> I won’t pretend to be the expert on all things related to forms

Indeed. All of the issues the author is experiencing can be easily fixed with simple and readily documented javascript methods:

> When the number input contains an invalid value and you retrieve the value, you get a blank string

> Valid numbers include more than just digits (i.e,. scientific notation like the letter e).

> Different browsers accept different characters

Use inputElement.valueAsNumber and stop worrying.

If you send the form unaltered (that is, without intercepting the submit event), use a custom validator.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputEl...

> Min/max limits can be bypassed

Use frontend validation, e.g. inputElement.validity

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Cons...

There are plenty of weird form elements out there, but input type=number is actually one of the better one. But the author is definitely very right about one thing:

> You should only use the number input when dealing with mathematically relevant numeric values

Mathematically relevant might be to strict. I would say that if ordering the numbers makes sense, then input type=number most likely makes sense as well. If your data is simply represented by a number (e.g. zip codes; 90210 < 98112 is a weird statement) input type=number is the wrong choice.
I have been living with similar thoughts for most of my life and it's been keeping me somewhat unhappy. My mere existence results in plenty direct and collateral damage. Big animals, small ones, microscopic. Growing plants kills other plants, etc. Eating cheese and even bread is not exactly vegetarian.

I might be mellowing down to a wimp.
Pedestrians shouldn't be anywhere near roadways imo, but that's a whole other discussion
“gift”
Honestly, the whole thing makes me wonder if we can use this to generate CAPTCHAs. I don't think a human would have trouble picking out which image was the lightbulb surrounding leaves, but apparently AI still does.
I am OK with separating it out. It's much easier to manage for a larger number of clients though. That's why!
Caddy did better than I expected. It’s a great piece of tech. I wonder if they could mitigate the GC issues without leaving Go behind?
What? No that's not what I said at all.

People are using Ethereum, they are paying transaction fees to use it. Those fees mostly do not go to stakers, they are mostly burned. Even if that weren't the case, it's not even close to a ponzi because the stakers aren't paid out by future stakers, they are paid out by diluting everyone and via fees for usage.

Also to address your second point, I'm not saying that, but that would not make it a ponzi at all. Art has this property, art isn't a ponzi.
"Give it back to local indigenous groups" is an entirely different thing from "Give it back to Mexico".

What is now California was never controlled by what is now Mexico until the Spanish colonizers showed up. The Aztecs (who were themselves brutal colonizers, as it happens) weren't running the show there or anything like that.
450 THz electromagnetic waves are unambiguously red light, you can nitpick about the shade of red, how people perceive it, etc... but it is red. It may look differently to colorblind people, or dogs, but it is red. The electromagnetic spectrum of frequencies just lower than red is called infra-red, don't tell me that physicists don't talk about infrared.

If you look up some colors in Wolfram-Alpha you will have precise ranges of frequencies, I am not sure they are officially defined ranges, but colors, at least pure colors correspond to physical quantities.

There is some overlap with biology, and there are some colors are special (brown, purple, ...) and can't be defined by a single frequency. Then you can introduce color perception, and how very real and physical red photons are perceived as red, why a combination of red and green photons are perceived the same way as yellow photons and how spectrometers reveal the difference, and how there are no purple photons.

Composite colors are a bit more complicated, you need to add a bit of math (namely, a color space) in order to formally define them from physical quantities, but saying that it is not a physical concept is going a bit far.

No need to make physics more abstract than it is. Because what's next? Temperature is not a physical concept because we don't all agree on how hot something is? Like color, temperature is a well defined physical concept that is based on our perception.
No; attacks on US service members and bases in war zones are often called terrorism. The term has absolutely become overly broad.
> Perhaps. Is that a necessity of ordinal voting

Necessary? No. Likely? Yes. This depends on if the candidates are included in the ranking or not. So for example, if we had 10 candidates and you rank your top 5, then no this wouldn't happen. But if you rank your top 10, then yes. But if you limit your ranking then some votes don't get counted because their top 5 don't make it past the first 5 rounds.

> The reason to drop this information is because it's often garbage

This is a pretty strong claim that needs strong evidence to counter. Especially considering there's lots of works demonstrating the usefulness of this information.

> In our example, the strongly Republican voter probably actually wants something like this:

If the voter truly has no preference of Romney over Biden, then yeah, that makes sense. And you can't really express this in an ordinal manner. You can only do: Trump > Romney > Biden. Cardinal systems you can do any of the following: 1) Trump > Romney >> Biden, 2) Trump >> Romney > Biden, 3) Trump >> Romney = Biden, 4) Trump > Romney = Biden. There's a whole slew of permutations that are available at no additional cost (I'd actually argue the cost is lower because `argmax(reduce_sum(candidates))` is a hell of a lot easier than `while [candidate_votes < 0.5].all() pop(lowest_score)`). I'm not sure why you're convinced that these permutations are "garbage".

> Another point is that we shouldn't conceive of candidates as passive observers

This is a point that has not been ignored and I'm not sure why you think I am ignoring this. I've stated numerous times that no system is immune to strategies. I am specifically INCLUDING this parameter. I've made zero claims that cardinal systems are impervious to strategies and manipulation. I have made claims about the effectiveness of this manipulation being reduced but reduced is not dismissal.

> Most Republicans have Biden > Sanders > Warren

To be clear, it is easier to simulate a ranked system FROM a cardinal system than the other way around. In fact, ordering candidates in a cardinal system is perfectly valid and will become equivalent to an ordered system. You are also perfectly valid to vote {Trump >> Biden > Sanders = Warren, Trump >> Biden = Sanders = Waren, etc}. Those votes are all valid and none are considered "a bug."

To be clear, in an ordinal system you CANNOT given Biden, Sanders, and Warren an equal score (of 0 or any value) unless we limit the number of candidates a voter is able to rank (which is necessary for large elections, but comes with a lot of other problems and may be unconstitutional).
bunny.net keeps coming up, that's great! any takes on CacheFly?

Nothing "just" about that. Right click -> open in MPV is low friction. Launching MPV, arranging your windows so that both MPV and the browser is visible at the same time and then doing a drag-and-drop is much higher friction.
The Hold for Me and Direct My Call features for Pixel's Phone app both use Duplex models running locally on your device, and those features are quite popular. I think that counts as significant progress by any measure, so your point doesn't hold in this case.
Holy moly you've converted my little idea into a lovely demo! Thanks for showcasing this and sorry to be slow to notice.
The train is capable of regen braking... But frequently the infrastructure is not. A train braking can be many megawatts of power, something that can't be dumped on the electricity grid of a small town without a bit of planning in advance.

So, where capacity to dump the power can't be certain, regen braking isn't done, or is at least limited.
I still remember YouTube ramping up ads starting at the beginning of lockdowns in 2020. It was the first time I was seeing double unskippable ads and 14 second ads.
> It absolutely does matter

You literally did not read my comment.

I just explained why it doesn't matter:

> the fact is that there are several other games that look better and run much better on the same hardware

...and you completely ignored it without providing a single counterargument.

That is existence proof that that hardware, weak as it is, is more than capable of providing that performance for that graphics quality.
I can't proactively share specifics about a business, but in this case, they operate in a regulated space. The banks and card networks we work with require some extra checks due to the prevalance of scams in this space. A reviewer on our team flagged the business, and admittedly, we weren't very clear about what was required in order to continue working with us. After talking with OP today, we re-enabled the business.

1. Tomorrow we're regrouping with the team to see how we can improve our processes to prevent a similar case from happening again.

2. We're working on a new version of the Stripe Connect dashboard right now. There will be much more detail on which connected accounts are restricted and how to resolve the issues. We want to release it soon and I think it’ll provide platforms better visibility into the state of their accounts.

I mentioned DALL-E and Copilot in my post, so I'm not sure why you're linking me to a article summarizing recent high-profile research in large language models...
The problem with that idea is that PCI compliance doesn't just include the software you're running, but the infrastructure you run it on, various elements of organisational security and, of course, certification costs.
Yes, but so are an awful lot of other things. Animal rights and environmental activists have been frequently tagged with that term, even when engaged in nonviolent protest.

It worked for me? Either something changed in the past five minutes or one of us messed up. I did the first link as the article mentions, not the second. That could also be the issue.
That's one of the nefarious reasons, not one of the optimistic ones.
Yeah, I can see that distributed generation of a single image would be challenging, but from what I've seen it's very common to generate dozens or hundreds of independent images, then have a human select the best ones.

There's no need for coordination in that case.
There is no need to re-capitalise. It’s all opex if you want account for it accordingly.
Google has permanent free tier that is perpetual too.

It depends on what you mean by "technology" and "exists."

A research project at Google intentionally won't render people. Maybe it could render people, theoretically, but without evidence, we don't know how well.
These reads to me as: Haven for asian bot farms.
Companies like Facebook go out of their way to try and show that they are protecting their users privacy. For example Facebook has a transparency report disclosing requests from governments: https://transparency.fb.com/data/government-data-requests If they are actively sending data to governments without a forced legal request then this is very much a story.
It seems like no :( I'm a big fan of the auto layout feature in Figma and Framer, in fact I've started getting the designers at my workplace to use it in lieu of fixed pixel values. Would love to switch to a FOSS solution, but that one missing feature is a blocker for me, for now.
Ah true, maybe they have higher operating costs on pantograph and/or the power lines maintenance?

(I don't fully believe GP's comment of "The engineer that can solve this problem will allow top speeds in the range of 400/500 kph on /existing/ TGV tracks.", as narrow turns is probably a bigger contraint than the pantograph problem. Maybe a few of the more straight lines can benefit, but there's more constraints to solve before taking turns at 400/500 kph!)
Compared to UK trains the TGV is half the price, twice the speed and double the legroom and cleaner. TGV standard class seats are as good as the First class seats on the West Coast main line.
Put it in a museum in India.

Yes, it might piss some off, but this idea of keeping the status quo (keeping it with the British) because it is complicated is ridiculous.
> Another thing to note is that in cardinal voting systems the candidates have a big interest in strong negative advertising against the opposition.

This is stronger than plurality or ranked? Ranked encourages you to run opposition ads against your in-party competition (see favorite betrayer) because ordinal systems do not account for the strong spoiler effect (only the weak spoiler effect).

I'd also strongly encourage you to read up on the Monotonicity Criteria[0]. It seems your last two comments are acting under the assumption that IRV passes this criteria.

We know the boundaries of each empire, and can make guesstimates of each population. Weigh each claim by how long they held it, and the population of each historic state at the time, not the modern successor state. So the centroid of "ownership" would move across South Asia over time (I doubt a weighed centroid would ever leave South Asia). Advance the clock, and the centroid would advance from Southeast India to the north over time. Once the clock reaches the point at which the British ransomed it from Duleep Singh, award it the successor state of wherever the centroid is.
Yes it would be sad if it were totally gone but let’s not imagine that it’s great living in a super foggy place where you lose the ability to appreciate the natural beauty of your neighborhood. The foggiest parts of the city also generally have the worst weather overall. I’m sure there are some people that really like it but generally speaking it’s not desirable to have high winds and dense fog.

... mentions these values and links a paper they wrote, I suspect it isn't the 2014 paper I was thinking about but it's on the same topic.

The good news is that in the years after this work, I believe the rules were tightened up, there's a good chance if you buy a brand new EMV terminal the people testing it wouldn't have accepted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as a series of "Unpredictable numbers", so crooks today are less likely to be able to exploit this, and more likely to get caught.

The bad news is that courts remain very easily persuaded that banks know what they're doing, and expert witnesses who can make it clear that the bank have no idea what they're doing and shouldn't be trusted more than a typical citizen are expensive. If it ends up being your word against a bank, the court is probably going to believe the bank.
Debris can be caused by defunct companies that put sats up when this all wasn't a concern.

Also, deorbiting a sat at end of life is one thing, but deorbiting debris from an accidental collision (or an intentional one, just not intended by the sat's owner!) is a completely different thing. Companies do plan for end of life sat deorbiting, but it's hard to ask them to plan for unintentional collision debris deorbiting.

Paying for debris cleanup could be a thing that new sat deployment could be required to have covered, but without first knowing the cost of debris cleanup, it's hard to charge enough. Debris cleanup has never been done, so we don't know the cost of it! Also, if the government were the escrow agent, you know the money would just be spent, so the escrow would have to be a private entity.

Lastly, a lot of debris in orbit is due to anti-sat missile testing by nation states, so you're really asking them to clean up their debris.

But ranting is more fun?
You appear to have skipped over two links? And the LLM article goes well beyond DALL-E and Copilot. You should try reading it.
I was trying to find it but can't... I thought it was on Planet Money but might not have been. I'm pretty sure it was a program on NPR because that and college radio are about all I listen to on the radio, and it wasn't a podcast.

I wish I could remember the details better. They were focused on small business owners, retail mostly. I think they started out with an interview of someone with an interior design-related business.

I guess you're technically correct, but the task you're describing isn't generating an image from a prompt. It would be to maintain context across distinct-but-related statements based on an internalized model of reality. That's like discounting the advent of the calculator because you still need an accountant.
> Patagonia will continue to contribute to fast-fashion...

OK, this is just wrong.

"Fast fashion" has a meaning -- it's about duplicating high fashion or celebrity fashion cheaply and quickly and mass-marketing it with a lot of turnover.

That's not what Patagonia is doing, either by its actions or by its advertising. They have sold a line of fleeces, baggy surf shorts, and rain shells for decades now. The designs improve and refine and slowly morph, but they are largely the same.

I still wear a Patagonia purple ultralight rain shell that I bought in the 1990s. It's very similar to [https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-houdini-windbreaker-j...].

These items have long life (both as durable clothing articles, and as purchasable items in the catalog) and aren't really mimicking runway/celebrity trends at all. They are the opposite of fast fashion, along several axes. A significant part of their website is devoted to promoting older clothes, and selling used clothes, e.g. https://www.patagonia.com/stories/worn-wear/, and https://www.patagonia.com/stories/dont-buy-this-jacket-black... .
what shows how low level these models still are is that they don't seem to be able to draw text on a surface. It's generally just nonsense. Going higher in abstraction like asking for permanence of distinct entities or world knowledge, like having a player face the basketball hoop is several levels above that yet.

I think that puts pretty severe limits on what you can do with it because in a videogame, a comic strip or basically any piece of sequential art you need to keep track of characters and environments as objects.
> The inputmode abstraction is better than the type abstraction

No. inputmode has no localization, or validation.

If your locale uses period as a decimal mark, but mine uses a comma, you can type "42.5" while I type "42,5" and they are both the same numbers (both evaluate to 42.5). You also get localized front end validation for free if you use type=number, but you’ll have to implement it your self with inputmode.
> (why are they exempt from taxes during record high inflation)

(Because we pay taxes to the crown, doesn't really make sense for the king to pay tax to his majesty's own revenue and customs, HMRC. That said, there was something in the accension council about continuing to volunteer tax on something or another, and as the Duke of Cornwall he volunteered tax on duchy income. My understanding is that the royal family is a net contributor to state coffers even without (how would you even begin) accounting for all the tourism income.)
Most of my credit cards will without a fee on my side, based on my understanding.

Sure, I'm not paying dollars necessarily, but that's how it's treated on my side. But I never used my ccs in person overseas yet
Yes, but African Greys also have among the largest brains of all birds.

You can't necessarily compare bird brains to whale brains, but within birds (or really any similar class of animal) neurons seems to directly correlate with perceived intelligence.
No it isn’t, in fact private companies are encouraged (and in some cases required) to have an affirmative action policy in place.

The thing you think affirmative action means “hiring less qualified employees because of their race” is illegal. You can’t base your hiring decision on someone’s protected characteristics but you are totally free to base other things on that.

Here are some anti-* takes that are totally legal.

* Someone you’re interviewing is Latino that has only worked on small projects or small features and when asked about it they expressed that they always asked to be given bigger projects but was always turned down. You get the feeling that this was likely due to his race and so you don’t hold it against him.

* You’re interviewing a trans woman who recently quit her job while not having anything lined up. She describes the last few months as suddenly having her workload increase, her code reviews getting more critical, and her pto being denied that never had before. By your estimation it seems like she was quiet fired because of her gender alignment and so you don’t consider it a red flag.

* You have the unfortunate task of needing to drastically cut payroll expenses and finance says it will be around 20% of the workforce. You talk to your senior staff and managers to recommend low performing candidates and collect metrics like cards worked and performance reviews. You’re reviewing a woman selected for termination and notice that she seems to be closing more cards than some of her male teammates which is odd, and when you dig into the PRs they’re fine, she’s seemingly not taking on easier work, and from the comments her teammates seem to love her. So you ask the manager’s manager and find out that she’s very much a girls
girl and usually passes on the “boyish” team building activities that always get voted on like doing a work fantasy league and fishing. You think it’s pretty clear what’s going on and pick someone else from that team.
Let's not mistake laws for ethics.

At bottom, there are people. A group of them will sometimes call themselves a government. The ethical understanding of the actions undertaken by people ("ought to behave") doesn't need to change based on whether they claim to be a government or not, or claim to be operating within the law.

Trail of Tears? Japanese American internment? Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo Bay detention camp? The fact that these were actions of a country does not stop us from saying that they were wrong, and yes, absurd given the self-righteous pomposity of my and other western governments who pretend to be special defenders of liberty.
Why does anyone put up with ads? Install uBlock Origin → no ads.

Also, if you install SponsorBlock then at least for popular videos you will probably never see an ad from a video creator either. You can even have it skip self–promotional segments (Subscribe Now!), repetitive animations and intro sequences, credits, previews, etc.
