Did you continue to use those same Gmail/Outlook accounts for your deliverability testing? Because that would explain why you're not encountering any deliverability issues in your testing.

Try to create fresh Gmail and Outlook accounts and see if you can actually deliver to them.
I use it when I'm writing code.

Grandiose, large-scale automation has to start with a simple system that just works and is miles better than what it is replacing. To shrug off how AI changes the act of coding is, in my mind, to miss everything that matters about this technology.

When I use it, I'm in two halves. One part is engaged in the task itself (whatever I happen to be building). The other part is observing why the process feels comparatively so much better.

Here’s a read on Russian doctrine:

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/article/strategy-policy-th...

Excerpt that’s relevant:

Russia’s scheme for war occurs in six stages, beginning before the war actually begins. At the low end—in peacetime and under military threat—Russia will conduct nonkinetic warfare (cyber and psychological operations) against enemies while publicly demonstrating new nuclear weapons, raising overall readiness and alert levels, and deploying weapons for potential use. In a “local war,” Russian strategy calls for “grouped use” of precision strike conventional weapons to inflict damage on enemy territory, strikes on conventional military targets, and threatening to use nuclear weapons.

Under “regional war”—war with NATO or China—Russia would employ “massed use” of precision weapons on enemy forces, adding “single or grouped use” of tactical nuclear weapons, possibly to demonstrate that Russia is willing to use them.

In “large-scale war,” Russia would make “large-scale use” of nonstrategic nuclear weapons, and conduct both strategic and nonstrategic nuclear strikes on enemy economic targets. Finally, under “nuclear war,” Russia would unleash “mass use” of its nuclear triad against military and nonmilitary targets.

The precursor stage to war—setting a favorable atmosphere for Russia to prevail—employs “nonmilitary means,” which broadly include “political, information (both psychological and technical), diplomatic, economic, legal, spiritual/moral, and humanitarian measures,” according to a 2011 Russian defense paper. Overt tactics in this stage include “implementing economic sanctions, imposing economic blockades, forming coalitions and unions, breaking off diplomatic relations, and conducting information warfare,” it said. Prevailing political conditions will determine when and to what extent these means are used, and they must be constantly adapted to the fluid situation, the authors note.

Nonmilitary means of war are a “force multiplier,” Russian doctrine holds, which “serve to weaken and reduce an opponent’s forces and capabilities, and even completely eliminating a military threat.” Coordination between military and nonmilitary means are a must. In fact, a 2013 defense article by Russian Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov, head of the military forces, contends that “in a number of cases,” nonmilitary means of coercion “significantly surpassed the power of weapons in their effectiveness.” Gerasimov said the ratio of nonmilitary to military methods of warfare is 4-to-1.

It’s important to separate the way that Russia fights from their strategic objectives, especially in light of maskirovka. With Russia, it’s often many levels of intent with hidden objectives.

Some of Egan's shorts are the most haunting explorations of what it means to be human that I've read -- maybe try those.

But yes, Egan's philosophy is that sci-fi can be about the human story OR about the science. Both are valid.

From this long interview:

> I’m interested in science as a subject in its own right, just as much as I’m interested in the effects of technology on the human condition. In many things I write the two will be combined, but even then it’s important to try to describe the science accurately. In a novel such as Incandescence, though, the entire point is understanding the science, and it really doesn’t bother me in the least that it’s not an exploration of the human condition.

> There are times when it’s worth putting aside the endless myopic navel-gazing that occupies so much literature, in order to look out at the universe itself and value it for what it is.

Yep most certainly. Those are pretty neat little devices actually. Easy to put into developer mode and you can use wireless adb to get a shell and install apps, but to me the killer feature is being able to send it "button press" commands over adb. Basically a virtual remote control from the CLI.

I used this to write myself some bash functions so I can pause the chromecast from the CLI. Once connected (with for example `adb connect 192.168.1.243`), you can send a play/pause through adb with just:

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

I can also trivially start an app like Jellyfin with:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n org.jellyfin.androidtv/.ui.startup.StartupActivity

If it's helpful to anyone, I threw my bash functions into a gist. These were only intended for private use so don't expect it to be pretty: https://gist.github.com/FreedomBen/8ea4cd890621521fb9bb2bf36...

After sourcing, you can use the aliases like `adbplaypause` or call the functions directly. I normally use the aliases
Haha... I agree about it being subjective! I find that I enjoy the process as much as the result. It's like bringing order to a chaotic universe. :)

The thing is, I don't have many segfaults in C, and I find C much easier to debug and hunt down issues in than even C++ (which I also enjoy). Also, because C uses very little "magic", and I also know exactly what I'm getting with my code, I find it much easier to reason about.

I heard a quote the other day while watching a presentation "When you're young you want results, when you're old you want control." I think I'm on the old side now.

As for Go, I genuinely don't have anything against it, but I don't see why I need it either. I don't doubt that others have stellar use cases and impressive results with Go, and that's fine, too, but I don't sense any lack which prompts me to investigate further. I would love to learn more about it, but most of what I see online is either over-the-top (and therefore vomit-inducing) fanboyism, or otherwise unspectacular, which makes me ask "why bother?"
> This might be indicative of deliverability issues affecting some domains only.

I mean maybe? I remember when we switched from google groups that I checked and the % of opens and that it seemed fairly evenly distributed given that the percentage of gmail users far outweighs the percentage of yahoo/aol users, and to be honest I've not bothered to check much more beyond that point. But the core group of crotchety old folks who frequently send round interesting local stories are a decent mix. The last couple of days I see 4 different gmail accounts, one work domain (that I assume is outlook but might be some other provider), the aforementioned aol account, and the burner riseup account that I use when I am feeling crotchety.

> The fact that some gmail users can see emails doesn't mean 100% of gmail users are delivered your email.

Sure, its possible but I've not seen any evidence of it after we made the transition. I've seen email sent from gmail accounts to gmail accounts not get delivered, expecting 100% is never going to be realistic even with the largest mail providers.

Unless and until I start getting in person complaints (which, trust me, I would if there was a problem) or see people mention emails going into spam, I'm going to keep on keeping on.
I wonder how they got these results, seeing as they are not showing any of the usual UI's (i.e. ChatGPT/Copilot).

It makes it difficult for me to ascertain whether it is repeating from it's training data, or they committed the same mistake as the OP article of using Copilot, which ends up googling(binging?) the article first, before replying.
I felt really sad reading this. I did mathematics contests at school - a team contest where our school's team reached the final and maths olympiads, where I did well enough to go to the IMO selection session. I loved them and have lots of fond memories of them. I wanted to do well obviously, but mostly did them because they were fun and loved beautiful mathematics problems and trying to solve them.

I wonder if part of the difference is that universities here in the UK aren't too worried by extracurriculars, especially for maths and science subjects.

I don't think my participation in contests was a factor in getting a place at Oxford - only the exams and to a lesser extent the interviews were. There's a short section on your general university application form where you write about such things, but unless you write something totally daft, it's general not a big factor. I interviewed people applying to Oxford for maths one year, and we really didn't pay any attention to the candidates' 'personal statements', although if any had been remarkable I guess we might have noticed. My mother was the maths admissions tutor at Imperial for years, and again they really didn't worry too much either - they cared about A-level grades mostly.

Is GA counting Firefox on iOS as Firefox or Safari?
Yes, but I did want to sync my installed extensions, just in a way that the extension layout was preserved without further intervention, and not interrupting the initial flow with all the "extension installed" tabs. I will always want to install uBlock and my password manager in every Firefox instance, for example, so that seems like a perfect use case for sync. Plus, some extensions have a lot of config that would be a hassle to copy over every time (like Redirector).

Now that I think about it, I don't remember Sync handling syncing extension settings on top of install state.

Beauty products are in the ballpark but are also a different ball game. Unless you're licensed or very educated on what chemicals and chemical combinations do to your skin picking beauty products can be tough. My partner is an esthetician and most of what she spends her time doing is helping people pick products that won't adversely impact their skin or just do nothing. Beauty is chalk full of fake products and worse influencers who push them onto unsuspecting/unknowing people. It's given rise to an industry of estheticians who don't make money on purchases but who collect a fee to just help you sift through the bullshit.

Recently, I noticed that Amazon removed the listed ingredients for regular items like toothpaste, shampoos, and mouthwashes. Initially, I thought it was a mistake for a couple of items I regularly buy, but it seems they have removed this information for many products. I'm not sure what the intention behind this change is. My suspicion now (after this article) is that they are doing it deliberately, allowing them to claim that the page doesn't list ingredients for any item.

It would not have made any difference. Humans love hierarchy and it's obvious you are too far down the hierarchy to have made any difference.
I think there are forces in play beyond what the Csuite can control. Microsoft and Google have bigger platforms with more reach. If anything, it explains why Mozilla is trying to expand beyond the browser so they have more ways to reach people and try wooing them into using Firefox.

I’m having a hard time thinking how else you’d market Firefox to regular users beyond word of mouth advocacy. I remember Firefox running TV ads once, no idea how effective that was.

Firefox used to be significantly better than IE which drove adoption but since Chrome is heavily invested in I don’t think Firefox can compete purely by being the better browser. The strategy from the “the good old days” doesn’t work here.

Also, I was looking for a specific example. Saying that the C-Suite is bad because market share is down is not an answer without context of how it could have been avoided which is not obvious. How could they have retained or grown the market share they had?

I’m not saying management bears no responsibility but not all companies fail because of bad management alone. They have big, well funded competitors and platforms users can’t ignore. In particular, Windows, Google Search, Gmail, IOS, and Android. So much browsing is done online and default browsers rule there.

Now you could say Firefox should have come to mobile sooner. Firefox OS was an interesting idea that might have had legs but who knows if it would have caught on. That work required them to divert attention away from the browser and they have a smaller warchest to devote on an idea that might not payoff.
>Resilience in the Depths: First Example of Fin Regeneration in a Silky Shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) following Traumatic Injury

https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jmb/2023/6639805/

Abstract

Tissue regeneration and wound healing remain extremely understudied in elasmobranchs as many wounds are recorded through one-off opportunistic observations with an inability for long-term monitoring of individuals. This study demonstrates partial fin regeneration of a silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) almost one year after a traumatic injury that resulted in a 20.8% loss of the first dorsal fin. The shark was photographed 332 days after the recorded injury with a newly shaped dorsal fin that had healed to 87% of the original size. Photographs provided by divers allowed for accurate measurements of fin growth, confirming an approximate 10.7% increase in fin area, indicative of tissue regeneration. Wound healing rate was calculated to conclude that the initial wound reached complete closure by day 42, which is analogous with other elasmobranch healing rates. Prior to this study, only one other record of dorsal fin regeneration had been documented in a whale shark. This provides the first evidence of dorsal fin regeneration in a silky shark and contributes to the limited studies of wound healing rates in sharks. This newfound insight into tissue regeneration and wound healing underscores the importance of further research to understand how they respond to traumatic injury in the face of mounting environmental challenges, both natural and anthropogenic. Additionally, this study exemplifies the power of collaboration between researchers and the public, including photographers and divers, to expand the scope of research studies and bridge the gap between science and society.

You agree with the point I made but don’t like the statement, “We’ve done 9/11 type events on other nations for decades.” I’m perplexed by this. Don’t see how it can be a fruitful experience to nitpick that statement of mine when you agree with the point I was making. The examples I gave weren’t close enough to the 9/11 in details for you so you nitpicked that and ignored my point. Which you have now stated you agree with. This is why I periodically delete my account on this site. Yes, I know, delete isn’t the technically correct term but it is close enough. I change usernames and reset my previous password to a random string so that I can’t use it anymore. It is a deletion of sorts.

And hilariously, Mozilla screamed blue-bloody-murder when people asked for Webserial (which they define as a standard themselves!) in Firefox which would make flashing devices much easier, for developers and users.

One asshole Mozilla employee responded with "no, the danger is too great" and spouted a crazy theoretical involving someone's pacemaker getting connected to Firefox and malware blah blah blah.

People pointed out that Firefox access people's cameras and microphones, and Chrome offers Web Serial support and users have to allow the permission and pick a device to connect to, a site can't just connect to any serial device.

Cue handwaving about "we have higher standards than that smelly privacy-violating evil browser."

You're the one presenting unfounded claims with confidence here. There is well established case law about not being able to copyright facts.

An LLM takes an input string a corpus of text, and returns a series of text that best comes after the next input string.

To get a paragraph of output, you run the search over and over again

Both the search and LLM reshuffle the inputs to the outputs.

If I'm describing the purpose of the LLM, it's got a wide number of usages. "Making my resume look more professional" or "be a crud api" or "reformat my ask into a api call to X service" or "give me a timeline of events surrounding Y with source links"
I would say that all the additional complications make it even more imperative not to conflate the cancellation with the correction (another source of complexity into the mix), but do a clean cancel (as much as possible) followed by a reissue.

If there is any problem with the $200 cancellation, that has no effect on the correctness of the $50 reissue, which is entirely independent. It's easier to reason about problems with the $200 cancelation. Ideally, all affected accounts should be reimbursed as if the original never happened. If some account is debited $12.34 and then later credited $12.34, that's easy to match up and verify.

This is a misunderstanding of the slideshow. As can be seen on slide 10, productivity is "Number of office actions / period of time" and slide 12 shows the breakdown of how production units are calculated from office actions. A final disposition (allowance, appeal, or abandonment) is worth twice as much as a final rejection; however, that does not mean an examiner is incentivized to allow patents. Rather, they are incentivized to get to the end of the process by either allowing the patent, having the patentee appeal the examiner's final rejection, or by the patentee abandoning their application. Which of these three occurs is irrelevant to the examiner, although as I said before: an allowance take the least amount of effort.

In fact, the most production units that can be obtained by a patent examiner for any particular patent is to issue a final rejection, get the patentee to ask for re-examination, reject again, and then have the patentee abandon the patent.
