Speaking of gopher, I'm low-key hoping that becomes the new place for all the non-bot traffic. Gopher felt magical back in the pre-www days.

In this case, it's Intel the processor company

Friend of a friend retired several years ago from Intel. He'll go into detail about all the ways you're being spied on. He won't let you into his house with a smartphone; you have to turn it off and leave it in your car.

I used to think he was just paranoid...

Assuming you're not otherwise armed, I would say something long and tough to whack, bash, and push (or pin) with, such as a tree branch.

I don't see anywhere that OP mentioned illegal activities or unlawful orders. Sounds like they're quite proud of what the accomplished.

Bipolar

Automated chicken door isn't too difficult; remember the goal is to allow them to come in or out, not to make them do so or wake them up, though they do get conditioned to the door opening.

I made mine to open at actual sunrise (except in the summer; I keep them in until 7am because the coop is cooler, and if let out they can get loud before my neighbors wake up) and close it at actual sunset (not civil twilight, which most people think of when you say "sunset"). Generally the door is open well after the birds are in bed, which is fine.

Aside from some dumb birds when they were younger, I've never had one locked out (and those dumb ones were trying to nest in silly places, and weren't going you come in no matter when I closed the door).

If you think the outputs of Mexican cartels stay in Mexico, you're severely underinformed. Do you know how many civilian deaths (to say nothing of human trafficking and more) are directly due to Mexican cartels?

The US absolutely has an interest in the destruction of Mexican cartels.

This is a completely useless article. Is 100 a lot? The article never even hints at what percentage of firefighters that is, let alone total arsonists. Should we be outraged? Are firefighters more likely to be arsonists?

It says "in North America", so I assume that's across US and Canada. There are 1.2 million firefighters in the US, and about 150k in Canada, so let's call it 1.3 million. 100 out of 1.3 million is statistically irrelevant.

How's that stack up against the general public? That'd be good to know, but the article doesn't touch on it. The latest data i can find is for the US in 2024, where there were 65,795 arson convictions. There are 349 million people in the US, so the number of arsonists is 0.0001% of the general population. The number of firefighters that are arsonists (100/65,795) is 0.0015%, so I suppose it's slightly higher that the general population.

All this should have been in the article.

This has nothing to do with the method used to propel the vehicle. There's nothing stopping this from happening in an EV.

Regardless of your view on global warming, what's also vitally important is we don't do proper forest management anymore.

We used to thin the trees and clear the underbrush, which drastically reduces flammability and the ability for forest fires to rapidly spread.

But that's not seen as "environmentally friendly" these days.

> In a democracy, how is this a bad thing?

Because democracy is effectively mob rule, which means minority voices may get shut out.

So is my 80 year old car. But like the Cessna, it's suited to a vastly different role than a Lamborghini.

Heck, I have a drive-in theater relatively near that's still going strong.

> Economics wins, every time.

Indeed, it does. I wonder if anyone has ever correlated those changes to the decline in bowling popularity? It'd probably be difficult to verify how much of an impact it had (if at all) when there are so many other factors contributing to the decline.

RFID tags in the heels of the bowling shoes, tied to the users account. Implant a reader in a spot by the lane - stomp to play!

If you're talking about the algae, it came back after Obama's $34m renovation, too.

Turns out algae is hard to kill, especially when you feed the reflecting pool from a tidal basin.

Yeah, I'm seeing 8-9 t/s on a Xeon CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz with an old Nvidia Quadro K2200 (4GB). I run gemma4:e2b and gemma4:12b-it-qat on Ollama.

There's always NsCDE which should run on modern Linux. Haven't tried it myself.

I think this is underrepresented in everyone's calculations about how AI will affect software engineering. In my experience (and apparently yours as well) this is what many companies are using it for. All those pesky bugs that are minor annoyances but not show-stoppers are getting addressed. They aren't helping us sell more software, but they're dissatisfiers for the customers.

Easy; take your comment before you post it and have the LLM evaluate it against the rules.

You're not wrong, but I would like to point out that there is also the Civilian Weather Observer Program (CWOP) that is fed by a lot of private weather stations (the kind you can buy at Walmart of Amazon and put at your house). I believe the data is aggregated and averaged to account for variations in installation deficiencies, and used to inform/enhance the government maintained data feeds.

Hard disagree, my rep is an idiot

Stupid people also assume there are not exceptions to every rule. But you can't build your systems (or your arguments) around edge cases, because that would be ignoring the vast majority of use cases.

They used to. Not anymore.

That is the weirdest thing I've ever read

HERE WeGo does traffic, if you want to ditch Google Maps.

Open source? Not that I've found. I use HERE WeGo for searching and driving, and CoMaps for walking around.

> Personally I wish more scaremongering were happening right now.

You might be the first person in history to say that

> climate simply hasn’t, until recently, required it.

I would qualify that as it hasn't required it since the invention of air conditioning.

Which also isn't strictly true; the high temperature for Paris on July 1st this year is identical to the high for the same day back in 2015[1], and there are several times since 1970 that the temperature was over 30C.

Other sources[2] indicate 1947 was just as brutal as 2019 and 2022, and the warmest night was in 1772 (27.5C)
