Sorry, this is just not true. Stasi was a government agency, and it was from this kind of thing that European privacy advocacy sprung up.

Very interesting idea! I think I'll try this. Makes a lot of sense and has almost zero cost.

PyPy on numpy heavy code is often a lot slower than CPython

Yes. The C API those libraries use is a good fit to CPython, a bad fit to PyPy. Hence CFFI and HPy. Actually, many if the lessons from HPy are making their way into CPython since their JIT and speedups face the same problems as PyPy. See https://github.com/py-ni

If all glaciers and ice sheets on Earth melted, sea levels would rise roughly 65–70 meters (about 210–230 feet). It’s worth noting that a full melt of Antarctica alone would take many thousands of years even under extreme warming scenarios, so this is more of a thought experiment than a near-term risk. Current projections for this century focus on partial contributions, with estimates ranging from roughly 0.3 to over 1 meter of rise by 2100 depending on emissions pathways.

I don't think this is terrorism, that's not what the word means. It's a clear and open act of war, so in many ways much worse, but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

Murdering million children in Iraq, now attacking school in Iran, 2 million people dead in Ukraine, regime change operations across the world, military and economic interventions across the world.

English is not my first language. If you got a better word other than American terrorists and American terrorism, then suggest me one.

Dead Ukrainians are Russia and only Russia fault.

> but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

It is, because it might impact normal citizens. Nobody has ever invaded US so coensequences of real war are unknown to most.

> Nobody has ever invaded the US

That's not technically true, seeing as how Washington DC was captured and burned in 1814. But it's at least true for modern times.

We’ve just recently been invaded by a fascist coup of white nationalists funded by the Epstein class and are dying a slow death from within tbf.

Similarly, just showing up at the gym/hobby/sport is huge. Even if you do next to nothing.

a stranger i once talked to at the gym told me "every workout is better than the workout you are not doing" and that kinda changed my perspective on that topic.

Yeah I go bouldering even on off days to “stay in the rhythm”. And I do have honestly terrible days where I feel I’m struggling climbs of even a grade below my comfort level, but at least I went lol.

How do you stay injury free climbing every day? I feel like at even twice week I am entering the danger zone with ligamentisis.

I suspect they mean "days that I deal off" rather than "every day". Even elite climbers struggle with ligament issues climbing every single day

Name checks out! Your clarification makes sense on a second read. Thanks

Yeah I definitely meant on days I feel off, and not that I climb every day haha. My body wouldn’t allow me to do daily climbs :)

The best form of exercise is the one you can consistently stick with.

For me, that got shot down in flames over the winter because I kept getting sick. :/

I didn't go to the gym a single day for November and December and it was heart-breaking when I started again in January how much I had set back. But slowly I got back to a good rate again.

A week ago someone asked why I was going to the gym that evening and I said, "Because it will make going tomorrow so much easier."

Start again.

I’m cycled almost ever day for a few years them took a 6 week holiday where we walked 15-20k steps per day. I thought that I’d be ok when I got back on the bike.

I was not ok.

Someone said it, I forget who: 90% of life is just showing up

Especially true for friendship. If you want friends, all you have to do is be in the same place with the same people regularly.

I think I recognize your handle, and I’m not sure we agree on much, but because of your comment I’m seeing a friend I haven’t seen in a decade. I sincerely thank you for the nudge.

I'm glad I could help! Do you mean you recognize my handle from previous interactions on here or in another setting? I haven't used this one anywhere else.

Just here. I’m not a prolific World Wide Web traveler.

I think it was Woody Allen.

I imagine reading a book about habits every day for a year would be life changing. :)

Don't jail criminals because maybe they're young, that's your argument? Sounds like a something that's already part of the sentencing policy, leniency of first time offenders.

I was tipsy when I typed that out, tbh. But yeah, there’s a strong case to be made that jailing youth while simultaneously divesting in their communities causes a pretty significant hollowing out and sense of hopelessness.

The reason I brought up youth is because, unsurprisingly, most violent crime is performed by people who don’t have a fully-formed prefrontal cortex. Feelings of invincibility and a sense of not having much to lose.

oh so you did have a point , why didn't you just say so ! do you have any hard evidence to back you assertion that the majority of recidivism occurs in minors ? coz that would definitely make for a better discussion than calling each other names

The problem is that by specifying this, you have tipped your hand that there is something strange about the plan to walk. I think this is the original problem too: the question implies walking is even an option.

Walking is an option for certain interpretations of the question. Particularly the location of the car, which is ambiguous.

I agree, it's a bit of a trick question. It's really hard to imply the car's location without ruining the test though. Here's my attempt, which Claude Opus 4.6 had no problem with:

Alice drives home after a long day at work, exhausted she pulls into her driveway when she realizes she needs to go to a car inspection appointment. She goes into the house to get her paperwork before she leaves. The mechanic is only 100 meters away. How should she get there, walk or drive?

> She should *drive*, since she needs the car at the mechanic’s for the inspection.

Haiku 3.5 and Sonnet 4.5 fail consistently. Opus 4.5 also passes with the correct analysis as above.

Oh man imagine if NeoVim had been TypeScript. I would've switched then.

neovim does have some support for nodejs plugins through its providers https://neovim.io/doc/user/provider.html#_node.js-integratio...

well the lua setup has enough type checker going on that’s it’s really useful, besides language familiarity i honestly don’t miss much; there’s great docs and autocomplete for the lua stuff built in to the lazynvim distro.
