You don't need a bunch of cycling back and forth. A few times is plenty. I have every-varying food sensitivities (mostly exposure causes sensitivity which will eventually fade if I leave the offender alone for long enough) and I've been around the loop of figuring out what is it now many, many times. (At least to the degree I can figure it out--more than once it's clearly been an impurity in an item. And you often don't know--I know "artificial flavors" is very likely to be a problem--but what exactly? I'm no chemophobe--second on my list of likely to be a problem is "natural flavors".)

Rarely does it take me more than one repeat to be confident of what is bothering me.
Gerrit, as I like to say, has a user interface that only a mother could love. But ultimately it's a very productive tool, so I just got over it. I even wrote some integration between jj and gerrit, making submitting stacks very easy and smooth.

IMO, Gerrit is the best currently available option by a large margin, notwithstanding its quirks.

DVC is (at least as I use it) pretty much just git LFS with multiple backends (guess actually a more simple git annex). It further has some rather MLOps specific stuff. Is handy if you do versions model training with changing data on S3.
Language may not be essential for thought, (most of us have the experience of an idea occurring to us that we struggle to put into words), but language acts as a regularization mechanism on thoughts.

Serializing much higher dimensional freeform thoughts into language is a very lossy process, and this kinda ensures that mostly only the core bits get translated. Think of times when someone gets an idea you're trying to convey, but you realize they're missing some critical context you forgot to share. It takes some activation energy to add that bit of context, so if it seems like they mostly get what you're saying, you skip it. Over time, transferring ideas from one person to the next, they tend towards a very compressed form because language is expensive.

This process also works on your own thoughts. Thinking out loud performs a similar role, it compresses the hell out of the thought or else it remains inexpressible. Now imagine repeated stages of compressing through language, allowing ideas to form from that compressed form, and then compressing those ideas in turn. It's a bit of a recursive process and language is in the middle of it.
That's how any financial consultant/auditor works: an outside team sets up shop in one of your offices with your management's permission to ask any person in your company for any related information. Then they compile a report/financial statements, send it to your management and collect their fee.
Is it really? For personal use I find that anything except file transfers uses a tiny amount of bandwidth (few MBit/s at most). That includes stuff like video calls, remote desktop, youtube, etc.

Technically, yes, that would close the specific single loophole exploitation; but that still enables airlines to do price undercutting in a single src/dst pairing without having to offer the benefits of that discount to the folks living at one of the stops between src and dst:

P(A-B-C) = 10

P(A-B) = 15

P(B-C) = 15

It’s neither fair nor logical for people traveling from B to pay more to reach C than those traveling from A, when the flight is already stopping at B regardless. So if pricing regulation comes into effect, I don’t expect they would permit that either.

McKinsey has been doing "silent layoffs" in the last few review cycles, i.e., shrinking overall headcount after performance reviews – as there's not enough work to go around. Hard do meet the bar for a one-year BA, if you've only been on 1-2 studies – which is not exactly your fault.
New York Times is suing Open AI... Take all this conjecture with a grain of salt... There's alllloooottt of hearsay in this article.
It's a bit of a magic trick. A "snapshot" is taken any time a command is run, and it happens implicitly before any actual algorithms or code for a given command is run (massively simplifying the internal design), so for all intents and purposes it's "automatic" from the user interface e.g. even checking repo status or otherwise small operations will cause a snapshot.

But you can integrate with https://github.com/facebook/watchman/ in order to have a truly daemon-ified option where any filesystem write will cause a snapshot to be taken.

Also add some tests to check whether it's psychosomatic. For example, a device that appears to be on but is actually off, and vice versa.

If symptoms vanish just because you disabled the power LED, then that tells you something else is going on.

This is highly anecdotal, but when I lift weights, I have an “intuition” about the number of reps I’ve performed without consciously counting them.

An example of this would be when I’m lifting weights with a friend and am lost in the set/focusing on mind-muscle connection, and as a result I forget to count my reps. I am usually quite accurate when I verify with my lifting partner the number of reps done/remaining.

As OP mentioned, many people have no internal speech, otherwise known as anendophasia, yet can still do everything anyone with an internal dialogue can do.

Similarly for me, I can do “mental object rotation” tasks even though I have aphantasia.

A deep and wide orange cast iron casserole pan my grandmother bought after the war back when you needed to get on a waiting list for an item like that because metal just wasn't available in large quantities for homeware yet.

She gave it to me a few years before her death because she couldn't lift it safely any more, and knew I would actually use it and appreciate it. Suffice to say that I still use it frequently, and hope to have it see its centennial jubilee in use.

"Full Self-Driving" but it's not "full" self-driving, as it requires active supervision.

So it's marketed with a nod and wink, as if the supervision requirement is just a peel away disclaimer to satisfy old and stuffy laws that are out of step with the latest technology. When in reality it really does need active supervision.

But the nature of the technology is this approach invites the driver to distraction, because what's the use in "full self driving" if one needs to have their hands on the wheel and feet near the pedals ready to take control at a moments notice? Worsening this problem is that the Teslas have shown themselves to drive erratically at unexpected times such as phantom braking or misidentifying natural phenomena for traffic lights.

One day people will look back on letting FSD exist in the market and roll their eyes in disbelief of the recklessness.
You are probably more at risk due to spending extra time with TSA people than from the machine.
The Rockchip in the R6S is very powerful, though depending on what you want to do there may be better options. The R6S doesn't have hardware offloading in OpenWrt. Many Mediatek Filogic SoCs do, so they can do NAT, routing, PPPoE, etc. while the CPU is almost idle. Banana Pi R3/R4 are good options or if you want something that is more of a ready-to-use product and doesn't requite SFP modules, the GL.iNet MT-6000 is really cool: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/

Runs their fork of OpenWrt with a user-friendly interface (though LuCi is also available) and you can also flash vanilla OpenWrt. They also have smaller travel models.

Of course if you use stuff that needs to run on the CPU (like Cake), then the R6S will be faster.
Yeah. You start by not electing a political party who hates government in general and regulators in particular.

Their opponents aren't always great shakes but it's no surprise that government functions badly when it's so often under the control of people whose existence is devoted to making it work badly. Maybe they could make a case for making it work better, but for decades they've said over and over that the only thing they want is to drown it in a bathtub.

I apologize for being political but surely people can see a connection between regulatory failure and management by an explicit hatred of all regulators.

Not precisely a policy wonk but I live surrounded by them.

I dunno; to me, it seems as obvious as the sun-setting of steam powered locomotion. It's only a matter of time.

And as we've seen, it's clear that the future of mobility is going to be electric. I find it hard to believe that if we look 50 years out, the majority will still be driving gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. So then the question is how and when do we get there?

> ...people in Europe are not buying BEVs

I can completely understand the reasons why. Infrastructure, the way residential areas are set up are not compatible with charging, price, inconvenience, etc. But those are problems that governments need to help solve if we already know the end result is that mobility will be primarily electric at some point in the future.

> it's not impossible whatsoever to block all 'radiowaves' ; it's impractical and needless, so the study isn't being conducted by anyone that matters.

It's actually even easy to "block all radiowaves" until all that remains is background noise of a level not dissimilar to that experienced by humans since forever... see TFA itself for technically an example. And yet we are yet to find any person who can reliable distinguish RF "interference"...

The Thunderbird team is working on a fork!

"The Thunderbird team was very sad when Firefox Send was shut down. Firefox Send made it possible to send large files easily, maybe easier than any other tool on the Internet. So we’re reviving it, but not without some nice improvements. Thunderbird Send will not only allow you to send large files easily, but our version also encrypts them" - https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/10/thunderbird-annual-repo...
This seems reasonable solution to try out. Location is not at least flooding. Also goal of making denser living environments seems more reasonable for future emissions reductions. Other places are likely to rebuild the massively inefficient and wasteful urban sprawl in risk prone areas. In every single way worse choice.
What part of my comment didn't you understand? Yes, all of them. We shouldn't do business with human rights violators. Full stop.
That's interesting although from a quick skimming it seems that these studies are focused on the activity of the bot accounts. This might give a hint on their relevance but due to the fact that their activity is probably above average it doesn't tell much about their percentage of accounts (in absolute numbers). So I am not sure if there is a studies that shows that something near 50% of accounts would be bots. The number is huge and that's why it is interesting for me to see if it is true and how could we determine that.

But I also don't think that the blocking change here would affect signal to noise ratio. You still cannot engage with accounts who blocked you but can see their public posts which you could do by logging out (before X required account to show tweets) and create alt account for that. Blocking access to the already public posts/tweets didn't make sense anyway. And I don't think this is even restricted to X or any particular website.
Of course you get rescanned if you move--fundamentally the machine is doing a panoramic image. I'm sure you've seen photos on the internet of panoramas gone wildly wrong because something moved.

The original version did use low power x-ray and people quite rightly raised a stink about that. Now it's backscatter in the radio frequencies--should be harmless. (Not that it's going to stop a well-concealed bomb. The machines see metal as "black"--but they also see the background where you aren't as "black". Thus they do not see metal that does not overlay your body. Say, something small attached to your clothes such that it's away from your body when you assume the position.) The machines are a lot better at catching smugglers than terrorists.
In my experience, the more siloed an organization, the more bureaucracy you end up with.

We've all had those experiences where, the problem we are trying to solve isn't inherently difficult - it's difficult because three separate teams are in charge of parts A, B, and C of the problem, and getting them to talk to each other, align their roadmaps, change their processes, etc. is impossible, unless you can go above their heads and force them to do it.

I think about organization design similarly to software design. It's tempting to think about your software design from the top-down, and design a hierarchy of siloed interfaces with encapsulated private data and strictly separated concerns. This looks beautiful on paper, but then in practice you now have to navigate through a sea of objects and abstractions and redundancies - getting anything meaningful done often requires "punching holes" through the siloes so data can be shared.

Organizations are the same way. Paul Graham wrote an essay[0] recently about the differences between "founder mode" and "manager mode". In a nutshell, managers usually think about organizations as silos - we divide up the company into a hierarchy of departments and teams and levels, so that only directors talk to middle managers and only middle managers talk to supervisors and only supervisors talk to the individual contributors. Again, it looks great on paper, and is what most people are used to.

But "founder mode" is when someone with a lot of political capital can step in and say, "you know what, I want to talk to the people on the ground. I want to find out what's actually going on below the surface in the org, not just the pre-packaged PowerPoint version I hear from my directors. I want to pull together people from across teams and across levels and across departments - whoever is best suited to making this project a success." I think that sort of "hole punching" can be really powerful, if the company's culture is amenable to it.

I'm open to both harm and interference, but what keeps me skeptical about these people's claims is that the effect level always seems to be hovering at the phantom p-ghost level... that is, exactly the level you'd expect if you keep running low powered experiments and occasionally, whether deliberately or otherwise, you end up with a p-hacked experiment that seems to maybe suggest something is there, until you look again. It's a common pattern and generally means no, there is nothing there, just p-hacked phantoms.

If you claim Wifi gives you a headache within a few minutes, and I put you in a Faraday cage with a Wifi router, and your headache flares up precisely when the wifi router's lights blinks, but not when it is actually on, because for the purposes of the experiment the two indications have been severed, then that's pretty conclusive in my opinion that there's nothing there for that person. And that experiment has been done, and that's exactly the result that came out.

Now, that doesn't therefore prove that no radio waves ever affect any human in any way, and it also doesn't prove that there isn't "something" going on in the person reporting headaches (they could getting headaches and just dead wrong about why; goodness knows I've spent enough of my life in that exact situation myself, I'm in no position to complain! add a bit of trying to get the result they expect and/or want and it's not hard to understand what's going on), but it does seem to leave us with a dearth of evidence to date that radio waves have immediately detectable impacts.
>You can ask whether people who have these severe language impairments can perform tasks that require thinking. You can ask them to solve some math problems or to perform a social reasoning test, and all of the instructions, of course, have to be nonverbal because they can’t understand linguistic information anymore. Scientists have a lot of experience working with populations that don’t have language—studying preverbal infants or studying nonhuman animal species. So it’s definitely possible to convey instructions in a way that’s nonverbal. And the key finding from this line of work is that there are people with severe language impairments who nonetheless seem totally fine on all cognitive tasks that we’ve tested them on so far.

They should start with what is their definition of language. To me it's any mean you can use to communicate some information to someone else and they generally get a correct inference of what kind of representations and responses are expected is the definition of a language. Whether it's uttered words, a series of gestures, subtle pheromones or a slap in your face, that's all languages.

For the same reason I find extremely odd that the hypothesis that animals don't have any form of language is even considered as a serious claim in introduction.

Anyone can prove anything and its contrary about language if the term is given whatever meaning is needed for premises to match with the conclusion.

Authored and editored sentence in the NY Times article:

NY Times: ”Researchers don’t know why heat soothes the syndrome, known as C.H.S., nor why certain chronic marijuana users develop it and others don’t.“

Let's read that again: "why certain do ... and others don't".

Now, a sentence containing numbers from Gotham Gal:

Gotham Gal: “Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is what a lot of the article focused on. Reporters surveyed 200 physicians who have different specialties and found almost 600 people who suffer from this syndrome. 600 people spread throughout 200 physicians? I mean seriously. Thirty-five million people use cannabis daily in the United States.”

Certain do. Others don't.

Later in the NY Times article we get this selection-bias + self-reporting bias gem:

“A 2018 survey of emergency department patients at Bellevue Hospital in New York found that among 18- to 49-year-olds who disclosed consuming cannabis at least 20 times a month, one-third met criteria for the syndrome.”

Pot or not, what are the odds of ER patients reporting symptoms meeting critera of "nausea, vomiting, and pain"?

Followed immediately by extrapolating to everyone:

“Based on those rates, the researchers estimate that today about six million near-daily marijuana users in the United States could have symptoms of C.H.S.”

They could. Certain do. Others don't.

And then one last amazing couplet about our 600 person sample:

“600 people with C.H.S. who responded to the Times survey said ...”

“Many of the respondents, who are in a Facebook support group, said...”

Oh. These do. Others don't.
I just don't get the premise of your argument. Are you honestly saying that stopping the normal flow of water has no negative impact on the ecosystem? What about the area behind the dam that is now flooded? What about the area in front of the dam where there is now no way to traverse back up stream?

Maybe your just okay and willing to accept that kind of change. That's fine, just as some people are okay with the risk of nuclear, the use of land for solar/wind. But to just flat out deny that it has impact is just dishonest discourse at best
