Former academic librarian and archivist here. It's true that university libraries are changing their shape, as you say. More study space, fewer physical collections and book purchases (and, in some areas, universities moving toward sharing their physical collections in remote offsite storage and only calling back materials when requested), and much more investment in electronic resources like journal and database access.

It's a complicated issue, but in general library budgets have been consistently shrinking for years/decades, even as the subscription costs for journal access from big for-profit like Elsevier skyrockets. It's even gotten to the point where universities with endowments larger than many nations' GDPs are struggling to afford publisher prices (see https://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/apr/24/harvard-univ...).

Decreasing library budgets plays into this, but at its heart I think that there's a crisis of purpose as well. By not investing in open access publishing infrastructure themselves and not modifying the incentives for faculty review and tenure, universities have put themselves at the mercy of these for-profit publishers and are suffering for it. It's hard to blame faculty who are vying for one of the ever-diminishing tenured spots for publishing their articles in the best journals they can, regardless of whether they'll be behind a paywall, especially when the bar for tenure keeps getting higher and higher.

So we find ourselves in a situation where universities and public funding agencies are paying academics to conduct research and do peer review, then faculty are giving the results to a for-profit publisher, who then sells access to the work right back to them at an astronomical fee.

I'm hopeful if not optimistic that at some point, universities might choose to break out of the cat-and-mouse game they're in by investing in open access publishing and incentivizing their faculty to use it rather than continuing to feed for-profit publishers' wild profits. I've seen some (too limited) action on the first part of that but pretty much none on incentivization part. Certain funding agencies are starting to require open access publication as a condition of some grants, but the change has been slow.
The output of LLMs is ... rarely well-designed. Well-documented (with often incorrect documentation), well-formatted for sure, but profoundly not well-designed, unless you're asking for something so small that the design is trivial.

Even with GPT-4, if you ask it for anything interesting, it often produces code that not only won't work, but that couldn't possibly work without a major rewrite.

Not sure what you've been requesting if it's always been good output. Even when asking GPT-4 for docs I've had it hallucinate imaginary APIs and parameters more often than not.

Maybe the questions I ask are not as common? Given my experiences, though, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for fear it gave them profoundly bad advice.

Some identify Tao (道) with Ṛta (ऋत) and with Logos (λόγος). And perhaps most interesting is the first chapter of the Gospel of John, which identifies Christ with the Logos (Incarnate) (though one can be forgiven for missing this because translations into most languages result in seemingly inscrutable constructions like "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."; "Word" is horribly anemic in comparison to "Logos"). Given this equivalence, this could result in interesting dialogue between, say, Catholics, Hindus, and Taoists. (The pagan Greeks were already in dialogue with early Christians, of course, hence the use of the extremely Greek word in question in the New Testament.)

I think it means local as in "nearby" - so if you're in the UK it isn't processed in us-east-1, for example. You can pick one local to you.
You can order one through a link on that site, can it be only $23? That's what pcbway.com says. I need a more turnkey approach, someone tell me what to do to get a working board I can just plug in an use. If you ask for "assembly" then it was adding almost $100.
Yes, that's standard data which is broadcasted to the passengers via the plane app/website. Usually the apps will have some "show position" feature where you can see position, speed, altitude, ETA, etc.
> What seemed to be missing was a critical and self-aware statement of why his critics may be right or at least his strongest argument.

I imagine for any talk (or any theory) about just about anything (worth giving a talk about) will have critics (and reasonable critical arguments.)

But, generally, I wouldn't think that that in itself is a good reason to (to some extent) censor his talk.

> In response to the hollowness, I did some googling on racial color blindness and I now am very convinced of its connection to white supremacy.

As someone who is maybe older than the typical HNer (maybe) this is cognitively dissonant to me. When I was younger, Progressives were striving for color-blindness (and MLK famously called for such a thing in his most famous speech.)

I'm not sure this is quite relevant here, although I do love the link.

It had 30,000 views on PornHub when it was removed in 2019. We can discuss the fact that policies have changed, but I don't think it's reasonable to say that the methodologies were "bullshit" based on them looking at the videos that were online at the time they conducted their research.

This ignores the widely understood power dynamics between nations especially those nations that are in such serious conflicts as the ones mentioned. Honestly your response here feels like I'm talking to the Men in Black and you want me to just wipe my understanding of the real world.

> (« teen », la catégorie pédopornographique étant une des plus populaires

I took this to mean that the subcategories where the actors pretended to be under 18 were the most popular.

> If you think you are able to find actual illegal stuff

Where did illegal come from here? The law isn't my moral barometer and I didn't bring it up. The fact that these depictions are so popular and normalised is already notable enough for me to want to discuss it with my peers. I don't know if it needs to be banned and I'm not suggesting that any of what is up there is currently illegal, but I believe that this study shows us some very real truths about ourselves and our consumption.

But if that's where you want to go, I would note that this is a report coming from a French governmental department. It is my understanding laws in France mean that actresses cannot consent to be harmed in the way that is common is the videos they studies, and would be illegal to produce within that jurisdiction.

Where I grew up, in the UK, even simulated depictions of underage sex acts are illegal, so much of the teen category would have been a no go there as well.

The laws will of course vary from country to country, but again that's not why I shared this article.

It is also difficult to pronounce. I've come to call it slashyslash, but telling other people about it (which is absolutely paramount to it gaining popularity) is annoying. Me telling a friend about this would go:

Planes dont measure height relative to the ground. How would that even work? Their sensor is air pressure, which is treated as a function of elevation.
Given such a scientifically interesting object so close to us, I can't imagine any other reality than massive world-scale spending to not just "get there first", but first to perform other low-hanging publicity stuns (think first space walk, first moon landing). The fact you _can't_ even land there is a massive accessibility boost. The thought is so exciting. The understanding of physics would be destined to leapfrog, distinctively changing humanity, and nature.

Can anyone imagine something concrete?

As the other said, it really depends on the college. The one near me is more technical oriented and has a number of programs basically designed to train people for employment at local factories.

I can see how that's a reasonable preference. Though I fall in @OjFord's camp. I have a mouse scroll wheel and I'm not afraid to use it. But... I have to remember to hit return a few times beforehand because it's sometimes hard to find the top of help when you're scrolling up in the terminal.

And if your brain is wired for vi, then that makes complete sense.

But... the cool thing about using the scrollwheel to scroll up to see the --help output is it's always there. If you pipe it into less, it disappears as soon as you exit less. So if you're writing a big, beefy command with lots of unfamiliar options, you can start typing down at the prompt and then scroll up to read the help output. It's annoying when you type that you immediately scroll back down to the bottom of the terminal buffer, and I think all terminal emulators default to doing this, but maybe it's a configurable behaviour.

This also works with `man <command> | cat`.

Also... how many times have I had to type out `git branch -a | cat` and tried to remember to put the `| cat` in it. I HATE that the stock git cli automagically pipes to /usr/bin/pager. If I wanted to pipe the output to /usr/bin/pager, I would type `command | /usr/bin/pager`. But now I'm just kvetching.
Profit centers directly produce profit. Cost centers may indirectly produce profit but the administration has a fundamentally different view of the assets. To wit: the leadership of a profit center could molest children and the administration would not notice (this is literally the source of countless headlines), while the leadership of a cost center could get staffing slashed if they use too many post-it notes (this is the source of no headlines ever).

To be fair, that incident is extremely isolated. This team repairs on the order of 100 airplanes a year. They had one major failure in the past 50 years? I am certainly not excusing that nor the loss of lives, however I can not think of any other team working on non-trivial problems, where each problem is unique, that has a lower failure rate.

> How safe and cozy can a cat feel sitting right out in the open on top of the water bill? Dodman describes it as something like the placebo effect. “This virtual box may provide some misplaced sense of security and psychosomatic comfort,” he writes.

Maybe I was a cat in a past life (or on the autism spectrum in this one), but I get it.

Urban environments make me very uncomfortable. It's even worse when I commute to them by train or taxi. Once I'm there, it's very overstimulating, and there is no space within them that I can call my own. I can't take a nap anywhere, I can't sit anywhere unbothered, there's just no place I can retreat to and say "this is my personal space; leave me alone or die." The problem is mitigated when I drive into the city, since my car serves that purpose. It's my space, others respect that, and the law would generally support my reaction to anyone that violates it. Meanwhile I'm just expected to deal with it when someone reclaims "my" seat at the library.

I have a pet theory (no pun intended) that the homeless suffer the same plight, which compounds existing mental illness. There's zero stability for them. Noplace is theirs. Set up a camp somewhere and get chased away, find someone else looting it, or the city destroying it. Shelters and even jail are temporary-- never theirs.

I have a bunch of cats and see them do what I think I do. Sometimes, one gets pushed around a bit too much. They'll fuck off and camp out on some paperwork, inside a stray Amazon box or on top of the fridge (which doubles as a vantage point). Each delineates what is very clearly a personal space for them. Usually they don't get bothered again, but if they do, they do a total 180, become the aggressor and fuck the intruder up-- effectively fighting from a defensive position...which is exactly the comfort I get from having a car in the city (which I know creates problems for everyone; I avoid cities as much as possible).

> It is also an exercise I found in a book for healing trauma : make a circle on the floor with some towels, or a rope, or other objects and sit in it. It actually works and can help calm down the nervous system. It is a "patch" you could say, a substitute for weaker boundaries. When you sit in the circle, you can feel your body and emotions more easily.

The "personal space" theory definitely isn't for everyone-- my wife can't relate to any of it and yet sensory deprivation is what works for her. When she's overwhelmed, muting one or more senses (blindfold, noise-cancelling headphones, etc.) is what brings her back down. Maybe it's a male/female thing-- rather than reshaping her environment like I do, she reshapes her own perception of it.

> Someone with no significant trauma and relatively good boundaries (physical, emotional) may not notice any difference.

Definitely!
Yeah, I think so too, but I guess I'm more upset that they use "local" in a "remote but physically nearby" fashion when it usually refers to "this computer/device".

A few years ago I was on a Southwest flight and had OpenVPN running because I forgot to turn it off. I was able to access the Internet through my tunnel without paying for access.

I have some Watershed drybags that I really love that I want to figure out the best way to use as bicycle panniers, does anyone have suggestions?

This is the model:

The backpack straps are removable and the bag rolls down quite a bit like most rolltops do. I think the loops where the waist strap is fed through may be a good attachment point but part of me thinks I'd need almost need side baskets or netting or a harness on either side of the rear rack that could just accept a a large bag without the bag itself having any great attachment points.

I keep hearing this, and I've started looking on AliExpress, and the prices are only a little bit cheaper, but the shipping takes forever.

Like I recently was looking into desk globes, and the first one that popped up in search is $16 on AliExpress with 4-week shipping, or $20 on Amazon with 1-day shipping:

And this seems pretty representative. I've never found a single case where it was worth it to buy with AliExpress. Especially since I know I can return anything on Amazon pretty effortlessly, whereas with AliExpress I have no idea.

But sea salt hasn't gone up 3X in price. You have to look at actual market rates, not the arbitrary price being charged by one single store that's raising prices because they can (and which they'll do for any product). Searching right now, I'm seeing around $0.60/lb for bulk sea salt, e.g.: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/regal-salt-sea-fine-25/1020... And note that it might be cheaper still from a local supplier if you go pick it up in person.

Or, to put it a different way, the responsibility is on you as a consumer to actually get the best price on whatever you're shopping for. Some retailers can raise the price arbitrarily high, but you don't need to fall for it.
