Some of it has to do with changes to browsers’ acceptance of cookies. If you need to set cookies on multiple domains you control (common for SSO), you used to be able to do it by loading a pixel image or tiny script from each domain. Now, however, that’s considered a third-party cookie, and rejected by many browsers. The only reliable way now is to redirect the whole page, and then redirect back.
Recently I re-discovered my old collection of mp3s. I copied them to my laptop and started listening (using VLC). It blew me away how pleasant the experience was, particularly the overall responsiveness, navigating from track-to-track, skipping around in a track, stuff like that. I never really noticed the delays from streaming services until they were gone.
Axis is cool, they once even had (still have?) their own CPU / ISA (ETRAX CRIS) plus a Linux port:

Yes but these are APIs - not specifically ones with GPT plugins?

I'm really not sure...

EDIT - they are APIs with the neccesary metadata to be used as GPT plugins.

I was confused by the fact they aren't listed in GPT when you're in plugin mode - but that's just the officially vetted list.

(Before that I was confused by the interchangable use of "plugin" and "api" and the the use of "AI" when OP specifically seems to mean "ChatGPT"...)
Aye, SV was a hub of Navy research and activity since before WWI. Moffett Field, the early version of NASA, and Stanford all made it a thing long before some 90s dotcom asplosion.

> In the old days of P2P MP3 sharing, there were just a few songs that were misidentified

I remember (a friend) downloading Box Car Racer's new album on p2p only to find an indie band had uploaded their own songs under the legitimate BCR track listing. While immediately clear they weren't BCR, friend was intrigued and continued to listen to them for years without having any idea who they really were.
Don't blame Electron for Teams. It certainly doesn't help, but there's plenty of Electron apps that are perfectly functional and fairly snappy. Just compare it with VS Code. Same company, both Electron apps. The difference is astonishing.
I ran windows server 2016/2019 as a development workstation for a couple of years. It was great compared to windows 10. If docker hadn't dropped support for desktop on windows server I might still be running it.

I would prefer it show me the homebrew command in addition to a copy to clipboard button instead of just the button so I have to _trust_ what you're having me paste.

Printers keep us hooked on expensive ink
Well, there are classes and objects in there now. They're designed for modelling pretty heavyweight entities like widgets instead of lightweight things like linked lists.

It was a fun OO system to write. It's much more dynamic than it appears to be at first glance; it's first glance looks much like many other languages object systems with a few slight oddities (no new operator, but rather classes have a new method).
Manufacturers lock us into buying inkjet cartridges at exorbitant prices. Three policy solutions to fix inkjet printers with transparency, competition, and choice. If we can fix printers, maybe we can fix it all. We can have technology that’s designed to last, is fixable, and restores our freedom to choose.

Inkjet cartridges are sold at an absurd markup. Black printer ink can be purchased wholesale for $1.18 per fl. oz., while functionally the same ink in a cartridge costs $118 per fl. oz.

Americans could save $10 billion per year by using remanufactured (refilled) ink cartridges. Refilling rather than manufacturing single-use plastic cartridges could save the plastic equivalent to 4 million single-use plastic grocery bags per year.

Printer restrictions are the poster child for the growing conflict between common-sense ideas of ownership and restrictive copyright claims.
Veggie and can't wait. I'm veggie because the meat industry is, on the whole, horrendous to the lives of animals, is an industry of trauma for the people who kill animals day in day out, and because its unsustainable for the planet. I'm not a veggie because I dont think meat tastes great; there's no substitute for he depth of flavour that meat gives.
A country making solar panels doesn't necessarily plan to use all of them.

It was an exports/services (consulting) play. "Skating where the puck will be" and all that—become the experts with plenty of production capacity before the market per se justifies it. IIRC they made similar efforts for other renewables, like wind power. Not sure how all that's going, but I know it was regarded by many as a good move, a couple decades back when they were investing in it all.
> The author is bringing up traditional burning practices because suppression of those practices is a cause of our current mega fires.

tl;dr Yes, we should do more controlled burns. No, our current situation has very little to do with "traditional burning practices".

Racism against First Peoples isn't the biggest or near one of the biggest reason we haven't been doing controlled burns in California -- leftwing greenies have opposed burns because they oppose man's intervention with nature.

_Was_ racism a reason? Sure, but the past is not the present. The present situation with fires is mostly driven by leftwing politics.

The greenies didn't just oppose "traditional burning practices" but also _modern_ burning practices that are used in other US states, and they have much more control over California's policy (and even Fed Interior policy) than racist bogeymen.

Even this correction is being driven by those politics, as a return to "traditional burning practices" after (real and imagined) historical injustice.
Earlier this week I got spam call that was almost certainly an AI-generated human voice.
Article says there is compelling but contested “smoking gun” evidence in favor of both lab leak and zoonotic/wet market origin theories (only one of which can be the actual origin), including new elaboration of details about infections at Wuhan Institute of Virology that could have started the pandemic:
> Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Zhu Yan, three gain-of-function coronavirus researchers at WIV, became severely ill with COVID-like symptoms in the second week of November 2019 and sought hospital care.

The article is ultimately agnostic about the truth and concludes:
> the origins question has broken down into a pair of rival theories that don’t—and can’t—ever fully interact. They’re based on different sorts of evidence, with different standards for evaluation and debate. Each story may be accruing new details—fresh intelligence about the goings-on at WIV, for example, or fresh genomic data from the market—but these are only filling out a picture that will never be complete. The two narratives have been moving forward on different tracks. Neither one is getting to its destination.
Good point.

I, and I suspect many others, would still pay $40K for a specialty base model which would only cost $30K if it sold in mass-market quantities.

Large companies in oligopolic positions won't try to produce those sorts of products, because it's risky and they have no reason to innovate or seek untapped markets.

It feels like it would be possible if we could incentivize competition and disincentive consolidation, though. Not just in the auto market, either.
Except we're not talking about loading something big like Photoshop. We're talking about starting the modern versions of system Notepad or Calculator.

The big stuff like Photoshop loads roughly as long as it did before. This is a good indicator of how bad most software is - if applications like Photoshop followed the same performance/feature curve, they'd take hours to start.
> It's that the code can show where the people are broken in ways that they themselves do not understand.

Sorry, but I really don't understand how that's the case. Can you give a concrete example? I know you gave an example in the essay, but you didn't go into the specifics and you explicitly said its details don't matter and the reader shouldn't look at them closely.
I've been messing around with a hobby OS that's adjacent to unikernels for a while now. Once I'm done enough, I plan to benchmark running my application+OS vs running my application as PID 1 in a mainstream OS. I imagine, if I'm lucky, performance will be similar, although chances are, the mainstream OS will be significantly better, and development time for application as PID 1 will be less than a month vs I've been tooling around for 3 years at this point (only really focused for a few months, though)

Most applications lack the introspection to be really operable in a unikernel situation too, so then you're looking at unikernel with extras for administration vs minimal mainstream OS with a small set of administrative tools, and that's an easy win for the mainstream OS.
You're expecting far too much from the generation. It doesn't even know what a centaur is. I don't think it's been trained exhaustively on fantastic creatures.
> once they get out they should still rust in some relatively short period of time

Nanoparticles of iron oxide are already rust.

There is certainly some inorganic phenomenon that will turn it into normal, aggregated rust. It probably requires water and some time.

But those particles sound like the kind of thing that will stay for years on the atmosphere, and contaminate every living thing. And yeah, they are probably safe in some surprisingly large amount, so whatever direction it goes, we will only know after we start doing it.
Case in point, I’ve driven my desktop computer up to 600 watts and mostly it just puts out a warm stream of air silently.

I'm a bit confused about that. I have heard of but haven't really tried Obsidian. How does what you're describing differs from so-called "Markdown shortcuts" (implemented in my editor and other popular ones like Notion)? You can type in most inline markdown and it's automatically converted to WYSIWYG-styled text. All these shortcuts are described here: https://docs.vrite.io/content-editor

How does it differ from Obsidian? Out of curiosity.
How about a "Deep dive" into pricing already. My sinking suspicion is they're intentionally holding back pricing as long as possible, as revealing how expensive this thing is going to be would cause the wheels to fall off the hype-train somewhat.
Huh, I think it would? It's still really bad, the quality of the service the client got is still abysmal, and it's still ultimately the lawyer's responsibility. That much is certainly unchanged, it would also be considered a much more understandable mistake.

> For most users, the opposite is true. They understand WYSIWYG well and that is how most things work.

Most users know how to muddle through with WYSIWYG, but they also lack experience with actually reliable editing environments. So they just take for granted all of the fighting they have to do with the semi-hidden state of the WYSIWYG editor.

99% of WYSIWYG users also fail to use their word processors correctly even on the terms of those word processors themselves. They most often totally eschew templates and page/paragraph/character styles in favor of manual formatting changes that all individually 'look right', turning all sizeable documents into unmanageable messes when it comes to consistency or formatting changes. It would be generous to describe this norm as actual proficiency, especially in a professional context.

Moreover, it's clear that the WYSIWYG paradigm itself is what invites this widespread incompetency and poor document quality. Why manage things in a systematic, organized, or efficient way when you can watch the document take shape before your eyes by highlighting individual words and manipulating their appearance or padding things with spaces, without having to give a thought to the structure of your document in advance?

> Markdown seems an nice, limited format that would make for a nicer, saner WYSIWYG for developers (except the inline HTML part of the spec).

WYSIWYG is not in fact less buggy with Markdown, as can be witnessed in the unholy WYSIWYG-Markdown unions of, e.g., Teams and Slack. You still inevitably end up fighting the system just to get your cursor to stop adding text with that formatting, or to escape that quote box, or whatever.
Isn't he trying to make a stand against the silliness that Red Hat is doing?
Every version of ChatGPT that I have used, going back to the beginning of January 2023, has had a disclaimer appear when you first load up the page that specifically tells you, "May occasionally generate incorrect information."

This is why the law firm's contention that they were acting in good faith is laughable.

When the tool itself shows a prominent disclaimer that it "May occasionally generate incorrect information," then the law firm can't reasonably argue that "We made a good-faith mistake in failing to believe that a piece of technology could be making up cases out of whole cloth."

It was either gross negligence or intentional malfeasance.

The most interesting thing to me is why the firm is continuing to try to excuse its actions, rather than taking full responsibility for them. I guess they assume that the classic Shaggy "It Wasn't Me" defense is less likely to lose them business, because they think so little of the clients they're trying to attract that they're wagering they'll buy it.

"Europeans" thought it was "primitive", universally? Or some white person somewhere in the annals of time wrote down that opinion once?

What's bizarre is that in spite of that non-sequitur, fire suppression was mandated by the very first session of the California Legislature in 1850. This isn't some ancient technique we're only just now rediscovering. It's been well-established practice for over a century, only recently eschewed in favor of assuaging irrational environmentalists.

The bank wouldn't've gone under when it did without a bank run. This doesn't mean that the bank would've never failed.

The bank was literally (pre-run) trying to raise cash; they already didn't have enough cash before people tried to withdrawal 40B! If your bank is insolvent and trying to raise money; it's incredible rational to withdrawal your money before it collapses.
It's an interesting thought but GitHub specifically has absolutely no reason to want this; doubly so after the Microsoft acquisition. Sourcehut, Gitea.io, and Codeberg would be the places to start.
AI Restrictions Reinforce Abusive User Behavior
Incentives are misaligned here. Regardless of reporting, YouTube will likely continue to prioritize engaging title/thumbnail combinations because they prioritize engagement.

A third-party database that provides descriptive titles does not have this incentive, but instead benefits from being qualitatively distinct from the OG YouTube experience. (Otherwise, why would people use the extension?)
i'm not convinced boeing is price-gouging here. how many customers are there for this trash can? in 2020 the pentagon bought four of them. if nobody else bought any, and boeing had to set up a production line just to make four of them, there's a real possibility that process actually costs something on the order of $200k once you factor in the time of all the people who had to be part of that decision-making process, testing it meets specs, procurement of materials to meet the spec of a ten-year-old production, etc.

the air force has machinists and qualified people who can repair their old planes, so presumably if this was just something you could bang together out of sheet metal they would have.

Iceland has absurd amounts of spare energy. So they bring in ships full of bauxite and refine it into aluminum blocks then load it back on the ship. Aluminum is refined by electrolysis, so it’s a perfect way to export their excess electricity.

> Again, accidents happen, but if you are the catalyst over and over again it's on you.

Technically, it "is on" whoever objectively plays a role in the underlying causality.

You "may" be referring to your perception of what is going on, as opposed to what is actually going on (which is unreachable).

>> This seems objectively reductive and represents ideological beliefs as objective facts.

Except I have the ability to describe the various ways in which it is (at least plausibly) objectively reductive and represents ideological beliefs as objective facts, whereas you have a much harder problem: proving that you can actually read my mind (or, are omniscient).

With ferrocyanide in particular ([Fe(CN)6]4−), the reason cyanide (CN-) is such bad news is also the reason it's safe complexed to iron: Iron-Cyanide coordination is very strongly favored by thermodynamics and kinetics, so it likes to stick to iron, sticks very quickly, and un-sticks itself very slowly. When cyanide is not already coordinated to iron, it coordinates to the iron in hemoglobin (+ COX enzymes in mitochondria, and other less immediately important enzymes) and makes them not work, basically forever. But when CN- is already stuck coordinated to free iron, it doesn't really fall off enough to stick itself to enzymes in any meaningful amount. It would be more of a problem if CN- accumulated, but it's metabolized and excreted quickly enough to not be a big deal. The LD50 values basically reflect this.
vimium / vimium-ff
No - you'll have to ask the commenter a few notches above about that. I was referring the general distinction between the terms. In general - just because a phrase is easily understood doesn't mean it is idiomatically correct or natural-sounding to a native speaker.

As to the phrase itself: from my limited knowledge of the language, it does sound to be very close to correct -- so I'd be curious also as to what the sticking point is.
if there's no evidence of it being harmful, why has it's use mostly been stopped? Why did the UNEP consider banning it, specifically to reduce mercury exposure? Why do they label it with a skull and crossbones?

I don't really care if it's the least toxic of the possible alternatives, it's still toxic and shouldn't be ingested in any way.

They imply, without directly stating, that because it's cleared from the human brain (they believe but don't know for sure, they tested on monkeys but not humans of course) faster than it's sibling compound, Methylmercury, that it's simply safe to ingest. However, it also states that ethylmercury breaks down into inorganic mercury, which is both toxic, and has a half-life of AT LEAST 120 days. So you end up with inorganic mercury in your brain and it may stay there for years.

The wiki page literally states in plain English that health organizations have considered banning it, but it would just cost too much damn money. That's not science, that's something else.

Edit: "...because it sounds bad and someone once told you mercury is bad." Mercury is bad for you and there's literally no question about it. Here's the first result from google: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/epidemiology-fact-...

You keep acting like I'm some kinda of science denier but I'm literally reading the wiki page YOU linked, and it says it's extremely toxic, in multiple ways. If anyone is sticking there head in the sand, it's you.

Second edit: To address your confident statement of "NO" to your own questions: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3096006/

"Acute or chronic mercury exposure can cause adverse effects during any period of development. Mercury is a highly toxic element; there is no known safe level of exposure."
You're so confident that "there's no evidence" it's bad for you, and you're just plain wrong. You accuse me of simply receiving my opinions/beliefs with no evidence and it's looking more and more that it's the other way around. Looking forward to more condescending yet horribly wrong and uninformed responses from you.
