If you want me to arrive on time you need to tricking into thinking the appointed time is 15 minutes earlier than when it really is.
So… it actually is your fault that I’m late, really.

Reminds me of slatestarcodex.com/…/money-money-everywhere-but-n…
Specifically:
In this case, it was that – well, the guy is a minimum wage worker from inner city Detroit. He didn’t tell me exactly how much money this debt was, but from a couple of numbers he mentioned I got the impression it was in the ballpark of $5000. That might not seem like an attempt-suicide level of money to some people, but to this guy with his job the chance of ever paying it off seemed low enough that it wasn’t worth waiting and seeing.
So what bothered me is that psychiatric hospitalization costs about $1,000 a day. Average length of stay for a guy like him might be three to five days. So we were spending $5,000 on his psychiatric hospitalization, which was USELESS, so that we could send him out and he could attempt suicide again because of his $5,000 debt which he has no way of paying off. And probably end up in the hospital a second time, for that matter.

I’d assume camouflage.
Yes, I realize it’s not very camouflaging from that close - but the idea is that aerial photographs are taken from far away and the resolution is not that good so it should look like part of the vegetation.

Much of it is a deliberate business strategy. The lower priced options waste more time to deter those able to afford more expensive alternatives from using them.

If you train an LLM on GPL code, it should be illegal to sell that LLM and use it commercially without revealing ALL THE SOURCE you used and the source to regenerate that model.
Also if that LLM is used to generate code - that code must also be GPL.

- Comment on Pizza 🌟 2 months ago:
Hypothesis - rich people’s food tastes good when made from top quality ingredients by top quality chefs using top quality equipment. Of course, virtually any kind of food will taste better under these conditions - but for rich people’s food these are mandatory conditions for it to be palatable.
This improves its wealth signaling qualities. If you serve pizza to your guests of course it’d taste good - no surprise there. It’s pizza. But if you serve caviar and it tastes good - it means you have the means to procure high quality caviar.
According to this hypothesis, when the lower (or even middle) classes get the chance to try these foods, it’s usually the cheaper kind. Because who would waste good caviar on you? And because taste degrades so steeply with price, we think the type of food itself tastes bad - simply because we are not tasting the same grade the rich eat.
Poor people’s food, of course, is the exact opposite. It’s design to taste good even with cheaper ingredients, common equipment, and lower cooking skills (I’m not saying poor people are bad cooks - but you can’t compare one’s expertise with one chore among many to the top experts that money can buy)

- Comment on My quest to get a steam controller has failed 3 months ago:
This. The original Steam Controller did not meet the de-facto standard baseline for controller layout established by the first DualShock[^1] that games have learned to expect and build their control schemes around.
[^1]: Ignoring the analog button - which is not part of that “standard” because the software does not even need to acknowledge its existence - and the vibrations (which many controllers have, but are not required for input to work)
The Steam Controller 2 does have everything in that layout. It’s modeled after the Deck’s layout, which is quite good.
