Adding a name to an element without a role, like span or div, is technically invalid; in this example, only the <ul> elements have valid names added to them, because they implicitly have the role of "list."

Also, aria-label and aria-labelledby replace the contents of an element when the contents would otherwise be the name; if the <span> elements where <p> instead (which has an implicit role), screen readers would only read "IMDb rating" and not "IMDb 8.2."

What might be happening is the aria-label attributes are ignored but the title attributes are used as a description after the contents. For some elements `title` can be used as an element description; I think descriptions are also invalid without a role but they may get used anyway.

I think it's best for a visualizing tool to not display attribute information that won't be used by screen readers.
I think that this boils down to people wanting a handheld computer that sometimes can make phone calls (android), or a phone that can do other stuff (apple).

They barely held any bitcoin or ether in their assets 0.1% and 1.2% respectively that customers had bought or deposited on the platform, they did hold a lot of crypto assets though.

Notably SOL sales accounted for close to half of recovered money here is a link to the last batch of $2.6B sale they made in May 2024 (https://dailycoin.com/ftx-estate-sells-last-2-6b-of-heavily-...)

There was controversy from creditors over the steep discount, a discount itself is not unusual given the size of the block sale and the fact the tokens are locked for 4 years with monthly vesting. Naturally there was dispute on how much discount is acceptable .

while Solona has grown 10x in price since the bankruptcy, it is not like people who had deposited SOL tokens are now covering for other deposits with just their holdings.

What depositors assets had against their accounts at the time had little correlation to what FTX itself had as assets, the two most popular tokens Bitcoin (0.1%) ETH(1.2%) assets were lot less than what they would have been just storing the customer tokens as is.

It is simpler to talk in bitcoin price given its popularity and use as baseline rather than prices of tokens and assets actually held by FTX itself or by users on FTX.

fail safe (rather than fail open) is generally regarded as the most acceptable thing we can do as CRUD programmers; that’s true, however it’s categorically untrue that this is a foregone conclusion.

There are many cases (especially in financial services) were failing safe is a much preferable option and having retry logic in application is much preferred
> Despite their popularity in Europe and Asia, tiny cars have never been able to get a foothold stateside.

Not sure about Asia, but the popularity of tiny cars in Europe is pretty... limited, I would say. Sure, they have carved out a niche, but the general trend is still favoring bigger cars here too. And this despite the various incentives (in the EU, car makers use small cars to drive down their "fleet CO2 emissions", in Japan kei cars have lower taxes etc.). Not saying that I'm in favor of this trend, but it's hard to deny it...

This will kill basically any peaker plant be that fossil, hydro or nuclear. That's kinda the point. With a renewable grid you'll need huge overcapacity of both production, peaker and storage that'll be rarely used. No matter the technology - any of it will get extremely expensive the higher the renewable share will get. Even Norway starts facing similar problems since they import cheap renewable in peak production, meaning their hydro is earning less

So let's say they aren't allowed to both own a marketplace and sell their own generic product in that marketplace, and so they have to spin Amazon Basics (AB) off into a separate company that is not treated any differently than any other seller on Amazon the marketplace (AM).

AB can still look at AM listings in a category and note what is popular (just like anyone can do since that is part of the details AM generally includes in listings), and make a generic version (just like anyone can do), and then sell that on AM. AB products are usually pretty good and usually quite reasonably priced and so even if treated exactly the same as everything else in their category are still likely to end up being included in the products that get algorithmically recommended as alternatives.

It's not clear to me how this would improve competition.

As far as your point on Chinese retailers goes, you are arguing that Amazon should allow fewer sellers and those sellers should be more regulated. That may be a good thing but I'm having some difficulty seeing how it is an antitrust thing.
This is such a bad faith argument.

Imagine you put up your house as an investment into some crypto exchange and the exchange goes bankrupt because it turns out they're misusing customer funds and defrauding their customers. You'll get your house back when legal proceedings are done. What value that house has before or after is sort of irrelevant except as a way for you to twist the issue to fit your narrative. Nobody made you put up your house in some nonsense crypto exchange. That was you.

Be glad the government is involved at all or you might not be getting anything back.

That is a different issue from ease of use, and depends on what software you want to use. There is certainly a lot of software that is available for Linux.

I am far from sure how you would measure "most". Number of executables, number of GUI apps...?. These days there are probably more GUI apps for mobile platforms than for desktops in any case.

A lot of the most commonly used software (e.g. web browsers) is cross platform.

Of course there is a lot of niche software that is Windows specific, but a lot of that has or will move to web based SaaS (not a good thing in my view, BTW).

NHTSA regulation is only part of the story. The blurb at the bottom saying the reason isn't lack of consumer interest is wrong from my experience. Driving is dangerous and roads are poorly designed so Americans are only interested in having a car bigger than the one driving next to you to protect themselves. Every time I see a Fiat on the road or even a VW buggy, the first thnig I hear from the people I'm driving with is "if they get in an accident they're dead." Poor regulation is how we got here but I don't see a way back.
There's no such thing as "monopoly practices". Being a monopoly isn't illegal. Exclusivity deals aren't illegal. What's illegal is using your powerful position in a market (a monopoly) to prevent competition. It's really the "prevent competition" bit where companies get in trouble.

An exclusivity deal from an upstart could be how they actually enable competition to exist.
> It's not clear that this is a specifically nuclear issue

An evacuation triggered by a nuclear major accident seems specific to nuclear to me, in the sense: if, instead of this nuclear plant, some field occupied by wind turbines or solar panels were build, there would be no need to evacuate.

> Had an area been evacuated due to earthquakes making the ground unstable

No human being can control nor counter this sort of event. We can decide to build wind/solar instead of nuclear reactors.

Yes, I agree with you that the "peace" mostly applies to those in the fold, and the only people who enjoyed a real, enduring peace for the whole time are the middle and upper classes of the very core of the empire. Personally, I would suggest that much of NATO (but not all of it at all times) has had relative peace during this time. The borders of empires have always had belligerents that need "putting down" from the perspective of the empire, which means small proxy wars. However, the "peace" usually refers to wars between nation-states.

Much of Europe's economic policy benefits from the huge subisdy that the US covers them with its guns - a drain of 6-10% of GDP may otherwise apply to NATO countries that find themselves up against Putin (and in a hypothetical world - maybe against each other). The Marshall Plan is also a relatively visible indication of how intertwined Europe's post-WWII growth was done with America's involvement, and when you look at US foreign aid ("imperial economic stimulus"), a lot of it today goes to poorer European nations. I agree with you that the EU (post-iron-curtain project) has been, as you suggest, a solely European initiative driven more by European solidarity than US guns. However, it exists in the world of the petrodollar (not any more) and with the quiet reassurance that many of the leading nations in the EU are NATO members. As we have seen with Ukraine, sometimes that NATO membership matters.

Empires are always a lot looser than we think - the Roman empire was a great example of this, where the nation-state of Rome (in the modern idea) didn't extend beyond the Alps until the Caracalla years, where Roman citizenship was truly extended to the provinces (note: after the end of the pax Romana). Egypt and the levant were basically completely autonomous, much like the EU is today.

Or you could just use publii, an office suite of your choice, or type bad html and css by hand, then pass raw files on very cheap hosting providers, enjoying a clunky, and sometimes ugly, "website".

The industry for this use-case works on looks and discoverability: the dichotomy of the WP big bloated piece of crap vs static clown generators stands upon having a pretty website which is also functional for Google. Any other alternative (like the builders or the directories) works the same but they also forfeit property of the site from client. It's just because these solutions are pretty for cheap, it's fast fashion.

You misunderstood the point: yes, burning coal is bad. The argument is that once you stop doing that, it’s over. I don’t think that’s completely true - the impact of mining and ash won’t instantly disappear - but if the question is whether we should switch from one thing which has significant environmental hazards to another which poses significant risks or alternatives which do not, that past example suggests that we should be having that conversation about how realistic it is to assume that a multi-century mitigation effort will be effective. Coal is especially interesting as an example because we’ve seen how the mining side of it became a powerful political force where even people whose families were negatively impacted by the pollution still lobbied for its preservation. Nuclear would be smaller but still likely to have that factor to account for as we’ve seen with “temporary” storage becoming de facto permanent.

I wonder whether The Qt Company has any plan to provide an alternative to C++ (Python doesn't count). Google, Microsoft and Apple have clearly indicated that they plan to move to Rust or other memory-safe languages for their future projects. Qt is used in industries where safety is critical (e.g. automotive) but they don't seem to be interested in this area.
Although, if I recall correctly in one of their keynotes, their CTO mentioned something that like Carbon would be more interesting for them than Rust as it would allow a gradual port of C++ code.

The tl;dr on high level performance improvements

"The scaling curves indicate that Diff Transformer requires only about 65% of model size or training tokens needed by Transformer to achieve comparable language modeling performance."

"Diff Transformer retains high performance even at reduced bit-widths, ranging from 16 bits to 6 bits. In comparison, Transformer’s accuracy significantly drops with 6-bit quantization. The 4-bit Diff Transformer achieves comparable accuracy as the 6-bit Transformer, and outperforms the 4-bit Transformer by about 25% in accuracy."

I think there's a lot of truth to this. It reminds me of an idea in economics about the "second-best". From the wikipedia page:

"In welfare economics, the theory of the second best concerns the situation when one or more optimality conditions cannot be satisfied. The economists Richard Lipsey and Kelvin Lancaster showed in 1956 that if one optimality condition in an economic model cannot be satisfied, it is possible that the next-best solution involves changing other variables away from the values that would otherwise be optimal. Politically, the theory implies that if it is infeasible to remove a particular market distortion, introducing one or more additional market distortions in an interdependent market may partially counteract the first, and lead to a more efficient outcome."

I agree with what you have said, except that AMD's experience with packaging techniques for multiple chips is way longer than "seven years".

The first multi-chip AMD CPU has been Opteron Magny-Cours, in 2010. It had up to 12 cores in two 6-core chips.

Zen 1 Epyc and Threadripper CPUs had a multi-chip partitioning more similar to Opteron Magny-Cours than to the following AMD CPUs, from Zen 2 to Zen 5.

Intel's multi-chip Xeons also have a partitioning like that of Magny-Cours and Zen 1, except that their peripheral interfaces are extracted into separate chiplets made with a different lower-resolution CMOS process.

The Magny-Cours/Zen 1/Xeon partitioning, where the memory controllers are distributed over the compute tiles, has the advantage of lower memory latency, but the disadvantage of non-uniform memory access (NUMA).
The problem is that night-vision-y technologies are heavily controlled and price inflated. Only few are willing to buy QCIF 30Hz cameras at $500 from AliExpress or from legitimate resellers at $2k.

Well, I know you don't think that's correct, but that's because you're wrong. You haven't read George's argument and I have, so we're just not on equal footing here.

An income tax is also a property tax is also a land tax is also a capital gains tax, yes? This is one way in which you're wrong.

Great stuff! I'm starting to work a lot on the satellite space (https://www.sourcemeta.com), building a binary serialization format around JSON called JSON BinPack (https://jsonbinpack.sourcemeta.com) that is extremely space-efficient to pack more documents in the same Iridium uplink/downlink operation (up to 74% more compact than Protocol Buffers. See reproducible benchmark here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.12799).

It is still a heavy work in progress, but if anybody here is suffering from expensive Iridium bills, I would love to connect and discuss to make sure JSON BinPack is built the right way!
Yeah, it's a real problem.

Personal example: I work just over a mile from home, most days I walk, but when the weather is crap, I drive. But, despite being wholly within a suburban area, the speed limits are 15mph (neighborhood), 35mph (suburban parkway), 55mph (suburban artery), and 20mph (office park).

Likewise, my wife works about 8 miles from home, and cycles some of the time. But driving, the speed limits vary from 25 to 45mph, again with nothing but 2-lane suburban streets.

I'd happily trade one of our full-size cars for an LSV or Kei equivalent, but it wouldn't be able to keep up on the short stretches where we need to go 45+mph (realistically, traffic is flowing at 50mph on many of these roads despite posted limits).

Actually, we saw a Kei truck (Honda Acty) driving up the road the other day. This was a 50mph dual-carriage way in the suburbs (stroad-ish). Pulling away from a traffic light, it could barely keep up. But, for weekend Home Depot runs it's probably perfect otherwise.
