I spent 10 years without setting foot in the country I have a passport for.

I spent 2 years driving from Alaska to Argentina all on tourist visas. I spent 3 years driving around Africa all on tourist visas. Technically I could have done that without paying tax anywhere, though I continued to do so because I was working towards permanent residency in another country.

I now have a passport from a country I've never been to. I've renewed my passport from the country I was born in three times without going there.

I only need a mailing address to actually pick something up, and I usually use a friends address, or even that of a hostel or campground.
Just do it. Kagi has been my favorite $10/mo spent before this collab already.
Its not like killing you lifting a little bit more, its already so light. Its certainly appreciably much lighter than the 15 inch 2012 mac still kicking around my house. It feels easy to hold one handed even.
The first Google search hit indicates Tesla emits ~200kMT of CO2 worldwide. Where do you get 150x that number from?
> It's funny; as a regular non-ML programmer, the optimum for every one of those factors for "tabular data" would seem to me, to be to "throw the tabular data into a relational data warehouse, and ask your questions in the form of SQL queries."

It's doubly funny; as someone that comes from an ML background, and has developed and maintained multiple ML systems at multiple orgs, that I also think the answer very often is, "throw the tabular data into a relational data warehouse, and ask your questions in the form of SQL queries."
I was always surprised at how easily you get biased sampling when generating random points despite all input - something I often saw students do was essentially normalize({2rand() - 1, 2rand() - 1, 2rand() - 1}) or variations of that (where rand() is "good" not the literal rand(3)), and there are numerous other ways that are more subtly wrong. IIRC the nominally correct way for a sphere specifically is something like a=rand() b=rand() and the random point is something* like { cos(a)sin(b), sin(b), cos(a)cos(b) }[1]

I think the best illustration of "reasonable choices of what random values should be used leading to biased results" is Bertrand's paradox which I was introduced to via numberphile/3blue1brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZBwsm6B280 and am just glad that nothing I have ever needed random sampling for has ever been important :D

[1] please don't use this blindly, I'm really just going off very old recollection, if you need it google random sphere sampling :D

It is terrible decision by Nissan, but the article makes false clickbait claims about "disposable cars" when in reality all functionality prevoiously exposed via app will still be available via car touch screen.
Do you not believe in objective truth?
> You're in the minority. Most people will not think every business is responsible for that, they'll assume they're being forced into it.

They've gotten far less annoying as of late, in good part because the EU made it clear annoying the user into acceptance isn't going to fly.

But early on, when websites had the great idea to make me opt out of 78 "partners" one by one, my annoyance was not at the EU, but at the website forcing me to click 78 checkboxes, and a reaction of "WTF? Why are 78 companies being informed I'm reading an article?"

> Missing the point. Even with millions of pounds you can't convince a majority of people that is true.

Did you know the US also has equivalent banana regulations?

> Continue to miss the point here. It doesn't have to be a good idea, years of meddling made it so people were willing to vote for a bad idea. That's my point.

Yeah, to their detriment to the point that it killed pretty much every other eurosceptic movement, and apparently they're not that happy with Brexit anymore themselves either.
100%. This is something we are trying to solve with Butter Box (https://likebutter.app/box/) but there aren't great answers.

I've considered shipping a unique-to-device certificate for e.g. box123.comolamantequilla.com with each box. It doesn't solve the evil maid scenario of someone copying it, but it at least provides TLS. Realistically, our users are offline and mostly not going to verify that comolamantequilla is owned by the organization they're intending to trust.
Hmm, the OVMS project looks interesting. But I don’t quite get it, is it kind of OpenWrt project, but for cars? My car has a native support, I see.
Just wanted to mention here, though it may not be the most subject-appropriate place, that i'm fascinated by your website (allaboutBerlin) and wanted to ask you a couple of questions about it.

The contact section on your site emphatically states that you're on vacation and not answering emails, so I have to ask, would you mind if I contact you briefly by some means that works for you, at a time/date that you find convenient? I promise to be brief and not to release a flood of correspondence verbiage. Also, in case I might be giving the impression, this is not a sales pitch of any kind. Thanks!
What a delightful concept. I'm so happy to see this.
For the most people destination is likely to be Munich , it is urban center with large population and density .

People don’t think long distance trains when talking about commuting to airports, usual expectation of any urban airport is it well connected to the city center

It would be interesting to know if this is explained by the status gain of tech jobs (w.r.t more traditionally prestigious jobs). This is one of the theories that tries to explain some of the gap in preferences between man and women of equally high aptitudes.

Arguably, there's less need for arenas in C# in most scenarios than in Go because of easy object and array pooling out of box with ArrayPool<T>, ObjectPool<T> (Sdk.Web workload) and stackalloc/InlineArray and co. You can also just use malloc/free directly with NativeMemory.Alloc/Free instead.
> The main reason I use Linux is because it's the only platform that actually respects me as user.

Exactly this. And one things proprietary software nowadays sucks big is being economical with my attention and not wasting it. Imagine this: One day, I arrived at work, logged in to the Windows box, opened the web browser to read new mail messages about the thing we were furiously and deeply working and, and what I got next was some in-browser news advertisements from MSN about sexually abused teenagers. You can imagine how hard I cursed. Try to place your boss some yellow press front page over the keyboard while he/she is having their morning coffee, and see what happens.

I could see desktop Linux being higher than ChromeOS if what's being tracked is activity at websites that ChromeOS' target audience wouldn't often visit - which to your point, leads to the question of what the denominator is (all "desktop computing" form factor devices, all devices that browse the internet, are devices restricted to an intranet included, etc.)
People have been saying this for decades about tech specifically, and for hundreds of years about every major technological innovation.
No. I would go so far as to say, if it’s not uniformly random, it isn’t random.

My reasoning is, if you are counting cards in a game, you are giving yourself an advantage. But what really happens is that from your point of view cards will be drawn less and less uniformly randomly. Or put in another way, if you know the distribution is normal, you can bet on the the result being near the center and come out on top, but if it’s uniformly random distribution all hopes are out.
Is there any reason to get the quest pro over the quest 3? Or should I wait for a quest pro refresh?
DEI initiatives are inherently sexist and racist and to date I have seen zero solid scientific evidence proving that diversity is a strategic advantage.

When adjusted for factors such as lifestyle choices, women's salaries are on average 95-99% of men's[0] - a negligible difference. Intervening to enforce exact equality between men and women without taking into account lifestyle choices is in fact giving preference to women.

Women are already outperforming men in education[1]. Is it really valid to claim women are not on a level playing field anymore? We're not in the 20th century. In the UK, women outnumber men in universities[2]. White, working class British boys are one of the poorest performing demographics in education but I have rarely seen it discussed. As a British lad who left school less than a decade ago, I don't think the education system is suited to engage boys whatsoever.

Discontinuation of Amazon Appstore on Windows 11
Saltwater, gallium, iron filings, tiny ball bearings, and other solutions could be used. The latter two might be fun in conjunction with magnets - a shaped magnet on the back of the pendant would create patterns in the lights, or electromagnets could hold the conducting particles in place.

This would be a fun fidget toy, for sure.
I agree that seems a little backward, since it's not nearly as interesting to imagine the "life" of a pristine coin, but it is what it is.

These things don't have intrinsic value. They're worth what collectors think they're worth. I'd be happy if I'm interested in collecting something that is unpopular/inexpensive. Now, if anyone really cares, like if someone has their own hoard of defaced genuine coins, they can try to hype them up in normal ways, write editorials in trade mags, talk at coin shows, or, most likely get numismatics influencers to hype them up, etc.
In any case, it get this article generated a lot more sales than this guy could ever cost. Trains are a lot like hotels. You want to fill every spot you can, even at low marginal value because marginal cost is all but zero.

Tenstorrent Launches Grayskull Devkits

It it what happens when you try to make an universal API for any thinkable and unthinkable use-case.
You can get something somewhat similar to Firefox Focus in regular Firefox for Android by enabling the option to open in Private tabs by default and turning on tab auto-closing. That's what I did for a while when there were indications that Firefox Focus was about to be abandoned (which never actually happened).

Even better though, now that Add Ons are opened up on Firefox for Android you can install Cookie AutoDelete. Then you just use regular tabs and can keep your Kagi cookies (and any other sites you regularly log into) but have it nuke every other site.

There is also a Kagi Add On. It didn't do pretty much anything when I first installed it last year but it might work these days.

Oh, and finally, there is the Kagi Session Link you can use that embeds a token in the URL so that you can more easily use it for something like a search provider in Incognito/Private tabs.
Welp, it will have been nice while it lasted!

Thank you, Microsoft, for continually yanking genuinely useful features and shoving shit down our throats that we neither want nor need, but that some marketing grunt figured was the new shiny.
People casually doing things that feel slightly evil is... disconcerting.

Not going to judge anyone, but also nothing to be happy about.
Funny enough, I was just watching a video from Peter Zeihan, where he's talking about most of the Western world is currently in recession (or close to it). Noteworthy is that North America is doing ok.
At first I thought "not gonna watch a 6+ hour stream", but decided to give it a go anyway. Those who are interested and have at least ~some assembly background may find all the funny things in the first 10 minutes of the first video, and that isn't even a highlight compilation. I understand the problem much deeper now :) thanks!

Which is great, but it seems that nobody is guaranteeing freedom of action to men.

Just as women should have the freedom from parenthood, so should men. But if a woman chooses to have a child, the man is still compelled to fatherhood, at least from a financial perspective.

And in France specifically, you have no right to know if you are actually the presumed father via paternity test.

So while this is some degree of progress, the already-enormous disparity of reproductive rights has widened even more.

Claude 3 seems much better than GPT4 at Python as of yesterday'ish, it's better at longer contexts (pasted 900 lines for example) and just a little better at organising and planning code. so much fun! Also getting fast!
On mobile incognito you'd need to access that session link and go from there. You cannot just use the address/search bar, as mobile browsers like Chrome do not include a config to put the link.
We build Butter Box, a tool for making life offline a bit smoother.

It's based on this same principles and in fact, one of the creators is friends with Jason :-)

Ours is tailored for scenarios where Internet is unavailable due to disaster, government shutdown or simply cost. It has an app store, an encrypted (matrix) chat server with a simple web UI, and maps (since you probably didn't download google maps for you area before the Internet went out).

We localize the boxes (mostly for central and south america) and have sent a few dozen around the world to communities with various use cases.
North Korea is known to be a widespread user of high-quality counterfeit US currency (“superdollars”) and widely suspected (and there are defectors who have supported this and described details of different parts of the operation, though their remains some uncertainty about the accounts) of being a major producer of such counterfeits.

OTOH, high quality counterfeits are expensive and there is lots of energy directed at identifying counterfeits and, once identified, dealing with the production and distribution (and even if you are a state actor that thinks your production is safe from outside retaliation, the channels you use to benefit from it in interaction with the outside world are generally not), so a literal unlicensed money printing operation is not as much of a metaphorical license to print money as it might naively seem.

I guess I just don't understand this 'no rules' mentality. If you put a chatbot on the front page of your car dealership, do you really expect it to engage with you in a deep political conversation? Is there a difference in how you answer a question about vehicle specification based on whether you have a "right" or "left" lean?

Yes, that car dealership absolutely needs to censor its AI model. Same as if you blasted into a physical dealership screaming about <POLITICAL CANDIDATE> <YEAR>. They'll very quickly throw your butt out the door, and for good reason. Same happens if you're an employee of the car dealership and start shouting racial slurs at potential customers. I'm gonna say, you do that once, and you're out of a job. Did the business "censor" you for your bigoted speech? I think not...

The purpose of the car dealership is to make a profit for its owners. That is literally the definition of capitalism. How does some sort of "uncensored" LLM model achieve that goal?
I don't think the whole postmodernist, nothing means anything take really adds any support to the Catholic church being fundamentally right. As a kid who caught a condition that causes me disability and chronic pain to this day, all I can say is that if god exists, he's a fucking dick.
That wasn't a hard line to push. I don't know many people in California that think it's a good idea. In a decade we'll have a train that is moderately faster than driving from Merced to Bakersfield. Seeing as how most people don't want to end in either endpoint, what is the plan once they get there? Rent a car? Not exactly money well spent according to most locals.

That said, the HSR rail funding is largely funded by a proposition. It would not be possible to redirect that money.

>Prop 1A funds cannot be allocated to another project/program e.g. housing,
schools, etc. due to the Bond requirements that voters approved.

So compute requires vendor lock in? That seems silly to me.

Edit: Can we just acknowledge that a lot of the bells and whistles are for the companies benefit at the expense of the user? Thats their right, but it's also our right to want something better.

The jazz/classical split is a false dichotomy. Bill Evans more or less implies that he saw himself as coming out of the classical tradition: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QwXAqIaUahI

Isn't this just "managing up"?

Yeah, I got that. The reason I asked is that to me it is a genuine question. I would have thought that with all the effort that is going into component frameworks (and into js runtimes too), the performance difference would be small either way. As it has happened with compilers in a sense.
(2002), or as it says (20002).

Enjoy this set of pages. Clearly done with love. And shows how the 3:16 method -- "the way of the cross section" -- works. Unfortunate that he had to spoil the joke in the "story of O" page, but I guess it was necessary. Otherwise, the ending is quite enough:

> But a small number of unpatriotic, troublemaking skeptics now suggest that the "World Wide Web" may have contained tiny amounts of false or misleading information and should not be considered completely trustworthy. Some even conjecture that there were satirical or ironic websites, deliberate parodies of the truth. Such cynicism is, in our view, despicable.
