My carrier has a similar “scam likely” feature but afaik that is not directly tied to stir/shaken. I’ve also signed up to have calls rejected and can see them in the carrier app.

I have reported at least a thousand different scam calls over the past two years and so my blocked number list is so large it freezes the phone for a minute or so while it loads. Still the scammers persist…

I am actually not saying PGE shouldn't have to pay etc. But this dynamic is part of being a country. In some ways, it's similar to the insurance industry where we get a pool of very healthy or young and sick or old people.

What PGE did was terrible, but also there's a lot to blame on CA directly too.
The new builds are made of brick and block, and are indeed insulated really well. It's the millions of older houses, particularly Victorian ones, that are made of brick, are not usually insulated well, and are often intentionally draughty.

For many, a big part of the appeal was the low costs of living. Surely choosing relative squalor with low prices should be an option?
> Is there nothing troubling about the fact that the company who _decides_ what you're listening to decides that you only listen to their music? I didn't sign up for that.

Spotify doesn't decide a thing. Everything I listen to on Spotify is based on what I chose to listen to. I have to choose to listen to background music, and choose a Spotify playlist over someone else's.

> I use Spotify to find new artists so I can follow their artistic journey and see them in concert.

So do I. This doesn't take away from that at all. That's "real" music which is most of my listening. But when I want "background" music, I can put on one of these Spotify playlists if I want. But that doesn't affect my ability to find new artists and follow them. If I'm putting on background music that I don't want to draw my attention, those are not artists I'd be following to begin with. It's like a different category of music entirely. What's wrong with Spotify providing both?

You are probably right about LLM because barely anybody tries to use distributed compute (like folding at home was using).

But crypto is running 24/7 because energy price is still positive so people buy latest, most efficient hardware to be as efficient as possible. But latest hardware is expensive.

Not only this, but these music generation models were built with unlicensed content, not only do they bury the original artist they also just rip them off, not one dime no matter how much that artist spent on music lessons, music school, having a high quality instrument, studio gear to record, this is theft plain and simple.

There is no feature that allows the thief to disable the AirTag at all. In the notification for "an AirTag is following you" the link for disabling the AirTag is simply instructions for removing the battery. It's up to the thief to find the AirTag using the audio ping (which, as mentioned elsewhere, you can deactivate by disconnecting the speaker) and their human eyeballs.

Go back to the page you linked -- https://support.apple.com/en-us/119874 -- the bottom of this page has a screenshot of those instructions.

Is the software still garbo on Windows and Android? Last I tried it, it would crash after a couple hours and I have no valid airplay targets in my home. They were generous about the 2 month trial but I only needed 2 hours to realize that I wasn't the target market.

For all of spotify's faults, it runs on EVERYTHING and Spotify Connect is effectively borderless.
This still seems to negate the point you made earlier that there are huge productivity gains and 100% of them have gone to shareholders. It doesn't seem realistic that they are using all of the new services. I feel like I'm repeating myself, so I think this is the last post.
In strong decays, the products will contain the same quarks and antiquarks that have existed in the original particle, possibly with the addition of one or more quark-antiquark pairs that have been generated during the decay.

In weak decays, one or more of the original quarks or antiquarks will be converted in a quark or antiquark with a different flavor, which is a process that has a low probability of happening, so the weak decays happen less frequently, therefore the hadrons that can decay only through weak decays have a lifetime that is many orders of magnitude greater than the hadrons that can decay through strong decays (or electromagnetic decays, i.e. annihilation of quarks with the corresponding antiquarks).

D+ is c quark + d antiquark, D0 is c quark + u antiquark

Tcc(3875)+ is 2 c quarks + d antiquark + u antiquark

Therefore the 4 quarks/antiquarks in Tcc(3875)+ are the same as the 4 quarks/antiquarks in D0 + D+.

So this is a strong decay, because no quark or antiquark is converted into another kind of quark or antiquark.

For the Tbb- tetraquark, its composition would allow a similar strong decay into two b-quark + u or d antiquark hadrons, except that its binding energy is so great that the mass of the Tbb- tetraquark is smaller than the sum of the masses of the hadrons that would be produced during a strong decay (it is also smaller than the sum of masses of the hadrons that could be produced by an electromagnetic decay, see
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037026931...
).

This forbids the strong decay and the electromagnetic decay, so the only admissible decay must be weak, where one of the b quarks will be converted into another kind of quark.
The definition of "similar" is the problem w/ vector search isn't it?

Two populations can be similar in terms of conventional demographics such as age, gender, race, what kind of clothes they wear, etc. but be different in their behavior. IG users are "players of the Instagram game" and TikTok are "players of the TikTok game" and a whole system of values and behaviors are involved.

To take an example playing the "engagement farming" game on Bluesky I can follow people and know some fraction of people will follow me back, but who do I want to follow?

I postulated that the people I want are people who will repost my photos so I can try following people who repost photos but I find that reposters are not "followers" whereas I get a much better response rate if I follow people who follow another social media photographer since those people are "followers". People have an online behavior signature like that which for me matters more than the color of your skin.
I could be wrong but I believe the idea is that the growth mindset has measurable consequences. I.e., if you believe you can grow, you will learn/adapt more effectively to new situations and ultimately achieve more. It's an empirically verifiable claim that is either true or false, and comes with a pretty straightforward intervention (i.e., teaching people that they can grow) if true.

Of course people may also adopt it as a personal philosophy, but that's separate.
In principal, neither do I. What I take issue with is crafting elaborate but completely false bios to make these sound like real artists. That seems slimy to me.
Self driving vehicles, with current technology, are unrealistic outside major cities. Major cities are the places where you least need a personal car.

Google Maps still thinks the speed limit on a nearby highway is 35 mph. We spent several months without lane markers on the highway. Any vehicle driving around here based on the current self-driving architecture, requiring central mapping/planning and good infrastructure, would be ridiculously unsafe.

Not to mention how lost they would be the moment they turned off the highway.
The problem is a lot of Python source is actually a C/C++ file, so simply having "source based package manager for Python" is very annoying, as you'd have to manage your C/C++ sources with some other mechanisms.

This is exactly the reason I've moved from pip to conda for some projects: "pip" was acting a source-based package manager, and thus asking for C tools, libraries and dev headers to be installed - but not providing them as they were non-Python and thus declared out of scope. Especially on older Linux distributions, getting dependencies right can be quite a task.

Funny thing about the glass box. If you look down Tremont Street towards the bay you used to get a beautifully framed view of Old North Church. The sightline was considered a historical landmark (there's even a plaque for it in front of the Omni Parker House hotel). The Government Center station completely obstructed the view to Old North. Allegedly this is one of the main reasons that Government center is a glass box, it was the only way the construction was approved.
On one level, your idea is being followed. Rolls-Royce build the UK submarine reactors and are working on developing small modular reactors [1] for civilian use.

A big difference though is that UK (and US) submarine reactors use enriched uranium, SMRs won't.

It doesn't surprise me; that sounds exactly like how C++ has progressed (sans the enterprise beans, hopefully).

10+ years ago I considered myself proficient at C++. It made sense, I didn't mind the pointers, and while the std library still felt clunky, it was fine. But I tabled these skills, and they indeed rusted a bit, but surely I could bring them out when needed again, right?

Smart pointers with multiple variants, judicious use of macros, rampant use of double colons to ensure proper namespace resolution (which IMHO makes the code an absolute eyesore), to name a few. I won't argue these changes aren't necessary, but it isn't pretty.

Consider the plight of the dentists and doctors:

>There were some 90 dentists and around 30 doctors operating in the City, for the most part trained in China but unable to operate in Hong Kong without taking more exams. The City provided a handy alternative and they were allowed to operate there without oversight from the authorities. Many were actually very good at their job and attracted patients from a wide area – including a number of policemen to our knowledge – the best of them with smart premises along Tung Tau Tsuen Road that ran along the north side of the City.
It's an interesting rathole to go down. On the one hand, there are private equity firms buying power stations and deliberately turning them off to reduce supply, knowing that National Grid will call them in a few hours paying them an even higher rate to turn them back on... but also those operators get detected and, months later, fined out the wazoo by the regulator for pulling a stunt like that.

Also, electricity isn't any less of a monopoly. You can choose your supplier, but they do no more than administer your metering and billing (including the government insisting they install smart meters). Your house is still connected to the same domestic grid as everybody else, and it's National Grid plc that is selecting who's generating and when, and getting paid for it.

> Did PG&E cause the fire?

Yes. As I recall it, the fire was caused by downed lines that were energized during a dry spell, and the reason the lines were downed was due to negligence around maintaining the C-Hooks holding their high voltage transmission lines. PG&E knew that they needed to be replaced every so often, had a policy that dictated when they needed to be replaced, and then ignored that policy which ultimately allowed a C-Hook to fail and the energized line to start the fire. In fact, PG&E had commissioned a study as far back as 1987 to look into this issue and confirmed that these hooks had a limited lifespan.

They had clear knowledge of the issue. They had a responsibility to maintain the system to prevent the issue. They set policies around how that maintenance should be conducted. Then they willfully ignored their own policies, which lead to the issue they were responsible to prevent. That's textbook negligence.

So, yes, PG&E /did/ cause the fire. They were negligent in doing so. They are liable for the damages.

It's the simple reality: new construction that increases housing density in cities does NOT lead to lower rental costs. The best results are one-time single-digit percentage decreases in rents immediately near the new construction.
You mean the business that lets you listen to your favorite music on nearly any device in existence with seamless switching between them is actually a good business, and the actual middle men are these (quote from the article):

--- start quote ---

In reality, Spotify was subject to the outsized influence of the major-label oligopoly of Sony, Universal, and Warner, which together owned a 17 percent stake in the company when it launched. The companies, which controlled roughly 70 percent of the market for recorded music, held considerable negotiating power from the start.

That's just factually incorrect. Paradise was forced to take PGE stock (at some unrealistic valuation) as a repayment. The settlement is years in the rear view mirror now. I actually live in the area and meet people from Paradise. Most people involved got absolutely shafted and the money is mostly going to lawyers and accountants in San Francisco. Surprise.

PGE costs have gone up because the state's Public Utilities Commission and many of our leaders in Sacramento are in bed with PGE. PGE has been vastly underinvesting in infrastructure development and maintenance for the last 50 years, which is at least partially the PUC's fault by letting them take profits instead of forcing them to either lower rates or reinvest. The Camp Fire shined a light on the neglect, now they have to play catch up on 50 years of deferred maintenance in many quite remote areas.

Why?

Casting Doubt (friend of Fear and Uncertainty) is easy & viral. It's so unclear that it matters at all though.

We have incredibly awesome front ends that reprocess the x86 instructions into more tangible CPU-ish work, micro-opd and macro-opd and op caching. Yes, it is certainly painful to do. But the front end doesn't seem to be super energy intensive and isn't that big.

Ultimately if we did try to build a core where the instruction set was directly executable we would be fixed in place, wouldn't be able to adapt our execution units well. In some ways, having the execution units decoupled from the instruction set allows flexibility & adaption, allows independent evolution, that may have been a strong boon to us. Just saying we should build a better ISA sounds a bit pompous, an immature/negative intolerance to nuamce or demand of perfection - a tear it down mentality - when the complexities of life & machine architecture demand iterative adaptation & change.
