I was going to post the final few pages of the book here as one example, but it’s way more graphic than I remembered, so I won’t.

But nothing at all was served by us reading about how deftly the main characters 13 year old daughter blew him until he was hard enough to ride. Or the main characters musings about their two (very underage) children having sex and how he was totally
ok with it. Or the long section about the wife urging him to impregnate his daughter. Or the other dozen weird-ass things in that chapter.

There’s several more examples like this in the book.

The author is not exactly the first to explore potential consequences of effective immortality, but they are one of the few who was seemingly unable to do it without repeatedly getting to multi-page, graphic, and violent, sex scenes.

Like, if one feels the need for that kind of thing, William S Burroughs and Tom Wolfe already beat that one to death decades ago.

As another example more relevant to this crowd, Altered Carbon covered the exact same subject matter, and did so without needing to write smut for teenage boys.
At the end of the day, people mostly want to talk about themselves, and if your goal is to be someone they want to talk to it means you're there to listen.

It's not about communication, or about forming a relationship or a connection or whatever. It is about making them enjoy speaking with you. So they now think you're a "great person". You're not making friends, you're just building sympathy capital to be used later.
It works fine for me, with a current FF on Linux (Ubuntu), opening in a new tab. I have lots of extensions enabled.

But I do share your frustration: the modern web seems unusable, unless you have a collection of extensions that block ads, annoying consent forms and the likes. But once you have these extensions installed, you basically lose all support.

Sometimes stuff breaks, and it works in a new profile even with the same extensions installed... and then what? You're supposed to throw away your profile with bookmarks, CAs, years of history etc.?
It's actually called "indefinite leave to remain", which almost sounds as if they hadn't made their mind up about leave vs remain.

I'm glad they renamed it to "settled status" for EU citizens remaining after the UK decided to leave the EU.
Those hotspots on the brick walls indicate low validity of the test I think.

I want to see if there is a supplementary material or something to see more results but

Not every AI company. There are two approaches to solving problems. One is finding problems you didn't have to solve with the latest hammer. The other is having existing problems and solving them with the latest hammer. The subtle difference tends to bisect product outcomes accurately and thus can drive investment decisions. My crystal ball is mostly fairly well proven heuristics and financial modelling (used to be the day job). I could be wrong but the chance of a favourable outcome is less than one I'd put money on.

Family members of EU citizens are allowed entry into and free movement within the Schengen area by law. Showing or even owning a residency card is not required to exercise that right, which makes it quite different to the situation in various other countries, where that right is actually tied to having completed some bureaucratic act in addition to qualifying for it.

Of course it makes it much easier – carrying a marriage certificate is obviously less practical than the card, and that's why it exists. But as far as I know, Schengen border posts are required to accept the marriage certificate as well.

A weird detail is that this right technically does not apply in the EU citizen's home country, but since you mentioned that Danish authorities can figure it out by phone, that shouldn't be an issue in your case.
I'm not American or live in a western country. I wish I did.

I don't agree I have more in common with a BLM protesters than someone from China or Eastern Europe. That's probably true for most people on these samples but surely not all.

I despise the Chinese government. I despise most Eastern European governments, I don't know them all by heart. A lot of people under their governments do too.

I agree with your ideals, those should be the rule, but they aren't. It's been quite some time since Obama's "when they go low we go high".

I agree talking on the internet is mostly a mistake.
> non-native speakers must find this phrase so confusing

Even native speakers struggle with it (i.e. me, when I first saw it being used).

'Leave' in its form meaning 'permission' is only generally used in 'I am on leave from work today'. Many other Commonwealth and Anglophone countries (Australia, NZ, Canada, Singapore) just call it a 'visa validity period'; indefinite leave to remain is 'permanent residency'.
Is SDL_gpu meaningfully different from WebGPU? Looking at their goals they seem to be more or less the same, building an accessible lowest-common-denominator abstraction over DX12/Vulkan/Metal, except SDL_gpu is an early work in progress and WebGPU already has two good open implementations.
I think you and the op are both missing that the vast majority of those mid skilled jobs still exist, they just exist in countries whose labor costs are drastically lower. When you realize that, you then realize that betting that your workers will be able to maintain a quality gap large enough to justify keeping them around is extremely questionable over the medium to long term because you are assuming some combination of there being a difference in your populations at a macro level (almost certainly wrong), that you will be able to innovate quality/other differentiating characteristics fast enough to maintain a large gap (almost certainly wrong, it's way harder to come up with something new vs copying the practices that exist already, especially when it is in the interest of the company in control of those practice to offshore for more profit), or your government will always be better in the specific subset of ways that maintains an advantage (better infrastructure, better regulation, etc. Also wrong when environmental regulation is at odds with profits and infrastructure only needs to be good between the factory and the port).

The better strategy is what everyone else has been doing, letting the third world catch up in labor costs for a few generations while ensuring you maintain the design capability. This does more than any ngo ever to decrease poverty and suffering, it will mean at some point in the future your labor won't be so starkly uncompetitive so eventually you can bring some manufacturing back, and it makes it less likely that the best and brightest arent' wasted on subsistence farming/made less due to childhood malnutrition in the third world, which should help us innovate faster in the future.
People want to be around you because they like you or they want something from you. You aren't going to be able to change your personality, so the only thing that you can change is your disposition. But trying to be something you aren't in order to attract people is going to come across as fake.

This sounds like one of these things that are trivially true and yet super useful if you embrace it. Do you have any more reading material about this idea?
Just in network costs, there's a huge asymmetry. Uploading data to AWS is free. Downloading data from them, you have to pay.

When you have enough data, that cost is quite significant.

What specifically is not sustainable?

As I see it you're basically arguing for less focus on innovation. Skiff failed as a business. To not waste resources would mean it had to never have existed in the first place. That means you need to limit the desire of investment in risky or innovative ventures as most of those will fail. When they fail the resources used for them are wasted. This is because if you limit the ability of companies to exit to recoup some loses then you increase risk for starting a company. It also doesn't prevent waste in any way since the existing large companies (now even larger due to less competition) can still internally make and kill products at will. Or just do things very inefficiently.
Even after Googling I can't find the answer: what would you show then at the boarder? On their website, the "share code" seems to only be for non-governmental use.

Is your passport number then linked to the visa? What happens if you get a new passport? Does it work for non-biometric passports?

Or is there some kind of stable "citizen" identifier in the passport that the visa is linked to? I can't imagine it being a simple name + DoB lookup.
Hah do you work for the EU in the eco brigade department lol!?

Works well for people who don’t sweat and in colder climates I guess.

And isn’t the “don’t wash” just an indictment of the quality of the garment? I guess if people want to trade less clean clothes for “brand new dye” colour that’s up to them.

Yes clothes need to be clean. Bit of an odd question

Do you wash yourself with no soap and a cold single small cup of water once a week?

While the media focuses on China, Germany invests much more in the US. And if you summarize the investment in eastern europe, it is probably larger as well.

The current government has famously green policies: Shutting down nuclear plants and perhaps have a willingness to accept heavy industry leaving Germany. It is however a very unpopular government so I don't know if those policies will hold long term.
"AI safety" is humans censoring humans usage of such tools.
There doesn’t need to be any conspiracy theories when governments will often use their leveraged positions to get something from companies and punish them severely if they don't comply.

If I remember correctly, there was a certain LEA which approached an US ISP for an informal surveillance request, they refused, and the LEA retaliated by cancelling their contract. I’m failing to find it, so I’d be happy if someone can provide a source.

I'm not a fan of the Java community either, they love their structure. people jest about the FactoryFactoryFactory but you'll legit see that stuff out in the wild.

Paradoxically, I like the PHP community because they're so practical (yes, the language itself is ugly). RoR built rake for running jobs (it does more things, but that was the primary motivation). PHP community just used cron. Although, having said that, Laravel takes a lot of its cues from RoR and has the same sort of tooling.

But when Laravel first hit the scene a lot of people would criticize it for its use of static, but it was legitimately nice to use and that won out in the end.

I don't make a judgement of Rails as a community. Most of my Ruby work has been Ruby on Rails so that's' the lense I see things through. Rubyists may be the most practical of all, it's just that so much of Ruby code is RoR that it's difficult for me to separate them out.
I'm also using PostgreSQL as a queue of tasks for a side project and it has been OK---although it has barely enough load for me to say that it's "really OK" or whether it will turn out to be a problem in the future. I'm convinced I can go this way for a really long time without having to rearchitect the system or add more bloat to it.

Anyhow, in my case, PostgreSQL is there just there to persist task state, and the database does very little magic. In fact, I also have a SQLite-backed implementation that allows service unit tests to be fast. Most of the work around managing such queue is in-process (and in Rust) because I wanted to keep deployments and operations simple. If interested, I wrote this thing a few months ago on how it works: https://jmmv.dev/2023/06/iii-iv-task-queue.html

And that’s why Java is the only non-meme language.

Need a hashmap? Need a webserver? Need a UI? It’s all built in. It just works on any device with the same code. People who actually know what they’re doing wrote it and you can trust it. No random downloads or weird packages.

If you want to download random things you still can, but realistically you don’t need to.

I'm Dutch. Just look across the border at what will happen. We're having lots of fun with our dearly beloved Geert Wilders trying to get a government together and having to suddenly deal with the notion that 100% percent of his party program is a combination of impractical, impossible, or in conflict with the constitution, international treaties, and what his own voters actually want. Which of course is a hot topic of debate and kind of hard to pin down to more than "I don't like X". Where X is foreigners, people that look a bit funny, the weather, or whatever else they saw on TV. Vaguely disgruntled and angry is the dominating sentiment.

He may or may not get a government together. But if he does, it will likely be short lived and implode under its own madness. This is not actually the first time this is happening in my country. The last time was a wild ride of ludicrously incompetent people doing silly things until the whole thing ended. This round looks like it's going to be a repeat of that. Very similar to the Trump presidency, actually.

The AFD may very well end up in power at some point but it will probably be their undoing. Kind of a necessary evil and it will definitely shake a few things up if it happens. But a bit of short lived shock therapy like that might actually not be that bad for Germany. Either way, I don't see them getting anywhere near 50%.
I think this will be the new normal.

There are a lot more AI projects hungry for data to train their models on. This puts content companies in an uncomfortable situation: trademark infringement claims, loss of intellectual property, and more.
It is shocking how few people understand how DNS works
It would appear to be percentage of population.
What was their response?
Inexplicably name-calling clear math communication as "patronizing" doesn't make it any less essential.

The numbers are shocking. Based on the modest complexity of that task (I'd say between upper Level 2 and Level 3), perhaps 35-50% of Americans are able to complete the task.[0]

>And if someone doesn't understand 91 v 98%, do you really think they'll get 350% increase?

Sure, if you explain it. "4.5 times" is a good phrase. Doesn't take up many column inches.

It's a much harder leap to go straight from "91% vs 98%" to "that means 350% more," which is what the article is currently expecting.

Since we've apparently agreed not to have a working education system, maybe we should at least explain key global environmental threats in mass media in terms the majority of citizens can actually understand. Just a thought.

If you look at Lloyd’s under the actual documents accepted they don’t list it there.

No, I don't think that's what the science says. To the best of my knowledge the only thing that says that was a biased study comparing children of wildly different backgrounds, and has been completely discredited by serious scientists.

After spending 45 minutes with Gemini, I don't see this at all.

The only thing I haven't decided yet with it being Google is if it is shockingly unimpressive or unshockingly unimpressive.

chatGPT4 isn't really impressive to me either at this point. This is basically a joke though.

This is going to be competing against chatGPT5 and chatGPT5 has to deliver a huge upgrade in "intelligence" or we are headed head first into the AI hype brick wall.
Does it decrease the resell value? For me the phone becomes more valuable not less due to the fact that I can do more with it. There are many like me. There are many whose phones aren’t with getting fixed by Apple (hence worthless), but could be worth getting fixed by someone else.

So really you simply don’t know what will happen to resell values of iPhones. They could increase or decrease. Claiming one or the other is speculation.
I also used a Safari for a long time and had the same frustration of “I don’t write quite often enough and it tends to dry up”. You might want to consider a TWSBI: I bought an ECO-T a while back and that thing does not dry up, they are extremely well sealed when the cap is screwed on. I also found I like the nib better than the Lamy, but that’s more a matter of taste.
I am always surprised at how infrequently logical replication is mentioned when people are trying to implement these types of systems. I've used Debezium with some success in the past, but recently implemented my own application level reader to facilitate low latency event sourcing projections where I didn't want to involve Kafka. This seems to be quite a good solution in many scenarios that typically involve undesirable performance tradeoffs, as it doesn't introduce polling or much additional load on your DB, allows better isolation of the consumer workload, allows simple recovery if the consumer restarts or gets disconnected (e.g. you pick up at the LSN you left off and aren't worried that you missed a NOTIFY while offline), and watching status of the replication slot gives a since external metric to monitor of the health of the consumer.
