Don't forget "herd immunity".

Is this not just an instance of Sailer’s Law of Female Journalism?
The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.
In this case, by problematizing the appreciation of the women currently considered hotter than her as "objectification".

I can't find any good community things about this. Could be the 13th? That's got things like Houdini writing about "Conjuring", Marconi writing about wireless telegraphy, etc:
The contributors included Niels Bohr (“Atom”), Marie and Irène Curie (“Radium”), Albert Einstein (“Space-Time”), Henry Ford (“Mass Production”), Sigmund Freud (“Psycho-analysis”), George Bernard Shaw (“Socialism: Principles and Outlook”), and Leon Trotsky (“Lenin”).

And even if it's not the one that answers your question, there's apparently one edition of the Britannica that's considered peak. Does anyone remember which it is?

Yeah I agree with you and the two siblings that it's still a good show and very enjoyable to watch. The franchise had its spinoffs and its run and then died, but now Amazon MGM is attempting to revive it. What I'm asking is more: at what point does it become a referent in the nostalgia cycle whose 'memberberries can be harvested? It doesn't seem as ready to go as classic 90's conspiracy theory stuff (which would absolutely be part of 90s!Stranger Things), X-Files, etc.

At what point does Stargate (particularly SG-1) rotate back into consciousness?
Over the past few weeks we've had several serious vulnerabilities found in the Linux kernel (CopyFail, DirtyFrag, PinTheft), and LLM assistance has reduced the gap between "suspicious bugfix smells like it might patch a vulnerability", "someone other than the reporter/reportee has PoC and/or a working exploit", and "attackers are deploying it live in the wild" to nearly zero time.
Curl is an unusually disciplined project, and I think it is hard to generalize lessons from it.

How did we lose these moral antibodies? Best I can think of is that they adapted to the busybodies from the right, which were more church/establishment coded, than the left-flavored ones we have now.

froze her eggs in her late 30s
This cannot have helped. I wonder how her story would have changed, if she'd done it at 20?

The state already takes a strong view about how any child is raised, most notably via the education system.

The Protoss SC2 campaign is just "there are N locations each guarded by progressively stronger groups of enemies" over and over again. It's tiresome. And if the writers had the balls to keep Kerrigan human and have some amount of control over the Zerg, and reckon with what she did as the Queen of Blades, then the back half of HotS would have been much more interesting.

It would need either a lot of commentary and explanation, or it would just be an anthology of know the workplace rules memes.

Birth just enough of them so there are people to do the hard and risky jobs, and let everything else be done by women. One man can impregnate hundreds of women after all, so even gradually reducing the male:female ratio to less than 2:10 should be more than sufficient to keep up the population.
That's more than twice as generous as Sally Miller Gearhart's proposal to maintain the proportion of men at 10% of the human race.

It's funny how well the psyop worked in F1, when there have been so many efforts over the years to get women into gaming and none of it ever stuck. It seems like such an obvious formula too.

Petrol in remote areas needs additives put in it to stop them sniffing it and suffering brain damage.
You sometimes see the internet racists post the "don't sleep on the road" PSA video, which aired in Australia's Northern Territories. It's one of those things that I really would have expected to be so absurd to be a racist fabrication, but sadly it seems to be real.
I'm not here to promote it. I think that if we're not very careful, existing prediction markets risk stumbling into incentivizing that by default, and this is a bad thing. Prediction markets might be fine among intelligent and conscientious forecasters, but I think they're another entry on the very long list of "good-sounding ideas that go badly when you roll them out society-wide".

It's worse than that, because it also allows insider trading on literally anything you can stand up a market for, and you can also use them to directly incentivize specific behaviors without individually bribing someone or having a causal link back to the act to the person who funded it. And people complained about stochastic terrorism!

That'd be an interesting effortpost if ever you have the time. What's the main gambling people do over there?

I once helped a friend bury a family pet. He had told his young son what had happened: that she was sick and the vets couldn't figure out why, and that the kindest thing to do was to put her down so she wouldn't suffer any more. The vet had prepared a pawprint and a little jar of her fur as mementos. We each helped dig the hole in the back yard, each of us said a couple of words about how we liked her, and we put something heavy on top of the soil so the dog wouldn't dig her back up.

I never found faith. Hopefully God can forgive that little design flaw in my wetware, if He is indeed out there.

How does a zoomer choose a Star Control reference for a username?
Your work is doing things in the most retarded way possible if they're forcing you to use local CPU inference only. I'm not one of the AI boosters around here but I do use models from the big US labs a fair bit at work. I can see the local models becoming more capable and even quite useful for local tasks, but there's no way I'm getting one to vomit up a project from nothing and expecting miracles. I have had asked for audits of old code and had it found bugs that I missed (as well as a lot of noise).
As far as I can tell,
llama.cppis a lot better thanollama. While it's much less of a turn-key experience, many models never seem to make it across toollama, and its inference is slower in my experience. It also seems to be slower at picking up newer developments, like multi-token prediction:For running local models, there are quite a few things to think about:
Q4_K_XLis usually a "sweet spot" most people go for, and here's someone claiming 80 tokens/sec withQwen3.6-35B-A3B-Q4_K_XLon a 12GB card: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1t82zxv/80_toksec_and_128k_context_on_12gb_vram_with/ . Ignore the stuff about the MTP PR; that's since been merged tomaster.Then there's actually getting it running and doing something useful. For that I'll defer to the above guide on how to launch
llama-serverfor this model on a 12GB card. You'll then have to point OpenCode at your local server and see if it goes any better for you. No promises, my sense is that local stuff is on the edge of being "quite decent" and it's worth having a finger in the local model pie so when it does get genuinely good. I don't ever want to be locked into paying for subscription compute.More options
