I went shopping on there for Legos for Christmas.

SEVERAL of the products on the first page werer knock off Legos in boxes that looked almost identical to actual Lego boxes, fonts, numbering, and all.

It’s just a scam site now that happens to also sell legitimate products.

Searching for other products results in more irrelevant products every day. Even searching for exact product names will not get you that product that you know is on there. The search seems to have been gamed into a mess.
Speaking of tricks.. a while back I turned off my “reading insights” in the Kindle app. Recently I’ve been re-reading Asimov and kindle reading insights popped up to congratulate me on my reading streak. Wouldn’t you know it — they’ve been tracking my reading this whole time, and I looked into it and there is no opt out short of closing my account (and subsequently losing access to my kindle library). Just absurd levels of stalking in the pursuit of data.
I don’t think you’re wrong — I just think that zoning is primarily driven by viewing houses as a speculative asset rather than a functional good.

It's not true. Carbon emissions are record high and growing. I think I read that carbon emissions in the US declined somewhat this year. I also read (small sliver of hope) that we have avoided (so far) the worst-case climate scenario.

The US is also producing a record amount of oil (locked-in emissions), Biden just approved some huge drilling lease and they're considering allowing construction of new LNG terminals in the Gulf. :-\

Something that's kinda funny but baffling to me is the unspoken assumption that a UI with voice input should also default to voice output.

That's not how two humans work on command / response tasks, say, hanging pictures. You say, "a finger to the left and up" and I move the picture. Silent UI feedback is a curiously unplumbed idea.

Or another one: if you sit at a restaurant and ask the menu, would you rather they tediously recite it? Or hand you a paper menu while maybe giving a couple tips like "the fish pasta is awesome today"?

I wonder if that's a fluke or exit node for a large number of Unclass networks that a lot of bored LCpl Schmuckatellis are using.
Or perhaps they think they should have what their parents had 20 years ago when they were children and their parents were in their 20's?
In strict terms yes, if you didn't get informed consent from your test subjects that would be unethical.

Research has a lot of policies and systems set up to ensure that if your testing involves people, you must get informed consent from the persons before even trying to do the test, and it's really not hard to imagine why this is a stringent standard -- it's very easy to miss how "simple tests" can and often are adverse to those participating in the test or have unintended consequences that the researchers didn't accommodate for, regardless of the reason they did not.

Ads are often portrayed as harmless but, like, there's a reason there are restrictions on advertising for certain highly addictive products and regulations against false or misleading advertising, or certain tactics aren't allowed.

"We shouldn't try because it won't work. We know it won't work because there are so few examples of it working."

Most countries used to have above-replacement fertility. At least some countries that implement natalist policies recover fertility. While not exactly a reversal of low fertility, Israel is an example of an advanced economy with above-replacement fertility.

Evidence points overwhelmingly towards this being a fixable problem, if only we try. Certainly few other problems are approached this way - we don't give up on reducing CO2 emissions or plastic pollution just because we've so far not succeeded. One only approaches a problem this way if one doesn't want to solve it.
Sleeper Agents: Training Deceptive LLMs That Persist Through Safety Training
ipyflow has a %%memoize magic which looks quite similar to %%xetmemo (just without specifying the inputs / outputs explicitly): https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow/?tab=readme-ov-file#memoi...

Would be cool if we could come up with a standard that works across notebooks / libraries!
Ah, yes -- to expand on this. You know how some countries employee a large number of people to engage on social media platforms. They have to put in enough good content to build up their rank, and then use that high ranking to subtly put out propaganda which would get more visibility due to their user status. But that takes a lot of effort and manpower.

Now take an LLM that you can feed it questions or discussions from sites, have it jump in with what appears to be meaningful content, gets a bunch of "karma", then gradually start putting out the propaganda. It would be a hard item to fight.

>Maybe for a small sub-set of games, but for the vast majority you're running them on Win32 and DX compatibility layers that each have overhead. Sometimes a lot.

It really doesn't matter. You're talking theoretical benchmarks, when in reality the only thing that matters to someone playing is 60fps@4k. For a compatible game, any Linux machine is equally capable of acheiving that through Proton with a sufficient GPU. Particularly for Nvidia, where the linux drivers are equally as good or better than Windows at this point.
> Look at all those nations you listed that are very homogeneous.

New Zealand isn't.
Note that there has been a concerted effort to discredit windmills by the oil-and-gas industry to portray them as meat grinders for birds with the same photographs and handy boilerplate text distributed to various "special interest groups" (read: astroturfers) all over the globe to try to stave off the inevitable. And all of this is perfectly legal. They did the same with whales.
It was definitely a stretched association. I'm still surprised how far the author ran this article off the rails though:

> Perhaps now, a window is opening to add more women like Christensen to design teams, and to infuse more femininity, or even androgyny, into car design.

> Perhaps, though, it may not always feel that the end result of designing for women resonates with men and women alike, much less the LGBTQIA+ community.

What if I'm just, a normal person? What if I don't want to give you the marketing details of my gender or my sexuality or personal insecurity, and just want a normal car? I get the feeling that tuning current designs towards "androgynous" market demand would just put us back where we are today.

The engineering part of me is so frustrated and sad after reading this. I don't understand where the author is coming from and it feels like an in-joke gone too far.
Excellent point. Many don't understand that 83(b) only applies to property that has been transferred but not vested. Sometime people mistake a lock-up period on selling stock as equivalent to not being vested -- it is not.
This is a welcome alternative to Jupyter Notebooks/lab- great work! One thing that would be nice is an ability to see previews on GitHub of the Marimo notebook (like Jupyter Notebook). I am not sure if this is possible given you would have to run the code to see the output.
> for which a replacement could arrive in 2024 or 2025

That's unlikely. They're in the process of testing out various moonshots (hydrogen powered aircraft in multiple configurations, flying wings, open fan engines), and it's practically impossible to have enough data to engage in a new design so quickly. Especially when the neo A320 family is quite new, selling very well, and has new models coming out soon (A321LR and XLR), and they already have the A220 that can use new engines and a stretch.
Please stop. "Godwin's Law" is irrelevant bullshit. It's not a "law" and it doesn't prove anything, or do anything except add noise to the conversation.
A plan to do something about climate change
A small solar panel should be integrated into vehicles just to maintain the low voltage battery.
People have decent enough access to fiat already. Certainly better than what our parents and grandparents and so on went through. What’s absent is the foresight to think about the future with wisdom. People are in party mode for too long and think life is just about single life living or an endless consumption-based vacation type of experience.

We require a return to maturity and responsibility and clear, focused thoughts across the board. We need to have higher standards for truth and accurate information and accurate statistics. We need less climate fear-mongering and doom-scrolling. The world and civilization are not ending yet many youth are blasted by endless propaganda and negativity from a young age.

We need to be smart and fixated on what’s true again, in all areas. Truth over lies and truthful statements and processes over half-truths or lies.

So it’s a values and wisdom thing, which has been absent or pulled out from beneath people by the sudden subversion of reasoned and nuanced thinking by easy access to qualitatively cheap information and sound bites.

I think the appetite for nuance will come back and this will represent a return to truth and consequently to more emphasis on family and especially the nuclear family.
> [so], these words in GPLv3: “The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.” mean that the proprietary software that is not a combined work with the GPLv3'd work must also function?

Surely the massive open air pools of salt used for sea salt production have figured out how this process works.

On the Californian coast, there is already at least https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bay_Salt_Works , a sea salt production facility that uses salt pools. They produce 80k tons annually of salt, which means they process 2666k tons of seawater to get that. If that one salt production facility used brine as their source instead of seawater, they would have allowed the facility to produce 2580k tons of freshwater. The "urban" usage of water in California is 10 million acre-feet (ish), so that's not exactly a significant amount.
We disagree it’s a problem, or that a fix is needed.
I think to some it's easy to assume because how you think feels so natural that it's hard to imagine how it could be different, and so much easier to assume it's just misunderstandings.
My examples for how fast exponential growth gets out of hand:

• At 1% annual population growth starting now without access to faster than light travel in ~12000 humans the total volume of all human bodies would exceed the volume of the 12000 light year radius sphere that humanity would be limited to.

• At 1% annual energy growth in energy needs starting from now in ~12000 years our annual energy use would equal the energy of the entire universe. All the mass including dark matter converted to energy (E=mc^2) and all the gravitational potential energy and all the dark energy...one year of human use.

• At 1% annual population growth starting now in ~12300 years the total mass of all human bodies would exceed the mass of the observable universe.

Let's break that last one down into waypoints along the path to needing the entire universe. Starting from now with 1% annual population growth and assuming humans don't evolve so much in the next 12000+ years to be massively (no pun intended!) smaller:

• 3400 years until we need the entire mass of the Earth plus to Moon for human bodies.

• 600 years after that and we need to add Jupiter's mass.

• 700 years more and we need all the mass in the solar system.

• It is then 2000 years until we need to mass of the entire Milky Way galaxy.

• A mere 100 years later we need to add the mass of the Andromeda Galaxy.

• That's 6800 years from now. From there it is another 5500 years to need to add the rest of the observable universe.
You can't fix all of it. Microsoft is very aggressive about re-enabling certain "features" and new ones arrive regularly. Try watching Performance Monitor during the night, you'll be surprised at which files Microsoft are accessing regularly without your consent.

I'm one of the few maintainers.

Updating docs to a new release is easy unless the documentation system (such as react.dev redesign) or design is rewritten. Some projects seem to do this on a regular basis.

Some documentation generators generate random class names (such as .gtWOdv, .ezMiXD, .gOhcvK on docs.npmjs.com by Gatsby) which makes cleaning the docs from superfluous content (such as on-page navigation) very cumbersome and flaky.

Monthly, we auto-generate a list of outdated docs, here is the latest: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs/issues/2105

In addition to all of the theoretical responses provided, I would also say that the US has withstood the test (so far).

Trump is probably one of the “worst”* people and held the highest office. And yet despite the fact that it happened, the US is still chugging along. Bad things happened but the quality of life is similar to pre-trump presidency (as long as you are willing to discount for covid’s impact on the world).

*Some say there are worse ppl than djt, but I argue very few has his combination of badness + boldness + tenacity. A bad+meek person thrust into presidency would probably just go with the flow.

That kind of demographic shift takes a generation or more to really occur. It hasn't even been 4 years since remote work took off with the pandemic.
> Any government that depends on human virtuousness will fail.

All governments fail, it’s only a question of when. The stability of the US is in no small part due to its geography and natural wealth. Having two oceans on each side and more arable land than you know what to do with is far more of an asset anything written on paper. It seriously reduces the threat of external and internal conflict, and the US got this for a song.

Further, there’s a strong argument to be made that the US did not last this entire time. The centralization that happened after the Civil War created a fundamentally different government than was created in 1789. Through the process of incorporation, constitutional amendments were enforced on states which created a far more uniform country.

I fully agree, and the same reasoning applies for the military use of AI.
They do have that filter but annoyingly it resets between each search. I don't buy a ton from Walmart but I typically buy allergy medicine there since it's cheap. So I go to walmart.com, search for "allergy medicine", scroll through the filters and then click Retailer->Walmart and then pick my poison. Then I realize I need to add a few bucks worth of stuff to hit the free shipping threshold so I search for "dark chocolate" and add something to my cart...only to realize it wasn't directly from Walmart so it doesn't apply. For every search you have to go in and filter by Retailer->Walmart specifically. Ugh.
This is a very good idea, starting a file on cloudflare right now.
The idea is that the proxy removes all the AGPL compliance features from the web application. So if your app has a View Source link that spits out all the *.php files on disk, your proxy blocks that link. AGPL prohibits you from removing parts of a program intended to implement a "View Source" link, but it doesn't put any specific limitations on the conduct of other, unrelated programs.

The only other thing I could think of to prevent this would be a DMCA 1201 claim - i.e. that the view source link is a DRM system, and that a proxy that removes those links is illegal. Except all v3 licenses explicitly foreclose the ability to make DMCA 1201 claims relating to features of the software.

My guess is, Mastodon used AGPLv3 primarily because the Affero clause scares off big tech companies, notably Google. I don't have access to any IRC logs or issue tracker comments to prove this is the case, though.

I see your desire to "bring the conversation back on track". On your terms, it would seem. It came across rather heavy handedly. This is a request you can make, not something you can impose.

By "wishy-washy" do you feel like... I'm being indecisive? Not taking a firm stance? Changing positions?

Here's how I see it -- I often intentionally don't "hit people over the head" with my particular positions. It doesn't mean I don't have a stance; instead, I often prefer to frame the issue first. I consider this a starting point, not an ending one, so feel free to continue the conversation.
This feels like something of a non story to me. Using AI for product descriptions seems like an obvious and reasonable use case; and data entry errors are not uncommon nor terribly harmful in the context.

If someone points out that it's in character for the author to deny global warming, and we're seeing her write an article about how global warming isn't that big of a deal, it's valid to criticize it because of her past behavior.

I like magic mushrooms. They help me try to figure out the existence of God (or, really, some kind of higher entity or observer). I believe. I came to the hypothesis that nothing doesn't exist, that nothing = infinity. Time, 3D shape, plane, line, point... then infinity.

Higher dimensions would be the most probable reason for the existence of our universe. And even that humans making our own computer simulated universe, with little AI generated automatons, would further prove the existence of a higher entity.
