Encouragement to do a double blind test on this one; box up some LED’s with a power strip, one on and one off, have the person who set them randomize which are on and then you guess which (neither, R, L, both). Repeat a few times.

I know similar experiences aren’t predictive, the sound is a kind of synesthesia with the concept of running electronics (which is itself pretty cool/interesting!).

I mean; the mechanics ensure that it kinda is. Are these good mechanics?

This is a major ‘upside’ to centrally controlled spaces, they are tricky to exploit in several ways. I don’t think that maintaining a open community with both:

• Easy exploits;
• Social norms against using them;

is effective.

Either the exploitation is a feature that we accept, or we should rework the feature. Behavior is downstream of systems. How should we change the delete-post system?

I’d like to tell myself that ethical investing would also… actually do stuff? Move numbers?

Thanks to both!

So, there’s reasons why “ethical investing” doesn’t work well in practice

Could you say a bit more on this?

wikipedia confirms

Lawmakers as in… 2 of them? I feel like we’re boosting nobodies.

Has the S&P bent this rule before?

While I love the sentiment; I’m reading this decision by S&P as just about not bending their rules. AI is not thriving fast/convincingly enough to break tradition of big finance; I don’t think that makes S&P an ally. And I suspect this means they’ll just be joining a bit later.

Lots of folks say to cut news intake (however it is happening). This is correct. Everyone suggesting you pick up other things is an excellent idea.

If you are burned out of all these topics entirely, this is probably enough/right. If you still, for whatever reason, wish to engage with the unending crisis:

• Sit down and prioritize. Pick a narrow issue, find good sources on Precisely that, and read/engage with only things that fit. RSS feeds support keyword filters.
• Find longform content related to what you care about. Books, long podcasts, etc. Shortform only has time to make you panic. Longform can actually give nuance, solutions, and an honest accounting of the situation (it doesn’t always. But you have a chance.)

Ah; I understand you. Descriptive, not a defense or a normative statement.

This assumes the speaker is dishonest/motivated.

That’s true in a lot of spaces here. And it’s a bad thing. But it isn’t true everywhere or of everyone.

From and to something very similar to today.

This post seems extremely cherry picked to me. There are more than 20 brands. I picked 5 on my mind from tech: Logitech (stylized g still)

Framework (boring in roughly the same was as in the post; always has been?)

Anthropic (stylized A)

Amazon (still the smiling arrow)

Apple (still the prominent apple logo)

I don’t think this is a fad. And if it were a fad, it looks like intentional effort towards readability to me, which wouldn’t be enshittification imo.

Corrected! Thank you.

That’s actually too generous. A large amount of water goes to corn, which we turn primarily into corn ethanol to burn in our cars.

Good to see anecdata that actually include the people they are about, instead of what an old person thinks their lives are like.

Getting started today does seem bleak.

family/neighborhood/city/state/country/empire/hemisphere/world. Always weird to me where people draw the line. Bigger means more folks get to say what your rights are. Smaller means less people get the widely agreed rights.

Link at the bottom wouldn’t load for me; here’s one english translation I found

The original title was substantially less clickbait; I amped it up in the hopes of a reply like yours.

If you have a moment more to enlighten me, I think you’re claiming:

1. This technique is location and person specific; the models don’t generalize if you move the router or change the people (and retrain on less data)?
2. This method doesn’t determine where folks are (even when used with multiple routers) to any useful precision? (Forget who, you can guess whose in your neighbors house)
3. This method is nowhere near getting plausible pose data?

My (also not that deep) understanding is that this took a technique that was very walk dependent, and made it robust to different walks? I suspect you’d also need to vary what and where the conductive element is, I would think. Otherwise you’re just extremely conspicuous (for being an outlier) on every readout. It’s like adding an RFID tag to yourself.
