It's really debatable if religious people actually believe in eternal life. If they did, they would immediately see that their behavior drives them straight to eternal damnation.

They don't seem to care about that, and the only rational explanation is that they don't believe there's anything after death. They're nihilists. We all are.
Do you park in NYC? I don't think a single photograph is going to convey sufficient information to make it clear that someone is violating parking rules, many of which are temporal.

I think it would also be weird to penalize people for reports that were ultimately un-actionable. Can you point to any government function that has a similar mechanism?

The rules on how to play begin on something like page 29 if memory serves. Personally I find that ridiculous. I believe the glossary also recommends to you pages that cover the concepts in both halves of the book, but the rules in the first half of the book are not written as rules… sometimes. Sometimes they are written like rules, and they’re mostly the full rules but it’s not the rules section of the book.

When I’m reading through a rulebook I want to browse headers to find the concept I want, and then read the text.

Here is the particular book if you’re curious: https://awakenrealms.com/images/download/ISS_Vanguard/Rulebo...

Beautiful book. Needlessly confusing. Shame also on them for spending 3.5 pages on how to roll dice, excluding the example. It’s like an ADHD pit trap. You’re reading it and it’s hard to remember what the hell you’re reading. For example you may find yourself on the example of the track progression call out box. Which was related to what again? You might assume it’s the text above about died with two icons, but it’s actually the higher level header on the previous page. Which was step 7 of the dice roll check, which you could easily be confused by because it sure sounds like it should be part of step 8 of the dice roll check: mark outcomes; which begins by telling you not to do this if you had a track progression.

Ridiculous frankly. Also largely game specific. But screw you Paul grogan. You had one job, whoever you are.

Chevron eliminated discretion regarding how an agency interprets what powers it has been given if the law is unclear about such things.

It does not eliminate the ability to make and enforce rules if those powers/rules are clearly within the scope of the law.

I have no idea about this FTC decision on this second point but agency lawyers tend to be pretty careful about such things.

"I was just in Shenzhen last month. It feels like a city that is 10 years ahead of any place in the US. The city felt extremely futuristic. Most cars on the road are EVs. Payments are all digital. Ordering at restaurants is on your phone. The entire city is extremely clean, civilized, efficient, safe which you can't say about any major US city. Hop on a high speed train at any time and go to anywhere in China within a few hours."

It's easy to make changes quickly when the people making the change don't really have a choice. I've heard the murder rate in North Korea is almost 0 and the crime is very low compared to most other countries. The devil is in the details.

"When you're actually in China, the constant negative stories about China in your head will go away. What you'll see is just like any other place: people working hard, minding their own business, and generally friendly people."

There was never any doubt that the people are nice and friendly in China. The issue is the authoritarian government. As an example, do some research on how the Chinese government treats people from the LGBT community and get back to me.

You can just use a CPU in that case, no? You can run most ML inference on vectorized operations on modern CPUs at a fraction of the price.
4090 is 5x faster than M3 Max 128GB according to my tests but it can't even inference LLaMA-30B. The moment you hit that memory limit the inference is suddenly 30x slower than M3 Max. So a basic GPU with 128GB RAM would trash 4090 on those larger LLMs.
> Despite understanding that precise geolocation data is sensitive information that requires consumers’ consent, Respondents fail to take reasonable steps to confirm consumers consented to Respondents’ collection, use, or sale of this data and consumers do not, in fact, consent to the collection, use, and sale of their location data by Respondents.

Is there some actual law that this is based on? I am sympathetic to arguments that this should be a law, and is sketchy and gross, but the legal requirement of active consent for geolocation data seems to be something the agency is just declaring to be true and daring lawsuits to challenge.

That's probably some of it, but I recently took up film photography again.

A few aspects of shooting film appeal to me... the imperfection (memories aren't perfect, the photos shouldn't be either - but I'm also a huge Impressionism fan, so maybe that's it). The delayed gratification - in a world where most things are "instant", waiting a few weeks+ to get results changes the way I mentally process the images and associated memories. And the higher cost per shot forces me to be a bit more planful about shots.

Of course, that said, I get the photos scanned (not prints), and view them in the same apps as pure digitals. So maybe I'm just weird or a hipster.

I did ask for a Polaroid for Christmas - full analog baby! The Go model is dirt cheap (for a camera), maybe it'll be great, maybe I'll use it a few times and stick it in a drawer.

It's a chicken and egg scenario. The main problem with running inference at home is the lack of hardware. If the hardware was there more people would do it. And it's not a problem if "enthusiasts" are the only ones using it because that's to be expected at this stage of the tech cycle. If the market is small just charge more, the enthusiasts will pay it. Once more enthusiasts are running inference at home, then the late adopters will eventually come along.
The addition to seeds oils in our food supply is highly correlated to poor health outcomes. Also countries that used a lot of saturated fat like France also saw less CVD ('the french paradox') than the US who switched though this has started to wane as they adopt more and more western foods. Of course correlation isn't causation but I think suspicion here is warranted.

There are also a lot nuances like if we're talking about EVOO unheated in a salad vs like canola oil repeatedly heated used in frying. Animal fat is more 'stable' than vegetable oil which forms harmful compounds when repeatedly heated to high temperatures so you can say it may be better than vegetable oil for that particular use-case without saying it is categorically better for all use-cases.

Filtering requires a filter to exist, which is time alternatively spent doing rebasing (esp. awful if you're not the one who wrote it and now have to make sense of the awful mess to achieve literally anything out of it). And that log contains like 4 completely independent things, which wouldn't ever make sense in a single merge anyway (unless you like awful merges of a bunch of random things thrown together in a random order, at which point reading the merge commit message now also requires scanning through and ignoring a bunch of unrelated things, and tracking which change corresponds to which commit named "."; never mind that a merge commit necessarily cannot relate notes to code changes as good as commits can; never mind that this requires a merge commit to exist in the first place, which too is time that can alternatively be spent doing nice rebasing).

As fun as it might look, I'm fairly certain that the original commit contents are entirely useless to anyone who isn't me, and by this point they're pointless to me too. I'm fairly certain it's entirely pointless other than a trip down the memory lane (which, granted, can be quite fun, but is entirely not worth basing the primary git log around).
From what I've seen of research on apparently-dispersed storage of memories in worms, I'd not be at all surprised to find that a human brain separated from a body has (assuming we could "boot it up" in that state, as you put it) lost a lot of memories or functionality beyond the obvious, even assuming we could perfectly preserve everything present in the brain per se.
This is the weird part, I saw the same comments in other threads. People keep saying how everyone yearns for local LLMs… but other than hardcore enthusiasts it just sounds like a bad investment? Like it’s a smaller market than gaming GPUs. And by the time anyone runs them locally, you’ll have bigger/better models and GPUs coming out, so you won’t even be able to make use of them. Maybe the whole “indoctrinate users to be a part of Intel ecosystem, so when they go work for big companies they would vouch for it” would have merit… if others weren’t innovating and making their products better (like NVIDIA).

When I first had got my nexus 4, my first upgrade over another Android phone that I can't remember, I was astonished by the improved fidelity of the pictures.

Then after I got my next phone I looked back and saw that the pictures had terrible artifacts that weren't hard to find. Now I'm on a Pixel N after having a handful of earlier Pixels and I can see the shortcomings of the photos it takes (and all its predecessors have taken) without much difficulty. Just zoom into the picture a little.

You're asking for a GPU die at least as large as NVIDIA's TU102 that was $1k in 2018 when paired with only 11GB of RAM (because $1k couldn't get you a fully-enabled die to use 12GB of RAM). I think you're off by at least a factor of two in your cost estimates.

> The state militias consisted of private citizens with their own arms who would organize when needed

The founders, in 1808, appropriated funding for arms to state militias. [1]. Previously the arming of militias was up to the individual states. Some would have chosen to just have private citizens bring their own arms. Others would have actually set aside a fund to bring those arms.

And that's blatantly apparent when you think about the wars fought after the revolution. Cannons had to come from somewhere and you'd not expect a private citizen to have procured one.

That was, in fact, one of the reasons George Washington disliked the idea of militias, because you'd be arming untrained and undisciplined citizens with weapons they'd never used before and expect them to somehow know how to operate them.

> To place any dependence on the Militia, is, assuredly, resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender Scenes of domestic life; unaccustomed to the din of Arms; totally unacquainted with every kind of military skill, which being followed by a want of confidence in themselves, when opposed to Troops regularly trained, disciplined, and appointed, superior in knowledge and superior in Arms, makes them timid, and ready to fly from their own shadows ... if I was called upon to declare upon Oath, whether the Militia have been most serviceable or hurtful upon the whole, I should subscribe to the latter. -- George Washington

Front end is a young person’s game because of the endless churn. It’s where I started and I love delivering a tight, next-level UX. But I’ve spent the last decade in enterprise distributed, microservices, integration, data etc with a ton of complexity but far less BS churn. Now I need to decide on a web stack and have been leaning TS, React, Next etc. But there’s no foundation you can rely on. It’s shifting as we speak, with the endless gyrations and new abstractions, and waves of complexity and simplification and breaking changes. I’ve never minded learning but in front end you basically zero your knowledge every few years. This is now an area I’ll happily delegate to an AI.

Of course I’m heavily into LLM’s etc right now so maybe I should stop whining. That makes JS seem like a glacier.

When I look back on my 45 years life, there are spans which feel like a different life altogether. I thought differently, and made choices that I won't make today. I'd say "in my former life" as if that life ended and a new one began. I suspect youthful immortality would be a sequence of many deaths and rebirths. If you had the neuroplasticity of a 25 year old and the experience and wisdom of a 50 year old, I imagine it won't get boring, and perhaps new ideas and modes of living won't require a generation to die, and a new one to be born.
