My main boggle with images today is that I am making red/cyan anaglyphs that perform well on older displays but have crosstalk on ‘wide gamut’ displays because wide gamut displays turn a (0,180,0) green in sRGB into (16,176,16) on the display in an effort to make the saturation closer to the sRGB green and less like the color you see when you get hit with a green laser pointer. The extra red shines through the right filter though and makes a ghost image.

I am thinking it ought to be possible to have a sRGB and a wide gamut image and have the front end pick the right image. What I really want to do do the anaglyph processing with WebGL but that involves telling the web browser to render a wide gamut color space directly.
A) The EU is democratic, and B) your second point is also factually incorrect. Good try, though, I guess.

You have successfully convinced me that you’re either a parody account or GPT-4 in training. This is insane.
I used to work as an intern in a PaaS startup. We had meals paid for by the company. We ate in 35 to 50 minutes, then got back to the office where we started our work environment, putting some work before the official end of the lunch break.

I changed jobs and now work as a "freelancer" (i have missions, the last one had an objective and lasted 20 months, the new one is a bit less clear). The meal is practically free for the employees, but is roughly 12€ for freelancers, and of really bad quality. So we get out with the full team (including employees), walk, or sometime take the bus to a restaurant (we change each week), eat there, then come back. It's often a bit more expensive (15 to 25€), but both the product quality and the preparation are better. Our lunch break at my previous mission lasted on average 90 minutes (we were quite far from good restaurant), on the new mission it seems to be a little less (we're closer to Paris and there is a lot of restaurant around).
It seems to be the thing nowadays to be preoccupied with the notion of your own identity, and I can't help but feel like it's just navel gazing. Maybe it's social media and the culture of self promotion, but I find it pretty hollow and uninteresting.

I have a young kid in my family that's fixated with gender and sexuality and they said one day "I just want to get diagnosed so I know what I am," to which I said "It's not what you are that's important, it's what you want to do." That seemed to be an epiphany for them.
My concern is that of relying on one of these vendors for managing the passkeys. And their knowledge of which sites I have accounts with. And my suspicion you'll have an extremely hard time migrating devices and vendors.

I've no internal knowledge of MS systems but the fact that they make it hard to use their operating system without an online account and you can't opt out of all telemetry and the fact it's default opt-in for all telemetry leads me to be extremely suspicious of them. I'm not saying they're any worse than Google or Apple.
I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you.

I almost got scammed by this as well. But it felt strange to me that there was no actual person I needed to meet to complete the rental agreement. And then when they asked me to wire the money I knew it was a scam.

That's a beautiful song. The white Texans were largely a bunch of grifters, speculators, ne'er-do-wells, conmen, and their lot, mostly from the slave states in the US. Even Daniel Boone was nothing more than a self-promoting personality. They had their land they'd squatted on, their slaves, their cotton, and they didn't want the Mexicans authorities tell them how to live, so they didn't pay their taxes. They made up conspiracy theories (though they weren't called that) about how Santa Anna was a dictator and a despot coming to take their freedoms. Sounds almost modern day, hmm.

Sam Houston got lucky at the battle of San Jacinto and as soon as they got rid of the Mexicans they proceeded to kick out and erase their Mexican-descended allies, including Lorenzo de Zavala, Juan Seguín, José Antonio Navarro (who helped write thee constitution and served in the Texas Senate) https://www.tsl.texas.gov/lobbyexhibits/struggles-tejano

I’ve found that what ChatGPT comes up with is often a great start and has already saved me hours of time. Is it as good as paying a professional? Probably not. But I think it’s fair to say these models are already solving real world problems, even if they still need a bit of a helping hand. Just my thoughts, I’m not an expert on the models themselves.
Cryptographers as a group are pretty pro-speech and anti-censorship.
It is shocking how entirely unnecessary it all has been.

There’s no reason for the whole situation. The company is in a bad spot now.
If you choose to abide by the letter but not the spirit of the law, you take a big risk. Why would you do that? Especially if you are that rich?
If the authorized resellers were companies I'd never heard of, I would hope that would raise flags. But, yeah, especially at a smaller company, getting an official-looking company check and told to use it to get myself set up and expense it when I started would seem pretty normal.

Though it's been many years since I've traveled to interview, I was always paid by check for anything out of pocket. (Except for a 3 letter government agency who paid me in cash.)
… No. Many jurisdictions, provided that certain rules are followed, allow employers to provide food for employees on premises without it being deemed a benefit in kind (ie taxable).

Some go further. I believe in France employers can still give employees vouchers (in practice run over the debit card system these days) for restaurants, and this is also not deemed a benefit in kind.

A lot of this sort of thing is down to long-standing practice, really. It has long been customary for many employers to feed their staff, so this isn’t considered a benefit in kind.
On-device WebAuthn and what makes it hard to do well
I have been printing these containers like a madman. They are really, really good.

I organized our junk drawer in the kitchen with them and I was basically hailed as a rockstar by the family. we had these little baskets from ikea that did a decent job, but now we have dedicated battery storage, pencil/pen trays, thumb drive holders, odd/ends screws and bolts, etc. I am currently printing a jewelry system for my daughters earrings, rings and necklaces. I am relatively certain my wife will want one when she sees it in action.

It is a really cool system that solves some real problems for people like me who dabble in a ton of shit (hobbies).

Zach is hilarious if you ask me, I really enjoy his videos. His discord is very inclusive even for a very rough around the edges guy like myself, its not too in your face.

No, they cannot further human understanding. They can only read and write existing text faster than you or I can.

Something that acts like a parrot and demonstrates no intelligence cannot be used to learn about intelligence.

The business model for ChatGPT should be obvious. It's stated at the bottom of every page. They will sell a conversational chat agent for use in customer service and tech support. That's useful and real and meets the Turing test criteria you're talking about.

I'm wondering if there's an equivalent to Discogs for old books?

They have pretty much every record ever recorded, in every release, in every country. If you have a release you think is rare, the buyer might ask you about the "dead wax", the writing on the space near the label after the last track. You can accept bids on it. They know all about shipping costs. I found it all to be a very pleasant experience.

But it would be nice if the used book market stayed old-fashioned.
Kyrgyzstan is a democracy?

Right. I wasn't really clear, I was referring to the degree of purity not the process or source.
I suppose it could've been a lower-cost alternative to the Sun 3/80 ("Sun 3x", their 68030 arch), launched in 1989?

Also, Sun had launched a 386 system (Sun 386i) a year or two before that, so they were already on Intel. I think if they wanted to go the lower cost "consumer" route, they could've found a random PC clone vendor to help them scale up faster than Commodore.
No, definitely not. Commercial kitchen equipment is expensive even second-hand; these will be bid up.
There has been lots of discussion about Flutter here and to my understanding, Flutter is far away from being killed.

I’v been using Flutter for a couple of months now and It’s incredible if you want to build to all platforms with a single codebase.
This is a very shallow, incorrect analysis. The author needs to learn about composition to understand both Unix and Plan 9.

As others mentioned, the author also needs to consider what research is.
Yeah, I read the post thinking "how on earth is this guy still falling for it? Everything about this screams scam, scam, scam, scam. Is he stupid or something?"

If I'd come this close to falling for such an obvious scam I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone it happened at all, much less publish a full transcript.

At 100% depending on the platform. For years many have complained about Chrome moving too fast and shipping stuff without a consensus with the other vendors, this might signal a change from that.

If that was the right thing, then that's an excellent reason to avoid using that facility ever.
> Last Writer Wins is not the most compelling use case for CRDT because if those fruits were denormalized into Postgres rows, you'd already have the behavior described.

I'm not sure from the article, but I'm guessing the difference here is that it will apply the updates in the correct order (using last writer wins) regardless of when the yjs doc hits the server. I guess the idea here is you can get decent offline-ish support without directly storing timestamps, version numbers, soft-deletes etc and associated logic.
> A mental conditioning fogs judgement. "Identifications" are mental conditionings that make you lose intellectual freedom.

Freedom and structure are always in contention as yin-yang, and you're completely ignoring the benefits structure can bring. I'd guess OP finds a lot of value in labeling themselves "queer", in that a lot of things that were ambiguous or confusing become clearer.
Yeah, last time I played around with it was something like FB/Bart-CNN but I was under the impression that things have evolved/changed a lot since then.

Oh, I agree. I recently purged my house of any USB-C cable that can’t charge my laptop. That means no long high speed cables. But knowing that power will always work is more important than maximizing transfer speeds for my applications.

Reading the comments on the bug, supporting comments for JPEG XL started flowing in there around 24 August 2022 (with a couple early ones on Aug 16 and 17). Was there some publicity about JPEG XL around that time, and did someone urge others to request Google to enable it by default? I can imagine that that was when the decision process at Google started whether to keep or remove it. The reasons for removal given on October 31 are rather vague and seem to underestimate the interest in the format.
Aren't shadows baked into the texture? Adding another dimension to the texture matrix of all structures seems dubious.
He comes off as Italian & opinionated, and writing informally about a topic. He probably doesn't feel the need to be circumspect about his observations on his own blog. Even though I think he's (mostly wrong) about his conclusions, I wouldn't ascribe jerkishness to what is probably an unintended cultural impedence mismatch.
Not impressed.

- harder maintenance

- more heat, less efficiency

- will accumulate dirt and other debris with no tilt

- will be damaged by animals and platnts

- bigger ecological footprint (not everything is carbon; we share this planet)

- better not be in any sort of flood plain (unless you think it'll survive the removal of an inch of silt across its whole surface)
Browser vendors have other priorities besides having the latest-greatest compressor: code size, attack surface, long-term maintenance and compatibility risks, and interoperability.

Having a format that is a few percent smaller than the formats they already have is just not a high priority.

This isn't a conspiracy against JPEG XL. Browser vendors (other than Google) have been resisting shipping WebP for 10 years, until Chrome-only websites forced them to. GIF still is a thing despite being by far the worst in every image benchmark.

Every few years browser vendors are asked to adopt a new format, which is then beaten by an even newer format, but the vendors are stuck supporting the old one forever. They've dodged the bullet on JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR, but are now stuck with WebP (and AVIF, if they were to replace it).

If in a few years it turns out everyone uses JXL and other vendors have it, Chrome can re-add it.

I thought it was the case in France, too, but as it turns out that's the limit only when one party is a company. There's no limit for transactions between individuals (with a few exceptions).

It's more along the lines of you develop tunnel vision. You just look at the next step ahead and you never backup and ask yourself whether the whole thing makes sense. You see it with all kinds of things including solving technical and other problems.

Once you've decided something is true, it's easy to dismiss all sorts of signals that maybe it isn't.
That's exactly correct; I currently want to learn this more so in a hobby/personal interest fashion. I think the field is quite competitive already and I'm not fooling myself about doing novel model-architecture work professionally.
Speed ratings aren’t guarantees by some all powerful creator, they are based around various assumptions and tests for manufacturing defects etc. At best you can get some estimates for the probability of failure given specific conditions but I sincerely doubt you have that.

In the end you can’t know what you are actually driving, only make reasonable assumptions about it. I know people that died at low speeds and high speeds, but statistically it’s high speeds that are the most significant risk and there isn’t anything you can do to eliminate those risks.

Is "direct debit" not a thing in the US?

All of my regular bills in the UK (mortgage, energy, water, internet, insurance, debt, probably some others I'm forgetting) are deducted automatically from my bank account every month. I don't have to think about it all - and there's zero possibility of nuking my credit score by accidentally missing a payment.

Having to remember to write a check for each bill every month sounds like an enormous (and enormously unnecessary) inconvenience. Is there really not a better option in the world's richest country in 2022?
I would be willing to go into an office now and then, if it weren't too far from my home. Not gonna sign up for a 2-hour commute, though. Also, I notice the story repeats the myth of creative collaboration through serendipitous physical interaction.
It can go the other way around too.
Well, that is how UNIX got its free beer adoption, which workstation startups like Sun took to their advantage.

Plan 9 and Inferno failed at that, because AT&T had already changed by then, and there was no more free beer.
I do.

Many years ago I have stopped drinking milk at breakfast, and for some years I have replaced it with various herbal teas.

Then I have realized that the teas did not provide anything that I cannot get better from other sources, so I have stopped adding the teas to the water, drinking just the plain warm water and compensating by increasing the amount of fresh or defrozen fruits that I eat at breakfast.
if it’s still open, I think I’ll take a stab at this in the near future…

A random password stored in a password manager is literally what a passkey is. Several password managers have announced support for storing passkeys just like your passwords.

Not sure you noticed - but your reply is to a new contributor to this discussion.

I agree - we shouldn't ban information, same as not cancelling people into oblivion, e.g. for jokes they made 10 years ago.

But /u/krapp made a valid point... "Misinformation is viral, information is not." ... or it seems to be that way.

There should be consequences for lying and spreading misinformation, esp if you have a large platform and your decisions will impact millions of people.

And my question prior... what do you think can be done to stop people like Trump rise to power - how can this system weed out narcissistic and self-serving people who don't care about progress or improving society. With those people in power long enough, we will eventually have a system where our freedoms will be taken away.
I seriously doubt that they would waste their time on this. They have much more powerful tools at their disposal.

1. Aatish Taseer: His OCI card (something like dual citizenship, but not quite) was cancelled. He claims he's been told not to even attempt to visit India ever again.

2. Rana Ayyub: she created a donation website and got clobbered with tax evasion.

3. Numerous NGOs: including Green Peace and Amnesty have had their licenses revoked.

There are many more such cases, but off the top of my head, these jumped out.
Trucks are only allowed to go at 100km/h at the highway in Germany and are therefore a major obstacle for the car drivers going at much higher speed.
They are not that much bigger and the power draw isn't much more either, what would you say? The DELL WYSE Dx0Q has 15w printed on the case. How many people need to print or buy a case for the rpi? The dell comes with one... and is easily interfaced with a HDD/SSD and super easy to connect a cheap microcontroller to get GPIO if you need that.
This was an almost incoherent, very poorly organized, and hard to read story.

Needs another pass by the editor before I can recommend anyone waste their time.

There wouldn't be 100 different chains all with their own tokens if crypto was actually usable in day to day transactions. Because it's unstable, no one can use it as such..except for those treating crypto like forex trading.

Real forex trading isn't that profitable, as most major currencies do not swing wildly in value against each other. With crypto, the opposite is true, meaning that there's potential to profit by spinning up your own coin.

From a brand popularity and professional use point of view, you are 100% correct. The various Titebond formulations are, I believe, the most widely used by carpenters in the US. However, all PVA glues are going to have extremely similar strength and overall properties, and they do have an excellent summary here:

https://www.thistothat.com/glue/pva.shtml

"Be wary of over priced PVAs that claim to be for a specific use. There is very little difference from one PVA to the other, and nothing that should increase the cost."

Titebond does have range of products, well described here:

https://thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/differences-between-ti...

but Titebond original would be considered to be nearly identical to the Elmers that they recommend
