If you haven't bought a Klein Bottle from Cliff I strongly encourage you to do so. He is a treasure.

Yeah, sadly the link to their visualizations is gated behind X.com

Facebook was leveraging Onavo at the time to understand growth trends in competitors. They 100% acquired Instagram and WhatsApp because their growth trends posed threats to the Blue app.

I have this system 80% done for novels on my machine at home.

It is terrifyingly good at writing. I expected Freshmen college level but it's actually close to professional in terms of prose.

The plan is maybe transition into children's books then children shows made with AI catered to a particular child at a particular phase of development (Bluey talks to your kid about making sure to pick up their toys)

I am looking to get a new monitor in the next year or so and have been considering ultra-wides. During my research the proportion of people that had horrible experiences with Samsung monitors, typically right after warranty expired, was enough to deter me from the entire brand in the future.

I don't think your tone aligns with the community guidelines[1]. Please consider not being snarky and sarcastic but actually responding to the merit of what people say here.

I can't endorse this more. I wasn't familiar with Robert Caro until this series started (I had heard of the LBJ biography but hadn't looked into it).

The interviews at the end of each episode is super insightful about how the structures of power continue to operate in the current day.

There aren't three, there is every justice between when the decision was decided and now. Republican and Democratic judges upheld stare decisis for years.

Note Roberts isn't of questionable character but if he loses the conservative majority he may as well side with them to keep political capital. The other five not so much.

Wasn't this decision essentially made by the ultimate regulatory body in the country?

How is the supreme court beholden to citizenry? They have life appointments, they're beholden to no one (except exceedingly rich "friends" apparently)

So.... Feels like all this ignoring Stare Decisis is setting the groundwork for the court to get packed and become another joke of our governance mechanism.

By opening the package of salmonella you've agreed to binding arbitration agreement in the venue of their choosing.... Sadly I'm not even that far from serious.

> A huge win for democracy and freedom that both major US parties and all citizens should celebrate.

You've said this elsewhere in thread but you're making an idealogical claim with no supporting information. Congress is virtually non-functional, the court voted on idealogical lines, it only benefits one party to put more responsibility into congress.

So maybe 50% of the country should be celebrating?

I for one see a lot of problems with this ruling and the secondary and tertiary consequences it will cause.

Can you explain why that would be the case?

No longer true.

In 1997-ish I failed to install Slackware from 16 or so floppies repeatedly. In 2000 I had a system up and running but could not get connectivity. In 2005 almost everything "just worked" out of the box. In 2013 everything just worked.

I have recently started reflecting on how easy it is to do things now for free compared to the proprietary landscape we had before. Virtually every proprietary software has a (or multiple) free open source alternatives. The potential for human intellectual productivity has never been this high.

VSCode and Markdown go a long way for me because it allows for index linking and some other nifty tricks. The main challenge is making sure the md files are organized.

I am trying to get in contact with the person that runs/owns this site to understand what licensing constraints the rules fall under.

Anyone happen to know Brendan Quinn?

Separately, a great role playing resource

If Brother Laser Printers didn't exist I'd be more worried. I don't know what people that need color printing do anymore.

Is this a piece of legislation with a serious chance of passing?

How would something like this even be enforced?

Maybe 'educational plan' is a misnomer. How about 'strategy and tactics'. Both knowing what the child should eventually learn and adapting so that they learn it.

I said in another comment before I read yours: homeschooling, having more outcomes at the extremes, lead to many people to have observational biases (and strong opinions) in both directions.

I think the only conclusion I've been able to draw from anecdotes about homeschooling (having experienced it myself) is that outcomes are more varied than traditional education, whether there's a bias in that variance is not something anyone can speak to (as of yet).

A very smart student has the opportunity to get much farther ahead whereas a poorly crafted education plan and/or an unmotivated student has the potential for negative outcomes.

I have a family member who was hired as an Emergency teacher over 20 years ago. They've since become fully credentialed, obtained their masters in education, taught masters students, and organized a particular program/subject at the district level.

Speaking with them, their experience has been the core driver of a successful teacher is primarily whether they want to be there and care about the students success.

Of course, when they were first hired they spent all of their free time crafting lessons plans for a subject they basically failed in high school. Studying the textbook and relevant material so they could teach it.

Thank you for the well-reasoned reply, I misunderstood the thrust of your commentary.

> I read this as "the fact that he is calculating makes it less likely that he has changed." But maybe you just meant "the fact that he is calculating means that I require stronger evidence that he has changed"?

That's a fair point. I need to reflect more on that. It is not my place to proclaim absolutely likelihood, you're correct. I think the latter statement is closer to the thrust that I'm getting at. My burden of proof for redemption is higher than a less calculating criminal/crime.

The glass cube sounds like it could be cool.

I consider it a Bayesian approach to understanding potential internal drivers. Someone who is not cold and calculating likely has less capacity to completely present the appearance of redemption whereas someone who is calculating has that capacity.

So, someone who is demonstrated to be calculating has higher odds of faking a behavior if it is beneficial to them (e.g. leaving prison).

It's for him to know, but I don't think it's ridiculous for me to question.

I am not going to touch on your other points as you clearly have decided your mind.

> why a mistake he committed in personal life would make his file system a taboo to touch.

He is no longer here to fix bugs or improve the file system, it is not that it's Taboo to touch per se. The benefits of ReiserFS are no longer clear compared to alternatives, there's a cost to including ReiserFS (which Reiser acknowledges), no other FS is associated with the name of a premeditated murderer.

A couple paragraphs below on the wiki:

> As of 2020, Reiser was housed at the Correctional Training Facility near Soledad, California, with a tentative parole eligibility date of August 2027 after parole was denied in 2022.

I suspect many are aware of this but for those uninformed:

Reiser committed premeditated murder of his (ex?)wife Nina around 2006 and hid her body so well they could not find her. He made his children think either that their mother abandoned them. He had thought without a body he could not be charged and convicted.

I believe he waited until it was apparent he would lose the trial and then plead down so that they could recover her body.

I want to believe redemption is possible, especially given how eloquent he is, but his demonstration of calculation over emotion in her murder makes me strongly question his change.

I cannot endorse Muji enough. They are also easy to obtain in the US. I save my empty pens so I can refill them. I just got a full color set to use as well.

The ink flow levels are always balanced, never too much or too little. It's hard to explain but it also has a good "feel" when writing that I do not find in many other pens.
