This particular model has a very good color profile before that was common but all the units I got were literally falling apart or glitching. I really wanted to use one for vertical coding but in the end it became obvious every unit was defective in some way. QA must be non existent. Maybe they had a bad batch at Amazon, but the cs was the last straw. Took two weeks for a reply to a ticket and they were short, passing the buck and offering return procedures that would leave me without a unit for weeks. It was like they didn't believe me. The reviews mentioned getting faulty refurbs as replacements and I wasn't willing to accept that, so just returned through Amazon. Interestingly the boxes all looked trashed much like in the review. It was two years ago and I'm still really pissed off. What a waste of my valuable time. For some reason I got the impression Benq was a premium brand. If you look at their setup video they twice say not to apply pressure to the function bar. Must be built like lego from tacky plastic like the others. https://youtu.be/z1v_o4gXp-Q
Sure, but that changes the average too, not the maximum

When I say maximum, I mean that presumably 10,000 years ago, there were people who didn't get sick, didn't get wounded, etc. They died of "old age"

How long did they live?

There were far fewer of them, but they existed, and were probably productive, passed on knowledge, and moved civilization forward. They could have been leaders, or raised leaders, etc.

Exactly. If you trap the CO2 in a metal organic framework, say, and then compress it to 2,000 psi and inject it into a well there is some question over whether it will stay underground for the next 10,000 years. But seriously you can measure the gas while it is being pumped and know you won't see it again for a long time.

Nature-based and other distributed schemes have potential but you have little chance of knowing if they work unless you did them in a big enough way that it would have a visible impact (could maybe be done with iron fertilization)

You can pay a small amount of $ (say $20 a tonne) for junk carbon credits or pay at least $100 a tonne for ones that are certain in value. Note $100 a tonne on CO2 is $1 a gallon of gas. People would bitch about a $1 a gallon gas tax but having lived with gas more than $1 more expensive than today I find it hard to believe it would change driving behavior. A real price on carbon that changes behavior (and can decarbonize more sources) is more like $400 a tonne.

So long as there are cheap junk carbon capture projects though prices will be too low to attract real ones.
Yep, still happy with the decision. A lot of my comp at Google was stock, so I would have made a lot from the stock price movement over the last six years, and I'm a bit envious of that, but still yes.

I do still love the independence of working for myself, so I'm happy to have had the last six years of that rather than feeling unfulfilled at Google.

With everything shifting around AI, and big tech could be doing massive dev layoffs in the next five years. Given that risk, I'm happy to have experience as a founder rather than a dev who could be laid off immediately in a down market.

> BSP is just outdated and limiting

- In quake brushes are not just visual, but are also used to solve collisions. Without brushes you need separate “collision meshes”.

- brush based editors are much faster for prototyping space shapes. Art can always be improved later and is even outsourced. Gameplay is harder to get right.

- brushes are easier to reason about in processing for auto generating UV coordinates and light mapping

> just make smaller models and combine them in creative ways

This is a cost saving choice, not a better game choice.

What games do you want to play? The ones where the space is tailor made? Or the ones with a lot of copy paste?

Also if you look at the spaces in the article, they don’t have a lot of clutter anyway.

It's a bit philosophical, but I'm not sure you can really execute the same steps twice. A cycle would imply you can get stuck baking something forever.

When you come back to do the "same" operation again, you're fundamentally dealing with different items, even if it doesn't appreciably appear to be the case.

You might have different criteria for evaluation, but something has fundamentally changed.

Let's look at the simplest case you might be tempted to model as a cycle:

> "Salt to taste"

Now, that would traditionally be modelled in a flowchart as a cycle:

1. Add salt

2. Test taste. Too little salt? Go to step 1. Else go to step 3.

3. End.

However, in strict modelling terms, I'd argue there's a hidden parameter, "number of saltings attempted".

You wouldn't repeat that a hundred times and keep adding salt, after a while you'd suspect that your taste-buds had gone or the salt had gone funny.

So rather than a cycle, it's actually a series of steps with a hidden step counter, which eventually has different outcomes.
Downloading mac builds of software I have used for years for the first time (new to mac) has actually given me this popup several times and I had to do this `xattr -cr` dance manually, this is on 15.0/15.1.

I'm neither saying it's constant nor am I saying it's never happening. So far I have not run into any serious problems compared to Windows or Linux.
I was a dedicated grubhub user for a while until it became very obvious how much extra they were charging. My tactic now is to go the restaurant website and click whatever online ordering they prefer. Usually 5-10% cheaper.

I do fondly remember the days of just calling a restaurant and paying cash on delivery, although that really is less convenient and more prone to errors. I'd think you could do something very similar just over text messaging and have fewer misunderstandings.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I had thought about this as well but came to the conclusion that from the company's perspective, this is no different than connecting a random keyboard bought from Amazon, what do you think?

Another thought around this is that I don't even think there's anything intrinsically insecure about BT as an attack vector but most likely some old policy based on security issues that existed in the early days of Bluetooth. Or at least I don't know of any, but I'm no expert in this so I would love to hear other people's insights here.

Couche-Tard is atrociously bad compared with 7-Eleven:

- expensive - literally any other 'deppaneur' will give a better price

- poor selection of 'food' - it's only carbs, i.e. muffins, croissants. ( no chicken or onigiri or ramens )

- poor selection of beers - mostly cheap brands sold x2, independent deppaneurs sometimes carry craft/micro.

Seems that even Montreal has not enough density to justify any meaningful food in deppaneurs.

Well, yes, Putin is attemptng to revive the whole shebang and these countries don’t want it any longer. The threat is more countries breaking apart from the sphere of influence and Putin’s plan falling apart completly.

Had there been another plan, make prosperity by other means then yes, this whole thing would not be any threat, they’d have embraced it and played along and won on different fronts: they almost had the entire Europe dependent on gas. But then Mr Putin blew it.
"I'm not sick I don't need help" was a very useful read at one point. A key point I recall is the importance of avoiding taking an adversarial stance and maintaining trust.
For the audience that would be looking to use the WASM Component Model, and not be an infrastructure implementer of it, whether or not they meet some definition of a method, the component model does define things called resources [1] that have "methods". You'll hold a "handle" to it like you would in your own programming language with the expected drop and/or GC semantics (once implemented [2]) because code is generated to access it like any other FFI like C/C++.

With that in mind, the other confusing thing one may come across is composition vs linking within your WASM runtime that supports the Component Model. When you hear "composition" think of compile-time merging of libraries such that the bundle may have less unresolved dependencies of WASM code/implemented component interfaces. Anything unresolved needs to be linked at runtime with your WASM runtime of choice, like wasmtime [3]. Pretty interesting reading/potential after reading if you ask me -- sounds like you could implement something like a custom Java classloader hierarchy [4].

But I'd agree with a statement saying it is still a long way for general usage.

Yeah it’s intuitive, but it’s the first confirmation of such a thing! Yay, science. They discuss the previously-plausible theory that echolocation provided local momentary info only, and didn’t translate into long term spatial memories. A subtle distinction perhaps, but an important one if we want to get closer to knowing What It’s Like To Be A Bat.

Reading it brought me joy for no other reason than imagining researchers strapping blindfolds and nose plugs to “tiny” bats. Thank you for your service, bats
> I never personally expected anything close to neologism out of LLMs, not sure whether that was a common expectation.

You just described how LLMs have not "nailed it" at being an "analog for the language center of a brain." Creating neologisms is something our language centers do.

> They could absolutely create a novel idea when predicting what a person might say, but LLMs have no way of working through the logic behind the idea or modelling reality to see if the idea might work.... but at the end of the day humans would have to sift through testing or logically invalidating each option generated.

What are some site(s) to discover unique physical products?
Facebook is amazingly good at showing me ads for physical products that interest me. Things, I'd never find on my own. They're so relevant, I've actually disabled my ad blocker for Facebook in hopes of seeing more ads. That's a sentence I can't even believe I wrote. Is there a product hunt for physical stuff?
> He explained that these concepts were not intended to be taken literally, but rather were presented as a “science-fiction storyline” to start conversation.

I think we need more space for devil's advocacy. We don't really know what we believe unless we can calmly, rationally argue for it rather than evading it. Modest proposals have a lot to teach. Failing to engage with alternatives to our values makes us more vulnerable to them, not less. The world would not be improved if The Handmaid's Tale had been suppressed, and a non-fictional debate on a similar topic is no different.

This example amounts to a gedankenexperiment simulation of an alternative incentive structure. We have a lot to learn about the effect of incentives, and simulations are the best available teacher that doesn't require tuition in blood.

Major problem with your survey there: Google travel doesn't appear to cover Ryanair or easyJet, or most of the other major European budget airlines. Select London Stansted, say (from which there are uncountable <100eur flights) and you only get one (because Stansted is mostly budget airline focused).

Your data is, more or less "if you ignore the budget airlines, there are few cheap flights from Barcelona", which is true, but not particularly useful. Dublin<>Barcelona, say, tends to be 25eur each way when there's not much demand, including taxes and charges (though you'll pay extra if you want to take _bags_).
The episode starts with a strawman (that Ukraine never had nukes) and proceeds to beat it up. It's a strawman for reasons I will not go into for long, but ones that should be obvious to a fourth grader: physical possession of an object as well as of factories used to make it (which Ukraine also had) are far more important than electronic systems of control. This now classic 1993 paper by Mearsheimer is a much more clear-eyed take, his recent positions notwithstanding. https://www.mearsheimer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Mears...

Aside from either, how many nuclear states have been invaded in the past 80 years? Apart from Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk oblast last summer, the answer is a big fat zero. Finally (and this also applies to my post), social media is the worst place for any foreign policy discussion because it offers asymmetric returns to a foreign actor attempting to subvert a country's policy who happens to speak the country's language, and English is a very popular international language spoken by many people abroad at this point in history.
It should decline some 60 sec after physical activity. I think I measured after 10-15 minutes. Fatigue, dehydration, lack of sleep, a diet with lots of coffee. I just added those to the todo list. I went home to sleep (and confiscated the heart rate meter), the next morning it was around 100 bpm which is still terrible shape. Over the day it sunk to 80, over the 2nd day to 70, 3rd a bit lower. Back at work it would barely elevate. The moral of the story: Don't work out 11 hours per day for 6 months straight.

I've used it for as long as it was introduced in Arch back in the days. The system update was an... experience then but that is the only bad thing I can think of.

I'm now using systemd, Wayland, Pipewire and all that in my NixOS installation and can't understand the hate. People should maybe just let go...
I've used it for both.... but for production only in extremely constrained/limited environments. Its every bit as stable as anything else... you can version the compose you deploy so rollbacks are easy, etc etc.

far more useful for development IMO, but when push comes to shove and you need a few things running together on a machine in the middle of nowhere with limited/unreliable internet access.... you can't do much better... a few volume mounts for durability and you're really in decent shape.

logs, networking, system health etc etc.... just all a few docker and docker-compose commands away
Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate it! It definitely seems automated schema updating is necessary if you're doing more than a couple of databases, and you raised many other good points that I hadn't fully considered. I can definitely appreciate larger clients wanting their own dedicated databases, so planning for that initially could be a wise choice.
Thank you again!

I can tell you from experience that this isn’t (solely) about politics.

Some, but not all, people sucked into the Fox News vortex literally have nothing else to talk about. Their entire life is Fox News, they will only talk about the topic du jour they saw on the screen that day.
It becomes tiring to try to connect with someone who only wants to connect with you about hating the imagined scapegoat of the day.

It’s definitely not solely a Fox News thing, I’ve experienced people who will only think about the daily discourse on Twitter or are only interested in whatever twitch streamer got “owned” by whichever other streamer. It is draining dealing with people like this, especially when their entire world view is fed by misinformation.
Justifies? Of course not. But it's what governments did for centuries and do up to this day.

We can forget about history for a second, but just look at what's going on with China, for example. They've never attacked USA or any Western nation, they're restoring their country after centuries of foreign occupation, making their people life better, expanding markets with their goods, and USA is intended to destroy them. Why? Because they're an economic threat absorbing world markets and pushing USA out, so USA needs to act fast to preserve own dominance over the globe, because China's also building their military, so window of opportunity for military aggression is getting narrower.

To make it clear: international politics is never about justice, it's about interests. Those who're relatively strong trying to force weaker powers to submit to their demands. USA is the current King of the Hill, and they're trying their best to not allow anyone to topple them, by invading other countries directly, toppling governments, provoking wars by proxies etc.

I remember times when supposedly low Opensource software quality was a constant complaint. On the other hand I think taking Linux as an example, I always found it to be significantly more stable than Windows.

That said, it's a funny choice for Manjaro to go for opt-out telemetry. As a simplified Arch it seems to be popular among privacy conscious users. (But I don't know the project goals, maybe that's just coincidental)
> Would it be useful to have the ability to see exactly what was sent?

That's helpful (as long as the user can opt not to send it after review), but to be honest, I never really trust that all of the data that is going to be sent is being disclosed. Our industry hasn't exactly behaved in a way that encourages trust.

Well somebody has to be responsible for promoting the cancer which converted search boxes from logical set membership definition strings to "Smart™ boxes," designed to piss you off and then direct you to a sponsored product page.
> The meta-problem here is that the bar is unreasonably higher for free software than proprietary.

No. The standard is extremely simple, and for-profit companies deviate from it because there is no regulation guarding privacy sufficiently. No opt-out telemetry, ever. Opt-in telemetry is fine.

As a statistician, I get it. You want unbiased samples which an opt-out option helps to get to versus opt-in. But privacy has been violated too many times for people to be okay with opt-out telemetry.

The bar appears higher for FOSS because you can see the telemetry code directly. Just because for-profit companies are failing the bar doesn't mean FOSS should too.
