We have a long, long way to go before Earth could be considered hot by historical standards. The IPCC worst-case warming scenario, where we do absolutely nothing to curtail global warming, puts us back at the midpoint in 2100.
I use Kagi (along with DuckDuckGo) and I really appreciate the quality of their search results, but if you care about privacy do not use their Safari extension.

Due to a Safari limitation, all the queries are leaked to the previously selected default search engine https://kagifeedback.org/d/1575-ios-extension-leaking-search...

In addition to this, since all the search attempts are being redirected to Kagi, you can’t use any other search engine unless you deactivate the extension and this prevents you from trying the same query on different engines.

P.S: as far as I understand, they don’t have much freedom with the implementation and everything would be much easier if Safari allowed to customise the search engines, but I’m not sure this limitation is being properly communicated to the users (unless I missed some warning during extension installation)

> I’m not surprised when I meet someone who speaks English, Hindi, Sanskrit, French, along with their native language or a couple more Indian languages.

Many Indians do speak two or three languages, but 99% of Indians will not be speaking 5 languages so not sure why even bring it up, assuming its not a false story.

I’ve always liked to speculate that using polite language is rewarded by openAI either by elevating the customers client score elevating the resources available to them if there uneven is such a thing.

I have no idea why but maybe it’s the kind of thing I’d push for if I was CEO to try and help make the world a more civil place maybe even as some form of Easter egg or light hearted prank.

Just my 2 cents
MathJax has better MathML support.
The major gripe i have with smartphones is that these are not general purpose computing devices like for example a Thinkpad (or any other type of computer) which allow for developing and installing alternate operating systems beyond the limits imposed by Android or that Apple OS thing.

The Pinephone was a great idea but it never become what it promised to be. Mine has essentially become electronic waste due to its lacking functionality.

I'd rather have a handheld computer with an alternate operating system and a replaceable phone communication module than any of the available options on the smartphone market.

You can buy a lot of food, and still don't waste it. I buy a lot of food, but waste almost nothing. With three school going kids, our schedule is packed, and having a stocked fridge that lasts Monday to Friday saves time in our daily schedule. I also cook more than we can eat at supper so the kids have leftovers to take to school the next day. Our fridge is often as full as it can get, but everything gets used up. In the rare case where something is wasted, it's because I miscalculated something.
This will be hard to implement. If I got an email because I live on xx then I moved to xxx what will happen to my old email? and would I be getting a new email for the new address. Privacy issue a side as you don't want the next resident to know your history of stuff you got... bla bla. We can solve it by requiring dynamic mapping between email address and physical address. But then your email will be tied to you as a person. Which ironically will mean that whoever got hold of this email will always be able to send you ads.

It would much harder to get an email for each address you have and preventing re-using it will require some effort.

I don't think a universal email will work in the US. The US does not even have a national ID and many Americans does not have passports (because a lot of then will never need one).
If you need to stick with crontab entries (perhaps they are generated/managed by some other software), it should be possible to write a systemd generator[1] to generate the required timer/service units from the crontab file(s).

Apple has the biggest cash reserve of any company in the world.

Xcode is most certainly not free, at the minimum you need an apple computer. So you must pay apple to use it.

If it sucks, it's not because a lack of money, it's because Apple doesn't care.

Which model did you try it on? I just tested it with the default gpt4 and it gave the system prompt 5 out of 5 tries. It also works on dall-e, advanced data analysis and plugins (each worked 2 out of 2 tries). It seems to have problem with the web browsing version though. If you're trying with the free version of chatgpt it won't work because that is using GPT-3.5.
> It could also be argued that 16-year olds could have been given a say in their entire future

Having chatted to a few of that age group about the subject, I agree. That generation is also more flexible, more mobile than the last, so I doubt they would think twice about leaving the UK in pursuit of better opportunities abroad.

I mean, if I was 16 again, moving to the EU for Schengen access alone would be highly attractive !

> the euro and schengen

The UK was never going to join the euro, that was one of the major carve-outs. There are also other EU countries operating outside the euro and highly-unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

Technically the UK was not in Schengen, sure, again it was another UK carve-out. But with the EU passport there was no practical difference for the holder, you had the same freedom of movement in the Schengen area as a UK(EU) passport holder.

Leaving the EU also meant loss of access to EU security databases etc., which is why "stopping the boats" is harder from outside than within.
The concern with rice is the bacteria spores that lives in rice (and pasta) survive the cooking process and multiply rapidly in prepared rice at room temperature. So you just have to store the rice in the refrigerator immediately (which most people do).

https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/food-and-diet/can...

Every few years you get a story like "man dies after eating rice stored on the counter for two weeks." But most people aren't doing that. But some people, I guess, don't understand that cooked rice is a food that requires refrigeration.

I have represented myself `pro se` (no lawyer) in a state court and a state Supreme Court. One of the fundamental things I have learned is that lawyers and courts work on what is "cost effective".

The way this works is that a lawyer says it is not worth while to take something to court - "... what that would cost in Superior Court..." In this the "cost" lawyers are calculating is not your cost but theirs - and I would suspect the same with the insurance agency.

Lawyers are driven by profit period. Not all lawyers certainly, but almost all. (note 1). Your case may have merit, and it may be cost effective for you. But, if it won't be profitable for the lawyers they won't want to do it. And profitable depends on two things. The first is the amount of work.

For example, lets take a divorce case. Most divorces, no matter what, go down a well worn path. The lawyers have boiler plate forms, probably know each other, know the judge. It is like a well oiled dance. The actual work they need to do versus the work they can bill is very low. If you are a programmer, this would be like you just wrote a program and now someone wants you to write almost exactly the same program.

For this profit to work, the clients - that would be you - need to go along and not go outside the well-worn-path.

The second dependency is your chance of winning. You might think this depends on the merits of your case, but that is your issue - not the lawyers. The lawyer is evaluating odds. If they have two cases, one with a 90% chance of winning and yours with a 50% chance of winning they take the 90. Things that affect their odds are who the opposing lawyer is, who the judge is. You may have a case, but the judge may have a reputation for having a grudge against people like you. Or your lawyer may have just lost too many times against the other lawyer.

And no sane, profit oriented lawyer will contemplate appealing your case. It is just too expensive and time consuming.

I'm just trying to give you the lay of the land, because there is a kicker here. As a person representing yourself, you can appeal a case. And if you have a case, time and diligence you can pursue a wrong all the way to the US Supreme Court. In appealing a case - and I mean a case where you understand the law and have merit - you break the ordained dance. Suddenly the math for the lawyers and even the judge does not work any more.

I urge people who can do this to do it. Lawyers and to some extent judges, have gamified our courts in the interest of lawyer profit.

But I would be selling you a bill of goods if I did not raise the stress factor. You were absolutely correct: "there was the associated stress to her and partner ...."

Thanks for posting and sharing.

Note 1. For example in New Hampshire lawyer operated, free phone line you can call. But they will only answer questions if the case you want to know about is not about you getting money. Then you have to get a lawyer. But then the "cost effective" part comes into play and lawyers will not take your case.

Your main critic doesn't really hold much water since distros and the kernel is pretty much the only "designers" of Linux.

Systemd would be an exception I would admit, but there doesn't seem to be much interest from the BSD to port or attempt to use the systemd fork or openrc.

OpenBSD does have interesting projects, but why would a game needs their own audio server.

Not only that but openbsd isn't exactly releasing big new innovations a cross the board, but usually small security focused or KISS versions of something.

Stability is also what you make of it, while it's true that BSD probably have a higher uptime than say fedora rawhide, it's selection of software and not breaking them is a whole other thing.
Laconic.
I don't see why UK citizens abroad should get a vote; they should vote abroad.

You're right that 16 year olds deserve a vote. It's their future, and 16 year olds are smart and politically engaged.

Also there were huge other legitimacy issues, like dodgy donations. And data breaches and highly, highly targeted advertising, allowing Cambridge Analytics to buy a result.

That's on top of the leave prospectus (essentially, EFTA + EEA, before the vote) being reinterpreted as the hardest Brexit imaginable.

Controversy sells, which is a shorter and more accurate way of saying "If it bleeds, it leads"

I've been looking at how much a quality PR firm costs (nothing less than $10k/m, all the way up to $100k/m for more exposure).

I've half a mind to cultivate an incredibly controversial position before launching my startup's product.

The media coverage of "lelanthran, founder and CEO or $COMPANY, producing $PRODUCT, had this to say about the round-earth conspiracy!" is bound to be worth a few $100k at least in publicity, at least.
Same for BW, same for chess, that's basically how ELO/MMR works. The very bottom (and the very top) of the ladder of course have a skew, there are people who are so bad (or so good) that the ladder can't find anyone worse (better) than them and get less than (or more than) 50% winrate. It's just that the skill floor for BW is so damn high.
I find the whole concept of "windows" a pretty strange analogy.

Windows?

That's not how people at an office used to work, looking through windows all day, resizing them (what?) and moving them around.

The "desktop" feels nothing like a real physical desktop.

A desktop used to be an extended working memory, where you had all the papers, books and tools that you currently needed for your task.

The only thing they've managed to replicate from the physical world is that pile of stuff you've been meaning to get rid off for a while.

By my reading the rate-limiting case was covered as the exception in a latter part of the comment ("This could be useful in rare case when you have a very big firewall able to limit the number of sessions toward your small inside-server.")

But in the usual case you'll block connection attempts to the wrong port statelessly, and there's no benefit in tracking the served sessions in an external firewall.
I recently completed a project building a distributed web crawler using Golang. The architecture is inspired by how Google designed its crawler.

I wrote a detailed series tutorial explaining my design decisions and how I implemented each component:

Part 1 - Architecture overview: https://medium.com/p/7f4281f9f539

Part 2 - Code walkthrough: https://medium.com/p/7a9b9a1e3829

The full source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/tonywangcn/distributed-web-crawler

Some key highlights:

Uses Redis + Bloom Filters for fast de-duplication
Built a distributed queue with Redis for assigning scraping tasks
Persists scraped data to MongoDB
Implemented exponential backoff for retries
Collects real-time stats using Redis Hashes

This was a great learning experience for me to build a complex distributed system. Let me know if you have any feedback on the architecture, code, or tutorial writeup! I'm hoping this can be a useful resource for anyone wanting to learn more about scraping system design.
If you read my comment or the Wikipedia page you'll see clear as day that varient 2 is meant for windows, so I dont get this correction.

Brexit passed by 2%, and had it been sold as “hard Brexit” it wouldn’t have passed at all. Academia was overwhelmingly opposed. The idea that “the UK is slowly realizing” this just seems odd and not in line with the reality of the situation
I read somewhere that saying things are important for your career makes chatGPT do a better job (probably on Hacker News), so I sound like someone on a children’s show and often say something like “this is important to my career, let’s both really focus and do a good job!” I’m convinced it’s helping, and figure it can’t hurt!

The whole thing is this weird combination of woo and high technology that’s absolutely wild.

I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So I wrote a tool with a config that looks kinda like a crontab, but uses systemd (or launchd on mac) behind the scenes: https://github.com/karlicoss/dron#what-does-it-do

E.g. a simplest job definition looks like this

job(every(mins=10), 'ping https://beepb00p.xyz', unit_name='ping-beepb00p')

But also it's possible to add more properties, e.g. arbirary systemd properties, or custom notification backends (e.g. telegram message or desktop notification)

Since it's python, I can reuse variables, use for loops, import jobs from other files (e.g. if there are shared jobs between machines), and check if it's valid with mypy.

Been using this for years now, and very happy, one of the most useful tools I wrote.

It's a bit undocumented and messy but if you are interested in trying it out, just let me know, I'm happy to help :)
I wonder how things are going to change now that free money has gone away, and profit is top of mind again in business. Hosting content requires moderation, and without lots of free money, that's got to be pared down quite a bit, society wide. Will the laws change to reflect this? Will social expectations?

I'd hazard a guess that AI would be used to fill in, but as it's currently subsidized by the same free money, it'll probably get a lot more expensive too.

The article's leading "OMG, how horrible!!!" line seems to be:

> While the drones are designed to target vehicles such as tanks, rather than infantry, it is almost certain that the resulting explosions are killing Russian soldiers without a direct command from a human operator...

Back in the war zone, soldiers and innocents have to deal with a huge variety of threats, which can be conceptualized as having various degrees of determinism, human agency, and randomness.

From the PoV of a Russian soldier who wants to live (vs. get an "A+" on his Philosophy 483 term paper) - how is that drone really different from land mines, artillery and mortar fire, suppressive small arms fire, "non-AI" rockets & missiles, booby traps, "oops!" friendly fire, etc.? Zero of those things are carefully checking his dog tags, personal morals, or "legitimate enemy combatant in a war zone" legal status.
Unstructured code blooms into a rats nest of if/else statements with complex flags calling into other functions. There ultimately becomes no good way to avoid regressions and no way to make guarantees about what can be added in the current "architecture". Working with people that splat this code is not necessarily bad as long as you are allowed to refactor it when the time comes.
It bears repeating the obvious fact that Hamas != 4 year old child inside Gaza. Israel is punishing that 4 year old child for the crimes of Hamas.

Many people on both sides have no empathy for innocents of the other. It's natural in a war situation. In moments like this our human psychology is designed to pick a tribe, then put the other side in a homogeneous collective, then strip them of individuality, and apply hate and dehumanization to the collective based on the actions of its most sociopathic members. Please find a way to surpass this natural response. That 4 year old child didn't choose to be born in Gaza. It's stuck there. And now it's being deprived of water and food because Israel decided they were "human animals".

If you care about Israel's future, you should want this to stop. There is a lot of genocidal thinking running in the brains of Israel's leader. See Isaac Herzog's comments and the Defense Minister's comments. This could escalate into a genocide quickly, the psychological conditions for that are ripe. And that would be a tragedy for Israel's future. It will lose all international support, and become a pariah. Its small economy will be bankrupted by the impossible challenge of occupying 2 million people who hate them. There is no future in the path that is being followed.
