I too have some concerns about the privacy statements. It would be easy for an average person to assume that they are anonymous and hidden from all things - but this system using webrtc that exposes your IP addy to the person you are prank calling / harassing / threatening or whatever and this can be connected by more than just the person on the other end, but one may not assume such a thing when they read:

Video calling, with Brave privacy at its core

No tracking. No data collection. Nothing linking you (or anyone else) to a call. Period. With Brave Talk, your conversations stay private to you.

-----

Don't get me wrong, am really glad they are releasing this and I hope a lot of people use it!

I just think we need to educate the end users more about how even private / encrypted things are not tracking-proof .. the "No tracking" to you/me/brave may be 'no advertiser big fang tracking' in our mind - but that's not how it's written or read / understood by the average person I would guess.
You didn't memorize ten random digits. Area code, exchange, four digit extension is six things...

Area code was likely all the same, maybe 2-3 tops, and associated both with the following exchange and geography, and used extensively.

Exchange, also likely all the same, maybe 6 at most, and again likely associated with geography.
Using leaked source code to Nouveau is illegal whatsoever, and the mere existence of the leak means that devs have to more thoroughly audit incoming contributions. The similar thing happened for ReactOS in 2006; they had to audit all the existing source code for more than a year.
Autopilot is not as bad as you think it is, for one it does not stop abruptly. Thousands of drivers are using it regularly. Drivers report less fatigue and paying better attention to things that matter rather than keeping the car in line. Of course, there are some drivers that are not comfortable with it yet.

EU seem to have more stringent regulations - for example, to ensure that AI maneuvers will be less unexpected EU regulations put a hard rate limit on steering angle. Trouble with regulating at such level is that in some cases (curved roads, hazard avoidance) it makes the car less safe.

Overall, Level 2 systems, like Autopilot, are not autonomous and their performance depends in large part on drivers judgement. I think regulations need to focus on human - AI interface requirements a bit more.
I think Slavs historically tended more towards decentralized structure. So maybe communal in a small community structure.
One possibility is to move the wiki to different hosting that doesn't stuff ads everywhere. It can be done, and I've seen it done successfully. Fandom actually lets you export the full data for the wiki, migrating the community is harder than migrating the data.
Afghanistan was different enough in that it wasn't a unified Afghan government or population fighting against a Soviet invasion in the same style of aggression of what we're seeing from Russia in Ukraine. A new local Afghan government that had recently sized power in a coup begged the Soviets to help them consolidate power in a civil war in that the Soviets knew would only escalate through international intervention in favor of their allies opposition.

1. I actually don't know a single person who uses matrix. Half of my friends use Signal. Just one data point, but I've literally never had a reason to use or install it.

2. They are, though. Decentralized software necessarily moves slower because everyone needs to upgrade to add new features. Nobody is going to tell their mom to use an app where attachments only works a quarter of time (see: IRC).

3. Nobody is stuck with Whatsapp. My family stopped using it about a year ago. Most of my friends stopped using it a bit after.
They are generally further away and less western. Also, the countries involved are less powerful -- I suspect that if China were to attack another country, there would be similar hysteria because people apppreciate that they could be dangerous to us, too.
It was not clear to me that "the" solution didn't require all the tiles.

What else is there for the universe to know?
if the accused people in fact are, sure. and surely too many terrible people in fact deserve the accusation, but many don't, too many were/are characterised as such purely because they disagree publicly with official views on certain events.
If Snowden is some "terrible people" then ok I'm also a bad one and deserve the conspiracy theorist hat. Except that I disagree with the government's characterisation of Snowden (in his case danger for the nation) hence even also risk to be called something in the list, whatever fit my profile best.
At my company we have recently rolled out a new framework where the IC track has rungs that run parallel to middle management roles.

we're calling it "advanced professional", and has 3 levels, the highest being equivalent to the leader of a function, if you're familiar with the domain / function / specialty paradigm. This is essentially a director level individual contributor which I think is a pretty cool.

We're just a medium sized services company (localization, AI training data production, digital marketing). so if we're doing this I expect a lot of people will be soon enough.
That might be the only way to guarantee secure passwords across a platform/company. Of course, then you have to make sure people don't write it on sticky-notes under their desks...
The games industry has a lot of things in between state machines and neural nets. Since 2008, the craze has been goal-oriented AI planning (GOAP), which use a graph of states, and A* to pathfind towards a goal. And there's plenty of little tricks on top of this you can find in GDC talks. It's not without its tradeoffs though.

I've been saying this for years.

Whoever came up with the idea that passwords need to be regularly changed must be shot because no one has ever proved it makes any sense.

What it actually does is that people write passwords everywhere (papers, text files, etc), thus actually lowering their security.
There is some ambiguity in jhoechtl's comment. It isn't clear if they are saying they choose to routinely ignore the warning, or if they are saying that they would have to ignore the warning in order to routinely follow too closely and end up in a situation like was being discussed.

One of the site guidelines is to interpret a comment in the best possible way, so I am choosing to interpret it as the latter.
As someone who is newer in the industry, I can't say I feel the same. It was already fairly competitive when I was trying to get hired and now it is clear that huge numbers of people are getting trained for tech jobs and it is not clear that huge numbers of tech jobs will continue to be available.

That said, I don't think this is what a union is about. They provide a mechanism for workplace democracy that is far more powerful than the one you are implying some of us can get with the "fuck you I quit" attitude. Have you considered situations where people have less flexibility to change jobs because they have kids or a sick parent? Or how people could be protected from things like workplace harassment and discrimination? Or how you might just really care about the mission of a company and want to keep it on track?

The inherent nature of the institution of labour unions is about acknowledging what makes workers the same, even when they are different in many ways. People in power love when we view ourselves individually rather than as one large group because, when divided, we are easier to manage and exploit. You can simply admit that you are selfish and don't care about other people who haven't had it as easy as you have in this industry. But maybe you can imagine that there are many ways you could easily become less secure in your job and thereby understand the value of a union.
The problem with CC0 is it's very wordy and very legaleeze, which means I don't want to bother trying to understand it, and potential users won't either.

SVG filter interface:

We would really rather people use WebGL if you want fast/efficient filters. (I made a number of comments on that issue) As is, we're generally against this one for the time being

There's literally zero response on that from @mysteryDate who is now gaslighting Safari in the comment above, and presenting these API additions as fait accompli.

Honestly, at this point any time I see any public Chrome person write anything I immediately assume it's a distortion of reality at best and a blatant lie at worst. And this is always the case.

But sure. "Safari is the bad guy".
So are we at the point where we deny the Nuland thing every happened? None of this happened under the foreign policy of Trump. I support Ukrainian self determination but this is not what happened and even if it is it is not how Russia perceives which seems entirely reasonable.
Or even more niche in your outlier status if you could remember IPs of the commonly used servers without a DNS in place.

Most of the time, local networked IPs all start with the same values for the first 3 octets (maybe 2 if VLAN but then usually only one digit diff). The same was true for most people's local phone number memorized registry. Those of us old enough, we only had to dial 5 digits using (70s) the last number of the prefix before eventually moving to 7 digits to include the full prefix (80s). The world suddenly changed when we had to dial the entire area code as well (90s).
No minister or administrator made a decision to deny RT some license. All they did is to enforce in an indiscriminate manner German law. Other stations which broadcast without license would also be treated in the same way.

But the issue isn't the AI, it's the interface that the AI has to the game. Monkey drivers is a little absurd so let's stick to monkeys in the forest. A real monkey would probably climb the trees. But if the game doesn't have climbing mechanics, then its unlikely that the game devs are going to implement them just so that the monkeys can do this. Making a behavior tree to utilize available actions is pretty easy to do. It's the implementation of the animations, game logic, and environment to allow such things to happen.

Little things like letting an actor turn its head to look at things will make the AI feel more alive than a more advanced algorithm for behavior. And you definitely won't see any particular gains by trying to solve it with ML brains.
Not theory of mind but rather trial-and-error and seeking out and remembering what works. And maybe it's passed on from generation to generation merely by imitation.
I don't think it's unlikely at all. In fact, it probably is more likely that someone worse would step in since Putin hasn't exactly been training up any successors. So whoever fills his shoes will be inexperienced and would probably only have the support of a subset of the ruling elite. Viewing Putin as "nuts" is a bad mistake. He is a rational actor and very capable, the proof is that he is still in power. That doesn't mean he's a "good person" just that he is good at what he does.

> would still likely prefer to stop fighting putin's farce of a war because it just makes them look weak

You don't seem to understand the stakes here. Completely giving up on the war would make Putin or any other leader look weak and would undermine any credulity they have. If the war ends diplomatically Russia will have to gain something by it in order to satisfy both internal and external perception of them as well as their desire to secure themselves against perceived threat. A skillful and level headed leader might be able to negotiate this but an unskilled person newly entering a leadership position and being buffeted by internal forces would probably make the wrong choices and wind up with even more blood spilled.

Why would they dirty bomb their own land? If anything it's a reason to have already taken some materials offsite to dirty bomb Moscow later. Or for the invaders to threaten dirty bombing if they're about to be driven away (like they're already doing with their nuclear arsenal).
The war has somewhat been going on since 2014, with 15k dead in Donbass, fwiw.

CC0 isn't an OSI-approved license. (It was withdrawn from consideration around patent language concerns.) MIT-0 (or probably 0BSD now as well) is probably the closest you get to a public domain license to the degree that putting something in the public domain is recognized in a given jurisdiction.
Mass Effect was still a massive disappointment though. So many choices, but they all converge into the exact same endings instead of diverging into wildly different possibilites. It really only determines how optimized the outcome is, the result is still the same. The only way you can fail is if you literally choose to do so at the very last moment.

I see it as exactly the opposite.

Normally you would email users notifying them of a hack so they can change passwords since there was no password breach it doesn't make a lot of sense to email people, theres nothing for them to do.
> And yet that was the only presidential election in decades where the Republican candidate got the majority of the votes.

That election was 2004 of course. Reagan got 58.8% in 1984, so two decades prior (decades as you noted).

Obama got 52.9% in 2008. And prior to that for a Democrat? More than two decades prior, wherein Jimmy Carter barely scratched out a majority popular vote at 50.08% in 1976.

Lyndon Johnson of course got 61% in 1964. The monster that put us deep into Vietnam and wrecked the country got the highest popular vote percentage for the Democrats in the past century.

The two highest in modern US history, Lyndon Johnson and Nixon. What does it say about the people of the 1960s and 1970s? It says a lot of terrible things about their ability to judge character and make rational decisions.

In Ukraine, once the supply lines are cut, the main cities may fall. Once one city falls, the invaders will move on to other cities and start an avalanche effect.

My view is your existence doesn't spring from nothing, it springs from atoms that your mother ate, and that somehow agglutinate to form a body that hosts your brain, which in turn creates an illusion of consciousness that calls itself 'I', and that we call 'you'.

The atoms in your body and near it seem to conspire to keep this illusion of consciousness alive for a while, but then at some point the whole thing falls apart for some reason, and the illusion of consciousness disappears.

That illusion of consciousness corresponds for any given day to the particular arrangement of atoms in your body and near it (so that, if you had a machine which could exactly replicate the arrangement of atoms that constitute your self, then, you'd be able to completely clone yourself, a sort of second birth, if you will).

Anyways, call me a materialist.
What do you recon are the key points for people who don't have 1h to watch with subtitles. Specifically related to the nuclear power plant news from today.
Yeah no, it would be bananas to engage Russia directly. We engaged in plenty of proxy wars during the Cold War, we never went direct.
Oh I meant specifically avoiding those kinds of arbitrary locks and checks, by delineate I meant make two separate product lines to cater for the two different markets. My hope would be that miners would buy the one better for mining, taking some pressure off the graphics cards for graphics market. Imagine a "3080 Mining" card that has no monitor outputs, no huge memory reserves, no extra-curricular processing units. It should be much cheaper.

But perhaps miners would just buy both mining and non-mining cards, since it's not a zero sum purchase, every card added to the stack is worthwhile.
This is literally what I did at my last company, where we had to change our passwords every few weeks. It was so damn frustrating. I'd be fine memorizing a random string of text, but having to constantly change my passwords meant that I'd continuously get locked out until I did that.

For my own personal use, I just use a password manager + randomly generated passwords, but it seems corporations are so damn slow to pick up on these obviously beneficial things that they choose clearly antiquated standards instead.
This may help:

Have ~10KHz very weak tinitus in left ear, and ~70Hz stronger but still "weak" tinitus in right ear. That combined with feet/legs/hands parasthesia (vibrations mostly, aka mostly no pain). It gets seriously worse during hot summers (reached tinglings and cramps). Ruled "idiopathic" by the docs (MRI scans show nothing "significant") but back and neck seem to be the culprit. Found only one med effective on it, and that only for the first months once the med concentration in the body is "enough": Amitriptyline (dangerous stuff, 2 times I tought it was about to kill me, because it seems my current biology is very sensitive to it). Did stop taking it because of the side effects and worn out effectiveness over time (and like 0 effective during hot summers).
Impact, silence is the enemy: Falling asleep happens only when exausted, and intellectual focus is challenging. Usually, I am looking for locations with some some sort of "blank noise". When the parasthesia is too strong, I walk. Basically, only activities which are strong attention attractors are ok.
Mindset: Accepted my disability for the rest of my life after years of looking for the causes, and still monitoring any news about it.

Cops built a shadowy surveillance machine in Minnesota after George Floyd murder
One of the gate agents told me I must share a name with someone on a terrorist watch list early on. I have a common name as well so I figured that was it. Most gate agents thought nothing of it but being unable to get a seat assignment until near boarding meant I was stuck in the middle a lot. Several were awesome and took pity by upgrading me, but a few power tripping ones treated it like an interrogation. I can easily see how much worse it was for those with Middle Eastern names or appearance.
You're braver than I'll ever be. I'm wishing you and your family peace and safety.
Indeed. Recently my wife updated her google account password thinking she was updating the password from the game she wanted to play.

She only knew because I'm on the recovery password list and as soon I received the email from Google asked her to confirm.

Chrome doesn't support VA-API, so do not bother trying.

Some distributions do have Chromium builds with VA-API support enabled, but YMMV. Chromium uses X11 only and libva requires dri2, so it doesn't work under XWayland, which supports only dri3. (=> Chromium with VA-API works only in native X11 session)

Firefox does support VA-API. There was a period of time, when it did only under Wayland, but nowadays both X11 and Wayland should work. When running under Wayland, use the native version and /not/ via XWayland, because the same thing as with Chromium applies.
But you can’t speak for other people and your inheritors can do whatever they want.
