I believe they do not alter the colour in the region being focused on, they're trying to take advantage of the fact that our peripheral vision is primarily rod-based, and thus unable to discern colour.

So in theory, assuming the display can keep up with eye movements, it should never show you a tightened or limited colour range that you are actually capable of detecting through your eyes.

I suspect it'll be subtly detectable in a couple of ways though, either through rapid eye movements (though I admit I have no clue how fast eye tracking/screen response can be), and secondly (more confidently) that your nose will shine green in the reflected glow of all the green pixels they're cleverly shining where you can't see them directly, and you can definitely see your nose.
I think it does. A layperson scratches their head when trying to think about how to circle the square of "infinity + 1" or "infinity / infinity". Framing infinity as something outside of arithmetic is a starting point for a more interesting discussion of countability and types of infinities. Infinity is bigger than any number, so then how could it be a number?

In the Seattle school district, this is certainly not a cost cutting measure. It's an equity measure.

That's true. Even though there's a complete lack of interest in them by the public schools, at least those schools don't make an effort to block them.
> As such, there is some (misplaced) trust involved when people use IA, Google or other intermediaries

That's the unfortunate reality of trust as a currency... On average, people are way more likely to trust Google, a household name, than Gemini, a three-year-old brand-new protocol with its own mystery set of new and exciting not-yet-discovered security issues.

Google does mis-crawl all the time (in fact, they have a whole division dedicated to confirming whether sites aren't detecting their crawler and actively lying to them; sites that do get penalized in search results). But it's Google, so people believe they have a vested interest in getting it right. There's no such guarantees in people's minds for data coming over Gemini protocol; it hasn't been earned yet.
> Companies and their shareholders never wanted to pay out these bribes,

Incorrect. A company is incentivized to find the cheapest and easiest way to get what they want, and if that way consists of slipping a year's wages to a corrupt official or executive, it has a reason to do it. The net economic loss to other people does not factor into this calculus.

The whole point of quid-pro-quo is that the person giving the bribe expects to receive a benefit that is worth more to them than the cost of the bribe.

First, why? You’ll have to slave away at your job longer to replace things you could have otherwise repaired at a fraction of the cost, thus becoming a slave to your job to maintain your income just to keep on existing.

And secondly, why? The pollution this kind of thinking generates is mind boggling and as everyone is becoming aware, we’re running out of time to avoid disaster.

So, really, why?

> restarting coal

Not at all on a large scale. In France only one single plant is prepared to be restarted, among a lot of criticism from the population. This has nothing to do with "restarting coal" in a broad meaning.

> LNG

Lots of hesitation about that from the governments, too. Very criticized, but the rationale they are proposing is that the LNG infrastructure would be useful for hydrogen later (not my words), and that they are still doing the energy transition towards renewable, only it will not be done in time so they need the gas.

You see, the West (except some illiberal outsiders) is completely sure that the energy transition towards renewables is the solution.

The only variable is time, and whether the various populations are ready and willing to suffer during the first few winters or not.

> propaganda in the west

I'm sorry I think you are not seeing the reality: tons of diverse opinions in the West. But false claims are not just equal to true claims, in that fewer people believe them and fewer relay them. That is why most people are against fossil fuels, as they understand the mechanisms underlying AGW.

But on the other hand is there propaganda in India? Are the media free?

Probably due to the recent news about Cloudflare dropping their clients, namely Kiwi Farms, claiming things as severe as "unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike (Cloudflare has) previously seen" [1] without disclosing what exactly it was that they saw (also curiously without law enforcement getting involved). To my knowledge, AWS API Gateway has not dropped a client without adequate reason, which is why I'd imagine that Cloudflare is being specifically talked about

You can make this yourself with Proxy. I get a lot of mileage out of this:

// proxy to simplify loading and caching of getElementById calls
const $id = new Proxy({}, {
// get element from cache, or from DOM
get: (tgt, k, r) => (tgt[k] || ((r = document.getElementById(k)) && (tgt[k] = r))),

// prevent overwriting
set: () => $throw(`Attempt to overwrite id cache key!`)
});

Now if you have

<div id="something></div>

You can just do

$id.something.innerHTML = 'inside!';
If the freedoms is your angle: And a large point of the GPL family of licenses is to make you publish your changes so your users can run and further modify it, and AGPL is a logical extension to that for a world in which users rely on software they don't personally run. So that their important freedom of being able to run and modify software they rely on is preserved. If you get to keep your changes, your users are deprived.

The situation is funny that AGPL is widely derided as both being to weak and being to strong.

>> Sort of like invading your own country, or shooting yourself with a gun would be an effective show of force?

No.

When they do that as a show of force, they shoot down some worthless EOL satellite they don't plan to use ever again. IIRC, the US actually shot down one that was damaged and out of control: a show of force with a "safety" pretext.

You don't shoot down valuable, active infrastructure as a show of force. Russia blowing up Nord Stream would be like the US shooting down brand new GPS or spy satellites.

How so? Google gives 55% of the ad revenue to the creator and pays for all the hosting and administrative costs itself. And none of the Patreon revenue goes to Google.

Yes, I have direct first-hand experience with the "presenting one thing in initial talks pre-signature, and getting something completely different later" with the "big consulting firms". We spoke with actual senior engineers with highly relevant experience up front, and the dev team they sent to us to actually do work (completely with entire suite of product, ux, qa, etc etc etc...packing as many as possible) were people of a...lesser experience level. I'm being polite here.

I have a friend working in the business side of one of the large consulting firms, and the insight I got there is that sales is ahead of engineering staffing by _a lot_. In other words, the supply is being outstripped by the demand. Not wanting to leave money on the table these firms (or at least the very large "name brand" one my friend works for) will sign for projects which they do not have bench staff to fill. They then hit the streets and hire whoever can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Now we have to work alongside these people, who themselves are not so much to blame in many cases. They are pawns in the often-fraudulent game called Software Consulting, Inc. It's great fun. I feel for you.

In the article it said that the creator makes around 60% of their income from AdSense, 40% from Patreon (which Google sees nothing from).

The official reason was not changing government, it's "denazification and demilitarization".

As for "not a real country", there's an opinion that I think has some truth to it, that Ukraine, Russia as well as other states were all forged in the flame of USSR.
As I visit ex-USSR states they are very similar, like different flavors of the same country. National cloth and parts of language is all that is left.

This way there's not much need to change Ukraine to be like Russia, all of us already have the USSR culture.
They state that only as a disclaimer, after a bunch of other statements that hint at the opposite. Just adding a disclaimer to misleading writing merely makes it confusing and unclear for those who are paying attention, and still misleading for those who don't notice the disclaimer.

I think the writer might have been meaning to imply that there's a spectrum of properties from countably infinite to dense to uncountable, where each property is stronger than the previous one. But this is actually not the case. The Cantor set is uncountable, but nowhere dense. So density is not just something that's in between countability and uncountability---it's an orthogonal thing.

The problem is with what a year is, which is arbitrary to begin with, but worse still, a year is not constant. The momentum of every planet is affected by the gravity of every other planet, leading to fluctuations in solar orbital speed, which means a full orbit is likely never the same period as the previous or subsequent orbit. Maybe these fluctuations are small, but light travels so fast that over long distances it is sure to be significant. Thus the definition of a light year is defined as the distance light travels in a Julian year, 365.25 days, but this just pushes the error down to a different measure, because days are not constant either. Since the speed of light actually is constant, maybe we should define years and days by the speed of light instead of vice versa.
A few "gotchas:"

I will commonly "alias p=printf" in my shell scripts. This is fine in Almquist and bash when called as /bin/sh, but if called as /bin/bash it fails, because bash only honors aliases in POSIX mode.

In bash, reading with a prompt can be done with "read -p prompt var" but this fails in Korn because it's used for coprocesses. This means that your shell script will not run on Android, because mksh is the system shell.

I could probably think of a few more with some effort, and especially a check of the man pages.

"What the weather is" is far too general. To what radius? To what granularity? What questions do we care about? Temperature? Humidity? Wind speed? Wind direction? Cloud cover? Air quality? Pressure? Is it raining, snowing, sleeting, hailing? What are the features of the precipitation, if it exists? How long has it been raining? Are the rivers in danger of overflowing their banks? Is it flooding? If it is snowing, is the snow sticking? Are the conditions right for black ice?

This is why, when I want to know what the weather is, I use the vast array of sensors that the US government has paid for, and the expertise of meteorologists. Just google it.

This is a weird criticism to me. It's like complaining that a karate master is just drilling the same moves over and over instead of coming up with moves in sparring, or complaining that a football team is rewatching old games to see what plays work instead of just coming up with plays on the field. The memorization and preparedness IS the intelligence, not the waste of it.
You are correct, that is an error. Serendipity perhaps :)
> tons of code in there for which they are not the sole copyright holders

No, that's not the case. By buying Sun, Oracle owns all the Open Solaris code.

Sun of course could not have open sourced code they didn't own the rights to open source in the first place. It was a long effort within Sun to scrub all the code to make sure. (This is why open sourcing proprietary code is a lot of work and most companies don't bother. Thankfully Sun did.) Some parts had to be distributed as binary blobs because Sun didn't have the ownership (over time there were separate efforts to rewrite these to reduce dependency on binary blobs).

Just curious what kind of "example" you'd expect someone to bring? Surely not code samples, since most people will not be legally allowed to show you code from their previous employer.

The way I've done this before is to have them talk you through what they did and why, with some questions probing at an appropriate level of detail. But that's not exactly "bring[ing] an example".
It sounds pretty amateur, not how the US would operate
Now that I think about it, I bet you could put together a pretty successful YouTube series of messing with zoom interviews in ways just like this. Get someone's identical twin to join the call and make them fight over who's the real one. Bring time travel into it. Make outlandish demands of the interviewer to prove that they're not a Zorblaxian spy.

So we're clear, things stop being lobbying and start being bribes when they are explicitly quid pro quo.
Yes I did. They wanted my stuff to be sent. When I said "no", I just show it on-screen they lost all interest suddenly and finished the call after encouraging to do the exercise and "take the time I need" (bc I was working already in my day job).

But this was more employer-fraud, not employee.
Well, the C128 had a built-in ML monitor which could disassemble assembly.
though designed for Nvidia GPU, you can run this on intel Macs at a slower speed about 300 seconds per image.
Also just ratchets the value of "old email accounts" up a ton. Reddit has a similar problem with fraud coming from old tenured accounts with karma (upvote points similar to HN) becoming very valuable and targets for hackers and spammers.

I don't know about new addresses, but it sounds like more robust vetting is needed on the interviewing side. Resumes and initial screens have become potentially stale and too easy to fake.
Pretty close. If they added an additional zero to make 1.0000 meters they would be the same number of significant figures technically. But it's all convention. I've been in classes where 1.000 would be 4 significant figures.

> 120.0000 consists of six significant figures (1, 2, and the four subsequent zeroes) except for the last zero If the resolution is to 0.001.
I don't know why laws like this have taken so long to start being implemented
You're right that I'm remembering my sig-fig rules wrong, but you're not entirely right:

> Zeros to the right of the last non-zero digit (trailing zeros) in a number with the decimal point are significant if they are within the measurement or reporting resolution.

> 1.200 has four significant figures (1, 2, 0, and 0) if they are allowed by the measurement resolution.

and

> Trailing zeros in an integer may or may not be significant, depending on the measurement or reporting resolution.

So my first example "1m and 1000mm" actually might be the same length, depending on if those zeros are significant or not which has not been clearly communicated.

My second example "1000mm and 1.000m" is also ambiguous, since 1.000m is clear(ish) about its sig-figs, while 1000mm is not. I suppose I could have written "1000. mm"

Best solution imo would probably be:

- something that actually specified the error: 1m ± 0.0001m

- or using words to indicate what's meant: "exactly 1000mm"
