That's a shame - this looks quite cool. I wonder about the security implications though, regarding lagging browser engine updates - it seems to be Electron based.

Something like this with regular updates and a heavy security focus (perhaps being able to whitelist URLs, disable certain unneeded web features etc.) would be interesting.

The size of the launch site at KSC is soooo much larger than the one at Boca Chica[1]. Basically almost none of the large debris that was ejected by starship into the surrounding wilderness would have left the bounds of the launch pad area at KSC. The Boca Chica launch site just seems under-provisioned for this size of rocket.

> git remains dominant despite it being complex because it’s not in the interest of GitHub and most of GitHub’s competitors to support anything else.

It seems like if there was a competitive advantage to be found in another VCS it would be a large opportunity for a competitor to support and promote that alternative. Git certainly has many downsides but I am not sure a different system is an overall better proposition than git at this point. If it was, I would think we would see more investment there.

An interview with a DAO money grabber, how they are draining treasuries
Not sure if this is what the other poster was going for but increases in spending in one area often comes at the expense of another area. That can come in the form of the illegal drug industry losing revenue to the legal drug industry and the government getting a share, but it also can come in the form of other spending that would have taken place now not taking place as users of legalized drugs are spending their money on those products instead of spending on going out to eat as often, buying fewer video games, purchasing less alcohol, going on fewer trips, etc. Tax revenue from that spending that has been displaced into the legal drug industry should be subtracted out of the $15 billion if the point here is that legalization increased government revenue. Of course, that's going to be very difficult to calculate since those displacement activities are on the individual level.

Well, the US Supreme Court considers pornography to be speech[1].

> The way Google released "experimental" features behind prefixes instead of configuration

This was not a "Google" thing - vendor prefixes were a common practice in the industry. Webkit was using -webkit- prefix before Google was using it.

Many years ago the harm of this was recognised and browsers did move these to configuration/feature flags instead.

We don't apply this principle to something like peanut allergies. "If your kid touches a peanut, that's on you as a parent"? No, people recognized that peanuts are harmful enough to a certain segment of the population that it's worth making changes, even changes that might inconvenience others.

Besides, I'm not sure why you think that parents are able to be 100% in control of things that their children see/eat/etc. Should we legalize nudity on billboards, and would your suggestion then be to "simply drive on different roads"?
Windows 10 was released in 2015, so they will have offered 10 years of support, which was the standard policy in place ever since Windows Vista (Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10).

Apple does not support any macOS version for that long, and is unlikely to support a current version of macOS on any given device for that long.
> The problem with transfinite is that you lose commutatively.

Depends on which transfinite algebra you're working with. If you restrict "number" to mean "element of an ordered field" (thus excluding things like the "complex numbers" but matching the usual intuition of how numbers should behave) then you can't include Cantor's ordinals but you can include the Surreal Numbers. Those include infinite ordinals and (due to being a field) have commutative addition and multiplication operations.
If a website is only a collection of web pages then you cannot have Amazon, hotels.com or any other site where the user pays money and receives something physical as a purchase.

So the document metaphor is too simple as it only describes what happends at the html/css level but not how the user interacts with the site and the purchases that result from this interaction.
> "shouldn't we research the effects of internet pornography in kids before allowing them unlimited access to it?"

Is that a rhethorical question? People of all ages capable of using it already have mostly unlimited access to the internet (and thus to porn). Sans parents understanding the internet more these days, and trying to set limits and failing.

Question should be whether somebody should do research before trying to limit access state/country wide in various ways. Ie. bigotry vs some informed decision making.
If the function is comptime-known then you'll get a direct call, and you can mark it near the call site as being required to be comptime-known (e.g., by marking a function argument to another function with the "comptime" tag). To make it super explicit you can make a no-op function like `fn cknown(comptime f: anytype) @TypeOf(f) {return f;}` and then replace stuff like `foo(bar)` with `cknown(foo)(bar)`.

It's a tiny bit harder to force an indirect call if that's desired for some reason; I think you'd need to write a slightly longer never inlined helper function to strip the constness from the pointer. It's doable though, just not directly provided by the language.

Turn it into a proof?
I need to revisit Cantor's proof, the argument I was taught left out key aspects of numbers, particularly how "number" and "string of digits you've printed out so far" aren't the same thing. It's really about creating a space-filling curve.

Agreed - it seems that calling out LLM accuracy is a meme here - hyperbolically: “because LLMs can be inaccurate they are useless”.

There seems to be less next-level analysis: which topics are more prone to inaccuracy, does the critique loop actually help LLMs overcome those inaccuracies, and do the benefits of LLMs outweigh the consequences of these inaccuracies?
Offtopic, but I started using Edge because of Bing integration, which turned out to be terrible (just give me exact gpt4-based copilot, not the watered-down version), but stayed for the side-tabs: sticky permanent tabs that allow to quickly reach you popularly use.

Here's the aspect of this article that I found the most fascinating, and might explain why I don't get the same level of benefit from ChatGPT as many report.

If I were learning how LEDs work, I would not have wasted any time whatsoever on the search results that the author spent a lot of time on. They were obviously (to me) the wrong articles on the face of it, because they were covering aspects that weren't really what I was looking for (the wrong sort of detail and emphasis).

So I think I would have been off and running pretty much immediately with the web search results rather than spending time on the clear dead ends.

ChatGPT gets me there too, after enough back-and-forth, but it takes longer for me to zero in on what I'm looking for.

I say this not to say that ChatGPT is in any way bad for this. I'm just noticing a difference in how the two of us engage in learning new topics. Perhaps the reality is that for some people, ChatGPT is a godsend, and for others, it's fine... but hardly an improvement for this use use case.

It would explain a lot.

(Also, when did learning stop being fun??)

I'm against forcing people to provide their ID in order to see pornography. Indeed, I am, if anything, supportive of adults being able to understand and fully experience their erotic lives, as long as no one is harmed, and to do so anonymously where possible.

But your attitude is, in a historical context, weird. At basically no point in history has it been the case that the sole responsibility for the well being of children lay entirely with the parents. If you look, for instance, at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (see the Parenthood article section Parental Responsibilities), you will see, for instance, that throughout most of western history and for most people, there is an explicit or implicit understanding that it is, in fact, the parents who operate as stewards of children _on behalf of_ society and that the ultimate locus of responsibility for the security and well being of children is the society at large, not the parents. This is why, for instance, the state is typically understood to have the right to remove a child from the home of an abusive or neglectful parent. Given that understanding, there is a commensurate power in society to make rules which may protect children and in our particular historical moment these rules take the form of laws at multiple levels of government.

It places a powerful (and disordered) burden on parents to make them _exclusively_ responsible for the safety and wellbeing of their children.
Agreed, that name is catastrophically horrible.
I tried to read all the links, but there are still some questions:

So Google has a button to make it the standard browser and a group policy to do that automatically. This computes the userchoice hash based on the SID, obfuscated formulas, the create time of the registry key (minute only, retrying when the minute has changed while writing).

Now MS publishes an update which breaks this (But how?). Gizmodo says it only happes to "chrome.exe". Google implemented the userchoice hash algorithm, but now they disabled "the experiment".

And now?

When will Google come up with another solution? Does the group policy still work? What exactly did the update from MS change? Did the userchoice algorithm change somehow?

Does the button in Chrome to set the default even still work?

Here's how userchoice is or was implemented:

We're beyond the point where good faith can be assumed, and we're down to brass tacks. Our judiciary has shown they are more than willing to creatively reinterpret precedent as they see fit. Our Executive is acting more and more like a dictator with an entire corpus of executive based lawmaking at his disposal (Administrative Law). The Legislature has abdicated responsibility for reigning in excesses in the interest of the little people rather than established incorporated interests and high value donors.

After struggling for years, I finally found someone through Kaiser (my insurance company for those outside of west coast USA), and they were absolutely phenomenal.

By some sort of fortunate occurrence, I started talking to them about 3 weeks before the COVID lockdowns. I don't know how I would have survived if not for him.

Sadly, due to how Kaiser treats their mental health staff, they decided to move on (and leave practicing therapy). Since he was moving on, Kaiser booted me out of their services since I wasn't a case that necessitated emergency treatment (they are right, but I still needed to _talk to someone_).

It's led me down a rabbit hole of trying to find various therapists. Most in this area are at capacity (naturally, everyone needs a therapist right now) or won't accept the third party service Kaiser partners through.

I ended up doing Betterhelp for a bit and that was such a mixed experience. Therapists that are overbooked and just grinding (one told me they have 70 clients a week! Uh, what?!) and the support was just so sub-par.

Specifically due to privacy concerns (and I think it's only a matter of time before these services have some sort of data breach), I registered with a throw away email, truncated my name, and generally just tried to provide very little identifying info.

I have even wondered why it's that big a deal for many people. I guess idle minds have nothing better to do other than think about solely sex, porn, food or drugs. And the only way they can prevent themselves from overindulging in these things is to have an external authority figure like the government impose strict restrictions on them.

Personal observation: most people just do fine if they are exposed to porn as kids. In fact they are more well-rounded, and intellectually mature compared to their peers who were never exposed to those things early on, just like all other topics.
The correct mathematical term is “real number”.
Your position is extreme. And by definition one of a minority. If you've got the feeling it's growing, it's called radicalisation, which is a concern for the fate of societies since it's defeating all the efforts that have been made for getting out of some dark ages of the past.

People in the US seem to be at higher risk than Europeans of catastrophic problem drinking (where alcohol use leads to a loss of employment, housing, marriage / social connections, etc).

I have seen this with several European friends who relocated to the US and found their relationship with alcohol turning dark.

My personal theory is that life in the states may be on average more stressful than in Europe, perhaps due to lack of healthcare, at-will employment, etc., and this life pressure causes people here to be more at risk of self-medication problem drinking.
I agree with most of what you said.

Having spent more time thinking about political systems than I should, I'd say that this arrangement probably isn't a unique to the Brits (or their past colonies), but rather a universal political fact.

In general, words aren't worth the paper they're written on, unless they conform with the political reality. There's no monarch in the world that could actually exercise their powers on paper unless they also have the political clout to back them up.

The uniqueness of the British system is how weak the monarchy has gotten over the years, and how acutely aware they are about the situation. England's monarchy comes from a really long line of succession, due to the relative ease of defending an island from invaders. Monarchs that rule by right of conquest are generally strong and authoritative, their heirs becoming less so for each succession. (Japan shares this trait and hence the political system is somewhat similar)

And then, the near-death experience during the 1600s made the British monarchy even weaker, and more conscious about the dangers of angering the common mob. And so they invented the idea of constitutional monarchy, that is somehow "just like" the other democratic republics, except without the regicide part :)

Before this democracy thing became popular, it used to be cool for monarchs to proclaim to have more power than they actually had in political reality. After revolutions and regicides became a thing in Europe, they started to do the opposite and claimed to have less power than they had on paper.

But what I'm trying to say is, many monarchs (whether British or not) historically had little real power anyways, and would have most likely would have triggered constitutional crises if they disagreed with their ministers (or the powerful elites).

I think the re-imaging of the British monarchy as mentioned above is truly ingenious, and while I took my sweet time deconstructing it, I still think it's an amazing narrative. I'd classify it as "anti-republicanism propaganda", but it's brilliant nonetheless.

Note: used to be a British subject before 1997. Hah.
