This was a joke. I thought "Shoulder-mounted high-intensity LEDs" establishing a personal daytime might give it away. Then again, sometimes I don't read past the first sentence or two either.
Pro-tip: Don't eat any Irish children, 'k?
I don't think we've adequately explored the possibilities of individual time zones. Each of us carries a pocket computer, which can be tuned to whatever zone we wish to be ours. Shoulder-mounted high intensity LEDs could allow us to establish a personal zone of daylight around us at a time of our own choosing. Biphasic sleep? No problem! And of course VR goggles with a good light seal could ensure personal night as well, with the added bonus of a great view of the Milky Way even in the most light-polluted of cities.
I suppose the goggles would have to be peril-sensitive as well, given possible objections of any nearby luddites to my light cannons at 03:00.
Rolling this around in my head a bit -- what's the difference between this and calculating that a given customer will put up with a smaller serving of fries, or a burger with the lettuce 'accidentally' left out. Or one of the 'grade b' patties? Diminishing the quality of the meal, or the size, based on what a customer would tolerate, according to an algorithm? Or how long they'd wait before their meal's brought out? Dynamic quality. Dynamic service.
FWIW, I think Amazon is A/B testing me this way. I've cancelled late orders, and the next one has arrived pronto, without Prime.
'k, but how 'bout txt comp? Just for the web, course. Qnty over qlty, 'k?
but perhaps I'm a bit jaded?

“If you knock out nine total substations among those three grids, you can black out the entire United States.” According to Wellinghoff, which nine substations were taken offline didn’t matter as long as each one was among the 10 most important in its region, and you could black out the three interconnections individually as well: “I mean, it’s not like there are particular substations. You just have to figure out what are the top 10 critical ones in each of those interconnects. Which, to do that, it’s probably something that a bunch of 12-year-olds with the internet could do pretty easily. All you have to do is look at a map of the grid and figure out where most of the wires go into the substations — that’s a critical substation.”
Sadly, I suspect the thinking is "Hey, we nabbed this rare book to use for training
My understanding is that the system in question is a statistical 'choice of synonym' algorithm. I'm a little surprised we're not hearing about synonym randomization using local llm's to 'wash away' watermarks like this and

The student is enlightened. Very elegant; a bit like old-style thermostats.
We're all, here, aware of the right way to do backup stuff, but we're an unusual group (some of us hear likely that a lot
I've been thinking lately about the complexity I'm faced with day-to-day. Dealing with a 401k, e.g. Totally trusting the advice of experts? Mostly. Diversify, low cost index funds, etc. And then doing some weird shit where I decide to put 10% of it in whatever pundit I heard last suggested. If I went to 'finance slashdot', whatever the hell that might be, they'd be saying the same thing about me. Used to work on my own car; now I don't know what half that stuff under the hood even *is* (where's my carburetor??). So I take my car to a local guy who seems good. Not entirely clear on how that little switch works to pop up my toast, but seems to be working ok for now.
It's so crazy easy to chastise the stupid people who don't know what I *do* know
You're special
If you do something right once, someone will ask you to do it again.
