> The money is not put on a pile and set on fire.

In a small way, it kind of was. We used the money to produce weapons and ammunition. The producers took the cash and provided the arms. In an ideal economy, both sides would have a net gain: the producers reap profits, and the military uses the goods for a goal it (supposedly) believes is more valuable than the money spent.

But we shot the ammo, used the rifles, and detonated the bombs. And the USA didn't achieve the valuable goals it promised. So, while the arms manufacturers came out ahead, the military was left with little value. If they had put that money into research or upgrading bases overseas, then there'd be civilian profits and nice things the military could use for years.

It's not wrong, but (almost all) T2D arises from insulin resistance through damage to islet beta cell function. Some people with insulin resistance do not develop T2D (because they still have fully functional beta cells)

The authors admit they still need to look at T1D. They say:
"As for the limitations of this study, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the residual endogenous islets benefitted from the surgery and acquired functional improvements. Therefore, an increase in sample size and additional trials of T1D patients with complete loss of islet β cells will help draw definitive conclusions on the causative role of E-islets in the achievement of glycemic targets."

The change to unibody construction in the 70s/80s and the more-recent move to 'gigapressing' an entire car with body work has unfortunately made repair much more difficult.

In the past body shops would realign frames, pull body work back into shape, and weld in new pieces but it's just not safe and practical to do that with unibody vehicles even if you did have the tooling and machinery to ensure that it was done right and everything is actually back into factory spec and alignment.

It's almost a shame that the electric vehicle 'skateboard' concept (essentially a rolling chassis in industrial/truck vehicle terminology) didn't really get anywhere - but I have to imagine that design constraints, extra weight from attaching the body to the chassis, and other relevant factors that pushed us into unibody vehicles in the first place also made concept unfeasible.

Sure, and we also didn't have the fucking insanity of step-up-basis and our current approach of literally not taxing the accumulation of wealth, ever, for those at the top of the pyramid. We also had unions.

We can trade examples all day but the fact is that the tax burden on the very wealthy has plummeted and income inequality has skyrocketed. Those are broad measurable facts.

Things suck more as a result. I'm not a young guy, I've watched the change.
That is fair enough, I agree with you. However I felt that in this instance the OP was poking fun at stereotypes, and that countering it with statistics was the wrong thing to do. However OP has now apologised and I have done the same. Next time I will consider your words, and respond a bit more intelligently.

Have a great day!

> Yeah, we did.

No we did not.

> The concept of "mine" appears very early in children.

The concept of "mine" also exists in socialism. How have you come to the conclusion that when a child says "mine" that it is referring to the capitalist notion of private property?

> Nobody has ever managed to indoctrinate people into communal behavior.

Are you denying the existence of families now? Humans evolved and spread in small familial groups which practiced communal behavior.

> Even the die hard communists in the USSR still participated in the black market - this was tolerated because even the elites used it.

What point are you trying to make whit this?

> It turns out that human nature is not very malleable.

If it wasn't malleable we wouldn't have capitalism as evidenced by early human history. While you at it why don't you tell us what human nature is, because there doesn't seem to be any consensus on it and you seem so confident in using it that you must have a ready definition of it.

It already is. College kids today are mostly skipping their essays and just editing AI created one. Their literacy seems somewhat low, although that could be bias (the lower ones might be the ones seeking out AI).

These sorts of effects are common. As animals are domesticated, their intelligence goes down. If you don't have to think for yourself, then your skill and its utility goes down. If you don't need to hunt for your food, then you don't need to spend energy thinking about it, and you become lazy.

I'm convinced this is happening in at least some humans as well.
Although I doubt they would buy it back, their customers all hate them, they have the worst reputation, and they've never given any shits about that. So I don't think they'll do any of that anyhow.
The emergencies act is extremely restrictive. The criteria:

>There must be an urgent, critical and temporary situation that “seriously endangers” the lives, health and safety of Canadians, and it must be so significant as to exceed the capacity or authority of the provinces to address it.

A foreign funded group with heavy vehicles invaded and took over downtown Ottawa and international border crossings. The province wasn't interested in dispersing them.

The Emergencies Act definition wouldn't allow you to halt a coup attempt if Ontario could handle it but chose not to. At a certain point you have to analyze things and say that if the law has a massive loophole then the law was poorly drafted.

We are still waiting for the evidence they claimed to have for that, or even the clarification on what these alleged evidence even was.

Also note that this raid severely hampered the operations of the hospital, but didn’t completely destroy it. However, since this statement in January, there was another raid at the end of March, and that raid put the hospital completely out of service. If the first raid destroyed the supposed command center under the hospital, why did they do a second raid? And why did they leave behind mass graves? And where is the evidence for the supposed command center?
I've been pondering some sort of "night vision"[1] system for my car after noticing how excellent low light is on my VIOFO dash cam.

The dash cam has a video-out port, but unfortunately it appears to be NTSC resolution. I'd love some sort of setup that outputs to >=8" 1080p display attached to my dash. It would help so much in my rural area with wildlife in the road, as well as the constant random pedestrian walking on an unlit rural highway in dark clothing.

Ideally, if I could get great quality, low noise low light video like the VIOFO, I could then start playing with object identification with OpenCV.

1. I worked on such spectral systems in a past military life but don't want to attach something big like a Cadillac FLIR unit, or something expensive, like nearly every viable consumer FLIR option. All the "affordable" consumer FLIR options suffer from low resolution and/or low response time.

It's called fair use. They are static shots and not even close to the magical "8 seconds" rule. They are providing dramatic examples that many people are familiar with. Showing the before/after of something your mom shot means nothing to people. Showing extremely famous examples immediately lets people know what is possible and to what extent.

I see nothing wrong with any of what was used or how it was used but especially why it was used.

26 in a month. Like everyone else here, I went through handcoded HTML (hosted on my Amiga!) to a self-written Perl CMS-like-thing to some PHP ball of mud, and then across a variety of wikis and blog engines and static sites and back to blog setups and back to static sites.

Last month I migrated my Hugo setup to a hosted micro.blog account. It adds the missing bits I was too lazy or time-crunched to configure myself, like crossposting to other services, webmentions, and all the other indieweb goodness.

A big shout out to Matomo analytics that lets me look at anonymized visitor records on my self-hosted server.

The solution is painfully obvious for anyone who isn't actually involved in milking every last red cent out of media: make movies people actually want to see, and not just shameless cash grabs recycling everything from 1980 onward. Of course, now every suit expects every movie to gross a billion dollars, so that's not going to happen. It's a fun dream, though.
> Carpet the ceiling and the walls. Super cheap, super effective.

Super dangerous and illegal, too.

The reason that professionals don't do this is because no one will permit it, not because there's some scam on acoustic foam and diffusers... well there is but it's not the acousticians' fault. It's a massive fire hazard.
I love movie theatres. I hate stupidly expensive popcorn and people talking and using their phones the entire time.
It really does feel like there has been very little originality in movies in the last decade or so. Too many comic book movies, sequels/prequels, and remakes. Couple that with the price of movies going up, and many times audience annoyances with people on their phones or just being otherwise distracting and it makes the desire to go see a movie in a theater pretty low for me.
"Terroir" does not mean "earth". The word for "earth" is "terre". They are obviously related, but not the same thing. Terroir is about much more than just the soil. Your translation is inaccurate.

At Google, where they foster a culture of intellectual safety. Their systems are so complex that no one person knows everything, and having people bullshit their way around things is dangerous, so people have up feel safe to ask "dumb" questions in order to make good decisions. At other companies with different cultural values, say Microsoft of the 90's with stack ranking, a good manager may need to foster the opposite in order for their direct reports to succeed in that culture.

Are you aware of the testing they did before releasing the vaccine? It's not like they cooked it up in the lab on Monday and started injecting the entire population on Friday. Not to mention that it was not even available for individuals outside of high-risk groups for several months after release.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with the medical system. It's certainly not good at treating patients with respect - even today. But consider that if the vast majority of the population was willing to get the COVID vaccine voluntarily the mandates would not be necessary. People like yourself would likely be able to opt out freely thanks to herd immunity.

In a lot of ways my main feeling about COVID is disappointment. COVID was an opportunity for people to come together and make a small sacrifice to contribute to protecting the weakest among us. Instead it turned into an everyone-for-themselves shitshow. I remember visiting Hong Kong in 2008 and I was amazed to see how many people wore surgical masks in public. This was probably carry over from the SARS outbreak in 2003. To me it showed a high level of care and empathy for others that people were willing to set aside their own comfort to try to prevent spreading whatever cold of flu they were carrying. I wish we could adopt some of that attitude here in North America.
A variety of mediums replaced casual movie going for a portion of people who used to go. Now I think a movie has to particularly resonate with the wider audience in order to get people to go out at all.

Even beyond that, I wonder if the current young generation even watches tv or movies at all? Or do they watch youtube/twitch and play video games instead?

Non-shit night vision, the kind where warm things glow at night, requires LWIR sensors that are at a temperature lower than the warm thing (otherwise the sensor itself glows).

NIR sensitivity does not improve night vision. That mostly requires a "tapetum lucidum" or reflective layer, more rods than cones (less helpful when you want to see colors in daylight) or just larger, more biologically expensive and vulnerable eyes than necessary.
Any attempts to streamline a risky creative endeavor are doomed to eventually realize like EA that churning out Sports FC * (nee FIFA) / Madden NFL * is financially optimal.
First, there is no universally agreed-upon test to measure sentience. So I don't see much value in debating whether LLMs are sentient or not... but they aren't ;)

Second, the similarity of deterministic algorithms' outputs to what humans consider expressions of sentient beings is not an argument in favor of LLMs being sentient. It's just like arguing that a magic trick must be real because it looks so much like the real thing and not a trick.

Frontrunning on the blockchain is transparent. Bitcoin doesn't have exchanges so trading is happening on private exchanges, but other blockchain have decentralized exchanges where frontrunning is obvious and you can often reverse engineer the strategy and sabotage or frontrun the frontrunner.

I don't think it's just techies who believe that (although plenty do, for sure!). Lots of regular non-techie people think only old people care about books, for instance. When I worked at a used bookstore (left just before COVID), family members would make comments like that and seemed surprised when I told them we had tons of people in their teens and 20s coming in and buying books (used and old ones at that!).

It is true that the bookstore business has faced a lot of downturns: indie bookstores were really hurt by the big chain stores, Barnes & Nobles and Borders in the '90s, then Amazon and online shopping hurt them all some more. But the indie scene is stronger than it was, say, 15 years ago. A lot more smaller and niche shops have been opening up (at least in US cities I'm familiar with).

Go see Furiosa! It's not quite as incredible as Fury Road, but it's pretty darn great, and it's the exact kind of movie you should see in the cinema. Feeling the rumble in the chair from the sound system while watching is honestly thrilling.

I realize we all have excellent TVs and sound systems at home now, but the cinema is still worth it, and especially for movies like Furiosa that were just made to be experienced in one. Watching at home is definitely a much lesser experience.
> personally haven't been to the movies in about 6 years or so

Why is that? Is it the outrageous ticket prices? The 20 minutes of commercials and trailers before the movie even starts? The people who not only don't turn off their phones but actively use them during the movie and even make phone calls? Or is it the loudness of the theater that tries to hide the noise made by inconsiderate people?

Consider the following scenario: you have just been paid $1000 and you go to an ATM. A dude at the atm mugs you. He sees the big deposit that has just hit your account and says "tell you what, I'll only steal $900. Then you'll still be up $100 overall". You should be fine with this right? You still made $100.

It's the same situation here. He took money that was due to one group of people and paid some of it to another group of people. This idea that if people make a net profit then it's basically ok even though he took some of their money is totally unsuported by the law for good reason.
