Yes, if you do the initial cross-over right-over-left, then a normal 'bunny' knot, with the 'passive loop' on the right, it's secure.

They have to match. From all the "you're doing it wrong" posts and videos I can only assume that everyone (else) is learning left-over-right for the initial twist, and then right-loop for the main bow, which of course slips.

I don't particularly like or trust people who try to deconstruct language, Derrida style. I don't like how they take words, turn them around, and proclaim they have a different meaning than they used to. The white is black and red is blue kind of guys.

They only do that to manipulate naive people and gain power from promoting lies.

for only doing their job when a manager is around.

Their behavior is similar to the chimpanzees in the study.

Now, let’s put that all together:

> Some people are known for only doing their job when a manager is around. Their behavior is similar to the chimpanzees in the study.

That wasn’t so hard now, was it?

Edit: I see that the two sibling comments to mine interpreted it the same way.
In fairness, my modern Danish apartment has a different voltage and power outlet in the place for the tumble dryer: 400V and probably one of these [1] though I've never pulled the machines out to look.

In practise, the massively power-hungry dryers of decades ago aren't very common, so my dryer is connected to a normal 220V outlet.

(Three-phase power in an apartment is now only used for the oven and hob, but is used in the building for the lift and the EV charging points in the basement.)

In the political sphere of America, It echoes back to the southern strategy all the way back to the civil war, slavery, and the fundamental racial divide.

Staunchly racist Americans have alls existed as large key demographic for coalition building. I used to be in the '70s and '60s. It was in the Democratic party, simply because Republicans were the ones that invaded the South and the civil war.

Around the time of the Nixon election, Republicans pivoted to the southern strategy to use the civil Rights act of of the Lyndon Johnson administration to turn racist Democrats into racist Republican voters.

To do so such large shifts in voting allegiance requires substantial election/ linguistic /propagandistic engineering over decades.

Trump is AMAZING at such linguistic engineering, amazingly while making no actual structural linguistic sense. It's abhorrent to smart people,but speaks right to the core of dumber voters.

Scams happen in every financial system, including credit cards and traditional banking. The difference with crypto is the opportunity for self-custody and true ownership of your assets. While Stripe may work well for some, their AI often fails and holds funds from legitimate businesses, causing severe disruptions. Crypto isn't perfect, but for many, it's a necessary alternative to mitigate these risks. It's about understanding the trade-offs and staying informed.

glad to see people thinking metacognitively, and now meta-ideologically about these things. while the author concludes there isn't a lower dimensional model of worldviews that is analogous to the big-5 personality traits yet, my pet theory is that there in fact one available that comprises at least some types of views, and it's made up of categories of rules.

there is a set of what I can only think of calling synthetic ideologies, which someone produces as a way to entrain others. they're basically mystery cults, where someone finds a recipe for internally consistent complexity based on an explanation, presents it as a model, and then acts as a gatekeeper to the model. my favourite version is ancient astronaut theory because it's a perfect instructive model, but things like astrology, critical theory, antisemitism, the occult, strains of esoteric conspiracy theory, some deep ecology, and transhumanism, are all analogs of each other in that they are predicated on the same iterative loop. string theory begins to look like a fancy one after listening to anyone talk about it at length at all as well.

does the system have predictive power about the physical world, or does it just generate evidence for itself and non-contradictions of it's unfalsifiable premises, and centralize the "guide" to its mysteries? some ideas are filters that are structured very much like comedy, but for credulity instead of laughter. (hate figures fit into this meta model as a pattern of idolatry as well.)

you can generate these logics of ideas and mystery cults with literally anything, and they are interpretive patterns over some legitimate or real things. critical theory appeals to a sense of unfairness, conspiracy theories are often predictive, racism uses a sense of other, the stars imply a sense of place and order, but it's the entrainment step into the promise of transformation and enlightenment that draws people into a worldview.

I would like to share a widget I recently developed! I created it for myself to check how I spend my time at a glance. It is all too easy to fall into a rabbit hole and lose track of time—or, on the flip side, to stay motivated when I see I'm in the flow and focused.

As someone with ADHD, I'm especially prone to distractions but also thrive on instant feedback. Having RescueTime statistics readily accessible has been a game-changer for me.

Some AI models like those from OpenAI or Anthropic are biased to the left. Anyone can test that. So actually people thought asking machines build arguments for them and trained them accordingly.

For pedestrian crossings at least, I did a long distance walk in England where there was signage at a couple crossings to the effect of look, listen, and be aware.

Clarity of purpose and long term focus. They want to be the indispensable industrial nation, and they are willing to make sacrifices to make that happen. They have kept this focus for decades. They have the lions share of capacity in multiple crucial layers of the industrial supply chain, from refining ore to manufacturing products, and they're on path to do the same with batteries, solar panels and electric vehicles.

Conveniently, these are also all the inputs to a late 21st century war machine.
I’m very disappointed.

Woke up at 4am (EU here), to tune for the main event. Bought Netflix just for this. The women fight went good, no buffering, 4K.

As it approached the time for Paul vs Tyson, it started to first drop to 140p, and then constantly buffer. Restarted my chromecast a few times, tried from laptop, and finally caught a stream on my mobile phone via mobile network rather than my wifi.

The TV Netflix kept blaming my internet which kept coming back as “fast”.

Ended up watching the utterly disappointing, senior abuse, live stream on my mobile phone with 360p quality.

Gonna cancel Netflix and never pay for it it again, nor watch hyped up boxing matches.

The point is that most of the keyboards for sale on Amazon are still USB-A, even the more fancy ones, even though Apple useds tend to portray USB-A as last-century and deprecated. USB mice is still faster and more fluid cursor movement than Bluetooth, too.

Also of note, even the most premium keyboards and mice are Full Speed USB 1.1, running at up to 12Mbps. You can verify this yourself through the Apple menu, About This Mac, System Report, USB, and look for your external USB keyboard or mouse.

Compare to the USB-C USB4 ports being capable of up to 40000Mbps. And, to be full-featured, they need to support up to 100W, or more, of power input, as well as output in excess of what would be required for a USB-A USB3 5000Mbps or even 10000Mbps port. Which is to say, for the cost of a single USB-C, a manufacturer can easily provide 4 or more USB-A ports, with a change to spare. That would avoid unnecessary adapters and improve compatibility.

Not to mention that most of the memory sticks are still USB-A, too, and there's no Fit USB sticks for USB-C at all, only for USB-A. Which means that it's far easier to semi-permanently extend storage of a USB-A laptop than of a USB-C one, which you may want to do to try out a system without messing up with your main Windows installation.

It's basically a nab against Apple's decision to remove a useful port, especially on the M4 Mac mini, where they now have USB-C ports that are not fully-featured anymore — the ports at the front have a different spec than the ones at the back, which we all remember now at the time of the announcement, but imagine dealing with it several years down the line, where you'll have to be looking up specs and troubleshooting your things not working the way you expect. They could have easily avoided it by NOT including the 2 slow USB-C ports, and including like 4 USB-A ones instead.

I assume the issues with counter depth and reliability are due to them not compromising mich on internal volume (thus reducing the heat dissipation ability around the compressor).

Very true! But I’d still argue the idea that (partially) relying on commentary is what causes bias is hubristic; in practice, it usually just means that you’re relying on commentary without realizing it. Like, take the instance mentioned in the original comment: reading “the text of a law”. This is a great thing to do, but assuming you’re not a legal scholar and a political expert specializing in that field, it’s no reason not to also seek out commentary that explains the intent and likely impact of the law. To say the least, laws are not objective — that’s why we need the judicial system.

In my experience, this overall rhetorical tactic is often pulled out by people who pride themselves on some variety of centrism/moderation, and are trying to dismiss the worries of others. This is good when they do it to beliefs like “crime is going up” or “criminal immigrant are invading our country”, but not so much when it’s used against “yes, he really does endorse P2025 even though he claims not to”.

Plus cmon it’s gotta just infuriate any interlocutor. I’ve never dealt with “well you’re just not smart enough to understand why I’m right”, and this focus on reading primary sources seems like a variety of that.

Again, not at all saying that they’re wrong to read primary sources, or that it’s not sometimes absolutely necessary; just that the “worldview”-based confidence stemming from such a practice is misplaced.

I've had really good luck recently running OCR over a corpus of images using gpt-4o.

(I wrote about this in 2015 and this post still holds up well with GPT: https://www.danvk.org/2015/01/07/finding-blocks-of-text-in-a...).

I also found that giving GPT at most a few paragraphs at a time worked better than giving it whole pages. Shorter text = less chance to hallucinate.

I see your point, and I agree. I think it comes down to weighing strategy, tactics and values. Values can really only have impact once you have some form of influence. And tactics can be necessary to establish yourself, even more so in a world increasingly governed by micro-algorithmic engagement and short termism. But it can also be dangerous in the sense of perpetuating values you don’t agree with, not least within yourself - a tactical win but a strategic failure. Some people pull it off - like Dave Chappelle, getting “fuck you money” early and staying real.
