In the last year, youtube anti-ad-block only ever occurred to me once and I fixed it in 2 minutes by reading the instructions on that github issue.

All I had to do was manually trigger an update for uBlock Origin's filter lists then restart firefox.

The filter lists update automatically, but a new youtube change got around them and the filter had a fix inside an hour (too short a time for my extension to auto-update it's filter lists).
I am pretty sure they are synchronized to refresh rate (at least on windows).

I made a small experiment about raf https://codepen.io/mmis1000/pen/qBxqgLr and it always looks uniform regardless I am on a 60, 120, 160 fps screen. (It would blink crazily if you put it in the middle of two screen with different refresh rate, because it can't be in two refresh rate at same time)

Erit: okay, it looks non uniform only in safari. Clap, clap, clap, Apple…
Is there any resources for home schooling? Even without home schooling, I would like "top up" my son's school education, not necessarily give him extra work, but if I find the teaching in school is lacking in some aspects, I would like to make up for it.

that is why you have to locate the spot on the package where the cut has already been started and use the grove that is scored into the package.
All I'm saying is that when the grandparent used the phrase "the church" they probably meant it in the broader "followers of Christ" sense and not a specific denomination as OP assumes.

I'm very aware of the differences between denominations, and the degree to which the grandparent comment generalized across these disparate denominations is definitely problematic, but what I said is accurate: much of American Christianity uses the phrase "the church" in a highly inclusive way that is different than what OP assumed was meant.

What you are asking for is the ability to sell your right to privacy. Laws generally don't allow you to sell or otherwise relinquish your rights, eg. selling your vote or selling yourself into slavery or accepting licenses in conflict with rights granted by local consumer laws. Some things we don't want assigned a value that can be traded. The EU has decided that the right to privacy includes not being tracked on the Internet, and any 'you can only use this if you give up your right or pay money' is not going to be allowed, because it ends up destroying that right for many.
So have any research on why the waistlines today are not remotely comparable to 1970?
It doesn’t even work. They steal all my data and ads and suggestions are still garbage.
Thank you, Prussia, for Germany‘s “Schulpflicht“.
I would love to believe that advertising would go away if only we all paid subscription fees. Cable television tells a different story.
Well, they are already pushing ads on people and make money through that business model. Forcing the ads to be targeted creates another revenue stream for Meta but does not add anything to your argument that we should be willing to give this away in exchange for free use. We are already paying for it, with time and attention and them manipulating our emotions.

I don't mind this business model as much as some, but I think you're arguing the wrong thing here.
Same. I only visit when someone links to a video or I absolutely have to to get information.

Used to visit YouTube’s front page as part of my daily routine, effectively using it as a social media site - which it definitely is; it’s just that the posts are all videos, the comment section is like every other but moderated by the video poster, and the front page is completely algorithm driven.
Large Language Models Are Bad at Refactoring Code
Thank you. This explains the motivation behind companies like Toys R Us deciding to blow their legs off with leveraged buyouts that I never quite understood.

Does anyone else remember Jeff Minter's virtual light machine (VLM) and other early experimental digital interactive light shows?
As someone who was programming at 10 - Programming sucked back then! Crappy documentation, Linux was harder to install, nobody was around to hold my hand on stupid subtleties like the "define / declare" difference in C / C++.

I figure everyone who starts today is probably gaining experience at at least 2-3x the rate I was learning back then. Plus I was a kid, I learn faster now that I know how to learn.
It's definitely something that at least vendors knew was important. However, ARM/AArch64 chips already decimated x86 in performance per watt even when x86 chips generally had a process advantage. But ARM laptops generally sucked. Yes, the battery life was excellent: even a crummy Samsung Series 5 Chromebook delivered pretty impressive battery life for its light weight and price. But the performance? Yeah it was shit. Good enough for a few tabs of Chrome and nothing more, honestly not so bad. But the calculus for phones definitely worked out in ARM's favor.

But that's the thing. Sufficient performance per watt is very important. Improvements to performance per watt are rarely unwelcome. However... you can mislead people regarding generational improvements when touting performance per watt metrics. If the design didn't actually improve much, a new process node and pumping more power in can cover a bit. Pretty much every vendor does this at some point, and even if Apple isn't currently doing this, pivoting towards touting the efficiency improvements rather than the raw performance is not a good sign, especially considering that these chips go in desktops too, and Apple still has some ground to cover if it wants to compete fully with high end desktop CPUs from the PC market.
I'm trying Grayjay, which works great, and I've noticed one big thing: it doesn't keep showing me an endless stream of stuff to keep me on the site. It just shows my subs and a handful of suggestions.

As a consequence, my time spent on the site is way down, and the time I do spend is higher quality material.

But I'm with you. There's no way I'm watching an ad on YT. If they figure out how to only stream with unblockable ads, I will never visit the site again.

Patreon to pay the creators.
perf per watt is not new and it is not just marketing hype, it is the limiting factor for not only notebooks but desktop gpus and cpus. the envelope is power vs. heat vs. performance. increasing perf per watt will let you do more in that envelope, whether it is in a notebook with batteries, or in a desktop with giant coolers holding you back.
Then again, Netflix and YouTube Premium contradict that (for now).

EPA CompTox Chemicals Dashboard
Exactly. But I want to also quickly clarify the math, because I realize I put lots of numbers out there - but it's all pretty straight forward and very helpful for modeling and understanding where things are headed. There are two main components to the math:

1) An effectively fertility rate of "N" will result in the next generation being N/2 times as large. So a fertility of 2 means the next generation will be exactly the same size (2 people, having 2 kids who have 2 kids...) while a fertility rate of 4 would result in a doubling of size, and a fertility rate of 1 would result in the next generation being half as large.

2) To reverse the multiplication of some value by "X", you simply multiply by 1/X. So if our population increases by 1.5 in a generation, then to reverse that and get from the new population, back to where we started, we'd multiply by 1/1.5 or 0.66. So for instance 100 * 1.5 = 150. And 150 * 0.66 = 100.

---

So taking the most complex example. Fertility rate of 2.5 = a population increasing factor of 1.25. Reversing that means multiplying by 0.8

So if our parent's generation had a fertility rate of 2.5, that would mean that their population would be 0.8 times the size of our population, which I take as the global population which is about 8 billion. And if their parents also had a fertility rate of 2.5, then the exact same would follow for another multiplication of 0.8. So if we go back "N" generations, we'd end up with a population, for that generation, of 8 billion * 0.8^N.

So going back 70 generations with a fertility rate of 2.5, we finally get the original formula: 8 billion * 0.8^70 = world population 70 generations ago. You end up with this problem that if you don't have a really low effective fertility rate, the population approaches 0 far too quickly, and that's only going back 2100 years!

Wait, we don't need religion for morality but without it, it has no grounding? Perhaps for you and others indoctrinated to think in such a manner, but for others we do just fine.

The Bard makes an excellent point: "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." We could find countless "justifiable" actions that are based on "God told me to", so ignoring that aspect is dishonest.

Seriously?

You wouldn’t use it refactor because the implementation will drift, but you’d use it to generate a patch to apply to the code?

Hm.

Well, I don’t think that style is relevant or practical for large scale code generation as shown even in this ~600 line example.

…but, I’d love to see the details of how it could done, end to end, by someone who has done something like that successfully and is willing to prove it by sharing the prompts and outputs.
never had an issue with YouTube. At least until now they only try to block blockers if you are signed in. And there really is no reason to login to watch videos.

Cool project! I also created a userspace network stack for Wallpunch, a censorship circumvention tool I built. It wasn't clear from the article if you were planning on working on this further or leaving it as is, but if you want to keep perfecting it I have a suggestion for testing:

An HTTP/echo server you control is great for the bare essentials, but there are so many mind-boggling ways things can go wrong in the real world. I think the only way to catch those edge cases (and even so you'll never catch them all!) is to use it on as many different devices for as many real world applications as possible.
Nobody forces you to watch video content. It's your choice.

I see it all the time. Even more annoying is when the API exists, but in a different class or with different parameters and outputs than you need, and the model would claim it does exactly what you need right until the time you try to use it and discover it can't work in your case.
One thing which seriously improves my experience is using the "Block element" feature on non-ads as well. Suggested videos, youtube shorts, banners, etc, all get blocked. Leaves the site much more lean and leaves less distracting visual clutter.

I use this strategy on a lot of sites (which sadly includes stackoverflow lately).
Well, I understand it's pretty clear on killing:

Certainly whether or not abortion qualifies as killing is a matter of interpretation, but judging from signs I've driven by I'd say it's not an unpopular interpretation
I think some is related to battery chemistry, but some is related to battery size (with a little battery management thrown in).

smaller batteries cycle more. People still seem to drive a certain amount, and if a leaf discharges and charges once per day, a model 3 with a bigger battery, more efficiency and better battery management may cycle once per week. (charge to 80%)
Ok, so then if we all follow the Quran we should be good, right? It is the official word of God, right?
25 Years Since the Halloween Microsoft vs. Linux Memos
25 years ago today, the first of Microsoft's internal memoranda regarding how it was going to deal with the "Linux threat" were leaked to the press. Microsoft at the time was coping with a DoJ lawsuit. Linux itself, its community, and its business models, were still aborning. What of this future discussed in these leaks came to pass?

A key attack vector identified in these documents was was "De-commoditize protocols".

Anecdotally, this has been my experience as well. The few people who have money troubles put themselves there through frequent outings, buying expensive items. If they got a 20% raise tomorrow, they would just increase their spending and squander most of it away. I don't doubt there are people out there struggling because of medical conditions or just plain bad luck, but that's not the most common case I've seen.
It definitely is not self-sufficient when it comes to food. But trade routes are pretty low tech things, we've been having them for thousands of years, I expect them to reappear quite fast.

Pure sugar may have peaked, but total calorie intake is still much higher than it was in 1970. Pew[1] has it 23% higher, which corresponds reasonably well to the rate at which weights have been increasing[2] over the past few decades (i.e., at about 3-4%/decade). The data is reasonably consistent with weight increasing ~linearly with calorie intake.

She just put it right there in the contract, despite our verbal agreement that it would not be there. When I objected she made a show of having made a “mistake”. Quite crude, in fact.
My guess is that it has something to do with the government tariffs on sugar imports. As Americans, we all pay way more for our sugar than the rest of the world does. The sugar industry spends a bunch of money lobbying congress to keep it that way. Someone ought to start a lobby group for the sugar consumers of America, those of us who like cookies, cakes and ice cream, in order to reduce the tariffs and bring down the prices.

This analogy of course is close to nuclear energy. I think most people would say that regulation is still broadly aligned with the public interest there, even though the forces of regulatory capture are in play.
> I know so many poorly educated homeschoolers whose lives have been destroyed with no hope of recovery by the complete lack of skills their hyper religious parents imparted them with, in jail, broke, unable to hack it in college and too lacking in common sense to make it in the trades or professional work, with living standards insanely far below their parents.

In pretty much all studies, homeschooled children on average fare the same or better than kids who go to normal schools.

While it's certainly the case that people with fringe views are more eager to homeschool their children, anti-homeschooling sentiments are really not backed by anything of substance.
I used to use uMatrix before it ceased development, but eventually switched over to only uBlock advanced mode. Do you find it still works fine? What cases do you keep uMatrix around for?

It's probably multifactoral. For example, here's a recent provocative paper from a highly respected researcher (John Speakman) arguing metabolic rates have actually slowed since then: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10445668/

But two decades of "fat doesn't make you fat" probably didn't help, and neither did the continued trend of increasing empty calories from cheap vegetable oils, especially soybean oil: https://thedietwars.com/why-are-americans-getting-fatter-a-f...

>Added fats and oils provide more calories per day for the average American than any other food group

EDIT: I think most Americans would be shocked to discover that their "favorite" food group is added fat/oil.
This graph does not go back far enough. Processed foods really took off during WWI, and then again in WWII. Using 1970 as a base line feels like skipping over the biggest jumps in those trends. My guess is that sugar consumption rose during those same periods.

I think you're simplifying it too much. Kids -- and often adults -- follow the example set by other people without any particular attempt to indoctrinate them. I don't think you need to encourage uncritical belief from your kids when the majority of the people around them believe the same thing.

Not to downplay the fact that indoctrination does frequently happen. I just don't think it always happens, and exceptions seem to be quite common for the people around me, though I don't live in the US.
A few years now since I have given up on (most) of Google's services. YouTube via Newpipe is the only exception I can think of.

But if it came between choosing between uBlock and anything? I choose uBlock!

USA is 42% on the same measure.
It's easier to report them to your state's data protection authority. If more people do so and the authority does its job, they will sue on your behalf, like the Norwegian Data Protection Authority did.
What you described as a transition to plastic for the MacBook was actually the final iteration of a fairly long line of plastic MacBooks, most of which were a pretty similar design to the pre-Intel iBook.

"MacBook" (not Pro) was plastic from the start, and introduced the same year as the MacBook Pro (always aluminum): 2006. The plastic MacBook was discontinued after the 2010 model. There was a one-off aluminum 13" MacBook in 2008, but it coexisted with the plastic MacBook and was not replaced by a plastic model—instead, the 13" model was promoted up to the MacBook Pro product line, which previously had been just 15" and 17".

After several years of not having a plain MacBook, Apple did the 12" aluminum MacBook from 2015 to 2017. It was basically what they wished the MacBook Air could be, but was too expensive and too thermally constrained to truly replace the MacBook Air of the time. It was killed when they finally upgraded the MacBook Air to have a Retina display.
Here is the page from which the chart is from https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/chart-gallery/gallery...

The data in the chart is sweetener "availability" and not really consumption, though it can be assumed that if less is available per capita, then less is consumed as well (per capita). But, this data doesn't explains the increase in obesity since 1970. this might be because of data being an average. Stats like p90 sugar consumption might show a better correlation with obesity rates and hence may be more meaningful than per capita sweetener availability.
The enforcement is that the state regulators can fine them quite substantially. In the EU and UK a lot of things around regulating business behaviour with consumers happens with consumers complaining to regulators rather than consumers suing companies through class action suits.

In the UK at least more often than not if I have a problem with a company, esp for some kind of utility, there is an ombudsman that is the first port of call over the courts.

The fines that the EU states can issue are very substantial % of revenue amounts.

In the case of the UK, which I'm most familiar with, it's probably a combination of the ico and ofcom which have the relevant powers to fine someone like Meta.
