Ok so the US DEA detonates explosives on cartel members.

Your daughter is enjoying a cappuccino at a bistro when a cartel member walks by, the device detonates burning and scarring her face. You’re good with it.

Your oldest son has ordered a deli sandwich and is waiting for his order. He kneels down to tie his shoes. Next to him is a cartel member. The device detonates, destroying his ear drum. You’re good with it.

Your sister is shopping for produce at the market, as she walks past a cartel member to choose an avocado, the device detonates, maiming her left hand. She loses her fingers and is let go from her job as a software engineer. You’re good with it.

Your mom sits down in an empty seat on public transportation. The man next to her is cartel. The device detonates and shrapnel pierces an artery in her leg. She dies. You’re good with it.

Your brother, nephew, and youngest son are walking down the street. You were supposed to pick the kids up at 3pm but had to work late. You asked your brother to walk them home instead. A cartel member is driving a vehicle down the same road. Suddenly the device detonates and they lose control, the vehicle swerves up on the sidewalk striking all three. Your brothers leg is maimed and mangled, before he passes out from pain he watches his son die, trapped beneath the vehicle. Your son is flung into a wall and suffers a severe brain injury, he survives but never walks or talks again. You change his diapers for the next 40 years. You’re good with it.

Your dad is an ER doctor, a man comes in complaining of trouble breathing. As your dad is listening to his lungs, the device detonates, ejecting shrapnel into your father’s face. The man was part of the cartel, if he doesn’t work for them, they will kill his sister. Your father is blinded and can no longer practice medicine. You’re good with it.
I won't disagree with you about some people liking to keep secrets just as much as others like to spill them, but could you give an example of how trauma would cause someone to want to do the former?
The lawmakers regulated that a website should warn you, and then upgraded to ask for your consent, before collecting and storing privately identifiable information about you.

The regulation doesn't mention cookie popups. The easiest way to comply is to not collect nor store any such information.

Can AI agents beat humans?
I have been using LanguageTool[1] for years as "an open source alternative to [old school] Grammarly". It doesn't do that fancy "make this text more professional" AI stuff like this or Grammarly can now do, but they offer a self-hosted version so you don't need to send everything you write to OpenAI. If all you want is a better spelling/grammar checker, I highly recommend it.

[1] - https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool
Non-native speakers find it useful since it doesn't just fix spelling but also fixes correctness, directness, tone and tense. It gives you an indication of how your writing comes across, e.g. friendly, aggressive, assertive, polite.

English can be a very nuanced language - easy to learn, difficult to master. Grammarly helps with that.
This is troubling news, as we could soon be paying $2,500 for an iPhone within the next three years. The original reason for outsourcing was to keep costs down, and now, with this trade war, it's clear consumers will bear the burden.

While some may see the return of manufacturing to the U.S. as a win for national pride, the reality is more complex. The high cost of U.S. labor, combined with excessive bureaucracy, leads to higher production costs, which ultimately get passed on to consumers. There's nothing inherently beneficial about manufacturing in the U.S. other than symbolic gestures tied to identity politics.

Most consumers want affordable, high-quality products, not overpriced goods that may be touted as "Made in America" but offer no real value beyond that label. Instead of focusing on where products are made, the priority should be on ensuring that they are durable and not part of a system of planned obsolescence. We want iPhones that last longer, not cost more, yet U.S. manufacturing may drive up prices without offering real improvements in quality or longevity.

Unfortunately, the consumer is losing in this scenario—stuck paying for rising costs while receiving little in return. We need to reassess the real benefits of domestic manufacturing and whether they justify the inevitable price hikes. It’s clear that without a shift in strategy, we're moving toward a future where innovation is stifled by political posturing and unnecessary cost inflation.
If you're no longer citizen you won't be accountable for any tax accrued after you're no longer a citizen.

But you're still accountable for debt, so all they need is to frame this as taxes on earnings and property that you have accrued while you were a citizen and you keep to be accountable for your debts even after you renounce the citizenship.

Now, what can the US government actually do to you while you're no longer a citizen depends a lot where you live and whether you care traveling or doing business with the US again

Would the explosives in these pagers have been caught by something like TSA? I could imagine that at please *some* of the owners had to have flown with them.

Were they caught? If not, why not?
This is the first time ever someone blames me for Holocaust denial [0], but I'll give you another example then. If someone breaks into your house and tries to kill you, you might want to kill them too, but it's a little funny to say that there's symmetry there because "both want to kill each other!".

[0] to remove any doubt, I am not. I'm not sure how you got there, but I would insane to deny an event the took the lives of many from my family.
This doesn't read quite right to me. Maybe I missed something.

Under the GDPR sites are emphatically NOT allowed to deny service over rejecting cookies.

Iirc the only valid options are providing a paid alternative or blocking service to the entire class of GDPR covered citizens.
So, the problem with this is: the law. If you use session management: GOOD NEWS GDPR AND CPPA UNDER PENALTY OF THE COURTS DEMAND YOU INFORM USERS and if you know a better way than an intrusive "accept this before you can continue" by all means pipe up but the problem is overbearing laws, not "people following them". The law requires that you disallow access until people tell you their position on your handling of their personally identifiable information and welcome to modern web dev hell. If you don't like it, hell has done its job.

Both Europe and California consider IP addresses PII and this is the result.
I'm a big fan of Grammarly and have been using it, and paying for it, for years.

The advantage is not spell checking. It is grammar and style improvements. It tells you things like "this language is informal", or "this is a better word for that".

I can relate to you - I've been through a lot of shit with my OCD but I have finally figured it out. I found that in my case, diet plays a huge role. If I consume sugary crap it ruins my day, whereas something fresh like a lot of fruits and vegetables promotes calmness on the inside. Along with that, fitness is another thing that worked wonders. I would be on turbo mode with my mind working 3x more effectively with 0 anxiety after a quick workout and it would stay that way for a long time during the day.

For psychological changes - I trained myself mentally to not care about any shit so much actually, and I made it a habit of giving my best at everything I do, regardless of the outcome. I was a huge underachiever for a long time and a vast majority of the reason for all that was basically my own fear of failing. Once I started to only care about investing my best effort and not thinking about the results, I started to see some stellar consequences. The other piece of puzzle is to keep myself busy and occupied. It works wonders and gives me that calming feeling when I am focused on things. Working on my favorite projects is another plus. It will be a plus in your case too, I am sure.

I found that my neurodivergence is also my superpower that helps me identify and think of solutions incredibly quickly and effectively. That gave me a lot of confidence. I've been on a roll ever since. I keep pushing myself to higher limits that my baseline is now high by default. I have mentally trained myself in such a way that success is the only thing I live for now, and I am not going to settle for anything less than extraordinary. I will make sure my son also gets this sort of coaching from me from the get-go.

In your case with the projects you have at hand, I will recommend attacking them one at a time, and not touch others until you arrive at a closing point for the current project. That will surely reduce the mental load. Also, doing things to improve your outlook on your own self works wonders. It provides positivity and self-belief. You can do this.
Weren't these people mostly emergency responders? Like doctors and EMTs? And yes, killed several, but also injured thousands? I'm a little concerned by the vocabulary used in the op title.
There are huge, important segments of the macOS user base that require the ability to compile and run their own applications, locally. macOS has pretty much taken over all of academic science & education, & personal workstations for government research. It is the default platform for developers of all kinds in Silicon Valley. As Steve Balmer once argued, it's developers that matter to the long-term health of a platform. Apple deftly captured that market by providing a beautiful and easy to use UNIX-like environment with high quality hardware and good design. If Apple locked down macOS the same way they lock down iOS, it would be the largest foot-gun in the history of computing.

Simultaneously, while the user interface of macOS has converged on iOS over the last half dozen releases and the ecosystems are more tightly integrated, not a single one of these changes has gotten in the way of developers running their own code. The situation now is no different than it was in 2006, for example. What has been made more difficult is running untrusted binaries downloaded from the internet. That's not the same thing.

>These days though, people are probably better off buying an appropriate Ryzen processor and motherboard that explicitly supports ECC.

As I pointed out before, you can't do that for a media server. Transcoding is necessary for many (most?) users.

>That's not really relevant to the point of them only allowing ECC on Xeon chips though. They do (or at least did) support ECC on non-Xeon chips.

That's a distinction without a difference: those other non-Xeon chips aren't useful if you can't even buy them because you're not an OEM.
uBlock Origin has cookie notice filters. I don't think this is enabled by default; you can enable it in the Filter Lists section, along with "annoyances".
Israel has a mandatory military service, and they have been cultivating technical talent development in their armed forces for a long time. So I would think that the arrow of causality runs the opposite way.

In other words: virtually every Israeli has been in the military, and for the technically competent ones, were likely to be recruited into their offensive intelligence unit. Coupled with a government whose industrial strategy has been to promote business development in this sector, we are in a situation where practically every single founder of an Israeli tech company has a military service background.

Those with (offensive) infosec mindset end up founding infosec focused businesses, knowing that there is readily available investment available for them. As a result, the Venn diagram between the unit members and infosec business founders is likely to show a pretty big overlap.
Linux and the popular Linux distributions are not POSIX compliant to begin with. Only GNU tries to be, and even GNU adds on a ludicrous amount of extensions because the truth is POSIX isn't good enough.
Not to get into it here, but i believe the fancy non-lethal warnings is done for the TV audience. There are so many incidents of bombings civilian areas stretching back for decades. And the statistics for the IDF killings of children alone are off the scale.

I think you’re basically describing ground.news

They advertise pretty heavily, and I’ma bit skeptical of their ability to make money. but it basically uses AI to summarize stories, and it groups stories from many media outlets, categorizes their bias, and shows the slant of the topic overall.
Chip manufacturing is critical for national security, which is to say world security, if you like the Pax Americana (and you should). This is not some trade war thing. My only actual concern about this is that it may make the US less willing to intervene if the CCP invades Taiwan, and we absolutely should intervene if that happens.
TLDR - I hired a freelance QA tester to test a SaaS product, head to head with our AI-agent for QA. It went better than expected!
Israel drone struck Jose Andres' food truck program this year.

Between these acts of war between stupid, angry countries, there needs to be not just guarantees for aid workers, but broad international condemnation of tactics that violate the Geneva Convention and related principles. And those principles are long overdue for high-tech drone strikes, robotics and electronics warfare.
Still more than enough to custom-build a bunch of batteries. I have no love for the Israeli regime, but this is ridiculous.
The "grammar" part, at least in a professional setting. You might be shocked at how many people will write an email pretty much like they would talk to friends at a club or send a text message (complete with emojis!) or just generally butcher professional correspondence.
He can't lead any kind of normal life, no amount of professional help or supervision will change that, he doesn't have any rational experience of the world around him. His usual day is filled with running around the room, bumping into walls while screaming. As he becomes an adult, he more frequently needs to be tied down to the bed (done by professional psychiatrists at a hospital). He never has a moment of lucidity, you can't talk to him about anything; he understands speech and can talk, but it's phrases like "NEED PEE NOOOOOOOOOW" screamed at the top of his lungs, and not much else. Then you need to drag him there while he fights you, he doesn't understand you're trying to fulfill his request. The more pressing the matter, the more will he fight everything and everyone around; of course that also means that the pee or feces usually end up outside the toilet, so he's wearing a diaper. He has preferences for toys and children's cartoons, but the only way he makes others aware of that is that it calms him down, he never said something such as "I like X" and from brain imaging results the doctors don't think he has thoughts like that, as his brain is permanently so overstimulated he's constantly in flight-or-fight instinctive mode. Which is good, actually - it means that if this overstimulation could be somehow lessened, he actually might become capable of having something resembling a normal life.

So, the help I said he needs is the researchers to keep looking for ways to decrease the impact of his autism, instead of listening to people saying stuff like "autism doesn't need to be cured".

The .net implementation is about as clean as it can get, but a lot of that has to do with Microsoft caring very deeply about this kind of performance data for a very long time (thus having the entire System.Diagnostics namespace).

There’s certainly some abstraction that is gratuitous still, but it’s better than most of the architect astronaut code I’ve seen targeting the CLR.

OP here.

Re-reading this bit, I agree my wording is very clunky. What I meant by "whether we know the bias of the input bit stream or not" was:

[For p≠1/2] whether you know the value of p or not, this is the best approach. Of course, p=1/2 is the trivial case where we can just pass through..
Really interesting modernist take.

I would say there is a mistreatment and reductionistic mischaracterization of the current age as a “void”. Further, the choice of paganism (belief) and the “void” is a false dichotomy. Post-structuralism partially developed as a response to the “void”.

I don’t think you can faithfully engage with post-structural ideas and simply write it off as nonsense—they seem to answer a lot of the questions in the article.

Particularly the part where the author suggests atheists form a sort of pseudo-religion. I think post-structuralism deals with how to operate when left only with belief and narrative (i.e. only the pseudo-pagan performance). The conclusions in the article seem very similar to post-structural first principles/common strands of thinking.

Of course, you could write off those post-structural ideas as non-sense because it attempts to make sense of nothing (literally, the “void”). Sort of a garbage in garbage out scenario.

I could probably write a whole essay in response, so to cut it short I just said “post-structural ideas”, which, in fairness, is broad, generally a very loaded term, and in need of some more elaboration.

Utopia is just around the corner as long as everyone does exactly as I say rather than being driven by self interest.
Arguable in general, but certainly not if you’re the American government, which is what is being discussed here.
You don’t provide any data to support your premise. There’s an intervening 10 years between acceptance into medical school and showing up at a surgery table. Show the connection between MCAT scores and surgery outcomes.
Goes to show that America's reticence towards social programs is not ideological, but rather simply partisan. They are happy to socialize the regressive religious bullshit that they approve of.

Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization by most countries that also have airport security. I really doubt the people with these pagers would go anywhere near a TSA checkpoint.
Whatever words you're reading when you look at mine might be incredible, what I wrote is almost 3000 wounded in the crossfire, including children.

You're ignoring that and pretending they're accused of something else. Why?
Thats interesting because I arrived at the same conclusion.

At first glance for me it really seemed like its a font strait out of a elementary grade level textbook. Maybe its the website layout, maybe its that the font is huge and spaced the same, I'm not sure.

As far as easier to read, I am on the fence versus monospaced computer fonts if its any better or not. I wonder what their research behind this is but the website started to bug me so I didnt dig deeper personally
Aha, so in the case of Bắc Ninh, its English name is the same as it is in Vietnamese; with diacritics.

I was going to say Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City have gotten english names indirectly due to their popularity or relevance in Vietnam, but the main capital of Vietnam, Hà Nội, has the same problem as Bắc Ninh where its English name is the same as the Vietnamese name.

I guess there's no logical reason behind this, as this sort of data is likely crowd sourced.

> What dependencies does it install

For all of the built-in adapters to work, you'll need ffmpeg, pandoc, and poppler-utils. See the Scoop package [1] for a specific example of this.

> does it create a bunch of caches, that clog up storage and/or memory?

YMMV, but in my opinion ripgrep-all is pretty conservative in its caching. The cache files are all isolated to a single directory (whose location respects OS convention) and their contents are limited to plaintext that required processing to extract.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I believe the way you stated this is accurate.

The regulation and its outcome was clearly not understood or intended by those who mandated it. Absolutely everyone is suffering from this.

As for the "not care", I think the primary issue is that most people don't make much effort to understand the things they use. If they understood what was going on, they would be more upset and possibly make some effort to get things changed/reverted.

I would put a bit of blame on big corporations for not spending some of their lobbying money on fighting this requirement - not because they should get a free pass at misusing our info, but because they should be well equipped to know that the regulation will be addressed in a crappy way that costs them money and annoys users.
Can these underwater habitats 'make humans aquatic'?
There are several free alternatives to OpenAI that use the same API; which would make it possible to substitute OpenAI for one of those models in this extension. At least on paper. There is an open issue on the github repository requesting something like that.

So, it's not as clear cut. The general approach of using LLMs for this is not a bad one; LLMs are pretty good at this stuff.
