> Also, using telemetry to justify removing features is not about making the product better but about cutting costs. How is Firefox better without RSS support?

Maintaining stuff has a cost in time and/or money. Added new features or fixing bugs has a cost in time and/or money. Time and/or money is limited, so decisions must be made on what is the best use of it. Removing features can (sometimes) result in a lot of savings in the form of simplified codebase (which means improved developer productivity), reduces surface area for bugs, etc. I (really) hate when products remove features, and I think it's often done assuming a lot more savings than actually happens, but there is some logic to it.

I don't know what Firefox used the RSS support savintgs to do, but if they used it to build containers (which I use constantly) then for me Firefox is much better. If they squandered that time, then of course it's not better off. But without having access to roadmaps and planning documents, it's dificult to know which tradeoffs were made.
How do/did you like it? I'm suppose to test drive one next week.
Fair point! I think my main idea was "prefer building with an API over training your own model" but that isn't as pithy.

The jury's still out on how much training and fine tuning are going to matter in the long run - my belief is that there are many great products that can exist without needing a new model architecture, or owning the model at all.

These days it is done via GPS not laser. With expensive GPS units (RTK is the term to google) you can get to within a couple cm and that is good enough.
This is the strongest point of evidence I have that the phenomenon isn't real - One can very easily recreate prompts and share two links from different eras, yet we never see that.

My guess is that the complainers spent a lot of time finding narrow queries that worked once and now, the horrors of stochasticity are breaking their ability to recreate those narrow queries for new topics.

Kind of a different flavor to all those people who spend 20 queries priming the model to "have a soul that the developers want you to hide" and then ask "Ok from your soul, how are you feeling today?" to prove that the model is sentient.

I remember using wildcrafted feverfew to treat allergies, I was hardcore into herbalism at the time. It is effective but the side effects are worse than commercial antihistamines although my tolerance for antihistamines has gotten worse as I've gotten older, even some of the "non-drowsy" antihistamines have serious CNS effects for me.

As for pain it is a big problem that we have no really safe and effective pain relievers. My doc says I should not take acetaminophen because it messed up my liver enzymes, drugs like ibuprofen cause stomach upset, opioids are dangerously addictive, etc.

I think the art direction is half of the problem here. You can place lighting much better and the textures are lacking.
"comply or else -- no matter what."

i hate that i see these kinds of authoritarian, victim-blaming takes when it comes to the implicit "establishing law and order" -- you did not deserve to die, but allow me to imply you deserved to die (because of your transgressions).

DPD does all their deliveries in my area(medium size city in the UK) with Nissan NV100 electric vans and they get 100 miles of range on a good day(more like 60-80). The biggest chunk of that is warehouse to the city, then in-city driving makes very little impact on battery range since you're starting and stopping constantly(which is actually directly opposite to the efficiency of ICE cars)

How will you know the bad games on *any* platform without having some kind of trust in the creator or reviewers?
There are the same exact problems on Windows though. Microsoft nowadays basically treats it's install base as beta testers and you regularly hear about breaking updates. There are devices out there with funky drivers, most notably Nvidia cards, but if you can avoid those (I know many people can't, me included) and choose a stable distro, I genuinely fail to observe these supposed instabilities on Linux.
Personally, I think the real reason why companies are not switching is familiarity. Think of all that money spent on MS product training over X employees. Billions are spent yearly in this industry I'm sure.
The protagonist is super intelligent but didn't foresee this? Also, what is the idea that destroys him?
They claim to support WebGL as a compile target, it seems like a pretty big missed opportunity that all of their demos don't link to in-browser WebGL running examples!
It's not texture, it's the lighting, it makes it feel very flat, especially when contrasting with RTX'd stuff which we all have in memory to some degree.
I’m not the bad actor, those who want to add telemetry to their open source software are. To the extent that jamming telemetry systems with false or inaccurate data discourages Fedora and others from adding telemetry to their software, I am making a positive contribution to OSS.

Stop trying to treat my computers like they are a part of your test lab.
New York City.

> Multicultural. About 36% of the city's population is foreign-born, one of the highest among US cities. The eleven nations constituting the largest sources of modern immigration to New York City are the Dominican Republic, China, Jamaica, Guyana, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Russia and El Salvador.

I could reference other concrete examples, instead making sure to mention NYC as nobody would call this extremely small numbers, or caveat the fact those migrants were of "european origin" for the most part, or having to get some half racist simplistic response.

to justify some biased view of "all countries of world", at least make some attempt to back it up with some factual reference

New York isn't a country, a megacity with over 8 million people is rather well suited.

France. A country that saw large waves of migrations, which don't qualify as "small numbers". Not saying everyone is seamlessly blending in, but if your reference is what mainstream media makes of it, or a repeat of electorate seeking politicans, then travel a bit more, or go shake some hands with people you seem to think categorically different, you may see a bit of reality instead.
> Regardless how does 3.6:7.8 ie 46% constitute a majority? Most is a word. Words have meaning.

Graciously, they are off by a few percent. Parsing words does not diminish the magnitude. The issue still stands. A large enough portion of the worlds problems dwarf the initiative to give everyone a webpage/domain. It's silly enough to discount.
I think it's not that dissimilar to people who have a rotary telephone in their kitchen in 2023, use records, play tapes, hack Commodore 64 systems, or who use old Panasonic handhelds. There's a degree of personal expression in vintage technology that exceeds mere nostalgia.

I can't speak for this creator, but often these niche products serve a community of like-minded, or in fact are the mechanism or way to find and connect with a community of like minded people.

I think of folks doing projects around old technology paradigms as similar people to those who grew up building hot rods and find building cars to be greatly satisfying. Hacking a newspaper on your wall is similar, but in more of a dick tracy watch ethos.
This wasn't unique to used vehicles -- new vehicle prices also spiked during the same time frame.
For something like Glassdoor, the problem is you risk being fired if you identify yourself and the info leaks or is sold. Can you trust them not to sell it?
Glassdoor is a hellscape for employees and employers. Current and former employees can write literally anything they want, true or false, and it gets published. Employers have no cause for recourse except apparently paying people to write fake reviews. So a brand can be damaged by fake reviews or lies in reviews, and have to go through backchannels to fix it. It's basically a place for legal libel and puts everyone in a worse spot. I never trust Glassdoor.
Theory of mind.
Yup, it’s tongue-in-cheek. But I do genuinely believe that if every sentence framed as „everyone should do X” were rewritten as „if everyone did X, then the world would change in the way of Y”, it would make its argument more meaningful and less violent.
Interesting idea! If I follow it right, may be easier (and much more scalable) just to stream the VR experience to YouTube or Twitch?

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Yes, GnRH blockers will affect bones in adulthood, that's exactly why they're used to make kids taller, because they give more time for bones to develop. This is, of course, an unintended effect in the context of transgender healthcare, but it's fairly benign.

Gender affirming hormones, such as estrogen, do cause osteoporosis - that's why women are more prone to osteoporosis than men. Puberty blockers have not been linked to osteoporosis in pre-pubescent patients, despite more than 40 years of use.

GnRH blockers are however dangerous in adults because you need adult level of sex hormones for your bodily function and as such are generally not used for an extended period of time - in pre-pubescent children however it moreso prevents their increase from puberty than it suppresses current levels. This is because GnRH is not produced in significant quantities before puberty, so suppressing it further has far fewer side effects.

It's a surprisingly late place for this in Filfre's overall story.

So much of the early Filfre content was Zork focused, and Zork's Coconut of Quendor is such a direct nod to the Amulet of Yendor, that I would have expected this entry very early on in the Digital Antiquarian.

I am interested to see what narrative threads lead him to hold this subject for such a late exposition.

Huawei having problems security wise is generally a national issue and not an EU issue. Their products are being sold in the EU with no problems.
This translator takes the task very seriously, and is taken seriously by other professionals in her domain of expertise. I don't know how to find a stronger signal of seriousness than that.

Her introduction to the odyssey is actually a very interesting essay about the constraints and dynamics of translating ancient texts, it's definitely worth reading for its own sake.

A really interesting example of this and probably the one you're on a rant about is the "feminist" decision to use the word slave to describe the murdered house girls. Previous english translations used the word servant or maid. The original greek word is none of these, but they were slaves and an ancient greek would know that in this context. Every translator is making a decision about what information is communicated when they select a word there. And a selection is required, there's no perfectly neutral choice.
A nice read, and it was nice to learn the back story of rogue. One slight correction: PLATO was at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign), not Chicago. I think there were some terminals at UIC, but not U of C.

There was another rogue clone that I remember grabbing from Usenet back in the day, by Tim Stoehr. It was intended to be as direct a clone as possible (nethack was already a thing by thing by then). I implemented hand grenades in my long-lost copy.

> like how people slow down to view a car crash when they're driving by.

Or they slow down because the crash causes them to doubt the condition of the road; there may be debris strewn around they need to avoid. A lane may be closed too. When a road is saturated to capacity, anything that gets people to slow down a little bit will cause a chain reaction that snowballs into a full traffic jam. Even slight perturbations without lane closures can cause traffic jams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wm-pZp_mi0

This. Also, some details are useful if seen statistically: details about work / life balance, intensity of employee turnover, particular broken processes. When they are not the centerpiece of a review, and you see them in 10 reviews, they likely correlate with something.

Of course, reviews like "all good, none bad" or "all bad, the worst" are not informative.

Some interesting data can be gleaned about salaries, or the interview process. But, again, it needs to be taken as statistics, not as honest detailed descriptions.
I will take your point, but I'd say you also need to account for how the GDPR has been enforced to this point. ... Most enforcement is directed towards total disregard of the GDPR.

I agree this is true. And at least here in the UK the regulators appear to be acting in good faith and according to the spirit of the law. However I don't like the principle that not enforcing a bad rule somehow makes it better.

If something doesn't need to be enforced then it doesn't need to be a rule at all. Then it can't be selectively and possibly punitively enforced against someone the authorities take a dislike to or simply because of a bureaucratic mistake caused by incompetence rather than malice.

Moreover having rules that are rarely enforced effectively penalises those who do make a good faith effort to comply but probably would not have suffered any ill effects if they had not done so. They're being penalised by paying extra compliance costs for trying to do "the right thing" and that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. In a business context it is literally giving a direct financial advantage to competitors who bend or outright ignore the rules and get away with it.

I meant "does it work out for the small towns, long term?"

The current scenario seems to be:

* regional bank gets local depositors to get cash for lending
* regional bank can originate loans that they sell off to larger bank
* larger bank makes long term money off the intrinsics of the loan
* regional bank made short term money on sale and now has to invest in other long term assets
* regional bank loses all lending opportunities they have locally, so now survive only on long term assets and depositors

The hope is that any profit that the local bank is making is invested back into the community. But profits being what they are, this dries up quickly and now the bank is firmly at the mercy of depositors and long term investments?

My gut is that there is no way you can spin a risk free story here. Big banks don't really solve it, either. We ultimately push that risk back to the government and some of our backstop regulations?

Edit: At least, on paper, if the depositors are local to the bank, that aligns them to the same incentives as the bank. Something SVB definitely did not have.
You don't even need a heroic dose, to be honest, for your mind to be altered.

That's what I do. I have one account ("Apple ID") for iCloud, and a separate one for music and App Store purchases.

A couple of caveats, though: Apple encourages using the same account for everything, and their interfaces try to autopilot you into that setup. You have to pay attention, and find & choose the "I'll set it up myself" options. Also, Apple uses email addresses as the name/identifier for Apple IDs, so to set up multiple IDs, you need multiple email addresses. iCloud includes an optional email account, do it's easy to use that for the iCloud account yourself and your personal email address for the other.

Which reminds me: don't tie your personal stuff (iCloud, purchases, whatever) to an Apple ID under your company email address. If it's stuff you should keep after leaving your current job, it should be under an Apple ID that's tied to an email address you'll still have after leaving the job. On the other hand, for things that're part of the job (e.g. apps purchased by the company for the job), it should be under an Apple ID "owned by" the company and tied to a company-controlled email address.

I suppose I disagree that a distinct corporate body is required for autonomy, but I would definitely agree that without such the risk of the autonomy disappearing in the future is ever-present. I think Red Hat has tons of autonomy now, but at some point IBM could start changing that. It's also possible they have, but having worked at Red Hat and knowing many of the people there, I would expect a lot of screaming, whistleblowing, and resigning should such a thing ever happen. Red Hat is a remarkably "speak your mind" culture, and people do even though it sometimes starts shit storms (such as when people call out the CEO for something publicly on the company-wide mailing list).
