The funny(ironic) thing is. tabs as a desktop metaphor belong to the window manager.. however tabs, as implemented, were a revolt against window manager tabs.

If I understand history correctly, with the meteoric rise in popularity of our modern day terminal(the web browser) people were wanting to run more and more browsers at the same time. as the existing desktop manager state of the art(probably windows 95) was coming up short when dealing with the number of windows people wanted open the browser manufacture Netscape said fine, we will do it our self, this is where my memory gets fuzzy, I forget if it was an early firefox(phoenix anyone) the full mozilla browser or netscape proper(6 ish timeframe) that invented tabs, but they were and still are a very popular way control your many many browser windows you had open.

Really in the wrong layer however, it should be your desktop manager that provides tabs, not the application, and some do, but it is not a common thing what with the way DM tabs fight application tabs.
I think it may be something about my phone, but who knows. Everything else works fine.

Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Keep AI from Going Nuclear
There’s due diligence to follow people and the blue check mark shouldn’t remove the need for knowing who is the person you follow or at least what you do with their info.

I don’t think a blue check mark pre acquisition met this requirement just as it doesn’t now.

Photos can be deepfaked, but there are ways to help against that. Like having the photo posted by a known person. I mean, users could deepfake the ids used for pre acquisition twitter, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing that.

Just like I’ve never heard of anyone deepfaking their way past an AMA proof.
I talked to a guy who manages a chess club, and he said it was a combination of Queen's Gambit and Covid lockdowns that boosted interest over the past three years.
client certs (from the time the article mentions) are supposed to be used for consumers, hence no fancy chain like you mention, which was intended for b2b.

for cliente using a browser, the site would provide the user once with much less overhead and costs and red tape, using it own cert/private keys, which do have the full chain. it was basically a better way to be always logged without forever plain text cookies, as we actually got. or even worse, baked in the publisher owned OS/browser as google mamaged to fool everyone into.
It's not just "that". Minetest is actually a "voxel game engine", and allows all sorts of things. A better showcase is the community's mod catalog, "ContentDB" [1].

Some mods/games even try to break out from the cubic theme, for instance "Little Lady" [2] or the "Rocks" mod [3]

It should be mentioned, though, that beyond those "extreme" cases, the MC-like voxel model is vastly easier to deal with for mod creators, and that's really a key point. That's the kind of thing a high-school kids can hack because it's Lua and PNG textures all the way.

It's actually really sane. Elected individuals are almost always corrupt... you really can't be elected anymore without owing lots of people favours.

An unelected, non-political individual who is above it all results in a more stable democracy.
I wonder if the increasing "lifelessness" of videogames is not only caused by the same open-world ubisoft-style formula and microtransactions, but by increasing graphical fidelity while having extremely static environments in these games.

The game world should feel like an actual world and not a diorama with extra steps.
Certainly they have. Also, it’s kind of a catch22 because if a police department is bad wouldn’t you systematically cut their budget?
That's a very elaborate way of saying that competitive players should delude themselves to cope with their weak mental game.

> Anything below 80% winrate, means it becomes hard to distinguish the learning signal from the variance of the matching.

Using winrate as a learning signal is your first mistake. You're making a million different decisions per game, and then decide to summarize it with a binary W/L?
If you want proper signal, you need to analyze your games on a more fine-grained level.

> And the loss should be correlated to the way you played.

No, it shouldn't and doesn't. Dealing with variance, and things beyond your control is an essential part of developing a strong mentality. Especially when playing in-person.

> The brain also need some balance between the carrot and the stick otherwise the ego take a hit.

If your ego takes a hit from this, you need to get back to the drawing board instead of praying that the world will change to accommodate your issues.

> you can't get past without spending as much time as your opponent on tactics, or openings, and you never get to experience chess on a more strategic level, or deeper understanding level. This mean that most of the fun get extracted out of chess once you get addicted/interested enough.

I can't speak to the "lack of stategy", but what makes a game fun to compete in is highly subjective.

> soulless addicted grinders

This is the exact kind of language and attitude I would see from players who plateau hard, and looking for external factors to blame.
> AI and ML ... still insist to treat the two as obviously separate

Automated problem solving does not imply "learning". E.g. clustering does not. Also, expert systems are pretty static, and it is not really the "machine" that learns (a flowchart can hardly be said to "learn").

> decided

It is not a matter of deciding ("de-cidere" (cutting) and fuzziness do not really marry), it is just looking at the terms with some historic awareness.

The "brain" works through fuzzy patterns, and of course the concepts somehow relevant to said model also do. You don't cut over a blurry line, but separate points in space remain distant.
Yes, they are. There was an EU wide push to use these as a form of online public authentication.

I think a lot more people used keygen than this article seems to claim, even without knowing it. The alternative on IE was either an activeX control or a java applet (neither feasible on a mozilla browser since the applet wont have acess to the browser certificate storage).

When Mozilla deprecated keygen, these services never recovered. The proposed alternatives had even worse UI and were even less portable.

Seems really interesting but there haven't been any updates for two years and I don't think the design is open.
I can seldom resist the opportunity to quote a footnote from Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman:

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system:

Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

I have read that a ha'penny from the time of Queen Victoria is worth about 5p in today's currency, an argument for abolishing the annoyingly worthless 2p and 1p coins.
And venting those fumes into the city is okay? Oo
This is the fault of of one person: Jerome Powell. That man has done more damage to the US and the world than any of the biggest calamities that come to mind (9/11, Katrina, Trump/Biden/Fauci depending on your politics).

The last 3 years of monetary policy have been the biggest destructive f-up ever imaginable. Printing endless money causing the collapse of the value of the dollar, causing serious inflation, to an insane raise in rates to try to undo the damage which (1) not only destroys the entire banking sector and tech industry, and (2) did absolutely nothing to fix the destruction of the USD.

Well the global economy and most national ones were in a permanent boom and bust cycle between at least the mid to late 18th century and the Great Depression.

The gold standard was never stable, just look at:

Just instead of steadily (well prior to 2020 anyway) going up all the time like now the worth of currencies was swinging up and down in a wildly volatile and unpredictable manner every few years..
The only way a company providing end to end encrypted messaging service can comply with such an order is to ship a backdoored version of their client software. This might send copies of the messages somewhere else as well, or use deliberately weakened keys, or something like that.

There is no way for the companies to break the encryption on their servers without compromising the client first.
Mind-blowing attention to detail. For early 80s this is so far ahead of time.
> I believe you could pay to get a proper certificate from a trusted CA for your email address to use S/MIME - I have no idea if any CA still does this or how many people do so.

There are a handful of CAs that offer S/MIME certificates, not that obscure of a service really. Actalis is the only one doing it for free though.

It is a bit cumbersome but it's rather well-supported (gmail, apple mail, outlook, thunderbird etc.). Hopefully things get simpler now that the CA/B forum S/MIME workgroup is working on clear baseline requirements (so the ecosystem is still moving forward). Something like a mailbox-validated "Let's Encrypt" would be doable and I hope something like that would appear at some point.
Nothing with Starlette? (Or any other ASGI framework, at least) :(
Appalachia is poor as dirt, yet has half the crime rate. And that's just one comparison - there are lots of others in the world.

Crime is a meme (in the Dawkins sense). You see your peers memeing and you start to repeat the same meme yourself. The more you're surrounded by the meme, the more it becomes part of you and how you operate. It's how our brains operate as pattern recognizers and pattern repeaters.

The spread of school shootings is a meme - it didn't happen in the pre-internet era, yet the uptick in news about it has led to a proliferation. It's become a part of the public consciousness, including amongst those that feel disaffected and likely to fall into destructive patterns of thought. It's easy to find online communities that reinforce these feelings and dispositions.

"Incel behavior". Meme.

Anti-trans politics. From out of nowhere, it's suddenly everywhere. Also a meme.

Through this lens, gang behavior amongst disaffected youth is no different than shitposting on Twitter in how it latches on to people and spreads.

If you transplanted the seeds of Atlanta crime into Pickens County, Georgia, I've no doubt the same behavior would take root there. It's independent of skin color or genes. It's a brain modality.

Behavior spreads as a meme. If there are pockets that support or reinforce a particular behavior, then the fire can't and won't die out.
20 years ago I had my blog (this was before we really called them "blogs") set up to authenticate me via a certificate to show the admin panel and anybody without that certificate (or with a different one) to just see the read-only front page. I even had a couple of friends enroll so they could leave comments. I feel like client certificates are the biggest and most depressing what-might-have-been's of the Web; a great technology that was ultimately killed by pedantic people putting up unnecessary barriers because somebody might scrape your process tree for a password or whatever. We really let the perfect be the enemy of the good here.

“As a result of this transaction, JPMorgan Chase expects to:

Recognize an upfront, one-time, post-tax gain of approximately $2.6 billion, which does not reflect the approximately $2.0 billion dollars of post-tax restructuring costs anticipated over the next 18 months

The transaction is expected to be modestly EPS accretive and generate more than $500 million of incremental net income per year, not including the approximately $2.6 billion one-time post-tax gain or approximately $2.0 billion of post-tax restructuring costs expected over the course of 2023 and 2024.”

Scotland has three verdicts for trails:

I like that system, but it seems there is a legal review going on at the moment which might abolish it.

I once spend more time than I want to admit constructing the best possible 10-square in Dutch[1]. There are also some other forms that are fun, like cubes[2], or hypercubes. Or using bigrams. Or hexagonal tiles. And so forth.

Finding solutions for big squares/wordlists in reasonable time is actually not a trivial algorithmic problem. Neither is making good wordlists, I ended up creating what is essentially a Dutch version of the Pile[3] just to collect words. Good fun.

Not all updates are good. If it seems like a company is going to publish an update which will break the product for a lot of people, there's nothing wrong with pushing back against it. There is no moral imperative to be thankful that a product is receiving updates regardless of the content of the updates.

> This would not have happened with a stable supply of the base currency.

You wouldn't have had a stable fractional banking system prior to the 1930s anyway. So yeah, in a way you're right.

Generally financial systems are much more stable nowadays than they were under the gold standard.

But today, this is irrelevant as the "web" was stolen by blackrock and vanguard big tech companies.

It was sneaky and malicious: A "web engine" became grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex, and that includes its SDK (yeah, a c++ compiler is even worse) and only very few can actually "work". Only google and apple provide "for free" web engines: blink and google financed geeko (firefox) from google, and webkit from apple. The only way to build those is with gcc (~MIT) or clang/llvm (~apple).

And you call that digital freedom? Those are digital digital chains.

The only way out is hardcore regulation with noscript/basic html browsers and simple but able to do good enough job protocols, and that stable in time (for instance irc if there is a text chat).

That's the most facile explanation, but it's also the most boring one. It's always easier to say that something doesn't have meaning, function, or design, rather than to say that you don't know what it is.
Yes, highly likely it's mTLS like in other EU countries. Though some countries have a longer track-record and better client software (and legislative enforcement of support) than others, providing a smoother experience.

Most of the stumbles seem to be from countries and the EU not cooperating with browser vendors to fix the rough edges. Unfortunate but probably a tragedy of the commons.
> I understand that an i5 is better than an i3 and worse than an i7.

That isn't always true. It's pushed by intel as a "handy reference" for specifications, when it's actually just a price bracket. Many noobs will see it as a three-level hierarchy and conclude that they need an i7 for their mundane office work, when a pentium would have sufficed.

You gotta read and understand the specifications.

AMD has an actually useful naming spec for their processors, unlike intel.

> Another person simply doesn’t care about shipping code with bugs, and maybe even tries to. They get to shirk actual development duties by fixing their own broken code instead, and the fixes are celebrated.

In one of the companies where I work, there is a chronic lack of hours for a few freelancers who were taken on with promises of full-time work. They compensate by shipping code with bugs, generating a bunch of bug reports down the line. This compensates for the missing hours. And as performance is evaluated in terms of the number of tickets closed, it also improves their standing in the workplace.

They weren't even exactly stable if you look at data between 1800 and the 1930s , though:

or even in the 18th century:

https://www.in2013dollars.com/UK-inflation

The counter-swings just created an illusion of longterm stability. But it definitely didn't feel that way for people living on the ground (of course a lot of that is down to unstable food supply and not just the monetary system. Not that it was avoidable, you can't really have a fiat currency without a stable and somewhat reliable government anyway).
Could that be something to do with the things I keep reading about how somehow knowledge from, say, an LLM for generative text somehow carries over (in some way) to an LLM for image generation? I'm obviously not very knowledgeable in this area :).

I'm having to deal with multiple applications that are essentially an API that consolidate responses from a couple of other services.

Each one is it's own container, with all the baggage that comes along with configuring your helm charts, managing egress, dealing with people who want to manage security with IP address references, etc.
Considering how simple a lot of these things are they should be a serverless function until the point is reached where there is a strategic advantage to the overhead of managing K8s.

I would say that >50% will never reach that stage and all that it is adding is overhead of configuration, and overhead of managing the container security.
Totally! Thanks for your comment.

Not to unnecessarily shit on the parade, but I’m not sure this is by itself all that exciting, and calling it a breakthrough seems like an exaggeration. Diagnosing Parkinson’s isn’t really an issue - worst case you give the putative sufferer Levadopa and see if they respond. If they do, they’ve got Parkinson’s.

Not sure how much this really changes the time horizon for an actual treatment. It’s progress, ostensibly, but I’d quibble with categorising it as a breakthrough.

The brilliant piece of the web, the bit that was revolutionary, the bit that most web alternatives not only fail to implement but appear to be fundamentally unable to implement, because let's face it, this is a terrible idea. is the idea that one web document can load any other web document.

Hypercard is the common bogey man for a better web that failed, but in my mind the closest modern web alternative that failed to do this is the app store. now I know why the app model does not let you load arbitrary resources and you know why the app model does not let you load arbitrary resources, but in the right sort of light, if you squint the right way, you can see what may have been, how perhaps the exec() syscall may have taken an argument, a url, of what to exec.
