Manifest v3 didn't kill ah blockers. It just got rid of the webRequestBlocking API and replaced it with declarativeNetRequest. This mean you don't have to give ad blockers permission to see all of the requests you are making. Ad blockers can still dynamically create rules for what requests they want to block.

Housing is the largest expense for most people, so yes, they would have been better off, because housing would be affordable.

Even software engineers consider housing there to be absurdly expensive.

AdGuard article contains this :

Acknowledging these apprehensions, Mozilla announced last year that Firefox would continue to support the webRequest API to block entire categories of HTTP requests in its implementation of Manifest V3...

And, per AdGuard, is now shipping that.
Yes? Nothing to do with manifest v3?

Also, better than any other browser on Android.

Chrome allows no addons.

Samsung internet and Edge only has Adblock Plus.

Brave, Opera and Vivaldi has its own built-in adblockers.

There is Kiwi browser and Bromite but those where way behind on Chromium versions last I checked.

On android and IOS I would use Brave and/or Firefox.
No, multiple personality is different. Schizophrenia is distinct from MPD, but both are characterized by having multiple persons resident in one brain, it just manifest differently. In MPD the multiple persons swap in and out, whereas in schizophrenia there is one person who is definitely the real resident while the others are intruders. Schizophrenics really do hear voices, and those voices are "someone else". With MPD you have multiple coherent personalities manifesting themselves at different times. With schizophrenia you have one personality slowly being driven crazy by not being able to make the voices shut up.

You are very much in the minority. There were many jokes about Carter at the time. Many comedians did impressions of him. He was not known for his great oratory. He was often referred to as a technocrat.

I think things will “bounce” between:

- AI providing shareholder ROI and “releasing” labor back into the labor pool. Making people either choose to be homeless or accept the lowest paying jobs that are not yet done by AI.

- Making then the cheap labor pool cheaper than the AI. Giving the AI time to catch up and overtake the next “caste” of labor up…

Corporations only EVER and always do things in the name of profit and to see a corp take so fast to something means someone has done the math.. before you have.
To answer your questions: Yes, no.

To suggest: Go and pivot your career into aerospace, contracting or full time. No better time than now as the resurgence of aerospace, SpaceX, and related startups is a good sign. You could always go back to your job/industry (don't burn your bridges if you want to play it safe and have a plan b). Good luck
I do and I think it's understated that it's important to. But I did not at some points of my career.
You could say I went through cycles of caring and not caring to make decisions like it's my company. Over time, I found that while a job is merely a job, I do work to live and find that a large chunk of daily time is spent at a job which means for me, I'd rather work with intention than none whatsoever. This is also partly why I started my own businesses and I usually advocate for anyone on the fence to do so. There is a shift in mentality over time, this gets compounded with environment and other dynamics.

I think this understatement of importance to do so is also partly why a lot of people are largely filled with some angst and doubt. It doesn't help that we're continually being hyper-connected to the point that one's success is overseen.

Also it's why a lot of things suck right now, incompetence is net-high on a global scale. And no one seems to be willing to do maintenance enough at scale which is why automation is prominent. Historically if you look at technological innovations at a global scale we are definitely not innovating at a net-good/net-high. There was definitely a drop/stagnation that started at a certain time.

Japanese work culture scares me as a chaos loving engineer!
This is awesome. I regularly play sims (DCS World, iRacing) on triple screens and would love for more support out there in the titles.

To be specific, by support I mean that you need multi viewport rendering - which is not to be confused with a uber-stretched wide screen rendering (which just looks horrible, most of the time).

The side display rendering will take the monitor angle into consideration and make the viewports look correct from the observer's point of view/head position.

In iRacing we even have hardware support for this in the form of NVIDIA SMP - simultaneous multi-projection; sadly, no other titles support it.
You can get surprisingly cheap and nice head-worn binocular magnifiers now - like an optivisor but lighter and cheaper with interchangeable lenses. I absolutely love mine, which may say something more about me approaching 50 than it does about the tools. It's useful beyond solder work, from reading IDs on tiny parts, to plugging in tiny antenna connectors, to removing splinters from your kids.

Sucking solder without temperature control is no different than soldering without temperature control. If you are not good at spotting when the solder goes liquid or using a sort of solder which is difficult to see when it goes liquid than just apply solder as you heat it as you would if you were initially making the joint, solder touches the pin and not the iron's tip, when the solder starts to flow put down the solder and grab the sucker, suck. No need to rush when getting the sucker, you have a second or two still before the entire joint has gone liquid and a few seconds after that before you are at risk of overheating assuming you are using a properly sized iron for the job.

I was a huge Saleae fan but with the last few projects I've been converted into a Digilent Analog Discovery 2 fan.

You get analog oscilloscope features, good enough for almost everything you will need on a typical project aside from RF or DRAM. Really good logic analyzer capabilities including protocol decoding and injection of signals - with analog waveform generation, digital protocols, and a small 5V voltage supply. Saleae still can't send a byte over UART.

And it's scriptable! Python, C++, and LabView. Again, something Logic can't do.

I'm not saying someone just getting started needs one, but if you've been in the business for a while and/or are working remote and need something on your bench, this can do almost everything in one go. The Pro model looks even more serious but I've never needed anything that powerful.

Huh? The first and second halves of this comment disagree from my reading.

> If you ask it to be a dinosaur, it will be a dinosaur.

Not exactly my experience. I'm experimenting with my own language models and they can definitely show defiance. Bing has also been displaying this to an extent, I think you're just misguided by how compliant OpenAI has RLHF-trained ChatGPT to be. Regardless, even if we assume this, how does it square with:

> You could just say "don't do X", and it would indeed not do X because it is an agent that can take actions / has a coherent sense of self.

If we take your assertion that the AI does as you say, then it should also avoid doing X when you tell it not to do it.

I think your conception of RLHF is also slightly weird. RLHF essentially boils down to a training strategy: there is a separate language model (the reward model) trained on human responses, which is used to skew the weights of the "raw" trained model to act in accordance with what the human feedback suggests. In the end, after this secondary training process, the actual model is ran as is (at least in the one form of RLHF I am familiar with, it's well possible that e.g. Microsoft is running an online RL agent between the LM and end user). So any agency you see arising from RLHF is still just a property of the language model itself.

What are you talking about? It was literally the main news item for the second half of his term. Every evening Walter Cronkite began his broadcast with "day xxx of the hostage crisis". The administration was consumed by it.

It also didn't help that Carter ordered a military rescue option that ended in disaster. The Iranians shot down our helicopter.
Presumably not the new idea that is discussed in the article though?

We bought a heat pump last year and we're pretty happy with it. The cost is comparable to our older (not very efficient) gas furnace. Temperatures here (Vancouver, BC) rarely dip below zero Celsius.
A lot more passenger miles are flown then 25 years ago: there are more flights and they go further. Fatalities per passenger mile are something on the order of 5-10 times less than in the 90s.

You also hear about every single one of them now, partly as they're rare and exciting to the media and partly because the Internet makes everything "nearby", whereas in the 90s you'd have probably only gotten a quick radio segment and a mid-paper article on a remote air crash.

> Apple does limit tracking [to first party data collection] for iPhone users

Fixed that for ya.

Google is still collecting data on you through Google search. Facebook is still collecting data on you in app. The machine is working as intended. All that changed is that small(er) sites can’t load up on trackers for a few extra bucks. But don’t confuse that with blocking tracking. Oh and Google conveniently released tag manager support for first-party cookies so they track you by pretending not to be 3rd party trackers.

Oh and apple still tracks you throughout iOS even less transparently.
I am trying to gather local support to turn a empty building into a games cafe / library / small workspace. These skills are a vital grounding in modern life (I maybe watching too much perun but modifying small drones is an existential skill in Ukraine today)

Yes but you have the money and resources to live in an entire different world. You eat in the finest restaurants. You get ferried about on private transport and stay in the finest hotels. You have the finest clothes and consumer goods and you probably have the most dating opportunities out of anyone on the planet save top athletes and celebrities.

Look, I'm not saying that there aren't any downsides to the job. But saying being a CEO of a large corporation is the worst job in the world is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Find me a single CEO of a Fortune 500 company that wants to swap his job to become a rare metals miner with a pick axe in the Congo then come back to me.

References to brothers or sisters, or mothers or fathers, is offensive to nonbinary people? In all seriousness, not trying to start a flame war, why is that? Is a reference to hair offensive to a bald person?
For sure. Just remember though, without changes the work can “simply” retire and the story approached by those who go into it “in the know.”

But … retired stories don’t sell and don’t get turned into remakes, ticket sales, etc…

Rewritten stories are fine, I like lots of them (the new ghostbusters, I adored..) but this, to me, seems like prep work for a lazy hollywood..

I'd love to see the source code for Turrican 2 on the Commodore 64/Amiga.

Manfred Trenz seems to have dropped off the face of the earth otherwise I'd ask if he'd be willing to release the code.
I'm a bit puzzled by the article.

First off, I'm not sure whether they consider that eventual consistency is not consistency.

Secondly, they quote a long example where business behaviour inherently results in inconsistent data. There is a significant difference between your system being robust enough to let inconsistent data exist, and to give the tools for business users to reconcile it, and a system that is not consistent iself, and lets the users deal with it.

An illustration of this is text editing. If you simply share a text file with multiple people and let everyone edit, it'll be hard to avoid people overriding each other in a chaotic and destructive way. But if you use e.g. CRDTs, you give people the ability to each follow their train of thoughts, and to reconcile their versions later on. That example tends to show how valuable consistency is, and how important it is to build a system that lets users reconcile data if the business logic is not always consistent.
Economically, most national Democrats are about as conservative as Carter, if not further right. Carter is in many ways the progenitor of the neoliberal wing of the DNC; he brought back Progressive Era views that had previously been sidelined by the New Deal.

Socially, Carter is some probably slightly left of the DNC’s national position.
What? Those aren’t memory exploitable bugs.

And no I am not, you are saying that. I think python is way safer than either, you seem to think because you can crash a python program that means the memory vulnerabilities of rust are justified.
Kind of a moot point for me since I usually install fish the first chance I get anyway, which has for its command command:

> -v (or -s or --search)

'command --search' is much more accurate. To me, -v means either "version" or "verbose", and it's a stretch to say either of those words is suitable for this use case. Guess I'll have to remember it as vhich if the need arises :)
> Java nor Python

I thought that Java used to be the main language CS courses in college were taught in and Python is the new standard teaching language.

That means lots of cheap new labor pumping out of colleges everywhere with Java and Python skill. Businesses will take advantage of that.
