Israel is a state and Jewish people are an ethnicity/religion. It is nonsensical to suggest that they are synonymous — what other country in the world can you say that a country is identical to its people? If I criticise the Chinese Communist Party I’m not guilty of Sinophobia, why is Israel any different?

When Israel does something wrong, like kill civilians and/or foreign aid workers, do the Jewish people all over the world collectively bear the guilt of it? Obviously not. You can’t have it both ways.

You’ll find these bad ideas never really die. Look and you’ll see it throughout time and location. Russia, Germany, the U.S., Japan. Tyranny isn’t something accidental, exotic or mysterious. People take their eye off the ball and get clobbered with it from time to time.

I’ll always argue we’re better off with a world war than tyranny, but the whole goddamn point of the UN Charter is to prevent both. The lesson was learned. It was written down. And we’re still fucking it up again.
Good. No one needs to be incentivized to buy a gas burning car (hybrid) even if it has better mileage than a 4runner. It always was a ludicrous idea.

Thankfully that is how a lot of AI is working right now, open source models for both LLM and Stable Diffusion let people have access to uncensored reasonably decent quality AI tools.

In other categories of AI generated content though, such as speech and music, the open source alternatives are either lacking or completely absent. And with the company behind Stable Diffusion being on the verge of financial collapse, we may see Stable Diffusion fall far behind it's closed source counterparts.

One thing that eased a lot of my anxiety while transitioning to an independent adult was the knowledge that I could survive even without a home or job. My parents did a real good job teaching me how to live on my own and how to focus on the basics. Camping was a real good introduction to this.

As long as I have a $20 tent, an okay sleeping bag, and the clothes on my back I'll be okay. The real shame of our society is that so many people have been forced to live that way because of the greedy few.

I have wondered if this technology could be used in open loop mode where the sand is replaced with some material that you want to thermally process. For example, olivine particles that become more reactive with CO2 (for mineral carbonation for CO2 sequestration) after being heat treated. Run the particles though once and use them afterwards.

This is not an logically coherent argument against linux it's basically admins being scared of having their decades of investment into wintel ecosystem devalued.

The problem is that because your applications is windows specific your not comparing windows to linux your comparing whatever legacy mess of custom applications that people use to get their job done to whatever your replacing you win32/winforms legacy stuff with(which is something you have to do anyway as that platform is dying).

"All My Sons is based upon a true story, which Miller's then-mother-in-law pointed out in an Ohio newspaper. The news story described how in 1941–43 the Wright Aeronautical Corporation based in Ohio had conspired with army inspection officers to approve defective aircraft engines destined for military use.The story of defective engines had reached investigators working for Sen. Harry Truman's congressional investigative board after several Wright aircraft assembly workers informed on the company; they later testified under oath before Congress. In 1944, three Army Air Force officers, Lt. Col. Frank C. Greulich, Major Walter A. Ryan, and Major William Bruckmann were relieved of duty and later convicted of neglect of duty." [1]

I haven't really used a WYSIWYG word processor in almost a decade (I like Pandoc), so these are old memories, but I remember feeling like the interface to OpenOffice (before it was split into LibreOffice) was more intuitive than MS Word 2007 and beyond. I feel like they doubled down on 90's-era MS Word-style interface, which I personally have just found to be extremely intuitive and easy to work with.

That said, the equation editor for LibreOffice and OpenOffice utterly sucks. This bizarre, quasi-TeX, quais-WYSIWYG interface is extremely unintuitive and hard to work with. The equations themselves generally render fine, but back when I used OpenOffice on Windows I purchased a copy of MathType and would OLE equations in. This didn't work on Linux, which is why I stopped using LibreOffice.

The next step I have used and seen recommended after recoveryOS is single user mode, which is what I think I used to solve the same issue on an old mac. I vaguely remember another reason I used single user mode where recovery mode failed but I do not remember any details.

My bet is that you can get nearly the same functionality with single user mode vs booting from external media, but I only have a vague understanding of the limitations of all three modes from 3-5 uses via tutorials.

That's not what Euclid v. Ambler did, however. We had controls on legitimate health and safety concerns (e.g., pollution) prior to that ruling. The ruling dramatically increased the scope of police powers expressly and specifically against housing - things like floor area ratio, setbacks, number of habitable units, heights - that had not been within that scope before. It was unabashedly racist and classist, even in the text of the opinion.

One can get higher round trip efficiency (practically, perhaps 65%) using pumped thermal storage. Here, one uses some thermal cycle in reverse to separate "cold" and "hot", then reverse that to discharge. This also reduces the maximum temperature needed to maybe 500 C, below the creep limit for cheap steel. The cold end would be maybe -100 C, stored in something like liquid hexane.

> That sounds awfully complicated modifying a recursive algorithm to control the recursion depth.

An easy way to do it is to just pass a separate "depth" integer parameter into the recursive function. It then passes that +1 when it makes a recursive call. At the top of the function, if the depth is above your chosen limit, you bail out in some way instead of continuing to recurse.

> you detect that situation and make it work.

If you really do need to "make it work" for arbitrarily-deeply nested inputs, then you are actually better off using a heap-allocated stack instead of recursion.

But in most cases, a recursive implementation will only exceed the stack if the input is malicious or pathological and you can just fail in that case.
Thanks that's fair criticism. There's definitely a big difference between Grandma down the street and John congressman the political animal.

Though even among politicians I've found the same patterns. There are a higher percentage of partisans than in the general population, but they still have the same underlying motives. In my experience they tend to be more jaded, and tend to overly trust others or under trust based on the color of jersey they are wearing, but they mostly have good motives*

The Great American Rail-Trail
The Acquired podcast did an episode on the history of Visa that covers a lot of how the credit card industry works.

As another commenter noted, this article doesn’t pull out clearly how this whole credit card reward scheme actually works. The Acquired episode does, by the end.

It works like this: the ‘luxury’ credit card providers, partnering with Visa, take money away from merchants in order to extract profit for themselves while keeping the credit card consumers happy. The merchants are pissed about this, and regularly make lawsuits to regulate interchange. The money extracted by the credit card companies and Visa causes merchants to raise prices for everyone regardless of whether they have a rewards card or use a credit card at all.

This creates in effect a massive money transfer from the poor, who do not use rewards cards, to the rich consumers who do. The Acquired podcast provides specific numbers on just how much worse off poor consumers are given this system, and how much the richest consumers benefit.

I come from Australia where interchange fee regulation tamps down on the kind of credit card mania and fetishism seen in the USA.

I don’t think it’s as much that consuming less is important from a philosophical standpoint as it is a practical one. Buy a new phone and you’ll spend time on the transaction and transferring information etc.

There’s a huge influence to always consume more pushed by anyone selling stuff and ever nicer stuff to buy. However, every transaction has a non monetary costs and staying ahead of the curve costs time even if you don’t need to worry about money.

It even extends to exotic vacations and other life experiences people promote. Sure you can got to Antarctica but the going itself means airports etc. Not a big deal once but if you had unlimited money would you really want to spend 5% of your waking hours in an airplane? The point of maximum happiness is far from such extremes.

Such a person would be still paying that tax indirectly as it would be funded by any payments for the "land they use" e.g. housing rent would be directly influenced by that land tax, just as the prices of services (rent can often be ~30% of the base costs of urban service providers).

>when people are fat and depressed because their evolved circuits have been so thoroughly hacked like moths to a flame

People in America are fat and depressed because of a culture of looking to blame biology for poor self control rather than take responsibility for their own behaviour. Advertising is just as much of a thing in East Asia but it doesn't have the obesity problem that the west has, because there it's regarded as a personal failing. Advertisement was just as much a thing in America 50 years ago as it is now, but people weren't fat and depressed then, because people were told to take responsibility for their diet and their state of mind.

Willpower is like a muscle, it's been proven to strengthen with use. Letting people get away with blaming advertisement, biology or whatever for their failures prevents them ever needing to develop their willpower.
