I've had a rental Tesla for two weeks and I much prefer my gas car besides for the acceleration... Charging gets old quick if you don't have a charger at home... I have to charge daily even if I don't drive much... The estimated miles per charge is complete bullshit also... I get less than 100 miles per full charge even though it says I should be getting 300... And charging to 100 percent takes forever even on the fast Tesla chargers... Most of the time they don't deliver 250kwh like they are supposed to
> Everyone must do X so that I can feel safe.

No. "Everybody must do X so we are more safe". Given that you're mentioning the evidence, the effectiveness of covid vaccines isn't about feelings. The narcissism is of course in the notion "everyone else will be less safe, because I want to feel more free."
Yes, people worrying about AI when the gain from computers still isn't really here yet.

In Europe, there is still a massive reluctance to hire programmers. So most large corporates/governments are buying from Oracle or SAP, get in an Indian contractor to implement, it inevitably goes wrong, and then they say how unreasonably expensive it all is...and it would be even more expensive if they hired onshore.

And then you talk to the person who is managing the contract for the purchaser...struggles with Excel, struggles with basic tasks in Windows...I am sure this happens in the US too btw, but it is just unreasonably extreme in Europe. The dominance of SAP in particular is an indication that something is very wrong with enterprise software.

You could stream your gameplay without resorting to Cloud. Steam has (had?) a great service where you could stream your game from one computer to another on the same network.

Admittedly, I'm not in the cloud gaming market nor would I ever be. First, data caps prevent me from doing this. Second, let's say I wanted to stream from some public place. I have to connect to their wifi? Non-starter. Not going to happen. Stream over mobile? Data caps again, this time they charge an arm and a leg and the connection quality is garbage. Third, if I am out of my house I'm probably driving. A Switch, Steam Deck, or Cloud Gaming can't do anything for that.

It turns out I'm no longer a child. I cannot game while out of the house anymore and that's ok. I will never sign up for a cloud gaming service until they can get over the infrastructural issues that prevent adults like me from engaging. For starters that would be public transit, and better Internet infrastructure and services.

I'm happy you found a use case for it. Most of the United States in particular, and I'd wager the world as a whole, does not and will not be in a place where that's viable.
Xbox probably has a great collection of titles that could run on Steam Deck or other handhelds.

Game Pass for Handhelds, so you can get access to their archive of handheld optimized games.
I think the main reason for the link is to circumvent the Telegraph's pay wall? In a way we are the problem - if we won't pay then newspapers have to get money for their staff salaries from somewhere.
That was a nice walk down memory lane. I worked for CI Labs for about a year and published a book on OpenDoc that was released just as the project was canceled. C'est la vie!
According to this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BC3uI18oLU , there is a 55% revenue share with creators. So, about half of that money goes to maintaining and improving YouTube and the rest goes to the content creators themselves.

You'll probably get a bunch of responses about colonization, but it is a good question.

In Alaska it is even more of an issue. There are lots of hidden costs related to AK Natives and others living in remote villages accessible only by plane or snowmachine, such as state and federal subsidies for airports, etc. Try googling "Alaska bypass mail" and go down that rabbit hole.

There may be good reasons for all that cost, such as letting Alaska natives keep some heritage, keeping sovereign claim over remote lands, etc., but it does deserve a conversation about what it is costing to have them out there versus living on the road system at least. I think it's one of those "let sleeping dogs lie" sort of thing.
That short story was well written.
New species for what niche? Do you understand what coral reefs are and how they grow? What happens when they die? New species don't magically take their place in short order. Some basic information for you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef

Sometimes called rainforests of the sea,[3] shallow coral reefs form some of Earth's most diverse ecosystems. They occupy less than 0.1% of the world's ocean area, about half the area of France, yet they provide a home for at least 25% of all marine species,[4][5][6][7] including fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, echinoderms, sponges, tunicates and other cnidarians.[8] Coral reefs flourish in ocean waters that provide few nutrients. They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, but deep water and cold water coral reefs exist on smaller scales in other areas.
The whole point of taxes is that you don't get to pick and choose the parts you like or use. If you don't like where the dollars are going, go vote–although I would personally say that my taxes have many worse places they are going that you might be interested in before we get to any arts projects.
They are right that hearing aids aren't the only app for this platform though.

For example, AirPod Pros have a motion sensor. I'd love to build an app that uses this to fuse with video for a bouldering analysis thing I work on in my spare time.

This comments section is going to be a no man's land in a few hours, so I'll try to keep any judgement completely out of this text field.

I'm not going to go over the last hundred or so years of stroke/counterstroke/countercounterstroke in the western Med - you can look that up yourselves. Hopefully you will use reputable scholarship to do so, and realize - like with Russia-Ukraine - that nothing happens for no reason . . or because the devil . . or because literally Hitler.

A lot of what I say would have applied to 9/11 as well; it would behoove anyone speaking heatedly to perhaps review the aftereffects of decisions[1] in those days.

So you're fighting this bunch of guys. They injected some yahoos into your country. They killed a bunch of your people, but are not trying nor able to hold territory. They are unable to expand their borders in your direction at any point in the future, because you have nuclear weapons, and conventional superiority besides. Now, why do you think they went around doing their killing so very splashingly? OK, good. Are you going to do the thing they want you to do? I think the current answer is, "yes", and that's fascinating to me.

Both fundamentalist and new reactionaries of our current era share a goal: the reduction of the post-Enlightenment secular state, in favor of either a theocracy or a neo-feudal plutocracy, with lots of technological spice. Although these two forces are sometimes deadly enemies, they - like Fascism and Stalinism before them - work together to create a much more dangerous environment than either could accomplish alone. Serious People remaining in power should probably acknowledge this, and either throw in with the techno-feudalists, or re-energize the secular social powers that created and maintains the Modern world. I suppose Option C, "Make Your Own Ethnonatalist Blood God", is also an option, but I like nice things and don't decorate my carpet with skulls.

[1] We took the option of thinking the rest of the world wanted to live on the set of the latest season of MILF Manor, but we also started shooting before the sewer line was put in. Another option is treating it like an international law enforcement problem - which it very much was, but the American resistance to international law obstructed that path. The final path was to go down hot: every nationality represented on the attacks to be regarded as hostile, and each hostile power will put forth an unconditional surrender, WW2-style. As a nuclear power, America would have had to only make one or two ghastly examples before everyone else took the knee. This is horrifying, probably would have damaged our reputation even more than the real reaction did, and - most importantly - brutalizes our populace to mass death. However, the net bloodshed would have probably been less. Virtually everyone I know reminds me of this fact fairly regularly, and I need to remind them of how hard it is to fill up your truck on radioactive gasoline.
I guess the former was expected, while this was a surprise.

Also being a Democrat or a Republican is not a biological trait, and it is strongly affected by the environment, education, family etc. Extrovert vs introvert closer to being left handed vs right handed.

Even if they were they couldn't get into a whole lot of markets. It sort of piggy backs off of municipal fiber which is a nonstarter in some places due to costs or it straight up being illegal.

So this is a late comment but I finally clicked the link because I am a DMT addict, and lordy that's a cool thing that looks like it will travel just fine.

Which do you find best for traveling? I travel with one of the big DMT fine hones but if I was resorting to something on my keychain maybe I want coarse? When I said I do a "quick repair" I meant I can't correct each knife with only a fine hone, but I can make them better. In that spirit maybe the optimal travel keychain hone size is coarse. Because I don't have all night, nobody else cares, and sharper is better than "prop knife", as another commenter mentioned.

Very cool about the ceramics, I had not thought of that but since we have many crafty ceramics we know their abrasive properties and once you are given the idea huh that's obvious. Thank you!
Yes.

But perhaps go further?

Should you be able to use customers data for any purpose whatsoever except in the delivery of goods and services that define your business?

There are edge cases, of course. But it is not edge cases that matter.

Giving permission is problematic. How do you know if you have genuine permission?

Her in New Zealand I think (IANAL) that if the other side of a major contract (like a house purchase) does not get independent legal advice then it is very difficult to enforce the contract in any way other that buy/sell.

Other conditions, idiosyncratic ones, cannot be enforced.

First off we understand a lot about the human brain, but that doesn't matter because no one is arguing that we understand the totality of the human brain, instead what is being argued is: The human brain is as simple as an LLM and thus LLMs are sentient, can reason, and can know facts.

>I have a quote I like in this context, “Could you learn gymnastics just from watching videos?”

It's not like language models learn by some sort of magic osmosis. They're not just "reading" text or "watching" images. They learn by predicting, failing and adjusting neurons based on the data. Text is their world and they are interacting with it.

> I highly doubt we’re ever going to comprehensively fix all of our infrastructure issues in America.

We won't and we don't want to. People think that we're just a "few years out" from being able to fix things. We don't want to fix things. We love our country this way. This is what we vote for. This is what we pay for. This is us. We love being covered in the fetid scum at the bottom of a dumpster. It gets us off.
I think this is a great argument on the future role and place of loosely-controlled capitalism as these kinds of advances continue to come but, at the same time, a sorely lacking argument for why we should avoid technological advances which replace existing jobs for the sake of keeping the same jobs we have now. After all, the aforementioned French Revolution happened prior to the 1st (for the French), 2nd, and 3rd industrial revolutions but you don't see the French rallying to disown all technology and go back to the jobs of the time as a way to increase their standard of living - because it wouldn't, even if everyone were 100% employed and worked twice as much in doing so.

As a further point, by this logic the very tasks of the Junior Developer role itself would never have been available - hell, society wouldn't even be investing in teaching everyone how to type in school because computers take jobs and people need work to do! It follows that societies are quite capable of A) finding new meaningful sources of work to be done B) having people do more than one course of work throughout their lives C) changing the ways they educate and train beyond the way they did it before D) ensuring fairer distribution of wealth by means other than artificially keeping previously useful jobs around (which is not what the e.g. French Revolution aimed to do).

Pretty sure these are for scientific use, not personal. I mean, just look at it compared to modern hearing aids -- can you imagine trying to lay down with that in your ear? Plus, literally all of the copy I've found so far is about the value it will bring to researchers (/ear-based crypto engineers), not patients
There’s not really anything super innovative but if you have something that is alerting when there are conditions for mold growth it’s much more likely to get addressed in a timely manner. I have a thermometer and hygrometer in my crawl space with a digital readout on my refrigerator to prompt me when the dehu isn’t working or if there’s a water or duct leak, etc.
Most of the increase has been driven by fast-growing Acropora corals, which are hard corals known for their reef-building abilities.

However, AIMS monitoring program team leader Dr Mike Emslie said domination of one species is not ideal.

“These corals are particularly vulnerable to wave damage, like that generated by strong winds and tropical cyclones,” he said.

“They are also highly susceptible to coral bleaching, when water temperatures reach elevated levels, and are the preferred prey for crown-of-thorns starfish.

“This means that large increases in hard coral cover can quickly be negated by disturbances on reefs where Acropora corals predominate.”

The industry already knows how to build electric cars at scale. You can buy one tomorrow if want. Automakers redesign their models every ten years or so already. Plus a lot of the assembles are exactly the same as gasoline cars. Thing structural changes to support the electric motor and battery, that all sheet metal. If there is anything those guys know it's stamping and spot welding sheet metal.

And as I said above the trade publications as opposed to the fish wrap press all show that the transition is something everyone in the industry is planning for. There are something like 17 large battery manufacturing plants planned or being build right now for instance. Just in the US alone.

Following the Hardening Guide link [1] I see that most server configs consist of the same 3 steps:

* Re-generate (and enable) the RSA and ED25519 keys

* Remove small Diffie-Hellman moduli

* Restrict supported key exchange, cipher, and MAC algorithms

As an ignorant of security matters, my obvious question is: if these are such an important thing to configure, why servers don't come with them done by default? There must be thousands of people who don't know about this guide, don't necessarily know a lot about security hardening, and would benefit from more secure defaults.

I get "because compatibility" might be a reason, but that would only maybe apply to the last point, wouldn't it?

For me, I pay for the highest speed because I know I'll never get there. If I paid for a 300mbps line I'd get maybe 10-20. If I pay for a 1.2gbps line guess what? I get about 500mbps. That's definitely more than enough for basically anything I do right now but lowering my speed to the lower tier will mean I'm invariably half way back toward 10mbps.

Remembering / managing multiple margin values is a conversation that I can definitely relate to having about a design system or custom CSS.

For a reset/normalization sheet focused on sane standardized defaults? Seems like we'd be talking about two numbers: whatever vertical margin you want for your block level elements that you'd expect to have margins (most likely 1em) and 0.

Where are the other numbers coming from in the context of a reset?

There is plenty of formatting to be applied to plain text, and which cannot be done manually by author (clang-format, anyone?).

- Wrapping the lines to terminal window width

- Indenting blocks

- _Basic_ formatting (bold, underline - OK, colors - NO)

- Common blocks (like option descriptions) which apply consistent combination of rules above

Everything else should be plain text, just like the the computer code or shell commands.

(There is an interesting question of why is bold text accessible in manpage but not in code.. I think the answer for that is code's equivalent is syntax highlighter. Computer languages are regular enough that we can have computer highlight various syntaxical elements; while human languages are not, so we need to ask manpage authors to highlight them for us)
