The second suggestion might work, but Wirecutter’s recommendations have sucked more and more after they got bought by NYT. Sometimes they don’t even test the stuff they recommend: they just go by Amazon reviews and what other sites say. Other times their recommendations are just bogus: their “cheap” wifi6 router was a nightmare for me, basically $120 thrown to the trash (well no, the first unit sucked and failed so I returned it but since it was a failure they just sent me a new one back with no way to get a refund, so the new unit is still in its box in my basement; I got a decent router based on someone else’s recommendation).

Keyword or text matching based search is likely still more popular due to how long its been around, its simplicity, and the tooling built around it. Most companies who have internal search are most likely not using vector / semantic search, but are doing something more basic.
> HTML (or HXML, don't shoot!) which is a subset of text with additional concepts layered on top of it. This is akin to how JSON (or XML) is not hypermedia

So, HTML is different from plain text because it "has concepts layered on top of text" where as JSON is not hypermedia despite "having concepts layered on top of text". And the only reason is because you said so.

> So I still think it makes sense to discuss if a media is or is not hypermedia without reference to the client

Then JSON is just as much hypermedia as HTML. Both are structured text unusable without a specific client to display them or work with them.

> Semantic nitpicking perhaps, but then hypermedia discussions appear to tend to invite this sort of thing.

They only invite them because of your insistence on calling only HTML the "natural hypermedia" etc.
No, you're right, but I think maybe I didn't communicate my thought well.

I'm not absolving them of their participation in bendingspoons and other such companies, I'm saying to not forget that it's the soulless portfolio managers that are the minds that move the body of evil.

I do blame them for their participation, but not as much as the people offering them the opportunity to profit from the exploitation of others.

It's like the Bernie Madoff "victims". A bunch of them were in on it to some degree so they could make a quick buck. I have no more sympathy for them than they do for me.

But the majority of the people who both profited and lost from Madoff were people who were letting their 401k retirement plans be managed by a company which were ultimately being used to fund the scheme.

Not a one of them likely knew that this was how their money was being used and they are all actually victims.

The real jerks are the stockbroker portfolio managers. If they didn't offer to enable rich-jerk douchery for fun and profit, it wouldn't be a thing they were all doing.
Wow. Does this mean they can fix climate change now?
The worst thing for me is how the Amazon search algorithm seems to want to show you everything but the item you searched for.

In many categories, even when explicitly searching for brand and model names, you’ll get dozens of off-brand substitutions and even random unrelated products appearing above it in the search results.

Occasionally I’ve even noticed products that are available for sale (if you click on a direct link or have them saved in your favorites etc), but refuse to show up in search results no matter what!

Often it’s easier to find things on Amazon using Google search than using Amazon’s search.
That takes forever (every bankrupt store ever has still had customers to the very end) and meanwhile it looks great.

Especially when you realize that Amazon holds a gun to the head of all these "scammy/crappy" sellers and makes them pay even MORE to be the first suggested result, etc.

I think it's good for the soul to practice being genuine, open yourself up to trusting your own judgement. You'll survive even the most mundane abstract dada colorfield art exhibit if you just trust yourself that a blue canvas is not interesting and everyone else is just as bored as you. You'll also be able to watch Freddie Got Fingered and admit that the movie's fun has a 20-minute half-life. Once you get past that hurdle it's easy to talk more, and that's what all these social in-groups and whatever really care about: having people to t̶a̶l̶k̶ bullshit with.

A Runaway Greenhouse Effect Is Unlikely on Earth [video]
It's impressive the rate at which Microsoft continues to enshittify Windows. If it wasn't for my Steam library I'd love to get rid of my PC and never think about it again.

The other day I was trying to trim a video, simple task. Of course, these days Windows has 2 built-in photo/video viewers and I never know which one to use. I tried the first one, and saw a pencil button that usually signifies "edit". It launched me into some app I've never heard of before called "Clipchamp" with an onboarding screen and everything. I didn't want to learn some new app, so I closed it out, closed out the media viewer app (clearly chose the wrong one), and picked the other one.

Come a few minutes later and I have an email from Clipchamp, thanking me for using the product. I rolled my eyes and archived the email. A few days later, I get ANOTHER email giving me suggestions for videos I can make in Clipchamp. They signed me up for their fucking mailing list! Because I tried to edit a video with their built-in app on their OS!

God I hate Windows.

Re: copyright cartel

When you have melody in a song, and it resembles something from the past (as it will almost certainly do a century after the invention of pop music), you'll be charged upfront or later sued. Combine that with never-ending copyright (see recent Steamboat Willie articles).

Here is the first case I remember:

The process is well developed today. It must be a lot safer to just not have a discernible melody at all.

If I want to take an uber to the airport, I can see whether it's going to be $15 or $28 (including surge), before I commit.

If I want to head downtown for pizza, are we expecting the restaurant to update their online price?

Most restaurants have crappy menu pdfs which aren't even IMHO mobile friendly.

Maybe this just a way to further nickle-n-dime you on top of the fees (line cook fees, workers health-insurance fee, busboy fee, mandatory tip fee) etc rather than just pay their works a regular wage.

Meh. Hard pass.
i can with good conscience say that i am doing all of what you suggest. no impulse, do research, skip and une out ads. except for the paid media to avoid ads. i use adblockers for that.

Sears still exists?
I'm not disputing that there is seriously heavy math involved - many of my fellow PhDs in physics/engineering went to finance.

It's just not what people consider as "science" :-)

My point is that branch of HPC developed somewhat independently of most of other science disciplines. It's also relatively newer, so it doesn't rely heavily on legacy code from the 70's/80's. Generally, newer disciplines (computational biology, modern ML, etc) don't use Fortran. Older stuff (physics, electromagnetics, most engineering, etc) are full of Fortran, and continue to be.

It's funny to read this headline as a general statement. I work for Strivr (https://www.strivr.com/), and we make immersive training. And the same forces that make immersive games more enthralling make immersive trainings significantly more powerful as learning experiences.

So I don't know, there's definitely such a thing as immersive experiences that are harmful, but I think for educational purposes more immersive experiences are strictly better than less immersive ones. (Provided that you want to learn as fast as possible and you want to focus on learning.) Now, immersive experiences are also more expensive (especially to get right) than less immersive ones, so cost is a factor but I think we definitely want more immersive education.

For public companies, it is extremely easy. Just start off with a warning every time certain filing (Section 13) is made. You could conceivably do this automated.

For private, large companies, its a simply attestation. You could open source monitoring for changes - if the company makes an PR announcement of any kind , or if a member of the public reports submits proof of change of control exercise in their contract, ask the company to update their attestation and compare.

They don't provide it ? They get a nice little red banner alerting users of shadiness going on.
the problem is capitalism necessitates enshittification.

you aren't getting a contender as long as the regulations are abhorrently lax about both the workers and the sellers. along with consumer rights. there just is no economic incentive to improve but rather dig the moat.

Well I thought the offhand remark about Bayesian priors was actually the real answer to his question of why we don’t accept arguments. I’m not going to accept some argument that contradicts a lot of what I previously thought was true unless it is very convincing (that can be achieved in a variety of ways). The remark about Bayes should have been front and center.

It's very simple. Amazon makes a lot of money on advertising and pay-for-placement within their store listings. So when you run a search, Amazon can easily make more money by showing items that they're paid the most to show, vs what you were actually looking for.

Battswap is being trialled by trucking companies, with much larger and heavier batteries than in cars. The engineering problems are fiddly and time-consuming to get right but not intrinsically difficult.

With battswap also being done at the lightweight end, eventually there will be convergence in the middle. But I think we have another decade or fifteen years to wait before standardization efforts have a chance and battswap can be vehicle manufacturer agnostic.

Battswap is an obvious way to lower the sticker price of vehicles, which is key to selling the next half billion of them.

> Everyone always says there is another way but not a single person has actually presented one that stops Hamas.

You do realize that Netanyahu, and other radicals in the Israeli government, has actually long purposely boosted Hamas by allowing financial transfers and has purposely hurt the Palestinian moderates? Netanyahu viewed supporting Hamas as a way to prevent a 2 state solution:

“The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset.”

So yeah, there is a clear solution here towards a 2-state solution where both Israeli and Palestinians have freedom and safety and self-determination. Providing hope is the best way to stop the growth of radical organizations.

I find I have to depart Amazon, Google / Reddit for things to get a sense of what the trusted brands are and then go back on Amazon to purchase it.
Glad more research is ongoing related to this. ME/CFS research is getting new life because of all the long COVID patients.

I was lucky enough to not have brain fog or PEM (post exertional malaise) after I contracted the illness pre-vaccine (late 2020) but I had all manner of other weird things happen to my body. Massive chest pain, cardio issues (echo came up fine though) and breathing problems. Very strange inflammatory behavior where eating carbs like pizza would trigger some wild autoimmune responses, especially in the first few weeks after the illness. I’d be laying in bed literally gasping for breath for no explainable reason.

Eventually I got better but it took about 6 months and I still have a minor chest pain whenever I take a deep breath that may never go away. Might be related to some vagus nerve damage. I also had some very strange circulatory issues like my feet literally bruising when I wore shoes that were a bit too tight and exhibiting Reynauds like symptoms in my toes and fingers when it got cold, when I had never before had Reynauds. All that eventually went away too.

It was quite disheartening to go to the doctor at the time and hear the answer “yeah we have a lot of people coming and reporting your constellation of symptoms but since you look good on the battery of tests we normally use we have no treatment for you”.
