80% of my lights are smart bulbs rather than switches, and I agree with your take here. In my house I have the smarts in the switch itself wherever possible, but so much of my lighting is from floor and table lamps (that aren't plugged into switched outlets). In those cases, the bulb is the only thing I can "smarten", and it still will work via the stem on the lamp itself if the HA box goes away.

The main drawback is that this means I have to have the bulbs set to light up after power is restored. A middle-of-the-night power outage is fun when the entire house lights up at 3am :)

I've done a few new installs of lighting in my garage, driveway, and patio. Because that was "greenfield" work, I got to put smart switches in. If I ever rewire this house, I'll use that opportunity to do some more.
I was strongly considering buying this, but instead ordered the Hisense A7 off of Aliexpress. The main differences is the the A7 is a bit larger than the Palma and also has a headphone jack. It does get some service in the US, but it's also filled with a bunch of Chinese apps that are constantly phoning home, so I currently don't have my sim in it. I've ripped out much of the Chinese bloat with ADB, but I've had to reenable/reinstall when it lead to something breaking. Aside from that, I'm pretty happy with it. It looks some people have gotten root access, but it looks like a somewhat complicated process.

Well, if you are the type of carpenter that afford doing the best drawers and dominate your market, you can probably work slower. e.g. Some luthiers sell their instruments 5 years before their completion.

If you're the middle-end drawer maker, then you probably will put plywood on the back so that you can build more in less time and call it a day.

I haven’t heard any evidence that they have millions of Plus subscribers.

I’ve seen 100 to 200 million active users, but nothing about paid users from them. The surveys I saw when doing a quick google search reported much less than 1% of users paying.
Doesn’t matter how the pre-roll ad is served or who is serving it. The customer wants to pay for no ads, and that includes removing ads otherwise embedded into the video. The fact that ads people see this as out-of-scope demonstrates how little ads people want to make a product that users want. It’s all about burning the dumb money of advertisers and abusing the users along the way.
It's important to vote for people locally and federally who support things like the child tax credit, free meals at school, maternity leave, etc. This is especially important since the repeal of Roe V Wade if you live in a place with forced birth.
I strongly recommend cancelling all your subscription services and seeing how long you can go without renewing any of them. Try no TV, really none at all, for a month and see how it feels. Ask yourself at the end: How did you spend your time differently?
> Advocacy of genocide has been forbidden since long before COVID happened.

Really? Cause I remember post-9/11 it was a pretty mainstream opinion that America should go glass the middle east. And then, you know, America went and actually did start an awful, bloody war in the middle east that lasted for 20+ years. It was the anti-war people who were getting censored and accused of being terrorist sympathizers.

They are actually rather dangerous even.
You certainly don't want your dev (or test CI) to reset the database if you are accidentally connected to prod. Same for email-endpoints, CDN, a message-bus, etc.

I've had my share of near-heart-attacks where I send out 10k emails or thousands of payments on actual production services because of a spagetti config loaders with stuff that boils down to `if (getHostname() === "localhost") { include("dev.json") } else { include("prod.json") }`.

I'd prefer a hundred .envs and whatnots to avoid just one of these scares.

My wording is wrong, because it sounds like I'm saying that Bentham is adopting the policy ad hoc. A better way to state this is that Bentham starts out as an agent that does not give into brinksmanship type games, because a world where brinksmanship type games exist is a substantially worse world than ones where they don't (because net-negative situations will end up happening, it takes effort to set up brinksmanship and good actions do not benefit more from brinksmanship). It's different because by adopting C, Bentham prevents the mugger from mugging, which is a better world than one where the mugger goes on mugging. I don't see any contradiction in utilitarianism here.

If the world where the thought experiment is not true and "mugging" is net positive, calling it mugging then is disingenuous, that's just more optimally allocating resources and is more equivalent to the conversation
"hi bentham i have a cool plan for 10 dollars let me tell you what it is"
"okay i have heard your plan and i think it's a good idea here's 10 bucks"

Except that you are putting the words "mugging" and implying violence so that people view the interaction as more absurd than it actually is.

This makes a lot of sense. A small model that “knows” enough English and a couple of programming languages should be enough for it to replace something like copilot, or use plug-ins or do RAG on a substantially larger dataset

The issue right now is that to get a model that can do those things, the current algorithms still need massive amounts of data, way more than what the final user needs

Why are people calling them hate rallies? Because their immediate response to an unprecedented atrocity was to spontaneously organize a public celebration.

It's like organizing a "pro-German but not pro-Nazi" march the day after Kristallnacht, with banners and chants glorifying the violence.

Nobody is fooled and every normal person with a shred of empathy is disgusted.

Watch a crowd cheer for a speaker who says that every Israeli man, woman and child is a valid military target.

https://twitter.com/Cooper4SAE/status/1711214442875093236

And of course people legitimately holding a vigil for peace and supporting the human rights of Palestinian civilians are not guilty of hate, so long as they don't justify or downplay the crimes of Hamas. But many of the rallies were absolutely something else that has no place in a free or decent society.

I've seen plenty of Palestinians interviewed on TV who said "I'm disgusted by the attacks of Hamas. All I want is peace for our people." Everyone can support a statement like that, and if the organizers of these rallies cared they could have thrown out anyone who didn't.
Youtube doesn't get any money from sponsored segments. It's a direct deal between the channel owner and the sponsor.

The only way it gets YouTube additional money is because it lets those channels put out more frequent or higher budget videos, which usually leads to more views.
Mitochondrial permeabilization promotes inflammation in aged cells: study
Working at a place like this now and I saw at least one previous workplace go from a healthy engineering org to something like this when they brought in new engineering leaders who all wanted to make their mark quickly.

The problem is often systemic and a symptom of an engineering team not really having control over their own roadmap. You see it when an engineering team isn't agreeing to take on work, but rather being told what to work on by people outside of the team. Sometimes it's isolated to a single team, but sometimes it can be a whole org or company. It's caused by bad expectations around the amount of work that can be done and unclear priorities. How many people it affects depends on what level the bad expectations are being set at.

In practice, this is how I've seen it play out. There are 10 developers worth of work that needs to be done by X date, but we only have a team of 8. No one has made it clear what the prioritization is or if they have, that priority isn't universally accepted or changes day to day. If everything is equally important, the tough work that may not have noticeable results is often what gets pushed into the backlog over and over. To people who see engineers as the "build new features" people, it's hard to regularly justify "I can't build feature X because I have to solve bug Y" and then a week later say "I still have no idea what's causing this issue".

It's easy to say, well just get everyone to agree on priority and what a reasonable amount of work is, but that's far, far easier said than done.

No, democracies have to have limits what they tolerate. Killing civilians just because they have a certain religion is incompatible with western values. The limit should be too not be tolerant with people that are not willing to provide the same tolerance. By that standard celebrating the killing of civilians we shouldn't tolerate.

I think some people need to understand that it is one thing to sympathise with Palestinians in general but it is another to side with Hamas, either explicitly or by default. Certainly, condemning Saturday's savage attacks on Israeli civilians does not mean supporting Israel's policies.
> Why is it up to the pedestrian (who may have never driven a motor vehicle) to anticipate the performance characteristics of this large metal vehicle in the street ?

Because we have to share the space?

Replace car with bike, and while the risk to the person walking is far less than with a car it's the same idea.

Just pay attention and realize that you can stop on a dime (at least if your walking) as a human and something on wheels cannot. If you are a teenager and older and you don't know that a car can't stop on a dime and you run in front of one I don't know what to tell you, you should wether or not you have ever driven a car before.

Ignorance is not a defense in my opinion.

Edit:
Also I am going to point out that any of our opinions on who is at fault, laws, or whatever has zero impact if your in the hospital or dead because you did something stupid as a pedestrian.
https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-p... is somewhat ambiguous on this front:

> Limit your use of data to providing or improving user-facing features that are prominent in the requesting application's user interface;

> Don't allow humans to read the data, unless: You first obtained the user's affirmative agreement to view specific messages, files, or other data, with the limited exception of use cases approved by Google under additional terms applicable to the Nest Device Access program...

Did Slack make it clear to the user sharing their Drive link that the preview isn't just visible to them, but to anyone in the channel or who has access to the link? Was that clear enough to be affirmative agreement? Is the little area where the preview is shown while you're composing a Slack message prominent enough to display that it will include a screenshot of the data?

Clearly, Slack thinks the answer to all these questions is yes, and Google either agrees or isn't enforcing their guidelines here.

(...As an unrelated point, the fact that the Nest Device Access guidelines are an explicit exception to even this modicum of user visibility, that the guidelines aren't linked, and can be unilaterally changed by Google without notification to users is... well, why I don't own Nest devices.)

>The criticism is that cryptoassets do not, in practice, have the censorship resistance they are billed as having.

Correct: when you have assets in the traditional financial system, you don't have censorship resistance, which everyone knew. This is not an argument that the cryptocurrency itself lacks censorship resistance.

>There are myriad rebuttals you could make, but dismissing it entirely isn't one of them, imho.

Which I didn't do. I correctly pointed out that if you interface between systems A and B, you inherit the problems of both A and B. Which everyone already knew, and didn't require the enlightened insight of you and almost_unusual to point out specific instances of. It's just that most people also don't equate this with the argument that "A always has B's problems".

>This is the libertarian equivalent of claiming that Soviet Russia wasn't real communism. Sure, in both cases, things weren't realized in the way they had been envisioned. If proponents want to be successful in the future, they need to reckon with that and not shirk it.

It would be more like saying, "if you're in a libertarian paradise, and then travel to Soviet Russia, your economic freedoms will be infringed. Checkmate libertarians!" No one was arguing that economic freedoms wouldn't be infringed outside of a libertarian country, just like no one claims that if you move assets off a crypto blockchain, they will still have all the properties of blockchain transactions. Whatever the problems of libertarianism/blockchain, this would be a bad argument.

"If you put the wrong numbers in, do the right answers still come out?" No, they don't. And if you don't use the blockchain, you don't get the benefits of the blockchain (or the costs), and vice versa.
Crazy enough, I'm from the management school that believes the work is only the tool to develop the person and pay the bills. I will always sacrifice the work for the worker. It's sad that the majority of managers see this in reverse.
I noticed the relief immediately when I heard that noise, so if it doesn’t, might be worth shopping around for a tinnitus scrubber sound that works for you. The gentleman who made that noise in the link I posted makes many others. My tinnitus is in the very high frequency range, above 15.5khz, and I don’t think is tied to any hearing damage— at least as far as the audiologists can tell. If you have a lower frequency ringing you might need something closer to “brown noise”.
Might I point out that driver testing is more stringent in most of those countries. This can also partially explain lower vehicle fatalities as well, even on higher speed roads like the autobahn. Road design and other technical factors can help, but at the end of the day, ignorant or stupid people will still make stupid choices.

Edit: why disagree? We should be focusing on education and testing for the best improvement as it will be beneficial to multiple problems.

A lot of these older plans were marketed as no contract plans. That was tmobiles whole thing for a while. No more contracts.

"That sounds like a you problem. Why is it up to the pedestrian (who may have never driven a motor vehicle) to anticipate the performance characteristics of this large metal vehicle in the street ?"

That is a pretty absurd take.

Knowing that a ton of steel moving fast can kill you is a necessary knowledge in modern civilization, much like knowing that an enraged mammoth can kill you was a necessary knowledge in the Stone Age. And normal parents teach their children how to be safe(r) in the street long, long before they could possibly become drivers themselves.
Completely agree.

Baltimore City Schools received 29 federal Covid grants totaling $799M to fight learning loss. Yet, in 2023, just 9.1% of all 3rd-8th graders tested proficient in math. MEANING, taxpayers gave an additional $799M and 91% of Baltimore students are NOT math proficient.

New test scores, known as MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program), obtained by Project Baltimore, revealed that 23 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, had not one student that could do math at grade level.

Calverton school (https://www.niche.com/k12/calverton-elementary-middle-school...)

A Calverton educator, who reached out to Fox45, claims to have received that text. “[It instructed me to] go into my grade book, make sure no students are failing, and essentially change the grade if they are failing so they will pass with a 60 percent,” said the teacher, whose identity we are concealing upon request.

“I was frustrated as a teacher. We’re public servants. And when we see things like grade changing, that’s self-serving. That’s not helping the kids.”

After watching Fox45’s recent investigations into allegations of grade changing at Calverton, the City Schools employee contacted Project Baltimore to say a couple things. First, according to the teacher, grade changing at Calverton is “very common.”

Second, the educator told Fox45, changing grades is the easiest and fastest way to pass more students, which makes the school and its administrators look better. But, it does a huge disservice to not just the kids, but our entire community.

“Teaching a whole generation of kids that they don’t have to be accountable for their actions, or that hard work isn’t valued or valuable when they are in school, is so discouraging and damaging.”

Adding insult to injury, the same teacher said that he even passed kids who had been on his roster all year but didn’t bother to show up for a single day of class.

But this teacher says grade changing at Calverton goes much further than just taking a failing grade and making it a 60. Some students who pass, according to this educator, don’t even have grades because they’ve never showed up to class.

“There were students on my roster all year that I had never met, had never seen. On paper they passed my class and passed onto the next year.”

“I love my job and I love my students,” concluded the teacher. “I want to see the students at Calverton and other schools across the city, get a fresh start. And it’s going to be hard because the students are used to this now. But the students deserve better and our city deserve better.”
