Well I mean I do use garlic in about 2 out of every 3 meals.. so there’s mincing at least.

Obviously you can make a sandwich. Or cook a burger. But if you’re eating healthy fresh produce and meats then how are you not cutting things? Maybe like steak and asparagus every night? It’s that or processed food. Or maybe people call warming up pre made foods cooking? I honestly don’t know.

Here’s random recipes I picked from a recipe app.

Mushroom kale risotto (chopping mushrooms, garlic, kale)
Ratatouille penne (celery, red onion, garlic, zucchini, squash)
Gnocchi veg (tomatoes, broclli garlic)
Turkey sweet potato roast (sweet potatoe, garlic, onion, yellow pepper, parsley)
Stuffed pork tenderloin (garlic)
Chicken pasta (chicken, garlic, green onions)

Now if you tell me the average person just makes Mac and cheese, or eats sandwiches, well then I understand. About 42% of Americans are obese, and fast food makes up a significant part of the average American diet. So I guess I’m reading the study as if it’s looking at the “average” person who uses a cutting board cooking, rather than an average American (many who may not even use cutting boards)

So maybe I’m in a bubble cooking these meals, but I’m not sure what actual “cooking” doesn’t do a lot of cutting. Knifes are the chefs primary tools. (watch any cooking show and count how many times knife hits board)

or any similar Shenzhen special. Buy bigger over smaller.

Buy, don't build. There will be a handful of recommendations for the Opulo Lumen/OpenPNP: avoid them. Avoid everything but ballscrew designs: you will spend an annoying amount of time trying to calibrate a belt-driven design and calibration will never stick.

Please, do not make the mistake I did: get something with CL feeders, make this investment. Drag feeders are not good - they are slow and the stylus will violently shake parts out of reels (or you'll spend time calibrating it to try and avoid this issue - don't waste the time.) Get something that can do 0201, even if you don't use it.

Ideally, get something that uses a separate, commodity host machine.

The closest thing i can find is the Los Angeles Fire Department responds "to roughly 800 to 1,000 emergency medical calls each day."
Its low if theyre paying 100k for people with a couple years of experience, but for entry level hardware jobs, 100k is about right.

Ive been looking for almost 5 months for an entry level hardware job (preferably in SF, but willing to relocate anywhere), and 100k is about what Im looking for based on what Ive seen.

Some go as low as 85, and some start at 120, but 100k is pretty standard.

That on its own seems like a very mixed blessing.

On one hand, you never have to worry about money.

On the other hand, you will always have to worry about your money.

Either way, essentially what he seems to be saying is that it wasn't really worth it. After all, $35b isn't really what makes life worth living for most of us.
With the number of people crossing the Darien Gap and the number of new routes that are constantly being open, I can’t help but wonder if one of the routes will eventually be developed enough to turn into an actual road.

Whilst business owners have a financial incentive not to employ people, there are competing incentives. For example, non-owners are incentivised to have more people reporting to them because it increases their status and status is usually correlated with salary. In fact, when you are rich enough that money doesn't mean anything any more, you may as well have a bunch of people employed to do nothing but make you feel important and powerful.
This article is such a load of BS (bar couple of sound points). I particularly love parts where they imply that putting people into hardship (pay less and fire mor) is a potential solution. Those fuckers should just lead by the example rather than getting salaries for spreading lies. Start your own successful business and then you can talk.

You comment was intruiging.

> In general, globally, pre mine arrival local communities get a crapshoot.

Is your comment relating only to the exploring for minerals phase ? Or are you talking about when the mine is actually built.

Generally speaking, royalties (in the case of oil for instance) go to the federal government, still bypassing the local community.

So what is the solution: small royalties that go directly to the mining communities ? Ability for the local community to tax the company ?

> your local community give away 98.5% of $64 billion to people who were allowed to hammer four sticks in the ground and file some paperwork.

These lands are owned by the federal government and not the local community. So the local community is not "giving away" these lands to anyone. Of course, the government has a responsibility to give back a portion of the benefits that are accruing to it (via taxes on profits etc.) to the local communities that live near the mines.

Cosmic has fractional scaling. I'm not sure about XWayland compatibility.

> In Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, you can scale your resolution by 200%, 300%, or 400% to make these elements easier to see. However, you can also toggle the “Fractional Scaling” feature in the Displays settings for access to scaling options in 25% increments (125%, 150%, 175%, etc.). This past month, fractional scaling functionality was implemented into COSMIC DE as well.

This is one of those things I had literally no idea about until I thought “surely you can drive from the US to South America in my 30s” and Googled it! It’s just not a thing we were taught in American schools. The Darién Gap was a major surprise to me. I’ve heard some people have traversed it using motorcycles, which has a fascinating and up to date article about how difficult it is to take a motorcycle to South America if you are bound and determined to go from USA to South America on your hog [0]

Fun fact, the first successful motorcycle crossing took months of planning and multiple failed attempts, back in 1975.

That removes your middle mouse button entirely! (Unreliably due to the use of numbers with xinput, which can change; xinput can take names to avoid that issue). The issue will remain if the primary selection is pasted into a terminal by other means (personally, I use a key combination rather than mouse button) and won't be an issue if clipboard.autocopy is set to false in about:config in Firefox (per torgard's comment).

I've also set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false since I don't want websites messing with the clipboard.

it's much more about the community knowing for sure that something was impossible while also not knowing what they were talking about. each person said it was impossible because they read someone else say it was impossible, which itself started way back early in the project when someone said that any 3D console would be impossible.

this was obviously always possible, but it required someone who wasn't indoctrinated into the community. the community behind a project is always both the very best and very worst thing about any project.
> Who are these people who don't know how to put on pants while sitting on a floor/bed/chair/etc.?

That is a great point about the neologism. If you're sitting down you can put your pants on two legs at a time. However, there's something quite "everyman" about putting your pants on standing up, because you can do it anywhere.

Inside a bathroom? One pants leg at a time. Getting kicked out of someone else's home barely clothed because "someone else" got home? One leg at a time, albeit at a quicker pace. True, putting on pants two legs at a time from a sitting position is ideal, but it is a luxury.
If you spent 30 years struggling, and now everything's running well, do you really step away in the hopes that the next person doesn't immediately bring it crashing down? Because the fastest way to destroy a company is the wrong CEO.
The Darien Gap is a fascinating place.

Pre-pandemic it was a dangerous place with a high risk of running into drug smugglers or just people who might kidnap you. Some would try and cross it on foot and a fair few of those were simply never seen again. The terrain is horrendous. Mud, mountains, many streams and rivers, thick jungle and often torrential rain [1].

Nowadays there are a lot of migrants that cross the Darien Gap. This should tell you something about how truly epsperate they are [2].

No worries. That makes sense to me, about people moving from non-major to non-major cities.

I could see someone wanting to move for the difference in climate alone, honestly. There are a lot of people on Texas subreddits talking about moving after the recent heatwave. It was the most brutal one I've ever been in, having lived here off and on for a few decades. Having said that, it was interesting learning how adaptable the human body is after mentioning how "nice out" it felt once the high temperature started dropping below 100F consistently!

I'm not well-read on it, but I believe the taxes are due if you sell the property. It seems intended to allow people who want to live in their home forever to stay there if they have cash flow issues in retirement. In the event other assets couldn't cover the amount due, the state would get back the tax money from the heirs, if they wanted to keep the home, or sale of the house eventually.

I like your madlib and paint metaphors. IMO that's the most important part of UI/UX, what metaphor can people use to apply their world models to an application that can technically work in infinite ways.

The file/folder metaphor has had fantastic success but it leaves people constrained to hierarchical thinking when databases can actually represent arbitrary graphs, cycles and all. When prototyping my knowledge graph I wanted to build directly on existing filesystems because readdir is fast and cached by the OS, a lot of work done already. But I was stymied by the fact you can't hardlink a directory to multiple directories, because cycles aren't allowed, so I'm stuck with softlinks.

I also weighed the pros and cons of tuples (unnamed associations) and triples (subject verb object, verb being the name of the association) and decided there's utility in having both without too much added conplexity - tuples are just triples with NULL for a verb.

Let me ask you this - architecturally, I'm still weiging building on top of unix filesystems, with git for history/multi-user collab sync VS sqlite and figuring out history/sync later, but take the abstract case of tables with columns: Does it make more sense to have only two tables - one for associating hashes/uuids with strings/buffers and the second table being "left id, right id" for links, or is it worth the added complexity to create a new table for each type - a specified set of named attributes each with specified type, such that when you want to pull up all the metadata on an mp3 file you already know which table to read, instead of doing dozens of reads on the simpler model and then verifying the type ex post facto... would love to know your thoughts on how to structure the graph on disk...

fwiw the tagline for my project is "global media graph of associations, attributes, & annotations"

> “Panama and Colombia are the only neighboring nations on the globe without a single road link of even the most primitive kind.”

It probably doesn't really count, but via OpenStreetMap I found that they have a joint military base that crosses their border.

Everything's airlifted in, but on the photo in this article it looks like they've got at least a couple of ground vehicles there, and presumably tracks crossing the border: https://www.critica.com.pa/sucesos/no-existe-ninguna-base-mi...

More surprising to me is that on the Atlantic coast there's small towns on either side of the border seemingly without a road connection to other adjacent towns in their respective countries, as well as no cross-border connection (but there's a short hiking route): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/8.6626/-77.3683

So it's not only an issue of crossing the swampland of the greater gap itself, but also the general underdevelopment of these countries.

Hypothetically, if she figured out how to automate it on her own, would she get any kind of reward for it? If not, why should she automate it?

Why are you saying the word "generally" when you know, or should know, that the specific person is Jensen Huang, whose biography you could easily look up [1]?

It makes no sense to say "It's much easier to go from rich to super rich than it is to go from poor to super rich" when you're talking about someone who obviously grew up poor -- except to make a pet point that is completely inapplicable to the subject at hand.

It's fine to want to make it but I think you'd get more mileage from that point if you placed it in a discussion about a more applicable subject personality.

> California is very expensive for what you get

California is crazy expensive. Often I look for alternatives. What would be a good alternative?

Just with that criteria I ruled out most of the country.

But then add the requirement of having good jobs. So what's left?

So, here I remain in California.
That exactly at that hacked framework example that I closed the tab.
I question the article's framing of CPUs as "universal" and GPUs as "specialized". In theory, they can both do any computation, so they differ only in their performance characteristics, and the deep learning revolution has shown that there is wide range of practical workloads that is non-viable on CPUs. The reason OpenAI runs GPT-4 on GPUs isn't that it's faster than running it on CPUs--they do it because they _can't_ practically run GPT-4 on CPUs.

So what's going on is not a shift away from the universality of CPUs, but a realization that CPUs weren't as universal as we thought. It would be nice though if a single processor could achieve the best of both worlds.
