Same here. Sadly, my dad is beginning to lose sight in both eyes now and has trouble operating essential websites (e.g. his bank's webpages). Does anyone know of browser extensions that enable a high-level voice command language? I'm thinking commands like:

* "Open Bank of America"

* "Login with saved password"

* "What's my savings bank balance?"

Yeah, I know it's fraught with security challenges and is likely acceptable only if using local models. Still, anything out there?
I am personally ok with someone believing in astrology provided they are aware that it is hooey. It's fine to want some magic in the world, and to choose to believe in something that is obvious nonsense for the fun of it.

I personally choose to believe in UFOs, remote viewing, ghosts, and all manner of omen, just because it makes the world feel a little more mysterious in my every day life.

Yes, there is plenty of rational magic in physics and materialism, but none that I can encounter on a dark camping trip, or staying in a spooky house.

Nonsense can be fun!

Yeah the abolition of slavery was a mistake. We shouldn't have tried to change people's minds about that.

We also should never have changed people's minds about smoking not being bad.

Just let people believe what they want to believe. Live and let live. Fully agree with you.
This looks so amateurish; they're running around the code, changing all references to 𝕩 but with no real brand thinking behind it. For example https://i.imgur.com/CxF6iri.png how does "𝕩" related to "Twitter" here? Am I still visiting Twitter? Is Twitter a product of 𝕩?

I rarely have the need, I use mullvad, and it works for those occasions. But I don’t need to circumvent any serious blocks, most of the time it’s just something being US-only or "not EU", and neither of those sites care much if you circumvent it.

Perhaps I was too snarky, but I also wanted to help change a perspective that it’s not just important what I experience but to check that against others.

I struggle with thinking “I don’t see it, so it must be so” and wish others would point this out more for me.

Also, I kind of like snarky as it is closer to authenticity, I think, than always saying “good job, did you think of it this way…”
Overall, the best strategy is to invest in everything. You get some winners and some losers. The winners increase your value and the losers vanish. Over time, you win.

SVG Chromium bug is more than 10 years old
The `<use>` element in SVG can target an external source and clone it into the shadow DOM. However, there is a bug that prevents it from copying certain elements resulting in an unexpected SVG.

One commenter puts it into perspective:

"How is this still not fixed 10 years later? This bug is now just as old as Voyager 1 leaving the solar system or Lana Del Rey debut album. We went through an entire Spider Man reboot cycle and 3 James Bond movies. A whole generation of consoles came and passed by with PlayStation 4 being both released and superseded by PlayStation 5 while this bug was open. This bug is older than Grand Theft Auto 5. We live in a whole different world now, especially considering the pace web is developing and we STILL cannot store an icon with a gradient in an external SVG sheet."

Only for that style of machine, I think (not entirely sure what you mean). Flatbed or large format (paper drapes down each side and gets moved back and forth) plotters don't have that requirement. My A2 flatbed holds the paper in place electrostatically, and nothing can move once that's switched on; you position it where you want and press a button, then smooth it down. The Axidraw style plotters seem quite limited in comparison (and the cheap ones very imprecise).
The only thing Twitter has ever had going for it is its brand. The rebranding is weird and indicative of an obsession on Musk's part, but everyone needs to stop pretending that Twitter was anything more than that brand, which could disappear at any moment. It was a financial black hole propped up by frankly stupid amounts of capital injection, made briefly profitable by the black swan of Trump hysteria. I have yet to hear a plan for Twitter less stupid than the one currently being executed by Musk.

The value might not be in the ability of the model to correctly classify people but in it's ability to generate discussions about the classification.

"I'm a Gemini which fits because I am X but unlike most Gemini I like Y" tells you X and Y about someone.

Saying "Gemini and Aeries shouldn't date because of..." isn't necessarily a conversation about whether any given individuals should date. It may instead actually be a conversation about whether people who conform to certain sets of traits should date.
>And yet they are incentive that every teacher knows warps learning; students become more concerned with maximizing a number than they do with the learning itself. Is the incentive really worth it, especially when we could be using other more powerful incentives for learning, such as students’ intrinsic interests and life goals? I don’t think so. When I design classes, I try to design assessements that are closely aligned with student interests and goals to avoid this warping of motivations, but the effect is still there.

And yet, only in 2019 it jumped from animal to humans. There were other human coronaviruses before of course. But as far as we can tell, this specific one did not make the jump in all the years before. The reason is, as with all zoonoses, it takes close proximity to the animal, lucky mutations, and conditions for subsequent spreading to turn into a pandemic.

Pandemics are not at all inevitable. My point is we are inadvertently creating the conditions that allow diseases like this to spread in the first place.

The article seems to confuse optimism with thinking everything is good. I think many people do.

Thinking everything is good means not having a reason to improve anything. Just eat some lotus, dude, it's okay . . .

Optimism, on the other hand, is the belief in improvement. To improve is to accept and to signal that we are not in the best of all possible worlds so that we can work toward improvement.
It’s a good point but it’s not equal.

Myers Briggs is nice a framework. You can just look at the axes of personality and use them to structure a claim about where you land. The test is not the important bit. I think many people have not considered the dimensions of personality that it proposes.

Astrology not so much. You can’t describe yourself as a linear combination of different signs or at least, you’re not meant to and borrowing from traits that are not your supposed sign is antithetical to the whole premise

Abortion was not illegal in the US when the constitution was written... not even until the AMA formed in 1847 and shortly thereafter started pushing for criminalization. The process was slow at first.

After the civil war many people became concerned that white women would get abortions and be outbred by the blacks. By 1910 it was illegal in every state.

I think it's interesting that this history has been forgotten.
Many of Musk's plans for Twitter appear to been formulated after the fact.

Twitter was first going to be a safe harbour for free speech. Then it was going to the launch site for De Santis' presidential campaign (ignoring the irony of championing politicians who can't sign censorious bills fast enough).

Now it'll be a payment platform? People don't want to come to Twitter to spend money, it's reality TV for the internet -- nobody's paying for that. It would be like purchasing a sports team, and setting up a credit card signup booth at the stadium.
He hasn't "allowed free speech", he's just been more forgiving of some free speech and less forgiving of others, for political reasons. Actually, very free people want absolute free speech on a social media platform because we don't want 4chan, we want a place we can talk to friends and family.
You really don't need dependent types to do the printf thing, any language with GADTs or equivalent typing functionality can do it, see for instance OCaml's Printf module. Although you do need a little bit of magic from the compiler to get that exact syntax, which you can get rid of with dependent types.
I'm an atheist but wouldn't mind seeing a religion based on Jesus' teachings flourish. I think most people are dumb and need something/someone to encourage them to act rationally and civilly.

<< Elon expects people to pay £100 a year for a social media site in the midst of a Cost of Living crisis.

Honestly, this may be one of the good things he did. The entire population has gotten way too comfortable with free and it would be ideal if we could get away from this model.
There's a weird underhand rhetorical trick going on in this argument. The author presents an example of cockatoos exhibiting complex goal-driven behaviour. He notes that it can be explained by their having a basic mental model. He then argues that there's a problem with this explanation because it doesn't apply to the behaviour of simple organisms like plants.

I cannot see what the problem is at all. Some species have evolved complex neurological models to navigate the world. Other species have a somewhat less complex system of chemicals, hormones and electrical impulses. In both cases, the system has evolved to adapt to the environment.

It's kind of like the author is saying "I really want there to be a Theory of Agency to explain biology. But it won't work if we just stick with natural selection. So there must be something more!"
Plot twist: Elon realized how harmful twitter is to the society and decided to destroy it.
The human brain is capable of incredible gymnastics, ain’t it
The conditioned response that you're talking about is typical in a culture where we're taught to trust in science. I'm not saying that anyone should believe in astrology (I don't), but having spent the last few years looking into a number of topics similarly treated as esoterica, my understanding is that we're often unaware that science as a discipline is not dogmatic in what is possible. But human bias is probably its weakest element. How it has historically impeded our ability to understand certain phenomena (and continues to do so today), combined with our amazing ability to forget how wrong we can be, has convinced me that being open minded is not just politeness, but an imperative for anyone who wants to truly understand what's going on.

Most of what we think we know as individuals is actually just a set of beliefs (often never tested) to which we heuristically assign some probability of truth. When you really start to dig yourself, you often discover that scientists, like any humans, are not immune to religiosity. They believe some thing is possible, or that some other thing is not. Those beliefs tend to color how the research is done. It also seeps into the culture of a society that has learned to so overly rely on "what the science says", that what it remains silent about is mistaken as untruths. Research must start with a hunch, a belief. But beliefs are often consensual and if the consensus is strong, it can be very difficult for a competing theory to hint at a possible different direction, even with supporting evidence. Our history books are full of examples. We set out to study a misunderstood phenomenon, but because there is a strong consensual belief that it must have certain properties, we approach our explorations with those premises as established truths. When we get stuck, we have to wait for an entire generation to die off to reorient the research (as Max Planck remarked).

Having observed the above in my own diggings into certain topics that (luckily) have some scientific documented intersects, I'm now reeducating myself to have less of the conditioned response of taking my own beliefs (e.g. astrology is probably BS) too seriously, when evaluating people's intelligence if they believe the opposite.
Insane decision
I'm sincerely interested in an example. Thanks in advance!
Yes. Basically i can't find any new websites anymore.
The top pages is always bullshit pages which served by ads.
This is actually a good idea, I'll try that, thanks :)

But, you know, it's still a bit more complicated than opening the browser's debug console and inspecting request and response in the networking tab.

Yeah you have operators, which are essentially the auth admins or orgs, however you'd like to look at it, then there are accounts which are an alias for "project name" and then you have users, which are "client name"s.
And that's fine for their infrastructure only.
The problem is, in the real world you have an external identity service (OIDC, IAM,...) and the JWT this service creates includes a subject, but the NATS auth system has no support for external bridges.
Also you have to decide, would you like to use operator/account/user or single JWT, or passphrase or manually managed user/password accounts?
In a professional world, you'd have various customer applications each divided by their operators, accounts and users. And then fine grained user capabilities.. headache time.

So what you have to do is distribute a default user certificate with a client (client meaning actual client in the client/server sense), then do the signin/sso process and have some middleware checking this token from the OIDC auth process and check is a user with this subject exists, if not, create a new user and cert and send that cert back to the client which will then create a new connection with the new certificate.

Very complicated.

The initial default client certificate is required for "logging in" via NATS.
I guess it could be a standalone program, the oidc to nats user mapper/manager.

So compared to HTTP/REST, more work involved.

"It’s not exactly rocket science to employ smart people."

To employ, no, but to get a stream of important innovations out of them, that might actually be harder than rocket science.

The vast majority of smart people around the world are stuck in mediocre jobs. Hotspots of technical productivity like Bell Labs or SpaceX or NASA of the 1960s are pretty rare and rarely last for more than approximately a generation.

How to get smart people to be actually scientifically productive is a major question of history.

An example: 100 years ago, several very important innovators like von Neumann were Hungarians; nowadays, Hungary is a scientific backwater. (With the exception of Katalin Karikó, the mRNA lady.)
