Isn't that just in the US/Commonwealth judicial system? I could be completely wrong on how others, like non-adversarial judicial systems, work and/or how pervasive the US system is or is not.

EDIT: specifically around the use of judicial precedent in case-law.

Look at all these benighted folks who believe that American judges adhere to precedent when it’s brought to their attention!

Regardless, it’s a lot of code, so maybe better move it out to a pastebin/gist?

I believe it's because the star's brightness does fluctuate, so activity cycle based?

Not stellar activity — a flare wouldn’t be visible on this scale of image. The main concerns are the observatory —- how aligned all the many dozens of optics are — and the earths atmosphere on the nights the target was observed.

Indeed, The Bitter Lesson comes at us quicker and quicker now

How are the elderly, who have full rights as citizens/members of society, and are (as far as the law is concerned) free and accountable for their own actions, more harmed than minors, who are none of that?

> are (as far as the law is concerned) free and accountable for their own actions

I don't think you've ever had a relative with e.g. Alzheimer's or dementia.

There's a fine line where the above stops being the case. "Vulnerable to predatory behaviour" happens a long time before "can't find the bathroom without a nurse."

I do...

... then (at least if they are far enough gone), you have elderly relatives who are not "free and accountable for their own actions."

I find some word processors don't test for vowel sound, and only adhere to the actual vowel letter.

Your argument is hard to follow. It is prohibitively hard, to the point of being unhealthy, to getting admitted to the University of Michigan. Okay, but how does this policy solve for or address that in any way? Wouldn’t the solution be to increase capacity to meet demand, thus relieving those pressures that create the conditions for them to admit young adults that are suffering from health issues that the universities admissions policies itself precipitated?

It gives students one semester of breathing room that allows them to chill out and concentrate on education for the sake of education.

And UMich Ann Arbor is already massive - 8,000 students enroll a year.

But, again, the University of Michigan’s own admissions policies created the need for the students to “chill out”. Is this not treating a symptom of the problem, not the motivator?

Also 32,000 undergrads is not “massive” by any measurement[0], especially when accounting for the population of the state of Michigan, much less the broader United States.

O. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_public_u...

Michigan admissions create opportunities for students that found success within the challenging conditions. Umich treats the problem by educating future policy makers about those systems. Then occasionally yields to powerful lobby groups and clandestine operations of fascist administration.

Not gonna lie, really had me going in the first half there.

This looks very nice and well done. Good job! Okay, I'm going to have a tongue-in-cheek rant now.

OpenChamber, OpenAI, Open WebUI, OpenDoor, Open weights, OpenTable, OpenClaw, Open This, Open That. We're increasingly diluting the meaning of the term, and "open source" more broadly, that we're at the point of OpenFatigue being a real concern here.

>> "OpenFatigue being a real concern here."

OpenConcern.

But at least it's better than Concern.net or iConcern, or even eConcern.

Let's not forget Digital Concern, ConcernCloud. And my least favourite, Concern On BlockChain.

Damnit! If I hadn't already blown $170 locking down `openfatigue.ai` today I would snap that one up too!

OpenSerious about these OpenStuff claiming to be Open but they are openly not. Looking at you OpenAI

Increasingly? It sounds like you've never heard of the Open Group or open architecture. Some of the oldest uses are some of the weakest.

Don‘t forget Open Closed.

Only spending $80 a day on Opus 5/Fable 5/GPT 5.6 Sol feels very low. I'll roll through a couple hundred dollars worth of credits a day with those models, the vast majority of which would be on non-coding tasks, and it's still a huge cost savings over me or my team having to do these things manually, if we'd even be able to do them at all.

But that's also why it's now easy to justify the cost of an Nvidia or Intel inference server with Kimi K3 locked and loaded :)
