Glad you liked it. I feel it also shows amazing atmosphere and spirit of people involved and this is what attracts us. You know, like backstage of Fraggle Rock or The Muppet Show.

Hi, I am a dev on Pulse Browser. I want to clarify our current development direction (I haven't significant updated the website recently). We have been moving further away from privacy and towards developing/iterating on features faster than Firefox is willing to, along with providing sane defaults.

For example, we have been experimenting with a opera/vivaldi-like method of accessing Firefox's sidebar. Whilst you could technically achieve this via patching `omni.ja`, you would need to repatch it every update. At that point, it might as well be a custom browser.

Sorry about Vercel's insight stuff, not sure how that got enabled, but it should be disabled now (or whenever Cloudflare invalidates your cache).

If you want further reading into some of the specific parts of our code that we are putting most of our effort into, here are some links:

So lets leave him in the airport right.
The "before this week" column seems to be attempting to draw sympathy by saying "but everything was fine before, seriously!" when in reality it just proved that, even in the best of worlds, they had an extremely optimistic view of the entire crypto ecosystem, including its liquidity.

I can't believe they seriously held that much of their total value in their own issued token. That's just preposterous. Imagine if JP Morgan Chase's entire value was in JP Morgan Chase stock, and they just reported that as their value in cash. It's like recursive valuation.

> if we really cared about security we wouldn't be writing in C.

If we really cared about security we would definitely be writing in C.

If we really cared about security but would prefer not to think about it we wouldn'd be really caring about security, no matter the language.

Caring is done by little details. You don't want to risk with dangling pointers, do you?
Then you either rely on someone else's work (garbage collector?) embedded in some "secure" language or you do your homework with careful memory allocation.

What about buffer/stack overflows?
Same.

Finally, have you asked yourself with which language your "secure" stack (kernel, userland, compiler/ interpreter etc.) has been written?

I bet a huge part is in C.
It seems kind of weird to me that you could exist as part of an intentionally engineered, computer simulation that could be patched and restarted, while also having past lives in the Buddhist sense.

I mean, I guess if you figured out where qualia and continuity of consciousness came from, you could engineer past lives for ethical purposes, so you aren't really killing people if you have to restart the simulation.

Alternately, if conscious observers are actually privileged over unconscious observers is some medium independent way (read: souls exist and spontaneously come into existence anywhere consciousness happens), that would just be an engineering limitation a universe developer would have to deal with.

The peak market capitalisation of SRM was less than 1.5 billion (according to coinmarketcap.com ) . So how could FTX's holdings every be valued at 2.2 billion?

There were reasons for having kids and also lot more kids in the past; death or chronic illness of some of them, needing kids to take care of the elderly and work the lands and, the one many forget; religion nonsense as in not being allowed sex if not for reproduction.

In the village where I was raised, all families had kids until the wife cannot have them anymore or dies because of that. And because of the rapid decline of religion over there, it was pretty much inbreeding as there are not many candidates that want a life like that outside these families, so always some of them have massive defects (my neighbour had a son born without a left arm, a blind daughter, a son with a disabling low iq, and more like that).

There is so much art that is creative commons and public domain I’m sure a worse ‘pile’ could be conjured up to start things out. Then just as we have seen with other architectures, as they refine, their need for data can drop and eventually we are back in the same place, maybe a few more years removed but back in the same place nonetheless. That is my take at least.

Personally, I don’t think it is likely that copyright laws will change to protect against algorithmic usage (too much precedent in more general reuse cases and for what is considered transformative). Having said that I also don’t think this will be the death of artists by any stretch, some industries will need to change or evolve but it will be just another tool in an artists belt IMO.

The people who make missiles are complicit, and are partially responsible for the deaths that result from them. And yes, that raises awkward questions about the military industrial complex, and about other countries and people who are also doing it.

But it's basic cause and effect, some people built a missile, some people ordered its use, some people launched it at the target. All of them bear some portion of the responsibility for the end result, any other conclusion is not entirely honest.

^^ You are here ^^
It’s both expected and normal, however, yes, as you point out, going slowly will give your soft tissues time to adapt to the new stresses you’re putting them through.
Is this a hill I’m willing to die on?… again?…

Yeah, sure, sounds like a great idea.
The idea is that if any particular society in a "real" universe is interested in simulating other realities, and if it turns out that it actually is possible to simulate other realities, then we should expect that there'd be a near-infinite number of simulations. Because the society in the "real" universe would likely create many such simulations, and many of those simulated societies would figure out how to create their own simulations, and many of those simulated societies would do the same, so on and so forth. So you'd have "simulations all the way down", so to speak.

Even if there are many "real" universes, you'd still expect each "real" universe to spawn some huge number of simulated universes. Without evidence to the contrary, any individual universe -- including our own -- should not assume it's one of the relatively rare "real" universes. And there'd be no reason to assume we are in one of the "first level" simulations that the "real" universes have created, either.

And even if there are infinite "real" universes, you would still end up with a much larger infinity of simulated universes.
Are you talking about manually pre-transcoding to a more streaming-friendly format? Since anyone taking about issues with transcoding is almost certainly talking about 4K formats (anything else is almost no load even on 10 year old hardware), I'd be interested to know what format you're picking that retains 4K Dolby Vision and/or HDR10 with the Atmos audio and is supported for more efficient non-transcoded transfer by the Plex client and server software. Certainly some are better but only work on specific clients, I haven't heard of a good efficient format that works on the majority of client devices.
Prevailing wages in poorer areas are going to be lower. Therefore national statistics will show that the same occupation in the poor area earns less than in the rich area. This is all that's going on here.

It's pretty irresponsible of the Guardian not to even interview a single labor economist who can explain this to their readers.

Instead, they interview lawyers and politicians who are denouncing the very mechanisms that lift people out of poverty, because it is by taking advantage of this that wages in poorer areas go up:

If a business had to pay the same wage in the rich and poor area, then there would be no incentive to increase hiring where labor costs are lower, and this is exactly how you bid up wages in those areas.
Strongly disagree.

As humanity progresses our tech gets more and more advanced. At some point, our "latest technological concepts" will reach peak/extreme levels. Clearly our tech is more advanced than it was 2000 years ago. We now have the ability to create simulations are ourselves and we do in droves: many trillions of simulations per day we create.

I think it is only natural to wonder about the next level up. For the ancient Greeks it was yes, the stars--the heavens. We can now see the stars clearly. So now we're wondering about the next level, if any. And I think neither of us can say definitively yes or no as to whether or not there is another level.

Besides wondering if there is a current level there is another unanswered question that seems to be the most important ones, at least to those of us that still think about these things: what was there before our universe. What happened before the big bang?

If it helps, modernized Yars’ is exactly the same game with a new graphical overlay. I played for two levels and then turned the overlay off. (And then played for another hour.)

VCTR-SCTR is the standout ”reimagined” entry in the collection I think.

Not a problem for Yars’ obviously but a lot of the games suffer from missing a nice paddle. (I’m playing on Switch.)
Didn’t own the E90, but I’ve had several Symbian smartphones and don’t think I’ve ever seen the “phone” app crash. In fact I remember that they were generally stable compared to computers.

Only the browsers would run out of memory and crash, hence why Opera mini (which compressed and slimmed down websites) was so popular at that time.

This is like saying we don't know if washing your hands before preparing food helps hygeine in the real world there have been no good studies.

To which the answer is simple, N95/FFP3 rates particle filtering effectiveness at a certain size; coronavirus particles are within that window.
Banks are the medium for money created by the government to reach the economy. So perhaps one can say banker salaries are the vig on inflation.
Layering alone isn't enough, for (at least) two reasons:

- Usually the work crosses several layers in at least one place - e.g. implementing or modifying a feature will require you to touch implementation and interface layers. If those layers are spread too thin, they won't fit in the head.

- Too much "clean code" will make a single layer no longer fit in working memory even at an "overview" level. This is the most common issue in my experience; a problem created by adherents to the idea of "lots of short, simple functions". Even most trivial feature makes you jump between half a dozen functions, and IDEs don't help there the way they should (i.e. by allowing you to view - and perhaps edit - code with select function calls inlined in place).
Driving is absolutely an art, and if you have ever heard artist tall about techniques, you'll realize that there is a large amount of what you'd consider mechanical operation. The viscoelastic properties of acrylic paint aren't based on feeling and subconscious expression. :-)
> For example, we predict that if a state has a minimum wage and a neighboring state doesn't, unemployment in the state without minimum wage laws will increase, because people will cross the border for the higher salaries.

I don't understand the logic behind that prediction. Minimum wage exists because we recognize people won't voluntarily move into the highest paying work possible, often prioritizing other factors like loyalty, enjoyment, fear of the unknown, etc. We impose minimum wage so that workers are forced into more economically productive pursuits in order to remain employed for the betterment of the economy as a whole.

If a state didn't have a minimum wage, while the neighbouring one did, we would first question why the one state found minimum wage necessary and would predict that is most likely that the other state suffers from the same problem, therefore realizing that workers in the state without minimum wage would be most likely to stay in the jobs they have, even if low paying. If people were always searching for the highest paying jobs available, minimum wage wouldn't be necessary.
The claim that "almost all of the most important world music rhythms are Euclidean rhythms" requires some serious cherry-picking and arm twisting. I would agree on much weaker claim that all Euclidean rhythms can be recognized in world music, but then most of random arrangements on 8 and 7 grid will sound familiar after couple of repetitions. Humans are just good at recognizing rhythmic patterns.
I'm heavily in favor of inlining over tiny little functions, and the transcribing you describe is something that should, IMO, be done automatically by your IDE, on the fly, as a different rendering mode. It's unfortunate that there's no such feature for any of the languages I know.

That assumes that finding a way out isn't the point of the simulation.

True.

100%.

It is unevidenced and unfalsifiable. It is fun to think about, but so is a lot of science fiction.
So this is probably a silly question, but I'm curious. Why is it important to initialize memory to 0's before we use it? I know rust considers uninitialized memory unsafe but I don't get why. All that really matters is that we initialize it to something. Why can't we wait and let that be the first value that's actually meaningful instead of wasting time writing 0's?
That's a fairly low quality med-spam internet article, like

The first argument that comes to mind is the existence of ptrdiff_t, but you’re not guaranteed to get a valid ptrdiff_t just by subtracting two pointers in the same array!
Firefox is already fast in a lot of ways. For example, "Recalculate Style" is dead slow on Chrome compared to firefox. I don't know how but it's night and day (over a second difference for 10k+ nodes). Maybe something to do with https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/performance/bestprac...

A better firefox would be a better Chrome that copies optimization technique from firefox. Because "better" means improving the one that 65% of users are already using .. if it's fixable.

This might not be the primary initial motivation for calloc(), but I think you're right about why it takes two arguments.
It can be due to the cap in the laptop power supply, but here more likely case is as OP is guessing, the ground stopped being ground and the leak is somewhere else in power network. And that can be way more dangerous than just a tingle, disconnected ground means that even line directly connected to ground would not trigger any safety (especially if house is old and also don't have RCD).
It still does, and will require effort and actual artistic skill and vision, due to entirely fundamental reasons (not because of deficiencies of current models). A lot of people who cry foul about AI art haven't actually dived into it, or thought at least a bit about what works and what doesn't. Typically they think that you can just enter a prompt and magically produce "art". It doesn't work like that, it's much more complicated, and the complexity is only going to increase in future. Just like with any CGI. This panic is induced by social media, and is based on a wrong premise.
There is probably a reason they put that in (as in: they had an incident where this apparently wasn't standard...)
Hard disagree.

Science is about making hypotheses and testing them. It's fine to come up with a hypothesis that is untestable, especially if it's reasonable to assume that we may one day be able to test it. It's fine to even consider the probability that your hypothesis is true, absent the ability to test it, given whatever priors we have.

Sure, believing that we are in a simulation without evidence would be some form of religion. But merely acknowledging that it's possible that we're in a simulation... well, that's just basic science.

It sounds like you are doing something anti-scientific yourself: rejecting the possibility without evidence. This is one of the things that bothers me about hard-line atheists: just because gods are not falsifiable, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. I personally don't think they exist, but I accept that it's possible I'm wrong. Asserting that atheism is absolutely true and correct is no less a "religion" than theism is.

Consider this: if it is possible for our society, someday, to simulate a universe with the fidelity that we ourselves observe in our universe, then it is not only possible, but incredibly likely, that we, ourselves, are living in simulation. We can come to this conclusion using logic and reason. No belief or religion is necessary.
