I have a system for electronics projects where a new project gets a labeled container to store extra parts, papers, spare PCBs, weird cables I might need later...

It works pretty well, especially when I want to take a project to a meetup.

Unfortunately, I also have a bin labeled "Projects".

Same. I've got a couple of folders in my ~/Documents titled "Other".

Also, if you have projects with lots of parts, and you've got a 3D printer: have you discovered Gridfinity? (or others like Multibuild?) For the uninitiated, these are wall/drawer 42mm grids, in which you place bins that are multiples of 42. So you get perfectly-sized Tetris-like drawers and walls.

And this was just about how to decide an auto accident case. With the experiment varying the circumstances.

My summary is still: seasoned judges disagree with LLM output 50% of the time.

Oddly enough, Texas passed reform to keep sexting teens from getting prosecuted when: they are both under 18 and less than two years difference in age. It was regarded as a model for other states. It's the only positive thing I have heard of Texas legislating wrt sexuality.

Lawmakers have teenagers in their own families, apparently. Not just someone else's problem.

My bet is that lawmakers have oppressed teens. They won't dare create a problem.

> It was regarded as a model for other states.

Really? That "model" has the common, but obviously extremely undesirable, feature of criminalizing sexual relationships between students in the same grade that were legal when they formed. How could it be regarded as a model for anyone else?

You might have misread it. Texas' model is decriminalizing teens sexting, not criminalizing it

I think they refer to the fact that, exposed as GP did, looks like there is a loophole if 2 teenagers started their relationship at 17 and 15, and once they become 18 and 16, sexting is suddenly illegal.

Huge IANAL disclaimer, but I don't think it is. It is decriminalizing some of the edge cases where reasonable, and missing the one you mention. That one isn't criminal where it wasn't previously, just unchanged, AFAICT.

I'm not claiming that the text at issue changes whether sexting in that relationship is criminalized, just that it is criminalized,† which should disqualify the law as a piece of model legislation.

It's true in a technical sense that where sexting is legal anyway, the "model" text wouldn't make it illegal, but that isn't an interesting observation, because where sexting is legal anyway, the text has no effects at all.

† Here's a citation from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/criminalize:

Many freedoms Americans take for granted -- like education, art, association, speech -- are criminalized or tightly controlled in Iran.

I suggest to you that making a change in the legal status of something is not a necessary part of the meaning of criminalize.

Read about Texas.

It's a crime to leave the state to get an abortion. They can prosecute when you return home.

There have been vigilante patrols in West Texas, watching the necessary routes out of the state. The law gives any resident the grounds to turn in their neighbor for planning to get an abortion.

iOS also flickers every time I exit an app back to the Home Screen.

Weird green tints for no reason.. bubbles that take so long to inflate, you think your tap was dropped. Round edges that no longer fit the text content. Stupid ellipses at the edges of wrapped text. And all the functions that now take two taps when one used to do it. Text rendered on top of text for crying out loud! Whole view panes clobberin* each other. WebKit is a mess of wasted black bars where menus were hidden. Multiple flashes of white and black between content changes. It hits Apple apps as well as trashing third party layout.

Too many defects to list.

And…who hasn’t done offensive things, before learning that what they’re doing is bad? It’s a matter of developing self control and awareness.

Certainly. But you're missing the point. Feynman chose to tell the stories to Ralph Leighton who then recorded them in the "Surely" book which was published in 1985, well after Feynman's own perspective seems to have changed about the more offensive things he'd said.

By many other accounts he was a kind, caring, thoughtful person, but some of the selected stories in "Surely" paint a significantly different picture. To me it's unclear, not having studied the life of Richard Feynman, what parts are exaggerated. But it does seem clear that these stories were refined and selected for inclusion, and were therefore considered endearing or representative for the intention of the book. And in the time and culture in which it was published that seems like a bit of a miss at the very least.

Not the same silicon. Wafer fabs make pure crystals. Photovoltaics use polysilicon.

Obviously you mean purified silicon, but, remember silicon is what the Earth has in abundance (yeah I know it’s energy intensive, and there exist such profession as sand prospector.)

How about economically viable fission power, right now.

That's the thing, can't be done

France, Sweden and Ontario exist.

It literally has been done.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Building out nuclear requires political will and deregulation which today is not attainable in the west. China is the only one actually building reactors, but that isn't enough.
