It was not the glowies for sure.
In fact, I just had cause to use the term again, which prompted me to return here to describe my usage a little bit more.

I was documenting a configuration file, and noted that one particular value was chosen "arbitrarily". What I meant by that (and what I am reasonably confident that my audience would understand) is that my choice of that value was not influenced by any other concerns - I did not have to make sure it matched some other value in the file (or in another configuration value), or that it conformed to some enumeration of permitted or significant values.

So - yes, I was technically stating that the value was "the result of a judgement or choice", but _much more strongly_ I was stressing the fact that (personal) judgement was the _only_ factor in the selection, not conformance to other prior values, rules, or restrictions. So - not purely random, but in some sense "closer" to random than to pre-determined.

I agree with you here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37731820) that entirely throwing away the meaning of the word "arbitrary" and making it a synonym for "random" would not be useful - but I don't think that's what's proposed. Arbitrary is (and, I believe, always has been) a word which stresses the importance of choice and judgement - but sometimes that means "strongly considered judgement was applied here to select the optimal option", and other times it can mean "any selection which you choose is probably satisfactory here - there are no hidden constraints, rules, or requirements".

Plainly not true. Some are better hardware/quality wise. All are better when it comes to freedom with what you can actually do with the device.
I have the same issue.

But another somewhat related issue: apps that are allowed to ignore your audio settings. I have my sound muted pretty much all the time and inevitably apps I use that have ads auto play them usually with sound on at a high level. It's quite aggravating.
I don't think it's particularly cringeworthy, though it probbaly plays better if you're familiar with Metal Gear.
Social engineering remains a hack mode. And a highly effective one.

This is more a systems engineering hack (there's no social persuasion required). But it remains a means which achieves and ends, against the putative intent of the system itself.
One technique is radiocarbon dating:

>In IIT, the amount of consciousness a system has is tracked by a mathematical quantity called Phi, and, according to the theory, wherever there is non-zero Phi, there will be consciousness, at least to some degree. This implies a restricted form of panpsychism, since instances of non-zero Phi can be found beyond brains, and even in non-biological systems.

Interesting... from my perspective, it seems more pseudoscientific to claim that there is something unique about carbon-based lifeforms, which allows them to be conscious and prevents other things from being conscious.

Like, is the universe supposed to check for the presence of carbon before it decides to endow a computation with a subjective experience? That seems wack.

In any case, I don't understand why there are so many people interested in consciousness, and so few people interested in sensation. Suppose I've been drinking all night, and I'm out cold on the floor, unconscious due to intoxication. You walk up and give me a kick. I'm still unconscious, but I might respond by yelping or rolling over. I won't remember anything about the incident in the morning, but it still caused me pain.

Despite my being unconscious, there is still some process which generated pain when you kicked me. Why is it that whatever occurred in my nervous system generated pain rather than pleasure? For example, there are some neurotransmitters and receptors which are associated with pain, and others which are associated with pleasure -- is there something about dopamine which makes it intrinsically pleasurable? Or is it easy to imagine an organism that evolved to use dopamine to signal pain rather than pleasure? And if the latter -- which strikes me as more likely -- what lever is the dopamine actually pulling? What is actually going on in the brain's "pain center" or "pleasure center" which causes pain or pleasure?

It seems to me that solving the puzzle of sensation should be considered a prerequisite for the problem of consciousness, because consciousness is mix of information processing + varied sensations.

I don’t think that’s the argument you think it is. Thought experiment, grab a random USB C cable, now tell me:

1. What speed can you transfer data through it?

2. How much power can it deliver?

3. Can it support video over USB C?

4. Say a random device comes with a USB-A cable on one side and a USB-c on the other. Now take a standard usb c/usb c cable, will it always charge the device?

Also when that same government first wanted to “standardize”. They wanted to standardize on micro-USB.

Appreciate the skepticism; it keeps us on our toes. Let's cut to the chase:

Domain Lockdown: We added this to our Cloudflare Workers integration. It mandates a DNS TXT record to authorize a Worker to send emails from a specific domain. You can't forge the CF-Worker header, so impersonation is off the table.

Pre-Lockdown Vulnerability: Yes, we were more exposed before. Thanks to the researchers who pointed it out, we've patched this up with Domain Lockdown.

SMTP Relay & Web Hosting: Domain Lockdown isn’t mandatory yet in the rest of our service for the web hosting industry. But we’re developing updates for our cPanel WHM plugin and other integrations to make this scalable for millions of domains. Note that our service has to work for applications like public mailing lists where locking the sender domain down breaks stuff.

Scale & Standardization: We service a broad range of configurations. Rolling out universal changes takes time. We're also working with industry groups like M3AAWG to push for improvements to DMARC and other standards to help everyone be more secure.

The sleeves end up sitting basically at the top of the back of the seat, so they're not in the way. I guess this wouldn't work if you're significantly taller than an airplane seat, like if your whole head is above the top of the back of the seat.

This isn't the reason for the odd frequencies (and black and white television was exactly 60i). The reason for the odd frame-rate is that you need to do some very fancy math to fit the color data in the same analog signal without breaking backwards compatibility.
We did know by April at least (IIRC basically right after that cruise ship docked). Wikipedia for example [0] had CFR stats broken down by age group showing it was basically a nuisance to people under 50 and only breaking 1% mortality for people over 60 (i.e. it didn't affect children or the working population, so closing schools was known at the time to be a stupid idea. IIRC Fox News were pointing this out at the time), and IIRC at the time the CDC was estimating ~30% asymptomatic cases, so an even lower IFR.

I think a lot of your objections to 'science' are due to basic communication misunderstandings and taking things you heard second hand at face value as 'science'. It would probably help to decouple yourself from the notion that a pared down snippet heard from a journalist or on a website is actually what the studies are saying.

Due to their vastly greater mass and torque, EVs produce far more tire pollution than ICE vehicles do. In addition to that, tire dust is a far larger part of the overall pollution from operating a car than even the emissions from an ICE car. "Research done by UK-based independent testing company Emissions Analytics showed that used tyres produce 36 milligrams of particles each kilometre, which is nearly 2,000 times higher than the 0.02 mg/km average from exhausts."

That is easy. The ad placers are liable for 100% of the harm caused. They can figure out how to deal with it so they stop causing harm.

A simple solution is requiring the companies providing the ads to be placed to indemnify the ad placers. That means the ad placers push the monetary liability onto their customers to only provide legitimate ads. As they know exactly who their customers are and can vet them it is trivial for them to go after them if they are sketchy.

Easy. Next problem.

You don’t have to tear it all down. Just tear some of it down. For example, you could tear down a single house and replace it with a shop, and suddenly a whole neighbourhood would have a shop within walking distance.

Oh I like how it's neutral and stays away my from any bias like Pi.AI does. I asked PI many controversially biased topics like it's thoughts on Trump, trans ppl, what media outlets aren't biased and did it recommend any replying Reuters and the AP which I agree..it then asked me what news outlets I thought weren't biased and I jokingly said MSNBC and Fox News which is corrected me saying umm those are biased outlets lol
That's a disingenuous response. The idea of cars and car culture have significant negative externalities (the tire pollution in TFA/GP, shitty urban planning, classism/marginalization of people who can't own cars, and so on). Those externalities might be worth it, or they might not.

But that's not "entangling ideology with progress", that's just ... pointing out the drawbacks of a progressive initiative (EVs).

Put another way, the idea of a burger decoupled from the beef industry has few negative externalities. The idea of a car decoupled from fossil fuels does.
The cost-benefit calculations in terms of excess deaths are irrelevant. It was clear even during the initial outbreak that policymakers primary constraints were the due to uncertainty about the virus and limits on availability of protective gear and ICU beds. Without protective gear there was no way to reduce transmission without isolation and once ICU beds are at capacity mortality rates double and people are dying in the streets and the medical system collapses.

There is no scenarios where the collapse of the medical system is a viable outcome for policymakers that is also compatible with a functioning economy. A collapse of the medical system means non-covid fatalities also increase. Heart attacks, car accidents and childbirth all become mortality contributors. The most likely outcome of a medical system collapse would be martial law, mass graves, economic collapse and potential collapse of essential systems like food distribution.

The idea that policymakers were primarily constrained by the thought of grandpa dying a few years early and weighing it against the grandkids social isolation needs to die.
This is an excellent point here are a few more.

EVs are usually designed for consumers convenience insofar as being able to travel a substantial distance between charges to accommodate a minority of actual use when user may need to travel further than the average commute inside the city. A company that operates a fleet of taxis can purchase a very large number of short jaunt single/dual passenger EV and a much smaller number of large vehicles and task the former with the majority of rides either charging frequently when unused or hot swapping batteries when theirs get low. Therefore weight and ergo tire dust might be decreased even more so than one might imagine from size alone due to the reduced battery needs.

One might also suppose that in exclusively urban environments it might make sense to provide harder tires designed to produce less dust and less aggressive driving than human drivers to the same end.
German hyperinflation, and what it has to do with a Nobel Prize
He posted a video in the thread comparing an M1 machine (they don’t have the bug) with an M2. It’s rather obvious in that simple sine-wave test.

This isn’t one of those things like the difference between 128 Kbps MP3 and FLAC, where there is a difference but it can be kind of subtle depending on the listening equipment.

It’s clear in that demo.
I use my iPhone and cellular iPad for 80 GB tethering per month used outside of home and work, for instance in a NYC cafe or outside during the summer. I don't like relying on public WiFi for security reasons. I also bring a nice large powercell for additional charge. It adds about an extra pound, but gives me a full recharge on the 16" MacBook Pro.

Using fast.com (Netflix server) I get 56 Mbps down and 24 Mbps up on Verizon with my iPhone 15 Pro Max in Manhattan which is another reason to use WiFi.

Anyone have a good comparison between this and LibreOffice?
My local arcade had this game back in the 90's and it got quite a few of my quarters.

One thing that stood out to me back then was how cool the music sounded. Beneath the brassy and tinkly FM synthesis they had these sort of choral samples and orchestra hits going on the wavetable channels.

Not every game had sampling in their soundtracks back then.

Going to load this up in MAME tonight for nostalgia's sake.
My only serious gripe with OnlyOffice is that when opening a CSV, you have to choose an encoding and delimiter, and there is no way to set a default. You must click twice, in two places, every single time you open a CSV.
Aliasing can actually occur in the capture stage if the setup isn't right. Think of moire patterns in a video with highly textured subjects. It can happen whenever a signal is sampled.

The mastering discussed higher up in the thread is going on ahead of time at the studio, not on your playback system. The whole mastering pipeline starts with some initial capture resolution from microphones/cameras. The studio processes these original raw captures into a combined form and prepares the distribution format, i.e. a planned audio/video stream resolution. The studio can use different resolutions during capture, processing, and final distribution.

Generally speaking, the highest rates would be easiest to work with and avoid perceptible artifacts. But practical tradeoffs are made to save cost whether in processing, transfer, or storage.
It’s also a sample size of one. So to me at least it’s still the exception that proves the rule.
I had this experience with Texas Instruments graphing calculators in the 00s. They have a language, TI-BASIC that was my first introduction to programming. You can even make small games with ASCII characters on the screen (ex: I made one where a “Y” you controlled with the arrow keys fell through “floors with holes” made of dashes and spaces). Obviously super helpful for science and math classes, which was the only way I used it at first. You can program with just the calculator itself; you don’t even need a computer. I think TI-83/TI-84 are still used in classrooms, which is what I used.

I agree, but that doesn't answer my question. It's like if I asked why a car goes forwards when you push the gas pedal, and you responded: "The car goes forwards because the driver wants it to move forwards." What I really want is enough understanding of the internals of the car to grasp the chain of cause and effect that causes it to move forwards when you push the gas pedal.
