Hrm? When I think of things I tend to see multiple possibilities at once, and then decide which I think is the most reasonable, and go from there. Similar for emotions. I'm well aware of my emotions but can control them. And I think not doing so would be quite a poor way to behave.

Perhaps it's that we all think in somewhat different ways, yet because our own mind is the only one that we will ever know - we simply posit that everybody else must think the same way, or at least quite similarly. For instance there's that weird datum that supposedly some huge percent of people don't have an inner monologue, at all. I find it extremely difficult to believe, but if it were true then it would certainly be much easier to understand how somebody else might not believe in free will.
I’m an automotive EE.

This may be a rating you heard somewhere but the truth with practical real-world use is… debatable.

If you run these in a lab, ok, maybe, according to someone trying to sell you batteries.

If you run your vehicle at a spread of -20F to 120F, absolutely not.

I can promise you that the vehicles we are working on go past 2032 and they’re all still ICE.

These EVa are just not replacements for ICE. They make great supplements and town cars. It’s a marketing failure, and I’m not sure the pie in the sky “your car will fail before your battery” claim is helpful.

I’m pretty sure the only people that would jump on that are EV owners, which I am, and don’t.
You can vote out your own representatives, you cannot do the same for China. If this isn't an obvious distinction to you, maybe consider why.
Hmm, might as well be the medium. The more inflammatory exchanges tend to happen on Twitter, which does lend credence to your explanation.

But still, I'm not sure that whatever we know about interacting with the other group will hold true during wartime.
Some surveillance may be unavoidable but disproportional surveillance is not. Surveillance in one direction is by design.

The agenda and expectation of modern governments is that the most possible surveillance be deployed outward, toward us - while obfuscating every possible avenue to peer back (and hold them accountable).

Gov officials (especially LEO) never, ever voluntarily submit to being viewed, monitored and examined. That demand is placed exclusively upon us.

This is not ethical.
My Diogenes answer would be to walk across the room and slap you: “if I didn’t chose to do it you cannot be angry at me.” That’s tongue and cheek sure, but the point I feel stands.

Free will is certainly constrained, and our material and biological conditions do matter - there’s no amount I can will to make myself fly, but they are not necessarily as rigid of constraints as many would have you believe. We can overcome our biology, our predilections, and many of our shortcomings. We have to consciously choose to do so though.
You'll need to do better than "pedo-guy" to quality your statement.

What you call "disagree" was actually a public attack from the diver out of nowhere. Musk didn't know him. The guy went to the media and claimed Musk was acting in bad faith by offering a sub to the rescue efforts, and that "Musk can shove his sub up his rear end." It was inexcusable slander out of nowhere. Musk admitted to reacting poorly, apologising more than once including in court. Diver guy tried to sue for $190 million (yep seriously) but was awarded nothing by the jury. Why? Because diver guy was Dickhead A, and Musk was Dickhead B, in a grumpy trash-spat that distracted from the real issue of rescuing the Thai boys. The sub ended up going to the Thai Navy who said they could use it for future rescues.
Semispace GC takes O(N) for a live set of size N. You're also ignoring the work to actually free which is generally slightly super linear. I'm also not sure what hard means in that case.
I think this is a pretty commonly held belief at this point in time, and I'd be somewhat surprised if you could change even a single American TikTok user's behavior by convincing them of it, since, anecdotally, people seem to lump it in with their general feeling that tech and advertising companies already harvest and share vast amounts of personal information, and conclude that protecting that information is a lost cause, and they may as well use the fun app.
For the human or the LLM?
Oh dear, there is no such a thing as accountable backdoor. Encryption is there for a good reason, and its whole purpose is to prevent unauthorized 3rd party access. Adding backdoor will defeat the purpose as no one can guarantee it will only be used as intended to.
L in SOLID refers to Liskov substitution principles.

It's the only one from the SOLID list which can be typechecked - others are design principles.

"Flow adhering to it" means that violating code will be flagged by type system.

It matters because unlike other principles, violations can cause runtime errors.
Humans are good at adapting, so when events like droughts or floods come along, we look at ways to adapt to that.

Some years ago we had a drought here. Now lots of residential houses have water tanks collecting (at a minimum) rain water. Some are supplemented by ground water, via well points etc.

Once you have this, this water is useful in lots of cases. We use it for toilets, watering plants, washing outside spaces and cars, top up the pool, plus other random things like mixing cement or washing the solar panels.

When there's too much rain coming off the rook, and the tanks are full, we route the rest into the ground (literally down the well).

Our domestic water consumption has dropped around 50%.

Although we don't filter it, it "sits" in a tank for several days before being used (and we draw from not-the-bottom) so its pretty clean when we use it. Obviously not drinkable though.
> the trick is shifting focus from farther away back to close

Hence the 20:20:20 guideline that says after 20 mins of near work, one should spend at least 20 seconds looking at an object 20 feet away. The same principle applies to extended contraction of your arm, core, eye or other muscles.

Even if China worked as a rule of law country, which they explicitly don't, what you're saying is still exactly the same as the previous commenter: you can't lawfully operate in China unless you actively monitor and censor any text you make available. If a user comments in a review on your bakery website that these cookies are so good that even Winnie the Pooh (hint hint) would like them, and you allow that review to be visible, then you are in violation of Chinese laws.
> I also wonder if the the KSA should be forced to divest from Twitter.

There is no equivalence. The KSA has no ability or ambition to shape the world. The royal family just wants to keep their kingdom business running, and even for that they're dependent on the US.

Foreigners weren't breaking our laws in 1934 when we banned them from owning radio and TV stations. Are you all really that poorly educated in US history? Have schools really deteriorated that much in the 35 years I've been away from them that kids don't know we have laws governing mass media in this country?
It’s alarming to me that you think the owners of arguably the most successful social media company in the world would sell it only to appease a single country. It comes off as a typical American perspective of thinking they’re the center of the world. At TikTok’s current global growth rate, they could exceed the entire user base of the USA in just a few months. I’m not sure how that user share corresponds to revenue as I’d assume the US is a lucrative market,but I just don’t see it. And TikTok has directly said they won’t be divesting.
You can’t choose what you will think about? How do you get through the day? Are you just frequently blindsided by random non-sequiturs that derail you for hours? I routinely chose things to think about or things to concentrate on.

It’s not like all thoughts leap into my mind fully formed either. Hell, I edited this message before hitting reply.
I own a house, but my sister doesn't. She does worry about the impact of high property prices on her future, but I've never heard her express the kind of pessimism about the future of her life-in-general that you do. Her main focus right now is not property, it is trying to get into medicine. But that's the thing – so long as a person has a goal they are working towards, whatever the goal might be, that gives them hope and reason to live. When someone no longer has any goals that they believe are achievable, that's when they become hopeless.
I don't think you've been paying attention then. It's already happening.

-For example, try saying something critical about China or something in defense of Taiwan. If the post gains traction, your account will get banned.

I often see people online extol the virtues of China's progress, it's technological advancement, it's focus on the climate and equality for people, etc. I say this as someone who has lived in China, and I even like China, but people buy into the bullshit. China isn't some utopia. There are many good things about it, but there are a multitude of odious aspects that get glossed over.

This is about sowing dissent and creating doubt in our values.

I don't think you have any business making so many comments in this thread when you have no idea what is going on.
> Look how many times the CEO of Singapore was questioned if he is Chinese. Maybe the Congressman thinks Singapore is also a part of China.

74% of Singaporeans are ethnically Chinese. The Congressman's questions are not unreasonable in questioning if the CEO has some ties with mainland China.
Why would you ever want to write data on an element as a property instead of an attribute? Yikes.
This. I wonder why everyone in the security apparatus acts as if they will never be affected by these kind of requests. I can only imagine two possible answers:

1. They trust in legal exceptions for themselves (look at EU chat control exceptions), which implies a thinking closer to the Soviet Union than a real republic.
2. They think they're already compromised by "the Chinese" or any other state actor and just feel incompetent themselves.
Well, assuming you booked this as one ticket (the two were with the same airline) then usually they will refund everything. I assume that isn't changing

However, if you have two airlines and one failed to get you to the airport for the second flight, the second airline doesn't owe you any compensation, but the first will.
Buzzkill! Everybody else on here was having fun opining that it's 100% certain that China pulls the plug, or conversely that a sale will happen, and you just had to point out that it's an empirical question where nobody can read the CCP's mind. Boo.
Is this actually true? I know the text sounds really nice. Also citing nicely crafted words from famous poeple helps.

I guess roughly, this is right. But there's more to add. I have a brain with a certain configuration. This configuration is partly genetic and partly environmental. The environmental part has been shaped by every sensory input so far, including all the books. However, some books resonate well. They make me think about the topic weeks after finishing them. Other books don't resonate at all. My brain's is not fit for them. It just ja sequence of words (e.g., the books my high school literature teacher made me read).

I guess humans aren't a ANN that treats every training sample equal. Our brain has a mechanism to put more or less weight on sensory input given previous input. Some ideas are utterly confusing and don't stick at all. I think this happens a lot when people of different religions or political camps interact.

It seems like the backlash to that user has severely impacted their mental health.

All of this is fucking stupid.
> The KSA has no ability or ambition to shape the world.

This seems obviously false. They host conferences talking about how they want to shape the world. KSA has interests, and they will want to use any power they have to further their interests.
I like classes well enough; I just find that often they over-complicate simple code, especially when you introduce inheritance. Since classes are effectively just syntax sugar I often find it's more intuitive to go with object syntax but to each their own. So long functionality is isolated in modules I'm happy.
This is a good and extensive guide.

Most guides out there work with dev boards that are powered by usb. It's great to see a section dedicated to power them with alternatives like LM-1117.

I'm still hoping to find a guide dedicated to power management of espxxx boards that includes guides for powering them with a range of sources like coin cells, aa, lithium, 9v, 12v batteries etc along with a primer on different features (like sleep modes) and their impact on power consumption to maintain the battery life.

I always see mentions of all these interesting diy projects but not how they are powered. So, its difficult to get a complete picture of the maintenance needed and their usefulness in the long term.
Comparing wintermelon and oranges. Live a few more decades and then your definition of "objective" may face reality. The higher education system of the US is selectively excellent, but 0.5-0.75% of Americans have top tier university degrees. Only 39% of Americans have any college degree at all, but this includes online and colleges that accept anyone. Fewer and fewer Americans read books of substance, or any books at all. America is deeply anti-intellectual from its founding arising from the culture of English settler merchants, with a tiny core of intelligentsia that grew around exiled religious movements.

a. Quantitatively

- Reading: Canada is 3rd, America is 24th

- Science: Canada is 7th, America is also 24th

- Math: Canada is 9th, America is 39th

^ There should be negligible differences between them given vast similarities.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/02/15/u-s-stude...

b. Qualitatively - Meet and talk to enough people from Asia (Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, China) and Europe (Iberian and Eastern) & UK. And then talk to many Americans from anywhere other than from the coasts. Conspiracy theories, misinformation, MAGA, and QAnon are the mainstream norm rather than the exception. The difference is: they don't have government censorship, a totalitarian regime, or social credit habits as an excuse for their ignorance. There are billboards with borderline racist MAGA slogans in the South US.
Apple Didn't Just Dramatically Cut Vision Pro Production Due to Weak Demand
This thought experiment is deeply flawed as it assumes that what you propose is possible and the outcome would be as you suggest. I am not convinced that people can bootstrap themselves like this and that language itself does not contain views, values and perspectives.
There was no evidence when we banned foreign TV and radio ownership in the US in 90 years ago either. What's your point? Are you suggesting we cannot make preventive laws about mass media? If so, you should read a book because you're under informed in this area.
I have exposure to people through my family and other close friends, why do I need to swap germs with my coworkers and their kids and their classmates?

The court saw it for what it was. An immature spat between two grown men who should have known better. If your takeaway is that YOU can now use that slur against others, it doesn't say much about your position, which I presume is anchored to "MuskBadMan".

This is what most people don't know, that TikTok itself is banned in China.
Ironically we’d see far fewer overdoses and a lot less drug-related violence worldwide if America would legalize the drugs people are going to take in America regardless of drug laws. You didn’t pick a great example.

Is there a reason not to use X-ray for everything now? Dental and veterinary X-ray systems are under $1000 on Alibaba.

If you're stitching images together, that solves one of the primary problems with using these x-ray systems for semiconductor analysis.
We don't need proof. We didn't have proof of anything 90 years ago when we banned foreign ownership of our TV and radio stations. Are you really this ignorant to US history? Do they not teach US history or civics in school any more?
Expressive Avatars powered by Synthesia's EXPRESS-1 model mimic human emotions
This news is completely within the country's character and doesn't come as a surprise when you've been following Australian news. Their government can already legally coerce citizens who work for foreign companies into compromising their employer while gaging them from informing said companies.

I'd go as far to say that this is a good thing. This law makes the risk of using Australian products more explicit.
That was restricted in previous actions by Facebook, according to Zuckerberg's testimony. So today, you do need to control the platform.
Since the crypto (currency) craze of 2017, every time I hear "consumer GPU" somewhere in a story that has nothing to do with gaming, it sends a chill down my spine.
> The need for tricks like this (and other complicated types) is simply not there.

It just depends on how constrained by types you want your code to be and how much time and effort you're willing to spend maintaining and writing code that fits within those constraints.

Sometimes complicated types are introduced because you want to maintain editor features such as find by reference and the ability to refactor later. When it works, removing or adding new features feels fast, easy and safe.

In the articles case you could differentiate between an email string type and a user id string type. Maybe sometime in the future you want to change the id to an integer instead, so now that it's already distinguished you could find all those places where that's applied.

That's at least a selling point, in practice I've used this a few times but it doesn't come up that often. Sometimes the blast radius of a type isn't big so it's not worth doing.
Giving a knowledge of a language is a _huge_ external input, intertwined with culture and life experience of the language teacher.

And the smaller the external input we give to this group of toddler, the more they will resemble a violent pack of chimps in the end. Unlikely to develop their own values and perspectives.
Regulation to ensure media is unbiased sounds on the face of it impossible. Anything that looks "unbiased" simply shares the same biases as you.

Oh helicopter parents existed back then too.

And these days, there are still plenty of parents that let their kids run wild.

I don’t think anything has changed.
I'd take issue with your first sentence. The most challenging task is to distill a difficult topic into something that can be quickly understood. That inevitably takes time. When I write rapidly and unreflectively I often make readers confused.
Yes, Musk is in the same category. You can hate his opinions, sure, but to not respect him in some form or fashion just betrays an ignorant worldview IMO.
Just to clarify, any flight which originated in the EU for any airline, or any flight coming into the EU operated by a EU airline (important for codesharing the operating airline counts not the issuing). Also the amount of compensation depends on delay and overall length of travel.

I have purposefully been only booking on EU airline operated flights only after having been bitten twice before where I missed a connection and had to wait 7h (my home airport has only very few flights to the major intercontinental hubs, meaning any connection delay ends hub being quite significant). I have collected several thousand euros in delay compensation since then (multiple airlines) , never had to fight the airline to get it, simply filling in a form.
Bots are great time savers when learning new technology and for doing tedious tasks. For example, I'm learning Rust and using a combination of GPT-4, local llama3, and Codeium helped me to write more Rust-like code. They can generate schema definitions from sample XML data that I use in Spark, and generally help me write better and idiomatic PySpark/Spark queries. Afterward, you wouldn't be able to tell whether the code was written by someone with years of Spark/Python/Rust experience or a noob like myself. As long as you're fluent in some related tech stack (like Scala, SQL), I find bots can get you there quickly. They also work best when combined with TDD / test-first. I get decent results when I let the bot focus on smaller aspects. When I'm unsure or the code has issues, I take it to the other Bot to find alternative solutions. This way, I can quickly get an idea of what you can do in the language, including lesser-used features. Finally I get unit tests and documentation for free.
Optometrist legal liability for driving license exams are one contributor to incremental over-correction over a human lifetime. One can manage this risk by taking the eye exam first thing in the morning (vision deteriorates over the course of a day) and wearing weaker glasses when not driving, or during near work.

Well mass manipulation of the people is how the USA functions. This is what Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman wrote about extensively in their book Manufacturing Consent from 1988. So it is no wonder it works when other people do it too. I agree though, it is sad, or frustrating, upsetting, infuriating, that the USA works like that.

I wish that was the case.

However, as a friend of human liberty, I cannot forget the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. [0]

While I would like to agree that KSA doesn't care about the rest of the world, and each culture should have their own space, the bone-saw story does prove that there are human factors which bind us all together. We all do live on one small rock, after all.
