I guess the trick is determining the definition of “bot”. Is it how many “users that are software programs” vs “users that are disingenuously engaging with the platform to spread or amplify specific kinds of content that are either programs or real people”?

Mastodon and Twitter likely have a similar percentage of total active users that are the former. I would speculate that Mastodon may even have more bots as a percentage of active accounts than Twitter because it is a smaller platform. Think news posting accounts that just link an article the second it is published.

Twitter, being a much larger mainstream platform probably has significantly higher percentage of users being the later kind of bots compared to Mastodon because they would have more of an impact on Twitter and Mastodon admins are more likely to just ban or defederate from instances that spread content that they don’t want to engage with.

Also if such devices (and law enforcement) worked well to reduce crime, the crime would move to less-surveilled areas. We don't see that happening anywhere.
It's sad how rare it is to see basic sanity prevail in this sort of situation. I hope the ruling is upheld on the inevitable appeals.
In my experience, being high enhances my musical (and I think generally creative) abilities. Music appreciation and analysis is especially better (maybe because it's the lowest effort thing). Many times when I was high I was listening to a song that I knew very well, but when high I was noticing more sounds in that song, like paying greater attention to guitars or bass in the background, that I wasn't paying attention to while sober. And since that "revelation", my appreciation of that song while sober was better, more detailed - I payed more attention to things that I first noticed while high. I'm also writing my own songs and often while high, the lyrics or melodies just spontaneously come to my mind, like when I'm not even trying to think about creating anything. Improvising music while high is great. But I can also say that there were cases when I created something that sounded bad when sober (but I think is rather an exception). But I'm rather not a neurotypical person so YMMV.

There are many examples of musicians that were making great music while high, such like of course the Beatles, and from the 60's I especially like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, but he's also an example of a guy that went "crazy" because of too much drugs (rather combined with preexisting mental issues). Large part of his best music is not well known because he became a victim of his perfectionism (couldn't finish what he was doing) and generally his ambitious work wasn't selling well - the Beach Boys were at the start a very non-ambitious pop/rock band, just like the Beatles, so going in more ambitious direction meant losing sales, and the rest of the band didn't like it. I think weed enhances curiosity, so it's helping in doing something that's not typical, experimenting with things and seeking new sounds - and that was something that Brian Wilson excelled at in the time when he was high all the time, the "Pet Sounds" album is a highly regarded classic that shows what I'm talking about. And unlike the Beatles, he was the producer of his own music (Beatles' ideas were "filtered" and realized by amazing George Martin who was well-educated and wasn't high, I think).

Coding while high on weed is not very good for me, it's hard to concentrate, thoughts flow in too many directions. So I think that in art weed can be a positive, but in other things that need precision and strictly logical thinking, it's negative.

Overall weed makes me more lazy. I think that most of the time when high, I'm just browsing internet (that's still not exactly negative because I usually learn many interesting things, but that's not what I would want to spend many hours of my time on). Recently I had a period of smoking too much, and then I was actually doing less music - after that, when I was sober in my free time, I started practicing guitar more, because I was more focused on my goals and more organized in what I was doing. But I'm generally a very chaotic person with a very chaotic life, so I think my experiences can't prove anything, even for me.
Has anyone read this and also, Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena, I am wondering how do they compare.
This is shocking? You're kidding right?
I had been using a ThinkPad Carbon X1 Yoga, but recently switched to a Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 because I wanted the extra screen space. (2-in-1s work in tent mode, which is great when I'm using a mech keyboard and trackball). I tend not to roll my own Linux on a laptop, because of the weird custom components, so Ubuntu is the easiest course. It has worked quite well, though I haven't bothered to try the fingerprint reader. The machine does firmware updates flawlessly, and suspends and wakes reliably (my window manager is i3, and I just use the provided xss-lock/i3lock mechanism).

Annoyances? This machine has a high-res 3840x2160 monitor, and you have to struggle to tell various applications to scale output. The nvidia GPU in this model means that I had to roll back from sway to i3, as sway “does not support” nvidia.The autorotate feature doesn't work out of the box, but a small bash script does the job.

Dell does have some support pages for Ubuntu, but I'd say their Linux support is perhaps not quite as solid as Lenovo's. I'll repeat a few pieces of advice: (1) use a distro that has all the drivers, including the nonfree ones, (2) be prepared to do web searches to solve arcane problems, and (3) expect to have odd little glitches in various apps, at least until you solve them. That said, I'm very happy with Linux on this machine.
Using your position in other markets to eliminate competition in other areas is acting like a monopoly. Apple does it in your example and many others areas.
So the thing with lawyers is that there is no communication (i.e. it's only "tacit collusion"). In this case there is communication via the company with the pricing algorithms.

My brother studied tacit collusion as part of his econ PhD (and new lawyers was one of the markets he looked at) but it would be a hard thing to actually legislate against and isn't illegal. You can't just be like "you guys can't pay the same".

Often it suffices to blame the agencies themselves, citing the very failures caused by mismanagement, corruption, and underfunding as evidence of the foolishness of using government agencies to do things.

If you are an individual landlord, yes, as you are cash-flow sensitive.

However, a lot of these "landlords" are private equity companies and the complexes have financing agreements.

The issue is that "lower rent" can trigger a "recapitalization" clause on the financing agreement. When that happens, the PE company will have to cough up cash. "Missing" rent, however, is generally allowed to be tacked onto the end of the financing agreement. That creates a perverse incentive if the system is highly leveraged--nobody wants to cough up cash and everybody is willing to kick the can down the road. And the PE companies have enough cash flow from other properties that they can ride this out (until, obviously, they can't and everybody fails simultaneously--but then they'll whine to the government for a bailout ... that's a different rant).

The "solution" is occupancy taxes. An unoccupied residence or commercial spot should have to pay a significant amount of cash if it remains unoccupied for longer than 6 months to a year.

Elon packed the board with personal friends who would never in a million years turn down any compensation package he asked for. The extent of their relationship was not disclosed in public filings. It's reasonable for the shareholders to ask if maybe the money could have been better spent on R&D or a cheaper CEO than being shuttled off as personal funds for the CEO.

You can read about the extent of the alleged fraud in the judgment, but it is clear that the board was nothing more than sycophants _not_ acting in the fiduciary interest of the shareholders.

Of course it does. With a given number of resources, more options needs to be supported means less resource spend on each one.

Part of the theory is that abstract thought enables culture, and culture enables much faster adaptation than genetic evolution. But still far from instant.

So maybe the abstract thought hardware was there for a long time before we got culturally coordinated enough to use it with full effectiveness to organize large groups capable of outcompeting Neanderthals.
There is a version that runs natively on x86 hardware (through it's a 32-bit system, aimed at older hardware; my newest x86 hardware is over a decade old and I've not had time to work much on a 64-bit system & drivers). See konilo.org/x86
That's the thing, the governance of the org decides what to do based on these guidelines, so the management & board decides when it is applicable.

I like the connection to Fermi. It seems to me eventually there has to be a concrete answer to the following question: Given the laws of physics, and the "initial conditions" (ie the state of the Universe at the moment of the Big Bang), what is the statistical likelihood of advanced (ie technological) civilizations occurring over time, and what is the likelihood that they go extinct (or revert to less technologically savvy conditions)? ISTM there are intrinsic numbers for this calculation, though it is probably impossible for us to derive them from first principles.
> You can't do anything without externality. It's literally impossible. The framing of energy usage as being environmentally costly is tautological.

You're completely missing the concept of efficiency.

Take the light bulb you mentioned, a filament bulb turns a very small fraction of energy used to light and the rest to waste heat. An LED is the opposite. That's why environmentalists successfully campaigned against filament bulbs instead of just shrugging saying 'entropy', 'energy usage', and 'tautological'.

It also matters if the process releases greenhouse gases or not, because those have multiplicative effects on climate change.
> We had a couple of real beauties where the users couldn't use any of the versions that were given to them and they would immediately say, "Why don't you just do it this way?" and that was obviously the way to do it.

I’d love to hear some specific examples of this. Things that we probably take totally for granted now but weren’t at all obvious during the initial design and implementation phases.

This isn’t the kind of shit you get from A/B testing.

The vast number of reports are false, which if you read the rest of the article as serious consequences. It:

* results in many high-priority calls tying up the patrols in that area so residents who have serious issues, but not "active shooting" serious, get poorer service than people in predominantly white/wealthy neighborhoods. I think you'd be pretty annoyed if something of yours was stolen and police never show because a huge backlog of calls develops while they chase down shotspotter reports, but someone in a wealthier neighborhood reports a suspicious vehicle and police show up in minutes

* results in a lot of aggressive police action with police swarming an area looking for a "shooter." Given how discriminatory and hostile police are toward the poor and minorities, this has serious consequences....ranging from residents feeling like they're constantly being harassed, to death - a boy was shot and killed by police after setting off a firecracker that the shotspotter system reported.
I’m assuming cloud backups, the way the vast majority of users back up, is what’s being discussed.

"Lawful" is the key here. What is lawful? first and foremost, a law that is constitutional (and that is not nullified by a jury).
Is that relevant? Seems to me impact is the appropriate metric.
Larger, older companies tend to reward loyalty, often the ones that are making single digit annual growth. There's not a lot of new ground to break into, so they don't need the smartest people. They just want to keep the existing money making system from breaking, so the ones who are running it are better rewarded.

It's also because the ones with the most tenure are the ones deciding how pay works.
> they're using them to cause chemical reactions, not ionize atoms or scatter off electrons

Those three are approximately the same thing.

The distinguishing characteristic of X-rays is that they remove electrons from other layers than the last one. And the most relevant feature of UV is that it ionizes atoms. (Even though what distinguishes it is that we can't see it.)

For completeness, the thing that differentiates IR from microwaves is that IR creates molecular compression while microwaves can only make matter vibrate.

The IR name is about 3 centuries old, and it's because it often comes from light sources. While microwaves are the smaller version of the short waves; from the short, medium, and long waves used on radio.

Anyway, the dividing between those is always fuzzy.
I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus with an AMD CPU and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060. It also has integrated Radeon graphics.

When using the Nvidia, the system is quite unstable (I get some weird issues with KDE on Wayland) but when using the integrated graphics it works fine. Since I only play games on Windows (this laptop is dual boot), I haven’t missed the Nvidia yet.

The WiFi has an issue though and it seems related to the adapter used. Sometimes when I boot into Linux, the WiFi is not detected (drivers can’t be loaded or something like that); things only get back to normal after power off/on.

Such systems are not secure if they don't have IOMMUs. But can always emulate everything in software and you must do so here.
Do I have an expectation of privacy in a conversation I have in public?
First off. I dont like collusion or rental pricing software that colludes across companies. However, now this means really big companies can use their own internal data to get advantages that littler players cannot. I also do not like laws that favor big companies over little ones. With the collusion software then littler companies could at least band together to get similar competitive effects that larger companies can.

I'm open to discussion of how to resolve that though, any ideas?
I actually like working, minus the business/management BS. Current $job is very good. Would love a 5h/day expectation, though. I'd work 7pm to midnight and be more productive than 9-5.
