Yea I wanted to automate some basic story outlining with a valuable template and then see how far it can get writing dialogue.

Working on giving it the basic story as input. Also want to use a multi modal expression to inform the story generation soon.
Mere employment does not negate that the person might still have financial incentives tied to DDG. If anything, they might be concealed better and are MORE likely they can publish with conflict of interest, without legal risk.
I had this happen at my place a number of times, my house is up on a hill with large windows facing the view. I didn't want to put stickers or other things that would detract from the view. A neighbor mentioned that they put up a couple of decorative hanging plants off to the side of the windows, didn't have to be right in front which would block the view. I opted for a couple of hanging outdoor art pieces (I have a brown thumb). It worked, my theory is it gives the birds something to gauge perspective on perhaps. I am not sure how that could work for skyscrapers, but for a home like mine it worked like a charm.

Seriously. People in this thread are describing some setups that momentarily seem cool in theory, but are almost certainly overkill for personal use.
The default position when commenting something on the internet is that it is opinion (this comment included). I don't think it has to be stated explicitly.
I see the comparison page, seems to be a better answer for what I was looking for: https://www.chezmoi.io/comparison-table/

Hm, it seems like most of what chezmoi does, I don't really need, compared to a private git repo.
I feel like this comment needs some extra emphasis, especially when it comes to third-party drivers, perhaps even more than application software.
Would you rather have "There are no results for Hurricane Karina" than "Here are results for Hurricane Katrina"? Honestly..
> The point might be that GDP is not the income of any individual entity, however construed.

Addressed upthread: “Its not government revenue, but government revenue is largely a choice within parameters set by, more than anything else, national income.”

That is, its is what sets the bounds on the revenue of the only relevant entity, within which the actual revenue is a matter of thr decisions of that same entity.
Thanks, I'm pretty interested, but don't have any direct connects.

I work lying down with a pillow acting as a desk for my keyboard (I don't have to look at the screen as I use screen reader software) so I guess I don't have to worry about it. It hurts my back sitting for long hours so I found lying down to be more comfortable working from home :)
I think this is called the pseudoscientific rigor.

They'll certainly ignore search terms, modifiers like quotation marks, and so on. If the result looks like what you meant to search for, that means they're doing their job right I suppose, but they are definitely only using your literal query as a suggestion.

Hm. Leonardo da Vinci would also be a good contender.

"The more I study Isaac Newton, the more fascinating he becomes."

Leibniz would also be a good contender:

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/may/10/my-hero-leibni...

https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-to-understand-the-univers...

"Gottfried Leibniz, active in the 17th and 18th centuries, who along with Isaac Newton invented calculus. Leibniz argued (against Newton) that there’s no fixed backdrop to the universe, no “stuff” of space; space is just a handy way of describing relationships. This relational framework captured Smolin’s imagination, as did Leibniz’s enigmatic text The Monadology, in which Leibniz suggests that the world’s fundamental ingredient is the “monad,” a kind of atom of reality, with each monad representing a unique view of the whole universe. It’s a concept that informs Smolin’s latest work as he attempts to build reality out of viewpoints, each one a partial perspective on a dynamically evolving universe. A universe as seen from the inside."

----

"This interconnection (or accommodation) of all created things to each other,brings it about that each simple substance has relations that express all the others,and consequently, that each simple substance is a perpetual, living mirror of the universe.

Just as the same city viewed from different directions appears entirely different and, as it were, multiplied perspectively, in just the same way it happens that, because of the infinite multitudeof simple substances, there are, as it were, just as many different universes, which are, nevertheless, only perspectives on a single one, . . .

And this is the way of obtaining as much variety as possible, but with the greatest order possible, that is,it is the way of obtaining as much perfection as possible.

—G. W. Leibniz, The Monadology, 56-58, 1714

I once read once a quote about Leibniz, that roughly went like: When Newton was buried, he was buried like a king. When Leibniz was buried, only his servant was present. But the long Leibniz is dead, the longer his shadow becomes.
The fiat money system also operates on faith, but that faith is in the government so by your definition that's ok I guess. It seems that the modern left is adopting the government as their own. Personally, I trust the government about the same amount as I trust big companies, not at all. In my view the current fiat money system is a very old legalized scam around which there is quite a lot of academic contortion and opaque jargon to try to justify its existence - funded by those who benefit from it. Unwinding the scam would be political suicide as it would crush the perceived wealth of the populus.

This is not to say that crypto isn't so infested with scams that they're now inseparable. I spread my trust around thinly across many countries, banks, and financial instruments with very little of it in crypto. My hopes is that crypto will mature and become boring but useful but do believe we're still a long way away from that.
The only reason I don't use them heavily is because there's no way to know if they're F keys or media keys at any given moment in any random keyboard.
I agree that WASM is the better option. In my opinion it is however not viable for public-facing sites. The bundle size even if you pull all the tricks is just too big.

I am talking about having to download >1MB in the best case before the site is functional. Simply unusable on slow mobile connections. React/Vue/etc. are often sub 100kB, you can even have something like Preact.js at 3kB if you want.

Anyone else have proof of Domain Name Front Running?
This has come up a bit on HN. The registrar I used to use (still have a bunch registered) is based in Canada - did this to me last week. Searched for a name, 2 weeks later the registrar registered it to sell for more. I think this is despicable company behavior. Any recourse? From now on I'm only going to search for a new name from Icann and Cira in Canada.

I'm used to my online purchases taking time. The closest thing we have to Amazon is Ozon, it's 1-2 days if you buy something that's already in a warehouse in your city (i.e. if you're lucky) and several more days if it's not.

People are speculating on Bitcoin for different reasons, but many of us are doing so because we have examined it closely and seen it's utility. It is still very early in the adoption phase and so it's hard to see the utility in practice right now, but as you learn more about our current financial system and how Bitcoin works, the potential of Bitcoin is pretty astounding.
All good points and I do agree. What I mean is that they have the compute infrastructure to manage it, assuming Youtube makes some colossal mistake with the goodwill they have with viewers.
AI-Generated Phishing Emails Almost Impossible to Detect, Report Finds
So why did they take the article down as opposed to only appending the note at the end of the article like they've done elsewhere?

It's long been rumored that Google coerces news outlets to publish (or not publish) certain topics lest they find themselves downranked or missing from search queries for a while or get penalized with adsense.

With the removal of an article besmearching Google, I begin to wonder if there's any truth to those rumors.
> It might have been common practice, but everyone denied it, including Arnold repeatedly. It was and is considered “cheating”, so the claim that it was normal should be asterisked. It is “normal” the way affairs in marriage are.

Maybe I am naive, but having an affair isn't a prerequisite for marriage. Whereas everyone in bodybuilding is on steroids, it's a prerequisite for the sport. It was back then and it still is now.
On the other side you should be very wary of blind idolism, news title bait and fanboy clubs. Maybe give a thought as to why you jumped to his defense when he probably hasn't ever met you? Was all the things surrounding Doom all it took to convince you he's worth defending in all other areas he's not had expertise in?
If you look past the wealth (and wealth inequality) the US is pretty miserable. We are very lonely here. Maybe it would be good for us, but not for them.

Value is always decided by humans. The question is, is it decided in a distributed way via general consensus, or in a centralized way that exposes you to the whims of unaccountable bureaucrats?

Bitcoin devs can do whatever they want, except that there is no law putting them in charge so if they attempt to commit fraud they lose everyone's respect which was the only thing giving them any power, and they get replaced by someone else. Which they don't want, which keeps pressure on them to behave well.
So how do you quantify the difference your review makes? That cost/benefit analysis is hard to do objectively because the counterfactual outcome of deploying without review is not observed. You could model the various probabilities of failure and their expected cost, but it is arduous and hand wavy at best.

Actually no it does not. The United States is more culturally tolerant than many other countries in the world but rest assured we do not allow all peoples to keep their current culture. There are ideals that the United States holds that are enshrined in our founding documents that run counter to many cultural beliefs. When you come to this country you are expected to abandon those parts of your cultural beliefs because if you do not you will wind up being a criminal.

There is much more I could say on this subject having traveled much of the world and seen the cultures that people have but this really isn't the venue. The short version is that statements like yours seem to have the underpinning that all cultures are equal and of equal moral value. Those who hold that belief have not studied other cultures or gone to places and seeing how those cultures are implemented. Perhaps they're just extremely naive and don't know that many cultures still promote rape as a way to control women or female general mutilation. These are extreme examples but they are real and these are not a criminal elements that are promoting these things this is a cultural norm that is considered acceptable.

This is not meant to be a statement that the United States some how has obtained cultural perfection because it's certainly has not but there's a reason people to this day flock to this country and not to a lot of other countries. You don't have to do very much of a Google search to find the news articles of people who have come to this country believing your idea that they can keep their culture and then performing those heinous acts that I used as an example. Again they did not think of themselves as performing a criminal act they had willing participants to aid them who believe that they were doing the culturally correct thing.
Got it. Thanks, that had never been in my reading list but I'll check it out.
I disagree. I don't like the their govt rules, and I especially condemn their lack of rule of law and selective enforcement, but the fine is 200, and the rest is the confiscation of illegal earnings.

I do wonder where the employer is in this picture. Who are they? Do they not protect their employee? It's well known that VPN and GitHub is banned in China, did they make this netizen use the VPN and the illegal service knowingly? Did the netizen use these knowing it's illegal, or were they misled to believe they have legal access? Was the employee a remote contractor of sorts?
THEY are the ones that say that google has provided them "proof" I want to see that proof, else I have every right to call them liars.
Companies are legally required to keep payroll records for multiple years (depends on where you live, though I doubt most places are less than 3-4). This is ok advice, but these systems don't just work like this. If you didn't have the documentation the bank would likely take your approved tax filings as evidence and move on with their day.

In a real contract dispute your copy of a contact from your documents isn't notably different in the eyes of the court than one from your employer. They're both notarized and if there's a dispute between them there is established processes. Aside from some titles or etc., historical filing ownership is typically relegated to the document originators.
Structure and Composition of Quality Prompts
Agreed, I was surprised there was no mention of Da Vinci in the article, certainly he has to be in the top 10 in my view.
Lol sounds like an epic last play :) In terms of performance, Firefox is about 40% slower than Chromium-based browser or Safari, basically purely in the performance of Spidermonkey. We have tried to optimize on Firefox in the past, however the development tools there make it difficult to determine what the problem might be beyon "everything is slower". For V8 we have the Chromium tracing tools that les us understand where V8 is spending time on potentially unoptimized code, or on megamorphic property access. Finally, unfortunately Firefox is currently used by 1% of our players, so it's hard to find time to improve it.

I would love to know how vanilla Chromium performed on the same machine! https://download-chromium.appspot.com/

Bitcoin is not expensive to use, I'm not sure why you think it is

It is far more private by default than our current central bank and credit card system. Could it be better? Maybe. Does everyone want a fully anonymous system? I'm not sure
Incredible how AI can tackle phishing -- a true game changer! Anyone else wondering about its potential implementation in other cybersecurity realms?
That target used to be the closest one to me, and I NEVER went there. That store was awful in every way, I don’t doubt theft was bad, but I doubt that if theft went away it would have kept the store alive.
The Seattle Times compared stores closing with stores remaining open and found that (1) the stores closing had fewer calls to the police than the stores remaining open, and (2) the stores closing just happen to be Target's new smaller-format stores, which have been seriously underperforming nationally.

Retail "shrink" includes inventory losses from all causes -- breakage, spoilage, customer theft, employee theft, paperwork theft from fake invoices and receiving errors, and even unknown causes. It's the difference between the inventory they pay for, and the inventory they sell and physically count.

Total shrink as a percentage of sales hasn't changed much over the years, so a skeptical mind might wonder why there's suddenly this coordinated, nationwide, nonstop, pervasive hyperventilating over retail theft. A skeptical mind might wonder if there's a hidden agenda driving this messaging.
To me, the article is about the walking environment as art. ‘How does it make you feel?’

It’s promoting groups and activities which spark greater awareness of your surroundings while walking. And also, I think, to have a sense of ownership of the environs where you live.

I think the purpose of the article is to spark your imagination and make you think.
> Crypto does have utility, but there's only room for one: bitcoin.

That it doesn’t have any known/recognizable founder has helped it quite a bit. Compare that to other coins with founders who have compromised on things (in some or many people’s views) and it makes the case stronger. Plus the fact that it didn’t have an ICO-like event — where the people launching it and their friends get a big stake for close to nothing — has also helped reinforce the idea that it’s less scammy.

> Everything else is just a me-too derivative that can add nothing except the possibility of central control (like the "digital dollar").

I’m not sure where you’re getting this from if you’re comparing all other cryptocurrencies. Would Monero and similar currencies be a “me too” derivative too? If yes, why? Monero is quite steady, AFAIK, in its valuation in fiat currency terms.
Just gonna point out that the modern image of Santa Claus (or him wearing red) wasn't actually created by Coca Cola:

It probably helped cement that as the standard image of the character, but that was becoming the default look anyway.
It is not about crashing, but security. Chromium based browsers have multiple layers of sandboxing and hardening. Webpage rendered basically runs in several virtual machines that are very hard to breach.

Mozilla had process based isolation (mainly due old code base). That is far less effective. Some things like GPU access are not sandboxed at all!

>Google remains the default search engine provider inside the Firefox browser until 2023 for an estimated $400 million to $450 million per year.

Mozilla is a multibilion corporation. They DO have resources for proper rewrite in Rust. How they spend their money is another thing!

Old code base was good excuse in 2016! Brave Software Inc is much smaller company, and they do advanced stuff like their own search engine!

Of course it's greed, and of course it's reasonable. Apple is directly responsible for the work conditions of its workers and the contractors they use, absolutely. If they can't be responsible then they can close shop. There is no obligation for them to have a business.
In personal use it's fine, when competing it raises the bar to you needing to use steroids to compete. Anyone not comfortable with messing with their hormones and dealing with the effects will never keep up

> I first learned git. It was the most intuitive program I've ever used

Maybe because it is because it was the only one, since it is the first you learned :p

I wouldn't call git "one of the best software ever written", though it certainly was influential. It was a hack job by Linus Torvalds because he was dissatisfied with the existing offering when it comes to source control. What he achieved in so little time was truly impressive, and the foundation of it is good, but it was still a hack job and I guess it gained most of its popularity because of Linux, and later GitHub.

Now, git has much improved, certainly due to its popularity, but its roots as a hack job still show. Maybe, in an alternate universe, Mercurial would have been the one, it is very similar, or maybe Bazaar, or Fossil, which have different philosophies, but are still very capable DVCSs. Interestingly, they all came out at about the same time (2005, except for bazaar, that came out in 2006).
