If you rescale all your training data, then you're training on deliberately blurry images.

Sudafed (edit: also ) makes (or at least made) products with phenylephrine, the useless drug in question. Those products don't contain pseudoephedrine, which can indeed be used as a precursor to making meth. Edit: I did not say that S

Look around, it's actively happening. Many jurisdictions have instituted deadlines, past which ICE vehicles won't be allowed. Where I live, I won't be able to register an ICE car manufactured after 2030.

Amusingly I've found the experience of working at a German company in the US to be a huge upgrade. Maybe the real secret is just a foreign company to temper the culture of your own country's.

"The police are a net negative" does not mean that they are irreparably terrible, and "net negative" even makes it clear that I think they have some benefits. But yes, I think freeing up that enormous amount of budget

Most of Europe is a good example of how much better policing can be done than we do it here. A pretty huge part of the problem is that our police act as vastly inferior substitutes to just proper social services. An incredibly simple and go

Exclusively? No. But on the balance? The scale of budget they co-opt to pay for the harm they inflict makes a pretty strong case that they're net negatives.

I think that, at the very least, there's a huge benefit in having a bit of understanding one abstraction down from everything you interact with. Knowing what an abstraction is abstracting, and why, goes a long way in coexisting with th

If I've heard someone tweeted something, it's almost always in the context of a news article which embeds the tweet. Even if the embed doesn't work, the direct link to the tweet should. I agree wholeheartedly that Twitter sho

People who don't use Twitter won't use Twitter to get status updates. There are many bad things about how Musk is running Twitter, but the UX for people not logged in is pretty low on the list.

Ahh, got it. Yeah, I suppose it could be a notable increase in the per-bot cost. Though considering each Twitter account typically needs to be "legitimized" with a phone number, it might not actually be that much of a multiplier.

A bot on its own doesn't cost Twitter much directly, but enough bots costs Twitter users.

And on top of everything, the bot problem seems worse than ever in the past year. I'm noticing it more even despite spending less time there because the top replies to large accounts are all so worthless now. I have to imagine the prob

The current situation can punish the owner for improving the property, because you pay based on the overall value of your house. A new roof and siding could make your home more valuable, increasing your tax. Land value tax would make your i

The fact that it won't live forever doesn't change the fact that a tree pulls CO2 out of the air. Nothing lasts forever. There are no silver bullets. Don't only plant trees, but plant trees nonetheless.

"I think, therefore I am" means that one of the only things you can be sure of is that, as a thinking entity, you must exist. Thinking the thought "I am thinking", requires that you exist to do that thinking. So unless s

You can argue that this specific case doesn't rise to the level that would actually result in anti-competitive results. My point was just that the merger of two large companies is the kind of thing that deserves scrutiny, because you

The merger of two large entities in the same market is a pretty clear example of something that should raise antitrust concerns.

I've been happily using Ting Mobile for about 8 years, and my bill is always under $45 for two lines, 2GB, 1000 SMS, and 100 minutes (it's lower when we use less). It seems that the plan I'm on isn't available for new cu

I think Owlbear Rodeo fits the bill, somewhat. They recently released a more feature-rich cloud-based V2, but simultaneously released the source and self-hostable images for their V1. Edit: I meant to add this initially but just forgot: ht

The other comment is probably right, that this varies widely, but getting a vague order of magnitude is still useful. From some amateur googling, it seems that an acre requires on the order of 100 lbs/year (50-300lbs, though the higher

I second this suggestion. My first card with CapitalOne back in the day also had this on by default (though naturally required the app), and I've made sure to go out of my way to turn it on with subsequent cards as well.
