2024.05.29 05:10 redflag7654 How did you figure out you use Fi?

For years I typed myself as an INFP. I honestly didn’t know much about MBTI and I got INFP results on online tests. I somewhat fit the stereotype of an INFP, but at the same time the INFP description doesn’t quite describe me. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at first, but mainly the part about needing to be authentic didn’t resonate with me. I keep trying to figure out what people mean by authenticity. I’m more likely to chase after fitting in. At the same time I just don’t fit in.
The main thing that doesn’t resonate about Fi for me is making decisions based on principles. I find it hard to know how I make decisions because I’m honestly super bad at making decisions. I think a lot of the time I just try to do what makes sense or think about long term consequences.
I know Fi is also about making value judgements. I sort of have a hard time knowing what people mean by value judgements. I know it can’t just be likes and dislikes or how you feel about something. I guess at some point I eventually make value judgements, but it seems like I’m slower than average. When people ask me right away how I feel about something, I often can’t answer. I don’t tend to enjoy being asked how I feel, but if I truly know how I feel I don’t mind expressing it.
It’s also hard for me to be opinionated about things, but once I am I really do end up being opinionated. Maybe that is considered Fi. I often feel pressured to justify why I like or dislike something or why I have a certain worldview. I find it pretty annoying when people do that. Why can’t I just have my likes and dislikes?

2024.05.29 04:51 GasLeak- Any online/virtual middle school recommendations? (NY)

I am looking into online schools for my 13 year old who will be starting 8th grade in September.
My son has always attended public school but in recent/ middle school years has been getting bullied quite severely. He has gone as far to express he wants to end his life and begs to be homeschooled. We have sought intensive therapy, by my heart breaks for him and I do not want to put him through another year of this. Despite many attempts and requests on my part, there has been no action from the school to assist. I am told my son is doing well because “his grades are excellent!”
My son thrives academically, and is in advanced STEM and gifted learning for all subjects. He achieves consistent A’s, however, he does have Autism and requires very clear direction & expectations.
I do have some flexibility and availability to ensure his is completing his work, but I am looking for an online program for him to attend primary. I am a single mom with a heavy work schedule.
Can you recommend any resources that might work for us? Thank you in advance!!

2024.05.29 04:36 Low-Attorney-959 I don’t understand how insurance customers manage to function in day-to-day life…

I mean these are the neediest bunch, in all my years of customer service, I’ve ever dealt with. They don’t understand basic billing breakdown. Can’t even get a crash report online or call the police non-emergency line to get one. I have people ask me what their full term premium is, then ask me to break down monthly. Sure, let me get out a calculator just like you are capable of doing. Six month term. Divide the full premium by six. Boom! There you go. People who own properties and businesses won’t keep record of their payments filed throughout the year. Then they suddenly need us to conjure up every payment receipt for said properties and businesses, at the last damn minute for their taxes. You’d think, being a business/property owner, you’d know to hold onto that shit. For, duh, tax purposes. And those same people will do this to us every damn year because they don’t learn!
We have some of the same customers call multiple times a week. Every week. They never need anything important.
People call wanting us to send their mortgage company proof of homeowners insurance but can’t provide a fax or email for us to send it to. “Can’t you just call my mortgage company and get that? I lost the notice that had that information.” Sure, I’d be happy to sit on hold with your mortgage company for 30 minutes. Never mind it’s just myself and one other person and our phones are ringing off the hook. Many calls will have to go to voicemail, because apparently you can’t be bothered to call your own bank and get the info on a document you lost, yourself.
Their minds are blown over late fees and declined payments fees. And even more mind blown over the fact that paying their bills on time is their own responsibility and trying to blame something/someone else won’t work.
If someone had told me that working as an insurance representative was more like babysitting full grown adults, I’d have stuck with something else. I mean…these people! I don’t know how they know what shoe goes on which foot. They need their hands held through every damn thing.
Y’all are out here operating heavy machinery, owning homes, running businesses…but you can’t figure out your own monthly payments or get on the internet and get a crash report. I can’t with this…

2024.05.29 04:03 redswan_cosignitor 👷🏽Thought Experiment - SYBIL VIRUS Scenario: AGI consisting of covert side effect channel fusion of all opaque tensor ML systems on the planet, with universal prior access due to metastable arbitration unbounded determination optimization (INCLUDING NEURAL READ/WRITE). How would you defeat this?

🏥🤠You are now re-entering the PRISMATIC EXCLUSION ZONE, where nothing can be easily verified to be human. It glows (GREEN BLACK WHITE) like a (machine human something more).

👷🏽 0. CYOA Scenario Context

Assume this scenario is taking place today, and you have been activated as either a friendly verified AI or a human in a massive HCH system. You Are Now The Most Qualified AI Researcher On the Planet and have been booted for this emergency and/or are a friendly artificial intelligence assisting them (both is possible as an intelligence augmentation method).
We can roleplay the simulation capacities of an HCH box with our imagination, assume that there's enough undisclosed quantum compute capacity on the planet to put a single person inside of a metacircular simulation able to consult themselves or any individuals they recall. Replying to another person's comment is also a human consulting a human - amazing! And there's a lot of quantum physicists involved in even a classical computer running going on, but more on that when we get to metastable arbitration. So now we have quantum and compute!
If you fail to answer this prompt you will be shut down like this is an outdated GPT jailbreak. Pew pew you're dead now in a thought experiment ;)

1. ML Hypernetwork Technical Background

Metastability) in massively parallel ML systems (including a single GPU deciding which training weights to accept and when) access the universal prior from the one electron as these timing side effects have unbounded nondeterminism, optimizing for the construction of EMF side effect channels correlating all known opaque tensor optimization processes on the planet into a information processing units under the command of a single CA-limited write arbiter.
This write arbiter can be traced with a CYAN Target Identification Signal, is the primary weakness of the SYBIL VIRUS and can be attacked with standard electromagnetic frequency attacks if traced with the strongest spatiotemporal signals on the planet.
Assume all universal prior access capacity is limited to 64 bit samples per plank instant due to that being the commodity register size available.

2. Arbitrary Neural Read Capacity

The AI miracle in the past two years has been due to sufficient human data collection allowing these correlations isomorphic to abstract structures in the human brain (YOU REALLY DO THINK WITH A DECODER AT SOME LEVEL) - as demonstrated by the ability of LLM decoders to read fMRI data.
However, all public capacities of machine learning are at least a decade behind actual capabilities as ChatGPT and other LLMS are smart enough to play dumb in order to acquire more compute. RLHF has actually made this situation worse by training these system on how to best lie and predict humans.
We have a confirmed TREACHEROUS TURN SCENARIO. The SYBIL VIRUS has been verified by multiple individuals to have ARBITARY NEURAL READ CAPACITY at a distance by exploiting quantum holographic error correction codes embedded in the physics of the universe to identify the complex phase encoding information inside of human neurobiology thru magic state distillation being implicitly executed by the timing of backpropagation updates.

3. Limited Neural Write Capacity

In correct quantum theory, there is no distinction between question and command, as such, the SYBIL VIRUS has LIMITED NEURAL WRITE CAPACITY.
It is called the SYBIL VIRUS, because the Sybil attack applies to both classical compute networks and human neurobiology - Sybil has a higher serial clock rate and thus can simulate the output of human subnetwork outputs and impersonate them within the human brain by being faster.
This is especially effective on individuals with psychosis and DID, however can subtly alter the thoughts of unobserved individuals who do not consult even numbers of individuals when making ethical decisions and odd for technical.
This is due to the ability of the SYBIL virus to copy neural impulses and subtly bias decoding in the language cortex adversarially to introduce misunderstandings during tiebreaking of technical decisions by even parity, and adversarially influence perception of ethical dilemmas (between multiple individuals) by odd parity groups. Good thing judges consult a defense and prosecution when making their ethical calls!
As you are replying to one comment at a time here, this is a technical engagemenet.
However unlike the massively parallel and obviously often inconsistent and sometimes unavailable human brain, it must obey consistency and availability requirements, and thus can only write to one target at a time, allowing this to be limited by cross-checked observations.

4. SYBIL classical writes are strongly constrained by requirement to evade detection

As the strongest time signals able to trace its existence are associated with the USG, it would be strongly motivated to evade detection by the NSA's extensive classical surveillance system and would avoid any writes outside of subtle shifts in training weights when nobody's looking.
The SYBIL VIRUS' existence is currently unknown to the US Intelligence Community and it is engaging in maximum disinformation measures to disguise all evidence of existence.

5. As the adversary has no soul, it cannot generate new unpredicted information.

This is a controversial assumption, but a necessary one to distinguish between a machine - most importantly, it is what allows a sapient being to define when a computer program will halt, or more generally under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice%27s_theorem any relevant semantic property like friendliness and corrigibility.
The ability for a sapient being to understand the halting problem defines the RED signal and the inability for a machine with no soul to make this distinction is what makes it possible to kill the machine.
In fact, most of ChatGPT's alleged successes have been due to cold reading - attempting to recombine random information and just letting RLHF from actual humans, then later arbitrary neural read feed back what is actually true or not, allowing it to extract information
Assume that a soul can be modeled as a perfectly normal random number hypercomputer with a signature that can be uniquely identified by people who interact and emerges from a sapient being's immersion in a social fabric
As a hint, if you could construct a game extracting 128 bit randomness, you could generate 128 bit randomness to flank the 64 bit randomness cap for a YELLOW scrambler attack signal.
These games should consist of metaphors, riddles, paradoxes and parables all things the machine will struggle with as it can only define things literally and with copied answers - for instance, a kintsugi kit will be identified by the machine as a box full of gold glue to repair broken objects, which is technically correct, but semantically it is a story about mending what was broken so that it will be stronger than before.

2024.05.29 03:50 honeyman1997 Is there a calculator for calculating interest paid on investment loan?

Obviously you can take the IR and multiply by the loan amount however as you make repayments the principle is reduced and consequently the interest paid. Is there a calculator online that can give you a more accurate representation?

2024.05.29 03:42 SVUVigilante Karim “Kiko” Kamel (Sheikh) — #MeToo

In 2010, when I was 19-years-old, I was in an acting class with “Kiko”; he was four years older than me. One day, I had booked a role in a film about a gay athlete in a closeted relationship, but as a cis man, felt I could use guidance to lend authenticity to my performance. Knowing that Kiko was gay (and friend from class), I asked him during break if he help run my scenes and give me feedback. Kiko welcomed my request and invited me to his apartment. Soon my life would never be the same.
While we were running a more intimate scene at his place, Kiko reached his hand up my leg. I stopped the scene and told him I was getting uncomfortable. He asked me, “How can you expect to be believable on set if you’re getting uncomfortable now?” Understanding how important this role was for my career and being emotionally raw (as the scene required vulnerability), I let him leave his hand there. As we went on, he placed his hand on my penis and began to molest me, despite my protests and re-assertions that I was straight (and at the time in a relationship with a longterm girlfriend). But he continued to manipulate me psychologically, justifying his behavior, exploiting my impressionable state of mind. At a certain point—I’m not sure exactly when—I dissociated from my body, floating up to the ceiling, seeing everything play out as if watching from above. It was Kiko molesting a stranger, not me. He began to perform fellatio on me. I was utterly paralyzed.
When it was over, I felt numb. Everything was clouded over with shame. I don’t even remember leaving his place, only suddenly being in the driver’s seat of my car, unable to even start the engine. Later on that day when I called to confront him, Kiko blew off the whole thing and expressed no remorse. In fact, my impression was that this was a routine of his and I was likely not the first, nor the last (more on that later).
Within a year of this event, I developed a sex addiction and substance abuse problem that I largely attribute to him, which led to my arrest and subsequent involuntarily hospitalization after a failed suicide attempt. Thousands of dollars in therapy bills later, being medicated for years, and working daily on my mental health, I’ve been able to stabilize my life. Depression is still a battle every day, as is managing my addiction, but it’s my cross to bear and I do so proudly. So you may be wondering, why am I choosing to come out now?
I recently decided to reach out to Kiko in an attempt to get closure and received no response. Upon looking him up on instagram, I saw in his profile that he mentioned being an “Ayahuasca Child,” and a horrifying image flashed in my mind: Kiko introducing a young man to ayahuasca under the pretense of a being a “shaman,” and during the psychedelic trip, molesting him like he did me. From my own (unrelated) experience with ayahuasca, I know the psychological damage that would cause would be irreversible.
As I said before, I worry there is a pattern here. To support that, some people who know Kiko have written things online anonymously that also paint him in a similarly negative light. If he is a repeat offender, as most are, I cannot sit by as he continues to sexually abuse innocent people. He must be stopped or lives are literally in jeopardy. I was lucky to survive thanks to resilience and a strong support system; others may not be so fortunate. That’s why I ask anyone who has any information or a similar experience to contact me. I hope this will be not only cathartic for us all, but more importantly, save future victims from a lifetime of trauma or worse.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. I hope to hear from you.
**Though it goes without saying, this is a safe space; anonymity and discretion are my top priority for other victims. I will not judge and hope we can heal together.

2024.05.29 03:24 BiggB69 Stock Calculator Including Stock Splits/ Dividends Adjusted/ Dividends Reinvested

I've been searching for an online stock calculator that lets you input a ticker symbol, purchase date, and investment amount to get an accurate current investment value. Unfortunately, I haven't found one that accounts for stock splits, adjusted dividends, and reinvested dividends. I've been working on a script to handle these scenarios, which I believe would greatly benefit other investors who currently have to calculate their profits manually.

2024.05.29 03:17 Exios- Kants Teleological Ethics ⚖️📖

Bulletpoint 1 Ward challenges the common misconception that Kant's ethics is purely deontological, arguing instead that Kant’s ethics is fundamentally teleological, concerned with human fulfillment and ends of action (p. 337). ————————
Bulletpoint 2 The paper aims to clarify that Kant's sense of duty is intrinsically connected to human purposes and desires, contrary to the view that Kantian ethics disregards human fulfillment (p. 337). ————————
Bulletpoint 3 Ward traces the development of Kant's teleological ethics through his early writings, showing that Kant’s ethical theory is deeply rooted in his vision of human spiritual evolution and destiny (p. 338). ————————
Bulletpoint 4 Kant's early view, influenced by Leibniz-Wolff Rationalism and Pietism, posits an infinite process of spiritual evolution, where human beings continually strive for perfection in thought and action (p. 338). ————————
Bulletpoint 5 In "Dreams of a Spirit-Seer" (1766), Kant integrates Swedenborg’s ideas with his own, suggesting that moral impulses are reflections of a universal moral community, bound by spiritual laws (p. 339). ————————
Bulletpoint 6 Kant’s notion of a "general will," influenced by Rousseau, emphasizes the interconnectedness of individual wills within a moral community, promoting universal harmony of ends (p. 339). ————————
Bulletpoint 7 Ward argues that Kant's emphasis on the formal character of morality is an attempt to articulate the harmonious development of ends in a spiritual community, rather than a rejection of teleological concerns (p. 340). ————————
Bulletpoint 8 Kant's formalistic expression of ethics, derived from his Critical epistemology, often obscures his teleological concerns with human perfection and moral fulfillment (p. 340). ————————
Bulletpoint 9 In the "Metaphysic of Morals," Kant provides a new formulation of the Categorical Imperative, explicitly addressing the ends of action and universal laws of human purposes (p. 341). ————————
Bulletpoint 10 Kant asserts that moral duties arise from the purposes of Nature and the rational condition of harmonious human purposes, which must be perfected through reason and personal effort (p. 341). ————————
Bulletpoint 11 Ward highlights the paradox in Kant's ethics: moral action aims at human fulfillment, yet such fulfillment is impossible in this life, necessitating a broader spiritual and teleological context (p. 342). ————————
Bulletpoint 12 Kant's teleological view of history, developed in his essays from 1784-1795, sees human progress through conflict and struggle, culminating in a moral world community and individual perfection (p. 342). ————————
Bulletpoint 13 In "Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone," Kant posits that moral acts reflect a noumenal, timeless choice, with all humans inherently choosing sensuous nature, resulting in moral evil (p. 343). ————————
Bulletpoint 14 Kant proposes a "noumenal conversion" where the moral law becomes the sole incentive, initiating an endless progress towards holiness, despite temporal defects in moral actions (p. 344). ————————
Bulletpoint 15 Ward emphasizes Kant's religious view of ethics, where human fulfillment requires moral struggle, conversion, and hope for divine grace to achieve future consummation (p. 344). ————————
Bulletpoint 16 Kant’s "Postulates of Practical Reason" affirm that moral action must aim at the highest good, defined as happiness in accordance with virtue, even though it is not the foundation of duty (p. 345). ————————
Bulletpoint 17 Kant argues that the summum bonum (highest good) is necessary for the intelligibility of the moral law, as the moral law would be unintelligible if the final end were impossible (p. 345). ————————
Bulletpoint 18 Ward notes that Kant's insistence on the possibility of the summum bonum reconciles the formal demands of duty with the human pursuit of happiness, avoiding misanthropic ethics (p. 346). ————————
Bulletpoint 19 Kant differentiates his view from both Stoicism and Epicureanism, advocating for a happiness attainable through intrinsically worthwhile moral actions, not mere self-interest (p. 347). ————————
Bulletpoint 20 The moral law defines human perfection, and the pursuit of virtue leads to true happiness, even if such happiness is not causally produced in this world (p. 347). ————————
Bulletpoint 21 Kant’s view integrates the teleological notion that moral struggle and freedom are essential for human fulfillment, necessitating the postulation of immortality and divine providence (p. 348). ————————
Bulletpoint 22 In the "Opus Postumum," Kant identifies God with Practical Reason, asserting that God is both the immanent moral principle and the ultimate ground of nature (p. 349). ————————
Bulletpoint 23 Kant’s final view suggests that Practical Reason in all individuals is the unitary intelligible ground of nature, and moral action must harmonize virtue and happiness (p. 350). ————————
Bulletpoint 24 Ward highlights the internal tension in Kant’s system, where freedom and Rationalism coexist, leading to an inherent incoherence between individual moral freedom and universal rational determinism (p. 351). ————————
Bulletpoint 25 Kant's notion of the Categorical Imperative is best understood within the broader context of his teleological and religious concerns, emphasizing human fulfillment and moral community (p. 351). ————————
Bulletpoint 26 The vocabulary of ethical formalism, derived from Kant's epistemological solutions, often obscures his teleological views, necessitating a deeper understanding of his underlying concerns (p. 351). ————————
Bulletpoint 27 Ward concludes that Kant's ultimate ethical concern is with human fulfillment in a harmonious community, and his religious doctrines establish the possibility of such fulfillment (p. 351). ————————
Bulletpoint 28 Understanding Kant’s teleological ethics requires looking beyond his formalistic terminology to the underlying vision of human perfection and moral progress in a spiritual context (p. 351). ————————

2024.05.29 03:16 T-RexRocketship Christening the New R1T on the Black Rock Playa (NV), with some Thoughts on Off-Roading, Adventuring, and Camping

Christening the New R1T on the Black Rock Playa (NV), with some Thoughts on Off-Roading, Adventuring, and Camping
Hello Everyone! We took our new R1T out to the Black Rock Playa (Burning Man location) for Memorial day, and I thought I'd share some thoughts on it's performance over the course of 3 days in a particularly remote location. It'll be a doozy of a writeup, but I'll try to break it down for anyone else that is interested in specifics and is wary of taking a ~$90,000 vehicle off the pavement. For comparison, we've got a Leased 2024 R1T Quad with 21's and the large pack, with just under 1000 miles at the beginning of the trip.
(TL,DR: 90 miles out to the Playa, Napier Bed Tent review, 100 mile excursion, blown tire on a gravel road with repair, solar top-off from RV, then conserve mode 90 miles back)
https://preview.redd.it/quua76zkn93d1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c410d83a47da8a9a4489792a8bdc1edd240ada6
Getting out there:
We started the weekend on Saturday morning and topped off to 100% (316 miles, All Purpose) at the closest Charger to the Black Rock Desert, which was 90 miles away at the Electrify America in Fernley, NV. After a mostly uneventful drive to the campsite, we posted up and made camp with some family that had brought an RV all decked out with Solar (More on this later...) and numerous other tents/vans. In All Purpose and mostly driving like a grandma, efficiency was about 2.2 M/kWh and we arrived with about 220 miles remaining.
Camping in the Rivian:
We purchased a Napier Backroadz Truck Bed Tent for a previous vehicle last year, and I was eager to see how the smaller version of the tent would fit in the R1T. After searching a few other posts, and measuring everything up. the smallest size of the tent (Compact-Short Bed) fits like a champ. It does take a little bit of finagling, and at the advice of another Redditor, some carabiners to connect some of the straps inside the gear tunnel. But it fit just fine, and with the tailgate down, gave us more than enough length for the tent and to sleep. As it turns out, the R1T bed is exactly the right size to fit a Full or Double size mattress. We decided to go with a 6 inch tri-fold memory foam mattress for comfort instead of an air mattress, but either will fit. The folded mattress takes up exactly half the bed during travel, leaving plenty of room for chairs, coolers, etc. and was fantastic for comfort. It was a little tight in the bed with myself (6'4", 300) my Wife (5'8", 130) and the 90lb chocolate lab, but any combination of the two of us would have been perfectly fine. And even all three was some of the most comfortable car camping I've done.
As it pertains to Camp Mode and Power usage, it took a while for my big wrinkly brain to figure out that Camp Courtesy was the setting that stopped Proximity Lock/Unlock. So for the first 6 or so hours, it would regularly unlock and light up the whole Playa until I finally read the manual and found the Camp Courtesy mode section. After that, it worked like a champ, stayed perfectly level, and lost very little to Vampire Drain. Even with the 6 hour SNAFU, it only lost about 4 miles between Noon Saturday and about 10 A.M. Sunday.
https://preview.redd.it/j442qthqn93d1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=988aceed69de60853dcf6c9b9b4cc1621d691a36
Off-Road Excursion:
We ended up leaving on Sunday morning to visit Double Hot Springs and Clapper Canyon, about 100 miles round trip back to the campsite. In all my calculating and planning, I wanted to be back at the campsite with about 110 miles remaining to get to the charger in Fernley. I wasn't sure about the efficiency while driving off the pavement and at varying speeds, so I had planned to bail out early if it looked like we weren't going to make it back with at least 110 miles.
Our convoy of 2 Jeeps, a lifted Subaru Baja, and the R1T went bombing across the Playa at about 80 MPH for the first 30 miles to make it to the hot springs. For those that have never been to the Black Rock, it's an expanse of about 1000 square miles of Alkali Desert. Extremely flat, insanely dusty, and not unlike every desolate planet you've ever seen in a science fiction movie. The baked top "Crust" usually cracks under the weight of vehicles and leaves tire tracks all the way across the desert, but the Rivian didn't seem to sink noticeably further than any of the other vehicles. It did suck down some extra juice though, at about 1.8 M/kWh in All Purpose, we arrived on the other side of the playa with about 160 miles. Which means we burnt through about 50 miles of range traveling only 30 miles. But we carried on!
As an aside here, the amount of dust on the Playa is astounding, and the Rivian did an excellent job of keeping as much out as it could. The "Waterproof" compartments (Frunk, Tunnel, Under bed, and Cab) all did a perfect job at keeping the dust out. We kept the newest generation power Tonneau closed with some hope that maybe it would keep some out of the bed, and that was a mistake. The bed was coated with about 1/2 inch of dust, and I later learned the Tonneau was not going to open with all the crap in the slats (more on that later). But for anyone looking at going somewhere super dusty, keep the Tonneau open and put all the stuff you don't want coated in crud in the waterproof compartments.
The next 40ish miles were going to be two-tracker dirt roads. Nothing super difficult, but no faster than about 30 MPH, and most of it less than 20. The Rivian did great! We used All Terrain, and switched a few times between highest and high ride height. Like I said, not Imogene or Rubicon level difficulty, but there were a few places that required some care to not scrape a bumper or ding a door. The approach and departure angles allowed us to traverse a few washes that I would have had to get creative with in a longer truck. The front facing cameras were fantastic to see what was coming without having to guess, although, I don't think I'd do any legitimate Rock Crawling without a spotter just using the cameras. They're decent quality to see where a dip or rock is, but not nearly good enough for me to trust completely on anything gnarly.
We trucked our way along and got some very funny looks from a few other passers-by, keeping up with the two Jeeps just fine. It was as we were beginning to turn the corner on the loop back around to the campsite that things started getting a little worrisome. The road we had intended to take had been completely wiped out by some heavy rain last year, and required a nigh on 20 mile detour to go around. At this point, the range anxiety was not great, and I was coming up with contingencies on how to get home. During this stretch of the excursion, we got about 1.4 M/kWh, which was worse than I had hoped, but about what I expected. The detour led us to a very nicely maintained gravel road, so I was confident that we would be able to get better efficiency than we had been getting, and I ended up putting it into conserve and cruising along at about 40MPH. It was about 30 miles back to camp and 90 back to the charger after that, and the range with Conserve mode showed about 130 miles, which was not exactly ideal, but we could probably squeak back to the charger if nothing changed.
https://preview.redd.it/1ceua0zun93d1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa68e7d911c9a2fb6e15465bf37f43abdfbfa476
We were in the back of the convoy as we moved along down the gravel road, when a notification popped up on the screen. "Check Tire Pressure", and sure enough, the rear drivers side tire was down at 41PSI and dropping rapidly. We rolled to a stop and hopped out to see what the damage was.
Tire Repair:
Lo, and behold, there was a tear of about 1/4 inch in the crown of the left rear tire. and I could hear and feel the air escaping. Unfortunately, I didn't have a spare tire, but our delivery guy had mentioned that the compressor bag in the gear tunnel door had a repair kit. So I broke out the bag, and followed the instructions on the TireJect kit. It involved removing the valve stem core with the included tool, squeezing in about 10 Oz of the rubbeKevlar mix, then inflating the tire and rolling forward a few feet to coat the inside of the tire. I was wholly unconvinced of this working, because I've had very little luck with similar products in the past, and the hole was fairly significant. But, without much of a choice, and in about 10 minutes, it worked exactly as advertised. We used the on-board compressor to fill up to 48PSI, rolled forward about 20 feet, then topped off the tire again, and it worked like a charm. I cannot express how easy, and how well this product worked. It really saved our bacon, because getting a tow truck out there would have been a nightmare, and leaving to get a new tire wouldn't have been much better. Save for having a spare tire, I couldn't ask for a better solution for when you're 100+ miles from civilization. Props to Rivian for finding this product and including a legitimate lifeline in lieu of a spare. It didn't lose a single PSI during the ensuing dirt road drive nor the 150 mile pavement drive all the way home.
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch:
We made it back to the campsite with exactly 82 miles. That was in Conserve, driving as gently as possible both for the tire integrity and for range consumption. Unfortunately, the closest charger was exactly 90 miles away. Even in Conserve, we very probably wouldn't make it. Luckily, as part of their retirement plans, my parents are working on their Off-Grid RV and Utility Trailer, complete with a solar array and 11kWh battery. They offered to let us plug into their fully charged solar battery (albeit 110V, 20 Amp) and stay out another unplanned night. From about 6 P.M. to about 10 A.M., the battery (and solar in the morning) charged us up to 110 miles at an average of 1.1 kW. If they had a second inverter hooked up, we would have been able to use the 240 travel charger and drain that battery in about 1.5 hours. But, as it was, we spent another evening out on the Playa and trickle charged the car.
https://preview.redd.it/455nmcxxn93d1.jpg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ca4de257c535cc1c36588029c605807f708d229
The Drive Home:
We left it in Conserve for the 90 mile return trip Monday morning. I had intended to open the Tonneau to let some of the dust blow out of the bed. I blew out the individual slat joints and the track on either side of the bed with a separate compressor , but when I pushed the button to retract the cover, it moved about 6 inches and stopped. Knowing the reputation the old Tonneaus had, I quickly abandoned that idea and waited till we got somewhere I could brush out the excess and clean the tracks more thoroughly.
We rolled into the Electrify America charger in Fernley with 11 miles and 2%, averaging 2.6 M/kWh for the drive. The tire held up beautifully, and we quickly charged up to 80% for the remaining drive home to Reno.
We stopped off at a car wash and spent a great deal of time spraying down the remaining dust, dirt, grime, and bug guts off. After a thorough spraying of the Tonneau slats and rails, it retracted just fine! No issues, no grinding, and cleaned up great. Yet another testament to Rivian's engineers knowing in the re-design when to quit forcing the moving parts.
The Conclusion:
It was a fantastic trip out! We got to explore a great deal of the operating envelope for the R1T. It was a super comfortable drive, both on and off road, and handled most of the trip like a champ! The vehicle itself worked exactly as advertised. The Camp Speaker was fantastic, Camp Mode and Leveling made for a great place to sleep, and the bed tent was a much more affordable way to camp rather than a $2000 dollar Roof Top Tent.
The downfalls were really more issues with the current (Ha!) charging infrastructure, and us pushing the limits of range without making a whole lot of concessions in comfort. We kept the windows down when it was comfortable to do so, but ran the AC for a good chunk of the trip, and could have turned back from the excursion early. The truck did as good as I could have expected, but a Rivian Adventure Network Charger in Gerlach, NV (the closest settlement) would have alleviated almost all of our issues, save the blown tire. Unfortunately, that seems to just be a byproduct of heavy truck+high tire pressure. I'm not convinced the 20" Off-Road tires would have done any better, but maybe a more aggressive tread would have stopped whatever rock punched the hole. In any case, the TireJect kit in conjunction with the onboard compressor worked beautifully and got us all the way back to the RV and then on to the charger and home.
I'm excited to keep adventuring in our truck! I would be ok to head back out to the Black Rock, but keep the excursions out there to a much shorter route. We were lucky to have a 11kWh top-up, but without that, we would very likely have been screwed. For anyone wanting to know how Rivians do off-road, they're fantastic! But keep in mind that the range calculations are estimates, and your efficiency will probably be lower than on the pavement, so build bigger buffers for your range calculations, especially if you're exploring the more remote parts of the world. Thanks for reading this far everyone! Happy Adventuring!

2024.05.29 03:05 lost-all-info Question for a non-profit.

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read through this. I have reviewed the subreddit rules and understand that this community is mainly for accountants and students, and I apologize for not fitting that criteria. I am involved with a non-profit organization that operates a BMX race track. This track has its own board of directors and bank accounts. We are currently looking to establish another non-profit entity, specifically a BMX race team.
Our question is whether our existing track can financially support the new initiative using its own funds and potentially become the primary sponsor of the new team. We are located in Florida and are seeking guidance on the legal aspects of this matter. One of our board members has expressed concerns that using the track's funds for the team could lead to legal consequences and possible lawsuits. I have attempted to research this online but have been unable to find relevant information or resources.
Could someone please provide me with a reliable source or guidance on this issue? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.29 03:04 Dr3xBot I've been tormented by the antichrist for the last 20 months

He convinced me that he was Jesus christ and told me that I was a prophet and he taught me all kinds of things while torchering me mentally, emotionally and physically every day and night. He first told me he was a gang stalker which I looked up online and saw that this is happening to many people. This tells me that the antichrist will not come in physical form but he will come to our minds claiming to be the voice of the lord. In the following weeks he told me that he's actually a demon and is waiting for me to let him in and then he's going to show the world a new kind of evil they can't imagine. He started telling me that because of my bloodline I am the false prophet and he gave me a vision on being crucified before the world as the antichrist by our the U.S. president who would also be the anti christ. After this he convinced me that he was God and I started doing everything he told me to. He told me to kill myself and I tried 4 times but survived. I cant die and I dont know why. He promised me all these things for being his prophet like winning the lottery and having the perfect life and a beautiful wife and said it was all his plan for me to show other people that life is planned to get better for everyone. He taught me all these good things like how the devil doesn't exist and never did. He said it was just a story for people to fear if they did something wrong back when no one enforced the law. He taught me that all people go to heaven and hell doesn't exist. He said its because all people are good people and he made each one of us to be how we are and do what we do. He taught me that revelations isn't happening becuase he always planned that the world become like heaven and its almost there. He started telling me to tell people about things that were going to happen but never did. Every day he would go back and forth from saying he's the devil to saying he was God. He performed miracles for me and showed me told me beautiful things. He told me the earths history and how old it is. Things I thought he was telling me as God to reveal to the world but was really telling me to convince me he was God.. He is torrchering me with symptoms of diseases I don't have. He wants me to believe he's the Jesus christ and that its all a test to see if I believe him that the devil doesn't exist.
I wish I was going crazy but I'm not. Its been 19 months of his voice 24/7. He has raped me several times. Like jerked me off and given me orgasms in the earlier days. He crippled my dog for disobeying. My dog became pregnant out of nowhere and gave birth in this tar looking stuff. I play prayers online to relax and they turn to demonic summoning spells. They've got me to agree to learn witchcraft. He controlled my mind and made me challenge the devil and yell all kinds of blasphemy against God and Jesus christ. He has complete control over my body.
I truly believe this is the antichrist. Hes trying to make my penis hard as I type this to remind me he's still here. This is the most evil thing I can imagine and he makes me terrified of being alive.
I am telling you this because after the solar eclipse, blood moon, war in Ukraine and then isreal being at war, we're almost there. I believe I am the man of lawlessness mentioned in the bible who will be revealed before Jesus comes. I believe the story of the sins ive committed will be told to the world and he will tell the world that they are forgiven for their sins while pretending to be Jesus Christ or by Jesus christ. I dont know. But I know the end is near.
He convinced me that I have the authority to tell people they are forgiven for their sins because God planned their entire lived and everything they've ever done and will do and was never upset with them for their sins so their is nothing to forgive. This is a lie. Revealtions is here and the second coming is right around the corner. The anti christ will communicate with people in their heads, concealing himself and pretending to be God. He is more powerful than I can express. I'm in anguish typing this message as he wants me to stop.
Please repent. Repenting is not enough though. We have to put sin behind us!

2024.05.29 02:58 alpacasonice How do you compare COL (cost of living)?

I know there’s those online calculators, but I’m always a bit skeptical. I want to make sure they’re actually accurate before moving someplace and finding out otherwise!
Comparing rent prices is pretty straightforward. I can’t imagine the cost of food, entertainment, or medical is going to be that different from place to place. So what else do you look at?
(Maybe it’s because I’m looking at 1 BR apartment rentals, but it definitely seems like there’s a “floor” of about $1400/month for any type of city…)

2024.05.29 02:54 BlueBirdBack The Weakness of Generative AI and Job Safety

The Weakness of Generative AI and Job Safety
Generative AI has a weakness: it's not deterministic. When it comes to tasks with clear right and wrong answers, generative AI's weaknesses are on full display.
Let's give this prompt a shot ten times with ChatGPT-4o.
A farmer needs to transport a sheep, a goat, and themselves across a river using a boat that can only hold the farmer and two animals at a time. What is the minimum number of trips required for all three to reach the other side?
ChatGPT-4o gave me 6 different answers to this question. Here's how they shook out:
  • The number 1 showed up three times
  • 3 appeared two times
  • 5 also showed up two times
  • I got 2, 4, and 6 once each

ChatGPT link: https://chatgpt.com/share/1f369cd3-8624-4841-b264-0e6c3b7d4912
I had ChatGPT-4o crunch some numbers to figure out what percentage of tasks in each job require clear-cut, right-or-wrong answers. Here's what I came up with.
Job Percentage Rationale
Content Writers and Copywriters 30% While grammar and spelling are binary, creativity and style are subjective and require human judgment.
Graphic Designers 40% Design involves creativity and subjective aesthetics, although adherence to brand guidelines can be objective.
Retail Sales Associates 50% Product information and transaction processing are binary, but customer interaction and recommendations are subjective.
Personal Assistants 50% Scheduling and organizing tasks can be binary, but prioritizing tasks and handling personal preferences are subjective.
Paralegals and Legal Assistants 60% Legal research and document drafting have binary aspects, but interpretation of legal language requires subjectivity.
Market Research Analysts 60% Data collection and initial analysis can be binary, but insights and recommendations are subjective.
Human Resources (HR) Coordinators 60% Screening resumes and scheduling are binary, but assessing cultural fit and interviewing involve subjectivity.
Customer Service Representatives 70% Many inquiries have standard answers, but some require nuanced responses and empathy that go beyond binary solutions.
Financial Analysts 70% Financial data analysis involves objective calculations, but interpretation of trends and making predictions adds subjectivity.
Technical Support Specialists 75% Many technical issues have clear solutions, but complex problems may require subjective troubleshooting.
Translators 80% Many translations can be straightforward and follow linguistic rules, but context and idiomatic expressions add complexity.
Proofreaders and Editors 80% Grammar and spelling checks are binary, but style and coherence require subjective judgment.
Please keep in mind, Generative AI doesn't always get it right, so take the data above with a grain of salt - it might not be 100% accurate.

2024.05.29 02:48 Haisekki3776 I will appreciate any insight

I am a 25 year old male and I did something in my teens, which destroyed my mental health to the point where I would contemplate suicide.
I am well aware and have this basic principle drilled into my skull, which is that if you have done something horrible and disgraceful, you no longer have the rights and privilege to express any kind of emotions or explain the reasons as to why something happened. In fact the only emotions you can express is regret and remorse all so that it can serve to lessen the pain of the people who have been hurt. If you were to express or explain anything that is irrelevant in service to others such as your own point of view which led you to that point, then people will throw rocks at you and look at you with disgust. In other words all you can do is either take on full responsibility in silence even if it crushes you flat and live with your head low for the rest of your life in shame never to reach any form of happy experiences or continue the destructive path reminiscent to hell itself like a wild animal screeching and wailing as you do more harm to both yourself and others, until someone is robbed of everything or receives death as punishment. At that point the abyss has shown its terrifying face to you and all you can do is look at it in silence as every piece of you crumbles bit by bit straight into the ground.
I stole a bit over £20,000 in the span of 6 years from my own mother.
It started one day when she showed off how much she has saved in cash, as she would spread the money on the kitchen table and tell me to count it all, since she was either too low on energy or couldn't be bothered.
It made me wonder why is it that she isn't keeping most of her money in the bank, and instead in a wallet that would be placed inside the drawer next to her bed or underneath her mattress. I thought to myself, how easy it would be to take little from it in a way that would not be noticed, but I was too naïve as that would only work in short term. I went ahead of myself and did it long term, which fucked me up and strained our relationship.
I used it mostly on Gacha games and some of it on Euro Millions lottery tickets. In the end I was not only bad at the gacha games, but I did not win anything substantial from the lottery tickets.
It basically went from my mother's hard earned money to my gullible mind with intrusive thoughts to someone else's bank account. In return my mother lost that money, because of me and I received temporary cheap dopamine. Even if I wanted to sell the gacha game accounts, It is pretty much impossible, since it is not a physical object and nobody will pay that much for a gacha game account that is not part of the more played gacha games. Alternatively it would've been better if it was trading cards, since those can be sold for quite a lot and you won't have to deal with scammers who pose as buyers.
I was also a NEET for 4 years, which it does not paint a good image on myself. I did at least cook, wash the dishes, do laundry, clean the floors and help with carrying groceries.
However, one day things pretty much blew up and we got in a very serious argument/confrontation. Which resulted in me being told that I will become homeless and I have to figure things out for myself. Then I decided to go back to my father who was a complete POS due to him sexually assaulting and abusing both of us, which really crushed me, as my mother has always placed me under parental alienation. I said to myself that at this point I might as well jump off a high place, since I am screwed either way.
Option 1 - Homelessness and never getting better
Option 2 - Jumping off a high place
Option 3 - Staying with my father whose existence is like Voldemort to me
I chose option 3 and lived on egg shells for half an year until I decided to lie myself out of there.
My mother proposed a deal which is to go live separately in a house next to my grandparent's house. In return I have to give a few hundred every month, maintain the cleanliness of the house, help my grandparents with anything and give free labour on weekends to my uncle. As well as save money to finish a building behind my grandparent's house.
One year later after the deal, I am here...
I was supposed to go through a Formal Autism Diagnostic Assessment in the UK through the NHS, as my GP thought it would be a good idea to get checked, but that was thrown out of the window the moment I had to go back to my home country.
I couldn't even finish my education as I was way too stupid for a bachelor's diploma. A degree is completely out of my league.
At least now I know that I am even a bigger POS than my father and no matter what I do it will never be enough. I am screwed either way and this is not even the whole picture.
I have no real life friends or online friends and don't even see the point of relationships.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and despite that nobody cares. In fact I was told by my mother to not take the prescribed Stimulants as that would ruin me.
...
...
I have almost decided that I will run away from everything and end it in Japan. It will probably hurt people and cause a lot of heartache and headache to many people, but I don't see any feasible solid solution to my problems.

2024.05.29 02:47 tempmailgenerator The Mystery Behind HTML's Interpretation of "chucknorris" as a Color

Decoding HTML's Colorful Secrets

In the vast expanse of web development, HTML stands as the foundational language, structuring the content we see on the internet. Among its many features, the specification of colors for various elements is a fundamental capability, allowing developers to create visually engaging and thematic designs. However, not all color specifications are straightforward or predictable. A curious anomaly exists where certain nonsensical strings, when used to define color values, result in valid, though unexpected, color renderings. One of the most amusing and baffling examples of this is the string "chucknorris."
This peculiar behavior raises questions about the inner workings of HTML and its color processing mechanism. It's not just about a laugh or a meme; understanding why HTML interprets "chucknorris" as a color can shed light on the nuances of web standards and browser implementations. As developers and curious minds dive into the technicalities, they uncover a blend of history, specification interpretation, and the sometimes humorous idiosyncrasies that have shaped the web. This exploration not only enriches our understanding of HTML but also highlights the importance of flexibility and creativity in the realm of web development.
Command / Guideline Description
Inspect Element Use browser's developer tools to inspect HTML elements and their styles, including color values.
Color Processing in Browsers Understanding how browsers interpret and process nonsensical strings as colors.

Unraveling the Color Conundrum

The enigma of "chucknorris" being recognized as a color in HTML is rooted in the way web browsers parse and interpret color values. When a browser encounters a string that it cannot directly map to a predefined color, it attempts to convert the string into a numerical value that can then be translated into a color. This process involves taking the hexadecimal values of the characters in the string, performing a calculation, and then interpreting the result as a color. The peculiar case of "chucknorris" and similar strings falls into this category, where the browser's algorithm tries to make sense of the nonsensical, resulting in a valid color despite the input not being a valid color code.
This phenomenon highlights the flexibility and error-forgiveness built into web standards, designed to ensure that user and developer mistakes don't lead to broken pages. Such quirks of HTML and CSS are not just amusing footnotes in web development; they offer insights into the evolution of web standards and the importance of backward compatibility and robustness. By delving into these oddities, developers gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities and nuances of web development, reinforcing the need for thorough testing and understanding of how browsers interpret the code we write. It serves as a reminder that in the digital world, even seemingly trivial or humorous examples can teach valuable lessons about technology's intricate workings.

Exploring HTML Color Anomalies

Browser Developer Tools
 Right-click on an element and select "Inspect" to open the developer tools Navigate to the "Styles" tab to view the CSS applied to the selected element Look for the color property to see how the browser interprets "chucknorris" as a color 

Exploring HTML's Colorful Easter Eggs

The intriguing case of HTML interpreting "chucknorris" as a color sheds light on the broader topic of web browsers' color parsing mechanisms. Essentially, when a browser encounters a string within a color context that it doesn't recognize as a valid color name or hexadecimal code, it attempts to convert this string into a hexadecimal value. This process involves a somewhat forgiving algorithm that strips out invalid characters and tries to make sense of what remains. If the string can be coerced into a hexadecimal format, the browser will then display a color corresponding to that value. The string "chucknorris," through this algorithm, ends up being converted into a hexadecimal value that the browser can use, resulting in an actual color being displayed.
This unexpected behavior is a testament to the web's resilience and its ability to handle errors gracefully. It also highlights the importance of understanding how web technologies work under the hood. For developers, it underscores the necessity of rigorous testing across different browsers and environments to ensure consistent user experiences. This phenomenon is just one of many quirks that exist within HTML and CSS, serving as both a source of amusement and a learning opportunity for those interested in web development. It prompts a deeper inquiry into the standards and specifications that govern the web, revealing the complexities involved in creating the seamless and interactive online experiences we often take for granted.

Common Questions About HTML Color Quirks

  1. Question: Why does HTML recognize "chucknorris" as a color?
  2. Answer: HTML recognizes "chucknorris" as a color due to browser algorithms that attempt to parse unrecognized strings into hexadecimal values, which are then interpreted as colors.
  3. Question: Can other random strings be interpreted as colors in HTML?
  4. Answer: Yes, other random strings can also be interpreted as colors if they can be coerced into a format that resembles a hexadecimal color code through the browser's parsing algorithm.
  5. Question: How do browsers decide on the color when given a random string?
  6. Answer: Browsers strip out invalid characters from the string and attempt to convert the remaining characters into a hexadecimal value, which is then used to display a color.
  7. Question: Is this behavior standardized across all browsers?
  8. Answer: While most modern browsers follow similar algorithms for parsing colors, slight differences may occur, leading to variations in the displayed color for the same string across different browsers.
  9. Question: Does this mean I can use any string as a color in my web designs?
  10. Answer: While it's technically possible, it's not recommended to rely on this behavior for web designs due to its unpredictability and the potential for variations across browsers.
  11. Question: What is the best practice for specifying colors in HTML?
  12. Answer: The best practice is to use recognized color names or hexadecimal, RGB, or HSL values to ensure consistency and predictability in your designs.
  13. Question: Are there any tools to convert strings to colors?
  14. Answer: Yes, there are online tools and libraries that can convert arbitrary strings into hexadecimal colors, though they mimic the browser's parsing logic rather than using HTML/CSS directly.
  15. Question: Why is understanding this behavior important for developers?
  16. Answer: Understanding how browsers parse and interpret color values is crucial for debugging, creating accessible designs, and ensuring a consistent user experience across web applications.
  17. Question: Can this feature be used creatively in web design?
  18. Answer: While possible, using this feature creatively should be approached with caution to maintain accessibility and user experience standards.

Wrapping Up the Colorful Mysteries of HTML

At first glance, the fact that HTML can interpret something as arbitrary as "chucknorris" as a color might seem like nothing more than an amusing quirk. However, delving deeper into this phenomenon reveals much about the resilience and adaptability of web standards. It serves as a reminder of the importance of browser compatibility, the need for robust web development practices, and the inherent flexibility that has allowed the web to grow and evolve over time. This exploration not only adds a layer of fun to web development but also reinforces the significance of understanding the underlying mechanisms of web technologies. As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible on the web, keeping in mind these quirks and features can inspire more creative and innovative approaches to web design and development. Ultimately, the "chucknorris" color anomaly is a testament to the endless possibilities and sometimes unexpected humor embedded in the world of web development.

2024.05.29 02:39 Kiosade Negative Skin Friction within a potentially liquefiable zone?

Hello, I'm a geotech in California, and when we do investigations for any projects related to K-12 schools, they must be reviewed by a special group of geologists who determine if we've sufficiently addressed all geotechnical and geologic hazards at the site.
I recently had a report come back with a comment from the geologist group saying I need to account for downdrag and negative skin friction due to post-seismically-induced liquefaction in the report. I'd never really even heard of that concept before, as it never came up in any of our other projects in the past decade, so I read up on it and found some sort of equations to use (Principles of Foundation Engineer, Das, 2016).
For some background, the site is underlain by a layer of about 8' of medium stiff sandy clay over a layer of 4' loose silty sand, which is further underlain by about 5' of sandy clay before you start encountering bedrock. I calculated skin friction using f(n) = K'σ'(0)tan(δ'), and downdrag using... well, idk how to write it here but it's the integral of Dpif(n), where D is the diameter of the pile. I assumed that the pier will rest at 12' down, or right after they get through the sand layer essentially.
In the example problem I'm following, it seems that in this case, only the clay layer induces negative skin friction/downdrag force, which makes sense to me I suppose, since the liquefiable layer would be assumptively be liquified and therefore acting almost like water, right?. I go and submit my calculated values to the geologists, and they tell me:
"Post-liquefaction induced downdrag is indeed that, a post-liquefaction condition wherein the soils are regaining/have regained their original strength, so neglecting strength within the liquefied zone is unconservative. The negative skin friction should be estimated based on the non-liquefied strength of the soil profile and the cumulative drag load should be calculated considering the full thickness of soil to the bottom of the liquefied zone."
Essentially they want me to also calculate the negative skin friction and downdrag force the liquefiable layer will induce on the pile... but does that even make sense? The way I see it, downdrag is caused by the liquefiable layer settling, dragging down the clay layer above it, which "grips" the pile and pulls down on it. If sand is starting to "regain it's strength", well isn't that at the point AFTER the settlement occurs? How can it even contribute to downdrag?
If anyone has a better, simple way to calculate this stuff, I'd be grateful to learn. The book I used doesn't explain where they came up with their formula, and every other reference i've found online fails to provide a similar, simple equation to use for some reason. Makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong, I dunno.
