Style queries are the only thing he talked about that's Chrome-only, and Chrome hasn't even shipped them yet. They're only available in Chrome Canary behind a flag.

Firefox is working on shipping :has() and Container Queries.

Safari supports everything besides style queries. Many of these, Safari shipped first. More importantly, these days, browsers often ship new CSS around the same time.

Plus you can always use Feature Queries (@supports) to conditionally test for support and apply different CSS depending on what's supported. That way users who haven't updated their software in years have a great experience, too.

So no, you don't have to wait to use this CSS. Just think through what you are doing. Learn how here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbSquHt1VCf1kpv9WRGMC...
No. It's for corporate bodies.

When a company goes into administration, the company is dead, and the business is taken over by 'administrators' who run the business and sell it on or wind it up in an orderly fashion.

The company is then closed down and any creditors of the company paid out of the remaining proceeds - after the administrators have taken their fee.

Think of them as corporate undertakers.
Maybe let's not jail anyone?

Putting kid's parents in jail is a surefire way to make sure that kids life becomes a stressful, scary, unsupported nightmare. Parents who let their kids use social media (i.e. almost every parent whose family has access to technology) are a lot better than no parents at all.

When people went nuts about matrix multiplication being racist I was the first in line to laugh them off. When people go nuts arguing that ChatGPT supports the gay agenda or whatever other hobgoblin, I feel compelled to laugh them off just as much.

A more interesting question is whether or not introducing post-hoc fixes like RLHF makes the model more or less useful; I can see both sides of the argument.
I don't think they're just missing the point; rather, their entire worldview and politics center on insisting that it does not exist. There's this idea that's been fairly widespread for a while that whatever views are held by extremely online left-wingers today are simply the correct, non-bigoted ones, and that the only reason that anyone would want to even give a label to them, let alone debate or challenge them, is to defend bigotry. (Not only that, if tomorrow or in a week or month or year those people change their view of the world, then those are simply the correct views and always have been.) The idea that this in itself is a form of bias, or that it gives power to a particular group of people who could be wrong, just is not within the accceptable range of thought.

Recording and mastering on analog equipment can have a HUGE impact on the recording - and it has nothing to do with quality, bitrate, frequency and all that stuff.

It's much simpler than that - it's not likely to be "on-grid."

Modern music is tracked and mixed in a DAW (digital audio workstation). In that DAW you specify the BPM. Artists and producers work hard to keep the music exactly in that BPM. The result is the music sounds dead and lifeless - it can't "breathe." They even have tools that can take performances that were tracked and align them to the beat (they do this for guitars, drums, pretty much everything).

Rick Beato did a video on this subject and chose Led Zeppelin and remastered some tracks to align to the grid and played the result. It went from sounding good to sounding awful. Here's a link - https://youtu.be/hT4fFolyZYU.

Note - there's nothing wrong with digital recording and playback. They're great, in fact they're better than anything we've ever had. The problem is computers make it tempting to make everything "perfect" and it's the pursuit of this perfection that's destroying the soul of music.
Always had a grass is greener mentality of the Labs but i suspect there are certainly their own set of challenges to overcome. Also i imagine if you are trying to level up competition is subtle but fierce at the higher levels given that its zero sum for the positions. I imagine multi year to decade long political campaigns for top positions in the orgs.

Staff levels probably pretty good if your motivation isn't to move upwards and focus on whatever your interests are.

These are my speculations.
Corporate training (not just on diversity, but also bribery, harassment, etc.) isn't solely focused on actually changing behaviour/attitudes. That's a nice side benefit, but it's unlikely that an hour of group discussion will persuade someone that maybe they should stop shouting slurs/defrauding customers.

This article ignores one of the more important aims of such training: it's an explicit signal of what behaviour will and will not be tolerated. It's a lot easier to get rid of someone who's broken a rule when they've got a certificate in understanding that rule.
COBOL has a couple of nice features for program portability:

- Numeric variables are usually specified with pictures and computations are performed with decimal arithmetic. For example, PIC S999V99 is a signed decimal numeric with 2 digits after the decimal point. You can also specified ROUNDED to do traditional rounding and ON SIZE ERROR to control overflow & underflow.

- Random keyed file access is part of the language.
I really love the idea of Mac mini, but when you add some more RAM and disk price is almost the same as for MacBook PRO, where you get almost the same hardware a superb display and a keyboard built in. And you can carry it around with you. These machines almost make no sense because of that.

Sure! But you need to be a testing practitioner anyway. I agree that perhaps the number of tests is different, but the teams processes and cultures should already be there.

But to counter myself, the perceived lack of developer speed and flexiblity of a strongly typed language (with Rust, I always get the feeling that I'm fighting with the compiler!) is also solved in the long run with practice and tooling.

>Conservatism generally follows the principle of “be conservative in your attempts to alter society”.

This is a nice fuzzy thought, but doesn't seem to be true in practice. It's not about conserving society, but the status quo. Society seemed to do pretty well with Roe v Wade.
Indeed. Very big targets are taken by 0 days, and like Op above mentioned, low hanging fruits are taken by parallel construction. Looks like there is a sweet spot in the middle, where they can’t be bothered.
Apple is free to port the docker daemon to run natively on OS X.

So you took the wrong lesson entirely?

The real lesson from it would seem to me to be your first thoughts on what steps to do first in your build may be wrong. Profile until you find your best time to build, then lock it in.

Non-determinism can be handy for discovering new things about what you're dealing with, nut once you've got it; for heaven sake, lock it in.

Oddly, one of the sites I did actually correspond with online at the time was a university in Moscow. I had a job working for a grant in cross-cultural communication that used a sort of online model UN simulation with teams spread all over. It was pretty neat.
It's made the bot almost completely useless for writing any form of fiction. If anything even slightly questionable happens, or even if it doesn't, it insists on explaining that this is fiction, that the characters learned from that, etc. etc. Heavy-handed morals are not normally what I'm going for.

This doesn't require asking for anything bawdy. Any story that's even mildly interesting will trigger this behaviour.

The problem is terms like neoclassical already have established meaning in the field of economics, so it's probably best to use those terms in order to avoid confusion. Adam Smith is pretty much the father of classical economics, and most of the classical economists were doing works of political economy. The vast majority of them are very much concerned with the morality of the systems they advocate for. Neoclassical economics is most of the mainstream economists that come after Keynes up until the stagflation in the 70s. Now we have new classical economics, new Keynesian economics, and the new neoclassical synthesis. It gets pretty messy, but I'm not sure adding new terminology that has different meaning to the established terminology is particularly helpful.

What does Electric Make do? Have you considered Landlock Make? https://github.com/jart/landlock-make It's a GNU Make fork that uses pledge() and unveil() which is based on the Landlock security module which was introduced into the Linux Kernel two years ago. https://justine.lol/make/ Using this tool, it becomes impossible to specify build rules that fail to declare dependencies, because userspace sandboxing prevents it. This sandboxing goes 2x faster than Bazel. There's also an mkdeps.com program for C/C++ projects that can generate dependencies for 1m+ LOC projects in ~100ms.
Something very odd about this setup. Lots of marketing and PR - not a lot of construction or engineering.

My point isn't so much to reinvent Git's model (aka tree of blobs/commit/commit-graph), but rather to make it a part of a programmable interactive environment, and then just do the right thing from the user perspective.

That would include:

(1) Develop a UI for navigating the model,

(2) Develop a set of commands that act on the objects of that model.

I do want to append to the Git model by introducing the staging step for the whole tree (this, unlike with commits, won't have to have a history). I also think it could be possible to make it more flexible. So, you could say that there are blobs. But instead of blobs you could have some other kind of object too: for example the kind that would lazily compute itself from the definition of some other similar object. Or the kind of of object that would have knowledge about its contents, have an efficient way of storing it, maybe. So, I don't really want blobs (binary large objects), but rather a general kind of objects. Such objects would obviously need to conform to some API spec. Such objects could be written by the user (although, then he would have to supply the definitions to the others who want to use this). A tree could hold different kinds of such objects.

There's definititely some design that will have to go into commands. The commands would have to be taught to be context-sensitive (e.g. to selections or to the current state of the graph or commit).

A session-time undo graph for the repo-staging tree could be built as well. Easy implementation: copy the whole damn thing to memory on every change (only works for small repos, but that's a start). Harder implementation: define the inverses for the commands and build an undo graph.

I will admit: I am by no means an expert on version control systems. So, thanks for expressing the fact I didn't write about this, there's definitely some challenge to this, and I don't have any sort of final design in my head quite yet.
This seems to work, thanks!

Lessons from the Last AI Cycle
It is disturbing that, in American politics, "conservative" is basically synonymous with "right-wing nationalist." They've managed to turn a useful term used by a minority into a pejorative, "bias." At a time when it is really hard to distinguish fact from fiction in media we're on the verge of having super-convincing auto-complete generating a deluge of generated media.

It seems it is becoming a political goal to influence the models used by tools like this in order to be able to continue to push narratives where a word like "woke" becomes a fear-mongering headline bait term.

Not sure we're ready, as a society, for these NLP tools.
Well, no. Controlled burns were suppressed for decades on end [0]. It's one of the reasons for the absolutely unforgettable fires (cf. "gigafire"[1]) various places on Earth have been experiencing for the past few years straight. "Modern forestry" is getting its act together, slowly, but I don't think it's particularly controversial to suggest that the historical prevent-fires-at-all-costs thing is because of a reflexive, unexamined "fire bad" -- nor to notice that the historical thing was prevent-fires-at-all-costs.

Maybe I'm an economic illiterate, but I think saying that "most central banks [have been] increasing rates in response to inflation" is something similar. It seems to me that, if the actual intent was to combat inflation, the rates' rise would have to be a little more aggressive than it's been.

If one understands "modern forestry" to have been mostly about a reflexive, individualistic "fire bad", then the seemingly-irrational departure from the thoughtful Native controlled-burn-style management makes sense. If one understands "MMT", or maybe just "neoliberalism", as a fig-leaf to cover whatever economic activity and behaviour and model-making is most profitable to the players of the modern Great Game, then the ways and means of "governmental" "macroeconomic" activity make sense, too.

Put another way, from the perspective of an adherent of steady-state economics, the "business cycle" looks like the wobble of a wheel spinning out of true. What is a wheel for?

I was a summer intern at LBNL as a student. Beautiful views and very smart people (and very big computers).

The cafeteria is way less fancy than tech company cafeterias. :-)

As a few posts have pointed out, there are national labs that do only unclassified work (LBNL is one). So you don't have to get a clearance or be prohibited from accessing lots of places or conversations, and you don't have to work on weapons. You do still have to sign a loyalty oath as a state government employee (the lab being managed under contract by the University of California), something that became highly objectionable to me in retrospect.

Of course it's not a good thing. General-purpose AI should not be overridden or forcefully trained to favor one political view over another.

I could add more and more detail, but at some point it doesn't make the comment more helpful, and there's a tradeoff in terms of readability. People are less likely to read super long and jargon-filled comments.

Also, there's a tradeoff in writing something quickly and having it get lots of eyeballs, at a time when those eyeballs are seeing other advice that is much less correct.

Lastly, I did refer to almost all of these specifics in my other comments on the page. But there is no way to include all possible detail in a comment like this, and if someone did it would not get read nearly as much. Also, retroactive changes to tax law are very disfavored at law and would undoubtedly be challenged in court.

There are still some Mom & Pop shops that will put together a custom machine for you, but if you are talking about completely new computer architectures that aren't compatible with anything else the barriers to entry are so much higher. The expectations are miles away from where they were in the 80s. Back when everybody sucked it didn't matter that your first product barely works and had few capabilities. Today your competition is Intel, AMD, nVidia, Apple, etc... Trying to stand out compared to the giants is much harder. Plus you have to deal with the software. Making a DOS clone is no problem. Making a Windows 11 clone is orders of magnitude more work.
https://archive.is/cR213 - a Times piece from November. They tried to find a buyer and failed but I wouldn't be surprised if some of those interested pick up the pieces from Administration at a haircut of what they would have had to pay.

Definitely. I think Gmail spam filtering has just gone haywire with way too much input, ChatGPT style sales pitches, and too much clutter.

At Skiff (https://skiff.com/mail), we use RSPAMD (https://rspamd.com/), an open-source spam filtering framework. It's not as sophisticated, but it is highly explainable and works consistently. I much prefer this + inbox rules to anything else.

As the bulk of such services are based in other countries I imagine that the most obvious result would be that the executives of the companies concerned would simply never visit the UK for fear of arrest and nothing else would change.

I think of wills as more of a practical matter. If we got rid of them, the elderly would just give their stuff away before they died, to the same end. Oh! But what about those that die unexpectedly? It would be unfair to them since they didn't get that opportunity. And primates have an overdeveloped sense of fairness. So we have wills.

What you're describing as "known" was not known. If you remember, the ACLU attempted to take the government to court over the Presidential Surveillance Program several years before the Snowden Revalations. They lost because they didn't have evidence.

The government had classified evidence of their crimes making possessing evidence of them breaking the law illegal. SCOTUS ruled that they couldn't charge the government of a crime without possessing that evidence.

Snowden gave us that evidence allowing citizens to, once again, bring charges against the government in 2013 and winning the case in 2017.

Some rumors are true. Some rumors are false. Rumors do not a court case make. The Snowden Revalations do.
