> Am I understanding you correctly that the police staff themselves use illegal or obscured plates on their private vehicles which they park

Yes[1].

Nope, they park illegally on the sidewalk instead[2]. This includes on blocks with public schools[3].

> with no consequences whatsoever? If so this is insane.

Yes, and yes.

Edit: I forgot to mention: documenting any of this comes with a risk of fines or arrest[4]. You will also be ignored if you attempt to report it[5].

I think DEC's strong trend line of NIH (almost as strong as IBM) almost certainly dooms a PC-PDP - IBM only made the PC by effectively creating a skunkworks within the company that was focused solely on 'go to market' compared to the normal IBM development process. I dont know if DEC could or would have done that.
Some stations send out traffic and weather images (as well as album art and station logos). The files can be dumped to disk using nrsc5's "--dump-aas-files" option. A few people have built GUIs that display the information in a more convenient way:

Are you reading by opening up to page 1 and reading through to the end? Don't do that. I know, I know, spoilers, but unless you're reading mysteries, it's not a big deal. The best fiction isn't just the ending. Everyone knows Captain Ahab dies at the end of Moby Dick, but that doesn't spoil anything.

So, read the first chapter. Read the beginning and end of the rest of the chapters – a few paragraphs, a page, something. Read the last chapter.

Analyze the story: make a list of characters and their relationships to each other. If there are people related to each other, make a family tree. Consider the locations: map them out, especially if they reference real world locations. Get a feel for how the story moves through the world. Tolkien's books are famous for including the family trees of his characters, timelines, and world maps. Do that.

Try reading a novel that's been made into a good film. Follow along reading and comparing the film adaptation to the novel. Something like C. S. Forester's book The African Queen and the 1951 film directed by John Huston.

Pick a novel that riffs on subjects you're already into. Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar involves psychology as a major plot element, as do One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Requiem for a Dream. All three have been adapted into excellent films.
This syndrome is common, but 50 hours is unusually long.

Yeah - the original point was about a reduction in total energy demand, not electricity demand.

> Here it is you who are taking agency away from ADHD-ers.

What do you mean? All the mechanisms you've listed can be ways to help, yes, but you still can't just decide to do those things. You can try to reformat it or place it in some other context where it becomes doable, but these are specific coping mechanisms that shouldn't always be necessary, like they are for someone with severe enough ADHD.

I apologize for implying that all ADHD is that severe, I'll see if I can edit it to be more clear there, but I'm not trying to take agency away; I'm trying to point out how it results in that "time dyslexia", and why it's a disorder (rather than just, say, laziness).
Edit: based on interaction elsewhere in this thread, it seems I and LoganDark agree very much. I don't have time to rewrite this now, the compile finished a few minutes ago already, so just keep in mind that I and LoganDark seems to agree to a large degree when you read this.

----------------

There are the medical definitions, and there are the things you understand when you have friends and family with ADHD and you hear them describe it.

Yes, executive function is the problem.

Also yes, thanks partially to that and frequent comorbidities ADHD-ers also experience:

- time blindness (maybe because flow is so much more important to ADHD-ers that they have learned to hold to it at all cost?)

- on average fewer slots in short time memory (I don't know it this is in DSM, but it is well known)

- anxiety and depression

- etc

Every doctor I have spoken to is well aware that ADHD has many problems in addition to the ones stated in the diagnostic criterias.
The point I was trying to make was that certain NLP models (maybe these LLMs as well) might give better results if YOU speak to them as a middle aged white man.

To be very clear, I want ALL queries (I presume you mean LLM prompts) to be available to everyone.

Could you also explain what do you mean by people like me? Indians? NLP researchers? People in their thirties? Expatriates?
Not that the authors were necessarily doing this, but I think that simply attempting to associate misinformation vulnerability with mental illness really misses the whole point.

Fake news rewards a belief choice that healthy people indulge in every day.

While not wanting to get too into a religious debate, I think that religion teaches us that belief does not require evidence, but reward. I saw a video of someone making an elaborate orange juice for church. Price of admission- if you want that orange juice and spend time with 100 friendly people, is that you have to assent to a belief system.

This effectively teaches individuals that, if an organization can create an "Atmosphere of Plausibility" or "Illusion of Consensus", then the individual has permission to enter the tribe by accepting a belief. From there, an "us versus the world" bond is established, and outside groups/nonbelievers who want to "destroy the bond" or "destroy the group" are considered hostile.

This relates to fake news because we are trained that a belief requires minimal evidence as long as the social opportunities it affords are substantial. In fact, the greater the leap of defiance against evidence, demonization of "experts", etc, the more that a tribal bond is reinforced.

Since I've already crossed a line by discussing religion, I'll refrain from addressing politics aside from saying that this theory of "Belief Bonding" seems to fit with some paradoxes in American Politics quite well.

Ask HN: How can I let go of a relationship that ended long before it even began?
We've known each other for a long time; he was my elementary school classmate. Later, we went our separate ways, but in high school, we became classmates again. He loved me a lot at that time, but I didn't feel the same way, so we never got together. As we grew older, I got married, but I often dream about him and feel regret that we never ended up together.
AWS has (or had) a weekly 2-hour operational status meeting. It has over 200 people in it, a mix of distinguished and principal engineers, very senior managers, etc. That meeting easily crossed the $100k-per-pop threshold. Worth it, though, that was actually a pretty great institution.

I'm not 100% sure. A lot of work is being done on Ladybird, but a lot of money is coming from sponsorships specifically for Ladybird as well.

When it comes to direct contributions to the project, I'm pretty sure only Andreas is working fulltime on generic SerenityOS+ projects. He recently made a series of videos about adding a JIT to Javascript which I found to be quite a typical SerenityOS style diversion, like Jakt had been for a while before that.

However, that's just the stuff you find on Youtube. The project itself is receiving commits all over the place: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/commits/master

Most of the OS advancements have stopped coming from Andreas for a while now, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a very active community working on SerenityOS and the various applications and subsystems within it. The steady stream of commits just isn't as visible and doesn't provide as much progress as three full-time programmers working on the browser does.

Unfortunately, a lot of the work that gets committed to SerenityOS seems to be the result of whatever video Andreas published last. I do hope Andreas switches back to SerenityOS work soon, but I imagine it'll be hard for him to drop such a cool and interesting project.

The UCMJ doesn't authorize "perverse legal punishments" and servicemembers still fall under the Constitution. Come on. You can make a point about how this is bad policy without resorting to adolescent hyperbole.
Kinda missing the forest for the trees here. What I’m driving at is that New Zealand and the United States are not easily comparable and just because New Zealand is doing a thing it does not follow that the United States also shall successfully pursue and accomplish the same policy objectives. Even a straight comparison between Australia and New Zealand is difficult and both their system of government and their banking system are closer in form with each other than with the United States, and there's a lot fewer people in a lot fewer places to just straight up disagree and subvert the efforts and policy objectives of the Federal Government, no matter what they may be. If a Presidential candidate ever did make it a platform issue, you could probably expect his opponents to take the opposite approach.

What the United States lacks is the kind of central control that a Westminster-style of government can exercise, even over cash money and checks, and there are a lot more institutions with some say over the continued prevalence of cash so even as its usage declines it is unlikely to completely disappear even in our lifetimes. Even if Chase stops giving their customers checkbooks, it doesn’t mean M&T will, and even if M&T does, it doesn’t mean there won’t be a bank that makes it a point to offer free checkbooks as a value add to small business owners that want to continue issuing paper checks to their employees. The form money takes here tends to be additive, and it is rare for a system to ever completely disappear. I mean next on the chopping block is probably Zelle followed by ACH of all things now that we have FedNow, and even that’s not necessarily going to happen.

I got onto the Internet in the 1992 you mention at university.

It was easy to describe - a way for humans and computers to communicate. For me it was 99% Newsgroups and FTP. [1]. People shrug and move on. Most don't get it. It's years later that it's commercially available, with software built into the OS (win 95). And then it was using the Web, NNTP and FTP are more-or-less obsolete now.

But the Internet is still the same - a way for humans and computers to communicate with each other.

[1] I downloaded world data via FTP from the CIA, and someone at JPL answered a newsgroup post I wrote. Mind literally blown.
These are not technically "comments inside the regexes", that would be something like the "Delete (most) C comments." regex here: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre#/x-and-/xx

Here, instead, they've used string juxtaposition cleverly to write comments between parts of the regex/string. It effectively serves the same purpose though.
I was imprisoned on false charges and tortured by the United States government. A precedent-setting appeal freed me, but not before I spent a long time in solitary confinement, much of that on a hunger strike.

Solitary confinement causes brain damage so severe it is visible on a CT scan. The area that it damages is the hippocampus, which is key of in the perception of time and spatial memory. I can still perceive time on an immediate basis, in terms of music and speech, but a year goes by in a haze. Short seconds, like walking into another room, seem to pass slowly against the rapid progress of my thoughts which are now unanchored to the immediate physical realm and I forget what I went to the other room for if there's not a persistent reminder such as hunger or the need to use the toilet to remind me. I write what I plan to do into a notes app before I move anywhere, even one room over in my own house. Living a normal life has become impossible.
Random question,

Do all of you have ADHD? If not, that would be... Surprisingly I guess but also kind of hopeful.
>Seems all major news sources are compromised by governments or intelligence agencies in order to push their agendas.

The China in the western news and the China I know in real life are completely different. In the news, China is always framed as evil - always up to no good. In real life, it's just a freaking country where life is peaceful, stable, things are improving, people are getting wealthier, society is improving.

Also, most Americans believe that China has the same anti-American propaganda in Chinese society. This is wrong. Most normal Chinese people I've met over the last 2-3 years don't have the same "hate" for Americans as Americans have for the Chinese. Chinese people understand that it's just political, two countries fighting for resources. It's not very personal to them. However, Americans have a real "hate" for the Chinese through relentless anti-China propaganda in the news and Americans see it as much more personal based on my experience.

Americans just assume that the Chinese hate them as much as they hate the Chinese because of how much anti-China is in the media. Therefore, they believe that the Chinese must have the same or higher levels of anti-American in their media.

Propaganda is powerful. Don't ever tell me America has free press. It doesn't. Not on the national scale.
There’s a whole lot of spectrum between what GP’s parent is suggesting and communism. In fact, no one even brought up communism until the parent’s fairly vapid Marx quote. Is that the one that made you vomit?
To back up your point: [half the population of Australia](https://i.imgur.com/dA92oJp.png), marked in red.

That said, I think this misses the parent comment's point: Australia has a bunch more empty land than Europe. Which is true but not that important, as Europe has plenty of land to build renewables on, and quite often the reason for "lack of land" in Europe is political, not geographic - Germany is a particularly famous example, with absurdly restrictive zoning restrictions on wind turbines, based on pseudoscience.

>People used to literally pay to have their own website in order to get their ideas out there.

Somewhat; at first, this was the case, though I'd say many of them were simply using their university's computer resources. Later on, banner ads happened and then we had sites like Tripod, where people could build their own simple website and not pay anything for it. Somehow, these sites did just fine (for a while) by hosting banner ads. These days, somehow it supposedly costs a small fortune to run a simple website even though computers are FAR more powerful than they were in 1999 and computer hardware generally costs much less.

How much does it actually improve? E.g. if it's about having the driver understand the state of the device when coming back from suspend more closely, then I can see how theoretically that might be better - and I can also see how a cruder model with a less detailed interface might end up with higher reliability in practice (at the cost of being notionally slower to wake up and doing more reinitialisation etc. - but that might still end up being a good tradeoff).

That is the big question, isn't it? We don't know enough about time to say. It is as philosophically plausible as any other idea that any particular thread of consciousness wends on infinitely in its own personal timeline, watching everything else decay and disappear until it is the last thing left. It is so implausible that the universe even exists for our statistical impossibility of self to have happened, it would be a bit of a chuckle if there was a third impossibility in the future.
This may sound crazy, but play it out? Write it down, type it out, or even get a private roleplaying LLM to chat it out with you.

Typing out or roleplaying very private past regrets (and not relationships in particular) has been quite therapeutic for me. Its kinda what got me into LLMs, as they are like a extension of your brain to bounce ideas off of.
In addition to files, some stations also send out "stream" and "packet" data. There is ongoing work to reverse engineer the formats. See the discussion here for details: https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5/pull/308
They don't need to make a living. They're already making a living by doing some other job, probably a boring job. They're writing because they enjoy writing, and there might be a financial payoff, but it's certainly not something they're banking on. It's just like aspiring actors; they work as restaurant servers to make a living, hoping to become a big star. It's not really a good career move; if you want a low-risk high-paycheck career, you do something unglamorous and boring, like writing software, or some other office job that requires a college degree.
Do you mean all of my dissociative identities? The answer is yes. DID can result in individual identities having different access to certain parts of the brain (for example, certain identities could have aphantasia while others have vivid imaginations), but as far as I'm aware, ADHD is a problem with the brain's reward system itself (the one that has to do with dopamine), so it affects the entire brain function, no matter which part.

However, I've been in situations where different identities can do things that I can't (i.e. switch in order to get out of bed in the morning), so I don't think anything is necessarily set in stone...
