Signal is finally copying what Telegram has implemented since long ago? Do people in the West simply do not care about hiding their number (judging by WhatsApp and Signal)?
I had the privilege and good fortune to introduce a diverse group of highschoolers to Scratch as an intro to programming around 2013/2014, it was a lot of fun! A few of them seemed pretty hooked and were doing some wild things pretty quickly, I imagine at least a couple pursued it further. Reminded me a bit of like ~2005 Flash community.
That’s fair. For a keyboard I agree: mine has Bluetooth I’ve never used before. For a mouse though the lack of a cable is nice for playing FPSes and my work setup does double duty as my gaming setup.
That's one of the cruxes of the lawsuit: whether that kind of thing is true, and if it is, whether it constitutes antitrust to take advantage of it. If search engines overlap 99.9% in quality, default might win purely because users are lazy and uninterested in understanding the application domain.

Personal opinion: it sticks in my craw a little if it turns out you can be a monopolist by just working to be the default search engine because users are too lazy to try switching. That's a weird way to interpret the "consumer harm" cornerstone of American antitrust.
To use a marriage analogy, autonomy (bounded) is consensual separation where the injured party has initiative and control over their actions. Apartheid would be the husband restricting the wife to a certain area of the house and beating her everyday.

Autonomy is the best way to preserve culture. A tiny minority living among people who do not share their values will eventually lose any connection to their past due to assimilation unless they adopt extreme orthodoxy like the Amish/Mennonites/Haredim (who too have to form ghettos to achieve their goals).
This I think that yeah FF is losing badly on desktop, but it doesn't help that the majority of people use mobile and Google/Apple have created a duopoly on mobile... it very literally should be an antitrust, and quick before it's too late for any other competing engine to catch up.

I think we'll get to the point where they have had monopoly for so long that their policy making that they get to dictate as a result will be so ingrained inside of the web that it will be non reversible.
During an acquisition if there's no meaningful revenue headcount is what matters. This was 100% on the CEO.
I also then wonder how many people go out and install Chrome. Edge is bundled in. It's the default. Going out and installing Chrome would be considered an even bigger challenge than just changing a setting.

Maybe nobody uses the default anyway and they just type "google" into the bing bar before they do any searches.
And all of the events it is being compared about are at least an order of magnitude bigger than the Carrington event.

This should not surprise us, by the way. I'd expect major solar storms to follow a Zipf's law distribution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law

That means that the power is inversely proportional to the frequency. This is common. You see it in word frequency, river length, population sizes of cities, etc.

So over a 15,000 year period, the biggest solar flare should be about 2x as big as the next biggest. And random Miyake events, which we've had 9 of over roughly 50,000 years, should be about 10x as big as a once every 160 year event like the Carrington event probably was.

All very rough, of course. But it may help give some intuition.
Only if there still is a group health plan to pay for. If the company has shut down, there is no health plan, and therefore no COBRA. (Although, in general, with ACA, marketplace plans are not clearly worse than COBRA would have been.)
Reading your question again, I should clarify - it's not quite compositing a random background under the 2d image. it's using stable diffusion to "in-paint" a background that makes sense spatially, with correct shadows, lighting and perspective to match your prompt. That being said, there's still a lot to be done to deeply integrate the 3D and 2D spaces and that's just going to be part of the ongoing exploration in this project.

By definition, a startup is any newly established company. We can argue over how much time defines what is newly established, but can't argue that the size, revenue, or money raised define what is new.
This is not exactly the reason, but trace length/loss is a major problem.

Laptop SODIMMs are already severely limiting DDR5 bandwidth, server/desktop DIMMs are getting close.

Users aren't gonna like it, but unswappable packaged RAM is coming to most CPUs.
You know, it's rather impressive the lengths the US will goto to avoid socialized/single-payer health plans (for anyone who isn't in the military or poor or over 65 at least). That sounds rather cockamamy to me.

What's interesting to me is that in twenty years we've gone from "use the internet with parental supervision, don't use your real name, and don't talk to strangers online" to making platforms pick up the slack of parents and law enforcement to prevent predators talking to kids.

Now I'm not saying that platforms like Discord shouldn't be doing a better job policing things, but it's also shocking to me how much the expectations of these platforms has changed in twenty years. AIM was way worse than Discord is today. Predators used to hang out on Runescape and Neopets. I feel like we're taking too much onus off of parents to monitor their kids online access.
> Nevertheless, while there has been a lot of interest in the use of Constraints-led Approach (CLA) and Nonlinear Pedagogy (NLP) in enhancing teaching, coaching and learning, there remains many questions about how CLA and NLP can be delivered at the “coalface” (i.e., on the training field, practice gym, playing field, etc.).

very strange use of language here.. this appears to be about conscious sports, but clothed in language referring to "the environment" repeatedly
Can have, not that you'll actually get that warning every time.

The Carrington Event followed the magnetic field lines of a previous flare and the particle flux reached Earth much faster than expected.
It's not just rebooting. There will be damage even in stored brand-new equipment
MY favorite party of dalle3 in chatgpt+ is being able to conversationally ask for changes to the output. I am a big fan of SD, but this is very very good.
That article has an odd cadence to it.

Depends on what you mean by metadata. MP4 metadata is data inside the file - and is modified by server-side-copy semantics that replaces only the bits that are changed. If you mean POSIX metadata, we avoid storing that in the object, and for performance store that elsewhere (it's encoded and compressed in the actual filename of hidden files).
The average person sees it as "AI" like we think of from the movies. It's a machine brain that can think and communicate. In reality it's just a really good text generator that's really good at sounding confident.
I turned it off as soon as it was debuted.

What you're meant to do is, of course, run it on Kubernetes, which is largely the same (it's containers all the way down) except it's configured differently, you can now think about scaling out (on several nodes), you have actual health/liveness checks and policies for rolling out new versions, restarting, etc.

It's k8s! We all love to hate it, but at least the industry has sorta standardized around it, so that makes commiserating easier.

And because penpot is made up of three services (backend, exporter, frontend — not counting postgres and redis), although you could technically deploy all three of them separately, the idiomatic and era-appropriate thing to do at the time of this writing is to use a helm chart, which lets you deploy several resources at once.

This event is twice as powerful as the previously known largest event, which is at least 10X as powerful as the largest event in recorded human history, back in the 1800s, which set telegraph poles on fire. So, yeah, it's a big Twinkee.

> The New York Times dubbed Pandu Nayak, a Google vice president of search, "the face" of Google's defense, which is that it's not Google's access to more data that keeps Google leagues ahead of competitors in search, it's "brilliant people, working tirelessly to improve its products."

The notion that data isn't absolutely critical is a bold-faced lie and Pandu knows it. The usefulness of any proposed change to the search algorithm cannot be decided without sufficient user traffic to run an experiment. Every single change - even very minor tweaks - goes through user experiments on live traffic. The more traffic you have, the more experiments you can run concurrently and the quicker they converge on statistically significant results. The smartest engineers in the world cannot replace the value of live, experimentable user traffic.

Pandu knows this because he's the one ultimately responsible for the weights of the various metrics used to decide which experiments are launchable, and for enforcing that policies and the culture around running those experiments are in-place and followed.
Having used many TB3/4 cables recently I can say that if it's Thunderbolt certified and from one of the larger industry players you would probably be fine

That makes a lot of sense actually, thanks for the insight! I guess that kind of chimes with the Dutch passion for preservation as well, with the salted herring etc. Anything you can preserve you can sell further afield as well!

You also reminded me of something I heard on the great History of the Netherlands podcast from the University of Amsterdam. Apparently back in the day in Friesland they would tether their cows to something and let them float when the regular flooding came.

But speaking of the flooding: I can see how that would be bad for other kinds of crops, but surely seaweed would actually be pretty notable for dealing well water? Sounds like even more reason why I'd expect to see it as part of the culinary traditions here.
Going by the title: what's to stop people from paying the $1, and then let a bot take the wheel & do everything bots were doing before?

Only temporary ofcourse, until the "pay $1 & proof you're human" is automated too.

$1 To replace a human (account) isn't that expensive for say, a propaganda campaign, is it?
I guess it depends on the phone but iPhones allow users to share their music with a buddy. Note it does require use of their headphones:

Depending on the legal environment, maybe. But it's not as if c-suite positions have zero job screening. They have a different screening process which includes other things that lower level positions don't have to do.
That's awesome! We couldn't have built any of this without Selenium, definitely standing on the shoulders of giants :)

Right now we have the basic sanity check that the Selenium xpath selects exactly one element in the DOM. Going forward I think the best way to do this is to have a live preview where you can see the mirrored browser copy your last action and debug if it errors or isn't what you wanted.
Leaving it up to what people are willing and capable of doing sounds as fair as can be to me. That's what competition is there for. It also is not perfect, but it is better.

I expect to get dogpiled on Hacker News though. The demographic here has a fondness of rules. We give computers rules. That fondness translates to non-technical fields, for better or for worse. In this case, worse.
I heard a (likely apocryphal) story that selling govcloud service would require drug testing for employees that had any access at all to those systems. The story goes that the engineering leader laughed their sales counterpart making the proposal out of the room because they expected to lose
approximately a third of their employee base to such nonsense. This was before marijuana legalization became so widespread, I assume some kind of reality has taken hold now such that the requirements are achievable by a tech population that, anecdotally, smokes a lot of weed off hours.

I still think that BEVs are going to be nothing more than a subsidies propelled niche product. Only one who REALLY wants BEVs to happen are OEM manufactures who invested lot of money into chasing castles in the sky, without actually thinking if people are going to buy more expensive car with lower convenience of use than general ICE.

And I am saying that as owner of Skoda Enyaq.

This is a better argument, as opposed to the "power of defaults" stuff that has dominated this case. There's a contradiction, though:

Is google OVERPAYING so that apple won't start their own search engine?

Or is google UNDERPAYING because the power of defaults is so incredibly high?
There's no particular reason Epyc couldn't be in a tower, and these are 300+ W CPUs, so aircraftiness is still on the table.
I guess when you get people to pay for your product who REALLY REALLY don't want to, where every fiber of them screams, I DON'T WANT TO PAY, you got a winner on your hands. When a friend of mine spent $20 a month on a ChatGPT subscription, I couldn't believe it, he is very frugal with this stuff as well.

Great description. And most importantly, it was possible to choose C IP address to test if other machines on the network had special privileges and ports open. This allowed to penetrate C to gain access to B.

The fact that they're using Punycode is only a secondary problem.

The first one is that Google Ads allow you to show an arbitrary URL below your ad without you showing that you own it.

The second one is allowing the URL shown to be different from where you send the users.

But I would like to see an option to render URLs as Punycode, and not their original form.
My company is also a Figma customer but for many diagramming stuff, more business oriented, I find Google Slides very handy for simple diagrams and good magnet connectors. In a distant the past I pivoted from Visio to Draw.io but always feel that draw.io seems like unfinished work after many years.

If you paste text into ChatGPT and then ask about specific information within the text, it's pretty good at answering.

Yes, that's me (mid 20s). I learned using Scratch in middle school, made a lot of tiny games for me and my friends, and then learned Python in high school (with C++ fairly shortly afterwards).

Scratch shields you from learning how data is represented even more than Python, and at that age all I wanted to do was make video games. My first "wow" moment was learning how Scratch platformers changed the "offset" to bring objects into view but didn't actually move my characters left and right.

For software jobs? No, they aren't very common. But they are not unheard of.
If you feel like you're being left out on access to Threads, open a Google image search of some of your favorite brand logos - Wendy's, Dr Scholl's, etc. And then imagine some hilarious corporate-culture-friendly conversations that could happen between those brands as written between social media interns.

e.g.

Wendy's - "Boy, my feet are tired from doing Fortnight dances!"

Dr Scholl's reply - "We've got just the products to keep you hitting the griddy for hours! LMBO!"

The remainder of the experience is engagement farming.
It's always been funny to me the hoops the EU had to force the browser vendors to jump through.

"Pop up a selection screen."

"Okay."

"No, you're still listing your favorite partner as the first option. Randomize the options on every install."

"Okay."

I'm partially surprised the commission didn't complain about the choice of randomization algorithm. How much more signal do regulators need that users do. Not. Care?
The problem is the perverse incentive of the market currents. It doesn't matter how you do it, just make the product work before the competition does (an cheaper). If anything crops up, you'll fix it later. AI promises just that and will act as a negative feedback loop for our understanding of the code. The result is Idiocracy scenario where people are just too dumb to realize that the AI organizing the society is not that intelligent.
> I needed to make diagram,s so I compared a few options and quickly settled on "draw.io"

So this not rules out that he didn't at some point. But still to my graphic designer eyes choosing either Inkscape (and even more, Figma) for doing simple diagrams is really, really weird.

* Disclaimer: I'm a heavy Inkscape user, it's been one of my main tools for all of uni and my professional work since 2006 - yes, it has some unpolished details here and there, but still it's great and (for me) miles better than any paid non-free tool
Interestingly the Netherlands is actually one of the biggest markets for vegan cheese altnernatives. Many people here, even if they aren't vegan, try to limit their reliance on animal products for health, climate related or other moral reasons.
Given that you were in the company and presumably have an idea of how the company functions: where did the funding go? $260M gone in 1 year?

"Convoy, which raised $260 million in a funding round last year that valued the business at $3.8 billion, on Wednesday told employees in an email that it would stop accepting shipments until further notice and that it was rescheduling or canceling existing loads." (wsj)
Is a fact that early Europeans ate sea urchins. We still do the same.

Therefore, early Europeans ate also the many different red, brown, and green algae that came in each urchin stomach. This predigested small pieces is what gives the urchins its special flavor. You can't ate one, and not the other.

This does not mean that they would eat directly the same algae raw. They are a cocktail of chemicals. not easy to eat in any significant amount without processing.

I can buy the idea of people eating the water lily starchy but acrid rhizomes as an emergency food in winter. Everything else is poisonous if I'm not wrong. They have narcotic properties, so another possibility is that they would chew is as a primitive painkiller for tooth decay. Red algae have a lot of chemicals also that could act as primitive cures.

Modern research techniques are wonderful, but if the humans lack of the ability to include instinct, observation, logical thinking and link facts; their results will try to run wild into full gallop. They can be more a trap than a solution if not filtered by common sense.
Yeah optane seemed like it had so much potential -- with the right abstractions, it neatly dealt with the eternal problem of the separation between RAM and disk. Much of DB and storage system engineering comes down to decisions around when to persist what, and optane was very promising in allowing for new architectures that had much better performance at lower complexity.

Alas, optane's dead now. I do know people actively working on resurrecting a lot of pmem work on low-latency flash, however, and it seems like this is one area with a low of momentum behind it.

My navel-gazing take (as a very early Convoy person):

It is really hard to get the kind of exponential efficiency gains in this space that a 'blitzscale'-focused startup needs in order to really succeed.

Trucking is an industry that relies heavily on relationships (trucker <-> broker, broker <-> shipper, broker <-> facility, etc), and you're not going to change that (required for true automation) without already being at an absurdly large scale.

Convoy spent too much effort on chasing things that had the potential to give the company those exponential gains without addressing the high-touch nature of the industry (but were just not a good fit, and ultimately fell flat).

And Convoy—conversely—had very little incentive to spend most of its effort on iterative improvements to the core brokerage (which would have probably led to profitability, but not the kind of returns that VCs ultimately want)
The last time we had a significant solar storm was during the telegraph age, the Carrington Event of 1859:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

"telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving their operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks"

No doubt this historical one is much more significant, but even another 1859 Carrington would be a huge disaster - the lead time and transportation logistics for things like power station transformers can be months especially if now you need 100 of them
My first experience was Java through AP COMPSCI. Born in late 90s.
Selectors have been our primary focus so far – they're notoriously finicky! Our roadmap includes more extensive use of AI, both as embedded intelligence, and in the code generation process. For example, one thing we've heard from heavy users of browser automation is that maintenance becomes the largest cost. Self-healing automations will be able to either fix themselves, our give you an alert with a suggested fix to work off of.

Imagine the moral dilemma if they strike oil five layers down.
I'm not familiar with UI.Vision but from looking at their website briefly it looks like the resulting automations they are part of their system/UI. We think that output as code is the way to go, so that you don't have to learn a new UI/language, aren't locked in and can integrate it into a larger project.
