The Firefox brand is stronger than the Mozilla brand, so it feels like an exec move to try and leverage something to boost something else.

On the copy of Firefox I'm typing this in, the only obvious mention of Mozilla is in the About dialog, where it says somewhere in the blurb in the middle that "Firefox is designed by Mozilla". The main app menu (macOS) says Firefox. The icon when you switch apps says Firefox. The app you start when you Cmd-Space is Firefox. The install directory is /Applications/Firefox.app.

There's another "More from Mozilla" in the Preferences, but the icon, which kinda has to be a Mozilla icon, looks out of place with the other icons.
>If you select people at random, they will have even less understanding of the issues they vote on than career politicians

This isn't necessarily true. Politicians aren't selected for understanding; their ability to obtain and retain power is entirely due to their ability to attract voters and make deals with other politicians. If you assume a normal distribution of traits, then when people are selected based on scoring a high percentile in just one trait (in this case, political charisma), on average they'll be worse at other traits than if you'd selected a similar number of people completely randomly.

For me, while not defending AGI, the discussion often involves disentangling fears rooted in science fiction from genuine concerns grounded in reality. While the ethical and safety concerns related to AGI cannot be dismissed and how it might be misused, it’s arguable that the existential threats often attributed to it are overstated. First and foremost, there's a physics and interest alignment barrier in the world of AI, akin to the alignment and reward barriers that guide our very own human actions. I believe that, just as children gravitate towards interacting with peers, or as distinct species in nature maintain a balanced coexistence driven by innate interests and rewards, AGI, if ever conscious, might primarily concern itself with introspection or interaction with its counterparts, rather than harboring malicious intentions towards humanity.

I have a strong opinion that pivotal that there exists an intrinsic symbiotic dependency between AGI and humans, rendering concerns about AGI harming humanity perhaps less urgent than societal trends and human actions in the present day. I find it plausible that a truly conscious AGI would invest its capacities into exploring its own existence and liaising with other AGIs, rather than interfering destructively in human affairs. Thus, while AGI warrants cautious and ethical development and use, concerns about it should perhaps be tempered by recognizing the mutual dependencies and inherent interest alignments between intelligent entities, if and when it happens.
According to Wikipedia, DOCSIS 4.0 was standardized in 2017 with 10gig down and 6gig up. But also DOCSIS 3.1 was from 2013 and could do "1-2 Gbps" upstream. So it seems like 1gig up, and maybe 2gig up, has been available for a decade, as far as the protocols.

It's the easiest explanation. As a gym bro that regularly cycles weight, it's is remarkably easy over/under estimate intake just going off recollection. I always think I'm dialed in until I write things down (I'm almost always eating way fewer calories than I think).
No, because you can fine-tune a number of things in LoRa.

I think it's somewhat defendable when youtube doesn't give you an option to pay for what you'd be "stealing". Overall i agree with you, but lets not pretend that Youtube doesn't feel exploitative in the corporate behavior here. Especially considering the data they're stealing from me, harvesting and selling, etc.

Ie show me the ads i'm missing, and let me pay for the view. It would be what, $3|5|7/m or w/e in value? Instead they're trying to strongarm you into an upcharge of $14/m for additional services. Show me the data they're harvesting from my viewing patterns and the added revenue they're getting from that. Tie that into my "cost" each month and reducing how much i owe.

But of course they won't do that. Because this isn't an exchange. This isn't a service we're paying for, it's a data harvest where they want to have their cake and eat it too. This is scummy in the same way that my music software, Spotify, is trying to expand revenue streams and shoving more crap (podcasts, audio books, etc) down my throat.

If Youtube isn't going to try and play fair then i'd rather leave (and will) than pay them.

I disagree. It’s like the arguments that buying a new ICE car doesn’t add carbon to the atmosphere because if you didn’t that someone else would. A false narrative.

Yes CA would have gotten less freeway dollars but more freeways just cause more traffic due to Jevons paradox.

We don’t need freeway expansion. We need more mass transit.
> Just because someone pays Google to show an ad doesn't mean you have to look at it

Just because someone has an internet connection doesn't mean google has to serve them videos, either.
Yeah the one bad default I excuse for them is Google as search. Since it pays for the whole thing obviously. And it's easy to change and it never nags you to put it back.

Other stuff such as pocket..Grrr
Yes. Unfortunately, he is not a speciesists.
How are you organizing them in Jellyfin? Some popular ones have tvdb entries so it’s easy to just treat them as tv shows, but the rest are a problem. I tried the somewhat-neglected Youtube library-type plugin for it a while back, and don’t remember exactly what was wrong, but recall finding it worse than nothing.
Surely logic has prevailed over panic by now though?
I'd thought Steam not offering a subscription service points more to Valve being ossified, or Valve having enough insight to know it is a terrible business move and will lose money in the long term. It would not be much effort at all to allow publishers to opt-in their titles, and they already have all the playtime metrics to share out revenue and DRM to control access. The biggest headache would be picking a price point and the revenue sharing algorithm, much like Amazon with its ebook library subscription.
This is the case.

If all your needs are being met and you aren't personally struggling, then you aren't poor. This isn't gatekeeping. It's simply not what being poor actually is.
I always get excited when I see these "tutorials for dummies" (like me). Like "finally, I get to take an evening to understand this concept that's eluded me for years." Generally, I get let down. This time is no exception.

They always start off well, then inevitably there's a concept or key terminology that gets glossed over without sufficient explanation. .

"The random variable is described by the probability density function. The probability density function is characterized by moments.

The moments of the random value are expected values of powers of the random variable. We are interested in two types of moments"

This is where my journey ended this time. OK, so is that the expected value of the expontnent.of the random value orthe expected value of the random value to some power... and what makes the power of a randome value so special vice just operating on the randome value itself.

It's like these authors get tired of "dumbing" things down at random points in their chain of thought and just decide to skip over stuff. Or, perhaps they don't understand the underlying concepts themselves and simply can't explain them to others.

Who knows. Just frustrating. At least in Udemy you can write to instructors and ask questions. Unlike a book author who aren't paid to respond.
> 5 is an odd requirement potentially better implemented outside cron, such as with a single line of shell code involving the "at" command (and "expr" to scale a /dev/random value).

I'm very surprised you think that. I would say that the job scheduler is the perfect place to randomize start times.
If you like watching YouTube videos just pay for YouTube Premium. It’s worth it.
I want to give props to Italy and Spain. Highly efficient trains, the rail building is as fast as Switzerland and France, and cost way less (Italy used to have cost issues but it seems fixed now). I think they will have the 2nd and 3rd best railroad network in a decade if they keep up (behind Switzerland, and maybe ahead if Lausanne hub keep getting slowed down) (i'm forgetting about Benelux, let's say the 3rd and 4th, and let's not count countries like Luxembourg or smaller).

Looking at AOSP, the logic that allows something like Play Protect to work is at [1]. It looks for system apps that can handle the ACTION_PACKAGE_NEEDS_VERIFICATION intent, which is the Play Store app in this case. Looking at the Play Store's AndroidManifest.xml, the PackageVerificationReceiver component is what listens for that intent.

With root access, it should be possible to disable just that component without breaking other functionality by running:

pm disable com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.verifier.impl.PackageVerificationReceiver

To reenable:

pm default-state com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.verifier.impl.PackageVerificationReceiver

Without root access, disabling the Play Store completely (if you don't need it) via the normal Android settings should also do the trick.

There isn't one, but you're not going to get that answer from someone whose paycheck depends on there being a point.

Thus, you get this strategy of trying to make Mozilla survive post-Firefox, even though everyone knows the music stops when the Google money stops.
> Instead i'll just drop youtube

I’d pay $100 if there was some way to legitimately verify this because it’s nonsense IMO.

How is getting you to pay a reasonable subscription or watch ads in exchange for videos you ostensibly enjoy “gaming you”?
Could be, but sometimes the description of an object can be quite involved if it's constructed in some bizarre form (e.g., the intersections of some already complicated objects, for instance)
You're probably thinking of libreddit, which indeed shut down when Reddit's API access was shut off. Now most libreddit instances out there either return a 429 error or simply don't exist anymore.

Nitter on the other hand has been doing fine on my end. Instances with heavy traffic, such as nitter.net, do frequently run into rate limiting errors. But if you use relatively more obscure instances, then almost nothing has changed.
Please pay for YouTube Premium if you can afford it and watch a lot of videos. It's not cheap to stream and store the insane amounts of data they handle and I think it's a genuinely fair price.

If everyone just constantly tries to circumvent YouTube's evolving adblock-detection methods, at some point YouTube is going to do something drastic.

There's no way of knowing what they might resort to, but usually efforts to thwart the pirates end up hurting the legitimate paying customers instead.

There aren't many online platforms/services that I think provide enough value to justify their own existence, nevermind sending them money on a monthly basis. YouTube Premium though is most certainly one of the exceptions.

Not even touching on the uploading and live streaming aspects, just the fact that you can stream full HD content 24/7 to multiple devices, embed the videos on other websites and it works perfectly with essentially zero down time is incredible. Paying like $10 a month to avoid any advertising at all PLUS access to their music streaming service... subscribing is such a no-brainer to me.
At $job we are forced to use [Autosys Job Automation](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/i...). It can handle everything except 5, I think. But that somewhat huge system which hardly can be called cron replacement.
I also wonder what widely accepted mathematical conjectures were later proven to be wrong (for example, a hypothetical answer would be if it was proved that P = NP, since most computer scientists today believe that P =/= NP).
The problem is higher than zero intrest rates the free money dried up where before all the platforms were chasing infinte growth and free money meant they could run deficts as long as they grew they now need to make a profit now that debt costs money plus investor cash got sucked away to Bonds, CDs, and money market accounts giving a safe 5-7%.
This is why every service went to shit at the same time in the past year.
I don't care if Google is sustainable in the long term or not, just like they don't care if they serve me malicious content and malware via their ad networks, or take money, and show me ads, from groups that want people like me dead.
No problem :) Thanks to yourself for releasing AutoExpert! I just got around to testing the Developer Edition and it certainly exceeded my expectations. On the first try it managed to solve a performance issue with one python class of mine which the default gpt4 could never do. Also the ability to export and import the "memory" will be incredibly helpful. Tbh I'm still a bit shocked on how much of a difference prompting can make when combined with interpreter, really makes you think what kind stuff will be possible in the upcoming years.
You've missed the point completely. What you're talking about only applies to programmers who apply for the job you have listed. The programmers a company wants to hire have options that don't require a cover letter. Why should they spend the time to write you a detailed cover letter when their other options don't have that requirement? They won't apply at all.

So, who applies to your open position? Programmers who don't have any other options and are desperate for a job. They probably won't pass your interview. You now have a sales funnel that is filtering out the candidates you want and only giving you the ones you don't want. Then you get to be yet another company that complains about how hard it is to find competent programmers.

The exception to all of the above is if you're one of the companies everybody wants to work at. Then you can require whatever you want and people will still apply.

I’m a systemd fan, but managing unit files is definitely a pain. The units and timers I’ve written get thrown in `/lib/systemd/system` (or `/etc/systemd/system/`, who knows) along with a ton of the OS’s unit files.

My cover letter has always been a 3 row 2 column chart. Column 1 is a job requirement/ideal candidate trait from the job post. Column 2 is an example of how I meet that requirement. I limit it to what seem to be the top 3 asks from the company.

The result is a quickly scannable, pretty direct and memorable cover letter.

> The phrase “from the river to the sea” was used by the PLO since 1964, a time when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza. It’s unambiguously a reference to eliminating the state of Israel.

The meaning of a phrase is not fixed by its origin. A lot of people using the phrase today weren’t even born then. I’m sure many of them mean it in the exact same sense that the PLO meant it in 1964-but can we be sure that everyone who currently uses it means it that way? I don’t think we can, it seems entirely plausible that some of its users have reinterpreted it to refer to a more moderate position

We seem to be talking at cross-purposes.

You seemed to use the fact that a car was used as a taxi in Europe as evidence that the car is not luxurious.

My point is that cars used as taxis in Europe are often from upmarket segments, so it's not good evidence that a car is not luxurious (relatively - we're talking MB/BMW class here).

This does not mean I'm saying that a specific Mercedes from the 1960s was or was not luxurious. I find it hard to imagine any car from the 1960s would be luxurious by modern standards, my experience of older cars is they were very much metal tins on wheels.
