That’s fine and it is of course security theater / jobs program. I was put off by the feigning of disability to avoid a scanner and/or some inconvenience. This kind of behavior is okay, even great, but please come up with a more tasteful way. Otherwise I hope it’s a parody.

I, too, dislike walking far. Here’s how I faked my way into a handicap parking tag.

I thought the same thing but noticed my dark mode extension changed the dark gray font into light gray. It looks fine to me with that extension turned off. Not sure if that happened to you.

My first thought was Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) to do this in Emacs via R, but I bet there are many alternatives.

The smartest thing to do would be to check your car’s windows for any indication (the AAA report, page 19, cited in the article has examples) of whether they’re laminated or tempered. AFAICT, whether my new-ish Subaru Ascent’s windows are laminated depends on location (front or rear) and installation differs between the Ascent trims. Best to check for your specific car and where you’re likeliest to be sitting.

Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you had (or are having) a good day. Or if it wasn’t good—stressful, tiring, etc.—here’s to hoping for some great sleep.

I don’t remember kids being out of school for so long around Thanksgiving when I was younger. All I can hope for is eight hours of sleep after a full week of childcare. I guess I’m most thankful for teachers and schools being open.

Blackrock and Vanguard own surprisingly large portions of Rheinmetall, Siemens, Airbus, SAP and other German government/defense/security contractors. If avoiding their investments is the goal, there’s a lot of work to do.

Could estimate ~1% (+/- 1%) given the Graphene user estimates [1] and the tens of millions of Pixels sold at this point.

As someone who has worked on bubbles from a bioengineering/synthetic biology perspective, it is definitely play at some level. Like “what happens if we freeze dry them?” And of course determining which extremely specific kind works best for whatever application, etc.

I don’t doubt that some Americans are deported each year from South Korea but I was unable to find any examples in the news other than this one in 2017. I wonder how regular it really is, or maybe it doesn’t get reported by any news source?

I wonder how much of this is brand name? Like Kleenex. Non-tech people might not search for LLM, generative AI, etc. ChatGPT may just be what people have heard of. I’m assuming OpenAI has a large advantage over Anthropic, and the name helps, but I bet the name is exaggerating the difference here a bit. Not everyone buys Kleenex branded Kleenex.
