Yes but before the tech community was all fire for Firefox. IT-guys installed it on work computers, school computers etc. We would recommend it to our families and install it for our less techy family when they would need our assistance.

Firefox had the IT-sector with them. I think this does a lot for spreading the usage. Even just one IT-guy can probably give Firefox hundreds of users. Now, this is no longer the case and increasingly they have not only just been just as good or worse than chromium but they have gone out and actively angered a lot of their core user base with political things.

It is a fine browser, I haven't said anything else. It is the leadership that is bad. I would definitely be one of their strongest promoters if Brendan Eich were CEO.

But no, they kicked him out for a bs reason and employed a PC-dictator that fires most of the company and gives herself a promotion even though the usage is falling drastically.

Then they post shit like this:

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat...

https://book.mozillafestival.org/10-years-of-activism-commun...

and fund people like:

https://www.mozillapulse.org/profile/3116

If you consistently support specific political views it's not strange that the people who do not support these views will stop seeking them out and start recommending other browsers, how good Firefox may be doesn't really matter. They have turned Mozilla from a tech company to an activist company and now they will have to reap what they have sowed.
There's an "idea ticket" for it in IRCv3: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-ideas/issues/14
You can drink in rooms, bars and restaurants in hotels, home bars in Qatar. Police do check for drunk driving. Haven't seen too many drunk people, but I assume if you are not causing others to complain, you would be fine.
(1) We know that "pathological levels" does not always result in symptoms across many diseases. E.g. Plenty of people walking around with pathological levels of coronavirus are asymptomatic.

(2) Amyloid plaques are not the only thing that causes dementia. However genuine AD diagnoses are confirmed post mortem via autopsy and are typically assigned a BRAAK score (most large scale studies require plaque confirmation for cohort inclusion; i.e. AD definitionally requires amyloid presence).

(3) From the large datasets I've worked with, BRAAK score and AD age of onset are HIGHLY correlated. I'm genuinely curious to hear what biomarkers are more correlated.

(4) What is clear-er?

(5) Agree LOAD and EOAD are not identical diseases.

> why we should have whole Pride month about people's bedroom activities?

You make clear your prejudices with this "question". Pride isn't about "bedroom activities", rather it's about making it clear that we won't tolerate being told that we're not allowed to be who we are, that we're abnormal, or that we have to hide in the shadows because we make some people uncomfortable.

Cultures that try to suppress others have to be confronted and fought against - whether that's a white nationalist culture, Christian conservative culture, Muslim culture, etc.
I’m sort of just appalled watching the madness unfold. Ennui is probably a good word for it. Ennui for a past moral high ground (that is likely a lot smaller than we think given how much got ignored)

I'm not sure about Qatar, but many Islamic countries got around such regulations by introducing or tolerating "one night marriages". They just marry before having sex, and divorce afterwards.

Islam doesn't forbid men to have more than one wife simultaneously, so it covers even already married customers.

Under the policy, officers may give chase if they believe a person is committing or is about to commit a felony, a Class A misdemeanor such as domestic battery, or a serious traffic offense that could risk injuring others, such as drunken driving or street racing.

The title is kinda misleading.
The call-table functions also get inlined, so the advantage is shared by both approaches, and yet the call-table produces more efficient code (no cmp/jump traps to fall into...)

Great to see Wiener rising to support the human freedom to have sex.
And, turbines and fuel cells are also at ~40-60%. So, round-trip is a fair bit lower than that, as little as 25%. But it doesn't matter much. Efficiency is improving, and will be much better before anything depends on it.

That seems like it'd be google nerfing other browsers, they're pretty anticompetitive. If it doesn't work in FF and is still maintained I bet if you change the browser identity to pretend it's chrome it'd probably work.
Who's saying that they don't have them? Some are just punished for it. And the way they go about that is barbaric.
This. States that push such legislation are also likely to be corrupt. It's fine until you run into problems with someone that happens to be in power.
Java was the one language where I found TabNine to fall short. I think it’s a harder case for AI completions, because the existing story for editing Java is a lot less like editing text than other languages.

Let’s keep the conversation to the topic of the article.

It’s still unclear how Qatar will go about this, but looking at other countries in the GCC, there seems to be willingness to let things slide or setup up special zones.

I would expect some sort of World Cup village, that would be off limits to Muslim and serve alcohol and look the other way with regards to sex before marriage.

And it’s not like World Cup fans don’t regularly break laws about public intoxication and hosting nations usually let’s that slide. So why not Qatar on one night stands?

They must know what kind of crowd they are inviting, when the decided to spend billions and billions of dollars to prepare for the invites.

I doubt Qatar police is preparing for mass incarceration of football fans or that the organizers will be surprised at seeing drunk and horny fans.
I think it's mostly about having deeper pockets than being clever or original when it comes to A.I. (though these guys just got $15m fwiw).

But this is one thing that worries me about A.I speaking as an indiehacker.

Being scrappy won't soon cut it anymore. Right now you can bootstrap a solid product for $15K, at least a MVP. Soon with the amount of GPU and other resources required to train these models you'll need a min $1M budget and no amount of jugaad will be able to cut it.
I am not downloading an app to give you feedback.

Instead of giving the direct link, I would have appreciated a website that has screenshots, use examples, some form of documentation, etc.

If it were OSS, I would have liked a link to the repo.

If some of the conditions were met, I might have downloaded and tried the app.
> I absolutely love it, that the website is available over plaintext HTTP. (The maintainer(s) should consider honouring the Upgrade-Insecure-Requests header[1], so that modern browsers still get the HTTPS version.)

And browsers should honor HSTS sent over HTTP. And hstspreload.org should not refuse to include sites that maintain HTTP access instead of just redirecting to HTTP. And https:// should never have existed as a separate URL scheme.

It sucks that security advocates refuse to consider backwards compatibility even when for most websites the only attack they really need to protect from is malicious (US-based?) ISPs injecting ads, which should have been solved via legislation instead.
Let's make a game: you collect actual figures instead of just making shit up.
Of course some do, but there are just as many (and a bit more) that under perform. The average performance relative to the index matters.
Just a reminder from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

> The term "3 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. It is a commercial or marketing term used by individual microchip manufacturers to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density (i.e. a higher degree of miniaturization), increased speed and reduced power consumption, However, there is no industry-wide agreement among different manufacturers about what numbers would define a 3 nm node. For example, TSMC has stated that its 3 nm FinFET chips will reduce power consumption by 25 to 30 percent at the same speed, increase speed by 10 to 15 percent at the same amount of power and increase transistor density by about 33 percent compared to its previous 5 nm FinFET chips.

The same article states that transistor densities for Samsung 3nm will be 202.85 Million transistors per mm2 and for TSMC 314.73 Million transistors per mm2 so quite a big difference.

If the transistors were 2D and square then that makes Samsung's 3nm transistors actually 70nm, and TSMC's 56nm according to my maths!

But you have to first create a such a mask with some image software: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Filters-Guide#image-maskblend

This costs a lot of time and generates questions, for example what resolution should my mask image be? OBS doesn't offer even the simplest default shapes like a circle. This is annoying and makes OBS not suited for beginners and simple tasks.
That's subjective. Readability is one of Go's goals. Whether they achieved it depends on your preference.

What would “more foundational research on cures” look like? I do cancer research and, frankly, the work feels pretty foundational. I’m curious what you would change.

Also please note that cancer vaccines have been tried but have failed for a few reasons. First, cancer cells are quite similar to normal cells, so cross reactivity is a problem. So, a typical approach is to to target “neoantigens” which are mutated cell surface proteins that are only on cancer cells. Not all cancers have neoantigens and they can mutate to stop expressing the neoantigen. Also tumors can express proteins that suppress or evade the immune system. PD-L1 blockers target one of the ways tumors do this.

All that to say, it’s not like people aren’t trying this stuff. It’s just really, really hard.

Ten years ago was 2012. C++11 came out in 2011. Do you believe a big codebase like Chrome would be converted to C++11 less than one year after the spec was published? I find that unlikely but i never worked on such a big codebase so i wouldn't know.
I appreciate this kind of factual scrutiny. Although this article is focused mostly on PoW/BTC, similar problems exist for PoS chains. It's pretty ironic that a large percentage of PoS/staking nodes run on AWS.

Side note: Creating consensus mechanism resistant to Sybil attacks is arguably one of the biggest challenges in the DLT space. But I'm still optimistic, I see it as an opportunity to achieve something truly remarkable.

The Potato Hack
The chromium-only web is not google’s fault. It is a symptom of a body of web standards that has grown wild to the point of being all but unimplementable.

Building a browser for the modern standards-based web is effectively impossible, because it costs too much, takes too long, and requires a standing army to keep up with.

We are at an impasse. The standards cannot be deprecated because they are used all over the web, and because they are used all over the web a new browser maker has little choice except forking chromium or firefox. Even microsoft couldn’t afford to keep adding all the standards to their browser engine. Normally the solution for a messy overgrown implementation is a grand reboot. But we can’t do a grand reboot of the web because we cannot get rid of the legacy. The only viable strategy I see to have real browser engine diversity without giving up on compatibility is moving as much of the standards implementation as possible into JS modules, so new browser makers can start with a small engine that loads the publicly hosted standards modules.

I guess we can just agree to disagree here.

Regarding compiler vs IDE, I'd say that since it doesn't change the meaning of the code, just the depth of recursion, then IDE would fit better. Perhaps you could also ask for info on tail-call optimized functions from the compiler giving it a flag, but otherwise I don't think whether something was optimized or not doesn't matter much (depending on what you work on, of course).

AH now I see. The microphone output IS SO QUIET I can barely hear it. Google Meet doesn't have this issue.

Moreover, I was adding audio output capture and Desktop Audio mixer was hidden. So I adjusted output volume for 1 instance only and it was always so much louder (thinking mixer doesn't work), that I cannot hear mic. I figured the latter out that I don't have to add Audio Output Capture source explicitly and I can adjust that volume.

But my mic output is unusable.
Whataboutism won’t change the barbarity of imprisoning consenting adults for having sex or being gay.
I hope you can break from the the intellectual shackles that bind you. I hope you can visit other countries and read from sources of information outside your comfort zone. Subscribing to a belief about which system of economics you prefer does not make one evil.

Its wrong to jail people for having consensual sex. You can say its a cultural element, but it doesnt make it right. We have every right to criticize a culture/country/religion that allows things we find reprehensible. Trying to force that to change would be wrong, but events like this allow people to pretend like its fine. But its not, and thats why people are upset.
The article mentions that circuit 23 was found using an "exhaustive search", so presumably using an automated means.

But I don't think that works in the general case to find all "useful" circuits. For example figure 27 is a pA source and requires 2 precise control voltages and a clock source. 39 is a peak detector. Does not seem that easily encoded.

I usually brush aside these doomsday articles about crypto, but the linked article is really depressing:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-25/sam-bankm...

I remember nicer days when crypto had some value, and yes exchanges were already shady and did a lot of washing, but there was clearly a closer approximation to market sentiment and real world use cases. Nowadays everything seems to be revolve around derivatives, margin lending, yielding and staking to be margin lent again. The problem, IMO, might actually have been smart contracts.
Some might

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/uptown-squirrel/
But the technology doesn't actually work for anything useful (besides tax evasion). Cryptocurrency is a zero-sum ponzi scheme; for someone to win, others have to lose. With stocks, there are on average more winners than losers because new value is being created.
Samsung's big issue recently has been yield.

>Samsung’s issues with yield are concerning. It’s said that the yield of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 manufactured by Samsung Foundry is 35%. What that simply means is that out of the 100 pieces that are manufactured, 65 are defective. The yield for Samsung’s own 4nm Exynos 2200 is shockingly said to be even lower than this.

There is nowhere that you would operate at only 20% utilization.

Demand for ammonia will be so strong that, after enough renewable overcapacity is built out, you would run electrolysers off your other storage, 24/7.

A nuke would, of course, produce exactly zero grams of ammonia for ten years. It would also require burning coal for those ten years. Ten years of coal is part of the cost never accounted for, like the public indemnification subsidy, and cost of decommissioning.

Starting after the ten years, the nuke would produce a fraction of the ammonia, per dollar, that the renewables would have, because operating cost of nukes is quite high, against zero for renewables.

> Small area means less space to put large prisons on it - which means punishment moves to more corporeal and less incarceration

Did you just make it up?
Well, this line of reasoning will end up going Godwin in a hurry.

But for entertainment value, to make a different argument against moral relativism: A higher proportion of people from Qatar would like to e.g. live in Europe than the proportion of Europeans who would like to live in Qatar, and vastly higher if we take relative social standing into account.

I'm sure there are plenty of ethical questions where a hypothetical, neutral outside observer would have trouble choosing. There are more ethical question where the neutral outside observer would easily be able to discriminate what cultural traits they preferred, while at the same time understanding why those sub-optimal cultural traits came to be and play a role in that particular society. Imagine sexual mores in a society with no birth control, lots of hard labor and the preference for peaceful succession due to early accumulation of capital (farms), for instance. It's easy to understand what role traditional and restrictive morals has in such a society, while at the same time acknowledging that living within the morals of such society would be a giant step down in quality of life.

So that's the complex argument. But that all ethics is generally speaking relative from a human perspective, can be trivially disproven by pointing out ethical standards that almost all societies except those that have them will find repugnant. Consider e.g. genital mutilation or institutionalized child abuse.
