This is more anime territory but Cowboy Bebop is another recent one that was butchered. Had cool visuals but changed... idk. I'm not flatly against changing but hopefully in a good direction or stick to it... which may be boring too/nothing new just live people.

Apologies, but it's already been exhausting enough reducing all your confusion. The study answers your question if you read it.
Banning sites that share books. I guess they have already addressed all the illegal pornography, music, pirated soccer games, terrorism, offshore gambling, harrassment, credit card fraud, antiseminitism, homophobia, body shaming, fake news, doxing, zero day sales, and every other great evil on the internet. It has been a long journey, but now that all those are dealt with, we can now crack down on people wanting to read too many books.

It seems to be a local branch culture thing. You see it with USPS offices too.

Some are amazing, mail is delivered perfectly, etc.

Others cannot for the life of them match number to address, and it doesn't seem to matter who is delivering as the attitude spreads across the office.

I think a huge part of this is missing actionable feedback messages.

If USPS/UPS/FedEx had better channels for "my mail was screwed up" reporting, to a granularity necessary to isolate bad branches, I think things would clean themselves up.

As-is, customers learn to live with it and the mothership is unaware the branch is screwing up.
Badger Swarm: New Project Helps Privacy Badger Block Ever More Trackers
Agree, and furthermore, the tech to detect these large point leaks is very available to those who care. Unlike diffuse sources, these concentrated leaks show up readily to ground, airborne or remote sensing instruments.
That's nice, but all of those features, such as usernames, make me understand how Telegram was so well-planned from scratch. Everybody has been catching up since. Telegram is really an impressive piece of software.
> could be done simply and via local network

This is fairly complicated to do locally and securely. If any e-commerce website/app could add tracking numbers as PINs to your smart lock via the local network, that would be a security nightmare. You'd also have to provision domains for every smart lock so that every lock can get Let's Encrypt certs and accept requests from web browsers without configuration. Not to mention most tracking numbers are easily guessable because they consist of a destination code and an auto-increment integer.

Also a lot of companies don't assign a tracking number until the package gets transferred to the last mile carrier. Again, if you're willing to manually copy-paste the tracking number after you get the shipping notification every single time you order something, you're clearly not part of the target demographic
It’s been a while since I read it, but if I recall correctly the first book is told from the perspective of living inside the compounds, and the later books tell the story from people outside the compounds.

The corporations and large entities are not really defensible given that one of the plot points in Oryx and Crake is creating a sentient species to showcase genetic options for sale to parents, and another is the creation of a designer drug for those outside the wall with a secret side effect of sterility to address population concerns.

The entire story is told retrospectively from a post civilization world ruined by over extraction and commercialism. I don’t think it really falls into “millennial doomerism” since it was published in 2003 which is when I think we were still in the “gen x nihilism” phase of generational griping.

What is some distro that's closest to Ubuntu in terms of setup but doesn't force snaps and stupid regressions like this, while having good package repos? Thinking about wiping it off my laptop because it looks like I would be burned by jumping early into 23.10
I've always wondered why Common Lisp has so many algorithmic composition applications. In addition to Opusmodus, Common Music, and Common Lisp Music, which were mentioned elsewhere ITT, there's also Open Music (http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/home) and Incudine (https://incudine.sourceforge.net/), and then of course there's some SuperCollider client stuff. it feels like such a niche within a niche to write algorithmic composition software (something that requires an intersection of some very specific skills and knowledge) in a language like CL that hardly anyone knows, but I'm glad it exists even if I can't personally make use of the one that most interests me (Open Music) because of LispWorks.
> while on Mac of course home and end doesn't exist

They most certainly do.

On extended keyboards, Home and End are dedicated keys. Home scrolls to the start of the document; End scrolls to the end.

On laptops and other reduced keyboards, Fn-left arrow gets you the Home key, and Fn-right arrow gets you the End key.

I don't know when you last used Mac, but Cmd-left and Cmd-right have been consistent at least within apps that use Apple's guidelines for many years.

It's important to remember that your expectations for how these things should work are not based on some universal Platonic ideal, but rather on how Windows did things, so when Apple does them differently, that's not some objectively heinous violation, but rather a different decision based on different preferences.
Sounds like a call for them to partner with Venminder or a similar business to manage all your SaaS from a contractual perspective, as well as some CASB (cloud access security broker) to handle onboarding, offboarding, and governance of an org's SaaS inventory. Legit problem, but SaaS isn't going away.

Dell "almost" got it with their c series, where they had like 4 compute in a 2u box, so you can run 8 CPUs in 2u with like 12 or 16 slots of ram per compute, but they increased the pricing so much they aren't worth it anymore.

Elon Musk is the opposite of a huge bureaucracy.
I expect it's probably cached in some downstream sub-contractor's system.

Ergo, both things can be true: Amazon cleared it on their side (customer support sees it cleared) and the delivery drivers still see it (using the subcontractor's system).

Probably because nobody at the sub-contractor's (outsourced) IT/system saw fit to implement a "As a customer, I want to change my note after initially setting it" user story.
LogSeg – Python logger designed for Multiprocessing
I didn't mean to assign a value judgement to this -- maybe I can phrase it better. It's not that the "local" people don't want to do certain jobs, it's that the capital owners are not willing to pay fair wages for labour, and then only people who are desperate enough (poor immigrants) end up doing do these jobs.

I'd love to hear some examples where this has caused technological stagnation and blocked skilled migration -- US and Canada provide solid counter-examples to these claims. Both countries take in immigrants at both ends of the economic spectrum, from coveted H1B high-paying tech jobs, to seasonal farm workers who exist in slavery-like circumstances. Both countries show significant, sustained technological innovation.

I agree this is destructive to the social fabric, and it separates us into strata. But I have a hard time believing that immigration is the cause; a simpler explanation would interpret it as one of the symptoms, with the underlying causes being closely related to the relentless transfer of wealth to an ever-shrinking "elite".
Fair enough. I got confused because you mentioned Amazon Lockers, which to my understanding, are the proper brand name of the kind of parcel lockers I mentioned, as deployed by Amazon.

I agree that per-household lockers are... tricky at best. But then, if we're talking homes, and thus presumably lawns in front of them, I wonder what are the difficulties of selling a multi-slot locker that would be bolted down to the ground (or perhaps a bunch of concrete filling a hole in the ground), and thus as easy to steal as a thick fence post or an ATM? Is this too expensive for homeowners?

Isn't anyone capable of building their own models technically sophisticated enough to get around basically any normal anti-piracy measure? Or for that matter has already downloaded all the books?
I'm torn on this. On the one hand, I really dislike when my developers behave as if their job is done as soon as the code is written and that all that's left to do is to "throw it over the wall" to QA and Ops. But that is perhaps my more general view that developers who understand how their code actually runs and how it's tested, generally do a better job and are more valuable. On the other hand, I do feel that the notion of shift left, taken to an extreme, leads to the undervaluation of specialized QA roles. QA professionals have a specific set of skills focused on testing, finding bugs, and ensuring the usability of software. If you distribute these responsibilities among developers, who may not have the same level of expertise in testing, there's a risk that the quality of the software could decline. As other comments here have mentioned, just as DevSecOps requires developers to integrate security into the development process, shift left ends up meaning a demand for a really broad skill set from developers, including expertise in testing and quality assurance. And it's pretty difficult for professionals to maintain a high level of expertise across multiple disciplines. I mean...specialization exists for a reason; it allows professionals to hone their skills in a specific area, ultimately leading to better outcomes (hopefully? usually?). So "shift left" aims to streamline the development process and integrate quality from the start, but it can inadvertently marginalize QA expertise and overburden developers, potentially compromising quality and security. I do think management often has no idea how many different specialties and expertise there are within engineering. They often conflate it all since it's just "engineering". The amount of expertise devs are expected to know these days has gotten kind of absurd.

Someone else said they put a sign requesting not to ring the doorbell. No, that doesn't work. My solution was to adhere a plastic cover to my doorbell so people can no longer press the button. Problem solved - mostly.. doesn't stop people from squeezing the plastic cover lol.
One of the articles on this mentioned "ratgdo" as a simple board to do most of the "make a button wirelessly available to homeassistant", I haven't tried it but searching on it gets you a lot of reasonably specific articles and videos.

It should be dumped into a trust fund, an endowment that will fund some low level SETI in perpetuity. The goal should be to free SETI from having to worry about funding from one year to the next. Funding such projects needs to be measured in decades, not dollars.

Why did that civil war happen? Was it part of the Cold War perhaps? Who did they fight in that civil war? How did it start?

If you’re gonna try to imply simply having Palestinians present caused that civil war, you should provide some actual facts to support it.

And once again, the leaders might screw them over to appease the US and Israel, but the Arab and Muslim communities overwhelmingly do support them.

That's absolutely false. Arabs in Israel do not have the same rights as Israeli Jews and I'm not talking about Palestinians.
So it looks like it is around $100M for a Falcon Heavy launch. What kind of satellite can be built for $100M?

As the other poster said, you may have been hit by pending changes protection on the pages you were hitting, which is applied to the page and not to your account.

It actually was true in benchmarks, but Mac OS was in such a bad state at the time that it didn't really matter. It didn't even have real multitasking!

Right what we need is a requirements.yaml (better yet, create an entirely new markup language for this particular project) and another new package manager for it. One day (one day!) I will start a project without python. One can hope.
This is almost certainly just delegating to Google Lens, which indeed works great.

Bard's probably just a middle man here.
Debian. Ubuntu has always just been downstream of Debian, patching things that were annoying at the intersection of proprietary and open source.

We're at a relative nadir of that gap at the moment, so Debian is definitely the way to go.
Risk does not necessarily mean financial risk. There's a lot more being risked doing a startup than cash, and those things should be pretty obvious, though maybe not everyone sees them as risks. I can think of a few and I've never done a startup. Reputation, mental health, credibility, friends and business associates, future job prospects, legal risks, etc. Fuck up a startup bad enough and even if you have millions in the bank you could have lost all of the things I just listed.
Maybe instead the solution should be moving away from Windows. Almost all the issues described in the article (and I would argue with most language packaging systems) is due Windows being such a pain to develop on. I'd argue it's going to be easier to convert all scientific users to Linux than rewrite all scientific code in a different language. (no I'm not seriously suggesting all Windows users abandon it, I'm just replying to someone who suggests to ditch the language which has the largest scientific codebase by likely several orders of magnitude)
Dude you just replied to a comment about Amazon Lockers, one of many locker services that do exactly what you described in the US. If you combine all the companies (I dunno why you would), there's a lot more than 10 per 5 minute walk in a city
You aren't limited to the books (or other media) that your public library has on hand. You can use your local library to check out books from just about any other library in the US (and many internationally). Ask them about inter-library loan and how to use it.

It's an incredible resource.
Doesn't this also apply, say, to certificates on government websites?

AI is already considerably more knowledgeable and easier to communicate with than the customer service representatives I interact with day to day. Interacting with an API through ChatGPT, I would have a lot more faith that my inquiry would be solved given the tools available at that customer service tier.

It's only been three years since AI Dungeon opened my mind to how powerful generative AI could be, and GPT-4 blows that out of the water. Whatever gets released three more years from now will likely blow GPT-4 out of the water.

AI is already considerably smarter than the dumbest humans, in terms of its ability to hold a conversation in natural language and make arguments based on fact. It's only a matter of time before it's smarter than the average human, and at the current pace, that time will arrive within the next decade.

All useful technology improves over time, and I see no reason to believe AI will be any different.
I last wrote about the wild ride wifi took us all on back in 2010. But I had a huge flashback just now, of sitting on my roof, in the rain, in 1998,after re-aligning our antenna - and wondering where would wireless go, and how much fun we had had, in that project.
No suggestions on who unfortunately. A potential methodology is establishing a living trust, funding it with all of your wealth, a pour-over will to clean up anything you missed, and assign the beneficiaries accordingly based on your post life wishes (you should be able to trivially get SpaceX, Blue Origin, etcs EIN/taxpayer ID, although you would want to speak with someone at those orgs so they know your plan and someone can admin whatever is sent their way). Same as you would with charitable bequests as part of your estate, directed towards charities and non profits.

Not an attorney, not your attorney, speak with one for estate planning purposes. Hope this helps!
But nobody uses industrial chemicals and processes at home. That said, I would consider refined sugar as ultraprocessed, and homemade jam includes a lot of it.
This is pretty compelling. Why isn't it in the "recommended" preset of lints?

In general, I find it frustrating that the eslint recommended presets don't document why they are recommended. I disable several of the rules in all my projects because they seem to be arbitrary stylistic choices (e.g. [0], [1], [2]).

[edit] In looking up no-empty-function, I saw a stack overflow post that provides a compelling alternative of using `() => undefined` instead of `() => {}`, which suppresses the error. That should be shown as an example on the eslint page!
Can you imagine if holocaust museums didn't exist? If Auschwitz was paved over and it was illegal to talk about it?
> Have gains not been accounting tricks since the 90s?

Quite possibly. I only thought this through wrt. software, as this is my field, but the overall method seems universal: turn concentrated work into disperse work, and throw it over the organizational boundary, so it looks like you've made the costs go away.

I can speak to the food noise.

I hit my 30's, and became a dad, I lost my ability to run as much as I did. Now a decade later that's changed. But in that time I gained a lot of weight. I started running again. I'm a distance type of runner so I'm talking 6-15km a day, 6-7 days a week.

With that out of the way. After doing that for 6 months I was wondering WHY am I not losing weight? Like basically nothing. I counted every calorie, kept myself in a caloric deficit, used a TDEE spreadsheet to keep readjusting my daily caloric needs. Nothing was working.

Went to the doctor, he did blood work, it was all pretty much normal for someone obese. He asked me how hungry I am. I said I'm constantly hungry and it's just willpower alone that keeps me from eating, unless I had a drink, so I usually refused to drink.

I was put on Ozempic/Wegovy.

Pretty much two weeks later, I stopped thinking about food. Gone. Just gone. Before I would wake, and I'd be planning every meal.. when, what. How much, etc. If anything got in the way of a meal, I would be super irate. I was counting down seconds... Every single thought in my head was food.

Now gone.

I sometimes forget to eat.

So yeah. Food noise is real, and it suuuucks.

Side note: the weight loss helped my running a lot! And the weight loss seems to have stalled... But I don't care. I'm just happy to have this extra energy from not thinking about food every second of every day. :)
Not the United States. It's looking to pick up 40 million more people in the next 30 years.
Graham Hancock is mentioned in the acknowledgments at the end of the article, for describing the site in the Netflix show. In fact, I for one learned about the site by watching the Netflix show.
The show is a collection of archeological sites around the world, and a theory about what happened before the younger dryas. I don’t care about the theory, but I do find the archeological sites very interesting. They shouldn't be dismissed because the theory is possibly (probably) wrong.
The sites located in the US are especially interesting: I couldn’t help wondering why they aren't more well known and publicized.
Much more efficient to bomb also (2023 was a real eye opener).
I'm not arguing that the system must not have bugs, really - you are right there. I'm arguing that since everyone knows it does, then the system must provide for that. That is, the institution that we are buying the service from needs to be able to sort things out when it happens. Here we have abundant examples where they have no plan to even notice anything. - And that then they should not be surprised when we are desperate to find a better institution that is not THEM.
I agree that Telegram is an impressive piece of software, but it does not offer E2EE by default and the encryption model has been criticized in the past. Still, it is the best chat app in wide use anywhere in the world and this is a great achievement. Among other things, the client is open source and they don't ban unofficial clients, and they don't restrict you to a certain number of devices like some much worse apps. The channels is also a nice innovation, and Telegram has seemingly remained reasonably unwilling to comply on government encroachment (used by both sides in the Russo-Ukrainian war without too much suspicion). This is probably as well as a centralized chat app can ever do.
