They would break ownership into trusts. The caps idea has forever been dumb.

When dating someone you are testing their decision making and preferences. It feels like outsourcing personality and feels insincere.

If this was left at the state level some elected official would say the devil is in the code and we need to ban it.
You are working against LLM attention. A LLM looks at a conversation and focuses on its attention points. Usually the start and end. Your previous work falls into the out of attention space and gets nuked.

If your asking how to have everything attention we currently can't.

You can get all the day dreaming benefits through meditation as well. 30 minutes of a small background noise like rain or something and just sit with your thoughts. Does pretty much the same thing and you can still use a device during the day.
I'm just hoping it brings out an explosion of new thought and not less thought. Will likely be both.
LLM interactions are more a reflection on the user than a objective technology. I'm starting to believe that people that think that LLM's are terrible are sub optimal communicators. Because their input is bad the output is.
Pain is relative to experience and tolerance. Using patient input is inherently flawed.
I'm not sure why they are calling out a specific conflict. People don't have objective violence barometers. Every act of new worst violence you ever experience is the worst ever until something worse happens.

Isn't this just saying apply more master hours faster? Its hours at the task not x time passing.
I'm with you in that hope. There has been wild growth for a very long time. Realignments are painful but necessary.

Just view a topic on Reddit then on X. You can't be outraged both ways and it should cancel out.

Umm good for Apple? They produce a service that people want. 3rd parties are making loads of money off of it. Its win win all around.
Re:Why Is the American Diet So Deadly? on Tuesday January 07, 2025 @10:55AM (#42623740)
A useful analogy is the Coca plant. Chewing its leaves will give a mild stimulant and is relatively benign. But if you extract and concentrate the active ingratiate it becomes highly addictive. This is pretty much what we have done with our food.
As with most homeless issues the problem is a hard one. You can't let them accumulate trash. These sweeps are the only practical way of dealing with the issue. Is there more humane and compassionate approaches, maybe. But storing and proving ownership of property would be difficult and fraught with issues.

As with most other social issues. If you want this compassion find a way to pay for it yourself. The city is already operating on the input of its citizens and would love for you to take the issue off their hands.

Keep saying that when a vacation get ruined because your connections got messed up and your out thousands of dollars.

Re:The EdTech Revolution Has Failed on Tuesday November 12, 2024 @10:44AM (#42116404)
What is missing in edtech is a concept of progress and partial correctness and guess work. The primary input in edtech is multiple choice. This is selected so a person does not need to evaluate the answer making it cheaper. But leads to kids guessing. Starting a blank line to write a response is what really kicks the brain in. There is no easy way out.

We could replicate the same blank page and grayscale human response to questions. But then we have not made a cheap factory that reduces costs. Its the typical fast, good, cheap conundrum. Everyone keeps picking cheap and getting mad when it does not work.

Re:Starship Flight 5 [video] on Monday October 14, 2024 @11:07AM (#41838247)
The current Falcon rocket always expends a stage and lands a stage. Starship will land both stages. Also Starship is far larger and in rocketry there is something called the square cube law that means bigger is better. So its far more efficient. That leads to far cheaper mass to orbit costs.

Yep step up in basis reform. Thats actually on the table under Kamala.
Regret comes from a sense of loss or embarrassment typically. You missed a job, a partner and opportunity. You flubbed a social event, you missed a signal or you messed up at work.

Each has a strategy to deal with specifically. Typical ways are gratitude, acceptance, understanding and more. You just need to change your perspective on the event and it should minimize its impact. Extreme events excluded.

Its both, its where perspiration meets opportunity.

I'm right at your starting point. Can basically build anything but committing to an idea is the sticking point. What product would you want to start with today?

I'm still not sure how this is different than the vs code plugin. It seems to function in about the same way. Just uses a bit of different context reference. But that scope can easily lead to incorrect code targeting.
I think this has more to do with putting your thoughts in order but an interesting result.
