The cost, and setup time to use any of these tools has been far greater than loading up a image and sharing it.

We've found no VTT tool that can do basic fog of war _without_ loading in a bunch of other features we simply don't need.

Is it superior? I never said that, I said that the feature set was overkill.

A long term problem? Like I said above, our game has been going for _4_ years.

A big problem with these tools is the assumption that your players won't do something you didn't plan for. Which the system I described deals with well. Our DM has many times spent hours planning our game only for us to spend the entire time slot in one location, or deciding to go somewhere else. When that happens, all he has to do is roll out the setting for us to use our imaginations, or to load up a new image and black layer and share it, 5 - 10 minutes tops.
Will check them out, although Philips Hue also offers an E27 bulb with 1,600 lumen, same as the WiZ, but a bit pricier.
The commercial versions of Lutron controls are an (expensive) option as well, if you are of the sort that really wants whole-home automation.

These things are installed in big fancy commercial buildings where there is an expectation that they last longer than the warranty, which is reassuring.

These things actually do pretty well at power conservation at these scales, but it's a little fuzzy if it will do the same for a home. Just swapping out LED for incandescent gets you pretty much all of the bang for your buck, but if you have people in your house who are allergic to turning off lights, the occupancy sensors will help a bit.

Lutron is a real company as well, an not an Amazon company, which is not nothing.
I am convinced, especially after seeing iPhone 15 reviews.
I went to school at Fort Gordon for two years, and the impression I got was that if I got in trouble, my parents got in trouble, and that would have been way worse. In public schools however, it never crossed my mind that my parents could get in trouble for something I did in school.

With the military schools, there is a huge element of parental responsibility and that's why I think it made them great.
I prefer good writing over wokie identity politics injected into low grade corporate content. Disney is never producing a film of the same quality as Priscilla Queen of the Desert. And I’m sick of people defending Disney mediocrity because it panders to them or pretends to be high-minded.
In sensitive cases you do not think about the normal policy, you think about the worst case. You just can't afford a leak. Your local installation may be much better protected than a public service, by technology and by policy.

>> AGI is not, and there is no evidence that it is even possible.

> We ourselves are an existence proof that minds like ours can be made, that these minds can be made from matter, and that the design for the organisation of that matter can come from a simple process of repeatedly making imprecise copies and then picking the best at surviving long enough to make more imprecise copies.

I think that "proof" rests on an as-yet circular assumption. Even if that assumption is accepted, there no evidence that humans are capable of designing a new mind or that it's possible to make a mind that greatly exceeds ours in capability.

Why is Microsoft making laptops period? I understand the actual Surface tablet thing is a wacky hangover from the Windows 8/Ballmer days, but these just seem to be competing with the billion other Windows laptop makers. Huh?
A lot of those long, abstract, difficult bugs become blocking/ship preventing issues, so...no pressure. And alas, many (most?) developers suck at debugging, so if you're any good at it, you get everyone else's broken code to fix. sigh
The intent of this part of 12 Factor comes from the Bad Old Days when devs didn't run their own stuff in production. There was a dev team who could push code and cut releases, and an ops team who would then deploy the releases, and who was paged when things blew up.

If you store the database hostname/credentials, as an example, in the "code" (either literally in the app code, or in a config.ini that lives in the repo and gets baked into a release), then the ops people can't quickly repoint the app at a hot-spare database during an incident: they'll need to edit the repo, push it, cut a new release, etc. If there is a long build step (as for a C++ app, for example), then this isn't really tenable during an outage. If this is in an environment variable, their normal deployment scripts can make the change for them.

I agree that this is probably not necessary anymore if your team is all wearing both hats (dev and ops), and its just as quick to make an edit to the repo and cut/deploy a new release as it would have been for the Ops team to run their deployment script in the old days.

This is a cool approach to an article about home automation. But for me, not only do I refuse to automate things via networking computers together, I won't buy a product that requires me to have a new remote control either. I'm open to things like lights with motion sensors that turn on when I enter the room, but whatever marginal convenience I get from automation would be outweighed by the absurdity of having 25 different, dedicated remote controls to keep track of.

Another peeve is that every G-D home device now feels like it needs an LED light that is on all the time. My view is that it should be dark when the lights turn off, but that's hard to these days.

OpenAI doesn’t own transformers, they didn’t even invent them. They just have the best one at this particular time. They have no moat.

HA has built-in or community provided integrations to pretty much everything imaginable.

You can for example:

- Start the robo vacuum every time there's nobody in the house and tell it to stop when people are coming back
- Add a voice command for said vacuum to just vacuum the kitchen or hallway
- Open the curtains when it's light enough outside and put them back down when it's darker outside than inside.
- Adjust light temperature and brightness based on the time of day so you won't get 1000 lumens of 6000K light blinding you when you go to the bathroom at night
- Turn down the AC/heating when people aren't home and start preheating/cooling when they are nearing the house again

When everything is integrated to HA your imagination is pretty much the only limit when combining different sensors to devices.

I'd recommend reading more on the subject from non-emotionally charged sources.

First of all, is a change from 19.8 to 19.5 really that significant?

Perhaps a noteworthy aspect to consider is the ratio of school-required test takers that might not be prepared vs prepared takers.

This is because the ACT is a test where the score varies greatly depending on preparation. (For example, I scored 27 on my first practice test, and after 5 more practice tests increased that to 34.)

So perhaps one possible explanation is that there were more school required unprepared test takers and fewer prepared test takers this year.
OpenAI'd better hope no one else does it too, if that's all it takes.

If I were your assistant managing your schedule and you come to me and say "I have a sales meeting next Tuesday." Of course I'd schedule the sales meeting, but I might also schedule time for you to 1) Research the client, 2) Drop off dry-cleaning to look sharp for the meeting, 3) A time to pick up that dry-cleaning.

That's what a "scheduling assistant" does. :)

AI is good at reasoning what other events should be scheduled along w/ an event.

I had one on my house growing up from like 2007-2012, rock solid. Bought a house this year and the first thing I did was install these on the front and back doors. Seems like it's exactly the same model that was being sold in 2007 (which is still on my childhood home and going strong btw).
Now apply that same logic to how we write our numbers. Duodecimal notation makes very clean multiplication tables and makes arithmetic easier to learn.

I'm a twelve maximalist. Let's convert SI to duodecimal prefixes. One kilometer should be 1728 meters (of course that's 1000 in duodecimal). One centimeter should be 1/144 of a meter.

I keep hoping for a chance to welcome some highly composite overlords.
T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile in March 2023.

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/15/1163743380/t-mobile-buys-mint...

Even before the acquisition, Mint Mobile was just a T-Mobile MVNO. While Mint Mobile has less expensive plans than T-Mobile, and switching would reduce T-Mobile's profit margin, the quality of Mint Mobile's service is also lower:

> Mint runs on T-Mobile networks so will get the same coverage except it does not get domestic roaming (on AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, and other small regional carriers such as ACS/GCI in Alaska) that T-Mobile post-paid or pre-paid does. Mint is “deprioritized” (on QCI 7) meaning it will get slower speeds than most T-Mobile plans (that are on QCI 6). How much slower depends on the exact second how many people are on the same tower & band compared to the capacity of the tower/band, but with speeds usually between 20-90% of T-Mobile Magenta/Pre-Paid customers at the same time & location.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mintmobile/comments/wm1ynh/mint_mob...

The U.S. wireless carrier industry is in desperate need of more competition. Price increases (such as this one and T-Mobile's earlier removal of the autopay discount for credit card purchases) are exactly what happen when corporate consolidation (T-Mobile merging with Sprint) reduces the number of high-end carriers from 4 to 3.
Depends on one's definition. I don't think "not having a real product/service" is the defining charateristic of "patent troll". Here's what Wikipedia says.

> attempts to enforce patent rights against accused infringers far beyond the patent's actual value or contribution to the prior art

> often do not manufacture products or supply services based upon the patents in question
Bingo--this argument (like many others) is one that doesn't require us to speculate or to invent new ways of building cities. We just need to look around the world to cities that have dealt with this problem successfully, and learn from their examples.
Using the product your company makes in the way it is intended to be used isn't "drinking the koolaid". If you aren't comfortable doing that then you really shouldn't be working there.
I pretty much got rid of my tinnitus, but my situation won't apply to most people.

So I don't have any permanent hearing loss beyond what's normal. My tinnitus is Somatosensory [1], in my case aggravated by neck and jaw tension. My jaw doesn't align all that well on one side, and I can hear a sharp ring if I move my neck/jaw in the right ways.

I first noticed it after a kayaking trip in which I packed my ear with water so badly that I gave up on getting it out. This went on for months until the conductive hearing loss (i.e. earwax) + neck/jaw tension combined to produce tinnitus. Obviously I didn't know the cause at the time, so it caused me some stress before I started to make progress.

This is just armchair medicine, but my tinnitus seems to be caused by poor signal to noise. If my neck/jaw is tense or misaligned, then the noise floor is raised. I think it's literally my auditory nerve picking up interference from my neck or jar. Similarly, if my hearing is blocked, then the signal is lowered. If the signal to noise is too poor, then my brain stops filtering out the noise, and I hear it as tinnitus.

The solution for me is just a combination of neck stretching, and protecting myself from all hearing loss. I have to monitor this because it will flare up occasionally.

I like git patches...I can scan through them, write comments, and maybe strip out files that aren't necessary (if you have two isolated networks and are syncing code in between). I'm a fan of some of these ambitious git projects like GitLab but there's just something about syncing git through patches (like email).

Various debt has different "interest rates" and the skill is to pay off the high interest ones as the expense of 0-rate ones.

I have a closet in the basement where when I did the vinyl plank floor, I ran out so the planks don't quite go to the back of the closet all the way. Problem? Yes? A bit ugly? Yes. But in reality the problem is 100% of the time covered by boxes and anyway I can live a happy life in this house for decades and not be affected. That's 0% tech debt.

On the other hand if my gutters are clogged, there's interest on that because the longer I wait the costlier it will be to deal with since clogged gutters can lead to basement leaks or gutters themselves detaching. Or, if my stoop is broken, that's not just an eye sore but I keep tripping on it, the faster I fix it the sooner I stop tripping. That's a high-interest debt that should be fixed asap.

In engineering, a high-rate debt could be some architectural thing that slows down the development of every single feature. You want to quickly pause features to pay this down so everything can move faster. On the other hand, some file that you never touch having some shitty code or lots of TODOs may be a very low interest debt since in practice you never touch it or are otherwise not bothered by it other than knowing that it's ugly - like my closet floor.

Engineers make two mistakes around this - fixing zero-interest debt when there's more important things to do on one hand. On the other hand, when they say "oh, product management/leadership didn't sponsor our tech debt fixing" - it's often because we fail to articulate the real cost of that problem - explaining that it's high rate and how it's costing you.

You just pointed it out yourself. You can't really modify historical data on a blockchain. So instead you'd need to create separate blockchains with separate histories. That's the value. If you have a centralized but public blockchain you can't really go and swap it out or everyone is going to know.

That's fine, admirable even! But EVs have other problems: mining lithium and other metals for batteries is still terrible for the environment, and other battery technologies are not yet promising enough to replace them. Not to mention that electric cars are still cars, so we still have tire and brake dust, etc. Less than before, of course, but they still exist.
Life is politics, I’m talking about the writing. I hate listening to supposed liberals defend a heartless media monopoly because it panders to their secular religious beliefs. The Disney woke brand is exploitation of a market, it’s not social justice.

I have no idea where you live, but it's great that it's on your receipt.
Shelly devices can do this. You install it in parallel to the light switch.

That way both can turn on the power to the light independently without interfering with each other.

They don't physically move the switches though, but that's pretty rarely needed.
You can't, I guess that's the nature of dissiminating top secret information on the Internet, don't believe me, or use it as a jumping off point and look it up, I don't care, just telling you want happened. I could give a few more details but that's the interesting part
It destroys the conversation.

It would be nice to be able to disown a comment, instead.

Comments that accidentally reveal personal information, that would be a nice use-case for deletion. But on the other hand, nothing can be deleted from the internet, so having the button there could add a false sense of security.
I’ve used Visible for a couple of years now and they’re fine - I’m currently on their lower tier plan and it works well enough. I do route my phone’s traffic through a Wireguard endpoint on my home network, though, which stops the usual video throttling.

Try it for a month before porting if you can - in the end it is still an inexpensive mvno and customer service is one of the places they cut costs.
if they had options, i.e the ability to purchase stock at, say, $10, but the company was sold with that stock being worth $9 only, then exercising those options would lose them money.

> Light switches are within reach when you enter a room.

For multi-entry rooms (many rooms that aren't bedrooms or bathrooms, and even occasionally bedrooms and bathrooms) this is often true of less than all the entrances to the room.

> Once you're inside, you rarely have to touch them again until you exit.

Not all that true if you are in a room with substantial natural light across the day/night transition.

> Don't get me started on the motion sensing lights TFA mentions. I curse the times I've entered a public bathroom that has these, only for the light to go off at the most inopportune moment. Don't want to use a physical switch because of sanitation? That's fine, but cheap and low-power LED lights exist for them to be always on during your service hours. You won't save much having the light turn off, and potentially annoy your customers.

Motion sensing lights with sensors designed to track motion outside of the stalls and a short timer exist specifically to "annoy your customers". Or. more specifically, they exist to discourage activities that involve spending an extended time in the stalls, whether it is various uncouth activities or merely employee malingering. Obviously, that also has adverse impacts on people doing normal bathroom activities that happen to take longer than average times, but that's a tradeoff the people employing these systems have decided is worthwhile.

It is not about energy savings, so arguing against it as unnecessary for energy savings misses the point.
Just like tattoos they can fade.

Assume permanent data when you want something deleted and temporary data when you want it saved. If you want it deleted it's probably because someone thinks it is worth saving. If you want it saved, well it doesn't mean anyone does,(or that who ever does will make it accessible) so you'll need to ensure it's paid for.
I've been happily using Ting Mobile for about 8 years, and my bill is always under $45 for two lines, 2GB, 1000 SMS, and 100 minutes (it's lower when we use less). It seems that the plan I'm on isn't available for new customers, but it looks like the new plans might actually be even cheaper.
I agree there are things to be wary of, all new tech is a double edged sword. But the pro’s obviously outweigh the cons in the same way the internet and smart phones have.

You’ll find very few people who will say they would prefer to live in a world where all humanity’s collective knowledge is not instantly accessible to everyone. You used to have to drive to the library to look things up! Is that old world better? Heck no.

> You can't really modify historical data on a blockchain.

On a private chain you can easily change the data. Remove the hashing fig leaf and it’s even easier.

On a public one it’s the public nature that prevents changes after publication. So no, being a blockchain doesn’t prevent changes whatsoever. Having a public ledger does.
