The State of New York is offering free tuition at any SUNY school for all students who reside in the state with incomes up to $125,000 for dependent students; $60,000 for married students with no dependents; $30,000 for independent single students with no dependents.

This will make a huge difference in the market for degrees.
The really interesting philosophical question is what causes the aggregation of consciousness. It isn't related to distance or connection, rather it seems to be the result of physical "coupling" through shared history. It's almost like consciousness represents the shared state of a given part of the universe.

Batteries used for the grid are reliable and with very little environmental concerns. You can use water batteries or other various gravity batteries. Very efficient, these lose practically no energy over a long period of time.

The problem is small (ish) batteries. Like those in cars. Which is why it's very, very important to start phasing out large scale automobile transportation. We've had electric trains for decades and not only are they orders of magnitude more efficient per passenger, they also don't require batteries.

Because we as a society are the only reason who holds us back.

We use capitalism to control resources etc. but only thanks to controled capitalism / politics we are keeping pure capitalsim under control (like minimum wage, labor laws etc.).

We could create a new system. A system which determines how many resources we as society can produce on one side and want we need + want on the other side. Than we optimize our system for this.

Which would mean we would get rid of everything we don't need and optimize everything we can.

We don't need thousends of different companies doing simliar things just different with their own overhead. Capitalism needs this to control itself.

I think there's something in how a good shrooms high makes you feel that 'you' are less real, and that something like nature is more cohesive and real than you are used to thinking about it.

But as someone else said, the next day you don't care anymore and you don't actually think you unlocked a new dimension. The experience of what drugs feel like doesn't seem like a valid way to get at the true nature of anything.

I agree, and in fact that's the basis of my Haskell library Bluefin[1]. If you look at it from one angle it's a Haskell "effect system" resembling other Haskell approaches for freely composing effects. If you look at it from another angle it's a capability-based security model (as also mentioned by quectophoton in this dicussion[2]). There's actually quite a lot of similarity between the two areas! On the other hand it's not really a "firewall" as described by this article, because it doesn't do dynamic permission checks. Rather permission checks are determined at compile time. (Although, I guess you could implement dynamic permission checks as one of the "backends".)

Unable to view the entirety of the article, so I'm unsure if this is addressed:

>>> But “price discrimination,” where you sell the same product to different customers at different prices, is a longstanding feature of the business world.

This used to be called haggling. Key difference here is that price discrimination is now exclusive on features that are out of a users' control. This of course will be addressed by the user akin to how one spoofs their browser information to incite specific behavior of a web service.

The term user agent is fitting within the context of this article as well! Will just need to spoof some combination of demographic context to get the lowest price of a service.

I dunno, ask my wife and she'll tell you the songs I'm usually practicing are beyond the edge of my capabilities.

In seriousness, I don't think that statement is meant for lifting/running or anything that's bounded by your physical fitness. Because you're right, the human body doesn't work like that.

Music is probably a better example. I push myself by learning songs that are beyond what I can do now. I practice them and make a bunch of mistakes. And as I keep practicing, the mistakes go away. And at some point, the song I couldn't play becomes a song I can play. Then I find new even harder songs to focus my practice on.

Widely pilloried by Mark Kern, and really only Mark. Every followup article points back to them, or the single reddit comment he uses as his source.

chuckle there it is.

While I was in NYC, my sister was living in a rural town, population of around 100. She was mystified why our governor was making us wash our hands and wear masks. Why, they weren't doing any of that in her town, and nobody died at all!! How could we just let our civil liberties be violated like that!!!

Friend, I'm only telling you what I saw with my own eyes. NYC was one of the first hit, because it one of the most connected cities with the rest of the world, and it was one of the hardest hit, because of the very high population density.

There was no one-size-fits-all policy--some policies were more apropos for rural places, some were more apropos for dense urban centers. But that doesn't mean that the policies apropos to a farmhouse in a 1,000-acre cornfield would have had better results in NYC.
I can see how this can be so useful across the board. Well explained with something as tiny as a calculator.

> With the current high food prices

High prices? 2022 is but a distant memory now. As a farmer, I haven't seen food prices this low, nominally, since the bottom of the mid-2010s crash, and if you account for inflation it doesn't look like food has ever been as cheap as it is right now!

Perhaps you mean the current high price of convenience? It does seem the grocery stores keep pushing prices higher even as the price of food keeps going down, down, down.
Yes, looking for fair trade labelled products is important, and I also believe it is important to look for the International Fairtrade Certification Mark ...

With the “God of the gaps” things…it’s always hand waved away. Things seem mystical until science comes along a codifies it so to speak. And yet the gap remains, it’s just further out. It’s a gap we didn’t even know was there. It just gives me pause when I try to think about the totality of things. How can I say for sure how it came to be when I’m not even close to sure what it is.

Even Signal doesn't match the requirements set by this blog post.

It too has frequently prioritized features and usability over security. For example:

- Relying on SGX-based security for some of their features (e.g., gif search) while SGX has been thoroughly broken again and again

- Using phone numbers as account ids, which allows nation states to capture just one phone and immediately unmask the IRL identities of all other group chat members and contacts

Signal's authors have previously argued that it's better to give a some security to 100% of people than 100% of security to some people. Which is why they cooperated with WhatsApp on their encryption, or why they used phone numbers to ease adoption.

Matrix for example is doing exactly the same, just with a slightly different focus.

This narrow view of "Signal competitor" is more harmful than good.

I think there's some valid concerns about a meltdown contaminating groundwater, etc.

But I agree that "radiation" is something we should be thinking about more pragmatically. For decades it's been a scary buzzword that the public completely misunderstands and fears. We should be having more rational discussions about it.

Nuclear power has unfairly suffered attacks from "both" "sides" here in the US. The "left" has tended to be generally anti-nuke in what I consider to be very blind ways. And the "right" has closer ties to the fossil fuel industry and has always had a vested interest in torpedoing nuclear. These are vast generalizations with plenty of exceptions, but that's the big picture and I hate it.
There are native apps, but appa are native to a desktop environment rather than to an operating system.

Unfortunately desktop environments on some proprietary operating systems are themselves comprised of apps written with different toolkits and bearing different looks and feels. But that's just a problem specific to them. KDE apps are all maybe to Plasma, GNOME apps are all native to GNOME.

I allowed for some overhead, but even ifyou double or quadruple the space requirement, it's abundantly clear that space isn't an issue.

> Ontario cannot grow crops year-round,

It can, and it does. There are greenhouses and hydroponics - we would never spontaneously concentrate ourselves like this but if we did mass hydroponics and vertical farming would suddenly become much more economical.

Also, in this scenario we're free to move our ultra-dense spot anywhere on the planet, I just like Ontario.

> and only has so much water.

Ontario happens to have an absolute crapton of water - 20% of the world total. But that doesn't matter. Water goes in a cycle. If you have a large starting volume, the only limiting factors are energy and money to purify used water.
It's not super easy. Both sides of the issue have fair points. Clearly it's not going to happen within upstream signal any time soon(if ever).

So it would have to be a fork, and so far nobody seems particularly motivated enough.

Snowden chose exile over torture, and so has been separated from his family for over a decade.

Many people were tortured that didn't even work as journalists; just victims of bad metadata or the wrong name.

Many countries and organizations even consider so-called "standard practice" in American jails to constitute torture. Solitary confinement, sometimes for years. Refusal of basic medical care, nutrition, sanitation. Physical abuse from guards. Unmarked graves behind the jail [5].

Nowadays even environmental lawyers can get put in jail for the crime of winning judgments against fossil fuel companies (Donziger [6]).

* - Wasn't physically tortured, but he did reveal torture and was heavily retaliated against for his trouble.

The tool would need to output MusicXML. And maybe PDF as a fallback, if they can manage that. Each version of Finale uses its own complex, proprietary, and opaque file format. With no way to activate new installations of the software, the content of these files will become harder to access as time progresses. They should do more to allow the software to continue to be activated, as well.

"By default, GrapheneOS only makes remote connections to GrapheneOS services and the network provided DNS resolvers. There aren't any analytics/telemetry in GrapheneOS. The only information revealed to the GrapheneOS servers are the generic device model (such as Pixel 7 Pro) and OS version which are necessary for obtaining updates. The default connections provide the OS and apps with updates, set the system clock, check each network connection for internet connectivity, download a global database (does not vary based on location) with predicted satellite locations when using Location and obtain attestation chain signing keys for the hardware keystore needed for the hardware-based attestation feature."

Earth's Temperature Could Increase by 14C: New Research in Nature Communications
Building LLM evaluation suites. Basically trying to test LLMs for privacy problems (data leakage/memorisation, PII extraction sort of thing), hallucination(RAG, summarisation etc) and security/compliance stuff(like bias/fiarness, toxicity, jailbreaks/prompt injection).

Involves a bunch of reading research papers, figuring out which ones are relevant to enterprise customers and getting our ML team to build it out. The most interesting part of this is how you present the insights of a given test to a customer in a consumable and usable format. (Ex: Just dumping a bunch of RAG hallucination metrics isn't enough but you want to figure out what are the key insights and interpretations of these metrics which could be useful to a data scientist or ML engineer)

I'd much prefer seeing us close up the tax loop holes than create an even more complex system.

Yes, DP breeds expertise. But I don't think you can just decide to do DP.

That anyone cared if it was or wasn't, continues to surprise me.

Either way, the lab is in China and you can't do anything about it.

Either way, the virus came from China and you can't do anything about it.

Either way, China tried to suppress news initially and this allowed it to spread faster and sooner than it might otherwise have done.

Either way, wet markets were and remain a known breeding ground for novel zoonotic diseases that we'd like to not be like that, but we can't do anything about them because they're in China and we have no say in the matter.

Either way, the response to it has to be the same — it was out of control and killing people just the same, regardless of origin.

I wouldn't necessarily consider it a deal breaker - just something to be aware of.

National/Banking id/2fa would be a deal breaker probably - all infrastructure is built around smartphone apps now - and it's a challenge to find an alternative (ie hardware token issued by the bank).

There nominally is a national id system with printed 2fa codes - but my impression is that it is fading in favour of the banking id system. Except for a few government services like social security, where it remains a viable alternative.

For online payments, with a credit/debit card the banking id 2fa system is practically required to spend money online.

So basically it's a situation where you need the smartphone anyway, but wallet is optional.
