Is Flamingo a luxury hotel?

> €200-250 a night

this is still cheap compared to Vegas. even in the middle of august, when the temperature routinely tops 40C, hotels are upwards of $300-400USD/night

what happened with the lock pick village?

> Scientific studies show a real difference in brain structure - rightists have enlarged fear centers - so it appears to be an intrinsic evolutionary difference and it makes sense it remains the same across time.

can you point to a few studies on this topic? I am struggling to imagine how one would design a study to measure this

I don’t understand why LinkedIn allows their spammy postings to render the job search results page absolutely worthless.

I waited about 30 seconds in safari on macOS 15.6 and couldn't scroll at all

Which thinkpad was the one you had so many issues with, and which dock? I’ve had a few issues with my caldigit ts3 and ryzen 7840 p14s thinkpad but on the whole everything works pretty well. Worst issue has been a dumb regression with the Qualcomm ath12k firmware that wasn’t backed out for months.

I think the parent's point was that an app for reddit only makes sense because they deliberately don't add the features you like to the mobile site. There's no reason those features couldn't work perfectly well in a browser, they just choose not to (and to kill off third party apps).

It’s also their policy in response to “biasing” search results for suicide by including a link to crisis lines

I think of chirping as specifically mean-spirited bullying, especially in an attempt to provoke a reaction. Source: grew up in BC.

>> They sell a lot of headphones I guess.

If you are still using bluetooth headphones as they existed 10+ years ago, and haven't tried using apple headphones with an apple computer/phone, you are missing a massive quality of life upgrade in terms of basically never having to do the pairing dance again after your initial purchase.

I also use chatGPT to translate phrases idiomatically and to ask questions about etymology, synonyms, homophones etc. I'm not sure I would want the entire language-learning process to be driven by talking with an AI so maybe I'm not the target audience for this app but these are the places where I think an AI can be uniquely useful in language learning.

I recently discovered www.lingq.com and it's by far the best language learning tool I've tried. The concept is that each learner brings the content they personally want to engage with - so it allows you to import articles, podcasts, and videos and then read them in your target language but translate words you don't recognize on the fly. It tracks the words you know and the ones you are learning automatically, and allows you to test yourself with flashcards based on the words in the content you care about.

This is great because if you just want to read eg. French articles about cybersecurity, you will quickly start to pick up the domain-specific words.

The problem is that the site is quite buggy, and needs a lot of UX/UI polish. I get the sense it's a small team, but they've been around for over a decade and it's still not polished.

I don't want to use an inferior clone of Anki, I just want deep integration with Anki. I want importing content to be as painless as possible, including subscribing to podcasts.

My ideal language-learning tool would be something like LingQ with all the bugs fixed and features implemented, and with AI integrated in the places it makes sense, not as the primary means of engagement with the app.

Try mentally substituting a law that you don't agree with, once the app is widely used.

> I think that they've done it, this is Meta's iPod

I would love to try these types of devices but there is no way I'd ever give money to Meta or put my personal information into their systems or encourage my friends and family to do so either.

Hopefully Meta puts in a bunch of R&D to see what works in this space and then someone else (Apple?) just copies it.

If I'm reading that first study correctly, "Ideation" and "Ideation with plan" are lower but "Ideation with plan and attempt" is higher and "Attempt resulting in inpatient care" is almost twice as high.

Neither the discussion nor the conclusion mention this, so maybe I'm misinterpreting something?

I may just be misunderstanding what you're saying but if you're just getting a degree to tick a box that says "Must have a degree" why would you pick engineering?

What are the jobs that "require" an engineering degree but don't actually require any engineering knowledge?

> Does Chinese intelligence know?

How likely is it that all 18 of those people were accessing from mobile operating systems with no known working exploit chain? I would say pretty unlikely.

How does a regular hacker get their hands on this kind of equipment to do research?

try going to a pub on a Saturday night, walking up to a group of people you’ve never met, having a conversation, and start talking about something completely unrelated, and see how they react.

what you’re seeing in online chat communities is just basic social interaction reflected online

Forum posts were indexed by search engines - doesn’t that alone provide a minimum level of discoverability?

I like to think I caused this

In a lot of modern buildings the elevator will not let you up to any floor unless you've been admitted, so the rock won't do you much good unless you also use it to smash the lock on the elevator control panel and override the security there.

> regular people, who don't commit crimes and aren't a high value target for government agencies.

> While traveling to not really democratic countries the government can't spy on you (in many muslim countries the typical US/European browsing behavior is probably illegal).

Aren’t these two threat models already completely different?

IMHO if an authoritarian government considers what you’re doing to be a crime, you should not be doing it over a VPN you saw advertised on a billboard

You might prefer a more general walkability map, eg. https://www.walkscore.com

> Not enough ideas or interest to get into LLMs before they frankly left the station completely.

My dad was introduced to boolean algebra and the ideas of early computing in high school in the early 1960s and found it interesting but didn't pursue a career in it because he figured all the interesting problems had already been solved. He ended up having a successful career in something unrelated but he always tells the story as a cautionary tale.

I don't think it's too late for anyone to learn LLM internals, especially if they're young.

What parts of ghidra do you find most limiting? I thought it was supposed to be "almost as good" as IDA in terms of features, if not UX polish.

Now do generals

Surely you can't be serious?

why not leave the switches for emergencies?

Just adding another voice for tailscale. It's an awesome product with a very generous free tier.
