Okay, so going by your definition, I am a loser.
Your first attempt put me in a derogatory way saying, "Stay far away from my companies.... barf"

Then you stick to the idea of calling me a loser from your point of view. I don't know what you are trying to prove but I was just asking a question on a way to genuinely get by in life.

We do not live in the same world. So what rule applies to you doesn't apply to me. Yet still I asked this question because being an average has a statistically better chance (as the law of large numbers holds). I wanted to get a realistic view of average people and what they do.
If you look at other comments of mine, I am not against learning. I am against the definition of learning which is phony. It is one thing to know something, and it is a different thing to learn. I have seen many so-called learned ones struggle with the applications of their knowledge. At that point, how do you know if the person has actually learnt anything?
People can grow beyond their limits. There is multiple dimension in life. And learning doesn't necessarily mean always learning the next hype stuff or yada yada. That is practically useless.

I humbly request you to point out the number of situations in your life where you applied second-order partial differential equations to solve anything that you are doing. (If that rings a bell, that is.) Or heck even used some esoteric algorithms to improve some heuristics. Bet you still use the fundamentals you learned in college and apply them. Did you ever truly learn new things? Are you apt to catch up on all the buzz that is going on in the AI, dissect everything and teach to a high school graduate? Can you learn the graphics and say implement Gaussian splatting on your own system? Or even write your own transpiler to do something? I do not know your background. I do not understand why you are so offended here to think that I am a brainless person who burts or whines without thinking.

There are multiple thoughts and stages of thoughts before admitting something. You make it sound like I never tried. Trust me, I have. I have done more than you. It sucks to be blocked when I can't show any physical result of learning because of limitations from financial stuff. Then if someone would fund, there is a lack of confidence. The guilt that I may expend their resources over nothing.

The only reason I want to be average is because I know I am slightly above average say (51%). It is just easy for me down there to work in an average way. It is more relaxing. I don't have to challenge myself or pull out my hair. Then eventually I hope to find something else in life.

We have a different perspective on life. You think in your own way, to rise above mediocrity. I think of embracing it. I just want to know what are the options so that I can make some life choices.

I regret choosing a hard path in life. It never gave me anything. Now I want to stop pursuing it. Stop spinning in the wheel.

Based on the source data [0] I think the number they're reporting is just the total personal income earned in each state. In California's case, per-capita income actually increased slightly, but the population went down so total income went down. In New York, both population and per-capita income decreased in 2022. Still sort of a weird number to report on though.

I think the modern day western world is obsessed with "maximizing happiness" as the purpose of life and that's a lifestyle choice that people have adopted as religion plays a lesser role in their lives.

I'm not sure we should accept the premise that maximizing subjective happiness is a suitable replacement as if we all just didn't have children and were thus "happier", would the world really work or would there be no future for humanity?

I'm not sure what the purpose of life is and obviously for every person that purpose is probably very different, but I'm skeptical of the idea that maximizing subjective happiness is a good life philosophy and it seems like everyone has adopted it everywhere.
I saw no indication of self-referential exclusion on behalf of the preceding poster. Mayhaps a bit of projection has snuck in?

Regardless, they have a point. Our system is driven by financially motivated, and subsidized action. Most people are just trying to live their lives with minimal interference and are not sampling for sources of psychological manipulation. Self-generated or external-to-self originated. In point of fact, metacognition is not last I researched on it, a universal thing for everyone.

I do not exclude myself from this population of non-samplers either, but as a tester, I am also well acquainted with the fact that testing costs and nature selects to minimize costs. Just as bacteria will abandon costly resistance mechanisms to a stressor given sufficient time removed from a stressor, so too do we in terms of our mental safeguarding behavior.
I could see a plausible argument where that would constituted as rape. A sexual crime against the body, but ultimately sexual violence against the mind.
The article is celebrating this as some huge win but have all these sanctions stopped the war in Ukraine?

I feel like this is the same story any time we try sanctions, i.e. Iran. The sanctions have a negative effect on the target economy, but are completely ineffective at achieving any kind of policy goals.

10-15 years from now you are going to have China (An economic and manufacturing superpower) aligning with Russia (An energy and military superpower). It astounds me that people don't see the idiocy and danger in what we are encouraging; also the chilling effect of letting the world know that we wield economic power as a weapon, driving the BRICS nations further away economically.
> At that, I'd rather have less children that are more affluent.

I can tell you that the affluent upper middle class people I’ve encountered do not seem to be (on average) any happier than middle middle class people. Nicer cars, bigger houses but not happier.
More precisely, the temperature underground is very stable. At 8-12 feet there is little to no variation over the course of a year. So in a cold season it will be warmer underground than ambient (this is why foundations are dug “below the frost line”) while the opposite is true during a warm season.
I confirm this behavior and this is also the reason I vot rid of the board. Nosedives at red light are not fun at all when you are standing next to a road full of traffic.
“Grow” has precedent in flex-grow, which in turn has the inverse flex-shrink. It would probably be even more confusing if the term grow were used here to mean grow and shrink.
I'm a native speaker, and it's far from obvious to me. Whether it is "hostile/divisive" depends upon tone, something which is utterly lacking through this medium.

For what it's worth, when I first read the comment under discussion, I thought it was a humorous jab at the fact that software dev salaries tend to be quite high. That's about it.
No not symbol modifier. Compose.

To get a particular glyph, or control code, you have to compose it out of multiple keypresses.

Some common examples happen to be modified versions of whatever glyph happens to be on a key, but that is just a subset, arranged that way for human sanity, humans would hate it if you had to press shift+g to get A, and really only in the latin languages whose writing even works that way. The glyphs could actually be anything, and outside of the latin languages they are. The poop emoji is not a modified form of any number or letter.

And it's not even just glyphs but any byte or byte sequence you want to produce. A single 0x01 byte is not a glyph, nor a modified form of any glyph, but you can still type it, and it's composed of the CTRL key and the A key.
If you ask, most probably, older people than you they will give the same answer although there are specific time periods that are remembered positively by a big amount of people. Besides if they trascended historically.

The idea of old times were better is a global classic. Specifically to Argentina there are other classic sayings like:

- "In Argentina, everything can change in a day, but nothing changes in a decade"

- "There are four kinds of countries: developed countries, undeveloped countries, Japan, and Argentina." [1]

There are some rules hobbling the private system in Canada that don’t exist in every country with universal healthcare. As I understand it, if a doctor participates in the public system they’re limited in their ability to accept private-pay patients. Happy to take correction here from Canadians who know better.
How to ‘clean’ install modern macOS
I'm not capable of doing a full analysis on this question. I don't mean to say that this ban isn't worth doing, I meant to acknowledge that this has a downside. Let me throw out a few bullet points of those downsides of reducing the rate of new chemical compounds introduced to society.

* We are often creating chemicals that do the job of existing chemicals safer and more efficient. This ban would probably include a grandfather clause for old chemicals, and thus we might be using inferior products and doing more harm than we otherwise could. Look at refrigerants as an example of a chemical compound that has improved over the decades.

* Many chemical compounds introduced in the last 100 years directly improve productivity. The United States is in economic competition with other regions of the world. We could be creating a disadvantage that reduces our geo-political power.

* Many of these chemical compound increase quality of life. There's a strong unitarian argument for sucralose and polyurethane insulation.
Maybe open source licenses need some kind of general "void where prohibited" clause that specifies parts of the license which are non-negotiable and if a jurisdiction won't enforce them then nobody there can use it.

This might also deter governments from passing that category of bad laws because you're going to have a lot of grumpy companies and citizens if a new law tries to void a common version of the BSD license or GPL that makes NO WARRANTIES sina qua non.

I'd say Apple got there with their M1 and M2 chips. But it took 10 years of incrementally improving on an already commercially viable cpu, unlike what tensortorrent is claiming.
In the game "keep talking and nobody explodes" one of the puzzles has you match a limited set of characters in each position to a dictionary of possible words. A task I was having a lot of trouble doing in the limited time provided. I ended up rewriting the dictionary as a prefix tree and including it as a addendum to the manual.

It was neat seeing seeing these algorithms work at human scale and how much better it made the process.

You're not breaking backwards compatibility by introducing a new valid value, which before would have been invalid.

Yeah all fair critism, except that experiment is involved and it does take that long to get rigerous results.

You can actually do this. Takes about ten or so tries over a few weeks for most. I haven't tried to fly like a bird yet. Hopefully I'll get to experience that next.
[Preface: No, I don't know.]

> Why does iOS lie...

Especially with no obvious "...(4) Profit!" reason for Apple to intentionally lie, I'd attribute this to incompetence.

There are a number of ways to measure available storage space, before you even get into "GiB vs. GB" sorts of issues. So if it's not too much of a PITA, freeing up more space seems a pretty plausible "First Kludge" to try.
unrelated to the broader tree discussion, but i find this comment incredibly indicative of the type of forum this is. only with engineers do you have to state your point and enumerate through all edge cases around how your idea can be interpreted even though GP PROBABLY didn't mean go back and live there until the end of his life. But even so, that's a derailment of the entire discussion anyway. You always have a person that needs to point out something inane like that which ends up causing a tangent discussion. On a forum, it's fine, you have threads, you can just ignore it and move on, but a lot of meetings & real conversations end up this way. there has to be a name for this because I want to call it something and then coach people out of it

I need the 1%. I want browser masonry support. Right now only Safari has it baked in properly, the rest I have to code around in a sub-optimal way:

I think Safari has it because the guy that wrote the spec now works at Apple. Not 100% sure of that, but seems that way.

A lot of the public believes that what you're talking about already happens, for what it's worth. "Industry plants."

Something can be extremely catchy yet widely panned as low quality in music, so even within "just the music" there are several dimensions at play regardless of marketing, etc. Such as whether it's timed right - are there enough people ready for that song at that time?

The idea that "most people will just listen and be fans of whatever the big media companies put out there" doesn't stand up much examination or conversation with "most people."

People do often make breakthroughs on soundcloud, TikTok, whatever - do you think having the invisible support of a Max Martin would lower their chances? You'd need to do your experiment a hundred times or thousand times or so before you could really compare the success rate of your plants to the rest of the crowd, but it's hard for me to believe that they wouldn't have an advantage. The music industry isn't known for their charity, if they could get away with not paying those people without another label beating them in the market, why would they?

in the wild West it was acceptable to end a quarrel with a duel to the death, you still can but the survivor will probably get 20 to life in prison for murder, i mean I guess they could claim self defense but that's iffy since they put themselves in harms way...

The last duel was like early 1900s maybe end of the wild West era...
A few years ago, I used to see a middle-aged guy riding one of these every single day from his office to his apartment in Downtown LA. Then I suddenly stopped seeing him.

According to a street vendor who saw the accident, the guy's Onewheel froze up on him riding down Grand Ave from Bunker Hill, he went flying, and he suffered severe brain damage. He's been in a coma since then, and his family's lawsuit against the manufacturer is still working its way through the courts.
> There are guides on the darknet that teach you how to fine-tune on CSAM and model weights can be found quite easily

I can find no proof of this in the articles you linked.

> You can't do that without fine-tuning on actual images of children.

You definitely can. That's like saying "you can't generate images of a dog with wings without fine-tuning on actual images of dogs with wings".

Any AI image generation algorithm generates realistic, life-like images. I'm not going to prove my point by generating this shit, there's not a doubt in my mind that you can generate these images without any fine-tuning.

One of us misunderstands what “conservative” means here. I was under the impression that it meant the government shouldn’t meddle in private affairs if it doesn’t have to.

How do you avoid using inputs and textareas?
American analysts and diplomats have been saying for decades (both in public and in confidential cables) that Russia viewed Ukrainian NATO membership as the reddest of all red lines.

Russia's original plan was to take Kiev in 3 days and install a pliant government that would rule out NATO membership. Russia probably would also have annexed Donetsk and Luhansk (which were already under the control of pro-Russian rebels, backed by Russia), or at least have forced the Ukrainian government to grant them autonomy.

However, after the initial plan of a quick war failed, Putin had to show something for the war, and annexed the occupied territories (beyond Donetsk and Luhansk).

There's no real doubt that possible Ukrainian NATO membership (and short of that, its ever closer de facto integration with NATO) were primary motivating factors for the Russian decision to invade.
That's what I do now. I'll start typing and then realize "you know, I should just dictate this" and it's way easier. It's still far from perfect, and the interface to fix mistakes isn't great. But compared to typing it all out, it's still way faster.
I don't have the source, it was a few years ago, but there is a positive correlation between particulates and precipitation; however it can take several days for the effect to reach maximum "signal" and due to the movement of air masses the actual precipitation can happen some distance (possibly thousands of miles) from the source of particulates: if it rains (or doesn't rain) on the weekend for you, that might have some correlation to location of the source of particulates in your area.

A related effect would seem to be low sulfur fuel reducing ocean cloud cover (compared to previous fuel). I just saw an interactive map of a study using aircraft cruising altitude to impact cloud formation a few days ago.
Because it’s not 2002? As you say, music production capable workstations didn’t really exist. To count out extremely capable incumbents in favour of reporting the opinions of bandlab who bought Cakewalk in a fire sale and haven’t really had much of a dent from what I can tell seems strange.

Its not the same thing. min-content/max-content/fit-content etc for these form control elements are some magical value (for textareas "1lh * attr(rows)") for example. (This works cross browser!)

min-content/etc get invoke in more places than you'd expect. For example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input style="width: 100%">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input style="width: 100%">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Here when initially sizing the table the "width:100%" will actually be "width:min-content". (We can't change how this works, it'll break sites, and I'm oversimplifying slightly).

This property is basically a switch to say "don't use the magical values for the intrinsic sizes size based on your content instead".

With the new form-sizing property (or whatever it gets named) all the inputs in that table will be sized to the maximum input.

I understand its frustrating but changing a 20+ year platform isn't an easy/simple affair sometimes :).
