If my kid, when he reaches a certain age of maturity (let's all agree this number is greater than 6), wants to separate from the group location share - then that's a reasonable conversation to have then?

The grandparent poster literally said that it's the worst possible outcome if the 15-year-old _wants_ to be part of a location sharing group. If they still want it, what's the issue?

I feel like people are bringing a lot of personal baggage from their upbringing into this conversation.
Ads were always part of the Brave experience via the BAT program. Brave doesn't want there to be no ads, just ads that are non-intrusive and non-spyware. Duckduckgo does search term correlated ads as well, and I think its a fine way to build a revenue stream.
"Psychological war" sounds very dramatic, but Ms. Turkle is a sociologist with a specialization in human personality study. Hardly qualified to be an evolutionary neuroscientist, but maybe she is a good therapist.

"Not my monkey... not my circus..." as they say... =)

Indeed, Dr. Calhoun had many peers with better resources to study the phenomena. I agree that his initial interpretation was unexpected, but the later data, several papers, and peer-review is likely of better quality. Note the film clip documents a follow up study done with "Rat Utopia" that covers several of the unanswered questions of whether ecological carrying capacity features.

Personally, when I last reviewed the work I was more interested in shifts in the rates of aggression in pseudo-tournament species. Yet my interests shifted to neuromorphic computing long ago, and unfortunately it is off-topic for this thread.

Have a wonderful day, =)
Not a single one of my family members would know how to even begin to use such a payment system. Several older members don't have smart phones at all. If this is an OPTION that's great, but to make it required means a lot of folks get left out.
I'm an admitted matrix fanboy, but i hear ya about organizing in the matrix world! There certainly are opportunities for improvement. That being said, i feel like the challenges are 80% ~ 90% UI/UX challenges that need to be evolved, and maybe 10% ~ 20% protocol/architectural challenges. I have a feeling that there will be improvements from the client/app side that will create a positive jump in experience in the matrix world...of course i am biased. :-)
> I wanted to get a Framework laptop, but the wait times were over 3 months

This is exactly why Apple is thriving. People have no patience, and are not willing to wait or compromise on anything to get their powerful laptop right now.
Wow! This is an awesome observation
This strains credulity. You do not by osmosis learn how to solve the wave equations or manipulate them by playing the Tuba.

What you are doing is connecting related fields however tangential they may be and implying that learning about one makes you learn about the others which is just not true. Let's take a Music Theory student and give them a series of problems from Landau and Lifshitz, how well do you think they will do?
Obviously they're doing it for PR without having to follow through, thus the maliciousness.

What we need is a law that obliges them to issue automated refunds in cases where 100% of customers are entitled to a refund.
They were saying the Photoshop is the brand name and gimp is it’s low quality replacement.
Eventually, someone is going to solve the problem outside the law.
Yes they are. I have repaired hundreds of laptops recently and all of them were only screws. No glue.
While we're at it let's get rid of the anti-circumvention part of the DMCA as well.
Mozilla is in bed with Google. I use brave because:

* it has reasonable way of funding, crypto may suck, but it is believable they will not sell my data

* anonymous bookmark sync with multiple profiles. With Chrome and Firefox I have to sign up for each sync.

* Chrome based debug tools

* It is usable without any plugins. In some environments I do not want to install some questionable plugins, that may change ownership anytime! (It is already named "Ublock Origin", ownership already changed )

* Proprietary Video Codecs support out of the box on Linux. Some distros do not have it, and I do not want to enable community repos.
It’s not a choice when the overwhelming majority of available homes to buy have HOAs.
Thank you! I am in the East coast US, and consistently find web sites and internet-connected applications are too slow. If I am at home, they are probably fine, but on mobile internet? Coffee shops etc? Traveling? No!

No excuses! It is easier than ever to build fast, interactive websites, now that modern, native Javascript includes so many niceties.

Using JS dependencies is a minefield. At work, where I give less of a fuck, a dev recently brought in Material UI and Plotly. My god.
Very cheap and power efficient if you're willing to run in int8/int4 and have unlimited time and patience for development
And you seem to be conflating characters and letters. There are fewer letters in the standard alphabet than we have characters for the same, largely because we do distinguish between some letter forms.

I suppose you could imagine a world where we don't, in fact, do this with just the character code. Seems fairly different from where we are, though?
I create a CRM in Django CRM converting it from my popular Laravel CRM project. The default CRM mirrors SugarCRM/Suite structure. It also has some new features like unlimited relationships between modules.

The cool feature is it is also an AI powered CRM that lets you create a CRM by describing it.

pip install iceburgcrm
https://github.com/iceburgcrm/iceburgcrmpython

This is my first Django project. I tried to reuse as much code as possible so the application mirrors a Laravel application using orator, Django Breeze.

I would love any feedback and suggestions for best practices.

Description
Iceburg CRM is a metadata driven CRM with AI abilities that allows you to quickly prototype any CRM. The default CRM is based on a typical business CRM but the flexibility of dynamic modules, fields, subpanels allows prototyping of any number of different tyes of CRMs.

Features
[Unlimited Relationships between any number modules without common fields]

[Metadata creations of modules, fields, relationships, subpanels, datalets, seeding]

[Ability to Import/Export in 6 different formats (XLSX, CSV, TSV, ODS, XLS, HTML]

[25 different input types, Laravel field validation, Maska field masking]

[26 themes with light and dark themes available]

[Module based Role permissions (read, write, import, export)]

[Calendar, Audit logs, Vue3 Charts, Convertable modules, Related Fields (related to another module)]

Created With
Vue 3 for the frontend

Django for the backend

Django Breeze for routing

Orator ORM

Tailwinds with the DaisyUI plugin

Inertia for routing

I've taken the taxi, and the flights, and unless you work at it, most international flights land in parts of the world that kind of just look like America but they speak funny.

You have to actually dig and get outside the "tourist" areas to really start to get something different, and you can do that in the USA, too.
It's a lot cheaper than you'd probably realize thanks to decades of competition.

It's unlike necessities like a roof over your head, education and healthcare. These are all increasingly unaffordable thanks to a war on the working class driven by the financialization of essentials.
Yeah, mortgage debt slaves are forced to associate among themselves and pay money to the most insufferable local busybodies available. That’s the “freedom” we’re talking about here. I’m generally against big govt, but in this case I would gladly pay the same amount to the municipal government instead so that they’d maintain the road and public greenery, and otherwise get out of my hair.
If the answer is to throw up our hands and say that nothing can be done, then I'll just drive instead, because there are no beggars in my car, I don't let them in.
Foreigners buying property are not tourists.

Not all of them, but certainly many are. Plus they're often also buying to rent out to tourists.
Which proprietary free app is better than Krita?
You are confused, you are learning arithmetic to help you understand recipes. Knowing that water plus yeast plus flour in a certain proportion = bread does not teach you how to compose music and vice versa.
If anyone builds a version of this that accepts crowd sourced phone images to increase the accuracy with photogrammetry (before I get around to it) I will give you shademaps.com.
To be honest these bike storage (at least those in the three links you gave) are fuglier than fugly. It's kinda a disgrace to the human race that such monstrosities are even conceived and built...

But then people do wear Crocs, so what do I know about taste.
The answer to it being overcrowded is for prices to increase, which happens naturally over time. Things get less crowded and more profitable, more places can open up which pushes prices back down, which increases tourism, etc. etc. Eventually you find an equilibrium.
You clearly misunderstand the concept of induced demand
Agree, a motorcycle is a complete nonstarter for this reason. It’s just not responsible for anyone with a family.
It costs money to validate a new processor on an old motherboard, and no corp wants to waste money on a product they have already sold.
Convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks
Probably the vast majority of local residents aren't landlords making money on tourist housing...
You've probably heard about the Kolmogorov Arnold Network model. I've decided to implement a convolutional layer and models based on this idea.

Currently, I've implemented several versions of conv layers (1d, 2d, and 3d) of KAN, FastKan, ChebyKAN, Kolmogorov-Arnold-Legendre, Kolmogorov-Arnold-Gram and WaveletKAN.

First experiments show that it performs pretty good against vanilla convolutions on MNIST, CIFAR10 and CIFAR100:
8 layer SimpleKAGNConv achieves 99.68 accuracy on MNIST, 84.32 on CIFAR 10 and 59.27 on CIFAR100. It's the best model on all datasets, except CIFAR10: 8-layer SimpleWavKANConv achieves 85.37 accuracy on CIFAR10. More details in Readme file.

I've trained VGG11-like model on Imagenet1k (59.1 top-1 accuracy) and the weights are available on huggingface.

The repository includes implementations of ResNet-like, VGG-like, and DenseNet-like models, Unets and U2nets, training code based on accelerate/PyTorch, as well as scripts for experiments with CIFAR-10, Tiny ImageNet, and ImageNet1k.

Stay tuned, more experiments are coming. And feel free to ask a question or suggest experiment ideas.
Stop punishing people by widening roads! It hasn't been shown to decrease transit times, but it has been shown to harm local standards of living.
As you guessed, high-speed machine vision stuff is frequently used in manufacturing settings for sorting or various quality control tasks. Imagine a picking out bad potatoes on a conveyor belt moving 10s of potatoes per second, or identifying particle counts and size distributions in a stream of water to gauge water quality.
I could do with some of that!

At my age 20% the old Hampstead Heath's (teeth) are looking well dodgy.

Here on Airstrip one all the NHS dentists have either gone private or shot off to the USA or Australia to earn some proper cash.

I do a lot of self dentistry with my old dremel and araldite.

If a tooth is loose I usually extract it by tying a bit of string to it, then tie the other end of the string to the door knob, and slam the door.

Job Done!
People will never tell you if they like you or not and why

The emotional intelligence to pick up on that sub context is critical. Observe how they treat others, look for subtleties, think about them as people rather than your boss.

It really comes down to 2 things: if you had a beer with them would they enjoy your company; are you a good employee who’s not making them look bad by their managers.
By definition they are not.
I'm sorry to hear about this. Hiring manager perspective here.

First of all, no, it's not a common practice to train on bad candidates specifically. I have never heard of this and it doesn't make sense to me. Given how many candidates with solid resumes do not pass interviews, there's no need to waste time on obvious no-fits for training purposes. Many companies don't do any any sort of interview training. Those that do, in my experience, train via multiple rounds of shadowing.

Regarding feedback, almost no companies provide it. Perhaps the recruiter was new, perhaps the hiring team thought you won't take feedback well, perhaps something else. I don't think jumping to "willing to lie to my face" is the right way to think about it. Also, just because the interviewers were pleasant doesn't mean you were doing well. Perhaps there was a lot more to the problem and you weren't going to solve it all on time - again, hard to say, but you certainly can't judge by the interviewer's demeanor. When I was hiring, I wanted all the candidates to have a positive experience, even when they did not do well.

Finally, I'll be honest - you do not come off very well based on this message. It is extremely adversarial, makes a ton of assumptions, and has unrealistic expectations. This approach in fact is a lot less likely to result in feedback, because the company likely picked up on it and is not interested in debating the results with you. The decision has been made, I would suggest taking a breath and moving on. Acing the technical part is absolutely not a guarantee of hire. I have passed on brilliant candidates when the team gave multiple indicators that the person would be difficult to work with.

To be clear, I'm making assumptions here as well and it could very well be that something else is going on. But it would serve you well to introspect a bit and approach the process in a more positive, or at least detached, manner, without making it personal.
Isn't the entire tourist industry essentially based off the Grand Tour[1]? That is, an idea that became in vogue among the wealthy European aristocrats that your children must tour the grand cities of Europe to become worldly and "enlightened". It became a sort of right of passage and a signal of how wealthy your family is and how worldly and well-traveled your children are.

Businesses, liking money, noticed that if they could sell the masses on this idea it would be immensely profitable. You too - merely wealthy or even middle class person - can be enlightened like the aristocrats! A trip could change your world view! Show the world you're not a dumb, ignorant, small-minded serf-child by traveling!

And sure, I'm being overly cynical, but for a mere library fee you can probably expand your world view even more than through consumerist behaviour.

Go is a simple, well-designed, easy language to build fun things with.

If you want a language to feel clever instead, Haskell is always there.
Jonathon Frakes influenced me to pick up the trombone.
But then you have to fly on an airplane. Having accumulated a at least a million air miles in my career I am sort of done with them except for emergencies. I just have a strong aversion to airplanes and the air travel industry these days.

Guess my horizons are already expanded anyway, been all over and find hanging out in my home region fine.

I do think everyone should do at least a little safe international travel. Visit Europe once or twice. Visit a country or two in Asia. But I mostly found it made me want to be back home. I like my house, hobbies, and friends a lot. I know that sort of travel can be transformative for many, though, which is why I encourage people to do it, but I also completely get not wanting to :)
I agree, but I think we draw different conclusions. I like both having housing and being treated when I am sick.

The point of building and expanding highways isn't to reduce traffic, but enable more people to go places. Zero Highways would mean Zero traffic. a $1000 toll would mean zero traffic.
Most of the time she was wrong, but not always. For example, she correctly determined that the "UFO photo" in E.B.E (S01E17) was a fake while Mulder was completely uncritical of it. And she was often right when the cases involved something to do with Catholic theology, but I'm not sure that counts because in those cases, Mulder was the skeptic and she was the believer (as Mulder is agnostic and Scully a devout Catholic).
If you do not want to write software that works well in the antarctic mission, just don't sell to them. Government contracts are pretty lucrative though.
Surely you're aware of gzip encoding on the wire for http right?
We have a right to repair and always had, as said.

Individuals have access in the same way as repairmen. It's already possible to source parts for most appliances as an individual. This should make it easier. Indeed, what is the difference between a consumer and a "professional repairman"? None apart from the fact that the latter is expected to have some competency and knowledge on how to get parts (which traditionally means a nondescript supplier in the local industrial area, which you're free to go to as well, there are also websites these days), but there is no magic licence that gives access to secret, restricted warehouses.

But the key is that Joe Public is not interested. If something breaks down they call a repairman or buy new. It's unrealistic or utopian to believe that people are interested. It's worded as targetting professionals because it is (somewhat) realistic and, I'm guessing, aimed at using the existing suppliers, not forcing availablity of parts in supermarkets.

Or people will look back on it like the 30 years war; where if you ask them they have a vague idea of the nominal issues but are only firm in the conviction that the whole thing was (even for a war) a giant waste.
Honest ones, sure. Why would a malicious one leave behind evidence of its malicious behavior? The threat model is identical.
Oh, and look, we've got all this demand for housing that isn't being addressed at the moment.

Maybe what you're describing is a positive outcome?

You can't be "we can't build roads because it will cause houses to be built" and "it's a crisis that nobody can afford a house" at the same time.
Sometimes it is. If you desire to be naked on the subway, the government will punish you.

You don't just get to do whatever you want. The government's job is to look after The Public and ensure that most people get what they need—not to ensure that all people get what they want.
Refreshed before typing this because I realised someone might have beaten me to it! - But that's a big difference here - even though the service is gone, you got the refund and still a usable device as a controller out of it...

Spotify has taken something that could be used generically too, and just decided to brick it.

Insert something about product and consumers and how its all just some big money game or something somewhere :D
Also, frankly, I don't think a chat interface is good UX. People are having fun with it right now because it's novel. But human-human interaction doesn't use natural language because it's somehow ideal; we rely on it due to hardware limitations. We don't have the same set of limitations in human-computer interaction. And we also have a lot of history (as in, literally all of history) demonstrating that, even when talking to each other, humans quickly start straying away from pure natural language interaction whenever their communication is modulated by a technology that allows for additional options.

You can even see some of this play out a bit over the course of the web's nearly 30 year history. 20 years ago, informational websites tended to be brief, highly structured, and minimally chatty. Nowadays, people produce walls of text that you have to dig through to find the actual content. Why the change? Search engine optimization. Which I'd argue is an example of essentially the same folks who give us AI basically dragging us back to a world where natural language dominates. Not because it's actually better for anyone, but because it's what they can more easily build a one-size-fits-all algorithm around.
Which was my main point from the get go
Convince me otherwise: I don't travel because I see it as the pinnacle of vapid consumerist excess.

People who regale me with tales of their travels will recount the great food, the nice people, the architecture, the views. You burned all that fuel, money, and time to travel halfway around the world just to eat someone else's food and shit in someone else's toilet? To walk someone else's streets? Why? If you think this experience has enhanced your worldview, I think you're a fool who was marketed to. I think travel has been productized and hawked to you as a "world-view enhancing" high-status marker by the tourism industry.

The higher status attributed to "one who has toured" is particularly abhorrent. Oh, sorry, I'm just stupider with a meeker worldview because I didn't go hiking in the Alps or eat authentic Italian food or something. It's unwarranted elitism.

I think it's a superficial outlet for consumerism and a misguided attempt to attain some ostensible "worldliness" status.

My ideal is to dwell in and steward for my own village. Why do I need to go around visiting other people's villages?

Here's an ideal, from the Tao Te Ching, chapter 80:

Let the country be small,

And the inhabitants few.

Although there are weapons

For tens and hundreds of soldiers,

They will not be used.

Let people take death seriously,

And not travel far.

Although they have boats and carriages,

There's no occasion to use them.

Although they have armor and weapons,

There's no occasion to wear them.

Let people return to making knots on ropes,

Instead of writing.

Their food will be tasty.

Their clothes will be comfortable.

Their homes will be tranquil.

They will rejoice in their daily life.

They can see their neighbors.

Roosters and dogs can be heard from there.

Still, they will age and die

Without visiting one another.

I guess my question (genuine question, I do not know much about this topic) is whether the safety features in Chinese cars are on par with those from American and Japanese car companies.

Are they "better" only in ways that are immediately obvious, but "cheaper" because they cut corners on the stuff you don't notice until it's too late?

Or are they genuinely doing a better job even comparing apples to apples with other cars?
You are comparing the externalities of car driving to that of libraries
The peoples' glorious committee have never been a good way to protect property rights. Which is part of the reason why many rights are set up to not be subject to democratic opinion.
Surveys show over 70% of Palestinians supported the October 7th rape and murder of Israeli teenagers at a music festival. Forging on is not enough. Hamas and all its supporters need to be wiped out once and for all.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect the same results. The Palestinians try to oust the israelis since the 60s, tried to coup Several governments in the middle east and predominantly murdered jews that were ousted from allover the middle east. Nobody wants them, not syria, not lebanon, not saudi arabia, jordania or egypt. Everyone else in the hood just murders there minorities and life goes on. Yet, im supossed to hate the only country that does not?
Hasura and Postgraphile are quite performant. No complaints there.
