I found this useful: https://seeingmachines.com/understanding-advanced-driver-dis...

From that article:

"Like DDAW systems, ADDW systems must function without the use of biometric information, including facial recognition, of any vehicle occupants. It must also operate within a closed-loop system, only recording and retaining data on the device that is necessary for the system to function."

I know this runs on Linux too. As a Linux user, I'm unclear on why I might use this instead of apt or dnf, for example. Any Linux users out there have experience with both Homebrew and one of these?

Maybe I'm wrong, but this seems to strongly undercut Apple's claims about privacy.

I'm a lifelong fan of HP calculators. I have a 15c in front of me right now that I've had since the mid-ish 80s. Still works perfectly.

But the 15c 'Collector's Edition' had some issues, and I wonder about the build quality and reliability of this new one, too. Plus: my guess is you can get an original working 16c on eBay for less than this is going to cost.

Honestly, it pains me to say it but I'd recommend a SwissMicros DM16L instead: https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm16l

It's not a framework, and it requires no diagram. It's just trusting and empowering people to do the job, then getting out of their way. People tend to rise to your level of trust.

I wrote about this, because after a long career I've come to see that most people have no idea what leadership is, or how it works: https://thinkhuman.com/the-leader-ship/

The thing is: it already is the year of the Linux Desktop for me. I don't care about 'OS market share' or how many people use something; I have no control over them.

I also don't care about "OS-maxxing", either--quibbling over 'Wayland', or which OS has the best window manager, arguing about 'gaming', etc.

What I do care about? Freedom and control. Linux gives me that.

So my desktop? It's Linux. The Year of Linux on the Desktop arrived for me years ago. And it can be that year for anyone, anytime. Today.

It's not a science. At best, there are best practices--and some of the best, most famous writing has ignored them. "Writing" is broad, means a lot of things, and defies algorithms.

At first, I thought the saddest part was:

"The nonprofit Common Sense Institute reported student interest and enrollment was low — with just eight students in one class. The report said enrollment is unlikely to grow unless the state mandated students take the classes, which is exactly what Republican lawmakers passed."

But despite the overtly Orwellian effort, the Democrats responded in typical ineffectual, tone-deaf fashion:

"Democratic Sen. Janet Petersen slammed that idea, arguing it will drive up costs for Iowa college students and their families."

Costs. Yeah. That's the problem.

‘Fertility’ is one of those misleading terms that sounds like it means one thing (capability) when it really means another (output).

TL;DR: People aren’t unable to have more children; they’re just choosing not to.

"His [Wozniak's] subsequent ventures, including a stint teaching computer skills to students in the Los Gatos School District, were marked by amiability and good nature, not a will to technological power."

Woz is the kind of nerd I always aspired to be.

Americans will never quite understand what they bargained away for a government and culture based on freewheeling capitalism and a vague notion of ‘freedom’ that seems to absolve everyone of the one thing real freedom requires: responsibility.

I wouldn’t call it a “comeback”. By making some desperate ‘deals’ and the new CEO pulling the company hard to the right, they’ve bought some time to delay the inevitable.

But Intel’s time as anything more than a manufacturing contractor are over.

It seems to not scan for Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, two extensions I rely on. That's...surprising.
