Miyoo Mini Plus review:

It has four shoulder buttons but they are difficult to use in its form factor, and the one speaker is covered during normal play.

devtesla: i think about your username and doge community but i imagine it's been an increasingly sensitive subject

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(

that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.

if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less

alas

So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.

I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

Can you give an example in a full sentence? (gen)

i'm picturing more of an "facebook and discord are down forever? okay, i don'y need a router"

russia and china and iran all have different examples and degrees of separation from the rest of the internet. the UK is trying to backdoor encryption in a way which will force companies to choose to compromise or leave.

in the US, we have differing censorship laws fracturing the internet across different states, and the legal framework and precedent for banning apps.

we also have undersea cables being cut, which is very new i think (november and december 2024.

i'm imagining what might happen if we have a few "we bombed us-east-1" or "texas is doing ercot but for internet" incidents in the span of a year. but it's not something worth time worrying about yet i think

i AM in a blue state and i am quite happy about that

i wonder what will happen to the internet. i hope people don't throw their routers out once the world wide web isn't

You should try to get your local municipality to try and take over the United States

i liked when helen looked mark in the time and said "it's severancing time"

and mark said "that's the spirit, helly jelly"

I appreciated your recent comment on the issue and would appreciate to hear of your learnings too

awh man

i thought i really found a lifehack

awesome autocorrect behavior with "paperworm"

update: awh man it seems like i can't actually do this without a lot of annoying paperworm

(i don't actually know how to play dnd or rifts)

Depends on the answer to the "potion of healing" question

Do you have a DnD group that's looking for members?

Yeah, that's another issue. I was looking at this as "their business model is to lose money to get people hooked, but if I don't get hooked, I'm just taking money from an evil business."

But that ~$200 loss is subsidized by the people who do get hooked. The fact that they offer $200 in bonus bets means they're expecting to extract at least $200 from every person who takes the bet to break even, which is a mind-boggling amount to spend to gamble.

At least at the site I'm looking at, this doesn't seem to be the case. But yeah, "bet $1000 get $200 in bets" doesn't make it worth it to me. Especially with a sublinear cost function (i.e. $1000 is worth more than half of $2000 for me).

Yay, gambling!

Oh wow, I thought professional gamblers operated mostly in the place where skill and knowledge is useful, like poker or investing. I can't see one making a living on $200 promos.

The TOS, at least in my state, lacks an arbitration clause, which is a huge surprise.

There's something called a rainbow table which is used for hacking. The idea is to save all the password hashes you crack, to reuse later.

Luckily, Postmill salts password hashes. Even in the event of a breach, a rainbow table could not be used on them.

(That said, if your password is weak, it'll still be easy to crack)

there is a button that says "ban forever and ever from every site not just this one" and it is right next to da reply button..........

You're whitelisted :-)

I mean, I think that's the idea right? First step is you put in a tiny fee, you see a big $200 number, and then you're hooked.

By "nonlinear cost function", I mean scenarios where the dollars gained are worth more than those lost, or scenarios with quantifiable factors other than dollars gained and lost.

I've gambled four times in my life under a nonlinear cost function:

• Need 4 Pee: Bladder 'bout to blast, I hid myself away into a Boston Bodega, begging for the bathroom. "For customers only," said the sign, and the cheapest product was a $2 scratch off. I paid, peed, and knew my winnings: One trip to the bathroom. This was nonlinear because I was going to pee.

• Not going to finish that? Years ago, I went to a casino with a friend, and having had never used the machines before, I wanted to try them out. I had $40. The experience was underwhelming, but someone had left cash in the machine and I win on my first bet. I ended up coming out with $100. This was nonlinear because (1) I was paying for the novel experience, and (2) I ended up getting free money.

• Orange lining: This most recent election, I put some money on Trump. The thinking was this would hedge against layoffs a bit, and give me something to look forward to even in the worst case. I didn't put in a lot, maybe I should have? This was nonlinear because I expected dollars to be worth less if Trump won, and also for emotional reasons.

• The 401K account counts too: Putting money into investment account is also gambling. But that employer match and tax incentive makes it nonlinear, even if you believe the economy is just a bubble.

Whoops, thank you! Fixed :)
