I don't think it is odd and I disagree with you. First, if you find too many search results, that is just as bad as not finding any. Secondly, when it comes to this specific issue, the quality of information can range from unusable to thorough based on what article about it you read. Given that "Secret overseas Chinese police force" is such a good headline, there are many many websites and lower tier news sites publishing about this. There seems to be no one catalyst publication that broke this story first. This makes it hard to establish any objective facts about it (for me). On top of all this, there may also be personal bias involved when reporting about it.

Given all this, why is it so odd for me to ask for more information here? Like, instead of discouraging me from asking for more information in the future, you could have listed the sources you feel are usable.
Interesting. Near me Ezekiel is a little less than 2x more than the cheapest bread-like sponge loaf but only about 50% more than the cheapest whole wheat bread that doesn't dissolve if you spread peanut butter on it.

That's not nothing of course, especially for a school trying to minimize food costs. Many schools (like the one I attended growing up) procure the cheapest possible USDA/NSLP-approved product.

But kids at these sorts of schools seem like they'd see the greatest benefit from this sort of legislation to raise the threshold of what constitutes a healthy lunch.

There are plenty of dishes that include unmelted shredded cheese. Salads and tacos are extremely common uses of shredded cheese here in the US.

I remember Steven Spielberg's Extant series kind of made a realistic effort in this direction.

Rather then pretend that the future is the Jetson's they made houses still look like houses, with house interiors that you would recognize today. However there is Future tech still just embedded or hidden away, unless you go into the labs etc.
> my screen I’ve become very adept at ignoring.

I unfortunately don't share this ease. As an example, I have to use custom CSS to completely remove blocked messages from Discord, because once I know a blocked message exists I can not seem to ignore it. The only way to properly protect myself from blocked users is to ensure that I can never even know they're there.

I do a similar thing for muted DMs. Once I know that someone has sent a message, I cannot seem to avoid checking the message. The only way for me to properly take a break is to ensure that there's no way for me to accidentally discover the existence of new messages. So I have some JavaScript that completely removes muted DMs from the list so that I won't even see them jumping back up to the top every new message.

I don't know what causes this to happen or how to fix it, but I do know that ignoring things has always been nearly impossible for me. Whenever there is anything I need to protect myself from, I need to also protect myself from ever noticing any related activity.

Maybe this is some sort of OCD, I'm not sure. Pretty sure it would meet the criteria, I guess.

I am always disappointed they didn't go all the way and made async/await syntactic sugar for a general Monad abstraction, like in Haskell.

Whatsapp has absolutely taken over communication in the world (aside from the US for some reason)? Funerals, trips, fund-raisers, even interacting with businesses is now done on WhatsApp in my country. When briefly I decided to try to de-Meta my life, I found that it was one service I absolutely cannot do without and still function as a member of my family and community.
My wife is a hospital pharmacist. Cerner is a poular EMR system, is ~#2 in the market (behind Epic). These systems are ridiculously difficult to change between (everyone from your front-check-in desk to every surgeon who has privileges needs to be trained on how the new system works in addition to the technical problems with ETL'ing all your data over, and each hospital has an enormous amount of customization done to their workflows that has to be ported over to the new system)- she's done that twice at two different places and it was a huge, process, 18 months minimum. So these EMR's have an enormous amount of lock-in.

The punchline is, in 2022 Oracle purchased Cerner, renamed it Oracle Health, and started accelerating the process of enshittifying it. I have to tip my hat to them, it's like their BizDev team found a market segment that had as much lock-in as SQL databases do, and are now trying to replicate all the evil tricks they learned from that in another market segment. Because what are hospitals but giant bags of money to be drained so Larry Ellison can buy another yacht?

Unless, although there's no reason to currently believe this, the energy requirements for physics are relative within each black hole, sort of (but not strictly) like how the speed of light is relative for all observers. And we can get a little crazier, and imagine a meta universe that is sort of like a Klein bottle in that it doesn't just recurse all the way down but somehow folds back into itself. Again, no current reason to believe anything like this but it's a mind-boggling to visualize.
I disagree with this:

> I think people voted for Trump because Trump was able to convince them that Politics is easy, that strong men can fix everything, and Americans won't be convinced as easily to vote for Democrats.

If it wasn't Kamala or Biden, the Democrats may have won. But only if:

* They rejected the trans ideology (at least to the extent that they play in womens sports / be in women's locker rooms).

* get tough on crime

* get tough on immigration without some fake border bill

* get tough on drugs

* stay strong on environment

They would have won so easily.
Thanks for the answer, but we haven't moved anywhere. Prussian state became a 'modern' (to its time) state not long before. HRE wasn't a state at all, and I'm not sure one can really call an assembly of princes 'a sophisticated government'. It didn't have direct power over anything for the most time of its existence, and to tbomk never had functional executive bureaucracy. Pre-Christian Germanic 'ting' is as irrelevant to the problem of modern representative democracy as qurultay (which existed arguably for longer periods, but most Turkic countries are not democracies). Practically all significant tribes had a period when heads of clans had their gatherings to reduce amount of internal violence. Long story short there's a tradition (starting from Marx, if I'm not mistaken) to call it 'military democracy', but once you look at it closer, it's a clear case of misnomer. In addition, I dare to say, centralization doesn't really correlate with democracy.
I wouldn't do this in a restaurant but a quick cheese sauce for something like nachos. Just pop some shredded cheese in the microwave with some heavy cream or half and half. Adjust to taste / texture. Stir well.

Some other recommendations depending on what you liked about The Egg/Project Hail Mary/The Martian:

If you liked explorative / conceptual Sci Fi, more for the thought exercise than anything else:

- Exhalation by Ted Chiang. A collection of scifi short stories that are quite thought provoking. Some sprinklings of religion in some of them.

- The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. A classic, also a short story collection. Golden age scifi.

- Project Hieroglyph. A collection of authors that partnered with Phd students to write short stories based on their research papers. Great concept with great stories.

If you liked Andy Weir's focus on engineering/building:

- Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. A man uploads himself into a Von Neummann probe and replicates himself to play Factorio among the stars.

- Destiny's Crucible by Olan Thorensen. MC gets sent to an alternate earth in a technological past, and attempts to re-introduce modern technology and build industry.
Same way any other language. That Rust defines what happens doesn't change the fact that it is a bug when it happens (in most cases).

Which is to say not nearly as well as I would like.

In those days of yore, the P-III was our first home computer (Hard to imagine for kids today that a family of 5 could have one PC shared between themselves).

I was the experimental, eldest summer child in my home. I used to break things trying, open up the hood & change RAM or other stuff, add/remove peripherals & their drivers -- and to the extent of nuking Windows entirely to try out Redhat 7/8, Knoppix, and other esoteric software (because partitioning sucked back then & also, why not for the fun of it). I used to load up dozens of software on that tiny Seagate 20.4GB drive until it crawled & failed. A clean wipe & reinstall used to soon follow.

The only parent-child contract was to bring back Windows XP to its usable state when direly needed by my mother to type/edit her dissertation chapters about women suffragette literature. I have broken & fixed Windows so many times, I could sing tunes to product keys
I'm very much not a Democrat or a Republican, and in many ways I don't give a shit what the Democrats do. But in the vein of "competition is good" and believing that a moderately heathy Democratic party is valuable as a counterweight to oppose the GOP, here's what I'd suggest the Democrats do:

1. Run candidates who are likeable and more importantly, likeable by most Americans. No arrogant "smarter than thou", preachy, judgmental types. Run people who are intelligent and ethical, yes, but with a folksy, down-to-earth side.

2. Drop the radical anti-gun stance and embrace the 2nd Amendment as being just as important as every other part of the Bill of Rights.

3. Stop focusing so much on identity politics. Yes, sure, continue to stand for equality and inclusiveness. But don't make gender politics, trans-politics, race-politics, etc. your lynchpin issues.

4. Reclaim your historical "anti-war party" status.

5. Don't be so abstract. Bring things down to a level that can appeal to the "everyman". Ex: protecting the environment. Don't just talk about "protecting the environment" in the abstract, as though everybody universally values that (even if you believe they should). Instead, talk about protecting the lakes and creeks that people fish in, the gamelands they hunt in, the marshes and bays where so much of our seafood grows, etc.

6. Go more in the direction of the Blue Dog[1] Democrats in general.

You can implement C in completely different ways. For example, I like that signed overflow is UB because it is trivial to catch it, while unsigned wraparound - while defined - leads to extremely difficult to find bugs.

Those two purposes are one and the same. The biggest reason for corporations to hire lawyers is to figure out the exact amount of consumer screwing they can legally get away with.

Whenever people come across any "terms" document, they are well served by simply ignoring it entirely and assuming it contains the following statements:

> you own nothing

> the company owns everything

> you have no rights

> you promise not to try and exercise any right you think you have

> if you ever convince yourself that you actually have rights, you agree to binding arbitration with the firm we pay

> you cannot do anything the company doesn't like

> the company can do literally anything it wants whether you like it or not

> the company is not responsible for anything, ever

> the company makes absolutely no guarantees about literally anything

> you agree to indemnify us in all possible circumstances

It also keeps the source formatting (or with ctrl-shift-V ignores it), which can be useful aside from the note taking itself.

Sure, and I also doubt people's ability to tell the difference in a blind taste comparison. People claiming to do so visually see the anti-caking agent, they don't taste it. It doesn't taste grainy. You can taste a bit of corn starch or cellulose directly and tell that it doesn't taste 'grainy' or even have much of a flavor at all.
The point is that the government didn't force these companies to take down the content. That, coupled with the endless legal witch hunts against Hunter Biden should be sufficient enough for Republicans but I guess it isn't. This story never dies for some reason.

You'll never see me defending our intelligence apparatus and I agree that it's bad they involved themselves. But, government agents can submit strongly worded letters all they want. It doesn't mean anything.

Would you be ok to specify the desired input/output types and have a LLM write the implementation? I don't want LLMs naming my functions. I don't want them telling me what functions need to be written. But I sure want it writing them for me! This works nicely in languages with strong types such as Haskell.

Sometimes I'm unsure about the high level architecture, the trade offs of the various possibilities. I find LLMs do a good job summarising them.
So far nobody expected this effect so no attempts were made to derive at least the bounds on it from the first principles. With strong interactions it may require a lot (like many man-years) of efforts, but it will be eventually done if no plausible explanation can be given using semi-experimental models.

Agents in the current format are unlikely to go beyond a current levels of reliability. I believe agents are a good use case in a low trust environments (outside of coding where you could see the errors quickly with testing or deployment) like inter-company communications and tasks, where there are already systems in place for checks and things going wrong. Might be a hot space in some time. For intra company, high trust environment cannot just be a workflow automation given any error would need the knowledge worker to redo the whole thing to check if its correct. We can do it via other agents - less chances of it going wrong - but more chances it screws up in the same place as previous one.
