The Bible isn't that large in terms of actual data, it's all text. So storing a bunch of translations locally seems pretty easy. And from what I can see from the documentation, this only allows querying chapters/verses across translations, so it doesn't seem to be doing a lot of serverside work to link data together or to find references to names/places, or to merge translations together in some way.

Is there a reason I'm missing why this is an API instead of something handled locally in a structured data format? Does it have access to a bunch of licensed translations that I couldn't use locally or something?

I guess I'm just a little confused at what the value add is of having be online instead of local.
Because quality is rare.
Reminds me of Gay Deceiver's organization system from The Number of the Beast - I've always wanted to implement something like that, but I lacked the skill when I had the time, and now (maybe) have the skill but (certainly) lack the time. Well done!

This is idiotic shit. Yes, I too can code a GAN for a cheap trailer.
I agree with you (with a caveat). First though, I agree it's definitely a silly and wildly speculative question to start questioning the implications of something we are 0% of the way towards creating. What is commonly called AI is a still growing field with lots of practical and research significance, and it would just be ignorant to constrain research because of someone's imagination about Terminator or something that literally has nothing to do with current ML (unless you count that his CPU was a neural net processor [btw, James Cameron or whoever saw that coming in 1991]). Worrying about sentient AI running amok is just silly pop science, like talking about the implications of time machines or FTL travel or whatever.

Re the caveat, I don't agree or disagree with your time scale. Current ML has nothing to do (almost certainly) with sentient AGI.

Intelligence is demonstrable possible, so there is a way to do it, we just don't know it. I certainly believe it's possible we could "crack" life, conciousness, and intelligence in a shorter timeframe. But since we haven't really even started yet, it's hard to guess when that will come.
I'm not sure I remember this correctly but wasn't he paid by SCO?
Absolutely yes, Chromebooks are DRM'ed up the wazoo, much more than any Windows PC.
very interesting. lots to think about!
Epic owes Apple 30% of what they collected via their own in-app purchases. While Apple will have to eliminate their anti-steering rules, they don't even have to let Epic themselves back into the app store.

So Epic got nothing. Less than nothing. They have less today than they would have had they never updated their app in violation of their contract.

Apple did lose something, a small thing, but that's not a win for Epic.
It’s much worse than you are describing: NYT put wirecutter behind a two layer paywall.

They no longer let regular NYT subscribers from accessing Wirecutter, one has to buy an extra subscription (I assume almost everyone buying this will also pay for basic NYT access so it is effectively a two layer pay wall)

https://www.nytimes.com/subscription/wirecutter

This is part of NYT plan to divide their content into different groups and charge a subscription for each.

I am not sure if this strategy is smart or not, but my gut feeling is that it is a horrible strategy, and could hurt customer retention rates.

No. Most of the complexities in the tax system are due to tax incentives and exemptions that the tax payer needs to verify.
Another evil intention I can recall along this thread is the "neutron" bomb.

The idea being, produce a nuclear weapon that has a extreme radiation pulse during detonation but generates no long lived nuclides. Detonate over enemy territory, everyone dies from radiation sickness from the detonation, then you can move in and all the infrastructure is still in place.

Not much development ever took place, considering such a thing could only ever be an offensive/invasion weapon.
Nurses don't deliver babies anyway - doctors do.

Gender, race, sex preferences, or political beliefs are very different from being anti-vax.

Being anti-vax is evidence of low intelligence. So no, I would not want someone with low intelligence to handle or assist my baby's delivery.

But the most obvious reason is that they directly endanger mothers and babies in the delivery ward because unvaccinated people are more contagious and carry higher viral loads.
For those who are using Storybook:
Do you develop your component in storebook first? Then implement on your actual page?

Also are you able to leverage it for automation test? I.e. if you have a photo gallery...have a state where it has 0 photos, 1, 2.. and have some UI automation test (i.e. Selenium) run against it?

If not do you have any recommendations for something like this kind of use case?
Apple will now be allowed to terminate Epic's developer account for Unreal Engine, if they choose to do so.

So no, Epic did very, very, very poorly.
Not going to happen, their argument will be that changing an existing system is different from a new system that implements the same thing.
No. It was just very limited because Wirth was an academic. Pascal was adequate for teaching Computer Science, but not for teaching programming.

Hahahahaha get pressed on y’all soft ass morons
Is that actually true?

Life expectancy is a bit of a misleading metric in that regard, since life expectancies are just averages. If a population has a life expectancy of 50, that doesn’t necessarily mean that 50-year-olds are dying of old age and no one makes it to age 80. It could mean that there are a lot more children and young adults dying and bringing down the average. So if you’re living in a society with a life expectancy of 50 years and you turn 50, your personal life expectancy is probably going to be closer to 70-80 because you’ve already managed to survive the causes of death that affect younger people.

And you may very well develop things like dementia. The concept of people becoming elderly enough to lose their mental faculties isn’t some unprecedented 20th century discovery. It is becoming more common, but that’s just because deaths from childhood illness, infectious disease, violence, and occupational accidents are becoming less common.

Nihilistic post. Sure email standard has issues outlined. But given the recent Aussie laws and general political climate using plain text email is asking for trouble.
I think Tutanota has done end rub around all these issues. Been using for few months and works well. AES, encryption at rest, plain email and shared passwords too.
But given the EU tech law trend towards increased sifting through communication they are being and will be targeted. While Proton gets all the publicity but I feel they have better offering, including clients on all platforms.
No, the signal protocol doesn't leak the sender/recipients pair, only that the recipient is getting a message.
To get rid of 90% you would have to kill social security and Medicare. I don’t see that ever happening. In addition you would have to cut the defense budget, since that alone is more than 10%. I’d be on board with that, but again I don’t see it happening.
There is a nurse shortage unfortunately, so this problem of poor quality nurses isn't going away.
Interesting. I guess I never really imagined such trade restrictions were possible in the US.
It’s not quite distributed though, it’s concentrated into a few hands, and we can name those individuals. Those hands passed a tax bill in 2017 that sent 80% of benefits to corporations and the top 1% of Americans. It was the only major piece of legislation they passed after getting into power between 2017 and 2019. That was a choice as to how they used their power, and they used it to help the richest Americans. That’s what people mean when they say “the people who structure society”.

What the fuck? The social network is merely a magnet for the retarded dredges of our pathetic organization of organisms. You ban anything that is outside of the norm, have disdain for any dissent and still are unable to observe why your idiotic consent doesn’t manufacture new ideas?

In this reality, tension makes knowledge. Critical states, self-organized criticality. Fuck your money fuck your bans you dumb fucks are going to be condescended to now.

Why are only dumb people sensitive about being reminded of their position? LOL. Y’all are really clowns.
Yeah, a lot of this comes down to your epistemic position. Agree to disagree then. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Apple doesn't charge platform fees (well other than the annual developer fee) to zero monetary cost, ad supported apps, and they don't force you to use their ad system either.

But if you charge users directly, pay up?
So what you're saying is that I'm wrong if you change the definition of a word I used in my comment?

I tried something like this before with Netlify, but if it takes too long to upload, it will time out. In my case, we were converting the PokeAPI.co Rest API from a dynamic Python service to a static API that served simple JSON files, to cut costs. But there are so many Pokémon and so much associated data that Netlify couldn't handle it. We ended up going with Firebase, which seems to work pretty well.

https://pokeapi.co is a Rest and GraphQL API for Pokémon data, mostly used for educational purposes.
Right, but those CDC statements make it clear that the CDC is guessing and asking people to get vaccinated - not knowing if it's helpful or not.
The reality is that when you're trying to consume the firehose of information that is the internet, reading reliable sources that won't lie to you is very useful. Especially on subjects like law where there are a lot of subtleties and things that are outright wrong can sound very plausible.

I have no real opinion on the journalistic integrity of techrights, I do have opinions on groklaw being pretty close to the epitome of unbiased coverage (and it was shown in court that the author of groklaw was not a paid shill...).

Even if your vague insinuations about techrights and groklaw did have foundation, it would still just be a "whataboutism" argument. Someone intentionally producing misinformation is wrong no matter how reliable other people are. The fact that foss patents was paid was literally in court, and is an admitted fact (I'm loathe to links to fosspatents blog directly, so here's a link to a news article reporting on it with direct quotes: https://web.archive.org/web/20160825043319/http://www.dailyt...)

The land with the skyscraper would likely be in the middle of a city, and would certainly be worth more than a random acre in a rural area no matter how good the soil is.
In these cases though, they have not.

It would be a better argument to say that they've tested positive for covid-19 antibodies - but that's not what's going on here.

They're just anti-vax.
Congratulations! You discovered a gem of history-- it repeats itself. Look up theory of Anacyclosis.
Yeah it will but at least that's also a negative feedback too as the fuel heats up the neutrons appear to be moving faster on the average.
How about a law preventing you from tracking a person's location without their consent? What's wrong with that?

Most laws depend on the concept of intent already so its not like you would have to outlaw security cameras or anything to enforce.
It's a computer program. You're "mistreating" an equation.

Every organism has some physical compulsions that it needs to fulfill, and can in some real sense be mistreated by denying these needs.

There is no equivalent for anything that can be run on a turing machine. You can't mistreat an abstract mathematical concept.

Put another way, you could write out on paper the calculations that a chatbot is performing to select what it says. Is there some stack of writing on paper that would cause some kind of distress to the "entity" that would be embodies in that stack of writing?
How do you wish the outcomes of these legal enforcements to be like?

An authority with the effective power to cripple the finances and business practices of Google for the purpose of reducing its market share to an arbitrarily lower percentage would be immediately detrimental to furthering the development of Google's products, and consequently detrimental to the utility of its users, while in the longer term it wouldn't be obvious that conceding the lesser competitors to scramble for this stolen market slice would yield better alternative products, nor that users would ultimately benefit from having more lesser competitors.
I thought a big part of it was simply that many Wirecutter picks aren't very good. They are great for areas you aren't knowledgeable enough to assess on your own (and where it would be prohibitive to learn), or where you just need something that's not total junk.

But "not total junk" is a pretty low bar to clear, and that illustrates the fundamental problem of the Wirecutter: it's never going to be for the professionals, the ones who use objects day after day, long enough to form real opinions. Anyone who knows their field will always laugh at the Wirecutter's recommendations, if not the what then certainly the why.
I feel like if they tested positive for covid-19 antibodies, that might be a valid exemption - because it's a bit much to require vaccinations for them if we still don't even know that it makes much difference.
A lot of discussion here about productivity and flow of information.

For me, the biggest downside of remote was something less measurable: it's much harder to build rapport with people you can't hang out with. Even more so with people you've never met.

From the article:

> Our results show that firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts.

You could ascribe this clinically to "communication patterns" etc, but I think the deeper reason is that many of those "bridges" were friendships that stopped happening. This is a huge cost that goes beyond money or anything else you can put a number on.

Early in Silicon Valley history, there was a bar in Mountain View called the Wagon Wheel. Engineers from Fairchild Semiconductor, from Intel, Apple, other pivotal early companies would get beers after work. How many ideas do you think were hatched there, shared across department lines or between competitors? The Atari guys reportedly beta tested Pong by bringing it to the Wagon Wheel and watching people play.
For me at least, it seems like ways of customizing the browser are being systematically removed without being replaced with new ways to customize it.

User css and js, which were once first class are now very hidden and require messing with about:config. There's no way to prevent tabs from being on top. Many extensions are no longer possible Post-Quantum. And I do think switching to WevExtensions was the right move, but they've been slow in adding capabilities to make some extensions work as well as they did before. Removing compact mode (they added it back but behind an about:config flag). They removed SSB with no plans to ever add it back. True SSB didn't fully work, but I had high hopes that it could let me run web apps in a way that felt more native.

And part of my frustration is with the response. The reason for removing things is often "no one is using it." But then when people who show up saying they use it, and it is important to them, Mozilla generally either outright ignores them, or dismisses those opinions as invalid.

... if you assume people don`t read the message at all, but use a coin flip to decide if they should reshape it.

I cannot for the life of me fathom how anyone could make a model that completely ignores content quality in respect to distribution and then use that model to make a statement about average quality of content that gets distributed.

This really is the “sperical cow in a vacuum”equivalent of modeling social networks.
I haven't finished the article yet. I got sidetracked by the claim that Haldol is "a powerful sedative." I understand that journalists are neither doctors nor pharmacists, but if you're reporting on a story about medical ethics, maybe know a little bit about drugs, how they work, and what the words you're using mean in a medical context.

Haldol is a typical antipsychotic. If the patient has no symptoms that indicate its use, they should absolutely not be taking it. There's a lot of side effects. Some may even persist after the medication is discontinued.

One of these side effects is that it can be sedating. I've been on the patient side of a misapplied antipsychotic myself. They can make you very tired and cause you to feel "drugged". This is not the same as a drug being a "powerful sedative". Words mean things. Words in a medical context have specific definitions and nuance. If you're reporting on medical malpractice, it's important to get the vocabulary correct so that the way you word something represents the truth rather than a sensationalized version of it.

I can definitely believe that these people were medicated in ways that were dangerous to their health for the convenience of the staff. However, when you call Haldol a powerful sedative, I have to assume you're either trying to make the situation sound as horrible as possible or you have no idea what you're talking about.
If you think Techrights/BoycottNovell and Groklaw are not very slanted coverage then you're within the bubble and cannot see outside it. Also, one can be very slanted and biased without getting paid (rather no one can prove or disprove they got paid no one even knows the identify of the person(s) behind Groklaw).
Geez. I’m underestimating their intelligence? Have you visited the 3rd world? I have. Many times, and food+shelter is THE number one priority.
It updates too often, introducing yet more APIs that will be "deprecated" and re-implemented, forcing yet more incompatabilites.
That might be the fear going around - but it has zero basis in fact or science.

It would be like saying all women have stopped eating pineapple because there's a viral Facebook post going around telling people that pineapples cause infertility.

I actually remember three things about 9/12:

* I remember being the first one up to check if we had school that day (we did not).

* I remember counting the number of stories in the paper that day that did not involve the attacks.

* We had some Canadians staying with us that week, so we spent a large part of the next day comparing the events from an American versus a Canadian perspective. I distinctly remember one of the Canadians being salty about the international flights being diverted to Canada instead of the US.

[ Note: said Canadians had been planning to visit the National Mall on 9/11... needless to say, that visit did not end up happening. ]
