No free service I know of will let you generate a certificate on the fly with your name on it, which will be considered trusted by most out of the box sw

You can get free digital certificates to sign PDFs with your email address, from basically any company.
But that is hardly a way to verify your identity. Anyone can create any email address they want, and use any name in the address.

The eIDAS directory lists some companies that are pretty cheap. But you will still have to verify your identity, so you can't get a certificate as easily as with Let's Encrypt for websites.

Edit : Docusign and similar services have a free plan, but you can only sign a few documents before you or the submitter have to pay. So it's not free per se, it just has a trial.
And they don't really check your id, most of the time. So anyone can create an account with your name too.

No they aren’t.

New York Times on 12/5: “Russian Cruise Missiles Were Made Just Months Ago Despite Sanctions”
You realize that the oauth token is tied to the client app, right? Not only can GitHub see that this action was taken by/through a third party service, they can also see all actions taken by that service across all users. So there are much better ways to detect and correct the abuse.
A few books to recommend here:

"The Condition of the Working Class in England" by Friedrich Engels, a firsthand account of the struggles and conditions faced by workers in industrial England.

"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, about the exploitative conditions in the meatpacking industry and helped lead to the passage of food safety laws.

"The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan, detailing the struggles and discrimination faced by women in the workforce and paved the way for the feminist movement.
It's not just Microsoft vs Sony. It's also that game publishers are already highly concentrated. Activision-Blizzard is one of the bigger independent companies out there and losing them to Microsoft would be bad for industry wide competition, similar to Sysco/US foods.
I use pure Alsa on virtual machines. Image is stripped down so much it barely runs XServer.

Another reason is future proofing. PipeWire is yet another audio protocol, and may not be around in 5 or 10 years.

Not everything has PipeWire. Some flavours of linux has support for 10 years. Even some of my desktop boxes still use Pulseaudio.

And finally what PipeWire actually offers? If you need to dump audio into output, ALSA seems sufficient.
Yeah lets name them bro, then we can have articles like: "Iranian whistleblower found dead with signs of torture." Much better!

Taiwanese may also have the value of "having free elections", I hear those are quite popular and people may not want to give them up. Especially now they can see what happened to HK.
It may not be as relevant for the youth, but it’s absolutely still relevant. A LOT of eyeballs for ad dollars are still on Facebook.
Where is the colonialism here?

It wouldn’t even be a colony. It’s literally part of the land. It’s been going around being more or less independent since 1400 and was part of France a mere 200 years ago. And to be fair 90% of what was independent willingly joined France years ago. What remains is an insignificant piece of rock which doesn’t really have its own culture and is only allowed to stay this way because French residents pay taxes in France and the foreigners who use it as tax haven are powerful. It’s nearly as shameful as the Virgin British Islands.
I suspect some car companies may be.

I'm not completely sure but I think we had to allow Skoda to track us when we paid them to turn on the Apple connection stuff in the car. I'm sorry I can't be more specific or technical than that, but I've never had a drivers license and drive a cargo bike, so the car is sort of my wife's domain that I know very little about.

If it was an option, I don't see why anyone would allow their car company to track them.
I’m seeing the same. There are a lot of people saying apple’s scheme was somehow worse than Google’s. I was arguing that apples was at least attempting to be privacy preserving.
This reads like dystopian propaganda to convince the youngest generation to switch to a cashless society so they can be tracked and controlled
I'm not the GP and don't have a horse in this race, but is English Wikipedia widely considered "Kremlin biased?" That seems far fetched.

Or maybe just do both.

I do most of my groceries through Ocado, and their warehouse operations are almost fully automated[0], but then on the delivery front I can only assume they staff much more generously than amazon, because their delivery drivers are always much more relaxed than Amazon drivers, they're quite happy to have a chat while unpacking, and often call saying they're running early and ask whether it's ok to arrive before the delivery window.

> The way i see it (an example) you as a user want to read a story that i wrote in my website

This is very rarely the case, though, and also the fundamental error the original article is making. The vast majority of page loads are blind link clicks. The user doesn't know what is behind it before clicking. They're trying to take a quick sample and maybe stay on the page and read something if it proves sufficiently interesting and not obnoxious compared to the thousands of otherwise identical pages with near identical content.

It is not people trying to grab your magazine to take home without paying. It's people at the magazine stand browsing through all of them trying to decide if any are worth buying. While thumbing through the covers, we don't want autoplay videos taking over our speakers and waking up our sleeping spouse, malicious JavaScript querying the OS to figure out what our hardware capabilties and settings are to fingerprint us, thumbnails of a bunch of women with E cups in tight shirts with no relation to a story trying to get us to browse through to something else. We just want to see if whatever the hell we clicked on is actually worth reading. You're automatically assuming we made that decision before loading the page.
This takedown has nothing to do with YouTube.

The repo was distributing patches for non-YouTube apps as well; specifically AnyTracker[0] and Pflotsch ECMWF[1]. Both of these patches appear to have been disablers for the Google Play License checks to permit usage of their respective "premium" version and both developers filed takedowns.

Suprisingly not Google (the original Vanced) or the MPAA (youtube-dl) this time.

>Very cool. I've been doing some "prompt design" myself, how did you land on the temperature 0.001?

The point is to use the least generative methods to parse the HTML.

> It's kind of clunky to iterate on a prompt. If you change one thing about the prompt to get a better result for one aspect of the desired output, it can negatively impact the quality of another aspect.

There is an implementation for testing prompts internally when you set it up on local. This way you can get an idea about which parts a prompt and restrictive hyperparameters are failing you.

With that being said, you can also design a unique custom parser by changing the prompt for different subsets of data.

>If you wanted to make the ratios more accurate. You might add something like "Make sure the ratios of ingredients are correct.
> Which is better, but many times something else gets worse (e.g. the list of intructions to actually cook the thing). Curious what process you followed when designing the prompts.

This is really interesting. I would love to hear more about it if you would like to open an issue under the repository with something like: "Using additional instructions to improve parsing of preset parsers", I may add a preset parser on that issue to showcase.

> I think someone could build a business around "prompt design". Small tweaks make such a huge difference that a tool that helped you improve prompts would be really valuable.

I hope it brings ease to people's lives
I don't think this is a Russian conspiracy theory. I think it's an American conspiracy theory.

The Russian troll farms don't seem to invent things from whole cloth. They're most effective at nudging Americans to exaggerate the differences we make for ourselves. It's hard to tell how effective they actually are. For all I know we'd do the same without them cheering us on.

I disagree. GDPR has provisions for data use for core features of your product. For a social network connecting friends sounds core.

If they try to take asylum somewhere outside Iran it would probably be Malaysia (lots of the Iranian elite send their children to the British+Australian university campuses there plus it's basically First World) or Qatar (similar reason as Malaysia but also American universities)

They (the EU) don't and I don't understand why you would understand it that way.
Was more of a thing historically wasn't it? Napoleon was exiled to a far away island before his death. Not by choice though.
Russia seems to be throwing it's entire war machine at Ukraine. It deployed units, and conscripts, from all over Russia, including the Far East (in fact sourcing conscripts predominantly from poorer regions, and preferentially not ethnic Russians). Chop that machine into 4 or 5 pieces and it's far less scary.

Even the nukes, scary as they could be, are less of a threat when the individual actors are smaller and weaker. They may not even be able to maintain these nukes. And even if they are capable of using them, they are at a more precarious position than eg. Putin at the helm of Mighty Russia.
I read/heard somewhere that if the Republic of Ireland built all of their potential offshore wind-farms, it could power the country and generate a surplus for export. Obviously need to solve the storage issue or rely on interconnects for when the wind isn't blowing/blows too hard.

If you stop and think about the education in brave new world, how different is it from ours? Do we judge people's socioeconomic status by their clothes? Do we tell ourselves platitudes concerning other socioeconomic statuses? (you're poor and dirty, they're rich and arrogant, we're upright real honest to god middle class, etc.) Sure, Huxley turned everything to 11, but is there any part of the AF 632 world that doesn't reflect something that already exists here in AF 114?
That’s not how apple’s scheme worked. All matching happened server side based on encrypted fingerprints sent along with the photos.
I do this sometimes because it makes line comments (to comment out a particular line) much easier. Same with logical operators (and/or). Thought this was pretty common in some languages.

You can't put all the blame on the user, when GitHub makes the page where you just log in to a third party and where you grant them permissions look so similar.
Is wind an efficient way to produce electricity? Would we be producing wind turbines if there were 0 subsidies?
IMO Kotlin is barely nicer than Java currently. Java has for the most part implemented better or equivalent versions of a lot of Kotlin's features (e.g. virtual threads, pattern matching, sealed classes).

The last things missing are properties (which should be coming with reconstructors), and nullable types. For me, nullable types are not worth the switch.

All that being said, I don't think the languages are mutually exclusive. As a JVM developer you retain all your knowledge of the JVM and it's standard library. Lastly, a language doesn't have to be the dominate language on a platform to be usable and employable (just look at Scala).
The National Grid Pressure maps are also interesting.

https://gasdata.nationalgrid.com/

The network is used for short term storage to even out supply and demand.
Isn't that up to the developers of the individual apps?
Named storms often generate records for wind power generation. Even if a few turbines in the middle of the storm have to turn off, the rest of the country still gets lots more wind.

If you look at graphs of the wind and solar production in winter vs summer, the correlation is obvious. On a day-to-day basis, much less so, but on average low wind does tend to come along with higher sun.
This isn't true. A lot of media sources (and people) define Alexa as a "robot" and since 99% of reporters aren't experts in technology you end up with headlines like, "Layoffs Reportedly Hit Amazon's Robotics Team" when in reality it's mostly just people working on Alexa and related hardware.
But... they only do that in the US ;)
>two established journalists have been given comprehensive access to internal files and are documenting what they have found, while putting their discoveries in context.

Ahhh yes, posting tweets on Twitter is "putting their discoveries in context". Normally journalists provide context by writing in depth articles after they have formed all their thoughts.... and maybe even have it reviewed by an editor.

>And who's saying it won't be? This was not Elon volunteering this information himself. This was simply him replying in the affirmative to a question put to him. (And no, it was not a 'leading question'.)

Then say the name. If he knows it happened, then take the .5 second to type out 10 or more characters and name a name. OR say something like "Yes, I'll get a list shortly". But no, he gives a snide 'yes'. Which only furthers to rile up the mouth frothers. It's so immature.

SMIME certs for email are to my knowledge the most relevant analogy for a “web pki for users”. There is no ACME-over-email for SMIME that has made it out of rfc into practice, so that is the first hurdle. Hurdle #2 is there is only relatively weak agreement (AFAIK) on a “internet trust bundle for SMIME CAs”. Hurdle #3 is likely a lack of modern amenities like CT for SMIME CAs.

I like how pattern matching for is being refined and how now you can do destructuring in a for loop body.

for (Pair(String s, String t): arg) {
System.out.println(s+", "+t);
}

Even so it is a bit of a drag that you have to enable preview features to use pattern and also that it changes from version to version, but it is getting better all the time. I am using JDK 17 at work without preview features and coding on my own account w/ 19 and preview enabled. It will be nice if most of the stuff in preview now gets finalized in 21 and then they get started on value types and the more radical stuff after that.

PulseAudio optimizes for power consumption but tries to be adaptive to handle lower latency as well. PipeWire seems to optimize for latency but try to be adaptive to reduce power consumption as well. These are conflicting desires, lower latency requires higher power usage because you have to use shorter buffers instead of just giving the sound card a big chunk of audio to work through and putting the CPU to sleep. JACK could potentially still do better and ALSA could potentially still do better than even that but PipeWire's goal is to be close enough or even match JACK while still having all the other features people use PulseAudio for.
Computational, analytical, scientific, or something like that, maybe?

Probably internet friends if you have niche interests. But yeah, you're not going to get high quality discussions on arbitrary topics from strangers.

I think with WhatsApp and Instagram under its control, Meta still has quite a reach.

>EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms.

In the context of apps like Facebook or Instagram, which make money by tracking us to show us personalised ads, this is like saying that it is illegal for supermarkets to charge us for groceries, even if customers wanted to pay for them. What happens next? The supermarket closes, evidently. And this is a win for whom? Not the supermarket, and not the clients. Everybody loses.
A different version has them needing to meet with no possibility of communication, only knowledge that each has the same map.

Feel free to visit a Montessori school. Third grade kids just walking around, some reading a sticker book, some just yelling at each other, some finger painting, no structure, absolutely no learning happening. Some of the kids were in 7th grade math, some couldn't yet multiply numbers. One kid ran up to us said a few incoherent sentences then walked off awkwardly. It's one step above home schooling. The teachers had no plan and were excited to get us volunteering. Pass. Who is famous that went to Montessori school?

I will reiterate. Baltic states, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, are constantly harassed and reminded that Russia doesn't really see them as sovereign states. They fly bombers into their airspaces (oops), deploys military manoeuvres at their borders, rambles about aiming their nukes at the capital cities. It actually invaded Ukraine for the second time in a decade! And even as this is all going on, Russia happily says, "hey Latvia, or Finland, you guys better stand to attention or you are next".

Refugees on the border suddenly seems like a nice problem to have.

That's for long form video content (series, movies, documentaries, etc.).

Text content is rarely something people pay for.

How many newspapers are you subscribed to?

> I personally pay $50/month on Patreon to various makers.

Sure, but look what the ratio of Patreon subscriber to viewers is for Twitch streams or Youtube content creators is.
Yes. They only do bank to bank. But there is definitely a business model here.

If you can offer subscription model and can do bank to bank transfer with 0.5% fees, you will disrupt the whole subscription industry relying on visa/Master card monopoly. Not only this, banks also charge very high currency conversion fees which you can disrupt.

You of course need to build lot of things from scratch but with most of the banking now a days going online with new APIs, it is possible.
