The algorithm which encourage subscribers binge watch shows really ended up hurting the product. The problem isn't just market saturation; we also run out of content that's going to be entertaining for users. This is basically the law of diminishing marginal utility. Netflix's shouldn't have copied YouTube in this case. A kind of system where users felt in control when to stop watching should've been put into place.
pdfTeX does not use your system fonts. It will not even load TrueType or OpenType fonts, but usually uses Type 1 fonts. Fonts for LaTeX come bundled with your TeX distribution like TeX live (on my Arch system present in /usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/).

If you want to use system fonts you should have a look at Lua(La)TeX (or Xe(La)TeX but I think focus shifted completely to the LuaTeX engine).

Under US law, you’d likely be covered by fair-use so long as you’re reporting on the tweet as a news-worthy event (versus, say, asking for lols).
How are you supposed to prove the tweet actually happened if you just post a screenshot? It's trivial to forge a screenshot of a tweet to say whatever you want.
I've never had my name dragged through the mud on twitter or anything but I'm super glad knowing that if I do make a mistake I can delete it rather than having it immortalised on the internet to be used as a weapon against me forever.

I have no idea how school/board/us/system/it/student thing works so I won't speak to 'how do I get rid of spyware' and 'can I call the police'. It is improbable you can. Like, where I work, if I want to use my work mail with my android phone, my IT mandates I have a remote-wipe installed ... I am hopeful, that the androids work profile keeps the work-it separate from my personal browser history, but I can live with it.

What I would do, is give my kid their own google account. I assume they don't need 'shool-mamaged-chromebook', just 'a computer that can access Google Classroom'. Then, after running the chromebook with your own account, your kid should still be able to log in with the school account in browser, without handing over admin privileges.

Comparing Gwern's to your website is really interesting. I'd argue, Gwern's website is a good example of minimalist design, whereas the website you posted is the opposite.

To me, minimalist design is as little design as possible (Dieter Rams). All design elements need to serve and enhance usability/functionality of the product. That doesn't mean that the total functionality of something needs to be minimal. E.g. you can still have tags, recommended articles and a comment section.

In the website you posted, I see design elements that don't serve the usability of the website, but are there just for design sake. E.g. the background image, the colour of the toolbar or the right alignment of the text
Would it have been better if Twitter had announced this change and made the change only for the new tweets and left the existing ones as is?
Looks we need something server-side to fetch content from twitter/etc. once when article is published and then serve that copy.

I can see the publishers unhappy and actively obstructing such a solution though.
So your observation is spot-on, that a subreddit community will produce unbalanced opinions due to groupthink. Likely true of any active community forum that would give recommendations such as this.

However, if I was looking for recommendations about a good taco place when visiting San Diego, I would bet that the groupthink recommendations of an active San Diego subreddit would be vastly superior to what you'd get on Google.

Unfortunately, this points to gamification of reddit recommendations as being a major target for the same folks wrecking web search results with their SEO blogspam garbage.

Have been pondering a lot about this. There is no answer. Only the answer to yourself and your preferences but the question is: "Do you want success?" or "It is expected of you to be successful".

Sigh ... gobolinux solved this quite elegantly over 20 years ago, and to this day most folks don't quite grok how simple and elegant their solution was.
There is no evidence to suggest this. GrapheneOS has multiple systemic privacy and security improvements over the stock OS (e.g. hardened_malloc, toggleable network permission, exec spawning), so it's a much harder target to develop a working exploit for when compared to devices running the stock OS.

If you play the loterry for an infinite amount of time, eventually you're going to guess the winning numbers. I think it's the same thing with us. Our existence is just a product of an infinite lottery on multiple levels. We probably needed an unimaginable amount of planets "brewing" in all corners of the universe for an unimaginable amount of time until a planet succeeded in making and supporting sentient life. But, the environment in which planets can form and be stable is also not given. Maybe it took billions of "generations" of universes until this one appeared. I imagine there is also something more fundamental behind the universe(s), and it probably also had to go through a ton of generations until it generated the concepts of space and time.

To sum up, I think we are nothing more than weird temporarily stable regions dependent upon other temporarily stable regions in the sea of white noise.

Anecdotally, from my experience, it was like an antidote or a brain reset.
> But above all, "pseudoscience" is something different and is certainly not the right word to describe this issue of terminology.

The definition of pseudoscience is "a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method."

Arguably the idea that neural networks reproduce how brains work is pseudoscience.

In the very least, it's a deeply misguided marketing blurb. It's now considered a metaphor, just like the ones driving some corners of the artificial intelligence field.
Write and keep writing. Find the connections between the disparate fields.

You have to write your thoughts down because you'll have so many you'll forget them.

Buy a bunch of lovely notebooks and coloured pens and write all your thoughts. Your thoughts and how you write will change over time.

I did nothing but write in my note books under the heading 'Thoughts and Feelings' for 10 years or more based on some advice a therapist gave me a while back.

Also going to see a therapist is fun if you have lots of thoughts. They're like a 3rd party interested in psychology who is paid to listen to your thinking out loud. Sometimes they can listen to your random collection of words and thoughts that pour out of your mouth and find a kernel or thread that runs through it all.

Maybe Google should start a new thing, a "search engine", which actually searches (rather then guess, anticipate, and interpret).
Irresponsible is a bit rich, I have no responsibilities owed to twitter. Perhaps ignorant would be fair. I am not exactly floored by those releases compared to the team size, but it does show they're not twiddling their thumbs. As mentioned in another comment, they might be a bit inefficient at the size they are now, and the responsibilities they have to internal operations aren't particularly obvious to outsiders.

You guys may consider my comment as begging for down-votes but why to chose so lowball content only? Among the disciplines the topicstarter has chosen there is only one which may be awarded with Noble prize (Economy) and at least one which is considered harmful quasi-science (Religion). There is no any STEM and the formulation of the question does not seems like, for example, topicstarter has learned Economy and discover Bitcoin, or has learned Philosophy and discover Stoicism, or has learned religions and discovered Atheism. That begs one question:

Tageschau (extremely reliable source) says

> Da die Gazprom Germania GmbH jedoch kritische Infrastruktur betreibe, müsse jeder Erwerb durch einen Nicht-EU-Investor vom Ministerium genehmigt werden. Unklar sei, wer wirtschaftlich und rechtlich hinter den beiden genannten Unternehmen stehe. Zudem habe der Erwerber "die Liquidierung der Gazprom Germania angeordnet, was, so lange der Erwerb nicht genehmigt ist, nicht rechtmäßig ist".

(Use Google Translate etc.)

So the sale had to be ratified by the ministry, which didn't happen. Gazprom ran afoul of the law, the government stepped in and took over temporarily.

But of course this is the internet, the more radical nonsense you spread, and the more emotional outrage your project, the more clicks you get...

GrapheneOS doesn't automatically connect to Wi-Fi either unless you enable the option. It also has per-connection MAC randomization enabled by default so Wi-Fi is essentially anonymous when you use it anyway.

> you can't tout it *and say it's privacy preserving.

Why? Sandboxed Play Services has no special privileges on GrapheneOS and thus has the same level of access as any other app. How can it invade your privacy if you don't explicitly give it access to private information?
I am 100% convinced that this does not just kills work life balance, but is also utterly ineffective.
If sending the email is mission critical you could start a transaction, update the DB, send the email, commit the transaction. Maybe slightly better is: start the transaction, update the DB, put the "send email" job in a job queue, commit the transaction. And the job queue takes care of sending the email, retrying on fail, notifying the admin if sending the email keeps failing etc.

It's a video pushing a whole bunch of clearly fabricated stories and libel about me. The leader of the Calyx Institute and multiple project members have also participated in this abusive behavior. They've tried to pretend as if their highly abusive behavior isn't real and is simply imagined. Techlore's video shows a series of doctored screenshots with him lying through his teeth about the history, context and content of the screenshots. He very openly gets pleasure out of directing his toxic community to harass me and teaching them to push these talking points about me being schizophrenic, crazy and delusional. You're spreading highly abusive and libellous content. The person claiming we're toxic is the one who is an abusive sociopath engaging in character assassination and running an abuse campaign against someone because they take great pleasure in abusing someone on the autism spectrum who gets extremely hurt by their behavior and this harassment campaign.

Nicolas Merrill and other Calyx Institute employees have extensive involvement in this. Nick has repeatedly tried to claim that I'm crazy and delusional. Today, Nick openly tolerated and showed his tacit support for ongoing raids on our rooms. Multiple people currently involved in massive raids on our room alternating between spamming extreme gore and libel were openly bragging about it in the Calyx room. He was there and perfectly happy to allow it. He has openly engaged with people repeatedly insulting me, harassing me and saying that I should kill myself. It's not the GrapheneOS community engaging in a misinformation / libel campaign across platforms and this highly toxic / abusive behavior.

https://twitter.com/GrapheneOS/status/1511593168667611139

I can link a whole bunch of other Twitter threads and archives about this but I currently need to deal with these ongoing raids on our room by CalyxOS.
In my opinion, yes. I think that would be much better and more responsible. Are they a business or a political entity? Businesses need to be reliable

The Pentagon includes the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world. They also are providing military intelligence to Ukraine that, according to many sources, has proven to be very valuable in countering the Russians. But they have no intelligence that can corroborate the Ukrainian version in this case. I find that highly relevant. I don't understand what distance has to do with it, given that it's pretty obvious the Pentagon has intelligence officers on the ground in Ukraine.

A video is hardly conclusive evidence, especially in a conflict where both parts have a strong interest in pushing out their own narrative.
Hey HN,

I'm Achraf, creator of Curated for Pocket.

I was struggling to keep up with all the content I follow and just as many platforms to read it:

- newsletters in my inbox
- new blog posts in my RSS reader (Feedly)
- saved links in Pocket

So I built withcurated.com to bring all these sources into a single place: my Pocket list.

If you are an avid (internet) reader like me, give it a shot and let me know what you think!

PS: saving Twitter threads to Pocket is in beta if that's your thing too!
I'm not really sure which Battlefield you're referring to as "tactical team-based shooter" but it was never any Rainbow Six (3), Swat 3, ARMA or Operation Flashpoint, games I'd consider actual tactical games in the 2000s. Battlefield has always been a bit arcade-y, not not as much as Call of Duty.

Australia to develop hypersonics through AUKUS
Just FYI, sentry is error capturing and reporting tool, not "telemetry". It could be potentially abused to collect "telemetry", but there are far better tools for that so it'd make little sense IMHO. I've used it extensively for error management in a previous job and it worked very well, correlating with env, release, etc. and it was great ( it was the self-hosted version, but still). Not affiliated in any way, just a happy "customer" ( never paid so not really a customer).

The worst example being media organisations. Why would you cede any remaining semblance of journalistic authority by cheaply embedding tweets into a news article. Handpicked commentary from a narrow part of the internet does not constitute an expert opinion, nor does it lend you any credibility. If anything, it lets me know that I’m seeking news in the wrong place. The short term gains, if there are any real ones, seem to be obviously outweighed by the negative impacts to your reputation as a news organisation.
hmm. Personally i think when u delete a tweet, you should not be able to embed it. If you changed your mind about a tweet, you should be able to decouple it from your account. If people want to refer to tweets, how about a screenshot? It's safer, faster and cant 404 when twitter is down.

And i think the whole "they edited my page" statement is ridiculous. You EMBED a part of twitter into your page. You know it can change. If you embed a youtube video, and the owner deletes it, it wont play anymore. obviously.
Gotta love the state of today where "I need to solve a basic state-execution flow" translates to "Let's pay a third-party service to do it".

> bear their own problems

Sure, but these problems were anticipated in the design of, certainly later, HTML specs. One example: the ALT text tag for images, which has been part of the spec since at least HTML4, originally published as a recommendation in 1997.

Every image on your website(s) should have ALT text to be screenreader friendly and, if it doesn't, that's on you: it doesn't make using images an inherently bad or accessibility-unfriendly idea.
