Alice in Chains for me. I developed my taste for music in the 90s and love the grunge and punk from that era, but just not AIC. I can't explain way exactly, just drives me batty.

+1 but I don't see that as a guilty displeasure to be honest. I also formed most of my musical taste in the 90s and to this day Dirt, Sap and Jar of Flies sound just as good as they did back in the day.

It was Deftones for me.

I was obsessed with a handful of Deftones songs back in the day. But outside those, I just couldn't get into them wholesale. I think they just weren't heavy enough for me. Now I'm old, and one of my mates is a huge Alice in Chains fan, and he showed me their ropes (I didn't know much prior). I'm very into them now. It's the same with a lot of bands that were before my time. My dad loves Dire Straights, and I thought they were OK when I was younger. I appreciate them at a different level now.

Not sure what my point is.

I love Deftones and Alive in Chains. both quintessential bands of my teen years

For me it's Soundgarden. All I can hear are songs that are almost brilliant but then they seemed to deliberately ruin them.

This is a cool idea and sounds like a fun project. That said, I imagine you could accomplish roughly the same thing with an invite only Wireguard network, with the benefit of not being geo-locked.

I just started reading the Earthsea series to my kids last night, what a coincidence to see this here! I discovered Le Guin relatively late in life and I'm so glad I did.

I've heard some teachers are assigning their students to 'grade' a paper written by LLM. The students use an LLM to generate a paper on the topic, print it out, then notate in the margins by hand where it's right and wrong, including checking the sources.

Yeah this seems like an easy way around it. Post the video with subtitles and no audio, and a link to the original video hosted on a PeerTube instance or something.

Isn't the only way to learn what things we can ignore and what things we can't ignore to do a lot more testing? Is there a better way to learn that? It seems like having a lot more data from tests is the kind of thing that would have some short term harm but massive long term benefits.

This is a major cultural difference between US and EU. In the U.S., data is only Personal if it's on a Personal device.

I can definitely see how someone who sacrificed to pay rent throughout the pandemic, maybe using up some of their retirement funds or defaulting on car loans in the process, would be frustrated to learn now that they could have just not paid rent instead and been fine. They're not getting that money back. It doesn't necessarily mean that they want to see people become homeless.

(I don't have a dog in this fight, I don't live in California, don't rent, don't own rental property.)

> They're not getting that money back. It doesn't necessarily mean that they want to see people become homeless.

That sounds like a pretty privileged take on their parts. If they were wealthy enough to survive a global pandemic that upended the global economy without anyone's help, that speaks pretty well for them. But not everyone was so fortunate, and that's what this program addresses.

I see no cause for resentment here, anymore than I see cause for resentment against poor people on Medicaid while the more-fortunate pay for health insurance. Like, sure -- we could do something "radical" (by US standards) and make Medicaid available to everyone, but if the choice is between having health insurance only for those who can afford it (and sucks to be you if you can't), and having a Medicaid tax to pay for health coverage for those who can't afford insurance, I'd much rather take the latter.

Another fun thing you can do with flies, and also bees and wasps, apart from vacuuming them up, is put them on a leash. But first you have to freeze them.

Catch one in a cup or plastic bag and stick it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. When you take it out it will look dead, but it's not (unless you leave it in too long.) Being careful not to rip it's wings off, tie a small string or fishing line to one of it's legs.

In a few minutes it will thaw and start to walk around, and then start to fly. You can now walk it around the park like you were carrying a balloon.

Where would you say it falls on the spectrum of animal abuse in relation to going fishing, fly swatting, and walking the dog? Those are all activities I'm personally ok with.

*insect abuse

I think repeatidly slapping them with a pretty soft plastic attraption until they stop moving is even harsher though.

Or slapping them outta the air, trying to electrocute them but having too little power on the shitty device so only their wings get burned.

Or vacuuming them up

Or flushing them down the drain.

Honestly, whatever people usually do to them it's way way crueller

> I think repeatedly slapping them with a pretty soft plastic contraption until they stop moving is even harsher

It's soft to you, not to the fly. You don't slap a fly "until it stops moving". When you swat a fly, it explodes.

Not the big ones. The first slap stuns them at best, sometimes not even that.

> Exactly. 5G doesn't focus on increasing coverage but mostly latency.

This is my opinion as well - 5G will improve latency and also capacity (meaning carriers won't have to be as stingy with tethering plans) but not necessarily top speeds or coverage area.
