Historic crane populations crashed due to hunting and then loss of habitat as wetlands were drained and agriculture and housing expanded etc. Today you can find cranes in the wild in Norfolk, Suffolk and the Fens district which are all regions with sizeable wetland habitats due to active protection and reintroduction programs. There are small groups of other breeding pairs elsewhere in the UK as well. See following for a quick backgrounder:

The craziest thing is, regardless how people feel about politics, Musk has achieved a lot for technology yet people in technology forums disparage him. I guess politics trumps technology.

Could you elaborate on the proposed solution?
A lot of comments here about AI, but if you actually looked at the source material you'd see that what is shown is a verbatim copy of a thread of user comments using new accounts. This is not an example of an LLM generating AI content, it's a blatant copy of human content with attribution removed.

I guess their license allows them to do this, but wow.
Small community forums (low '000s or even '00s) are bot-resistant because there isn't much value in targeting so few people. Kinda like the old adage of buying a Mac because virus/malware makers got the biggest bang for their buck targeting Windows machines.

I'm on a sports team messageboard that still runs on a mid-00s phpBB backend. There are no bots because there is nothing to propagandize about on such a small, topically focused community.

That's really the problem in broad strokes. Getting consumers off gas is all well and good, but even in the worst cases for some of the longest commutes I know of and people who love long road trips, that's probably at most 90 minutes of daily engine usage that's eliminated. That's just... fucking nothing compared to stuff like construction equipment and LTL trucks, that are both far larger in sheer engine size and carbon emissions, and run upwards from 12 hours a day. Bigger more consistently operating vehicles are better targets to actually get carbon emissions down, and they're far harder to electrify, as we're seeing.

Nobody wants to talk about the fact that just shipping less unnecessary shit would do tremendously more for the environment than the greenest tech available, in the same way it initially made such big waves during the early days of the pandemic. Like, imagine how much CO2 would be saved if we just shut down essential oils tomorrow. The whole thing, the entire industry, because it's flagrantly bullshit. I'm not even saying it's an industry that produces a ton of CO2, I'm just saying it's an industry that produces CO2 while accomplishing nothing useful.

It has often been called "WebExtensions" or "WebExt" for a long time [1].
I wasn't even aware that it's just referred as "browser extensions" on MDN [2] now (..and the URL still uses "WebExtensions" and it's all over the actual article content. So I don't know.)

To me, 'WebExt' represents a specific specification within the broader category of browser extensions. However, since all major browsers now support this specification (and this only), it has become the de facto standard.

I hope someone more familiar with this topic can provide a more precise explanation

Remember that elections are coming in the US, and it is likely that the new Cambridge Analytica-like are ramping up operations. Not sure that's the case here, but I saw an increase of politically hinted posts recently from obvious fake accounts.
The thing is, he’s never been paid to stay quiet and focus on the money.

Musk’s value add is as the celebrity CEO; the Jobsian ideal taken to its natural conclusion. He’s supposed to be this forward-looking visionary and having him at the helm of your company is supposed to make it forward-looking by proxy.

This is all well and good until the celebrity CEO fries his brain with Special K and builds a bubble of yes-men around him. Then it becomes a massive liability.
> an important part of the execution logic now lives in the driver

> potentially disastrous for mysql

This is completely incorrect. The MySQL client side isn't responsible for execution steps and this isn't part of its wire protocol at all.

With prepared statements, the server parses the statement and gives the client back a handle, which is basically just a unique identifier that the client can use to invoke the prepared statement.

I know a couple of people who moderate niche-but-active subreddits, and they're still inundated with spam. The only real difference is that they can stay on top of it, for the most part. So yeah, the niche subreddits are still alive, but I think they're struggling.

Yes, but there were some calculations for this - http://astronautix.com/n/n1blocksr.html - which hints on boiling off to be manageable for large stages.
The myth is not in 2nd chances; our ability to adapt and be resilient is hard but doable - ex: 1st time immigrants chasing the American dream.

The myth is in our ability to make "choices" which shifts the narrative to "hard work" rather than luck, perpetuated by survivorship bias and those "who have made it".

Is the typical attribution error.

> The craziest thing is

I wouldn't call it crazy to point to someone with a documented history of lying and say that their word can't be trusted. Rather, that's called basic pattern recognition.
> Reddit is not dying, just the giant stadium size subreddits are trash.

From a user's PoV, this is at worst a good thing and at best completely irrelevant.

I never go to the large subreddits anyway (political, news, pics, etc), so whether or not they are around, or around and filled with LLM trash is completely irrelevant to me.

OTOH, the subreddits I do visit are alive and well and show no signs of being less valuable to me than before.
One of the worst Tesla designs is the big honking center touch screen that everything runs through.

Just turning the wipers on becomes a road safety hazard.

Using a touch screen while driving is now illegal in most states --- and for good reason. Tesla *requires* the use of a touch screen.
One of my higher-voted comments on Reddit was in response to some thread bemoaning the decline of the site towards lowest-common-denominator meme content and recycled jokes. My comment was pointing out that people had been saying that for years, with multiple links to past, nearly identical threads.

I made that comment in 2012.

The closed-source Discord that has bots built into the platform, that's the solution?

I wish more people would try Discourse, which is threaded like a real messageboard without all the automation bells and whistles.
I think Elon operates on a different temporal plane than regular humans. When he says "next year", that means "I have no fucking idea" or "like ten years from now maybe?"

At some point though, it's hard to even blame him; investors keep enabling him. It's extremely easy to find all the cases of outright dishonesty that he's said (e.g. "We'll have full self driving next year", every year since like 2018), investors should really know about this, and they still give him money.

I don't really get it, outside of S&P500 ETFs that I don't really control the strategy of, I won't give Tesla any money, since it seems like everything Musk does is kind of corner-cut. The Cybertruck release epitomizes this, where they're charging an extra $20,000 for the potential of a Full Self Driving feature eventually just seems cartoonish, and maybe getting to fraudulent territory? (IANAL)
I still get some use and entertainment out of Reddit by staying to more niche subreddits. They draw people who are a little more willing and able to curate the social environment--willing in that it can be an extension of the hobby or interest, able in that it's small enough to be feasible for people to do it. I don't think you could say the same about the big ones, their size might actually make it impossible for human curation.

To that end, my harebrained idea is to put a hard cap on the number of members a subreddit can have, and restrict posting and voting to those members. If people want, they can create <subreddit>2 and so on, each cluster self-regulating. To prevent squatting, you can only spawn a new one once the last one reaches a critical mass, and it has to be started by a member of the old one.
Seems plausible that LLMs have made it much easier to fool Reddit's own metrics by generating "original" content and comments.

>I guess their license allows them to do this, but wow.

Reddit's terms says:

Users only grant reddit to repost their comment, not anyone else. Are you claiming that reddit themselves are doing the reposting?
They are not exactly dumb, but they didn't need to be smart given how apathetic European security agencies have been for decades.

Of course, Bellingcat barely scratched the surface and mainly exposed glorified hitmen rather than actual influence and information agents. There are still probably thousands of illegals with large amounts of legalized money, wide acquaintance networks and zero interest from who should be on top of their arses.
Why would I dedicate my time to a subreddit that might vanish overnight or might get taken over by the admins? Way back, subreddits were independent forums, and now they're one protest away from being kidnapped.
For the purposes of just generating activity in a subreddit and building karma history for bot accounts, replaying proven content verbatim is more reliable and cost-effective.

LLM paraphrasing is likely to either drift away from "what worked" towards unknown territory or introduce tics that don't really cohere quite right. We can confidently assume it's being used as part of other strategies, but it's not actually optimal here.

The real issue is that Reddit (and Facebook, Youtube, Amazon, Tinder, etc) have very little incentive to aggressively police against this until and unless examples like this make big news and start to harm their general reputation. In the meantime, it just makes their sites look more alive and popular. It's good for them right up until they it becomes a defining association with their brand. This lazy approach works for the bots and the sites, so there's no reason to overcomplicate or take on bigger risks.
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s that the dude spews whatever out of his mouth and the broader public and media take him at his word when time again its been seen that his word doesn’t mean shit.

I like the flexibility of the iPad. I use it a lot for note taking during meetings. I use it to draw architectural diagrams without having to deal with drag and drop interfaces. Plus, not always I find the need for a keyboard. In fact, my favorite setup was an Apple keyboard plus iPad Pro. It almost solved my use case with VS Codespaces. Almost. I think I may re-visit the Raspberry pi solution for now.

These days, my work is almost mostly AI related, so I am on Google Colab most of the time too. So, the use case for a proper laptop without a touchscreen is diminishing with each day (for me).

Individual semiconductors everywhere I’ve seen (I work in that industry) still generally design for lifespans that are at minimum 10 years under worst case conditions (which is typically worse process corner plus worst temperature).

Unless someone else (like parents) stand as guarantors, I think the greatest predictor for a default will be how competent the candidate is after finishing the education.

Also, instead of allowing a bankruptcy at any time, student loan down payment could be limited to max 25% of income after tax OR 10% of net worth, whichever is greater, with any balance after 30 years transferred to the college.

Objectives:
1) Reduce the incentive for colleges to offer education tracks that they KNOW (or should have known) will never lead to much beyond a minimum pay job.
2) Prevent unlucky or unsuccessful students to get stuck with an impossibly large loan that just keeps growing, absorbing all they earn or own.
3) Ensure that students still do feel some pain when this happens, but not so much that they lose all incentive to build themselves up. They still keep 75% of their income after tax AND they're guaranteed that the loan will end within 30 years.
4) Incentivize pricing of of the student loans in ways that reflect the risks involved. If students that study "lesbian dance theory" have to pay a 10% interest rate while Physics students pay only 5%, that's a pretty strong indication that the "credit score" for the former is pretty bad.
5) Also incentivize minimizing cost while maximize the useful learning for the college, to minimize the risk that they'll be stuck with too much of the debt.

If this leads to some (presumed worthy) students having fewer opportunities than they otherwise would have, it's still possible for the collages, government or others to provide stipends or other similar forms of support.
Looks very cool! Love the conceptual simplicity of it. I’m wondering if I develop in Python on my MacBook and use a library like PIL (Pillow) which on my Mac is ARM-specific, will rx install the Intel version in the cloud?

I don't think there is a universally best way. It rather depends on exactly what you're doing. The critical thing is that there is some unambiguous way to signal that an invalid mathematical operation occurred. As a default, I prefer to handle it by throwing an exception.

But really, I prefer to engineer the code such that divide-by-zero errors cannot occur. A divide-by-zero is an invalid operation better to be avoided entirely.

If you're a college sports fan, /r/cfb, /r/collegebasketball, and /r/collegebaseball are excellent. The first two are large subreddits, but their mods absolutely stay on top of things. Not just clearing out spam and off-topic discussion, but also posting "official" game threads and post-game summaries so you don't have dozens of "Auburn defeats Alabama 34-28" posts clogging up the front page.
