I think it would benefit all of us if we stopped calling it trading and called it what it is: gambling. Someday we’re going to study how this was done, the complete corruption of language.

Sales Engineers (another type of SE) are all the way in on LLMs to help them do unnatural things with the products they are trying to sell. I apologize in advance for this.

Eventually someone will start sending lawmakers and members of the judicary details of their childrens movements and suddenly it will be an invation of privacy. Apparently the security on the cameras and the API are garbage and if a YouTuber is able to do it (Benn Jordan), nation state actors certainly are.

Malcolm is not much more than a pop physicologist who is a very good writer. It looks like he is going to get his way with that golf course in LA that has some sort of vote happinging soon. Here is what will happen.. "the public interest" will win, and for a while it will be a park of some sort, then there will be a slow but inexorable push by the city council to reduce the size of the park by selling the land to developers. 15 years down the road it will be luxury homes for the ultra wealthy and nobody will be recreating there.

I am surprised that Google Maps has never mounted a camera on a golf cart and driven it over golf course holes. They have a backpack version and they've used it on ski resorts.

Lawmakers won't care until it is them and their kids that are being tracked by "hackers". Flock API's are poorly protected and the individual cameras are hackable as shown by Benn Jordan in multiple YouTube videos.

Their are documented cases of Flock cameras that can see into private residences. What if one of those cameras recorded an underage person? Would Flock be responsible for collecting and distributing CSAM?

The wording I use is "I have a great UDP joke I could tell you... but I don't know if you'll get it".

These centralized services do and did solve problems. I'm old enough to remember renting a quarter rack, racking my own server and other infrastructure, and managing all that. That option hasn't gone away, but there are layers of abstraction at work that many people probably haven't and don't want to be exposed to.

Visualizers? I miss my Winamp.

So to visualize this I'm thinking of a rectangle 2.5 feet long, 8 inches wide, and a half-inch thick times 4. That is what comes off my tires every 5 years so that I have to replace them. Every set of tires sold is to replace that.

Does procrastination often lead to depression?

And who you are. DO's tutorials are so laser-focused on the correct user persona, it's quite impressive how well they understand me.

You are conflating economic development and social development. Go check out some youtube channels from westerners living in Japan and you'll see that the economic development has had a cost. I don't really know how to define it because it's their society and I can't put my American values on it, but the salaryman thing has a cost. This birthrate issue is probably it. Will Japan eventually collapse because of it?

The article states that the sand in a desert is to "smooth" to properly bind in concrete. So yes, the demand is for sand with characteristics that work in concrete. The article also states that Cambodia has banned exporting sand and also that Singapore recorded record exports from Cambodia. I suspect that large scale corruption is in play.

Rick Beato's series "What makes this song so great" is fun if you want to see/hear theory applied to rock songs. And learn about rock music song construction or rather destruction since he plays the isolated tracks of the instruments and vocals. It isn't theory instruction its theory discussion and straight fandom.
