You are going too far down the woo side when its just some chemicals and elecitrcal signals inside a frame of dry calcium phosphate doing what is expected of it just like any other electrical and chemical system. There is nothing you can argue, souls or not, that will argue these are not just electrochemical systems like any other. If the human brain has consciousness, then so does a piece of skin tissue.
To each their own, but hard to grasp why. It's one the most expensive assets you own. Why wouldn't you want to monitor it at least?
Do you also not have house monitoring (you don't need to control every light switch (which can be useful to have lights on when you get back home), but things like temperature, humidity, power use, air quality, water use/leaks is far cheaper than 1 insurance claim).
Have you ever seen a combine harvester kill animals sheltering in a crop during harvest, or considered how many animals are killed by the pesticides used in crop production?
> It's not possible to directly locate the directory where the file is located at once.
Where are you at when you're trying to get the file location? If the file is open, typically you can right-click the file name in the titlebar of the window to see the hierarchy of folders from / to the file. Clicking any folder in this hierarchy will open that folder in Finder.
Next to the filename in the titlebar of the window, if you hover over it for a second, you'll see an icon show up to the left of it (not sure why they decided to start hiding this)... this is a proxy icon that lets you drag and drop the active file as if you were dragging it from Finder.
> Also, the preview of files is not as smooth as it should be.
Is this thumbnail loading that you're talking about? I have noticed that can feel a little slow on my M1 Pro, at least if he folder hasn't been opened recently. For quick file previews, I've found QuickLook (selecting a file and using Space to open/close a preview) to be extremely fast. I miss it on Windows and Linux... there are clones of it, but I don't find they work as well.
Every time I'm reading about the technical challenges of these kind of projects, it reminds me how amazing our brains are, doing what they do with only about 30W
there's an artistic effect I keep seeing that only works with generative AI. It seems to be alternating traditional transforms (translate, rotate, scale, perspective, color shift, take your pick of anything you want) with diffusion steps to bring the resulting image back to the same semantic prompt every frame. Looks trippy, like the image is moving, yet also staying the same (like a Shepard tone), and also constantly drifting in details
Tenant advocates recognize that eviction is an existential threat to their way of life and so understandably they are fighting for their short term future. I disagree with their efforts in the long term, but I understand why they'd do what they're doing.
In contrast when you have enormously wealthy people like Marc Andreessen fighting against higher density zoning there is no such excuse and it's pure greed. Nothing could actually be an existential disruption to the wealthy in the same way. There is no reason to listen to the rich like Andreessen at all.
The equitable thing would be to focus on redeveloping wealthy homeowner areas and limit redevelopment in areas occupied by poor renters, but somehow that option never seems to be on the table. Only the reverse.
They're also extremely useful for introducing CVEs into terminal emulators; I think I've seen about 5 of those on HN — including one OSC sequence that would cause the terminal emulator to just straight up automatically launch the web browser with whatever URLs were sent its way, no prompts no nothing.
Tell me where I argued against everything that's not LVT lol
Again strawman and false dichotomy.
I can't help if you think LVT wouldn't reduce the disparity sufficiently. I'm saying that it's possible it does. I outlined the process how. You don't accept it that's fine. But I do think a big LVT would make a heck of a difference.
Again, that doesn't mean I'm against every and any other tax that could also make a difference.
Telsa answers to the NTSB. There are rules. A fridge? As long as it doesn't catch fire when you plug it in, it's 'let the market decide' sloppy, cheap, lazy products.
It depends on why the tutor is hired. If the student is easily distracted, the presence of a human tutor will prevent them doom-scrolling brainrot videos, whereas an AI tutor won't have that effect on them. I have an ASD level 2 son approaching year 11 and this is why I'll be hiring a human tutor next year.
>A land tax means that you don't own property but rent it.
A few comments:
1) we already have property taxes so I don't understand the objection; a land value tax is just a property tax with a different way of assessing value.
2) I don't think this idea of "not owning property, only renting it" is actually that crazy if you take a long term view over it. Land is a finite, shared resource. We already acknowledge that you don't have absolute rights over land that you own in the same way you do over, say, a toaster. We place all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with it, we tax its ownership, we have eminent domain laws, etc.
The idea of treating land as a pure asset has had a lot of negative social effects and ultimately will lead to a kind of neo-feudalism where the megarich own everything and the underclasses are perpetual renters.
