I’ve never really liked the anthropomorphic description of chemical bonding, but maybe it’s actually similar to the addition thing. On the one hand, we can say 9 wants to resolve to 10 and takes a 1, and on the other hand we could say there are a bunch of different ways we could rearrange these numbers but the end result is the same as if we resolve 9 to 10 first. Maybe chemical reactions are similar, so there’s a bunch of configurations that could have happened, but the end result is the same as if we had said fluorine wants that last electron

The second method is very chemistry-like. I do that too naturally

The center wall that separates the windows is larger on the inside than the outside. Fun

If that ain’t the name of a New York police chief from the 80s with Polish heritage, I don’t know what is

Looks like they are using a Prio based protocol. If they are using Prio2+, I think this article is likely overblown. EDIT: I mixed up my sources - Mozilla tested Prio for telemetry collection. They are using a system called IPA for ads, and I don’t know whether there are formal guarantees for this system

Does Firefox explain what measures they’ve taken to protect their aggregation servers? If so, this is a perfectly fine and practical method for privacy preservation

What I take from this is that as people age and get more isolated into their niche, they forget the nuance they learned to get there

Spite has basically kept me alive

I don’t usually get back up, I just go somewhere else or do something else where the novelty makes me feel like I haven’t failed yet. Weirdly, I got pretty good at things over time doing this and I fail a lot less

Me too! Theyre creepy commercials!

Lmao! That’s a reasonably priced ticket

Yea I could see that. They’re targeting the people that are scared of society

Great to hear

Ahaha the next year

Wow! I hope you accomplish all you want to! Although, I’d expect every year going forward to be harder than the last tbh. So I hope that your struggle in 2023 brought you resilience for the struggle to come in 2024

My goals are to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year and get my heart in better shape. I gained 30 pounds over Covid and will attempt to lose weight at the same rate I gained it

I think that might be what it means to have an opinion tbh…

Love to see Snow Crash references

I do wonder how many are bots. Most of Twitter is bots anyway
