A regular ad blocker already goes a long way by removing the chumboxes.

Taboola chumboxes being allowed to bypass Adblock Plus via Acceptable Ads was my main reason for giving up on the Acceptable Ads concept.
I have seen a touch screen covered by a thin layer of plastic in the button row that has some indentation so the finger can feel where the buttons are. This was on the control panel of an industrial machine. With some small sound or haptic feedback when the button is being pressed, this allows someone familiar with the interface to quickly press some buttons while operating the machine.

(There was also an indentation for a slider on the side)
Adblock is easy because ads are usually hosted on a different site to main content. Clickbait, however, is not.
As usual, "just" pulls a lot of weight - if they're putting the straight LLM output, it probably won't be great regardless.

If they put effort into making the ouput good, then chances are the content will be good regardless of whether they wrote it by hand, or wrote it using an LLM.

Like, I don't need to know whether you used a bic ballpoint pen, or some other ballpoint pen to write your note on paper; the tool is a tool
virtual threads are still in preview. At which stage/release will they be in regular usage? (not preview)
Is anyone planning to use virtual threads, at this stage?

i understand that virtual threads are very similar to goroutines in golang
MacLuhan and others have already talked about this, from way back in the radio and TV generation.

I don't say this to mean, "oh, and they were wrong because everything turned out OK" If anything, we have had generations that grew up with this dysfunction in a normalized way, and it took another advanced in tech to really see it again.

(To take it further back into history, I think I now get what Cervantes was trying to say with the image of Don Quxiote tilting at windmills. It seemed so absurd, amusing, and quaint when I read it as a teen).
You do have to remember to use it, but the thing to keep in mind is that you can pipe a list of ANYTHING into it. Any list of text items you can search through with a text query is fair game.

git log --oneline | fzf

for example is one of my favorite tricks. Instead of scanning by eye or repeatedly grepping to find something, it's a live fuzzy filter. And depending on how deep you want to go you can then add key bindings to check out the selected commit, or preview the full message, or anything really.
Sadly, OmniSharp (the LSP for vscode and nvim) isn't all that great. The performance is incredibly bad, easily orders of magnitude worse than VS and Rider.

There is this alternative LSP, which I plan to try out still: https://github.com/razzmatazz/csharp-language-server

At the moment I'm stuck with Rider, which is terrible (there is an official vim mode plugin), but I still have to port my bindings over to their vim config. Telescope etc. isn't available, which is a sad day.

Not an issue. It doesn't need a lot of maintenance. It's "done". Source is available too. Just needs minimal effort to keep the lights on. As long as someone is interested in running it, as many will be, it will happen.
The alternative is to shut off access to anything that could cause harm: production systems, version control, maybe Drive. But leave them access to tools like email, Meet and chat for a reasonable period. Let people actually say goodbye, hand their work off properly if they choose to. Make sure nothing personal is tied to their corporate account, and migrate anything that is in an orderly manner. Give them a bit of notice before bricking their corp phones and laptops.

They definitely have the capability to do access control at that granularity, as well as ample time as they had clearly been preparing for months. They just chose not to

> The Byzantine Generals Problem is a more difficult problem than the Two Generals Problem because it requires a consensus algorithm that can tolerate the presence of faulty actors. There are many solutions to the Byzantine Generals Problem, including Byzantine Fault Tolerance, which is a common technique used in distributed systems to ensure that the system can continue to operate correctly even in the presence of faulty actors.

One can't jump over a chasm, you have to literately bridge from the known to the unknown.

Guess what, most if not all cars today have what's called an ECM which is essentially a computer that controls your engine among other things. It's certainly a very easy task to flash that ECM as long as your inside that car and can plug in common off the shelf devices and have your car very quickly be unable to start.

Unless you're buying a car that's a decade old you cannot find what you want.
I recently made some dietary changes to deal with IBS. I had no idea I was in persistent bowel discomfort until it just disappeared. I'm used to IBS flair-ups but when it settled I didn't realise I still felt malaise. When it was gone, I felt healthy and well. Weirdly, I felt more emotionally stable than I have in years.

Then I came across a study[1] that indicated that several genes associated with IBS also correlated with mood and anxiety disorders.

The meaning of

find . '/'

Was not immediately apparent to me. It will first search the current directory, then search from the root directory of the filesystem. This is useful (beyond just `find` which is implicitly `find .`) because it will turn up local results quickly and global results eventually.
It's not person A's job to tell you about rule X or that department T revised form W, or that you don't even have to do any of that at all because there's an alternative process for doing it.

It's your job to do the research and do things out correctly so that person A doesn't have to waste time telling you what you should be doing.

Or do you think that government agencies have the budget to hire customer support representative and receptionists with intimate knowledge of their department's rules and regulations?

Explored the idea of starting a tech coop myself. Haven't really went into too much theory because it felt off. Already established tech coops are closed, have a steady income, started as a group of close friends and they most probably just profit from calling themselves a coop. In reality, you will fail hard and fast trying to find the right people who will accept working on their time to share income with some hippy dude sketching out some figma designs when he happens to be awake. I'd better start a company and learn how to add a profit margin to other people's work
And you good sir are the few types of people who keep my sanity in check. thanks for calling out the tyrants :) - they are terrible and just like the kings of old want constant praise and their rings kissed for the blessing of imposing serfdom to all but their chosen nobility
I think clearly Hyundai have taken an approach that improves dramatically on the 'buttons hidden behind touchscreens' menus' which has started to plague cars with touch screens.

The result is a dashboard that has decent form and decent function as opposed to great form terrible function. They aren't going for impeccable function here.

When a company tries to do the right thing and publicly calls out flaws in design iterations that we have disliked, lets not shoot them down for not getting it perfect.

To say its "form is everything where function is ignored" is just an overreaction.

I've tried using inkscape on my mac a few years ago. It was a terrible experience.

Inkscape was internally rendering at half of my display's resolution, and then it was upscaled. It looked absolutely awful. And none of the keyboard shortcuts matched the platform defaults. Cmd+S for save? Nope. Cmd+Z for cut? Nope. Cmd+A for select all? Nothing worked the way I expected.

It felt like I was running a program from the 90s in an emulator.
What do any of those have to do with the government entities involved in infrastructure projects?
One way: Everyone has a code-word which they only share with humans, over "private" channels like direct voice calls. For example, I'm "pineapple", and you're "orange", when we're connected on a call, we share our code-words in order to "authenticate" the call.

Another way: have a passphrase with a group of people that you share with each other, that is hard to guess but memorable. "The sky was green this morning" for example, that everyone in your family knows is the "human passphrase".

Another way: ask personal questions only the actual human being would know, like inside jokes or specific details about their life.

Another way: verify through some out-of-band method (like text message) in order to confirm their identity.

Another way: start everything with a video call where they have to pass their hand in front of their face before switching to audio only

None of the methods are perfect, all come with pro and cons.

But writing all of this made me feel really dystopian for some reason...
Both of your examples seem to be pretty productive people, no?

> Who via digital signature

the voice data signature can be removed, unless you mean something like an audio watermark

> What via hash

audio remuxing will destroy the hash, especially since it's already done by pretty much every social media company. Even with some sort of lossy audio hash, just put some clapping or cheering behind the voice and you've probably created a new audio hash.

> When via timestamp

file timestamps can change

This solves nothing unless your user either doesn't care about sharing the original file, or is malicious but too dumb to ffmpeg -i original.ogg out.mp3.
In that case: indeed.

As someone involved in both, most people don't work in commercial audio production or photography. And even for audio and photography, Windows has similar or even the exact same applications available, with perfectly fine performance.

Ableton, Kontakt, Lightroom, Premiere and Resolve all work fine on "not macos"

As for color accuracy, I have a plenty expensive monitor (bought on black friday, of course, never pay full price for expensive hardware) and a Spyder calibrator because factory calibration is a nicety that stops being true a month into using the thing. Although of course the mac mini doesn't even have a display, so it can't even get points there =D
> The merit of OER is that is a measure of the cost of using owned housing as housing instead of renting it out.

I don't follow - can you help me understand? To me there are two metrics that matter: the price of property, and the price to rent property.

Hypothetical: If 50% of the houses in the US were bought by older folks in the 1970 - 1990 (when housing prices were more propositional to income) and they generally don't plan to sell until 2030 - what does it matter what they would rent at today?

I just don't understand the logic here, and to the fact that they are included in the CPI at all means that the CPI is necessarily skewed when it comes to housing imho
Agreed, though a saab 9000 is a far cry from the old X frame bel air. There's a serious amount of crash protection. The concept of crumple zones is alive and well in the car, we've just been refining it

"NORCROSS, Ga., Oct. 4 -- The real-world success of Saab's
safety engineering heritage is once again underscored by the latest
reports from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the
Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). According to the IIHS rating
system, the Saab 9000 had the lowest driver fatality rate among 153
1990-1994 passenger cars, wagons, trucks and sport utility
vehicles. As listed in the Insurance Institute's September, 1996
report, the Saab 9000 scored the lowest driver fatality average --
better than such safety stalwarts as Volvo. Saab's average score of 25
was well below scores posted by every competitor, including the Volvo
940/960 (45) and the BMW 5-series (52). (A score of 100 indicates 2
fatalities per 10,000 registered vehicle years.) Data on the
current-generation Saab 900, which debuted for the 1994 model year,
was not yet available.

I don't know. Part of why we anthropomorphize so much is because we can still feel the physical elements. We pet a dog, we live inside our homes, list goes on. When that is not possible, how does this change people and their valuation of online communication? Would you still love "Anne" when she's now rejected your 50th attempt to meet in person? Would you still reply to comments like mine if the default assumption wasn't "that's another human being I can persuade" and instead "that is a bot"?

I'm sure in the long term that differentiation alone would change, you know androids and all that jazz - however in the meantime, we're going to be facing a tremendous shift in how we interact online.

I think we can all agree that you can put the 10 top schools in a hat, regardless if a particular school is #3 or #5. Harvard will be in the top 5 of any list. If rankings lists did not exist we would still have some understanding of what the top 20 or so schools are. The acceptance rate is usually a good proxy.
Sure, if you have the camera correctly setup and can remember all of cryptic settings, which using it infrequently I never could. I got once where i knew how to setup the my canon rebel after taking a class. But I just set it to automatic 99% of the time I used it. Any time it was manual it would 20% chance mess up and I'd miss the shot. I took mostly action stuff.

The setup on a phoen is so much simpler and easier esp where it makes suggestions. Phone is bad menus, no touch, dial wheel, ok buttons.
A better software analogy would be "how long will it take to deploy the next Kubernetes cluster?" which can be fairly accurately predicted if you know the number of nodes etc. and how long it took to deploy previous clusters.

the core F# language is great, however, what tends to suffer is the F# specific libraries (you can use all .NET libs, but I'm talking about the F# specific ones) and community. There are some things that are getting developed, but my experience is that things get abandoned, progress is slow, or things are somewhat clunky. But if you are writing your F# without any need for F# specific libs then it is great and you can interface it with C# code easily.

If the goal is just to have the model break down each task into sub tasks until they are small enough to perform, why not implement the recursion in the code that calls the models where it's a solved problem?

My assumption was that it would first detect when it was written using stylometry, and the change in style over time, and could use that, in addition to other location tracking data in XKEYSCORE to figure out where the target was at that time. That might be giving them a bit too much credit. They could just be using some other simple heuristics to guess at location data. Hard to tell.

XKEYSCORE is/was basically the NSA's Google, and in theory contains nearly all of the data ever collected from the various collection points all over the internet.

I was in the same boat until my car was stolen. If you haven't heard of it, look up the Kia Boys, though the same rules apply to Hyundais.

If you do manage to get the car back, you find yourself much more interested in car anti-theft measures, and will then discover that there are very limited options for parts due to the epidemic of them being stolen (66% of cars stolen in 2021 in Milwaukee, the center of the epidemic were Kia/Hyundai). And there is no indication that the company will be of any help going forward. The only real option is to not buy pre-2021 Hyundais/Kias.
I have been in the room, so to speak, when the design of a fusion reactor control room was being discussed. I feel the answer is simply: because engineers "design" these things.

I feel like the design of spaces is simply not considered very well if at all. I get the feeling that maybe aircraft do it best? Or at least that's the impression that I have had.

The intro irks me, though:

> Software engineers are, if not unique, then darn near unique in the ease with which we can create tools to improve our own professional lives; this however can come at a steep cost over time for people who constantly flit back and forth between different tools without investing the time to learn their own kit in depth. As someone with a healthy respect for the tacit knowledge of people better than me, I think a great 80/20 heuristic is “Learn the oldies first”: venerable Unix tools like cat, ls, cd, grep, and cut. (sed and awk, too, if you have the good fortune of landing yourself in an actual modern sysadmin role.)

This seems to be either naive or hubristic in light of the thousands of years of history of craftspeople building their own workspaces. Even a hobbyist woodworker will build plenty of jigs and fixtures for their work. Machinists as well.
