Idk if being JS heavy was the issue here, but Twitch had terrible performance on Firefox for years. I installed Brave specifically for Twitch (and Twitch alone), and could finally use the site without everything feeling sluggish and super laggy.

I don't use Twitch much anymore, but the one time I opened it recently (for NeoVimConf), it seemed much better.
have you considert duckduckgo with bangs? I use them daily e.g. `!so <query>` would search on stack overflow. U can use `!g` if you ever need google again.
A well-adjusted person should be able to signal some degree of confidence about what they're saying ("I know that…", "I think that…", "Maaaaaaybe…", etc). That's an anspect that ChatGPT doesn't have.
Google was better, too. This is because someone decided it was better to sell ads than give people the most relevant results. It’s not like it’s an unsolved problem in computer science to block persistent spam / scraper / cloaking domains — someone at Google told the people who used to do that to stop.
You..you do have control over the devices without internet access. That's the point.

You don't have '100% control' over things like code because they're embedded, certified devices, generally.
The Decree Design Pattern
I've been using this pattern of naming and structuring service objects over the past ~year. It's initially been greeted with some uncertainty and skepticism when I introduce it to new developers, but it tends to grow on folks as they give it a shot and look at how it's already been used.

I wrote this up partially to codify some of how I've been explaining it to folks ad-hoc, but also to share with the broader community and get input on this way of extracting processes in Ruby/Rails projects.
40. I had the misfortune of getting the worst of both worlds.

Prep school, from 6-12 was a nightmarish place where it was still 1935 - masters from my time there are now in prison with good reason. Corporal punishment was a daily fact of life - a caning was a relief compared to some of the options.

Secondary school - in the shell, we were made to fag, and prefects were permitted to issue corporal punishment, which happened frequently. Nothing testosterone-fuelled about it - cold and calculating. “You will convene at 5am at the oaks in full uniform”, and then whatever horrors they could come up with. Ski squats that would go on for hours. Standing outside at night in soaked clothing. The occasional good old fashioned beating. In my remove year it was decided that shells were too young for the heavy duty of fagging and it could be damaging to them - so the removes did it. In the fifth form they abandoned fagging and replaced it with “fifth form house duties”.

You learned to live under utterly arbitrary rules.

By the time we were in the sixth, duties were phased out and replaced with hired staff, and corporal punishment - in fact any prefect-meted punishment whatsoever - was banned in response to an incident involving cricket bats that resulted in a pupil being hospitalised for quite some time. Well, that and the law finally mandated it.

My kid brother went there, starting a year after I left, and had a markedly different experience. En-suite showers! We had a frigid communal shower for my first two years, never mind en-suite. It’s like we went there a century apart.

That all said, by the time I was at secondary school it was all old hat - there was a marked difference between the boys who started boarding with secondary school and those who had been through prep school - we were the wise old hands, the lifers, the ones who knew the grift. Prep school, I find it hard to talk about.

Turns out there’s a term for this stuff - “Boarding School Syndrome”.

> always possible for a machine to perform their job cheaper.

> the State and private entities will build welfare programs or UBI.

These two things don't seem to add up. If you're paying the person anyway why not have them do a job? It's not as if the labor of the AGI is free. The only way this would make any kind of economic sense is if the labor of the AGI is so superior to the human that it effectively creates additional value that compensates for the friction of having both the working AGI and the compensated, but non-working human. And in that case you need to start factoring in all of the externalities (including psychological welfare of the jobless human).

Edit to add: If an AGI is so good, can't it come up with productive jobs that are better done by humans than by it? Or is this kind of like the "can god make a mountain that he can't lift?" question?
Back in the early 2000s I helped create policy and procedures at Google to stop this kind of thing. Google's early anti-malware policies, extended to ads, and internal procedures to make sure we effectively stopped malware ads. That was a long time ago though and it's sad and frustrating to read it's not working so well now.

In particular the article points out several big red flags about how malware scanners are automatically finding the site and download are suspicious. It's a shame Google Ads isn't using that information.

(As for DownloadStudio, they have a Wikipedia page that looks 100% innocuous. Searching for "DownloadStudio" has Google search offering an inline answer to "Is DownloadStudio safe" with a reference to the website for DownloadStudio saying "yes it's safe". In this case the inline result is actively harmful. https://i.imgur.com/37GzDKe.png)
Carmack says he's pursuing a different path to AGI, then goes straight to the guy at the center of the most saturated area of machine learning (deep learning)?

I would've hoped he'd be exploring weirder alternatives off the beaten path. I mean, neural networks might not even be necessary for AGI, but no one at OpenAI is going to tell Carmack that.
- How about an aggregate function and year/decade result filters?

Also, at least on the Disney blu-ray releases, there were some notable differences between the English dub and the English subtitles. The most glaring one I ever saw was in Porco Rosso when Curtis says he's from Alabama in the subtitles but from Texas in the dub. The Japanese voice acting is also usually way superior, even though they hire quality actors for the dubs.

For example, Gillian Anderson is a great actress but she doesn't do the character of Moro (in Princess Mononoke) justice, especially compared to the Japanese VA (Akihiro Miwa).

They aren't on the NICB list of the top ten most stolen:

1. Chevrolet Pick-Up (Full Size) 48,206
2. Ford Pick-Up (Full Size) 47,999
3. Honda Civic 31,673
4. Honda Accord 30,274
5. Toyota Camry 17,270
6. GMC Pick-Up (Full Size) 15,599
7. Nissan Altima 14,108
8. Honda CR-V 13,308
9. Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee 13,210
10. Toyota Corolla 12,927

(understandably, that is basically the list of the best-selling vehicles)

However, there's only 1 Kia on the IIHS "most likely to be stolen" list:

1. Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
2. Dodge Charger HEMI
3. Infiniti Q50
4. Dodge Challenger
5. Land Rover Range Rover four-wheel drive
6. Land Rover Range Rover Sport 4WD
7. Nissan Maxima
8. Kia Rio
9. Dodge Charger
10. Honda Accord

So, why are they still insuring Dodge Chargers?

> If they've tempered inflation, then why did the Fed just raise them again, and suggest they might be raised even more?

Inflation is still at 6.5%, which is greater than the interest rate.

> No, the Fed has explicitly said that their goal is to reduce wage growth.

No, they explicitly did not say this. This is the nonsense framing that I'm talking about. The Federal Reserve does fear a wage price spiral, but that's because that's a feedback loop that undermines economic stability. Inflation affects everyone. Meanwhile, wage increases benefit some people more than others, for example younger workers who are happy to job hop. Meanwhile, others are stuck paying higher prices on the same income.
Thanks for the suggestion !

You can't (as far as I can tell, and I'd love to be wrong!) set add-ons to only activate on certain containers in Firefox. You have to setup separate profiles, which are fully isolated browser contexts and only install extensions you want into each profile.

It's the biggest thing that I like better about Chrome - the profiles are seamless and easy to switch and I can set up different profiles with different extensions.

Containers work "ok" for Firefox for me, but for my biggest use-cases, like splitting work, personal, banking, shopping (e.g. where "Honey" or "Rakuten" are allowed to live) into different contexts with different extensions - Chrome is so much more seamless/effortless.
In the last quarter I’ve seen high yield savings accounts go from 3% to 5% at doctorofcredit. This is just anecdotal but it’s the reality I see that isn’t reflected in the links you provided (and it’s more recent).
In practice there's no such as thing as "unlimited immigration". There are natural limitations such as available jobs, housing and people willing to relocate.

That's a politicised absolute which is clearly false. I think your political biases are colouring this.

I go back to my previous example. The UK doesn't try to impose government control on movement between its constituent countries, and the US doesn't limit movement between states. Freedom of movement improves economic outlook.

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments and came across Parkinson’s Herbal Treatment from Health Natural Centre ( healthnaturalcentre .org ), the treatment has made a very huge difference for her. Her symptoms including body weakness and her tremors disappeared after few months on the treatment. She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) and able to ride her treadmill again. God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
Yeah, CloudFlare was unique among the companies in this space that we contacted. The others' sales folks all gave way more shits, even at fairly big companies where I'm certain we wouldn't be a notably-large account. They were also by far the least-interested in tailoring their plan. "Oh you don't want to pay for this giant pile of stuff you don't need? Hm. Well. Too bad." Seemed like they wanted all-or-nothing, for enterprise plans, which leaves a big gap in their offerings between the top self-serve and the bottom end of enterprise—seems like a pretty major gap in their funnel, letting all those accounts just leave if they exceed self-serve but can't justify the very-expensive minimum enterprise plan, but I guess it's working for them?
I would not expect an international audience to know what the heck Louisiana might be, even if they could figure out that LA is the postal abbreviation for it. Would you understand if a title used "MZ" to refer to the Polish province with a comparable population and economic prominence?

I'm confused about the confusion. This is probably one of the most common ways people obtain software.
I’ve noticed that in larger technology companies there has also been a trend towards getting a “Manager” title but leading a team of 1-2 people. Maybe there will be intent to grow this to 3-4 people or more in future years, but that hinders giving others a title and their own small team (which can be considered career progression).

Then you might see another leader (Manager of Managers, or “MoM”) who has 5 of these small-team managers, a different title, but a total organization size of 10-15 people.

This feels like a shift from a generation ago when the bigger technology companies wanted flatter organizations and most managers would have teams of 8-12 people, the MoM roles might be 50-80 people, and beyond that executive roles with 100s of people.

> Tether is supposedly...

> Tether minting seems...

> The story goes...

This is all very hand-wavey. Never concrete statements.

The minting happens at the portal (eg Binance). There's no sense for an exchange to mint a liability without collateral.

I gave an example of liquidations resulting in new Tether. I don't know what you count as a spike, but liquidations happen all the time. The exchanges report liquidations publicly. A lot happened recently with BTC's move up. You can also see open interest increase or decrease on liquidations depending on if a short or long position is liquidated. Again, those contracts are settled in Tether, so it would make sense for Tether market cap to increase on asset price increases.

There are also funding requirements at different times. The more people short a contract, the more they pay to their counter-party until they close the position. Same is true for longs. One side or the other are incentivized with higher or lower rates to keep the contract in line with spot price. This is an ongoing cost. It fluctuates throughout the day.

It's a well known signal to watch stablecoin market caps as a ratio of total crypto market cap - (USDC+USDT)/Total. This ratio is currently at the midpoint. Leverage increasing means stablecoin MC increases. Leverage decreasing, means stablecoin MC decreases. It doesn't go down 100%. You will see it trend up.

Here are a couple examples I quickly found:

https://twitter.com/WClementeIII/status/1552380899857235969

https://twitter.com/chestbrook/status/1513150205973118981

> they take the Tethers and buy BTC

Even when it was down 77% from its high in Nov. 2021, people were saying this. Still down 64%. Of all the assets in the world Tether could buy with their "IOUs", I don't know why people keep saying they're buying BTC. I don't know where this idea came from, or how it possibly makes sense.

FYI - USDC market cap increased more than USDT in 2022. Where are the "Circle is buying BTC with IOUs" conspiracies?
The fact that any Xorg client can become a key logger without any user input or authentication is a pretty big security hole imo.

By design Xorg has no isolation between clients so they can all read each others input, control others windows, and inject keystrokes into other applications. That’s unacceptable in the modern age and makes any attempt at sandboxing or separation of privileges for GUI applications completely pointless.
Two things.

1. I hate how everything has to have a financialised solution:

To achieve this, the report suggests “mobilizing international financial support” and implementing tools such as “fertilizer contract swaps” to keep farmer costs manageable.

2. I read articles like this and wonder, will the world ditch meat, or will will the richer countries continue to eat ridiculous amounts of the stuff, using up all the land that could grow food for a plant based diet? Something will have ti give at some point.
This makes me laugh - I've found myself appending "reddit" to my search queries more and more frequently when looking for product or service reviews.

Yup.

As a pattern matching engine it's extraordinarily good. Ask it about the implications of some obscure theory and it will usually correctly interpret your question and return some sentences summarising the current state of knowledge on that theory. Ask it to explain it in simpler terms and it will simplify the sentence structure, swap some words and usually retain meaning.

But then... ask it for some reading material on the same obscure theory and it'll use its knowledge of scientific papers on those theories and academic citation to return a well formatted list of papers with plausible titles and authors with the significant flaw that none of these papers exist. The dumbest guy in the room would struggle to make up plausible sounding scientific papers even if you gave them the reading list, but then the dumbest person in the room wouldn't be dumb enough to use the reading list to make up some nonexistent papers in the first place! (and ironically nor would the dumbest information retrieval algorithm in the room...)

Bordering on dysfunctional internally? Do you have any evidence to support that? Real evidence, so that we aren’t thrashing in a sea of conjecture, speculation and politics. People confidently predicted that twitter would grind to a halt a month or two ago… the rumor gained momentum and everyone was saying it. And it turned out to be nonsense. If people actually required a little evidence before believing things instead of playing make-believe like you then it would save people from looking really stupid and wasting their time with vapid rumors.
