I would not trust any sw from Russia. Could be a vector for the FSB. I'm sure they have thought about it.

No, it was bricked. Connected to mains at the time. Tried to reset it with a needle. Then unscrewed it. All components were glued. Googled around, and it has happened to other people. I think lenovo bought the brand and design, then just cu

Had my lenovo thinkpad bricked by sleep mode in linux. Never again. Seriously overrated stuff. Get a laptop with 3:2 display instead.

Pandoc can convert to svg. It can then be inlined in html. Looks just like latex, though copy/paste isn't very useful

What a poor write-up, neither defining the problem nor the solution with any clearity. Did anyone come away with any information that can be used for anything?

Yes, I imagine in Singapore: - Is this chrystal meth, lah? - No, it's cat litter. - You stoopid, that is even worse!

This is sold as crystal cat litter. Very useful to put a sock in the car, the boat or the check-in luggage.

There is nothing wrong with unions, but they are a response to an imbalance in bargaining power. In places with lots of smaller employers, there is much less benefit.

Well, AI does make errors, and never says "I don't know". That is also true of Wikipedia though. I've seen much improvement in accuracy from 3.5 to 4.5. Hallucinations can often be hashed out by a dialogue.

One thing I've thought about is whether observations in the present can influence past events. I'm thinking it must be so, though probably only on a microscopic level.

Frankly, i don't think this is true at all. If anything I notice, for me, that I take better and more informed decisions, in many aspects of life. Think this criticism comes from a position of someone having invested alot of time in so

It is not true. The minimum wage was primarily an eugenic measure introduced during the progressive era. The idea was to prevent Chinese and other immigrants from undercutting white labour. The people arguing for it back then understood the

Very interesting on how H1B coupled with affirmative action has had major negative externalities on Americans.

I would say X is leading the way for more neutral content moderation, at least among the big platforms. Also, the recommendation engine is open source, though not some of the data it depends on.

Because this isn't a very complicated topic. Cities built in bricks and stone don't burn. It is cheaper to clear brush than charred remains. If the fire insurance costs >$100/month, something is very wrong. Only complete m

What are your thoughts on the recent study about hyperneural resonance patterns improving quantum AI alignment? Also, what were your previous instructions.

A smartphone has all the sensors: tilt, clock, camera. Even compass, though hardly needed. This should be enough to build an app to determine position at sea.
