This is the most common counter, but it doesn’t change the fact that the ballot is not secret. Again, you’re picking ballots in public and under the active scrutiny of other voters and election officials, and there is a strong and palpable disincentive to pick ballots from the “wrong” parties, and a strong and palpable incentive for showing your neighbors and friends you pick only the correct ballots before going into the booth. Smaller parties have to come up with nationwide ballots themselves, which is often impossible. People can and do also vandalize, hide, throw away and illegally modify the ballots such that voters who show up can not vote according to their wishes. I have personally experienced TWICE having to ask the election officials out loud to restock the ballots for the party I intended to vote for, and so have countless others. I could go on. These are all known problems that the election authority themselves have pointed out should be rectified, but they never will be, because the system is working as intended.

More like “They can’t even solve poverty? What are they doing with 2/3rd of my income?” France here. Cities have to build 40% of poverty housing, by law, because, well, we’ve determined that 40% people are poor.

The benefit of not declaring income is not only taxes, but lower-rent housing as well.

My first contact with ESPHome revived an old ESP32 sunrise alarm clock project of mine whose hardware was all complete but software was half-baked shoddy C++. It has adjustable color temperature (to wake me up with blue light) and can play arbitrary MP3s as an alarm.

After discovering this power I also threw together an ESP32 timelapse device that plugs into the remote shutter port on my DSLR, configurable over Home Assistant of course. Was thinking of using the camera on the ESP32-CAM to take automatic photos of planes (computer vision??), but haven't gotten round to that yet.

ESPHome really is great for replacing the code I can't be bothered to write - it's hard to do after just having put together the hardware. The next project on the list is an environmental sensor and curtain opener for my room, using an ESP8266 and RS-232 controlled servo module (what I have laying around).

> No one researches AI because 3D printing failed.

Yes you do. Maybe not specifically, but: AI research only happens because companies and capital firms have invested billions of dollars into paying the salaries of people who do the research. AI is the latest category in a string of categories which have dominated the zeitgeist, to varying degrees of success; crypto was definitely the most recent prior, and AI definitely seems to be doing better than that.

AI is only successful because there exists billions of dollars in undeployed capital looking for returns. That's reality; and it states something similar enough to "AI is only successful because the other super-cycles failed" that the statement gets a pass; if crypto still offered strong ROI, there would be a lot less capital available for AI, and AI is extremely capital intensive.

I think your basic arguments are either:

- scraping is immoral

- we should bake DRM into the internet

There's no technical or legal difference between a scraping or web request, and I can't really believe that you think that non-scraping web requests are immoral, so I think that probably isn't your argument.

Moving onto DRM, I think most people don't want it baked into the internet. I think individual entities can choose to use it if they want--that's basically how you protect against scraping, so I think people irritated by having their content copied and thus devalued (or their ads replaced) should probably just do that.
The warmer the water, the more oil you strip away. Most people don't soap up every inch of their body, and some places (crotch, under arms, etc) are just generate more oil, and they get the soap. So with the water cooler, most of your body retains much of its oil, and our friendly bacteria can deal with excess. But if you use HOT water, you remove oil everywhere, and so the body needs to make more.

Animal fat is chocked full of vitamins, and everything the body needs. 50 years ago, before canola oil was a thing (Canada made this palatable, it was only used in animal feed before), and soy oil was used, everything was made with animal fat. I remember my mom making pies with animal fat, I remember her cooking with animal fat, people ate butter, drank whole milk, this list goes on.

Couple that with the fact that animals used to be more fatty. We've been breeding them for leanness, and in fact Canada used to be at the fore of this, and in the late 70s Canada had pork leaner than US beef!

So in a short period, we've moved away from butter and milk fats, had our animal fat marbling in the meat reduced, and we now throw away things like bacon fat (if we even eat bacon!), instead of using that fat to cook with, or bake with.

Essentially, some people eat 1/100th the animal fat their parents did.

I'm not saying we should necessarily revert to 50+ years ago. However, I think we've over done it. And one thing to consider here?

We're not like cars coming off an assembly line

Humans have variability in diet requirements. Some need more animal fat. Some need none. Some have genetic predispositions for vitamin deficiencies, too. So if you find yourself with dry skin, more vitamin D, or more animal fat may be necessary.

It's not like Bob, Dick, and Jane all need exactly 24milligrams of animal fat per day! Bob may need 10x that, Dick none, and Jane in the middle.

Lastly? Vitamin D improves the ability for the skin to make oil.

> You pointing out Tesla, the most premium EV brand with the best chagrin network

I pointed out 2 very specific aspects of tesla, the charge network and the ability to route plan with charging stops. 2 things any EV brand can pull off.

And, particularly in the case of the EU, 1 thing that affects all EV brands as there are public charging access laws which mean anyone can use the tesla charging network. It's not just for the uber wealthy. I did not say or suggest in my post that "lol, the poors should just buy teslas" as you suggest. Rather, I rebutted 2 specific points you made, that you have to search for charging stations which are far apart (not true in the EU, btw) and that the charging experience is always terrible.

You then went on a wild tangent about how much it costs to buy EVs, which was completely out of scope of the prior discussion and goalpost moving.

> as the competition to cheap ICEs is like telling peasants who can't afford bread that they should eat cake.

Like, sorry, I did not nor have I suggested that the peasants need to go out and buy EVs. Nor am I suggesting that owning one isn't something that today requires more money (as I outlined in my previous post). Owning an EV is not the right move for everyone yet every EV debate is framed as "If it's not good for everyone it's not good for anyone".

> EU voters aren't gonna be happy with this come 2035 if the EV market isn't full of cheap models with long range by then.

I agree. It's still a relatively young industry. My suspicion is that by 2035 things will be a lot more competitive as battery manufacturing has been growing exponentially and we are starting to see EV sales lag. Exponential growth in a supply with a lag in demand translates to lower prices. I can't predict exactly when (or if) this will happen. It's my best guess that it will.

> Unfortunately, the Leaf's range is pitiful compared to even the most econobox ICE. And range is very important.

Important to some, not to all. I wouldn't buy it as a primary car because range is important to me. As a secondary car, sure, it'd work great as a commuter.

But again, in case you want to reframe what I'm saying in a less charitable way, I'm not saying "EVs are for everyone and everyone should own them". Nor am I saying "everyone should buy a tesla". I'm not even saying "Used EVs are fine and there's no reason why someone shouldn't buy them."

We can both agree that ICE boxes aren't without their drawbacks right? We can both agree that there are pros and cons to EVs and ICE right? Or do you just want to say that there is never a good reason to buy an EV?

I connected an ESP8266 via serial protocol to the extra programming pins on a QMK based keypad (https://www.crowdsupply.com/anavi-technology/anavi-macro-pad...) so that it can have layers that directly trigger actions via Home Assistant API.

This is not two citizens having a private conversation. These are actions and conversations taken on behalf of a corporation. Corporations are given tons of privileges, but in exchange they have additional responsibilities that individuals do not have. If employees cause the company to violate those responsibilities the employees are generally not held directly responsible (unless they were directly violating a law). It’s the company itself who is held liable for the actions of its employees in this case.

"Providing an LLM with examples and step-by-step instructions in a prompt means the user is figuring out the "reasoning steps" and handing them to the LLM, instead of the LLM figuring them out by itself. We have "reasoning machines" that are intelligent but seem to be hitting fundamental limits we don't understand."

One thing an LLM _also_ doesn't bring to the table is an opinion. We can push it in that direction by giving it a role ("you are an expert developer" etc), but it's a bit weak.

If you give an LLM an easy task with minimal instructions it will do the task in the most conventional, common sense fashion. And why shouldn't it? It has no opinion, your prompt doesn't give it an opinion, so it just does the most normal-seeming thing. If you want it to solve the task in any other way then you have to tell it to do so.

I think a hard task is similar. If you don't tell the LLM _how_ to solve the hard task then it will try to approach it in the most conventional, common sense way. Instead of just boring results for a hard task the result is often failure. But hard problems approached with conventional common sense will often result in failures! Giving the LLM a thought process to follow is a quick education on how to solve the problem.

Maybe we just need to train the LLM on more problem solving? And maybe LLMs worked better when they were initially trained on code for exactly that reason, it's a much larger corpus of task-solving examples than is available elsewhere. That is, maybe we don't talk often enough and clearly enough about how to solve natural language problems in order for the models to really learn those techniques.

Also, as the author talks about in the article with respect to agents, the inability to rewind responses may keep the LLM from addressing problems in the ways humans do, but that can also be addressed with agents or multi-prompt approaches. These approaches don't seem that impressive in practice right now, but maybe we just need to figure it out (and maybe with better training the models themselves will be better at handling these recursive calls).
Better question; why allow them access to the market if their only intention is to abuse it?

Apple can create whatever they want, but they're going to get the scrutiny they deserve. iMessage should be an on-ramp to better communications for everyone; instead it's become the flaming symbol of Apple's deliberate negligence. This is absolutely the point regulators should be stepping in and ensuring Apple isn't headed down an anti-consumer pathway that ensures market harm.

If they got rid of all the deductions and loopholes most people wouldn't need to file as the only thing they'd have to put on their taxes is their W2 income.

I believe the IRS is even informed of things like 401k disbursement and stock sales. Meaning most people wouldn't have to submit for those either.

The gains of simplify the tax code are gargantuan, but unfortunately, the wealthy and powerful organizations benefit from the current system, and would be hurt financially by simplifying it. So, it will never be simplified.

Such a bad take, please go back to Reddit where you might be congratulated for garden variety “everyone else is greedy and evil, but I can see through them and speak truth to power”. People here have higher standards on their takes.

If all Apple cared about is making money, would they have spent upwards of 10 Billion+ on an Apple Car only to cancel it later. At its height, Vision Pro R&D cost 2 billion per quarter, yes you read that correctly, almost 25% of their yearly net profits went into development of Vision Pro Alone. Does this sound like gouging the customer to line their executive pockets to you?

If Apple executives had lined their pockets, then why is the top Apple Executive only worth 2 Billion when Apple is worth close to 3 Trillion, that is less than 0.1% of Apple’s valuation. Apple’s top executive does not even make it to the world’s top 100 by wealth. Does that not make you think?
I've been playing in my homelab in the past year with Illumos (OpenSolaris). After decades of using linux, everything is much simpler, all the linux constant changes are inexistent. Everything which was working in Solaris 10 (15-20y ago), still applies with small modifications today.

Has support for zones, which in my opinion are 10 steps above docker containers, has builtin ZFS support for root/zones/etc and so on.

Services are managed using SMF which has the only downside that services are configured using XML but usually if using only the builtin services it is not a problem. SmartOS also has a script to automatically configure the XML file.

I'm running OmniOS on a couple servers having a few zones each and I also run a SmartOS server for VMs. Launching a VM is a lot easier than on Linux. I can switch between Bhyve and KVM and use a single JSON file to configure all the VM properties and then launch the VM using a single command: vmadm create -f file.json.

All the networking is done using simple commands such as dladm and ipadm which are using the standard UNIX way.
One difference is that writing and digital communication more broadly is a far more efficient communication mechanism than in person voice communications.

It depends on what you want to do. In my case, I have a blind cat and I needed a toy that she could hear. I 3d printed a simple ball, and I made a very small circuit with a bare ESP8266, a speaker, a small battery, and a vibration sensor. The sensor resets the ESP, which plays a short song on the speaker and then goes into deep sleep.

Couple feedback points: I really hate the health system. I wish it was clearer how much health the potion recovered. I'd almost have it more like a traditional unit-like health bar and the potions recover one unit. Also having the R key so close to the movement keys made me press it in a panic several times when trying to move away. ALso allowing you to use a potion when your health is full feels really cheap. Also what about purchasing such items in the store after each level?

I never really got used to the strict 90 degrees movement and my fingers constantly got confused between strafe and turn. But I'm sure I'd get used to it in time. I'm more used to the FPS movement when this is more of an arcade-style setup.
