That’s what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I’m assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.

Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn’t really possible with your typical school restroom.

Yup. Toyota Yaris '15 stock. Lowest trim they offer.

My car is a 2015 and didn’t come with a cruise control lol :(.

To be fair, I can drive at and maintain a consistent speed without it, though I didn’t have to often thanks to stop and go traffic 🎉.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

The article that user links is referring to GrapheneOS (and other OSS software) as not being “free software” - and they (GNU) delves into it more here.

Basically, GNU is saying software shouldn’t claim to be free and open source if they contain non free binaries / other non-free blobs.

The nuances between FOSS and OSS can be confusing. GrapheneOS is not claiming to be FOSS.

When it comes to commits, single feature / scoped commits are quality. So this git history is actually underwhelming if the author is full time. This is a good read.

I’ve been told they’re a projection put in the sky by God to test our faith lol.

Or just skip it entirely, I use the Consent-O-Matic extension which has a surprising amount of features.

When I was young, around 10, I was bored. We had one shitty desktop and no internet 99% of the time (we had dial up but only 1 landline, and my mom used the phone alot). We were also homeschooled, and the software teaching us was on that computer. I found the software documentation which was in HTML, and used that to make my own “website”.

Even before then though I had a draw to tinkering with computers. After a bit I convinced my mom to get me intro to C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup, and messed with that for a good year or so. Then we upgraded to DSL when I was around 13 and I got into Roblox and learned Lua, then other languages.

For me personally I don’t have much control over my empathy. Sure I can look at someone and glean their emotional state based on conscious guessing, but my “affective empathy” as you put it, is more my brain subconsciously picking up on their emotional state and then sharing it.

For most emotions, including anger, it’s not targeted. Not until I actively participate in the emotion. It’s also not something that applies to everyone and every situation, with my own personal emotions easily overriding the empathetic emotions.

Of course, everyone experiences empathy their own way.

I saw a few others, but the ones I looked at were basically instruct layers where you’d need to add your own parser. I didn’t find anything (in my 3 minutes of searching) that offers an openai chat completions endpoint, which is probably the main stopper.

I believe that’s because those two APIs support function calling, open source support is still coming along.

I’ve had to carrier unlock two devices from T-Mobile. You’ve already returned it, but if anyone else faces a similar situation: for whatever godforsaken reason, DMing them on Twitter is the way that has always worked for me. There is back and forth, but usually they set you right.

Just download it from a third party and compare the checksum with the official information. Granted, the official checksums on their website are behind a few steps, but you already tried on public Wi-Fi - once you generate the link a “Verify your Download” section should appear.

Tofu is just soy specially prepared, and soy, like many ground crops, grows in soil. Soil/dirt in general can contain trace amounts of metals, one such being lead. Could also be specific to the preparation method, I just remember learning that ground crops generally contain some good and harmful minerals due to, well, dirt.

Growing up my parents had a Jesus on the cross statue carved out of coal. Does that count?

I work two jobs and have no days off but Friday is the start of not having to drive the next morning so yeah, in a way.

When I first came across that wisdom I realized my desire in a relationship was to just pour myself into the other person, basically worship them. But not for their benefit, but to distract myself from myself. It’s fairly easy to see how that goes wrong.

I’m still learning, and I’ve found even more stuff I need to work on, but either I get there or I don’t, what matters if I never stopped trying.

I found that same nugget just under a decade ago. Dropped off the dating scene to work on myself. It really made me reflect. I’m still working on myself and honestly I suspect I will be for a while to come.
