I think this is where it's worth differentiating between different types of "believes in" (and why I think modal logics are cool). I can convince myself that a thing seems safe to believe, or I can tangibly believe it, or I can believe it in a way that allows me to confidently manipulate it, or I could even understand it (which you could call a particular flavor of belief). Practical use seems to fit on that spectrum.

I certainly don't believe in black holes in the same manner that I believe in the breakfast I'm eating right now.
>Specifically, why are 100% cotton socks so ridiculously hard to find now?

My theory is that it's because of Amazon reviews. For most socks on Amazon, there will be at least one reviewer posting pictures of how their socks got holes after a few days of wearing. These reviewers are ridiculous and seem to have sandpaper for flooring, sweat corrosive acid, or deliberately wear down these socks just to post the review. I've bought many different socks from Amazon and none of them get holes even after years of wearing them.

Anyway, I think that seems to have spooked socks manufacturers.
Very nice, thanks!

What I recall in my area was retailers and distributors doing the rationing themselves; "limit 2 per customer" and so on. Masks often didn't make their way to retail shelves because hospitals had purchasing priority.

Retailers mostly didn't raise prices even when they could have, because it wouldn't have been worth the bad optics.

Some people skirted the rules, bought out store shelves and set up their own at higher prices, but they were pretty thoroughly shunned and some were later taken to court.

This research, and increasing its entrance into the zeitgeist, is also valuable to give doctors a foundation to “prescribe” diet changes.

When confronted with chemo, it has been my experience that, doctors are reluctant to talk about nutrition. (I speculate, over a concern for their own ignorance, ala risking getting caught up in fad or woo science)

Sometimes even going hard in the other direction, saying “eat whatever you want!”, when study after study show a positive correlation with nutrition based methods targeting specific cancers and complementing certain chemo “cocktail”s.

They're employees. The employer pays them for their time and can demand that they attend whatever activities the employer chooses, from work training sessions to anti-harassment training sessions to sessions talking about corporate culture to sessions expressing the employer's views on topics like unionization.

If you want, you can hire someone to listen to you talk 8 hours a day on whatever topic you choose--there's no law against it.
Running AI locally in the users' browsers
I have been recently exploring and testing this approach of offloading the AI inference to the user instead of using a cloud API.
There are many advantages and I can see how this could be the norm in the future.

All of that sounds like the boring low-hanging life fruit that gets trotted out in videos by companies like Apple and Google as being "revolutionary." It's boring. It's staged. It's the easy stuff. It's well-off 20-somethings solving non-problems for other well-off 20-somethings.

Wake me up when I can say things like…

Hey, Google, are my custom license plates ready for pick up at the tax office?

Hey, Siri, ask my doctor to refill this medicine.

Hey, Alexa, how many charging stations are broken at the gas station on 16th street?

Hey, Google, why is this plant dying?

Hey, Siri, why are there so many people in my neighborhood today?

Hey, Alexa, did anything ever get done about that story in the newspaper from a couple of years ago about the Chinese slave labor being used to grow pot on illegal farms on the Navajo reservation?

"AI" just doesn't have access to the information required to do anything interesting or useful. And because so much of its information comes from the web, which is already so polluted on certain subject (gardening, travel) as to be useless, the AI becomes useless.
I think the only shaking part, is the Secure Enclave, which provides the root of the guarantees. From there, everything is attested so if one layer is adversarial, other layers can notice.
It is a race to the top and the special practice of transforming data into new data hiding the original data is more than an invitation it’s an obligation to get all possible data. Why? Because if you don’t do it your competitor will and you eventually get outpaced. It’s to late either the system prevents it inherently or abuse will happen.
Yeah, I would like Siri to actually play the album I asked for and not something completely different phonetically from what I asked. Or even when I set an alarm and not be told "I can't connect to the internet right now" while I'm using my laptop connected to the internet. Or if my internet is down to actually use the speakers that I bought as speakers.

The hardware is really well done but the software is either over or under-engineered to a stupid degree.

> Being "extremely conservative" in their rulings has no relevance to the likelihood of them being politically motivated

> It's entirely possible that the Constitution itself is "extremely conservative"

No, because they aren't actually textualists. Only when it can be used to propagate a republican agenda. Then, suddenly, they're not textualists otherwise.

I'm saying their lack of consistency in constitutional interpretation, combined with their extreme consistency with ruling that help current republican and conservatives' agendas, demonstrates they are politically motivated.

You would have to be both blind and deaf to legitimately believe this court is interpreting the constitution in good faith. Expanding the powers of the president to such an unprecedented and downright monarchic degree? Really? Let's not play stupid.
GLP1s have been on the market for at least a decade, they’re pretty well studied at this point. Their sudden popularity is due to the FDA allowing it to be prescribed for obesity (instead of diabetes), not the discovery of a new drug.
You conveniently left this out of your quote:

> The theory that "certain Jews" carried out the attacks "in order to focus the attention of the Israel Government on the plight of the Jews" was viewed as "more plausible than most" by the British Foreign Office
We kind of do know the long term side effects. Exenatide has been in use since around since 2005. They can include pancreatitis and thyroid cancer in a small percentage of the population. Modern GLP-1 agonists exhibit essentially the same threat profile.

EDIT - Just wanted to note that the cancer thing has only been seen in rats. Not humans. After 20 years we'd probably have seen it by now.
Presumably your mother and girlfriend don't have their Instagram profiles listed on their dating app profile that say to message them there.

> This just straight up does not work. I will be blunt - you are not suggesting a solution, you're suggesting a delusion.

> They really don't. They just have less access to food.

I lived in a fit, rural area in a "third world country" (Colombia) for 4 years, still spend several months there out of the year. The people in my town are not starving for food. In fact it is abundant and everyone has a garden and everyone walks every day and everyone knows their neighbors. The food is entirely local and shipped in from the surrounding farms every morning.

Your perspective is informed by looking at people like numbers, statistics and robots. But the truth is that humans are dynamic, social, organisms that are very capable of changing their ways.
Do buyers even know what features are there because of “AI”?

For example, on iOS, you can copy text out of photos (https://support.apple.com/en-ph/120004), you can search for photos without entering key words (not that well yet, in my experience, but the results are better than no results), predictive typing apparently uses a language model, modern camera apps do zillions of things to make photos look better, etc.

Neither of those are killer apps, but each does make the device a little bit better.

Obviously any retailer that sells vapes needs to accept them back for the deposit, and the vape manufacturers need to accept the dead ones which the retailers collect (and pay for whatever shipping is required). The manufacturers then get to decide how to recycle them, but are required to recycle them.

The writing's been on the wall for it for over a decade if we're being generous.

It's okay.

We go through this every 10 years or so, for at least the last 100 years. The market doesn't really have the patience to wait to see the aggregate or long-term effects of new "pop culture" drugs and formulations so we just charge ahead and then let another generation deal with whatever mess.

Ah, but I think you're overlooking one major factor. Convenience. A lot of the spontaneous stuff we do ("hey why don't we pop down to x tomorrow?", or "do you fancy a quick curry?") are things you're not going to book with a Turk. BUT you definitely would fire up a quick agent on your way to the shower and have it do all the work for you while you're waxing your armpits. :) Agentic work is starting super slow, but once the wrinkles are worked out, we'll see a world where they're doing a huge amount of heavy lifting for the drudge stuff. For an example see Her - sorry! :)

> I'm not sure what the ride quality has to do with that - it's 100% down to the suspension setup and choices made by the manufacturer, regardless of the drive train

Suspension isn't infinitely adjustable without other tradeoffs, including cost. Batteries are already very heavy compared to ICE drivetrains.

That might be fine for an expensive car like an Audi or BMW that have a high end suspension anyways (probably even driver adjustable), but that probably won't fit into the budgetary constraints of a more affordable vehicle.

The gold standard for WAPS is the Gorgon Stare system which is deployed aboard the Reaper UAS. The current version of Gorgon Stare uses five electro-optical and four infrared cameras to generate imagery from 12 different angles. Gorgon Stare can provide a continuous city-sized overall picture, multiple sub-views of the overall field and what are high resolution “chipouts” of individual views, each of which can be streamed in real time to multiple viewers. A single Gorgon Stare pod can generate two terabytes of data a day.

Since 2008, most of Intel’s chipsets have contained a tiny homunculus computer called the “Management Engine” (ME). The ME is a largely undocumented master controller for your CPU: it works with system firmware during boot and has direct access to system memory, the screen, keyboard, and network. All of the code inside the ME is secret, signed, and tightly controlled by Intel. Last week, vulnerabilities in the Active Management (AMT) module in some Management Engines have caused lots of machines with Intel CPUs to be disastrously vulnerable to remote and local attackers.

The study says that only the Fe(III) ions are harmful.

Most iron that can be found in water or in food is in the form of Fe(II) ions, because all minerals that contain Fe(III) ions are insoluble.

The only components of food that are rich in Fe(III) are the hemoglobin from blood and the myoglobin from the "red" muscles, which are used by all vertebrates to transport or store oxygen.

Thank you for providing a more thorough and complete technical explanation.

As you can see from my final statement, I made no argument that it was not a travesty. It was ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. This is not a defense of their inadequacy.

I was pointing out how it is absolutely incorrect to claim that it was a "stupid mistake". That argument is used by people implicitly arguing that "If only Boeing used modern software development practices like Microsoft/Google/Crowdstrike/[insert big software company here] then they would have never introduced such problems". That is asinine. As can be seen from your explanation, the problem is multi-faceted requiring numerous design failures in both implementation, integration, and incentives. In fact, the problems are even more subtle and pernicious than in my original explanation that was derived from high level summaries rather than the investigation reports themselves.

I do not know if this has changed in the last few years, but at Microsoft you were required to have 1 whole randomly-selected person, with no required domain expertise, say they gave your code, in isolation, a spot check before it could be added. This is the same process applied regardless of code criticality, as they do not even has a process to classify code by criticality. This is viewed as a extraordinary level of process and quality control that most could only dream of achieving. Truly if only Boeing threw out whatever they were doing and adopted such heavyweight process by "best-in-class" software development houses they would have discovered and fixed the 737 MAX problems.

Boeing does not need to adopt modern software development "best practices" and whatever crap they use at Microsoft/[insert big software company here] that introduces bugs faster than ant queens. The processes in play that created the 737 MAX already make Microsoft and its peers look like children eating glue, but they are inadequate for the job of making safe aerospace software and systems. What Boeing needs to do is re-adopt their old practices that make the 737 MAX development processes look like a child eating glue. The 737 MAX was not stupid, it was inadequate. BOTH ARE UNACCEPTABLE, but the fix is different.

To me at least, celebrating individuals using drugs that support an unhealthy lifestyle does not appear like a positive for society at large. I thought medicine was about aiding people to become healthy, not providing quick fixes to common problems. Why is this being celebrated?

EDIT: I do not mean to say Ozempic is useless or dangerous, only that celebrating it as a solution to the problem of obesity is. It is certainly a tool that helps people. I don't think it should be relied on continously. People need to live healthy lives to be healthy. I am not perfect, no one is. Losing weight is hard.
You'd be surprised how people will stick to a name.

At my last job, we spent 3 years building an electrical systems product with the same name as an eye scanning company. We had invested in marketing and sales that was practically useless once the executives finally agreed they needed to rebrand. It was the sort of thing that was pointed out on day zero, but the man in charge was too proud of the name. It wasn't even a very good name for our product.

And that was a bet-the-company type of choice. Lingo here is just some little library of no import to Gitlab's business.
You can ask for larger zip files. The maximum is 50GB. It uses zip64 which most modern systems should support. So still 6 files in your case, but at least not 50.
