The party ends. Dancers look at each other and feel a connection, exhausted or refreshed. Why is there a connection between people on the dance floor?

Detroit, Berlin were spaces in which electronic music accelerated, reflecting an intent to go further into the future or outwards into space, including cyberspace, to escape the banality of the immediate environment outside the dance floor. A language develops to collectively approach a future previously experienced as private fantasy.

The DJ changes discs to keep the party going, deeply listening to the dancers' body movements as much as the music, dissolving, modulating the energy of the music in cybernetic flow. That's the mix. Waves of intensity, vastness, then resting down on the ground collectively staring at the sky, or recordings of Space Night projected on the ceiling... at this point, are we still strangers when we actually experience awe of an optimistic future?

The DJ can't foster this kind of environment when the ego is in the way, can't be a "rock star" or flashy. The DJ has to listen to make a humanistic virtual space that overrides the algorithmic dopamine-driven virtual space stored in everyone's pocket. It's possible. You have to want it for yourself. Otherwise... we drown in facades and cellphone pictures.
Thumbs up!

There's a guy in my youtube feed that literally focuses on specifically this aspect of speech.

I see a lot of emphasis on the tone and pacing, the music of your speech.

I can't vouch for anything he says but he seems to be recapping essentially common sense points, so i wouldn't reckon he's totally off.
The property 'renewable' has nothing really to do with it. And its strictly speaking not even true as the sun isn't 'renewable'.

The better term would be 'sustainable'. What you want is to have 'sustainable' near zero emission, near zero Co2, safe energy production.

Renewables also misleading because by definition hunting wales for oil is 'renewable' but nobody would consider that 'sustainable'.

So to write legislation with a narrow viewpoint of 'renewable' as the goal, rather then the goal being reducing on emission and CO2, you are shooting yourself in the foot from the jump.
A lot of focus on the video part or hand waving. A simple reason: one is many. Since the pandemic, the quality of calls has dropped. They generally lead to more; resolution is a rarity. Slogs are indeed exhausting.

They listed last summer, so now have public company incentives - I get it.

However given the cost of RAM is quite cheap, sales are slower after the initial Pi5 rush and there are a number of competitors would it have been much better for the company to say

4GB is entry level for $50,
8GB for $65,
16GB for $95

Would they have sold more units? Improved the range of software that can run on a RPI, increasing demand further?
in rural plqces often they will also use alternate ways to keep things good besides keeping things cold, because its cheaper or more easily available than using a fridge. drying things, salting (pickle? not sure of the term sry) etc. so they have less usecases for a fridge than us (lazy?) ppl whi just throw a fridge at any such problem of food preservation
Yes, if you knew ahead of time that the first digit of some such number happened to be seven, you could just hardcode your program to start with "IF n = 0 THEN RETURN 7". But that's cheating...

Let's denote the nth prime by P(n). Now, consider the real number Q, where 0.0 < Q < 1.0, and the nth decimal digit (after the decimal point) of Q, Q(n), is given by Q(n) = P(10^(10^100) + n) mod 10. Q, as defined, is computable, but (unless we discover some mathematical "shortcut" for computing the last digit of a prime number), I doubt we are ever going to know what even its first digit is (well, we know it must be 1, 3, 7 or 9–but which of those four?). And even if some such "shortcut" were discovered, I'm sure someone could cook up another such number for which there is no known "shortcut".

How about this: let N(n) be any FNP-complete [FNP is to function problems what NP is to decision problems] computable endofunction of the natural numbers (there are many to choose from, pick any), then define:

Q(n) = P(N(10^(10^100) + n)) mod 10

You actually think we'll ever know the first digit of the real number so defined?
There are many sites that rehash popular questions from Stack Overflow and other Q and A sites. I regard the scraped content as search spam. Of course, there isn't the same ideological motive behind it. I imagine that SO retains some kind of IP rights to their content.

Not really. It is a big difference between having mat 30 min to gym, school, whatever or whatever and not even needing a car and having to drive almost an hour to get anywhere. It is difference between "I can and will actually do it" vs "nope, cant do it".

So I'm arguing for democracy. I'm a fan of it and you see a lot of prominent people even within the US (Theil, the GOP, Curtis Yarvin, as well as burned out doomers) arguing and working against it so that is not just pointless posturing.

Democracy generally works well, and America becoming a poster child for "Why Democracy is bad" is a development that could lead to real horrors, at home and across the globe.

You don't have to condone political violence to support more democracy to avoid it. Even in nations, like the US, where political violence is celebrated every single day.

Quite a compliment, thanks. I learned this approach in industrial design school, where you're surrounded by a whole class of other people who also have their own ideas. You sketch your ideas and there is a real danger of falling in love with something too quickly and cramping to push it through. And then you realize, it only looked good on paper, or only looked good to you, or to were mistaken about its functionality, proportions, readability or whatnot.

Those who want to create great things cannot afford to fall into love with them. You can fall into love with a particular problem or question, but not with a specific solution, especially not if you came up with it.
also, it has been known for quite some time how damaging the near total reliance on cars and the associated infrastructure at that scale is. If you do absolutely nothing about climate change when you have the most resources to do so, then I cannot feel sorry about anything that's happening.

A new visual workspace for thinking with AI
I am excited to announce an upgrade to our ai presentation product,pageon.ai!

PageOn AI is an all-in-one platform and one of the top AI tools for education that allows students and educators to create engaging presentations quickly and effortlessly. At its core, PageOn is designed to enhance content creators' ability to tell compelling stories with minimal effort. It serves as a container for critical business data, creative storytelling, and lightweight business intelligence, all while being remarkably user-friendly.

We focus more on drawing the audience in with content at the first stage. All users have to do is provide a topic, it first automatically creates a best outline that can be edited before the final version is drafted, and then it quickly generates slides with highly relevant content in line with topic. This is very useful as it lets educational people guide the process the way they want.

After months of hard work, we’re introducing a profound predictive feature that will transform how people create. PageonAI will "read your audience's mind," anticipating their questions and offering personalized answers. Imagine having an AI teammate who doesn't just generate content but understands you. That means giving users more confidence.

Think on canvas, free from the restrictions of traditional PowerPoint. It's indeed an enjoyable experience when you've tried it. Every idea deserves PageOn.

For users who prefer a minimalist approach, PageOn AI also excels as a brainstorming tool, quickly generating ideas and slides that can serve as a starting point for more customized content.

The platform’s flexibility ensures that it works just as well for those who need high-impact visuals as it does for those who prefer simplicity and speed.

PageOn AI creates a visual workspace to workshop ideas, empowering people to think brilliantly. No one must think alone. That is what PageOn AI is poised to redefine human-AI collaboration, ensuring that in the future.

For more information and to try PageOn, visit https://bit.ly/40pihfs
Yeh, just load the RPI software image on and follow all the guides and.. oh.. yeh it's slightly different in small ways that could trip you up. Great, I love making myself more work.

> But it has nothing to do with the claim that "denying claims increases profits", which is simply not true.

Well, it's kind of transparently true. If the worst-case scenario is that you need to return some premiums, then you should always deny enough claims that you're always returning some amount money, as you should always hit your profit cap. The second reason issue is that an approved claim has Opex costs. The platonic ideal of an insurance company in the current system is one that collects (# of patients * annual premium), and approves 0 claims. If you don't approve any claims, you'll have the lowest possible Opex costs, because there's no processing to do, no fraud to check for, no follow up visits that might take you below the profit cap, etc.
Thank you for this. I had no idea there was such a thing as an "industrial photographer" let alone several.

I work in the manufacturing sector and there are times, despite the grime, frustrations with management/bureaucracy or general environmental concerns that I find what we do quite beautiful, in a way. When you see the choreographed dance of a production line, be it the size of a building or a small automation cell, it's really quite something that we were able to put that all in motion without catastrophic failure. The photo of the Global Foundry is really something, illustrating the intricate complexities I have encountered in so many factories that just look like monolithic beige boxes from the outside, housing virtual cities of activity within.
No, the biggest factor is that certain sports are more entertaining than others - even individual sports - and I'd pay to watch some but not others. I'd pay more to watch cyclists do the tour de france or tony hawk go on a half-pipe or Mike Tyson fight someone than someone do a long jump; it's just more fun!
I really don’t know. A second-hand tiniminimicro or a nuc-like seems so much more value for money

That sounds excessive even then. Its probably even more excessive now - some things are probably easier to manage on a small scale ~ there are a lot of tools for deploying and managing stuff.
> If there's a way that almost any institution or person that you're transacting with in good faith [...] can get away with fucking you over, they might. Not always, but expect it.

This. Always protect yourself, even when operating in good faith. You may only interact with someone professionally, but you never know what kind of person you are really working with. Sometimes people may seem nice, but are pure evil.

In this particular case, it is likely the people in charge are completely unaware of the people doing the blackmailing. This may even be criminal, so it might be worth just talking to the police.
Isn't USOS like nightmare of a system? I've heard of stories that people had to graduate after time, because they failed a subject at first year (!) and they had no chance to sign up for the course in the following years at USOS because someone was always faster.

Hi! Kosta from Octomind here.

We built basically this: Let an LLM agent take a look at your web page and generate the playwright code to test it. Running the test is just running the deterministic playwright code.

Of course, the actual hard work is _maintaining_ end-to-end tests so our agent can do that for you as well.

Feel free to check us out, we have a no-hassle free tier.
Speak less.

For practice: for a year, don't say a word.
One reason: your project is already designed around the RPi form factor, and/or you already take advantage of things like GPIO that are more specific to a Pi than a "mini PC" or whatever. And it would cost enough (in actual dollars, or just in time/energy/attention/etc) to redesign the project to where it makes more sense to just upgrade to the slightly more expensive Pi.
Are you commenting on the GP? Because if I had any self-worth, I would 100% strip[^1].

[^1]: As it is, I still dream and go to the gym every day.
You develop your application on an 8GB model and find out that 16GB is much better. You can choose to port it to some other OS with some other hardware if you like or buy a 16GB Pi 5 and save the effort. The choice is now there.

What's so great is that it's all up to you. There are "smaller" or older Pis still being made. More for more is fairly reasonable.

If you have a sort of inbuilt bias against "buying second best" that you might consider this a price increase. I have that feeling often. I don't want the second best camera .... and that ends up leading me into stratospheric prices as I finds better and better things. Fortunately I know this and realise that when I am doing it it's because I don't have a clear use in mind for the item - hence I can't decide what's "enough" so the answer is not to buy it at all.
That's not expensive these days. Apple would charge about £200 for 8GB more...
> I don’t believe this really

Ahh, but then, if it were true, you wouldn’t.
Arm nixpkgs build server is one reason i can think of. (But then 16gb is still almost to little)
This might seem far-fetched, but I wonder if all the money used for reactive actions to the fires and the billions lost during those, couldn't instead heavily subsidize a goat grazing industry at large scale.

Keeping the forest clean of combustible materials is the only real preventive solution, but that's almost impossible to do by humans (besides lots of issues with depletion of soils if done incorrectly). The old way of doing that (and raise meat for human consumption) in Southern Europe, was to have goats, lots of goats, eating up all that combustible mass and transforming it into meat and "natural fertilizer".
> Football is a top tier sport because it's entertaining.

Some dudes running and kicking a ball from left to right for 90+ minutes? They’re not even allowed to fight…

From all the sports this is certainly one of the most boring ones.
I doubt very much it’s a matter of lack of knowledge/education.

Rather various degrees of ‘fuck you, I got mine’ and ‘it won’t happen to me because I’m special’. Which, often, is true enough they can keep doing it until they die, at which point they ‘win’.

Sometimes though, either something happens and they ‘don’t have theirs’ anymore, or it becomes too clear it will happen to them - and some action occurs. Usually too late for it to be an easy or smooth change, of course.

Indeed - used vs. new of course, but if you're using it for raw compute, and you don't have like a 10W upper limit to your power budget (e.g. not remote solar/battery powered), a used mini PC is going to get you a lot more performance, IO, and compatibility, for a lower price (not to mention a case, power supply, and likely included SSD).

There’s plenty of room for reasonable discussion and questions, even about human rights. Are all human rights individual rights, or are there collective human rights (peoples’ rights)? Are there limits to free speech, and if so, what are they? Are liberties more fundamental than rights that require taxpayer expenditure? Is paid holiday really a human right (UDHR art. 30)? Does the expansion of the concept of human rights weaken fundamental human rights?
Evan drowns a good point in his own drama. I've moderated against him on a Stack Exchange site before and it's tedious how far he can push the limits. He knows the rules, the process, what's expected, and he knows how lowly moderators react when they the system alerts them to infractions. It's no surprise he's earned himself [another] suspension here.

But as a moderator, what the company is doing here is ridiculous and a seemingly flagrant abuse of license. If you take contributions under CC-BY-SA, you damned-well keep the attribution unless the contributor wants to be disassociated from it. If you don't want to be associated with a contributor, delete the account, and the content.

You can't pick and choose.
The mini PC also comes with a PSU (I assume).

But I think paying 50% more for the option of upgrading a low-power machine is daft. Or paying 50% more for an OS I don't want.

Legally? yes. The users own the content, SO only has a license to do as they please and users have already given CC license to anyone (that is the nature of copyleft after all).

Is it feasible to build a community that will contribute, and also get the search traffic[1], and be economically viable, particularly in the post LLM world? I don't think so.

In today's world with gen AI, the drive to contribute and maintain suck knowledge stores is simply not there, SO itself is facing a > 60% drop in new questions even as far as 2 years back https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38984742 (2023).

The tech itself is pretty trivial, even distributed and truly community operated like Wikis are, content creation will be the biggest challenge and i don't see the strong community motivation to maintain knowledge bases like this anymore.

Well the IOC makes an enormous amount of money that has to come from somewhere. That is a reflection of the demand. Tickets are extremely expensive and the deals for live broadcast also involve huge amounts of money, which broadcasters wouldn't pay if they didn't think many would watch. The point of this article is simply that a bigger fraction of that money should go to the athletes. They are prevented in various ways from bargaining collectively.
DNS and Why AXFRs Matter
Alright, this will likely crash cause I'm cheap but I've created a thing. If enough people find interest I'll scale up the specs. Still trying to get the guest password concept to work but Kibana is fighting and so I've given up for the time being on anony access. Either way the username is "guest" and the password is "password". You can have some fun here at https://attribution.run:5601. Tonights upload is a decade's worth of research on DNS. More indices will be created and the data is, something else.

For guest purposes I'll be restricting the usage of .mil or .gov searches on the resource records but knowing whether or not a given domain was scanned will not be hidden from the public view. For those wishing to research .mil or .gov a signup concept will be created and more information on how to access this kind of data will be passed along.

The data was gathered using https://github.com/stryngs/axfr-tools and much development has taken place in the last few weeks in terms of taking a very old project and updating it.

For those who might ask the question why does this matter I would offer to you https://zonetransfer.me, DigiNinja explains it best.

As of tonight over 1.5 million datapoints have been uploaded. Login and have fun. DNS is fun.

Email has not been created yet but once it is support@attribution.run is how to contact and request additional access.
