I’d prefer that psychiatrist professional opinions stay out of politics, as they will certainly be weaponized, turned partisan, and tarnish the field. There are numerous reports from people that have actually met him in private describing his public persona as a theatrical showman.

The President was not examined face to face, and he is not a patient of any member of our group. Rendering a formal diagnosis in this case is not our role. We have closely followed his behavior and his statements over the past year.

It is our professional opinion that the behaviors of Donald Trump, tragically, are neither momentary lapses nor political theater. It is our professional opinion that they reflect a rapidly worsening, reality-untethered, increasingly dangerous decline.

However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.

This is a great way to sidestep the political process to fund popular projects. The political constraints will ensure returns are middling, so unless they subsidize with tax breaks on dividend income I think it would be a poor commercial investment.

Whether its perfect or not, it almost has to be better than the current status quo.

They use machine id, shouldn’t need the key to reactivate on reinstall.

You’ve always been able to install and use without an account (oobe\bypassnro). As long as power users and businesses can avoid it, they have no real incentive to change.

The peak was right before they launched marketplace in my opinion (2013?). After that they had no incentive to improve Jira/Confluence, easier to take the marketplace cut. I could never understand why they couldn’t solve the speed issues though. It just got worse and worse.

Insane that NYT is driving this privacy nightmare.

Important to note their findings only apply to a smaller subset of people, and do not include those with the most need.

The findings of the pilot project will be generalizable not to the entire German population, but to 21- to 40-year-old individuals in single-person households with middle incomes.

The reason:

We were thus faced with the decision of selecting 122 people who represented the entire country but did not provide scientifically reliable data on the effects of a basic income, or selecting 122 people from a more limited group from whom we could draw definitive conclusions. In the end, we chose the latter.

It reads as a mistake to me as an American too, and I expect most of us. It’s an artistic choice.

It was dramatic and started just a few hours after the first dose. I was worsening all morning and by mid afternoon a reversal, coinciding with the Paxlovid side effects. It wasn’t an overnight thing where rest was a factor, I was awake and bedridden. So I’m pretty convinced, enough to drop $1,500 retail if need be in the future for it.

That metallic taste still gives me shudders when I think about it, but I’m very grateful for Paxlovid.

It worked extremely fast for me, I took it within 16 hours of symptoms that were increasing rapidly. Within 6-8 hours I started feeling much better, instead just dealing with the Paxlovid side effects. I don’t think my body fought off Covid that fast. Anecdotal of course, but I’d take it again in a heartbeat. I did get a rebound infection the next week but I couldn’t feel it, just tested positive for a couple days.

It’s the same in both, it was deliberate. Wikipedia lists a potential reason.

The title “Wolfs”, a grammatically incorrect plural of Wolf, is an apparent reference to the character of Winston Wolfe (aka “Mr Wolf”) - an iconic “fixer” in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfs_(film)

Could be interesting once they have content but so far there is nothing there. The “Contact Us” page is a 404.

Have either of you ever met a five year old?

I expect you are simply trolling, but for those that are not aware ELI5 has been defined in popular culture for well over a decade.

UPs refers to it as “Lunar New Year holidays” on the website I linked, probably because it’s more than just China. You’re right though, I should have been more clear.

Wouldn’t this be due to the Lunar New Year, a massive holiday that shuts down wide swaths of the country? UPS has a bunch of Asia delays right now too.

It took the use of poison gas to get countries on board, and some will still use it. Just more carefully.

Would China, Russia, or Iran agree to such a preemptive AI weapons ban? Doubtful, it’s their chance to close the gap. I’m onboard if so, but I don’t see anything happening on that front until well after they start dominating the landscape.

It would help solve bots absolutely, but there are other ways to approach fraudulent activity. I don’t see a huge downside personally, but I’m not in the industry. Given it’s a large, competitive market and this change appears revenue neutral, I think there must be underlying reasons neither of us are aware of.

If the majority of artists and labels wanted this system I don’t see why they couldn’t lobby and negotiate for it?

So each listen would have a variable payout depending on how much else you listened to that month? If you only listened to 1 song, the rights holder would receive all of your monthly payment (sans Spotify’s cut)?

That seems overly complex and more volatile. My guess is that there is no pressure from the artists or rights holders to do this. It’s revenue neutral for Spotify after all. Tidal is the most “artist-friendly” service and they don’t work like that.

The video looks awesome, but I couldn’t get the demo to work using an iPad, so I assume mobile isn’t supported fully? I’d use it for my personal dashboard and for organizing llama.cpp chats if I could.

I’ve never heard of that happening in the U.S. with major ISPs. It’s completely opaque vpn traffic to them. What would the ban be for? With remote work and corporate vpns it’s extremely common to have the same traffic patterns.

Just use Tailscale? I have all my services running in Docker containers using Tailscale or Caddy Tailscale (for automatic https cert) sidecar. A secure private cloud has never been easier.

But even then, I'm afraid I am not producing the software to the highest standards of the industry

Realistically, you’re not, but does that matter at all to the company? I’ve had your role in a small company, the job wasn’t really about the tech. Unless there is a dedicated product manager, that is your role now too, and it’s one to take seriously.

You have enviable freedom, do not waste it. Be straight with your boss and explain the tradeoffs regarding availability / tech debt / accuracy you may be making and why.

Above all, understand the business, how your boss sees it, and anticipate their needs.

If only companies would learn that tasteful ads are possible and would likely give better returns, but the web has been infested with garbage so most people have their guards up.

For better or worse, many of the brightest minds of the past 25 years have been working in online advertising, if “tasteful ads” worked better that’s all we would see. Consumers must drive the desired outcome with behavior or law.

The Post employees (including acquaintances of mine) are begging subscribers not to leave. They insist that Bezos doesn't interfere with the news reporting, only with the op-ed pages.

Even if you plan to resubscribe in the future, cancelling is the only action subscribers can take that will make any difference in the future.

Cavern diving certification is still a multi day course, open water certification does not prepare you for it. The 130 ft PADI guideline (AOW cert) applies to open water wreck diving and is quickly broken at most sites I’ve seen. Dos Ojos is particularly sketchy. On overcast days it can be impossible to see an exit at several points even when not silted out. Your guides will usually be side mount with two tanks, backup lights, and a safety spool. That redundancy isn’t for you, it’s because they are trained not to take the same risks you are. Caves are pretty awesome though.

My third and fourth dives after getting my open water certification were in cenotes around Playa Del Carmen and that experience was just mind blowing.

Overhead diving, especially in caves, is extremely dangerous without extensive training. Too many operators down there will take new divers on very questionable “cavern” tours with sections of no natural light / visible exits, single primary lights, and single tanks.

Do your due diligence and remember nothing in the cave is worth dying for.

There already is a company doing this, I’ve heard the CEO speak at a conference. They are heavily involved in the cave diving community and will likely start making long distance mapping records in the next few years.

Lung over expansion injury if he holds his breath on ascent like many free divers naturally do. He was taking compressed air breaths at depth and then ascending. If you fill your lungs at 33ft and ascend, the gas will double in volume at the surface, causing tons of damage and bleeding.

It’s not getting bent, it’s lung over expansion injury from taking a compressed air breath at depth and ascending afterward as a free diver. Yes, you could explain the danger to him, but people panic and forget.
