You'd have to invest in quality engineering on the browser itself with no guarantee that this would actually improve anything or drive revenue.

The idea would be a gambit that you could improve the software sufficiently that it accidentally became actually competitive with chrome.

Right now, it feels like some weird hobby project that falls short of the engineering chops that went into Chrome, and I suspect people can feel this too.
I like it uses .value instead of () to read a signal like Solid. More keystrokes but feels cleaner.
> To me, before I met Unisys' MCP, it was the epitome of user-hostile OS. Not because it's particularly difficult to navigate, but that everything is deeply alien (same feeling as z/OS, BTW).

Nit, but you're not describing something that's "user-hostile," just something that's unfamiliar to the user that is you.

Alien could actually be very good and user-friendly, since a lot of the stuff we're used to frankly sucks, and we're stuck as at an inferior local maxima that's very hard to get out of.
I'm not convinced that USA needs the thousands of banks it does. Most countries survive with a small set of national banks. There seems to be little downside, and makes sense not to have all the duplicated overhead.
I love browser wars. Google is getting taste of its own medicine. They also have endless message "Install google chrome" when we go to google.com or youtube.com.

I think Microsoft should do more to Google. Meanwhile, I am happy with Firefox.
the general state of firefox suggests that they are not large enough to do more than one thing.
My point being that it's not measurable, which is another reason for governments to not be involved.
The law should require this disclosure upfront, or at least the proportion of premium of the metal level, such as employer will pay 50% of silver level plan within x network.

The employer is required to disclose total premium cost on the W-2 however, line 12 code DD I believe.

White collar employees that have marketable skills really benefit from being able to silo their risks in employer pools, because their healthcare costs are lower than those of blue collar workers.

I specifically remember people complaining about increasing premiums after Affordable Care Act because they would have to subsidize sicker people who simply did not have insurance in the first place, and I believe former Senator Lieberman from Connecticut, home to many health insurance companies, was able to capitalize on this and strip the “public option” from the Affordable Care Act.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health_insurance_option

The whole thing is an exercise in splitting the populace into various tribes of haves and have nots and pitting them against each other.

Another handout to big businesses by government is the pre tax purchase of health insurance premiums by a business for employees, but if an employee of a business that does not offer insurance subsidies buys it themselves, they have to pay with post tax income.
Right, he's just one of the other ten people sitting at a table with a nazi.
I don't think this addresses the point: if you can connect to a service, then laws like this will require them to make an ID challenge. If you can't connect, then it's a moot point.

The service itself can't say that it can't connect to you, because it's an online service and you're trivially connected to it.
Nobody is claiming obesity isn’t a risk. But it’s an error to equate sugar to the obesity for one. It is also not "literally" unlimited access unless the cost of sugar is zero and that's easily falsifiable. I'm assuming your point is that people can have as much sugar as they want. Two, food is necessary to life but porn is not. That makes controlling food much, much harder. It would be like someone addicted to sex having to walk through a brothel every day to get to work. Sugar is inexpensive (but still not free) and we’re experiencing the bad effects so I’m not sure what you’re pointing out other than as vices get more free and more accessible, the scale shifts towards worse outcomes. Your whole point boils down to whataboutism rather than debating the actual points.

Lastly, I’m not sure you made any case that pornography is relatively safe.

Are you of the opinion that because a behavior is legal that necessarily makes it right in all cases? If so, I suppose that is where I disagree.
Eh, this really seems like moving the goal posts.

The problem with SVB &other is not that they fundamentally were losing money. They just weren't making _enough_ money so they took on additional risk. If SVB hedged the IRR they wouldn't have gone bankrupt; they just would've had less profit.

The banks people want are technically feasible.

In js you could just:

const isOdd = require('is-odd');
console.log(isOdd(∞));
Mediocre web browsers aren't making them money though. The search partnership royalties are. If it is still making them money, why try harder?

Is Firefox-centric Mozilla still relevant in 2023? No, not really.

People also assume that x is a distraction to the goal of y, but why would it be? If it hasn't happened yet, it probably isn't going to.

At this point, they arguably lost the browser war, even if they made a great browser, it is going to struggle to win meaningful marketshare, and even then, how many people are going to subscribe to Pocket or a VPN? Nowhere near as much as what their search royalties make them, which likely isn't going to last forever in this climate.

What about if Google pulls the plug on their search partnership due to declining Firefox numbers? They're largely dependent on Google. They probably can't pay their CEO $3m salary if that goes South.
Modular Inference Engine
For a company that's done so much tech, and had such a huge impact on the computer industry, there are very few "true blue" IBMers who you can hold up as engineering pioneers. Tehy've always been bog-standard salesmen.
Load shedding is already a thing with most modern grids. Many industrial locations like steel and concrete plants get paid to reduce usage during peak hours. But this only goes so far unless you are willing to sweat it out during a heat wave and lose the contents of your freezer/supermarket.

A huge goal of storage is to reduce the need for load management/shedding during shortfalls and use of natural gas peaker plants. Industrial only accounts for about 25% of our electricity usage.

Note: These plants, if located properly, can also have greater than 100% efficiency during the wet season due to rainfall capture. This is how traditional hydropower works.
I have to imagine there's a boom of people trying it for the first time when it becomes legal who then realize it's not as universally enjoyable of a high as alcohol.

It's weird how most of the discussion I hear about weed is how it just makes movies funny and you get hungry. But then most people I've talked to about it one-on-one don't have nearly as good of an experience, myself included. It makes me paranoid and depressed, and if I try watching a movie I can't remember what happened a scene ago so I can't follow the story. My passage of time gets screwed up, adding to the paranoia/fear, and I occasionally realize I'm clenching my jaw, and I've experienced jaw pain the next day from it. Not to mention how it saps all your energy/motivation. At least talking to your friend when you're drunk can lead to some funny conversations. Conversations/socialization between people who smoked weed is just nothing.
I recently joined forces with some web dev/designer friends to start a team for hire. Collectively we have a ton of experience building and shipping websites of all kinds. We are looking for clients who need help building early stage SaaS products, or similar.

If the GP is right, Google is violating the terms of the license. A quick search of the code reveals that Google's code doesn't include copyright headers with attribution to the GP. This could be stolen code.
Not nitpicking, I’m just saying a weak analogy doesn’t strengthen your case. Equating sugar to porn misses some of the important aspects of what makes porn potentially dangerous.
Asking simple questions is a great way to start, it doesn’t matter how old you are. I think Feynman and Schrödinger would agree. Certainly de Broglie would. You can go down as deeply as you like.

Right now, if the level involves advanced math, it’s better to switch to other sources at some point, but that will change.

You can ask GPT-4 to tutor you, also.
>What I can’t understand is if the people in camp 2 are so unashamed of the porn advocacy then why is age verification such a big deal?

When marijuana became legalized in my state, you had to verify your age and they wrote down your ID in a book. It quickly went away because its draconian as shit. I'm not ashamed to buy weed or alcohol, or look at porn, but I still don't want to create a written record every time I do it.

I also generally don't agree with the moral panic that conservatives want to generate about porn. Most kids see porn and have since porn was produced. It's on the parent to, you know, be a parent.

These laws have nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with social control.

We're talking about a state that imprisoned a women for being topless around her children. These people are dangerous and want to enforce their fringe world view on everyone they can.
Lol, going where exactly? Every big company has blocked or restricted ChatGPT from the day it became available.
As a US citizen, I've found that utterly bizarre and borderline insane for my entire life.
> why should carding people on porno websites be different

Unless you live in a state where they scan your ID for such transactions, those in-person purchases can be effectively anonymous.

Out of curiosity, what state do you live in where gas stations sell pornography?

As an aside, in many cases, porn served by websites isn't meant to be bought. It is effectively advertising.
The thing is I had this until 3G went away. Now texting is more of a bitch than it was with the chiclet keyboard, and the battery uses about 4x more energy (in standby, with the screen off) even with everything extra disabled or removed. And the phone is larger. The only gain is a better camera.

My wife's situation is even worse.

Why can't these mother fuckers still make at least one non-touchscreen phone with a chiclet keyboard??!!!!!!!! Even "old people" like to fucking text. They could sell it for 300% profit. Hell, even 1000% profit. People like me would pay. Toss 5G onto it so they do a manufacturing run once, and continue selling the same model for 10+ years until their stock runs out.

This can be done, and done profitably. They just don't care.
I'd argue that being closer to work is more density, but it really doesn't matter. People like being near things they like, whether that is density or is merely correlated to it.
This seems to disregard the commutative property of multiplication
1 - Interfaces are types on the type system

2 - Interfaces can be combined into type relationships

3 - Due to structural typing, an interface can extend another one by having a common method set, allowing for Liskov substitution, any implementation that takes the base interface, will also take the extended one.

What Go cannot guarantee via structural typing is that the subtyping is desired and not a coincidence in method naming.
Dude... IMAP is decades old. I used Squirrelmail webmail when gmail came out.
> The fix? as simple as changing the browser's user agent to look like Android/Chrome.

I'm not defending Google here, but once I worked for a company whose web support strategy consisted of explicitly supporting a specific subset of browsers, and have a user-agent allowlist to pick if a request loaded the current version of the page or a legacy, feature incomplete but broadly supported version. The guiding principle was that we would have to draw the line in the sand regarding which browsers we'd cover in our test matrix, and instead of risking subjecting users who used unsupported browser to broken experiences then it was preferable that we assured they would experience an old but bulletproof version of it.

We started off by showing a "this browser is not supported, please upgrade" page, until some other department in our company complained up and down the org tree because they used thin clients with outdated browsers. Thus instead of showing a "please upgrade" page we fed the old version, and everyone was happy.

I see how this looks like intentionally feeding a degraded experience to subsets of users, but having been in a decision-making process that led to the same outcome, let me assure you there are real-world scenarios where this outcome does not originate in malice or any ulterior motive.
We can tackle multiple issues at once. My country taxes sugar already.

“Sky wizard” is a bright red flag for a bad-faith argument, so I’m not going to do a bunch of research for you. Search around for voices of people who have struggled with porn addiction. If you think it’s a purely religious thing, you’re mistaken.
I don't understand what you're saying. Patreon, which exists and permits "stuff placed on the Web" to be accessed upon payment, either works or it doesn't. HTTP additionally has a whole range of standardized 4xx status codes related to authorization—notably 402 Payment Required, but also 401 Unauthorized and 403 Forbidden. Similarly, subscriber-only podcasts exist.

Either people are getting paid for stuff (which would necessarily imply that it's possible), or they aren't.

This is really interesting and another dimension to cloud. The fact is, even very expensive cloud instances are _slow_. They suffer from noisy neighbours badly, and also IO performance is generally really poor compared to on machine PCIe4.0 NVMe drives, which is probably the key performance block on many workloads.
This I don't understand. Even if you configure KMS, those are still keys stored on Google infra.

A magnificent game changing project once again by the creator(s) of LLVM. I think this time they might have a proper Python alternative. Many have tried like Julia Lang, R, C#, Swift, Rust, Haskell, etc and all have failed in competing against Python.

Perhaps this time, we finally have one that is a proper replacement for anything requiring intensive compute and performance without being a systems programmer, all thanks to the finest compiler engineers who brought you LLVM, MLIR and now Mojo. (Not the AI hype squad sitting on O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com's APIs.)

If you know Python you have learned 90% of Mojo. Just waiting to see if it can compile to a binary.

Already had one in 2008. Thankfully, our currency’s value is notional and the fed can print more until such time as the bank run ends.
I had a class in community college that was taught on one of these. It was not what I was expecting from a programming class. I had a real bad time of it.

Later on, I briefly came to be in possession of an AS/400 that allegedly originally belonged to WKQX Chicago. I held on to it for a couple months but I didn't even have the slightest idea about how to go about hooking it up, let alone the proper cables, so I eventually let it go to another scraphound.
> Mediocre web browsers aren't making them money though. The search partnership royalties are. If it is still making them money, why try harder?

Wouldn't they get more royalties if they could attract more users to their web browser?
The point is to show the big picture.

It's true that error management is critical for a production environment, but from a pedagogic point of view, they can left as an "exercise for the reader".
You can't really eat cannabis can you? It's much more like alcohol and other vices.

It's not clear that the government should be terribly interested in helping cannabis. We can see why we want a regular food supply (and yes, that includes for animals) but it doesn't seem to be a government interest to make sure everyone can get high.
Paying below market is still a cost with no guarantee that the worker will stay on. It's more advantageous to hire someone who was already trained in such a manner at a different company.

I agree. It's very inefficient. And as a result, it personally costs me money - in the form of higher taxes for that very inefficiency. And all banks should be subject to the same regulation. Them saying that they "can't afford it" is just further evidence that consolidation is necessary.

Companies banning the use of ChatGPT level tools going forward will find the rules either flouted, subverted or the employees going elsewhere.

Why? Companies typically have many rules that they expect employees to follow. Why would employees disregard these particular rules, or even quit because of them?
technically those two are not mutually exclusive
This doesn't directly add to or take from your point, because obviously laws have a purpose -

that assassin was motivated by an extreme religious affiliation to the lawmakers. There is irony here.
Seems like it could be interesting ...

Initial impression is that the animation of Mojo code vs. Python code has a bad UX. Why not just show the code side-by-side instead of animating it and making me click?

Another obvious question is how is it different than Numba and so forth?

https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo.html

The Mojo language has lofty goals - we want full compatibility with the Python ecosystem, we would like predictable low-level performance and low-level control, and we need the ability to deploy subsets of code to accelerators. We also don’t want ecosystem fragmentation - we hope that people find our work to be useful over time, and don’t want something like the Python 2 => Python 3 migration to happen again. These are no small goals!

and

Mojo already supports many core features of Python including async/await, error handling, variadics, etc, but… it is still very early and missing many features - so today it isn’t very compatible. Mojo doesn’t even support classes yet!

So I think the idea is good, but yeah re-implementing Python is a huge effort !

Though the comparison right below is notable:

A major goal of Clang was to be a “compatible replacement” for GCC, MSVC and other existing compilers. It is hard to make a direct comparison, but the complexity of the Clang problem appears to be an order of magnitude bigger than implementing a compatible replacement for Python. The journey there gives good confidence we can do this right for the Python community
IBM felt to me like the last holdout of the shiny shoed salesmen when I briefly worked for them. Before the internet and big tech companies with leaders who were theoretically technical there were the companies dominated by salesmen because selling was the critical part.

I imagine that getting a board to spend a lot of money on some project is hard and you need the support of the kind of people that can influence board members.

So to get your project past a lot of people who basically don't respect or believe in nerds you had to hire a company with non-nerdy salesmen to back you up.

i.e. the entire thing is social. And just because the nerds (us) have trounced them for the last N years, it doesn't mean that the world has converted into 100% nerd. Shiny shoed salesmen are probably still quite necessary.

I joined as part of an acquisition. I am probably biased but they spent a year making the product multilingual and not fixing anything. Everyone knows the name of the Open Source knock-off of that product but not the name of the product anymore. It's probably still there taking almost no investment of effort.

So I got the impression that IBM is a company where software goes to live out its old age and die. I think of Redhat (perhaps unfairly) with their super complicated Linux distribution which must be a nightmare to maintain because it does so many things and needs to keep long compatibility guarantees. I'm not expecting any innovation whatsoever from them. Perhaps this is very unfair and ignorant of me. I'm happy to be corrected.
