, that's totally impossible.

I'm a believer that lost generally equals stolen (or taken away by mistake, or hidden in a really weird place like when people put their home keys under a stone in their garden so that they have a way to enter in case they lose another set of key).

From my own humble experience (not trying to prove anything), the only times where the object wasn't taken away by mistake, were the time the object in question was in such an obvious place that I didn't find it. For example, I'm pretty sure it happened to you at least once to search for or to see someone searching for a hat/cap that they/you were already wearing on their/your head.

One other possibility would be to destruct the object, or to throw it somewhere, letting the randomness of diverse events act toward the disappearance of it. This is when you truly lost something. Truly lost means that you cannot find it anymore, due to the fact it's buried deep in the ocean or it has fallen into a volcano.

In every other meaning of the word, the reasons the object cannot be found is due to a the actions of a peer or is due to inattention.

It seems weird to think one could possibly bring such a precious object in a place where it would be truly lost.
I believe the object is already found or will be found by someone: stolen, consciously or not.
Not really. Everything in the human brain is actually an abstraction. The image or your 'vision' of what's 'out' there is just a computation done by the human brain. It's a 'holographic' 3-dimensional projection which only gives you enough information to survive evolved through many years of evolution. If you want to play that game, we shouldn't be having this discussion at all but we are having a discussion so it's not really coincidental. There is no mountain it's information all the way up and down.
So nobody can do anything nice unless they first do something nice in the place you're the most interested in?
I think this can be said of any engineering design or even designing policy: design is essentially producing hypothesis that a design is the ‘best’ solution of problem where ‘best’ is defined by some method to predict the outcome of the design.
Yes! That dev log would read perfectly.

And it would be a popular download on the BBS and early internet gateways.
A->B, given A is False, simplifies to:

False->A

Since in this implication, we are starting from a false assumption, we have already left the guardrails of consistency. So we can say whatever we want.

False -> A

False -> not A, as well!

The simplest way to look at it is, having a false assumption is the same thing as saying:

Assume contradictions, then …

Or,

Assume (False = True), then …

Given a false assumption, anything can be implied.

Because if False equals True, then whether A is True or False, it is also the other.

—-

To take the antipode of feoren’s prosaic warnings against colorful context, let’s pile on context like it’s cake!

If we start in a false world, if the physics we live in are already a contradiction, then anything can happen!

Several impossible things before breakfast! Alice and wonderland!

You can have your cake (C) and eat it (not C) too!
This assumes a zero-sum economy, which is not how the healthcare economy works at a national scale.

Hypothetically, competing insurance companies would push prices down. In practice, the market isn't a fair market (even before you get into issues like "People need medicine to live, so a market is a bad tool to parcel out medicine because price the patient is willing to pay is unbounded"), so insurance companies tend to add cost through paperwork, managerial overhead, accounting overhead, and cases becoming more expensive to treat as delays in preventative and early-intervention care cause issues to become chronic and urgent-care issues.

When the payer is the government, the government can say "The price of insulin is 2% above cost of materials" ... and it is. And when the money is flowing from taxes to government to healthcare, instead of employees to employers to insurance to healthcare, a company isn't asking itself "Can we afford to take on more employees right now if it's going to cause our healthcare insurance costs and employment taxes to go up," because the decision of how many people to employ is decoupled from the question of how much in taxes the company will pay.
What a good thing to do for one's community.
Pretty incidental comment, but just had to bite-

"At least - thanks to the EU - soon they can all share the same USB-C charger."

The EU is basically the guy that at 5am declares that the sun must soon rise or else. By the time the EU decided on their USB-C dictum, Apple -- a co-inventor and standards participant of USB-C -- had switched their laptops fully to USB-C, their desktops to USB-C, and half their pad line to USB-C, with the rest coming not long after. Most people fully expected the 14 to be USB-C just because it was starting to be silly, and by the 15 it would be ridiculous if they still had lightning.

Apple was already switching. Which is exactly why the EU could go ahead and faced little resistance. The EU deserves zero credit.

And FWIW, the EU in 2010 dictated that all smartphones use micro-USB. Apple provided an adapter as they moved their entire line to lightning, thankfully, as micro-USB was a garbage connector in every way.
I’ve also had good results from reporting CAN-SPAM violations, or just threatening to. When I get marketing emails without a working unsubscribe link I send a message to customer support saying that I’ll report each subsequent email I get as a violation. In one case the violator didn’t offer email or chat based support so I just reported each email, and they quickly taped off before stopping entirely.
Unfortunately people would never read in the news that a potential or active terrorist courier was deterred from transferring sensitive information to local cell by this policy.

Joke aside, efficiency of this policy would be very hard to prove, that would be akin to attempting to prove efficiency of a fire department, or teaching curriculum.

Also don't get me wrong, I would really hate to be at the receiving end of this policy that has "abuse of power" written all over it. And like to know where would the search impede onto the privacy to the individual, and protect our dignity as human.
