Are you suggesting apartment buildings, which are a feature in every major city on the planet, contribute to mental illness? and that you'd prefer living in a car as opposed to a fairly standard place that millions of people live in?
My read is that the two smaller spheres are non-exclusive, and that the smallest is included in the 2nd.

The breakout is for comparison: surface freshwater (total) and surface freshwater (lakes and rivers) relatively.
Nice anecdote, but it sounds like you worked for possibly a badly managed company and has nothing to do with remote work first. I’ve worked with plenty of remote teams that do not function this way.
It doesn't rely on maps, it relies on its own cameras and the onboard cameras+radars.
I mean you realize there were many more ads per hour on TV though right? What makes the youtube ones more intrusive?
The book is good but it has a couple important drawbacks:

* while it tells you how to do lock-free programming but doesn't teach you why, nor whether you should it.

* it has a relatively narrow focus on linearizability, but the truth is memory is neither linearizable nor sequentially consistent. These days it is agreed that Lamport's "happens before" relationship and acquire-release are a better way to reason on multithreaded code.
That’s definitely not the norm. IPv6 is enabled by default and it’s not recommended to disable it. Only really locked down places that are ignoring recommendations would have it disabled.

Whether it’s exposed to the Internet is another question, but pretty much everyone has a firewall to at least stop passive scans.
I've been getting into climbing a lot more lately as well. pretty fun sport and requires a bit more thought than my normal lifting routine so it's nice to switch it up.
Immigration doesn't plug the gap, it causes the costs to rise that people complain is the reason for them not having or wanting children. I don't particularly believe that high costs of living are the real reason, seems more like a rationalization to me (else we'd see number of children go smoothly up with higher income, and we don't really see that). But it does seem to be the popular response.

Does immigration cause the lower fertility, or does lower fertility cause the immigration? Why can't it be both, death spiral style?

Also, the defect rate on children is surprisingly high, around 3% if memory serves. As the parent of a child with disabilities, my experience has been one of complete devastation. I'm not in a good enough place to have a conversation about this, but also feel an obligation to others in a similar position not to be invisible.
I did not particularly keep track, I do not dedicate my life to obsessively follow even massive dangerous idiots. There were at least 3 major ones.

That said, yes. What you said is evidence that he is mean-spirited and does not follow the rules he set himself. Of course, having an ethical behaviour sometimes means making hard choices. It is not about doing things that are understandable in context, it’s about doing the right thing, even if it is at a cost to you in the short term. He does not have any history of doing so.

These people are dead. Spitting on their graves because he is annoyed by their family is absolutely unethical. Particularly since their main failure was to believe the smoke and mirrors about FSD, which is itself another ethical clusterfuck.

If he had a beef, he could have sued for defamation, where he could have shown his data in an ethical and confidential manner. He knows the deal, he’s been in more than his fair share of defamation lawsuits, on either side.
Ah right, forgot that I can just check that in the open reports :)
Madebygood is an upcoming agentic research assistant that can plan, reason & research any topic on edge devices.

But, you can already do that today with Google’s Gemma or other open source LLMs running on your Gaianet_AI node! You can swap it with your own llm too.
Yeah i think this was a UI issue more than a 'we don't think it's a needed feature' issue. Long press with that sticky popup was just something that hadn't come to yet... and certainly forcetouch tech didn't exist yet.
Well yeah it tastes like they dumped a bunch of sugar because that's basically what they did.

The direct election of Senators considerably changed the Senate. The Senate’s job was to represent the interests of the individual states, the House was to represent the people. That’s why the Senate has treaty powers — as the United States (emphasis on the plural of states) are/were each sovereign entities and the Senate thusly had to approve of any treaty that woukd effectively bind states to an international agreement.

Direct election of senators changed that because the senators no long answer to the state governments but to the population of the state directly.
I developed a severe dairy protein allergy in my late 30s. At first, I thought it was just a lactose issue but anything dairy triggers it (with symptoms aligning with vasculitis). While I'm not vegan, it's just easier to eat vegan food when I go to a restaurant. I generally know what's safe from the grocery store but always look for the Contains Milk or Dairy Free labels.

The labeling is extremely important. I find it upsetting that there aren't more rigid requirements for labeling common allergens. Given that a large percentage of people are at least mildly lactose intolerant by the time they hit age 70, you would think this would have stricter labeling requirements.

"where you bought that $500k house ten years ago with $50k down, and sell today for $800k"

The problem is that in those 10 years you also paid a bunch of interest on the mortgage necessary to buy that house. For instance:

Assuming a 20 year mortgage with a fixed 5% interest rate, in 10 years you paid 200k just in interest. Makes that 300k look really much less appealing.
Yeah I'm trying to figure out a good price for both sides. I'll probably try locals first. We do have a couple of good universities -- definitely not MIT/Berkeley league but I don't need it.

> would be to have never interacted with Disney at all in any way

Yes, that is the PR risk. How much will Disney save in this one case, against the background meme of "if you ever watch anything Disney they are free to kill you" (that's not accurate, but memes rarely are).

IMO this is lawyers finding a local maximum that is bad for the company in general.
For throughput data, well, you need to actually run prompts to gather the data which racks up costs fast and performance can vary based on input prompt lengths. The two sources I use are OpenRouter's provider breakdown [1] and Unify's runtime benchmarks [2].

If you can swing it, an L1 to an EB-1C might be an approach. Of course, that means finding a US company in the EU. The L1 is a dual intent visa like the H1B, so both can transition to a green card.
Wow thanks a lot! We played DD Poker during the Pandemic. It really saved us from going insane:)
The end of the article says the bug isn't fixed, so presumably, the root cause identification was wrong?
This is great, but the static doesn't seem random? It just bugged me a tiny bit. Otherwise, I love this.
Must be my crappy internet connection that lets me watch the white noise for an unbearable amount of time. It's a very annoying white noise. Also, I wonder if some channels send a sign-off sequence once they run out of content.

I'm finally learning to slow down on the attempts at self-improvement and put more effort into trying to pass on my findings ;)

For one thing I've tried a lot of capos over the decades, and used a number of them on different instruments routinely, but was always disappointed by their effect on tuning, except for the Sabine capo which is long out of production:

https://reverb.com/item/2776684-sabine-capo-1980s

https://umgf.com/wtb-sabine-capo-remember-these-late-70-s-80...

These were precise enough to use on an electric guitar without having to adjust tuning.

Anyway, the hard plastic did deteriorate with age a long time ago so NOS they are not good any more either.

I didn't really depend on it anyway, usually only using it to play tunes that were originally recorded with a capo, or to accommodate a vocalist's preferred key. It sure makes it easy to play in any key, whether sharp, flat, or natural, which is a very worthwhile thing to do.

So worthwhile that I set an objective to be able to play in any key without a capo. This is not as easy.

It took a few years but eventually when a singer was putting on their own capo I was not doing that and ready to play with the bare hands no matter what. Not that I'm a real musician, I need tricks like this to make me sound better than I actually am, and I admit it ;)
With real TV and a DVR you haven't had to see a single commercial in the last 25 years if you didn't want to.

We don't talk enough about how streaming has forced us into a much worse experience with ads that are unskippable, privacy-invading, and now I hear they're being dynamically inserted into programming mid-scene.

The Art of Interviewing Your Interviewer to Uncover Company Culture
Way overdue but also required for the rest of the big tech companies. Look at how Google and others can lose billions on one failed product after the next - any smaller company would go bankrupt. Competition isn’t fair when one player can just afford to take risks and failures of that scale. And then there’s all the anti competitive aspects like network effects or bundling or whatever. We need all new laws around anti trust because a monopoly today looks different from a monopoly a hundred years back.
Non-binding on the U.S. as such a treaty has to be ratified.
There's a project called DizqueTV[0] that lets you set up "channels" of media to be streamed to a Plex server, which then lets you send that onto a TV.

It's not quite the same as straight TV channels. But it's pretty close!

Perhaps you like this nostalgic TV as well then: https://90s.myretrotvs.com. It also uses Youtube as a source and plays uninterrupted like an old-school channel.
I love that piano like chorded keyboard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorded_keyboard#/media/File:X...) from the alto. I think it's still and interesting UI concept but I think it should/could be adapted to a foot pedal design, chords would be constrained to 2 inputs though unless maybe two of the inuputs were directly side by side then you could expand to three. Organists know what's up ;)
I know of https://ersatztv.org which I used a while ago. With a Kodi frontend you can play on TV. Not sure it does podcasts and music though but I used it successfully for movies and TV shows.
It's more accurate to call them "emulsions." Some cheaper oat milks will actually fall slightly out of solution in the water and as a result you can see the fine grains. Soy milk, for example, can be used to make a kind of cheese analog called Tofu. A lot of oat milks have some gums or other thickeners mixed in not necessarily just because of mouthfeel but also because it makes the milk steamable for use with espresso. They're natural extracts from trees or other plants.

You can't really call them unnatural because the techniques used are available to home cooks using off-the-shelf ingredients. I can buy thickeners and render oats into a fine enough powder to make oat milk, for example.

I'm personally more concerned about water usage per gallon of "milk-like product." Almond milk is pretty bad where that's concerned because almond trees consume an enormous amount of water that's often pumped out of aquifers at faster than the recovery rate.
That sounds good, but what's the easiest to state mathematical problem that requires Category Theory apparatus for the solution?

I've long since concluded that YouTube's ads are merely a way of persuading me to upgrade to Premium. Given that they actually seem to be pretty good at recommending content to me I am mystified by why the ad selection is so awful.
Four Years of Scite
I wonder why they went with WYSIWIG in the title despite having WYSIWYG in the article.

Anyway, hard to blame the folks who invented it, since it was early days, but WYSIWYG was a truly terrible idea. It heavily implies the need (although, doesn’t technically demand it) to have user input produce only local changes, so we’ve been cursed with all these office documents with terrible spacing. It also ruins our ability to actually communicate with the computer, or describe things on an abstract level. People just poke their documents around until they get something reasonably sensible looking in their current editor.

Is the text reflowed around the figure or did the user just manually add a bunch of line breaks and then manually paste in the figure (anchored to what?). We’ll out later if somebody changes the font.

Maybe WYSIWIG almost works, actually. What you see is… whatever I got. Except it only works if we have the same version of the same office suite.
I would assume this would be somewhat concerning for anybody investing in crypto.

Correct me if I'm misguided - I'm not an economist, let alone a crypto-economist - I would assume the price of a bitcoin would go up as the mining rewards get fewer and fewer, but with Bitcoin being "tied" in a sense with traditional currencies, I wonder how much of a effect the lowering mining rewards would have compared to other global economic factors.

Is this the kind of event where investors/holders hit critical mass where they start selling off their Bitcoin, leaving a bunch of bag-holders? Or, will the idea of having scarcity keep the currency going? I somewhat understand that the USD was a gold-backed currency before, which I would think (again, not an economist), keep the value of the currency more stable, compared to the system we have now? I'm curious if there's any parallels between the old "gold standard" and limited availability of crypto like Bitcoin.

Very interesting. I've always wanted to play around with crypto stuff but haven't sat down and given it a decent go.
I understands what you're trying to replicate, but I believe this would distract from the charm since users could then just visit YouTube [directly] and search for things scheduled.

The randomness and uninterrupted playback is why this is so cool =D

Different people's brains work differently, essentially innately. And skilled trained brains work differently than the same brain did green. It doesn't seem that Tesler's work ever reflected these important details about the world.

I expect if tasked, Larry Tesler would have "invented" the one-button game controller: fuuuuuunnnnnn (Joe Biden can't get enough of his!)
This is what I was looking for, where did you see that info?
You can do it the other way around: instead of filtering lactose out of the milk you filter the solids making a protein and fats concentrate.

This is mostly used as a preprocessing step for cheese production, but by rehydrating you get ultra-filtered milk, which are lactose-free and not sweet.
Virtual actors are so nice, Dapr[1] uses them as well. You can get hack together something like a virtual actor with Ray too but I'm hoping their actors eventually evolve into something like virtual actors eventually.

Very excited for this but would really appreciate more details. Core frequency, SRAM volumes, CXL generation, PCIE lanes, memory channels... or even ballpark performance estimates.

Has anyone here played with their embedded chips? What was the experience?
On the contrary, it seems extremely valuable to Disney to be able to force all disputes into individual binding arbitration rather than having to go through the courts.

On the third hand, it's debatable if anything on Disney+ is of any value either, so it could be argued that the deceased didn't get any value and isn't bound by the agreement.

(Yes, yes, I know that's not what you mean, nor is it what "value" means in a legal sense. IANAL, obviously)
React and React-Native library for modern comment section using your app's users
Hey everyone!

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on—Replyke V3. As a developer, I got really tired of having to rebuild comment sections for every project. I was constantly copy-pasting code and tweaking it, and it just got old fast.

So, I ended up building Replyke, a tool that makes adding a nice, modern comment section to any React app super easy. It works well on web apps, and I even made a React Native version for mobile apps.

One thing I’m really happy about is how Replyke fits right into your project’s existing user system and keeps all the comments on your own server. It just feels like a natural part of your app, and you don’t have to worry about losing control over your data.

I built this because I needed it for my own projects, and I hope it can help you too. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think—your feedback would be awesome!
> The engineers engineer and the bean counters count beans. They meet and find a happy place.

I'd say that the engineers never initiate contact with the bean counters, and the bean counters very very rarely initiate contact with the engineers.
I know they don't thats why its in quotes.
New Open-Source Release: SOTA Multimodal Embedding Models for Fashion
The tech stack in the splat world is still really young. For instance, I was thinking to myself: “Cool, MVSplat is pretty fast. Maybe I’ll use it to get some renderings of a field by my house.”

As far as I can tell, I will need to offer a bunch of photographs with camera pose data added — okay, fair enough, the splat architecture exists to generate splats.

Now, what’s the best way to get camera pose data from arbitrary outdoor photos? … Cue a long wrangle through multiple papers. Maybe, as of today… FAR? (https://crockwell.github.io/far/). That claims up to 80% pose accuracy depending on source data.

I have no idea how MVSplat will deal with 80% accurate camera pose data… And I also don’t understand if I should use a pre-trained model from them or train my own or fine tune one of their models on my photos… This is sounding like a long project.

I don’t say this to complain, only to note where the edges are right now, and think about the commercialization gap. There are iPhone apps that will get (shitty) splats together for you right now, and there are higher end commercial projects like Skydio that will work with a drone to fill in a three dimensional representation of an object (or maybe some land, not sure about the outdoor support), but those are like multiple thousand-dollar per month subscriptions + hardware as far as I can tell.

Anyway, interesting. I expect that over the next few years we’ll have push button stacks based on ‘good enough’ open models, and those will iterate and go through cycles of being upsold / improved / etc. We are still a ways away from a trawl through an iPhone/gphoto library and a “hey, I made some environments for you!” Type of feature. But not infinitely far away.
I've read the anatomical feature that allows humans a wider range of comfortable speeds with one base gait is bipedalism, and four-legged gaits have narrower speed ranges.

This is easy to observe for dog lovers. Walk with a medium size (say 50-60 lbs) dog off leash and you'll notice the dog has to choose between a gait that's a little slow for a human walk or a gait that'd be a fast walk for a human -- but you can still match either of those without much trouble. If you choose not to match your walk to the dog's speed, the dog will alternate between the two gaits to roughly match your speed.
The linux kernel relies upon one, so I can't imagine it wouldn't be.

There are a lot of reasons as to why this use of the fine print is unconscionable.

1. There was no consideration in exchange for signing the document. Disney offered a gift and Piccolo effectively chose to return it at the end.

2. The period over which the contract applies would implicitly apply to the period of availability and use of the services.

The following were mentioned in the case:

3. The terms of service were not directly included in the contract

4. The contract was not explicitly signed

5. The terms of use related to the Disney Springs area conflict with and supersede the terms in the Disney+ contract

However, I think the fine print has gotten out of hand generally. We need to have basically standard-form contracts for these things and explicit, aware, negotiated signature required for opting out of the standard terms. The problem is the scale. When a thing costs a nominal amount but requires a contract, and the negotiation of the contract is not worth the time or money for either seller or buyer, then it ought to be agreeable to both in the general case and not have any surprises. Reading through terms of service for just about anything these days makes you really wonder what you might be agreeing to. If you sign up for your smart dryer's service, are you losing the right to seek damages in court if your house burns down? The contract is unlikely to be more than a link with a button above it, or a tiny window in which you can scroll through hundreds of lines of text. What if there's an "agree to defend" clause in there and your smart dryer becomes part of a botnet that steals a bunch of money? Many of these uses would be thrown out for being unconscionable, but it just takes one judge to agree.
Simpl-Site: Building Dynamic Websites with Deno and Markdown
The commenter describes them as a "backbone", but I'm a little sceptical - Do we really want an economy propped up by unplanned births, and the unwilling, difficult labour of single parents?

Also, they never correlate with actual future tax contributions vs use of services, rendering the raw birthrate comparison meaningless..
That would be a positive. We need alternatives other than just burning energy to base a currency on.
