It's not just the universal healthcare enables access to healthcare to more people. When healthcare is something being paid for by everyone, the state of other people's health matters to you too (not just your own).

Therefore, things like public smoking bans (as we have in the UK) as well as public health campaigns around alcohol consumption and healthy eating become palatable. Regulating harmful foodstuffs becomes more important. The cost of smokers' adverse health was (and still is) enormous, and reducing that burden benefits everyone.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/254... is the de-facto way that custom emoji are done today, but as you can see from the labyrinthine Matrix Spec Change, it still needs some work to get stabilised and formally merged into the spec. Meanwhile, folks are always welcome to use experimental MSCs in the wild.

> It's generally speaking part of the problem with the entire "XML as a savior" mindset of that earlier era and a big reason of why we left them

Generally speaking I feel like this is true for a lot of stuff in programming circles, XML included.

New technology appears, some people play around with it. Others come up with using it for something else. Give it some time, and eventually people start putting it everywhere. Soon "X is not for Y" blogposts appear, and usage finally starts to decrease as people rediscover "use the right tool for the right problem". Wait yet some more time, and a new technology appears, and the same cycle begins again.

Seen it with so many things by now that I think "we'll" (the software community) forever be stuck in this cycle and the only way to win is to explicitly jump out of the cycle and watch it from afar, pick up the pieces that actually make sense to continue using and ignore the rest.

OMG this app f'n rocks. My convo with my Argentine mujer is soooo fluid and smooth.

I've been living in Buenos Aires for over 18 years now, so my pronunciations and accent is quite good. It's just that I never had the proper early fundamental foundations of grammar ..so I have a bunch of embarrassing holes that need filling -- this app is quite precise when it comes to focusing on those aspects.

Te felicito!

Ps my only nit pick so far is the UX on ios > the Settings modal > when opened there is no clear CTA to close it. Because the click-state of the settings button is 97% the same color as the non-click state.

Solution : 1 - add a close X button to the top right (standard accessibility)

2 - change the click-state Color of the settings button to a reverse color or accent color.

> So you are saying that Array.from(querySelectorAll) gets you there? What are you missing then?

Array.from adds friction. The need to wrap querySelector in null checks adds friction. The fact that they are not composable in any way, shape, or form, with any DOM methods (and that DOM methods are not composable) adds friction.

jQuery was the fore-runner of fluid interface design. Nothing in the DOM before, then, or since ever thought about it. Even the new APIs are all the same 90s Java-style method calls with awkward conversions and workarounds to do anything useful.

That's why sites like "You don't need jQuery" read like bad parody: https://youmightnotneedjquery.com

E.g. what happens when it's not just one element?

$(el).addClass(className); // vs. el.classList.add(className);

Or: why doesn't NodeList expose an array-like object, but provides an extremely anaemic interface that you always need to convert to array? [1]

$(selector).filter(filterFn); // vs. [...document.querySelectorAll(selector)].filter(filterFn);

There's a reason most people avoid DOM APIs like the plague.

This. This picture only looks at current boomers which heavily favors those in western Europe who live like kings due to wealth, taxation and policies being catered towards them since they make a majority of the voters and caught the good times of economic growth and wealth building, but some of those economies kinda stagnated post 2008, which will mostly affect future generations of retirees not the current ones.

So I expect the picture of future retirees will look very different between countries with growing economies and the ones with declining/stagnating economies.

What typical Reddit ignorance that compares the avg life expectancy of the whole USA with a range of 68 years for tribal people to 85 years for “Asians”, a 17 year spread, to individual European countries.

It has always baffled me a bit that Europeans keep making this basic type error, by comparing individual European countries that were relatively cohesive and healthy until recently, to the whole of the USA that suffers from a whole host of benefits of diversity. Europeans simply have no understanding of the real America beyond what they see in movies or hear on Reddit. How could they, most people in America don’t even have a clue what America really is like due to endless barrages of propaganda from childhood on.

I still don't understand how these arguments make sense for new code. Naturally, sizes should be unsigned because they represent values which cannot be unsigned. If you do pointer/size arithmetic, the only solution to avoid overflows is to overflow-check and range-check before computation.

You cannot even check the signedness of a signed size to detect an overflow, because signed overflow is undefined!

The remaining argument from what I can tell is that comparisons between signed and unsigned sizes are bug-prone. There is however, a dedicated warning to resolve this instantly.

It makes sense that you should be able to assign a pointer to a size. If the size is signed, this cannot be done due to its smaller capacity.

Given this, I can't understand the justification. I'm currently using unsigned sizes. If you have anything contradicting, please comment :^)

Qwen2.5-VL 7B is pretty impressive at turning printed or handwritten maths lecture notes into Latex code, and is small enough to run slowly on a laptop without enough VRAM. Gemma3 4B was useless at this though, and got stuck in loops or tried to solve the maths problems instead of just converting the working to Latex (but it was much faster as it fit into VRAM).

It sounds like you're trying to use them like ChatGPT, but I think that's not what they're for.

Are there particular libraries that make your setup difficult? I just manually set the index and source following the docs (didn’t know about the auto backend feature) and pin a specific version if I really have to with `uv add “torch==2.4”`. This works pretty well for me for projects that use dgl, which heavily uses C++ extensions and can be pretty finicky about working with particular versions

This is in a conventional HPC environment, and I’ve found it way better than conda since the dependency solves are so much faster and I no longer experience PyTorch silently getting downgraded to cpu version of I install a new library. Maybe I’ve been using conda poorly though?

The launch costs in the article look quite off from the outset.

A Falcon Heavy launch is already under $100M, and in the $1400/kg range; Starship’s main purpose is to massively reduce launch costs, so $1000/kg is not optimistic at all and would be a failure. Their current target is $250/kg eventually once full reusability is in place.

Still far from the dream of $30/kg but not that far.

The original “white paper” [1] also does acknowledge that a separate launch is needed for the solar panels and radiators at a 1:1 ratio to the server launches, which is ignored here. I think the author leaned in a bit too much on their deep research AI assistant output.

When Major Nelson left, I knew the days of Xbox were numbered.

I have loved the Xbox brand and systems since their initial launch back in 2001, but in recent years they have just felt forgotten.

The UI is largely the same as it was 10+ years ago, they've added very few features in that time.

I have been patiently waiting for them to do something, anything really. In the days of the 360 there were events and energy around the system, and an aura of fun. They forgot how to have fun.

They took our avatars away in January, and frankly that was probably the death knell. Here there be no fun, no whimsy, this box is just a storefront - give us your money.

Here's the problem: pitch accent is easy to hear in isolation and/or in comparison. Under real life conditions, in the middle of a sentence, it's a completely different experience. But then you're saved by context. Because candy is most likely not falling from the sky. Homophones that are still ambiguous in context are possible, but a rare occurrence in my experience.

How I got my first 7k users with just $230:

Ran X/Twitter ads ($10/day for 3 days)

Did basic SEO (ranked on “YouTube AI chat” related keywords)

Cold emailed small influencers (worked with 2 for $100 each)

Total spent: $230

Revenue so far:

6 lifetime users ($49 each) → $294

15 monthly users ($20/month) → $300/month

Total revenue: $594 in the first month Monthly recurring revenue (MRR): $300

Simple moves. No fancy hacks. Just tested fast and kept it lean.

I didn’t say less bugs. There are a lot of bugs, they are just localized to each call, and then copy/pasted all over the place. So when found, they need to be fixed in a bunch of places. It makes for quite the mess.

They just aren’t making changes to the shared function, so they don’t need to test existing functionality still works, just their single use case.

The classic "Europe was freeloading" line - straight from the Kremlin's greatest hits compilation. Here's the thing: the post-WWII security architecture wasn't designed out of charity or naivety. The U.S. wanted to anchor Europe under its military umbrella, precisely to prevent another arms race on the continent (you know, like the one that gave us Nazi Germany). Re-arming Europe too fast or too independently was a geopolitical nightmare the U.S. wisely avoided.

Framing this long-term strategic choice as mere European "freeloading" is historical malpractice - and straight-up disinformation. It's the kind of reductionist narrative that ignores why NATO exists, forgets the U.S. benefits (forward bases, arms sales, influence), and erases the fact that Europe did gradually ramp up spending - until Trump turned alliance politics into a shakedown operation.

Trump's behaviour - threatening Article 5, calling NATO obsolete, encouraging Russia to do "whatever the hell they want" to non-payers - isn't tough love. It's textbook Kremlin strategy: undermine trust, fracture alliances, weaken deterrence, then pretend it's just "common sense".

The "unity" you're applauding is what happens when your supposed ally holds a lit match over the fuel tank and everyone else finally realises they're on their own. This isn't thanks to Trump - it's a survival reflex against him.

Undermining NATO's core guarantee, parroting Russian talking points, and daring Moscow to test the alliance wasn't tough negotiation - it was sabotage.

> I did not predict anything, I said "maybe, maybe not".

The derisive way of putting the alternative (Musk's proven trash announcements) indicates that you were arguing a certain side. It definitely wasn't neutral.

> And you told me it was "bad reasoning".

The bad reasoning is what you're basing the (let's say) doubt on. You seem to know that a lot of technological progress has happened in the military FPV drone industry, but the article and described limitations are about (again) consumer level shit thrown together, not the advanced FPV drones that exist today.

Perhaps the conclusion should be that a lot of the problems described in the article are already solved, but that Ukraine (and Russia) couldn't get their hands on enough of the more capable FPV drones due to those being too expensive or not produced in large enough quantities.

In the end the WYSIWYG would produce an XML file that you can put under version control. All depends on the UI of the thing your are building, if what you are building only needs to be functional and nobody cares about the UI (that is always the case of internal use software, that needs to have a good UX but who cares if it has the Windows 95 style controls, like machine HMIs, ERP software, etc.) WYSIWYG (like Visual Studio) are good to write things fast and typically with a consistent layout. I mean, most companies are not building a videogame, and most people are still fine using things like AS/400, so...

We disabled it on matrix.org because it was being used for 2FA SMS fraud, costing us $$$K, and we didn't want to burn time building an anti-fraud system. Getting access to everyone's phonebooks is also a privacy risk (even if you do fancy stuff with SGX like Signal does).

Meanwhile, government deployments typically have LDAP or similar to discover users - and so it hasn't come up as a big requirement for the folks generating $. It's on the radar though as one of the main blockers for mainstream uptake... but right now we're trying to keep the lights on first before focusing on accelerating mainstream uptake.

> True, but they were equally able to propose and deploy alternative solutions and mostly just went along with web components (with exceptions of course).

Safari doesn't have as many engineers (a shame) and definitely doesn't have as many people whose apparent job is just to sit on standards committees and generate specs (like Alex Russel, Justin Fangnani etc.).

They did end up proposing declarative template instantiation in 2017: https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposal... but that mostly went nowhere

Quoting Judge Alsup from his recent ruling in Bartz v. Anthropic.

> Instead, Authors contend generically that training LLMs will result in an explosion of works competing with their works — such as by creating alternative summaries of factual events, alternative examples of compelling writing about fictional events, and so on. This order assumes that is so (Opp. 22–23 (citing, e.g., Opp. Exh. 38)). But Authors’ complaint is no different than it would be if they complained that training schoolchildren to write well would result in an explosion of competing works. This is not the kind of competitive or creative displacement that concerns the Copyright Act. The Act seeks to advance original works of authorship, not to protect authors against competition.

Surely it is not just healthcare and air/water as for example Scotland has life expectancy that is worse by two years comparing to England: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

My understanding for Scotland/England it is a question of alcohol/drugs to some degree. I suspect it is similar for the comparison to US.

I think people consider Japan to be doing strong because it's still a safe peaceful society to live in, despite the economic issues. Compared that to living in LA in the world's strongest economy, where it's like you're in a PvP server. So what's the point of having a strong economy if nobody can afford to live and the streets full of shit from homeless people.

Element One should support MAS + EX in the next 2-3 weeks.

Mozilla's EMS hosting got migrated over yesterday (at last)

60% of the rest of EMS-hosted servers are also migrated already.

Sorry it didn't happen earlier, but all our focus has been on getting on-premise deployments for people like NATO & the UN working excellently, and the SaaS deployments have been lagging.

On the web they are. Once something is out in the open on the web, there will be people depending on this, in this exact form, forever.

Come to academia.

I don't mean "become a professor"; I mean be a software developer at a college or university. They need them in large teams (IT department of a larger university) down to solo devs (working for a single department at a small liberal arts college—this is where I've been for 15 years).

It's true that you won't get the same level of pay—frankly, I've been woefully underpaid—but, by and large, they're not trying to replace everyone with AI, they adhere to basic standards of ethics, and they don't subscribe to crunch culture. If you're working in an academic department, chances are your bosses will basically think you're doing magic all the time and give you massive respect. Plus the job security is overall much higher. (Well, it has been. I suppose the current political situation may create some extra instability, depending on the position.)

Every one of those points is also true in Europe (apart from possibly healthcare), unfortunately. Car dependency and car-centric development is almost everywhere, places like the Netherlands are an outlier. Fast food and ads thereof are also everywhere. Many people smoke. Etc.

I believe that Nespresso measures the amount of caffeine in the final drink, assuming you used the correct serving size. For example, for Ispirazione Napoli (https://www.nespresso.com/tw/en/order/capsules/original/ispi...), they claim that "Per serving of Caffeine is 109mg/25ml".

All of what you said makes sense from the perspective of a product manager working for a for-profit company trying to maximize profit either today or eventually.

But the submission blog post writes:

> To advance scientific research, we’re making AlphaGenome available in preview via our AlphaGenome API for non-commercial research, and planning to release the model in the future. We believe AlphaGenome can be a valuable resource for the scientific community, helping scientists better understand genome function, disease biology, and ultimately, drive new biological discoveries and the development of new treatments.

And at that point, they're painting this release as something they did in order to "advance scientific research" and because they believe "AlphaGenome can be a valuable resource".

So now they're at a cross-point, is this release actually for advancing scientific research and if so, why aren't they doing it in a way so it actually maximizes advancing scientific research, which I think is the point parent's comment.

Even the most basic principle for doing research, being able to reproduce something, goes out the window when you put it behind an API, so personally I doubt their ultimate goal here is to serve the scientific community.

Edit: Reading further comments it seems like they've at least claimed they want to do a model+weights release of this though (from the paper: "The model source code and weights will also be provided upon final publication.") so remains to be seen if they'll go through with it or not.
