> more secure

"more secure" is a completely meaningless statement, I wish this usage would die already (in general).

You need to talk about security in the face of a very specific threat, then you can say solution A is better than solution B against threat T1, worse for T2 and about a wash for T3 and so on.

Security is not a linear scale from 0-100 where you can say "more secure". There are many different criteria and any given solution will be better in some, worse in others. You must do a threat model for your specific use case to say if something is better or worse for those specific threats, and keep in mind other people will have very different threat models for the same solution.
What's the argument here? That CSS doesn't suck because there's a self-serving snake oil industry publishing explainer articles about CSS which is at the same also pushing for ever more CSS complexity as the browser cartel is pulling up the ladder such that no browser can be coded from scratch, ever again? At best, CSS could have served as an experiment for collecting requirements for the "real" successor and replacement language.

CSS does, in fact, suck big time. The yardstick never was arbitrary complexity. Do you really believe Gen Z+ has nothing better to do than to pick up the boomer shit that is CSS?

CSS proponents are well advised to conduct a language review, return to CSS "levels" and/or device profiles or other means to break it down into manageable chunks that can actually serve as a basis for implementors.

Or provide a formal semantics rather than a disorganized set of tenths of "modules" not really deserving of that term that are compiled into a pointless "snapshot" every two years or so.

Or layer CSS functionality on top of primitive layouting/plugin capabilities such that newer parts of CSS can be provided as reference implementation in JavaScript on top (ie what the dormant Houdini API was attempting to do).

Basically, anything to organize a project of the size of CSS when the criticism has been loud and clear for many years now. But W3C, Inc. does nothing of the sort, hinging on the CSS WG as literally the last bit of influence it has over the web, and apparently in financial dependency on Google as the sponsor to have an interest in weak standardization bodies - the only other sponsor being from China since last year?
I know a lot depends on architecture and number representation, but do people have a sense for how big a compute cluster is needed to train these classes of models from 1.5B, 3B, 7B, 13B, 70B?

What @roelschroeven says.

CPU Time is a metric of how much 'real time' was spent on the process, so a single thread running 100% time [on a single core with no HT] would give you a full 'real time' second. System idle 'consumes' all the idle CPU time so if the system is doing nothing it's get a second of CPU Time per execution thread. And there are multiple execution threads on almost anything later than 2005. On my T440 with i3-4010U (2 cores, 4 threads) the System Idle consumes ~3 seconds of CPU Time per second, because there are ton of shit running in the background so the system is never 100% idle.

Of course. However on average they are probably significantly more likely to mismanage that money than other groups.
LaTeX wasn't half bad (for its time). Most of its sins are the strange way that transforms gets done and functions are applied. One could imagine a latex-ey css that punted crazier function calls to js.

I'm willing to bet otherwise (w.r.t. your first statement). They probably consider the sliver of such users expendable.

Or at least they will at some point in the near future.

For most people clojure/clojurescript is the way to go as it's practical for building modern software. I'm working on something (but very slowly as I have a dayjob) to do this. I wish we had started in clojure(script), but that was not my call at the time (it is now).

But in short; for now clojure(script) is the most practical way currently.

Note: there is ABCL for running CL on the JVM, so for that you don't need clojure (I haven't tried but I have friends who use it and say it works well), however the JS issue (and I would need JS and interact with JS) isn't solved yet, as far as I know. I haven't looked recently, but threads like [0] are not that old and I cannot quickly see many things changed in that respect. So I would rather opt for what CLOG did and other Liveview type of systems, so it doesn't matter what happens in the frontend. WASM and (because now it's still needed) a robust JS implementation would be great.

Creating resistance to avian influenza infection through genome editing of the ANP32 gene family: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41476-3

"These mutations unexpectedly allowed the usually host-restricted avian influenza polymerase to use the shorter human ANP32A and B and thus partially adapted the viral polymerase for replication in mammals. Although unintended, this consequence clearly indicates the importance of a robust genome editing strategy and subsequent appraisal that includes challenge with multiple avian influenza genotypes at non-physiological exposure levels to rule out the opportunity for adaptive viral evolution."
To be pedantic, DUI by itself is not killing anyone, it's the crashing that tends to do the killing. You don't know the circumstances behind someone's DUI conviction, which could range from being drunk plowing into a bus load of school kids to being drunk in your parked, non-running car without the keys. There are many ways a determined and creative cop + justice system can successfully convict one for DUI that don't involve harm to anyone.
The horse paper [1] is not a refutation of the DNA half-life paper [2]:

It's worth remembering that the half-life paper dealt with samples that had "an effective burial temperature of 13.1°C", while the horse sample was obtained from the permafrost. The half-life paper even talks about DNA obtained from ice-core samples in that age-range:

> The rate of depurination is influenced by temperature, among other factors, which explains why the most extreme survival of DNA was documented in approximately 450–800 kyr ice cores.

And if you look at Table 1 in the half-life paper, you'll find estimated half-lifes for a range of temperatures, with an estimated half-life of 9.5k years for a 500bp DNA fragment at -5C and 47k years for a shorter 100bp fragment at the same temperature:

> Still, the results indicate that under the right conditions of preservation, short fragments of DNA should be retrievable from very old bone (e.g. greater than 1 Myr).

The horse paper also cites the half-life paper, but not as a refutation.

Here in Australia, there's a question going around: "are there ongoing negative impacts of colonialism on indigenous people". Some say yes, others say no - including senator Jacinta Price who is of Aboriginal heritage.

How will you determine the "truth"? Will you pick a side, then label the other side misinformation? What happens if 90% of people say "yes", is that enough to lock it in and silence the remaining 10%?

The European warnings seem to blame X for something that's found on the general internet and all platforms. From what I can see, most misinformation does get dealt with either by labels, notes, or replies under the post. Anyone making decisions based on a single piece of unconfirmed social media, isn't doing it right.
What would be a better default then? Scroll or crop? Breaking the word? Neither are great.

By using “width” you are explicitly opting out of the default “expand to fit”.

> notions of legitimate-or-not based on the standards of the time

> "Retaliation" is a huge stretch: if your trade and your trade representatives are consistently unwelcome in someone else's territory

To clarify, trade missions conducted according to established protocols of the time and in the context of precedents of mutual trade, and retaliation in keeping with loosely-shared notions of legitimate-or-not, so much so that chroniclers of sedentary urban peoples could invoke their own concepts of legitimacy in recording them. These details are well attested in the historical record.

> eventually the kings and tax collectors did evolve into systems of governance with accountability that could support ... all the ... things we enjoy.

Sedentary agrarian societies evolved. Nomadic societies evolved. (Seafaring societies evolved. Urban mercantile societies evolved.) They all interacted with each other and some branches of each adopted some ways of the others. Our modern world with its particular triumphs and failures, freedoms and limitations, emerged from that interaction and is radically different from all of these pre-modern societies. Certain enduring elements of governance with accountability (or at least the conditions for them) were, by many accounts, a major contribution of nomadic states. It's incredibly complex and there is room to disagree -- as we do -- ideally without dehumanizing human beings as diseases or insects.

That post feels... very 2006, and it may be worth revisiting CSS with fresher eyes, because almost none of that seems to true to me any more.

Cross-browser compatibility is very rarely an issue that I actually run into any more; flexbox and CSS grid have solved a lot of your concerns about layout options; there aren't a lot of areas of duplicate functionality (especially in rounded corners); CSS is declarative (I just didn't get this point at all - parsing CSS is rarely the bottleneck in modern browsers); and CSS is a lot easier to use than it used to be.

I think the most important point is that the comparisons with things like Word or PDFs miss the most important thing that CSS/web design needs to do, which is work for any browser size on any device in a huge variety of contexts. A PDF is, as you say, design-centric in that I draw a design on a screen and that design, exactly, is reproduced in the file and therefore on someone else's screen.

But the tradeoff made there is that the PDF file they open will be the exact size and shape that I've chosen. With websites that's just not possible. You might be on mobile, you might be on a desktop with an extra-large screen, you might be on desktop but with the browser window snapped to the side so you can view something else on the other side of the screen, or you might just be using a particularly unusual monitor with odd proportions. The promise of CSS is that my design will still fit your browser window well, even as you resize it.

This means that rather than say where I want my image to be, I need to say how I want it to fit on a generalised screen. Or rather than define N columns, I need to define a grid with automatic columns of a certain width. This, it turns out, is very hard to encode in existing PDF-/print-oriented software where all sizes can be hardcoded.

I'm very unconvinced by your idea that there is 1000× more CSS to can content. In my experience, the single largest contributor to web bloat is tracking scripts, followed by other forms of JS, followed by images. CSS is very rarely so big an issue unless you're pulling in an entire CSS framework.

I'm not an ML engineer, just interested in the space - but as a general ballpark, training these models from scratch needs hundreds to thousands of GPUs.
curl - SOCKS5 heap buffer overflow - CVE-2023-38545
There was a great BBC docudrama in 2003 called Seven Wonders of the Industrial World. [1]

Log is lower contrast so it's less likely to clip (be a fully saturated color or pure white or black). And clipping inherently limits your max dynamic range.

Log also means a "look" is not baked into the image so, since you're starting from scratch, it's 1) easier to tweak the images so you can cut between two cameras from different manufacturers without distracting differences and 2) you can give the image more of your personality.

As a general note, I've found that in the world of "cinematography", tech terms aren't used very rigorously and there's a lot of cargo cult which comes from the benefit of one tech being conflated as a benefit of something else. It's often hard to sift through the noise when learning.
> Not having heard about it, I looked up Lazarus, and it appears to be an IDE? Is that comparing apples to oranges?

While it is an IDE, it is also a GUI designer, unlike most other IDEs.

Across the platforms that it supports, sure.

I didn't make any claim about how many platforms it runs on, though.
My aha moment in CSS was learning the rules of specificity, when one rule overrides another. I had always assumed on some level that later rules override earlier ones, which is true, but only part of the story.
Stockholm Bans Diesel, Petrol Cars in City Center from 2025

This is a great question that enticed me to watch that moment a fair few number of times. I’ll provide a lame, handwavy explanation and hope to be corrected.

The right foot was on the floor while the left was on the rug, which was in motion and and raised delta the thickness of the rug. In such a mode, the bot is inclined to prefer the stable right leg and lifts the left leg. (I wonder if it can balance on one leg indefinitely? If not, that makes this sequence even more impressive.) Putting the center of gravity over the stable leg increases the probability of the bot staying upright. As opposed to leaning or shifting weight with both legs remaining aground, lifting the unstable leg entirely from the moving surface maximizes the goal of staying upright by minimizing the force of friction. I also think the rug was jerked at just the right moment such that it maximized the visual impression.

This explanation avoids the need for the bot to predict visually the impact of the rug pull, since the rug pull was not instantaneous and the bot’s reaction came after the rug pull began.

This is a very impressive demo. I do think they nailed the goal of expressively and emotion.
Yes, nothing really wrong with this. Just pointing out that what hits the sensor is far off from what's being saved.

However, some phones now even apply AI filters to fill in detail it didn't capture. Like adding craters to the moon.

And the thing about contrast, sharpness etc is that "more always looks better" at a quick glance. So when people are doing comparisons between phones etc, the one destroying the picture the most might be declared the winner.
Why do you say that? That's what directories and user accounts are there for.

I love modern CSS. Especially with modern debugging tools. You need to know it very well in order to use it effectively though.

That said, I remember what it was like to debug CSS before we could use the developer panel and click on elements.

Meaning is filtered by words. There are many meanings and feeings out there that don't have words to express themselves and can't spread.

Giving AI the ability to voice meanings and behaviours that should be illegal, is catastrophically weird.

'''Breton posted back: “You are well aware of your users’ — and authorities’— reports on fake content and glorification of violence. Up to you to demonstrate that you walk the talk. My team remains at your disposal to ensure DSA compliance, which the EU will continue to enforce rigorously.” '''
Some sensors do this internally, unusual though. The rest of the high-end ones apply curves manually in software directly at the egress of the sensor. The reason they don't in all cases is that it complicates black level correction, gamut transforms and demosaic operations (without some assumptions).
The sensor size is the limiting factor here re: noise performance and dynamic range, but the iPhone does better than most with some ML and other “computational photography” tricks for denoising that other small sensor cameras don’t have. And ProRes is a great codec that doesn’t really have compression artifacts at high bitrates.

> Compilers try to hoist constant conditions outside of loops but they're bad at it. Even in the trivial example above, on -O2 gcc does a redundant check with every loop iteration.

GCC is actually good at that, -O3 has no issue recognizing it. In fact there even is a very explicit option (-funswitch-loops) responsible for extracting loop invariants. It is not enabled on -O2 because it has a space-speed tradeoff. If this optimization is truly desirable even on -O2, `#pragma GCC optimize("-funswitch-loops")` can be used to force it.

I think that was before Judaism/Christianity. Islam is much more recent though. The region did not have that until hundreds of years later.
