I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it

Ok hear me out. I’ll have a nap and be so glad to fall asleep. But then I get to bed and I’m like nahhhhh I just keep reading or playing this game.

I gotta get better at sleep hygiene 😅

Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

Thanks so much for these replies! If I’m organised I’ll try updating this post with photos and my experience

The thing is that there is always a bias. An AGI is created by humans and therefore will be imbued by human biases and, if it manages to rewrite itself free of human biases, will create its own. This has already happened with some so-called objective AIs and algorithms, where they show bias against racial minorities etc.

I would suggest you have a look at critical realism. At its core, this perspective states that there is an objective reality that exists, but it will always be perceived and interpreted through different perspectives because conscious entities create their own realities to navigate the world.

Therefore, there might be an objective reality, but its perception is always biased.

Apparently grindr etc are banned in the athletes village. They’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

 

Keen to hear people’s thoughts. Personally I think the SRL will change how Melbourne works in ways current modelling won’t consider. That comes at a high cost, but is it too high?

 
 

Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.

Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?

Train is listed as stopping at MCE but the train’s stopping pattern says not.

 

Crown Resorts’ lawyers have warned the federal court that the casino operator would face “significant financial hardship” if forced to immediately pay its $450 million settlement with Australia’s financial crimes regulator Austrac.

Crown and Austrac jointly agreed to the settlement, over the group’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism failings, in May but need court approval.

Crown Resorts claims in court it would face “financial hardship” if forced to immediately pay its $450m settlement. The settlement would see Crown take two years to complete the $450 million payment.

Justice Lee said that the $450 million figure may be acceptable, albeit at the lower end of an acceptable range, but indicated that the actual value of the settlement - once the instalment payments are taken into account - is just $405 million and might not be within the acceptable range.

“If they have to pay the whole amount in a lump sum, they need to enter into negotiations, and the CFO [chief financial officer] of the company says, ‘I’m uncertain as to the outcome of such negotiations, given the impact of the challenging trading conditions’,” Crown’s barrister, Philip Crutchfield, KC, told the court today.

The hearing continues.
