> Even with all the resources of Google they (and everyone else) are losing the SEO war.

Google is choosing to lose the SEO war because they think it would impact their ad revenue.

Every site that takes longer than 100ms to load? Gone. Wipes out vast quantities of ad-infested sewage. Login required? Gone. Websites now have to choose between reach and subscribers and the ones that choose subscribers will have to get better. Javascript required to access content? Gone. No more ad bidding system at all and no vectors for spreading virii. Tracking stuff from Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/etc.? Gone. No more analytics tracking everybody.

We don't need AI to fix this. We need an alternative search engine. If "AI" is what gets us there, I'll take it. But it ain't "AI".
Yeah that’s a good point. I guess in this case, there’s people whose job it is to figure out the value to the company of any decision that they make.

Sometimes they might think the higher end of the market is worth dominating by making the best product possible.

Other times that might be overkill.

It’s all very dependant on the company. Glad I don’t have to make those decisions! I just pretend to understand them on the internet heheh
This is precisely what put me off in these discussions. Not the idea that we might have found a room-temperature superconductor - that part was exciting. It's the part where people confidently talked about its applications without realizing that they probably wouldn't revolutionize CPU performance (Josephson junctions don't seem to work well as non-cryogenic temperatures for reasons unrelated to superconductivity), power grid transmission (transmission lines are already pretty efficient and we already choose less efficient materials for cost), or energy storage (LK-99 would likely have a fairly modest current limit before it stops superconducting).

LK-99 would have interesting applications, known and unknown, but we have a pretty good understanding of superconductors based on 100 years of practical research, and I find this kind of instant punditry pretty tiresome.
The only thing this does for me is ask why its not named count instead of sum.
The T200 is a great option too- you sacrifice the titanium for stainless steel but get more flexibility as the strap is removable (which IMO makes it more versatile). Beautiful dial too. I own one and I've been looking for watches with similar tinted crystal but haven't been able to find any that do it nearly as well.
That would be my guess and would follow Tesla's MO perfectly. They already offer a software "unlock" via their acceleration upgrade (which really just means the LR cars are software limited). FSD capability is built into all cars and yet you need to pay $15k or $200/mo to "add it". Why is anyone surprised that they could/would do the same thing with range.

If true, I think this is a great business move. Theoretically increases the lifespan of the car/battery, would allow the user to actually charge to "100%" on a regular basis without damaging the battery, and it allows Tesla the option to let customers upgrade later if necessary or when the consumer can afford it. Plus it allows more people to get into an awesome car for $10k less.

It's just wins all around. Makes me want one of these "standard" range versions even more.

I use a combination of things, depending on the nature of the temporary measure.

I use TODO comments to document that this part of the code needs to be revisited.

I write a warning to the log file whenever the temporary code executes.

If there are things left unimplemented, but there's an interface to them, then I put code in that's guaranteed to fail at runtime. If the language is C or C++, I'll use something like assert(false).

I would never buy hardware from a company that locks the capacity down with software, so a Tesla (nor BMW) is not the car for me.

> But if you don't want that to happen, you can just pay for the full-priced version.

Consumers should have full access to their hardware, limiting that is limiting consumer rights. It's also bad because it encourages other companies to do the same and soon people will be left with no options.

No, aside from massive deregulation and constant scandal. The Democrats managed to pull off some of the most cunning maneuvers in political history to get their agenda passed. I think Biden's admin learned from the failures of the Obama years, when they had near-supermajorities and tried too hard to get bipartisan support. Plus, they managed to do all of their 2020-22 bidding with 50 seats in the Senate. absolutely mind boggling.

Oh fascinating, thanks! Yeah CPAN dates to about 1993. CPAN in turn was based on CTAN (for TeX), which Wikipedia dates to 1991 or 1992. I used both systems in the early/mid 90s and they were not very good. CPAN in particular had a penchant for deciding to rebuilding and reinstall everything, including the Perl interpreter.

I assume the general idea is older, going back to at least the 70s and minicomputers or the like.
I hope the good news keeps coming, and very looking forward to whatever new tech is going to come of this.

I should add, I also think it's possible that Tesla is testing the market with this offer before they manufacture another batter pack configuration and add a potentially unnecessary SKU (smaller battery).
It’s been a long time since I did it at school, so I think what I do with code is more “informed by” that process than a duplication of it. But one specific thing I remember was that you look at context. One example I remember from school was reading The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, and how by describing the fog as yellow and a few other details, we could infer that the setting was almost surely London, although that’s not stated. Another fun thing was reading old literature at looking up word after word in the OED to understand what a given word meant at the time that the text was written. This was a mind-blower. All these sentences that seemed very pretty but kind of confusing suddenly became very clear when you interpolate the older meaning. And then every clue you get builds up more context that you can use to infer other aspects about setting, character, etc. So, I think there is a fair amount of inference, but it should always be logically and objectively grounded.
If this story is indeed true, there is a very simple solution: make everyone pay to use ChatGPT. I'm sure the company can stay afloat with a prosumer / corporate SaaS model.
Why can't regular conductors be used as such glue? i.e. you mix the ceramic superconductor powder into, say, molten copper, and make the wires out of the mix. The result would be copper wires with bits of superconductor in it. The result won't be superconducting per se, but should have less resistance than pure non-superconducting material which might be useful for certain applications.
A warning about Long COVID research: Any long-term trials that don't have a control group are virtually useless. When large Long COVID patient groups are studied without any treatment, the number of people reporting Long COVID symptoms declines over the course of the study.

The takeaway is that for many (but not all!) Long COVID symptoms naturally get better over time. This is a huge problem for Long COVID treatment studies that don't include a control group because there's no way to tell if the treatment made the patients better any faster than they would have normally healed.

My sense is that whole-genome sequencing is going to see the most changes in price in the next few years but without competition at the consumer level you might not see those changes trickle down. It's also currently unclear what to do with the whole genome data at the level of a consumer.

If you search for reviews using terms like "best DNA tests" you can find some recent consumer reviews that focus on different applications. Some of the reviews them have an eye on privacy issues and things like that but not all.

> How would the alternative work?

It's not an easy problem to solve, but I think it would be possible to extend PKI to make it work for local networks without internet access.

An approach could work as follows:

Dedicate a special TLD for "local-only domains". Such domains are only expected to be valid inside a specific LAN, analogous to 192.168.* IP addresses. (In fact, several TLDs with that kind of intended use already exist [1])

Specify some way how a local network can announce a CA specifically for that network (maybe through a DHCP extension, a special "well-known" hostname or IP address or a field in a wifi beacon message)

When a user navigates to a local-only domain, the site's cert is validated using the network's CA. The CA is only valid for local-only domains and only while connected to that specific network.

This would allow using PKI and encrypted connections inside a LAN, would not require internet access or 3rd party services and would also not compromise the security of domains on the internet.

Interesting, from what I saw a lot of people got informed on why those overly confident predictions were drek - I don't know that I have seen a claim go unchallenged.

Which seems ideal to me. Very educational.
In Python a Boolean true and false are often used in mathematical formulas, so they will often implicitly be coerced into the integers 1 and 0. Sum is the sum function, you can sum a sequence of numbers, but in this case it’s summing a bunch of Boolean values which are coerced to 1 and 0.
Remarkable how many of these are on the East Coast, particularly the southern states.
Every lossless “compression” algorithm makes some strings shorter and other strings longer, such that the average space savings against all possible strings is neutral at best. This is a fundamental consequence of the way information works — there’s no way to losslessly map (say) 8 bits of input into 7 bits of output.

The goal of compression, then, is to make common strings shorter while making uncommon strings longer. You can think of, say, UTF-8 as a simple compression algorithm: it would take 20 bits per character to encode all Unicode code points with a fixed-width encoding, but UTF-8 takes advantage of the fact that the most commonly used characters have a lot of leading zeroes (at least in English). So the characters of the English alphabet require only 8 bits to encode, but uncommon characters require up to 32 bits.

Thus, I would expect an LLM-based compression algorithm to do well on strings that were common in its training data, and make strings that were uncommon or absent slightly longer. If it did not do that, it would not be a lossless compression algorithm.
It’s at the point for me, where I assume that any years where the Republicans control government will be years where nothing happens.

The Republican party runs on several broadly unpopular or unwise policy platforms (anti-abortion, anti-weed, anti-welfare, anti-healthcare, anti-immigration, anti-science) and is hesitant to actually implement any of them for fear of igniting opposition.

Recently they’ve taken the side-channel of stuffing the courts and then legislating from the bench, since judicial appointees are immune to voter pressure.

Time will tell how this all plays out for the Republican party. In the short-term, it causes tremendous damage to our institutions.

In the long-term, my best guess is that the current Republican platform will collapse within 10-20 years as the current leadership ages out, and there will be a phase change where the Republican platform recrystallizes around a more modern set of conservative values that appeals more to younger voters. The party itself will likely survive because the two-party system is too stable.

File != Compilation unit

In circle the features are literally per-file. Which means you can have a source file that enables a feature and which include headers which doesn't use that feature, which in turn includes another one that includes that header etc.

At first look it seems that the problem is self inflicted and that if we got rid of headers and use modules c++ would be like rust.

But even in rust, editions can only be applied at the level of a crate. Crates are effectively the compilation units of rust

What circle does is more granular and it would be the equivalent of a rust edition per module or pet file.

Totally agree. Old forums and personal websites are some of the best resources on the web for many topics outside of current events. Google Search already downranks them in favor of more corporate results, and this Chromium change will hurt that part of the web even more.

It's maddening that so many people in tech seem oblivious to the fact that most people in the world interact with the web totally differently than them and have very different interests. Google in particular can be so hostile to people who couldn't care less about the latest tech trends and just want the stuff they care about to work with minimal fuss.

Once a spammer knows the system he can create infinite amounts of content. When a forum keeps mod actions secret, that benefits a handful of people.

We already established that secrecy elbows out trustful people, right? Or, do you dispute that? I've answered many of your questions. Please answer this one of mine.

> That removing such blocks and practices would improve overall site quality.

To clarify my own shade of grey, I do not support shadow moderation. I support transparent-to-the-author content moderation. I also support the legal right for forums to implement shadow moderation.
