Tell me of one where a small business can get an experienced CMS user/editor/publisher on practically zero notice, and at basically regular office admin payrates.

_That_ is WordPress's "killer feature".

And its why my best guess at the long term outcome here involves a smoking crater where Matt's reputation and Automattic/wordpress.com/WordPress Foundation/wprdpress.org used to be, and either a similarly "Mutually Assured Destruction" crater where WPEngine once was, or perhaps a decimated-by-legal-bills hollow shell of what it is now.

And something like ClassicPress or AspirePress or other forks to "soak up" the huge existing talent pool of people who know how to run websites using something close enough to what WordPress used to be, and the thousands for hundreds of thousands of theme/plugin developers and Wordpress specialist developers/agencies/contractors choosing to hitch their professional lives to one or all of the emergent forks.

And for millions of website owners to shake their heads again at how annoying but essential IT nerds and their stupid drama are for them to run their business/website...

Elon Musk has displayed incredible prowess at manipulating modern internet media. He launched "tesla shorts" right when a few big short sellers announced their positions (I believe one of them also put out a report about TSLA being insolvent aside from income from pre-orders, and was proven correct by Musk years later) and SEO-ed them into the ground.

I would assume that several of the pro-elon accounts on most social media are actually either bots or shills. You don't need many shills to get real people interested.
The problem is that we all vastly differ on what constitutes a positive change. I can practically guarantee you that you are somewhat unlikely to see changes I would suggest as 'positive'. On the other hand, it is not unlikely I would see yours as positive either.

That is why, for all its flaws ( and current set of issues ), current attempt at self-organization is simply better in the long run even if it is a little messy.

Sure, I understand the merit of it being displayed properly, that's something worthwhile.

But at the same time, if it's an actively used script, don't you think current users should consider changing its conventions?

My point was that all writing systems change, especially when the medium changes. Modern punctuation was invented at some point simply because the previous form of writing words one glued to the other was not ideal.
Tesla was not trying to hide this. The robots were telling anyone who asked that humans were helping control them. Unlike the robotaxis, which were explicitly advertised as autonomous.
Yes, when I was a kid I used to listen to a few AM radios in a Marantz receiver from my dad (not in the US). Well, it was not as good as FM, but basically it was usable as a source of music.

Now, from time to time I buy a cheap portable AM radio, mostly out of nostalgia, but with the excuse of being good emergency preparedness, and the sound is annoyingly bad even with decent headphones.

> What exactly does it mean to know something then?

This is one of the best questions ever, not just for philosophers, but for all us regular plebes to ponder often. The number of things I know is very very small, and the number of things I believe dramatically outnumbers the things I know. I believe, but don’t know, that this is true for everyone. ;) It seems pretty apparent, however, that we can’t know everything we believe, or nothing would ever get done. We can’t all separately experience all things known first-hand, so we rely on stories and the beliefs they invoke in order to survive and progress as a species.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, tbh.
Human Lifespan Might Be About to Hit a Ceiling, Experts Say
Kaiser measures BP on every visit and arm position seems like the least of their worries:

- no rest period before measurement

- measured through a medium-thickness sweatshirt sleeve

- cold hospital hallway

- no back on the chair

- no height adjustment on the chair

- no real surface to rest your arm on (They usually use the handle of the equipment cart that the BP monitor is mounted to)

- Zero attention to cuff positioning/orientation

I've come in at 160/90 but went down to 120/80 after rotating the cuff 1-2cm and resting for a few minutes. Manual measurements from the doctor are usually more accurate.

Automattic are claiming they own the trademark on WordPress, WP, etc, when it comes to CMS software & hosting of that software.

WP Engine is a prominent hosting provider for WordPress, who also contribute several very popular plugins.

Automattic have sued WP Engine. Automattic have blocked WP Engine from updating any of their plugins, or anything else on wordpress.org. A vulnerability was found in a WP Engine plugin, and Automattic have taken it over (but are not doing any maintenance). Automattic's CEO went on a number of unhinged rants here and elsewhere.

This?

https://apnews.com/article/radio-station-tower-stolen-am-fm-...

In context, your comment could easily be read as suggesting the radio tower was so unimportant that zero people noticed something amiss until a landscaping crew saw that it was physically missing.

If so, ok, that would be a pretty big waste of a radio tower. But did it really happen like your comment implies? No regular listeners tuned in and heard … static? Unlikely. Nobody scratched their head? Nobody who worked at the station got curious?

Here is what the article wrote:

> The theft was discovered Feb. 2, when a maintenance crew arrived in the wooded area where the tower once stood and found it gone.

This makes perfect sense because one does typically have to put eyes on the thing (or the lack of it) to conclusively prove that a theft occurred. I don’t think it would be possible to steal a radio tower while it was broadcasting. I don’t think it would be likely that the talk radio guy or DJ would say “sorry the transmission is about to be terminated because the tower is getting stolen.”

Or it was the middle of the night and the station wasn’t broadcasting. Anyhow. This is one of the sadder and more hilarious windows into what people will do for money. Where do you sell a stolen AM radio tower? How much is it worth?

Im sorry but as a doctor this made me crack up. I don't know what it is about HN that makes people jump into every medical thread and say really absurd things. Skipping screening tests isn't one-upping your PCP. You just get to play harder with specialty when stuff starts to break. Good luck buddy.
If you're doing a double leg press (especially in conjunction with a Valsalva maneuver) you can get an instant BP reading as high as 320/250. If that's your idle BP then you're not long for this world lol.

If your BP - measured in a specific and consistent set of conditions - is elevated vs baseline then you are at an increased risk for a set of medical conditions. Researchers could have picked any set of conditions to establish that baseline but I assume that idle is easier to standardize on than e.g. double leg press with 3 RIR. It's not which condition per se but rather that it's the condition researchers aligned on and studied.

The problem is that if the risk is established based on your deviation from the baseline, then you must be measured in the same conditions under which the baseline was established otherwise the results don't mean much if anything at all.
This is an instant buy for me. I've been looking for a 'smart timer' that I can interact with programmatically and via Home Assistant for the longest time. I'd resigned myself to either building a terrible version myself or hiring someone to make a bespoke one. I'm super glad you're making this!

> We’re still more than a decade away from having enough batteries to make this shift.

A decade to have significant amounts of battery storage is actually a pretty optimistic timeline compared to nuclear. Nuclear plant construction times are on the order of a decade or (realistically) two decades in the West, if you include planning. In China they're managing 7 years, but their nuclear buildouts, while impressive, aren't trending an upward path when compared to renewables (see chart here [1].) SMRs might change this, but they're years from leaving "research" status and entering the mass-production/learning curves that could make them cost competitive.

This doesn't make me happy. If I thought nuclear was viable on the timelines we have to dampen climate change, I'd be 100% in favor of it. If we could assemble the political will to raise taxes and build nuclear at "wartime" speeds, I'd say go for it. I'm also very much in favor of SMR development, just not willing to bet the house on it.

As it stands, there isn't anywhere near enough nuclear power in the planning pipeline for nuclear to matter much on a 20 year timeline.

In any case, we are not going to a 100% renewable/battery grid in 10 years. The first goal is to get renewables to 90-95% or more of power generation, massively overbuilt with short-term battery storage backed by intermittent fossil fuels for the remaining 5-10%. This will represent a massive reduction in emissions. The last 5-10% will have to be completed over the next couple of decades, and the increasing battery production trend gives hope that it can be.

The worst problem with existing nuclear is that with a 15-20 year planning/construction timeline and the current molasses build rate, new nuclear plants will arrive right at the moment when cheap storage is eating the economic use-cases that make them financially viable.

Yeah. One of those clients is hosted on GCE. She is quite technical and plugged into general IT news, and they are in the middle of due diligence with potential investors though.

Each robot had several human escorts, and the robots were limited to slow walking and a few slow hand gestures. The only danger would be if one fell over.

1x NEO looks awesome and far more advanced than this version of Optimus. I'm bullish on 1x. Tesla has a manufacturing advantage though. There were 50 units of Optimus at the event and I expect that there are only a few fully working units of NEO made so far. Also, Optimus has been improving quickly. It's possible Tesla could catch up in a few generations.
Do you think "considering" is enough to reach a correct conclusion?

I'm not making the mistake of thinking they didn't consider it. I think every human is bad at considering.

But it's also true that a lot of them really haven't considered it.
I'm surprised MS didn't eventually back down on the TPM and CPU generation requirement.

Really?

Drones come over a military base, night after night, and the military can't track them? Not by radar, and not even visually? They can see them; why not follow them with a chase helicopter?

They are hardly even trying. Not trying to shoot it down, not trying to jam it, not trying to follow it. (They were trying to have the cops follow it based on called in reports? Seriously?)

After all that has happened in Ukraine, nobody thought that drones flying over a US base, repeatedly, might be something to take seriously?

I have a hard time buying it. Yes, I know, the US military is capable of being almost unbelievably dense, but I wonder if this isn't more of an aw-shucks routine. "No, we don't know who would be doing such a thing to us. It's really a mystery..." - while they've very quietly been tracking it and developing countermeasures.
Anyone that has a real need for something like that is either using either very specialized (and expensive) hardware, or some peripheral solution like TFA. We already have general purpose, mass produced devices that benefit from huge scale, and there's no such scale in amateur radio.
Depends on skill.

Where I live it looks like someone lost their home (I guess through job loss etc) before it was finished. Right when framing would've started. The lumber was already delivered including all the roof trusses. The only thing actually standing was the concrete basement walls, I-beams and flooring. Those parts were done quite fast as well.

Then, for a very long time nothing happened. The people I saw there once, looking at everything I never saw again.

But then, couple months later, always in the evenings, a single guy could be seen building walls on the floor and putting them up one by one and soon enough there was Typar looking at us. The only other people I saw there helping was one time when he was putting up the roof trusses. He did all the roofing (plywood and roof tiles) himself. The last roof tiles actually went on literally a day before the first snow.

I bet he worked construction for a living anyway but it shows that it is definitely possible solo. Sure, a framing crew puts up a wall in no time but with a few simple tricks anyone can put up a wall in sections all by themselves.

You're saying then that tools exist to scan and ping all babysiters and handymen across the globe, fingerprint them for version, lookup zero-days, apply them to matching staff, exploit that to monitor children remotely, and take control over home assistants function to shepard children out the door to a "party van" ?

That's the ecosystem that surrounds most actual IoT devices - I can't see home robots being any different.
> Because you keep phrasing things as if wrong and condescending are the same,

No, that's purely an issue with your interpretation. Drop your assumptions and look at it more objectively, if you can.

> Right now, the best way to support it is to counter your claim.

My claim is that your claim is wrong, lol. Don't try this slippery snakeoil salesman crap, please.

You're making the claim that "a lot" of people would enjoy their food better if they didn't have their phones with them, or were not allowed to use them. I'm sure you'll be pedantic and correct this, but regardless of your reply that's the general point you've made.

The basis for this claim is your belief that most of these people have an addiction. That's an unsubstantiated assumption.

For your claim to hold water, you can't just assume addiction, you need to prove addiction, since that's the foundation of your claim.

> I made extra sure you were doubling down

I'm not doubling down on anything. I'm simply telling you your assumptions are unfounded and that you are wrong AND condescending to assume so. I really hope emphasizing that 'and' helped assuage your confusion on that point.

> If you do want to agree with me that yes lots of people have immediate preferences that make them unhappy after a few hours

That wasn't your claim, and it's disingenuous to make it more abstract to try and defend it. It was your specific claim that I took objection to, not this abstracted significantly less specific version.

> It's an instance of a more general problem: people are not always good at planning and impulses.

There's also the issue of people like yourselves insisting they know peoples preferences better then they do. You don't seem to understand that your own preferences don't necessarily map to other people in the way you assume. Have you considered you're an outlier in a way that has nothing to do with addiction?

> By the way, do you have a reason you kept misquoting my argument? I feel like you should have to defend that instead just attacking me for correcting you.

It wasn't deliberate or malicious, it was just because I was typing instead of copying and pasting. As far as my argument is concerned, the quantity difference between 'most' and 'a lot' is irrelevant - the issue is you're insisting you know better than a group of strangers, regardless of if that group is "a lot" of people or most people.

6.S981 Introduction to Program Synthesis Fall 2023
Waymo has been demonstrating fully self driving cars for years.

Teslas also do it, and truly necessary interventions are rare these days.
Errr, I am saying that Elon's claims are obviously BS until we start to see Tesla doing something like what Waymo has had for years(1): a team of people ready to intervene and fix things that are outside the training set of the ML.

I happen to know a senior person at a autonomous delivery robot company, which employs a team of people for just this purpose, because even delivering pizzas around a college town in a small little robot needs this. For things like (actual example for them) a sofa that was being thrown away and was just left on the sidewalk, and so a human needed to confirm that it was safe to move around it. And so far as I'm aware, Tesla isn't doing this, which is why I think that their autonomous taxi idea is nonsense.

1: Personal experience from being driven in a Waymo, I hit the assist button when we got stuck by some double parked cars in a parking lot. By the time someone answered the car had already extricated itself, but it didn't start that until after I hit the button.
slightly off topic but ...

what I really want is a LED status display built into the top edge of my laptop screen (visible from opposite side too) that indicates -- when I am on a meeting / when I am muted or unmuted / when my camera is ON. (I should be able to turn them off when i dont need them and also have a manual override to turn them on as well -- so I dont HAVE to indicate my true status publicly when I dont want to -- I might even tie it to work only when on office/home wifi only for instance)

In WFH situations this would be a life saver as other people in the house might walk into your room / across your laptop in view of camera / want to talk to you about random things .... If this kind of busy indicator is present, those people can be a bit more mindful of your immediate situation and avoid distrubance / embarassment.
