> Another such example is polygamy, which mostly results in polygyny because of biological preferences.

I have about 10yr of exposure to friend groups with nonmonogamous lifestyles, and it’s by a long shot the women who are having multiple regular partners and the men who have an occasional fling. And I find just as many women as men choose to adopt that kind of lifestyle. Obviously there are exceptions, but this has been an extremely stable general trend I’ve observed. This is of course caveated by having a small sample size.

That said I think the trope that women only want one sexual partner while men want many is—in my experience—nothing more than that: an outdated, overused trope.

I’d love to see some actual numbers. But what numbers I have seen seem to be easily skewed by the reality that it’s more socially acceptable for men to have more partners (though that stigma is quickly changing).
Sounds similar to CoreAnimation or DirectComposition.
> The reverse problem of fertility vs sex difference in age preference exists in some African countries, where the fertility rate is very high. Which means there are more young people, which means some fraction of young women will not find a partner.

Maybe I’m dumb. I don’t understand how young women will have trouble finding a partner.
About a decade ago, within my circle of amateur musicians, it was considered nearly impossible to achieve an ‘acoustic’ sound using a completely digital loop. The simplest method found to enhance the quality of a synthetic sound was to play it through a speaker and then capture it using a microphone.
Huh, I've never heard of "three-point lighting", but accidentally stumbled into the practice.

My office is in a spare bedroom, where the East wall is my desk with 1500 lumens of bias lighting behind my monitor, the South wall is a TV with 2900 lumens of bias lighting and the North wall is a big window where I've put a 1600 lumen lightstrip on top of the holder of the shade, pointing upwards.

I run it all (Hue lights) at 6500K during the daytime while I'm working, find it to be plenty of light, and I can't see any of the actual bulbs as points of glare.
What is the rationale for prosecuting someone who has AI produced CSAM that isn't based off a real person?

The rationale used so far has been that it creates a market for production and revictimized the children. If this is not the case, what are we prosecuting people for exactly?

> Oh except for the fact that the actual reason they didn't need to hire was because they have outsourced all the hardware management.

Actually, they hired someone to do the unboxing and then it's over. They didn't say why they did that (maybe their colo's were out of town). Having done it myself it's a case unbox it, plug in the network and power cables. The only remaining step is make the Dell iDRAC IP appear on some VPN, but that VPN is usually what's on the other end of the ethernet cable they plugged in. The iDRAC allows remote control of the BIOS, power and reset switches, and download a boot image (think KVM switch on steroids). (Other manufacturers have other systems that do the same thing. Intel has their management engine for instance.) Once you can connect to the iDRAC's IP Address it may as well be sitting on the floor beside you.

Hardware management will happen in 5 years, but until that time it's a case of "if it breaks it's Dell's problem - they go to the site and fix it". In the mean time they have to migrate stuff off that box, but business as usual in a web environment and is done that remotely. If the machine has to be replaced, Dell will re-attach cables. You probably won't need more than that because

As for sysadmin'ing, there are lots of tenancy out there like proxymox and vmware. Once that's running it looks like lots of EC2 instances. From there it's like sysadmin'ing any 'nix installation, but without all the proprietary interfaces.

The problem is both (and more) are true. Public outcry is a significant effect. Cost is a significant effect. Over regulation is a significant effect.

Worse, these are coupled. The result is often that people say x -> y! And stop there. But it's not an acrylic graph so narrow views don't work and simply trap us in this circular argument we've had for 40 years now (not unique to nuclear either). Truth is public outcry influences regulation which influences cost which influences outcry and so on and on. There is no root to point to as the start and there are arguments you can make about any of these being the start because influence doesn't mean sole contributing factor. As an example, you can argue cost is related to regulation and even that lack of innovation have been "caused" by public outcry (or claim regulatory costs/lack of innovation are confounders). Certainly it is a causal variable, but multiple causal variables can contribute to something. Truth is there are unique costs to nuclear independent of regulatory concerns. There's a reason you'll find far more physicists actively managing a nuclear power plant than a wind farm. There's also different dangers and uniquely there are proliferation concerns which do impose unique regulation. Can all this be better optimized? Certainly! But we can never do that if we are just going to endlessly have these circular arguments.

I know the weeds and details often don't matter for many subject matters (actually I think this is naive) but can we at least admit that nuclear power is at least a little bit complicated? And that there's a unique history? And that any opinion that is not formed through years of schooling and experience in the field is de facto naive? No matter how many youtube videos or articles you read from science communicators and even if you have a degree in physics because there's more to the problem that simply nuclear physics?

Most importantly, can we also admit that it's perfectly okay to have naive opinions? Literally nothing wrong with them unless high confidence is placed in those opinions. We're all smart people here, right?[0] So we recognize that the modern world is built via specialization and no person can really be an expert in all things, and realistically only in a few? Fuck man, I think one of the great filters is when a species gets to the point where approximate/naive solutions are no longer effective and they just fucking kill themselves because evolutionary pressure makes these solutions incredibly effective in the beginning but makes those same species ill equipped once a certain level of complexity is reached. I just wonder if we're intelligent enough to overcome these limitations in more than narrow settings (sure, you're smart in x, but are you okay being dumb at y?). Certainly the capacity exists.

[0] If we all know what you're (ambiguous) going to comment in response to this line, are you proving you're "better" or demonstrating your lack of intelligence? Please, just don't. Respond to something more substantial.
Please note that hosting a publicly accessible server in your room at home is specifically prohibited by some employers in heavily regulated industries, and if found, this may result in a large fine (enough to cover the company security re-audit cost) and termination. They even prohibit having a public IP on the router, having IPv6 support, having firmware other than the manufacturer-supplied one, and even having access to the router (i.e., it's the manufacturer and the ISP who should be responsible for security updates, for ensuring that there is absolutely no way for attackers to enter the home network by means of routing, and for the fact that you cannot screw that up).

Having a server for your own use from within the home network is fine.
I'm just kind of spitballing this but:

Depending on when the pipe is laid (and sometimes you don't have a choice) if the clay is dry and then gets wet and expands it could crack the pipe. A cracked interior will always spread.

Clay, when dry, is rigid and I would think if the earth moves it's probably going to shove the pipe rather than move around it. That'd probably cause the pipe to either fracture or dislodge.

Even if none of the above happens that means that if they pipe does develop a defect for something more common (eg: a tree root intruding) then the running water will be split. It'd cause the clay on the bottom part of the pipe to begin to wash away either back into the pipe or it'll find porous material to seep through eventually eroding the structural support of the pipe. I've seen situations like this that basically create mini cave systems and the surface of the earth will appear in-tact until something heavy drives over it.

That said, I never worked in Atlanta so I'm not familiar with what defects or the infrastructure look like there.
As an infrastructure engineer who spends all day in Go and Bash and AWS I gotta say I’m a huge fan of Tailwind. This looks worth buying too. People are blown away by my front end skills, baby I’m just letting Copilot and Tailwind whisper sweet anodyne nothings into my ear. Keep me as far away from design as you can; this helps!
I wish it wasn't tied to React. I'm unsure if this can be used headless?

My reply was to this suggestion:

> Why not attach them to the bottom and have the setting machine underneath?
I could argue that every mechanical thing will eventually fail, requiring a repair or a redesign and rebuilding. By that argument, every physical thing is technical debt.

The reality is that some things we use are joys to use, and other things are problems that we have to keep patching. Some cars are fantastic, good-performing, reliable tools that get the jobs done. Others are constantly breaking down and just might make it, sputtering, over the next hill.

I wonder how hard it would be to get major religions to endorse the concept that engineers who build useful, reliable, loved things are rewarded in the afterlife, while those who create things we all hate will be punished in the afterlife. Most religions already endorse the concept that we should serve our fellow man, and not cause needless suffering. Causing millions of hours of suffering for a paycheck is generally considered evil.
At its best it verifies that "Adam" is using a device that was verified by a trusted 3rd party as being added to the network by Adam himself. So, it is more about trusting devices than individual interactions.

I've also done this (and use github copilot while editing scad files in Emacs). I really wish there were more audio programming languages and examples so that we could create music like this, too.
As someone who spent an enormous amount of free time with zero pay contributing to one of those open source cad tools you mentioned, i say good for her. Make that bag. I work in a low level job thats got nothing to do with open source nor with CAD because i spent way too much time waiting for open source to magically produce income. There is a spectrum between open source dreams and pragmatic reality. People who judge you are almost universally wrong in their assumptions and their worldview and listening to them was a waste of time. I hope she makes a million dollars and uses it to support open source projects.

Any general references would be really appreciated. Thank you!
Renewables are cheaper if you only compare cost of generation. The issue is they need storage. Add in that cost and the price becomes super murky, and depends heavily on geography; access to good clean water (electrolysis), viable valleys to dam (hydro) etc.
It might still be an acceptable risk. Most governments around the world probably don’t care that much if it’s discovered they are surveiling a journalist or lawyer.

In most of the world everyone knows that journalists and lawyers are being monitored.
I bought tailwind UI more than a year ago. The lifetime/unlimited product or whatever it was.

It’s generally fine but feels incomplete. Many of the components don’t have any alpine or JS code documented even though the team has clearly built those aspects when building the previews and demos.

I’m not sure what the rationale was there but I hope they’ve fixed it here.
I never experienced a waiting list for LV. I can happily buy a Neverfull Tote bag online. If I order it today I have it on time for Christmas. Definitely not the Rolex experience of years long waiting list.

Maybe it's because I message the sales person ahead of time when I go to the store and indicate what I want to see so they get it in the store for me. That's not even possible with Rolex.
The problem is designing coherent usable keybindings is a large undertaking.

Plus things like C-c C-f and similar working throughout many different elisp packages in a predictable useful way is super valuable.
Also look at Flowbite as an alternative tailwind component library
Eh, counter-argument to that is — it is sometimes really fun to discuss absolutely outrageous and stupid conspiracy theories. It’s a fun thing to laugh at, I would say even that gives a common ground to a group.
It's not THAT hard to start a new religion these days. Plenty of prior art. I mean look at Mormons, Scientology or you know.. the EA people.
I do go somewhere - I go to my home office. I have an entire formal written agreement which stipulates that I am to work from this location, and not other locations. If I’m stuck in a different city - tough luck - I need to haul ass back home.

This is a location where I have expended great effort in creating a productive and specialized workspace engineered to deal with personal medical issues largely using money out of my own pocket. I went to this expense, not just to benefit myself, but out of a sincere desire to be as productive as possible at my job.

>Why would you, somebody who is not in the industry and has absolutely no clue about this, have an opinion this strongly held?

This happens absolutely constantly on cough various websites around the internet. People who are always the smartest people in the room in their industries commenting on topics like pinsetting machines. Pinch hazards are unbelievably dangerous and kill or maim lots of people every year. Operator fatigue, poor design, and thousands of other factors obviously contribute. But they wouldn't know because they've never worked in those spaces.
Mobile games are only harmful to a relatively tiny group of addicted gamers, while internet ads have very serious consequences acting on society as a whole.

I don’t think mobile gaming companies have a potential to destroy free press, or negatively affect mental health of wide population of teenagers, or invade privacy of billions of people. They simply don’t have the scale for any of that.

I’ve gotten into the habit of using “Inspect Source” in my browser when copying and pasting, because it tends to have almost fully-built Alpine transitions embedded.

It's not just "a few". Small to medium sized age gaps are the norm. Most men prefer women of the same to younger age, most women prefer men or the same to older age. In societies with changing fertility, this leads to dating pools being of non-matching size.
Here is a tool to view, cross-reference and navigate the source code: https://github.com/rochus-keller/LisaPascal; Pascal, Clascal and assembler files are supported.
There really additional friction dealing with payments, cards, buttons etc. Personally when I park, I just want to stick the charging plug into my car and walk away and not think about it, the same way I do with my phone every night.
Perhaps you could address that issue through explicit "family" or "friend" groups, where people can chose who they wish to verify for. That would limit the usefulness of the trust network but prevent the privacy issue you mention.

A lot of sound can be absorbed by just introducing mass, e.g. a full bookshelf. Shelves need bracing for earthquakes, but if you think of "library quiet", a lot of that is created by how the space is filled, not because people actually behave differently in a library.

Ground vibration also needs mass to dampen, and it's harder to solve without expensive treatments since it ultimately depends on placement relative to loadbearing elements - jumping up and down on a structural beam will be overall less noisy than the flooring in between.

That said, you can lower the frequency by borrowing the techniques of weightlifting platforms: alternating layers of a dense rebond foam and wood.
I find that notion ridiculous. There are no beginner’s watches. Only watches. A $20 Casio is a nice way to enter the watch world and remains perfectly fine forever. It uses a CR2016 battery and keeps perfect time. A quartz Seiko is a bit nicer and can be worn for more formal events. A mechanical Rolex sports watch such as an Explorer is a remarkable timepiece yet keeps worse time than the previous two. Buy what makes you happy. A $5 Casio that’s good enough for the pope[0] and Tyler the Creator should be good enough for everyone.

What problem is this solving? It seems like boilerplate SQL Alchemy to me. You could probably do away with the schema entirely in a documentdb like mongo and just post your documentation ad-hoc without worrying about schema.
I promise I mean this question honestly and not sarcastic.

But if having a rolex means you have some money but nothing to say... What type of watch do real watch people buy? And what interesting thing are they saying through their purchase?
It's pretty easy to get 5 degrees with two obscure pages from completely unrelated categories, like a small train stop to a videogame character.
Eh also add that most years number of people traveling by flight increases. 2009 and 2020-2021 were outliers. We're dealing with around 20% more fliers than 2000 but most major destination airports have not expanded in kind to deal with the additional traffic.

Also add in housing incursion to most airports where development has got closer making it near impossible for current airports to expand.
I learned so much from using tailwind ui. Could be more extensive but it’s easily paid for itself
Oh well if it's formal, that suddenly makes it totally okay and therefore nobody is paying for you to do that in extra effort...

My point is that in situations like yours, there's always a loser, and they often don't get a choice. You're benefitting, but the people you have an agreement with have passed the cost of keeping you in the loop and productive onto someone else, and that someone else can't decide to end remote work for you if the burden it too high.
I can see it on the top right corner.
Try refreshing.
The decision to cough up for the lifetime payment pays off again.
> And all code is an asset.

No - runnable programs are an asset.

The code to produce those runnable programs is a liability.

It's a necessary liability for a sustainable software business, as without the code fixing bugs is nigh-impossible (though not theoretically impossible - long-ago programmers wrote and read raw machine code).

But, the code itself is not what produces value. That's the code's output.

(Yes, you could be clever and say "but what about interpreted languages?"

I'd respond by pointing out that it's pretty rare to distribute a pile of executable code files to end users. Front-end JS only producing UX if delivered as part of a website, and similar principles hold for other interpreted languages - they're effectively object files once deployed, as in any deployment they're being run by the interpreter, not read by a human.)

As someone also in a software career… spot on. I’d estimate GPT4 saves me 30-60 minutes every day, and I feel confident that’s not an exaggeration. It’s gotten to the point where I make certain scripts to automate things I previously would’ve done manually because the turn around with GPT4 for simple tasks means I’m spending 50% the time making an automated solution even for small tasks where it would normally take me too long to be reasonable to automate a one time task.

It makes little sense. Naturally, there are about 1.07 males born for every 1 female, so there's usually an excess of young men. The OP's statement only makes sense if the young women all insist on finding older, monogamous partners.
