mozilla may not fix it, but they won't reject a patch, and if you keep it to yourself you're ensuring that it'll never get fixed

you said chimera's builds are affected by this, which means you've presumably tested it there; i see no bug report about it in cports either though
I have one. I have used it pretty much every night on my phone at bedtime for a few years. If it is plugged in properly it works perfectly every time. I have a few others xduoo, moondrop etc. But I always use this one in my room.
I'm going to drop the inline quotes and respond more holistically.

I think you're pigeon-holing me a bit into a spot where you view me taking a moral stance with no external logic. Eg. I am a well meaning but ultimately naive savior-person that wants to create fairness and this doesn't help the company, the product, or the team. I feel like I'm becoming a projection for frustrations you have with those on a moral crusade.

I disagree that there is no logic to DEI. Specifically the idealized version of DEI, not whatever implementation company A has. I think a diverse team creates better products. I think diversity around gender/racial lines are stronger indicators of diverse experience than a wishy-washy "diversity of thought" angle that I see going around.

I also assert that, honestly, from a practical standpoint race/gender selection is easier to select for than most other forms of diversity. We use inexact tools as a heuristic for technical ability (leetcode, take home project, system design, CS fundamentals, etc), why would diversity be any different?

I assert that our interview tools and processes are inexact and consistently leave talented people off the table due to biases. The reality is if I have 10 candidates for a CRUD position I assert I could pick a name out of a hat and they'd be able to do the job most of the time. I think people pretend they can determine person A is 10% better of a developer than person B in an interview when they really can't. The reality is you could have probably picked B and it wouldn't have been a noticeable change once on the job. I think seeing these "successes" lead people to think they are better at interviews than they really are.

DEI to me is understanding the hiring process has bias + blindspots and taking the gamble that selecting in a differently biased way gets me better odds of getting that "Bangladeshi John von Neumann". And even if it's not a home run like that, that there is still an overall benefit to the added diversity to the team vs taking the person that did 10% better on our leetcode question.

I would have thought it well known by Search Engine Journal that at intervals Google implements changes that in one way or the other influences what kind of sites are rated in which way... And that, at times of change this may lead to very substantial changes in ranking, sometimes letting a lot of "irrelevant"/"lower quality" (...all this is subjective to some extent) results flow to the top for certain queries, even for a prolonged period of time... Back in the day these algo updates were quite the thing to monitor and discuss on certain SEO-related sites...

That said I only comment out of casual interest as I stopped using Google more than a decade ago.
I wonder if physiognomy will come back as a field, if AI scans like these have any validity.

I remember stumbling upon multiple esoteric accounts on both Twitter and Tiktok with communities seemingly obsessed with characterising various psychological traits from purely looking at facial features, importantly without racial undertones.

While this on the surface sounds ridiculous and has various horrible historical echoes, i've always had a hunch there was actually something to this science from a purely intuitive perspective and knowing lots of people - again very importantly disregarding anything about race - instead focusing on the myriad of hormone linked features, neurotypicalism, alcohol, environmental factors, whatever traits that seemingly somehow go "across races".

Or maybe there's nothing there.
It's probably good to check with a guest browser session before making this kind of strong claims.
> Most devices are now aimed at media consumption rather than more power hungry media creation. We've reached "good enough" performance that the N100 can consume YouTube videos and run web apps while still having a battery that lasts all day (or close). That's all schools need for a basic computing device.

Then they should be much much cheaper that a three years old laptop that can do so much more!

Does anyone know of any existing research into the effects of scaling the number of experts up in models like this? I assume there's diminishing returns and an eventual inversion of quality (maybe?), but it'd be interesting to see the curve.
I'm someone who has suffered from post-viral ME/CFS, so I know how devastating it is. However, there isn't any evidence that EBV reactivation causes symptoms. (Initial mono infection is different).

- multiple studies in ME/CFS patients, even ones with EBV reactivation, show that antivirals aren't helpful.
- students studying for exams and astronauts have high EBV titers (signifying reactivation), but they don't have any kind of ME/CFS symptoms.

EBV reactivation is just a symptom, caused by stress. It doesn't seem to be central to the illness itself.

Having a back that is 2/3 empty and filled with air is clearly intended to mislead.
This is a very layman's understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.

If you have a ton of cash on hand when markets go to shit and interest rates go through the roof you suddenly have something no one else does: cash on hand that was traded when that dollar was worth less. When you buy property or stock with that money, you've effectively bought it at a hefty discount. When the markets and interest rates normalize again you stand to make huge gains.

They lock up financing to put a cap on growing inflation, but that same cap stops people from taking advantage of the market and thereby continuing inflation through a new avenue.
What safety driver accident included a fatality? You're not obscuring talking about the dog with "a fatality", are you? Egads.

From looking at past Waymo data, you get similar numbers (a few more incidents, but a lot more miles driven) with safety drivers included. They're just noisier and more subject to dispute.
This is something that comes up a lot with OSS founders. Something along the lines of "I have this thriving open-source product but those using it don't even know my commercial offering exists."

There's a lot of things that can be done to address
- actively engage with those users for one
- invest in building a community around the open-source product (e.g., Discord server or meetups for contributors and so on)
- producing content around problem solving, i.e., "basically blog posts"

At the risk of this comment being flagged as promotional, this is a problem we're trying to solve with Common Room. That is, ingest data from your GitHub repo, use it to triage issues, use it to detect (and reward) top contributors, use it to find opportunities where a commercial offer would add value.
This is fantastic, thank you for making and sharing it?

Turing Complete is a great game. Finishing it was a major sense of accomplishment for me, particularly since I rarely complete games (though Zachlikes are a common exception).

This is from my Steam review (one of two ever, I liked it so much):

> Man, what a trip. I’ve played the NAND game and MRHD, among others, but never quite got to the “build a computer” endgame. I did with this one. At this point I’ve built a 256-byte RAM system that does six math instructions, six conditional jumps, and subroutine calls using its own stack—then developed my own assembly language for it which I'm now using in the endgame to solve more traditional programming puzzles.

> And I designed and built the entire architecture for it myself. The initial levels are mostly "one solution only" problems that each results in you designing a component. But by the time you're at midgame, all the decisions are yours as long as the output is correct. Previous problems tend to hint towards partial solutions of later problems, but very little is given to you outright. That gives you an incredible sense of accomplishment for what you put together.

That said, unless they improved the bit where wiring tends to merge together and virtually short out during edits, it can be a little frustrating once things get very complex. It's not enough for me to not recommend it, but there was a point where I felt like I was having to master the tricky interface quirks as much or more than the logic. Shenzen IO did that part much better.

You are not a representative sample. According to [1] Safari has 28% market share on MacOS. [Edit: This site was wrong, the real number is 37%, see below for a link]

If WebKit's market share on iOS were to drop this low, web developers would likely test for WebKit a lot less, and tolerate WebKit's missing features a lot less, and Apple would soon face much worse web compatibility problems on both platforms. To prevent that they saw that they needed to seriously step up their investment in WebKit, and from what I've observed it seems like they did. Though perhaps not yet to the level they really need. Old habits die hard.

Of course they could just do what Microsoft did and give up. I'm glad they haven't.

Not alt here apparently, or super.
Agreed. Likely in the search of efficiency, which oftentimes brings complexity, which then involves more precision or more pieces to a puzzle, or both.

There is something to be said about the dead simple ways of things for sure, and all depending on object/item but a "sweet spot" where something is pretty darn efficient yet not overly complex.

On a second read you're probably right about it being multiple vendors paying out.
Unsure, but there are lots of variables there and there could be even more we don't know about not mentioned in the paragraph! Maybe more severe cases involved longer periods to help the patient calm down in the dark environment? I dunno! Just something smells fishy. You are right, could have also been training data leaking, just looks like there are multiple leaky elements here potentially!

Also, the study checked ASD participants were autistic by using structured interviews with psychologists against the DSM-5, but the TD participants were never assessed by psychologists, so if autism under-diagnosis is a thing, there could theoretically be false-negatives.
> The spam site was checking for Googlebot IP addresses. If the visitor’s IP address matched as belonging to Google then the spam page displayed content to Googlebot.

Years ago, Google had an explicit policy that sites that showed different content to Googlebot than they showed to regular unauthenticated users were not allowed, and they got heavily penalized. This policy is long gone, but it would help here (assuming the automated tooling to enforce it was any good, and I assume to was).

More recently, Google seems totally okay with sites that show content to Googlebot but go out of their way not to show that content to regular users.

It sounds like (from the shout-out in the post) they're using https://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/LaTeXML/ to convert the paper's LaTeX into HTML, not from PDF.

I was expecting to not like this, but it's actually pretty cool. I love how simple it is and that it's not trying to replace everything.

I used to use the scratch buffer in Emacs all the time, and it is something I missed from emacs. I go between using Obsidian and Trillium for notes, but I'm going to try using Heynote for a scratchpad / quick notes type of thing and copy things from it if it's worth saving.

Maybe a feature request would be the ability to export a block? I wouldn't want it to be complicated so maybe just something like "Export block to command" and then the command could be a customizable curl command or some other command that copies stdin to another app.

Quite a hill to die on. If I were to exhibit the same kind of pedantry you are, where a compound noun can have exactly one meaning regardless of context and specialized terms are disallowed, then I'd point out that computer != CPU so your example is irrelevant.

Folks here are genuinely trying to help. "Modern computer" clearly has a special meaning in the context of building a computer from scratch; the term is used in contrast to calculators or specialized number-crunching machines, both of which are computers and are of interest to tinkerers.
BASIC dialects were already quite advanced in the 1980's, VMS Basic, Turbo Basic, Quick Basic, AMOS, Acorn Basic, for example.

Originally BASIC used a JIT compiler, it was due to the hardware limitations of 8 bit systems that it was know as interpreted language for most folks.

16 bit and 32 bit BASIC supported structured programming, AOT compilation and everything one would expect for systems programming.
> And executives at Warner Bros Discovery appear to have learned absolutely nothing from the experience [of AT&T acquiring and divesting Warner].

> The New York Times indicates that Warner Bros Discovery boss David Zaslav is in early talks to merge with yet another company, this time Paramount (CBS). These mergers provide absolutely no real benefit to the broader world; they exist exclusively so the fail upward brunchlords in charge can nab giant tax breaks and put “savvy dealmaker” on their resumes.

I agree that there might not be broader value, though there is an argument that Paramount and Warner both need to be bigger to compete with Netflix and Disney. What I disagree with is that this is just a move to boost there resumes. This is completely different from the AT&T deal. These are similar companies trailing the market leader, so there are benefits beyond empire building.
There's a good anecdote about that in this fascinating interview with Bob Colwell (https://www.sigmicro.org/media/oralhistories/colwell.pdf):

"Anyway this chip architect guy is standing up in front of this group promising the moon and stars. And I finally put my hand up and said I just could not see how you're proposing to get to those kind of performance levels. And he said well we've got a simulation, and I thought Ah, ok. That shut me up for a little bit, but then something occurred to me and I interrupted him again. I said, wait I am sorry to derail this meeting. But how would you use a simulator if you don't have a compiler? He said, well that's true we don't have a compiler yet, so I hand assembled my simulations. I asked "How did you do thousands of line of code that way?" He said “No, I did 30 lines of code”. Flabbergasted, I said, "You're predicting the entire future of this architecture on 30 lines of hand generated code?" [chuckle], I said it just like that, I did not mean to be insulting but I was just thunderstruck. Andy Grove piped up and said "we are not here right now to reconsider the future of this effort, so let’s move on". I said "Okay, it's your money, if that's what you want."
Suddenly this came up again later in another guise but again Andy shut me off, he said "we're not here to discuss it". Gordon Moore is sitting next to me and hasn’t said a word, he looks to all intents and purposes like he's asleep. He's got his eyes closed most of the time, you think okay, the guy's tired, he's old. But no, 20 minutes into this, he suddenly opens his eyes and he points to me and he asks, "did you get ever get an answer to your question?" and I said, "actually no, none that I can understand". Gordon looked around and says, "how are we planning to move ahead with this, if the answers don't make sense?" and this time Andy Grove said to him "We’re not here to discuss that, Gordon"."
You'll be pleased to know there are plans underway to setup a permanent moon base. I agree the moon has a lot going for it, but I think you have your finger on the scales when comparing the two.

> a catapult and a few days travel

We don't have catapult technology that would work on the moon without solving significant technological challenges. I don't think engineering challenges should hold us back (it's half the fun of these missions), but you cannot use "we don't have the tech" as an argument against mars, and handwave it away for the moon.

> The moon. It's closer, it has pre-made internal cavities,

Mars has lavatubes as well.

> we don't have a means of getting astronauts there without dying of cosmic-ray cancer on the way

People will not die of cancer of cancer in the way. It is likely there is an increased risk to developing cancer, it's not crazy. Some estimates put it at a 20% increase. Hardly a death sentence your post makes it out to be.

> Also, we can actually get there.

Energetically, Mars is not that much further away from us than the moon. It has a thin atmosphere that allows for aerobreaking, and is a useful resource once landed.

> In contrast we've put a man on the moon.

We've put a lot of robots on Mars as well. We've actually got more recent experience landing things on Mars than on the moon, especially large things.

No one is talking about landing humans on Mars without first refining a lot of technology, without being able to reliably land craft with literally tonnes of equipment.

Personally, I'm excited about both prospects, and I'm excited that SpaceX is finally developing the reusable heavy lift capability that we should have had years ago, but for whatever reason people stopped persuing.
