> Without the starting t, you might end up with something that could be spelled sheck in English.

That might be true.

The truer thing though is, English speakers at least (unless they're a linguist or read IPA in the morning), go ahead and pronounce (or try to) the t and run into trouble every time because t-ch-kalof is a challenge they're not up to (Russians won't have a problem with it, even when drunk).
Thanks for the kind reply!

That title edit was obviously not a splash-free dive so you guys clearly have a point.
A new study published in the journal Nature sheds light on the evolution of complex life from newly discovered "Asgard Cells"! Go science... love the science of evolution, so fascinating!

So it seems like these Asgard Cells are complex cells that evolved on Earth over 1.8 billion years ago. These cells have features similar to both bacteria and eukaryotes, which are the two main types of cellular life on Earth. The discovery provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells, which are believed to have originated from a symbiotic relationship between two different types of bacteria. As we go further and further back in time, chemical and biology evolution merges :)
Not much, except the fact that they'd have to run their own DoH servers, which they can certainly do. Right now the common public ones are known and can be blocked.

We can block DoH endpoints now, but we 1) can't easily block arbitrary, say, AWS https endpoints that might be DoH servers, and 2) can't block endpoints if they're used for significant amounts of non-DoH traffic as well. I think Cloudflare may decide to make DoH unblockable by merging their DoH endpoints with their https endpoints.

I genuinely think that Cloudflare is nefarious, else they wouldn't be trying so hard to get people accustomed to accepting less privacy as though it were a good thing.

How do you know Emacs is inferior? How much time have you spent using it?

How are you sure VSCode and IntelliJ will be around in 10 years? 20 years? Why invest in learning a new tool every couple of years? How do I know MS doesn't suddenly kill VSC?

Also, why would I want to use an editor which calls home every few minutes? How can I be sure VSCode does not send my password files etc. to MS or OpenAI or whatever?

Also, Emacs extensibility and flexibility is unparalleled. I can mold it to fit _my_ workflow instead of molding myself to fit the workflow of some guys at MicroSoft.

Also, Emacs is self-documenting and has ridiculous introspection capabilities. My favorite example: do VSCode/IntelliJ have a counterpart of `view-lossage` (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mi...)?

Also, the fact that Emacs is so keyboard-oriented (as others have mentioned) is not really about _objective speed_, but _subjective feeling of friction_ (and lack thereof).

Also, working with Emacs is so much fun. It's a piece of software so helpful that it almost feels like an A.I. assistant. ;-)

So, plenty of reasons for me.

I’ve been working on a project exactly for this: https://dreamlab.gg/.

Currently it only allows for animating a character generated from a prompt. However, we’re working to use null text inversion [0] combined with inverse DDIM (used for pix2pix) to allow animating a pre-drawn character.

Well there's evidence that goes against your conclusion. Turritopsis dohrnii is a living example of a species which can reverse its age (and as far as we know, can do so indefinitely). It is quite a successful species.
I completely agree. The amount of FUD Mozilla spread about Web MIDI was truly distasteful. People say that Google is the enemy, and perhaps they are. But at least Google does not write off entire groups of users (like musicians) because of a swivel-eyed security paranoia.

If I wanted a paternalistic entity telling me what I can and can’t do with my device, I’d use an iPad.
While I think your viewpoint is interesting, the language prevented me from appreciating it fully. Would you mind expanding on your opinion on privacy and Mozilla/Apple’s role in the standards process a little more?

> It is ultimately funding education for smart people who are well-positioned to use that education productively, and for research and arts that are meant to benefit humanity. It's not just throwing it away.

You have to account for it as the marginal dollar, not the average dollar. If Harvard had less money, and they're competent, they would cut the least effective programs. But because their budget is so large, they've already fully funded everything in their wheelhouse with high utility and the least effective programs would be mostly waste and vanity. (And if they're not competent then you obviously don't want to be giving them more money either.)
Because Safari and its WebView process are still the only processes allowed to run JIT compilers.

Other Browsers on iOS are just unaccelerated Safari Webviews.

In order to have a real Browser on iOS, with a real Web Extension API (manifest v2/v3) users would need to jailbreak their devices.

This has been going on for decades, and Apple pretty much gives zero effs about it.
Thank you very much for sharing this. Without going much into details, you are not alone with this - there are people that have the same abilities.

As someone who regularly receives comments like "I wish I thought more like you": literally don't even entertain thoughts that make you feel crappy. Don't give those anxious, negative trains of thought the time of day. Recognize "this is not actually conducive to experiencing a quality existence" and discard that crap. Dunno, that's putting it simply, but gives an idea of the kind of discipline it may take to "resist the temptation" to basically troll your own consciousness. Spiraling negative thoughts are quite self-reinforcing and require conscious effort to combat, in my experience. You could literally redirect to something more uplifting, pretend you're trying to pep-talk a friend, except it's in your own head. Instead of dwelling on "man I said the most awkward thing earlier, what an idiot, that was so bad", you remind yourself "that's irrelevant, people say awkward things every single day, it was probably forgotten within the hour, and in fact the person seemed to really enjoy the rest of the conversation".
I just came here to share this, because it moved me deeply when I first saw it, and it somehow fits here.

My dad got a pet monkey in New York in the 1950s when he was a kid. Moishe the monkey. According to Dad, he used to walk the monkey around the park in the Bronx and introduce him to girls.

I’ve been flirting with being a human liaison for autonomous organizations for a decade

ten years ago once we got the fabs going for bitcoin miners we noticed that machines could make other machines, acquire a fungible digital resource and transact with other agents, human and machine alike. the window of opportunity turned out to always be too small in the mining world, but that theoretical piece of the puzzle was suddenly solved.

AI that starts making money on its own accounts is going to come next. Someone could do this with Llama hooked up to a node. Maybe start by moderating discord servers for a few hundred dollars of crypto per month, just like children do.
From first principles, it seems reasonable to expect transformations to go in a linear order. From there you look for ways to minimize special cases (eg why is `where` different from `having`?). Then you can just layer on some quality of life things which would appear to a designer after five minutes of real-world use (dear god, please let me have trailing commas).

I would expect there to be a lot of convergent evolution as how to go from a pile of data to narrowing on what you want.

So now almost all the low hanging fruit programming books have instantly become redundant and off-shored to ChatGPT, and will stay on the shelves to collect dust.

It defeats the point, management of personal data is sole responsibility of companies. Why should browsers take responsibility for that?
That is not what he said.

He said he's "using noscript like it's still the 90's", as in he's using NoScript as if he was still in the 1990s. Problem with that is NoScript did not exist in the 1990s.

As an aside, NoScript did not exist, "browser extensions" in general did not exist (not counting toolbars...), and ads, Shockwave Flash, and some JavaScript were already very much a thing in the 1990s.
Also, macOS seems to have copied many of them, so they're worth learning for that too IMO.

The problem with your cost analysis is that you probably aren't properly accounting for the all the environmental costs incurred in the 5c example of making a can from newly-mined aluminum. The costs of mining and other resource extraction are usually externalized (i.e., just dig a big hole in the ground, don't worry about environmental fallout, and let future generations deal with the problems caused). Recycling doesn't get this advantage usually.
No, some Russian Telegram channels edited/faked some of the documents when the leaks posted on Discord were shared on 4chan and went viral on Telegram.

Just a theory: The brain probably subconsciously predicts death when it is basically a sensor for your entire body, when it does predict it, it triggers something basic in nature, looking forward to something that will happen and non materialistic and basic in nature.
Deep methods are a vast improvement over classical computer vision techniques. Classical techniques can be thought of as a function of the raw pixel data. Deep learning techniques understands the context and are more likely to get segment how a human might segment.

The Terror has ended by October 1938, when Gagarin was 4 years old. I wouldn’t call that “living through”.

I’m not saying there weren’t political prisoners or executions later. There were, but the scale is incomparable. We can safely say Gagarin met a lot of people who had won the war growing up, but he had not seen someone familiar taken to prison for no reason every other day, and I would assume had not heard much about it.
Why use this when we can go straight with true open source projects for that at way more generous and give you basically everything for free without restrictions. Where all they are selling is some official hosting.

I've commonly seen companies create secure by default programs around there deploying there Infrastructure (terraform/cloudformation templating). Maybe some companies do this with packages and vulnerability management. While its commendable to try this, until an organization is pretty large very little effort will be put into making secure by default design.
When someone ask for my profession and I reply I'm a software developer, the followup question is often whether I'm frontend or backend. But none apply to me.

Btw, to me, a full stack developer would be someone who work on the application and the OS (kernel and WM) and the compiler and even the hardware :-)
(Native Russian speaker here) I don’t really agree. The “t” and “ch” require very different tongue and jaw positions and combining them is awkward and would require a vowel in between when used in a real word.

English speakers are perfectly capable of pronouncing ch vs sh (e.g. chair vs share) whereas sh vs sh’ (ш/щ) might be more challenging.
SQL only hangs around because it was the best thing available at the time when DBs first exploded into common use. It’s pretty declarative, which is a point in its favor, but it’s not very amenable to query construction since it has AppleScript levels of “being like English.” Have fun writing something that can generate it while handling highly-adaptive and/or customizable requirements.

I’m not going to call Datalog the definitive answer, but it’s a step in the right direction.
This is just a guess, but perhaps this is just someone who's written a script to easily set up a crossdev toolchain.

I started playing around with Midjourney because my niece wanted some coloring pages in certain themes (kittens, castles, mermaids, etc.)

She loved them, so I thought I'd create a basic site and share them with the world for free. For those of you that have kids (likely daughters), I hope you enjoy them! Let me know if there are any other categories you'd like to see.

I'm working on bumping up the resolution and I may pay a designer to touch these up or vectorize them if there's enough interest.

While bedridden, I hallucinated wordless conversations with the Grim Reaper. One day, in the landscape of my mind, he rode up to me on a black steed, leaned down and peered into my face, then swirled around and rode off. I ran after him screaming "Don't leave me here! Take me with you!"

That was the last time the Grim Reaper came to see me. With his departure, I knew I would live.

Thank you for posting this. I think dreams are meaningful and give clues to our state of health. It's hard to find good material on the topic.

My read of GP's reply is: they use residential proxies to get around geo-blocking, and separately have special purpose ASs to avoid captchas. They're separate solutions serving separate needs; connecting to Netflix gets you the residential IP, regular browsing would get you the other one.

The variety of states/nations/areas just keeps me hoping we see a return to a JP Barlow Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.

Fuck this. Don't obey. Having 9000 various powers that be that give themselves the sovereign right to tell each & every company/site what they have to do is untenable & disobedience is the only clear course.

This is the internet. It's a network of humanity. If your users in your location are connecting to me over here, it's not on me to respect each & every stupid law you make. If you want that power, the only enforcement you actually have over that is disconnecting your users from my site: you need to get yourself & your population off the internet. That's the actual domain of power you have control over & that's your only real respectable bargaining chip, the rest is not respectable horseshit of low nature.

There's no path where this stays at all even possible to do. Right now most nations/areas tend to copy paste policy & there's little real inspired initiative & that has made this tragic frelling emperors have no clothes farce maintainable & plausible.

But this situation will only going to descend ever deeper into madness. There are no practical checks on lawmaking, & every single spot on earth thinks they have the right to define how the internet has to work.

Right now everyone is sort of trying to obey & play nice, but I beg for the breakdown. Utah is a fine example of Go Fuck Yourselves You Ninnies. Germany claiming Twitter may face more fines than the company was worth at sale price is another Go Fuck Yourself Come Get Us point. There's just ever diminishing ability to believe in the legitimacy of law when it keeps happening, keeps building up, when constraints restrictions and rules are the only unchecked thing on the planet.
What’s happening here is that /tɕ/ is a single sound — I’d transcribe it /t͡ɕ/, with a little tiebar to make that clear. This sound is an ‘affricate’, meaning that it’s pronounced by starting with a /t/ and releasing it with the tongue so that it finishes with a /ɕ/ sound. /ɕ/ alone would be the sound written in Russian as ⟨щ⟩, which is of course different. Incidentally English ⟨ch⟩ is also affricated, although it’s pronounced slightly differently, as /t͡ʃ/ rather than /t͡ɕ/.
> I think you are trying to pigeonhole Eskenazi's argument into the standard "progressives don't care about crime" punditry that's popular on the right. I would suggest re-reading the column with a more open mind. His argument is that feeling safe is as important, if not more important from a policymaking perspective, as empirical measures of safety ("real risk") such as violent crime rate.

From the article:

> But the city’s violent crime rate is at a near-historic low, and is lower than most mid-to-large-sized cities.

> Lee’s death, however, was packaged in the media and on social media into a highlight reel of recent San Francisco misfortunes and crimes: large groups of young people brawling at Stonestown; the abrupt closure of the mid-market Whole Foods, leaving San Franciscans just eight other Whole Foods within city limits; the severe beating of former fire commissioner Don Carmignani in the Marina District, allegedly by belligerent homeless people — it all adds up to a feeling of a city coming undone.

> This manner of coverage, however, does not capture the actual lived experience of the vast majority of San Franciscans.

I'm reading his article again.. where is his argument that feeling safe is important?

He states that violent crime is low, and that newspapers shouldn't be cherry-picking and sensationalizing how bad it is, and that he knows this is not the actual experience for the vast majority of San Franciscans.
The real problem is that "shareholders" stopped being people and started being large funds.

When the shareholders are people with a long-term stake in the company, like the founders, they can make long-term decisions or choose not to want the absolute most profit-maximizing thing because actually they're already pretty rich and maybe some things are more important.

When they're fund managers, they want quarterly profits because that's how they get their bonus, and their fund may not even own shares in that company in a year's time.
