Americans "want" big SUVs because they're cheaper than mid-sized sedans. Unfortunately, they pollute more and they're less safe.

The SUV protectionism of import tariffs, safety exclusions, and pollution carve-outs must end because they're killing us on the roads, killing our health through more pollution, and killing the planet.
A much better strategy is to just buy an index for the equivalent amount every time you decide on a disposable / luxury purchase. That way there is no guilt about being able to afford it and generally you hit your savings rate etc.
This is a pretty interesting philosophical question, and I think it basically boils down to whether you are fundamentally a positivist or not. Meaning that if we remove the sensory organs of a being (I.e., remove its ability to feel pain) that means it loses any ethical value.

If you agree with this viewpoint, then the idea of “beef worms” or “chicken fruit” makes sense. But if you question positivism and think that beings have another form of value that isn’t merely the sum of their sensory impressions, it gets much more complex.
As they mention, the Window Manager, being the authority on which windows are displayed would obviously have that information. Picoms issue is that it is seperate from the WM and does not have access to that, it needs to go through the X server to discover the windows.

>We strive for peace today with conviction and intensity, for great wars must cease if we are to pursue further the path of progress.

As soon as you stop striving with all your might, you could be screwed.

There's still too many people who are greedy, hateful, and power-seeking. That kind cannot be allowed to gain power and run amok, that's what war is.

Every decade, as more of those who were alive then have passed, the less force remains of the kind that's needed to prevent running amok at large scale.

The standard today for world leaders now, as we have seen, is much lower than needed. The whole of society has declined in lockstep so it can't be perceived as an outlier. There are now such defective chains of command all over the place where those with false leadership ability are most likely to rise through the ranks. And these are ones who would have never been worthy of consideration after World War II, whether it was the winning or losing side rebuilding afterward. Everybody wanted real prosperity, not that fake leadership thing any more. Now too many people can't tell the difference again.

Everyone who went through World War II knew instinctively they had to keep up even more challenging work (non-military instead) under peacetime every year for the rest of their lives, just to avoid another war. Even though "total world peace" had not 100% been achieved, the effort must strongly be concentrated on avoiding another world-destroying war first and foremost while some of the same efforts will help to top off peace on their own.

>And our striving is by no means hopeless.

That never happens after an indictment without a plea.

I'm not aware of it ever happening before an indictment, either. People don't always know that they're under investigation, and, even if you know that you're being investigated, many (if not most) investigations don't end with indictments -- they're quietly dropped -- so it can be quite dangerous to do what you suggest, as it makes an indictment far more likely.
>war is in our DNA.

That's very promising since some of the most undesirable characteristics can be bred out within a few generations. Actually that might have been what happened to some isolated cultures (even if nomadic) where they had nothing to fight over for thousands of years.

While other isolated or marching cultures bred out any non-violent tendencies in the opposite way themselves.

Maybe not so promising after all.
I'm sorry but this is low quality blogspam drizzle and the writer barely understands what he is talking about (if at all). Just take this sentence:

One of the most mind-bending papers on this topic is William Cook’s On Understanding Data Abstraction, Revisited
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Drafts/2009/essay.pdf
“Object interfaces are essentially higher-order types, in the same sense that passing functions as values is higher-order. Any time an object is passed as a value, or returned as a value, the object-oriented program is passing functions as values and returning functions as values. The fact that the functions are collected into records and called methods is irrelevant. As a result, the typical object-oriented program makes far more use of higher-order values than many functional programs.“
Why should it scale? People act as if everything is scalable and should scale. And if it doesn't scale something is wrong. This is just absurd mindlessness and has nothing to do with solving an actual (social or otherwise) problem.

It happens more because their skills are more aligned with adding and supporting new racks at the data center, or advertisors/corps are frantically searching to create more artificial digital Real Estate on top of which to put up digital billboards and capture attention.

So you have to be clear about what problem you are trying to solve and for whom.

Also check out the UN report on the Attention Economy. It provides lot of analysis of the space and food for thought on how future social should be designed.

> If you're on Windows you should try the powertools OCR tool.

Which is open source (MIT-licensed), the source code is here: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules...

It is written in C#, and uses the Windows.Media.Ocr UWP API to do the actual OCR part: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.ocr?... – so if your app runs on Windows it can potentially call the same API and get OCR for free

Apple provides OCR through VisionKit ImageAnalyzer API – https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionkit/imageana... – albeit that is only officially supported to call from Swift (although apparently you can expose it to Objective C if your write a "proxy Swift framework"–a custom Swift framework that wraps the original and adds @objc everywhere–I assume such a proxy framework could be autogenerated using reflection, but I'm not sure if anyone has written a tool that actually does that). There is also the older VNRecognizeTextRequest API which is supported by Objective C, but its OCR quality is inferior.

I'm not sure what the best answer for Linux or Android is. I guess https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract ?

"In this country?" The US deserves it's share of blame for pushing coyright via trade agreements but the berne convention isn't just the US and the situation isn't exactly better in other western countries. At least the US in theory recognizes copyright as an infringement on our rights that is only justified in order to ensure the production of creative works. As flawed and untested as that logic is, it is still much better than the inherent author rights that are more common in e.g. the EU.
When i said "splitting", i meant it like my parent explained: Basically sorting your datasets and then splitting into quarters.

What you want to explain to me (IMHO to the wrong person) is the correct approach of calculating a mean and standard deviation and drawing the box from that. Lets stay with that (and thats what i said earlier in the thread)

After i wrote the post you replied to, i realized that the pure "splitting" method for box plots is nonsensical since the outer brackets interval is determined by the two most extreme values. They are too random to be meaningful. It does not make sense to draw a box plot from that.

One of many useful features of LINQPad is the output visualizer ("Dump"). Granted, there are now NuGet packages (very likely inspired by LINQPad) that can do something similar in a console app but LINQPad is interactive, allows drill-down and can export to formats like Excel. It's such a productivity boost.

The database integration is also great and allows me to write ad-hoc SQL queries using LINQ.

> However, for a comprehensive track network, a simple linked list of track elements is insufficient. It must be possible to traverse it in both directions and accommodate switches (turnouts) and loops. Loops present a particular challenge.

Fun fact: there is at least one track network (the Munich U-Bahn) that avoids loops and interconnecting lines "the wrong way around", so trains always face the same way (https://www-u--bahn--muenchen-de.translate.goog/fahrzeuge/?_...). Because of this, two-carriage trainsets have a "north carriage" and "south carriage", and the newer six-carriage trainsets have north and south end cars plus four middle cars. Of course, not all tracks run north-south, but the name is taken from the way the carriages point in the first (and at the moment still the only) maintenance yard in Fröttmaning.

Yes and No. You're right that battery life can be way more important for someone constantly running from meeting to meeting, or from site to site.

Then the corporate world has a solution for that for as long as computer existed: there's charging cables in basically every meeting room, every guest desk etc. In the olden days people would also keep around secundary, tertiary batteries to make the day. This would translate to a mobile battery in this days and age.

It's always nicer to not have to rely too heavily on these, but if your job is to be on the go all day long, you can't solely rely on your device battery either way.
I guess if money wasn't such a limiting factor, more of us would be productive in different ways later in life. Instead of implementing already invented ideas, we could invent now that we are at the peak of our knowledge and mental capabilities.

It's really hard to justify the financial loss required to (full time) pursue novel ideas when you're middle aged. It's much easier to just put in the 8 hours per day and collect the paycheck.

Been working on this in my free time over the past year, lmk what you think.

Made it using WebGL and a ton of spaghetti vanilla JS. The accelerometer should work on mobile devices (expect an issue or two), total PITA to get it to work in iOS though. It requires an actual user triggered event (e.g. a click) in order to even display the popup to allow access.

You think I don't like the words? I disagree with the idea. Surely this isn't new.
what is a thought then? what is this little voice which guide you to think of this or that from the beginning of the day till the end even diring dream? for me from the electronic part its a pathway of electronic discharge between all over neural cells of different functional area of tgd brain which respect the phisiological structure of tge brain (motor, visual , temporary front cortex , cingulate for Long short memory, ) but what guide you to think of that then after, maybe thr machine learning conception can explain : for each different person and experience , each of us has going to activate a neural cell wchich to be the most predictable idea , and this prediction id modulated by all the input acquired all thr day ( for example if something more important is seen around us)
It is definitely possible to also bribe organisations.

The individual members will profit and some members even more.

Also note, that I did not claim it is a bribe, but that it sounds to me like this (as a non lawyer).

Because we are talking about potential manslaughter here.
> The 2.5 billion sound like a bribe to me, to avoid criminal charges. And Boeing thought that was enough, but it seems they did not assume that the FAA was also serious, that they still need to "overhaul its compliance practices and submitted regular reports".

To be honest it might have been just enough, since nothing was done. If they had been serious before, they would have planned some sort of check or control as a follow up to that 2021 decision, but they didn't.

But then doors started falling from the skies and people started to have questions about what kind of shoddy plane building they were allowing.

That's when the FAA started their investigations.

Has someone defined AGI this time? Because as far as I can see, LLMs are:

If the US does not get Boeing under control, trust in all US companies will go down further. It makes a ton of sense, just from a self interested financial point of view, for the US to fix Boeing with compulsion - even if it means breaking it up and putting executives in prison.
Fascinating, thank you. What staggers me is how the very well-off people who can afford the Ferraris put up with this nonsense. In my book the whole point of being rich is the increased freedom which surely includes not complying to idiotic requirements (and I don't mean the social and legal norms here).

I guess an urge for status signalling is very hard to resist.
I don't agree that that's exhaustive testing. Full branch test coverage etc., is normal and sensible and it's great, but that's very different from having a proof that given certain preconditions, you will have certain postconditions.

Only semi-related, I have also found the 11ty docs lacking from time to time, but don’t really have a great idea in my head about what good docs look like vs bad ones.

If you have a moment, I’d love to hear why you think these are exceptionally bad docs, and some examples or thoughts on what you feel are excellent docs!

We use and financially support 11ty at work, so if it’s something I can manage, I’d like to help make the docs better over time.
It has nothing to do with the proof as a push button technology.

Adding annotations to the code for example is not a workaround for the halting problem.
