The most important thing that I've learned from Stallman is that "craft a story - don't worry how convoluted it might appear - where corporations take actions in order to benefit themselves at the cost of everyone else" is a good heuristic to predict the future in a capitalistic society.

To be clear, this isn't criticism of capitalism. Capitalism has good things and bad things, and I have faith that we can keep the good things and mitigate the bad things. Instead the point of my comment is to highlight how some times our intuition starts moving in the right direction but we stop it because "come on that's too far fetched, they'd never do that".

Yes, of course Stallman was right.
>keeps ban on LLM-generated content.

How is this being enforced? It's either bots banning bots in a digital game of whack-a-mole; or humans arbitrarily trying to asses whether something has been written by an LLM or a human.
> The CRA aims to force projects to report vulnerabilities to an EU institution within a matter of "hours", which contradicts industry practices and may have severe unintended effects.

The EU is a much bigger user of open source, as are academic establishments and some 3rd world countries, I dont see any harm in reporting a vuln to a EU institute because the coders wont always know where their code is being used.

And because they wont know where their code is being used, they wont know the impact it could have to wider society, so I'm in full agreement with this, provided the EU institute is competent enough in the first place to handle this.

But the next questions becomes, how will we know that such a vuln is not used for nefarious purposes?

Can the EU institute be trusted, or is this legislation designed to obtain zero days without having to go on the dark web and purchase them for enormous cost because there are typically little to no bug bounty's with open source.
I'm German. Here's a better translation: "A sentence with X: That evidently didn't work." The "sentence with X" part hinges on the alternative spelling of "nichts" (nothing) as "nix".
On our university lab, the main reason why most of the savy users would have "xhost -" on their login scripts would be to avoid being shown not so convenient images at the wrong times.
So the concern is not that x->-inf due to values but it happens due to numerical issues arising out of lower precision?
Carpentry, cabinet making, building a house, are not very precise. And they can be quite varied in terms of exactly what sinks and stoves and other fittings are wanted where. It wouldn't be feasible to get exact measurements, send them to the factory, and then get back a precisely fitting top. At least not in remodels and one-off custom builds.

In my mind this is a holdover from when Python was much more procedural/C-like and as a Python developer it's one of my pet peeves. (I can't count how many times I've started writing the name of a list, had to backtrack to stick a `len` in front, and then tap tap tap arrow keys to get back to the front.)

I suppose we really ought to blame Euler for introducing the f(x) notation 300 years ago... Very practical when the function is the entity you want to focus on, often less useful in (procedural) programming, where we typically start with the data and think in terms of a series of steps.

Some languages like D and Nim have "UFCS", uniform function call syntax, where all functions can be called as methods on any variable. Basically, it decouples the implicit association between method dispatch and namespacing/scoping semantics. Rust also has something they call UFCS, but it only goes one way (you can desugar methods as normal functions, but you can't ... resugar? arbitrary functions as methods). Python couldn't implement this without breaking a lot of stuff due to its semantics, but it is definitely a feature I'd like to see more of.

> From what I can see, the webpage needs to return the token to the server before it decides to respond [1]. True that proposal doesn't say if the server should respond or not. But the mere possibility that the server can deny a response based on the token (or its absence) means that it will be used. How is this not DRM? And how is this not dangerous to the open web?

This could definitely be risky for the open web, and that's an argument to put forward [1]. In my book this is not a blocker for being able to discuss any of this. (but could be a blocker for shipping this proposal without proper mitigation)

At the same time, I perceive DRM as a way to control access and ability to copy copyrighted material. I couldn't find anything in this proposal that enabled any of that.

Depends a bit on where you are. In France it's definitely a thing if you live outside of the major cities. In the Netherlands, active government intervention stopped these car-only hypermarkets ("weidemarkten").

As someone who spends a good amount of time on iracing, what annoys me most about VR not taking off more is the lack of improvements in VR headsets. We just get more high-end stuff like the Varjo Aero, Bigscreen Beyond or Pimax Crystal, but since the release of the HP Reverb G2 there haven't been any sensibly priced options anymore.

And things like the Quest or Pico are just pretty rubbish for PCVR (compression, dealing with flimsy USB C connectors, Oculus software etc.).

This whole situation just shows as a lie everything we hear about SEO. Stack Overflow has the exact text, it loads incredibly fast (should be commended more for this), doesn't require ten meg of Javascript to render as far as I know generally meets HTML standards.

These scam sites load megabytes of junk, load slowly, have text interpersed with ads and modals that render right on top of them, if you open devtools you'll often see pages of warnings about deprecations and/or invalid html, and despite having the same scraped text always score higher on Google.

> would you choose Stack Overflow, or PythonIsSuperFun.com

I would choose first result - people are lazy. The problem comes and goes but it is true, spam sites, with content copied from SO, are ranking higher than SO itself. And it is often hard to tell you are viewing a copy on first glance, the layouts are usually more like a forum.
People just skip that part. The flow is: read title, skim code example, post answer.

Then you point out that they completely disregarded what you wrote and blame you for misdirecting them. Then you get the downvotes.

The SO way.
Yes, in this case we would work with you to write the specifications.

> keep it strong

My theory is that he is desperate. He was forced to buy it. The interest from his loans to buy Twitter are estimated at a billion a year - and now interest rates are high so he can’t swap them for cheaper loans. That’s not an insignificant amount of money even for someone like him.

Thus his cutting cost to the bone, even refusing to play bills/rent for as long as possible, and all the harebrained ideas about what to do with Twitter - clearly staying the course is not acceptable since Twitter turned a profit I think only twice in its entire existence; both times where during the pandemic.

It's always hard to compare across different tech levels. If you're talking about 19th century Comanches, they have the advantage of having access to rifles.

Without that, I think the Mongols would easily win. They had a huge army that rapidly conquered the largest contiguous land empire ever. They had powerful bows, better armour, very effective tactics, but they were also excellent at sieges. Every country they conquered, they assimilated the best ideas and technology they had, which made them able to shift to very different types of warfare. They were capable of strategic maneuvering on a scale that wouldn't be seen again until WW2.

Their weakness was primarily in their rules for succession. If the death of a leader requires you to abandon all campaigns and moving all generals to the capital, after which the empire still fragments into several pieces, that's a bit a of a problem.
The Quest headsets are standalone, only cost a few hundred dollars and are the most popular.

The question isn't looking to parse HTML (or XML). Regexes are inappropriate for HTML because they can't adequately match the starting and ending tags, not because of black magic. The OP isn't looking to do that, so regexes look like a perfectly acceptable way to go.
Yes but the right way should be the answer unless it is explicitly stated why they can't use this.

Most readers will be able to use the "right way".
> Israel used to have norms where the opposition had some balancing power.

Israel is a parliamentary democracy, and the power is vested with the majority of the parliament. As it is with any other parliamentary democracy, which is the preferred system across almost all of Europe. (We can add "parliamentary constitutional monarchies" where the monarch does not have any real power to that list.)

I also don't see what "balancing power" had any opposition have in the past. The coalition (majority) tries to advance some issues while the opposition (minority) tries to torpedo them. It has always been that way, there is absolutely nothing new here.
Very interesting thoughts.

We're verifying code.

The idea here is not to close massive contracts with govts or SpaceX, but work on far smaller projects—even potentially open source ones—where there is an interest in correctness.

And those people can look for questions where the "right way" is justifiably unusable, or pose those questions themselves (and find out if they really have to avoid it.)

Because you're answering every person who ever will ask, a lot of the people who pass through your question & answer will be people who don't know the difference between the right way and the wrong way. If they want to know how to do something the wrong way, because they don't know what the right way is, an answer that simply tells them how is a bad resource.

It's not enough to tag caveats onto such dangerous answers, because people can't read. Instead, newbies should have to overcome a sufficient amount of opposition to filter out those who don't know why they're doing what they want to do, and the rest can make the little effort of being very explicit about why they want to do something the wrong way.
I've noticed I haven't used stackoverflow that much, I've always been a lurker, but the answers have gotten less and less highlighted. Now instead I am nearly always in the github issues of the project I am working with.

Also ChatGPT has really been a big help, as for most basic questions I can just ask it and get a fair result. This is more tricky to do when searching on google.

I.e.

chatgpt: How do i sort a slice of structs in golang with an inner field of "Name"
Usually somewhat correct the first time.

google: golang sort slice struct (I hope to find a good answer, but I usually have to go through 1-3 pages

This is more documentation based, but this is also what stackoverflow did in the past quite well, that is answers to common questions for a language.

XML feeds are often generated by templating, rather than actual XML serialisation. The official Jekyll Feed plugin has this: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/blob/master/lib/jekyll...

She's gonna have to read a recipe and spend hours in the kitchen

You are missing the point. Something might take hours in the kitchen to make, but you don't need to have the entire thing on video. I don't need to see someone make all the shapes with the bread. I don't need to see them wait 45 minutes for something to cook.

Most recipes aren't hours long. Most of them are a list of ingredients and a few short paragraphs: Most online recipes reflect this as well.

And if someone is really unfamiliar, they can look up additional resources. "Best way to dice an onion" or "how to peel a tomato" both have plenty of videos.

I'm going to guess that it is the same for a berimbolo: You don't need to watch hours of someone else on a mat. You just need the instructions so that you can do the practice - just like you don't need to watch someone else practice an instrument, but you might be helped see how they play basic stuff.

Most STT systems also tend to still train on normalized text which is free of the punctuation and capitalization complexities and other content you find in text LLMs. I suspect we continue in this way in part due to lack of large scale resources for training, and due to quality issues - Whisper being an outlier here. Anecdotally 8bit quantization of larger pre-normalized STT models seems to not suffer the same degradation you see with LLMs but I can't speak to whether that's due to this issue.

Then some statistics shouldn’t be hard to find.

I can’t find anything stating this is “very common”. I guess as a rough metric for “very common” let’s say on a similar level to heart attacks. Quite rare still but common enough that you could be justified in calling it very common.

So 850,000 cases per year.

It's nonsense but your first two sentences are nonsense. Elon Musk never demonstrated any genuine interest in "free speech". There never was any reason to believe this is an ideological core value to him. He always clearly just wanted crowds to cheer for him.

It's also not at all a burden for your PR to be diametrically opposed to your actions, especially if your actions are seen as bad. Absolutist regimes love portraying themselves as the victims because it gives them a moral justification (no matter how flimsy). And "free speech absolutists" are a great example given how many people publicly adopt that stance but then use it to justify shutting down their opposition for being "against free speech".

The reason people are creating nonsensical conspiracy theories about the Twitter buyout is that they want to believe there's a rhyme and reason to the madness, the same way they created nonsensical conspiracy theories following 9/11 because it meant that the US was in control after all and not actually (figuratively) brought to its knees by a handful of foreigners with box cutters.

The truth is that Elon Musk shitposted his way into being forced to follow through on an acquisition he never really wanted, used his business connections to coordinate a hamfisted leveraged buyout and got too high on his own supply after being the dog that caught the car. Now he's stuck in a midlife crisis trying to relive the failure that was his involvement in X.com but without Peter Thiel being able to stop him.
