Thanks for all the additional info! I should have added that my preference is for the definition of a unified gospel throughout the codebase/organization, Google's just being the one we ended up picking.

>Working with tabs allows everyone to work on the same codebase with their own preference.

This is where the problem starts. As someone who has to integrate code from a dozen devs, it seems that everyone has a sligthly different usage of tabs (TFA adding one more). If we can ever set everyone on the same page with tabs, I am fine with it. It's just that in production it always seems to cause problems. Spaces are easier to specify.

For the case of disability support, I'd risk to guess that different usages of tabs would end up derailing accessibility software just as much as it derails integration. But I'd prefer deferring this opinion to someone who has experience with it.

Lactoferrin is also able to kill SARS-CoV-2.

In 2020 I had lactoferrin on fabric tested by a university laboratory for a potential product. The product didn't go anywhere after that, but it was conclusively shown that lactoferrin did inactivate the virus by about 92% instantly and 98% in a minute.

If you want to use it as a mouthwash, the product Salivea (a quite pleasant product with a horrible name) has lactoferrin as one of the ingredients.

If you know it came from a lab then there's a chance that the lab workers have knowledge that can help fight it. If you lie and claim it couldn't have come from a lab, that whole line of investigation gets closed off.

> they were overly optimistic about policy and vaccination uptake

They were overly pessimistic and were making those claims back when they thought they'd only get 60-70% uptake. This is the famous Fauci admission that his claims about herd immunity were made up in response to opinion polls. Uptake was higher than expected and effectiveness was drastically lower.

This business whereby scientists are always innocent, it's only politicians and the media that misrepresent them, is crap. Scientists lied and manipulated a naive and plastic public deliberately in order to protect and advance their own careers, they did it at scale and nobody in that community seems to care. Smart people now understand that scientists are both less honest and less wise than both politicians and journalists as a group. At least the latter groups have strong internal competition and different factions trying to establish what's true. Scientists seem to behave as a bloc regardless of what's right or wrong.
It's the kind of thing I thought had been handled way back in the 90s when AOL was rightly ridiculed from stopping people from entering the town Scunthorpe as their location because of a certain substring it contained.
What is Semgrep?
Semgrep is an open-source static analysis tool designed for identifying and preventing software vulnerabilities and code quality issues in source code. It is particularly well-suited for use in the field of application security.

The name "Semgrep" is a fusion of "semantic" and "grep," signifying that Semgrep is a command-line utility for text searching that possesses an understanding of source code semantics.

Semgrep uses a pattern-oriented matching methodology to look for particular code patterns or criteria within the source code. These patterns are expressed using a unique syntax that mirrors the code you seek, facilitating custom rule creation.

The tool has an active community that contributes to its development and maintains a repository of community rules. They rules cover a wide range of programming languages and security concerns, making it easier for users to get started with meaningful checks. In their registry on the website, you can find the sets of these rules that Semgrep developers have created. For example, the rule set matches the patterns of OWASP TOP 10 vulnerabilities.

Create your own custom rules, which you can contribute to the Semgrep registry and share with others in the future. So, let's have a closer look at the main Semgrep rules

What is the null hypothesis, and what is the experiment that rejects it? That seems not to be the approach. This is a philosophical stance, and as such, unless it connects to something practical it has no value.

And as it violates anything practical, any/all function and reality of modern society, it is simply a dead meat at arrival (at least for this observer).
I didn't know I do actually imagine a year as a circle, but the illustration is so weird to me. Upon inspection, I imagine the year counter-clockwise with January starting at 5pm. Also, all months have colors (and these colors don't change in my mind – I knew that before).
I have to admit, while the US is technically richer I feel like the country is constantly plumbing the depths of decreasing livability for everyone else by insistence on things like gigantic trucks. The reality is that people usually aren't using them to haul big loads and in fact, due to how heavy the cars are themselves, actually are quite bad at hauling big loads. If challenged on why they need a vehicle of such size, of course suddenly they're hauling multiple tons around every evening.

> That avoids pulling _everything_ from disk in structured wrappers.

This is only really possible if the command you're wrapping allows filtering early on.

Something like kubernetes allowing to retreiving info about pods in certain states, instead of retrieving all pods and filtering afterwards.

Powershell puts a strong emphasis on this "filtering left" concept, that's why you have things like "gci" ("ls" equivalent), allowing you to pre-filter file types/names before a "where" clause, avoiding reading a lot of data.

There are transcripts in some podcasts. Try looking at the RSS feed for Podnews Daily - in your service as https://pods.ee/261 (look at today's, Oct 19, since there was a bug generating the SRT/TXT versions recently).

You'll find transcripts for some shows in SRT format, and some have JSON and TXT as well.

Use those transcripts if they exist, I reckon!

I've worked for a company in the UK which had a "staff association", which was orthogonal to any part of the business (i.e., no conflicting interests) and as such operated as a de facto union -- in the employee assistance and collective bargaining senses -- for the company's employees. While it was recognised by HR, ultimately its functions were incorporated by HR into the company as a matter of policy and the independent association was disbanded, amongst much consternation from the loss of true impartiality.
A youtube channel that turns one tweet of content into 30min video.
Hey, author here :)

Having enlightening experiences of learning requires effort. Anybody who wants to learn and thrive on any topic needs to make an effort to curate the sources he's consuming. That's not new. It certainly isn't an internet thing.

We've always paid to be entertained and educated. And money is earned with effort. When content wasn't as abundant, you needed to be selective with what you wanted to consume. You developed a taste, and continued to consume that type of content, hence basically becoming a curator of whatever your interest was.

The problem now, with all content being free, is that we pay with our time. And time is our most valuable currency.

So yes. Even though there's an initial effort curve to build a Second brain (or any other system you like), the end result is a much better internet experience.

I've had my Facebook account for years, I've used it as Facebook in it's early days and as blank business account with real name and passport details later. My ad spent was several thousand dollars over the years, and even thought Facebook was billing me for wrong clicks (10-30% did not fit my criteria, mostly wrong country) I went back again to publish some ads.

After a week or so Facebook suddenly banned all my ads about cotton masks my grandmum has sewn. I tried to publish one ad again and since then have been banned forever.

No way to contact, no way to ask why. No warning and no rule changes at this point.

I'm not sure that the benefit really pays off. AirDrop doesn't need network infrastructure but it does need a wi-fi adapter needs to support active monitor mode (it's extremely common for hardware to lack support for this).

The requirement for network infrastructure can be worked around by creating an ad-hoc wifi network.

Thanks so much -- I know that lots of things about my YouTube channel need to change in order for me to rack up more views. I'm slowly (very slowly!) making those adjustments, but as a one-person business, all of these things take time.

I've already seen a huge increase in YouTube subscribers since I started to make some changes, and I'm hoping that things will get even better over time.

If you've ditched the 9-5, a creator, founder or freelancer, we share a number of qualities that got us here.
Yet these qualities mean it could also happen to you.

Here's how to prevent it

Qualities that make us good at what we do:
* We put others first
* We're stoic and resilient
* We solve complex problems
* We work independently
* We take responsibility
* We're constantly challenging ourselves
* We're self sacrificing the now for a better future.

Sound familiar?

These very qualities were the major contributor to THAT event 6 months ago. Let me explain why I believe this.

Don't freak out.

You can keep your side-hustle, be a solopreneur, work on multiple projects while maintaining your health, but you must remain conscious.

In short, the root cause is #STRESS.

I'll share a blog post later with more of my story.

For now, I'm going to give you the easiest to implement and highest impact changes you can make:

I fully support national languages, ASCII is not suitable for a huge part of mankind. But it's obvious that Unicode as it is is not suitable for security critical applications. Myself, speaking several European languages, I need less than 10 Unicode characters (each of them actually still 8 bit ISO 8859-15 codes). Well, need and need, most of the sites don't even register a punycode domain, but some uglified ASCII version of their name.

As a practical step browsers should ask the user whether they want to allow URLs in a certain language the first time a non-ASCII character is entered. With just one or a couple of languages allowed, the attack surface would be drastically reduced for most users.
In 1984 they don't have laws, only crimes, so whatever you do, you have to guess if it is illegal and will be punished or not. It is on purpose to keep the population in constant fear

I take it the fact you're not sharing any sources is because your claim is either weak, out of context, or have never checked it yourself. Do we crucify Elon because he agreed on an unrelated topic with a person he did not know was a nazi?

Hey, the author here :)

Curation is only the first step of the framework i'm building called The Creative Flywheel. So you're right. It is not enough.

But the sentence you highlight means creators are very good curators. They learn from other creators and carefully select their sources of inspiration, then they ideate on their own, and finally create.

The cycle goes Curation > Ideation > Creation > Distribution.

That article is only dedicated to the first step. But I have another talking about the blueprint of creativity where I go over the 4 in less detail.
> For sure there's no clear specific on exactly what intelligence is, but I'd just go on to say it's what you'd consider intelligent as any other human.

That's not the definition, like many people you're haphazardly extending the meaning of a word to somehow mean AGI just so you can shift goalposts.

> intelligence /ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒ(ə)ns/ noun 1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

The second definition is for military information which we can disregard but clearly Oxford says there are two actions a 'thing' must do to be intelligent: learn and use the learned knowledge. LLMs can easily demonstrate both. Ergo, they are intelligent. Biological thinking or whatever is not a requirement. Hell, your average classical AI approaches are also intelligent, albeit in a very a limited area of expertise, e.g. learn movement of an object and apply that information to output predictive control.

Your second assumption is that whatever flaws you're seeing are somehow a core fault of the architecture. Most of the current cloud models are tuned to be politically correct corporate drones which probably isn't the best demonstration of what they can do. They won't get into arguments with you nor will they hold strong opinions in an effort to not offend so the company doesn't get sued or cancelled. At least in my experience some non-assistant tuned Llama models are a lot more "human" in terms of their opinions. Regardless it's kind of a bullshit metric to consider for inteligence. I would expect that humans are only hard wired to hold strong opinions because it evolutionarily makes us harder to manipulate and more likely to survive.

But yes nobody's saying they're human level conscious brains and it's foolish to change words to mean what they don't just to illustrate that.

No part of what you said is rooted in anything even barely resembling what the Voice was actually about. Christ, it was a glorified advisory body to the government. Basically harmless except it could've guaranteed Indigenous Australians would have a say in the future of the country violently stolen from them, instead of continuing to be disenfranchised. It has nothing to do with proving genetic heritage to get special treatment. You walk up to the government with a big bag of money to make people listen to your particular concerns and people call it "lobbying", you try to do it the right way and people claim it's some eugenics conspiracy.

AIs should be globally banned from making final decisions. Whenever an AI makes a decision, it should be guaranteed that you can demand a human to actually review the case, evaluating evidence manually. It is also questionable whether lifetieme bans should be allowed to exist, let alone full bans like when Google's AI dislikes something in your app and you loose access to your GMail and everything forever (in my oppinion not even a terrorist deserves this).

While there's no foolproof way to detect scams like these, there are some proactive steps we can take:

1. Always type in URLs manually when downloading critical software to bypass the potential risks from ads.

2. Make use of browser plugins that identify malicious websites or unverified SSL/TLS certificates.

3. Before making any downloads, inspect the TLS certificate of the website by clicking on the padlock icon next to the URL bar. Look for inconsistencies like a different company name or issue date.

I am sorry but what makes you believe that the EU citizen and bureaucrats really want twitter that much? It's not power, water, or food production? It's just a website... If twitter disappeared, the next day something would take its place in the EU.

If a foreign company don't want to accept the laws of a country, they can leave, that's fine. I mean, I am sure that the bureaucrats would like nothing more than having a EU company taking over.

The company doesn’t pay for the increased cost though. I pay as a consumer. What do I get in return, especially since I’m not in nor have any interest in joining one?
I may be wrong, but I think it's the other way around. The law allows only company-level unionization, but there are ways to get effective sectoral bargaining agreements sometimes.

In Europe, we have laws that encourage it. For example, Finland has generally applicable collective agreements. If a large representative majority of workers achieve agreement with enterprise representatives in an industry sector, the agreement can become generally applicable. Every employer must observe at least the minimum provisions of a wide national collective agreement once it's considered representative in the relevant sector.

(Finland does not have laws about minimum wage. There is very little need for them because generally applicable agreements set the minimums.)
It can be summed up as Ideas Are Cheap, Execution Is Everything.
