rayusher··on John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement
Most movements don't start out big. They are won by small steps. Personally I want a law that allows people to bypass security measure after a company stop supporting the device. I have unsupported amazon echo, google home, and apple ipads that work perfectly well and I would love add custom software or even put a different os too.

Bard is the only reason why i don't pay for ChatGPT.

rayusher··on AI for developers and Google Workspace
I saw on tiktok (yeah I know) where a lawyer says they never use it because you can be liable for stealing for anything you forgot scan. I never use it cause occasionally the cashier will let you know that there is a coupon for something you are purchasing.
rayusher··on Amazon will require employees return to the office 3 days a week

I read article about how some young people are using tiktok to search for stuff instead of google. If they want to check out a restaurant or an event they would see if someone made a tiktok of it.
rayusher··on 25% of U.S. adults are not active enough to protect their health
The simplest thing you can do to lose weight reduce the amount of sugar that consume, eat some vegetables. and reduce your feeding window. I highly recommend just eating once a meal day. Try it for a week. I guarantee you feel better by the end of it. If not I'll give you your money back ;).
rayusher··on Intel's $20B Ohio factory could become world's largest chip plant
For a single person yes but if you have family Ohio is a nice place to live. That's why Dave Chappelle's decided to live out there.
rayusher··on How did American “wokeness” jump from elite schools to everyday life?
"There's plenty of room for subjective opinion in mathematics. It usually doesn't concern questions of the form Is this true? since we have a good consensus how to recognize an acceptable proof and which assumptions for such a proof you need to state explicitly.

As soon as we move onwards to Is this useful? and Is this interesting?, or even Is this likely to work?, subjectivity hits us in full force. Even in pure mathematics, it's easy to choose a set of axioms and derive consequences from them, but if you want anyone to spend time reading your work, you need to tackle the subjective questions and have an explanation why what you're doing is either useful or interesting, or preferably both.

In applied math, these questions are accompanied by Is this the best way to model such-and-such real-world problem? -- where "best" again comes down to usefulness (does the model answer questions we need to have answered?) and interest (does the model give us any insight about the situation we wouldn't have without it?).

The subjective questions are important in research, but can also arise at more elementary level. The high-school teacher who chooses to devote several lessons to presenting Cardano's method for solving the generic third-degree equation will certainly have to answer his students' questions why this is useful or interesting. Perhaps he has an answer. Perhaps he has an answer that the students don't agree with. In that case, he cannot look for a deductive argument concluding that Cardano's formula is interesting -- he'll have to appeal to emotions, curiosity, all of those fluffy touchy-feely considerations that we need to use to tackle subjective questions." https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1354044/can-math-be....

1. It needs to start somewhere. 2. Schools have been shown to cure some of society's ailments. One example is providing free pre-k education. Check out this infographic http://www.urbanchildinstitute.org/resources/infographics/pr...

IMHO more money needs to put in education.
