hippich

this is bad... but just for chuckles, i asked grok cli to check disclosure and look through the binary and logs to see which config would stop it from doing that. no idea if it truly works, but here it is:

  Config after fix (~/.grok/config.toml)

  [harness]
  disable_codebase_upload = true
  
  [telemetry]
  trace_upload = false
  
  [features]
  telemetry = false

This sounds very foreign to me. Any links to read about it?

When you say "short circuit" - is this when wires get hit and make and burn, or this is reference to some other stuff?

This is actually something I was always confused about. If nothing interesting happens as we get old, it should be boring and as result, slow slog. Yet it feels like time accelerates as I get older.

Some _fun_ stuff i "coded" in a day each just in last couple weeks:

https://hippich.github.io/minesweeper/ - no idea why but i had a couple weeks desire to play minesweeper. at some point i wanted to get a way to quickly estimate probability of the mine presence in each cell.. No problem - copilot coded both minesweeper and then added probabilities (hidden behind "Learn" checkbox) - Bonus, my wife now plays game "made" by me and not some random version from Play store.

another one made in a day - https://hippich.github.io/OpenCamber - I am putting together old car, so will need to align wheels on it at some point. There is Gyraline, but it is iOS only (I think because precision is not good enough on Android?). And it is not free. I have no idea how well it will work in practice, but I can try it, because the cost of trying it is so low now!

yes, both of these are not serious and fun projects. unlikely to have any impact. but it is _fun_! =)

Please also recognize when others don't really want to talk. Not everybody want to go beyond cultural niceties of a smile and "hi, how you doing". I don't want to be a jerk, but I also don't like to talk to random strangers.

Are there similar solutions without 3d view? I want to get a simulator that can show me what is going in the circuit, ideally slowed down a lot. For example I was making a dongle with resistor and capacitor which was delivering a pulse-short (i.e. removing power for a short period of time instead of delivering an impulse) and while I was able to confirm overall idea with some online simulator, dialing in capacitance and resistance required physically switching components. Ideally I want to be able simulate such transient effects and arrive at specific numbers ready to be soldered.

And I want it to be free/open-sourse ideally :)

State will tax it. And the tax amount from 1M is infinitely bigger than the tax from 0

Is it hard as in:

1) we know what to do, but it is expensive

2) we don't know what to do exactly, but many more people involved can increase search speed, so just need more people

3) it is purely sequential problem, and therefore it takes a lot of time

Rapid muscles loss, unless you are careful and managing it. In my case muscle loss led to increase, not decrease, of the lower back pain related to the crack in one of the vertebrae there. I believe that loss of core muscles increased load on the spine and caused pain. Once I started doing core exercises and cut down on dosage, pain returned back to pre glp1

One thing that stopped me from seeking the vanity plate - I learned that at least in Texas all plates are made by minimally paid prisoners. So any desire to finance that system beyond what's absolute possible minimum (i.e. regular plates) evaporated.

Afaik, property taxes are due no matter what, at least in Texas.

It appears to me that majority of the article is about (unregulated) leveraged trading, with perps being an instrument to get leverage. I seen similar stories of blowing up outside us in forex market, for example, where no one were talking about futures, it was just 100x leverage that was biting many (most?) traders.

Just to counter some anecdata here - doing glp-1 for quite some time for weight loss. It works for me for that specific purpose. But I noticed no effect on mood or addictive aspects. But it appears to lower my alcohol tolerance, so I drink less of it. Ymmv

You can’t always change how you feel, but you can always decide what to do next.

Unfortunately, in my experience, how I feel does affect what I decide to do (or not do) next. But I certainly like to think I have agency, so there is that..

Thanks!

Recently I was looking for solution to have multiple VPN running at the same time, and without work profile I am limited to one. I want to run two (or more) and be able to tell which app uses no VPN, which routes through vpn1, which routes through vpn1, etc. so far it looks like I need multiple profiles, and that requires root, which Google actively discourages.

Maybe someone knows better alternatives?

I am taking specifically about deflationary nature of Bitcoin issuance

I think the difference here is that Bitcoin is predictable deflationary vs fiat being unpredictable. If you can know in advance the rate, it becomes sorta like an investment vehicle, where instead of dividends you get appreciation of the assets.

To look at it another way - why one would spend $100 from their brokerage account if they know a year later they can spend $110?

Testimonials on the main website are somewhat unusual - https://nuclearplayer.com/

While volatility indeed can be a problem (depending on how the whole thing is setup), I fail to come up with scenario of 50% fraudulent transactions... Does anyone have links to more details on what kind of fraud they meant?

First video comment from author:

The rods in my hot water tank were separating the hydrogen and oxygen. Called electrolysis

Can't find the post on Reddit right now, but someone broke all three down and it is more nuanced. They act slightly differently in different areas.

Before I started experiments on "my lab rat" with retatrutide, I found that combination of the about half max dose of semaglutide and 1/3 of Max dose of tirzepatide had the best combination of losing weight and lowering side effects. But another "lab rat" did not respond that well to this combo and we keep adjusting it.

Retatrutide so far looks the most compatible, but it is sample of 1.

I thought about it quite a bit and I came to conclusion that it is not 100% alignment between consumer and insurance, like it would appear on the surface. To me it seems insurance in the long term is interested in health services becoming more expensive (bigger pie they can manage), but steadily. I.e. it will affect insurance negatively if costs will suddenly increase by alot in a single year while premiums are locked in. But if it will keep inflating steadily and predictable - it only gives them a larger chunk of cash to manage and profit from. There are of course limits, so it needs to align with income inflation to avoid situation where their pie is shrinking because people/government simply can't afford it anymore.

Btw, I wondered why they flight root on the phone at all?

First time - when you learning all the details - may be. But it wasn't that bad. I represented myself vs insurance company with the lawyer. I did not get full claim amount, and could do better, but I got more than what insurance wanted to settle for.

Ianal, but afaik small claims are for purely money claims. I.e. you have to prove to judge/jury exact amount of your loss. It works well in case of fighting over debt. But more abstract damages are likely outside courts jurisdiction...

On the other hand... It is cheap to try and see what happens, as long as expectations are right.

Just I quick note - writing to congressman may actually help and worth trying. My mom's greencard was stuck in 2023 due to some bs with documents in consulate with officer there non responding. After the letter by my senator I got a call from the officer over there and the issue resolved within a day. This is of course different from op's issue, but just wanted to note that it is worth trying in any case.

Last 2 or 3 years we use their AGL service. I am pretty sure a lot of their third party sellers are. So they will have exact information on custom duties paid.

Can you fully use MacBook (install apps, updates) without online account?
