I believe there's something similar in modern South Korea where the Talmud is among the most common "inspirational" books given to children who graduate middle or high school.

Appalachia never got the Southern Strategy firmware update so national party affiliations are all a bit fuzzy. If anything it's surprising that this guy waited until 2022 to switch unlike other state politicians who did so in the 2016~18 election cycles.

Essentially all of the Claude-authored rsync commits are for CI and the test suite, so it's more like AI failed to catch regressions introduced in response to a huge wave of (AI-generated) CVE reports than AI introducing those bugs itself.

The FACE Act was nominally supposed to be that universal law despite the name, but as far as I'm aware no one has ever been convicted under that law for disrupting religious worship, it has only ever successfully been used against the pro-life movement.

The FB pixel localhost sidechannel exfiltration got caught within a year or so, but the researchers that found it realized that Yandex had been using a similar technique for 7 years without getting caught.

I watched ~10 minutes from the middle of the first video and this looks super fake. There's no way a small/fast model could seamlessly navigate a 3d space using wasd+mouse (which is extremely complicated compared to the controls available to a self driving car), and then it goes and does things like jumping over a wall that was visually obstructed without pausing for a second. It also switches between using shift and right click to dash, which makes absolutely no sense for an agent to do.

The term "pogchamp" is culture war-loaded itself but not in a way that seems relevant here.

Not sure you realize how late sunrises are in the western edge of the Eastern time zone. It would be ~9AM in nearly all of Michigan, nearly all of Indiana, large parts of Ohio/Kentucky and western PA (Pittsburgh would get to 8:40 at worst). Even Atlanta would be after 8:30 for a few weeks in December.

Maybe he's referring to the many proposals for permanent DST (which would have winter sunrises around 9AM in a lot of America).

This is possibly worth its own top level post at some point but AdGuard is currently fighting what looks like state actor attempts to censor archive.is (it's not clear which state if any is actually responsible, but they at least claim to represent French regulators). AdGuard responded pretty well in this case but the general method of spamming CSAM reports to censorship-friendly regulators scales much better than most private internet infrastructure middlemen can handle.

Have you tried setting your phone display to grayscale (either in the morning only or even all day)? I've been doing that for a few weeks and anecdotally it helps prevent absent minded screen checking.

It's pretty easy to lock yourself out of half the side content in Act 2, which is where and why I quit my first playthrough of the game. The main things to know are that you should probably go around talking to everyone in that zone before picking optional fights and that the Tiefling refugees you already met in Act 1 are the main set of recurrent quest relevant NPCs (there's an achievement for having every single one of them survive the whole game but you don't need to go that far).

As someone that has played them all (other than 1 and 2, which were made obsolete by their remakes), 3H is probably the Fire Emblem I'd be least likely to every try to play again, and I only finished 2 routes. The guiding principle of modern FE is that every single playable character is potentially the self-insert's husband/wife, and it severely handicaps what they can do in both story and gameplay. The majority of the cast were prevented from having any meaningful role in the second half of the plot, and the ability to always recruit the best characters from each house couldn't have helped the balance design. 3H tried really hard to get the Persona audience when the SMT spinoff they should have emulated was Devil Survivor, where playable characters will happily tell you to fuck off if you choose a route they wouldn't agree with.
You're right in general, but some of it is just that high paid tech workers don't want to live in Loudon County over the other nearby areas. My prior job was for sw infra engineering work on a (first party, non-AWS/GCP) data center in that area, where physical proximity to the building didn't matter for my role but did for people on teams I worked with every day. Our office was in Herndon (Fairfax County, right on the other side of the border), and I lived with the other yuppies in Arlington.
