I found this useful: https://seeingmachines.com/understanding-advanced-driver-dis...

From that article:

"Like DDAW systems, ADDW systems must function without the use of biometric information, including facial recognition, of any vehicle occupants. It must also operate within a closed-loop system, only recording and retaining data on the device that is necessary for the system to function."

I know this runs on Linux too. As a Linux user, I'm unclear on why I might use this instead of apt or dnf, for example. Any Linux users out there have experience with both Homebrew and one of these?

Maybe I'm wrong, but this seems to strongly undercut Apple's claims about privacy.

Because I'm such a longtime fan of HP models.

I'm a lifelong fan of HP calculators. I have a 15c in front of me right now that I've had since the mid-ish 80s. Still works perfectly.

But the 15c 'Collector's Edition' had some issues, and I wonder about the build quality and reliability of this new one, too. Plus: my guess is you can get an original working 16c on eBay for less than this is going to cost.

Honestly, it pains me to say it but I'd recommend a SwissMicros DM16L instead: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm16l

It's not a framework, and it requires no diagram. It's just trusting and empowering people to do the job, then getting out of their way. People tend to rise to your level of trust.

I wrote about this, because after a long career I've come to see that most people have no idea what leadership is, or how it works: https://thinkhuman.com/the-leader-ship/

The thing is: it already is the year of the Linux Desktop for me. I don't care about 'OS market share' or how many people use something; I have no control over them.

I also don't care about "OS-maxxing", either--quibbling over 'Wayland', or which OS has the best window manager, arguing about 'gaming', etc.

What I do care about? Freedom and control. Linux gives me that.

So my desktop? It's Linux. The Year of Linux on the Desktop arrived for me years ago. And it can be that year for anyone, anytime. Today.

It's not a science. At best, there are best practices--and some of the best, most famous writing has ignored them. "Writing" is broad, means a lot of things, and defies algorithms.

Which god?

Which god?

Linux was always exempt--because it's not an operating system.

At first, I thought the saddest part was:

"The nonprofit Common Sense Institute reported student interest and enrollment was low — with just eight students in one class. The report said enrollment is unlikely to grow unless the state mandated students take the classes, which is exactly what Republican lawmakers passed."

But despite the overtly Orwellian effort, the Democrats responded in typical ineffectual, tone-deaf fashion:

"Democratic Sen. Janet Petersen slammed that idea, arguing it will drive up costs for Iowa college students and their families."

Costs. Yeah. That's the problem.

‘Fertility’ is one of those misleading terms that sounds like it means one thing (capability) when it really means another (output).

TL;DR: People aren’t unable to have more children; they’re just choosing not to.

"His [Wozniak's] subsequent ventures, including a stint teaching computer skills to students in the Los Gatos School District, were marked by amiability and good nature, not a will to technological power."

Woz is the kind of nerd I always aspired to be.

Americans will never quite understand what they bargained away for a government and culture based on freewheeling capitalism and a vague notion of ‘freedom’ that seems to absolve everyone of the one thing real freedom requires: responsibility.

I wouldn’t call it a “comeback”. By making some desperate ‘deals’ and the new CEO pulling the company hard to the right, they’ve bought some time to delay the inevitable.

But Intel’s time as anything more than a manufacturing contractor are over.

Congratulations for rediscovering Machiavelli. “The ends justify the means” is such a winning philosophy.

I forgot: the Curb-to-Bus (CtB) transit time is measured in Scaramuccis.

The bus is always idling at the curb; Trump cronies never seem to realize that eventually, everyone gets thrown under it.

It seems to not scan for Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, two extensions I rely on. That's...surprising.

So is Windows.

I've never seen a more impressive effort to carry on as if the elephant is, in fact, not in the room.

For those interested in learning more about the West's operations in Iran leading up to today:

I have no objections to the drug, but it’s also been well-established and well documented that you can achieve all these effects and results with a ketogenic (or similar) diet.

"The initiative, propelled by advocacy from State Senator Daniel Zolnikov and organizations like the Frontier Institute"

Fair; I don’t get the point of Andrew Tate, either.

That's me, I wrote it.

If you are genuinely interested in the history of the region, the saddest part is that it's not 'sensationalized' as you put it, but the opposite--it's incredibly well-documented. Even released CIA documents confirm the coup and other actions. I don't see much disagreement between Wikipedia and what I wrote.

And Iranians, like Americans, differ in their opinions of government. There are nearly 100 million Iranians in country (and many more outside).

And of course if you read what I wrote, it's fairly clear why many Iranians didn't want a religious nationalist government, and many left over the past decades. Many of them didn't want the Shah or his Israel-trained brutal secret police, either, and many more didn't want the country's economy sold wholesale to the West (as it was).

To be clear: the DoD/federal government cannot 'ban' active military from attending these schools; they can only refuse to fund their attendance. This is of course another episode of performative theater.

Since Linux is a kernel, not an operating system, it's unaffected by this law.

Hendrix and Mayer created a great sound, but I've always thought the most incredible thing about Jimi Hendrix was: he only played the guitar about 11 years. TOTAL. He picked it up around age 15, and died age 27.
