I forgot all about MPD. MPD is great, I used it long ago, just exposed to the public internet. Nothing bad ever happened.

I am afraid of being hungry and homeless long before society reaches "an egalitarian future of labor-worthlessness" that's good for common people.

Why would they do this?

> And Lockheed’s operational manuals for the SR-71A still exist—and are superb...

I appreciate this level of documentation.

It's possible to find workarounds for things like this. One example: https://www.autoharnesshouse.com/69018.html

Reverse engineering like this is black magic to me. The writeup is good. It's detailed and I could follow along with what the author was doing even though I'm too stupid to ever attempt something like this. Nice job author.

I liked bullet 2 in the Introduction.

But you are a "high-computer-skill" person.

Also, the lazy sysadmin forgot to set a quote for today.

It has multiplayer, but I don't know how to find the other players.

I managed to get stuck in a courtyard.

They said "I discussed with my family at the dinner table," but it looks more like "I discussed with my roommates after we got super high."

> the world of Internet advertising just doesn't run like that at this point.

They're doing it though.

Why?

Ministry for the Future ch. 1 scenario?

There's also the matter of police accessing this massive data trove "for personal purposes, including tracking romantic partners, relatives or acquaintances."

I like it. Reminds me of this: https://how-i-experience-web-today.com/

The overfishing situation seems dire across many species. I read that Mitsubishi is deep-freezing tuna in anticipation of its extinction. I don't know if that's actually their motivation, but they are definitely involved in tuna procurement.

I agree. It's so grating. "This isn't an issue—it's an epidemic. Here's the takeaway: attention span is a load-bearing element of cognition. And honestly? This article nails it." (Not actually AI, I just made it up and tried to cram in a bunch of tropes)

When all labor is automated, is it a problem for the elites if people stop having children?

Long ago I used KDE's "fuzzy clock." the fuzziness was adjustable to as high as "middle of the week," which is funny but not very practical. At a higher resolution it was fun for a while.

Regarding the dams, I recommend the book "Cadillac Desert" to anyone even remotely curious about the background and scale of water projects in the US. It's not boring despite the what the subject matter might suggest.

Sibling explanations are correct re: direction of rotation. As to your second question, the flywheel keeps things spinning so it doesn't lock up and has the momentum to compress the air/fuel mixture. BTW 0 degrees is called top dead center or TDC and is a useful point for calibrating timing and ignition.

A different time. I remember the first question from the host at a restaurant being "smoking or non?"

Even secondhand smoking makes you cooler.

Some sources suggest cigarette smoking is cool again. E.g., https://www.wsj.com/health/cigarettes-popularity-celebrity-s...

The article doesn't address treatment efficacy in humans. How is it treated? How effective is the treatment? Can this develop resistance to the treatment? The spread mechanisms and persistence are concerning, but without info on treatment I'm not sure how much I should freak out about this.

Yes but your approach requires parenting, which is unacceptable to many people with children.

I'm glad you addressed that your house-building strategy isn't feasible almost anywhere. There was an interesting article posted to HN on this topic a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31470400

I would rather read an email the sender actually wrote even if it looked like your example, as opposed to AI-written. In that sense it is "better" to me.

Companies need to brand as "Not owned by PE" the same way health food has prominent labels on the packaging.

You would install a 240v circuit (in the US) like for an electric clothes dryer.

Edit: I now see the author was in an apartment and couldn't do this, so I concede this is not responsive here.
