So I've always been pretty against listening to Podcasts via Spotify, so much so that I completely stopped listening to Last Podcast on the Left when they announced they were moving to Spotify.

I was driving recently though and tried to use Spotify to listen to a podcast. I just wanted to queue the whole season from episode 1 to episode N. The listing seemed to mix both seasons, and episodes were in some random order. I had to manually add the episodes to my queue which seemed.. odd.
A seemingly fitting answer that has nether understood the actual issue nor proposes a solution to be voted as the top answer anyone accepts.

Actually a very true and sad analogy
No, borovinčevec is made with blueberry (latin Vaccinium). blueberry in Croatian and Slovenian is borovnica.
I agree with you completely, Javascript has been a step backwards from what could have been, had we been teaching teenagers to glom the VM onto C/C++ layers. This is just a much better approach than 'npm all the things' .. although Lua isn't without its warts: LuaJIT, LuaRocks, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 ..
This is done already in various mobile Linux distributions.
No, projects can do what they want, but if having a build setup is your biggest problem you need to solve, you are pretty lucky.

Anyway, my real problem is to be able to easily create modules that I can use everywhere, on the backend, and in the browser. I don't think Deno makes that easier than Node, because for the web, I still need to add a build step using esbuild. So for me, Deno is pretty pointless. But that's just my opinion.
Skylines (which I liked) still has weird simulation errors. Like how many ships arrive at ports, which is an ever-changing amount and has no or little relation to the real transport demand. And the amount of trains using a train line depends on the number of stations, meaning outgoing train lines always need to be connected to a single one to not overflow.

How single agents path is also weird, like how much they walk. I think I remember that homes were also not persistent?

When separating city blocks completely fires would not get extinguished. Either the fire station assigned is random, or only a few actually can send cars out. Which breaks down in a city not fully connected by streets.

Haven't played for a few years now (last run was with the industries dlc), but also haven't read about patches adressing such issues.
There is absolutely no mystery here, and it's got nothing to do with social media:

[1]

Of note: 18% of teen girls said they had experienced some form of sexual violence in the past year, compared to only 5% of teen boys.

The rate of teen girls who have experienced sexual violence has increased by 20% since 2017, when the CDC first started tracking the measure, per ABC News. "The percentage of male students who experienced sexual violence by anyone did not change," the report stated. Nearly 15% of teen girls said they had ever been forced to have sex, a 27% jump from 2019 and the first increase since the CDC began tracking the metric, per the Washington Post.

4% of teen boys said they had ever been forced to have sex, with no increase reported.

the evidence is the same of the elections: if only 30% of the people vote, the most loved vote was non voting.

I don't see PHP programmers going to Stackoverflow to vote for PHP, but it still gets a lot more things done than Rust, for sure.

And not because they don't like the language, but because "normies" don't go out talking about their love for the hammer or their drill or their kitchen too... no wait, chefs talk about their knives constantly!
> Are 2000 winamp and 2022 spotify app comparable?

In my opinion - yes. Most of what Spotify provides implemented in the cloud (on server side). Client is a UI to select and stream music. Winamp supported music streaming to but didn't have an advanced UI to select what to stream. I see no fundamental reasons why a desktop app for Spotify should use much more resources. Given open API it should be possible to make a Spotify plugin for Winamp.

I haven't used Spotify desktop app but can guess it is written using electron or something like that and this is the main reason it uses much more RAM/CPU than Winamp, not because it does more work.

Probably not too big of a deal, though.

Also, this might be useful: https://owasp.org/www-project-modsecurity-core-rule-set/

Though there has been some critique of ModSecurity and that ruleset in the past, as something dated and with false positives.

Anyone have any good alternatives?

Namecheap lost all my 'loyalty' when I started tracing where all the SMS phish sites I was getting were hosted.

Finding out this was Namecheap didn't sour me. Finding out they don't take the sites down quickly enough* to be worth reporting put the wheels in motion to move all my domains off them.

Unfortunately I can no longer find what ticked me off in the first place as search engines are full of blogs writing about their recent email breach.

* The NSC seems to agree with me rather than my expectations being too high (PDF, page 8) https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/files/Active-Cyber-Defence-ACD-The-F...

> Looking specifically at the number of campaigns hosted by NameCheap against its monthly median attack availability, we see that by mid-year the median takedown times were consistently in excess of 60 hours. This undoubtedly made NameCheap an attractive proposition to host phishing and may explain the rise in monthly hosted campaigns that followed for UK government-themed phishing.

I think at least the profile of illnesses must have changed.

I spent a year on a rather isolated base on an island, with about 50 other people. Hygiene was certainly not as good as it is here in the civilised world as we often didn't have running water, ate wild meat that had simply been stored in the cold outside for days, food products with an expiration date a few years in the past, etc, and we just didn't get sick. We got sick when the supply ship came, though. It wasn't Antarctica either, the conditions are mostly similar to Northern Europe, not so different from Brittany.

I think the situation is quite similar to how humans lived for a long time, in small groups with only occasional contact with strangers, and in these conditions I'm sure infectious disease was much less common than it is now.

Of course disease did exist, but I think it would mostly have been diseases brought by insects or other vectors, not as much things like the flu or the common cold.
Wolfe is a known liar. In The Electric Koolaid Acid Test he completely embellished the meeting between Tim Leary and Ken Kesey. The account in that book was written to titillate readers and in no way resembles historical fact. The idea that Wolfe can be considered a 'journalist' at all is absurd on its face.
Definitely. And I think one of the reasons this approach is so powerful as well as being safer - when done properly - is that it follows the philosophy embodied in the OSI model. By glomming the VM onto a hierarchy of abstraction, one is fulfilling the OSI intention of clean separation of concerns.

This isn't so easy to do in the Javascript jungle, alas.

Happy to read your article, we are very much aligned. I hope your work brings more programmers to the world of Lua ..

Part is contextual rather than geographical. People tend to lump countries which used to form Yugoslavia together as the Balkans and view them as somewhat similar to Romania from an economic point of view. Meanwhile, Greece which is definitely part of the Balkan Peninsula is lumped with southern countries like Italy, Spain and Portugal because it entered the EU as an early member at roughly the same time despite it bordering the European part of Turkey which most would definitely view as eastern.

The issue described relates more to any dependency with the more core and critical the dependency the worse the problem can be. A ‘framework’ is just part of the rough taxonomy of dependencies and happens to often be core and critical.

You can rather easily infer a earliest possible date based on multiple ways, and of course intersect them to make a more solid hypothesis.

One thing is that human being generally very bad at predicting specific future event, if a text depict such an event, chances are good that the document was written after this event.

There are also things like which script/police was used, as well as other philologists cues.

The material used to make the document can also give you a rough idea of when it was created, even without isotopic analysis: people didn’t have easy access to the same technologies and primary material over time and region.

Of course, counterfeit of something that seems older than it really is always a possibility. Time travel to the past is far less probable though. :)

I think your "wide" narrative is actually still a very narrow narrative.

The actual wide narrative is this: yes the models lie and hallucinate, but people are realizing now that this is essentially what every human AND website currently does now! Every human presents their "facts" and "viewpoints" as though they know the whole truth but really they are just parroting whatever talking points they got from BBC or TheGuardian or Fox News, and all of those journalists are just using other sources with their own biases and inaccuracies. Basically, it's bullshit and inaccuracies all the way down!

I was chatting with my friends when out for dinner last night about ChatGPT and we concluded that while it does have inaccuracies, it's still better than asking humans for information and still better then the average Google SEO-Spam website. That is, what makes us think random human made website about say space travel is more or less accurate than ChatGPT or what our friend Bob thinks about space travel.

The truth is, most of the information we receive on a daily basis is inaccurate or hallucinated to some degree, we just have gotten "used" to taking whatever the BBC or Bloomberg or ArsTechnica says as "the truth."

Simcity (originally) was based on problematic books like Urban Dynamics (https://www.polygon.com/videos/2021/4/1/22352583/simcity-hid...), which has heavily influenced every other city builder ever since. I don't think things like the lack of parking are an accident. I wouldn't be surprised if real harm caused by social policy/planning could be traced to some degree to Simcity.

growth, definition: the act or process, or a manner of growing; development; gradual increase.

If something grows from 1 to 2 it doubled.

If something grows from 100 to 101 its growth was 1%.

In absolute terms it's the same amount.

So you got it backwards.

The specific incident was the Charlottesville protests and consequent murders by white supremacists. They had stepped in to defend Jason Kessler's argument against moving the protest (where the city wanted to move the protest because they correctly identified the violence that would occur) and made a ton of PR gaffes during this time. As a result the ACLU ended up losing a ton of support both externally and internally because they had played a part in an event that was obviously going to turn violent.
Is their IPv6 implementation is still broken? It was the reason I moved off immediately after banging my head for a few hours because they somehow managed to screw it up despite RFCs advising how to do such deployments.
Carbon dating can help, since it gives an upper bound on the age (a terminus post quem if you want to be fancy; the manuscript wouldn't have have been written while the parchment was still hide on a cow) and the pages would probably have been written on fairly recently after being turned into parchment. Of course parchment can have its initial contents scraped off and reused, or overwritten which complicates matters. But as you say, an expert palaeographer can probably eyeball the age of a manuscript quite often, since the style of handwriting is largely dictated by both time and place. For example, to my (untrained) eye the hand in the manuscript in the article looks a bit like an insular script[0], which is specific to the British isles at time in question. An Italian of French manuscript of similar age would have a different script. And as others have pointed out for some manuscripts record sleuthing can find stuff surprisingly far back.

I have a synology nas and is unable to stop the spinning disks. A shame, every other thing in it is nice, but could have beter optimizations, as the disk are the most of its energy consumption.
I have a 5 year old home server I'd love to replace as it idles at 40w, while an old laptop that could do the job idles at 12w. What I'd like to do is merge that and my old NAS, so ideally somethig with a few sata slots, m2 ssd, and low idle power. Any recommendations for this?
This is preferable to banning information. The requirements would be that it teaches techniques to detect propaganda, not to use any case studies that aren't really disinformation and just a different perspective.

If large tech companies use this instead of listening to government about which topics are promoted or removed, I would support this approach.

As another comment already said, propaganda operations would be a good starting point as this is the most important and most dangerous form of disinformation. Creating rumors of widespread disinformation could be a form of propaganda too. This needs to be included as well.
That realistic model it builds of the information you are feeding it, if that’s how we measure its intelligence, then why is the answer it gives sometimes so “smart” yet in other instances where the question is simpler it seems “dumb” (provides an incorrect answer confidently)?
Show HN: V-Agent and custom GPT, connecting GPT to multiple channels: phone, web
What do you think about having a customized version of GPT that answers your customers on the phone or interacts with users of your site thanks to a widget?

Well, thanks to the integration of V-Agent V7 with GPT, it is now possible.

By combining the dialogue management capabilities of the V-Agent, the HyperNET omnichannel infrastructure, and the potential of GPT, you can create virtual agents that can:

Provide information and support to your customers via telephone

Provide information and support to your website users using a convenient web widget

It`s important to note that:

The GPT model is customized with your company data (website content, interaction logs with support agents, brochures, etc...)

The V-Agent provides the functionality of dialogue management, Intent classification, and much more, and it is possible to control the logic thanks to the DML language

It is possible to choose what to delegate to GPT and what to manage directly using the Intellexere engine of the V-Agent

Thanks to webhooks, it is possible to integrate everything with third-party software easily

For the telephone channel, the telephone infrastructure is provided by DataKnowl. It takes five minutes to configure a telephone number and connect it with the V-Agent and GPT

The integration is in private beta, requesting early access is very simple:

https://forms.zohopublic.com/business1775/form/GPTVAgentV7In...

Getting started with V-Agent is pretty simple and fast, documentation:

The battery issue is likely because sleep is no longer sleep. Laptops have stopped properly supporting S3 sleep, where the cpu is off but memory is retained. Often what you get these days is S1 sleep where the system can be woken by software and start installing updates.

Older laptops don't have this issue so bttery use is no problem.
> I still remember how bad it was before electron as a windows user. Half the apps that seemed cool(omnifocus, bear notes) had mac only desktop version, other(1password, evernote) had a native windows version that felt ugly and unpolished.

My experience was very different, may be because I don't care much about how an app looks but care is it allows me to do what I need to do fast. Before electron most apps followed Microsoft UI guidelines, had consistent look and feel, hot keys for most functions with basic hot keys (like save/open/help e. t. c.) consistent in different apps, low UI latency (unless the system is swapping but electron made this problem worse by using more RAM).

It was about time to create some ethical framework for text-2-image systems.

I have an extremely nice Crombie overcoat that cost north of £1000. I wear it every day.

I've always liked to have a coat of that sort of style in the winter, and have usually ended up buying a new one each year. They get a beating, as I wear them throughout the winter, workdays and weekends, and I generally only have one. It's a second skin. Coats usually can't stand up to that for long.

I'm reaching the end of the third winter with the Crombie and it looks as good as new. It has always looked way better than any coat I've had. On several occasions random passers-by have commented on it, and I live in London where people generally don't do that sort of thing. It is a really rather fabulous coat, and I love wearing it.

The thing is, after 3 winters the average cost of this coat per winter is now about the same as that of all the other coats I've bought over the years. Probably a bit less. As it weathers a few more years, which I'm confident it will, it will become cheaper than them.

My father has a Crombie that I think he's worn like twice. What's the point?

Buy well made, hardwearing clothes (if you can find them), and wear them. You and the world will be better off for it.
