So a logical question would be: Did the Al Jazeera English account simply use a translation tool and publish without a native speaker listening/reading? If two professional translators said it couldn’t be interpreted that way, they either used a tool when most readers would believe they understand the language natively, or they intentionally misled. For a news outlet, you’d think owning up to the former would be preferable to readers believing the latter.

YT ads didn't bother me that much in the past. But 2-3 years ago something happened on YT. They became incredibly frequent and even more obnoxious. So I stopped seeing YT ads :)

But I saw one yesterday by mistake. A scam trying to sell me some sort of infinite energy device.
With SponsorBlock, blocking such ads on YouTube is already a solved problem for sufficiently popular videos. Unless YouTube goes further and disables seeking during the portion of the video with ads. Then we're back to ad blockers removing some page functionality (the Javascript that disables seeking).
WAL Mode worked as advertised. But the project ended up being split into several autonomous workers, and even with WAL mode, sqlite gets problematic when you have several separate processes trying to read from and write to the same file.
“docker run -ti -p 5412 postgres”? Easy enough to type on my phone. That downloads and starts everything you need and wipes the data on exit. Ideal for prototyping. If you want to keep the data, add some -v flag or use a compose file as suggested below, even easier.

Devs not knowing docker? Just install docker on their machine and ask them run the command above. One day has to be the first.
CalyxOs is also an alternative.

Windows 7 and Windows 10 had very similar minimum hardware requirements, and few if any artificial restrictions on what hardware is supported. Same with Windows XP when moving to Windows 7. Technology was also much faster moving and new significant features that benefited from hardware improvements were being introduced all the time.

Now the focus is on efficiency and power consumption. As a result, any computer made in the last 10-12 years will be perfectly suitable for what 90% of people use their computers for. The 8th generation Intel cutoff for Windows 11 is ridiculous and is causing this problem.

Yes, Windows 11 works fine on older hardware if you force it to install but most people will not go this route. They’ll continue to use their insecure PC on the internet because it runs very well and does everything they need it to do, and we’ll have a nightmare on our hands.

The landscape is totally different from XP to 7 and from 7 to 10. Microsoft knows that and these pointless hardware reqs are a transparent attempt to force people to upgrade for no reason. The desktop and laptop market has fully stalled, and there is no compelling reason to upgrade your computer if you aren’t using it for gaming or processor/GPU intensive work. This is their attempt to boost sales without innovating, and it’s going to be devastating.
That's mostly a lot of fantasy "what ifs" and a nothing-burger for everyone else in the real world. If you know yourself to be a potential target for governments zero days, then you probably won't be running Windows 7 anymore. If you're an important asset and still running Windows 7 on-line when free upgrades to Windows 10 were available in the last 8 years, you should fire your sys-admin as even bottom of the barrel Wallmart laptops sell with Windows 11 for over a year now.
If the equipment does connection tracking for TCP, then it most certainly does for UDP. Raw UDP does not have the notion of stream, but it most certainly does have flows. If the equipment does it for TCP, id does it for UDP.

However most routers don't do connection tracking at all. That is way too expensive at scale for zero benefits. Take your transit provider, it has tens of terabits of data per second, and those can be handled by a single router. That's a buttload of different stream for a single device, and connection tracking is expensive to do. I can say for experience that connection tracking tables for a single hypervisor with VMs can reach gigabytes. For a single node. Now extrapolate that to a backbone router. It's not happening.
I would like to know too. For example why there were so many impactful pictures of the destruction and the suffering of Ukrainians, the expulsion of people and now the journalists are spending their time discussing about themselves while thousands are being killed and kicked out of their home.

In many ways that is the problem, and it is created by the video streaming industry which demands it's pound of flesh. Eventually they will run out of steam and a more friendly means of streaming will emerge. At the moment it feels like a stand off, which none of us want.

This problem is largely solved for audio.

Unless their data is all cloud or roaming profile or whatever, fresh install isn't an option for most users, ie non-enterprise. Backup, upgrade, restore is a pain for every upgrade or patch. Another reason to get off Windows and be done with it.
Agreed, but: Israel is losing support all over the world because of the settlements and that in turn can be used by the Palestinians (and actually the rest of the Arab world) to claim they are justified in doing whatever they do. You can't effectively point at others while you are doing stuff yourself.
"Under Britain’s draconian anti-terror laws, Murray had no right to a lawyer during his hour-long detention, and no right to remain silent. He was forced to provide passwords for his electronic devices. "

This is somewhat misleading and inaccurate. I searched for apples and it tells me it's toxic to all animals. Apple _seeds_ are toxic, but apples are a healthy treat for dogs.

A single search yields a lot more useful and detailed explanations of both the risk and acceptable parts of an apple than this interface.
> It's common sense but a substantial portion of adult male cyclists obstinately refuse to apply such common sense because they'd rather die as some sort of martyr for their right of way than stay alive

Let's stop for a moment and reflect on these words. Notice the implausibility of what this person is saying. Observe how they place the blame squarely on the person bearing the risk, rather on the inadequate infrastructure or the pervasiveness of the mode of transportation that causes the most fatalities per Km. Not even a faint attempt at understanding what could be behind the cyclist's behavior, other than painting them as zealots.

It's a thing of beauty, in a way.

Yep, I've seen quite a few sites do that. I think one of them even does that for people who access their content from Hacker News.
I'm in Mexico and the news here mentioned that Motorola and Samsung did this as part of a "pilot" program in the country. Mainly because the consumer protection agencies here (PROFECO and IFETEL) are basically toothless and corrupt(ible).

The sad thing is that its guaranteed that they will do it again.
Thank you.

I'm not up to date on telescope design (by at least 40 years), but the Cassegrain design used a spherical mirror, I think. It was used for wide-field astrophotography, and (again, I think) it has a curved focal field, so it needs a curved sensor.

I'm certain that Cassegrain designs have been obsoleted. I'm just bragging about what an anachronism I am.

[Edit] The Cassegrain design also requires a refracting lens in front of the mirror; and the lens is a peculiar shape.

[Edit again] I may be thinking of a Schmitt. I've never played with anything more interesting than a Newtonian; I was just an amateur stargazer. All these fancy designs were made for professional astronomers. For me, they were strictly theoretical.
> every video was cut into short segments

Which is a completely arbitrary restriction, thus people were working around it by splitting their video in parts?

It isn't any cheaper to serve 10 short video files instead of 1 long video file (in fact it might be more expensive since a good codec would make 1 video file smaller in size than its equivalent separated into 10 discrete files).
Entire families are being killed. Everybody is focused on the hospital, but what about the fact that already 40% of homes are destroyed? 1.6 million people, 60% of people are forcibly displaced?

Adjusted for population it's like 25000 Israelis being killed. This is just not ok.
Read again, and retry :-) because you've missed the key distinction: required for delivery of the requested service. That's how the e-privacy directive works. Doesn't matter whether you agree with it, it's legal fact in Europe.

Visiting a website does not give that website permission to read or write any data on the user device that's not required for delivering the website. This is mostly used in relation to cookies, but the law is not specific to cookies. It affects any data, read or written.

Three options:

1. It's required to deliver the service the user requested.

2. You've asked consent

3. It's illegal.

No other options, no technical loopholes. So a script to detect ad blockers (which is not required to deliver the requested service) must either run without reading any data from the user device, or ask for permission. If not, it's illegal. Which is exactly what's confirmed in the article by the Irish privacy regulator. Not sure why you think you know better than the regulators.

It’s more work since that’s switching from shoving bytes over a network socket as quickly as possible to knowing where in a stream they can start inserting new frames, and they have to have versions of the ads in each format and resolution, but I’d be surprised if they haven’t already built that so they’d know exactly where the threshold is when more ad views pay for the additional hosting costs.
There is the frontend and the backend, the whole introspection stack, the admin customization layer, and the integration with permission, filtering, caching, etc.

Add on top of that documentation, testing, and making the whole thing completely independent and pluggable (as django must work without it) but perfectly integrated with it (settings, forms, template overrides, etc).

That's a lot.

You might get feature parity with less, but not with the same guarantees of stability and maturity.
That seems like a very complex scheme. The parents get only second hand information from their kids who quite possibly can't evaluate the situation correctly and often don't mind it (they themselves don't care that much about education, the disruptor is a cool kid) etc. It's also not clear how they would fight it, like vote to reprimand the disruptor / their parents?

Yes, this is an excellent RAG use-case! The vector index that I use in the repository uses EvaDB [1] to retrieve the top-K matches to the user queries from the available data sources. So, you can manually inspect the best matches to your query from the research article and verify the correctness of the LLM responses.

You can charge a subscription fee. You can even use untargeted ads as an alternative.

But maybe the website can just (in combination with a universal micropayments system) charge a reasonable fee and that people will just pay it?

That's another hypothesis. The EU could just rule that it's legal to copy content provided for free and then legally "steal" it from other platforms?

I had some squatters in the buildings behind my apartment in Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam crack my WEP encryption to squat my broadband. This was a long, long time ago.

A cargo cult by the way would be another great example of misapprehending the world as a simple deterministic or linear place where the more mock airstrips an isolated tribe builds and the more trappings of European culture they adopt or imitate (e.g. crucifixes), the more material wealth they'll get.
How many decades or years does that last?
A knock-on effect of this is that it's easiest to get the drivers into the mainline kernel, where you have to license your code as GPL. I'm not sure that that's intentional, but it does help make source code available for more drivers. A stable ABI would likely see many abandonware driver blobs.
The reason I "suspect" is because I've seen so many papers and sources that do not include the total cost. Or they choose a very particular process that reduces their carbon output. This is true especially of minerals that have a high place value (aggregates, etc)

The problem is that each 30mm projectile costs ~5k. Not a good trade off if you swarm it with $300 Chinese drones. And as soon as it starts firing, artillery will start raining down on it. Plus, the Russians have already demonstrated the ability to attack AA systems from multiple sides to get through the blind spots. Any attempt to cluster multiple AA guns or radar systems will make for an incredibly attractive target. Modern production lines can make what, a few hundred of them a year at best? Russia has purchased several thousand drones from Iran alone last year, and they have supposedly produced several hundred thousand lancets.

The US desperately needs to stop feeding the MIC and Wall Street and to reindustrialize the US economy, because we are simply not able to produce anywhere near as much missiles, shells, tanks, etc to fight the war the US wants to fight. The current combined yearly shell production capacity of Germany and the US is less than half of Russia’s alleged production capability, and they just signed a deal with NK that will likely increase their production capacity by a good 50% at least.
Devil's advocate here. I have a family member who works for a national news organization. When they write a story, there's a script of which every single fact-dependent line has to be footnoted with two sources. They spend 10 hours fact checking a dozen facts sometimes. They assiduously call people, track down official statistics and reports, and nix lines all the time that are definitely true but don't meet this spec. And no, another news report doesn't count as a source; the the idea that a bunch of publications just reference from the seed of a half truth seems generally far fetched to me. Maybe this org has higher standards than others, but I'm skeptical. I mean, this author's "source" that they didn't have any is that spokespeople didn't reply to him (evidence of absence is not absence of evidence) And that he found a source that COULD be the originator. He very well could be right on this fact, but I feel that the fact-checking effort is underappreciated and distorted by people who love to bash the media

> and decides to maintain an older home rather than build a new one.

Ye doing maintenance is probably almost always worth it. Doing something before it is too late is like one or two orders of magnitude cheaper. Like painting the outer walls before the wood rots, etc. Fixing the roof before it leaks through both layers of protection.

The point I am trying to make, is that buyers seem to underestimate the cost of fixing stuff when it is "too late". I have a theory that there is more competition for houses the cheaper they are. So poorer people are forced to buy homes that are not worth what they cost. I.e. the poorer buyer would be better off buying a more expensive home that is cheaper to maintain in the long run, have to buy the cheaper home that need expensive repairs. If the market was only "rich" people, the bad homes would have a lower price to offset their repair costs. Or something ...

I personally don't see why it would be awkward. The use case envisioned for the Vision Pro is probably not the same use case that people use the MacBook Pro for. It's hard to draw an analogy, but I can't imagine professionals and content creators will reach for the Vision Pro as the first choice for their performance intensive tasks such as video editing or whatnot. They will stick to the MacBook Pro, where that extra performance will be most valued. Moreover, especially with AMD and Intel's new chips, Apple needs to release the next generation of Apple Silicon to continue to be viewed as relevant by mainstream consumers.

Gruber seems to imply that Apple is effectively competing against themselves were they to release M3 chips before a M2 Vision Pro is released, however that assumes that the Vision Pro is intended to replace/act as an alternative to iMacs or MacBooks rather than more of a complementary member of the Apple ecosystem.

One of my favorite fun facts is that if you were to dig a frictionless borehole to the other side of the world, you could hope in, be accelerated towards the center of the earth, decelerate on your way up to the other side, and pop out with 0 velocity 42 minutes later.

Now, this is the fun part, the 42 minute time frame is true for using gravity to coast through a straight hole between any two locations on Earth's surface!

(Assuming a perfectly uniform density sphere and no friction on your journey of course)
