it helps to have a good sewing machine - the difference between a poor quality one and e.g. a nice bernina is dramatic. even an old one thats been well maintained will give you many years of reliable use with minimal maintenance, and they're very affordable used
A tick bite in alberta? diagnosed lyme? when? seems very unlikely - there are no recorded cases in the 30+ years of tracking of a case of lyme disease from a bite _in alberta_. All from exposure elsewhere
(not to say that alberta will stay that lucky forever)
If I'm reading correctly, the indexing (Context Store) is neutral/unopinionated? How does it select fields for indexing?
Have you done any testing on guided indexing, or metadata layers on top of the data? My experience so far on similar work is that getting data in front of an agent isn't enough context to get useful/reliable answers enough of the time. I.e. _what_ you index, and how you signpost for agents, becomes really important (unless your data is super clean I guess). This does look like a good foundation for that kind of tooling though!
Wow thats a name I haven't heard in a long time! I really miss the way tacops 2.2 felt, never did get along with 3.x versions. Was definitely a formative gaming experience for me as well
What does this mean? Is there a list of approved conversation allowed on trails? What difference does it make if they are talking to someone virtually or physically present on the trail?
177ms from west coast of NA, but that is slower than I would have estimated. Other than HN, almost everything else I use regularly feels subjectively way slower, although I've not checked response time.
Congrats! Ordered. Been waiting for a physical copy, being able to scribble notes in the margins and bookmark and flip back and forth by hand just works so much better for me.
I think the big problem here was with Starcraft 2's lack of UMS and chat room focus compared to Brood War. I played competitive 1v1 in both, and anecdotally I spent alot more time in Brood War, and much of that time was socializing, playing casual games, and UMS--largely with friends who didn't play competitively.
This community was completely destroyed by SC2, multiplayer really only appealed to serious competitive players. It sucked unless you only wanted to grind ladder. That community kept the game as a whole alive and acted as a gateway.
Aside from the branding and history problems here, actually kind of surprising its been this long before a mainstream brand came up with a "vetted" crypto miner. Interesting.
Press release is extremely vague, but I read this to be they have implemented their own eth mining client to set up their own pool? Normally miners and pools take a small cut, there is no mention of that here. Surely they are going to do the same? Are they going to cover their own payout transactions, or charge end users?
Its possible this could actually be a bit compelling if they're not taking a cut, although way too late to the party, and ironically their reputation is starting out far worse than anonymously developed miners on popular pools.
If you want to reduce animal suffering, there's a pretty good argument that cows are the last animals/animal products you should stop eating.
You should definitely stop eating eggs, as egg-laying chickens live short, miserable lives where their bodies are destroyed rapidly. Chickens, fish and other small animals in captivity live short, miserable lives, and one family can eat a whole chicken in a day -- thats alot of chicken deaths to eat chicken regularly.
Cows by comparison generally live pretty good lives, better than any wild cattle. They can roam and eat well and socialize, and slaughter is pretty humane compared to being hunted down by predators or dying slowly of an infection, broken leg or other natural cause. And one cow death can feed an entire family for a very long time.
I mean, isn't that sort of the fundamental problem with government funding? They're not very good at picking winners, and when they make winners by picking, sometimes it still turns out to be a mistake (e.g. diesel in Europe).
Still, it does seem something infrastructure/utility-ish like Signal would be a good candidate for at least some support.
Of course no one individually wants to sacrifice for society. The point is that if everyone is willing to do it, everyone is better off. By making some sort of collective incentive to have a wider distribution of incomes in neighbourhoods and schools, everyone is better off.
The same is true if we want to moderate extremism. If you kick extremists off the mainstream platform, they become more extreme. It's a hard problem.
This logic does not work. You must make a choice to balance risks, because EVERYTHING has risks. Aggregate economic ruin kills people.
By your logic, you shouldn't be able to sell cars, food, practice medicine, go for a walk, run, play sports, do ANYTHING AT ALL because all of these things could injure or kill you or others.
The dismissiveness in this thread is unreal. From the comments you'd think the article only had one sentence insulting the Sanctity of Cargo Pants. If you happily wear baggy jeans or cargo pants, these are not for you and you don't have the problem they solve.
It's an elegant solution to wear slim fitted pants without awful hip pocket bulges. Cargo pants are not the solution here, as they are huge and baggy and the pockets flop around with anything in them.
What TFA is doing is basically the inverse of a digital camera sensor. They're essentially putting a coloured tint in front of each pixel (actually a block of 4 pixels) in a bayer pattern (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter), and using software to mosaic (convert) a colour image into its Bayer components if you will so that a block of four pixels under a green tint for example is lit only with it's green channel, and so on for each colour. You lose some spatial resolution this way of course.
