I have children and the relationship is much more complicated with them. There is a danger in overgeneralization from anecdotal evidence.

Strange line to use dismissing research into that exact topic.
That's definitely true for more complex apps, but the fact that you can have the executable and all it's resources in one `.app` file is so much simpler and easier for the everyday user. (Yes I know it's a folder that the OS treats as an application, but to a user it looks like one file)

I go back and forth between Windows/Mac/Linux on the daily (right tool for the right job) and each has some strengths. App packaging is far and away one of Mac's current strengths.

I maintained Nativefier (a now defunct open source project that would package web sites as Electron apps) and the ease of packaging an app was Mac > Windows > Linux.
That argument works when they don't own 70% or so of the apps in the world. At some point, they should be held accountable for what they do on their store, just like countries would be held accountable to what happens to their citizens.

If Play Store decided to ban or restrict, say, Uber or Netflix, that's just billions of dollars of economic damage on a flick of a finger.

They hold more power than banks. It's surprising they aren't tightly regulated like banks would be.
Believe me I try, but one person can't do much against the network effect. I'm only interested in a few creators and they only upload to Youtube or other major corporate platforms because thats where the viewers are, what's a peon like me supposed to do? Rip their stuff and reupload it on peertube or something?
One of the counterintuitive things I've learned is that "security is everyone's job" is one of the worst possible scenarios.

First, the vast majority of people are not equipped to find or address major security issues well. Unless you have specialists integrated in the right places this means everyone's likely to be bad at the security part of their job and ill-equipped to notice.

Second, this means conflicts of interest everywhere. When you have a dedicated security org, you have people whose job it is to catch issues, hold things up, and generally make sure things get fixed. Without that, you have a bunch of people who have to choose between the possibility of a security event they don't understand and the certainty of blowing a deadline.

Third, security being everyone's job almost certainly means accountability is broken. Consequences will likely fall on some junior employee who might be directly accountable for an issue, but the huge org around them that did not enable them to succeed go unaffected.

You need specialists, an org to enable them, and an enterprise-wide apparatus to support a strong security process.
Certain experiments are not ethical nor possible to do in human subjects, so scientists rely on model systems to interrogate biological questions. It has become somewhat common for people to immediately dismiss scientific findings on the basis that this research was done in a mouse, and therefore not applicable to human biology.
But what's the point? Federation, I suppose?

Because if globally unique, human-readable DNS still works, I see no point in migrating off it. If the point is smoother migration, then we should start forgetting about human-readability, because it's going to disappear anyway.
Exercise just makes me feel good. To me, that's enough. Its not about a routine, or how I look, it's eustress.
One could argue that by doing something it is legally allowed to do, the board has not relieved Microsoft of anything.

No matter how smart or dumb that move was.
>LED filament bulbs.

Just lots of LEDs in series with higher target forward voltage. Still, LEDs are current driven devices and quite temperature sensitive, and still need a driver. The issues are not that different.

>That's pretty close to the holy grail IMO.

I guess we have a very different idea about the grail, then.

The original question was whether the slower degradation of the battery is worth the immediate loss of 20% battery capacity, not whether the battery degrades slower.

Is there an equivalent Python library to model these rules?
Yea, I've been using Blazor in .NET 8 through the previews and it's really nice.

The Server Side Rendering is fast like any server-rendered stuff. Enhanced Navigation means that pages load even faster since they're just using `fetch` to get the next page and swapping the content (like Turbo in Rails). When I need some interactivity, the page still renders from the server and then the browser downloads the WASM in the background.

With .NET 8, Blazor is really ready. It isn't perfect, but it's so productive for me and the downsides are really minimal. Plus, it'll likely get a lot better with .NET 9 in a year because of WASM-GC (and post-MVP improvements to WASM-GC). With WASM-GC, .NET won't need to ship a garbage collector and WASM-based stuff won't need to copy between WASM and JS for DOM manipulations.

Since people might want the "minimal" downsides, I'll put them here. If you're using Blazor SSR with WASM, after the first interactive page renders for the first time, there's a second or two before the interactivity is actually available while it downloads the WASM (on interactive components, not links or anything). If you were making a Facebook clone, it'd mean that the "like" button on posts wouldn't work for a second or two. This is pretty minimal for two reasons. First, it's just the first page load of the first interactive page. After that, the WASM is cached in the browser. Second, most of the time people need a few seconds to read the content before using an interactive bit. All of the navigation and such works instantly, but an interactive bit like a "like" button takes a second or two.

If you want to get rid of that, you can use interactive-auto. This means that the first interactive page load will use a web socket and the interactive bits will be done with Blazor Server. It'll download the WASM in the background and switch to WASM for future page loads so you don't need the web socket for the vast majority of your stuff. However, web sockets do create a certain amount of hassle since you need to make sure that any proxies in-between handle web sockets and that you consistently route the user to the correct backend if you're load balancing.

To me, those downsides are minimal and don't have a lot of user impact for me. This is in contrast with Blazor in .NET 7 where I'd have to choose using a web socket all the time or having a big WASM payload that meant the page didn't render for a few seconds and gave users a crappy experience.

If you're primarily creating something that would be server-rendered (like Rails or Django), Blazor offers that with the additional nicety that you can add interactive elements without needing to deal with JS. That isn't meant as a "JS is crappy" comment, but to note that having to deal with another ecosystem where you need to duplicate your models and keep them in sync, having to deal with another build system or glue things together yourself, etc. is a pain when it isn't your main focus. So many sites end up with a full front-end stack and all the hassle involved because they need a couple pages or want to keep a consistent component system. Blazor means that you don't have to go that route.
Power is things like: can lock someone in a box due to them not giving a percentage of their income; can send someone to die in another country; can stop someone building somewhere; can demand someone's money as a penalty for an infraction of a rule you wrote.

You don't need money for those things.

Money (in a market) can buy you things, but only things people are willing to sell. You don't exert power; you exchange value.
Your comment doesn't deserve the downvotes (which are supposed to be about whether a comment is good/substantive, not the reactionary "I disagree with this" that it's become) so I upvoted it to balance.

You are of course right that there is more work involved beyond a traditional payment processor. However, 30% of everything?? Even the standard 3% that payment processors take is ridiclously high. It's rent-seeking all around.
What are the reasonable size limits of this tech?

Does it have positive or negative economics of scaling (does hydrofoiling on bigger electric ships get cheaper or more expensive per weight unit), or is there a ship size limit where the equation flips?
From the article linked by Techdirt: “executives have sought to almost entirely subordinate clinical case managers’ judgment to the computer’s calculations”

Sounds like the issue is the executives. What does this have to do with “AI”? Also, the company that built this tech (naviHealth) was started in 2012. Their product existed long before large language models were created.
I wonder how they chose which countries to include in the graph. A lot of my family's Venezuelan and have 0 spice tolerance whatsoever despite growing up near the equator.

They also seem to be ranking things per recipe rather than per unit of food eaten by the population, if you read the abstract. Even if there are 9 spicy recipes and 1 bland recipe in a country, if the 1 bland recipe is eaten every day, doesn't that just show that there are more spicy varieties of dishes?

Still an interesting article regardless.

now i am curious how much the slowdown is for adblockers compared to the slowdown through ads. at that rate i suspect even with buffering the adblocker version is still faster, at least at lower bandwidth.
Ah, I upgraded just yet, realized node 20 broke the way ts-node-esm loader works. Had to downgrade to 18, because there's no functionality I really need from 20. Also Vite complained when I tried node 19, because it requires <=18 && >=20 for some reason (probably good one).

I'm maintaining a few pristine example projects to keep track of these ways and test them periodically. This iteration probably had the shortest lifetime. I didn't manage to develop even a single toy project before something got obsoleted again. Love this community. Looking forward to solve a handful of brand new issues with tsx.

I wish there was some IDEish starter pack which you could install and start writing code anytime, without investigating issues with running a damn interpreter.
> It also made me question the motives of someone paying to play ads with dead bodies on children’s shows.

I recently went through this. I disabled targeted ads on my Google account so then Google deigned that every video (child-friendly content or not) needed to have the nastiest ads available. They are absolutely twisting your arm into giving them your personalization so they don't show your kids "inappropriate ads". It was then that I swore to never pay for Premium because it's like paying the mafia protection money so they don't cut my gas line under the stove and blow up the entire place.
You can use an invidious instance for example. It can also act as a proxy.
I actually rode a C-8 around Elliott Bay and asked about this since as you say there's lots of logs, or deadheads as my grandpa called them. They said it's not optimal but the logs can be detected and accounted for, and the fins are super strong to impacts from the front. Better to avoid, of course, but they said it would be OK. It just whacks them out of the way basically.
Not noticed any agitation from it at all.
I you consider that the plan from the start was to destroy Twitter entirely, then everything is going swimmingly. The major hiccup was for Musk to be forced to buy it for much more than it was worth, but other than that, Twitter is pretty much on it's way to being just a hollow husk of its former self.
> Probably not, since they would consume a lot of lawyer time at the relevant agencies. If it were free, people could file thousands of slightly different requests for all imaginable variations of their dubious business plan, hoping that something would slip by.

If they tell you that you can't do it, that should give you standing to challenge their determination in court. And, of course, if they tell you that you can do it, they can't later prosecute you for the thing they officially approved. Asking them a hundred times doesn't matter; if they say yes then you're happy and if they say no you can sue them and it becomes an issue for the courts in the same way as if they charged you for it, except that you don't go to jail if the courts rule against you because you haven't done it yet.

> There would maybe need to be a new profession of counterfactual judges who decide on the legality of things that haven’t happened.

We could call them lawyers and have them work for the agency in charge of prosecuting that part of the law, so when they publish their opinion it expresses the official position of the prosecutor's office and precludes them from reinterpreting the existing law in a different way against your behavior ex post facto.

> How much should such a process cost?

They're lawyers. They get paid by the hour. The first thing they do is evaluate how many hours it will take to research your question, the estimate is free, and then you decide if you want to pay them. In most cases this will not take much; these are professionals answering questions in the specific area of their expertise. How much time does it take to answer a simple yes or no question?

The answers all get published (no secret interpretations of the law) and can be used by anyone, so large entities will often pay to have an ambiguous law clarified and then everybody knows the answer.

The only thing you're doing here is requiring them to tell you how they intend to interpret the law. That doesn't seem like too much to ask.
Agreed with everything, except this:

> I really wish the Node, Typescript, Deno/Bun, and maybe some bundler people would come together and figure out how to make this easier for people.

Bun has solved this. Bun is straight-up magic; they've implemented tons of hacks and heuristics so everything just works. Bun can even handle ridiculous or otherwise invalid code, like having import and require in the same file.
I do the same in Django with drf-spectacular. I have a precommit hook that autogenerates (fairly thin) TypeScript schemas and routes on commit. This is not take merit from LOB devs who want to use C# back-to-front. I will use it as an argument to those who say that this is why you should go full TypeScript on any new web project though.

They got away with it so far which they see as confirmation that they can do whatever they want and that nothing or nobody will ever make a dent in their armor.

The scary thing: they might be right.
Spotify is very good at negotiating sweetheart deals. I am convinced that they negotiated something similar with Sony, because on the PS4, Spotify is the only app I have found that can play overlay audio while you're playing a game to replace the background music.
Yes and no. While there are ways to circumvent the issue ( including the ways you mention ), the issue itself a little more complicated than that. Some of us don't like to play cat and mouse game. At certain size, company has to realize that their decisions that attempt to extract maximum amount of dough may draw close scrutiny of regulators. And its not like Google is not in their crosshairs already.
Telling people that AGI is acheivable with current LLM with minor tricks may be very dangerous in itself.

What would be the economic and geopolitical consequences of the US breaking up the only US companies that are globally competitive? Chinese giants will outcompete the smaller less competitive remnants after these kind of corporate breakups.

Some places do that type of design, but we're not starting from a blank slate. Urban sprawl has meant most people are not near a rail corridor, meaning your design would mean most people now have to live far from retail distribution. Freight patterns are symptoms of housing in many cases.
> better YouTube (Tik Toc)

Is TikTok popular for long-form video content?
A clean break is hard to manage because of chicken and egg things. If you want to deploy it to your web pages, either you need to ship the required viewer too (and have the user buy in for that), it needs to translate into something today's browsers can use, or you need to do the work both ways.

If your new system is translatable to the old system, it's often not clear what that brings you. And you often end up in the trap that the new system never quite matches the abilities of the old system, so it's hard to abandon the old ways.
While you may have a point about competition, comparing credit card processors and app stores solely on fee structure doesn’t make for an honest comparison because you get to ignore all the other things they do.
Not particularly surprising, the most anxious/stressed people are naturally the most likely to follow the rules...
Unless they promised to withhold the letter until 50% signed.

Also I have enough savings and my skills are in demand enough that I wouldn’t consider signing such a letter much of a risk. The researchers at openAI are likely a good deal more in demand than I am.
The screenshots are real. The content was served by X to MM as stated. Every test known to man would be "manufactured" by X's definition.
A naïve readthrough would lead one to that conclusion perhaps but the elephant in the room here is capitalism. Pragmatically, any "good enough" solution will be used to replace skilled care to improve patient throughput and thus the bottom line.
I'm the opposite - exercise makes me feel terrible both physically (exhausting) and mentally (boredom), both during and after. I've never experienced "runner's high" or the similar feeling some people describe from lifting weights.

If it wasn't for the health and aesthetic benefits, I'd choose to never to exercise again.
This is obviously completely different than that.
Even 2.9% (which is what card payment processors charge as well) is ludicrously high. They make a very, very healthy profit margin with that. One of my greatest disappointments about cryptocurrencies is that they didn't destroy that ridiculousness.
We actually got a lot more. For example, we got modems and without modems it is likely we would not have Internet, at least not free version of it.
What kind of good is housing?
For people who care about this, I would recommend float charging at 40%, slow charge to 60% before use, then slow discharge to 40%, preferably all done at 10 degrees C. And, for safety reasons, you should ideally have supervised charging in a fireproof bunker. Empty fireplaces and concrete basement floors can work in a pinch.

If you don't care, just use your device normally and buy a new one when the old one's cycle life starts to suffer.

If you want to be somewhere in the middle, try to plug it in reasonably soon after it dies, or ideally before it dies. Keep an eye on your devices on the first charge after you buy them, and on the first charge after a drop or impact, watching for smoke, burning plastic smell and swelling. Don't attempt to charge a swelled battery, and dispose of lithium ion batteries properly. Disclaimer: All the above advice is given without warranty, do your own research and don't rely on this advice for your safety.
Very interesting timing of this release, amidst the turmoil at rival Open AI. I wonder if this is a clear play to capture enterprise customers who have been spooked by the drama.
Netflix currently pay 0%, getting them to agree to 4% sounds like a pretty good deal.
You have to wonder why none of these big companies has figured out yet that the only things that grow without restraint are cancers. Every other entity has an upper limit to their growth and that's nothing to worry about. You've gotten as large as you'll be, congratulations, you're an adult. Now act accordingly.
This is one of my favorite JRPGs. I played it as a kid and it was right up there with the greats for me. If you liked Chrono Trigger, etc, play this.

With that said, I am so sick of remakes. When I first heard a 2023 Super Mario RPG was coming out I was so excited that we'd get an actual 2023 SMRPG. Not a remake. Everything is a remake nowadays. I have zero, absolutely zero desire to replay a game I beat when I was 12.

It's like the FF7 remake.. my god. I put like 80 hours into that game, probably an entire school year. Play it AGAIN? Are you kidding me. For the exact same story?

These JRPGs aren't exactly fun to replay. There's usually no fast travel, no ng+, nothing. It's the exact same game over and over. How many times do you think I want to get the Masamune?
> it means that standards shouldn't be changed (e.g. to improve them)

I think it's more nuanced than that. It means standards shouldn't be changed in a way that breaks backward compatibility. That seems like an important feature of any standard.

Nobody is saying standards shouldn't be improved.
No. Of these mechanisms, the ones I have personally used (yt-dlp and TubeArchivist) do not rely on signing in with an account. They could ban my account on IP association alone, but that would result in massive false positives and backlash (everyone behind a VPN would be screwed for one).
Nobody is saying it applies to every child.

But if it affects enough of them then it's a problem worth looking into.
For all that is good, do not do this on an account that does anything else! Run it in the cloud, if you can on a separate IP, and stream it from there.
I had a Motorola smartphone at least a decade ago that supported a clamshell dock with a small monitor and a keyboard, along with a more traditional dock that allowed me to use extrenal peripherals.

What's old is new again.
Step 1: Buy a VPN subscription. It's about $3/month

Step 2: Run script

I'm a lot happier to pay for VPN and hard disks than for Google's bait-and-switch games. Youtube and Google became popular based on a social contract where I gave them by content, and now that it's a near-monopoly, they're breaking that social contract. That's not illegal, but it is sleazy, and I feel dirty giving money to support sleazy.
