> don't think most compatibilists think freedom relies on whether or not causal determinism holds

I guess it is technically true that they would be okay if it turned out determinism was false, since their argument is that determinism and free will CAN be true at the same time. Their line of argument is only really worthwhilein the first place if you believe it plausible that causal determinism holds. And I think most of them do (maybe it's telling that the position is also sometimes called 'soft determinism'). If they denied determinism from the outset, they'd probably be in the 'libertarianist' camp instead (not to be confused with political libertarianism).

The 'tree' of positions relating to determinism & free will is roughly:
Do you believe determinism and free will to be mutually exclusive? If no: you're a compatibilist. If yes: you're an incompatibilist. -> In which case: do you believe determinism to be true OR do you believe free will to exist? You believe determinism is true: you are skeptical about free will, to you free will is an illusion. You believe free will to exist: You're a libertarianist and believe complete determinism not to be true.

Although often much lengthier and more technical than Wikipedia, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has very well-vetted entries on philosophical topics, where the authors all are scholars in the respective topic and are asked to write introductory entries (potential downsides: English only and not always completely novice-friendly). There is one on compatibilism, too https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/compatibilism/
You mean current photoshop includes pascal code?
It does, actually. (At least the old self-hosted version that I still use does. Don't know about the newer one.)
Much of the soil in Russia that will warm is indeed acidic and largely inexploitable, which I suspect is what you were getting at; to their credit though, they picked an area that isn't (IIRC). Not that it changes much.
Fwiw keepass and keepassxc allow you to do this.
One thing arduinos don't do is things which require a GPU. So if you have a project which you want to output to a display but you also want it very low powered, because it e.g. runs 24/7, a PI is IMO the best device. Something like a Home Assistant dashboard display or a DIY smart mirror for example.
I recommend using google to see if an open-source solution for your problem already exists. If you search "desired solution site:github.com" - this will show only results from github.com - a good place to find and get open source software.

There are free AI coding tools - knowing how to use them is the challenge. lmstudio(.ai) is a good all-around desktop AI, free, and can help you pick models and manages them. All on local compute - no clouds. This will be my business excuse for having a high-end GPU going forward.

If desperate and hopeful enough, one could post the idea in a reddit thread and see what happens.
That would probably require an active monitoring and notification system outside of the extension, maybe using a flight tracker api. It could be an added option at the purchase screen. At a minimum I may add this disclaimer here.
Scams / Identity theft cost people 1 Trillion dollars a year (https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/14/24156212/google-android-a...). This is a huge problem for the elderly. I don't see telecoms preventing this adequately. So huge kudos to Google on this. Not sure what value Google would get from “Google will use your phone calls to train their AI”. They already have a huge corpus of YouTube speech data.
That's not what I wrote *Build a community or don't share*

I wrote that if you build community you have responsibility. If you don't want to build a community be clear about it.

My beef is with people who build community for "fame" and for "money somewhere along the road" - that are getting burned out because money are not there. Where we have loads of libraries by genuine people.
For me, the older kids doing cool things were smoking.

A bunch of actors smoking never did anything for me.
These type of techno-solutions are some of the root cause of those “profound failure of modern society!” The technological salve is just a further extreme causing these people’s problems! Much like there exists some societal problems, alcohol is a tiny relief, but can further exacerbate those problems, and you advocate that they drink even more alcohol because society has issues and they should escape it.

Idk how we’ve gotten away from such a natural human experience, but everyone knows damn well that the happiest children are out playing soccer with their friends in a field or eating lunch together at a park bench, and not holed up in their room watching endless YouTube.
>US emissions per capita keep falling while China’s keep skyrocketing.

It's sus to ascribe countries as bad emitters because they're developing higher QoL instead of choosing to be stuck as subsistence shitholes with low per capita emissions. The only way for countries to stay at subsistence/developing per capita emissions is to stay susbsistent/developing. Of course some wierd people think that's fine.

A fairer description is PRC's moderate per capita emissions are converging with US high per capita emissions as QoL improves because average PRC citizen wants to live as well as average citizens of high consumption developed economies. But due to various physical constraints - less square footage per, less flying, less car ownership per capita due to density, PRC unlikely to pass US per capita - they're simply not setup to enable car centric, house+lawn levels of consumption. But PRC converging with west in QoL = PRC still primed for more catchup consumption = per capita emissions still has room to climb, while transitioning energy mix tries to sustain growth via greener methods of generation.

Meanwhile US's process of "decarbonization" = also becoming net oil exporter and largest lng exporter, the latter with evidence to be much more poluting than coal due to leaky infra. Which BTW adds, ~3 tons co2 per capita to US produced emissions, which single handly negates last 15 years of US "falling" emissions. Which BTW should be accounted for US emissions just like PRC exports are calculated in PRC emissions, but conveniently isn't. Meanwhile, PRC upgrading domestic coal to be cleaner, ceased construction of coal plants abroad, is net exporting green energy. That's without bringing population growth/decline trends. US adding 1.5m to US tier of emissions is like adding 12m Indians per year.
Anything is not a useful comment. When? I'm asking for a use case, I haven't seen anyone use them for a specific reason to use Linux. I'm asking about sensors and software that works together better than using it with an MCU
Many Neolithic cultures had literal slavery, and they also have had very high levels of violence. There's nothing less egalitarian than owning another human being as a thing, as well as raping, killing and pillaging.
You're thinking too short term. If Apple does all these things, what reason is there to get a PC anymore? If they do these things, Microsoft will panic and Windows will take a devastating blow as even gamers see the Mac as just better than any PC they could build themselves.
I don't know about you, but I've been working in three workplaces where union had the power - no more. From my experience, the union staff consists of people that work in their own interest and who don't really have any interest at all to do work related tasks.

I wonder what new voices will be added to VoiceOver? We blind people never, ever thought Eloquence, an old TTS engine from 20 years ago now, would ever come to iOS. And yet, here it is in iOS 17. I wouldn't be surprised to see DecTalk, or more Siri voices. More Braille features is amazing, and they even mentioned the Mac! VoiceOver for Mac is notoriously never given as much love as VoiceOver for iOS is, so most blind people still use Windows, even though they have iPhones.

I was expecting to see much better image descriptions, but they've already announced a ton of new stuff for plenty other disabilities. Having haptic music will be awesome even for me, adding another sense to the music. There are just so many new accessibility stuff, and I can't wait to see what all is really new in VoiceOver, since there's always new things not talked about in WWDC or release notes. I'm hoping that, one day, we get a tutorial for VoiceOver, like TalkBack on Android has, since there are so many commands, gestures, and settings that a new user never learns unless they learn to learn about them.

Good riddance, considering the employee's focus on moderation. After all, most users don't like any moderation for their own personal activities, only sometimes for other people's activities.
Swiss vs. American parenting: Differences according to a US mom
I agree that it’s an outlier viewpoint but I’d love it if we moved past categorizing everything along this cartoonish left-right axis.

How about: “deep within a humanist paradigm” categorization, or something like that.
At the very least.. 51% isn’t everyone.

We shouldn’t assume who we know reflects everyone.

Apple might be counting people with broken iPads too!

This is a bit confusing in the context of OpenAI drama. The employees at OpenAI have never really lacked monetary incentives. It seems that you... can't trust people's greed when they have ulterior motives like "safe AGI".
I feel like this is easier said than done. There's not a great way (that I know of) to evaluate the quality/potential helpfulness of therapists... if only there were a Steam-like review system for them! There's ratemds.com, but not a lot of people use it, since there's not a central marketplace to find therapists to begin with (that I know of). I would love to be able to find good therapists locally and/or online. It just seems like such an expensive gamble every time.

When I was younger, I went through many therapy sessions with multiple professionals of different kinds (psychologists, psychiatrists, MFT (marriage and family therapists, social workers, etc.).

A couple of them were wonderful: thoughtful, caring, helpful, providing useful guidance with a compassionate ear.

Another couple tried to be helpful but were still in training themselves (this was at a college) and couldn't really provide any useful guidance.

One was going through a divorce of her own at the time and ended up crying in many of our sessions and having to abort them to deal with her own emotions – it was a tough time for her, and she's only human. I often tried to console her, but she wouldn't let me, so it made for a very awkward situation lol.

One of them had one a single session with me, charged me for it, and then told me she couldn't help me and to go somewhere else.

But the worst of them was an older guy who, despite the referrals and my history, thought I was faking mental illness. He dared me to attempt suicide, and when I eventually did (not because of him, but a separate romantic failure), he chuckled in my face and said, "Heh, you finally tried it, huh? Didn't think you would." This was an older psychiatrist in a small town – either the only one there, or one of very few – the kind of sleazy place that had a captive market and a whole bunch of pharma ads in the lobby, with young female pharma reps going in and out all day. What a racket =/ If I were wiser then, I would've reported him to the board and news media.

So, anecdotally, my success rate with therapists was only 2/7. To be fair, I was a pretty fucked up teenager and young adult, but still... the point is that "just find a better therapist" is often a difficult process. Depending on your insurance and area, there may not even be any other therapists with a waiting list of less than a few months, and even if you can get in, there's no guarantee they are good at their jobs AND a good fit for your personality and issues.

Think it's hard to find good devs? At least our line of work produces some measurable output (software/apps that run, or not, according to specs). How do you even measure the output of a therapist? Improvements to someone's life aren't going to happen overnight, and many never report back; the best successes may not bother to leave a review, the worst failures may end up dead before spreading the word. The rest probably just run out of sessions allowed by their insurance and try to move on with their lives, with unknown levels of positive or negative change.
Workday is a seemingly universal evil. That being said, some of my emotions toward Workday might be entangled with my feelings towards HR.
Ideally a therapist is an uninvolved neutral party in one's life. They act as sounding board to measure one's internal reactions to the outside world.

The key is neutral point of view. Friend's and family come with bias. The bias's can be compounded by mentally ill friend's and family.

Therapist must meet with other therapists about their patient interactions. The second therapist acts a neutral third party to the keep the first therapist from losing their neutrality.

That is the ideal and the real world may differ.

I'm struggling with someone that looks to be having some real mental issues. The person believes I'm the issue and I need to maintain a therapist to make sure I'm treating this person fairly.

I need a neutral third party that I gossip with that is bound to keep it to themselves.
It depends on what you're trying to achieve. If there are sufficient structural differences, you're fine (`"foo" in myThing` can discrimate) but if two types in your union have the same structure, TS doesn't give you a way to tell them apart. (This relates back to branded types.)

A good example would be `type Money = Dollars | Euros` where both types in the union alias `number`. You need a tag. In other languages, you don't.
Exactly, good luck convincing management not to do something that the infosec team suggested even though it provides an insignificant amount of security. The hackers you really have to worry about aren't using your front end, they're submitting directly to your endpoint to bypass exactly these kinds of things.
Hey, OP here. We love what dbt has done for transformation-layer engineering. But we often see companies still struggling with a mess of unstructured dashboards, even with solid dbt models underneath.

The problem is that dbt models and BI dashboards are often managed by separate teams. Quary brings the two together, letting engineers define reusable models and build well-structured dashboards on top of them in one cohesive, code-first environment.
what is a 501k? i live in the us and have never heard of that
How large is this company? If it's a small- seed/series A startup, I think it's expected you give 100% if not 130%. If you want something more laid back, perhaps you should focus on larger companies with 1000s of employees.

With that said, I do believe you should "care" about your work. Even if one task isn't the most exciting you should still care about the quality of code you contribute. After all, you will be judged by that, more than your time management skills.

Google's AI model Gemini got its name
I’m sure they know that. The text is there so that they can stand up in court and point to it, not because they think people will actually follow the instructions.
Are they including a way to block all ads, or do they just plan on taking away our choice completely? Can we not use our systems, that we own, in the way we desire?
I think the comparison to tobacco companies is misleading because tobacco is not good for anyone, poses a risk of harm to everyone who uses it regularly, and causes very bad outcomes for some of those users. I.e. there's not a large population who can use tobacco without putting themselves at risk.

But hypothetically if a lot of people would benefit from a GPT with more fake emotions, that might reasonably counterbalance concerns about harm for a mentally unwell minority. If we build a highway, we know that eventually it will lead to deaths from car crashes -- but if the highway is actually adding value by letting people travel, those benefits might reasonably be expected to outweigh that harm. And the people getting into their cars and onto the highway agree, that the benefits outweigh the costs, right up until they crash.

None of this is to say that I think OpenAI's choices here were benevolent rather than a business choice. But I think even if they were trying to do the ethically best thing for the world overall, it would be plausible to move forward

I for one found the fake emotions in their voice demos to be really annoying tho.

You're right - if you already have a static destination IP you will not.

For everyone else, however, they do have to face this situation where their forwarder is not so dumb and decrypts their traffic.

Our service prevents that, but not for IPv4. That's why we provide a reverse proxy over all major TLS ports.
I own a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. And I only use the latter for CAD work (shapr3d), even though I prefer the form factor a lot over my macbook, simply because iPadOs is useless for development.
This is a different form a manipulation.

No one is trying to change these people's behaviors. They are feeding them what they already want; reinforcing negative behaviors. That has always been very easy.

The relationship to today's political theatre is related to this discussion by comparing it to how easy it was to get everyone to smoke in the 1950's
I'm doing well regarding my self-hosting. Question is not what I want, but who can best deliver this sort of service to a wide consumer base. This will produce no extra load for ISPs, will drive little additional complexity for users (one device for internet things).

You want your stuff to be movable between ISPs, however, so your domain registrar should be separate.

ISPs are not great, true, but why not build a good one? For a change.
Which do you think has more features, this or current GIMP?
>That would be illegal

As the other commenter has mentioned, it's passed on via higher prices in the future.

>This is beside the point though. The government asks "would the average person be willing to pay $x to lower their chance of death by y%". The corporate executive asks "would I be willing to pay >$0 to lower their chance of death by y%". "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make."

Okay, but surely you don't agree that Boeing should spend infinite amounts of money making their planes safe? For instance we don't install backup engines on the off chance that all 2 engines fail. That's all I'm trying to argue, that the cold calculation/cost benefit analysis as mentioned in the OP isn't where Boeing went wrong, it's that they they undervalued the value of a human life. This was specifically mentioned in my original comment.
If that's all you have to say on this, then I whole heartedly recommend the same to you as well.
> the big change is that x86 SBCs and mini-PCs have gotten very cheap

Yes - and at the same time, the RPi has gotten more expensive, rising from ~$25 circa 2013 to $60-$80 for the latest RPi 5. Neither price including power supply and SD card. Of course the RPi 5 has more cores, a faster clock speed, more RAM, and built-in wifi so you do get more for your money.

Once upon a time, you were looking at $25 for a Pi and $250 for intel. These days it's more like $80 vs $180.
> Alcohol [has] minimal short term health risks.

What on earth are you talking about? Alcohol can kill you in a single evening if you drink enough of it. How much shorter-term could its health risks be?
I photoshopped an image with Gimp.
Now I'm curious how the NBA is structured. I always thought the "ownership" was who paid the players and signed the contracts (in essence, an NBA team is a company), and the NBA simply enforced the rules of the contracts (the "templating", if you will), but I'm sure it's much more complex than that. I made the analogy because NBA players often move from team to team and there are no non-competes keeping them from playing for another team.
Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. - https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/13-354

> While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits. If for-profit corporations may pursue such worthy objectives, there is no apparent reason why they may not further religious objectives as well.

There is no legal duty to maximize profit.
Pricing page is a bit weird. If someone can pay $1000 they can probably pay $1500 a month. It sounds like its a service that can replace an in house designer so probably.

However pricing pages shouldn't have prices like that. Is there any way to change the model to have Free, $5, $30, Enterprise (call)?

Free gets customers but you don't need to mentally worry - there would need to be something that automates everything.

$5 is also automated, but maybe one of the features that you don't get "free" is available...

Maybe this is not really what you're going for though, so treat this comment as a half grain of salt.
It is happening. It started years ago.

In 3D printing in (say) 2019, for instance: It was ridiculously common to use a Raspberry Pi with a printer -- for all kinds of reasons. They were cheap (enough), and they worked well (enough), and they were available (enough).

Few, if any, questioned whether the Raspberry Pi was the right thing to use, for it was ubiquitous and well-understood.

But when Pis became more expensive and/or less available in 2021 or so, people didn't just stop doing stuff with their printers.

They instead found alternative platforms to do things with: They bought used corpo mini-PCs, repurposed cheap-shit Android TV boxes, used old Android phones, and (of course) trudged through the weeds getting things working various other SBCs.
I am pretty sure you will change your mind after visiting my university website.
I don't understand how a hacker that's targeting US infrastructure would be considered an "opposing warfighter" in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war?
It is covered in the curriculum. They study emotional intelligence and with luck they are able to self-reflect using their education.

Actual maladaptive personalities are the result of low emotional intelligence.
Criminal proceedings in the US care about motives. It would be vastly harder to bring a case like this if there weren’t incentives to ack as they did.

Regulators aren’t at issue, but trying to avoid regulatory scrutiny is. Or as is often said it’s the coverup that they get you for.
