There's no way "feeling safe" is a legal right

I have a similar personal experience, except all social interactions make me feel like that.

I'm glad you found something that worked with you. This type of experiment (consume less self administered psychoactives and access emotional changes) is something I would encourage everyone to do. However, it's a common mistake to take an experiment with a small sample size and assume it's results will generalize well over the population. For that we can look to the scientific literature. Inside we find it's well supported that increasing dose of alcohol is associated with increased depression. We do not find the same amount of support for caffeine/coffee, where it's more plausible there is a negative correlation between caffeine and depression.

Your experiment is great because now you know what works best for you. The way you talk about it seems to indicate that you use the experiment as a basis for knowing what is best for the population at large. A scientific study is a much stronger piece of evidence for shaping our views on how alcohol/caffeine effect the population.

You can look at salary ranges on levels.fyi to get some indication of what pay is in different companies and cities in the US. For top level companies you can be looking at starting salaries around $150k for Bay Area.

> The shift was made with the corporation’s shortfall in engineers in mind. Finding it difficult to secure enough Japanese, Money Forward decided to replace Japanese with English to attract foreign personnel.

How many English speakers are they attracting? I would imagine national immigration policy is the primary limiting factor for how many English speaking software engineers a company could attract. There's plenty of qualified people in the North American and Europe that would be interested in working in Japan while speaking English.

A subreddit is not a dictatorship. Everyone that participates in the subreddit it doing so voluntarily. Your argument that Reddit has a higher authority that can deal with bad moderators just kicks the can. What if the Reddit universal mods abuse their power in the same ways your described?

Synthetic has different (but similar) effects. Synthetic might be cheaper than THC-8 or 9 for some buyers. I think it's plausible a good amount of users will prefer some synthetics in a blind test.

I think Microsoft could reasonably expect to continue expanding cloud sales for the foreseeable future, in a way that will show healthy growth for 1-2 decades.

GameStop was originally known as being a clean, well lit retailer that sold new and used games together as well as consoles, accessories, and general merch. Their staff was young, friendly, and knew about their products.

This recipe lead to them expanding quickly, often nudging out other regional/local game stores. Unfortunately, during this time period they also began some pretty annoying practices. They started pushing magazine subscriptions and club memberships with every sale. Same with extended warranties. The checkout process was awful. At the same time, complaints about how management was treating the staff started coming in.

What really hit the nail on the GameStop coffin was digital downloads. Since PS4/Xbox One generation the consoles have had large enough hard drives and fast enough network connections to buy and download games from the internet. This began to cut into physical game sales. With the latest generation you have to pay extra money to have a disk drive, and the consoles have low cost subscriptions that include a access to a healthy library of games. These all hurt sales, and GameStop isn't in a position to replace those sales with anything else.

Yea, I agree with this for gaming. Eye tracking as a gaming interface probably requires rethinking a lot about games. In VR for example the movespeed is much slower. In normal video games the character movement is constantly super-human speed, and this is jarring while in VR.

I am speaking mostly about the desktop interactions. In your Chrome Dev situation, I would look at the cursor before clicking on the stop recording button. I think I might be able to trust the MBP trackpad to do a primed click without looking at the cursor, but I wouldn't trust a traditional desktop mouse to have stayed steady enough.

> We’re beyond peak craft brew.

Peak craft beer implies that the trend is now on a downward trajectory. I don't know if that is the case, craft beer feels really ingrained in the culture at this point.

1. Is there a decrease in craft breweries being started, or total gallons of craft beer being produced?

2. Is there a decrease in beer brewing hobby supplies?

Yea, I don't think a 1-to-1 translation of mouse movements with eye tracking is the correct answer here. I do think it's probable that eye tracking + {X} can be a 1-to-1 translation for clicking for 80%+ clicks.

Maybe X is a button on the keyboard. Maybe X is a gesture.

I don't click without looking at my mouse pointer. I think it's possible eye tracking is just better than mouse/trackpad.

They said it runs xcode, so I'd assume so

> I’m actually somewhat excited because the quality of most subreddits have tanked over time.

People have been complaining about decreasing quality of content on reddit since the beginning of reddit.

I use to be a reddit power user, but my relationship with the platform has been extremely casual (less than 5 hours/yr) for the last 10 years. Even after all this time, Reddit could win me back as a power user if the platform was better.

I've come to associate online platforms marketing themselves as free speech havens as being extremely far right ideologically. Are there any examples of non-censored media that either doesn't cover politics or covers the entire spectrum?

All of the things you loved about life before COVID are still out there. Caffeine, nicotine, and adderall shouldn't prevent you from being able to experience the world.

All of the same arguments can be made for SMTP, and hosting your own server there.

I have a few thoughts on this.

* We have to use auth that belong to the user and not the LLM, or we have to use a combination of LLM and user keys. The LLM cannot have global read/write access.

* We could give each LLM limited access to APIs but have multiple LLMs. In this way we can control user access to API endpoints based on which LLM they have access to.

* Any context building information we feed the LLM can probably be leaked so we shouldn't feed it any sensitive prompts. In fact we should assume any information we give the LLM can be leaked, so we should treat feeding an LLM data as the same security risk as feeding the user data.

> AI is just harvesting the existing output of humanity. Once it burns through that it will just become stale, or produce vapid nonsense that we all ignore.

What? I don't think content we send into LLM is a one-time consumable. The output will be the same level over time, it doesn't devolve into nonsense.

I'm also super interested in if this reduces total global human writing output or not. I think it will clearly have an impact, but I am not confident enough to say which way it will go

This one wasn't the worst offender among them, which was largely about how LLMs are pushing us towards "Great Homogenization" and why that is a bad thing.

As the price of photovoltaic continues strongly downward, all other energy sources will seem increasingly expensive. So much energy will be consumed during the day, and more and more nighttime energy use will be constrained. The traditional power sources like Coal, Nuclear, and Oil will be slowly decommissioned as they age, leading towards a reduction of base generation. Gas peakers will be used as needed when the base generation plus renewables don't meet demand. Over time, batteries will become a larger and highly predictable system to handle peak demands. The price of battery storage is plummeting too. Although there are open questions on if the improvements in battery tech will continue, if it does continue then in 30 to 40 years the cheapest way to sell peak power will be to buy it during photovoltaic abundance, store it in a battery, and then release it. At this point we will be able to stop using gas peakers.

I'm unsure if you meant to deadname Emily, or if you are unaware of her public transition a couple of weeks ago.

* Eventually ownership will disperse from the core group of initial owners to investors in general

* As a larger ownership moves towards investors, decisions are made that sacrifice the special sauce in order to increase returns.

* Appeasing general investors leads towards enshittification.

Sometimes a strong leader (Jobs, Cook) can keep the investor class as bay for a period. Sometimes leadership can be consolidated for long periods of time to delay the process (Walton, Zuck), but it feels inevitable after IPO.

This really depends on how hungry the cat is. Feral cats commonly kill mammals larger than NYC rats, although they prefer smaller game. In general, you can expect a feline to be able to kill prey over twice it's body weight. In many habitats felines are the apex predator, and even feral cats are apex predators of some habitats.

The biggest issue is that NYC rats, the non-native species that have evolved in urban environments, have evolved with cats as a predator for a long period of time and are better than native birds/small mammals at evading cats. Cats eat the native population at a higher rate, which means the invasive and hated 'NYC rats' have less competition from native populations.

If you have an answer to this question don't spill the beans. Many cities livable at 80k will find themselves unlivable if they hit 160k in 15 years.

Different people have different homes, and different offices have different norms. My home is less distracting than the office, and the environment itself is much less stressful than the office. It seems weird for Google to force the decision instead of trusting employees to make the right choice for them.

A few questions come to mind:

1. Does the protection extend to allowing airplanes to takeoff/land during a storm?

2. Can this be weaponized?

3. Can this protect forests from lightning initiated forest fires?

No, there isn't enough lightning. Global lightning output is around 1% (or less) of global energy consumption. There is nothing about the technology that unlocks lightning bolt harvesting as a new feasible power source. We could do really similar things with simple lightning rods that have been around for centuries.
