Agree, although personally I object to security cameras, too, the ones that are just surveilling the public sidewalk because who knows ...

I'm not sure "boredom" is the right way to characterize the state. Deliberately cultivating this quiet time for creativity is one possible aspect of a meditation practice. David Lynch has an interesting book about that, calle

Don't they? In consumer electronics they certainly did for a good chunk of the past 50-60 years.

I think you're taking one bit of science journalism boilerplate too broadly. Obviously it's not a "fluke" if it happens a lot, to a lot of people, but saying that is just a stock (hackneyed, if you prefer) expression to

The Wine developers are allowed to read whatever they want. They may choose to have a policy not to, because it makes it easier for them to prove that they didn't make unlawful use of proprietary code: they can't have copied somet

To take the analogy further, it also (arguably) wasn't poisonous for many years. The poison would have been added in June of 2018.

That is extremely interesting. I had no idea that the Big Five had been formulated based originally on linguistic analysis (specifically of English). It's a brilliant direction to research. But it also accounts for the pretty obvious b

People are allowed to realize they've made mistakes and change their minds/priorities as a result.

Agree, and the inverse problem is also prevalent, as we all know: someone without experience looks at a system, declares it to be shit while ignoring all the edge cases and design constraints that went into it, and insists they can do bette

Apple's framework has [NSDataDetector][0] > A specialized regular expression object that matches natural language text for predefined data patterns. It's targeted at the kind of information end users are interested in: dates, e

Look, I happily make my living on Apple's platforms, and I like their tech, but their "open source" stuff is a farce. They maintain private forks of pretty much everything for Darwin. Previous discussion here: https:/

I have all three of these experiences/abilities as well. And similarly, I think that as I get older my wake up timing is not functioning so well as it did. Possibly because my life changed so that I didn't really need it for many

It seems more pertinent to ask it about more general or even neutral items, like the study did, rather than inherently political and controversial ones.

Interesting observation. There are some people who would have responded in the latter fashion. They're generally quite unpleasant to be around, and perhaps that points to another "cause" for this apparent positivity bias. Per

Polymerized oil seems more likely, similar to the impossible-to-clean gunk that forms on kitchen surfaces from cooking fats.

I appreciate you making the point, but it sounds like the perception is correct, but the definitions don't match. Individual-human-level privacy controls are important, and it's good that they're in place, but equally imp

They only have de facto priority; officially passenger trains are supposed to be prioritized. This is in fact the basis of the complaint described in the article.

But if so this isn't because of its nature (the fact that it's an LLM), but because of its inputs. An LLM fed the same bullshit pseudo articles you refer to would likewise spit out more bullshit. If ChatGPT works it's because

I have experimented with swishing a little baking soda in water around to neutralize the acid before brushing after coffee (just a rinse, not swallowing it). I have no idea how to measure the effect but it does feel better.

I wager though that if we grabbed a person from your culture from two thousand years ago they would find many differences comparing their experience of the culture with yours. It's inevitable that it will change and adapt over time. Th

Agree but that said cyclists can still injure themselves without help from cars. We'd expect the absolute number of cycling injuries to rise with the number of cyclists. However, they will be much less serious injuries.

I'm a little wary of relying on this, because it seems like the kind of effect that would go away if no-helmet was more normalized. In other words, if we have a (local) culture that says "bicycling is sufficiently dangerous as to

The thing is, as much as I hate all the scanning too, identity is an extremely weak safeguard against what TSA is supposedly guarding. If we could verify that he didn't have any weapons, bombs, etc., Osama bin Laden himself could have

People self-report feeling "down" in various ways in the winter months. The experience is happening to them regardless of whether we know the causes or solutions. Perhaps there are in fact many different things that are manifestin

There is a school of thought that the donkey work is just as important -- or at best unavoidable. And that you should therefore make your peace with it. https://fourpillarfreedom.com/chop-wood-carry-water/

Customs and immigration is a distinctly different situation than a domestic flight. (Not that I particularly want my face scanned for the former either.)

This has nothing to do with public ownership; it occurs with private ownership of the interior parcel as well. Are the outer parcel owners also unfairly encumbered by an access easement then?

This is a valid use case, and it's a service you can get with snail mail, by sending it as "certified". Except for the fact that emails aren't particularly private, it seems reasonable that the same thing could exist for
