> "We continue to provide weather information, forecasts and warnings pursuant to our public safety mission," the NOAA spokesman added.

"except for anything related to Climate Change, there is no such thing as Climate Change per our all powerful co-dictators. Also, we hope to be closed down so we can be privatized, this way if you want forecasts you need to pay 20 USD per week to obtain them."

I think the spokesman left something out, so I added it here above. Best to know all the facts since Musk/Trump likes to skip or lie about the important stuff.
They certainly do. The problem is that they're numerous, but nowhere near a majority. They're gonna need allies.

The obvious place to go for such allies is the center-left, who share at least some of their opinions. They'll probably block a lot of the things that the left would hope to get, but they'll get something. Even if they literally got nothing, it would be better than going-backwards they get from the "rightists".

The rightists have successfully fused with the center-right. And they've done that, remarkably, by putting the far-right in charge. Conventional wisdom would say that the center-right wouldn't go along with extremist policies, but apparently conventional wisdom is wrong.

Until recently I'd have said that reverse tactic wouldn't work, but I'm coming to revise that opinion. Not because I think it will work, but because I'm out of ideas.

I don't think it's necessary or helpful to create a whole new party for that. There's too much apparatus that needs to be created. It would be better to shift the existing Democratic party far to its left -- not because that's the majority or median view, but because the "leftists" won't align otherwise. That could well be a bitter pill for those who consider themselves center-left, but it's less bitter than continuing to lose.
Could you elaborate on the "hidden URL"?
Love that party house !

Looks like you have a similar soundbar to my LP-S08.

I had to open it up to access the battery, and interestingly the audio output on the PCB was naturally laid out for stereo operation like you would expect.

Except on mine only one channel of the PCB was populated from the factory, the other channel empty, and it was output to both speakers as mono not stereo.

Wow, you're right, last update was in 2022. I still see a lot of devices in use though. I guess the OS updates don't matter too much. Didn't know about the app store. I guess most people I've seen using them just use the preinstalled apps anyway. The last time I used one someone asked me to sideload something, and adb worked fine for it. The website was at least updated recently.
> The argument makes assumptions that consciousness is transitive or "sticky" in some sense, where if a property applies to a part of the system it must also apply to some aggregate of those parts.

I think the argument is really about substrate-independence. If consciousness is just about functional properties, then why can’t a social collectivity exhibit those functional properties?

Many materialists do in fact endorse substrate-independence - the common belief that an AI/AGI could in principle be as conscious as we are (even if current generations of AI likely aren’t) depends on it - and I think substrate-independent materialism likely does fall victim to this argument. Now, maybe not, if there is some functional property we can point to that individual humans and animals possess but which their social collectivities lack-but then, what is that property?

Other viewpoints don’t endorse substrate-independence. For example, Penrose-Hameroff’s orchestrated objective reduction, if you would call that materialism - I think you can interpret it as a materialist theory (e.g. the in principle empirically testable claim that neurons have a physical structure with certain unique quantum properties, plus the less testable claim that those properties are essential for consciousness) or as a dualist theory (e.g. these alleged unique quantum processes as a vehicle for classical Cartesian interactionism). The more materialist reading could be viewed as a substrate-dependent materialism which escapes Schwitzgebel‘s argument. But I don’t think most materialists want to go there (seems too dualism-adjacent), and the theory’s claims about QM and neurobiology are unproven and rather dubious.
Thank you for getting back to me.

I understand your perfectly reasonable argument to make from your position (user).

First let me tell you that I saw a lot of things out there including getrecall before starting building this and felt there was nothing out there that had a good UX/UI that actually makes it a enjoyable product (nice and clean).

I’m confident in the direction and committed to seeing it through by building something better for me and maybe for you to by doing it with more care.

Appreciate your feedback and while no one can control the future I´ve added this thread to my calendar do come back here in 6months.
Yeah it's why I'll never write a track to be published, ever again. I never made any money as a musician, and now anyone can put together stuff that people want to hear.

I imagine it's similar to amateur artists with SD, and social media managers with LLMs.

Well SpaceX does not need outside financing anymore, even while continuing to build out Starlink and developing Starship. Seems like a bold claim to say Starlink is not profitable.

But it is still not a business you would want to be in, because it is enabled by super cheap rockets, which no one else has.
Right on.
This piece focuses on emphasizing statistics over trig/calculus in the mandatory stages of education. Education has relied highly on tradition, and as I understand it (without sourcing) the trig/calculus path comes from German university tracks of over a century ago.

The relationship of statistics to gambling does make it relevant to today's teenager (in the US and UK, anyway, IDK about other countries). I'd add that some amount of combinatorics and probability was derived by analyzing games.

Also, in addition to probability, schools should teach basic logic. It's also highly applicable to daily life.

Adopting Arm at Scale: Transitioning to a Multi-Architecture Environment
(I do agree with you that the post title distorts the Mozilla license, for the record)

> I think when they say they have the right to "make copies of, retain.." - that basically describes sharing your content?

It does. But that is not the rights they granted themselves - they start that list with "for example". The actual rights they grant themselves are:

> To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve Microsoft products and services

That is all MS products and services. In other words, they grant themselves exactly the right to train AI on your content, that you had used as an example of the consequences of vagueness.

To move beyond this specific license - when an entity wants to do with your input only what you implicitly tell it to do (send a search query to Google, host & share a document, etc.), they already have all the permissions via implication. It is when they want to do more, that they need a license.
That is the default. Terraform fails safe by not deleting your databases on a whim, it asks for manual confirmation by default.
Yes, they're originated by PayPal, but collected by a different original recipient and from there sent on to the victim. The envelope-recipient is not part of the material signed by DKIM, so the signature remains valid.

The To: header _is_ part of the signed material so will list the original recipient not the victim — but the attacker sets the recipient name/address to something misleading like “Order Received” to obscure this, and sets the store name to some long text that will be misleading when templated into the PayPal invoice request mail text.

PayPal have long had a problem with failing to make untrusted supplied text clear in their communications, but this is an unusually convincing attack.

I don't know why they always use (compromised?) onmicrosoft subdomains in particular. In the samples I've seen they're getting an SPF softfail so it doesn't seem MS's relays are passing SPF for paypal (sendgrid's might...)
There are also Firefox forks such as WaterFox, LibreWolf and Floorp.

Compare this to a Phonovoltaic cell, which is similar to a photovoltaic cell, but instead of converting the energy of a photon into electricity, it converts the energy of phonons - packets of heat vibrations in solids [1].

Unfortunately, no one has as yet found a material with the right combination of thermodynamic properties to realize such devices. Otherwise, you could stick these to any source of high temperature heat and get electricity out.

Wouldn't the limiting factor be the outer layer? I'm not sure what layering would give you, or what adding a container would give you. For short bursts this may make a difference but the steady state means the system as a whole needs to radiate out that energy somewhere. More mass gives some kind of ballast I guess but kilowatts of energy is just a lot to get rid of.

So you are saying, all states need to fund weather research themselves. That way there will be hundreds of vehicles following tornadoes and many planes studying hurricanes.

Some suit was probably worried about cannibalizing their Teams business (even though Skype has better name recognition and Teams has a bad reputation).

It's pretty common in the dinosaurs like Microsoft. Kodak for example had working digital cameras very early on, but didn't do anything with them because they didn't want to cannibalize their film business.

Give a suit a KPI, and they're gonna optimize for that KPI.
How the heck do you apply this process to fundamental research? It's pretty much always the case that with basic research you could have cut 95% of studies after the fact and it wouldn't have made much difference in the end.

Because, unless you are a Big Corp, you can't afford to buy H100s. Being able to run AI on consumer hardware is essential for many AI hackers out there. And no, renting hardware on "AI clouds" is not reliable — still outrageously expensive, and the rug can be pulled out of you at any moment.

My rig is 4x4090, and it did cost a fortune to me already (still less expensive than a single H100). I would have happily used cheaper AMD cards, but they are not available for reasons like this.

Nvidia drivers are not open source.

Nvidia has open-sourced the kernel module "driver", which recently have been declared stable enough for general consumption.

But the kernel-mode driver is only a small part of what you would call the graphics card driver, and the bulk of it is still very much a proprietary blob.

The true open source driver for NV cards is Noveau[1] which works ok with older cards but is slow to support newest cards and features. Performance, power mgmt and hw acceleration are usually worse or not working at all compared to the official drivers.

I use a probably similar workflow (writing about everything, multiple journals - work projects, personal projects, notes taken when reading books, random thoughts, relationship topics etc.) and I feel like electronic vs paper/pen definitely makes a difference. I use both types for different things.

Electronic obviously has the advantage of being able to edit the text in a non-linear fashion, which I think is something necessary for the notes I take for work. Being in the same 'space' as the work I do (so on screen) is also helpful, as well as being able to include things like hyperlinks/chunks of code. Since I type fast, taking digital notes also lets me dump whatever is in my head faster (this is usually relevant for other types than work notes).

Paper on the other hand I feel puts me into a different headspace when writing (might be the lack of a screen, or maybe the slower writing?) and is (usually, not always) more fitting for stuff I write about personal topics or books. Some types of notes (e.g. stuff about music) also benefit from the freedom pen on paper gives you - adding scribbles, drawings, formatting text in non-standard visual ways. Small paper notebooks are of course also much easier to take with you on trips and write on a bus, train, park bench or w/e (I've heard some people use phones but I can't imagine myself writing proper notes on a smartphone keyboard).
Polestar locks in $450M in funding as the EV maker starts 'next chapter'
Dunno just looking at some file names they seem generic. I would guess carry over since Dune.
Respectfully. The idea that civilization makes men weak is bullshit. It was the agrarian centralized societies that waged war and destroyed the nomadic hunter gatherers. The more centralized, the more technologically advanced, the more successful a society is in war.

The exception to this rule is when a society destroyed itself through civil war. The western Roman empire destroyed itself during the Crisis of the Third Century when one regional commander after another declared himself emperor. Even during Augustus' time, the elite had a habit of cutting off their sons thumbs to avoid being conscripted into the legions.

The steppe nomads who conquered China (Mongols), Persia (Mongols), Byzantines (Turks), and India (Moghuls) were able to rule for centuries thereafter even after becoming "civilized". I would also argue this "civilizing" process was also a myth. The ruling elite kept their own traditions and cultures and lived separately from the people they ruled.
> in fact if you plug it into an engine, it shows an equal evaluation

I don't think this is true, and engine evals aren't everything.

Two positions can have equal evaluations, but one can be trivial to play optimally and the other can be tricky and have a 10 move long sequence of "only moves" that are really hard to calculate. The latter is a much worse move, if you are not a chess engine.

I can't see why the midterms would do anything to unseat him. Thus far what we've gotten from the current administration is exactly what they promised. I don't see why anybody would change their vote (or decision not to vote).

The House is close enough that the ordinary midterm power shifts could suffice to change it. And that would at least enable a certain amount of investigation-cum-harassment. But it's less likely to change both houses, and unless that happens with a substantial margin, it'll be hard to pass significant legislation to change anything.
I picked up handwritten journaling as a way of processing my life. It has been therapeutic through a few incidences in how I'm feeling whether it's about work, family or more personal thoughts. With each stroke, I am challenging myself to write more cleanly and appreciating the subtle beauty as the pen strokes create letters, words, sentences, ideas. I feel more at peace as I let my most challenging thoughts live on paper.
> The Industrial Revolution is why England could conquer half the planet, not the brutish nature of the English

I don't think that quote is about being brutish. The idea is that when times get easy, defence lowers (as why spend on defence?) and eventually someone else who is not living in luxury takes over, if they can reach you. I don't know if it's a valid theory, but I don't think it's about anyone's nature in particular.

FWIW, I ended up doing a lot of org-mode-like things by starting with https://zim-wiki.org a VERY long time ago; I use it for notes, scheduling, publishing my own website, and even slides with the s5 thing.

Somewhere in there, I gave org-mode 2 or so years and eventually gave it up entirely; it just really plays SO un-nicely with literally everything else.

Anyone else looking for this sort of thing, I'd probably point to Obsidian first, but I'll probably stick with zim for the time being.

Once you pick one of the many “extended Markdowns” (one downside of MD is that there’s no agreement on what it actually is), they’re essentially equivalent.

But they’re not easily interchangeable, so what you’re really choosing is not the syntax you want to use, but the environment and ecosystem of tools you want to live in. For example, compare org-mode in Emacs (decades of plugins, open source, TUI-oriented, very nerdy) to Obsidian (Markdown, pretty good plugin selection, closed source, GUI-based, approachable).
