Firefox subreddit took part in that blackout nonsense when I was trying to find details about a flag; forget anything to do with Mozilla if they're for hiding information a whim; the API changes didn't even involve Mozilla in any manner

I was also a little irked at a bugzilla response about a request to allow importing local bookmark files on Firefox for Android asking who would would really use it. For real a privacy-respecting browser can't figure out why someone would want to not use their half-broken online sync? If Chromium had that, I'd have been off Firefox that same day.

i don’t think that’s a sensible reading or conclusion from OP’s comment.

indeed, your conclusion appears to desire the very thing OP was calling in to question without justification - the existence of that authority figure.

why do you think people should be told how to be? remember it’s more frequently been the law that has outlawed being gay, or say, more

People without shame are mentally unwell.
> Middle eastern and south Asian countries that shame people for pre-marital sex largely managed to avoid the AIDS epidemic

this is absurd, there are plenty of countries who have high levels of shame where aids is still running rampant. and to even imply that we (the us) didn’t have high levels of pre-marital sex in “the good old days when we could shame people” is naive to an extreme.

> let’s not forget that we live in a country that became a world power under a social structure that was much more rigid and repressive than the one we have today.

if you’re suggesting that i should intentionally live under rigid repression to “be a world power” i say nah, thanks tho. i’d rather we were a middling country where people are free and not living under some authoritarian religious kooks or whatever power would be repressing me “for my own good” because they have deluded themselves that they “know better than we do” what will make us happy.

It also makes a very valid point about human nature: we are resistant to acceptance of news that will change our worldview to the point that when presented with evidence of something new our first reaction seems to be to go into denial.

That's the only explanation for policy failures when you're right by definition.
If the justification for criminalizing a drug is its propensity to cause societal damage, then by far the most important drug to ban is alcohol. Heroin addiction may promote theft and property damage, but that doesn't even come close to the mayhem, permanent injury and death caused by drunk driving accidents (as well as the social service costs of managing our country's subpopulation of alcoholics).
Because alcohol remains legal, I believe less harmful drugs, including many if not all of the drugs decriminalized by Oregon, should be legal as well.

>> "I guess these things would all be prevented and/or prosecuted, rather than the drugs themselves"
I agree with this statement. Criminalizing hard drug use simply because it is associated with behaviour causing societal damage is not only inconsistent with the legality of alcohol use, it is also a slippery slope to justifying far more insidious laws. For example, a similar justification could be used to criminalize violent tv shows/movies/video games if the government believes consumption of such media is associated with societal harm.

The obvious solution is to simply criminalize the acts, such as theft and property damage, that actually harm others/society, rather than indirect upstream actions such as drug use. This "Oregon experiment" involves far more than just decriminalizing drug use, but also (effectively) decriminalizing many other domains of crime such as retail theft, daylight robbery, urban camping, property damage, etc. not unlike what we have here in SF.
It’s totally a selection bias: if someone is doing drugs but isn’t running around screaming half naked in the street having a fent crisis, you would hardly notice them would you? It is for the same reason that homelessness has been wrongly equivocated with drug addiction (you don’t notice the ones that aren’t shoplifting to support their habit or having a crisis on the street for one drug related reason or another).

Surely there are adults and kids doing this in their homes, and we usually don’t notice them until a tragedy occurs (eg a teenager tries fent for the first time…and they are dead).
I've been using it for 2 years (small, France based businesses) and never had any issue – though I've also heard some horror stories.
Patent for LK-99 Room Temp Superconductor – References to Salvatore Cezar Pais?
The Korean team that announced their room temperature superconductor, which other labs are now just proving to be a working concept, have put in a patent for their findings:
https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023027537A1/en

In that patent, they make references to a US Government patent by Salvatore Cezar Pais about his work on superconductors:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190058105A1/en

That guy - Dr Pais - has several US government patents.
https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Salvatore+Cezar+Pais

Is the inclusion of that reference meant to be some kind of red flag/trolling attempt? Or is there some weight behind his work? I recall these woo patents coming up a few years ago and then disappearing from the spotlight.
It's one thing to use toxic materials in water pipes, fuel or painting your walls with it.

It's completely different thing to use them in devices that are enclosed and that you never interact with directly, like motors, batteries, electronic components or wires. And in fact we're using lead in car batteries and it's not a problem.

BTW most heavy metals are toxic, including copper. It's just less readily absorbed and accumulated in our bodies.
Anything special other than the well-known Annus Mirabilis papers by Einstein?

To be honest, I was kinda underwhelmed when it said "involved some significant events, particularly in physics" but literally only listed Annus Mirabilis papers. It's of course probably the most important thing in the whole century, but I'd imagine more (quantitatively) for "events". (To make it clear, this is a criticism for the writing, not the year).

That doesn't mesh with the daily insights I gain from asking GPT-4 novel questions and receiving answers that integrate a much wider knowledge corpus that I have in my head.

I am talking about comparing multiple reports, i.e gross margin trends over 10 years and EV/TTM Ebitda etc across several reports. Currently only financials are possible, but the ratios depend on stock prices, so we are working on that !

You can think of it like this, you now have an army of readers that can go through tables really quickly.

FactSet, CapIQ etc use a combination of automation/manual entry and fit these tables into a homogenized schema so that they can be saved, compared etc. So if you want to get Apple's Greater China sales from 2020, you would be lucky if they decided to create an item for that. https://imgur.com/a/bp2hb7n

Here are two examples, AMD's revenues and AMD's revenue outlook using beatandraise.com
https://imgur.com/a/61jqiUk
I doubt you can get AMD's own outlook on CapIQ for e.g

Context sizes mean getting 100s of reports on one call is not possible, but multiple iterations will still do the trick. So in effect, you can actually create a dataset like FactSet for a lot lower cost, more comprehensive and can be customized to what the user wants, if you see my point... :)
Whenever this is mentioned, it is usually the top comment (like this one I mentioned recently [0]), which shows that many reader agree. Yet, nothing's been done on this easy change for 10+ years. @dang, can you at least give a reason, like "too lazy", "we don't agree", "we don't like changes".

>I think I just debunked your theory (sorry for that) but it's not shame.

You didn't. It is even somewhat irrelevant, as being shamed for sexual perversion is utterly unrelated to not being ashamed of using drugs.
I suspect Nim would be much, much harder to wrangle for games than Zig (or easily the best of the bunch: Odin) since it doesn't make enough things clear at all in terms of allocation and only allows indirect control of allocation and deallocation.

I wouldn't necessarily prefer Nim for any of the things you listed but this doesn't have the same argument as for games with Odin (which has great tools and libraries for making games as well as gives a much better overview of important things you'll have to care about for making them in terms of performance, etc.).

Rather, it's because I've found that Nim belongs with the other languages that think that complexity can be managed by being hidden well enough, which I've found is simply not the case when something actually needs to be debugged or you need to understand the behavior of the program.

Hiding/ignoring allocation errors, not making allocation explicit, not making deallocation explicit, etc., makes for a much worse time actually understanding what's going to happen. Adding tons of GC options like alternative GC implementations isn't going to fix it and this new one is really just another example of trying even harder to hide complexity.

I think the ultimate irony of these languages that have magical features like move semantics is that they do some of those things in the name of performance but in practice many of them are so complicated to write well-performing code in with these space technology features and non-obvious behavior that the end results are worse than much, much simpler languages. I've also found that these languages' development cycles (for the end user) isn't that much longer than the space tech ones because there is ultimately much, much less to use in them so people end up just writing the actual code instead of trying to wrangle all of the magic.
Not exactly the same situation but I immediately uninstalled the Arc browser after it auto played some video with music and asked me to create an account before I could even see the UI.
Yes. I think more people wouldn’t be so annoyed by decriminalization in Portland or other places if police would actually throw people in jail for property crimes that go along with drug decriminalization.

Pre-marital rape is a massive issue there, as is underage rape, and rape "to just teach those women a lesson".

I tend to charitable, and this is a plausible interpretation. "I mis spoke" is oftentimes a crap apology, but in this case he did: he did a bad job of explaining his core motivations.

"what would you do if.." questions, about competitors go straight to the jugular for a true believer. Somebody like Victor Kiam would run any company he could. Steve wasn't going to run any company apart from Pixar or Apple, he didn't want to re-shape IBM into AppleBM any more than Dell wanted to reshape Apple into Dellple. He answered the question contextually truthfully: given control of Apple he'd refund the cap and make Dell work, because he had no interest in running Apple.

he just needed to say "I don't answer hypotheticals" or "I don't fantasise about my competitors, all I want to do is beat them" or something.

I don't like Dell much. He's better than Oracles boss. It's notable there is NOT a giant litter puddle of Dell phones, Dell MP3 players, Dell self driving cars, Dell 3D headsets, Dell music store.. he sticks to his chops. I've owned Dell laptops and they were ok, I personally preferred Thinkpads and Macbooks but I know people who had good hard working life on his portables.

I've helped run a cluster of research nodes and corporate on-prem and some DNS anycast infra (have done 20 years) on Dell rackables and they are industrial strength. I hate iDrac but that aside I have never regretted buying Dell blades or rack mounts (and I did have the authority to select vendor) Speccing up your own supermicro is better but if you can get a dell rep who will work with you, "I want a dumb HBA for ZFS" is perfectly cromulent. The equivalent HP and IBM have caused me much grief.
I use Flutter for some web apps, it works fine. It's good for web apps, not web sites, and compared to other desktop or mobile apps, there is literally no difference between rendering on a canvas to rendering on Qt or SwiftUI.

I just think we’re trying to find a tech solution to a social problem here. We don’t need to trust media, we just need to tie media to the account that uploads it and decide what accounts we trust. The issue is that current social media encourages users to reupload media rather than simply point to existing uploads, breaking the paper trail up. It does this because there aren’t any integrations between social media sites: they’re all centralized and isolated from one another.

There’s folklore, I don’t know where I heard it, or if I just made it up, so take it with a grain of salt.

But the story is the Chuck Moore, when he wrote ColorFORTH, essentially started with DOS, DEBUG, and a floppy drive.

And from this sprang forth (ahem) ColorFORTH. Essentially he hand keyed in the most minimal core necessary to start working with his own tools until he had a boot floppy. Then he tossed DOS and DEBUG and off he went.

Appreciate that the original FigForth is about 80 screens of code. And a 3.5” PC floppy can store over 1400 screens.

Chuck seems to be the kind of person that could type in a rough Forth in raw assembly and get it editable a feed on itself to get more powerful.

It’s an interesting thought experiment to be sure.

As my colleague Sebastian mentioned here [1], we are still in the process of finding the right pricing model. Over the last few months we have added a lot of value to our plans with new extensions and the managed collaboration backend. We also added a free plan to use our services for small hobby projects or to build a prototype to evaluate the use of Tiptap. So we thought it was only fair to change the price. Right now we don't have the option to only pay for the services you need.

Which services do you use? Pro Extensions, Collaboration and/or AI? We are curious about the usage of our services.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about because side by side testing people can’t tell the difference with the exception of racing games (tho that’s screwed on DLSS 3 too anyway) and if you take screen grabs to look at. So fact is. All the compute in Nvidia cards is a gimmick. If you disagree then you’re wrong. The competitive edge of DLSS is gone.

1 bad driver update is not indicative of anything. Nvidia has had bad driver updates but you’re not shutting all over them. And running Nvidias own drivers on linux is still a pain point.

Drugs are really cheap right now, basically fentanyl is cheap and they just lace it into everything else to reduce costs. It is hard to imagine (a) fentanyl being even cheaper than it is and (b) that any taxation on it wouldn’t make it a magnitude more expensive than it currently is. Heck, just having real businesses distribute it rather than other addicts would increase prices significantly.
yup, Astro and "islands architecture" is such a joy to work with.
Cool, who is going to pay for it? This isn't rendering things on mobile.
Good luck making anything complex by relying on a bespoke library for DOM updates. In contrast, React became a breath of fresh air, emulating the game development approach to rendering new frames: just literally rebuild the components.
> Isn't "banks will be conservative and responsible" the argument for not having mandatory insurance?

The problem is not so much that the insurance is mandatory, but that it's provided by an entity whose pricing is set by the government, and which also enjoys the (implicit or explicit) backing of the government.

Privately and competitively provided insurance, even if mandated by the government, wouldn't be quite as bad.

Though I agree that giving banks the choice whether to get insured is a good one. Otherwise, you'd have to write regulation about what counts as 'good enough' insurance. Instead of letting customers of the bank decide what they are ok with.
They theoretically agree that the material's properties could be nice for making some kind of superconductor, but present no clear indication that it would/should be a room temperature superconductor. The critical temperature depends on stuff that can't be probed via such simulations (i.e., electron-electron interactions).

From my understanding (I am not a superconductor person, but in an adjacent field), having flat bands at the Fermi level is not that rare. Such features appear in other materials that are evidently not superconductors, room temperature or otherwise. So the conclusions are more along the lines of "maybe it wouldn't be totally crazy", rather than "omg, we predict this material has astounding properties".

Browsing these days is like going into jungle. I use Adblock, ghostery, noscript, pihole. To have a good experience you cannot go in unprepared. Some pages require some scripts to be running.

It may be harder over time, but if I cant't change the world, I van browse on my own terms. There needs to be extension that will be blocking WEI.

We need a list od pages that supports it and we need to same the for their support of WEI
