>(picking the same name as your opponent to confuse voters)

Here's the ballot that some suggest would confuse voters: https://ballotpedia.org/Alaska_official_sample_ballots,_2026

A name I was surprised by was someone I know naming their daughter Miles/Myles, which is such a male name in my mind. It might even be based on the Latin word for soldier. It's not one I've seen used for a girl anywhere else, yet.

Before code would be intentionally a certain way, done as a known compromise that's less than ideal, or the developer flubbed in some way. Using commit comments and other surrounding details you might be able to identify which in many cases which could guide your next steps. I don't think you can do that with an LLM's output.

Sounds horrific!

My reply is in response to this statement:

"I don't think most Americans have a problem with rich people buying nice houses and nice cars, and using their wealth to pay for private staff. I think the real problem is how much of the wealth is allowed to stay off public markets. Cargill is worth more than $50 billion and its stock is not available on public markets. The growth in wealth of most AI companies - Anthropic, OpenAI - happened off of public markets, and so none of it trickled into the American middle class by their retirement accounts."

I stopped using rinse aid in my dishwasher after seeing this or a similar study: https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(22)01477-4/ful...

I don't think most Americans are thinking about their 401Ks when it comes to corporate behavior. They're thinking about high prices, lower quality, poor service, externalities(pollution and such), low wages, poor working conditions. I don't think public markets will fix those things, and some argue they'd make them worse.

> Had this really not been done before? Apparently not on land. Ferries are an ancient idea, both for crossing water bodies and for traveling along them. They are fixed routes, of course, but that’s mostly because the shore is fixed. Pascal’s idea was that even though carriages could go from anywhere to anywhere on Paris’s street network, a special kind of usefulness would arise if they didn’t do that, but instead followed paths that people could remember and plan around.

While not exactly a transit system, there were fixed trade and courier routes before this where the dependability and consistency induced build up and improvements around the route. There were probably even times and places you could hitch a ride on someone's cart or group up with others for safety because of how well the routes were used.

Why does this attitude still exist?

People want 4k, HDR, 60+ inches.

Not if the government is for, by, and of the people.

Ejecting the warp core is a common strategy.

The title made my mind jump to these great peripherals:

Your app ecosystem might decrease as developers who don't want to register lose interest and the number of users supporting open source projects decreases.

You're the horse in this analogy.

I'm not sure why you're responding as if my comment is some sort of hopium. I'm saying that if we don't stop ourselves from making Earth uninhabitable to us in the very near future, that this is the peak of technological civilization on Earth for all time. Whether human descendants or another sapient species comes out of the climate turmoil and tries to advance again, they're gonna hit a wall.

All our ambitions and dreams for the future hinge on reversing the damage we've done.

Humans are probably the only Earthlings that have any chance of achieving interplanetary civilization and persisting long term. If this civilization collapses and our energy technologies are lost then any future attempts at civilization will be facing a steeper slope to get those technologies back without the cheap and abundant fossil fuels we burned up. Many of those fuels may never return to this planet because life has evolved considerably so things like the Carboniferous may not happen again.

No skin in the game and less influence on the next generation having the skills and values needed to make the world better instead of carrying on the path it's on. Of course most people having kids aren't thinking of that aspect.

She chose one direction and it wore down her trudging shoes just a little more on one side, and little by little the imbalance in her shoes increased to the point that going the opposite direction would be uncomfortable.

The various decisions/petitions that pop up can break the immersion by mentioning details that don't fit the city(petitions with signatures from >250% of the town population, traffic issues at the "4-way intersection in front of the feed store" when no such place exists, or the new building causing shadows when there's nothing around it). It would be great if more text was turned into templates that pull game data for accuracy, and if the simulation were able to feed definitive descriptions of the town layout into generative AI prompts to make the text talk about scenarios reflected in the game.

Maybe just marketing, but they call the NPUs in their Pixel phones "TPUs"

A munitions plant was built near my hometown in the 40s and used on and off until the 70s(though it stayed intact for decades longer). They took some of the best quality farmland in the state despite protests when they built it. Now the ground is quite contaminated, and so is the groundwater.

I would hope we someday learn to stop polluting our world in the pursuit of killing each other.

A rewilding organization bought some forest land, downstream from a dam, that used to get seasonal flooding before the dam was built and made an agreement with the dam operators to do artificial seasonal flooding via ditches they dug. The flooded forest has the effect of providing fish nurseries so hatchlings have a chance to hide and grow before the water recedes and they have to return to the river.

I think it's a testament that human activity and nature don't have to be all or nothing, but we need to consider and mitigate the impact of our actions and always leave space for nature.

What I want to know is what is the "walkable city" of mental fitness? Physical fitness has the athletes, the dedicated exercisers, the unhealthy sedentary masses, and then the people who's day-to-day life integrates enough physical activity that a baseline of fitness is just natural I.e. people living in highly walkable places where both errands and free time incorporates casually moving around.

We should strive for a society where day-to-day life makes a baseline mental fitness a natural outcome as well.

We've made money a necessity of life and working the only way billions of people can get money. If we think a big chunk of jobs can be automated away, how are those people going to fulfill their needs?

How will you know of the AI vendor doesn't have a kickback deal with the pharma company or surgery center they recommend?

While it's not typically low sodium, chili crisp is also a great condiment in the same vein as chili oil.
