Windows shows my Desktop folder in four distinct locations in the native file manager. Some representations of my home folder have more files and folders in them than others.

I use Bash via Git4Windows as much as possible, but even there... `cd ~/git; cd ../Downloads; cd ../git` doesn't work because `..` from `~/Downloads/` is `~/One Drive/`.

It's... non-Euclidiean.

I bet that would be great (for a specific subset of games). MMORPGs come top of mind.

>It's not as if the batteries people are paying for become their property

It is as if. The article says it's a lease agreement, and provides this link.

>the homeowner "bears the entire risk of loss, theft or damage" to the utility's equipment.

What are you quoting?

Now I'm imagining a JIT compliter runtime that relies on LLMs to find optimizations.

Flagged?

Insurance rates are based on data.

I was a 2M Mini/Micro repair technician for a few years in the Navy. That book was our school and manual.

Dictionaries have been trying to retard linguistic progress since the first edition of one tried to nail down every meaning of a term.

What business is it of the USPS except to transmit all mail regardless of purpose?

The fact that the USPS would notice elections were being conducted is perverse.

Those who are apt to discard responses to what they should have been apt to discard.

The fact that reputable sources were not provided to justify the need for fixes has been reputable source enough.

Bullshit is produced for the effect saying it will have.

Stephen Levy's Artificial Life ended up being my first and only religious experience.

That's not Schumpeter?

Has anyone considered having Anubis perform more valuable hashing?

Like, maybe you can't stop the LLM bots, but you can use them as one-off Bitcoin pool mining pool participants. You have to assume that making them find hash values with N leading zeroes has led to finding hash values with more than N leading zeroes. Maybe run a Bitcoin node under there and let each visitor take a couple swings for you with their pickaxes.

That is the purpose of submitting them for review. Maintainers should be doing that anyway. Whether AI was used to produce the change should be invisible or not apparent to the reviewer.

Reputation, or lack thereof.

Proof of authority, essentially.

The only thing I think we can do is shield our private spaces from prying signals like we use walls to shield them from prying eyes.

We wouldn't have street lights if the Fourth Amendment could prevent the monitoring of people in public. If I can install a webcam pointed at an intersection and stream it publicly, anyone and everyone can, and eventually enough public webcams like that create a network that anyone can use to track what's going in public. The only thing we can really do is ensure knowledge of what people do in public is kept public.

Flock extracts value from public information and there's nothing Flock can do to prevent competition. Flock is only a problem for the moment because they have a relative monopoly on public information and can make claims or provide evidence nobody can contest, but eventually we're going to decide we shouldn't trust a private entity like Flock to accurately report reality any more than we should trust anyone else with a private agenda.

>Or maybe I'm just too autistic to have a nuanced take.

Who is doing the presuming? That sounds like a bad-faith interpretation.

It's bad math. You can't expect statistics to be applied at that scale, and I think courts would have agreed if anyone had tried.

Maybe things have changed since I was an Android dev in 2013, but I buy Pixel devices because I don't expect something to work well on most Android devices if it doesn't work well on a Pixel.

I'm willing to switch between Chrome and Firefox. On Chrome I get 66% body content I can't read. It's one of the reasons I stopped using Chrome.

I upped the font size on my Pixel recently and this is one of those sites where (in Firefox) the sidebar takes up more than 50% of the width of the screen and retains tiny text while the article itself wraps on a couple words per line.

I'm not a neurotypical xenial, but I wasn't any good at compartmentalizing, or when I tried maintaining different identities it didn't feel honest, like I was pretending. I didn't like the thought of anyone ever seeing sides of me that were inconsistent with each other.

That's the claim, and it's a belief that's self-fulfilling prophecy, like saying all politicians are corrupt.

If you can convince everyone that everyone is corrupt, it hurts anyone who isn't corrupt. You hear people preferring those who have no shame about their corruption, based on the premise that those who aren't overtly corrupt must be more sinister and dangerous if they hide their corruption so well.

It's a race to the bottom.

I don't think it's entirely customers' fault that companies could afford to lower prices when there was an oversupply price crash in 2023.

That sounds like the Success Oriented approach, as opposed to the Understanding-Oriented approach.

Check out Jürgen Habermas's Theory of Communicative Action (1981).

Are they connecting gas generators to the grid?

>Is there any research out that offers tree-less company structures that might actually work in the real world?

Elinor Ostrom's design principles for managing common pool resources (2009 econ Nobel) indicate that nested enterprises have been necessary to scale throughout human history.

mayo.k12.sc.us was my high school. It seems a shame they're not still using it.

They're meant to replace the bank.

Cryptocurrencies allow market participants to communicate value to each other without having to trust other market participants or an institution. Mining verifies transactions and commits them to the public record, earning the miner a fee for their work.
