In the US at least, the imperative should be to create policy and systems that don't make healthcare completely unavailable for millions of people in the first place. AI and robots don't mean anything without access.

There are a few different ways of implementing this, but a rough outline of one possible approach is the following:

Create two renderers -- the real-time one and a super-high quality offline one. The offline render always renders at 8K resolution with full ray tracing, all possible effects, etc... basically like how movie special effects are made: minutes of computation time per frame.

The real-time render doesn't try too hard to output the full-quality result, and it might not even output anything at all that visually matches the desired output.

Instead, the real-time render outputs a lot of metadata for the AI to consume. So it might output a depth map, a motion vector map, a surface normal map, an un-shaded but textured rendered scene, and a material ID map.

The AI then takes those various inputs and produces the final shaded scene with all sorts of complex "special effects" applied such as realistic skin, hair, or whatever. To train it, the inputs are the offline-rendered 8K scene and the real-time rendered metadata. This is an ideal scenario for AI training, because the "labeling" is always pixel-perfect ground-truth data. (Compare this with, say, LIDAR depth maps or motion vectors from video, which are always full of large errors.)

The material ID is typically an integer, sort of like a "token id" in an LLM. In a similar way, it can be expanded into a learned "embedding" by the AI, which can then combine the embedding with the metadata to produce a very high quality output. So rare materials like skin become learned as various "skintone embeddings", modulated by the texture mapping input metadata. Because arbitrary training data can be synthesised at will, it's also easy to train the AI by generating many scenes that occur rarely in the actual game. E.g.: each character can have many points of view generated in various poses, in various lighting conditions, etc...

Simplified variants of this is already used in popular games via NVIDIA's DLSS upscaling and motion-interpolation technology.

... rather making remote jobs more sought after and competitive? If the City is having a hard time filling up its offices id look to see where the c suite a-holes are working. They arent traveling 280 or 101 to get to soma so they can take an elevator up to see an empty office. They are staying somewhere in Tiburon or Woodside asking if the plebes presented.
I wouldnt drive to the City for twice my pay now. They can eat their concrete and iron cake ... and shove the rest up their ass.
I think it comes from Smyrni and the old Greek cities in the coast of Asia Minor, who were for a while a part of Turkey (until the Greeks there were slaughtered like lambs).

Anyway we have lots of Turkish loan words in the Greek language. To the best of my ability to transliterate these examples in latin characters: ati, passoumi, briki (ibrik, I think), kazani, charatsi, tsoglani, bairaki, chatiri, dounias, giouroussi, boulouki, dragoumanos, doulapi, and derti, of course, etc. As you can probably tell, we always tend to add an "-i" at the end.

We also say "halali" and "harami", which we clearly took from the Turkish.

And of course, Tsantirimin Oustoune, and other all time greatest hits:

Calling Windows reliable and saying professionals manage to keep Linux servers running does not help your argument.
Isn't all that p-1, p-2, p-3, ... stuff just like a grid system, that we already had in bootstrap? With modern CSS, I don't think such a rigid system doing size by convention is needed. Make elements resize based on their content and available space. Maybe have a min-width or min-height in some places, but why would one ever go like: "OK this is 3 parts wide, so the rest still has 9 parts left." or similar?
Does AWS include the Prime streaming platform?

It sends a chill down my spine to see that one of the perks of being a Prime member is unlimited photo storage.

It’s sickening to realize there’s a bunch of Gullible Guses and Ginas that are holding off cancelling their Prime subscription because their pictures are held hostage by Amazon.

I bet dollars-to-donuts that half of those folks don’t know how to articulate the sentimental attachment to their Prime subscription either.
I've heard this "if it were happening someone would leak it" argument throughout my life, even though I've lost count of all the counterexamples that disprove this mentality.

Before Snowden PRISM was considered impossible (even though previous people had leaked it but never got picked up by the media cycle), before Epstein it was impossible that billionaires were trafficking children for sex, before 2008 it was impossible that wall street was colluding to rig the market - the consistent thread in all of these is that the "impossible" was happening for several years before it was ever exposed.

I understand the incentive to leak it exists, but that doesn't mean there isn't a stronger incentive to keep it a secret.
If you install games via Flatpak, or via Steam which you've installed via Flatpak, they are indeed isolated in `~/.var/app/*`, IIRC.

But this thread is getting distracted. That's a separate issue, and the applications in question can still pollute all they want within their container.
As evidenced by this thread; convenient revisionism by resentful ideologues, aligning luddites with the flavour-of-the-month outrage...be it working conditions, unionisation, etc.

The connotations of "luddite" are apt because they're accurate, we have evidence of their activities but also documented evidence of their intentions and beliefs.

JavaScript tends to be fine in specific allow-listed circumstances:

* User preference (E.G. plugins/extensions)
* Native to the site, when a user is logged in
* Trivial and sandboxed to page local data

I recall how I used to use Flash, with a plugin that delayed the loading until AFTER I hit 'play' on the plugin frame.

I suspect that's the sort of security framework that will solve a lot of the problems. Do not run untrusted code by default. Have the user to enable a site (often during account creation / sign in on a new device). Have the user 'click play' if they expect something to work.

Make sites that just work without client side code again.
My oldest son has special needs. He's 2e -- gifted and learning disabled -- and has a serious medical condition associated with being very underweight.

I put him in preschool to get him to talk. He could use sentences but wasn't.

At the start of kindergarten, first, second and third grade, I spoke with the teacher, explained he was difficult, let them know I welcomed communication on any issue. They were thrilled and relieved. Parents are often part of the problem.

By fourth grade, my son was no longer obviously "the weird kid." That teacher reported me to the social worker for letting him know up front my child was difficult and please don't hesitate to discuss things with me.

The social worker called me, we talked for a bit. She knew both my kids. Laughed it off as a silly misunderstanding. Months later, his teacher let me know he did eventually get the memo that my child had quirky interpretations of social things.

After my son finally got a proper diagnosis for his medical issue, he gained twenty pounds in one year and this did wonders for his social skills. Then he lost five pounds.

He still felt better than he ever had and neither of us were concerned. His medical team implied I was in danger of being reported to children's services as an abusive mother.

Because his condition predisposes people to being very underweight, pediatric clinics for the condition routinely include a dietitian and yet the standard recommended diet is "junk food" because it's high salt, high fat, high calorie and cheap.

I had not been feeding him junk food, but I dutifully put a big bowl of snacks in the middle of the coffee table. He regained 2.5 pounds, they decided that was adequate and didn't need more follow up visits.

We got home and, with no longer being under threat of being turned in as a neglectful or abusive parent, the first thing he did was hand me the bowl and tell me "We are never doing this again. I feel terrible!"

We resumed feeding him a high quality diet in line with the high fat, high salt, high calorie recommendations.

It's awful to be so protective of your children and be accused of abusing them based on no real evidence. I wish this project well.

I would have guessed that a Kentucky Meat Shower was something else.
The name is meaningless. It’s just marketing; every version is named for another location across California. Before that they were named for big cats.

Each version has a number that is sequential though. I think it’s just an effect of sheer quantity. They release a new version every year. It’s hard to keep track.

I don’t see that happening tbh, since they made Secure Notes for this purpose which (i would assume they believe) offers a better experience than storing not-logins with logins. Secure Notes offer the same level of security as the keychain IIRC.

Meat fat texture == my food antithesis.

Lamb I just cannot. That feeling, so soft and ... something totally foreign - it "shouldn't be in my mouth" feeling. Both times I tried it's just, no thanks. edit The flavor is too strong and not something I like at all either edit

I near projectile vomit fat. I cut off all I see. If it's bacon fat that's totally cooked, maybe. If it's soft, it's coming off.

Once at a wedding I caught a large piece of steak fat, it coming up immediately & I stealthed it into my napkin; like jerry & the mutton.
I hoped no one had noticed but the groom saw. Just bad timing he glanced right at the same time.

I had reserved for a well done steak. It came to me full rare.

I just rolled with it to not fuss - I'd nearly rather not eating. I dissected that steak for fat like a surgeon.

Tuna, salmon I cannot force myself to eat.

yes, moving countries is the same as buying phones.
perhaps you could provide a link instead of being snarky?
Yeah, I guess older ones have tried. They used to let you match but require you to pay to send messages. Didn't work.

I will say as someone who's extensively tested this though, Tinder doesn't seem to put effort into determining the compatibility between you and the recommendations. Their goal is something else, not sinister but not optimal either.
Usually...

It works like airplanes. Some people see Tomcat and know immediately what it refers to. Others prefer the numeric F-14. I still remember NATO codenames from 40 years ago, without the letter/number. Sidewinder, for example.

I have the issue you describe with Ubuntu and (less so) Debian codenames and also with Android codenames. With Ubuntu though, the number is descriptive, like Russian tanks (T-90 etc), so using it is worth more.
There are plenty of Flu Type A, Flu Type B, and COVID-19 combo tests, but they are useless for COVID-19 based on my experience.

My testing facility offers optional RSV testing as well.
You feel in bad faith here. But sure, lets start looking at the points:

Paragraph 1, almost literally: "the early days of the internet were great for competition..." I, uh, don't know what to tell you here. Isn't even really a point.

Paragraph 2: Amazon is big.

Paragraph 3: Amazon is a monopolist.

4: Amazon's fees can be upwards of half the costs of sellers.

This point, finally, could be something. The examples that have been made public, though, are for sellers that are basically drop ship sellers. I'd love to see better evidence here.

5: Amazon also sucks.

I mean, this is kinda the core of my main counter point. Amazon is losing on its own terms. And if it doesn't get its shit together, it will lose soon.

That said, I do think this point muddies my view by discussing the old "relevant, organic searches." All of search has gotten bad. And Amazon's was never good.

6: Amazon sucks, but is getting away with it.

Ok...

7: Amazon doesn't enter agreements where people can undercut them directly in costs... Or something?

Sadly, I've run out of steam rather quickly on this. The claim here seems to be that Amazon enters all of the same agreements that other retailers do. With similarly bad results happening. I'd be delighted to find that general ruleset changed. I fail to see how this is even pretending to move in that direction.

8: We want to be clear it isn't just that Amazon is big. It is the practices they use.

This is the real kicker in all of this. The main practices they keep calling out are not unique to anyone in retail. Please make them illegal, but don't pretend going after Big Tech isn't an optics thing.

Skimming the rest: I'm now officially out of steam. What paragraph do you feel is actually strong? There is some neat analysis of the buy box... but it isn't that neat, all told. Amazon was silly proud of their 1-click nonsense for a long time. And it is probably a safe wager that, sure, most people don't make it to page 2 of searches; but also most searches don't result in a sale.

I'd almost be willing to take the price harm to consumers as a strong point, but Amazon has NEVER been price competitive for basically anything. It has always been cheaper to buy something somewhere else. This hasn't been a secret for anyone for a long time. It just wasn't egregiously more expensive for Amazon, and their pro consumer return policies made for a loyal customer base.

Again, don't take my criticism of FTC here as praise for Amazon. I don't vilify them as much as many do, but I do think they have been doing some hilariously non-forced screwups lately. This is still a pretty shit case.
It does seem like a lot... but I wonder how much it compares in price to a proper matchmaker?
>Why can’t Apple…

Because not all users choose what goes on their phones.

Some users have it chosen for them by abusive family members.

I've never installed the Meta omni-permission store on my Android, but I've certainly installed Facebook's applications via the Play Store.

I'm not sure why the situation would be any different with iOS. It seems to me that the app store would still utterly dominate even if it were exposed to competition.
I find it quite nice, personally. Reinstalling yearly-ish allows me to examine what tools I'm using and see if I could replace/remove any of them.
> But a monopoly on core system functions isn't necessary to keep that high bar high.

That's an extraordinary statement to make, got any matching evidence? Lots of competitors have been trying for over a decade but nothing has emerged thus far.

While I don't believe Apple's current methods and models are the only way that could possibly work, I haven't seen any other successful way either.

It's a bit like PKI and E2EE in that way, lots of noise around it (be it Secure Boot, Signal or Boot Guard or something else) but no true alternative. All we get so far is regurgitated ideas with Clipper chip concepts.
Ok but more serious question: How many PhDs are working on making advertising?
> I would accept were it not for Apple adding 43% to the purchase price of most paid applications, which is much worse for the end user than the average piece of malware.

I think malware on your phone could easily cost you much more than 43% of all your mobile app purchases.
I don't care what language Homebrew uses, it just works. When I got my M1 MacBook in 2021 I saw some of this negativity about Homebrew, and since I was doing a clean install anyway I decided to try out MacPorts. I quickly ran into problems and switched back to Homebrew and it's been smooth sailing.

AI writing code has zilch to do with anything, as no piece of non-trivial business software can currently be written by AI.

None of the new frameworks developed in the past 10 years do anything to improve developer productivity over what people already have with Django, Rails, and Laravel.

We're a fad-driven industry and most people can't tell productive work from their ass.
I think slavery is human nature. White people didn’t invent it. All cultures came up with it through various versions. But then again rape and murder is human nature too.

My point was that slavery is still a real thing even in poor countries. Hence the second link about Africa.
That part they can't do themselves at the same scale as all of the sellers can.

That is what I meant.

CheerpJ 3.0 AMA [video]
The VAST majority of people who have/had covid have no idea they have/had it. For 3 years it seems we were all trying to ignore this one simple fact. People still even joke about, "not knowing how I've avoided COVID this long". We have ALL "had COVID" multiple times. Testing at all is at best security theater but is literally a fools errand. COVID testing has not and will not ever save a single life.

Back in 2020, the US Navy published a study that told us everything we needed to know about covid: They found that over 90% of sailors who tested positive were asymptomatic. With only 1% testing positive in random checks, a mere 10% of those showed ANY symptoms and none had any major complications.

It's clear now that the mass hysteria was baseless. We had the facts, but it seems some people just wanted a reason to freak out for a couple years.

This seems like a discussion that could benefit from a reminder: animal agriculture is highly polluting (16.5% of all emissions) and destructive (the leading cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss).

Lamb and mutton are nearly as environmentally damaging as beef (116m2 vs. 119m2 for beef).

And why lambs and not kittens or puppies? It's the same kind of psychopathic indifference.
> As a precautionary measure, the hospital followed mandatory reporting statutes and my wife and I temporarily lost custody of David. Thanks to our incredibly effective defense lawyer, we were cleared of all charges within two months, during which we stayed at the hospital 24/7 with David until we sorted out the legal procedures.

Holy shit. Parents bring baby to ER ... results reveal that baby was shaken (article later confirms this was not the case) ... parents lose custody for 2 months. Horror story.
