When I was a kid I used to make bows and arrows, and so obviously lit arrows on fire.

You for sure need an accelerant. I recall personally using gas line antifreeze. Otherwise yeah they’ll extinguish pretty much instantly.

I can’t really remember if the flaming arrows “flamed” the whole flight, or if they extinguished in flight but because of the accelerant were able to reignite once they stopped.

My dad gave me $1 to seed a lemonade stand. Trump’s dad gave him billions.

Our experiences are equivalent.

As others have said, probably best to just enforce at the router level…

Before anyone goes to war, it’s probably worth even clarifying if it’s true or not. I had a roommate convinced I was “hogging bandwidth” but our internet was just shitty. Over copper. Very inconsistent. I had to literally shut off everything i had to convince them it wasn’t even me.

They swore up and down it was me. There was a pattern. It was the only explanation.

To refine that even further, he doesn’t appear to imply that the dev isn’t WORKING hard enough, only that they’re not being OPTIMALLY PRODUCTIVE.

What he’s trying to do, really is float and normalize the concept of baking tokens into HR math in terms of a “golden ratio”… which happens to be 2:1.

So, when a company goes all in on ai, and they cut thier workforce in half, they’ll need to add in 50% for tokens. 50% of the original staff, at a new 150% cost, puts the company at 75% pre ai workforce cost. This is the “guidelines” they’re trying to normalize.

I’m really enjoying it too. I feel like they really refined a lot of the existing mechanics… it’s so much more clear to me know what the original envisioning of some mechanics were.

I feel like they saw how the game ended up being played, and went back to the drawing board.

In pretty much the opposite direction, my hill is that “right”,“wrong”, “blameworthiness” and “praiseworthyness” are concepts that people are in general allergic to critical thought towards, and they are EXACTLY the concepts that people should be approaching in order to have a better life and to make a better world.

Bingo.

Maybe not outright fired, but absolutely open them up to career limits based on what you described.

All of Amazon’s code undergoes code reviews already. Accepting a PR is already spiritually a sign off.

This is just explicitly a threat, explicitly trying to find someone to hold accountable because you can’t hold ai accountable. What are they gonna do, fire the ai? Sign here to be the fall guy. Fuck off.

You could probably intentionally create a qr code with a simple recognizable symbol, but it’d still necessarily have “clutter” around it which would make it stand out less. Also there are hard limits on the length of contiguous horizontal or vertical “lines”.

OP is asking if there are algorithms in place that detect if the qr code itself has, by chance, anything that looks like a swastika.

I like the project, but it seems like as soon as buddy got access to real-time e-ink he just never looked back.

As well, I get the UI appeal of negative space, but my god it costs a fortune in e-ink.

As everyone is noting here, this project shows a pattern of “money is no object” in every decision made.

That doesn’t mean it has to be, though. My gut tells me you could slash the cost in (at least) half while retaining like 90% of the utility.

I think you can use home kit ones locally… which really broadens your options

I’d even be interested in a parent of a 5 year old who’s been at daycare for 4 years.

It’s my suspicion that a second, later-in-life battering of a person with respiratory illnesses is in some part responsible for the longer average lifespan of parents. I expect the effect would be more pronounced if somehow parenting didn’t come with all the anxiety and stress, which I expect is a negative pressure on average lifespan.

Because I don’t understand correlation vs causation, I can only conclude that the monetization of X caused a steep decline in knife violence

Are you suggesting the federal government might… stop buying guns?

If it makes you feel any better, I always hear and appreciate the little countermelodies coming from the Euphs

Oh, don’t worry about that. The inflated egos are distributed across all the musicians too. It takes a special kind of personality to achieve that level of singular proficiency.

I think it’s one other reason to HAVE a conductor, is to have an ultimate authority on some matters where musicians egos get involved.

In many (most?) compositions, there are going to be some banger little licks in many different sections. It honestly kinda sucks sometimes when you’ve got one… but you gotta hold it back because it’s still just a supporting component. To you, as the musician… you might fall in love with it, wanna push it, take the opportunity to shine and generate some goosebumps. And, obviously, since you’re God’s gift to the world, you SHOULD. The composer was WRONG to hit you with a mp. Maybe the composer’s French Horns couldn’t lead with it, but they never envisioned your talent.

The trumpets shoot you a look to calm down? Fuck 'em. They always get the spotlight.

Having a structure with an ego to rule all egos helps (does NOT eliminate) these kinds of things.

At the highest levels of proficiency, knowing “when to play” doesn’t rreeaallyy require a conductor.

An orchestra of professionals mutates into this crazy combined organism. A hive mind, with thousands of signals being generated and consumed among the members. Negotiations all over the place.

The conductor stands in the front not just because it’s convenient, but because they’re in the best relative position to understand what the audience will ultimately hear. If I’m in percussion, positionally I’m getting a skewed take on the relative dynamics of the piccolos. As a professional, they’d have a good “gut feel”, but thier ears are simply not in the right spot to know for sure. The conductors are.

The acoustics of a performance space are drastically different when the seats are full of meat, too.

The conductor is acting as the source of truth and feedback for that hive mind, from a physical position which gives them the best understanding of the complete sound being produced. While professionals CAN do a very passable job of distributing that work, it’s an additional burden and with an imperfect set of inputs. Having one person set the tone and act as that authority frees up capacity on the individuals to do thier best work.

530 to sit down for supper, after supper a little outing like a bike ride or car ride to the store, be home by 7, yogurt at 730, then straight to teeth brushing/bath. Pjs/books (with the light already low, then crib.

Also super consistent with nap timings. If he wakes up during his nap windows, we just let him chill in the crib.

Hardest part for us was just getting everyone into the routine. Did take a few weeks.

That being said, I’ll relay the best parenting advice we got, which was “every parent thinks what works for them is the objectively ideal approach. Every kid is different. Take it all with a grain of salt and figure out what works for you”

For us, having a rigidly consistent routine helped that kinda dovetailed into bedtime. Supper at the same time, baths/teeth brushing at the same time, pajamas at the same time, etc etc.

Maybe you’re already doing that, but it helped for us. Every kid is different, so obviously your milage may vary
