Yes exactly! Replace toy with peaceful neighborhood. From each other's perspective, you both appear to have the same goals. How would you solve that without taking away someone else's peaceful neighborhood?
You're interpreting this completely differently; I was referring to the idea of big feedback being a driving factor in any human action. Feedback doesn't have to come from another person noticing you. It can be as simple as, I did this, its very loud, that feels very good.
This is basically a solved problem. Saturn used plastic body panels on cars for a while. These cars had some painted metal parts that were protected by the plastic, and would never rust, because painted metal only rusts after the paint is compromised. Saturn went bankrupt and no one has been doing this. I suspect that it is really bad for a car company's bottom line because it lets people keep their car instead of buying a new one.
Also, you can coat your car underbody in an oil based coating 1-2x a year, and it won't rust. Its just an annoying chore that most people don't want to even think about.
I don't like the association of the word crafty with Machiavelli. "Crafty" is basically synonymous with hacker. You can be crafty without being a dick.
It's a pretty basic dopamine response, do something, hear something big happen, feel good. Real basic and, fairly universal. You may prefer a quieter car, but there is also a sound level that is below your preference. Your preference just happens to be different. You may prefer some other form of this concept. Maybe you like loud music. Maybe you like loud colors. Loud flavors. Maybe all of the above. That's fine, that's called a preference.
The hostility comes from the perception that someone wants to take away your toy. Again, it's very very basic, the same thing you see if you try to take away an item from an animal that is engaged in a dopamine response with that item. Like a dog eating something. They will bite you or at least growl if you take it away.
This is induced demand for AI to justify building more datacenters, which will bring AI costs down, and the idea is that will eventually bring demand up organically.
It's not sugar, they use synthetic sweeteners. I started getting gout symptoms after picking up a Celsius habit, then quit that without making any other changes, and the symptoms went away.
It can, that's part of why these newer planes cost billions of dollars per unit. Assuming the plane is still controllable though. Usually in that case you wouldn't eject, but its technically possible. There was a case where a US pilot ejected on accident and their plane landed itself.
Yes, there is a harmful meme in the world of IT/power users/devs/old people, that says you should never install updates. They are sort of right in that the updates often reduce system performance and introduce bugs, but they also patch bugs and, more importantly, security issues. A lot of avoidable hacking incidents happen because of unpatched systems.
Yes and there have been documented cases of translated malware. Sometimes its done a little sloppily and there is other evidence that points to the origin being in another country that doesn't speak the language its written in. But even then, you can't really prove they didn't just use a residential VPN or whatever.
That's the reality of modern war. Many countries are likely planting malware on a wide scale. You can't even really prove where an attack originated from, so uninvolved countries would also be smart to take advantage of the current conflict. Like if you primarily wrote German, you would translate your malware to Chinese, Farsi, English, or Hebrew, and take other steps to make it appear to come from one of those warring countries. Any country who was making a long term plan involving malware would likely do it around this time.
It makes sense. Israel is using the US to provoke Iran into attacking the US, so that the US can attack Iran in response, claiming that they are defending themselves.
The redactions are definitely overused. There’s some pages almost entirely redacted. It would be more effective to write a shorter sentence with some mystery than to just block out a large portion of a verbose page.
I don't believe that even a high end home/office printer can produce better quality prints than the best offset lithography practices.
One reason that offset lithography has better quality is because of the ink, which can be mixed for a specific print job (called spot colors). Regular CMYK printing cannot achieve the color space that spot colors can.
Another reason is that typical offset lithography processes produce images with 2400 DPI, and it can go even higher than that. The highest DPI I've seen on a inkjet printer was 1200.
Digital printers, as in the fancy inkjets used to print at scale, can also use spot colors and I wouldn't be surprised if they could do more than 2400 DPI. They are giant machines that cost millions of dollars.
That's a very un-Apple idea. Their philosophy is that the user shouldn't have to think about things like thermals. You buy the system that can handle your workload. They don't want you buying the cheap option and hot rodding it.
Maybe this makes more sense in 2026 with the focus on local AI models, but I think Apple would prefer to sell high end desktops AND high end laptops to people who want both portability and maximum performance.
On the other hand I see a very hot bottom case as an engineering problem that Apple solved by not using a thermal pad. Sometimes higher clock speeds don't really mean much for the user experience. For example I can set my gaming laptop to run in eco mode, or turbo mode, and the performance with simple tasks like web browsing is roughly the same. In these sorts of situations, its better to let the chip slow down a bit to preserve my thighs.
LSD + MDMA taken together can also distort your hearing. Some time after ingesting this mixture at a party, I heard an extremely strange sound, like something out of a synthesizer. I asked some other people (some sober, drunk, etc) what that sound was and they all agreed it was a completely normal sounding ambulance siren. I didn't believe it so I recorded a video to listen to the next day, and it was indeed just a normal siren.
There's a divide in the marketing language vs the research language on this topic. Marketing says some handwavy statement like "Zoloft stabilizes serotonin levels", but the research on the topic basically says that we assume that's how it works based on what we know about the brain & the drug, but we don't actually have proof of the mechanism.
