at least two of its funders were usaid-backed (internews, access now), wonder if that has anything to do with it

i didn't have much trouble

i also recommend seerr to pair with jellyfin: https://seerr.dev/

my wife logs into the seerr ui with her jellyfin account, makes requests, they get grabbed by sonarr/radarr, which in turn place them in the correct library, and they're identified & labeled correctly on import

great thinking, that must be why the ccp doesn't care about this policy

the uk flew a refueling sortie out of qatar for the israelis supporting this strike. i will let you draw your own conclusions about who knew what

if somebody defects against society very seriously, damaging others, i have no problem with stripping them of legal rights. this is in fact exactly the principle underlying imprisonment. constitutional rights are granted by men, not god, in service of shared prosperity; democracy is good insofar as it produces good results, not because it is the intrinsic source of good. there is no higher construct to appeal to, like this platonic ideal of democracy you're gesturing at

One of the strangest fixations of AWFL metaphysics is on a substance called 'trauma' that they believe is 'stored in the body' in small saclike organs where it constantly threatens to be 'triggered' and erupt out of its ducts. They assert life itself is about 'processing trauma'

tech wages have stagnated since ~2010 despite being one of approximately three productive growth industries. ever wonder why?

Well it's because by this logic we should just stop Americans from studying for computing jobs as well, that way those who remain will have higher wages.

generally speaking, the point of 'having a country' is not 'offering opportunities to talented foreigners at the expense of citizens'. major employers routinely violate federal employment law in the pursuit of wage suppression; cursory googling will show you the biggest names you can think of losing lawsuits for hundreds of millions of dollars for their h1b pipelines, and yet they continually do this.

No Silicon Valley company that I know of pays H-1B and citizens different wages on that basis.

larger pool means lower wages. this is so fundamental and obvious that it feels like i'm being gaslit when i see shit like this.

he described an employee

the problem is that this data exists somewhere where i have no control over it and was collected without my consent, in clear violation of my constitutional rights. perhaps you have perfect trust in the current and future good faith of the US federal government, but perhaps you can understand why others do not. i would not want the local police keeping copies of all of my emails "just in case", why would it be any better for unaccountable strangers to keep secret dossiers on me?

yes, i absolutely believe we are less than two years from what you describe (aside from physically manipulating an instrument -- but robotics seems to be quickly picking up pace too). what you are imagining is only a difference in speed, not kind. this is the 'god of the gaps' argument, over and over, every time some insurmountable previous benchmark is shattered -- well, it will never be able to do my special thing

thinking (ALL the thinking) on par with a highly trained human

you are mistaking means for ends. "an automobile must be able to perform dressage on par with a fine thoroughbred!"

LLMs are so, so far from being able to the thinking that goes in a real-time musical improvisation context it's laughable.

have you actually tried any of the commercial AI music generation tools from the last year, eg suno? not an LLM but rather (probably) diffusion, it made my jaw drop the first time i played with it. but it turns out you can also use diffusion for language models https://www.inceptionlabs.ai/

no offense man but this is totally inexcusable and there is zero chance i am ever touching anything made by y'all, ever

The built-in TOTP in Bitwarden password manager is only available to premium Bitwarden subscribers, requires you to have a Bitwarden account, and stores your TOTP codes in Bitwarden's servers.

if you selfhost (eg with vaultwarden) you get all the pay features for free

"schools have incentive to fill desks. schools have incentive to not educate. students go to school and become worse because they're in a bad place"

there is no such thing as rehabilitative justice, which is just secularized christian theology of redemption; there is only keeping dangerous or destructive people away from the rest of us. if they manage to reform themselves all the better, but the stats don't indicate any persistent institutional success despite decades of effort and rotating fashions. the thing that actually brought crime down after its tremendous mid-century spike is mass incarceration, ie taking the pareto tail out of circulation

In the US police and prisons are directly derived from slave patrols. This is history and factual.

and human rights are derived from feudal rights. okay, and? is this just supposed to make you feel bad with scary words?

Recidivism rates for people incarcerated more than 6 months is something like 66% for one year post release.

this sounds very much like you are mixing up cause and effect. is it surprising that someone who commits more serious crimes is more likely to commit further crimes?

that labor is not compelled and is in fact a privilege; they are given absurdly low wages, but the jobs are still desirable vs sitting in a cell. misbehavior results in privilege revocation.

it would be more like blocking students from nigeria from applying during a period of historical tension between the US and Nigerian governments. there are a huge number of chinese individuals in other countries that did not face any filtering.

beautiful! i made a much crappier version of the same kind of thing a year or two ago with a manually converted libgen db from annas-archive's index, but the best i could come up with was webtorrenting a sqlite db of hashes and importing it into indexeddb then distributing the static fontend bundle as an urbit app; it was much uglier than this

i don't have one because it makes no sense! but frankly if it were me at that age i probably would have been showing it to my friends because it looked like a bomb

this story never made sense to me. he disassembled a digital clock then put the pieces in a pencil case? he didn't fabricate it or design any of the electronic components; what was he supposed to be demonstrating, that you can put a digital clock in new case? also his dad was a sudanese opposition politician??

if we're talking about relative human-experienced performance, the slowest computers i ever owned were in the early-mid 00s. they sped up as multicore and ssd's entered the picture and plateaued about ten years ago ime.

it is a novel reflective lcd display they developed for their devices; i haven't seen it in person yet but it is an epaper solution like e-ink, though does not have some of the advantages e-ink does, like sustaining an image without power, and battery life generally seems to be on par with a typical tablet

Check out daylight: https://daylightcomputer.com/

they've only launched recently (mine arrives monday) but it uses a novel display tech which purports to be e-ink-like with 60fps. i'm very excited because the main usecase for ereaders that i've found totally unworkable for the last 15 years of trying is marking up the margins of a pdf while i read it; early readers were too small to read pdf's, current gen ones can be large and high-dpi enough but are still agonizingly slow to refresh. finally, finally i can just take notes in my docs. plus it runs android and you can hack it https://www.daylighthacker.wiki/

You could already just buy any other currency for that and you’d still be better off. Crypto, being a ponzi scheme, has price fluctuations that make it undesirable as a store of wealth.

this is in fact the majority use-case when i refer to people disciplining their central banks -- savings are converted to stablecoins pegged to the dollar etc. there is no alternative system that ordinary people have access to; buying dollars at a foreign exchange business is regulated and incurs punitive fees to prevent this from happening.

accountable in the sense that it approves appointees and receives reports, not in the sense that congress or voters have any say in monetary policy decisions. this is literally the point of the fed, to put it outside of electoral politics so it is not subject to democracy.

i'm sure that is deep solace when you lose half of your savings to inflation. btw not sure which central banks you're thinking of, but this checks and balances stuff does not apply to the fed at least; it is explicitly defined as independent (ie unaccountable).

it gives ordinary people the ability to discipline their central bank and preserve their own personal holdings. there are other uses but this is the one i care about.

I’d bet less than 0.1% of good and services are actually bought with it. (Optimistic estimates are 0.2%).

this also applies to nearly every 'normal' currency

monetary policy is what central banks do
